"git grep" did not quote a path with unusual character like other
commands (like "git diff", "git status") do, but did quote when run
from a subdirectory, both of which has been corrected.
* mt/grep-cquote-path:
grep: follow conventions for printing paths w/ unusual chars
|
|
grep does not follow the conventions used by other Git commands when
printing paths that contain unusual characters (as double-quotes or
newlines). Commands such as ls-files, commit, status and diff will:
- Quote and escape unusual pathnames, by default.
- Print names verbatim and unquoted when "-z" is used.
But grep *never* quotes/escapes absolute paths with unusual chars and
*always* quotes/escapes relative ones, even with "-z". Besides being
inconsistent in its own output, the deviation from other Git commands
can be confusing. So let's make it follow the two rules above and add
some tests for this new behavior. Note that, making grep quote/escape
all unusual paths by default, also make it fully compliant with the
core.quotePath configuration, which is currently ignored for absolute
paths.

The documentation refers to "initialized" or "populated" submodules,
to explain which submodules are affected by '--recurse-submodules', but
the real terminology here is 'active' submodules. Update the
documentation accordingly.
Some terminology:
- Active is defined in gitsubmodules(7), it only involves the
configuration variables 'submodule.active', 'submodule.<name>.active'
and 'submodule.<name>.url'. The function
submodule.c::is_submodule_active checks that a submodule is active.
- Populated means that the submodule's working tree is present (and the
gitfile correctly points to the submodule repository), i.e. either the
superproject was cloned with ` --recurse-submodules`, or the user ran
`git submodule update --init`, or `git submodule init [<path>]` and
`git submodule update [<path>]` separately which populated the
submodule working tree. This does not involve the 3 configuration
variables above.
- Initialized (at least in the context of the man pages involved in this
patch) means both "populated" and "active" as defined above, i.e. what
`git submodule update --init` does.
The --recurse-submodules option mostly affects active submodules. An
exception is `git fetch` where the option affects populated submodules.
As a consequence, in `git pull --recurse-submodules` the fetch affects
populated submodules, but the resulting working tree update only affects
active submodules.
In the documentation of `git-pull`, let's distinguish between the
fetching part which affects populated submodules, and the updating of
worktrees, which only affects active submodules.

Traditionally, we avoided threaded grep while searching in objects
(as opposed to files in the working tree) as accesses to the object
layer is not thread-safe. This limitation is getting lifted.
* mt/threaded-grep-in-object-store:
grep: use no. of cores as the default no. of threads
grep: move driver pre-load out of critical section
grep: re-enable threads in non-worktree case
grep: protect packed_git [re-]initialization
grep: allow submodule functions to run in parallel
submodule-config: add skip_if_read option to repo_read_gitmodules()
grep: replace grep_read_mutex by internal obj read lock
object-store: allow threaded access to object reading
replace-object: make replace operations thread-safe
grep: fix racy calls in grep_objects()
grep: fix race conditions at grep_submodule()
grep: fix race conditions on userdiff calls

Since grep learned to recurse into submodules in 0281e487fd
(grep: optionally recurse into submodules, 2016-12-16),
using --recurse-submodules along with --no-index makes Git
die().
This is unfortunate because if submodule.recurse is set in a user's
~/.gitconfig, invoking `git grep --no-index` either inside or outside
a Git repository results in
fatal: option not supported with --recurse-submodules
Let's allow using these options together, so that setting submodule.recurse
globally does not prevent using `git grep --no-index`.
Using `--recurse-submodules` should not have any effect if `--no-index`
is used inside a repository, as Git will recurse into the checked out
submodule directories just like into regular directories.

When --threads is not specified, git-grep will use 8 threads by default.
This fixed number may be too many for machines with fewer cores and too
little for machines with more cores. So, instead, use the number of
logical cores available in the machine, which seems to result in the
best overall performance: The following measurements correspond to the
mean elapsed times for 30 git-grep executions in chromium's
repository[1] with a 95% confidence interval (each set of 30 were
performed after 2 warmup runs). Regex 1 is 'abcd[02]' and Regex 2 is
'(static|extern) (int|double) \*'.

They were disabled at 53b8d93 ("grep: disable threading in non-worktree
case", 12-12-2011), due to observable performance drops (to the point
that using a single thread would be faster than multiple threads). But
now that zlib inflation can be performed in parallel we can regain the
speedup, so let's re-enable threads in non-worktree grep.
Grepping 'abcd[02]' ("Regex 1") and '(static|extern) (int|double) \*'
("Regex 2") at chromium's repository[1] I got:
Threads | Regex 1 | Regex 2
---------|------------|-----------
1 | 17.2920s | 20.9624s
2 | 9.6512s | 11.3184s
4 | 6.7723s | 7.6268s
8** | 6.2886s | 6.9843s
These are all means of 30 executions after 2 warmup runs. All tests were
executed on an i7-7700HQ (quad-core w/ hyper-threading), 16GB of RAM and
SSD, running Manjaro Linux. But to make sure the optimization also
performs well on HDD, the tests were repeated on another machine with an
i5-4210U (dual-core w/ hyper-threading), 8GB of RAM and HDD (SATA III,
5400 rpm), also running Manjaro Linux:
Threads | Regex 1 | Regex 2
---------|------------|-----------
1 | 18.4035s | 22.5368s
2 | 12.5063s | 14.6409s
4** | 10.9136s | 12.7106s
** Note that in these cases we relied on hyper-threading, and that's
probably why we don't see a big difference in time.
Unfortunately, multithreaded git-grep might be slow in the non-worktree
case when --textconv is used and there're too many text conversions.
Probably the reason for this is that the object read lock is used to
protect fill_textconv() and therefore there is a mutual exclusion
between textconv execution and object reading. Because both are
time-consuming operations, not being able to perform them in parallel
can cause performance drops. To inform the users about this (and other
threading details), let's also add a "NOTES ON THREADS" section to
Documentation/git-grep.txt.

The behavior of "grep" when patterns contained a NUL-byte has always
been haphazard, and has served the vagaries of the implementation more
than anything else. A pattern containing a NUL-byte can only be
provided via "-f <file>". Since pickaxe (log search) has no such flag
the NUL-byte in patterns has only ever been supported by "grep" (and
not "log --grep").
Since 9eceddeec6 ("Use kwset in grep", 2011-08-21) patterns containing
"\0" were considered fixed. In 966be95549 ("grep: add tests to fix
blind spots with \0 patterns", 2017-05-20) I added tests for this
behavior.
Change the behavior to do the obvious thing, i.e. don't silently
discard a regex pattern and make it implicitly fixed just because they
contain a NUL-byte. Instead die if the backend in question can't
handle them, e.g. --basic-regexp is combined with such a pattern.
This is desired because from a user's point of view it's the obvious
thing to do. Whether we support BRE/ERE/Perl syntax is different from
whether our implementation is limited by C-strings. These patterns are
obscure enough that I think this behavior change is OK, especially
since we never documented the old behavior.
Doing this also makes it easier to replace the kwset backend with
something else, since we'll no longer strictly need it for anything we
can't easily use another fixed-string backend for.

Recognize -r and --recursive as synonyms for --max-depth=-1 for
compatibility with GNU grep; it's still the default for git grep.
This also adds --no-recursive as synonym for --max-depth=0 for free,
which is welcome for completeness and consistency.
Fix the description for --max-depth, while we're at it -- negative
values other than -1 actually disable recursion, i.e. they are
equivalent to --max-depth=0.

Teach 'git grep --only-matching', a new option to only print the
matching part(s) of a line.
For instance, a line containing the following (taken from README.md:27):
(`man gitcvs-migration` or `git help cvs-migration` if git is
Is printed as follows:
$ git grep --line-number --column --only-matching -e git -- \
README.md | grep ":27"
README.md:27:7:git
README.md:27:16:git
README.md:27:38:git
The patch works mostly as one would expect, with the exception of a few
considerations that are worth mentioning here.
Like GNU grep, this patch ignores --only-matching when --invert (-v) is
given. There is a sensible answer here, but parity with the behavior of
other tools is preferred.
Because a line might contain more than one match, there are special
considerations pertaining to when to print line headers, newlines, and
how to increment the match column offset. The line header and newlines
are handled as a special case within the main loop to avoid polluting
the surrounding code with conditionals that have large blocks.

When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper
case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers
uppercase to keep it close to the final output.
This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's
a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers.
Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where
case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has
suggestions about this.
While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples
vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.

Add similar pointers from the git-add and git-status man pages.
Additionally,
- Add a test for the behaviour when multiple exclusions are present.
- Add a test for the ^ alias.
- Improve name of existing test.
- Improve grammar in glossary description of the exclude pathspec.

Stop promising in our grep & rev-list options documentation that we're
always going to be using libpcre when given the --perl-regexp option.
Instead talk about using "Perl-compatible regular expressions" and
using these types of patterns using "a compile-time dependency".
Saying "libpcre" means that we're talking about libpcre.so, which is
always going to be v1. This change is part of an ongoing saga to add
support for libpcre2, which comes with PCRE v2.
In the future we might use some completely unrelated library to
provide perl-compatible regular expression support. By wording the
documentation differently and not promising any specific version of
PCRE or even PCRE at all we have more wiggle room to change the
implementation.

Teach grep to recursively search in submodules when provided with a
<tree> object. This allows grep to search a submodule based on the state
of the submodule that is present in a commit of the super project.
When grep is provided with a <tree> object, the name of the object is
prefixed to all output. In order to provide uniformity of output
between the parent and child processes the option `--parent-basename`
has been added so that the child can preface all of it's output with the
name of the parent's object instead of the name of the commit SHA1 of
the submodule. This changes output from the command
`git grep -e. -l --recurse-submodules HEAD` from:
HEAD:file
<commit sha1 of submodule>:sub/file
to:
HEAD:file
HEAD:sub/file

Allow grep to recognize submodules and recursively search for patterns in
each submodule. This is done by forking off a process to recursively
call grep on each submodule. The top level --super-prefix option is
used to pass a path to the submodule which can in turn be used to
prepend to output or in pathspec matching logic.
Recursion only occurs for submodules which have been initialized and
checked out by the parent project. If a submodule hasn't been
initialized and checked out it is simply skipped.
In order to support the existing multi-threading infrastructure in grep,
output from each child process is captured in a strbuf so that it can be
later printed to the console in an ordered fashion.
To limit the number of theads that are created, each child process has
half the number of threads as its parents (minimum of 1), otherwise we
potentailly have a fork-bomb.

"git grep" by default does not fall back to its "--no-index"
behaviour outside a directory under Git's control (otherwise the
user may by mistake end up running a huge recursive search); with a
new configuration (set in $HOME/.gitconfig--by definition this
cannot be set in the config file per project), this safety can be
disabled.

Currently when git grep is used outside of a git repository without the
--no-index option git simply dies. For convenience, add a
grep.fallbackToNoIndex configuration variable. If set to true, git grep
behaves like git grep --no-index if it is run outside of a git
repository. It defaults to false, preserving the current behavior.

Improve the documentation of commands taking optional arguments in two
ways:
* Documents the behavior of '-O' (for grep) and '-S' (for commands
creating commits) when used without the optional argument.
* Document the syntax of these options.
For the second point, the behavior is documented in gitcli(7), but it is
easy for users to miss, and hard for the same user to understand why e.g.
"git status -u no" does not work.
Document this explicitly in the documentation of each short option having

Recently and not so recently, we made sure that log/grep type operations
use textconv filters when a userfacing diff would do the same:
ef90ab6 (pickaxe: use textconv for -S counting, 2012-10-28)
b1c2f57 (diff_grep: use textconv buffers for add/deleted files, 2012-10-28)
0508fe5 (combine-diff: respect textconv attributes, 2011-05-23)
"git grep" currently does not use textconv filters at all, that is
neither for displaying the match and context nor for the actual grepping,
even when requested by --textconv.
Introduce an option "--textconv" which makes git grep use any configured
textconv filters for grepping and output purposes. It is off by default.

The grep.extendedRegexp configuration setting enables the -E flag on grep
by default but there are no equivalents for the -G, -F and -P flags.
Rather than adding an additional setting for grep.fooRegexp for current
and future pattern matching options, add a grep.patternType setting that
can accept appropriate values for modifying the default grep pattern
matching behavior. The current values are "basic", "extended", "fixed",
"perl" and "default" for setting -G, -E, -F, -P and the default behavior
respectively.
When grep.patternType is set to a value other than "default", the
grep.extendedRegexp setting is ignored. The value of "default" restores
the current default behavior, including the grep.extendedRegexp
behavior.

"git grep -e '$pattern'", unlike the case where the patterns are read from
a file, did not treat individual lines in the given pattern argument as
separate regular expressions as it should.
|
|
Currently, patterns that contain newline characters don't match anything
when given to git grep. Regular grep(1) interprets patterns as lists of
newline separated search strings instead.
Implement this functionality by creating and inserting extra grep_pat
structures for patterns consisting of multiple lines when appending to
the pattern lists. For simplicity, all pattern strings are duplicated.

In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.
It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:
1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
of `master{tilde}1`.
2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
quoting.
This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).
Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:
- HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")
- some code examples used the right-arrow character
instead of '->' because they failed to quote
- api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
HTML contained a bogus snippet like:
<tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>
which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
sections of the page.
- git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)
- mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
author@example.com
- the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".
- using "prime" notation like:
commit `C` and its replacement `C'`
confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
to be inside matched quotes
- asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
asterisks. In particular,
`credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`
properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
literally passed through the backslash in the second
case.

In a working tree of a git managed repository, "grep --untracked" would
find the specified patterns from files in untracked files in addition to
its usual behaviour of finding them in the tracked files.
By default, when working with "--no-index" option, "grep" does not pay
attention to .gitignore mechanism. "grep --no-index --exclude-standard"
can be used to tell the command to use .gitignore and stop reporting hits
from files that would be ignored. Also, when working without "--no-index",
"grep" honors .gitignore mechanism, and "grep --no-exclude-standard" can
be used to tell the command to include hits from files that are ignored.

Many examples of git command invocation are given in asciidoc listing
blocks, which makes them monospaced and avoids further interpretation of
special characters. Some manpages make a list of examples, like:
git foo::
Run git foo.
git foo -q::
Use the "-q" option.
to quickly show many variants. However, they can sometimes be hard to
read, because they are shown in a proportional-width font (so, for
example, seeing the difference between "-- foo" and "--foo" can be
difficult).
This patch puts all such examples into backticks, which gives the
equivalent formatting to a listing block (i.e., monospaced and without
character interpretation).
As a bonus, this also fixes an example in the git-push manpage, in which
"git push origin :::" was accidentally considered a newly-indented list,
and not a list item with "git push origin :" in it.

Add a new option, -W, to show the whole surrounding function of a match.
It uses the same regular expressions as -p and diff to find the beginning
of sections.
Currently it will not display comments in front of a function, but those
that are following one. Despite this shortcoming it is already useful,
e.g. to simply see a more complete applicable context or to extract whole
functions.

With --heading, the filename is printed once before matches from that
file instead of at the start of each line, giving more screen space to
the actual search results.
This option is taken from ack (http://betterthangrep.com/). And now
git grep can dress up like it:
$ git config alias.ack "grep --break --heading --line-number"
$ git ack -e --heading

This patch teaches git-grep the --perl-regexp/-P options (naming
borrowed from GNU grep) in order to allow specifying PCRE regexes on the
command line.
PCRE has a number of features which make them more handy to use than
POSIX regexes, like consistent escaping rules, extended character
classes, ungreedy matching etc.
git isn't build with PCRE support automatically. USE_LIBPCRE environment
variable must be enabled (like `make USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease`).
