Fix _XOPEN_SOURCE problem on DragonFly
As on FreeBSD, defining _XOPEN_SOURCE to 600 on DragonFly BSD 2.4-RELEASE
or later hides symbols from programs, which leads to implicit declaration
of functions, making the return value to be assumed an int. On architectures
where sizeof(int) < sizeof(void *), this can cause unexpected behaviors or
crashes.
This change won't affect other OSes unless they define __DragonFly__ macro,
or older versions of DragonFly BSD as the current git code doesn't rely on
the features only available with _XOPEN_SOURCE set to 600 on DragonFly.

Makefile: update defaults for modern Cygwin
Now that Cygwin 1.7.x has enabled lots of new features, and Cygwin 1.5
is no longer actively supported by the Cygwin mailing lists, we might
as well update the defaults to cater to those new features.
NO_TRUSTABLE_FILEMODE is only necessary on FAT drives; the Cygwin
community recommends NTFS drives, but there is still too much use
for FAT to switch the default. Likewise, UNRELIABLE_FSTAT is probably
file-system specific, but worth keeping unchanged.
This commit does not change the default for NO_MMAP, although definitive
proof of whether this option is necessary is lacking.

Don't redefine htonl and ntohl on big-endian
Since commit 0fcabdeb52b79775173d009ccc179db104dfbb66, compat/bswap.h
redefined htonl and ntohl to bswap32 not only if bswap32 has been
defined earlier in compat/bswap.h (which is done only on selected
platforms), but also if bswap32 has been defined anywhere else. This
broke Git at least for NetBSD systems running on big-endian machines
(where ntohl and htonl should, of course, be NOOPs), since NetBSD
defines a bswap32 macro in the system headers.
So, we now undefine any previously defined bswap32 in compat/bswap.h
before defining our own.

rebase -i: make post-rewrite work for 'edit'
The post-rewrite support, in the form of the call to
'record_in_rewritten', was hidden in the arm where we have to record a
new commit for the user. This meant that it was never invoked in the
case where the user has already amended the commit by herself.
[The test is designed to exercise both arms of the 'if' in question.]
Furthermore, recording the stopped-sha (the SHA1 of the commit before
the editing) suffered from a cut&paste error from die_with_patch and
used the wrong variable, hence it never recorded anything.
Noticed by Junio.

Furthermore, recording the stopped-sha (the SHA1 of the commit before
the editing) suffered from a cut&paste error from die_with_patch and
used the wrong variable, hence it never recorded anything.

send-email: lazily assign editor variable
b4479f0 (add -i, send-email, svn, p4, etc: use "git var GIT_EDITOR",
2009-10-30) introduced the use of "git var GIT_EDITOR" to obtain the
preferred editor program, instead of reading environment variables
themselves.
However, "git var GIT_EDITOR" run without a tty (think "cron job") would
give a fatal error "Terminal is dumb, but EDITOR unset". This is not a
problem for add-i, svn, p4 and callers of git_editor() defined in
git-sh-setup, as all of these call it just before launching the editor.
At that point, we know the caller wants to edit.
But send-email ran this near the beginning of the program, even if it is
not going to use any editor (e.g. run without --compose). Fix this by
calling the command only when we edit a file.

For git-rebase.sh, --no-ff is a synonym for --force-rebase.
For git-rebase--interactive.sh, --no-ff cherry-picks all the commits in

--no-ff offers an alternative way to deal with reverted merges. Instead of
"reverting the revert" you can use "rebase --no-ff" to recreate the branch
with entirely new commits (they're new because at the very least the

http-backend: Don't infinite loop during die()
If stdout has already been closed by the CGI and die() gets called,
the CGI will fail to write the "Status: 500 Internal Server Error" to
the pipe, which results in die() being called again (via safe_write).
This goes on in an infinite loop until the stack overflows and the
process is killed by SIGSEGV.
Instead set a flag on the first die() invocation and if we came back to
the handler, just die silently, as it only means we failed to report the
failure---we cannot report anything anyway in such a case. This way
failures to write the error messages to the stdout pipe do not result in
an infinite loop.
We also now report on the death to stderr before we report to stdout,
to increase the chances that the cause of the die() invocation will
appear in the server's error log.

merge-recursive: add a label for ancestor
git merge-recursive (and hence git merge) will present conflict hunks
in output something like what ‘diff3 -m’ produces if the

There is a small difference from diff3: diff3 -m includes a label
for the merge base on the ||||||| line.
Tools familiar with the format and humans unfamiliar with the format
both can benefit from such a label. So mark the start of the text
from the merge bases with the heading "||||||| merged common
ancestors".
It would be nicer to use a more informative label. Perhaps someone
will provide one some day.
git rerere does not have trouble parsing the new output, and its

revert: clarify label on conflict hunks
When reverting a commit, the commit being merged is not the commit
to revert itself but its parent. Add “parent of” to the conflict
hunk label to make this more clear.
The conflict hunk labels are all pieces of a single string written in
the new get_message() function. Avoid some complication by using
mempcpy to advance a pointer as the result is written.
Also free the corresponding temporary buffer (it was leaked before).
This is not important because it is a small one-time allocation. It
would become a memory leak if unnoticed when libifying revert.
This patch uses calls to strlen() instead of integer constants in some
places. GCC will compute the length at compile time; I am not sure
about other compilers, but this is not performance-critical anyway.

The mempcpy() function was added in glibc 2.1. It is quite handy, so
add an implementation for cross-platform use.

checkout -m --conflict=diff3: add a label for ancestor
git checkout --merge --conflict=diff3 can be used to present conflict
hunks including text from the common ancestor. The added information
is helpful for resolving a merge by hand, and merge tools tend to
understand it because it is very similar to what ‘diff3 -m’ produces.
Unlike current git, diff3 -m includes a label for the merge base on
the ||||||| line, and unfortunately, some tools cannot parse the
conflict hunks without it. Humans can benefit from a cue when
learning to interpreting the format, too. Mark the start of the text
from the old branch with a label based on the branch’s name.
git rerere does not have trouble parsing this output and its preimage
ids are unchanged since it includes its own code for recreating
conflict hunks. No other code in git tries to parse conflict hunks.

merge_trees(): add ancestor label parameter for diff3-style output
Commands using the merge_trees() machinery will present conflict hunks
in output something like what ‘diff3 -m’ produces if the
merge.conflictstyle configuration option is set to diff3. The output
lacks the name of the merge base on the ||||||| line of the output,
and tools can misparse the conflict hunks without it. Add a new
o->ancestor parameter to merge_trees() for use as a label for the
ancestor in conflict hunks.
If o->ancestor is NULL, the output format is as before. All callers
pass NULL for now.
If o->ancestor is non-NULL and both branches renamed the base file
to the same name, that name is included in the conflict hunk labels.
Even if o->ancestor is NULL I think this would be a good change, but
this patch only does it in the non-NULL case to ensure the output
format does not change where it might matter.

hunks, rerere looks for whitespace after the ||||||| marker rather
than a newline, and to compute preimage ids, rerere has its own code
for creating conflict hunks. No other code in git tries to parse

xdl_merge(): move file1 and file2 labels to xmparam structure
The labels for the three participants in a potential conflict are all
optional arguments for the xdiff merge routine; if they are NULL, then
xdl_merge() can cope by omitting the labels from its output. Move
them to the xmparam structure to allow new callers to save some
keystrokes where they are not needed.
This also has the virtue of making the xdiff merge interface more
similar to merge_trees, which might make it easier to learn.

revert: fix tiny memory leak in cherry-pick --ff

More importantly, once cherry-pick learns to pick multiple commits,
the amount of memory leaked would start to add up.
