Eric Sunshine 80cde95eec merge(s): apply consistent punctuation to "up to date" messages
Although the various "Already up to date" messages resulting from merge
attempts share identical phrasing, they use a mix of punctuation ranging
from "." to "!" and even "Yeeah!", which leads to extra work for
translators. Ease the job of translators by settling upon "." as
punctuation for all such messages.

While at it, take advantage of printf_ln() to further ease the
translation task so translators need not worry about line termination,
and fix a case of missing line termination in the (unused)
merge_ort_nonrecursive() function.

In 56c6910028 (fsmonitor: change last update timestamp on the

Johannes Schindelin 3dfd30598b fsmonitor: fix memory corruption in some corner cases
In 56c6910028 (fsmonitor: change last update timestamp on the
index_state to opaque token, 2020-01-07), we forgot to adjust the part
of `unpack_trees()` that copies the FSMonitor "last-update" information
that we copy from the source index to the result index since 679f2f9fdd
(unpack-trees: skip stat on fsmonitor-valid files, 2019-11-20).

Since the "last-update" information is no longer a 64-bit number, but a
free-form string that has been allocated, we need to duplicate it rather
than just copying it.

This is important because there _are_ cases when `unpack_trees()` will
perform a oneway merge that implicitly calls `refresh_fsmonitor()`
(which will allocate that "last-update" token). This happens _after_
that token was copied into the result index. However, we _then_ call
`check_updates()` on that index, which will _also_ call
`refresh_fsmonitor()`, accessing the "last-update" string, which by now
would be released already.

In the instance that lead to this patch, this caused a segmentation
fault during a lengthy, complicated rebase involving the todo command
`reset` that (crucially) had to updated many files. Unfortunately, it
seems very hard to trigger that crash, therefore this patch is not
accompanied by a regression test.

Jeff King 7730f85594 bisect: peel annotated tags to commits
This patch fixes a bug where git-bisect doesn't handle receiving
annotated tags as "git bisect good <tag>", etc. It's a regression in
27257bc466 (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_state` & `bisect_head`
shell functions in C, 2020-10-15).

The original shell code called:

  sha=$(git rev-parse --verify "$rev^{commit}") ||
          die "$(eval_gettext "Bad rev input: \$rev")"

which will peel the input to a commit (or complain if that's not
possible). But the C code just calls get_oid(), which will yield the oid
of the tag.

The fix is to peel to a commit. The error message here is a little
non-idiomatic for Git (since it starts with a capital). I've mostly left
it, as it matches the other converted messages (like the "Bad rev input"
we print when get_oid() fails), though I did add an indication that it
was the peeling that was the problem. It might be worth taking a pass
through this converted code to modernize some of the error messages.

Note also that the test does a bare "grep" (not i18ngrep) on the
expected "X is the first bad commit" output message. This matches the
rest of the test script.

Jonathan Tan 5f70859c15 t5606: run clone branch name test with protocol v2
4f37d45706 ("clone: respect remote unborn HEAD", 2021-02-05) introduces
a new feature (if the remote has an unborn HEAD, e.g. when the remote
repository is empty, use it as the name of the branch) that only works
in protocol v2, but did not ensure that one of its tests always uses
protocol v2, and thus that test would fail if
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0 (or 1) is used. Therefore, add "-c
protocol.version=2" to the appropriate test.

(The rest of the tests from that commit have "-c protocol.version=2"
already added.)

René Scharfe 116affac3f mem-pool: drop trailing semicolon from macro definition
Allow BLOCK_GROWTH_SIZE to be used like an integer literal by removing
the trailing semicolon from its definition.  Also wrap the expression in
parentheses, to allow it to be used with operators without leading to
unexpected results.  It doesn't matter for the current use site, but
make it follow standard macro rules anyway to avoid future surprises.

René Scharfe 3d8cbbf2c3 block-sha1: drop trailing semicolon from macro definition
23119ffb4e (block-sha1: put expanded macro parameters in parentheses,
2012-07-22) added a trailing semicolon to the definition of SHA_MIX
without explanation.  It doesn't matter with the current code, but make
sure to avoid potential surprises by removing it again.

This allows the macro to be used almost like a function: Users can
combine it with operators of their choice, but still must not pass an
expression with side-effects as a parameter, as it would be evaluated
multiple times.

Andrzej Hunt 097ea2c848 fsmonitor: avoid global-buffer-overflow READ when checking trivial response
query_result can be be an empty strbuf (STRBUF_INIT) - in that case
trying to read 3 bytes triggers a buffer overflow read (as
query_result.buf = '\0').

Therefore we need to check query_result's length before trying to read 3
bytes.

This overflow was introduced in:
  940b94f35c (fsmonitor: log invocation of FSMonitor hook to trace2, 2021-02-03)
It was found when running the test-suite against ASAN, and can be most
easily reproduced with the following command:

make GIT_TEST_OPTS="-v" DEFAULT_TEST_TARGET="t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh" \
SANITIZE=address DEVELOPER=1 test

René Scharfe ca56dadb4b use CALLOC_ARRAY
Add and apply a semantic patch for converting code that open-codes
CALLOC_ARRAY to use it instead.  It shortens the code and infers the
element size automatically.

Make CALLOC_ARRAY usable like a function by requiring callers to supply
the trailing semicolon, which all of the current ones already do.  With
the extra semicolon e.g. the following code wouldn't compile because it
disconnects the "else" from the "if":

	if (condition)
		CALLOC_ARRAY(ptr, n);
	else
		whatever();

Jonathan Nieder 53204061ac doc: describe mergetool configuration in git-mergetool(1)
In particular, this describes mergetool.hideResolved, which can help
users discover this setting (either because it may be useful to them
or in order to understand mergetool's behavior if they have forgotten
setting it in the past).

Tested by running

	make -C Documentation git-mergetool.1
	man Documentation/git-mergetool.1

and reading through the page.

Jonathan Nieder b2a51c1b03 mergetool: do not enable hideResolved by default
When 98ea309b3f (mergetool: add hideResolved configuration,
2021-02-09) introduced the mergetool.hideResolved setting to reduce
the clutter in viewing non-conflicted sections of files in a
mergetool, it enabled it by default, explaining:

    No adverse effects were noted in a small survey of popular mergetools[1]
    so this behavior defaults to `true`.

In practice, alas, adverse effects do appear.  A few issues:

1. No indication is shown in the UI that the base, local, and remote
   versions shown have been modified by additional resolution.  This
   is inherent in the design: the idea of mergetool.hideResolved is to
   convince a mergetool that expects pristine local, base, and remote
   files to show partially resolved verisons of those files instead;
   there is no additional source of information accessible to the
   mergetool to see where the resolution has happened.

   (By contrast, a mergetool generating the partial resolution from
   conflict markers for itself would be able to hilight the resolved
   sections with a different color.)

   A user accustomed to seeing the files without partial resolution
   gets no indication that this behavior has changed when they upgrade
   Git.

2. If the computed merge did not line up the files correctly (for
   example due to repeated sections in the file), the partially
   resolved files can be misleading and do not have enough information
   to reconstruct what happened and compute the correct merge result.

3. Resolving a conflict can involve information beyond the textual
   conflict.  For example, if the local and remote versions added
   overlapping functionality in different ways, seeing the full
   unresolved versions of each alongside the base gives information
   about each side's intent that makes it possible to come up with a
   resolution that combines those two intents.  By contrast, when
   starting with partially resolved versions of those files, one can
   produce a subtly wrong resolution that includes redundant extra
   code added by one side that is not needed in the approach taken
   on the other.

All that said, a user wanting to focus on textual conflicts with
reduced clutter can still benefit from mergetool.hideResolved=true as
a way to deemphasize sections of the code that resolve cleanly without
requiring any changes to the invoked mergetool.  The caveats described
above are reduced when the user has explicitly turned this on, because
then the user is aware of them.

Flip the default to 'false'.

Andrzej Hunt 68b5c3aa48 Makefile: update 'make fuzz-all' docs to reflect modern clang
Clang no longer produces a libFuzzer.a. Instead, you can include
libFuzzer by using -fsanitize=fuzzer. Therefore we should use that in
the example command for building fuzzers.

We also add -fsanitize=fuzzer-no-link to the CFLAGS to ensure that all
the required instrumentation is added when compiling git [1], and remove
 -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc-guard as it is deprecated.

I happen to have tested with LLVM 11 - however -fsanitize=fuzzer appears
to work in a wide range of reasonably modern clangs.

(On my system: what used to be libFuzzer.a now lives under the following
 path, which is tricky albeit not impossible for a novice such as myself
 to find:
/usr/lib64/clang/11.0.0/lib/linux/libclang_rt.fuzzer-x86_64.a )

René Scharfe 241b5d3ebe fix xcalloc() argument order
Pass the number of elements first and ther size second, as expected
by xcalloc().  Provide a semantic patch, which was actually used to
generate the rest of this patch.

The semantic patch would generate flip-flop diffs if both arguments
are sizeofs.  We don't have such a case, and it's hard to imagine
the usefulness of such an allocation.  If it ever occurs then we
could deal with it by duplicating the rule in the semantic patch to
make it cancel itself out, or we could change the code to use
CALLOC_ARRAY.
