A Git client may produce a "remote error:" message (along with whatever
error the other side sent us) in two places:
- when we see an ERR packet
- when we're using a sideband and see sideband 3
We can't reliably translate the message the other side sent us, but we
can do so for our own prefix. However, we translate only the ERR-packet
case but not the sideband-3 case. Let's make them consistent (by marking
both for translation).

When there is no need to run a specific function on certain platforms,
we often #define an empty function to swallow its parameters and
make it into a no-op, e.g.
#define precompose_argv(c,v) /* no-op */
While this guarantees that no unneeded code is generated, it also
discards type and other checks on these parameters, e.g. a new code
written with the argv-array API (diff_args is of type "struct
argv_array" that has .argc and .argv members):
precompose_argv(diff_args.argc, diff_args.argv);
must be updated to use "struct strvec diff_args" with .nr and .v
members, like so:
precompose_argv(diff_args.nr, diff_args.v);
after the argv-array API has been updated to the strvec API.
However, the "no oop" C preprocessor macro is too aggressive to
discard what is unused, and did not catch such a call that was left
unconverted.
Using a "static inline" function whose body is a no-op should still
result in the same binary with decent compilers yet catch such a
reference to a missing field or passing a value of a wrong type.
While at it, I notice that precompute_str() has never been used
anywhere in the code, since it was introduced at 76759c7d (git on
Mac OS and precomposed unicode, 2012-07-08). Instead of turning it
into a static inline, just remove it.

Drop whitespace in the value of `$test_description` and in a test body
and use `test_write_lines`.
Stop defining `$u` with a trailing space just so that we can tuck it in
like `git foo $u$more...` and get minimal whitespace in the command:
`git foo $u $more...` is more readable at the "cost" of an empty `$u`
yielding `git foo something...`.
Finally, avoid using single quotes within the test scripts to repeatedly
close and reopen the quotes that wrap the test scripts (see the previous
commit). This "unnecessary" quoting does mean that the verbose test
output shows the interpolated values, i.e., the shell code we're
running. But the downside is that the source of the script does *not*
show the shell code we're eventually executing, leaving the reader to
reason about what we really do and whether there are any quoting issues.
(There aren't.)
Where we run through loops to generate several "identical but different"
tests, the test message contains the interpolated variables we're
looping on, meaning one can always identify exactly which instance has
failed, even if the verbose test output shows the exact same test body
several times.

In the test scripts, the recommended style is, e.g.:
test_expect_success 'name' '
do-something somehow &&
do-some-more testing
'
When using this style, any single quote in the multi-line test section
is actually closing the lone single quotes that surround it.
It can be a non-issue in practice:
test_expect_success 'sed a little' '
sed -e 's/hi/lo/' in >out # "ok": no whitespace in s/hi/lo/
'
Or it can be a bug in the test, e.g., because variable interpolation
happens before the test even begins executing:
v=abc
test_expect_success 'variable interpolation' '
v=def &&
echo '"$v"' # abc
'
Change several such in-test single quotes to use double quotes instead
or, in a few cases, drop them altogether. These were identified using
some crude grepping. We're not fixing any test bugs here, but we're
hopefully making these tests slightly easier to grok and to maintain.
There are legitimate use cases for closing a quote and opening a new
one, e.g., both '\'' and '"'"' can be used to produce a literal single
quote. I'm not touching any of those here.
In t9401, tuck the redirecting ">" to the filename while we're touching

diff-files recently changed to treat changes to paths marked "intent to
add" in the index as new file diffs rather than diffs from the empty
blob. However, apply refuses to apply new file diffs on top of existing
index entries, except in the case of renames. This causes "git add -p",
which uses apply, to fail when attempting to stage hunks from a file
when intent to add has been recorded.
This changes the logic in check_to_create() which checks if an entry
already exists in an index in two ways: first, we only search for an
index entry at all if ok_if_exists is false; second, we check for the
CE_INTENT_TO_ADD flag on any index entries we find and allow the apply
to proceed if it is set.

This patch introduces handling of missing objects to help
debugging and development of the "partial clone" mechanism,
and once the mechanism is implemented, for a power user to
perform operations that are missing-object aware without
incurring the cost of checking if a missing link is expected.
The idea that these options are missing-object aware (and thus do not
need to lazily fetch objects, unlike unaware commands that assume that
all objects are present) are assumed in later commits such as 07ef3c6604
("fetch test: use more robust test for filtered objects", 2020-01-15).
However, the current implementations of these options use
has_object_file(), which indeed lazily fetches missing objects. Teach
these implementations not to do so. Also, update the documentation of
these options to be clearer.

There have been a few bugs wherein Git fetches missing objects whenever
the existence of an object is checked, even though it does not need to
perform such a fetch. To resolve these bugs, we could look at all the
places that has_object_file() (or a similar function) is used. As a
first step, introduce a new function has_object() that checks for the
existence of an object, with a default behavior of not fetching if the
object is missing and the repository is a partial clone. As we verify
each has_object_file() (or similar) usage, we can replace it with
has_object(), and we will know that we are done when we can delete
has_object_file() (and the other similar functions).
Also, the new function has_object() has more appropriate defaults:
besides not fetching, it also does not recheck packed storage.

The tests added to t5616 in 6dd3456a8c (upload-pack.c: allow banning
certain object filter(s), 2020-08-03) can fail racily, but only with
GETTEXT_POISON enabled.
The tests in question look something like this:
test_must_fail ok=sigpipe git clone --filter=blob:none ... 2>err &&
grep "filter blob:none not supported' err
The remote upload-pack process writes that error message both as an ERR
packet, but also via a die() message. In theory we should see the
message twice in the "err" file. The client relays the message from the
packet to its stderr (with a "remote error:" prefix), and because this
is a local-system clone, upload-pack's stderr goes to the same place.
But because clone may be writing to the pipe when upload-pack calls
die(), it may get SIGPIPE and fail to relay the message. That's why we
need our "ok=sigpipe" trick. But our grep should still work reliably in
that case. Either:
- we got SIGPIPE on the client, which means upload-pack completed its
die(), and we'll see that version of the message.
- the client didn't get SIGPIPE, and so it successfully relays the
message.
In theory we'd see both copies of the message in the second case. But
now always! As soon as the client sees ERR, it exits and we run grep.
But we have no guarantee that the upload-pack process has exited at this
point, or even written its die() message. We might only see the client
version of the message.
Normally that's OK. We only need to see one or the other to pass the
test. But now consider GETTEXT_POISON. upload-pack doesn't translate the
die() message nor the ERR packet. But once the client receives it, it
calls:
die(_("remote error: %s"), buffer + 4);
That message _is_ marked for translation. Normally we'd just replace the
"remote error:" portion of it, but in GETTEXT_POISON mode, we replace
the whole thing with "# GETTEXT POISON #" and don't include the "%s"
part at all. So the whole text from the ERR packet is dropped, and so we
may racily see a test failure if upload-pack's die() call wasn't yet
written.
We can fix it by using test_i18ngrep, which just makes this grep a noop
in the poison mode.

Running t4216 with ASan results in it complaining of an out-of-bounds
read in prepare_to_use_bloom_filter(). The issue is this code to strip a
trailing slash:
last_index = pi->len - 1;
if (pi->match[last_index] == '/') {
because we have no guarantee that pi->len isn't zero. This can happen if
the pathspec is ".", as we translate that to an empty string. And if
that read of random memory does trigger the conditional, we'd then do an
out-of-bounds write:
path_alloc = xstrdup(pi->match);
path_alloc[last_index] = '\0';
Let's make sure to check the length before subtracting. Note that for an
empty pathspec, we'd end up bailing from the function a few lines later,
which makes it tempting to just:
if (!pi->len)
return;
early here. But our code here is stripping a trailing slash, and we need
to check for emptiness after stripping that slash, too. So we'd have two
blocks, which would require repeating some cleanup code.
Instead, just skip the trailing-slash for an empty string. Setting
last_index at all in the case is awkward since it will have a nonsense
value (and it uses an "int", which is a too-small type for a string
anyway). So while we're here, let's:
- drop last_index entirely; it's only used in two spots right next to
each other and writing out "pi->len - 1" in both is actually easier
to follow
- use xmemdupz() to duplicate the string. This is slightly more
efficient, but more importantly makes the intent more clear by
allocating the correct-sized substring in the first place. It also
eliminates any question of whether path_alloc is as long as
pi->match (which it would not be if pi->match has any embedded NULs,
though in practice this is probably impossible).

| ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
config.c:3076:7: note: at offset -1 to object ‘buf’ with size 1024 declared here
3076 | char buf[1024];
| ^~~
This is a false positive. The interesting lines of code are:
int i;
char *output = buf;
...
for (i = 0; buf[i] && isspace(buf[i]); i++)
; /* do nothing */
...
int offset;
offset = section_name_match(&buf[i], old_name);
if (offset > 0) {
...
output += offset + i;
if (strlen(output) > 0) {
/*
* More content means there's
* a declaration to put on the
* next line; indent with a
* tab
*/
output -= 1;
output[0] = '\t';
}
}
So we do assign output to buf initially. Later we increment it based on
"offset" and "i" and then subtract "1" from it. That latter step is what
the compiler is complaining about; it could lead to going off the left
side of the array if "output == buf" at the moment of the subtraction.
For that to be the case, then "offset + i" would have to be 0. But that
can't happen:
- we know that "offset" is at least 1, since we're in a conditional
block that checks that
- we know that "i" is not negative, since it started at 0 and only
incremented over whitespace
So the sum must be at least 1, and therefore it's OK to subtract one
from "output".
But that's not quite the whole story. Since "i" is an int, it could in
theory be possible to overflow to negative (when counting whitespace on
a very large string). But we know that's impossible because we're
counting the 1024-byte buffer we just fed to fgets(), so it can never be
larger than that.
Switching the type of "i" to "unsigned" makes the warning go away, so
let's do that.
Arguably size_t is an even better type (for this and for the other
length fields), but switching to it produces a similar but distinct
warning:
config.c: In function ‘git_config_copy_or_rename_section_in_file’:
config.c:3170:13: error: array subscript -1 is outside array bounds of ‘char[1024]’ [-Werror=array-bounds]
3170 | output[0] = '\t';
| ~~~~~~^~~
config.c:3076:7: note: while referencing ‘buf’
3076 | char buf[1024];
| ^~~
If we were to ever switch off of fgets() to strbuf_getline() or similar,
we'd probably need to use size_t to avoid other overflow problems. But
for now we know we're safe because of the small fixed size of our
buffer.

In b79cf959b2 (upload-pack.c: allow banning certain object filter(s),
2020-02-26), we introduced functionality to disallow certain object
filters from being chosen from within 'git upload-pack'. Traditionally,
administrators use this functionality to disallow filters that are known
to perform slowly, for e.g., those that do not have bitmap-level
filtering.
In the past, the '--filter=tree:<n>' was one such filter that does not
have bitmap-level filtering support, and so was likely to be banned by
administrators.
However, in the previous couple of commits, we introduced bitmap-level
filtering for the case when 'n' is equal to '0', i.e., as if we had a
'--filter=tree:none' choice.
While it would be sufficient to simply write
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true
(since it would allow all values of 'n'), we would like to be able to
allow this filter for certain values of 'n', i.e., those no greater than
some pre-specified maximum.
In order to do this, introduce a new configuration key, as follows:
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth <m>
where '<m>' specifies the maximum allowed value of 'n' in the filter
'tree:n'. Administrators who wish to allow for only the value '0' can
write:
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.allow true
$ git config uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth 0
which allows '--filter=tree:0', but no other values.

Git clients may ask the server for a partial set of objects, where the
set of objects being requested is refined by one or more object filters.
Server administrators can configure 'git upload-pack' to allow or ban
these filters by setting the 'uploadpack.allowFilter' variable to
'true' or 'false', respectively.
However, administrators using bitmaps may wish to allow certain kinds of
object filters, but ban others. Specifically, they may wish to allow
object filters that can be optimized by the use of bitmaps, while
rejecting other object filters which aren't and represent a perceived
performance degradation (as well as an increased load factor on the
server).
Allow configuring 'git upload-pack' to support object filters on a
case-by-case basis by introducing two new configuration variables:
- 'uploadpackfilter.allow'
- 'uploadpackfilter.<kind>.allow'
where '<kind>' may be one of 'blobNone', 'blobLimit', 'tree', and so on.
Setting the second configuration variable for any valid value of
'<kind>' explicitly allows or disallows restricting that kind of object
filter.
If a client requests the object filter <kind> and the respective
configuration value is not set, 'git upload-pack' will default to the
value of 'uploadpackfilter.allow', which itself defaults to 'true' to
maintain backwards compatibility. Note that this differs from
'uploadpack.allowfilter', which controls whether or not the 'filter'
capability is advertised.

test is marked test_expect_failure, meaning it can't provide much value,
other than possibly confusing future folks who come along and try to
work on attributes and look at existing tests. Because of all these
problems, just remove the test.
But for any future code spelunkers, here's my understanding of the two
possible correct answers:
This test was set up so that on a branch with no .gitattributes file,
you cherry-picked a patch from a branch that had a .gitattributes file
(containing '* text=auto'). Further, the two branches had a file which
differed only in line endings. In this situation, correct behavior is
not well defined: should the .gitattributes file affect the merge or
not?
If the .gitattributes file on the other branch should not affect the
merge, then we would have a content conflict with all three stages
different (the merge base didn't match either side).
If the .gitattributes file from the other branch should affect the
merge, then we would expect the line endings to be normalized to LF for
the version to be recorded in the repository. This would mean that when
doing a three-way content merge on the file that differed in line
endings, that the three-way content merge would see that the versions on
both sides matched and so the cherry-pick has no conflicts and can
succeed. The line endings in the file as recorded in the repository
will change from CRLF to LF. The version checked out in the working
copy will depend on the platform (since there's no eol attribute defined
for the file).
Also, as a final side note, this test expected an error message that was
built assuming cherry-pick was the old scripted version, because
cherry-pick no longer uses the error message that was encoded in this
test. So it was wrong for yet another reason.
Given that the handling of .gitattributes is not well defined and this
test was obviously broken and could do nothing but confuse future
readers, just remove it.

t6038 had a pair of tests that were expected to fail, but weren't
failing for the expected reason. Both were meant to do a merge that
could be done cleanly after renormalization, but were supposed to fail
for lack of renormalization. Unfortunately, both tests had staged
changes, and checkout -m would abort due to the presence of those staged
changes before even attempting a merge.
Fix this first issue by utilizing git-restore instead of git-checkout,
so that the index is left alone and just the working directory gets the
changes we want.
However, there is a second issue with these tests. Technically, they
just wanted to verify that after renormalization, no conflicts would be
present. This could have been checked for by grepping for a lack of
conflict markers, but the test instead tried to compare the working
directory files to an expected result. Unfortunately, the setting of
"text=auto" without setting core.eol to any value meant that the content
of the file (in particular, the line endings) would be
platform-dependent and the tests could only pass on some platforms.
Replace the existing comparison with a call to 'git diff --no-index
--ignore-cr-at-eol' to verify that the contents, other than possible
carriage returns in the file, match the expected results and in
particular that the file has no conflicts from the checkout -m
operation.

Write the hexadecimal object ID directly into the destination buffer
using oid_to_hex_r() instead of writing it into a static buffer first
using oid_to_hex() and then copying it from there using memcpy().
This is shorter, simpler and a bit more efficient.

We use
printf '\0'
to generate a NUL byte which we then `dd` into the packfile to ensure
that we modify the first byte of the first object, thereby
(probabilistically) invalidating the checksum. Except the single quotes
we're using are interpreted to match with the ones we enclose the whole
test in. So we actually execute
printf \0
and end up injecting the ASCII code for "0", 0x30, instead.
The comment right above this `printf` invocation says that "at least one
of [the type bits] is not zero, so setting the first byte to 0 is
sufficient". Substituting "0x30" for "0" in that comment won't do: we'd
need to reason about which bits go where and just what the packfile
looks like that we're modifying in this test.
Let's avoid all of that by actually executing
printf "\0"
to generate a NUL byte, as intended.

In order for "git-worktree list" to present consistent results,
get_main_worktree() performs manual normalization on the repository
path (returned by get_common_dir()) after passing it through
strbuf_add_absolute_path(). In particular, it cleans up the path for
three distinct cases when the current working directory is (1) the main
worktree, (2) the .git/ subdirectory, or (3) a bare repository.
The need for such special-cases is a direct consequence of employing
strbuf_add_absolute_path() which, for the sake of efficiency, doesn't
bother normalizing the path (such as folding out redundant path
components) after making it absolute. Lack of normalization is not
typically a problem since redundant path elements make no difference
when working with paths at the filesystem level. However, when preparing
paths for presentation, possible redundant path components make it
difficult to ensure consistency.
Eliminate the need for these special cases by instead making the path
absolute via strbuf_add_real_path() which normalizes the path for us.
Once normalized, the only case we need to handle manually is converting
it to the path of the main worktree by stripping the "/.git" suffix.
This stripping of the "/.git" suffix is a regular idiom in
worktree-related code; for instance, it is employed by
get_linked_worktree(), as well.

The content of .git/worktrees/<id>/gitdir must be a path of the form
"/path/to/worktree/.git". Any other content would be indicative of a
corrupt "gitdir" file. To determine the path of the worktree itself one
merely strips the "/.git" suffix, and this is indeed how the worktree
path was determined from inception.
However, 5193490442 (worktree: add a function to get worktree details,
2015-10-08) extended the path manipulation in a mysterious way. If it is
unable to strip "/.git" from the path, then it instead reports the
current working directory as the linked worktree's path:
if (!strbuf_strip_suffix(&worktree_path, "/.git")) {
strbuf_reset(&worktree_path);
strbuf_add_absolute_path(&worktree_path, ".");
strbuf_strip_suffix(&worktree_path, "/.");
}
This logic is clearly bogus; it can never be generally correct behavior.
It materialized out of thin air in 5193490442 with neither explanation
nor tests to illustrate a case in which it would be desirable.
It's possible that this logic was introduced to somehow deal with a
corrupt "gitdir" file, so that it returns _some_ sort of meaningful
value, but returning the current working directory is not helpful. In
fact, it is quite misleading (except in the one specific case when the
current directory is the worktree whose "gitdir" entry is corrupt).
Moreover, reporting the corrupt value to the user, rather than fibbing
about it and hiding it outright, is more helpful since it may aid in
diagnosing the problem.
Therefore, drop this bogus path munging and restore the logic to the
original behavior of merely stripping "/.git".

added a new format for ref-filter, and added a function to generate
tests for this new feature in t6300. Unfortunately, it tries to run
`test_expect_sucess' instead of `test_expect_success', and writes
$expect to `expected', but tries to read `expect'. Those two issues
were probably unnoticed because the script only printed errors, but did
not crash. This fixes these issues.
