When a user asks us to force a mv and overwrite the
destination, we print a warning. However, since a typical
use would be:
$ git mv one two
fatal: destination exists, source=one, destination=two
$ git mv -f one two
warning: overwriting 'two'
this warning is just noise. We already know we're
overwriting; that's why we gave -f!
This patch silences the warning unless "--verbose" is given.

When we try to "git mv" over an existing file, the error
message is fairly informative:
$ git mv one two
fatal: destination exists, source=one, destination=two
When the user forces the overwrite, we give a warning:
$ git mv -f one two
warning: destination exists; will overwrite!
This is less informative, but still sufficient in the simple
rename case, as there is only one rename happening.
But when moving files from one directory to another, it
becomes useless:
$ mkdir three
$ touch one two three/one
$ git add .
$ git mv one two three
fatal: destination exists, source=one, destination=three/one
$ git mv -f one two three
warning: destination exists; will overwrite!
The first message is helpful, but the second one gives us no
clue about what was overwritten. Let's mention the name of
the destination file:
$ git mv -f one two three
warning: overwriting 'three/one'

If you try to "git mv" multiple files onto another
non-directory file, you confusingly get the "usage" message:
$ touch one two three
$ git add .
$ git mv one two three
usage: git mv [options] <source>... <destination>
[...]
From the user's perspective, that makes no sense. They just
gave parameters that exactly match that usage!
This behavior dates back to the original C version of "git
mv", which had a usage message like:
usage: git mv (<source> <destination> | <source>... <destination>)
This was slightly less confusing, because it at least
mentions that there are two ways to invoke (but it still
isn't clear why what the user provided doesn't work).
Instead, let's show an error message like:
$ git mv one two three
fatal: destination 'three' is not a directory
We could leave the usage message in place, too, but it
doesn't actually help here. It contains no hints that there
are two forms, nor that multi-file form requires that the
endpoint be a directory. So it just becomes useless noise
that distracts from the real error.

Additionally, the call to malloc in compat/win32/syslog.c was not modified

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.

The following invocations did not work as expected on Windows:
git mv foo\bar dest
git mv foo\ dest
The first command was interpreted as
git mv foo/bar dest/foo/bar
because the Windows style directory separator was not obeyed when the
basename of 'foo\bar' was computed.
The second command failed because the Windows style directory separator was
not removed from the source directory, whereupon the lookup of the
directory in the index failed.

The rewrite of git-mv from a shell script to a builtin was perhaps
a little too straightforward: the git add and git rm queues were
emulated directly, which resulted in a rather complicated code and
caused an inconsistent behaviour when moving dirty index entries;
git mv would update the entry based on working tree state,
except in case of overwrites, where the new entry would still have
sha1 of the old file.
This patch introduces rename_index_entry_at() into the index toolkit,
which will rename an entry while removing any entries the new entry
might render duplicate. This is then used in git mv instead
of all the file queues, resulting in a major simplification
of the code and an inevitable change in git mv -n output format.
Also the code used to refuse renaming overwriting symlink with a regular
file and vice versa; there is no need for that.
A few new tests have been added to the testsuite to reflect this change.

When get_pathspec() was originally made absolute-path capable,

An incorrect command "git mv subdir /outer/space" threw the
subdirectory to outside of the repository and then noticed that
/outer/space/subdir/ would be outside of the repository. The
error checking is backwards.
This fixes the issue by being careful about use of the return
value of get_pathspec(). Since the implementation already has
handcrafted loop to munge each path on the command line, we use
prefix_path() instead.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
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.

Earlier, add_file_to_index() invalidated the path in the cache-tree
but remove_file_from_cache() did not, and the user of the latter
needed to invalidate the entry himself. This led to a few bugs due to
missed invalidate calls already. This patch makes the management of
cache-tree less error prone by making more invalidate calls from lower
level cache API functions.
The rules are:
- If you are going to write the index, you should either maintain
cache_tree correctly.
- If you cannot, alternatively you can remove the entire cache_tree
by calling cache_tree_free() before you call write_cache().
- When you modify the index, cache_tree_invalidate_path() should be
called with the path you are modifying, to discard the entry from
the cache-tree structure.
- The following cache API functions exported from read-cache.c (and
the macro whose names have "cache" instead of "index")
automatically call cache_tree_invalidate_path() for you:
- remove_file_from_index();
- add_file_to_index();
- add_index_entry();
You can modify the index bypassing the above API functions
(e.g. find an existing cache entry from the index and modify it in
place). You need to call cache_tree_invalidate_path() yourself in
such a case.

This function was not called "add_file_to_cache()" only because
an ancient program, update-cache, used that name as an internal
function name that does something slightly different. Now that
is gone, we can take over the better name.
The plan is to name all functions that operate on the default
index xxx_cache(). Later patches create a variant of them that
take an explicit parameter xxx_index(), and then turn
xxx_cache() functions into macros that use "the_index".

When defined, this allows plumbing commands that update the
index (add, apply, checkout-index, merge-recursive, mv,
read-tree, rm, update-index, and write-tree) to write their
resulting index to an alternative index file while holding a
lock to the original index file. With this, git-commit that
jumps the index does not have to make an extra copy of the index
file, and more importantly, it can do the update while holding
the lock on the index.
However, I think the interface to let an environment variable
specify the output is a mistake, as shown in the documentation.
If a curious user has the environment variable set to something
other than the file GIT_INDEX_FILE points at, almost everything
will break. This should instead be a command line parameter to
tell these plumbing commands to write the result in the named
file, to prevent stupid mistakes.

Most of the callers except the one in refs.c use the function to
update the index file. Among the index writers, everybody
except write-tree dies if they cannot open it for writing.
This gives the function an extra argument, to tell it to die
when it cannot create a new file as the lockfile.
The only caller that does not have to die is write-tree, because
updating the index for the cache-tree part is optional and not
being able to do so does not affect the correctness. I think we
do not have to be so careful and make the failure into die() the
same way as other callers, but that would be a different patch.
