gitweb: Fix handling of fractional timezones in parse_date
Fractional timezones, like -0330 (NST used in Canada) or +0430
(Afghanistan, Iran DST), were not handled properly in parse_date; this
means values such as 'minute_local' and 'iso-tz' were not generated
correctly.
This was caused by two mistakes:
* sign of timezone was applied only to hour part of offset, and not
as it should be also to minutes part (this affected only negative
fractional timezones).
* 'int $h + $m/60' is 'int($h + $m/60)' and not 'int($h) + $m/60',
so fractional part was discarded altogether ($h is hours, $m is
minutes, which is always less than 60).
Note that positive fractional timezones +0430, +0530 and +1030 can be
found as authortime in git.git repository itself.
For example http://repo.or.cz/w/git.git/commit/88d50e7 had authortime
of "Fri, 8 Jan 2010 18:48:07 +0000 (23:48 +0530)", which is not marked
with 'atnight', when "git show 88d50e7" gives correct author date of
"Sat Jan 9 00:18:07 2010 +0530".

git-am.txt: advertise 'git am --abort' instead of 'rm .git/rebase-apply'
'git am --abort' is around for quite a long time now, and users should
normally not poke around inside the .git directory, yet the
documentation of 'git am' still recommends the following:
... if you decide to start over from scratch,
run `rm -f -r .git/rebase-apply` ...
Suggest 'git am --abort' instead.
It's not quite the same as the original, because 'git am --abort' will
restore the original branch, while simply removing '.git/rebase-apply'
won't, but that's rather a thinko in the original wording, because
that won't actually "start over _from scratch_".

bisect: visualize with git-log if gitk is unavailable
If gitk is not available in the PATH, bisect ends up
exiting with the shell's 127 error code, confusing the git
wrapper into thinking that bisect is not a git command.
We already fallback to git-log if there doesn't seem to be a
graphical display available. We should do the same if gitk
is not available in our PATH at all. This not only fixes the
ugly error message, but is a much more sensible default than
failing to show the user anything.

Work around broken ln on solaris as used in t8006
The test setup in t8006-blame-textconv.sh uses "ln -sf" to
overwrite an existing symlink. Unfortunately, both /usr/bin/ln
and /usr/xpg4/bin/ln on solaris 9 don't properly handle -f and -s
used at the same time. This caused the test setup and subsequent
checks to fail.
Instead, remove the symlink and then create a new one in the
setup code.

gitweb: highlight: replace tabs with spaces
Consider the following code fragment:
/*
* test
*/
vim ":set list" mode shows that the first character on each line is a
tab:
^I/*$
^I * test$
^I */$
By default, the "highlight" program will retain the tabs in the HTML
output:
$ highlight --fragment --syntax c test.c
<span class="hl com">/*</span>
<span class="hl com"> * test</span>
<span class="hl com"> */</span>
vim list mode:
^I<span class="hl com">/*</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I * test</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I */</span>$
In gitweb, this winds up looking something like:
1 /*
2 * test
3 */
I tried both Firefox and Opera and saw the same behavior.
The desired output is:
1 /*
2 * test
3 */
This can be accomplished by specifying "--replace-tabs=8" on the
highlight command line.

valgrind: ignore SSE-based strlen invalid reads
Some versions of strlen use SSE to speed up the calculation and load 4
bytes at a time, even if it means reading past the end of the
allocated memory. This read is safe and when the strlen function is
inlined, it is not replaced by valgrind, which reports a
false-possitive.
Tell valgrind to ignore this particular error, as the read is, in
fact, safe. Current upstream-released version 3.6.1 is affected. Some
distributions have this fixed in their latest versions.

to list changes in a submodule. That is, it:
* finds merge bases between the commits pointed to this
path from before ("left") and after ("right") the change;
* checks whether this is a fast-forward or fast-backward;
* prepares a revision walk to list commits in the symmetric
difference between the commits at each endpoint.
It returns nonzero on error.
- print_submodule_summary runs the revision walk and saves
the result to a strbuf in --left-right format.

some commands), and incorrectly implied that the default applies to
all the diff generating commands.
Most importantly, "log" does not default to "--cc" (it defaults to
"--no-merges") and "log -p" obeys the user's wish to see non-combined
format. Only "diff" (during merge and three-blob comparison) and
"show" use --cc as the default.

git-compat-util.h: Honor HP C's noreturn attribute
HP C for Integrity servers (Itanium) gained support for noreturn
attribute sometime in 2006. It was released in Compiler Version
A.06.10 and made available in July 2006.
The __HP_cc define detects the HP C compiler version. Precede the
__GNUC__ check so it works well when compiling with HP C using -Agcc
option that enables partial support for the GNU C dialect. The -Agcc
defines the __GNUC__ too.

Limit file descriptors used by packs
Rather than using 'errno == EMFILE' after a failed open() call
to indicate the process is out of file descriptors and an LRU
pack window should be closed, place a hard upper limit on the
number of open packs based on the actual rlimit of the process.
By using a hard upper limit that is below the rlimit of the current
process it is not necessary to check for EMFILE on every single
fd-allocating system call. Instead reserving 25 file descriptors
makes it safe to assume the system call won't fail due to being over
the filedescriptor limit. Here 25 is chosen as a WAG, but considers
3 for stdin/stdout/stderr, and at least a few for other Git code
to operate on temporary files. An additional 20 is reserved as it
is not known what the C library needs to perform other services on
Git's behalf, such as nsswitch or name resolution.
This fixes a case where running `git gc --auto` in a repository
with more than 1024 packs (but an rlimit of 1024 open fds) fails
due to the temporary output file not being able to allocate a
file descriptor. The output file is opened by pack-objects after
object enumeration and delta compression are done, both of which
have already opened all of the packs and fully populated the file
descriptor table.

commit: error out for missing commit message template
When "git commit" was rewritten in C (v1.5.4-rc0~78^2~30,
2007-11-08), a subtle bug in --template was introduced. If the
file named by a --template parameter is missing, previously git
would error out with a message:
Commit template file does not exist.
but in the C version the --template parameter gets ignored and
the default template is used.

diff: handle diffstat of rewritten binary files
The logic in builtin_diffstat assumes that a
complete_rewrite pair should have its lines counted. This is
nonsensical for binary files and leads to confusing things
like:
$ git diff --stat --summary HEAD^ HEAD
foo.rand | Bin 4096 -> 4096 bytes
1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
$ git diff --stat --summary -B HEAD^ HEAD
foo.rand | 34 +++++++++++++++-------------------
1 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-)
rewrite foo.rand (100%)
So let's reorder the function to handle binary files first
(which from diffstat's perspective look like complete
rewrites anyway), then rewrites, then actual diffstats.
There are two bonus prizes to this reorder:
1. It gets rid of a now-superfluous goto.
2. The binary case is at the top, which means we can
further optimize it in the next patch.

It blocks after 7000 iterations or so in sysread(). The relevant
sysread() call is the second call by the parent, which presumably
executes before the child dies but after the parent has read all

submodule: no [--merge|--rebase] when newly cloned
"git submodule update" can be run with either the "--merge" or "--rebase"
option, or submodule.<name>.update configuration variable can be set to
"merge" or "rebase, to cause local work to get integrated when updating
the submodule.
When a submodule is newly cloned, however, it does not have a check out
when a rebase or merge is attempted, leading to a failure. For newly
cloned submodules, simply check out the appropriate revision. There is no
local work to integrate with for them.

push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'
Users are sometimes confused with two different types of "tracking" behavior
in Git: "remote-tracking" branches (e.g. refs/remotes/*/*) versus the
merge/rebase relationship between a local branch and its @{upstream}
(controlled by branch.foo.remote and branch.foo.merge config settings).
When the push.default is set to 'tracking', it specifies that a branch should
be pushed to its @{upstream} branch. In other words, setting push.default to
'tracking' applies only to the latter of the above two types of "tracking"
behavior.
In order to make this more understandable to the user, we rename the
push.default == 'tracking' option to push.default == 'upstream'.
push.default == 'tracking' is left as a deprecated synonym for 'upstream'.

perl: command_bidi_pipe() method should set-up git environmens
When command_input_pipe and command_output_pipe are used as a
method of a Git::repository instance, they eventually call into
_cmd_exec method that sets up the execution environment such as
GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables and the current
working directory in the child process that interacts with the
repository.
command_bidi_pipe however didn't expect to be called as such, and
lacked all these set-up. Because of this, a program that did this
did not work as expected:
my $repo = Git->repository(Directory => '/some/where/else');
my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) =
$repo->command_bidi_pipe(qw(hash-object -w --stdin-paths));
This patch refactors the _cmd_exec into _setup_git_cmd_env that
sets up the execution environment, and makes _cmd_exec and
command_bidi_pipe to use it.
Note that unlike _cmd_exec that execv's a git command as an
external process, command_bidi_pipe is called from the main line
of control, and the execution environment needs to be restored
after open2() does its magic.

configure: use AC_LANG_PROGRAM consistently
Avoid warnings from Autoconf 2.68 about missing use of AC_LANG_PROGRAM
and friends.
Quoting autoconf-2.68/NEWS:
** The macros AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, AC_LINK_IFELSE, and
AC_RUN_IFELSE now warn if the first argument failed to use
AC_LANG_SOURCE or AC_LANG_PROGRAM to generate the conftest file
contents. A new macro AC_LANG_DEFINES_PROVIDED exists if you have
a compelling reason why you cannot use AC_LANG_SOURCE but must
avoid the warning.
The underlying reason for that change is that AC_LANG_{SOURCE,PROGRAM}
take care to supply the previously computed set of #defines (and
include standard headers if so desired) for preprocessed languages
like C and C++.
In some cases, AC_LANG_PROGRAM is already used but not sufficiently
m4-quoted, so we just need to add another set of [quotes] to prevent
the autoconf warning from being triggered bogusly. Quoting all
arguments (except when calling special macros that need to be expanded
before recursion) is better style, anyway. These and more rules are
described in detail in 'info Autoconf "Programming in M4"'.
No change in the resulting config.mak.autogen after running
./configure intended.

since the string_list_insert* functions _do_ explicitly zero

The idiom (a + b < a) works fine for detecting that an unsigned
integer has overflowed, but a more explicit
unsigned_add_overflows(a, b)
might be easier to read.
Define such a macro, expanding roughly to ((a) < UINT_MAX - (b)).
Because the expansion uses each argument only once outside of sizeof()
expressions, it is safe to use with arguments that have side effects.

fast-import: introduce "feature notes" command
Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.
When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,
2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8,
2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature.
But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.
Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes"
command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream
will be treated as a no-op. On fast-import implementations without
the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out
with a message like
This version of fast-import does not support feature notes.
So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not
support notes. (This would be especially important for backends that
do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)
