Ben Peart 7c545be9a1 update-index: add a new --force-write-index option
At times, it makes sense to avoid the cost of writing out the index
when the only changes can easily be recomputed on demand. This causes
problems when trying to write test cases to verify that state as they
can't guarantee the state has been persisted to disk.

Add a new option (--force-write-index) to update-index that will
ensure the index is written out even if the cache_changed flag is not
set.

Follow the Oxford style, which says to use "up-to-date" before the noun,
but "up to date" after it. Don't change plumbing (specifically
send-pack.c, but transport.c (git push) also has the same string).

This was produced by grepping for "up-to-date" and "up to date". It
turned out we only had to edit in one direction, removing the hyphens.

Michael J Gruber 9d89b35526 merge: save merge state earlier
If the `git merge` process is killed while waiting for the editor to
finish, the merge state is lost but the prepared merge msg and tree is kept.
So, a subsequent `git commit` creates a squashed merge even when the
user asked for proper merge commit originally.

Demonstrate the problem with a test crafted after the in t7502. The test
requires EXECKEEPSPID (thus does not run under MINGW).

Save the merge state earlier (in the non-squash case) so that it does
not get lost. This makes the test pass.

Michael J Gruber 8e6a6bb360 merge: split write_merge_state in two
write_merge_state() writes out the merge heads, mode, and msg. But we
may want to write out heads, mode without the msg. So, split out heads
(+mode) into a separate function write_merge_heads() that is called by
write_merge_state().

No funtional change so far, except when these non-atomic writes are
interrupted: we write heads-mode-msg now when we used to write
heads-msg-mode.

Michael J Gruber 62dc42b937 merge: clarify call chain
prepare_to_commit() cannot be reached in the non-squash case:
It is called by merge_trivial() and finish_automerge() only, but the
calls to the latter are somewhat hard to track:

If option_commit is not set, the code in cmd_merge() uses a fake
conflict return code (ret=1) to avoid writing the tree, which also
avoids setting automerge_was_ok (just as in the proper ret==1 case), so
that finish_automerge() is not called.

To ensure that no code change breaks that assumption, safe-guard
prepare_to_commit() by a BUG() statement.

Martin Ågren 0c2ad00b3c pack-objects: take lock before accessing remaining
When checking the conditional of "while (me->remaining)", we did not
hold the lock. Calling find_deltas would still be safe, since it checks
"remaining" (after taking the lock) and is able to handle all values. In
fact, this could (currently) not trigger any bug: a bug could happen if
`remaining` transitioning from zero to non-zero races with the evaluation
of the while-condition, but these are always separated by the
data_ready-mechanism.

Make sure we have the lock when we read `remaining`. This does mean we
release it just so that find_deltas can take it immediately again. We
could tweak the contract so that the lock should be taken before calling
find_deltas, but let's defer that until someone can actually show that
"unlock+lock" has a measurable negative impact.

Junio C Hamano 8aade107dd progress: simplify "delayed" progress API
We used to expose the full power of the delayed progress API to the
callers, so that they can specify, not just the message to show and
expected total amount of work that is used to compute the percentage
of work performed so far, the percent-threshold parameter P and the
delay-seconds parameter N.  The progress meter starts to show at N
seconds into the operation only if we have not yet completed P per-cent
of the total work.

Most callers used either (0%, 2s) or (50%, 1s) as (P, N), but there
are oddballs that chose more random-looking values like 95%.

For a smoother workload, (50%, 1s) would allow us to start showing
the progress meter earlier than (0%, 2s), while keeping the chance
of not showing progress meter for long running operation the same as
the latter.  For a task that would take 2s or more to complete, it
is likely that less than half of it would complete within the first
second, if the workload is smooth.  But for a spiky workload whose
earlier part is easier, such a setting is likely to fail to show the
progress meter entirely and (0%, 2s) is more appropriate.

But that is merely a theory.  Realistically, it is of dubious value
to ask each codepath to carefully consider smoothness of their
workload and specify their own setting by passing two extra
parameters.  Let's simplify the API by dropping both parameters and
have everybody use (0%, 2s).

Oh, by the way, the percent-threshold parameter and the structure
member were consistently misspelled, which also is now fixed ;-)

Kaartic Sivaraam 52668846ea builtin/branch: stop supporting the "--set-upstream" option
The '--set-upstream' option of branch was deprecated in b347d06b
("branch: deprecate --set-upstream and show help if we detect
possible mistaken use", 2012-08-30) and has been planned for removal
ever since.

In order to prevent "--set-upstream" on a command line from being taken as
an abbreviated form of "--set-upstream-to", explicitly catch "--set-upstream"
option and die, instead of just removing it from the list of options.

Before this change, an attempt to use "--set-upstream" resulted in:

    $ git branch
    * master

    $ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
    The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to
    Branch origin/master set up to track local branch master.

    $ echo $?
    0

    $ git branch
    * master
      origin/master

With this change, the behaviour becomes like this:

    $ git branch
    * master

    $ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
    fatal: the '--set-upstream' option is no longer supported. Please use '--track' or '--set-upstream-to' instead.

    $ echo $?
    128

    $ git branch
    * master

Jeff King 99e09dafd7 interpret-trailers: add --parse convenience option
The last few commits have added command line options that
can turn interpret-trailers into a parsing tool. Since
they'd most often be used together, let's provide a
convenient single option for callers to invoke this mode.

This is implemented as a callback rather than a boolean so
that its effect is applied immediately, as if those options
had been specified. Later options can then override them.
E.g.:

  git interpret-trailers --parse --no-unfold

would work.

Let's also update the documentation to make clear that this
parsing mode behaves quite differently than the normal
"add trailers to the input" mode.

Jeff King 000023961a interpret-trailers: add an option to unfold values
The point of "--only-trailers" is to give a caller an output
that's easy for them to parse. Getting rid of the
non-trailer material helps, but we still may see more
complicated syntax like whitespace continuation. Let's add
an option to unfold any continuation, giving the output as a
single "key: value" line per trailer.

As a bonus, this could be used even without --only-trailers
to clean up unusual formatting in the incoming data.

Jeff King fdbdb64f49 interpret-trailers: add an option to show only existing trailers
It can be useful to invoke interpret-trailers for the
primary purpose of parsing existing trailers. But in that
case, we don't want to apply existing ifMissing or ifExists
rules from the config. Let's add a special mode where we
avoid applying those rules. Coupled with --only-trailers,
this gives us a reasonable parsing tool.

Jeff King 56c493ed1b interpret-trailers: add an option to show only the trailers
In theory it's easy for any reader who wants to parse
trailers to do so. But there are a lot of subtle corner
cases around what counts as a trailer, when the trailer
block begins and ends, etc. Since interpret-trailers already
has our parsing logic, let's let callers ask it to just
output the trailers.

They still have to parse the "key: value" lines, but at
least they can ignore all of the other corner cases.

Kevin Willford 738e88a20c format-patch: have progress option while generating patches
When generating patches for the rebase command, if the user does
not realize the branch they are rebasing onto is thousands of
commits different, there is no progress indication after initial
rewinding message.

The progress meter as presented in this patch assumes the thousands of
patches to have a fine granularity as well as assuming to require all
the same amount of work/time for each, such that a steady progress bar
is achieved.

We do not want to estimate the time for each patch based e.g.
on their size or number of touched files (or parents) as that is too
expensive for just a progress meter.

This patch allows a progress option to be passed to format-patch
so that the user can be informed the progress of generating the
patch.  This option is then used by the rebase command when
calling format-patch.

René Scharfe 5c377d3d59 tree-walk: convert fill_tree_descriptor() to object_id
All callers of fill_tree_descriptor() have been converted to object_id
already, so convert that function as well.  As a nice side-effect we get
rid of NULL checks in tree-diff.c, as fill_tree_descriptor() already
does them for us.
