POSIX allows echo without flag to interpret specials such as \n, and we
tried to make things portable by using printf instead where it matters.
Recently added code to "git am" had unprotected "echo", which was caught
by t4014 and Rémi Vanicat.
This should fix it.

Traditionally git-rebase was implemented in terms of "format-patch" piped
to "am -3", to strike balance between speed (because it avoids a rather
expensive read-tree/merge-recursive machinery most of the time) and
flexibility (the magic "-3" allows it to fall back to 3-way merge as
necessary). However, this combination has one flaw when dealing with a
nonstandard commit log message format that has more than one lines in the
first paragraph.
This teaches "git am --rebasing" to take advantage of the fact that the
mbox message "git rebase" prepares for it records the original commit
object name, to get the log message from the original commit object
instead.

* maint-1.5.4:
git-bisect: make "start", "good" and "skip" succeed or fail atomically
git-am: cope better with an empty Subject: line
Ignore leading empty lines while summarizing merges
bisect: squelch "fatal: ref HEAD not a symref" misleading message
builtin-apply: Show a more descriptive error on failure when opening a patch
Clarify documentation of git-cvsserver, particularly in relation to git-shell
When the Subject: line is empty for whatever reason, git-am was fooled by
it and left an empty line at the beginning of the resulting commit log
message.
This moves the logic around so that we do not keep $SUBJECT in a separate
variable. Instead, $dotest/msg-clean, which used to be the log message
body extracted from the message and then trailing whitespaces cleansed
out, now contains the subject line followed by a blank line at the
beginning for normal messages, and we use the first line from the file as
the summary line throughout the program.

The "-n" syntax is not supported by System V versions of
tail (which prefer "tail -1"). Unfortunately "tail -1" is
not actually POSIX. We had some of both forms in our
scripts.
Since neither form works everywhere, this patch replaces
both with the equivalent sed invocation:
sed -ne '$p'

The new option --rebasing is used internally for rebase to tell am that
it is being used for its purpose. This would leave .dotest/rebasing to
help "completion" scripts tell if the ongoing operation is am or rebase.
Also the option at the same time stands for --binary, -3 and -k which
are always given when rebase drives am as its backend.
Using the information "am" leaves, git-completion.bash tells ongoing
rebase and am apart.

This reverts commit 6e9e0327b7. People

When you have a file called HEAD in your work tree, many commands that
our scripts feed "HEAD" to would complain about the rev vs path
ambiguity. A solution is to form command line more carefully by
appending -- to them, which makes it clear that we mean HEAD rev not
HEAD file.

git-am used "git apply -z --index-info" to find the original versions
of the files touched by the diff, to be able to do an inexpensive
three-way merge.
This operation makes only sense in a repository, since the index
information in the diff refers to blobs, which have to be present in
the current repository.
Therefore, teach "git apply" a mode to write out the result as an

themselves.

A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with
while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac
and similar. I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the
body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance. It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git
scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change.
A few loops have had their termination condition expressed
differently.

Earlier, "git rerere" was enabled by creating the directory
.git/rr-cache. That is definitely not in line with most other
features, which are enabled by a config variable.
So, check the config variable "rerere.enabled". If it is set
to "false" explicitely, do not activate rerere, even if
.git/rr-cache exists. This should help when you want to disable
rerere temporarily.
If "rerere.enabled" is not set at all, fall back to detection
of the directory .git/rr-cache.

Under some implementations of echo (such as that provided by
dash), backslash escapes are recognized without any other
options. This means that echo-ing user-supplied strings may
cause any backslash sequences in them to be converted. Using
printf resolves the ambiguity.

characters are converted to a literal newline. Noticed by

I am working on a project that required parsing through regular
mboxes that didn't necessarily have patches embedded in them. I
started by creating my own modified copy of git-am and working
from there. Very quickly, I noticed git-mailinfo wasn't able to
handle a big chunk of my email.
After hacking up numerous solutions and running into more
limitations, I decided it was just easier to rewrite a big chunk
of it. The following patch has a bunch of fixes and features
that I needed in order for me do what I wanted.
Note: I'm didn't follow any email rfc papers but I don't think
any of the changes I did required much knowledge (besides the
boundary stuff).
List of major changes/fixes:
- can't create empty patch files fix
- empty patch files don't fail, this failure will come inside git-am
- multipart boundaries are now handled
- only output inbody headers if a patch exists otherwise assume those
headers are part of the reply and instead output the original headers
- decode and filter base64 patches correctly
- various other accidental fixes
I believe I didn't break any existing functionality or
compatibility (other than what I describe above, which is really
only the empty patch file).
I tested this through various mailing list archives and
everything seemed to parse correctly (a couple thousand emails).
