git-send-email.perl: Handle shell metacharacters in $EDITOR properly

This fixes the git-send-perl semantics for launching an editor when
$GIT_EDITOR (or friends) contains shell metacharacters to match
launch_editor() in builtin-tag.c. If we use the current approach
(sh -c '$0 $@' "$EDITOR" files ...), we see it fails when $EDITOR has
shell metacharacters:

  $ sh -x -c '$0 $@' "$VISUAL" "foo"
  + "$FAKE_EDITOR" foo
  "$FAKE_EDITOR": 1: "$FAKE_EDITOR": not found

Whereas builtin-tag.c will invoke sh -c "$EDITOR \"$@\"".

Thus, this patch changes git-send-email.perl to use the same method as the
C utilities, and additionally updates t/t9001-send-email.sh to test for
this bug.

config.c: Escape backslashes in section names properly

If an element of the configuration key name other than the first or last
contains a backslash, it is not escaped on output, but is treated as an
escape sequence on input. Thus, the backslash is lost when re-loading
the configuration.

introduces a new test for this bug.

git-svn: Same default as cvsimport when using --use-log-author

When using git-cvsimport, the author is inferred from the cvs commit,
e.g. cvs commit logname is foobaruser, then the author field in git
results in:

Author: foobaruser <foobaruser>

Which is not perfect, but perfectly acceptable given the circumstances.

The default git-svn import however, results in:

Author: foobaruser <foobaruser@acf43c95-373e-0410-b603-e72c3f656dc1>

When using mixes of imports, from CVS and SVN into the same git
repository, you'd like to harmonise the imports to the format cvsimport
uses.
git-svn supports an experimental option --use-log-author which currently
results in the same logentry as without that option when no From: or
Signed-off-by: is found in the logentry ($email currently ends up empty,
and hence is generated again).

This patches harmonises the result with cvsimport, and makes
git-svn --use-log-author produce:

remote: create fetch config lines with '+'

Since git-remote always uses remote tracking branches, it
should be safe to always force updates of those branches.
I.e., we should generate

  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/$remote/*

instead of

  fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/$remote/*

This was the behavior of the perl version, which seems to
have been lost in the C rewrite.

16 years agopush: allow unqualified dest refspecs to DWIM
Jeff King [Wed, 23 Apr 2008 09:16:06 +0000 (05:16 -0400)]
push: allow unqualified dest refspecs to DWIM

Previously, a push like:

  git push remote src:dst

would go through the following steps:

  1. check for an unambiguous 'dst' on the remote; if it
     exists, then push to that ref
  2. otherwise, check if 'dst' begins with 'refs/'; if it
     does, create a new ref
  3. otherwise, complain because we don't know where in the
     refs hierarchy to put 'dst'

However, in some cases, we can guess about the ref type of
'dst' based on the ref type of 'src'. Specifically, before
complaining we now check:

  2.5. if 'src' resolves to a ref starting with refs/heads
       or refs/tags, then prepend that to 'dst'

So now this creates a new branch on the remote, whereas it
previously failed with an error message:

  git push master:newbranch

Note that, by design, we limit this DWIM behavior only to
source refs which resolve exactly (including symrefs which
resolve to existing refs). We still complain on a partial
destination refspec if the source is a raw sha1, or a ref
expression such as 'master~10'.

gitweb: Fix 'history' view for deleted files with history

When asked for history of a file which is not present in given branch
("HEAD", i.e. current branch, or given by transient $hash_hase ('hb')
parameter), but is present deeper in the history (meaning that "git
rev-list --full-history $hash_base -- $file_name" is not empty), and
there is no $hash ('h') parameter set for a file, gitweb would spew
multiple of "Use of uninitialized value" warnings, and some links
would be missing.  This commit fixes this bug.

This bug occurs in the rare cases when "git log -- <path>" is empty
and "git log --full-history -- <path>" is not, or to be more exact in
the cases when full-history starts later than given branch.  It can
happen if you are using handcrafted gitwb URL, or if you follow
generic 'history' link or bookmark for a file which got deleted.

Gitweb tried to get file type ('tree', or 'blob', or even 'commit')
from the commit we start searching from (where the file was not
present), and not among found commits.  This was the cause of "Use of
uninitialized value" warnings.

This commit also add tests for such situation to t9500 test.

While we are it, return HTTP error if there is _no_ history; it means
that file or directory was not found (for given branch).  Also error
out if type of item could not be found: it should not happen now, but
better be sure.

rebase: do not munge commit log message

Traditionally git-rebase was implemented in terms of "format-patch" piped
to "am -3", to strike balance between speed (because it avoids a rather
expensive read-tree/merge-recursive machinery most of the time) and
flexibility (the magic "-3" allows it to fall back to 3-way merge as
necessary).  However, this combination has one flaw when dealing with a
nonstandard commit log message format that has more than one lines in the
first paragraph.

This teaches "git am --rebasing" to take advantage of the fact that the
mbox message "git rebase" prepares for it records the original commit
object name, to get the log message from the original commit object

after having already marked some revisions as "good", "bad" or
"skip".

This could be especilally bad for "git bisect start" because as
the file ".git/BISECT_NAMES" would not have been written, there
would have been no attempt to clear the marked revisions on a
"git bisect reset". That's because if there is no
".git/BISECT_NAMES" file, nothing is done to clean things up, as
the bisect session is not supposed to have started.

While at it, let's also create the ".git/BISECT_START" file, only
after ".git/BISECT_NAMES" as been created.

The problem is that when "git symbolic-ref HEAD" fails, it

bisect start" failed and does not accept detached HEAD, even if
in fact it worked fine.
