956623157f strbuf: introduce starts_with() and ends_with()
prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() share the common "cmp" suffix that
typically are used to name functions that can be used for ordering,
but they can't, because they are not antisymmetric:

        prefixcmp("foo", "foobar") < 0
        prefixcmp("foobar", "foo") == 0

We in fact do not use these functions for ordering.  Replace them
with functions that just check for equality.

Add starts_with() and end_with() that will be used to replace
prefixcmp() and suffixcmp(), respectively, as the first step.  These
are named after corresponding functions/methods in programming
languages, like Java, Python and Ruby.

In vcs-svn/fast_export.c, there was already an ends_with() function
that did the same thing. Let's use the new one instead while at it.

3fb5aead29 builtin/remote: remove postfixcmp() and use suffixcmp() instead
Commit 8cc5b290 (git merge -X<option>, 25 Nov 2009) introduced
suffixcmp() with nearly the same implementation as postfixcmp()
that already existed since commit 211c8968 (Make git-remote a
builtin, 29 Feb 2008).

The only difference between the two implementations is that,
when the string is smaller than the suffix, one implementation
returns 1 while the other one returns -1.

But, as postfixcmp() is only used to compare for equality, the
distinction does not matter and does not affect the correctness of
this patch.

As postfixcmp() has always been static in builtin/remote.c
and is used nowhere else, it makes more sense to remove it
and use suffixcmp() instead in builtin/remote.c, rather than
to remove suffixcmp().

a4552ceb8a environment: normalize use of prefixcmp() by removing " != 0"
To be able to automatically convert prefixcmp() to starts_with()
we need first to make sure that prefixcmp() is always used in
the same way.

So let's remove " != 0" after prefixcmp().

b2a0afd96a Merge branch 'ak/submodule-foreach-quoting'
A behavior change, but a worthwhile one: "git submodule foreach"
was treating its arguments as part of a single command to be
concatenated and passed to a shell, making writing buggy
scripts too easy.

This patch preserves the old "just pass it to the shell" behavior
when a single argument is passed to 'git submodule foreach' and
moves to a new "skip the shell and use the arguments passed
unmolested" behavior when more than one argument is passed.

The old behavior (always concatenating and passing to the shell)
was similar to the 'ssh' command, while the new behavior (switching
on the number of arguments) is what 'xterm -e' does.

May need more thought to make sure this change is advertised well
so that scripts that used multiple arguments but added their own
extra layer of quoting are not broken.

96174145fc t5000: simplify gzip prerequisite checks
In t5000, we test the built-in ".tar.gz" config for
git-archive. To make our tests portable, we check that we
have a way to both gzip and gunzip, and we respected
environment variables to point to alternate commands for
doing these operations.

However, the $GZIP variable did not actually do anything, as
changing it would not affect the baked-in value in
archive-tar.c. Moreover, setting the variable $GZIP
influences gzip itself. From the gzip man page:

  The environment variable GZIP can hold a set of default
  options for gzip. These options are interpreted first and
  can be overwritten by explicit command line parameters.

We could rename this variable, and use it to set up custom
config (or even have a Makefile knob to affect the built
binary), but it is not worth the trouble; nobody has ever
reported a problem with the baked-in default, and they can
always change it via config if they need to. Let's just drop
the variable and use "gzip" in the test (keeping the
prerequisite, of course).

While we're at it, we can drop the GUNZIP variable and
prerequisite; it uses "gzip -d", so if we have GZIP, we
will have both.

We can also use test_lazy_prereq for the gzip prerequisite,
which is simpler and behaves more consistently with the rest
of git (e.g., by making output available when the test is
run with "-v").

9c0495d23e gettext.c: detect the vsnprintf bug at runtime
Bug 6530 [1] in glibc causes "git show v0.99.6~1" to fail with error
"your vsnprintf is broken". The workaround avoids that, but it
corrupts system error messages in non-C locales.

The bug has been fixed since 2.17. We could know running glibc version
with gnu_get_libc_version(). But version is not a sure way to detect
the bug because downstream may back port the fix to older versions. Do
a runtime test that immitates the call flow that leads to "your
vsnprintf is broken". Only enable the workaround if the test fails.

Tested on Gentoo Linux, glibc 2.16.0 and 2.17, amd64.

fc9261ca61 push: also use "upstream" mapping when pushing a single ref
When the user is using the 'upstream' mode, these commands:

    $ git push
    $ git push origin

would find the 'upstream' branch for the current branch, and then
push the current branch to update it.  However, pushing a single
branch explicitly, i.e.

    $ git push origin $(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)

would not go through the same ref mapping process, and ends up
updating the branch at 'origin' of the same name, which may not
necessarily be the upstream of the branch being pushed.

In the spirit similar to the previous one, map a colon-less refspec
using the upstream mapping logic.

ca02465b41 push: use remote.$name.push as a refmap
Since f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs,
2013-05-11), we stopped taking a non-storing refspec given on the
command line of "git fetch" literally, and instead started mapping
it via remote.$name.fetch refspecs.  This allows

    $ git fetch origin master

from the 'origin' repository, which is configured with

    [remote "origin"]
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

to update refs/remotes/origin/master with the result, as if the
command line were

    $ git fetch origin +master:refs/remotes/origin/master

to reduce surprises and improve usability.  Before that change, a
refspec on the command line without a colon was only to fetch the
history and leave the result in FETCH_HEAD, without updating the
remote-tracking branches.

When you are simulating a fetch from you by your mothership with a
push by you into your mothership, instead of having:

    [remote "satellite"]
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*

on the mothership repository and running:

    mothership$ git fetch satellite

you would have:

    [remote "mothership"]
        push = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*

on your satellite machine, and run:

    satellite$ git push mothership

Because we so far did not make the corresponding change to the push
side, this command:

    satellite$ git push mothership master

does _not_ allow you on the satellite to only push 'master' out but
still to the usual destination (i.e. refs/remotes/satellite/master).

Implement the logic to map an unqualified refspec given on the
command line via the remote.$name.push refspec.  This will bring a
bit more symmetry between "fetch" and "push".

to 'git mv file no-such-dir', which created the file no-such-dir

This patch skips the trailing slash removal for the destination
path.  The path with its trailing slash is passed to rename(2),
which errors out with the appropriate message:

5508f3ed2c send-email: set SSL options through IO::Socket::SSL::set_client_defaults
When --smtp-encryption=ssl, we use a Net::SMTP::SSL connection,
passing its ->new all the options that would otherwise go to
Net::SMTP->new (most options) and IO::Socket::SSL->start_SSL (for the
SSL options).

However, while Net::SMTP::SSL replaces the underlying socket class
with an SSL socket, it does nothing to allow passing options to that
socket.  So the SSL-relevant options are lost.

Fortunately there is an escape hatch: we can directly set the options
with IO::Socket::SSL::set_client_defaults.  They will then persist
within the IO::Socket::SSL module.

ac1fbbda20 submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodules
When submodule.$name.update is given as hint from the upstream in
the .gitmodules file, we used to blindly copy it to .git/config,
unless there already is a value defined for the submodule.

However, there is no reason to expect that the update mode hinted by
the upstream is available in the version of Git the user is using,
and a really custom "!cmd" prepared by an upstream person running on
Linux may not even be available to a user on Windows.  It is simply
irresponsible to copy the setting blindly and to attempt to use it
during a later "submodule update" without validating it first.

Just show the suggested value to the diagnostic output, and set the
value to 'none' in the configuration, if it is not one of the ones
that are known to be supported by this version of Git.

- process it once to build a fake "tree diff", i.e., a list of all
  changed files;

- feed it through parseblobdiffline to actually format it into the
  $ctext field, like the existing diff machinery would.

b449eb2cb3 gitk: Split out diff part in $commitinfo
So far we just parsed everything after the headers into the "comment"
bit of $commitinfo, including notes and -- if you gave weird options
-- the diff.

Split out the diff, if any, into a separate field.  It's easy to
recognize, since it always starts with /^diff/ and is preceded by an
empty line.

We take care to snip away said empty line.  The display code already
properly spaces the end of the message from the first diff, and
leaving another empty line at the end looks ugly.

5de460a2cf gitk: Refactor per-line part of getblobdiffline and its support
For later use with data sources other than a pipe, refactor the big
worker part of getblobdiffline to a separate function
parseblobdiffline.  Also refactor its initialization and wrap-up to
separate routines.

71846c5caf gitk: Support -G option from the command line
The -G option's usage is exactly analogous to that of -S, so
supporting it is easy.

7c801fbc74 Documentation: revamp git-cherry(1)
git-cherry(1)'s "description" section has never really managed
to explain to me what the command does.  It contains too much
explanation of the algorithm instead of simply saying what
goals it achieves, and too much terminology that we otherwise
do not use (fork-point instead of merge-base).

Try a much more concise approach: state what it finds out, why
this is neat, and how the output is formatted, in a few short
paragraphs.  In return, provide much longer examples of how it
fits into a "format-patch | am" based workflow, and how it
compares to reading the same from git-log.

Also carefully avoid using "merge" in a context where it does
not mean something that comes from git-merge(1).  Instead, say
"apply" in an attempt to further link to patch workflow
concepts.

While there, also omit the language about _which_ upstream
branch we treat as the default.  I literally just learned that
we support having several, so let's not confuse new users
here, especially considering that git-config(1) does not
document this.
