The recursive merge machinery accumulates its output in an output
buffer, to be flushed at the end of merge_recursive(). At this point,
we forgot to release the output buffer.
When calling merge_trees() (i.e. the non-recursive part of the recursive
merge) directly, the output buffer is never flushed because the caller
may be merge_recursive() which wants to flush the output itself.
For the same reason, merge_trees() cannot release the output buffer: it
may still be needed.
Forgetting to release the output buffer did not matter much when running
git-checkout, or git-merge-recursive, because we exited after the
operation anyway. Ever since cherry-pick learned to pick a commit range,
however, this memory leak had the potential of becoming a problem.

A helper function that takes the contents of a commit object and
finds its subject line did not ignore leading blank lines, as is
commonly done by other codepaths. Make it ignore leading blank
lines to match.
* js/find-commit-subject-ignore-leading-blanks:
reset --hard: skip blank lines when reporting the commit subject
sequencer: use skip_blank_lines() to find the commit subject
commit -C: skip blank lines at the beginning of the message
commit.c: make find_commit_subject() more robust
pretty: make the skip_blank_lines() function public
Previously, callers of merge_trees() or merge_recursive() expected that
code to die() with an error message. This used to be okay because we
called those commands from scripts, and had a chance to print out a
message in case the command failed fatally (read: with exit code 128).
As scripting incurs its own set of problems (portability, speed,
idiosyncrasies of different shells, limited data structures leading to
inefficient code), we are converting more and more of these scripts into
builtins, using library functions directly.
We already tried to use merge_recursive() directly in the builtin
git-am, for example. Unfortunately, we had to roll it back temporarily
because some of the code in merge-recursive.c still deemed it okay to
call die(), when the builtin am code really wanted to print out a useful
advice after the merge failed fatally. In the next commits, we want to
fix that.
The code touched by this commit expected merge_trees() to die() with
some useful message when there is an error condition, but merge_trees()
is going to be improved by converting all die() calls to return error()
instead (i.e. return value -1 after printing out the message as before),
so that the caller can react more flexibly.
This is a step to prepare for the version of merge_trees() that no
longer dies, even if we just imitate the previous behavior by calling
exit(128): this is what callers of e.g. `git merge` have come to expect.
Note that the callers of the sequencer (revert and cherry-pick) already
fail fast even for the return value -1; The only difference is that they
now get a chance to say "<command> failed".
A caller of merge_trees() might want handle error messages themselves
(or even suppress them). As this patch is already complex enough, we
leave that change for a later patch.

For a commit with sha1 "1234abcd" and subject "foo", this
function produces a struct with three strings:
1. "foo"
2. "1234abcd... foo"
3. "parent of 1234abcd... foo"
It takes advantage of the fact that these strings are
subsets of each other, and allocates only _one_ string, with
pointers into the various parts. Unfortunately, this makes
the string allocation complicated and hard to follow.
Since we keep only one of these in memory at a time, we can
afford to simply allocate three strings. This lets us build
on tools like xstrfmt and avoid manual computation.
While we're here, we can also drop the ad-hoc
reimplementation of get_git_commit_encoding(), and simply
call that function.

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

To prepare for allowing a different "ref" backend to be plugged in
to the system, update_ref()/delete_ref() have been taught about
ref-like things like MERGE_HEAD that are per-worktree (they will
always be written to the filesystem inside $GIT_DIR).
* dt/refs-pseudo:
pseudoref: check return values from read_ref()
sequencer: replace write_cherry_pick_head with update_ref
bisect: use update_ref
pseudorefs: create and use pseudoref update and delete functions
refs: add ref_type function
refs: introduce pseudoref and per-worktree ref concepts
One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a
constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two
drawbacks:
1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime
is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc.
2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This
is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it
correctly at least once), but many of these constant
strings appear throughout the code.
This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize"
these strings, which are essentially globals for the
lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take
ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for
subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for
defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few
common ones for global use.
Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely
document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch
them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the
git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of
the stored values), it will be much easier to have the
complete list.
Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual
declarations. We could do something clever with the macros
(e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a
declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't
that many, and it's probably better to stay away from
too-magical macros.
Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of
generating these with a script, we could get much fancier.
E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz".
But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth
the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the
function's definition.

Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.
For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.
This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

Each of these sites assumes that commit->buffer is valid.
Since they would segfault if this was not the case, they are
likely to be correct in practice. However, we can
future-proof them by using get_commit_buffer.
And as a side effect, we abstract away the final bare uses
of commit->buffer.

Like the callsites in the previous commit, logmsg_reencode
already falls back to read_sha1_file when necessary.
However, I split its conversion out into its own commit
because it's a bit more complex.
We return either:
1. The original commit->buffer
2. A newly allocated buffer from read_sha1_file
3. A reencoded buffer (based on either 1 or 2 above).
while trying to do as few extra reads/allocations as
possible. Callers currently free the result with
logmsg_free, but we can simplify this by pointing them
straight to unuse_commit_buffer. This is a slight layering
violation, in that we may be passing a buffer from (3).
However, since the end result is to free() anything except
(1), which is unlikely to change, and because this makes the
interface much simpler, it's a reasonable bending of the
rules.

This simplifies the code, as logmsg_reencode handles the
reencoding for us in a single call. It also means we learn
logmsg_reencode's trick of pulling the buffer from disk when
commit->buffer is NULL (we currently just silently return!).
It is doubtful this matters in practice, though, as
sequencer operations would not generally turn off
save_commit_buffer.
Note that we may be fixing a bug here. The existing code
does:
if (same_encoding(to, from))
reencode_string(buf, to, from);
That probably should have been "!same_encoding".

`do_pick_commit` handles three situations if it is not fast-forwarding.
In order for `do_pick_commit` to identify the situation, it examines the
return value of the selected merge command.
1. return value 0 stands for a clean merge
2. 1 is passed in case of a failed merge due to conflict
3. any other return value means that the merge did not even start
So far, the sequencer returns 1 in case of a failed fast-forward, which
would mean "failed merge due to conflict". However, a fast-forward
either starts and succeeds or does not start at all. In particular, it
cannot fail in between like a merge with a dirty index due to conflicts.
In order to signal the three possible situations (not only success and
failure to complete) after a pick through porcelain commands such as
`cherry-pick`, exit with a return value that is neither 0 nor 1. 128 was
chosen in line with the other situations in which the sequencer
encounters an error. In such situations, the sequencer returns a
negative value and `cherry-pick` translates this into a call to `die`.
`die` then terminates the process with exit status 128.

Change fast_forward_to() to check if locking the ref failed, print a
nice error message and bail out early.
The old code did not check if ref_lock was NULL and relied on the
fact that the write_ref_sha1() would safely detect this condition
and set the return variable ret to indicate an error.
While that is safe, it makes the code harder to read for two reasons:
* Inconsistency. Almost all other places we do check the lock for
NULL explicitly, so the naive reader is confused "why don't we
check here?"
* And relying on write_ref_sha1() to detect and return an error for
when a previous lock_any_ref_for_update() failed feels obfuscated.
This change should not change any functionality or logic aside from
adding an extra error message when this condition is triggered
(write_ref_sha1() returns an error silently for this condition).

I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is
- diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE
- name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED
- preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
builtin/update-index: obvious
- entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
*" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
builtin/checkout.c
- builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
CE_UPDATE
Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.
So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.
The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then
this:

Currently, append_signoff() performs a search for the last line of the
commit buffer by searching back from the end until it hits a newline. If
it reaches the beginning of the buffer without finding a newline, that
means either the commit message was empty, or there was only one line in it.
In this case, append_signoff will skip the call to has_conforming_footer
since it already knows that it is necessary to append a newline before
appending the sob.

appropriately belongs and generalize it so that we require that the

It even included support for accepting indented continuation lines for
multiline fields. Unfortunately the multiline field support is broken
because it checks whether buf[k] (the first character of the *next* line)
instead of buf[i] is a whitespace character. The result is that any footer
with a continuation line is not accepted, since the last continuation line
neither starts with an RFC2822 field name nor is followed by a continuation
line.
That this has remained broken for so long is good evidence that nobody
actually needed multiline fields. Rip out the broken continuation support.
There should be no functional change.

does not match "UTF-8" hence strcasecmp() would not consider the

"git cherry-pick A C B" used to replay changes in A and then B and
then C if these three commits had committer timestamps in that
order, which is not what the user who said "A C B" naturally expects.
* mz/cherry-pick-cmdline-order:
cherry-pick/revert: respect order of revisions to pick
demonstrate broken 'git cherry-pick three one two'
teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sorting
When giving multiple individual revisions to cherry-pick or revert, as
in 'git cherry-pick A B' or 'git revert B A', one would expect them to
be picked/reverted in the order given on the command line. They are
instead ordered by their commit timestamp -- in chronological order
for "cherry-pick" and in reverse chronological order for
"revert". This matches the order in which one would usually give them
on the command line, making this bug somewhat hard to notice. Still,
it has been reported at least once before [1].
It seems like the chronological sorting happened by accident because
the revision walker has traditionally always sorted commits in reverse
chronological order when rev_info.no_walk was enabled. In the case of
'git revert B A' where B is newer than A, this sorting is a no-op. For
'git cherry-pick A B', the sorting would reverse the arguments, but
because the sequencer also flips the rev_info.reverse flag when
picking (as opposed to reverting), the end result is a chronological
order. The rev_info.reverse flag was probably flipped so that the
revision walker emits B before C in 'git cherry-pick A..C'; that it
happened to effectively undo the unexpected sorting done when not
walking, was probably a coincidence that allowed this bug to happen at
all.
Fix the bug by telling the revision walker not to sort the commits
when not walking. The only case we want to reverse the order is now
when cherry-picking and walking revisions (rev_info.no_walk = 0).

history. Such a cherry-pick would result in an empty change, and
should stop with an error, telling the user that conflict resolution
may have made the result empty (which is exactly what is happening),
but we silently dropped the change on the floor without any message
nor non-zero exit code.

In the case the pointer could be NULL, the function that gave the caller
the NULL pointer would already have issued an error message, so simply
returning early with an error status without issuing a new message is
sufficient. The same for parse_commit() that will show necessary error
message when the argument is not NULL, and will return error silently
when the argument is NULL.

"git rebase" learned to optionally keep commits that do not introduce
any change in the original history.
By Neil Horman
* nh/empty-rebase:
git-rebase: add keep_empty flag
git-cherry-pick: Add test to validate new options
git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits option
git-cherry-pick: add allow-empty option
There is no need for "commit_list_reverse()" function that only invites
inefficient code.

* rs/commit-list-append:
commit: remove commit_list_reverse()
revision: append to list instead of insert and reverse
sequencer: export commit_list_append()
In the older days, the header "Conflicts:" in "cherry-pick" and
"merge" was separated by a blank line from the list of paths that
follow for readability, but when "merge" was rewritten in C, we lost
it by mistake. Remove the newline from "cherry-pick" to make them
match again.

The git-cherry-pick --allow-empty command by default only preserves empty
commits that were originally empty, i.e only those commits for which
<commit>^{tree} and <commit>^^{tree} are equal. By default commits which are
non-empty, but were made empty by the inclusion of a prior commit on the current
history are filtered out. This option allows us to override that behavior and
include redundant commits as empty commits in the change history.
Note that this patch changes the default behavior of git cherry-pick slightly.
Prior to this patch all commits in a cherry-pick sequence were applied and git
commit was run. The implication here was that, if a commit was redundant, and
the commit did not trigger the fast forward logic, the git commit operation, and
therefore the git cherry-pick operation would fail, displaying the cherry pick
advice (i.e. run git commit --allow-empty). With this patch however, such
redundant commits are automatically skipped without stopping, unless
--keep-redundant-commits is specified, in which case, they are automatically
applied as empty commits.

git cherry-pick fails when picking a non-ff commit that is empty. The advice
given with the failure is that a git-commit --allow-empty should be issued to
explicitly add the empty commit during the cherry pick. This option allows a
user to specify before hand that they want to keep the empty commit. This
eliminates the need to issue both a cherry pick and a commit operation.

This macro already evaluates to the correct type, as it
casts the string literal to "unsigned char *" itself
(and callers who want the literal can use the _LITERAL

When cherry-pick fails it offers a helpful hint about how to
proceed. The hint tells the user how to do the cleanup
needed by the conflicted cherry-pick and finish the job after
conflict resolution. In case of cherry-pick --no-commit, the
hint goes too far. It tells the user to finish up with
'git commit'. That is not what this git-cherry-pick was
trying to do in the first place.
Restrict the hint in case of --no-commit to avoid giving this
extra advice.
Also, add a test verifying the reduced hint for the --no-commit
version of cherry-pick.

Expose the cherry-picking machinery through a public
sequencer_pick_revisions() (renamed from pick_revisions() in
builtin/revert.c), so that cherry-picking and reverting are special
cases of a general sequencer operation. The cherry-pick builtin is
now a thin wrapper that does command-line argument parsing before
calling into sequencer_pick_revisions(). In the future, we can write
a new "foo" builtin that calls into the sequencer like:
memset(&opts, 0, sizeof(opts));
opts.action = REPLAY_FOO;
opts.revisions = xmalloc(sizeof(*opts.revs));
parse_args_populate_opts(argc, argv, &opts);
init_revisions(opts.revs);
sequencer_pick_revisions(&opts);
This patch does not intend to make any functional changes. Check
with:
$ git blame -s -C HEAD^..HEAD -- sequencer.c | grep -C3 '^[^^]'

Now that "git reset" no longer implicitly removes .git/sequencer that
the operator may or may not have wanted to keep, the logic to write a
backup copy of .git/sequencer and remove it when stale is not needed
any more. Simplify the sequencer API and repository layout by
dropping it.

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.
