The error handling for git_config is somewhat confusing. We
collect errors from running git_config_from_file on the
various config files and carefully pass them back up. But
the two odd things are:

  1. We actually die on most errors in git_config_from_file.
     In fact, the only error we actually pass back up is if
     fopen() fails on the file.

  2. Most callers of git_config do not check the error
     return at all, but will continue if git_config reports
     an error.

When the code for "git -c core.foo=bar" was added, it
dutifully passed errors up the call stack, only for them to
be eventually ignored. This makes it inconsistent with the
file-parsing code, which will die when it sees malformed
config. And it's somewhat unsafe, because it means an error
in parsing a typo like:

  git -c clean.requireforce=ture clean

will continue the command, ignoring the config the user
tried to give.

If you do something like:

  git -c core.foo="value with = in it" ...

we would split your option on "=" into three fields and
throw away the third one. With this patch we correctly take
everything after the first "=" as the value (keys cannot
have an equals sign in them, so the parsing is unambiguous).

Previously we parsed GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS lazily into a
linked list, and then checked that list during future
invocations of git_config. However, that ignores the fact
that the environment variable could change during our run
(e.g., because we parse more "-c" as part of an alias).

Instead, let's just re-parse the environment variable each
time. It's generally not very big, and it's no more work
than parsing the config files, anyway.

As a bonus, we can ditch all of the linked list storage code
entirely, making the code much simpler.

The test unfortunately still does not pass because of an
unrelated bug in handle_options.

In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for

The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.

These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.

We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.

This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.

Sanity-check config variable names when adding and retrieving them.  As a side
effect code duplication between git_config_set_multivar and get_value (in
builtin/config.c) was removed and the common functionality was placed in
git_config_parse_key.

This breaks a test in t1300 which used invalid section-less keys in the tests
for "git -c". However, allowing such names there was useless, since there was
no way to set them via config file, and no part of git actually tried to use
section-less keys. This patch updates the test to use more realistic examples
as well as adding its own test.

Users are sometimes confused with two different types of "tracking" behavior
in Git: "remote-tracking" branches (e.g. refs/remotes/*/*) versus the
merge/rebase relationship between a local branch and its @{upstream}
(controlled by branch.foo.remote and branch.foo.merge config settings).

When the push.default is set to 'tracking', it specifies that a branch should
be pushed to its @{upstream} branch. In other words, setting push.default to
'tracking' applies only to the latter of the above two types of "tracking"
behavior.

In order to make this more understandable to the user, we rename the
push.default == 'tracking' option to push.default == 'upstream'.

push.default == 'tracking' is left as a deprecated synonym for 'upstream'.

This function recently gained the ability to recognize the documented "0"
and "1" values as false/true. However, unlike regular git_config_bool, it
did not treat arbitrary non-zero numbers as true.

While this is undocumented and probably ridiculous for somebody to rely
on, it is safer to behave exactly as git_config_bool would. Because
git_config_maybe_bool can be used to retrofit new non-bool values onto
existing bool options, not behaving in exactly the same way is technically
a regression.

We explicitly document "0" and "1" as synonyms for "false"
and "true" in boolean config options. However, we don't
actually handle those values in git_config_maybe_bool.

In most cases this works fine, as we call git_config_bool,
which in turn calls git_config_bool_or_int, which in turn
calls git_config_maybe_bool. Values of 0/1 are considered
"not bool", but their integer values end up being converted
to the corresponding boolean values.

However, the log.decorate code looks for maybe_bool
explicitly, so that it can fall back to the "short" and
"full" strings. It does not handle 0/1 at all, and considers
them invalid values.

We cannot simply add 0/1 support to git_config_maybe_bool.
That would confuse git_config_bool_or_int, which may want to
distinguish the integer values "0" and "1" from bools.

Even though git makes sure that it uses enough hexdigits to show an
abbreviated object name unambiguously, as more objects are added to the
repository over time, a short name that used to be unique will stop being
unique.  Git uses this many extra hexdigits that are more than necessary
to make the object name currently unique, in the hope that its output will
stay unique a bit longer.

The git_config() function signals error by returning -1 in
two instances:

  1. An actual error occurs in opening a config file (parse
     errors cause an immediate die).

  2. Of the three possible config files, none was found.

However, this second case is often not an error at all; it
simply means that the user has no configuration (they are
outside a repo, and they have no ~/.gitconfig file). This
can lead to confusing errors, such as when the bash
completion calls "git config --list" outside of a repo. If
the user has a ~/.gitconfig, the command completes
succesfully; if they do not, it complains to stderr.

This patch allows callers of git_config to distinguish
between the two cases. Error is signaled by -1, and
otherwise the return value is the number of files parsed.
This means that the traditional "git_config(...) < 0" check
for error should work, but callers who want to know whether
we parsed any files or not can still do so.

Git uses the "-c foo=bar" parameters to set a config
variable for a single git invocation. We currently do this
by making a list in the current process and consulting that
list in git_config.

This works fine for built-ins, but the config changes are
silently ignored by subprocesses, including dashed externals
and invocations to "git config" from shell scripts.

This patch instead puts them in an environment variable
which we consult when looking at config (both internally and
via calls "git config").

conversion but does not override the automatic text file detection.

Add a new attribute "eol" with possible values "crlf" and "lf".  When
set, this attribute enables normalization and forces git to use CRLF or
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

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

get_commit_notes(): Plug memory leak when 'if' triggers, but not because of read_sha1_file() failure

In 2d14d65c (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:

-	write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+	strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+	write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+	strbuf_reset(&buf);

IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,

    static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
    {
           return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
    }

and then use it like this:

-       strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
-       write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
-       strbuf_reset(&buf);
+       write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");

Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.

Transformed via this:

    perl -pi -e \
        's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\
      $(git grep -l 'write_in_full.*"')

Configuration values are expected to be quoted when they have leading or

the value is not quoted. This is already documented in git-config(1), but
the code caused inner whitespace to be collapsed to a single space,
breaking, for example, clones from a path that has two consecutive spaces
in it, as future fetches would only see a single space.
