e980765c59 git-pull: Avoid merge-base on detached head
git pull --rebase does some clever tricks to find the base
for $upstream, but it forgets that we may not have any
branch at all.  When this happens, git merge-base reports its
"usage" help in the middle of an otherwise successful
rebase operation, because git-merge is called with one too
few parameters.

Since we do not need the merge-base trick in the case of a
detached HEAD, detect this condition and bypass the clever
trick and the usage noise.

e895589883 git-config: use git_config_with_options
The git-config command has always implemented its own file
lookup and parsing order. This was necessary because its
duplicate-entry handling did not match the way git's
internal callbacks worked. Now that this is no longer the
case, we are free to reuse the existing parsing code.

This saves us a few lines of code, but most importantly, it
means that the logic for which files are examined is
contained only in one place and cannot diverge.

00b347d3aa git-config: do not complain about duplicate entries
If git-config is asked for a single value, it will complain
and exit with an error if it finds multiple instances of
that value. This is unlike the usual internal config
parsing, however, which will generally overwrite previous
values, leaving only the final one. For example:

  [set a multivar]
  $ git config user.email one@example.com
  $ git config --add user.email two@example.com

  [use the internal parser to fetch it]
  $ git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
  Your Name <two@example.com> ...

  [use git-config to fetch it]
  $ git config user.email
  one@example.com
  error: More than one value for the key user.email: two@example.com

This overwriting behavior is critical for the regular
parser, which starts with the lowest-priority file (e.g.,
/etc/gitconfig) and proceeds to the highest-priority file
($GIT_DIR/config). Overwriting yields the highest priority
value at the end.

Git-config solves this problem by implementing its own
parsing. It goes from highest to lowest priorty, but does
not proceed to the next file if it has seen a value.

So in practice, this distinction never mattered much,
because it only triggered for values in the same file. And
there was not much point in doing that; the real value is in
overwriting values from lower-priority files.

However, this changed with the implementation of config
include files. Now we might see an include overriding a
value from the parent file, which is a sensible thing to do,
but git-config will flag as a duplication.

This patch drops the duplicate detection for git-config and
switches to a pure-overwrite model (for the single case;
--get-all can still be used if callers want to do something
more fancy).

As is shown by the modifications to the test suite, this is
a user-visible change in behavior. An alternative would be
to just change the include case, but this is much cleaner
for a few reasons:

  1. If you change the include case, then to what? If you
     just stop parsing includes after getting a value, then
     you will get a _different_ answer than the regular
     config parser (you'll get the first value instead of
     the last value). So you'd want to implement overwrite
     semantics anyway.

  2. Even though it is a change in behavior for git-config,
     it is bringing us in line with what the internal
     parsers already do.

  3. The file-order reimplementation is the only thing
     keeping us from sharing more code with the internal
     config parser, which will help keep differences to a
     minimum.

Going under the assumption that the primary purpose of
git-config is to behave identically to how git's internal
parsing works, this change can be seen as a bug-fix.

7acdd6f0bc git-config: collect values instead of immediately printing
This is a refactor that will allow us to more easily tweak
the behavior for multi-valued variables, and it will
ultimately allow us to remove a lot git-config's custom code
in favor of the regular git_config code.

It does mean we're no longer streaming, and we're storing
more in memory for the --get-all case, but in practice it is
a tiny amount of data, and the results are instantaneous.

97ed50f93b git-config: fix regexp memory leaks on error conditions
The get_value function has a goto label for cleaning up on
errors, but it only cleans up half of what the function
might allocate. Let's also clean up the key and regexp
variables there.

Note that we need to take special care when compiling the
regex fails to clean it up ourselves, since it is in a
half-constructed state (we would want to free it, but not
regfree it).

Similarly, we fix git_config_parse_key to return NULL when
it fails, not a pointer to some already-freed memory.

ed838e6615 t1300: style updates
The t1300 test script is quite old, and does not use our
modern techniques or styles. This patch updates it in the
following ways:

  1. Use test_cmp instead of cmp (to make failures easier to
     debug).

  2. Use test_cmp instead of 'test $(command) = expected'.
     This makes failures much easier to debug, and also
     makes sure that $(command) exits appropriately.

  3. Use test_must_fail (easier to read, and checks more
     rigorously for signal death).

  4. Write tests with the usual style of:

       test_expect_success 'test name' '
               test commands &&
	       ...
       '

     rather than one-liners, or using backslash-continuation.
     This is purely a style fixup.

There are still a few command happening outside of
test_expect invocations, but they are all innoccuous system
commands like "cat" and "cp". In an ideal world, each test
would be self sufficient and all commands would happen
inside test_expect, but it is not immediately obvious how
the grouping should work (some of the commands impact the
subsequent tests, and some of them are setting up and
modifying state that many tests depend on). This patch just
picks the low-hanging style fruit, and we can do more fixes
on top later.

7202b81ffc Fix potential hang in https handshake
It has been observed that curl_multi_timeout may return a very long
timeout value (e.g., 294 seconds and some usec) just before
curl_multi_fdset returns no file descriptors for reading.  The
upshot is that select() will hang for a long time -- long enough for
an https handshake to be dropped.  The observed behavior is that
the git command will hang at the terminal and never transfer any
data.

This patch is a workaround for a probable bug in libcurl.  The bug
only seems to manifest around a very specific set of circumstances:

- curl version (from curl/curlver.h):

 #define LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM 0x071307

- git-remote-https running on an ubuntu-lucid VM.
- Connecting through squid proxy running on another VM.

Interestingly, the problem doesn't manifest if a host connects
through squid proxy running on localhost; only if the proxy is on
a separate VM (not sure if the squid host needs to be on a separate
physical machine).  That would seem to suggest that this issue
is timing-sensitive.

This patch is more or less in line with a recommendation in the
curl docs about how to behave when curl_multi_fdset doesn't return
and file descriptors:

3c730fab2c filter-branch: use git-sh-setup's ident parsing functions
This saves us some code, but it also reduces the number of
processes we start for each filtered commit. Since we can
parse both author and committer in the same sed invocation,
we save one process. And since the new interface avoids tr,
we save 4 processes.

It also avoids using "tr", which has had some odd
portability problems reported with from Solaris's xpg6
version.

We also tweak one of the tests in t7003 to double-check that
we are properly exporting the variables (because test-lib.sh
exports GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, it will be automatically exported
in subprograms. We override this to make sure that
filter-branch handles it properly itself).

  1. It takes a commit as an argument, and can't read from

  2. It will only parse authors, not committers.

f3f47a1e8d status: add --long output format option
You can currently set the output format to --short or
--porcelain. There is no --long, because we default to it
already. However, you may want to override an alias that
uses "--short" to get back to the default.

This requires a little bit of refactoring, because currently
we use STATUS_FORMAT_LONG internally to mean the same as
"the user did not specify anything". By expanding the enum
to include STATUS_FORMAT_NONE, we can distinguish between
the implicit and explicit cases. This effects these
conditions:

  1. The user has asked for NUL termination. With NONE, we
     currently default to turning on the porcelain mode.
     With an explicit --long, we would in theory use NUL
     termination with the long mode, but it does not support
     it. So we can just complain and die.

  2. When an output format is given to "git commit", we
     default to "--dry-run". This behavior would now kick in
     when "--long" is given, too.

0fe700e311 branch: skip commit checks when deleting symref branches
Before a branch is deleted, we check that it points to a valid
commit.  With -d we also check that the commit is a merged; this
check is not done with -D.

The reason for that is that commits pointed to by branches should
never go missing; if they do then something broke and it's better
to stop instead of adding to the mess.  And a non-merged commit
may contain changes that are worth preserving, so we require the
stronger option -D instead of -d to get rid of them.

If a branch consists of a symref, these concerns don't apply.
Deleting such a branch can't make a commit become unreferenced,
so we don't need to check if it is merged, or even if it is
actually a valid commit.  Skip them in that case.  This allows
us to delete dangling symref branches.

566c7707db branch: delete symref branch, not its target
If a branch that is to be deleted happens to be a symref to another
branch, the current code removes the targeted branch instead of the
one it was called for.

Change this surprising behaviour and delete the symref branch
instead.

25dc8dad3a format-patch tests: check quoting/encoding in To: and Cc: headers
git-format-patch does currently not parse user supplied extra header
values (e. g., --cc, --add-header) and just replays them. That forces
users to add them RFC 2822/2047 conform in encoded form, e.g.

    --cc '=?UTF-8?q?Jan=20H=2E=20Sch=C3=B6nherr?= <...>'

which is inconvenient. We would want to update git-format-patch to
accept human-readable input

    --cc 'Jan H. Schönherr <...>'

and handle the encoding, wrapping and quoting internally in the future,
similar to what is already done in git-send-email. The necessary code
should mostly exist in the code paths that handle the From: and Subject:
headers.

Whether we want to do this only for the git-format-patch options
--to and --cc (and the corresponding config options) or also for
user supplied headers via --add-header, is open for discussion.

For now, add test_expect_failure tests for To: and Cc: headers as a
reminder and fix tests that would otherwise fail should this get
implemented.
