d6ecf5638d Merge branch 'bw/config-lift-variable-name-length-limit' into maint
The configuration parser had an unnecessary hardcoded limit on
variable names that was not checked consistently.

* bw/config-lift-variable-name-length-limit:
  Remove the hard coded length limit on variable names in config files

962c38eedd config: don't segfault when given --path with a missing value
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.

afa8c07a26 checkout: print a message when switching unborn branches
When we switch to a new branch using checkout, we usually output a
message indicating what happened. However, when we switch from an unborn
branch to a new branch, we do not print anything, which may leave the
user wondering what happened.

The reason is that the unborn branch is a special case (see abe1998),
and does not follow the usual switch_branches code path. Let's add a
similar informational message to the special case to match the usual
code path.

048b399192 gitweb.perl: fix %highlight_ext mappings
When commit 592ea41 refactored the list of extensions for
syntax highlighting, it failed to take into account perl's
operator precedence within lists. As a result, we end up
creating a dictionary of one-to-one elements when the intent
was to map mutliple related types to one main type (e.g.,
bash, ksh, zsh, and sh should all map to sh since they share
similar syntax, but we ended up just mapping "bash" to
"bash" and so forth).

This patch adds parentheses to make the mapping as the
original change intended. It also reorganizes the list to
keep mapped extensions together.

0e18bcd5e9 reencode_string(): introduce and use same_encoding()
Callers of reencode_string() that re-encodes a string from one
encoding to another all used ad-hoc way to bypass the case where the
input and the output encodings are the same.  Some did strcmp(),
some did strcasecmp(), yet some others when converting to UTF-8 used
is_encoding_utf8().

Introduce same_encoding() helper function to make these callers use
the same logic.  Notably, is_encoding_utf8() has a work-around for
common misconfiguration to use "utf8" to name UTF-8 encoding, which
does not match "UTF-8" hence strcasecmp() would not consider the
same.  Make use of it in this helper function.

ef90ab66e8 pickaxe: use textconv for -S counting
We currently just look at raw blob data when using "-S" to
pickaxe. This is mostly historical, as pickaxe predates the
textconv feature. If the user has bothered to define a
textconv filter, it is more likely that their search string will be
on the textconv output, as that is what they will see in the
diff (and we do not even provide a mechanism for them to
search for binary needles that contain NUL characters).

This patch teaches "-S" to use textconv, just as we
already do for "-G".

8fa4b09fb1 pickaxe: hoist empty needle check
If we are given an empty pickaxe needle like "git log -S ''",
it is impossible for us to find anything (because no matter
what the content, the count will always be 0). We currently
check this at the lowest level of contains(). Let's hoist
the logic much earlier to has_changes(), so that it is
simpler to return our answer before loading any blob data.

b1c2f57db3 diff_grep: use textconv buffers for add/deleted files
If you use "-G" to grep a diff, we will apply a configured
textconv filter to the data before generating the diff.
However, if the diff is an addition or deletion, we do not
bother running the diff at all, and just look for the token
in the added (or removed) content. This works because we
know that the diff must contain every line of content.

However, while we used the textconv-derived buffers in the
regular diff, we accidentally passed the original unmodified
buffers to regexec when checking the added or removed
content. This could lead to an incorrect answer.

Worse, in some cases we might have a textconv buffer but no
original buffer (e.g., if we pulled the textconv data from
cache, or if we reused a working tree file when generating
it). In that case, we could actually feed NULL to regexec
and segfault.

e980765c59 git-pull: Avoid merge-base on detached head
git pull --rebase does some clever tricks to find the base
for $upstream, but it forgets that we may not have any
branch at all.  When this happens, git merge-base reports its
"usage" help in the middle of an otherwise successful
rebase operation, because git-merge is called with one too
few parameters.

Since we do not need the merge-base trick in the case of a
detached HEAD, detect this condition and bypass the clever
trick and the usage noise.

b274a7146c Fix failure to delete a packed ref through a symref
When deleting a ref through a symref (e.g. using 'git update-ref -d HEAD'
to delete refs/heads/master), we would remove the loose ref, but a packed
version of the same ref would remain, the end result being that instead of
deleting refs/heads/master we would appear to reset it to its state as of
the last repack.

7202b81ffc Fix potential hang in https handshake
It has been observed that curl_multi_timeout may return a very long
timeout value (e.g., 294 seconds and some usec) just before
curl_multi_fdset returns no file descriptors for reading.  The
upshot is that select() will hang for a long time -- long enough for
an https handshake to be dropped.  The observed behavior is that
the git command will hang at the terminal and never transfer any
data.

This patch is a workaround for a probable bug in libcurl.  The bug
only seems to manifest around a very specific set of circumstances:

- curl version (from curl/curlver.h):

 #define LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM 0x071307

- git-remote-https running on an ubuntu-lucid VM.
- Connecting through squid proxy running on another VM.

Interestingly, the problem doesn't manifest if a host connects
through squid proxy running on localhost; only if the proxy is on
a separate VM (not sure if the squid host needs to be on a separate
physical machine).  That would seem to suggest that this issue
is timing-sensitive.

This patch is more or less in line with a recommendation in the
curl docs about how to behave when curl_multi_fdset doesn't return
and file descriptors:

0fe700e311 branch: skip commit checks when deleting symref branches
Before a branch is deleted, we check that it points to a valid
commit.  With -d we also check that the commit is a merged; this
check is not done with -D.

The reason for that is that commits pointed to by branches should
never go missing; if they do then something broke and it's better
to stop instead of adding to the mess.  And a non-merged commit
may contain changes that are worth preserving, so we require the
stronger option -D instead of -d to get rid of them.

If a branch consists of a symref, these concerns don't apply.
Deleting such a branch can't make a commit become unreferenced,
so we don't need to check if it is merged, or even if it is
actually a valid commit.  Skip them in that case.  This allows
us to delete dangling symref branches.

25dc8dad3a format-patch tests: check quoting/encoding in To: and Cc: headers
git-format-patch does currently not parse user supplied extra header
values (e. g., --cc, --add-header) and just replays them. That forces
users to add them RFC 2822/2047 conform in encoded form, e.g.

    --cc '=?UTF-8?q?Jan=20H=2E=20Sch=C3=B6nherr?= <...>'

which is inconvenient. We would want to update git-format-patch to
accept human-readable input

    --cc 'Jan H. Schönherr <...>'

and handle the encoding, wrapping and quoting internally in the future,
similar to what is already done in git-send-email. The necessary code
should mostly exist in the code paths that handle the From: and Subject:
headers.

Whether we want to do this only for the git-format-patch options
--to and --cc (and the corresponding config options) or also for
user supplied headers via --add-header, is open for discussion.

For now, add test_expect_failure tests for To: and Cc: headers as a
reminder and fix tests that would otherwise fail should this get
implemented.

This especially fixes a problem, where RFC 822 specials (e. g. ".") were

14e1a4e1ff utf8: fix off-by-one wrapping of text
The wrapping logic in strbuf_add_wrapped_text() does currently not allow
lines that entirely fill the allowed width, instead it wraps the line one
character too early.

For example, the text "This is the sixth commit." formatted via
"%w(11,1,2)" (wrap at 11 characters, 1 char indent of first line, 2 char
indent of following lines) results in four lines: " This is", "  the",
"  sixth", "  commit." This is wrong, because "  the sixth" is exactly
11 characters long, and thus allowed.

Fix this by allowing the (width+1) character of a line to be a valid
wrapping point if it is a whitespace character.

df46eda388 git-gui: Don't prepend the prefix if value looks like a full path
When argument parsing fails to detect a file name, "git-gui" will try to
use the previously detected "head" as the file name. We should avoid
prepending the prefix if "head" looks like a full path.

e3d06ca93e git-gui: Detect full path when parsing arguments
When running "git-gui blame" from a subfolder (which means prefix is
non-empty), if we pass a full path as argument, the argument parsing
will fail to recognize the argument as a file name, because prefix is
prepended to the argument.

This patch handles that scenario by adding an additional branch that
checks the file name without using the prefix.

74faaa16f0 Fix "git diff --stat" for interesting - but empty - file changes
The behavior of "git diff --stat" is rather odd for files that have
zero lines of changes: it will discount them entirely unless they were
renames.

Which means that the stat output will simply not show files that only
had "other" changes: they were created or deleted, or their mode was
changed.

Now, those changes do show up in the summary, but so do renames, so
the diffstat logic is inconsistent. Why does it show renames with zero
lines changed, but not mode changes or added files with zero lines
changed?

So change the logic to not check for "is_renamed", but for
"is_interesting" instead, where "interesting" is judged to be any
action but a pure data change (because a pure data change with zero
data changed really isn't worth showing, if we ever get one in our
diffpairs).

So if you did

   chmod +x Makefile
   git diff --stat

before, it would show empty (" 0 files changed"), with this it shows

 Makefile | 0
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

which I think is a more correct diffstat (and then with "--summary" it
shows *what* the metadata change to Makefile was - this is completely
consistent with our handling of renamed files).

Side note: the old behavior was *really* odd. With no changes at all,
"git diff --stat" output was empty. With just a chmod, it said "0
files changed". No way is our legacy behavior sane.
