diff-config.txt, 2011-04-07) moved the diff configuration options to
diff-config.txt, but forgot about diff.wordRegex, which was left
behind in config.txt. Fix this.

Use $TMPDIR when creating the /dev/null placeholder for p4merge.
This prevents users from finding a seemingly random untracked file
in their worktree.
This is different than what mergetool does with $LOCAL and
$REMOTE because those files exist to aid users when resolving
merges. p4merge's /dev/null placeholder is not helpful in that
situation so it is sensible to keep it out of the worktree.

The previous commit documented two known breakages revolving around
a case where one side flips a tree into a blob (or vice versa),
where the original code simply gets confused and feeds a mixture of
trees and blobs into either the recursive merge-tree (and recursing
into the blob will fail) or three-way merge (and merging tree contents
together with blobs will fail).
Fix it by feeding trees (and only trees) into the recursive
merge-tree machinery and blobs (and only blobs) into the three-way
content level merge machinery separately; when this happens, the
entire merge has to be marked as conflicting at the structure level.

Rename the "branch1" parameter given to resolve() to "ours", to
clarify what is going on. Also, annotate the unresolved_directory()
function with some comments to show what decisions are made in each
step, and highlight two bugs that need to be fixed.

Some platforms (e.g. NetBSD 6.0) seem to configure their CVS to
allow "cvs init" in an existing directory only to members of
"cvsadmin".
Instead of preparing an empty directory and then running "cvs init"
on it, let's run "cvs init" and let it create the necessary

cherry-picking into an unborn branch should work, so make it work,
with or without --ff.
Cherry-picking anything other than a commit that only adds files, will
naturally result in conflicts. Similarly, revert also works, but will
result in conflicts unless the specified revision only deletes files.

The --reroll-count=$N option, when given a positive integer:
- Adds " v$N" to the subject prefix specified. As the default
subject prefix string is "PATCH", --reroll-count=2 makes it
"PATCH v2".
- Prefixes "v$N-" to the names used for output files. The cover
letter, whose name is usually 0000-cover-letter.patch, becomes
v2-0000-cover-letter.patch when given --reroll-count=2.
This allows users to use the same --output-directory for multiple
iterations of the same series, without letting the output for a
newer round overwrite output files from the earlier rounds. The
user can incorporate materials from earlier rounds to update the
newly minted iteration, and use "send-email v2-*.patch" to send out
the patches belonging to the second iteration easily.

The function switched between two operating modes depending on the
NULL-ness of its two parameters, as a hacky way to share small part
of implementation, sacrificing cleanliness of the API.
Implement "fmt_output_subject()" function that takes a subject
string and gives the name for the output file, and on top of it,
implement "fmt_output_commit()" function that takes a commit and
gives the name for the output file.

The function chooses from three operating modes (format using the

Most functions that emit to a strbuf take the strbuf as their first

When we delete a ref that is packed, we rewrite the whole
packed-refs file and simply omit the ref that no longer
exists. However, we base the rewrite on whatever happens to
be in our refs cache, not what is necessarily on disk. That
opens us up to a race condition if another process is
simultaneously packing the refs, as we will overwrite their
newly-made pack-refs file with our potentially stale data,
losing commits.
You can demonstrate the race like this:
# setup some repositories
git init --bare parent &&
(cd parent && git config core.logallrefupdates true) &&
git clone parent child &&
(cd child && git commit --allow-empty -m base)
# in one terminal, repack the refs repeatedly
cd parent &&
while true; do
git pack-refs --all
done
# in another terminal, simultaneously push updates to
# master, and create and delete an unrelated ref
cd child &&
while true; do
git push origin HEAD:newbranch &&
git commit --allow-empty -m foo
us=`git rev-parse master` &&
git push origin master &&
git push origin :newbranch &&
them=`git --git-dir=../parent rev-parse master` &&
if test "$them" != "$us"; then
echo >&2 "$them" != "$us"
exit 1
fi
done
In many cases the two processes will conflict over locking
the packed-refs file, and the deletion of newbranch will
simply fail. But eventually you will hit the race, which
happens like this:
1. We push a new commit to master. It is already packed
(from the looping pack-refs call). We write the new
value (let us call it B) to $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master,
but the old value (call it A) remains in the
packed-refs file.
2. We push the deletion of newbranch, spawning a
receive-pack process. Receive-pack advertises all refs
to the client, causing it to iterate over each ref; it
caches the packed refs in memory, which points at the
stale value A.
3. Meanwhile, a separate pack-refs process is running. It
runs to completion, updating the packed-refs file to
point master at B, and deleting $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master
which also pointed at B.
4. Back in the receive-pack process, we get the
instruction to delete :newbranch. We take a lock on
packed-refs (which works, as the other pack-refs
process has already finished). We then rewrite the
contents using the cached refs, which contain the stale
value A.
The resulting packed-refs file points master once again at
A. The loose ref which would override it to point at B was
deleted (rightfully) in step 3. As a result, master now
points at A. The only trace that B ever existed in the
parent is in the reflog: the final entry will show master
moving from A to B, even though the ref still points at A
(so you can detect this race after the fact, because the
next reflog entry will move from A to C).
We can fix this by invalidating the packed-refs cache after
we have taken the lock. This means that we will re-read the
packed-refs file, and since we have the lock, we will be
sure that what we read will be atomically up-to-date when we
write (it may be out of date with respect to loose refs, but
that is OK, as loose refs take precedence).

Change color of unexpectedly fixed known breakages to bold red. An
unexpectedly passing test indicates that the test code is somehow
broken or out of sync with the code it is testing. Either way this is
an error which is potentially as bad as a failing test, and as such is

Now that we've adopted a "traffic lights" coloring scheme, yellow is
used for warning messages, so we need to re-color info messages to
something less alarmist. Blue is a universal color for informational
messages; however we are using that for skipped tests in order to
align with the color schemes of other test suites. Therefore we use
cyan which is also blue-ish, but visually distinct from blue.
This was suggested on the list a while ago and no-one raised any
objections:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/205675/focus=205966
An earlier iteration of this patch used bold cyan, but the point of
this change is to make them less alarming; let's drop the boldness.
Also paint the message to report skipping the whole thing via
GIT_SKIP_TESTS mechanism in the same color as the "info" color
that is used on the final summary line for the entire script.
