builtin/diff: explicitly set hash algo when there is no repo
The git-diff(1) command can be used outside repositories to diff two
files with each other. But even if there is no repository we will end up
hashing the files that we are diffing so that we can print the "index"
line:
```
diff --git a/a b/b
index 7898192..6178079 100644
--- a/a
+++ b/b
@@ -1 +1 @@
-a
+b
```
We implicitly use SHA1 to calculate the hash here, which is because
`the_repository` gets initialized with SHA1 during the startup routine.
We are about to stop doing this though such that `the_repository` only
ever has a hash function when it was properly initialized via a repo's
configuration.
To give full control to our users, we would ideally add a new switch to
git-diff(1) that allows them to specify the hash function when executed
outside of a repository. But for now, we only convert the code to make
this explicit such that we can stop setting the default hash algorithm
for `the_repository`.

builtin/bundle: abort "verify" early when there is no repository
Verifying a bundle requires us to have a repository. This is encoded in
`verify_bundle()`, which will return an error if there is no repository.
We call `open_bundle()` before we call `verify_bundle()` though, which
already performs some verifications even though we may ultimately abort
due to a missing repository.
This is problematic because `open_bundle()` already reads the bundle
header and verifies that it contains a properly formatted hash. When
there is no repository we have no clue what hash function to expect
though, so we always end up assuming SHA1 here, which may or may not be
correct. Furthermore, we are about to stop initializing `the_hash_algo`
when there is no repository, which will lead to segfaults.
Check early on whether we have a repository to fix this issue.

We access `the_hash_algo` in git-blame(1) before we have executed
`parse_options_start()`, which may not be properly set up in case we
have no repository. This is fine for most of the part because all the
call paths that lead to it (git-blame(1), git-annotate(1) as well as
git-pick-axe(1)) specify `RUN_SETUP` and thus require a repository.
There is one exception though, namely when passing `-h` to print the
help. Here we will access `the_hash_algo` even if there is no repo.
This works fine right now because `the_hash_algo` gets sets up to point
to the SHA1 algorithm via `initialize_repository()`. But we're about to
stop doing this, and thus the code would lead to a `NULL` pointer
exception.
Prepare the code for this and only access `the_hash_algo` after we are
sure that there is a proper repository.

builtin/rev-parse: allow shortening to more than 40 hex characters
The `--short=` option for git-rev-parse(1) allows the user to specify
to how many characters object IDs should be shortened to. The option is
broken though for SHA256 repositories because we set the maximum allowed
hash size to `the_hash_algo->hexsz` before we have even set up the repo.
Consequently, `the_hash_algo` will always be SHA1 and thus we truncate
every hash after at most 40 characters.
Fix this by accessing `the_hash_algo` only after we have set up the
repo.

The dumb HTTP transport tries to read the remote HEAD reference by
downloading the "HEAD" file and then parsing it via `http_fetch_ref()`.
This function will either parse the file as an object ID in case it is
exactly `the_hash_algo->hexsz` long, or otherwise it will check whether
the reference starts with "ref :" and parse it as a symbolic ref.
This is broken when parsing detached HEADs of a remote SHA256 repository
because we never update `the_hash_algo` to the discovered remote object
hash. Consequently, `the_hash_algo` will always be the fallback SHA1
hash algorithm, which will cause us to fail parsing HEAD altogteher when
it contains a SHA256 object ID.
Fix this issue by setting up `the_hash_algo` via `repo_set_hash_algo()`.
While at it, let's make the expected SHA1 fallback explicit in our code,
which also addresses an upcoming issue where we are going to remove the
SHA1 fallback for `the_hash_algo`.

attr: fix BUG() when parsing attrs outside of repo
If either the `--attr-source` option or the `GIT_ATTR_SOURCE` envvar are
set, then `compute_default_attr_source()` will try to look up the value
as a treeish. It is possible to hit that function while outside of a Git
repository though, for example when using `git grep --no-index`. In that
case, Git will hit a bug because we try to look up the main ref store
outside of a repository.
Handle the case gracefully and detect when we try to look up an attr
source without a repository.
Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The `default_attr_source()` function lazily computes the attr source
supposedly once, only. This is done via a static variable `attr_source`
that contains the resolved object ID of the attr source's tree. If the
variable is the null object ID then we try to look up the attr source,
otherwise we skip over it.
This approach is flawed though: the variable will never be set to
anything else but the null object ID in case there is no attr source.
Consequently, we re-compute the information on every call. And in the
worst case, when we silently ignore bad trees, this will cause us to try
and look up the treeish every single time.
Improve this by introducing a separate variable `has_attr_source` to
track whether we already computed the attr source and, if so, whether we
have an attr source or not.
This also allows us to convert the `ignore_bad_attr_tree` to not be
static anymore as the code will only be executed once anyway.

parse-options-cb: only abbreviate hashes when hash algo is known
The `OPT__ABBREV()` option can be used to add an option that abbreviates
object IDs. When given a length longer than `the_hash_algo->hexsz`, then
it will instead set the length to that maximum length.
It may not always be guaranteed that we have `the_hash_algo` initialized
properly as the hash algorithm can only be set up after we have set up
`the_repository`. In that case, the hash would always be truncated to
the hex length of SHA1, which may not be what the user desires.
In practice it's not a problem as all commands that use `OPT__ABBREV()`
also have `RUN_SETUP` set and thus cannot work without a repository.
Consequently, both `the_repository` and `the_hash_algo` would be
properly set up.
Regardless of that, harden the code to not truncate the length when we
didn't set up a repository.

path: harden validation of HEAD with non-standard hashes
The `validate_headref()` function takes a path to a supposed "HEAD" file
and checks whether its format is something that we understand. It is
used as part of our repository discovery to check whether a specific
directory is a Git directory or not.
Part of the validation is a check for a detached HEAD that contains a
plain object ID. To do this validation we use `get_oid_hex()`, which
relies on `the_hash_algo`. At this point in time the hash algo cannot
yet be initialized though because we didn't yet read the Git config.
Consequently, it will always be the SHA1 hash algorithm.
In practice this works alright because `get_oid_hex()` only ends up
checking whether the prefix of the buffer is a valid object ID. And
because SHA1 is shorter than SHA256, the function will successfully
parse SHA256 object IDs, as well.
It is somewhat fragile though and not really the intent to only check
for SHA1. With this in mind, harden the code to use `get_oid_hex_any()`
to check whether the "HEAD" file parses as any known hash.
One might be hard pressed to tighten the check even further and fully
validate the file contents, not only the prefix. In practice though that
wouldn't make a lot of sense as it could be that the repository uses a
hash function that produces longer hashes than SHA256, but which the
current version of Git doesn't understand yet. We'd still want to detect
the repository as proper Git repository in that case, and we will fail
eventually with a proper error message that the hash isn't understood
when trying to set up the repository format.
It follows that we could just leave the current code intact, as in
practice the code change doesn't have any user visible impact. But it
also prepares us for `the_hash_algo` being unset when there is no
repository.

stop using HEAD for attributes in bare repository by default
With 23865355 (attr: read attributes from HEAD when bare repo,
2023-10-13), we started to use the HEAD tree as the default
attribute source in a bare repository. One argument for such a
behaviour is that it would make things like "git archive" run in
bare and non-bare repositories for the same commit consistent.
This changes was merged to Git 2.43 but without an explicit mention
in its release notes.
It turns out that this change destroys performance of shallowly
cloning from a bare repository. As the "server" installations are
expected to be mostly bare, and "git pack-objects", which is the
core of driving the other side of "git clone" and "git fetch" wants
to see if a path is set not to delta with blobs from other paths via
the attribute system, the change forces the server side to traverse
the tree of the HEAD commit needlessly to find if each and every
paths the objects it sends out has the attribute that controls the
deltification. Given that (1) most projects do not configure such
an attribute, and (2) it is dubious for the server side to honor
such an end-user supplied attribute anyway, this was a poor choice
of the default.
To mitigate the current situation, let's revert the change that uses
the tree of HEAD in a bare repository by default as the attribute
source. This will help most people who have been happy with the
behaviour of Git 2.42 and before.
Two things to note:
* If you are stuck with versions of Git 2.43 or newer, that is
older than the release this fix appears in, you can explicitly
set the attr.tree configuration variable to point at an empty
tree object, i.e.
* If you like the behaviour we are reverting, you can explicitly
set the attr.tree configuration variable to HEAD, i.e.
$ git config attr.tree HEAD
The right fix for this is to optimize the code paths that allow
accesses to attributes in tree objects, but that is a much more
involved change and is left as a longer-term project, outside the
scope of this "first step" fix.

Since 5e47215080 (fuzz: add basic fuzz testing target., 2018-10-12), we
have compiled object files for the fuzz tests as part of the default
'make all' target. This helps prevent bit-rot in lesser-used parts of
the codebase, by making sure that incompatible changes are caught at
build time.
However, since we never linked the fuzzer executables, this did not
protect us from link-time errors. As of 8b9a42bf48 (fuzz: fix fuzz test
build rules, 2024-01-19), it's now possible to link the fuzzer
executables without using a fuzzing engine and a variety of
compiler-specific (and compiler-version-specific) flags, at least on
Linux. So let's add a platform-specific option in config.mak.uname to
link the executables as part of the default `make all` target.
Since linking the fuzzer executables without a fuzzing engine does not
require a C++ compiler, we can change the FUZZ_PROGRAMS build rule to
use $(CC) by default. This avoids compiler mis-match issues when
overriding $(CC) but not $(CXX). When we *do* want to actually link with
a fuzzing engine, we can set $(FUZZ_CXX). The build instructions in the
CI fuzz-smoke-test job and in the Makefile comment have been updated
accordingly.
While we're at it, we can consolidate some of the fuzzer build
instructions into one location in the Makefile.

this is written to rebase_path_message() when stopping for user

cherry-pick", "git merge" etc. which all list the files with merge
conflicts.
The tests are extended to check that all commits made after continuing a
rebase have a "Signed-off-by:" trailer. Sadly there are a couple of
leaks in apply.c which I've not been able to track down that mean this
test file is no-longer leak free when testing "git rebase --apply
--signoff" with conflicts.

sequencer: store commit message in private context
Add an strbuf to "struct replay_ctx" to hold the current commit
message. This does not change the behavior but it will allow us to fix a
bug with "git rebase --signoff" in the next commit. A future patch
series will use the changes here to avoid writing the commit message to
disc unless there are conflicts or the commit is being reworded.
The changes in do_pick_commit() are a mechanical replacement of "msgbuf"
with "ctx->message". In do_merge() the code to write commit message to
disc is factored out of the conditional now that both branches store the
message in the same buffer.

sequencer: start removing private fields from public API
"struct replay_opts" has a number of fields that are for internal
use. While they are marked as private having them in a public struct is
a distraction for callers and means that every time the internal details
are changed we have to recompile all the files that include sequencer.h
even though the public API is unchanged. This commit starts the process
of removing the private fields by adding an opaque pointer to a "struct
replay_ctx" to "struct replay_opts" and moving the "reflog_message"
member to the new private struct.
The sequencer currently updates the state files on disc each time it
processes a command in the todo list. This is an artifact of the
scripted implementation and makes the code hard to reason about as it is
not possible to get a complete view of the state in memory. In the
future we will add new members to "struct replay_ctx" to remedy this and
avoid writing state to disc unless the sequencer stops for user
interaction.

sequencer_post_commit_cleanup() initializes an instance of "struct
replay_opts" but does not call replay_opts_release(). Currently this
does not leak memory because the code paths called don't allocate any of
the struct members. That will change in the next commit so add call to
replay_opts_release() to prevent a memory leak in "git commit" that
breaks all of the leak free tests.

Now that we have dropped `the_index`, `initialize_the_repository()`
doesn't really do a lot anymore except for setting up the pointer for
`the_repository` and then calling `initialize_repository()`. The former
can be replaced by statically initializing the pointer though, which
basically makes this function moot.
Convert callers to instead call `initialize_repository(the_repository)`
and drop `initialize_thee_repository()`.

All users of `the_index` have been converted to use either a custom
`struct index_state *` or the index provided by `the_repository`. We can
thus drop the globally-accessible declaration of this variable. In fact,
we can go further than that and drop `the_index` completely now and have
it be allocated dynamically in `initialize_repository()` as all the
other data structures in it are.
This concludes the quest to make Git `the_index` free, which has started
with 4aab5b46f4 (Make read-cache.c "the_index" free., 2007-04-01).

When Git starts, one of the first things it will do is to call
`initialize_the_repository()`. This function sets up both the global
`the_repository` and `the_index` variables as required. Part of that
setup is also to set `the_repository.index = &the_index` so that the
index can be accessed via the repository.
When calling `repo_init()` on a repository though we set the complete
struct to all-zeroes, which will also cause us to unset the `index`
pointer. And as we don't re-initialize the index in that function, we
will end up with a `NULL` pointer here.
This has been fine until now becaues this function is only used to
create a new repository. git-init(1) does not access the index at all
after initializing the repository, whereas git-checkout(1) only uses
`the_index` directly. We are about to remove `the_index` though, which
will uncover this partially-initialized repository structure.
Refactor the code and create a common `initialize_repository()` function
that gets called from `repo_init()` and `initialize_the_repository()`.
This function sets up both the repository and the index as required.
Like this, we can easily special-case when `repo_init()` gets called
with `the_repository`.
