The documentation added in fa655d8411 ("checkout: optimize "git
checkout -b <new_branch>"", 2018-08-16) didn't add the double-colon
needed for the labeled list separator, as a result the added
documentation all got squashed into one paragraph. Fix that by adding
the list separator.

clean""
This reverts commit 6f924265a0bf6efa677e9a684cebdde958e5ba06, which
started to require that we have an executable git available in order
to say "make clean", which gives us a chicken-and-egg problem.
Having to have Git installed, or be in a repository, in order to be
able to run an optional "doc-diff" tool is fine. Requiring either
in order to run "make clean" is a different story.

The commit 40ce4160 "format-patch: allow --range-diff to apply to
a lone-patch" added the ability to see a range-diff as commentary
after the commit message of a single patch series (i.e. [PATCH]
instead of [PATCH X/N]). However, this functionality was not
covered by a test case.
Add a simple test case that checks that a range-diff is written as
commentary to the patch.

This reverts commit 7e25437d35a70791b345872af202eabfb3e1a8bc, reversing
changes made to 00624d608cc69bd62801c93e74d1ea7a7ddd6598.
v2.19.0-rc0~165^2~1 (submodule: ensure core.worktree is set after
update, 2018-06-18) assumes an "absorbed" submodule layout, where the
submodule's Git directory is in the superproject's .git/modules/
directory and .git in the submodule worktree is a .git file pointing
there. In particular, it uses $GIT_DIR/modules/$name to find the
submodule to find out whether it already has core.worktree set, and it
uses connect_work_tree_and_git_dir if not, resulting in
fatal: could not open sub/.git for writing
The context behind that patch: v2.19.0-rc0~165^2~2 (submodule: unset
core.worktree if no working tree is present, 2018-06-12) unsets
core.worktree when running commands like "git checkout
--recurse-submodules" to switch to a branch without the submodule. If
a user then uses "git checkout --no-recurse-submodules" to switch back
to a branch with the submodule and runs "git submodule update", this
patch is needed to ensure that commands using the submodule directly
are aware of the path to the worktree.
It is late in the release cycle, so revert the whole 3-patch series.
We can try again later for 2.20.

According to RFC3875, empty environment variable is equivalent to unset,
and for CONTENT_LENGTH it should mean zero body to read.
However, unset CONTENT_LENGTH is also used for chunked encoding to indicate
reading until EOF. At least, the test "large fetch-pack requests can be split
across POSTs" from t5551 starts faliing, if unset or empty CONTENT_LENGTH is
treated as zero length body. So keep the existing behavior as much as possible.
Add a test for the case.

We avoid re-creating our temporary worktree if it's already
there. But we may run into a situation where the worktree
has been deleted, but an entry still exists in
$GIT_DIR/worktrees.
Older versions of git-worktree would annoyingly create a
series of duplicate entries. Recent versions now detect and
prevent this, allowing you to override with "-f". Since we
know that the worktree in question was just our temporary
workspace, it's safe for us to always pass "-f".

We provide a reopen_tempfile() function, which is in turn
used by reopen_lockfile(). The idea is that a caller may
want to rewrite the tempfile without letting go of the lock.
And that's what our one caller does: after running
add--interactive, "commit -p" will update the cache-tree
extension of the index and write out the result, all while
holding the lock.
However, because we open the file with only the O_WRONLY
flag, the existing index content is left in place, and we
overwrite it starting at position 0. If the new index after
updating the cache-tree is smaller than the original, those
final bytes are not overwritten and remain in the file. This
results in a corrupt index, since those cruft bytes are
interpreted as part of the trailing hash (or even as an
extension, if there are enough bytes).
This bug actually pre-dates reopen_tempfile(); the original
code from 9c4d6c0297 (cache-tree: Write updated cache-tree
after commit, 2014-07-13) has the same bug, and those lines
were eventually refactored into the tempfile module. Nobody
noticed until now for two reasons:
- the bug can only be triggered in interactive mode
("commit -p" or "commit -i")
- the size of the index must shrink after updating the
cache-tree, which implies a non-trivial deletion. Notice
that the included test actually has to create a 2-deep
hierarchy. A single level is not enough to actually cause
shrinkage.
The fix is to truncate the file before writing out the
second index. We can do that at the caller by using
ftruncate(). But we shouldn't have to do that. There is no
other place in Git where we want to open a file and
overwrite bytes, making reopen_tempfile() a confusing and
error-prone interface. Let's pass O_TRUNC there, which gives
callers the same state they had after initially opening the
file or lock.
It's possible that we could later add a caller that wants
something else (e.g., to open with O_APPEND). But this is
the only caller we've had in the history of the codebase.
Let's punt on doing anything more clever until another one
comes along.

This function only compiles when DEBUG_BISECT is 1, which is often not
the case. As a result there are two commits [1] [2] that break it but
the breakages went unnoticed because the code did not compile by
default. Update the function and include the new header file to make this
function build again.
In order to stop this from happening again, the function is now
compiled unconditionally but exits early unless DEBUG_BISECT is
non-zero. A smart compiler generates no extra code (not even a
function call). But even if it does not, this function does not seem
to be in a hot path that the extra cost becomes a big problem.

When an interactive rebase was stopped at the end of a fixup/squash
chain, the user might have edited the commit manually before continuing
(with either `git rebase --skip` or `git rebase --continue`, it does not
really matter which).
We need to be very careful to wrap up the fixup/squash chain also in
this scenario: otherwise the next fixup/squash chain would try to pick
up where the previous one was left.

The `git commit --squash` command can be used not only to amend commit
messages and changes, but also to record notes for an upcoming rebase.
For example, when the author information of a given commit is incorrect,
a user might call `git commit --allow-empty -m "Fix author" --squash
<commit>`, to remind them to fix that during the rebase. When the editor
would pop up, the user would simply delete the commit message to abort
the rebase at this stage, fix the author information, and continue with
`git rebase --skip`. (This is a real-world example from the rebase of
Git for Windows onto v2.19.0-rc1.)
However, there is a bug in `git rebase` that will cause the squash
message *not* to be forgotten in this case. It will therefore be reused
in the next fixup/squash chain (if any).
This patch adds a test case to demonstrate this breakage.

In the early days of the bitmap code, there was a single
static bitmap_index struct that was used behind the scenes,
and any bitmap-related functions could lazily check
bitmap_git.loaded to see if they needed to read the on-disk
data.
But since 3ae5fa0768 (pack-bitmap: remove bitmap_git global
variable, 2018-06-07), the caller is responsible for the
lifetime of the bitmap_index struct, and we return it from
prepare_bitmap_git() and prepare_bitmap_walk(), both of
which load the on-disk data (or return NULL).
So outside of these functions, it's not possible to have a
bitmap_index for which the loaded flag is not true. Nor is
it possible to accidentally pass an already-loaded
bitmap_index to the loading function (which is static-local
to the file).
We can drop this unnecessary and confusing flag.

Since it was introduced in fff42755ef (pack-bitmap: add
support for bitmap indexes, 2013-12-21), this function has
freed the result after traversing it. That is an artifact of
the early days of the bitmap code, when we had a single
static "struct bitmap_index". Back then, it was intended
that you would do:
prepare_bitmap_walk(&revs);
traverse_bitmap_commit_list(&revs);
Since the actual bitmap_index struct was totally behind the
scenes, it was convenient for traverse_bitmap_commit_list()
to clean it up, clearing the way for another traversal.
But since 3ae5fa0768 (pack-bitmap: remove bitmap_git global
variable, 2018-06-07), the caller explicitly manages the
bitmap_index struct itself, like this:
b = prepare_bitmap_walk(&revs);
traverse_bitmap_commit_list(b, &revs);
free_bitmap_index(b);
It no longer makes sense to auto-free the result after the
traversal. If you want to do another traversal, you'd just
create a new bitmap_index. And while nobody tries to call
traverse_bitmap_commit_list() twice, the fact that it throws
away the result might be surprising, and is better avoided.
Note that in the "old" way it was possible for two walks to
amortize the cost of opening the on-disk .bitmap file (since
it was stored in the global bitmap_index), but we lost that
in 3ae5fa0768. However, no code actually does this, so it's
not worth addressing now. The solution might involve a new:
reset_bitmap_walk(b, &revs);
call. Or we might even attach the bitmap data to its
matching packed_git struct, so that multiple
prepare_bitmap_walk() calls could use it. That can wait
until somebody actually has need of the optimization (and
until then, we'll do the correct, unsurprising thing).

Commit 6a1e32d532 (pack-objects: reuse on-disk deltas for
thin "have" objects, 2018-08-21) taught pack-objects a new
optimization trick. Since this wasn't meant to change
user-visible behavior, but only produce smaller packs more
quickly, testing focused on t/perf/p5311.
However, since people don't run perf tests very often, we
should make sure that the feature is exercised in the
regular test suite. This patch does so.

Commit 30cdc33fba (pack-bitmap: save "have" bitmap from
walk, 2018-08-21) introduced a new function for looking at
the "have" side of a bitmap walk. Because it only makes
sense to do so after we've finished the walk, we added an
extra safety assertion, making sure that bitmap_git->result
is non-NULL.
However, this safety is misguided. It was trying to catch
the case where we had called prepare_bitmap_walk() to give
us a "struct bitmap_index", but had not yet called
traverse_bitmap_commit_list() to walk it. But all of the
interesting computation (including setting up the result and
"have" bitmaps) happens in the first function! The latter
function only delivers the result to a callback function.
So the case we were worried about is impossible; if you get
a non-NULL result from prepare_bitmap_walk(), then its
"have" field will be fully formed.
But much worse, traverse_bitmap_commit_list() actually frees
the result field as it finishes. Which means that this
assertion is worse than useless: it's almost guaranteed to
trigger!
Our test suite didn't catch this because the function isn't
actually exercised at all. The only caller comes from
6a1e32d532 (pack-objects: reuse on-disk deltas for thin
"have" objects, 2018-08-21), and that's triggered only when
you fetch or push history that contains an object with a
base that is found deep in history. Our test suite fetches
and pushes either don't use bitmaps, or use too-small
example repositories. But any reasonably-sized real-world
push or fetch (with bitmaps) would trigger this.
This patch drops the harmful assertion and tweaks the
docstring for the function to make the precondition clear.
The tests need to be improved to exercise this new
pack-objects feature, but we'll do that in a separate
commit.

Change "fetch" to treat "+" in refspecs (aka --force) to mean we
should clobber a local tag of the same name.
This changes the long-standing behavior of "fetch" added in
853a3697dc ("[PATCH] Multi-head fetch.", 2005-08-20). Before this
change, all tag fetches effectively had --force enabled. See the
git-fetch-script code in fast_forward_local() with the comment:
> Tags need not be pointing at commits so there is no way to
> guarantee "fast-forward" anyway.
That commit and the rest of the history of "fetch" shows that the
"+" (--force) part of refpecs was only conceived for branch updates,
while tags have accepted any changes from upstream unconditionally and
clobbered the local tag object. Changing this behavior has been
discussed as early as 2011[1].
The current behavior doesn't make sense to me, it easily results in
local tags accidentally being clobbered. We could namespace our tags
per-remote and not locally populate refs/tags/*, but as with my
97716d217c ("fetch: add a --prune-tags option and fetch.pruneTags
config", 2018-02-09) it's easier to work around the current
implementation than to fix the root cause.
So this change implements suggestion #1 from Jeff's 2011 E-Mail[1],
"fetch" now only clobbers the tag if either "+" is provided as part of
the refspec, or if "--force" is provided on the command-line.
This also makes it nicely symmetrical with how "tag" itself works when
creating tags. I.e. we refuse to clobber any existing tags unless
"--force" is supplied. Now we can refuse all such clobbering, whether
it would happen by clobbering a local tag with "tag", or by fetching
it from the remote with "fetch".
Ref updates outside refs/{tags,heads/* are still still not symmetrical
with how "git push" works, as discussed in the recently changed
pull-fetch-param.txt documentation. This change brings the two
divergent behaviors more into line with one another. I don't think
there's any reason "fetch" couldn't fully converge with the behavior
used by "push", but that's a topic for another change.
One of the tests added in 31b808a032 ("clone --single: limit the fetch
refspec to fetched branch", 2012-09-20) is being changed to use
--force where a clone would clobber a tag. This changes nothing about
the existing behavior of the test.

Refer to the new git-push(1) documentation about when ref updates are
and aren't allowed with and without --force, noting how "git-fetch"
differs from the behavior of "git-push".
Perhaps it would be better to split this all out into a new
gitrefspecs(7) man page, or present this information using tables.
In lieu of that, this is accurate, and fixes a big omission in the

There's complex rules governing whether a push is allowed to take
place depending on whether we're pushing to refs/heads/*, refs/tags/*
or refs/not-that/*. See is_branch() in refs.c, and the various
assertions in refs/files-backend.c. (e.g. "trying to write non-commit
object %s to branch '%s'").
This documentation has never been quite correct, but went downhill
after dbfeddb12e ("push: require force for refs under refs/tags/",
2012-11-29) when we started claiming that <dst> couldn't be a tag
object, which is incorrect. After some of the logic in that patch was
changed in 256b9d70a4 ("push: fix "refs/tags/ hierarchy cannot be
updated without --force"", 2013-01-16) the docs weren't updated, and
we've had some version of documentation that confused whether <src>
was a tag or not with whether <dst> would accept either an annotated
tag object or the commit it points to.
This makes the intro somewhat more verbose & complex, perhaps we
should have a shorter description here and split the full complexity
into a dedicated section. Very few users will find themselves needing
to e.g. push blobs or trees to refs/custom-namespace/* (or blobs or
trees at all), and that could be covered separately as an advanced
topic.

Saying that "git push <remote> <src>:<dst>" won't push a merger of

so mentioning it is redundant, furthermore the mention of "EXAMPLES

This phrase was originally added in 149f6ddfb3 ("Docs: Expand

can be seen in that change the point of the example being cited was to

OLD_ICONV has long been needed by FreeBSD so config.mak.uname defines
it unconditionally. However, recent versions do not need it, and its
presence results in compilation warnings. Resolve this issue by defining
OLD_ICONV only for older FreeBSD versions.
Specifically, revision r281550[1], which is part of FreeBSD 11, removed
the need for OLD_ICONV, and r282275[2] back-ported that change to 10.2.
Versions prior to 10.2 do need it.

doc-diff creates a temporary working tree (git-worktree) and generates a
bunch of temporary files which it does not remove since they act as a
cache to speed up subsequent runs. Although doc-diff's working tree and
generated files are not strictly build products of the Makefile (which,
itself, never runs doc-diff), as a convenience, update "make clean" to
clean up doc-diff's working tree and generated files along with other

As part of its operation, doc-diff creates a bunch of temporary
working files and holds onto them in order to speed up subsequent
invocations. These files are never deleted. Moreover, it creates a
temporary working tree (via git-wortkree) which likewise never gets
removed.
Without knowing the implementation details of the tool, a user may not
know how to clean up manually afterward. Worse, the user may find it
surprising and alarming to discover a working tree which s/he did not
create explicitly.
To address these issues, add a --clean mode which removes the

doc-diff invokes 'man' with the -l option to force "local" mode,
however, neither MacOS nor FreeBSD recognize this option. On those
platforms, if the argument to 'man' contains a slash, it is
automatically interpreted as a file specification, so a "local"-like
mode is not needed. And, it turns out, 'man' which does support -l
falls back to enabling -l automatically if it can't otherwise find a
manual entry corresponding to the argument. Since doc-diff always
passes an absolute path of the nroff source file to 'man', the -l
option kicks in anyhow, despite not being specified explicitly.
Therefore, make the invocation portable to the various platforms by
simply dropping -l.

The previous commit switched "-l" to meaning "--list", but a
few vestiges of its prior meaning as "--create-reflog"
remained:
- the synopsis mentioned "-l" when creating a new branch;
we can drop this entirely, as it has been the default
for years
- the --list command mentions the unfortunate "-l"
confusion, but we've now fixed that

The exact byte count of the delta base file is important.
The test-delta helper will feed it to patch_delta(), which
will barf if it doesn't match the size byte given in the
delta. Using "echo" may end up with unexpected line endings
on some platforms (e.g,. "\r\n" instead of just "\n").
This actually wouldn't cause the test to fail (since we
already expect test-delta to complain about these bogus
deltas), but would mean that we're not exercising the code
we think we are.
Let's use printf instead (which we already trust to give us
byte-perfect output when we generate the deltas).
While we're here, let's tighten the 5-byte result size used
in the "truncated copy parameters" test. This just needs to
have enough room to attempt to parse the bogus copy command,
meaning 2 is sufficient. Using 5 was arbitrary and just
copied from the base size; since those no longer match, it's
simply confusing. Let's use a more meaningful number.

In 3afc679b "commit: use generations in paint_down_to_common()",
the queue in paint_down_to_common() was changed to use a priority
order based on generation number before commit date. This served
two purposes:
1. When generation numbers are present, the walk guarantees
correct topological relationships, regardless of clock skew in
commit dates.
2. It enables short-circuiting the walk when the min_generation
parameter is added in d7c1ec3e "commit: add short-circuit to
paint_down_to_common()". This short-circuit helps commands
like 'git branch --contains' from needing to walk to a merge
base when we know the result is false.
The commit message for 3afc679b includes the following sentence:
This change does not affect the number of commits that are
walked during the execution of paint_down_to_common(), only
the order that those commits are inspected.
This statement is incorrect. Because it changes the order in which
the commits are inspected, it changes the order they are added to
the queue, and hence can change the number of loops before the
queue_has_nonstale() method returns true.
This change makes a concrete difference depending on the topology
of the commit graph. For instance, computing the merge-base between
consecutive versions of the Linux kernel has no effect for versions
after v4.9, but 'git merge-base v4.8 v4.9' presents a performance
regression:
v2.18.0: 0.122s
v2.19.0-rc1: 0.547s
HEAD: 0.127s
To determine that this was simply an ordering issue, I inserted
a counter within the while loop of paint_down_to_common() and
found that the loop runs 167,468 times in v2.18.0 and 635,579
times in v2.19.0-rc1.
The topology of this case can be described in a simplified way
here:
v4.9
| \
| \
v4.8 \
| \ \
| \ |
... A B
| / /
| / /
|/__/
C
Here, the "..." means "a very long line of commits". By generation
number, A and B have generation one more than C. However, A and B
have commit date higher than most of the commits reachable from
v4.8. When the walk reaches v4.8, we realize that it has PARENT1
and PARENT2 flags, so everything it can reach is marked as STALE,
including A. B has only the PARENT1 flag, so is not STALE.
When paint_down_to_common() is run using
compare_commits_by_commit_date, A and B are removed from the queue
early and C is inserted into the queue. At this point, C and the
rest of the queue entries are marked as STALE. The loop then
terminates.
When paint_down_to_common() is run using
compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date, B is removed from the
queue only after the many commits reachable from v4.8 are explored.
This causes the loop to run longer. The reason for this regression
is simple: the queue order is intended to not explore a commit
until everything that _could_ reach that commit is explored. From
the information gathered by the original ordering, we have no
guarantee that there is not a commit D reachable from v4.8 that
can also reach B. We gained absolute correctness in exchange for
a performance regression.
The performance regression is probably the worse option, since
these incorrect results in paint_down_to_common() are rare. The
topology required for the performance regression are less rare,
but still require multiple merge commits where the parents differ
greatly in generation number. In our example above, the commit A
is as important as the commit B to demonstrate the problem, since
otherwise the commit C will sit in the queue as non-stale just as
long in both orders.
The solution provided uses the min_generation parameter to decide
if we should use generation numbers in our ordering. When
min_generation is equal to zero, it means that the caller has no
known cutoff for the walk, so we should rely on our commit-date
heuristic as before; this is the case with merge_bases_many().
When min_generation is non-zero, then the caller knows a valuable
cutoff for the short-circuit mechanism; this is the case with
remove_redundant() and in_merge_bases_many().

When we see a delta command instructing us to copy bytes
from the base, we have to read the offset and size from the
delta stream. We do this without checking whether we're at
the end of the stream, meaning we may read past the end of
the buffer.
In practice this isn't exploitable in any interesting way
because:
1. Deltas are always in packfiles, so we have at least a
20-byte trailer that we'll end up reading.
2. The worst case is that we try to perform a nonsense
copy from the base object into the result, based on
whatever was in the pack stream next. In most cases
this will simply fail due to our bounds-checks against
the base or the result.
But even if you carefully constructed a pack stream for
which it succeeds, it wouldn't perform any delta
operation that you couldn't have simply included in a
non-broken form.
But obviously it's poor form to read past the end of the
buffer we've been given. Unfortunately there's no easy way
to do a single length check, since the number of bytes we
need depends on the number of bits set in the initial
command byte. So we'll just check each byte as we parse. We
can hide the complexity in a macro; it's ugly, but not as
ugly as writing out each individual conditional.

When applying a delta, if we see an opcode that cannot be
fulfilled (e.g., asking to write more bytes than the
destination has left), we break out of our parsing loop but
don't signal an explicit error. We rely on the sanity check
after the loop to see if we have leftover delta bytes or
didn't fill our result buffer.
This can silently ignore corruption when the delta buffer
ends with a bogus command and the destination buffer is
already full. Instead, let's jump into the error handler
directly when we see this case.
Note that the tests also cover the "bad opcode" case, which
already handles this correctly.

If `cmd` is in the range [0x01,0x7f] and `cmd > top-data`, the
`memcpy(out, data, cmd)` can copy out-of-bounds data from after `delta_buf`
into `dst_buf`.
This is not an exploitable bug because triggering the bug increments the
`data` pointer beyond `top`, causing the `data != top` sanity check after
the loop to trigger and discard the destination buffer - which means that
the result of the out-of-bounds read is never used for anything.
