7f684a2aff Tolerate zlib deflation with window size < 32Kb
Git currently reports loose objects as 'corrupt' if they've been
deflated using a window size less than 32Kb, because the
experimental_loose_object() function doesn't recognise the header
byte as a zlib header. This patch makes the function tolerant of
all valid window sizes (15-bit to 8-bit) - but doesn't sacrifice
it's accuracy in distingushing the standard loose-object format
from the experimental (now abandoned) format.

On memory constrained systems zlib may use a much smaller window
size - working on Agit, I found that Android uses a 4KB window;
giving a header byte of 0x48, not 0x78. Consequently all loose
objects generated appear 'corrupt', which is why Agit is a read-only
Git client at this time - I don't want my client to generate Git
repos that other clients treat as broken :(

This patch makes Git tolerant of different deflate settings - it
might appear that it changes experimental_loose_object() to the point
where it could incorrectly identify the experimental format as the
standard one, but the two criteria (bitmask & checksum) can only
give a false result for an experimental object where both of the
following are true:

1) object size is exactly 8 bytes when uncompressed (bitmask)
2) [single-byte in-pack git type&size header] * 256
   + [1st byte of the following zlib header] % 31 = 0 (checksum)

As it happens, for all possible combinations of valid object type
(1-4) and window bits (0-7), the only time when the checksum will be
divisible by 31 is for 0x1838 - ie object type *1*, a Commit - which,
due the fields all Commit objects must contain, could never be as
small as 8 bytes in size.

Given this, the combination of the two criteria (bitmask & checksum)
always correctly determines the buffer format, and is more tolerant
than the previous version.

The alternative to this patch is simply removing support for the
experimental format, which I am also totally cool with.

0e8341f29d am: ignore leading whitespace before patch
Some web-based email clients prepend whitespace to raw message
transcripts to workaround content-sniffing in some browsers.  Adjust
the patch format detection logic to ignore leading whitespace.

So now you can apply patches from GMail with "git am" in three steps:

 1. choose "show original"
 2. tell the browser to "save as" (for example by pressing Ctrl+S)
 3. run "git am" on the saved file

This fixes a regression introduced by v1.6.4-rc0~15^2~2 (git-am
foreign patch support: autodetect some patch formats, 2009-05-27).
GMail support was first introduced to "git am" by v1.5.4-rc0~274^2
(Make mailsplit and mailinfo strip whitespace from the start of the
input, 2007-11-01).

This is useful to mark a submodule as unneeded by default. When this

53f53cff24 fsck: improve committer/author check
fsck allows a name with > character in it like "name> <email>". Also for
"name email>" fsck says "missing space before email".

More precisely, it seeks for a first '<', checks that ' ' preceeds it.
Then seeks to '<' or '>' and checks that it is the '>'. Missing space is
reported if either '<' is not found or it's not preceeded with ' '.

Change it to following. Seek to '<' or '>', check that it is '<' and is
preceeded with ' '. Seek to '<' or '>' and check that it is '>'. So now
"name> <email>" is rejected as "bad name". More strict name check is the
only change in what is accepted.

Report 'missing space' only if '<' is found and is not preceeded with a
space.

4b4963c0e1 fast-import: check committer name more strictly
The documentation declares following identity format:
(<name> SP)? LT <email> GT
where name is any string without LF and LT characters.
But fast-import just accepts any string up to first GT
instead of checking the whole format, and moreover just
writes it as is to the commit object.

git-fsck checks for [^<\n]* <[^<>\n]*> format. Note that the
space is mandatory. And the space quirk is already handled via
extending the string to the left when needed.

Modify fast-import input identity format to a slightly stricter
one - deny LF, LT and GT in both <name> and <email>. And check
for it.

This is stricter then git-fsck as fsck accepts "Name> <email>"
currently, but soon fsck check will be adjusted likewise.

17fb00721b fast-import: don't fail on omitted committer name
fast-import format declares 'committer_name SP' to be optional in
'committer_name SP LT email GT'. But for a (commit) object SP is
obligatory while zero length committer_name is ok. git-fsck checks
that SP is present, so fast-import must prepend it if the name SP
part is omitted. It doesn't do so and thus for "LT email GT" ident
it writes a bad object.

Name cannot contain LT or GT, ident always comes after SP in fast-import.
So if ident starts with LT reuse the SP as if a valid 'SP LT email GT'
ident was passed.

This fixes a ident parsing bug for a well-formed fast-import input.
Though the parsing is still loose and can accept a ill-formed input.

4cedb78cb5 fast-import: add input format tests
Documentation/git-fast-import.txt says that git-fast-import is strict
about it's input format. But committer/author field parsing is a bit
loose. Invalid values can be unnoticed and written out to the commit,
either with format-conforming input or with non-format-conforming one.

Add one passing and one failing test for empty/absent committer name
with well-formed input. And a failed test with unnoticed ill-formed
input.

0687628466 Reduce parse-options.o dependencies
Currently parse-options.o pulls quite a big bunch of dependencies.
his complicates it's usage in contrib/ because it pulls external
dependencies and it also increases executables size.

Split off less generic and more internal to git part of
parse-options.c to parse-options-cb.c.

Move prefix_filename function from setup.c to abspath.c. abspath.o
and wrapper.o pull each other, so it's unlikely to increase the
dependencies. It was a dependency of parse-options.o that pulled
many others.

Now parse-options.o pulls just abspath.o, ctype.o, strbuf.o, usage.o,
wrapper.o, libc directly and strlcpy.o indirectly.

23ce5c39dc t3900: do not reference numbered arguments from the test script
The call to test_expect_success is nested inside a function, whose
arguments the test code wants to access. But it is not specified that any
unexpanded $1, $2, $3, etc in the test code will access the surrounding
function's arguments. Rather, they will access the arguments of the
function that happens to eval the test code.

In this case, the reference is intended to supply '-m message' to a call of
'git commit --squash'. Remove it because -m is optional and the test case
does not check for it. There are tests in t7500 that check combinations of
--squash and -m.

051e4005a3 helping smart-http/stateless-rpc fetch race
A request to fetch from a client over smart HTTP protocol is served in
multiple steps. In the first round, the server side shows the set of refs
it has and their values, and the client picks from them and sends "I want
to fetch the history leading to these commits".

When the server tries to respond to this second request, its refs may have
progressed by a push from elsewhere. By design, we do not allow fetching
objects that are not at the tip of an advertised ref, and the server
rejects such a request. The client needs to try again, which is not ideal
especially for a busy server.

Teach upload-pack (which is the workhorse driven by git-daemon and smart
http server interface) that it is OK for a smart-http client to ask for
commits that are not at the tip of any advertised ref, as long as they are
reachable from advertised refs.

0906f6e14e filter-branch: Export variable `workdir' for --commit-filter
According to `git help filter-branch':

       --commit-filter <command>
           ...
           You can use the _map_ convenience function in this filter,
           and other convenience functions, too...
           ...

However, it turns out that `map' hasn't been usable because it depends
on the variable `workdir', which is not propogated to the environment
of the shell that runs the commit-filter <command> because the
shell is created via a simple-command rather than a compound-command
subshell:

 @SHELL_PATH@ -c "$filter_commit" "git commit-tree" \
                 $(git write-tree) $parentstr < ../message > ../map/$commit ||
                         die "could not write rewritten commit"

One solution is simply to export `workdir'. However, it seems rather
heavy-handed to export `workdir' to the environments of all commands,
so instead this commit exports `workdir' for only the duration of the
shell command in question:

 workdir=$workdir @SHELL_PATH@ -c "$filter_commit" "git commit-tree" \
                 $(git write-tree) $parentstr < ../message > ../map/$commit ||
                         die "could not write rewritten commit"

3da5c54340 gettext: add gettextln, eval_gettextln to encode common idiom
Currently, if you want to use gettext or eval_gettext to format a message
you may have to add a separate echo statement and a surrounding subshell
in order to interpolate the required trailing new line.

This patch introduces two new helper functions, gettextln and eval_gettextln
which append a trailing newline to the gettext output.

This allows constructions of the form:

	if test -s "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_START"
	then
		(
			gettext "You need to give me at least one good and one bad revisions.
(You can use \"git bisect bad\" and \"git bisect good\" for that.)" &&
			echo
		) >&2
	else
	...

to be expressed more concisely as:

	if test -s "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_START"
	then
		gettextln "You need to give me at least one good and one bad revisions.
(You can use \"git bisect bad\" and \"git bisect good\" for that.)" >&2
	else
	...

a7c58f280a test: cope better with use of return for errors
In olden times, tests would quietly exit the script when they failed
at an inconvenient moment, which was a little disconcerting.
Therefore v0.99.5~24^2~4 (Trapping exit in tests, using return for
errors, 2005-08-10) switched to an idiom of using "return" instead,
wrapping evaluation of test code in a function to make that safe:

	test_run_ () {
		eval >&3 2>&4 "$1"
		eval_ret="$?"
		return 0
	}

Years later, the implementation of test_when_finished (v1.7.1.1~95,
2010-05-02) and v1.7.2-rc2~1^2~13 (test-lib: output a newline before
"ok" under a TAP harness, 2010-06-24) took advantage of test_run_ as a
place to put code shared by all test assertion functions, without
paying attention to the function's former purpose:

	test_run_ () {
		...
		eval >&3 2>&4 "$1"
		eval_ret=$?

		if should run cleanup
		then
			eval >&3 2>&4 "$test_cleanup"
		fi
		if TAP format requires a newline here
		then
			echo
		fi
		return 0
	}

That means cleanup commands and the newline to put TAP output at
column 0 are skipped when tests use "return" to fail early.  Fix it by
introducing a test_eval_ function to catch the "return", with a
comment explaining the new function's purpose for the next person who
might touch this code.

aa0bcf962a test: simplify return value of test_run_
As v0.99.5~24^2~4 (Trapping exit in tests, using return for errors,
2005-08-10) explains, callers to test_run_ (such as test_expect_code)
used to check the result from eval and the return value separately so
tests that fail early could be distinguished from tests that completed
normally with successful (nonzero) status.  Eventually tests that
succeed with nonzero status were phased out (see v1.7.4-rc0~65^2~19,
2010-10-03 and especially v1.5.5-rc0~271, 2008-02-01) but the weird
two-return-value calling convention lives on.

Let's get rid of it.  The new rule: test_run_ succeeds (returns 0)
if and only if the test succeeded.

cf3e2486d6 revert: Propagate errors upwards from do_pick_commit
Currently, revert_or_cherry_pick can fail in two ways.  If it
encounters a conflict, it returns a positive number indicating the
intended exit status for the git wrapper to pass on; for all other
errors, it calls die().  The latter behavior is inconsiderate towards
callers, as it denies them the opportunity to recover from errors and
do other things.

After this patch, revert_or_cherry_pick will still return a positive
return value to indicate an exit status for conflicts as before, while
for some other errors, it will print an error message and return -1
instead of die()-ing.  The cmd_revert and cmd_cherry_pick are adjusted
to handle the fatal errors by die()-ing themselves.

While the full benefits of this patch will only be seen once all the
"die" calls are replaced with calls to "error", its immediate impact
is to change some "fatal:" messages to say "error:" and to add a new
"fatal: cherry-pick failed" message at the end when the operation
fails.

5a5d80f4ca revert: Introduce --continue to continue the operation
Introduce a new "git cherry-pick --continue" command which uses the
information in ".git/sequencer" to continue a cherry-pick that stopped
because of a conflict or other error.  It works by dropping the first
instruction from .git/sequencer/todo and performing the remaining
cherry-picks listed there, with options (think "-s" and "-X") from the
initial command listed in ".git/sequencer/opts".

So now you can do:

  $ git cherry-pick -Xpatience foo..bar
  ... description conflict in commit moo ...
  $ git cherry-pick --continue
  error: 'cherry-pick' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
  fatal: failed to resume cherry-pick
  $ echo resolved >conflictingfile
  $ git add conflictingfile && git commit
  $ git cherry-pick --continue; # resumes with the commit after "moo"

During the "git commit" stage, CHERRY_PICK_HEAD will aid by providing
the commit message from the conflicting "moo" commit.  Note that the
cherry-pick mechanism has no control at this stage, so the user is
free to violate anything that was specified during the first
cherry-pick invocation.  For example, if "-x" was specified during the
first cherry-pick invocation, the user is free to edit out the message
during commit time.  Note that the "--signoff" option specified at
cherry-pick invocation time is not reflected in the commit message
provided by CHERRY_PICK_HEAD; the user must take care to add
"--signoff" during the "git commit" invocation.

21afd08062 revert: Don't implicitly stomp pending sequencer operation
Protect the user from forgetting about a pending sequencer operation
by immediately erroring out when an existing cherry-pick or revert
operation is in progress like:

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git cherry-pick moo
  error: .git/sequencer already exists
  hint: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress
  hint: Use --reset to forget about it
  fatal: cherry-pick failed

A naive version of this would break the following established ways of
working:

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git reset --hard  # I actually meant "moo" when I said "foo"
  $ git cherry-pick moo

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git commit # commit the resolution
  $ git cherry-pick moo # New operation

However, the previous patches "reset: Make reset remove the sequencer
state" and "revert: Remove sequencer state when no commits are
pending" make sure that this does not happen.

2d27daa91d revert: Remove sequencer state when no commits are pending
When cherry-pick or revert is called on a list of commits, and a
conflict encountered somewhere in the middle, the data in
".git/sequencer" is required to continue the operation.  However, when
a conflict is encountered in the very last commit, the user will have
to "continue" after resolving the conflict and committing just so that
the sequencer state is removed.  This is how the current "rebase -i"
script works as well.

  $ git cherry-pick foo..bar
  ... conflict encountered while picking "bar" ...
  $ echo "resolved" >problematicfile
  $ git add problematicfile
  $ git commit
  $ git cherry-pick --continue # This would be a no-op

Change this so that the sequencer state is cleared when a conflict is
encountered in the last commit.  Incidentally, this patch makes sure
that some existing tests don't break when features like "--reset" and
"--continue" are implemented later in the series.

A better way to implement this feature is to get the last "git commit"
to remove the sequencer state.  However, that requires tighter
coupling between "git commit" and the sequencer, a goal that can be
pursued once the sequencer is made more general.

95eb88d8ee reset: Make reset remove the sequencer state
Years of muscle memory have trained users to use "git reset --hard" to
remove the branch state after any sort operation.  Make it also remove
the sequencer state to facilitate this established workflow:

  $ git cherry-pick foo..bar
  ... conflict encountered ...
  $ git reset --hard # Oops, I didn't mean that
  $ git cherry-pick quux..bar
  ... cherry-pick succeeded ...

Guard against accidental removal of the sequencer state by providing
one level of "undo".  In the first "reset" invocation,
".git/sequencer" is moved to ".git/sequencer-old"; it is completely
removed only in the second invocation.
