e269eb7946 git_config_colorbool: refactor stdout_is_tty handling
Usually this function figures out for itself whether stdout
is a tty. However, it has an extra parameter just to allow
git-config to override the auto-detection for its
--get-colorbool option.

Instead of an extra parameter, let's just use a global
variable. This makes calling easier in the common case, and
will make refactoring the colorbool code much simpler.

f1c9626105 diff: refactor COLOR_DIFF from a flag into an int
This lets us store more than just a bit flag for whether we
want color; we can also store whether we want automatic
colors. This can be useful for making the automatic-color
decision closer to the point of use.

This mostly just involves replacing DIFF_OPT_* calls with
manipulations of the flag. The biggest exception is that
calls to DIFF_OPT_TST must check for "o->use_color > 0",
which lets an "unknown" value (i.e., the default) stay at
"no color". In the previous code, a value of "-1" was not
propagated at all.

A malicious server can return ACK with non-existent SHA-1 or not a
commit. lookup_commit() in this case may return NULL. Do not let

This function produces network traffic and should be in fetch-pack. It
has been in commit.c because it needs to iterate (private) graft

127f045222 revert: plug memory leak in "cherry-pick root commit" codepath
The empty tree passed as common ancestor to merge_trees() when
cherry-picking a parentless commit is allocated on the heap and never
freed.  Leaking such a small one-time allocation is not a very big
problem, but now that "git cherry-pick" can cherry-pick multiple
commits it can start to add up.

Avoid the leak by storing the fake tree exactly once in the BSS
section (i.e., use a static).  While at it, let's add a test to make
sure cherry-picking multiple parentless commits continues to work.

0f64bfa956 ls-files: fix pathspec display on error
The following sequence of commands reveals an issue with error
reporting of relative paths:

 $ mkdir sub
 $ cd sub
 $ git ls-files --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
 error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
 $ git commit --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
 error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.

This bug is visible only if the normalized path (i.e., the relative
path from the repository root) is longer than the prefix.
Otherwise, the code skips over the normalized path and reads from
an unused memory location which still contains a leftover of the
original command line argument.

So instead, use the existing facilities to deal with relative paths
correctly.

Also fix inconsistency between "checkout" and "commit", e.g.

    $ cd Documentation
    $ git checkout nosuch.txt
    error: pathspec 'Documentation/nosuch.txt' did not match...
    $ git commit nosuch.txt
    error: pathspec 'nosuch.txt' did not match...

by propagating the prefix down the codepath that reports the error.

cf3e2486d6 revert: Propagate errors upwards from do_pick_commit
Currently, revert_or_cherry_pick can fail in two ways.  If it
encounters a conflict, it returns a positive number indicating the
intended exit status for the git wrapper to pass on; for all other
errors, it calls die().  The latter behavior is inconsiderate towards
callers, as it denies them the opportunity to recover from errors and
do other things.

After this patch, revert_or_cherry_pick will still return a positive
return value to indicate an exit status for conflicts as before, while
for some other errors, it will print an error message and return -1
instead of die()-ing.  The cmd_revert and cmd_cherry_pick are adjusted
to handle the fatal errors by die()-ing themselves.

While the full benefits of this patch will only be seen once all the
"die" calls are replaced with calls to "error", its immediate impact
is to change some "fatal:" messages to say "error:" and to add a new
"fatal: cherry-pick failed" message at the end when the operation
fails.

5a5d80f4ca revert: Introduce --continue to continue the operation
Introduce a new "git cherry-pick --continue" command which uses the
information in ".git/sequencer" to continue a cherry-pick that stopped
because of a conflict or other error.  It works by dropping the first
instruction from .git/sequencer/todo and performing the remaining
cherry-picks listed there, with options (think "-s" and "-X") from the
initial command listed in ".git/sequencer/opts".

So now you can do:

  $ git cherry-pick -Xpatience foo..bar
  ... description conflict in commit moo ...
  $ git cherry-pick --continue
  error: 'cherry-pick' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
  fatal: failed to resume cherry-pick
  $ echo resolved >conflictingfile
  $ git add conflictingfile && git commit
  $ git cherry-pick --continue; # resumes with the commit after "moo"

During the "git commit" stage, CHERRY_PICK_HEAD will aid by providing
the commit message from the conflicting "moo" commit.  Note that the
cherry-pick mechanism has no control at this stage, so the user is
free to violate anything that was specified during the first
cherry-pick invocation.  For example, if "-x" was specified during the
first cherry-pick invocation, the user is free to edit out the message
during commit time.  Note that the "--signoff" option specified at
cherry-pick invocation time is not reflected in the commit message
provided by CHERRY_PICK_HEAD; the user must take care to add
"--signoff" during the "git commit" invocation.

21afd08062 revert: Don't implicitly stomp pending sequencer operation
Protect the user from forgetting about a pending sequencer operation
by immediately erroring out when an existing cherry-pick or revert
operation is in progress like:

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git cherry-pick moo
  error: .git/sequencer already exists
  hint: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress
  hint: Use --reset to forget about it
  fatal: cherry-pick failed

A naive version of this would break the following established ways of
working:

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git reset --hard  # I actually meant "moo" when I said "foo"
  $ git cherry-pick moo

  $ git cherry-pick foo
  ... conflict ...
  $ git commit # commit the resolution
  $ git cherry-pick moo # New operation

However, the previous patches "reset: Make reset remove the sequencer
state" and "revert: Remove sequencer state when no commits are
pending" make sure that this does not happen.

2d27daa91d revert: Remove sequencer state when no commits are pending
When cherry-pick or revert is called on a list of commits, and a
conflict encountered somewhere in the middle, the data in
".git/sequencer" is required to continue the operation.  However, when
a conflict is encountered in the very last commit, the user will have
to "continue" after resolving the conflict and committing just so that
the sequencer state is removed.  This is how the current "rebase -i"
script works as well.

  $ git cherry-pick foo..bar
  ... conflict encountered while picking "bar" ...
  $ echo "resolved" >problematicfile
  $ git add problematicfile
  $ git commit
  $ git cherry-pick --continue # This would be a no-op

Change this so that the sequencer state is cleared when a conflict is
encountered in the last commit.  Incidentally, this patch makes sure
that some existing tests don't break when features like "--reset" and
"--continue" are implemented later in the series.

A better way to implement this feature is to get the last "git commit"
to remove the sequencer state.  However, that requires tighter
coupling between "git commit" and the sequencer, a goal that can be
pursued once the sequencer is made more general.

6280dfdc3b fast-export: quote paths in output
Many pathnames in a fast-import stream need to be quoted. In
particular:

  1. Pathnames at the end of an "M" or "D" line need quoting
     if they contain a LF or start with double-quote.

  2. Pathnames on a "C" or "R" line need quoting as above,
     but also if they contain spaces.

For (1), we weren't quoting at all. For (2), we put
double-quotes around the paths to handle spaces, but ignored
the possibility that they would need further quoting.

This patch checks whether each pathname needs c-style
quoting, and uses it. This is slightly overkill for (1),
which doesn't actually need to quote many characters that
vanilla c-style quoting does. However, it shouldn't hurt, as
any implementation needs to be ready to handle quoted
strings anyway.

In addition to adding a test, we have to tweak a test which
blindly assumed that case (2) would always use
double-quotes, whether it needed to or not.

Normalize the path arguments (relative to the working tree root, if

This fixes two test cases for different reasons:

* "unnormalized paths" is fixed because the .gitattribute-file-seeking
  code is not confused into reading the top-level file twice.

* "relative paths" is fixed because the canonical pathnames are passed
  to get_check_attr() or get_all_attrs(), allowing them to match the
  pathname patterns as expected.

26ae337be1 revert: Introduce --reset to remove sequencer state
To explicitly remove the sequencer state for a fresh cherry-pick or
revert invocation, introduce a new subcommand called "--reset" to
remove the sequencer state.

Take the opportunity to publicly expose the sequencer paths, and a
generic function called "remove_sequencer_state" that various git
programs can use to remove the sequencer state in a uniform manner;
"git reset" uses it later in this series.  Introducing this public API
is also in line with our long-term goal of eventually factoring out
functions from revert.c into a generic commit sequencer.

21b14778a9 revert: Make pick_commits functionally act on a commit list
Apart from its central objective of calling into the picking
mechanism, pick_commits creates a sequencer directory, prepares a todo
list, and even acts upon the "--reset" subcommand.  This makes for a
bad API since the central worry of callers is to figure out whether or
not any conflicts were encountered during the cherry picking.  The
current API is like:

  if (pick_commits(opts) < 0)
     print "Something failed, we're not sure what"

So, change pick_commits so that it's only responsible for picking
commits in a loop and reporting any errors, leaving the rest to a new
function called pick_revisions.  Consequently, the API of pick_commits
becomes much clearer:

  act_on_subcommand(opts->subcommand);
  todo_list = prepare_todo_list();
  if (pick_commits(todo_list, opts) < 0)
     print "Error encountered while picking commits"

Now, callers can easily call-in to the cherry-picking machinery by
constructing an arbitrary todo list along with some options.

for continuing after a conflict resolution.  Use the gitconfig format
for this file so that it looks like:

  [options]
	  signoff = true
	  record-origin = true
	  mainline = 1
	  strategy = recursive
	  strategy-option = patience
	  strategy-option = ours

04d3d3cfc4 revert: Save data for continuing after conflict resolution
Ever since v1.7.2-rc1~4^2~7 (revert: allow cherry-picking more than
one commit, 2010-06-02), a single invocation of "git cherry-pick" or
"git revert" can perform picks of several individual commits.  To
implement features like "--continue" to continue the whole operation,
we will need to store some information about the state and the plan at
the beginning.  Introduce a ".git/sequencer/head" file to store this
state, and ".git/sequencer/todo" file to store the plan.  The head
file contains the SHA-1 of the HEAD before the start of the operation,
and the todo file contains an instruction sheet whose format is
inspired by the format of the "rebase -i" instruction sheet.  As a
result, a typical todo file looks like:

  pick 8537f0e submodule add: test failure when url is not configured
  pick 4d68932 submodule add: allow relative repository path
  pick f22a17e submodule add: clean up duplicated code
  pick 59a5775 make copy_ref globally available

Since SHA-1 hex is abbreviated using an find_unique_abbrev(), it is
unambiguous.  This does not guarantee that there will be no ambiguity
when more objects are added to the repository.

These two files alone are not enough to implement a "--continue" that
remembers the command-line options specified; later patches in the
series save them too.

These new files are unrelated to the existing .git/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD,
which will still be useful while committing after a conflict
resolution.

9044143ff1 revert: Don't create invalid replay_opts in parse_args
The "--ff" command-line option cannot be used with some other
command-line options.  However, parse_args still parses these
incompatible options into a replay_opts structure for use by the rest
of the program.  Although pick_commits, the current gatekeeper to the
cherry-pick machinery, checks the validity of the replay_opts
structure before before starting its operation, there will be multiple
entry points to the cherry-pick machinery in future.  To futureproof
the code and catch these errors in one place, make sure that an
invalid replay_opts structure is not created by parse_args in the
first place.  We still check the replay_opts structure for validity in
pick_commits, but this is an assert() now to emphasize that it's the
caller's responsibility to get it right.
