I forgot this in my previous patch `--pathspec-from-file` for
`git commit` [1]. When both `--pathspec-from-file` and `--all` were
specified, `--all` took precedence and `--pathspec-from-file` was
ignored. Before `--pathspec-from-file` was implemented, this case was
prevented by this check in `parse_and_validate_options()` :
die(_("paths '%s ...' with -a does not make sense"), argv[0]);
It is unfortunate that these two cases are disconnected. This came as
result of how the code was laid out before my patches, where `pathspec`
is parsed outside of `parse_and_validate_options()`. This branch is
already full of refactoring patches and I did not dare to go for another
one.
Fix by mirroring `die()` for `--pathspec-from-file` as well.

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) For now, `--pathspec-from-file` is declared incompatible with
`--interactive/--patch`, even when <file> is not `stdin`. Such use
case it not really expected. Also, it would require changes to
`interactive_add()`.
2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.

The write_commit_graph() method uses die() to report failure and
exit when confronted with an unexpected condition. This use of
die() in a library function is incorrect and is now replaced by
error() statements and an int return type. Return zero on success
and a negative value on failure.
Now that we use 'goto cleanup' to jump to the terminal condition
on an error, we have new paths that could lead to uninitialized
values. New initializers are added to correct for this.
The builtins 'commit-graph', 'gc', and 'commit' call these methods,
so update them to check the return value. Test that 'git commit-graph
write' returns a proper error code when hitting a failure condition
in write_commit_graph().

to avoid the confusion of one-command-do-all "git checkout" for new

For these reasons, promote it everywhere possible. This includes

One nice thing about git-restore is the ability to restore
"everything", so it can be used in "git status" advice instead of both
"git checkout" and "git reset". The three commands suggested by "git

"git checkout" is also removed from "git help" (i.e. it's no longer

When cherry-picking or reverting a sequence of commits and if the final
pick/revert has conflicts and the user uses `git commit` to commit the
conflict resolution and does not run `git cherry-pick --continue` then
the sequencer state is left behind. This can cause problems later. In my
case I cherry-picked a sequence of commits the last one of which I
committed with `git commit` after resolving some conflicts, then a while
later, on a different branch I aborted a revert which rewound my HEAD to
the end of the cherry-pick sequence on the previous branch. Avoid this
potential problem by removing the sequencer state if we're committing or

The author.email, author.name, committer.email and committer.name
settings are analogous to the GIT_AUTHOR_* and GIT_COMMITTER_*
environment variables, but for the git config system. This allows them
to be set separately for each repository.
Git supports setting different authorship and committer
information with environment variables. However, environment variables
are set in the shell, so if different authorship and committer
information is needed for different repositories an external tool is
required.
This adds support to git config for author.email, author.name,
committer.email and committer.name settings so this information
can be set per repository.
Also, it generalizes the fmt_ident function so it can handle author vs

We save the result of $GIT_INDEX_FILE so that we can restore it after

setenv(). This _usually_ works fine, but can fail if libc needs to
reallocate the environment block during the setenv().
Let's just duplicate the string, so we know that it remains valid.
In the long run it may be more robust to teach interactive_add() to take

When we define a parse-options callback, the flags we put in the option
struct must match what the callback expects. For example, a callback
which does not handle the "unset" parameter should only be used with
PARSE_OPT_NONEG. But since the callback and the option struct are not
defined next to each other, it's easy to get this wrong (as earlier
patches in this series show).
Fortunately, the compiler can help us here: compiling with
-Wunused-parameters can show us which callbacks ignore their "unset"
parameters (and likewise, ones that ignore "arg" expect to be triggered
with PARSE_OPT_NOARG).
But after we've inspected a callback and determined that all of its
callers use the right flags, what do we do next? We'd like to silence
the compiler warning, but do so in a way that will catch any wrong calls
in the future.
We can do that by actually checking those variables and asserting that
they match our expectations. Because this is such a common pattern,
we'll introduce some helper macros. The resulting messages aren't
as descriptive as we could make them, but the file/line information from
BUG() is enough to identify the problem (and anyway, the point is that
these should never be seen).
Each of the annotated callbacks in this patch triggers
-Wunused-parameters, and was manually inspected to make sure all callers
use the correct options (so none of these BUGs should be triggerable).

Status variables were initialized in the collect phase and some
variables were later freed in the print functions.
A "struct wt_status" used to be sufficient for the output phase to
work. It was designed to be filled in the collect phase and consumed
in the output phase, but over time some fields were added and output
phase started filling the fields.
A "struct wt_status_state" that was used in other codepaths turned out
to be useful in the "git status" output. This is not tied to "struct
wt_status", so filling in the collect phase was not consistently
followed.
Move the status state structure variables into the status state
structure and populate them in the collect functions.

builtin/commit.c:prepare_to_commit() can call run_status() twice if
using the editor, including status, and the user attempts to record a
non-merge empty commit without explicit --allow-empty. If there is also
a rename involved as well (due to using 'git add -N'), then a BUG in
wt-status.c is triggered:
BUG: wt-status.c:476: multiple renames on the same target? how?
The reason we hit this bug is that both run_status() calls use the same
struct wt_status * (named s), and s->change is not freed between runs.
Changes are inserted into s with string_list_insert, which usually means
that the second run just recomputes all the same results and overwrites
what was computed the first time. However, ever since commit
176ea74793 ("wt-status.c: handle worktree renames", 2017-12-27),
wt-status started checking for renames and copies but also added a
preventative check that d->rename_status wasn't already set and output a
BUG message if it was. The problem isn't that there are multiple rename
targets to a single path as the error implies, the problem is that 's'
is not freed/cleared between the two run_status() calls.
Ever since commit dc6b1d92ca ("wt-status: use settings from
git_diff_ui_config", 2018-05-04), which stopped hardcoding
DIFF_DETECT_RENAME and allowed users to ask for copy detection, this bug
has also been triggerable with a copy instead of a rename.
Fix the bug by clearing s->change. A better change might be to clean up
all of s between the two run_status() calls. A good first step towards
such a goal might be writing a function to free the necessary fields in
the wt_status * struct; a cursory glance at the code suggests all of its
allocated data is probably leaked. However, doing all that cleanup is a
bigger task for someone else interested to tackle; just fix the bug for
now.

Refreshing the index is usually very fast, but it can still take a
long time sometimes. Cold cache is one. Or copying a repo to a new
place (*). It's good to show something to let the user know "git
status" is not hanging, it's just busy doing something.
(*) In this case, all stat info in the index becomes invalid and git
falls back to rehashing all file content to see if there's any
difference between updating stat info in the index. This is quite
expensive. Even with a repo as small as git.git, it takes 3

The commit-graph feature is tested in isolation by

more interesting scenarios involving commit walks. Many of these
scenarios are covered by the existing test suite, but we need to
maintain coverage when the optional commit-graph structure is not
present.
To allow running the full test suite with the commit-graph present,
add a new test environment variable, GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH. Similar
to GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX, this variable makes every Git command try
to load the commit-graph when parsing commits, and writes the
commit-graph file after every 'git commit' command.
There are a few tests that rely on commits not existing in
pack-files to trigger important events, so manually set
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH to false for the necessary commands.
There is one test in t6024-recursive-merge.sh that relies on the
merge-base algorithm picking one of two ambiguous merge-bases, and
the commit-graph feature changes which merge-base is picked.

After performing a merge that has conflicts git status will, by default,

If you do something like
- git add .
- git status
- git commit
- git show (or git diff HEAD)
one would expect to have analogous output from git status and git show
(or similar diff-related programs). This is generally not the case, as
git status has hard coded values for diff related options.
With this commit the hard coded settings are dropped from the status
command in favour for values provided by git_diff_ui_config.
What follows are some remarks on the concrete options which were hard
coded in git status:
diffopt.detect_rename
Since the very beginning of git status in a3e870f2e2 ("Add "commit"
helper script", 2005-05-30), git status always used rename detection,
whereas with commands like show and log one had to activate it with a
command line option. After 5404c116aa ("diff: activate diff.renames by
default", 2016-02-25) the default behaves the same by coincidence, but
changing diff.renames to other values can break the consistency between
git status and other commands again. With this commit one control the
same default behaviour with diff.renames.
diffopt.rename_limit
Similarly one has the option diff.renamelimit to adjust this limit for
all commands but git status. With this commit git status will also honor
those.
diffopt.break_opt
Unlike the other two options this cannot be configured by a
configuration option yet. This commit will also change the default
behaviour to not use break rewrites. But as rename detection is most
likely on, this is dangerous to be activated anyway as one can see
here:

We have several callers like
if (active_cache_changed && write_locked_index(...))
handle_error();
rollback_lock_file(...);
where the final rollback is needed because "!active_cache_changed"
shortcuts the if-expression. There are also a few variants of this,
including some if-else constructs that make it more clear when the
explicit rollback is really needed.
Teach `write_locked_index()` to take a new flag SKIP_IF_UNCHANGED and
simplify the callers. Leave the most complicated of the callers (in
builtin/update-index.c) unchanged. Rewriting it to use this new flag
would end up duplicating logic.
We could have made the new flag behave the other way round
("FORCE_WRITE"), but that could break existing users behind their backs.
Let's take the more conservative approach. We can still migrate existing
callers to use our new flag. Later we might even be able to flip the
default, possibly without entirely ignoring the risk to in-flight or
out-of-tree topics.

Change the behavior of git-commit back to what it was back in
d4bb43ee27 ("Invoke "git gc --auto" from commit, merge, am and

Shortly afterwards in f5bbc3225c ("Port git commit to C.", 2007-11-08)
when it was ported to C, the "git gc --auto" invocation went away.
Since that unintended regression, git gc --auto only ran for git-am,
git-merge, git-fetch, and git-receive-pack. It was possible to
write a script that would "git commit" a lot of data locally, and gc
would never run.
One such repository that was locally committing generated zone file
changes had grown to a size of ~60GB before a daily cronjob was added
to "git gc", bringing it down to less than 1GB. This will make such
cases work without intervention.

doesn't do anything).
