42d8c27990 git-p4: add tests demonstrating spec overlay ambiguities
Introduce new tests that look more closely at overlay situations
when there are conflicting files.  Five of these are broken.
Document the brokenness.

This is a fundamental problem with how git-p4 only "borrows" a
client spec.  At some sync operation, a new change can contain
a file which is already in the repo or explicitly deleted through
another mapping.  To sort this out would involve listing all the
files in the client spec to find one with a higher priority.
While this is not too hard for the initial import, subsequent
sync operations would be very costly.

3e6e0edde2 clone: add --single-branch to fetch only one branch
When --single-branch is given, only one branch, either HEAD or one
specified by --branch, will be fetched. Also only tags that point to
the downloaded history are fetched.

This helps most in shallow clones, where it can reduce the download to
minimum and that is why it is enabled by default when --depth is given.

07b88a00c0 Documentation: rerere.enabled is the primary way to configure rerere
The wording seems to suggest that creating the directory is needed and the
setting of rerere.enabled is only for disabling the feature by setting it
to 'false'. But the configuration is meant to be the primary control and
setting it to 'true' will enable it; the rr-cache directory will be
created as necessary and the user does not have to create it.

96890f4c42 write first for-merge ref to FETCH_HEAD first
The FETCH_HEAD refname is supposed to refer to the ref that was fetched
and should be merged. However all fetched refs are written to
.git/FETCH_HEAD in an arbitrary order, and resolve_ref_unsafe simply
takes the first ref as the FETCH_HEAD, which is often the wrong one,
when other branches were also fetched.

The solution is to write the for-merge ref(s) to FETCH_HEAD first.
Then, unless --append is used, the FETCH_HEAD refname behaves as intended.
If the user uses --append, they presumably are doing so in order to
preserve the old FETCH_HEAD.

While we are at it, update an old example in the read-tree documentation
that implied that each entry in FETCH_HEAD only has the object name, which
is not true for quite a while.

Document how git-p4 currently works when specifying multiple

1.  No branches or directories are named.

2.  Conflicting files are silently ignored---the last change
    wins.

2.  Option --destination is required, else the last path is construed
    to be a directory.

3.  Revision specifiers must be the same on all paths for them to
    take effect.

2830308260 docs: brush up obsolete bits of git-fsck manpage
After the description and options, the fsck manpage contains
some discussion about what it does. Over time, this
discussion has become somewhat obsolete, both in content and
formatting. In particular:

  1. There are many options now, so starting the discussion
     with "It tests..." makes it unclear whether we are
     talking about the last option, or about the tool in
     general. Let's start a new "discussion" section and
     make our antecedent more clear.

  2. It gave an example for --unreachable using for-each-ref
     to mention all of the heads, saying that it will do "a
     _lot_ of verification". This is hopelessly out-of-date,
     as giving no arguments will check much more (reflogs,
     the index, non-head refs).

  3. It goes on to mention tests "to be added" (like tree
     object sorting). We now have these tests.

71e1b4b6bf credentials: add "store" helper
This is like "cache", except that we actually put the
credentials on disk. This can be terribly insecure, of
course, but we do what we can to protect them by filesystem
permissions, and we warn the user in the documentation.

This is not unlike using .netrc to store entries, but it's a
little more user-friendly. Instead of putting credentials in
place ahead of time, we transparently store them after
prompting the user for them once.

e2770979fe credentials: add "cache" helper
If you access repositories over smart-http using http
authentication, then it can be annoying to have git ask you
for your password repeatedly. We cache credentials in
memory, of course, but git is composed of many small
programs. Having to input your password for each one can be
frustrating.

This patch introduces a credential helper that will cache
passwords in memory for a short period of time.

d3e847c107 credential: add function for parsing url components
All of the components of a credential struct can be found in
a URL.  For example, the URL:

  http://foo:bar@example.com/repo.git

contains:

  protocol=http
  host=example.com
  path=repo.git
  username=foo
  password=bar

We want to be able to turn URLs into broken-down credential
structs so that we know two things:

  1. Which parts of the username/password we still need

  2. What the context of the request is (for prompting or
     as a key for storing credentials).

This code is based on http_auth_init in http.c, but needed a
few modifications in order to get all of the components that
the credential object is interested in.

Once the http code is switched over to the credential API,
then http_auth_init can just go away.

abca927dbe introduce credentials API
There are a few places in git that need to get a username
and password credential from the user; the most notable one
is HTTP authentication for smart-http pushing.

Right now the only choices for providing credentials are to
put them plaintext into your ~/.netrc, or to have git prompt
you (either on the terminal or via an askpass program). The
former is not very secure, and the latter is not very
convenient.

Unfortunately, there is no "always best" solution for
password management. The details will depend on the tradeoff
you want between security and convenience, as well as how
git can integrate with other security systems (e.g., many
operating systems provide a keychain or password wallet for
single sign-on).

This patch provides an abstract notion of credentials as a
data item, and provides three basic operations:

  - fill (i.e., acquire from external storage or from the
    user)

  - approve (mark a credential as "working" for further
    storage)

  - reject (mark a credential as "not working", so it can
    be removed from storage)

These operations can be backed by external helper processes
that interact with system- or user-specific secure storage.

5e9637c629 i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext
Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show
localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using
either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation.

This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If
gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with
NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of
showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script
we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act
appropriately.

This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and
Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for
those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test
translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this
purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy
to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to
understand.

The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various
sub-parts of this commit.

= Installation

Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard
$(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to
override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself.

= Perl

Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n
module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default.

Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've
opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface)
Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses.

Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and
some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the
$TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own
hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages.

I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to
circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly
internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed
necessary.

See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for
a further elaboration on this topic.

= Shell

Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n
library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh.

If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's
available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris,
which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to
emulate eval_gettext() there.

If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through
wrapper.

= About libcharset.h and langinfo.h

We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if
it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if
HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set.

The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's
nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on
systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is
either saner, or the only option on those systems.

GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either,
but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset()
instead.

=Credits

This patch is based on work by Jeff Epler <jepler@unpythonic.net> who

f80a87262a revert: rename --reset option to --quit
The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the
sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce
--reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name.
Change it now, while we still have the time.

The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've
long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when
you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit.  Mnemonic:
this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using ---
we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure
and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state.

The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact.  We
might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though.

Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit)
instead of --reset.  While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions
of these operations in "-h" output.

Before:

	--reset		forget the current operation
	--continue	continue the current operation

After:

	--quit		end revert or cherry-pick sequence
	--continue	resume revert or cherry-pick sequence

Currently we either need to set branch.<name>.rebase for existing

the forethought of setting "branch.autosetuprebase" before we create
the branch.

Introduce a "pull.rebase" option to globally configure "git pull" to
mean "git pull --rebase" for any branch.

This option will be considered at a lower priority than
branch.<name>.rebase, i.e. we could set pull.rebase=true and
branch.<name>.rebase=false and the latter configuration option would
win.

7fe74f52f9 RelNotes/1.7.7.1: setgid bit patch is about fixing "git init" via Makefile setting
The change was actually about "git init -s" which sets the setgid bit on
SysV-style systems to allow shared access to a repository, and can provoke
errors on BSD-style systems, depending on how permissive the filesystem in
use wants to be.

More to the point, the patch was just taking a fix that arrived for
FreeBSD in v1.5.5 days and making it also apply to machines using an
(obscure) GNU userland/FreeBSD kernel mixture.

821881d88d "rebase -i": support special-purpose editor to edit insn sheet
The insn sheet used by "rebase -i" is designed to be easily editable by
any text editor, but an editor that is specifically meant for it (but
is otherwise unsuitable for editing regular text files) could be useful
by allowing drag & drop reordering in a GUI environment, for example.

The GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable and/or the sequence.editor
configuration variable can be used to specify such an editor, while
allowing the usual editor to be used to edit commit log messages. As
usual, the environment variable takes precedence over the configuration
variable.

It is envisioned that other "sequencer" based tools will use the same
mechanism.

afd7f1eb0f git svn dcommit: new option --interactive.
Allow the user to check the patch set before it is commited to SVN. It is
then possible to accept/discard one patch, accept all, or quit.

This interactive mode is similar with 'git send email' behaviour. However,
'git svn dcommit' returns as soon as one patch is discarded.
Part of the code was taken from git-send-email.perl (see 'ask' function)

Tests several combinations of potential answers to
'git svn dcommit --interactive'. For each of them, test whether patches
were commited to SVN or not.

Thanks-to Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> for the initial idea.

d5570f4d2c daemon: give friendlier error messages to clients
When the git-daemon is asked about an inaccessible repository, it simply
hangs up the connection without saying anything further. This makes it
hard to distinguish between a repository we cannot access (e.g., due to
typo), and a service or network outage.

Instead, let's print an "ERR" line, which git clients understand since
v1.6.1 (2008-12-24).

Because there is a risk of leaking information about non-exported
repositories, by default all errors simply say "access denied or
repository not exported". Sites which don't have hidden repositories, or
don't care, can pass a flag to turn on more specific messages.

66f4b98ad9 Teach merge the '[-e|--edit]' option
Implemented internally instead of as "git merge --no-commit && git commit"
so that "merge --edit" is otherwise consistent (hooks, etc) with "merge".

Note: the edit message does not include the status information that one
gets with "commit --status" and it is cleaned up after editing like one
gets with "commit --cleanup=default". A later patch could add the status
information if desired.

Note: previously we were not calling stripspace() after running the
prepare-commit-msg hook. Now we are, stripping comments and
leading/trailing whitespace lines if --edit is given, otherwise only
stripping leading/trailing whitespace lines if not given --edit.

14937c2c06 diff: add option to show whole functions as context
Add the option -W/--function-context to git diff.  It is similar to
the same option of git grep and expands the context of change hunks
so that the whole surrounding function is shown.  This "natural"
context can allow changes to be understood better.

Note: GNU patch doesn't like diffs generated with the new option;
it seems to expect context lines to be the same before and after
changes.  git apply doesn't complain.

This implementation has the same shortcoming as the one in grep,
namely that there is no way to explicitly find the end of a
function.  That means that a few lines of extra context are shown,
right up to the next recognized function begins.  It's already
useful in its current form, though.

The function get_func_line() in xdiff/xemit.c is extended to work
forward as well as backward to find post-context as well as
pre-context.  It returns the position of the first found matching
line.  The func_line parameter is made optional, as we don't need
it for -W.

The enhanced function is then used in xdl_emit_diff() to extend
the context as needed.  If the added context overlaps with the
next change, it is merged into the current hunk.

b7200e8397 branch: teach --edit-description option
Using branch.$name.description as the configuration key, give users a
place to write about what the purpose of the branch is and things like
that, so that various subsystems, e.g. "push -s", "request-pull", and
"format-patch --cover-letter", can later be taught to use this
information.

The "-m" option similar to "commit/tag" is deliberately omitted, as the
whole point of branch description is about giving descriptive information
(the name of the branch itself is a better place for information that fits
on a single-line).

a40e6fb67a Change check_refname_format() to reject unnormalized refnames
Since much of the infrastructure does not work correctly with
unnormalized refnames, change check_refname_format() to reject them.

Similarly, change "git check-ref-format" to reject unnormalized
refnames by default.  But add an option --normalize, which causes "git
check-ref-format" to normalize the refname before checking its format,
and print the normalized refname.  This is exactly the behavior of the
old --print option, which is retained but deprecated.

e4ed6105ec git check-ref-format: add options --allow-onelevel and --refspec-pattern
Also add tests of the new options.  (Actually, one big reason to add
the new options is to make it easy to test check_ref_format(), though
the options should also be useful to other scripts.)

Interpret the result of check_ref_format() based on which types of
refnames are allowed.  However, because check_ref_format() can only
return a single value, one test case is still broken.  Specifically,
the case "git check-ref-format --onelevel '*'" incorrectly succeeds
because check_ref_format() returns CHECK_REF_FORMAT_ONELEVEL for this

The type of check that leads to this failure is used elsewhere in
"real" code and could lead to bugs; it will be fixed over the next few
commits.

87182b17ed use -h for synopsis and --help for manpage consistently
A few scripted Porcelain implementations pretend as if the routine to show
their own help messages are triggered upon "git cmd --help", but a command
line parser of "git" will hijack such a request and shows the manpage for
the cmd subcommand.

Leaving the code to handle such input is simply misleading.

0a93fb8a9c grep: teach --untracked and --exclude-standard options
In a working tree of a git managed repository, "grep --untracked" would
find the specified patterns from files in untracked files in addition to
its usual behaviour of finding them in the tracked files.

By default, when working with "--no-index" option, "grep" does not pay
attention to .gitignore mechanism. "grep --no-index --exclude-standard"
can be used to tell the command to use .gitignore and stop reporting hits
from files that would be ignored. Also, when working without "--no-index",
"grep" honors .gitignore mechanism, and "grep --no-exclude-standard" can
be used to tell the command to include hits from files that are ignored.

8a55caa8a3 ident: check /etc/mailname if email is unknown
Before falling back to gethostname(), check /etc/mailname if
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL is not set in the environment or through config
files.  Only fall back if /etc/mailname cannot be opened or read.

The /etc/mailname convention comes from Debian policy section 11.6
("mail transport, delivery and user agents"), though maybe it could be
useful sometimes on other machines, too.  The lack of this support was
noticed by various people in different ways:

 - Ian observed that git was choosing the address
   'ian@anarres.relativity.greenend.org.uk' rather than
   'ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk' as it should have done.

 - Jonathan noticed that operations like "git commit" were needlessly
   slow when using a resolver that was slow to handle reverse DNS
   lookups.

Alas, after this patch, if /etc/mailname is set up and the [user] name
and email configuration aren't, the committer email will not provide a
charming reminder of which machine commits were made on any more.  But
I think it's worth it.

Mechanics: the functionality of reading mailname goes in its own
function, so people who care about other distros can easily add an
implementation to a similar location without making copy_email() too
long and losing clarity.  While at it, we split out the fallback
default logic that does gethostname(), too (rearranging it a little
and adding a check for errors from gethostname while at it).

Based on a patch by Gerrit Pape <pape@smarden.org>.

81b568c839 diff: resurrect XDF_NEED_MINIMAL with --minimal
Earlier, 582aa00 (git diff too slow for a file, 2010-05-02)
unconditionally dropped XDF_NEED_MINIMAL option from the internal xdiff
invocation to help performance on pathological cases, while hinting that a
follow-up patch could reintroduce it with "--minimal" option from the
command line.

Make it so.

6acec0380b parseopt: add OPT_NOOP_NOARG
Add OPT_NOOP_NOARG, a helper macro to define deprecated options in a
standard way.  The help text is taken from the no-op option -r of
git revert.

The callback could be made to emit a (conditional?) warning later.  And
we could also add OPT_NOOP (requiring an argument) etc. as needed.

b04ba2bb42 parse-options: deprecate OPT_BOOLEAN
It is natural to expect that an option defined with OPT_BOOLEAN() could be
used in this way:

	int option = -1; /* unspecified */

	struct option options[] = {
		OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "option", &option, "set option"),
                OPT_END()
	};
	parse_options(ac, av, prefix, options, usage, 0);

        if (option < 0)
        	... do the default thing ...
	else if (!option)
		... --no-option was given ...
	else
		... --option was given ...

to easily tell three cases apart:

 - There is no mention of the `--option` on the command line;
 - The variable is positively set with `--option`; or
 - The variable is explicitly negated with `--no-option`.

Unfortunately, this is not the case. OPT_BOOLEAN() increments the variable
every time `--option` is given, and resets it to zero when `--no-option`
is given.

As a first step to remedy this, introduce a true boolean OPT_BOOL(), and
rename OPT_BOOLEAN() to OPT_COUNTUP(). To help transitioning, OPT_BOOLEAN
and OPTION_BOOLEAN are defined as deprecated synonyms to OPT_COUNTUP and
OPTION_COUNTUP respectively.

This is what db7244b (parse-options new features., 2007-11-07) from four
years ago started by marking OPTION_BOOLEAN as "INCR would have been a
better name".

Some existing users do depend on the count-up semantics; for example,
users of OPT__VERBOSE() could use it to raise the verbosity level with
repeated use of `-v` on the command line, but they probably should be
rewritten to use OPT__VERBOSITY() instead these days.  I suspect that some
users of OPT__FORCE() may also use it to implement different level of
forcibleness but I didn't check.

On top of this patch, here are the remaining clean-up tasks that other
people can help:

 - Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT_BOOLEAN"; trace all uses of the
   value that is set to the underlying variable, and if it can proven that
   the variable is only used as a boolean, replace it with OPT_BOOL(). If
   the caller does depend on the count-up semantics, replace it with
   OPT_COUNTUP() instead.

 - Same for OPTION_BOOLEAN; replace it with OPTION_SET_INT and arrange to
   set 1 to the variable for a true boolean, and otherwise replace it with
   OPTION_COUNTUP.

 - Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT__VERBOSE -e OPT__QUIET" and see if
   they can be replaced with OPT__VERBOSITY().

I'll follow this message up with a separate patch as an example.
