Rubén Justo a675ad1708 branch: rename orphan branches in any worktree
In cfaff3aac (branch -m: allow renaming a yet-unborn branch, 2020-12-13)
we added support for renaming an orphan branch when that branch is
checked out in the current worktree.

Let's also allow renaming an orphan branch checked out in a worktree
different than the current one.

Rubén Justo 2e8af499ff branch: test for failures while renaming branches
When we introduced replace_each_worktree_head_symref() in 70999e9cec
(branch -m: update all per-worktree HEADs, 2016-03-27), we implemented a
best effort approach.

If we are asked to rename a branch that is simultaneously checked out in
multiple worktrees, we try to update all of those worktrees.  If we fail
updating any of them, we die() as a signal that something has gone
wrong.  However, at this point, the branch ref has already been renamed
and also updated the HEADs of the successfully updated worktrees.
Despite returning an error, we do not try to rollback those changes.

Let's add a test to notice if we change this behavior in the future.

In next commits we will change replace_each_worktree_head_symref() to
work more closely with its only caller, copy_or_rename_branch().  Let's
move the former closer to its caller, to facilitate those changes.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 0cd1a8818d tests: don't lose exit status with "(cd ...; test <op> $(git ...))"
Rewrite tests that ran "git" inside command substitution and lost the
exit status of "git" so that we notice the failing "git".

Have them use modern patterns such as a "test_cmp" of the expected
outputs instead.

We'll fix more of these these in the subsequent commit, for now we're
only converting the cases where this loss of exit code was combined
with spawning a sub-shell.

Jeff King eb20e63f5a branch: gracefully handle '-d' on orphan HEAD
When deleting a branch, "git branch -d" has a safety check that ensures
the branch is merged to its upstream (if any), or to HEAD. To do that,
naturally we try to resolve HEAD to a commit object. If we're on an
orphan branch (i.e., HEAD points to a branch that does not yet exist),
that will fail, and we'll bail with an error:

  $ git branch -d to-delete
  fatal: Couldn't look up commit object for HEAD

This usually isn't that big of a deal. The deletion would fail anyway,
since the branch isn't merged to HEAD, and you'd need to use "-D" (or
"-f"). And doing so skips the HEAD resolution, courtesy of 67affd5173
(git-branch -D: make it work even when on a yet-to-be-born branch,
2006-11-24).

But there are still two problems:

  1. The error message isn't very helpful. We should give the usual "not
     fully merged" message, which points the user at "branch -D". That
     was a problem even back in 67affd5173.

  2. Even without a HEAD, these days it's still possible for the
     deletion to succeed. After 67affd5173, commit 99c419c915 (branch
     -d: base the "already-merged" safety on the branch it merges with,
     2009-12-29) made it OK to delete a branch if it is merged to its
     upstream.

We can fix both by removing the die() in delete_branches() completely,
leaving head_rev NULL in this case. It's tempting to stop there, as it
appears at first glance that the rest of the code does the right thing
with a NULL. But sadly, it's not quite true.

We end up feeding the NULL to repo_is_descendant_of(). In the
traditional code path there, we call repo_in_merge_bases_many(). It
feeds the NULL to repo_parse_commit(), which is smart enough to return
an error, and we immediately return "no, it's not a descendant".

But there's an alternate code path: if we have a commit graph with
generation numbers, we end up in can_all_from_reach(), which does
eventually try to set a flag on the NULL commit and segfaults.

So instead, we'll teach the local branch_merged() helper to treat a NULL
as "not merged". This would be a little more elegant in in_merge_bases()
itself, but that function is called in a lot of places, and it's not
clear that quietly returning "not merged" is the right thing everywhere
(I'd expect in many cases, feeding a NULL is a sign of a bug).

There are four tests here:

  a. The first one confirms that deletion succeeds with an orphaned HEAD
     when the branch is merged to its upstream. This is case (2) above.

  b. Same, but with commit graphs enabled. Even if it is merged to
     upstream, we still check head_rev so that we can say "deleting
     because it's merged to upstream, even though it's not merged to
     HEAD". Without the second hunk in branch_merged(), this test would
     segfault in can_all_from_reach().

  c. The third one confirms that we correctly say "not merged to HEAD"
     when we can't resolve HEAD, and reject the deletion.

  d. Same, but with commit graphs enabled. Without the first hunk in
     branch_merged(), this one would segfault.

Rubén Justo 77e7267e47 branch: error copying or renaming a detached HEAD
In c847f53712 (Detached HEAD (experimental), 2007-01-01) an error
condition was introduced in rename_branch() to prevent renaming, later
also copying, a detached HEAD.

The condition used was checking for NULL in oldname, the source branch
to rename/copy.  That condition cannot be satisfied because if no source
branch is specified, HEAD is going to be used in the call.

The error issued instead is:

	fatal: Invalid branch name: 'HEAD'

Let's remove the condition in copy_or_rename_branch() (the current
function name) and check for HEAD before calling it, dying with the
original intended error if we're in a detached HEAD.

To prepare for the default value of `protocol.file.allow` to change to
"user", ensure tests that rely on local submodules can initialize them
over the file protocol.

Tests that only need to interact with submodules in a limited capacity
have individual Git commands annotated with the appropriate
configuration via `-c`. Tests that interact with submodules a handful of
times use `test_config_global` instead. Test scripts that rely on
submodules throughout use a `git config --global` during a setup test
towards the beginning of the script.

Junio C Hamano e288b3de35 branch: do not fail a no-op --edit-desc
Imagine running "git branch --edit-description" while on a branch
without the branch description, and then exit the editor after
emptying the edit buffer, which is the way to tell the command that
you changed your mind and you do not want the description after all.

The command should just happily oblige, adding no branch description
for the current branch, and exit successfully.  But it fails to do
so:

    $ git init -b main
    $ git commit --allow-empty -m commit
    $ GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description
    fatal: could not unset 'branch.main.description'

The end result is OK in that the configuration variable does not
exist in the resulting repository, but we should do better.  If we
know we didn't have a description, and if we are asked not to have a
description by the editor, we can just return doing nothing.

This of course introduces TOCTOU.  If you add a branch description
to the same branch from another window, while you had the editor
open to edit the description, and then exit the editor without
writing anything there, we'd end up not removing the description you
added in the other window.  But you are fooling yourself in your own
repository at that point, and if it hurts, you'd be better off not
doing so ;-).

Tao Klerks bdaf1dfae7 branch: new autosetupmerge option 'simple' for matching branches
With the default push.default option, "simple", beginners are
protected from accidentally pushing to the "wrong" branch in
centralized workflows: if the remote tracking branch they would push
to does not have the same name as the local branch, and they try to do
a "default push", they get an error and explanation with options.

There is a particular centralized workflow where this often happens:
a user branches to a new local topic branch from an existing
remote branch, eg with "checkout -b feature1 origin/master". With
the default branch.autosetupmerge configuration (value "true"), git
will automatically add origin/master as the upstream tracking branch.

When the user pushes with a default "git push", with the intention of
pushing their (new) topic branch to the remote, they get an error, and
(amongst other things) a suggestion to run "git push origin HEAD".

If they follow this suggestion the push succeeds, but on subsequent
default pushes they continue to get an error - so eventually they
figure out to add "-u" to change the tracking branch, or they spelunk
the push.default config doc as proposed and set it to "current", or
some GUI tooling does one or the other of these things for them.

When one of their coworkers later works on the same topic branch,
they don't get any of that "weirdness". They just "git checkout
feature1" and everything works exactly as they expect, with the shared
remote branch set up as remote tracking branch, and push and pull
working out of the box.

The "stable state" for this way of working is that local branches have
the same-name remote tracking branch (origin/feature1 in this
example), and multiple people can work on that remote feature branch
at the same time, trusting "git pull" to merge or rebase as required
for them to be able to push their interim changes to that same feature
branch on that same remote.

(merging from the upstream "master" branch, and merging back to it,
are separate more involved processes in this flow).

There is a problem in this flow/way of working, however, which is that
the first user, when they first branched from origin/master, ended up
with the "wrong" remote tracking branch (different from the stable
state). For a while, before they pushed (and maybe longer, if they
don't use -u/--set-upstream), their "git pull" wasn't getting other
users' changes to the feature branch - it was getting any changes from
the remote "master" branch instead (a completely different class of
changes!)

An experienced git user might say "well yeah, that's what it means to
have the remote tracking branch set to origin/master!" - but the
original user above didn't *ask* to have the remote master branch
added as remote tracking branch - that just happened automatically
when they branched their feature branch. They didn't necessarily even
notice or understand the meaning of the "set up to track 'origin/master'"
message when they created the branch - especially if they are using a
GUI.

Looking at how to fix this, you might think "OK, so disable auto setup
of remote tracking - set branch.autosetupmerge to false" - but that
will inconvenience the *second* user in this story - the one who just
wanted to start working on the topic branch. The first and second
users swap roles at different points in time of course - they should
both have a sane configuration that does the right thing in both
situations.

Make this "branches have the same name locally as on the remote"
workflow less painful / more obvious by introducing a new
branch.autosetupmerge option called "simple", to match the same-name
"push.default" option that makes similar assumptions.

This new option automatically sets up tracking in a *subset* of the
current default situations: when the original ref is a remote tracking
branch *and* has the same branch name on the remote (as the new local
branch name).

Update the error displayed when the 'push.default=simple' configuration
rejects a mismatching-upstream-name default push, to offer this new
branch.autosetupmerge option that will prevent this class of error.

With this new configuration, in the example situation above, the first
user does *not* get origin/master set up as the tracking branch for
the new local branch. If they "git pull" in their new local-only
branch, they get an error explaining there is no upstream branch -
which makes sense and is helpful. If they "git push", they get an
error explaining how to push *and* suggesting they specify
--set-upstream - which is exactly the right thing to do for them.

This new option is likely not appropriate for users intentionally
implementing a "triangular workflow" with a shared upstream tracking
branch, that they "git pull" in and a "private" feature branch that
they push/force-push to just for remote safe-keeping until they are
ready to push up to the shared branch explicitly/separately. Such
users are likely to prefer keeping the current default
merge.autosetupmerge=true behavior, and change their push.default to
"current".

Also extend the existing branch tests with three new cases testing
this option - the obvious matching-name and non-matching-name cases,
and also a non-matching-ref-type case. The matching-name case needs to
temporarily create an independent repo to fetch from, as the general
strategy of using the local repo as the remote in these tests
precludes locally branching with the same name as in the "remote".

Tao Klerks e4921d877a tracking branches: add advice to ambiguous refspec error
The error "not tracking: ambiguous information for ref" is raised
when we are evaluating what tracking information to set on a branch,
and find that the ref to be added as tracking branch is mapped
under multiple remotes' fetch refspecs.

This can easily happen when a user copy-pastes a remote definition
in their git config, and forgets to change the tracking path.

Add advice in this situation, explicitly highlighting which remotes
are involved and suggesting how to correct the situation. Also

Assert these situations, delete dead code and ensure that we're handling

--force`. As a result, create_branch() now always creates a branch.

Josh Steadmon d3115660b4 branch: add flags and config to inherit tracking
It can be helpful when creating a new branch to use the existing
tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is
currently not a method to automatically do so.

Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the
"--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the
tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch
point, if set.

For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run
`git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature"
will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far
ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin.

This is particularly useful when creating branches across many
submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with
a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to
manually set tracking info for each submodule.

Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as
another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track"
without an argument still works as well).

Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this
is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

Things like "git -c branch.sort=bogus branch new HEAD", i.e. the

2021-11-29 15:41:47 -08:00
Junio C Hamano 98e7ab6d42 for-each-ref: delay parsing of --sort=<atom> options
The for-each-ref family of commands invoke parsers immediately when
it sees each --sort=<atom> option, and die before even seeing the
other options on the command line when the <atom> is unrecognised.

Instead, accumulate them in a string list, and have them parsed into
a ref_sorting structure after the command line parsing is done.  As
a consequence, "git branch --sort=bogus -h" used to fail to give the
brief help, which arguably may have been a feature, now does so,
which is more consistent with how other options work.

The patch is smaller than the actual extent of the "damage" to the
codebase, thanks to the fact that the original code consistently
used OPT_REF_SORT() macro to handle command line options.  We only
needed to replace the variable used for the list, and implementation
of the callback function used in the macro.

The old rule was for the users of the API to:

 - Declare ref_sorting and ref_sorting_tail variables;

 - OPT_REF_SORT() macro will instantiate ref_sorting instance (which
   may barf and die) and append it to the tail;

 - Append to the tail each ref_sorting read from the configuration
   by parsing in the config callback (which may barf and die);

 - See if ref_sorting is null and use ref_sorting_default() instead.

Now the rule is not all that different but is simpler:

 - Declare ref_sorting_options string list.

 - OPT_REF_SORT() macro will append it to the string list;

 - Append to the string list the sort key read from the
   configuration;

 - call ref_sorting_options() to turn the string list to ref_sorting
   structure (which also deals with the default value).

As side effects, this change also cleans up a few issues:

 - 95be717c (parse_opt_ref_sorting: always use with NONEG flag,
   2019-03-20) muses that "git for-each-ref --no-sort" should simply
   clear the sort keys accumulated so far; it now does.

 - The implementation detail of "struct ref_sorting" and the helper
   function parse_ref_sorting() can now be private to the ref-filter
   API implementation.

 - If you set branch.sort to a bogus value, the any "git branch"
   invocation, not only the listing mode, would abort with the
   original code; now it doesn't

Han-Wen Nienhuys aa30fe1481 branch tests: test for errno propagating on failing read
Add a test for "git branch" to cover the case where .git/refs is
symlinked. To check availability, refs_verify_refname_available() will
run refs_read_raw_ref() on each prefix, leading to a read() from
.git/refs (which is a directory).

It would probably be more robust to re-issue the lstat() as a normal
stat(), in which case, we would fall back to the directory case, but
for now let's just test for the existing behavior as-is. This test
covers a regression in a commit that only ever made it to "next", see
[1].

René Scharfe 597a977489 branch: allow deleting dangling branches with --force
git branch only allows deleting branches that point to valid commits.
Skip that check if --force is given, as the caller is indicating with
it that they know what they are doing and accept the consequences.
This allows deleting dangling branches, which previously had to be
reset to a valid start-point using --force first.

Johannes Schindelin ec9779bcd8 t3200: finish transitioning to the initial branch name main
In 56300ff356 (t3200: prepare for `main` being shorter than `master`,

world where `git init` uses the branch name `main` for the initial
branch.

We do not even have to wait for that new world: we can easily ensure
that that branch name is used, independent of the exact name `git init`
will give the initial branch, so let's do that.

This also lets us remove the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq from three
test cases in that script.

Johannes Schindelin 8b70966aa9 tests: drop prereq PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH where no longer needed
We introduced the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq for the sole purpose
of allowing us to perform the non-trivial adjustments regarding the
`master` -> `main` rename before the automatable ones.

Now that the transition is almost complete, we can stop using it in most
instances. The only two exceptions are t5526 and t9902: at the time of
writing, there are other patches in flight that touch these test
scripts, therefore their transition to `main` is postponed to a later
date.

This patch is the result of this command:

	sed -i 's/PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH[ ,]//' t/t[0-9]*.sh &&
	git checkout HEAD -- t/t5526\* t/t9902\*

Johannes Schindelin 334afbc76f tests: mark tests relying on the current default for init.defaultBranch
In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.

To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in

- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,

- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
  initialize the default branch,

- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,

- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
  uses `master`)

This trick was performed by this command:

	$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
	GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
	export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
	' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
	t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh

After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:

	$ git checkout HEAD -- \
		t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \
		t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \
		t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \

		t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \
		t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:

	$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
	GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
	export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
	' t/t980[0167]*.sh t/t9811*.sh

Johannes Schindelin 66713e84e7 tests: prepare aligned mentions of the default branch name
In some tests, the default branch name is part of aligned output. As we
want to change the default branch name to `main`, which is two
characters shorter than the old default branch name, we will have to
adjust those tests.

Since we use the original default branch name until the entire test
suite has been adjusted accordingly, the touched test cases need to be
guarded by a prereq (that is so far disabled so that they are skipped
for now).

The test cases that depend on those test cases that are newly guarded by
that prereq naturally have to be guarded, too.

In the test case adjusted by this patch, we want to cut just after the

since that is only one character shorter than `master`, we decrement the
length by one instead of two.

Johannes Schindelin 432f5e638d t3200: avoid variations of the master branch name
To avoid branch names with a loaded history, we already started to avoid
using the name "master" in a couple instances.

The `t3200-branch.sh` script uses variations of this name for branches
other than the default one. So let's change those names, as
"lowest-hanging fruits" in the effort to use more inclusive naming
throughout Git's source code. While at it, make those branch names
independent from the default branch name.

In this particular instance, this rename requires a couple of
non-trivial adjustments, as the aligned output depends on the maximum
length of the displayed branches (which we now changed), and also on the
alphabetical order (which we now changed, too).

The "refuse --edit-description on unborn branch for now" test in t3200
switches to an orphan branch, causing subsequent git commands

This has gone undetected, as the next affected test expects failure -
but it currently fails for the wrong reason.

In 6b7093064a ("t3200: test for specific errors", 2020-06-15), we
learned to grep stderr to ensure that the failing `git branch`
invocations fail for the right reason. In two of these tests, we grep
for "File exists", expecting the string to show up there since config.c
calls `error_errno()`, which ends up including `strerror(errno)` in the
error message.

But as we saw in 4605a73073 ("t1091: don't grep for `strerror()`
string", 2020-03-08), there exists at least one implementation where
`strerror()` yields a slightly different string than the one we're
grepping for. In particular, these tests fail on the NonStop platform.

Similar to 4605a73073, grep for the beginning of the string instead to
avoid relying on `strerror()` behavior.
