Many users misunderstand the --assume-unchanged contract, believing
it means Git won't look at the flagged file.
Be explicit that the --assume-unchanged contract is by the user that
they will NOT change the file so that Git does not need to look (and
expend, for example, lstat(2) cycles)
Mentioning "Git stops checking" does not help the reader, as it is
only one possible consequence of what that assumption allows Git to
do, but
(1) there are things other than "stop checking" that Git can do
based on that assumption; and
(2) Git is not obliged to stop checking; it merely is allowed to.
Also, this is a single flag bit, correct the plural to singular, and
the verb, accordingly.
Drop the stale and incorrect information about "poor-man's ignore",
which is not what this flag bit is about at all.

The caret (^) is used as a markup symbol in AsciiDoc. Due to the
inability of AsciiDoc to parse a line containing an unmatched caret, it
omitted the line from the output, resulting in the man page missing the
end of a sentence. Escape this caret so that the man page ends up with

We create a directory that cannot be removed, confirm that
it cannot be removed, and then fix it like:
chmod 0 foo &&
test_must_fail git clean -d -f &&
chmod 755 foo
If the middle step fails but leaves the directory (e.g., the
bug is that clean does not notice the failure), this
pollutes the test repo with an unremovable directory. Not
only does this cause further tests to fail, but it means
that "rm -rf" fails on the whole trash directory, and the
user has to intervene manually to even re-run the test script.
We can bump the "chmod 755" recovery to a test_when_finished
block to be sure that it always runs.

Not all shells subject the prompt string to parameter expansion. Test
whether the shell will expand the value of PS1, and use the result to
control whether raw ref names are included directly in PS1.
This fixes a regression introduced in commit 8976500 ("git-prompt.sh:
don't put unsanitized branch names in $PS1"): zsh does not expand PS1
by default, but that commit assumed it did. The bug resulted in
prompts containing the literal string '${__git_ps1_branch_name}'
instead of the actual branch name.

the patch, git-apply rejects the patch due to abbreviated blob
object names. This is the error message git-apply emits in this

Fix a buffer over-stepping issue triggered by providing an absolute path
that is similar to the work tree path.
abspath_part_inside_repo() may currently increment the path pointer by
offset_1st_component() + wtlen, which is too much, since
offset_1st_component() is a subset of wtlen.
For the *nix-style prefix '/', this does (by luck) not cause any issues,
since offset_1st_component() is 1 and there will always be a '/' or '\0'
that can "absorb" this.
In the case of DOS-style prefixes though, the offset_1st_component() is
3 and this can potentially over-step the string buffer. For example if
work_tree = "c:/r"
path = "c:/rl"
Then wtlen is 4, and incrementing the path pointer by (3 + 4) would
end up 2 bytes outside a string buffer of length 6.
Similarly if
work_tree = "c:/r"
path = "c:/rl/d/a"
Then (since the loop starts by also incrementing the pointer one step),
this would mean that the function would miss checking if "c:/rl/d" could
be the work_tree, arguably this is unlikely though, since it would only
be possible with symlinks on windows.
Fix this by simply avoiding to increment by offset_1st_component() and
wtlen at the same time.

Both bash and zsh subject the value of PS1 to parameter expansion,
command substitution, and arithmetic expansion. Rather than include
the raw, unescaped branch name in PS1 when running in two- or
three-argument mode, construct PS1 to reference a variable that holds
the branch name. Because the shells do not recursively expand, this
avoids arbitrary code execution by specially-crafted branch names such
as '$(IFS=_;cmd=sudo_rm_-rf_/;$cmd)'.

This reverts commit 99855ddf4b.
The workaround 99855ddf introduced to deal with problematic
"return" statements in scripts run by "dot" commands located
inside functions only handles one part of the problem. The
issue has now been addressed by not using "return" statements
in this way in the git-rebase--*.sh scripts.
This workaround is therefore no longer necessary, so clean
up the code by reverting it.

Since a1549e10, 15d4bf2e and 01a1e646 (first appearing in v1.8.4)
the git-rebase--*.sh scripts have used a "return" to stop execution
of the dot-sourced file and return to the "dot" command that
dot-sourced it. The /bin/sh utility on FreeBSD however behaves
poorly under some circumstances when such a "return" is executed.
In particular, if the "dot" command is contained within a function,
then when a "return" is executed by the script it runs (that is not
itself inside a function), control will return from the function
that contains the "dot" command skipping any statements that might
follow the dot command inside that function. Commit 99855ddf (first
appearing in v1.8.4.1) addresses this by making the "dot" command
the last line in the function.
Unfortunately the FreeBSD /bin/sh may also execute some statements
in the script run by the "dot" command that appear after the
troublesome "return". The fix in 99855ddf does not address this
problem.
For example, if you have script1.sh with these contents:
run_script2() {
. "$(dirname -- "$0")/script2.sh"
_e=$?
echo only this line should show
[ $_e -eq 5 ] || echo expected status 5 got $_e
return 3
}
run_script2
e=$?
[ $e -eq 3 ] || { echo expected status 3 got $e; exit 1; }
And script2.sh with these contents:
if [ 5 -gt 3 ]; then
return 5
fi
case bad in *)
echo always shows
esac
echo should not get here
! :
When running script1.sh (e.g. '/bin/sh script1.sh' or './script1.sh'
after making it executable), the expected output from a POSIX shell
is simply the single line:
only this line should show
However, when run using FreeBSD's /bin/sh, the following output
appears instead:
should not get here
expected status 3 got 1
Not only did the lines following the "dot" command in the run_script2
function in script1.sh get skipped, but additional lines in script2.sh
following the "return" got executed -- but not all of them (e.g. the
"echo always shows" line did not run).
These issues can be avoided by not using a top-level "return" in
script2.sh. If script2.sh is changed to this:
main() {
if [ 5 -gt 3 ]; then
return 5
fi
case bad in *)
echo always shows
esac
echo should not get here
! :
}
main
Then it behaves the same when using FreeBSD's /bin/sh as when using
other more POSIX compliant /bin/sh implementations.
We fix the git-rebase--*.sh scripts in a similar fashion by moving
the top-level code that contains "return" statements into its own
function and then calling that as the last line in the script.

Since fd0a8c2e (first appearing in v1.7.0), the
t/t5560-http-backend-noserver.sh test has used a backslash escape
inside a ${} expansion in order to specify a literal '?' character.
Unfortunately the FreeBSD /bin/sh does not interpret this correctly.
In a POSIX compliant shell, the following:
x='one?two?three'
echo "${x#*\?}"
Would be expected to produce this:
two?three
When using the FreeBSD /bin/sh instead you get this:
one?two?three
In fact the FreeBSD /bin/sh treats the backslash as a literal
character to match so that this:
y='one\two\three'
echo "${y#*\?}"
Produces this unexpected value:
wo\three
In this case the backslash is not only treated literally, it also
fails to defeat the special meaning of the '?' character.
Instead, we can use the [...] construct to defeat the special meaning
of the '?' character and match it exactly in a way that works for the
FreeBSD /bin/sh as well as other POSIX /bin/sh implementations.
Changing the example like so:
x='one?two?three'
echo "${x#*[?]}"
Produces the expected output using the FreeBSD /bin/sh.
Therefore, change the use of \? to [?] in order to be compatible with
the FreeBSD /bin/sh which allows t/t5560-http-backend-noserver.sh to
pass on FreeBSD again.

Since 11502468 and 04c1ee57 (both first appearing in v1.8.5), the
t7001-mv test has used "cp -a" to perform a copy in several of the
tests.
However, the "-a" option is not required for a POSIX cp utility and
some platforms' cp utilities do not support it.
The POSIX equivalent of -a is -R -P -p.
Change "cp -a" to "cp -R -P -p" so that the t7001-mv test works
on systems with a cp utility that only implements the POSIX
required set of options and not the "-a" option.

Unicode 6.3 defines more code points as combining or accents. For
example, the character "ö" could be expressed as an "o" followed by
U+0308 COMBINING DIARESIS (aka umlaut, double-dot-above). We should
consider that such a sequence of two codepoints occupies one display
column for the alignment purposes, and for that, git_wcwidth()
should return 0 for them. Affected codepoints are:
U+0358..U+035C
U+0487
