2021-12-04scalar: implement the `version` commandLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+39
The .NET version of Scalar has a `version` command. This was necessary because it was versioned independently of Git. Since Scalar is now tightly coupled with Git, it does not make sense for them to show different versions. Therefore, it shows the same output as `git version`. For backwards-compatibility with the .NET version, `scalar version` prints to `stderr`, though (`git version` prints to `stdout` instead).

2021-12-04scalar: implement the `delete` commandLibravatar Matthew John Cheetham3-0/+80
Delete an enlistment by first unregistering the repository and then deleting the enlistment directory (usually the directory containing the worktree `src/` directory). On Windows, if the current directory is inside the enlistment's directory, change to the parent of the enlistment directory, to allow us to delete the enlistment (directories used by processes e.g. as current working directories cannot be deleted on Windows).

2021-12-04scalar: implement the `run` commandLibravatar Derrick Stolee2-0/+83
Note: this subcommand is provided primarily for backwards-compatibility, for existing Scalar uses. It is mostly just a shim for `git maintenance`, mapping task names from the way Scalar called them to the way Git calls them. The reason why those names differ? The background maintenance was first implemented in Scalar, and when it was contributed as a patch series implementing the `git maintenance` command, reviewers suggested better names, those suggestions were accepted before the patches were integrated into core Git.

2021-12-04scalar: implement the `clone` subcommandLibravatar Johannes Schindelin3-3/+262
This implements Scalar's opinionated `clone` command: it tries to use a partial clone and sets up a sparse checkout by default. In contrast to `git clone`, `scalar clone` sets up the worktree in the `src/` subdirectory, to encourage a separation between the source files and the build output (which helps Git tremendously because it avoids untracked files that have to be specifically ignored when refreshing the index). Also, it registers the repository for regular, scheduled maintenance, and configures a flurry of configuration settings based on the experience and experiments of the Microsoft Windows and the Microsoft Office development teams. Note: since the `scalar clone` command is by far the most commonly called `scalar` subcommand, we document it at the top of the manual page.

2021-12-04scalar: 'unregister' stops background maintenanceLibravatar Derrick Stolee2-8/+50
Just like `scalar register` starts the scheduled background maintenance, `scalar unregister` stops it. Note that we use `git maintenance start` in `scalar register`, but we do not use `git maintenance stop` in `scalar unregister`: this would stop maintenance for _all_ repositories, not just for the one we want to unregister. The `unregister` command also removes the corresponding entry from the `[scalar]` section in the global Git config.

2021-12-04scalar: 'register' sets recommended config and starts maintenanceLibravatar Derrick Stolee2-1/+266
Let's start implementing the `register` command. With this commit, recommended settings are configured upon `scalar register`, and Git's background maintenance is started. The recommended config settings may very well change in the future. For example, once the built-in FSMonitor is available, we will want to enable it upon `scalar register`. For that reason, we explicitly support running `scalar register` in an already-registered enlistment.

2021-12-04scalar: create test infrastructureLibravatar Johannes Schindelin3-3/+109
To test the Scalar command, create a test script in contrib/scalar/t that is executed as `make -C contrib/scalar test`. Since Scalar has no meaningful capabilities yet, the only test is rather simple. We will add more tests in subsequent commits that introduce corresponding, new functionality. Note: This test script is intended to test `scalar` only lightly, even after all of the functionality is implemented. A more comprehensive functional (or: integration) test suite can be found at https://github.com/microsoft/scalar; It is used in the workflow https://github.com/microsoft/git/blob/HEAD/.github/workflows/scalar-functional-tests.yml in Microsoft's Git fork. This test suite performs end-to-end tests with a real remote repository, and is run as part of the regular CI and PR builds in that fork. Since those tests require some functionality supported only by Microsoft's Git fork ("GVFS protocol"), there is no intention to port that fuller test suite to `contrib/scalar/`.

2021-12-04scalar: create a rudimentary executableLibravatar Johannes Schindelin3-0/+72
The idea of Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar), and before that, of VFS for Git, has always been to prove that Git _can_ scale, and to upstream whatever strategies have been demonstrated to help. With this patch, we start the journey from that C# project to move what is left to Git's own `contrib/` directory, reimplementing it in pure C, with the intention to facilitate integrating the functionality into core Git all while maintaining backwards-compatibility for existing Scalar users (which will be much easier when both live in the same worktree). It has always been the plan to contribute all of the proven strategies back to core Git. For example, while the virtual filesystem provided by VFS for Git helped the team developing the Windows operating system to move onto Git, while trying to upstream it we realized that it cannot be done: getting the virtual filesystem to work (which we only managed to implement fully on Windows, but not on, say, macOS or Linux), and the required server-side support for the GVFS protocol, made this not quite feasible. The Scalar project learned from that and tackled the problem with different tactics: instead of pretending to Git that the working directory is fully populated, it _specifically_ teaches Git about partial clone (which is based on VFS for Git's cache server), about sparse checkout (which VFS for Git tried to do transparently, in the file system layer), and regularly runs maintenance tasks to keep the repository in a healthy state. With partial clone, sparse checkout and `git maintenance` having been upstreamed, there is little left that `scalar.exe` does which `git.exe` cannot do. One such thing is that `scalar clone <url>` will automatically set up a partial, sparse clone, and configure known-helpful settings from the start. So let's bring this convenience into Git's tree. The idea here is that you can (optionally) build Scalar via make -C contrib/scalar/ This will build the `scalar` executable and put it into the contrib/scalar/ subdirectory. The slightly awkward addition of the `contrib/scalar/*` bits to the top-level `Makefile` are actually really required: we want to link to `libgit.a`, which means that we will need to use the very same `CFLAGS` and `LDFLAGS` as the rest of Git. An early development version of this patch tried to replicate all the conditional code in `contrib/scalar/Makefile` (e.g. `NO_POLL`) just like `contrib/svn-fe/Makefile` used to do before it was retired. It turned out to be quite the whack-a-mole game: the SHA-1-related flags, the flags enabling/disabling `compat/poll/`, `compat/regex/`, `compat/win32mmap.c` & friends depending on the current platform... To put it mildly: it was a major mess. Instead, this patch makes minimal changes to the top-level `Makefile` so that the bits in `contrib/scalar/` can be compiled and linked, and adds a `contrib/scalar/Makefile` that uses the top-level `Makefile` in a most minimal way to do the actual compiling. Note: With this commit, we only establish the infrastructure, no Scalar functionality is implemented yet; We will do that incrementally over the next few commits.

2021-12-01git-compat-util: add a test balloon for C99 supportLibravatar brian m. carlson1-1/+1
The C99 standard was released in January 1999, now 22 years ago. It provides a variety of useful features, including variadic arguments for macros, declarations after statements, designated initializers, and a wide variety of other useful features, many of which we already use. We'd like to take advantage of these features, but we want to be cautious. As far as we know, all major compilers now support C99 or a later C standard, such as C11 or C17. POSIX has required C99 support as a requirement for the 2001 revision, so we can safely assume any POSIX system which we are interested in supporting has C99. Even MSVC, long a holdout against modern C, now supports both C11 and C17 with an appropriate update. Moreover, even if people are using an older version of MSVC on these systems, they will generally need some implementation of the standard Unix utilities for the testsuite, and GNU coreutils, the most common option, has required C99 since 2009. Therefore, we can safely assume that a suitable version of GCC or clang is available to users even if their version of MSVC is not sufficiently capable. Let's add a test balloon to git-compat-util.h to see if anyone is using an older compiler. We'll add a comment telling people how to enable this functionality on GCC and Clang, even though modern versions of both will automatically do the right thing, and ask people still experiencing a problem to report that to us on the list. Note that C89 compilers don't provide the __STDC_VERSION__ macro, so we use a well-known hack of using "- 0". On compilers with this macro, it doesn't change the value, and on C89 compilers, the macro will be replaced with nothing, and our value will be 0. For sparse, we explicitly request the gnu99 style because we've traditionally taken advantage of some GCC- and clang-specific extensions when available and we'd like to retain the ability to do that. sparse also defaults to C89 without it, so things will fail for us if we don't. Update the cmake configuration to require C11 for MSVC. We do this because this will make MSVC to use C11, since it does not explicitly support C99. We do this with a compiler options because setting the C_STANDARD option does not work in our CI on MSVC and at the moment, we don't want to require C11 for Unix compilers. In the Makefile, don't set any compiler flags for the compiler itself, since on some systems, such as FreeBSD, we actually need C11, and asking for C99 causes things to fail to compile. The error message should make it obvious what's going wrong and allow a user to set the appropriate option when building in the event they're using a Unix compiler that doesn't support it by default.

2021-12-01xdiff: implement a zealous diff3, or "zdiff3"Libravatar Phillip Wood1-3/+3
"zdiff3" is identical to ordinary diff3 except that it allows compaction of common lines on the two sides of history at the beginning or end of the conflict hunk. For example, the following diff3 conflict: 1 2 3 4 <<<<<< A B C D E |||||| 5 6 ====== A X C Y E >>>>>> 7 8 9 has common lines 'A', 'C', and 'E' on the two sides. With zdiff3, one would instead get the following conflict: 1 2 3 4 A <<<<<< B C D |||||| 5 6 ====== X C Y >>>>>> E 7 8 9 Note that the common lines, 'A', and 'E' were moved outside the conflict. Unlike with the two-way conflicts from the 'merge' conflictStyle, the zdiff3 conflict is NOT split into multiple conflict regions to allow the common 'C' lines to be shown outside a conflict, because zdiff3 shows the base version too and the base version cannot be reasonably split. Note also that the removing of lines common to the two sides might make the remaining text inside the conflict region match the base text inside the conflict region (for example, if the diff3 conflict had '5 6 E' on the right side of the conflict, then the common line 'E' would be moved outside and both the base and right side's remaining conflict text would be the lines '5' and '6'). This has the potential to surprise users and make them think there should not have been a conflict, but there definitely was a conflict and it should remain.

2021-10-28completion: fix incorrect bash/zsh string equality checkLibravatar Robert Estelle1-1/+1
In the basic `[`/`test` command, the string equality operator is a single `=`. The `==` operator is only available in `[[`, which is a bash-ism also supported by zsh. This mix-up was causing the following completion error in zsh: > __git_ls_files_helper:7: = not found (That message refers to the extraneous symbol in `==` ← `=`). This updates that comparison to use a single `=` inside the basic `[ … ]` test conditional. Although this fix is inconsistent with the other comparisons in this file, which use `[[ … == … ]]`, and the two expressions are functionally identical in this context, that approach was rejected due to a preference for `[`.

Remove the sane_grep() shell function in git-sh-setup. The two reasons for why it existed don't apply anymore: 1. It was added due to GNU grep supporting GREP_OPTIONS. See e1622bfcbad (Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity, 2009-11-23). Newer versions of GNU grep ignore that, but even on older versions its existence won't matter, none of these sane_grep() uses care about grep's output, they're merely using it to check if a string exists in a file or stream. We also don't care about the "LC_ALL=C" that "sane_grep" was using, these greps for fixed or ASCII strings will behave the same under any locale. 2. The SANE_TEXT_GREP added in 71b401032b9 (sane_grep: pass "-a" if grep accepts it, 2016-03-08) isn't needed either, none of these grep uses deal with binary data.

2021-09-27Comment important codepaths regarding nuking untracked files/dirsLibravatar Elijah Newren1-1/+1
In the last few commits we focused on code in unpack-trees.c that mistakenly removed untracked files or directories. There may be more of those, but in this commit we change our focus: callers of toplevel commands that are expected to remove untracked files or directories. As noted previously, we have toplevel commands that are expected to delete untracked files such as 'read-tree --reset', 'reset --hard', and 'checkout --force'. However, that does not mean that other highlevel commands that happen to call these other commands thought about or conveyed to users the possibility that untracked files could be removed. Audit the code for such callsites, and add comments near existing callsites to mention whether these are safe or not. My auditing is somewhat incomplete, though; it skipped several cases: * git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh: is in the process of being deprecated/removed, so I won't leave a note that there are likely more bugs in that script. * contrib/git-new-workdir: why is the -f flag being used in a new empty directory?? It shouldn't hurt, but it seems useless. * git-p4.py: Don't see why -f is needed for a new dir (maybe it's not and is just superfluous), but I'm not at all familiar with the p4 stuff * git-archimport.perl: Don't care; arch is long since dead * git-cvs*.perl: Don't care; cvs is long since dead Also, the reset --hard in builtin/worktree.c looks safe, due to only running in an empty directory.

2021-09-27hook-list.h: add a generated list of hooks, like config-list.hLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+7
Make githooks(5) the source of truth for what hooks git supports, and punt out early on hooks we don't know about in find_hook(). This ensures that the documentation and the C code's idea about existing hooks doesn't diverge. We still have Perl and Python code running its own hooks, but that'll be addressed by Emily Shaffer's upcoming "git hook run" command. This resolves a long-standing TODO item in bugreport.c of there being no centralized listing of hooks, and fixes a bug with the bugreport listing only knowing about 1/4 of the p4 hooks. It didn't know about the recent "reference-transaction" hook either. We could make the find_hook() function die() or BUG() out if the new known_hook() returned 0, but let's make it return NULL just as it does when it can't find a hook of a known type. Making it die() is overly anal, and unlikely to be what we need in catching stupid typos in the name of some new hook hardcoded in git.git's sources. By making this be tolerant of unknown hook names, changes in a later series to make "git hook run" run arbitrary user-configured hook names will be easier to implement. I have not been able to directly test the CMake change being made here. Since 4c2c38e800 (ci: modification of main.yml to use cmake for vs-build job, 2020-06-26) some of the Windows CI has a hard dependency on CMake, this change works there, and is to my eyes an obviously correct use of a pattern established in previous CMake changes, namely: - 061c2240b1 (Introduce CMake support for configuring Git, 2020-06-12) - 709df95b78 (help: move list_config_help to builtin/help, 2020-04-16) - 976aaedca0 (msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, 2019-07-29) The LC_ALL=C is needed because at least in my locale the dash ("-") is ignored for the purposes of sorting, which results in a different order. I'm not aware of anything in git that has a hard dependency on the order, but e.g. the bugreport output would end up using whatever locale was in effect when git was compiled.

2021-09-23help / completion: make "git help" do the hard workLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-11/+10
The "help" builtin has been able to emit configuration variables since e17ca926371 (completion: drop the hard coded list of config vars, 2018-05-26), but it hasn't produced exactly the format the completion script wanted. Let's do that. We got partway there in 2675ea1cc0f (completion: use 'sort -u' to deduplicate config variable names, 2019-08-13) and d9438873c4d (completion: deduplicate configuration sections, 2019-08-13), but after both we still needed some sorting, de-duplicating and awk post-processing of the list. We can instead simply do the relevant parsing ourselves (we were doing most of it already), and call string_list_remove_duplicates() after already sorting the list, so the caller doesn't need to invoke "sort -u". The "--config-for-completion" output is the same as before after being passed through "sort -u". Then add a new "--config-sections-for-completion" option. Under that output we'll emit config sections like "alias" (instead of "alias." in the --config-for-completion output). We need to be careful to leave the "--config-for-completion" option compatible with users git, but are still running a shell with an older git-completion.bash. If we e.g. changed the option name they'd see messages about git-completion.bash being unable to find the "--config-for-completion" option. Such backwards compatibility isn't something we should bend over backwards for, it's only helping users who: * Upgrade git * Are in an old shell * The git-completion.bash in that shell hasn't cached the old "--config-for-completion" output already. But since it's easy in this case to retain compatibility, let's do it, the older versions of git-completion.bash won't care that the input they get doesn't change after a "sort -u". While we're at it let's make "--config-for-completion" die if there's anything left over in "argc", and do the same in the new "--config-sections-for-completion" option.

In preparation for `git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh` entering its after life, we remove this (deprecated) option that would still rely on it. To help users transition who still did not receive the memo about the deprecation, we offer a helpful error message instead of throwing our hands in the air and saying that we don't know that option, never heard of it.
