Improve error messages when int/long cannot be parsed from config

we may discover some other option joined up against the end of a
numeric value.  For example:

[section]

"number", but the missing LF has caused it to no longer be its
own option.  Instead the word "auto" is parsed as a 'unit factor'
for the value of "number".

Before this change we got the confusing error message:

  fatal: unknown unit: 'auto'

which told us nothing about where the problem appeared.  Now we get:

The tar-ball and the git archive itself is fine, but yes, the diff from

Very interesting breakage. The patch was actually "correct" in a (rather
limited) technical sense, but the context at the end was missing because
while the trim_common_tail() code made sure to keep enough common context
to allow a valid diff to be generated, the diff machinery itself could
decide that it could generate the diff differently than the "obvious"
solution.

Thee sad fact is that the git optimization (which is very important for
"git blame", which needs no context), is only really valid for that one
case where we really don't need any context.

16 years agogit-svn: workaround a for broken symlinks in SVN
Eric Wong [Wed, 19 Dec 2007 08:06:45 +0000 (00:06 -0800)]
git-svn: workaround a for broken symlinks in SVN

It's possible for bad clients to commit symlinks without the
5-character "link " prefix in symlinks.  So guard around this
bug in SVN and make a best effort to create symlinks if the
"link " prefix is missing.

More information on this SVN bug is described here:
  http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2692

To be pedantic, there is still a corner case that neither we nor
SVN can handle:  If somebody made a link using a broken SVN
client where "link " is the first part of its path, e.g.
"link sausage", then we'd end up having a symlink which points
to "sausage" because we incorrectly stripped the "link ".
Hopefully this hasn't happened in practice, but if it has,
it's not our fault SVN is broken :)

Thanks to Benoit Sigoure and Sverre Johansen for reporting
and feedback.

git-svn: avoid leaving leftover committer/author info in rebase

We set the 6 environment variables for controlling
committer/author email/name/time for every commit.

We do this in the parent process to be passed to
git-commit-tree, because open3() doesn't afford us the control
of doing it only in the child process.  This means we leave them
hanging around in the main process until the next revision comes
around and all 6 environment variables are overwridden again.

Unfortunately, for the last commit, leaving them hanging around
means the git-rebase invocation will pick it up, rewriting the
rebased commit with incorrect author information.  This should fix
it.

git-help: add "help.format" config variable.

This config variable makes it possible to choose the default format
used to display help. This format will be used only if no option
like -a|--all|-i|--info|-m|--man|-w|--web is passed to "git-help".

- "info" --> "info" program is used
- "web"  --> "git-browse-help" is used

This patch also adds -m|--man command line option to use "man"
to allow overriding the "help.format" configuration variable.

variables in the global configuration file.

cvsexportcommit: fix massive commits

Because we feed the changed filenames to CVS on the command
line, it was possible for massive commits to overflow the
system exec limits. Instead, we now do an xargs-like split
of the arguments.

This means that we lose some of the atomicity of calling CVS
in one shot. Since CVS commits are not atomic, but the CVS
protocol is, the possible effects of this are not clear;
however, since CVS doesn't provide a different interface,
this is our only option for large commits (short of writing
a CVS client library).

The argument size limit is arbitrarily set to 64kB. This
should be high enough to trigger only in rare cases where it
is necessary, so normal-sized commits are not affected by
the atomicity change.
