10c6cddd92 dashed externals: kill children on exit
Several git commands are so-called dashed externals, that is commands
executed as a child process of the git wrapper command. If the git
wrapper is killed by a signal, the child process will continue to run.
This is different from internal commands, which always die with the git
wrapper command.

Enable the recently introduced cleanup mechanism for child processes in
order to make dashed externals act more in line with internal commands.

5e9637c629 i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext
Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show
localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using
either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation.

This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If
gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with
NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of
showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script
we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act
appropriately.

This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and
Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for
those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test
translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this
purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy
to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to
understand.

The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various
sub-parts of this commit.

= Installation

Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard
$(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to
override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself.

= Perl

Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n
module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default.

Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've
opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface)
Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses.

Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and
some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the
$TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own
hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages.

I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to
circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly
internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed
necessary.

See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for
a further elaboration on this topic.

= Shell

Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n
library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh.

If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's
available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris,
which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to
emulate eval_gettext() there.

If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through
wrapper.

= About libcharset.h and langinfo.h

We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if
it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if
HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set.

The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's
nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on
systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is
either saner, or the only option on those systems.

GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either,
but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset()
instead.

This enhances the support for bisecting history in bare repositories.

The "git bisect" command no longer needs to be run inside a repository

a1bea2c1fc ref namespaces: infrastructure
Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple
namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD.
Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from
and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs
to operations such as git-gc.

Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository
avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when
storing multiple branches of the same source.  The alternates mechanism
provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not
prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories
without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.

To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to
the namespace.  For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding
refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/.  For example,
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/.  You can
also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git.

Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of
namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under
refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/.  This makes paths in
GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar.  It
also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as
foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts
within the refs directory.

Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE
environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over
refs in a namespace.

73546c085d handle_options(): do not miscount how many arguments were used
The handle_options() function advances the base of the argument array and
returns the number of arguments it used. The caller in handle_alias()
wants to reallocate the argv array it passes to this function, and
attempts to do so by subtracting the returned value to compensate for the
change handle_options() makes to the new_argv.

But handle_options() did not correctly count when "-c <config=value>" is
given, causing a wrong pointer to be passed to realloc().

Fix it by saving the original argv at the beginning of handle_options(),
and return the difference between the final value of argv, which will
relieve the places that move the array pointer from the additional burden
of keeping track of "handled" counter.

7f51f8bc2b alias: use run_command api to execute aliases

means that aliases currently has to be batch-scripts instead of
bourne-scripts. On top of that, cmd.exe does not handle single quotes,
which is what the code-path currently uses to handle arguments with
spaces.

To solve both problems in one go, use run_command_v_opt() to execute
the alias. It already does the right thing prepend "sh -c " to the
alias.

1fda91b511 Fix 'git log' early pager startup error case
We start the pager too early for several git commands, which results in
the errors sometimes going to the pager rather than show up as errors.

This is often hidden by the fact that we pass in '-X' to less by default,
which causes 'less' to exit for small output, but if you do

  export LESS=-S

you can then clearly see the problem by doing

  git log --prretty

which shows the error message ("fatal: unrecognized argument: --prretty")
being sent to the pager.

This happens for pretty much all git commands that use USE_PAGER, and then
check arguments separately. But "git diff" does it too early too (even
though it does an explicit setup_pager() call)

This only fixes it for the trivial "git log" family case.

by making a list in the current process and consulting that
list in git_config.

This works fine for built-ins, but the config changes are
silently ignored by subprocesses, including dashed externals
and invocations to "git config" from shell scripts.

This patch instead puts them in an environment variable
which we consult when looking at config (both internally and
via calls "git config").

ee38dfb89e git wrapper: allow setup_git_directory_gently() be called earlier
In the spirit of v1.4.2-rc3~34^2^2 (Call setup_git_directory() much
earlier, 2006-07-28), let run_builtin() take care of searching for a
repository for built-ins that want to make use of one if present.

So now you can mark your command with RUN_SETUP_GENTLY and use

	nongit = !startup_info->have_repository;

in place of

	prefix = setup_git_directory_gently(&nongit);

and everything will be the same, except the repository is
discovered a little sooner.

As v1.7.2~16^2 (2010-07-14) explains, this should allow more commands
to robustly use features like "git --paginate" that look at local
configuration before the command is actually run.

This patch sets up the infrastructure.  Later patches will teach
particular commands to use it.

e37c1329fa git wrapper: introduce startup_info struct
The startup_info struct will collect information managed by the git
setup code, such as the prefix for relative paths passed on the
command line (i.e., path to the starting cwd from the toplevel of
the work tree) and whether a git repository has been found.

In other words, startup_info is intended to be a collection of global
variables with results that were previously returned from setup
functions.  This state is global anyway (since the cwd is), even
if it is not currently tracked that way.  Letting these values persist
means there is more flexibility in deciding when to run setup.

For now, the struct is empty.

030149a4dc git --paginate: paginate external commands again
73e25e7c (git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too early,
2010-06-26) failed to take some cases into account.

1b. Builtins that do not use RUN_SETUP (like git config) do
    not find GIT_DIR set correctly when the pager is launched
    from run_builtin().  So the core.pager configuration is
    not honored from subdirectories of the toplevel for them.

4a. External git commands (like git request-pull) relied on the
    early pager launch to take care of handling the -p option.
    Ever since 73e25e7c, they do not honor the -p option at all.

4b. Commands invoked through ! aliases (like ls) were also relying
    on the early pager launch.

Fix (4a) by launching the pager (if requested) before running such a
“dashed external”.  For simplicity, this still does not search for a
.git directory before running the external command; when run from a
subdirectory of the toplevel, therefore, the “[core] pager”
configuration is still not honored.

Fix (4b) by launching pager if requested before carrying out such an
alias.  Actually doing this has no effect, since the pager (if any)
would have already been launched in a failed attempt to try a
dashed external first.  The choice-of-pager-not-honored-from-
subdirectory bug still applies here, too.

(1b) is not a regression.  There is no need to fix it yet.

Noticed by Junio.

73e25e7cc8 git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too early
When git is passed the --paginate option, starting up a pager requires
deciding what pager to start, which requires access to the core.pager
configuration.

At the relevant moment, the repository has not been searched for yet.
Attempting to access the configuration at this point results in
git_dir being set to .git [*], which is almost certainly not what was
wanted.  In particular, when run from a subdirectory of the toplevel,
git --paginate does not respect the core.pager setting from the
current repository.

[*] unless GIT_DIR or GIT_CONFIG is set

So delay the pager startup when possible:

1. run_argv() already commits pager choice inside run_builtin() if a
   command is found.  For commands that use RUN_SETUP, waiting until
   then fixes the problem described above: once git knows where to
   look, it happily respects the core.pager setting.

2. list_common_cmds_help() prints out 29 lines and exits.  This can
   benefit from pagination, so we need to commit the pager choice
   before writing this output.

   Luckily ‘git’ without subcommand has no other reason to access a
   repository, so it would be intuitive to ignore repository-local
   configuration in this case.  Simpler for now to choose a pager
   using the funny code that notices a repository that happens to be
   at .git.  That this accesses a repository when it is very
   convenient to is a bug but not an important one.

3. help_unknown_cmd() prints out a few lines to stderr.  It is not
   important to paginate this, so don’t.

678e484b7d grep: Add the option '--open-files-in-pager'
This adds an option to open the matching files in the pager, and if the
pager happens to be "less" (or "vi") and there is only one grep pattern,
it also jumps to the first match right away.

The short option was chose as '-O' to avoid clashes with GNU grep's
options (as suggested by Junio).

So, 'git grep -O abc' is a short form for 'less +/abc $(grep -l abc)'
except that it works also with spaces in file names, and it does not
start the pager if there was no matching file.

squashed in]

As part of the builtin-ification, we add the commit_notes() function

be easily used from other builtins to manipulate the notes tree.

Also includes needed changes to t3301.

b0fa7ab51b git: add --no-replace-objects option to disable replacing
Commit dae556b (environment: add global variable to disable replacement)
adds a variable to enable/disable replacement, and it is enabled by
default for most commands.

So there is no way to disable it for some commands, which is annoying
when we want to get information about a commit that has been replaced.

For example:

$ git cat-file -p N

would output information about the replacement commit if commit N is
replaced.

With the "--no-replace-objects" option that this patch adds it is
possible to get information about the original commit using:

$ git --no-replace-objects cat-file -p N

While at it, let's add some documentation about this new option in the
"git replace" man page too.

1088261f6f git-http-fetch: not a builtin
This splits up git-http-fetch so that it isn't built-in.

It also removes the general dependency on curl, because it is no
longer used by any built-in code. Because they are no longer LIB_OBJS,
add LIB_H to the dependencies of http-related object files, and remove
http.h from the dependencies of transport.o

c024beb56d run_command: report failure to execute the program, but optionally don't
In the case where a program was not found, it was still the task of the
caller to report an error to the user. Usually, this is an interesting case
but only few callers actually reported a specific error (though many call
sites report a generic error message regardless of the cause).

With this change the error is reported by run_command, but since there is
one call site in git.c that does not want that, an option is added to
struct child_process, which is used to turn the error off.

0ac77ec315 run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes
The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious
errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the
burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error
messages.

If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent
example is this:

   $ git upload-pack . | :
   fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack'

In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the
git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to
report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the
syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early.

With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the
failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the
above example the error is now to the point:

   $ git upload-pack . | :
   error: git-upload-pack died of signal

Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with
a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked
program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites
nevertheless write a generic error message.)

There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where
run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This
special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to
ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c
expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully
decoded the return value still check for this condition.

5709e0363a run_command: return exit code as positive value
As a general guideline, functions in git's code return zero to indicate
success and negative values to indicate failure. The run_command family of
functions followed this guideline. But there are actually two different
kinds of failure:

- failures of system calls;

- non-zero exit code of the program that was run.

Usually, a non-zero exit code of the program is a failure and means a
failure to the caller. Except that sometimes it does not. For example, the
exit code of merge programs (e.g. external merge drivers) conveys
information about how the merge failed, and not all exit calls are
actually failures.

Furthermore, the return value of run_command is sometimes used as exit
code by the caller.

This change arranges that the exit code of the program is returned as a
positive value, which can now be regarded as the "result" of the function.
System call failures continue to be reported as negative values.

47e3de0e79 MinGW: truncate exit()'s argument to lowest 8 bits
For some reason, MinGW's bash cannot reliably detect failure of the child
process if a negative value is passed to exit(). This fixes it by
truncating the exit code in all calls of exit().

This issue was worked around in run_builtin() of git.c (2488df84 builtin
run_command: do not exit with -1, 2007-11-15). This workaround is no longer
necessary and is reverted.

6167c13657 git.c: avoid allocating one-too-many elements for new argv array
When creating a new argv array from a configured alias and the supplied
command line arguments, the new argv was allocated with one element too
many.  Since the first element of the original argv array is skipped when
copying it to the new_argv, the number of elements that are allocated
should be reduced by one.  'count' is the number of elements that new_argv
contains, and *argcp is the number of elements in the original argv array.
So the total allocation (including the terminating NULL entry) for the
new_argv array should be:

  count + (*argcp - 1) + 1

Also, the explicit assignment of the NULL terminating entry can be avoided
by just copying it over from the original argv array.

54b0c1e041 Add new "git replace" command
This command can only be used now to list replace refs in
"refs/replace/" and to delete them.

The option to list replace refs is "-l".
The option to delete replace refs is "-d".

The behavior should be consistent with how "git tag" and "git branch"
are working.

The code has been copied from "builtin-tag.c" by Kristian Høgsberg
<krh@redhat.com> and Carlos Rica <jasampler@gmail.com> that was itself
based on git-tag.sh and mktag.c by Linus Torvalds.

1bf072e366 bisect--helper: implement "git bisect--helper"
This patch implements a new "git bisect--helper" builtin plumbing
command that will be used to migrate "git-bisect.sh" to C.

We start by implementing only the "--next-vars" option that will
read bisect refs from "refs/bisect/", and then compute the next
bisect step, and output shell variables ready to be eval'ed by
the shell.

At this step, "git bisect--helper" ignores the paths that may
have been put in "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_NAMES". This will be fixed in a
later patch.
