94ea026b35 apply --whitespace: warn blank but not necessarily empty lines at EOF
The whitespace error of adding blank lines at the end of file should
trigger if you added a non-empty line at the end, if the contents of the
line is full of whitespaces.

77b15bbd88 apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF
"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.

Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.

The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes.  The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors.  It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.

Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix.  Or you could call it a new feature.  The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.

Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have.  People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

92a1747eea apply.c: split check_whitespace() into two
This splits the logic to record the presence of whitespace errors out of
the check_whitespace() function, which checks and then records.  The new
function, record_ws_error(), can be used by the blank-at-eof check that
does not use ws_check() logic to report its findings in the same output
format.

efa574438f apply --whitespace=fix: detect new blank lines at eof correctly
The command tries to strip blank lines at the end of the file added by a
patch.  It is done by first detecting if a hunk in patch has additional
blank lines at the end of itself, and if so checking if such a hunk
applies at the end of file.  This patch addresses a bug in the logic to
implement the former (the previous one addressed a bug in the latter).

If the original ends with blank lines, often the patch hunk ends like
this:

    @@ -l,5 +m,7 @@$
    _context$
    _context$
    -deleted$
    +$
    +$
    +$
    _$
    _$

where _ stands for SP and $ shows a end-of-line.  This example patch adds
three trailing blank lines, but the code fails to notice it, because it
only pays attention to added blank lines at the very end of the hunk.  In
this example, the three added blank lines do not appear textually at the
end in the patch, even though you can see that they are indeed added at
the end, if you rearrange the diff like this:

    @@ -l,5 +m,7 @@$
    _context$
    _context$
    -deleted$
    _$
    _$
    +$
    +$
    +$

The fix is not to reset the number of (candidate) added blank lines at the
end when the loop sees a context line that is empty.

ef2035c5e5 apply --whitespace=fix: fix handling of blank lines at the eof
b94f2ed (builtin-apply.c: make it more line oriented, 2008-01-26) broke
the logic used to detect if a hunk adds blank lines at the end of the
file.  With the new code after that commit:

 - img holds the contents of the file that the hunk is being applied to;

 - preimage has the lines the hunk expects to be in img; and

 - postimage has the lines the hunk wants to update the part in img that
   corresponds to preimage with.

and we need to compare if the last line of preimage (not postimage)
matches the last line of img to see if the hunk applies at the end of the
file.

We carefully verify that the input to git-apply is sane,
including cross-checking that the filenames we see in "+++"
headers match what was provided on the command line of "diff
--git". When --directory is used, however, we ended up
comparing the unadorned name to one with the prepended root,
causing us to complain about a mismatch.

We simply need to prepend the root directory, if any, when
pulling the name out of the git header.

ed0f47a8c4 git-apply: Loosen "match_beginning" logic
Even after a handfle attempts, match_beginning logic still has corner
cases:

    1bf1a85 (apply: treat EOF as proper context., 2006-05-23)
    65aadb9 (apply: force matching at the beginning., 2006-05-24)
    4be6096 (apply --unidiff-zero: loosen sanity checks ..., 2006-09-17)
    ee5a317 (Fix "git apply" to correctly enforce "match ..., 2008-04-06)

This is a tricky piece of code.

We still incorrectly enforce "match_beginning" for -U0 matches.
I noticed this while trying out an example sequence from Clemens Buchacher:

    $ echo a >victim
    $ git add victim
    $ echo b >>victim
    $ git diff -U0 >patch
    $ cat patch
    diff --git i/victim w/victim
    index 7898192..422c2b7 100644
    --- i/victim
    +++ w/victim
    @@ -1,0 +2 @@ a
    +b
    $ git apply --cached --unidiff-zero <patch
    $ git show :victim
    b
    a

The change inserts a new line before the second line, but we insist it to
be applied at the beginning.  As the result, the code refuses to apply it
at the original offset, and we end up adding the line at the beginning.

Updates to the test script are by Clemens Buchacher.

a9a3e82e6d apply: fix copy/rename breakage
7ebd52a (Merge branch 'dz/apply-again', 2008-07-01) taught "git-apply" to
grok a (non-git) patch that is a concatenation of separate patches that
touch the same file number of times, by recording the postimage of patch
application of previous round and using it as the preimage for later
rounds.

This "incremental" mode of patch application fundamentally contradicts
with the way git rename/copy patches are designed.  When a git patch talks
about a file A getting modified, and a new file B created out of A, like
this:

	diff --git a/A b/A
	--- a/A
	+++ b/A
	... change text here ...
	diff --git a/A b/B
	copy from A
	copy to B
	--- a/A
	+++ b/B
	... change text here ...

the second change to produce B does not depend on what is done to A with
the first change in any way.  This is explicitly done so for reviewability
of individual patches.

With this commit, we do not look at 'fn_table' that records the postimage
of previous round when applying a patch to produce a new file out of an
existing file.

7a07841c0b git-apply: handle a patch that touches the same path more than once better
When working with a lot of people who backport patches all day long, every
once in a while I get a patch that modifies the same file more than once
inside the same patch.  git-apply either fails if the second change relies
on the first change or silently drops the first change if the second change
is independent.

The silent part is the scary scenario for us.  Also this behaviour is
different from the patch-utils.

I have modified git-apply to create a table of the filenames of files it
modifies such that if a later patch chunk modifies a file in the table it
will buffer the previously changed file instead of reading the original file
from disk.

Logic has been put in to handle creations/deletions/renames/copies.  All the
relevant tests of git-apply succeed.

A new test has been added to cover the cases I addressed.

The fix is relatively straight-forward.

When we see no context nor deleted line in the patch, we used to declare
that the patch creates a new file.  But some people create an empty file
and then apply a patch to it.  Similarly, a patch that delete everything
is not a deletion patch either.

This commit corrects these two issues.  Together with the previous commit,
it allows a diff between an empty file and a line-ful file to be treated

depending on the context.  A new test t4126 demonstrates the fix.

Linus Torvalds
c40641b77b Optimize symlink/directory detection
This is the base for making symlink detection in the middle fo a pathname
saner and (much) more efficient.

Under various loads, we want to verify that the full path leading up to a
filename is a real directory tree, and that when we successfully do an
'lstat()' on a filename, we don't get a false positive due to a symlink in
the middle of the path that git should have seen as a symlink, not as a
normal path component.

The 'has_symlink_leading_path()' function already did this, and cached
a single level of symlink information, but didn't cache the _lack_ of a
symlink, so the normal behaviour was actually the wrong way around, and we
ended up doing an 'lstat()' on each path component to check that it was a
real directory.

This caches the last detected full directory and symlink entries, and
speeds up especially deep directory structures a lot by avoiding to
lstat() all the directories leading up to each entry in the index.

[ This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we eventually
  never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all* when checking the
  index, but always check the full path carefully. Right now we do not
  generally check the whole path for all our normal quick index
  revalidation.

  We should also make sure that we're careful about all the invalidation,
  ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory we should
  invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa for the
  directory cache).

  But regardless, the basic function needs to be sane to do that. The old
  'has_symlink_leading_path()' was not capable enough - or indeed the code
  readable enough - to really do that sanely. So I'm pushing this as not
  just an optimization, but as a base for further work. ]

An earlier commit 4be6096 (apply --unidiff-zero: loosen sanity checks for

computed incorrectly.  If a hunk inserts at the beginning, old position
recorded at the hunk is line 0, and if a hunk changes at the beginning, it
is line 1.  The new test added to t4104 exposes that the old code did not
insist on matching at the beginning for a patch to add a line to an empty
file.

An even older 65aadb9 (apply: force matching at the beginning.,
2006-05-24) was equally wrong in that it tried to take hints from the
number of leading context lines, to decide if the hunk must match at the
beginning, but we can just look at the line number in the hunk to decide.

21e5ad50fc safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversions
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout.  A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git.  For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.

If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes.  Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted.  You can explicitly tell
git that this file is binary and git will handle the file
appropriately.

Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished.  In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way.  For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.

This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about
an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert.  The
mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the
following values:

 - false: disable safecrlf mechanism
 - warn: warn about irreversible conversions
 - true: refuse irreversible conversions

The default is to warn.  Users are only affected by this default
if core.autocrlf is set.  But the current default of git is to
leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless
they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism.

The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command.  The
general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are:

 - we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an
   irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the
   original file.

 - for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree
   we do not not print annoying warnings.

There are exceptions.  Even though...

 - "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the
   next checkout would, so the safety triggers;

 - "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files
   in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF
   conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the
   safety does not trigger;

 - "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is
   often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add".  To
   catch potential problems early, safety triggers.

The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar
way by Linus Torvalds.  Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting
on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right.

b2979ff599 core.whitespace: cr-at-eol
This new error mode allows a line to have a carriage return at the
end of the line when checking and fixing trailing whitespace errors.

Some people like to keep CRLF line ending recorded in the repository,
and still want to take advantage of the automated trailing whitespace
stripping.  We still show ^M in the diff output piped to "less" to
remind them that they do have the CR at the end, but these carriage
return characters at the end are no longer flagged as errors.

c1beba5b47 git-apply --whitespace=fix: fix whitespace fuzz introduced by previous run
When you have more than one patch series, an earlier one of which
tries to introduce whitespace breakages and a later one of which
has such a new line in its context, "git-apply --whitespace=fix"
will apply and fix the whitespace breakages in the earlier one,
making the resulting file not to match the context of the later
patch.

A short demonstration is in the new test, t4125.

For example, suppose the first patch is:

    diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt
    --- a/hello.txt
    +++ b/hello.txt
    @@ -20,3 +20,3 @@
     Hello world.$
    -How Are you$
    -Today?$
    +How are you $
    +today? $

to fix broken case in the string, but it introduces unwanted
trailing whitespaces to the result (pretend you are looking at
"cat -e" output of the patch --- '$' signs are not in the patch
but are shown to make the EOL stand out).  And the second patch
is to change the wording of the greeting further:

    diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt
    --- a/hello.txt
    +++ b/hello.txt
    @@ -18,5 +18,5 @@
     Greetings $

    -Hello world.$
    +Hello, everybody. $
     How are you $
    -today? $
    +these days? $

If you apply the first one with --whitespace=fix, you will get
this as the result:

    Hello world.$
    How are you$
    today?$

and this does not match the preimage of the second patch, which
demands extra whitespace after "How are you" and "today?".

This series is about teaching "git apply --whitespace=fix" to
cope with this situation better.  If the patch does not apply,
it rewrites the second patch like this and retries:

    diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt
    --- a/hello.txt
    +++ b/hello.txt
    @@ -18,5 +18,5 @@
     Greetings$

    -Hello world.$
    +Hello, everybody.$
     How are you$
    -today?$
    +these days?$

This is done by rewriting the preimage lines in the hunk
(i.e. the lines that begin with ' ' or '-'), using the same
whitespace fixing rules as it is using to apply the patches, so
that it can notice what it did to the previous ones in the
series.

A careful reader may notice that the first patch in the example
did not touch the "Greetings" line, so the trailing whitespace
that is in the original preimage of the second patch is not from
the series.  Is rewriting this context line a problem?

If you think about it, you will realize that the reason for the
difference is because the submitter's tree was based on an
earlier version of the file that had whitespaces wrong on that
"Greetings" line, and the change that introduced the "Greetings"
line was added independently of this two-patch series to our
tree already with an earlier "git apply --whitespace=fix".

So it may appear this logic is rewriting too much, it is not
so.  It is just rewriting what we would have rewritten in the
past.
