tests: make test_expect_code quieter on success

A command exiting with the expected status is not particularly
notable.

While the indication of progress might be useful when tracking down
where in a test a failure has happened, the same applies to most other
test helpers, which are quiet about success, so this single helper's
output stands out in an unpleasant way.  An alternative method for
showing progress information might to invent a --progress option that
runs tests with "set -x", or until that is available, to run tests
using commands like

prove -v -j2 --shuffle --exec='sh -x' t2202-add-addremove.sh

userdiff/perl: anchor "sub" and "package" patterns on the left

The userdiff funcname mechanism has no concept of nested scopes ---
instead, "git diff" and "git grep --show-function" simply label the
diff header with the most recent matching line.  Unfortunately that
means text following a subroutine in a POD section:

=head1 DESCRIPTION

You might use this facility like so:

sub example {
foo;
}

Now, having said that, let's say more about the facility.
Blah blah blah ... etc etc.

gets the subroutine name instead of the POD header in its diff/grep
funcname header, making it harder to get oriented when reading a
diff without enough context.

The fix is simple: anchor the funcname syntax to the left margin so
nested subroutines and packages like this won't get picked up.  (The
builtin C++ funcname pattern already does the same thing.)  This means
the userdiff driver will misparse the idiom

{
my $static;
sub foo {
... use $static ...
}
}

but I think that's worth it; we can revisit this later if the userdiff
mechanism learns to keep track of the beginning and end of nested
scopes.

t4018 (funcname patterns): minor cleanups

Introduce a test_expect_funcname function to make a diff and apply a
regexp anchored on the left to the function name it writes, avoiding
some repetition.

Omit the space after >, <<, and < operators for consistency with
other scripts.  Quote the <<here document delimiter and $ signs in
quotes so readers don't have to worry about the effect of shell
metacharacters.

Remove some unnecessary blank lines.

Run "git diff" as a separate command instead of as upstream of a pipe
that checks its output, so the exit status can be tested.  In
particular, this way if "git diff" starts segfaulting the test harness
will notice.

Allow "error:" as a synonym for "fatal:" when checking error messages,
since whether a command uses die() or "return error()" is a small
implementation detail.

Anchor some more regexes on the right.

None of the above is very important on its own; the point is just to
make the script a little easier to read and the code less scary to
modify.

t4018 (funcname patterns): make configuration easier to track

Introduce a "test_config" function to set a configuration variable
for use by a single test (automatically unsetting it when the
assertion finishes).  If this function is used consistently, the
configuration used in a test_expect_success block can be read at the
beginning of that block instead of requiring reading all the tests
that come before.  So it becomes a little easier to add new tests or
rearrange existing ones without fear of breaking configuration.

In particular, the test of alternation in xfuncname patterns also
checks that xfuncname takes precedence over funcname variable as a
sort of side-effect, since the latter leaks in from previous tests.
In the new syntax, the test has to say explicitly what variables it is
using, making the test clearer and a future regression in coverage
from carelessly editing the script less likely.

t4018 (funcname patterns): make .gitattributes state easier to track

Most, but not all, tests in this script rely on attributes declaring
that files with a .java extension should use the "java" driver:

*.java diff=java

Split out a "set up" test to put such a .gitattributes in place after
the tests that do not want it have run, to make it more likely that
individual tests other than this setup test can be safely modified,
rearranged, or skipped.  Presumably this setup code will learn to
request other drivers for other extensions in the same place when the
test suite learns to exercise other diff drivers.

Similarly, make sure that early test assertions that do not use these
default attributes set up .gitattributes appropriately for themselves,
so tests that run before can be modified with less risk of breaking

to mean that the word is expanded as if it appeared in dq pairs, so if the
word were "'$variable'" (sans dq) it would expand to a single quote, the
value of the $variable and then a single quote.

Johannes Sixt reports that the behavior of quoting at the right of :- when
the ${...:-...} expansion appears in double-quotes was debated recently at

merge-one-file: fix broken merges with alternate work trees

The merge-one-file tool predates the invention of
GIT_WORK_TREE. By the time GIT_WORK_TREE was invented, most
people were using the merge-recursive strategy, which
handles resolving internally. Therefore these features have
had very little testing together.

For the most part, merge-one-file just works with
GIT_WORK_TREE; most of its heavy lifting is done by plumbing
commands which do respect GIT_WORK_TREE properly. The one
exception is a shell redirection which touches the worktree
directly, writing results to the wrong place in the presence
of a GIT_WORK_TREE variable.

This means that merges won't even fail; they will silently
produce incorrect results, throwing out the entire "theirs"
side of files which need content-level merging!

This patch makes merge-one-file chdir to the toplevel of the
working tree (and exit if we don't have one). This most
closely matches the assumption made by the original script
(before separate work trees were invented), and matches what
happens when the script is called as part of a merge
strategy.

While we're at it, we'll also error-check the call to cat.
Merging a file in a subdirectory could in fact fail, as the
redirection relies on the "checkout-index" call just prior
to create leading directories. But we never noticed, since
we ignored the error return from running cat.

For example, together with read-tree, they are the simplest

will fail to preserve the merge, because during 'git rebase', 'git
merge' will simply fast-forward and skip the commit.  For example:

               B
              / \
             A---M
            /
    ---o---O---P---Q

If we try to rebase M onto P, we lose the merge commit and this happens:

                 A---B
                /
    ---o---O---P---Q

To correct this, we simply do a "no fast-forward" on all merge commits
when rebasing.  Since by the time we decided to do a 'git merge' inside
'git rebase', it means there was a merge originally, so 'git merge'
should always create a merge commit regardless of what the merge
branches look like. This way, when rebase M onto P from the above
example, we get:

                   B
                  / \
                 A---M
                /
    ---o---O---P---Q

pretty: quote rfc822 specials in email addresses

If somebody has a name that includes an rfc822 special, we
will output it literally in the "From:" header. This is
usually OK, but certain characters (like ".") are supposed
to be enclosed in double-quotes in a mail header.

In practice, whether this matters may depend on your MUA.
Some MUAs will happily take in:

   From: Foo B. Bar <author@example.com>

without quotes, and properly quote the "." when they send
the actual mail.  Others may not, or may screw up harder
things like:

  From: Foo "The Baz" Bar <author@example.com>

For example, mutt will strip the quotes, thinking they are
actual syntactic rfc822 quotes.

So let's quote properly, and then (if necessary) we still
apply rfc2047 encoding on top of that, which should make all
MUAs happy.

Junio C Hamano [Thu, 21 Apr 2011 01:11:19 +0000 (18:11 -0700)]
Fix "add -u" that sometimes fails to resolve unmerged paths

"git add -u" updates the index with the updated contents from the working
tree by internally running "diff-files" to grab the set of paths that are
different from the index. Then it updates the index entries for the paths
that are modified in the working tree, and deletes the index entries for
the paths that are deleted in the working tree.

It ignored the output from the diff-files that indicated that a path is
unmerged.  For these paths, it instead relied on the fact that an unmerged
path is followed by the result of comparison between stage #2 (ours) and
the working tree, and used that to update or delete such a path when it is
used to record the resolution of a conflict.

As the result, when a path did not have stage #2 (e.g. "we deleted while
the other side added"), these unmerged stages were left behind, instead of
recording what the user resolved in the working tree.

Since we recently fixed "diff-files" to indicate if the corresponding path
exists on the working tree for an unmerged path, we do not have to rely on
the comparison with stage #2 anymore. We can instead tell the diff-files
not to compare with higher stages, and use the unmerged output to update
the index to reflect the state of the working tree.

The changes to the test vector in t2200 illustrates the nature of the bug
and the fix.  The test expected stage #1 and #3 entries be left behind,
but it was codifying the buggy behaviour.

date: avoid "X years, 12 months" in relative dates

When relative dates are more than about a year ago, we start
writing them as "Y years, M months".  At the point where we
calculate Y and M, we have the time delta specified as a
number of days. We calculate these integers as:

  Y = days / 365
  M = (days % 365 + 15) / 30

This rounds days in the latter half of a month up to the
nearest month, so that day 16 is "1 month" (or day 381 is "1
year, 1 month").

We don't round the year at all, though, meaning we can end
up with "1 year, 12 months", which is silly; it should just
be "2 years".

Implement this differently with months of size

  onemonth = 365/12

so that

  totalmonths = (long)( (days + onemonth/2)/onemonth )
  years = totalmonths / 12
  months = totalmonths % 12

In order to do this without floats, we write the first formula as

  totalmonths = (days*12*2 + 365) / (365*2)
