An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the
real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused
the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling.
* mh/ceiling:
string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function
setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths
longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized
longest_ancestor_length(): take a string_list argument for prefixes
longest_ancestor_length(): use string_list_split()
Introduce new function real_path_if_valid()
real_path_internal(): add comment explaining use of cwd
Introduce new static function real_path_internal()

traversal API has a few potentially confusing properties. These
comments clarify a few key aspects and will hopefully make it easier
to understand for other newcomers in the future.

A cache-tree entry with a negative entry count is considered invalid
by the current Git; it records that we do not know the object name
of a tree that would result by writing the directory covered by the
cache-tree as a tree object.
Clarify that any entry with a negative entry count is invalid, but
the implementations must write -1 there. This way, we can later
decide to allow writers to use negative values other than -1 to
encode optional information on such invalidated entries without
harming interoperability; we do not know what will be encoded and
how, so we keep these other negative values as reserved for now.

This function was added in f103f95b11d087f07c0c48bf784cd9197e18f203 in
the erroneous expectation that it would be used in the
reimplementation of longest_ancestor_length(). But it turned out to
be easier to use a function specialized for comparing path prefixes
(i.e., one that knows about slashes and root paths) than to prepare
the paths in such a way that a generic string prefix comparison
function can be used. So delete string_list_longest_prefix() and its
documentation and test cases.

The recent work on using string_list to represent the list of refs
that matched with the refs on the other side during fetch heavily
depends on the sort order by string_list's implementation, and
changing string_list will break it. Document that it uses strcmp()
order, at least for now.

Add two new functions, string_list_split() and
string_list_split_in_place(). These split a string into a string_list
on a separator character. The first makes copies of the substrings
(leaving the input string untouched) and the second splits the
original string in place, overwriting the separator characters with
NULs and referring to the original string's memory.
These functions are similar to the strbuf_split_*() functions except
that they work with the more powerful string_list interface.

Use argv-array API in "git fetch" implementation.
* jk/argv-array:
submodule: use argv_array instead of hand-building arrays
fetch: use argv_array instead of hand-building arrays
argv-array: fix bogus cast when freeing array
argv-array: add pop function
|
|
Sometimes we build a set of similar command lines, differing
only in the final arguments (e.g., "fetch --multiple"). To
use argv_array for this, you have to either push the same
set of elements repeatedly, or break the abstraction by
manually manipulating the array's internal members.
Instead, let's provide a sanctioned "pop" function to remove
elements from the end.

Finishing touches...
* mm/api-credentials-doc:
docs: fix cross-directory linkgit references
|
|
Most of our documentation is in a single directory, so using
linkgit:git-config[1] just generates a relative link in the
same directory. However, this is not the case with the API
documentation in technical/*, which need to refer to
git-config from the parent directory.
We can fix this by passing a special prefix attribute when building
in a subdirectory, and respecting that prefix in our linkgit
definitions.
We only have to modify the html linkgit definition. For
manpages, we can ignore this for two reasons:
1. we do not generate actual links to the file in
manpages, but instead just give the name and section of
the linked manpage
2. we do not currently build manpages for subdirectories,
only html

The API documentation targets two kinds of developers: those using the
C API, and those writing remote-helpers. The document was not clear
about which part was useful to which category, and for example, the C API
could be mistakenly thought as an API for writting remote helpers.
