bbb896d8e1 gitattributes: -crlf is not binary
The description of crlf attribute incorrectly said that "-crlf" means
binary.  It is true that for binary files you would want "-crlf", but
that is not the same thing.

We also have supported attribute macros and via that mechanism a handy
"binary" to specify "-crlf -diff" at the same time.  It was not documented
anywhere as far as I can tell, even though the support was there from
the very beginning.

ed0f47a8c4 git-apply: Loosen "match_beginning" logic
Even after a handfle attempts, match_beginning logic still has corner
cases:

    1bf1a85 (apply: treat EOF as proper context., 2006-05-23)
    65aadb9 (apply: force matching at the beginning., 2006-05-24)
    4be6096 (apply --unidiff-zero: loosen sanity checks ..., 2006-09-17)
    ee5a317 (Fix "git apply" to correctly enforce "match ..., 2008-04-06)

This is a tricky piece of code.

We still incorrectly enforce "match_beginning" for -U0 matches.
I noticed this while trying out an example sequence from Clemens Buchacher:

    $ echo a >victim
    $ git add victim
    $ echo b >>victim
    $ git diff -U0 >patch
    $ cat patch
    diff --git i/victim w/victim
    index 7898192..422c2b7 100644
    --- i/victim
    +++ w/victim
    @@ -1,0 +2 @@ a
    +b
    $ git apply --cached --unidiff-zero <patch
    $ git show :victim
    b
    a

The change inserts a new line before the second line, but we insist it to
be applied at the beginning.  As the result, the code refuses to apply it
at the original offset, and we end up adding the line at the beginning.

Updates to the test script are by Clemens Buchacher.

0cfeed2e1d make git-shell paranoid about closed stdin/stdout/stderr
It is in general unsafe to start a program with one or more of file
descriptors 0/1/2 closed.  Karl Chen for example noticed that stat_command
does this in order to rename a pipe file descriptor to 0:

    dup2(from, 0);
    close(from);

... but if stdin was closed (for example) from == 0, so that

    dup2(0, 0);
    close(0);

just ends up closing the pipe.  Another extremely rare but nasty problem
would occur if an "important" file ends up in file descriptor 2, and is
corrupted by a call to die().

Fixing this in git was considered to be overkill, so this patch works
around it only for git-shell.  The fix is simply to open all the "low"
descriptors to /dev/null in main.

441bca0bbc Fix '--dirstat' with cross-directory renaming
The dirstat code depends on the fact that we always generate diffs with
the names sorted, since it then just does a single-pass walk-over of the
sorted list of names and how many changes there were. The sorting means
that all files are nicely grouped by directory.

That all works fine.

Except when we have rename detection, and suddenly the nicely sorted list
of pathnames isn't all that sorted at all. And now the single-pass dirstat
walk gets all confused, and you can get results like this:

  [torvalds@nehalem linux]$ git diff --dirstat=2 -M v2.6.27-rc4..v2.6.27-rc5
     3.0% arch/powerpc/configs/
     6.8% arch/arm/configs/
     2.7% arch/powerpc/configs/
     4.2% arch/arm/configs/
     5.6% arch/powerpc/configs/
     8.4% arch/arm/configs/
     5.5% arch/powerpc/configs/
    23.3% arch/arm/configs/
     8.6% arch/powerpc/configs/
     4.0% arch/
     4.4% drivers/usb/musb/
     4.0% drivers/watchdog/
     7.6% drivers/
     3.5% fs/

The trivial fix is to add a sorting pass, fixing it to:

  [torvalds@nehalem linux]$ git diff --dirstat=2 -M v2.6.27-rc4..v2.6.27-rc5
    43.0% arch/arm/configs/
    25.5% arch/powerpc/configs/
     5.3% arch/
     4.4% drivers/usb/musb/
     4.0% drivers/watchdog/
     7.6% drivers/
     3.5% fs/

Spot the difference. In case anybody wonders: it's because of a ton of
renames from {include/asm-blackfin => arch/blackfin/include/asm} that just
totally messed up the file ordering in between arch/arm and arch/powerpc.

0c68d386da index-pack: be careful after fixing up the header/footer
The index-pack command, when processing a thin pack, fixed up the pack
after-the-fact.  It forgets to fsync the result, because it only did that
in one path rather in all cases of fixup.

This moves the fsync_or_die() to the fix-up routine itself, rather than
doing it in one of the callers, so that all cases are covered.

2b84373219 Suppress some bash redirection error messages
In particular, when testing if the filesystem allows tabs in
filenames, bash issues an error something like:

./t4016-diff-quote.sh: pathname	with HT: No such file or directory

which is caused by the failure of the (stdout) redirection,
since the file cannot be created. In order to suppress the
error message, you must redirect stderr to /dev/null, *before*
the stdout redirection on the command-line.

Also, remove a redundant filesystem check from the begining of
the t3902-quoted.sh test and standardise the "test skipped"
message to 'say' on exit.

3e073dc561 Makefile: always provide a fallback when hardlinks fail
We make hardlinks from "git" to "git-<cmd>" built-ins and have been
careful to avoid cross-device links when linking "git-<cmd>" to
gitexecdir.

However, we were not prepared to deal with a build directory that is
incapable of making hard links within itself. This patch corrects it.

Instead of temporarily linking "git" to gitexecdir, directly link "git-
add", falling back to "cp". Try hardlinking that as "git-<cmd>", falling
back to symlinks or "cp" on error.

While at it, avoid 100+ error messages from hardlink failures when we are
going to fall back to symlinks or "cp" by redirecting the standard error
to /dev/null.

0843acfd2c Fix "git log -i --grep"
This has been broken in v1.6.0 due to the reorganization of
the revision option parsing code. The "-i" is completely
ignored, but works fine in "git log --grep -i".

What happens is that the code for "-i" looks for
revs->grep_filter; if it is NULL, we do nothing, since there
are no grep filters. But that is obviously not correct,
since we want it to influence the later --grep option. Doing
it the other way around works, since "-i" just impacts the
existing grep_filter option.

Instead, we now always initialize the grep_filter member and
just fill in options and patterns as we get them. This means
that we can no longer check grep_filter for NULL, but
instead must check the pattern list to see if we have any
actual patterns.

446247db78 merge: fix numerus bugs around "trivial merge" area
The "trivial merge" codepath wants to optimize itself by making an
internal call to the read-tree machinery, but it does not read the index
before doing so, and the codepath is never exercised.  Incidentally, this
failure to read the index upfront means that the safety to refuse doing
anything when the index is unmerged does not kick in, either.

These two problem are fixed by using read_cache_unmerged() that does read
the index before checking if it is unmerged at the beginning of
cmd_merge().

The primary logic of the merge, however, assumes that the process never
reads the index in-core, and the call to write_cache_as_tree() it makes
from write_tree_trivial() will always read from the on-disk index that is
prepared the strategy back-ends.  This assumption is now broken by the
above fix.  To fix this issue, we now call discard_cache() before calling
write_tree_trivial() when it wants to write the on-disk index as a tree.

When multiple strategies are tried, their results are evaluated by reading
the resulting index and inspecting it.  The codepath needs to make a call
to read_cache() for each successful strategy, and for that to work, they
need to discard_cache() the one read by the previous round.

Also the "trivial merge" forgot that the current commit is one of the
parents of the resulting commit.

913e0e99b6 unpack_trees(): protect the handcrafted in-core index from read_cache()
unpack_trees() rebuilds the in-core index from scratch by allocating a new
structure and finishing it off by copying the built one to the final
index.

The resulting in-core index is Ok for most use, but read_cache() does not
recognize it as such.  The function is meant to be no-op if you already
have loaded the index, until you call discard_cache().

This change the way read_cache() detects an already initialized in-core
index, by introducing an extra bit, and marks the handcrafted in-core
index as initialized, to avoid this problem.

A better fix in the longer term would be to change the read_cache() API so
that it will always discard and re-read from the on-disk index to avoid
confusion.  But there are higher level API that have relied on the current
semantics, and they and their users all need to get converted, which is
outside the scope of 'maint' track.

An example of such a higher level API is write_cache_as_tree(), which is
used by git-write-tree as well as later Porcelains like git-merge, revert
and cherry-pick.  In the longer term, we should remove read_cache() from
there and add one to cmd_write_tree(); other callers expect that the
in-core index they prepared is what gets written as a tree so no other
change is necessary for this particular codepath.

The original version of this patch marked the index by pointing an
otherwise wasted malloc'ed memory with o->result.alloc, but this version
uses Linus's idea to use a new "initialized" bit, which is conceptually
much cleaner.

a81892dd8c compat/snprintf.c: handle snprintf's that always return the # chars transmitted
Some platforms provide a horribly broken snprintf. More broken than the
platforms that return -1 when there is too little space in the target buffer
for the formatted string. Some platforms provide an snprintf which _always_
returns the number of characters transmitted to the buffer, regardless of
whether there was enough space or not.

IRIX 6.5 is such a platform. IRIX does have a working snprintf(), but it
is only provided when _NO_XOPEN5 evaluates to zero, and this only happens
if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, but definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE prevents
inclusion of many other common functions and defines. So it must be avoided.

Work around these horribly broken snprintf implementations by detecting an
snprintf call which results in the number of transmitted characters exactly
equal to the length of our buffer and retrying with a larger buffer just to
be safe.

711521e246 git-svn: fix dcommit to urls with embedded usernames
Don't rely on the extracted URL from working_head_info since that has the
username removed.  Instead use the $gs->full_url method (as before with
ba24e74 (git-svn: add ability to specify --commit-url for dcommit,
2008-08-07)) to give us the URL to commit to if --commit-url is not
specified.

Aditionally, since we clean usernames from URLs, checking the URL after
rebase can fail because it doesn't match the URL we used to commit; so

4dc1db0bd1 revision.h: make show_early_output an extern which is defined in revision.c
The variable show_early_output is defined in revision.c and should be
declared extern in revision.h so that the linker does not complain
about multiply defined variables.

3a634dcf51 Add hints to revert documentation about other ways to undo changes
Based on its name, people may read the 'git revert' documentation when
they want to undo local changes, especially people who have used other
SCM's.  'git revert' may not be what they had in mind, but git
provides several other ways to undo changes to files.  We can help
them by pointing them towards the git commands that do what they might
want to do.

71f463773a Install templates with the user and group of the installing personality
If 'make install' was run with sufficient privileges, then the installed
templates, which are copied using 'tar', would receive the user and group
of whoever built git. This instructs 'tar' to ignore the user and group
that are recorded in the archive.

9ca8f6079c "git-merge": allow fast-forwarding in a stat-dirty tree
We used to refresh the index to clear stat-dirtyness before a fast-forward
merge.  Recent C rewrite forgot to do this.

25b3d4d6f3 completion: find out supported merge strategies correctly
"git-merge" is a binary executable these days, and looking for assignment
to $all_strategies variable with grep/sed does not work well.

When asked for an unknown strategy, pre-1.6.0 and post-1.6.0 "git merge"
commands respectively say:

    $ $HOME/git-snap-v1.5.6.5/bin/git merge -s help
    available strategies are: recur recursive octopus resolve stupid ours subtree
    $ $HOME/git-snap-v1.6.0/bin/git merge -s help
    Could not find merge strategy 'help'.
    Available strategies are: recursive octopus resolve ours subtree.

both on their standard error stream.  We can use this to learn what
strategies are supported.

The sed script is written in such a way that it catches both old and new
message styles ("Available" vs "available", and the full stop at the end).
It also allows future versions of "git merge" to line-wrap the list of
strategies, and add extra comments, like this:

    $ $HOME/git-snap-v1.6.1/bin/git merge -s help
    Could not find merge strategy 'help'.
    Available strategies are: blame recursive octopus resolve ours
    subtree.
    Also you have custom strategies: theirs

    Make sure you spell strategy names correctly.

54988bdad7 decorate: allow const objects to be decorated
We don't actually modify the struct object, so there is no
reason not to accept const versions (and this allows other
callsites, like the next patch, to use the decoration
machinery).
