Change the "nr" and "alloc" members of "struct string_list" to use
"size_t" instead of "nr". On some platforms the size of an "unsigned
int" will be smaller than a "size_t", e.g. a 32 bit unsigned v.s. 64
bit unsigned. As "struct string_list" is a generic API we use in a lot
of places this might cause overflows.
As one example: code in "refs.c" keeps track of the number of refs
with a "size_t", and auxiliary code in builtin/remote.c in
get_ref_states() appends those to a "struct string_list".
While we're at it split the "nr" and "alloc" in string-list.h across
two lines, which is the case for most such struct member
declarations (e.g. in "strbuf.h" and "strvec.h").
Changing e.g. "int i" to "size_t i" in run_and_feed_hook() isn't
strictly necessary, and there are a lot more cases where we'll use a
local "int", "unsigned int" etc. variable derived from the "nr" in the
"struct string_list". But in that case as well as
add_wrapped_shortlog_msg() in builtin/shortlog.c we need to adjust the
printf format referring to "nr" anyway, so let's also change the other
variables referring to it.

In the free_mailmap_entry() code added in 0925ce4d49 (Add map_user()

clear the "me" structure, but while we freed parts of the

This brings the number of SANITIZE=leak failures in t4203-mailmap.sh

.mailmap files are handled consistently whether read from the a blob (as

Likewise, we would like to avoid reading out-of-tree files pointed to by

When trying to find a .mailmap file, we will always look for it in the
current directory. This makes sense in a repository with a working tree,
since we'd always go to the toplevel directory at startup. But for a
bare repository, it can be confusing. With an option like --git-dir (or
$GIT_DIR in the environment), we don't chdir at all, and we'd read
.mailmap from whatever directory you happened to be in before starting
Git.
(Note that --git-dir without specifying a working tree historically
means "the current directory is the root of the working tree", but most
bare repositories will have core.bare set these days, meaning they will
realize there is no working tree at all).
The documentation for gitmailmap(5) says:
If the file `.mailmap` exists at the toplevel of the repository[...]
which likewise reinforces the notion that we are looking in the working
tree.
This patch prevents us from looking for such a file when we're in a bare
repository. This does break something that used to work:
cd bare.git
git cat-file blob HEAD:.mailmap >.mailmap
git shortlog
But that was never advertised in the documentation. And these days we
have mailmap.blob (which defaults to HEAD:.mailmap) to do the same thing
in a much cleaner way.
However, there's one more interesting case: we might not have a
repository at all! The git-shortlog command can be run with git-log
output fed on its stdin, and it will apply the mailmap. In that case, it
probably does make sense to read .mailmap from the current directory.
This patch will continue to do so.
That leads to one even weirder case: if you run git-shortlog to process
stdin, the input _could_ be from a different repository entirely. Should
we respect the in-tree .mailmap then? Probably yes. Whatever the source
of the input, if shortlog is running in a repository, the documentation
claims that we'd read the .mailmap from its top-level (and of course
it's reasonably likely that it _is_ from the same repo, and the user
just preferred to run git-log and git-shortlog separately for whatever
reason).
The included test covers these cases, and we now document the "no repo"
case explicitly.
We also add a test that confirms we find a top-level ".mailmap" even
when we start in a subdirectory of the working tree. This worked both
before and after this commit, but we never tested it explicitly (it
works because we always chdir to the top-level of the working tree if
there is one).

Remove support for the magical "repo-abbrev" comment in .mailmap
files. This was added to .mailmap parsing in [1], as a generalized
feature of the git-shortlog Perl script added earlier in [2].
There was no documentation or tests for this feature, and I don't
think it's used in practice anymore.
What it did was to allow you to specify a single string to be
search-replaced with "/.../" in the .mailmap file. E.g. for
linux.git's current .mailmap:
git archive --remote=git@gitlab.com:linux-kernel/linux.git \
HEAD -- .mailmap | grep -a repo-abbrev
# repo-abbrev: /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/
Then when running e.g.:
git shortlog --merges --author=Linus -1 v5.10-rc7..v5.10 | grep Merge
We'd emit (the [...] is mine):
Merge tag [...]git://git.kernel.org/.../tip/tip
But will now emit:
Merge tag [...]git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
I think at this point this is just a historical artifact we can get
rid of. It was initially meant for Linus's own use when we integrated
the Perl script[2], but since then it seems he's stopped using it.
Digging through Linus's release announcements on the LKML[3] the last
release I can find that made use of this output is Linux 2.6.25-rc6
back in March 2008[4]. Later on Linus started using --no-merges[5],
and nowadays seems to prefer some custom not-quite-shortlog format of
merges from lieutenants[6].
You will still see it on linux.git if you run "git shortlog" manually
yourself with --merges, with this removed you can still get the same
output with:
git log --pretty=fuller v5.10-rc7..v5.10 |
sed 's!/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/!/.../!g' |
git shortlog
Arguably we should do the same for the search-replacing of "[PATCH]"
at the beginning with "". That seems to be another relic of a bygone
era when linux.git patches would have their E-Mail subject lines
applied as-is by "git am" or whatever. But we documented that feature
in "git-shortlog(1)", and it seems more widely applicable than
something purely kernel-specific.

The mailmap code may be triggered outside of a repository by
git-shortlog. There is no point in looking up a name like
"HEAD:.mailmap" there; without a repository, we have no
refs.
This is unlikely to matter much in practice for the current
code, as we would simply fail to find the ref. But as the
refs code learns about new backends, this is more important;
without a repository, we do not even know which backend to

The read_mailmap_buf function reads each line of the mailmap
using strchrnul, like:
const char *end = strchrnul(buf, '\n');
unsigned long linelen = end - buf + 1;
But that's off-by-one when we actually hit the NUL byte; our
line does not have a terminator, and so is only "end - buf"
bytes long. As a result, when we subtract the linelen from
the total len, we end up with (unsigned long)-1 bytes left
in the buffer, and we start reading random junk from memory.
We could fix it with:
unsigned long linelen = end - buf + !!*end;
but let's take a step back for a moment. It's questionable
in the first place for a function that takes a buffer and
length to be using strchrnul. But it works because we only
have one caller (and are only likely to ever have this one),
which is handing us data from read_sha1_file. Which means
that it's always NUL-terminated.
Instead of tightening the assumptions to make the
buffer/length pair work for a caller that doesn't actually
exist, let's let loosen the assumptions to what the real
caller has: a modifiable, NUL-terminated string.
This makes the code simpler and shorter (because we don't
have to correlate strchrnul with the length calculation),
correct (because the code with the off-by-one just goes
away), and more efficient (we can drop the extra allocation
we needed to create NUL-terminated strings for each line,
and just terminate in place).

In map_user(), we have email pointer that points at the beginning of
an e-mail address, but the buffer is not terminated with a NUL after
the e-mail address. It typically has ">" after the address, and it
could have even more if it comes from author/committer line in a
commit object. Or it may not have ">" after it.
We used to copy the e-mail address proper into a temporary buffer
before asking the string-list API to find the e-mail address in the
mailmap, because string_list_lookup() function only takes a NUL
terminated full string.
Introduce a helper function lookup_prefix that takes the email
pointer and the length, and finds a matching entry in the string
list used for the mailmap, by doing the following:
- First ask string_list_find_insert_index() where in its sorted
list the e-mail address we have (including the possible trailing
junk ">...") would be inserted.
- It could find an exact match (e.g. we had a clean e-mail address
without any trailing junk). We can return the item in that case.
- Or it could return the index of an item that sorts after the
e-mail address we have.
- If we did not find an exact match against a clean e-mail address,
then the record we are looking for in the mailmap has to exist
before the index returned by the function (i.e. "email>junk"
always sorts later than "email"). Iterate, starting from that
index, down the map->items[] array until we find the exact record
we are looking for, or we see a record with a key that definitely
sorts earlier than the e-mail we are looking for (i.e. when we
are looking for "email" in "email>junk", a record in the mailmap
that begins with "emaik" strictly sorts before "email", if such a
key existed in the mailmap).
This, together with the earlier enhancement to support
case-insensitive sorting, allow us to remove an extra copy of email
buffer to downcase it.
A part of this is based on Antoine Pelisse's previous work.

The motivation for mailmap.blob is to let users of bare
repositories use the mailmap feature, as they would not have
a checkout containing the .mailmap file. We can make it even
easier for them by just looking in HEAD:.mailmap by default.
We can't know for sure that this is where they would keep a
mailmap, of course, but it is the best guess (and it matches
the non-bare behavior, which reads from HEAD:.mailmap in the
working tree). If it's missing, git will silently ignore the
setting.
We do not do the same magic in the non-bare case, because:
1. In the common case, HEAD:.mailmap will be the same as
the .mailmap in the working tree, which is a no-op.
2. In the uncommon case, the user has modified .mailmap
but not yet committed it, and would expect the working
tree version to take precedence.

The error handling for the read_mailmap function is odd. It
returns 1 on error, rather than -1. And it treats a
non-existent mailmap as an error, even though there is no
reason that one needs to exist. Unless some other mailmap
source loads successfully, in which case the original error
is completely masked.
This does not cause any bugs, however, because no caller
bothers to check the return value, anyway. Let's make this a
little more robust to real errors and less surprising for
future callers that do check the error code:
1. Return -1 on errors.
2. Treat a missing entry (e.g., no mailmap.file given),
ENOENT, or a non-existent blob (for mailmap.blob) as
"no error".
3. Complain loudly when a real error (e.g., a transient
I/O error, no permission to open the mailmap file,
missing or corrupted blob object, etc) occurs.

the function returns 0 when it did not do anything, and it returns 1 when
the caller should use the updated contents.
The 'email' input to the function is terminated by '>' or a NUL (whichever
comes first) for historical reasons, but when a rewrite happens, the value
is replaced with the mailbox inside the <> pair. However, it failed to
meet this expectation when it only rewrote the name part without rewriting
the email part, and the email in the input was terminated by '>'.
This causes an extra '>' to appear in the output of "blame -e", because the
caller does send in '>'-terminated email, and when the function returned 1
to tell it that rewriting happened, it appends '>' that is necessary when
the email part was rewritten.
The patch looks bigger than it actually is, because this change makes a
variable that points at the end of the email part in the input 'p' live
much longer than it used to, deserving a more descriptive name.
Noticed and diagnosed by Felipe Contreras and Jeff King.
