Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 5b893f7d81 git-sh-setup.sh: remove "say" function, change last users
Remove the "say" function, with various rewrites of the remaining
git-*.sh code to C and the preceding change to have git-submodule.sh
stop using the GIT_QUIET variable there were only four uses in
git-subtree.sh. Let's have it use an "arg_quiet" variable instead, and
move the "say" function over to it.

The only other use was a trivial message in git-instaweb.sh, since it
has never supported the --quiet option (or similar) that code added in
0b624b4cee (instaweb: restart server if already running, 2009-11-22)
can simply use "echo" instead.

The remaining in-tree hits from "say" are all for the sibling function
defined in t/test-lib.sh. It's safe to remove this function since it
has never been documented in Documentation/git-sh-setup.txt.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 85775255f1 git-submodule.sh: remove unused sanitize_submodule_env()
The sanitize_submodule_env() function was last used before
b3c5f5cb04 (submodule: move core cmd_update() logic to C,
2022-03-15), let's remove it.

This also allows us to remove clear_local_git_env() from
git-sh-setup.sh. That function hasn't been documented in
Documentation/git-sh-setup.sh, and since 14111fc492 (git: submodule
honor -c credential.* from command line, 2016-02-29) it had only been
used in the sanitize_submodule_env() function being removed here.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason ebeb39faad git-sh-setup: remove "sane_grep", it's not needed anymore
Remove the sane_grep() shell function in git-sh-setup. The two reasons
for why it existed don't apply anymore:

1. It was added due to GNU grep supporting GREP_OPTIONS. See
   e1622bfcba (Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity,
   2009-11-23).

   Newer versions of GNU grep ignore that, but even on older versions
   its existence won't matter, none of these sane_grep() uses care
   about grep's output, they're merely using it to check if a string
   exists in a file or stream. We also don't care about the "LC_ALL=C"
   that "sane_grep" was using, these greps for fixed or ASCII strings
   will behave the same under any locale.

2. The SANE_TEXT_GREP added in 71b401032b (sane_grep: pass "-a" if
   grep accepts it, 2016-03-08) isn't needed either, none of these grep
   uses deal with binary data.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason d7927d428c git-sh-setup: remove unused sane_egrep() function
The is_zero_oid() function in git-submodule.sh has not been used since
e83e3333b5 (submodule: port submodule subcommand 'summary' from shell
to C, 2020-08-13), so we can remove it, and the sane_egrep() function,
dead is_zero_oid() was the only function which still referenced it.

Unlike some other functions in git-sh-setup.sh, this function has not
been documented in git-sh-setup(1), so per [1] it should be OK to
remove it. I'm still unclear about the future of some of the other
functions[2], but any questions in that area should not apply here.

Remove the "pull with rebase" message previously used by the

Even if some out-of-tree user copy/pasted the old git-pull.sh code,

Johannes Schindelin 90a462725e stash: optionally use the scripted version again
We recently converted the `git stash` command from Unix shell scripts
to builtins.

Let's end users a way out when they discover a bug in the
builtin command: `stash.useBuiltin`.

As the file name `git-stash` is already in use, let's rename the
scripted backend to `git-legacy-stash`.

To make the test suite pass with `stash.useBuiltin=false`, this commit
also backports rudimentary support for `-q` (but only *just* enough
to appease the test suite), and adds a super-ugly hack to force exit
code 129 for `git stash -h`.

    fatal: $program_name cannot be used without a working tree.

Catch these mistakes with

d323c6b641 ("i18n: git-sh-setup.sh: mark strings for translation",
2016-06-17) started to dot-source git-sh-i18n shell script library,
assuming that $PATH is already adjusted for our scripts, namely,
$GIT_EXEC_PATH is at the beginning of $PATH.

Old contrib scripts like contrib/convert-grafts-to-replace-refs.sh
and contrib/rerere-train.sh and third-party scripts like guilt may
however be using this as ". $(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup",
without satisfying that assumption.  Be more explicit by specifying
its path prefixed with "$(git --exec-path)/". to be safe.

While we’re here, move the sourcing of git-sh-i18n below the shell
portability fixes.

LE Manh Cuong 01247e0299 sh-setup: enclose setting of ${VAR=default} in double-quotes
We often make sure an environment variable is set to
something, either set by the user (in which case we do not
molest it) or set it to our default value (otherwise), with

	: ${VAR=default value}

i.e. running the no-op command ":" with ${VAR} as its
parameters (or the default value we supply), relying on that
":" is a no-op.

This pattern, even though it is no-op from correctness point
of view, still can be expensive if the existing value in VAR
has shell glob (because they will be expanded against
filesystem entities) and IFS whitespaces (because the value
need to be split into multiple parameters).  Our invocation
of ":" command does not care if the parameter given to it is
after the value in VAR goes through these processing.

Enclosing the whole thing in double-quote, i.e.

	: "${VAR=default value}"

avoids paying the unnecessary cost, so let's do so.

Vasco Almeida d323c6b641 i18n: git-sh-setup.sh: mark strings for translation
Positional arguments, such as $0, $1, etc, need to be stored on shell
variables for use in translatable strings, according to gettext manual
[1].

Add git-sh-setup.sh to LOCALIZED_SH variable in Makefile to enable
extraction of string marked for translation by xgettext.

Source git-sh-i18n in git-sh-setup.sh for gettext support.
git-sh-setup.sh is a shell library to be sourced by other shell scripts.
In order to avoid other scripts from sourcing git-sh-i18n twice, remove
line that sources it from them.  Not sourcing git-sh-i18n in any script
that uses gettext would lead to failure due to, for instance, gettextln
not being found.

Matthieu Moy b3275838d9 pager: remove 'S' from $LESS by default
By default, Git used to set $LESS to -FRSX if $LESS was not set by
the user. The FRX flags actually make sense for Git (F and X because
sometimes the output Git pipes to less is short, and R because Git
pipes colored output). The S flag (chop long lines), on the other
hand, is not related to Git and is a matter of user preference. Git
should not decide for the user to change LESS's default.

More specifically, the S flag harms users who review untrusted code
within a pager, since a patch looking like:

    -old code;
    +new good code; [... lots of tabs ...] malicious code;

would appear identical to:

    -old code;
    +new good code;

Users who prefer the old behavior can still set the $LESS environment
variable to -FRSX explicitly, or set core.pager to 'less -S'.

The documentation in config.txt is made a bit longer to keep both an
example setting the 'S' flag (needed to recover the old behavior)
and an example showing how to unset a flag set by Git.

2014-01-13 11:33:35 -08:00
Jonathan Nieder e54c1f2d25 pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:

	$ git diff
	^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
	^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
	^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m

"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default.  Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.

Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in
v1.8.4-rc0~36^2~1 (2013-06-10).

Jonathan Nieder 11d62145b9 remove #!interpreter line from shell libraries
In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.

The harm:

 - When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
   the #! line are not used.  Specifying a particular shell can
   confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
   to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.

 - Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
   that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.

 - Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
   installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
   executable.  This check does not work if shell libraries also start
   with a #! line.

The good:

 - Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
   if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
   place.

The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix).  Replace the opening #! lines with comments.

This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).

Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian.  Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.

Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:

	find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
	while read file
	do
		read line <"$file"
		case $line in
		'#!'*)
			echo "$file"
			;;
		esac
	done

The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests
(t/t4034/perl/{pre,post}).

turning \t in commit messages into actual tabulations. There may be
others.

Using "printf '%s\n'" instead avoids this bad behavior, and is the form
used by the "say" function.

Junio C Hamano c3e2d18996 setup_reflog_action: document the rules for using GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
The set_reflog_action helper (in git-sh-setup) is designed to be
used once at the very top of a program, like this in "git am", for
example:

	set_reflog_action am

The helper function sets the given string to GIT_REFLOG_ACTION only
when GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is not yet set.  Thanks to this, "git am",
when run as the top-level program, will use "am" in GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
and the reflog entries made by whatever it does will record the
updates of refs done by "am".

Because of the conditional assignment, when "git am" is run as a
subprogram (i.e. an implementation detail) of "git rebase" that
already sets GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to its own name, the call in "git am"
to the helper function at the beginning will *not* have any effect.

So "git rebase" can do this:

	set_reflog_action rebase
	... do its own preparation, like checking out "onto" commit
        ... decide to do "format-patch" to "am" pipeline
        	git format-patch --stdout >mbox
		git am mbox

and the reflog entries made inside "git am" invocation will say
"rebase", not "am".

Calls to "git" commands that update refs would use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
to record who did that update.  Most such calls in scripted Porcelains
do not define custom reflog message and rely on GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to
contain its (or its caller's, when it is called as a subprogram) name.

If a scripted Porcelain wants to record a custom reflog message for
a single invocation of "git" command (e.g. when "git rebase" uses
"git checkout" to detach HEAD at the commit a series is to be
replayed on), it needs to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to the custom
message and export it while calling the "git" command, but such an
assignment must be restricted to that single "git" invocation and
should not be left behind to affect later codepath.

Document the rules to avoid future confusion.

Kevin Bracey 4549162e8d mergetools/p4merge: create a base if none available
Originally, with no base, Git gave P4Merge $LOCAL as a dummy base:

   p4merge "$LOCAL" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"

Commit 0a0ec7bd changed this to:

   p4merge "empty file" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"

to avoid the problem of being unable to save in some circumstances with
similar inputs.

Unfortunately this approach produces much worse results on differing
inputs. P4Merge really regards the blank file as the base, and once you
have just a couple of differences between the two branches you end up
with one a massive full-file conflict. The 3-way diff is not readable,
and you have to invoke "difftool MERGE_HEAD HEAD" manually to get a
useful view.

The original approach appears to have invoked special 2-way merge
behaviour in P4Merge that occurs only if the base filename is "" or
equal to the left input.  You get a good visual comparison, and it does
not auto-resolve differences. (Normally if one branch matched the base,
it would autoresolve to the other branch).

But there appears to be no way of getting this 2-way behaviour and being
able to reliably save. Having base==left appears to be triggering other
assumptions. There are tricks the user can use to force the save icon
on, but it's not intuitive.

So we now follow a suggestion given in the original patch's discussion:
generate a virtual base, consisting of the lines common to the two
branches. This is the same as the technique used in resolve and octopus
merges, so we relocate that code to a shared function.

Note that if there are no differences at the same location, this
technique can lead to automatic resolution without conflict, combining
everything from the 2 files.  As with the other merges using this
technique, we assume the user will inspect the result before saving.

Junio C Hamano 393050c32b sh-setup: work around "unset IFS" bug in some shells
With an unset IFS, field splitting is supposed to act as if IFS is
set to the usual SP HT LF, but Marc Branchaud reports that the shell
on FreeBSD 7.2 gets this wrong.

It is easy to set it to the default value manually, and it is also
safer in case somebody tries to save the old value away and restore,
e.g.

	$oIFS=$IFS
	IFS=something
	...
	IFS=$oIFS

while forgetting that the original IFS might be unset (which can be
coded but would be more involved).

Jeff King ce80ca566a git-sh-setup: refactor ident-parsing functions
The only ident-parsing function we currently provide is
get_author_ident_from_commit. This is not very
flexible for two reasons:

  1. It takes a commit as an argument, and can't read from
     commit headers saved on disk.

  2. It will only parse authors, not committers.

This patch provides a more flexible interface which will
parse multiple idents from a commit provide on stdin. We can
easily use it as a building block for the current function
to retain compatibility.

Many scripted Porcelains rely on being able to split words at the
default $IFS characters, i.e. SP, HT and LF.  If the user exports a
non-default IFS to the environment, what they read from plumbing
commands such as ls-files that use HT to delimit fields may not be
split in the way we expect.

Protect outselves by resetting it, just like we do so against CDPATH
exported to the environment.

Junio C Hamano 2c733fb24c parse_date(): '@' prefix forces git-timestamp
The only place that the issue this series addresses was observed
where we read "cat-file commit" output and put it in GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
in order to replay a commit with an ancient timestamp.

With the previous patch alone, "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'"
can be misinterpreted to mean an ancient timestamp, not September in
year 2010.  Guard this codepath by requring an extra '@' in front of
the raw git timestamp on the parsing side. This of course needs to
be compensated by updating get_author_ident_from_commit and the code
for "git commit --amend" to prepend '@' to the string read from the
existing commit in the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE environment variable.
