argv-array: add detach function

2016-02-22T22:50:32Z

The usual pattern for an argv array is to initialize it, push in some strings, and then clear it when done. Very occasionally, though, we must do other exotic things with the memory, like freeing the list but keeping the strings. Let's provide a detach function so that callers can make use of our API to build up the array, and then take ownership of it. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'rs/daemon-plug-child-leak'

2015-11-03T23:13:12Z

"git daemon" uses "run_command()" without "finish_command()", so it needs to release resources itself, which it forgot to do. * rs/daemon-plug-child-leak: daemon: plug memory leak run-command: factor out child_process_clear()

run-command: factor out child_process_clear()

2015-11-02T23:01:00Z

Avoid duplication by moving the code to release allocated memory for arguments and environment to its own function, child_process_clear(). Export it to provide a counterpart to child_process_init(). Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'jc/em-dash-in-doc'

2015-10-29T20:59:16Z

AsciiDoc markup fixes. * jc/em-dash-in-doc: Documentation: AsciiDoc spells em-dash as double-dashes, not triple

Merge branch 'jk/repository-extension'

2015-10-26T22:55:25Z

Prepare for Git on-disk repository representation to undergo backward incompatible changes by introducing a new repository format version "1", with an extension mechanism. * jk/repository-extension: introduce "preciousObjects" repository extension introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversion

Documentation: AsciiDoc spells em-dash as double-dashes, not triple

2015-10-22T20:02:33Z

Again, we do not usually process release notes with AsciiDoc, but it is better to be consistent. This incidentally reveals breakages left by an ancient 5e00439f (Documentation: build html for all files in technical and howto, 2012-10-23). The index-format documentation was originally written to be read as straight text without formatting and when the commit forced everything in Documentation/ to go through AsciiDoc, it did not do any adjustment--hence the double-dashes will be seen in the resulting text that is rendered as preformatted fixed-width without converted into em-dashes.

pack-protocol: clarify LF-handling in PKT-LINE()

2015-09-03T22:18:12Z

The spec is very inconsistent about which PKT-LINE() parts of the grammar include a LF. On top of that, the code is not consistent, either (e.g., send-pack does not put newlines into the ref-update commands it sends). Let's make explicit the long-standing expectation that we generally expect pkt-lines to end in a newline, but that receivers should be lenient. This makes the spec consistent, and matches what git already does (though it does not always fulfill the SHOULD). We do make an exception for the push-cert, where the receiving code is currently a bit pickier. This is a reasonable way to be, as the data needs to be byte-for-byte compatible with what was signed. We _could_ make up some rules about signing a canonicalized version including newlines, but that would require a code change, and is out of scope for this patch.

Merge branch 'hv/submodule-config'

2015-08-31T22:38:52Z

The gitmodules API accessed from the C code learned to cache stuff lazily. * hv/submodule-config: submodule: allow erroneous values for the fetchRecurseSubmodules option submodule: use new config API for worktree configurations submodule: extract functions for config set and lookup submodule: implement a config API for lookup of .gitmodules values

Merge branch 'mh/tempfile'

2015-08-25T21:57:09Z

The "lockfile" API has been rebuilt on top of a new "tempfile" API. * mh/tempfile: credential-cache--daemon: use tempfile module credential-cache--daemon: delete socket from main() gc: use tempfile module to handle gc.pid file lock_repo_for_gc(): compute the path to "gc.pid" only once diff: use tempfile module setup_temporary_shallow(): use tempfile module write_shared_index(): use tempfile module register_tempfile(): new function to handle an existing temporary file tempfile: add several functions for creating temporary files prepare_tempfile_object(): new function, extracted from create_tempfile() tempfile: a new module for handling temporary files commit_lock_file(): use get_locked_file_path() lockfile: add accessor get_lock_file_path() lockfile: add accessors get_lock_file_fd() and get_lock_file_fp() create_bundle(): duplicate file descriptor to avoid closing it twice lockfile: move documentation to lockfile.h and lockfile.c

submodule: use new config API for worktree configurations

2015-08-19T18:43:10Z

We remove the extracted functions and directly parse into and read out of the cache. This allows us to have one unified way of accessing submodule configuration values specific to single submodules. Regardless whether we need to access a configuration from history or from the worktree.
