Currently, do_submodule_path will attempt locating the .git directory by
using read_gitfile on <path>/.git. If this fails it just assumes the
<path>/.git is actually a git directory.
This is good because it allows for handling submodules which were cloned
in a regular manner first before being added to the superproject.
Unfortunately this fails if the <path> is not actually checked out any
longer, such as by removing the directory.
Fix this by checking if the directory we found is actually a gitdir. In
the case it is not, attempt to lookup the submodule configuration and
find the name of where it is stored in the .git/modules/ directory of
the superproject.
If we can't locate the submodule configuration, this might occur because
for example a submodule gitlink was added but the corresponding
.gitmodules file was not properly updated. A die() here would not be
pleasant to the users of submodule diff formats, so instead, modify
do_submodule_path() to return an error code:
- git_pathdup_submodule() returns NULL when we fail to find a path.
- strbuf_git_path_submodule() propagates the error code to the caller.
Modify the callers of these functions to check the error code and fail
properly. This ensures we don't attempt to use a bad path that doesn't
match the corresponding submodule.
Because this change fixes add_submodule_odb() to work even if the
submodule is not checked out, update the wording of the submodule log
diff format to correctly display that the submodule is "not initialized"
instead of "not checked out"
Add tests to ensure this change works as expected.

In normalize_ceiling_entry(), we test that normalized paths end with
slash, *unless* the path to be normalized was already the root
directory.
However, normalize_path_copy() does not even enforce this condition.
Even worse: on Windows, the root directory gets translated into a
Windows directory by the Bash before being passed to `git.exe` (or
`test-path-utils.exe`), which means that we cannot even know whether
the path that was passed to us was the root directory to begin with.
This issue has already caused endless hours of trying to "fix" the
MSYS2 runtime, only to break other things due to MSYS2 ensuring that
the converted path maintains the same state as the input path with
respect to any final '/'.
So let's just forget about this test. It is non-essential to Git's
operation, anyway.

When working with paths in strbufs, we frequently want to
ensure that a directory contains a trailing slash before
appending to it. We can shorten this code (and make the
intent more obvious) by calling strbuf_complete.
Most of these cases are trivially identical conversions, but
there are two things to note:
- in a few cases we did not check that the strbuf is
non-empty (which would lead to an out-of-bounds memory
access). These were generally not triggerable in
practice, either from earlier assertions, or typically
because we would have just fed the strbuf to opendir(),
which would choke on an empty path.
- in a few cases we indexed the buffer with "original_len"
or similar, rather than the current sb->len, and it is
not immediately obvious from the diff that they are the
same. In all of these cases, I manually verified that
the strbuf does not change between the assignment and
the strbuf_complete call.
This does not convert cases which look like:
if (sb->len && !is_dir_sep(sb->buf[sb->len - 1]))
strbuf_addch(sb, '/');
as those are obviously semantically different. Some of these
cases arguably should be doing that, but that is out of
scope for this change, which aims purely for cleanup with no
behavior change (and at least it will make such sites easier
to find and examine in the future, as we can grep for
strbuf_complete).

This function strcpy's directly into a PATH_MAX-sized
buffer. There's only one caller, which feeds the git_dir into
it, so it's not easy to trigger in practice (even if you fed
a large $GIT_DIR through the environment or .git file, it
would have to actually exist and be accessible on the
filesystem to get to this point). We can fix it by moving to
a strbuf.

We use two PATH_MAX-sized buffers to represent the repo
path, and must make sure not to overflow them. We do take
care to check the lengths, but the logic is rather hard to
follow, as we use several magic numbers (e.g., "PATH_MAX -
10"). And in fact you _can_ overflow the buffer if you have
a ".git" file with an extremely long path in it.
By switching to strbufs, these problems all go away. We do,
however, retain the check that the initial input we get is
no larger than PATH_MAX. This function is an entry point for
untrusted repo names from the network, and it's a good idea
to keep a sanity check (both to avoid allocating arbitrary
amounts of memory, and also as a layer of defense against
any downstream users of the names).

If you have a function that uses git_path a lot, but would
prefer to avoid the static buffers, it's useful to keep a
single scratch buffer locally and reuse it for each call.
You used to be able to do this with git_snpath:
char buf[PATH_MAX];
foo(git_snpath(buf, sizeof(buf), "foo"));
bar(git_snpath(buf, sizeof(buf), "bar"));
but since 1a83c24, git_snpath has been replaced with
strbuf_git_path. This is good, because it removes the
arbitrary PATH_MAX limit. But using strbuf_git_path is more
awkward for two reasons:
1. It adds to the buffer, rather than replacing it. This
is consistent with other strbuf functions, but makes
reuse of a single buffer more tedious.
2. It doesn't return the buffer, so you can't format
as part of a function's arguments.
The new git_path_buf solves both of these, so you can use it
like:
struct strbuf buf = STRBUF_INIT;
foo(git_path_buf(&buf, "foo"));
bar(git_path_buf(&buf, "bar"));
strbuf_release(&buf);

One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a
constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two
drawbacks:
1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime
is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc.
2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This
is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it
correctly at least once), but many of these constant
strings appear throughout the code.
This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize"
these strings, which are essentially globals for the
lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take
ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for
subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for
defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few
common ones for global use.
Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely
document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch
them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the
git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of
the stored values), it will be much easier to have the
complete list.
Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual
declarations. We could do something clever with the macros
(e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a
declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't
that many, and it's probably better to stay away from
too-magical macros.
Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of
generating these with a script, we could get much fancier.
E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz".
But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth
the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the
function's definition.

The XDG base dir spec[1] specifies that configuration files be stored in
a subdirectory in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME. To construct such a configuration
file path, home_config_paths() can be used. However, home_config_paths()
combines distinct functionality:
1. Retrieve the home git config file path ~/.gitconfig
2. Construct the XDG config path of the file specified by `file`.
This function was introduced in commit 21cf3227 ("read (but not write)
from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file"). While the intention of the
function was to allow the home directory configuration file path and the
xdg directory configuration file path to be retrieved with one function
call, the hard-coding of the path ~/.gitconfig prevents it from being
used for other configuration files. Furthermore, retrieving a file path
relative to the user's home directory can be done with
expand_user_path(). Hence, it can be seen that home_config_paths()
introduces unnecessary complexity, especially if a user just wants to
retrieve the xdg config file path.
As such, implement a simpler function xdg_config_home() for constructing
the XDG base dir spec configuration file path. This function, together
with expand_user_path(), can replace all uses of home_config_paths().

We do not allow paths with a ".git" component to be added to
the index, as that would mean repository contents could
overwrite our repository files. However, asking "is this
path the same as .git" is not as simple as strcmp() on some
filesystems.
On NTFS (and FAT32), there exist so-called "short names" for
backwards-compatibility: 8.3 compliant names that refer to the same files
as their long names. As ".git" is not an 8.3 compliant name, a short name
is generated automatically, typically "git~1".
Depending on the Windows version, any combination of trailing spaces and
periods are ignored, too, so that both "git~1." and ".git." still refer
to the Git directory. The reason is that 8.3 stores file names shorter
than 8 characters with trailing spaces. So literally, it does not matter
for the short name whether it is padded with spaces or whether it is
shorter than 8 characters, it is considered to be the exact same.
The period is the separator between file name and file extension, and
again, an empty extension consists just of spaces in 8.3 format. So
technically, we would need only take care of the equivalent of this
regex:
(\.git {0,4}|git~1 {0,3})\. {0,3}
However, there are indications that at least some Windows versions might
be more lenient and accept arbitrary combinations of trailing spaces and
periods and strip them out. So we're playing it real safe here. Besides,
there can be little doubt about the intention behind using file names
matching even the more lenient pattern specified above, therefore we
should be fine with disallowing such patterns.
Extra care is taken to catch names such as '.\\.git\\booh' because the
backslash is marked as a directory separator only on Windows, and we want
to use this new helper function also in fsck on other platforms.
A big thank you goes to Ed Thomson and an unnamed Microsoft engineer for
the detailed analysis performed to come up with the corresponding fixes
for libgit2.
This commit adds a function to detect whether a given file name can refer
to the Git directory by mistake.
