49d6cfa5c2 config: do not use C function names as struct members
According to C99, section 7.1.4:

  Any function declared in a header may be additionally
  implemented as a function-like macro defined in the
  header.

Therefore calling our struct member function pointer "fgetc"
may run afoul of unwanted macro expansion when we call:

  char c = cf->fgetc(cf);

This turned out to be a problem on uclibc, which defines
fgetc as a macro and causes compilation failure.

The standard suggests fixing this in a few ways:

  1. Using extra parentheses to inhibit the function-like
     macro expansion. E.g., "(cf->fgetc)(cf)". This is
     undesirable as it's ugly, and each call site needs to
     remember to use it (and on systems without the macro,
     forgetting will compile just fine).

  2. Using #undef (because a conforming implementation must
     also be providing fgetc as a function). This is
     undesirable because presumably the implementation was
     using the macro for a performance benefit, and we are
     dropping that optimization.

Instead, we can simply use non-colliding names.

75c6976655 rebase -i: fix short SHA-1 collision
The 'todo' sheet for interactive rebase shows abbreviated SHA-1's and
then performs its operations upon those shortened values. This can lead
to an abort if the SHA-1 of a reworded or edited commit is no longer
unique within the abbreviated SHA-1 space and a subsequent SHA-1 in the
todo list has the same abbreviated value.

For example:

  edit f00dfad first
  pick badbeef second

If, after editing, the new SHA-1 of "first" also has prefix badbeef,
then the subsequent 'pick badbeef second' will fail since badbeef is no
longer a unique SHA-1 abbreviation:

  error: short SHA1 badbeef is ambiguous.
  fatal: Needed a single revision
  Invalid commit name: badbeef

Fix this problem by expanding the SHA-1's in the todo list before
performing the operations.

[es: also collapse & expand SHA-1's for --edit-todo; respect
core.commentchar in transform_todo_ids(); compose commit message]

commit's message.

31cd827525 t3404: make tests more self-contained
As its very first action, t3404 installs (via set_fake_editor) a
specialized $EDITOR which simplifies automated 'rebase -i' testing. Many
tests rely upon this setting, thus tests which need a different editor
must take extra care upon completion to restore $EDITOR in order to
avoid breaking following tests. This places extra burden upon such tests
and requires that they undesirably have extra knowledge about
surrounding tests. Ease this burden by having each test install the
$EDITOR it requires, rather than relying upon a global setting.

6da8bdcbbf fetch-pack: do not remove .git/shallow file when --depth is not specified
fetch_pack() can remove .git/shallow file when a shallow repository
becomes a full one again. This behavior is triggered incorrectly when
tags are also fetched because fetch_pack() will be called twice. At
the first fetch_pack() call:

 - shallow_lock is set up
 - alternate_shallow_file points to shallow_lock.filename, which is
   "shallow.lock"
 - commit_lock_file is called, which sets shallow_lock.filename to "".
   alternate_shallow_file also becomes "" because it points to the
   same memory.

At the second call, setup_alternate_shallow() is not called and
alternate_shallow_file remains "". It's mistaken as unshallow case and
.git/shallow is removed. The end result is a broken repository.

Fix this by always initializing alternate_shallow_file when
fetch_pack() is called. As an extra measure, check if args->depth > 0
before commit/rollback shallow file.

ea16794e43 commit: search author pattern against mailmap
"git commit --author=$name" sets the author to one whose name
matches the given string from existing commits, when $name is not in
the "Name <e-mail>" format. However, it does not honor the mailmap
to use the canonical name for the author found this way.

Fix it by telling the logic to find a matching existing author to
honor the mailmap, and use the name and email after applying the
mailmap.

680be044d9 dir.c::test_one_path(): work around directory_exists_in_index_icase() breakage
directory_exists_in_index() takes pathname and its length, but its
helper function directory_exists_in_index_icase() reads one byte
beyond the end of the pathname and expects there to be a '/'.

This needs to be fixed, as that one-byte-beyond-the-end location may
not even be readable, possibly by not registering directories to
name hashes with trailing slashes.  In the meantime, update the new
caller added recently to treat_one_path() to make sure that the path
buffer it gives the function is one byte longer than the path it is
asking the function about by appending a slash to it.

a44aa6930c contrib/git-prompt.sh: handle missing 'printf -v' more gracefully
Old Bash (3.0) which is distributed with RHEL 4.X and other ancient
platforms that are still in wide use, do not have a printf that
supports -v.  Neither does Zsh (which is already handled in the code).

As suggested by Junio, let's test whether printf supports the -v
option and store the result.  Then later, we can use it to
determine whether 'printf -v' can be used, or whether printf
must be called in a subshell.

0b6806b9e4 xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MB
Checking out 2GB or more through an external filter (see test) fails
on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) for a 64-bit executable with:

    error: read from external filter cat failed
    error: cannot feed the input to external filter cat
    error: cat died of signal 13
    error: external filter cat failed 141
    error: external filter cat failed

The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked
to read more than 2GB.  According to POSIX [1], if the value of
nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is
implementation-defined.  The write function has the same restriction
[2].  Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the
32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also
imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions.  For write,
the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a].

Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting
size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and
xwrite().  Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies
when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy.  Doing IO in
reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on
performance.

The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is
not needed anymore.  It will be reverted in a separate commit.  The
new test catches read and write problems.

Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors
to stderr.  The test, therefore, checks stderr.  'git add' should
probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with
nonzero if filtering fails.  The test could then be changed to use
test_must_fail.

4b05440283 avoid segfault on submodule.*.path set to an empty "true"
Git fails due to a segmentation fault if a submodule path is empty.
Here is an example .gitmodules that will cause a segmentation fault:

    [submodule "foo-module"]
      path
      url = http://host/repo.git
    $ git status
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This is because the parsing of "submodule.*.path" is not prepared to
see a value-less "true" and assumes that the value is always
non-NULL (parsing of "ignore" has the same problem).

Fix it by checking the NULL-ness of value and complain with
config_error_nonbool().

2eac2a4cc4 ls-files -k: a directory only can be killed if the index has a non-directory
"ls-files -o" and "ls-files -k" both traverse the working tree down
to find either all untracked paths or those that will be "killed"
(removed from the working tree to make room) when the paths recorded
in the index are checked out.  It is necessary to traverse the
working tree fully when enumerating all the "other" paths, but when
we are only interested in "killed" paths, we can take advantage of
the fact that paths that do not overlap with entries in the index
can never be killed.

The treat_one_path() helper function, which is called during the
recursive traversal, is the ideal place to implement an
optimization.

When we are looking at a directory P in the working tree, there are
three cases:

 (1) P exists in the index.  Everything inside the directory P in
     the working tree needs to go when P is checked out from the
     index.

 (2) P does not exist in the index, but there is P/Q in the index.
     We know P will stay a directory when we check out the contents
     of the index, but we do not know yet if there is a directory
     P/Q in the working tree to be killed, so we need to recurse.

 (3) P does not exist in the index, and there is no P/Q in the index
     to require P to be a directory, either.  Only in this case, we
     know that everything inside P will not be killed without
     recursing.

Note that this helper is called by treat_leading_path() that decides
if we need to traverse only subdirectories of a single common
leading directory, which is essential for this optimization to be
correct.  This caller checks each level of the leading path
component from shallower directory to deeper ones, and that is what
allows us to only check if the path appears in the index.  If the
call to treat_one_path() weren't there, given a path P/Q/R, the real
traversal may start from directory P/Q/R, even when the index
records P as a regular file, and we would end up having to check if
any leading subpath in P/Q/R, e.g. P, appears in the index.

This mistake went unnoticed because existing callers of opterror()
utilize its return value.  1158826394 (parse-options: add

This is with mostly minor documentation and test updates, nothing
spectacular except for removal of funky lstat(2) emulation on Cygwin.

b26ed4305f fetch: work around "transport-take-over" hack
A Git-aware "connect" transport allows the "transport_take_over" to
redirect generic transport requests like fetch(), push_refs() and
get_refs_list() to the native Git transport handling methods.  The
take-over process replaces transport->data with a fake data that
these method implementations understand.

While this hack works OK for a single request, it breaks when the
transport needs to make more than one requests.  transport->data
that used to hold necessary information for the specific helper to
work correctly is destroyed during the take-over process.

One codepath that this matters is "git fetch" in auto-follow mode;
when it does not get all the tags that ought to point at the history
it got (which can be determined by looking at the peeled tags in the
initial advertisement) from the primary transfer, it internally
makes a second request to complete the fetch.  Because "take-over"
hack has already destroyed the data necessary to talk to the
transport helper by the time this happens, the second request cannot
make a request to the helper to make another connection to fetch
these additional tags.

Mark such a transport as "cannot_reuse", and use a separate
transport to perform the backfill fetch in order to work around
this breakage.

Note that this problem does not manifest itself when running t5802,
because our upload-pack gives you all the necessary auto-followed
tags during the primary transfer.  You would need to step through
"git fetch" in a debugger, stop immediately after the primary
transfer finishes and writes these auto-followed tags, remove the
tag references and repack/prune the repository to convince the
"find-non-local-tags" procedure that the primary transfer failed to
give us all the necessary tags, and then let it continue, in order
to trigger the bug in the secondary transfer this patch fixes.

069d503202 fetch: refactor code that fetches leftover tags
Usually the upload-pack process running on the other side will give
us all the reachable tags we need during the primary object transfer
in do_fetch().  If that does not happen (e.g. the other side may be
running a third-party implementation of upload-pack), we will run
another fetch to pick up leftover tags that we know point at the
commits reachable from our updated tips.

Separate out the code to run this second fetch into a helper
function.

Make a helper function prepare_transport() that returns a transport
to talk to a given remote.

The set_option() helper that used to always affect the file-scope

af23445925 fetch: rename file-scope global "transport" to "gtransport"
Although many functions in this file take a "struct transport" as a
parameter, "fetch_one()" assigns to the global singleton instance
which is a file-scope static, in order to allow a parameterless
signal handler unlock_pack() to access it.

Rename the variable to gtransport to make sure these uses stand out.

b9ccf55e06 t5802: add test for connect helper
This is an attempt to reproduce a problem reported for a third-party
custom "connect" remote helper.  The conjecture is that sometimes
"git fetch" wants to make two connections (one for the primary
transfer with 'follow-tags' option set, and then after noticing that
some tags are not packed because the primary transfer did not have
to send any commit that is pointed by them, another to explicitly
ask for the missing tags), and their "connect" helper is not called
in the second request, breaking the "fetch" as a whole.

Unfortunately this test script does not trigger the alleged failure
and happily passes when talking to upload-pack from git-core (see
patch 5/5 for details).
