gitmkstemps emulates the behavior of mkstemps, which is usually used
to create files in a shared directory like /tmp/, hence, it creates
files with permission 0600.
Add git_mkstemps_mode() that allows us to specify the desired mode, and
make git_mkstemps() a wrapper that always uses 0600 to call it. Later we
will use git_mkstemps_mode() when creating pack files.

Some configuration variables can take boolean values in addition to
enumeration specific to them. Introduce git_config_maybe_bool() that
returns 0 or 1 if the given value is boolean, or -1 if not, so that
a parser for such a variable can check for boolean first and then
parse other kinds of values as a fallback.

Scripted commands that want to use git’s configured pager know better
than ‘git var’ does whether stdout is going to be a tty at the
appropriate time. Checking isatty(1) as git_pager() does now won’t
cut it, since the output of git var itself is almost never a terminal.
The symptom is that when used by humans, ‘git var GIT_PAGER’ behaves
as it should, but when used by scripts, it always returns ‘cat’!
So avoid tricks with isatty() and just always print the configured
pager.
This does not fix the callers to check isatty(1) themselves yet.
Nevertheless, this patch alone is enough to fix 'am --interactive'.
Thanks to Sebastian Celis for the report and Jeff King for the
analysis.

approxidate_careful() reports errorneous date string
For a long time, the time based reflog syntax (e.g. master@{yesterday})
didn't complain when the "human readable" timestamp was misspelled, as
the underlying mechanism tried to be as lenient as possible. The funny
thing was that parsing of "@{now}" even relied on the fact that anything
not recognized by the machinery returned the current timestamp.
Introduce approxidate_careful() that takes an optional pointer to an
integer, that gets assigned 1 when the input does not make sense as a
timestamp.
As I am too lazy to fix all the callers that use approxidate(), most of
the callers do not take advantage of the error checking, but convert the
code to parse reflog to use it as a demonstration.
Tests are mostly from Jeff King.

This makes "subtree" more orthogonal to the rest of recursive merge, so
that you can use subtree and ours/theirs features at the same time. For
example, you can now say:
git merge -s subtree -Xtheirs other
to merge with "other" branch while shifting it up or down to match the
shape of the tree of the current branch, and resolving conflicts favoring
the changes "other" branch made over changes made in the current branch.
It also allows the prefix used to shift the trees to be specified using
the "-Xsubtree=$prefix" option. Giving an empty prefix tells the command
to figure out how much to shift trees automatically as we have always
done. "merge -s subtree" is the same as "merge -s recursive -Xsubtree="
(or "merge -s recursive -Xsubtree").
Based on an old patch done back in the days when git-merge was a script;
Avery ported the script part to builtin-merge.c. Bugs in shift_tree()
is mine.

assumed that fmt_ident() is never called before git_default_user_config()

the "default" name and email, so the check in the config parser would have
mistakenly said both are given even if only user.name was provided.

This prepares but does not yet implement a look-ahead in the index entries
when traverse-trees.c decides to give us tree entries in an order that
does not match what is in the index.
A case where a look-ahead in the index is necessary happens when merging
branch B into branch A while the index matches the current branch A, using
a tree O as their common ancestor, and these three trees looks like this:
O A B
t t
t-i t-i t-i
t-j t-j
t/1
t/2
The traverse_trees() function gets "t", "t-i" and "t" from trees O, A and
B first, and notices that A may have a matching "t" behind "t-i" and "t-j"
(indeed it does), and tells A to give that entry instead. After unpacking
blob "t" from tree B (as it hasn't changed since O in B and A removed it,
it will result in its removal), it descends into directory "t/".
The side that walked index in parallel to the tree traversal used to be
implemented with one pointer, o->pos, that points at the next index entry
to be processed. When this happens, the pointer o->pos still points at
"t-i" that is the first entry. We should be able to skip "t-i" and "t-j"
and locate "t/1" from the index while the recursive invocation of
traverse_trees() walks and match entries found there, and later come back
to process "t-i".
While that look-ahead is not implemented yet, this adds a flag bit,
CE_UNPACKED, to mark the entries in the index that has already been
processed. o->pos pointer has been renamed to o->cache_bottom and it
points at the first entry that may still need to be processed.

Commit 9e8ecea (Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset', 2008-12-01) disallowed
"git reset --merge" when there was unmerged entries. But it wished if
unmerged entries were reset as if --hard (instead of --merge) has been
used. This makes sense because all "mergy" operations makes sure that
any path involved in the merge does not have local modifications before
starting, so resetting such a path away won't lose any information.
The previous commit changed the behavior of --merge to accept resetting
unmerged entries if they are reset to a different state than HEAD, but it
did not reset the changes in the work tree, leaving the conflict markers
in the resulting file in the work tree.
Fix it by doing three things:
- Update the documentation to match the wish of original "reset --merge"
better, namely, "An unmerged entry is a sign that the path didn't have
any local modification and can be safely resetted to whatever the new
HEAD records";
- Update read_index_unmerged(), which reads the index file into the cache
while dropping any higher-stage entries down to stage #0, not to copy
the object name from the higher stage entry. The code used to take the
object name from the a stage entry ("base" if you happened to have
stage #1, or "ours" if both sides added, etc.), which essentially meant
that you are getting random results depending on what the merge did.
The _only_ reason we want to keep a previously unmerged entry in the
index at stage #0 is so that we don't forget the fact that we have
corresponding file in the work tree in order to be able to remove it
when the tree we are resetting to does not have the path. In order to
differentiate such an entry from ordinary cache entry, the cache entry
added by read_index_unmerged() is marked as CE_CONFLICTED.
- Update merged_entry() and deleted_entry() so that they pay attention to
cache entries marked as CE_CONFLICTED. They are previously unmerged
entries, and the files in the work tree that correspond to them are
resetted away by oneway_merge() to the version from the tree we are
resetting to.

The update-index plumbing command had a hacky --unresolve implementation
that was written back in the days when merge was the only way for users to
end up with higher stages in the index, and assumed that stage #2 must
have come from HEAD, stage #3 from MERGE_HEAD and didn't bother to compute
the stage #1 information.
There were several issues with this approach:
- These days, merge is not the only command, and conflicts coming from
commands like cherry-pick, "am -3", etc. cannot be recreated by looking
at MERGE_HEAD;
- For a conflict that came from a merge that had renames, picking up the
same path from MERGE_HEAD and HEAD wouldn't help recreating it, either;
- It may have been Ok not to recreate stage #1 back when it was written,
because "diff --ours/--theirs" were the only availble ways to review
conflicts and they don't need stage #1 information. "diff --cc" that
was invented much later is a lot more useful way but it needs stage #1.
We can use resolve-undo information recorded in the index extension to
solve all of these issues.

Once you resolved conflicts by "git add path", you cannot recreate the
conflicted state with "git checkout -m path", because you lost information
from higher stages in the index when you resolved them.

When resolving a conflict using "git add" to create a stage #0 entry, or
"git rm" to remove entries at higher stages, remove_index_entry_at()
function is eventually called to remove unmerged (i.e. higher stage)
entries from the index. Introduce a "resolve_undo_info" structure and
keep track of the removed cache entries, and save it in a new index
extension section in the index_state.
Operations like "read-tree -m", "merge", "checkout [-m] <branch>" and
"reset" are signs that recorded information in the index is no longer
necessary. The data is removed from the index extension when operations
start; they may leave conflicted entries in the index, and later user
actions like "git add" will record their conflicted states afresh.

Eons ago HPA taught git-daemon how to protect itself from /../
attacks, which Junio brought back into service in d79374c7b5
("daemon.c and path.enter_repo(): revamp path validation").
I did not carry this into git-http-backend as originally we relied
only upon PATH_TRANSLATED, and assumed the HTTP server had done
its access control checks to validate the resolved path was within
a directory permitting access from the remote client. This would
usually be sufficient to protect a server from requests for its
/etc/passwd file by http://host/smart/../etc/passwd sorts of URLs.
However in 917adc0360 Mark Lodato added GIT_PROJECT_ROOT as an
additional method of configuring the CGI. When this environment
variable is used the web server does not generate the final access
path and therefore may blindly pass through "/../etc/passwd"
in PATH_INFO under the assumption that "/../" might have special
meaning to the invoked CGI.
Instead of permitting these sorts of malformed path requests, we
now reject them back at the client, with an error message for the
server log. This matches git-daemon behavior.

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.
This patch has been improved by the following contributions:

get_commit_notes(): Plug memory leak when 'if' triggers, but not because of read_sha1_file() failure
When flipping commits around on topic branches, I often end up doing
this sequence:
* Run "log --oneline next..jc/frotz" to find out the first commit
on 'jc/frotz' branch not yet merged to 'next';
* Run "checkout $that_commit^" to detach HEAD to the parent of it;
* Rebuild the series on top of that commit; and
* "show-branch jc/frotz HEAD" and "diff jc/frotz HEAD" to verify.
Introduce a new syntax to "git checkout" to name the commit to switch to,
to make the first two steps easier. When the branch to switch to is
specified as A...B (you can omit either A or B but not both, and HEAD
is used instead of the omitted side), the merge base between these two
commits are computed, and if there is one unique one, we detach the HEAD
at that commit.
With this, I can say "checkout next...jc/frotz".

A local clone without hardlinks copies all objects, including dangling
ones, to the new repository. Since the mtimes are renewed, those
dangling objects cannot be pruned by "git gc --prune", even if they
would have been old enough for pruning in the original repository.
Instead, preserve mtime during copy. "git gc --prune" will then work
in the clone just like it did in the original.

In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:
- write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+ strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+ write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+ strbuf_reset(&buf);
IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,
static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
{
return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
}
and then use it like this:
- strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
- write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
- strbuf_reset(&buf);
+ write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");
Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.
Transformed via this:
perl -pi -e \
's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\
$(git grep -l 'write_in_full.*"')

People who configured trailing-space depended on it to catch both extra
white space at the end of line, and extra blank lines at the end of file.
Earlier attempt to introduce only blank-at-eof gave them an escape hatch
to keep the old behaviour, but it is a regression until they explicitly
specify the new error class.
This introduces a blank-at-eol that only catches extra white space at the
end of line, and makes the traditional trailing-space a convenient synonym
to catch both blank-at-eol and blank-at-eof. This way, people who used
trailing-space continue to catch both classes of errors.

"git apply" strips new blank lines at EOF under --whitespace=fix option,
but neigher --whitespace=warn nor --whitespace=error paid any attention to
these errors.
Introduce a new whitespace error class, blank-at-eof, to make the
whitespace error handling more consistent.
The patch adds a new "linenr" field to the struct fragment in order to
record which line the hunk started in the input file, but this is needed
solely for reporting purposes. The detection of this class of whitespace
errors cannot be done while parsing a patch like we do for all the other
classes of whitespace errors. It instead has to wait until we find where
to apply the hunk, but at that point, we do not have an access to the
original line number in the input file anymore, hence the new field.
Depending on your point of view, this may be a bugfix that makes warn and
error in line with fix. Or you could call it a new feature. The line
between them is somewhat fuzzy in this case.
Strictly speaking, triggering more errors than before is a change in
behaviour that is not backward compatible, even though the reason for the
change is because the code was not checking for an error that it should
have. People who do not want added blank lines at EOF to trigger an error
can disable the new error class.

Merlyn noticed that Documentation/install-doc-quick.sh no longer correctly
removes old installed documents when the target directory has a leading
path that is a symlink. It turns out that "checkout-index --prefix" was
broken by recent b6986d8 (git-checkout: be careful about untracked
symlinks, 2009-07-29).
I suspect has_symlink_leading_path() could learn the third parameter
(prefix that is allowed to be symlinked directories) to allow us to retire
a similar function has_dirs_only_path().
Another avenue of fixing this I considered was to get rid of base_dir and
base_dir_len from "struct checkout", and instead make "git checkout-index"
when run with --prefix mkdir the leading path and chdir in there. It
might be the best longer term solution to this issue, as the base_dir
feature is used only by that rather obscure codepath as far as I know.
But at least this patch should fix this breakage.

When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different

to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily
remove the graft and end up with a broken repository.
So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything
that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents.
As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that

It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping

As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work

adjust_shared_perm() first obtains the mode bits from lstat(2), expecting
to find what the result of applying user's umask is, and then tweaks it
as necessary. When the file to be adjusted is created with mkstemp(3),
however, the mode thusly obtained does not have anything to do with user's
umask, and we would need to start from 0444 in such a case and there is no
point running lstat(2) for such a path.

Since it doesn't actually touch its argument, this makes
sense.
However, we still want to return a non-const version (which
requires a cast) so that this:

a = find_ref_by_name(b);
works. Unfortunately, you can also silently strip the const
from a variable:
struct ref *a;
const struct ref *b;
a = find_ref_by_name(b);
This is a classic C const problem because there is no way to
say "return the type with the same constness that was passed
to us"; we provide the same semantics as standard library
functions like strchr.

Since this timestamp is used to check for racy-clean files, it is
important to keep it uptodate.
For the 'git checkout' command without the '-q' option, this make a
huge difference. Before, each and every file which was updated, was
racy-clean after the call to unpack_trees() and write_index() but
before the GIT process ended.
And because of the call to show_local_changes() in builtin-checkout.c,
we ended up reading those files back into memory, doing a SHA1 to
check if the files was really different from the index. And, of
course, no file was different.
With this fix, 'git checkout' without the '-q' option should now be
almost as fast as with the '-q' option, but not quite, as we still do
some few lstat(2) calls more without the '-q' option.

Since the filesystem ext4 is now defined as stable in Linux v2.6.28,
and ext4 supports nanonsecond resolution timestamps natively, it is
time to make USE_NSEC work as expected.
This will make racy git situations less likely to happen. For 'git
checkout' this means it will be less likely that we have to open, read
the contents of the file into RAM, and check if file is really
modified or not. The result sould be a litle less used CPU time, less
pagefaults and a litle faster program, at least for 'git checkout'.
Since the number of possible racy git situations would increase when
disks gets faster, this patch would be more and more helpfull as times
go by. For a fast Solid State Disk, this patch should be helpfull.
Note that, when file operations starts to take less than 1 nanosecond,

Notice the memmove line, where the CPU did 7710 / 277 = 27.8 cycles
per instruction, and compared to the total cycles spent inside the
source code of GIT for this command, all the memmove() calls
translates to (7710 * 100) / 14775 = 52.2% of this.
Retesting with a GIT program compiled for gcov usage, I found out that
the memmove() calls came from remove_index_entry_at() in read-cache.c,
where we have:
memmove(istate->cache + pos,
istate->cache + pos + 1,
(istate->cache_nr - pos) * sizeof(struct cache_entry *));
remove_index_entry_at() is called 4902 times from check_updates() in
unpack-trees.c, and each time called we move each cache_entry pointers
(from the removed one) one step to the left.
Since we have 28828 entries in the cache this time, and if we on
average move half of them each time, we in total move approximately
4902 * 0.5 * 28828 * 4 = 282 629 712 bytes, or twice this amount if
each pointer is 8 bytes (64 bit).
OK, is seems that the function check_updates() is called 28 times, so
the estimated guess above had been more correct if check_updates() had
been called only once, but the point is: we get lots of bytes moved.
To fix this, and use an O(N) algorithm instead, where N is the number
of cache_entries, we delete/remove all entries in one loop through all
entries.
From a retest, the new remove_marked_cache_entries() from the patch
below, ended up with the following output line from oprofile:
46 0.0105 15 0.0041 git remove_marked_cache_entries
If we can trust the numbers from oprofile in this case, we saved
approximately ((7710 - 46) * 20000) / (2 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000) = 0.077
seconds CPU time with this fix for this particular test. And notice
that now the CPU did only 46 / 15 = 3.1 cycles/instruction.

In some cases it could maybe be necessary to say to the cache that

The create_directories() function in entry.c currently calls stat()
or lstat() for each path component of the pathname 'path' each and every
time. For the 'git checkout' command, this function is called on each
file for which we must do an update (ce->ce_flags & CE_UPDATE), so we get
lots and lots of calls.
To fix this, we make a new wrapper to the lstat_cache() function, and
call the wrapper function instead of the calls to the stat() or the
lstat() functions. Since the paths given to the create_directories()
function, is sorted alphabetically, the new wrapper would be very
cache effective in this situation.
To support it we must update the lstat_cache() function to be able to
say that "please test the complete length of 'name'", and also to give
it the length of a prefix, where the cache should use the stat()
function instead of the lstat() function to test each path component.

In some cases, especially inside the unpack-trees.c file, and inside

lstat(), if the lstat_cache() function can also be told to keep track
of non-existing directories.
So we update the lstat_cache() function to handle this new fact,
introduce a new wrapper function, and the result is that we save lots
of lstat() calls for a removed directory which previously contained
lots of files, when we call this new wrapper of lstat_cache() instead
of the old one.
We do similar changes inside the unlink_entry() function, since if we
can already say that the leading directory component of a pathname
does not exist, it is not necessary to try to remove a pathname below
it!

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

Earlier commit 5521883 (checkout: do not lose staged removal, 2008-09-07)
tightened the rule to prevent switching branches from losing local
changes, so that staged removal of paths can be protected, while
attempting to keep a loophole to still allow a special case of switching
out of an un-checked-out state.
However, the loophole was made a bit too tight, and did not allow
switching from one branch (in an un-checked-out state) to check out
another branch.
The change to builtin-checkout.c in this commit loosens it to allow this,
by not insisting the original commit and the new commit to be the same.
It also introduces a new function, is_index_unborn (and an associated
macro, is_cache_unborn), to check if the repository is truly in an
un-checked-out state more reliably, by making sure that $GIT_INDEX_FILE
did not exist when populating the in-core index structure. A few places
the earlier commit 5521883 added the check for the initial checkout
condition are updated to use this function.

Abstract
--------
With index v2 we have a per object CRC to allow quick and safe reuse of
pack data when repacking. This, however, doesn't currently prevent a
stealth corruption from being propagated into a new pack when _not_
reusing pack data as demonstrated by the modification to t5302 included
here.
The Context
-----------
The Git database is all checksummed with SHA1 hashes. Any kind of
corruption can be confirmed by verifying this per object hash against
corresponding data. However this can be costly to perform systematically
and therefore this check is often not performed at run time when
accessing the object database.
First, the loose object format is entirely compressed with zlib which
already provide a CRC verification of its own when inflating data. Any
disk corruption would be caught already in this case.
Then, packed objects are also compressed with zlib but only for their
actual payload. The object headers and delta base references are not
deflated for obvious performance reasons, however this leave them
vulnerable to potentially undetected disk corruptions. Object types
are often validated against the expected type when they're requested,
and deflated size must always match the size recorded in the object header,
so those cases are pretty much covered as well.
Where corruptions could go unnoticed is in the delta base reference.
Of course, in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the odds for a SHA1 reference to
get corrupted so it actually matches the SHA1 of another object with the
same size (the delta header stores the expected size of the base object
to apply against) are virtually zero. In the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case, the
reference is a pack offset which would have to match the start boundary
of a different base object but still with the same size, and although this
is relatively much more "probable" than in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the
probability is also about zero in absolute terms. Still, the possibility
exists as demonstrated in t5302 and is certainly greater than a SHA1
collision, especially in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case which is now the default
when repacking.
Again, repacking by reusing existing pack data is OK since the per object
CRC provided by index v2 guards against any such corruptions. What t5302
failed to test is a full repack in such case.
The Solution
------------
As unlikely as this kind of stealth corruption can be in practice, it
certainly isn't acceptable to propagate it into a freshly created pack.
But, because this is so unlikely, we don't want to pay the run time cost
associated with extra validation checks all the time either. Furthermore,
consequences of such corruption in anything but repacking should be rather
visible, and even if it could be quite unpleasant, it still has far less
severe consequences than actively creating bad packs.
So the best compromize is to check packed object CRC when unpacking
objects, and only during the compression/writing phase of a repack, and
only when not streaming the result. The cost of this is minimal (less
than 1% CPU time), and visible only with a full repack.
Someone with a stats background could provide an objective evaluation of
this, but I suspect that it's bad RAM that has more potential for data
corruptions at this point, even in those cases where this extra check
is not performed. Still, it is best to prevent a known hole for
corruption when recreating object data into a new pack.
What about the streamed pack case? Well, any client receiving a pack
must always consider that pack as untrusty and perform full validation
anyway, hence no such stealth corruption could be propagated to remote
repositoryes already. It is therefore worthless doing local validation
in that case.

If a file is different between the working tree copy, the index, and the
HEAD, then we do not allow it to be deleted without --force.
However, this is overly tight in the face of "git add --intent-to-add":
$ git add --intent-to-add file
$ : oops, I don't actually want to stage that yet
$ git rm --cached file
error: 'empty' has staged content different from both the
file and the HEAD (use -f to force removal)
$ git rm -f --cached file
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to distinguish between an empty
file that has been added and an "intent to add" file. The ideal behavior
would be to disallow the former while allowing the latter.
This patch loosens the safety valve to allow the deletion only if we are
deleting the cached entry and the cached content is empty. This covers
the intent-to-add situation, and assumes there is little harm in not
protecting users who have legitimately added an empty file. In many
cases, the file will still be empty, in which case the safety valve does
not trigger anyway (since the content remains untouched in the working
tree). Otherwise, we do remove the fact that no content was staged, but
given that the content is by definition empty, it is not terribly
difficult for a user to recreate it.
However, we still document the desired behavior in the form of two
tests. One checks the correct removal of an intent-to-add file. The other
checks that we still disallow removal of empty files, but is marked as
expect_failure to indicate this compromise. If the intent-to-add feature
is ever extended to differentiate between normal empty files and
intent-to-add files, then the safety valve can be re-tightened.

submodule directories were not actually reported by
read_directory. So the bug was only triggered in the
presence of a submodule _and_ this config option.
This patch pulls the ls-files code into a new function,
cache_name_is_other, and uses it in both places. This should
leave the ls-files functionality the same and fix the bug
in status.

The on-disk format of index only saves 16 bit flags, nearly all have
been used. The last bit (CE_EXTENDED) is used to for future extension.
This patch extends index entry format to save more flags in future.
The new entry format will be used when CE_EXTENDED bit is 1.
Because older implementation may not understand CE_EXTENDED bit and
misread the new format, if there is any extended entry in index, index
header version will turn 3, which makes it incompatible for older git.
If there is none, header version will return to 2 again.

This is because openssl header files are always included in
git-compat-util.h since commit 684ec6c63c whenever NO_OPENSSL is not
set, which somehow brings in <openssl/sha1.h> clashing with the custom
ARM version. Compilation of git is probably broken on PPC too for the
same reason.
Turns out that the only file requiring openssl/ssl.h and openssl/err.h
is imap-send.c. But only moving those problematic includes there
doesn't solve the issue as it also includes cache.h which brings in the
conflicting local SHA1 header file.
As suggested by Jeff King, the best solution is to rename our references
to SHA1 functions and structure to something git specific, and define those
according to the implementation used.

Earlier, when pushing into a repository that borrows from alternate object
stores, we followed the longstanding design decision not to trust refs in
the alternate repository that houses the object store we are borrowing
from. If your public repository is borrowing from Linus's public
repository, you pushed into it long time ago, and now when you try to push
your updated history that is in sync with more recent history from Linus,
you will end up sending not just your own development, but also the
changes you acquired through Linus's tree, even though the objects needed
for the latter already exists at the receiving end. This is because the
receiving end does not advertise that the objects only reachable from the
borrowed repository (i.e. Linus's) are already available there.
This solves the issue by making the receiving end advertise refs from
borrowed repositories. They are not sent with their true names but with a
phoney name ".have" to make sure that the old senders will safely ignore
them (otherwise, the old senders will misbehave, trying to push matching
refs, and mirror push that deletes refs that only exist at the receiving
end).
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
"git push" enhancement allows the receiving end to report not only its own
refs but refs in repositories it borrows from via the alternate object
store mechanism. By telling the sender that objects reachable from these
extra refs are already complete in the receiving end, the number of
objects that need to be transfered can be cut down.
These entries are sent over the wire with string ".have", instead of the
actual names of the refs. This string was chosen so that they are ignored
by older programs at the sending end. If we sent some random but valid
looking refnames for these entries, "matching refs" rule (triggered when
running "git push" without explicit refspecs, where the sender learns what
refs the receiver has, and updates only the ones with the names of the
refs the sender also has) and "delete missing" rule (triggered when "git
push --mirror" is used, where the sender tells the receiver to delete the
refs it itself does not have) would try to update/delete them, which is
not what we want.
This prepares the send-pack (and "push" that runs native protocol) to
accept extended existing ref information and make use of it. The ".have"
entries are excluded from ref matching rules, and are exempt from deletion
rule while pushing with --mirror option, but are still used for pack
generation purposes by providing more "bottom" range commits.

This adds "--intent-to-add" option to "git add". This is to let the
system know that you will tell it the final contents to be staged later,
iow, just be aware of the presense of the path with the type of the blob
for now. It is implemented by staging an empty blob as the content.
With this sequence:
$ git reset --hard
$ edit newfile
$ git add -N newfile
$ edit newfile oldfile
$ git diff
the diff will show all changes relative to the current commit. Then you
can do:
$ git commit -a ;# commit everything
or
$ git commit oldfile ;# only oldfile, newfile not yet added
to pretend you are working with an index-free system like CVS.

unpack_trees(): protect the handcrafted in-core index from read_cache()
git-p4: Fix one-liner in p4_write_pipe function.
Completion: add missing '=' for 'diff --diff-filter'
Fix 'git help help'
unpack_trees() rebuilds the in-core index from scratch by allocating a new
structure and finishing it off by copying the built one to the final
index.
The resulting in-core index is Ok for most use, but read_cache() does not
recognize it as such. The function is meant to be no-op if you already
have loaded the index, until you call discard_cache().
This change the way read_cache() detects an already initialized in-core
index, by introducing an extra bit, and marks the handcrafted in-core
index as initialized, to avoid this problem.
A better fix in the longer term would be to change the read_cache() API so
that it will always discard and re-read from the on-disk index to avoid
confusion. But there are higher level API that have relied on the current
semantics, and they and their users all need to get converted, which is
outside the scope of 'maint' track.
An example of such a higher level API is write_cache_as_tree(), which is
used by git-write-tree as well as later Porcelains like git-merge, revert
and cherry-pick. In the longer term, we should remove read_cache() from
there and add one to cmd_write_tree(); other callers expect that the
in-core index they prepared is what gets written as a tree so no other
change is necessary for this particular codepath.
The original version of this patch marked the index by pointing an
otherwise wasted malloc'ed memory with o->result.alloc, but this version
uses Linus's idea to use a new "initialized" bit, which is conceptually
much cleaner.

The rewrite of git-mv from a shell script to a builtin was perhaps
a little too straightforward: the git add and git rm queues were
emulated directly, which resulted in a rather complicated code and
caused an inconsistent behaviour when moving dirty index entries;
git mv would update the entry based on working tree state,
except in case of overwrites, where the new entry would still have
sha1 of the old file.
This patch introduces rename_index_entry_at() into the index toolkit,
which will rename an entry while removing any entries the new entry
might render duplicate. This is then used in git mv instead
of all the file queues, resulting in a major simplification
of the code and an inevitable change in git mv -n output format.
Also the code used to refuse renaming overwriting symlink with a regular
file and vice versa; there is no need for that.
A few new tests have been added to the testsuite to reflect this change.

"git update-index --refresh", "git reset" and "git add --refresh" have
reported paths that have local modifications as "needs update" since the
beginning of git.
Although this is logically correct in that you need to update the index at
that path before you can commit that change, it is now becoming more and
more clear, especially with the continuous push for user friendliness
since 1.5.0 series, that the message is suboptimal. After all, the change
may be something the user might want to get rid of, and "updating" would
be absolutely a wrong thing to do if that is the case.
I prepared two alternatives to solve this. Both aim to reword the message
to more neutral "locally modified".
This patch is a more intrusive variant that changes the message for only
Porcelain commands ("add" and "reset") while keeping the plumbing
"update-index" intact.

Since commit 8eca0b47ff, it is possible
for read_sha1_file() to return NULL even with existing objects when they
are corrupted. Previously a corrupted object would have terminated the
program immediately, effectively making read_sha1_file() return NULL
only when specified object is not found.
Let's restore this behavior for all users of read_sha1_file() and
provide a separate function with the ability to not terminate when
bad objects are encountered.
