then possible to accept/discard one patch, accept all, or quit.
This interactive mode is similar with 'git send email' behaviour. However,
'git svn dcommit' returns as soon as one patch is discarded.
Part of the code was taken from git-send-email.perl (see 'ask' function)

When the git-daemon is asked about an inaccessible repository, it simply
hangs up the connection without saying anything further. This makes it
hard to distinguish between a repository we cannot access (e.g., due to
typo), and a service or network outage.
Instead, let's print an "ERR" line, which git clients understand since
v1.6.1 (2008-12-24).
Because there is a risk of leaking information about non-exported
repositories, by default all errors simply say "access denied or
repository not exported". Sites which don't have hidden repositories, or
don't care, can pass a flag to turn on more specific messages.

Implemented internally instead of as "git merge --no-commit && git commit"
so that "merge --edit" is otherwise consistent (hooks, etc) with "merge".
Note: the edit message does not include the status information that one
gets with "commit --status" and it is cleaned up after editing like one
gets with "commit --cleanup=default". A later patch could add the status
information if desired.
Note: previously we were not calling stripspace() after running the
prepare-commit-msg hook. Now we are, stripping comments and
leading/trailing whitespace lines if --edit is given, otherwise only
stripping leading/trailing whitespace lines if not given --edit.

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.

Since much of the infrastructure does not work correctly with
unnormalized refnames, change check_refname_format() to reject them.
Similarly, change "git check-ref-format" to reject unnormalized
refnames by default. But add an option --normalize, which causes "git
check-ref-format" to normalize the refname before checking its format,
and print the normalized refname. This is exactly the behavior of the
old --print option, which is retained but deprecated.

Also add tests of the new options. (Actually, one big reason to add
the new options is to make it easy to test check_ref_format(), though
the options should also be useful to other scripts.)
Interpret the result of check_ref_format() based on which types of
refnames are allowed. However, because check_ref_format() can only
return a single value, one test case is still broken. Specifically,
the case "git check-ref-format --onelevel '*'" incorrectly succeeds
because check_ref_format() returns CHECK_REF_FORMAT_ONELEVEL for this
refname even though the refname is also CHECK_REF_FORMAT_WILDCARD.
The type of check that leads to this failure is used elsewhere in
"real" code and could lead to bugs; it will be fixed over the next few
commits.

its usual behaviour of finding them in the tracked files.
By default, when working with "--no-index" option, "grep" does not pay
attention to .gitignore mechanism. "grep --no-index --exclude-standard"
can be used to tell the command to use .gitignore and stop reporting hits
from files that would be ignored. Also, when working without "--no-index",

Before falling back to gethostname(), check /etc/mailname if
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL is not set in the environment or through config
files. Only fall back if /etc/mailname cannot be opened or read.
The /etc/mailname convention comes from Debian policy section 11.6
("mail transport, delivery and user agents"), though maybe it could be
useful sometimes on other machines, too. The lack of this support was
noticed by various people in different ways:
- Ian observed that git was choosing the address
'ian@anarres.relativity.greenend.org.uk' rather than
'ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk' as it should have done.
- Jonathan noticed that operations like "git commit" were needlessly
slow when using a resolver that was slow to handle reverse DNS
lookups.
Alas, after this patch, if /etc/mailname is set up and the [user] name
and email configuration aren't, the committer email will not provide a
charming reminder of which machine commits were made on any more. But
I think it's worth it.
Mechanics: the functionality of reading mailname goes in its own
function, so people who care about other distros can easily add an
implementation to a similar location without making copy_email() too
long and losing clarity. While at it, we split out the fallback
default logic that does gethostname(), too (rearranging it a little
and adding a check for errors from gethostname while at it).

It is natural to expect that an option defined with OPT_BOOLEAN() could be
used in this way:
int option = -1; /* unspecified */
struct option options[] = {
OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "option", &option, "set option"),
OPT_END()
};
parse_options(ac, av, prefix, options, usage, 0);
if (option < 0)
... do the default thing ...
else if (!option)
... --no-option was given ...
else
... --option was given ...
to easily tell three cases apart:
- There is no mention of the `--option` on the command line;
- The variable is positively set with `--option`; or
- The variable is explicitly negated with `--no-option`.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. OPT_BOOLEAN() increments the variable
every time `--option` is given, and resets it to zero when `--no-option`
is given.
As a first step to remedy this, introduce a true boolean OPT_BOOL(), and
rename OPT_BOOLEAN() to OPT_COUNTUP(). To help transitioning, OPT_BOOLEAN
and OPTION_BOOLEAN are defined as deprecated synonyms to OPT_COUNTUP and
OPTION_COUNTUP respectively.
This is what db7244b (parse-options new features., 2007-11-07) from four
years ago started by marking OPTION_BOOLEAN as "INCR would have been a
better name".
Some existing users do depend on the count-up semantics; for example,
users of OPT__VERBOSE() could use it to raise the verbosity level with
repeated use of `-v` on the command line, but they probably should be
rewritten to use OPT__VERBOSITY() instead these days. I suspect that some
users of OPT__FORCE() may also use it to implement different level of
forcibleness but I didn't check.
On top of this patch, here are the remaining clean-up tasks that other
people can help:
- Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT_BOOLEAN"; trace all uses of the
value that is set to the underlying variable, and if it can proven that
the variable is only used as a boolean, replace it with OPT_BOOL(). If
the caller does depend on the count-up semantics, replace it with
OPT_COUNTUP() instead.
- Same for OPTION_BOOLEAN; replace it with OPTION_SET_INT and arrange to
set 1 to the variable for a true boolean, and otherwise replace it with
OPTION_COUNTUP.
- Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT__VERBOSE -e OPT__QUIET" and see if
they can be replaced with OPT__VERBOSITY().
I'll follow this message up with a separate patch as an example.

The negation example uses '*' to match everything. This used to work
before 9037026 (unpack-trees: fix sparse checkout's "unable to match
directories") because back then, the list of paths is used to match
sparse patterns, so with the patterns
*
!subdir/
subdir/ always matches any path that start with subdir/ and "*" has no
chance to get tested. The result is subdir is excluded.
After the said commit, a tree structure is dynamically created and
sparse pattern matching now follows closely how read_directory()
applies .gitignore. This solves one problem, but reveals another one.
With this new strategy, "!subdir/" rule will be only tested once when
"subdir" directory is examined. Entries inside subdir, when examined,
will match "*" and are (correctly) re-added again because any rules
without a slash will match at every directory level. In the end, "*"
can revert every negation rules.
In order to correctly exclude subdir, we must use
/*
!subdir
to limit "match all" rule at top level only.
"*" rule has no actual use in sparse checkout and can be confusing to
users. While we can automatically turn "*" to "/*", this violates
.gitignore definition. Instead, discourage "*" in favor of "/*" (in
the second example).

Mergetool now treats its path arguments as a pathspec (like other git

Files matching the pathspec are filtered so mergetool only acts on
unmerged paths; previously it would assume each path argument was in an
unresolved state, and get confused when it couldn't check out their
other stages.

The description of .git/info/sparse-checkout and
skip-worktree is exactly the opposite of what is true, which is:
If a file matches a pattern in sparse-checkout, then (it is to be
checked out and therefore) skip-worktree is unset for that file;
otherwise, it is set (so that it is not checked out).
Currently, the opposite is documented, and (consistently) read-tree's
behavior with respect to bit flips is descibed incorrectly.
Fix it.
In hindsight, it would have been much better to have a "sparse-ignore"
or "sparse-skip" file so that an empty file would mean a full checkout,
and the file logic would be analogous to that of .gitignore, excludes
and skip-worktree.

The submodule code recently grew generic code to build a

this, too, so let's make it generically available.
There are two enhancements not found in the original code:
1. We now handle the NULL-termination invariant properly,
even when no strings have been pushed (before, you
could have an empty, NULL argv). This was not a problem
for the submodule code, which always pushed at least
one argument, but was not sufficiently safe for
generic code.
2. There is a formatted variant of the "push" function.
This is a convenience function which was not needed by
the submodule code, but will make it easier to port

Allow git-svn to populate the svn:mergeinfo property automatically in
a narrow range of circumstances. Specifically, when dcommitting a
revision with multiple parents, all but (potentially) the first of
which have been committed to SVN in the same repository as the target
of the dcommit.
In this case, the merge info is the union of that given by each of the
parents, plus all changes introduced to the first parent by the other
parents.
In all other cases where a revision to be committed has multiple
parents, cause "git svn dcommit" to raise an error rather than
completing the commit and potentially losing history information in
the upstream SVN repository.
This behavior is disabled by default, and can be enabled by setting

capability, its purpose, and what commands it requires.
As a side effect, this makes it a little clearer that git doesn't

--no-to, and --no-add-headers, 2010-03-07) were not documented
anywhere. Add them to the descriptions of the positive forms.

The current explanation of -e can be misread as allowing the user to say
I know 'git clean -XYZ' (substitute -XYZ with any option and/or
parameter) will remove paths A, B, and C, and I want them all removed
except for paths matching this pattern by adding '-e C' to the same
command line, i.e. 'git clean -e C -XYZ'.
But that is not what this option does. It augments the set of ignore rules
from the command line, just like the same "-e <pattern>" argument does
with the "ls-files" command (the user could probably pass "-e \!C" to tell
the command to clean everything the command would normally remove, except
for C). Also error out when both -x and -e are given with an explanation of
what -e means---it is a symptom of misunderstanding what -e does.
It also fixes small style nit in the parameter to add_exclude() call. The
current code only works because EXC_CMDL happens to be defined as 0.

Allow pattern arguments for the list mode just like for git tag -l.

Currently, there is no way to invoke the list mode explicitly, without
giving -v to force verbose output.
Introduce a --list option which invokes the list mode. This will be
beneficial for invoking list mode with pattern matching, which otherwise
would be interpreted as branch creation.
Along with --list, test also combinations of existing options.

Long forms are better to memorize and more reliably uniform across
commands.
Names follow precedents, e.g. "git log --remotes".
