Don't attempt to merge non-existant remotes in t5515
This was actually reverted in 756373da by Junio. We no longer
support merging the right hand side of a fetchspec in a branch's
branch.$name.merge configuration setting as we interpret these
names as being only those published by the remote we are going to
fetch from.
The older shell based implementation of git-fetch did not report an
error when branch.$name.merge was referencing a branch that does
not exist on the remote and we are running `git fetch` for the
current branch. The new builtin-fetch does notice this failure
and aborts the fetch, thus breaking the tests.
Junio and I kicked it around on #git earlier today and decided that
the best approach here is to error out and tell the user that their
configuration is wrong, as this is likely more user friendly than
silently ignoring the user's request. Since the new builtin-fetch
is already issuing the error there is no code change required, we
just need to remove the bad configuration from our test.

If we are fetching something and were configured to do a forced
fetch and have no local ref to store the fetched object into we
cannot mark the local ref as having a forced update. Instead we
should just silently discard the + request.

Don't configure remote "." to fetch everything to itself
When we are talking about a remote URI of "." we are really talking
about *this* repository that we are fetching into or pushing out of.
There are no matching tracking branches for this repository; we
do not attempt to map a ref back to ourselves as this would either
create an infinite cycle (for example "fetch = +refs/*:refs/mine/*")
or it causes problems when we attempt to push back to ourselves.
So we really cannot setup a remote like this:
[remote "."]
url = .
fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
In the case of `git push . B:T` to fast-forward branch T to B's
current commit git-send-pack will update branch T to B, assuming that
T is the remote tracking branch for B. This update is performed
immediately before git-send-pack asks git-receive-pack to perform
the same update, and git-receive-pack then fails because T is not
where git-send-pack told it to expect T to be at.
In the case of `git fetch .` we really should do the same thing as
`git fetch $otherrepo`, that is load .git/FETCH_HEAD with the commit
of HEAD, so that `git pull .` will report "Already up-to-date".
We have always behaved like this before on this insane request and
we should at least continue to behave the same way. With the above
(bad) remote configuration we were instead getting fetch errors
about funny refs, e.g. "refs/stash".

If we are running fetch in a repository that has a detached HEAD
then there is no current_branch available. In such a case any ref
that the fetch might update by definition cannot also be the current
branch so we should always bypass the "don't update HEAD" test.

Remove unnecessary 'fetch' argument from transport_get API
We don't actually need to know at the time of transport_get if the
caller wants to fetch, push, or do both on the returned object.
It is easier to just delay the initialization of the HTTP walker

Don't bother passing ref log details to walker in builtin-fetch
When using the walker API within builtin-fetch we don't allow
it to update refs locally; instead that action is reserved for
builtin-fetch's own main loop once the objects have actually
been downloaded.
Passing NULL here will bypass the unnecessary malloc/free of a
string buffer within the walker API. That buffer is never used
because the prior argument (the refs to update) is also NULL.

Properly cleanup in http_cleanup so builtin-fetch does not segfault
Junio and I both noticed that the new builtin-fetch was segfaulting
immediately on http/https/ftp style URLs (those that went through
libcurl and the commit walker). Although the builtin-fetch changes
in this area were really just minor refactorings there was one major
change made: we invoked http_init(), http_cleanup() then http_init()
again in the same process.
When we call curl_easy_cleanup() on each active_request_slot we
are telling libcurl we did not want that buffer to be used again.
Unfortunately we did not also deallocate the active_request_slot
itself nor did we NULL out active_queue_head. This lead us to
attempt to reuse these cleaned up libcurl handles when we later tried
to invoke http_init() a second time to reactivate the curl library.
The next file get operation then immediately segfaulted on most
versions of libcurl.
Properly freeing our own buffers and clearing the list causes us to
reinitialize the curl buffers again if/when we need to use libcurl
from within this same process.

Backup the array passed to fetch_pack so we can free items
fetch_pack() can call remove_duplicates() on its input array and
this will possibly overwrite an earlier entry with a later one if
there are any duplicates in the input array. In such a case the
caller here might then attempt to free an item multiple times as
it goes through its cleanup.
I also forgot to free the heads array we pass down into fetch_pack()
when I introduced the allocation of it in this function during my
builtin-fetch cleanup series. Better free it while we are here
working on related memory management fixes.

Fix builtin-fetch memory corruption by not overstepping array
A long time ago Junio added this line to always ensure that the
output array created by remove_duplicates() had a NULL as its
terminating node. Today none of the downstream consumers of this
array care about a NULL terminator; they only pay attention to the
size of the array (as indicated by nr_heads). In (nearly?) all
cases passing a NULL element will cause SIGSEGV failures. So this
NULL terminal is not actually necessary.
Unfortunately we cannot continue to NULL terminate the array at
this point as the array may only have been allocated large enough
to match the input of nr_heads. If there are no duplicates than
we would be trying to store NULL into heads[nr_heads] and that may
be outside of the array.
My recent series to cleanup builtin-fetch changed the allocation of
the heads array from 256 entries to exactly nr_heads thus ensuring
we were always overstepping the array and causing memory corruption.

Always ensure the pack.keep file is removed by git-fetch
If we are using a native transport and the transport chose to
save the packfile it may have created a .keep file to protect
the packfile from a concurrently running git-repack process.
In such a case the git-fetch process should make sure it will
unlink the .keep file even if it fails to update any refs as
otherwise the newly downloaded packfile's diskspace will never
be reclaimed if the objects are not actually referenced.

If we are using a native packfile to perform a git-fetch invocation
and the received packfile contained more than the configured limits
of fetch.unpackLimit/transfer.unpackLimit then index-pack will output
a single line saying "keep\t$sha1\n" to stdout. This line needs to
be captured and retained so we can delete the corresponding .keep
file ("$GIT_DIR/objects/pack/pack-$sha1.keep") once all refs have
been safely updated.
This trick has long been in use with git-fetch.sh and its lower level
helper git-fetch--tool as a way to allow index-pack to save the new
packfile before the refs have been updated and yet avoid a race with
any concurrently running git-repack process. It was unfortunately
lost when git-fetch.sh was converted to pure C and fetch--tool was
no longer being invoked.

Refactor index-pack "keep $sha1" handling for reuse
There is a subtle (but important) linkage between receive-pack and
index-pack that allows index-pack to create a packfile but protect
it from being deleted by a concurrent `git repack -a -d` operation.
The linkage works by having index-pack mark the newly created pack
with a ".keep" file and then it passes the SHA-1 name of that new
packfile to receive-pack along its stdout channel.
The receive-pack process must unkeep the packfile by deleting the
.keep file, but can it can only do so after all elgible refs have
been updated in the receiving repository. This ensures that the
packfile is either kept or its objects are reachable, preventing
a concurrent repacker from deleting the packfile before it can
determine that its objects are actually needed by the repository.
The new builtin-fetch code needs to perform the same actions if
it choose to run index-pack rather than unpack-objects, so I am
moving this code out to its own function where both receive-pack
and fetch-pack are able to invoke it when necessary. The caller
is responsible for deleting the returned ".keep" and freeing the
path if the returned path is not NULL.

Commit walkers need to know the SHA-1 name of any objects they
have been asked to fetch while the native pack transport only
wants to know the names of the remote refs as the remote side
must do the name->SHA-1 translation.
Since we only have three fetch implementations and one of them
(bundle) doesn't even need the name information we can reduce
the code required to perform a fetch by having just one function
and passing of the filtered list of refs to be fetched. Each
transport can then obtain the information it needs from that ref
array to construct its own internal operation state.

Thanks to Johannes Schindelin for review and fixes, and Julian

This changes a few small bits of behavior:
branch.<name>.merge is parsed as if it were the lhs of a fetch
refspec, and does not have to exactly match the actual lhs of a
refspec, so long as it is a valid abbreviation for the same ref.
branch.<name>.merge is no longer ignored if the remote is configured
with a branches/* file. Neither behavior is useful, because there can
only be one ref that gets fetched, but this is more consistant.
Also, fetch prints different information to standard out.

Added example hook script to save/restore permissions/ownership.
Usage info is emebed in the script, but the gist of it is to run the script
from a pre-commit hook to save permissions/ownership data to a file and check
that file into the repository. Then, a post_merge hook reads the file and
updates working tree permissions/ownership. All updates are transparent to
the user (although there is a --verbose option). Merge conflicts are handled
in the "read" phase (in pre-commit), and the script aborts the commit and
tells you how to fix things in the case of a merge conflict in the metadata
file. This same idea could be extended to handle file ACLs or other file
metadata if desired.

The example provided with the update-hook-example does not work on

refs/heads/bw/ linus
refs/heads/tmp/* *
In POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions, the star (*), is not an wildcard
meaning "match everything", it matches 0 or more matches of the atom
preceding it.
So to match "refs/heads/bw/topic-branch", the matcher should be written
as "refs/heads/bw/.*" to match "refs/heads/bw/" and everything after it.
This moves "shift" out of the argument processing "case". It also
replaces quite a bit of expr calls with ${parameter#word} constructs,
and uses ${parameter:+word} for avoiding conditionals where possible.

git-commit: partial commit of paths only removed from the index
Because a partial commit is meant to be a way to ignore what are
staged in the index, "git rm --cached A && git commit A" should
just record what is in A on the filesystem. The previous patch
made the command sequence to barf, saying that A has not been
added yet. This fixes it.
When making a partial commit, git-commit uses git-ls-files with
the --error-unmatch option to expand and sanity check the user
supplied path patterns. When any path pattern does not match
with the paths known to the index, it errors out, in order to
catch a common mistake to say "git commit Makefiel cache.h"
and end up with a commit that touches only cache.h (notice the
misspelled "Makefile"). This detection however does not work
well when the path has already been removed from the index.
If you drop a path from the index and try to commit that
partially, i.e.
the command complains because git does not know anything about
COPYING anymore.
This introduces a new option --with-tree to git-ls-files and
uses it in git-commit when we build a temporary index to
write a tree object for the partial commit.
When --with-tree=<tree-ish> option is specified, names from the
given tree are added to the set of names the index knows about,
so we can treat COPYING file in the example as known.
Of course, there is no reason to use "git rm" and git-aware

git-gc --auto: run "repack -A -d -l" as necessary.
This teaches "git-gc --auto" to consolidate many packs into one
without losing unreachable objects in them by using "repack -A"
when there are too many packfiles that are not marked with *.keep
in the repository. gc.autopacklimit configuration can be used
to set the maximum number of packs a repository is allowed to
have before this mechanism kicks in.
git-gc --auto: restructure the way "repack" command line is built.
We used to build the command line to run repack outside of
need_to_gc() but with the next patch we would want to tweak the
command line depending on the nature of need.
git-gc --auto: protect ourselves from accumulated cruft
Deciding to run "repack -d -l" when there are too many
loose objects would backfire when there are too many loose
objects that are unreachable, because repacking that way would
never improve the situation. Detect that case by checking the
number of loose objects again after automatic garbage collection
runs, and issue an warning to run "prune" manually.
send-email: make message-id generation a bit more robust
Earlier code took Unix time and appended a few random digits.
If you are firing off many messages within a second, you could
issue the same id to different messages, which is a no-no. If
you send out 31 messages within a single second, with random
integer taken out of rand(4200), you have about 10% chance of
producing the same message ID.
This fixes the problem by uses a prefix string which is
constant-per-invocation (time and pid), with a serial number for
each message generated by the process appended at the end.
This new option is meant to be used in conjunction with the
options "git repack -a -d" usually invokes the underlying
pack-objects with. When this option is given, objects unreachable
from the refs in packs named with --unpacked= option are added
to the resulting pack, in addition to the reachable objects that
are not in packs marked with *.keep files.

git-gui: Disable native platform text selection in "lists"
Sometimes we use a Tk text widget as though it were a listbox.
This happens typically when we want to show an icon to the left
of the text label or just when a text widget is generally a better
choice then the native listbox widget.
In these cases if we want the user to have control over the selection
we implement our own "in_sel" tag that shows the selected region
and we perform our own selection management in the background
via keybindings and mouse bindings. In such uses we don't want
the user to be able to activate the native platform selection by
dragging their mouse through the text widget. Doing so creates a
very confusing display and the user is left wondering what it may
mean to have two different types of selection in the same widget.
Tk doesn't allow us to delete the "sel" tag that it uses internally
to manage the native selection but it will allow us to make it
invisible by setting the tag to have the same display properties
as unselected text. So long as we don't actually use the "sel"
tag for anything in code its effectively invisible.

add_rfc2047 will be used and don't allocate huge memory area for the many
cases where it's not.

Rewrite convert_to_{git,working_tree} to use strbuf's.
* Now, those functions take an "out" strbuf argument, where they store their
result if any. In that case, it also returns 1, else it returns 0.
* those functions support "in place" editing, in the sense that it's OK to
call them this way:
convert_to_git(path, sb->buf, sb->len, sb);
When doable, conversions are done in place for real, else the strbuf
content is just replaced with the new one, transparentely for the caller.
If you want to create a new filter working this way, being the accumulation
of filter1, filter2, ... filtern, then your meta_filter would be:
int meta_filter(..., const char *src, size_t len, struct strbuf *sb)
{
int ret = 0;
ret |= filter1(...., src, len, sb);
if (ret) {
src = sb->buf;
len = sb->len;
}
ret |= filter2(...., src, len, sb);
if (ret) {
src = sb->buf;
len = sb->len;
}
....
return ret | filtern(..., src, len, sb);
}
That's why subfilters the convert_to_* functions called were also rewritten
to work this way.

* strbuf_splice replace a portion of the buffer with another.
* strbuf_attach replace a strbuf buffer with the given one, that should be
malloc'ed. Then it enforces strbuf's invariants. If alloc > len, then this
function has negligible cost, else it will perform a realloc, possibly
with a cost.
Also some style issues are fixed now.

documentation: replace Discussion section by link to user-manual chapter
The "Discussion" section has a lot of useful information, but is a
little wordy, especially for an already-long man page, and is designed
for an audience more of potential git hackers than users, which probably
doesn't make as much sense as git matures. Also, I (perhaps foolishly)
forked a version in the user manual, which has been significantly
rewritten in an attempt to address some of the above problems.
So, remove this section and replace it by a (very terse) summary of the
original material--my attempt at the World's Shortest Git Overview--and
a reference to the appropriate chapter of the user manual. It's
unfortunate to remove something that's been in this place for a long
time, as some people may still depend on finding it there. But I think
we'll want to do this some day anyway.

work in the new order, to add some examples, and to move plumbing
commands (like git-commit-tree) to the following chapter.

The bottom-up blog, tree, commit order makes sense unless you want to

you go in the other order....,

Add an example using git-ls-files, standardize on the new "index"
terminology (as opposed to "cache"), attempt to clarify discussion and
make it a little shorter, avoid some unnecessary jargon ("write-back
cache").

user-manual: create new "low-level git operations" chapter
The low-level index operations aren't as important to regular users as
the rest of this "git concepts" chapter; so move it into a separate
chapter, and do some minor cleanup.

user-manual: rename "git internals" to "git concepts"
"git internals" sounds like something only git developers must know
about, but this stuff should be of wider interest. Rename the chapter
and give it a slightly friendlier introduction.
