Junio C Hamano de91daf5e6 Merge branch 'jn/add-2.0-u-A-sans-pathspec' (early part)
In Git 2.0, "git add -u" and "git add -A" without any pathspec will
update the index for all paths, including those outside the current
directory, making it more consistent with "commit -a".  To help the
migration pain, a warning is issued when the differences between the
current behaviour and the upcoming behaviour matters, i.e. when the
user has local changes outside the current directory.

* 'jn/add-2.0-u-A-sans-pathspec' (early part):
  add -A: only show pathless 'add -A' warning when changes exist outside cwd
  add -u: only show pathless 'add -u' warning when changes exist outside cwd

Extract the read_index_data() function from attr.c and move it to
read-cache.c; rename it to read_blob_data_from_index() and update
the function signature of it to align better with index/cache API

This allows for reusing the function in convert.c later.

All calls to set_shared_perm() use mode == 0, so simplify the

Because all callers use the macro adjust_shared_perm(path) from

Since path.c has much more functions than just mkpath() these days,
drop the stale comment about it.

Jonathan Nieder 71c7b0538f add -u: only show pathless 'add -u' warning when changes exist outside cwd
A common workflow in large projects is to chdir into a subdirectory of
interest and only do work there:

	cd src
	vi foo.c
	make test
	git add -u
	git commit

The upcoming change to 'git add -u' behavior would not affect such a
workflow: when the only changes present are in the current directory,
'git add -u' will add all changes, and whether that happens via an
implicit "." or implicit ":/" parameter is an unimportant
implementation detail.

The warning about use of 'git add -u' with no pathspec is annoying
because it seemingly serves no purpose in this case.  So suppress the
warning unless there are changes outside the cwd that are not being
added.

A previous version of this patch ran two I/O-intensive diff-files
passes: one to find changes outside the cwd, and another to find
changes to add to the index within the cwd.  This version runs one
full-tree diff and decides for each change whether to add it or warn
and suppress it in update_callback.  As a result, even on very large
repositories "git add -u" will not be significantly slower than the
future default behavior ("git add -u :/"), and the slowdown relative
to "git add -u ." should be a useful clue to users of such
repositories to get into the habit of explicitly passing '.'.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy e721c1544f checkout: avoid unnecessary match_pathspec calls
In checkout_paths() we do this

 - for all updated items, call match_pathspec
 - for all items, call match_pathspec (inside unmerge_cache)
 - for all items, call match_pathspec (for showing "path .. is unmerged)
 - for updated items, call match_pathspec and update paths

That's a lot of duplicate match_pathspec(s) and the function is not
exactly cheap to be called so many times, especially on large indexes.
This patch makes it call match_pathspec once per updated index entry,
save the result in ce_flags and reuse the results in the following
loops.

The changes in 0a1283b (checkout $tree $path: do not clobber local
changes in $path not in $tree - 2011-09-30) limit the affected paths
to ones we read from $tree. We do not do anything to other modified
entries in this case, so the "for all items" above could be modified
to "for all updated items". But..

The command's behavior now is modified slightly: unmerged entries that
match $path, but not updated by $tree, are now NOT touched.  Although
this should be considered a bug fix, not a regression. A new test is
added for this change.

And while at there, free ps_matched after use.

The following command is tested on webkit, 215k entries. The pattern
is chosen mainly to make match_pathspec sweat:

git checkout -- "*[a-zA-Z]*[a-zA-Z]*[a-zA-Z]*"

        before      after

René Scharfe c3c2e1a09b archive-zip: use deflateInit2() to ask for raw compressed data
We use the function git_deflate_init() -- which wraps the zlib function
deflateInit() -- to initialize compression of ZIP file entries.  This
results in compressed data prefixed with a two-bytes long header and
followed by a four-bytes trailer.  ZIP file entries consist of ZIP
headers and raw compressed data instead, so we remove the zlib wrapper
before writing the result.

We can ask zlib for the the raw compressed data without the unwanted
parts in the first place by using deflateInit2() and specifying a
negative number of bits to size the window.  For that purpose, factor
out the function do_git_deflate_init() and add git_deflate_init_raw(),
which wraps it.  Then use the latter in archive-zip.c and get rid of
the code that stripped the zlib header and trailer.

Also rename the helper function zlib_deflate() to zlib_deflate_raw()
to reflect the change.

Thus we avoid generating data that we throw away anyway, the code
becomes shorter and some magic constants are removed.

Jeff King 2cd83d10bb setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare repos
If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we
implicitly assume that the current working directory should
be used as the working tree. E.g.,:

  GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status

would compare against the cwd.

Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git
by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example:

  git init foo
  cd foo/.git
  git status ;# fails, as we expect
  git config alias.st status
  git status ;# does not fail, but should

What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing
alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR
as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we
do not have one). Then when we actually run the status
command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our
explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree.

It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that
second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use
the values we already found in memory. However, the problem
still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were
an external command).

You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which
sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example:

  git init foo
  cd foo/.git
  git status ;# fails
  git --bare status ;# does NOT fail

We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though
GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree".
We could do it by putting a special token into
GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has
some portability problems.

Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE,
which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when
GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we
are in a bare setting.

The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is
an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up
with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident
we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting
it further.

Jeff King a6f7f9a325 environment: add GIT_PREFIX to local_repo_env
The GIT_PREFIX variable is set based on our location within
the working tree. It should therefore be cleared whenever
GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared.

In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of
the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared
actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing
to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing.

While we're at it, let's define a GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT
macro; this avoids repetition of the string literal, which
can help catch any spelling mistakes in the code.

Jeff King 2163e5dbb4 cache.h: drop LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE
We keep a static array of variables that should be cleared
when invoking a sub-process on another repo. We statically
size the array with the LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE macro so that
any readers do not have to count it themselves.

As it turns out, no readers actually use the macro, and it
creates a maintenance headache, as modifications to the
array need to happen in two places (one to add the new
element, and another to bump the size).

Since it's NULL-terminated, we can just drop the size macro
entirely. While we're at it, we'll clean up some comments
around it, and add a new mention of it at the top of the
list of environment variable macros. Even though
local_repo_env is right below that list, it's easy to miss,
and additions to that list should consider local_repo_env.

Karsten Blees 2092678cd5 name-hash.c: fix endless loop with core.ignorecase=true
With core.ignorecase=true, name-hash.c builds a case insensitive index of
all tracked directories. Currently, the existing cache entry structures are
added multiple times to the same hashtable (with different name lengths and
hash codes). However, there's only one dir_next pointer, which gets
completely messed up in case of hash collisions. In the worst case, this
causes an endless loop if ce == ce->dir_next (see t7062).

Use a separate hashtable and separate structures for the directory index
so that each directory entry has its own next pointer. Use reference
counting to track which directory entry contains files.

There are only slight changes to the name-hash.c API:
- new free_name_hash() used by read_cache.c::discard_index()
- remove_name_hash() takes an additional index_state parameter
- index_name_exists() for a directory (trailing '/') may return a cache
  entry that has been removed (CE_UNHASHED). This is not a problem as the
  return value is only used to check if the directory exists (dir.c) or to
  normalize casing of directory names (read-cache.c).

Getting rid of cache_entry.dir_next reduces memory consumption, especially
with core.ignorecase=false (which doesn't use that member at all).

With core.ignorecase=true, building the directory index is slightly faster
as we add / check the parent directory first (instead of going through all
directory levels for each file in the index). E.g. with WebKit (~200k
files, ~7k dirs), time spent in lazy_init_name_hash is reduced from 176ms
to 130ms.

Junio C Hamano 75e5c0dc55 push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCE
When we push to update an existing ref, if:

 * the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
 * the object we are pushing is not a commit,

it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge".  We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.

If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged.  In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time.  And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage.  As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.

In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.

Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

Robin Rosenberg c08e4d5b5c Enable minimal stat checking
Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also
somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms
the resolution of the timestamps may differ.

Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may
be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.

This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the
the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size
and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

Junio C Hamano 256b9d70a4 push: fix "refs/tags/ hierarchy cannot be updated without --force"
When pushing to update a branch with a commit that is not a
descendant of the commit at the tip, a wrong message "already
exists" was given, instead of the correct "non-fast-forward", if we
do not have the object sitting in the destination repository at the
tip of the ref we are updating.

The primary cause of the bug is that the check in a new helper
function is_forwardable() assumed both old and new objects are
available and can be checked, which is not always the case.

The way the caller uses the result of this function is also wrong.
If the helper says "we do not want to let this push go through", the
caller unconditionally translates it into "we blocked it because the
destination already exists", which is not true at all in this case.

Fix this by doing these three things:

 * Remove unnecessary not_forwardable from "struct ref"; it is only
   used inside set_ref_status_for_push();

 * Make "refs/tags/" the only hierarchy that cannot be replaced
   without --force;

 * Remove the misguided attempt to force that everything that
   updates an existing ref has to be a commit outside "refs/tags/"
   hierarchy.

The policy last one tried to implement may later be resurrected and
extended to ensure fast-forwardness (defined as "not losing
objects", extending from the traditional "not losing commits from
the resulting history") when objects that are not commit are
involved (e.g. an annotated tag in hierarchies outside refs/tags),
but such a logic belongs to "is this a fast-forward?" check that is
done by ref_newer(); is_forwardable(), which is now removed, was not
the right place to do so.

Junio C Hamano eff80a9fd9 Allow custom "comment char"
Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message.  Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.

The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users.  They have a choice between

 - Don't do it.  Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and

 - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.

Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.

    $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit

so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

[jc: although I started the topic, all the tests and documentation
updates, many of the call sites of the new strbuf_add_commented_*()
functions, and the change to git-submodule.sh scripted Porcelain are
from Ralf.]

Max Horn 5ded807f7c fix clang -Wunused-value warnings for error functions
Commit a469a10 wraps some error calls in macros to give the
compiler a chance to do more static analysis on their
constant -1 return value.  We limit the use of these macros
to __GNUC__, since gcc is the primary beneficiary of the new
information, and because we use GNU features for handling
variadic macros.

However, clang also defines __GNUC__, but generates warnings
with -Wunused-value when these macros are used in a void
context, because the constant "-1" ends up being useless.
Gcc does not complain about this case (though it is unclear
if it is because it is smart enough to see what we are
doing, or too dumb to realize that the -1 is unused).  We
can squelch the warning by just disabling these macros when
clang is in use.

Jeff King 823ab40fd4 add global --literal-pathspecs option
Git takes pathspec arguments in many places to limit the
scope of an operation. These pathspecs are treated not as
literal paths, but as glob patterns that can be fed to
fnmatch. When a user is giving a specific pattern, this is a
nice feature.

However, when programatically providing pathspecs, it can be
a nuisance. For example, to find the latest revision which
modified "$foo", one can use "git rev-list -- $foo". But if
"$foo" contains glob characters (e.g., "f*"), it will
erroneously match more entries than desired. The caller
needs to quote the characters in $foo, and even then, the
results may not be exactly the same as with a literal
pathspec. For instance, the depth checks in
match_pathspec_depth do not kick in if we match via fnmatch.

This patch introduces a global command-line option (i.e.,
one for "git" itself, not for specific commands) to turn
this behavior off. It also has a matching environment
variable, which can make it easier if you are a script or
porcelain interface that is going to issue many such
commands.

This option cannot turn off globbing for particular
pathspecs. That could eventually be done with a ":(noglob)"
magic pathspec prefix. However, that level of granularity is
more cumbersome to use for many cases, and doing ":(noglob)"
right would mean converting the whole codebase to use
"struct pathspec", as the usual "const char **pathspec"
cannot represent extra per-item flags.

Jeff King a469a10193 silence some -Wuninitialized false positives
There are a few error functions that simply wrap error() and
provide a standardized message text. Like error(), they
always return -1; knowing that can help the compiler silence
some false positive -Wuninitialized warnings.

One strategy would be to just declare these as inline in the
header file so that the compiler can see that they always
return -1. However, gcc does not always inline them (e.g.,
it will not inline opterror, even with -O3), which renders
our change pointless.

Instead, let's follow the same route we did with error() in
the last patch, and define a macro that makes the constant
return value obvious to the compiler.

Chris Rorvick dbfeddb12e push: require force for refs under refs/tags/
References are allowed to update from one commit-ish to another if the
former is an ancestor of the latter.  This behavior is oriented to
branches which are expected to move with commits.  Tag references are
expected to be static in a repository, though, thus an update to
something under refs/tags/ should be rejected unless the update is
forced.
