Some versions of strlen use SSE to speed up the calculation and load 4
bytes at a time, even if it means reading past the end of the
allocated memory. This read is safe and when the strlen function is
inlined, it is not replaced by valgrind, which reports a
false-possitive.
Tell valgrind to ignore this particular error, as the read is, in
fact, safe. Current upstream-released version 3.6.1 is affected. Some
distributions have this fixed in their latest versions.

Hence "--max-count=10 -Sfoo" meant "examine the 10 first revisions, and

Tweak the GETTEXT_POISON facility so it is activated at run time
instead of compile time. If the GIT_GETTEXT_POISON environment
variable is set, _(msg) will result in gibberish as before; but if the
GIT_GETTEXT_POISON variable is not set, it will return the message for
human-readable output. So the behavior of mistranslated and
untranslated git can be compared without rebuilding git in between.
For simplicity we always set the GIT_GETTEXT_POISON variable in tests.
This does not affect builds without the GETTEXT_POISON compile-time

Add a new GETTEXT_POISON compile-time parameter to make _(msg) always
return gibberish. So now you can run
make GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease
to get a copy of git that functions correctly (one hopes) but produces
output that is in nobody's native language at all.
This is a debugging aid for people who are working on the i18n part of
the system, to make sure that they are not marking plumbing messages
that should never be translated with _().
As new strings get marked for translation, naturally a number of tests
will be broken in this mode. Tests that depend on output from
Porcelain will need to be marked with the new C_LOCALE_OUTPUT test
prerequisite. Newly failing tests that do not depend on output from
Porcelain would be bugs due to messages that should not have been
marked for translation.
Note that the string we're using ("# GETTEXT POISON #") intentionally
starts the pound sign. Some of Git's tests such as
t3404-rebase-interactive.sh rely on interactive editing with a fake
editor, and will needlessly break if the message doesn't start with
something the interactive editor considers a comment.
A future patch will fix fix the underlying cause of that issue by
adding "#" characters to the commit advice automatically.

buffer_read_string works well for non line-oriented input except for
one problem: it does not tell the caller how many bytes were actually
written. This means that unless one is very careful about checking
for errors (and eof) the calling program cannot tell the difference
between the string "foo" followed by an early end of file and the
string "foo\0bar\0baz".
So introduce a variant that reports the length, too, a thinner wrapper
around strbuf_fread. Its result is written to a strbuf so the caller
does not need to keep track of the number of bytes read.

POSIX makes the behavior of read(2) from a pipe fairly clear: a read
from an empty pipe will block until there is data available and any
other read will not block, prefering to return a partial result.
Likewise, fread(3) and fgets(3) are clearly specified to act as
though implemented by calling fgetc(3) in a simple loop. But the
buffering behavior of fgetc is less clear.
Luckily, no sane platform is going to implement fgetc by calling the
equivalent of read(2) more than once. fgetc has to be able to
return without filling its buffer to preserve errno when errors are
encountered anyway. So let's assume the simpler behavior (trust) but
add some tests to catch insane platforms that violate that when they
come (verify).
First check that fread can handle a 0-length read from an empty fifo.
Because open(O_RDONLY) blocks until the writing end is open, open the
writing end of the fifo in advance in a subshell.
Next try short inputs from a pipe that is not filled all the way.
Lastly (two tests) try very large inputs from a pipe that will not fit
in the relevant buffers. The first of these tests reads a little
more than 8192 bytes, which is BUFSIZ (the size of stdio's buffers)
on this Linux machine. The second reads a little over 64 KiB (the
pipe capacity on Linux) and is not run unless requested by setting
the GIT_REMOTE_SVN_TEST_BIG_FILES environment variable.

Lazy fast-import frontend authors that want to rely on the backend to
keep track of the content of the imported trees _almost_ have what
they need in the 'cat-blob' command (v1.7.4-rc0~30^2~3, 2010-11-28).
But it is not quite enough, since
(1) cat-blob can be used to retrieve the content of files, but
not their mode, and
(2) using cat-blob requires the frontend to keep track of a name
(mark number or object id) for each blob to be retrieved
Introduce an 'ls' command to complement cat-blob and take care of the
remaining needs. The 'ls' command finds what is at a given path
within a given tree-ish (tag, commit, or tree):
'ls' SP <dataref> SP <path> LF
or in fast-import's active commit:
'ls' SP <path> LF
The response is a single line sent through the cat-blob channel,
imitating ls-tree output. So for example:
FE> ls :1 Documentation
gfi> 040000 tree 9e6c2b599341d28a2a375f8207507e0a2a627fe9 Documentation
FE> ls 9e6c2b599341d28a2a375f8207507e0a2a627fe9 git-fast-import.txt
gfi> 100644 blob 4f92954396e3f0f97e75b6838a5635b583708870 git-fast-import.txt
FE> ls :1 RelNotes
gfi> 120000 blob b942e49944 RelNotes
FE> cat-blob b942e49944
gfi> b942e49944 blob 32
gfi> Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.4.txt
The most interesting parts of the reply are the first word, which is
a 6-digit octal mode (regular file, executable, symlink, directory,
or submodule), and the part from the second space to the tab, which is
a <dataref> that can be used in later cat-blob, ls, and filemodify (M)
commands to refer to the content (blob, tree, or commit) at that path.
If there is nothing there, the response is "missing some/path".
The intent is for this command to be used to read files from the
active commit, so a frontend can apply patches to them, and to copy
files and directories from previous revisions.
For example, proposed updates to svn-fe use this command in place of
its internal representation of the repository directory structure.
This simplifies the frontend a great deal and means support for
resuming an import in a separate fast-import run (i.e., incremental
import) is basically free.

Subject and identity headers may be arbitrarily long. In the
past, we just assumed that single-line headers would be
reasonably short. For multi-line subjects that we squish
into a single line, we just "pre-folded" the data in
pp_title_line by adding a newline and indentation.
There were two problems. One is that, although rare,
single-line messages can actually be longer than the
recommended line-length limits. The second is that the
pre-folding interacted badly with rfc2047 encoding, leading
to malformed headers.
Instead, let's stop pre-folding the subject lines, and just
fold everything based on length in add_rfc2047, whether
it is encoded or not.

The logic in builtin_diffstat assumes that a
complete_rewrite pair should have its lines counted. This is
nonsensical for binary files and leads to confusing things
like:
$ git diff --stat --summary HEAD^ HEAD
foo.rand | Bin 4096 -> 4096 bytes
1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
$ git diff --stat --summary -B HEAD^ HEAD
foo.rand | 34 +++++++++++++++-------------------
1 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-)
rewrite foo.rand (100%)
So let's reorder the function to handle binary files first
(which from diffstat's perspective look like complete
rewrites anyway), then rewrites, then actual diffstats.
There are two bonus prizes to this reorder:
1. It gets rid of a now-superfluous goto.
2. The binary case is at the top, which means we can
further optimize it in the next patch.

Previously the user was advised to use commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD after
a conflicting cherry-pick. While this would preserve the original
commit's authorship, it would sadly discard cherry-pick's carefully
crafted MERGE_MSG (which contains the list of conflicts as well as the
original commit-id in the case of cherry-pick -x).
On the other hand, if a bare 'commit' were performed, it would preserve
the MERGE_MSG while resetting the authorship.
In other words, there was no way to simultaneously take the authorship
from CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and the commit message from MERGE_MSG.
This change fixes that situation. A bare 'commit' will now take the
authorship from CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and the commit message from MERGE_MSG.
If the user wishes to reset authorship, that must now be done explicitly
via --reset-author.
A side-benefit of passing commit authorship along this way is that we
can eliminate redundant authorship parsing code from revert.c.

$ git commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
A later patch teaches git to handle the '-c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' part.
Note that we record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even in the case where there
are no conflicts so that we may use it to communicate authorship to
commit; this will then allow us to remove set_author_ident_env from
revert.c. However, we do not record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD when --no-commit
is used, as presumably the user intends to further edit the commit
and possibly even cherry-pick additional commits on top.

When creating a new branch using the --track option, we must make sure that
we don't try to set an upstream that does not make sense to follow (using
'git pull') or update (using 'git push'). The current code checks against
using HEAD as upstream (since tracking a symref doesn't make sense). However,
tracking a tag doesn't make sense either. Indeed, tracking _any_ ref that is
not a (local or remote) branch doesn't make sense, and should be disallowed.
This patch achieves this by checking that the ref we're trying to --track
resides within refs/heads/* or refs/remotes/*. This new check replaces the
previous check against HEAD.
A couple of testcases are also added, verifying that we cannot create
branches with tags as upstreams.
Finally, some selftests relying on using a non-branch as an upstream have
been reworked or removed:

Since bb0a484 (mergetool: Skip autoresolved paths, 2010-08-17),
mergetool uses different ways of figuring out the list of files with
merge conflicts depending on whether rerere is active. If rerere is
active, mergetool will use 'git rerere status' to list the files with
remaining conflicts. However, the output from that command does not
list conflicts of types that rerere does not handle, such as
modify/remove conflicts.
Another problem with solely relying on the output from 'git rerere
status' is that, for new conflicts that are not yet known to rerere,
the output from the command will list the files even after adding them
to the index. This means that if the conflicts in some files have been
resolved and 'git mergetool' is run again, it will ask the user
something like the following for each of those files.
file1: file does not need merging
Continue merging other unresolved paths (y/n) ?

status' with a call to the new 'git rerere remaining' that was

GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables and the current
working directory in the child process that interacts with the
repository.
command_bidi_pipe however didn't expect to be called as such, and

command_bidi_pipe to use it.
Note that unlike _cmd_exec that execv's a git command as an
external process, command_bidi_pipe is called from the main line
of control, and the execution environment needs to be restored

Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.
When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,
2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8,
2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature.
But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.
Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes"
command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream
will be treated as a no-op. On fast-import implementations without
the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out
with a message like
This version of fast-import does not support feature notes.
So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not
support notes. (This would be especially important for backends that

For example, one might use this when making a temporary merge to
test that two topics work well together.

Commits, trees and tags have structure. Don't let users feed git
with malformed ones. Sooner or later git will die() when
encountering them.
Note that this patch does not check semantics. A tree that points
to non-existent objects is perfectly OK (and should be so, users
may choose to add commit first, then its associated tree for example).
