"git commit --amend --only --" was meant to allow "Clever" people to

"git diff", "git status" and anything that internally uses the

Some implementations of Perl terminates "lines" with CRLF even when

If "git am" fails to apply something, the end user may need to know
where to find the patch that failed to apply, so that the user can
do other things (e.g. trying "GNU patch" on it, running "diffstat"
to see what it tried to change, etc.)  The input to "am" may have
contained more than one patch, or the message may have been MIME
encoded, and knowing what the user fed to "am" does not help very
much for this purpose.

Also introduce advice.amworkdir configuration to allow people who
learned where to look to squelch this message.

Since 69c30517 (submodules: refactor computation of relative gitdir path)
cloning a submodule recursively fails for nested submodules when a
symbolic link is part of the path to the work tree of the superproject.

This happens when module_clone() tries to find the relative paths between
the work tree and the git dir. When a symbolic link in current $PWD points
to a directory that is at a different level, then determining the number
of "../" needed to traverse to the superproject's work tree leads to a
wrong result.

As there is no portable way to say "pwd -P", use cd_to_toplevel to remove
the link from $PWD, which fixes this problem.

A test for this issue has been added to t7406.

When "git log" gets "--simplify-merges/by-decoration" together with
"--first-parent", the combination of these options makes the
simplification logic to use in-core commit objects that haven't been

When we do not have any pathspec, we typically disallow an
explicit "--only", because it makes no sense (your commit
would, by definition, be empty). But since 6a74642c
(git-commit --amend: two fixes., 2006-04-20), we have
allowed "--amend --only" with the intent that it would amend
the commit, ignoring any contents staged in the index.

However, while that commit allowed the combination, we never
actually implemented the logic to make it work. The current
code notices that we have no pathspec and assumes we want to
do an as-is commit (i.e., the "--only" is ignored).

Instead, we must make sure to follow the partial-commit
code-path. We also need to tweak the list_paths function to
handle a NULL pathspec.

We should be letting the user's umask take care of

from an existing commit; it was missed when the corresponding logic

forces git-timestamp, 2012-02-02).

This is the last remaining call to mkdir(2) that restricts the permission
bits by passing 0755.  Just use the same mkdir_in_gitdir() used to create

Signed-off-by: NJunio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The original version of the git-clone just used mkdir(1) to create
the working directories.  The version rewritten in C creates all
directories inside the working tree by using the mode argument of
0777 when calling mkdir(2) to let the umask take effect.

But the top-level directory of the working tree is created by
passing the mode argument of 0755 to mkdir(2), which results in an
overly tight restriction if the user wants to make directories group
writable with a looser umask like 002.

"git commit --amend" used on a commit with an empty message fails
unless -m is given, whether or not --allow-empty-message is
specified.

Allow it to proceed to the editor with an empty commit message.
Unless --allow-empty-message is in force, it will still abort later
if an empty message is saved from the editor (this check was
already necessary to prevent a non-empty commit message being edited
to an empty one).

Add a test for --amend --edit of an empty commit message which fails
without this fix, as it's a rare case that won't get frequently
tested otherwise.
