68f532f4ba git-svn: use YAML format for mergeinfo cache when possible
Since v1.7.0-rc2~11 (git-svn: persistent memoization, 2010-01-30),
git-svn has maintained some private per-repository caches in
.git/svn/.caches to avoid refetching and recalculating some
mergeinfo-related information with every "git svn fetch".

These caches use the 'nstore' format from the perl core module
Storable, which can be read and written quickly and was designed for
transfer over the wire (the 'n' stands for 'network').  This format is
endianness-independent and independent of floating-point
representation.

Unfortunately the format is *not* independent of the perl version ---
new perl versions will write files that very old perl cannot read.
Worse, the format is not independent of the size of a perl integer.
So if you toggle perl's use64bitint compile-time option, then using
'git svn fetch' on your old repositories produces errors like this:

	Byte order is not compatible at ../../lib/Storable.pm (autosplit
	into ../../lib/auto/Storable/_retrieve.al) line 380, at
	/usr/share/perl/5.12/Memoize/Storable.pm line 21

That is, upgrading perl to a version that uses use64bitint for the
first time makes git-svn suddenly refuse to fetch in existing
repositories.  Removing .git/svn/.caches lets git-svn recover.

It's time to switch to a platform independent serializer backend with
better compatibility guarantees.  This patch uses YAML::Any.

Other choices were considered:

 - thawing data from Data::Dumper involves "eval".  Doing that without
   creating a security risk is fussy.

 - the JSON API works on scalars in memory and doesn't provide a
   standard way to serialize straight to disk.

YAML::Any is reasonably fast and has a pleasant API.  In most
backends, LoadFile() reads the entire file into a scalar anyway and
converts it as a second step, but having an interface that allows the
deserialization to happen on the fly without a temporary is still a
comfort.

YAML::Any is not a core perl module, so we take care to use it when
and only when it is available.  Installations without that module
should fall back to using Storable with all its quirks, keeping their
cache files in

	.git/svn/.caches/*.db

Installations with YAML peacefully coexist by keeping a separate set
of cache files in

	.git/svn/.caches/*.yaml.

In most cases, switching between is a one-time thing, so it doesn't
seem worth the complication to migrate existing caches.

The upshot: after this patch, as long as YAML::Any is installed you
can move your git repository between machines with different perl
installations and "git svn fetch" will work fine.  If you do not have
YAML::Any, the behavior is unchanged (and in particular does not get
any worse).

9f7ad1479d git-svn: make Git::SVN::RA a separate file
This slices off another 600 or so lines from the frighteningly long
git-svn.perl script.

The Git::SVN::Ra interface is similar enough to SVN::Ra that it is
probably safe to ignore most of its implementation on first reading.
(Documenting or moving functions that do not fit that pattern is left
as an exercise to the interested reader.)

c102f4cf72 git-svn: move Git::SVN::Prompt into its own file
git-svn.perl is very long (around 6500 lines) and although it is
nicely split into modules, some new readers do not even notice --- it
is too distracting to see all this functionality collected in a single
file.

Splitting it into multiple files would make it easier for people
to read individual modules straight through and to experiment with
components separately.

Let's start with Git::SVN::Prompt.  For simplicity, we install this as
a module in the standard search path, just like the existing Git and
Git::I18N modules.  In the process, add a manpage explaining its
interface and that it is not likely to be useful for other projects to
avoid confusion.

When I added the i18n infrastructure in v1.7.8-rc2-1-g5e9637c I forgot

Now Git/I18N.pm is installed alongside Git.pm in such a way that
anything that uses GITPERLLIB will find it.

5e9637c629 i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext
Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show
localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using
either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation.

This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If
gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with
NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of
showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script
we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act
appropriately.

This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and
Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for
those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test
translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this
purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy
to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to
understand.

The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various
sub-parts of this commit.

= Installation

Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard
$(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to
override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself.

= Perl

Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n
module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default.

Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've
opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface)
Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses.

Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and
some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the
$TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own
hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages.

I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to
circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly
internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed
necessary.

See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for
a further elaboration on this topic.

= Shell

Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n
library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh.

If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's
available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris,
which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to
emulate eval_gettext() there.

If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through
wrapper.

= About libcharset.h and langinfo.h

We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if
it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if
HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set.

The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's
nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on
systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is
either saner, or the only option on those systems.

GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either,
but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset()
instead.

48d9e6ae4b perl: command_bidi_pipe() method should set-up git environmens
When command_input_pipe and command_output_pipe are used as a
method of a Git::repository instance, they eventually call into
_cmd_exec method that sets up the execution environment such as
GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables and the current
working directory in the child process that interacts with the
repository.

command_bidi_pipe however didn't expect to be called as such, and
lacked all these set-up.  Because of this, a program that did this
did not work as expected:

    my $repo = Git->repository(Directory => '/some/where/else');
    my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) =
    $repo->command_bidi_pipe(qw(hash-object -w --stdin-paths));

This patch refactors the _cmd_exec into _setup_git_cmd_env that
sets up the execution environment, and makes _cmd_exec and
command_bidi_pipe to use it.

Note that unlike _cmd_exec that execv's a git command as an
external process, command_bidi_pipe is called from the main line
of control, and the execution environment needs to be restored
after open2() does its magic.

d48b284183 perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]
Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already
used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but
t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2.

However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since
it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open
syntax:

    sub run_cmd_pipe {
           my $fh = undef;
           open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
           return <$fh>;
    }

Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as
filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even
more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1):

    t2016-checkout-patch.sh
    t3904-stash-patch.sh
    t3701-add-interactive.sh
    t7105-reset-patch.sh
    t7501-commit.sh
    t9700-perl-git.sh

Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and
pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using
useful features introduced in the 5.8 release.

The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance
release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.

All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or
a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX
Solaris and Tru64 systems.

fa57f717cd perl/Makefile: Unset INSTALL_BASE when making perl.mak
PREFIX and INSTALL_BASE are mutually exclusive. If both are supplied
by INSTALL_BASE being set in PERL_MM_OPT ExtUtils::MakeMaker will
produce an error:

    $ echo $PERL_MM_OPT

    $ make -C perl  PERL_PATH='/usr/bin/perl' prefix='/home/avar' perl.mak

    Only one of PREFIX or INSTALL_BASE can be given.  Not both.
    make: *** [perl.mak] Error 255
    make: Leaving directory `/home/avar/g/git/perl'

Change the perl Makefile to work around this by explicitly unsetting
INSTALL_BASE.

INSTALL_BASE is set in PERL_MM_OPT by e.g. the popular local::lib
package, from its documentation:

    eval $(perl -I$HOME/perl5/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib 2>/dev/null)

Many other environments might also have set PERL_MM_OPT before
building Git. This change enables us to build in these environments.

402e139c7e git-svn: support fetch with autocrlf on
Before commit d3c9634e, performing a "git svn rebase" that fetched a
change containing CRLFs corrupted the git-svn meta-data. This was
worked around in d3c9634e by setting core.autocrlf to "false" in the
per-repo config when initing the clone. However, if the config
variable was later changed, the corruption would still occur.

This patch tries to fix it while allowing core.autocrlf to be
enabled, by disabling filters when when hashing.

git-svn is currently the only call-site for hash_and_insert_object
(apart from the test-suite), so changing it should be safe.

e41352b24e Git.pm: Add faculties to allow temp files to be cached
This patch offers a generic interface to allow temp files to be
cached while using an instance of the 'Git' package. If many
temp files are created and destroyed during the execution of a
program, this caching mechanism can help reduce the amount of
files created and destroyed by the filesystem.

The temp_acquire method provides a weak guarantee that a temp
file will not be stolen by subsequent requests. If a file is
locked when another acquire request is made, a simple error is
thrown.

Git::DESTROY calls _close_cat_blob and _close_hash_and_insert_object,

b4c61ed6d3 Color support for "git-add -i"
This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to
use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it
simpler and more consistent with commands written in C.

A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and
color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color.

A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to
define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text.

For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes
the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape
sequence to color the output text.  $repo->get_colorbool() method can be
used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

74f2b2a8d0 Make 'make' quieter while building git
I find it difficult to see compiler warnings amongst the massive
spewing produced by GNU make as it works through our productions.
This is especially true if CFLAGS winds up being rather long, due
to a large number of -W options being enabled and due to a number
of -D options being configured/required by my platform.

By defining QUIET_MAKE (e.g. make QUIET_MAKE=YesPlease) during
compilation users will get a less verbose output, such as:

    ...
    CC builtin-grep.c
builtin-grep.c:187: warning: 'external_grep' defined but not used
    CC builtin-init-db.c
    CC builtin-log.c

Git.xs is not going away forever. When the Git libification makes some

component, due to the portability woes) since the performance boosts are
really important for applications like Gitweb or Cogito. It needs to go
away now since it is not really reliable in case you use it for several
repositories in the scope of a single process, and that is not possible
to fix without some either very ugly or very intrusive core changes.

Direct .xs routine. Note that it does not work 100% correctly when
you juggle multiple repository objects, but it is not that bad either.
The trouble is that we might reuse packs information for another
Git project; that is not an issue since Git depends on uniqueness
of SHA1 ids so if we have found the object somewhere else, it is
nevertheless going to be the same object. It merely makes object
existence detection through this method unreliable; it is duly noted
in the documentation.

At least that's how I see it, I hope I didn't overlook any other
potential problem. I tested it for memory leaks and it appears to be
doing ok.

This introduces a setup_git() function which is essentialy a (public)
backend for setup_git_env() which lets anyone specify custom sources
for the various paths instead of environment variables. Since the repositories
may get switched on the fly, this also updates code that caches paths to
invalidate them properly; I hope neither of those is a sweet spot.

It is used by Git.xs' xs__call_gate() to set up per-repository data
for libgit's consumption. No code actually takes advantage of it yet

resulted in installing our own version of Error.pm anyways.

Now we used to ship our own Error.pm in the same directory, so after
fixing the syntax, 'require' always succeeds, but it does not test if
the platform has Error.pm module installed anymore.  So rename the
source we ship to private-Error.pm, and install that as Error.pm when
the platform does not have one already.

a6065b548f Git.pm: Try to support ActiveState output pipe
The code is stolen from git-annotate and completely untested since
I don't have access to any Microsoft operating system now. Someone
ActiveState-savvy should look at it anyway and try to implement
the input pipe as well, if it is possible at all; also, the implementation
seems to be horribly whitespace-unsafe.

d595a473ee Git.pm: assorted build related fixes.
- We passed our own *.a archives as LIBS to the submake that runs
   in perl/; separate LIBS and EXTLIBS and pass the latter which
   tells what the system libraries are used.

 - The quoting of preprocesor symbol definitions passed down to
   perl/ submake was loose and we lost double quotes around
   include directives.  Use *_SQ to quote them properly.

 - The installation location of perl/ submake is not
   architecture neutral anymore, so use SITEARCH instead of
   SITELIB.

d5c7721d58 Git.pm: Add support for subdirectories inside of working copies
This patch adds support for subdirectories inside of working copies;
you can specify them in the constructor either as the Directory
option (it will just get autodetected using rev-parse) or explicitly
using the WorkingSubdir option. This makes Git->repository() do the
exact same path setup and repository lookup as the Git porcelain
does.

This patch also introduces repo_path(), wc_path() and wc_subdir()
accessor methods and wc_chdir() mutator.

8b9150e3e3 Git.pm: Handle failed commands' output
Currently if an external command returns error exit code, a generic exception
is thrown and there is no chance for the caller to retrieve the command's
output.

This patch introduces a Git::Error::Command exception class which is thrown
in this case and contains both the error code and the captured command output.
You can use the new git_cmd_try statement to fatally catch the exception
while producing a user-friendly message.

It also adds command_close_pipe() for easier checking of exit status of
a command we have just a pipe handle of. It has partial forward dependency
on the next patch, but basically only in the area of documentation.

97b16c0674 Git.pm: Better error handling
So far, errors just killed the whole program and in case of an error
inside of libgit it would be totally uncatchable. This patch makes
Git.pm throw standard Perl exceptions instead. In the future we might
subclass Error to Git::Error or something but for now Error::Simple
is more than enough.

5c4082fd68 Add Error.pm to the distribution
I have been thinking about how to do the error reporting the best
way and after scraping various overcomplicated concepts, I have
decided that by far the most elegant way is to throw Error exceptions;
the closest sane alternative is to catch the dies in Git.pm by
enclosing the calls in eval{}s and that's really _quite_ ugly.

The only "small" trouble is that Error.pm turns out sadly not to be
part of the standard distribution, and installation from CPAN is
a bother, especially if you can't install it system-wide. But since
it is very small, I've decided to just bundle it.

Instead of explicitly using the git wrapper to call external commands,
use the execv_git_cmd() function which will directly call whatever
needs to be called. GitBin option becomes useless so drop it.

This actually means the exec_path() thing I planned to use worthless
internally, but Jakub wants it in anyway and I don't mind, so...

b1edc53d06 Introduce Git.pm (v4)
This patch introduces a very basic and barebone Git.pm module
with a sketch of how the generic interface would look like;
most functions are missing, but this should give some good base.
I will continue expanding it.

Most desirable now is more careful error reporting, generic_in() for feeding
input to Git commands and the repository() constructor doing some poking
with git-rev-parse to get the git directory and subdirectory prefix.
Those three are basically the prerequisities for converting git-mv.
I will send them as follow-ups to this patch.

Currently Git.pm just wraps up exec()s of Git commands, but even that
is not trivial to get right and various Git perl scripts do it in
various inconsistent ways. In addition to Git.pm, there is now also
Git.xs which provides barebone Git.xs for directly interfacing with
libgit.a, and as an example providing the hash_object() function using
libgit.

This adds the Git module, integrates it to the build system and as
an example converts the git-fmt-merge-msg.perl script to it (the result
is not very impressive since its advantage is not quite apparent in this
one, but I just picked up the simplest Git user around).

Compared to v3, only very minor things were fixed in this patch (some
whitespaces, a missing export, tiny bug in git-fmt-merge-msg.perl);
at first I wanted to post them as a separate patch but since this
is still only in pu, I decided that it will be cleaner to just resend
the patch.

My current working state is available all the time at

	http://pasky.or.cz/~xpasky/git-perl/Git.pm

and an irregularily updated API documentation is at
