2272d3e542 reflog-walk: skip over double-null oid due to HEAD rename
Since 39ee4c6c2f (branch: record creation of renamed branch
in HEAD's log, 2017-02-20), a rename on the currently
checked out branch will create two entries in the HEAD
reflog: one where the branch goes away (switching to the
null oid), and one where it comes back (switching away from
the null oid).

This confuses the reflog-walk code. When walking backwards,
it first sees the null oid in the "old" field of the second
entry. Thanks to the "root commit" logic added by 71abeb753f
(reflog: continue walking the reflog past root commits,
2016-06-03), we keep looking for the next entry by scanning
the "new" field from the previous entry. But that field is
also null! We need to go just a tiny bit further, and look
at its "old" field. But with the current code, we decide the
reflog has nothing else to show and just give up. To the
user this looks like the reflog was truncated by the rename
operation, when in fact those entries are still there.

This patch does the absolute minimal fix, which is to look
back that one extra level and keep traversing.

The resulting behavior may not be the _best_ thing to do in
the long run (for example, we show both reflog entries each
with the same commit id), but it's a simple way to fix the
problem without risking further regressions.

8722947e5c t5534: fix misleading grep invocation
It seems to be a little-known feature of `grep` (and it certainly came
as a surprise to this here developer who believed to know the Unix tools
pretty well) that multiple patterns can be passed in the same
command-line argument simply by separating them by newlines. Watch, and
learn:

	$ printf '1\n2\n3\n' | grep "$(printf '1\n3\n')"
	1
	3

That behavior also extends to patterns passed via `-e`, and it is not
modified by passing the option `-E` (but trying this with -P issues the
error "grep: the -P option only supports a single pattern").

It seems that there are more old Unix hands who are surprised by this
behavior, as grep invocations of the form

	grep "$(git rev-parse A B) C" file

were introduced in a85b377d04 (push: the beginning of "git push
--signed", 2014-09-12), and later faithfully copy-edited in b9459019bb
(push: heed user.signingkey for signed pushes, 2014-10-22).

Please note that the output of `git rev-parse A B` separates the object
IDs via *newlines*, not via spaces, and those newlines are preserved
because the interpolation is enclosed in double quotes.

As a consequence, these tests try to validate that the file contains
either A's object ID, or B's object ID followed by C, or both. Clearly,
however, what the test wanted to see is that there is a line that
contains all of them.

This is clearly unintended, and the grep invocations in question really
match too many lines.

Fix the test by avoiding the newlines in the patterns.

9936c1b52a sha1dc: update from upstream
Update sha1dc from the latest version by the upstream maintainer[1].

See commit 6b851e536b ("sha1dc: update from upstream", 2017-06-06) for
the last update.

This solves the Big Endian detection on Solaris reported against
v2.13.2[2], hopefully without any regressions. A version of this has
been tested on two Solaris SPARC installations, Cygwin (by jturney on
cygwin@Freenode), and on numerous more boring systems (mainly
linux/x86_64). See [3] for a discussion of the implementation and
platform-specific issues.

See commit a0103914c2 ("sha1dc: update from upstream", 2017-05-20) and
6b851e536b ("sha1dc: update from upstream", 2017-06-06) for previous
attempts in the 2.13 series to address various compile-time feature
detection in this library.

dc4b4a61ba submodule--helper: do not call utf8_fprintf() unnecessarily
The helper function utf8_fprintf(fp, ...) has exactly the same
effect to the output stream fp as fprintf(fp, ...) does, and the
only difference is that its return value counts in display columns
consumed (assuming that the payload is encoded in UTF-8), as opposed
to number of bytes.

There is no reason to call it unless the caller cares about its

fdc1ad97c1 subtree: honour USE_ASCIIDOCTOR when set
Defining USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=1 when building Git uses asciidoctor over
asciidoc when generating DocBook and man page documentation.  However,
the contrib/subtree module does not presently honour that flag.

This causes a build failure when asciidoc is not present on the build
system.  Instead, adapt the main Documentation/Makefile logic to use
asciidoctor when requested.

df801f3f9f read-cache: use shared perms when writing shared index
Since f6ecc62dbf (write_shared_index(): use tempfile module, 2015-08-10)
write_shared_index() has been using mks_tempfile() to create the
temporary file that will become the shared index.

But even before that, it looks like the functions used to create this
file didn't call adjust_shared_perm(), which means that the shared
index file has always been created with 600 permissions regardless
of the shared permission settings.

Because of that, on repositories created with `git init --shared=all`
and using the split index feature, one gets an error like:

fatal: .git/sharedindex.a52f910b489bc462f187ab572ba0086f7b5157de: index file open failed: Permission denied

when another user performs any operation that reads the shared index.

Call adjust_shared_perm() on the temporary file created by
mks_tempfile() ourselves to adjust the permission bits.

Since c9d961647 (i18n: add--interactive: mark

when the user asks to edit a hunk manually, we respect
core.commentChar in generating the edit instructions.
However, when we then strip out comment lines, we use a
simple regex like:

  /^$commentChar/

If your chosen comment character is a regex metacharacter,
then that will behave in a confusing manner ("$", for
instance, would only eliminate blank lines, not actual
comment lines).

We can fix that by telling perl not to respect
metacharacters.

The prompt_yesno function loops indefinitely waiting for a
"y" or "n" response. But it doesn't handle EOF, meaning
that we can end up in an infinite loop of reading EOF from
stdin. One way to simulate that is with:

  echo e | GIT_EDITOR='echo corrupt >' git add -p

Let's break out of the loop and propagate the undef to the
caller. Without modifying the callers that effectively turns
it into a "no" response. This is reasonable for both of the
current callers, and it leaves room for any future caller to
check for undef explicitly.

early config machinery and then call setup_git_directory_gently() in the
case of a shell alias, repeating the very same discovery *again*.
However, we have to do this as the early config machinery takes pains
*not* to touch any global state, while shell aliases expect a possibly
changed working directory and at least the GIT_PREFIX and GIT_DIR
variables to be set.

This change also fixes a known issue where Git tried to read the pager
config from an incorrect path in a subdirectory of a Git worktree if an
alias expanded to a shell command.

3f9c5dfb71 t7006: demonstrate a problem with aliases in subdirectories
When expanding aliases, the git_dir is set during the alias expansion
(by virtue of running setup_git_directory_gently()).

This git_dir may be relative to the current working directory, and
indeed often is simply ".git/".

When the alias expands to a shell command, we restore the original
working directory, though, yet we do not reset git_dir.

As a consequence, subsequent read_early_config() runs will mistake the
git_dir to be populated properly and not find the correct config.

Demonstrate this problem by adding a test case.

e4feff4898 t1308: relax the test verifying that empty alias values are disallowed
We are about to change the way aliases are expanded, to use the early
config machinery.

This machinery reports errors in a slightly different manner than the
cached config machinery.

Let's not get hung up by the precise wording of the message mentioning
the line number. It is really sufficient to verify that all the relevant
information is given to the user.

659fef199f help: use early config when autocorrecting aliases
Git has this feature which suggests similar commands (including aliases)
in case the user specified an unknown command.

This feature currently relies on a side effect of the way we expand
aliases right now: when a command is not a builtin, we use the regular
config machinery (meaning: discovering the .git/ directory and
initializing global state such as the config cache) to see whether the
command refers to an alias.

However, we will change the way aliases are expanded in the next
commits, to use the early config instead. That means that the
autocorrect feature can no longer discover the available aliases by
looking at the config cache (because it has not yet been initialized).

So let's just use the early config machinery instead.

This is slightly less performant than the previous way, as the early
config is used *twice*: once to see whether the command refers to an
alias, and then to see what aliases are most similar. However, this is
hardly a performance-critical code path, so performance is less important
here.

e2e1425107 config: report correct line number upon error
When get_value() parses a key/value pair, it is possible that the line
number is decreased (because the \n has been consumed already) before the
key/value pair is passed to the callback function, to allow for the
correct line to be attributed in case of an error.

However, when git_parse_source() asks get_value() to parse the key/value
pair, the error reporting is performed *after* get_value() returns.

Which means that we have to be careful not to increase the line number
in get_value() after the callback function returned an error.

69743f9b4f discover_git_directory(): avoid setting invalid git_dir
When discovering a .git/ directory, we take pains to ensure that its
repository format version matches Git's expectations, and we return NULL
otherwise.

However, we still appended the invalid path to the strbuf passed as
argument.

Let's just reset the strbuf to the state before we appended the .git/
directory that was eventually rejected.

There is another early return path in that function, when
setup_git_directory_gently_1() returns GIT_DIR_NONE or an error. In that
case, the gitdir parameter has not been touched, therefore there is no
need for an equivalent change in that code path.

0c977dbc81 diff-highlight: split code into module
The diff-so-fancy project is also written in perl, and most
of its users pipe diffs through both diff-highlight and
diff-so-fancy. It would be nice if this could be done in a
single script. So let's pull most of diff-highlight's code
into its own module which can be used by diff-so-fancy.

In addition, we'll abstract a few basic items like reading
from stdio so that a script using the module can do more
processing before or after diff-highlight handles the lines.
See the README update for more details.

One small downside is that the diff-highlight script must
now be built using the Makefile. There are ways around this,
but it quickly gets into perl arcana. Let's go with the
simple solution. As a bonus, our Makefile now respects the
PERL_PATH variable if it is set.

fe9e2aefd4 pretty: recalculate duplicate short hashes
b9c6232138 (--format=pretty: avoid calculating expensive expansions
twice) optimized adding short hashes multiple times by using the
fact that the output strbuf was only ever simply appended to and
copying the added string from the previous run.  That prerequisite
is no longer given; we now have modfiers like %< and %+ that can
cause the cache to lose track of the correct offsets.  Remove it.

773a88914f doc: do not use rm .git/index when normalizing line endings
When illustrating how to normalize the line endings, the
documentation in gitattributes tells the user to `rm .git/index`.

This is incorrect for two reasons:

 - Users shouldn't be instructed to mess around with the internal
   implementation of Git using raw file system tools like `rm`.

 - Within a submodule or an additional working tree `.git` is just a
   file containing a `gitdir: <path>` pointer into the real `.git`
   directory.  Therefore `rm .git/index` does not work.

The purpose of the `rm .git/index` instruction is to remove all entries
from the index without touching the working tree.  The way to do this
with Git is to use `read-tree --empty`.
