Since bc7a96a (mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate files,
2011-08-18), it is possible to add a new diff tool by creating a simple
script in the '$(git --exec-path)/mergetools' directory. Updating the
difftool help text is still a manual process, and the documentation can
easily go out of sync.
This commit teaches difftool the '--tool-help' option, which:
- Reads the list of valid tools from 'mergetools/*'
- Determines which of them are actually installed
- Determines which are capable of diffing (i.e. not just a merge tool)
- Prints the resulting list for the user

When 'difftool' is called to compare a range of commits that modify
more than one file, it opens a separate instance of the diff tool for
each file that changed.
The new '--dir-diff' option copies all the modified files to a temporary
location and runs a directory diff on them in a single instance of the
diff tool.

Prior to this commit, the script exited with an error whenever the
usage string was printed, regardless of the reason it was done. In
cases where usage was printed due to a user request (e.g. '-h'

This commit adds an argument to the usage function that allows the
exit code to be specified when the function is called.

The code to validate the history connectivity between old refs and new
refs used by fetch and receive-pack, introduced in 1.7.8, was grossly
inefficient and unnecessarily tried to re-validate integrity of individual
objects. This essentially reverts that performance regression.
* jc/maint-verify-objects-remove-pessimism:
fetch/receive: remove over-pessimistic connectivity check
Andrew Sayers noticed that the svn-fe | git fast-import pipeline
mishandles a subversion history that copies the root directory to a
sub-directory (e.g. doing `svn cp . trunk` to standardise your
layout). As David Barr explained, the bug arises when the following
command is sent to git fast-import:
'ls' SP ':1' SP LF
Instead of reading back what is at the root of r1, it unconditionally
reports the path as missing.
After sleeping on it, here are two patches for 'maint'. One plugs a
memory leak. The other ensures that trying to pass an empty path to
the 'ls' command results in an error message that can help the
frontend author instead of the silently broken conversion Andrew
found.
Then we can carefully add 'ls ""' support in 1.7.11.

Git 1.7.8 introduced an object and history re-validation step after
"fetch" or "push" causes new history to be added to a receiving
repository. This is to protect a malicious server or pushing client from
corrupting the repository by taking advantage of an existing corrupt
object that is unconnected to existing history.
But this check is way over-pessimistic. During "fetch" or "receive-pack"
(the server side of "push"), unpack-objects and index-pack already
validate individual objects that are received, and the only thing we would
want to catch are corrupted objects that already happen to exist in our
repository but are not referenced from our refs. Such objects must have
been written by an earlier run of our codepaths that write out loose
objects or packfiles, and they must have done the validation of individual
objects when they did so. The only thing left to worry about is the
connectivity integrity, which can be checked with "rev-list --objects",
which is much cheaper. We have been paying the 5x to 8x runtime overhead
the --verify-objects often adds for no real gain.
Revert check_everything_connected() not to use this over-pessimistic
check.
Credit goes to Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy, who originally identified the
performance regression and endured multiple rounds of reviews to fix it.

On Windows, a directory cannot be removed while it is the working

As the fast-import manual explains:
The value of <path> must be in canonical form. That is it must
not:
. contain an empty directory component (e.g. foo//bar is invalid),
. end with a directory separator (e.g. foo/ is invalid),
. start with a directory separator (e.g. /foo is invalid),
Unfortunately the "ls" command accepts these invalid syntaxes and
responds by declaring that the indicated path is missing. This is too
subtle and causes importers to silently misbehave; better to error out
so the operator knows what's happening.
The C, R, and M commands already error out for such paths.

When the chosen directory has changed since it was last written to
pack, "tree_content_get" makes a deep copy of its content to scribble
on while computing the tree name, which we forgot to free.

v1.7.5-rc0~3^2~33 (fast-import: add 'ls' command, 2010-12-02).

This test asks for an impossible conversion to the system by
preparing an UTF-8 translation with characters that cannot be
expressed in ISO-8859-1, and then asking the message shown in
ISO-8859-1. Even though the behaviour against such a request is
undefined, it may be interesting to see what the system does, and
the purpose of this test is to see if there are platforms that
exhibit behaviour that we haven't seen.
The original recognized two known modes of behaviour:
- the key used to query the message catalog ("TEST: Old English
Runes"), saying "I cannot do that i18n".
- impossible characters replaced with ASCII "?", saying "I punt".
but they were treated totally differently. The test simply issued
an informational message "Your system punts on this one" for the
first error mode, while it diagnosed the latter as "Your system is
good; you pass!".
It turns out that Mac OS X exhibits a third mode of error behaviour,
to spew out the raw value stored in the message catalog. The test
diagnosed this behaviour as "broken", but it is merely trying to do
its best to respond to an impossible request by saying "I punt" in a
way that is slightly different from the second one.
Update the offending test to make it clear what is (and is not)
being tested, update the code structure so that newly discovered
error mode can easily be added to it later, and reword the message
that comes from a failing case to clarify that it is not the system
that is broken when it fails, but merely that the behaviour is not
something we have seen.

On a Solaris 10 system with Solaris make installed as '/usr/xpg4/bin/make',
GNU make installed as '/usr/local/bin/make', and with '/usr/local/bin'
appearing in $PATH *before* '/usr/xpg4/bin', I was seeing errors like this
upon invoking "make all":
Usage : make [ -f makefile ][ -K statefile ]...
make: Fatal error: Unknown option `-C'
This happenes because the Git's Makefile, when running on Solaris,
automatically "sanitizes" $PATH by prepending '/usr/xpg6/bin' and
'/usr/xpg4/bin' to it in order to avoid using non-POSIX /bin/sh from
being used. In the setup described above, however, this has an
unintended consequence of forcing the use of Solaris make in recursive
make invocations -- even if the $(MAKE) macro is being correctly used in
them!
When building without using the autoconf machinery, this can be solved
by overriding $(SANE_TOOL_PATH). Teach the autoconf machinery to also
allow users of ./configure to override it from the command line with a
new --with-sane-tool-path option.
