4c3b57b98b teach dry-run convert_to_git not to require a src buffer
When we call convert_to_git in dry-run mode, it may still
want to look at the source buffer, because some CRLF
conversion modes depend on analyzing the source to determine
whether it is in fact convertible CRLF text.

However, the main motivation for convert_to_git's dry-run
mode is that we would decide which method to use to acquire
the blob's data (streaming versus in-core). Requiring this
source analysis creates a chicken-and-egg problem. We are
better off simply guessing that anything we can't analyze
will end up needing conversion.

This patch lets a caller specify a NULL src buffer when
using dry-run mode (and only dry-run mode). A non-zero
return value goes from "we would convert" to "we might
convert"; a zero return value remains "we would definitely
not convert".

92ac3197e4 teach convert_to_git a "dry run" mode
Some callers may want to know whether convert_to_git will
actually do anything before performing the conversion
itself (e.g., to decide whether to stream or handle blobs
in-core). This patch lets callers specify the dry run mode
by passing a NULL destination buffer. The return value,
instead of indicating whether conversion happened, will
indicate whether conversion would occur.

For readability, we also include a wrapper function which
makes it more obvious we are not actually performing the
conversion.

6424c2ad12 Ignore SIGPIPE when running a filter driver
If a filter is not defined or if it fails, git should behave as if the
filter is a no-op passthru.

However, if the filter exits before reading all the content, depending on
the timing, git could be killed with SIGPIPE when it tries to write to the
pipe connected to the filter.

Ignore SIGPIPE while processing the filter to give us a chance to check
the return value from a failed write, in order to detect and act on this
mode of failure in a more controlled way.

36daaaca00 Add a setting to require a filter to be successful
By default, a missing filter driver or a failure from the filter driver is
not an error, but merely makes the filter operation a no-op pass through.
This is useful to massage the content into a shape that is more convenient
for the platform, filesystem, and the user to use, and the content filter
mechanism is not used to turn something unusable into usable.

However, we could also use of the content filtering mechanism and store
the content that cannot be directly used in the repository (e.g. a UUID
that refers to the true content stored outside git, or an encrypted
content) and turn it into a usable form upon checkout (e.g. download the
external content, or decrypt the encrypted content).  For such a use case,
the content cannot be used when filter driver fails, and we need a way to
tell Git to abort the whole operation for such a failing or missing filter
driver.

Add a new "filter.<driver>.required" configuration variable to mark the
second use case.  When it is set, git will abort the operation when the
filter driver does not exist or exits with a non-zero status code.

8496f56873 lf_to_crlf_filter(): resurrect CRLF->CRLF hack
The non-streaming version of the filter counts CRLF and LF in the whole
buffer, and returns without doing anything when they match (i.e. what is
recorded in the object store already uses CRLF). This was done to help
people who added files from the DOS world before realizing they want to go
cross platform and adding .gitattributes to tell Git that they only want
CRLF in their working tree.

The streaming version of the filter does not want to read the whole thing
before starting to work, as that defeats the whole point of streaming. So
we instead check what byte follows CR whenever we see one, and add CR
before LF only when the LF does not immediately follow CR already to keep
CRLF as is.

There may not be enough space to store CRLF in the output. If we don't
fill the buffer, then the filter will keep getting called with the same
short buffer and will loop forever.

Instead, always store the CR and record whether there's a missing LF
if so we store it in the output buffer the next time the function gets

b6691092d7 Add streaming filter API
This introduces an API to plug custom filters to an input stream.

The caller gets get_stream_filter("path") to obtain an appropriate
filter for the path, and then uses it when opening an input stream
via open_istream().  After that, the caller can read from the stream
with read_istream(), and close it with close_istream(), just like an
unfiltered stream.

This only adds a "null" filter that is a pass-thru filter, but later
changes can add LF-to-CRLF and other filters, and the callers of the
streaming API do not have to change.

dd8e912190 streaming_write_entry(): use streaming API in write_entry()
When the output to a path does not have to be converted, we can read from
the object database from the streaming API and write to the file in the
working tree, without having to hold everything in the memory.

The ident, auto- and safe- crlf conversions inherently require you to read
the whole thing before deciding what to do, so while it is technically
possible to support them by using a buffer of an unbound size or rewinding
and reading the stream twice, it is less practical than the traditional
"read the whole thing in core and convert" approach.

Adding streaming filters for the other conversions on top of this should
be doable by tweaking the can_bypass_conversion() function (it should be
renamed to can_filter_stream() when it happens). Then the streaming API
can be extended to wrap the git_istream streaming_write_entry() opens on
the underlying object in another git_istream that reads from it, filters
what is read, and let the streaming_write_entry() read the filtered
result. But that is outside the scope of this series.

3bfba20dae convert: make it harder to screw up adding a conversion attribute
The current internal API requires the callers of setup_convert_check() to
supply the git_attr_check structures (hence they need to know how many to
allocate), but they grab the same set of attributes for given path.

Define a new convert_attrs() API that fills a higher level information that
the callers (convert_to_git and convert_to_working_tree) really want, and
move the common code to interact with the attributes system to it.

c61dcff9d6 convert: give saner names to crlf/eol variables, types and functions
Back when the conversion was only about the end-of-line convention, it
might have made sense to call what we do upon seeing CR/LF simply an
"action", but these days the conversion routines do a lot more than just
tweaking the line ending.  Raname "action" to "crlf_action".

The function that decides what end of line conversion to use on the output
codepath was called "determine_output_conversion", as if there is no other
kind of output conversion.  Rename it to "output_eol"; it is a function
that returns what EOL convention is to be used.

A function that decides what "crlf_action" needs to be used on the input
codepath, given what conversion attribute is set to the path and global
end-of-line convention, was called "determine_action".  Rename it to
"input_crlf_action".

ec70f52f6f convert: rename the "eol" global variable to "core_eol"
Yes, it is clear that "eol" wants to mean some sort of end-of-line thing,
but as the name of a global variable, it is way too short to describe what
kind of end-of-line thing it wants to represent. Besides, there are many

at the end of the current line they are processing.

This global variable holds what we read from core.eol configuration
variable. Name it as such.

f217f0e86d Avoid conflicts when merging branches with mixed normalization
Currently, merging across changes in line ending normalization is
painful since files containing CRLF will conflict with normalized files,
even if the only difference between the two versions is the line
endings.  Additionally, any "real" merge conflicts that exist are
obscured because every line in the file has a conflict.

Assume you start out with a repo that has a lot of text files with CRLF
checked in (A):

      o---C
     /     \
    A---B---D

B: Add "* text=auto" to .gitattributes and normalize all files to
   LF-only

C: Modify some of the text files

D: Try to merge C

You will get a ridiculous number of LF/CRLF conflicts when trying to
merge C into D, since the repository contents for C are "wrong" wrt the
new .gitattributes file.

Fix ll-merge so that the "base", "theirs" and "ours" stages are passed
through convert_to_worktree() and convert_to_git() before a three-way
merge.  This ensures that all three stages are normalized in the same
way, removing from consideration differences that are only due to
normalization.

This feature is optional for now since it changes a low-level mechanism
and is not necessary for the majority of users.  The "merge.renormalize"
config variable enables it.

Add a new attribute "eol" with possible values "crlf" and "lf".  When

LF line endings in the working directory, respectively.

The line ending style to be used for normalized text files in the
working directory is set using "core.autocrlf".  When it is set to
"true", CRLFs are used in the working directory; when set to "input" or
"false", LFs are used.

c4805393d7 autocrlf: Make it work also for un-normalized repositories
Previously, autocrlf would only work well for normalized
repositories. Any text files that contained CRLF in the repository
would cause problems, and would be modified when handled with
core.autocrlf set.

Change autocrlf to not do any conversions to files that in the
repository already contain a CR. git with autocrlf set will never
create such a file, or change a LF only file to contain CRs, so the
(new) assumption is that if a file contains a CR, it is intentional,
and autocrlf should not change that.

The following sequence should now always be a NOP even with autocrlf
set (assuming a clean working directory):

git checkout <something>
touch *
git add -A .    (will add nothing)
git commit      (nothing to commit)

Previously this would break for any text file containing a CR.

Some of you may have been folowing Eyvind's excellent thread about
trying to make end-of-line translation in git a bit smoother.

I decided to attack the problem from a different angle: Is it possible
to make autocrlf behave non-destructively for all the previous problem cases?

Stealing the problem from Eyvind's initial mail (paraphrased and
summarized a bit):

1. Setting autocrlf globally is a pain since autocrlf does not work well
   with CRLF in the repo
2. Setting it in individual repos is hard since you do it "too late"
   (the clone will get it wrong)
3. If someone checks in a file with CRLF later, you get into problems again
4. If a repository once has contained CRLF, you can't tell autocrlf
   at which commit everything is sane again
5. autocrlf does needless work if you know that all your users want
   the same EOL style.

I belive that this patch makes autocrlf a safe (and good) default
setting for Windows, and this solves problems 1-4 (it solves 2 by being
set by default, which is early enough for clone).

I implemented it by looking for CR charactes in the index, and
aborting any conversion attempt if this is found.

a9f3049f6c convert: Safer handling of $Id$ contraction.
The code to contract $Id:xxxxx$ strings could eat an arbitrary amount
of source text if the terminating $ was lost. It now refuses to
contract $Id:xxxxx$ strings spanning multiple lines.

ae6a5609c0 run-command: support custom fd-set in async
This patch adds the possibility to supply a set of non-0 file
descriptors for async process communication instead of the
default-created pipe.

Additionally, we now support bi-directional communiction with the
async procedure, by giving the async function both read and write
file descriptors.

To retain compatiblity and similar "API feel" with start_command,
we require start_async callers to set .out = -1 to get a readable
file descriptor.  If either of .in or .out is 0, we supply no file
descriptor to the async process.

[sp: Note: Erik started this patch, and a huge bulk of it is
     his work.  All bugs were introduced later by Shawn.]

7fb0eaa289 git_attr(): fix function signature
The function took (name, namelen) as its arguments, but all the public
callers wanted to pass a full string.

Demote the counted-string interface to an internal API status, and allow
public callers to just pass the string to the function.

5709e0363a run_command: return exit code as positive value
As a general guideline, functions in git's code return zero to indicate
success and negative values to indicate failure. The run_command family of
functions followed this guideline. But there are actually two different
kinds of failure:

- failures of system calls;

- non-zero exit code of the program that was run.

Usually, a non-zero exit code of the program is a failure and means a
failure to the caller. Except that sometimes it does not. For example, the
exit code of merge programs (e.g. external merge drivers) conveys
information about how the merge failed, and not all exit calls are
actually failures.

Furthermore, the return value of run_command is sometimes used as exit
code by the caller.

This change arranges that the exit code of the program is returned as a
positive value, which can now be regarded as the "result" of the function.
System call failures continue to be reported as negative values.

f285a2d7ed Replace calls to strbuf_init(&foo, 0) with STRBUF_INIT initializer
Many call sites use strbuf_init(&foo, 0) to initialize local
strbuf variable "foo" which has not been accessed since its
declaration. These can be replaced with a static initialization
using the STRBUF_INIT macro which is just as readable, saves a
function call, and takes up fewer lines.
