Junio C Hamano e636241fdb Merge branch 'jc/merge-tag-object'
"git merge $(git rev-parse v1.8.2)" behaved quite differently from
"git merge v1.8.2" as if v1.8.2 were written as v1.8.2^0 and did
not pay much attention to the annotated tag payload.

This makes the code notice the type of the tag object, in addition
to the dwim_ref() based classification the current code uses
(i.e. the name appears in refs/tags/) to decide when to special
case merging of tags.

When --verify-signatures is specified on the command-line of git-merge
or git-pull, check whether the commits being merged have good gpg
signatures and abort the merge in case they do not. This allows e.g.

Junio C Hamano 2d1495fe44 merge: a random object may not necssarily be a commit
The user could have said "git merge $(git rev-parse v1.0.0)"; we
shouldn't mark it as "Merge commit '15999998fb...'" as the merge
name, even though such an invocation might be crazy.

We could even read the "tag " header from the tag object and replace
the object name the user gave us, but let's not lose the information
by doing so, at least not yet.

Junio C Hamano eff80a9fd9 Allow custom "comment char"
Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message.  Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.

The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users.  They have a choice between

 - Don't do it.  Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and

 - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.

Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.

    $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit

so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

Antoine Pelisse 3e4141d08c merge: Honor prepare-commit-msg return code
65969d4 (merge: honor prepare-commit-msg hook, 2011-02-14) tried to
make "git commit" and "git merge" consistent, because a merge that
required user assistance has to be concluded with "git commit", but
back then only "git commit" triggered prepare-commit-msg hook.

When it added a call to run the prepare-commit-msg hook, however, it
forgot to check the exit code from the hook like "git commit" does,
and ended up replacing one inconsistency with another.

When prepare-commit-msg hook that is run from "git merge" exits with
a non-zero status, abort the commit.

Junio C Hamano 9bcbb1c218 merge --no-edit: do not credit people involved in the side branch
The credit lines "By" and "Via" to credit authors and committers for
their contributions on the side branch are meant as a hint to the
integrator to decide whom to mention in the log message text.  After
the integrator saves the message in the editor, they are meant to go
away and that is why they are commented out.

When a merge is recorded without editing the generated message,
however, its contents do not go through the normal stripspace()
and these lines are left in the merge.

Stop producing them when we know the merge is going to be recorded
without editing, i.e. when --no-edit is given.

Thomas Rast 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
regardless of -M/-C, 2006-08-09).  The callers were in a pretty
confused state: some actually checked for the return code, and some
did not.

Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account.
This conveniently also gets rid of a handful of different(!) error
messages that could never be triggered anyway.

Note that the function can still die().

Callers who ask for ERROR_ON_NO_NAME are not so much
concerned that the name will be blank (because, after all,
we will fall back to using the username), but rather it is a
check to make sure that low-quality identities do not end up
in things like commit messages or emails (whereas it is OK
for them to end up in things like reflogs).

When future commits add more quality checks on the identity,
each of these callers would want to use those checks, too.
Rather than modify each of them later to add a new flag,
let's refactor the flag.

Instead of waiting until we record the parents of resulting merge, reduce
redundant parents (including our HEAD) immediately after reading them.

The change to t7602 illustrates the essence of the effect of this change.
The octopus merge strategy used to be fed with redundant commits only to
discard them as "up-to-date", but we no longer feed such redundant commits
to it and the affected test degenerates to a regular two-head merge.

And obviously the known-to-be-broken test in t6028 is now fixed.

Config option diff.statGraphWidth=<width> is equivalent to

by format-patch.

For the graph-width limiting to be usable, it should happen
'automatically' once configured, hence the config option.
Nevertheless, graph width limiting only makes sense when used on a
wide terminal, so it should not influence the output of format-patch,
which adheres to the 80-column standard.

Junio C Hamano d46f476cb2 merge: do not trust fstat(2) too much when checking interactiveness
The heuristic used by "git merge" to decide if it automatically gives an
editor upon clean automerge is to see if the standard input and the
standard output is the same device and is a tty, we are in an interactive
session.  "The same device" test was done by comparing fstat(2) result on
the two file descriptors (and they must match), and we asked isatty() only
for the standard input (we insist that they are the same device and there
is no point asking tty-ness of the standard output).

The stat(2) emulation in the Windows port however does not give a usable
value in the st_ino field, so even if the standard output is connected to
something different from the standard input, "The same device" test may
incorrectly return true. To accomodate it, add another isatty() check for
the standard output stream as well.

Junio C Hamano b5c9f1c1b0 merge: do not create a signed tag merge under --ff-only option
Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge"
always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that
happens to be a descendant of your current commit.

Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to
make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be
possible to say:

	$ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30
        $ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9

and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka
the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with:

	fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.

because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by
fast forwarding.

We could teach users that now they have to do

	$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0

but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves.

When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag,
even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the
integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be
asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore,
this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted
to add.

Thomas Rast f26af3fcbc merge: add instructions to the commit message when editing
Before f824628 (merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions,
2012-01-10), git-merge only started an editor if the user explicitly
asked for it with --edit.  Thus it seemed unlikely that the user would
need extra guidance.

After f824628 the _normal_ thing is to start an editor.  Give at least
an indication of why we are doing it.

The sentence about justification is one of the few things about
standard git that are not agnostic to the workflow that the user
chose.  However, f824628 was proposed by Linus specifically to
discourage users from merging unrelated upstream progress into topic
branches.  So we may as well take another step in the same direction.

Junio C Hamano f8246281af merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions
Traditionally, a cleanly resolved merge was committed by "git merge" using
the auto-generated merge commit log message without invoking the editor.

After 5 years of use in the field, it turns out that people perform too
many unjustified merges of the upstream history into their topic branches.
These merges are not just useless, but they are often not explained well,
and making the end result unreadable when it gets time for merging their
history back to their upstream.

Earlier we added the "--edit" option to the command, so that people can
edit the log message to explain and justify their merge commits. Let's
take it one step further and spawn the editor by default when we are in an
interactive session (i.e. the standard input and the standard output are
pointing at the same tty device).

There may be existing scripts that leave the standard input and the
standard output of the "git merge" connected to whatever environment the
scripts were started, and such invocation might trigger the above
"interactive session" heuristics.  GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable
can be set to "no" at the beginning of such scripts to use the historical
behaviour while the script runs.

Note that this backward compatibility is meant only for scripts, and we
deliberately do *not* support "merge.edit = yes/no/auto" configuration
option to allow people to keep the historical behaviour.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy d5a35c114a Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer use
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that
use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the
value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the
static buffer's value.

The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c
demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge()

branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag);

Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref()
may be called again and destroy "branch".

lookup_commit_or_die
 lookup_commit_reference
  lookup_commit_reference_gently
   parse_object
    lookup_replace_object
     do_lookup_replace_object
      prepare_replace_object
       for_each_replace_ref
        do_for_each_ref
         get_loose_refs
          get_ref_dir
           get_ref_dir
            resolve_ref

All call sites are checked and made sure that xstrdup() is called if
the value should be saved.
