2013-12-12Merge branch 'mh/fetch-tags-in-addition-to-normal-refs'Junio C Hamano
The "--tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy "git fetch" default that is configured, and (2) also as an explicit refspec given from the command line, it interacted with "--prune" to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not have. This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what remote-tracking refs the local has are missing the remote counterpart. * mh/fetch-tags-in-addition-to-normal-refs: (23 commits) fetch: improve the error messages emitted for conflicting refspecs handle_duplicate(): mark error message for translation ref_remote_duplicates(): extract a function handle_duplicate() ref_remove_duplicates(): simplify loop logic t5536: new test of refspec conflicts when fetching ref_remove_duplicates(): avoid redundant bisection git-fetch.txt: improve description of tag auto-following fetch-options.txt: simplify ifdef/ifndef/endif usage fetch, remote: properly convey --no-prune options to subprocesses builtin/remote.c:update(): use struct argv_array builtin/remote.c: reorder function definitions query_refspecs(): move some constants out of the loop fetch --prune: prune only based on explicit refspecs fetch --tags: fetch tags *in addition to* other stuff fetch: only opportunistically update references based on command line get_expanded_map(): avoid memory leak get_expanded_map(): add docstring builtin/fetch.c: reorder function definitions get_ref_map(): rename local variables api-remote.txt: correct section "struct refspec" ...
2013-12-09connect.c: refactor url parsingTorsten Bögershausen
Make the function is_local() in transport.c public, rename it into url_is_local_not_ssh() and use it in both transport.c and connect.c Use a protocol "local" for URLs for the local file system. One note about using file:// under Windows: The (absolute) path on Unix like system typically starts with "/". When the host is empty, it can be omitted, so that a shell scriptlet url=file://$pwd will give a URL like "file:///home/user/repo". Windows does not have the same concept of a root directory located in "/". When parsing the URL allow "file://C:/user/repo" (even if RFC1738 indicates that "file:///C:/user/repo" should be used).

2013-12-09git fetch: support host:/~repoTorsten Bögershausen
The documentation (in urls.txt) says that "ssh://host:/~repo", "host:/~repo" or "host:~repo" specify the repository "repo" in the home directory at "host". This has not been working for "host:/~repo". Before commit 356bec "Support [address] in URLs", the comparison "url != hostname" could be used to determine if the URL had a scheme or not: "ssh://host/host" != "host". However, after 356bec "[::1]" was converted into "::1", yielding url != hostname as well. To fix this regression, don't use "if (url != hostname)", but look at the separator instead.

2013-12-06config: arbitrary number of matches for --unset and --replace-allThomas Rast
git-config used a static match array to hold the matches we want to unset/replace when using --unset or --replace-all. Use a variable-sized array instead. This in particular fixes the symptoms git-svn had when storing large numbers of svn-remote.*.added-placeholder entries in the config file. While the tests are rather more paranoid than just --unset and --replace-all, the other operations already worked. Indeed git-svn's usage only breaks the first time *after* creating so many entries, when it wants to unset and re-add them all.

2013-12-05commit -v: strip diffs and submodule shortlogs from the commit messageJens Lehmann
When using the '-v' option of "git commit" the diff added to the commit message temporarily for editing is stripped off after the user exited the editor by searching for "\ndiff --git " and truncating the commmit message there if it is found. But this approach has two problems: - when the commit message itself contains a line starting with "diff --git" it will be truncated there prematurely; and - when the "diff.submodule" setting is set to "log", the diff may start with "Submodule <hash1>..<hash2>", which will be left in the commit message while it shouldn't. Fix that by introducing a special scissor separator line starting with the comment character ('#' or the core.commentChar config if set) followed by two lines describing what it is for. The scissor line - which will not be translated - is used to reliably detect the start of the diff so it can be chopped off from the commit message, no matter what the user enters there. Turn a known test failure fixed by this change into a successful test; also add one for a diff starting with a submodule log and another one for proper handling of the comment char.

2013-12-05Merge branch 'ak/submodule-foreach-quoting'Junio C Hamano
A behavior change, but a worthwhile one: "git submodule foreach" was treating its arguments as part of a single command to be concatenated and passed to a shell, making writing buggy scripts too easy. This patch preserves the old "just pass it to the shell" behavior when a single argument is passed to 'git submodule foreach' and moves to a new "skip the shell and use the arguments passed unmolested" behavior when more than one argument is passed. The old behavior (always concatenating and passing to the shell) was similar to the 'ssh' command, while the new behavior (switching on the number of arguments) is what 'xterm -e' does. May need more thought to make sure this change is advertised well so that scripts that used multiple arguments but added their own extra layer of quoting are not broken. * ak/submodule-foreach-quoting: submodule foreach: skip eval for more than one argument
2013-12-05t5000: simplify gzip prerequisite checksJeff King
In t5000, we test the built-in ".tar.gz" config for git-archive. To make our tests portable, we check that we have a way to both gzip and gunzip, and we respected environment variables to point to alternate commands for doing these operations. However, the $GZIP variable did not actually do anything, as changing it would not affect the baked-in value in archive-tar.c. Moreover, setting the variable $GZIP influences gzip itself. From the gzip man page: The environment variable GZIP can hold a set of default options for gzip. These options are interpreted first and can be overwritten by explicit command line parameters. We could rename this variable, and use it to set up custom config (or even have a Makefile knob to affect the built binary), but it is not worth the trouble; nobody has ever reported a problem with the baked-in default, and they can always change it via config if they need to. Let's just drop the variable and use "gzip" in the test (keeping the prerequisite, of course). While we're at it, we can drop the GUNZIP variable and prerequisite; it uses "gzip -d", so if we have GZIP, we will have both. We can also use test_lazy_prereq for the gzip prerequisite, which is simpler and behaves more consistently with the rest of git (e.g., by making output available when the test is run with "-v").

2013-12-02submodule: do not copy unknown update mode from .gitmodulesJunio C Hamano
When submodule.$name.update is given as hint from the upstream in the .gitmodules file, we used to blindly copy it to .git/config, unless there already is a value defined for the submodule. However, there is no reason to expect that the update mode hinted by the upstream is available in the version of Git the user is using, and a really custom "!cmd" prepared by an upstream person running on Linux may not even be available to a user on Windows. It is simply irresponsible to copy the setting blindly and to attempt to use it during a later "submodule update" without validating it first. Just show the suggested value to the diagnostic output, and set the value to 'none' in the configuration, if it is not one of the ones that are known to be supported by this version of Git.

2013-11-26remove #!interpreter line from shell librariesJonathan Nieder
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}).

2013-11-26test: replace shebangs with descriptions in shell librariesJonathan Nieder

2013-11-21drop support for "experimental" loose objectsJeff King
In git v1.4.3, we introduced a new loose object format that encoded some object information outside of the zlib stream. Ultimately the format was dropped in v1.5.3, but we kept the reading side around to help people migrate objects. Each time we open a loose object, we use a heuristic to check whether it is in the normal loose format, or the experimental one. This heuristic is robust in the face of valid data, but it tends to treat corrupted or garbage data as an experimental object. With the regular format, we would notice quickly that zlib's crc does not check out and complain. With the experimental object, we are likely to extract a nonsensical object size and try to allocate a huge buffer, resulting in xmalloc calling "die". This latter behavior is much worse, for two reasons. One, git reports an allocation error when the real error is corruption. And two, the program dies unconditionally, so you cannot even run fsck (which would otherwise ignore the broken object and keep going). We could try to improve the heuristic to err on the side of normal objects in the face of corruption, but there is really little point. The experimental format is long-dead, and was never enabled by default to begin with. We can instead simply remove it. The only affected repository would be one that explicitly set core.legacyheaders in 2007, and then never repacked in the intervening 6 years.
