When we get disconnected while expecting a response from the remote
side because authentication failed, we issued an error message "The
remote side hung up unexpectedly."
Give hint that it may be a permission problem in the message when we
can reasonably suspect it.
* hv/remote-end-hung-up:
remove the impression of unexpectedness when access is denied
When we try to push a ref and the right-hand side of the
refspec does not find a match, we try to create it. If it is
not fully qualified, we try to guess where it would go in
the refs hierarchy based on the left-hand source side. If
the source side is not a ref, then we give up and give a
long explanatory message.
For deletions, however, this doesn't make any sense. We
would never want to create on the remote side, and if an
unqualified ref can't be matched, it is simply an error. The
current code handles this already because the left-hand side
is empty, and therefore does not give us a hint as to where
the right-hand side should go, and we properly error out.
Unfortunately, the error message is the long "we tried to
qualify this, but the source side didn't let us guess"
message, which is quite confusing.
Instead, we can just be more succinct and say "we can't
delete this because we couldn't find it". So before:
$ git push origin :bogus
error: unable to push to unqualified destination: bogus
The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor
begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref.
error: failed to push some refs to '$URL'
and now:
$ git push origin :bogus
error: unable to delete 'bogus': remote ref does not exist
error: failed to push some refs to '$URL'
It is tempting to also catch a fully-qualified ref like
"refs/heads/bogus" and generate the same error message.
However, that currently does not error out at all, and
instead gets sent to the remote side, which typically
generates a warning:
$ git push origin:refs/heads/bogus
remote: warning: Deleting a non-existent ref.
To $URL
- [deleted] bogus
While it would be nice to catch this error early, a
client-side error would mean aborting the push entirely and
changing push's exit code. For example, right now you can
do:
$ git push origin refs/heads/foo refs/heads/bar
and end up in a state where "foo" and "bar" are deleted,
whether both of them currently exist or not (and see an
error only if we actually failed to contact the server).
Generating an error would cause a regression for this use
case.

When the caller knows that the parameter is meant to name a commit,
e.g. "56789a" in describe name "v1.2.3-4-g56789a", pass that as a

there is only one commit whose name begins with 56789a even if there

In finish_object_disambiguation(), if the candidate hasn't been
checked, there are two cases:
- It is the first and only object that match the prefix; or
- It replaced another object that matched the prefix but that
object did not satisfy ds->fn() callback.
And the former case we set ds->candidate_ok to true without doing
anything else, while for the latter we check the candidate, which
may set ds->candidate_ok to false.
At this point in the code, ds->candidate_ok can be false only if
this last-round check found that the candidate does not pass the
check, because the state after update_candidates() returns cannot
satisfy
!ds->ambiguous && ds->candidate_exists && ds->candidate_checked
and !ds->canidate_ok at the same time.
Hence, when we execute this "return", we know we have seen more than
one object that match the prefix (and none of them satisfied ds->fn),
meaning that we should say "the short name is ambiguous", not "there
is no object that matches the prefix".
Noticed by Jeff King.

We try to find zero, one or more matches from loose objects and
packed objects independently and then decide if the given short
object name is unique across them.
Instead, introduce a "struct disambiguate_state" that keeps track of
what we have found so far, that can be one of:
- We have seen one object that _could_ be what we are looking for;
- We have also checked that object for additional constraints (if any),
and found that the object satisfies it;
- We have also checked that object for additional constraints (if any),
and found that the object does not satisfy it; or
- We have seen more than one objects that satisfy the constraints.
and pass it to the enumeration functions for loose and packed
objects. The disambiguation state can optionally take a callback
function that takes a candidate object name and reports if the
object satisifies additional criteria (e.g. when the caller knows
that the short name must refer to a commit, this mechanism can be
used to check the type of the given object).
Compared to the earlier attempt, this round avoids the optional
check if there is only one candidate that matches the short name in
the first place.

Only "diff --no-index -" does. Bolting the logic into the low-level
function diff_populate_filespec() was a layering violation from day
one. Move populate_from_stdin() function out of the generic diff.c
to its only user, diff-index.c.
Also make sure "-" from the command line stays a special token "read

Regardless of where in the directory hierarchy you are, "-" on the

Split a rather heavy-ish "git completion" script out to create a
separate "git prompting" script, to help lazy-autoloading of the
completion part while making prompting part always available.
Teach "git submodule" deal with nested submodule structure where a
module is contained within a module whose origin is specified as a
relative URL to its superproject's origin.
When "--simplify-merges/by-decoration" is given together with
"--first-parent" to "git log", the combination of these options
makes the simplification logic to use in-core commit objects that
haven't been examined for relevance, either producing incorrect
result or taking too long to produce any output. Teach the
simplification logic to ignore commits that the first-parent
traversal logic ignored when both are in effect to work around the
issue.
"git add" allows adding a regular file to the path where a submodule
used to exist, but "git update-index" does not allow an equivalent
operation to Porcelain writers.
Attempt to optimize matching with an exclude pattern with a deep
directory hierarchy by taking the part that specifies leading path
without wildcard literally.
Setting this to a URL prefix instead of a path to a local directory allows
git-help --web to work even when HTML docs aren't locally installed, by

The original t9800 test code has a mix of assorted topics, some
of which are big enough to deserve their own homes.
Interdependencies between the topics make it confusing when
trying to study one in isolation. And it takes so long to run
that debugging an individual test is difficult.
Split out three big chunks of tests into their own files:
t9812-git-p4-wildcards.sh gets the 8 p4 wildcard tests
t9813-git-p4-preserve-users.sh gets the 4 --preserve-user tests
t9814-git-p4-rename.sh gets the 2 copy and rename tests
Test 9800 execution time drops from 29 sec to 9 sec. The
sequential time to run all tests is a slower due to the three
extra p4d startup/shutdown sequences, but the overall parallel
execution time is about the same, at 52 sec.

The p4 program is finicky about making sure the recorded client Root

that while leading to the same place as the client Root, look different,
and cause p4 to fail.

A path containing a space must be quoted when used as an
argument to either the copy or rename commands (because
unlike other commands, the path is not the final thing on
the line for those commands).
Commit 6280dfdc3b (fast-export: quote paths in output,
2011-08-05) previously attempted to fix fast-export's
quoting by passing all paths through quote_c_style().
However, that function does not consider the space to be a
character which requires quoting, so let's special-case the
space inside print_path(). This will cause space-containing
paths to also be quoted in other commands where such quoting
is not strictly necessary, but it does not hurt to do so.
The test from 6280dfdc3b did not detect this because, while
it does introduce renames in the export stream, it does not
actually turn on rename detection, so they were presented as
pairs of deletions/adds. Using "-M" reveals the bug.
