The shell version used to use "mkdir -p" to create the repo

the old behavior. We have to create the git and worktree
leading dirs separately; while most of the time, the
worktree dir contains the git dir (as .git), the user can
override this using GIT_WORK_TREE.
We can reuse safe_create_leading_directories, but we need to
make a copy of our const buffer to do so. Since
merge-recursive uses the same pattern, we can factor this
out into a global function. This has two other cleanup
advantages for merge-recursive:
1. mkdir_p wasn't a very good name. "mkdir -p foo/bar" actually
creates bar, but this function just creates the leading
directories.
2. mkdir_p took a mode argument, but it was completely

We should be able to fall back to loose objects or alternative packs when
a pack becomes corrupted. This is especially true when an object exists
in one pack only as a delta but its base object is corrupted. Currently
there is no way to retrieve the former object even if the later is
available in another pack or loose.
This patch allows for a delta to be resolved (with a performance cost)
using a base object from a source other than the pack where that delta
is located. Same thing for non-delta objects: rather than failing
outright, a search is made in other packs or used loose when the
currently active pack has it but corrupted.
Of course git will become extremely noisy with error messages when that
happens. However, if the operation succeeds nevertheless, a simple
'git repack -a -f -d' will "fix" the corrupted repository given that all
corrupted objects have a good duplicate somewhere in the object store,
possibly manually copied from another source.

GIT's guts work with a forward slash as a path separators. We do not change
that. Rather we make sure that only "normalized" paths enter the depths
of the machinery.
We have to translate backslashes to forward slashes in the prefix and in
command line arguments. Fortunately, all of them are passed through
functions in setup.c.
A macro has_dos_drive_path() is defined that checks whether a path begins
with a drive letter+colon combination. This predicate is always false on
Unix. Another macro is_dir_sep() abstracts that a backslash is also a
directory separator on Windows.

Once we find the absolute paths for git_dir and work_tree, we can make
git_dir a relative path since we know pwd will be work_tree. This should
save the kernel some time traversing the path to work_tree all the time
if git_dir is inside work_tree.
Daniel's patch didn't apply for me as-is, so I recreated it with some
differences, and here are the numbers from ten runs each.
There is some IO for me - probably due to more-or-less random flushing of
the journal - so the variation is bigger than I'd like, but whatever:
Before:
real 0m8.135s
real 0m7.933s
real 0m8.080s
real 0m7.954s
real 0m7.949s
real 0m8.112s
real 0m7.934s
real 0m8.059s
real 0m7.979s
real 0m8.038s
After:
real 0m7.685s
real 0m7.968s
real 0m7.703s
real 0m7.850s
real 0m7.995s
real 0m7.817s
real 0m7.963s
real 0m7.955s
real 0m7.848s
real 0m7.969s
Now, going by "best of ten" (on the assumption that the longer numbers
are all due to IO), I'm saying a 7.933s -> 7.685s reduction, and it does
seem to be outside of the noise (ie the "after" case never broke 8s, while
the "before" case did so half the time).
So looks like about 3% to me.
Doing it for a slightly smaller test-case (just the "arch" subdirectory)
gets more stable numbers probably due to not filling the journal with
metadata updates, so we have:
Before:
real 0m1.633s
real 0m1.633s
real 0m1.633s
real 0m1.632s
real 0m1.632s
real 0m1.630s
real 0m1.634s
real 0m1.631s
real 0m1.632s
real 0m1.632s
After:
real 0m1.610s
real 0m1.609s
real 0m1.610s
real 0m1.608s
real 0m1.607s
real 0m1.610s
real 0m1.609s
real 0m1.611s
real 0m1.608s
real 0m1.611s
where I'ld just take the averages and say 1.632 vs 1.610, which is just
over 1% peformance improvement.
So it's not in the noise, but it's not as big as I initially thought and
measured.
(That said, it obviously depends on how deep the working directory path is
too, and whether it is behind NFS or something else that might need to
cause more work to look up).

This is the base for making symlink detection in the middle fo a pathname
saner and (much) more efficient.
Under various loads, we want to verify that the full path leading up to a
filename is a real directory tree, and that when we successfully do an
'lstat()' on a filename, we don't get a false positive due to a symlink in
the middle of the path that git should have seen as a symlink, not as a
normal path component.
The 'has_symlink_leading_path()' function already did this, and cached
a single level of symlink information, but didn't cache the _lack_ of a
symlink, so the normal behaviour was actually the wrong way around, and we
ended up doing an 'lstat()' on each path component to check that it was a
real directory.
This caches the last detected full directory and symlink entries, and
speeds up especially deep directory structures a lot by avoiding to
lstat() all the directories leading up to each entry in the index.
[ This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we eventually
never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all* when checking the
index, but always check the full path carefully. Right now we do not
generally check the whole path for all our normal quick index
revalidation.
We should also make sure that we're careful about all the invalidation,
ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory we should
invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa for the
directory cache).
But regardless, the basic function needs to be sane to do that. The old
'has_symlink_leading_path()' was not capable enough - or indeed the code
readable enough - to really do that sanely. So I'm pushing this as not
just an optimization, but as a base for further work. ]

The commit sequence used to do
if (file_exists(p->path))
add_file_to_cache(p->path, 0);
where both "file_exists()" and "add_file_to_cache()" needed to do a
lstat() on the path to do their work.
This cuts down 'lstat()' calls for the partial commit case by two
for each path we know about (because we do this twice per path).
Just move the lstat() to the caller instead (that's all that
"file_exists()" really does), and pass the stat information down to the
add_to_cache() function.
This essentially makes 'add_to_index()' the core function that adds a path
to the index, getting the index pointer, the pathname and the stat
information as arguments. There are then shorthand helper functions that
use this core function:
- 'add_to_cache()' is just 'add_to_index()' with the default index
- 'add_file_to_cache/index()' is the same, but does the lstat() call
itself, so you can pass just the pathname if you don't already have the
stat information available.
So old users of the 'add_file_to_xyzzy()' are essentially left unchanged,
and this just exposes the more generic helper function that can take
existing stat information into account.

instead, doing a

(or naming "file" explicitly) will automatically notice that we have an
alias, and will replace the name "file" with the existing index
capitalization (ie "File").
However, if we actually have *both* a file called "File" and one called
"file", and they don't have the same lstat() information (ie we're on a
case-sensitive filesystem but have the "core.ignorecase" flag set), we
will error out if we try to add them both.

This new helper is identical to base_name_compare(), except it compares
conflicting directory/file entries as equal in order to help handling DF
conflicts (thus the name).
Note that while a directory name compares as equal to a regular file
with the new helper, they then individually compare _differently_ to a
filename that has a dot after the basename (because '\0' < '.' < '/').
So a directory called "foo/" will compare equal to a file "foo", even
though "foo.c" will compare after "foo" and before "foo/"
This will be used by routines that want to traverse the git namespace
but then handle conflicting entries together when possible.

We used to just memcpy() the index entry when we copied the stat() and
SHA1 hash information, which worked well enough back when the index
entry was just an exact bit-for-bit representation of the information on
disk.
However, these days we actually have various management information in
the cache entry too, and we should be careful to not overwrite it when
we copy the stat information from another index entry.

This makes the name hash removal function (which really just sets the
bit that disables lookups of it) available to external routines, and
makes read_cache_unmerged() use it when it drops an unmerged entry from
the index.
It's renamed to remove_index_entry(), and we drop the (unused) 'istate'
argument.

We handled the case of removing and re-inserting cache entries badly,
which is something that merging commonly needs to do (removing the
different stages, and then re-inserting one of them as the merged
state).
We even had a rather ugly special case for this failure case, where
replace_index_entry() basically turned itself into a no-op if the new
and the old entries were the same, exactly because the hash routines
didn't handle it on their own.
So what this patch does is to not just have the UNHASHED bit, but a
HASHED bit too, and when you insert an entry into the name hash, that
involves:
- clear the UNHASHED bit, because now it's valid again for lookup
(which is really all that UNHASHED meant)
- if we're being lazy, we're done here (but we still want to clear the
UNHASHED bit regardless of lazy mode, since we can become unlazy
later, and so we need the UNHASHED bit to always be set correctly,
even if we never actually insert the entry into the hash list)
- if it was already hashed, we just leave it on the list
- otherwise mark it HASHED and insert it into the list
this all means that unhashing and rehashing a name all just works
automatically. Obviously, you cannot change the name of an entry (that
would be a serious bug), but nothing can validly do that anyway (you'd
have to allocate a new struct cache_entry anyway since the name length
could change), so that's not a new limitation.
The code actually gets simpler in many ways, although the lazy hashing
does mean that there are a few odd cases (ie something can be marked
unhashed even though it was never on the hash in the first place, and
isn't actually marked hashed!).

"git branch" and "git checkout -b" now honor --track option even when
the upstream branch is local. Previously --track was silently ignored
when forking from a local branch. Also the command did not error out
when --track was explicitly asked for but the forked point specified
was not an existing branch (i.e. when there is no way to set up the
tracking configuration), but now it correctly does.
The configuration setting branch.autosetupmerge can now be set to
"always", which is equivalent to using --track from the command line.
Setting branch.autosetupmerge to "true" will retain the former behavior
of only setting up branch.*.merge for remote upstream branches.

CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.
If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
git that this file is binary and git will handle the file
appropriately.
Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.
This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about
an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The
mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the
following values:
- false: disable safecrlf mechanism
- warn: warn about irreversible conversions
- true: refuse irreversible conversions
The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default
if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to
leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless
they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism.
The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The
general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are:
- we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an
irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the
original file.
- for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree
we do not not print annoying warnings.
There are exceptions. Even though...
- "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the
next checkout would, so the safety triggers;
- "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files
in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF
conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the
safety does not trigger;
- "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is
often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To
catch potential problems early, safety triggers.
The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar
way by Linus Torvalds. Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting
on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right.

A pattern "foo/" in the exclude list did not match directory
"foo", but a pattern "foo" did. This attempts to extend the
exclude mechanism so that it would while not matching a regular
file or a symbolic link "foo". In order to differentiate a
directory and non directory, this passes down the type of path
being checked to excluded() function.
A downside is that the recursive directory walk may need to run
lstat(2) more often on systems whose "struct dirent" do not give
the type of the entry; earlier it did not have to do so for an
excluded path, but we now need to figure out if a path is a
directory before deciding to exclude it. This is especially bad
because an idea similar to the earlier CE_UPTODATE optimization
to reduce number of lstat(2) calls would by definition not apply
to the codepaths involved, as (1) directories will not be
registered in the index, and (2) excluded paths will not be in
the index anyway.

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.

This creates a hash index of every single file added to the index.
Right now that hash index isn't actually used for much: I implemented a
"cache_name_exists()" function that uses it to efficiently look up a
filename in the index without having to do the O(logn) binary search,
but quite frankly, that's not why this patch is interesting.
No, the whole and only reason to create the hash of the filenames in the
index is that by modifying the hash function, you can fairly easily do
things like making it always hash equivalent names into the same bucket.
That, in turn, means that suddenly questions like "does this name exist
in the index under an _equivalent_ name?" becomes much much cheaper.
Guiding principles behind this patch:
- it shouldn't be too costly. In fact, my primary goal here was to
actually speed up "git commit" with a fully populated kernel tree, by
being faster at checking whether a file already existed in the index. I
did succeed, but only barely:
Best before:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
real 0m0.255s
user 0m0.168s
sys 0m0.088s
Best after:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git commit > /dev/null
real 0m0.233s
user 0m0.144s
sys 0m0.088s
so some things are actually faster (~8%).
Caveat: that's really the best case. Other things are invariably going
to be slightly slower, since we populate that index cache, and quite
frankly, few things really use it to look things up.
That said, the cost is really quite small. The worst case is probably
doing a "git ls-files", which will do very little except puopulate the
index, and never actually looks anything up in it, just lists it.
Before:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git ls-files > /dev/null
real 0m0.016s
user 0m0.016s
sys 0m0.000s
After:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git ls-files > /dev/null
real 0m0.021s
user 0m0.012s
sys 0m0.008s
and while the thing has really gotten relatively much slower, we're
still talking about something almost unmeasurable (eg 5ms). And that
really should be pretty much the worst case.
So we lose 5ms on one "benchmark", but win 22ms on another. Pick your
poison - this patch has the advantage that it will _likely_ speed up
the cases that are complex and expensive more than it slows down the
cases that are already so fast that nobody cares. But if you look at
relative speedups/slowdowns, it doesn't look so good.
- It should be simple and clean
The code may be a bit subtle (the reasons I do hash removal the way I
do etc), but it re-uses the existing hash.c files, so it really is
fairly small and straightforward apart from a few odd details.
Now, this patch on its own doesn't really do much, but I think it's worth
looking at, if only because if done correctly, the name hashing really can
make an improvement to the whole issue of "do we have a filename that
looks like this in the index already". And at least it gets real testing
by being used even by default (ie there is a real use-case for it even
without any insane filesystems).
NOTE NOTE NOTE! The current hash is a joke. I'm ashamed of it, I'm just
not ashamed of it enough to really care. I took all the numbers out of my
nether regions - I'm sure it's good enough that it works in practice, but
the whole point was that you can make a really much fancier hash that
hashes characters not directly, but by their upper-case value or something
like that, and thus you get a case-insensitive hash, while still keeping
the name and the index itself totally case sensitive.

Aside from the lstat(2) done for work tree files, there are
quite many lstat(2) calls in refname dwimming codepath. This
patch is not about reducing them.
* It adds a new ce_flag, CE_UPTODATE, that is meant to mark the
cache entries that record a regular file blob that is up to
date in the work tree. If somebody later walks the index and
wants to see if the work tree has changes, they do not have
to be checked with lstat(2) again.
* fill_stat_cache_info() marks the cache entry it just added
with CE_UPTODATE. This has the effect of marking the paths
we write out of the index and lstat(2) immediately as "no
need to lstat -- we know it is up-to-date", from quite a lot
fo callers:
- git-apply --index
- git-update-index
- git-checkout-index
- git-add (uses add_file_to_index())
- git-commit (ditto)
- git-mv (ditto)
* refresh_cache_ent() also marks the cache entry that are clean
with CE_UPTODATE.
* write_index is changed not to write CE_UPTODATE out to the
index file, because CE_UPTODATE is meant to be transient only
in core. For the same reason, CE_UPDATE is not written to
prevent an accident from happening.

We currently use lower 12-bit (masked with CE_NAMEMASK) in the
ce_flags field to store the length of the name in cache_entry,
without checking the length parameter given to
create_ce_flags(). This can make us store incorrect length.
Currently we are mostly protected by the fact that many
codepaths first copy the path in a variable of size PATH_MAX,
which typically is 4096 that happens to match the limit, but
that feels like a bug waiting to happen. Besides, that would
not allow us to shorten the width of CE_NAMEMASK to use the bits
for new flags.
This redefines the meaning of the name length stored in the
cache_entry. A name that does not fit is represented by storing
CE_NAMEMASK in the field, and the actual length needs to be
computed by actually counting the bytes in the name[] field.
This way, only the unusually long paths need to suffer.

This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk
format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be
simpler.
In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the
on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared
across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the
htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields.
This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do
not exist in the on-disk format.

fast-import was relying on the fact that on most systems mmap() and
write() are synchronized by the filesystem's buffer cache. We were
relying on the ability to mmap() 20 bytes beyond the current end
of the file, then later fill in those bytes with a future write()
call, then read them through the previously obtained mmap() address.
This isn't always true with some implementations of NFS, but it is
especially not true with our NO_MMAP=YesPlease build time option used
on some platforms. If fast-import was built with NO_MMAP=YesPlease
we used the malloc()+pread() emulation and the subsequent write()
call does not update the trailing 20 bytes of a previously obtained
"mmap()" (aka malloc'd) address.
Under NO_MMAP that behavior causes unpack_entry() in sha1_file.c to
be unable to read an object header (or data) that has been unlucky
enough to be written to the packfile at a location such that it
is in the trailing 20 bytes of a window previously opened on that
same packfile.
This bug has gone unnoticed for a very long time as it is highly data
dependent. Not only does the object have to be placed at the right
position, but it also needs to be positioned behind some other object
that has been accessed due to a branch cache invalidation. In other
words the stars had to align just right, and if you did run into
this bug you probably should also have purchased a lottery ticket.
Fortunately the workaround is a lot easier than the bug explanation.
Before we allow unpack_entry() to read data from a pack window
that has also (possibly) been modified through write() we force
all existing windows on that packfile to be closed. By closing
the windows we ensure that any new access via the emulated mmap()
will reread the packfile, updating to the current file content.
This comes at a slight performance degredation as we cannot reuse
previously cached windows when we update the packfile. But it
is a fairly minor difference as the window closes happen at only
two points:
- When the packfile is finalized and its .idx is generated:
At this stage we are getting ready to update the refs and any
data access into the packfile is going to be random, and is
going after only the branch tips (to ensure they are valid).
Our existing windows (if any) are not likely to be positioned
at useful locations to access those final tip commits so we
probably were closing them before anyway.
- When the branch cache missed and we need to reload:
At this point fast-import is getting change commands for the next
commit and it needs to go re-read a tree object it previously
had written out to the packfile. What windows we had (if any)
are not likely to cover the tree in question so we probably were
closing them before anyway.
We do try to avoid unnecessarily closing windows in the second case
by checking to see if the packfile size has increased since the
last time we called unpack_entry() on that packfile. If the size
has not changed then we have not written additional data, and any
existing window is still vaild. This nicely handles the cases where
fast-import is going through a branch cache reload and needs to read
many trees at once. During such an event we are not likely to be
updating the packfile so we do not cycle the windows between reads.
With this change in place t9301-fast-export.sh (which was broken
by c3b0dec509) finally works again.

The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned
up if you die(). But sometimes you would need this sequence to
work:
1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for
writing;
2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the
results should be committed or rolled back;
3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this
"something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file
descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file
to be renamed);
4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as
appropriately.
This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in
the above sequence.

This commit unifies three separate places where whitespace checking was
performed:
- the whitespace checking previously done in builtin-apply.c is
extracted into a function in ws.c
- the equivalent logic in "git diff" is removed
- the emit_line_with_ws() function is also removed because that also
rechecks the whitespace, and its functionality is rolled into ws.c
The new function is called check_and_emit_line() and it does two things:
checks a line for whitespace errors and optionally emits it. The checking
is based on lines of content rather than patch lines (in other words, the
caller must strip the leading "+" or "-"); this was suggested by Junio on
the mailing list to allow for a future extension to "git show" to display
whitespace errors in blobs.
At the same time we teach it to report all classes of whitespace errors
found for a given line rather than reporting only the first found error.

When deciding whether or not to turn on automatic color

This variable was set only when the git program being run
started the pager; there was no way for an external program

An earlier fix to the said commit was incomplete; it mixed up the
meaning of the flag parameter passed to the internal fmt_ident()
function, so this corrects it.
git_author_info() and git_committer_info() can be told to issue a
warning when no usable user information is found, and optionally can be
told to error out. Operations that actually use the information to
record a new commit or a tag will still error out, but the caller to
leave reflog record will just silently use bogus user information.
Not warning on misconfigured user information while writing a reflog
entry is somewhat debatable, but it is probably nicer to the users to
silently let it pass, because the only information you are losing is who
checked out the branch.
* git_author_info() and git_committer_info() used to take 1 (positive
int) to error out with a warning on misconfiguration; this is now
signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME.
* These functions used to take -1 (negative int) to warn but continue;
this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME.
* fmt_ident() function implements the above error reporting behaviour
common to git_author_info() and git_committer_info(). A symbolic
constant IDENT_NO_DATE can be or'ed in to the flag parameter to make
it return only the "Name <email@address.xz>".
* fmt_name() is a thin wrapper around fmt_ident() that always passes
IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME and IDENT_NO_DATE.

The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what
`diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in
the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]). This attribute gives you finer
control per path.
For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes:
frotz whitespace
nitfol -whitespace
xyzzy whitespace=-trailing
all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz'
(i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about
them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the
default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are
noticed for path 'xyzzy'. A project with mixed Python and C might want
to have:
*.c whitespace
*.py whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab
in its toplevel .gitattributes file.

This exports three helper functions from ls-files.
* pathspec_match() checks if a given path matches a set of pathspecs
and optionally records which pathspec was used. This function used
to be called "match()" but renamed to be a bit less vague.
* report_path_error() takes a set of pathspecs and the record
pathspec_match() above leaves, and gives error message. This
was split out of the main function of ls-files.
* overlay_tree_on_cache() takes a tree-ish (typically "HEAD")
and overlays it on the current in-core index. By iterating
over the resulting index, the caller can find out the paths
in either the index or the HEAD. This function used to be
called "overlay_tree()" but renamed to be a bit more
descriptive.

The old rules used by fetch were coded as a series of ifs. The old
rules are:
1) match full refname if it starts with "refs/" or matches "HEAD"
2) verify that full refname starts with "refs/"
3) match abbreviated name in "refs/" if it starts with "heads/",
"tags/", or "remotes/".
4) match abbreviated name in "refs/heads/"
This is replaced by the new rules
a) match full refname
b) match abbreviated name prefixed with "refs/"
c) match abbreviated name prefixed with "refs/heads/"
The details of the new rules are different from the old rules. We no
longer verify that the full refname starts with "refs/". The new rule
(a) matches any full string. The old rules (1) and (2) were stricter.
Now, the caller is responsible for using sensible full refnames. This
should be the case for the current code. The new rule (b) is less
strict than old rule (3). The new rule accepts abbreviated names that
start with a non-standard prefix below "refs/".
Despite this modifications the new rules should handle all cases as
expected. Two tests are added to verify that fetch does not resolve
short tags or HEAD in remotes.
We may even think about loosening the rules a bit more and unify them
with the rev-parse rules. This would be done by replacing
ref_ref_fetch_rules with ref_ref_parse_rules. Note, the two new test
would break.

We use at least two rulesets for matching abbreviated refnames with
full refnames (starting with 'refs/'). git-rev-parse and git-fetch
use slightly different rules.
This commit introduces a new function refname_match
(const char *abbrev_name, const char *full_name, const char **rules).
abbrev_name is expanded using the rules and matched against full_name.
If a match is found the function returns true. rules is a NULL-terminate
list of format patterns with "%.*s", for example:
const char *ref_rev_parse_rules[] = {
"%.*s",
"refs/%.*s",
"refs/tags/%.*s",
"refs/heads/%.*s",
"refs/remotes/%.*s",
"refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD",
NULL
};
Asterisks are included in the format strings because this is the form
required in sha1_name.c. Sharing the list with the functions there is
a good idea to avoid duplicating the rules. Hopefully this
facilitates unified matching rules in the future.
This commit makes the rules used by rev-parse for resolving refs to
sha1s available for string comparison. Before this change, the rules
were buried in get_sha1*() and dwim_ref().
A follow-up commit will refactor the rules used by fetch.
refname_match() will be used for matching refspecs in git-send-pack.
Thanks to Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> for pointing
out that ref_matches_abbrev in remote.c solves a similar problem
and care should be taken to avoid confusion.

Previously, we set all ref pushes to 'OK', and then marked
them as errors if the remote reported so. This has the
problem that if the remote dies or fails to report a ref, we
just assume it was OK.
Instead, we use a new non-OK state to indicate that we are
expecting status (if the remote doesn't support the
report-status feature, we fall back on the old behavior).
Thus we can flag refs for which we expected a status, but
got none (conversely, we now also print a warning for refs
for which we get a status, but weren't expecting one).
This also allows us to simplify the receive_status exit
code, since each ref is individually marked with failure
until we get a success response. We can just print the usual
status table, so the user still gets a sense of what we were
trying to do when the failure happened.

This lets us show remote errors (e.g., a denied hook) along
with the usual push output.
There is a slightly clever optimization in receive_status
that bears explanation. We need to correlate the returned
status and our ref objects, which naively could be an O(m*n)
operation. However, since the current implementation of
receive-pack returns the errors to us in the same order that
we sent them, we optimistically look for the next ref to be
looked up to come after the last one we have found. So it
should be an O(m+n) merge if the receive-pack behavior
holds, but we fall back to a correct but slower behavior if
it should change.

Instead of keeping the 'ret' variable, we instead have a
status flag for each ref that tracks what happened to it.
We then print the ref status after all of the refs have
been examined.
This paves the way for three improvements:
- updating tracking refs only for non-error refs
- incorporating remote rejection into the printed status
- printing errors in a different order than we processed
(e.g., consolidating non-ff errors near the end with
a special message)

In a subsequent patch the path to the system-wide config file will be

of ETC_GITCONFIG into function calls. There is no change in behavior.
As a consequence, config.c is the only file that needs the definition of
ETC_GITCONFIG. Hence, -DETC_GITCONFIG is removed from the CFLAGS and a
special build rule for config.c is introduced. As a side-effect, changing
the defintion of ETC_GITCONFIG (e.g. in config.mak) does not trigger a

There are inconsistencies in the way commands currently handle
the core.excludesfile configuration variable. The problem is
the variable is too new to be noticed by anything other than
git-add and git-status.
* git-ls-files does not notice any of the "ignore" files by
default, as it predates the standardized set of ignore files.
The calling scripts established the convention to use
.git/info/exclude, .gitignore, and later core.excludesfile.
* git-add and git-status know about it because they call
add_excludes_from_file() directly with their own notion of
which standard set of ignore files to use. This is just a
stupid duplication of code that need to be updated every time
the definition of the standard set of ignore files is
changed.
* git-read-tree takes --exclude-per-directory=<gitignore>,
not because the flexibility was needed. Again, this was
because the option predates the standardization of the ignore
files.
* git-merge-recursive uses hardcoded per-directory .gitignore
and nothing else. git-clean (scripted version) does not
honor core.* because its call to underlying ls-files does not
know about it. git-clean in C (parked in 'pu') doesn't either.
We probably could change git-ls-files to use the standard set
when no excludes are specified on the command line and ignore
processing was asked, or something like that, but that will be a
change in semantics and might break people's scripts in a subtle
way. I am somewhat reluctant to make such a change.
On the other hand, I think it makes perfect sense to fix
git-read-tree, git-merge-recursive and git-clean to follow the
same rule as other commands. I do not think of a valid use case
to give an exclude-per-directory that is nonstandard to
read-tree command, outside a "negative" test in the t1004 test
script.
This patch is the first step to untangle this mess.
The next step would be to teach read-tree, merge-recursive and
clean (in C) to use setup_standard_excludes().

This introduces a new whitespace error type, "indent-with-non-tab".
The error is about starting a line with 8 or more SP, instead of
indenting it with a HT.
This is not enabled by default, as some projects employ an
indenting policy to use only SPs and no HTs.
The kernel folks and git contributors may want to enable this
detection with:

whitespace = indent-with-non-tab
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
This introduces core.whitespace configuration variable that lets
you specify the definition of "whitespace error".
Currently there are two kinds of whitespace errors defined:
* trailing-space: trailing whitespaces at the end of the line.
* space-before-tab: a SP appears immediately before HT in the
indent part of the line.
You can specify the desired types of errors to be detected by
listing their names (unique abbreviations are accepted)
separated by comma. By default, these two errors are always
detected, as that is the traditional behaviour. You can disable
detection of a particular type of error by prefixing a '-' in
front of the name of the error, like this:
[core]
whitespace = -trailing-space
This patch teaches the code to output colored diff with
DIFF_WHITESPACE color to highlight the detected whitespace
errors to honor the new configuration.

This changes a few small bits of behavior:
branch.<name>.merge is parsed as if it were the lhs of a fetch
refspec, and does not have to exactly match the actual lhs of a
refspec, so long as it is a valid abbreviation for the same ref.
branch.<name>.merge is no longer ignored if the remote is configured
with a branches/* file. Neither behavior is useful, because there can
only be one ref that gets fetched, but this is more consistant.
Also, fetch prints different information to standard out.

* Now, those functions take an "out" strbuf argument, where they store their

* those functions support "in place" editing, in the sense that it's OK to
call them this way:
convert_to_git(path, sb->buf, sb->len, sb);
When doable, conversions are done in place for real, else the strbuf
content is just replaced with the new one, transparentely for the caller.
If you want to create a new filter working this way, being the accumulation
of filter1, filter2, ... filtern, then your meta_filter would be:
int meta_filter(..., const char *src, size_t len, struct strbuf *sb)
{
int ret = 0;
ret |= filter1(...., src, len, sb);
if (ret) {
src = sb->buf;
len = sb->len;
}
ret |= filter2(...., src, len, sb);
if (ret) {
src = sb->buf;
len = sb->len;
}
....
return ret | filtern(..., src, len, sb);
}
That's why subfilters the convert_to_* functions called were also rewritten

The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from
"git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns
out to be a bad idea. It robbed cache-dirty information from people
who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh".
It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational
value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the
user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it
made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore.
This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist.
By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out
from "git diff" output. At the end of the command, it automatically
runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the
user. In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness
do not even have to see the warning.
The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing
the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the
configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

The read_tree() function is called only from the call chain to
run "git diff --cached" (this includes the internal call made by
git-runstatus to run_diff_index()). The function vacates stage
without any funky "merge" magic. The caller then goes and
compares stage #1 entries from the tree with stage #0 entries
from the original index.
When adding the cache entries this way, it used the general
purpose add_cache_entry(). This function looks for an existing
entry to replace or if there is none to find where to insert the
new entry, resolves D/F conflict and all the other things.
For the purpose of reading entries into an empty stage, none of
that processing is needed. We can instead append everything and
then sort the result at the end.
This commit changes read_tree() to first make sure that there is
no existing cache entries at specified stage, and if that is the
case, it runs add_cache_entry() with ADD_CACHE_JUST_APPEND flag
(new), and then sort the resulting cache using qsort().
This new flag tells add_cache_entry() to omit all the checks
such as "Does this path already exist? Does adding this path
remove other existing entries because it turns a directory to a
file?" and instead append the given cache entry straight at the
end of the active cache. The caller of course is expected to
sort the resulting cache at the end before using the result.

The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable,
and not to the point.
For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used?
As in "git status". Now it works.
Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why
are some programs complaining that they need a work tree?
IOW it is allowed to call
$ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla
when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory
and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right
thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are
inside a git directory.
Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was
specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory.
It does now.
The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree
(tertium non datur), is this:
--work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true,
which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR
ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found.
In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/,
which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the
appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have
caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a
long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

The new name is closer to the purpose of the function.
A NUL-terminated buffer makes things easier when callers need that.
Since the function returns only the memory written with data,
almost always allocating more space than needed because final
size is unknown, an extra NUL terminating the buffer is harmless.
It is not included in the returned size, so the function
remains working as before.
Also, now the function allows the buffer passed to be NULL at first,
and alloc_nr is now used for growing the buffer, instead size=*2.

These days, show_date() takes a date_mode parameter to specify
the output format, and a separate specialized function for dates
in E-mails does not make much sense anymore.
This retires show_rfc2822_date() function and make it just
another date output format.
