Junio C Hamano b3e83cc752 hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()
Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to
prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to
die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody
else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to
die upon failure.

This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile
API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to
LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update().

Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop
translating.  Callers other than the ones that are replaced with
this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is
intended with this patch.

Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0:

 - diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an
   opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is
   just before the program exits and nobody should care.

 - builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(),
   builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(),
   sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic
   updates and they are OK.

 - builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront
   but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the
   entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to
   issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock.  We do diagnose
   and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK.

 - wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY.  It asks
   silence, does not check the returned value.  Compare with
   callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it
   is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.

Sometimes we want to apply in a different index file.

But now, as the apply functionality has been libified, it should

Christian Couder 7e1bad24e3 apply: refactor `git apply` option parsing
Parsing `git apply` options can be useful to other commands that
want to call the libified apply functionality, because this way
they can easily pass some options from their own command line to
the libified apply functionality.

This will be used by `git am` in a following patch.

To make this possible, let's refactor the `git apply` option
parsing code into a new libified apply_parse_options() function.

Doing that makes it possible to remove some functions definitions
from "apply.h" and make them static in "apply.c".

Christian Couder 487beee0c3 apply: don't print on stdout in verbosity_silent mode
When apply_verbosity is set to verbosity_silent nothing should be
printed on both stderr and stdout.

To avoid printing on stdout, we can just skip calling the following
functions:

	- stat_patch_list(),
	- numstat_patch_list(),
	- summary_patch_list().

It is safe to do that because the above functions have no side
effects other than printing:

- stat_patch_list() only computes some local values and then call
show_stats() and print_stat_summary(), those two functions only
compute local values and call printing functions,
- numstat_patch_list() also only computes local values and calls
printing functions,
- summary_patch_list() calls show_file_mode_name(), printf(),
show_rename_copy(), show_mode_change() that are only printing.

Christian Couder a46160d27e apply: make it possible to silently apply
This changes 'int apply_verbosely' into 'enum apply_verbosity', and
changes the possible values of the variable from a bool to
a tristate.

The previous 'false' state is changed into 'verbosity_normal'.
The previous 'true' state is changed into 'verbosity_verbose'.

The new added state is 'verbosity_silent'. It should prevent
anything to be printed on both stderr and stdout.

This is needed because `git am` wants to first call apply
functionality silently, if it can then fall back on 3-way merge
in case of error.

Printing on stdout, and calls to warning() or error() are not
taken care of in this patch, as that will be done in following
patches.

Junio C Hamano 0660626caf binary diff: further updates.
This updates the user interface and generated diff data format.

 * "diff --binary" is used to signal that we want an e-mailable
   binary patch.  It implies --full-index and -p.

 * "apply --allow-binary-replacement" acquired a short synonym
   "apply --binary".

 * After the "GIT binary patch\n" header line there is a token
   to record which binary patch mechanism was used, so that we
   can extend it later.  Currently there are two mechanisms
   defined: "literal" and "delta".  The former records the
   deflated postimage and the latter records the deflated delta
   from the preimage to postimage.

   For purely implementation convenience, I added the deflated
   length after these "literal/delta" tokens (otherwise the
   decoding side needs to guess and reallocate the buffer while
   inflating).  Improvement patches are very welcomed.

Junio C Hamano 051308f6e9 binary patch.
This adds "binary patch" to the diff output and teaches apply
what to do with them.

On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary
files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage
and postimage object name on the index line.  This was good
enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository
(very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be
available in such a case.  However, this was not useful when the
recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if
the preimage was available.

This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when
operating under --full-index option.  The binary patch follows
the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this:

	"GIT binary patch\n"
	<length byte><data>"\n"
	...
	"\n"

Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper
or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data
on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ...,
'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...).  <data> is 1 or more groups of
5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85
encoding.  Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte,
an output line is capped to 66 characters.  The payload is the
same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles.

On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the
binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff
was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository
has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always
required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.

Eric W. Biederman 4749588713 Implement limited context matching in git-apply.
Ok this really should be the good version.  The option
handling has been reworked to be automation safe.

Currently to import the -mm tree I have to work around
git-apply by using patch.  Because some of Andrews
patches in quilt will only apply with fuzz.

I started out implementing a --fuzz option and then I realized
fuzz is not a very safe concept for an automated system.  What
you really want is a minimum number of context lines that must
match.  This allows policy to be set without knowing how many
lines of context a patch actually provides.   By default
the policy remains to match all provided lines of context.

Allowng git-apply to match a restricted set of context makes
it much easier to import the -mm tree into git.  I am still only
processing  1.5 to 1.6 patches a second for the 692 patches in
2.6.17-rc1-mm2 is still painful but it does help.

If I just loop through all of Andrews patches in order
and run git-apply --index -C1 I process the entire patchset
in 1m53s or about 6 patches per second.  So running
git-mailinfo, git-write-tree, git-commit-tree, and
git-update-ref everytime has a measurable impact,
and shows things can be speeded up even more.

All of these timings were taking on my poor 700Mhz Athlon
with 512MB of ram.  So people with fast machiens should
see much better performance.

When a match is found after the number of context are reduced a
warning is generated.  Since this is a rare event and possibly
dangerous this seems to make sense.  Unless you are patching
a single file the error message is a little bit terse at
the moment, but it should be easy to go back and fix.

I have also updated the documentation for git-apply to reflect
the new -C option that sets the minimum number of context
lines that must match.

Linus Torvalds c150462824 git-apply: safety fixes
This was triggered by me testing the "@@" numbering shorthand by GNU
patch, which not only showed that git-apply thought it meant the number
was duplicated (when it means that the second number is 1), but my tests
showed than when git-apply mis-understood the number, it would then not
raise an alarm about it if the patch ended early.

Now, this doesn't actually _matter_, since with a three-line context, the
only case that "x,1" will be shorthanded to "x" is when x itself is 1 (in
which case git-apply got it right), but the fact that git-apply would also
silently accept truncated patches was a missed opportunity for additional
sanity-checking.

So make git-apply refuse to look at a patch fragment that ends early.

This doesn't do the "strip-then-apply" thing, but it allows you to make
git-apply generate a warning or error on extraneous whitespace.

Use --whitespace=warn to warn, and (surprise, surprise) --whitespace=error
to make it a fatal error to have whitespace at the end.

Totally untested, of course. But it compiles, so it must be fine.

HOWEVER! Note that this literally will check every single patch-line with
"+" at the beginning. Which means that if you fix a simple typo, and the
line had a space at the end before, and you didn't remove it, that's still
considered a "new line with whitespace at the end", even though obviously
the line wasn't really new.

I assume this is what you wanted, and there isn't really any sane
alternatives (you could make the warning activate only for _pure_
additions with no deletions at all in that hunk, but that sounds a bit
insane).

Johannes Schindelin 5b5d4d9e1b Optionally support old diffs
Some versions of diff do not correctly detect a missing new-line at the end
of the file under certain circumstances.

When defining NO_ACCURATE_DIFF, work around this bug.

Junio C Hamano 5f73076c1a "Assume unchanged" git
This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:

	<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>

This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of.  On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.

You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:

	git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
	git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...

These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file.  Nor they add a new
entry to the index.

When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:

 - update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
   index file.

 - when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.

 - when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
   tree file and register the current object name to the index file.

The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry.  This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.

Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time.  However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:

 - while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
   that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
   modifications.  This sacrifices performance for safety.

 - when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
   to checkout the paths.  Otherwise you can never check
   anything out ;-).

 - when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
   see if the index entry is up to date.  You can start with
   everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
   CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.

Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".

This version is not expected to be perfect.  I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.

But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

Jason Riedy 8361e1d4d3 Use sha1_file.c's mkdir-like routine in apply.c.
As far as I can see, create_subdirectories() in apply.c just
duplicates the functionality of safe_create_leading_directories() from
sha1_file.c.  The former has a warm, fuzzy const parameter, but that's
not important.

The potential problem with EEXIST and creating directories should
never occur here, but will be removed by future
safe_create_leading_directories() changes.  Other uses of EEXIST in
apply.c should be fine barring intentionally malicious behavior.

Junio C Hamano edf2e37002 git-apply: work from subdirectory.
When applying a patch to index file, we need to know where GIT_DIR is;
use setup_git_directory() to find it out.  This also allows us to work
from a subdirectory if we wanted to.

When git-apply is run from a subdirectory, it applies the given patch
only to the files under the current directory and below.
