43a42aa403 Merge branch 'ew/build-time-pager-tweaks'
The build procedure learned PAGER_ENV knob that lists what default
environment variable settings to export for popular pagers.  This
mechanism is used to tweak the default settings to MORE on FreeBSD.

995bc22d7f pager: move pager-specific setup into the build
Allowing PAGER_ENV to be set at build-time allows us to move
pager-specific knowledge out of our build.  This allows us to
set a better default for FreeBSD more(1), which pretends not to
understand ANSI color escapes if the MORE environment variable
is left empty, but accepts the same variables as less(1)

01247e0299 sh-setup: enclose setting of ${VAR=default} in double-quotes
We often make sure an environment variable is set to
something, either set by the user (in which case we do not
molest it) or set it to our default value (otherwise), with

	: ${VAR=default value}

i.e. running the no-op command ":" with ${VAR} as its
parameters (or the default value we supply), relying on that
":" is a no-op.

This pattern, even though it is no-op from correctness point
of view, still can be expensive if the existing value in VAR
has shell glob (because they will be expanded against
filesystem entities) and IFS whitespaces (because the value
need to be split into multiple parameters).  Our invocation
of ":" command does not care if the parameter given to it is
after the value in VAR goes through these processing.

Enclosing the whole thing in double-quote, i.e.

	: "${VAR=default value}"

avoids paying the unnecessary cost, so let's do so.

d323c6b641 i18n: git-sh-setup.sh: mark strings for translation
Positional arguments, such as $0, $1, etc, need to be stored on shell
variables for use in translatable strings, according to gettext manual
[1].

Add git-sh-setup.sh to LOCALIZED_SH variable in Makefile to enable
extraction of string marked for translation by xgettext.

Source git-sh-i18n in git-sh-setup.sh for gettext support.
git-sh-setup.sh is a shell library to be sourced by other shell scripts.
In order to avoid other scripts from sourcing git-sh-i18n twice, remove
line that sources it from them.  Not sourcing git-sh-i18n in any script
that uses gettext would lead to failure due to, for instance, gettextln
not being found.

b3275838d9 pager: remove 'S' from $LESS by default
By default, Git used to set $LESS to -FRSX if $LESS was not set by
the user. The FRX flags actually make sense for Git (F and X because
sometimes the output Git pipes to less is short, and R because Git
pipes colored output). The S flag (chop long lines), on the other
hand, is not related to Git and is a matter of user preference. Git
should not decide for the user to change LESS's default.

More specifically, the S flag harms users who review untrusted code
within a pager, since a patch looking like:

    -old code;
    +new good code; [... lots of tabs ...] malicious code;

would appear identical to:

    -old code;
    +new good code;

Users who prefer the old behavior can still set the $LESS environment
variable to -FRSX explicitly, or set core.pager to 'less -S'.

The documentation in config.txt is made a bit longer to keep both an
example setting the 'S' flag (needed to recover the old behavior)
and an example showing how to unset a flag set by Git.

e54c1f2d25 pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:

	$ git diff
	^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
	^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m

"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default.  Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.

Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

11d62145b9 remove #!interpreter line from shell libraries
In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.

The harm:

 - When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
   the #! line are not used.  Specifying a particular shell can
   confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
   to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.

 - Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
   that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.

 - Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
   installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
   executable.  This check does not work if shell libraries also start
   with a #! line.

The good:

 - Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
   if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
   place.

The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix).  Replace the opening #! lines with comments.

This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).

Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian.  Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.

Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:

	find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
	while read file
	do
		read line <"$file"
		case $line in
		'#!'*)
			echo "$file"
			;;
		esac
	done

The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests
(t/t4034/perl/{pre,post}).

Some implementations of 'echo' (e.g. dash's built-in) interpret
backslash sequences in their arguments.

This triggered at least one bug: the error message of "rebase -i" was
turning \t in commit messages into actual tabulations. There may be
others.

Using "printf '%s\n'" instead avoids this bad behavior, and is the form
used by the "say" function.

c3e2d18996 setup_reflog_action: document the rules for using GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
The set_reflog_action helper (in git-sh-setup) is designed to be
used once at the very top of a program, like this in "git am", for
example:

	set_reflog_action am

The helper function sets the given string to GIT_REFLOG_ACTION only
when GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is not yet set.  Thanks to this, "git am",
when run as the top-level program, will use "am" in GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
and the reflog entries made by whatever it does will record the
updates of refs done by "am".

Because of the conditional assignment, when "git am" is run as a
subprogram (i.e. an implementation detail) of "git rebase" that
already sets GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to its own name, the call in "git am"
to the helper function at the beginning will *not* have any effect.

So "git rebase" can do this:

	set_reflog_action rebase
	... do its own preparation, like checking out "onto" commit
        ... decide to do "format-patch" to "am" pipeline
        	git format-patch --stdout >mbox
		git am mbox

and the reflog entries made inside "git am" invocation will say
"rebase", not "am".

Calls to "git" commands that update refs would use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
to record who did that update.  Most such calls in scripted Porcelains
do not define custom reflog message and rely on GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to
contain its (or its caller's, when it is called as a subprogram) name.

If a scripted Porcelain wants to record a custom reflog message for
a single invocation of "git" command (e.g. when "git rebase" uses
"git checkout" to detach HEAD at the commit a series is to be
replayed on), it needs to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to the custom
message and export it while calling the "git" command, but such an
assignment must be restricted to that single "git" invocation and
should not be left behind to affect later codepath.

Document the rules to avoid future confusion.

4549162e8d mergetools/p4merge: create a base if none available
Originally, with no base, Git gave P4Merge $LOCAL as a dummy base:

   p4merge "$LOCAL" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"

Commit 0a0ec7bd changed this to:

   p4merge "empty file" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"

to avoid the problem of being unable to save in some circumstances with
similar inputs.

Unfortunately this approach produces much worse results on differing
inputs. P4Merge really regards the blank file as the base, and once you
have just a couple of differences between the two branches you end up
with one a massive full-file conflict. The 3-way diff is not readable,
and you have to invoke "difftool MERGE_HEAD HEAD" manually to get a
useful view.

The original approach appears to have invoked special 2-way merge
behaviour in P4Merge that occurs only if the base filename is "" or
equal to the left input.  You get a good visual comparison, and it does
not auto-resolve differences. (Normally if one branch matched the base,
it would autoresolve to the other branch).

But there appears to be no way of getting this 2-way behaviour and being
able to reliably save. Having base==left appears to be triggering other
assumptions. There are tricks the user can use to force the save icon
on, but it's not intuitive.

So we now follow a suggestion given in the original patch's discussion:
generate a virtual base, consisting of the lines common to the two
branches. This is the same as the technique used in resolve and octopus
merges, so we relocate that code to a shared function.

Note that if there are no differences at the same location, this
technique can lead to automatic resolution without conflict, combining
everything from the 2 files.  As with the other merges using this
technique, we assume the user will inspect the result before saving.

With an unset IFS, field splitting is supposed to act as if IFS is

on FreeBSD 7.2 gets this wrong.

It is easy to set it to the default value manually, and it is also
safer in case somebody tries to save the old value away and restore,
e.g.

	$oIFS=$IFS
	IFS=something
	...
	IFS=$oIFS

while forgetting that the original IFS might be unset (which can be

2c733fb24c parse_date(): '@' prefix forces git-timestamp
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.

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.

e2eb527345 require-work-tree wants more than what its name says
Somebody tried "git pull" from a random place completely outside the work
tree, while exporting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE that are set to correct
places, e.g.

    GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME/git.git
    GIT_DIR=$GIT_WORK_TREE/.git
    export GIT_WORK_TREE GIT_DIR
    cd /tmp
    git pull

At the beginning of git-pull, we check "require-work-tree" and then
"cd-to-toplevel".  I _think_ the original intention when I wrote the
command was "we MUST have a work tree, our $(cwd) might not be at the
top-level directory of it", and no stronger than that.  That check is a
very sensible thing to do before doing cd-to-toplevel.  We check that the
place we would want to go exists, and then go there.

But the implementation of require_work_tree we have today is quite
different.  I don't have energy to dig the history, but currently it says:

    test "$(git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null)" = true ||
    die "fatal: $0 cannot be used without a working tree."

Which is completely bogus.  Even though we may happen to be just outside
of it right now, we may have a working tree that we can cd_to_toplevel
back to.

Add a function "require_work_tree_exists" that implements the check
this function originally intended (this is so that third-party scripts
that rely on the current behaviour do not have to get broken).

For now, update _no_ in-tree scripts, not even "git pull", as nobody on
the list seems to really care about the above corner case workflow that
triggered this. Scripts can be updated after vetting that they do want the
"we want to make sure the place we are going to go actually exists"
semantics.

92c62a3f4f Porcelain scripts: Rewrite cryptic "needs update" error message
Although Git interally has the facility to differentiate between
porcelain and plubmbing commands and appropriately print errors,
several shell scripts invoke plubming commands triggering cryptic
plumbing errors to be displayed on a porcelain interface. This patch
replaces the "needs update" message in git-pull and git-rebase, when
`git update-index` is run, with a more friendly message.

9facb3b05b get_author_ident_from_commit(): remove useless quoting
The command 's/'\''/'\''\'\'\''/g' only triples single quotes:

	$ echo "What's up?" | sed 's/'\''/'\''\'\'\''/g'
	What'''s up?

This doesn't hurt as compared to a single single quote it only adds an
empty string, but it makes the script needlessly complicated and hard to
understand.  The useful quoting is done by s/'\''/'\''\\'\'\''/g at the
beginning of the script and only once for all three variables.

ab62677b14 require_work_tree broken with NONGIT_OK
With NONGIT_OK set, require_work_tree function outside a git repository
gives a syntax error.  This is caused by an incorrect use of "test" that
didn't anticipate $(git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree) may return an
empty string.

Properly quote the argument to "test", and send the standard error stream
to /dev/null to avoid giving duplicate error messages.

f6dff119d5 am: Fix launching of pager
The pagination functionality in git am has some problems:

 - It does not check if stdout is a tty, so it always paginates.

 - If $GIT_PAGER uses any environment variables, they are being
   ignored, since it does not run $GIT_PAGER through eval.

 - If $GIT_PAGER is set to the empty string, instead of passing
   output through to stdout, it tries to run $dotest/patch.

Fix them.  While at it, move the definition of git_pager() to
git-sh-setup so authors of other commands are not tempted to
reimplement it with the same mistakes.

46bac90458 Do not install shell libraries executable
Some scripts are expected to be sourced instead of executed on their own.
Avoid some confusion by not marking them executable.

The executable bit was confusing the valgrind support of our test scripts,
which assumed that any executable without a #!-line should be intercepted
and run through valgrind.  So during valgrind-enabled tests, any script
sourcing these files actually sourced the valgrind interception script
instead.
