c4bccea2d5 Merge branch 'jh/rlimit-nofile-fallback'
When we figure out how many file descriptors to allocate for
keeping packfiles open, a system with non-working getrlimit() could
cause us to die(), but because we make this call only to get a
rough estimate of how many is available and we do not even attempt
to use up all file descriptors available ourselves, it is nicer to
fall back to a reasonable low value rather than dying.

bb3f45838b rebase: fix fork-point with zero arguments
When no arguments are specified, $switch_to is empty so we end up
passing the empty string to "git merge-base --fork-point", which causes
an error.  git-rebase carries on at this point, but in fact we have
failed to apply the fork-point operation.

It turns out that the test in t3400 that was meant to test this didn't
actually need the fork-point behaviour, so enhance it to make sure that
the fork-point is applied correctly.  The modified test fails without
the change to git-rebase.sh in this patch.

3b32a7ca90 t5537: fix incorrect expectation in test case 10
Commit 48d25ca adds a new commit "7" to the repo that the next test case
in commit 1609488 clones from. But the next test case does not expect
this commit. For these tests, it's the bottom that's important, not
the top. Fix the expected commit list.

While at it, fix the default http port number to 5537. Otherwise when
t5536 learns to test httpd, running test in parallel may fail.

happen when a submodule with a gitfile gets removed with newer git. But it
doesn't talk about what happens when the user changes between commits

2a07e4374c stash: handle specifying stashes with $IFS
When trying to pop/apply a stash specified with an argument
containing IFS whitespace, git-stash will throw an error:

    $ git stash pop 'stash@{two hours ago}'
    Too many revisions specified: stash@{two hours ago}

This happens because word splitting is used to count non-option
arguments. Make use of rev-parse's --sq option to quote the arguments
for us to ensure a correct count. Add quotes where necessary.

Also add a test that verifies correct behaviour.

832cf74c07 sha1_name: don't resolve refs when core.warnambiguousrefs is false
When seeing a full 40-hex object name, get_sha1_basic()
unconditionally checks if the string can also be interpreted as a
refname, but the result will not be used unless warn_ambiguous_refs
is in effect.

Omitting this unnecessary ref resolution provides a substantial
performance improvement, especially when passing many hashes to a
command (like "git rev-list --stdin") and core.warnambiguousrefs is
set to false.  The check incurs 6 stat()s for every hash supplied,
which can be costly over NFS.

e54c1f2d25 pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:

	$ git diff
	^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
	^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m

"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default.  Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.

Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

efa8fd7ee8 git-submodule.sh: 'checkout' is a valid update mode
'checkout' is documented as one of the valid values for the
'submodule.<name>.update' variable, and in a repository with the
variable set to 'checkout', "git submodule update" command does
update using the 'checkout' mode.

However, it has been an accident that the implementation works this
way; any unknown value would trigger the same codepath and update
using the 'checkout' mode.

Explicitly list 'checkout' as one of the known update modes, and
error out when an unknown update mode is used.

Teach the codepath that initializes the configuration variable from
an in-tree .gitmodules that 'checkout' is one of the valid values.
The code since ac1fbbda (submodule: do not copy unknown update mode
from .gitmodules, 2013-12-02) used to treat the value 'checkout' as
unknown and mapped it to 'none', which made little sense.  With this
change, 'checkout' specified in .gitmodules will stay to be 'checkout'.

18d37e860d safe_create_leading_directories(): add new error value SCLD_VANISHED
Add a new possible error result that can be returned by
safe_create_leading_directories() and
safe_create_leading_directories_const(): SCLD_VANISHED.  This value
indicates that a file or directory on the path existed at one point
(either it already existed or the function created it), but then it
disappeared.  This probably indicates that another process deleted the
directory while we were working.  If SCLD_VANISHED is returned, the
caller might want to retry the function call, as there is a chance
that a new attempt will succeed.

Why doesn't safe_create_leading_directories() do the retrying
internally?  Because an empty directory isn't really ever safe until
it holds a file.  So even if safe_create_leading_directories() were
absolutely sure that the directory existed before it returned, there
would be no guarantee that the directory still existed when the caller
tried to write something in it.

f3565c0ca5 cmd_init_db(): when creating directories, handle errors conservatively
safe_create_leading_directories_const() returns a non-zero value on
error.  The old code at this calling site recognized a couple of
particular error values, and treated all other return values as
success.  Instead, be more conservative: recognize the errors we are
interested in, but treat any other nonzero values as failures.  This
is more robust in case somebody adds another possible return value
without telling us.

bf10cf70ad safe_create_leading_directories(): split on first of multiple slashes
If the input path has multiple slashes between path components (e.g.,
"foo//bar"), then the old code was breaking the path at the last
slash, not the first one.  So in the above example, the second slash
was overwritten with NUL, resulting in the parent directory being
sought as "foo/".

When stat() is called on "foo/", it fails with ENOTDIR if "foo" exists
but is not a directory.  This caused the wrong path to be taken in the
subsequent logic.

So instead, split path components at the first intercomponent slash
rather than the last one.

10a6cc8890 fetch --prune: Run prune before fetching
When we have a remote-tracking branch named "frotz/nitfol" from a
previous fetch, and the upstream now has a branch named "frotz",
fetch would fail to remove "frotz/nitfol" with a "git fetch --prune"
from the upstream. git would inform the user to use "git remote

before the fetching operation. This way, instead of warning the user

The word 'prefix' is currently translated as 'Prefix'
which is not a German word. It should be translated as
'Präfix'.

ed7eda8b38 gc: notice gc processes run by other users
Since 64a99eb4 git gc refuses to run without the --force option if
another gc process on the same repository is already running.

However, if the repository is shared and user A runs git gc on the
repository and while that gc is still running user B runs git gc on
the same repository the gc process run by user A will not be noticed
and the gc run by user B will go ahead and run.

The problem is that the kill(pid, 0) test fails with an EPERM error
since user B is not allowed to signal processes owned by user A
(unless user B is root).

Update the test to recognize an EPERM error as meaning the process
exists and another gc should not be run (unless --force is given).

738a8beac4 t0000: drop "known breakage" test
Having a simulated "known breakage" test means that the test
suite will always tell us there is a bug to be fixed, even
though it is only simulated.

The right way to test this is in a sub-test, that can also
check that we provide the correct exit status and output.
Fortunately, we already have such a test (added much later
by 5ebf89e).

We could arguably get rid of the simulated success test
immediately above, as well, as it is also redundant with the
tests added in 5ebf89e. However, it does not have the
annoying behavior of the "known breakage" test. It may also
be easier to debug if the test suite is truly broken, since
it is not a test-within-a-test, as the later tests are.

a63c12c9be t0000: simplify HARNESS_ACTIVE hack
Commit 517cd55 set HARNESS_ACTIVE unconditionally in
sub-tests, because that value affects the output of
"--verbose". t0000 needs stable output from its sub-tests,
and we may or may not be running under a TAP harness.

That commit made the decision to always set the variable,
since it has another useful side effect, which is
suppressing writes to t/test-results by the sub-tests (which
would just pollute the real results).

Since the last commit, though, the sub-tests have their own
test-results directories, so this is no longer an issue. We
can now update a few comments that are no longer accurate
nor necessary.

We can also revisit the choice of HARNESS_ACTIVE. Since we
must choose one value for stability, it's probably saner to
have it off. This means that future patches could test
things like the test-results writing, or the "--quiet"
option, which is currently ignored when run under a harness.

6883047071 t0000: set TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY for sub-tests
Running t0000 produces more trash directories than expected and does
not clean up after itself:

    $ ./t0000-basic.sh
    [...]
    $ ls -d trash\ directory.*
    trash directory.failing-cleanup
    trash directory.mixed-results1
    trash directory.mixed-results2
    trash directory.partial-pass
    trash directory.test-verbose
    trash directory.test-verbose-only-2

These scratch areas for sub-tests should be under the t0000 trash
directory, but because TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY defaults to
TEST_DIRECTORY, which is exported to help sub-tests find
test-lib.sh, the sub-test trash directories are created under the
toplevel t/ directory instead.  Because some of the sub-tests
simulate failures, their trash directories are kept around.

Fix it by explicitly setting TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY appropriately for
sub-tests.

An alternative fix would be to pass the --root parameter that only
specifies where to put the trash directories, which would also work.
However, using TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is more futureproof in case
tests want to write more output in addition to the test-results/
(which are already suppressed in sub-tests using the HARNESS_ACTIVE
setting) and trash directories.

This fixes a regression introduced by 38b074d (t/test-lib.sh: fix
TRASH_DIRECTORY handling, 2013-04-14).  Before that commit, the
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY setting was not respected consistently so most
tests did their work in a "trash" subdirectory of the current
directory instead of the output dir.

afbf5ca507 use distinct username/password for http auth tests
The httpd server we set up to test git's http client code
knows about a single account, in which both the username and
password are "user@host" (the unusual use of the "@" here is
to verify that we handle the character correctly when URL
escaped).

This means that we may miss a certain class of errors in
which the username and password are mixed up internally by
git. We can make our tests more robust by having distinct
values for the username and password.

In addition to tweaking the server passwd file and the
client URL, we must teach the "askpass" harness to accept
multiple values. As a bonus, this makes the setup of some
tests more obvious; when we are expecting git to ask
only about the password, we can seed the username askpass
response with a bogus value.

e1c1a324fc Revert "prompt: clean up strbuf usage"
This reverts commit 31b49d9b65.

That commit taught do_askpass to hand ownership of our
buffer back to the caller rather than simply return a
pointer into our internal strbuf.  What it failed to notice,
though, was that our internal strbuf is static, because we
are trying to emulate the getpass() interface.

By handing off ownership, we created a memory leak that
cannot be solved. Sometimes git_prompt returns a static
buffer from getpass() (or our smarter git_terminal_prompt
wrapper), and sometimes it returns an allocated string from
do_askpass.
