[PATCH/RFC] Gitweb: Convert UTF-8 encoded file names

[Michael Wagner]

[-- Attachment #1: 28222-Gitweb-Convert-UTF-8-encoded-file-names.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 876 bytes --]

Perl has an internal encoding used to store text strings. Currently, trying to
view files with UTF-8 encoded names results in an error (either "404 - Cannot
find file" [blob_plain] or "XML Parsing Error" [blob]). Converting these UTF-8
encoded file names into Perl's internal format resolves these errors.

Cc'ing Jakub, who have been the area maintainer, for comments.

One thing I wonder is that, if there are some additional calls to
encode() necessary before we embed $file_name (which are now decoded
to the internal string form, not a byte-sequence that happens to be
in utf-8) in the generated pages, if we were to do this change.

Could you give us an example?  What is important is whether filename
is passed via path_info or via query string.

Because in evaluate_uri() there is

     our $path_info = decode_utf8($ENV{"PATH_INFO"});

and in evaluate_query_params() there is

    $input_params{$name} = decode_utf8($cgi->param($symbol));

There should be no problem with output encoding.  esc_path(), which
should be used for filenames, includes to_utf8, which in turn uses
decode($fallback_encoding, $str, Encode::FB_DEFAULT);

Hmm... all %input_params should have been properly decoded
already, how it was missed?

Also, branchname (hash_base etc.), search query, filename in file_parent,
project name can be UTF-8 too, so it is at best partial fix.

There is a file named "Gütekriterien.txt" in my repository. Trying to
view this file as "blob_plain" produces an 404 error (displaying the
file name with an additional print statement):

$ REQUEST_METHOD=GET QUERY_STRING='p=notes.git;a=blob_plain;f=work/G%C3%83%C2%BCtekriterien.txt;hb=HEAD' ./gitweb.cgi

work/Gütekriterien.txt
Status: 404 Not Found

Decoding the UTF-8 encoded file name (again with an additional print
statement):

$ REQUEST_METHOD=GET QUERY_STRING='p=notes.git;a=blob_plain;f=work/G%C3%83%C2%BCtekriterien.txt;hb=HEAD' ./gitweb.cgi

work/Gütekriterien.txt
Content-disposition: inline; filename="work/Gütekriterien.txt"

The generated pages show the correct file names.

You should fix the code path that created that URI, though, as it is 
not what you expected.

%C3%83 decodes to U+00C3 Latin Capital Letter A With Tilde
%C2%BC decodes to U+00BC Vulgar Graction One Quarter

The proper UTF-8 encoding for ü (U+00FC) is, as you can probably guess from 
looking at which two characters the sequence above yielded, C3 BC, 
which in a URI is represented as %C3%BC.

Your QUERY_STRING should thus be

   p=notes.git;a=blob_plain;f=work/G%C3%BCtekriterien.txt;hb=HEAD

which probably works as expected.

What is happening is that whatever is generating the URI us 
UTF-8-encoding the string twice (i.e., it generates a string with the 
proper C3 BC in it, and then interprets it as iso-8859-1 data and runs 
that through a UTF-8 encoder again, yielding the C3 83 C2 BC sequence 
you see above).

You have URI encoding of "ü" wrong! "ü" encodes as %C3%BC, not
as %C3%83%C2%BC (4 bytes?)

  http://www.url-encode-decode.com/

You tested with wrong input.

BTW. there probably should be test for UTF-8 encoding, similar to
the one for XSS in t9502-gitweb-standalone-parse-output

Thanks for a quick response.  If the input was unnecessarily encoded
one extra time, it is no wonder it needed one unnecessary extra
decoding.

The subroutine "git tree" generates the tree view. It stores the output
of "git ls-tree -z ..." in an array named "@entries". Printing the content
of this array yields the following result:

00644 blob 6419cd06a9461c38d4f94d9705d97eaaa887156a     520 Gütekriterien.txt

This leads to the "doubled" encoding. Declaring the encoding in the call
to open yields the following result:

100644 blob 6419cd06a9461c38d4f94d9705d97eaaa887156a     520 Gütekriterien.txt

Good catch.

Writing test for this would not be easy, and require some HTML
parser (WWW::Mechanize, Web::Scraper, HTML::Query, pQuery,
... or low level HTML::TreeBuilder, or other low level parser).

Or put

                   binmode $fd, ':utf8';

like in the rest of the code.

Even better solution would be to use

    use open IN => ':encoding(utf-8)';

at the beginning of gitweb.perl, once and for all.

Unfortunately the output equivalent requires creating Perl
module for gitweb, to be able to use

    use open OUT => ':encoding(utf-8-with-fallback)';

Though to be exact there isn't any mechanism that ensures that
filenames in tree objects use utf-8 encoding, so perhaps a safer
solution would be to use

   to_utf8($file_name)

(which respects $fallback_encoding) in appropriate places.

Hmph.  Is it more than just looking for a specific run of %xx we
would expect to see in the output of the tree view for a repository
in which there is one tree with non-ASCII name?

I expect a patch to do so and can forget about this thread myself,
then, OK?

Thanks all for digging this to the root.

There is if we want to check (in non-fragile way) that said
specific run is in 'href' *attribute* of 'a' element (link target).

Correct, but is "where does it appear" the question we are
primarily interested in, wrt this breakage and its fix?

If gitweb output has some volatile parts that do not depend on the
contents of the Git test repository (e.g. showing contents of
/etc/motd, date/time of when the test was run, or the full pathname
leading to the trash directory), then preparing a tree whose name is
äéìõû and making sure that the properly encoded version of äéìõû
appears anywhere in the output may not be sufficient to validate
that we got the encoding right, as that string may appear in the
parts that are totally unrelated to the contents being shown and not
under our control.  But is that really the case?

Also we may introduce a bug and misspell the attr name and produce
an anchor element with hpef attribute with the properly encoded URL
in it, and your "parse HTML properly" approach would catch it, but
is that the kind of breakage under discussion?  You hinted at new
tests for UTF-8 encoding in the other message in the thread earlier,
and I've been assuming that we were talking about the encoding test,
not a test to catch s/href/hpef/ kind of breakage.

That of course depends on how we want to test gitweb output.
The simplest solution, comparing with known output with perhaps
fragile / variable elements masked out could be done quickly...
but changes in output (even if they don't change functionality,
or don't change visible output) require regenerating test cases
(expected output) to test against - which might be source of
errors in test suite.

Another simple solution, grepping for expected strings, also
easy to create, has the disadvantage of being only positive
test - you cannot [easily] test that there are no *wrong* output,
only that right string exists somewhere.

Well, I guess that any test is better than no test (though OTOH
Heartbleed and "goto fail" bugs shows the importance of negative
tests).

One of tests possible with HTML parser (e.g. WWW::Mechanize::CGI)
is to check that all [internal] links leads to 200-OK pages, which
accidentally would also be a test against this breakage.

I agree with your "to test it fully, we need extra dependencies",
but my point is that it does not have to be a full "HTML-validating,
picking the expected attribute via XPATH matching" kind of test if
what we want is only to add a new test to protect this particular
fix from future breakages.

For example, I think it is sufficient to grep for 'href="...%xx%xx"'
in the output after preparing a sample tree with one entry to show.
The expected substring either exists (in which case we got it
right), or it doesn't (in which case we are showing garbage).  Of
course that depends on the assumption that its output is not too
heavily contaminated with volatile parts outside our control, as I
already mentioned in the message you are responding to.

But it all depends on "if" we wanted to add a new test ;-)

I tried to add such simple test to t9502, but instead of tests
failing with current version, the test setup fails but succeeds
(i.e. test library says that it failed, but manual examination
shows that everything is O.K.).

-- >8 --
From: Jakub Narebski <jnareb@gmail.com>
Subject: [PATCH/RFC] gitweb test: Test proper encoding of non US-ASCII filenames in output (WIP)

This t9502 test is intended to test for proper encoding of non
US-ASCII filenames (i.e. UTF-8 filenames) in generated links (which
need some form of URI encoding) and in generated HTML (which needs
HTML encoding / escaping).

For now it tests only 'tree' view (though incidentally it also tests
UTF-8 in commit subject), as this was the action where reportedly
there was bug in link encoding: $t{'name'} coming from the
"git ls-tree -z ..." command via @ntries array was not marked as
UTF-8, making Perl assume that it is in internal Perl format
i.e. iso-8859-1 encoding and URI-escaping it as if it was in
iso-8859-1 encoding (e.g. "Gütekriterien.txt" in UTF-8 is
"Gütekriterien.txt" if treated as iso-8859-1, and it then
encodes to "G%C3%83%C2%BCtekriterien.txt" instead of correct
"G%C3%BCtekriterien.txt").

UNFORTUNATELY test does not fail as it should, even though the issue
was not fixed... OTOH it fails in setup though it is successful.

Or harden esc_param / esc_path_info the same way esc_html
is hardened against missing ':utf8' flag.

-- >8 -- 
Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Harden UTF-8 handling in generated links

esc_html() ensures that its input is properly UTF-8 encoded and marked
as UTF-8 with to_utf8().  Make esc_param() (used for query parameters
in generated URLs), esc_path_info() (for escaping path_info
components) and esc_url() use it too.

This hardens gitweb against errors in UTF-8 handling; because
to_utf8() is idempotent it won't change correct output.

While trying to view a "blob_plain" of "Gütekritierien.txt", a 404 error
occured. "git_get_hash_by_path" tries to resolve the hash with the wrong
filename (git ls-tree -z HEAD -- Gütekriterien.txt) and fails.

The filename needs the correct encoding. Something like this is probably
needed for all filenames and should be done at a prior stage:

True.

First, I wonder why the tests I did for this situation didn't
show any errors even before the "harden href()" patch. What
is different in your config that you see those errors?

Second, my "harder href()" patch does not work for this because
concatenation of non-UFT8 with UTF8 string screws up Perl
knowledge what is and isn't UTF8.  So to_utf8() after concat
doesn't help.

Nothing special. It is reproducible with git 1.9.3 (Fedora 20), git

[PATCH v4] remote: add --fetch and --both options to set-url

[Peter Wu]

git remote set-url knew about the '--push' option to update just the
pushurl, but it does not have a similar option for "update fetch URL and
leave whatever was in place for the push URL".

This patch adds support for a '--fetch' option which implements that use
case in a backwards compatible way: if no --both, --push or --fetch
options are given, then the push URL is modified too if it was not set
before. This is the case since the push URL is implicitly based on the
fetch URL.

A '--both' option is added to make the command independent of previous
pushurl settings. For the --add and --delete set operations, it will
always set the push and/ or the fetch URLs. For the primary mode of
operation (without --add or --delete), it will drop pushurl as the
implicit push URL is the (fetch) URL.

While '--both' could be implemented as '--fetch --push', it might also
be mistaken for "--push overrides --fetch". An option such as
"--only={fetch|push|both}" was also considered, but it is longer than
the current options, makes --push redundant and brings the confusing
option "--only=both". Options such as '--direction=...' is too long and
'--dir=' is ambiguous ("directory"?). Thus, for brevity three new
options were introduced.

The documentation has also been updated and a missing '--push' option
is added to the 'git remote -h' command.

Tests are also added to verify the documented behavior.

Hi,

This is the fourth revision of the patch that allows for just setting the fetch
URL. Eric wondered why '--fetch --push' is not used to describe the state
'--both', so I added this to the commit message.

The t5505-remote.sh test still passes after this change (I was unable to run the
full test suite as it broke due to an unrelated gpg issue).

Kind regards,
Peter

 v2: fixed test case
 v3: added --both option, changed --fetch --push behavior, added more tests for
     --add/--delete cases, refactored to reduce duplication (not special-casing
     add_mode without oldurl, just skip initially setting oldurl).
 v4: incorporated documentation suggestion from Eric Sunshine;
     Tried to make the code easier to follow by replacing
     (modify_type == MODIFY_TYPE_FETCH) by
     (modify_type & MODIFY_TYPE_FETCH && modify_type != MODIFY_TYPE_HISTORIC)
     and added comments explaining why this is special (observed by Jeff King);
     Fixed dangling else issue reported by Torsten Bögershausen;
     Added considerations for other options to the commit message;
     Rebased on v2.2.0-65-g9abc44b.

Thanks, I think that explanation is very clear.

This version overall looks good to me.

It is it because you have gpg 2.1, and the patches to handle that are
not yet merged to master? Or is it because you are using the new patches
and they are breaking things for your older gpg version?

If the former, that's fine. If the latter, it would be nice to see a
report of the breakage. :)

Rest assured, this is a gpg 2.1 issue :-)

OK.  In other words, for those without asymmetric configuration
without a need to define pushURL, this default should be the most
convenient, as it does not have to fiddle with two variables.

I think this description is clear enough without "(if exists)" at

I am afraid that this part is confusing when read in the wider
context of the document.

The first sentence of this section (outside the patch) is "Changes
URL remote points to"; I expect that the most people would think
that it is talking about "remote.*.url" configuration, and the
wording for "--push" in the original is also clear that it touches
'remote.*.pushurl' instead.

In the updated text, you use words "fetch URL" and "push URL" to
mean "regardless of how these are represented by the configuration
system, the URL to be used for fetching/pushing".  In other words,
in the updated vocabulary, 'remote.*.pushurl' is *NOT* called "push
URL" (and 'remote.*.url' is not 'fetch URL').

That may be easier for new people who aren't familiar with the
configuration system (read: I am saying that it may be a good idea
in the longer term), but the phrasing does not make it clear that
they are not referring remote.*.{url,pushURL} variables.

Rephrasing these to "URLs used for fetching" vs "URLs used for
pushing" may make things a bit less confusion-prone.

In any case, we would also need to update Documentation/config.txt
which has these:

    remote.<name>.url::
            The URL of a remote repository.  See linkgit:git-fetch[1] or
            linkgit:git-push[1].

    remote.<name>.pushurl::
            The push URL of a remote repository.  See linkgit:git-push[1].

It may be sufficient to rephrase them like so:

    remote.<name>.url::
	The URL of a remote repository, used for fetching from it
        and pushing into it unless a separate remote.<name>.pushURL
        is defined.  See linkgit:git-fetch[1] and linkgit:git-push[1]

    remote.<name>.pushurl::
	The URL of a remote repository, used for pushing into it
        (if undefined, remote.<name>.url is used to push into it).
	See linkgit:git-push[1].

perhaps?

> +For historical reasons, if neither --fetch nor --push is specified then the
> +fetch URL is changed, as well as the push URL if this was not already set. This
> +behavior may change in the future.

This paragraph is unwarranted.  As you explained in the second
paragraph in the log message, the traditional behaviour was a good
default for majority of people and I do not think we saw any
demonstrated need to deprecate it.

> +#define MODIFY_TYPE_FETCH       (1 << 0)
> +#define MODIFY_TYPE_PUSH        (1 << 1)
> +#define MODIFY_TYPE_BOTH        (MODIFY_TYPE_FETCH | MODIFY_TYPE_PUSH)
> +/* The historic behavior behaves like --fetch, but does not touch the push URL
> + * configuration (and thereby may appear to change the push URL too if this was
> + * not set before).
> + */
> +#define MODIFY_TYPE_HISTORIC    (MODIFY_TYPE_FETCH | (1 << 2))

         */

Perhaps s/HISTORIC/TRADITIONAL/ or s/HISTORIC/LITERAL/ (the latter
is for "literally update 'URL' configuration for the named remote,
don't play with 'do we have pushURL?' games").

Likewise.

What's cooking in git.git (Mar 2015, #08; Mon, 23)

[Junio C Hamano]

Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.

This cycle is turning out to be a "shoot for product excellence"
release.  About half of the commits that have been merged to the
'master' so far have also been merged to 'maint' and v2.3.4 has been
tagged.

You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

    http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html

--------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]

* jk/push-config (2015-03-14) 4 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-16 at 6452570)
 + push: allow --follow-tags to be set by config push.followTags
 + cmd_push: pass "flags" pointer to config callback
 + cmd_push: set "atomic" bit directly
 + git_push_config: drop cargo-culted wt_status pointer

 Restructure "git push" codepath to make it easier to add new
 configuration bits and then add push.followTags configuration that
 turns --follow-tags option on by default.


* jk/smart-http-hide-refs (2015-03-12) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-16 at 530df4c)
 + upload-pack: do not check NULL return of lookup_unknown_object
 + upload-pack: fix transfer.hiderefs over smart-http

 The transfer.hiderefs support did not quite work for smart-http
 transport.


* jk/tag-h-column-is-a-listing-option (2015-03-12) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-16 at 42b04c6)
 + tag: fix some mis-organized options in "-h" listing

 "git tag -h" used to show the "--column" and "--sort" options
 that are about listing in a wrong section.


* jk/test-annoyances (2015-03-12) 5 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-16 at 845b091)
 + t5551: make EXPENSIVE test cheaper
 + t5541: move run_with_cmdline_limit to test-lib.sh
 + t: pass GIT_TRACE through Apache
 + t: redirect stderr GIT_TRACE to descriptor 4
 + t: translate SIGINT to an exit

 Test fixes.


* js/completion-ctags-pattern-substitution-fix (2015-03-14) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-17 at 4a68861)
 + contrib/completion: escape the forward slash in __git_match_ctag

 The code that reads from the ctags file in the completion script
 (in contrib/) did not spell ${param/pattern/string} substitution
 correctly, which happened to work with bash but not with zsh.


* nd/config-doc-camelCase (2015-03-13) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-16 at 0e3fedb)
 + *config.txt: stick to camelCase naming convention

 Documentation updates.

--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]

* jc/diff-no-index-d-f (2015-03-22) 1 commit
 - align D/F handling of "diff --no-index" with that of normal Git

 The usual "git diff" when seeing a file turning into a directory
 showed a patchset to remove the file and create all files in the
 directory, but "git diff --no-index" simply refused to work.


* jk/run-command-capture (2015-03-22) 7 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-23 at f6db88b)
 + run-command: forbid using run_command with piped output
 + trailer: use capture_command
 + submodule: use capture_command
 + wt-status: use capture_command
 + run-command: introduce capture_command helper
 + wt_status: fix signedness mismatch in strbuf_read call
 + wt-status: don't flush before running "submodule status"

 The run-command interface was easy to abuse and make a pipe for us
 to read from the process, wait for the process to finish and then
 attempt to read its output, which is a pattern that lead to a
 deadlock.  Fix such uses by introducing a helper to do this
 correctly (i.e. we need to read first and then wait the process to
 finish) and also add code to prevent such abuse in the run-command
 helper.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* tg/fix-check-order-with-split-index (2015-03-20) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-23 at c361f8e)
 + read-cache: fix reading of split index

 The split-index mode introduced at v2.3.0-rc0~41 was broken in the
 codepath to protect us against a broken reimplementation of Git
 that writes an invalid index with duplicated index entries, etc.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* ts/man-pdf (2015-03-20) 1 commit
 - Documentation: make 'make pdf' format manpages to PDF as well

 For offline consumption of manual pages, a target to produce one
 pdf document per manual page was added to Documentation/Makefile.

 Its usefulness is unknown, given that this does not produce a
 single document with all the manual pages in it, which would be not
 much better than keeping a bunch of HTML manual pages we already
 produce and use them instead for offline consumption.


* nd/diff-i-t-a (2015-03-23) 1 commit
 - diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a entries in diff


* sb/leaks (2015-03-23) 9 commits

 + http-push: remove unneeded cleanup
 + merge-recursive: fix memleaks
 + merge-blobs.c: fix a memleak

 - diff: teach --no-relative to override earlier --relative

 No comments?  No interests?


* jc/diff-b-m (2015-02-23) 5 commits
 . WIPWIP
 . WIP: diff-b-m
 - diffcore-rename: allow easier debugging
 - diffcore-rename.c: add locate_rename_src()
 - diffcore-break: allow debugging

 "git diff -B -M" produced incorrect patch when the postimage of a
 completely rewritten file is similar to the preimage of a removed
 file; such a resulting file must not be expressed as a rename from
 other place.

 The fix in this patch is broken, unfortunately.


* pw/remote-set-url-fetch (2014-11-26) 1 commit
 - remote: add --fetch and --both options to set-url

 Expecting a reroll.


* je/quiltimport-no-fuzz (2014-10-21) 2 commits
 - git-quiltimport: flip the default not to allow fuzz
 - git-quiltimport.sh: allow declining fuzz with --exact option

 "quiltimport" drove "git apply" always with -C1 option to reduce
 context of the patch in order to give more chance to somewhat stale
 patches to apply.  Add an "--exact" option to disable, and also
 "-C$n" option to customize this behaviour.  The top patch
 optionally flips the default to "--exact".

 Tired of waiting for an Ack
 Will discard.


* tr/remerge-diff (2014-11-10) 9 commits
 - t4213: avoid "|" in sed regexp
 - log --remerge-diff: show what the conflict resolution changed
 - name-hash: allow dir hashing even when !ignore_case
 - merge-recursive: allow storing conflict hunks in index
 - merge_diff_mode: fold all merge diff variants into an enum
 - combine-diff: do not pass revs->dense_combined_merges redundantly
 - merge-recursive: -Xindex-only to leave worktree unchanged
 - merge-recursive: internal flag to avoid touching the worktree
 - merge-recursive: remove dead conditional in update_stages()

 "log -p" output learns a new way to let users inspect a merge
 commit by showing the differences between the automerged result
 with conflicts the person who recorded the merge would have seen
 and the final conflict resolution that was recorded in the merge.

 Waiting for a reroll ($gmane/256591).


* hv/submodule-config (2014-11-11) 4 commits
 - do not die on error of parsing fetchrecursesubmodules option
 - use new config API for worktree configurations of submodules
 - extract functions for submodule config set and lookup
 - implement submodule config cache for lookup of submodule names

 Kicked back to 'pu' per request ($gmane/255610).

* bg/rebase-off-of-previous-branch (2014-04-16) 1 commit
 - git-rebase: print name of rev when using shorthand

 Teach "git rebase -" to report the concrete name of the branch
 (i.e. the previous one).

 But it stops short and does not do the same for "git rebase @{-1}".
 Expecting a reroll.


* rb/merge-prepare-commit-msg-hook (2014-01-10) 4 commits
 - merge: drop unused arg from abort_commit method signature
 - merge: make prepare_to_commit responsible for write_merge_state
 - t7505: ensure cleanup after hook blocks merge
 - t7505: add missing &&

 Expose more merge states (e.g. $GIT_DIR/MERGE_MODE) to hooks that
 run during "git merge".  The log message stresses too much on one
 hook, prepare-commit-msg, but it would equally apply to other hooks
 like post-merge, I think.

 Waiting for a reroll.


* jc/graph-post-root-gap (2013-12-30) 3 commits
 - WIP: document what we want at the end
 - graph: remove unused code a bit
 - graph: stuff the current commit into graph->columns[]

 This was primarily a RFH ($gmane/239580).


* tg/perf-lib-test-perf-cleanup (2013-09-19) 2 commits
 - perf-lib: add test_perf_cleanup target
 - perf-lib: split starting the test from the execution

 Add test_perf_cleanup shell function to the perf suite, that allows
 the script writers to define a test with a clean-up action.

 Will hold.


* jc/show-branch (2014-03-24) 5 commits

 - show-branch.c: remove "all_mask"
 - show-branch.c: abstract out "flags" operation
 - show-branch.c: lift all_mask/all_revs to a global static
 - show-branch.c: update comment style

* jk/cleanup-failed-clone (2015-03-19) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-23 at 1f26d93)
 + clone: drop period from end of die_errno message
 + clone: initialize atexit cleanup handler earlier

 An failure early in the "git clone" that started creating the
 working tree and repository could have resulted in some directories
 and files left without getting cleaned up.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jk/fetch-pack (2015-03-19) 4 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-23 at 4357f3d)
 + fetch-pack: remove dead assignment to ref->new_sha1
 + fetch_refs_via_pack: free extra copy of refs
 + filter_ref: make a copy of extra "sought" entries
 + filter_ref: avoid overwriting ref->old_sha1 with garbage

 "git fetch" that fetches a commit using the allow-tip-sha1-in-want
 extension could have failed to fetch all the requested refs.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jk/prune-with-corrupt-refs (2015-03-20) 5 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-23 at 68af8a9)
 + refs.c: drop curate_packed_refs
 + repack: turn on "ref paranoia" when doing a destructive repack
 + prune: turn on ref_paranoia flag
 + refs: introduce a "ref paranoia" flag
 + t5312: test object deletion code paths in a corrupted repository

 "git prune" used to largely ignore broken refs when deciding which
 objects are still being used, which could spread an existing small
 damage and make it a larger one.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jk/simplify-csum-file-sha1fd-check (2015-03-19) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-20 at 6f6d1c2)

 Code simplification.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* mh/numparse (2015-03-19) 14 commits
 - diff_opt_parse(): use convert_i() when handling --abbrev=<num>
 - diff_opt_parse(): use convert_i() when handling "-l<num>"
 - opt_arg(): simplify pointer handling
 - opt_arg(): report errors parsing option values
 - opt_arg(): use convert_i() in implementation
 - opt_arg(): val is always non-NULL
 - builtin_diff(): detect errors when parsing --unified argument
 - handle_revision_opt(): use convert_ui() when handling "--abbrev="
 - strtoul_ui(), strtol_i(): remove functions
 - handle_revision_opt(): use convert_i() when handling "-<digit>"
 - handle_revision_opt(): use skip_prefix() in many places
 - write_subdirectory(): use convert_ui() for parsing mode
 - cacheinfo_callback(): use convert_ui() when handling "--cacheinfo"
 - numparse: new module for parsing integral numbers

 Many codepaths use unchecked use of strtol() and friends (or even
 worse, atoi()).  Introduce a set of wrappers that try to be more
 careful.


* tf/gitweb-project-listing (2015-03-19) 5 commits
 - gitweb: make category headings into links when they are directories
 - gitweb: optionally set project category from its pathname
 - gitweb: add a link under the search box to clear a project filter
 - gitweb: if the PATH_INFO is incomplete, use it as a project_filter
 - gitweb: fix typo in man page

* ws/grep-quiet-no-pager (2015-03-19) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-20 at b3f5fe6)
 + grep: fix "--quiet" overwriting current output

 Even though "git grep --quiet" is run merely to ask for the exit
 status, we spawned the pager regardless.  Stop doing that.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* kd/rev-list-bisect-first-parent (2015-03-19) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-20 at 5477bf5)
 + rev-list: refuse --first-parent combined with --bisect

 "git rev-list --bisect --first-parent" does not work (yet) and can
 even cause SEGV; forbid it.  "git log --bisect --first-parent"
 would not be useful until "git bisect --first-parent" materializes,
 so it is also forbidden for now.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* jk/test-chain-lint (2015-03-22) 28 commits
 - t6039: fix broken && chain
 - t9158, t9161: fix broken &&-chain in git-svn tests

 - t: use test_might_fail for diff and grep
 - t: fix &&-chaining issues around setup which might fail
 - t: use test_must_fail instead of hand-rolled blocks

 - t: assume test_cmp produces verbose output
 - t: fix trivial &&-chain breakage
 - t: fix moderate &&-chain breakage
 - t: fix severe &&-chain breakage
 - t/test-lib: introduce --chain-lint option

 People often forget to chain the commands in their test together
 with &&, leaving a failure from an earlier command in the test go
 unnoticed.  The new GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT mechanism allows you to
 catch such a mistake more easily.

 What I queued here has fix to the issue J6t found in 15/25 squashed
 in, and also has 26/25 and 27/25 follow-up fixes from Michael, plus
 28/25 follow-up from Torsten.  If everybody involved is happy with
 it, we can just proceed with this copy, otherwise I'll let Peff
 reroll.  I am happy either way.

* jc/a-lone-dash-stands-for-previous-branch (2015-03-16) 1 commit
 - "-" and "@{-1}" on various programs

 Lose special case code to make a lone dash "-" mean the previous
 branch aka "@{-1}" from a handful subcommands, and instead support
 the notation throughout the system by reimplementing it at the
 revisions layer.

 Needs tests, documentation updates, etc.  Also does only a half-way
 job dealing with range notation, which needs to be fixed before the
 series goes anywhere.


* jc/submitting-patches-mention-send-email (2015-03-15) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-23 at a9581fd)
 + SubmittingPatches: encourage users to use format-patch and send-email

 patches to this project.

 Will merge to 'master'.


* as/userdiff-sh (2015-03-13) 1 commit
 - userdiff: funcname and word patterns for sh

 - archive.c: convert to use struct object_id
 - bisect.c: convert leaf functions to use struct object_id
 - define utility functions for object IDs
 - define a structure for object IDs

 Identify parts of the code that knows that we use SHA-1 hash to
 name our objects too much, and use (1) symbolic constants instead
 of hardcoded 20 as byte count and/or (2) use struct object_id
 instead of unsigned char [20] for object names.

* ct/prompt-untracked-fix (2015-03-15) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-20 at 0d57eaf)
 + git prompt: use toplevel to find untracked files

 The prompt script (in contrib/) did not show the untracked sign
 when working in a subdirectory without any untracked files.

* dj/log-graph-with-no-walk (2015-03-19) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2015-03-20 at cb636c0)
 + revision: forbid combining --graph and --no-walk

 "git log --graph --no-walk A B..." is a otcnflicting request that
 asks nonsense; no-walk tells us show discrete points in the
 history, while graph asks to draw connections between these
 discrete points. Forbid the combination.

 Will merge to 'master'.

 A new "git list-files" Porcelain command, "ls-files" with bells and
 whistles.

 Reroll to base on wt-status work ($gmane/265142) has seen some
 positive discussions. Waiting for a further polished reroll
 ($gmane/265534).


* js/fsck-opt (2015-01-21) 19 commits
 - fsck: support ignoring objects in `git fsck` via fsck.skiplist
 - fsck: git receive-pack: support excluding objects from fsck'ing
 - fsck: introduce `git fsck --quick`
 - fsck: support demoting errors to warnings
 - fsck: document the new receive.fsck.* options
 - fsck: allow upgrading fsck warnings to errors
 - fsck: optionally ignore specific fsck issues completely
 - fsck: disallow demoting grave fsck errors to warnings
 - fsck: add a simple test for receive.fsck.*
 - fsck: make fsck_tag() warn-friendly
 - fsck: handle multiple authors in commits specially
 - fsck: make fsck_commit() warn-friendly
 - fsck: make fsck_ident() warn-friendly
 - fsck: report the ID of the error/warning
 - fsck: allow demoting errors to warnings via receive.fsck.warn = <key>
 - fsck: offer a function to demote fsck errors to warnings
 - fsck: provide a function to parse fsck message IDs
 - fsck: introduce identifiers for fsck messages
 - fsck: introduce fsck options

 "fsck.warnings = <list of error tokens>" I suggested turned out to
 be an unpopular choice (sorry Dscho).

 Expecting a reroll.

I'll merge this to 'next' soonish, unless I hear otherwise.  I
double checked 15/25 (i.e. $feature{"forks"}{"default"} = [1];)
so I think we are in good shape.

Thanks.

Thanks, yeah, I think what you have queued is good.

Sorry, but I lost track.  Is this one still viable, or have we
decided that it is not worth doing it?

This has not seen any activity for a few months since $gmane/261483; 
is anybody still interested in resurrecting it?

This has been lingering in my 'pu' branch without seeing any updates
since $gmane/250758; is anybody still interested in resurrecting it
and moving it forward?

Thanks.

I've merged a few more topics to 'next' and hopefully will push the
result out in a few hours.

Some topics that are in 'next' but not in 'master' are high-impact
ones that I'd feel more comfortable if we cooked them there for a
bit more, and am planning to merge them (if there are no issues
discovered in the meantime, of course) after this cycle finishes,
but for others, I'm hoping to merge them to 'master' before we tag
the -rc0 preview release.

Please give them a good beating and report any regressions you find.

Thanks.

I can try to pick it up, but I am no longer sure that it is a good idea
to solve the problem.

In particular git does not require that paths (i.e. filesystem) use utf-8
encoding; it could use latin1 / iso-8859-1 and non-utf8 octet.

After re-reading the discussion thread, I had the same impression.
Let's drop the patch for now.  It can be re-raised as/if needed.

Thanks.

I actually thought this had been merged. I was happy enough with the v4
you linked above, though it looks like you had some minor-ish comments.
I do not personally have a big interest in it and wasn't planning
anything else on it. But if Peter is still interested, I think it is
close to ready, and I'd be happy to do another round of review.
