Leaving only the function definitions and declarations so that any
new topic in flight can still make use of the old functions, replace
existing uses of the prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() with new API
functions.
The change can be recreated by mechanically applying this:
$ git grep -l -e prefixcmp -e suffixcmp -- \*.c |
grep -v strbuf\\.c |
xargs perl -pi -e '
s|!prefixcmp\(|starts_with\(|g;
s|prefixcmp\(|!starts_with\(|g;
s|!suffixcmp\(|ends_with\(|g;
s|suffixcmp\(|!ends_with\(|g;
'
on the result of preparatory changes in this series.

If the user specifies a pager of "cat" (or the empty
string), whether it is in the environment or from config, we
automagically optimize it out to mean "no pager" and avoid
forking at all. We treat an empty pager variable similary.
However, we did not apply this optimization when
DEFAULT_PAGER was set to "cat" (or the empty string). There
is no reason to treat DEFAULT_PAGER any differently. The
optimization should not be user-visible (unless the user has
a bizarre "cat" in their PATH). And even if it is, we are
better off behaving consistently between the compile-time
default and the environment and config settings.
The stray "else" we are removing from this code was
introduced by 402461a (pager: do not fork a pager if PAGER
is set to empty., 2006-04-16). At that time, the line
directly above used:
if (!pager)
pager = "less";
as a fallback, meaning that it could not possibly trigger
the optimization. Later, a3d023d (Provide a build time
default-pager setting, 2009-10-30) turned that constant into
a build-time setting which could be anything, but didn't
loosen the "else" to let DEFAULT_PAGER use the optimization.

This is used by diff-no-index.c, part of libgit.a while it stays in
builtin/diff.c. Move it to diff.c so that we won't get undefined
reference if a program that uses libgit.a happens to pull it in.
While at it, move check_pager from git.c to pager.c. It makes more
sense there and pager.c is also part of libgit.a

Commit 35ce862 (pager: Work around window resizing bug in
'less', 2007-01-24) causes git's pager sub-process to wait
to receive input after forking but before exec-ing the
pager. To handle this, run-command had to grow a "pre-exec
callback" feature. Unfortunately, this feature does not work
at all on Windows (where we do not fork), and interacts
poorly with run-command's parent notification system. Its
use should be discouraged.
The bug in less was fixed in version 406, which was released
in June 2007. It is probably safe at this point to remove
our workaround. That lets us rip out the preexec_cb feature
entirely.

git-column can be used as a pager for other git commands, something
like this:
GIT_PAGER="git -p column --mode='dense color'" git -p branch
The problem with this is that "git -p column" also has $GIT_PAGER set so
the pager runs itself again as another pager. The end result is an
infinite loop of forking. Other git commands have the same problem if
being abused this way.
Check if $GIT_PAGER is already set and stop launching another pager.

term_columns() checks for terminal width via ioctl(2) on the standard
output, but we spawn the pager too early for this check to be useful.
The effect of this buglet can be observed by opening a wide terminal and
running "git -p help --all", which still shows 80-column output, while
"git help --all" uses the full terminal width. Run the check before we
spawn the pager to fix this.
While at it, move term_columns() to pager.c and export it from cache.h so
that callers other than the help subsystem can use it.

We have always set a global "spawned_pager" variable when we
start the pager. This lets us make the auto-color decision
later in the program as as "we are outputting to a terminal,
or to a pager which can handle colors".
Commit 6e9af86 added support for the GIT_PAGER_IN_USE
environment variable. An external program calling git (e.g.,
git-svn) could set this variable to indicate that it had
already started the pager, and that the decision about
auto-coloring should take that into account.
However, 6e9af86 failed to do the reverse, which is to tell
external programs when git itself has started the pager.
Thus a git command implemented as an external script that
has the pager turned on (e.g., "git -p stash show") would
not realize it was going to a pager, and would suppress
colors.
This patch remedies that; we always set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE
when we start the pager, and the value is respected by both
this program and any spawned children.

Scripted commands that want to use git’s configured pager know better
than ‘git var’ does whether stdout is going to be a tty at the
appropriate time. Checking isatty(1) as git_pager() does now won’t
cut it, since the output of git var itself is almost never a terminal.
The symptom is that when used by humans, ‘git var GIT_PAGER’ behaves
as it should, but when used by scripts, it always returns ‘cat’!
So avoid tricks with isatty() and just always print the configured
pager.
This does not fix the callers to check isatty(1) themselves yet.
Nevertheless, this patch alone is enough to fix 'am --interactive'.
Thanks to Sebastian Celis for the report and Jeff King for the
analysis.

Provide a DEFAULT_PAGER knob so packagers can set the fallback
pager to something appropriate during the build.
Examples:
On (old) solaris systems, /usr/bin/less (typically the first less
found) doesn't understand the default arguments (FXRS), which
forces users to alter their environment (PATH, GIT_PAGER, LESS,
etc) or have a local or global gitconfig before paging works as
expected.
On Debian systems, by policy packages must fall back to the
'pager' command, so that changing the target of the
/usr/bin/pager symlink changes the default pager for all packages
at once.

Since ea27a18 (spawn pager via run_command interface), the
original git process actually does git work, and the pager
is a child process (actually, on Windows it has always been
that way, since Windows lacks fork). After spawning the
pager, we register an atexit() handler that waits for the
pager to finish.
Unfortunately, that handler does not always run. In
particular, if git is killed by a signal, then we exit
immediately. The calling shell then thinks that git is done;
however, the pager is still trying to run and impact the
terminal. The result can be seen by running a long git
process with a pager (e.g., "git log -p") and hitting ^C.
Depending on your config, you should see the shell prompt,
but pressing a key causes the pager to do any terminal
de-initialization sequence.
This patch just intercepts any death-dealing signals and
waits for the pager before dying. Under typical less
configuration, that means hitting ^C will cause git to stop
generating output, but the pager will keep running.

* maint:
fast-import: close pack before unlinking it
pager: do not dup2 stderr if it is already redirected
git-show: do not segfault when showing a bad tag
|
|
An earlier commit 61b8050 (sending errors to stdout under $PAGER,
2008-02-16) avoided losing the error messages that are sent to the
standard error when $PAGER is in effect by dup2'ing fd 2 to the pager.
his way, showing a tag object that points to a bad object:
$ git show tag-foo
would give the error message to the pager. However, it was not quite
right if the user did:
$ git show 2>error.log tag-foo
i.e. use the pager but store the errors in a separate file.

This has two important effects:
1. The pager is now the _child_ process, instead of the
parent. This means that whatever spawned git (e.g., the
shell) will see the exit code of the git process, and
not the pager.
2. The mingw and regular code are now unified, which makes
the setup_pager function much simpler.
There are two caveats:
1. We used to call execlp directly on the pager, followed
by trying to exec it via the shall. We now just use the
shell (which is what mingw has always done). This may
have different results for pager names which contain
shell metacharacters.
It is also slightly less efficient because we
unnecessarily run the shell; however, pager spawning is
by definition an interactive task, so it shouldn't be
a huge problem.
2. The git process will remain in memory while the user
looks through the pager. This is potentially wasteful.
We could get around this by turning the parent into a
meta-process which spawns _both_ git and the pager,
collects the exit status from git, waits for both to
end, and then exits with git's exit code.

If you do this (and you are not an Emacs user who uses PAGER=cat
in your *shell* buffer):
$ git init

$ echo hello world >foo
$ H=$(git hash-object -w foo)
$ git tag -a foo-tag -m "Tags $H" $H
$ echo $H

Tags 3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad
you do not get any indication of error. If you are careful, you
would notice that no contents from the tagged object is
displayed, but that is about it. If you run the "show" command
without pager, however, you will see the error:
$ git --no-pager show foo-tag
tag foo-tag

error: Could not read object 3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad
Because we spawn the pager as the foreground process and feed
its input via pipe from the real command, we cannot affect the
exit status the shell sees from git command when the pager is in
use (I think there is not much gain we can have by working it
around, though). But at least it may make sense to show the
error message to the user sitting in front of the pager.
[jc: Edgar Toernig suggested a much nicer implementation than
what I originally posted, which I took.]

When deciding whether or not to turn on automatic color
support, git_config_colorbool checks whether stdout is a
tty. However, because we run a pager, if stdout is not a
tty, we must check whether it is because we started the
pager. This used to be done by checking the pager_in_use
variable.
This variable was set only when the git program being run
started the pager; there was no way for an external program
running git indicate that it had already started a pager.
This patch allows a program to set GIT_PAGER_IN_USE to a
true value to indicate that even though stdout is not a tty,
it is because a pager is being used.

It was very unfortunate that we added core.pager setting to the
configuration file; even when the underlying command does not care
if there is no git repository is involved (think "git diff --no-index"),
the user would now rightfully want the configuration setting to be
honored, which means we would need to read the configuration file before
we launch the pager.
This is a minimum change in the sense that it restores the old
behaviour of not even reading config in setup_git_directory(),
but have the core.pager honored when we know it matters.
Note that this does not cover "git -p --git-dir where command";
the -p option immediately trigger the pager settings before we
even see --git-dir to learn where the configuration file is, so
we will end up reading the configuration from the place where
we would _normally_ find the git repository.

If you resize the terminal while less is waiting for input, less
will exit entirely without even showing the output. This is very
noticeable if you do something like "git diff" on a big and
cold-cache tree and git takes a few seconds to think, and then
you resize the window while it's preparing. Boom. No output AT
ALL.
The way to reproduce the problem is to do some pager operation
that takes a while in git, and resizing the window while git is
thinking about the output. Try
git diff --stat v2.6.12..
in the kernel tree to do something where it takes a while for git to start
outputting information.
