Git has difficulties on file systems that do not properly
distinguish case or modify filenames in unexpected ways. The two
major examples are Windows and Mac OS X. Both systems preserve
case of file names but do not distinguish between filenames that
differ only by case. Simple operations such as "git mv" or
"git merge" can fail unexpectedly. In addition, Mac OS X normalizes
unicode, which make git's life even harder.
This commit adds tests that currently fail but should pass if
file system as decribed above are fully supported. The test need
to be run on Windows and Mac X as they already pass on Linux.
Mitch Tishmack is the original author of the tests for unicode
normalization.

In my use cases, "cvs status" sometimes reordered the passed filenames,
which often led to a misdetection of a dirty state (when it was in
reality a clean state).
I finally tracked it down to two filenames having the same basename.
So no longer trust the order of the results blindly, but actually check
the file name.
Since "cvs status" only returns the basename (and the complete path on the
server which is useless for our purposes), run "cvs status" several times
with lists consisting of files with unique (chomped) basenames.
Be a bit clever about new files: these are reported as "no file <blabla>",
so in order to discern it from existing files, prepend "no file " to the
basename.
In other words, one call to "cvs status" will not ask for two files
"blabla" (which does not yet exist) and "no file blabla" (which exists).
This patch makes cvsexportcommit slightly slower, when the list of changed
files has non-unique basenames, but at least it is accurate now.

Write errors when repacking (eg, due to out-of-space conditions)
can leave temporary packs (and possibly other files beginning

These can also be multi-megabyte files wasting noticeable space.
Unfortunately there's no way to definitely tell in builtin-prune
that a tmp_ file is not being used by a concurrent process,
such as a fetch. However, it is documented that pruning should
only be done on a quiet repository and --expire is honoured
(using code from Johannes Schindelin, along with a test case

CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.
If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
git that this file is binary and git will handle the file
appropriately.
Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.
This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about
an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The
mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the
following values:
- false: disable safecrlf mechanism
- warn: warn about irreversible conversions
- true: refuse irreversible conversions
The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default
if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to
leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless
they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism.
The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The
general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are:
- we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an
irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the
original file.
- for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree
we do not not print annoying warnings.
There are exceptions. Even though...
- "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the
next checkout would, so the safety triggers;
- "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files
in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF
conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the
safety does not trigger;
- "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is
often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To
catch potential problems early, safety triggers.
The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar
way by Linus Torvalds. Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting
on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right.

The prepare-commit-msg hook is run whenever a "fresh" commit message
is prepared, just before it is shown in the editor (if it is).
Its purpose is to modify the commit message in-place.
It takes one to three parameters. The first is the name of the file that
the commit log message. The second is the source of the commit message,
and can be: "message" (if a -m or -F option was given); "template" (if a
-t option was given or the configuration option commit.template is set);
"merge" (if the commit is a merge or a .git/MERGE_MSG file exists);
"squash" (if a .git/SQUASH_MSG file exists); or "commit", followed by
a commit SHA1 as the third parameter (if a -c, -C or --amend option
was given).
If its exit status is non-zero, git-commit will abort. The hook is
not suppressed by the --no-verify option, so it should not be used
as a replacement for the pre-commit hook.
The sample prepare-commit-msg comments out the `Conflicts:` part of
a merge's commit message; other examples are commented out, including
adding a Signed-off-by line at the bottom of the commit messsage,
that the user can then edit or discard altogether.

A pattern "foo/" in the exclude list did not match directory

file or a symbolic link "foo". In order to differentiate a
directory and non directory, this passes down the type of path

A downside is that the recursive directory walk may need to run
lstat(2) more often on systems whose "struct dirent" do not give
the type of the entry; earlier it did not have to do so for an
excluded path, but we now need to figure out if a path is a
directory before deciding to exclude it. This is especially bad
because an idea similar to the earlier CE_UPTODATE optimization
to reduce number of lstat(2) calls would by definition not apply
to the codepaths involved, as (1) directories will not be
registered in the index, and (2) excluded paths will not be in

The prefix_path() function called from get_pathspec() is
responsible for translating list of user-supplied pathspecs to
list of pathspecs that is relative to the root of the work
tree. When working inside a subdirectory, the user-supplied
pathspecs are taken to be relative to the current subdirectory.
Among special path components in pathspecs, we used to accept
and interpret only "." ("the directory", meaning a no-op) and
".." ("up one level") at the beginning. Everything else was
passed through as-is.
For example, if you are in Documentation/ directory of the
project, you can name Documentation/howto/maintain-git.txt as:
howto/maintain-git.txt
../Documentation/howto/maitain-git.txt
../././Documentation/howto/maitain-git.txt
but not as:
howto/./maintain-git.txt
$(pwd)/howto/maintain-git.txt
This patch updates prefix_path() in several ways:
- If the pathspec is not absolute, prefix (i.e. the current
subdirectory relative to the root of the work tree, with
terminating slash, if not empty) and the pathspec is
concatenated first and used in the next step. Otherwise,
that absolute pathspec is used in the next step.
- Then special path components "." (no-op) and ".." (up one
level) are interpreted to simplify the path. It is an error
to have too many ".." to cause the intermediate result to
step outside of the input to this step.
- If the original pathspec was not absolute, the result from
the previous step is the resulting "sanitized" pathspec.
Otherwise, the result from the previous step is still
absolute, and it is an error if it does not begin with the
directory that corresponds to the root of the work tree. The
directory is stripped away from the result and is returned.
- In any case, the resulting pathspec in the array
get_pathspec() returns omit the ones that caused errors.
With this patch, the last two examples also behave as expected.

When you have more than one patch series, an earlier one of which
tries to introduce whitespace breakages and a later one of which
has such a new line in its context, "git-apply --whitespace=fix"
will apply and fix the whitespace breakages in the earlier one,
making the resulting file not to match the context of the later
patch.
A short demonstration is in the new test, t4125.
For example, suppose the first patch is:
diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt
--- a/hello.txt
+++ b/hello.txt

to fix broken case in the string, but it introduces unwanted
trailing whitespaces to the result (pretend you are looking at
"cat -e" output of the patch --- '$' signs are not in the patch
but are shown to make the EOL stand out). And the second patch
is to change the wording of the greeting further:
diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt
--- a/hello.txt
+++ b/hello.txt
@@ -18,5 +18,5 @@

If you apply the first one with --whitespace=fix, you will get
this as the result:
Hello world.$
How are you$
today?$
and this does not match the preimage of the second patch, which
demands extra whitespace after "How are you" and "today?".
This series is about teaching "git apply --whitespace=fix" to
cope with this situation better. If the patch does not apply,
it rewrites the second patch like this and retries:
diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt

+++ b/hello.txt
@@ -18,5 +18,5 @@

This is done by rewriting the preimage lines in the hunk
(i.e. the lines that begin with ' ' or '-'), using the same
whitespace fixing rules as it is using to apply the patches, so
that it can notice what it did to the previous ones in the
series.
A careful reader may notice that the first patch in the example
did not touch the "Greetings" line, so the trailing whitespace
that is in the original preimage of the second patch is not from
the series. Is rewriting this context line a problem?
If you think about it, you will realize that the reason for the
difference is because the submitter's tree was based on an
earlier version of the file that had whitespaces wrong on that
"Greetings" line, and the change that introduced the "Greetings"
line was added independently of this two-patch series to our
tree already with an earlier "git apply --whitespace=fix".
So it may appear this logic is rewriting too much, it is not
so. It is just rewriting what we would have rewritten in the
past.

Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:
test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'
And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.
This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:
test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'
test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:

This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

We only care about getting what should be an empty string and
sending it to a file, without a trailing LF, so the empty string
translates into a 0 byte file. Earlier when I originally wrote
these lines Mac OS X allowed the format string of printf to be
the empty string, but more recent versions appear to have been
'improved' with error messages if the format is not given.
This may cause problems if we ever wind up with changes to the hook
tests. A minor cleanup makes the test more safe on all systems,
by conforming to accepted printf conventions.

This accompanies c5b09feb78 (Avoid
update hook during git-rebase --interactive) to make sure that
any regression to make Debian's Bug#458782 (git-core: git-rebase
doesn't work when trying to squash changes into commits created
with --no-verify) resurface will be caught.
