108da0db12 git add: Add the "--ignore-missing" option for the dry run
Sometimes it is useful to know if a file or directory will be ignored
before it is added to the work tree. An example is "git submodule add",
where it would be really nice to be able to fail with an appropriate
error message before the submodule is cloned and checked out.

bcefed419a t3000 (ls-files -o): modernize style
This script is part of the second batch of tests, from the same day
the test infrastructure was added to git.  Update it to use a more
modern style in the spirit of v1.6.4-rc0~45^2~2 (2009-05-22).
In particular:

 - Put setup code inside test assertions, to avoid unexpected
   breakages and avoid stray output without -v (as t/README
   recommends); and

 - Put the test title on the same line as the "test_expect_success",
   and end the line with a single-quote to begin the body of the test
   which is one multi-line string.

When --graph is in effect, the line-prefix typically has colored graph
line segments and ends with reset.  The color sequence "set" given to
this function is for showing the metainfo part of the patch text and
(1) it should not be applied to the graph lines, and (2) it will be
reset at the end of line_prefix so it won't be in effect anyway.

b1f47514f2 Fix "read-tree -m A B" priming the cache-tree
In 456156d a shortcut to priming the index tree reference was
introduced, but the justification for it was completely bogus.

"read-tree -m A B" is to take the index (and the working tree)
that is largely based on (but does not have to match exactly) A
and update it to B, while carrying the local change that does
not overlap the difference between A and B, so there is no reason
to expect that the resulting index should match the tree B.

4ded69169b Reorganize `git-log' man page to clarify common diff options.
This will reduce considerably the common confusion where people miss the
`--follow' option, and wonder why `-M'/`-C' is not working.

* Move the diff options include to after the log-specific flags, and add
  a "Common diff options" subtitle before them.  (These options apply
  only when patches are shown, which is not a common use case among
  newbies, so having them first is confusing.)

* Move the `--follow' description to the top of the listed options.  The
  options before that seem less important: `--full-diff' applies only
  when patches are shown, `--source' and `--decorate' are less useful
  with many common commit specifications.

* Clarify that `--follow' works only for a single path argument.

4ecb79386d t9118 (git-svn): prevent early failure from taking down later tests
When test #2 fails, the cwd is project/, causing all the
remaining tests in the same script to get confused and fail.

So in the spirit of v1.7.1.1~53^2~10 (t5550-http-fetch: Use subshell
for repository operations, 2010-04-17), use a subshell for svn
working copy operations.  This way, the cwd will reliably return
to the top of the trash directory and later tests can still be run
when a command has failed.

if stdout is a terminal, the grep machinery will output the color

765c22588d fix git branch -m in presence of cross devices
When you have for example a bare repository stored on NFS, and that you
create new workdirs locally (using contrib's git-new-workdir), logs/refs
is a symlink to a different device. Hence when the reflogs are renamed,
all must happen below logs/refs or one gets cross device rename errors
like:

  git branch -m foo
  error: unable to move logfile logs/refs/heads/master to tmp-renamed-log: Invalid cross-device link
  fatal: Branch rename failed

The fix is hence to use logs/refs/.tmp-renamed-log as a temporary log
name, instead of just tmp-renamed-log.

49a43f5468 Makefile: work around ksh's failure to handle missing list argument to for loop
ksh does not like it when the list argument is missing in a 'for' loop.
This can happen when NO_CURL is set which causes REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES to be
unset.  In this case, the 'for' loop in the Makefile is expanded to look
like this:

   for p in ; do

and ksh complains like this:

   /bin/ksh: syntax error at line 15 : `;' unexpected

The existing attempt to work around this issue, introduced by 70b89f87,
tried to protect the 'for' loop by first testing whether REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES
was empty, but this does not work since, as Johannes Sixt explains, "Before
the test for emptyness can happen, the complete statement must be parsed,
but ksh finds a syntax error in the statement and, therefore, cannot even
begin to execute the statement. (ksh doesn't follow POSIX in this regard,
where this would not be a syntax error.)".

Make's $(foreach) function could be used to avoid this shell glitch, but
since it has already caused a problem once before by generating a command
line that exceeded the maximum argument list length on IRIX, let's adopt
Bruce Stephens's suggestion for working around this issue in the same way
the OpenSSL folks have done it.  This solution first assigns the contents
of the REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES make variable to a shell variable and then
supplies the shell variable as the list argument in the 'for' loop.  This
satisfies ksh and has the expected behavior even if $(REMOTE_CURL_ALIASES)
is empty.

b4cf0f1784 xdiff: optimise for no whitespace difference when ignoring whitespace.
In xdl_recmatch, do the memcmp to check if the two lines are equal before
checking if whitespace flags are set.  If the lines are identical, then
there is no need to check if they differ only in whitespace.
This makes the common case (there is no whitespace difference) faster.
It costs the case where lines are the same length and contain
whitespace differences, but the common case is more than 20% faster.

869d58813b gitweb: Move evaluate_gitweb_config out of run_request
Move evaluate_gitweb_config() and evaluate_git_version() out of
run_request() to run(), making them not run one for each request.
This changes how git behaves in FastCGI case.

This change makes it impossible to have config which changes with
request, but I don't think anyone relied on such (hidden action)
behavior.

While at it, reset timer and number of git commands at beginning of
run_request() in new reset_timer() subroutine.  This fixes case when
gitweb was run using FastCGI interface: time is reported for request,
and not for single run of gitweb script.  This changes slightly
behavior in non-FastCGI case: the number of git commands reported is
1 less (running `git --version` one per gitweb is not counted now).

9ba0f0334d parse_date: fix signedness in timezone calculation
When no timezone is specified, we deduce the offset by
subtracting the result of mktime from our calculated
timestamp.

However, our timestamp is stored as an unsigned integer,
meaning we perform the subtraction as unsigned. For a
negative offset, this means we wrap to a very high number,
and our numeric timezone is in the millions of hours. You
can see this bug by doing:

   $ TZ=EST \
     GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='2010-06-01 10:00' \
     git commit -a -m foo
   $ git cat-file -p HEAD | grep author
   author Jeff King <peff@peff.net> 1275404416 +119304128

Instead, we should perform this subtraction as a time_t, the
same type that mktime returns.

into hlagh, but it'll die right afterwards when it fails to add the
new path:

    The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
    hlagh
    Use -f if you really want to add them.
    fatal: no files added
    Failed to add submodule 'hlagh'

Currently there's no way to add a submodule in this situation other
than to remove the ignored path from the .gitignore while I'm at it.

That's silly, when you run `git submodule add' you're explicitly
saying that you want to add something *new* to the repository. Instead
it should just add the path with `git add --force'.

Initially I implemented this by adding new -f and --force options to
`git submodule add'. But if the --force option isn't supplied it'll
get as far as cloning `hlagh', but won't add it.

So the first thing the user has to do is to remove `hlagh' and then
try again with the --force option.

That sucks, it should just add the path to begin with. I can't think
of any usecase where you've gone through the trouble of typing out
`git submodule add ..', but wish to be overriden by a `gitignore'. The
submodule semantics should be more like `git init', not `git add'.

20873f45e7 t/README: Document the do's and don'ts of tests
Add a "Do's, don'ts & things to keep in mind" subsection to the
"Writing Tests" documentation. Much of this is based on Junio C
Hamano's "Test your stuff" section in
<7vhbkj2kcr.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org>.

I turned it into a list of do's and don'ts to make it easier to skim
it, and integrated my note that a TAP harness will get confused if you
print "ok" or "not ok" at the beginning of a line.

Thad had to be fixed in 335f87871f when
TAP support was introduced.
