bisect: visualize with git-log if gitk is unavailable

If gitk is not available in the PATH, bisect ends up
exiting with the shell's 127 error code, confusing the git
wrapper into thinking that bisect is not a git command.

We already fallback to git-log if there doesn't seem to be a
graphical display available. We should do the same if gitk
is not available in our PATH at all. This not only fixes the
ugly error message, but is a much more sensible default than
failing to show the user anything.

Work around broken ln on solaris as used in t8006

The test setup in t8006-blame-textconv.sh uses "ln -sf" to
overwrite an existing symlink. Unfortunately, both /usr/bin/ln
and /usr/xpg4/bin/ln on solaris 9 don't properly handle -f and -s
used at the same time. This caused the test setup and subsequent
checks to fail.

Instead, remove the symlink and then create a new one in the
setup code.

gitweb: highlight: replace tabs with spaces

Consider the following code fragment:

 /*
 * test
 */

vim ":set list" mode shows that the first character on each line is a
tab:

^I/*$
^I * test$
^I */$

By default, the "highlight" program will retain the tabs in the HTML
output:

$ highlight --fragment --syntax c test.c
 /*
 * test
 */

vim list mode:

^I/*$
^I * test$
^I */$

In gitweb, this winds up looking something like:

 1 /*
 2 * test
 3 */

I tried both Firefox and Opera and saw the same behavior.

The desired output is:

 1 /*
 2 * test
 3 */

This can be accomplished by specifying "--replace-tabs=8" on the
highlight command line.

valgrind: ignore SSE-based strlen invalid reads

Some versions of strlen use SSE to speed up the calculation and load 4
bytes at a time, even if it means reading past the end of the
allocated memory. This read is safe and when the strlen function is
inlined, it is not replaced by valgrind, which reports a
false-possitive.

Tell valgrind to ignore this particular error, as the read is, in
fact, safe. Current upstream-released version 3.6.1 is affected. Some

diff --submodule: split into bite-sized pieces

Introduce two functions:

- prepare_submodule_summary prepares the revision walker
 to list changes in a submodule. That is, it:

 * finds merge bases between the commits pointed to this
 path from before ("left") and after ("right") the change;
 * checks whether this is a fast-forward or fast-backward;
 * prepares a revision walk to list commits in the symmetric
 difference between the commits at each endpoint.

 It returns nonzero on error.

- print_submodule_summary runs the revision walk and saves
 the result to a strbuf in --left-right format.

The goal is just readability. No functional change intended.

Limit file descriptors used by packs

Rather than using 'errno == EMFILE' after a failed open() call
to indicate the process is out of file descriptors and an LRU
pack window should be closed, place a hard upper limit on the
number of open packs based on the actual rlimit of the process.

By using a hard upper limit that is below the rlimit of the current
process it is not necessary to check for EMFILE on every single
fd-allocating system call. Instead reserving 25 file descriptors
makes it safe to assume the system call won't fail due to being over
the filedescriptor limit. Here 25 is chosen as a WAG, but considers
3 for stdin/stdout/stderr, and at least a few for other Git code
to operate on temporary files. An additional 20 is reserved as it
is not known what the C library needs to perform other services on
Git's behalf, such as nsswitch or name resolution.

This fixes a case where running `git gc --auto` in a repository
with more than 1024 packs (but an rlimit of 1024 open fds) fails
due to the temporary output file not being able to allocate a
file descriptor. The output file is opened by pack-objects after
object enumeration and delta compression are done, both of which
have already opened all of the packs and fully populated the file
descriptor table.

commit: error out for missing commit message template

When "git commit" was rewritten in C (v1.5.4-rc0~78^2~30,
2007-11-08), a subtle bug in --template was introduced. If the
file named by a --template parameter is missing, previously git
would error out with a message:

Commit template file does not exist.

but in the C version the --template parameter gets ignored and
the default template is used.

t7500 has two tests for this case which would have caught it, except
that with the default $EDITOR, the commit message template is left
unmodified, causing 'git commit' to error out and the test to

diff: handle diffstat of rewritten binary files

The logic in builtin_diffstat assumes that a
complete_rewrite pair should have its lines counted. This is
nonsensical for binary files and leads to confusing things
like:

 $ git diff --stat --summary HEAD^ HEAD
 foo.rand | Bin 4096 -> 4096 bytes
 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

 $ git diff --stat --summary -B HEAD^ HEAD
 foo.rand | 34 +++++++++++++++-------------------
 1 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-)
 rewrite foo.rand (100%)

So let's reorder the function to handle binary files first
(which from diffstat's perspective look like complete
rewrites anyway), then rewrites, then actual diffstats.

There are two bonus prizes to this reorder:

 1. It gets rid of a now-superfluous goto.

 2. The binary case is at the top, which means we can
 further optimize it in the next patch.

tests: skip terminal output tests on OS X

master every once in a while. To reproduce the problem:

perl -MIO::Pty -MFile::Copy -e '

my $master = new IO::Pty;
my $slave = $master->slave;
if (fork == 0) {
close $master or die "close: $!";
open STDOUT, ">&", $slave or die "dup2: $!";
close $slave or die "close: $!";
exec("echo", "hi", $i) or die "exec: $!";
}
close $slave or die "close: $!";
copy($master, \*STDOUT) or die "copy: $!";
close $master or die "close: $!";
wait;
}
'

It blocks after 7000 iterations or so in sysread(). The relevant
sysread() call is the second call by the parent, which presumably
executes before the child dies but after the parent has read all
output from there.

Since this is an intermitent problem, the quick check of terminal
support in lib-terminal doesn't catch it. Skip these tests on the Mac

push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'

Users are sometimes confused with two different types of "tracking" behavior
in Git: "remote-tracking" branches (e.g. refs/remotes/*/*) versus the
merge/rebase relationship between a local branch and its @{upstream}
(controlled by branch.foo.remote and branch.foo.merge config settings).

When the push.default is set to 'tracking', it specifies that a branch should
be pushed to its @{upstream} branch. In other words, setting push.default to
'tracking' applies only to the latter of the above two types of "tracking"
behavior.

In order to make this more understandable to the user, we rename the
push.default == 'tracking' option to push.default == 'upstream'.

push.default == 'tracking' is left as a deprecated synonym for 'upstream'.

perl: command_bidi_pipe() method should set-up git environmens

When command_input_pipe and command_output_pipe are used as a
method of a Git::repository instance, they eventually call into
_cmd_exec method that sets up the execution environment such as
GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables and the current
working directory in the child process that interacts with the
repository.

command_bidi_pipe however didn't expect to be called as such, and
lacked all these set-up. Because of this, a program that did this
did not work as expected:

 my $repo = Git->repository(Directory => '/some/where/else');
 my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) =
 $repo->command_bidi_pipe(qw(hash-object -w --stdin-paths));

This patch refactors the _cmd_exec into _setup_git_cmd_env that
sets up the execution environment, and makes _cmd_exec and
command_bidi_pipe to use it.

Note that unlike _cmd_exec that execv's a git command as an
external process, command_bidi_pipe is called from the main line
of control, and the execution environment needs to be restored
after open2() does its magic.

configure: use AC_LANG_PROGRAM consistently

Avoid warnings from Autoconf 2.68 about missing use of AC_LANG_PROGRAM
and friends.

Quoting autoconf-2.68/NEWS:

 ** The macros AC_PREPROC_IFELSE, AC_COMPILE_IFELSE, AC_LINK_IFELSE, and
 AC_RUN_IFELSE now warn if the first argument failed to use
 AC_LANG_SOURCE or AC_LANG_PROGRAM to generate the conftest file
 contents. A new macro AC_LANG_DEFINES_PROVIDED exists if you have
 a compelling reason why you cannot use AC_LANG_SOURCE but must
 avoid the warning.

The underlying reason for that change is that AC_LANG_{SOURCE,PROGRAM}
take care to supply the previously computed set of #defines (and
include standard headers if so desired) for preprocessed languages
like C and C++.

In some cases, AC_LANG_PROGRAM is already used but not sufficiently
m4-quoted, so we just need to add another set of [quotes] to prevent
the autoconf warning from being triggered bogusly. Quoting all
arguments (except when calling special macros that need to be expanded
before recursion) is better style, anyway. These and more rules are
described in detail in 'info Autoconf "Programming in M4"'.

No change in the resulting config.mak.autogen after running
./configure intended.

string_list_append: always set util pointer to NULL

It is not immediately obvious that the util field may
contain random bytes after appending an item. Especially
since the string_list_insert* functions _do_ explicitly zero
the util pointer.

This does not appear to be a bug in any current git code, as
all callers either fill in the util field immediately or
never use it. However, it is worth it to be less surprising
to new users of the string-list API who may expect it to be
intialized to NULL.

correct type of EMPTY_TREE_SHA1_BIN

Functions such as hashcmp that expect a binary SHA-1 value take
parameters of type "unsigned char *" to avoid accepting a textual
SHA-1 passed by mistake. Unfortunately, this means passing the string
literal EMPTY_TREE_SHA1_BIN requires an ugly cast. Tweak the
definition of EMPTY_TREE_SHA1_BIN to produce a value of more
convenient type.

In the future the definition might change to

#define EMPTY_TREE_SHA1_BIN empty_tree_sha1_bin

compat: helper for detecting unsigned overflow

The idiom (a + b < a) works fine for detecting that an unsigned
integer has overflowed, but a more explicit

unsigned_add_overflows(a, b)

might be easier to read.

Define such a macro, expanding roughly to ((a) < UINT_MAX - (b)).
Because the expansion uses each argument only once outside of sizeof()
expressions, it is safe to use with arguments that have side effects.

fast-import: introduce "feature notes" command

Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.

When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,
2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8,
2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature.
But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.

Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes"
command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream
will be treated as a no-op. On fast-import implementations without
the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out
with a message like

This version of fast-import does not support feature notes.

So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not
support notes. (This would be especially important for backends that
do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)

fast-import: clarify documentation of "feature" command

The "feature" command allows streams to specify options for the import
that must not be ignored. Logically, they are part of the stream,
even though technically most supported features are synonyms to
command-line options.

Make this more obvious by being more explicit about how the analogy
between most "feature" commands and command-line options works. Treat
the feature (import-marks) that does not fit this analogy separately.
