We're unlikely to provide the 'WINDOWS' prerequisite in our builds. Nor
are we likely to care about the tests which are skipped as a result.
(Also, 'missing WINDOWS' is not a phrase I thought I'd ever write.)
Remove all conditionals for EL-6; it is EOL as of November 2020.
Replace a number of `EL > 7` with `EL >= 8` to make the intention
clearer. The next version of RHEL is no longer shrouded in mystery.
Drop conditionals which apply only to long-obsolete Fedora releases.
All %defattr macros were removed in ff200ca (Remove obsolete %defattr,
2018-02-07). Two were subsequently added in f8a83b9 (Move instaweb to a
subpackage, 2018-09-06) and 9d91bab (split libsecret credential helper
into a subpackage (#1804741), 2020-02-19).
Remove both entries and (hopefully) avoid adding new entries in the
future.
The UTF8_NFD_TO_NFC prereq was added to t0021-conversion and
t2006-checkout-index-basic in upstream commit 684dd4c2b4 (checkout: fix
bug that makes checkout follow symlinks in leading path, 2020-12-10), to
test the fixes for CVE-2021-21300.
Fedora's supported systems do not appear to "convert decomposed utf-8
(nfd) to precomposed utf-8 (nfc)" which is what the prereq covers.
Ignore the skipped tests which use the UTF8_NFD_TO_NFC prereq when
looking for missing test dependencies and/or incorrectly skipped tests.
This release includes a fix for CVE-2021-21300¹ in addition to the other
changes along the path to the final 2.31.0 release.
Release notes:
https://github.com/git/git/raw/v2.31.0-rc2/Documentation/RelNotes/2.31.0.txt
¹ Per the 2.17.6 release notes on CVE-2021-21300:
On case-insensitive file systems with support for symbolic links, if
Git is configured globally to apply delay-capable clean/smudge
filters (such as Git LFS), Git could be fooled into running remote
code during a clone.
Use %{gpgverify} macro to verify tarball signature. The macro is now
available for all supported Fedora and EPEL releases. (It is presumed
that EL-9 will include %{gpgverify} as it will be branched from F-34.
If that turns out to be false, we will adjust later.)
The Packaging Guidelines require the use of the %{gpgverify} macro:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_verifying_signatures
Add a BuildRequires for xz as well, since we use it explicitly in %prep.
Renumber Junio's GPG key from Source9 to Source2 so the %{gpgverify}
calls follow the typical pattern. It (mildly) lessens cognitive load
for anyone reviewing the spec file.
While here, remove a stale comment about leaving a blank line after
%autosetup to work around a bug on EL6.
We disabled t7812's 'PCRE v2: grep non-ASCII from invalid UTF-8 data'
test in 33ecb78 (skip failing test in t7812-grep-icase-non-ascii on
s390x, 2019-10-24).
It was subsequently fixed upstream in e714b898c6 (t7812: expect failure
for grep -i with invalid UTF-8 data, 2019-11-29) and more recently
improved with a4fea08b6e (grep/pcre2 tests: don't rely on invalid UTF-8
data test, 2021-01-24).
Don't skip the test any longer.
The key used to sign git releases expired in July 2020. While this
doesn't strictly affect us because use gpgv to verify the releases
against a known key file, it is worth updating to make it clear that
we're using the correct signing key.
Refer to 7c95c76 (Update Junio's GPG key, 2017-09-16) for a previous
update of the key, including the process used.
Here is a diff of the key file before and after the update:

This thread on the git list is where the question was raised and Junio
confirmed he'd extended the expiration of his signing key:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/B6DFB74D-A722-4DBD-A4B2-562604B21CCB@alchemists.io/T/#u
Making the main package noarch is not trivial since we have
arch-specific subpackages. (I'm not sure it's even possible.)
As noted in 5c331b2 (fix/quiet rpmlint issues from libsecret split,
2020-04-05), when libsecret was split into a subpackage in 9d91bab
(split libsecret credential helper into a subpackage (#1804741),
2020-02-19), it removed the only remaining binary from the main package.
The `git difftool` command was converted to a builtin in git-2.12.0
(from 2017). We don't need to split it out of git-core.
This was missed in cb7fab7 (Move commands which no longer require perl
into git-core, 2017-11-10) and d56cfc6 (Use symlinks instead of
hardlinks for installed binaries, 2018-03-15). Better late than never.
We intend to support building on all supported Fedora and EPEL releases
from the Rawhide branch. On EL-7, the %build_cflags and %build_ldflags
macros are not present without installing epel-rpm-macros. Add a build
requirement to ensure these macros are available when building on EL-7.
A change in git-2.27.0¹ caused fast-import to leak memory and crash in
some cases. Apply the upstream fix², which didn't quite make it into
git-2.29.0.

A change in git-2.24.0¹ resulted in a segfault when combining the
incompatible (and nonsensical) --follow and -L git log options. (These
options were used by the GitLens plugin for VS Code until recently².)
The upstream fix returns an error when these options are combined rather
than a segfault.

Quoting from Jeff King's commit message:
Commit e8cbe2118a (am: stop exporting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE, 2020-08-17)
rewrote the code for setting the committer date to use fmt_ident(),
rather than setting an environment variable and letting commit_tree()
handle it. But it introduced two bugs:
- we use the author email string instead of the committer email
- when parsing the committer ident, we used the wrong variable to
compute the length of the email, resulting in it always being a
zero-length string
The regression affected both am and rebase. Apply the upstream fixes.

The update to 2.29.1 is pointless on its own¹, but a subsequent commit
will add some additional post-release fixes for 2.29. Once we're
pushing an update, we might as well pick up the latest point release to
avoid anyone wondering why we've skipped an update.
Release notes:
https://github.com/git/git/raw/v2.29.1/Documentation/RelNotes/2.29.1.txt
¹ The only change in 2.29.1 is a Makefile fix for users of the
non-default SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS installation option.
The hg-to-git.py script in contrib grew python3 support in upstream
commit d17ae00c97 (hg-to-git: make it compatible with both python3 and
python2, 2019-09-18), which was released in git-2.24.0. Move it from
the python2-only conditionals.
(This leaves contrib/fast-import/import-zips.py as the sole python
script which is _not_ python3-compatible. It seems to need only minimal
fixes for python2/python3 compatibility -- per some light testing.)
Since git-2.18.0, the emacs files shipped in git have been stub files
which merely point users to better options. Stop shipping these stubs
with Fedora 34 and later.
Drop the emacs BuildRequires on Fedora >= 34. Elsewhere, replace it
with emacs-common. We need macros.emacs for %{_emacs_sitelispdir}
anywhere we ship the stub .el files¹.
The full emacs BR _was_ necessary prior to git-2.18.0, as /usr/bin/emacs
was used to byte compile the .el files. It traces all the way back to
e46bac5 (Add emacs-git package from Ville (#235431), 2007-06-22).
¹ It might be nice if there were an emacs-rpm-macros for this. But
emacs-common is a lot lighter than emacs, so it's still a nice
improvement. Per `dnf install` in a current f33 container image:
$ dnf install emacs
...
Install 193 Packages
Total download size: 164 M
Installed size: 544 M
$ dnf install emacs-common
...
Install 7 Packages
Total download size: 36 M
Installed size: 89 M

Update git.skip-test-patterns to catch the 2GB clone test. The output
of the skipped test was changed (for the better) in upstream commit
d63ae31962 (t5608: avoid say() and use "skip_all" instead for
consistency, 2020-05-22).
