e607b79fb1 gitweb: Highlight matched part of shortened project description
Previous commit make gitweb use esc_html_match_hl() to mark match in
the _whole_ description of a project when searching projects.

This commit makes gitweb highlight match in _shortened_ description,
based on match in whole description, using esc_html_match_hl_chopped()
subroutine.

If match is in removed (chopped) part, even partially, then trailing
"... " is highlighted.

5fb3cf2317 gitweb: Highlight matched part of project description when searching projects
Use esc_html_match_hl() from earlier commit to mark match in the
_whole_ description when searching projects.

Currently, with this commit, when searching projects there is always
shown full description of a project, and not a shortened one (like for
ordinary projects list view), even if the match is on project name and
not project description.  Because we always show full description of a
project, and not possibly shortened name, there is no need for having
full description on mouseover via title attribute.

Showing full description when there is match on it is useful to avoid
situation where match is in shortened, invisible part.  On the other
hand that makes project search different than projects list view; also
there can be problems with overly-long project descriptions.

07a40062ae gitweb: Highlight matched part of project name when searching projects
Use esc_html_match_hl() introduced in previous commit to escape HTML
and mark match, using span element with 'match' class.  Currently only
the 'path' part (i.e. the project name) is highlighted; match might be
on the project description.  Highlighting match in description is left
for next commit.

The code makes use of the fact that defined $search_regexp means that
there was search going on.

337da8d2b0 gitweb: Introduce esc_html_match_hl and esc_html_hl_regions
The esc_html_match_hl() subroutine added in this commit will be used
to highlight *all* matches of given regexp, using 'match' class.
Ultimately it is to be used in all match highlighting, starting
with project search, which does not have it yet.

It uses the esc_html_hl_regions() subroutine, which is meant to
highlight in a given string a list of regions (given as a list of
[ beg, end ] pairs of positions in string), using HTML <span> element
with given class.  It could probably be used in other places that
do highlighting of part of ready line, like highlighting of changes
in a diff (diff refinement highlighting).

Implementation and enhancement notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Currently esc_html_hl_regions() subroutine doesn't accept any
  parameters, like esc_html() does.  We might want for example to
  pass  nbsp=>1  to it.

  It can easily be done with the following code:

    my %opts = grep { ref($_) ne "ARRAY" } @sel;
    @sel     = grep { ref($_) eq "ARRAY" } @sel;

  This allow adding parameters after or before regions, e.g.:

    esc_html_hl_regions("foo bar", "mark", [ 0, 3 ], -nbsp => 1);

* esc_html_hl_regions() escapes like esc_html(); if we wanted to
  highlight with esc_path(), we could pass subroutine reference
  to now named esc_gen_hl_regions().

    esc_html_hl_regions("foo bar", "mark", \&esc_path, [ 0, 3 ]);

  Note that this way we can handle -nbsp=>1 case automatically,
  e.g.

    esc_html_hl_regions("foo bar", "mark",
                        sub { esc_html(@_, -nbsp=>1) },
                        [ 0, 3 ]);

* Alternate solution for highlighting region of a string would be to
  use the idea that strings are to be HTML-escaped, and references to
  scalars are HTML (like in the idea for generic committags).

  This would require modifying gitweb code or esc_html to get list of
  fragments, e.g.:

    esc_html(\'<span class="mark">', 'foo', \'</span>', ' bar',
             { -nbsp => 1 });

  or

    esc_html([\'<span class="mark">', 'foo', \'</span>', ' bar'],
             -nbsp=>1);

  esc_html_match_hl() could be then simple wrapper around "match
  formatter", e.g.

    esc_html([ render_match_hl($str, $regexp) ], -nbsp=>1);

fba4f1259d grep -P: Fix matching ^ and $
When "git grep" is run with -P/--perl-regexp, it doesn't match ^ and $ at
the beginning/end of the line.  This is because PCRE normally matches ^
and $ at the beginning/end of the whole text, not for each line, and "git
grep" passes a large chunk of text (possibly containing many lines) to
pcre_exec() and then splits the text into lines.

This makes "git grep -P" behave differently from "git grep -E" and also
from "grep -P" and "pcregrep":

	$ cat file
	a
	 b
	$ git grep --no-index -P '^ ' file
	$ git grep --no-index -E '^ ' file
	file: b
	$ grep -c -P '^ ' file
	 b
	$ pcregrep -c '^ ' file
	 b

This works in both bash and dash:

    $ bash -c 'VAR=1 env' | grep VAR
    VAR=1
    $ dash -c 'VAR=1 env' | grep VAR
    VAR=1

But environment variables assigned this way are not necessarily propagated
through a function in POSIX compliant shells:

    $ bash -c 'f() { "$@"
    }; VAR=1 f "env"' | grep VAR
    VAR=1
    $ dash -c 'f() { "$@"

543987bd47 git-p4: fix submit regression with clientSpec and subdir clone
When the --use-client-spec is given to clone, and the clone
path is a subset of the full tree as specified in the client,
future submits will go to the wrong place.

Factor out getClientSpec() so both clone/sync and submit can
use it.  Introduce getClientRoot() that is needed for the client
spec case, and use it instead of p4Where().

Test the five possible submit behaviors (add, modify, rename,
copy, delete).

0f1930c587 parse-options: allow positivation of options starting, with no-
Long options can be negated by adding no- right after the leading
two dashes. This is useful e.g. to override options set by aliases.

For options that are defined to start with no- already, this looks
a bit funny. Allow such options to also be negated by removing the
prefix.

The following thirteen options are affected:

	apply          --no-add
	bisect--helper --no-checkout
	checkout-index --no-create
	clone          --no-checkout --no-hardlinks
	commit         --no-verify   --no-post-rewrite
	format-patch   --no-binary
	hash-object    --no-filters
	read-tree      --no-sparse-checkout
	revert         --no-commit
	show-branch    --no-name
	update-ref     --no-deref

The following five are NOT affected because they are defined with
PARSE_OPT_NONEG or the non-negated version is defined as well:

	branch       --no-merged
	format-patch --no-stat             --no-numbered
	update-index --no-assume-unchanged --no-skip-worktree

4f22b1015d do not stream large files to pack when filters are in use
Because git's object format requires us to specify the
number of bytes in the object in its header, we must know
the size before streaming a blob into the object database.
This is not a problem when adding a regular file, as we can
get the size from stat(). However, when filters are in use
(such as autocrlf, or the ident, filter, or eol
gitattributes), we have no idea what the ultimate size will
be.

The current code just punts on the whole issue and ignores
filter configuration entirely for files larger than
core.bigfilethreshold. This can generate confusing results
if you use filters for large binary files, as the filter
will suddenly stop working as the file goes over a certain
size.  Rather than try to handle unknown input sizes with
streaming, this patch just turns off the streaming
optimization when filters are in use.

This has a slight performance regression in a very specific
case: if you have autocrlf on, but no gitattributes, a large
binary file will avoid the streaming code path because we
don't know beforehand whether it will need conversion or
not. But if you are handling large binary files, you should
be marking them as such via attributes (or at least not
using autocrlf, and instead marking your text files as
such). And the flip side is that if you have a large
_non_-binary file, there is a correctness improvement;
before we did not apply the conversion at all.

The first half of the new t1051 script covers these failures
on input. The second half tests the matching output code
paths. These already work correctly, and do not need any
adjustment.

4c3b57b98b teach dry-run convert_to_git not to require a src buffer
When we call convert_to_git in dry-run mode, it may still
want to look at the source buffer, because some CRLF
conversion modes depend on analyzing the source to determine
whether it is in fact convertible CRLF text.

However, the main motivation for convert_to_git's dry-run
mode is that we would decide which method to use to acquire
the blob's data (streaming versus in-core). Requiring this
source analysis creates a chicken-and-egg problem. We are
better off simply guessing that anything we can't analyze
will end up needing conversion.

This patch lets a caller specify a NULL src buffer when
using dry-run mode (and only dry-run mode). A non-zero
return value goes from "we would convert" to "we might
convert"; a zero return value remains "we would definitely
not convert".

92ac3197e4 teach convert_to_git a "dry run" mode
Some callers may want to know whether convert_to_git will
actually do anything before performing the conversion
itself (e.g., to decide whether to stream or handle blobs
in-core). This patch lets callers specify the dry run mode
by passing a NULL destination buffer. The return value,
instead of indicating whether conversion happened, will
indicate whether conversion would occur.

For readability, we also include a wrapper function which
makes it more obvious we are not actually performing the
conversion.

The test did not adhere to the current style on several counts:

 . empty lines around the test blocks, but within the test string
 . ': > file' or even just '> file' with an extra space
 . inconsistent indentation
 . hand-rolled commits instead of using test_commit

Fix all of them.

There's a catch to the last point: test_commit creates a tag, which the
original test did not create.  We still change it to test_commit, and
explicitly delete the tags, so as to highlight that the test relies on not
having them.

60df071c6c git-p4: add initial support for RCS keywords
RCS keywords cause problems for git-p4 as perforce always
expands them (if +k is set) and so when applying the patch,
git reports that the files have been modified by both sides,
when in fact they haven't.

This change means that when git-p4 detects a problem applying
a patch, it will check to see if keyword expansion could be
the culprit. If it is, it strips the keywords in the p4
repository so that they match what git is expecting. It then
has another go at applying the patch.

This behaviour is enabled with a new git-p4 configuration
option and is off by default.

07b257f940 gitweb: Faster project search
Before searching by some field the information we search for must be
filled in, but we do not have to fill other fields that are not
involved in the search.

To be able to request filling only specified fields,
fill_project_list_info() was enhanced in previous commit to take
additional parameters which specify part of projects info to fill.
This way we can limit doing expensive calculations (like running
git-for-each-ref to get 'age' / "Last changed" info) to doing those
only for projects which we will show as search results.

This commit actually uses this interface, changing gitweb code from
the following behavior

  fill all project info on all projects
  search projects

to behaving like this pseudocode

  fill search fields on all projects
  search projects
  fill all project info on search results

With this commit the number of git commands used to generate search
results is 2*<matched projects> + 1, and depends on number of matched
projects rather than number of all projects (all repositories).

Note: this is 'git for-each-ref' to find last activity, and 'git config'
for each project, and 'git --version' once.

Example performance improvements, for search that selects 2
repositories out of 12 in total:

* Before (warm cache):
  "This page took 0.867151 seconds  and 27 git commands to generate."

* After (warm cache):
  "This page took 0.673643 seconds  and 5 git commands to generate."

Now imagine that they are 5 repositories out of 5000, and cold or
trashed cache case.

Enhance fill_project_list_info() subroutine to accept optional
parameters that specify which fields in project information needs to

This is in preparation of future lazy filling of project info in

14b289bdf7 gitweb: Refactor checking if part of project info need filling
Extract the check if given keys (given parts) of project info needs to
be filled into project_info_needs_filling() subroutine.  It is for now
a thin wrapper around "!exists $project_info->{$key}".

Note that !defined was replaced by more correct !exists.

While at it uniquify treating of all project info, adding checks for
'age' field before running git_get_last_activity(), and also checking
for all keys filled in code protected by conditional, and not only
one.

The code now looks like this

  foreach my $project (@$project_list) {
  	if (given keys need to be filled) {
  		fill given keys
  	}
  	...
  }

d46f476cb2 merge: do not trust fstat(2) too much when checking interactiveness
The heuristic used by "git merge" to decide if it automatically gives an
editor upon clean automerge is to see if the standard input and the
standard output is the same device and is a tty, we are in an interactive
session.  "The same device" test was done by comparing fstat(2) result on
the two file descriptors (and they must match), and we asked isatty() only
for the standard input (we insist that they are the same device and there
is no point asking tty-ness of the standard output).

The stat(2) emulation in the Windows port however does not give a usable
value in the st_ino field, so even if the standard output is connected to
something different from the standard input, "The same device" test may
incorrectly return true. To accomodate it, add another isatty() check for
the standard output stream as well.

c34fe6304c disconnect from remote helpers more gently
When git spawns a remote helper program (like git-remote-http),
the last thing we do before closing the pipe to the child
process is to send a blank line, telling the helper that we
are done issuing commands. However, the helper may already
have exited, in which case the parent git process will
receive SIGPIPE and die.

In particular, this can happen with the remote-curl helper
when it encounters errors during a push. The helper reports
individual errors for each ref back to git-push, and then
exits with a non-zero exit code. Depending on the exact
timing of the write, the parent process may or may not
receive SIGPIPE.

This causes intermittent test failure in t5541.8, and is a
side effect of 5238cbf (remote-curl: Fix push status report
when all branches fail). Before that commit, remote-curl
would not send the final blank line to indicate that the
list of status lines was complete; it would just exit,
closing the pipe. The parent git-push would notice the
closed pipe while reading the status report and exit
immediately itself, propagating the failing exit code. But
post-5238cbf, remote-curl completes the status list before
exiting, git-push actually runs to completion, and then it
tries to cleanly disconnect the helper, leading to the
SIGPIPE race above.

This patch drops all error-checking when sending the final
"we are about to hang up" blank line to helpers. There is
nothing useful for the parent process to do about errors at
that point anyway, and certainly failing to send our "we are
done with commands" line to a helper that has already exited
is not a problem.

bc2fed496b bundle: use a strbuf to scan the log for boundary commits
The first part of the bundle header contains the boundary commits, and
could be approximated by

  # v2 git bundle
  $(git rev-list --pretty=oneline --boundary <ARGS> | grep ^-)

git-bundle actually spawns exactly this rev-list invocation, and does
the grepping internally.

There was a subtle bug in the latter step: it used fgets() with a
1024-byte buffer.  If the user has sufficiently long subjects (e.g.,
by not adhering to the git oneline-subject convention in the first
place), the 'oneline' format can easily overflow the buffer.  fgets()
then returns the rest of the line in the next call(s).  If one of
these remaining parts started with '-', git-bundle would mistakenly
insert it into the bundle thinking it was a boundary commit.

Fix it by using strbuf_getwholeline() instead, which handles arbitrary
line lengths correctly.

Note that on the receiving side in parse_bundle_header() we were
already using strbuf_getwholeline_fd(), so that part is safe.

4056afbcf2 am -3: allow nonstandard -p<num> option
When falling back to 3-way merge, we run "git apply" to synthesize the
fake ancestor tree by parsing the incoming patch, and another "git apply"
to apply the patch to the fake ancestor tree.  Both invocation need to
be aware of the custom -p<num> setting to parse patches that were prepared
with non-standard src/dst prefix.

5e8617f560 bundle: put strbuf_readline_fd in strbuf.c with adjustments
The comment even said that it should eventually go there.  While at
it, match the calling convention and name of the function to the
strbuf_get*line family.  So it now is strbuf_getwholeline_fd.

6ddba5e241 push: add '--prune' option
When pushing groups of refs to a remote, there is no simple way to remove
old refs that still exist at the remote that is no longer updated from us.
This will allow us to remove such refs from the remote.

With this change, running this command

 $ git push --prune remote refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/laptop/*

removes refs/remotes/laptop/foo from the remote if we do not have branch
"foo" locally anymore.
