When we parse a config file, we set up the global "cf"
variable as a pointer to a "struct config_source" describing
the file we are parsing. This is used for error messages, as
well as for lookup functions like current_config_name().
The "cf" variable is NULL in two cases:
1. When we are parsing command-line config, in which case
there is no source file.
2. When we are not parsing any config at all.
Callers like current_config_name() must assume we are in
case 1 if they see a NULL "cf". However, this means that if
they are accidentally used outside of a config parsing
callback, they will quietly return a bogus answer.
This might seem like an unlikely accident (why would you ask
for the current config file if you are not parsing config?),
but it's actually an easy mistake to make due to the
configset caching. git_config() serves the answers from a
configset cache, and any calls to current_config_name() will
claim that we are parsing command-line config, no matter
what the original source.
So let's distinguish these cases by having the command-line
config parser set up a config_source with a NULL name (which
callers already handle properly). We can use this to catch
programming errors in some cases, and to give better
messages to the user in others.

Prior to 1f2baa7 (config: treat non-existent config files as
empty, 2010-10-21), we returned an error if any config files
were missing. That commit made this a non-error, but
returned the number of sources found, in case any caller
wanted to distinguish this case.
In the past 5+ years, no caller has; the only two places
which bother to check the return value care only about the
error case. Let's drop this code, which complicates the
function. Similarly, let's drop the "found anything" return
from git_config_from_parameters, which was present only to
support this (and similarly has never had other callers care
for the past 5+ years).
Note that we do need to update a comment in one of the
callers, even though the code immediately below it doesn't

On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot
are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the
.git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed
through Git itself.
On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag
to mark files or directories as hidden.
In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or
for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot)
hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data.
Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting,
with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to
marking only the .git/ directory as hidden.
The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as
was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However,
not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not
show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a
.gitattributes file).
In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core
Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows'
users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/
directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden
.git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the
process of getting this patch upstream.
Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when
creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which
transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile()
function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the
equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed
and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an
existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be
transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again
without O_CREAT.
A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen()
function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag.
Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them
via fopen()/freopen().
The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file
that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in
Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is
awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled
better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series,
though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without
the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.
For details how ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED can be triggered, see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa363858

Change the hardcoded lookup for .git/hooks/* to optionally lookup in

This is essentially a more intrusive version of the git-init ability to
specify hooks on init time via init templates.
The difference between that facility and this feature is that this can
be set up after the fact via e.g. ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig to
apply for all your personal repositories, or all repositories on the
system.
I plan on using this on a centralized Git server where users can create
arbitrary repositories under /gitroot, but I'd like to manage all the

We pass off to the "_gently" form to do the real work, and

de-references "value", which may be NULL if the request was
to unset a variable. Nobody using glibc noticed, because it
simply prints "(null)", which is good enough for the test
suite (and presumably very few people run across this in
practice). But other libc implementations (like Solaris) may
segfault.

This function is just a thin wrapper for the "_gently" form
of the function. But the gently form is designed to feed
builtin/config.c, which passes our return code directly to
its exit status, and thus uses positive error values for
some cases. We check only negative values, meaning we would
fail to die in some cases (e.g., a malformed key).
This may or may not be triggerable in practice; we tend to
use this non-gentle form only when setting internal

"git -c credential.<var>=<value> submodule" can now be used to
propagate configuration variables related to credential helper
down to the submodules.
* jk/submodule-c-credential:
git_config_push_parameter: handle empty GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS
git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command line
quote: implement sq_quotef()
submodule: fix segmentation fault in submodule--helper clone
submodule: fix submodule--helper clone usage
submodule: check argc count for git submodule--helper clone
submodule: don't pass empty string arguments to submodule--helper clone
The "git -c var=value" option stuffs the config value into
$GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, so that sub-processes can see it.
When the config is later read via git_config() or similar,
we parse it back out of that variable. The parsing end is a
little bit picky; it assumes that each entry was generated
with sq_quote_buf(), and that there is no extraneous
whitespace.
On the generating end, we are careful to append to an
existing $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable if it exists.
However, our test for "should we add a space separator" is
too liberal: it will add one even if the environment
variable exists but is empty. As a result, you might end up
with:
GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS=" 'core.foo=bar'"
which the parser will choke on.
This was hard to trigger in older versions of git, since we
only set the variable when we had something to put into it
(though you could certainly trigger it manually). But since
14111fc (git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command
line, 2016-02-29), the submodule code will unconditionally
put the $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable into the environment
of any operation in the submodule, whether it is empty or
not. So any of those operations which themselves use "git
-c" will generate the unparseable value and fail.
We can easily fix it by catching this case on the generating
side. While we're adding a test, let's also check that
multiple layers of "git -c" work, which was previously not
tested at all.

We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where

simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer
overflow.
There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n)
is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no
guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some
cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the
allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that
the contents will always fill the buffer.
In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined
the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution.

As a previous patch makes read_index_from() change the state of

When we know that mtime on directory as given by the environment
is usable for the purpose of untracked cache, we may want the
untracked cache to be always used without any mtime test or
kernel name check being performed.
Also when we know that mtime is not usable for the purpose of
untracked cache, for example because the repo is shared over a
network file system, we may want the untracked-cache to be
automatically removed from the index.
Allow the user to express such preference by setting the
'core.untrackedCache' configuration variable, which can take
'keep', 'false', or 'true' and default to 'keep'.
When read_index_from() is called, it now adds or removes the
untracked cache in the index to respect the value of this
variable. So it does nothing if the value is `keep` or if the
variable is unset; it adds the untracked cache if the value is
`true`; and it removes the cache if the value is `false`.
`git update-index --[no-|force-]untracked-cache` still adds the
untracked cache to, or removes it, from the index, but this
shows a warning if it goes against the value of
core.untrackedCache, because the next time the index is read
the untracked cache will be added or removed if the
configuration is set to do so.
Also `--untracked-cache` used to check that the underlying
operating system and file system change `st_mtime` field of a
directory if files are added or deleted in that directory. But
because those tests take a long time, `--untracked-cache` no
longer performs them. Instead, there is now
`--test-untracked-cache` to perform the tests. This change
makes `--untracked-cache` the same as `--force-untracked-cache`.
This last change is backward incompatible and should be
mentioned in the release notes.

The error message after a failing commit_lock_file() call sometimes

error: could not commit config file .git/config
# Huh?!
# I didn't want to commit anything, especially not my config file!
While in the narrow context of the lockfile module using the verb
'commit' in the error message makes perfect sense, in the broader

hence the confusion.
Reword these error messages to say "could not write" instead of "could

While at it, include strerror in the error messages after writing the

When we are running the git command "foo", we may have to
look up the config keys "pager.foo" and "alias.foo". These
config schemes are mis-designed, as the command names can be
anything, but the config syntax has some restrictions. For
example:
$ git foo_bar
error: invalid key: pager.foo_bar
error: invalid key: alias.foo_bar
git: 'foo_bar' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
You cannot name an alias with an underscore. And if you have
an external command with one, you cannot configure its
pager.
In the long run, we may develop a different config scheme
for these features. But in the near term (and because we'll
need to support the existing scheme indefinitely), we should
at least squelch the error messages shown above.
These errors come from git_config_parse_key. Ideally we
would pass a "quiet" flag to the config machinery, but there
are many layers between the pager code and the key parsing.
Passing a flag through all of those would be an invasive
change.
Instead, let's provide a config function to report on
whether a key is syntactically valid, and have the pager and
alias code skip lookup for bogus keys. We can build this
easily around the existing git_config_parse_key, with two
minor modifications:
1. We now handle a NULL store_key, to validate but not
write out the normalized key.
2. We accept a "quiet" flag to avoid writing to stderr.
This doesn't need to be a full-blown public "flags"
field, because we can make the existing implementation
a static helper function, keeping the mess contained

The config-writing code uses xmmap to map the existing
config file, which will die if the map fails. This has two
downsides:
1. The error message is not very helpful, as it lacks any
context about the file we are mapping:
$ mkdir foo
$ git config --file=foo some.key value
fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device
2. We normally do not die in this code path; instead, we'd
rather report the error and return an appropriate exit
status (which is part of the public interface
documented in git-config.1).
This patch introduces a "gentle" form of xmmap which lets us
produce our own error message. We do not want to use mmap
directly, because we would like to use the other
compatibility elements of xmmap (e.g., handling 0-length
maps portably).
The end result is:
$ git.compile config --file=foo some.key value
error: unable to mmap 'foo': No such device

We read config files character-by-character from a stdio
handle using fgetc(). This incurs significant locking
overhead, even though we know that only one thread can
possibly access the handle. We can speed this up by taking
the lock ourselves, and then using getc_unlocked to read
each character.
On a silly pathological case:
perl -le '
print "[core]";
print "key$_ = value$_" for (1..1000000)
' >input
git config -f input core.key1
this dropped the time to run git-config from:
real 0m0.263s
user 0m0.260s
sys 0m0.000s
to:
real 0m0.159s
user 0m0.152s
sys 0m0.004s
for a savings of 39%. Most config files are not this big,
but the savings should be proportional to the size of the
file (i.e., we always save 39%, just of a much smaller

Our config code simulates a stdio stream around a buffer,
but our fake ungetc() does not behave quite like the real
one. In particular, we only rewind the position by one
character, but do _not_ actually put the character from the
caller into position.
It turns out that this does not matter, because we only ever
push back the character we just read. In other words, such
an assignment would be a noop. But because the function is
called ungetc, and because it takes a character parameter,
it is a mistake waiting to happen.
Actually assigning the character into the buffer would be
ideal, but our pointer is actually a "const" copy of the
buffer. We do not know who the real owner of the buffer is
in this code, and would not want to munge their contents.
Instead, we can simply add an assertion that matches what
the current caller does, and will let us know if new callers
are added that violate the contract.

When we are parsing a config value, if we see a carriage
return, we fgetc the next character to see if it is a
line feed (in which case we silently drop the CR). If it
isn't, we then ungetc the character, and take the literal
CR.
But we never check whether we in fact got a character at
all. If the config file ends in CR, we will get EOF here,
and try to ungetc EOF. This works OK for a real stdio
stream. The ungetc returns an error, and the next fgetc will
then return EOF again.
However, our custom buffer-based stream is not so fortunate.
It happily rewinds the position of the stream by one
character, ignoring the fact that we fed it EOF. The next
fgetc call returns the final CR again, over and over, and we
end up in an infinite loop.

For now, we still make sure to allocate at least PATH_MAX characters

Another alternative would be to just use a strbuf as scratch space in
lock_file() but then store a pointer to the naked string in struct
lock_file. But lock_file objects are often reused. By reusing the
same strbuf, we can avoid having to reallocate the string most times

not match with any string but is true for empty strings. Instead use a

Of all the functions in `git_config*()` family, `git_config()` has the

Currently `git_config()` returns an integer signifying an error code.
During rewrites of the function most of the code was shifted to
`git_config_with_options()`. `git_config_with_options()` normally
returns positive values if its `config_source` parameter is set as NULL,
as most errors are fatal, and non-fatal potential errors are guarded
by "if" statements that are entered only when no error is possible.
Still a negative value can be returned in case of race condition between
`access_or_die()` & `git_config_from_file()`. Also, all callers of
`git_config()` ignore the return value except for one case in branch.c.

Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for
config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config
files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with
different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves.
Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
`~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value`
and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets.
`git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there
are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the
value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`).
`git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of
increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add
type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar.
Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs
read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide
~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set`
is populated using `git_config()`.
Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and
`git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from
`the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are
implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

the string with git_config_string, which does two things:
1. It complains via config_error_nonbool if there is no

2. It makes a copy of the string.
Since we immediately parse the string into its
single-character value, we only care about (1). And in fact
(2) is a detriment, as it means we leak the copy. Instead,
let's just check the pointer value ourselves, and parse
directly from the const string we already have.

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra

This makes config's lowercase() function obsolete, though
note that because we have a strbuf, we are careful to
operate over the whole strbuf, rather than assuming that a
NUL is the end-of-string.
We could continue to offer a pure-string lowercase, but

When we see a relative config include like:

we make it relative to the containing directory of the file
that contains the snippet. This makes no sense for config
read from a blob, as it is not on the filesystem. Something
like "HEAD:some/path" could have a relative path within the

1. It would not be part of include.path, which explicitly
refers to the filesystem.
2. It would need different parsing rules anyway to
determine that it is a tree path.

"git config" did not provide a way to set or access numbers larger
than a native "int" on the platform; it now provides 64-bit signed
integers on all platforms.
* jk/config-int-range-check:
git-config: always treat --int as 64-bit internally
config: make numeric parsing errors more clear
config: set errno in numeric git_parse_* functions
config: properly range-check integer values
config: factor out integer parsing from range checks
When you run "git config --int", the maximum size of integer
you get depends on how git was compiled, and what it
considers to be an "int".
This is almost useful, because your scripts calling "git
config" will behave similarly to git internally. But relying
on this is dubious; you have to actually know how git treats
each value internally (e.g., int versus unsigned long),
which is not documented and is subject to change. And even
if you know it is "unsigned long", we do not have a
git-config option to match that behavior.
Furthermore, you may simply be asking git to store a value
on your behalf (e.g., configuration for a hook). In that
case, the relevant range check has nothing at all to do with
git, but rather with whatever scripting tools you are using
(and git has no way of knowing what the appropriate range is
there).
Not only is the range check useless, but it is actively
harmful, as there is no way at all for scripts to look
at config variables with large values. For instance, one
cannot reliably get the value of pack.packSizeLimit via
git-config. On an LP64 system, git happily uses a 64-bit
"unsigned long" internally to represent the value, but the
script cannot read any value over 2G.
Ideally, the "--int" option would simply represent an
arbitrarily large integer. For practical purposes, however,
a 64-bit integer is large enough, and is much easier to
implement (and if somebody overflows it, we will still
notice the problem, and not simply return garbage).

If we try to parse an integer config argument and get a

cryptic message: "bad config value for '%s'".
We can improve two things:
1. Show the value that produced the error (e.g., bad
config value '3g' for 'foo.bar').
2. Mention the reason the value was rejected (e.g.,
"invalid unit" versus "out of range").
A few tests need to be updated with the new output, but that
should not be representative of real-world breakage, as
scripts should not be depending on the exact text of our

When we are parsing an integer or unsigned long, we use
the strto*max functions, which properly set errno to ERANGE
if we get a large value. However, we also do further range
checks after applying our multiplication factor, but do not
set ERANGE. This means that a caller cannot tell if an error
was caused by ERANGE or if the input was simply not a valid
number.
This patch teaches git_parse_signed and git_parse_unsigned to set
ERANGE for range errors, and EINVAL for other errors, so that the
caller can reliably tell these cases apart.

When we look at a config value as an integer using the
git_config_int function, we carefully range-check the value
we get and complain if it is out of our range. But the range
we compare to is that of a "long", which we then cast to an
"int" in the function's return value. This means that on
systems where "int" and "long" have different sizes (e.g.,
LP64 systems), we may pass the range check, but then return
nonsense by truncating the value as we cast it to an int.
We can solve this by converting git_parse_long into
git_parse_int, and range-checking the "int" range. Nobody
actually cared that we used a "long" internally, since the
result was truncated anyway. And the only other caller of
git_parse_long is git_config_maybe_bool, which should be
fine to just use int (though we will now forbid out-of-range
nonsense like setting "merge.ff" to "10g" to mean "true",
which is probably a good thing).

According to C99, section 7.1.4:
Any function declared in a header may be additionally
implemented as a function-like macro defined in the
header.
Therefore calling our struct member function pointer "fgetc"
may run afoul of unwanted macro expansion when we call:
char c = cf->fgetc(cf);
This turned out to be a problem on uclibc, which defines
fgetc as a macro and causes compilation failure.
The standard suggests fixing this in a few ways:
1. Using extra parentheses to inhibit the function-like
macro expansion. E.g., "(cf->fgetc)(cf)". This is
undesirable as it's ugly, and each call site needs to
remember to use it (and on systems without the macro,
forgetting will compile just fine).
2. Using #undef (because a conforming implementation must
also be providing fgetc as a function). This is
undesirable because presumably the implementation was
using the macro for a performance benefit, and we are
dropping that optimization.
Instead, we can simply use non-colliding names.

The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files,
2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config
permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent
important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being
ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for
example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS
attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the
current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those
permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been
minimal.
Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as
a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root",
creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that
when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with
fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied
Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems:
1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME
when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other
proposal that they have to opt into).
2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges,
either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them
set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work
(e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed).
3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are
not caught.
This patch is of type (3).
Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to
permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at
all.
An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that
would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a
globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private.
This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config
is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors),
nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems
other than permissions.

There is convenience in warning and moving on when somebody has a
bogus permissions on /etc/gitconfig and cannot do anything about it.
But the cost in predictability and security is too high --- when
unreadable config files are skipped, it means an I/O error or
permissions problem causes important configuration to be bypassed.
For example, servers may depend on /etc/gitconfig to enforce security
policy (setting transfer.fsckObjects or receive.deny*). Best to
always error out when encountering trouble accessing a config file.
This may add inconvenience in some cases:
1. You are inspecting somebody else's repo, and you do not have
access to their .git/config file. Git typically dies in this
case already since we cannot read core.repositoryFormatVersion,
so the change should not be too noticeable.
2. You have used "sudo -u" or a similar tool to switch uid, and your
environment still points Git at your original user's global
config, which is not readable. In this case people really would
be inconvenienced (they would rather see the harmless warning and
continue the operation) but they can work around it by setting
HOME appropriately after switching uids.
3. You do not have access to /etc/gitconfig due to a broken setup.
In this case, erroring out is a good way to put pressure on the
sysadmin to fix the setup. While they wait for a reply, users
can set GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM to true to keep Git working without
complaint.
After this patch, errors accessing the repository-local and systemwide
config files and files requested in include directives cause Git to
exit, just like errors accessing ~/.gitconfig.

Git reads multiple configuration files: settings come first from the
system config file (typically /etc/gitconfig), then the xdg config
file (typically ~/.config/git/config), then the user's dotfile
(~/.gitconfig), then the repository configuration (.git/config).
Git has always used access(2) to decide whether to use each file; as
an unfortunate side effect, that means that if one of these files is
unreadable (e.g., EPERM or EIO), git skips it. So if I use
~/.gitconfig to override some settings but make a mistake and give it
the wrong permissions then I am subject to the settings the sysadmin
chose for /etc/gitconfig.
Better to error out and ask the user to correct the problem.
This only affects the user and xdg config files, since the user
presumably has enough access to fix their permissions. If the system
config file is unreadable, the best we can do is to warn about it so
the user knows to notify someone and get on with work in the meantime.

Previously while reading the variable names in config files, there
was a 256 character limit with at most 128 of those characters being
used by the section header portion of the variable name. This
limitation was only enforced while reading the config files. It was
possible to write a config file that was not subsequently readable.
Instead of enforcing this limitation for both reading and writing,
remove it entirely by changing the var member of the config_file
struct to a strbuf instead of a fixed length buffer. Update all of
the parsing functions in config.c to use the strbuf instead of the
static buffer.
The parsing functions that returned the base length of the variable
name now return simply 0 for success and -1 for failure. The base
length information is obtained through the strbuf's len member.
We now send the buf member of the strbuf to external callback
functions to preserve the external api. None of the external
callers rely on the old size limitation for sizing their own buffers
so removing the limit should have no externally visible effect.

Before reading a config file, we check "!access(path, R_OK)"
to make sure that the file exists and is readable. If it's
not, then we silently ignore it.
For the case of ENOENT, this is fine, as the presence of the
file is optional. For other cases, though, it may indicate a
configuration error (e.g., not having permissions to read
the file). Let's print a warning in these cases to let the
user know.

Teaches git to normalize pathnames read from readdir(3) and all
arguments from the command line into precomposed UTF-8 (assuming
that they come as decomposed UTF-8) to work around issues on Mac OS.
I think there still are other places that need conversion
(e.g. paths that are read from stdin for some commands), but this
should be a good first step in the right direction.
* tb/sanitize-decomposed-utf-8-pathname:
git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode
Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.
Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".
As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.
The unicode decomposition causes many problems:
- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.
- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
consistency in general).
- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
readdir().
NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.
As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can
- wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and
- normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
precomposed form,
to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.
The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.
The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.
When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".
The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.

Teach git to read the "gitconfig" information from a new location,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config; this allows the user to avoid
cluttering $HOME with many per-application configuration files.
In the order of reading, this file comes between the global
configuration file (typically $HOME/.gitconfig) and the system wide
configuration file (typically /etc/gitconfig).
We do not write to this new location (yet).
If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used. This is in line with XDG specification.
If the new file does not exist, the behavior is unchanged.

When calling "git push" without argument, we want to allow Git to do
something simple to explain and safe. push.default=matching is unsafe
when used to push to shared repositories, and hard to explain to
beginners in some contexts. It is debatable whether 'upstream' or
'current' is the safest or the easiest to explain, so introduce a new
mode called 'simple' that is the intersection of them: push to the
upstream branch, but only if it has the same name remotely. If not, give
an error that suggests the right command to push explicitely to
'upstream' or 'current'.
A question is whether to allow pushing when no upstream is configured. An
argument in favor of allowing the push is that it makes the new mode work
in more cases. On the other hand, refusing to push when no upstream is
configured encourages the user to set the upstream, which will be
beneficial on the next pull. Lacking better argument, we chose to deny
the push, because it will be easier to change in the future if someone
shows us wrong.

It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).
This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:
[include]
path = /path/to/file
This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).
The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.
Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:
1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.
2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
reasons:
a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
config-like files.
b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
care about just what's in that file, not a general
lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
all". If that is not the case, the caller can
always specify "--includes".
3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
modified), and not expand them. So "git config
--unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
.git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

This is a magic global variable that was intended as an
override to the usual git-config lookup process. Once upon a
time, you could specify GIT_CONFIG to any git program, and
it would look only at that file. This turned out to be
confusing and cause a lot of bugs for little gain. As a
result, dc87183 (Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not
other programs, 2008-06-30) took this away for all callers
except git-config.
Since git-config no longer uses it either, the variable can
just go away. As the diff shows, nobody was setting to
anything except NULL, so we can just replace any sites where
it was read with NULL.

Callers may want to provide a specific version of a file in which to look
for config. Right now this can be done by setting the magic global
config_exclusive_filename variable. By providing a version of git_config
that takes a filename, we can take a step towards making this magic global
go away.
Furthermore, by providing a more "advanced" interface, we now have a a
natural place to add new options for callers like git-config, which care
about tweaking the specifics of config lookup, without disturbing the
large number of "simple" users (i.e., every other part of git).
The astute reader of this patch may notice that the logic for handling
config_exclusive_filename was taken out of git_config_early, but added
into git_config. This means that git_config_early will no longer respect
config_exclusive_filename. That's OK, because the only other caller of
git_config_early is check_repository_format_gently, but the only function
which sets config_exclusive_filename is cmd_config, which does not call
check_repository_format_gently (and if it did, it would have been a bug,
anyway, as we would be checking the repository format in the wrong file).

The git_config_set_multivar_in_file function takes a
filename argument to specify the file into which the values
should be written. Currently, this value must be non-NULL.
Callers which want to write to the default location must use
the regular, non-"in_file" version, which will either write
to config_exclusive_filename, or to the repo config if the
exclusive filename is NULL.
Let's migrate the "default to using repo config" logic into
the "in_file" form. That will let callers get the same
default-if-NULL behavior as one gets with
config_exclusive_filename, but without having to use the
global variable.

On cygwin, test number 21 of t3200-branch.sh (git branch -m q q2
without config should succeed) fails. The failure involves the
functions from path.c which parcel out internal static buffers
from the git_path() and mkpath() functions.
In particular, the rename_ref() function calls safe_create_leading\
_directories() with a filename returned by git_path("logs/%s", ref).
safe_create_leading_directories(), in turn, calls stat() on each
element of the path it is given. On cygwin, this leads to a call
to git_config() for each component of the path, since this test
explicitly removes the config file. git_config() calls mkpath(), so
on the fourth component of the path, the original buffer passed
into the function is overwritten with the config filename.
Note that this bug is specific to cygwin and it's schizophrenic
stat() functions (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843). The
lack of a config file and a path with at least four elements is
also important to trigger the bug.
In order to fix the problem, we replace the call to mkpath() with
a call to mksnpath() and provide our own buffer.

The config options core.packedGitWindowSize, core.packedGitLimit,
core.deltaBaseCacheLimit, core.bigFileThreshold, pack.windowMemory and
pack.packSizeLimit all claim to support suffixes up to and including
'g'. This implies that they should accept sizes >=2G on 64-bit
systems: certainly, specifying a size of 3g should not silently be
translated to zero or transformed into a large negative value due to
integer overflow. However, due to use of git_config_int() rather than
git_config_ulong(), that is exactly what happens:
% git config core.bigFileThreshold 2g
% git gc --aggressive # with extra debugging code to print out
# core.bigfilethreshold after parsing
bigfilethreshold: -2147483648
[...]
This is probably irrelevant for core.deltaBaseCacheLimit, but is
problematic for the other values. (It is particularly problematic for
core.packedGitLimit, which can't even be set to its default value in
the config file due to this bug.)
This fixes things for 32-bit platforms as well. They get the usual bad
config error if an overlarge value is specified, e.g.:
fatal: bad config value for 'core.bigfilethreshold' in /home/nix/.gitconfig
This is detected in all cases, even if the 32-bit platform has no size
larger than 'long'. For signed integral configuration values, we also
detect the case where the value is too large for the signed type but
not the unsigned type.

This code calls git_config from a helper function to parse the config entry
it is interested in. Calling git_config in this way may cause a problem if
the helper function can be called after a previous call to git_config by
another function since the second call to git_config may reset some
variable to the value in the config file which was previously overridden.
The above is not a problem in this case since the function passed to
git_config only parses one config entry and the variable it sets is not
assigned outside of the parsing function. But a programmer who desires
all of the standard config options to be parsed may be tempted to modify
git_attr_config() so that it falls back to git_default_config() and then it
_would_ be vulnerable to the above described behavior.
So, move the call to git_config up into the top-level cmd_* function and
move the responsibility for parsing core.attributesfile into the main
config file parser.
Which is only the logical thing to do ;-)

The error handling for git_config is somewhat confusing. We
collect errors from running git_config_from_file on the
various config files and carefully pass them back up. But
the two odd things are:
1. We actually die on most errors in git_config_from_file.
In fact, the only error we actually pass back up is if
fopen() fails on the file.
2. Most callers of git_config do not check the error
return at all, but will continue if git_config reports
an error.
When the code for "git -c core.foo=bar" was added, it
dutifully passed errors up the call stack, only for them to
be eventually ignored. This makes it inconsistent with the
file-parsing code, which will die when it sees malformed
config. And it's somewhat unsafe, because it means an error
in parsing a typo like:
git -c clean.requireforce=ture clean
will continue the command, ignoring the config the user
tried to give.

On Cygwin, this fixes a test failure in t3301-notes.sh (test 98,
"git notes copy --for-rewrite (disabled)").
The test failure is caused by a recursive call to git_config() which
has the effect of skipping to the end-of-file while processing the
"notes.rewriteref" config variable. Thus, any config variables that
appear after "notes.rewriteref" are simply ignored by git_config().
Also, we note that the original FILE handle is leaked as a result
of the recursive call.
The recursive call to git_config() is due to the "schizophrenic stat"
functions on cygwin, where one of two different implementations of
the l/stat functions is selected lazily, depending on some config
variables.
In this case, the init_copy_notes_for_rewrite() function calls
git_config() with the notes_rewrite_config() callback function.
This callback, while processing the "notes.rewriteref" variable,
in turn calls string_list_add_refs_by_glob() to process the
associated ref value. This eventually leads to a call to the
get_ref_dir() function, which in turn calls stat(). On cygwin,
the stat() macro leads to an indirect call to cygwin_stat_stub()
which, via init_stat(), then calls git_config() in order to
determine which l/stat implementation to bind to.
In order to solve this problem, we modify git_config() so that the
global state variables used by the config reading code is packaged
up and managed on a local state stack.

config.c
Previously we parsed GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS lazily into a
linked list, and then checked that list during future
invocations of git_config. However, that ignores the fact
that the environment variable could change during our run
(e.g., because we parse more "-c" as part of an alias).
Instead, let's just re-parse the environment variable each
time. It's generally not very big, and it's no more work
than parsing the config files, anyway.
As a bonus, we can ditch all of the linked list storage code
entirely, making the code much simpler.
The test unfortunately still does not pass because of an
unrelated bug in handle_options.

Yes, it is clear that "eol" wants to mean some sort of end-of-line thing,
but as the name of a global variable, it is way too short to describe what
kind of end-of-line thing it wants to represent. Besides, there are many
codepaths that want to use their own local "char *eol" variable to point
at the end of the current line they are processing.
This global variable holds what we read from core.eol configuration
variable. Name it as such.

In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:
struct foo {
int bar;
char *baz;
};
Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.
These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.
We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.
This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.

Sanity-check config variable names when adding and retrieving them. As a side

This breaks a test in t1300 which used invalid section-less keys in the tests

Users are sometimes confused with two different types of "tracking" behavior
in Git: "remote-tracking" branches (e.g. refs/remotes/*/*) versus the
merge/rebase relationship between a local branch and its @{upstream}
(controlled by branch.foo.remote and branch.foo.merge config settings).
When the push.default is set to 'tracking', it specifies that a branch should
be pushed to its @{upstream} branch. In other words, setting push.default to
'tracking' applies only to the latter of the above two types of "tracking"
behavior.
In order to make this more understandable to the user, we rename the
push.default == 'tracking' option to push.default == 'upstream'.
push.default == 'tracking' is left as a deprecated synonym for 'upstream'.

This function recently gained the ability to recognize the documented "0"
and "1" values as false/true. However, unlike regular git_config_bool, it
did not treat arbitrary non-zero numbers as true.
While this is undocumented and probably ridiculous for somebody to rely
on, it is safer to behave exactly as git_config_bool would. Because
git_config_maybe_bool can be used to retrofit new non-bool values onto
existing bool options, not behaving in exactly the same way is technically
a regression.

We explicitly document "0" and "1" as synonyms for "false"
and "true" in boolean config options. However, we don't
actually handle those values in git_config_maybe_bool.
In most cases this works fine, as we call git_config_bool,
which in turn calls git_config_bool_or_int, which in turn
calls git_config_maybe_bool. Values of 0/1 are considered
"not bool", but their integer values end up being converted
to the corresponding boolean values.
However, the log.decorate code looks for maybe_bool
explicitly, so that it can fall back to the "short" and
"full" strings. It does not handle 0/1 at all, and considers
them invalid values.
We cannot simply add 0/1 support to git_config_maybe_bool.
That would confuse git_config_bool_or_int, which may want to
distinguish the integer values "0" and "1" from bools.

Even though git makes sure that it uses enough hexdigits to show an
abbreviated object name unambiguously, as more objects are added to the

to make the object name currently unique, in the hope that its output will

The git_config() function signals error by returning -1 in
two instances:
1. An actual error occurs in opening a config file (parse
errors cause an immediate die).
2. Of the three possible config files, none was found.
However, this second case is often not an error at all; it
simply means that the user has no configuration (they are
outside a repo, and they have no ~/.gitconfig file). This
can lead to confusing errors, such as when the bash
completion calls "git config --list" outside of a repo. If
the user has a ~/.gitconfig, the command completes
succesfully; if they do not, it complains to stderr.
This patch allows callers of git_config to distinguish
between the two cases. Error is signaled by -1, and
otherwise the return value is the number of files parsed.
This means that the traditional "git_config(...) < 0" check
for error should work, but callers who want to know whether
we parsed any files or not can still do so.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are

get_commit_notes(): Plug memory leak when 'if' triggers, but not because of read_sha1_file() failure
In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:
- write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+ strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+ write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+ strbuf_reset(&buf);
IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,
static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
{
return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
}
and then use it like this:
- strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
- write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
- strbuf_reset(&buf);
+ write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");
Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.
Transformed via this:
perl -pi -e \
's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\

Configuration values are expected to be quoted when they have leading or

the value is not quoted. This is already documented in git-config(1), but
the code caused inner whitespace to be collapsed to a single space,

in it, as future fetches would only see a single space.

It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping

As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work

character(s) and puts -one- space character in the buffer as soon as
the first non-space character is encountered (if not inside quotes).
Unfortunately the buffer size check lacks the extra space character
which gets inserted at the next non-space character, resulting in

configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

In dc871831(Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not other programs),
GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL was rested in peace, in favor of not reading
/etc/gitconfig and $HOME/.gitconfig at all when GIT_CONFIG is set.

This can do the lstat() storm in parallel, giving potentially much
improved performance for cold-cache cases or things like NFS that have
weak metadata caching.
Just use "read_cache_preload()" instead of "read_cache()" to force an
optimistic preload of the index stat data. The function takes a
pathspec as its argument, allowing us to preload only the relevant
portion of the index.

Many call sites use strbuf_init(&foo, 0) to initialize local
strbuf variable "foo" which has not been accessed since its
declaration. These can be replaced with a static initialization
using the STRBUF_INIT macro which is just as readable, saves a
function call, and takes up fewer lines.

Unfortunately, the abomination of Windows Notepad likes to scatted
non-sensical UTF8 BOM marks across text files it edits. This is
especially troublesome when editing the Git configuration file,
and it does not appear to be particularly harmful to teach Git
to deal with this poo in the configfile.

A new configuration variable 'core.trustctime' is introduced to
allow ignoring st_ctime information when checking if paths
in the working tree has changed, because there are situations where
it produces too much false positives. Like when file system crawlers
keep changing it when scanning and using the ctime for marking scanned
files.
The default is to notice ctime changes.

Expanding system paths relative to git_exec_path can be used for
creating an installation that can be moved to a different directory
without re-compiling. We use this approach for template_dir and the
system wide gitconfig. The Windows installer (msysgit) is an example
for such a setup.
This commit moves common code to a new function system_path(). System
paths that are to be interpreted relative to git_exec_path are passed to
system_path() and the return value is used instead of the original path.
system_path() prefixes a relative path with git_exec_path and leaves
absolute paths unmodified. For example, we now write
template_dir = system_path(DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR);

For everything other than using "git config" to read or write a
git-style config file that isn't the current repo's config file,
GIT_CONFIG was actively detrimental. Rather than argue over which
programs are important enough to have work anyway, just fix all of
them at the root.
Also removes GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, which would only be useful for programs
that do want to use global git-specific config, but not the repo's own
git-specific config, and want to use some other, presumably
git-specific config. Despite being documented, I can't find any sign that
it was ever used.

* lt/config-fsync:
Add config option to enable 'fsync()' of object files
Split up default "i18n" and "branch" config parsing into helper routines
Split up default "user" config parsing into helper routine
Split up default "core" config parsing into helper routine
As explained in the documentation[*] this is totally useless on
filesystems that do ordered/journalled data writes, but it can be a
useful safety feature on filesystems like HFS+ that only journal the
metadata, not the actual file contents.
It defaults to off, although we could presumably in theory some day
auto-enable it on a per-filesystem basis.
[*] Yes, I updated the docs for the thing. Hell really _has_ frozen
over, and the four horsemen are probably just beyond the horizon.
