d028b8906a zsh completion: find matching custom bash completion
If zsh completion is being read from a location that is different from
system-wide default, it is likely that the user is trying to use a
custom version, perhaps closer to the bleeding edge, installed in her
own directory. We will more likely to find the matching bash completion
script in the same directory than in those system default places.

feefdf62c1 shallow: remove unused code
Commit 58babfff ("shallow.c: the 8 steps to select new commits for
.git/shallow", 05-12-2013) added a function to implement step 5 of
the quoted eight steps, namely 'remove_nonexistent_ours_in_pack()'.
This function implements an optional optimization step in the new
shallow commit selection algorithm. However, this function has no
callers. (The commented out call sites would need to change, in
order to provide information required by the function.)

10a6cc8890 fetch --prune: Run prune before fetching
When we have a remote-tracking branch named "frotz/nitfol" from a
previous fetch, and the upstream now has a branch named "frotz",
fetch would fail to remove "frotz/nitfol" with a "git fetch --prune"
from the upstream. git would inform the user to use "git remote
prune" to fix the problem.

Change the way "fetch --prune" works by moving the pruning operation
before the fetching operation. This way, instead of warning the user
of a conflict, it autmatically fixes it.

ed7eda8b38 gc: notice gc processes run by other users
Since 64a99eb4 git gc refuses to run without the --force option if
another gc process on the same repository is already running.

However, if the repository is shared and user A runs git gc on the
repository and while that gc is still running user B runs git gc on
the same repository the gc process run by user A will not be noticed
and the gc run by user B will go ahead and run.

The problem is that the kill(pid, 0) test fails with an EPERM error
since user B is not allowed to signal processes owned by user A
(unless user B is root).

Update the test to recognize an EPERM error as meaning the process
exists and another gc should not be run (unless --force is given).

738a8beac4 t0000: drop "known breakage" test
Having a simulated "known breakage" test means that the test
suite will always tell us there is a bug to be fixed, even
though it is only simulated.

The right way to test this is in a sub-test, that can also
check that we provide the correct exit status and output.
Fortunately, we already have such a test (added much later
by 5ebf89e).

We could arguably get rid of the simulated success test
immediately above, as well, as it is also redundant with the
tests added in 5ebf89e. However, it does not have the
annoying behavior of the "known breakage" test. It may also
be easier to debug if the test suite is truly broken, since
it is not a test-within-a-test, as the later tests are.

a63c12c9be t0000: simplify HARNESS_ACTIVE hack
Commit 517cd55 set HARNESS_ACTIVE unconditionally in
sub-tests, because that value affects the output of
"--verbose". t0000 needs stable output from its sub-tests,
and we may or may not be running under a TAP harness.

That commit made the decision to always set the variable,
since it has another useful side effect, which is
suppressing writes to t/test-results by the sub-tests (which
would just pollute the real results).

Since the last commit, though, the sub-tests have their own
test-results directories, so this is no longer an issue. We
can now update a few comments that are no longer accurate
nor necessary.

We can also revisit the choice of HARNESS_ACTIVE. Since we
must choose one value for stability, it's probably saner to
have it off. This means that future patches could test
things like the test-results writing, or the "--quiet"
option, which is currently ignored when run under a harness.

6883047071 t0000: set TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY for sub-tests
Running t0000 produces more trash directories than expected and does
not clean up after itself:

    $ ./t0000-basic.sh
    [...]
    $ ls -d trash\ directory.*
    trash directory.failing-cleanup
    trash directory.mixed-results1
    trash directory.mixed-results2
    trash directory.partial-pass
    trash directory.test-verbose
    trash directory.test-verbose-only-2

These scratch areas for sub-tests should be under the t0000 trash
directory, but because TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY defaults to
TEST_DIRECTORY, which is exported to help sub-tests find
test-lib.sh, the sub-test trash directories are created under the
toplevel t/ directory instead.  Because some of the sub-tests
simulate failures, their trash directories are kept around.

Fix it by explicitly setting TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY appropriately for
sub-tests.

An alternative fix would be to pass the --root parameter that only
specifies where to put the trash directories, which would also work.
However, using TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is more futureproof in case
tests want to write more output in addition to the test-results/
(which are already suppressed in sub-tests using the HARNESS_ACTIVE
setting) and trash directories.

This fixes a regression introduced by 38b074d (t/test-lib.sh: fix
TRASH_DIRECTORY handling, 2013-04-14).  Before that commit, the
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY setting was not respected consistently so most
tests did their work in a "trash" subdirectory of the current
directory instead of the output dir.

afbf5ca507 use distinct username/password for http auth tests
The httpd server we set up to test git's http client code
knows about a single account, in which both the username and
password are "user@host" (the unusual use of the "@" here is
to verify that we handle the character correctly when URL
escaped).

This means that we may miss a certain class of errors in
which the username and password are mixed up internally by
git. We can make our tests more robust by having distinct
values for the username and password.

In addition to tweaking the server passwd file and the
client URL, we must teach the "askpass" harness to accept
multiple values. As a bonus, this makes the setup of some
tests more obvious; when we are expecting git to ask
only about the password, we can seed the username askpass
response with a bogus value.

e1c1a324fc Revert "prompt: clean up strbuf usage"
This reverts commit 31b49d9b65.

That commit taught do_askpass to hand ownership of our
buffer back to the caller rather than simply return a
pointer into our internal strbuf.  What it failed to notice,
though, was that our internal strbuf is static, because we
are trying to emulate the getpass() interface.

By handing off ownership, we created a memory leak that
cannot be solved. Sometimes git_prompt returns a static
buffer from getpass() (or our smarter git_terminal_prompt
wrapper), and sometimes it returns an allocated string from
do_askpass.

e228c1736f Remove the line length limit for graft files
Support for grafts predates Git's strbuf, and hence it is understandable
that there was a hard-coded line length limit of 1023 characters (which
was chosen a bit awkwardly, given that it is *exactly* one byte short of
aligning with the 41 bytes occupied by a commit name and the following
space or new-line character).

While regular commit histories hardly win comprehensibility in general
if they merge more than twenty-two branches in one go, it is not Git's
business to limit grafts in such a way.

In this particular developer's case, the use case that requires
substantially longer graft lines to be supported is the visualization of
the commits' order implied by their changes: commits are considered to
have an implicit relationship iff exchanging them in an interactive
rebase would result in merge conflicts.

Thusly implied branches tend to be very shallow in general, and the
resulting thicket of implied branches is usually very wide; It is
actually quite common that *most* of the commits in a topic branch have
not even one implied parent, so that a final merge commit has about as
many implied parents as there are commits in said branch.

2394e94e83 git-svn: workaround for a bug in svn serf backend
Subversion serf backend in versions 1.8.5 and below has a bug(*) that the
function creating the descriptor of a file change -- add_file() --
doesn't make a copy of its third argument when storing it on the
returned descriptor.  As a result, by the time this field is used (in
transactions of file copying or renaming) it may well be released, and
the memory reused.

One of its possible manifestations is the svn assertion triggering on an
invalid path, with a message

svn_fspath__skip_ancestor: Assertion
`svn_fspath__is_canonical(child_fspath)' failed.

This patch works around this bug, by storing the value to be passed as
the third argument to add_file() in a local variable with the same scope
as the file change descriptor, making sure their lifetime is the same.

65ea9c3c3d cat-file: provide %(deltabase) batch format
It can be useful for debugging or analysis to see which
objects are stored as delta bases on top of others. This
information is available by running `git verify-pack`, but
that is extremely expensive (and is harder than necessary to
parse).

Instead, let's make it available as a cat-file query format,
which makes it fast and simple to get the bases for a subset
of the objects.

5d642e7506 sha1_object_info_extended: provide delta base sha1s
A caller of sha1_object_info_extended technically has enough
information to determine the base sha1 from the results of
the call. It knows the pack, offset, and delta type of the
object, which is sufficient to find the base.

However, the functions to do so are not publicly available,
and the code itself is intimate enough with the pack details
that it should be abstracted away. We could add a public
helper to allow callers to query the delta base separately,
but it is simpler and slightly more efficient to optionally
grab it along with the rest of the object_info data.

For cases where the object is not stored as a delta, we
write the null sha1 into the query field. A careful caller
could check "oi.whence == OI_PACKED && oi.u.packed.is_delta"
before looking at the base sha1, but using the null sha1
provides a simple alternative (and gives a better sanity
check for a non-careful caller than simply returning random
bytes).

we just end up calling die() during the flush.

Let's just drop the return value altogether, as it only
confuses callers into thinking that it might be useful.

Only one call site actually checked the return value. We can
drop that check, since it just led to a die() anyway.

6d8940b562 diff: add diff.orderfile configuration variable
diff.orderfile acts as a default for the -O command line option.

[sb: split up aw's original patch; rework tests and docs, treat option

a21bae33d9 diff: let "git diff -O" read orderfile from any file and fail properly
The -O flag really shouldn't silently fail to do anything when given
a path that it can't read from.

However, it should be able to read from un-mmappable files, such as:

 * pipes/fifos

 * /dev/null:  It's a character device (at least on Linux)

 * ANY empty file:

   Quoting Linux mmap(2), "SUSv3 specifies that mmap() should fail if
   length is 0.  However, in kernels before 2.6.12, mmap() succeeded in
   this case: no mapping was created and the call returned addr.  Since
   kernel 2.6.12, mmap() fails with the error EINVAL for this case."

We especially want "-O/dev/null" to work, since we will be documenting
it as the way to cancel "diff.orderfile" when we add that.

(Note: "-O/dev/null" did have the right effect, since the existing error
handling essentially worked out to "silently ignore the orderfile".  But
this was probably more coincidence than anything else.)

So, lets toss all of that logic to get the file mmapped and just use
strbuf_read_file() instead, which gives us decent error handling
practically for free.

4454e9cb59 builtin/prune.c: use strbuf to avoid having to worry about PATH_MAX
While at it, rename prune_tmp_object(), which used to be a helper to
remove temporary files that were created to become loose object
files, to prune_tmp_file(), as the function is also used to remove
any random cruft whose name begins with tmp_ directly in .git/object
or .git/object/pack directories these days.

491a8dec44 get_max_fd_limit(): fall back to OPEN_MAX upon getrlimit/sysconf failure
On broken systems where RLIMIT_NOFILE is visible by the compliers
but underlying getrlimit() system call does not behave, we used to
simply die() when we are trying to decide how many file descriptors
to allocate for keeping packfiles open.  Instead, allow the fallback
codepath to take over when we get such a failure from getrlimit().

The same issue exists with _SC_OPEN_MAX and sysconf(); restructure
the code in a similar way to prepare for a broken sysconf() as well.

615b8f1a8d docs: add filter-branch notes on The BFG
The BFG is a tool specifically designed for the task of removing
unwanted data from Git repository history - a common use-case for which
git-filter-branch has been the traditional workhorse.

It's beneficial to let users know that filter-branch has an alternative
here:

* speed : The BFG is 10-50x faster
  http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/#speed
* complexity of configuration : filter-branch is a very flexible tool,
  but demands very careful usage in order to get the desired results
  http://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/#examples

Obviously, filter-branch has it's advantages too - it permits very
complex rewrites, and doesn't require a JVM - but for the common
use-case of deleting unwanted data, it's helpful to users to be aware
that an alternative exists.

The BFG was released under the GPL in February 2013, and has since seen
widespread production use (The Guardian, RedHat, Google, UK Government
Digital Service), been tested against large repos (~300K commits, ~5GB
packfiles) and received significant positive feedback from users:
