If the user provides "-h" on the command line, then our
parse_options() invocation will show a usage message and
quit. But if "-h" is the only argument, the git wrapper
behaves specially: it ignores our RUN_SETUP flag and calls
cmd_am() without having done repository setup at all. This
is due to 99caeed05 (Let 'git <command> -h' show usage
without a git dir, 2009-11-09).
Before cmd_am() calls parse_options(), though, it runs a few
other setup functions. One of these is am_state_init(),
which uses git_pathdup() to set up the default rebase-apply
path. But calling git_pathdup() when we haven't done
repository setup will fall back to using ".git". That's
mostly harmless (since we won't use the value anyway), but
is forbidden since b1ef400eec ("setup_git_env: avoid blind
fall-back to ".git"", 2016-10-20), and we now BUG().
We can't easily move that setup to after the parse_options()
call; the point is to set up defaults that are overwritten
by the option parsing. Instead, we'll detect the "-h" case
early and show the usage then. This matches the behavior of
other builtins which have a similar setup-ordering issue
(e.g., git-branch).

There has been a bug report by a corporate user that stated that
"spelling mistake of stash followed by a yes prints character 'y'
infinite times."
This analysis was false. When the spelling of a command contains
errors, the git program tries to help the user by providing candidates
which are close to the unexisting command. E.g Git prints the
following:
git: 'stahs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
Did you mean this?
stash
and then exits.
The problem with this hint is that it is not formally indicated as an
hint and the user is in fact encouraged to reply to the question,
whereas the Git command is already finished.
The user was unlucky enough that it was the command he was looking
for, and replied "yes" on the command line, effectively launching the
`yes` program.
The initial error is that the Git programs, when launched in
command-line mode (without interaction) must not ask questions,
because these questions would normally require a user input as a reply
that they won't handle indeed. That's a source of confusion on UX
level.
To improve the general usability of the Git suite, the following rule
was applied:
if the sentence
* appears in a non-interactive session
* is printed last before exit
* is a question addressing the user ("you")
the sentence is turned into affirmative and proposes the option.
The basic rewording of the question sentences has been extended to
other spots found in the source.

Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).
So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.
By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.
As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

The only caller of this function passes in a static buffer
returned from git_path(). This looks dangerous at first
glance, but turns out to be OK because the first thing we do
is xstrdup() the result.
Let's turn this into a git_pathdup(). That's slightly more
efficient (no extra copy), and makes it easier to audit for
dangerous git_path() invocations.
Since there's only a single caller, let's just set this
default path inside the init function. That makes the memory

Signoff is handled in parse_mail(), but not in parse_mail_rebasing(),

In order to introduce (in the upcoming commits) support for

in the rebase case. This can be done by moving the conditional

When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted
with 'git update-ref -m<msg> -d', the event is recorded in HEAD's log
with an empty message. In preparation for adding a more meaningful
message to HEAD's log in these cases, update delete_ref() to take a

Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no

Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted
ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref. Even if it
were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted
ref's log. files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if
REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update()
doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING

Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to
prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to
die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody
else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to
die upon failure.
This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile
API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to
LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update().
Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop
translating. Callers other than the ones that are replaced with

Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0:
- diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an
opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is
just before the program exits and nobody should care.
- builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(),
builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(),
sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic
updates and they are OK.
- builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront
but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the
entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to
issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock. We do diagnose
and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK.
- wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY. It asks
silence, does not check the returned value. Compare with
callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it
is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.

This replaces run_apply() implementation with a new one that
uses the apply API that has been previously prepared in
apply.c and apply.h.
This shoud improve performance a lot in certain cases.
As the previous implementation was creating a new `git apply`
process to apply each patch, it could be slow on systems like
Windows where it is costly to create new processes.
Also the new `git apply` process had to read the index from
disk, and when the process was done the calling process
discarded its own index and read back from disk the new
index that had been created by the `git apply` process.
This could be very inefficient with big repositories that
have big index files, especially when the system decided
that it was a good idea to run the `git apply` processes on
a different processor core.
Also eliminating index reads enables further performance
improvements by using:
`git update-index --split-index`

rebase on the Linux kernel on a Debian laptop with SSD:
command: git rebase --onto 1993b17 52bef0c 29dde7c

t5520: verify that `pull --rebase` shows the helpful advice when failing
Not-so-recent rewrite of "git am" that started making internal
calls into the commit machinery had an unintended regression, in
that no matter how many seconds it took to apply many patches, the
resulting committer timestamp for the resulting commits were all
the same.
* jk/reset-ident-time-per-commit:
am: reset cached ident date for each patch
When we compute the date to go in author/committer lines of
commits, or tagger lines of tags, we get the current date
once and then cache it for the rest of the program. This is
a good thing in some cases, like "git commit", because it
means we do not racily assign different times to the
author/committer fields of a single commit object.
But as more programs start to make many commits in a single
process (e.g., the recently builtin "git am"), it means that
you'll get long strings of commits with identical committer
timestamps (whereas before, we invoked "git commit" many
times and got true timestamps).
This patch addresses it by letting callers reset the cached
time, which means they'll get a fresh time on their next
call to git_committer_info() or git_author_info(). The first
caller to do so is "git am", which resets the time for each
patch it applies.
It would be nice if we could just do this automatically
before filling in the ident fields of commit and tag
objects. Unfortunately, it's hard to know where a particular
logical operation begins and ends.
For instance, if commit_tree_extended() were to call
reset_ident_date() before getting the committer/author
ident, that doesn't quite work; sometimes the author info is
passed in to us as a parameter, and it may or may not have
come from a previous call to ident_default_date(). So in
those cases, we lose the property that the committer and the
author timestamp always match.
You could similarly put a date-reset at the end of
commit_tree_extended(). That actually works in the current
code base, but it's fragile. It makes the assumption that
after commit_tree_extended() finishes, the caller has no
other operations that would logically want to fall into the
same timestamp.
So instead we provide the tool to easily do the reset, and
let the high-level callers use it to annotate their own
logical operations.
There's no automated test, because it would be inherently
racy (it depends on whether the program takes multiple
seconds to run). But you can see the effect with something
like:
# make a fake 100-patch series
top=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
bottom=$(git rev-list --first-parent -100 HEAD | tail -n 1)
git log --format=email --reverse --first-parent \
--binary -m -p $bottom..$top >patch

Last October, we had to change this code to run `git merge-recursive`
in a child process: git-am wants to print some helpful advice when the
merge failed, but the code in question was not prepared to return, it
die()d instead.
We are finally at a point when the code *is* prepared to return errors,
and can avoid the child process again.
This reverts commit c63d4b2 (am -3: do not let failed merge from
completing the error codepath, 2015-10-09), with the necessary changes
to adjust for the fact that Git's source code changed in the meantime
(such as: using OIDs instead of hashes in the recursive merge, and a
removed gender bias).
Note: the code now calls merge_recursive_generic() again. Unlike
merge_trees() and merge_recursive(), this function returns 0 upon success,
as most of Git's functions. Therefore, the error value -1 naturally is
handled correctly, and we do not have to take care of it specifically.

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
the system where outside stuff is usuall called "theirs" in
contrast to "ours".
* js/am-call-theirs-theirs-in-fallback-3way:
am: counteract gender bias
General code clean-up around a helper function to write a
single-liner to a file.
* jk/write-file:
branch: use write_file_buf instead of write_file
use write_file_buf where applicable
write_file: add format attribute
write_file: add pointer+len variant
write_file: use xopen
write_file: drop "gently" form
branch: use non-gentle write_file for branch description
am: ignore return value of write_file()
config: fix bogus fd check when setting up default config
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.

There are several places where we open a file, write some
content from a strbuf, and close it. These can be simplified
with write_file_buf(). As a bonus, many of these did not
catch write problems at close() time.

write_file() either returns 0 or dies, so there is no point in checking
its return value. The callers of the wrappers write_state_text(),
write_state_count() and write_state_bool() consequently already ignore
their return values. Stop pretending we care and make them void.

Combined with "git format-patch --pretty=mboxrd", this should
allow us to round-trip commit messages with embedded mbox
