There are two pieces of code that create tempfiles for diff:
run_external_diff and run_textconv. The former cleans up its
tempfiles in the face of premature death (i.e., by die() or
by signal), but the latter does not. After this patch, they
will both use the same cleanup routines.
To make clear what the change is, let me first explain what
happens now:
- run_external_diff uses a static global array of 2
diff_tempfile structs (since it knows it will always
need exactly 2 tempfiles). It calls prepare_temp_file
(which doesn't know anything about the global array) on
each of the structs, creating the tempfiles that need to
be cleaned up. It then registers atexit and signal
handlers to look through the global array and remove the
tempfiles. If it succeeds, it calls the handler manually
(which marks the tempfile structs as unused).
- textconv has its own tempfile struct, which it allocates
using prepare_temp_file and cleans up manually. No
signal or atexit handlers.
The new code moves the installation of cleanup handlers into
the prepare_temp_file function. Which means that that
function now has to understand that there is static tempfile
storage. So what happens now is:
- run_external_diff calls prepare_temp_file
- prepare_temp_file calls claim_diff_tempfile, which
allocates an unused slot from our global array
- prepare_temp_file installs (if they have not already
been installed) atexit and signal handlers for cleanup
- prepare_temp_file sets up the tempfile as usual
- prepare_temp_file returns a pointer to the allocated
tempfile
The advantage being that run_external_diff no longer has to
care about setting up cleanup handlers. Now by virtue of
calling prepare_temp_file, run_textconv gets the same
benefit, as will any future users of prepare_temp_file.
There are also a few side benefits to the specific
implementation:
- we now install cleanup handlers _before_ allocating the
tempfile, closing a race which could leave temp cruft
- when allocating a slot in the global array, we will now
detect a situation where the old slots were not properly
vacated (i.e., somebody forgot to call remove upon
leaving the function). In the old code, such a situation
would silently overwrite the tempfile names, meaning we
would forget to clean them up. The new code dies with a
bug warning.
- we make sure only to install the signal handler once.
This isn't a big deal, since we are just overwriting the
old handler, but will become an issue when a later patch
converts the code to use sigchain

The "--signoff" test case in t7500-commit.sh was setting VISUAL while
using -F -, which indeed tested that the editor is not spawned with -F.
However, having it there was confusing, since there was no obvious reason
to the casual reader for it to be there.
This commits removes the setting of VISUAL from the --signoff test, and
adds in t7501-commit.sh a dedicated test case, where the rest of tests for
-F are.

git_commit_non_empty_tree is added to the functions that can be run from
commit filters. Its effect is to commit only commits actually touching the
tree and that are not merge points either.
The option --prune-empty is added. It defaults the commit-filter to
'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"', and can be used with any other
combination of filters, except --commit-hook that must used
'git_commit_non_empty_tree "$@"' where one puts 'git commit-tree "$@"'
usually to achieve the same result.

Make all strbuf functions that can fail free() their memory on error if

though.
This allows for easier error handling, as callers only need to call
strbuf_release() if A) the command succeeded or B) if they would have had
to do so anyway because they added something to the strbuf themselves.

"git checkout -b newbranch $commit^{tree}" mistakenly created a new branch
rooted at the current HEAD, because in that case, the two structure fields
used to see if the command was invoked without any argument (hence it
needs to default to checking out the HEAD) were populated incorrectly.
Upon seeing a command line argument that we took as a rev, we should store
that string in new.name, even if that does not name a commit. This will
correctly trigger the existing safety logic.

A git patch that does not change the executable bit records the mode bits
on its "index" line. "git apply" used to interpret this mode exactly the
same way as it interprets the mode recorded on "new mode" line, as the
wish by the patch submitter to set the mode to the one recorded on the
line.
The reason the mode does not agree between the submitter and the receiver
in the first place is because there is _another_ commit that only appears
on one side but not the other since their histories diverged, and that
commit changes the mode. The patch has "index" line but not "new mode"
line because its change is about updating the contents without affecting
the mode. The application of such a patch is an explicit wish by the
submitter to only cherry-pick the commit that updates the contents without
cherry-picking the commit that modifies the mode. Viewed this way, the
current behaviour is problematic, even though the command does warn when
the mode of the path being patched does not match this mode, and a careful
user could detect this inconsistencies between the patch submitter and the
patch receiver.
This changes the semantics of the mode recorded on the "index" line;
instead of interpreting it as the submitter's wish to set the mode to the
recorded value, it merely informs what the mode submitter happened to
have, and the presense of the "index" line is taken as submitter's wish to
keep whatever the mode is on the receiving end.
This is based on the patch originally done by Alexander Potashev with a
minor fix; the tests are mine.

Merge two hunks if there is only the specified number of otherwise unshown
context between them. For --inter-hunk-context=1, the resulting patch has
the same number of lines but shows uninterrupted context instead of a
context header line in between.
Patches generated with this option are easier to read but are also more
likely to conflict if the file to be patched contains other changes.
This patch keeps the default for this option at 0. It is intended to just
make the feature available in order to see its advantages and downsides.

"makeinfo" failed to generate gitman.info from gitman.texi input file
because the combined manual page file contains several nodes with the
same name (DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, SEE ALSO etc.). An Info document should
contain unique node names.
This patch creates a simple (read: ugly) work-around by suppressing the
validation of the final Info file. Jumping to nodes in the Info document
still works but they are not very useful. Common man-page headings like
DESCRIPTION and OPTIONS appear in the Info node list and they point to
the man page where they appear first (that is git-add currently).
Also, this patch adds directory-entry information for Info document to
make the document appear in the top-level Info directory.
