One part of "git am" had an oddball helper function that called
stuff from outside "his" as opposed to calling what we have "ours",
which was not gender-neutral and also inconsistent with the rest of

Since 47f0b6d5 (Fall back to three-way merge when applying a patch.,
2005-10-06), i.e. for almost 11 years already, we used a male form
to describe "the other tree".
While it was unintended, this gave the erroneous impression as if
the Git developers thought of users as male, and were unaware of the
important role in software development played by female actors such
as Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper and Margaret Hamilton. In fact, the
first professional software developers were all female.
Let's change those unfortunate references to the gender neutral
"their tree". Doing so also makes the fallback_merge_recursive(),
which is an oddball, more in line with the other parts of the system
where we contrast what we have vs what we obtain from others by
saying "ours" vs "theirs". This inconsistency was also unintended.

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

Often we read "text" files that are supplied by the end user
(e.g. commit log message that was edited with $GIT_EDITOR upon 'git
commit -e'), and in some environments lines in a text file are
terminated with CRLF. Existing strbuf_getline() knows to read a
single line and then strip the terminating byte from the result, but
it is handy to have a version that is more tailored for a "text"
input that takes both '\n' and '\r\n' as line terminator (aka
<newline> in POSIX lingo) and returns the body of the line after
stripping <newline>.
Recently reimplemented "git am" uses such a function implemented
privately; move it to strbuf.[ch] and make it available for others.
Note that we do not blindly replace calls to strbuf_getline() that
uses LF as the line terminator with calls to strbuf_getline_crlf()
and this is very much deliberate. Some callers may want to treat an
incoming line that ends with CR (and terminated with LF) to have a
payload that includes the final CR, and such a blind replacement
will result in misconversion when done without code audit.

Recent "git am" had regression when adding a Signed-off-by line
with its "-s" option by an unintended tightening of how an existing

* jc/builtin-am-signoff-regression-fix:
am: match --signoff to the original scripted version
Linus noticed that the recently reimplemented "git am -s" defines
the trailer block too rigidly, resulting in an unnecessary blank
line between the existing sign-offs and his new sign-off. An e-mail
submission sent to Linus in real life ends with mixture of sign-offs
and commentaries, e.g.

[rv: tweaked frotz and nitfol]
Signed-off-by: Re Viewer <rv@ew.er>
Signed-off-by: Other Reviewer <other@rev.ewer>
---
patch here
Because the reimplementation reused append_signoff() helper that is
used by other codepaths, which is unaware that people intermix such
comments with their sign-offs in the trailer block, such a message
was judged to end with a non-trailer, resulting in an extra blank
line before adding a new sign-off.
The original scripted version of "git am" used a lot looser
definition, i.e. "if and only if there is no line that begins with
Signed-off-by:, add a blank line before adding a new sign-off". For
the upcoming release, stop using the append_signoff() in "git am"
and reimplement the looser definition used by the scripted version
to use only in "git am" to fix this regression in "am" while
avoiding new regressions to other users of append_signoff().
In the longer term, we should look into loosening append_signoff()
so that other codepaths that add a new sign-off behave the same way
as "git am -s", but that is a task for post-release.

There's a bug in builtin/am.c in which we take a lock on
MERGE_RR recursively. But rather than fix am.c, this patch
fixes the confusing interface from rerere.c that caused the
bug. Read on for the gory details.
The setup_rerere() function both reads the existing MERGE_RR
file, and takes MERGE_RR.lock. In the rerere() and
rerere_forget() functions, we end up in write_rr(), which
will then commit the lock file.
But for functions like rerere_clear() that do not write to
MERGE_RR, we expect the caller to have handled
setup_rerere(). That caller would then need to release the
lockfile, but it can't; the lock struct is local to
rerere.c.
For builtin/rerere.c, this is OK. We run a single rerere
operation and then exit immediately, which has the side
effect of rolling back the lockfile.
But in builtin/am.c, this is actively wrong. If we run "git
am -3 --skip", we call setup-rerere twice without releasing
the lock:
1. The "--skip" causes us to call am_rerere_clear(), which
calls setup_rerere(), but never drops the lock.
2. We then proceed to the next patch.
3. The "--3way" may cause us to call rerere() to handle
conflicts in that patch, but we are already holding the
lock. The lockfile code dies with:
BUG: prepare_tempfile_object called for active object
We could fix this by having rerere_clear() call
rollback_lock_file(). But it feels a bit odd for it to roll
back a lockfile that it did not itself take. So let's
simplify the interface further, and handle setup_rerere in
the function itself, taking away the question from the
caller over whether they need to do so.
We can give rerere_gc() the same treatment, as well (even
though it doesn't have any callers besides builtin/rerere.c
at this point). Note that these functions don't take flags
from their callers to pass along to setup_rerere; that's OK,
because the flags would not be meaningful for what they are
doing.
Both of those functions need to hold the lock because even
though they do not write to MERGE_RR, they are still writing
and should be protected from a simultaneous "rerere" run.
But rerere_remaining(), "rerere diff", and "rerere status"
are all read-only operations. They want to setup_rerere(),
but do not care about taking the lock in the first place.
Since our update of MERGE_RR is the usual atomic rename done
by commit_lock_file, they can just do a lockless read. For
that, we teach setup_rerere a READONLY flag to avoid the
lock.
As a bonus, this pushes builtin/rerere.c's setup_rerere call
closer to the functions that use it. Which means that "git
rerere totally-bogus-command" will no longer silently
exit(0) in a repository without rerere enabled.

lock_repo_for_gc(): compute the path to "gc.pid" only once

register_tempfile(): new function to handle an existing temporary file
tempfile: add several functions for creating temporary files
prepare_tempfile_object(): new function, extracted from create_tempfile()
tempfile: a new module for handling temporary files
commit_lock_file(): use get_locked_file_path()

lockfile: add accessors get_lock_file_fd() and get_lock_file_fp()
create_bundle(): duplicate file descriptor to avoid closing it twice
lockfile: move documentation to lockfile.h and lockfile.c
All existing callers to this function use it to produce a text file
or an empty file, and a new callsite that mimick them must end their
payload with a LF. If they forget to do so, the resulting file will
end with an incomplete line.
Teach write_file_v() to complete the incomplete line, if exists, so
that the callers do not have to.
With this, the caller-side fix in builtin/am.c becomes unnecessary.

There are many calls to write_file() that repeat the same pattern in
the implementation of the builtin version of "am". They all share
the same traits, i.e they
- produce a text file with a single string in it;
- have enough information to produce the entire contents of that
file;
- generate the pathname of the file by making a call to am_path(); and
- they ask write_file() to die() upon failure.
The slight differences among the call sites throw them into roughly
three categories:
- many write either "t" or "f" based on a boolean value to a file;
- some write the integer value in decimal text;
- some others write more general string, e.g. an object name in
hex, an empty string (i.e. the presense of the file itself serves
as a flag), etc.
Introduce three helpers, write_state_bool(), write_state_count() and
write_state_text(), to reduce direct calls to write_file().
This is a preparatory step for the next step to ensure that no
"state" file this command leaves in $GIT_DIR is with an incomplete
line at the end.

After running "git am --abort", and then running "git reset --hard",
files that were not modified would still be re-checked out.
This is because clean_index() in builtin/am.c mistakenly called the
read_tree() function, which overwrites all entries in the index,
including the stat info.
"git am --skip" did not seem to have this issue because am_skip() called
am_run(), which called refresh_cache() to update the stat info. However,
there's still a performance penalty as the lack of stat info meant that
refresh_cache() would have to scan all files for changes.
Fix this by using unpack_trees() instead to merge the tree into the
index, so that the stat info from the index is kept.

After resolving a conflicting patch, a user may wish to sign off the
patch to declare that the patch has been modified. As such, the user
will expect that running "git am --signoff --continue" will append the
signoff to the commit message.
However, the --signoff option is only taken into account during the
mail-parsing stage. If the --signoff option is set, then the signoff
will be appended to the commit message. Since the mail-parsing stage
comes before the patch application stage, the --signoff option, if
provided on the command-line when resuming, will have no effect at all.
We cannot move the append_signoff() call to the patch application stage
as the applypatch-msg hook and interactive mode, which run before patch
application, may expect the signoff to be there.
Fix this by taking note if the user explictly set the --signoff option

When resuming, git-am mistakenly ignores command-line options.
For instance, when a patch fails to apply with "git am patch",
subsequently running "git am --3way" would not cause git-am to fall
back on attempting a threeway merge. This occurs because by default
the --3way option is saved as "false", and the saved am options are
loaded after the command-line options are parsed, thus overwriting
the command-line options when resuming.
Fix this by moving the am_load() function call before parse_options(),
so that command-line options will override the saved am options.
The purpose of supporting this use case is to enable users to "wiggle"
that one conflicting patch. As such, it is expected that the
command-line options do not affect subsequent applied patches. Implement
this by calling am_load() once we apply the conflicting patch
successfully.
