Make the search for repository and enlistment root in 'setup_enlistment_directory()' more constrained to simplify behavior and adhere to 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES'. Previously, 'setup_enlistment_directory()' would check whether the provided path (or current working directory) '<dir>' or its subdirectory '<dir>/src' was a repository root. If not, the process would repeat on the parent of '<dir>' until the repository was found or it reached the root of the filesystem. This meant that a user could specify a path *anywhere* inside an enlistment (including paths not in the repository contained within the enlistment) and it would be found. The downside to this process is that the search would not account for 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES', so the upward search could result in modifying repository contents past 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES'. Similarly, operations like 'scalar delete' could end up unintentionally deleting the parent of a repo if its root was named 'src'. To make this 'setup_enlistment_directory()' both adhere to 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES' and avoid unwanted deletions, the search for an enlistment directory is simplified to: - if '<dir>/src' is a repository root, '<dir>' is the enlistment root - if '<dir>' is either the repository root or contained within a repository, the repository root is the enlistment root Now, only 'setup_git_directory()' (called by 'setup_enlistment_directory()') searches upwards from the 'scalar' specified path, enforcing 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES' in the process. Additionally, 'scalar delete <dir>/src' will not delete '<dir>' (if users would like to delete it, they can still specify the enlistment root with 'scalar delete <dir>'). This is true of any 'scalar' operation; users can invoke 'scalar' on the enlistment root, but paths must otherwise be inside the repository to be valid. To help clarify the updated behavior, new tests are added to 't9099-scalar.sh'. Finally, this change leaves 'strbuf_parent_directory()' with only a single, WIN32-specific caller in 'delete_enlistment()'. Rather than wrap 'strbuf_parent_directory()' in '#ifdef WIN32' to avoid the "unused function" compiler error, move the contents of 'strbuf_parent_directory()' into 'delete_enlistment()' and remove the function.

Contributed Software Although these pieces are available as part of the official git source tree, they are in somewhat different status. The intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them, and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved faster. I am not expecting to touch these myself that much. As far as my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are owned by their respective primary authors. I am willing to help if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners" have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree owners. IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch. If you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer). This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the drill. I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory. On the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused and inactive ones from time to time. If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves there are some general interests (it does not have to be a list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport), submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your stuff there. -jc
