If the user is trying to apply a Git generated diff file and they
have specified a -p<n> option, where <n> is not 1, the user probably
has a good reason for doing this. Such as they are me, trying to
apply a patch generated in git.git for the git-gui subdirectory to
the git-gui.git repository, where there is no git-gui subdirectory
present.
Users shouldn't supply -p2 unless they mean it. But if they are
supplying it, they probably have thought about how to make this
patch apply to their working directory, and want to risk whatever
results may come from that.

When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the
index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv,
read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their
resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a
lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that
jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index
file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding
the lock on the index.
However, I think the interface to let an environment variable
specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation.
If a curious user has the environment variable set to something
other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything
will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to
tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named
file, to prevent stupid mistakes.

When we write out the result of patch application, we sometimes
need to munge the data (e.g. under core.autocrlf). After doing
so, what we should free is the temporary buffer that holds the
converted data returned from convert_to_working_tree(), not the
original one.
This patch also moves the call to open() up in the function, as
the caller expects us to fail cheaply if leading directories
need to be created (and then the caller creates them and calls
us again). For that calling pattern, attempting conversion
before opening the file adds unnecessary overhead.

Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4.
This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose
maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or
mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory.
On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause
the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior.
Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the
-Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t().
In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms
detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed.

Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.
This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).
Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types

This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array

Earlier one that tried to be too consistent with GNU patch by
not stripping the leading path when we _know_ we are in a
subdirectory and the patch is relative to the toplevel was a
mistake. This fixes it.
- No change to behaviour when it is run from the toplevel of
the repository.
- When run from a subdirectory to apply a git-generated patch,
it uses the right -p<n> value automatically, with or without
--index nor --cached option.
- When run from a subdirectory to apply a randomly generated
patch, it wants the right -p<n> value to be given by the
user.
The second one is a pure improvement to correct inconsistency
between --index and non --index case, compared with 1.5.0. The
third point could be further improved to guess what the right
value for -p<n> should be by looking at the patch, but should be
a topic of a separate patch.

This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when
the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified
easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including
idiotic conversions like
if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3))
=>
if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo")))

#!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p
if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|;

git-apply running inside a subdirectory, with or without --index,
used to always assume that the patch is formatted in such a way
to apply with -p1 from the toplevel, but it is more useful and
consistent with the use of "GNU patch -p1" if it defaulted to
assume that its input is meant to apply at the level it is
invoked in.
This changes the behaviour. It used to be that the patch
generated this way would apply without any trick:
edit Documentation/Makefile
git diff >patch.file
cd Documentation
git apply ../patch.file
You need to give an explicit -p2 to git-apply now. On the other
hand, if you got a patch from somebody else who did not follow
"patch is to apply from the top with -p1" convention, the input
patch would start with:
diff -u Makefile.old Makefile
--- Makefile.old
+++ Makefile
and in such a case, you can apply it with:
git apply -p0 patch.file

When a patch modifies (not deletes) the last file in a
directory, because we treat a modification just as deletion
followed by creation, and deleting the last file in a directory
automatically rmdir(2)'s that directory, we ended up removing
the directory, which can potentially be the cwd, and then
recreating the same directory to create the patch result.
Avoid the rmdir step when remove_file() is called only because
we are replacing it with the result by later calling
create_file().

When neither --index nor --cached was used, git-apply did not
try calling setup_git_directory(), which means it did not look
at configuration files at all. This fixes it to call the setup
function but still allow the command to be run in a directory
not controlled by git.
The bug probably meant that 'git apply', not moving up to the
toplevel, did not apply properly formatted diffs from the
toplevel when you are inside a subdirectory, even though 'git
apply --index' would. As a side effect, this patch fixes it as
well.

(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"

Somebody was wondering on #git channel why a git generated diff
does not apply with GNU patch when the filename contains a SP.
It is because GNU patch expects to find TAB (and trailing timestamp)
on ---/+++ (old_name and new_name) lines after the filenames.
The "diff --git" output format was carefully designed to be
compatible with GNU patch where it can, but whitespace
characters were always a pain.
We can make our output a bit more GNU patch friendly by adding an
extra TAB (but not trailing timestamp) to old/new name lines when
the filename as a SP in it. This updates git-apply to prepare
ourselves to accept such a patch, but we still do not generate
output that is patch friendly yet. That change needs to wait
until everybody has this change.
When a filename contains a real tab, "diff --git" format
always c-quotes it as discussed on the list with GNU patch
maintainer previously:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112927316408690&w=2
so there should be no downside.

In "git-apply", we have a few sanity checks and heuristics that
expects that the patch fed to us is a unified diff with at least
one line of context.
* When there is no leading context line in a hunk, the hunk
must apply at the beginning of the preimage. Similarly, no
trailing context means that the hunk is anchored at the end.
* We learn a patch deletes the file from a hunk that has no
resulting line (i.e. all lines are prefixed with '-') if it
has not otherwise been known if the patch deletes the file.
Similarly, no old line means the file is being created.
And we declare an error condition when the file created by a
creation patch already exists, and/or when a deletion patch
still leaves content in the file.
These sanity checks are good safety measures, but breaks down
when people feed a diff generated with --unified=0. This was
recently noticed first by Matthew Wilcox and Gerrit Pape.
This adds a new flag, --unified-zero, to allow bypassing these
checks. If you are in control of the patch generation process,
you should not use --unified=0 patch and fix it up with this
flag; rather you should try work with a patch with context. But
if all you have to work with is a patch without context, this
flag may come handy as the last resort.
