Move most of the code of absolute_path() into the new function strbuf_add_absolute_path() and in the process transform it to use struct strbuf and xgetcwd() instead of a PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which can be too small on some file systems.

2014-08-20run-command: introduce CHILD_PROCESS_INITLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+2
Most struct child_process variables are cleared using memset first after declaration. Provide a macro, CHILD_PROCESS_INIT, that can be used to initialize them statically instead. That's shorter, doesn't require a function call and is slightly more readable (especially given that we already have STRBUF_INIT, ARGV_ARRAY_INIT etc.).

2014-08-18diff --stat: mark any file larger than core.bigfilethreshold binaryLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy2-3/+4
Too large files may lead to failure to allocate memory. If it happens here, it could impact quite a few commands that involve diff. Moreover, too large files are inefficient to compare anyway (and most likely non-text), so mark them binary and skip looking at their content. Noticed-by: Dale R.

2014-08-12Documentation/git-rebase.txt: -f forces a rebase that would otherwise be a no-opLibravatar Sergey Organov1-5/+2
"Current branch is a descendant of the commit you are rebasing onto" does not necessarily mean "rebase" requires "--force". For a plain vanilla "history flattening" rebase, the rebase can be done without forcing if there is a merge between the tip of the branch being rebased and the commit you are rebasing onto, even if the tip is descendant of the other.

2014-08-07config: add `git_die_config()` to the config-set APILibravatar Tanay Abhra1-0/+13
Add `git_die_config` that dies printing the line number and the file name of the highest priority value for the configuration variable `key`. A custom error message is also printed before dying, specified by the caller, which can be skipped if `err` argument is set to NULL. It has usage in non-callback based config value retrieval where we can raise an error and die if there is a semantic error. For example, if (!git_config_get_value(key, &value)){ if (!strcmp(value, "foo")) git_config_die(key, "value: `%s` is illegal", value); else /* do work */ } Signed-off-by: Tanay Abhra <tanayabh@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

It wouldn't make sense for these configuration variables to be required for Git in general to function. 'Required' in this context means required for git imap-send to work.

2014-08-05config: teach "git -c" to recognize an empty stringLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
In a config file, you can do: [foo] bar to turn the "foo.bar" boolean flag on, and you can do: [foo] bar= to set "foo.bar" to the empty string. However, git's "-c" parameter treats both: git -c foo.bar and git -c foo.bar= as the boolean flag, and there is no way to set a variable to the empty string. This patch enables the latter form to do that. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-07-29add `config_set` API for caching config-like filesLibravatar Tanay Abhra1-0/+142
Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves. Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`, `~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value` and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets. `git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`). `git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar. Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide ~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set` is populated using `git_config()`. Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and `git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from `the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

2014-07-28strbuf: add strbuf_getcwd()Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+4
Add strbuf_getcwd(), which puts the current working directory into a strbuf. Because it doesn't use a fixed-size buffer it supports arbitrarily long paths, provided the platform's getcwd() does as well. At least on Linux and FreeBSD it handles paths longer than PATH_MAX just fine.
