Junio C Hamano b9a7d55d93 Merge branch 'nd/fopen-errors'
We often try to open a file for reading whose existence is
optional, and silently ignore errors from open/fopen; report such
errors if they are not due to missing files.

* nd/fopen-errors:
  mingw_fopen: report ENOENT for invalid file names
  mingw: verify that paths are not mistaken for remote nicknames
  log: fix memory leak in open_next_file()
  rerere.c: move error_errno() closer to the source system call
  print errno when reporting a system call error
  wrapper.c: make warn_on_inaccessible() static
  wrapper.c: add and use fopen_or_warn()
  wrapper.c: add and use warn_on_fopen_errors()
  config.mak.uname: set FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES for Darwin, too
  config.mak.uname: set FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES for Linux and FreeBSD
  clone: use xfopen() instead of fopen()
  use xfopen() in more places
  git_fopen: fix a sparse 'not declared' warning

Junio C Hamano c5da34c124 Merge branch 'ab/c-translators-comment-style'
Update the C style recommendation for notes for translators, as
recent versions of gettext tools can work with our style of
multi-line comments.

* ab/c-translators-comment-style:
  C style: use standard style for "TRANSLATORS" comments

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 66f5f6dca9 C style: use standard style for "TRANSLATORS" comments
Change all the "TRANSLATORS: [...]" comments in the C code to use the
regular Git coding style, and amend the style guide so that the
example there uses that style.

This custom style was necessary back in 2010 when the gettext support
was initially added, and was subsequently documented in commit
cbcfd4e3ea ("i18n: mention "TRANSLATORS:" marker in
Documentation/CodingGuidelines", 2014-04-18).

GNU xgettext hasn't had the parsing limitation that necessitated this
exception for almost 3 years. Since its 0.19 release on 2014-06-02
it's been able to recognize TRANSLATOR comments in the standard Git
comment syntax[1].

Usually we'd like to keep compatibility with software that's that
young, but in this case literally the only person who needs to be
using a gettext newer than 3 years old is Jiang Xin (the only person
who runs & commits "make pot" results), so I think in this case we can
make an exception.

This xgettext parsing feature was added after a thread on the Git
mailing list[2] which continued on the bug-gettext[3] list, but we
never subsequently changed our style & styleguide, do so.

There are already longstanding changes in git that use the standard
comment style & have their TRANSLATORS comments extracted properly
without getting the literal "*"'s mixed up in the text, as would
happen before xgettext 0.19.

Commit 7ff2683253 ("builtin-am: implement -i/--interactive",
2015-08-04) added one such comment, which in commit df0617bfa7 ("l10n:
git.pot: v2.6.0 round 1 (123 new, 41 removed)", 2015-09-05) got picked
up in the po/git.pot file with the right format, showing that Jiang
already runs a modern xgettext.

The xgettext parser does not handle the sort of non-standard comment
style that I'm amending here in sequencer.c, but that isn't standard
Git comment syntax anyway. With this change to sequencer.c & "make
pot" the comment in the pot file is now correct:

     #. TRANSLATORS: %s will be "revert", "cherry-pick" or
    -#. * "rebase -i".
    +#. "rebase -i".

brian m. carlson bc83266abe Convert lookup_commit* to struct object_id
Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die,
lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take
struct object_id arguments.

Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this
function.  This is required since in order to convert parse_object and
parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and
lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted.  Not introducing a
temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a
struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *,
leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface.

parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

Johannes Schindelin dddbad728c timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps
Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).

So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.

By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.

As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

Johannes Schindelin cb71f8bdb5 PRItime: introduce a new "printf format" for timestamps
Currently, Git's source code treats all timestamps as if they were
unsigned longs. Therefore, it is okay to write "%lu" when printing them.

There is a substantial problem with that, though: at least on Windows,
time_t is *larger* than unsigned long, and hence we will want to switch
away from the ill-specified `unsigned long` data type.

So let's introduce the pseudo format "PRItime" (currently simply being
defined to "lu") to make it easier to change the data type used for
timestamps.

brian m. carlson dc01505f7f Convert GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ used for allocation to GIT_MAX_HEXSZ
Since we will likely be introducing a new hash function at some point,
and that hash function might be longer than 40 hex characters, use the
constant GIT_MAX_HEXSZ, which is designed to be suitable for
allocations, instead of GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ.  This will ease the transition
down the line by distinguishing between places where we need to allocate
memory suitable for the largest hash from those where we need to handle
the current hash.

Jeff King 4e76832984 blame: output porcelain "previous" header for each file
It's possible for content currently found in one file to
have originated in two separate files, each of which may
have been modified in some single older commit.  The
--porcelain output generates an incorrect "previous" header
in this case, whereas --line-porcelain gets it right.  The
problem is that the porcelain output tries to omit repeated
details of commits, and treats "previous" as a property of
the commit, when it is really a property of the blamed block
of lines.

Let's look at an example. In a case like this, you might see
this output from --line-porcelain:

  SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
  author ...
  committer ...
  previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
  filename file_one
          ...some line content...
  SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
  author ...
  committer ...
  previous SOME_SHA1^ file_two
  filename file_two
          ...some different content....

The "filename" fields tell us that the two lines are from
two different files. But notice that the filename also
appears in the "previous" field, which tells us where to
start a re-blame. The second content line never appeared in
file_one at all, so we would obviously need to re-blame from
file_two (or possibly even some other file, if had just been
renamed to file_two in SOME_SHA1).

So far so good. Now here's what --porcelain looks like:

  SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
  author ...
  committer ...
  previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
  filename file_one
          ...some line content...
  SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
  filename file_two
          ...some different content....

We've dropped the author and committer fields from the
second line, as they would just be repeats.  But we can't
omit "filename", because it depends on the actual block of
blamed lines, not just the commit. This is handled by
emit_porcelain_details(), which will show the filename
either if it is the first mention of the commit _or_ if the
commit has multiple paths in it.

But we don't give "previous" the same handling. It's written
inside emit_one_suspect_detail(), which bails early if we've
already seen that commit. And so the output above is wrong;
a reader would assume that the correct place to re-blame
line two is from file_one, but that's obviously nonsense.

Let's treat "previous" the same as "filename", and show it
fresh whenever we know we are in a confusing case like this.

Jeff King ed58d8088b blame: handle --no-abbrev
You can already ask blame for full sha1s with "-l" or with
"--abbrev=40". But for consistency with other parts of Git,
we should support "--no-abbrev".

Worse, blame already accepts --no-abbrev, but it's totally
broken. When we see --no-abbrev, the abbrev variable is set
to 0, which is then used as a printf precision. For regular
sha1s, that means we print nothing at all (which is very
wrong). For boundary commits we decrement it to "-1", which
printf interprets as "no limit" (which is almost correct,
except it misses the 39-length magic explained in the
previous commit).

Let's detect --no-abbrev and behave as if --abbrev=40 was
given.

Jeff King 91229834c2 blame: fix alignment with --abbrev=40
The blame command internally adds 1 to any requested sha1
abbreviation length, and then subtracts it when outputting a
boundary commit. This lets regular and boundary sha1s line
up visually, but it misses one corner case.

When the requested length is 40, we bump the value to 41.
But since we only have 40 characters, that's all we can show
(fortunately the truncation is done by a printf precision
field, so it never tries to read past the end of the
buffer).  So a normal sha1 shows 40 hex characters, and a
boundary sha1 shows "^" plus 40 hex characters. The result
is misaligned.

The "-l" option to show long sha1s gets around this by
skipping the "abbrev" variable entirely and just always
using GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ.  This avoids the "+1" issue, but it
does mean that boundary commits only have 39 characters
printed.  This is somewhat odd, but it does look good
visually: the results are aligned and left-justified. The
alternative would be to allocate an extra column that would
contain either an extra space or the "^" boundary marker.

As this is by definition the human-readable view, it's
probably not that big a deal either way (and of course
--porcelain, etc, correctly produce correct 40-hex sha1s).
But for consistency, this patch teaches --abbrev=40 to
produce the same output as "-l" (always left-aligned, with
40-hex for normal sha1s, and "^" plus 39-hex for
boundaries).

Junio C Hamano 3cde4e02ee diff: retire "compaction" heuristics
When a patch inserts a block of lines, whose last lines are the
same as the existing lines that appear before the inserted block,
"git diff" can choose any place between these existing lines as the
boundary between the pre-context and the added lines (adjusting the
end of the inserted block as appropriate) to come up with variants
of the same patch, and some variants are easier to read than others.

We have been trying to improve the choice of this boundary, and Git
2.11 shipped with an experimental "compaction-heuristic".  Since
then another attempt to improve the logic further resulted in a new
"indent-heuristic" logic.  It is agreed that the latter gives better
result overall, and the former outlived its usefulness.

Retire "compaction", and keep "indent" as an experimental feature.
The latter hopefully will be turned on by default in a future
release, but that should be done as a separate step.

Junio C Hamano 1172e16af0 Merge branch 'jc/blame-reverse'
It is a common mistake to say "git blame --reverse OLD path",
expecting that the command line is dwimmed as if asking how lines
in path in an old revision OLD have survived up to the current
commit.

* jc/blame-reverse:
  blame: dwim "blame --reverse OLD" as "blame --reverse OLD.."
  blame: improve diagnosis for "--reverse NEW"
