In prepare_attr_stack, we pop the old elements of the stack
(which were left from a previous lookup and may or may not
be useful to us). Our loop to do so checks that we never
reach the top of the stack. However, the code immediately
afterwards will segfault if we did actually reach the top of
the stack.
Fortunately, this is not an actual bug, since we will never
pop all of the stack elements (we will always keep the root
gitattributes, as well as the builtin ones). So the extra
check in the loop condition simply clutters the code and
makes the intent less clear. Let's get rid of it.

When we prepare the attribute stack for a lookup on a path,
we start with the cached stack from the previous lookup
(because it is common to do several lookups in the same
directory hierarchy). So the first thing we must do in
preparing the stack is to pop any entries that point to
directories we are no longer interested in.
For example, if our stack contains gitattributes for:
foo/bar/baz
foo/bar
foo
but we want to do a lookup in "foo/bar/bleep", then we want
to pop the top element, but retain the others.
To do this we walk down the stack from the top, popping
elements that do not match our lookup directory. However,
the test do this simply checked strncmp, meaning we would
mistake "foo/bar/baz" as a leading directory of
"foo/bar/baz_plus". We must also check that the character
after our match is '/', meaning we matched the whole path
component.
There are two special cases to consider:
1. The top of our attr stack has the empty path. So we
must not check for '/', but rather special-case the
empty path, which always matches.
2. Typically when matching paths in this way, you would
also need to check for a full string match (i.e., the
character after is '\0'). We don't need to do so in
this case, though, because our path string is actually
just the directory component of the path to a file
(i.e., we know that it terminates with "/", because the
filename comes after that).

When core.ignorecase is true, the file globs configured in the
.gitattributes file should be matched case-insensitively against the paths
in the working directory. Let's do so.
Plus, add some tests.
The last set of tests is performed only on a case-insensitive filesystem.
Those tests make sure that git handles the case where the .gitignore file
resides in a subdirectory and the user supplies a path that does not match
the case in the filesystem. In that case^H^H^H^Hsituation, part of the
path supplied by the user is effectively interpreted case-insensitively,
and part of it is dependent on the setting of core.ignorecase. git will
currently only match the portion of the path below the directory holding
the .gitignore file according to the setting of core.ignorecase.
This is also partly future-proofing. Currently, git builds the attr stack
based on the path supplied by the user, so we don't have to do anything
special (like use strcmp_icase) to handle the parts of that path that don't
match the filesystem with respect to case. If git instead built the attr
stack by scanning the repository, then the paths in the origin field would
not necessarily match the paths supplied by the user. If someone makes a
change like that in the future, these tests will notice.

This code calls git_config from a helper function to parse the config entry
it is interested in. Calling git_config in this way may cause a problem if
the helper function can be called after a previous call to git_config by
another function since the second call to git_config may reset some
variable to the value in the config file which was previously overridden.
The above is not a problem in this case since the function passed to
git_config only parses one config entry and the variable it sets is not
assigned outside of the parsing function. But a programmer who desires
all of the standard config options to be parsed may be tempted to modify
git_attr_config() so that it falls back to git_default_config() and then it
_would_ be vulnerable to the above described behavior.
So, move the call to git_config up into the top-level cmd_* function and
move the responsibility for parsing core.attributesfile into the main
config file parser.
Which is only the logical thing to do ;-)

Additionally, the call to malloc in compat/win32/syslog.c was not modified

This code sequence performs a strcpy into the buf member of a strbuf
struct. The strcpy may move the position of the terminating nul of the
string and effectively change the length of string so that it does not
match the len member of the strbuf struct.
Currently, this sequence works since the strbuf was given a hint when it
was initialized to allocate enough space to accomodate the string that will
be strcpy'ed, but this is an implementation detail of strbufs, not a
guarantee.
So, lets rework this sequence so that the strbuf is only manipulated by
strbuf functions, and direct modification of its "buf" member is not
necessary.

Shifting 'unsigned char' or 'unsigned short' left can result in sign
extension errors, since the C integer promotion rules means that the
unsigned char/short will get implicitly promoted to a signed 'int' due to
the shift (or due to other operations).
This normally doesn't matter, but if you shift things up sufficiently, it
will now set the sign bit in 'int', and a subsequent cast to a bigger type
(eg 'long' or 'unsigned long') will now sign-extend the value despite the
original expression being unsigned.
One example of this would be something like
unsigned long size;
unsigned char c;
size += c << 24;
where despite all the variables being unsigned, 'c << 24' ends up being a
signed entity, and will get sign-extended when then doing the addition in
an 'unsigned long' type.
Since git uses 'unsigned char' pointers extensively, we actually have this
bug in a couple of places.
I may have missed some, but this is the result of looking at
git grep '[^0-9 ][ ]*<<[ ][a-z]' -- '*.c' '*.h'
git grep '<<[ ]*24'
which catches at least the common byte cases (shifting variables by a
variable amount, and shifting by 24 bits).
I also grepped for just 'unsigned char' variables in general, and
converted the ones that most obviously ended up getting implicitly cast
immediately anyway (eg hash_name(), encode_85()).
In addition to just avoiding 'unsigned char', this patch also tries to use
a common idiom for the delta header size thing. We had three different
variations on it: "& 0x7fUL" in one place (getting the sign extension
right), and "& ~0x80" and "& 0x7f" in two other places (not getting it
right). Apart from making them all just avoid using "unsigned char" at
all, I also unified them to then use a simple "& 0x7f".
I considered making a sparse extension which warns about doing implicit
casts from unsigned types to signed types, but it gets rather complex very
quickly, so this is just a hack.

and otherwise read from the index as a fallback. When switching to a

different attributes to other paths being checked out, we should instead
read from the .gitattributes in the index.
This breaks a use case of fixing incorrect entries in the .gitattributes

Attributes can be specified at three different places: the internal
table of default values, the file $GIT_DIR/info/attributes and files
named .gitattributes in the work tree. Since bare repositories don't
have a work tree, git should ignore any .gitattributes files there.
This patch makes git do that, so the only way left for a user to specify
attributes in a bare repository is the file info/attributes (in addition
to changing the defaults and recompiling).
In addition, git-check-attr is now allowed to run without a work tree.
Like any user of the code in attr.c, it ignores the .gitattributes files
when run in a bare repository. It can still read from info/attributes.

This allows you to define three values (and possibly more) to
each attribute: true, false, and unset.
Typically the handlers that notice and act on attribute values
treat "unset" attribute to mean "do your default thing"
(e.g. crlf that is unset would trigger "guess from contents"),
so being able to override a setting to an unset state is
actually useful.
- If you want to set the attribute value to true, have an entry
in .gitattributes file that mentions the attribute name; e.g.
*.o binary
- If you want to set the attribute value explicitly to false,
use '-'; e.g.
*.a -diff
- If you want to make the attribute value _unset_, perhaps to
override an earlier entry, use '!'; e.g.
*.a -diff
c.i.a !diff
This also allows string values to attributes, with the natural
syntax:
attrname=attrvalue
but you cannot use it, as nobody takes notice and acts on
it yet.

This adds "attribute macros" (for lack of better name). So far,
we have low-level attributes such as crlf and diff, which are
defined in operational terms --- setting or unsetting them on a
particular path directly affects what is done to the path. For
example, in order to decline diffs or crlf conversions on a
binary blob, no diffs on PostScript files, and treat all other
files normally, you would have something like these:
* diff crlf
*.ps !diff
proprietary.o !diff !crlf
That is fine as the operation goes, but gets unwieldy rather
rapidly, when we start adding more low-level attributes that are
defined in operational terms. A near-term example of such an
attribute would be 'merge-3way' which would control if git
should attempt the usual 3-way file-level merge internally, or
leave merging to a specialized external program of user's
choice. When it is added, we do _not_ want to force the users
to update the above to:
* diff crlf merge-3way
*.ps !diff
proprietary.o !diff !crlf !merge-3way
The way this patch solves this issue is to realize that the
attributes the user is assigning to paths are not defined in
terms of operations but in terms of what they are.
All of the three low-level attributes usually make sense for
most of the files that sane SCM users have git operate on (these
files are typically called "text'). Only a few cases, such as
binary blob, need exception to decline the "usual treatment
given to text files" -- and people mark them as "binary".
So this allows the $GIT_DIR/info/alternates and .gitattributes
at the toplevel of the project to also specify attributes that
assigns other attributes. The syntax is '[attr]' followed by an
attribute name followed by a list of attribute names:
[attr] binary !diff !crlf !merge-3way
When "binary" attribute is set to a path, if the path has not
got diff/crlf/merge-3way attribute set or unset by other rules,
this rule unsets the three low-level attributes.
It is expected that the user level .gitattributes will be
expressed mostly in terms of attributes based on what the files
are, and the above sample would become like this:
(built-in attribute configuration)
[attr] binary !diff !crlf !merge-3way
* diff crlf merge-3way
(project specific .gitattributes)
proprietary.o binary
(user preference $GIT_DIR/info/attributes)
*.ps !diff
There are a few caveats.
* As described above, you can define these macros only in
$GIT_DIR/info/attributes and toplevel .gitattributes.
* There is no attempt to detect circular definition of macro
attributes, and definitions are evaluated from bottom to top
as usual to fill in other attributes that have not yet got
values. The following would work as expected:
[attr] text diff crlf
[attr] ps text !diff
*.ps ps
while this would most likely not (I haven't tried):
[attr] ps text !diff
[attr] text diff crlf
*.ps ps
* When a macro says "[attr] A B !C", saying that a path does
not have attribute A does not let you tell anything about
attributes B or C. That is, given this:
[attr] text diff crlf
[attr] ps text !diff
*.txt !ps
path hello.txt, which would match "*.txt" pattern, would have
"ps" attribute set to zero, but that does not make text
attribute of hello.txt set to false (nor diff attribute set to
true).

This defines the semantics of 'crlf' attribute as an example.
When a path has this attribute unset (i.e. '!crlf'), autocrlf

Eventually we would want to let users to build a pipeline of
processing to munge blob data to filesystem format (and in the
other direction) based on combination of attributes, and at that
point the mechanism in convert_to_{git,working_tree}() that
looks at 'crlf' attribute needs to be enhanced. Perhaps the
existing 'crlf' would become the first step in the input chain,
and the last step in the output chain.

This adds the basic infrastructure to assign attributes to
paths, in a way similar to what the exclusion mechanism does
based on $GIT_DIR/info/exclude and .gitignore files.
An attribute is just a simple string that does not contain any
whitespace. They can be specified in $GIT_DIR/info/attributes
file, and .gitattributes file in each directory.
Each line in these files defines a pattern matching rule.
Similar to the exclusion mechanism, a later match overrides an
earlier match in the same file, and entries from .gitattributes
file in the same directory takes precedence over the ones from
parent directories. Lines in $GIT_DIR/info/attributes file are
used as the lowest precedence default rules.
A line is either a comment (an empty line, or a line that begins
with a '#'), or a rule, which is a whitespace separated list of
tokens. The first token on the line is a shell glob pattern.
The rest are names of attributes, each of which can optionally
be prefixed with '!'. Such a line means "if a path matches this
glob, this attribute is set (or unset -- if the attribute name
is prefixed with '!'). For glob matching, the same "if the
pattern does not have a slash in it, the basename of the path is
matched with fnmatch(3) against the pattern, otherwise, the path
is matched with the pattern with FNM_PATHNAME" rule as the
exclusion mechanism is used.
This does not define what an attribute means. Tying an
attribute to various effects it has on git operation for paths
that have it will be specified separately.
