When "git checkout-index" checks out path A/B/C, it makes sure A
and A/B are truly directories; if there is a regular file or
symlink at A, we prefer to remove it.
We used to do this by catching an error return from mkdir(2),
and on EEXIST did unlink(2), and when it succeeded, tried
another mkdir(2).
Thomas Glanzmann found out the above does not work on Solaris
for a root user, as unlink(2) was so old fashioned there that it
allowed to unlink a directory.
As pointed out, this still doesn't guarantee that git won't call
"unlink()" on a directory (race conditions etc), but that's
fundamentally true (there is no "funlink()" like there is
"fstat()"), and besides, that is in no way git-specific (ie it's
true of any application that gets run as root).

Earlier in 16a4c61, we taught "read-tree -m -u" not to be
confused when switching from a branch that has a path frotz/filfre
to another branch that has a symlink frotz that points at xyzzy/
directory. The fix was incomplete in that it was still confused
when coming back (i.e. switching from a branch with frotz -> xyzzy/
to another branch with frotz/filfre).
This fix is rather expensive in that for a path that is created
we would need to see if any of the leading component of that
path exists as a symbolic link in the filesystem (in which case,
we know that path itself does not exist, and the fact we already
decided to check it out tells us that in the index we already
know that symbolic link is going away as there is no D/F
conflict).

Johannes originally submitted a patch to this section of commit.tcl
to use `git rev-parse $PARENT:`, but not all versions of Git will
accept that format. So I'm just taking the really simple approach
here of scanning the first line of the commit to grab its tree.

Our file browser was showing bad output as it did not properly buffer
a partial record when read from `ls-tree -z`. This did not show up on
my Mac OS X system as most trees are small, the pipe buffers generally
big and `ls-tree -z` was generally fast enough that all data was ready
before Tcl started to read. However on my Cygwin system one of my
production repositories had a large enough tree and packfile that it
took a couple of pipe buffers for `ls-tree -z` to complete its dump.

Our blame viewer only grabbed the first initial of the git.git

the single quote as the start of the next name and did not like
this character as it was not an uppercase letter.
We now skip over single quoted nicknames placed within the author

allowing the user to create a shortcut file which has no file

Pushing changes to a remote system is a very common action for
many users of git-gui, so much so that in some workflows a user
is supposed to push immediately after they make a local commit
so that their change(s) are immediately available for their

Including the push button right below the commit button on the

action after they have performed the commit action.

There is no restriction on the length of the name returned by
get_object_directory, other than the fact that it must be a stat'able
git object directory. That means its name may have length up to
PATH_MAX-1 (i.e., often 4095) not counting the trailing NUL.
Combine that with the assumption that the concatenation of that name and
suffixes like "/info/alternates" and "/pack/---long-name---.idx" will fit
in a buffer of length PATH_MAX, and you see the problem. Here's a fix:
sha1_file.c (prepare_packed_git_one): Lengthen "path" buffer
so we are guaranteed to be able to append "/pack/" without checking.
Skip any directory entry that is too long to be appended.
(read_info_alternates): Protect against a similar buffer overrun.
Before this change, using the following admittedly contrived environment
setting would cause many git commands to clobber their stack and segfault
on a system with PATH_MAX == 4096:
t=$(perl -e '$s=".git/objects";$n=(4096-6-length($s))/2;print "./"x$n . $s')
export GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES=$t
touch g
./git-update-index --add g
If you run the above commands, you'll soon notice that many
git commands now segfault, so you'll want to do this:

I ran git-prune on a repository and got this:
$ git-prune
error: Object 228f8065b930120e35fc0c154c237487ab02d64a is a blob, not a commit
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This repository was a strange one in that it was being used to provide
its own submodule. That is, the repository was cloned into a
subdirectory, an independent branch checked out in that subdirectory,
and then it was marked as a submodule. git-prune then failed in the
above manner.
The problem was that git-prune was not submodule aware in two areas.
Linus said:
> So what happens is that something traverses a tree object, looks at each
> entry, sees that it's not a tree, and tries to look it up as a blob. But
> subprojects are commits, not blobs, and then when you look at the object
> more closely, you get the above kind of object type confusion.
and included a patch to add an S_ISGITLINK() test to reachable.c's
process_tree() function. That fixed the first git-prune error, and
stopped it from trying to process the gitlink entries in trees as if
they were pointers to other trees (and of course failing, because
gitlinks _aren't_ trees). That part of this patch is his.
The second area is add_cache_refs(). This is called before starting the
reachability analysis, and was calling lookup_blob() on every object
hash found in the index. However, it is no longer true that every hash
in the index is a pointer to a blob, some of them are gitlinks, and are
not backed by any object at all, they are commits in another repository.
Normally this bug was not causing any problems, but in the case of the
self-referencing repository described above, it meant that the gitlink
hash was being marked as being of type OBJ_BLOB by add_cache_refs() call
to lookup_blob(). Then later, because that hash was also pointed to by
a ref, add_one_ref() would treat it as a commit; lookup_commit() would
return a NULL because that object was already noted as being an
OBJ_BLOB, not an OBJ_COMMIT; and parse_commit_buffer() would SEGFAULT on
that NULL pointer.
The fix made by this patch is to not blindly call lookup_blob() in
reachable.c's add_cache_refs(), and instead skip any index entries that
are S_ISGITLINK().

git-gui: Don't require $DISPLAY just to get --version

The Tools/Migrate menu option is a hack just for me. Yes, that's
right, git-gui has a hidden feature that really only works for me,
and the users that I support within my day-job's great firewall.
The menu option is not supported outside of that environment.
In the past we only enabled Tools/Migrate if our special local
script 'gui-miga' existed in the proper location, and if there
was a special '.pvcsrc' in the top level of the working directory.
This latter test for the '.pvcsrc' file is now failing, as the file
was removed from all Git repositories due to changes made to other
tooling within the great firewall's realm.
I have changed the test to only work on Cygwin, and only if the
special 'gui-miga' is present. This works around the configuration
changes made recently within the great firewall's realm, but really
this entire Tools/Migrate thing should be abstracted out into some
sort of plugin system so other users can extend git-gui as they need.

And while we probably should never create an index for such a pack, if we

Junio asked that we don't force the user to have a valid X11 server
configured in $DISPLAY just to obtain the output of `git gui version`.
This makes sense, the user may be an automated tool that is running
without an X server available to it, such as a build script or other
sort of package management system. Or it might just be a user working
in a non-GUI environment and wondering "what version of git-gui do I
have installed?".
Tcl has a lot of warts, but one of its better ones is that a comment
can be continued to the next line by escaping the LF that would have
ended the comment using a backslash-LF sequence. In the past we have
used this trick to escape away the 'exec wish' that is actually a Bourne
shell script and keep Tcl from executing it.
I'm using that feature here to comment out the Bourne shell script and
hide it from the Tcl engine. Except now our Bourne shell script is a
few lines long and checks to see if it should print the version, or not.

Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com> noted that installation on Cygwin
to /usr/bin can cause problems with the automatic guessing of our
library location. The problem is that installation to /usr/bin
means we actually have:
/usr/bin = c:\cygwin\bin
/usr/share = c:\cygwin\usr\share
So git-gui guesses that its library should be found within the
c:\cygwin\share directory, as that is where it should be relative
to the script itself in c:\cygwin\bin.
In my first version of this patch I tried to use `cygpath` to resolve
/usr/bin and /usr/share to test that they were in the same relative
locations, but that didn't work out correctly as we were actually
testing /usr/share against itself, so it always was equal, and we
always used relative paths. So my original solution was quite wrong.
Mark suggested we just always disable relative behavior on Cygwin,
because of the complexity of the mount mapping problem, so that's
all I'm doing.
