2017-10-17tag: respect color.ui configLibravatar Jeff King2-0/+11
Since 11b087adfd (ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors, 2017-07-13), we expect that setting "color.ui" to "always" will enable color tag formats even without a tty. As that commit was built on top of 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13) from the same series, we didn't need to touch tag's config parsing at all. However, since we reverted 136c8c8b8f, we now need to explicitly call git_color_default_config() to make this work. Let's do so, and also restore the test dropped in 0c88bf5050 (provide --color option for all ref-filter users, 2017-10-03). That commit swapped out our "color.ui=always" test for "--color" in preparation for "always" going away. But since it is here to stay, we should test both cases. Note that for-each-ref also lost its color.ui support as part of reverting 136c8c8b8f. But as a plumbing command, it should _not_ respect the color.ui config. Since it also gained a --color option in 0c88bf5050, that's the correct way to ask it for color. We'll continue to test that, and confirm that "color.ui" is not respected.

2017-10-17Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()"Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
This reverts commit 136c8c8b8fa39f1315713248473dececf20f8fe7. That commit was trying to address a bug caused by 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), in which plumbing like diff-tree defaulted to "auto" color, but did not respect a "color.ui" directive to disable it. But it also meant that we started respecting "color.ui" set to "always". This was a known problem, but 4c7f1819b3 argued that nobody ought to be doing that. However, that turned out to be wrong, and we got a number of bug reports related to "add -p" regressing in v2.14.2. Let's revert 136c8c8b8, fixing the regression to "add -p". This leaves the problem from 4c7f1819b3 unfixed, but: 1. It's a pretty obscure problem in the first place. I only noticed it while working on the color code, and we haven't got a single bug report or complaint about it. 2. We can make a more moderate fix on top by respecting "never" but not "always" for plumbing commands. This is just the minimal fix to go back to the working state we had before v2.14.2. Note that this isn't a pure revert. We now have a test in t3701 which shows off the "add -p" regression. This can be flipped to success.

2017-10-17Revert "t6006: drop "always" color config tests"Libravatar Jeff King1-5/+15
This reverts commit c5bdfe677cfab5b2e87771c35565d44d3198efda. That commit was done primarily to prepare for the weakening of "always" in 6be4595edb (color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config, 2017-10-03). But since we've now reverted 6be4595edb, there's no need for us to remove "-c color.ui=always" from the tests. And in fact it's a good idea to restore these tests, to make sure that "always" continues to work. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-10-17Revert "color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config"Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
This reverts commit 6be4595edb8e5b616c6e8b9fbc78b0f831fa2a87. That commit weakened the "always" setting of color config so that it acted as "auto". This was meant to solve regressions in v2.14.2 in which setting "color.ui=always" in the on-disk config broke scripts like add--interactive, because the plumbing diff commands began to generate color output. This was due to 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which was in turn trying to fix issues caused by 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10). But in weakening "always", we created even more problems, as people expect to be able to use "git -c color.ui=always" to force color (especially because some commands don't have their own --color flag). We can fix that by special-casing the command-line "-c", but now things are getting pretty confusing. Instead of piling hacks upon hacks, let's start peeling off the hacks. The first step is dropping the weakening of "always", which this revert does. Note that we could actually revert the whole series merged in by da15b78e52642bd45fd5513ab0000fdf2e58a6f4. Most of that series consists of preparations to the tests to handle the weakening of "-c color.ui=always". But it's worth keeping for a few reasons: - there are some other preparatory cleanups, like e433749d86 (test-terminal: set TERM=vt100, 2017-10-03) - it adds "--color" options more consistently in 0c88bf5050 (provide --color option for all ref-filter users, 2017-10-03) - some of the cases dropping "-c" end up being more robust and realistic tests, as in 01c94e9001 (t7508: use test_terminal for color output, 2017-10-03) - the preferred tool for overriding config is "--color", and we should be modeling that consistently We can individually revert the few commits necessary to restore some useful tests (which will be done on top of this patch). Note that this isn't a pure revert; we'll keep the test added in t3701, but mark it as failure for now. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-10-06fsck: handle NULL return of lookup_blob() and lookup_tree()Libravatar René Scharfe1-0/+22
lookup_blob() and lookup_tree() can return NULL if they find an object of an unexpected type. Accessing the object member is undefined in that case. Cast the result to a struct object pointer instead; we can do that because object is the first member of all object types. This trick is already used in other places in the code. An error message is already shown by object_as_type(), which is called by the lookup functions. The walk callback functions are expected to handle NULL object pointers passed to them, but put_object_name() needs a valid object, so avoid calling it without one.

2017-10-05ref-filter.c: pass empty-string as NULL to atom parsersLibravatar Taylor Blau1-0/+1
Peff points out that different atom parsers handle the empty "sub-argument" list differently. An example of this is the format "%(refname:)". Since callers often use `string_list_split` (which splits the empty string with any delimiter as a 1-ary string_list containing the empty string), this makes handling empty sub-argument strings non-ergonomic. Let's fix this by declaring that atom parser implementations must not care about distinguishing between the empty string "%(refname:)" and no sub-arguments "%(refname)". Current code aborts, either with "unrecognised arg" (e.g. "refname:") or "does not take args" (e.g. "body:") as an error message.

2017-10-04color: make "always" the same as "auto" in configLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+10
It can be handy to use `--color=always` (or it's synonym `--color`) on the command-line to convince a command to produce color even if it's stdout isn't going to the terminal or a pager. What's less clear is whether it makes sense to set config variables like color.ui to `always`. For a one-shot like: git -c color.ui=always ... it's potentially useful (especially if the command doesn't directly support the `--color` option). But setting `always` in your on-disk config is much muddier, as you may be surprised when piped commands generate colors (and send them to whatever is consuming the pipe downstream). Some people have done this anyway, because: 1. The documentation for color.ui makes it sound like using `always` is a good idea, when you almost certainly want `auto`. 2. Traditionally not every command (and especially not plumbing) respected color.ui in the first place. So the confusion came up less frequently than it might have. The situation changed in 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which negated point (2): now scripts using only plumbing commands (like add-interactive) are broken by this setting. That commit was fixing real issues (e.g., by making `color.ui=never` work, since `auto` is the default), so we don't want to just revert it. We could turn `always` into a noop in plumbing commands, but that creates a hard-to-explain inconsistency between the plumbing and other commands. Instead, let's just turn `always` into `auto` for all config. This does break the "one-shot" config shown above, but again, we're probably better to have simple and consistent rules than to try to special-case command-line config. There is one place where `always` should retain its meaning: on the command line, `--color=always` should continue to be the same as `--color`, overriding any isatty checks. Since the command-line parser also depends on git_config_colorbool(), we can use the existence of the "var" string to deterine whether we are serving the command-line or the config.

2017-10-04provide --color option for all ref-filter usersLibravatar Jeff King2-4/+4
When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd (ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors, 2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so with --color/--no-color. But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the "color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands the usual color command-line options. This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always" changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

2017-10-04t3205: use --color instead of color.branch=alwaysLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+2
To test the color output, we must convince "git branch" to write colors to a non-terminal. We do that now by setting the color config to "always".

We test the %C() format placeholders with a variety of color-inducing options, including "--color" and "-c color.ui=always". In preparation for the behavior of "always" changing, we need to do something with those "always" tests. We can drop ones that expect "always" to turn on color even to a file, as that will become a synonym for "auto", which is already tested. For the "--no-color" test, we need to make sure that color would otherwise be shown. To do this, we can use test_terminal, which enables colors in the default setup.

To check that "status -v" respects diff config, we set "color.diff" and look at the output of "status". We could equally well use any diff config.

The point of the test-terminal script is to simulate in the test scripts an environment where output is going to a real terminal. But since test-lib.sh also sets TERM=dumb, the simulation isn't very realistic. The color code will skip auto-coloring for TERM=dumb, leading to us liberally sprinkling test_terminal env TERM=vt100 git ... through the test suite to convince the tests to actually generate colors. Let's set TERM for programs run under test_terminal, which is one less thing for test-writers to remember. In most cases the callers can be simplified, but note there is one interesting case in t4202. It uses test_terminal to check the auto-enabling of --decorate, but the expected output _doesn't_ contain colors (because TERM=dumb suppresses them).

2017-09-29fast-import: checkpoint: dump branches/tags/marks even if object_count==0Libravatar Eric Rannaud1-0/+142
The checkpoint command cycles packfiles if object_count != 0, a sensible test or there would be no pack files to write. Since 820b931012, the command also dumps branches, tags and marks, but still conditionally. However, it is possible for a command stream to modify refs or create marks without creating any new objects. For example, reset a branch (and keep fast-import running): $ git fast-import reset refs/heads/master from refs/heads/master^ checkpoint but refs/heads/master remains unchanged. Other example: a commit command that re-creates an object that already exists in the object database. The man page also states that checkpoint "updates the refs" and that "placing a progress command immediately after a checkpoint will inform the reader when the checkpoint has been completed and it can safely access the refs that fast-import updated". This wasn't always true without this patch. This fix unconditionally calls dump_{branches,tags,marks}() for all checkpoint commands. dump_branches() and dump_tags() are cheap to call in the case of a no-op. Add tests to t9300 that observe the (non-packfiles) effects of checkpoint. Signed-off-by: Eric Rannaud <e@nanocritical.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Commit dc944b65f1 (get_sha1_with_context: dynamically allocate oc->path, 2017-05-19) changed the rules that callers must follow for seeing if we parsed a path in the object name. The rules switched from "check if the oc.path buffer is empty" to "check if the oc.path pointer is NULL". But that commit forgot to update some sites in cat_one_file(), meaning we might dereference a NULL pointer.

2017-09-21fast-export: do not copy from modified fileLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-1/+19
When run with the "-C" option, fast-export writes 'C' commands in its output whenever the internal diff mechanism detects a file copy, indicating that fast-import should copy the given existing file to the given new filename. However, the diff mechanism works against the prior version of the file, whereas fast-import uses whatever is current. This causes issues when a commit both modifies a file and uses it as the source for a copy. Therefore, teach fast-export to refrain from writing 'C' when it has already written a modification command for a file. An existing test in t9350-fast-export is also fixed in this patch. The existing line "C file6 file7" copies the wrong version of file6, but it has coincidentally worked because file7 was subsequently overridden.

2017-09-21test-lint: echo -e (or -E) is not portableLibravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-1/+1
Some implementations of `echo` support the '-e' option to enable backslash interpretation of the following string. As an addition, they support '-E' to turn it off. However, none of these are portable, POSIX doesn't even mention them, and many implementations don't support them. A check for '-n' is already done in check-non-portable-shell.pl, extend it to cover '-n', '-e' or '-E'.

`git describe --match` with multiple patterns matches only first pattern. If it fails, next patterns are not tried. Fix it, add test cases and update existing test which has wrong expectation. Signed-off-by: Max Kirillov <max@max630.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-09-14archive: don't add empty directories to archivesLibravatar René Scharfe3-4/+4
While git doesn't track empty directories, git archive can be tricked into putting some into archives. One way is to construct an empty tree object, as t5004 does. While that is supported by the object database, it can't be represented in the index and thus it's unlikely to occur in the wild. Another way is using the literal name of a directory in an exclude pathspec -- its contents are are excluded, but the directory stub is included. That's inconsistent: exclude pathspecs containing wildcards don't leave empty directories in the archive. Yet another way is have a few levels of nested subdirectories (e.g. d1/d2/d3/file1) and ignoring the entries at the leaves (e.g. file1). The directories with the ignored content are ignored as well (e.g. d3), but their empty parents are included (e.g. d2). As empty directories are not supported by git, they should also not be written into archives. If an empty directory is really needed then it can be tracked and archived by placing an empty .gitignore file in it. There already is a mechanism in place for suppressing empty directories. When read_tree_recursive() encounters a directory excluded by a pathspec then it enters it anyway because it might contain included entries. It calls the callback function before it is able to decide if the directory is actually needed. For that reason git archive adds directories to a queue and writes entries for them only when it encounters the first child item -- but currently only if pathspecs with wildcards are used. Queue *all* directories, no matter if there even are pathspecs present. This prevents git archive from writing entries for empty directories in all cases.

2017-09-12shell: drop git-cvsserver support by defaultLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+48
The git-cvsserver script is old and largely unmaintained these days. But git-shell allows untrusted users to run it out of the box, significantly increasing its attack surface. Let's drop it from git-shell's list of internal handlers so that it cannot be run by default. This is not backwards compatible. But given the age and development activity on CVS-related parts of Git, this is likely to impact very few users, while helping many more (i.e., anybody who runs git-shell and had no intention of supporting CVS). There's no configuration mechanism in git-shell for us to add a boolean and flip it to "off". But there is a mechanism for adding custom commands, and adding CVS support here is fairly trivial. Let's document it to give guidance to anybody who really is still running cvsserver. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
