08ea65ad13 shallow: add setup_temporary_shallow()
This function is like setup_alternate_shallow() except that it does
not lock $GIT_DIR/shallow.  It is supposed to be used when a program
generates temporary shallow for use by another program, then throw
the shallow file away.

6a3bbb4db4 shallow: only add shallow graft points to new shallow file
for_each_commit_graft() goes through all graft points, and shallow
boundaries are just one special kind of grafting.

If $GIT_DIR/shallow and $GIT_DIR/info/grafts are both present,
write_shallow_commits() may catch both sets, accidentally turning
some graft points to shallow boundaries.  Don't do that.

When core.precomposeunicode was introduced in 76759c7d,
it was set to false on a unicode decomposing file system like HFS+
to be compatible with older versions of Git.

The Mac OS users need to find out that this configuration exist
and change it manually from false to true.

A smoother workflow can be achieved,

49d6cfa5c2 config: do not use C function names as struct members
According to C99, section 7.1.4:

  Any function declared in a header may be additionally
  implemented as a function-like macro defined in the
  header.

Therefore calling our struct member function pointer "fgetc"
may run afoul of unwanted macro expansion when we call:

  char c = cf->fgetc(cf);

This turned out to be a problem on uclibc, which defines
fgetc as a macro and causes compilation failure.

The standard suggests fixing this in a few ways:

  1. Using extra parentheses to inhibit the function-like
     macro expansion. E.g., "(cf->fgetc)(cf)". This is
     undesirable as it's ugly, and each call site needs to
     remember to use it (and on systems without the macro,
     forgetting will compile just fine).

  2. Using #undef (because a conforming implementation must
     also be providing fgetc as a function). This is
     undesirable because presumably the implementation was
     using the macro for a performance benefit, and we are
     dropping that optimization.

Instead, we can simply use non-colliding names.

f223459bec status: always show tracking branch even no change
In order to see what the current branch is tracking, one way is using
"git branch -v -v", but branches other than the current are also
reported. Another way is using "git status", such as:

    $ git status
    # On branch master
    # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
    ...

But this will not work if there is no change between the current
branch and its upstream. Always report upstream tracking info
even if there is no difference, so that "git status" is consistent
for checking tracking info for current branch. E.g.

    $ git status
    # On branch feature1
    # Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'.
    ...

    $ git status -bs
    ## feature1...github/feature1
    ...

    $ git checkout feature1
    Already on 'feature1'
    Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'.
    ...

Also add some test cases in t6040.

f2e087395b branch: report invalid tracking branch as gone
Command "git branch -vv" will report tracking branches, but invalid
tracking branches are also reported. This is because the function
stat_tracking_info() can not distinguish invalid tracking branch
from other cases which it would not like to report, such as
there is no upstream settings at all, or nothing is changed between
one branch and its upstream.

Junio suggested missing upstream should be reported [1] like:

    $ git branch -v -v
      master    e67ac84 initial
    * topic     3fc0f2a [topicbase: gone] topic

    $ git status
    # On branch topic
    # Your branch is based on 'topicbase', but the upstream is gone.
    #   (use "git branch --unset-upstream" to fixup)
    ...

    $ git status -b -s
    ## topic...topicbase [gone]
    ...

In order to do like that, we need to distinguish these three cases
(i.e. no tracking, with configured but no longer valid tracking, and
with tracking) in function stat_tracking_info(). So the refactored
function stat_tracking_info() has three return values: -1 (with "gone"
base), 0 (no base), and 1 (with base).

If the caller does not like to report tracking info when nothing
changed between the branch and its upstream, simply checks if
num_theirs and num_ours are both 0.

75c6976655 rebase -i: fix short SHA-1 collision
The 'todo' sheet for interactive rebase shows abbreviated SHA-1's and
then performs its operations upon those shortened values. This can lead
to an abort if the SHA-1 of a reworded or edited commit is no longer
unique within the abbreviated SHA-1 space and a subsequent SHA-1 in the
todo list has the same abbreviated value.

For example:

  edit f00dfad first
  pick badbeef second

If, after editing, the new SHA-1 of "first" also has prefix badbeef,
then the subsequent 'pick badbeef second' will fail since badbeef is no
longer a unique SHA-1 abbreviation:

  error: short SHA1 badbeef is ambiguous.
  fatal: Needed a single revision
  Invalid commit name: badbeef

Fix this problem by expanding the SHA-1's in the todo list before
performing the operations.

[es: also collapse & expand SHA-1's for --edit-todo; respect
core.commentchar in transform_todo_ids(); compose commit message]

31cd827525 t3404: make tests more self-contained
As its very first action, t3404 installs (via set_fake_editor) a
specialized $EDITOR which simplifies automated 'rebase -i' testing. Many
tests rely upon this setting, thus tests which need a different editor
must take extra care upon completion to restore $EDITOR in order to
avoid breaking following tests. This places extra burden upon such tests
and requires that they undesirably have extra knowledge about
surrounding tests. Ease this burden by having each test install the
$EDITOR it requires, rather than relying upon a global setting.

6da8bdcbbf fetch-pack: do not remove .git/shallow file when --depth is not specified
fetch_pack() can remove .git/shallow file when a shallow repository
becomes a full one again. This behavior is triggered incorrectly when
tags are also fetched because fetch_pack() will be called twice. At
the first fetch_pack() call:

 - shallow_lock is set up
 - alternate_shallow_file points to shallow_lock.filename, which is
   "shallow.lock"
 - commit_lock_file is called, which sets shallow_lock.filename to "".
   alternate_shallow_file also becomes "" because it points to the
   same memory.

At the second call, setup_alternate_shallow() is not called and
alternate_shallow_file remains "". It's mistaken as unshallow case and
.git/shallow is removed. The end result is a broken repository.

Fix this by always initializing alternate_shallow_file when
fetch_pack() is called. As an extra measure, check if args->depth > 0
before commit/rollback shallow file.

The test had used the skip_all mechanism since 1b19ccd2 (2009-04-03)
but switched to explicit PERL prereqs in f0459319 (2010-10-13) in hope
of helping people see how many tests were skipped, perhaps to motivate
them to tweak their platform or tests to improve test coverage.  That
didn't pan out much in practice, so let's move back to the simpler
skip_all method.

b2ef3d9ebb test index-pack on packs with recoverable delta cycles
The previous commit added tests to show that index-pack
correctly bails in unrecoverable situations. There are some
situations where the data could be recovered, but it is not
currently:

  1. If we can break the cycle using an object from another
     pack via --fix-thin.

  2. If we can break the cycle using a duplicate of one of
     the objects found in the same pack.

Note that neither of these is particularly high priority; a
delta cycle within a pack should never occur, and we have no
record of even a buggy git implementation creating such a
pack.

However, it's worth adding these tests for two reasons. One,
to document that we do not currently handle the situation,
even though it is possible. And two, to exercise the code
that runs in this situation; even though it fails, by
running it we can confirm that index-pack detects the
situation and aborts, and does not misbehave (e.g., by
following the cycle in an infinite loop).

In both cases, we hit an assert that aborts index-pack.

3b910d0c5e add tests for indexing packs with delta cycles
If we receive a broken or malicious pack from a remote, we
will feed it to index-pack. As index-pack processes the
objects as a stream, reconstructing and hashing each object
to get its name, it is not very susceptible to doing the
wrong with bad data (it simply notices that the data is
bogus and aborts).

However, one question raised on the list is whether it could
be susceptible to problems during the delta-resolution
phase. In particular, can a cycle in the packfile deltas
cause us to go into an infinite loop or cause any other
problem?

The answer is no.

We cannot have a cycle of delta-base offsets, because they
go only in one direction (the OFS_DELTA object mentions its
base by an offset towards the beginning of the file, and we
explicitly reject negative offsets).

We can have a cycle of REF_DELTA objects, which refer to
base objects by sha1 name. However, index-pack does not know
these sha1 names ahead of time; it has to reconstruct the
objects to get their names, and it cannot do so if there is
a delta cycle (in other words, it does not even realize
there is a cycle, but only that there are items that cannot
be resolved).

Even though we can reason out that index-pack should handle
this fine, let's add a few tests to make sure it behaves
correctly.

171bdaca69 sha1-lookup: handle duplicate keys with GIT_USE_LOOKUP
The sha1_entry_pos function tries to be smart about
selecting the middle of a range for its binary search by
looking at the value differences between the "lo" and "hi"
constraints. However, it is unable to cope with entries with
duplicate keys in the sorted list.

We may hit a point in the search where both our "lo" and
"hi" point to the same key. In this case, the range of
values between our endpoints is 0, and trying to scale the
difference between our key and the endpoints over that range
is undefined (i.e., divide by zero). The current code
catches this with an "assert(lov < hiv)".

Moreover, after seeing that the first 20 byte of the key are
the same, we will try to establish a value from the 21st
byte. Which is nonsensical.

Instead, we can detect the case that we are in a run of
duplicates, and simply do a final comparison against any one
of them (since they are all the same, it does not matter
which). If the keys match, we have found our entry (or one
of them, anyway).  If not, then we know that we do not need
to look further, as we must be in a run of the duplicate
key.

a9f739c111 rebase --preserve-merges: ignore "merge.log" config
When "merge.log" config is set, "rebase --preserve-merges" will add
the log lines to the message of the rebased merge commit.  A rebase
should not modify a commit message automatically.

Teach "git-rebase" to ignore that configuration by passing
"--no-log" to the git-merge call.

af52bd5f58 gitweb: make search help link less ugly
The search help link was a superscript question mark right next to
a drop-down menu, which looks misaligned and is a cramped and
awkward click target. Remove the superscript tags and add some
spacing to fix these nits. Add a title attribute to provide an
explanatory mouseover.

860ccc605d gitweb: omit the repository owner when it is unset
On the repository summary page, leave the owner line out if the
repo does not have an owner, rather than displaying a labelled empty
field. This does not affect the owner column in the projects list
page, which is present unless $omit_owner is true.

e92527c97c stream_to_pack: xread does not guarantee to read all requested bytes
The deflate loop in bulk-checkin::stream_to_pack expects to get all bytes
from a file that it requests to read in a single function call. But it
used xread(), which does not give that guarantee. Replace it by
read_in_full().

a487916dd5 Revert "compat/clipped-write.c: large write(2) fails on Mac OS X/XNU"
This reverts commit 6c642a8786.

The previous commit introduced a size limit on IO chunks on all
platforms.  The compat clipped_write() is not needed anymore.

0b6806b9e4 xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MB
Checking out 2GB or more through an external filter (see test) fails
on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) for a 64-bit executable with:

    error: read from external filter cat failed
    error: cannot feed the input to external filter cat
    error: cat died of signal 13
    error: external filter cat failed 141
    error: external filter cat failed

The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked
to read more than 2GB.  According to POSIX [1], if the value of
nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is
implementation-defined.  The write function has the same restriction
[2].  Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the
32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also
imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions.  For write,
the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a].

Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting
size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and
xwrite().  Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies
when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy.  Doing IO in
reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on
performance.

The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is
not needed anymore.  It will be reverted in a separate commit.  The
new test catches read and write problems.

Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors
to stderr.  The test, therefore, checks stderr.  'git add' should
probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with
nonzero if filtering fails.  The test could then be changed to use
test_must_fail.
