The motivation of this patch is to get closer to a goal of being
able to have a core subset of git functionality built in to git.
That would mean
* people on Windows could get a copy of at least the core parts
of Git without having to install a Unix-style shell
* people using git in on servers with chrooted environments
do not need to worry about standard tools lacking for shell
scripts.
This patch is meant to be mostly a literal translation of the
git-repack script; the intent is that later patches would start using
more library facilities, but this patch is meant to be as close to a
no-op as possible so it doesn't do that kind of thing.

This is similar in spirit to "make -C dir ..." and "tar -C dir ...".
It takes more keypresses to invoke git command in a different
directory without leaving the current directory:
1. (cd ~/foo && git status)
git --git-dir=~/foo/.git --work-dir=~/foo status
GIT_DIR=~/foo/.git GIT_WORK_TREE=~/foo git status
2. (cd ../..; git grep foo)
3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do (cd $d && git svn rebase); done
The methods shown above are acceptable for scripting but are too
cumbersome for quick command line invocations.
With this new option, the above can be done with fewer keystrokes:
1. git -C ~/foo status
2. git -C ../.. grep foo
3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do git -C $d svn rebase; done
A new test script is added to verify the behavior of this option with
other path-related options like --git-dir and --work-tree.

A new command to allow scripts to query the mailmap information.
* es/check-mailmap:
t4203: test check-mailmap command invocation
builtin: add git-check-mailmap command
When "git" is spawned in such a way that any of the low 3 file
descriptors is closed, our first open() may yield file descriptor 2,
and writing error message to it would screw things up in a big way.
* tr/protect-low-3-fds:

Not having an open FD in the 0--2 range can lead to strange results,
for example, a subsequent open() may return 2 (stderr) and then a
die() would clobber this file.
git-daemon and git-shell already guarded against this, but apparently
users also manage to trip over it in other git commands. So we call
sanitize_stdfds() during main git startup.
Since these FDs are inherited, this covers all use of 'git foo ...',
and all internal C commands when called directly. It does not fix
shell/perl commands called directly.

:(glob)path differs from plain pathspec that it uses wildmatch with
WM_PATHNAME while the other uses fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME. The
difference lies in how '*' (and '**') is processed.
With the introduction of :(glob) and :(literal) and their global
options --[no]glob-pathspecs, the user can:
- make everything literal by default via --noglob-pathspecs
--literal-pathspecs cannot be used for this purpose as it
disables _all_ pathspec magic.
- individually turn on globbing with :(glob)
- make everything globbing by default via --glob-pathspecs
- individually turn off globbing with :(literal)
The implication behind this is, there is no way to gain the default
matching behavior (i.e. fnmatch without FNM_PATHNAME). You either get
new globbing or literal. The old fnmatch behavior is considered
deprecated and discouraged to use.

Sparse issues 68 errors (two errors for each main() function) such
as the following:
SP git.c
git.c:510:5: error: too many arguments for function mingw_main
git.c:510:5: error: symbol 'mingw_main' redeclared with different type \
(originally declared at git.c:510) - different argument counts
The errors are caused by the 'main' macro used by the MinGW build
to provide a replacement main() function. The original main function
is effectively renamed to 'mingw_main' and is called from the new
main function. The replacement main is used to execute certain actions
common to all git programs on MinGW (e.g. ensure the standard I/O
streams are in binary mode).
In order to suppress the errors, we change the macro to include the
parameters in the declaration of the mingw_main function.
Unfortunately, this change provokes both sparse and gcc to complain
about 9 calls to mingw_main(), such as the following:
CC git.o
git.c: In function 'main':
git.c:510: warning: passing argument 2 of 'mingw_main' from \
incompatible pointer type
git.c:510: note: expected 'const char **' but argument is of \
type 'char **'
In order to suppress these warnings, since both of the main
functions need to be declared with the same prototype, we
change the declaration of the 9 main functions, thus:

If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we
implicitly assume that the current working directory should
be used as the working tree. E.g.,:
GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status
would compare against the cwd.
Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git
by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails, as we expect
git config alias.st status
git status ;# does not fail, but should
What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing
alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR
as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we
do not have one). Then when we actually run the status
command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our
explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree.
It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that
second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use
the values we already found in memory. However, the problem
still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were
an external command).
You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which
sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails
git --bare status ;# does NOT fail
We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though
GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree".
We could do it by putting a special token into
GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has
some portability problems.
Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE,
which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when
GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we
are in a bare setting.
The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is
an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up
with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident
we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting
it further.

Git takes pathspec arguments in many places to limit the
scope of an operation. These pathspecs are treated not as
literal paths, but as glob patterns that can be fed to
fnmatch. When a user is giving a specific pattern, this is a
nice feature.
However, when programatically providing pathspecs, it can be
a nuisance. For example, to find the latest revision which
modified "$foo", one can use "git rev-list -- $foo". But if
"$foo" contains glob characters (e.g., "f*"), it will
erroneously match more entries than desired. The caller
needs to quote the characters in $foo, and even then, the
results may not be exactly the same as with a literal
pathspec. For instance, the depth checks in
match_pathspec_depth do not kick in if we match via fnmatch.
This patch introduces a global command-line option (i.e.,
one for "git" itself, not for specific commands) to turn
this behavior off. It also has a matching environment
variable, which can make it easier if you are a script or
porcelain interface that is going to issue many such
commands.
This option cannot turn off globbing for particular
pathspecs. That could eventually be done with a ":(noglob)"
magic pathspec prefix. However, that level of granularity is
more cumbersome to use for many cases, and doing ":(noglob)"
right would mean converting the whole codebase to use
"struct pathspec", as the usual "const char **pathspec"
cannot represent extra per-item flags.

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.

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.

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.

A user may want different pager settings or even a
different pager for various subcommands (e.g., because they
use different less settings for "log" vs "diff", or because
they have a pager that interprets only log output but not
other commands).
This patch extends the pager.<cmd> syntax to support not
only boolean to-page-or-not-to-page, but also to specify a
pager just for a specific command.

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.

Git uses the "-c foo=bar" parameters to set a config
variable for a single git invocation. We currently do this
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").

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.

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.

git --paginate: paginate external commands again
git --paginate: do not commit pager choice too early
tests: local config file should be honored from subdirs of toplevel
t7006: test pager configuration for several git commands
t7006 (pager): introduce helper for parameterized tests
Conflicts:
t/t7006-pager.sh
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.

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.

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.

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).

one call site in git.c that does not want that, an option is added to

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.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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.

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.

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.

Change calls to die(..., strerror(errno)) to use the new die_errno().
In the process, also make slight style adjustments: at least state
_something_ about the function that failed (instead of just printing
the pathname), and put paths in single quotes.

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.

...
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.

We used to simply try calling execvp(); if it succeeded, then we were done
and the new program was running. If it didn't, then we knew that it wasn't
a valid command.
Unfortunately, this interacted badly with the new pager handling. Now that
git remains the parent process and the pager is spawned, git has to hang
around until the pager is finished. We install an atexit handler to do
this, but that handler never gets called if we successfully run execvp.
You could see this behavior by running any dashed external using a pager
(e.g., "git -p stash list"). The command finishes running, but the pager
is still going. In the case of less, it then gets an error reading from
the terminal and exits, potentially leaving the terminal in a broken state
(and not showing the output).
This patch just uses run_command() to try running the dashed external. The
parent git process then waits for the external process to complete and
then handles the pager cleanup as it would for an internal command.

There is a static function called run_command which
conflicts with the library function in run-command.c; this
isn't a problem currently, but prevents including
run-command.h in git.c.
This patch just renames the static function to something
more specific and non-conflicting.

This commit moves the code that computes the dirname of argv[0]
from git.c's main() to git_set_argv0_path() and renames the function
to git_extract_argv0_path(). This makes the code in git.c's main
less cluttered, and we can use the dirname computation from other
main() functions too.

help_unknown_cmd() is able to autocorrect a command to an alias, and not
only to internal or external commands. However, main() was not passing the
autocorrected command through handle_alias(), hence it failed if it was an
alias.
This commit makes the autocorrected command go through handle_alias(), once
handle_internal_command() and execv_dashed_external() have been tried. Since
this is done twice in main() now, moved that logic to a new run_argv()
function.
Also, print the same "Expansion of alias 'x' failed" message when the alias
was autocorrected, rather than a generic "Failed to run command 'x'".

This comes from conversation at the GitTogether where we thought it would
be helpful to be able to teach people to 'stage' files because it tends
to cause confusion when told that they have to keep 'add'ing them.
This continues the movement to start referring to the index as a
staging area (eg: the --staged alias to 'git diff'). Also adds a
doc file for 'git stage' that basically points to the docs for
'git add'.

Many call sites use strbuf_init(&foo, 0) to initialize local
strbuf variable "foo" which has not been accessed since its
declaration. These can be replaced with a static initialization
using the STRBUF_INIT macro which is just as readable, saves a
function call, and takes up fewer lines.

This patch introduces a modified Damerau-Levenshtein algorithm into
Git's code base, and uses it with the following penalties to show some
similar commands when an unknown command was encountered:
swap = 0, insertion = 1, substitution = 2, deletion = 4
A typical output would now look like this:
$ git sm
git: 'sm' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.
Did you mean one of these?
am
rm
The cut-off is at similarity rating 6, which was empirically determined
to give sensible results.
As a convenience, if there is only one candidate, Git continues under
the assumption that the user mistyped it. Example:
$ git reabse
WARNING: You called a Git program named 'reabse', which does
not exist.
Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'rebase'

This fixes "git diff", "git diff-files" and "git diff-index" to work
correctly under worktree setup. Because diff* family works in many modes
and not all of them require worktree, Junio made a nice summary
(with a little modification from me):
* diff-files is about comparing with work tree, so it obviously needs a
work tree;
* diff-index also does, except "diff-index --cached" or "diff --cached TREE"
* no-index is about random files outside git context, so it obviously
doesn't need any work tree;
* comparing two (or more) trees doesn't;
* comparing two blobs doesn't;
* comparing a blob with a random file doesn't;

This reverts commit daa0cc9a92.
It was a stupid idea to do this; when run as a log-in shell,
it is spawned with argv[0] set to "-git-shell", so the usual
name-based dispatch would not work to begin with.
