On some systems, the function locale_charset() may not be exported from
libiconv but is available from libcharset, and we need -lcharset when

Introduce a make variable CHARSET_LIB that can be set to -lcharsetlib
on such systems. Also autodetect this in the configure script by first
looking for the symbol in libiconv, and then libcharset.

"git tag -n" did not check the type of the object it is reading the top n
lines from. At least, avoid showing the beginning of trees and blobs when
dealing with lightweight tags that point at them.
As the payload of a tag and a commit look similar in that they both start
with a header block, which is skipped for the purpose of "-n" output,
followed by human readable text, allow the message of commit objects to be
shown just like the contents of tag objects. This avoids regression for
people who have been using "tag -n" to show the log messages of commits
that are pointed at by lightweight tags.

Originally, "git add -N" was introduced to help users from forgetting to
add new files to the index before they ran "git commit -a". As an attempt
to help them further so that they do not forget to say "-a", "git commit"
to commit the index as-is was taught to error out, reminding the user that
they may have forgotten to add the final contents of the paths before
running the command.
This turned out to be a false "safety" that is useless. If the user made
changes to already tracked paths and paths added with "git add -N", and
then ran "git add" to register the final contents of the paths added with
"git add -N", "git commit" will happily create a commit out of the index,
without including the local changes made to the already tracked paths. It
was not a useful "safety" measure to prevent "forgetful" mistakes from
happening.
It turns out that this behaviour is not just a useless false "safety", but
actively hurts use cases of "git add -N" that were discovered later and
have become popular, namely, to tell Git to be aware of these paths added
by "git add -N", so that commands like "git status" and "git diff" would
include them in their output, even though the user is not interested in
including them in the next commit they are going to make.
Fix this ancient UI mistake, and instead make a commit from the index
ignoring the paths added by "git add -N" without adding real contents.

sanity from Jonathan Nieder and others on the Git mailing list.

When the HEAD of the submodule matches what is recorded in the index of
the superproject, and it has local changes or untracked files, the patch
offered by "git add -e" for editing shows a diff like this:
diff --git a/submodule b/submodule
<header>
-deadbeef...
+deadbeef...-dirty
Because applying such a patch has no effect to the index, this is a
useless noise. Generate the patch with IGNORE_DIRTY_SUBMODULES flag to
prevent such a change from getting reported.
This patch also loses the "-dirty" suffix from the output when the HEAD of
the submodule is different from what is in the index of the superproject.
As such dirtiness expressed by the suffix does not affect the result of
the patch application at all, there is no information lost if we remove
it. The user could still run "git status" before "git add -e" if s/he

When listing commands in zsh (git <TAB><TAB>), all of them will show up,
instead of only porcelain ones.
The root cause of this is because zsh versions from 4.3.0 to present
(4.3.15) do not correctly propagate the SH_WORD_SPLIT option into the
subshell in ${foo:=$(bar)} expressions. Because of this bug, the list of
all commands was treated as a single word in __git_list_porcelain_commands
and did not match any of the patterns that would usually cause plumbing to
be excluded.
With problematic versions of zsh, after running
emulate sh
fn () {
var='one two'
for v in $var; do echo $v; done
}
x=$(fn)
: ${y=$(fn)}
printing "$x" results in two lines as expected, but printing "$y" results
in a single line because $var is expanded as a single word when evaluating
fn to compute y.
So avoid the construct, and use an explicit 'test -n "$foo" || foo=$(bar)'
instead.

The callers of map_user() give email and name to it, and expect to get the
up-to-date email and/or name to be used in their output. The function
rewrites the given buffers in place. To optimize the majority of cases,
the function returns 0 when it did not do anything, and it returns 1 when
the caller should use the updated contents.
The 'email' input to the function is terminated by '>' or a NUL (whichever
comes first) for historical reasons, but when a rewrite happens, the value
is replaced with the mailbox inside the <> pair. However, it failed to
meet this expectation when it only rewrote the name part without rewriting
the email part, and the email in the input was terminated by '>'.
This causes an extra '>' to appear in the output of "blame -e", because the
caller does send in '>'-terminated email, and when the function returned 1
to tell it that rewriting happened, it appends '>' that is necessary when
the email part was rewritten.
The patch looks bigger than it actually is, because this change makes a
variable that points at the end of the email part in the input 'p' live
much longer than it used to, deserving a more descriptive name.

There was a number of problems I ran into when trying the
profile-directed optimizations added by Andi Kleen in git commit
7ddc2710b9. (This was using gcc 4.4 found on many enterprise
distros.)
1) The -fprofile-generate and -fprofile-use commands are incompatible
with ccache; the code ends up looking in the wrong place for the gcda
files based on the ccache object names.
2) If the makefile notices that CFLAGS are different, it will rebuild
all of the binaries. Hence the recipe originally specified by the
INSTALL file ("make profile-all" followed by "make install") doesn't
work. It will appear to work, but the binaries will end up getting
built with no optimization.
This patch fixes this by using an explicit set of options passed via
the PROFILE variable then using this to directly manipulate CFLAGS and
EXTLIBS.
The developer can run "make PROFILE=BUILD all ; sudo make
PROFILE=BUILD install" automatically run a two-pass build with the
test suite run in between as the sample workload for the purpose of
recording profiling information to do the profile-directed
optimization.
Alternatively, the profiling version of binaries can be built using:
make PROFILE=GEN PROFILE_DIR=/var/cache/profile all
make PROFILE=GEN install
and then after git has been used for a while, the optimized version of
the binary can be built as follows:
make PROFILE=USE PROFILE_DIR=/var/cache/profile all
make PROFILE=USE install

: now we are at a good point to switch working something else
$ git checkout master
: ah, let's write it down before we forget what we were doing
$ git branch --edit-description my-tpoic
The command does not notice that branch 'my-tpoic' does not exist. It is
not lost (it becomes description of an unborn my-tpoic branch), but is not
very useful. So detect such a case and error out to reduce the grief
factor from this common mistake.
This incidentally also errors out --edit-description when the HEAD points
at an unborn branch (immediately after "init", or "checkout --orphan"),
because at that point, you do not even have any commit that is part of
your history and there is no point in describing how this particular
branch is different from the branch it forked off of, which is the useful

Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge"
always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that
happens to be a descendant of your current commit.
Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to
make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be
possible to say:
$ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9
and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka
the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with:
fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.
because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by
fast forwarding.
We could teach users that now they have to do
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0
but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves.
When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag,
even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the
integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be
asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore,
this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted
to add.

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

The date-time parser parses out a human-readble datestring piece by
piece, so that it could even parse a string in a rather strange
notation like 'noon november 11, 2005', but restricts itself from
parsing strings in "<seconds since epoch> <timezone>" format only
for reasonably new timestamps (like 1974 or newer) with 10 or more
digits. This is to prevent a string like "20100917" from getting
interpreted as seconds since epoch (we want to treat it as September
17, 2010 instead) while doing so.
The same codepath is used to read back the timestamp that we have
already recorded in the headers of commit and tag objects; because
of this, such a commit with timestamp "0 +0000" cannot be rebased or
amended very easily.
Teach parse_date() codepath to special case a string of the form
"<digits> +<4-digits>" to work this issue around, but require that
there is no other cruft around the string when parsing a timestamp
of this format for safety.
Note that this has a slight backward incompatibility implications.
If somebody writes "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'" and wants it
to mean a timestamp in September 2010 in Japan, this change will
break such a use case.

Many of the scripts in the test suite write small helper
shell scripts to disk. It's best if these shell scripts
start with "#!$SHELL_PATH" rather than "#!/bin/sh", because
/bin/sh on some platforms is too buggy to be used.
However, it can be cumbersome to expand $SHELL_PATH, because
the usual recipe for writing a script is:
cat >foo.sh <<-\EOF
#!/bin/sh
echo my arguments are "$@"
EOF
To expand $SHELL_PATH, you have to either interpolate the
here-doc (which would require quoting "\$@"), or split the
creation into two commands (interpolating the $SHELL_PATH
line, but not the rest of the script). Let's provide a
helper function that makes that less syntactically painful.

The current askpass code simply dies if calling an askpass

print an error (if start_command fails, then it prints its
own error; if reading fails, we print an error; but if the

Let's be more kind to the user by printing an error message

Gitweb forgot to turn query parameters into UTF-8. This results in a bug
that one cannot search for a string with characters outside US-ASCII. For
example searching for "Michał Kiedrowicz" (containing letter 'ł' - LATIN
SMALL LETTER L WITH STROKE, with Unicode codepoint U+0142, represented
with 0xc5 0x82 bytes in UTF-8 and percent-encoded as %C5%82) result in the
following incorrect data in search field
MichaÅ\202 Kiedrowicz
This is caused by CGI by default treating '0xc5 0x82' bytes as two
characters in Perl legacy encoding latin-1 (iso-8859-1), because 's'
query parameter is not processed explicitly as UTF-8 encoded string.
The solution used here follows "Using Unicode in a Perl CGI script"
article on http://www.lemoda.net/cgi/perl-unicode/index.html:
use CGI;
use Encode 'decode_utf8;
my $value = params('input');
$value = decode_utf8($value);
Decoding UTF-8 is done when filling %input_params hash and $path_info
variable; the former requires to move from explicit $cgi->param(<label>)
to $input_params{<name>} in a few places, which is a good idea anyway.
Also add -override=>1 parameter to $cgi->textfield() invocation in search
form. Otherwise CGI would use values from query string if it is present,
filling value from $cgi->param... without decode_utf8(). As we are using
value of appropriate parameter anyway, -override=>1 doesn't change the
situation but makes gitweb fill search field correctly.
We could simply use the '-utf8' pragma (via "use CGI '-utf8';") to solve
this, but according to CGI.pm documentation, it may cause problems with
POST requests containing binary files, and it requires CGI 3.31 (I think),
released with perl v5.8.9.

When you specify a local repository on the command line of
clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive,
or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of
lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for
.git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos.
For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For
everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases,
there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't
handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the
same by both methods.
This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible
lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are:
1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred
a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the
bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over
"foo.git". With this patch, we do so.
2. We would select directories that existed but didn't
actually look like git repositories. With this patch,
we make sure a selected directory looks like a git
repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it
will help anybody who is negatively affected by change
(1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its
separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding
"foo.git" when they reference "foo").
3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for
"foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even
for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did
not; with this patch, they now behave the same.
In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare
repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we
continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the
"inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the
combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with
existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying
on it.

The low-level grep_source code will automatically load the
userdiff driver to see whether a file is binary. However,
when we are threaded, it will load the drivers in a
non-deterministic order, handling each one as its assigned
thread happens to be scheduled.
Meanwhile, the attribute lookup code (which underlies the
userdiff driver lookup) is optimized to handle paths in
sequential order (because they tend to share the same
gitattributes files). Multi-threading the lookups destroys
the locality and makes this optimization less effective.
We can fix this by pre-loading the userdiff driver in the
main thread, before we hand off the file to a worker thread.
My best-of-five for "git grep foo" on the linux-2.6
repository went from:
real 0m0.391s
user 0m1.708s
sys 0m0.584s
to:
real 0m0.360s
user 0m1.576s
sys 0m0.572s
Not a huge speedup, but it's quite easy to do. The only
trick is that we shouldn't perform this optimization if "-a"
was used, in which case we won't bother checking whether
the files are binary at all.

Usually we load each file to grep into memory, check whether
it's binary, and then either grep it (the default) or not
(if "-I" was given).
In the "-I" case, we can skip loading the file entirely if
it is marked as binary via gitattributes. On my giant
3-gigabyte media repository, doing "git grep -I foo" went
from:
real 0m0.712s
user 0m0.044s
sys 0m4.780s
to:
real 0m0.026s
user 0m0.016s
sys 0m0.020s
Obviously this is an extreme example. The repo is almost
entirely binary files, and you can see that we spent all of
our time asking the kernel to read() the data. However, with
a cold disk cache, even avoiding a few binary files can have

There is currently no way for users to tell git-grep that a
particular path is or is not a binary file; instead, grep
always relies on its auto-detection (or the user specifying
"-a" to treat all binary-looking files like text).
This patch teaches git-grep to use the same attribute lookup
that is used by git-diff. We could add a new "grep" flag,
but that is unnecessarily complex and unlikely to be useful.
Despite the name, the "-diff" attribute (or "diff=foo" and
the associated diff.foo.binary config option) are really
about describing the contents of the path. It's simply
historical that diff was the only thing that cared about
these attributes in the past.
And if this simple approach turns out to be insufficient, we
still have a backwards-compatible path forward: we can add a
separate "grep" attribute, and fall back to respecting
"diff" if it is unset.

Right now, grep only uses the userdiff_driver for one thing:
looking up funcname patterns for "-p" and "-W". As new uses
for userdiff drivers are added to the grep code, we want to
minimize attribute lookups, which can be expensive.
It might seem at first that this would also optimize multiple
lookups when the funcname pattern for a file is needed
multiple times. However, the compiled funcname pattern is
already cached in struct grep_opt's "priv" member, so
multiple lookups are already suppressed.
