Jeff King 9130ac9fe1 rev-list: handle %x00 NUL in user format
The code paths for showing commits in "git log" and "git
rev-list --graph" correctly handle embedded NULs by looking
only at the resulting strbuf's length, and never treating it
as a C string. The code path for regular rev-list, however,
used printf("%s"), which resulted in truncated output. This
patch uses fwrite instead, like the --graph code path.

Andreas Köhler 33f072f891 submodule sync: Update "submodule.<name>.url" for empty directories
If a submodule directory has not been filled by "git submodule update"
yet, then "git submodule sync" must still update the super-project's
configuration for submodule.<name>.url.

This situation occurs when switching between branches with a module from
different urls and other branches without the submodule.

Anders Kaseorg a1980c4efc apply: Recognize epoch timestamps with : in the timezone
Some patches have a timezone formatted like ‘-08:00’ instead of
‘-0800’ (e.g. http://lwn.net/Articles/131729/), so git apply would
fail to recognize the epoch timestamp of deleted files and would
create empty files instead.  Teach it to support both formats, and add
a test case.

René Scharfe b90d9b8895 work around buggy S_ISxxx(m) implementations
There are buggy implementations of S_ISxxx(m) macros on some platforms
(e.g. NetBSD).  The issue is that NetBSD doesn't take care to wrap its
macro arguments in parentheses, so on Linux and sane systems we have
S_ISREG(m) defined as something like:

    (((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG)

But on NetBSD:

    ((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG)

Since a caller in builtin/diff.c called our macro as `S_IFREG | 0644'
this bug introduced a logic error on NetBSD, since the precedence of
bit-wise & is higher than | in C.

Jonathan Nieder 349362cc20 xdiff: cast arguments for ctype functions to unsigned char
The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer
argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF.  On
platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them
without casting it to unsigned char first.

Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype
implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc
ctype.h, ought to be fixed.

Jonathan Nieder 06f3549d71 setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent buffer
If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery
sequence and .git is a file with the text

	gitdir: <path>

(with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to
the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using
make_absolute_path().

Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static
buffer that is overwritten by later calls.  Such a call could cause
later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read
the wrong path, leaving git very confused.

It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the
problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the
return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.

René Scharfe c099789bb0 diff: avoid repeated scanning while looking for funcname
For each hunk, xdl_find_func searches the preimage for a function name
until the beginning of the file. If the file does not contain any
function names, this search has complexity O(n^2) in the number of

Instead, inline xdl_find_func() and keep track of up to which line we
have scanned already and the contents of the last funcname line that
we have found.

Kirill Smelkov ab3b7b9a6e blame,cat-file: Demonstrate --textconv is wrongly running converter on symlinks
git blame --textconv is wrongly calling the textconv filter on
symlinks: symlinks are stored as blobs whose content is the target of
the link, and blame calls the textconv filter on a temporary file
filled-in with the content of this blob.

For example:

    $ git blame -C -C regular-file.pdf
    Error: May not be a PDF file (continuing anyway)
    Error: PDF file is damaged - attempting to reconstruct xref table...
    Error: Couldn't find trailer dictionary
    Error: Couldn't read xref table
    Warning: program returned non-zero exit code #1
    fatal: unable to read files to diff

That errors come from pdftotext run on symlink.pdf being extracted to
/tmp/ with one-line plain-text content pointing to link destination.

So several failures are demonstrated here:

  - git cat-file --textconv :symlink.bin    # also HEAD:symlink.bin
  - git blame --textconv symlink.bin
  - git blame -C -C --textconv regular-file # but also looks on symlink.bin

At present they all fail with something like.

    E: /tmp/j3ELEs_symlink.bin is not "binary" file

NOTE: git diff doesn't try to textconv the pathnames, it runs the
textual diff without textconv, which is the expected behavior.

convert with "bin:", and let the helper die if "bin:" is not found in
the file content.

NOTE: I've changed $@ to $1 in helper becase textconv program "should
take a single argument" (see Documentation/gitattributes.txt), so
making this more explicit makes sense and also helps to avoid
problems with feeding arguments to echo.

Jan Krüger 5c47e1c7c5 repack: add -F flag to let user choose between --no-reuse-delta/object
In 479b56ba ('make "repack -f" imply "pack-objects --no-reuse-object"'),
git repack -f was changed to include recompressing all objects on the
zlib level on the assumption that if the user wants to spend that much
time already, some more time won't hurt (and recompressing is useful if
the user changed the zlib compression level).

However, "some more time" can be quite long with very big repositories,
so some users are going to appreciate being able to choose. If we are
going to give them the choice, --no-reuse-object will probably be
interesting a lot less frequently than --no-reuse-delta. Hence, this
reverts -f to the old behaviour (--no-reuse-delta) and adds a new -F
option that replaces the current -f.

Measurements taken using this patch on a current clone of git.git
indicate a 17% decrease in time being made available to users:

git repack -Adf  34.84s user 0.56s system 145% cpu 24.388 total

Change the Perl scripts to turn on lexical warnings instead of setting
the global $^W variable via the -w switch.

The -w sets warnings for all code that interpreter runs, while "use
warnings" is lexically scoped. The former is probably not what the
authors wanted.

As an auxiliary benefit it's now possible to build Git with:

    PERL_PATH='/usr/bin/env perl'

Which would previously result in failures, since "#!/usr/bin/env perl -w"
doesn't work as a shebang.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason d48b284183 perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]
Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already
used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but
t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2.

However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since
it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open
syntax:

    sub run_cmd_pipe {
           my $fh = undef;
           open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
           return <$fh>;
    }

Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as
filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even
more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1):

    t2016-checkout-patch.sh
    t3904-stash-patch.sh
    t3701-add-interactive.sh
    t7105-reset-patch.sh
    t7501-commit.sh
    t9700-perl-git.sh

Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and
pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using
useful features introduced in the 5.8 release.

The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance
release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.

All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or
a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX
Solaris and Tru64 systems.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason b3457afc4f Makefile: add CC to TRACK_CFLAGS
Change the git make process so that everything's rebuilt if the CC is
changed. Before we wouldn't rebuilt if e.g. the CC variable was
changed from gcc to clang.
