9d22778 (read-cache.c: write prefix-compressed names in the index -

diff-options: unconfuse description of --color

It said "by default it is off" while it also said "the default is
always", which confused everybody who read it only once.  It wanted
to say (1) if you do not say --color, it is not enabled, and (2) if
you say --color but do not say when to enable it, it will always be
enabled".

Rephrase to clarify by using "default" only once.

Revert "graph.c: mark private file-scope symbols as static"

This reverts commit ba35480439d05b8f6cca50527072194fe3278bbb.

CGit uses these symbols to output the correct HTML around graph
elements.  Making these symbols private means that CGit cannot be
updated to use Git 1.8.0 or newer, so let's not do that.

On top of the revert, also add comments so that we avoid reintroducing
this problem in the future and suggest to those modifying this API
that they might want to discuss it with the CGit developers.

bundle: Fix "verify" output if history is complete

A more informative message for "complete" bundles was added in commit
8c3710fd3011 (tweak "bundle verify" of a complete history, 2012-06-04).

However, the prerequisites ref list is currently read *after* we
check if it equals zero, which means we never actually use the
number of prerequisite refs to decide when to print the newly
introduced message.  The code incorrectly uses the number of
references recorded in the bundle instead.

drop some obsolete "x = x" compiler warning hacks

In cases where the setting and access of a variable are
protected by the same conditional flag, older versions of
gcc would generate a "might be used unitialized" warning. We
silence the warning by initializing the variable to itself,
a hack that gcc recognizes.

Modern versions of gcc are smart enough to get this right,
going back to at least version 4.3.5. gcc 4.1 does get it
wrong in both cases, but is sufficiently old that we
probably don't need to care about it anymore.

transport: drop "int cmp = cmp" hack

According to 47ec794, this initialization is meant to
squelch an erroneous uninitialized variable warning from gcc
4.0.1.  That version is quite old at this point, and gcc 4.1
and up handle it fine, with one exception. There seems to be
a regression in gcc 4.6.3, which produces the warning;
however, gcc versions 4.4.7 and 4.7.2 do not.

run-command: always set failed_errno in start_command

When we fail to fork, we set the failed_errno variable to
the value of errno so it is not clobbered by later syscalls.
However, we do so in a conditional, and it is hard to see
later under what conditions the variable has a valid value.

Instead of setting it only when fork fails, let's just
always set it after forking. This is more obvious for human
readers (as we are no longer setting it as a side effect of
a strerror call), and it is more obvious to gcc, which no
longer generates a spurious -Wuninitialized warning. It also
happens to match what the WIN32 half of the #ifdef does.

fast-import: clarify "inline" logic in file_change_m

When we read a fast-import line like:

  M 100644 :1 foo.c

we point the local object_entry variable "oe" to the object
named by the mark ":1". When the input uses the "inline"
construct, however, we do not have such an object_entry.

The current code is careful not to access "oe" in the inline
case, but we can make the assumption even more obvious (and
catch violations of it) by setting oe to NULL and adding a
comment. As a bonus, this also squelches an over-zealous gcc
-Wuninitialized warning, which means we can drop the "oe =
oe" initialization hack.

wt-status: fix possible use of uninitialized variable

In wt_status_print_change_data, we accept a change_type flag
that is meant to be either WT_STATUS_UPDATED or
WT_STATUS_CHANGED.  We then switch() on this value to set
the local variable "status" for each case, but do not
provide a fallback "default" label to the switch statement.

As a result, the compiler realizes that "status" might be
unset, and complains with a warning. To silence this
warning, we use the "int status = status" trick.  This is
correct with the current code, as all callers provide one of
the two expected change_type flags. However, it's also a
maintenance trap, as there is nothing to prevent future
callers from passing another flag, nor to document this
assumption.

Instead of using the "x = x" hack, let's handle the default
case in the switch() statement with a die("BUG"). That tells
the compiler and any readers of the code exactly what the
function's input assumptions are.

We could also convert the flag to an enum, which would
provide a compile-time check on the function input. However,
since these flags are part of a larger enum, that would make
the code unnecessarily complex (we would have to make a new
enum with just the two flags, and then convert it to the old
enum for passing to sub-functions).
