Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge"
always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that
happens to be a descendant of your current commit.
Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to
make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be
possible to say:
$ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9
and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka
the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with:
fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.
because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by
fast forwarding.
We could teach users that now they have to do
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0
but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves.
When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag,
even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the
integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be
asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore,
this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted
to add.

"git diff --stat" and "git apply --stat" now learn to print the line
"%d files changed, %d insertions(+), %d deletions(-)" in singular form
whenever applicable. "0 insertions" and "0 deletions" are also omitted
unless they are both zero.
This matches how versions of "diffstat" that are not prehistoric produced
their output, and also makes this line translatable.

The only place that the issue this series addresses was observed
where we read "cat-file commit" output and put it in GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
in order to replay a commit with an ancient timestamp.
With the previous patch alone, "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'"
can be misinterpreted to mean an ancient timestamp, not September in
year 2010. Guard this codepath by requring an extra '@' in front of
the raw git timestamp on the parsing side. This of course needs to
be compensated by updating get_author_ident_from_commit and the code
for "git commit --amend" to prepend '@' to the string read from the
existing commit in the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE environment variable.

The date-time parser parses out a human-readble datestring piece by
piece, so that it could even parse a string in a rather strange
notation like 'noon november 11, 2005', but restricts itself from
parsing strings in "<seconds since epoch> <timezone>" format only
for reasonably new timestamps (like 1974 or newer) with 10 or more
digits. This is to prevent a string like "20100917" from getting
interpreted as seconds since epoch (we want to treat it as September
17, 2010 instead) while doing so.
The same codepath is used to read back the timestamp that we have
already recorded in the headers of commit and tag objects; because
of this, such a commit with timestamp "0 +0000" cannot be rebased or
amended very easily.
Teach parse_date() codepath to special case a string of the form
"<digits> +<4-digits>" to work this issue around, but require that
there is no other cruft around the string when parsing a timestamp
of this format for safety.
Note that this has a slight backward incompatibility implications.
If somebody writes "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'" and wants it
to mean a timestamp in September 2010 in Japan, this change will
break such a use case.

Many of the scripts in the test suite write small helper
shell scripts to disk. It's best if these shell scripts
start with "#!$SHELL_PATH" rather than "#!/bin/sh", because
/bin/sh on some platforms is too buggy to be used.
However, it can be cumbersome to expand $SHELL_PATH, because
the usual recipe for writing a script is:
cat >foo.sh <<-\EOF
#!/bin/sh
echo my arguments are "$@"
EOF
To expand $SHELL_PATH, you have to either interpolate the
here-doc (which would require quoting "\$@"), or split the
creation into two commands (interpolating the $SHELL_PATH
line, but not the rest of the script). Let's provide a
helper function that makes that less syntactically painful.
While we're at it, this helper can also take care of the
"chmod +x" that typically comes after the creation of such a
script, saving the caller a line.

The current askpass code simply dies if calling an askpass
helper fails. Worse, in some failure modes it doesn't even
print an error (if start_command fails, then it prints its
own error; if reading fails, we print an error; but if the
command exits non-zero, finish_command fails and we print
nothing!).
Let's be more kind to the user by printing an error message
when askpass doesn't work out, and then falling back to the
terminal (which also may fail, of course, but we die already
there with a nice message).
While we're at it, let's clean up the existing error
messages a bit. Now that our prompts are very long and
contain quotes and colons themselves, our error messages are
hard to read.
So the new failure modes look like:
[before, with a terminal]
$ GIT_ASKPASS=false git push
$ echo $?
128
[before, with no terminal, and we must give up]
$ setsid git push
fatal: could not read 'Password for 'https://peff@github.com': ': No such device or address
[after, with a terminal]
$ GIT_ASKPASS=false git push
error: unable to read askpass response from 'false'

The do_askpass function inherited a few bad habits from the
original git_getpass. One, there's no need to strbuf_reset a
buffer which was just initialized. And two, it's a good
habit to use strbuf_detach to claim ownership of a buffer's
string (even though in this case the owning buffer goes out
of scope, so it's effectively the same thing).

Gitweb forgot to turn query parameters into UTF-8. This results in a bug
that one cannot search for a string with characters outside US-ASCII. For
example searching for "Michał Kiedrowicz" (containing letter 'ł' - LATIN
SMALL LETTER L WITH STROKE, with Unicode codepoint U+0142, represented
with 0xc5 0x82 bytes in UTF-8 and percent-encoded as %C5%82) result in the
following incorrect data in search field
MichaÅ\202 Kiedrowicz
This is caused by CGI by default treating '0xc5 0x82' bytes as two
characters in Perl legacy encoding latin-1 (iso-8859-1), because 's'
query parameter is not processed explicitly as UTF-8 encoded string.
The solution used here follows "Using Unicode in a Perl CGI script"
article on http://www.lemoda.net/cgi/perl-unicode/index.html:
use CGI;
use Encode 'decode_utf8;
my $value = params('input');
$value = decode_utf8($value);
Decoding UTF-8 is done when filling %input_params hash and $path_info
variable; the former requires to move from explicit $cgi->param(<label>)
to $input_params{<name>} in a few places, which is a good idea anyway.
Also add -override=>1 parameter to $cgi->textfield() invocation in search
form. Otherwise CGI would use values from query string if it is present,
filling value from $cgi->param... without decode_utf8(). As we are using
value of appropriate parameter anyway, -override=>1 doesn't change the
situation but makes gitweb fill search field correctly.
We could simply use the '-utf8' pragma (via "use CGI '-utf8';") to solve
this, but according to CGI.pm documentation, it may cause problems with
POST requests containing binary files, and it requires CGI 3.31 (I think),
released with perl v5.8.9.

On 32-bit architectures with 64-bit file offsets, gcc 4.3 and earlier
produce the following warning:
CC vcs-svn/sliding_window.o
vcs-svn/sliding_window.c: In function `check_overflow':
vcs-svn/sliding_window.c:36: warning: comparison is always false \
due to limited range of data type
The warning appears even when gcc is run without any warning flags
(this is gcc bug 12963). In later versions the same warning can be
reproduced with -Wtype-limits, which is implied by -Wextra.
On 64-bit architectures it really is possible for a size_t not to be
representable as an off_t so the check this is warning about is not
actually redundant. But even false positives are distracting. Avoid
the warning by making the "len" argument to check_overflow a
uintmax_t; no functional change intended.

There is no reason in principle that an svn-format dump would not be
able to represent a file whose length does not fit in a 32-bit
integer. Use off_t consistently to represent file lengths (in place
of using uint32_t in some contexts) so we can handle that.
Most svn-fe code is already ready to do that without this patch and
passes values of type off_t around. The type mismatch from stragglers
was noticed with gcc -Wtype-limits.
While at it, tighten the parsing of the Text-content-length field to
make sure it is a number and does not overflow, and tighten other
overflow checks as that value is passed around and manipulated.

This commit changes the project listing views (project_list,
project_index and opml) to limit the output to only projects in a
subdirectory if the new optional parameter ?pf=directory name is
used.
The implementation of the filter reuses the implementation used for
the 'forks' action (i.e. listing all projects within that directory
from the projects list file (GITWEB_LIST) or only projects in the
given subdirectory of the project root directory without a projects
list file).
Reusing $project instead of adding a new parameter would have been
nicer from a UI point-of-view (including PATH_INFO support) but
would complicate the $project validating code that is currently
being used to ensure nothing is exported that should not be viewable.

Use of the filter option of git_get_projects_list is currently limited
to forks. It currently assumes the project belonging to the filter
directory was already validated to be visible in the project list.
To make it more generic add an optional argument to denote visibility
verification is still needed.
If there is a projects list file (GITWEB_LIST) only projects from
this list are returned anyway, so no more checks needed.
If there is no projects list file and the caller requests strict
checking (GITWEB_STRICT_EXPORT), do not jump directly to the
given directory but instead do a normal search and filter the
results instead.
The only effect of GITWEB_STRICT_EXPORT without GITWEB_LIST is to make
sure no project can be viewed without also be found starting from
project root. git_get_projects_list without this patch does not enforce
this but all callers only call it with a filter already checked this
way. With this parameter a caller can request this check if the filter
cannot be checked this way.

When asking for a tag to be pulled, disambiguate by leaving tags/ prefix
in front of the name of the tag. E.g.
... in the git repository at:
git://example.com/git/git.git/ tags/v1.2.3
for you to fetch changes up to 123456...
This way, older versions of "git pull" can be used to respond to such a
request more easily, as "git pull $URL v1.2.3" did not DWIM to fetch
v1.2.3 tag in older versions. Also this makes it clearer for humans that
the pull request is made for a tag and he should anticipate a signed one.

Before f824628 (merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions,
2012-01-10), git-merge only started an editor if the user explicitly
asked for it with --edit. Thus it seemed unlikely that the user would
need extra guidance.
After f824628 the _normal_ thing is to start an editor. Give at least
an indication of why we are doing it.
The sentence about justification is one of the few things about
standard git that are not agnostic to the workflow that the user
chose. However, f824628 was proposed by Linus specifically to
discourage users from merging unrelated upstream progress into topic
branches. So we may as well take another step in the same direction.
