Various issues around "reflog expire", e.g. using --updateref when
expiring a reflog for a symbolic reference, have been corrected
and/or made saner.
* mh/expire-updateref-fixes:
reflog_expire(): never update a reference to null_sha1
reflog_expire(): ignore --updateref for symbolic references
reflog: improve and update documentation
struct ref_lock: delete the force_write member
lock_ref_sha1_basic(): do not set force_write for missing references
write_ref_sha1(): move write elision test to callers
write_ref_sha1(): remove check for lock == NULL
The prompt string "remove?" used when "git clean -i" asks the user
if a path should be removed was localizable, but the code always
expects a substring of "yes" to tell it to go ahead. Always show
[y/N] as part of this prompt to hint that the answer is not (yet)
localized.
* ja/clean-confirm-i18n:
Add hint interactive cleaning
Description given by "grep -h" for its --exclude-standard option
was phrased poorly.
* nd/grep-exclude-standard-help-fix:
grep: correct help string for --exclude-standard
Code cleanups.
* rs/simple-cleanups:

pretty: use starts_with() to check for a prefix
for-each-ref: use skip_prefix() to avoid duplicate string comparison
connect: use strcmp() for string comparison
Simplify the ref transaction API around how "the ref should be
pointing at this object" is specified.
* mh/refs-have-new:
refs.h: remove duplication in function docstrings
update_ref(): improve documentation
ref_transaction_verify(): new function to check a reference's value
ref_transaction_delete(): check that old_sha1 is not null_sha1
ref_transaction_create(): check that new_sha1 is valid
commit: avoid race when creating orphan commits
commit: add tests of commit races
ref_transaction_delete(): remove "have_old" parameter
ref_transaction_update(): remove "have_old" parameter
struct ref_update: move "have_old" into "flags"
refs.c: change some "flags" to "unsigned int"
refs: remove the gap in the REF_* constant values
refs: move REF_DELETING to refs.c
Revamp the "git reflog" usage documentation in the manpage and the
command help to match the current reality and improve its clarity:
* Add documentation for some options that had been left out.
* Group the subcommands and options more logically and move more
common subcommands/options higher.
* Improve some explanations.

If NULL is passed to ref_transaction_update()'s new_sha1 parameter,
then just verify old_sha1 (under lock) without trying to change the
new value of the reference.
Use this functionality to add a new function ref_transaction_verify(),
which checks the current value of the reference under lock but doesn't
change it.
Use ref_transaction_verify() in the implementation of "git update-ref
--stdin"'s "verify" command to avoid the awkward need to "update" the
reference to its existing value.

If HEAD doesn't point at anything during the initial check, then we
should make sure that it *still* doesn't point at anything when we are
ready to update the reference. Otherwise, another process might commit
while we are working (e.g., while we are waiting for the user to edit
the commit message) and we will silently overwrite it.
This fixes a failing test in t7516.

Because Git tracks symbolic links as symbolic links, a path that
has a symbolic link in its leading part (e.g. path/to/dir/file,
where path/to/dir is a symbolic link to somewhere else, be it
inside or outside the working tree) can never appear in a patch
that validly applies, unless the same patch first removes the
symbolic link to allow a directory to be created there.
Detect and reject such a patch.
Things to note:
- Unfortunately, we cannot reuse the has_symlink_leading_path()
from dir.c, as that is only about the working tree, but "git
apply" can be told to apply the patch only to the index or to
both the index and to the working tree.
- We cannot directly use has_symlink_leading_path() even when we
are applying only to the working tree, as an early patch of a
valid input may remove a symbolic link path/to/dir and then a
later patch of the input may create a path path/to/dir/file, but
"git apply" first checks the input without touching either the
index or the working tree. The leading symbolic link check must
be done on the interim result we compute in-core (i.e. after the
first patch, there is no path/to/dir symbolic link and it is
perfectly valid to create path/to/dir/file).
Similarly, when an input creates a symbolic link path/to/dir and
then creates a file path/to/dir/file, we need to flag it as an
error without actually creating path/to/dir symbolic link in the
filesystem.
Instead, for any patch in the input that leaves a path (i.e. a non
deletion) in the result, we check all leading paths against the
resulting tree that the patch would create by inspecting all the
patches in the input and then the target of patch application
(either the index or the working tree).
This way, we catch a mischief or a mistake to add a symbolic link
path/to/dir and a file path/to/dir/file at the same time, while
allowing a valid patch that removes a symbolic link path/to/dir and
then adds a file path/to/dir/file.

We should reject a patch, whether it renames/copies dir/file to
elsewhere with or without modificiation, or updates dir/file in
place, if "dir/" part is actually a symbolic link to elsewhere,
by making sure that the code to read the preimage does not read
from a path that is beyond a symbolic link.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
We currently read the preimage to apply a patch from the index only
when the --cached option is given. Do so also when the command is
running under the --index option. With --index, the index entry and
the working tree file for a path that is involved in a patch must be
identical, so this should not affect the result, but by reading from
the index, we will get the protection to avoid reading an unintended
path beyond a symbolic link automatically.

By default, a patch that affects outside the working area (either a
Git controlled working tree, or the current working directory when
"git apply" is used as a replacement of GNU patch) is rejected as a
mistake (or a mischief). Git itself does not create such a patch,
unless the user bends over backwards and specifies a non-standard
prefix to "git diff" and friends.
When `git apply` is used as a "better GNU patch", the user can pass
the `--unsafe-paths` option to override this safety check. This
option has no effect when `--index` or `--cached` is in use.
The new test was stolen from Jeff King with slight enhancements.
Note that a few new tests for touching outside the working area by
following a symbolic link are still expected to fail at this step,
but will be fixed in later steps.

If an --author argument is specified but does not contain a '>' then git tries
to find the argument within the existing authors; and gives the error
message "No existing author found with '%s'" if there is no match.
This is confusing for users who try to specify a valid complete author
name.

reasons in this case.

When the incoming patch has whitespace errors in a common context
line (i.e. a line that is expected to be found and is not modified
by the patch), "apply --whitespace=fix" corrects the whitespace
errors the line has, in addition to the whitespace error on a line
that is updated by the patch. However, we did not count and report
that we fixed whitespace errors on such lines.
[jc: This is iffy. What if the whitespace error has been fixed in
the target since the patch was written? A common context line we
see in the patch has errors, and it matches a line in the target
that has the errors already corrected, resulting in no change, which
we may not want to count after all. On the other hand, we are
reporting whitespace errors _in_ the incoming patch, so...]

Under --whitespace=fix option, match_fragment() function examines
the preimage (the common context and the removed lines in the patch)
and the file being patched and checks if they match after correcting
all whitespace errors. When they are found to match, the common
context lines in the preimage is replaced with the fixed copy,
because these lines will then be copied to the corresponding place
in the postimage by a later call to update_pre_post_images(). Lines
that are added in the postimage, under --whitespace=fix, have their
whitespace errors already fixed when apply_one_fragment() prepares
the preimage and the postimage, so in the end, application of the
patch can be done by replacing the block of text in the file being
patched that matched the preimage with what is in the postimage that
was updated by update_pre_post_images().
In the earlier days, fixing whitespace errors always resulted in
reduction of size, either collapsing runs of spaces in the indent to
a tab or removing the trailing whitespaces. These days, however,
some whitespace error fix results in extending the size.
250b3c6c (apply --whitespace=fix: avoid running over the postimage
buffer, 2013-03-22) tried to compute the final postimage size but
its math was flawed. It counted the size of the block of text in
the original being patched after fixing the whitespace errors on its
lines that correspond to the preimage. That number does not have
much to do with how big the final postimage would be.
Instead count (1) the added lines in the postimage, whose size is
the same as in the final patch result because their whitespace
errors have already been corrected, and (2) the fixed size of the
lines that are common.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
"git apply --whitespace=fix" used to be able to assume that fixing
errors will always reduce the size by e.g. stripping whitespaces at
the end of lines or collapsing runs of spaces into tabs at the
beginning of lines. An update to accomodate fixes that lengthens
the result by e.g. expanding leading tabs into spaces were made long
time ago but the logic miscounted the necessary space after such
whitespace fixes, leading to either under-allocation or over-usage
of already allocated space.
Illustrate this with a runtime sanity-check to protect us from
future breakage. The test was stolen from Kyle McKay who helped
to identify the problem.
