efc7df454e Move print_commit_list to libgit.a
This is used by bisect.c, part of libgit.a while it stays in
builtin/rev-list.c. Move it to commit.c so that we won't get undefined
reference if a program that uses libgit.a happens to pull it in.

02e8ca0e50 parse_dirstat_params(): use string_list to split comma-separated string
Use string_list_split_in_place() to split the comma-separated
parameters string.  This simplifies the code and also fixes a bug: the
old code made calls like

    memcmp(p, "lines", p_len)

which needn't work if p_len is different than the length of the
constant string (and could illegally access memory if p_len is larger
than the length of the constant string).

When p_len was less than the length of the constant string, the old
code would have allowed some abbreviations to be accepted (e.g., "cha"
for "changes") but this seems to have been a bug rather than a
feature, because (1) it is not documented; (2) no attempt was made to
handle ambiguous abbreviations, like "c" for "changes" vs
"cumulative".

1b77d83cab setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths
longest_ancestor_length() relies on a textual comparison of directory
parts to find the part of path that overlaps with one of the paths in
prefix_list.  But this doesn't work if any of the prefixes involves a
symbolic link, because the directories will look different even though
they might logically refer to the same directory.  So canonicalize the
paths listed in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES using real_path_if_valid()
before passing them to longest_ancestor_length().  (Also rename
normalize_ceiling_entry() to canonicalize_ceiling_entry() to reflect
the change.)

path is already in canonical form, so doesn't need to be canonicalized
again.

This fixes some problems with using GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that
contains paths involving symlinks, including t4035 if run with --root
set to a path involving symlinks.

Please note that test t0060 is *not* changed analogously, because that
would make the test suite results dependent on the contents of the
local root directory.  However, real_path() is already tested
independently, and the "ancestor" tests cover the non-normalization
aspects of longest_ancestor_length(), so coverage remains sufficient.

059b37934c string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function
This function was added in f103f95b11 in
the erroneous expectation that it would be used in the
reimplementation of longest_ancestor_length().  But it turned out to
be easier to use a function specialized for comparing path prefixes
(i.e., one that knows about slashes and root paths) than to prepare
the paths in such a way that a generic string prefix comparison
function can be used.  So delete string_list_longest_prefix() and its
documentation and test cases.

9e2326c7e1 longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized
Move the responsibility for normalizing prefixes from
longest_ancestor_length() to its callers. Use slightly different
normalizations at the two callers:

In setup_git_directory_gently_1(), use the old normalization, which
ignores paths that are not usable.  In the next commit we will change
this caller to also resolve symlinks in the paths from
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES as part of the normalization.

In "test-path-utils longest_ancestor_length", use the old
normalization, but die() if any paths are unusable.  Also change t0060
to only pass normalized paths to the test program (no empty entries or
non-absolute paths, strip trailing slashes from the paths, and remove
tests that thereby become redundant).

The point of this change is to reduce the scope of the ancestor_length
tests in t0060 from testing normalization+longest_prefix to testing
only mostly longest_prefix.  This is necessary because when
setup_git_directory_gently_1() starts resolving symlinks as part of
its normalization, it will not be reasonable to do the same in the
test suite, because that would make the test results depend on the
contents of the root directory of the filesystem on which the test is
run.  HOWEVER: under Windows, bash mangles arguments that look like
absolute POSIX paths into DOS paths.  So we have to retain the level
of normalization done by normalize_path_copy() to convert the
bash-mangled DOS paths (which contain backslashes) into paths that use
forward slashes.

ef90ab66e8 pickaxe: use textconv for -S counting
We currently just look at raw blob data when using "-S" to
pickaxe. This is mostly historical, as pickaxe predates the
textconv feature. If the user has bothered to define a
textconv filter, it is more likely that their search string will be
on the textconv output, as that is what they will see in the
diff (and we do not even provide a mechanism for them to
search for binary needles that contain NUL characters).

This patch teaches "-S" to use textconv, just as we
already do for "-G".

If we are given an empty pickaxe needle like "git log -S ''",
it is impossible for us to find anything (because no matter
what the content, the count will always be 0). We currently
check this at the lowest level of contains(). Let's hoist
the logic much earlier to has_changes(), so that it is
simpler to return our answer before loading any blob data.

b1c2f57db3 diff_grep: use textconv buffers for add/deleted files
If you use "-G" to grep a diff, we will apply a configured
textconv filter to the data before generating the diff.
However, if the diff is an addition or deletion, we do not
bother running the diff at all, and just look for the token
in the added (or removed) content. This works because we
know that the diff must contain every line of content.

However, while we used the textconv-derived buffers in the
regular diff, we accidentally passed the original unmodified
buffers to regexec when checking the added or removed
content. This could lead to an incorrect answer.

Worse, in some cases we might have a textconv buffer but no
original buffer (e.g., if we pulled the textconv data from
cache, or if we reused a working tree file when generating
it). In that case, we could actually feed NULL to regexec
and segfault.

e342acc678 Fix t9200 on case insensitive file systems
t9200 defines $CVSROOT where cvs should init its repository
$CVSROOT is set to $PWD/cvsroot.
cvs init is supposed to create the repository inside $PWD/cvsroot/CVSROOT

"cvs init" (e.g. version  1.11.23) checks if the last element of the path is
"CVSROOT", and if a directory with e.g. $PWD/cvsroot/CVSROOT already exists.

For such a $CVSROOT cvs refuses to init a repository here:
"Cannot initialize repository under existing CVSROOT:

On a case insenstive file system cvsroot and CVSROOT are the same directories
and t9200 fails.

Solution: use $PWD/tmpcvsroot instead of cvsroot $PWD/cvsroot

values, leaving only the final one. For example:

  [set a multivar]
  $ git config user.email one@example.com
  $ git config --add user.email two@example.com

  [use the internal parser to fetch it]
  $ git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
  Your Name <two@example.com> ...

  [use git-config to fetch it]
  $ git config user.email
  one@example.com
  error: More than one value for the key user.email: two@example.com

This overwriting behavior is critical for the regular
parser, which starts with the lowest-priority file (e.g.,
/etc/gitconfig) and proceeds to the highest-priority file
($GIT_DIR/config). Overwriting yields the highest priority
value at the end.

Git-config solves this problem by implementing its own
parsing. It goes from highest to lowest priorty, but does
not proceed to the next file if it has seen a value.

So in practice, this distinction never mattered much,
because it only triggered for values in the same file. And
there was not much point in doing that; the real value is in
overwriting values from lower-priority files.

However, this changed with the implementation of config
include files. Now we might see an include overriding a
value from the parent file, which is a sensible thing to do,
but git-config will flag as a duplication.

This patch drops the duplicate detection for git-config and
switches to a pure-overwrite model (for the single case;
--get-all can still be used if callers want to do something
more fancy).

As is shown by the modifications to the test suite, this is
a user-visible change in behavior. An alternative would be
to just change the include case, but this is much cleaner
for a few reasons:

  1. If you change the include case, then to what? If you
     just stop parsing includes after getting a value, then
     you will get a _different_ answer than the regular
     config parser (you'll get the first value instead of
     the last value). So you'd want to implement overwrite
     semantics anyway.

  2. Even though it is a change in behavior for git-config,
     it is bringing us in line with what the internal
     parsers already do.

  3. The file-order reimplementation is the only thing
     keeping us from sharing more code with the internal
     config parser, which will help keep differences to a
     minimum.

Going under the assumption that the primary purpose of
git-config is to behave identically to how git's internal
parsing works, this change can be seen as a bug-fix.

7acdd6f0bc git-config: collect values instead of immediately printing
This is a refactor that will allow us to more easily tweak
the behavior for multi-valued variables, and it will
ultimately allow us to remove a lot git-config's custom code
in favor of the regular git_config code.

It does mean we're no longer streaming, and we're storing
more in memory for the --get-all case, but in practice it is
a tiny amount of data, and the results are instantaneous.
