Fix AsciiDoc errors in merge documentation
In the section on conflict markers, the "<<<<<<<" sequence is compiled by
AsciiDoc into invalid XML. A way to resolve this is by inserting something
between the last two characters in that sequence (i.e. between '<' and '"').
This patch encloses the conflict markers in backticks, which renders them
in a monospace font (in the HTML version; the manual page is unaffected),
and with the pleasant side-effect that it also fixes the AsciiDoc compile
problem.

checkout --conflict=<style>: recreate merge in a non-default style
This new option does essentially the same thing as -m option when checking
unmerged paths out of the index, but it uses the specified style instead
of configured merge.conflictstyle.
Setting "merge.conflictstyle" to "diff3" is usually less useful than using
the default "merge" style, because the latter allows a conflict that
results by both sides changing the same region in a very similar way to
get simplified substancially by reducing the common lines. However, when
one side removed a group of lines (perhaps a function was moved to some
other file) while the other side modified it, the default "merge" style
does not give any clue as to why the hunk is left conflicting. You would
need the original to understand what is going on.
The recommended use would be not to set merge.conflictstyle variable so
that you would usually use the default "merge" style conflict, and when
the result in a path in a particular merge is too hard to understand, use
"git checkout --conflict=diff3 $path" to check it out with the original to
review what is going on.

xmerge.c: "diff3 -m" style clips merge reduction level to EAGER or less
When showing a conflicting merge result, and "--diff3 -m" style is asked
for, this patch makes sure that the merge reduction level does not exceed
XDL_MERGE_EAGER. This is because "diff3 -m" style output would not make
sense for anything more aggressive than XDL_MERGE_EAGER, because of the
way how the merge reduction works.
"git merge-file" no longer has to force MERGE_EAGER when "--diff3" is
asked for because of this change.
Suppose a common ancestor (shared preimage) is modified to postimage #1
and #2 (each letter represents one line):
#####
postimage#1:
1234ABCDE789
| /
| /
preimage:
123456789
| \
postimage#2: 1234AXYE789
####
XDL_MERGE_MINIMAL and XDL_MERGE_EAGER would:
(1) find the s/56/ABCDE/ done on one side and s/56/AXYE/ done on the
other side,
(2) notice that they touch an overlapping area, and
(3) mark it as a conflict, "ABCDE vs AXYE".
The difference between the two algorithms is that EAGER drops the hunk
altogether if the postimages match (i.e. both sides modified the same
way), while MINIMAL keeps it. There is no other operation performed to
the hunk. As the result, lines marked with "#" in the above picure will
be in the RCS merge style output like this (letters <, = and > represent
conflict marker lines):
output: 1234<ABCDE=AXYE>789 ; with MINIMAL/EAGER
The part from the preimage that corresponds to these conflicting changes
is "56", which is what "diff3 -m" style output adds to it:
output: 1234<ABCDE|56=AXYE>789 ; in "diff3 -m" style
Now, XDL_MERGE_ZEALOUS looks at the differences between the changes two
postimages made in order to reduce the number of lines in the conflicting
regions. It notices that both sides start their new contents with "A",
and excludes it from the output (it also excludes "E" for the same
reason). The conflict that used to be "ABCDE vs AXYE" is now "BCD vs XY":
output: 1234A<BCD=XY>E789 ; with ZEALOUS
There could even be matching parts between two postimages in the middle.
Instead of one side rewriting the shared "56" to "ABCDE" and the other
side to "AXYE", imagine the case where the postimages are "ABCDE" and
"AXCYE", in which case instead of having one conflicted hunk "BCD vs XY",
you would have two conflicting hunks "B vs X" and "D vs Y".
In either case, once you reduce "ABCDE vs AXYE" to "BCD vs XY" (or "ABCDE
vs AXCYE" to "B vs X" and "D vs Y"), there is no part from the preimage
that corresponds to the conflicting change made in both postimages
anymore. In other words, conflict reduced by ZEALOUS algorithm cannot be
expressed in "diff3 -m" style. Representing the last illustration like
this is misleading to say the least:
output: 1234A<BCD|56=XY>E789 ; broken "diff3 -m" style
because the preimage was not ...4A56E... to begin with. "A" and "E" are
common only between the postimages.
Even worse, once a single conflicting hunk is split into multiple ones
(recall the example of breaking "ABCDE vs AXCYE" to "B vs X" and "D vs
Y"), there is no sane way to distribute the preimage text across split
conflicting hunks.

that all files are nicely grouped by directory.
That all works fine.
Except when we have rename detection, and suddenly the nicely sorted list
of pathnames isn't all that sorted at all. And now the single-pass dirstat

merge: fix numerus bugs around "trivial merge" area
The "trivial merge" codepath wants to optimize itself by making an
internal call to the read-tree machinery, but it does not read the index
before doing so, and the codepath is never exercised. Incidentally, this
failure to read the index upfront means that the safety to refuse doing
anything when the index is unmerged does not kick in, either.
These two problem are fixed by using read_cache_unmerged() that does read
the index before checking if it is unmerged at the beginning of
cmd_merge().
The primary logic of the merge, however, assumes that the process never
reads the index in-core, and the call to write_cache_as_tree() it makes
from write_tree_trivial() will always read from the on-disk index that is
prepared the strategy back-ends. This assumption is now broken by the
above fix. To fix this issue, we now call discard_cache() before calling
write_tree_trivial() when it wants to write the on-disk index as a tree.
When multiple strategies are tried, their results are evaluated by reading
the resulting index and inspecting it. The codepath needs to make a call
to read_cache() for each successful strategy, and for that to work, they
need to discard_cache() the one read by the previous round.
Also the "trivial merge" forgot that the current commit is one of the
parents of the resulting commit.

unpack_trees(): protect the handcrafted in-core index from read_cache()
unpack_trees() rebuilds the in-core index from scratch by allocating a new
structure and finishing it off by copying the built one to the final
index.
The resulting in-core index is Ok for most use, but read_cache() does not
recognize it as such. The function is meant to be no-op if you already
have loaded the index, until you call discard_cache().
This change the way read_cache() detects an already initialized in-core
index, by introducing an extra bit, and marks the handcrafted in-core
index as initialized, to avoid this problem.
A better fix in the longer term would be to change the read_cache() API so
that it will always discard and re-read from the on-disk index to avoid
confusion. But there are higher level API that have relied on the current
semantics, and they and their users all need to get converted, which is
outside the scope of 'maint' track.
An example of such a higher level API is write_cache_as_tree(), which is
used by git-write-tree as well as later Porcelains like git-merge, revert
and cherry-pick. In the longer term, we should remove read_cache() from
there and add one to cmd_write_tree(); other callers expect that the
in-core index they prepared is what gets written as a tree so no other
change is necessary for this particular codepath.
The original version of this patch marked the index by pointing an
otherwise wasted malloc'ed memory with o->result.alloc, but this version

compat/snprintf.c: handle snprintf's that always return the # chars transmitted
Some platforms provide a horribly broken snprintf. More broken than the
platforms that return -1 when there is too little space in the target buffer
for the formatted string. Some platforms provide an snprintf which _always_
returns the number of characters transmitted to the buffer, regardless of
whether there was enough space or not.
IRIX 6.5 is such a platform. IRIX does have a working snprintf(), but it
is only provided when _NO_XOPEN5 evaluates to zero, and this only happens
if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, but definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE prevents
inclusion of many other common functions and defines. So it must be avoided.
Work around these horribly broken snprintf implementations by detecting an
snprintf call which results in the number of transmitted characters exactly
equal to the length of our buffer and retrying with a larger buffer just to
be safe.

mailinfo: avoid violating strbuf assertion
In handle_from, we calculate the end boundary of a section
to remove from a strbuf using strcspn like this:
el = strcspn(buf, set_of_end_boundaries);
strbuf_remove(&sb, start, el + 1);
This works fine if "el" is the offset of the boundary
character, meaning we remove up to and including that
character. But if the end boundary didn't match (that is, we
hit the end of the string as the boundary instead) then we
want just "el". Asking for "el+1" caught an out-of-bounds
assertion in the strbuf library.
This manifested itself when we got a 'From' header that had
just an email address with nothing else in it (the end of
the string was the end of the address, rather than, e.g., a
trailing '>' character), causing git-mailinfo to barf.

t5304-prune: adjust file mtime based on system time rather than file mtime
test-chmtime can adjust the mtime of a file based on the file's mtime, or
based on the system time. For files accessed over NFS, the file's mtime is
set by the NFS server, and as such may vary a great deal from the NFS
client's system time if the clocks of the client and server are out of
sync. Since these tests are testing the expire feature of git-prune, an
incorrect mtime could cause a file to be expired or not expired incorrectly
and produce a test failure.

git-svn: Reduce temp file usage when dealing with non-links
Currently, in sub 'close_file', git-svn creates a temporary file and
copies the contents of the blob to be written into it. This is useful
for symlinks because svn stores symlinks in the form:
link $FILE_PATH
Git creates a blob only out of '$FILE_PATH' and uses file mode to
indicate that the blob should be interpreted as a symlink.
As git-hash-object is invoked with --stdin-paths, a duplicate of the
link from svn must be created that leaves off the first five bytes,
i.e. 'link '. However, this is wholly unnecessary for normal blobs,
though, as we already have a temp file with their contents. Copying
the entire file gains nothing, and effectively requires a file to be
written twice before making it into the object db.
This patch corrects that issue, holding onto the substr-like
duplication for symlinks, but skipping it altogether for normal blobs
by reusing the existing temp file.

git-svn: Make it incrementally faster by minimizing temp files
Currently, git-svn would create a temp file on four occasions:
1. Reading a blob out of the object db
2. Creating a delta from svn
3. Hashing and writing a blob into the object db
4. Reading a blob out of the object db (in another place in code)
Any time git-svn did the above, it would dutifully create and then
delete said temp file. Unfortunately, this means that between 2-4
temporary files are created/deleted per file 'add/modify'-ed in
svn (O(n)). This causes significant overhead and helps the inode
counter to spin beautifully.
By its nature, git-svn is a serial beast. Thus, reusing a temp file
does not pose significant problems. "truncate and seek" takes much
less time than "unlink and create". This patch centralizes the
tempfile creation and holds onto the tempfile until they are deleted
on exit. This significantly reduces file overhead, now requiring
at most three (3) temp files per run (O(1)).

Git.pm: Add faculties to allow temp files to be cached
This patch offers a generic interface to allow temp files to be
cached while using an instance of the 'Git' package. If many
temp files are created and destroyed during the execution of a
program, this caching mechanism can help reduce the amount of
files created and destroyed by the filesystem.
The temp_acquire method provides a weak guarantee that a temp
file will not be stolen by subsequent requests. If a file is
locked when another acquire request is made, a simple error is
thrown.

Teach git diff about BibTeX head hunk patterns
All BibTeX entries starts with an @ followed by an entry type. Since
there are many entry types and own can be defined, the pattern matches
legal entry type names instead of just the default types (which would
be a long list). The pattern also matches strings and comments since
they will also be useful to position oneself in a bib-file.

diff --check: do not unconditionally complain about trailing empty lines
Recently "git diff --check" learned to detect new trailing blank lines
just like "git apply --whitespace" does. However this check should not
trigger unconditionally. This patch makes it honor the whitespace
settings from core.whitespace and gitattributes.
