465d6a00e9 i18n: Rewrite gettext messages start with dash
Gettext message in a shell script should not start with '-', one
workaround is adding '--' between gettext and the message, like:

    gettext -- "--exec option ..."

But due to a bug in the xgettext extraction, xgettext can not
extract the actual message for this case. Rewriting the message
is a simpler and better solution.

8c8b3bc3f4 t7502: test early quit from commit with bad ident
In commit f20f387, "git commit" notices and dies much
earlier when we have a bogus commit identity. That commit
did not add a test because we cannot do so reliably (namely,
we can only trigger the behavior on a system where the
automatically generated identity is bogus). However, now
that we have a prerequisite check for this feature, we can
add a test that will at least run on systems that produce
such a bogus identity.

1d7dc26498 t7502: handle systems where auto-identity is broken
Test t7502.21 checks whether we write the committer name
into COMMIT_EDITMSG when it has been automatically
determined. However, not all systems can produce valid
automatic identities.

Prior to f20f387 (commit: check committer identity more
strictly), this test worked even when we did not have a
valid automatic identity, since it did not run the strict
test until after we had generated the template. That commit
tightened the check to fail early (since we would fail
later, anyway), meaning that systems without a valid GECOS
name or hostname would fail the test.

We cannot just work around this, because it depends on
configuration outside the control of the test script.
Therefore we introduce a new test_prerequisite to run this
test only on systems where automatic ident works at all.

As a result, we can drop the confusing test_must_fail bit
from the test. The intent was that by giving "git commit"
invalid input (namely, nothing to commit), that it would
stop at a predictable point, whether we had a valid identity
or not, from which we could view the contents of
COMMIT_EDITMSG. Since that assumption no longer holds, and
we can only run the test when we have a valid identity,
there is no reason not to let commit run to completion. That
lets us be more robust to other unforeseen failures.

ceacd91a06 t7502: drop confusing test_might_fail call
In t7502.20, we run "git commit" and check that it warns us
that the author and committer identity are not the same
(this is always the case in the test environment, since we
set up the idents differently).

Instead of actually making a commit, we have a clean index,
so the "git commit" we run will fail. This is marked as
might_fail, which is not really correct; it will always fail
since there is nothing to commit.

However, the only reason not to do a complete commit would
be to see the intermediate state of the COMMIT_EDITMSG file
when the commit is not completed. We don't need to care
about this, though; even a complete commit will leave
COMMIT_EDITMSG for us to view.  By doing a real commit and
dropping the might_fail, we are more robust against other
unforeseen failures of "git commit" that might influence our
test result.

It might seem less robust to depend on the fact that "git
commit" leaves COMMIT_EDITMSG in place after a successful
commit. However, that brings this test in line with others
parts of the script, which make the same assumption.
Furthermore, if that ever does change, the right solution is
not to prevent commit from completing, but to set EDITOR to
a script that will record the contents we see. After all,
the point of these tests is to check what the user sees in
their EDITOR, so that would be the most direct test. For
now, though, we can continue to use the "shortcut" that
COMMIT_EDITMSG is left intact.

1f4bf34578 t7502: narrow checks for author/committer name in template
t7502.20 and t7502.21 check that the author and committer
name are mentioned in the commit message template under
certain circumstances. However, they end up checking a much
larger and unnecessary portion of the template. Let's narrow
their checks to the specific lines.

While we're at it, let's give these tests more descriptive
names, so their purposes are more obvious.

34565f27fe t7502: properly quote GIT_EDITOR
One of the tests tries to ensure that editor is not run due
to an early failure. However, it needs to quote the pathname
of the trash directory used in $GIT_EDITOR, since git will
pass it along to the shell. In other words, the test would
pass whether the code was correct or not, since the unquoted
editor specification would never run.

We never noticed the problem because the code is indeed
correct, so git-commit never even tried to run the editor.

a9ebc43bd0 t7502: clean up fake_editor tests
Using write_script saves us a few lines of code, and means
we consistently use $SHELL_PATH.

We can also drop the setting of the $pwd variable from
$(pwd). In the first instance, there is no reason to use it
(we can just use $(pwd) directly two lines later, since we
are interpolating the here-document). In the second
instance, it is totally pointless and probably just a
cut-and-paste from the first instance.

Finally, we can use a non-interpolating here document for
the final script, which saves some quoting.

add416a6c0 checkout: don't confuse ref and object flags
When we are leaving a detached HEAD, we do a revision traversal to
check whether we are orphaning any commits, marking the commit we're
leaving as the start of the traversal, and all existing refs as
uninteresting.

Prior to commit 468224e5, we did so by calling for_each_ref, and
feeding each resulting refname to setup_revisions.  Commit 468224e5
refactored this to simply mark the pending objects, saving an extra
lookup.

However, it confused the "flags" parameter to the each_ref_fn
clalback, which is about the flags we found while looking up the ref
with the object flag.  Because REF_ISSYMREF ("this ref is a symbolic
ref, e.g. refs/remotes/origin/HEAD") happens to be the same bit
pattern as SEEN ("we have picked this object up from the pending
list and moved it to revs.commits list"), we incorrectly reported
that a commit previously at the detached HEAD will become
unreachable if the only ref that can reach the commit happens to be
pointed at by a symbolic ref.

be8779f7ac git-submodule: work with GIT_DIR/GIT_WORK_TREE
The combination of GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE can be used to manage
files in one directory hierarchy while keeping the repository that
keeps track of them outside the directory hierarchy.  For example:

    git init --bare /path/to/there
    alias dotfiles="GIT_DIR=/path/to/there GIT_WORK_TREE=/path/to/here git"

    cd /path/to/here
    dotfiles add file
    dotfiles commit -a -m "add /path/to/here/file"
    ...

lets you manage files under /path/to/here/ in the repository located
at /path/to/there.

git-submodule however fails to add submodules, as it is confused by
GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables when it tries to
work in the submodule, like so:

    dotfiles submodule add http://path.to/submodule
    fatal: working tree '/path/to/here' already exists.

Simply unsetting the environment where the command works on the
submodule is sufficient to fix this, as it has set things up so
that GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE do not even have to point at the
repository and the working tree of the submodule.

f628825481 t/lib-httpd: handle running under --valgrind
Running the http tests with valgrind does not work for two
reasons:

  1. Apache complains about following the symbolic link from

  2. Apache does not pass through the GIT_VALGRIND variable
     to the backend CGI.

This patch fixes both problems. Unfortunately, there is a
slight hack we need to handle passing environment variables
through Apache. If we just tell it:

  PassEnv GIT_VALGRIND

then Apache will complain when GIT_VALGRIND is not set. If
we try:

  SetEnv GIT_VALGRIND ${GIT_VALGRIND}

then when GIT_VALGRIND is not set, it will pass through the
literal "${GIT_VALGRIND}". Instead, we now unconditionally
pass through GIT_VALGRIND from lib-httpd.sh into apache,
even if it is empty.

41f597d9bb commit: document the temporary commit message file
We do not document COMMIT_EDITMSG at all, but users may want
to know about it for two reasons:

  1. They may want to tell their editor to configure itself
     for formatting a commit message.

  2. If a commit is aborted by an error, the user may want
     to recover the commit message they typed.

Let's put a note in git-commit(1).

109859e274 mergetool: support --tool-help option like difftool does
This way we do not have to risk the list of tools going out of sync
between the implementation and the documentation.

In the same spirit as bf73fc2 (difftool: print list of valid tools
with '--tool-help', 2012-03-29), trim the list of merge backends in
the documentation.  We do not want to have a complete list of valid
tools; we only want a list to help people guess what kind of things
the tools do to be specified there, and refer them to --tool-help
for a complete list.

f20f3878ac commit: check committer identity more strictly
The identity of the committer will ultimately be pulled from
the ident code by commit_tree(). However, we make an attempt
to check the author and committer identity early, before the
user has done any manual work like inputting a commit
message. That lets us abort without them having to worry
about salvaging the work from .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG.

The early check for committer ident does not use the
IDENT_STRICT flag, meaning that it would not find an empty
name field. The motivation was presumably because we did not
want to be too restrictive, as later calls might be more lax
(for example, when we create the reflog entry, we do not
care too much about a real name). However, because
commit_tree will always get a strict identity to put in the
commit object itself, there is no point in being lax only to
die later (and in fact it is harmful, because the user will
have wasted time typing their commit message).

Incidentally, this bug was masked prior to 060d4bb, as the
initial loose call would taint the later strict call. So the
commit would succeed (albeit with a bogus committer line in
the commit object), and nobody noticed that our early check
did not match the later one.
