The custom hash function used by "git fast-import" has been
replaced with the one from hashmap.c, which gave us a nice
performance boost.
* jk/fast-import-use-hashmap:
fast-import: replace custom hash with hashmap.c
The config API made mixed uses of int and size_t types to represent
length of various pieces of text it parsed, which has been updated
to use the correct type (i.e. size_t) throughout.
* jk/config-use-size-t:
config: reject parsing of files over INT_MAX
config: use size_t to store parsed variable baselen
git_config_parse_key(): return baselen as size_t
config: drop useless length variable in write_pair()
parse_config_key(): return subsection len as size_t
remote: drop auto-strlen behavior of make_branch() and make_rewrite()
Validation of push certificate has been made more robust against
timing attacks.
* bc/constant-memequal:
receive-pack: compilation fix
builtin/receive-pack: use constant-time comparison for HMAC value
The code that refreshes the last access and modified time of
on-disk packfiles and loose object files have been updated.
* lr/freshen-file-fix:
freshen_file(): use NULL `times' for implicit current-time
"git rebase" happens to call some hooks meant for "checkout" and
"commit" by this was not a designed behaviour than historical
accident. This has been documented.
* en/rebase-doc-hooks-called-by-accident:
git-rebase.txt: add another hook to the hooks section, and explain more
Document the recommended way to abort a failing test early (e.g. by
exiting a loop), which is to say "return 1".
* jc/doc-test-leaving-early:
t/README: suggest how to leave test early with failure
Various tests have been updated to work around issues found with
shell utilities that come with busybox etc.
* dd/test-with-busybox:
t5703: feed raw data into test-tool unpack-sideband
t4124: tweak test so that non-compliant diff(1) can also be used
t7063: drop non-POSIX argument "-ls" from find(1)
t5616: use rev-parse instead to get HEAD's object_id
t5003: skip conversion test if unzip -a is unavailable
t5003: drop the subshell in test_lazy_prereq
test-lib-functions: test_cmp: eval $GIT_TEST_CMP
t4061: use POSIX compliant regex(7)
Parsing of URL for the credential helper has been corrected.
* jk/credential-parsing-end-of-host-in-URL:
credential: treat "?" and "#" in URLs as end of host
Allow "git rebase" to reapply all local commits, even if the may be
already in the upstream, without checking first.
* jt/rebase-allow-duplicate:
rebase --merge: optionally skip upstreamed commits
"git rebase" (again) learns to honor "--no-keep-empty", which lets
the user to discard commits that are empty from the beginning (as
opposed to the ones that become empty because of rebasing). The
interactive rebase also marks commits that are empty in the todo.
* en/rebase-no-keep-empty:
rebase: fix an incompatible-options error message
rebase: reinstate --no-keep-empty
rebase -i: mark commits that begin empty in todo editor
A Windows-specific test element has been made more robust against
misuse from both user's environment and programmer's errors.
* js/mingw-is-hidden-test-fix:
t: restrict `is_hidden` to be called only on Windows
mingw: make test_path_is_hidden more robust
t: consolidate the `is_hidden` functions
The interactive input from various codepaths are consolidated and
any prompt possibly issued earlier are fflush()ed before we read.
* js/flush-prompt-before-interative-input:
interactive: explicitly `fflush` stdout before expecting input
interactive: refactor code asking the user for interactive input
"git log" learned "--show-pulls" that helps pathspec limited
history views; a merge commit that takes the whole change from a
side branch, which is normally omitted from the output, is shown
in addition to the commits that introduce real changes.
* ds/revision-show-pulls:
revision: --show-pulls adds helpful merges
Misc fixes for Windows.
* js/mingw-fixes:
mingw: help debugging by optionally executing bash with strace
mingw: do not treat `COM0` as a reserved file name
mingw: use modern strftime implementation if possible
We've left the command line parsing of "git log :/a/b/" broken for
about a full year without anybody noticing, which has been
corrected.
* jc/missing-ref-store-fix:
repository: mark the "refs" pointer as private
sha1-name: do not assume that the ref store is initialized
The output from "git format-patch" uses RFC 2047 encoding for
non-ASCII letters on From: and Subject: headers, so that it can
directly be fed to e-mail programs. A new option has been added
to produce these headers in raw.
* eb/format-patch-no-encode-headers:
format-patch: teach --no-encode-email-headers
The more aggressive updates to remote-tracking branches we had for
the past 7 years or so were not reflected in the documentation,
which has been corrected.
* pb/pull-fetch-doc:
pull doc: correct outdated description of an example
pull doc: refer to a specific section in 'fetch' doc
"git rebase" learned the "--no-gpg-sign" option to countermand
commit.gpgSign the user may have.
* dd/no-gpg-sign:
Documentation: document merge option --no-gpg-sign
Documentation: merge commit-tree --[no-]gpg-sign
Documentation: reword commit --no-gpg-sign
Documentation: document am --no-gpg-sign
cherry-pick/revert: honour --no-gpg-sign in all case
rebase.c: honour --no-gpg-sign
The logic to auto-follow tags by "git clone --single-branch" was
not careful to avoid lazy-fetching unnecessary tags, which has been
corrected.
* jk/use-quick-lookup-in-clone-for-tag-following:
clone: use "quick" lookup while following tags
"git rebase" with the merge backend did not work well when the
rebase.abbreviateCommands configuration was set.
* ag/rebase-merge-allow-ff-under-abbrev-command:
t3432: test `--merge' with `rebase.abbreviateCommands = true', too
sequencer: don't abbreviate a command if it doesn't have a short form
Code cleanup.
* jk/oid-array-cleanups:
oidset: stop referring to sha1-array
ref-filter: stop referring to "sha1 array"
bisect: stop referring to sha1_array
test-tool: rename sha1-array to oid-array
oid_array: rename source file from sha1-array
oid_array: use size_t for iteration
oid_array: use size_t for count and allocation
"git pull --rebase" tried to run a rebase even after noticing that
the pull results in a fast-forward and no rebase is needed nor
sensible, for the past few years due to a mistake nobody noticed.
* en/pull-do-not-rebase-after-fast-forwarding:
pull: avoid running both merge and rebase
"git pull" shares many options with underlying "git fetch", but
some of them were not documented and some of those that would make
sense to pass down were not passed down.
* rs/pull-options-sync-code-and-doc:
pull: pass documented fetch options on
pull: remove --update-head-ok from documentation
The server-end of the v2 protocol to serve "git clone" and "git
fetch" was not prepared to see a delim packets at unexpected
places, which led to a crash.
* jk/harden-protocol-v2-delim-handling:
test-lib-functions: simplify packetize() stdin code
upload-pack: handle unexpected delim packets
test-lib-functions: make packetize() more efficient
Utitiles run via the run_command() API were not spawned correctly
on Cygwin, when the paths to them are given as a full path with
backslashes.
* ak/run-command-on-cygwin-fix:
run-command: trigger PATH lookup properly on Cygwin
When fed a midx that records no objects, some codepaths tried to
loop from 0 through (num_objects-1), which, due to integer
arithmetic wrapping around, made it nonsense operation with out of
bounds array accesses. The code has been corrected to reject such
an midx file.
* dr/midx-avoid-int-underflow:
midx.c: fix an integer underflow
Simplify the commit ancestry connectedness check in a partial clone
repository in which "promised" objects are assumed to be obtainable
lazily on-demand from promisor remote repositories.
* jt/connectivity-check-optim-in-partial-clone:
connected: always use partial clone optimization
"git p4" learned four new hooks and also "--no-verify" option to
bypass them (and the existing "p4-pre-submit" hook).
* bk/p4-pre-edit-changelist:
git-p4: add RCS keyword status message
git-p4: add p4 submit hooks
git-p4: restructure code in submit
git-p4: add --no-verify option
git-p4: add p4-pre-submit exit text
git-p4: create new function run_git_hook
git-p4: rewrite prompt to be Windows compatible
The import-tars importer (in contrib/fast-import/) used to create
phony files at the top-level of the repository when the archive
contains global PAX headers, which made its own logic to detect and
omit the common leading directory ineffective, which has been
corrected.
* js/import-tars-do-not-make-phony-files-from-pax-headers:
import-tars: ignore the global PAX header
Enable tests that require GnuPG on Windows.
* js/tests-gpg-integration-on-windows:
tests: increase the verbosity of the GPG-related prereqs
tests: turn GPG, GPGSM and RFC1991 into lazy prereqs
tests: do not let lazy prereqs inside `test_expect_*` turn off tracing
t/lib-gpg.sh: stop pretending to be a stand-alone script
tests(gpg): allow the gpg-agent to start on Windows
