http: support CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_STR
The CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS (and matching CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS) flag was
deprecated in curl 7.85.0, and using it generate compiler warnings as of
curl 7.87.0. The path forward is to use CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_STR, but we
can't just do so unilaterally, as it was only introduced less than a
year ago in 7.85.0.
Until that version becomes ubiquitous, we have to either disable the
deprecation warning or conditionally use the "STR" variant on newer
versions of libcurl. This patch switches to the new variant, which is
nice for two reasons:
- we don't have to worry that silencing curl's deprecation warnings
might cause us to miss other more useful ones
- we'd eventually want to move to the new variant anyway, so this gets
us set up (albeit with some extra ugly boilerplate for the
conditional)
There are a lot of ways to split up the two cases. One way would be to
abstract the storage type (strbuf versus a long), how to append
(strbuf_addstr vs bitwise OR), how to initialize, which CURLOPT to use,
and so on. But the resulting code looks pretty magical:
GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_TYPE allowed = GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_TYPE_INIT;
if (...http is allowed...)
GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_APPEND(&allowed, "http", CURLOPT_HTTP);
and you end up with more "#define GIT_CURL_PROTOCOL_TYPE" macros than
actual code.
On the other end of the spectrum, we could just implement two separate
functions, one that handles a string list and one that handles bits. But
then we end up repeating our list of protocols (http, https, ftp, ftp).
This patch takes the middle ground. The run-time code is always there to
handle both types, and we just choose which one to feed to curl.

http: prefer CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION to CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION
The IOCTLFUNCTION option has been deprecated, and generates a compiler
warning in recent versions of curl. We can switch to using SEEKFUNCTION
instead. It was added in 2008 via curl 7.18.0; our INSTALL file already
indicates we require at least curl 7.19.4.
But there's one catch: curl says we should use CURL_SEEKFUNC_{OK,FAIL},
and those didn't arrive until 7.19.5. One workaround would be to use a
bare 0/1 here (or define our own macros). But let's just bump the
minimum required version to 7.19.5. That version is only a minor version
bump from our existing requirement, and is only a 2 month time bump for
versions that are almost 13 years old. So it's not likely that anybody
cares about the distinction.
Switching means we have to rewrite the ioctl functions into seek
functions. In some ways they are simpler (seeking is the only
operation), but in some ways more complex (the ioctl allowed only a full
rewind, but now we can seek to arbitrary offsets).
Curl will only ever use SEEK_SET (per their documentation), so I didn't
bother implementing anything else, since it would naturally be
completely untested. This seems unlikely to change, but I added an
assertion just in case.
Likewise, I doubt curl will ever try to seek outside of the buffer sizes
we've told it, but I erred on the defensive side here, rather than do an
out-of-bounds read.

Hook authors are periodically caught off-guard by difficult-to-diagnose

patch converts several cases which were found with:
git grep 'strncmp(.*, [0-9]*)'
But note that it doesn't convert all such cases. There are several where
the magic length number is repeated elsewhere in the code, like:
/* handle "buf" which isn't NUL-terminated and might be too small */
if (len >= 3 && !strncmp(buf, "foo", 3))
or:
/* exact match for "foo", but within a larger string */
if (end - buf == 3 && !strncmp(buf, "foo", 3))
While it would not produce the wrong outcome to use starts_with() in
these cases, we'd still be left with one instance of "3". We're better
to leave them for now, as the repeated "3" makes it clear that the two
are linked (there may be other refactorings that handle both, but
they're out of scope for this patch).
A few things to note while reading the patch:
- all cases but one are trying to match, and so lose the extra "!".
The case in the first hunk of urlmatch.c is not-matching, and hence
gains a "!".
- the case in remote-fd.c is matching the beginning of "connect foo",
but we never look at str+8 to parse the "foo" part (which would make
this a candidate for skip_prefix(), not starts_with()). This seems
at first glance like a bug, but is a limitation of how remote-fd

read-cache: add index.skipHash config option
The previous change allowed skipping the hashing portion of the
hashwrite API, using it instead as a buffered write API. Disabling the
hashwrite can be particularly helpful when the write operation is in a
critical path.
One such critical path is the writing of the index. This operation is so
critical that the sparse index was created specifically to reduce the
size of the index to make these writes (and reads) faster.
This trade-off between file stability at rest and write-time performance
is not easy to balance. The index is an interesting case for a couple
reasons:
1. Writes block users. Writing the index takes place in many user-
blocking foreground operations. The speed improvement directly
impacts their use. Other file formats are typically written in the
background (commit-graph, multi-pack-index) or are super-critical to
correctness (pack-files).
2. Index files are short lived. It is rare that a user leaves an index
for a long time with many staged changes. Outside of staged changes,
the index can be completely destroyed and rewritten with minimal
impact to the user.
Following a similar approach to one used in the microsoft/git fork [1],
add a new config option (index.skipHash) that allows disabling this
hashing during the index write. The cost is that we can no longer
validate the contents for corruption-at-rest using the trailing hash.
We load this config from the repository config given by istate->repo,
with a fallback to the_repository if it is not set.
While older Git versions will not recognize the null hash as a special
case, the file format itself is still being met in terms of its
structure. Using this null hash will still allow Git operations to
function across older versions.
The one exception is 'git fsck' which checks the hash of the index file.
This used to be a check on every index read, but was split out to just
the index in a33fc72fe91 (read-cache: force_verify_index_checksum,
2017-04-14) and released first in Git 2.13.0. Document the versions that
relaxed these restrictions, with the optimistic expectation that this
change will be included in Git 2.40.0.
Here, we disable this check if the trailing hash is all zeroes. We add a
warning to the config option that this may cause undesirable behavior
with older Git versions.
As a quick comparison, I tested 'git update-index --force-write' with
and without index.skipHash=true on a copy of the Linux kernel
repository.
Benchmark 1: with hash
Time (mean ± σ): 46.3 ms ± 13.8 ms [User: 34.3 ms, System: 11.9 ms]
Range (min … max): 34.3 ms … 79.1 ms 82 runs
Benchmark 2: without hash
Time (mean ± σ): 26.0 ms ± 7.9 ms [User: 11.8 ms, System: 14.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 16.3 ms … 42.0 ms 69 runs
Summary
'without hash' ran
1.78 ± 0.76 times faster than 'with hash'
These performance benefits are substantial enough to allow users the
ability to opt-in to this feature, even with the potential confusion
with older 'git fsck' versions.
Test this new config option, both at a command-line level and within a
submodule. The confirmation is currently limited to confirm that 'git
fsck' does not complain about the index. Future updates will make this
test more robust.
It is critical that this test is placed before the test_index_version

hashfile: allow skipping the hash function
The hashfile API is useful for generating files that include a trailing
hash of the file's contents up to that point. Using such a hash is
helpful for verifying the file for corruption-at-rest, such as a faulty
drive causing flipped bits.
Git's index file includes this trailing hash, so it uses a 'struct
hashfile' to handle the I/O to the file. This was very convenient to
allow using the hashfile methods during these operations.
However, hashing the file contents during write comes at a performance
penalty. It's slower to hash the bytes on their way to the disk than
without that step. This problem is made worse by the replacement of
hardware-accelerated SHA1 computations with the software-based sha1dc
computation.
This write cost is significant, and the checksum capability is likely
not worth that cost for such a short-lived file. The index is rewritten
frequently and the only time the checksum is checked is during 'git
fsck'. Thus, it would be helpful to allow a user to opt-out of the hash
computation.
We first need to allow Git to opt-out of the hash computation in the
hashfile API. The buffered writes of the API are still helpful, so it
makes sense to make the change here.
Introduce a new 'skip_hash' option to 'struct hashfile'. When set, the
update_fn and final_fn members of the_hash_algo are skipped. When
finalizing the hashfile, the trailing hash is replaced with the null
hash.
This use of a trailing null hash would be desireable in either case,
since we do not want to special case a file format to have a different
length depending on whether it was hashed or not. When the final bytes
of a file are all zero, we can infer that it was written without
hashing, and thus that verification is not available as a check for file
consistency. This also means that we could easily toggle hashing for any
file format we desire.
A version of this patch has existed in the microsoft/git fork since
2017 [1] (the linked commit was rebased in 2018, but the original dates
back to January 2017). Here, the change to make the index use this fast
path is delayed until a later change.

diff: drop "name" parameter from prepare_temp_file()
The prepare_temp_file() function takes a diff_filespec as well as a
filename. But it is almost certainly an error to pass in a name that
isn't the filespec's "path" parameter, since that is the only thing that
reliably tells us how to find the content (and indeed, this was the
source of a recently-fixed bug).
So let's drop the redundant "name" parameter and just use one->path
throughout the function. This simplifies the interface a little bit, and
makes it impossible for calling code to get it wrong.

diff: clean up external-diff argv setup
Since the previous commit, setting up the tempfile for an external diff
uses df->path from the diff_filespec, rather than the logical name. This
means add_external_diff_name() does not need to take a "name" parameter
at all, and we can drop it. And that in turn lets us simplify the
conditional for handling renames (when the "other" name is non-NULL).

diff: use filespec path to set up tempfiles for ext-diff
When we're going to run an external diff, we have to make the contents
of the pre- and post-images available either by dumping them to a
tempfile, or by pointing at a valid file in the worktree. The logic of
this is all handled by prepare_temp_file(), and we just pass in the
filename and the diff_filespec.
But there's a gotcha here. The "filename" we have is a logical filename
and not necessarily a path on disk or in the repository. This matters in
at least one case: when using "--relative", we may have a name like
"foo", even though the file content is found at "subdir/foo". As a
result, we look for the wrong path, fail to find "foo", and claim that
the file has been deleted (passing "/dev/null" to the external diff,
rather than the correct worktree path).
We can fix this by passing the pathname from the diff_filespec, which
should always be a full repository path (and that's what we want even if
reusing a worktree file, since we're always operating from the top-level
of the working tree).
The breakage seems to go all the way back to cd676a5136 (diff
--relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory,
2008-02-12). As far as I can tell, before then "name" would always have
been the same as the filespec's "path".
There are two related cases I looked at that aren't buggy:
1. the only other caller of prepare_temp_file() is run_textconv(). But
it always passes the filespec's path field, so it's OK.
2. I wondered if file renames/copies might cause similar confusion.
But they don't, because run_external_diff() receives two names in
that case: "name" and "other", which correspond to the two sides of
the diff. And we did correctly pass "other" when handling the
post-image side. Barring the use of "--relative", that would always
match "two->path", the path of the second filespec (and the rename
destination).
So the only bug is just the interaction with external diff drivers and
--relative.

dir: check for single file cone patterns
The sparse checkout documentation states that the cone mode pattern set
is limited to patterns that either recursively include directories or
patterns that match all files in a directory. In the sparse checkout
file, the former manifest in the form:
/A/B/C/
while the latter become a pair of patterns either in the form:
/A/B/
!/A/B/*/
or in the special case of matching the toplevel files:
/*
!/*/
The 'add_pattern_to_hashsets()' function contains checks which serve to
disable cone-mode when non-cone patterns are encountered. However, these
do not catch when the pattern list attempts to match a single file or
directory, e.g. a pattern in the form:
/A/B/C
This causes sparse-checkout to exhibit unexpected behaviour when such a
pattern is in the sparse-checkout file and cone mode is enabled.
Concretely, with the pattern like the above, sparse-checkout, in
non-cone mode, will only include the directory or file located at
'/A/B/C'. However, with cone mode enabled, sparse-checkout will instead
just manifest the toplevel files but not any file located at '/A/B/C'.
Relatedly, issues occur when supplying the same kind of filter when
partial cloning with '--filter=sparse:oid=<oid>'. 'upload-pack' will
correctly just include the objects that match the non-cone pattern
matching. Which means that checking out the newly cloned repo with the
same filter, but with cone mode enabled, fails due to missing objects.
To fix these issues, add a cone mode pattern check that asserts that
every pattern is either a directory match or the pattern '/*'. Add a
test to verify the new pattern check and modify another to reflect that
non-directory patterns are caught earlier.
