Since 11b087adfd (ref-filter: consult want_color() before
emitting colors, 2017-07-13), we expect that setting
"color.ui" to "always" will enable color tag formats even
without a tty. As that commit was built on top of
136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in git_default_config(),
2017-07-13) from the same series, we didn't need to touch
tag's config parsing at all.
However, since we reverted 136c8c8b8f, we now need to
explicitly call git_color_default_config() to make this
work.
Let's do so, and also restore the test dropped in 0c88bf5050
(provide --color option for all ref-filter users,
2017-10-03). That commit swapped out our "color.ui=always"
test for "--color" in preparation for "always" going away.
But since it is here to stay, we should test both cases.
Note that for-each-ref also lost its color.ui support as
part of reverting 136c8c8b8f. But as a plumbing command, it
should _not_ respect the color.ui config. Since it also
gained a --color option in 0c88bf5050, that's the correct
way to ask it for color. We'll continue to test that, and
confirm that "color.ui" is not respected.

This reverts commit 136c8c8b8f.
That commit was trying to address a bug caused by 4c7f1819b3
(make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), in which
plumbing like diff-tree defaulted to "auto" color, but did
not respect a "color.ui" directive to disable it.
But it also meant that we started respecting "color.ui" set
to "always". This was a known problem, but 4c7f1819b3 argued
that nobody ought to be doing that. However, that turned out
to be wrong, and we got a number of bug reports related to
"add -p" regressing in v2.14.2.
Let's revert 136c8c8b8, fixing the regression to "add -p".
This leaves the problem from 4c7f1819b3 unfixed, but:
1. It's a pretty obscure problem in the first place. I
only noticed it while working on the color code, and we
haven't got a single bug report or complaint about it.
2. We can make a more moderate fix on top by respecting
"never" but not "always" for plumbing commands. This
is just the minimal fix to go back to the working state
we had before v2.14.2.
Note that this isn't a pure revert. We now have a test in
t3701 which shows off the "add -p" regression. This can be
flipped to success.

This reverts commit 6be4595edb.
That commit weakened the "always" setting of color config so
that it acted as "auto". This was meant to solve regressions
in v2.14.2 in which setting "color.ui=always" in the on-disk
config broke scripts like add--interactive, because the
plumbing diff commands began to generate color output.
This was due to 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in
git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which was in turn trying
to fix issues caused by 4c7f1819b3 (make color.ui default to
'auto', 2013-06-10). But in weakening "always", we created
even more problems, as people expect to be able to use "git
-c color.ui=always" to force color (especially because some
commands don't have their own --color flag). We can fix that
by special-casing the command-line "-c", but now things are
getting pretty confusing.
Instead of piling hacks upon hacks, let's start peeling off
the hacks. The first step is dropping the weakening of
"always", which this revert does.
Note that we could actually revert the whole series merged
in by da15b78e52. Most of that
series consists of preparations to the tests to handle the
weakening of "-c color.ui=always". But it's worth keeping
for a few reasons:
- there are some other preparatory cleanups, like
e433749d86 (test-terminal: set TERM=vt100, 2017-10-03)
- it adds "--color" options more consistently in
0c88bf5050 (provide --color option for all ref-filter
users, 2017-10-03)
- some of the cases dropping "-c" end up being more robust
and realistic tests, as in 01c94e9001 (t7508: use
test_terminal for color output, 2017-10-03)
- the preferred tool for overriding config is "--color",
and we should be modeling that consistently
We can individually revert the few commits necessary to
restore some useful tests (which will be done on top of this
patch).
Note that this isn't a pure revert; we'll keep the test
added in t3701, but mark it as failure for now.

lookup_blob() and lookup_tree() can return NULL if they find an object
of an unexpected type. Accessing the object member is undefined in that
case. Cast the result to a struct object pointer instead; we can do
that because object is the first member of all object types. This trick
is already used in other places in the code.
An error message is already shown by object_as_type(), which is called
by the lookup functions. The walk callback functions are expected to
handle NULL object pointers passed to them, but put_object_name() needs
a valid object, so avoid calling it without one.

Peff points out that different atom parsers handle the empty
"sub-argument" list differently. An example of this is the format
"%(refname:)".
Since callers often use `string_list_split` (which splits the empty
string with any delimiter as a 1-ary string_list containing the empty
string), this makes handling empty sub-argument strings non-ergonomic.
Let's fix this by declaring that atom parser implementations must
not care about distinguishing between the empty string "%(refname:)"
and no sub-arguments "%(refname)". Current code aborts, either with
"unrecognised arg" (e.g. "refname:") or "does not take args"
(e.g. "body:") as an error message.

It can be handy to use `--color=always` (or it's synonym
`--color`) on the command-line to convince a command to
produce color even if it's stdout isn't going to the
terminal or a pager.
What's less clear is whether it makes sense to set config
variables like color.ui to `always`. For a one-shot like:
git -c color.ui=always ...
it's potentially useful (especially if the command doesn't
directly support the `--color` option). But setting `always`
in your on-disk config is much muddier, as you may be
surprised when piped commands generate colors (and send them
to whatever is consuming the pipe downstream).
Some people have done this anyway, because:
1. The documentation for color.ui makes it sound like
using `always` is a good idea, when you almost
certainly want `auto`.
2. Traditionally not every command (and especially not
plumbing) respected color.ui in the first place. So
the confusion came up less frequently than it might
have.
The situation changed in 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui
in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which negated point
(2): now scripts using only plumbing commands (like
add-interactive) are broken by this setting.
That commit was fixing real issues (e.g., by making
`color.ui=never` work, since `auto` is the default), so we
don't want to just revert it. We could turn `always` into a
noop in plumbing commands, but that creates a hard-to-explain
inconsistency between the plumbing and other commands.
Instead, let's just turn `always` into `auto` for all config.
This does break the "one-shot" config shown above, but again,
we're probably better to have simple and consistent rules than
to try to special-case command-line config.
There is one place where `always` should retain its meaning:
on the command line, `--color=always` should continue to be
the same as `--color`, overriding any isatty checks. Since the
command-line parser also depends on git_config_colorbool(), we
can use the existence of the "var" string to deterine whether
we are serving the command-line or the config.

When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd
(ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors,
2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off
and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so
with --color/--no-color.
But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of
ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the
"color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands
the usual color command-line options.
This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the

The point of the test-terminal script is to simulate in the

But since test-lib.sh also sets TERM=dumb, the simulation
isn't very realistic. The color code will skip auto-coloring
for TERM=dumb, leading to us liberally sprinkling
test_terminal env TERM=vt100 git ...
through the test suite to convince the tests to actually
generate colors. Let's set TERM for programs run under
test_terminal, which is one less thing for test-writers to
remember.
In most cases the callers can be simplified, but note there
is one interesting case in t4202. It uses test_terminal to
check the auto-enabling of --decorate, but the expected
output _doesn't_ contain colors (because TERM=dumb
suppresses them). Using TERM=vt100 is closer to what the

The checkpoint command cycles packfiles if object_count != 0, a sensible
test or there would be no pack files to write. Since 820b931012, the
command also dumps branches, tags and marks, but still conditionally.
However, it is possible for a command stream to modify refs or create
marks without creating any new objects.
For example, reset a branch (and keep fast-import running):
$ git fast-import
reset refs/heads/master
from refs/heads/master^
checkpoint
but refs/heads/master remains unchanged.
Other example: a commit command that re-creates an object that already
exists in the object database.
The man page also states that checkpoint "updates the refs" and that
"placing a progress command immediately after a checkpoint will inform
the reader when the checkpoint has been completed and it can safely
access the refs that fast-import updated". This wasn't always true
without this patch.
This fix unconditionally calls dump_{branches,tags,marks}() for all
checkpoint commands. dump_branches() and dump_tags() are cheap to call
in the case of a no-op.

When run with the "-C" option, fast-export writes 'C' commands in its
output whenever the internal diff mechanism detects a file copy,
indicating that fast-import should copy the given existing file to the
given new filename. However, the diff mechanism works against the
prior version of the file, whereas fast-import uses whatever is current.
This causes issues when a commit both modifies a file and uses it as the
source for a copy.
Therefore, teach fast-export to refrain from writing 'C' when it has
already written a modification command for a file.
An existing test in t9350-fast-export is also fixed in this patch. The
existing line "C file6 file7" copies the wrong version of file6, but it
has coincidentally worked because file7 was subsequently overridden.

The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the
requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write
before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial
value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really
write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11).
So checking anything except "was the return value negative"
is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do
so:
1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your
"len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will
promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant.
This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were
trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a
bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed
recently in config.c).
We should avoid promoting the mental model that you
need to check the length at all, so that new sites are
not tempted to copy us.
2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type,
especially when the length is an expression.
3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full()
users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full()
semantics were changed, he wrote:
I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just
check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and
stupid ones.
Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that
writing it this way does not have an intentional
benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never
bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly
cargo-culted into new sites).
So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this
includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for
write_in_full()).
[1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that
write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask
write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is
_larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But
besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken
version of write(), it would already invoke undefined
behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned
size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will
wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly
begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write
gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.
