4f4d0b42ba Merge branch 'js/empty-config-section-fix'
"git config --unset a.b", when "a.b" is the last variable in an
otherwise empty section "a", left an empty section "a" behind, and
worse yet, a subsequent "git config a.c value" did not reuse that
empty shell and instead created a new one.  These have been
(partially) corrected.

4d5b4c2475 Avoid multiple PREFIX definitions
The short and sweet PREFIX can be confused when used in many places.

Rename both usages to better describe their purpose. EXEC_CMD_PREFIX is
used in full to disambiguate it from the nearby GIT_EXEC_PATH.

The PREFIX in sideband.c, while nominally independant of the exec_cmd
PREFIX, does reside within libgit[1], so the definitions would clash
when taken together with a PREFIX given on the command line for use by
exec_cmd.c.

Noticed when compiling Git for Windows using MSVC/Visual Studio [1] which
reports the conflict beteeen the command line definition and the
definition in sideband.c within the libgit project.

[1] the libgit functions are brought into a single sub-project
within the Visual Studio construction script provided in contrib,
and hence uses a single command for both exec_cmd.c and sideband.c.

cc5e1bf992 gettext: avoid initialization if the locale dir is not present
The runtime of a simple `git.exe version` call on Windows is currently
dominated by the gettext setup, adding a whopping ~150ms to the ~210ms
total.

Given that this cost is added to each and every git.exe invocation goes
through common-main's invocation of git_setup_gettext(), and given that
scripts have to call git.exe dozens, if not hundreds, of times, this is
a substantial performance penalty.

This is particularly pointless when considering that Git for Windows
ships without localization (to keep the installer's size to a bearable
~34MB): all that time setting up gettext is for naught.

To be clear, Git for Windows *needs* to be compiled with localization,
for the following reasons:

- to allow users to copy add-on localization in case they want it, and

- to fix the nasty error message

	BUG: your vsnprintf is broken (returned -1)

  by using libgettext's override of vsnprintf() that does not share the
  behavior of msvcrt.dll's version of vsnprintf().

So let's be smart about it and skip setting up gettext if the locale
directory is not even present.

Since localization might be missing for not-yet-supported locales, this
will not break anything.

64f982b8a7 Makefile: quote $INSTLIBDIR when passing it to sed
f6a0ad4b (Makefile: generate Perl header from template file,
2018-04-10) moved code for generating the 'use lib' lines at the top
of perl scripts from the $(SCRIPT_PERL_GEN) rule to a separate
GIT-PERL-HEADER rule.

This rule first populates INSTLIBDIR and then substitutes it into the
GIT-PERL-HEADER using sed:

	INSTLIBDIR=... something ...
	sed -e 's=@@INSTLIBDIR@@='$$INSTLIBDIR'=g' $< > $@

Because $INSTLIBDIR is not surrounded by double quotes, the shell
splits it at each space, causing errors if INSTLIBDIR contains an $IFS
character:

 sed: 1: "s=@@INSTLIBDIR@@=/usr/l ...": unescaped newline inside substitute pattern

Add back the missing double-quotes to make it work again.

0b6b342954 walker: drop fields of struct walker which are always 1
After the previous commit, both users of `struct walker` set `get_tree`,
`get_history` and `get_all` to 1. Drop those fields and simplify the
walker implementation accordingly.

Let's hope that any out-of-tree users will not mind this change. They
should notice that the compilation fails as they try to set these
fields. (If they do not set them, note that `get_http_walker()` leaves
them undefined, so the behavior will have been undefined all the time.)

2e85a0c8ab http-fetch: make -a standard behaviour
This is a follow-up to a6c786fce8 (Mark http-fetch without -a as
deprecated, 2011-08-23). For more than six years, we have been warning
when `-a` is not provided, and the documentation has been saying that
`-a` will become the default.

It is a bit unclear what "default" means here. There is no such thing as
`http-fetch --no-a`. But according to my searches, no-one has been
asking on the mailing list how they should silence the warning and
prepare for overriding the flipped default. So let's assume that
everybody is happy with `-a`. They should be, since not using it may
break the repo in such a way that Git itself is unable to fix it.

Always behave as if `-a` was given. Since `-a` implies `-c` (get commit
objects) and `-t` (get trees), all three options are now unnecessary.
Document all of these as historical artefacts that have no effect.

Leave no-op code for handling these options in http-fetch.c. The
options-handling is currently rather loose. If someone tightens it, we
will not want these ignored options to accidentally turn into hard
errors.

Since `-a` was the only safe and sane usage and we have been pushing
people towards it for a long time, refrain from warning when it is used
"unnecessarily" now. Similarly, do not add anything scary-looking to the
man-page about how it will be removed in the future. We can always do so
later. (It is not like we are in desperate need of freeing up
one-letter arguments.)

960786e761 push: colorize errors
This is an attempt to resolve an issue I experience with people that are
new to Git -- especially colleagues in a team setting -- where they miss
that their push to a remote location failed because the failure and
success both return a block of white text.

An example is if I push something to a remote repository and then a
colleague attempts to push to the same remote repository and the push
fails because it requires them to pull first, but they don't notice
because a success and failure both return a block of white text. They
then continue about their business, thinking it has been successfully
pushed.

This patch colorizes the errors and hints (in red and yellow,
respectively) so whenever there is a failure when pushing to a remote
repository that fails, it is more noticeable.

[jes: fixed a couple bugs, added the color.{advice,push,transport}
settings, refactored to use want_color_stderr().]

295d949cfa color: introduce support for colorizing stderr
So far, we only ever asked whether stdout wants to be colorful. In the
upcoming patches, we will want to make push errors more prominent, which
are printed to stderr, though.

So let's refactor the want_color() function into a want_color_fd()
function (which expects to be called with fd == 1 or fd == 2 for stdout
and stderr, respectively), and then define the macro `want_color()` to
use the want_color_fd() function.

And then also add a macro `want_color_stderr()`, for convenience and
for documentation.

63e2a0f8e9 builtin/config: introduce color type specifier
As of this commit, the canonical way to retreive an ANSI-compatible
color escape sequence from a configuration file is with the
`--get-color` action.

This is to allow Git to "fall back" on a default value for the color
should the given section not exist in the specified configuration(s).

With the addition of `--default`, this is no longer needed since:

  $ git config --default red --type=color core.section

will be have exactly as:

  $ git config --get-color core.section red

For consistency, let's introduce `--type=color` and encourage its use
with `--default` together over `--get-color` alone.

6d2f9acc0f config.c: introduce 'git_config_color' to parse ANSI colors
In preparation for adding `--type=color` to the `git-config(1)` builtin,
let's introduce a color parsing utility, `git_config_color` in a similar
fashion to `git_config_<type>`.

eeaa24b990 builtin/config: introduce --default
For some use cases, callers of the `git-config(1)` builtin would like to
fallback to default values when the variable asked for does not exist.
In addition, users would like to use existing type specifiers to ensure
that values are parsed correctly when they do exist in the
configuration.

For example, to fetch a value without a type specifier and fallback to
`$fallback`, the following is required:

  $ git config core.foo || echo "$fallback"

This is fine for most values, but can be tricky for difficult-to-express
`$fallback`'s, like ANSI color codes.

This motivates `--get-color`, which is a one-off exception to the normal
type specifier rules wherein a user specifies both the configuration
variable and an optional fallback. Both are formatted according to their
type specifier, which eases the burden on the user to ensure that values
are correctly formatted.

This commit (and those following it in this series) aim to eventually
replace `--get-color` with a consistent alternative. By introducing
`--default`, we allow the `--get-color` action to be promoted to a
`--type=color` type specifier, retaining the "fallback" behavior via the
`--default` flag introduced in this commit.

For example, we aim to replace:

  $ git config --get-color variable [default] [...]

with:

  $ git config --default default --type=color variable [...]

Values filled by `--default` behave exactly as if they were present in
the affected configuration file; they will be parsed by type specifiers
without the knowledge that they are not themselves present in the
configuration.

Specifically, this means that the following will work:

  $ git config --int --default 1M does.not.exist
  1048576

In subsequent commits, we will offer `--type=color`, which (in
conjunction with `--default`) will be sufficient to replace
`--get-color`.

8ab5aa4bd8 parseopt: handle malformed --expire arguments more nicely
A few commands that parse --expire=<time> command line option behave
sillily when given nonsense input.  For example

    $ git prune --no-expire
    Segmentation falut
    $ git prune --expire=npw; echo $?
    129

Both come from parse_opt_expiry_date_cb().

The former is because the function is not prepared to see arg==NULL
(for "--no-expire", it is a norm; "--expire" at the end of the
command line could be made to pass NULL, if it is told that the
argument is optional, but we don't so we do not have to worry about
that case).

The latter is because it does not check the value returned from the
underlying parse_expiry_date().

This seems to be a recent regression introduced while we attempted
to avoid spewing the entire usage message when given a correct
option but with an invalid value at 3bb0923f ("parse-options: do not
show usage upon invalid option value", 2018-03-22).  Before that, we
didn't fail silently but showed a full usage help (which arguably is
not all that better).

Also catch this error early when "git gc --prune=<expiration>" is
misspelled by doing a dummy parsing before the main body of "gc"
that is time consuming even begins.  Otherwise, we'd spend time to
pack objects and then later have "git prune" first notice the error.
Aborting "gc" in the middle that way is not harmful but is ugly and
can be avoided.
