unpack-trees: take care to propagate the split-index flag
When copying the `split_index` structure from one index structure to
another, we need to propagate the `SPLIT_INDEX_ORDERED` flag, too, if it
is set, otherwise Git might forget to write the shared index when that
is actually needed.
It just so _happens_ that in many instances when `unpack_trees()` is
called, the result causes the shared index to be written anyway, but
there are edge cases when that is not so.

As of e636a7b4d030 (read-cache: be specific what part of the index has
changed, 2014-06-13), the paradigm `cache_changed = 1` fell out of
fashion and it became a bit field instead.
This is important because some bits have specific meaning and should not
be unset without care, e.g. `SPLIT_INDEX_ORDERED`.
However, b5a816975206 (mark_fsmonitor_valid(): mark the index as changed
if needed, 2019-05-24) did use the `cache_changed` attribute as if it
were a Boolean instead of a bit field.
That not only would override the `SPLIT_INDEX_ORDERED` bit when marking
index entries as valid via the FSMonitor, but worse: it would set the
`SOMETHING_OTHER` bit (whose value is 1). This means that Git would
unnecessarily force a full index to be written out when a split index
was asked for.
Let's instead use the bit that is specifically intended to indicate
FSMonitor-triggered changes, allowing the split-index feature to work as
designed.

split-index; stop abusing the `base_oid` to strip the "link" extension
When a split-index is in effect, the `$GIT_DIR/index` file needs to
contain a "link" extension that contains all the information about the
split-index, including the information about the shared index.
However, in some cases Git needs to suppress writing that "link"
extension (i.e. to fall back to writing a full index) even if the
in-memory index structure _has_ a `split_index` configured. This is the
case e.g. when "too many not shared" index entries exist.
In such instances, the current code sets the `base_oid` field of said
`split_index` structure to all-zero to indicate that `do_write_index()`
should skip writing the "link" extension.
This can lead to problems later on, when the in-memory index is still
used to perform other operations and eventually wants to write a
split-index, detects the presence of the `split_index` and reuses that,
too (under the assumption that it has been initialized correctly and
still has a non-null `base_oid`).
Let's stop zeroing out the `base_oid` to indicate that the "link"
extension should not be written.
One might be tempted to simply call `discard_split_index()` instead,
under the assumption that Git decided to write a non-split index and
therefore the `split_index` structure might no longer be wanted.
However, that is not possible because that would release index entries
in `split_index->base` that are likely to still be in use. Therefore we
cannot do that.
The next best thing we _can_ do is to introduce a bit field to indicate
specifically which index extensions (not) to write. So that's what we do
here.

This commit adds a new test case that demonstrates a bug in the
split-index code that is triggered under certain circumstances when the
FSMonitor is enabled, and its symptom manifests in the form of one of
the following error messages:
BUG: fsmonitor.c:20: fsmonitor_dirty has more entries than the index (2 > 1)
BUG: unpack-trees.c:776: pos <n> doesn't point to the first entry of <dir>/ in index
error: invalid path ''
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by reset:
initial.t
Which of these error messages appears depends on timing-dependent
conditions.
Technically the root cause lies with a bug in the split-index code that
has nothing to do with FSMonitor, but for the sake of this new test case
it was the easiest way to trigger the bug.
The bug is this: Under specific conditions, Git needs to skip writing
the "link" extension (which is the index extension containing the
information pertaining to the split-index). To do that, the `base_oid`
attribute of the `split_index` structure in the in-memory index is
zeroed out, and `do_write_index()` specifically checks for a "null"
`base_oid` to understand that the "link" extension should not be
written. However, this violates the consistency of the in-memory index
structure, but that does not cause problems in most cases because the
process exits without using the in-memory index structure anymore,
anyway.
But: _When_ the in-memory index is still used (which is the case e.g. in
`git rebase`), subsequent writes of `the_index` are at risk of writing
out a bogus index file, one that _should_ have a "link" extension but
does not. In many cases, the `SPLIT_INDEX_ORDERED` flag _happens_ to be
set for subsequent writes, forcing the shared index to be written, which
re-initializes `base_oid` to a non-bogus state, and all is good.
When it is _not_ set, however, all kinds of mayhem ensue, resulting in
above-mentioned error messages, and often enough putting worktrees in a
totally broken state where the only recourse is to manually delete the
`index` and the `index.lock` files and then call `git reset` manually.
Not something to ask users to do.
The reason why it is comparatively easy to trigger the bug with
FSMonitor is that there is _another_ bug in the FSMonitor code:
`mark_fsmonitor_valid()` sets `cache_changed` to 1, i.e. treating that
variable as a Boolean. But it is a bit field, and 1 happens to be the
`SOMETHING_CHANGED` bit that forces the "link" extension to be skipped
when writing the index, among other things.
"Comparatively easy" is a relative term in this context, for sure. The
essence of how the new test case triggers the bug is as following:
1. The `git rebase` invocation will first reset the worktree to
a commit that contains only the `one.t` file, and then execute a
rebase script that starts with the following commands (commit hashes
skipped):
label onto
reset initial
pick two
label two
reset two
pick three
[...]
2. Before executing the `label` command, a split index is written, as
well as the shared index.
3. The `reset initial` command in the rebase script writes out a new
split index but skips writing the shared index, as intended.
4. The `pick two` command updates the worktree and refreshes the index,
marking the `two.t` entry as valid via the FSMonitor, which sets the
`SOMETHING_CHANGED` bit in `cache_changed`, which in turn causes the
`base_oid` attribute to be zeroed out and a full (non-split) index
to be written (making sure _not_ to write the "link" extension).
5. Now, the `reset two` command will leave the worktree alone, but
still write out a new split index, not writing the shared index
(because `base_oid` is still zeroed out, and there is no index entry
update requiring it to be written, either).
6. When it is turn to run `pick three`, the index is read, but it is
too short: It only contains a single entry when there should be two,
because the "link" extension is missing from the written-out index
file.
There are three bugs at play, actually, which will be fixed over the
course of the next commits:
- The `base_oid` attribute should not be zeroed out to indicate when
the "link" extension should not be written, as it puts the in-memory
index structure into an inconsistent state.
- The FSMonitor should not overwrite bits in `cache_changed`.
- The `unpack_trees()` function tries to reuse the `split_index`
structure from the source index, if any, but does not propagate the
`SPLIT_INDEX_ORDERED` flag.
While a fix for the second bug would let this test case pass, there are
other conditions where the `SOMETHING_CHANGED` bit is set. Therefore,
the bug that most crucially needs to be fixed is the first one.

blame: allow --contents to work with non-HEAD commit
The --contents option can be used with git blame to blame the file as if
it had the contents from the specified file. This is akin to copying the
contents into the working tree and then running git blame. This option
has been supported since 1cfe77333f27 ("git-blame: no rev means start
from the working tree file.")
The --contents option always blames the file as if it was based on the
current HEAD commit. If you try to pass a revision while using
--contents, you get the following error:
fatal: cannot use --contents with final commit object name
This is because the blame process generates a fake working tree commit
which always uses the HEAD object as its sole parent.
Enhance fake_working_tree_commit to take the object ID to use for the
parent instead of always using the HEAD object. Then, always generate a
fake commit when we have contents provided, even if we have a final
object. Remove the check to disallow --contents and a final revision.
Note that the behavior of generating a fake working commit is still
skipped when a revision is provided but --contents is not provided.
Generating such a commit in that case would combine the currently
checked out file contents with the provided revision, which breaks
normal blame behavior and produces unexpected results.
This enables use of --contents with an arbitrary revision, rather than
forcing the use of the local HEAD commit. This makes the --contents
option significantly more flexible, as it is no longer required to check
out the working tree to the desired commit before using --contents.
Reword the documentation so that its clear that --contents can be used
with <rev>.

When we handle an --anonymize-map option, we parse the orig/anon pair,

generator function that duplicates the "anon" string to be cached in the

This works, because anonymize_str() says "ah, there is no mapping yet
for orig; I'll add one from the generator". But there are some
downsides:
1. It's a bit too clever, as it's not obvious what the code is trying
to do or why it works.
2. It requires allowing generator functions to take an extra void
pointer, which is not something any of the normal callers of
anonymize_str() want.
3. It does the wrong thing if the same token is provided twice.
When there are conflicting options, like:
we usually let the second one override the first. But by using

doc: remove GNU troff workaround
In 2007 the docbook project made the mistake of converting ' to \' for
man pages [1]. It's a problem because groff interprets \' as acute
accent which is rendered as ' in ASCII, but as ´ in utf-8.
This started a cascade of bug reports in git [2], debian [3], Arch Linux
[4], docbook itself [5], and probably many others.
A solution was to use the correct groff character: \(aq, which is always
rendered as ', but the problem is that such character doesn't work in
other troff programs.
A portable solution required the use of a conditional character that is
\(aq in groff, but ' in all others:
.ie \n(.g .ds Aq \(aq
.el .ds Aq '
The proper solution took time to be implemented in docbook, but in 2010
they did it [6]. So the docbook man page stylesheets were broken from
1.73 to 1.76.
Unfortunately by that point many workarounds already existed. In the
case of git, GNU_ROFF was introduced, and in the case of Arch Linux
a mapping from \' to ' was added to groff's man.local. Other
distributions might have done the same, or similar workarounds.
Since 2010 there is no need for this workaround, which is fixed
elsewhere, not just in docbook, but other layers as well.

git-compat-util: use gettimeofday(2) for time(2)
Use gettimeofday instead of time(NULL) to get current time.
This avoids clock skew on glibc 2.31+ on Linux, where in the
first 1 to 2.5 ms of every second, time(NULL) returns a
value that is one less than the tv_sec part of
higher-resolution timestamps such as those returned by
gettimeofday or timespec_get, or those in the file system.
There are similar clock skew problems on AIX and MS-Windows,
which have problems in the first 5 ms of every second.
Without this patch, users can observe Git issuing a
timestamp T+1 before it issues timestamp T, because Git
sometimes uses time(NULL) or time(&t) and sometimes uses
higher-res methods like gettimeofday. Although strictly
speaking users should tolerate this behavior because a
superuser can always change the clock back, this is a
quality of implementation issue and users naturally expect
Git to issue timestamps in increasing order unless the
superuser has fiddled with the system clock.
This patch always uses gettimeofday(...) instead of time(...),
and I have verified that the resulting .o files never refer
to the name 'time'. A trickier patch would change only
those calls for which timestamp monotonicity is user-visible.
Such a patch would require more expertise about Git internals,
though, and would be harder to maintain later.
Another possibility would be to change Git's documentation
to warn users that Git does not always issue timestamps in
increasing order. However, Git users would likely be either
dismayed by this possibility, or confused by the level of
detail that any such documentation would require.
Yet another possibility would be to fix the Linux kernel so
that the time syscall is consistent with the other timestamp
syscalls. I suppose this has not been done due to
performance implications. (Git's use of timestamps is rare
enough that performance is not a significant consideration
for git.) However, this wouldn't fix Git's problem on older
Linux kernels, or on AIX or MS-Windows.

wildmatch: fix exponential behavior
When dowild() cannot match a '*' or '/**/' wildcard then it must return
WM_ABORT_TO_STARSTAR or WM_ABORT_ALL respectively. Failure to observe
this results in unnecessary backtracking and the time taken for a failed
match increases exponentially with the number of wildcards in the
pattern [1]. Unfortunately in some instances dowild() returns WM_NOMATCH
for a failed match resulting in long match times for patterns containing
multiple wildcards as can be seen in the following benchmark.
(Note that the timings in the Benchmark 1 are really measuring the time
to execute test-tool rather than the time to match the pattern)
Benchmark 1: t/helper/test-tool wildmatch wildmatch aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab "*a"
Time (mean ± σ): 22.8 ms ± 1.7 ms [User: 12.1 ms, System: 10.6 ms]
Range (min … max): 19.4 ms … 26.9 ms 113 runs
Warning: Ignoring non-zero exit code.
Benchmark 2: t/helper/test-tool wildmatch wildmatch aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaab "*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a*a"
Time (mean ± σ): 5.244 s ± 0.228 s [User: 5.229 s, System: 0.010 s]
Range (min … max): 4.969 s … 5.707 s 10 runs
The security implications are limited as it only affects operations that
are potentially DoS vectors. For example by creating a blob containing
such a pattern a malicious user can exploit this behavior to use large
amounts of CPU time on a remote server by pushing the blob and then
creating a new clone with --filter=sparse:oid. However this filter type
is usually disabled as it is known to consume large amounts of CPU time
even without this bug.
The WM_MATCH changed in the first hunk of this patch comes from the
original implementation imported from rsync in 5230f605e1 (Import
wildmatch from rsync, 2012-10-15). Compared to the others converted here
it is fairly harmless as it only triggers at the end of the pattern and
so will only cause a single unnecessary backtrack. The others introduced
by 6f1a31f0aa (wildmatch: advance faster in <asterisk> + <literal>
patterns, 2013-01-01) and 46983441ae (wildmatch: make a special case for
"*/" with FNM_PATHNAME, 2013-01-01) are more pernicious and will cause
exponential behavior.

git_connect(): fix corner cases in downgrading v2 to v0
There's code in git_connect() that checks whether we are doing a push
with protocol_v2, and if so, drops us to protocol_v0 (since we know
how to do v2 only for fetches). But it misses some corner cases:
1. it checks the "prog" variable, which is actually the path to
receive-pack on the remote side. By default this is just
"git-receive-pack", but it could be an arbitrary string (like
"/path/to/git receive-pack", etc). We'd accidentally stay in v2
mode in this case.
2. besides "receive-pack" and "upload-pack", there's one other value
we'd expect: "upload-archive" for handling "git archive --remote".
Like receive-pack, this doesn't understand v2, and should use the
v0 protocol.
In practice, neither of these causes bugs in the real world so far. We
do send a "we understand v2" probe to the server, but since no server
implements v2 for anything but upload-pack, it's simply ignored. But
this would eventually become a problem if we do implement v2 for those
endpoints, as older clients would falsely claim to understand it,
leading to a server response they can't parse.
We can fix (1) by passing in both the program path and the "name" of the
operation. I treat the name as a string here, because that's the pattern
set in transport_connect(), which is one of our callers (we were simply
throwing away the "name" value there before).
We can fix (2) by allowing only known-v2 protocols ("upload-pack"),
rather than blocking unknown ones ("receive-pack" and "upload-archive").
That will mean whoever eventually implements v2 push will have to adjust
this list, but that's reasonable. We'll do the safe, conservative thing
(sticking to v0) by default, and anybody working on v2 will quickly
realize this spot needs to be updated.
The new tests cover the receive-pack and upload-archive cases above, and
re-confirm that we allow v2 with an arbitrary "--upload-pack" path (that
already worked before this patch, of course, but it would be an easy
thing to break if we flipped the allow/block logic without also handling
"name" separately).
Here are a few miscellaneous implementation notes, since I had to do a
little head-scratching to understand who calls what:
- transport_connect() is called only for git-upload-archive. For
non-http git remotes, that resolves to the virtual connect_git()
function (which then calls git_connect(); confused yet?). So
plumbing through "name" in connect_git() covers that.
- for regular fetches and pushes, callers use higher-level functions
like transport_fetch_refs(). For non-http git remotes, that means
calling git_connect() under the hood via connect_setup(). And that
uses the "for_push" flag to decide which name to use.
- likewise, plumbing like fetch-pack and send-pack may call
git_connect() directly; they each know which name to use.
- for remote helpers (including http), we already have separate
parameters for "name" and "exec" (another name for "prog"). In
process_connect_service(), we feed the "name" to the helper via
"connect" or "stateless-connect" directives.
There's also a "servpath" option, which can be used to tell the
helper about the "exec" path. But no helpers we implement support
it! For http it would be useless anyway (no reasonable server
implementation will allow you to send a shell command to run the
server). In theory it would be useful for more obscure helpers like
remote-ext, but even there it is not implemented.
It's tempting to get rid of it simply to reduce confusion, but we
have publicly documented it since it was added in fa8c097cc9
(Support remote helpers implementing smart transports, 2009-12-09),
so it's possible some helper in the wild is using it.
- So for v2, helpers (again, including http) are mainly used via
stateless-connect, driven by the main program. But they do still
need to decide whether to do a v2 probe. And so there's similar
logic in remote-curl.c's discover_refs() that looks for
"git-receive-pack". But it's not buggy in the same way. Since it
doesn't support servpath, it is always dealing with a "service"
string like "git-receive-pack". And since it doesn't support
straight "connect", it can't be used for "upload-archive".
So we could leave that spot alone. But I've updated it here to match
the logic we're changing in connect_git(). That seems like the least
confusing thing for somebody who has to touch both of these spots
later (say, to add v2 push support). I didn't add a new test to make
sure this doesn't break anything; we already have several tests (in
t5551 and elsewhere) that make sure we are using v2 over http.
