98aee92d5c refs: add update_refs for multiple simultaneous updates
Add 'struct ref_update' to encode the information needed to update or
delete a ref (name, new sha1, optional old sha1, no-deref flag).  Add
function 'update_refs' accepting an array of updates to perform.  First
sort the input array to order locks consistently everywhere and reject
multiple updates to the same ref.  Then acquire locks on all refs with
verified old values.  Then update or delete all refs accordingly.  Fail
if any one lock cannot be obtained or any one old value does not match.

Though the refs themselves cannot be modified together in a single
atomic transaction, this function does enable some useful semantics.
For example, a caller may create a new branch starting from the head of
another branch and rewind the original branch at the same time.  This
transfers ownership of commits between branches without risk of losing
commits added to the original branch by a concurrent process, or risk of
a concurrent process creating the new branch first.

16c159d75a t5308: check that index-pack --strict detects duplicate objects
Commit 68be2fea (receive-pack, fetch-pack: reject bogus pack that
records objects twice, 2011-11-16) taught index-pack to notice and
reject duplicate objects if --strict is given (which it is for
incoming packs, if transfer.fsckObjects is set).  However, it never
tested the code, because we did not have an easy way of generating
such a bogus pack.

Now that we have test infrastructure to handle this, let's confirm
that it works.

df17e77c0a add--interactive: fix external command invocation on Windows
Back in 21e9757e (Hack git-add--interactive to make it work with
ActiveState Perl, 2007-08-01), the invocation of external commands was
changed to use qx{} on Windows. The rationale was that the command
interpreter on Windows is not a POSIX shell, but rather Windows's CMD.
That patch was wrong to include 'msys' in the check whether to use qx{}
or not: 'msys' identifies MSYS perl as shipped with Git for Windows,
which does not need the special treatment; qx{} should be used only with
ActiveState perl, which is identified by 'MSWin32'.

9d57c4a697 git p4: implement view spec wildcards with "p4 where"
"git p4" does not support many of the view wildcards, such as * and
%%n.  It only knows the common ... mapping, and exclusions.

Redo the entire wildcard code around the idea of directly querying
the p4 server for the mapping.  For each commit, invoke "p4 where"
with committed file paths as args and use the client mapping to
decide where the file goes in git.

This simplifies a lot of code, and adds support for all wildcards
supported by p4.  Downside is that there is probably a 20%-ish
slowdown with this approach.

c969b6a18d peel_onion: do not assume length of x_type globals
When we are parsing "rev^{foo}", we check "foo" against the
various global type strings, like "commit_type",
"tree_type", etc. This is nicely abstracted, but then we
destroy the abstraction completely by using magic numbers
that must match the length of the type strings.

We could avoid these magic numbers by using skip_prefix. But
taking a step back, we can realize that using the
"commit_type" global is not really buying us anything. It is
not ever going to change from being "commit" without causing
severe breakage to existing uses. And even if it did change
for some crazy reason, we would want to evaluate its effects
on the "rev^{}" syntax, anyway.

Let's just switch these to using a custom string literal, as
we do for "rev^{object}". The resulting code is more robust
to changes in the type strings, and is more readable.

75aa26d34c peel_onion(): add support for <rev>^{tag}
Complete the <rev>^{<type>} family of object descriptors by having
<rev>^{tag} dereference <rev> until a tag object is found (or fail if
unable).

At first glance this may not seem very useful, as commits, trees, and
blobs cannot be peeled to a tag, and a tag would just peel to itself.
However, this can be used to ensure that <rev> names a tag object:

    $ git rev-parse --verify v1.8.4^{tag}
    04f013dc38
    $ git rev-parse --verify master^{tag}
    error: master^{tag}: expected tag type, but the object dereferences to tree type
    fatal: Needed a single revision

Users can already ensure that <rev> is a tag object by checking the
output of 'git cat-file -t <rev>', but:
  * users may expect <rev>^{tag} to exist given that <rev>^{commit},
    <rev>^{tree}, and <rev>^{blob} all exist
  * this syntax is more convenient/natural in some circumstances

c812be9d81 rev-parse test: use test_cmp instead of "test" builtin
Use test_cmp instead of passing two command substitutions to the
"test" builtin.  This way:

 - when tests fail, they can print a helpful diff if run with
   "--verbose"

 - the argument order "test_cmp expect actual" feels natural,
   unlike test <known> = <unknown> that seems backwards

 - the exit status from invoking git is checked, so if rev-parse
   starts segfaulting then the test will notice and fail

Use a custom function for this instead of test_cmp_rev to emphasize
that we are testing the output from "git rev-parse" with certain
arguments, not checking that the revisions are equal in abstract.

ed016612e6 pager: turn on "cat" optimization for DEFAULT_PAGER
If the user specifies a pager of "cat" (or the empty
string), whether it is in the environment or from config, we
automagically optimize it out to mean "no pager" and avoid
forking at all. We treat an empty pager variable similary.

However, we did not apply this optimization when
DEFAULT_PAGER was set to "cat" (or the empty string). There
is no reason to treat DEFAULT_PAGER any differently. The
optimization should not be user-visible (unless the user has
a bizarre "cat" in their PATH). And even if it is, we are
better off behaving consistently between the compile-time
default and the environment and config settings.

The stray "else" we are removing from this code was
introduced by 402461a (pager: do not fork a pager if PAGER
is set to empty., 2006-04-16). At that time, the line
directly above used:

   if (!pager)
	   pager = "less";

as a fallback, meaning that it could not possibly trigger
the optimization. Later, a3d023d (Provide a build time
default-pager setting, 2009-10-30) turned that constant into
a build-time setting which could be anything, but didn't
loosen the "else" to let DEFAULT_PAGER use the optimization.

 * We change line before "then", "do", etc. rather than terminating
   the condition for "if"/"while" and list for "for" with a
   semicolon;

 * When HERE document does not use any expansion, we quote the end

   that there is no funny substitution to worry about when reading
   the code.

 * We use "test" rather than "[".

fd87004e51 gitweb: Fix the author initials in blame for non-ASCII names
Change the @author_initials feature Jakub added in
v1.6.4-rc2-14-ga36817b to match non-ASCII author initials as intended.

The regexp Jakub added was intended to match
non-ASCII (/\b([[:upper:]])\B/g). But in Perl this doesn't actually
match non-ASCII upper-case characters unless the string being matched
against has the UTF8 flag.

So when we open a pipe to "git blame" we need to mark the file
descriptor we're opening as utf8 explicitly.

So as a result it abbreviates me to "AB" not "ÆAB", entirely because "Æ"
isn't /[[:upper:]]/ unless the string being matched against has the UTF8
flag.

Here's something that demonstrates the issue:

    #!/usr/bin/env perl
    use strict;
    use warnings;

    binmode STDOUT, ':utf8' if $ENV{UTF8};
    open my $fd, "-|", "git", "blame", "--incremental", "--", "Makefile" or die "Can't open: $!";
    binmode $fd, ":utf8" if $ENV{UTF8};
    while (my $line = <$fd>) {
    	next unless my ($author) = $line =~ /^author (.*)/;
    	my @author_initials = ($author =~ /\b([[:upper:]])\B/g);
    	printf "%s (%s)\n",  join("", @author_initials), $author;
    }

When that's run with and without UTF8 being true in the environment it
gives, on git.git:

    $ UTF8=0 perl author-initials.pl | sort | uniq -c |
    sort -nr | head -n 5

    sort -nr | head -n 5

45e8a74873 has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up
When we read a sha1 file, we first look for a packed
version, then a loose version, and then re-check the pack
directory again before concluding that we cannot find it.
This lets us handle a process that is writing to the
repository simultaneously (e.g., receive-pack writing a new
pack followed by a ref update, or git-repack packing
existing loose objects into a new pack).

However, we do not do the same trick with has_sha1_file; we
only check the packed objects once, followed by loose
objects. This means that we might incorrectly report that we
do not have an object, even though we could find it if we
simply re-checked the pack directory.

By itself, this is usually not a big deal. The other process
is running simultaneously, so we may run has_sha1_file
before it writes, anyway. It is a race whether we see the
object or not.  However, we may also see other things
the writing process has done (like updating refs); and in
that case, we must be able to also see the new objects.

For example, imagine we are doing a for_each_ref iteration,
and somebody simultaneously pushes. Receive-pack may write
the pack and update a ref after we have examined the
objects/pack directory, but before the iteration gets to the
updated ref. When we do finally see the updated ref,
for_each_ref will call has_sha1_file to check whether the
ref is broken. If has_sha1_file returns the wrong answer, we
erroneously will think that the ref is broken.

For a normal iteration without DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN,
this means that the caller does not see the ref at all
(neither the old nor the new value).  So not only will we
fail to see the new value of the ref (which is acceptable,
since we are running simultaneously with the writer, and we
might well read the ref before the writer commits its
write), but we will not see the old value either. For
programs that act on reachability like pack-objects or
prune, this can cause data loss, as we may see the objects
referenced by the original ref value as dangling (and either
omit them from the pack, or delete them via prune).

There's no test included here, because the success case is
two processes running simultaneously forever. But you can
replicate the issue with:

  # base.sh
  # run this in one terminal; it creates and pushes
  # repeatedly to a repository
  git init parent &&
  (cd parent &&

    # create a base commit that will trigger us looking at
    # the objects/pack directory before we hit the updated ref
    echo content >file &&
    git add file &&
    git commit -m base &&

    # set the unpack limit abnormally low, which
    # lets us simulate full-size pushes using tiny ones
    git config receive.unpackLimit 1
  ) &&
  git clone parent child &&
  cd child &&
  n=0 &&
  while true; do
    echo $n >file && git add file && git commit -m $n &&
    git push origin HEAD:refs/remotes/child/master &&
    n=$(($n + 1))
  done

  # fsck.sh
  # now run this simultaneously in another terminal; it
  # repeatedly fscks, looking for us to consider the
  # newly-pushed ref broken. We cannot use for-each-ref
  # here, as it uses DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN, which
  # skips the has_sha1_file check (and if it wants
  # more information on the object, it will actually read
  # the object, which does the proper two-step lookup)
  cd parent &&
  while true; do
    broken=`git fsck 2>&1 | grep remotes/child`
    if test -n "$broken"; then
      echo $broken
      exit 1
    fi
  done

Without this patch, the fsck loop fails within a few seconds
(and almost instantly if the test repository actually has a
large number of refs). With it, the two can run
indefinitely.

c587d65512 remote-hg: use notes to keep track of Hg revisions
Keep track of Mercurial revisions as Git notes under the 'refs/notes/hg'
ref.  This way, the user can easily see which Mercurial revision
corresponds to certain Git commit.

Unfortunately, there's no way to efficiently update the notes after
doing an export (push), so they'll have to be updated when importing
(fetching).

992c38644a Start the post-1.8.4 cycle
It is tentatively called 1.8.5, but it should be an easy matter of
renaming the release-notes file and RelNotes symlink to later call
it 1.9 near the end of the cycle if we wanted to.

Some people still use rather old versions of bash, which cannot
grok some constructs like 'printf -v varname' the prompt and
completion code started to use recently.

* bc/completion-for-bash-3.0:
  contrib/git-prompt.sh: handle missing 'printf -v' more gracefully
  t9902-completion.sh: old Bash still does not support array+=('') notation
  git-completion.bash: use correct Bash/Zsh array length syntax
