69915d88bc t4016-*.sh: Skip all tests rather than each test
Each test in this file is skipped if the TABS_IN_FILENAMES test
prerequisite is set. Use the 'skip_all' facility at the head of
the file to skip all of the tests instead.

46d98476cf t3300-*.sh: Fix a TAP parse error
At present, running the t3300-*.sh test on cygwin looks like:

    $ cd t
    $ ./t3300-funny-names.sh
    ok 1 - setup
    # passed all 1 test(s)
    1..1 # SKIP Your filesystem does not allow tabs in filenames
    $

Unfortunately, this is not valid TAP output, which prove notes
as follows:

    $ prove --exec sh t3300-funny-names.sh
    t3300-funny-names.sh .. All 1 subtests passed

    Test Summary Report
    -------------------
    t3300-funny-names.sh (Wstat: 0 Tests: 1 Failed: 0)
      Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output
    Files=1, Tests=1,  2 wallclock secs ( 0.05 usr  0.00 sys +  \
        0.90 cusr  0.49 csys =  1.43 CPU)
    Result: FAIL
    $

This is due to the 'trailing_plan' having a 'skip_directive'
attached to it. This is not allowed by the TAP grammar, which
only allows a 'leading_plan' to be followed by an optional
'skip_directive'. (see perldoc TAP::Parser::Grammar).

A trailing_plan is one that appears in the TAP output after one or
more test status lines (that start 'not '? 'ok ' ...), whereas a
leading_plan must appear before all test status lines (if any).

In practice, this means that the test script cannot contain a use
of the 'skip all' facility:

    skip_all='Some reason to skip *all* tests in this file'
    test_done

after having already executed one or more tests with (for example)
'test_expect_success'. Unfortunately, this is exactly what this
test script is doing. The first 'setup' test is actually used to
determine if the test prerequisite is satisfied by the filesystem
(ie does it allow tabs in filenames?).

In order to fix the parse errors, place the code to determine the
test prerequisite at the top level of the script, prior to the
first test, rather than as a parameter to test_expect_success.
This allows us to correctly use 'skip_all', thus:

    $ ./t3300-funny-names.sh
    # passed all 0 test(s)
    1..0 # SKIP Your filesystem does not allow tabs in filenames
    $

    $ prove --exec sh t3300-funny-names.sh
    t3300-funny-names.sh .. skipped: Your filesystem does not \
        allow tabs in filenames
    Files=1, Tests=0,  2 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr  0.03 sys +  \
        0.84 cusr  0.41 csys =  1.29 CPU)
    Result: NOTESTS

When fed such a commit, --format='%ci' fails to parse it, and gives
back an empty string.  Update the split_ident_line() to be a bit
more lenient when parsing, but make sure the caller that wants to
pick up sane value from its return value does its own validation.

f37d3c7552 reduce_heads(): reimplement on top of remove_redundant()
This is used by "git merge" and "git merge-base --independent" but
used to use a similar N*(N-1) traversals to reject commits that are
ancestors of other commits.

Reimplement it on top of remove_redundant().  Note that the callers
of this function are allowed to pass the same commit more than once,
but remove_redundant() is designed to be fed each commit only once.
The function removes duplicates before calling remove_redundant().

94f0ced0d0 get_merge_bases_many(): walk from many tips in parallel
The get_merge_bases_many() function reduces the result returned by
the merge_bases_many() function, which is a set of possible merge
bases, by excluding commits that can be reached from other commits.
We used to do N*(N-1) traversals for this, but we can check if one
commit reaches which other (N-1) commits by a single traversal, and
repeat it for all the candidates to find the answer.

Introduce remove_redundant() helper function to do this painting; we
should be able to use it to reimplement reduce_heads() as well.

da1f515641 merge_bases_many(): split out the logic to paint history
Introduce a new helper function paint_down_to_common() that takes
the same parameters as merge_bases_many(), but without the first
optimization of not painting anything when "one" is one of the
"twos" (or vice versa), and the last clean-up of removing the common
ancestor that is known to be an ancestor of another common one.

This way, the caller of the new function could tell if "one" is
reachable from any of the "twos" by simply looking at the flag bits
of "one".  If (and only if) it is painted in PARENT2, it is
reachable from one of the "twos".

a73e22e963 cherry-pick/revert: respect order of revisions to pick
When giving multiple individual revisions to cherry-pick or revert, as
in 'git cherry-pick A B' or 'git revert B A', one would expect them to
be picked/reverted in the order given on the command line. They are
instead ordered by their commit timestamp -- in chronological order
for "cherry-pick" and in reverse chronological order for
"revert". This matches the order in which one would usually give them
on the command line, making this bug somewhat hard to notice. Still,
it has been reported at least once before [1].

It seems like the chronological sorting happened by accident because
the revision walker has traditionally always sorted commits in reverse
chronological order when rev_info.no_walk was enabled. In the case of
'git revert B A' where B is newer than A, this sorting is a no-op. For
'git cherry-pick A B', the sorting would reverse the arguments, but
because the sequencer also flips the rev_info.reverse flag when
picking (as opposed to reverting), the end result is a chronological
order. The rev_info.reverse flag was probably flipped so that the
revision walker emits B before C in 'git cherry-pick A..C'; that it
happened to effectively undo the unexpected sorting done when not
walking, was probably a coincidence that allowed this bug to happen at
all.

Fix the bug by telling the revision walker not to sort the commits
when not walking. The only case we want to reverse the order is now
when cherry-picking and walking revisions (rev_info.no_walk = 0).

ca92e59e30 teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sorting
When 'git log' is passed the --no-walk option, no revision walk takes
place, naturally. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, however, the provided
revisions still get sorted by commit date. So e.g 'git log --no-walk
HEAD HEAD~1' and 'git log --no-walk HEAD~1 HEAD' give the same result
(unless the two revisions share the commit date, in which case they
will retain the order given on the command line). As the commit that
introduced --no-walk (8e64006 (Teach revision machinery about
--no-walk, 2007-07-24)) points out, the sorting is intentional, to
allow things like

 git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk

to show all refs in order by commit date.

But there are also other cases where the sorting is not wanted, such
as

 <command producing revisions in order> |
       git log --oneline --no-walk --stdin

To accomodate both cases, leave the decision of whether or not to sort
up to the caller, by allowing --no-walk={sorted,unsorted}, defaulting
to 'sorted' for backward-compatibility reasons.

assuming that the current branch is master. Show a message telling the
user how to undo their action and get what they wanted. For the
command above, the message would be

f9c75d858d log: fix --quiet synonym for -s
Originally the "--quiet" option was parsed by the
diff-option parser into the internal QUICK option. This had
the effect of silencing diff output from the log (which was
not intended, but happened to work and people started to
use it). But it also had other odd side effects at the diff
level (for example, it would suppress the second commit in
"git show A B").

To fix this, commit 1c40c36 converted log to parse-options
and handled the "quiet" option separately, not passing it
on to the diff code. However, it simply ignored the option,
which was a regression for people using it as a synonym for
"-s". Commit 01771a8 then fixed that by interpreting the
option to add DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT to the list of output
formats.

However, that commit did not fix it in all cases. It sets
the flag after setup_revisions is called. Naively, this
makes sense because you would expect the setup_revisions
parser to overwrite our output format flag if "-p" or
another output format flag is seen.

However, that is not how the NO_OUTPUT flag works. We
actually store it in the bit-field as just another format.
At the end of setup_revisions, we call diff_setup_done,
which post-processes the bitfield and clears any other
formats if we have set NO_OUTPUT. By setting the flag after
setup_revisions is done, diff_setup_done does not have a
chance to make this tweak, and we end up with other format
options still set.

As a result, the flag would have no effect in "git log -p
--quiet" or "git show --quiet".  Fix it by setting the
format flag before the call to setup_revisions.

In the next major release, we will switch "git push [$there]" that
does not say what to push from the traditional "matching" to the
updated "simple" semantics, that pushes the current branch to the
branch with the same name only when the current branch is set to
integrate with that remote branch (all other cases will error out).

  push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default

1452bd64f1 branch -v: align even when branch names are in UTF-8
Branch names are usually in ASCII so they are not the problem. The
problem most likely comes from "(no branch)" translation, which is
in UTF-8 and makes display-width calculation just wrong.  Clarify
this by renaming the field "len" in struct ref_item to "width", as
it stores the display-width and is used to compute the width of the
screen needed to show the names of all the branches, and compute the
display width using utf8_strwidth(), not byte-length with strlen().

Update document to mention the fact that we may want ref names in
UTF-8. Encodings that produce invalid UTF-8 are safe as utf8_strwidth()
falls back to strlen(). The ones that incidentally produce valid UTF-8
sequences will cause misalignment.

b81401c1de http: prompt for credentials on failed POST
All of the smart-http GET requests go through the http_get_*
functions, which will prompt for credentials and retry if we
see an HTTP 401.

POST requests, however, do not go through any central point.
Moreover, it is difficult to retry in the general case; we
cannot assume the request body fits in memory or is even
seekable, and we don't know how much of it was consumed
during the attempt.

Most of the time, this is not a big deal; for both fetching
and pushing, we make a GET request before doing any POSTs,
so typically we figure out the credentials during the first
request, then reuse them during the POST. However, some
servers may allow a client to get the list of refs from
receive-pack without authentication, and then require
authentication when the client actually tries to POST the
pack.

This is not ideal, as the client may do a non-trivial amount
of work to generate the pack (e.g., delta-compressing
objects). However, for a long time it has been the
recommended example configuration in git-http-backend(1) for
setting up a repository with anonymous fetch and
authenticated push. This setup has always been broken
without putting a username into the URL. Prior to commit
986bbc0, it did work with a username in the URL, because git
would prompt for credentials before making any requests at
all. However, post-986bbc0, it is totally broken. Since it
has been advertised in the manpage for some time, we should
make sure it works.

Unfortunately, it is not as easy as simply calling post_rpc
again when it fails, due to the input issue mentioned above.
However, we can still make this specific case work by
retrying in two specific instances:

  1. If the request is large (bigger than LARGE_PACKET_MAX),
     we will first send a probe request with a single flush
     packet. Since this request is static, we can freely
     retry it.

  2. If the request is small and we are not using gzip, then
     we have the whole thing in-core, and we can freely
     retry.

That means we will not retry in some instances, including:

  1. If we are using gzip. However, we only do so when
     calling git-upload-pack, so it does not apply to
     pushes.

  2. If we have a large request, the probe succeeds, but
     then the real POST wants authentication. This is an
     extremely unlikely configuration and not worth worrying
     about.

While it might be nice to cover those instances, doing so
would be significantly more complex for very little
real-world gain. In the long run, we will be much better off
when curl learns to internally handle authentication as a
callback, and we can cleanly handle all cases that way.

8809703072 http: factor out http error code handling
Most of our http requests go through the http_request()
interface, which does some nice post-processing on the
results. In particular, it handles prompting for missing
credentials as well as approving and rejecting valid or
invalid credentials. Unfortunately, it only handles GET
requests. Making it handle POSTs would be quite complex, so
let's pull result handling code into its own function so
that it can be reused from the POST code paths.

4c71009da6 t: test http access to "half-auth" repositories
Some sites set up http access to repositories such that
fetching is anonymous and unauthenticated, but pushing is
authenticated. While there are multiple ways to do this, the
technique advertised in the git-http-backend manpage is to
block access to locations matching "/git-receive-pack$".

Let's emulate that advice in our test setup, which makes it
clear that this advice does not actually work.

6ac2b3aeb9 t: test basic smart-http authentication
We do not currently test authentication over smart-http at
all. In theory, it should work exactly as it does for dumb
http (which we do test). It does indeed work for these
simple tests, but this patch lays the groundwork for more
complex tests in future patches.

666aae9aed t/lib-httpd: recognize */smart/* repos as smart-http
We do not currently test authentication for smart-http repos
at all. Part of the infrastructure to do this is recognizing
that auth/smart is indeed a smart-http repo.

The current apache config recognizes only "^/smart/*" as
smart-http. Let's instead treat anything with /smart/ in the
URL as smart-http. This is obviously a stupid thing to do
for a real production site, but for our test suite we know
that our repositories will not have this magic string in the
name.

Note that we will route /foo/smart/bar.git directly to
git-http-backend/bar.git; in other words, everything before
the "/smart/" is irrelevant to finding the repo on disk (but
may impact apache config, for example by triggering auth
checks).

05b577107d t/lib-httpd: only route auth/dumb to dumb repos
Our test apache config points all of auth/ directly to the
on-disk repositories via an Alias directive. This works fine
because everything authenticated is currently in auth/dumb,
which is a subset.  However, this would conflict with a
ScriptAlias for auth/smart (which will come in future
patches), so let's narrow the Alias.
