Change "fetch" to treat "+" in refspecs (aka --force) to mean we should clobber a local tag of the same name. This changes the long-standing behavior of "fetch" added in 853a369 ("[PATCH] Multi-head fetch.", 2005-08-20), before this change all tag fetches effectively had --force enabled. The original rationale in that change was: > Tags need not be pointing at commits so there is no way to > guarantee "fast-forward" anyway. That comment and the rest of the history of "fetch" shows that the "+" (--force) part of refpecs was only conceived for branch updates, while tags have accepted any changes from upstream unconditionally and clobbered the local tag object. Changing this behavior has been discussed as early as 2011[1]. I the current behavior doesn't make sense, it easily results in local tags accidentally being clobbered. Ideally we'd namespace our tags per-remote, but as with my 97716d2 ("fetch: add a --prune-tags option and fetch.pruneTags config", 2018-02-09) it's easier to work around the current implementation than to fix the root cause, so this implements suggestion #1 from [1], "fetch" now only clobbers the tag if either "+" is provided as part of the refspec, or if "--force" is provided on the command-line. This also makes it nicely symmetrical with how "tag" itself works. We'll now refuse to clobber any existing tags unless "--force" is supplied, whether that clobbering would happen by clobbering a local tag with "tag", or by fetching it from the remote with "fetch". It's still not at all nicely symmetrical with how "git push" works, as discussed in the updated pull-fetch-param.txt documentation, but this change brings them more into line with one another. I don't think there's any reason "fetch" couldn't fully converge with the behavior used by "push", but that's a topic for another change. One of the tests added in 31b808a ("clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch", 2012-09-20) is being changed to use --force where a clone would clobber a tag. This changes nothing about the existing behavior of the test. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/20111123221658.GA22313@sigill.intra.peff.net/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

When "git rebase -i" is told to squash two or more commits into one, it labeled the log message for each commit with its number. It correctly called the first one "1st commit", but the next one was "commit #1", which was off-by-one. This has been corrected. * pw/rebase-i-squash-number-fix: rebase -i: fix numbering in squash message

The verbose output of the test 'reword without issues functions as intended' in 't3423-rebase-reword.sh', added in a9279c6 (sequencer: do not squash 'reword' commits when we hit conflicts, 2018-06-19), contains the following error output: sed: -e expression #1, char 2: extra characters after command This error comes from within the 'fake-editor.sh' script created by 'lib-rebase.sh's set_fake_editor() function, and the root cause is the FAKE_LINES="pick 1 reword 2" variable in the test in question, in particular the "pick" word. 'fake-editor.sh' assumes 'pick' to be the default rebase command and doesn't support an explicit 'pick' command in FAKE_LINES. As a result, 'pick' will be used instead of a line number when assembling the following 'sed' script: sed -n picks/^pick/pick/p which triggers the aforementioned error. Luckily, this didn't affect the test's correctness: the erroring 'sed' command doesn't write anything to the todo script, and processing the rest of FAKE_LINES generates the desired todo script, as if that 'pick' command were not there at all. The minimal fix would be to remove the 'pick' word from FAKE_LINES, but that would leave us susceptible to similar issues in the future. Instead, teach the fake-editor script to recognize an explicit 'pick' command, which is still a fairly trivial change. In the future we might want to consider reinforcing this fake editor script with an &&-chain and stricter parsing of the FAKE_LINES variable (e.g. to error out when encountering unknown rebase commands or commands and line numbers in the wrong order).

Changing this behavior has been discussed as early as 2011[1]. The current behavior doesn't make sense to me, it easily results in local tags accidentally being clobbered. We could namespace our tags per-remote and not locally populate refs/tags/*, but as with my 97716d2 ("fetch: add a --prune-tags option and fetch.pruneTags config", 2018-02-09) it's easier to work around the current implementation than to fix the root cause. So this change implements suggestion #1 from Jeff's 2011 E-Mail[1], "fetch" now only clobbers the tag if either "+" is provided as part of the refspec, or if "--force" is provided on the command-line. This also makes it nicely symmetrical with how "tag" itself works when creating tags. I.e. we refuse to clobber any existing tags unless "--force" is supplied. Now we can refuse all such clobbering, whether it would happen by clobbering a local tag with "tag", or by fetching it from the remote with "fetch". Ref updates outside refs/{tags,heads/* are still still not symmetrical with how "git push" works, as discussed in the recently changed pull-fetch-param.txt documentation. This change brings the two divergent behaviors more into line with one another. I don't think there's any reason "fetch" couldn't fully converge with the behavior used by "push", but that's a topic for another change.

check_one_conflict() compares `i` to `active_nr` in two places to avoid buffer overruns, but left out an important third location. The code did used to have a check here comparing i to active_nr, back before commit fb70a06 ("rerere: fix an off-by-one non-bug", 2015-06-28), however the code at the time used an 'if' rather than a 'while' meaning back then that this loop could not have read past the end of the array, making the check unnecessary and it was removed. Unfortunately, in commit 5eda906 ("rerere: handle conflicts with multiple stage #1 entries", 2015-07-24), the 'if' was changed to a 'while' and the check comparing i and active_nr was not re-instated, leading to this problem.

Ever since the split index feature was introduced [1], refreshing a
split index is prone to a variant of the classic racy git problem.
There are a couple of unrelated tests in the test suite that
occasionally fail when run with 'GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=yes', but
't1700-split-index.sh', the only test script focusing solely on split
index, has never noticed this issue, because it only cares about how
the index is split under various circumstances and all the different
ways to turn the split index feature on and off.
Add a dedicated test script 't1701-racy-split-index.sh' to exercise
the split index feature in racy situations as well; kind of a
"t0010-racy-git.sh for split index" but with modern style (the tests
do everything in &&-chained list of commands in 'test_expect_...'
blocks, and use 'test_cmp' for more informative output on failure).
The tests cover the following sequences of index splitting, updating,
and racy file modifications, with the last two cases demonstrating the
racy split index problem:
1. Split the index while adding a racily clean file:
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --split-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file # size stays the same
This case already works properly. Even though the cache entry's
stat data matches with the modifid file in the worktree,
subsequent git commands will notice that the (split) index and
the file have the same mtime, and then will go on to check the
file's content and notice its dirtiness.
2. Add a racily clean file to an already split index:
git update-index --split-index
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
This case already works properly. After the second 'git
update-index' writes the newly added file's cache entry to the
new split index, it basically works in the same way as case #1.
3. Split the index when it (i.e. the not yet splitted index)
contains a racily clean cache entry, i.e. an entry whose cached
stat data matches with the corresponding file in the worktree and
the cached mtime matches that of the index:
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git update-index --split-index --add other-file
This case already works properly. The shared index is written by
do_write_index(), i.e. the same function that is responsible for
writing "regular" and split indexes as well. This function
cleverly notices the racily clean cache entry, and writes the
entry to the new shared index with smudged stat data, i.e. file
size set to 0. When subsequent git commands read the index, they
will notice that the smudged stat data doesn't match with the
file in the worktree, and then go on to check the file's content
and notice its dirtiness.
4. Update the split index when it contains a racily clean cache
entry:
git update-index --split-index
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git update-index --add other-file
This case already works properly. After the second 'git
update-index' the newly added file's cache entry is only stored
in the split index. If a cache entry is present in the split
index (even if it is a replacement of an outdated entry in the
shared index), then it will always be included in the new split
index on subsequent split index updates (until the file is
removed or a new shared index is written), independently from
whether the entry is racily clean or not. When do_write_index()
writes the new split index, it notices the racily clean cache
entry, and smudges its stat date. Subsequent git commands
reading the index will notice the smudged stat data and then go
on to check the file's content and notice its dirtiness.
5. Update the split index when a racily clean cache entry is stored
only in the shared index:
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --split-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git update-index --add other-file
This case fails due to the racy split index problem. In the
second 'git update-index' prepare_to_write_split_index() decides,
among other things, which cache entries stored only in the shared
index should be replaced in the new split index. Alas, this
function never looks out for racily clean cache entries, and
since the file's stat data in the worktree hasn't changed since
the shared index was written, the entry won't be replaced in the
new split index. Consequently, do_write_index() doesn't even get
this racily clean cache entry, and can't smudge its stat data.
Subsequent git commands will then see that the index has more
recent mtime than the file and that the (not smudged) cached stat
data still matches with the file in the worktree, and,
ultimately, will erroneously consider the file clean.
6. Update the split index after unpack_trees() copied a racily clean
cache entry from the shared index:
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --split-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git read-tree -m HEAD
This case fails due to the racy split index problem. This
basically fails for the same reason as case #5 above, but there
is one important difference, which warrants the dedicated test.
While that second 'git update-index' in case #5 updates
index_state in place, in this case 'git read-tree -m' calls
unpack_trees(), which throws out the entire index, and constructs
a new one from the (potentially updated) copies of the original's
cache entries. Consequently, when prepare_to_write_split_index()
gets to work on this reconstructed index, it takes a different
code path than in case #5 when deciding which cache entries in
the shared index should be replaced. The result is the same,
though: the racily clean cache entry goes unnoticed, it isn't
added to the split index with smudged stat data, and subsequent
git commands will then erroneously consider the file clean.
Note that in the last two 'test_expect_failure' cases I omitted the
'#' (as in nr. of trial) from the tests' name on purpose for now, as
it confuses 'prove' into thinking that those tests failed
unexpectedly.

now, as it breakes the TAP output [2]; it will be added at the end of
the series, when those two tests will be flipped to
'test_expect_success'.
[1] In the branch leading to the merge commit v2.1.0-rc0~45 (Merge
branch 'nd/split-index', 2014-07-16).
[2] In the TAP output a '#' should separate the test's description
from the TODO directive emitted by 'test_expect_failure'. The
additional '#' in "#$trial" interferes with this, the test harness
won't recognize the TODO directive, and will report that those
tests failed unexpectedly.

I noticed this while wondering how somebody could teach range-diff
to honor --notes=amlog while preparing the patches to be compared
[*1*], but this assumption goes against what POSIX.1 says these
days.
It is implementation-defined whether an empty unaffected line is
written as an empty line or a line containing a single <space> character.
cf. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/diff.html#tag_20_34_10_07
We need to insert ", as we disable user's diff.suppressBlankEmpty
settings" before ". We skip it" (and if we get affected by the
setting, we need to fix it; it is not ultra-urgent, though).
[Footnote]
*1* ... which I do not have a good answer to, yet. As discussed
earlier, the diffopt passed into the show_range_diff() machinery is
primarily meant for the final output (i.e. how the matching patches
from the two iterations are compared) and not about how the patches
to be compared are generated. Worse, --notes=amlog (and possibly
other useful options) are parsed by "git log" side of the machinery,
not "git diff" side that populates diffopt.
One-way merge is supposed to take stat info from the index and everything else from the given tree. This implies stage 0 because trees can't have non-zero stages. The add_entry(.., old, ...) call however will keep stage index from the index. This is normally not a problem if the entry from the index is normal (stage #0). But if there is a conflict, we'll get stage #1 entry as "old" and it gets recorded in the final index. Fix it by clearing stage mask. This bug probably comes from b5b4250 (git-read-tree: make one-way merge also honor the "update" flag, 2005-06-07). Before this commit, we may create the final ("dst") index entry from the one in index, but we do clear CE_STAGEMASK. I briefly checked two- and three-way merge functions. I think we don't have the same problem in those.

Phillip found out that 'git checkout -f <branch>' does not restore conflict/unmerged files correctly. All tracked files should be taken from <branch> and all non-zero stages removed. Most of this is true, except that the final file could be in stage one instead of zero. "checkout -f" (among other commands) does this with one-way merge, which is supposed to take stat info from the index and everything else from the given tree. The add_entry(.., old, ...) call in oneway_merge() though will keep stage index from the index. This is normally not a problem if the entry from the index is normal (stage #0). But if there is a conflict, stage #0 does not exist and we'll get stage #1 entry as "old" variable, which gets recorded in the final index. Fix it by clearing stage mask.

The incredibly useful
git-tbdifftool to compare patch series (say, to see what changed between two iterations sent to the Git mailing list) is slightly less useful for this developer due to the fact that it requires thehungarianandnumpyPython packages which are for some reason really hard to build in MSYS2. So hard that I even had to give up, because it was simply easier to re-implement the whole shebang as a builtin command.The project at https://github.com/trast/tbdiff seems to be dormant, anyway. Funny (and true) story: I looked at the open Pull Requests to see how active that project is, only to find to my surprise that I had submitted one in August 2015, and that it was still unanswered let alone merged.
While at it, I forward-ported AEvar's patch to force
--decorate=nobecausegit -p tbdiffwould fail otherwise.Side note: I work on implementing range-diff not only to make life easier for reviewers who have to suffer through v2, v3, ... of my patch series, but also to verify my changes before submitting a new iteration. And also, maybe even more importantly, I plan to use it to verify my merging-rebases of Git for
Windows (for which I previously used to redirect the pre-rebase/post-rebase diffs vs upstream and then compare them using
git diff --no-index). And of course any interested person can see what changes were necessary e.g. in the merging-rebase of Git for Windows onto v2.17.0 by running a command like:base=^{/Start.the.merging-rebase} tag=v2.17.0.windows.1 pre=$tag$base^2 git range-diff $pre$base..$pre $tag$base..$tagThe command uses what it calls the "dual color mode" (can be disabled via
--no-dual-color) which helps identifying what actually changed: it prefixes lines with a-(and red background) that correspond to the first commit range, and with a+(and green background) that correspond to the second range. The rest of the lines will be colored according to the original diffs.Changes since v4:
linear-assignment.hto reflect the new name (instead of the old name, which washungarian.h).range-diff.hto hide the history of the thrice-renamed command.git range-diffnow also shows the usage.diff_opt_parse()loop between twoparse_options(), to make sure that we caught all options, and that the--separator is handled.lookup_commit_reference()call to the newestmaster(it now takes athe_repositoryparameter).Changes since v3:

Adjusted pretty much all commit messages to account for this.
