The error handling for git_config is somewhat confusing. We
collect errors from running git_config_from_file on the
various config files and carefully pass them back up. But
the two odd things are:
1. We actually die on most errors in git_config_from_file.
In fact, the only error we actually pass back up is if
fopen() fails on the file.
2. Most callers of git_config do not check the error
return at all, but will continue if git_config reports
an error.
When the code for "git -c core.foo=bar" was added, it
dutifully passed errors up the call stack, only for them to
be eventually ignored. This makes it inconsistent with the
file-parsing code, which will die when it sees malformed
config. And it's somewhat unsafe, because it means an error
in parsing a typo like:
git -c clean.requireforce=ture clean
will continue the command, ignoring the config the user
tried to give.

If you do something like:
git -c core.foo="value with = in it" ...
we would split your option on "=" into three fields and
throw away the third one. With this patch we correctly take
everything after the first "=" as the value (keys cannot
have an equals sign in them, so the parsing is unambiguous).

On Cygwin, this fixes a test failure in t3301-notes.sh (test 98,
"git notes copy --for-rewrite (disabled)").
The test failure is caused by a recursive call to git_config() which
has the effect of skipping to the end-of-file while processing the
"notes.rewriteref" config variable. Thus, any config variables that
appear after "notes.rewriteref" are simply ignored by git_config().
Also, we note that the original FILE handle is leaked as a result
of the recursive call.
The recursive call to git_config() is due to the "schizophrenic stat"
functions on cygwin, where one of two different implementations of
the l/stat functions is selected lazily, depending on some config
variables.
In this case, the init_copy_notes_for_rewrite() function calls
git_config() with the notes_rewrite_config() callback function.
This callback, while processing the "notes.rewriteref" variable,
in turn calls string_list_add_refs_by_glob() to process the
associated ref value. This eventually leads to a call to the
get_ref_dir() function, which in turn calls stat(). On cygwin,
the stat() macro leads to an indirect call to cygwin_stat_stub()
which, via init_stat(), then calls git_config() in order to
determine which l/stat implementation to bind to.
In order to solve this problem, we modify git_config() so that the
global state variables used by the config reading code is packaged
up and managed on a local state stack.

Previously we parsed GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS lazily into a
linked list, and then checked that list during future
invocations of git_config. However, that ignores the fact
that the environment variable could change during our run
(e.g., because we parse more "-c" as part of an alias).
Instead, let's just re-parse the environment variable each
time. It's generally not very big, and it's no more work
than parsing the config files, anyway.
As a bonus, we can ditch all of the linked list storage code
entirely, making the code much simpler.
The test unfortunately still does not pass because of an

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.

Users are sometimes confused with two different types of "tracking" behavior
in Git: "remote-tracking" branches (e.g. refs/remotes/*/*) versus the
merge/rebase relationship between a local branch and its @{upstream}
(controlled by branch.foo.remote and branch.foo.merge config settings).
When the push.default is set to 'tracking', it specifies that a branch should
be pushed to its @{upstream} branch. In other words, setting push.default to
'tracking' applies only to the latter of the above two types of "tracking"
behavior.
In order to make this more understandable to the user, we rename the
push.default == 'tracking' option to push.default == 'upstream'.

This function recently gained the ability to recognize the documented "0"

did not treat arbitrary non-zero numbers as true.
While this is undocumented and probably ridiculous for somebody to rely
on, it is safer to behave exactly as git_config_bool would. Because
git_config_maybe_bool can be used to retrofit new non-bool values onto
existing bool options, not behaving in exactly the same way is technically

We explicitly document "0" and "1" as synonyms for "false"
and "true" in boolean config options. However, we don't
actually handle those values in git_config_maybe_bool.
In most cases this works fine, as we call git_config_bool,
which in turn calls git_config_bool_or_int, which in turn
calls git_config_maybe_bool. Values of 0/1 are considered
"not bool", but their integer values end up being converted
to the corresponding boolean values.
However, the log.decorate code looks for maybe_bool
explicitly, so that it can fall back to the "short" and
"full" strings. It does not handle 0/1 at all, and considers
them invalid values.
We cannot simply add 0/1 support to git_config_maybe_bool.
That would confuse git_config_bool_or_int, which may want to
distinguish the integer values "0" and "1" from bools.

to make the object name currently unique, in the hope that its output will

The git_config() function signals error by returning -1 in
two instances:
1. An actual error occurs in opening a config file (parse
errors cause an immediate die).
2. Of the three possible config files, none was found.
However, this second case is often not an error at all; it
simply means that the user has no configuration (they are
outside a repo, and they have no ~/.gitconfig file). This
can lead to confusing errors, such as when the bash
completion calls "git config --list" outside of a repo. If
the user has a ~/.gitconfig, the command completes
succesfully; if they do not, it complains to stderr.
This patch allows callers of git_config to distinguish
between the two cases. Error is signaled by -1, and
otherwise the return value is the number of files parsed.
This means that the traditional "git_config(...) < 0" check
for error should work, but callers who want to know whether
we parsed any files or not can still do so.

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

get_commit_notes(): Plug memory leak when 'if' triggers, but not because of read_sha1_file() failure
In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:
- write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+ strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+ write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+ strbuf_reset(&buf);
IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,
static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
{
return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
}
and then use it like this:
- strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
- write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
- strbuf_reset(&buf);
+ write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");
Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.
Transformed via this:
perl -pi -e \
's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\

Configuration values are expected to be quoted when they have leading or

the value is not quoted. This is already documented in git-config(1), but
the code caused inner whitespace to be collapsed to a single space,

in it, as future fetches would only see a single space.

It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.
It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.
As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.
At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

When interpreting a config value, the config parser reads in 1+ space
character(s) and puts -one- space character in the buffer as soon as
the first non-space character is encountered (if not inside quotes).
Unfortunately the buffer size check lacks the extra space character
which gets inserted at the next non-space character, resulting in
a crash with a specially crafted config entry.
The unit test now uses Java to compile a platform independent
.NET framework to output the test string in C# :o)
Read: Thanks to Johannes Sixt for the correct printf call
which replaces the perl invocation.

Btw, while doing this, I also though that "renames = on/off" made more
sense, but while we allow yes/no and true/false for booleans, we don't
allow on/off.
Should we? Maybe. Here's a stupid patch.

git_config(): not having a per-repo config file is not an error
When "git push" is not told what refspecs to push, it pushes all matching
branches to the current remote. For some workflows this default is not
useful, and surprises new users. Some have even found that this default
behaviour is too easy to trigger by accident with unwanted consequences.
Introduce a new configuration variable "push.default" that decides what
action git push should take if no refspecs are given or implied by the
command line arguments or the current remote configuration.
Possible values are:
'nothing' : Push nothing;
'matching' : Current default behaviour, push all branches that already
exist in the current remote;
'tracking' : Push the current branch to whatever it is tracking;
'current' : Push the current branch to a branch of the same name,
i.e. HEAD.

Currently git_config() returns an error if there is no repo config file
available (cwd is not a git repo); it will correctly parse the system
and global config files, but still return an error.
It doesn't affect anything else since almost nobody is checking for the
return code (with the exception of 'git remote update').
A reorganization in 'git config' would benefit from being able to
properly detect errors in git_config() without the noise generated when
cwd is not a git repo.

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

This can do the lstat() storm in parallel, giving potentially much
improved performance for cold-cache cases or things like NFS that have
weak metadata caching.
Just use "read_cache_preload()" instead of "read_cache()" to force an
optimistic preload of the index stat data. The function takes a
pathspec as its argument, allowing us to preload only the relevant
portion of the index.

A new configuration variable 'core.trustctime' is introduced to
allow ignoring st_ctime information when checking if paths
in the working tree has changed, because there are situations where
it produces too much false positives. Like when file system crawlers
keep changing it when scanning and using the ctime for marking scanned
files.
The default is to notice ctime changes.

Expanding system paths relative to git_exec_path can be used for
creating an installation that can be moved to a different directory
without re-compiling. We use this approach for template_dir and the
system wide gitconfig. The Windows installer (msysgit) is an example
for such a setup.
This commit moves common code to a new function system_path(). System
paths that are to be interpreted relative to git_exec_path are passed to
system_path() and the return value is used instead of the original path.
system_path() prefixes a relative path with git_exec_path and leaves
absolute paths unmodified. For example, we now write
template_dir = system_path(DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR);

For everything other than using "git config" to read or write a
git-style config file that isn't the current repo's config file,
GIT_CONFIG was actively detrimental. Rather than argue over which
programs are important enough to have work anyway, just fix all of
them at the root.
Also removes GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, which would only be useful for programs
that do want to use global git-specific config, but not the repo's own
git-specific config, and want to use some other, presumably
git-specific config. Despite being documented, I can't find any sign that
it was ever used.

Split up default "i18n" and "branch" config parsing into helper routines
Split up default "user" config parsing into helper routine
Split up default "core" config parsing into helper routine
As explained in the documentation[*] this is totally useless on
filesystems that do ordered/journalled data writes, but it can be a
useful safety feature on filesystems like HFS+ that only journal the
metadata, not the actual file contents.
It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day
auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis.
[*] Yes, I updated the docs for the thing. Hell really _has_ frozen
over, and the four horsemen are probably just beyond the horizon.
