2017-05-16Merge branch 'js/larger-timestamps'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+4
Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot represent some timestamp that the platform allows. Invent a separate and dedicated timestamp_t (so that we can distingiuish timestamps and a vanilla ulongs, which along is already a good move), and then declare uintmax_t is the type to be used as the timestamp_t. * js/larger-timestamps: archive-tar: fix a sparse 'constant too large' warning use uintmax_t for timestamps date.c: abort if the system time cannot handle one of our timestamps timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps PRItime: introduce a new "printf format" for timestamps parse_timestamp(): specify explicitly where we parse timestamps t0006 & t5000: skip "far in the future" test when time_t is too limited t0006 & t5000: prepare for 64-bit timestamps ref-filter: avoid using `unsigned long` for catch-all data type

2017-05-12read-tree -m: make error message for merging 0 trees less smart aleckLibravatar Jean-Noel Avila1-1/+1
"git read-tree -m" requires a tree argument to name the tree to be merged in. Git uses a cutesy error message to say so and why: $ git read-tree -m warning: read-tree: emptying the index with no arguments is deprecated; use --empty fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees? $ git read-tree -m --empty fatal: just how do you expect me to merge 0 trees? When lucky, that could produce an ah-hah moment for the user, but it's more likely to irritate and distract them. Instead, tell the user plainly that the tree argument is required. Also document this requirement in the git-read-tree(1) manpage where there is room to explain it in a more straightforward way.

2017-05-12docs/config: consistify include.path examplesLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Most of the include examples use "foo.inc", but some use "foo". Since the string of examples are meant to show variations and how they differ, it's a good idea to change only one thing at a time. The filename differences are not relevant to what we're trying to show.

2017-05-12docs/config: avoid the term "expand" for includesLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+4
Using the word "expand" to refer to including the contents of another config file isn't really accurate, since it's a verbatim insertion. And it can cause confusion with the expanding of the path itself via things like "~". Let's clarify when we are referring to the contents versus the filename, and use appropriate verbs in each case.

2017-05-12docs/config: give a relative includeIf exampleLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
The changes in the previous commit hopefully clarify that the evaluation of an include "path" variable is the same no matter if it's in a conditional section or not. But since this question came up on the list, let's add an example that makes it obvious.

2017-05-12docs/config: clarify include/includeIf relationshipLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+11
The "includeIf" directives behave exactly like include ones, except they only kick in when the conditional is true. That was mentioned in the "conditional" section, but let's make it more clear for the whole "includes" section, since people don't necessarily read the documentation top to bottom.

2017-05-10receive-pack: verify push options in certLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-6/+26
In commit f6a4e61 ("push: accept push options", 2016-07-14), send-pack was taught to include push options both within the signed cert (if the push is a signed push) and outside the signed cert; however, receive-pack ignores push options within the cert, only handling push options outside the cert. Teach receive-pack, in the case that push options are provided for a signed push, to verify that the push options both within the cert and outside the cert are consistent. This sets in stone the requirement that send-pack redundantly send its push options in 2 places, but I think that this is better than the alternatives. Sending push options only within the cert is backwards-incompatible with existing Git servers (which read push options only from outside the cert), and sending push options only outside the cert means that the push options are not signed for.

In commit c714e45 ("receive-pack: implement advertising and receiving push options", 2016-07-14), receive-pack was taught to (among other things) advertise that it understood push options, depending on configuration. It was documented that it advertised such ability by default; however, it actually does not. (In that commit, notice that advertise_push_options defaults to 0, unlike advertise_atomic_push which defaults to 1.) Update the documentation to state that it does not advertise the ability by default. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
