chore(3p/git): Unvendor git and track patches instead r/2903
This was vendored a long time ago under the expectation that keeping it in sync with cgit would be easier this way, but it has proven not to be a big issue. On the other hand, a vendored copy of git is an annoying maintenance burden. It is much easier to rebase the single (dottime) patch that we have. This removes the vendored copy of git and instead passes the git source code to cgit via `pkgs.srcOnly`, which includes the applied patch so that cgit can continue rendering dottime.

This caused patches that had pathnames in no other - places to be mistakenly rejected (most notably, binary patch that - does not rename nor change mode). Textual patches, renames or mode - changes have preimage and postimage pathnames in different places - in a form that can be parsed unambiguously and did not suffer from - this problem. - - * "git cherry-pick A C B" used to replay changes in A and then B and - then C if these three commits had committer timestamps in that - order, which is not what the user who said "A C B" naturally - expects. - - * "git commit --amend" let the user edit the log message and then - died when the human-readable committer name was given - insufficiently by getpwent(3). - - * Some capabilities were asked by fetch-pack even when upload-pack - did not advertise that they are available. fetch-pack has been - fixed not to do so. - - * "git diff" had a confusion between taking data from a path in the - working tree and taking data from an object that happens to have - name 0{40} recorded in a tree. - - * "git for-each-ref" did not correctly support more than one --sort - option. - - * "git log .." errored out saying it is both rev range and a path - when there is no disambiguating "--" is on the command line. - Update the command line parser to interpret ".." as a path in such - a case. - - * The "--topo-order", "--date-order" (and the lack of either means - the default order) options to "rev-list" and "log" family of - commands were poorly described in the documentation. - - * "git prune" without "-v" used to warn about leftover temporary - files (which is an indication of an earlier aborted operation). - - * Pushing to smart HTTP server with recent Git fails without having - the username in the URL to force authentication, if the server is - configured to allow GET anonymously, while requiring authentication - for POST. - - * The reflog entries left by "git rebase" and "git rebase -i" were - inconsistent (the interactive one gave an abbreviated object name). - - * When "git push" triggered the automatic gc on the receiving end, a - message from "git prune" that said it was removing cruft leaked to - the standard output, breaking the communication protocol. - - * "git show --quiet" ought to be a synonym for "git show -s", but - wasn't. - - * "git show --format='%ci'" did not give timestamp correctly for - commits created without human readable name on "committer" line. - - * "git send-email" did not unquote encoded words that appear on the - header correctly, and lost "_" from strings. - - * The interactive prompt "git send-email" gives was error prone. It - asked "What e-mail address do you want to use?" with the address it - guessed (correctly) the user would want to use in its prompt, - tempting the user to say "y". But the response was taken as "No, - please use 'y' as the e-mail address instead", which is most - certainly not what the user meant. - - * "gitweb" when used with PATH_INFO failed to notice directories with - SP (and other characters that need URL-style quoting) in them. - - * When the user gives an argument that can be taken as both a - revision name and a pathname without disambiguating with "--", we - used to give a help message "Use '--' to separate". The message - has been clarified to show where that '--' goes on the command - line. - - * When the user exports a non-default IFS without HT, scripts that - rely on being able to parse "ls-files -s | while read a b c..." - started to fail. Protect them from such a misconfiguration. - - * The attribute system may be asked for a path that itself or its - leading directories no longer exists in the working tree, and it is - fine if we cannot open .gitattribute file in such a case. Failure - to open per-directory .gitattributes with error status other than - ENOENT and ENOTDIR should be diagnosed, but it wasn't. - - * After "gitk" showed the contents of a tag, neither "Reread - references" nor "Reload" did not update what is shown as the - contents of it, when the user overwrote the tag with "git tag -f". - - * "ciabot" script (in contrib/) has been updated with extensive - documentation. - - * "git-jump" script (in contrib/) did not work well when - diff.noprefix or diff.mnemonicprefix is in effect. - - * Older parts of the documentation described as if having a regular - file in .git/refs/ hierarchy were the only way to have branches and - tags, which is not true for quite some time. - - * A utility shell function test_seq has been added as a replacement - for the 'seq' utility found on some platforms. - - * Compatibility wrapper to learn the maximum number of file - descriptors we can open around sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX) and - getrlimit(RLIMIT_NO_FILE) has been introduced for portability. - - * We used curl_easy_strerror() without checking version of cURL, - breaking the build for versions before curl 7.12.0. - - * Code to work around MacOS X UTF-8 gotcha has been cleaned up. - - * Fallback 'getpass' implementation made unportable use of stdio API. - - * The "--rebase" option to "git pull" can be abbreviated to "-r", - but we didn't document it. - - * It was generally understood that "--long-option"s to many of our - subcommands can be abbreviated to the unique prefix, but it was not - easy to find it described for new readers of the documentation set. - - * The synopsis said "checkout [-B branch]" to make it clear the - branch name is a parameter to the option, but the heading for the - option description was "-B::", not "-B branch::", making the - documentation misleading. - -Also contains numerous documentation updates. |
