To unset a variable, just specify its name, without "=". For example:
const char *env[] = {"GIT_DIR=.git", "PWD", NULL};
const char *argv[] = {"git-ls-files", "-s", NULL};
int err = run_command_v_opt_cd_env(argv, RUN_GIT_CMD, ".", env);
The PWD will be unset before executing git-ls-files.

It can make code simplier (no need to preserve cwd) and safer
(no chance the cwd of the current process is accidentally forgotten).

Some run-command callers may wish to just discard any data that
is sent to stdout from the child. This is a lot like our existing
no_stdin support, we just open /dev/null and duplicate the descriptor
into position.

Some potential callers of the run_command family of functions need
to control not only the stdin redirection of the child, but also
the stdout redirection of the child. This can now be setup much
like the already existing stdin redirection.

I started hacking on a change to add stdout redirection support to
the run_command family, but found I was using a lot of close calls
on two pipes in an array (such as for pipe). So I'm doing a tiny
bit of refactoring first to make the next set of changes clearer.

Sometimes callers trying to use run_command to execute a child
process will want to setup a pipe or file descriptor to redirect
into the child's stdin.
This idea is completely stolen from builtin-bundle's fork_with_pipe,
written by Johannes Schindelin. All credit (and blame) should lie
with Dscho. ;-)

If the calling process wants to send data to stdin of a
child process it will need to arrange for a pipe and get
the child process running, feed data to it, then wait
for the child process to finish. So we split the run
function into two halves, allowing callers to first
start the child then later finish it.

There are a number of places where we do some variation of
fork()+exec() but we also need to setup redirection in the process,
much like what run_command does for us already with its option flags.
It would be nice to reuse more of the run_command logic, especially
as that non-fork API helps us to port to odd platforms like Win32.

Currently the update hook invoked by receive-pack has its stdin
connected to the pushing client. The hook shouldn't attempt to
read from this stream, and doing so may consume data that was
meant for receive-pack. Instead we should give the update hook
/dev/null as its stdin, ensuring that it always receives EOF and
doesn't disrupt the protocol if it attempts to read any data.
The post-update hook is similar, as it gets invoked with /dev/null
on stdin to prevent the hook from reading data from the client.
Previously we had invoked it with stdout also connected to /dev/null,
throwing away anything on stdout, to prevent client protocol errors.
Instead we should redirect stdout to stderr, like we do with the
update hook.

If an update hook outputs to stdout then that output will be sent
back over the wire to the push client as though it were part of
the git protocol. This tends to cause protocol errors on the
client end of the connection, as the hook output is not expected
in that context. Most hook developers work around this by making
sure their hook outputs everything to stderr.
But hooks shouldn't need to perform such special behavior. Instead
we can just dup stderr to stdout prior to invoking the update hook.

The argc parameter is never used by the run_command_v family of
functions. Instead they require that the passed argv[] be NULL
terminated so they can rely on the operating system's execvp
function to correctly pass the arguments to the new process.
Making the caller pass the argc is just confusing, as the caller
could be mislead into believing that the argc might take precendece
over the argv, or that the argv does not need to be NULL terminated.
So goodbye argc. Don't come back.

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

Mark Wooding noticed there was a type mismatch warning in git.c; this
patch does things slightly differently (mostly tightening const) and

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.
- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
the following directories:
1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
invoke "git-foo" commands.
Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

The earlier one conflated update and post-update hooks for no
good reason. Correct that ugly hack. Now post-update hooks
will take the list of successfully updated refs.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Just before updating a ref,
$GIT_DIR/hooks/update refname old-sha1 new-sha1
is called if executable. The hook can decline the ref to be
updated by exiting with a non-zero status, or allow it to be
updated by exiting with a zero status. The mechanism also
allows e.g sending of a mail with pushed commits on the remote
repository.
Documentation update with an example hook is included.
jc: The credits of the basic idea and initial implementation go
to Josef, but I ended up rewriting major parts of his patch, so
bugs are all mine. Also I changed the semantics for the hook
from his original version (which were post-update hook) so that
the hook can optionally decline to update the ref, and also can
be used to implement the overall cleanups. The latter was
primarily to implement a suggestion from Linus that calling
update-server-info should be made optional.
