860f70f9f4 CodingGuidelines: do not use 'which' in shell scripts
During the code review of a recent patch, it was noted that shell scripts
must not use 'which $cmd' to check the availability of the command $cmd.
The output of the command is not machine parseable and its exit code is
not reliable across platforms.

It is better to use 'type' to accomplish this task.

1252bbe1c6 contrib: add git-diffall script
The 'git difftool' allows the user to view diffs using an external tool.
It runs a separate instance of the tool for each file in the diff. This
makes it tedious to review changes spanning multiple files.

The 'git-diffall' script instead prepares temporary directories with the
files to be compared and launches a single instance of the external diff
tool to view them (i.e. a directory diff).

The 'diff.tool' or 'merge.tool' configuration variable is used to specify
which external tool is used.

6c41e97557 branch: don't assume the merge filter ref exists
print_ref_list looks up the merge_filter_ref and assumes that a valid
pointer is returned. When the object doesn't exist, it tries to
dereference a NULL pointer. This can be the case when git branch
--merged is given an argument that isn't a valid commit name.

Check whether the lookup returns a NULL pointer and die with an error
if it does. Add a test, while we're at it.

e607b79fb1 gitweb: Highlight matched part of shortened project description
Previous commit make gitweb use esc_html_match_hl() to mark match in
the _whole_ description of a project when searching projects.

This commit makes gitweb highlight match in _shortened_ description,
based on match in whole description, using esc_html_match_hl_chopped()
subroutine.

If match is in removed (chopped) part, even partially, then trailing
"... " is highlighted.

5fb3cf2317 gitweb: Highlight matched part of project description when searching projects
Use esc_html_match_hl() from earlier commit to mark match in the
_whole_ description when searching projects.

Currently, with this commit, when searching projects there is always
shown full description of a project, and not a shortened one (like for
ordinary projects list view), even if the match is on project name and
not project description.  Because we always show full description of a
project, and not possibly shortened name, there is no need for having
full description on mouseover via title attribute.

Showing full description when there is match on it is useful to avoid
situation where match is in shortened, invisible part.  On the other
hand that makes project search different than projects list view; also
there can be problems with overly-long project descriptions.

07a40062ae gitweb: Highlight matched part of project name when searching projects
Use esc_html_match_hl() introduced in previous commit to escape HTML
and mark match, using span element with 'match' class.  Currently only
the 'path' part (i.e. the project name) is highlighted; match might be
on the project description.  Highlighting match in description is left
for next commit.

The code makes use of the fact that defined $search_regexp means that
there was search going on.

337da8d2b0 gitweb: Introduce esc_html_match_hl and esc_html_hl_regions
The esc_html_match_hl() subroutine added in this commit will be used
to highlight *all* matches of given regexp, using 'match' class.
Ultimately it is to be used in all match highlighting, starting
with project search, which does not have it yet.

It uses the esc_html_hl_regions() subroutine, which is meant to
highlight in a given string a list of regions (given as a list of
[ beg, end ] pairs of positions in string), using HTML <span> element
with given class.  It could probably be used in other places that
do highlighting of part of ready line, like highlighting of changes
in a diff (diff refinement highlighting).

Implementation and enhancement notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Currently esc_html_hl_regions() subroutine doesn't accept any
  parameters, like esc_html() does.  We might want for example to
  pass  nbsp=>1  to it.

  It can easily be done with the following code:

    my %opts = grep { ref($_) ne "ARRAY" } @sel;
    @sel     = grep { ref($_) eq "ARRAY" } @sel;

  This allow adding parameters after or before regions, e.g.:

    esc_html_hl_regions("foo bar", "mark", [ 0, 3 ], -nbsp => 1);

* esc_html_hl_regions() escapes like esc_html(); if we wanted to
  highlight with esc_path(), we could pass subroutine reference
  to now named esc_gen_hl_regions().

    esc_html_hl_regions("foo bar", "mark", \&esc_path, [ 0, 3 ]);

  Note that this way we can handle -nbsp=>1 case automatically,
  e.g.

    esc_html_hl_regions("foo bar", "mark",
                        sub { esc_html(@_, -nbsp=>1) },
                        [ 0, 3 ]);

* Alternate solution for highlighting region of a string would be to
  use the idea that strings are to be HTML-escaped, and references to
  scalars are HTML (like in the idea for generic committags).

  This would require modifying gitweb code or esc_html to get list of
  fragments, e.g.:

    esc_html(\'<span class="mark">', 'foo', \'</span>', ' bar',
             { -nbsp => 1 });

  or

    esc_html([\'<span class="mark">', 'foo', \'</span>', ' bar'],
             -nbsp=>1);

  esc_html_match_hl() could be then simple wrapper around "match
  formatter", e.g.

    esc_html([ render_match_hl($str, $regexp) ], -nbsp=>1);

fba4f1259d grep -P: Fix matching ^ and $
When "git grep" is run with -P/--perl-regexp, it doesn't match ^ and $ at
the beginning/end of the line.  This is because PCRE normally matches ^
and $ at the beginning/end of the whole text, not for each line, and "git
grep" passes a large chunk of text (possibly containing many lines) to
pcre_exec() and then splits the text into lines.

This makes "git grep -P" behave differently from "git grep -E" and also
from "grep -P" and "pcregrep":

	$ cat file
	a
	 b
	$ git grep --no-index -P '^ ' file
	$ git grep --no-index -E '^ ' file
	file: b
	$ grep -c -P '^ ' file
	 b
	$ pcregrep -c '^ ' file
	 b

spec case, and use it instead of p4Where().

0f1930c587 parse-options: allow positivation of options starting, with no-
Long options can be negated by adding no- right after the leading
two dashes. This is useful e.g. to override options set by aliases.

For options that are defined to start with no- already, this looks
a bit funny. Allow such options to also be negated by removing the
prefix.

The following thirteen options are affected:

	apply          --no-add
	bisect--helper --no-checkout
	checkout-index --no-create
	clone          --no-checkout --no-hardlinks
	commit         --no-verify   --no-post-rewrite
	format-patch   --no-binary
	hash-object    --no-filters
	read-tree      --no-sparse-checkout
	revert         --no-commit
	show-branch    --no-name
	update-ref     --no-deref

The following five are NOT affected because they are defined with
PARSE_OPT_NONEG or the non-negated version is defined as well:

	branch       --no-merged
	format-patch --no-stat             --no-numbered
	update-index --no-assume-unchanged --no-skip-worktree

4f22b1015d do not stream large files to pack when filters are in use
Because git's object format requires us to specify the
number of bytes in the object in its header, we must know
the size before streaming a blob into the object database.
This is not a problem when adding a regular file, as we can
get the size from stat(). However, when filters are in use
(such as autocrlf, or the ident, filter, or eol
gitattributes), we have no idea what the ultimate size will
be.

The current code just punts on the whole issue and ignores
filter configuration entirely for files larger than
core.bigfilethreshold. This can generate confusing results
if you use filters for large binary files, as the filter
will suddenly stop working as the file goes over a certain
size.  Rather than try to handle unknown input sizes with
streaming, this patch just turns off the streaming
optimization when filters are in use.

This has a slight performance regression in a very specific
case: if you have autocrlf on, but no gitattributes, a large
binary file will avoid the streaming code path because we
don't know beforehand whether it will need conversion or
not. But if you are handling large binary files, you should
be marking them as such via attributes (or at least not
using autocrlf, and instead marking your text files as
such). And the flip side is that if you have a large
_non_-binary file, there is a correctness improvement;
before we did not apply the conversion at all.

The first half of the new t1051 script covers these failures
on input. The second half tests the matching output code
paths. These already work correctly, and do not need any
adjustment.

4c3b57b98b teach dry-run convert_to_git not to require a src buffer
When we call convert_to_git in dry-run mode, it may still
want to look at the source buffer, because some CRLF
conversion modes depend on analyzing the source to determine
whether it is in fact convertible CRLF text.

However, the main motivation for convert_to_git's dry-run
mode is that we would decide which method to use to acquire
the blob's data (streaming versus in-core). Requiring this
source analysis creates a chicken-and-egg problem. We are
better off simply guessing that anything we can't analyze
will end up needing conversion.

This patch lets a caller specify a NULL src buffer when
using dry-run mode (and only dry-run mode). A non-zero
return value goes from "we would convert" to "we might
convert"; a zero return value remains "we would definitely
not convert".

92ac3197e4 teach convert_to_git a "dry run" mode
Some callers may want to know whether convert_to_git will
actually do anything before performing the conversion
itself (e.g., to decide whether to stream or handle blobs
in-core). This patch lets callers specify the dry run mode
by passing a NULL destination buffer. The return value,
instead of indicating whether conversion happened, will
indicate whether conversion would occur.

For readability, we also include a wrapper function which
makes it more obvious we are not actually performing the
conversion.
