* send-email: quiet some warnings, reject invalid addressesEric Wong2006-05-151-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I'm not sure why we never actually rejected invalid addresses in the first place. We just seemed to be using our email validity checkers to kill duplicates. Now we just drop invalid email addresses completely and warn the user about it. Since we support local sendmail, we'll also accept username-only addresses.

* send-email: allow sendmail binary to be used instead of SMTPEric Wong2006-05-151-20/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This should make local mailing possible for machines without a connection to an SMTP server. It'll default to using /usr/sbin/sendmail or /usr/lib/sendmail if no SMTP server is specified (the default). If it can't find either of those paths, it'll fall back to connecting to an SMTP server on localhost. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Testing and feedback for correctness and completeness of all formats and support for additional formats would be good. Nested expansions are also supported. More than one alias file to be used. All alias file formats must still of be the same type, though. Two git repo-config keys are required for this (as suggested by Ryan Anderson): sendemail.aliasesfile = <filename of aliases file> sendemail.aliasfiletype = (mutt|gnus|pine|mailrc) Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <normalperson@yhbt.net> Acked-by: Ryan Anderson <ryan@michonline.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When renaming leading/a/filename to leading/b/filename (and "filename" is sufficiently long), we tried to squash the rename to "leading/{a => b}/filename". However, when "/a" or "/b" part is empty, we underflowed and tried to print a substring of length -1. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This ensures commits/updates etc work from any directory in the source tree. * Modified argsfromdir() so it is "always" called. This means that when the client specifies a directory, the method can detect this and behave accordingly (this is currently only implemented for the '.' directory) * Fixed "commit" method to correctly work from in a subdir

When reading the offset from the mmap'ed index in prepare_pack_revindex(), the address is dereferenced as a long*. This works fine as long as the long type is four bytes wide. On NetBSD/sparc64, however, a long is 8 bytes wide and so dereferencing the offset produces garbage.

For example, when calling git update-index ./hello.txt prefix_path() returns "hello.txt", but does not allocate a new buffer. The original code only checked if the result of prefix_path() was different from what was passed in, and thusly trigger a segmentation fault.

Keeping only the first one will allow for matching the longest string of identical bytes while subsequent blocks will only allow for shorter matches. The backward matching code will match the end of it as necessary. This improves both performances (no repeated string compare with long successions of identical bytes, or even small group of bytes), as well as compression (less likely to need random hash bucket entry culling), especially with sparse files. With well behaved data sets this patch doesn't change much. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage and postimage object name on the index line. This was good enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository (very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be available in such a case. However, this was not useful when the recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if the preimage was available. This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when operating under --full-index option. The binary patch follows the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this: "GIT binary patch\n" <length byte><data>"\n" ... "\n" Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ..., 'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...). <data> is 1 or more groups of 5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85 encoding. Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte, an output line is capped to 66 characters. The payload is the same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles. On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.
