fc65b00da7 merge-recursive: change current file dir string_lists to hashmap
The code was using two string_lists, one for the directories and
one for the files.  The code never checks the lists independently
so we should be able to only use one list.  The string_list also
is a O(log n) for lookup and insertion.  Switching this to use a
hashmap will give O(1) which will save some time when there are
millions of paths that will be checked.

ef9c4dc3b6 merge-recursive: remove return value from get_files_dirs
The return value of the get_files_dirs call is never being used.
Looking at the history of the file and it was originally only
being used for debug output statements.  Also when
read_tree_recursive return value is non zero it is changed to
zero.  This leads me to believe that it doesn't matter if
read_tree_recursive gets an error.

Since the debug output has been removed and the caller isn't
checking the return value there is no reason to keep calculating
and returning a value.

e336bdc5b9 merge-recursive: fix memory leak
In merge_trees if process_renames or process_entry returns less
than zero, the method will just return and not free re_merge,
re_head, or entries.

This change cleans up the allocated variables before returning
to the caller.

7560f547e6 treewide: correct several "up-to-date" to "up to date"
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.

Fix a typo in Documentation/git-diff-index.txt while we're there.

b26d87f2da merge-recursive: make "CONFLICT (rename/delete)" message show both paths
The current message printed by "git merge-recursive" for a rename/delete
conflict is like this:

CONFLICT (rename/delete): new-path deleted in HEAD and renamed in
other-branch. Version other-branch of new-path left in tree.

To be more helpful, the message should show both paths of the rename and
state that the deletion occurred at the old path, not the new path.  So
change the message to the following format:

CONFLICT (rename/delete): old-path deleted in HEAD and renamed to
new-path in other-branch. Version other-branch of new-path left in tree.

Since this doubles the number of cases in handle_change_delete (modify vs.
rename), refactor the code to halve the number of cases again by merging the
cases where o->branch1 has the change and o->branch2 has the delete with the
cases that are the other way around.

Also add a simple test of the new conflict message.

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.

---

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.

fa6ca11105 merge-recursive.c: use string_list_sort instead of qsort
Merge-recursive sorts a string list using a raw qsort(), where it
feeds the "items" from one struct but the "nr" and size fields from
another struct. This isn't a bug because one list is a copy of the
other, but it's unnecessarily confusing (and also caused our recent
QSORT() cleanups via coccinelle to miss this call site).

Let's use string_list_sort() instead, which is more concise and harder
to get wrong. Note that we need to adjust our comparison function,
which gets fed only the strings now, not the string_list_items. That's
OK because we don't use the "util" field as part of our sort.

1335d76e45 ("merge: avoid "safer crlf" during recording of merge

with CE_MATCH_REFRESH into a call to make_cache_entry() without one,
followed by a call to add_cache_entry(), refresh_cache() and another
add_cache_entry() as needed.  However the conversion was botched in
that it forgot that refresh_cache() can return NULL, which was
handled correctly in make_cache_entry() but in the updated code.

5423d2e700 submodules: allow empty working-tree dirs in merge/cherry-pick
When a submodule is being merged or cherry-picked into a working
tree that already contains a corresponding empty directory, do not
record a conflict.

One situation where this bug appears is:

- Commit 1 adds a submodule
- Commit 2 removes that submodule and re-adds it into a subdirectory
       (sub1 to sub1/sub1).
- Commit 3 adds an unrelated file.

Now the user checks out commit 1 (first deinitializing the submodule),
and attempts to cherry-pick commit 3.  Previously, this would fail,
because the incoming submodule sub1/sub1 would falsely conflict with
the empty sub1 directory.

This patch ignores the empty sub1 directory, fixing the bug.  We only
ignore the empty directory if the object being emplaced is a
submodule, which expects an empty directory.

a25716535b merge-recursive: fix verbose output for multiple base trees
One of the indirect callers of make_virtual_commit() passes the result of
oid_to_hex() as the name, i.e. a pointer to a static buffer.  Since the
function uses that string pointer directly in building a struct
merge_remote_desc, multiple entries can end up sharing the same name
inadvertently.

Fix that by calling set_merge_remote_desc(), which creates a copy of the
string, instead of building the struct by hand.

6999bc7074 merge-recursive: flush output buffer even when erroring out
Ever since 66a155b (Enable output buffering in merge-recursive.,
2007-01-14), we had a problem: When the merge failed in a fatal way, all
regular output was swallowed because we called die() and did not get a
chance to drain the output buffers.

To fix this, several modifications were necessary:

- we needed to stop die()ing, to give callers a chance to do something
  when an error occurred (in this case, flush the output buffers),

- we needed to delay printing the error message so that the caller can
  print the buffered output before that, and

- we needed to make sure that the output buffers are flushed even when
  the return value indicates an error.

The first two changes were introduced through earlier commits in this
patch series, and this commit addresses the third one.

548009c0d5 merge_trees(): ensure that the callers release output buffer
The recursive merge machinery accumulates its output in an output
buffer, to be flushed at the end of merge_recursive(). At this point,
we forgot to release the output buffer.

When calling merge_trees() (i.e. the non-recursive part of the recursive
merge) directly, the output buffer is never flushed because the caller
may be merge_recursive() which wants to flush the output itself.

For the same reason, merge_trees() cannot release the output buffer: it
may still be needed.

Forgetting to release the output buffer did not matter much when running
git-checkout, or git-merge-recursive, because we exited after the
operation anyway. Ever since cherry-pick learned to pick a commit range,
however, this memory leak had the potential of becoming a problem.

Since 66a155b (Enable output buffering in merge-recursive., 2007-01-14),
we already accumulate the output in a buffer. The idea was to avoid
interfering with the progress output that goes to stderr, which is
unbuffered, when we write to stdout, which is buffered.

We extend that buffering to allow the caller to handle the output
(possibly suppressing it). This will help us when extending the
sequencer to do rebase -i's brunt work: it does not want the picks to
print anything by default but instead determine itself whether to print
the output or not.

Note that we also redirect the error messages into the output buffer
when the caller asked not to flush the output buffer, for two reasons:
1) to retain the correct output order, and 2) to allow the caller to
suppress *all* output.

dde75cb056 merge-recursive: write the commit title in one go
In 66a155b (Enable output buffering in merge-recursive., 2007-01-14), we
changed the code such that it prints the output in one go, to avoid
interfering with the progress output.

Let's make sure that the same holds true when outputting the commit
title: previously, we used several printf() statements to stdout and
assumed that stdout's buffer is large enough to hold the entire
commit title.

Apart from making that speculation unnecessary, we change the code to
add the message to the output buffer before flushing for another reason:
the next commit will introduce a new level of output buffering, where
the caller can request the output not to be flushed, but to be retained
for further processing.

This latter feature will be needed when teaching the sequencer to do
rebase -i's brunt work: it wants to control the output of the
cherry-picks (i.e. recursive merges).

bc9204d4ef merge-recursive: flush output buffer before printing error messages
The data structure passed to the recursive merge machinery has a feature
where the caller can ask for the output to be buffered into a strbuf, by
setting the field 'buffer_output'.

Previously, we died without flushing, losing accumulated output.  With
this patch, we show the output first, and only then print the error
message.

Currently, the only user of that buffering is merge_recursive() itself,
to avoid the progress output to interfere.

In the next patches, we will introduce a new buffer_output mode that
forces merge_recursive() to retain the output buffer for further
processing by the caller. If the caller asked for that, we will then
also write the error messages into the output buffer. This is necessary
to give the caller more control not only how to react in case of errors
but also control how/if to display the error messages.

6003303a1e merge-recursive: switch to returning errors instead of dying
The recursive merge machinery is supposed to be a library function, i.e.
it should return an error when it fails. Originally the functions were
part of the builtin "merge-recursive", though, where it was simpler to
call die() and be done with error handling.

The existing callers were already prepared to detect negative return
values to indicate errors and to behave as previously: exit with code 128
(which is the same thing that die() does, after printing the message).

75456f96d4 merge-recursive: handle return values indicating errors
We are about to libify the recursive merge machinery, where we only
die() in case of a bug or memory contention. To that end, we must heed
negative return values as indicating errors.

This requires our functions to be careful to pass through error
conditions in call chains, and for quite a few functions this means
that they have to return values to begin with.

The next step will be to convert the places where we currently die() to
return negative values (read: -1) instead.

Note that we ignore errors reported by make_room_for_path(), consistent
with the previous behavior (update_file_flags() used the return value of
make_room_for_path() only to indicate an early return, but not a fatal
error): if the error is really a fatal error, we will notice later; If
not, it was not that serious a problem to begin with. (Witnesses in
favor of this reasoning are t4151-am-abort and t7610-mergetool, which
would start failing if we stopped on errors reported by
make_room_for_path()).

Also note: while this patch makes the code slightly less readable in
update_file_flags() (we introduce a new "goto free_buf;" instead of
an explicit "free(buf); return;"), it is a preparatory change for
the next patch where we will convert all of the die() calls in the same
function to go through the free_buf return path instead.

3c8a51e89a merge-recursive: avoid returning a wholesale struct
It is technically allowed, as per C89, for functions' return type to
be complete structs (i.e. *not* just pointers to structs).

However, it was just an oversight of this developer when converting
Python code to C code in 6d297f8 (Status update on merge-recursive in
C, 2006-07-08) which introduced such a return type.

Besides, by converting this construct to pass in the struct, we can now
start returning a value that can indicate errors in future patches. This
will help the current effort to libify merge-recursive.c.

de8946de16 merge_recursive: abort properly upon errors
There are a couple of places where return values never indicated errors
before, as we simply died instead of returning.

But now negative return values mean that there was an error and we have to
abort the operation. Let's do exactly that.

f8d83fb66c merge-recursive: clarify code in was_tracked()
It can be puzzling to see that was_tracked() asks to get an index entry
by name, but does not take a negative return value for an answer.

The reason we have to do this is that cache_name_pos() only looks for
entries in stage 0, even if nobody asked for any stage in particular.

Let's rewrite the logic a little bit, to handle the easy case early: if
cache_name_pos() returned a non-negative position, we know it is a match,
and we do not even have to compare the name again (cache_name_pos() did
that for us already). We can say right away: yes, this file was tracked.

Only if there was no exact match do we need to look harder for any
matching entry in stage 2.

7e97e10033 die(_("BUG")): avoid translating bug messages
While working on the patch series that avoids die()ing in recursive
merges, the issue came up that bug reports (i.e. die("BUG: ...")
constructs) should never be translated, as the target audience is the
Git developer community, not necessarily the current user, and hence
a translated message would make it *harder* to address the problem.

So let's stop translating the obvious ones. As it is really, really
outside the purview of this patch series to see whether there are more
die() statements that report bugs and are currently translated, that
task is left for another day and patch.
