Steffen Prohaska 56f24e80f0 completion: handle '!f() { ... }; f' and "!sh -c '...' -" aliases
'!f() { ... }; f' and "!sh -c '....' -" are recommended patterns for
declaring more complex aliases (see git wiki [1]).  This commit teaches
the completion to handle them.

When determining which completion to use for an alias, an opening brace
or single quote is now skipped, and the search for a git command is
continued.  For example, the aliases '!f() { git commit ... }' or "!sh
-c 'git commit ...'" now trigger commit completion.  Previously, the
search stopped on the opening brace or quote, and the completion tried
it to determine how to complete, which obviously was useless.

The null command ':' is now skipped, so that it can be used as
a workaround to declare the desired completion style.

For example, the aliases

    !f() { : git commit ; if ... } f
    !sh -c ': git commit; if ...' -

now trigger commit completion.

Shell function declarations now work with or without space before
the parens, i.e. '!f() ...' and '!f () ...' both work.

Jeff King 218aa3a616 reuse cached commit buffer when parsing signatures
When we call show_signature or show_mergetag, we read the
commit object fresh via read_sha1_file and reparse its
headers. However, in most cases we already have the object
data available, attached to the "struct commit". This is
partially laziness in dealing with the memory allocation
issues, but partially defensive programming, in that we
would always want to verify a clean version of the buffer
(not one that might have been munged by other users of the
commit).

However, we do not currently ever munge the commit buffer,
and not using the already-available buffer carries a fairly
big performance penalty when we are looking at a large
number of commits. Here are timings on linux.git:

  [baseline, no signatures]
  $ time git log >/dev/null
  real    0m4.902s
  user    0m4.784s
  sys     0m0.120s

  [before]
  $ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
  real    0m14.735s
  user    0m9.964s
  sys     0m0.944s

  [after]
  $ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
  real    0m9.981s
  user    0m5.260s
  sys     0m0.936s

Note that our user CPU time drops almost in half, close to
the non-signature case, but we do still spend more
wall-clock and system time, presumably from dealing with
gpg.

An alternative to this is to note that most commits do not
have signatures (less than 1% in this repo), yet we pay the
re-parsing cost for every commit just to find out if it has
a mergetag or signature. If we checked that when parsing the
commit initially, we could avoid re-examining most commits
later on. Even if we did pursue that direction, however,
this would still speed up the cases where we _do_ have
signatures. So it's probably worth doing either way.

Jeff King 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).

Jeff King c1b3c71f4b commit: convert commit->buffer to a slab
This will make it easier to manage the buffer cache
independently of the "struct commit" objects. It also
shrinks "struct commit" by one pointer, which may be
helpful.

Unfortunately it does not reduce the max memory size of
something like "rev-list", because rev-list uses
get_cached_commit_buffer() to decide not to show each
commit's output (and due to the design of slab_at, accessing
the slab requires us to extend it, allocating exactly the
same number of buffer pointers we dropped from the commit
structs).

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.

Jeff King b66103c3ba convert logmsg_reencode to get_commit_buffer
Like the callsites in the previous commit, logmsg_reencode
already falls back to read_sha1_file when necessary.
However, I split its conversion out into its own commit
because it's a bit more complex.

We return either:

  1. The original commit->buffer

  2. A newly allocated buffer from read_sha1_file

  3. A reencoded buffer (based on either 1 or 2 above).

while trying to do as few extra reads/allocations as
possible. Callers currently free the result with
logmsg_free, but we can simplify this by pointing them
straight to unuse_commit_buffer. This is a slight layering
violation, in that we may be passing a buffer from (3).
However, since the end result is to free() anything except
(1), which is unlikely to change, and because this makes the
interface much simpler, it's a reasonable bending of the
rules.

Jeff King ba41c1c93f use get_commit_buffer to avoid duplicate code
For both of these sites, we already do the "fallback to
read_sha1_file" trick. But we can shorten the code by just
using get_commit_buffer.

Note that the error cases are slightly different when
read_sha1_file fails. get_commit_buffer will die() if the
object cannot be loaded, or is a non-commit.

For get_sha1_oneline, this will almost certainly never
happen, as we will have just called parse_object (and if it
does, it's probably worth complaining about).

For record_author_date, the new behavior is probably better;
we notify the user of the error instead of silently ignoring
it. And because it's used only for sorting by author-date,
somebody examining a corrupt repo can fallback to the
regular traversal order.

Jeff King a97934d820 use get_cached_commit_buffer where appropriate
Some call sites check commit->buffer to see whether we have
a cached buffer, and if so, do some work with it. In the
long run we may want to switch these code paths to make
their decision on a different boolean flag (because checking
the cache may get a little more expensive in the future).
But for now, we can easily support them by converting the
calls to use get_cached_commit_buffer.

Jeff King 152ff1cceb provide helpers to access the commit buffer
Many sites look at commit->buffer to get more detailed
information than what is in the parsed commit struct.
However, we sometimes drop commit->buffer to save memory,
in which case the caller would need to read the object
afresh. Some callers do this (leading to duplicated code),
and others do not (which opens the possibility of a segfault
if somebody else frees the buffer).

Let's provide a pair of helpers, "get" and "unuse", that let
callers easily get the buffer. They will use the cached
buffer when possible, and otherwise load from disk using
read_sha1_file.

Note that we also need to add a "get_cached" variant which
returns NULL when we do not have a cached buffer. At first
glance this seems to defeat the purpose of "get", which is
to always provide a return value. However, some log code
paths actually use the NULL-ness of commit->buffer as a
boolean flag to decide whether to try printing the
commit. At least for now, we want to continue supporting
that use.

Jeff King 0fb370da9c provide a helper to free commit buffer
This converts two lines into one at each caller. But more
importantly, it abstracts the concept of freeing the buffer,
which will make it easier to change later.

Note that we also need to provide a "detach" mechanism for a
tricky case in index-pack. We are passed a buffer for the
object generated by processing the incoming pack. If we are
not using --strict, we just calculate the sha1 on that
buffer and return, leaving the caller to free it.  But if we
are using --strict, we actually attach that buffer to an
object, pass the object to the fsck functions, and then
detach the buffer from the object again (so that the caller
can free it as usual).  In this case, we don't want to free
the buffer ourselves, but just make sure it is no longer
associated with the commit.

Note that we are making the assumption here that the
attach/detach process does not impact the buffer at all
(e.g., it is never reallocated or modified). That holds true
now, and we have no plans to change that. However, as we
abstract the commit_buffer code, this dependency becomes
less obvious. So when we detach, let's also make sure that
we get back the same buffer that we gave to the
commit_buffer code.

Jens Lehmann 3decb8e0ac git-gui: tolerate major version changes when comparing the git version
Since git 2.0.0 starting git gui in a submodule using a gitfile fails with
the following error:

   No working directory ../../../<path>

   couldn't change working directory
   to "../../../<path>": no such file or
   directory

This is because "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" is only run when git gui
sees a git version of at least 1.7.0 (which is the version in which the
 --show-toplevel option was introduced). But "package vsatisfies" returns
false when the major version changes, which is not what we want here.

Fix that for both places where the git version is checked using vsatisfies
by appending a '-' to the version number. This tells vsatisfies that a
change of the major version is not considered to be a problem, as long as
the new major version is larger. This is done for both the place that
caused the reported bug and another spot where the git version is tested
for another feature.

determined that it is a free-able buffer.

Jeff King 10322a0aaf do not create "struct commit" with xcalloc
In both blame and merge-recursive, we sometimes create a
"fake" commit struct for convenience (e.g., to represent the
HEAD state as if we would commit it). By allocating
ourselves rather than using alloc_commit_node, we do not
properly set the "index" field of the commit. This can
produce subtle bugs if we then use commit-slab on the
resulting commit, as we will share the "0" index with
another commit.

We can fix this by using alloc_commit_node() to allocate.
Note that we cannot free the result, as it is part of our
commit allocator. However, both cases were already leaking
the allocated commit anyway, so there's nothing to fix up.

Jeff King 969eba6341 commit: push commit_index update into alloc_commit_node
Whenever we create a commit object via lookup_commit, we
give it a unique index to be used with the commit-slab API.
The theory is that any "struct commit" we create would
follow this code path, so any such struct would get an
index. However, callers could use alloc_commit_node()
directly (and get multiple commits with index 0).

Let's push the indexing into alloc_commit_node so that it's
hard for callers to get it wrong.

Jeff King c335d74d34 alloc: include any-object allocations in alloc_report
When 2c1cbec (Use proper object allocators for unknown
object nodes too, 2007-04-16), added a special "any_object"
allocator, it never taught alloc_report to report on it. To
do so we need to add an extra type argument to the REPORT
macro, as that commit did for DEFINE_ALLOCATOR.

Jeff King 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.

Jeff King 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.
