midx.c: make changing the preferred pack safe
The previous patch demonstrates a bug where a MIDX's auxiliary object
order can become out of sync with a MIDX bitmap.
This is because of two confounding factors:
- First, the object order is stored in a file which is named according
to the multi-pack index's checksum, and the MIDX does not store the
object order. This means that the object order can change without
altering the checksum.
- But the .rev file is moved into place with finalize_object_file(),
which link(2)'s the file into place instead of renaming it. For us,
that means that a modified .rev file will not be moved into place if
MIDX's checksum was unchanged.
This fix is to force the MIDX's checksum to change when the preferred
pack changes but the set of packs contained in the MIDX does not. In
other words, when the object order changes, the MIDX's checksum needs to
change with it (regardless of whether the MIDX is tracking the same or
different packs).
This prevents a race whereby changing the object order (but not the
packs themselves) enables a reader to see the new .rev file with the old
MIDX, or similarly seeing the new bitmap with the old object order.
But why can't we just stop hardlinking the .rev into place instead
adding additional data to the MIDX? Suppose that's what we did. Then
when we go to generate the new bitmap, we'll load the old MIDX bitmap,
along with the MIDX that it references. That's fine, since the new MIDX
isn't moved into place until after the new bitmap is generated. But the
new object order *has* been moved into place. So we'll read the old
bitmaps in the new order when generating the new bitmap file, meaning
that without this secondary change, bitmap generation itself would
become a victim of the race described here.
This can all be prevented by forcing the MIDX's checksum to change when
the object order does. By embedding the entire object order into the
MIDX, we do just that. That is, the MIDX's checksum will change in
response to any perturbation of the underlying object order. In t5326,
this will cause the MIDX's checksum to update (even without changing the
set of packs in the MIDX), preventing the stale read problem.
Note that this makes it safe to continue to link(2) the MIDX .rev file
into place, since it is now impossible to have a .rev file that is
out-of-sync with the MIDX whose checksum it references. (But we will do
away with MIDX .rev files later in this series anyway, so this is
somewhat of a moot point).
In theory, it is possible to store a "fingerprint" of the full object
order here, so long as that fingerprint changes at least as often as the
full object order does. Some possibilities here include storing the
identity of the preferred pack, along with the mtimes of the
non-preferred packs in a consistent order. But storing a limited part of
the information makes it difficult to reason about whether or not there
are gaps between the two that would cause us to get bitten by this bug
again.

t5326: demonstrate bitmap corruption after permutation
This patch demonstrates a cause of bitmap corruption that can occur when
the contents of the multi-pack index does not change, but the underlying
object order does.
In this example, we have a MIDX containing two packs, each with a
distinct set of objects (pack A corresponds to the tree, blob, and
commit from the first patch, and pack B corresponds to the second
patch).
First, a MIDX is written where the 'A' pack is preferred. As expected,
the bitmaps generated there are in-tact. But then, we generate an
identical MIDX with a different object order: this time preferring pack
'B'.
Due to a bug which will be explained and fixed in the following commit,
the MIDX is updated, but the .rev file is not, causing the .bitmap file
to be read incorrectly. Specifically, the .bitmap file will contain
correct data, but the auxiliary object order in the .rev file is stale,
causing readers to get confused by reading the new bitmaps using the old
object order.

However, for empty commits, "git apply" will

its length, or run diff again with "exit-code",

chainlint.sed: stop splitting "(..." into separate lines "(" and "..."
Because `sed` is line-oriented, for ease of implementation, when
chainlint.sed encounters an opening subshell in which the first command
is cuddled with the "(", it splits the line into two lines: one
containing only "(", and the other containing whatever follows "(".
This allows chainlint.sed to get by with a single set of regular
expressions for matching shell statements rather than having to
duplicate each expression (one set for matching non-cuddled statements,
and one set for matching cuddled statements).
However, although syntactically and semantically immaterial, this
transformation has no value to test authors and might even confuse them
into thinking that the linter is misbehaving by inserting (whitespace)
line-noise into the shell code it is validating. Moreover, it also
allows an implementation detail of chainlint.sed to seep into the
chainlint self-test "expect" files, which potentially makes it difficult
to reuse the self-tests should a more capable chainlint ever be
developed.
To address these concerns, stop splitting cuddled "(..." into two lines.
Note that, as an implementation artifact, due to sed's line-oriented
nature, this change inserts a blank line at output time just before the
"(..." line is emitted. It would be possible to suppress this blank line
but doing so would add a fair bit of complexity to chainlint.sed.
Therefore, rather than suppressing the extra blank line, the Makefile's
`check-chainlint` target which runs the chainlint self-tests is instead
modified to ignore blank lines when comparing chainlint output against
the self-test "expect" output. This is a reasonable compromise for two
reasons. First, the purpose of the chainlint self-tests is to verify
that the ?!AMP?! annotations are being correctly added; precise
whitespace is immaterial. Second, by necessity, chainlint.sed itself
already throws away all blank lines within subshells since, when
checking for a broken &&-chain, it needs to check the final _statement_
in a subshell, not the final _line_ (which might be blank), thus it has

chainlint.sed: swallow comments consistently
When checking for broken a &&-chain, chainlint.sed knows that the final
statement in a subshell should not end with `&&`, so it takes care to
make a distinction between the final line which is an actual statement
and any lines which may be mere comments preceding the closing ')'. As
such, it swallows comment lines so that they do not interfere with the
&&-chain check.
However, since `sed` does not provide any sort of real recursion,
chainlint.sed only checks &&-chains in subshells one level deep; it
doesn't do any checking in deeper subshells or in `{...}` blocks within
subshells. Furthermore, on account of potential implementation
complexity, it doesn't check &&-chains within `case` arms.
Due to an oversight, it also doesn't swallow comments inside deep
subshells, `{...}` blocks, or `case` statements, which makes its output
inconsistent (swallowing comments in some cases but not others).
Unfortunately, this inconsistency seeps into the chainlint self-test
"expect" files, which potentially makes it difficult to reuse the
self-tests should a more capable chainlint ever be developed. Therefore,
teach chainlint.sed to consistently swallow comments in all cases.

chainlint.sed: stop throwing away here-doc tags
The purpose of chainlint is to highlight problems it finds in test code

exactly what chainlint.sed does by cavalierly and unnecessarily dropping

chainlint.sed: drop unnecessary distinction between ?!AMP?! and ?!SEMI?!
>From inception, when chainlint.sed encountered a line using semicolon to
separate commands rather than `&&`, it would insert a ?!SEMI?!
annotation at the beginning of the line rather ?!AMP?! even though the
&&-chain is also broken by the semicolon. Given a line such as:
?!SEMI?! cmd1; cmd2 &&
the ?!SEMI?! annotation makes it easier to see what the problem is than
if the output had been:
?!AMP?! cmd1; cmd2 &&
which might confuse the test author into thinking that the linter is
broken (since the line clearly ends with `&&`).
However, now that the ?!AMP?! an ?!SEMI?! annotations are inserted at
the point of breakage rather than at the beginning of the line, and
taking into account that both represent a broken &&-chain, there is
little reason to distinguish between the two. Using ?!AMP?! alone is
sufficient to point the test author at the problem. For instance, in:
cmd1; ?!AMP?! cmd2 &&
cmd3
it is clear that the &&-chain is broken between `cmd1` and `cmd2`.
Likewise, in:
cmd1 && cmd2 ?!AMP?!
cmd3
it is clear that the &&-chain is broken between `cmd2` and `cmd3`.
Finally, in:
cmd1; ?!AMP?! cmd2 ?!AMP?!
cmd3
it is clear that the &&-chain is broken between each command.
Hence, there is no longer a good reason to make a distinction between a
broken &&-chain due to a semicolon and a broken chain due to a missing
`&&` at end-of-line. Therefore, drop the ?!SEMI?! annotation and use
?!AMP?! exclusively.

t9107: use shell parameter expansion to avoid breaking &&-chain
This test intentionally breaks the &&-chain when using `expr` to parse
"[<path>]:<ref>" since the pattern matching operation will return 1
(failure) when <path> is empty even though an empty <path> is legitimate
in this test and should not cause the test to fail. However, it is
possible to parse the input without breaking the &&-chain by using shell
parameter expansion (i.e. `${i%%...}`). Other ways to avoid the problem
would be `{ expr $i : ... ||:; }` or test_might_fail(), however,
parameter expansion seems simplest.
IMPLEMENTATION NOTE
The rewritten `if` expression:
if test "$ref" = "${ref#refs/remotes/}"`; then continue; fi
is perhaps a bit subtle. At first glance, it looks like it will
`continue` the loop if $ref starts with "refs/remotes/", but in fact
it's the opposite: the loop will `continue` if $ref does not start with
"refs/remotes/".
In the original, `expr` would only match if the ref started with
"refs/remotes/", and $ref would end up empty if it didn't, so `test -z`
would `continue` the loop if the ref did not start with "refs/remotes/".
With parameter expansion, ${ref#refs/remotes/} attempts to strip
"refs/remotes/" from $ref. If it fails, meaning that $ref does not start
with "refs/remotes/", then the expansion will just be $ref unchanged,
and it will `continue` the loop. On the other hand, if stripping
succeeds, meaning that $ref begins with "refs/remotes/", then the
expansion will be the value of $ref with "refs/remotes/" removed, hence
`continue` will not be taken.

t1010: fix unnoticed failure on Windows
On Microsoft Windows, a directory name should never end with a period.
Quoting from Microsoft documentation[1]:
Do not end a file or directory name with a space or a period.
Although the underlying file system may support such names, the
Windows shell and user interface does not.
Naming a directory with a trailing period is indeed perilous:
% git init foo
% cd foo
% mkdir a.
% git status
warning: could not open directory 'a./': No such file or directory
The t1010 "setup" test:
for d in a a. a0
do
mkdir "$d" && echo "$d/one" >"$d/one" &&
git add "$d"
done &&
runs afoul of this Windows limitation, as can be observed when running
the test verbosely:
error: open("a./one"): No such file or directory
error: unable to index file 'a./one'
fatal: adding files failed
The reason this problem has gone unnoticed for so long is twofold.
First, the failed `git add` is swallowed silently because the loop is
not terminated explicitly by `|| return 1` to signal the failure.
Second, none of the tests in this script care about the literal
directory names ("a", "a.", "a0") or the specific number of tree
entries. They care instead about the order of entries in the tree, and
that the tree synthesized in the index and created by `git write-tree`
matches the tree created by the output of `git ls-tree` fed into `git
mktree`, thus the absence of "a./one" has no impact on the tests.
Skipping these tests on Windows by, for instance, checking the
FUNNYNAMES predicate would avoid the problem, however, the funny-looking
name is not what is being tested here. Rather, the tests are about
checking that `git mktree` produces stable results for various input
conditions, such as when the input order is not consistent or when an
object is missing.
Therefore, resolve the problem simply by using a directory name which is
legal on Windows and sorts the same as "a.". While at it, add the
missing `|| return 1` to the loop body in order to catch this sort of
problem in the future.

Merge branch 'cb/add-p-single-key-fix'
The single-key-input mode in "git add -p" had some code to handle
keys that generate a sequence of input via ReadKey(), which did not
handle end-of-file correctly, which has been fixed.
* cb/add-p-single-key-fix:
add -p: avoid use of undefined $key when ReadKey -> EOF
