Remove the sane_grep() shell function in git-sh-setup. The two reasons
for why it existed don't apply anymore:
1. It was added due to GNU grep supporting GREP_OPTIONS. See
e1622bfcba (Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity,
2009-11-23).
Newer versions of GNU grep ignore that, but even on older versions
its existence won't matter, none of these sane_grep() uses care
about grep's output, they're merely using it to check if a string
exists in a file or stream. We also don't care about the "LC_ALL=C"
that "sane_grep" was using, these greps for fixed or ASCII strings
will behave the same under any locale.
2. The SANE_TEXT_GREP added in 71b401032b (sane_grep: pass "-a" if
grep accepts it, 2016-03-08) isn't needed either, none of these grep
uses deal with binary data.

The is_zero_oid() function in git-submodule.sh has not been used since

Unlike some other functions in git-sh-setup.sh, this function has not

sh-setup: enclose setting of ${VAR=default} in double-quotes
We often make sure an environment variable is set to
something, either set by the user (in which case we do not
molest it) or set it to our default value (otherwise), with
: ${VAR=default value}
i.e. running the no-op command ":" with ${VAR} as its
parameters (or the default value we supply), relying on that
":" is a no-op.
This pattern, even though it is no-op from correctness point
of view, still can be expensive if the existing value in VAR
has shell glob (because they will be expanded against
filesystem entities) and IFS whitespaces (because the value
need to be split into multiple parameters). Our invocation
of ":" command does not care if the parameter given to it is
after the value in VAR goes through these processing.
Enclosing the whole thing in double-quote, i.e.
: "${VAR=default value}"
avoids paying the unnecessary cost, so let's do so.

By default, Git used to set $LESS to -FRSX if $LESS was not set by
the user. The FRX flags actually make sense for Git (F and X because
sometimes the output Git pipes to less is short, and R because Git
pipes colored output). The S flag (chop long lines), on the other
hand, is not related to Git and is a matter of user preference. Git
should not decide for the user to change LESS's default.
More specifically, the S flag harms users who review untrusted code
within a pager, since a patch looking like:
-old code;
+new good code; [... lots of tabs ...] malicious code;
would appear identical to:
-old code;
+new good code;
Users who prefer the old behavior can still set the $LESS environment
variable to -FRSX explicitly, or set core.pager to 'less -S'.
The documentation in config.txt is made a bit longer to keep both an
example setting the 'S' flag (needed to recover the old behavior)
and an example showing how to unset a flag set by Git.

Just like we give a reasonable default for "less" via the LESS
environment variable, specify a reasonable default for "lv" via the
"LV" environment variable when spawning the pager.
* jn/pager-lv-default-env:
pager: set LV=-c alongside LESS=FRSX
On systems with lv configured as the preferred pager (i.e.,
DEFAULT_PAGER=lv at build time, or PAGER=lv exported in the
environment) git commands that use color show control codes instead of
color in the pager:
$ git diff
^[[1mdiff --git a/.mailfilter b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1mindex aa4f0b2..17e113e 100644^[[m
^[[1m--- a/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[1m+++ b/.mailfilter^[[m
^[[36m@@ -1,11 +1,58 @@^[[m
"less" avoids this problem because git uses the LESS environment
variable to pass the -R option ('output ANSI color escapes in raw
form') by default. Use the LV environment variable to pass 'lv' the
-c option ('allow ANSI escape sequences for text decoration / color')
to fix it for lv, too.
Noticed when the default value for color.ui flipped to 'auto' in

In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.
The harm:
- When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
the #! line are not used. Specifying a particular shell can
confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.
- Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.
- Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
executable. This check does not work if shell libraries also start
with a #! line.
The good:
- Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
place.
The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix). Replace the opening #! lines with comments.
This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).
Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian. Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.
Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:
find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
while read file
do
read line <"$file"
case $line in
'#!'*)
echo "$file"
;;
esac
done
The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts
(unimplemented.sh, wrap-for-bin.sh) and sample input used in tests

The set_reflog_action helper (in git-sh-setup) is designed to be
used once at the very top of a program, like this in "git am", for
example:
set_reflog_action am
The helper function sets the given string to GIT_REFLOG_ACTION only
when GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is not yet set. Thanks to this, "git am",
when run as the top-level program, will use "am" in GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
and the reflog entries made by whatever it does will record the
updates of refs done by "am".
Because of the conditional assignment, when "git am" is run as a
subprogram (i.e. an implementation detail) of "git rebase" that
already sets GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to its own name, the call in "git am"
to the helper function at the beginning will *not* have any effect.
So "git rebase" can do this:
set_reflog_action rebase
... do its own preparation, like checking out "onto" commit
... decide to do "format-patch" to "am" pipeline
git format-patch --stdout >mbox
git am mbox
and the reflog entries made inside "git am" invocation will say
"rebase", not "am".
Calls to "git" commands that update refs would use GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
to record who did that update. Most such calls in scripted Porcelains
do not define custom reflog message and rely on GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to
contain its (or its caller's, when it is called as a subprogram) name.
If a scripted Porcelain wants to record a custom reflog message for
a single invocation of "git" command (e.g. when "git rebase" uses
"git checkout" to detach HEAD at the commit a series is to be
replayed on), it needs to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to the custom
message and export it while calling the "git" command, but such an
assignment must be restricted to that single "git" invocation and
should not be left behind to affect later codepath.
Document the rules to avoid future confusion.

Adjust the order mergetools feeds the files to the p4merge backend
to match the p4 convention.
* kb/p4merge:
merge-one-file: force content conflict for "both sides added" case
git-merge-one-file: send "ERROR:" messages to stderr
git-merge-one-file: style cleanup
merge-one-file: remove stale comment
mergetools/p4merge: create a base if none available
mergetools/p4merge: swap LOCAL and REMOTE
Originally, with no base, Git gave P4Merge $LOCAL as a dummy base:
p4merge "$LOCAL" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"
Commit 0a0ec7bd changed this to:
p4merge "empty file" "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE" "$MERGED"
to avoid the problem of being unable to save in some circumstances with
similar inputs.
Unfortunately this approach produces much worse results on differing
inputs. P4Merge really regards the blank file as the base, and once you
have just a couple of differences between the two branches you end up
with one a massive full-file conflict. The 3-way diff is not readable,
and you have to invoke "difftool MERGE_HEAD HEAD" manually to get a
useful view.
The original approach appears to have invoked special 2-way merge
behaviour in P4Merge that occurs only if the base filename is "" or
equal to the left input. You get a good visual comparison, and it does
not auto-resolve differences. (Normally if one branch matched the base,
it would autoresolve to the other branch).
But there appears to be no way of getting this 2-way behaviour and being
able to reliably save. Having base==left appears to be triggering other
assumptions. There are tricks the user can use to force the save icon
on, but it's not intuitive.
So we now follow a suggestion given in the original patch's discussion:
generate a virtual base, consisting of the lines common to the two
branches. This is the same as the technique used in resolve and octopus
merges, so we relocate that code to a shared function.
Note that if there are no differences at the same location, this
technique can lead to automatic resolution without conflict, combining
everything from the 2 files. As with the other merges using this
technique, we assume the user will inspect the result before saving.

Somebody tried "git pull" from a random place completely outside the work
tree, while exporting GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE that are set to correct
places, e.g.
GIT_WORK_TREE=$HOME/git.git
GIT_DIR=$GIT_WORK_TREE/.git
export GIT_WORK_TREE GIT_DIR
cd /tmp
git pull
At the beginning of git-pull, we check "require-work-tree" and then
"cd-to-toplevel". I _think_ the original intention when I wrote the
command was "we MUST have a work tree, our $(cwd) might not be at the
top-level directory of it", and no stronger than that. That check is a
very sensible thing to do before doing cd-to-toplevel. We check that the
place we would want to go exists, and then go there.
But the implementation of require_work_tree we have today is quite
different. I don't have energy to dig the history, but currently it says:
test "$(git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null)" = true ||
die "fatal: $0 cannot be used without a working tree."
Which is completely bogus. Even though we may happen to be just outside
of it right now, we may have a working tree that we can cd_to_toplevel
back to.
Add a function "require_work_tree_exists" that implements the check
this function originally intended (this is so that third-party scripts
that rely on the current behaviour do not have to get broken).
For now, update _no_ in-tree scripts, not even "git pull", as nobody on
the list seems to really care about the above corner case workflow that
triggered this. Scripts can be updated after vetting that they do want the
"we want to make sure the place we are going to go actually exists"
semantics.

Although Git interally has the facility to differentiate between
porcelain and plubmbing commands and appropriately print errors,
several shell scripts invoke plubming commands triggering cryptic
plumbing errors to be displayed on a porcelain interface. This patch
replaces the "needs update" message in git-pull and git-rebase, when
`git update-index` is run, with a more friendly message.
