René Scharfe 8828f2985f use child_process_init() to initialize struct child_process variables
Call child_process_init() instead of zeroing the memory of variables of
type struct child_process by hand before use because the former is both

René Scharfe a915459097 use env_array member of struct child_process
Convert users of struct child_process to using the managed env_array for
specifying environment variables instead of supplying an array on the
stack or bringing their own argv_array.  This shortens and simplifies
the code and ensures automatically that the allocated memory is freed
after use.

Ronnie Sahlberg 7695d118e5 refs.c: change resolve_ref_unsafe reading argument to be a flags field
resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref
resolves successfully for writing but not for reading).  Change this to be
a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when
we want this behaviour.

While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output
arguments at the end.  As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can
catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited.

Give the wrapper functions resolve_refdup and read_ref_full the same
treatment for consistency.

Junio C Hamano 0ea47f9d33 signed push: teach smart-HTTP to pass "git push --signed" around
The "--signed" option received by "git push" is first passed to the
transport layer, which the native transport directly uses to notice
that a push certificate needs to be sent.  When the transport-helper
is involved, however, the option needs to be told to the helper with
set_helper_option(), and the helper needs to take necessary action.
For the smart-HTTP helper, the "necessary action" involves spawning
the "git send-pack" subprocess with the "--signed" option.

Once the above all gets wired in, the smart-HTTP transport now can
use the push certificate mechanism to authenticate its pushes.

Add a test that is modeled after tests for the native transport in
t5534-push-signed.sh to t5541-http-push-smart.sh.  Update the test
Apache configuration to pass GNUPGHOME environment variable through.
As PassEnv would trigger warnings for an environment variable that
is not set, export it from test-lib.sh set to a harmless value when
GnuPG is not being used in the tests.

Note that the added test is deliberately loose and does not check
the nonce in this step.  This is because the stateless RPC mode is
inevitably flaky and a nonce that comes back in the actual push
processing is one issued by a different process; if the two
interactions with the server crossed a second boundary, the nonces
will not match and such a check will fail.  A later patch in the
series will work around this shortcoming.

Jeff King 21a2d4ada5 transport-helper: avoid reading past end-of-string
We detect the "import-marks" capability by looking for that
string, but _without_ a trailing space. Then we skip past it
using strlen("import-marks "), with a space. So if a remote
helper gives us exactly "import-marks", we will read past
the end-of-string by one character.

This is unlikely to be a problem in practice, because such
input is malformed in the first place, and because there is
a good chance that the string has an extra NUL terminator
one character after the original (because it formerly had a
newline in it that we parsed off).

We can fix it by using skip_prefix with "import-marks ",
with the space. The other form appears to be a typo from
a515ebe (transport-helper: implement marks location as
capability, 2011-07-16); "import-marks" has never existed
without an argument, and it should match the "export-marks"
definition above.

Speaking of which, we can also use skip_prefix in a few
other places while we are in the function.

then have to later clean up the memory manually after

using run-command's internal argv_array, which handles
cleanup for us.

This also prevents a memory leak in the case that
transport_take_over is used, in which case we free the child
in finish_connect, which does not manually free the array.

Felipe Contreras 3994e64d77 transport-helper: fix sync issue on crashes
When a remote helper crashes while pushing we should revert back to the
state before the push, however, it's possible that `git fast-export`
already finished its job, and therefore has exported the marks already.

This creates a synchronization problem because from that moment on
`git fast-{import,export}` will have marks that the remote helper is not
aware of and all further commands fail (if those marks are referenced).

The fix is to tell `git fast-export` to export to a temporary file, and
only after the remote helper has finishes successfully, move to the
final destination.

If the the transport helper says it was a forced update, then it is
a forced update.  It is however possible that an update is forced
without the transport-helper knowing about it, namely because some
higher up code had objections to the update and needed forcing in
order to let it through to the transport helper.  In other words, it
does not necessarily mean the update was *not* forced, when the
helper did not say "forced update".

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.

The machinery is more or less ready.  The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).

The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily).  It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

Jeff King 4621085b7e add missing "format" function attributes
For most of our functions that take printf-like formats, we
use gcc's __attribute__((format)) to get compiler warnings
when the functions are misused. Let's give a few more
functions the same protection.

In most cases, the annotations do not uncover any actual
bugs; the only code change needed is that we passed a size_t
to transfer_debug, which expected an int. Since we expect
the passed-in value to be a relatively small buffer size
(and cast a similar value to int directly below), we can
just cast away the problem.

Jeff King 266f1fdfa9 transport-helper: be quiet on read errors from helpers
Prior to commit 81d340d4, we did not print any error message
if a remote transport helper died unexpectedly. If a helper
did not print any error message (e.g., because it crashed),
the user could be left confused. That commit tried to
rectify the situation by printing a note that the helper
exited unexpectedly.

However, this makes a much more common case worse: when a
helper does die with a useful message, we print the extra
"Reading from 'git-remote-foo failed" message. This can also
end up confusing users, as they may not even know what
remote helpers are (e.g., the fact that http support comes
through git-remote-https is purely an implementation detail
that most users do not know or care about).

Since we do not have a good way of knowing whether the
helper printed a useful error, and since the common failure
mode is for it to do so, let's default to remaining quiet.
Debuggers can dig further by setting GIT_TRANSPORT_HELPER_DEBUG.

Junio C Hamano 99d9ec0906 Merge branch 'fc/transport-helper-no-refspec'
With "export" remote-helper protocol,

 (1) a push that tries to update a remote ref whose name is
     different from the pushing side does not work yet, and

 (2) the helper may not know how to do --dry-run

Detect such problematic cases and disable them for now.

* fc/transport-helper-no-refspec:
  transport-helper: check if the dry-run is supported
  transport-helper: barf when user tries old:new

Junio C Hamano 766f0f8ef7 Merge branch 'fc/transport-helper-error-reporting'

used to keep track of remote helper state better.

  t5801: "VAR=VAL shell_func args" is forbidden
