Change all the "TRANSLATORS: [...]" comments in the C code to use the
regular Git coding style, and amend the style guide so that the
example there uses that style.
This custom style was necessary back in 2010 when the gettext support
was initially added, and was subsequently documented in commit
cbcfd4e3ea ("i18n: mention "TRANSLATORS:" marker in
Documentation/CodingGuidelines", 2014-04-18).
GNU xgettext hasn't had the parsing limitation that necessitated this
exception for almost 3 years. Since its 0.19 release on 2014-06-02
it's been able to recognize TRANSLATOR comments in the standard Git
comment syntax[1].
Usually we'd like to keep compatibility with software that's that
young, but in this case literally the only person who needs to be
using a gettext newer than 3 years old is Jiang Xin (the only person
who runs & commits "make pot" results), so I think in this case we can
make an exception.
This xgettext parsing feature was added after a thread on the Git
mailing list[2] which continued on the bug-gettext[3] list, but we
never subsequently changed our style & styleguide, do so.
There are already longstanding changes in git that use the standard
comment style & have their TRANSLATORS comments extracted properly
without getting the literal "*"'s mixed up in the text, as would
happen before xgettext 0.19.
Commit 7ff2683253 ("builtin-am: implement -i/--interactive",
2015-08-04) added one such comment, which in commit df0617bfa7 ("l10n:
git.pot: v2.6.0 round 1 (123 new, 41 removed)", 2015-09-05) got picked
up in the po/git.pot file with the right format, showing that Jiang
already runs a modern xgettext.
The xgettext parser does not handle the sort of non-standard comment
style that I'm amending here in sequencer.c, but that isn't standard
Git comment syntax anyway. With this change to sequencer.c & "make
pot" the comment in the pot file is now correct:
#. TRANSLATORS: %s will be "revert", "cherry-pick" or
-#. * "rebase -i".
+#. "rebase -i".

On Windows, the remote repository name in, e.g., `git fetch foo\bar`
is clearly not a nickname for a configured remote repository. However,
the function valid_remote_nick() does not account for backslashes.
Use is_dir_sep() to check for both slashes and backslashes on Windows.
This was discovered while playing with Duy's patches that warn after
fopen() failures. The functions that read the branches and remotes
files are protected by a valid_remote_nick() check. Without this
change, a Windows style absolute path is incorrectly regarded as
nickname and is concatenated to a prefix and used with fopen(). This
triggers warnings because a colon in a path name is not allowed:
C:\Temp\gittest>git fetch C:\Temp\gittest
warning: unable to access '.git/remotes/C:\Temp\gittest': Invalid argument
warning: unable to access '.git/branches/C:\Temp\gittest': Invalid argument

When peeling a tag for prepare_revision_walk(), we do not
respect the ignore_missing_links flag. This can lead to a
bogus error when pack-objects walks the possibly-broken
unreachable-but-recent part of the object graph.
The other link-following all happens via traverse_commit_list(),
which explains why this case was missed. And our tests
covered only broken links from commits. Let's be more
comprehensive and cover broken tree entries (which do work)
and tags (which shows off this bug).

The shell version of rebase -i silences the status output from 'git
stash apply' when restoring the autostashed changes. The C version
does not.
Having the output from git stash apply on the screen is
distracting as it makes it difficult to find the message from git
rebase saying that the rebase succeeded. Also the status information
that git stash prints talks about looking in .git/rebase-merge/done to
see which commits have been applied. As .git/rebase-merge is removed
shortly after the message is printed before rebase -i exits this is
confusing.

If the user asks to display (or sort by) the %(HEAD) atom,
ref-filter has to compare each refname to the value of HEAD.
We do so by resolving HEAD fresh when calling populate_value()
on each ref. If there are a large number of refs, this can
have a measurable impact on runtime.
Instead, let's resolve HEAD once when we realize we need the
%(HEAD) atom, allowing us to do a simple string comparison
for each ref. On a repository with 3000 branches (high, but
an actual example found in the wild) this drops the
best-of-five time to run "git branch >/dev/null" from 59ms
to 48ms (~20% savings).

If a commit message is edited with the "verbose" option, the buffer
will have a cut line and diff after the log message, like so:
my subject
# ------------------------ >8 ------------------------
# Do not touch the line above.
# Everything below will be removed.
diff --git a/foo.txt b/foo.txt
index 5716ca5..7601807 100644
--- a/foo.txt
+++ b/foo.txt
@@ -1 +1 @@
-bar
+baz
"git interpret-trailers" is unaware of the cut line, and assumes the
trailer block would be at the end of the whole thing. This can easily
be seen with:
$ GIT_EDITOR='git interpret-trailers --in-place --trailer Acked-by:me' \
git commit --amend -v
Teach "git interpret-trailers" to notice the cut-line and ignore the
remainder of the input when looking for a place to add new trailer
block. This makes it consistent with how "git commit -v -s" inserts a
new Signed-off-by: line.
This can be done by the same logic as the existing helper function,
wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line(), uses, but it wants the caller
to pass a strbuf to it. Because the function ignore_non_trailer() used
by the command takes a <pointer, length> pair, not a strbuf, steal the
logic from wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line() to create a new
wt_status_locate_end() helper function that takes <pointer, length>
pair, and make ignore_non_trailer() call it to help "interpret-trailers".
Since there is only one caller of wt_status_truncate_message_at_cut_line()
in cmd_commit(), rewrite it to call wt_status_locate_end() helper instead
and remove the old helper that no longer has any caller.

One test in t5400 examines the packet exchange between git-push and
git-receive-pack. The latter inherits the GIT_TRACE_PACKET environment
variable, so that both processes dump trace data into the same file
concurrently. This should not be a problem because the trace file is
opened with O_APPEND.
On Windows, however, O_APPEND is not atomic as it should be: it is
emulated as lseek(SEEK_END) followed by write(). For this reason, the
test is unreliable: it can happen that one process overwrites a line
that was just written by the other process. As a consequence, the test
sometimes does not find one or another line that is expected (and it is
also successful occasionally).
The test case is actually only interested in the output of git-push.
To ensure that only git-push writes to the trace file, override the
receive-pack command such that it does not even open the trace file.

The recent change that introduced autodecorating of refs accidentally
broke the ability of users to set log.decorate = false to override it.
When the git_log_config was traversed a second time with an option other
than log.decorate, the decoration style would be set to the automatic
style, even if the user had already overridden it. Instead of setting
the option in config parsing, set it in init_log_defaults instead.
Add a test for this case. The actual additional config option doesn't
matter, but it needs to be something not already set in the

"git read-tree -m" requires a tree argument to name the tree to be

$ git read-tree -m
warning: read-tree: emptying the index with no arguments is
deprecated; use --empty
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
$ git read-tree -m --empty
fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees?
When lucky, that could produce an ah-hah moment for the user, but it's
more likely to irritate and distract them.
Instead, tell the user plainly that the tree argument is

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.
