The environment variable EMAIL has been honored since 28a94f8 (Fall back
to $EMAIL for missing GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL,
2007-04-28) as the end-user's wish to use the address as the identity.
When we use it, we should say we are explicitly given email by the user.

bb1ae3f (commit: Show committer if automatic, 2008-05-04) added a logic to
check both name and email were given explicitly by the end user, but it
assumed that fmt_ident() is never called before git_default_user_config()
is called, which was fragile. The former calls setup_ident() and fills
the "default" name and email, so the check in the config parser would have
mistakenly said both are given even if only user.name was provided.
Make the logic more robust by keeping track of name and email separately.

We remove crud characters at the beginning and end of real-names so that
when we see email addresses like
From: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net>
we drop the quotes around the name when we parse that and split it up into
name and email.
However, the list of crud characters was basically just a random list of
common things that are found around names, and it didn't contain the
backslash character that some insane scripts seem to use when quoting
things. So now the kernel has a number of authors listed like
Author: \"Rafael J. Wysocki\ <rjw@sisk.pl>
because the author name had started out as
From: \"Rafael J. Wysocki\" <rjw@sisk.pl>
and the only "crud" character we noticed and removed was the final
double-quote at the end.
We should probably do better quote removal from names anyway, but this is
the minimal obvious patch.

An earlier fix to the said commit was incomplete; it mixed up the
meaning of the flag parameter passed to the internal fmt_ident()
function, so this corrects it.
git_author_info() and git_committer_info() can be told to issue a
warning when no usable user information is found, and optionally can be
told to error out. Operations that actually use the information to
record a new commit or a tag will still error out, but the caller to
leave reflog record will just silently use bogus user information.
Not warning on misconfigured user information while writing a reflog
entry is somewhat debatable, but it is probably nicer to the users to
silently let it pass, because the only information you are losing is who
checked out the branch.
* git_author_info() and git_committer_info() used to take 1 (positive
int) to error out with a warning on misconfiguration; this is now
signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME.
* These functions used to take -1 (negative int) to warn but continue;
this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME.
* fmt_ident() function implements the above error reporting behaviour
common to git_author_info() and git_committer_info(). A symbolic
constant IDENT_NO_DATE can be or'ed in to the flag parameter to make
it return only the "Name <email@address.xz>".
* fmt_name() is a thin wrapper around fmt_ident() that always passes
IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME and IDENT_NO_DATE.

Introduce fmt_name() specifically meant for formatting the name and
email pair, to add signed-off-by value. This reverts parts of
13208572fb (builtin-commit: fix --signoff)
so that an empty datestamp string given to fmt_ident() by mistake will
error out as before.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The Signed-off-by: line contained a spurious timestamp. The reason was
a call to git_committer_info(1), which automatically added the
timestamp.
Instead, fmt_ident() was taught to interpret an empty string for the
date (as opposed to NULL, which still triggers the default behavior)
as "do not bother with the timestamp", and builtin-commit.c uses it.

Back when only handful commands that created commit and tag were
the only users of committer identity information, it made sense
to explicitly call setup_ident() to pre-fill the default value
from the gecos information. But it is much simpler for programs
to make the call automatic when get_ident() is called these days,
since many more programs want to use the information when updating
the reflog.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
The code that uses committer_info() in reflog can barf and die
whenever it is asked to update a ref. And I do not think
calling ignore_missing_committer_name() upfront like recent
receive-pack did in the aplication is a reasonable workaround.
What the patch does.
- git_committer_info() takes one parameter. It used to be "if
this is true, then die() if the name is not available due to
bad GECOS, otherwise issue a warning once but leave the name
empty". The reason was because we wanted to prevent bad
commits from being made by git-commit-tree (and its
callers). The value 0 is only used by "git var -l".
Now it takes -1, 0 or 1. When set to -1, it does not
complain but uses the pw->pw_name when name is not
available. Existing 0 and 1 values mean the same thing as
they used to mean before. 0 means issue warnings and leave
it empty, 1 means barf and die.
- ignore_missing_committer_name() and its existing caller
(receive-pack, to set the reflog) have been removed.
- git-format-patch, to come up with the phoney message ID when
asked to thread, now passes -1 to git_committer_info(). This
codepath uses only the e-mail part, ignoring the name. It
used to barf and die. The other call in the same program
when asked to add signed-off-by line based on committer
identity still passes 1 to make sure it barfs instead of
adding a bogus s-o-b line.
- log_ref_write in refs.c, to come up with the name to record
who initiated the ref update in the reflog, passes -1. It
used to barf and die.
The last change means that git-update-ref, git-branch, and
commit walker backends can now be used in a repository with
reflog by somebody who does not have the user identity required
to make a commit. They all used to barf and die.
I've run tests and all of them seem to pass, and also tried "git
clone" as a user whose GECOS is empty -- git clone works again
now (it was broken when reflog was enabled by default).
But this definitely needs extra sets of eyeballs.

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

If GIT_COMMITTER_NAME is not available in receive-pack but reflogs
are enabled we would normally die out with an error message asking
the user to correct their environment settings.
Now that reflogs are enabled by default in (what we guessed to be)
non-bare Git repositories this may cause problems for some users
who don't have their full name in the gecos field and who don't
have access to the remote system to correct the problem.
So rather than die()'ing out in receive-pack when we try to log a
ref change and have no committer name we default to the username,
as obtained from the host's password database.

This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing. This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.
The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately. And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.
In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.
It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.
