ea02ffa385 mailmap: simplify map_user() interface
Simplify map_user(), mostly to avoid copies of string buffers. It
also simplifies caller functions.

map_user() directly receive pointers and length from the commit buffer
as mail and name. If mapping of the user and mail can be done, the
pointer is updated to a new location. Lengths are also updated if
necessary.

The caller of map_user() can then copy the new email and name if
necessary.

51fb3a3dfa commit: make default of "cleanup" option configurable
The default of the "cleanup" option in "git commit"
is not configurable. Users who don't want to use the
default have to pass this option on every commit since
there's no way to configure it. This commit introduces
a new config option "commit.cleanup" which can be used
to change the default of the "cleanup" option in
"git commit".

c04318e46a dir.c: keep track of where patterns came from
For exclude patterns read in from files, the filename is stored in the
exclude list, and the originating line number is stored in the
individual exclude (counting starting at 1).

For exclude patterns provided on the command line, a string describing
the source of the patterns is stored in the exclude list, and the
sequence number assigned to each exclude pattern is negative, with
counting starting at -1.  So for example the 2nd pattern provided via
--exclude would be numbered -2.  This allows any future consumers of
that data to easily distinguish between exclude patterns from files
vs. from the CLI.

c082df2453 dir.c: use a single struct exclude_list per source of excludes
Previously each exclude_list could potentially contain patterns
from multiple sources.  For example dir->exclude_list[EXC_FILE]
would typically contain patterns from .git/info/exclude and
core.excludesfile, and dir->exclude_list[EXC_DIRS] could contain
patterns from multiple per-directory .gitignore files during
directory traversal (i.e. when dir->exclude_stack was more than
one item deep).

We split these composite exclude_lists up into three groups of
exclude_lists (EXC_CMDL / EXC_DIRS / EXC_FILE as before), so that each
exclude_list now contains patterns from a single source.  This will
allow us to cleanly track the origin of each pattern simply by adding
a src field to struct exclude_list, rather than to struct exclude,
which would make memory management of the source string tricky in the
EXC_DIRS case where its contents are dynamically generated.

Similarly, by moving the filebuf member from struct exclude_stack to
struct exclude_list, it allows us to track and subsequently free
memory buffers allocated during the parsing of all exclude files,
rather than only tracking buffers allocated for files in the EXC_DIRS
group.

9be1980bb9 clone: support atomic operation with --separate-git-dir
Since b57fb80a7d (init, clone: support --separate-git-dir for .git file)
git clone supports the --separate-git-dir option to create the git dir
outside the work tree. But when that option is used, the git dir won't be
deleted in case the clone fails like it would be without this option. This
makes clone lose its atomicity as in case of a failure a partly set up git
dir is left behind. A real world example where this leads to problems is
when "git submodule update" fails to clone a submodule and later calls to
"git submodule update" stumble over the partially set up git dir and try
to revive the submodule from there, which then fails with a not very user
friendly error message.

Fix that by updating the junk_git_dir variable (used to remember if and
what git dir should be removed in case of failure) to the new value given
with the --seperate-git-dir option. Also add a test for this to t5600 (and
while at it fix the former last test to not cd into a directory to test
for its existence but use "test -d" instead).

3e4141d08c merge: Honor prepare-commit-msg return code
65969d4 (merge: honor prepare-commit-msg hook, 2011-02-14) tried to
make "git commit" and "git merge" consistent, because a merge that
required user assistance has to be concluded with "git commit", but
back then only "git commit" triggered prepare-commit-msg hook.

When it added a call to run the prepare-commit-msg hook, however, it
forgot to check the exit code from the hook like "git commit" does,
and ended up replacing one inconsistency with another.

When prepare-commit-msg hook that is run from "git merge" exits with
a non-zero status, abort the commit.

9bcbb1c218 merge --no-edit: do not credit people involved in the side branch
The credit lines "By" and "Via" to credit authors and committers for
their contributions on the side branch are meant as a hint to the
integrator to decide whom to mention in the log message text.  After
the integrator saves the message in the editor, they are meant to go
away and that is why they are commented out.

When a merge is recorded without editing the generated message,
however, its contents do not go through the normal stripspace()
and these lines are left in the merge.

Stop producing them when we know the merge is going to be recorded
without editing, i.e. when --no-edit is given.

35ffe75831 merge-tree: fix d/f conflicts
The previous commit documented two known breakages revolving around
a case where one side flips a tree into a blob (or vice versa),
where the original code simply gets confused and feeds a mixture of
trees and blobs into either the recursive merge-tree (and recursing
into the blob will fail) or three-way merge (and merging tree contents
together with blobs will fail).

Fix it by feeding trees (and only trees) into the recursive
merge-tree machinery and blobs (and only blobs) into the three-way
content level merge machinery separately; when this happens, the
entire merge has to be marked as conflicting at the structure level.

5fe10fe80a format-patch: add --reroll-count=$N option
The --reroll-count=$N option, when given a positive integer:

 - Adds " v$N" to the subject prefix specified.  As the default
   subject prefix string is "PATCH", --reroll-count=2 makes it
   "PATCH v2".

 - Prefixes "v$N-" to the names used for output files.  The cover
   letter, whose name is usually 0000-cover-letter.patch, becomes
   v2-0000-cover-letter.patch when given --reroll-count=2.

This allows users to use the same --output-directory for multiple
iterations of the same series, without letting the output for a
newer round overwrite output files from the earlier rounds.  The
user can incorporate materials from earlier rounds to update the
newly minted iteration, and use "send-email v2-*.patch" to send out
the patches belonging to the second iteration easily.

A recent commit [1] fixed a off-by-one wrapping error.  As a
side-effect, the conditional in add_wrapped_shortlog_msg() to decide
whether to append a newline needs to be removed.  The function
should always append a newline, which was the case before the
off-by-one fix, because strbuf_add_wrapped_text() never returns a
value of wraplen; when it returns wraplen, the string does not end
with a newline, so this caller needs to add one anyway.

 * Rename the static one in merge-index to "merge_one_path(const char

   resolve conflicts in one path.

 * Rename the global one in merge-file.c that is only used by

   returns the merged result only in-core, without doing anything to

f28e7c904a fast-export: make sure updated refs get updated
When an object has already been exported (and thus is in the marks) it's
flagged as SHOWN, so it will not be exported again, even if in a later
time it's exported through a different ref.

We don't need the object to be exported again, but we want the ref
updated, which doesn't happen.

Since we can't know if a ref was exported or not, let's just assume that
if the commit was marked (flags & SHOWN), the user still wants the ref
updated.

IOW: If it's specified in the command line, it will get updated,
regardless of whether or not the object was marked.

So:

 % git branch test master
 % git fast-export $mark_flags master
 % git fast-export $mark_flags test

Would export 'test' properly.

Additionally, this fixes issues with remote helpers; now they can push
refs whose objects have already been exported, and a few other issues as
well. Update the tests accordingly.

49266e8a11 fast-export: don't handle uninteresting refs
They have been marked as UNINTERESTING for a reason, lets respect
that.  Currently the first ref is handled properly, but not the
rest.  Assuming that all the refs point at the same commit in the
following example:

  % git fast-export master ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar
  reset refs/heads/bar
  from :0

  reset refs/heads/foo
  from :0

  reset refs/heads/uninteresting
  from :0

  % git fast-export ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar master
  reset refs/heads/master
  from :0

  reset refs/heads/bar
  from :0

  reset refs/heads/foo
  from :0

Clearly this is wrong; the negative refs should be ignored.

After this patch:

  % git fast-export ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar master
  # nothing
  % git fast-export master ^uninteresting ^foo ^bar
  # nothing

And even more, it would only happen if the ref is pointing to exactly
the same commit, but not otherwise:

 % git fast-export ^next next
 reset refs/heads/next
 from :0

 % git fast-export ^next next^{commit}
 # nothing
 % git fast-export ^next next~0
 # nothing
 % git fast-export ^next next~1
 # nothing
 % git fast-export ^next next~2
 # nothing

The reason this happens is that before traversing the commits,
fast-export checks if any of the refs point to the same object, and any
duplicated ref gets added to a list in order to issue 'reset' commands
after the traversing. Unfortunately, it's not even checking if the
commit is flagged as UNINTERESTING. The fix of course, is to check it.

However, in order to do it properly we need to get the UNINTERESTING
flag from the command line, not from the commit object, because
"^foo bar" will mark the commit 'bar' uninteresting if foo and bar
points at the same commit.  rev_cmdline_info, which was introduced
exactly to handle this situation, contains all the information we
need for get_tags_and_duplicates(), plus the ref flag. This way the
rest of the positive refs will remain untouched; it's only the
negative ones that change in behavior.

5d3698ffb4 fast-export: avoid importing blob marks
We want to be able to import, and then export, using the same marks, so
that we don't push things that the other side already received.

Unfortunately, fast-export doesn't store blobs in the marks, but
fast-import does. This creates a mismatch when fast export is reusing a
mark that was previously stored by fast-import.

There is no point in one tool saving blobs, and the other not, but for
now let's just check in fast-export that the objects are indeed commits.

53e4c5dcab Teach rm to remove submodules when given with a trailing '/'
Doing a "git rm submod/" on a submodule results in an error:
	fatal: pathspec 'submod/' did not match any files
This is really inconvenient as e.g. using TAB completion in a shell on a
submodule automatically adds the trailing '/' when it completes the path
of the submodule directory. The user has then to remove the '/' herself to
make a "git rm" succeed. Doing a "git rm -r somedir/" is working fine, so
there is no reason why that shouldn't work for submodules too.

Teach git rm to not error out when a '/' is appended to the path of a
submodule. Achieve this by chopping off trailing slashes from the path
names given if they represent directories. Add tests to make sure that
logic only applies to directories and not to files.

When given a variable without a value, such as '[section] var' and
asking git-config to treat it as a path, git_config_pathname returns
an error and doesn't modify its output parameter. show_config assumes
that the call is always successful and sets a variable to indicate
that vptr should be freed. In case of an error however, trying to do
this will cause the program to be killed, as it's pointing to memory
in the stack.

Detect the error and return immediately to avoid freeing or accessing
the uninitialed memory in the stack.

d6991ceedc ident: keep separate "explicit" flags for author and committer
We keep track of whether the user ident was given to us
explicitly, or if we guessed at it from system parameters
like username and hostname. However, we kept only a single
variable. This covers the common cases (because the author
and committer will usually come from the same explicit
source), but can miss two cases:

  1. GIT_COMMITTER_* is set explicitly, but we fallback for
     GIT_AUTHOR. We claim the ident is explicit, even though
     the author is not.

  2. GIT_AUTHOR_* is set and we ask for author ident, but
     not committer ident. We will claim the ident is
     implicit, even though it is explicit.

This patch uses two variables instead of one, updates both
when we set the "fallback" values, and updates them
individually when we read from the environment.

Rather than keep user_ident_sufficiently_given as a
compatibility wrapper, we update the only two callers to
check the committer_ident, which matches their intent and
what was happening already.

5ba1a8a735 builtin/config.c: Fix a sparse warning
Sparse issues an "Using plain integer as NULL pointer" warning while
checking a 'struct strbuf_list' initializer expression. The initial
field of the struct has pointer type, but the initializer expression
is given as '{0}'. In order to suppress the warning, we simply replace
the initializer with '{NULL}'.

Speeds up "git upload-pack" (what is invoked by "git fetch" on the
other side of the connection) by reducing the cost to advertise the
branches and tags that are available in the repository.

* jk/peel-ref:
  upload-pack: use peel_ref for ref advertisements
  peel_ref: check object type before loading
  peel_ref: do not return a null sha1
  peel_ref: use faster deref_tag_noverify

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.

9ab55daa55 git symbolic-ref --delete $symref
Teach symbolic-ref to delete symrefs by adding the -d/--delete option to
git-symbolic-ref. Both proper and dangling symrefs are deleted by this
option, but other refs - or anything else that is not a symref - is not.

The symref deletion is performed by first verifying that we are given a
proper symref, and then invoking delete_ref() on it with the REF_NODEREF
flag.

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.
