Jakub Narebski 256b7b4883 gitweb: Refactor generating of long dates into format_timestamp_html
It is pure refactoring and doesn't change gitweb output, though this
could potentially affect 'summary', 'log', and 'commit'-like views
('commit', 'commitdiff', 'tag').

Remove print_local_time and format_local_time, as their use is now
replaced (indirectly) by using format_timestamp_html.

While at it improve whitespace formatting.

Jakub Narebski 54b1479a77 gitweb.js: Extract and improve datetime handling
Move formatDateISOLocal(epoch, timezone) function (and also helper
timezoneOffset(timezoneInfo) function it requires) from common-lib.js to
datetime.js

Add new functions:
* localTimezoneOffset - to get browser timezone offset in seconds
* localTimezoneInfo   - to get browser timezone in '(+|-)HHMM' format
* formatTimezoneInfo - turn offset in hours and minutes into '(+|-)HHMM'
* parseRFC2822Date - to parse RFC-2822 dates that gitweb uses into epoch
* formatDateRFC2882 - like formatDateISOLocal, only RFC-2822 format

All those functions are meant to be used in future commit
'gitweb: javascript ability to adjust time based on timezone'

An alternative would be to use e.g. Datejs (http://www.datejs.com)
library, or JavaScript framework that has date formatting (perhaps as
a plugin).

While at it escape '-' in character class inside tzRe regexp, as
recommended by JSLint (http://www.jslint.com).

Jakub Narebski 4dfa207eec gitweb.js: Provide default values for padding in padLeftStr and padLeft
This means that one can use padLeft(4, 2) and it would be equivalent
to runing padLeft(4, 2, '0'), and it would return '04' i.e. '4' padded
with '0' to width 2, to be used e.g. in formatting date and time.

This should make those functions easier to use.  Current code doesn't
yet make use of this feature.

Jakub Narebski 9a86dd5710 gitweb: Split JavaScript for maintability, combining on build
Split originally single gitweb.js file into smaller files, each
dealing with single issue / area of responsibility.  This move should
make gitweb's JavaScript code easier to maintain.

For better webapp performance it is recommended[1][2][3] to combine
JavaScript files.  Do it during build time (in gitweb/Makefile), by
straight concatenation of files into gitweb.js file (which is now
ignored as being generated).  This means that there are no changes to
gitweb script itself - it still uses gitweb.js or gitweb.min.js, but
now generated.

Jonathan Nieder f143d9c695 userdiff/perl: tighten BEGIN/END block pattern to reject here-doc delimiters
A naive method of treating BEGIN/END blocks with a brace on the second
line as diff/grep funcname context involves also matching unrelated
lines that consist of all-caps letters:

	sub foo {
		print <<'EOF'
	text goes here
	...
	EOF
		... rest of foo ...
	}

That's not so great, because it means that "git diff" and "git grep
--show-function" would write "=EOF" or "@@ EOF" as context instead of
a more useful reminder like "@@ sub foo {".

To avoid this, tighten the pattern to only match the special block
names that perl accepts (namely BEGIN, END, INIT, CHECK, UNITCHECK,
AUTOLOAD, and DESTROY).  The list is taken from perl's toke.c.

Jonathan Nieder f5b7ce1b90 tests: make test_expect_code quieter on success
A command exiting with the expected status is not particularly
notable.

While the indication of progress might be useful when tracking down
where in a test a failure has happened, the same applies to most other
test helpers, which are quiet about success, so this single helper's
output stands out in an unpleasant way.  An alternative method for
showing progress information might to invent a --progress option that
runs tests with "set -x", or until that is available, to run tests
using commands like

	prove -v -j2 --shuffle --exec='sh -x' t2202-add-addremove.sh

Jonathan Nieder 12f0967a8a userdiff/perl: match full line of POD headers
The builtin perl userdiff driver is not greedy enough about catching
POD header lines.  Capture the whole line, so instead of just
declaring that we are in some "@@ =head1" section, diff/grep output
can explain that the enclosing section is about "@@ =head1 OPTIONS".

Jonathan Nieder f12c66b9bb userdiff/perl: anchor "sub" and "package" patterns on the left
The userdiff funcname mechanism has no concept of nested scopes ---
instead, "git diff" and "git grep --show-function" simply label the
diff header with the most recent matching line.  Unfortunately that
means text following a subroutine in a POD section:

	=head1 DESCRIPTION

	You might use this facility like so:

		sub example {
			foo;
		}

	Now, having said that, let's say more about the facility.
	Blah blah blah ... etc etc.

gets the subroutine name instead of the POD header in its diff/grep
funcname header, making it harder to get oriented when reading a
diff without enough context.

The fix is simple: anchor the funcname syntax to the left margin so
nested subroutines and packages like this won't get picked up.  (The
builtin C++ funcname pattern already does the same thing.)  This means
the userdiff driver will misparse the idiom

	{
		my $static;
		sub foo {
			... use $static ...
		}
	}

but I think that's worth it; we can revisit this later if the userdiff
mechanism learns to keep track of the beginning and end of nested
scopes.

Jonathan Nieder d64d6cdc20 t4018 (funcname patterns): minor cleanups
Introduce a test_expect_funcname function to make a diff and apply a
regexp anchored on the left to the function name it writes, avoiding
some repetition.

Omit the space after >, <<, and < operators for consistency with
other scripts.  Quote the <<here document delimiter and $ signs in
quotes so readers don't have to worry about the effect of shell
metacharacters.

Remove some unnecessary blank lines.

Run "git diff" as a separate command instead of as upstream of a pipe
that checks its output, so the exit status can be tested.  In
particular, this way if "git diff" starts segfaulting the test harness
will notice.

Allow "error:" as a synonym for "fatal:" when checking error messages,
since whether a command uses die() or "return error()" is a small
implementation detail.

Anchor some more regexes on the right.

None of the above is very important on its own; the point is just to
make the script a little easier to read and the code less scary to
modify.

Jonathan Nieder f792a0b88e t4018 (funcname patterns): make configuration easier to track
Introduce a "test_config" function to set a configuration variable
for use by a single test (automatically unsetting it when the
assertion finishes).  If this function is used consistently, the
configuration used in a test_expect_success block can be read at the
beginning of that block instead of requiring reading all the tests
that come before.  So it becomes a little easier to add new tests or
rearrange existing ones without fear of breaking configuration.

In particular, the test of alternation in xfuncname patterns also
checks that xfuncname takes precedence over funcname variable as a
sort of side-effect, since the latter leaks in from previous tests.
In the new syntax, the test has to say explicitly what variables it is
using, making the test clearer and a future regression in coverage
from carelessly editing the script less likely.

Jonathan Nieder 5b5e45949b t4018 (funcname patterns): make .gitattributes state easier to track
Most, but not all, tests in this script rely on attributes declaring
that files with a .java extension should use the "java" driver:

	*.java diff=java

Split out a "set up" test to put such a .gitattributes in place after
the tests that do not want it have run, to make it more likely that
individual tests other than this setup test can be safely modified,
rearranged, or skipped.  Presumably this setup code will learn to
request other drivers for other extensions in the same place when the
test suite learns to exercise other diff drivers.

Similarly, make sure that early test assertions that do not use these
default attributes set up .gitattributes appropriately for themselves,
so tests that run before can be modified with less risk of breaking
something.

Jim Meyering 42536dd9b9 do not read beyond end of malloc'd buffer
With diff.suppress-blank-empty=true, "git diff --word-diff" would
output data that had been read from uninitialized heap memory.
The problem was that fn_out_consume did not account for the
possibility of a line with length 1, i.e., the empty context line
that diff.suppress-blank-empty=true converts from " \n" to "\n".
Since it assumed there would always be a prefix character (the space),
it decremented "len" unconditionally, thus passing len=0 to emit_line,
which would then blindly call emit_line_0 with len=-1 which would
pass that value on to fwrite as SIZE_MAX.  Boom.

Jeff King cff38a5e11 receive-pack: eliminate duplicate .have refs
When receiving a push, we advertise ref tips from any
alternate repositories, in case that helps the client send a
smaller pack. Since these refs don't actually exist in the
destination repository, we don't transmit the real ref
names, but instead use the pseudo-ref ".have".

If your alternate has a large number of duplicate refs (for
example, because it is aggregating objects from many related
repositories, some of which will have the same tags and
branch tips), then we will send each ".have $sha1" line
multiple times. This is a pointless waste of bandwidth, as
we are simply repeating the same fact to the client over and
over.

This patch eliminates duplicate .have refs early on. It does
so efficiently by sorting the complete list and skipping
duplicates. This has the side effect of re-ordering the
.have lines by ascending sha1; this isn't a problem, though,
as the original order was meaningless.

There is a similar .have system in fetch-pack, but it
does not suffer from the same problem. For each alternate
ref we consider in fetch-pack, we actually open the object
and mark it with the SEEN flag, so duplicates are
automatically culled.

Jeff King 114a6a889f refactor refs_from_alternate_cb to allow passing extra data
The foreach_alt_odb function triggers a callback for each
alternate object db we have, with room for a single void
pointer as data. Currently, we always call refs_from_alternate_cb
as the callback function, and then pass another callback (to
receive each ref individually) as the void pointer.

This has two problems:

  1. C technically forbids stuffing a function pointer into
     a "void *". In practice, this probably doesn't matter
     on any architectures git runs on, but it never hurts to
     follow the letter of the law.

  2. There is no room for an extra data pointer. Indeed, the
     alternate_ref_fn that refs_from_alternate_cb calls
     takes a void* for data, but we always pass it NULL.

Instead, let's properly stuff our function pointer into a
data struct, which also leaves room for an extra
caller-supplied data pointer. And to keep things simple for
existing callers, let's make a for_each_alternate_ref

We usually keep these lists in sorted order, but the last
few entries were just tacked on the end.

Jeff King ea5f220821 fetch: avoid repeated commits in mark_complete
We add every local ref to a list so that we can mark them
and all of their ancestors back to a certain cutoff point.
However, if some refs point to the same commit, we will end
up adding them to the list many times.

Furthermore, since commit_lists are stored as linked lists,
we must do an O(n) traversal of the list in order to find
the right place to insert each commit. This makes building
the list O(n^2) in the number of refs.

For normal repositories, this isn't a big deal. We have a
few hundreds refs at most, and most of them are unique. But
consider an "alternates" repo that serves as an object
database for many other similar repos. For reachability, it
needs to keep a copy of the refs in each child repo. This
means it may have a large number of refs, many of which
point to the same commits.

By noting commits we have already added to the list, we can
shrink the size of "n" in such a repo to the number of
unique commits, which is on the order of what a normal repo
would contain (it's actually more than a normal repo, since child repos
may have branches at different states, but in practice it tends
to be much smaller than the list with duplicates).

Here are the results on one particular giant repo
(containing objects for all Rails forks on GitHub):

Rafael Gieschke 590e081dea ident: add NO_GECOS_IN_PWENT for systems without pw_gecos in struct passwd
Allow NO_GECOS_IN_PWENT to be defined in the Makefile for platforms that
lack the pw_gecos field in their "struct passwd", in which case the
uppercased user name is used instead via the standard '&' replacement
mechanism.

Jonathan Nieder 36268b762c provide a copy of the LGPLv2.1
The LGPL seems to require providing a copy of the license when
distributing xdiff, compat/fnmatch, and so on, or altering the license
notices to refer to the GPL intead.  Since we don't want to do the
latter, let's do the former.  It's nice to let people know their
rights anyway.
