2017-12-07launch_editor(): indicate that Git waits for user inputLars Schneider4-0/+30
When a graphical GIT_EDITOR is spawned by a Git command that opens and waits for user input (e.g. "git rebase -i"), then the editor window might be obscured by other windows. The user might be left staring at the original Git terminal window without even realizing that s/he needs to interact with another window before Git can proceed. To this user Git appears hanging. Print a message that Git is waiting for editor input in the original terminal and get rid of it when the editor returns, if the terminal supports erasing the last line. Also, make sure that our message is terminated with a whitespace so that any message the editor may show upon starting up will be kept separate from our message. Power users might not want to see this message or their editor might already print such a message (e.g. emacsclient). Allow these users to suppress the message by disabling the "advice.waitingForEditor" config. The standard advise() function is not used here as it would always add a newline which would make deleting the message harder.

Since gitfiles were introduced in b44ebb19e (Add platform-independent .git "symlink", 2008-02-20) the order of checks during .git directory discovery is: gitfile, gitdir, bare repo.

2017-12-06diff-tree: read the index so attribute checks work in bare repositoriesBrandon Williams2-0/+19
A regression was introduced in 557a5998d (submodule: remove gitmodules_config, 2017-08-03) to how attribute processing was handled in bare repositories when running the diff-tree command. By default the attribute system will first try to read ".gitattribute" files from the working tree and then falls back to reading them from the index if there isn't a copy checked out in the worktree. Prior to 557a5998d the index was read as a side effect of the call to 'gitmodules_config()' which ensured that the index was already populated before entering the attribute subsystem. Since the call to 'gitmodules_config()' was removed the index is no longer being read so when the attribute system tries to read from the in-memory index it doesn't find any ".gitattribute" entries effectively ignoring any configured attributes. Fix this by explicitly reading the index during the setup of diff-tree.

Currently 'git worktree add <path>' creates a new branch named after the basename of the <path>, that matches the HEAD of whichever worktree we were on when calling "git worktree add <path>". It's sometimes useful to have 'git worktree add <path> behave more like the dwim machinery in 'git checkout <new-branch>', i.e. check if the new branch name, derived from the basename of the <path>, uniquely matches the branch name of a remote-tracking branch, and if so check out that branch and set the upstream to the remote-tracking branch.

Because our test suite is not about validating the working of the shell, it is pointless to test variations of how a literal string 'yes' is quoted when assigned to an environment variable.

2017-12-06t4013: prepare for upcoming "diff --raw --abbrev" output format changeAnn T Ropea1-6/+23
Most of the t4013 tests go through a list of sample command lines, and each of them is executed and its output compared with an expected one stored in t4013/ directory. Allow these lines to begin with a colon followed by magic word(s) so that test conditions can easily be tweaked. The expected use that will happen in later steps of this is to run tests expecting the traditional output and run the same test without the GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS=yes environment exported for (perhaps some of) them, which will have to expect different output. Since all of the existing tests are meant to run with the environment, use the magic word "noellipses" to cause the variable not to be set and exported. As this step does not add any new test with the magic word, all tests still run with the environment variable, expecting the traditional output, but it will change soon.

There have been a few complaints on the mailing list that git-clone doesn't respect the `submodule.recurse` setting, which every other command (that potentially knows how to deal with submodules) respects. In case of clone this is not beneficial to respect as the user may not want to obtain all submodules (assuming a pathspec of '.').

2017-12-05pathspec: only match across submodule boundaries when requestedBrandon Williams4-2/+24
Commit 74ed43711fd (grep: enable recurse-submodules to work on <tree> objects, 2016-12-16) taught 'tree_entry_interesting()' to be able to match across submodule boundaries in the presence of wildcards. This is done by performing literal matching up to the first wildcard and then punting to the submodule itself to perform more accurate pattern matching. Instead of introducing a new flag to request this behavior, commit 74ed43711fd overloaded the already existing 'recursive' flag in 'struct pathspec' to request this behavior. This leads to a bug where whenever any other caller has the 'recursive' flag set as well as a pathspec with wildcards that all submodules will be indicated as matches. One simple example of this is: git init repo cd repo git init submodule git -C submodule commit -m initial --allow-empty touch "[bracket]" git add "[bracket]" git commit -m bracket git add submodule git commit -m submodule git rev-list HEAD -- "[bracket]" Fix this by introducing the new flag 'recurse_submodules' in 'struct pathspec' and using this flag to determine if matches should be allowed to cross submodule boundaries.

2017-12-04progress: drop delay-threshold codeLars Schneider1-19/+5
Since 180a9f2268 (provide a facility for "delayed" progress reporting, 2007-04-20), the progress code has allowed callers to skip showing progress if they have reached a percentage-threshold of the total work before the delay period passes. But since 8aade107dd (progress: simplify "delayed" progress API, 2017-08-19), that parameter is not available to outside callers (we always passed zero after that commit, though that was corrected in the previous commit to "100%"). Let's drop the threshold code, which never triggers in any meaningful way. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-12-04progress: set default delay threshold to 100%, not 0%Jeff King1-1/+1
Commit 8aade107dd (progress: simplify "delayed" progress API, 2017-08-19) dropped the parameter by which callers could say "show my progress only if I haven't passed M% progress after N seconds". The intent was to just show nothing for 2 seconds, and then always progress after that. But we flipped the logic in the wrapper: it sets M=0, meaning that we'd almost _never_ show progress after 2 seconds, since we'd generally have made some progress. This should have been 100%, not 0%. We were fooled by existing calls like: start_progress_delay("foo", 0, 0, 2); which behaved this way. The trick is that the first "0" there is "how many items total", and there zero means "we don't know". And without knowing that, we cannot compute a completed percent at all, and we ignored the threshold parameter entirely! Modeling our wrapper after that broke callers which pass a non-zero value for "total". We can switch to the intended behavior by using "100" in the wrapper call.

2017-12-04sha1_file: use strbuf_add() instead of strbuf_addf()Derrick Stolee2-5/+11
Replace use of strbuf_addf() with strbuf_add() when enumerating loose objects in for_each_file_in_obj_subdir(). Since we already check the length and hex-values of the string before consuming the path, we can prevent extra computation by using the lower- level method. One consumer of for_each_file_in_obj_subdir() is the abbreviation code. OID abbreviations use a cached list of loose objects (per object subdirectory) to make repeated queries fast, but there is significant cache load time when there are many loose objects. Most repositories do not have many loose objects before repacking, but in the GVFS case the repos can grow to have millions of loose objects. Profiling 'git log' performance in GitForWindows on a GVFS-enabled repo with ~2.5 million loose objects revealed 12% of the CPU time was spent in strbuf_addf(). Add a new performance test to p4211-line-log.sh that is more sensitive to this cache-loading. By limiting to 1000 commits, we more closely resemble user wait time when reading history into a pager. For a copy of the Linux repo with two ~512 MB packfiles and ~572K loose objects, running 'git log --oneline --parents --raw -1000' had the following performance: HEAD~1 HEAD ---------------------------------------- 7.70(7.15+0.54) 7.44(7.09+0.29) -3.4% Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-12-03diffcore-rename: make diff-tree -l0 mean -l<large>Jonathan Tan2-0/+17
In the documentation of diff-tree, it is stated that the -l option "prevents rename/copy detection from running if the number of rename/copy targets exceeds the specified number". The documentation does not mention any special handling for the number 0, but the implementation before commit 9f7e4bfa3b ("diff: remove silent clamp of renameLimit", 2017-11-13) treated 0 as a special value indicating that the rename limit is to be a very large number instead. The commit 9f7e4bfa3b changed that behavior, treating 0 as 0. Revert this behavior to what it was previously. This allows existing scripts and tools that use "-l0" to continue working. The alternative (to have "-l0" suppress rename detection) is probably much less useful, since users can just refrain from specifying -M and/or -C to have the same effect.

2017-11-27merge-recursive: ignore_case shouldn't reject intentional removalsElijah Newren1-1/+1
In commit ae352c7f3 (merge-recursive.c: fix case-changing merge bug, 2014-05-01), it was observed that removing files could be problematic on case insensitive file systems, because we could end up removing files that differed in case only rather than deleting the intended file -- something that happened when files were renamed on one branch in a way that differed only in case. To avoid that problem, that commit added logic to avoid removing files other than the one intended, rejecting the removal if the files differed only in case. Unfortunately, the logic it used didn't fully implement that condition as stated above; instead it merely checked that a case-insensitive lookup of the file that was requested resulted in finding a file in the index at stage 0, not that the file found in the index actually differed in case. Alternatively, one could view the implementation as making an implicit assumption that the file we actually wanted to remove would never appear in the index with a stage of 0, and thus that if we found a file with our lookup, that it had to be a different file (but different in case only). The net result of this implementation is that it can ignore more requests than it should, leaving a file around in the working copy that should have been removed. Make sure that the file found in the index actually differs in case before silently ignoring the request to remove the file.
