If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we
implicitly assume that the current working directory should
be used as the working tree. E.g.,:
GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status
would compare against the cwd.
Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git
by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails, as we expect
git config alias.st status
git status ;# does not fail, but should
What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing
alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR
as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we
do not have one). Then when we actually run the status
command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our
explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree.
It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that
second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use
the values we already found in memory. However, the problem
still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were
an external command).
You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which
sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example:
git init foo
cd foo/.git
git status ;# fails
git --bare status ;# does NOT fail
We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though
GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree".
We could do it by putting a special token into
GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has
some portability problems.
Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE,
which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when
GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we
are in a bare setting.
The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is
an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up
with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident
we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting
it further.

The GIT_PREFIX variable is set based on our location within
the working tree. It should therefore be cleared whenever
GIT_WORK_TREE is cleared.
In practice, this doesn't cause any bugs, because none of
the sub-programs we invoke with local_repo_env cleared
actually care about GIT_PREFIX. But this is the right thing
to do, and future proofs us against that assumption changing.
While we're at it, let's define a GIT_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT
macro; this avoids repetition of the string literal, which
can help catch any spelling mistakes in the code.

We keep a static array of variables that should be cleared
when invoking a sub-process on another repo. We statically
size the array with the LOCAL_REPO_ENV_SIZE macro so that
any readers do not have to count it themselves.
As it turns out, no readers actually use the macro, and it
creates a maintenance headache, as modifications to the
array need to happen in two places (one to add the new
element, and another to bump the size).
Since it's NULL-terminated, we can just drop the size macro
entirely. While we're at it, we'll clean up some comments
around it, and add a new mention of it at the top of the
list of environment variable macros. Even though
local_repo_env is right below that list, it's easy to miss,
and additions to that list should consider local_repo_env.

With core.ignorecase=true, name-hash.c builds a case insensitive index of
all tracked directories. Currently, the existing cache entry structures are
added multiple times to the same hashtable (with different name lengths and
hash codes). However, there's only one dir_next pointer, which gets
completely messed up in case of hash collisions. In the worst case, this
causes an endless loop if ce == ce->dir_next (see t7062).
Use a separate hashtable and separate structures for the directory index
so that each directory entry has its own next pointer. Use reference
counting to track which directory entry contains files.
There are only slight changes to the name-hash.c API:
- new free_name_hash() used by read_cache.c::discard_index()
- remove_name_hash() takes an additional index_state parameter
- index_name_exists() for a directory (trailing '/') may return a cache
entry that has been removed (CE_UNHASHED). This is not a problem as the
return value is only used to check if the directory exists (dir.c) or to
normalize casing of directory names (read-cache.c).
Getting rid of cache_entry.dir_next reduces memory consumption, especially
with core.ignorecase=false (which doesn't use that member at all).
With core.ignorecase=true, building the directory index is slightly faster
as we add / check the parent directory first (instead of going through all
directory levels for each file in the index). E.g. with WebKit (~200k
files, ~7k dirs), time spent in lazy_init_name_hash is reduced from 176ms
to 130ms.

When we push to update an existing ref, if:
* the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
* the object we are pushing is not a commit,
it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.
If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.
In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.
Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

The "nonfastforward" and "update" fields are only used while
deciding what value to assign to the "status" locally in a single
function. Remove them from the "struct ref".
The "requires_force" field is not used to decide if the proposed
update requires a --force option to succeed, or to record such a
decision made elsewhere. It is used by status reporting code that
the particular update was "forced". Rename it to "forced_update",
and move the code to assign to it around to further clarify how it
is used and what it is used for.

The config callback functions get keys of the general form:
section.subsection.key
(where the subsection may be contain arbitrary data, or may
be missing). For matching keys without subsections, it is
simple enough to call "strcmp". Matching keys with
subsections is a little more complicated, and each callback
does it in an ad-hoc way, usually involving error-prone
pointer arithmetic.
Let's provide a helper that keeps the pointer arithmetic all
in one place.

Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also
somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms
the resolution of the timestamps may differ.
Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may
be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.
This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the
the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size
and the whole second part of mtime (minimal).

When pushing to update a branch with a commit that is not a
descendant of the commit at the tip, a wrong message "already
exists" was given, instead of the correct "non-fast-forward", if we
do not have the object sitting in the destination repository at the
tip of the ref we are updating.
The primary cause of the bug is that the check in a new helper
function is_forwardable() assumed both old and new objects are
available and can be checked, which is not always the case.
The way the caller uses the result of this function is also wrong.
If the helper says "we do not want to let this push go through", the
caller unconditionally translates it into "we blocked it because the
destination already exists", which is not true at all in this case.
Fix this by doing these three things:
* Remove unnecessary not_forwardable from "struct ref"; it is only
used inside set_ref_status_for_push();
* Make "refs/tags/" the only hierarchy that cannot be replaced
without --force;
* Remove the misguided attempt to force that everything that
updates an existing ref has to be a commit outside "refs/tags/"
hierarchy.
The policy last one tried to implement may later be resurrected and
extended to ensure fast-forwardness (defined as "not losing
objects", extending from the traditional "not losing commits from
the resulting history") when objects that are not commit are
involved (e.g. an annotated tag in hierarchies outside refs/tags),
but such a logic belongs to "is this a fast-forward?" check that is
done by ref_newer(); is_forwardable(), which is now removed, was not
the right place to do so.

Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message. Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.
The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users. They have a choice between
- Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and
- Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.
Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.
$ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit
so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

Commit a469a10 wraps some error calls in macros to give the
compiler a chance to do more static analysis on their
constant -1 return value. We limit the use of these macros
to __GNUC__, since gcc is the primary beneficiary of the new
information, and because we use GNU features for handling
variadic macros.
However, clang also defines __GNUC__, but generates warnings
with -Wunused-value when these macros are used in a void
context, because the constant "-1" ends up being useless.
Gcc does not complain about this case (though it is unclear
if it is because it is smart enough to see what we are
doing, or too dumb to realize that the -1 is unused). We
can squelch the warning by just disabling these macros when
clang is in use.

Git takes pathspec arguments in many places to limit the
scope of an operation. These pathspecs are treated not as
literal paths, but as glob patterns that can be fed to
fnmatch. When a user is giving a specific pattern, this is a
nice feature.
However, when programatically providing pathspecs, it can be
a nuisance. For example, to find the latest revision which
modified "$foo", one can use "git rev-list -- $foo". But if
"$foo" contains glob characters (e.g., "f*"), it will
erroneously match more entries than desired. The caller
needs to quote the characters in $foo, and even then, the
results may not be exactly the same as with a literal
pathspec. For instance, the depth checks in
match_pathspec_depth do not kick in if we match via fnmatch.
This patch introduces a global command-line option (i.e.,
one for "git" itself, not for specific commands) to turn
this behavior off. It also has a matching environment
variable, which can make it easier if you are a script or
porcelain interface that is going to issue many such
commands.
This option cannot turn off globbing for particular
pathspecs. That could eventually be done with a ":(noglob)"
magic pathspec prefix. However, that level of granularity is
more cumbersome to use for many cases, and doing ":(noglob)"
right would mean converting the whole codebase to use
"struct pathspec", as the usual "const char **pathspec"
cannot represent extra per-item flags.

There are a few error functions that simply wrap error() and
provide a standardized message text. Like error(), they
always return -1; knowing that can help the compiler silence
some false positive -Wuninitialized warnings.
One strategy would be to just declare these as inline in the
header file so that the compiler can see that they always
return -1. However, gcc does not always inline them (e.g.,
it will not inline opterror, even with -O3), which renders
our change pointless.
Instead, let's follow the same route we did with error() in
the last patch, and define a macro that makes the constant
return value obvious to the compiler.

When a pattern contains only a single asterisk as wildcard,

remainder of the string.

We keep track of whether the user ident was given to us
explicitly, or if we guessed at it from system parameters
like username and hostname. However, we kept only a single
variable. This covers the common cases (because the author
and committer will usually come from the same explicit
source), but can miss two cases:
1. GIT_COMMITTER_* is set explicitly, but we fallback for
GIT_AUTHOR. We claim the ident is explicit, even though
the author is not.
2. GIT_AUTHOR_* is set and we ask for author ident, but
not committer ident. We will claim the ident is
implicit, even though it is explicit.
This patch uses two variables instead of one, updates both
when we set the "fallback" values, and updates them
individually when we read from the environment.
Rather than keep user_ident_sufficiently_given as a
compatibility wrapper, we update the only two callers to
check the committer_ident, which matches their intent and
what was happening already.

We already take care to parse key/value capabilities like
"foo=bar", but the code does not provide a good way of
actually finding out what is on the right-hand side of the
"=".
A server using "parse_feature_request" could accomplish this
with some extra parsing. You must skip past the "key"
portion manually, check for "=" versus NUL or space, and
then find the length by searching for the next space (or
NUL). But clients can't even do that, since the
"server_supports" interface does not even return the
pointer.
Instead, let's have our parser share more information by
providing a pointer to the value and its length. The
"parse_feature_value" function returns a pointer to the
feature's value portion, along with the length of the value.
If the feature is missing, NULL is returned. If it does not
have an "=", then a zero-length value is returned.
Similarly, "server_feature_value" behaves in the same way,
but always checks the static server_feature_list variable.
We can then implement "server_supports" in terms of
"server_feature_value". We cannot implement the original
"parse_feature_request" in terms of our new function,
because it returned a pointer to the beginning of the
feature. However, no callers actually cared about the value
of the returned pointer, so we can simplify it to a boolean
just as we do for "server_supports".

We instead failed with an undocumented exit status 255.
Also define a "catch-all" status and document it.
