18ec800512 difftool: handle modified symlinks in dir-diff mode
Detect the null object ID for symlinks in dir-diff so that difftool can
detect when symlinks are modified in the worktree.

Previously, a null symlink object ID would crash difftool.
Handle null object IDs as unknown content that must be read from
the worktree.

be8a90e59c difftool: add a skeleton for the upcoming builtin
This adds a builtin difftool that still falls back to the legacy Perl
version, which has been renamed to `legacy-difftool`.

The idea is that the new, experimental, builtin difftool immediately hands
off to the legacy difftool for now, unless the config variable
difftool.useBuiltin is set to true.

This feature flag will be used in the upcoming Git for Windows v2.11.0
release, to allow early testers to opt-in to use the builtin difftool and
flesh out any bugs.

853e10c197 difftool: fix dir-diff index creation when in a subdirectory
9ec26e7977 (difftool: fix argument handling in subdirs, 2016-07-18)
corrected how path arguments are handled in a subdirectory, but
it introduced a regression in how entries outside of the
subdirectory are handled by dir-diff.

When preparing the right-side of the diff we only include the
changed paths in the temporary area.

The left side of the diff is constructed from a temporary
index that is built from the same set of changed files, but it
was being constructed from within the subdirectory.  This is a
problem because the indexed paths are toplevel-relative, and
thus they were not getting added to the index.

Teach difftool to chdir to the toplevel of the repository before
preparing its temporary indexes.  This ensures that all of the
toplevel-relative paths are valid.

Add test cases to more thoroughly exercise this scenario.

45a4f5d9f9 difftool: always honor fatal error exit codes
At the moment difftool's "trust exit code" logic always suppresses the
exit status of the diff utility we invoke.  This is useful because we
don't want to exit just because diff returned "1" because the files
differ, but it's confusing if the shell returns an error because the
selected diff utility is not found.

POSIX specifies 127 as the exit status for "command not found", 126 for
"command found but is not executable" and values greater than 128 if the
command terminated because it received a signal [1] and at least bash
and dash follow this specification, while diff utilities generally use
"1" for the exit status we want to ignore.

Handle any value of 126 or greater as a special value indicating that
some form of fatal error occurred.

fd318a941d mingw: work around pwd issues in the tests
In Git for Windows' SDK, the tests are run using a Bash that relies on
the POSIX emulation layer MSYS2 (itself a friendly fork of Cygwin). As
such, paths in tests can be POSIX paths. As soon as those paths are
passed to git.exe (which does *not* use the POSIX emulation layer),
those paths are converted into Windows paths, though. This happens
for command-line parameters, but not when reading, say, config variables.

To help with that, the `pwd` command is overridden to return the Windows
path of the current working directory when testing Git on Windows.

However, when talking to anything using the POSIX emulation layer, it is
really much better to use POSIX paths because Windows paths contain a
colon after the drive letter that will easily be mistaken for the common
separator in path lists.

So let's just use the $PWD variable when the POSIX path is needed.

This lets t7800-difftool.sh, t9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh,
t9402-git-cvsserver-refs.sh and t9401-git-cvsserver-crlf.sh pass in Git
for Windows' SDK.

Note: the cvsserver tests require not only the `cvs` package (install
it into Git for Windows' SDK via `pacman -S cvs`) but also the Perl
SQLite bindings (install them into Git for Windows' SDK via
`cpan DBD::SQLite`).

This patch is based on earlier work by 마누엘 and Karsten Blees.

c253b82e42 Merge branch 'da/difftool'
The code to prepare the working tree side of temporary directory
for the "dir-diff" feature forgot that symbolic links need not be
copied (or symlinked) to the temporary area, as the code already
special cases and overwrites them.  Besides, it was wrong to try
computing the object name of the target of symbolic link, which may
not even exist or may be a directory.

cfe2d4be91 difftool: ignore symbolic links in use_wt_file
The caller is preparing a narrowed-down copy of the working tree and
this function is asked if the path should be included in that copy.
If we say yes, the path from the working tree will be either symlinked
or copied into the narrowed-down copy.

For any path that is a symbolic link, the caller later fixes up the
narrowed-down copy by unlinking the path and replacing it with a
regular file it writes out that mimics the way how "git diff"
compares symbolic links.

Let's answer "no, you do not want to copy/symlink the working tree
file" for all symbolic links from this function, as we know the
result will not be used because it will be overwritten anyway.

Incidentally, this also stops the function from feeding a symbolic
link in the working tree to hash-object, which is a wrong thing to
do to begin with. The link may be pointing at a directory, or worse
may be dangling (both would be noticed as an error).  Even if the
link points at a regular file, hashing the contents of a file that
is pointed at by the link is not correct (Git hashes the contents of
the link itself, not the pointee).

89294d143d run_external_diff: clean up error handling
When the external diff reports an error, we try to clean up
and die. However, we can make this process a bit simpler:

  1. We do not need to bother freeing memory, since we are
     about to exit.  Nor do we need to clean up our
     tempfiles, since the atexit() handler will do it for
     us. So we can die as soon as we see the error.

  3. We can just call die() rather than fprintf/exit. This
     does technically change our exit code, but the exit
     code of "1" is not meaningful here. In fact, it is
     probably wrong, since "1" from diff usually means
     "completed successfully, but there were differences".

And while we're there, we can mark the error message for
translation, and drop the full stop at the end to make it
more like our other messages.

32eaf1de7f difftool --dir-diff: allow changing any clean working tree file
The temporary directory prepared by "difftool --dir-diff" to
show the result of a change can be modified by the user via
the tree diff program, and we try hard not to lose changes
to them after tree diff program returns to us.

However, the set of files to be copied back is computed
differently between --symlinks and --no-symlinks modes.  The
former checks all paths that start out as identical to the
working tree file, while the latter checks paths that
already had a local modification in the working tree,
allowing changes made in the tree diff program to paths that
did not have any local change to be lost.

3caf5a93d8 t7800: fix tests when difftool uses --no-symlinks
When 'git difftool --dir-diff' is using --no-symlinks (either explicitly
or implicitly because it's running on Windows), any working tree files
that have been copied to the temporary directory are copied back after
the difftool completes.

Because an earlier test uses "git add .", the "output" file used by
tests is tracked by Git and the following sequence occurs during some
tests:

1) the shell opens "output" to redirect the difftool output
2) difftool copies the empty "output" to the temporary directory
3) difftool runs "ls" which writes to "output"
4) difftool copies the empty "output" file back over the output of the
   command
5) the output file doesn't contain the expected output, causing the
   test to fail

Instead of adding all changes, explicitly add only the files that the
test is using, allowing later tests to write their result files into the
working tree.

67aa147af7 difftool: don't overwrite modified files
After running the user's diff tool, git-difftool will copy any files
that differ between the working tree and the temporary tree.  This is
useful when the user edits the file in their diff tool but is wrong if
they edit the working tree file while examining the diff.

Instead of copying unconditionally when the files differ, create and
index from the working tree files and only copy the temporary file back
if it was modified and the working tree file was not.  If both files
have been modified, print a warning and exit with an error.

Note that we cannot use an existing index in git-difftool since those
contain the modified files that need to be checked out but here we are
looking at those files which are copied from the working tree and not
checked out.  These are precisely the files which are not in the
existing indices.

02c56314aa difftool --dir-diff: symlink all files matching the working tree
Some users like to edit files in their diff tool when using "git
difftool --dir-diff --symlink" to compare against the working tree but
difftool currently only created symlinks when a file contains unstaged
changes.

Change this behaviour so that symlinks are created whenever the
right-hand side of the comparison has the same SHA1 as the file in the
working tree.

Note that textconv filters are handled in the same way as by git-diff
and if a clean filter is not the inverse of its smudge filter we already
get a null SHA1 from "diff --raw" and will symlink the file without
going through the new hash-object based check.

Users occasionally run into problems where they expect to be
able to override the built-in tool names.  The documentation
does not explicitly mention that built-ins cannot be overridden,
so it's easy to assume that it should work.

Lift this restriction so that built-in tools are handled the
same way as user-configured tools.  Add tests to guarantee this
behavior.

A nice benefit of this change is that it protects users from
having future versions of git trump their custom configuration
with a new built-in tool.

bf73fc212a difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help'
Since bc7a96a (mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate files,
2011-08-18), it is possible to add a new diff tool by creating a simple
script in the '$(git --exec-path)/mergetools' directory.  Updating the
difftool help text is still a manual process, and the documentation can
easily go out of sync.

This commit teaches difftool the '--tool-help' option, which:
  - Reads the list of valid tools from 'mergetools/*'
  - Determines which of them are actually installed
  - Determines which are capable of diffing (i.e. not just a merge tool)
  - Prints the resulting list for the user

7e0abcec10 difftool: teach difftool to handle directory diffs
When 'difftool' is called to compare a range of commits that modify
more than one file, it opens a separate instance of the diff tool for
each file that changed.

The new '--dir-diff' option copies all the modified files to a temporary
location and runs a directory diff on them in a single instance of the
diff tool.

850896042a difftool: add '--no-gui' option
This commit teaches difftool to handle the '--no-gui' option. This option
negates the existing '--gui' option. The last setting given on the command
line wins.

This allows a user to configure "[alias] mdt = difftool --gui", but still
have the ability to override the setting without error:

$ git mdt --no-gui

d50b2c73b6 t7800: Test difftool passing arguments to diff
git-difftool relies on the ability to forward unknown arguments
to the git-diff command.  Add a test to ensure that this works
as advertised.

15a31e7885 t7800: avoid arithmetic expansion notation
The construct "var=$(( something ..." is interpreted by some shells as
arithmetic expansion, even when it clearly is not, e.g.

	var=$((foo; bar) | baz)

Avoid the issue by giving an extra SP to help the parser, i.e.

	var=$( (foo; bar) | baz )

Noticed by Michael J Gruber.

ba959de165 git-difftool: allow skipping file by typing 'n' at prompt
This is useful if you forgot to restrict the diff to the paths you want
to see, or selecting precisely the ones you want is too much typing.

[jc: with a change to return from the function upon 'n' by Charles Bailey
and a small tweak in stdin_doesnot_contain() in the test]

As we seem to need this variable that holds a single LF character
in many places, define it in test-lib.sh and let the test scripts
use it.
