2020-09-17contrib/completion: extract common diff/difftool optionsLibravatar Denton Liu1-9/+6
difftool parses its own options and then passes the remaining options onto diff. As a result, they share common command-line options. Instead of duplicating the list, use a shared $__git_diff_difftool_options list. The completion for diff is missing --relative and the completion for difftool is missing --no-index. Add both of these to the common list. Signed-off-by: Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-09-17git-diff.txt: backtick quote command textLibravatar Denton Liu1-9/+9
The modern way to quote commands in the documentation is to use backticks instead of double-quotes as this renders the text with the code style. Convert double-quoted command text to backtick-quoted commands. While we're at it, quote one instance of `^@`.

2020-09-09Merge branch 'jt/interpret-branch-name-fallback'Libravatar Junio C Hamano20-53/+98
"git status" has trouble showing where it came from by interpreting reflog entries that recordcertain events, e.g. "checkout @{u}", and gives a hard/fatal error. Even though it inherently is impossible to give a correct answer because the reflog entries lose some information (e.g. "@{u}" does not record what branch the user was on hence which branch 'the upstream' needs to be computed, and even if the record were available, the relationship between branches may have changed), at least hide the error to allow "status" show its output. * jt/interpret-branch-name-fallback: wt-status: tolerate dangling marks refs: move dwim_ref() to header file sha1-name: replace unsigned int with option struct

2020-09-02wt-status: tolerate dangling marksLibravatar Jonathan Tan19-29/+60
When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this: git clone $URL client cd client git checkout @{u} git status no status is printed, but instead an error message: fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch (This error message when running "git branch" persists even after checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.) This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't work because HEAD no longer points to a branch. Therefore, when calculating the status of a worktree, tolerate dangling marks. This is done by adding an additional parameter to dwim_ref() and repo_dwim_ref().

2020-09-02fetch: no FETCH_HEAD display if --no-write-fetch-headLibravatar Jonathan Tan3-11/+22
887952b8c6 ("fetch: optionally allow disabling FETCH_HEAD update", 2020-08-18) introduced the ability to disable writing to FETCH_HEAD during fetch, but did not suppress the "<source> -> FETCH_HEAD" message when this ability is used. This message is misleading in this case, because FETCH_HEAD is not written. Also, because "fetch" is used to lazy-fetch missing objects in a partial clone, this significantly clutters up the output in that case since the objects to be fetched are potentially numerous. Therefore, suppress this message when --no-write-fetch-head is passed (but not when --dry-run is set).

2020-09-02ci: avoid ugly "failure" in the `ci-config` jobLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+1
In the common case where users have _not_ pushed a `ci-config` branch to configure which branches should be included in the GitHub workflow runs, there is a big fat ugly annotation about a failure in the run's log: X Check failure on line 1 in .github @github-actions github-actions / ci-config .github#L1 Process completed with exit code 128. The reason is that the `ci-config` job tries to clone that `ci-config` branch, and even if it is configured to continue on error, the annotation is displayed, and it is distracting. Let's just handle this on the shell script level, so that the job's step is not marked as a failure.

The section added in e76eec35540f (ci: allow per-branch config for GitHub Actions, 2020-05-07) contains a `&&`-chain that connects several commands. The first command is actually so long that it stretches over multiple lines, and as per usual, the continuation lines are indented one more level than the first. However, the subsequent commands in the `&&`-chain were also indented one more level than the first command, which was almost certainly unintended.

2020-09-02xrealloc: do not reuse pointer freed by zero-length realloc()Libravatar Jeff King1-2/+5
This patch fixes a bug where xrealloc(ptr, 0) can double-free and corrupt the heap on some platforms (including at least glibc). The C99 standard says of malloc (section 7.20.3): If the size of the space requested is zero, the behavior is implementation-defined: either a null pointer is returned, or the behavior is as if the size were some nonzero value, except that the returned pointer shall not be used to access an object. So we might get NULL back, or we might get an actual pointer (but we're not allowed to look at its contents). To simplify our code, our xmalloc() handles a NULL return by converting it into a single-byte allocation. That way callers get consistent behavior. This was done way back in 4e7a2eccc2 (?alloc: do not return NULL when asked for zero bytes, 2005-12-29). We also gave xcalloc() and xrealloc() the same treatment. And according to C99, that is fine; the text above is in a paragraph that applies to all three. But what happens to the memory we passed to realloc() in such a case? I.e., if we do: ret = realloc(ptr, 0); and "ptr" is non-NULL, but we get NULL back, is "ptr" still valid? C99 doesn't cover this case specifically, but says (section 7.20.3.4): The realloc function deallocates the old object pointed to by ptr and returns a pointer to a new object that has the size specified by size. So "ptr" is now deallocated, and we must only look at "ret". And since "ret" is NULL, that means we have no allocated object at all. But that's not quite the whole story. It also says: If memory for the new object cannot be allocated, the old object is not deallocated and its value is unchanged. [...] The realloc function returns a pointer to the new object (which may have the same value as a pointer to the old object), or a null pointer if the new object could not be allocated. So if we see a NULL return with a non-zero size, we can expect that the original object _is_ still valid. But with a non-zero size, it's ambiguous. The NULL return might mean a failure (in which case the object is valid), or it might mean that we successfully allocated nothing, and used NULL to represent that. The glibc manpage for realloc() explicitly says: [...]if size is equal to zero, and ptr is not NULL, then the call is equivalent to free(ptr). Likewise, this StackOverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2135302 claims that C89 gave similar guidance (but I don't have a copy to verify it). A comment on this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2022410 claims that Microsoft's CRT behaves the same. But our current "retry with 1 byte" code passes the original pointer again. So on glibc, we effectively free() the pointer and then try to realloc() it again, which is undefined behavior. The simplest fix here is to just pass "ret" (which we know to be NULL) to the follow-up realloc(). But that means that a system which _doesn't_ free the original pointer would leak it. It's not clear if any such systems exist, and that interpretation of the standard seems unlikely (I'd expect a system that doesn't deallocate to simply return the original pointer in this case). But it's easy enough to err on the safe side, and just never pass a zero size to realloc() at all. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

In fde97d8ac6 (Update documentation to remove incorrect GIT_DIFF_OPTS example., 2006-11-27), the description of the 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' variable was moved from 'diff-format.txt' to 'git.txt', and the documentation was updated to remove a 'diff(1)' invocation since Git did not use an external diff program anymore by default. However, the description of 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' still mentions "instead of the diff invocation described above", which is confusing. Correct that outdated sentence. Also, link to git(1) in 'diff-generate-patch.txt' when GIT_DIFF_OPTS and GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF are mentioned, so that users can easily know what these variables are about.
