Stop using `the_repository` in the "pager" subsystem by passing in a
repository when setting up the pager and when configuring it.
Adjust callers accordingly by using `the_repository`. While there may be
some callers that have a repository available in their context, this
trivial conversion allows for easier verification and bubbles up the use
of `the_repository` by one level.

The `read_early_config()` function can be used to read configuration
where a repository has not yet been set up. As such, it is optional
whether or not `the_repository` has already been initialized. If it was
initialized we use its commondir and gitdir. If not, the function will
try to detect the Git directories by itself and, if found, also parse
their config files.
This means that we implicitly rely on `the_repository`. Make this
dependency explicit by passing a `struct repository`. This allows us to
again drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` define in "config.c".

rebase --exec doesn't obey --quiet and ends up printing messages about
the command being executed:
git rebase HEAD~3 --quiet --exec true
Executing: true
Executing: true
Executing: true
Let's fix that by omitting the "Executing" messages when using --quiet.
Furthermore, the sequencer code includes a few calls to
term_clear_line(), which prints a special character sequence to erase
the previous line displayed on stderr (even when nothing was printed
yet). For an user running the command interactively, the net effect of
calling this function with or without --quiet is the same as the
characters are invisible in the terminal. However, when redirecting the
output to a file or piping to another command, the presence of these
invisible characters is noticeable, and it may break user expectation as
--quiet is not being respected.
We could skip the term_clear_line() calls when --quiet is used, like we
are doing with the "Executing" messages, but it makes much more sense to
condition the line cleaning upon stderr being TTY, since these
characters are really only useful for TTY outputs.
The added test checks for both these two changes.

Since f67b45f862 (Introduce trivial new pager.c helper infrastructure,
2006-02-28) we have the machinery to send our output to a pager.
That machinery, once set up, does not allow us to regain the original
stdio streams.
In the interactive commands (i.e.: add -p) we want to use the pager for
some output, while maintaining the interaction with the user.
Modify the pager machinery so that we can use `setup_pager()` and, once
we've finished sending the desired output for the pager, wait for the
pager termination using a new function `wait_for_pager()`. Make this
function reset the pager machinery before returning.
One specific point to note is that we avoid forking the pager in
`setup_pager()` if the configured pager is an empty string [*1*] or
simply "cat" [*2*]. In these cases, `setup_pager()` does nothing and
therefore `wait_for_pager()` should not be called.
We could modify `setup_pager()` to return an indication of these
situations, so we could avoid calling `wait_for_pager()`.
However, let's avoid transferring that responsibility to the caller and
instead treat the call to `wait_for_pager()` as a no-op when we know we
haven't forked the pager.

We send errors to the pager since 61b80509e3 (sending errors to stdout
under $PAGER, 2008-02-16).
In a8335024c2 (pager: do not dup2 stderr if it is already redirected,
2008-12-15) an exception was introduced to avoid redirecting stderr if
it is not connected to a terminal.
In such exceptional cases, the close(STDERR_FILENO) we're doing in
close_pager_fds, is unnecessary.
Furthermore, in a subsequent commit we're going to introduce changes
that will involve using close_pager_fds multiple times.
With this in mind, controlling when we want to close stderr, become
sensible.
Let's close(STDERR_FILENO) only when necessary, and pave the way for the
upcoming changes.

When GIT_PAGER failed to spawn, depending on the code path taken,
we failed immediately (correct) or just spew the payload to the
standard output (incorrect). The code now always fail immediately
when GIT_PAGER fails.
* rj/pager-die-upon-exec-failure:
pager: die when paging to non-existing command

When trying to execute a non-existent program from GIT_PAGER, we display
an error. However, we also send the complete text to the terminal
and return a successful exit code. This can be confusing for the user
and the displayed error could easily become obscured by a lengthy
text.
For example, here the error message would be very far above after
sending 50 MB of text:
$ GIT_PAGER=non-existent t/test-terminal.perl git log | wc -c
error: cannot run non-existent: No such file or directory
50314363
Let's make the error clear by aborting the process and return an error
so that the user can easily correct their mistake.
This will be the result of the change:
$ GIT_PAGER=non-existent t/test-terminal.perl git log | wc -c
error: cannot run non-existent: No such file or directory
fatal: unable to execute pager 'non-existent'
0
The behavior change we're introducing in this commit affects two tests
in t7006, which is a good sign regarding test coverage and requires us
to address it.
The first test is 'git skips paging non-existing command'. This test
comes from f7991f01f2 (t7006: clean up SIGPIPE handling in trace2 tests,
2021-11-21,) where a modification was made to a test that was originally
introduced in c24b7f6736 (pager: test for exit code with and without
SIGPIPE, 2021-02-02). That original test was, IMHO, in the same
direction we're going in this commit.
At any rate, this test obviously needs to be adjusted to check the new
behavior we are introducing. Do it.
The second test being affected is: 'non-existent pager doesnt cause
crash', introduced in f917f57f40 (pager: fix crash when pager program
doesn't exist, 2021-11-24). As its name states, it has the intention of
checking that we don't introduce a regression that produces a crash when
GIT_PAGER points to a nonexistent program.
This test could be considered redundant nowadays, due to us already
having several tests checking implicitly what a non-existent command in
GIT_PAGER produces. However, let's maintain a good belt-and-suspenders
strategy; adapt it to the new world.
Finally, it's worth noting that we are not changing the behavior if the
command specified in GIT_PAGER is a shell command. In such cases, it
is:
$ GIT_PAGER=:\;non-existent t/test-terminal.perl git log
:;non-existent: 1: non-existent: not found
died of signal 13 at t/test-terminal.perl line 33.

Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold
additional information about the config iteration operation.
config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds
metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config
source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested
in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg,
but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future
without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other
ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into
config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the
incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a
config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a
different config value).
In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct
config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free
operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide
meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and
call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg
in any meaningful way.
Most of the changes are performed by
contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every
config_fn_t:
- Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx"
- Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed
- Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed
Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are
called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are
manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed,
but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t
that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of
"struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense.
The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t
outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of
"ctx" to pass. These cases are:
- trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl()
This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2
machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings
using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb().
- builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main()
This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg.
This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since
git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much
more than just parsing.
Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct
key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the
"ctx" arg.

As reported in [1] the "UNUSED(var)" macro introduced in
2174b8c75de (Merge branch 'jk/unused-annotation' into next,
2022-08-24) breaks coccinelle's parsing of our sources in files where
it occurs.
Let's instead partially go with the approach suggested in [2] of
making this not take an argument. As noted in [1] "coccinelle" will
ignore such tokens in argument lists that it doesn't know about, and
it's less of a surprise to syntax highlighters.
This undoes the "help us notice when a parameter marked as unused is
actually use" part of 9b240347543 (git-compat-util: add UNUSED macro,
2022-08-19), a subsequent commit will further tweak the macro to
implement a replacement for that functionality.

The callback passed to git_config() must conform to a particular
interface. But most callbacks don't actually look at the extra "void
*data" parameter. Let's mark the unused parameters to make
-Wunused-parameter happy.
Note there's one unusual case here in get_remote_default() where we
actually ignore the "value" parameter. That's because it's only checking
whether the option is found at all, and not parsing its value.

Start following-up on the rename mentioned in c7c4bdeccf3 (run-command
API: remove "env" member, always use "env_array", 2021-11-25) of
"env_array" to "env".
The "env_array" name was picked in 19a583dc39e (run-command: add
env_array, an optional argv_array for env, 2014-10-19) because "env"
was taken. Let's not forever keep the oddity of "*_array" for this
"struct strvec", but not for its "args" sibling.
This commit is almost entirely made with a coccinelle rule[1]. The
only manual change here is in run-command.h to rename the struct
member itself and to change "env_array" to "env" in the
CHILD_PROCESS_INIT initializer.
The rest of this is all a result of applying [1]:
* make contrib/coccinelle/run_command.cocci.patch

When prepare_cmd() fails for, e.g., pager process setup,
child_process_clear() frees the memory in pager_process.args, but .argv
was pointed to pager_process.args.v earlier in start_command(), so it's
now a dangling pointer.
setup_pager() is then called a second time, from cmd_log_init_finish()
in this case, and any further operations using its .argv, e.g. strvec_*,
will use the dangling pointer and eventually crash. According to trivial
tests, setup_pager() is not called twice if the first call is
successful.
This patch makes sure that pager_process is properly initialized on
setup_pager(). Drop CHILD_PROCESS_INIT from its declaration since it's
no longer really necessary.
Add a test to catch possible regressions.

We query `TIOCGWINSZ` in Git to determine the correct value for
`COLUMNS`, and then set that environment variable.
If `TIOCGWINSZ` is not available, we fall back to the hard-coded value
80 _and still_ set the environment variable.
On Windows this is a problem. The reason is that Git for
Windows uses a version of `less` that relies on the MSYS2 runtime to
interact with the pseudo terminal (typically inside a MinTTY window,
which is also aware of the MSYS2 runtime). Both MinTTY and `less.exe`
interact with that pseudo terminal via `ioctl()` calls (which the MSYS2
runtime emulates even if there is no such thing on Windows).
Since https://github.com/gwsw/less/commit/bb0ee4e76c2, `less` prefers
the `COLUMNS` variable over asking ncurses itself.
But `git.exe` itself is _not_ aware of the MSYS2 runtime, or for that
matter of that pseudo terminal, and has no way to call `ioctl()` or
`TIOCGWINSZ`.
Therefore, `git.exe` will fall back to hard-coding 80 columns, no matter
what the actual terminal size is.
But `less.exe` is totally able to interact with the MSYS2 runtime and
would not actually require Git's help (which actually makes things
worse here). So let's not override `COLUMNS` on Windows.
Let's just not set `COLUMNS` unless we managed to query the actual value
from the terminal.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3235

We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).
This patch converts all of the remaining files, as the resulting diff is
reasonably sized.
The conversion was done purely mechanically with:
git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
xargs perl -i -pe '
s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
s/argv_array/strvec/g;
'

There are a couple of places where we want to clear the last line on
the terminal, e.g. when a progress bar line is overwritten by a
shorter line, then the end of that progress line would remain visible,
unless we cover it up.
In 'progress.c' we did this by always appending a fixed number of
space characters to the next line (even if it was not shorter than the
previous), but as it turned out that fixed number was not quite large
enough, see the fix in 9f1fd84e15 (progress: clear previous progress
update dynamically, 2019-04-12). From then on we've been keeping
track of the length of the last displayed progress line and appending
the appropriate number of space characters to the next line, if
necessary, but, alas, this approach turned out to be error prone, see
the fix in 1aed1a5f25 (progress: avoid empty line when breaking the
progress line, 2019-05-19). The next patch in this series is about to
fix a case where we don't clear the last line, and on occasion do end
up with such garbage at the end of the line. It would be great if we
could do that without the need to deal with that without meticulously
computing the necessary number of space characters.
So add a helper function to clear the last line on the terminal using
an ANSI escape sequence, which has the advantage to clear the whole
line no matter how wide it is, even after the terminal width changed.
Such an escape sequence is not available on dumb terminals, though, so
in that case fall back to simply print a whole terminal width (as
reported by term_columns()) worth of space characters.
In 'editor.c' launch_specified_editor() already used this ANSI escape
sequence, so replace it with a call to this function.

After we invoke the pager, our stdout goes to a pipe, not the
terminal, meaning we can no longer use an ioctl to get the
terminal width. For that reason, ad6c3739a3 (pager: find out
the terminal width before spawning the pager, 2012-02-12)
started caching the terminal width.
But that cache is only an in-process variable. Any programs
we spawn will also not be able to run that ioctl, but won't
have access to our cache. They'll end up falling back to our
80-column default.
You can see the problem with:
git tag --column=row
Since git-tag spawns a pager these days, its spawned
git-column helper will see neither the terminal on stdout
nor a useful COLUMNS value (assuming you do not export it
from your shell already). And you'll end up with 80-column
output in the pager, regardless of your terminal size.
We can fix this by setting COLUMNS right before spawning the
pager. That fixes this case, as well as any more complicated
ones (e.g., a paged program spawns another script which then
generates columnized output).

The pager code is often run early in the git.c startup,
before we have actually found the repository. When we ask
git_config() to look for values like core.pager, it doesn't
know where to find the repo-level config, and will blindly
examine ".git/config" if it exists. That's why t7006 shows
that many pager-related features happen to work from the
top-level of a repository, but not from a subdirectory.
This patch pulls that ".git/config" hack explicitly into the
pager code. There are two reasons for this:
1. We'd like to clean up the git_config() behavior, as
looking at ".git/config" when we do not have a
configured repository is often the wrong thing to do.
But we'd prefer not to break the pager config any worse
than it already is.
2. It's one very tiny step on the road to ultimately
making the pager config work consistently. If we
eventually get an equivalent of setup_git_directory()
that _just_ finds the directory and doesn't chdir() or
set up any global state, we could plug it in here
(instead of blindly looking at ".git/config").

While the cached configset interface is more pleasant to
use, it is not appropriate for "early" config like pager
setup, which must sometimes do tricky things like reading
from ".git/config" even when we have not set up the
repository.
As a preparatory step to handling these cases better, let's
switch back to using the callback interface, which gives us
more control.
Note that this is essentially a revert of 586f414 (pager.c:

This variable is only ever used by the routines in pager.c,

In git_pager(), we really only care about getting the value
of core.pager. But to do so, we use the git_default_config()
callback, which loads many other values. Ordinarily it
isn't a big deal to load this config an extra time, as it
simply overwrites the values from the previous run. But it's
a bad idea here, for two reasons:
1. The pager setup may be called very early in the
program, before we have found the git repository. As a
result, we may fail to read the correct repo-level
config file. This is a problem for core.pager, too,
but we should at least try to minimize the pollution to
other configured values.
2. Because we call setup_pager() from git.c, basically
every builtin command _may_ end up reading this config
and getting an implicit git_default_config() setup.
Which doesn't sound like a terrible thing, except that
we don't do it consistently; it triggers only when
stdout is a tty. So if a command forgets to load the
default config itself (but depends on it anyway), it
may appear to work, and then mysteriously fail when the
pager is not in use.
We can improve this by loading _just_ the core.pager config
from git_pager().

The comment at the top of pager.c claims that we've split
the code out so that Windows can do something different.
This dates back to f67b45f (Introduce trivial new pager.c
helper infrastructure, 2006-02-28), because the original
implementation used fork(). Later, we ended up sticking the
Windows #ifdefs into this file anyway. And then even later,
in ea27a18 (spawn pager via run_command interface,
2008-07-22) we unified the implementations.
So these days this comment is really saying nothing at all.

Allowing PAGER_ENV to be set at build-time allows us to move

set a better default for FreeBSD more(1), which pretends not to
understand ANSI color escapes if the MORE environment variable
is left empty, but accepts the same variables as less(1)

Allocation related functions and stdio are unsafe things to call
inside a signal handler, and indeed killing the pager can cause
glibc to deadlock waiting on allocation mutex as our signal handler
tries to free() some data structures in wait_for_pager(). Reduce
these unsafe calls.
* ti/glibc-stdio-mutex-from-signal-handler:
pager: don't use unsafe functions in signal handlers
|
|
Since the commit a3da8821208d (pager: do wait_for_pager on signal
death), we call wait_for_pager() in the pager's signal handler. The
recent bug report revealed that this causes a deadlock in glibc at
aborting "git log" [*1*]. When this happens, git process is left
unterminated, and it can't be killed by SIGTERM but only by SIGKILL.
The problem is that wait_for_pager() function does more than waiting
for pager process's termination, but it does cleanups and printing
errors. Unfortunately, the functions that may be used in a signal
handler are very limited [*2*]. Particularly, malloc(), free() and the
variants can't be used in a signal handler because they take a mutex
internally in glibc. This was the cause of the deadlock above. Other
than the direct calls of malloc/free, many functions calling
malloc/free can't be used. strerror() is such one, either.
Also the usage of fflush() and printf() in a signal handler is bad,
although it seems working so far. In a safer side, we should avoid
them, too.
This patch tries to reduce the calls of such functions in signal
handlers. wait_for_signal() takes a flag and avoids the unsafe
calls. Also, finish_command_in_signal() is introduced for the
same reason. There the free() calls are removed, and only waits for
the children without whining at errors.

Because the configuration system does not allow "alias.0foo" and
"pager.0foo" as the configuration key, the user cannot use '0foo'
as a custom command name anyway, but "git 0foo" tried to look these
keys up and emitted useless warnings before saying '0foo is not a
git command'. These warning messages have been squelched.
* jk/fix-alias-pager-config-key-warnings:
config: silence warnings for command names with invalid keys
|
|
When we are running the git command "foo", we may have to
look up the config keys "pager.foo" and "alias.foo". These
config schemes are mis-designed, as the command names can be
anything, but the config syntax has some restrictions. For
example:
$ git foo_bar
error: invalid key: pager.foo_bar
error: invalid key: alias.foo_bar
git: 'foo_bar' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
You cannot name an alias with an underscore. And if you have
an external command with one, you cannot configure its
pager.
In the long run, we may develop a different config scheme
for these features. But in the near term (and because we'll
need to support the existing scheme indefinitely), we should
at least squelch the error messages shown above.
These errors come from git_config_parse_key. Ideally we
would pass a "quiet" flag to the config machinery, but there
are many layers between the pager code and the key parsing.
Passing a flag through all of those would be an invasive
change.
Instead, let's provide a config function to report on
whether a key is syntactically valid, and have the pager and
alias code skip lookup for bogus keys. We can build this
easily around the existing git_config_parse_key, with two
minor modifications:
1. We now handle a NULL store_key, to validate but not
write out the normalized key.
2. We accept a "quiet" flag to avoid writing to stderr.
This doesn't need to be a full-blown public "flags"
field, because we can make the existing implementation
a static helper function, keeping the mess contained
inside config.c.

When you say "!<ENTER>" while running say "git log", you'd confuse
yourself in the resulting shell, that may look as if you took
control back to the original shell you spawned "git log" from but
that isn't what is happening. To that new shell, we leaked
GIT_PAGER_IN_USE environment variable that was meant as a local
communication between the original "Git" and subprocesses that was
spawned by it after we launched the pager, which caused many
"interesting" things to happen, e.g. "git diff | cat" still paints
its output in color by default.
Stop leaking that environment variable to the pager's half of the
fork; we only need it on "Git" side when we spawn the pager.
* jc/unexport-git-pager-in-use-in-pager:
pager: do not leak "GIT_PAGER_IN_USE" to the pager
|
|
Since 2e6c012e (setup_pager: set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE, 2011-08-17), we
export GIT_PAGER_IN_USE so that a process that becomes the upstream
of the spawned pager can still tell that we have spawned the pager
and decide to do colored output even when its output no longer goes
to a terminal (i.e. isatty(1)).
But we forgot to clear it from the enviornment of the spawned pager.
This is not a problem in a sane world, but if you have a handful of
thousands Git users in your organization, somebody is bound to do
strange things, e.g. typing "!<ENTER>" instead of 'q' to get control
back from $LESS. GIT_PAGER_IN_USE is still set in that subshell
spawned by "less", and all sorts of interesting things starts
happening, e.g. "git diff | cat" starts coloring its output.
We can clear the environment variable in the half of the fork that
runs the pager to avoid the confusion.

We didn't format an integer that wouldn't fit in "int" but in
"uintmax_t" correctly.
* jk/decimal-width-for-uintmax:
decimal_width: avoid integer overflow
|
|
The decimal_width function originally appeared in blame.c as
"lineno_width", and was designed for calculating the
print-width of small-ish integer values (line numbers in
text files). In ec7ff5b, it was made into a reusable
function, and in dc801e7, we started using it to align
diffstats.
Binary files in a diffstat show byte counts rather than line
numbers, meaning they can be quite large (e.g., consider
adding or removing a 2GB file). decimal_width is not up to
the challenge for two reasons:
1. It takes the value as an "int", whereas large files may
easily surpass this. The value may be truncated, in
which case we will produce an incorrect value.
2. It counts "up" by repeatedly multiplying another
integer by 10 until it surpasses the value. This can
cause an infinite loop when the value is close to the
largest representable integer.
For example, consider using a 32-bit signed integer,
and a value of 2,140,000,000 (just shy of 2^31-1).
We will count up and eventually see that 1,000,000,000
is smaller than our value. The next step would be to
multiply by 10 and see that 10,000,000,000 is too
large, ending the loop. But we can't represent that
value, and we have signed overflow.
This is technically undefined behavior, but a common
behavior is to lose the high bits, in which case our
iterator will certainly be less than the number. So
we'll keep multiplying, overflow again, and so on.
This patch changes the argument to a uintmax_t (the same
type we use to store the diffstat information for binary
filese), and counts "down" by repeatedly dividing our value
by 10.

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

If the user specifies a pager of "cat" (or the empty
string), whether it is in the environment or from config, we
automagically optimize it out to mean "no pager" and avoid
forking at all. We treat an empty pager variable similary.
However, we did not apply this optimization when
DEFAULT_PAGER was set to "cat" (or the empty string). There
is no reason to treat DEFAULT_PAGER any differently. The
optimization should not be user-visible (unless the user has
a bizarre "cat" in their PATH). And even if it is, we are
better off behaving consistently between the compile-time
default and the environment and config settings.
The stray "else" we are removing from this code was
introduced by 402461a (pager: do not fork a pager if PAGER
is set to empty., 2006-04-16). At that time, the line
directly above used:
if (!pager)
pager = "less";
as a fallback, meaning that it could not possibly trigger
the optimization. Later, a3d023d (Provide a build time
default-pager setting, 2009-10-30) turned that constant into
a build-time setting which could be anything, but didn't
loosen the "else" to let DEFAULT_PAGER use the optimization.

Commit 35ce862 (pager: Work around window resizing bug in
'less', 2007-01-24) causes git's pager sub-process to wait
to receive input after forking but before exec-ing the
pager. To handle this, run-command had to grow a "pre-exec
callback" feature. Unfortunately, this feature does not work
at all on Windows (where we do not fork), and interacts
poorly with run-command's parent notification system. Its
use should be discouraged.
The bug in less was fixed in version 406, which was released
in June 2007. It is probably safe at this point to remove
our workaround. That lets us rip out the preexec_cb feature

We have always set a global "spawned_pager" variable when we
start the pager. This lets us make the auto-color decision
later in the program as as "we are outputting to a terminal,
or to a pager which can handle colors".
Commit 6e9af86 added support for the GIT_PAGER_IN_USE
environment variable. An external program calling git (e.g.,
git-svn) could set this variable to indicate that it had
already started the pager, and that the decision about
auto-coloring should take that into account.
However, 6e9af86 failed to do the reverse, which is to tell
external programs when git itself has started the pager.
Thus a git command implemented as an external script that
has the pager turned on (e.g., "git -p stash show") would
not realize it was going to a pager, and would suppress
colors.
This patch remedies that; we always set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE
when we start the pager, and the value is respected by both
this program and any spawned children.

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'.

Since ea27a18 (spawn pager via run_command interface), the
original git process actually does git work, and the pager
is a child process (actually, on Windows it has always been
that way, since Windows lacks fork). After spawning the
pager, we register an atexit() handler that waits for the
pager to finish.
Unfortunately, that handler does not always run. In
particular, if git is killed by a signal, then we exit
immediately. The calling shell then thinks that git is done;
however, the pager is still trying to run and impact the
terminal. The result can be seen by running a long git
process with a pager (e.g., "git log -p") and hitting ^C.
Depending on your config, you should see the shell prompt,
but pressing a key causes the pager to do any terminal
de-initialization sequence.
This patch just intercepts any death-dealing signals and
waits for the pager before dying. Under typical less
configuration, that means hitting ^C will cause git to stop
generating output, but the pager will keep running.

standard error when $PAGER is in effect by dup2'ing fd 2 to the pager.
his way, showing a tag object that points to a bad object:
$ git show tag-foo
would give the error message to the pager. However, it was not quite
right if the user did:
$ git show 2>error.log tag-foo
i.e. use the pager but store the errors in a separate file.

This has two important effects:
1. The pager is now the _child_ process, instead of the
parent. This means that whatever spawned git (e.g., the
shell) will see the exit code of the git process, and
not the pager.
2. The mingw and regular code are now unified, which makes
the setup_pager function much simpler.
There are two caveats:
1. We used to call execlp directly on the pager, followed
by trying to exec it via the shall. We now just use the
shell (which is what mingw has always done). This may
have different results for pager names which contain
shell metacharacters.
It is also slightly less efficient because we
unnecessarily run the shell; however, pager spawning is
by definition an interactive task, so it shouldn't be
a huge problem.
2. The git process will remain in memory while the user
looks through the pager. This is potentially wasteful.
We could get around this by turning the parent into a
meta-process which spawns _both_ git and the pager,
collects the exit status from git, waits for both to
end, and then exits with git's exit code.

Since we have neither fork() nor exec(), we have to spawn the pager and
feed it with the program's output.

git_config() only had a function parameter, but no callback data
parameter. This assumes that all callback functions only modify
global variables.
With this patch, every callback gets a void * parameter, and it is hoped
that this will help the libification effort.

If you do this (and you are not an Emacs user who uses PAGER=cat
in your *shell* buffer):
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
$ echo hello world >foo
$ H=$(git hash-object -w foo)
$ git tag -a foo-tag -m "Tags $H" $H
$ echo $H
3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad
$ rm -f .git/objects/3b/18e5*
$ git show foo-tag
tag foo-tag
Tagger: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Tags 3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad
you do not get any indication of error. If you are careful, you
would notice that no contents from the tagged object is
displayed, but that is about it. If you run the "show" command
without pager, however, you will see the error:
$ git --no-pager show foo-tag
tag foo-tag
Tagger: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date: Sat Feb 16 10:43:23 2008 -0800

error: Could not read object 3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad
Because we spawn the pager as the foreground process and feed
its input via pipe from the real command, we cannot affect the
exit status the shell sees from git command when the pager is in
use (I think there is not much gain we can have by working it
around, though). But at least it may make sense to show the
error message to the user sitting in front of the pager.
[jc: Edgar Toernig suggested a much nicer implementation than
what I originally posted, which I took.]

When deciding whether or not to turn on automatic color
support, git_config_colorbool checks whether stdout is a
tty. However, because we run a pager, if stdout is not a
tty, we must check whether it is because we started the
pager. This used to be done by checking the pager_in_use
variable.
This variable was set only when the git program being run
started the pager; there was no way for an external program
running git indicate that it had already started a pager.
This patch allows a program to set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE to a
true value to indicate that even though stdout is not a tty,
it is because a pager is being used.

It was very unfortunate that we added core.pager setting to the
configuration file; even when the underlying command does not care
if there is no git repository is involved (think "git diff --no-index"),
the user would now rightfully want the configuration setting to be
honored, which means we would need to read the configuration file before
we launch the pager.
This is a minimum change in the sense that it restores the old
behaviour of not even reading config in setup_git_directory(),
but have the core.pager honored when we know it matters.
Note that this does not cover "git -p --git-dir where command";
the -p option immediately trigger the pager settings before we
even see --git-dir to learn where the configuration file is, so
we will end up reading the configuration from the place where
we would _normally_ find the git repository.

If you resize the terminal while less is waiting for input, less
will exit entirely without even showing the output. This is very
noticeable if you do something like "git diff" on a big and
cold-cache tree and git takes a few seconds to think, and then
you resize the window while it's preparing. Boom. No output AT
ALL.
The way to reproduce the problem is to do some pager operation
that takes a while in git, and resizing the window while git is
thinking about the output. Try
git diff --stat v2.6.12..
in the kernel tree to do something where it takes a while for git to start
outputting information.

On one of my systems, the linker is not intelligent enough to link with
pager.o (in libgit.a) when only the variable pager_in_use is needed. The
consequence is that the linker complains about an undefined variable. So,
put the variable into environment.o, where it is linked always.

This allows you to say:
git -p diff v2.6.16-rc5..
and the command pipes the output of any git command to your pager.

When $PAGER is set to 'less -i', we used to fail because we
assumed the $PAGER is a command and simply exec'ed it.
Try exec first, and then run it through shell if it fails. This
allows even funkier PAGERs like these ;-):
PAGER='sed -e "s/^/`date`: /" | more'
PAGER='contrib/colordiff.perl | less -RS'
