008e3cc5d7 config: display key_delim for config --bool --get-regexp
The previous logic in show_config was to print the delimiter when the
value was set, but Boolean variables have an implicit value "true" when
they appear with no value in the config file. As a result, we got:

git_Config        --get-regexp '.*\.Boolean'	#1. Ok: example.boolean
git_Config --bool --get-regexp '.*\.Boolean'	#2. NO: example.booleantrue

Fix this by defering the display of the separator until after the value
to display has been computed.

14937c2c06 diff: add option to show whole functions as context
Add the option -W/--function-context to git diff.  It is similar to
the same option of git grep and expands the context of change hunks
so that the whole surrounding function is shown.  This "natural"
context can allow changes to be understood better.

Note: GNU patch doesn't like diffs generated with the new option;
it seems to expect context lines to be the same before and after
changes.  git apply doesn't complain.

This implementation has the same shortcoming as the one in grep,
namely that there is no way to explicitly find the end of a
function.  That means that a few lines of extra context are shown,
right up to the next recognized function begins.  It's already
useful in its current form, though.

The function get_func_line() in xdiff/xemit.c is extended to work
forward as well as backward to find post-context as well as
pre-context.  It returns the position of the first found matching
line.  The func_line parameter is made optional, as we don't need
it for -W.

The enhanced function is then used in xdl_emit_diff() to extend
the context as needed.  If the added context overlaps with the
next change, it is merged into the current hunk.

687296960d refs.c: abort ref search if ref array is empty
The bsearch() implementation on IRIX 6.5 segfaults if it is passed NULL
for the base array argument even if number-of-elements is zero.  So, let's
work around it by detecting an empty array and aborting early.

This is a useful optimization in its own right anyway, since we avoid a
useless allocation and initialization of the ref_entry when the ref array
is empty.

43d20a8c50 refs.c: ensure struct whose member may be passed to realloc is initialized
The variable "refs" is allocated on the stack but is not initialized.  It
is passed to read_packed_refs(), and its struct members may eventually be
passed to add_ref() and ALLOC_GROW().  Since the structure has not been
initialized, its members may contain random non-zero values.  So let's
initialize it.

The call sequence looks something like this:

   resolve_gitlink_packed_ref(...) {

       struct cached_refs refs;
       ...
       read_packed_refs(f, &refs);
       ...
   }

   read_packed_refs(FILE*, struct cached_refs *cached_refs) {
       ...
       add_ref(name, sha1, flag, &cached_refs->packed, &last);
       ...
   }

   add_ref(..., struct ref_array *refs, struct ref_entry **) {
       ...
       ALLOC_GROW(refs->refs, refs->nr + 1, refs->alloc);
   }

53b742522c Makefile: fix permissions of mergetools/ checked out with permissive umask
Ever since mergetool--lib was split into multiple files in
v1.7.7-rc0~3^2~1 (2011-08-18), the Makefile takes care to reset umask
and use tar --no-owner when installing merge tool definitions to
$(gitexecdir)/mergetools/.  Unfortunately it does not take into
account the possibility that the permission bits of the files being
copied might already be wrong.

Rather than fixing the "tar" incantation and making it even more
complicated, let's just use the "install" utility.  This only means
losing the ability to install executables and subdirectories of
mergetools/, which wasn't used.

Noticed by installing from a copy of git checked out with umask 002.
Compare v1.6.0.3~81^2 (Fix permission bits on sources checked out with
an overtight umask, 2008-08-21).

2548183bad fix phantom untracked files when core.ignorecase is set
When core.ignorecase is turned on and there are stale index
entries, "git commit" can sometimes report directories as
untracked, even though they contain tracked files.

You can see an example of this with:

    # make a case-insensitive repo
    git init repo && cd repo &&
    git config core.ignorecase true &&

    # with some tracked files in a subdir
    mkdir subdir &&
    > subdir/one &&
    > subdir/two &&
    git add . &&
    git commit -m base &&

    # now make the index entries stale
    touch subdir/* &&

    # and then ask commit to update those entries and show
    # us the status template
    git commit -a

which will report "subdir/"  as untracked, even though it
clearly contains two tracked files. What is happening in the
commit program is this:

  1. We load the index, and for each entry, insert it into the index's
     name_hash. In addition, if ignorecase is turned on, we make an
     entry in the name_hash for the directory (e.g., "contrib/"), which
     uses the following code from 5102c61's hash_index_entry_directories:

        hash = hash_name(ce->name, ptr - ce->name);
        if (!lookup_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash)) {
                pos = insert_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash);
		if (pos) {
			ce->next = *pos;
			*pos = ce;
		}
        }

     Note that we only add the directory entry if there is not already an
     entry.

  2. We run add_files_to_cache, which gets updated information for each
     cache entry. It helpfully inserts this information into the cache,
     which calls replace_index_entry. This in turn calls
     remove_name_hash() on the old entry, and add_name_hash() on the new
     one. But remove_name_hash doesn't actually remove from the hash, it
     only marks it as "no longer interesting" (from cache.h):

      /*
       * We don't actually *remove* it, we can just mark it invalid so that
       * we won't find it in lookups.
       *
       * Not only would we have to search the lists (simple enough), but
       * we'd also have to rehash other hash buckets in case this makes the
       * hash bucket empty (common). So it's much better to just mark
       * it.
       */
      static inline void remove_name_hash(struct cache_entry *ce)
      {
              ce->ce_flags |= CE_UNHASHED;
      }

     This is OK in the specific-file case, since the entries in the hash
     form a linked list, and we can just skip the "not here anymore"
     entries during lookup.

     But for the directory hash entry, we will _not_ write a new entry,
     because there is already one there: the old one that is actually no
     longer interesting!

  3. While traversing the directories, we end up in the
     directory_exists_in_index_icase function to see if a directory is
     interesting. This in turn checks index_name_exists, which will
     look up the directory in the index's name_hash. We see the old,
     deleted record, and assume there is nothing interesting. The
     directory gets marked as untracked, even though there are index
     entries in it.

The problem is in the code I showed above:

        hash = hash_name(ce->name, ptr - ce->name);
        if (!lookup_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash)) {
                pos = insert_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash);
		if (pos) {
			ce->next = *pos;
			*pos = ce;
		}
        }

Having a single cache entry that represents the directory is
not enough; that entry may go away if the index is changed.
It may be tempting to say that the problem is in our removal
method; if we removed the entry entirely instead of simply
marking it as "not here anymore", then we would know we need
to insert a new entry. But that only covers this particular
case of remove-replace. In the more general case, consider
something like this:

  1. We add "foo/bar" and "foo/baz" to the index. Each gets
     their own entry in name_hash, plus we make a "foo/"
     entry that points to "foo/bar".

  2. We remove the "foo/bar" entry from the index, and from
     the name_hash.

  3. We ask if "foo/" exists, and see no entry, even though
     "foo/baz" exists.

So we need that directory entry to have the list of _all_
cache entries that indicate that the directory is tracked.
So that implies making a linked list as we do for other
entries, like:

  hash = hash_name(ce->name, ptr - ce->name);
  pos = insert_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash);
  if (pos) {
	  ce->next = *pos;
	  *pos = ce;
  }

But that's not right either. In fact, it shows a second bug
in the current code, which is that the "ce->next" pointer is
supposed to be linking entries for a specific filename
entry, but here we are overwriting it for the directory
entry. So the same cache entry ends up in two linked lists,
but they share the same "next" pointer.

As it turns out, this second bug can't be triggered in the
current code. The "if (pos)" conditional is totally dead
code; pos will only be non-NULL if there was an existing
hash entry, and we already checked that there wasn't one
through our call to lookup_hash.

But fixing the first bug means taking out that call to
lookup_hash, which is going to activate the buggy dead code,
and we'll end up splicing the two linked lists together.

So we need to have a separate next pointer for the list in
the directory bucket, and we need to traverse that list in
index_name_exists when we are looking up a directory.

This bloats "struct cache_entry" by a few bytes. Which is
annoying, because it's only necessary when core.ignorecase
is enabled. There's not an easy way around it, short of
separating out the "next" pointers from cache_entry entirely
(i.e., having a separate "cache_entry_list" struct that gets
stored in the name_hash). In practice, it probably doesn't
matter; we have thousands of cache entries, compared to the
millions of objects (where adding 4 bytes to the struct
actually does impact performance).

9fa8aecdeb revert.c: defer writing CHERRY_PICK_HEAD till it is safe to do so
do_pick_commit() writes out CHERRY_PICK_HEAD before invoking merge (either
via do_recursive_merge() or try_merge_command()) on the assumption that if
the merge fails it is due to conflict. However, if the tree is dirty, the
merge may not even start, aborting before do_pick_commit() can remove
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD.

Instead, defer writing CHERRY_PICK_HEAD till after merge has returned.
At this point we know the merge has either succeeded or failed due
to conflict. In either case, we want CHERRY_PICK_HEAD to be written
so that it may be picked up by the subsequent invocation of commit.

Note that do_recursive_merge() aborts if the merge cannot start, while
try_merge_command() returns a non-zero value other than 1.

64589a03a8 attr: read core.attributesfile from git_default_core_config
This code calls git_config from a helper function to parse the config entry
it is interested in.  Calling git_config in this way may cause a problem if
the helper function can be called after a previous call to git_config by
another function since the second call to git_config may reset some
variable to the value in the config file which was previously overridden.

The above is not a problem in this case since the function passed to
git_config only parses one config entry and the variable it sets is not
assigned outside of the parsing function.  But a programmer who desires
all of the standard config options to be parsed may be tempted to modify
git_attr_config() so that it falls back to git_default_config() and then it
_would_ be vulnerable to the above described behavior.

So, move the call to git_config up into the top-level cmd_* function and
move the responsibility for parsing core.attributesfile into the main
config file parser.

Which is only the logical thing to do ;-)

040a655116 cleanup: use internal memory allocation wrapper functions everywhere
The "x"-prefixed versions of strdup, malloc, etc. will check whether the

A few uses of malloc were left alone since they already implemented a
graceful path of failure or were in a quasi external library like xdiff.

Additionally, the call to malloc in compat/win32/syslog.c was not modified
since the syslog() implemented there is a die handler and a call to the
x-wrappers within a die handler could result in recursion should memory
allocation fail.  This will have to be addressed separately.

97410b27e9 attr.c: avoid inappropriate access to strbuf "buf" member
This code sequence performs a strcpy into the buf member of a strbuf
struct.  The strcpy may move the position of the terminating nul of the
string and effectively change the length of string so that it does not
match the len member of the strbuf struct.

Currently, this sequence works since the strbuf was given a hint when it
was initialized to allocate enough space to accomodate the string that will
be strcpy'ed, but this is an implementation detail of strbufs, not a
guarantee.

So, lets rework this sequence so that the strbuf is only manipulated by
strbuf functions, and direct modification of its "buf" member is not
necessary.

d30db5605b merge-one-file: fix "expr: non-numeric argument"
When invoking expr to compare two numbers, don't quote the
variables which are the output of 'wc -c'. On OS X, this output
includes spaces, which expr balks at:

  $ sz0=`wc -c </etc/passwd`
  $ sz1=`wc -c </etc/passwd`
  $ echo "'$sz0'"
  '    3667'

  $ expr "$sz0" \< "$sz1" \* 2
  expr: non-numeric argument

  $ expr $sz0 \< $sz1 \* 2
  1

d855e4d35d ident: do not retrieve default ident when unnecessary
Avoid a getpwuid() call (which contacts the network if the password
database is not local), read of /etc/mailname, gethostname() call, and
reverse DNS lookup if the user has already chosen a name and email
through configuration, the environment, or the command line.

This should slightly speed up commands like "git commit".  More
importantly, it improves error reporting when computation of the
default ident string does not go smoothly.  For example, after
detecting a problem (e.g., "warning: cannot open /etc/mailname:
Permission denied") in retrieving the default committer identity:

	touch /etc/mailname;	# as root
	chmod -r /etc/mailname;	# as root
	git commit -m 'test commit'

you can squelch the warning while waiting for your sysadmin to fix the
permissions problem.

	echo '[user] email = me@example.com' >>~/.gitconfig

dce4bab656 add_ref(): verify that the refname is formatted correctly
In add_ref(), verify that the refname is formatted correctly before
adding it to the ref_list.  Here we have to allow refname components
that start with ".", since (for example) the remote protocol uses
synthetic reference name ".have".  So add a new REFNAME_DOT_COMPONENT
flag that can be passed to check_refname_format() to allow leading
dots.

d51b720fca remote: avoid passing NULL to read_ref()
read_ref() can (and in test t5800, actually *does*) return NULL.
Don't pass the NULL along to read_ref().  Coincidentally, this mistake
didn't make resolve_ref() blow up, but upcoming changes to
resolve_ref() will make it less forgiving.

Immediately strip off trailing spaces and null-terminate the string
holding the contents of the reference file; this allows the use of
string functions and avoids the need to keep separate track of the
string's length.  (get_sha1_hex() fails automatically if the string is
too short.)
