2020-10-08checkout: learn to respect checkout.guessLibravatar Denton Liu8-12/+101
The current behavior of git checkout/switch is that --guess is currently enabled by default. However, some users may not wish for this to happen automatically. Instead of forcing users to specify --no-guess manually each time, teach these commands the checkout.guess configuration variable that gives users the option to set a default behavior. Teach the completion script to recognize the new config variable and disable DWIM logic if it is set to false.

2020-10-03credential: treat CR/LF as line endings in the credential protocolLibravatar Nikita Leonov1-1/+1
This fix makes using Git credentials more friendly to Windows users: it allows a credential helper to communicate using CR/LF line endings ("DOS line endings" commonly found on Windows) instead of LF-only line endings ("Unix line endings"). Note that this changes the behavior a bit: if a credential helper produces, say, a password with a trailing Carriage Return character, that will now be culled even when the rest of the lines end only in Line Feed characters, indicating that the Carriage Return was not meant to be part of the line ending. In practice, it seems _very_ unlikely that something like this happens. Passwords usually need to consist of non-control characters, URLs need to have special characters URL-encoded, and user names, well, are names. However, it _does_ help on Windows, where CR/LF line endings are common: as unrecognized commands are simply ignored by the credential machinery, even a command like `quit\r` (which is clearly intended to abort) would simply be ignored (silently) by Git. So let's change the credential machinery to accept both CR/LF and LF line endings. While we do this for the credential helper protocol, we do _not_ adjust `git credential-cache--daemon` (which won't work on Windows, anyway, because it requires Unix sockets) nor `git credential-store` (which writes the file `~/.git-credentials` which we consider an implementation detail that should be opaque to the user, read: we do expect users _not_ to edit this file manually).

2020-10-03gitk: Resize panes correctly when reducing window sizeLibravatar Paul Mackerras1-4/+11
The resizeclistpanes and resizecdetpanes procedures attempt to keep the horizontal proportions of the panes of the gitk window approximately constant when the gitk window is resized. However, if the size is reduced enough that an existing sash position would go outside the window, Tk moves the sash to the left to keep it inside the window (without moving other sash positions to keep the proportions). This happens before these resize procedures get control, and so they work with incorrect proportions. To fix this, we record the sash positions we set previously and use those previously-set sash positions rather than the current sash positions when computing the proportions.

2020-10-02commit-reach: fix in_merge_bases_many bugLibravatar Derrick Stolee3-4/+36
Way back in f9b8908b (commit.c: use generation numbers for in_merge_bases(), 2018-05-01), a heuristic was used to short-circuit the in_merge_bases() walk. This works just fine as long as the caller is checking only two commits, but when there are multiple, there is a possibility that this heuristic is _very wrong_. Some code moves since then has changed this method to repo_in_merge_bases_many() inside commit-reach.c. The heuristic computes the minimum generation number of the "reference" list, then compares this number to the generation number of the "commit". In a recent topic, a test was added that used in_merge_bases_many() to test if a commit was reachable from a number of commits pulled from a reflog. However, this highlighted the problem: if any of the reference commits have a smaller generation number than the given commit, then the walk is skipped _even if there exist some with higher generation number_. This heuristic is wrong! It must check the MAXIMUM generation number of the reference commits, not the MINIMUM. This highlights a testing gap. t6600-test-reach.sh covers many methods in commit-reach.c, including in_merge_bases() and get_merge_bases_many(), but since these methods either restrict to two input commits or actually look for the full list of merge bases, they don't check this heuristic! Add a possible input to "test-tool reach" that tests in_merge_bases_many() and add tests to t6600-test-reach.sh that cover this heuristic. This includes cases for the reference commits having generation above and below the generation of the input commit, but also having maximum generation below the generation of the input commit. The fix itself is to swap min_generation with a max_generation in repo_in_merge_bases_many().

2020-10-01format-patch: teach format.useAutoBase "whenAble" optionLibravatar Jacob Keller3-26/+130
The format.useAutoBase configuration option exists to allow users to enable '--base=auto' for format-patch by default. This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures when attempting to format an ancient patch: $ git format-patch -1 <an old commit> fatal: base commit shouldn't be in revision list This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious that the user requested a --base (since this was in the configuration, not on the command line). We do want --base=auto to fail when it cannot provide a suitable base, as it would be equally confusing if a formatted patch did not include the base information when it was requested. Teach format.useAutoBase a new mode, "whenAble". This mode will cause format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can. However, if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue formatting the patch without a base commit. In order to avoid making yet another branch name unusable with --base, do not teach --base=whenAble or --base=whenable. Instead, refactor the base_commit option to use a callback, and rely on the global configuration variable auto_base. This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit. This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to continue the format. Add tests to cover the new mode of operation for --base.

2020-09-30refspec: add support for negative refspecsLibravatar Jacob Keller7-13/+367
Both fetch and push support pattern refspecs which allow fetching or pushing references that match a specific pattern. Because these patterns are globs, they have somewhat limited ability to express more complex situations. For example, suppose you wish to fetch all branches from a remote except for a specific one. To allow this, you must setup a set of refspecs which match only the branches you want. Because refspecs are either explicit name matches, or simple globs, many patterns cannot be expressed. Add support for a new type of refspec, referred to as "negative" refspecs. These are prefixed with a '^' and mean "exclude any ref matching this refspec". They can only have one "side" which always refers to the source. During a fetch, this refers to the name of the ref on the remote. During a push, this refers to the name of the ref on the local side. With negative refspecs, users can express more complex patterns. For example: git fetch origin refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* ^refs/heads/dontwant will fetch all branches on origin into remotes/origin, but will exclude fetching the branch named dontwant. Refspecs today are commutative, meaning that order doesn't expressly matter. Rather than forcing an implied order, negative refspecs will always be applied last. That is, in order to match, a ref must match at least one positive refspec, and match none of the negative refspecs. This is similar to how negative pathspecs work.

2020-09-30combine-diff: handle --find-object in multitree code pathLibravatar Jeff King2-2/+96
When doing combined diffs, we have two possible code paths: - a slower one which independently diffs against each parent, applies any filters, and then intersects the resulting paths - a faster one which walks all trees simultaneously When the diff options specify that we must do certain filters, like pickaxe, then we always use the slow path, since the pickaxe code only knows how to handle filepairs, not the n-parent entries generated for combined diffs. But there are two problems with the slow path: 1. It's slow. Running: git rev-list HEAD | git diff-tree --stdin -r -c in git.git takes ~3s on my machine. But adding "--find-object" to that increases it to ~6s, even though find-object itself should incur only a few extra oid comparisons. On linux.git, it's even worse: 35s versus 215s. 2. It doesn't catch all cases where a particular path is interesting. Consider a merge with parent blobs X and Y for a particular path, and end result Z. That should be interesting according to "-c", because the result doesn't match either parent. And it should be interesting even with "--find-object=X", because "X" went away in the merge. But because we perform each pairwise diff independently, this confuses the intersection code. The change from X to Z is still interesting according to --find-object. But in the other parent we went from Y to Z, so the diff appears empty! That causes the intersection code to think that parent didn't change the path, and thus it's not interesting for "-c". This patch fixes both by implementing --find-object for the multitree code. It's a bit unfortunate that we have to duplicate some logic from diffcore-pickaxe, but this is the best we can do for now. In an ideal world, all of the diffcore code would stop thinking about filepairs and start thinking about n-parent sets, and we could use the multitree walk with all of it. Until then, there are some leftover warts: - other pickaxe operations, like -S or -G, still suffer from both problems. These would be hard to adapt because they rely on having a diff_filespec() for each path to look at content. And we'd need to define what an n-way "change" means in each case (probably easy for "-S", which can compare counts, but not so clear for -G, which is about grepping diffs). - other options besides --find-object may cause us to use the slow pairwise path, in which case we'll go back to producing a different (wrong) answer for the X/Y/Z case above. We may be able to hack around these, but I think the ultimate solution will be a larger rewrite of the diffcore code. For now, this patch improves one specific case but leaves the rest.

2020-09-30hashmap_for_each_entry(): workaround MSVC's runtime check failure #3Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
The OFFSETOF_VAR(var, member) macro is implemented in terms of offsetof(typeof(*var), member) with compilers that know typeof(), but its fallback implemenation compares &(var->member) and (var) and count the distance in bytes, i.e. ((uintptr_t)&(var)->member - (uintptr_t)(var)) MSVC's runtime check, when fed an uninitialized 'var', flags this as a use of an uninitialized variable (and that is legit---uninitialized contents of 'var' is subtracted) in a debug build. After auditing all 6 uses of OFFSETOF_VAR(), 1 of them does feed a potentially uninitialized 'var' to the macro in the beginning of the for() loop: #define hashmap_for_each_entry(map, iter, var, member) \ for (var = hashmap_iter_first_entry_offset(map, iter, \ OFFSETOF_VAR(var, member)); \ var; \ var = hashmap_iter_next_entry_offset(iter, \ OFFSETOF_VAR(var, member))) We can work around this by making sure that var has _some_ value when OFFSETOF_VAR() is called. Strictly speaking, it invites undefined behaviour to use NULL here if we end up with pointer comparison, but MSVC runtime seems to be happy with it, and most other systems have typeof() and don't even need pointer comparison fallback code.

To that end, we just added some sensible defaults that will let users open the worktree in Visual Studio and start building. This expects the dependencies (such as zlib) to be available already, though. If they are not available, we expect the user to run `compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_install.bat`. Rather than requiring this step to be manual, detect the situation and run it as part of the CMake configuration step. Note that this obviously only applies to the scenario when we want to compile in Visual Studio (i.e. with MS Visual C), not with GCC. Therefore, we guard this new code block behind the `MSVC` conditional. This concludes our journey to make it as effortless as possible to start developing Git in Visual Studio: all the developer needs to do is to clone Git's repository, open the worktree via `File>Open>Folder...` and wait for CMake to finish configuring.

2020-09-30cmake (Windows): complain when encountering an unknown compilerLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+2
We have some custom handling regarding the link options, which are specific to each compiler. Therefore: let's not just continue without setting the link options if configuring for a currently unhandled compiler, but error out.

2020-09-30cmake (Windows): let the `.dll` files be found when running the testsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+3
Contrary to Unix-ish platforms, the dependencies' shared libraries are not usually found in one central place. In our case, since we use `vcpkg`, they are to be found inside the `compat/vcbuild/vcpkg/` tree. Let's make sure that they are in the search path when running the tests.
