4a2d5ae262 pathspec: stop --*-pathspecs impact on internal parse_pathspec() uses
Normally parse_pathspec() is used on command line arguments where it
can do fancy thing like parsing magic on each argument or adding magic
for all pathspecs based on --*-pathspecs options.

There's another use of parse_pathspec(), where pathspec is needed, but
the input is known to be pure paths. In this case we usually don't
want --*-pathspecs to interfere. And we definitely do not want to
parse magic in these paths, regardless of --literal-pathspecs.

Add new flag PATHSPEC_LITERAL_PATH for this purpose. When it's set,
--*-pathspecs are ignored, no magic is parsed. And if the caller
allows PATHSPEC_LITERAL (i.e. the next calls can take literal magic),
then PATHSPEC_LITERAL will be set.

This fixes cases where git chokes when GIT_*_PATHSPECS are set because
parse_pathspec() indicates it won't take any magic. But
GIT_*_PATHSPECS add them anyway. These are

   export GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS=1
   git blame -- something
   git log --follow something
   git log --merge

"git ls-files --with-tree=path" (aka parse_pathspec() in
overlay_tree_on_cache()) is safe because the input is empty, and
producing one pathspec due to PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD does not take any
magic into account.

3fc0dca9ce sha1_file: move comment about return value where it belongs
Commit 5b0864070 (sha1_object_info_extended: make type calculation
optional, Jul 12 2013) changed the return value of the
sha1_object_info_extended function to 0/-1 for success/error.

Previously this function returned the object type for success or
-1 for error. But unfortunately the above commit forgot to change
or move the comment above this function that says "returns enum
object_type or negative".

To fix this inconsistency, let's move the comment above the
sha1_object_info function where it is still true.

4d715ac05c Windows: a test_cmp that is agnostic to random LF <> CRLF conversions
In a number of tests, output that was produced by a shell script is
compared to expected output using test_cmp. Unfortunately, the MSYS bash--
when invoked via git, such as in hooks--converts LF to CRLF on output
(as produced by echo and printf), which leads to many false positives.

Implements a diff tool that undoes the converted CRLF. To avoid that
sub-processes are spawned (which is very slow on Windows), the tool is
implemented as a shell function. Diff is invoked as usual only when a
difference is detected by the shell code.

The function 'invalidate_ref_cache' was introduced in 79c7ca5 (2011-10-17,

b3e9ce1332 reset: pass real rev name to add--interactive
The add--interactive --patch mode adjusts the UI based on
whether we are pulling changes from HEAD or elsewhere (in
the former case it asks to unstage the reverse hunk, rather
than apply the forward hunk).

Commit 166ec2e taught reset to work on an unborn branch, but
in doing so, switched to always providing add--interactive
with the sha1 rather than the symbolic name. This meant we
always used the "apply" interface, even for "git reset -p
HEAD".

We can fix this by passing the symbolic name to
add--interactive.  Since it understands unborn branches
these days, we do not even have to cover this special case
ourselves; we can simply pass HEAD.

The tests in t7105 now check that the right interface is
used in each circumstance (and notice the regression from
166ec2e we are fixing). The test in t7106 checks that we
get this right for the unborn case, too (not a regression,
since it didn't work at all before, but a nice improvement).

3c62183929 checkout: do not die when leaving broken detached HEAD
If we move away from a detached HEAD that has broken or
corrupted commits, we might die in two places:

  1. Printing the "old HEAD was..." message.

  2. Printing the list of orphaned commits.

In both cases, we ignore the return value of parse_commit
and feed the resulting commit to the pretty-print machinery,
which will die() upon failing to read the commit object
itself.

Since both cases are ancillary to the real operation being
performed, let's be more robust and keep going. This lets
users more easily checkout away from broken history.

367068e0dd use parse_commit_or_die instead of custom message
Many calls to parse_commit detect errors and die. In some
cases, the custom error messages are more useful than what
parse_commit_or_die could produce, because they give some
context, like which ref the commit came from. Some, however,
just say "invalid commit". Let's convert the latter to use
parse_commit_or_die; its message is slightly more informative,
and it makes the error more consistent throughout git.

a4165851e7 silence gcc array-bounds warning
In shorten_unambiguous_ref, we build and cache a reverse-map of the
rev-parse rules like this:

  static char **scanf_fmts;
  static int nr_rules;
  if (!nr_rules) {
	  for (; ref_rev_parse_rules[nr_rules]; nr_rules++)
		  ... generate scanf_fmts ...
  }

where ref_rev_parse_rules is terminated with a NULL pointer.
Compiling with "gcc -O2 -Wall" does not cause any problems, but
compiling with "-O3 -Wall" generates:

  $ make CFLAGS='-O3 -Wall' refs.o
  refs.c: In function ‘shorten_unambiguous_ref’:
  refs.c:3379:29: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds]
     for (; ref_rev_parse_rules[nr_rules]; nr_rules++)

Curiously, we can silence this by explicitly nr_rules to 0
in the beginning of the loop, even though the compiler
should be able to tell that we follow this code path only
when nr_rules is already 0.

af2a651d2e checkout_entry(): clarify the use of topath[] parameter
The said function has this signature:

	extern int checkout_entry(struct cache_entry *ce,
				  const struct checkout *state,
				  char *topath);

At first glance, it might appear that the caller of checkout_entry()
can specify to which path the contents are written out by the last
parameter, and it is tempting to add "const" in front of its type.

In reality, however, topath[] is to point at a buffer to store the
temporary path generated by the callchain originating from this
function, and the temporary path is always short, much shorter than
the buffer prepared by its only caller in builtin/checkout-index.c.

Document the code a bit to clarify so that future callers know how
to use the function better.

70900eda4a http.c: Spell the null pointer as NULL
Commit 1bbcc224 ("http: refactor options to http_get_*", 28-09-2013)
changed the type of final 'options' argument of the http_get_file()
function from an int to an 'struct http_get_options' pointer.
However, it neglected to update the (single) call site. Since this
call was passing '0' to that argument, it was (correctly) being
interpreted as a null pointer. Change to argument to NULL.

Noticed by sparse. ("Using plain integer as NULL pointer")

Unfortunately, the current remote-hg helper doesn't unquote quoted
path and pass them as-is to Mercurial when the commit is created.

This results in the following situation:

 - clone a mercurial repository with git
 - add a file with space in a directory: `>dir/foo\ bar`
 - commit that new file, and push the change to mercurial
 - the mercurial repository now has a new directory named '"dir',
   which contains a file named 'foo bar"'

Use Python str.decode('string-escape') to unquote the string if it
starts and ends with ".  It has been tested with quotes, spaces, and
utf-8 encoded file-names.

--valgrind-parallel was broken from the start: during review I made
the whole valgrind setup code conditional on not being a

need $GIT_VALGRIND to be set; it should therefore have been set
outside the conditional.

The fix would be a two-liner, but since the introduction of the

it is broken.  So this feature is not worth the about hundred lines of

more flexible by only looking for the expected error and ignoring any
other output from the program.

2ecb573bb3 t5570: Update for symref capability
git-daemon now uses the symref capability to send the correct HEAD
reference, so the test for that in t5570 now passes.

744db23c2d Documentation: revamp gitk(1)
The gitk manpage suffers from a bit of neglect: there have been only
minor changes, and no changes to the set of options documented, since
a2df1fb (Documentation: New GUI configuration and command-line
options., 2008-11-13).  In the meantime, the set of rev-list options
has been expanded several times by options that are useful in gitk,
e.g., --ancestry-path and the optional globbing for --branches, --tags
and --remotes.

Restructure and expand the manpage.  List more options that the author
perceives as useful, while remaining somewhat terse.  Ideally the user
should not have to look up any of the references, but we dispense with
precise explanations in some places and refer to git-log(1) instead.

Note that the options that have an easy GUI equivalent (e.g.,
--word-diff, -S, --grep) are deliberately not listed even in the cases
where they simply fill in the GUI fields.

c8556c6213 Fix calling parse_pathspec with no paths nor PATHSPEC_PREFER_* flags
When parse_pathspec() is called with no paths, the behavior could be
either return no paths, or return one path that is cwd. Some commands
do the former, some the latter. parse_pathspec() itself does not make
either the default and requires the caller to specify either flag if
it may run into this situation.

I've grep'd through all parse_pathspec() call sites. Some pass
neither, but those are guaranteed never pass empty path to
parse_pathspec(). There are two call sites that may pass empty path
and are fixed with this patch.

[jc: added a test from Antoine's bug report]

Document rules to use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION variable in the scripted

is a leaf user that does not call out to or dot-source other
scripts, so it does not urgently need to be fixed.
