5ce9086ddf is_submodule_modified(): clear environment properly
Rather than only clearing GIT_INDEX_FILE, take the list of environment
variables to clear from local_repo_env, appending the settings for
GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE.

74ae14199d submodules: ensure clean environment when operating in a submodule
git-submodule used to take care of clearing GIT_DIR whenever it operated
on a submodule index or configuration, but forgot to unset GIT_WORK_TREE
or other repo-local variables. This would lead to failures e.g. when
GIT_WORK_TREE was set.

This only happened in very unusual contexts such as operating on the
main worktree from outside of it, but since "git-gui: set GIT_DIR and
GIT_WORK_TREE after setup" (a9fa11fe5b) such failures could also
be provoked by invoking an external tool such as "git submodule update"
from the Git Gui in a standard setup.

Solve by using the newly introduced clear_local_git_env() shell function
to ensure that all repo-local environment variables are unset.

Move the list of GIT_* environment variables that are local to a
repository into a static list in environment.c, as it is also

e6cc51046f fetch --all/--multiple: keep all the fetched branch information
Since "git fetch" learned "--all" and "--multiple" options, it has become
tempting for users to say "git pull --all".  Even though it may fetch from
remotes that do not need to be fetched from for merging with the current
branch, it is handy.

"git fetch" however clears the list of fetched branches every time it
contacts a different remote.  Unless the current branch is configured to
merge with a branch from a remote that happens to be the last in the list
of remotes that are contacted, "git pull" that fetches from multiple
remotes will not be able to find the branch it should be merging with.

Make "fetch" clear FETCH_HEAD (unless --append is given) and then append
the list of branches fetched to it (even when --append is not given).  That
way, "pull" will be able to find the data for the branch being merged in
FETCH_HEAD no matter where the remote appears in the list of remotes to be
contacted by "git fetch".

db03b55781 push: fix segfault for odd config
If you have a branch.$X.merge config option, but no branch.$X.remote, and
your configuration tries to push tracking branches, git will segfault.

The problem is that even though branch->merge_nr is 1, you don't actually
have an upstream since there is no remote.  Other callsites generally
check explicitly that branch->merge is not NULL, so let's do that here,

13e65fe631 t5521: fix and modernize
All of these tests were bogus, as they created new directory and tried to
run "git pull" without even running "git init" in there.  They were mucking
with the repository in $TEST_DIRECTORY.

While fixing it, modernize the style not to chdir around outside of
subshell.  Otherwise a failed test will take us to an unexpected directory
and we need to chdir back to the test directory in each test, which is
ugly and error prone.

e1327ed5fb add-interactive: fix bogus diff header line ordering
When we look at a patch for adding hunks interactively, we
first split it into a header and a list of hunks. Some of
the header lines, such as mode changes and deletion, however,
become their own selectable hunks. Later when we reassemble
the patch, we simply concatenate the header and the selected
hunks. This leads to patches like this:

  diff --git a/file b/file
  index d95f3ad..0000000
  --- a/file
  +++ /dev/null
  deleted file mode 100644
  @@ -1 +0,0 @@
  -content

Notice how the deletion comes _after_ the ---/+++ lines,
when it should come before.

In many cases, we can get away with this as git-apply
accepts the slightly bogus input. However, in the specific
case of a deletion line that is being applied via "apply
-R", this malformed patch triggers an assert in git-apply.
This comes up when discarding a deletion via "git checkout
-p".

Rather than try to make git-apply accept our odd input,
let's just reassemble the patch in the correct order.

1d9740cb32 git_mkstemps_mode: don't set errno to EINVAL on exit.
When reaching the end of git_mkstemps_mode, at least one call to open()
has been done, and errno has been set accordingly. Setting errno is
therefore not necessary, and actually harmfull since callers can't
distinguish e.g. permanent failure from ENOENT, which can just mean that
we need to create the containing directory.

f80c7ae8fe Use git_mkstemp_mode and xmkstemp_mode in odb_mkstemp, not chmod later.
We used to create 0600 files, and then use chmod to set the group and
other permission bits to the umask. This usually has the same effect
as a normal file creation with a umask.

But in the presence of ACLs, the group permission plays the role of
the ACL mask: the "g" bits of newly created files are chosen according
to default ACL mask of the directory, not according to the umask, and
doing a chmod() on these "g" bits affect the ACL's mask instead of
actual group permission.

In other words, creating files with 0600 and then doing a chmod to the
umask creates files which are unreadable by users allowed in the
default ACL. To create the files without breaking ACLs, we let the
umask do it's job at the file's creation time, and get rid of the
later chmod.

b862b61c03 git_mkstemp_mode, xmkstemp_mode: variants of gitmkstemps with mode argument.
gitmkstemps emulates the behavior of mkstemps, which is usually used
to create files in a shared directory like /tmp/, hence, it creates
files with permission 0600.

Add git_mkstemps_mode() that allows us to specify the desired mode, and
make git_mkstemps() a wrapper that always uses 0600 to call it. Later we
will use git_mkstemps_mode() when creating pack files.

7aba6185d5 Add a testcase for ACL with restrictive umask.
Right now, Git creates unreadable pack files on non-shared
repositories when the user has a umask of 077, even when the default
ACLs for the directory would give read/write access to a specific
user.

Loose object files are created world-readable, which doesn't break ACLs,
but isn't necessarily desirable.

8c33b4cf67 tests: Fix race condition in t7006-pager
Pagers that do not consume their input are dangerous: for example,

 $ GIT_PAGER=: git log
 $ echo $?
 141
 $

The only reason these tests were able to work before was that
'git log' would write to the pipe (and not fill it) before the
pager had time to terminate and close the pipe.

Fix it by using a program that consumes its input, namely wc (as
suggested by Johannes).

748af44c63 sha1_file: be paranoid when creating loose objects
We don't want the data being deflated and stored into loose objects
to be different from what we expect.  While the deflated data is
protected by a CRC which is good enough for safe data retrieval
operations, we still want to be doubly sure that the source data used
at object creation time is still what we expected once that data has
been deflated and its CRC32 computed.

The most plausible data corruption may occur if the source file is
modified while Git is deflating and writing it out in a loose object.
Or Git itself could have a bug causing memory corruption.  Or even bad
RAM could cause trouble.  So it is best to make sure everything is
coherent and checksum protected from beginning to end.

To do so we compute the SHA1 of the data being deflated _after_ the
deflate operation has consumed that data, and make sure it matches
with the expected SHA1.  This way we can rely on the CRC32 checked by
the inflate operation to provide a good indication that the data is still
coherent with its SHA1 hash.  One pathological case we ignore is when
the data is modified before (or during) deflate call, but changed back
before it is hashed.

There is some overhead of course. Using 'git add' on a set of large files:

Before:

	real    0m25.210s
	user    0m23.783s
	sys     0m1.408s

After:

	real    0m26.537s
	user    0m25.175s
	sys     0m1.358s

The overhead is around 5% for full data coherency guarantee.

9892bebafe sha1_file: don't malloc the whole compressed result when writing out objects
There is no real advantage to malloc the whole output buffer and
deflate the data in a single pass when writing loose objects. That is
like only 1% faster while using more memory, especially with large
files where memory usage is far more. It is best to deflate and write
the data out in small chunks reusing the same memory instead.

For example, using 'git add' on a few large files averaging 40 MB ...

Before:
21.45user 1.10system 0:22.57elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

2d3ca21677 t7006-pager: if stdout is not a terminal, make a new one
Testing pagination requires (fake or real) access to a terminal so we
can see whether the pagination automatically kicks in, which makes it
hard to get good coverage when running tests without --verbose.  There
are a number of ways to work around that:

 - Replace all isatty calls with calls to a custom xisatty wrapper
   that usually checks for a terminal but can be overridden for tests.
   This would be workable, but it would require implementing xisatty
   separately in three languages (C, shell, and perl) and making sure
   that any code that is to be tested always uses the wrapper.

 - Redirect stdout to /dev/tty.  This would be problematic because
   there might be no terminal available, and even if a terminal is
   available, it might not be appropriate to spew output to it.

 - Create a new pseudo-terminal on the fly and capture its output.

This patch implements the third approach.

The new test-terminal.perl helper uses IO::Pty from Expect.pm to create
a terminal and executes the program specified by its arguments with
that terminal as stdout.  If the IO::Pty module is missing or not
working on a system, the test script will maintain its old behavior
(skipping most of its tests unless GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose).

36c079756f cherry_pick_list: quit early if one side is empty
The --cherry-pick logic starts by counting the commits on each side,
so that it can filter away commits on the bigger one.  However, so
far it missed an opportunity for optimization: it doesn't need to do

This in particular helps the common use-case 'git rebase -i HEAD~$n':
it internally uses --cherry-pick, but since HEAD~$n is a direct

60b6e2200d tests: Add tests for automatic use of pager
Git’s automatic pagination support has some subtleties.  Add some
tests to make sure we don’t break:

 - when git will use a pager by default;
 - the effect of the --paginate and --no-pager options;
 - the effect of pagination on use of color;
 - how the choice of pager is configured.

This does not yet test:

 - use of pager by scripted commands (git svn and git am);
 - effect of the pager.* configuration variables;
 - setting of the LESS variable.

Some features involve checking whether stdout is a terminal, so many
of these tests are skipped unless output is passed through to the
terminal (i.e., unless $GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose).

The immediate purpose for these tests was to avoid making things worse
after the breakage from my jn/editor-pager series (see commit 376f39,
2009-11-20).  Thanks to Sebastian Celis <sebastian@sebastiancelis.com>

462749b728 utf8.c: speculatively assume utf-8 in strbuf_add_wrapped_text()
is_utf8() works by calling utf8_width() for each character at the
supplied location.  In strbuf_add_wrapped_text(), we do that anyway
while wrapping the lines.  So instead of checking the encoding
beforehand, optimistically assume that it's utf-8 and wrap along
until an invalid character is hit, and when that happens start over.

This pays off if the text consists only of valid utf-8 characters.
The following command was run against the Linux kernel repo with
git 1.7.0:

	$ time git log --format='%b' v2.6.32 >/dev/null

	real	0m2.679s
	user	0m2.580s
	sys	0m0.100s

	$ time git log --format='%w(60,4,8)%b' >/dev/null

	real	0m4.342s
	user	0m4.230s
	sys	0m0.110s

And with this patch series:

	$ time git log --format='%w(60,4,8)%b' >/dev/null

	real	0m3.741s
	user	0m3.630s
	sys	0m0.110s

So the cost of wrapping is reduced to 70% in this case.

e9e921981d Documentation: Fix indentation problem in git-commit(1)
Ever since the "See linkgit:git-config[1]..." paragraph was added to the
description for --untracked-files (d6293d1), the paragraphs for the
following options were indented at the same level as the "See
linkgit:git-config[1]" paragraph.  This problem showed up in the
manpages, but not in the HTML documentation.

While this does fix the alignment of the options following
--untracked-files in the manpage, the "See linkgit..." portion of the
description does not retain its previous indentation level in the
manpages, or HTML documentation.

3fc0d131c5 rm: fix bug in recursive subdirectory removal
If we remove a path in a/deep/subdirectory, we should try to
remove as many trailing components as possible (i.e.,
subdirectory, then deep, then a). However, the test for the
return value of rmdir was reversed, so we only ever deleted
at most one level.

The fix is in remove_path, so "apply" and "merge-recursive"
also are fixed.

738820a913 Documentation: describe --thin more accurately
The description for --thin was misleading and downright wrong. Correct
it with some inspiration from the description of index-pack's --fix-thin
and some background information from Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>.

cc1b8d8bc6 docs: don't talk about $GIT_DIR/refs/ everywhere
It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we
may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat
the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be
represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at
worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it
is missing some of the refs they expected to see.

This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just
"refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an
abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note:

  - most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where
    that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help
    indicate that it was a hierarchy.  I didn't do the same for longer
    paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming
    "refs/heads/").

  - in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about
    unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs).

  - In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed
    refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).

b500d5e11e fast-import: use the diff_delta() max_delta_size argument
This let diff_delta() abort early if it is going to bust the given
size limit.  Also, only objects larger than 20 bytes are considered
as objects smaller than that are most certainly going to produce
larger deltas than the original object due to the additional headers.
