The original "rewrite in C" did somewhat a sloppy job while
stealing code from git-write-tree.
The caller pretends as if the write_tree() function would return
an error code and being able to issue a sensible error message
itself, but write_tree() function just calls die() and never
returns an error. Worse yet, the function claims that it was
running git-write-tree (which is no longer true after
cherry-pick stole it).

This new error mode allows a line to have a carriage return at the
end of the line when checking and fixing trailing whitespace errors.
Some people like to keep CRLF line ending recorded in the repository,
and still want to take advantage of the automated trailing whitespace
stripping. We still show ^M in the diff output piped to "less" to
remind them that they do have the CR at the end, but these carriage
return characters at the end are no longer flagged as errors.

When you have more than one patch series, an earlier one of which
tries to introduce whitespace breakages and a later one of which
has such a new line in its context, "git-apply --whitespace=fix"
will apply and fix the whitespace breakages in the earlier one,
making the resulting file not to match the context of the later
patch.
A short demonstration is in the new test, t4125.
For example, suppose the first patch is:
diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt
--- a/hello.txt
+++ b/hello.txt
@@ -20,3 +20,3 @@
Hello world.$
-How Are you$
-Today?$
+How are you $
+today? $
to fix broken case in the string, but it introduces unwanted
trailing whitespaces to the result (pretend you are looking at
"cat -e" output of the patch --- '$' signs are not in the patch
but are shown to make the EOL stand out). And the second patch
is to change the wording of the greeting further:
diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt
--- a/hello.txt
+++ b/hello.txt
@@ -18,5 +18,5 @@
Greetings $
-Hello world.$
+Hello, everybody. $
How are you $
-today? $
+these days? $
If you apply the first one with --whitespace=fix, you will get
this as the result:
Hello world.$
How are you$
today?$
and this does not match the preimage of the second patch, which
demands extra whitespace after "How are you" and "today?".
This series is about teaching "git apply --whitespace=fix" to
cope with this situation better. If the patch does not apply,
it rewrites the second patch like this and retries:
diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt
--- a/hello.txt
+++ b/hello.txt
@@ -18,5 +18,5 @@
Greetings$
-Hello world.$
+Hello, everybody.$

This is done by rewriting the preimage lines in the hunk
(i.e. the lines that begin with ' ' or '-'), using the same
whitespace fixing rules as it is using to apply the patches, so
that it can notice what it did to the previous ones in the
series.
A careful reader may notice that the first patch in the example
did not touch the "Greetings" line, so the trailing whitespace
that is in the original preimage of the second patch is not from
the series. Is rewriting this context line a problem?
If you think about it, you will realize that the reason for the
difference is because the submitter's tree was based on an
earlier version of the file that had whitespaces wrong on that
"Greetings" line, and the change that introduced the "Greetings"
line was added independently of this two-patch series to our
tree already with an earlier "git apply --whitespace=fix".
So it may appear this logic is rewriting too much, it is not
so. It is just rewriting what we would have rewritten in the
past.

The function apply_line() changed its behaviour depending on the

Make its caller responsible for such checking so that we can convert

We had two pointer variables pointing to the same buffer and an
integer variable used to index into its tail part that was
active (old, oldlines and oldsize for the preimage, and their
'new' counterparts for the postimage).
To help readability, use 'oldlines' as the allocated pointer,
and use 'old' as the pointer to the tail that advances while the
code builds up the contents in the buffer. The size 'oldsize'
can be computed as (old-oldines).

This updates the way preimage and postimage in a patch hunk is
parsed and prepared for applying. By looking at image->line[n].flag,
the code can tell if it is a common context line that is the
same between the preimage and the postimage.
This matters when we actually start applying a patch with
contexts that have whitespace breakages that have already been
fixed in the target file.
Wnen the caller knows the hunk needs to match at the beginning
or at the end, there is no point starting from the line number
that is found in the patch and trying match with increasing
offset. The logic to find matching lines was made more line
oriented with the previous patch and this optimization is now
trivial.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
This changes the way git-apply internally works to be more line
oriented. The logic to find where the patch applies with offset
used to count line numbers by always counting LF from the
beginning of the buffer, but it is simplified because we count
the line length of the target file and the preimage snippet
upfront now.
The ultimate motivation is to allow applying patches
whose preimage context has whitespace corruption that has
already been corrected in the local copy. For that purpose, we
introduce a table of line-hash that allows us to match lines
that differ only in whitespaces.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
This moves the logic to force match at the beginning and/or at
the end of the buffer to the actual function that finds the
match from its caller. This is a necessary preparation for the
next step to allow matching disregarding certain differences,
such as whitespace changes.
We probably could optimize this even more by taking advantage of
the fact that match_beginning and match_end forces the match to
be at an exact location (anchored at the beginning and/or the
end), but that's for another commit.

Whilst convenient, it is most unwise to record passwords
in any place but one's brain. Moreover, it is especially
foolish to store them in configuration files, even with
access permissions set accordingly.
git-send-email has been amended, so that if it detects
an smtp username without a password, it promptly prompts
for the password and masks the input for privacy.
Furthermore, the argument to --smtp-pass has been rendered
optional.
The documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.

I was able to solve this problem with this patch, which adds a XSL file
used specifically for DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease and where dots and
backslashes are escaped properly so they won't be substituted to the
wrong thing further down the "DocBook XSL pipeline". Doing the escaping
in the existing callout.xsl breaks v1.70.1. Hopefully v1.73 will end
this part of the manpage nightmare.

When DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR is specified as a relative path,
init-db made it relative to exec_path using prefix_path(), which
is wrong. prefix_path() is about a file inside the work tree.
There was a similar misuse in config.c that takes relative
ETC_GITCONFIG path.
A convenience function prefix_filename() can concatenate two paths
to form a path that points at somewhere outside the work tree.
Use it in these codepaths instead.

Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:
test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'
And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.
This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:
test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'
test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:
test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
rm -f bar &&
git foo &&
test -f bar
'
This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".
