b4dc085a8d pull: merge into unborn by fast-forwarding from empty tree
The logic for pulling into an unborn branch was originally
designed to be used on a newly-initialized repository
(d09e79c, git-pull: allow pulling into an empty repository,
2006-11-16).  It thus did not initially deal with
uncommitted changes in the unborn branch.  The case of an
_unstaged_ untracked file was fixed by 4b3ffe5 (pull: do not
clobber untracked files on initial pull, 2011-03-25).
However, it still clobbered existing staged files, both when
the file exists in the merged commit (it will be
overwritten), and when it does not (it will be deleted).

We fix this by doing a two-way merge, where the "current"
side of the merge is an empty tree, and the "target" side is
HEAD (already updated to FETCH_HEAD at this point).  This
amounts to claiming that all work in the index was done vs.
an empty tree, and thus all content of the index is
precious.

Note that this use of read-tree just gives us protection
against overwriting index and working tree changes. It will
not actually result in a 3-way merge conflict in the index.
This is fine, as this is a rare situation, and the conflict
would not be interesting anyway (it must, by definition, be
an add/add conflict with the whole content conflicting). And
it makes it simpler for the user to recover, as they have no
HEAD to "git reset" back to.

9f48f2bd9a pull: update unborn branch tip after index
When commit d09e79c taught git to pull into an unborn
branch, it first updated the unborn branch to point at the
pulled commit, and then used read-tree to update the index
and working tree. That ordering made sense, since any
failure of the latter step would be due to filesystem
errors, and one could then recover with "git reset --hard".

Later, commit 4b3ffe5 added extra safety for existing files
in the working tree by asking read-tree to bail out when it
would overwrite such a file. This error mode is much less
"your pull failed due to random errors" and more like "we
reject this pull because it would lose data". In that case,
it makes sense not to update the HEAD ref, just as a regular
rejected merge would do.

This patch reverses the order of the update-ref and
read-tree calls, so that we do not touch the HEAD ref at all if a
merge is rejected. This also means that we would not update
HEAD in case of a transient filesystem error, but those are
presumably less rare (and one can still recover by repeating
the pull, or by accessing FETCH_HEAD directly).

While we're reorganizing the code, we can drop the "exit 1"
from the end of our command chain. We exit immediately
either way, and just calling exit without an argument will
use the exit code from the last command.

5d478f5ca1 refs: do not invalidate the packed-refs cache unnecessarily
Now that we keep track of the packed-refs file metadata, we can detect
when the packed-refs file has been modified since we last read it, and
we do so automatically every time that get_packed_ref_cache() is
called.  So there is no need to invalidate the cache automatically
when lock_packed_refs() is called; usually the old copy will still be
valid.

98eeb09e8a for_each_ref: load all loose refs before packed refs
If we are iterating through the refs using for_each_ref (or
any of its sister functions), we can get into a race
condition with a simultaneous "pack-refs --prune" that looks
like this:

  0. We have a large number of loose refs, and a few packed
     refs. refs/heads/z/foo is loose, with no matching entry
     in the packed-refs file.

  1. Process A starts iterating through the refs. It loads
     the packed-refs file from disk, then starts lazily
     traversing through the loose ref directories.

  2. Process B, running "pack-refs --prune", writes out the
     new packed-refs file. It then deletes the newly packed
     refs, including refs/heads/z/foo.

  3. Meanwhile, process A has finally gotten to
     refs/heads/z (it traverses alphabetically). It
     descends, but finds nothing there.  It checks its
     cached view of the packed-refs file, but it does not
     mention anything in "refs/heads/z/" at all (it predates
     the new file written by B in step 2).

The traversal completes successfully without mentioning
refs/heads/z/foo at all (the name, of course, isn't
important; but the more refs you have and the farther down
the alphabetical list a ref is, the more likely it is to hit
the race). If refs/heads/z/foo did exist in the packed refs
file at state 0, we would see an entry for it, but it would
show whatever sha1 the ref had the last time it was packed
(which could be an arbitrarily long time ago).

This can be especially dangerous when process A is "git
prune", as it means our set of reachable tips will be
incomplete, and we may erroneously prune objects reachable
from that tip (the same thing can happen if "repack -ad" is
used, as it simply drops unreachable objects that are
packed).

This patch solves it by loading all of the loose refs for
our traversal into our in-memory cache, and then refreshing
the packed-refs cache. Because a pack-refs writer will
always put the new packed-refs file into place before
starting the prune, we know that any loose refs we fail to
see will either truly be missing, or will have already been
put in the packed-refs file by the time we refresh.

ca9199300e get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it changes
Once we read the packed-refs file into memory, we cache it
to save work on future ref lookups. However, our cache may
be out of date with respect to what is on disk if another
process is simultaneously packing the refs. Normally it
is acceptable for us to be a little out of date, since there
is no guarantee whether we read the file before or after the
simultaneous update. However, there is an important special
case: our packed-refs file must be up to date with respect
to any loose refs we read. Otherwise, we risk the following
race condition:

  0. There exists a loose ref refs/heads/master.

  1. Process A starts and looks up the ref "master". It
     first checks $GIT_DIR/master, which does not exist. It
     then loads (and caches) the packed-refs file to see if
     "master" exists in it, which it does not.

  2. Meanwhile, process B runs "pack-refs --all --prune". It
     creates a new packed-refs file which contains
     refs/heads/master, and removes the loose copy at
     $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master.

  3. Process A continues its lookup, and eventually tries
     $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master.  It sees that the loose ref
     is missing, and falls back to the packed-refs file. But
     it examines its cached version, which does not have
     refs/heads/master. After trying a few other prefixes,
     it reports master as a non-existent ref.

There are many variants (e.g., step 1 may involve process A
looking up another ref entirely, so even a fully qualified
refname can fail). One of the most interesting ones is if
"refs/heads/master" is already packed. In that case process
A will not see it as missing, but rather will report
whatever value happened to be in the packed-refs file before
process B repacked (which might be an arbitrarily old
value).

We can fix this by making sure we reload the packed-refs
file from disk after looking at any loose refs. That's
unacceptably slow, so we can check its stat()-validity as a
proxy, and read it only when it appears to have changed.

Reading the packed-refs file after performing any loose-ref
system calls is sufficient because we know the ordering of
the pack-refs process: it always makes sure the newly
written packed-refs file is installed into place before
pruning any loose refs. As long as those operations by B
appear in their executed order to process A, by the time A
sees the missing loose ref, the new packed-refs file must be
in place.

3861253224 add a stat_validity struct
It can sometimes be useful to know whether a path in the
filesystem has been updated without going to the work of
opening and re-reading its content. We trust the stat()
information on disk already to handle index updates, and we
can use the same trick here.

This patch introduces a "stat_validity" struct which
encapsulates the concept of checking the stat-freshness of a
file. It is implemented on top of "struct stat_data" to
reuse the logic about which stat entries to trust for a
particular platform, but hides the complexity behind two
simple functions: check and update.

36617af7ed diff: add --ignore-blank-lines option
The goal of the patch is to introduce the GNU diff
-B/--ignore-blank-lines as closely as possible. The short option is not
available because it's already used for "break-rewrites".

When this option is used, git-diff will not create hunks that simply
add or remove empty lines, but will still show empty lines
addition/suppression if they are close enough to "valuable" changes.

There are two differences between this option and GNU diff -B option:
- GNU diff doesn't have "--inter-hunk-context", so this must be handled
- The following sequence looks like a bug (context is displayed twice):

    $ seq 5 >file1
    $ cat <<EOF >file2
    change
    1
    2

    3
    4
    5
    change
    EOF
    $ diff -u -B file1 file2
    --- file1	2013-06-08 22:13:04.471517834 +0200

    @@ -3,3 +5,4 @@
     3
     4

So here is a more thorough description of the option:
- real changes are interesting
- blank lines that are close enough (less than context size) to
interesting changes are considered interesting (recursive definition)
- "context" lines are used around each hunk of interesting changes
- If two hunks are separated by less than "inter-hunk-context", they
will be merged into one.

The implementation does the "interesting changes selection" in a single
pass.

fcb7c76274 resolve_ref_unsafe(): close race condition reading loose refs
We read loose references in two steps.  The code is roughly:

    lstat()
    if error ENOENT:
        loose ref is missing; look for corresponding packed ref
    else if S_ISLNK:
        readlink()
        if error:
            report failure
    else if S_ISDIR:
        report failure
    else
        open()
        if error:
            report failure
        read()

The problem is that the first filesystem call, to lstat(), is not
atomic with the second filesystem call, to readlink() or open().
Therefore it is possible for another process to change the file
between our two calls, for example:

* If the other process deletes the file, our second call will fail
  with ENOENT, which we *should* interpret as "loose ref is missing;
  look for corresponding packed ref".  This can arise if the other
  process is pack-refs; it might have just written a new packed-refs
  file containing the old contents of the reference then deleted the
  loose ref.

* If the other process changes a symlink into a plain file, our call
  to readlink() will fail with EINVAL, which we *should* respond to by
  trying to open() and read() the file.

The old code treats the reference as missing in both of these cases,
which is incorrect.

So instead, handle errors more selectively: if the result of
readline()/open() is a failure that is inconsistent with the result of
the previous lstat(), then something is fishy.  In this case jump back
and start over again with a fresh call to lstat().

One race is still possible and undetected: another process could
change the file from a regular file into a symlink between the call to
lstat and the call to open().  The open() call would silently follow
the symlink and not know that something is wrong.  This situation
could be detected in two ways:

* On systems that support O_NOFOLLOW, pass that option to the open().

* On other systems, call fstat() on the fd returned by open() and make
  sure that it agrees with the stat info from the original lstat().

However, we don't use symlinks anymore, so this situation is unlikely.
Moreover, it doesn't appear that treating a symlink as a regular file
would have grave consequences; after all, this is exactly how the code
handles non-relative symlinks.  So this commit leaves that race
unaddressed.

Note that this solves only the part of the race within
resolve_ref_unsafe. In the situation described above, we may still be
depending on a cached view of the packed-refs file; that race will be
dealt with in a future patch.

This problem was reported and diagnosed by Jeff King <peff@peff.net>,
and this solution is derived from his patch.

a94cf2cb7e http.c: don't rewrite the user:passwd string multiple times
Curl older than 7.17 (RHEL 4.X provides 7.12 and RHEL 5.X provides
7.15) requires that we manage any strings that we pass to it as
pointers.  So, we really shouldn't be modifying this strbuf after we
have passed it to curl.

Our interaction with curl is currently safe (before or after this
patch) since the pointer that is passed to curl is never invalidated;
it is repeatedly rewritten with the same sequence of characters but
the strbuf functions never need to allocate a larger string, so the
same memory buffer is reused.

This "guarantee" of safety is somewhat subtle and could be overlooked
by someone who may want to add a more complex handling of the username
and password.  So, let's stop modifying this strbuf after we have
passed it to curl, but also leave a note to describe the assumptions
that have been made about username/password lifetime and to draw

98c5c4ad01 name-rev: allow to specify a subpath for --refs option
When an user wants to filter specific ref using the --refs option,
the pattern needs to match the full ref, e.g. --refs=refs/tags/v1.*.

It'd be convenient to specify a subpath of ref pattern.  For
example, --refs=origin/* can find refs/remotes/origin/master by
searching the pattern against its substrings in turn:

  refs/remotes/origin/master
  remotes/origin/master
  origin/master

If it finds a match in a subpath, unambigous part of the ref path will
be removed in the output.

76b80cdf17 Documentation/git-merge.txt: weaken warning about uncommited changes
Commit 35d2fffd introduced 'git merge --abort' as a synonym to 'git reset
--merge', and added some failing tests in t7611-merge-abort.sh (search
'###' in this file) showing that 'git merge --abort' could not always
recover the pre-merge state.

Still, in many cases, 'git merge --abort' just works, and it is usually
considered that the ability to start a merge with uncommited changes is
an important property of Git.

Weaken the warning by discouraging only merge with /non-trivial/
uncommited changes.

9d58c4a3e3 t/t9802: explicitly name the upstream branch to use as a base
Prior to commit fa83a33b, the 'git checkout' DWIMery would create a
new local branch if the specified branch name did not exist and it
matched exactly one ref in the "remotes" namespace.  It searched
the "remotes" namespace for matching refs using a simple comparison
of the trailing portion of the remote ref names.  This approach
could sometimes produce false positives or negatives.

Since fa83a33b, the DWIMery more strictly excludes the remote name
from the ref comparison by iterating through the remotes that are
configured in the .gitconfig file.  This has the side-effect that
any refs that exist in the "remotes" namespace, but do not match
the destination side of any remote refspec, will not be used by
the DWIMery.

This change in behavior breaks the tests in t9802 which relied on
the old behavior of searching all refs in the remotes namespace,
since the git-p4 script does not configure any remotes in the
.gitconfig.  Let's work around this in these tests by explicitly
naming the upstream branch to base the new local branch on when
calling 'git checkout'.

984f78d278 rebase topology tests: fix commit names on case-insensitive file systems
The recently introduced tests used uppercase letters to denote
cherry-picks of commits having the corresponding lowercase letter names.
The helper functions also set up tags with the names of the commits.

But this constellation fails on case-insensitive file systems because
there cannot be distinct tags with names that differ only in case.

Use a less subtle convention for the names of cherry-picked commits.

2c48420232 builtin/checkout.c: don't leak memory in check_tracking_name
remote_find_tracking() populates the query struct with an allocated
string in the dst member.  So, we do not need to xstrdup() the string,
since we can transfer ownership from the query struct (which will go
out of scope at the end of this function) to our callback struct, but
we must free the string if it will not be used so we will not leak
memory.

Let's do so.

091a6eb0fe submodule: drop the top-level requirement
Use the new rev-parse --prefix option to process all paths given to the
submodule command, dropping the requirement that it be run from the
top-level of the repository.

Since the interpretation of a relative submodule URL depends on whether
or not "remote.origin.url" is configured, explicitly block relative URLs
in "git submodule add" when not at the top level of the working tree.
