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.

We used to unconditionally disable the pager in the pager process
we spawn to feed out output, but that prevented people who want to
run "less" within "less" from doing so.
* je/pager-do-not-recurse:
pager: do allow spawning pager recursively
|
|
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.

This reverts commit 88e8f908f2b0c56f9ccf8134d8ff9f689af9cc84, which
tried to allow
GIT_PAGER="git -p column --mode='dense color'" git -p branch
and still wanted to avoid "git -p column" to invoke itself. However,
this falls into "don't do that -p then" category.
In particular, inside "git log", with results going through less, a
potentially interesting commit may be found and from there inside
"less", the user may want to execute "git show <commit>". Before
the commit being reverted, this used to show the patch in less but
it no longer does.

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).

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
entirely.

git-column can be used as a pager for other git commands, something
like this:
GIT_PAGER="git -p column --mode='dense color'" git -p branch
The problem with this is that "git -p column" also has $GIT_PAGER set so
the pager runs itself again as another pager. The end result is an
infinite loop of forking. Other git commands have the same problem if
being abused this way.
Check if $GIT_PAGER is already set and stop launching another pager.

term_columns() checks for terminal width via ioctl(2) on the standard

"git help --all" uses the full terminal width. Run the check before we

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'.

Provide a DEFAULT_PAGER knob so packagers can set the fallback
pager to something appropriate during the build.
Examples:
On (old) solaris systems, /usr/bin/less (typically the first less
found) doesn't understand the default arguments (FXRS), which
forces users to alter their environment (PATH, GIT_PAGER, LESS,
etc) or have a local or global gitconfig before paging works as
expected.
On Debian systems, by policy packages must fall back to the

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.

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.

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.

This adds a configuration variable that performs the same function as,
but is overridden by, GIT_PAGER.

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.

Recent change to paginate "git diff" by default is often irritating
when you do not have any change (or very small change) in your working
tree.

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.
[jc: this resurrects a month old RFC patch with improvement
suggested by Linus to call it --paginate instead of --less.]

This patch is a slightly adjusted version of Junio's patch:
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0604/19354.html
However, instead of using a config variable, this patch makes it available
as a diff option.

* fix:
git-log produces no output

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'
