e9df0f9c7a git p4: cygwin p4 client does not mark read-only
There are some old versions of p4, compiled for cygwin, that
treat read-only files differently.

Normally, a file that is not open is read-only, meaning that
"test -w" on the file is false.  This works on unix, and it works
on windows using the NT version of p4.  The cygwin version
of p4, though, changes the permissions, but does not set the
windows read-only attribute, so "test -w" returns false.

Notice this oddity and make the tests work, even on cygiwn.

In all clients, even those created on windows, use unix line
endings.  This makes it possible to verify file contents without
doing OS-specific comparisons in all the tests.

the other LineEnd options continue to work.

dfbf393700 git p4 test: newline handling
P4 stores newlines in the depos as \n.  By default, git does this
too, both on unix and windows.  Test to make sure that this stays
true.

Both git and p4 have mechanisms to use \r\n in the working
directory.  Exercise these.

7f0e596276 git p4: scrub crlf for utf16 files on windows
Files of type utf16 are handled with "p4 print" instead of the
normal "p4 -G print" interface due to how the latter does not
produce correct output.  See 55aa571 (git-p4: handle utf16
filetype properly, 2011-09-17) for details.

On windows, though, "p4 print" can not be told which line
endings to use, as there is no underlying client, and always
chooses crlf, even for utf16 files.  Convert the \r\n into \n
when importing utf16 files.

The fix for this is complex, in that the problem is a property
of the NT version of p4.  There are old versions of p4 that
were compiled directly for cygwin that should not be subjected
to text replacement.  The right check here, then, is to look
at the p4 version, not the OS version.  Note also that on cygwin,
platform.system() is "CYGWIN_NT-5.1" or similar, not "Windows".

Add a function to memoize the p4 version string and use it to
check for "/NT", indicating the Windows build of p4.

bb5ea62d80 git p4: remove unreachable windows \r\n conversion code
Replacing \r\n with \n on windows was added in c1f9197 (Replace
\r\n with \n when importing from p4 on Windows, 2007-05-24), to
work around an oddity with "p4 print" on windows.  Text files
are printed with "\r\r\n" endings, regardless of whether they
were created on unix or windows, and regardless of the client
LineEnd setting.

As of d2c6dd3 (use p4CmdList() to get file contents in Python
dicts. This is more robust., 2007-05-23), git-p4 uses "p4 -G
print", which generates files in a raw format.  As the native
line ending format if p4 is \n, there will be no \r\n in the
raw text.

Actually, it is possible to generate a text file so that the
p4 representation includes embedded \r\n, even though this is not
normal on either windows or unix.  In that case the code would
have mistakenly stripped them out, but now they will be left
intact.

More information on how p4 deals with line endings is here:

cfa96496bd git p4 test: translate windows paths for cygwin
Native windows binaries do not understand posix-like
path mapping offered by cygwin.  Convert paths to native
using "cygpath --windows" before presenting them to p4d.

This is done using the AltRoots mechanism of p4.  Both the
posix and windows forms are put in the client specification,
allowing p4 to find its location by native path even though
the environment reports a different PWD.

Shell operations in tests will use the normal form of $cli,
which will look like a posix path in cygwin, while p4 will
use AltRoots to match against the windows form of the working
directory.

This mechanism also handles the symlink issue that was fixed in
23bd0c9 (git p4 test: use real_path to resolve p4 client
symlinks, 2012-06-27).  Now that every p4 client view has
an AltRoots with the real_path in it, explicitly calculating
the real_path elsewhere is not necessary.

Commit fed2369 (git-p4: Search for parent commit on branch creation,

using os.path.join() instead of just string concatenation.  On

b495697b82 fetch-pack: avoid repeatedly re-scanning pack directory
When we look up a sha1 object for reading via parse_object() =>
read_sha1_file() => read_object() callpath, we first check
packfiles, and then loose objects. If we still haven't found it, we
re-scan the list of packfiles in `objects/pack`. This final step
ensures that we can co-exist with a simultaneous repack process
which creates a new pack and then prunes the old object.

This extra re-scan usually does not have a performance impact for
two reasons:

  1. If an object is missing, then typically the re-scan will find a
     new pack, then no more misses will occur.  Or if it truly is
     missing, then our next step is usually to die().

  2. Re-scanning is cheap enough that we do not even notice.

However, these do not always hold. The assumption in (1) is that the
caller is expecting to find the object. This is usually the case,
but the call to `parse_object` in `everything_local` does not follow
this pattern. It is looking to see whether we have objects that the
remote side is advertising, not something we expect to
have. Therefore if we are fetching from a remote which has many refs
pointing to objects we do not have, we may end up re-scanning the
pack directory many times.

Even with this extra re-scanning, the impact is often not noticeable
due to (2); we just readdir() the packs directory and skip any packs
that are already loaded. However, if there are a large number of
packs, even enumerating the directory can be expensive, especially
if we do it repeatedly.

Having this many packs is a good sign the user should run `git gc`,
but it would still be nice to avoid having to scan the directory at
all.

131b8fcbfb fetch: run gc --auto after fetching
We generally try to run "gc --auto" after any commands that
might introduce a large number of new objects. An obvious
place to do so is after running "fetch", which may introduce
new loose objects or packs (depending on the size of the
fetch).

While an active developer repository will probably
eventually trigger a "gc --auto" on another action (e.g.,
git-rebase), there are two good reasons why it is nicer to
do it at fetch time:

  1. Read-only repositories which track an upstream (e.g., a
     continuous integration server which fetches and builds,
     but never makes new commits) will accrue loose objects
     and small packs, but never coalesce them into a more
     efficient larger pack.

  2. Fetching is often already perceived to be slow to the
     user, since they have to wait on the network. It's much
     more pleasant to include a potentially slow auto-gc as
     part of the already-long network fetch than in the
     middle of productive work with git-rebase or similar.

be5c9fb904 logmsg_reencode: lazily load missing commit buffers
Usually a commit that makes it to logmsg_reencode will have
been parsed, and the commit->buffer struct member will be
valid. However, some code paths will free commit buffers
after having used them (for example, the log traversal
machinery will do so to keep memory usage down).

Most of the time this is fine; log should only show a commit
once, and then exits. However, there are some code paths
where this does not work. At least two are known:

  1. A commit may be shown as part of a regular ref, and
     then it may be shown again as part of a submodule diff
     (e.g., if a repo contains refs to both the superproject
     and subproject).

  2. A notes-cache commit may be shown during "log --all",
     and then later used to access a textconv cache during a
     diff.

Lazily loading in logmsg_reencode does not necessarily catch
all such cases, but it should catch most of them. Users of
the commit buffer tend to be either parsing for structure
(in which they will call parse_commit, and either we will
already have parsed, or we will load commit->buffer lazily
there), or outputting (either to the user, or fetching a
part of the commit message via format_commit_message). In
the latter case, we should always be using logmsg_reencode
anyway (and typically we do so via the pretty-print
machinery).

If there are any cases that this misses, we can fix them up
to use logmsg_reencode (or handle them on a case-by-case
basis if that is inappropriate).

dd0d388c44 logmsg_reencode: never return NULL
The logmsg_reencode function will return the reencoded
commit buffer, or NULL if reencoding failed or no reencoding
was necessary. Since every caller then ends up checking for NULL
and just using the commit's original buffer, anyway, we can
be a bit more helpful and just return that buffer when we
would have returned NULL.

Since the resulting string may or may not need to be freed,
we introduce a logmsg_free, which checks whether the buffer
came from the commit object or not (callers either
implemented the same check already, or kept two separate
pointers, one to mark the buffer to be used, and one for the
to-be-freed string).

Pushing this logic into logmsg_* simplifies the callers, and
will let future patches lazily load the commit buffer in a
single place.

200ebe362c commit: drop useless xstrdup of commit message
When git-commit is asked to reuse a commit message via "-c",
we call read_commit_message, which looks up the commit and
hands back either the re-encoded result, or a copy of the
original. We make a copy in the latter case so that the
ownership semantics of the return value are clear (in either
case, it can be freed).

However, since we return a "const char *", and since the
resulting buffer's lifetime is the same as that of the whole
program, we never bother to free it at all.

Let's just drop the copy. That saves us a copy in the common
case. While it does mean we leak in the re-encode case, it
doesn't matter, since we are relying on program exit to free
the memory anyway.

reintroducing the bug fixed by commit 7fb8e16 (git-remote-testgit: fix
race when spawning fast-import).

0846b0c905 git-remote-testpy: hash bytes explicitly
Under Python 3 'hasher.update(...)' must take a byte string and not a
unicode string.  Explicitly encode the argument to this method to hex
bytes so that we don't need to worry about failures to encode that might
occur if we chose a textual encoding.

This changes the directory used by git-remote-testpy for its git mirror
of the remote repository, but this tool should not have any serious
users as it is used primarily to test the Python remote helper
framework.

The use of encode() moves the required Python version forward to 2.0.

62c814b6b6 git_remote_helpers: use 2to3 if building with Python 3
Using the approach detailed in the Python documentation[1], run 2to3 on
the code as part of the build if building with Python 3.

The code itself requires no changes to convert cleanly.

5047822347 t9902: protect test from stray build artifacts
When you have random build artifacts in your build directory, left
behind by running "make" while on another branch, the "git help -a"
command run by __git_list_all_commands in the completion script that
is being tested does not have a way to know that they are not part
of the subcommands this build will ship.  Such extra subcommands may
come from the user's $PATH.  They will interfere with the tests that
expect a certain prefix to uniquely expand to a known completion.

Instrument the completion script and give it a way for us to tell
what (subset of) subcommands we are going to ship.

Also add a test to "git --help <prefix><TAB>" expansion.  It needs
to show not just commands but some selected documentation pages.

Based on an idea by Jeff King.

75e5c0dc55 push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCE
When we push to update an existing ref, if:

 * the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
 * the object we are pushing is not a commit,

it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge".  We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.

If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged.  In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time.  And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage.  As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.

In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.

Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

0f4d498dbe push: further simplify the logic to assign rejection reason
First compute the reason why this push would fail if done without
"--force", and then fail it by assigning that reason when the push
was not forced (or if there is no reason to require force, allow it
to succeed).

Record the fact that the push was forced in the forced_update field
only when the push would have failed without the option.

The code becomes shorter, less repetitive and easier to read this
way, especially given that the set of rejection reasons will be
extended in a later patch.

5ece083fc7 push: further clean up fields of "struct ref"
The "nonfastforward" and "update" fields are only used while
deciding what value to assign to the "status" locally in a single
function.  Remove them from the "struct ref".

The "requires_force" field is not used to decide if the proposed
update requires a --force option to succeed, or to record such a
decision made elsewhere.  It is used by status reporting code that
the particular update was "forced".  Rename it to "forced_update",
and move the code to assign to it around to further clarify how it
is used and what it is used for.

1187ec99b9 git-cvsimport.txt: cvsps-2 is deprecated
git-cvsimport relies on version 2 of cvsps and does not work with the
new version 3.  Since cvsps 3.x does not currently work as well as
version 2 for incremental import, document this fact.

Specifically, there is no way to make new git-cvsimport that supports
cvsps 3.x and have a seamless transition for existing users since cvsps
3.x needs a time from which to continue importing and git-cvsimport does
not save the time of the last import or import into a specific namespace
so there is no safe way to calculate the time of the last import.

bc93ceb7c5 git-svn: Simplify calculation of GIT_DIR
Since git-rev-parse already checks for the $GIT_DIR environment
variable and that it returns an actual git repository, there is no
need to repeat the checks again here.

This also fixes a problem where git-svn did not work in cases where
.git was a file with a gitdir: link.

[ew: squashed test case,
 delay setting GIT_DIR until after `git rev-parse --cdup` to fix t9101,
