"git apply -p0" did not parse pathnames on "diff --git" line correctly. This caused patches that had pathnames in no other places to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that does not rename nor change mode). Textual patches, renames or mode changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different places in a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer from this problem. * jc/apply-binary-p0: apply: compute patch->def_name correctly under -p0

2012-08-28log: fix --quiet synonym for -sLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Originally the "--quiet" option was parsed by the diff-option parser into the internal QUICK option. This had the effect of silencing diff output from the log (which was not intended, but happened to work and people started to use it). But it also had other odd side effects at the diff level (for example, it would suppress the second commit in "git show A B"). To fix this, commit 1c40c36 converted log to parse-options and handled the "quiet" option separately, not passing it on to the diff code. However, it simply ignored the option, which was a regression for people using it as a synonym for "-s". Commit 01771a8 then fixed that by interpreting the option to add DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT to the list of output formats. However, that commit did not fix it in all cases. It sets the flag after setup_revisions is called. Naively, this makes sense because you would expect the setup_revisions parser to overwrite our output format flag if "-p" or another output format flag is seen. However, that is not how the NO_OUTPUT flag works. We actually store it in the bit-field as just another format. At the end of setup_revisions, we call diff_setup_done, which post-processes the bitfield and clears any other formats if we have set NO_OUTPUT. By setting the flag after setup_revisions is done, diff_setup_done does not have a chance to make this tweak, and we end up with other format options still set. As a result, the flag would have no effect in "git log -p --quiet" or "git show --quiet". Fix it by setting the format flag before the call to setup_revisions.

2012-08-24apply: compute patch->def_name correctly under -p0Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-25/+43
Back when "git apply" was written, we made sure that the user can skip more than the default number of path components (i.e. 1) by giving "-p<n>", but the logic for doing so was built around the notion of "we skip N slashes and stop". This obviously does not work well when running under -p0 where we do not want to skip any, but still want to skip SP/HT that separates the pathnames of preimage and postimage and want to reject absolute pathnames. Stop using "stop_at_slash()", and instead introduce a new helper "skip_tree_prefix()" with similar logic but works correctly even for the -p0 case. This is an ancient bug, but has been masked for a long time because most of the patches are text and have other clues to tell us the name of the preimage and the postimage. Noticed by Colin McCabe.

Either end of revision range operator can be omitted to default to HEAD, as in "origin.." (what did I do since I forked) or "..origin" (what did they do since I forked). But the current parser interprets ".." as an empty range "HEAD..HEAD", and worse yet, because ".." does exist on the filesystem, we get this annoying output: $ cd Documentation/howto $ git log .. ;# give me recent commits that touch Documentation/ area. fatal: ambiguous argument '..': both revision and filename Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions Surely we could say "git log ../" or even "git log -- .." to disambiguate, but we shouldn't have to.

2012-08-03diff_setup_done(): return voidLibravatar Thomas Rast4-12/+6
diff_setup_done() has historically returned an error code, but lost the last nonzero return in 943d5b7 (allow diff.renamelimit to be set regardless of -M/-C, 2006-08-09). The callers were in a pretty confused state: some actually checked for the return code, and some did not. Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account. This conveniently also gets rid of a handful of different(!) error messages that could never be triggered anyway. Note that the function can still die().

2012-07-29diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel valueLibravatar Jeff King3-7/+12
The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when the index is not up-to-date). The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1 directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel value to indicate that it is not. We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree). However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree version of a file instead of treating it as a blob. This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this means passing the flag through several layers, making the code change larger than would be desirable. One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a "--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

2012-07-25checkout: don't confuse ref and object flagsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When we are leaving a detached HEAD, we do a revision traversal to check whether we are orphaning any commits, marking the commit we're leaving as the start of the traversal, and all existing refs as uninteresting. Prior to commit 468224e5, we did so by calling for_each_ref, and feeding each resulting refname to setup_revisions. Commit 468224e5 refactored this to simply mark the pending objects, saving an extra lookup. However, it confused the "flags" parameter to the each_ref_fn clalback, which is about the flags we found while looking up the ref with the object flag. Because REF_ISSYMREF ("this ref is a symbolic ref, e.g. refs/remotes/origin/HEAD") happens to be the same bit pattern as SEEN ("we have picked this object up from the pending list and moved it to revs.commits list"), we incorrectly reported that a commit previously at the detached HEAD will become unreachable if the only ref that can reach the commit happens to be pointed at by a symbolic ref.

2012-07-23commit: check committer identity more strictlyLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The identity of the committer will ultimately be pulled from the ident code by commit_tree(). However, we make an attempt to check the author and committer identity early, before the user has done any manual work like inputting a commit message. That lets us abort without them having to worry about salvaging the work from .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG. The early check for committer ident does not use the IDENT_STRICT flag, meaning that it would not find an empty name field. The motivation was presumably because we did not want to be too restrictive, as later calls might be more lax (for example, when we create the reflog entry, we do not care too much about a real name). However, because commit_tree will always get a strict identity to put in the commit object itself, there is no point in being lax only to die later (and in fact it is harmful, because the user will have wasted time typing their commit message). Incidentally, this bug was masked prior to 060d4bb, as the initial loose call would taint the later strict call. So the commit would succeed (albeit with a bogus committer line in the commit object), and nobody noticed that our early check did not match the later one.

A path containing a space must be quoted when used as an argument to either the copy or rename commands (because unlike other commands, the path is not the final thing on the line for those commands). Commit 6280dfdc3b (fast-export: quote paths in output, 2011-08-05) previously attempted to fix fast-export's quoting by passing all paths through quote_c_style(). However, that function does not consider the space to be a character which requires quoting, so let's special-case the space inside print_path(). This will cause space-containing paths to also be quoted in other commands where such quoting is not strictly necessary, but it does not hurt to do so. The test from 6280dfdc3b did not detect this because, while it does introduce renames in the export stream, it does not actually turn on rename detection, so they were presented as pairs of deletions/adds.
