The "rev-list" and other commands in the "log" family, being the
oldest part of the system, use their own custom argument parsers,
and integer values of some options are parsed with atoi(), which
allows a non-digit after the number (e.g., "1q") to be silently
ignored. As a natural consequence, an argument that does not begin
with a digit (e.g., "q") silently becomes zero, too.
Switch to use strtol_i() and parse_timestamp() appropriately to
catch bogus input.
Note that one may naïvely expect that --max-count, --skip, etc., to
only take non-negative values, but we must allow them to also take
negative values, as an escape hatch to countermand a limit set by an
earlier option on the command line; the underlying variables are
initialized to (-1) and "--max-count=-1", for example, is a
legitimate way to reinitialize the limit.

Usually "bisect reset" cleans up any refs/bisect/ refs, along with
meta-files like .git/BISECT_LOG. But it only does so after deciding that
a bisection is active, which it does by reading BISECT_START. This is
usually fine, but it's possible to get into a confusing state if the
BISECT_START file is gone, but other cruft is left (this might be due to
a bug, or a system crash, etc).
And since "bisect reset" refuses to do anything in this state, the user
has no easy way to clean up the leftover cruft. While another "bisect
start" would clear the state, in the interim it can be annoying, as
other tools (like our bash prompt code) think we are bisecting, and
for-each-ref output may be polluted with refs/bisect/ entries.
Further adding to the confusion is that running "bisect reset $some_ref"
skips the BISECT_START check. So it never realizes that there's no
bisection active and does the cleanup anyway!
So let's just make sure we always do the cleanup, whether we looked at
BISECT_START or not. If the user doesn't give us a commit to reset to,
we'll still say "We are not bisecting" and skip the call to "git
checkout".

When we added generic end-of-options support in 51b4594b40
(parse-options: allow --end-of-options as a synonym for "--",
2019-08-06), we made them true synonyms. They both stop option parsing,
and they are both returned in the resulting argv if the KEEP_DASHDASH
flag is used.
The hope was that this would work for all callers:
- most generic callers would not pass KEEP_DASHDASH, and so would just
do the right thing (stop parsing there) without needing to know
anything more.
- callers with KEEP_DASHDASH were generally going to rely on
setup_revisions(), which knew to handle --end-of-options specially
But that turned out miss quite a few cases that pass KEEP_DASHDASH but
do their own manual parsing. For example, "git reset", "git checkout",
and so on want pass KEEP_DASHDASH so they can support:
git reset $revs -- $paths
but of course aren't going to actually do a traversal, so they don't
call setup_revisions(). And those cases currently get confused by
--end-of-options being left in place, like:
$ git reset --end-of-options HEAD
fatal: option '--end-of-options' must come before non-option arguments
We could teach each of these callers to handle the leftover option
explicitly. But let's try to be a bit more clever and see if we can
solve it centrally in parse-options.c.
The bogus assumption here is that KEEP_DASHDASH tells us the caller
wants to see --end-of-options in the result. But really, the callers
which need to know that --end-of-options was reached are those that may
potentially parse more options from argv. In other words, those that
pass the KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT flag.
If such a caller is aware of --end-of-options (e.g., because they call
setup_revisions() with the result), then this will continue to do the
right thing, treating anything after --end-of-options as a non-option.
And if the caller is not aware of --end-of-options, they are better off
keeping it intact, because either:
1. They are just passing the options along to somebody else anyway, in
which case that somebody would need to know about the
--end-of-options marker.
2. They are going to parse the remainder themselves, at which point
choking on --end-of-options is much better than having it silently
removed. The point is to avoid option injection from untrusted
command line arguments, and bailing is better than quietly treating
the untrusted argument as an option.
This fixes bugs with --end-of-options across several commands, but I've
focused on two in particular here:
- t7102 confirms that "git reset --end-of-options --foo" now works.
This checks two things. One, that we no longer barf on
"--end-of-options" itself (which previously we did, even if the rev
was something vanilla like "HEAD" instead of "--foo"). And two, that
we correctly treat "--foo" as a revision rather than an option.
This fix applies to any other cases which pass KEEP_DASHDASH but not
KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT, like "git checkout", "git check-attr", "git grep",
etc, which would previously choke on "--end-of-options".
- t9350 shows the opposite case: fast-export passed KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT
but not KEEP_DASHDASH, but then passed the result on to
setup_revisions(). So it never saw --end-of-options, and would
erroneously parse "fast-export --end-of-options --foo" as having a
"--foo" option. This is now fixed.
Note that this does shut the door for callers which want to know if we
hit end-of-options, but don't otherwise need to keep unknown opts. The
obvious thing here is feeding it to the DWIM verify_filename()
machinery. And indeed, this is a problem even for commands which do
understand --end-of-options already. For example, without this patch,
you get:
$ git log --end-of-options --foo
fatal: option '--foo' must come before non-option arguments
because we refuse to accept "--foo" as a filename (because it starts
with a dash) even though we could know that we saw end-of-options. The
verify_filename() function simply doesn't accept this extra information.
So that is the status quo, and this patch doubles down further on that.
Commands like "git reset" have the same problem, but they won't even
know that parse-options saw --end-of-options! So even if we fixed
verify_filename(), they wouldn't have anything to pass to it.
But in practice I don't think this is a big deal. If you are being
careful enough to use --end-of-options, then you should also be using
"--" to disambiguate and avoid the DWIM behavior in the first place. In
other words, doing:
git log --end-of-options --this-is-a-rev -- --this-is-a-path
works correctly, and will continue to do so. And likewise, with this
patch now:
git reset --end-of-options --this-is-a-rev -- --this-is-a-path
will work, as well.

It is tempting to think of "files and directories" of the current
directory as valid inputs to the add and set subcommands of git
sparse-checkout. However, in non-cone mode, they often aren't and using
them as potential completions leads to *many* forms of confusion:
Issue #1. It provides the *wrong* files and directories.
For
git sparse-checkout add
we always want to add files and directories not currently in our sparse
checkout, which means we want file and directories not currently present
in the current working tree. Providing the files and directories
currently present is thus always wrong.
For
git sparse-checkout set
we have a similar problem except in the subset of cases where we are
trying to narrow our checkout to a strict subset of what we already
have. That is not a very common scenario, especially since it often
does not even happen to be true for the first use of the command; for
years we required users to create a sparse-checkout via
git sparse-checkout init
git sparse-checkout set <args...>
(or use a clone option that did the init step for you at clone time).
The init command creates a minimal sparse-checkout with just the
top-level directory present, meaning the set command has to be used to
expand the checkout. Thus, only in a special and perhaps unusual cases
would any of the suggestions from normal file and directory completion
be appropriate.
Issue #2: Suggesting patterns that lead to warnings is unfriendly.
If the user specifies any regular file and omits the leading '/', then
the sparse-checkout command will warn the user that their command is
problematic and suggest they use a leading slash instead.
Issue #3: Completion gets confused by leading '/', and provides wrong paths.
Users often want to anchor their patterns to the toplevel of the
repository, especially when listing individual files. There are a
number of reasons for this, but notably even sparse-checkout encourages
them to do so (as noted above). However, if users do so (via adding a
leading '/' to their pattern), then bash completion will interpret the
leading slash not as a request for a path at the toplevel of the
repository, but as a request for a path at the root of the filesytem.
That means at best that completion cannot help with such paths, and if
it does find any completions, they are almost guaranteed to be wrong.
Issue #4: Suggesting invalid patterns from subdirectories is unfriendly.
There is no per-directory equivalent to .gitignore with
sparse-checkouts. There is only a single worktree-global
$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout file. As such, paths to files must be
specified relative to the toplevel of a repository. Providing
suggestions of paths that are relative to the current working directory,
as bash completion defaults to, is wrong when the current working
directory is not the worktree toplevel directory.
Issue #5: Paths with special characters will be interpreted incorrectly
The entries in the sparse-checkout file are patterns, not paths. While
most paths also qualify as patterns (though even in such cases it would
be better for users to not use them directly but prefix them with a
leading '/'), there are a variety of special characters that would need
special escaping beyond the normal shell escaping: '*', '?', '\', '[',
']', and any leading '#' or '!'. If completion suggests any such paths,
users will likely expect them to be treated as an exact path rather than
as a pattern that might match some number of files other than 1.
However, despite the first four issues, we can note that _if_ users are
using tab completion, then they are probably trying to specify a path in
the index. As such, we transform their argument into a top-level-rooted
pattern that matches such a file. For example, if they type:
git sparse-checkout add Make<TAB>
we could "complete" to
git sparse-checkout add /Makefile
or, if they ran from the Documentation/technical/ subdirectory:
git sparse-checkout add m<TAB>
we could "complete" it to:
git sparse-checkout add /Documentation/technical/multi-pack-index.txt
Note in both cases I use "complete" in quotes, because we actually add
characters both before and after the argument in question, so we are
kind of abusing "bash completions" to be "bash completions AND
beginnings".
The fifth issue is a bit stickier, especially when you consider that we
not only need to deal with escaping issues because of special meanings
of patterns in sparse-checkout & gitignore files, but also that we need
to consider escaping issues due to ls-files needing to sometimes quote
or escape characters, and because the shell needs to escape some
characters. The multiple interacting forms of escaping could get ugly;
this patch makes no attempt to do so and simply documents that we
decided to not deal with those corner cases for now but at least get the
common cases right.

As some diffs are more special than others depending on the command line

the specific test case sometimes. This is done via colon-prefixed magic
commands, of which we currently know "failure" and "noellipses". The
logic to parse this magic is a bit convoluted though and hard to grasp,

Let's add a `--contained` option that can be used along with
`--onto` to rebase all the branches contained in the <revision-range>
argument.

There is already a 'rebase' mode with `--onto`. Let's add an 'advance' or
'cherry-pick' mode with `--advance`. This new mode will make the target
branch advance as we replay commits onto it.
The replayed commits should have a single tip, so that it's clear where
the target branch should be advanced. If they have more than one tip,
this new mode will error out.

Instead of the fixed "<oldbase> <branch>" arguments, the replay
command now accepts "<revision-range>..." arguments in a similar
way as many other Git commands. This makes its interface more
standard and more flexible.
This also enables many revision related options accepted and
eaten by setup_revisions(). If the replay command was a high level
one or had a high level mode, it would make sense to restrict some
of the possible options, like those generating non-contiguous
history, as they could be confusing for most users.
Also as the interface of the command is now mostly finalized,
we can add more documentation and more testcases to make sure
the command will continue to work as designed in the future.
We only document the rev-list related options among all the
revision related options that are now accepted, as the rev-list
related ones are probably the most useful for now.

We want this command to be a minimal command that just does server side
picking of commits, displaying the results on stdout for higher level
scripts to consume.
So let's simplify it:
* remove the worktree and index reading/writing,
* remove the ref (and reflog) updating,
* remove the assumptions tying us to HEAD, since (a) this is not a
rebase and (b) we want to be able to pick commits in a bare repo,
i.e. to/from branches that are not checked out and not the main
branch,
* remove unneeded includes,
* handle rebasing multiple branches by printing on stdout the update
ref commands that should be performed.
The output can be piped into `git update-ref --stdin` for the ref
updates to happen.
In the future to make it easier for users to use this command
directly maybe an option can be added to automatically pipe its output
into `git update-ref`.

We want replay to be a command that can be used on the server side on
any branch, not just the current one, so we are going to stop updating
HEAD in a future commit.
A "sanity check" that makes sure we are replaying the current branch
doesn't make sense anymore. Let's remove it.

For now, this is just a rename from `t/helper/test-fast-rebase.c` into
`builtin/replay.c` with minimal changes to make it build appropriately.
Let's add a stub documentation and a stub test script though.
Subsequent commits will flesh out the capabilities of the new command
and make it a more standard regular builtin.
