Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold
additional information about the config iteration operation.
config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds
metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config
source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested
in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg,
but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future
without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other
ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into
config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the
incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a
config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a
different config value).
In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct
config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free
operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide
meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and
call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg
in any meaningful way.
Most of the changes are performed by
contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every
config_fn_t:
- Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx"
- Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed
- Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed
Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are
called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are
manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed,
but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t
that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of
"struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense.
The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t
outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of
"ctx" to pass. These cases are:
- trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl()
This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2
machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings
using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb().
- builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main()
This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg.
This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since
git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much
more than just parsing.
Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct
key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the
"ctx" arg.

Let's instead partially go with the approach suggested in [2] of

ignore such tokens in argument lists that it doesn't know about, and
it's less of a surprise to syntax highlighters.
This undoes the "help us notice when a parameter marked as unused is

commit_rewrite_person() takes a commit buffer and replaces the idents

The name "commit_rewrite_person()" is misleading as it doesn't convey
what kind of rewrite are we going to do to the buffer. It also doesn't
clearly mention that the function will limit itself to the header part
of the buffer. The new name, "apply_mailmap_to_header()", expresses the

We intend to use apply_mailmap_to_header() in git-cat-file to replace
idents in the headers of commit and tag object buffers. So, we will be
extending this function to take tag objects buffer as well and replace
idents on the tagger header using the mailmap mechanism.

commit_rewrite_person() and rewrite_ident_line() are static functions
defined in revision.c.
Their usages are as follows:
- commit_rewrite_person() takes a commit buffer and replaces the author
and committer idents with their canonical versions using the mailmap
mechanism
- rewrite_ident_line() takes author/committer header lines from the
commit buffer and replaces the idents with their canonical versions
using the mailmap mechanism.
This patch moves commit_rewrite_person() and rewrite_ident_line() to
ident.c which contains many other functions related to idents like
split_ident_line(). By moving commit_rewrite_person() to ident.c, we
also intend to use it in git-cat-file to replace committer and author
idents from the headers to their canonical versions using the mailmap
mechanism. The function is moved as is for now to make it clear that
there are no other changes, but it will be renamed in a following

Move the declaration of the date.c functions from cache.h, and adjust

The show_ident_date() function belonged in pretty.h (it's defined in

Similarly, the change to "builtin/{fast-import,show-branch,tag}.c"

use the "DATE_MODE()" macro we now define in date.h, let's have them

We could simply include this new header in "cache.h", but as this

including in it in the first place. By moving them out of cache.h
changes to this API will no longer cause a (mostly) full re-build of

prepare_fallback_ident as the first function in the ident API.
However in stash we didn't actually end up following that.

for setting the user name and email instead of the config.

The author.email, author.name, committer.email and committer.name
settings are analogous to the GIT_AUTHOR_* and GIT_COMMITTER_*
environment variables, but for the git config system. This allows them
to be set separately for each repository.
Git supports setting different authorship and committer
information with environment variables. However, environment variables
are set in the shell, so if different authorship and committer
information is needed for different repositories an external tool is
required.
This adds support to git config for author.email, author.name,
committer.email and committer.name settings so this information
can be set per repository.
Also, it generalizes the fmt_ident function so it can handle author vs
committer identification.

An ident name consisting of only "crud" characters (like
whitespace or punctuation) is effectively the same as an
empty one, because our strbuf_addstr_without_crud() will
remove those characters.
We reject an empty name when formatting a strict ident, but
don't notice an all-crud one because our check happens
before the crud-removal step.
We could skip past the crud before checking for an empty
name, but let's make it a separate code path, for two
reasons. One is that we can give a more specific error
message. And two is that unlike a blank name, we probably
don't want to kick in the fallback-to-username behavior.

If we see an empty name, we complain about and mention the
matching email in the error message (to give it some
context). However, the "email" pointer may be NULL here if
we were planning to fill it in later from ident_default_email().
This was broken by 59f929596 (fmt_ident: refactor strictness
checks, 2016-02-04). Prior to that commit, we would look up
the default name and email before doing any other actions.
So one solution would be to go back to that.
However, we can't just do so blindly. The logic for handling
the "!email" condition has grown since then. In particular,
looking up the default email can die if getpwuid() fails,
but there are other errors that should take precedence.
Commit 734c7789a (ident: check for useConfigOnly before
auto-detection of name/email, 2016-03-30) reordered the
checks so that we prefer the error message for
useConfigOnly.
Instead, we can observe that while the name-handling depends
on "email" being set, the reverse is not true. So we can
simply set up the email variable first.
This does mean that if both are bogus, we'll complain about
the email before the name. But between the two, there is no
reason to prefer one over the other.

We call getaddrinfo() to try to convert a short hostname
into a fully-qualified one (to use it as an email domain).
If there isn't a canonical name, getaddrinfo() will
generally return either a NULL addrinfo list, or one in
which ai->ai_canonname is a copy of the original name.
However, if the result of gethostname() looks like an IP
address, then getaddrinfo() behaves differently on some
systems. On OS X, it will return a "struct addrinfo" with a
NULL ai_canonname, and we segfault feeding it to strchr().
This is hard to test reliably because it involves not only a
system where we we have to fallback to gethostname() to come
up with an ident, but also where the hostname is a number
with no dots. But I was able to replicate the bug by faking
a hostname, like:

Not-so-recent rewrite of "git am" that started making internal

resulting committer timestamp for the resulting commits were all
the same.
* jk/reset-ident-time-per-commit:

Not-so-recent rewrite of "git am" that started making internal
calls into the commit machinery had an unintended regression, in
that no matter how many seconds it took to apply many patches, the
resulting committer timestamp for the resulting commits were all
the same.
* jk/reset-ident-time-per-commit:
am: reset cached ident date for each patch
When we compute the date to go in author/committer lines of
commits, or tagger lines of tags, we get the current date
once and then cache it for the rest of the program. This is
a good thing in some cases, like "git commit", because it
means we do not racily assign different times to the
author/committer fields of a single commit object.
But as more programs start to make many commits in a single
process (e.g., the recently builtin "git am"), it means that
you'll get long strings of commits with identical committer
timestamps (whereas before, we invoked "git commit" many
times and got true timestamps).
This patch addresses it by letting callers reset the cached
time, which means they'll get a fresh time on their next
call to git_committer_info() or git_author_info(). The first
caller to do so is "git am", which resets the time for each
patch it applies.
It would be nice if we could just do this automatically
before filling in the ident fields of commit and tag
objects. Unfortunately, it's hard to know where a particular
logical operation begins and ends.
For instance, if commit_tree_extended() were to call
reset_ident_date() before getting the committer/author
ident, that doesn't quite work; sometimes the author info is
passed in to us as a parameter, and it may or may not have
come from a previous call to ident_default_date(). So in
those cases, we lose the property that the committer and the
author timestamp always match.
You could similarly put a date-reset at the end of
commit_tree_extended(). That actually works in the current
code base, but it's fragile. It makes the assumption that
after commit_tree_extended() finishes, the caller has no
other operations that would logically want to fall into the
same timestamp.
So instead we provide the tool to easily do the reset, and
let the high-level callers use it to annotate their own
logical operations.
There's no automated test, because it would be inherently
racy (it depends on whether the program takes multiple
seconds to run). But you can see the effect with something
like:
# make a fake 100-patch series
top=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
bottom=$(git rev-list --first-parent -100 HEAD | tail -n 1)
git log --format=email --reverse --first-parent \
--binary -m -p $bottom..$top >patch
# now apply it; this presumably takes multiple seconds
git checkout --detach $bottom
git am <patch
# now count the number of distinct committer times;
# prior to this patch, there would only be one, but
# now we'd typically see several.
git log --format=%ct $bottom.. | sort -u

"default" ident, and we do so by comparing directly to the
global strbuf, which violates the abstraction of the
ident_default_* functions.
Let's reorganize the function into a hierarchy of
conditionals to handle similar cases together. The only
case that doesn't just work naturally for this is that of an
empty name, where our advice is different based on whether
we came from ident_default_name() or not. We can use a
simple flag to cover this case.

Just in case /etc/mailname file was edited with a DOS editor,
read it with strbuf_getline() so that a stray CR is not included
as the last character of the mail hostname.
We _might_ want to more aggressively discard whitespace characters
around the line with strbuf_trim(), but that is a bit outside the
scope of this series.

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

When getpwuid() on the system returned NULL (e.g. the user is not
in the /etc/passwd file or other uid-to-name mappings), the
codepath to find who the user is to record it in the reflog barfed
and died. Loosen the check in this codepath, which already accepts
questionable ident string (e.g. host part of the e-mail address is
obviously bogus), and in general when we operate fmt_ident() function
in non-strict mode.
* jk/ident-loosen-getpwuid:
ident: loosen getpwuid error in non-strict mode
ident: keep a flag for bogus default_email
ident: make xgetpwuid_self() a static local helper
Commit 00bce77 (ident.c: add support for IPv6, 2015-11-27)
moved the "gethostbyname" call out of "add_domainname" and
into the helper function "canonical_name". But when moving
the code, it forgot that the "buf" variable is passed as
"host" in the helper.

If the user has not specified an identity and we have to
turn to getpwuid() to find the username or gecos field, we
die immediately when getpwuid fails (e.g., because the user
does not exist). This is OK for making a commit, where we
have set IDENT_STRICT and would want to bail on bogus input.
But for something like a reflog, where the ident is "best
effort", it can be pain. For instance, even running "git
clone" with a UID that is not in /etc/passwd will result in
git barfing, just because we can't find an ident to put in
the reflog.
Instead of dying in xgetpwuid_self, we can instead return a
fallback value, and set a "bogus" flag. For the username in
an email, we already have a "default_email_is_bogus" flag.
For the name field, we introduce (and check) a matching
"default_name_is_bogus" flag. As a bonus, this means you now
get the usual "tell me who you are" advice instead of just a
"no such user" error.
No tests, as this is dependent on configuration outside of
git's control. However, I did confirm that it behaves
sensibly when I delete myself from the local /etc/passwd
(reflogs get written, and commits complain).

If we have to deduce the user's email address and can't come
up with something plausible for the hostname, we simply
write "(none)" or ".(none)" in the hostname.
Later, our strict-check is forced to use strstr to look for
this magic string. This is probably not a problem in
practice, but it's rather ugly. Let's keep an extra flag
that tells us the email is bogus, and check that instead.
We could get away with simply setting the global in
add_domainname(); it only gets called to write into
git_default_email. However, let's make the code a little
more obvious to future readers by actually passing a pointer
to our "bogus" flag down the call-chain.

This function is defined in wrapper.c, but nobody besides
ident.c uses it. And nobody is likely to in the future,
either, as anything that cares about the user's name should
be going through the ident code.
Moving it here is a cleanup of the global namespace, but it
will also enable further cleanups inside ident.c.
