Currently lib-submodule-update.sh provides 2 functions
test_submodule_switch and test_submodule_forced_switch that are used by a
variety of tests to ensure that submodules behave as expected. The current
expected behavior is that submodules are not touched at all (see
42639d2317 for the exact setup).
In the future we want to teach all these commands to recurse
into submodules. To do that, we'll add two testing functions to
submodule-update-lib.sh: test_submodule_switch_recursing and
test_submodule_forced_switch_recursing.
These two functions behave in analogy to the already existing functions
just with a different expectation on submodule behavior. The submodule
in the working tree is expected to be updated to the recorded submodule
version. The behavior is analogous to e.g. the behavior of files in a
nested directory in the working tree, where a change to the working tree
handles any arising directory/file conflicts just fine.

Adding the repository itself as a submodule does not make sense in the
real world. In our test suite we used to do that out of convenience in
some tests as the current repository has easiest access for setting up
'just a submodule'.
However this doesn't quite test the real world, so let's do not follow
this pattern any further and actually create an independent repository
that we can use as a submodule.
When using './.' as the remote the superproject and submodule share the
same objects, such that testing if a given sha1 is a valid commit works
in either repository. As running commands in an unpopulated submodule
fall back to the superproject, this happens in `reset_work_tree_to`
to determine if we need to populate the submodule. Fix this bug by
checking in the actual remote now.

Earlier, we punted and simply assumed that we are in the top-level
directory of the project, and that there is no .git file but a .git/
directory so that we can read directly from .git/config.
However, that is not necessarily true. We may be in a subdirectory. Or
.git may be a gitfile. Or the environment variable GIT_DIR may be set.
To remedy this situation, we just refactored the way
setup_git_directory() discovers the .git/ directory, to make it
reusable, and more importantly, to leave all global variables and the
current working directory alone.
Let's discover the .git/ directory correctly in read_early_config() by
using that new function.

When we want to get the list of modified files, we first
expand any user-provided pathspecs with "ls-files", and then
feed the resulting list of paths as arguments to
"diff-index" and "diff-files". If your pathspec expands into
a large number of paths, you may run into one of two
problems:
1. The OS may complain about the size of the argument
list, and refuse to run. For example:
$ (ulimit -s 128 && git add -p drivers)
Can't exec "git": Argument list too long at .../git-add--interactive line 177.
Died at .../git-add--interactive line 177.
That's on the linux.git repository, which has about 20K
files in the "drivers" directory (none of them modified
in this case). The "ulimit -s" trick is necessary to
show the problem on Linux even for such a gigantic set
of paths. Other operating systems have much smaller
limits (e.g., a real-world case was seen with only 5K
files on OS X).
2. Even when it does work, it's really slow. The pathspec
code is not optimized for huge numbers of paths. Here's
the same case without the ulimit:
$ time git add -p drivers
No changes.
real 0m16.559s
user 0m53.140s
sys 0m0.220s
We can improve this by skipping "ls-files" completely, and
just feeding the original pathspecs to the diff commands.
This solution was discussed in 2010:
http://public-inbox.org/git/20100105041438.GB12574@coredump.intra.peff.net/
but at the time the diff code's pathspecs were more
primitive than those used by ls-files (e.g., they did not
support globs). Making the change would have caused a
user-visible regression, so we didn't.
Since then, the pathspec code has been unified, and the diff
commands natively understand pathspecs like '*.c'.
This patch implements that solution. That skips the
argument-list limits, and the result runs much faster:
$ time git add -p drivers
No changes.
real 0m0.149s
user 0m0.116s
sys 0m0.080s
There are two new tests. The first just exercises the
globbing behavior to confirm that we are not causing a
regression there. The second checks the actual argument
behavior using GIT_TRACE. We _could_ do it with the "ulimit
-s" trick, as above. But that would mean the test could only
run where "ulimit -s" works. And tests of that sort are
expensive, because we have to come up with enough files to
actually bust the limit (we can't just shrink the "128" down
infinitely, since it is also the in-program stack size).
Finally, two caveats and possibilities for future work:
a. This fixes one argument-list expansion, but there may
be others. In fact, it's very likely that if you run
"git add -i" and select a large number of modified
files that the script would try to feed them all to a
single git command.
In practice this is probably fine. The real issue here
is that the argument list was growing with the _total_
number of files, not the number of modified or selected
files.
b. If the repository contains filenames with literal wildcard
characters (e.g., "foo*"), the original code expanded
them via "ls-files" and then fed those wildcard names
to "diff-index", which would have treated them as
wildcards. This was a bug, which is now fixed (though
unless you really go through some contortions with
":(literal)", it's likely that your original pathspec
would match whatever the accidentally-expanded wildcard
would anyway).
So this takes us one step closer to working correctly
with files whose names contain wildcard characters, but
it's likely that others remain (e.g., if "git add -i"
feeds the selected paths to "git add").

In our own .gitattributes file we have attributes such as:
*.[ch] whitespace=indent,trail,space
When querying for attributes we want to be able to ask for the exact
value, i.e.
git ls-files :(attr:whitespace=indent,trail,space)
should work, but the commas are used in the attr magic to introduce
the next attr, such that this query currently fails with
fatal: Invalid pathspec magic 'trail' in ':(attr:whitespace=indent,trail,space)'
This change allows escaping characters by a backslash, such that the query
git ls-files :(attr:whitespace=indent\,trail\,space)
will match all path that have the value "indent,trail,space" for the
whitespace attribute. To accomplish this, we need to modify two places.
First `parse_long_magic` needs to not stop early upon seeing a comma or
closing paren that is escaped. As a second step we need to remove any
escaping from the attr value.

Sometimes a set of repositories want to share configuration settings
among themselves that are distinct from other such sets of repositories.
A user may work on two projects, each of which have multiple
repositories, and use one user.email for one project while using another
for the other.
Setting $GIT_DIR/.config works, but if the penalty of forgetting to
update $GIT_DIR/.config is high (especially when you end up cloning
often), it may not be the best way to go. Having the settings in
~/.gitconfig, which would work for just one set of repositories, would
not well in such a situation. Having separate ${HOME}s may add more
problems than it solves.
Extend the include.path mechanism that lets a config file include
another config file, so that the inclusion can be done only when some
conditions hold. Then ~/.gitconfig can say "include config-project-A
only when working on project-A" for each project A the user works on.
In this patch, the only supported grouping is based on $GIT_DIR (in
absolute path), so you would need to group repositories by directory, or
something like that to take advantage of it.
We already have include.path for unconditional includes. This patch goes
with includeIf.<condition>.path to make it clearer that a condition is
required. The new config has the same backward compatibility approach as
include.path: older git versions that don't understand includeIf will
simply ignore them.

In 4ac9006f83 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and
strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path())
pattern to use real_pathdup() directly.
The problem with this change is that real_path() calls
strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls
it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path()
causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent
and returns NULL instead.
The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect
the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died
with an appropriate error message).
Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the
die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(),
and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would
handle NULLs well.

The idea of the test case "git -p - core.pager is not used from

not been called just to obtain the core.pager setting.
However, we are about to fix the early config machinery so that it
*does* work, without messing up the global state.
Once that is done, the core.pager setting *will* be used, even when
running from a subdirectory, and that is a Good Thing.
The intention of that test case, however, was to verify that the
setup_git_directory() function has not run, because it changes global
state such as the current working directory.
To keep that spirit, but fix the incorrect assumption, this patch
replaces that test case by a new one that verifies that the pager is
run in the subdirectory, i.e. that the current working directory has
not been changed at the time the pager is configured and launched, even
if the `rev-parse` command requires a .git/ directory and *will* change

The existing implementation of range_set_union does not correctly
reallocate memory, leading to a heap overflow when it attempts to union
more than 24 separate line ranges.
For struct range_set *out to grow correctly it must have out->nr set to
the current size of the buffer when it is passed to range_set_grow.
However, the existing implementation of range_set_union only updates
out->nr at the end of the function, meaning that it is always zero
before this. This results in range_set_grow never growing the buffer, as
well as some of the union logic itself being incorrect as !out->nr is
always true.
The reason why 24 is the limit is that the first allocation of size 1
ends up allocating a buffer of size 24 (due to the call to alloc_nr in
ALLOC_GROW). This goes some way to explain why this hasn't been
caught before.
Fix the problem by correctly updating out->nr after reallocating the
range_set. As this results in out->nr containing the same value as the
variable o, replace o with out->nr as well.
Finally, add a new test to help prevent the problem reoccurring in the
future. Thanks to Vegard Nossum for writing the test.

It's tempting to say:

to see how we've sped up Git over the years. Unfortunately,
this doesn't quite work because versions of Git prior to
v1.7.0 lack bin-wrappers, so our "run" script doesn't
correctly put them in the PATH.
Worse, it means we silently find whatever other "git" is in
the PATH, and produce test results that have no bearing on
what we asked for.
Let's fallback to the main git directory when bin-wrappers
isn't present. Many modern perf scripts won't run with such

Since 1a0962dee (t/perf: fix regression in testing older
versions of git, 2016-06-22), we point "$MODERN_GIT" to a
copy of git that matches the t/perf script itself, and which
can be used for tasks outside of the actual timings. This is
needed because the setup done by perf scripts keeps moving
forward in time, and may use features that the older
versions of git we are testing do not have.
That commit used $MODERN_GIT to fix a case where we relied
on the relatively recent --git-path option. But if you go
back further still, there are more problems.
Since 7501b5921 (perf: make the tests work in worktrees,
2016-05-13), we use "git -C", but versions of git older than
44e1e4d67 (git: run in a directory given with -C option,
2013-09-09) don't know about "-C". So testing an old version
of git with a new version of t/perf will fail the setup
step.
We can fix this by using $MODERN_GIT during the setup;
there's no need to use the antique version, since it doesn't
affect the timings. Likewise, we'll adjust the "init"
invocation; antique versions of git called this "init-db".

"git fetch" currently doesn't bother to check that it got all refs it
sought, because the common case of requesting a nonexistent ref triggers
a die() in get_fetch_map. However, there's at least one case that
slipped through: "git fetch REMOTE SHA1" if the server doesn't allow
requests for unadvertised objects. Make fetch_refs_via_pack (which is
on the "git fetch" code path) call report_unmatched_refs so that we at
least get an error message in that case.

When we parse "git checkout $NAME", we try to interpret
$NAME as a local branch-name. If it is, then we point HEAD
to that branch. Otherwise, we detach the HEAD at whatever
commit $NAME points to.
We do the interpretation by calling strbuf_branchname(), and
then blindly sticking "refs/heads/" on the front. This leads
to nonsense results when expansions like "@{upstream}" or
"@" point to something besides a local branch. We end up
with a local branch name like "refs/heads/origin/master" or
"refs/heads/HEAD".
Normally this has no user-visible effect because those
branches don't exist, and so we fallback to feeding the
result to get_sha1(), which resolves them correctly.
But as the new test in t3204 shows, there are corner cases
where the effect is observable, and we check out the wrong
local branch rather than detaching to the correct one.

This function asks strbuf_branchname() to expand any @-marks
in the branchname, and then we blindly stick refs/heads/ in
front of the result. This is obviously nonsense if the
expansion is "HEAD" or a ref in refs/remotes/.
The most obvious end-user effect is that creating or
renaming a branch with an expansion may have confusing
results (e.g., creating refs/heads/origin/master from
"@{upstream}" when the operation should be disallowed).
We can fix this by telling strbuf_branchname() that we are
only interested in local expansions. Any unexpanded bits are
then fed to check_ref_format(), which either disallows them
(in the case of "@{upstream}") or lets them through
("refs/heads/@" is technically valid, if a bit silly).

We use strbuf_branchname() to expand the branch name from
the command line, so you can delete the branch given by
@{-1}, for example. However, we allow other nonsense like
"@", and we do not respect our "-r" flag (so we may end up
deleting an oddly-named local ref instead of a remote one).
We can fix this by passing the appropriate "allowed" flag to
strbuf_branchname().

git-branch feeds the branch names from the command line to

which kinds of expansions should be allowed. Let's create a
set of tests that cover both the allowed and disallowed
cases.
That shows off some breakages where we currently create or
delete the wrong ref (and will make sure that we do not
break any cases that _should_ be working when we do add more
restrictions).
Note that we check branch creation and deletion, but do not
bother with renames. Those follow the same code path as
creation.

The interpret_branch_name() function takes a ptr/len pair
for the name, but you can pass "0" for "namelen", which will
cause it to check the length with strlen().
However, before we do that auto-namelen magic, we call
interpret_nth_prior_checkout(), which gets fed the bogus
"0". This was broken by 8cd4249c4 (interpret_branch_name:
always respect "namelen" parameter, 2014-01-15). Though to
be fair to that commit, it was broken in the _opposite_
direction before, where we would always treat "name" as a
string even if a length was passed.
You can see the bug with "git log -g @{-1}". That code path
always passes "0", and without this patch it cannot figure
out which branch's reflog to show.
We can fix it by a small reordering of the code.

Callers of diff_populate_filespec() can choose to ask only for the
size of the blob without grabbing the blob data, and the function,
after running lstat() when the filespec points at a working tree
file, returns by copying the value in size field of the stat
structure into the size field of the filespec when this is the case.
However, this short-cut cannot be taken if the contents from the
path needs to go through convert_to_git(), whose resulting real blob
data may be different from what is in the working tree file.
As "git diff --quiet" compares the .size fields of filespec
structures to skip content comparison, this bug manifests as a
false "there are differences" for a file that needs eol conversion,
for example.

When invoked as "git add -i", each menu interactive menu
option prompts the user to select a list of files. This
includes the "patch" option, which gets the list before
starting the hunk-selection loop.
As "git add -p", it behaves differently, and jumps straight
to the hunk selection loop.
Since 0539d5e6d (i18n: add--interactive: mark patch prompt
for translation, 2016-12-14), the "add -i" case mistakenly
jumps to straight to the hunk-selection loop. Prior to that
commit the distinction between the two cases was managed by
the $patch_mode variable. That commit used $patch_mode for
something else, and moved the old meaning to the "$cmd"
variable. But it forgot to update the $patch_mode check
inside patch_update_cmd() which controls the file-list
behavior.
The simplest fix would be to change that line to check $cmd.
But while we're here, let's use a less obscure name for this
flag: $patch_mode_only, a boolean which tells whether we are
in full-interactive mode or only in patch-mode.

When writing a new split-index and there is a big number of cache
entries in the split-index compared to the shared index, it is a
good idea to regenerate the shared index.
By default when the ratio reaches 20%, we will push back all
the entries from the split-index into a new shared index file
instead of just creating a new split-index file.
The threshold can be configured using the
"splitIndex.maxPercentChange" config variable.
We need to adjust the existing tests in t1700 by setting
"splitIndex.maxPercentChange" to 100 at the beginning of t1700,
as the existing tests are assuming that the shared index is
regenerated only when `git update-index --split-index` is used.

http.c supports HTTP redirects of the form
http://foo/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
-> http://anything
-> http://bar/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
(that is to say, as long as the Git part of the path and the query
string is preserved in the final redirect destination, the intermediate
steps can have any URL). However, if one of the intermediate steps
results in an HTTP exception, a confusing "unable to update url base
from redirection" message is printed instead of a Curl error message
with the HTTP exception code.
This was introduced by 2 commits. Commit c93c92f ("http: update base
URLs when we see redirects", 2013-09-28) introduced a best-effort
optimization that required checking if only the "base" part of the URL
differed between the initial request and the final redirect destination,
but it performed the check before any HTTP status checking was done. If
something went wrong, the normal code path was still followed, so this
did not cause any confusing error messages until commit 6628eb4 ("http:
always update the base URL for redirects", 2016-12-06), which taught
http to die if the non-"base" part of the URL differed.
Therefore, teach http to check the HTTP status before attempting to
check if only the "base" part of the URL differed. This commit teaches
http_request_reauth to return early without updating options->base_url
upon an error; the only invoker of this function that passes a non-NULL
"options" is remote-curl.c (through "http_get_strbuf"), which only uses
options->base_url for an informational message in the situations that
this commit cares about (that is, when the return value is not HTTP_OK).
The included test checks that the redirect scheme at the beginning of
this commit message works, and that returning a 502 in the middle of the
redirect scheme produces the correct result. Note that this is different
from the test in commit 6628eb4 ("http: always update the base URL for
redirects", 2016-12-06) in that this commit tests that a Git-shaped URL
(http://.../info/refs?service=git-upload-pack) works, whereas commit
6628eb4 tests that a non-Git-shaped URL
(http://.../info/refs/foo?service=git-upload-pack) does not work (even
though Git is processing that URL) and is an error that is fatal, not
silently swallowed.

Adding comments after a tag in the body is a common practise (e.g. in

by removing any trailing cruft after the address.
After some recent changes, any trailing comment is now instead appended
to the recipient name (with some random white space inserted) resulting
in undesirable noise in the headers, for example:
CC: "# 3 . 3 . x : 1b9508f : sched : Rate-limit newidle" <stable@vger.kernel.org>
Revert to the earlier behaviour of discarding anything after the (first)

The parsing of one-shot assignments of configuration variables that
come from the command line historically was quite loose and allowed
anything to pass. It also downcased everything in the variable name,
even a three-level <section>.<subsection>.<variable> name in which
the <subsection> part must be treated in a case sensitive manner.
Existing git_config_parse_key() helper is used to parse the variable
name that comes from the command line, i.e. "git config VAR VAL",
and handles these details correctly. Replace the strbuf_tolower()
call in git_config_parse_parameter() with a call to it to correct
both issues. git_config_parse_key() does a bit more things that are
not necessary for the purpose of this codepath (e.g. it allocates a
separate buffer to return the canonicalized variable name because it
takes a "const char *" input), but we are not in a performance-critical

When we read user.name and user.email from a config file,
they go into strbufs. When a caller asks ident_default_name()
for the value, we fallback to auto-detecting if the strbuf
is empty.
That means that explicitly setting an empty string in the
config is identical to not setting it at all. This is

An ident name consisting of only "crud" characters (like
whitespace or punctuation) is effectively the same as an
empty one, because our strbuf_addstr_without_crud() will
remove those characters.
We reject an empty name when formatting a strict ident, but
don't notice an all-crud one because our check happens
before the crud-removal step.
We could skip past the crud before checking for an empty
name, but let's make it a separate code path, for two
reasons. One is that we can give a more specific error
message. And two is that unlike a blank name, we probably
don't want to kick in the fallback-to-username behavior.

If we see an empty name, we complain about and mention the
matching email in the error message (to give it some
context). However, the "email" pointer may be NULL here if
we were planning to fill it in later from ident_default_email().
This was broken by 59f929596 (fmt_ident: refactor strictness
checks, 2016-02-04). Prior to that commit, we would look up
the default name and email before doing any other actions.
So one solution would be to go back to that.
However, we can't just do so blindly. The logic for handling
the "!email" condition has grown since then. In particular,
looking up the default email can die if getpwuid() fails,
but there are other errors that should take precedence.
Commit 734c7789a (ident: check for useConfigOnly before
auto-detection of name/email, 2016-03-30) reordered the
checks so that we prefer the error message for
useConfigOnly.
Instead, we can observe that while the name-handling depends
on "email" being set, the reverse is not true. So we can
simply set up the email variable first.
This does mean that if both are bogus, we'll complain about
the email before the name. But between the two, there is no
reason to prefer one over the other.
