git-p4 is designed to run correctly under python2.7 and python3, but
its functional behavior wrt importing user-entered text differs across
these environments:
Under python2, git-p4 "naively" writes the Perforce bytestream into git
metadata (and does not set an "encoding" header on the commits); this
means that any non-utf-8 byte sequences end up creating invalidly-encoded
commit metadata in git.
Under python3, git-p4 attempts to decode the Perforce bytestream as utf-8
data, and fails badly (with an unhelpful error) when non-utf-8 data is
encountered.
Perforce clients (especially p4v) encourage user entry of changelist
descriptions (and user full names) in OS-local encoding, and store the
resulting bytestream to the server unmodified - such that different
clients can end up creating mutually-unintelligible messages. The most
common inconsistency, in many Perforce environments, is likely to be utf-8
(typical in linux) vs cp-1252 (typical in windows).
Make the changelist-description- and user-fullname-handling code
python-runtime-agnostic, introducing three "strategies" selectable via
config:
- 'passthrough', behaving as previously under python2,
- 'strict', behaving as previously under python3, and
- 'fallback', favoring utf-8 but supporting a secondary encoding when
utf-8 decoding fails, and finally escaping high-range bytes if the
decoding with the secondary encoding also fails.
Keep the python2 default behavior as-is ('legacy' strategy), but switch
the python3 default strategy to 'fallback' with default fallback encoding
'cp1252'.
Also include tests exercising these encoding strategies, documentation for
the new config, and improve the user-facing error messages when decoding
does fail.

13092a91 (cocci: refactor common patterns to use xstrdup_or_null(),
2016-10-12) introduced a rule to rewrite this conditional call to
xstrdup(E) and an assignment to variable V:
- if (E)
- V = xstrdup(E);
into an unconditional call to xstrdup_or_null(E) and an assignment
to variable V:
+ V = xstrdup_or_null(E);
which is utterly bogus. The original code may already have an
acceptable value in V and the conditional assignment may be to
improve the value already in V with a copy of a better value E when
(and only when) E is not NULL.
The rewritten construct unconditionally discards the existing value
of V and replaces it with a copy of E, even when E is NULL, which
changes the meaning of the program.
By the way, if it were
-if (E && !V)
- V = xstrdup(E);
+V = xstrdup_or_null(E);
it would probably have been correct. But there is no existing code
that would have been improved by such a rule, so let's just remove
the bogus one without replacing with the more specific one.

The remote_name variable is first assigned a copy of the value of
the "clone.defaultremotename" configuration variable and then by the
value of the "--origin" command line option. The former is prepared
to see multiple instances of the configuration variable by freeing
the current value of the variable before a copy of the newly
discovered value gets assigned to it. The latter however blindly
assigned a copy of the new value to the variable, thereby leaking
the value read from the configuration variable.

This only surfaced as a regression after 2.36 release, but the
breakage was already there with us for at least a year.
e900d494 (diff: add an API for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11)
introduced a mechanism to delay freeing resources held in
diff_options struct that need to be kept as long as the struct will
be reused to compute diff. "git log -p" was taught to utilize the
mechanism but it was done with an incorrect assumption that the
underlying helper function, cmd_log_walk(), is called only once,
and it is OK to do the freeing at the end of it.
Alas, for "git show A B", the function is called once for each
commit given, so it is not OK to free the resources until we finish
calling it for all the commits given from the command line.
During 2.36 release cycle, we started clearing the <pathspec> as
part of this freeing, which made the bug a lot more visible.
Fix this breakage by tweaking how cmd_log_walk() frees the resources
at the end and using a variant of it that does not immediately free
the resources to show each commit object from the command line in
"git show".
Protect the fix with a few new tests.

In some "simple" centralized workflows, users expect remote tracking
branch names to match local branch names. "git push" pushes to the
remote version/instance of the branch, and "git pull" pulls any changes
to the remote branch (changes made by the same user in another place, or
by other users).
This expectation is supported by the push.default default option "simple"
which refuses a default push for a mismatching tracking branch name, and
by the new branch.autosetupmerge option, "simple", which only sets up
remote tracking for same-name remote branches.
When a new branch has been created by the user and has not yet been
pushed (and push.default is not set to "current"), the user is prompted
with a "The current branch %s has no upstream branch" error, and
instructions on how to push and add tracking.
This error is helpful in that following the advice once per branch
"resolves" the issue for that branch forever, but inconvenient in that
for the "simple" centralized workflow, this is always the right thing to
do, so it would be better to just do it.
Support this workflow with a new config setting, push.autoSetupRemote,
which will cause a default push, when there is no remote tracking branch
configured, to push to the same-name on the remote and --set-upstream.
Also add a hint offering this new option when the "The current branch %s
has no upstream branch" error is encountered, and add corresponding tests.

With "push.default=current" configured, a simple "git push" will push to
the same-name branch on the current branch's branch.<name>.pushRemote, or
remote.pushDefault, or origin. If none of these are defined, the push will
fail with error "fatal: No configured push destination".
The same "default to origin if no config" behavior applies with
"push.default=matching".
Other commands use "origin" as a default when there are multiple options,
but default to the single remote when there is only one - for example,
"git checkout <something>". This "assume the single remote if there is
only one" behavior is more friendly/useful than a defaulting behavior
that only uses the name "origin" no matter what.
Update "git push" to also default to the single remote (and finally fall
back to "origin" as default if there are several), for
"push.default=current" and for other current and future remote-defaulting
push behaviors.
This change also modifies the behavior of ls-remote in a consistent way,
so defaulting not only supplies 'origin', but any single configured remote
also.

tests, and add test cases reflecting this new single-remote-defaulting
behavior.

With the default push.default option, "simple", beginners are
protected from accidentally pushing to the "wrong" branch in
centralized workflows: if the remote tracking branch they would push
to does not have the same name as the local branch, and they try to do
a "default push", they get an error and explanation with options.
There is a particular centralized workflow where this often happens:
a user branches to a new local topic branch from an existing
remote branch, eg with "checkout -b feature1 origin/master". With
the default branch.autosetupmerge configuration (value "true"), git
will automatically add origin/master as the upstream tracking branch.
When the user pushes with a default "git push", with the intention of
pushing their (new) topic branch to the remote, they get an error, and
(amongst other things) a suggestion to run "git push origin HEAD".
If they follow this suggestion the push succeeds, but on subsequent
default pushes they continue to get an error - so eventually they
figure out to add "-u" to change the tracking branch, or they spelunk
the push.default config doc as proposed and set it to "current", or
some GUI tooling does one or the other of these things for them.
When one of their coworkers later works on the same topic branch,
they don't get any of that "weirdness". They just "git checkout
feature1" and everything works exactly as they expect, with the shared
remote branch set up as remote tracking branch, and push and pull
working out of the box.
The "stable state" for this way of working is that local branches have
the same-name remote tracking branch (origin/feature1 in this
example), and multiple people can work on that remote feature branch
at the same time, trusting "git pull" to merge or rebase as required
for them to be able to push their interim changes to that same feature
branch on that same remote.
(merging from the upstream "master" branch, and merging back to it,
are separate more involved processes in this flow).
There is a problem in this flow/way of working, however, which is that
the first user, when they first branched from origin/master, ended up
with the "wrong" remote tracking branch (different from the stable
state). For a while, before they pushed (and maybe longer, if they
don't use -u/--set-upstream), their "git pull" wasn't getting other
users' changes to the feature branch - it was getting any changes from
the remote "master" branch instead (a completely different class of
changes!)
An experienced git user might say "well yeah, that's what it means to
have the remote tracking branch set to origin/master!" - but the
original user above didn't *ask* to have the remote master branch
added as remote tracking branch - that just happened automatically
when they branched their feature branch. They didn't necessarily even
notice or understand the meaning of the "set up to track 'origin/master'"
message when they created the branch - especially if they are using a
GUI.
Looking at how to fix this, you might think "OK, so disable auto setup
of remote tracking - set branch.autosetupmerge to false" - but that
will inconvenience the *second* user in this story - the one who just
wanted to start working on the topic branch. The first and second
users swap roles at different points in time of course - they should
both have a sane configuration that does the right thing in both
situations.
Make this "branches have the same name locally as on the remote"
workflow less painful / more obvious by introducing a new
branch.autosetupmerge option called "simple", to match the same-name
"push.default" option that makes similar assumptions.
This new option automatically sets up tracking in a *subset* of the
current default situations: when the original ref is a remote tracking
branch *and* has the same branch name on the remote (as the new local
branch name).
Update the error displayed when the 'push.default=simple' configuration
rejects a mismatching-upstream-name default push, to offer this new
branch.autosetupmerge option that will prevent this class of error.
With this new configuration, in the example situation above, the first
user does *not* get origin/master set up as the tracking branch for
the new local branch. If they "git pull" in their new local-only
branch, they get an error explaining there is no upstream branch -
which makes sense and is helpful. If they "git push", they get an
error explaining how to push *and* suggesting they specify
--set-upstream - which is exactly the right thing to do for them.
This new option is likely not appropriate for users intentionally
implementing a "triangular workflow" with a shared upstream tracking
branch, that they "git pull" in and a "private" feature branch that
they push/force-push to just for remote safe-keeping until they are
ready to push up to the shared branch explicitly/separately. Such
users are likely to prefer keeping the current default
merge.autosetupmerge=true behavior, and change their push.default to
"current".
Also extend the existing branch tests with three new cases testing
this option - the obvious matching-name and non-matching-name cases,
and also a non-matching-ref-type case. The matching-name case needs to
temporarily create an independent repo to fetch from, as the general
strategy of using the local repo as the remote in these tests
precludes locally branching with the same name as in the "remote".

Since 8959555cee (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the
top-level directory, 2022-03-02) when git finds itself in a repository
owned by someone else, it aborts with a "fatal: unsafe repository
(<repo path>)" error message and an advice about how to set the
'safe.directory' config variable to mark that repository as safe.
't0033-safe-directory.sh' contains tests that check that this feature
and handling said config work as intended. To ensure that git dies
for the right reason, several of those tests check that its standard
error contains the name of that config variable, but:
- it only appears in the advice part, not in the actual error
message.
- it is interpreted as a regexp by 'grep', so, because of the dot,
it matches the name of the test script and the path of the trash
directory as well. Consequently, these tests could be fooled by
any error message that would happen to include the path of the
test repository.

When running 'git show :<path>' where '<path>' is a directory, then
there is a subtle difference between a full checkout and a sparse
checkout. The error message from diagnose_invalid_index_path() reports
whether the path is on disk or not. The full checkout will have the
directory on disk, but the path will not be in the index. The sparse
checkout could have the directory not exist, specifically when that
directory is outside of the sparse-checkout cone.
In the case of a sparse index, we have yet another state: the path can
be a sparse directory in the index. In this case, the error message from
diagnose_invalid_index_path() would erroneously say "path '<path>' is in
the index, but not at stage 0", which is false.
Add special casing around sparse directory entries so we get to the
correct error message. This requires two checks in order to get parity

The get_oid_with_context_1() method is used when parsing revision
arguments. One particular case is to take a ":<path>" string and search
the index for the given path.
In the case of a sparse index, this might find a sparse directory entry,
in which case the contained object is a tree. In the case of a full
index, this search within the index would fail.
In order to maintain identical return state as in a full index, inspect
the discovered cache entry to see if it is a sparse directory and reject
it. This requires being careful around the only_to_die option to be sure
we die only at the correct time.
This changes the behavior of 'git show :<sparse-dir>', but does not
bring it entirely into alignment with a full index case. It specifically
hits the wrong error message within diagnose_invalid_index_path(). That
error message will be corrected in a future change.

The 'git show' command can take an input to request the state of an
object in the index. This can lead to parsing the index in order to load
a specific file entry. Without the change presented here, a sparse index
would expand to a full one, taking much longer than usual to access a
simple file.
There is one behavioral change that happens here, though: we now can
find a sparse directory entry within the index! Commands that previously
failed because we could not find an entry in the worktree or index now
succeed because we _do_ find an entry in the index.
There might be more work to do to make other situations succeed when
looking for an indexed tree, perhaps by looking at or updating the
cache-tree extension as needed. These situations include having a full
index or asking for a directory that is within the sparse-checkout cone
(and hence is not a sparse directory entry in the index).
For now, we demonstrate how the sparse index integration is extremely
simple for files outside of the cone as well as directories within the
cone. A later change will resolve this behavior around sparse
directories.

This only surfaced as a regression after 2.36 release, but the
breakage was already there with us for at least a year.
The diff_free() call is to be used after we completely finished with
a diffopt structure. After "git diff A B" finishes producing
output, calling it before process exit is fine. But there are
commands that prepares diff_options struct once, compares two sets
of paths, releases resources that were used to do the comparison,
then reuses the same diff_option struct to go on to compare the next
two sets of paths, like "git log -p".
After "git log -p" finishes showing a single commit, calling it
before it goes on to the next commit is NOT fine. There is a
mechanism, the .no_free member in diff_options struct, to help "git
log" to avoid calling diff_free() after showing each commit and
instead call it just one. When the mechanism was introduced in
e900d494 (diff: add an API for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11),
however, we forgot to do the same to "diff-tree --stdin", which *is*
a moral equivalent to "git log".
During 2.36 release cycle, we started clearing the pathspec in
diff_free(), so programs like gitk that runs
git diff-tree --stdin -- <pathspec>
downstream of a pipe, processing one commit after another, started
showing irrelevant comparison outside the given <pathspec> from the
second commit. The same commit, by forgetting to teach the .no_free
mechanism, broke "diff-tree --stdin -I<regexp>" and nobody noticed
it for over a year, presumably because it is so seldom used an
option.
But <pathspec> is a different story. The breakage was very
prominently visible and was reported immediately after 2.36 was
released.
Fix this breakage by mimicking how "git log" utilizes the .no_free
member so that "diff-tree --stdin" behaves more similarly to "log".
Protect the fix with a few new tests.

The --object-dir argument to 'git multi-pack-index' allows a user to
specify an alternate to use instead of the local $GITDIR. This is used
by third-party tools like VFS for Git to maintain the pack-files in a
"shared object cache" used by multiple clones.
On Windows, the user can specify a path using a Windows-style file path
with backslashes such as "C:\Path\To\ObjectDir". This same path style is
used in the .git/objects/info/alternates file, so it already matches the
path of that alternate. However, find_odb() converts these paths to
real-paths for the comparison, which use forward slashes. As of the
previous change, lookup_multi_pack_index() uses real-paths, so it
correctly finds the target multi-pack-index when given these paths.
Some commands such as 'git multi-pack-index repack' call child processes
using the object_dir value, so it can be helpful to convert the path to
the real-path before sending it to those locations.
Add a callback to convert the real path immediately upon parsing the
argument. We need to be careful that we don't store the exact value out
of get_object_directory() and free it, or we could corrupt a later use
of the_repository->objects->odb->path.
We don't use get_object_directory() for the initial instantiation in
cmd_multi_pack_index() because we need 'git multi-pack-index -h' to work

However, find_odb() uses real-path manipulations to compare the input to

There are two approaches to consider here. One would be to remove this
BUG() statement in favor of returning with an error. There are only two
callers to ref_transaction_create(), so this would have a limited
impact.
The other approach would be to add special casing in 'git clone' to
avoid this faulty input to the method.
While I originally started with changing 'git clone', I decided that
modifying ref_transaction_create() was a more complete solution. This
prevents failing with a BUG() statement when we already have a good way
to report an error (including a reason for that error) within the
method. Both callers properly check the return value and die() with the
error message, so this is an appropriate direction.
The added test helps check against a regression, but does check that our
intended error message is handled correctly.

This reverts commit 2d53975488.
3656f84278 (name-rev: prefer shorter names over following merges,
2021-12-04) broke the assumption of 2d53975488 (name-rev: release unused
name strings, 2020-02-04) that a better name for a child is a better
name for all of its ancestors as well, because it added a penalty for
generation > 0. This leads to strings being free(3)'d that are still
needed.
079f970971 (name-rev: sort tip names before applying, 2020-02-05)
already reduced the number of free(3) calls for the use case that
motivated the original patch (name-rev --all in the Chromium repository)
from ca. 44000 to 5, and 3656f84278 eliminated even those few. So this
revert won't affect name-rev's performance on that particular repo.

The "--since=<time>" option of "git log" limits the commits displayed by
the command by stopping the traversal once it sees a commit whose
timestamp is older than the given time and not digging further into its
parents.
This is OK in a history where a commit always has a newer timestamp than
any of its parents'. Once you see a commit older than the given <time>,
all ancestor commits of it are even older than the time anyway. It
poses, however, a problem when there is a commit with a wrong timestamp
that makes it appear older than its parents. Stopping traversal at the
"incorrectly old" commit will hide its ancestors that are newer than
that wrong commit and are newer than the cut-off time given with the
--since option. --max-age and --after being the synonyms to --since,
they share the same issue.
Add a new "--since-as-filter" option that is a variant of
"--since=<time>". Instead of stopping the traversal to hide an old
enough commit and its all ancestors, exclude commits with an old
timestamp from the output but still keep digging the history.
Without other traversal stopping options, this will force the command in
"git log" family to dig down the history to the root. It may be an
acceptable cost for a small project with short history and many commits
with screwy timestamps.
It is quite unlikely for us to add traversal stopper other than since,
so have this as a --since-as-filter option, rather than a separate
--as-filter, that would be probably more confusing.

Fix a regression in 707d2f2fe8 (CI: use "$runs_on_pool", not
"$jobname" to select packages & config, 2021-11-23).
In that commit I changed CC=gcc from CC=gcc-9, but on OSX the "gcc" in
$PATH points to clang, we need to use gcc-9 instead. Likewise for the
linux-gcc job CC=gcc-8 was changed to the implicit CC=gcc, which would
select GCC 9.4.0 instead of GCC 8.4.0.
Furthermore in 25715419bf (CI: don't run "make test" twice in one
job, 2021-11-23) when the "linux-TEST-vars" job was split off from
"linux-gcc" the "cc_package: gcc-8" line was copied along with
it, so its "cc_package" line wasn't working as intended either.
As a table, this is what's changed by this commit, i.e. it only
affects the linux-gcc, linux-TEST-vars and osx-gcc jobs:
|-------------------+-----------+-------------------+-------+-------|
| jobname | vector.cc | vector.cc_package | old | new |
|-------------------+-----------+-------------------+-------+-------|
| linux-clang | clang | - | clang | clang |
| linux-sha256 | clang | - | clang | clang |
| linux-gcc | gcc | gcc-8 | gcc | gcc-8 |
| osx-clang | clang | - | clang | clang |
| osx-gcc | gcc | gcc-9 | clang | gcc-9 |
| linux-gcc-default | gcc | - | gcc | gcc |
| linux-TEST-vars | gcc | gcc-8 | gcc | gcc-8 |
|-------------------+-----------+-------------------+-------+-------|

While we have no current plans to actually remove --no-cone mode, we
think users would be better off not using it. Update the documentation
accordingly, including explaining why we think non-cone mode is
problematic for users.

The "Internals -- Cone Pattern Set" section starts off discussing
patterns, despite the fact that cone mode is about avoiding the
patterns. This made sense back when non-cone mode was the default and
we started by discussing the full pattern set, but now that we are
changing the default, it makes more sense to discuss cone-mode first and
avoid the full discussion of patterns. Split this section into two, the
first with details about how cone mode operates, and the second
following the full pattern set section and discussing how the cone mode
patterns used under the hood relate to the full pattern set.
While at it, flesh out the "Internals -- Full Pattern Set" section a bit
to include more examples as well.
