setup: notice more types of implicit bare repositories
Setting the safe.bareRepository configuration variable to explicit
stops git from using a bare repository, unless the repository is
explicitly specified, either by the "--git-dir=<path>" command line
option, or by exporting $GIT_DIR environment variable. This may be
a reasonable measure to safeguard users from accidentally straying
into a bare repository in unexpected places, but often gets in the
way of users who need valid accesses to the repository.
Earlier, 45bb9162 (setup: allow cwd=.git w/ bareRepository=explicit,
2024-01-20) loosened the rule such that being inside the ".git"
directory of a non-bare repository does not really count as
accessing a "bare" repository. The reason why such a loosening is
needed is because often hooks and third-party tools run from within
$GIT_DIR while working with a non-bare repository.
More importantly, the reason why this is safe is because a directory
whose contents look like that of a "bare" repository cannot be a
bare repository that came embedded within a checkout of a malicious
project, as long as its directory name is ".git", because ".git" is
not a name allowed for a directory in payload.
There are at least two other cases where tools have to work in a
bare-repository looking directory that is not an embedded bare
repository, and accesses to them are still not allowed by the recent
change.
- A secondary worktree (whose name is $name) has its $GIT_DIR
inside "worktrees/$name/" subdirectory of the $GIT_DIR of the
primary worktree of the same repository.
- A submodule worktree (whose name is $name) has its $GIT_DIR
inside "modules/$name/" subdirectory of the $GIT_DIR of its
superproject.
As long as the primary worktree or the superproject in these cases
are not bare, the pathname of these "looks like bare but not really"
directories will have "/.git/worktrees/" and "/.git/modules/" as a
substring in its leading part, and we can take advantage of the same
security guarantee allow git to work from these places.
Extend the earlier "in a directory called '.git' we are OK" logic
used for the primary worktree to also cover the secondary worktree's
and non-embedded submodule's $GIT_DIR, by moving the logic to a
helper function "is_implicit_bare_repo()". We deliberately exclude
secondary worktrees and submodules of a bare repository, as these
are exactly what safe.bareRepository=explicit setting is designed to
forbid accesses to without an explicit GIT_DIR/--git-dir=<path>

reftable/block: fix binary search over restart counter
Records store their keys prefix-compressed. As many records will share a
common prefix (e.g. "refs/heads/"), this can end up saving quite a bit
of disk space. The downside of this is that it is not possible to just
seek into the middle of a block and consume the corresponding record
because it may depend on prefixes read from preceding records.
To help with this usecase, the reftable format writes every n'th record
without using prefix compression, which is called a "restart". The list
of restarts is stored at the end of each block so that a reader can
figure out entry points at which to read a full record without having to
read all preceding records.
This allows us to do a binary search over the records in a block when
searching for a particular key by iterating through the restarts until
we have found the section in which our record must be located. From
thereon we perform a linear search to locate the desired record.
This mechanism is broken though. In `block_reader_seek()` we call
`binsearch()` over the count of restarts in the current block. The
function we pass to compare records with each other computes the key at
the current index and then compares it to our search key by calling
`strbuf_cmp()`, returning its result directly. But `binsearch()` expects
us to return a truish value that indicates whether the current index is
smaller than the searched-for key. And unless our key exactly matches
the value at the restart counter we always end up returning a truish
value.
The consequence is that `binsearch()` essentially always returns 0,
indicacting to us that we must start searching right at the beginning of
the block. This works by chance because we now always do a linear scan
from the start of the block, and thus we would still end up finding the
desired record. But needless to say, this makes the optimization quite
useless.
Fix this bug by returning whether the current key is smaller than the
searched key. As the current behaviour was correct it is not possible to
write a test. Furthermore it is also not really possible to demonstrate
in a benchmark that this fix speeds up seeking records.
This may cause the reader to question whether this binary search makes
sense in the first place if it doesn't even help with performance. But
it would end up helping if we were to read a reftable with a much larger
block size. Blocks can be up to 16MB in size, in which case it will
become much more important to avoid the linear scan. We are not yet
ready to read or write such larger blocks though, so we have to live
without a benchmark demonstrating this.

reftable/record: fix memory leak when decoding object records
When decoding records it is customary to reuse a `struct
reftable_ref_record` across calls. Thus, it may happen that the record
already holds some allocated memory. When decoding ref and log records
we handle this by releasing or reallocating held memory. But we fail to
do this for object records, which causes us to leak memory.
Fix this memory leak by releasing object records before we decode into
them. We may eventually want to reuse memory instead to avoid needless
reallocations. But for now, let's just plug the leak and be done.

wt-status: don't find scissors line beyond buf len
If
(a) There is a "---" divider in a commit message,
(b) At some point beyond that divider, there is a cut-line (that is,
"# ------------------------ >8 ------------------------") in the
commit message,
(c) the user does not explicitly set the "no-divider" option,
then "git interpret-trailers" will hang indefinitively.
This is because when (a) is true, find_end_of_log_message() will invoke
ignored_log_message_bytes() with a len that is intended to make it
ignore the part of the commit message beyond the divider. However,
ignored_log_message_bytes() calls wt_status_locate_end(), and that
function ignores the length restriction when it tries to locate the cut
line. If it manages to find one, the returned cutoff value is greater
than len. At this point, ignored_log_message_bytes() goes into an
infinite loop, because it won't advance the string parsing beyond len,
but the exit condition expects to reach cutoff.
Make wt_status_locate_end() honor the length parameter passed in, to
fix this issue.
In general, if wt_status_locate_end() is given a piece of the memory
that lacks NUL at all, strstr() may continue across page boundaries
and run into an unmapped page. For our current callers, this is not
a problem, as all of them except one uses a memory owned by a strbuf
(which guarantees an implicit NUL-termination after its payload),
and the one exception in trailer.c:find_end_of_log_message() uses
strlen() to compute the length before calling this function.

In general, rewrite entries to the following form:
1. Clause or sentence describing when the advice is shown
2. Optional “to <verb>” clause which says what the advice is
about (e.g. for resetNoRefresh: tell the user that they can use
`--no-refresh`)
Concretely:
1. Use “shown” instead of “advice shown”
• “advice” is implied and a bit repetitive
2. Use “when” instead of “if”
3. Lead with “Shown when” and end the entry with the effect it has,
where applicable
4. Use “the user” instead of “a user” or “you”
5. implicitIdentity: rewrite description in order to lead with *when*
the advice is shown (see point (3))
6. Prefer the present tense (with the exception of pushNonFFMatching)
7. waitingForEditor: give example of relevance in this new context
8. pushUpdateRejected: exception to the above principles

Some tests use a preliminary heredoc for `expect` or have setup and
teardown commands before and after, respectively. It is however
preferred to keep all the logic in the test itself. Let’s move these
into the tests.
Also:
• Remove a now-irrelevant comment about test placement and switch back
to `main` post-test
• Prefer indented literal heredocs (`-\EOF`) except for a block which
says that this is intentional

d3b3419f8f2 (config: tell the user that we expect an ASCII character,
2023-03-27) updated an error message to make clear that this option
specifically wants an ASCII character but neglected to consider the
config documentation.

Merge branch 'kn/for-all-refs'
"git for-each-ref" learned "--include-root-refs" option to show
even the stuff outside the 'refs/' hierarchy.
* kn/for-all-refs:
for-each-ref: add new option to include root refs
ref-filter: rename 'FILTER_REFS_ALL' to 'FILTER_REFS_REGULAR'
refs: introduce `refs_for_each_include_root_refs()`
refs: extract out `loose_fill_ref_dir_regular_file()`
refs: introduce `is_pseudoref()` and `is_headref()`
When a merge conflicted at a submodule, merge-ort backend used to
unconditionally give a lengthy message to suggest how to resolve
it. Now the message can be squelched as an advice message.
* pb/ort-make-submodule-conflict-message-an-advice:
merge-ort: turn submodule conflict suggestions into an advice
