Jeff King ed7eba9022 shortlog: optimize out useless "<none>" normalization
If we are in --summary mode, we will always pass <none> to
insert_one_record, which will then do some normalization
(e.g., cutting out "[PATCH]"). There's no point in doing so
if we aren't going to use the result anyway.

This drops my best-of-five for "git shortlog -ns HEAD" on
linux.git from:

  real    0m5.257s
  user    0m5.104s
  sys     0m0.156s

to:

  real    0m5.194s
  user    0m5.028s
  sys     0m0.168s

That's only 1%, but arguably the result is clearer to read,
as we're able to group our variable declarations inside the
conditional block. It also opens up further optimization
possibilities for future patches.

Jeff King 4e1d1a2eea shortlog: optimize "--summary" mode
If the user asked us only to show counts for each author,
rather than the individual summary lines, then there is no
point in us generating the summaries only to throw them
away. With this patch, I measured the following speedup for
"git shortlog -ns HEAD" on linux.git (best-of-five):

  [before]
  real    0m5.644s
  user    0m5.472s
  sys     0m0.176s

  [after]
  real    0m5.257s
  user    0m5.104s
  sys     0m0.156s

That's only ~7%, but it's so easy to do, there's no good
reason not to. We don't have to touch any downstream code,
since we already fill in the magic string "<none>" to handle
commits without a message.

Jeff King 2db6b83d18 shortlog: replace hand-parsing of author with pretty-printer
When gathering the author and oneline subject for each
commit, we hand-parse the commit headers to find the
"author" line, and then continue past to the blank line at
the end of the header.

We can replace this tricky hand-parsing by simply asking the
pretty-printer for the relevant items. This also decouples
the author and oneline parsing, opening up some new
optimizations in further commits.

One reason to avoid the pretty-printer is that it might be
less efficient than hand-parsing. However, I measured no
slowdown at all running "git shortlog -ns HEAD" on
linux.git.

As a bonus, we also fix a memory leak in the (uncommon) case
that the author field is blank.

Jeff King 50250491bd shortlog: use strbufs to read from stdin
We currently use fixed-size buffers with fgets(), which
could lead to incorrect results in the unlikely event that a
line had something like "Author:" at exactly its 1024th
character.

But it's easy to convert this to a strbuf, and because we
can reuse the same buffer through the loop, we don't even
pay the extra allocation cost.

Jeff King 5c3894c39d shortlog: match both "Author:" and "author" on stdin
The original git-shortlog could read both the normal "git
log" output as well as "git log --format=raw". However, when
it was converted to C by b8ec592 (Build in shortlog,
2006-10-22), the trailing colon became mandatory, and we no
longer matched the raw output.

Given the amount of intervening time without any bug
reports, it's probable that nobody cares. But it's
relatively easy to fix, and the end result is hopefully more
readable than the original.

Note that this no longer matches "author: ", which we did
before, but that has never been a format generated by git.

Torsten Bögershausen a7630bd427 ls-files: add eol diagnostics
When working in a cross-platform environment, a user may want to
check if text files are stored normalized in the repository and
if .gitattributes are set appropriately.

Make it possible to let Git show the line endings in the index and
in the working tree and the effective text/eol attributes.

The end of line ("eolinfo") are shown like this:

    "-text"        binary (or with bare CR) file
    "none"         text file without any EOL
    "lf"           text file with LF
    "crlf"         text file with CRLF
    "mixed"        text file with mixed line endings.

The effective text/eol attribute is one of these:

    "", "-text", "text", "text=auto", "text eol=lf", "text eol=crlf"

git ls-files --eol gives an output like this:

    i/none   w/none   attr/text=auto      t/t5100/empty
    i/-text  w/-text  attr/-text          t/test-binary-2.png
    i/lf     w/lf     attr/text eol=lf    t/t5100/rfc2047-info-0007
    i/lf     w/crlf   attr/text eol=crlf  doit.bat
    i/mixed  w/mixed  attr/               locale/XX.po

to show what eol convention is used in the data in the index ('i'),
and in the working tree ('w'), and what attribute is in effect,
for each path that is shown.

Add test cases in t0027.

Jacob Keller b3715b7522 notes: allow merging from arbitrary references
Create a new expansion function, expand_loose_notes_ref which will first
check whether the ref can be found using get_sha1. If it can't be found
then it will fallback to using expand_notes_ref. The content of the
strbuf will not be changed if the notes ref can be located using
get_sha1. Otherwise, it may be updated as done by expand_notes_ref.

Since we now support merging from non-notes refs, remove the test case
associated with that behavior. Add a test case for merging from a
non-notes ref.

Junio C Hamano 8f309aeb82 strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()
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().

Junio C Hamano c8aa9fdf5d strbuf: make strbuf_getline_crlf() global
Often we read "text" files that are supplied by the end user
(e.g. commit log message that was edited with $GIT_EDITOR upon 'git
commit -e'), and in some environments lines in a text file are
terminated with CRLF.  Existing strbuf_getline() knows to read a
single line and then strip the terminating byte from the result, but
it is handy to have a version that is more tailored for a "text"
input that takes both '\n' and '\r\n' as line terminator (aka
<newline> in POSIX lingo) and returns the body of the line after
stripping <newline>.

Recently reimplemented "git am" uses such a function implemented
privately; move it to strbuf.[ch] and make it available for others.

Note that we do not blindly replace calls to strbuf_getline() that
uses LF as the line terminator with calls to strbuf_getline_crlf()
and this is very much deliberate.  Some callers may want to treat an
incoming line that ends with CR (and terminated with LF) to have a
payload that includes the final CR, and such a blind replacement
will result in misconversion when done without code audit.

then:

  1. We will fail to clean up the state directory, leaving
     the user stuck in the rebase forever (even "git am

  2. In some cases, we may return a bogus exit code from

     auto-gc succeeded.

We can fix this by ignoring the exit code of "gc --auto".

Johannes Schindelin 7b40ae86a3 config.mak.uname: supporting 64-bit MSys2
This just makes things compile, the test suite needs extra tender loving
care in addition to this change. We will address these issues in later
commits.

While at it, also allow building MSys2 Git (i.e. a Git that uses MSys2's
POSIX emulation layer).

Johannes Schindelin df5218b4c3 config.mak.uname: support MSys2
For a long time, Git for Windows lagged behind Git's 2.x releases because
the Git for Windows developers wanted to let that big jump coincide with
a well-needed jump away from MSys to MSys2.

To understand why this is such a big issue, it needs to be noted that
many parts of Git are not written in portable C, but instead Git relies
on a POSIX shell and Perl to be available.

To support the scripts, Git for Windows has to ship a minimal POSIX
emulation layer with Bash and Perl thrown in, and when the Git for
Windows effort started in August 2007, this developer settled on using
MSys, a stripped down version of Cygwin. Consequently, the original name
of the project was "msysGit" (which, sadly, caused a *lot* of confusion
because few Windows users know about MSys, and even less care).

To compile the C code of Git for Windows, MSys was used, too: it sports
two versions of the GNU C Compiler: one that links implicitly to the
POSIX emulation layer, and another one that targets the plain Win32 API
(with a few convenience functions thrown in).  Git for Windows'
executables are built using the latter, and therefore they are really
just Win32 programs. To discern executables requiring the POSIX
emulation layer from the ones that do not, the latter are called MinGW
(Minimal GNU for Windows) when the former are called MSys executables.

This reliance on MSys incurred challenges, too, though: some of our
changes to the MSys runtime -- necessary to support Git for Windows
better -- were not accepted upstream, so we had to maintain our own
fork. Also, the MSys runtime was not developed further to support e.g.
UTF-8 or 64-bit, and apart from lacking a package management system
until much later (when mingw-get was introduced), many packages provided
by the MSys/MinGW project lag behind the respective source code
versions, in particular Bash and OpenSSL. For a while, the Git for
Windows project tried to remedy the situation by trying to build newer
versions of those packages, but the situation quickly became untenable,
especially with problems like the Heartbleed bug requiring swift action
that has nothing to do with developing Git for Windows further.

Happily, in the meantime the MSys2 project (https://msys2.github.io/)
emerged, and was chosen to be the base of the Git for Windows 2.x. Just
like MSys, MSys2 is a stripped down version of Cygwin, but it is
actively kept up-to-date with Cygwin's source code.  Thereby, it already
supports Unicode internally, and it also offers the 64-bit support that
we yearned for since the beginning of the Git for Windows project.

MSys2 also ported the Pacman package management system from Arch Linux
and uses it heavily. This brings the same convenience to which Linux
users are used to from `yum` or `apt-get`, and to which MacOSX users are
used to from Homebrew or MacPorts, or BSD users from the Ports system,
to MSys2: a simple `pacman -Syu` will update all installed packages to
the newest versions currently available.

MSys2 is also *very* active, typically providing package updates
multiple times per week.

It still required a two-month effort to bring everything to a state
where Git's test suite passes, many more months until the first official
Git for Windows 2.x was released, and a couple of patches still await
their submission to the respective upstream projects. Yet without MSys2,
the modernization of Git for Windows would simply not have happened.

This commit lays the ground work to supporting MSys2-based Git builds.

Alexander Kuleshov bc6bf2d764 format-patch: introduce format.outputDirectory configuration
We can pass -o/--output-directory to the format-patch command to store
patches in some place other than the working directory. This patch
introduces format.outputDirectory configuration option for same
purpose.

The case of usage of this configuration option can be convenience
to not pass every time -o/--output-directory if an user has pattern
to store all patches in the /patches directory for example.

The format.outputDirectory has lower priority than command line
option, so if user will set format.outputDirectory and pass the
command line option, a result will be stored in a directory that
passed to command line option.

Romain Picard a02b8bc4d7 git-p4.py: add support for filetype change
After changing the type of a file in the git repository, it is not possible to
"git p4 publish" the commit to perforce. This is due to the fact that the git
"T" status is not handled in git-p4.py. This can typically occur when replacing
an existing file with a symbolic link.

The "T" modifier is now supported in git-p4.py. When a file type has changed,
inform perforce with the "p4 edit -f auto" command.

Jeff King 2859dcd4c8 lock_ref_sha1_basic: handle REF_NODEREF with invalid refs
We sometimes call lock_ref_sha1_basic with REF_NODEREF
to operate directly on a symbolic ref. This is used, for
example, to move to a detached HEAD, or when updating
the contents of HEAD via checkout or symbolic-ref.

However, the first step of the function is to resolve the
refname to get the "old" sha1, and we do so without telling
resolve_ref_unsafe() that we are only interested in the
symref. As a result, we may detect a problem there not with
the symref itself, but with something it points to.

The real-world example I found (and what is used in the test
suite) is a HEAD pointing to a ref that cannot exist,
because it would cause a directory/file conflict with other
existing refs.  This situation is somewhat broken, of
course, as trying to _commit_ on that HEAD would fail. But
it's not explicitly forbidden, and we should be able to move
away from it. However, neither "git checkout" nor "git
symbolic-ref" can do so. We try to take the lock on HEAD,
which is pointing to a non-existent ref. We bail from
resolve_ref_unsafe() with errno set to EISDIR, and the lock
code thinks we are attempting to create a d/f conflict.

Of course we're not. The problem is that the lock code has
no idea what level we were at when we got EISDIR, so trying
to diagnose or remove empty directories for HEAD is not
useful.

To make things even more complicated, we only get EISDIR in
the loose-ref case. If the refs are packed, the resolution
may "succeed", giving us the pointed-to ref in "refname",
but a null oid. Later, we say "ah, the null oid means we are
creating; let's make sure there is room for it", but
mistakenly check against the _resolved_ refname, not the
original.

We can fix this by making two tweaks:

  1. Call resolve_ref_unsafe() with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
     when REF_NODEREF is set. This means any errors
     we get will be from the orig_refname, and we can act
     accordingly.

     We already do this in the REF_DELETING case, but we
     should do it for update, too.

  2. If we do get a "refname" return from
     resolve_ref_unsafe(), even with RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
     it may be the name of the ref pointed-to by a symref.
     We already normalize this back to orig_refname before
     taking the lockfile, but we need to do so before the
     null_oid check.

While we're rearranging the REF_NODEREF handling, we can
also bump the initialization of lflags to the top of the
function, where we are setting up other flags. This saves us
from having yet another conditional block on REF_NODEREF
just to set it later.
