When given a variable without a value, such as '[section] var' and
asking git-config to treat it as a path, git_config_pathname returns
an error and doesn't modify its output parameter. show_config assumes
that the call is always successful and sets a variable to indicate
that vptr should be freed. In case of an error however, trying to do
this will cause the program to be killed, as it's pointing to memory
in the stack.
Detect the error and return immediately to avoid freeing or accessing
the uninitialed memory in the stack.

We keep track of whether the user ident was given to us
explicitly, or if we guessed at it from system parameters
like username and hostname. However, we kept only a single
variable. This covers the common cases (because the author
and committer will usually come from the same explicit
source), but can miss two cases:
1. GIT_COMMITTER_* is set explicitly, but we fallback for
GIT_AUTHOR. We claim the ident is explicit, even though
the author is not.
2. GIT_AUTHOR_* is set and we ask for author ident, but
not committer ident. We will claim the ident is
implicit, even though it is explicit.
This patch uses two variables instead of one, updates both
when we set the "fallback" values, and updates them
individually when we read from the environment.
Rather than keep user_ident_sufficiently_given as a
compatibility wrapper, we update the only two callers to
check the committer_ident, which matches their intent and
what was happening already.

The reason is that the unborn branch is a special case (see abe1998),

The git-config command has always implemented its own file
lookup and parsing order. This was necessary because its
duplicate-entry handling did not match the way git's
internal callbacks worked. Now that this is no longer the
case, we are free to reuse the existing parsing code.
This saves us a few lines of code, but most importantly, it
means that the logic for which files are examined is
contained only in one place and cannot diverge.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
If git-config is asked for a single value, it will complain
and exit with an error if it finds multiple instances of
that value. This is unlike the usual internal config
parsing, however, which will generally overwrite previous
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.

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.

The get_value function has a goto label for cleaning up on
errors, but it only cleans up half of what the function
might allocate. Let's also clean up the key and regexp
variables there.
Note that we need to take special care when compiling the
regex fails to clean it up ourselves, since it is in a
half-constructed state (we would want to free it, but not
regfree it).
Similarly, we fix git_config_parse_key to return NULL when
it fails, not a pointer to some already-freed memory.

You can currently set the output format to --short or
--porcelain. There is no --long, because we default to it
already. However, you may want to override an alias that
uses "--short" to get back to the default.
This requires a little bit of refactoring, because currently
we use STATUS_FORMAT_LONG internally to mean the same as
"the user did not specify anything". By expanding the enum
to include STATUS_FORMAT_NONE, we can distinguish between
the implicit and explicit cases. This effects these
conditions:
1. The user has asked for NUL termination. With NONE, we
currently default to turning on the porcelain mode.
With an explicit --long, we would in theory use NUL
termination with the long mode, but it does not support
it. So we can just complain and die.
2. When an output format is given to "git commit", we
default to "--dry-run". This behavior would now kick in
when "--long" is given, too.

Before a branch is deleted, we check that it points to a valid
commit. With -d we also check that the commit is a merged; this
check is not done with -D.
The reason for that is that commits pointed to by branches should
never go missing; if they do then something broke and it's better
to stop instead of adding to the mess. And a non-merged commit
may contain changes that are worth preserving, so we require the
stronger option -D instead of -d to get rid of them.
If a branch consists of a symref, these concerns don't apply.
Deleting such a branch can't make a commit become unreferenced,
so we don't need to check if it is merged, or even if it is
actually a valid commit. Skip them in that case. This allows
us to delete dangling symref branches.

- grep on the index
- grep a commit (or a tag if it points to a commit)
so that these cases look up .gitattributes at proper paths.

The grep_config() function takes one instance of grep_opt as its
callback parameter, and populates it by running git_config().
This has three practical implications:
- You have to have an instance of grep_opt already when you call
the configuration, but that is not necessarily always true. You
may be trying to initialize the grep_filter member of rev_info,
but are not ready to call init_revisions() on it yet.
- It is not easy to enhance grep_config() in such a way to make it
cascade to other callback functions to grab other variables in
one call of git_config(); grep_config() can be cascaded into from
other callbacks, but it has to be at the leaf level of a cascade.
- If you ever need to use more than one instance of grep_opt, you
will have to open and read the configuration file(s) every time
you initialize them.
Rearrange the configuration mechanism and model it after how diff
configuration variables are handled. An early call to git_config()
reads and remembers the values taken from the configuration in the
default "template", and a separate call to grep_init() uses this
template to instantiate a grep_opt.
The next step will be to move some of this out of this file so that
the other user of the grep machinery (i.e. "log") can use it.

The idea of the peel_ref function is to dereference tag
objects recursively until we hit a non-tag, and return the
sha1. Conceptually, it should return 0 if it is successful
(and fill in the sha1), or -1 if there was nothing to peel.
However, the current behavior is much more confusing. For a
regular loose ref, the behavior is as described above. But
there is an optimization to reuse the peeled-ref value for a
ref that came from a packed-refs file. If we have such a
ref, we return its peeled value, even if that peeled value
is null (indicating that we know the ref definitely does
_not_ peel).
It might seem like such information is useful to the caller,
who would then know not to bother loading and trying to peel
the object. Except that they should not bother loading and
trying to peel the object _anyway_, because that fallback is
already handled by peel_ref. In other words, the whole point
of calling this function is that it handles those details
internally, and you either get a sha1, or you know that it
is not peel-able.
This patch catches the null sha1 case internally and
converts it into a -1 return value (i.e., there is nothing
to peel). This simplifies callers, which do not need to
bother checking themselves.
Two callers are worth noting:
- in pack-objects, a comment indicates that there is a
difference between non-peelable tags and unannotated
tags. But that is not the case (before or after this
patch). Whether you get a null sha1 has to do with
internal details of how peel_ref operated.
- in show-ref, if peel_ref returns a failure, the caller
tries to decide whether to try peeling manually based on
whether the REF_ISPACKED flag is set. But this doesn't
make any sense. If the flag is set, that does not
necessarily mean the ref came from a packed-refs file
with the "peeled" extension. But it doesn't matter,
because even if it didn't, there's no point in trying to
peel it ourselves, as peel_ref would already have done
so. In other words, the fallback peeling is guaranteed
to fail.

Currently "git am" does insane things if the mbox it is given contains
attachments with a MIME type that aren't "text/*".
In particular, it will still decode them, and pass them "one line at a
time" to the mail body filter, but because it has determined that they
aren't text (without actually looking at the contents, just at the mime
type) the "line" will be the encoding line (eg 'base64') rather than a
line of *content*.
Which then will cause the text filtering to fail, because we won't
correctly notice when the attachment text switches from the commit message
to the actual patch. Resulting in a patch failure, even if patch may be a
perfectly well-formed attachment, it's just that the message type may be
(for example) "application/octet-stream" instead of "text/plain".
Just remove all the bogus games with the message_type. The only difference
that code creates is how the data is passed to the filter function
(chunked per-pred-code line or per post-decode line), and that difference
is *wrong*, since chunking things per pre-decode line can never be a
sensible operation, and cannot possibly matter for binary data anyway.
This code goes all the way back to March of 2007, in commit 87ab799234
("builtin-mailinfo.c infrastrcture changes"), and apparently Don used to
pass random mbox contents to git. However, the pre-decode vs post-decode
logic really shouldn't matter even for that case, and more importantly, "I
fed git am crap" is not a valid reason to break *real* patch attachments.
If somebody really cares, and determines that some attachment is binary
data (by looking at the data, not the MIME-type), the whole attachment
should be dismissed, rather than fed in random-sized chunks to
"handle_filter()".

Currently using "git rm" on a submodule - populated or not - fails with
this error:
fatal: git rm: '<submodule path>': Is a directory
This made sense in the past as there was no way to remove a submodule
without possibly removing unpushed parts of the submodule's history
contained in its .git directory too, so erroring out here protected the
user from possible loss of data.
But submodules cloned with a recent git version do not contain the .git
directory anymore, they use a gitfile to point to their git directory
which is safely stored inside the superproject's .git directory. The work
tree of these submodules can safely be removed without losing history, so
let's teach git to do so.
Using rm on an unpopulated submodule now removes the empty directory from
the work tree and the gitlink from the index. If the submodule's directory
is missing from the work tree, it will still be removed from the index.
Using rm on a populated submodule using a gitfile will apply the usual
checks for work tree modification adapted to submodules (unless forced).
For a submodule that means that the HEAD is the same as recorded in the
index, no tracked files are modified and no untracked files that aren't
ignored are present in the submodules work tree (ignored files are deemed
expendable and won't stop a submodule's work tree from being removed).
That logic has to be applied in all nested submodules too.
Using rm on a submodule which has its .git directory inside the work trees
top level directory will just error out like it did before to protect the
repository, even when forced. In the future git could either provide a
message informing the user to convert the submodule to use a gitfile or
even attempt to do the conversion itself, but that is not part of this
change.

Receive-pack invokes either unpack-objects or index-pack to
handle the incoming pack. However, we do not redirect the
stderr of the sub-processes at all, so it is never seen by
the client. From the initial thread adding sideband support,
which is here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/139471
it is clear that some messages are specifically kept off the
sideband (with the assumption that they are of interest only
to an administrator, not the client). The stderr of the
subprocesses is mentioned in the thread, but it's unclear if
they are included in that group, or were simply forgotten.
However, there are a few good reasons to show them to the
client:
1. In many cases, they are directly about the incoming
packfile (e.g., fsck warnings with --strict, corruption
in the packfile, etc). Without these messages, the
client just gets "unpacker error" with no extra useful
diagnosis.
2. No matter what the cause, we are probably better off
showing the errors to the client. If the client and the
server admin are not the same entity, it is probably
much easier for the client to cut-and-paste the errors
they see than for the admin to try to dig them out of a
log and correlate them with a particular session.
3. Users of the ssh transport typically already see these
stderr messages, as the remote's stderr is copied
literally by ssh. This brings other transports (http,
and push-over-git if you are crazy enough to enable it)
more in line with ssh. As a bonus for ssh users,
because the messages are now fed through the sideband
and printed by the local git, they will have "remote:"
prepended and be properly interleaved with any local
output to stderr.

After running "git clone --single", the resulting repository has the
usual default "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" wildcard fetch
refspec installed, which means that a subsequent "git fetch" will
end up grabbing all the other branches.
Update the fetch refspec to cover only the singly cloned ref instead
to correct this.
That means:
If "--single" is used without "--branch" or "--mirror", the
fetch refspec covers the branch on which remote's HEAD points to.
If "--single" is used with "--branch", it'll cover only the branch
specified in the "--branch" option.
If "--single" is combined with "--mirror", then it'll cover all
refs of the cloned repository.
If "--single" is used with "--branch" that specifies a tag, then
it'll cover only the ref for this tag.

Our "grep" allows complex boolean expressions to be formed to match

Also "log" learns "--grep-debug" option to do the same. The command
line parser to the log family is a lot more limited than the general
"git grep" parser, but it has special handling for header matching
(e.g. "--author"), and a parse tree is valuable when working on it.
Note that "--all-match" is *not* any individual node in the parse
tree. It is an instruction to the evaluator to check all the nodes
in the top-level backbone have matched and reject a document as
non-matching otherwise.

"git blame file" has always meant "find the origin of each line of
the file in the history leading to HEAD, oh by the way, blame the
lines that are modified locally to the working tree".
This teaches "git blame" that during a conflicted merge, some
uncommitted changes may have come from the other history that is
being merged.
The verify_working_tree_path() function introduced in the previous
patch to notice a typo in the filename (primarily on case insensitive
filesystems) has been updated to allow a filename that does not exist
in HEAD (i.e. the tip of our history) as long as it exists one of the
commits being merged, so that a "we deleted, the other side modified"
case tracks the history of the file in the history of the other side.

checkout operates in three different modes. On top of that it tries to
be smart by guessing the branch name for switching. This results in
messy option handling code. This patch reorders it so that
- cmd_checkout() is responsible for parsing, preparing input and
determining mode
- Code of each mode is in checkout_paths() and checkout_branch(),
where sanity checks are performed
Another slight improvement is always print branch name (or commit
name) when printing errors related ot them. This helps catch the case
where an option is mistaken as branch/commit.

"git blame MAKEFILE" run in a history that has "Makefile" but not
MAKEFILE can get confused on a case insensitive filesystem, because
the check we run to see if there is a corresponding file in the
working tree with lstat("MAKEFILE") succeeds. In addition to that
check, we have to make sure that the given path also exists in the
commit we start digging history from (i.e. "HEAD").
Note that this reveals the breakage in a test added in cd8ae20

which expects the entire merge-in-progress path to be blamed to the
working tree when it did not exist in our tree. As it is clear in
the log message of that commit, the old breakage was that it was
causing an internal error and the fix was about avoiding it.
Just check that the command does not die an uncontrolled death. For
this particular case, the blame should fail, as the history for the
file in that contents has not been committed yet at the point in the
test.

fetch_populated_submodules() allocates the full argv array it uses to

which won't change during the iteration and copies the given options into
it. Inside the loop the two argv values different for each submodule get
replaced with those currently valid.
However, this technique is brittle and error-prone (as the comment to

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).

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.

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.

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

Back when "git apply" was written, we made sure that the user can
skip more than the default number of path components (i.e. 1) by
giving "-p<n>", but the logic for doing so was built around the
notion of "we skip N slashes and stop". This obviously does not
work well when running under -p0 where we do not want to skip any,
but still want to skip SP/HT that separates the pathnames of
preimage and postimage and want to reject absolute pathnames.
Stop using "stop_at_slash()", and instead introduce a new helper
"skip_tree_prefix()" with similar logic but works correctly even for
the -p0 case.
This is an ancient bug, but has been masked for a long time because
most of the patches are text and have other clues to tell us the

The existing --set-uptream option can cause confusion, as it uses the

branch. As --set-upstream already exists, we can't simply change its

accepts a compulsory argument indicating what the new upstream branch
should be and one optinal argument indicating which branch to change,

Commit ff5effdf taught both clients and servers of the git protocol
to send an "agent" capability that just advertises their version for
statistics and debugging purposes. The protocol-capabilities.txt
document however indicates that the client's advertisement is
actually a response, and should never include capabilities not
mentioned in the server's advertisement.
Adding the unconditional advertisement in the server programs was
OK, then, but the clients broke the protocol. The server
implementation of git-core itself does not care, but at least one
does: the Google Code git server (or any server using Dulwich), will
hang up with an internal error upon seeing an unknown capability.
Instead, each client must record whether we saw an agent string from
the server, and respond with its agent only if the server mentioned
it first.

If we have capabilities to send to the server, we send the
regular "want" line followed by a NUL, then the
capabilities; otherwise, we do not even send the NUL.
However, when checking whether we want to send the "quiet"
capability, we check args->quiet, which is wrong. That flag
only tells us whether the client side wanted to be quiet,
not whether the server supports it (originally, in c207e34f,
it meant both; however, that was later split into two flags
by 01fdc21f).
We still check the right flag when actually printing
"quiet", so this could only have two effects:
1. We might send the trailing NUL when we do not otherwise
need to. In theory, an antique pre-capability
implementation of git might choke on this (since the
client is instructed never to respond with capabilities
that the server has not first advertised).
2. We might also want to send the quiet flag if the
args->progress flag is false, but this code path would
not trigger in that instance.
In practice, it almost certainly never matters. The
report-status capability dates back to 2005. Any real-world
server is going to advertise that, and we will always
respond with at least that capability.

"git prune" reports removal of loose object files that are no longer

The original thinking was that the presence of a leftover temporary

failure of some sort, and the user may want to be reminded of it.
Removing an unnecessary loose object file, on the other hand, is

Instead of having the client advertise a particular version
number in the git protocol, we have managed extensions and
backwards compatibility by having clients and servers
advertise capabilities that they support. This is far more
robust than having each side consult a table of
known versions, and provides sufficient information for the
protocol interaction to complete.
However, it does not allow servers to keep statistics on
which client versions are being used. This information is
not necessary to complete the network request (the
capabilities provide enough information for that), but it
may be helpful to conduct a general survey of client
versions in use.
We already send the client version in the user-agent header

similar statistics for non-http requests.
