2b1e17237b gitweb: Fix handling of fractional timezones in parse_date
Fractional timezones, like -0330 (NST used in Canada) or +0430
(Afghanistan, Iran DST), were not handled properly in parse_date; this
means values such as 'minute_local' and 'iso-tz' were not generated
correctly.

This was caused by two mistakes:

* sign of timezone was applied only to hour part of offset, and not
  as it should be also to minutes part (this affected only negative
  fractional timezones).

* 'int $h + $m/60' is 'int($h + $m/60)' and not 'int($h) + $m/60',
  so fractional part was discarded altogether ($h is hours, $m is
  minutes, which is always less than 60).

Note that positive fractional timezones +0430, +0530 and +1030 can be
found as authortime in git.git repository itself.

For example http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/commit/88d50e7 had authortime
of "Fri, 8 Jan 2010 18:48:07 +0000 (23:48 +0530)", which is not marked
with 'atnight', when "git show 88d50e7" gives correct author date of
"Sat Jan 9 00:18:07 2010 +0530".

 * All types of extension begin with signature and length as explained in
   the first part. Don't repeat the "length" part in the description of
   each extension (can be mistaken as if there is a separate 32-bit size
   field inside the extension), but state what the signature for each
   extension is.

 * Don't say "Extension tag", as we have said "Extension signature" in the

 * Clarify the invalidation of cache-tree entries;

 * Correct description on subtree_nr field in the cache-tree;

 * Clarify the order of entries in cache-tree;

b5f306fbe1 git-am.txt: advertise 'git am --abort' instead of 'rm .git/rebase-apply'
'git am --abort' is around for quite a long time now, and users should
normally not poke around inside the .git directory, yet the
documentation of 'git am' still recommends the following:

  ... if you decide to start over from scratch,
  run `rm -f -r .git/rebase-apply` ...

Suggest 'git am --abort' instead.

It's not quite the same as the original, because 'git am --abort' will
restore the original branch, while simply removing '.git/rebase-apply'
won't, but that's rather a thinko in the original wording, because
that won't actually "start over _from scratch_".

483fbe2b7c update $GIT_INDEX_FILE when there are racily clean entries
Traditional "opportunistic index update" done by read-only "diff" and
"status" was about updating cached lstat(2) information in the index for
the next round.  We missed another obvious optimization opportunity: when
there are racily clean entries that will cease to be racily clean by
updating $GIT_INDEX_FILE.  Detect that case and write $GIT_INDEX_FILE out
to give it a newer timestamp.

Noticed by Lasse Makholm by stracing "git status" in a fresh checkout and
counting the number of open(2) calls.

c4e4644e17 bisect: visualize with git-log if gitk is unavailable
If gitk is not available in the PATH, bisect ends up
exiting with the shell's 127 error code, confusing the git
wrapper into thinking that bisect is not a git command.

We already fallback to git-log if there doesn't seem to be a
graphical display available. We should do the same if gitk
is not available in our PATH at all. This not only fixes the
ugly error message, but is a much more sensible default than
failing to show the user anything.

c3786c8472 Work around broken ln on solaris as used in t8006
The test setup in t8006-blame-textconv.sh uses "ln -sf" to
overwrite an existing symlink.  Unfortunately, both /usr/bin/ln
and /usr/xpg4/bin/ln on solaris 9 don't properly handle -f and -s
used at the same time.  This caused the test setup and subsequent
checks to fail.

Instead, remove the symlink and then create a new one in the
setup code.

The upstream Solaris bug (fixed in 10, but not 9) is documented

3ba2e8653c stash: copy the index using --index-output instead of cp -p
'git stash create' must operate with a temporary index. For this purpose,
it used 'cp -p' to create a copy. -p is needed to preserve the timestamp
of the index file. Now Jakob Pfender reported a certain combination of
a Linux NFS client, OpenBSD NFS server, and cp implementation where this
operation failed.

Luckily, the first operation in git-stash after copying the index is to
call 'git read-tree'. Therefore, use --index-output instead of 'cp -p'
to write the copy of the index.

--index-output requires that the specified file is on the same volume as
the source index, so that the lock file can be rename()d. For this reason,
the name of the temporary index is constructed in a way different from the
other temporary files. The code path of 'stash -p' also needs a temporary
index, but we do not use the new name because it does not depend on the
same precondition as --index-output.

23a32ffe80 stash: fix incorrect quoting in cleanup of temporary files
The * was inside the quotes, so that the pattern was never expanded and the
temporary files were never removed. As a consequence, 'stash -p' left a
.git-stash-*-patch file in $GIT_DIR. Other code paths did not leave files
behind because they removed the temporary file themselves, at least in
non-error paths.

6affdbe677 gitweb: highlight: replace tabs with spaces
Consider the following code fragment:

        /*
         * test
         */

vim ":set list" mode shows that the first character on each line is a
tab:

^I/*$
^I * test$
^I */$

By default, the "highlight" program will retain the tabs in the HTML
output:

$ highlight --fragment --syntax c test.c
        <span class="hl com">/*</span>
<span class="hl com">    * test</span>
<span class="hl com">    */</span>

vim list mode:

^I<span class="hl com">/*</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I * test</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I */</span>$

In gitweb, this winds up looking something like:

   1         /*
   2     * test
   3     */

I tried both Firefox and Opera and saw the same behavior.

The desired output is:

   1         /*
   2          * test
   3          */

This can be accomplished by specifying "--replace-tabs=8" on the
highlight command line.

2cfe8a68cc diff --quiet: disable optimization when --diff-filter=X is used
The code notices that the caller does not want any detail of the changes
and only wants to know if there is a change or not by specifying --quiet.
And it breaks out of the loop when it knows it already found any change.

When you have a post-process filter (e.g. --diff-filter), however, the
path we found to be different in the previous round and set HAS_CHANGES
bit may end up being uninteresting, and there may be no output at the end.
The optimization needs to be disabled for such case.

Note that the f245194 (diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace"
options, 2009-05-22) already disables this optimization by refraining
from setting HAS_CHANGES when post-process filters that need to inspect
the contents of the files (e.g. -S, -w) in diff_change() function.

bytes at a time, even if it means reading past the end of the

inlined, it is not replaced by valgrind, which reports a
false-possitive.

fact, safe. Current upstream-released version 3.6.1 is affected. Some

   * checks whether this is a fast-forward or fast-backward;
   * prepares a revision walk to list commits in the symmetric
     difference between the commits at each endpoint.

   It returns nonzero on error.

 - print_submodule_summary runs the revision walk and saves

26b59b4812 git stash: show status relative to current directory
git status shows modified paths relative to current directory, so it's
possible to copy&paste them directly, even if you're in a subdirectory.

But "git stash apply" always shows status from root of git repository.
This is misleading because you can't use the paths without modifications.

This is caused by changing directory to root of repository at the
beginning of git stash.

This patch makes git stash show status relative to current directory.
Instead of removing the "cd to toplevel", which would affect whole
script and might have other side-effects, the fix is to change directory
temporarily back to original dir just before displaying status.

dce9648916 Make the default abbrev length configurable
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.

These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.

We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.

This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.
