9f673f9 (gc: config option for running --auto in background -
2014-02-08) puts "gc --auto" in background to reduce user's wait
time. Part of the garbage collecting is pack-refs and pruning
reflogs. These require locking some refs and may abort other processes
trying to lock the same ref. If gc --auto is fired in the middle of a
script, gc's holding locks in the background could fail the script,
which could never happen before 9f673f9.
Keep running pack-refs and "reflog --prune" in foreground to stop
parallel ref updates. The remaining background operations (repack,
prune and rerere) should not impact running git processes.

Because of the way "--follow" is implemented, we must have
exactly one pathspec. "git log" enforces this restriction,
but other users of the revision traversal code do not. For
example, "git format-patch --follow" will segfault during
try_to_follow_renames, as we have no pathspecs at all.
We can push this check down into diff_setup_done, which is
probably a better place anyway. It is the diff code that
introduces this restriction, so other parts of the code
should not need to care themselves.

When <command> happens to be the magic string "less", today

helpfully passes +/<pattern> to less so you can navigate through

Alas, that doesn't do the right thing for a case-insensitive match,
i.e.
git grep -i -O<command> -e<pattern>
For that case we should pass --IGNORE-CASE to "less" so that n and
shift+n can move between results ignoring case in the pattern.
The original patch came from msysgit and used "-i", but that was not
due to lack of support for "-I" but it merely overlooked that it

When we pick another commit's message, we die() immediately
if we find that it's empty and we are not going to run an
editor (i.e., when running "-C" instead of "-c"). However,
this check is redundant and harmful.
It's redundant because we will already notice the empty
message later, after we would have run the editor, and die
there (just as we would for a regular, not "-C" case, where
the user provided an empty message in the editor).
It's harmful for a few reasons:
1. It does not respect --allow-empty-message. As a result,
a "git rebase -i" cannot "pick" such a commit. So you
cannot even go back in time to fix it with a "reword"
or "edit" instruction.
2. It does not take into account other ways besides the
editor to modify the message. For example, "git commit
-C empty-commit -m foo" could take the author
information from empty-commit, but add a message to it.
There's more to do to make that work correctly (and
right now we explicitly forbid "-C with -m"), but this
removes one roadblock.
3. The existing check is not enough to prevent segfaults.
We try to find the "\n\n" header/body boundary in the
commit. If it is at the end of the string (i.e., no
body), _or_ if we cannot find it at all (i.e., a
truncated commit object), we consider the message
empty. With "-C", that's OK; we die in either case. But
with "-c", we continue on, and in the case of a
truncated commit may end up dereferencing NULL+2.

Command `git blame --date relative` aligns the date field with a
fixed-width (defined by blame_date_width), and if time_str is shorter
than that, it adds spaces for padding. But there are two bugs in the
following codes:
time_len = strlen(time_str);
...
memset(time_buf + time_len, ' ', blame_date_width - time_len);
1. The type of blame_date_width is size_t, which is unsigned. If
time_len is greater than blame_date_width, the result of
"blame_date_width - time_len" will never be a negative number, but a
really big positive number, and will cause memory overwrite.
This bug can be triggered if either l10n message for function
show_date_relative() in date.c is longer than 30 characters, then
`git blame --date relative` may exit abnormally.
2. When show blame information with relative time, the UTF-8 characters
in time_str will break the alignment of columns after the date field.
This is because the time_buf padding with spaces should have a
constant display width, not a fixed strlen size. So we should call
utf8_strwidth() instead of strlen() for width calibration.

Since almost all comments for l10n translators are marked with the same
prefix (tag): "TRANSLATORS:", it's safe to only extract comments with
this special tag. I.E. it's better to call xgettext as:
xgettext --add-comments=TRANSLATORS: ...
Also tweaks the multi-line comment in "init-db.c", to make it start with

Multi-threaing of index-pack was disabled with c0f8654
(index-pack: Disable threading on cygwin - 2012-06-26), because
pread() implementations for Cygwin and MSYS were not thread
safe. Recent Cygwin does offer usable pread() and we enabled
multi-threading with 103d530f (Cygwin 1.7 has thread-safe pread,
2013-07-19).
Work around this problem on platforms with a thread-unsafe
pread() emulation by opening one file handle per thread; it
would prevent parallel pread() on different file handles from
stepping on each other.
Also remove NO_THREAD_SAFE_PREAD that was introduced in c0f8654
because it's no longer used anywhere.
This workaround is unconditional, even for platforms with
thread-safe pread() because the overhead is small (a couple file
handles more) and not worth fragmenting the code.

When we are sending a packfile to a remote, we currently try
to reuse a whole chunk of packfile without bothering to look
at the individual objects. This can make things like initial
clones much lighter on the server, as we can just dump the
packfile bytes.
However, it's possible that the other side cannot read our
packfile verbatim. For example, we may have objects stored
as OFS_DELTA, but the client is an antique version of git
that only understands REF_DELTA. We negotiate this
capability over the fetch protocol. A normal pack-objects
run will convert OFS_DELTA into REF_DELTA on the fly, but
the "reuse pack" code path never even looks at the objects.
This patch disables packfile reuse if the other side is
missing any capabilities that we might have used in the
on-disk pack. Right now the only one is OFS_DELTA, but we
may need to expand in the future (e.g., if packv4 introduces
new object types).
We could be more thorough and only disable reuse in this
case when we actually have an OFS_DELTA to send, but:
1. We almost always will have one, since we prefer
OFS_DELTA to REF_DELTA when possible. So this case
would almost never come up.
2. Looking through the objects defeats the purpose of the
optimization, which is to do as little work as possible
to get the bytes to the remote.

Heh. And this is why you want to do it exactly *once*, and then just

But yeah, especially if you allow longer delta chains, the end result can
be much smaller (and what makes the one-time repack more expensive is the
window size, not the delta chain - you could make the delta chains longer
with no cost overhead at packing time)
HOWEVER.
The longer delta chains do make it potentially much more expensive to then
use old history. So there's a trade-off. And quite frankly, a delta depth
of 250 is likely going to cause overflows in the delta cache (which is
only 256 entries in size *and* it's a hash, so it's going to start having
hash conflicts long before hitting the 250 depth limit).
So when I said "--depth=250 --window=250", I chose those numbers more as
an example of extremely aggressive packing, and I'm not at all sure that
the end result is necessarily wonderfully usable. It's going to save disk
space (and network bandwidth - the delta's will be re-used for the network
protocol too!), but there are definitely downsides too, and using long
delta chains may simply not be worth it in practice.
(And some of it might just want to have git tuning, ie if people think
that long deltas are worth it, we could easily just expand on the delta
hash, at the cost of some more memory used!)
That said, the good news is that working with *new* history will not be
affected negatively, and if you want to be _really_ sneaky, there are ways
to say "create a pack that contains the history up to a version one year
ago, and be very aggressive about those old versions that we still want to
have around, but do a separate pack for newer stuff using less aggressive
parameters"
So this is something that can be tweaked, although we don't really have
any really nice interfaces for stuff like that (ie the git delta cache
size is hardcoded in the sources and cannot be set in the config file, and
the "pack old history more aggressively" involves some manual scripting
and knowing how "git pack-objects" works rather than any nice simple
command line switch).
So the thing to take away from this is:
- git is certainly flexible as hell
- .. but to get the full power you may need to tweak things
- .. happily you really only need to have one person to do the tweaking,
and the tweaked end results will be available to others that do not
need to know/care.
And whether the difference between 320MB and 500MB is worth any really
involved tweaking (considering the potential downsides), I really don't
know. Only testing will tell.

The fuzzy_matchlines() function is used when attempting to resurrect
a patch that is whitespace-damaged, or when applying a patch that
was produced against an old codebase to the codebase after
indentation change.
The patch may want to change a line "a_bc" ("_" is used throught
this description for a whitespace to make it stand out) in the
original into something else, and we may not find "a_bc" in the
current source, but there may be "a__bc" (two spaces instead of one
the whitespace-damaged patch claims to expect). By ignoring the
amount of whitespaces, it forces "git apply" to consider that "a_bc"
in the broken patch meant to refer to "a__bc" in reality.
However, the implementation special cases a run of whitespaces at
the beginning of a line and makes "abc" match "_abc", even though a
whitespace in the middle of string never matches a 0-width gap,
e.g. "a_bc" does not match "abc". A run of whitespace at the end of
one string does not match a 0-width end of line on the other line,
either, e.g. "abc_" does not match "abc".
Fix this inconsistency by making the code skip leading whitespaces
only when both strings begin with a whitespace. This makes the
option mean the same as the option of the same name in "diff" and
"git diff".
Note that I am not sure if anybody sane should use this option in
the first place. The fuzzy match logic may be able to find the
original line that the patch author may have meant to touch because
it does not fully trust what the original lines say (i.e. context
lines prefixed by " " and old lines prefixed by "-" does not have to
exactly match the contents the patch is applied to). There is no
reason for us to trust what the replacement lines (i.e. new lines
prefixed by "+") say, either, but with this option enabled, we end
up copying these new lines with suspicious whitespace distributions
literally into the patched result. But as long as we keep it, we
should make it do its insane thing consistently.

The "--cacheinfo" option is unusual in that it takes three option
parameters. An option with an optional parameter is bad enough. An
option with multiple parameters is simply insane.
Introduce a new syntax that takes these three things concatenated
together with a comma, which makes the command line syntax more
uniform across subcommands, while retaining the traditional syntax
for backward compatiblity.
If we were designing the "update-index" subcommand from scratch
today, it may probably have made sense to make this option (and
possibly others) a command mode option that does not take any option
parameter (hence no need for arg-help). But we do not live in such
an ideal world, and as far as I can tell, the command still supports
(and must support) mixed command modes in a single invocation, e.g.
$ git update-index path1 --add path2 \
--cacheinfo 100644 $(git hash-object --stdin -w <path3) path3 \
path4
must make sure path1 is already in the index and update all of these
four paths. So this is probably as far as we can go to fix this issue
without risking to break people's existing scripts.
