b5967f820c tests: cleanup binary test vector files
The test4012.png test vector file that was originally used for t4012 to
check operations on binary files was later reused in other tests, making
it no longer consistent to name it after a specific test. Rename it to more
generic "test-binary-1.png".

While at it, rename test9200b to "test-binary-2.png" (even though it is
only used by t9200).

5960bc9d63 rebase: clarify "restore the original branch"
The description for 'git rebase --abort' currently says:

    Restore the original branch and abort the rebase operation.

The "restore" can be misinterpreted to imply that the original branch
was somehow in a broken state during the rebase operation. It is also
not completely clear what "the original branch" is --- is it the
branch that was checked out before the rebase operation was called or
is the the branch that is being rebased (it is the latter)? Although
both issues are made clear in the DESCRIPTION section, let us also
make the entry in the OPTIONS secion more clear.

Also remove the term "rebasing process" from the usage text, since the
user already knows that the text is about "git rebase".

7d092adc8f get_pwd_cwd(): Do not trust st_dev/st_ino blindly
10c4c88 (Allow add_path() to add non-existent directories to the path,
2008-07-21) introduced get_pwd_cwd() function in order to favor $PWD when
getenv("PWD") and getcwd() refer to the same directory but are different
strings (e.g. the former gives a nicer looking name via a symbolic link to
an uglier looking automounted path). The function tried to determine if
two directories are the same by running stat(2) on both and comparing
ino/dev fields.

Unfortunately, stat() does not fill any ino or dev fields in msysgit.  But
there is a telltale: both ino and dev are 0 when they are not filled
correctly, so let's be extra cautious.

This happens to fix a bug in "get-receive-pack working_directory/" when
the GIT_DIR would not be set correctly due to absolute_path(".")
returning the wrong value.

c5bcf1f9f6 checkout: do not write bogus reflog entry out
As resolve_ref() returns a static buffer that is local to the function,
the caller needs to be sure that it will not have any other calls to the
function before it uses the returned value, or store it away with a
strdup().  The code used old.path to record which branch it used to be on,
so that it can say between which branches the switch took place in the
reflog, but sometimes it failed to do so.

7791a1d9b9 Documentation: use [verse] for SYNOPSIS sections
The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already
use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span
several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse]
does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section
indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that
use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections
for consistency.

Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to
align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which
already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to
the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting
within the document more consistent.

While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with
other commands.

e8c3531717 gitweb: Serve */*+xml 'blob_plain' as text/plain with $prevent_xss
Enhance usability of 'blob_plain' view protection against XSS attacks
(enabled by setting $prevent_xss to true) by serving contents inline
as safe 'text/plain' mimetype where possible, instead of serving with
"Content-Disposition: attachment" to make sure they don't run in
gitweb's security domain.

This patch broadens downgrading to 'text/plain' further, to any
*/*+xml mimetype.  This includes:

  application/xhtml+xml    (*.xhtml, *.xht)
  application/atom+xml     (*.atom)
  application/rss+xml      (*.rss)
  application/mathml+xm    (*.mathml)
  application/docbook+xml  (*.docbook)
  image/svg+xml            (*.svg, *.svgz)

Probably most useful is serving XHTML files as text/plain in
'blob_plain' view, directly viewable.

Because file with 'image/svg+xml' mimetype can be compressed SVGZ
file, we have to check if */*+xml really is text file, via '-T $fd'.

86afbd02c8 gitweb: Serve text/* 'blob_plain' as text/plain with $prevent_xss
One of mechanism enabled by setting $prevent_xss to true is 'blob_plain'
view protection.  With XSS prevention on, blobs of all types except a
few known safe ones are served with "Content-Disposition: attachment" to
make sure they don't run in our security domain.

Instead of serving text/* type files, except text/plain (and including
text/html), as attachements, downgrade it to text/plain.  This way HTML
pages in 'blob_plain' (raw) view would be displayed in browser, but
safely as a source, and not asked to be saved.

4dca1aa650 git-submodule.sh: preserve stdin for the command spawned by foreach
The user-supplied command spawned by 'submodule foreach' loses its
connection to the original standard input.  Instead, it is connected to the
output of a pipe within the git-submodule script.  The user-supplied
command supplied to 'submodule foreach' is spawned within a while loop
which is being piped into.  Due to the way shells implement piping output
to a while loop, a subshell is created with its standard input attached to
the output of the pipe.  This results in all of the commands executed
within the while loop to have their stdins modified in the same way,
including the user-supplied command.

This can cause a problem if the command requires reading from stdin or if
it changes its behavior based on whether stdin is a tty or not.  For
example, this problem was noticed when trying to execute the following:

   git submodule foreach git shortlog --since=two.weeks.ago

which printed a message about entering the first submodule and produced no
further output and exited with a status of zero.  In this case, shortlog
detected that it was not connected to a tty, and since no revision was
supplied as an argument, it attempted to read the list of revisions from
standard input.  Instead, it slurped up the list of submodules that was
being piped to the enclosing while loop and caused that loop to end early
without processing the remaining submodules.

Work around this behavior by saving the original standard input file
descriptor before the while loop, and restoring it when spawning the
user-supplied command.

This fixes the tests in t7407.

b586744a86 test: skip clean-up when running under --immediate mode
Some tests try to be too careful about cleaning themselves up and
do

    test_expect_success description '
        set-up some test refs and/or configuration &&
        test_when_finished "revert the above changes" &&
	the real test
    '

Which is nice to make sure that a potential failure would not have
unexpected interaction with the next test. This however interferes when
"the real test" fails and we want to see what is going on, by running the
test with --immediate mode and descending into its trash directory after
the test stops. The precondition to run the real test and cause it to fail
is all gone after the clean-up procedure defined by test_when_finished is
done.

Update test_run_ which is the workhorse of running a test script
called from test_expect_success and test_expect_failure, so that we do not
run clean-up script defined with test_when_finished when a test that is
expected to succeed fails under the --immediate mode.

27269fc5f2 Documentation/i18n: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
As explained in v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work around em-dash handling in newer
AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23), if double dashes in names of commands are not
escaped, AsciiDoc renders them as em dashes.

While fixing that, spell the command name as "git sh-i18n--envsubst"
(2 words) instead of emphasizing the name of the binary (one
hyphenated name) and format it in italics.

The double-dash in the title should be escaped, too, to avoid spurious
em dashes in the header:

  .TH "GIT\-SH\-I18N\(emENVSUB" "1" "06/26/2011" "Git 1\&.7\&.6" "Git Manual"

AsciiDoc 8.6.4 with DocBook XSL 1.76.0-RC1 copes fine and writes
"GIT\-SH\-I18N\-\-ENVSUB" even without this change, which is why it
was missed before.

565e135a1e Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
AsciiDoc versions since 5.0.6 treat a double-dash surrounded by spaces
(outside of verbatim environments) as a request to insert an em dash.
Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not
followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus
signs.  Thus from time to time there have been patches to add
backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant
to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line;
see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly,
2006-05-05, for example.

AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating
double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash,
though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages
(e.g., HTML).  Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash
before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see
v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30).

AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that
requirement.  Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not
rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by
alphanumeric characters.  The unescaped markup for option names (e.g.,
"--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into
Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em
dashes when formatted by an older toolchain.  (This patch will not
change that.)

The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git
web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash
by current asciidoc.  Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in
sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line
argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use
"{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command
name.  The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work
around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23).

2cd9de3e18 submodule add: always initialize .git/config entry
When "git submodule add $path" is run to add a subdirectory $path to the
superproject, and $path is already the top of the working tree of the
submodule repository, the command created submodule.$path.url entry in the
configuration file in the superproject. However, when adding a repository
$URL that is outside the respository of the superproject to $path that
does not exist (yet) with "git submodule add $URL $path", the command
forgot to set it up.

The user is expressing the interest in the submodule and wants to keep a
checkout, the "submodule add" command should consistently set up the
submodule.$path.url entry in either case.

As a result "git submodule init" can't simply skip the initialization of
those submodules for which it finds an url entry in the git./config
anymore. That lead to problems when adding a submodule (which now sets the
url), add the "update" setting to .gitmodules and expect init to copy that
into .git/config like it is done in t7406. So change init to only then
copy the "url" and "update" entries when they don't exist yet in the
.git/config and do nothing otherwise.

ccee60862b submodule sync: do not auto-vivify uninteresting submodule
Earlier 33f072f (submodule sync: Update "submodule.<name>.url" for empty
directories, 2010-10-08) attempted to fix a bug where "git submodule sync"
command does not update the URL if the current superproject does not have
a checkout of the submodule.

However, it did so by unconditionally registering submodule.$name.url to
every submodule in the project, even the ones that the user has never
showed interest in at all by running 'git submodule init' command. This
caused subsequent 'git submodule update' to start cloning/updating submodules
that are not interesting to the user at all.

Update the code so that the URL is updated from the .gitmodules file only
for submodules that already have submodule.$name.url entries, i.e. the
ones the user has showed interested in having a checkout.

67393c5dc9 glossary: clarify description of HEAD
HEAD on a branch does reference a commit via the branch ref it refers to.
The main difference of a detached HEAD is that it _directly_ refers to
a commit.  Clarify this.

487b04411d glossary: update description of "tag"
It is an unimportant implementation detail that ref namespaces are
implemented as subdirectories of $GIT_DIR/refs. What is more important
is that tags are in refs/tags hierarchy in the ref namespace.

Also note that a tag can point at an object of arbitrary type, not limited
to commit.

0abcfbff4d git.txt: de-emphasize the implementation detail of a ref
It is an unimportant implementation detail that branches and tags are
stored somewhere under $GIT_DIR/refs directory, or the name of the commit
that will become the parent of the next commit is stored in $GIT_DIR/HEAD.

What is more important is that branches live in refs/heads and tags live
in refs/tags hierarchy in the ref namespace, and HEAD means the tip of the
current branch.

0aceb22097 git-remote.txt: avoid sounding as if loose refs are the only ones in the world
It was correct to say "The file $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master stores the
commit object name at the tip of the master branch" in the older days,
but not anymore, as refs can be packed into $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file.

Update the document to talk in terms of a more abstract concept "ref" and
"symbolic ref" where we are not describing the underlying implementation
detail.

This on purpose leaves two instances of $GIT_DIR/ in the git-remote
documentation; they do talk about $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and $GIT_DIR/branches/
file hierarchy that used to be the place to store configuration around
remotes before the configuration mechanism took them over.

d9a25fca5f Makefile: Track changes to LDFLAGS and relink when necessary
Some profiling tools (e.g., google-perftools and mutrace) work by
linking in a new library into the executables. When using these tools
it is convenient to only relink instead of doing a full make clean;
make cycle.

This change complements the auto-detection of changes to CFLAGS that
we already have. Tracking of more variables that affect the build can
be added when the need arise.

2f1d9e2b93 strbuf: allow strbuf_split to work on non-strbufs
The strbuf_split function takes a strbuf as input, and
outputs a list of strbufs. However, there is no reason that
the input has to be a strbuf, and not an arbitrary buffer.

This patch adds strbuf_split_buf for a length-delimited
buffer, and strbuf_split_str for NUL-terminated strings.

1c2c9bee1b config: die on error in command-line config
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.

5bf6529aaa fix "git -c" parsing of values with equals signs
If you do something like:

  git -c core.foo="value with = in it" ...

we would split your option on "=" into three fields and
throw away the third one. With this patch we correctly take
everything after the first "=" as the value (keys cannot
have an equals sign in them, so the parsing is unambiguous).
