31fd8d72f2 tag: do not show non-tag contents with "-n"
"git tag -n" did not check the type of the object it is reading the top n
lines from. At least, avoid showing the beginning of trees and blobs when
dealing with lightweight tags that point at them.

As the payload of a tag and a commit look similar in that they both start
with a header block, which is skipped for the purpose of "-n" output,
followed by human readable text, allow the message of commit objects to be
shown just like the contents of tag objects. This avoids regression for
people who have been using "tag -n" to show the log messages of commits
that are pointed at by lightweight tags.

Test script is from Jeff King.

3f6d56de5f commit: ignore intent-to-add entries instead of refusing
Originally, "git add -N" was introduced to help users from forgetting to
add new files to the index before they ran "git commit -a".  As an attempt
to help them further so that they do not forget to say "-a", "git commit"
to commit the index as-is was taught to error out, reminding the user that
they may have forgotten to add the final contents of the paths before
running the command.

This turned out to be a false "safety" that is useless.  If the user made
changes to already tracked paths and paths added with "git add -N", and
then ran "git add" to register the final contents of the paths added with
"git add -N", "git commit" will happily create a commit out of the index,
without including the local changes made to the already tracked paths. It
was not a useful "safety" measure to prevent "forgetful" mistakes from
happening.

It turns out that this behaviour is not just a useless false "safety", but
actively hurts use cases of "git add -N" that were discovered later and
have become popular, namely, to tell Git to be aware of these paths added
by "git add -N", so that commands like "git status" and "git diff" would
include them in their output, even though the user is not interested in
including them in the next commit they are going to make.

Fix this ancient UI mistake, and instead make a commit from the index
ignoring the paths added by "git add -N" without adding real contents.

Based on the work by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy, and helped by injection of
sanity from Jonathan Nieder and others on the Git mailing list.

701825de23 add -e: do not show difference in a submodule that is merely dirty
When the HEAD of the submodule matches what is recorded in the index of
the superproject, and it has local changes or untracked files, the patch
offered by "git add -e" for editing shows a diff like this:

    diff --git a/submodule b/submodule
    <header>
    -deadbeef...
    +deadbeef...-dirty

Because applying such a patch has no effect to the index, this is a
useless noise.  Generate the patch with IGNORE_DIRTY_SUBMODULES flag to
prevent such a change from getting reported.

This patch also loses the "-dirty" suffix from the output when the HEAD of
the submodule is different from what is in the index of the superproject.
As such dirtiness expressed by the suffix does not affect the result of
the patch application at all, there is no information lost if we remove
it. The user could still run "git status" before "git add -e" if s/he
cares about the dirtiness.

abe199808c git checkout -b: allow switching out of an unborn branch
Running "git checkout -b another" immediately after "git init" when you do
not even have a commit on 'master' fails with:

    $ git checkout -b another
    fatal: You are on a branch yet to be born

This is unnecessary, if we redefine "git checkout -b $name" that does not

cf0ff02a38 completion: work around zsh option propagation bug
When listing commands in zsh (git <TAB><TAB>), all of them will show up,
instead of only porcelain ones.

The root cause of this is because zsh versions from 4.3.0 to present
(4.3.15) do not correctly propagate the SH_WORD_SPLIT option into the
subshell in ${foo:=$(bar)} expressions. Because of this bug, the list of
all commands was treated as a single word in __git_list_porcelain_commands
and did not match any of the patterns that would usually cause plumbing to
be excluded.

With problematic versions of zsh, after running

	emulate sh
	fn () {
		var='one two'
		for v in $var; do echo $v; done
	}
	x=$(fn)
	: ${y=$(fn)}

printing "$x" results in two lines as expected, but printing "$y" results
in a single line because $var is expanded as a single word when evaluating
fn to compute y.

So avoid the construct, and use an explicit 'test -n "$foo" || foo=$(bar)'
instead.

f026358ef2 mailmap: always return a plain mail address from map_user()
The callers of map_user() give email and name to it, and expect to get the
up-to-date email and/or name to be used in their output. The function
rewrites the given buffers in place. To optimize the majority of cases,
the function returns 0 when it did not do anything, and it returns 1 when
the caller should use the updated contents.

The 'email' input to the function is terminated by '>' or a NUL (whichever
comes first) for historical reasons, but when a rewrite happens, the value
is replaced with the mailbox inside the <> pair.  However, it failed to
meet this expectation when it only rewrote the name part without rewriting
the email part, and the email in the input was terminated by '>'.

This causes an extra '>' to appear in the output of "blame -e", because the
caller does send in '>'-terminated email, and when the function returned 1
to tell it that rewriting happened, it appends '>' that is necessary when
the email part was rewritten.

The patch looks bigger than it actually is, because this change makes a
variable that points at the end of the email part in the input 'p' live
much longer than it used to, deserving a more descriptive name.

33e42de0d2 fsck: give accurate error message on empty loose object files
Since 3ba7a06552 (A loose object is not corrupt if it
cannot be read due to EMFILE), "git fsck" on a repository with an empty
loose object file complains with the error message

  fatal: failed to read object <sha1>: Invalid argument

This comes from a failure of mmap on this empty file, which sets errno to
EINVAL. Instead of calling xmmap on empty file, we display a clean error
message ourselves, and return a NULL pointer. The new message is

  error: object file .git/objects/09/<rest-of-sha1> is empty
  fatal: loose object <sha1> (stored in .git/objects/09/<rest-of-sha1>) is corrupt

fb630e048c tag: die when listing missing or corrupt objects
We don't usually bother looking at tagged objects at all
when listing. However, if "-n" is specified, we open the
objects to read the annotations of the tags.  If we fail to
read an object, or if the object has zero length, we simply
silently return.

The first case is an indication of a broken or corrupt repo,
and we should notify the user of the error.

The second case is OK to silently ignore; however, the
existing code leaked the buffer returned by read_sha1_file.

ca51699961 tag: fix output of "tag -n" when errors occur
When "git tag" is instructed to print lines from annotated
tags via "-n", it first prints the tag name, then attempts
to parse and print the lines of the tag object, and then
finally adds a trailing newline.

If an error occurs, we return early from the function and
never print the newline, screwing up the output for the next
tag. Let's factor the line-printing into its own function so
we can manage the early returns better, and make sure that
we always terminate the line.

f2d713fc3e Fix build problems related to profile-directed optimization
There was a number of problems I ran into when trying the
profile-directed optimizations added by Andi Kleen in git commit
7ddc2710b9.  (This was using gcc 4.4 found on many enterprise
distros.)

1) The -fprofile-generate and -fprofile-use commands are incompatible
with ccache; the code ends up looking in the wrong place for the gcda
files based on the ccache object names.

2) If the makefile notices that CFLAGS are different, it will rebuild
all of the binaries.  Hence the recipe originally specified by the
INSTALL file ("make profile-all" followed by "make install") doesn't
work.  It will appear to work, but the binaries will end up getting
built with no optimization.

This patch fixes this by using an explicit set of options passed via
the PROFILE variable then using this to directly manipulate CFLAGS and
EXTLIBS.

The developer can run "make PROFILE=BUILD all ; sudo make
PROFILE=BUILD install" automatically run a two-pass build with the
test suite run in between as the sample workload for the purpose of
recording profiling information to do the profile-directed
optimization.

Alternatively, the profiling version of binaries can be built using:

	make PROFILE=GEN PROFILE_DIR=/var/cache/profile all
	make PROFILE=GEN install

and then after git has been used for a while, the optimized version of
the binary can be built as follows:

	make PROFILE=USE PROFILE_DIR=/var/cache/profile all
	make PROFILE=USE install

c2d17ba3db branch --edit-description: protect against mistyped branch name
It is very easy to mistype the branch name when editing its description,
e.g.

	$ git checkout -b my-topic master
	: work work work
	: now we are at a good point to switch working something else
	$ git checkout master
	: ah, let's write it down before we forget what we were doing
	$ git branch --edit-description my-tpoic

The command does not notice that branch 'my-tpoic' does not exist.  It is
not lost (it becomes description of an unborn my-tpoic branch), but is not
very useful.  So detect such a case and error out to reduce the grief
factor from this common mistake.

This incidentally also errors out --edit-description when the HEAD points
at an unborn branch (immediately after "init", or "checkout --orphan"),
because at that point, you do not even have any commit that is part of
your history and there is no point in describing how this particular
branch is different from the branch it forked off of, which is the useful
bit of information the branch description is designed to capture.

We may want to special case the unborn case later, but that is outside the
scope of this patch to prevent more common mistakes before 1.7.9 series
gains too much widespread use.

b5c9f1c1b0 merge: do not create a signed tag merge under --ff-only option
Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge"
always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that
happens to be a descendant of your current commit.

Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to
make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be
possible to say:

	$ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30
        $ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9

and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka
the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with:

	fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.

because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by
fast forwarding.

We could teach users that now they have to do

	$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0

but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves.

When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag,
even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the
integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be
asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore,
this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted
to add.

2c733fb24c parse_date(): '@' prefix forces git-timestamp
The only place that the issue this series addresses was observed
where we read "cat-file commit" output and put it in GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
in order to replay a commit with an ancient timestamp.

With the previous patch alone, "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'"
can be misinterpreted to mean an ancient timestamp, not September in
year 2010.  Guard this codepath by requring an extra '@' in front of
the raw git timestamp on the parsing side. This of course needs to
be compensated by updating get_author_ident_from_commit and the code
for "git commit --amend" to prepend '@' to the string read from the
existing commit in the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE environment variable.

116eb3abfe parse_date(): allow ancient git-timestamp
The date-time parser parses out a human-readble datestring piece by
piece, so that it could even parse a string in a rather strange
notation like 'noon november 11, 2005', but restricts itself from
parsing strings in "<seconds since epoch> <timezone>" format only
for reasonably new timestamps (like 1974 or newer) with 10 or more
digits. This is to prevent a string like "20100917" from getting
interpreted as seconds since epoch (we want to treat it as September
17, 2010 instead) while doing so.

The same codepath is used to read back the timestamp that we have
already recorded in the headers of commit and tag objects; because
of this, such a commit with timestamp "0 +0000" cannot be rebased or
amended very easily.

Teach parse_date() codepath to special case a string of the form
"<digits> +<4-digits>" to work this issue around, but require that
there is no other cruft around the string when parsing a timestamp
of this format for safety.

Note that this has a slight backward incompatibility implications.

If somebody writes "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'" and wants it
to mean a timestamp in September 2010 in Japan, this change will
break such a use case.

840c519d7e tests: add write_script helper function
Many of the scripts in the test suite write small helper
shell scripts to disk. It's best if these shell scripts
start with "#!$SHELL_PATH" rather than "#!/bin/sh", because
/bin/sh on some platforms is too buggy to be used.

However, it can be cumbersome to expand $SHELL_PATH, because
the usual recipe for writing a script is:

	cat >foo.sh <<-\EOF
	#!/bin/sh
	echo my arguments are "$@"
	EOF

To expand $SHELL_PATH, you have to either interpolate the
here-doc (which would require quoting "\$@"), or split the
creation into two commands (interpolating the $SHELL_PATH
line, but not the rest of the script). Let's provide a
helper function that makes that less syntactically painful.

While we're at it, this helper can also take care of the
"chmod +x" that typically comes after the creation of such a
script, saving the caller a line.

84d72733fc prompt: fall back to terminal if askpass fails
The current askpass code simply dies if calling an askpass
helper fails. Worse, in some failure modes it doesn't even
print an error (if start_command fails, then it prints its
own error; if reading fails, we print an error; but if the
command exits non-zero, finish_command fails and we print
nothing!).

Let's be more kind to the user by printing an error message
when askpass doesn't work out, and then falling back to the
terminal (which also may fail, of course, but we die already
there with a nice message).

While we're at it, let's clean up the existing error
messages a bit.  Now that our prompts are very long and
contain quotes and colons themselves, our error messages are
hard to read.

So the new failure modes look like:

  $ echo $?
  128

  [before, with no terminal, and we must give up]
  $ setsid git push

query parameter is not processed explicitly as UTF-8 encoded string.

The solution used here follows "Using Unicode in a Perl CGI script"
article on http://www.lemoda.net/cgi/perl-unicode/index.html:

	use CGI;
	use Encode 'decode_utf8;
	my $value = params('input');
	$value = decode_utf8($value);

Decoding UTF-8 is done when filling %input_params hash and $path_info
variable; the former requires to move from explicit $cgi->param(<label>)
to $input_params{<name>} in a few places, which is a good idea anyway.

Also add -override=>1 parameter to $cgi->textfield() invocation in search
form.  Otherwise CGI would use values from query string if it is present,
filling value from $cgi->param... without decode_utf8().  As we are using
value of appropriate parameter anyway, -override=>1 doesn't change the
situation but makes gitweb fill search field correctly.

We could simply use the '-utf8' pragma (via "use CGI '-utf8';") to solve
this, but according to CGI.pm documentation, it may cause problems with
POST requests containing binary files, and it requires CGI 3.31 (I think),
released with perl v5.8.9.

9dd5245c10 grep: pre-load userdiff drivers when threaded
The low-level grep_source code will automatically load the
userdiff driver to see whether a file is binary. However,
when we are threaded, it will load the drivers in a
non-deterministic order, handling each one as its assigned
thread happens to be scheduled.

Meanwhile, the attribute lookup code (which underlies the
userdiff driver lookup) is optimized to handle paths in
sequential order (because they tend to share the same
gitattributes files). Multi-threading the lookups destroys
the locality and makes this optimization less effective.

We can fix this by pre-loading the userdiff driver in the
main thread, before we hand off the file to a worker thread.
My best-of-five for "git grep foo" on the linux-2.6
repository went from:

  real    0m0.391s
  user    0m1.708s
  sys     0m0.584s

to:

  real    0m0.360s
  user    0m1.576s
  sys     0m0.572s

Not a huge speedup, but it's quite easy to do. The only
trick is that we shouldn't perform this optimization if "-a"
was used, in which case we won't bother checking whether
the files are binary at all.

08265798e1 grep: load file data after checking binary-ness
Usually we load each file to grep into memory, check whether
it's binary, and then either grep it (the default) or not
(if "-I" was given).

In the "-I" case, we can skip loading the file entirely if
it is marked as binary via gitattributes. On my giant
3-gigabyte media repository, doing "git grep -I foo" went
from:

  real    0m0.712s
  user    0m0.044s
  sys     0m4.780s

to:

  real    0m0.026s
  user    0m0.016s
  sys     0m0.020s

Obviously this is an extreme example. The repo is almost
entirely binary files, and you can see that we spent all of
our time asking the kernel to read() the data. However, with
a cold disk cache, even avoiding a few binary files can have
an impact.

41b59bfcb1 grep: respect diff attributes for binary-ness
There is currently no way for users to tell git-grep that a
particular path is or is not a binary file; instead, grep
always relies on its auto-detection (or the user specifying
"-a" to treat all binary-looking files like text).

This patch teaches git-grep to use the same attribute lookup
that is used by git-diff. We could add a new "grep" flag,
but that is unnecessarily complex and unlikely to be useful.
Despite the name, the "-diff" attribute (or "diff=foo" and
the associated diff.foo.binary config option) are really
about describing the contents of the path. It's simply
historical that diff was the only thing that cared about
these attributes in the past.

And if this simple approach turns out to be insufficient, we
still have a backwards-compatible path forward: we can add a
separate "grep" attribute, and fall back to respecting
"diff" if it is unset.

94ad9d9e07 grep: cache userdiff_driver in grep_source
Right now, grep only uses the userdiff_driver for one thing:
looking up funcname patterns for "-p" and "-W".  As new uses
for userdiff drivers are added to the grep code, we want to
minimize attribute lookups, which can be expensive.

It might seem at first that this would also optimize multiple
lookups when the funcname pattern for a file is needed
multiple times. However, the compiled funcname pattern is
already cached in struct grep_opt's "priv" member, so
multiple lookups are already suppressed.

c876d6da88 grep: drop grep_buffer's "name" parameter
Before the grep_source interface existed, grep_buffer was
used by two types of callers:

  1. Ones which pulled a file into a buffer, and then wanted
     to supply the file's name for the output (i.e.,
     git grep).

  2. Ones which really just wanted to grep a buffer (i.e.,
     git log --grep).

Callers in set (1) should now be using grep_source. Callers
in set (2) always pass NULL for the "name" parameter of
grep_buffer. We can therefore get rid of this now-useless
parameter.

8f24a6323e convert git-grep to use grep_source interface
The grep_source interface (as opposed to grep_buffer) will
eventually gives us a richer interface for telling the
low-level grep code about our buffers. Eventually this will
lead to things like better binary-file handling. For now, it
lets us drop a lot of now-redundant code.

The conversion is mostly straight-forward. One thing to note
is that the memory ownership rules for "struct grep_source"
are different than the "struct work_item" found here (the
former will copy things like the filename, rather than
taking ownership). Therefore you will also see some slight
tweaking of when filename buffers are released.

e1327023ea grep: refactor the concept of "grep source" into an object
The main interface to the low-level grep code is
grep_buffer, which takes a pointer to a buffer and a size.
This is convenient and flexible (we use it to grep commit
bodies, files on disk, and blobs by sha1), but it makes it
hard to pass extra information about what we are grepping
(either for correctness, like overriding binary
auto-detection, or for optimizations, like lazily loading
blob contents).

Instead, let's encapsulate the idea of a "grep source",
including the buffer, its size, and where the data is coming
from. This is similar to the diff_filespec structure used by
the diff code (unsurprising, since future patches will
implement some of the same optimizations found there).

The diffstat is slightly scarier than the actual patch
content. Most of the modified lines are simply replacing
access to raw variables with their counterparts that are now
in a "struct grep_source". Most of the added lines were
taken from builtin/grep.c, which partially abstracted the
idea of grep sources (for file vs sha1 sources).

Instead of dropping the now-redundant code, this patch
leaves builtin/grep.c using the traditional grep_buffer
interface (which now wraps the grep_source interface). That
makes it easy to test that there is no change of behavior
(yet).

b3aeb285d0 grep: move sha1-reading mutex into low-level code
The multi-threaded git-grep code needs to serialize access
to the thread-unsafe read_sha1_file call. It does this with
a mutex that is local to builtin/grep.c.

Let's instead push this down into grep.c, where it can be
used by both builtin/grep.c and grep.c. This will let us
safely teach the low-level grep.c code tricks that involve
reading from the object db.

78db6ea9dc grep: make locking flag global
The low-level grep code traditionally didn't care about
threading, as it doesn't do any threading itself and didn't
call out to other non-thread-safe code.  That changed with
0579f91 (grep: enable threading with -p and -W using lazy
attribute lookup, 2011-12-12), which pushed the lookup of
funcname attributes (which is not thread-safe) into the
low-level grep code.

As a result, the low-level code learned about a new global
"grep_attr_mutex" to serialize access to the attribute code.
A multi-threaded caller (e.g., builtin/grep.c) is expected
to initialize the mutex and set "use_threads" in the
grep_opt structure. The low-level code only uses the lock if
use_threads is set.

However, putting the use_threads flag into the grep_opt
struct is not the most logical place. Whether threading is
in use is not something that matters for each call to
grep_buffer, but is instead global to the whole program
(i.e., if any thread is doing multi-threaded grep, every
other thread, even if it thinks it is doing its own
single-threaded grep, would need to use the locking).  In
practice, this distinction isn't a problem for us, because
the only user of multi-threaded grep is "git-grep", which
does nothing except call grep.

This patch turns the opt->use_threads flag into a global
flag. More important than the nit-picking semantic argument
above is that this means that the locking functions don't
need to actually have access to a grep_opt to know whether
to lock. Which in turn can make adding new locks simpler, as
we don't need to pass around a grep_opt.

c01f51cc75 find_pack_entry(): do not keep packed_git pointer locally
Commit f7c22cc (always start looking up objects in the last used pack
first - 2007-05-30) introduce a static packed_git* pointer as an
optimization.  The kept pointer however may become invalid if
free_pack_by_name() happens to free that particular pack.

Current code base does not access packs after calling
free_pack_by_name() so it should not be a problem. Anyway, move the
pointer out so that free_pack_by_name() can reset it to avoid running
into troubles in future.

2ad9ba0382 request-pull: explicitly ask tags/$name to be pulled
When asking for a tag to be pulled, disambiguate by leaving tags/ prefix
in front of the name of the tag. E.g.

    ... in the git repository at:

      git://example.com/git/git.git/ tags/v1.2.3

    for you to fetch changes up to 123456...

This way, older versions of "git pull" can be used to respond to such a
request more easily, as "git pull $URL v1.2.3" did not DWIM to fetch
v1.2.3 tag in older versions. Also this makes it clearer for humans that
the pull request is made for a tag and he should anticipate a signed one.
