The intent is not to alarm the user, but just to test if there is a new enough curl installed. However, if you look at search engine suggested completions, the above "error" messages are confusing people into thinking curl is a hard requirement.

2012-11-24Completion must sort before using uniqLibravatar Marc Khouzam1-1/+1
The user can be presented with invalid completion results when trying to complete a 'git checkout' command. This can happen when using a branch name prefix that matches multiple remote branches. For example, if available branches are: master remotes/GitHub/maint remotes/GitHub/master remotes/origin/maint remotes/origin/master When performing completion on 'git checkout ma' the user will be given the choices: maint master However, 'git checkout maint' will fail in this case, although completion previously said 'maint' was valid. Furthermore, when performing completion on 'git checkout mai', no choices will be suggested. So, the user is first told that the branch name 'maint' is valid, but when trying to complete 'mai' into 'maint', that completion is no longer valid. The completion results should never propose 'maint' as a valid branch name, since 'git checkout' will refuse it. The reason for this bug is that the uniq program only works with sorted input. The man page states "uniq prints the unique lines in a sorted file". When __git_refs uses the guess heuristic employed by checkout for tracking branches it wants to consider remote branches but only if the branch name is unique. To do that, it calls 'uniq -u'. However the input given to 'uniq -u' is not sorted. Therefore, in the above example, when dealing with 'git checkout ma', "__git_refs '' 1" will find the following list: master maint master maint master which, when passed to 'uniq -u' will remain the same. Therefore 'maint' will be wrongly suggested as a valid option. When dealing with 'git checkout mai', the list will be: maint maint which happens to be sorted and will be emptied by 'uniq -u', properly ignoring 'maint'. A solution for preventing the completion script from suggesting such invalid branch names is to first call 'sort' and then 'uniq -u'.

2012-11-15config: don't segfault when given --path with a missing valueLibravatar Carlos Martín Nieto2-1/+7
When given a variable without a value, such as '[section] var' and asking git-config to treat it as a path, git_config_pathname returns an error and doesn't modify its output parameter. show_config assumes that the call is always successful and sets a variable to indicate that vptr should be freed. In case of an error however, trying to do this will cause the program to be killed, as it's pointing to memory in the stack. Detect the error and return immediately to avoid freeing or accessing the uninitialed memory in the stack.

When we switch to a new branch using checkout, we usually output a message indicating what happened. However, when we switch from an unborn branch to a new branch, we do not print anything, which may leave the user wondering what happened.

2012-10-28diff_grep: use textconv buffers for add/deleted filesLibravatar Jeff King2-2/+14
If you use "-G" to grep a diff, we will apply a configured textconv filter to the data before generating the diff. However, if the diff is an addition or deletion, we do not bother running the diff at all, and just look for the token in the added (or removed) content. This works because we know that the diff must contain every line of content. However, while we used the textconv-derived buffers in the regular diff, we accidentally passed the original unmodified buffers to regexec when checking the added or removed content. This could lead to an incorrect answer. Worse, in some cases we might have a textconv buffer but no original buffer (e.g., if we pulled the textconv data from cache, or if we reused a working tree file when generating it). In that case, we could actually feed NULL to regexec and segfault. Reported-by: Peter Oberndorfer <kumbayo84@arcor.de> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2012-10-25git-pull: Avoid merge-base on detached headLibravatar Phil Hord1-0/+1
git pull --rebase does some clever tricks to find the base for $upstream, but it forgets that we may not have any branch at all. When this happens, git merge-base reports its "usage" help in the middle of an otherwise successful rebase operation, because git-merge is called with one too few parameters. Since we do not need the merge-base trick in the case of a detached HEAD, detect this condition and bypass the clever trick and the usage noise.

2012-10-19Fix potential hang in https handshakeLibravatar Stefan Zager1-0/+12
It has been observed that curl_multi_timeout may return a very long timeout value (e.g., 294 seconds and some usec) just before curl_multi_fdset returns no file descriptors for reading. The upshot is that select() will hang for a long time -- long enough for an https handshake to be dropped. The observed behavior is that the git command will hang at the terminal and never transfer any data. This patch is a workaround for a probable bug in libcurl. The bug only seems to manifest around a very specific set of circumstances: - curl version (from curl/curlver.h): #define LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM 0x071307 - git-remote-https running on an ubuntu-lucid VM. - Connecting through squid proxy running on another VM. Interestingly, the problem doesn't manifest if a host connects through squid proxy running on localhost; only if the proxy is on a separate VM (not sure if the squid host needs to be on a separate physical machine). That would seem to suggest that this issue is timing-sensitive. This patch is more or less in line with a recommendation in the curl docs about how to behave when curl_multi_fdset doesn't return and file descriptors: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_multi_fdset.html Signed-off-by: Stefan Zager <szager@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-10-18branch: skip commit checks when deleting symref branchesLibravatar René Scharfe2-2/+17
Before a branch is deleted, we check that it points to a valid commit. With -d we also check that the commit is a merged; this check is not done with -D. The reason for that is that commits pointed to by branches should never go missing; if they do then something broke and it's better to stop instead of adding to the mess. And a non-merged commit may contain changes that are worth preserving, so we require the stronger option -D instead of -d to get rid of them. If a branch consists of a symref, these concerns don't apply. Deleting such a branch can't make a commit become unreferenced, so we don't need to check if it is merged, or even if it is actually a valid commit. Skip them in that case. This allows us to delete dangling symref branches. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-10-18format-patch tests: check quoting/encoding in To: and Cc: headersLibravatar Jan H. Schönherr1-32/+66
git-format-patch does currently not parse user supplied extra header values (e. g., --cc, --add-header) and just replays them. That forces users to add them RFC 2822/2047 conform in encoded form, e.g. --cc '=?UTF-8?q?Jan=20H=2E=20Sch=C3=B6nherr?= <...>' which is inconvenient. We would want to update git-format-patch to accept human-readable input --cc 'Jan H. Schönherr <...>' and handle the encoding, wrapping and quoting internally in the future, similar to what is already done in git-send-email. The necessary code should mostly exist in the code paths that handle the From: and Subject: headers. Whether we want to do this only for the git-format-patch options --to and --cc (and the corresponding config options) or also for user supplied headers via --add-header, is open for discussion. For now, add test_expect_failure tests for To: and Cc: headers as a reminder and fix tests that would otherwise fail should this get implemented. Signed-off-by: Jan H.
