fbc812a600 Fix '\%o' for printf from coreutils
The printf utility provided by coreutils when interpreting '\%o' format
does not recognize %o as formatting directive. For example
printf '\%o 0 returns \%o and warning: ignoring excess arguments,
starting with ‘0’, which results in failed tests in
t5309-pack-delta-cycles.sh. In most shells the test ends with success as
the printf is a builtin utility.

Fix it by using '\\%o' which is interpreted consistently in all versions
of printf.

c80d96ca0c remote-curl: fix large pushes with GSSAPI
Due to an interaction between the way libcurl handles GSSAPI
authentication over HTTP and the way git uses libcurl, large
pushes (those over http.postBuffer bytes) would fail due to
an authentication failure requiring a rewind of the curl
buffer.  Such a rewind was not possible because the data did
not fit into the entire buffer.

Enable the use of the Expect: 100-continue header for large
requests where the server offers GSSAPI authentication to
avoid this issue, since the request would otherwise fail.
This allows git to get the authentication data right before
sending the pack contents.  Existing cases where pushes
would succeed, including small requests using GSSAPI, still
disable the use of 100 Continue, as it causes problems for
some remote HTTP implementations (servers and proxies).

3a347ed707 remote-curl: pass curl slot_results back through run_slot
Some callers may want to know more than just the integer
error code we return. Let them optionally pass a
slot_results struct to fill in (or NULL if they do not
care). In either case we continue to return the integer
code.

We can also give probe_rpc the same treatment (since it
builds directly on run_slot).

0972ccd97c http: return curl's AUTHAVAIL via slot_results
Callers of the http code may want to know which auth types
were available for the previous request. But after finishing
with the curl slot, they are not supposed to look at the
curl handle again. We already handle returning other
information via the slot_results struct; let's add a flag to
check the available auth.

Note that older versions of curl did not support this, so we
simply return 0 (something like "-1" would be worse, as the
value is a bitflag and we might accidentally set a flag).
This is sufficient for the callers planned in this series,
who only trigger some optional behavior if particular bits
are set, and can live with a fake "no bits" answer.

4399fe3372 gitk: Tag display improvements
When a commit has many tags, the tag icons in the graph display can
easily become so wide as to push the commit message off the right-hand
edge of the graph display pane.  This changes the display so that if
there are more than 3 tags or they would take up more than a quarter
of the width of the pane, we instead display a single tag icon with
a legend inside it like "4 tags...".  If the user clicks on the tag
icon, gitk then displays all the tags in the diff display pane.

f096e6e826 fetch: improve the error messages emitted for conflicting refspecs
If we find two refspecs that want to update the same local reference,
emit an error message that is more informative based on whether one of
the conflicting refspecs is an opportunistic update during a fetch
with explicit command-line refspecs.  And especially, do not die if an
opportunistic reference update conflicts with an express wish of the
user; rather, just emit a warning and skip the opportunistic reference
update.

2071e05ed2 t5536: new test of refspec conflicts when fetching
Add some tests that "git fetch" handles refspec conflicts (i.e., when
the same local reference should be updated from two different remote
references) correctly.

There is a small bug when updating references opportunistically,
namely that an explicit user wish like

    git fetch origin \
        refs/heads/branch1:refs/remotes/origin/branch2 \
        refs/heads/branch2:refs/remotes/origin/branch1

should override a configured refspec like

    +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

The current code incorrectly treats this as a fatal error.

In a few commits we will improve the error messages for refspec
conflicts in general and also turn this buggy fatal error into a
warning.

09ea1f8e0e ref_remove_duplicates(): avoid redundant bisection
The old code called string_list_lookup(), and if that failed called
string_list_insert(), thus doing the bisection search through the
string list twice in the latter code path.

Instead, just call string_list_insert() right away.  If an entry for
that peer reference name already existed, then its util pointer is
always non-NULL.

Of course this doesn't change the fact that the repeated
string_list_insert() calls make the function scale like O(N^2) if the
input reference list is not already approximately sorted.

37f0dcbdc1 git-fetch.txt: improve description of tag auto-following
Make it clearer that tags are fetched independent of which branches
were fetched from the remote in any particular fetch.  (Tags are even
fetched if they point at objects that are in the current repository
but not reachable, which is probably a bug.)

Put less emphasis on the mechanism and more on the effect of tag
auto-following.  Also mention the options and configuration settings
that can change the tag-fetching behavior.

0838bf47b3 fetch --prune: prune only based on explicit refspecs
The old behavior of "fetch --prune" was to prune whatever was being
fetched.  In particular, "fetch --prune --tags" caused tags not only
to be fetched, but also to be pruned.  This is inappropriate because
there is only one tags namespace that is shared among the local
repository and all remotes.  Therefore, if the user defines a local
tag and then runs "git fetch --prune --tags", then the local tag is
deleted.  Moreover, "--prune" and "--tags" can also be configured via
fetch.prune / remote.<name>.prune and remote.<name>.tagopt, making it
even less obvious that an invocation of "git fetch" could result in
tag lossage.

Since the command "git remote update" invokes "git fetch", it had the
same problem.

The command "git remote prune", on the other hand, disregarded the
setting of remote.<name>.tagopt, and so its behavior was inconsistent
with that of the other commands.

So the old behavior made it too easy to lose tags.  To fix this
problem, change "fetch --prune" to prune references based only on
refspecs specified explicitly by the user, either on the command line
or via remote.<name>.fetch.  Thus, tags are no longer made subject to
pruning by the --tags option or the remote.<name>.tagopt setting.

However, tags *are* still subject to pruning if they are fetched as
part of a refspec, and that is good.  For example:

* On the command line,

      git fetch --prune 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'

  causes tags, and only tags, to be fetched and pruned, and is
  therefore a simple way for the user to get the equivalent of the old
  behavior of "--prune --tag".

* For a remote that was configured with the "--mirror" option, the
  configuration is set to include

      [remote "name"]
              fetch = +refs/*:refs/*

  , which causes tags to be subject to pruning along with all other
  references.  This is the behavior that will typically be desired for
  a mirror.

c5a84e92a2 fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to* other stuff
Previously, fetch's "--tags" option was considered equivalent to
specifying the refspec "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" on the command line;
in particular, it caused the remote.<name>.refspec configuration to be
ignored.

But it is not very useful to fetch tags without also fetching other
references, whereas it *is* quite useful to be able to fetch tags *in
addition to* other references.  So change the semantics of this option
to do the latter.

If a user wants to fetch *only* tags, then it is still possible to
specifying an explicit refspec:

    git fetch <remote> 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'

Please note that the documentation prior to 1.8.0.3 was ambiguous
about this aspect of "fetch --tags" behavior.  Commit

    f0cb2f137c 2012-12-14 fetch --tags: clarify documentation

made the documentation match the old behavior.  This commit changes
the documentation to match the new behavior.

0281c930f1 fetch: only opportunistically update references based on command line
The old code processed (tags == TAGS_SET) before adding the entries
used to opportunistically update references mentioned on the command
line.  The result was that all tags were also considered candidates
for opportunistic updating.

This is harmless for two reasons: (a) because it would only add
entries if there is a configured refspec that covers tags *and* both
--tags and another refspec appear on the command-line; (b) because any
extra entries would be deleted later by the call to
ref_remove_duplicates() anyway.

But, to avoid extra work and extra memory usage, and to make the
implementation better match the intention, change the algorithm
slightly: compute the opportunistic refspecs based only on the
command-line arguments, storing the results into a separate temporary
list.  Then add the tags (which have to come earlier in the list so
that they are not de-duped in favor of an opportunistic entry).  Then
concatenate the temporary list onto the main list.

This change will also make later changes easier.

01e8d327a9 t3200: do not open a HTML manual page when DEFAULT_MAN_FORMAT is html
We have the build configuration option DEFAULT_MAN_FORMAT to choose a
format different from man pages to be used by 'git help' when no format
is requested explicitly. Since 65db0443 (Set the default help format to
html for msys builds, 2013-06-04) we use html on Windows by default.

There is one test in t3200-branch.sh that invokes a help page. The
intent of the redirections applied to the command invocation is to avoid
that the man page viewer interferes with the automated test. But when
the default format is not "man", this does not have the intended effect,
and the HTML manual page is opened during the test run. Request "man"
format explicitly to keep the test silent.

This patch does not build or install it as part of
"install-doc"; that would require extra infrastructure to
handle installing the html as we do in git's regular
Documentation/ tree. That can come later if somebody is
interested.

53039ab154 Avoid difference in tr semantics between System V and BSD
Solaris' tr (both /usr/bin/ and /usr/xpg4/bin) uses the System V
semantics for tr whereby string1's length is truncated to the length
of string2 if string2 is shorter. The BSD semantics, as used by GNU tr
see string2 padded to the length of string1 using the final character
in string2. POSIX explicitly doesn't specify the correct behavior
here, making both equally valid.

This difference means that Solaris' native tr implementations produce
different results for tr ":\t\n" "\0" than GNU tr. This breaks a few
tests in t0008-ignores.sh.

Possible fixes for this are to make string2 be "\0\0\0" or "[\0*]".

Instead, use perl to perform these transliterations which means we
don't need to worry about the difference at all. Since we're replacing
tr with perl, we also use perl to replace the sed invocations used to
transform the files.

Replace four identical transforms with a function named
broken_c_unquote. Replace the other two identical transforms with a
fuction named broken_c_unquote_verbose.

  git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname) %(refname)'

this should involve little more work than looking at the ref
files (and packed-refs) themselves. However, for-each-ref
will actually load each object from disk just to print its
sha1. For most repositories, this isn't a big deal, but it
can be noticeable if you have a large number of refs to
print. Here are best-of-five timings for the command above
on a repo with ~10K refs:

  [before]
  real    0m0.112s
  user    0m0.092s
  sys     0m0.016s

  [after]
  real    0m0.014s
  user    0m0.012s
  sys     0m0.000s

This patch checks for %(objectname) and %(objectname:short)
before we actually parse the object (and the rest of the
code is smart enough to avoid parsing if we have filled all
of our placeholders).

Note that we can't simply move the objectname parsing code
into the early loop. If the "deref" form %(*objectname) is
used, then we do need to parse the object in order to peel
the tag. So instead of moving the code, we factor it out
into a separate function that can be called for both cases.

While we're at it, we add some basic tests for the
dereferenced placeholders, which were not tested at all
before. This helps ensure we didn't regress that case.

9462953ad2 cvsserver: Determinize output to combat Perl 5.18 hash randomization
Perl 5.18 randomizes the seed used by its hash function, so iterating
through hashes results in different orders from run to run:
  http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5180delta.html#Hash-overhaul

This usually broke t9400 (gitcvs.dbname, gitcvs.ext.dbname, when
running cmp on two .sqlite files) and t9402 (check [cvswork3] diff,
when running test_cmp on two diffs).

To fix this, hide the internal order of hashes with sort when sending
output or running database queries.

(An alternative workaround is PERL_HASH_SEED=0, but this seems nicer.)

d96855ff51 merge-base: teach "--fork-point" mode
The "git pull --rebase" command computes the fork point of the
branch being rebased using the reflog entries of the "base" branch
(typically a remote-tracking branch) the branch's work was based on,
in order to cope with the case in which the "base" branch has been
rewound and rebuilt.  For example, if the history looked like this:

                     o---B1
                    /
    ---o---o---B2--o---o---o---Base
            \
             B3
              \
               Derived

where the current tip of the "base" branch is at Base, but earlier
fetch observed that its tip used to be B3 and then B2 and then B1
before getting to the current commit, and the branch being rebased
on top of the latest "base" is based on commit B3, it tries to find
B3 by going through the output of "git rev-list --reflog base" (i.e.
Base, B1, B2, B3) until it finds a commit that is an ancestor of the
current tip "Derived".

Internally, we have get_merge_bases_many() that can compute this
with one-go.  We would want a merge-base between Derived and a
fictitious merge commit that would result by merging all the
historical tips of "base".  When such a commit exist, we should get
a single result, which exactly match one of the reflog entries of
"base".

Teach "git merge-base" a new mode, "--fork-point", to compute
exactly that.

94221d2203 t: use perl instead of "$PERL_PATH" where applicable
As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a
function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is
easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere.

This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/
replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke
perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The
result can be double-checked by running:

  ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
  make test

which continues to pass even after this patch.

a0e0ec9f7d t: provide a perl() function which uses $PERL_PATH
Once upon a time, we assumed that calling a bare "perl" in
the test scripts was OK, because we would find the perl from
the user's PATH, and we were only asking that perl to do
basic operations that work even on old versions of perl.

Later, we found that some systems really prefer to use
$PERL_PATH even for these basic cases, because the system
perl misbehaves in some way (e.g., by handling line endings
differently). We then switched "perl" invocations to
"$PERL_PATH" to respect the user's choice.

Having to use "$PERL_PATH" is ugly and cumbersome, though.
Instead, let's provide a perl() shell function that tests
can use, which will transparently do the right thing.

Unfortunately, test writers still have to use $PERL_PATH in
certain situations, so we still need to keep the advice in
the README.

Note that this may fix test failures in t5004, t5503, t6002,
t6003, t6300, t8001, and t8002, depending on your system's
perl setup. All of these can be detected by running:

  ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
  make test

which fails before this patch, and passes after.
