This is a convenience wrapper to call tolower on each
character of the string.
This makes config's lowercase() function obsolete, though
note that because we have a strbuf, we are careful to
operate over the whole strbuf, rather than assuming that a
NUL is the end-of-string.
We could continue to offer a pure-string lowercase, but
there would be no callers (in most pure-string cases, we
actually duplicate and lowercase the duplicate, for which we
have the xstrdup_tolower wrapper).

strbuf_trim() strips whitespace from the end, then the beginning of
a strbuf. Those operations are duplicated in strbuf_rtrim() and
strbuf_ltrim().
Replace strbuf_trim() implementation with calls to strbuf_rtrim(),
then strbuf_ltrim().

prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() share the common "cmp" suffix that
typically are used to name functions that can be used for ordering,
but they can't, because they are not antisymmetric:
prefixcmp("foo", "foobar") < 0
prefixcmp("foobar", "foo") == 0
We in fact do not use these functions for ordering. Replace them
with functions that just check for equality.
Add starts_with() and end_with() that will be used to replace
prefixcmp() and suffixcmp(), respectively, as the first step. These
are named after corresponding functions/methods in programming
languages, like Java, Python and Ruby.
In vcs-svn/fast_export.c, there was already an ends_with() function
that did the same thing. Let's use the new one instead while at it.

Humanization of downloaded size is done in the same function as text
formatting in 'process.c'. The code cannot be reused easily elsewhere.
Separate text formatting from size simplification and make the
function public in strbuf so that it can easily be used by other
callers.
We now can use strbuf_humanise_bytes() for both downloaded size and
download speed calculation. One of the drawbacks is that speed will
now look like this when download is stalled: "0 bytes/s" instead of
"0 KiB/s".

Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message. Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.
The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users. They have a choice between
- Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and
- Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.
Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.
$ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit
so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.
[jc: although I started the topic, all the tests and documentation
updates, many of the call sites of the new strbuf_add_commented_*()
functions, and the change to git-submodule.sh scripted Porcelain are
from Ralf.]

The word "delimiter" suggests that the argument separates the
substrings, whereas in fact (1) the delimiter characters are included
in the output, and (2) if the input string ends with the delimiter,
then the output does not include a final empty string. So rename the
"delim" arguments of the strbuf_split() family of functions to
"terminator", which is more suggestive of how it is used.

While iterating, update str and slen to keep track of the part of the
string that hasn't been processed yet rather than computing things
relative to the start of the original string. This eliminates one
local variable, reduces the scope of another, and reduces the amount
of arithmetic needed within the loop.

strbuf_split_buf(). Rename "pos" to "nr" because it better describes
the use of the variable and it better conforms to the "ALLOC_GROW"
idiom.

added to the list, only add it once after all of the entries have been
added.

The current behavior is to return NULL when strbuf did not
actually allocate a string. This can be quite surprising to
callers, though, who may feed the strbuf from arbitrary data
and expect to always get a valid value.
In most cases, it does not make a difference because calling
any strbuf function will cause an allocation (even if the
function ends up not inserting any data). But if the code is
structured like:
struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
if (some_condition)
strbuf_addstr(&buf, some_string);
return strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL);
then you may or may not return NULL, depending on the
condition. This can cause us to segfault in http-push
(when fed an empty URL) and in http-backend (when an empty
parameter like "foo=bar&&" is in the $QUERY_STRING).
This patch forces strbuf_detach to allocate an empty
NUL-terminated string when it is called on a strbuf that has
not been allocated.
I investigated all call-sites of strbuf_detach. The majority
are either not affected by the change (because they call a
strbuf_* function unconditionally), or can handle the empty
string just as easily as NULL.

When a contributor asks the integrator to merge her history, a signed tag
can be a good vehicle to communicate the authenticity of the request while
conveying other information such as the purpose of the topic.
E.g. a signed tag "for-linus" can be created, and the integrator can run:
$ git pull git://example.com/work.git/ for-linus
This would allow the integrator to run "git verify-tag FETCH_HEAD" to
validate the signed tag.
Update fmt-merge-msg so that it pre-fills the merge message template with
the body (but not signature) of the tag object to help the integrator write
a better merge message, in the same spirit as the existing merge.log summary
lines.
The message that comes from GPG signature validation is also included in
the merge message template to help the integrator verify it, but they are
prefixed with "#" to make them comments.

This use of strbuf_grow() is a historical artifact that was once used to
ensure that strbuf.buf was allocated and properly nul-terminated. This
was added before the introduction of the slopbuf in b315c5c0, which
guarantees that strbuf.buf always points to a usable nul-terminated string.
So let's remove it.

strbuf_grow(): maintain nul-termination even for new buffer

In the case where sb is initialized to the slopbuf (through
strbuf_init(sb,0) or STRBUF_INIT), strbuf_grow() loses the terminating
nul: it grows the buffer, but gives ALLOC_GROW a NULL source to avoid
it being freed. So ALLOC_GROW does not copy anything to the new
memory area.
This subtly broke the call to strbuf_getline in read_next_command()
[fast-import.c:1855], which goes
strbuf_detach(&command_buf, NULL); # command_buf is now = STRBUF_INIT
stdin_eof = strbuf_getline(&command_buf, stdin, '\n');
if (stdin_eof)
return EOF;
In strbuf_getwholeline, this did
strbuf_grow(sb, 0); # loses nul-termination
if (feof(fp))
return EOF;
strbuf_reset(sb); # this would have nul-terminated!
Valgrind found this because fast-import subsequently uses prefixcmp()
on command_buf.buf, which after the EOF exit contains only
uninitialized memory.
Arguably strbuf_getwholeline is also broken, in that it touches the
buffer before deciding whether to do any work. However, it seems more
futureproof to not let the strbuf API lose the nul-termination by its
own fault.
So make sure that strbuf_grow() puts in a nul even if it has nowhere
to copy it from. This makes strbuf_grow(sb, 0) a semantic no-op as
far as readers of the buffer are concerned.
Also remove the nul-termination added by strbuf_init, which is made
redudant.

Sometimes when splitting, you only want a limited number of
fields, and for the final field to contain "everything
else", even if it includes the delimiter.
This patch introduces strbuf_split_max, which provides a
"max number of fields" parameter; it behaves similarly to
perl's "split" with a 3rd field.
The existing 2-argument form of strbuf_split is retained for
compatibility and ease-of-use.

In a variable-args function, the code for writing into a strbuf is
non-trivial. We ended up cutting and pasting it in several places
because there was no vprintf-style function for strbufs (which in turn
was held up by a lack of va_copy).
Now that we have a fallback va_copy, we can add strbuf_vaddf, the
strbuf equivalent of vsprintf. And we can clean up the cut and paste
mess.

The idiom (a + b < a) works fine for detecting that an unsigned
integer has overflowed, but a more explicit
unsigned_add_overflows(a, b)
might be easier to read.
Define such a macro, expanding roughly to ((a) < UINT_MAX - (b)).
Because the expansion uses each argument only once outside of sizeof()
expressions, it is safe to use with arguments that have side effects.

The current command line parser is overly lax in places and allows a
branch whose name begins with a hyphen e.g. "-foo" to be created, but the
parseopt infrastructure in general does not like to parse anything that
begins with a dash as a short-hand refname. "git checkout -foo" won't
work, nor will "git branch -d -foo" (even though "git branch -d -- -foo"
works, it does so by mistake; we should not be taking anything but
pathspecs after double-dash).
All the codepaths that create a new branch ref, including the destination
of "branch -m src dst", use strbuf_check_branch_ref() to validate if the
given name is suitable as a branch name. Tighten it to disallow a branch
that begins with a hyphen.
You can still get rid of historical mistakes with
$ git update-ref -d refs/heads/-foo
and third-party Porcelains are free to keep using update-ref to create
refs with a path component that begins with "-".

The only way to safely quote arbitrary text in a pretty-print user
format is to replace instances of "%" with "%x25". This is slightly
unreadable, and many users would expect "%%" to produce a single
"%", as that is what printf format specifiers do.
This patch converts "%%" to "%" for all users of strbuf_expand():
(1) git-daemon interpolated paths
(2) pretty-print user formats
(3) merge driver command lines
Case (1) was already doing the conversion itself outside of
strbuf_expand(). Case (2) is the intended beneficiary of this patch.
Case (3) users probably won't notice, but as this is user-facing
behavior, consistently providing the quoting mechanism makes sense.

This allows a common calling sequence
strbuf_branchname(&ref, name);
strbuf_splice(&ref, 0, 0, "refs/heads/", 11);
if (check_ref_format(ref.buf))
die(...);
to be refactored into
if (strbuf_check_branch_ref(&ref, name))
die(...);

The function takes a user-supplied string that is supposed to be a branch
name, and puts it in a strbuf after expanding possible shorthand notation.
A handful of open coded sequence to do this in the existing code have been
changed to use this helper function.

It can be less object code and may be even faster, even if at the
moment there is no callers to take an advantage of that. This
implementation can be trivially made inlinable later.

Make all strbuf functions that can fail free() their memory on error if
they have allocated it. They don't shrink buffers that have been grown,
though.
This allows for easier error handling, as callers only need to call
strbuf_release() if A) the command succeeded or B) if they would have had
to do so anyway because they added something to the strbuf themselves.
Bonus hunk: document strbuf_readlink.

It was already what 'git apply' did in read_old_data(), just export it
as a real function, and make it be more generic.
In particular, this handles the case of the lstat() st_size data not
matching the readlink() return value properly (which apparently happens
at least on NTFS under Linux). But as a result of this you could also
use the new function without even knowing how big the link is going to
be, and it will allocate an appropriately sized buffer.
So we pass in the st_size of the link as just a hint, rather than a
fixed requirement.
