I noticed this when "git am CORRUPTED" unexpectedly failed with an
odd diagnostic, and even removed one of the files it was supposed
to have patched.
Reproduce with any valid old/new patch from which you have removed
the "+++ b/FILE" line. You'll see a diagnostic like this
fatal: unable to write file '(null)' mode 100644: Bad address
and you'll find that FILE has been removed.
The above is on glibc-based systems. On other systems, rather than
getting "null", you may provoke a segfault as git tries to
dereference the NULL file name.

The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put
into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger
architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB.
But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate
limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and
avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept)
fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt.
In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a
large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to
avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of
the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around
z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of
used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which
practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit.
Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in
and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives
a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the
series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to
give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can
operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

* jc/maint-add-p-overlapping-hunks:
t3701: add-p-fix makes the last test to pass
"add -p": work-around an old laziness that does not coalesce hunks
add--interactive.perl: factor out repeated --recount option
t3701: Editing a split hunk in an "add -p" session
add -p: 'q' should really quit
Since 0beee4c (git-add--interactive: remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02),
"git add--interactive" behaves lazily and passes overlapping hunks to the
underlying "git apply" without coalescing. This was partially corrected
by 7a26e65 (its partial revert, 2009-05-16), but overlapping hunks are
still passed when the patch is edited.
Teach "git apply" the --allow-overlap option that disables a safety
feature that avoids misapplication of patches by not applying patches
to overlapping hunks, and pass this option form "add -p" codepath.
Do not even advertise the option, as this is merely a workaround, and the
correct fix is to make "add -p" correctly coalesce adjacent patch hunks.

When the line number the patch intended to touch does not match
the line in the version being patched, GNU patch reports that
it applied the hunk at a different line number, with how big an
offset.
Teach "git apply" to do the same under --verbose option.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When looking for a place to apply a hunk, we used to check lines that
match the preimage of it, starting from the line that the patch wants to
apply the hunk at, looking forward and backward with increasing offsets
until we find a match.
Colin Guthrie found an interesting case where this misapplied a patch that
wanted to touch a preimage that consists of
}
}
return 0;
}
which is a rather unfortunately common pattern.
The target version of the file originally had only one such location, but
the hunk immediately before that created another instance of such block of
lines, and find_pos() happily reported that the preimage of the hunk
matched what it wanted to modify.
Oops.
By marking the lines application of earlier hunks touched and preventing
match_fragment() from considering them as a match with preimage of other
hunks, we can reduce such an accident.
I also considered to teach apply_one_fragment() to take the offset we have
found while applying the previous hunk into account when looking for a
match with find_pos(), but dismissed that approach, because it would
sometimes work better but sometimes worse, depending on the difference
between the version the patch was created against and the version the
patch is being applied.
This does _not_ prevent misapplication of patches to a file that has many
similar looking blocks of lines and a preimage cannot identify which one
of them should be applied. For that, we would need to scan beyond the
first match in find_pos(), and issue a warning (or error out). That will
be a separate topic.

Some patches have a timezone formatted like '-08:00' instead of
'-0800' in their ---/+++ lines (e.g. http://lwn.net/Articles/131729/).
Take this into account when searching for the start of the timezone
(which is the end of the filename).
This does not actually affect the outcome of patching unless (1) a
file being patched has a non-' ' whitespace character (e.g., tab) in
its filename, or (2) the patch is whitespace-damaged, so the tab
between filename and timestamp has been replaced with spaces.

Usually when applying a binary diff generated without
--binary, it will be rejected early, as we don't even have
the full sha1 of the pre- and post-images.
However, if the diff is generated with --full-index (but not
--binary), then we will actually try to apply it. If we have
the postimage blob, then we can take a shortcut and never
even look at the binary diff at all (e.g., this can happen
when rebasing changes within a repository).
If we don't have the postimage blob, though, we try to look
at the actual fragments, of which there are none, and get a
segfault. This patch checks explicitly for that case and
complains to the user instead of segfaulting. We need to
keep the check at a low level so that the "shortcut" case
above continues to work.
We also add a test that demonstrates the segfault. While
we're at it, let's also explicitly test the shortcut case.

Some patches have a timezone formatted like ‘-08:00’ instead of
‘-0800’ (e.g. http://lwn.net/Articles/131729/), so git apply would
fail to recognize the epoch timestamp of deleted files and would
create empty files instead. Teach it to support both formats, and add
a test case.

To discover filenames from the --- and +++ lines in a traditional
unified diff, currently "git apply" scans forward for a whitespace
character on each line and stops there. It can't use the whole line
because "diff -u" likes to include timestamps, like so:
--- foo 2000-07-12 16:56:50.020000414 -0500
+++ bar 2010-07-12 16:56:50.020000414 -0500
The whitespace-seeking heuristic works great, even when the tab
has been converted to spaces by some email + copy-and-paste
related corruption.
Except for one problem: if the filename itself contains whitespace,
the inferred filename will be too short.
When Giuseppe ran into this problem, it was for a file creation
patch (for debian/licenses/LICENSE.global BSD-style Chromium).
So one can't use the list of files present in the index to deduce an
appropriate filename (not to mention that way lies madness; see
v0.99~402, 2005-05-31).
Instead, look for a timestamp and use that if present to mark the end
of the filename. If no timestamp is present, the old heuristic is
used, with one exception: the space character \040 is not considered
terminating whitespace any more unless it is followed by a timestamp.

With v1.5.3.2~14 (apply --index-info: fall back to current index for
mode changes, 2007-09-17), git apply learned to stop worrying
about the lack of diff index line when a file already present in the
current index had no content change.
But it still worries too much: for rename patches, it is checking
that both the old and new filename are present in the current
index. This makes no sense, since a file rename generally
involves creating a file there was none before.
So just check the old filename.
Noticed while trying to use “git rebase” with diff.renames = copies.

[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
