fetch-pack: exclude blobs when lazy-fetching trees
A partial clone with missing trees can be obtained using "git clone
--filter=tree:none <repo>". In such a repository, when a tree needs to
be lazily fetched, any tree or blob it directly or indirectly references
is fetched as well, regardless of whether the original command required
those objects, or if the local repository already had some of them.
This is because the fetch protocol, which the lazy fetch uses, does not
allow clients to request that only the wanted objects be sent, which
would be the ideal solution. This patch implements a partial solution:
specify the "blob:none" filter, somewhat reducing the fetch payload.
This change has no effect when lazily fetching blobs (due to how filters
work). And if lazily fetching a commit (such repositories are difficult
to construct and is not a use case we support very well, but it is
possible), referenced commits and trees are still fetched - only the
blobs are not fetched.
The necessary code change is done in fetch_pack() instead of somewhere
closer to where the "filter" instruction is written to the wire so that
only one part of the code needs to be changed in order for users of all
protocol versions to benefit from this optimization.

fetch-pack: avoid object flags if no_dependents
When fetch_pack() is invoked as part of another Git command (due to a
lazy fetch from a partial clone, for example), it uses object flags that
may already be used by the outer Git command.
The commit that introduced the lazy fetch feature (88e2f9ed8e
("introduce fetch-object: fetch one promisor object", 2017-12-05)) tried
to avoid this overlap, but it did not avoid it totally. It was
successful in avoiding writing COMPLETE, but did not avoid reading
COMPLETE, and did not avoid writing and reading ALTERNATE.
Ensure that no flags are written or read by fetch_pack() in the case
where it is used to perform a lazy fetch. To do this, it is sufficient
to avoid checking completeness of wanted refs (unnecessary in the case
of lazy fetches), and to avoid negotiation-related work (in the current
implementation, already, no negotiation is performed). After that was
done, the lack of overlap was verified by checking all direct and
indirect usages of COMPLETE and ALTERNATE - that they are read or
written only if no_dependents is false.
There are other possible solutions to this issue:
(1) Split fetch-pack.{c,h} into a flag-using part and a non-flag-using
part, and whenever no_dependents is set, only use the
non-flag-using part.
(2) Make fetch_pack() be able to be used with arbitrary repository
objects. fetch_pack() should then create its own repository object
based on the given repository object, with its own object
hashtable, so that the flags do not conflict.
(1) is possible but invasive - some functions would need to be split;
and such invasiveness would potentially be unnecessary if we ever were
to need (2) anyway. (2) would be useful if we were to support, say,
submodules that were partial clones themselves, but I don't know when or
if the Git project plans to support those.

t7005-editor: quote filename to fix whitespace-issue
Commit 4362da078e (t7005-editor: get rid of the SPACES_IN_FILENAMES
prereq, 2018-05-14) removed code for detecting whether spaces in
filenames work. Since we rely on spaces throughout the test suite
("trash directory.t1234-foo"), testing whether we can use the filename
"e space.sh" was redundant and unnecessary.
In simplifying the code, though, this introduced a regression around how
spaces are handled, not in the /name/ of the editor script, but /in/ the
script itself. The script just does `echo space >$1`, where $1 is for
example "/foo/t/trash directory.t7005-editor/.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG".
With most shells, or with Bash in posix mode, $1 will not be subjected
to field splitting. But if we invoke Bash directly, which will happen if
we build Git with SHELL_PATH=/bin/bash, it will detect and complain
about an "ambiguous redirect". More details can be found in [1], thanks
to SZEDER Gábor.
Make sure that the editor script quotes "$1" to remove the ambiguity.

commit: fix erroneous BUG, 'multiple renames on the same target? how?'
builtin/commit.c:prepare_to_commit() can call run_status() twice if
using the editor, including status, and the user attempts to record a
non-merge empty commit without explicit --allow-empty. If there is also
a rename involved as well (due to using 'git add -N'), then a BUG in
wt-status.c is triggered:
BUG: wt-status.c:476: multiple renames on the same target? how?
The reason we hit this bug is that both run_status() calls use the same
struct wt_status * (named s), and s->change is not freed between runs.
Changes are inserted into s with string_list_insert, which usually means
that the second run just recomputes all the same results and overwrites
what was computed the first time. However, ever since commit 176ea7479309 ("wt-status.c: handle worktree renames", 2017-12-27),
wt-status started checking for renames and copies but also added a
preventative check that d->rename_status wasn't already set and output a
BUG message if it was. The problem isn't that there are multiple rename
targets to a single path as the error implies, the problem is that 's'
is not freed/cleared between the two run_status() calls.
Ever since commit dc6b1d92ca9c ("wt-status: use settings from
git_diff_ui_config", 2018-05-04), which stopped hardcoding
DIFF_DETECT_RENAME and allowed users to ask for copy detection, this bug
has also been triggerable with a copy instead of a rename.
Fix the bug by clearing s->change. A better change might be to clean up
all of s between the two run_status() calls. A good first step towards
such a goal might be writing a function to free the necessary fields in
the wt_status * struct; a cursory glance at the code suggests all of its
allocated data is probably leaked. However, doing all that cleanup is a
bigger task for someone else interested to tackle; just fix the bug for
now.

fsck: detect submodule paths starting with dash
As with urls, submodule paths with dashes are ignored by
git, but may end up confusing older versions. Detecting them
via fsck lets us prevent modern versions of git from being a
vector to spread broken .gitmodules to older versions.
Compared to blocking leading-dash urls, though, this
detection may be less of a good idea:
1. While such paths provide confusing and broken results,
they don't seem to actually work as option injections
against anything except "cd". In particular, the
submodule code seems to canonicalize to an absolute
path before running "git clone" (so it passes
/your/clone/-sub).
2. It's more likely that we may one day make such names
actually work correctly. Even after we revert this fsck
check, it will continue to be a hassle until hosting
servers are all updated.
On the other hand, it's not entirely clear that the behavior
in older versions is safe. And if we do want to eventually
allow this, we may end up doing so with a special syntax
anyway (e.g., writing "./-sub" in the .gitmodules file, and
teaching the submodule code to canonicalize it when
comparing).
So on balance, this is probably a good protection.

submodule-config: ban submodule paths that start with a dash
We recently banned submodule urls that look like
command-line options. This is the matching change to ban
leading-dash paths.
As with the urls, this should not break any use cases that
currently work. Even with our "--" separator passed to
git-clone, git-submodule.sh gets confused. Without the code
portion of this patch, the clone of "-sub" added in t7417
would yield results like:
/path/to/git-submodule: 410: cd: Illegal option -s
/path/to/git-submodule: 417: cd: Illegal option -s
/path/to/git-submodule: 410: cd: Illegal option -s
/path/to/git-submodule: 417: cd: Illegal option -s
Fetched in submodule path '-sub', but it did not contain b56243f8f4eb91b2f1f8109452e659f14dd3fbe4. Direct fetching of that commit failed.
Moreover, naively adding such a submodule doesn't work:
$ git submodule add $url -sub
The following path is ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
-sub
even though there is no such ignore pattern (the test script
hacks around this with a well-placed "git mv").
Unlike leading-dash urls, though, it's possible that such a
path _could_ be useful if we eventually made it work. So
this commit should be seen not as recommending a particular
policy, but rather temporarily closing off a broken and
possibly dangerous code-path. We may revisit this decision
later.
There are two minor differences to the tests in t7416 (that
covered urls):
1. We don't have a "./-sub" escape hatch to make this
work, since the submodule code expects to be able to
match canonical index names to the path field (so you
are free to add submodule config with that path, but we
would never actually use it, since an index entry would
never start with "./").
2. After this patch, cloning actually succeeds. Since we
ignore the submodule.*.path value, we fail to find a
config stanza for our submodule at all, and simply
treat it as inactive. We still check for the "ignoring"
message.

submodule-config: ban submodule urls that start with dash
The previous commit taught the submodule code to invoke our
"git clone $url $path" with a "--" separator so that we
aren't confused by urls or paths that start with dashes.
However, that's just one code path. It's not clear if there
are others, and it would be an easy mistake to add one in
the future. Moreover, even with the fix in the previous
commit, it's quite hard to actually do anything useful with
such an entry. Any url starting with a dash must fall into
one of three categories:
- it's meant as a file url, like "-path". But then any
clone is not going to have the matching path, since it's
by definition relative inside the newly created clone. If
you spell it as "./-path", the submodule code sees the
"/" and translates this to an absolute path, so it at
least works (assuming the receiver has the same
filesystem layout as you). But that trick does not apply
for a bare "-path".
- it's meant as an ssh url, like "-host:path". But this
already doesn't work, as we explicitly disallow ssh
hostnames that begin with a dash (to avoid option
injection against ssh).
- it's a remote-helper scheme, like "-scheme::data". This
_could_ work if the receiver bends over backwards and
creates a funny-named helper like "git-remote--scheme".
But normally there would not be any helper that matches.
Since such a url does not work today and is not likely to do
anything useful in the future, let's simply disallow them
entirely. That protects the existing "git clone" path (in a
belt-and-suspenders way), along with any others that might
exist.
Our tests cover two cases:
1. A file url with "./" continues to work, showing that
there's an escape hatch for people with truly silly
repo names.
2. A url starting with "-" is rejected.
Note that we expect case (2) to fail, but it would have done
so even without this commit, for the reasons given above.
So instead of just expecting failure, let's also check for
the magic word "ignoring" on stderr. That lets us know that
we failed for the right reason.

does not know about 'attr' and will bail out:
A better solution would be making this code support 'attr'. But I

linear-assignment: fix potential out of bounds memory access
Currently the 'compute_assignment()' function may read memory out
of bounds, even if used correctly. Namely this happens when we only
have one column. In that case we try to calculate the initial
minimum cost using '!j1' as column in the reduction transfer code.
That in turn causes us to try and get the cost from column 1 in the
cost matrix, which does not exist, and thus results in an out of
bounds memory read.
In the original paper [1], the example code initializes that minimum
cost to "infinite". We could emulate something similar by setting the
minimum cost to INT_MAX, which would result in the same minimum cost
as the current algorithm, as we'd always go into the if condition at
least once, except when we only have one column, and column_count thus
equals 1.
If column_count does equal 1, the condition in the loop would always
be false, and we'd end up with a minimum of INT_MAX, which may lead to
integer overflows later in the algorithm.
For a column count of 1, we however do not even really need to go
through the whole algorithm. A column count of 1 means that there's
no possible assignments, and we can just zero out the column2row and
row2column arrays, and return early from the function, while keeping
the reduction transfer part of the function the same as it is
currently.
Another solution would be to just not call the 'compute_assignment()'
function from the range diff code in this case, however it's better to
make the compute_assignment function more robust, so future callers
don't run into this potential problem.
Note that the test only fails under valgrind on Linux, but the same
command has been reported to segfault on Mac OS.

sequencer: fix --allow-empty-message behavior, make it smarter
In commit b00bf1c9a8dd ("git-rebase: make --allow-empty-message the
default", 2018-06-27), several arguments were given for transplanting
empty commits without halting and asking the user for confirmation on
each commit. These arguments were incomplete because the logic clearly
assumed the only cases under consideration were transplanting of commits
with empty messages (see the comment about "There are two sources for
commits with empty messages). It didn't discuss or even consider
rewords, squashes, etc. where the user is explicitly asked for a new
commit message and provides an empty one. (My bad, I totally should
have thought about that at the time, but just didn't.)
Rewords and squashes are significantly different, though, as described
by SZEDER:
Let's suppose you start an interactive rebase, choose a commit to
squash, save the instruction sheet, rebase fires up your editor, and
then you notice that you mistakenly chose the wrong commit to
squash. What do you do, how do you abort?
Before [that commit] you could clear the commit message, exit the
editor, and then rebase would say "Aborting commit due to empty
commit message.", and you get to run 'git rebase --abort', and start
over.
But [since that commit, ...] saving the commit message as is would
let rebase continue and create a bunch of unnecessary objects, and
then you would have to use the reflog to return to the pre-rebase
state.
Also, he states:
The instructions in the commit message template, which is shown for
'reword' and 'squash', too, still say...
# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
These are sound arguments that when editing commit messages during a
sequencer operation, that if the commit message is empty then the
operation should halt and ask the user to correct. The arguments in
commit b00bf1c9a8dd (referenced above) still apply when transplanting
previously created commits with empty commit messages, so the sequencer
should not halt for those.
Furthermore, all rationale so far applies equally for cherry-pick as for
rebase. Therefore, make the code default to --allow-empty-message when
transplanting an existing commit, and to default to halting when the
user is asked to edit a commit message and provides an empty one -- for
both rebase and cherry-pick.

If passed both --no-deref and --stdin, update-ref would error out with a
general usage message that did not at all suggest these options were
incompatible. The manpage for update-ref did suggest through its
synopsis line that --no-deref and --stdin were incompatible, but it sadly
also incorrectly suggested that -d and --no-deref were incompatible. So
the help around the --no-deref option is buggy in a few ways.
The --stdin option did provide a different mechanism for avoiding
dereferencing symbolic-refs: adding a line reading
option no-deref
before every other directive in the input. (Technically, if the user
wants to do the extra work of first determining which refs they want to
update or delete are symbolic, then they only need to put the extra
"option no-deref" lines before the updates of those refs. But in some
cases, that's more work than just adding the "option no-deref" before
every other directive.)
It's easier to allow the user to just pass --no-deref along with --stdin
in order to tell update-ref that the user doesn't want any symbolic ref
to be dereferenced. It also makes the update-ref documentation simpler.
Implement that, and update the documentation to match.

there. In particular, it uses $GIT_DIR/modules/$name to find the
submodule to find out whether it already has core.worktree set, and it
uses connect_work_tree_and_git_dir if not, resulting in
fatal: could not open sub/.git for writing

reopen_tempfile(): truncate opened file
We provide a reopen_tempfile() function, which is in turn
used by reopen_lockfile(). The idea is that a caller may
want to rewrite the tempfile without letting go of the lock.
And that's what our one caller does: after running
add--interactive, "commit -p" will update the cache-tree
extension of the index and write out the result, all while
holding the lock.
However, because we open the file with only the O_WRONLY
flag, the existing index content is left in place, and we
overwrite it starting at position 0. If the new index after
updating the cache-tree is smaller than the original, those
final bytes are not overwritten and remain in the file. This
results in a corrupt index, since those cruft bytes are
interpreted as part of the trailing hash (or even as an
extension, if there are enough bytes).
This bug actually pre-dates reopen_tempfile(); the original
code from 9c4d6c0297 (cache-tree: Write updated cache-tree
after commit, 2014-07-13) has the same bug, and those lines
were eventually refactored into the tempfile module. Nobody
noticed until now for two reasons:
- the bug can only be triggered in interactive mode
("commit -p" or "commit -i")
- the size of the index must shrink after updating the
cache-tree, which implies a non-trivial deletion. Notice
that the included test actually has to create a 2-deep
hierarchy. A single level is not enough to actually cause
shrinkage.
The fix is to truncate the file before writing out the
second index. We can do that at the caller by using
ftruncate(). But we shouldn't have to do that. There is no
other place in Git where we want to open a file and
overwrite bytes, making reopen_tempfile() a confusing and
error-prone interface. Let's pass O_TRUNC there, which gives
callers the same state they had after initially opening the
file or lock.
It's possible that we could later add a caller that wants
something else (e.g., to open with O_APPEND). But this is
the only caller we've had in the history of the codebase.
Let's punt on doing anything more clever until another one
comes along.

commit: don't use generation numbers if not needed
In 3afc679b "commit: use generations in paint_down_to_common()",
the queue in paint_down_to_common() was changed to use a priority
order based on generation number before commit date. This served
two purposes:
1. When generation numbers are present, the walk guarantees
correct topological relationships, regardless of clock skew in
commit dates.
2. It enables short-circuiting the walk when the min_generation
parameter is added in d7c1ec3e "commit: add short-circuit to
paint_down_to_common()". This short-circuit helps commands
like 'git branch --contains' from needing to walk to a merge
base when we know the result is false.
The commit message for 3afc679b includes the following sentence:
This change does not affect the number of commits that are
walked during the execution of paint_down_to_common(), only
the order that those commits are inspected.
This statement is incorrect. Because it changes the order in which
the commits are inspected, it changes the order they are added to
the queue, and hence can change the number of loops before the
queue_has_nonstale() method returns true.
This change makes a concrete difference depending on the topology
of the commit graph. For instance, computing the merge-base between
consecutive versions of the Linux kernel has no effect for versions
after v4.9, but 'git merge-base v4.8 v4.9' presents a performance
regression:
v2.18.0: 0.122s
v2.19.0-rc1: 0.547s
HEAD: 0.127s
To determine that this was simply an ordering issue, I inserted
a counter within the while loop of paint_down_to_common() and
found that the loop runs 167,468 times in v2.18.0 and 635,579
times in v2.19.0-rc1.
The topology of this case can be described in a simplified way
here:
v4.9
| \
| \
v4.8 \
| \ \
| \ |
... A B
| / /
| / /
|/__/
C
Here, the "..." means "a very long line of commits". By generation
number, A and B have generation one more than C. However, A and B
have commit date higher than most of the commits reachable from
v4.8. When the walk reaches v4.8, we realize that it has PARENT1
and PARENT2 flags, so everything it can reach is marked as STALE,
including A. B has only the PARENT1 flag, so is not STALE.
When paint_down_to_common() is run using
compare_commits_by_commit_date, A and B are removed from the queue
early and C is inserted into the queue. At this point, C and the
rest of the queue entries are marked as STALE. The loop then
terminates.
When paint_down_to_common() is run using
compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date, B is removed from the
queue only after the many commits reachable from v4.8 are explored.
This causes the loop to run longer. The reason for this regression
is simple: the queue order is intended to not explore a commit
until everything that _could_ reach that commit is explored. From
the information gathered by the original ordering, we have no
guarantee that there is not a commit D reachable from v4.8 that
can also reach B. We gained absolute correctness in exchange for
a performance regression.
The performance regression is probably the worse option, since
these incorrect results in paint_down_to_common() are rare. The
topology required for the performance regression are less rare,
but still require multiple merge commits where the parents differ
greatly in generation number. In our example above, the commit A
is as important as the commit B to demonstrate the problem, since
otherwise the commit C will sit in the queue as non-stale just as
long in both orders.
The solution provided uses the min_generation parameter to decide
if we should use generation numbers in our ordering. When
min_generation is equal to zero, it means that the caller has no
known cutoff for the walk, so we should rely on our commit-date
heuristic as before; this is the case with merge_bases_many().
When min_generation is non-zero, then the caller knows a valuable
cutoff for the short-circuit mechanism; this is the case with
remove_redundant() and in_merge_bases_many().

Using git-am (or am-based rebase) to apply the changes from branch onto
master results in the following tree:
Result: bar_merged, goo/{file1, file2, file3}
This is not what users want; they did not rename foo/ -> goo/, they only
renamed one file within that directory. The reason this happens is am
constructs fake trees (via build_fake_ancestor()) of the following form:
You can see that merge_recursive_generic() would see branch_bfa as renaming
foo/ -> goo/, and master as just adding both foo/file1 and foo/file2. As
such, it ends up with goo/{file1, file2, file3}
The core problem is that am does not have access to the original trees; it
can only construct trees using the blobs involved in the patch. As such,
it is not safe to perform directory rename detection within am -3.

t3401: add another directory rename testcase for rebase and am
Similar to commit 16346883ab ("t3401: add directory rename testcases for
rebase and am", 2018-06-27), add another testcase for directory rename
detection. This new testcase differs in that it showcases a situation
where no directory rename was performed, but which some backends
incorrectly detect.
As with the other testcase, run this in conjunction with each of the
types of rebases:
git-rebase--interactive
git-rebase--am
git-rebase--merge
and also use the same testcase for
git am --3way

.gitattributes: add conflict-marker-size for relevant files
Some files in git.git contain lines that look like conflict markers,
either in examples or tests, or in the case of Documentation/gitk.txt
because of the asciidoc heading.
Having conflict markers the same length as the actual content can be
confusing for humans, and is impossible to handle for tools like 'git
rerere'. Work around that by setting the 'conflict-marker-size'
attribute for those files to 32, which makes the conflict markers
unambiguous.

chainlint: match "quoted" here-doc tags
A here-doc tag can be quoted ('EOF'/"EOF") or escaped (\EOF) to suppress
interpolation within the body. chainlint recognizes single-quoted and
escaped tags, but does not know about double-quoted tags. For
completeness, teach it to recognize double-quoted tags, as well.
