Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.
This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Thomas Rast: fix core.notesRef documentation
- Tor Arne Vestbø: fix printing of multi-line notes
- Alex Riesen: Using char array instead of char pointer costs less BSS
- Johan Herland: Plug leak when msg is good, but msglen or type causes return

get_commit_notes(): Plug memory leak when 'if' triggers, but not because of read_sha1_file() failure
In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:
- write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+ strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+ write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+ strbuf_reset(&buf);
IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,
static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
{
return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
}
and then use it like this:
- strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
- write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
- strbuf_reset(&buf);
+ write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");
Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.
Transformed via this:
perl -pi -e \
's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\
$(git grep -l 'write_in_full.*"')

git repack: keep commits hidden by a graft
Add a test showing that 'git repack' throws away grafted-away parents
Conflicts:
git-repack.sh
When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different
parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous
to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily
remove the graft and end up with a broken repository.
So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything
that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents.
As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that
command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull
duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted
parents.

This patch adds the "unparse_commit" function that returns a commit
into an unparsed state by freeing its data and resetting its fields
to 0.
Its parents are recursively unparsed too, because they might have
been changed. But its tree is not unparsed as it should not have
been modifed.
Note that as the "flags" and "used" fields may be used even if the
object is not parsed, we have to reset them anyway.

We used to set the TOPOSORT flag of commits during the topological
sorting, but we can just as well use the member "indegree" for it:
indegree is now incremented by 1 in the cases where the commit used
to have the TOPOSORT flag.
This is the same behavior as before, since indegree could not be
non-zero when TOPOSORT was unset.
Incidentally, this fixes the bug in show-branch where the 8th column
was not shown: show-branch sorts the commits in topological order,
assuming that all the commit flags are available for show-branch's
private matters.
But this was not true: TOPOSORT was identical to the flag corresponding
to the 8th ref. So the flags for the 8th column were unset by the
topological sorting.

When comparing two commit objects for equality, it is sufficient to
compare their in-core pointers because the object layer guarantees the
uniqueness. However, comparing pointers to two "struct commit_list"

The new function reduce_heads() is given a list of commits, and removes
ones that can be reached from other commits in the list. It is useful for
reducing the commits randomly thrown at the git-merge command and remove
redundant commits that the user shouldn't have given to it.
The implementation uses the get_merge_bases_many() introduced in the
previous commit. If the merge base between one commit taken from the list
and the remaining commits is the commit itself, that means the commit is
reachable from some of the other commits.

This introduces a new function get_merge_bases_many() which is a natural
extension of two commit merge base computation. It is given one commit
(one) and a set of other commits (twos), and computes the merge base of
one and a merge across other commits.
This is mostly useful to figure out the common ancestor when iterating
over heads during an octopus merge. When making an octopus between
commits A, B, C and D, we first merge tree of A and B, and then try to
merge C with it. If we were making pairwise merge, we would be recording
the tree resulting from the merge between A and B as a commit, say M, and
then the next round we will be computing the merge base between M and C.
o---C...*
/ .
o---B...M
/ .
o---o---A
But during an octopus merge, we actually do not create a commit M. In
order to figure out that the common ancestor to use for this merge,
instead of computing the merge base between C and M, we can call
merge_bases_many() with one set to C and twos containing A and B.

This tightens the parsing of a commit object in a couple of ways.
- The "tree " header must end with a LF (earlier we did not
check this condition).
- Make sure parsing of timestamp on the "committer " header
does not go beyond the buffer, even when (1) the "author "
header does not end with a LF (this means that the commit
object is malformed and lacks the committer information) or
(2) the "committer " header does not have ">" that is the end
of the e-mail address, or (3) the "committer " header does
not end with a LF.
We however still keep the existing behaviour to return a parsed
commit object even when non-structural headers such as committer
and author are malformed, so that tools that need to look at
commits to clean up a history with such broken commits can still
get at the structural data (i.e. the parents chain and the tree
object).

This currently grows the "struct commit" a bit, which could be avoided by
using a union for "util" and "indegree" (the topo-sort used to use "util"
anyway, so you cannot use them together), but for now the goal of this was

When the body of the commit log message contains a non-ASCII character,
format-patch correctly emitted the encoding header to mark the resulting
message as such. However, if the original message was fully ASCII, the
command line switch "-s" was given to add a new sign-off, and
the signer's name was not ASCII only, the resulting message would have
contained non-ASCII character but was not marked as such.

Before this patch, clear_commit_marks() recursed for each parent. This
could be potentially very expensive in terms of stack space. Probably
the only reason that this did not lead to problems is the fact that we
typically call clear_commit_marks() after marking a relatively small set
of commits.
Use (sort of) a tail recursion instead: first recurse on the parents
other than the first one, and then continue the loop with the first
parent.

For that purpose, the ->buf is always initialized with a char * buf living
in the strbuf module. It is made a char * so that we can sloppily accept
things that perform: sb->buf[0] = '\0', and because you can't pass "" as an
initializer for ->buf without making gcc unhappy for very good reasons.
strbuf_init/_detach/_grow have been fixed to trust ->alloc and not ->buf
anymore.
as a consequence strbuf_detach is _mandatory_ to detach a buffer, copying
->buf isn't an option anymore, if ->buf is going to escape from the scope,
and eventually be free'd.
API changes:
* strbuf_setlen now always works, so just make strbuf_reset a convenience
macro.
* strbuf_detatch takes a size_t* optional argument (meaning it can be
NULL) to copy the buffer's len, as it was needed for this refactor to
make the code more readable, and working like the callers.

add_user_info() possibly adds way more than just the commit header line.
In fact, it sometimes needs so much more space that there is a buffer
overrun, leading to an ugly crash. For example, the date is printed in its

So, for good measure, add 80 characters (a full line) to the allocated
