a4ddbc33d7 http-push: enable "proactive auth"
Before commit 986bbc08, git was proactive about asking for
http passwords. It assumed that if you had a username in
your URL, you would also want a password, and asked for it
before making any http requests.

However, this could interfere with the use of .netrc (see
986bbc08 for details). And it was also unnecessary, since
the http fetching code had learned to recognize an HTTP 401
and prompt the user then. Furthermore, the proactive prompt
could interfere with the usage of .netrc (see 986bbc08 for
details).

Unfortunately, the http push-over-DAV code never learned to
recognize HTTP 401, and so was broken by this change. This
patch does a quick fix of re-enabling the "proactive auth"
strategy only for http-push, leaving the dumb http fetch and
smart-http as-is.

0521710a8b t5540: test DAV push with authentication
We don't currently test this case at all, and instead just
test the DAV mechanism over an unauthenticated push. That
isn't very realistic, as most people will want to
authenticate pushes.

Two of the tests expect_failure as they reveal bugs:

  1. Pushing without a username in the URL fails to ask for
     credentials when we get an HTTP 401. This has always
     been the case, but it would be nice if it worked like
     smart-http.

  2. Pushing with a username fails to ask for the password
     since 986bbc0 (http: don't always prompt for password,
     2011-11-04). This is a severe regression in v1.7.8, as
     authenticated push-over-DAV is now totally unusable
     unless you have credentials in your .netrc.

bab8d28e77 connect.c: drop path_match function

1e7ba0f9ca fetch-pack: match refs exactly
When we are determining the list of refs to fetch via
fetch-pack, we have two sets of refs to compare: those on
the remote side, and a "match" list of things we want to
fetch. We iterate through the remote refs alphabetically,
seeing if each one is wanted by the "match" list.

Since def88e9 (Commit first cut at "git-fetch-pack",
2005-07-04), we have used the "path_match" function to do a
suffix match, where a remote ref is considered wanted if
any of the "match" elements is a suffix of the remote
refname.

This enables callers of fetch-pack to specify unqualified
refs and have them matched up with remote refs (e.g., ask
for "A" and get remote's "refs/heads/A"). However, if you
provide a fully qualified ref, then there are corner cases
where we provide the wrong answer. For example, given a
remote with two refs:

   refs/foo/refs/heads/master
   refs/heads/master

asking for "refs/heads/master" will first match
"refs/foo/refs/heads/master" by the suffix rule, and we will
erroneously fetch it instead of refs/heads/master.

As it turns out, all callers of fetch_pack do provide
fully-qualified refs for the match list. There are two ways
fetch_pack can get match lists:

  1. Through the transport code (i.e., via git-fetch)

  2. On the command-line of git-fetch-pack

In the first case, we will always be providing the names of
fully-qualified refs from "struct ref" objects. We will have
pre-matched those ref objects already (since we have to
handle more advanced matching, like wildcard refspecs), and
are just providing a list of the refs whose objects we need.

In the second case, users could in theory be providing
non-qualified refs on the command-line. However, the
fetch-pack documentation claims that refs should be fully
qualified (and has always done so since it was written in
2005).

Let's change this path_match call to simply check for string
equality, matching what the callers of fetch_pack are
expecting.

e9d866e32c t5500: give fully-qualified refs to fetch-pack
The fetch-pack documentation is very clear that refs given
on the command line are to be full refs:

  <refs>...::
          The remote heads to update from. This is relative to
          $GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master").  When
          unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has.

and this has been the case since fetch-pack was originally documented in
8b3d9dc ([PATCH] Documentation: clone/fetch/upload., 2005-07-14).

Let's follow our own documentation to set a good example,
and to avoid breaking when this restriction is enforced in
the next patch.

afe7c5ff1f drop "match" parameter from get_remote_heads
The get_remote_heads function reads the list of remote refs
during git protocol session. It dates all the way back to
def88e9 (Commit first cut at "git-fetch-pack", 2005-07-04).
At that time, the idea was to come up with a list of refs we
were interested in, and then filter the list as we got it
from the remote side.

Later, 1baaae5 (Make maximal use of the remote refs,
2005-10-28) stopped filtering at the get_remote_heads layer,
letting us use the non-matching refs to find common history.

As a result, all callers now simply pass an empty match
list (and any future callers will want to do the same). So
let's drop these now-useless parameters.

Rename with "_unsafe" suffix to warn developers (or reviewers) before

34961d30da contrib: add credential helper for OS X Keychain
With this installed in your $PATH, you can store
git-over-http passwords in your keychain by doing:

  git config credential.helper osxkeychain

The code is based in large part on the work of Jay Soffian,
who wrote the helper originally for the initial, unpublished
version of the credential helper protocol.

This version will pass t0303 if you do:

  GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER=osxkeychain \
  GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_SETUP="export HOME=$HOME" \
  ./t0303-credential-external.sh

The "HOME" setup is unfortunately necessary. The test
scripts set HOME to the trash directory, but this causes the
keychain API to complain.

861444f6d7 t: add test harness for external credential helpers
We already have tests for the internal helpers, but it's
nice to give authors of external tools an easy way to
sanity-check their helpers.

If you have written the "git-credential-foo" helper, you can
do so with:

  GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER=foo \
  make t0303-credential-external.sh

This assumes that your helper is capable of both storing and
retrieving credentials (some helpers may be read-only, and
they will fail these tests).

If your helper supports time-based expiration with a
configurable timeout, you can test that feature like this:

  GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER_TIMEOUT="foo --timeout=1" \
  make t0303-credential-external.sh

21aeafceda add generic terminal prompt function
When we need to prompt the user for input interactively, we
want to access their terminal directly. We can't rely on
stdio because it may be connected to pipes or files, rather
than the terminal. Instead, we use "getpass()", because it
abstracts the idea of prompting and reading from the
terminal.  However, it has some problems:

  1. It never echoes the typed characters, which makes it OK
     for passwords but annoying for other input (like usernames).

  2. Some implementations of getpass() have an extremely
     small input buffer (e.g., Solaris 8 is reported to
     support only 8 characters).

  3. Some implementations of getpass() will fall back to
     reading from stdin (e.g., glibc). We explicitly don't
     want this, because our stdin may be connected to a pipe
     speaking a particular protocol, and reading will
     disrupt the protocol flow (e.g., the remote-curl
     helper).

  4. Some implementations of getpass() turn off signals, so
     that hitting "^C" on the terminal does not break out of
     the password prompt. This can be a mild annoyance.

Instead, let's provide an abstract "git_terminal_prompt"
function that addresses these concerns. This patch includes
an implementation based on /dev/tty, enabled by setting
HAVE_DEV_TTY. The fallback is to use getpass() as before.

  $ git mv one two
  fatal: destination exists, source=one, destination=two
  $ git mv -f one two
  warning: overwriting 'two'

this warning is just noise. We already know we're
overwriting; that's why we gave -f!

This patch silences the warning unless "--verbose" is given.

cd40b05d13 mv: improve overwrite warning
When we try to "git mv" over an existing file, the error
message is fairly informative:

  $ git mv one two
  fatal: destination exists, source=one, destination=two

When the user forces the overwrite, we give a warning:

  $ git mv -f one two
  warning: destination exists; will overwrite!

This is less informative, but still sufficient in the simple
rename case, as there is only one rename happening.

But when moving files from one directory to another, it
becomes useless:

  $ mkdir three
  $ touch one two three/one
  $ git add .
  $ git mv one two three
  fatal: destination exists, source=one, destination=three/one
  $ git mv -f one two three
  warning: destination exists; will overwrite!

The first message is helpful, but the second one gives us no
clue about what was overwritten. Let's mention the name of
the destination file:

  $ git mv -f one two three
  warning: overwriting 'three/one'

d596118d7a revert: stop creating and removing sequencer-old directory
Now that "git reset" no longer implicitly removes .git/sequencer that
the operator may or may not have wanted to keep, the logic to write a
backup copy of .git/sequencer and remove it when stale is not needed
any more.  Simplify the sequencer API and repository layout by
dropping it.

a7eff1e027 Revert "reset: Make reset remove the sequencer state"
This reverts commit 95eb88d8ee, which
was a UI experiment that did not reflect how "git reset" actually gets
used.  The reversion also fixes a test, indicated in the patch.

218b65fbf9 revert: do not remove state until sequence is finished
As v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~4 (2011-08-04) explains, git cherry-pick removes
the sequencer state just before applying the final patch.  In the
single-pick case, that was a good thing, since --abort and --continue
work fine without access to such state and removing it provides a
signal that git should not complain about the need to clobber it ("a
cherry-pick or revert is already in progress") in sequences like the
following:

	git cherry-pick foo
	git read-tree -m -u HEAD; # forget that; let's try a different one
	git cherry-pick bar

After the recent patch "allow single-pick in the middle of cherry-pick
sequence" we don't need that hack any more.  In the new regime, a
traditional "git cherry-pick <commit>" command never looks at
.git/sequencer, so we do not need to cripple "git cherry-pick
<commit>..<commit>" for it any more.

So now you can run "git cherry-pick --abort" near the end of a
multi-pick sequence and it will abort the entire sequence, instead of
misbehaving and aborting just the final commit.
