If you ask rev-list for:
git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index HEAD
we optimize out the actual traversal and just give you the
number of bits set in the commit bitmap. This is faster,
which is good.
But if you ask to limit the size of the traversal, like:
git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index -n 100 HEAD
we'll still output the full bitmapped number we found. On
the surface, that might even seem OK. You explicitly asked
to use the bitmap index, and it was cheap to compute the
real answer, so we gave it to you.
But there's something much more complicated going on under
the hood. If we don't have a bitmap directly for HEAD, then
we have to actually traverse backwards, looking for a
bitmapped commit. And _that_ traversal is bounded by our
`-n` count.
This is a good thing, because it bounds the work we have to
do, which is probably what the user wanted by asking for
`-n`. But now it makes the output quite confusing. You might
get many values:
- your `-n` value, if we walked back and never found a
bitmap (or fewer if there weren't that many commits)
- the actual full count, if we found a bitmap root for
every path of our traversal with in the `-n` limit
- any number in between! We might have walked back and
found _some_ bitmaps, but then cut off the traversal
early with some commits not accounted for in the result.
So you cannot even see a value higher than your `-n` and say
"OK, bitmaps kicked in, this must be the real full count".
The only sane thing is for git to just clamp the value to a
maximum of the `-n` value, which means we should output the
exact same results whether bitmaps are in use or not.
The test in t5310 demonstrates this by using `-n 1`.
Without this patch we fail in the full-bitmap case (where we
do not have to traverse at all) but _not_ in the
partial-bitmap case (where we have to walk down to find an
actual bitmap). With this patch, both cases just work.
I didn't implement the crazy in-between case, just because
it's complicated to set up, and is really a subset of the
full-count case, which we do cover.

By default, libcurl will follow circular http redirects
forever. Let's put a cap on this so that somebody who can
trigger an automated fetch of an arbitrary repository (e.g.,
for CI) cannot convince git to loop infinitely.
The value chosen is 20, which is the same default that
Firefox uses.

Previously, libcurl would follow redirection to any protocol
it was compiled for support with. This is desirable to allow
redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. However, it would even
successfully allow redirection from HTTP to SFTP, a protocol
that git does not otherwise support at all. Furthermore
git's new protocol-whitelisting could be bypassed by
following a redirect within the remote helper, as it was
only enforced at transport selection time.
This patch limits redirects within libcurl to HTTP, HTTPS,
FTP and FTPS. If there is a protocol-whitelist present, this
list is limited to those also allowed by the whitelist. As
redirection happens from within libcurl, it is impossible
for an HTTP redirect to a protocol implemented within
another remote helper.
When the curl version git was compiled with is too old to
support restrictions on protocol redirection, we warn the
user if GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL restrictions were requested. This
is a little inaccurate, as even without that variable in the
environment, we would still restrict SFTP, etc, and we do
not warn in that case. But anything else means we would
literally warn every time git accesses an http remote.
This commit includes a test, but it is not as robust as we
would hope. It redirects an http request to ftp, and checks
that curl complained about the protocol, which means that we
are relying on curl's specific error message to know what
happened. Ideally we would redirect to a working ftp server
and confirm that we can clone without protocol restrictions,
and not with them. But we do not have a portable way of
providing an ftp server, nor any other protocol that curl
supports (https is the closest, but we would have to deal
with certificates).

Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary
code found in the URL. The URLs that submodules use may come
from arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote
repository). Let's restrict submodules to fetching from a
known-good subset of protocols.
Note that we apply this restriction to all submodule
commands, whether the URL comes from .gitmodules or not.
This is more restrictive than we need to be; for example, in
the tests we run:
git submodule add ext::...
which should be trusted, as the URL comes directly from the
command line provided by the user. But doing it this way is
simpler, and makes it much less likely that we would miss a
case. And since such protocols should be an exception
(especially because nobody who clones from them will be able
to update the submodules!), it's not likely to inconvenience
anyone in practice.

If we are cloning an untrusted remote repository into a
sandbox, we may also want to fetch remote submodules in
order to get the complete view as intended by the other
side. However, that opens us up to attacks where a malicious
user gets us to clone something they would not otherwise
have access to (this is not necessarily a problem by itself,
but we may then act on the cloned contents in a way that
exposes them to the attacker).
Ideally such a setup would sandbox git entirely away from
high-value items, but this is not always practical or easy
to set up (e.g., OS network controls may block multiple
protocols, and we would want to enable some but not others).
We can help this case by providing a way to restrict
particular protocols. We use a whitelist in the environment.
This is more annoying to set up than a blacklist, but
defaults to safety if the set of protocols git supports
grows). If no whitelist is specified, we continue to default
to allowing all protocols (this is an "unsafe" default, but
since the minority of users will want this sandboxing
effect, it is the only sensible one).
A note on the tests: ideally these would all be in a single
test file, but the git-daemon and httpd test infrastructure
is an all-or-nothing proposition rather than a test-by-test
prerequisite. By putting them all together, we would be
unable to test the file-local code on machines without
apache.

The reachability bitmaps do not have enough information to
tell us which commits might have changed path "foo", so the
current code produces wrong answers for:
git rev-list --use-bitmap-index --count HEAD -- foo
(it silently ignores the "foo" limiter). Instead, we should
fall back to doing a normal traversal (it is OK to fall
back rather than complain, because --use-bitmap-index is a
pure optimization, and might not kick in for other reasons,
such as there being no bitmaps in the repository).

When rev-list's --cherry option does not detect that a patch has already
been applied upstream, an interactive rebase would offer to reapply it and
consequently stop at that patch with a failure, mentioning that the diff
is empty.
Traditionally, a `git rebase --continue` simply skips the commit in such a
situation.
However, as pointed out by Gábor Szeder, this leaves a CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
behind, making the Git prompt believe that a cherry pick is still going
on. This commit adds a test case demonstrating this bug.

If tput needs ~/.terminfo for the current $TERM, then tput will
succeed before HOME is changed to $TRASH_DIRECTORY (causing color to
be set to 't') but fail afterward.
One possible way to fix this is to treat HOME like TERM: back up the
original value and temporarily restore it before say_color() runs
tput.
Instead, pre-compute and save the color control sequences before
changing either TERM or HOME. Use the saved control sequences in
say_color() rather than call tput each time. This avoids the need to
back up and restore the TERM and HOME variables, and it avoids the
overhead of a subshell and two invocations of tput per call to
say_color().

There are two issues with that commit:
* It is buggy. In pseudocode, it is doing:
color is set || TERM != dumb && color works && color=t
when it should be doing:
color is set || { TERM != dumb && color works && color=t }
* It unnecessarily disables color when tput needs to read
~/.terminfo to get the control sequences.

This reverts commit ed178ef13a26136d86ff4e33bb7b1afb5033f908.
That commit was an attempt to improve the safety of applying
a stash, because the application process may create
conflicted index entries, after which it is hard to restore
the original index state.
Unfortunately, this hurts some common workflows around "git
stash -k", like:
git add -p ;# (1) stage set of proposed changes
git stash -k ;# (2) get rid of everything else
make test ;# (3) make sure proposal is reasonable
git stash apply ;# (4) restore original working tree
If you "git commit" between steps (3) and (4), then this
just works. However, if these steps are part of a pre-commit
hook, you don't have that opportunity (you have to restore
the original state regardless of whether the tests passed or
failed).
It's possible that we could provide better tools for this
sort of workflow. In particular, even before ed178ef, it
could fail with a conflict if there were conflicting hunks
in the working tree and index (since the "stash -k" puts the
index version into the working tree, and we then attempt to
apply the differences between HEAD and the old working tree
on top of that). But the fact remains that people have been
using it happily for a while, and the safety provided by
ed178ef is simply not that great. Let's revert it for now.
In the long run, people can work on improving stash for this
sort of workflow, but the safety tradeoff is not worth it in
the meantime.

The diff and submodule shortlog appended to the commit message template
by 'git commit --verbose' are not stripped when the commit message
contains an indented scissors line.
When cleaning up a commit message with 'git commit --verbose' or
'--cleanup=scissors' the code is careful and triggers only on a pure
scissors line, i.e. a line containing nothing but a comment character, a
space, and the scissors cut. This is good, because people can embed
scissors lines in the commit message while using 'git commit --verbose',
and the text they write after their indented scissors line doesn't get
deleted.
While doing so, however, the cleanup function only looks at the first
line matching the scissors pattern and if it doesn't start at the
beginning of the line, then the function just returns without performing
any cleanup. This is wrong, because a "real" scissors line added by
'git commit --verbose' might follow, and in that case the diff and
submodule shortlog get included in the commit message.
Fix this by changing the scissors pattern to match only at the beginning
of the line, yet be careful to catch scissors on the first line as well.

Since 7b3b7e3 (am --abort: keep unrelated commits since the last failure
and warn, 2010-12-21), git-am would refuse to rewind HEAD if commits
were made since the last git-am failure. This check was implemented in
safe_to_abort(), which checked to see if HEAD's hash matched the
abort-safety file.
However, this check was skipped if the abort-safety file was empty,
which can happen if git-am failed while on an unborn branch. As such, if
any commits were made since then, they would be discarded. Fix this by
carrying on the abort safety check even if the abort-safety file is

b7dd2d2 for-each-ref: Do not lookup objects when they will not be used (2009-05-27)
, which changed for-each-ref from using for_each_ref() to using
git_for_each_rawref() in order to avoid looking up the referred-to
objects unnecessarily. (When "git for-each-ref" is given a "--format"
string that doesn't include information about the pointed-to object,
it does not look up the object at all, which makes it considerably
faster. Iterating with DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN is essential to this
optimization because otherwise for_each_ref() would itself need to
check whether the object exists as part of its brokenness test.)
But for_each_rawref() includes broken references in the iteration, and
"git for-each-ref" doesn't itself reject references with REF_ISBROKEN.
The result is that broken references are processed *as if* they had
the value NULL_SHA1, which is the value stored in entries for broken
references.
Change "git for-each-ref" to emit warnings for references that are
REF_ISBROKEN but to otherwise skip them.
