Newer versions of GNU grep is reported to be pickier when we feed a
non-ASCII input and break some Porcelain scripts. As we know we do
not feed random binary file to our own sane_grep wrapper, allow us
to always pass "-a" by setting SANE_TEXT_GREP=-a Makefile variable
to work it around.

By default, Git used to set $LESS to -FRSX if $LESS was not set by
the user. The FRX flags actually make sense for Git (F and X because
sometimes the output Git pipes to less is short, and R because Git
pipes colored output). The S flag (chop long lines), on the other
hand, is not related to Git and is a matter of user preference. Git
should not decide for the user to change LESS's default.
More specifically, the S flag harms users who review untrusted code
within a pager, since a patch looking like:
-old code;
+new good code; [... lots of tabs ...] malicious code;
would appear identical to:
-old code;
+new good code;
Users who prefer the old behavior can still set the $LESS environment
variable to -FRSX explicitly, or set core.pager to 'less -S'.
The documentation in config.txt is made a bit longer to keep both an
example setting the 'S' flag (needed to recover the old behavior)
and an example showing how to unset a flag set by Git.

Just like we give a reasonable default for "less" via the LESS
environment variable, specify a reasonable default for "lv" via the
"LV" environment variable when spawning the pager.
* jn/pager-lv-default-env:
pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
|
|
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:
$ git diff
^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m
"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default. Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.
Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.
The harm:
- When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
the #! line are not used. Specifying a particular shell can
confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.
- Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.
- Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
executable. This check does not work if shell libraries also start
with a #! line.
The good:
- Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
place.
The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix). Replace the opening #! lines with comments.
This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).
Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian. Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.
Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:
find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
while read file
do
read line <"$file"
case $line in
'#!'*)
echo "$file"
;;
esac
done
The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests
(t/t4034/perl/{pre,post}).

Document rules to use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION variable in the scripted
Porcelain. git-rebase--interactive locally violates them, but it
is a leaf user that does not call out to or dot-source other
scripts, so it does not urgently need to be fixed.
* jc/reflog-doc:
setup_reflog_action: document the rules for using GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
|

Some implementations of 'echo' (e.g. dash's built-in) interpret
backslash sequences in their arguments.
This triggered at least one bug: the error message of "rebase -i" was
turning \t in commit messages into actual tabulations. There may be
others.
Using "printf '%s\n'" instead avoids this bad behavior, and is the form
used by the "say" function.

The set_reflog_action helper (in git-sh-setup) is designed to be
used once at the very top of a program, like this in "git am", for
example:
set_reflog_action am
The helper function sets the given string to GIT_REFLOG_ACTION only
when GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is not yet set. Thanks to this, "git am",
when run as the top-level program, will use "am" in GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
and the reflog entries made by whatever it does will record the
updates of refs done by "am".
Because of the conditional assignment, when "git am" is run as a
subprogram (i.e. an implementation detail) of "git rebase" that
already sets GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to its own name, the call in "git am"
to the helper function at the beginning will *not* have any effect.
So "git rebase" can do this:
set_reflog_action rebase
... do its own preparation, like checking out "onto" commit
... decide to do "format-patch" to "am" pipeline
git format-patch --stdout >mbox
git am mbox
and the reflog entries made inside "git am" invocation will say
"rebase", not "am".
Calls to "git" commands that update refs would use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
to record who did that update. Most such calls in scripted Porcelains
do not define custom reflog message and rely on GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to
contain its (or its caller's, when it is called as a subprogram) name.
If a scripted Porcelain wants to record a custom reflog message for
a single invocation of "git" command (e.g. when "git rebase" uses
"git checkout" to detach HEAD at the commit a series is to be
replayed on), it needs to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to the custom
message and export it while calling the "git" command, but such an
assignment must be restricted to that single "git" invocation and
should not be left behind to affect later codepath.
Document the rules to avoid future confusion.

Adjust the order mergetools feeds the files to the p4merge backend
to match the p4 convention.
* kb/p4merge:
merge-one-file: force content conflict for "both sides added" case
git-merge-one-file: send "ERROR:" messages to stderr
git-merge-one-file: style cleanup
merge-one-file: remove stale comment
mergetools/p4merge: create a base if none available
mergetools/p4merge: swap LOCAL and REMOTE
|
|
Originally, with no base, Git gave P4Merge $LOCAL as a dummy base:
p4merge "$LOCAL" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"
Commit 0a0ec7bd changed this to:
p4merge "empty file" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"
to avoid the problem of being unable to save in some circumstances with
similar inputs.
Unfortunately this approach produces much worse results on differing
inputs. P4Merge really regards the blank file as the base, and once you
have just a couple of differences between the two branches you end up
with one a massive full-file conflict. The 3-way diff is not readable,
and you have to invoke "difftool MERGE_HEAD HEAD" manually to get a
useful view.
The original approach appears to have invoked special 2-way merge
behaviour in P4Merge that occurs only if the base filename is "" or
equal to the left input. You get a good visual comparison, and it does
not auto-resolve differences. (Normally if one branch matched the base,
it would autoresolve to the other branch).
But there appears to be no way of getting this 2-way behaviour and being
able to reliably save. Having base==left appears to be triggering other
assumptions. There are tricks the user can use to force the save icon
on, but it's not intuitive.
So we now follow a suggestion given in the original patch's discussion:
generate a virtual base, consisting of the lines common to the two
branches. This is the same as the technique used in resolve and octopus
merges, so we relocate that code to a shared function.
Note that if there are no differences at the same location, this
technique can lead to automatic resolution without conflict, combining
everything from the 2 files. As with the other merges using this
technique, we assume the user will inspect the result before saving.

Some shells do not behave correctly when IFS is unset; work it
around by explicitly setting it to the default value.
* jc/maint-fbsd-sh-ifs-workaround:
sh-setup: work around "unset IFS" bug in some shells
|
|
With an unset IFS, field splitting is supposed to act as if IFS is
set to the usual SP HT LF, but Marc Branchaud reports that the shell
on FreeBSD 7.2 gets this wrong.
It is easy to set it to the default value manually, and it is also
safer in case somebody tries to save the old value away and restore,
e.g.
$oIFS=$IFS
IFS=something
...
IFS=$oIFS
while forgetting that the original IFS might be unset (which can be
coded but would be more involved).

The only ident-parsing function we currently provide is
get_author_ident_from_commit. This is not very
flexible for two reasons:
1. It takes a commit as an argument, and can't read from
commit headers saved on disk.
2. It will only parse authors, not committers.
This patch provides a more flexible interface which will

The only place that the issue this series addresses was observed
where we read "cat-file commit" output and put it in GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
in order to replay a commit with an ancient timestamp.
With the previous patch alone, "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'"
can be misinterpreted to mean an ancient timestamp, not September in
year 2010. Guard this codepath by requring an extra '@' in front of
the raw git timestamp on the parsing side. This of course needs to
be compensated by updating get_author_ident_from_commit and the code
for "git commit --amend" to prepend '@' to the string read from the
existing commit in the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE environment variable.

Somebody tried "git pull" from a random place completely outside the work
tree, while exporting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE that are set to correct
places, e.g.
GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME/git.git
GIT_DIR=$GIT_WORK_TREE/.git
export GIT_WORK_TREE GIT_DIR
cd /tmp
git pull
At the beginning of git-pull, we check "require-work-tree" and then
"cd-to-toplevel". I _think_ the original intention when I wrote the
command was "we MUST have a work tree, our $(cwd) might not be at the
top-level directory of it", and no stronger than that. That check is a
very sensible thing to do before doing cd-to-toplevel. We check that the
place we would want to go exists, and then go there.
But the implementation of require_work_tree we have today is quite
different. I don't have energy to dig the history, but currently it says:
test "$(git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null)" = true ||
die "fatal: $0 cannot be used without a working tree."
Which is completely bogus. Even though we may happen to be just outside
of it right now, we may have a working tree that we can cd_to_toplevel
back to.
Add a function "require_work_tree_exists" that implements the check
this function originally intended (this is so that third-party scripts
that rely on the current behaviour do not have to get broken).
For now, update _no_ in-tree scripts, not even "git pull", as nobody on
the list seems to really care about the above corner case workflow that
triggered this. Scripts can be updated after vetting that they do want the
"we want to make sure the place we are going to go actually exists"
semantics.

- If $GIT_PAGER is set to the empty string, instead of passing

Conflicts:

If the user has exported the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable, the output
from "grep" and "egrep" in scripted Porcelains may be different from what
they expect. For example, we may want to count number of matching lines,
by "grep" piped to "wc -l", and GREP_OPTIONS=-C3 will break such use.
The approach taken by this change to address this issue is to protect only
our own use of grep/egrep. Because we do not unset it at the beginning of
our scripts, hook scripts run from the scripted Porcelains are exposed to
the same insanity this environment variable causes when grep/egrep is used
to implement logic (e.g. "grep | wc -l"), and it is entirely up to the
hook scripts to protect themselves.
On the other hand, applypatch-msg hook may want to show offending words in
the proposed commit log message using grep to the end user, and the user
might want to set GREP_OPTIONS=--color to paint the match more visibly.
The approach to protect only our own use without unsetting the environment
variable globally will allow this use case.

In an earlier patch, we introduced SANE_TOOL_PATH that is prepended to
user's PATH. This had an unintended consequence of overriding user's
private binary directory that typically comes earlier in the PATH to holds
even saner commands than whatever comes with the system.
For example, a user may have ~/bin that is early in the path and contains
a shell script "vi" that launches system's /bin/vi with specific options.
Prepending SANE_TOOL_PATH to the PATH that happens to have "vi" in it
defeats such customization.
This fixes the issue by inserting SANE_TOOL_PATH just before /bin or
/usr/bin appears on the PATH.

features provided by these modern binaries are expected and required by git.
If the featureful binaries are not in the users path, then git could end up

use 'cd -P $path'. The "-P" option yields a desirable similarity to
C chdir.
While the "-P" option may be slightly less commonly supported than
/bin/pwd, it is more concise, better tested, and less error prone.
I've already added the 'unset PWD' to fix the /bin/pwd solution on
BSD; there may be more edge cases out there.
This still passes all the same test cases in t5521-pull-symlink.sh and
t2300-cd-to-toplevel.sh, even before updating them to use 'pwd -P'.

On Mac OS X and possibly BSDs, /bin/pwd reads PWD from the environment if
available and shows the logical path by default rather than the physical
one.
Unset PWD before running /bin/pwd in both cd_to_toplevel and its test.
Still use the external /bin/pwd because in my Bash on Linux, the builtin
pwd prints the same result whether or not PWD is set.

I want directories of my working tree to be linked to from various
paths on my filesystem where third-party components expect them, both
in development and production environments. A build system's install
step could solve this, but I develop scripts and web pages that don't
need to be built. Git's submodule system could solve this, but we
tend to develop, branch, and test those directories all in unison, so
one big repository feels more natural. We prefer to edit and commit
on the symlinked paths, not the canonical ones, and in that setting,
"git pull" fails to find the top-level directory of the repository
while other commands work fine.
"git pull" fails because POSIX shells have a notion of current working
directory that is different from getcwd(). The shell stores this path
in PWD. As a result, "cd ../" can be interpreted differently in a
shell script than chdir("../") in a C program. The shell interprets
"../" by essentially stripping the last textual path component from
PWD, whereas C chdir() follows the ".." link in the current directory
on the filesystem. When PWD is a symlink, these are different
destinations. As a result, Git's C commands find the correct
top-level working tree, and shell scripts do not.
Changes:
* When interpreting a relative upward (../) path in cd_to_toplevel,
prepend the cwd without symlinks, given by /bin/pwd
* Add tests for cd_to_toplevel and "git pull" in a symlinked
directory that failed before this fix, plus contrasting scenarios
that already worked

We used to use "cat-file commit $commit" to extract the original
author information from existing commit, but an earlier commit
5ac2715 (Consistent message encoding while reusing log from an

you have a file in your work tree that can be interpreted as a
valid object name (e.g. "HEAD"), this conversion will not work.
Disambiguate by marking the end of revision parameter on the

The following values are possible for this variable:

By default we still show help using "man".

The previous code only allowed specifying a single executable rather
than a complete command like "emacsclient --alternate-editor vi" in
those variables. Since VISUAL/EDITOR appear to be traditionally
passed to a shell for interpretation (as corroborated with "less",
"mail" and "mailx", while the really ancient "more" indeed allows only
an executable name), the shell function git_editor has been amended
appropriately.
"eval" is employed to have quotes and similar interpreted _after_
expansion, so that specifying
EDITOR='"/home/dak/My Commands/notepad.exe"'
can be used for actually using commands with blanks.
Instead of passing just the first argument of git_editor on, we pass
all of them (so that +lineno might be employed at a later point of
time, or so that multiple files may be edited when appropriate).
Strictly speaking, there is a change in behavior: when
git config core.editor
returns a valid but empty string, the fallbacks are still searched.
This is more consistent, and the old code was problematic with regard
to multiple blanks. Putting in additional quotes might have worked,
but quotes inside of command substitution inside of quotes is nasty
enough to not reliably work the same across "Bourne shells".

The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable,
and not to the point.
For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used?
As in "git status". Now it works.
Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why
are some programs complaining that they need a work tree?
IOW it is allowed to call
$ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla
when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory
and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right
thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are
inside a git directory.
Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was
specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory.
It does now.
The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree
(tertium non datur), is this:
--work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true,
which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR
ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found.
In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/,
which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the
appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have
caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a
long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

that is used as a back-up location (or a distribution point) but
does not have a push access for networking reasons, e.g. one end

Junio rightly pointed out that the --reflog-action parameter
was starting to get out of control, as most porcelain code
needed to hand it to other porcelain and plumbing alike to
ensure the reflog contained the top-level user action and
not the lower-level actions it invoked.
At Junio's suggestion we are introducing the new set_reflog_action
function to all shell scripts, allowing them to declare early on
what their default reflog name should be, but this setting only
takes effect if the caller has not already set the GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
environment variable.

This is to be nicer to people with unusable GECOS field.
"git-var -l" is currently broken in that when used by a user who
does not have a usable GECOS field and has not corrected it by
exporting GIT_COMMITTER_NAME environment variable it dies when
it tries to output GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT (same thing for AUTHOR).
"git-pull" used "git-var -l" only because it needed to get a
configuration variable before "git-repo-config --get" was
introduced. Use the latter tool designed exactly for this
purpose.
"git-sh-setup" used "git-var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT" without actually
wanting to use its value. The only purpose was to cause the
command to check and barf if the repository format version
recorded in the $GIT_DIR/config file is too new for us to deal
with correctly. Instead, use "repo-config --get" on a random
property and see if it die()s, and check if the exit status is
128 (comes from die -- missing variable is reported with exit
status 1, so we can tell that case apart).

There were some problems with the usage message clean-up patch
series. I hadn't realised that subdirectory aware scripts can't source
git-sh-setup. I propose that we change this and let the scripts which
are subdirectory aware set a variable, SUBDIRECTORY_OK, before they
source git-sh-setup.
The scripts will also set USAGE and possibly LONG_USAGE before they
source git-sh-setup. If LONG_USAGE isn't set it defaults to USAGE.
If we go this way it's easy to catch --help in git-sh-setup, print the
(long) usage message to stdout and exit cleanly. git-sh-setup can
define a 'usage' shell function which can be called by the scripts to
print the short usage string to stderr and exit non-cleanly. It will
also be easy to change $0 to basename $0 or something else, if would
like to do that sometime in the future.
What follows is a patch to convert a couple of the commands to this
style. If it's ok with everyone to do it this way I will convert the
rest of the scripts too.

Any core commands that use setup_git_directory() now check if
given GIT_DIR is really a valid repository, so the same check in
git-sh-setup can use it without reimplementing it in shell.
This commit changes git-sh-setup to use git-var command for
that, although any other commands would do.
Note that we export GIT_DIR explicitly when calling git-var;
without it, the caller of this script would use GIT_DIR that we
return (which is to assume ./.git unless the caller has it
elsewhere) while git-var would go up to find a .git directory in
our parent directories, which would be checking a different
directory from what our callers will be using.

This makes it possible to have a "sparse" git object subdirectory
structure, something that has become much more attractive now that people
use pack-files all the time.
As a result of pack-files, a git object directory doesn't necessarily have
any individual objects lying around, and in that case it's just wasting
space to keep the empty first-level object directories around: on many
filesystems the 256 empty directories will be aboue 1MB of diskspace.
Even more importantly, after you re-pack a project that _used_ to be
unpacked, you could be left with huge directories that no longer contain
anything, but that waste space and take time to look through.
With this change, "git prune-packed" can just do an rmdir() on the
directories, and they'll get removed if empty, and re-created on demand.
This patch also tries to fix up "write_sha1_from_fd()" to use the new
common infrastructure for creating the object files, closing a hole where
we might otherwise leave half-written objects in the object database.
[jc: I unoptimized the part that really removes the fan-out directories
to ease transition. init-db still wastes 1MB of diskspace to hold 256
empty fan-outs, and prune-packed rmdir()'s the grown but empty directories,
but runs mkdir() immediately after that -- reducing the saving from 150KB
to 146KB. These parts will be re-introduced when everybody has the
on-demand capability.]

CDPATH has two problems:
* It takes scripts to unexpected places (somebody had

took him to $HOME/.git when he said "clone foo bar" to clone a
repository in "foo" which had "foo/.git"). CDPATH mechanism does
not implicitly give "." at the beginning of CDPATH, which is
the most irritating part.
