perf-lib: fix missing test titles in output
Commit 5dccd9155f (t/perf: add iteration setup mechanism to perf-lib,

the test title was no longer in $1, and is instead in $test_title_.
We correctly pass the new variable to the code which outputs the title
to the log, but missed the spot in test_wrapper() where the title is
written to the ".descr" file which is used to produce the final output
table. As a result, all of the titles are missing from that table (or
worse, using whatever was left in $1):

tests: add LIBCURL prerequisite to tests needing libcurl
Add and use a LIBCURL prerequisite for tests added in 6dcbdc0d661 (remote: create fetch.credentialsInUrl config,
2022-06-06).
These tests would get as far as emitting a couple of the warnings we
were testing for, but would then die as we had no "git-remote-https"
program compiled.
It would be more consistent with other prerequisites (e.g. PERL for
NO_PERL) to name this "CURL", but since e9184b0789a (t5561: skip tests
if curl is not available, 2018-04-03) we've had that prerequisite
defined for checking of we have the curl(1) program.
The existing "CURL" prerequisite is only used in one place, and we
should probably name it "CURL_PROGRAM", then rename "LIBCURL" to
"CURL" as a follow-up, but for now (pre-v2.37.0) let's aim for the
most minimal fix possible.

add -i tests: mark "TODO" depending on GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN
Fix an issue that existed before 0527ccb1b55 (add -i: default to the
built-in implementation, 2021-11-30), but which became the default
with that change, we should not be marking tests that are known to
pass as "TODO" tests.
When GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN=1 was made the default we started
passing the tests added in 0f0fba2cc87 (t3701: add a test for advanced
split-hunk editing, 2019-12-06) and 1bf01040f0c (add -p: demonstrate
failure when running 'edit' after a split, 2015-04-16).
Thus we've been emitting this sort of output:
$ prove ./t3701-add-interactive.sh
./t3701-add-interactive.sh .. ok
All tests successful.
Which isn't just cosmetic, but due to issues with
test_expect_failure (see [1]) we could e.g. be hiding something as bad
as a segfault in the new implementation. It makes sense catch that,
especially before we put out a release with the built-in "add -i", so
let's generalize the check we were already doing in 0527ccb1b55 with a
new "ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN" prerequisite.

run-command: don't spam trace2_child_exit()
In rare cases[1], wait_or_whine() cannot determine a child process's
status (and will return -1 in this case). This can cause Git to issue
trace2 child_exit events despite the fact that the child may still be
running. In pathological cases, we've seen > 80 million exit events in
our trace logs for a single child process.
Fix this by only issuing trace2 events in finish_command_in_signal() if
we get a value other than -1 from wait_or_whine(). This can lead to
missing child_exit events in such a case, but that is preferable to
duplicating events on a scale that threatens to fill the user's
filesystem with invalid trace logs.

* waitpid() returns an invalid PID

hook API: fix v2.36.0 regression: hooks should be connected to a TTY
Fix a regression reported[1] against f443246b9f2 (commit: convert
{pre-commit,prepare-commit-msg} hook to hook.h, 2021-12-22): Due to
using the run_process_parallel() API in the earlier 96e7225b310 (hook:
add 'run' subcommand, 2021-12-22) we'd capture the hook's stderr and
stdout, and thus lose the connection to the TTY in the case of
e.g. the "pre-commit" hook.
As a preceding commit notes GNU parallel's similar --ungroup option
also has it emit output faster. While we're unlikely to have hooks
that emit truly massive amounts of output (or where the performance
thereof matters) it's still informative to measure the overhead. In a
similar "seq" test we're now ~30% faster:

run-command: add an "ungroup" option to run_process_parallel()
Extend the parallel execution API added in c553c72eed6 (run-command:
add an asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) to support a
mode where the stdout and stderr of the processes isn't captured and
output in a deterministic order, instead we'll leave it to the kernel
and stdio to sort it out.
This gives the API same functionality as GNU parallel's --ungroup
option. As we'll see in a subsequent commit the main reason to want
this is to support stdout and stderr being connected to the TTY in the
case of jobs=1, demonstrated here with GNU parallel:
Another is as GNU parallel's documentation notes a potential for
optimization. As demonstrated in next commit our results with "git
hook run" will be similar, but generally speaking this shows that if
you want to run processes in parallel where the exact order isn't
important this can be a lot faster:
$ hyperfine -r 3 -L o ,--ungroup 'parallel {o} seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null '
Benchmark 1: parallel seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null

Summary
'parallel --ungroup seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null ' ran
1.42 ± 0.06 times faster than 'parallel seq ::: 10000000 >/dev/null '
A large part of the juggling in the API is to make the API safer for
its maintenance and consumers alike.
For the maintenance of the API we e.g. avoid malloc()-ing the
"pp->pfd", ensuring that SANITIZE=address and other similar tools will
catch any unexpected misuse.
For API consumers we take pains to never pass the non-NULL "out"
buffer to an API user that provided the "ungroup" option. The
resulting code in t/helper/test-run-command.c isn't typical of such a
user, i.e. they'd typically use one mode or the other, and would know
whether they'd provided "ungroup" or not.
We could also avoid the strbuf_init() for "buffered_output" by having
"struct parallel_processes" use a static PARALLEL_PROCESSES_INIT
initializer, but let's leave that cleanup for later.
Using a global "run_processes_parallel_ungroup" variable to enable
this option is rather nasty, but is being done here to produce as
minimal of a change as possible for a subsequent regression fix. This
change is extracted from a larger initial version[1] which ends up
with a better end-state for the API, but in doing so needed to modify
all existing callers of the API. Let's defer that for now, and
narrowly focus on what we need for fixing the regression in the
subsequent commit.
It's safe to do this with a global variable because:
A) hook.c is the only user of it that sets it to non-zero, and before
we'll get any other API users we'll refactor away this method of
passing in the option, i.e. re-roll [1].
B) Even if hook.c wasn't the only user we don't have callers of this
API that concurrently invoke this parallel process starting API
itself in parallel.
As noted above "A" && "B" are rather nasty, and we don't want to live
with those caveats long-term, but for now they should be an acceptable
compromise.

range-diff: show submodule changes irrespective of diff.submodule
After generating diffs for each range to be compared using a 'git log'
invocation, range-diff.c::read_patches looks for the "diff --git" header
in those diffs to recognize the beginning of a new change.
In a project with submodules, and with 'diff.submodule=log' set in the
config, this header is missing for the diff of a changed submodule, so
any submodule changes are quietly ignored in the range-diff.
When 'diff.submodule=diff' is set in the config, the "diff --git" header
is also missing for the submodule itself, but is shown for submodule
content changes, which can easily confuse 'git range-diff' and lead to
errors such as:
error: git apply: bad git-diff - inconsistent old filename on line 1
error: could not parse git header 'diff --git path/to/submodule/and/some/file/within
'
error: could not parse log for '@{u}..@{1}'
Force the submodule diff format to its default ("short") when invoking
'git log' to generate the patches for each range, such that submodule
changes are always detected.
Add a test, including an invocation with '--creation-factor=100' to
force the second commit in the range not to be considered a complete
rewrite, in order to verify we do indeed get the "short" format.

commit,shallow: unparse commits if grafts changed
When a commit is parsed, it pretends to have a different (possibly
empty) list of parents if there is graft information for that commit.
But there is a bug that could occur when a commit is parsed, the graft
information is updated (for example, when a shallow file is rewritten),
and the same commit is subsequently used: the parents of the commit do
not conform to the updated graft information, but the information at the
time of parsing.
This is usually not an issue, as a commit is usually introduced into the
repository at the same time as its graft information. That means that
when we try to parse that commit, we already have its graft information.
But it is an issue when fetching a shallow point directly into a
repository with submodules. The function
assign_shallow_commits_to_refs() parses all sought objects (including
the shallow point, which we are directly fetching). In update_shallow()
in fetch-pack.c, assign_shallow_commits_to_refs() is called before
commit_shallow_file(), which means that the shallow point would have
been parsed before graft information is updated. Once a commit is
parsed, it is no longer sensitive to any graft information updates. This
parsed commit is subsequently used when we do a revision walk to search
for submodules to fetch, meaning that the commit is considered to have
parents even though it is a shallow point (and therefore should be
treated as having no parents).
Therefore, whenever graft information is updated, mark the commits that
were previously grafts and the commits that are newly grafts as
unparsed.

builtin/show-ref.c: avoid over-iterating with --heads, --tags
When `show-ref` is combined with the `--heads` or `--tags` options, it
can avoid iterating parts of a repository's references that it doesn't
care about.
But it doesn't take advantage of this potential optimization. When this
command was introduced back in 358ddb62cf (Add "git show-ref" builtin
command, 2006-09-15), `for_each_ref_in()` did exist. But since most
repositories don't have many (any?) references that aren't branches or
tags already, this makes little difference in practice.
Though for repositories with a large imbalance of branches and tags (or,
more likely in the case of server operators, many hidden references),
this can make quite a difference. Take, for example, a repository with
500,000 "hidden" references (all of the form "refs/__hidden__/N"), and
a single branch:
Outputting the existence of that single branch currently takes on the
order of ~50ms on my machine. The vast majority of this time is wasted
iterating through references that we know we're going to discard.
Instead, teach `show-ref` that it can iterate just "refs/heads" and/or
"refs/tags" when given `--heads` and/or `--tags`, respectively. A few
small interesting things to note:
- When given either option, we can avoid the general-purpose
for_each_ref() call altogether, since we know that it won't give us
any references that we wouldn't filter out already.
- We can make two separate calls to `for_each_fullref_in()` (and
avoid, say, the more specialized `for_each_fullref_in_prefixes()`,
since we know that the set of references enumerated by each is
disjoint, so we'll never see the same reference appear in both
calls.
- We have to use the "fullref" variant (instead of just
`for_each_branch_ref()` and `for_each_tag_ref()`), since we expect
fully-qualified reference names to appear in `show-ref`'s output.
When either of `heads_only` or `tags_only` is set, we can eliminate the
strcmp() calls in `builtin/show-ref.c::show_ref()` altogether, since we
know that `show_ref()` will never see a non-branch or tag reference.
Unfortunately, we can't use `for_each_fullref_in_prefixes()` to enhance
`show-ref`'s pattern matching, since `show-ref` patterns match on the
_suffix_ (e.g., the pattern "foo" shows "refs/heads/foo",
"refs/tags/foo", and etc, not "foo/*").
Nonetheless, in our synthetic example above, this provides a significant
speed-up ("git" is roughly v2.36, "git.compile" is this patch):
$ hyperfine -N 'git show-ref --heads' 'git.compile show-ref --heads'

remote: create fetch.credentialsInUrl config
Users sometimes provide a "username:password" combination in their
plaintext URLs. Since Git stores these URLs in plaintext in the
.git/config file, this is a very insecure way of storing these
credentials. Credential managers are a more secure way of storing this
information.
System administrators might want to prevent this kind of use by users on
their machines.
Create a new "fetch.credentialsInUrl" config option and teach Git to
warn or die when seeing a URL with this kind of information. The warning
anonymizes the sensitive information of the URL to be clear about the
issue.
This change currently defaults the behavior to "allow" which does
nothing with these URLs. We can consider changing this behavior to
"warn" by default if we wish. At that time, we may want to add some
advice about setting fetch.credentialsInUrl=ignore for users who still
want to follow this pattern (and not receive the warning).
An earlier version of this change injected the logic into
url_normalize() in urlmatch.c. While most code paths that parse URLs
eventually normalize the URL, that normalization does not happen early
enough in the stack to avoid attempting connections to the URL first. By
inserting a check into the remote validation, we identify the issue
before making a connection. In the old code path, this was revealed by
testing the new t5601-clone.sh test under --stress, resulting in an
instance where the return code was 13 (SIGPIPE) instead of 128 from the
die().
However, we can reuse the parsing information from url_normalize() in
order to benefit from its well-worn parsing logic. We can use the struct
url_info that is created in that method to replace the password with
"<redacted>" in our error messages. This comes with a slight downside
that the normalized URL might look slightly different from the input URL
(for instance, the normalized version adds a closing slash). This should
not hinder users figuring out what the problem is and being able to fix
the issue.
As an attempt to ensure the parsing logic did not catch any
unintentional cases, I modified this change locally to to use the "die"
option by default. Running the test suite succeeds except for the
explicit username:password URLs used in t5550-http-fetch-dumb.sh and
t5541-http-push-smart.sh. This means that all other tested URLs did not
trigger this logic.
The tests show that the proper error messages appear (or do not
appear), but also count the number of error messages. When only warning,
each process validates the remote URL and outputs a warning. This
happens twice for clone, three times for fetch, and once for push.

This gets the same job done with slightly less code, as we won't need
to prefix lines with "BUG: ". More importantly we'll now log the full

We don't replace the last "BUG()" invocation with "BUG_if_bug()", as

need to make it a conditional.

We already have this sort of facility in various parts of the

Unlike the code this replaces we'll log to trace2 with this new bug()
function (as with other usage.c functions, including BUG()), we'll
also be able to avoid calls to xstrfmt() in some cases, as the bug()
function itself accepts variadic sprintf()-like arguments.
Any caller to bug() can follow up such calls with BUG_if_bug(),
which will BUG() out (i.e. abort()) if there were any preceding calls
to bug(), callers can also decide not to call BUG_if_bug() and leave
the resulting BUG() invocation until exit() time. There are currently
no bug() API users that don't call BUG_if_bug() themselves after a

parser has to use a DTD from the HTML Standard that has nothing to do
with XHTML 1.0 [2].
2. It’s obsolete. XHTML 1.0 was last revised in 2002 and was superseded in
2018 [3].
3. It’s unreliable. Gitweb uses and ⋅ but lets an external file
define them. “[…U]using entity references for characters in XML documents
is unsafe if they are defined in an external file (except for <, >,
&, ", and ').” [4]

remote.c: don't BUG() on 0-length branch names
4a2dcb1a08 (remote: die if branch is not found in repository,
2021-11-17) introduced a regression where multiple config entries with
an empty branch name, e.g.
[branch ""]
remote = foo
merge = bar
could cause Git to fail when it tries to look up branch tracking
information.
We parse the config key to get (branch name, branch name length), but
when the branch name subsection is empty, we get a bogus branch name,
e.g. "branch..remote" gives (".remote", 0). We continue to use the bogus
branch name as if it were valid, and prior to 4a2dcb1a08, this wasn't an
issue because length = 0 caused the branch name to effectively be ""
everywhere.
However, that commit handles length = 0 inconsistently when we create
the branch:
- When find_branch() is called to check if the branch exists in the
branch hash map, it interprets a length of 0 to mean that it should
call strlen on the char pointer.
- But the code path that inserts into the branch hash map interprets a
length of 0 to mean that the string is 0-length.
This results in the bug described above:
- "branch..remote" looks for ".remote" in the branch hash map. Since we
do not find it, we insert the "" entry into the hash map.
- "branch..merge" looks for ".merge" in the branch hash map. Since we
do not find it, we again try to insert the "" entry into the hash map.
However, the entries in the branch hash map are supposed to be
appended to, not overwritten.
- Since overwriting an entry is a BUG(), Git fails instead of silently
ignoring the empty branch name.
Fix the bug by removing the convenience strlen functionality, so that
0 means that the string is 0-length. We still insert a bogus branch name
into the hash map, but this will be fixed in a later commit.
