The smudge/clean filter API expect an external process is spawned
to filter the contents for each path that has a filter defined. A

Tests run with --valgrind call git commands through a wrapper script
that invokes valgrind on them. This script (valgrind.sh) is in turn
invoked through symlinks created for each command in t/valgrind/bin/.
Since e6e7530d (test helpers: move test-* to t/helper/ subdirectory)
these symlinks have been broken for test helpers -- they point to the
old locations in the root of the build directory. Fix that by teaching
the code for creating the links about the new location of the binaries,
and do the same in the wrapper script to allow it to find its payload.

When new paths were added by "git add -N" to the index, it was

An empty string used as a pathspec element has always meant
'everything matches', but it is too easy to write a script that
finds a path to remove in $path and run 'git rm "$paht"', which
ends up removing everything. Start warning about this use of an
empty string used for 'everything matches' and ask users to use a
more explicit '.' for that instead.
The hope is that existing users will not mind this change, and
eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error, upgrading
the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature.

Instead of referencing "stash@{n}" explicitly, make it possible to
simply reference as "n". Most users only reference stashes by their
position in the stash stack (what I refer to as the "index" here).
The syntax for the typical stash (stash@{n}) is slightly annoying and
easy to forget, and sometimes difficult to escape properly in a
script. Because of this the capability to do things with the stash by
simply referencing the index is desirable.
This patch includes the superior implementation provided by Øsse Walle
(thanks for that), with a slight change to fix a broken test in the test
suite. I also merged the test scripts as suggested by Jeff King, and
un-wrapped the documentation as suggested by Junio Hamano.

When an MSYS program (such as the bash that drives the test suite)
invokes git on Windows, absolute Unix style paths are transformed into
Windows native absolute paths (drive letter form). However, this
transformation also includes some simplifications that are not just
straight-forward textual substitutions:
- When the path ends in "/.", then the dot is stripped, but not the
directory separator.
- When the path contains "..", then it is optimized away if possible,
e.g., "/c/dir/foo/../bar" becomes "c:/dir/bar".
These additional transformations violate the assumptions of some
submodule path tests. We can avoid them when the input is already a
Windows native path, because then MSYS leaves the path unmolested.
Convert the uses of $PWD to $(pwd); the latter returns a native Windows
path.

If i-t-a entries are present and there is no change between the index
and HEAD i-t-a entries, index_differs_from() still returns "dirty, new
entries" (aka, the resulting commit is not empty), but cache-tree will
skip i-t-a entries and produce the exact same tree of current
commit.
index_differs_from() is supposed to catch this so we can abort
git-commit (unless --no-empty is specified). Update it to optionally
ignore i-t-a entries when doing a diff between the index and HEAD so
that it would return "no change" in this case and abort commit.

When comparing the index and the working tree to show which paths are
new, and comparing the tree recorded in the HEAD and the index to see if
committing the contents recorded in the index would result in an empty
commit, we would want the former comparison to say "these are new paths"
and the latter to say "there is no change" for paths that are marked as
intent-to-add.
We made a similar attempt at d95d728a ("diff-lib.c: adjust position of
i-t-a entries in diff", 2015-03-16), which redefined the semantics of
these two comparison modes globally, which was a disaster and had to be
reverted at 78cc1a54 ("Revert "diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a
entries in diff"", 2015-06-23).
To make sure we do not repeat the same mistake, introduce a new internal
diffopt option so that this different semantics can be asked for only by
callers that ask it, while making sure other unaudited callers will get
the same comparison result.

When there is a TAP harness consuming the output of our test
scripts, the "--verbose" breaks the output by mingling
test command output with TAP. Because the TAP::Harness
module used by "prove" is fairly lenient, this _usually_
works, but it violates the spec, and things get very
confusing if the commands happen to output a line that looks
like TAP (e.g., the word "ok" on its own line).
Let's detect this situation and complain. Just calling
error() isn't great, though; prove will tell us that the
script failed, but the message doesn't make it through to
the user. Instead, we can use the special TAP signal "Bail
out!". This not only shows the message to the user, but
instructs the harness to stop running the tests entirely.
This is exactly what we want here, as the problem is in the
command-line options, and every test script would produce
the same error.
The result looks like this (the first "Bailout called" line
is in red if prove uses color on your terminal):
$ make GIT_TEST_OPTS='--verbose --tee'
rm -f -r 'test-results'
*** prove ***
Bailout called. Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log
FAILED--Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log

Currently, interpret-trailers requires all lines of a trailer block to
be trailers (or comments) - if not it would not identify that block as a
trailer block, and thus create its own trailer block, inserting a blank
line. For example:
echo -e "\nSigned-off-by: x\nnot trailer" |
git interpret-trailers --trailer "c: d"
would result in:
Signed-off-by: x
not trailer
c: d
Relax the definition of a trailer block to require that the trailers (i)
are all trailers, or (ii) contain at least one Git-generated trailer and
consists of at least 25% trailers.
Signed-off-by: x
not trailer
c: d
(i) is the existing functionality. (ii) allows arbitrary lines to be
included in trailer blocks, like those in [1], and still allow
interpret-trailers to be used.

The "--verbose" option redirects output from arbitrary
test commands to stdout. This is useful for examining the
output manually, like:
./t5547-push-quarantine.sh -v | less
But it also means that the output is intermingled with the
TAP directives, which can confuse a TAP parser like "prove".
This has always been a potential problem, but became an
issue recently when one test happened to output the word
"ok" on a line by itself, which prove interprets as a test
success:
$ prove t5547-push-quarantine.sh :: -v
t5547-push-quarantine.sh .. 1/? To dest.git
* [new branch] HEAD -> master
To dest.git
! [remote rejected] reject -> reject (pre-receive hook declined)

Bad plan. You planned 4 tests but ran 5.

Result: FAIL
One answer is "if it hurts, don't do it", but that's not
quite the whole story. The Travis tests use "--verbose
--tee" so that they can get the benefit of prove's parallel
options, along with a verbose log in case there is a
failure. We just need the verbose output to go to the log,
but keep stdout clean.
Getting this right turns out to be surprisingly difficult.
Here's the progression of alternatives I considered:
1. Add an option to write verbose output to stderr. This is
hard to capture, though, because we want each test to
have its own log (because they're all run in parallel
and the jumbled output would be useless).
2. Add an option to write verbose output to a file in
test-results. This works, but the log is missing all of
the non-verbose output, which gives context.
3. Like (2), but teach say_color() to additionally output
to the log. This mostly works, but misses any output
that happens outside of the say() functions (which isn't
a lot, but is a potential maintenance headache).
4. Like (2), but make the log file the same as the "--tee"
file. That almost works, but now we have two processes
opening the same file. That gives us two separate
descriptors, each with their own idea of the current
position. They'll each start writing at offset 0, and
overwrite each other's data.
5. Like (4), but in each case open the file for appending.
That atomically positions each write at the end of the
file.
It's possible we may still get sheared writes between
the two processes, but this is already the case when
writing to stdout. It's not a problem in practice
because the test harness generally waits for snippets to
finish before writing the TAP output.
We can ignore buffering issues with tee, because POSIX
mandates that it does not buffer. Likewise, POSIX
specifies "tee -a", so it should be available
everywhere.
This patch implements option (5), which seems to work well
in practice.

When adding support for prefixing output of log and other commands using
--line-prefix, commit 660e113ce118 ("graph: add support for
--line-prefix on all graph-aware output", 2016-08-31) accidentally
broke rev-list --header output.
In order to make the output appear with a line-prefix, the flow was
changed to always use the graph subsystem for display. Unfortunately
the graph flow in rev-list did not use info->hdr_termination as it was
assumed that graph output would never need to putput NULs.
Since we now always use the graph code in order to handle the case of
line-prefix, simply replace putchar('\n') with
putchar(info->hdr_termination) which will correct this issue.
Add a test for the --header case to make sure we don't break it in the
future.

An "add --chmod=+x" test recently added by 610d55af0f ("add: modify

as a test file. The paths xfoo[1-3] were used by earlier tests for
symbolic links but they were expected to have been removed by the
time the execution reached this new test.
The removal with "git reset --hard" however happened in a pair of
earlier tests, both of which are protected by POSIXPERM,SANITY
prerequisites. Platforms and test environments that lacked these
would have seen xfoo3 as a leftover symbolic link that points at
somewhere else at this point of the sequence, and the chmod test
would have given a wrong result.

In order for the receiving end of "git push" to inspect the

and letting "git gc" to expire it. Instead, store the newly

Git's clean/smudge mechanism invokes an external filter process for
every single blob that is affected by a filter. If Git filters a lot of
blobs then the startup time of the external filter processes can become
a significant part of the overall Git execution time.
In a preliminary performance test this developer used a clean/smudge
filter written in golang to filter 12,000 files. This process took 364s
with the existing filter mechanism and 5s with the new mechanism. See
details here: https://github.com/github/git-lfs/pull/1382
This patch adds the `filter.<driver>.process` string option which, if
used, keeps the external filter process running and processes all blobs
with the packet format (pkt-line) based protocol over standard input and
standard output. The full protocol is explained in detail in
`Documentation/gitattributes.txt`.
A few key decisions:
* The long running filter process is referred to as filter protocol
version 2 because the existing single shot filter invocation is
considered version 1.
* Git sends a welcome message and expects a response right after the
external filter process has started. This ensures that Git will not
hang if a version 1 filter is incorrectly used with the
filter.<driver>.process option for version 2 filters. In addition,
Git can detect this kind of error and warn the user.
* The status of a filter operation (e.g. "success" or "error) is set
before the actual response and (if necessary!) re-set after the
response. The advantage of this two step status response is that if
the filter detects an error early, then the filter can communicate
this and Git does not even need to create structures to read the
response.
* All status responses are pkt-line lists terminated with a flush
packet. This allows us to send other status fields with the same
protocol in the future.
