Jean-Noel Avila 6c48686263 usability: don't ask questions if no reply is required
There has been a bug report by a corporate user that stated that
"spelling mistake of stash followed by a yes prints character 'y'
infinite times."

This analysis was false. When the spelling of a command contains
errors, the git program tries to help the user by providing candidates
which are close to the unexisting command. E.g Git prints the
following:

        git: 'stahs' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
        Did you mean this?

        stash

and then exits.

The problem with this hint is that it is not formally indicated as an
hint and the user is in fact encouraged to reply to the question,
whereas the Git command is already finished.

The user was unlucky enough that it was the command he was looking
for, and replied "yes" on the command line, effectively launching the
`yes` program.

The initial error is that the Git programs, when launched in
command-line mode (without interaction) must not ask questions,
because these questions would normally require a user input as a reply
that they won't handle indeed. That's a source of confusion on UX
level.

To improve the general usability of the Git suite, the following rule
was applied:

if the sentence
 * appears in a non-interactive session
 * is printed last before exit
 * is a question addressing the user ("you")

the sentence is turned into affirmative and proposes the option.

The basic rewording of the question sentences has been extended to
other spots found in the source.

The local ident_split variable is often mentioned three

Jeff King 2e2bbb9624 am: simplify allocations in get_commit_info()
After we call split_ident_line(), we have several begin/end
pairs for various parts of the ident. We then copy each into
a strbuf to create a single string, and then detach that
string.  We can instead skip the strbuf entirely and just
duplicate the strings directly.

This is shorter, and it makes it more obvious that we are
not leaking the strbuf (we were not before, because every
code path either died or hit a strbuf_detach).

Jeff King 16d2676c9e am: drop "dir" parameter from am_state_init
The only caller of this function passes in a static buffer
returned from git_path(). This looks dangerous at first
glance, but turns out to be OK because the first thing we do
is xstrdup() the result.

Let's turn this into a git_pathdup(). That's slightly more
efficient (no extra copy), and makes it easier to audit for
dangerous git_path() invocations.

Since there's only a single caller, let's just set this
default path inside the init function. That makes the memory
ownership clear.

Giuseppe Bilotta b7cc7051f7 builtin/am: honor --signoff also when --rebasing
Signoff is handled in parse_mail(), but not in parse_mail_rebasing(),
since the latter is only used when git-rebase calls git-am with the
--rebasing option, and --signoff is never passed in this case.

In order to introduce (in the upcoming commits) support for
`git-rebase --signoff`, we must make git-am pay attention to it also
in the rebase case. This can be done by moving the conditional
addition of the signoff from parse_mail() to the caller am_run(),
after either of the parse_mail*() functions were called.

Kyle Meyer 755b49ae96 delete_ref: accept a reflog message argument
When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted
with 'git update-ref -m<msg> -d', the event is recorded in HEAD's log
with an empty message.  In preparation for adding a more meaningful
message to HEAD's log in these cases, update delete_ref() to take a
message argument and pass it along to ref_transaction_delete().
Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no
change in behavior is intended.

Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted
ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref.  Even if it
were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted
ref's log.  files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if
REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update()
doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING
is set.  In contrast, the update for HEAD has REF_LOG_ONLY set by
split_head_update(), resulting in the deletion being logged.

and the --abort could not be performed. But the --abort is performed,
only without rewinding. By simply changing the error into a warning,
we indicate the user that she must not try something like

Junio C Hamano b3e83cc752 hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()
Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to
prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to
die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody
else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to
die upon failure.

This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile
API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to
LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update().

Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop
translating.  Callers other than the ones that are replaced with
this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is
intended with this patch.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
---

Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0:

 - diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an
   opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is
   just before the program exits and nobody should care.

 - builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(),
   builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(),
   sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic
   updates and they are OK.

 - builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront
   but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the
   entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to
   issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock.  We do diagnose
   and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK.

 - wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY.  It asks
   silence, does not check the returned value.  Compare with
   callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it
   is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.

Christian Couder edfac5ebff builtin/am: use apply API in run_apply()
This replaces run_apply() implementation with a new one that
uses the apply API that has been previously prepared in
apply.c and apply.h.

This shoud improve performance a lot in certain cases.

As the previous implementation was creating a new `git apply`
process to apply each patch, it could be slow on systems like
Windows where it is costly to create new processes.

Also the new `git apply` process had to read the index from
disk, and when the process was done the calling process
discarded its own index and read back from disk the new
index that had been created by the `git apply` process.

This could be very inefficient with big repositories that
have big index files, especially when the system decided
that it was a good idea to run the `git apply` processes on
a different processor core.

Also eliminating index reads enables further performance
improvements by using:

`git update-index --split-index`

For example here is a benchmark of a multi hundred commit
rebase on the Linux kernel on a Debian laptop with SSD:

command: git rebase --onto 1993b17 52bef0c 29dde7c

Vanilla "next" without split index:                1m54.953s
Vanilla "next" with split index:                   1m22.476s
This series on top of "next" without split index:  1m12.034s
This series on top of "next" with split index:     0m15.678s

(using branch "next" from mid April 2016.)

Junio C Hamano 24fbe00490 Merge branch '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
2016-08-10 12:33:17 -07:00
Jeff King 4d9c7e6f45 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

Johannes Schindelin 3f338f43b0 am -3: use merge_recursive() directly again
Last October, we had to change this code to run `git merge-recursive`
in a child process: git-am wants to print some helpful advice when the
merge failed, but the code in question was not prepared to return, it
die()d instead.

We are finally at a point when the code *is* prepared to return errors,
and can avoid the child process again.

This reverts commit c63d4b2 (am -3: do not let failed merge from
completing the error codepath, 2015-10-09), with the necessary changes
to adjust for the fact that Git's source code changed in the meantime
(such as: using OIDs instead of hashes in the recursive merge, and a
removed gender bias).

Note: the code now calls merge_recursive_generic() again. Unlike
merge_trees() and merge_recursive(), this function returns 0 upon success,
as most of Git's functions. Therefore, the error value -1 naturally is
handled correctly, and we do not have to take care of it specifically.

Junio C Hamano 3d55eea805 Merge branch 'js/am-call-theirs-theirs-in-fallback-3way'
One part of "git am" had an oddball helper function that called
stuff from outside "his" as opposed to calling what we have "ours",
which was not gender-neutral and also inconsistent with the rest of
the system where outside stuff is usuall called "theirs" in
contrast to "ours".

Johannes Schindelin 715a51bcaf am: counteract gender bias
Since 47f0b6d5 (Fall back to three-way merge when applying a patch.,
2005-10-06), i.e. for almost 11 years already, we used a male form
to describe "the other tree".

While it was unintended, this gave the erroneous impression as if
the Git developers thought of users as male, and were unaware of the
important role in software development played by female actors such
as Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper and Margaret Hamilton. In fact, the
first professional software developers were all female.

Let's change those unfortunate references to the gender neutral
"their tree".  Doing so also makes the fallback_merge_recursive(),
which is an oddball, more in line with the other parts of the system
where we contrast what we have vs what we obtain from others by
saying "ours" vs "theirs".  This inconsistency was also unintended.

There are several places where we open a file, write some

write_file() either returns 0 or dies, so there is no point in checking
its return value.  The callers of the wrappers write_state_text(),
write_state_count() and write_state_bool() consequently already ignore
their return values.  Stop pretending we care and make them void.

Junio C Hamano 708b8cc9a1 am -i: fix "v"iew
The 'v'iew subcommand of the interactive mode of "git am -i" was
broken by the rewrite to C we did at around 2.6.0 timeframe at
7ff26832 (builtin-am: implement -i/--interactive, 2015-08-04); we
used to spawn the pager via the shell, accepting things like

	PAGER='less -S'

in the environment, but the rewrite forgot and tried to directly
spawn a command whose name is the entire string.

The previous refactoring of the new helper function makes it easier
for us to do the right thing.

Junio C Hamano 1a0c8dfd89 strbuf: give strbuf_getline() to the "most text friendly" variant
Now there is no direct caller to strbuf_getline(), we can demote it
to file-scope static that is private to strbuf.c and rename it to
strbuf_getdelim().  Rename strbuf_getline_crlf(), which is designed
to be the most "text friendly" variant, and allow it to take over
this simplest name, strbuf_getline(), so we can add more uses of it
without having to type _crlf over and over again in the coming
steps.

Junio C Hamano 8f309aeb82 strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()
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().

Junio C Hamano c8aa9fdf5d strbuf: make strbuf_getline_crlf() global
Often we read "text" files that are supplied by the end user
(e.g. commit log message that was edited with $GIT_EDITOR upon 'git
commit -e'), and in some environments lines in a text file are
terminated with CRLF.  Existing strbuf_getline() knows to read a
single line and then strip the terminating byte from the result, but
it is handy to have a version that is more tailored for a "text"
input that takes both '\n' and '\r\n' as line terminator (aka
<newline> in POSIX lingo) and returns the body of the line after
stripping <newline>.

Recently reimplemented "git am" uses such a function implemented
privately; move it to strbuf.[ch] and make it available for others.

Note that we do not blindly replace calls to strbuf_getline() that
uses LF as the line terminator with calls to strbuf_getline_crlf()
and this is very much deliberate.  Some callers may want to treat an
incoming line that ends with CR (and terminated with LF) to have a
payload that includes the final CR, and such a blind replacement
will result in misconversion when done without code audit.
