098501527f Merge branch 'jc/merge-bases'
The get_merge_bases*() API was easy to misuse by careless
copy&paste coders, leaving object flags tainted in the commits that
needed to be traversed.

* jc/merge-bases:
  get_merge_bases(): always clean-up object flags
  bisect: clean flags after checking merge bases

2ce406ccb8 get_merge_bases(): always clean-up object flags
The callers of get_merge_bases() can choose to leave object flags
used during the merge-base traversal by passing cleanup=0 as a
parameter, but in practice a very few callers can afford to do so
(namely, "git merge-base"), as they need to compute merge base in
preparation for other processing of their own and they need to see
the object without contaminate flags.

Change the function signature of get_merge_bases_many() and
get_merge_bases() to drop the cleanup parameter, so that the
majority of the callers do not have to say ", 1" at the end.

Give a new get_merge_bases_many_dirty() API to support only a few
callers that know they do not need to spend cycles cleaning up the
object flags.

7695d118e5 refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags field
resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref
resolves successfully for writing but not for reading).  Change this to be
a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when
we want this behaviour.

While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output
arguments at the end.  As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can
catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited.

Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same
treatment for consistency.

8597ea3afe commit: record buffer length in cache
Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.

For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.

This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

bc6b8fc130 use get_commit_buffer everywhere
Each of these sites assumes that commit->buffer is valid.
Since they would segfault if this was not the case, they are
likely to be correct in practice. However, we can
future-proof them by using get_commit_buffer.

And as a side effect, we abstract away the final bare uses
of commit->buffer.

e6dfcd6767 replace dangerous uses of strbuf_attach
It is not a good idea to strbuf_attach an arbitrary pointer
just because a function you are calling wants a strbuf.
Attaching implies a transfer of memory ownership; if anyone
were to modify or release the resulting strbuf, we would
free() the pointer, leading to possible problems:

  1. Other users of the original pointer might access freed
     memory.

  2. The pointer might not be the start of a malloc'd
     area, so calling free() on it in the first place would
     be wrong.

In the two cases modified here, we are fortunate that nobody
touches the strbuf once it is attached, but it is an
accident waiting to happen.  Since the previous commit,
commit_tree and friends take a pointer/buf pair, so we can
just do away with the strbufs entirely.

3ffefb54c0 commit_tree: take a pointer/len pair rather than a const strbuf
While strbufs are pretty common throughout our code, it is
more flexible for functions to take a pointer/len pair than
a strbuf. It's easy to turn a strbuf into such a pair (by
dereferencing its members), but less easy to go the other
way (you can strbuf_attach, but that has implications about
memory ownership).

This patch teaches commit_tree (and its associated callers
and sub-functions) to take such a pair for the commit
message rather than a strbuf.  This makes passing the buffer
around slightly more verbose, but means we can get rid of
some dangerous strbuf_attach calls in the next patch.

28452655af diff_setup_done(): return void
diff_setup_done() has historically returned an error code, but lost
the last nonzero return in 943d5b7 (allow diff.renamelimit to be set

did not.

Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account.

dabba590aa notes-merge: Don't remove .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE; it may be the user's cwd
When a manual notes merge is committed or aborted, we need to remove the
temporary worktree at .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. However, removing the
entire directory is not good if the user ran the 'git notes merge
--commit/--abort' from within that directory. On Windows, the directory
removal would simply fail, while on POSIX systems, users would suddenly
find themselves in an invalid current directory.

Therefore, instead of deleting the entire directory, we delete everything
_within_ the directory, and leave the (empty) directory in place.

This would cause a subsequent notes merge to abort, complaining about a
previous - unfinished - notes merge (due to the presence of
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE), so we also need to adjust this check to only
trigger when .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE is non-empty.

Finally, adjust the t3310 manual notes merge testcases to correctly handle
the existence of an empty .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory.

a0be62c100 notes-merge: use opendir/readdir instead of using read_directory()
notes_merge_commit() only needs to list all entries (non-recursively)
under a directory, which can be easily accomplished with
opendir/readdir and would be more lightweight than read_directory().

read_directory() is designed to list paths inside a working
directory. Using it outside of its scope may lead to undesired effects.

Apparently, one of the undesired effects of read_directory() is that it
doesn't deal with being given absolute paths. This creates problems for
notes_merge_commit() when git_path() returns an absolute path, which
happens when the current working directory is in a subdirectory of the
.git directory.

5f9f8d15f1 notes merge: eliminate OUTPUT macro
The macro is variadic, which breaks support for pre-C99 compilers,
and it hides an "if", which can make code hard to understand on
first reading if some arguments have side-effects.

The OUTPUT macro seems to have been inspired by the "output" function
from merge-recursive.  But that function in merge-recursive exists to
indent output based on the level of recursion and there is no similar
justification for such a function in "notes merge".

Noticed with 'make CC="gcc -std=c89 -pedantic"':

 notes-merge.c:24:22: warning: anonymous variadic macros were introduced in C99 [-Wvariadic-macros]

c689332391 Convert many resolve_ref() calls to read_ref*() and ref_exists()
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not
safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens,
the buffer may be changed.  Many call sites though do not care about
this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not.

Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref()
calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on
to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.

ba3c69a9ee commit: teach --gpg-sign option
This uses the gpg-interface.[ch] to allow signing the commit, i.e.

    $ git commit --gpg-sign -m foo
    You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
    user: "Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>"
    4096-bit RSA key, ID 96AFE6CB, created 2011-10-03 (main key ID 713660A7)

    [master 8457d13] foo
     1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

The lines of GPG detached signature are placed in a new multi-line header
field, instead of tucking the signature block at the end of the commit log
message text (similar to how signed tag is done), for multiple reasons:

 - The signature won't clutter output from "git log" and friends if it is
   in the extra header. If we place it at the end of the log message, we
   would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block
   with an option.

 - Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and
   show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature
   block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message).

 - The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting
   operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore
   unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of
   these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature
   block would look like.

 - When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree
   and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been
   fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that
   new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit.

A commit made with the above sample sequence would look like this:

    $ git cat-file commit HEAD
    tree 3cd71d90e3db4136e5260ab54599791c4f883b9d

a6a09095a0 git notes merge: Add another auto-resolving strategy: "cat_sort_uniq"
This new strategy is similar to "concatenate", but in addition to
concatenating the two note candidates, this strategy sorts the resulting
lines, and removes duplicate lines from the result. This is equivalent to
applying the "cat | sort | uniq" shell pipeline to the two note candidates.

This strategy is useful if the notes follow a line-based format where one
wants to avoid duplicate lines in the merge result.

Note that if either of the note candidates contain duplicate lines _prior_
to the merge, these will also be removed by this merge strategy.

The patch also contains tests and documentation for the new strategy.

6abb3655ef git notes merge: Manual conflict resolution, part 2/2
When the notes merge conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE have been
resolved, we need to record a new notes commit on the appropriate notes
ref with the resolved notes.

This patch implements 'git notes merge --commit' which the user should
run after resolving conflicts in the notes merge worktree. This command
finalizes the notes merge by recombining the partial notes tree from
part 1 with the now-resolved conflicts in the notes merge worktree in a
merge commit, and updating the appropriate ref to this merge commit.

In order to correctly finalize the merge, we need to keep track of three
things:

- The partial merge result from part 1, containing the auto-merged notes.
  This is now stored into a ref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_PARTIAL.
- The unmerged notes. These are already stored in
  .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE, thanks to part 1.
- The notes ref to be updated by the finalized merge result. This is now
  stored in a symref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_REF.

In addition to "git notes merge --commit", which uses the above details
to create the finalized notes merge commit, this patch also implements
"git notes merge --reset", which aborts the ongoing notes merge by simply
removing the files/directory described above.

FTR, "git notes merge --commit" reuses "git notes merge --reset" to remove
the information described above (.git/NOTES_MERGE_*) after the notes merge
have been successfully finalized.

The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the two new options.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: Fix nonsense sentence in --commit description
- Sverre Rabbelier: Rename --reset to --abort

809f38c8ab git notes merge: Manual conflict resolution, part 1/2
Conflicts (that are to be resolved manually) are written into a special-
purpose working tree, located at .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. Within this
directory, conflicting notes entries are stored (with conflict markers
produced by ll_merge()) using the SHA1 of the annotated object. The
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory will only contain the _conflicting_
note entries. The non-conflicting note entries (aka. the partial merge
result) are stored in 'local_tree', and the SHA1 of the resulting commit
is written to 'result_sha1'. The return value from notes_merge() is -1.

The user is told to edit the files within the .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE
directory in order to resolve the conflicts.

The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the correct setup
of .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE.

The next part will recombine the partial notes merge result with the
resolved conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE to produce the complete
merge result.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Jonathan Nieder: Use trace_printf(...) instead of OUTPUT(o, 5, ...)

3228e67120 git notes merge: Add automatic conflict resolvers (ours, theirs, union)
The new -s/--strategy command-line option to 'git notes merge' allow the user
to choose how notes merge conflicts should be resolved. There are four valid
strategies to choose from:

1. "manual" (the default): This will let the user manually resolve conflicts.
   This option currently fails with an error message. It will be implemented
   properly in future patches.

2. "ours": This automatically chooses the local version of a conflict, and
   discards the remote version.

3. "theirs": This automatically chooses the remote version of a conflict, and
   discards the local version.

4. "union": This automatically resolves the conflict by appending the remote
   version to the local version.

The strategies are implemented using the combine_notes_* functions from the
notes.h API.

The patch also includes testcases verifying the correct implementation of
these strategies.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Jonathan Nieder: Future-proof by always checking add_note() return value
- Stephen Boyd: Use test_commit
- Stephen Boyd: Use correct option name

2085b16aef git notes merge: Handle real, non-conflicting notes merges
This continuation of the 'git notes merge' implementation teaches notes-merge
to properly do real merges between notes trees: Two diffs are performed, one
from $base to $remote, and another from $base to $local. The paths in each
diff are normalized to SHA1 object names. The two diffs are then consolidated
into a single list of change pairs to be evaluated. Each change pair consist
of:

  - The annotated object's SHA1
  - The $base SHA1 (i.e. the common ancestor notes for this object)
  - The $local SHA1 (i.e. the current notes for this object)
  - The $remote SHA1 (i.e. the to-be-merged notes for this object)

From the pair ($base -> $local, $base -> $remote), we can determine the merge
result using regular 3-way rules. If conflicts are encountered in this
process, we fail loudly and exit (conflict handling to be added in a future
patch), If we can complete the merge without conflicts, the resulting
notes tree is committed, and the current notes ref updated.

The patch includes added testcases verifying that we can successfully do real
conflict-less merges.

- Jonathan Nieder: Future-proof by always checking add_note() return value
- Stephen Boyd: Use test_commit
- Jonathan Nieder: Use trace_printf(...) instead of OUTPUT(o, 5, ...)
- Junio C Hamano: fixup minor style issues

56881843d4 builtin/notes.c: Refactor creation of notes commits.
Create new function create_notes_commit() which is slightly more general than
commit_notes() (accepts multiple commit parents and does not auto-update the
notes ref). This function will be used by the notes-merge functionality in
future patches.

Also rewrite builtin/notes.c:commit_notes() to reuse this new function.

75ef3f4a5c git notes merge: Initial implementation handling trivial merges only
This initial implementation of 'git notes merge' only handles the trivial
merge cases (i.e. where the merge is either a no-op, or a fast-forward).

The patch includes testcases for these trivial merge cases.

Future patches will extend the functionality of 'git notes merge'.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Stephen Boyd: Simplify argc logic
- Stephen Boyd: Use test_commit
- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: Don't use C99 comments.
- Jonathan Nieder: Add constants for common verbosity values
- Jonathan Nieder: Use trace_printf(...) instead of OUTPUT(o, 5, ...)
- Jonathan Nieder: Remove extraneous show() function
- Jonathan Nieder: Clarify handling of empty/missing notes ref in notes_merge()
- Junio C Hamano: fixup minor style issues
