The plumbing "diff" commands look at the working tree files without
refreshing the index themselves for performance reasons (the calling
script is expected to do that upfront just once, before calling one or
more of them). In the early days of git, they showed the "diff --git"
header before they actually ask the xdiff machinery to produce patches,
and ended up showing only these headers if the real contents are the same
and the difference they noticed was only because the stat info cached in
the index did not match that of the working tree. It was too late for the
implementation to take the header that it already emitted back.
But 3e97c7c (No diff -b/-w output for all-whitespace changes, 2009-11-19)
introduced necessary logic to keep the meta-information headers in a
strbuf and delay their output until the xdiff machinery noticed actual
changes. This was primarily in order to generate patches that ignore
whitespaces. When operating under "-w" mode, we wouldn't know if the
header is needed until we actually look at the resulting patch, so it was
a sensible thing to do, but we did not realize that the same reasoning
applies to stat-dirty paths.
Later, 296c6bb (diff: fix "git show -C -C" output when renaming a binary
file, 2010-05-26) generalized this machinery and added must_show_header
toggle. This is turned on when the header must be shown even when there
is no patch to be produced, e.g. only the mode was changed, or the path
was renamed, without changing the contents. However, when it did so, it
still kept the special case for the "-w" mode, which meant that the
plumbing would keep showing these phantom changes.
This corrects this historical inconsistency by allowing the plumbing to
omit paths that are only stat-dirty from its output in the same way as it
handles whitespace only changes under "-w" option.
The change in the behaviour can be seen in the updated test.

The plumbing that looks at the working tree, i.e. "diff-index" and
"diff-files", always emit the "diff --git a/path b/path" header lines
without anything else for paths that are only stat-dirty (i.e. different
only because the cached stat information in the index no longer matches
that of the working tree, but the real contents are the same), when
these commands are run with "-p" option to produce patches.
Illustrate this current behaviour. Also demonstrate that with the "-w"
option, we (correctly) hold off showing a "diff --git" header until actual
differences have been found. This also suppresses the header for merely
stat-dirty files, which is inconsistent.

Match the style to more modern test scripts, namely:
- The first line of each test has prereq, title and opening sq for the
script body. This makes the test shorter while reducing the need for
backslashes.
- Be prepared for the case in which the previous test may have failed.
If a test wants to start from not having "frotz" that the previous test
may have created, write "rm -f frotz", not "rm frotz".
- Prepare the expected output inside your own test.
- The order of comparison to check the result is "diff expected actual",
so that the output will show how the output from the git you just broke
is different from what is expected.
- Write no SP between redirection '>' (or '<' for that matter) and the
filename.

When "git grep" is run with -P/--perl-regexp, it doesn't match ^ and $ at
the beginning/end of the line. This is because PCRE normally matches ^
and $ at the beginning/end of the whole text, not for each line, and "git
grep" passes a large chunk of text (possibly containing many lines) to
pcre_exec() and then splits the text into lines.
This makes "git grep -P" behave differently from "git grep -E" and also
from "grep -P" and "pcregrep":
$ cat file

$ git grep --no-index -P '^ ' file
$ git grep --no-index -E '^ ' file

Because git's object format requires us to specify the
number of bytes in the object in its header, we must know
the size before streaming a blob into the object database.
This is not a problem when adding a regular file, as we can
get the size from stat(). However, when filters are in use
(such as autocrlf, or the ident, filter, or eol
gitattributes), we have no idea what the ultimate size will
be.
The current code just punts on the whole issue and ignores
filter configuration entirely for files larger than
core.bigfilethreshold. This can generate confusing results
if you use filters for large binary files, as the filter
will suddenly stop working as the file goes over a certain
size. Rather than try to handle unknown input sizes with
streaming, this patch just turns off the streaming
optimization when filters are in use.
This has a slight performance regression in a very specific
case: if you have autocrlf on, but no gitattributes, a large
binary file will avoid the streaming code path because we
don't know beforehand whether it will need conversion or
not. But if you are handling large binary files, you should
be marking them as such via attributes (or at least not
using autocrlf, and instead marking your text files as
such). And the flip side is that if you have a large
_non_-binary file, there is a correctness improvement;
before we did not apply the conversion at all.
The first half of the new t1051 script covers these failures
on input. The second half tests the matching output code
paths. These already work correctly, and do not need any
adjustment.

When we call convert_to_git in dry-run mode, it may still
want to look at the source buffer, because some CRLF
conversion modes depend on analyzing the source to determine
whether it is in fact convertible CRLF text.
However, the main motivation for convert_to_git's dry-run
mode is that we would decide which method to use to acquire
the blob's data (streaming versus in-core). Requiring this
source analysis creates a chicken-and-egg problem. We are
better off simply guessing that anything we can't analyze
will end up needing conversion.
This patch lets a caller specify a NULL src buffer when
using dry-run mode (and only dry-run mode). A non-zero
return value goes from "we would convert" to "we might
convert"; a zero return value remains "we would definitely
not convert".

Some callers may want to know whether convert_to_git will
actually do anything before performing the conversion
itself (e.g., to decide whether to stream or handle blobs
in-core). This patch lets callers specify the dry run mode
by passing a NULL destination buffer. The return value,
instead of indicating whether conversion happened, will
indicate whether conversion would occur.
For readability, we also include a wrapper function which
makes it more obvious we are not actually performing the
conversion.

When git spawns a remote helper program (like git-remote-http),
the last thing we do before closing the pipe to the child
process is to send a blank line, telling the helper that we
are done issuing commands. However, the helper may already
have exited, in which case the parent git process will
receive SIGPIPE and die.
In particular, this can happen with the remote-curl helper
when it encounters errors during a push. The helper reports
individual errors for each ref back to git-push, and then
exits with a non-zero exit code. Depending on the exact
timing of the write, the parent process may or may not
receive SIGPIPE.
This causes intermittent test failure in t5541.8, and is a
side effect of 5238cbf (remote-curl: Fix push status report
when all branches fail). Before that commit, remote-curl
would not send the final blank line to indicate that the
list of status lines was complete; it would just exit,
closing the pipe. The parent git-push would notice the
closed pipe while reading the status report and exit
immediately itself, propagating the failing exit code. But
post-5238cbf, remote-curl completes the status list before
exiting, git-push actually runs to completion, and then it
tries to cleanly disconnect the helper, leading to the
SIGPIPE race above.
This patch drops all error-checking when sending the final
"we are about to hang up" blank line to helpers. There is
nothing useful for the parent process to do about errors at
that point anyway, and certainly failing to send our "we are
done with commands" line to a helper that has already exited
is not a problem.

The first part of the bundle header contains the boundary commits, and
could be approximated by
# v2 git bundle
$(git rev-list --pretty=oneline --boundary <ARGS> | grep ^-)
git-bundle actually spawns exactly this rev-list invocation, and does
the grepping internally.
There was a subtle bug in the latter step: it used fgets() with a
1024-byte buffer. If the user has sufficiently long subjects (e.g.,
by not adhering to the git oneline-subject convention in the first
place), the 'oneline' format can easily overflow the buffer. fgets()
then returns the rest of the line in the next call(s). If one of
these remaining parts started with '-', git-bundle would mistakenly
insert it into the bundle thinking it was a boundary commit.
Fix it by using strbuf_getwholeline() instead, which handles arbitrary
line lengths correctly.
Note that on the receiving side in parse_bundle_header() we were
already using strbuf_getwholeline_fd(), so that part is safe.
