f9bc573fda ident: rename IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME to IDENT_STRICT
Callers who ask for ERROR_ON_NO_NAME are not so much
concerned that the name will be blank (because, after all,
we will fall back to using the username), but rather it is a
check to make sure that low-quality identities do not end up
in things like commit messages or emails (whereas it is OK
for them to end up in things like reflogs).

When future commits add more quality checks on the identity,
each of these callers would want to use those checks, too.
Rather than modify each of them later to add a new flag,
let's refactor the flag.

e78cbf8cbb builtin/merge.c: reduce parents early
Instead of waiting until we record the parents of resulting merge, reduce
redundant parents (including our HEAD) immediately after reading them.

The change to t7602 illustrates the essence of the effect of this change.
The octopus merge strategy used to be fed with redundant commits only to
discard them as "up-to-date", but we no longer feed such redundant commits
to it and the affected test degenerates to a regular two-head merge.

And obviously the known-to-be-broken test in t6028 is now fixed.

Even though 1.7.9.x series does not open the editor by default
when merging in general, it does do so in one occassion: when
merging an annotated tag. And worse yet, there is no good way

df44483a5d diff --stat: add config option to limit graph width
Config option diff.statGraphWidth=<width> is equivalent to
--stat-graph-width=<width>, except that the config option is ignored
by format-patch.

For the graph-width limiting to be usable, it should happen
'automatically' once configured, hence the config option.
Nevertheless, graph width limiting only makes sense when used on a
wide terminal, so it should not influence the output of format-patch,
which adheres to the 80-column standard.

d46f476cb2 merge: do not trust fstat(2) too much when checking interactiveness
The heuristic used by "git merge" to decide if it automatically gives an
editor upon clean automerge is to see if the standard input and the
standard output is the same device and is a tty, we are in an interactive
session.  "The same device" test was done by comparing fstat(2) result on
the two file descriptors (and they must match), and we asked isatty() only
for the standard input (we insist that they are the same device and there
is no point asking tty-ness of the standard output).

The stat(2) emulation in the Windows port however does not give a usable
value in the st_ino field, so even if the standard output is connected to
something different from the standard input, "The same device" test may
incorrectly return true. To accomodate it, add another isatty() check for
the standard output stream as well.

b5c9f1c1b0 merge: do not create a signed tag merge under --ff-only option
Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge"
always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that
happens to be a descendant of your current commit.

Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to
make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be
possible to say:

	$ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30
        $ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9

and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka
the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with:

	fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.

because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by
fast forwarding.

We could teach users that now they have to do

	$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0

but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves.

When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag,
even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the
integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be
asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore,
this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted
to add.

f26af3fcbc merge: add instructions to the commit message when editing
Before f824628 (merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions,
2012-01-10), git-merge only started an editor if the user explicitly
asked for it with --edit.  Thus it seemed unlikely that the user would
need extra guidance.

After f824628 the _normal_ thing is to start an editor.  Give at least
an indication of why we are doing it.

The sentence about justification is one of the few things about
standard git that are not agnostic to the workflow that the user
chose.  However, f824628 was proposed by Linus specifically to
discourage users from merging unrelated upstream progress into topic
branches.  So we may as well take another step in the same direction.

f8246281af merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions
Traditionally, a cleanly resolved merge was committed by "git merge" using
the auto-generated merge commit log message without invoking the editor.

After 5 years of use in the field, it turns out that people perform too
many unjustified merges of the upstream history into their topic branches.
These merges are not just useless, but they are often not explained well,
and making the end result unreadable when it gets time for merging their
history back to their upstream.

Earlier we added the "--edit" option to the command, so that people can
edit the log message to explain and justify their merge commits. Let's
take it one step further and spawn the editor by default when we are in an
interactive session (i.e. the standard input and the standard output are
pointing at the same tty device).

There may be existing scripts that leave the standard input and the
standard output of the "git merge" connected to whatever environment the
scripts were started, and such invocation might trigger the above
"interactive session" heuristics.  GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable
can be set to "no" at the beginning of such scripts to use the historical
behaviour while the script runs.

Note that this backward compatibility is meant only for scripts, and we
deliberately do *not* support "merge.edit = yes/no/auto" configuration
option to allow people to keep the historical behaviour.

d5a35c114a Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer use
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that
use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the
value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the
static buffer's value.

The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c
demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge()

branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag);

Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref()
may be called again and destroy "branch".

c1d7036b6b checkout,merge: disallow overwriting ignored files with --no-overwrite-ignore
Ignored files usually are generated files (e.g. .o files) and can be
safely discarded. However sometimes users may have important files in
working directory, but still want a clean "git status", so they mark
them as ignored files. But in this case, these files should not be
overwritten without asking first.

Enable this use case with --no-overwrite-ignore, where git only sees
tracked and untracked files, no ignored files. Those who mix
discardable ignored files with important ones may have to sort it out
themselves.

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not
safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens,
the buffer may be changed.  Many call sites though do not care about
this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not.

Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref()
calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on

ba3c69a9ee commit: teach --gpg-sign option
This uses the gpg-interface.[ch] to allow signing the commit, i.e.

    $ git commit --gpg-sign -m foo
    You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
    user: "Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>"
    4096-bit RSA key, ID 96AFE6CB, created 2011-10-03 (main key ID 713660A7)

    [master 8457d13] foo
     1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

The lines of GPG detached signature are placed in a new multi-line header
field, instead of tucking the signature block at the end of the commit log
message text (similar to how signed tag is done), for multiple reasons:

 - The signature won't clutter output from "git log" and friends if it is
   in the extra header. If we place it at the end of the log message, we
   would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block
   with an option.

 - Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and
   show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature
   block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message).

 - The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting
   operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore
   unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of
   these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature
   block would look like.

 - When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree
   and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been
   fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that
   new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit.

A commit made with the above sample sequence would look like this:

    $ git cat-file commit HEAD

fab47d0575 merge: force edit and no-ff mode when merging a tag object
Now that we allow pulling a tag from the remote site to validate the
authenticity, we should give the user the final chance to verify and edit
the merge message. The integrator is expected to leave a meaningful merge
commit log in the history. Disallow fast-forwarding in such a case to
ensure that a merge commit is always recorded.

ae8e4c9ce1 merge: make usage of commit->util more extensible
The merge-recursive code uses the commit->util field directly to annotate
the commit objects given from the command line, i.e. the remote heads to
be merged, with a single string to be used to describe it in its trace
messages and conflict markers.

Correct this short-signtedness by redefining the field to be a pointer to
a structure "struct merge_remote_desc" that later enhancements can add
more information. Store the original objects we were told to merge in a
field "obj" in this struct, so that we can recover the tag we were told to
merge.

66f4b98ad9 Teach merge the '[-e|--edit]' option
Implemented internally instead of as "git merge --no-commit && git commit"
so that "merge --edit" is otherwise consistent (hooks, etc) with "merge".

Note: the edit message does not include the status information that one
gets with "commit --status" and it is cleaned up after editing like one
gets with "commit --cleanup=default". A later patch could add the status
information if desired.

Note: previously we were not calling stripspace() after running the
prepare-commit-msg hook. Now we are, stripping comments and
leading/trailing whitespace lines if --edit is given, otherwise only
stripping leading/trailing whitespace lines if not given --edit.

baf18fc261 Accept tags in HEAD or MERGE_HEAD
HEAD and MERGE_HEAD (among other branch tips) should never hold a
tag. That can only be caused by broken tools and is cumbersome to fix
by an end user with:

  $ git update-ref HEAD $(git rev-parse HEAD^{commit})

which may look like a magic to a new person.

Be easy, warn users (so broken tools can be fixed if they bother to
report) and move on.

Be robust, if the given SHA-1 cannot be resolved to a commit object,
die (therefore return value is always valid).

c9bfb95348 want_color: automatically fallback to color.ui
All of the "do we want color" flags default to -1 to
indicate that we don't have any color configured. This value
is handled in one of two ways:

  1. In porcelain, we check early on whether the value is
     still -1 after reading the config, and set it to the
     value of color.ui (which defaults to 0).

  2. In plumbing, it stays untouched as -1, and want_color
     defaults it to off.

This works fine, but means that every porcelain has to check
and reassign its color flag. Now that want_color gives us a
place to put this check in a single spot, we can do that,
simplifying the calling code.

f1c9626105 diff: refactor COLOR_DIFF from a flag into an int
This lets us store more than just a bit flag for whether we
want color; we can also store whether we want automatic
colors. This can be useful for making the automatic-color
decision closer to the point of use.

This mostly just involves replacing DIFF_OPT_* calls with
manipulations of the flag. The biggest exception is that
calls to DIFF_OPT_TST must check for "o->use_color > 0",
which lets an "unknown" value (i.e., the default) stay at
"no color". In the previous code, a value of "-1" was not
propagated at all.

6bf139440c clean up calling conventions for pretty.c functions
We have a pretty_print_context representing the parameters
for a pretty-print session, but we did not use it uniformly.
As a result, functions kept growing more and more arguments.

Let's clean this up in a few ways:

  1. All pretty-print pp_* functions now take a context.
     This lets us reduce the number of arguments to these
     functions, since we were just passing around the
     context values separately.

  2. The context argument now has a cmit_fmt field, which
     was passed around separately. That's one less argument
     per function.

  3. The context argument always comes first, which makes
     calling a little more uniform.

This drops lines from some callers, and adds lines in a few
places (because we need an extra line to set the context's
fmt field). Overall, we don't save many lines, but the lines
that are there are a lot simpler and more readable.

The merge-recursive strategy already handles root commits;
it cherry-picks the difference between the empty tree and

However, for external strategies, we dereference NULL and
segfault while building the argument list. Instead, let's
handle this by passing the empty tree sha1 to the merge
script.

97b1b4f3a6 merge: merge unborn index before setting ref
When we merge into an unborn branch, there are basically two
steps:

  1. Write the sha1 of the new commit into the ref pointed
     to by HEAD.

  2. Update the index with the new content, and check it out
     to the working tree.

We currently do them in this order. However, (2) is the step
that is much more likely to fail, since it can be blocked by
things like untracked working tree files. When it does, the
merge fails and we are left with an empty index but an
updated HEAD.

This patch switches the order, so that a failure in updating
the index leaves us unchanged. Of course, a failure in
updating the ref now leaves us with an updated index and
mis-matched HEAD. That is arguably not much better, but it
is probably less likely to actually happen.

d7e5c0cbfb Introduce CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
When a cherry-pick conflicts git advises:

 $ git commit -c <original commit id>

to preserve the original commit message and authorship. Instead, let's
record the original commit id in CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and advise:

  $ git commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD

A later patch teaches git to handle the '-c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' part.
Note that we record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even in the case where there
are no conflicts so that we may use it to communicate authorship to
commit; this will then allow us to remove set_author_ident_env from
revert.c. However, we do not record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD when --no-commit
is used, as presumably the user intends to further edit the commit
and possibly even cherry-pick additional commits on top.

Tests and documentation contributed by Jonathan Nieder.

99bfc6691d merge: enable progress reporting for rename detection
The user can enable or disable it explicitly with the new
--progress, but it defaults to checking isatty(2).

This works only with merge-recursive and subtree. In theory
we could pass a progress flag to other strategies, but none
of them support progress at this point, so let's wait until
they grow such a feature before worrying about propagating
it.

65969d43d1 merge: honor prepare-commit-msg hook
When a merge is stopped due to conflicts or --no-commit, the
subsequent commit calls the prepare-commit-msg hook. However,
it is not called after a clean merge. Fix this inconsistency
by invoking the hook after clean merges as well.

This also removes the superfluous "specify" and rewords the misleading
"if any" which sounds as if omitting "-m" would omit the merge commit
message. (It means "if a merge commit is created at all".)

67ac1e1d57 cherry-pick/revert: add support for -X/--strategy-option
For example, this would allow cherry-picking or reverting patches from
a piece of history with a different end-of-line style, like so:

	$ git revert -Xrenormalize old-problematic-commit

Currently that is possible with manual use of merge-recursive but the
cherry-pick/revert porcelain does not expose the functionality.

While at it, document the existing support for --strategy.

35d2fffdb8 Provide 'git merge --abort' as a synonym to 'git reset --merge'
Teach 'git merge' the --abort option, which verifies the existence of
MERGE_HEAD and then invokes 'git reset --merge' to abort the current
in-progress merge and attempt to reconstruct the pre-merge state.

The reason for adding this option is to provide a user interface for
aborting an in-progress merge that is consistent with the interface
for aborting a rebase ('git rebase --abort'), aborting the application
of a patch series ('git am --abort'), and aborting an in-progress notes
merge ('git notes merge --abort').

The patch includes documentation and testcases that explain and verify
the various scenarios in which 'git merge --abort' can run. The
testcases also document the cases in which 'git merge --abort' is
unable to correctly restore the pre-merge state (look for the '###'
comments towards the bottom of t/t7609-merge-abort.sh).

2a22c1b35d cmd_merge(): Parse options before checking MERGE_HEAD
Reorder the initial part of builtin/merge.c:cmd_merge() so that command-line
options are parsed _before_ we load the index and check for MERGE_HEAD
(and exits if it exists). This does not change the behaviour of 'git merge',
but is needed in preparation for the implementation of 'git merge --abort'
(which requires MERGE_HEAD to be present).

- Junio C Hamano: fixup minor style issues
