Currently, when parse_options() produces a help message it always emits
a blank line after the usage text to separate it from the options text.
If the option spec does not define any switches, or only defines hidden
switches that will not be displayed, then the help text will end up with
two trailing blank lines instead of one. Let's defer emitting the blank
line between the usage text and the options text until it is clear that
the options section will not be empty.

Change all the "TRANSLATORS: [...]" comments in the C code to use the
regular Git coding style, and amend the style guide so that the
example there uses that style.
This custom style was necessary back in 2010 when the gettext support
was initially added, and was subsequently documented in commit
cbcfd4e3ea ("i18n: mention "TRANSLATORS:" marker in
Documentation/CodingGuidelines", 2014-04-18).
GNU xgettext hasn't had the parsing limitation that necessitated this
exception for almost 3 years. Since its 0.19 release on 2014-06-02
it's been able to recognize TRANSLATOR comments in the standard Git
comment syntax[1].
Usually we'd like to keep compatibility with software that's that
young, but in this case literally the only person who needs to be
using a gettext newer than 3 years old is Jiang Xin (the only person
who runs & commits "make pot" results), so I think in this case we can
make an exception.
This xgettext parsing feature was added after a thread on the Git
mailing list[2] which continued on the bug-gettext[3] list, but we
never subsequently changed our style & styleguide, do so.
There are already longstanding changes in git that use the standard
comment style & have their TRANSLATORS comments extracted properly
without getting the literal "*"'s mixed up in the text, as would
happen before xgettext 0.19.
Commit 7ff2683253 ("builtin-am: implement -i/--interactive",
2015-08-04) added one such comment, which in commit df0617bfa7 ("l10n:
git.pot: v2.6.0 round 1 (123 new, 41 removed)", 2015-09-05) got picked
up in the po/git.pot file with the right format, showing that Jiang
already runs a modern xgettext.
The xgettext parser does not handle the sort of non-standard comment
style that I'm amending here in sequencer.c, but that isn't standard
Git comment syntax anyway. With this change to sequencer.c & "make
pot" the comment in the pot file is now correct:
#. TRANSLATORS: %s will be "revert", "cherry-pick" or
-#. * "rebase -i".
+#. "rebase -i".

The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static
storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already
fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the
calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to
confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once
in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from
parse_chunk()).
Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return
value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is
empty (and we could just return the original file pointer).
That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't
otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in
performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_
allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about
performance is questionable anyway).
The downside is that the callers need to remember to free()
the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used
xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The
remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate.
I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases
where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the
cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases,
though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying
about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any
situation.

This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in
every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's
simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves
callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL
prefix).
In a handful of cases we had the length already without
calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not
likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty
we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

Programs may use usage_msg_opt() to print a brief message

or: git replace [-f] --edit <object>

OPT_COUNTUP() merely increments the counter upon --option, and resets it
to 0 upon --no-option, which means that there is no "unspecified" value
with which a client can initialize the counter to determine whether or
not --[no]-option was seen at all.
Make OPT_COUNTUP() treat any negative number as an "unspecified" value
to address this shortcoming. In particular, if a client initializes the
counter to -1, then if it is still -1 after parse_options(), then
neither --option nor --no-option was seen; if it is 0, then --no-option
was seen last, and if it is 1 or greater, than --option was seen last.
This change does not affect the behavior of existing clients because
they all use the initial value of 0 (or more).
Note that builtin/clean.c initializes the variable used with
OPT__FORCE (which uses OPT_COUNTUP()) to a negative value, but it is set
to either 0 or 1 by reading the configuration before the code calls
parse_options(), i.e. as far as parse_options() is concerned, the
initial value of the variable is not negative.
To test this behavior, in test-parse-options.c, "verbose" is set to
"unspecified" while quiet is set to 0 which will test the new behavior
with all sets of values.

Add checks for a common programming mistake to assign the same

It is easy to overlook an already assigned single-letter option name

before such a mistake escapes the lab.
This retroactively forbids any short option name (which is defined
to be of type "int") outside the ASCII printable range. We might
want to do one of two things:
- tighten the type of short_name member to 'char', and further
update optbug() to protect it against doing "'%c'" on a funny
value, e.g. negative or above 127.
- drop the check (even the "duplicate" check) for an option whose
short_name is either negative or above 255, to allow clever folks
to take advantage of the fact that such a short_name cannot be
parsed from the command line and the member can be used to store
some extra information.

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);

There are a few error functions that simply wrap error() and
provide a standardized message text. Like error(), they
always return -1; knowing that can help the compiler silence
some false positive -Wuninitialized warnings.
One strategy would be to just declare these as inline in the
header file so that the compiler can see that they always
return -1. However, gcc does not always inline them (e.g.,
it will not inline opterror, even with -O3), which renders
our change pointless.
Instead, let's follow the same route we did with error() in
the last patch, and define a macro that makes the constant
return value obvious to the compiler.

Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.
Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".
As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.
The unicode decomposition causes many problems:
- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.
- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
consistency in general).
- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
readdir().
NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.
As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can
- wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and
- normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
precomposed form,
to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.
The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.
The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.
When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".
The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.

It is natural to expect that an option defined with OPT_BOOLEAN() could be
used in this way:
int option = -1; /* unspecified */
struct option options[] = {
OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "option", &option, "set option"),
OPT_END()
};
parse_options(ac, av, prefix, options, usage, 0);
if (option < 0)
... do the default thing ...
else if (!option)
... --no-option was given ...
else
... --option was given ...
to easily tell three cases apart:
- There is no mention of the `--option` on the command line;
- The variable is positively set with `--option`; or
- The variable is explicitly negated with `--no-option`.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. OPT_BOOLEAN() increments the variable
every time `--option` is given, and resets it to zero when `--no-option`
is given.
As a first step to remedy this, introduce a true boolean OPT_BOOL(), and
rename OPT_BOOLEAN() to OPT_COUNTUP(). To help transitioning, OPT_BOOLEAN
and OPTION_BOOLEAN are defined as deprecated synonyms to OPT_COUNTUP and
OPTION_COUNTUP respectively.
This is what db7244b (parse-options new features., 2007-11-07) from four
years ago started by marking OPTION_BOOLEAN as "INCR would have been a
better name".
Some existing users do depend on the count-up semantics; for example,
users of OPT__VERBOSE() could use it to raise the verbosity level with
repeated use of `-v` on the command line, but they probably should be
rewritten to use OPT__VERBOSITY() instead these days. I suspect that some
users of OPT__FORCE() may also use it to implement different level of
forcibleness but I didn't check.
On top of this patch, here are the remaining clean-up tasks that other
people can help:
- Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT_BOOLEAN"; trace all uses of the
value that is set to the underlying variable, and if it can proven that
the variable is only used as a boolean, replace it with OPT_BOOL(). If
the caller does depend on the count-up semantics, replace it with
OPT_COUNTUP() instead.
- Same for OPTION_BOOLEAN; replace it with OPTION_SET_INT and arrange to
set 1 to the variable for a true boolean, and otherwise replace it with
OPTION_COUNTUP.
- Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT__VERBOSE -e OPT__QUIET" and see if
they can be replaced with OPT__VERBOSITY().
I'll follow this message up with a separate patch as an example.

constraint. For example, update-index --cacheinfo takes three
arguments, and update-index --resolve takes all later parameters as
arguments.
Introduces an OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK backdoor to parse-options so
such option types can be supported without tempting inventors of other
commands through mention in the public API. Commands can set the
callback field to a function accepting three arguments: the option
parsing context, the option itself, and a flag indicating whether the
the option was negated. When the option is encountered, that function
is called to take over from get_value(). The return value should be
zero for success, -1 for usage errors.
Thanks to Stephen Boyd for API guidance.

The PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP flag allows a program to override the
standard "<argument> for mandatory, [argument] for optional" markup in
its help message. Extend it to override the usual "no text for
disallowed", too (for the PARSE_OPT_NOARG | PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP
case, which was previously meaningless), to be more intuitive.
The motivation is to allow update-index to correctly advertise
--cacheinfo <mode> <object> <path>
add the specified entry to the index
while abusing PARSE_OPT_NOARG to disallow the "sticked form"
--cacheinfo=<mode> <object> <path>

Simplify the "takes no value" error path by relying on PARSE_OPT_NOARG
being set correctly. That is:
- if the PARSE_OPT_NOARG flag is set, reject --opt=value
regardless of the option type;
- if the PARSE_OPT_NOARG flag is unset, accept --opt=value
regardless of the option type.
This way, the accepted usage more closely matches the usage advertised
with --help-all.
No functional change intended, since the NOARG flag is only used
with "boolean-only" option types in existing parse_options callers.

Some option types cannot use an argument --- boolean options that
would set a bit or flag or increment a counter, for example. If
configured in the flag word to accept an argument anyway, the result
is an argument that is advertised in "program -h" output only to be
rejected by parse-options::get_value.
Luckily all current users of these option types use PARSE_OPT_NOARG
and do not use PARSE_OPT_OPTARG. Add a check to ensure that that
remains true. The check is run once for each invocation of
parse_option_start().

A dashless switch (like '(' passed to 'git grep') cannot be negated,
cannot be attached to an argument, and cannot have a long form.
Currently parse-options runs the related sanity checks when the
dashless option is used; better to always check them at the start of
option parsing, so mistakes can be caught more quickly.
The error message at the new call site is less specific about the
nature of the error, for simplicity. On the other hand, it prints
which switch was problematic. Before:
fatal: BUG: dashless options can't be long
After:
error: BUG: switch '(' uses feature not supported for dashless options

The PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT flag is meant for options like
--contains that (1) traditionally had a mandatory argument and
(2) have some better behavior to use when appearing in the final
position. It makes no sense to combine this with OPTARG, so ever
since v1.6.4-rc0~71 (parse-options: add parse_options_check to
validate option specs, 2009-07-09) this mistake is flagged with
error: `--option` uses incompatible flags LASTARG_DEFAULT and OPTARG
and an exit status representing an error in commandline usage.
Unfortunately that which might confuse scripters calling such an
erroneous program into thinking the _script_ contains an error.
Clarify that it is an internal error by dying with a message beginning
"error: BUG: ..." and status 128.
While at it, clean up parse_options_check to prepare for more checks.
Long term, it would be nicer to make such checks happen at compile
time.

parse_options_check() is being called for each invocation of
parse_options_step which can be quite a bit for some commands. The
commit introducing this function cb9d398 (parse-options: add
parse_options_check to validate option specs., 2009-06-09) had the
correct motivation and explicitly states that parse_options_check()
should be called from parse_options_start(). However, the implementation
differs from the motivation. Fix it.

9c7304e (print the usage string on stdout instead of stderr,
2010-05-17) broke rev-parse --parseopt: when run with -h, the usage
notice on stdout ended up in the shell eval.
Wrap the usage in a cat <<\EOF ... EOF block when printing to stdout.
I do not expect any usage lines to ever start with EOF so this
shouldn't be an undue burden.

Make git-branch, git-show-branch, git-grep, and all the diff-based
programs accept an optional argument <when> for --color. The argument
is a colorbool: "always", "never", or "auto". If no argument is given,
"always" is used; --no-color is an alias for --color=never. This makes
the command-line interface consistent with other GNU tools, such as `ls'
and `grep', and with the git-config color options. Note that, without
an argument, --color and --no-color work exactly as before.
To implement this, two internal changes were made:
1. Allow the first argument of git_config_colorbool() to be NULL,
in which case it returns -1 if the argument isn't "always", "never",
or "auto".
2. Add OPT_COLOR_FLAG(), OPT__COLOR(), and parse_opt_color_flag_cb()
to the option parsing library. The callback uses
git_config_colorbool(), so color.h is now a dependency
of parse-options.c.
