To figure out the author ident for a commit, we call
determine_author_info(). This function collects information
from the environment, other commits (in the case of
"--amend" or "-c/-C"), and the "--author" option. It then
uses fmt_ident to generate the final ident string that goes
into the commit object. fmt_ident is therefore responsible
for any quality or validation checks on what is allowed to
go into a commit.
Before returning, though, we call split_ident_line on the
result, and feed the individual components to hooks via the
GIT_AUTHOR_* variables. Furthermore, we do extra validation
by feeding the split to sane_ident_split(), which is pickier
than fmt_ident (in particular, it will complain about an empty
email field). If this parsing or validation fails, we skip
updating the environment variables.
This is bad, because it means that hooks may silently see a
different ident than what we are putting into the commit. We
should drop the extra sane_ident_split checks entirely, and
take whatever fmt_ident has fed us (and what will go into
the commit object).
If parsing fails, we should actually abort here rather than
continuing (and feeding the hooks bogus data). However,
split_ident_line should never fail here. The ident was just
generated by fmt_ident, so we know that it's sane. We can
use assert_split_ident to double-check this.
Note that we also teach that assertion to check that we
found a date (it always should, but until now, no caller
cared whether we found a date or not). Checking the return
value of sane_ident_split is enough to ensure we have the
name/email pointers set, and checking date_begin is enough
to know that all of the date/tz variables are set.

When we generate the commit-message template, we try to
report an author or committer ident that will be of interest
to the user: an author that does not match the committer, or
a committer that was auto-configured.
When doing so, if we encounter what we consider to be a
bogus ident, we immediately die. This is a bad idea, because
our use of the idents here is purely informational. Any
ident rules should be enforced elsewhere, because commits
that do not invoke the editor will not even hit this code
path (e.g., "git commit -mfoo" would work, but "git commit"
would not). So at best, we are redundant with other checks,
and at worse, we actively prevent commits that should
otherwise be allowed.
We should therefore do the minimal parsing we can to get a
value and not do any validation (i.e., drop the call to
sane_ident_split()).
In theory we could notice when even our minimal parsing
fails to work, and do the sane thing for each check (e.g.,
if we have an author but can't parse the committer, assume
they are different and print the author). But we can
actually simplify this even further.
We know that the author and committer strings we are parsing
have been generated by us earlier in the program, and
therefore they must be parseable. We could just call
split_ident_line without even checking its return value,
knowing that it will put _something_ in the name/mail
fields. Of course, to protect ourselves against future
changes to the code, it makes sense to turn this into an
assert, so we are not surprised if our assumption fails.

Just like other hints such as "Changes to be committed" we show in
the editor to remind the committer what paths were involved in the
resulting commit to help improving their log message, this section
is merely a reminder.
Traditionally, it was not made into comments primarily because it
has to be generated outside the wt-status infrastructure, and also
because it was meant as a bit stronger reminder than the others
(i.e. explaining how you resolved conflicts is much more important
than mentioning what you did to every paths involved in the commit).
But that still does not make this hint a part of the log message
proper, and not showing it as a comment is inviting mistakes.
Note that we still notice "Conflicts:" followed by list of indented
pathnames as an old-style cruft and insert a new Signed-off-by:
before it. This is so that "commit --amend -s" adds the new S-o-b
at the right place when used on an older commit.

The detection _should_ make sure the "Conflicts:" line it finds is
truly the conflict hint block by checking everything that follows is
a HT indented pathname to avoid false positive, but this logic will
be revamped in a later patch to ignore comments and blanks anyway,
so it is left as-is in this step.

resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref
resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be
a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when
we want this behaviour.
While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output

Originally the color-parsing function was used only for
config variables. It made sense to pass the variable name so
that the die() message could be something like:
$ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain'
These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting
error messages are a little confusing:
$ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format'
$ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line'
This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the
value, and then return an error code. Config callers can
then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions
the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom
message. After this patch these three cases now look like:
$ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
error: invalid color value: bogus
fatal: unable to parse 'color.branch.plain' from command-line config
$ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
error: invalid color value: bogus
fatal: unable to parse --pretty format
$ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus
error: invalid color value: bogus

Many config-parsing helpers, like parse_branch_color_slot,
take the name of a config variable and an offset to the
"slot" name (e.g., "color.branch.plain" is passed along with
"13" to effectively pass "plain"). This is leftover from the
time that these functions would die() on error, and would
want the full variable name for error reporting.
These days they do not use the full variable name at all.
Passing a single pointer to the slot name is more natural,
and lets us more easily adjust the callers to use skip_prefix
to avoid manually writing offset numbers.
This is effectively a continuation of 9e1a5eb, which did the
same for parse_diff_color_slot. This patch covers all of the
remaining similar constructs.

When figuring out the author name for a commit, we may end
up either pointing to const storage from getenv("GIT_AUTHOR_*"),
or to newly allocated storage based on an existing commit or
the --author option.
Using const pointers to getenv's return has two problems:
1. It is not guaranteed that the return value from getenv
remains valid across multiple calls.
2. We do not know whether to free the values at the end,
so we just leak them.
We can solve both by duplicating the string returned by

Rather than parsing the header manually to find the "author"
field, and then parsing its sub-parts, let's use
find_commit_header and split_ident_line. This is shorter and
easier to read, and should do a more careful parsing job.
For example, the current parser could find the end-of-email
right-bracket across a newline (for a malformed commit), and
calculate a bogus gigantic length for the date (by using
"eol - rb").
As a bonus, this also plugs a memory leak when we pull the
date field from an existing commit (we still leak the name
and email buffers, which will be fixed in a later commit).

Many of the date functions write into fixed-size buffers.
This is a minor pain, as we have to take special
precautions, and frequently end up copying the result into a
strbuf or heap-allocated buffer anyway (for which we
sometimes use strcpy!).
Let's instead teach parse_date, datestamp, etc to write to a
strbuf. The obvious downside is that we might need to
perform a heap allocation where we otherwise would not need
to. However, it turns out that the only two new allocations
required are:
1. In test-date.c, where we don't care about efficiency.
2. In determine_author_info, which is not performance
critical (and where the use of a strbuf will help later
refactoring).

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);

While strbufs are pretty common throughout our code, it is
more flexible for functions to take a pointer/len pair than
a strbuf. It's easy to turn a strbuf into such a pair (by
dereferencing its members), but less easy to go the other
way (you can strbuf_attach, but that has implications about
memory ownership).
This patch teaches commit_tree (and its associated callers
and sub-functions) to take such a pair for the commit
message rather than a strbuf. This makes passing the buffer
around slightly more verbose, but means we can get rid of
some dangerous strbuf_attach calls in the next patch.

Right now we pass off the string found by "--date" straight
to the fmt_ident function, which will use our strict
parse_date to normalize it. However, this means obvious
things like "--date=now" or "--date=2.days.ago" will not
work.
Instead, let's fallback to the approxidate function to
handle this for us. Note that we must try parse_date
ourselves first, even though approxidate will try strict
parsing itself. The reason is that approxidate throws away
any timezone information it sees from the strict parsing,
and we want to preserve it. So asking for:
git commit --date="@1234567890 -0700"
continues to set the date in -0700, regardless of what the
local timezone is.

When we make a commit and the author is not the same as the
committer (e.g., because you used "-c $commit" or
"--author=$somebody"), we print the author's name and email
in both the commit-message template and as part of the
commit summary. This is a safety check to give the user a
chance to confirm that we are doing what they expect.
This patch brings the same safety for the "date" field,
which may be set by "-c" or by using "--date". Note that we
explicitly do not set it for $GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, as it is
probably not of interest when "git commit" is being fed its
parameters by a script.

Instead of string-wise comparing the author/committer lines
with their timestamps truncated, we can use split_ident_line
and ident_cmp. These functions are more robust than our
ad-hoc parsing, though in practice it should not matter, as
we just generated these ident lines ourselves.
However, this will also allow us easy access to the
timestamp and tz fields in future patches.

When we pick another commit's message, we die() immediately
if we find that it's empty and we are not going to run an
editor (i.e., when running "-C" instead of "-c"). However,
this check is redundant and harmful.
It's redundant because we will already notice the empty
message later, after we would have run the editor, and die
there (just as we would for a regular, not "-C" case, where
the user provided an empty message in the editor).
It's harmful for a few reasons:
1. It does not respect --allow-empty-message. As a result,
a "git rebase -i" cannot "pick" such a commit. So you
cannot even go back in time to fix it with a "reword"
or "edit" instruction.
2. It does not take into account other ways besides the
editor to modify the message. For example, "git commit
-C empty-commit -m foo" could take the author
information from empty-commit, but add a message to it.
There's more to do to make that work correctly (and
right now we explicitly forbid "-C with -m"), but this
removes one roadblock.
3. The existing check is not enough to prevent segfaults.
We try to find the "\n\n" header/body boundary in the
commit. If it is at the end of the string (i.e., no
body), _or_ if we cannot find it at all (i.e., a
truncated commit object), we consider the message
empty. With "-C", that's OK; we die in either case. But
with "-c", we continue on, and in the case of a
truncated commit may end up dereferencing NULL+2.

The previous commit fixed the problem that the staged but that ignored
submodules did not show up in the status output of the commit command and
weren't committed afterwards either. But when commit doesn't generate the
status output (e.g. when used in a script with '-m') the ignored submodule
will still not be committed. This is because in that case a different code
path is taken which calls index_differs_from() instead of calling the
wt_status functions.
Fix that by calling index_differs_from() from builtin/commit.c with a
diff_options argument value that tells it not ignore any submodule changes
unless the '--ignore-submodules' option is used. Even though this option
isn't yet implemented for cmd_commit() but only for cmd_status() this
prepares cmd_commit() to correctly handle the '--ignore-submodules' option
later. As status and commit share the same ignore_submodule_arg variable
this makes the code more robust against accidental breakage and documents
how to correctly call index_differs_from().
Change the expected result of the test documenting this problem from
failure to success.

"git commit -v" appends the patch to the log message before

* jl/commit-v-strip-marker:
commit -v: strip diffs and submodule shortlogs from the commit message
When using the '-v' option of "git commit" the diff added to the commit
message temporarily for editing is stripped off after the user exited the
editor by searching for "\ndiff --git " and truncating the commmit message
there if it is found.
But this approach has two problems:
- when the commit message itself contains a line starting with
"diff --git" it will be truncated there prematurely; and
- when the "diff.submodule" setting is set to "log", the diff may
start with "Submodule <hash1>..<hash2>", which will be left in
the commit message while it shouldn't.
Fix that by introducing a special scissor separator line starting with the
comment character ('#' or the core.commentChar config if set) followed by
two lines describing what it is for. The scissor line - which will not be
translated - is used to reliably detect the start of the diff so it can be
chopped off from the commit message, no matter what the user enters there.
Turn a known test failure fixed by this change into a successful test;
also add one for a diff starting with a submodule log and another one for
proper handling of the comment char.

# modified: builtin/commit.c

# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

Most status hints were written to be accurate when running "git status"
before running a commit. Many of them are not applicable when the commit
has already been started, and should not be shown in COMMIT_EDITMSG. The
most obvious are hints advising to run "git commit",
"git rebase/am/cherry-pick --continue", which do not make sense when the
command has already been run.
Other messages become slightly inaccurate (e.g. hint to use "git add" to
add untracked files), as the suggested commands are not immediately
applicable during the editing of COMMIT_EDITMSG, but would be applicable
if the commit is aborted. These messages are both potentially helpful and
slightly misleading. This patch chose to remove them too, to avoid
introducing too much complexity in the status code.

Historically, "git status" needed to prefix each output line with '#' so
that the output could be added as comment to the commit message. This
prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the
command-line, and this may distract users from the real content.
Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for
users needing backward compatibility with status.displayCommentPrefix.
Obviously, "git commit" ignores status.displayCommentPrefix and keeps the
comment unconditionnaly when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG (but not when
writing to stdout for an error message or with --dry-run).

So I defined OPT_HIDDEN_BOOL as an additional possible parse option

The OPT_HIDDEN_BOOL was used in checkout, clone, commit, show-ref.
The only exception, where there was need to fiddle with OPTION_SET_INT

When we refuse to make an empty commit, we check whether we
are in a cherry-pick in order to give better advice on how
to proceed. We instruct the user to repeat the commit with
"--allow-empty" to force the commit, or to use "git reset"
to skip it and abort the cherry-pick.
In the case of a single cherry-pick, the distinction between
skipping and aborting is not important, as there is no more
work to be done afterwards. When we are using the sequencer
to cherry pick a series of commits, though, the instruction
is confusing: does it skip this commit, or does it abort the
rest of the cherry-pick?
It does skip, after which the user can continue the
cherry-pick. This is the right thing to be advising the user
to do, but let's make it more clear what will happen, both
by using the word "skip", and by mentioning that the rest of
the sequence can be continued via "cherry-pick --continue"
(whether we skip or take the commit).
