Junio C Hamano 93cfa7c7a8 approxidate_careful() reports errorneous date string
For a long time, the time based reflog syntax (e.g. master@{yesterday})
didn't complain when the "human readable" timestamp was misspelled, as
the underlying mechanism tried to be as lenient as possible.  The funny
thing was that parsing of "@{now}" even relied on the fact that anything
not recognized by the machinery returned the current timestamp.

Introduce approxidate_careful() that takes an optional pointer to an
integer, that gets assigned 1 when the input does not make sense as a
timestamp.

As I am too lazy to fix all the callers that use approxidate(), most of
the callers do not take advantage of the error checking, but convert the
code to parse reflog to use it as a demonstration.

Tests are mostly from Jeff King.

Junio C Hamano 85e51b783c Make "subtree" part more orthogonal to the rest of merge-recursive.
This makes "subtree" more orthogonal to the rest of recursive merge, so
that you can use subtree and ours/theirs features at the same time.  For
example, you can now say:

	git merge -s subtree -Xtheirs other

to merge with "other" branch while shifting it up or down to match the
shape of the tree of the current branch, and resolving conflicts favoring
the changes "other" branch made over changes made in the current branch.

It also allows the prefix used to shift the trees to be specified using
the "-Xsubtree=$prefix" option.  Giving an empty prefix tells the command
to figure out how much to shift trees automatically as we have always
done.  "merge -s subtree" is the same as "merge -s recursive -Xsubtree="
(or "merge -s recursive -Xsubtree").

Based on an old patch done back in the days when git-merge was a script;
Avery ported the script part to builtin-merge.c.  Bugs in shift_tree()
is mine.

Junio C Hamano 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.

Junio C Hamano da165f470e unpack-trees.c: prepare for looking ahead in the index
This prepares but does not yet implement a look-ahead in the index entries
when traverse-trees.c decides to give us tree entries in an order that
does not match what is in the index.

A case where a look-ahead in the index is necessary happens when merging
branch B into branch A while the index matches the current branch A, using
a tree O as their common ancestor, and these three trees looks like this:

   O        A       B
   t                t
   t-i      t-i     t-i
   t-j      t-j
            t/1
            t/2

The traverse_trees() function gets "t", "t-i" and "t" from trees O, A and
B first, and notices that A may have a matching "t" behind "t-i" and "t-j"
(indeed it does), and tells A to give that entry instead.  After unpacking
blob "t" from tree B (as it hasn't changed since O in B and A removed it,
it will result in its removal), it descends into directory "t/".

The side that walked index in parallel to the tree traversal used to be
implemented with one pointer, o->pos, that points at the next index entry
to be processed.  When this happens, the pointer o->pos still points at
"t-i" that is the first entry.  We should be able to skip "t-i" and "t-j"
and locate "t/1" from the index while the recursive invocation of
traverse_trees() walks and match entries found there, and later come back
to process "t-i".

While that look-ahead is not implemented yet, this adds a flag bit,
CE_UNPACKED, to mark the entries in the index that has already been
processed.  o->pos pointer has been renamed to o->cache_bottom and it
points at the first entry that may still need to be processed.

Junio C Hamano e11d7b5969 "reset --merge": fix unmerged case
Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed
"git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries.  But it wished if
unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been
used.  This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that
any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before
starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information.

The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting
unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it
did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers
in the resulting file in the work tree.

Fix it by doing three things:

 - Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge"
   better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have
   any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new
   HEAD records";

 - Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache
   while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy
   the object name from the higher stage entry.  The code used to take the
   object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have
   stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant
   that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did.

   The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the
   index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have
   corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it
   when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path.  In order to
   differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry
   added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED.

 - Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to
   cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED.  They are previously unmerged
   entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are
   resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are
   resetting to.

Junio C Hamano 8aa38563b2 resolve-undo: teach "update-index --unresolve" to use resolve-undo info
The update-index plumbing command had a hacky --unresolve implementation
that was written back in the days when merge was the only way for users to
end up with higher stages in the index, and assumed that stage #2 must
have come from HEAD, stage #3 from MERGE_HEAD and didn't bother to compute
the stage #1 information.

There were several issues with this approach:

 - These days, merge is not the only command, and conflicts coming from
   commands like cherry-pick, "am -3", etc. cannot be recreated by looking
   at MERGE_HEAD;

 - For a conflict that came from a merge that had renames, picking up the
   same path from MERGE_HEAD and HEAD wouldn't help recreating it, either;

 - It may have been Ok not to recreate stage #1 back when it was written,
   because "diff --ours/--theirs" were the only availble ways to review
   conflicts and they don't need stage #1 information.  "diff --cc" that
   was invented much later is a lot more useful way but it needs stage #1.

We can use resolve-undo information recorded in the index extension to
solve all of these issues.

Junio C Hamano 4421a82357 resolve-undo: "checkout -m path" uses resolve-undo information
Once you resolved conflicts by "git add path", you cannot recreate the
conflicted state with "git checkout -m path", because you lost information
from higher stages in the index when you resolved them.

Since we record the necessary information in the resolve-undo index
extension these days, we can reproduce the unmerged state in the index and
check it out.

Junio C Hamano cfc5789ada resolve-undo: record resolved conflicts in a new index extension section
When resolving a conflict using "git add" to create a stage #0 entry, or
"git rm" to remove entries at higher stages, remove_index_entry_at()
function is eventually called to remove unmerged (i.e. higher stage)
entries from the index.  Introduce a "resolve_undo_info" structure and
keep track of the removed cache entries, and save it in a new index
extension section in the index_state.

Operations like "read-tree -m", "merge", "checkout [-m] <branch>" and
"reset" are signs that recorded information in the index is no longer
necessary.  The data is removed from the index extension when operations
start; they may leave conflicted entries in the index, and later user
actions like "git add" will record their conflicted states afresh.

This has the same effect as --no-replace-objects option; git ignores the
replace refs.  When --no-replace-objects option is passed to git, this
environment variable is set to "1" and exported to subprocesses in order
to propagate the same setting.

It is useful for example for scripts, as the git commands used in them can
now be aware that they must not read replace refs.

Jonathan Nieder 6361824589 Teach git var about GIT_PAGER
Expose the command found by setup_pager() for scripts to use.
Scripts can use this to avoid repeating the logic to look for a
proper pager in each command.

Jonathan Nieder 44fcb4977c Teach git var about GIT_EDITOR
Expose the command used by launch_editor() for scripts to use.
This should allow one to avoid searching for a proper editor
separately in each command.

git_editor(void) uses the logic to decide which editor to use
that used to live in launch_editor().  The function returns NULL
if there is no suitable editor; the caller is expected to issue
an error message when appropriate.

launch_editor() uses git_editor() and gives the error message the
same way as before when EDITOR is not set.

"git var GIT_EDITOR" gives the editor name, or an error message
when there is no appropriate one.

"git var -l" gives GIT_EDITOR=name only if there is an
appropriate editor.

Shawn O. Pearce 34b6cb8bb0 http-backend: Protect GIT_PROJECT_ROOT from /../ requests
Eons ago HPA taught git-daemon how to protect itself from /../
attacks, which Junio brought back into service in d79374c7b5
("daemon.c and path.enter_repo(): revamp path validation").

I did not carry this into git-http-backend as originally we relied
only upon PATH_TRANSLATED, and assumed the HTTP server had done
its access control checks to validate the resolved path was within
a directory permitting access from the remote client.  This would
usually be sufficient to protect a server from requests for its
/etc/passwd file by http://host/smart/../etc/passwd sorts of URLs.

However in 917adc0360 Mark Lodato added GIT_PROJECT_ROOT as an
additional method of configuring the CGI.  When this environment
variable is used the web server does not generate the final access
path and therefore may blindly pass through "/../etc/passwd"
in PATH_INFO under the assumption that "/../" might have special
meaning to the invoked CGI.

Instead of permitting these sorts of malformed path requests, we
now reject them back at the client, with an error message for the
server log.  This matches git-daemon behavior.

Shawn O. Pearce 28754ab5f0 Move "get_ack()" back to fetch-pack
In 41cb7488 Linus moved this function to connect.c for reuse inside
of the git-clone-pack command.  That was 2005, but in 2006 Junio
retired git-clone-pack in commit efc7fa53.  Since then the only
caller has been fetch-pack.  Since this ACK/NAK exchange is only
used by the fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol we should move it back
to be a private detail of fetch-pack.

Johannes Schindelin 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

Junio C Hamano 619a644d6d "checkout A...B" switches to the merge base between A and B
When flipping commits around on topic branches, I often end up doing
this sequence:

 * Run "log --oneline next..jc/frotz" to find out the first commit
   on 'jc/frotz' branch not yet merged to 'next';

 * Run "checkout $that_commit^" to detach HEAD to the parent of it;

 * Rebuild the series on top of that commit; and

 * "show-branch jc/frotz HEAD" and "diff jc/frotz HEAD" to verify.

Introduce a new syntax to "git checkout" to name the commit to switch to,
to make the first two steps easier.  When the branch to switch to is
specified as A...B (you can omit either A or B but not both, and HEAD
is used instead of the omitted side), the merge base between these two
commits are computed, and if there is one unique one, we detach the HEAD
at that commit.

With this, I can say "checkout next...jc/frotz".

Clemens Buchacher f7835a251c preserve mtime of local clone
A local clone without hardlinks copies all objects, including dangling
ones, to the new repository. Since the mtimes are renewed, those
dangling objects cannot be pruned by "git gc --prune", even if they
would have been old enough for pruning in the original repository.

Instead, preserve mtime during copy. "git gc --prune" will then work
in the clone just like it did in the original.
