This extract from contrib/subtree/t7900 triggered a false positive due
to three chainlint limitations:
* recognizing only a "blessed" set of here-doc tag names in a subshell
("EOF", "EOT", "INPUT_END"), of which "TXT" is not a member
* inability to recognize multi-line $(...) when the first statement of
the body is cuddled with the opening "$("
* inability to recognize multiple constructs on a single line, such as
opening a multi-line $(...) and starting a here-doc
Now that all of these shortcomings have been addressed, turn this rather
pathological bit of shell coding into a chainlint test case.

chainlint.sed recognizes multi-line quoted strings within subshells:
echo "abc
def" >out &&
so it can avoid incorrectly classifying lines internal to the string as
breaking the &&-chain. To identify the first line of a multi-line
string, it checks if the line contains a single quote. However, this is
fragile and can be easily fooled by a line containing multiple strings:
echo "xyz" "abc
def" >out &&
Make detection more robust by checking for an odd number of quotes
rather than only a single one.
(Escaped quotes are not handled, but support may be added later.)
The original multi-line string recognizer rather cavalierly threw away
all but the final quote, whereas the new one is careful to retain all
quotes, so the "expected" output of a couple existing chainlint tests is
updated to account for this new behavior.

After swallowing a here-doc, chainlint.sed assumes that no other
processing needs to be done on the line aside from checking for &&-chain
breakage; likewise, after folding a multi-line quoted string. However,
it's conceivable (even if unlikely in practice) that both a here-doc and
a multi-line quoted string might commence on the same line:
cat <<\EOF && echo "foo
bar"
data
EOF
Support this case by sending the line (after swallowing and folding)
through the normal processing sequence rather than jumping directly to
the check for broken &&-chain.
This change also allows other somewhat pathological cases to be handled,
such as closing a subshell on the same line starting a here-doc:
(
cat <<-\INPUT)
data
INPUT
or, for instance, opening a multi-line $(...) expression on the same
line starting a here-doc:
x=$(cat <<-\END &&
data
END
echo "x")
among others.

chainlint.sed swallows top-level here-docs to avoid being fooled by
content which might look like start-of-subshell. It likewise swallows
here-docs in subshells to avoid marking content lines as breaking the
&&-chain, and to avoid being fooled by content which might look like
end-of-subshell, start-of-nested-subshell, or other specially-recognized
constructs.
At the time of implementation, it was believed that it was not possible
to support arbitrary here-doc tag names since 'sed' provides no way to
stash the opening tag name in a variable for later comparison against a
line signaling end-of-here-doc. Consequently, tag names are hard-coded,
with "EOF" being the only tag recognized at the top-level, and only
"EOF", "EOT", and "INPUT_END" being recognized within subshells. Also,
special care was taken to avoid being confused by here-docs nested
within other here-docs.
In practice, this limited number of hard-coded tag names has been "good
enough" for the 13000+ existing Git test, despite many of those tests
using tags other than the recognized ones, since the bodies of those
here-docs do not contain content which would fool the linter.
Nevertheless, the situation is not ideal since someone writing new
tests, and choosing a name not in the "blessed" set could potentially
trigger a false-positive.
To address this shortcoming, upgrade chainlint.sed to handle arbitrary
here-doc tag names, both at the top-level and within subshells.

It *is* a confusing thing to look at a diff of diffs. All too easy is it
to mix up whether the -/+ markers refer to the "inner" or the "outer"
diff, i.e. whether a `+` indicates that a line was added by either the
old or the new diff (or both), or whether the new diff does something
different than the old diff.
To make things easier to process for normal developers, we introduced
the dual color mode which colors the lines according to the commit diff,
i.e. lines that are added by a commit (whether old, new, or both) are
colored in green. In non-dual color mode, the lines would be colored
according to the outer diff: if the old commit added a line, it would be
colored red (because that line addition is only present in the first
commit range that was specified on the command-line, i.e. the "old"
commit, but not in the second commit range, i.e. the "new" commit).
However, this dual color mode is still not making things clear enough,
as we are looking at two levels of diffs, and we still only pick a color
according to *one* of them (the outer diff marker is colored
differently, of course, but in particular with deep indentation, it is
easy to lose track of that outer diff marker's background color).
Therefore, let's add another dimension to the mix. Still use
green/red/normal according to the commit diffs, but now also dim the
lines that were only in the old commit, and use bold face for the lines
that are only in the new commit.
That way, it is much easier not to lose track of, say, when we are
looking at a line that was added in the previous iteration of a patch
series but the new iteration adds a slightly different version: the
obsolete change will be dimmed, the current version of the patch will be
bold.
At least this developer has a much easier time reading the range-diffs
that way.

When displaying a diff of diffs, it is possible that there is an outer
`+` before a context line. That happens when the context changed between
old and new commit. When that context line starts with a tab (after the
space that marks it as context line), our diff machinery spits out a
white-space error (space before tab), but in this case, that is
incorrect.
Rather than adding a specific whitespace flag that specifically ignores
the first space in the output (and might miss other problems with the
white-space warnings), let's just skip handling white-space errors in
dual color mode to begin with.

Arguably the most important part of `git range-diff`'s output is the
list of commits in the two branches, together with their relationships.
For that reason, tbdiff introduced color-coding that is pretty

Apart from renaming `tbdiff` to `range-diff`, only one test case needed

The underlying reason it had to be adjusted is that diff generation is
sometimes ambiguous. In this case, a comment line and an empty line are
added, but it is ambiguous whether they were added after the existing
empty line, or whether an empty line and the comment line are added
*before* the existing empty line. And apparently xdiff picks a different

Just like tbdiff, we now show the diff between matching patches. This is
a "diff of two diffs", so it can be a bit daunting to read for the
beginner.
An alternative would be to display an interdiff, i.e. the hypothetical
diff which is the result of first reverting the old diff and then
applying the new diff.
Especially when rebasing frequently, an interdiff is often not feasible,
though: if the old diff cannot be applied in reverse (due to a moving
upstream), an interdiff can simply not be inferred.
This commit brings `range-diff` closer to feature parity with regard
to tbdiff.
To make `git range-diff` respect e.g. color.diff.* settings, we have
to adjust git_branch_config() accordingly.
Note: while we now parse diff options such as --color, the effect is not
yet the same as in tbdiff, where also the commit pairs would be colored.
This is left for a later commit.
Note also: while tbdiff accepts the `--no-patches` option to suppress
these diffs between patches, we prefer the `-s` (or `--no-patch`) option
that is automatically supported via our use of diff_opt_parse().
And finally note: to support diff options, we have to call
`parse_options()` such that it keeps unknown options, and then loop over
those and let `diff_opt_parse()` handle them. After that loop, we have
to call `parse_options()` again, to make sure that no unknown options
are left.

At this stage, `git range-diff` can determine corresponding commits

implementation of the linear assignment algorithm.
The core of this patch is a straight port of the ideas of tbdiff, the
apparently dormant project at https://github.com/trast/tbdiff.
The output does not at all match `tbdiff`'s output yet, as this patch
really concentrates on getting the patch matching part right.
Note: due to differences in the diff algorithm (`tbdiff` uses the Python
module `difflib`, Git uses its xdiff fork), the cost matrix calculated
by `range-diff` is different (but very similar) to the one calculated
by `tbdiff`. Therefore, it is possible that they find different matching
commits in corner cases (e.g. when a patch was split into two patches of

The t5552 test script uses GIT_TRACE_PACKET to monitor what
git-fetch sends and receives. However, because we're
accessing a local repository, the child upload-pack also
sends trace output to the same file.
On Linux, this works out OK. We open the trace file with
O_APPEND, so all writes are atomically positioned at the end
of the file. No data can be overwritten or omitted. And
since we prepare our small writes in a strbuf and write them
with a single write(), we should see each line as an atomic
unit. The order of lines between the two processes is
undefined, but the test script greps only for "fetch>" or
"fetch<" lines. So under Linux, the test results are
deterministic.
The test fails intermittently on Windows, however,
reportedly even overwriting bits of the output file (i.e.,
O_APPEND does not seem to give us an atomic position+write).
Since the test only cares about the trace output from fetch,
we can just disable the output from upload-pack. That
doesn't solve the greater question of O_APPEND/trace issues
under Windows, but it easily fixes the flakiness from this
test.

When gpg-interface API unified support for signature verification
codepaths for signed tags and signed commits in mid 2015 at around
v2.6.0-rc0~114, we accidentally loosened the GPG signature
verification.
Before that change, signed commits were verified by looking for
"G"ood signature from GPG, while ignoring the exit status of "gpg
--verify" process, while signed tags were verified by simply passing
the exit status of "gpg --verify" through. The unified code we
currently have ignores the exit status of "gpg --verify" and returns
successful verification when the signature matches an unexpired key
regardless of the trust placed on the key (i.e. in addition to "G"ood
ones, we accept "U"ntrusted ones).
Make these commands signal failure with their exit status when
underlying "gpg --verify" (or the custom command specified by
"gpg.program" configuration variable) does so. This essentially
changes their behaviour in a backward incompatible way to reject
signatures that have been made with untrusted keys even if they
correctly verify, as that is how "gpg --verify" behaves.
Note that the code still overrides a zero exit status obtained from
"gpg" (or gpg.program) if the output does not say the signature is
good or computes correctly but made with untrusted keys, to catch
a poorly written wrapper around "gpg" the user may give us.
We could exclude "U"ntrusted support from this fallback code, but
that would be making two backward incompatible changes in a single
commit, so let's avoid that for now. A follow-up change could do so
if desired.

The idea of `--exec` is to append an `exec` call after each `pick`.
Since the introduction of fixup!/squash! commits, this idea was extended
to apply to "pick, possibly followed by a fixup/squash chain", i.e. an
exec would not be inserted between a `pick` and any of its corresponding
`fixup` or `squash` lines.
The current implementation uses a dirty trick to achieve that: it
assumes that there are only pick/fixup/squash commands, and then
*inserts* the `exec` lines before any `pick` but the first, and appends
a final one.
With the todo lists generated by `git rebase --rebase-merges`, this
simple implementation shows its problems: it produces the exact wrong
thing when there are `label`, `reset` and `merge` commands.
Let's change the implementation to do exactly what we want: look for
`pick` lines, skip any fixup/squash chains, and then insert the `exec`
line. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Note: we take pains to insert *before* comment lines whenever possible,
as empty commits are represented by commented-out pick lines (and we
want to insert a preceding pick's exec line *before* such a line, not
afterward).
While at it, also add `exec` lines after `merge` commands, because they
are similar in spirit to `pick` commands: they add new commits.

The colorization is controlled with the config setting "color.remote".
Supported keywords are "error", "warning", "hint" and "success". They
are highlighted if they appear at the start of the line, which is
common in error messages, eg.
ERROR: commit is missing Change-Id
The Git push process itself prints lots of non-actionable messages
(eg. bandwidth statistics, object counters for different phases of the
process). This obscures actionable error messages that servers may
send back. Highlighting keywords in the sideband draws more attention
to those messages.
The background for this change is that Gerrit does server-side
processing to create or update code reviews, and actionable error
messages (eg. missing Change-Id) must be communicated back to the user
during the push. User research has shown that new users have trouble
seeing these messages.
The highlighting is done on the client rather than server side, so
servers don't have to grow capabilities to understand terminal escape
codes and terminal state. It also consistent with the current state
where Git is control of the local display (eg. prefixing messages with
"remote: ").
The highlighting can be configured using color.remote.<KEYWORD>
configuration settings. Since the keys are matched case insensitively,
we match the keywords case insensitively too.
Finally, this solution is backwards compatible: many servers already
prefix their messages with "error", and they will benefit from this
change without requiring a server update. By contrast, a server-side
solution would likely require plumbing the TERM variable through the
git protocol, so it would require changes to both server and client.

The bug was noticed when writing the previous patch; a fix for this bug
is not easy though: If we choose to ignore the case of the subsection
(and revert most of the code of the previous patch, just keeping
s/strncasecmp/strcmp/), then we'd introduce new sections using the
new syntax, such that
--------
[section.subsection]
key = value1
--------
git config section.Subsection.key value2
would result in
--------
[section.subsection]
key = value1
[section.Subsection]
key = value2
--------
which is even more confusing. A proper fix would replace the first
occurrence of 'key'. As the syntax is deprecated, let's prefer to not
spend time on fixing the behavior and just document it instead.

A user reported a submodule issue regarding a section mix-up,
but it could be boiled down to the following test case:
$ git init test && cd test
$ git config foo."Bar".key test
$ git config foo."bar".key test
$ tail -n 3 .git/config
[foo "Bar"]
key = test
key = test
Sub sections are case sensitive and we have a test for correctly reading
them. However we do not have a test for writing out config correctly with
case sensitive subsection names, which is why this went unnoticed in
6ae996f2ac (git_config_set: make use of the config parser's event
stream, 2018-04-09)
Unfortunately we have to make a distinction between old style configuration
that looks like
[foo.Bar]
key = test
and the new quoted style as seen above. The old style is documented as
case-agnostic, hence we need to keep 'strncasecmp'; although the
resulting setting for the old style config differs from the configuration.
That will be fixed in a follow up patch.

test -e, test -s, etc. do not provide nice error messages when we hit
test failures, so use the test_* helper functions from
test-lib-functions.sh.
Also, add test_path_exists() to test-lib-function.sh while at it, so
that we don't need to worry whether submodule/.git is a file or a
directory. It currently is a file with contents of the form
gitdir: ../.git/modules/submodule
but it could be changed in the future to be a directory; this test
only really cares that it exists.

When a git command is on the left side of a pipe, the pipe will swallow
its exit status, preventing us from detecting failures in said commands.
Restructure the tests to put the output in a temporary file to avoid
this problem.

We can get rid of some quoted tabs and make a few tests slightly easier
to read and edit by just asking for the names of the files modified,
since that's all these tests were interested in anyway.

A test making use of test_must_fail was failing like this:
fatal: ambiguous argument '|': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
when the intent was to verify that a specific string was not found
in the output of the git diff command, i.e. that grep returned
non-zero. Fix the test to do that.

The words "save" and "safe" are both very wonderful words, each with
their own set of meanings. Let's not confuse them with one another save

The generated apache2 config fails with apache >= 2.4. The error log
states:
AH00136: Server MUST relinquish startup privileges before accepting
connections. Please ensure mod_unixd or other system security
module is loaded.
AH00016: Configuration Failed
Fix this by loading the unixd module. This works with older httpd as
well, so no IfVersion conditional is needed. (Tested with httpd-2.2.15
on CentOS-6.)
