Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.
A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.
For commit, the error message used to look like this:
$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees
The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.
The new output looks like:
U foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.
Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.
The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

Perviously, the error message was:
git: 'remote-foo' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.
By not treating the transport helper as a git command, a more suitable
error is reported:

There were the two strings "SHA1 ID: " and "SHA1 ID:" as description
for the SHA1 search textbox. Change it to two equal strings, the
space is now outside of the translated string.
Furthermore the German translation wasn't unique, but "SHA1:" resp.
"SHA1-Hashwert:". The former was displayed after initialisation, the
latter after changes to the textbox, for example when clearing the text.
But it was too long to be displayed fully, so use a shorter translation.

If the user creates a tag with the "create tag" dialog in gitk and
then clicks on the newly-created tag, its contents don't get
displayed. The reason is that rereadrefs hasn't been called, meaning
the tag doesn't exist in $tagobjid. This causes the cat-file to fail.
Instead of using $tagobjid, pass the $tag directly, ensuring the tag
contents are populated correctly.

* jc/maint-1.6.4-grep-lookahead:
grep: optimize built-in grep by skipping lines that do not hit
This needs to be an evil merge as fixmatch() changed signature since
5183bf6 (grep: Allow case insensitive search of fixed-strings,
2009-11-06).
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The internal "grep" engine we use checks for hits line-by-line, instead of
letting the underlying regexec()/fixmatch() routines scan for the first
match from the rest of the buffer. This was a major source of overhead
compared to the external grep.
Introduce a "look-ahead" mechanism to find the next line that would
potentially match by using regexec()/fixmatch() in the remainder of the
text to skip unmatching lines, and use it when the query criteria is
simple enough (i.e. punt for an advanced grep boolean expression like
"lines that have both X and Y but not Z" for now) and we are not running
under "-v" (aka "--invert-match") option.
Note that "-L" (aka "--files-without-match") is not a reason to disable
this optimization. Under the option, we are interested if the file has
any hit at all, and that is what we determine reliably with or without the
optimization.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The -L (--files-without-match) option is supposed to show paths that
produced no matches. When running the internal grep on work tree files,
however, we had an optimization to just return on zero-sized files,
without doing anything.
This optimization doesn't matter too much in practice (a tracked empty
file must be rare, or there is something wrong with your project); to
produce results consistent with GNU grep, we should stop the optimization
and show empty files as not having the given pattern.

This splits the handle_file() function into in-core part and I/O
parts of the logic to create the preimage, so that we can compute
the conflict identifier without having to use temporary files.
Earlier, I thought the output from handle_file() should also be
refactored, but it is always about writing preimage (or thisimage)
that is used for later three-way merge, so it is saner to keep it
to always write to FILE *.

When the child process's environment is set up in start_command(), error
messages were written to wherever the parent redirected the child's stderr
channel. However, even if the parent redirected the child's stderr, errors
during this setup process, including the exec itself, are usually an
indication of a problem in the parent's environment. Therefore, the error
messages should go to the parent's stderr.
Redirection of the child's error messages is usually only used to redirect
hook error messages during client-server exchanges. In these cases, hook
setup errors could be regarded as information leak.
This patch makes a copy of stderr if necessary and uses a special
die routine that is used for all die() calls in the child that sends the
errors messages to the parent's stderr.
The trace call that reported a failed execvp is removed (because it writes
to stderr) and replaced by die_errno() with special treatment of ENOENT.
The improvement in the error message can be seen with this sequence:
mkdir .git/hooks/pre-commit
git commit
Previously, the error message was
error: cannot run .git/hooks/pre-commit: No such file or directory
and now it is
fatal: cannot exec '.git/hooks/pre-commit': Permission denied

bb1ae3f (commit: Show committer if automatic, 2008-05-04) added a logic to
check both name and email were given explicitly by the end user, but it
assumed that fmt_ident() is never called before git_default_user_config()
is called, which was fragile. The former calls setup_ident() and fills
the "default" name and email, so the check in the config parser would have
mistakenly said both are given even if only user.name was provided.
Make the logic more robust by keeping track of name and email separately.
