The commands git-branch and git-tag accept the '--create-reflog'
option, and create reflog even when core.logallrefupdates
configuration is explicitly set not to.
On the other hand, the negated form '--no-create-reflog' is accepted
as a valid option but has no effect (other than overriding an
earlier '--create-reflog' on the command line). This silent noop may
puzzle users. To communicate that this is a known limitation, add a

Prior to c2f41bf52 (color.c: fix color_parse_mem() with
value_len == 0, 2017-01-19), the empty string was
interpreted as a color "reset". This was an accidental
outcome, and that commit turned it into an error.
However, scripts may pass the empty string as a default
value to "git config --get-color" to disable color when the
value is not defined. The git-add--interactive script does
this. As a result, the script is unusable since c2f41bf52
unless you have color.diff.plain defined (if it is defined,
then we don't parse the empty default at all).
Our test scripts didn't notice the recent breakage because
they run without a terminal, and thus without color. They
never hit this code path at all. And nobody noticed the
original buggy "reset" behavior, because it was effectively
a noop.
Let's fix the code to have an empty color name produce an
empty sequence of color codes. The tests need a few fixups:
- we'll add a new test in t4026 to cover this case. But
note that we need to tweak the color() helper. While
we're there, let's factor out the literal ANSI ESC
character. Otherwise it makes the diff quite hard to
read.
- we'll add a basic sanity-check in t4026 that "git add
-p" works at all when color is enabled. That would have
caught this bug, as well as any others that are specific
to the color code paths.
- 73c727d69 (log --graph: customize the graph lines with
config log.graphColors, 2017-01-19) added a test to
t4202 that checks some "invalid" graph color config.
Since ",, blue" before yielded only "blue" as valid, and
now yields "empty, empty, blue", we don't match the
expected output.
One way to fix this would be to change the expectation
to the empty color strings. But that makes the test much
less interesting, since we show only two graph lines,
both of which would be colorless.
Since the empty-string case is now covered by t4026,
let's remove them entirely here. They're just in the way
of the primary thing the test is supposed to be
checking.

The default behavior of update-ref to create reflogs differs in
repositories with worktree and bare ones. The existing tests cover only
the behavior of repositories with worktree.
This commit adds tests that assert the correct behavior in bare
repositories for update-ref. Two cases are covered:
- If core.logAllRefUpdates is not set, no reflogs should be created
- If core.logAllRefUpdates is true, reflogs should be created
Signed-off-by: Cornelius Weig <cornelius.weig@tngtech.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).
However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than
the performance implications of keeping the log around.
This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

When running git-p4 on Windows, with multiple git-p4.mapUser entries in
git config - no user mappings are applied to the generated repository.
Reproduction Steps:
1. Add multiple git-p4.mapUser entries to git config on a Windows
machine
2. Attempt to clone a p4 repository
None of the user mappings will be applied.
This issue is actually caused by gitConfigList, using split(os.linesep)
to convert the output of git config --get-all into a list. On Windows,
os.linesep is equal to '\r\n' - however git.exe returns configuration
with a line seperator of '\n'.
This leads to the list returned by gitConfigList containing only one
element - which contains the full output of git config --get-all in
string form, which causes problems for the code introduced to
getUserMapFromPerforceServer in 10d08a149d ("git-p4: map a P4 user to
Git author name and email address", 2016-03-01)
This issue should be caught by the test introduced in 10d08a1, however
would require running on Windows to reproduce.
Using splitlines solves this issue, by splitting config on all
typical delimiters ('\n', '\r\n' etc.)

On Windows, executables need to have the file extension `.exe`, or they
are not executables. Hence, to support scripts, Git for Windows also
looks for a she-bang line by opening the file in question, and executing
it via the specified script interpreter.
To figure out whether files in the `PATH` are executable, `git help` has
code that imitates this behavior. With one exception: it *always* opens
the files and looks for a she-bang line *or* an `MZ` tell-tale
(nevermind that files with the magic `MZ` but without file extension
`.exe` would still not be executable).
Opening this many files leads to performance problems that are even more
serious when a virus scanner is running. Therefore, let's change the
code to look for the file extension `.exe` early, and avoid opening the
file altogether if we already know that it is executable.

This commit improves the wording such that the section about sign-off

pgp-signing could be relevant at later stages of the submission.

t/Makefile: add a rule to re-run previously-failed tests
This patch automates the process of determining which tests failed
previously and re-running them.
While developing patch series, it is a good practice to run the test
suite from time to time, just to make sure that obvious bugs are caught
early. With complex patch series, it is common to run `make -j15 -k
test`, i.e. run the tests in parallel and *not* stop at the first
failing test but continue. This has the advantage of identifying
possibly multiple problems in one big test run.
It is particularly important to reduce the turn-around time thusly on
Windows, where the test suite spends 45 minutes on the computer on which
this patch was developed.
It is the most convenient way to determine which tests failed after
running the entire test suite, in parallel, to look for left-over "trash
directory.t*" subdirectories in the t/ subdirectory. However, those
directories might live outside t/ when overridden using the
--root=<directory> option, to which the Makefile has no access. The next
best method is to grep explicitly for failed tests in the test-results/
directory, which the Makefile *can* access.
Please note that the often-recommended `prove` tool requires Perl, and
that opens a whole new can of worms on Windows. As no native Windows Perl
comes with Subversion bindings, we have to use a Perl in Git for Windows
that uses the POSIX emulation layer named MSYS2 (which is a portable
version of Cygwin). When using this emulation layer under stress, e.g.
when running massively-parallel tests, unexplicable crashes occur quite
frequently, and instead of having a solution to the original problem, the
developer now has an additional, quite huge problem. For that reason, this
developer rejected `prove` as a solution and went with this patch instead.

submodule absorbing: fix worktree/gitdir pointers recursively for non-moves
Consider having a submodule 'sub' and a nested submodule at 'sub/nested'.
When nested is already absorbed into sub, but sub is not absorbed into
its superproject, then we need to fixup the gitfile and core.worktree
setting for 'nested' when absorbing 'sub', but we do not need to move
its git dir around.
Previously 'nested's gitfile contained "gitdir: ../.git/modules/nested";
it has to be corrected to "gitdir: ../../.git/modules/sub1/modules/nested".
An alternative I considered to do this work lazily, i.e. when resolving
"../.git/modules/nested", we would notice the ".git" being a gitfile
linking to another path. That seemed to be robuster by design, but harder
to get the implementation right. Maybe we have to do that anyway once we
try to have submodules and worktrees working nicely together, but for now
just produce 'correct' (i.e. direct) pointers.

for speculative calls, so we want to use the gentle version to find out
about potential errors.

The recent fixes to "fsck --connectivity-only" load all of
the objects with their correct types. This keeps the
connectivity-only code path close to the regular one, but it
also introduces some unnecessary inefficiency. While getting
the type of an object is cheap compared to actually opening
and parsing the object (as the non-connectivity-only case
would do), it's still not free.
For reachable non-blob objects, we end up having to parse
them later anyway (to see what they point to), making our
type lookup here redundant.
For unreachable objects, we might never hit them at all in
the reachability traversal, making the lookup completely
wasted. And in some cases, we might have quite a few
unreachable objects (e.g., when alternates are used for
shared object storage between repositories, it's normal for
there to be objects reachable from other repositories but
not the one running fsck).
The comment in mark_object_for_connectivity() claims two
benefits to getting the type up front:
1. We need to know the types during fsck_walk(). (And not
explicitly mentioned, but we also need them when
printing the types of broken or dangling commits).
We can address this by lazy-loading the types as
necessary. Most objects never need this lazy-load at
all, because they fall into one of these categories:
a. Reachable from our tips, and are coerced into the
correct type as we traverse (e.g., a parent link
will call lookup_commit(), which converts OBJ_NONE
to OBJ_COMMIT).
b. Unreachable, but not at the tip of a chunk of
unreachable history. We only mention the tips as
"dangling", so an unreachable commit which links
to hundreds of other objects needs only report the
type of the tip commit.
2. It serves as a cross-check that the coercion in (1a) is
correct (i.e., we'll complain about a parent link that
points to a blob). But we get most of this for free
already, because right after coercing, we'll parse any
non-blob objects. So we'd notice then if we expected a
commit and got a blob.
The one exception is when we expect a blob, in which
case we never actually read the object contents.
So this is a slight weakening, but given that the whole
point of --connectivity-only is to sacrifice some data
integrity checks for speed, this seems like an
acceptable tradeoff.
Here are before and after timings for an extreme case with
~5M reachable objects and another ~12M unreachable (it's the
torvalds/linux repository on GitHub, connected to shared
storage for all of the other kernel forks):
[before]
$ time git fsck --no-dangling --connectivity-only
real 3m4.323s
user 1m25.121s
sys 1m38.710s
[after]
$ time git fsck --no-dangling --connectivity-only
real 0m51.497s
user 0m49.575s
sys 0m1.776s

fsck: move typename() printing to its own function
When an object has a problem, we mention its type. But we do
so by feeding the result of typename() directly to
fprintf(). This is potentially dangerous because typename()
can return NULL for some type values (like OBJ_NONE).
It's doubtful that this can be triggered in practice with
the current code, so this is probably not fixing a bug. But
it future-proofs us against modifications that make things
like OBJ_NONE more likely (and gives future patches a
central point to handle them).

The files in contrib/examples are meant to illustrate "you could
combine plumbing commands to implement something like these"; this
is an opposite and is an example of what not to do, e.g. accessing
the object store directly bypassing Git.
Remove it.

Back in the olden days, when all objects were loose and rubber boots were
made out of wood, it made sense to try to share (immutable) objects
between repositories.
Ever since the arrival of pack files, it is but an anachronism.
Let's move the script to the contrib/examples/ directory and no longer
offer it.

difftool: hack around -Wzero-length-format warning
Building with "gcc -Wall" will complain that the format in:
warning("")
is empty. Which is true, but the warning is over-eager. We
are calling the function for its side effect of printing
"warning:", even with an empty string.
Our DEVELOPER Makefile knob disables the warning, but not
everybody uses it. Let's silence the warning in the code so
that nobody reports it or tries to "fix" it.
