Currently parse-options.o pulls quite a big bunch of dependencies.
his complicates it's usage in contrib/ because it pulls external
dependencies and it also increases executables size.
Split off less generic and more internal to git part of
parse-options.c to parse-options-cb.c.
Move prefix_filename function from setup.c to abspath.c. abspath.o
and wrapper.o pull each other, so it's unlikely to increase the
dependencies. It was a dependency of parse-options.o that pulled
many others.
Now parse-options.o pulls just abspath.o, ctype.o, strbuf.o, usage.o,
wrapper.o, libc directly and strlcpy.o indirectly.

In order to do partial commits, git-commit overlays a tree on the
cache and checks pathspecs against the result. Currently, the
overlaying is done using "prefix" which prevents relative pathspecs
with ".." and absolute pathspec from matching when they refer to
files not under "prefix" and absent from the index, but still in
the tree (i.e. files staged for removal).
The point of providing a prefix at all is performance optimization.
If we say there is no common prefix for the files of interest, then
we have to read the entire tree into the index.
But even if we cannot use the working directory as a prefix, we can
still figure out if there is a common prefix for all given paths,
and use that instead. The pathspec_prefix() routine from ls-files.c
does exactly that.
Any use of global variables is removed from pathspec_prefix() so
that it can be called from commit.c.

"git cmd :/no-such-string-ever-existed" runs an extra round of get_sha1()
since 009fee4 (Detailed diagnosis when parsing an object name fails.,
2009-12-07). Once without error diagnosis to see there is no commit with
such a string in the log message (hence "it cannot be a ref"), and after
seeing that :/no-such-string-ever-existed is not a filename (hence "it
cannot be a path, either"), another time to give "better diagnosis".
The thing is, the second time it runs, we already know that traversing the
history all the way down to the root will _not_ find any matching commit.
Rename misguided "gently" parameter, which is turned off _only_ when the
"detailed diagnosis" codepath knows that it cannot be a ref and making the
call only for the caller to die with a message. Flip its meaning (and
adjust the callers) and call it "only_to_die", which is not a great name,
but it describes far more clearly what the codepaths that switches their
behaviour based on this variable do.
On my box, the command spends ~1.8 seconds without the patch to make the
report; with the patch it spends ~1.12 seconds.

We may want to give the pathspec subsystem such a feature, but not while
we are still using get_pathspec() that returns a stupid "char **" that
loses subtle nuances that existed in the input string.
In the meantime, the callers of get_pathspec() that want to support it
could do an equivalent before feeding their argv[] to the function
themselves quite easily.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
This reverts commit d0546e2d48, which
was only meant to be a Proof-of-concept used during the discussion.
The real implementation of the feature needs to wait until we migrate
all the code to use "struct pathspec", not "char **", to represent
richer semantics given to pathspec.
The earlier design was to take whatever non-alnum that the short format
parser happens to support, leaving the rest as part of the pattern, so a
version of git that knows '*' magic and a version that does not would have
behaved differently when given ":*Makefile". The former would have
applied the '*' magic to the pattern "Makefile", while the latter would
used no magic to the pattern "*Makefile".
Instead, just reserve all non-alnum ASCII letters that are neither glob
nor regexp special as potential magic signature, and when we see a magic
that is not supported, die with an error message, just like the longhand
codepath does.
With this, ":%#!*Makefile" will always mean "%#!" magic applied to the
pattern "*Makefile", no matter what version of git is used (it is a
different matter if the version of git supports all of these three magic
matching rules).
Also make ':' without anything else to mean "there is no pathspec". This
would allow differences between "git log" and "git log ." run from the top
level of the working tree (the latter simplifies no-op commits away from
the history) to be expressed from a subdirectory by saying "git log :".

Support ":/" magic string that can be prefixed to a pathspec element to
say "this names the path from the top-level of the working tree", when
you are in the subdirectory.
For example, you should be able to say:
$ edit Makefile ;# top-level
$ cd Documentation
$ edit git.txt ;# in the subdirectory
and then do one of three things, still inside the subdirectory:
$ git add -u . ;# add only Documentation/git.txt
$ git add -u :/ ;# add everything, including paths outside Documentation
$ git add -u ;# whatever the default setting is.
To truly support magic pathspec, the API needs to be restructured so that
get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() are unified into one call. Currently,
the former just prefixes the user supplied pathspec with the current
subdirectory path, and the latter takes the output from the former and
pre-parses them into a bit richer structure for easier handling. They
should become a single API function that takes the current subdirectory
path and the remainder of argv[] (after parsing --options and revision
arguments from the command line) and returns an array of parsed pathspec
elements, and "magic" should become attributes of struct pathspec_item.
This patch implements only "top" magic because it can be hacked into the
system without such a refactoring.
The syntax for magic pathspec prefix is designed to be extensible yet
simple to type to invoke a simple magic like "from the top". The parser
for the magic prefix is hooked into get_pathspec() function in this patch,
and it needs to be moved when we refactor the API.
But we have to start from somewhere.

The original intention of --work-tree was to allow people to work in a
subdirectory of their working tree that does not have an embedded .git
directory. Because their working tree, which their $cwd was in, did not
have an embedded .git, they needed to use $GIT_DIR to specify where it is,
and because this meant there was no way to discover where the root level
of the working tree was, so we needed to add $GIT_WORK_TREE to tell git
where it was.
However, this facility has long been (mis)used by people's scripts to
start git from a working tree _with_ an embedded .git directory, let git
find .git directory, and then pretend as if an unrelated directory were
the associated working tree of the .git directory found by the discovery
process. It happens to work in simple cases, and is not worth causing
"regression" to these scripts.

get_git_work_tree() takes input as core.worktree, core.bare,

Unfortunately it does not do its job well. core.worktree and
GIT_WORK_TREE should only be taken into account, if GIT_DIR is set
(which is handled by setup_explicit_git_dir). For other setup cases,
only core.bare matters.
Add a temporary variable setup_explicit to adjust get_git_work_tree()
behavior as such. This variable will be gone once setup_* rework is
done.
Also remove is_bare_repository_cfg check in set_git_work_tree() to
ease the rework. We are going to check for core.bare and core.worktree
early before setting worktree. For example, if core.bare is true, no
need to set worktree.

Save the path from the original cwd to the cwd at the end of the
setup procedure in the startup_info struct introduced in e37c1329
(2010-08-05). The value cannot vary from thread to thread anyway,
since the cwd is global.
So now in your builtin command, instead of passing prefix around,
when you want to convert a user-supplied path to a cwd-relative
path, you can use startup_info->prefix directly.
Caveat: As with the return value from setup_git_directory_gently(),
startup_info->prefix would be NULL when the original cwd is not a
subdir of the toplevel.
Longer term, this would allow the prefix to be reused when several
noncooperating functions require access to the same repository (for
example, when accessing configuration before running a builtin).

As v1.7.2~16^2 (git --paginate: paginate external commands
again, 2010-07-14) explains, builtins (like git config) that
do not use RUN_SETUP are not finding GIT_DIR set correctly when
it is time to launch the pager from run_builtin(). If they
were to search for a repository sooner, then the outcome of such
early repository accesses would be more predictable and reliable.
The cmd_*() functions learn whether a repository was found through the
*nongit_ok return value from setup_git_directory_gently(). If
run_builtin() is to take care of the repository search itself, that
datum needs to be retrievable from somewhere else. Use the
startup_info struct for this.
As a bonus, this information becomes available to functions such as
git_config() which might want to avoid trying to access a repository
when none is present.
