Add a testcase showing spurious rename/rename(1to2) conflicts occurring
due to directory rename detection.
Also add a pair of testcases dealing with moving directory hierarchies
around that were suggested by Stefan Beller as "food for thought" during
his review of an earlier patch series, but which actually uncovered a
bug. Round things out with a test that is a cross between the two
testcases that showed existing bugs in order to make sure we aren't
merely addressing problems in isolation but in general.

In d8193743e0 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro
was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then

is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.
Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop.

When we call BUG(), we signal via SIGABRT that something bad happened,
dumping cores if so configured. In some setups these coredumps are
redirected to some central place such as /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern,
which is a good thing.
However, when we try to verify in our test suite that bugs are caught in
certain code paths, we do *not* want to clutter such a central place
with unnecessary coredumps.
So let's special-case the test helpers (which we use to verify such code
paths) so that the BUG() calls will *not* call abort() but exit with a
special-purpose exit code instead.

In the context of the new --rebase-merges mode, which was designed
specifically to allow for changing the existing branch topology
liberally, a user may want to extract commits into a completely fresh
branch that starts with a newly-created root commit.
This is now possible by inserting the command `reset [new root]` before
`pick`ing the commit that wants to become a root commit. Example:
reset [new root]
pick 012345 a commit that is about to become a root commit
pick 234567 this commit will have the previous one as parent
This does not conflict with other uses of the `reset` command because
`[new root]` is not (part of) a valid ref name: both the opening bracket
as well as the space are illegal in ref names.

In this developer's earlier attempt to accelerate interactive rebases by
converting large parts from Unix shell script into portable, performant
C, the --root handling was specifically excluded (to simplify the task a
little bit; it still took over a year to get that reduced set of patches
into Git proper).
This patch ties up that loose end: now only --preserve-merges uses the
slow Unix shell script implementation to perform the interactive rebase.
As the rebase--helper reports progress to stderr (unlike the scripted
interactive rebase, which reports it to stdout, of all places), we have
to adjust a couple of tests that did not expect that for `git rebase -i
--root`.
This patch fixes -- at long last! -- the really old bug reported in
6a6bc5bdc4 (add tests for rebasing root, 2013-06-06) that rebasing with
--root *always* rewrote the root commit, even if there were no changes.
The bug still persists in --preserve-merges mode, of course, but that
mode will be deprecated as soon as the new --rebase-merges mode
stabilizes, anyway.

When bisecting a performance regression using a config file,
`./bisect_regression --config my_perf.conf` for example, the
config file can contain Codespeed configuration which would
instruct the 'aggregate.perl' script called by the 'run'
script to output results in the Codespeed format and maybe
to try to send this output to a Codespeed server.
This is unfortunate because the 'bisect_run_script' relies

performance, so let's disable Codespeed output and sending

If you do something like
- git add .
- git status
- git commit
- git show (or git diff HEAD)
one would expect to have analogous output from git status and git show
(or similar diff-related programs). This is generally not the case, as
git status has hard coded values for diff related options.
With this commit the hard coded settings are dropped from the status
command in favour for values provided by git_diff_ui_config.
What follows are some remarks on the concrete options which were hard
coded in git status:
diffopt.detect_rename
Since the very beginning of git status in a3e870f2e2 ("Add "commit"
helper script", 2005-05-30), git status always used rename detection,
whereas with commands like show and log one had to activate it with a
command line option. After 5404c116aa ("diff: activate diff.renames by
default", 2016-02-25) the default behaves the same by coincidence, but
changing diff.renames to other values can break the consistency between
git status and other commands again. With this commit one control the
same default behaviour with diff.renames.
diffopt.rename_limit
Similarly one has the option diff.renamelimit to adjust this limit for
all commands but git status. With this commit git status will also honor
those.
diffopt.break_opt
Unlike the other two options this cannot be configured by a
configuration option yet. This commit will also change the default
behaviour to not use break rewrites. But as rename detection is most
likely on, this is dangerous to be activated anyway as one can see
here:

During a series of fixup/squash commands, the interactive rebase builds
up a commit message with comments. This will be presented to the user in
the editor if at least one of those commands was a `squash`.
In any case, the commit message will be cleaned up eventually, removing
all those intermediate comments, in the final step of such a
fixup/squash chain.
However, if the last fixup/squash command in such a chain fails with
merge conflicts, and if the user then decides to skip it (or resolve it
to a clean worktree and then continue the rebase), the current code
fails to clean up the commit message.
This commit fixes that behavior.
The fix is quite a bit more involved than meets the eye because it is
not only about the question whether we are `git rebase --skip`ing a
fixup or squash. It is also about removing the skipped fixup/squash's
commit message from the accumulated commit message. And it is also about
the question whether we should let the user edit the final commit
message or not ("Was there a squash in the chain *that was not
skipped*?").
For example, in this case we will want to fix the commit message, but
not open it in an editor:
pick <- succeeds
fixup <- succeeds
squash <- fails, will be skipped
This is where the newly-introduced `current-fixups` file comes in real
handy. A quick look and we can determine whether there was a non-skipped
squash. We only need to make sure to keep it up to date with respect to
skipped fixup/squash commands. As a bonus, we can even avoid committing
unnecessarily, e.g. when there was only one fixup, and it failed, and
was skipped.
To fix only the bug where the final commit message was not cleaned up
properly, but without fixing the rest, would have been more complicated
than fixing it all in one go, hence this commit lumps together more than
a single concern.
For the same reason, this commit also adds a bit more to the existing
test case for the regression we just fixed.
The diff is best viewed with --color-moved.

The grafts feature was a convenient way to "stitch together" ancient
history to the fresh start of linux.git.
Its implementation is, however, not up to Git's standards, as there are
too many ways where it can lead to surprising and unwelcome behavior.
For example, when pushing from a repository with active grafts, it is
possible to miss commits that have been "grafted out", resulting in a
broken state on the other side.
Also, the grafts feature is limited to "rewriting" commits' list of
parents, it cannot replace anything else.
The much younger feature implemented as `git replace` set out to remedy
those limitations and dangerous bugs.
Seeing as `git replace` is pretty mature by now (since 4228e8bc98
(replace: add --graft option, 2014-07-19) it can perform the graft
file's duties), it is time to deprecate support for the graft file, and
to retire it eventually.

Currently 'git worktree add <path>' creates a new branch named after the
basename of the path by default. If a branch with that name already
exists, the command refuses to do anything, unless the '--force' option
is given.
However we can do a little better than that, and check the branch out if
it is not checked out anywhere else. This will help users who just want
to check an existing branch out into a new worktree, and save a few
keystrokes.
As the current behaviour is to simply 'die()' when a branch with the name
of the basename of the path already exists, there are no backwards
compatibility worries here.
We will still 'die()' if the branch is checked out in another worktree,
unless the --force flag is passed.

When running `git rebase --rebase-merges` non-interactively with an
ancestor of HEAD as <upstream> (or leaving the todo list unmodified),
we would ideally recreate the exact same commits as before the rebase.
However, if there are commits in the commit range <upstream>.. that do not
have <upstream> as direct ancestor (i.e. if `git log <upstream>..` would
show commits that are omitted by `git log --ancestry-path <upstream>..`),
this is currently not the case: we would turn them into commits that have
<upstream> as direct ancestor.
Let's illustrate that with a diagram:
C
/ \
A - B - E - F
\ /
D
Currently, after running `git rebase -i --rebase-merges B`, the new branch
structure would be (pay particular attention to the commit `D`):
--- C' --
/ \
A - B ------ E' - F'
\ /
D'
This is not really preserving the branch topology from before! The
reason is that the commit `D` does not have `B` as ancestor, and
therefore it gets rebased onto `B`.
This is unintuitive behavior. Even worse, when recreating branch
structure, most use cases would appear to want cousins *not* to be
rebased onto the new base commit. For example, Git for Windows (the
heaviest user of the Git garden shears, which served as the blueprint
for --rebase-merges) frequently merges branches from `next` early, and
these branches certainly do *not* want to be rebased. In the example
above, the desired outcome would look like this:
--- C' --

Let's introduce the term "cousins" for such commits ("D" in the
example), and let's not rebase them by default. For hypothetical
use cases where cousins *do* need to be rebased, `git rebase
--rebase=merges=rebase-cousins` needs to be used.

The `git merge` command does not allow merging commits that are already
reachable from HEAD: `git merge HEAD^`, for example, will report that we
are already up to date and not change a thing.
In an interactive rebase, such a merge could occur previously, e.g. when
competing (or slightly modified) versions of a patch series were applied
upstream, and the user had to `git rebase --skip` all of the local
commits, and the topic branch becomes "empty" as a consequence.
Let's teach the todo command `merge` to behave the same as `git merge`.
Seeing as it requires some low-level trickery to create such merges with
Git's commands in the first place, we do not even have to bother to
introduce an option to force `merge` to create such merge commits.

In the previous patches, we implemented the basic functionality of the
`git rebase -i --rebase-merges` command, in particular the `merge`
command to create merge commits in the sequencer.
The interactive rebase is a lot more these days, though, than a simple
cherry-pick in a loop. For example, it calls the post-rewrite hook (if
any) after rebasing with a mapping of the old->new commits.
This patch implements the post-rewrite handling for the `merge` command
we just introduced. The other commands that were added recently (`label`
and `reset`) do not create new commits, therefore post-rewrite hooks do
not need to handle them.

Once upon a time, this here developer thought: wouldn't it be nice if,
say, Git for Windows' patches on top of core Git could be represented as
a thicket of branches, and be rebased on top of core Git in order to
maintain a cherry-pick'able set of patch series?
The original attempt to answer this was: git rebase --preserve-merges.
However, that experiment was never intended as an interactive option,
and it only piggy-backed on git rebase --interactive because that
command's implementation looked already very, very familiar: it was
designed by the same person who designed --preserve-merges: yours truly.
Some time later, some other developer (I am looking at you, Andreas!
;-)) decided that it would be a good idea to allow --preserve-merges to
be combined with --interactive (with caveats!) and the Git maintainer
(well, the interim Git maintainer during Junio's absence, that is)
agreed, and that is when the glamor of the --preserve-merges design
started to fall apart rather quickly and unglamorously.
The reason? In --preserve-merges mode, the parents of a merge commit (or
for that matter, of *any* commit) were not stated explicitly, but were
*implied* by the commit name passed to the `pick` command.
This made it impossible, for example, to reorder commits. Not to mention
to move commits between branches or, deity forbid, to split topic branches
into two.
Alas, these shortcomings also prevented that mode (whose original
purpose was to serve Git for Windows' needs, with the additional hope
that it may be useful to others, too) from serving Git for Windows'
needs.
Five years later, when it became really untenable to have one unwieldy,
big hodge-podge patch series of partly related, partly unrelated patches
in Git for Windows that was rebased onto core Git's tags from time to
time (earning the undeserved wrath of the developer of the ill-fated
git-remote-hg series that first obsoleted Git for Windows' competing
approach, only to be abandoned without maintainer later) was really
untenable, the "Git garden shears" were born [*1*/*2*]: a script,
piggy-backing on top of the interactive rebase, that would first
determine the branch topology of the patches to be rebased, create a
pseudo todo list for further editing, transform the result into a real
todo list (making heavy use of the `exec` command to "implement" the
missing todo list commands) and finally recreate the patch series on
top of the new base commit.
That was in 2013. And it took about three weeks to come up with the
design and implement it as an out-of-tree script. Needless to say, the
implementation needed quite a few years to stabilize, all the while the
design itself proved itself sound.
With this patch, the goodness of the Git garden shears comes to `git
rebase -i` itself. Passing the `--rebase-merges` option will generate
a todo list that can be understood readily, and where it is obvious
how to reorder commits. New branches can be introduced by inserting
`label` commands and calling `merge <label>`. And once this mode will
have become stable and universally accepted, we can deprecate the design
mistake that was `--preserve-merges`.

When passing an option '--foo' that it does not recognize, the
aggregate.perl script should die with an helpful error message
like:
Unknown option: foo

--codespeed * Format output for Codespeed
--reponame <str> * Send given reponame to codespeed
--sort-by <str> * Sort output (only "regression" \

rather than:
fatal: Needed a single revision
rev-parse --verify --foo: command returned error: 128
To implement that let's use Getopt::Long for option parsing
instead of the current manual and sloppy parsing. This should
save some code and make option parsing simpler, tighter and
safer.
This will avoid something like 'foo--sort-by=regression' to
be handled as if '--sort-by=regression' had been used, for
example.
As Getopt::Long eats '--' at the end of options, this changes
a bit the way '--' is handled as we can now have '--' both
after the options and before the scripts.

previous line differently. Traditionally, we use CYAN for lines that
are less interesting than others (e.g. hunk header), so go with that.
The command line option '--color-lines' will trigger the coloring of
repeated lines, and the config option 'color.blame.colorLines' is

that repeated lines are colored. A later patch will introduce a config

This is a follow-up to a6c786fce8 (Mark http-fetch without -a as
deprecated, 2011-08-23). For more than six years, we have been warning
when `-a` is not provided, and the documentation has been saying that
`-a` will become the default.
It is a bit unclear what "default" means here. There is no such thing as
`http-fetch --no-a`. But according to my searches, no-one has been
asking on the mailing list how they should silence the warning and
prepare for overriding the flipped default. So let's assume that
everybody is happy with `-a`. They should be, since not using it may
break the repo in such a way that Git itself is unable to fix it.
Always behave as if `-a` was given. Since `-a` implies `-c` (get commit
objects) and `-t` (get trees), all three options are now unnecessary.
Document all of these as historical artefacts that have no effect.
Leave no-op code for handling these options in http-fetch.c. The
options-handling is currently rather loose. If someone tightens it, we
will not want these ignored options to accidentally turn into hard
errors.
Since `-a` was the only safe and sane usage and we have been pushing
people towards it for a long time, refrain from warning when it is used
"unnecessarily" now. Similarly, do not add anything scary-looking to the
man-page about how it will be removed in the future. We can always do so
later. (It is not like we are in desperate need of freeing up

As of this commit, the canonical way to retreive an ANSI-compatible
color escape sequence from a configuration file is with the
`--get-color` action.
This is to allow Git to "fall back" on a default value for the color
should the given section not exist in the specified configuration(s).
With the addition of `--default`, this is no longer needed since:
$ git config --default red --type=color core.section
will be have exactly as:
$ git config --get-color core.section red
For consistency, let's introduce `--type=color` and encourage its use
with `--default` together over `--get-color` alone.

For some use cases, callers of the `git-config(1)` builtin would like to
fallback to default values when the variable asked for does not exist.
In addition, users would like to use existing type specifiers to ensure
that values are parsed correctly when they do exist in the
configuration.
For example, to fetch a value without a type specifier and fallback to
`$fallback`, the following is required:
$ git config core.foo || echo "$fallback"
This is fine for most values, but can be tricky for difficult-to-express
`$fallback`'s, like ANSI color codes.
This motivates `--get-color`, which is a one-off exception to the normal
type specifier rules wherein a user specifies both the configuration
variable and an optional fallback. Both are formatted according to their
type specifier, which eases the burden on the user to ensure that values
are correctly formatted.
This commit (and those following it in this series) aim to eventually
replace `--get-color` with a consistent alternative. By introducing
`--default`, we allow the `--get-color` action to be promoted to a
`--type=color` type specifier, retaining the "fallback" behavior via the
`--default` flag introduced in this commit.
For example, we aim to replace:
$ git config --get-color variable [default] [...]
with:
$ git config --default default --type=color variable [...]
Values filled by `--default` behave exactly as if they were present in
the affected configuration file; they will be parsed by type specifiers
without the knowledge that they are not themselves present in the
configuration.
Specifically, this means that the following will work:
$ git config --int --default 1M does.not.exist
1048576
In subsequent commits, we will offer `--type=color`, which (in
conjunction with `--default`) will be sufficient to replace
`--get-color`.

A few commands that parse --expire=<time> command line option behave
sillily when given nonsense input. For example
$ git prune --no-expire
Segmentation falut
$ git prune --expire=npw; echo $?
129
Both come from parse_opt_expiry_date_cb().
The former is because the function is not prepared to see arg==NULL
(for "--no-expire", it is a norm; "--expire" at the end of the
command line could be made to pass NULL, if it is told that the
argument is optional, but we don't so we do not have to worry about
that case).
The latter is because it does not check the value returned from the
underlying parse_expiry_date().
This seems to be a recent regression introduced while we attempted
to avoid spewing the entire usage message when given a correct
option but with an invalid value at 3bb0923f ("parse-options: do not
show usage upon invalid option value", 2018-03-22). Before that, we
didn't fail silently but showed a full usage help (which arguably is
not all that better).
Also catch this error early when "git gc --prune=<expiration>" is
misspelled by doing a dummy parsing before the main body of "gc"
that is time consuming even begins. Otherwise, we'd spend time to
pack objects and then later have "git prune" first notice the error.
Aborting "gc" in the middle that way is not harmful but is ugly and
can be avoided.

7199203937 (object_array: add and use `object_array_pop()`, 2017-09-23)
noted that the pattern `object = array.objects[--array.nr].item` could
be abstracted as `object = object_array_pop(&array)`.
Unfortunately, one of the conversions was horribly wrong. Between
grabbing the last object (i.e., peeking at it) and decreasing the object
count, the original code would sometimes return early. The updated code
on the other hand, will always pop the last element, then maybe do the
early return without doing anything with the object.
The end result is that merge commits where all the parents have still
not been exported will simply be dropped, meaning that they will be
completely missing from the exported data.
Re-add a commit when it is not yet time to handle it. An alternative
that was considered was to peek-then-pop. That carries some risk with it
since the peeking and popping need to act on the same object, in a
concerted fashion.
Add a test that would have caught this.

`git config` has long allowed the ability for callers to provide a 'type
specifier', which instructs `git config` to (1) ensure that incoming
values can be interpreted as that type, and (2) that outgoing values are
canonicalized under that type.
In another series, we propose to extend this functionality with
`--type=color` and `--default` to replace `--get-color`.
However, we traditionally use `--color` to mean "colorize this output",
instead of "this value should be treated as a color".
Currently, `git config` does not support this kind of colorization, but
we should be careful to avoid squatting on this option too soon, so that
`git config` can support `--color` (in the traditional sense) in the
future, if that is desired.
In this patch, we support `--type=<int|bool|bool-or-int|...>` in
addition to `--int`, `--bool`, and etc. This allows the aforementioned
upcoming patch to support querying a color value with a default via
`--type=color --default=...`, without squandering `--color`.
We retain the historic behavior of complaining when multiple,
legacy-style `--<type>` flags are given, as well as extend this to
conflicting new-style `--type=<type>` flags. `--int --type=int` (and its
commutative pair) does not complain, but `--bool --type=int` (and its
commutative pair) does.

If any pathname contains backslash, double quote, tab, newline, or any
control characters, 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' will enclose
that pathname in double quotes and escape those special characters
using C-style one-character escape sequences or \nnn octal values.
This prevents those files from being listed during git-aware path
completion, because due to the quoting they will never match the
current word to be completed.
Extend __git_index_files()'s 'awk' script to remove all that quoting
and escaping from unique path components, so even paths containing
(almost all) such special characters can be completed.
Paths containing newline characters are still an issue, though. We
use newlines as separator character when filling the COMPREPLY array,
so a path with one or more newline will end up split to two or more
elements in COMPREPLY, basically breaking completion. There is
nothing we can do about it without a significant performance hit, so
let's just ignore such paths for now. As far as paths with newlines
are concerned, this isn't any different from the previous behavior,
because those paths were always omitted, though in the past they were
omitted because due to the quoting they didn't match the current word
to be completed. Anyway, Bash's own filename completion (Meta-/) can
complete even those paths, if need be.
Note:
- We don't dequote path components right away as they are coming in,
because then we would have to dequote each directory name
repeatedly, as many times as it appears in the input, i.e. as many
times as the number of listed paths it contains. Instead, we
dequote them at the end, as we print unique path components.
- Even when a directory name itself does not contain any special
characters, it will still be quoted if any of its trailing path
components do. If a directory contains paths both with and
without special characters, then the name of that directory will
appear both quoted and unquoted in the output of 'git ls-files'
and 'git diff-index'. Consequently, we will add such a directory
name to the deduplicating associative array twice: once quoted and
once unquoted.
This means that we have to be careful after dequoting a directory
name, and only print it if we haven't seen the same directory name
unquoted.
- It would be wonderful if we could just pass '-z' to those git
commands to output \0-separated unquoted paths, and use \0 as
record separator in the 'awk' script processing their output...
this patch would be so much simpler, almost trivial even.
Unfortunately, however, POSIX and most 'awk' implementations don't
support \0 as record separator (GNU awk does support it).
- This patch makes the earlier change to list paths with
'core.quotePath=false' basically redundant, because this could
decode any \nnn-escaped non-ASCII character just fine, as well.
However, I suspect that 'git ls-files' can deal with those
non-ASCII characters faster than this updated 'awk' script; just
in case someone is burdened with tons of pathnames containing
non-ASCII characters.

The order or possible completion words in the COMPREPLY array doesn't
actually matter, as long as all the right words are in there, because
Bash will sort them anyway. Yet, our tests looking at the elements of
COMPREPLY always expect them to be in a specific order.
Now, this hasn't been an issue before, but the next patch is about to
optimize a bit more our git-aware path completion, and as a harmless
side effect the order of elements in COMPREPLY will change. Worse,
the order will be downright undefined, because after the next patch
path components will come directly from iterating through an
associative array in 'awk', and the order of iteration over the
elements in those arrays is undefined, and indeed different 'awk'
implementations produce different order. Consequently, we can't get
away with simply adjusting the expected results in the affected tests.
Modify the 'test_completion' helper function to sort both the expected
and the actual results, i.e. the elements in COMPREPLY, before
comparing them, so the tests using this helper function will work
regardless of the order of elements.
Note that this change still leaves a bunch of tests depending on the
order of elements in COMPREPLY, tests that focus on a specific helper
function and therefore don't use the 'test_completion' helper. I
would rather deal with those later, when (if ever) the need actually
arises, than create unnecessary code churn now.

During git-aware path completion, e.g. 'git rm dir/fil<TAB>', both
'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' list all paths in the given 'dir/'
matching certain criteria (cached, modified, untracked, etc.)
appropriate for the given git command, even paths whose names don't
begin with 'fil'. This comes with a considerable performance
penalty when the directory in question contains a lot of paths, but
the current word can be uniquely completed or when only a handful of
those paths match the current word.
Reduce the number of iterations in this codepath from the number of
paths to the number of matching paths by specifying an appropriate
globbing pattern to 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' to list only
paths that match the current word to be completed.
Note that both commands treat backslashes as escape characters in
their file arguments, e.g. to preserve the literal meaning of globbing
characters, so we have to double every backslash in the globbing
pattern. This is why one of the path completion tests specifically
checks the completion of a path containing a literal backslash
character (that test still fails, though, because both commands output
such paths enclosed in double quotes and the special characters
escaped; a later patch in this series will deal with those).
This speeds up path completion considerably when there are a lot of

Our git-aware path completion doesn't work when it has to complete a
word already containing quoted and/or backslash-escaped characters on
the command line. The root cause of the issue is that completion
functions see all words on the command line verbatim, i.e. including
all backslash, single and double quote characters that the shell would
eventually remove when executing the finished command. These
quoting/escaping characters cause different issues depending on which
path component of the word to be completed contains them:
- The quoting/escaping is in the prefix path component(s).
Let's suppose we have a directory called 'New Dir', containing two
untracked files 'file.c' and 'file.o', and we have a gitignore
rule ignoring object files. In this case all of these:
git add New\ Dir/<TAB>
git add "New Dir/<TAB>
git add 'New Dir/<TAB>
should uniquely complete 'file.c' right away, but Bash offers both
'file.c' and 'file.o' instead. The reason for this behavior is
that our completion script uses the prefix directory name like
'git -C "New\ Dir/" ls-files ...", i.e. with the backslash inside
double quotes. Git then tries to enter a directory called
'New\ Dir', which (most likely) fails because such a directory
doesn't exists. As a result our completion script doesn't list
any files, leaves the COMPREPLY array empty, which in turn causes
Bash to fall back to its simple filename completion and lists all
files in that directory, i.e. both 'file.c' and 'file.o'.
- The quoting/escaping is in the path component to be completed.
Let's suppose we have two untracked files 'New File.c' and
'New File.o', and we have a gitignore rule ignoring object files.
In this case all of these:
git add New\ Fi<TAB>
git add "New Fi<TAB>
git add 'New Fi<TAB>
should uniquely complete 'New File.c' right away, but Bash offers
both 'New File.c' and 'New File.o' instead. The reason for this
behavior is that our completion script uses this 'New\ Fi' or
'"New Fi' etc. word to filter matching paths, and of course none
of the potential filenames will match because of the included
backslash or double quote. The end result is the same as above:
the completion script doesn't list any files, Bash falls back to
its filename completion, which then lists the matching object file
as well.
Add the new helper function __git_dequote() [1], which removes (most
of[2]) the quoting and escaping from the word it gets as argument. To
minimize the overhead of calling this function, store its result in
the variable $dequoted_word, supposed to be declared local in the
caller; simply printing the result would require a command
substitution imposing the overhead of fork()ing a subshell. Use this
function in __git_complete_index_file() to dequote the current word,
i.e. the path, to be completed, to avoid the above described
quoting-related issues, thereby fixing two of the failing quoted path
completion tests.
[1] The bash-completion project already has a dequote() function,
which I hoped I could borrow to deal with this, but unfortunately
it doesn't work quite well for this purpose (perhaps that's why
even the bash-completion project only rarely uses it). The main
issue is that their dequote() is implemented as:
eval printf %s "$1" 2> /dev/null
where $1 would contain the word to be completed. While it's a
short and sweet one-liner, the use of 'eval' requires that $1 is a
syntactically valid string, which is not the case when quoting the
path like 'git add "New Dir/<TAB>'. This causes 'eval' to fail,
because it can't find the matching closing double quote, and the
function returns nothing. The result is totally broken behavior,
as if the current word were empty, and the completion script would
then list all files from the current directory. This is why one
of the quoted path completion tests specifically checks the
completion of a path with an opening but without a corresponding
closing double quote character. Furthermore, the 'eval' performs
all kinds of expansions, which may or may not be desired; I think
it's the latter. Finally, using this function would require a
command substitution.
[2] Bash understands the $'string' quoting as well, which "expands to
'string', with backslash-escaped characters replaced as specified
by the ANSI C standard" (quoted from Bash manpage). Since shell
metacharacters, field separators, globbing, etc. can all be easily
entered using standard shell escaping or quoting, this type of
quoting comes in handly when dealing with control characters that
are otherwise difficult both to "type" and to see on the command
line. Because of this difficulty I would assume that people do
avoid pathnames with such control characters anyway, so I didn't
bother implementing it. This function is already way too long as
it is.

Unless the user has 'core.quotePath=false' somewhere in the
configuration, both 'git ls-files' and 'git diff-index' will by
default quote any pathnames that contain bytes with values higher than
0x80, and escape those bytes as '\nnn' octal values. This prevents
completing paths when the current path component to be completed
contains any non-ASCII, most notably UTF-8, characters, because none
of the listed quoted paths will match the current word on the command
line.
Set 'core.quotePath=false' for those 'git ls-files' and 'git
diff-index' invocations, so they won't consider bytes higher than 0x80
as "unusual", and won't quote pathnames containing such characters.
Note that pathnames containing backslash, double quote, or control
characters will still be quoted; a later patch in this series will
deal with those.

A signed tag has a detached signature like this:

Our parser finds the _first_ line that appears to start a

pack-objects could be a big memory hog especially on large repos,
everybody knows that. The suggestion to stick a .keep file on the
giant base pack to avoid this problem is also known for a long time.
Recent patches add an option to do just this, but it has to be either
configured or activated manually. This patch lets `git gc --auto`
activate this mode automatically when it thinks `repack -ad` will use
a lot of memory and start affecting the system due to swapping or
flushing OS cache.
gc --auto decides to do this based on an estimation of pack-objects
memory usage, which is quite accurate at least for the heap part, and
whether that fits in half of system memory (the assumption here is for
desktop environment where there are many other applications running).
This mechanism only kicks in if gc.bigBasePackThreshold is not configured.
If it is, it is assumed that the user already knows what they want.

This adds a new repack mode that combines everything into a secondary
pack, leaving the largest pack alone.
This could help reduce memory pressure. On linux-2.6.git, valgrind
massif reports 1.6GB heap in "pack all" case, and 535MB in "pack
all except the base pack" case. We save roughly 1GB memory by
excluding the base pack.
This should also lower I/O because we don't have to rewrite a giant
pack every time (e.g. for linux-2.6.git that's a 1.4GB pack file)..
PS. The use of string_list here seems overkill, but we'll need it in
the next patch...

We allow to keep existing packs by having companion .keep files. This
is helpful when a pack is permanently kept. In the next patch, git-gc
just wants to keep a pack temporarily, for one pack-objects
run. git-gc can use --keep-pack for this use case.
A note about why the pack_keep field cannot be reused and
pack_keep_in_core has to be added. This is about the case when
--keep-pack is specified together with either --keep-unreachable or
--unpack-unreachable, but --honor-pack-keep is NOT specified.
In this case, we want to exclude objects from the packs specified on
command line, not from ones with .keep files. If only one bit flag is
used, we have to clear pack_keep on pack files with the .keep file.
But we can't make any assumption about unreachable objects in .keep
packs. If "pack_keep" field is false for .keep packs, we could
potentially pull lots of unreachable objects into the new pack, or
unpack them loose. The safer approach is ignore all packs with either
.keep file or --keep-pack.

It's very very rare that an uncompressed object is larger than 4GB
(partly because Git does not handle those large files very well to
begin with). Let's optimize it for the common case where object size
is smaller than this limit.
Shrink size field down to 31 bits and one overflow bit. If the size is
too large, we read it back from disk. As noted in the previous patch,
we need to return the delta size instead of canonical size when the
to-be-reused object entry type is a delta instead of a canonical one.
Add two compare helpers that can take advantage of the overflow
bit (e.g. if the file is 4GB+, chances are it's already larger than
core.bigFileThreshold and there's no point in comparing the actual
value).
Another note about oe_get_size_slow(). This function MUST be thread
safe because SIZE() macro is used inside try_delta() which may run in
parallel. Outside parallel code, no-contention locking should be dirt
cheap (or insignificant compared to i/o access anyway). To exercise
this code, it's best to run the test suite with something like
make test GIT_TEST_OE_SIZE=4
which forces this code on all objects larger than 3 bytes.

Instead of using 8 bytes (on 64 bit arch) to store a pointer to a
pack. Use an index instead since the number of packs should be
relatively small.
This limits the number of packs we can handle to 1k. Since we can't be
sure people can never run into the situation where they have more than
1k pack files. Provide a fall back route for it.
If we find out they have too many packs, the new in_pack_by_idx[]
array (which has at most 1k elements) will not be used. Instead we
allocate in_pack[] array that holds nr_objects elements. This is
similar to how the optional in_pack_pos field is handled.
The new simple test is just to make sure the too-many-packs code path
is at least executed. The true test is running
make test GIT_TEST_FULL_IN_PACK_ARRAY=1
to take advantage of other special case tests.

Git recognizes files encoded with ASCII or one of its supersets (e.g.
UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1) as text files. All other encodings are usually
interpreted as binary and consequently built-in Git text processing
tools (e.g. 'git diff') as well as most Git web front ends do not
visualize the content.
Add an attribute to tell Git what encoding the user has defined for a
given file. If the content is added to the index, then Git reencodes
the content to a canonical UTF-8 representation. On checkout Git will
reverse this operation.

Internally, we represent `git config`'s type specifiers as a bitset
using OPT_BIT. 'bool' is 1<<0, 'int' is 1<<1, and so on. This technique
allows for the representation of multiple type specifiers in the `int
types` field, but this multi-representation is left unused.
In fact, `git config` will not accept multiple type specifiers at a
time, as indicated by:
$ git config --int --bool some.section
error: only one type at a time.
This patch uses `OPT_SET_INT` to prefer the _last_ mentioned type
specifier, so that the above command would instead be valid, and a
synonym of:
$ git config --bool some.section
This change is motivated by two urges: (1) it does not make sense to
represent a singular type specifier internally as a bitset, only to
complain when there are multiple bits in the set. `OPT_SET_INT` is more
well-suited to this task than `OPT_BIT` is. (2) a future patch will
introduce `--type=<type>`, and we would like not to complain in the
following situation:

The original reasoning for not removing section headers upon removal of
the last entry went like this: the user could have added comments about
the section, or about the entries therein, and if there were other
comments there, we would not know whether we should remove them.
In particular, a concocted example was presented that looked like this
(and was added to t1300):
# some generic comment on the configuration file itself
# a comment specific to this "section" section.
[section]
# some intervening lines
# that should also be dropped
key = value
# please be careful when you update the above variable
The ideal thing for `git config --unset section.key` in this case would
be to leave only the first line behind, because all the other comments
are now obsolete.
However, this is unfeasible, short of adding a complete Natural Language
Processing module to Git, which seems not only a lot of work, but a
totally unreasonable feature (for little benefit to most users).
Now, the real kicker about this problem is: most users do not edit their
config files at all! In their use case, the config looks like this
instead:
[section]
key = value
... and it is totally obvious what should happen if the entry is
removed: the entire section should vanish.
Let's generalize this observation to this conservative strategy: if we
are removing the last entry from a section, and there are no comments
inside that section nor surrounding it, then remove the entire section.
Otherwise behave as before: leave the now-empty section (including those
comments, even ones about the now-deleted entry).
We have to be extra careful to handle the case where more than one entry
is removed: any subset of them might be the last entries of their
respective sections (and if there are no comments in or around that
section, the section should be removed, too).

We already have a test demonstrating that removing the last entry from a
config section fails to remove the section header of the now-empty
section.
The same can happen, of course, if we remove the last entries in one fell
swoop. This is *also* a bug, and should be fixed at the same time.

During the review of the first iteration of the patch series to remove
sections that become empty upon --unset or --unset-all, Jeff King
identified a couple of problematic cases with the backtracking approach
that was still used then to "look backwards for the section header":
https://public-inbox.org/git/20180329213229.GG2939@sigill.intra.peff.net/
This patch adds a couple of concocted examples designed to fool a
backtracking parser.

Compared to 'test-chmtime -v +0 file' which prints the mtime and
and the file name, 'test-chmtime --get file' displays only the mtime.
If it is used in combination with (+|=|=+|=-|-)seconds, it changes
and prints the new value.
test-chmtime -v +0 file | sed 's/[^0-9].*$//'
is now equivalent to:
test-chmtime --get file

In 0b294c0abf (make deleting a missing ref more quiet, 2008-07-08), we
added a test to verify that deleting an already-deleted ref does not
show an error.
Our test simply looks for the substring 'error' in the output of the
`git push`, which might look innocuous on the face of it.
Suppose, however, that you are a big fan of whales. Or even better: your
IT administrator has a whale of a time picking cute user names, e.g.
referring to you (due to your like of India Pale Ales) as "one of the
cuter rorquals" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorqual to learn a
thing or two about rorquals) and hence your home directory becomes
/home/cuterrorqual. If you now run t5404, it fails! Why? Because the
test calls `git push origin :b3` which outputs:
To /home/cuterrorqual/git/t/trash directory.t5404-tracking-branches/.
- [deleted] b3
Note how there is no error displayed in that output? But of course
"error" is a substring of "cuterrorqual". And so that `grep error
output` finds something.
This bug was not, actually, caught having "error" as a substring of the
user name but while working in a worktree called "colorize-push-errors",
whose name was part of that output, too, suggesting that not even
testing for the *word* `error` via `git grep -w error output` would fix
the underlying issue.
This patch chooses instead to look for the prefix "error:" at the
beginning of the line, so that there can be no ambiguity that any catch
was indeed a message generated by Git's `error_builtin()` function.

In https://public-inbox.org/git/7vvc8alzat.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org/
a reasonable patch was made quite a bit less so by changing a test case
demonstrating a bug to a test case that demonstrates that we ask for too
much: the test case 'unsetting the last key in a section removes header'
now expects a future bug fix to be able to determine whether a free-form
comment above a section header refers to said section or not.
Rather than shooting for the stars (and not even getting off the
ground), let's start shooting for something obtainable and be reasonably
confident that we *can* get it.

The test case 'unset with cont. lines' relied on a bug that is about to
be fixed: it tests *explicitly* that removing the last entry from a
config section leaves an *empty* section behind.
Let's fix this test case not to rely on that behavior, simply by
preventing the section from becoming empty.

When replacing multiple config entries at once, we did not re-set the

The email address in --authors-file and --authors-prog can be empty but
git-svn translated it into a fictional email address in the form
jondoe <jondoe@6aafaa21e0fb4338a68ab372a049893d>
containing the SVN repository UUID. Now git-svn behaves like git-commit:
If the email is *explicitly* set to the empty string using '<>', the
commit does not contain an email address, only the name:
jondoe <>
Allowing to remove the email address *intentionally* prevents automatic
systems from sending emails to those fictional addresses and avoids
cluttering the log output with unnecessary stuff.

Commit 8894d53580 (commit: allow partial commits with relative paths,
2011-07-30) ensured that partial commits were allowed when a user
supplies a relative pathspec but then this was regressed in 5879f5684c
(remove prefix argument from pathspec_prefix, 2011-09-04) when the
prefix argument to 'pathspec_prefix' removed and the 'list_paths'
function wasn't properly adjusted to cope with the change, resulting in
over-eager pruning of the tree that is overlayed on the index.
This fixes the regression and adds a regression test so this can be
prevented in the future.

It's possible to have libcurl installed but not the curl
command-line utility. The latter is not generally needed for
Git's http support, but we use it in t5561 for basic tests
of http-backend's functionality. Let's detect when it's
missing and skip this test.
Note that we can't mark the individual tests with the CURL
prerequisite. They're in a shared t556x_common that uses the
GET and POST functions as a level of indirection, and it's
only our implementations of those functions in t5561 that
requires curl. It's not a problem, though, as literally
every test in the script would depend on the prerequisite
anyway.
