drop odd return value semantics from userdiff_config
When the userdiff_config function was introduced in be58e70
(diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code,
2008-10-05), it used a return value convention unlike any
other config callback. Like other callbacks, it used "-1" to
signal error. But it returned "1" to indicate that it found
something, and "0" otherwise; other callbacks simply
returned "0" to indicate that no error occurred.
This distinction was necessary at the time, because the
userdiff namespace overlapped slightly with the color
configuration namespace. So "diff.color.foo" could mean "the
'foo' slot of diff coloring" or "the 'foo' component of the
"color" userdiff driver". Because the color-parsing code
would die on an unknown color slot, we needed the userdiff
code to indicate that it had matched the variable, letting
us bypass the color-parsing code entirely.
Later, in 8b8e862 (ignore unknown color configuration,
2009-12-12), the color-parsing code learned to silently
ignore unknown slots. This means we no longer need to
protect userdiff-matched variables from reaching the
color-parsing code.
We can therefore change the userdiff_config calling
convention to a more normal one. This drops some code from
each caller, which is nice. But more importantly, it reduces
the cognitive load for readers who may wonder why
userdiff_config is unlike every other config callback.
There's no need to add a new test confirming that this
works; t4020 already contains a test that sets
diff.color.external.

The imap-send code was adapted from another project, and
still contains many unused bits of code. One of these bits
contains a type "struct string_list" which bears no
resemblence to the "struct string_list" we use elsewhere in
git. This causes the compiler to complain if git's
string_list ever becomes part of cache.h.

Before f824628 (merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions,

asked for it with --edit. Thus it seemed unlikely that the user would
need extra guidance.
After f824628 the _normal_ thing is to start an editor. Give at least
an indication of why we are doing it.
The sentence about justification is one of the few things about
standard git that are not agnostic to the workflow that the user
chose. However, f824628 was proposed by Linus specifically to
discourage users from merging unrelated upstream progress into topic
branches. So we may as well take another step in the same direction.

git-completion: workaround zsh COMPREPLY bug
zsh adds a backslash (foo\ ) for each item in the COMPREPLY array if IFS
doesn't contain spaces. This issue has been reported[1], but there is no
solution yet.
This wasn't a problem due to another bug[2], which was fixed in zsh
version 4.3.12. After this change, 'git checkout ma<tab>' would resolve
to 'git checkout master\ '.
Aditionally, the introduction of __gitcomp_nl in commit a31e626
(completion: optimize refs completion) in git also made the problem
apparent, as Matthieu Moy reported.
The simplest and most generic solution is to hide all the changes we do
to IFS, so that "foo \nbar " is recognized by zsh as "foo bar". This
works on versions of git before and after the introduction of
__gitcomp_nl (a31e626), and versions of zsh before and after 4.3.12.
Once zsh is fixed, we should conditionally disable this workaround to
have the same benefits as bash users.

t9801: do not overuse test_must_fail
test_must_fail is to make sure a program we can potentially break during
the course of updating git itself exits with a non-zero status in a clean
and controlled way.
When we expect a non-zero exit status from the commands we use from the
underlying platform in tests, e.g. making sure a string "error: " does not
appear in the output by running "grep 'error: '", just use "! grep" for
readability. It is not like we will try to update Git and suddenly 'grep'
we use from the system starts segfaulting.

To find out which is its parent the commit of the new branch is compared
sequentially to each blob of the parent branch from the newest to the
oldest. The first blob which results in a zero diff is considered the
parent commit. If none is found, then the commit is applied to the top
of the parent branch.
A fast-import "checkpoint" call is required because diff-tree is only
able to work with blobs on disk. But most of these commits will not be
part of the final imported tree, making fast-import fail. To avoid this,
the temporary branches are tracked and then removed at the end of the

submodule add: fix breakage when re-adding a deep submodule
Since recently a submodule with name <name> has its git directory in the
.git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject while the work tree
contains a gitfile pointing there.
When the same submodule is added on a branch where it wasn't present so
far (it is not found in the .gitmodules file), the name is not initialized
from the path as it should. This leads to a wrong path entered in the
gitfile when the .git/modules/<name> directory is found, as this happily
uses the - now empty - name. It then always points only a single directory
up, even if we have a path deeper in the directory hierarchy.
Fix that by initializing the name of the submodule early in module_clone()
if module_name() returned an empty name and add a test to catch that bug.

Since recently a submodule with name <name> has its git directory in the
.git/modules/<name> directory of the superproject while the work tree
contains a gitfile pointing there.
When the same submodule is added on a branch where it wasn't present so
far (it is not found in the .gitmodules file), the name is not initialized
from the path as it should. This leads to a wrong path entered in the
gitfile when the .git/modules/<name> directory is found, as this happily

clone: fix up delay cloning conditions
6f48d39 (clone: delay cloning until after remote HEAD checking -
2012-01-16) allows us to perform some checks on remote refs before the
actual cloning happens. But not all transport types support
this. Remote helper with "import" capability will not return complete
ref information until fetch is performed and therefore the clone cannot
be delayed.
foreign_vcs field in struct remote was used to detect this kind of transport
and save the result. This is a mistake because foreign_vcs is designed
to override url-based transport detection. As a result, if the same
"struct transport *" object is used on many different urls and one of
them attached remote transport, the following urls will be mistakenly
attached to the same transport. This fault is worked around by dad0b3d
(push: do not let configured foreign-vcs permanently clobbered -
2012-01-23)
To fix this, detect incomplete refs from transport_get_remote_refs()
by SHA-1. Incomplete ones must have null SHA-1 (*). Then revert
changes related to foreign_cvs field in 6f48d39 and dad0b3d.
A good thing from this change is that cloning smart http transport can
also be delayed. Earlier it falls into the same category "remote
transport, no delay".
(*) Theoretically if one of the remote refs happens to have null SHA-1,
it will trigger false alarm and the clone will not be delayed. But
that chance may be too small for us to pay attention to.

push: do not let configured foreign-vcs permanently clobbered
Recently, 6f48d39 (clone: delay cloning until after remote HEAD checking,
2012-01-16) tried to record if a remote helper needs to be called after
parsing the remote when transport_get() is called, by overwriting the
field meant to store the configured remote helper name in the remote
structure.
This is OK when a remote represents a single remote repository, but fails
miserably when pushing to locations with multiple URLs, like this:
$ cat .git/config
[remote "origin"]
url = https://code.google.com/p/git-htmldocs/
url = github.com:gitster/git-htmldocs.git
push = refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master
$ git push
The second url that is supposed to use the git-over-ssh transport
mistakenly use https:// and fails with:
error: Couldn't resolve host 'github.com:gitster' while accessing
github.com:gitster/git-htmldocs.git/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed
The right solution would probably be to dedicate a separate field to store
the detected external helper to be used, which is valid only during a
single use of transport until it is disconnected, instead of overwriting
foreign_vcs field, but in the meantime, this band-aid should suffice.

merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions
Traditionally, a cleanly resolved merge was committed by "git merge" using
the auto-generated merge commit log message without invoking the editor.
After 5 years of use in the field, it turns out that people perform too
many unjustified merges of the upstream history into their topic branches.
These merges are not just useless, but they are often not explained well,
and making the end result unreadable when it gets time for merging their
history back to their upstream.
Earlier we added the "--edit" option to the command, so that people can
edit the log message to explain and justify their merge commits. Let's
take it one step further and spawn the editor by default when we are in an
interactive session (i.e. the standard input and the standard output are
pointing at the same tty device).
There may be existing scripts that leave the standard input and the
standard output of the "git merge" connected to whatever environment the
scripts were started, and such invocation might trigger the above
"interactive session" heuristics. GIT_MERGE_AUTOEDIT environment variable
can be set to "no" at the beginning of such scripts to use the historical
behaviour while the script runs.
Note that this backward compatibility is meant only for scripts, and we
deliberately do *not* support "merge.edit = yes/no/auto" configuration
option to allow people to keep the historical behaviour.

This is wrong when the user also specified -l/-L/-c, in which case

t/Makefile: Use $(sort ...) explicitly where needed
Starting from GNU Make 3.82 $(wildcard ...) no longer sorts the result
(from NEWS):
* WARNING: Backward-incompatibility!
Wildcards were not documented as returning sorted values, but the results
have been sorted up until this release.. If your makefiles require sorted
results from wildcard expansions, use the $(sort ...) function to request
it explicitly.
http://repo.or.cz/w/make.git/commitdiff/2a59dc32aaf0681dec569f32a9d7ab88a379d34f
I usually watch test progress visually, and if tests are sorted, even
with make -j4 they go more or less incrementally by their t number. On
the other side, without sorting, tests are executed in seemingly random
order even for -j1. Let's please maintain sane tests order for perceived
prettyness.
Another note is that in GNU Make sort also works as uniq, so after sort
being removed, we might expect e.g. $(wildcard *.sh a.*) to produce
duplicates for e.g. "a.sh". From this point of view, adding sort could
be seen as hardening t/Makefile from accidentally introduced dups.
It turned out that prevous releases of GNU Make did not perform full
sort in $(wildcard), only sorting results for each pattern, that's why
explicit sort-as-uniq is relevant even for older makes.

remote-curl: Fix push status report when all branches fail
The protocol between transport-helper.c and remote-curl requires
remote-curl to always print a blank line after the push command
has run. If the blank line is ommitted, transport-helper kills its
container process (the git push the user started) with exit(128)
and no message indicating a problem, assuming the helper already
printed reasonable error text to the console.
However if the remote rejects all branches with "ng" commands in the
report-status reply, send-pack terminates with non-zero status, and
in turn remote-curl exited with non-zero status before outputting
the blank line after the helper status printed by send-pack. No
error messages reach the user.
This caused users to see the following from git push over HTTP
when the remote side's update hook rejected the branch:
$ git push http://... master
Counting objects: 4, done.
Delta compression using up to 6 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 301 bytes, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
$
Always print a blank line after the send-pack process terminates,
ensuring the helper status report (if it was output) will be
correctly parsed by the calling transport-helper.c. This ensures
the helper doesn't abort before the status report can be shown to
the user.

Making pathspec limited log play nicer with --first-parent
In a topic branch workflow, you often want to find the latest commit that
merged a side branch that touched a particular area of the system, so that
a new topic branch to work on that area can be forked from that commit.
For example, I wanted to find an appropriate fork-point to queue Luke's
changes related to git-p4 in contrib/fast-import/.
"git log --first-parent" traverses the first-parent chain, and "-m --stat"
shows the list of paths touched by commits including merge commits. We
could ask the question this way:
# What is the latest commit that touched that path?
$ git log --first-parent --oneline -m --stat master |
sed -e '/^ contrib\/fast-import\/git-p4 /q' | tail
The above finds that 8cbfc11 (Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates',
2012-01-06) was such a commit.
But a more natural way to spell this question is this:
$ git log --first-parent --oneline -m --stat -1 master -- \
contrib/fast-import/git-p4
Unfortunately, this does not work. It finds ecb7cf9 (git-p4: rewrite view
handling, 2012-01-02). This commit is a part of the merged topic branch
and is _not_ on the first-parent path from the 'master':
$ git show-branch 8cbfc11 ecb7cf9
! [8cbfc11] Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates'
! [ecb7cf9] git-p4: rewrite view handling
--
- [8cbfc11] Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates'
+ [8cbfc11^2] git-p4: view spec documentation
++ [ecb7cf9] git-p4: rewrite view handling
The problem is caused by the merge simplification logic when it inspects
the merge commit 8cbfc11. In this case, the history leading to the tip of
'master' did not touch git-p4 since 'pw/p4-view-updates' topic forked, and
the result of the merge is simply a copy from the tip of the topic branch
in the view limited by the given pathspec. The merge simplification logic
discards the history on the mainline side of the merge, and pretends as if
the sole parent of the merge is its second parent, i.e. the tip of the
topic. While this simplification is correct in the general case, it is at
least surprising if not outright wrong when the user explicitly asked to
show the first-parent history.
Here is an attempt to fix this issue, by not allowing us to compare the
merge result with anything but the first parent when --first-parent is in
effect, to avoid the history traversal veering off to the side branch.

diff-index: enable recursive pathspec matching in unpack_trees
The pathspec structure has a few bits of data to drive various operation
modes after we unified the pathspec matching logic in various codepaths.
For example, max_depth field is there so that "git grep" can limit the
output for files found in limited depth of tree traversal. Also in order
to show just the surface level differences in "git diff-tree", recursive
field stops us from descending into deeper level of the tree structure
when it is set to false, and this also affects pathspec matching when
we have wildcards in the pathspec.
The diff-index has always wanted the recursive behaviour, and wanted to
match pathspecs without any depth limit. But we forgot to do so when we
updated tree_entry_interesting() logic to unify the pathspec matching
logic.

test-lib: add the test_pause convenience function
Since 781f76b15 (test-lib: redirect stdin of tests) you can't simply put a
"bash &&" into a test for debugging purposes anymore. Instead you'll have
to use "bash <&6 >&3 2>&4".
As that invocation is not that easy to remember add the test_pause
convenience function. It invokes "$SHELL_PATH" to provide a sane shell
for the user.
This function also checks if the -v flag is given and will error out if
that is not the case instead of letting the test hang until ^D is pressed.

write_remote_refs(): create packed (rather than extra) refs
write_remote_refs() creates new packed refs from references obtained
from the remote repository, which is "out of thin air" as far as the
local repository is concerned. Previously it did this by creating
"extra" refs, then calling pack_refs() to bake them into the
packed-refs file. Instead, create packed refs (in the packed
reference cache) directly, then call pack_refs().
Aside from being more logical, this is another step towards removing
extra refs entirely.

ref_array: keep track of whether references are sorted
Keep track of how many entries at the beginning of a ref_array are already
sorted. In sort_ref_array(), return early if the the array is already
sorted (i.e., if no new references has been appended to the end of the
list since the last call to sort_ref_array()).
Sort ref_arrays only when needed, namely in search_ref_array() and in
do_for_each_ref(). However, never call sort_ref_array() on the
extra_refs, because extra_refs can contain multiple entries with the same
name and because sort_ref_array() not only sorts, but de-dups its
contents.
This change is currently not useful, because entries are not added to
ref_arrays after they are created. But in a moment they will be...
Implementation note: we could store a binary "sorted" value instead of
an integer, but storing the number of sorted entries leaves the way
open for a couple of possible future optimizations:
* In sort_ref_array(), sort *only* the unsorted entries, then merge
them with the sorted entries. This should be faster if most of the
entries are already sorted.
* Teach search_ref_array() to do a binary search of any sorted
entries, and if unsuccessful do a linear search of any unsorted
entries. This would avoid the need to sort the list every time that
search_ref_array() is called, and (given some intelligence about how
often to sort) could significantly improve the speed in certain
hypothetical usage patterns.

credential-cache: ignore "connection refused" errors
The credential-cache helper will try to connect to its
daemon over a unix socket. Originally, a failure to do so
was silently ignored, and we would either give up (if
performing a "get" or "erase" operation), or spawn a new
daemon (for a "store" operation).
But since 8ec6c8d, we try to report more errors. We detect a
missing daemon by checking for ENOENT on our connection
attempt. If the daemon is missing, we continue as before
(giving up or spawning a new daemon). For any other error,
we die and report the problem.
However, checking for ENOENT is not sufficient for a missing
daemon. We might also get ECONNREFUSED if a dead daemon
process left a stale socket. This generally shouldn't
happen, as the daemon cleans up after itself, but the daemon
may not always be given a chance to do so (e.g., power loss,
"kill -9").
The resulting state is annoying not just because the helper
outputs an extra useless message, but because it actually
blocks the helper from spawning a new daemon to replace the
stale socket.
Fix it by checking for ECONNREFUSED.
