config: add include directive
It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).
This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:
[include]
path = /path/to/file
This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).
The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.
Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:
1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.
2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
reasons:
a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
config-like files.
b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
care about just what's in that file, not a general
lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
all". If that is not the case, the caller can
always specify "--includes".
3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
modified), and not expand them. So "git config
--unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
.git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

config: eliminate config_exclusive_filename
This is a magic global variable that was intended as an
override to the usual git-config lookup process. Once upon a
time, you could specify GIT_CONFIG to any git program, and
it would look only at that file. This turned out to be
confusing and cause a lot of bugs for little gain. As a
result,
dc87183 (Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not
other programs, 2008-06-30) took this away for all callers
except git-config.
Since git-config no longer uses it either, the variable can
just go away. As the diff shows, nobody was setting to
anything except NULL, so we can just replace any sites where
it was read with NULL.

config: stop using config_exclusive_filename
The git-config command sometimes operates on the default set
of config files (either reading from all, or writing to repo
config), and sometimes operates on a specific file. In the
latter case, we set the magic global config_exclusive_filename,
and the code in config.c does the right thing.
Instead, let's have git-config use the "advanced" variants
of config.c's functions which let it specify an individual
filename (or NULL for the default). This makes the code a
lot more obvious, and fixes two small bugs:
1. A relative path specified by GIT_CONFIG=foo will look
in the wrong directory if we have to chdir as part of
repository setup. We already handle this properly for
"git config -f foo", but the GIT_CONFIG lookup used
config_exclusive_filename directly. By dropping to a
single magic variable, the GIT_CONFIG case now just
works.
2. Calling "git config -f foo --edit" would not respect
core.editor. This is because just before editing, we
called git_config, which would respect the
config_exclusive_filename setting, even though this
particular git_config call was not about looking in the
user's specified file, but rather about loading actual
git config, just as any other git program would.

config: provide a version of git_config with more options
Callers may want to provide a specific version of a file in which to look
for config. Right now this can be done by setting the magic global
config_exclusive_filename variable. By providing a version of git_config
that takes a filename, we can take a step towards making this magic global
go away.
Furthermore, by providing a more "advanced" interface, we now have a a
natural place to add new options for callers like git-config, which care
about tweaking the specifics of config lookup, without disturbing the
large number of "simple" users (i.e., every other part of git).
The astute reader of this patch may notice that the logic for handling
config_exclusive_filename was taken out of git_config_early, but added
into git_config. This means that git_config_early will no longer respect
config_exclusive_filename. That's OK, because the only other caller of
git_config_early is check_repository_format_gently, but the only function
which sets config_exclusive_filename is cmd_config, which does not call
check_repository_format_gently (and if it did, it would have been a bug,
anyway, as we would be checking the repository format in the wrong file).

git-completion: workaround zsh COMPREPLY bug
zsh adds a backslash (foo\ ) for each item in the COMPREPLY array if IFS
doesn't contain spaces. This issue has been reported[1], but there is no
solution yet.
This wasn't a problem due to another bug[2], which was fixed in zsh
version 4.3.12. After this change, 'git checkout ma<tab>' would resolve
to 'git checkout master\ '.
Aditionally, the introduction of __gitcomp_nl in commit
a31e626
(completion: optimize refs completion) in git also made the problem
apparent, as Matthieu Moy reported.
The simplest and most generic solution is to hide all the changes we do
to IFS, so that "foo \nbar " is recognized by zsh as "foo bar". This
works on versions of git before and after the introduction of
__gitcomp_nl (
a31e626), and versions of zsh before and after 4.3.12.
Once zsh is fixed, we should conditionally disable this workaround to
have the same benefits as bash users.

credential-cache: ignore "connection refused" errors
The credential-cache helper will try to connect to its
daemon over a unix socket. Originally, a failure to do so
was silently ignored, and we would either give up (if
performing a "get" or "erase" operation), or spawn a new
daemon (for a "store" operation).
But since
8ec6c8d, we try to report more errors. We detect a
missing daemon by checking for ENOENT on our connection
attempt. If the daemon is missing, we continue as before
(giving up or spawning a new daemon). For any other error,
we die and report the problem.
However, checking for ENOENT is not sufficient for a missing
daemon. We might also get ECONNREFUSED if a dead daemon
process left a stale socket. This generally shouldn't
happen, as the daemon cleans up after itself, but the daemon
may not always be given a chance to do so (e.g., power loss,
"kill -9").
The resulting state is annoying not just because the helper
outputs an extra useless message, but because it actually
blocks the helper from spawning a new daemon to replace the
stale socket.
Fix it by checking for ECONNREFUSED.

thin-pack: try harder to use preferred base objects as base
When creating a pack using objects that reside in existing packs, we try
to avoid recomputing futile delta between an object (trg) and a candidate
for its base object (src) if they are stored in the same packfile, and trg
is not recorded as a delta already. This heuristics makes sense because it
is likely that we tried to express trg as a delta based on src but it did
not produce a good delta when we created the existing pack.
As the pack heuristics prefer producing delta to remove data, and Linus's
law dictates that the size of a file grows over time, we tend to record
the newest version of the file as inflated, and older ones as delta
against it.
When creating a thin-pack to transfer recent history, it is likely that we
will try to send an object that is recorded in full, as it is newer. But
the heuristics to avoid recomputing futile delta effectively forbids us
from attempting to express such an object as a delta based on another
object. Sending an object in full is often more expensive than sending a
suboptimal delta based on other objects, and it is even more so if we
could use an object we know the receiving end already has (i.e. preferred
base object) as the delta base.
Tweak the recomputation avoidance logic, so that we do not punt on
computing delta against a preferred base object.
The effect of this change can be seen on two simulated upload-pack
workloads. The first is based on 44 reflog entries from my git.git
origin/master reflog, and represents the packs that kernel.org sent me git
updates for the past month or two. The second workload represents much
larger fetches, going from git's v1.0.0 tag to v1.1.0, then v1.1.0 to
v1.2.0, and so on.
The table below shows the average generated pack size and the average CPU
time consumed for each dataset, both before and after the patch:
dataset
| reflog | tags
---------------------------------
before | 53358 |
2750977
size after | 32398 |

change | -39% | -3%
---------------------------------

CPU after | 0.18 | 1.15

This patch makes a much bigger difference for packs with a shorter slice
of history (since its effect is seen at the boundaries of the pack) though
it has some benefit even for larger packs.

the '\' line flushed the buffers, and the - and + lines were never
matched with each other.
A proper fix would defer such markers until the end of the hunk.
However, word-diff is inherently whitespace-ignoring, so as a cheap
fix simply ignore the marker (and hide it from the output).
We use a prefix match for '\ ' to parallel the logic in
apply.c:parse_fragment(). We currently do not localize this string
(just accept other variants of it in git-apply), but this should be
future-proof.

(which were left from a previous lookup and may or may not

afterwards will segfault if we did actually reach the top of
the stack.
Fortunately, this is not an actual bug, since we will never

attr: don't confuse prefixes with leading directories
When we prepare the attribute stack for a lookup on a path,
we start with the cached stack from the previous lookup
(because it is common to do several lookups in the same
directory hierarchy). So the first thing we must do in
preparing the stack is to pop any entries that point to
directories we are no longer interested in.
For example, if our stack contains gitattributes for:
foo/bar/baz
foo/bar
foo
but we want to do a lookup in "foo/bar/bleep", then we want
to pop the top element, but retain the others.
To do this we walk down the stack from the top, popping
elements that do not match our lookup directory. However,
the test do this simply checked strncmp, meaning we would
mistake "foo/bar/baz" as a leading directory of
"foo/bar/baz_plus". We must also check that the character
after our match is '/', meaning we matched the whole path
component.
There are two special cases to consider:
1. The top of our attr stack has the empty path. So we
must not check for '/', but rather special-case the
empty path, which always matches.
2. Typically when matching paths in this way, you would
also need to check for a full string match (i.e., the
character after is '\0'). We don't need to do so in
this case, though, because our path string is actually
just the directory component of the path to a file
(i.e., we know that it terminates with "/", because the
filename comes after that).

unix-socket: handle long socket pathnames
On many systems, the sockaddr_un.sun_path field is quite
small. Even on Linux, it is only 108 characters. A user of
the credential-cache daemon can easily surpass this,
especially if their home directory is in a deep directory
tree (since the default location expands ~/.git-credentials).
We can hack around this in the unix-socket.[ch] code by
doing a chdir() to the enclosing directory, feeding the
relative basename to the socket functions, and then
restoring the working directory.
This introduces several new possible error cases for
creating a socket, including an irrecoverable one in the
case that we can't restore the working directory. In the
case of the credential-cache code, we could perhaps get away
with simply chdir()-ing to the socket directory and never
coming back. However, I'd rather do it at the lower level
for a few reasons:
1. It keeps the hackery behind an opaque interface instead
of polluting the main program logic.
2. A hack in credential-cache won't help any unix-socket
users who come along later.
3. The chdir trickery isn't that likely to fail (basically
it's only a problem if your cwd is missing or goes away
while you're running). And because we only enable the
hack when we get a too-long name, it can only fail in
cases that would have failed under the previous code
anyway.
