968b1fe263 auto-correct: tweak phrasing
When help.autoCorrect is enabled, an invalid git command prints a
warning and a continuation message, which differs depending on
whether or not the value of help.autoCorrect is positive or
negative.

With help.autoCorrect = 15:

   WARNING: You called a Git command named 'lgo', which does not exist.
   Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'log'
   in 1.5 seconds automatically...

With help.autoCorrect < 0:

   WARNING: You called a Git command named 'lgo', which does not exist.
   Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'log'

The continuation message's phrasing is awkward.  This commit cleans it up.
As a bonus, we now use full-sentence strings which make translation easier.

With help.autoCorrect = 15:

   WARNING: You called a Git command named 'lgo', which does not exist.
   Continuing in 1.5 seconds, assuming that you meant 'log'.

With help.autoCorrect < 0:

659fef199f help: use early config when autocorrecting aliases
Git has this feature which suggests similar commands (including aliases)
in case the user specified an unknown command.

This feature currently relies on a side effect of the way we expand
aliases right now: when a command is not a builtin, we use the regular
config machinery (meaning: discovering the .git/ directory and
initializing global state such as the config cache) to see whether the
command refers to an alias.

However, we will change the way aliases are expanded in the next
commits, to use the early config instead. That means that the
autocorrect feature can no longer discover the available aliases by
looking at the config cache (because it has not yet been initialized).

So let's just use the early config machinery instead.

This is slightly less performant than the previous way, as the early
config is used *twice*: once to see whether the command refers to an
alias, and then to see what aliases are most similar. However, this is
hardly a performance-critical code path, so performance is less important
here.

b48cbfc5e6 version: convert to parse-options
The "git version" command didn't traditionally accept any
options, and in fact ignores any you give it. When we added
simple option parsing for "--build-options" in 6b9c38e14, we
didn't improve this; we just loop over the arguments and
pick out the one we recognize.

Instead, let's move to a real parsing loop, complain about
nonsense options, and recognize conventions like "-h".

6c48686263 usability: don't ask questions if no reply is required
There has been a bug report by a corporate user that stated that
"spelling mistake of stash followed by a yes prints character 'y'
infinite times."

This analysis was false. When the spelling of a command contains
errors, the git program tries to help the user by providing candidates
which are close to the unexisting command. E.g Git prints the
following:

        git: 'stahs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
        Did you mean this?

        stash

and then exits.

The problem with this hint is that it is not formally indicated as an
hint and the user is in fact encouraged to reply to the question,
whereas the Git command is already finished.

The user was unlucky enough that it was the command he was looking
for, and replied "yes" on the command line, effectively launching the
`yes` program.

The initial error is that the Git programs, when launched in
command-line mode (without interaction) must not ask questions,
because these questions would normally require a user input as a reply
that they won't handle indeed. That's a source of confusion on UX
level.

To improve the general usability of the Git suite, the following rule
was applied:

if the sentence
 * appears in a non-interactive session
 * is printed last before exit
 * is a question addressing the user ("you")

the sentence is turned into affirmative and proposes the option.

The basic rewording of the question sentences has been extended to
other spots found in the source.

c755015f79 help: improve is_executable() on Windows
On Windows, executables need to have the file extension `.exe`, or they
are not executables. Hence, to support scripts, Git for Windows also
looks for a she-bang line by opening the file in question, and executing
it via the specified script interpreter.

To figure out whether files in the `PATH` are executable, `git help` has
code that imitates this behavior. With one exception: it *always* opens
the files and looks for a she-bang line *or* an `MZ` tell-tale
(nevermind that files with the magic `MZ` but without file extension
`.exe` would still not be executable).

Opening this many files leads to performance problems that are even more
serious when a virus scanner is running. Therefore, let's change the
code to look for the file extension `.exe` early, and avoid opening the
file altogether if we already know that it is executable.

See the following measurements (in seconds) as an example, where we
execute a simple program that simply lists the directory contents and
calls open() on every listed file:

With virus scanner running (coldcache):

$ ./a.exe /libexec/git-core/

6b9c38e14c t0006: skip "far in the future" test when unsigned long is not long enough
Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned longs.  On 32-bit
platforms, as well as on Windows, unsigned long is not large enough
to capture dates that are "absurdly far in the future".

While we can fix this issue properly by replacing unsigned long with
a larger type, we want to be a bit more conservative and just skip
those tests on the maint track.

2b2a5be394 each_ref_fn: change to take an object_id parameter
Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid"
parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1".

To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap
old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called
"each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new
interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be
wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be
used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter().

This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple,
mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref"
family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be
rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

26936bfd9b use strip_suffix instead of ends_with in simple cases
When stripping a suffix like:

  if (ends_with(str, "foo"))
	buf = xmemdupz(str, strlen(str) - 3);

we can instead use strip_suffix to avoid the constant 3,
which must match the literal "foo" (we sometimes use
strlen("foo") instead, but that means we are repeating
ourselves). The example above becomes:

  if (strip_suffix(str, "foo", &len))
	buf = xmemdupz(str, len);

This also saves a strlen(), since we calculate the string
length when detecting the suffix.

Note that in some cases we also switch from xstrndup to
xmemdupz, which saves a further strlen call.

2975c770ca replace has_extension with ends_with
These two are almost the same function, with the exception
that has_extension only matches if there is content before
the suffix. So ends_with(".exe", ".exe") is true, but
has_extension would not be.

This distinction does not matter to any of the callers,
though, and we can just replace uses of has_extension with
ends_with. We prefer the "ends_with" name because it is more
generic, and there is nothing about the function that
requires it to be used for file extensions.

with strlen, like:

This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the

ae021d8791 use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbers
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with a magic number, like:

  if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
	  foo += 3;

This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the
prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the
string changes.  We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic
numbers here.

Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter.
For example:

  if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) {
	  bar = arg + 6;
	  continue;
  }

could become:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar))
	  continue;

However, I have left it as:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
	  bar = v;
	  continue;
  }

to visually match nearby cases which need to actually
process the string. Like:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
	  bar = atoi(v);
	  continue;
  }

d10cb3dfab help.c: rename function "pretty_print_string_list"
The part "string_list" of the name of function
"pretty_print_string_list" is just an implementation
detail. The function pretty-prints command names so
rename it to "pretty_print_cmdnames".

5955654823 replace {pre,suf}fixcmp() with {starts,ends}_with()
Leaving only the function definitions and declarations so that any
new topic in flight can still make use of the old functions, replace
existing uses of the prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() with new API
functions.

The change can be recreated by mechanically applying this:

    $ git grep -l -e prefixcmp -e suffixcmp -- \*.c |
      grep -v strbuf\\.c |
      xargs perl -pi -e '
        s|!prefixcmp\(|starts_with\(|g;
        s|prefixcmp\(|!starts_with\(|g;
        s|!suffixcmp\(|ends_with\(|g;
        s|suffixcmp\(|!ends_with\(|g;
      '

on the result of preparatory changes in this series.

f66450ae94 cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation
Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008)
added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order
to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this
implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions.
Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the
first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables.

Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the
source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8,
79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0.

In order to avoid further problems, such as the issue raised by the new
reference handling API, remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation.

e56181060e help: add help_unknown_ref()
When the user gives an unknown string to a command that expects to
get a ref, we could be more helpful than just saying "that's not a
ref" and die.

Add helper function help_unknown_ref() to take care of displaying an
error message along with a list of suggested refs the user might
have meant.  An interaction with "git merge" might go like this:

	$ git merge foo
	merge: foo - not something we can merge

	Did you mean one of these?
	    origin/foo
	    upstream/foo

380395d094 mingw: rename WIN32 cpp macro to GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE
Throughout git, it is assumed that the WIN32 preprocessor symbol is
defined on native Windows setups (mingw and msvc) and not on Cygwin.
On Cygwin, most of the time git can pretend this is just another Unix
machine, and Windows-specific magic is generally counterproductive.

Unfortunately Cygwin *does* define the WIN32 symbol in some headers.
Best to rely on a new git-specific symbol GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE instead,
defined as follows:

	#if defined(WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)
	# define GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE
	#endif

After this change, it should be possible to drop the
CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API setting without any negative effect.

We observe that the j-1 element can serve the same purpose as the i-1
element that we use in the strcmp(); it is either:

  1. Exactly i-1, when the loop begins (and until we see a duplicate).

  2. The same pointer that was stored at i-1 (if it was not a duplicate,
     and we just copied it into place).

  3. A pointer to an equivalent string (i.e., we rejected i-1 _because_
     it was identical to j-1).

c41494f8c8 Reduce cost of deletion in levenstein distance (4 -> 3)
Before this patch, a character deletion has the same cost as 2 swaps, or
4 additions, so Git prefers suggesting a completely scrambled command
name to removing a character. For example, "git tags" suggests "stage",
but not "tag".

By setting the deletion cost to 3, we keep it higher than swaps or
additions, but prefer 1 deletion to 2 swaps. "git tags" now suggests
"tag" in addition to staged.

4470ef9497 help: replace underlining "help -a" headers using hyphens with a blank line
We used to underline a header text, like this:

    This is a header
    ----------------
    content...

But calculating text length so that the dashes align with the text
could get complicated because the text could be in any charset in
translated Git.

There is no point to use this pseudo underline; simply a blank
line would do and it even makes it easier to read:

    This is a header

    content...

While at it, give translators more context to translate, e.g.
e.g.  "git commands available..." instead of "%s available..."

ad6c3739a3 pager: find out the terminal width before spawning the pager
term_columns() checks for terminal width via ioctl(2) on the standard
output, but we spawn the pager too early for this check to be useful.

The effect of this buglet can be observed by opening a wide terminal and
running "git -p help --all", which still shows 80-column output, while
"git help --all" uses the full terminal width. Run the check before we
spawn the pager to fix this.

While at it, move term_columns() to pager.c and export it from cache.h so
that callers other than the help subsystem can use it.
