The tempfile (hence its user lockfile) API lets the caller to open a file descriptor to a temporary file, write into it and then finalize it by first closing the filehandle and then either removing or renaming the temporary file. When the process spawns a subprocess after obtaining the file descriptor, and if the subprocess has not exited when the attempt to remove or rename is made, the last step fails on Windows, because the subprocess has the file descriptor still open. Open tempfile with O_CLOEXEC flag to avoid this (on Windows, this is mapped to O_NOINHERIT). * bw/mingw-avoid-inheriting-fd-to-lockfile: mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit index.lock handles

On Windows, help.browser configuration variable used to be ignored, which has been corrected. * js/no-html-bypass-on-windows: Revert "display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell API"

Merge branch 'jk/common-main' into maint

2016-09-09T04:35:51Z

There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git" potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to make it harder to make mistakes. * jk/common-main: mingw: declare main()'s argv as const common-main: call git_setup_gettext() common-main: call restore_sigpipe_to_default() common-main: call sanitize_stdfds() common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path() add an extra level of indirection to main()

compat: move strdup(3) replacement to its own file

2016-09-07T17:41:45Z

Move our implementation of strdup(3) out of compat/nedmalloc/ and allow it to be used independently from USE_NED_ALLOCATOR. The original nedmalloc doesn't come with strdup() and doesn't need it. Only _users_ of nedmalloc need it, which was added when we imported it to our compat/ hierarchy. This reduces the difference of our copy of nedmalloc from the original, making it easier to update, and allows for easier testing and reusing of our version of strdup().

mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes

2016-08-23T16:09:55Z

When the index is locked and child processes inherit the handle to said lock and the parent process wants to remove the lock before the child process exits, on Windows there is a problem: it won't work because files cannot be deleted if a process holds a handle on them. The symptom: Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed. Should I try again? (y/n) Spawning child processes with bInheritHandles==FALSE would not work because no file handles would be inherited, not even the hStdXxx handles in STARTUPINFO (stdin/stdout/stderr). Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work, either, as e.g. git-upload-pack expects inherited file handles. This leaves us with the only way out: creating temp files with the O_NOINHERIT flag. This flag is Windows-specific, however. For our purposes, it is equivalent to O_CLOEXEC (which does not exist on Windows), so let's just open temporary files with the O_CLOEXEC flag and map that flag to O_NOINHERIT on Windows. As Eric Wong pointed out, we need to be careful to handle the case where the Linux headers used to compile Git support O_CLOEXEC but the Linux kernel used to run Git does not: it returns an EINVAL. This fixes the test that we just introduced to demonstrate the problem. Signed-off-by: Ben Wijen Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Revert "display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell API"

2016-08-19T20:47:28Z

Since 4804aab (help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell API, 2008-07-13), Git for Windows used to call `ShellExecute()` to launch the default Windows handler for `.html` files. The idea was to avoid going through a shell script, for performance reasons. However, this change ignores the `help.browser` config setting. Together with browsing help not being a performance-critical operation, let's just revert that patch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'js/nedmalloc-gcc6-warnings' into maint

2016-08-10T18:55:31Z

Squelch compiler warnings for netmalloc (in compat/) library. * js/nedmalloc-gcc6-warnings: nedmalloc: work around overzealous GCC 6 warning nedmalloc: fix misleading indentation

Merge branch 'ew/daemon-socket-keepalive' into maint

2016-08-08T21:21:37Z

Recent update to "git daemon" tries to enable the socket-level KEEPALIVE, but when it is spawned via inetd, the standard input file descriptor may not necessarily be connected to a socket. Suppress an ENOTSOCK error from setsockopt(). * ew/daemon-socket-keepalive: Windows: add missing definition of ENOTSOCK daemon: ignore ENOTSOCK from setsockopt

nedmalloc: work around overzealous GCC 6 warning

2016-08-05T22:37:47Z

With GCC 6, the strdup() function is declared with the "nonnull" attribute, stating that it is not allowed to pass a NULL value as parameter. In nedmalloc()'s reimplementation of strdup(), Postel's Law is heeded and NULL parameters are handled gracefully. GCC 6 complains about that now because it thinks that NULL cannot be passed to strdup() anyway. Because the callers in this project of strdup() must be prepared to call any implementation of strdup() supplied by the platform, so it is pointless to pretend that it is OK to call it with NULL. Remove the conditional based on NULL-ness of the input; this squelches the warning. Check the return value of malloc() instead to make sure we actually got the memory to write to. See https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/porting_to.html for details. Diagnosed-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: René Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
