Johannes Sixt c024beb56d run_command: report failure to execute the program, but optionally don't
In the case where a program was not found, it was still the task of the
caller to report an error to the user. Usually, this is an interesting case
but only few callers actually reported a specific error (though many call
sites report a generic error message regardless of the cause).

With this change the error is reported by run_command, but since there is
one call site in git.c that does not want that, an option is added to
struct child_process, which is used to turn the error off.

Johannes Sixt 0ac77ec315 run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes
The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious
errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the
burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error
messages.

If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent
example is this:

   $ git upload-pack . | :
   fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack'

In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the
git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to
report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the
syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early.

With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the
failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the
above example the error is now to the point:

   $ git upload-pack . | :
   error: git-upload-pack died of signal

Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with
a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked
program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites
nevertheless write a generic error message.)

There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where
run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This
special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to
ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c
expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully
decoded the return value still check for this condition.

Johannes Sixt 5709e0363a run_command: return exit code as positive value
As a general guideline, functions in git's code return zero to indicate
success and negative values to indicate failure. The run_command family of
functions followed this guideline. But there are actually two different
kinds of failure:

- failures of system calls;

- non-zero exit code of the program that was run.

Usually, a non-zero exit code of the program is a failure and means a
failure to the caller. Except that sometimes it does not. For example, the
exit code of merge programs (e.g. external merge drivers) conveys
information about how the merge failed, and not all exit calls are
actually failures.

Furthermore, the return value of run_command is sometimes used as exit
code by the caller.

This change arranges that the exit code of the program is returned as a
positive value, which can now be regarded as the "result" of the function.
System call failures continue to be reported as negative values.

Johannes Sixt 47e3de0e79 MinGW: truncate exit()'s argument to lowest 8 bits
For some reason, MinGW's bash cannot reliably detect failure of the child
process if a negative value is passed to exit(). This fixes it by
truncating the exit code in all calls of exit().

This issue was worked around in run_builtin() of git.c (2488df84 builtin
run_command: do not exit with -1, 2007-11-15). This workaround is no longer
necessary and is reverted.

Brandon Casey 6167c13657 git.c: avoid allocating one-too-many elements for new argv array
When creating a new argv array from a configured alias and the supplied
command line arguments, the new argv was allocated with one element too
many.  Since the first element of the original argv array is skipped when
copying it to the new_argv, the number of elements that are allocated
should be reduced by one.  'count' is the number of elements that new_argv
contains, and *argcp is the number of elements in the original argv array.
So the total allocation (including the terminating NULL entry) for the
new_argv array should be:

  count + (*argcp - 1) + 1

Also, the explicit assignment of the NULL terminating entry can be avoided
by just copying it over from the original argv array.

Christian Couder 1bf072e366 bisect--helper: implement "git bisect--helper"
This patch implements a new "git bisect--helper" builtin plumbing
command that will be used to migrate "git-bisect.sh" to C.

We start by implementing only the "--next-vars" option that will
read bisect refs from "refs/bisect/", and then compute the next
bisect step, and output shell variables ready to be eval'ed by
the shell.

At this step, "git bisect--helper" ignores the paths that may
have been put in "$GIT_DIR/BISECT_NAMES". This will be fixed in a
later patch.

Jeff King d8e96fd86d git: use run_command() to execute dashed externals
We used to simply try calling execvp(); if it succeeded, then we were done
and the new program was running. If it didn't, then we knew that it wasn't
a valid command.

Unfortunately, this interacted badly with the new pager handling. Now that
git remains the parent process and the pager is spawned, git has to hang
around until the pager is finished. We install an atexit handler to do
this, but that handler never gets called if we successfully run execvp.

You could see this behavior by running any dashed external using a pager
(e.g., "git -p stash list"). The command finishes running, but the pager
is still going. In the case of less, it then gets an error reading from
the terminal and exits, potentially leaving the terminal in a broken state
(and not showing the output).

This patch just uses run_command() to try running the dashed external. The
parent git process then waits for the external process to complete and
then handles the pager cleanup as it would for an internal command.

Adeodato Simó a907e1b6ec git.c: make autocorrected aliases work
help_unknown_cmd() is able to autocorrect a command to an alias, and not
only to internal or external commands. However, main() was not passing the
autocorrected command through handle_alias(), hence it failed if it was an
alias.

This commit makes the autocorrected command go through handle_alias(), once
handle_internal_command() and execv_dashed_external() have been tried. Since
this is done twice in main() now, moved that logic to a new run_argv()
function.

Also, print the same "Expansion of alias 'x' failed" message when the alias
was autocorrected, rather than a generic "Failed to run command 'x'".

Johannes Schindelin 8af84dadb1 git wrapper: DWIM mistyped commands
This patch introduces a modified Damerau-Levenshtein algorithm into
Git's code base, and uses it with the following penalties to show some
similar commands when an unknown command was encountered:

	swap = 0, insertion = 1, substitution = 2, deletion = 4

A typical output would now look like this:

	$ git sm
	git: 'sm' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.

	Did you mean one of these?
		am
		rm

The cut-off is at similarity rating 6, which was empirically determined
to give sensible results.

As a convenience, if there is only one candidate, Git continues under
the assumption that the user mistyped it.  Example:

	$ git reabse
	WARNING: You called a Git program named 'reabse', which does
	not exist.
	Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'rebase'

We will need the command invocation path in system_path(). This path was
passed to setup_path(), but  system_path() can be called earlier, for
example via:

    main
      commit_pager_choice
        setup_pager
          git_config
            git_etc_gitconfig
              system_path

Therefore, we introduce git_set_argv0_path() and call it as soon as
possible.

Junio C Hamano 107623239a Revert "make git-status use a pager"
This reverts commit c8af1de9cf.

The change was immensely unpopular, and poeple who would really want to
page can use pager.status configuration.

Jeff King 4e10738a93 Allow per-command pager config
There is great debate over whether some commands should set
up a pager automatically. This patch allows individuals to
set their own pager preferences for each command, overriding
the default. For example, to disable the pager for git
status:

  git config pager.status false

If "--pager" or "--no-pager" is specified on the command
line, it takes precedence over the config option.

There are two caveats:

  - you can turn on the pager for plumbing commands.
    Combined with "core.pager = always", this will probably
    break a lot of things. Don't do it.

  - This only works for builtin commands. The reason is
    somewhat complex:

    Calling git_config before we do setup_git_directory
    has bad side effects, because it wants to know where
    the git_dir is to find ".git/config". Unfortunately,
    we cannot call setup_git_directory indiscriminately,
    because some builtins (like "init") break if we do.

    For builtins, this is OK, since we can just wait until
    after we call setup_git_directory. But for aliases, we
    don't know until we expand (recursively) which command
    we're doing. This should not be a huge problem for
    aliases, which can simply use "--pager" or "--no-pager"
    in the alias as appropriate.

    For external commands, however, we don't know we even
    have an external command until we exec it, and by then
    it is too late to check the config.

    An alternative approach would be to have a config mode
    where we don't bother looking at .git/config, but only
    at the user and system config files. This would make the
    behavior consistent across builtins, aliases, and
    external commands, at the cost of not allowing per-repo
    pager config for at all.

Miklos Vajna 0989fe9623 Move split_cmdline() to alias.c
split_cmdline() is currently used for aliases only, but later it can be
useful for other builtins as well. Move it to alias.c for now,
indicating that originally it's for aliases, but we'll have it in libgit
this way.
