It has been pointed out[1] that cwd() invokes "pwd(1)" while getcwd()
is a Perl-native XS function. For what we're using these for we can
use getcwd().
The performance difference is miniscule, we're saving on the order of
a millisecond or so, see [2] below for the benchmark. I don't think
this matters in practice for optimizing git-send-email or perl
execution (unlike the patches leading up to this one).
But let's do it regardless of that, if only so we don't have to think
about this as a low-hanging fruit anymore.

Instead of unconditionally requiring modules such as File::Spec, let's
only load them when needed. This speeds up code that only needs a
subset of the features Git.pm provides.
This brings a plain invocation of "git send-email" down from 52/37
loaded modules under NO_GETTEXT=[|Y] to 39/18, and it now takes
~60-~70ms instead of ~80-~90ms. The runtime of t9001-send-email.sh

Move the newly added "hooks_path" API in Git.pm to its only user in
git-send-email.perl. This was added in c8243933c7 (git-send-email:
Respect core.hooksPath setting, 2021-03-23), meaning that it hasn't
yet made it into a non-rc release of git.
The consensus with Git.pm is that we need to be considerate of
out-of-tree users who treat it as a public documented interface. We
should therefore be less willing to add new functionality to it, least
we be stuck supporting it after our own uses for it disappear.
In this case the git-send-email.perl hook invocation will probably be
replaced by a future "git hook run" command, and in the commit
preceding this one the "hooks_path" become nothing but a trivial
wrapper for "rev-parse --git-path hooks" anyway (with no
Cwd::abs_path() call), so let's just inline this command in
git-send-email.perl itself.

In c8243933c7 (git-send-email: Respect core.hooksPath setting,
2021-03-23) we started supporting core.hooksPath in "send-email". It's
been reported that on Windows[1] doing this by calling abs_path()
results in different canonicalizations of the absolute path.
This wasn't an issue in c8243933c7 itself, but was revealed by my
ea7811b37e (git-send-email: improve --validate error output,
2021-04-06) when we started emitting the path to the hook, which was
previously only internal to git-send-email.perl.
The just-landed 53753a37d0 (t9001-send-email.sh: fix expected
absolute paths on Windows, 2021-05-24) narrowly fixed this issue, but
I believe we can do better here. We should not be relying on whatever
changes Perl's abs_path() makes to the path "rev-parse --git-path
hooks" hands to us. Let's instead trust it, and hand it to Perl's
system() in git-send-email.perl. It will handle either a relative or
absolute path.
So let's revert most of 53753a37d0 and just have "hooks_path" return
what we get from "rev-parse" directly without modification. This has
the added benefit of making the error message friendlier in the common
case, we'll no longer print an absolute path for repository-local hook
errors.

We set "use warnings" in most of our perl code to catch problems. But as
the name implies, warnings just emit a message to stderr and don't
otherwise affect the program. So our tests are quite likely to miss that
warnings are being spewed, as most of them do not look at stderr.
We could ask perl to make all warnings fatal, but this is likely
annoying for non-developers, who would rather have a running program
with a warning than something that refuses to work at all.
So instead, let's teach the perl code to respect an environment variable
(GIT_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) to increase the severity of the warnings. This
can be set for day-to-day running if people want to be really pedantic,
but the primary use is to trigger it within the test suite.
We could also trigger that for every test run, but likewise even the
tests failing may be annoying to distro builders, etc (just as -Werror
would be for compiling C code). So we'll tie it to a special test-mode
variable (GIT_TEST_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) that can be set in the
environment or as a Makefile knob, and we'll automatically turn the knob
when DEVELOPER=1 is set. That should give developers and CI the more
careful view without disrupting normal users or packagers.
Note that the mapping from the GIT_TEST_* form to the GIT_* form in
test-lib.sh is necessary even if they had the same name: the perl
scripts need it to be normalized to a perl truth value, and we also have
to make sure it's exported (we might have gotten it from the
environment, but we might also have gotten it from GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS
directly).

The commit 9ab33150a0 ("perl: create and switch variables for hash
constants", 2020-06-22) converted each instance of the variable
$sha1_short into $oid_short in the Subversion code, since git-svn now
understands SHA-256. However, one conversion was missed.
As a result, Perl complains about the use of this variable:
Use of uninitialized value $sha1_short in regexp compilation at
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.30.3/Git/SVN/Log.pm line 301, <$fh>
line 6.
Because we're parsing raw diff output here, the likelihood is very low
that we'll actually misparse the data, since the only lines we're going
to get starting with colons are the ones we're expecting. Even if we
had a newline in a path, we'd end up with a quoted path. Our regex is
just less strict than we'd like it to be.
However, it's obviously undesirable that our code is emitting Perl
warnings, so let's convert it to use the proper variable name.

There are several places throughout git-svn that use various hard-coded

record size we use for our revision storage based on the object ID.
When parsing the revision map format, use a wildcard in the pack format
since we know that the data we're parsing is always exactly the record
size. This lets us continue to use a constant for the pack format.

A build-time option has been added to allow Git to be told to refer
to its associated files relative to the main binary, in the same
way that has been possible on Windows for quite some time, for
Linux, BSDs and Darwin.
* dj/runtime-prefix:
Makefile: quote $INSTLIBDIR when passing it to sed
Makefile: remove unused @@PERLLIBDIR@@ substitution variable
mingw/msvc: use the new-style RUNTIME_PREFIX helper
exec_cmd: provide a new-style RUNTIME_PREFIX helper for Windows
exec_cmd: RUNTIME_PREFIX on some POSIX systems
Makefile: add Perl runtime prefix support
Makefile: generate Perl header from template file
Broaden the RUNTIME_PREFIX flag to configure Git's Perl scripts to
locate the Git installation's Perl support libraries by resolving
against the script's path, rather than hard-coding that path at
build-time. Hard-coding at build time worked on previous
RUNTIME_PREFIX configurations (i.e., Windows) because the Perl
scripts were run within a virtual filesystem whose paths were
consistent regardless of the location of the actual installation.
This will no longer be the case for non-Windows RUNTIME_PREFIX users.
When enabled, RUNTIME_PREFIX now requires Perl's system paths to be
expressed relative to a common installation directory in the Makefile,
and uses that relationship to locate support files based on the known
starting point of the script being executed, much like RUNTIME_PREFIX
does for the Git binary.
This change enables Git's Perl scripts to work when their Git installation
is relocated or moved to another system, even when they are not in a
virtual filesystem environment.

Currently, the generated Perl script headers are emitted by commands in

Change the Makefile to generate a header by processing a template file and
move the header content into the "perl/" subdirectory. The generated
header content will now be stored in the "GIT-PERL-HEADER" file. This
allows the content of the Perl header to be controlled by changing the path
of the template in the Makefile.

own, as the code added in b26098fc2f ("git-svn: reduce scope of input

"use warnings" already that's clearly not a codepath that's going to

explains what the potential breakage is, and how to fix it.
The reason for checking @@NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS@@] against the empty

that's (as far as I can tell) make's idea of a string that's set, and

Change the two wrappers that load from CPAN (local OS) or our own copy
to do so via the same codepath.
I added the Error.pm wrapper in 20d2a30f8f ("Makefile: replace
perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules", 2017-12-10), and shortly
afterwards Matthieu Moy added a wrapper for Mail::Address in
bd869f67b9 ("send-email: add and use a local copy of Mail::Address",
2018-01-05).
His loader was simpler since Mail::Address doesn't have an "import"
method, but didn't do the same sanity checking; For example, a missing
FromCPAN directory (which OS packages are likely not to have) wouldn't
be explicitly warned about as a "BUG: ...".
Update both to use a common implementation based on the previous
Error.pm loader. Which has been amended to take the module to load as
parameter, as well as whether or not that module has an import
method.
This loader should be generic enough to handle almost all CPAN modules
out there, some use some crazy loading magic and wouldn't like being
wrapped like this, but that would be immediately obvious, and we'd
find out right away since the module wouldn't work at all.

The Error.pm shipped with Git as a fallback if there was no Error.pm
on the system was released in April 2006. There's been dozens of
releases since then, the latest at August 7, 2017. Let's update to
that.
I don't know of anything we need from this new release or which this
fixes. This change is simply a matter of keeping up with
upstream. Before this users who'd install git via their package system
would get an up-to-date Error.pm, but if it's installed from source
they'd get one more than a decade old.
This undoes a local hack we'd accumulated in 96bc4de85c ("Eliminate
Scalar::Util usage from private-Error.pm", 2006-07-26), it's been
redundant since my d48b284183 ("perl: bump the required Perl version
to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]", 2010-09-24).
This also undoes 3a51467b94 ("Typo fix: replacing it's -> its",
2013-04-13). This is the Nth time I find that some upstream code of
ours (in contrib/, in sha1dc/ and now in perl/ ...) has diverged from
upstream because of some tree-wide typo fixing. Let's not do those
fixes against upstream projects, it's more valuable that we have a 1=1
mapping to upstream than to fix typos in docs we never even generate
from this code. If someone wants to fix typos in them fine, but they
should do it with a patch to upstream which git.git can then
incorporate.
The upstream code doesn't cleanly pass a --check, so I'm adding a
.gitattributes file for similar reasons as done for sha1dc in
5d184f468e ("sha1dc: ignore indent-with-non-tab whitespace

Ever since this code was introduced in b1edc53d06 ("Introduce

In Perl the "use strict/warnings" pragmas are lexical, thus there's no
reason to do:
package Foo;
use strict;
package Bar;
use strict;
$x = 5;
To satisfy the desire that the undeclared $x variable will be spotted
at compile-time. It's enough to include the first "use strict".
This functionally changes nothing, but makes a subsequent change where
"use warnings" will be added to Git.pm less confusing and less

The Git::Mail::Address file added in bd869f67b9 ("send-email: add and
use a local copy of Mail::Address", 2018-01-05) had the executable bit
set. That bit should not be set for *.pm files. It breaks nothing but
it is redundant and confusing as none of the other files have it and
these files are never executed as stand-alone programs.

Amazingly, timegm(gmtime(0)) is only 0 before 2020 because perl's
timegm deviates from GNU timegm(3) in how it handles years.
man Time::Local says
Whenever possible, use an absolute four digit year instead.
with a detailed explanation about ambiguity of 2-digit years above that.
Even though this ambiguity is error-prone with >50% of users getting it
wrong, it has been like this for 20+ years, so we just use 4-digit years
everywhere to be on the safe side.
We add some extra logic to cvsimport because it allows 2-digit year
input and interpreting an 18 as 1918 can be avoided easily and safely.

The build procedure for perl/ part has been greatly simplified by
weaning ourselves off of MakeMaker.
* ab/simplify-perl-makefile:
perl: treat PERLLIB_EXTRA as an extra path again
perl: avoid *.pmc and fix Error.pm further
Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules
We now use Mail::Address unconditionaly, hence parse_mailboxes is now
dead code. Remove it and its tests.

We used to have two versions of the email parsing code. Our
parse_mailboxes (in Git.pm), and Mail::Address which we used if
installed. Unfortunately, both versions have different sets of bugs, and
changing the behavior of git depending on whether Mail::Address is
installed was a bad idea.
A first attempt to solve this was cc90750 (send-email: don't use
Mail::Address, even if available, 2017-08-23), but it turns out our
parse_mailboxes is too buggy for some uses. For example the lack of
nested comments support breaks get_maintainer.pl in the Linux kernel
tree:
https://public-inbox.org/git/20171116154814.23785-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org/
This patch goes the other way: use Mail::Address anyway, but have a
local copy from CPAN as a fallback, when the system one is not
available.
The duplicated script is small (276 lines of code) and stable in time.
Maintaining the local copy should not be an issue, and will certainly be
less burden than maintaining our own parse_mailboxes.
Another option would be to consider Mail::Address as a hard dependency,
but it's easy enough to save the trouble of extra-dependency to the end
user or packager.

The previous round tried to use *.pmc files but it confused RPM
dependency analysis on some distros. Install them as plain
vanilla *.pm files instead.
Also "local @_" construct did not properly work when goto &sub
is used until recent versions of Perl. Avoid it (and we do not
need to localize it here anyway).

Replace the perl/Makefile.PL and the fallback perl/Makefile used under
NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=NoThanks with a much simpler implementation heavily
inspired by how the i18n infrastructure's build process works[1].
The reason for having the Makefile.PL in the first place is that it
was initially[2] building a perl C binding to interface with libgit,
this functionality, that was removed[3] before Git.pm ever made it to
the master branch.
We've since since started maintaining a fallback perl/Makefile, as
MakeMaker wouldn't work on some platforms[4]. That's just the tip of
the iceberg. We have the PM.stamp hack in the top-level Makefile[5] to
detect whether we need to regenerate the perl/perl.mak, which I fixed
just recently to deal with issues like the perl version changing from
under us[6].
There is absolutely no reason for why this needs to be so complex
anymore. All we're getting out of this elaborate Rube Goldberg machine
was copying perl/* to perl/blib/* as we do a string-replacement on
the *.pm files to hardcode @@LOCALEDIR@@ in the source, as well as
pod2man-ing Git.pm & friends.
So replace the whole thing with something that's pretty much a copy of
how we generate po/build/**.mo from po/*.po, just with a small sed(1)
command instead of msgfmt. As that's being done rename the files
from *.pm to *.pmc just to indicate that they're generated (see
"perldoc -f require").
While I'm at it, change the fallback for Error.pm from being something
where we'll ship our own Error.pm if one doesn't exist at build time
to one where we just use a Git::Error wrapper that'll always prefer
the system-wide Error.pm, only falling back to our own copy if it
really doesn't exist at runtime. It's now shipped as
Git::FromCPAN::Error, making it easy to add other modules to
Git::FromCPAN::* in the future if that's needed.
Functional changes:
* This will not always install into perl's idea of its global
"installsitelib". This only potentially matters for packagers that
need to expose Git.pm for non-git use, and as explained in the
INSTALL file there's a trivial workaround.
* The scripts themselves will 'use lib' the target directory, but if
INSTLIBDIR is set it overrides it. It doesn't have to be this way,
it could be set in addition to INSTLIBDIR, but my reading of [7] is
that this is the desired behavior.
* We don't build man pages for all of the perl modules as we used to,
only Git(3pm). As discussed on-list[8] that we were building
installed manpages for purely internal APIs like Git::I18N or
private-Error.pm was always a bug anyway, and all the Git::SVN::*
ones say they're internal APIs.
There are apparently external users of Git.pm, but I don't expect
there to be any of the others.
As a side-effect of these general changes the perl documentation
now only installed by install-{doc,man}, not a mere "install" as
before.
