e96c19c50f config: support values longer than 1023 bytes
parse_value in config.c has a static buffer of 1024 bytes that it
parse the value into. This can sometimes be a problem when a
config file contains very long values.

It's particularly amusing that git-config already is able to write
such files, so it should probably be able to read them as well.

Fix this by using a strbuf instead of a fixed-size buffer.

9cba13ca5d standardize brace placement in struct definitions
In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

 struct foo {
	int bar;
	char *baz;
 };

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

 is ...  well ...  inconsistent, but all right-thinking people know that

8f323c00dd config: drop support for GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL
Now that test-lib sets $HOME to protect against pollution from user
settings, GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL is not needed for use by the test
suite any more.  And as luck would have it, a quick code search
reveals no other users in the wild.

This patch does not affect GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM, which is still
needed.

dce9648916 Make the default abbrev length configurable
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.

These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.

We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.

This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.

2169ddc056 Disallow empty section and variable names
It is possible to break your repository config by creating an invalid key.  The
config parser in turn chokes on it:

  $ git init
  Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/gittest/.git/
  $ git config .foo false
  $ git config core.bare
  fatal: bad config file line 6 in .git/config

This patch makes git-config reject keys which start or end with a dot and adds
tests for these cases.

b09c53a3e3 Sanity-check config variable names
Sanity-check config variable names when adding and retrieving them.  As a side
effect code duplication between git_config_set_multivar and get_value (in
builtin/config.c) was removed and the common functionality was placed in
git_config_parse_key.

This breaks a test in t1300 which used invalid section-less keys in the tests
for "git -c". However, allowing such names there was useless, since there was
no way to set them via config file, and no part of git actually tried to use
section-less keys. This patch updates the test to use more realistic examples
as well as adding its own test.

53c403116a push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'
Users are sometimes confused with two different types of "tracking" behavior
in Git: "remote-tracking" branches (e.g. refs/remotes/*/*) versus the
merge/rebase relationship between a local branch and its @{upstream}
(controlled by branch.foo.remote and branch.foo.merge config settings).

When the push.default is set to 'tracking', it specifies that a branch should
be pushed to its @{upstream} branch. In other words, setting push.default to
'tracking' applies only to the latter of the above two types of "tracking"
behavior.

In order to make this more understandable to the user, we rename the
push.default == 'tracking' option to push.default == 'upstream'.

push.default == 'tracking' is left as a deprecated synonym for 'upstream'.

db6195efab handle arbitrary ints in git_config_maybe_bool
This function recently gained the ability to recognize the documented "0"
and "1" values as false/true. However, unlike regular git_config_bool, it
did not treat arbitrary non-zero numbers as true.

While this is undocumented and probably ridiculous for somebody to rely
on, it is safer to behave exactly as git_config_bool would. Because
git_config_maybe_bool can be used to retrofit new non-bool values onto
existing bool options, not behaving in exactly the same way is technically
a regression.

b2be2f6aea log.decorate: accept 0/1 bool values
We explicitly document "0" and "1" as synonyms for "false"
and "true" in boolean config options. However, we don't
actually handle those values in git_config_maybe_bool.

In most cases this works fine, as we call git_config_bool,
which in turn calls git_config_bool_or_int, which in turn
calls git_config_maybe_bool. Values of 0/1 are considered
"not bool", but their integer values end up being converted
to the corresponding boolean values.

However, the log.decorate code looks for maybe_bool
explicitly, so that it can fall back to the "short" and
"full" strings. It does not handle 0/1 at all, and considers
them invalid values.

We cannot simply add 0/1 support to git_config_maybe_bool.
That would confuse git_config_bool_or_int, which may want to
distinguish the integer values "0" and "1" from bools.

72a5b561fc core.abbrevguard: Ensure short object names stay unique a bit longer
Even though git makes sure that it uses enough hexdigits to show an
abbreviated object name unambiguously, as more objects are added to the
repository over time, a short name that used to be unique will stop being
unique.  Git uses this many extra hexdigits that are more than necessary
to make the object name currently unique, in the hope that its output will
stay unique a bit longer.

1f2baa78c6 config: treat non-existent config files as empty
The git_config() function signals error by returning -1 in
two instances:

  1. An actual error occurs in opening a config file (parse
     errors cause an immediate die).

  2. Of the three possible config files, none was found.

However, this second case is often not an error at all; it
simply means that the user has no configuration (they are
outside a repo, and they have no ~/.gitconfig file). This
can lead to confusing errors, such as when the bash
completion calls "git config --list" outside of a repo. If
the user has a ~/.gitconfig, the command completes
succesfully; if they do not, it complains to stderr.

This patch allows callers of git_config to distinguish
between the two cases. Error is signaled by -1, and
otherwise the return value is the number of files parsed.
This means that the traditional "git_config(...) < 0" check
for error should work, but callers who want to know whether
we parsed any files or not can still do so.

2b64fc894d pass "git -c foo=bar" params through environment
Git uses the "-c foo=bar" parameters to set a config
variable for a single git invocation. We currently do this
by making a list in the current process and consulting that
list in git_config.

This works fine for built-ins, but the config changes are
silently ignored by subprocesses, including dashed externals
and invocations to "git config" from shell scripts.

This patch instead puts them in an environment variable
which we consult when looking at config (both internally and
via calls "git config").

LF line endings in the working directory, respectively.

The line ending style to be used for normalized text files in the

"true", CRLFs are used in the working directory; when set to "input" or
"false", LFs are used.

91c38a2108 ident.c: check explicit identity for name and email separately
bb1ae3f (commit: Show committer if automatic, 2008-05-04) added a logic to
check both name and email were given explicitly by the end user, but it
assumed that fmt_ident() is never called before git_default_user_config()
is called, which was fragile.  The former calls setup_ident() and fills
the "default" name and email, so the check in the config parser would have
mistakenly said both are given even if only user.name was provided.

Make the logic more robust by keeping track of name and email separately.

a97a74686d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Thomas Rast: fix core.notesRef documentation
- Tor Arne Vestbø: fix printing of multi-line notes
- Alex Riesen: Using char array instead of char pointer costs less BSS
- Johan Herland: Plug leak when msg is good, but msglen or type causes return

2b7ca830c6 use write_str_in_full helper to avoid literal string lengths
In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:

-	write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+	strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+	write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+	strbuf_reset(&buf);

IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,

    static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
    {
           return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
    }

and then use it like this:

-       strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
-       write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
-       strbuf_reset(&buf);
+       write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");

Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.

Transformed via this:

    perl -pi -e \
        's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\
      $(git grep -l 'write_in_full.*"')

This message is designed to help new users understand what
has happened when refs fail to push. However, it does not
help experienced users at all, and significantly clutters
the output, frequently dwarfing the regular status table and
making it harder to see.

This patch introduces a general configuration mechanism for
optional messages, with this push message as the first

ebdaae372b config: Keep inner whitespace verbatim
Configuration values are expected to be quoted when they have leading or
trailing whitespace, but inner whitespace should be kept verbatim even if
the value is not quoted. This is already documented in git-config(1), but
the code caused inner whitespace to be collapsed to a single space,
breaking, for example, clones from a path that has two consecutive spaces
in it, as future fetches would only see a single space.

be66a6c43d Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliable
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.

It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.

As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.

At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

e0b3cc0dff Fix buffer overflow in config parser
When interpreting a config value, the config parser reads in 1+ space
character(s) and puts -one- space character in the buffer as soon as
the first non-space character is encountered (if not inside quotes).

Unfortunately the buffer size check lacks the extra space character
which gets inserted at the next non-space character, resulting in
a crash with a specially crafted config entry.

The unit test now uses Java to compile a platform independent
.NET framework to output the test string in C# :o)

    Read: Thanks to Johannes Sixt for the correct printf call
    which replaces the perl invocation.

Btw, while doing this, I also though that "renames = on/off" made more

521537476f New config push.default to decide default behavior for push
When "git push" is not told what refspecs to push, it pushes all matching
branches to the current remote.  For some workflows this default is not
useful, and surprises new users.  Some have even found that this default
behaviour is too easy to trigger by accident with unwanted consequences.

Introduce a new configuration variable "push.default" that decides what
action git push should take if no refspecs are given or implied by the
command line arguments or the current remote configuration.

Possible values are:

  'nothing'  : Push nothing;
  'matching' : Current default behaviour, push all branches that already
               exist in the current remote;
  'tracking' : Push the current branch to whatever it is tracking;
  'current'  : Push the current branch to a branch of the same name,
               i.e. HEAD.

aa38740791 git_config(): not having a per-repo config file is not an error
Currently git_config() returns an error if there is no repo config file
available (cwd is not a git repo); it will correctly parse the system
and global config files, but still return an error.

It doesn't affect anything else since almost nobody is checking for the
return code (with the exception of 'git remote update').

A reorganization in 'git config' would benefit from being able to
properly detect errors in git_config() without the noise generated when
cwd is not a git repo.

879ef2485d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

2de9de5e4a Move code interpreting path relative to exec-dir to new function system_path()
Expanding system paths relative to git_exec_path can be used for
creating an installation that can be moved to a different directory
without re-compiling.  We use this approach for template_dir and the
system wide gitconfig.  The Windows installer (msysgit) is an example
for such a setup.

This commit moves common code to a new function system_path().  System
paths that are to be interpreted relative to git_exec_path are passed to
system_path() and the return value is used instead of the original path.
system_path() prefixes a relative path with git_exec_path and leaves
absolute paths unmodified.  For example, we now write

    template_dir = system_path(DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR);

being created, that branch will have branch.<name>.rebase set to true.

e5c349ba11 config.c: Escape backslashes in section names properly
If an element of the configuration key name other than the first or last
contains a backslash, it is not escaped on output, but is treated as an
escape sequence on input. Thus, the backslash is lost when re-loading
the configuration.

This patch corrects this by having backslashes escaped properly, and
introduces a new test for this bug.

c35b0b5884 Fix git_config_bool_or_int
The earlier one botched the return value logic between config_bool and
config_bool_and_int.  The former should normalize between 0 and 1 while
the latter should give back full range of integer values.

c1867cea90 git_config_*: don't assume we are parsing a config file
These functions get called by other code, including parsing
config options from the command line. In that case,
config_file_name is NULL, leading to an ugly message or even
a segfault on some implementations of printf.

9ed36cfa35 branch: optionally setup branch.*.merge from upstream local branches
"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.

Includes test cases for the new functionality.
