521331cc9f struct nonmatching_ref_data: store a refname instead of a ref_entry
Now that we don't need a ref_entry to pass to
report_refname_conflict(), it is sufficient to store the refname of
the conflicting reference.

385e8af5a2 report_refname_conflict(): inline function
It wasn't pulling its weight. And we are about to need code similar to
this where no ref_entry is available and with more diverse error
messages. Rather than try to generalize the function, just inline it.

would have made entry_matches() even less useful.

9ef6eaa287 is_refname_available(): avoid shadowing "dir" variable
The function had a "dir" parameter that was shadowed by a local "dir"
variable within a code block. Use the former in place of the latter.
(This is consistent with "dir"'s use elsewhere in the function.)

433efcad9d t1404: new tests of ref D/F conflicts within transactions
Add some tests of reference D/F conflicts (by which I mean the fact
that references like "refs/foo" and "refs/foo/bar" are not allowed to
coexist) in the context of reference transactions.

The test of creating two conflicting references in the same
transaction fails, leaving the transaction half-completed. This will
be fixed later in this patch series.

Please note that the error messages emitted in the case of conflicts
are not very user-friendly. In particular, when the conflicts involve
loose references, then the errors are reported as

    error: there are still refs under 'refs/foo'
    fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/foo'.

or

    error: unable to resolve reference refs/foo/bar: Not a directory
    fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/foo/bar'.

This is because lock_ref_sha1_basic() fails while trying to lock the
new reference, before it even gets to the is_refname_available()
check. This situation will also be improved later in this patch
series.

7886cfa080 bundle: verify arguments more strictly
The `verify` and `create` subcommands of the bundle builtin do
not properly verify the command line arguments that have been
passed in. While the `verify` subcommand accepts an arbitrary
amount of ignored arguments the `create` subcommand does not
complain about being passed too few arguments, resulting in a
bogus call to `git rev-list`. Fix these errors by verifying that
the correct amount of arguments has been passed in.

ea19289bc8 path.c: implement xdg_config_home()
The XDG base dir spec[1] specifies that configuration files be stored in
a subdirectory in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. To construct such a configuration
file path, home_config_paths() can be used. However, home_config_paths()
combines distinct functionality:

1. Retrieve the home git config file path ~/.gitconfig

2. Construct the XDG config path of the file specified by `file`.

This function was introduced in commit 21cf3227 ("read (but not write)
from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file").  While the intention of the
function was to allow the home directory configuration file path and the
xdg directory configuration file path to be retrieved with one function
call, the hard-coding of the path ~/.gitconfig prevents it from being
used for other configuration files. Furthermore, retrieving a file path
relative to the user's home directory can be done with
expand_user_path(). Hence, it can be seen that home_config_paths()
introduces unnecessary complexity, especially if a user just wants to
retrieve the xdg config file path.

As such, implement a simpler function xdg_config_home() for constructing
the XDG base dir spec configuration file path. This function, together
with expand_user_path(), can replace all uses of home_config_paths().

1427a7ff70 write_sha1_file(): do not use a separate sha1[] array
In the beginning, write_sha1_file() did not have a way to tell the
caller the name of the object it wrote to the caller.  This was
changed in d6d3f9d0 (This implements the new "recursive tree"
write-tree., 2005-04-09) by adding the "returnsha1" parameter to the
function so that the callers who are interested in the value can
optionally pass a pointer to receive it.

It turns out that all callers do want to know the name of the object
it just has written.  Nobody passes a NULL to this parameter, hence
it is not necessary to use a separate sha1[] array to receive the
result from  write_sha1_file_prepare(), and copy the result to the
returnsha1 supplied by the caller.

"hash-object" learned in 5ba9a93 (hash-object: add --literally
option, 2014-09-11) to allow crafting a corrupt/broken object of

When the user-provided type is particularly long, however, it can
overflow the relatively small stack-based character array handed to
write_sha1_file_prepare() by hash_sha1_file() and write_sha1_file(),
leading to stack corruption (and crash).  Introduce a custom helper
to allow arbitrarily long typenames just for "hash-object --literally".

I rewrote it to avoid penalizing the non-literally code. Bugs are mine]

4bf256d67a blame: CRLF in the working tree and LF in the repo
A typical setup under Windows is to set core.eol to CRLF, and text
files are marked as "text" in .gitattributes, or core.autocrlf is
set to true.

After 4d4813a5 "git blame" no longer works as expected for such a
set-up.  Every line is annotated as "Not Committed Yet", even though
the working directory is clean.  This is because the commit removed
the conversion in blame.c for all files, with or without CRLF in the
repo.

Having files with CRLF in the repo and core.autocrlf=input is a
temporary situation, and the files, if committed as is, will be
normalized in the repo, which _will_ be a notable change.  Blaming
them with "Not Committed Yet" is the right result.  Revert commit
4d4813a5 which was a misguided attempt to "solve" a non-problem.

Add two test cases in t8003 to verify the correct CRLF conversion.

df0620108b filter-branch: avoid passing commit message through sed
On some systems (like OS X), if sed encounters input without
a trailing newline, it will silently add it. As a result,
"git filter-branch" on such systems may silently rewrite
commit messages that omit a trailing newline. Even though
this is not something we generate ourselves with "git
commit", it's better for filter-branch to preserve the
original data as closely as possible.

We're using sed here only to strip the header fields from
the commit object. We can accomplish the same thing with a
shell loop. Since shell "read" calls are slow (usually one
syscall per byte), we use "cat" once we've skipped past the
header. Depending on the size of your commit messages, this
is probably faster (you pay the cost to fork, but then read
the data in saner-sized chunks). This idea is shamelessly
stolen from Junio.

8cbc57ca11 rebase -i: redo tasks that die during cherry-pick
When rebase--interactive processes a task, it removes the item from
the todo list and appends it to another list of executed tasks. If a
pick (this includes squash and fixup) fails before the index has
recorded the changes, take the corresponding item and put it on the todo
list again. Otherwise, the changes introduced by the scheduled commit
would be lost.

That kind of decision is possible since the cherry-pick command
signals why it failed to apply the changes of the given commit. Either
the changes are recorded in the index using a conflict (return value 1)
and rebase does not continue until they are resolved or the changes
are not recorded in the index (return value neither 0 nor 1) and
rebase has to try again with the same task.

Add a test cases for regression testing to the "rebase-interactive"
test suite.

baaf233755 connect: improve check for plink to reduce false positives
The git_connect function has code to handle plink and tortoiseplink
specially, as they require different command line arguments from
OpenSSH (-P instead of -p for ports; tortoiseplink additionally requires
-batch).  However, the match was done by checking for "plink" anywhere
in the string, which led to a GIT_SSH value containing "uplink" being
treated as an invocation of putty's plink.

Improve the check by looking for "plink" or "tortoiseplink" (or those
names suffixed with ".exe") only in the final component of the path.
This has the downside that a program such as "plink-0.63" would no
longer be recognized, but the increased robustness is likely worth it.
Add tests to cover these cases to avoid regressions.

d1018c2494 t5601: fix quotation error leading to skipped tests
One of the tests in t5601 used single quotes to delimit an argument
containing spaces.  However, this caused test_expect_success to be
passed three arguments instead of two, which in turn caused the test
name to be treated as a prerequisite instead of a test name.  As there
was no prerequisite called "bracketed hostnames are still ssh", the test
was always skipped.

Because this test was always skipped, the fact that it passed the
arguments in the wrong order was obscured.  Use double quotes inside the
test and reorder the arguments so that the test runs and properly
reflects the arguments that are passed to ssh.

22946a9426 rebase: silence "git checkout" for noop rebase
When the branch to be rebased is already up to date, we
"git checkout" the branch, print an "up to date" message,
and end the rebase early. However, our checkout may print
"Switched to branch 'foo'" or "Already on 'foo'", even if
the user has asked for "--quiet".

We should avoid printing these messages at all, "--quiet" or
no. Since the rebase is a noop, this checkout can be seen as
optimizing out these other two checkout operations (that
happen in a real rebase):

  1. Moving to the detached HEAD to start the rebase; we
     always feed "-q" to checkout there, and instead rely on
     our own custom message (which respects --quiet).

  2. Finishing a rebase, where we move to the final branch.
     Here we actually use update-ref rather than
     git-checkout, and produce no messages.

099d2d86a8 ignore: info/exclude should trump core.excludesfile
$GIT_DIR/info/exclude and core.excludesfile (which falls back to
$XDG_HOME/git/ignore) are both ways to override the ignore pattern
lists given by the project in .gitignore files.  The former, which
is per-repository personal preference, should take precedence over
the latter, which is a personal preference default across different
repositories that are accessed from that machine.  The existing
documentation also agrees.

However, the precedence order was screwed up between these two from
the very beginning when 896bdfa2 (add: Support specifying an
excludes file with a configuration variable, 2007-02-27) introduced
core.excludesfile variable.

a0b4507ef7 stop putting argv[0] dirname at front of PATH
When the "git" wrapper is invoked, we prepend the baked-in
exec-path to our PATH, so that any sub-processes we exec
will all find the git-foo commands that match the wrapper
version.

If you invoke git with an absolute path, like:

  /usr/bin/git foo

we also prepend "/usr/bin" to the PATH. This was added long
ago by by 231af83 (Teach the "git" command to handle some
commands internally, 2006-02-26), with the intent that
things would just work if you did something like:

  cd /opt
  tar xzf premade-git-package.tar.gz
  alias git=/opt/git/bin/git

as we would then find all of the related external commands
in /opt/git/bin. I.e., it made git runtime-relocatable,
since at the time of 231af83, we installed all of the git
commands into $(bindir). But these days, that is not enough.
Since f28ac70 (Move all dashed-form commands to libexecdir,
2007-11-28), we do not put commands into $(bindir), and you
actually need to convert "/usr/bin" into "/usr/libexec". And
not just for finding binaries; we want to find $(sharedir),
etc, the same way.  The RUNTIME_PREFIX build knob does this
the right way, by assuming a sane hierarchy rooted at
"$prefix" when we run "$prefix/bin/git", and inferring
"$prefix/libexec/git-core", etc.

So this feature (prepending the argv[0] dirname to the PATH)
is broken for providing a runtime prefix, and has been for
many years. Does it do anything for other cases?

For the "git" wrapper itself, as well as any commands
shipped by "git", the answer is no. Those are already in
git's exec-path, which is consulted first. For third-party
commands which you've dropped into the same directory, it
does include them. So if you do

  cd /opt
  tar xzf git-built-specifically-for-opt-git.tar.gz
  cp third-party/git-foo /opt/git/bin/git-foo
  alias git=/opt/git/bin/git

it does mean that we will find the third-party "git-foo",
even if you do not put /opt/git/bin into your $PATH. But
the flipside of this is that we will bump the precedence of
_other_ third-party tools that happen to be in the same
directory as git. For example, consider this setup:

  1. Git is installed by the system in /usr/bin. There are
     other system utilities in /usr/bin. E.g., a system
     "vi".

  2. The user installs tools they prefer in /usr/local/bin.
     E.g., vim with a "vi" symlink. They set their PATH to
     /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin to prefer their custom tools.

  3. Running /usr/bin/git puts "/usr/bin" at the front of
     their PATH. When git invokes the editor on behalf of
     the user, they get the system vi, not their normal vim.

There are other variants of this, including overriding
system ruby and python (which is quite common using tools
like "rvm" and "virtualenv", which use relocatable
hierarchies and $PATH settings to get a consistent
environment).

Given that the main motivation for git placing the argv[0]
dirname into the PATH has been broken for years, that the
remaining cases are obscure and unlikely (and easily fixed
by the user just setting up their $PATH sanely), and that
the behavior is hurting real, reasonably common use cases,
it's not worth continuing to do so.

ed178ef13a stash: require a clean index to apply
If you have staged contents in your index and run "stash
apply", we may hit a conflict and put new entries into the
index. Recovering to your original state is difficult at
that point, because tools like "git reset --keep" will blow
away anything staged.  We can make this safer by refusing to
apply when there are staged changes.

It's possible we could provide better tooling here, as "git
stash apply" should be writing only conflicts to the index
(so we know that any stage-0 entries are potentially
precious). But it is the odd duck; most "mergy" commands
will update the index for cleanly merged entries, and it is
not worth updating our tooling to support this use case
which is unlikely to be of interest (besides which, we would
still need to block a dirty index for "stash apply --index",
since that case _would_ be ambiguous).
