Git-merge-file is documented to return one of three exit codes: - zero means the merge was successful - a negative number means an error occurred - a positive number indicates the number of conflicts Unfortunately, this all gets stuffed into an 8-bit return code. Which means that if you have 256 conflicts, this wraps to zero, and the merge appears to succeed (and commits a blob full of conflict-marker cruft!). This patch clamps the return value to a maximum of 127, which we should be able to safely represent everywhere. This also leaves 128-255 for other values. Shells (and some parts of git) will typically represent signal death as 128 plus the signal number. And negative values are typically coerced to an 8-bit unsigned value (so "return -1" ends up as 255). Technically negative returns have the same problem (e.g., "-256" wraps back to 0), but this is not a problem in practice, as the only negative value we use is "-1".

We generally want to avoid lookup_unknown_object, because it results in allocating more memory for the object than may be strictly necessary. In this case, it is used to check whether we have an already-parsed object before calling parse_object, to save us from reading the object from disk. Using lookup_object would be fine for that purpose, but we can take it a step further. Since this code was written, parse_object already learned the "check lookup_object" optimization, so we can simply call parse_object directly.

The "struct object" type implements basic object polymorphism. Individual instances are allocated as concrete types (or as a union type that can store any object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real type after examining its "type" enum. This means it is dangerous to have a type field that does not match the allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob" to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the allocated memory). In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its type field by passing it to create_object. However, the virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever get their type set. This does not seem to have caused problems in practice, though (presumably because we always pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at the type). We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the object allocation functions. This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index number.

Use xmemdupz() to allocate the memory, copy the data and make sure to NUL-terminate the result, all in one step. The resulting code is shorter, doesn't contain the constants 1 and '\0', and avoids duplicating function parameters. For blame, the last copied byte (o->file.ptr[o->file.size]) is always set to NUL by fake_working_tree_commit() or read_sha1_file(), so no information is lost by the conversion to using xmemdupz().

Use xcalloc() instead of xmalloc() followed by memset() to allocate and zero out memory because it's shorter and avoids duplicating the function parameters. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
"git clone -b brefs/tags/bar" would have mistakenly thought we were following a single tag, even though it was a name of the branch, because it incorrectly used strstr(). * jc/fix-clone-single-starting-at-a-tag: builtin/clone.c: detect a clone starting at a tag correctly
A handful of code paths had to read the commit object more than once when showing header fields that are usually not parsed. The internal data structure to keep track of the contents of the commit object has been updated to reduce the need for this double-reading, and to allow the caller find the length of the object. * jk/commit-buffer-length: reuse cached commit buffer when parsing signatures commit: record buffer length in cache commit: convert commit->buffer to a slab commit-slab: provide a static initializer use get_commit_buffer everywhere convert logmsg_reencode to get_commit_buffer use get_commit_buffer to avoid duplicate code use get_cached_commit_buffer where appropriate provide helpers to access the commit buffer provide a helper to set the commit buffer provide a helper to free commit buffer sequencer: use logmsg_reencode in get_message logmsg_reencode: return const buffer do not create "struct commit" with xcalloc commit: push commit_index update into alloc_commit_node alloc: include any-object allocations in alloc_report replace dangerous uses of strbuf_attach commit_tree: take a pointer/len pair rather than a const strbuf
