Michael Schubert 823e0ded8a help_unknown_cmd: do not propose an "unknown" cmd
When executing an external shell script like `git foo` with a bad
shebang, e.g. "#!/usr/bin/not/existing", execvp returns 127 (ENOENT).

Since help_unknown_cmd proposes the use of all external commands similar
to the name of the "unknown" command, it suggests the just failed command
again. Stop it and give some advice to the user.

Ramsay Jones b8a9733377 help.c: Fix detection of custom merge strategy on cygwin
Test t7606-merge-custom.sh fails on cygwin when git-merge fails
with an "Could not find merge strategy 'theirs'" error, despite
the test correctly preparing an (executable) git-merge-theirs
script.

The cause of the failure is the mis-detection of the executable
status of the script, by the is_executable() function, while the
load_command_list() function is searching the path for additional
merge strategy programs.

Note that the l/stat() "functions" on cygwin are somewhat
schizophrenic (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843), and
their behaviour depends on the timing of various git setup and
config function calls. In particular, until the "git_dir" has
been set (have_git_dir() returns true), the real cygwin (POSIX
emulating) l/stat() functions are called. Once "git_dir" has
been set, the "native Win32 API" implementations of l/stat()
may, or may not, be called depending on the setting of the
core.filemode and core.ignorecygwinfstricks config variables.

We also note that, since commit c869753, core.filemode is forced
to false, even on NTFS, by git-init and git-clone. A user (or a
test) can, of course, reset core.filemode to true explicitly if
the filesystem supports it (and he doesn't use any problematic
windows software). The test-suite currently runs all tests on
cygwin with core.filemode set to false.

Given the above, we see that the built-in merge strategies are
correctly detected as executable, since they are checked for
before "git_dir" is set, whereas all custom merge strategies are
not, since they are checked for after "git_dir" is set.

In order to fix the mis-detection problem, we change the code in
is_executable() to re-use the conditional WIN32 code section,
which actually looks at the content of the file to determine if
the file is executable. On cygwin we also make the additional
code conditional on the executable bit of the file mode returned
by the initial stat() call. (only the real cygwin function would
set the executable bit in the file mode.)

Erik Faye-Lund 6612b9e471 help: always suggest common-cmds if prefix of cmd
If someone runs "git st", the command "git status" is not suggested
because it's not one of the closest levenshtein-neighbour.

Reserve the distance of 0 for common commands where the entered command
is a prefixe, as these are often more likely to be what the user meant.

This way, "git status" is the first suggestion, while a list of possible

Johannes Sixt 06500a0299 help.autocorrect: do not run a command if the command given is junk
If a given command is not found, then help.c tries to guess which one the
user could have meant. If help.autocorrect is 0 or unset, then a list of
suggestions is given as long as the dissimilarity between the given command
and the candidates is not excessively high. But if help.autocorrect was
non-zero (i.e., a delay after which the command is run automatically), the
latter restriction on dissimilarity was not obeyed.

In my case, this happened:

 $ git ..daab02
 WARNING: You called a Git command named '..daab02', which does not exist.
 Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'read-tree'
 in 4.0 seconds automatically...

The patch reuses the similarity limit that is also applied when the list of
suggested commands is printed.

Johannes Schindelin 8af84dadb1 git wrapper: DWIM mistyped commands
This patch introduces a modified Damerau-Levenshtein algorithm into
Git's code base, and uses it with the following penalties to show some
similar commands when an unknown command was encountered:

	swap = 0, insertion = 1, substitution = 2, deletion = 4

A typical output would now look like this:

	$ git sm
	git: 'sm' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.

	Did you mean one of these?
		am
		rm

The cut-off is at similarity rating 6, which was empirically determined
to give sensible results.

As a convenience, if there is only one candidate, Git continues under
the assumption that the user mistyped it.  Example:

	$ git reabse
	WARNING: You called a Git program named 'reabse', which does
	not exist.
	Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'rebase'
	[...]

Steffen Prohaska 4804aabcdb help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell API
The system's default browser for displaying HTML help pages is now used
directly on Windows, instead of launching git-web--browser, which
requires a Unix shell.  Avoiding MSYS' bash when possible is good
because it avoids potential path translation issues.  In this case it is
not too hard to avoid launching a shell, so let's avoid it.

The Windows-specific code is implemented in compat/mingw.c to avoid
platform-specific code in the main code base.  On Windows, open_html is
provided as a define.  If open_html is not defined, git-web--browse is
used.  This approach avoids platform-specific ifdefs by using
per-function ifdefs.  The "ifndef open_html" together with the
introductory comment should sufficiently warn developers, so that they
hopefully will not break this mechanism.

Christian Couder 2dce956e39 help: check early if we have a command, if not try a documentation topic
Before this patch, something like "git help tutorial" did not work,
people had to use "git help gittutorial" which is not very intuitive.

This patch uses the "is_git_command" function to test early if the
argument passed to "git help" is a git command, and if this is not the
case then we prefix the argument with "git" instead of "git-".

This way, things like "git help tutorial" or "git help glossary" will
work fine.

The little downside of this patch is that the "is_git_command" is a
little bit slow.

Johannes Sixt cc3b7a9732 Windows: Make 'git help -a' work.
git help -a scans the PATH for git commands. On Windows it failed for two
reasons:

- The PATH separator is ';', not ':' on Windows.

- stat() does not set the executable bit.

We now open the file and guess whether it is executable.

The result of the guess is good enough for the list of git commands, but
it is of no use for a general stat() implementation because (1) it is a
guess, (2) the user has no way to influence the outcome (via chmod or
similar), and (3) it would reduce stat() performance by an unacceptable
amount. Therefore, this strategy is a special-case local to help.c.

Currently "git help -m GITCMD" is restricted to a set of man viewers

force "git help -m" to use a different man, viewer, but if you have a
man viewer whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current
tools then you would have to write a wrapper script for it.

This patch adds a git config variable "man.<tool>.cmd" which allows a
more flexible man viewer choice.

If you run "git help -m GITCMD" with the "man.viewer" config variable
set to an unrecognized tool then it will query the "man.<tool>.cmd"
config variable. If this variable exists, then the specified tool will
be treated as a custom man viewer and it will be run in a shell with

Christian Couder caa87713bc help--browse: add '--config' option to check a config option for a browser.
The value of this new command line option will be used as a key to
check the configuration for an help browser.

This should remove the last bit in 'git-help--browse' that was
specific to 'git-help', so that other git command can use
'git-help--browse'.

Christian Couder 482cce8205 help: make 'git-help--browse' usable outside 'git-help'.
"git-help--browse" helper is to launch a browser of the user's choice
to view the HTML version of git documentation for a given command.  It
used to take the name of a command, convert it to the path of the
documentation by prefixing the directory name and appending the
".html" suffix, and start the browser on the path.

This updates the division of labor between the caller in help.c and
git-help--browser helper.  The helper is now responsible for launching
a browser of the user's choice on given URLs, and it is the caller's
responsibility to tell it the paths to documentation files.

This is in preparation to reuse the logic to choose user's preferred
browser in instaweb.

The helper had a provision for running it without any command name, in
which case it showed the toplevel "git(7)" documentation, but the
caller in help.c never makes such a call.  The helper now exits with a
usage message when no path is given.

Christian Couder 70087cdbd3 git-help: add "help.format" config variable.
This config variable makes it possible to choose the default format
used to display help. This format will be used only if no option
like -a|--all|-i|--info|-m|--man|-w|--web is passed to "git-help".

The following values are possible for this variable:

	- "man"  --> "man" program is used
	- "info" --> "info" program is used
	- "web"  --> "git-browse-help" is used

By default we still show help using "man".

This patch also adds -m|--man command line option to use "man"
to allow overriding the "help.format" configuration variable.

Note that this patch also revert some recent changes in
"git-browse-help" because they prevented to look for config
variables in the global configuration file.

Christian Couder 5d6491c7c7 git-help: add -w|--web option to display html man page in a browser.
Now when using "git help -w cmd", we will try to show the HTML man
page "git-cmd.html" in your prefered web browser.

To do that "help.c" code will call a new shell script
"git-browse-help".

This currently works only if the HTML versions of the man page
have been installed in $(htmldir) (typically "/usr/share/doc/git-doc"),
so new target to do that is added to "Documentation/Makefile".

The browser to use can be configured using the "web.browser"
config variable.

We try to open a new tab in an existing web browser, if possible.

The code in "git-browse-help" is heavily stolen from "git-mergetool"
by Theodore Y. Ts'o. Thanks.

Prepend $(prefix)/share/man to the MANPATH environment variable before
invoking 'man' from help.c:show_man_page().  There may be other git
documentation in the user's MANPATH but the user is asking a specific
instance of git about its own documentation, so we'd better show the

patch moved exec'ed commands to also use the $PATH. For consistency
"help -a" should also list commands in the $PATH.

The main commands are still listed from the git_exec_path(), but
the $PATH is walked and other git commands (probably extensions) are
listed.

Junio C Hamano cc44c7655f Mechanical conversion to use prefixcmp()
This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when
the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified
easily.  Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including
idiotic conversions like

    if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3))

  =>

    if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo")))

This was done by using this script in px.perl

   #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p
   if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) {
           s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|;
   }
   if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) {
           s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|;
   }

and running:

   $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl

Junio C Hamano 85023577a8 simplify inclusion of system header files.
This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.

 (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
     xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;

 (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
     our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
     builtin.h, pkt-line.h);

 (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
     need not be included in individual C source files.

 (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
     specific header files (e.g. expat.h).
