644a36908d revert: prepare to move replay_action to header
REVERT and CHERRY_PICK and are unsuitable names for an enumerator in a
public interface, because they are generic enough to be likely to
clash with identifiers with other meanings.  Rename to REPLAY_REVERT
and REPLAY_PICK as preparation for exposing them.

37495eef4c git-cvsexportcommit: Fix calling Perl's rel2abs() on MSYS
Due to MSYS path mangling GIT_DIR contains a Windows-style path when
checked inside a Perl script even if GIT_DIR was previously set to an
MSYS-style path in a shell script. So explicitly convert to an MSYS-style
path before calling Perl's rel2abs() to make it work.

This fix was inspired by a very similar patch in WebKit:

4397c6535e t9200: On MSYS, do not pass Windows-style paths to CVS
For details, see the commit message of 4114156ae9. Note that while using
$PWD as part of GIT_DIR is not required here, it does no harm and it is
more consistent. In addition, on MSYS using an environment variable should
be slightly faster than spawning an external executable.

06121a0a83 unix-socket: do not let close() or chdir() clobber errno during cleanup
unix_stream_connect and unix_stream_listen return -1 on error, with
errno set by the failing underlying call to allow the caller to write
a useful diagnosis.

Unfortunately the error path involves a few system calls itself, such
as close(), that can themselves touch errno.

This is not as worrisome as it might sound.  If close() fails, this
just means substituting one meaningful error message for another,
which is perfectly fine.  However, when the call _succeeds_, it is
allowed to (and sometimes might) clobber errno along the way with some
undefined value, so it is good higiene to save errno and restore it
immediately before returning to the caller.  Do so.

82553cbb08 mailinfo documentation: accurately describe non -k case
Since its very first description of -k, the documentation for
git-mailinfo claimed that (in the case without -k) after cleaning up
bracketed strings [blah], it would insert [PATCH].

It doesn't; on the contrary, one of the important jobs of mailinfo is
to remove those strings.

Since we're already there, rewrite the paragraph to give a complete
enumeration of all the transformations.  Specifically, it was missing
the whitespace normalization (run of isspace(c) -> ' ') and the
removal of leading ':'.

42d8c27990 git-p4: add tests demonstrating spec overlay ambiguities
Introduce new tests that look more closely at overlay situations
when there are conflicting files.  Five of these are broken.
Document the brokenness.

This is a fundamental problem with how git-p4 only "borrows" a
client spec.  At some sync operation, a new change can contain
a file which is already in the repo or explicitly deleted through
another mapping.  To sort this out would involve listing all the
files in the client spec to find one with a higher priority.
While this is not too hard for the initial import, subsequent
sync operations would be very costly.

b7e642ecec request-pull: use the real fork point when preparing the message
The command takes the "start" argument and computes the merge base
between it and the commit to be pulled so that we can show the diffstat,
but uses the "start" argument as-is when composing the message

    The following changes since commit $X are available

to tell the integrator which commit the work is based on. Giving "origin"
(most of the time it resolves to refs/remotes/origin/master) as the start
argument is often convenient, but it is usually not the fork point, and
does not help the integrator at all.

Use the real fork point, which is the merge base we already compute, when
composing that part of the message.

77f7f82288 attr: drop misguided defensive coding
In prepare_attr_stack, we pop the old elements of the stack
(which were left from a previous lookup and may or may not
be useful to us). Our loop to do so checks that we never
reach the top of the stack. However, the code immediately
afterwards will segfault if we did actually reach the top of
the stack.

Fortunately, this is not an actual bug, since we will never
pop all of the stack elements (we will always keep the root
gitattributes, as well as the builtin ones). So the extra
check in the loop condition simply clutters the code and
makes the intent less clear. Let's get rid of it.

1afca44495 attr: don't confuse prefixes with leading directories
When we prepare the attribute stack for a lookup on a path,
we start with the cached stack from the previous lookup
(because it is common to do several lookups in the same
directory hierarchy). So the first thing we must do in
preparing the stack is to pop any entries that point to
directories we are no longer interested in.

For example, if our stack contains gitattributes for:

  foo/bar/baz
  foo/bar
  foo

but we want to do a lookup in "foo/bar/bleep", then we want
to pop the top element, but retain the others.

To do this we walk down the stack from the top, popping
elements that do not match our lookup directory. However,
the test do this simply checked strncmp, meaning we would
mistake "foo/bar/baz" as a leading directory of
"foo/bar/baz_plus". We must also check that the character
after our match is '/', meaning we matched the whole path
component.

There are two special cases to consider:

  1. The top of our attr stack has the empty path. So we
     must not check for '/', but rather special-case the
     empty path, which always matches.

  2. Typically when matching paths in this way, you would
     also need to check for a full string match (i.e., the
     character after is '\0'). We don't need to do so in
     this case, though, because our path string is actually
     just the directory component of the path to a file
     (i.e., we know that it terminates with "/", because the
     filename comes after that).

8ec6c8d795 credential-cache: report more daemon connection errors
Originally, this code remained relatively silent when we
failed to connect to the cache. The idea was that it was
simply a cache, and we didn't want to bother the user with
temporary failures (the worst case is that we would simply
ask their password again).

However, if you have a configuration failure or other
problem, it is helpful for the daemon to report those
problems. Git will happily ignore the failed error code, but
the extra information to stderr can help the user diagnose
the problem.

1eb10f4091 unix-socket: handle long socket pathnames
On many systems, the sockaddr_un.sun_path field is quite
small. Even on Linux, it is only 108 characters. A user of
the credential-cache daemon can easily surpass this,
especially if their home directory is in a deep directory
tree (since the default location expands ~/.git-credentials).

We can hack around this in the unix-socket.[ch] code by
doing a chdir() to the enclosing directory, feeding the
relative basename to the socket functions, and then
restoring the working directory.

This introduces several new possible error cases for
creating a socket, including an irrecoverable one in the
case that we can't restore the working directory. In the
case of the credential-cache code, we could perhaps get away
with simply chdir()-ing to the socket directory and never
coming back. However, I'd rather do it at the lower level
for a few reasons:

  1. It keeps the hackery behind an opaque interface instead
     of polluting the main program logic.

  2. A hack in credential-cache won't help any unix-socket
     users who come along later.

  3. The chdir trickery isn't that likely to fail (basically
     it's only a problem if your cwd is missing or goes away
     while you're running).  And because we only enable the
     hack when we get a too-long name, it can only fail in
     cases that would have failed under the previous code
     anyway.

8b9624c374 Use perl instead of sed for t8006-blame-textconv test
In test 'blame --textconv with local changes' of t8006-blame-textconv,
using /usr/xpg4/bin/sed (as set by SANE_TOOL_PATH), an additional
newline was added to the output from the 'helper' script.

This was noted by sed with a message such as:
sed: Missing newline at end of file zero.bin.

Sed then exits with status 2 causing the helper script to also exit
with status 2.

In turn, this was triggering a fatal error from git blame:
fatal: unable to read files to diff

To work around this difference in sed behaviour, use perl -p instead
of sed -e as it exits cleanly and does not insert the additional
newline.

829a1c6169 send-email: multiedit is a boolean config option
The sendemail.multiedit variable is meant to be a boolean.
However, it is not marked as such in the code, which means
we store its value literally. Thus in the do_edit function,
perl ends up coercing it to a boolean value according to
perl rules, not git rules. This works for "0", but "false",
"no", or "off" will erroneously be interpreted as true.

561b133c2c git-daemon tests: wait until daemon is ready
In start_daemon, git-daemon is started as a background process.  In
theory, the tests may try to connect before the daemon had a chance
to open a listening socket. Avoid this race condition by waiting
for it to output "Ready to rumble". Any other output is considered
an error and the test is aborted.

Should git-daemon produce no output at all, lib-git-daemon would
block forever. This could be fixed by introducing a timeout.  On
the other hand, we have no timeout for other git commands which
could suffer from the same problem. Since such a mechanism adds
some complexity, I have decided against it.

afe19ff7b5 run-command: optionally kill children on exit
When we spawn a helper process, it should generally be done
and finish_command called before we exit. However, if we
exit abnormally due to an early return or a signal, the
helper may continue to run in our absence.

In the best case, this may simply be wasted CPU cycles or a
few stray messages on a terminal. But it could also mean a
process that the user thought was aborted continues to run
to completion (e.g., a push's pack-objects helper will
complete the push, even though you killed the push process).

This patch provides infrastructure for run-command to keep
track of PIDs to be killed, and clean them on signal
reception or input, just as we do with tempfiles. PIDs can
be added in two ways:

  1. If NO_PTHREADS is defined, async helper processes are
     automatically marked. By definition this code must be
     ready to die when the parent dies, since it may be
     implemented as a thread of the parent process.

  2. If the run-command caller specifies the "clean_on_exit"
     option. This is not the default, as there are cases
     where it is OK for the child to outlive us (e.g., when
     spawning a pager).

PIDs are cleared from the kill-list automatically during
wait_or_whine, which is called from finish_command and
finish_async.

f47182c852 server_supports(): parse feature list more carefully
We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol
extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a
substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have
recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later
add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward.

Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the
clients and servers that feature words consist of non whitespace
letters. This parser also allows us to later add features with parameters
e.g. "feature=1.5" (parameter values need to be quoted for whitespaces,
but we will worry about the detauls when we do introduce them).

90108a2441 upload-pack: avoid parsing tag destinations
When upload-pack advertises refs, it dereferences any tags
it sees, and shows the resulting sha1 to the client. It does
this by calling deref_tag. That function must load and parse
each tag object to find the sha1 of the tagged object.
However, it also ends up parsing the tagged object itself,
which is not strictly necessary for upload-pack's use.

Each tag produces two object loads (assuming it is not a
recursive tag), when it could get away with only a single
one. Dropping the second load halves the effort we spend.

The downside is that we are no longer verifying the
resulting object by loading it. In particular:

  1. We never cross-check the "type" field given in the tag
     object with the type of the pointed-to object.  If the
     tag says it points to a tag but doesn't, then we will
     keep peeling and realize the error.  If the tag says it
     points to a non-tag but actually points to a tag, we
     will stop peeling and just advertise the pointed-to
     tag.

  2. If we are missing the pointed-to object, we will not
     realize (because we never even look it up in the object
     db).

However, both of these are errors in the object database,
and both will be detected if a client actually requests the
broken objects in question. So we are simply pushing the
verification away from the advertising stage, and down to
the actual fetching stage.

On my test repo with 120K refs, this drops the time to
advertise the refs from ~3.2s to ~2.0s.

926f1dd954 upload-pack: avoid parsing objects during ref advertisement
When we advertise a ref, the first thing we do is parse the
pointed-to object. This gives us two things:

  1. a "struct object" we can use to store flags

  2. the type of the object, so we know whether we need to
     dereference it as a tag

Instead, we can just use lookup_unknown_object to get an
object struct, and then fill in just the type field using
sha1_object_info (which, in the case of packed files, can
find the information without actually inflating the object
data).

This can save time if you have a large number of refs, and
the client isn't actually going to request those refs (e.g.,
because most of them are already up-to-date).

The downside is that we are no longer verifying objects that
we advertise by fully parsing them (however, we do still
know we actually have them, because sha1_object_info must
find them to get the type). While we might fail to detect a
corrupt object here, if the client actually fetches the
object, we will parse (and verify) it then.

On a repository with 120K refs, the advertisement portion of
upload-pack goes from ~3.4s to 3.2s (the failure to speed up
more is largely due to the fact that most of these refs are
tags, which need dereferenced to find the tag destination
anyway).
