The git command "commit" supports a number of hooks that support
changing the behavior of the commit command. The git-p4.py program only
has one existing hook, "p4-pre-submit". This command occurs early in
the process. There are no hooks in the process flow for modifying
the P4 changelist text programmatically.
Adds 3 new hooks to git-p4.py to the submit option.
The new hooks are:
* p4-prepare-changelist - Execute this hook after the changelist file
has been created. The hook will be executed even if the
--prepare-p4-only option is set. This hook ignores the --no-verify
option in keeping with the existing behavior of git commit.
* p4-changelist - Execute this hook after the user has edited the
changelist. Do not execute this hook if the user has selected the
--prepare-p4-only option. This hook will honor the --no-verify,
following the conventions of git commit.
* p4-post-changelist - Execute this hook after the P4 submission process
has completed successfully. This hook takes no parameters and is
executed regardless of the --no-verify option. It's return value will
not be checked.
The calls to the new hooks: p4-prepare-changelist, p4-changelist,
and p4-post-changelist should all be called inside the try-finally
block.

In preparation for adding new hooks to the submit method of git-p4,
restructure the applyCommit function in the P4Submit class. Make the
following changes:
* Move all the code after the definition of submitted = False into the
Try-Finally block. This ensures that any error that occurs will
properly recover. This is not necessary with the current code because
none of it should throw an exception, however the next set of changes
will introduce exceptional code.
Existing flow control can remain as defined - the if-block for
prepare-p4-only sets the local variable "submitted" to True and exits
the function. New early exits, leave submitted set to False so the
Finally block will undo changes to the P4 workspace.
* Make the small usability change of adding an empty string to the
print statements displayed to the user when the prepare-p4-only option
is selected. On Windows, the command print() may display a set of
parentheses "()" to the user when the print() function is called with
no parameters. By supplying an empty string, the intended blank line
will print as expected.
* Fix a small bug when the submittedTemplate is edited by the user
and all content in the file is removed. The existing code will throw
an exception if the separateLine is not found in the file. Change this
code to test for the separator line using a find() test first and only
split on the separator if it is found.
* Additionally, add the new behavior that if the changelist file has
been completely emptied that the Submit action for this changelist
will be aborted.

Add new command line option --no-verify:
Add a new command line option "--no-verify" to the Submit command of
git-p4.py. This option will function in the spirit of the existing
--no-verify command line option found in git commit. It will cause the
P4 Submit function to ignore the existing p4-pre-submit.
Change the execution of the existing trigger p4-pre-submit to honor the
--no-verify option. Before exiting on failure of this hook, display
text to the user explaining which hook has failed and the impact
of using the --no-verify option.
Change the call of the p4-pre-submit hook to use the new run_git_hook
function. This is in preparation of additional hooks to be added.

This commit is in preparation of introducing new p4 submit hooks.
The current code in the python script git-p4.py makes the assumption
that the git hooks can be executed by subprocess.call() function.
However, when git is run on Windows, this may not work as expected.
The subprocess.call() does not cover all the use cases for properly
executing the various types of executable files on Windows.
Prepare for remediation by adding a new function, run_git_hook, that
takes 2 parameters:
* the short filename of an optionally registered git hook
* an optional list of parameters
The run_git_hook function will honor the existing behavior seen in the
current code for executing the p4-pre-submit hook:
* Hooks are looked for in core.hooksPath directory.
* If core.hooksPath is not set, then the current .git/hooks directory
is checked.
* If the hook does not exist, the function returns True.
* If the hook file is not accessible, the function returns True.
* If the hook returns a zero exit code when executed, the function
return True.
* If the hook returns a non-zero exit code, the function returns False.
Add the following additional functionality if git-p4.py is run on
Windows.
* If hook file is not located without an extension, search for
any file in the associated hook directory (from the list above) that
has the same name but with an extension.
* If the file is still not found, return True (the hook is missing)
Add a new function run_hook_command() that wraps the OS dependent
functionality for actually running the subprocess.call() with OS
dependent behavior:
If a hook file exists on Windows:
* If there is no extension, set the launch executable to be SH.EXE
- Look for SH.EXE under the environmental variable EXEPATH in the
bin/ directory.
- If %EXEPATH%/bin/sh.exe exists, use this as the actual executable.
- If %EXEPATH%/bin/sh.exe does not exist, use sh.exe
- Execute subprocess.call() without the shell (shell=False)
* If there is an extension, execute subprocess.call() with teh shell
(shell=True) and consider the file to be the executable.
The return value from run_hook_command() is the subprocess.call()
return value.
These functions are added in this commit, but are only staged and not
yet used.

The existing function prompt(prompt_text) does not work correctly when
run on Windows 10 bash terminal when launched from the sourcetree
GUI application. The stdout is not flushed properly so the prompt text
is not displayed to the user until the next flush of stdout, which is
quite confusing.
Change this method by:
* Adding flush to stderr, stdout, and stdin
* Use readline from sys.stdin instead of raw_input.
The existing strip().lower() are retained.

Further tweak to a "no backslash in indexed paths" for Windows port
we applied earlier.
* js/mingw-loosen-overstrict-tree-entry-checks:
mingw: safeguard better against backslashes in file names
In 224c7d70fa (mingw: only test index entries for backslashes, not tree
entries, 2019-12-31), we relaxed the check for backslashes in tree
entries to check only index entries.
However, the code change was incorrect: it was added to
`add_index_entry_with_check()`, not to `add_index_entry()`, so under
certain circumstances it was possible to side-step the protection.
Besides, the description of that commit purported that all index entries
would be checked when in fact they were only checked when being added to
the index (there are code paths that do not do that, constructing
"transient" index entries).
In any case, it was pointed out in one insightful review at
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2437#issuecomment-566771835
that it would be a much better idea to teach `verify_path()` to perform
the check for a backslash. This is safer, even if it comes with two
notable drawbacks:
- `verify_path()` cannot say _what_ is wrong with the path, therefore
the user will no longer be told that there was a backslash in the
path, only that the path was invalid.
- The `git apply` command also calls the `verify_path()` function, and
might have been able to handle Windows-style paths (i.e. with
backslashes instead of forward slashes). This will no longer be
possible unless the user (temporarily) sets `core.protectNTFS=false`.
Note that `git add <windows-path>` will _still_ work because
`normalize_path_copy_len()` will convert the backslashes to forward
slashes before hitting the code path that creates an index entry.
The clear advantage is that `verify_path()`'s purpose is to check the
validity of the file name, therefore we naturally tap into all the code
paths that need safeguarding, also implicitly into future code paths.
The benefits of that approach outweigh the downsides, so let's move the
check from `add_index_entry_with_check()` to `verify_path()`.

Since recent updates to the log graph rendering code, drawing
certain merges started triggering an assert on a condition that
would no longer hold true, which has been corrected.

In some cases, horizontal lines in rendered graphs can lose their
coloring. This is due to a use of graph_line_addch() instead of
graph_line_write_column(). Using a ternary operator to pick the
character is nice for compact code, but we actually need a column to
provide the color.
Add a test to t4215-log-skewed-merges.sh to prevent regression.

When "git log --graph" shows a merge commit that has two collapsing
lines, like:
| | | | *
| |_|_|/|
|/| | |/
| | |/|
| |/| |
| * | |
* | | |
we trigger an assert():
graph.c:1228: graph_output_collapsing_line: Assertion
`graph->mapping[i - 3] == target' failed.
The assert was introduced by eaf158f8 ("graph API: Use horizontal
lines for more compact graphs", 2009-04-21), which is quite old.
This assert is trying to say that when we complete a horizontal
line with a single slash, it is because we have reached our target.
It is actually the _second_ collapsing line that hits this assert.
The reason we are in this code path is because we are collapsing
the first line, and in that case we are hitting our target now
that the horizontal line is complete. However, the second line
cannot be a horizontal line, so it will collapse without horizontal
lines. In this case, it is inappropriate to assert that we have
reached our target, as we need to continue for another column
before reaching the target. Dropping the assert is safe here.
The new behavior in 0f0f389f12 (graph: tidy up display of
left-skewed merges, 2019-10-15) caused the behavior change that
made this assertion failure possible. In addition to making the
assert possible, it also changed how multiple edges collapse.
In a larger example, the current code will output a collapse
as follows:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | | | |/| /
| | | |/| |/
| | |/| |/|
| |/| |/| |
| | |/| | |
| | * | | |
However, the intended collapse should allow multiple horizontal lines
as follows:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | |_|_|/| /
| |/| | | |/
| | | |_|/|
| | |/| | |
| | * | | |
This behavior is not corrected by this change, but is noted for a later
update.

In 50f26bd ("fetch: add fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting",
2019-09-02), the fetch builtin added the capability to write a
commit-graph using the "--split" feature. This feature creates
multiple commit-graph files, and those can merge based on a set
of "split options" including a size multiple. The default size
multiple is 2, which intends to provide a log_2 N depth of the
commit-graph chain where N is the number of commits.
However, I noticed during dogfooding that my commit-graph chains
were becoming quite large when left only to builds by 'git fetch'.
It turns out that in split_graph_merge_strategy(), we default the
size_mult variable to 2 except we override it with the context's
split_opts if they exist. In builtin/fetch.c, we create such a
split_opts, but do not populate it with values.
This problem is due to two failures:
1. It is unclear that we can add the flag COMMIT_GRAPH_WRITE_SPLIT
with a NULL split_opts.
2. If we have a non-NULL split_opts, then we override the default
values even if a zero value is given.
Correct both of these issues. First, do not override size_mult when
the options provide a zero value. Second, stop creating a split_opts
in the fetch builtin.

During a clone of a repository that contained a file with a backslash in
its name in the past, as of v2.24.1(2), Git for Windows prints errors
like this:
error: filename in tree entry contains backslash: '\'
The idea is to prevent Git from even trying to write files with
backslashes in their file names: while these characters are valid in
file names on other platforms, on Windows it is interpreted as directory
separator (which would obviously lead to ambiguities, e.g. when there is
a file `a\b` and there is also a file `a/b`).
Arguably, this is the wrong layer for that error: As long as the user
never checks out the files whose names contain backslashes, there should
not be any problem in the first place.
So let's loosen the requirements: we now leave tree entries with
backslashes in their file names alone, but we do require any entries
that are added to the Git index to contain no backslashes on Windows.
Note: just as before, the check is guarded by `core.protectNTFS` (to
allow overriding the check by toggling that config setting), and it
is _only_ performed on Windows, as the backslash is not a directory
separator elsewhere, even when writing to NTFS-formatted volumes.
An alternative approach would be to try to prevent creating files with
backslashes in their file names. However, that comes with its own set of
problems. For example, `git config -f C:\ProgramData\Git\config ...` is
a very valid way to specify a custom config location, and we obviously
do _not_ want to prevent that. Therefore, the approach chosen in this
patch would appear to be better.
