We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where
the extra 1 is for the NUL terminator. This can be done more
simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer
overflow.
There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n)
is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no
guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some
cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the
allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that
the contents will always fill the buffer.
In each case where this patch does so, I manually examined
the control flow, and I tried to err on the side of caution.

The desired default behavior for `git_config_set` is to die
whenever an error occurs. Dying is the default for a lot of
internal functions when failures occur and is in this case the
right thing to do for most callers as otherwise we might run into
inconsistent repositories without noticing.
As some code may rely on the actual return values for
`git_config_set` we still require the ability to invoke these
functions without aborting. Rename the existing `git_config_set`
functions to `git_config_set_gently` to keep them available for
those callers.

A lot of call-sites for the existing family of `git_config_set`
functions do not check for errors that may occur, e.g. when the
configuration file is locked. In many cases we simply want to die
when such a situation arises.
Introduce wrappers that will cause the program to die in those
cases. These wrappers are temporary only to ease the transition
to let `git_config_set` die by default. They will be removed
later on when `git_config_set` itself has been replaced by
`git_config_set_gently`.

To correctly perform its testing function,
test-dump-untracked-cache should not change the state of the
untracked cache in the index.
As a previous patch makes read_index_from() change the state of
the untracked cache and as test-dump-untracked-cache indirectly
calls this function, we need a mechanism to prevent
read_index_from() from changing the untracked cache state when
it's called from test-dump-untracked-cache.

When we know that mtime on directory as given by the environment
is usable for the purpose of untracked cache, we may want the
untracked cache to be always used without any mtime test or
kernel name check being performed.
Also when we know that mtime is not usable for the purpose of
untracked cache, for example because the repo is shared over a
network file system, we may want the untracked-cache to be
automatically removed from the index.
Allow the user to express such preference by setting the
'core.untrackedCache' configuration variable, which can take
'keep', 'false', or 'true' and default to 'keep'.
When read_index_from() is called, it now adds or removes the
untracked cache in the index to respect the value of this
variable. So it does nothing if the value is `keep` or if the
variable is unset; it adds the untracked cache if the value is
`true`; and it removes the cache if the value is `false`.
`git update-index --[no-|force-]untracked-cache` still adds the
untracked cache to, or removes it, from the index, but this
shows a warning if it goes against the value of
core.untrackedCache, because the next time the index is read
the untracked cache will be added or removed if the
configuration is set to do so.
Also `--untracked-cache` used to check that the underlying
operating system and file system change `st_mtime` field of a
directory if files are added or deleted in that directory. But
because those tests take a long time, `--untracked-cache` no
longer performs them. Instead, there is now
`--test-untracked-cache` to perform the tests. This change
makes `--untracked-cache` the same as `--force-untracked-cache`.
This last change is backward incompatible and should be
mentioned in the release notes.

The error message after a failing commit_lock_file() call sometimes
looks like this, causing confusion:
$ git remote add remote git@server.com/repo.git
error: could not commit config file .git/config
# Huh?!
# I didn't want to commit anything, especially not my config file!
While in the narrow context of the lockfile module using the verb
'commit' in the error message makes perfect sense, in the broader
context of git the word 'commit' already has a very specific meaning,
hence the confusion.
Reword these error messages to say "could not write" instead of "could
not commit".
While at it, include strerror in the error messages after writing the
config file or the credential store fails to provide some information
about the cause of the failure, and update the style of the error
message after writing the reflog fails to match surrounding error
messages (i.e. no '' around the pathname and no () around the error

When we are running the git command "foo", we may have to
look up the config keys "pager.foo" and "alias.foo". These
config schemes are mis-designed, as the command names can be
anything, but the config syntax has some restrictions. For
example:
$ git foo_bar
error: invalid key: pager.foo_bar
error: invalid key: alias.foo_bar
git: 'foo_bar' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
You cannot name an alias with an underscore. And if you have
an external command with one, you cannot configure its
pager.
In the long run, we may develop a different config scheme
for these features. But in the near term (and because we'll
need to support the existing scheme indefinitely), we should
at least squelch the error messages shown above.
These errors come from git_config_parse_key. Ideally we
would pass a "quiet" flag to the config machinery, but there
are many layers between the pager code and the key parsing.
Passing a flag through all of those would be an invasive
change.
Instead, let's provide a config function to report on
whether a key is syntactically valid, and have the pager and
alias code skip lookup for bogus keys. We can build this
easily around the existing git_config_parse_key, with two
minor modifications:
1. We now handle a NULL store_key, to validate but not
write out the normalized key.
2. We accept a "quiet" flag to avoid writing to stderr.
This doesn't need to be a full-blown public "flags"
field, because we can make the existing implementation
a static helper function, keeping the mess contained
inside config.c.

The config-writing code uses xmmap to map the existing
config file, which will die if the map fails. This has two
downsides:
1. The error message is not very helpful, as it lacks any
context about the file we are mapping:
$ mkdir foo
$ git config --file=foo some.key value
fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device
2. We normally do not die in this code path; instead, we'd
rather report the error and return an appropriate exit
status (which is part of the public interface
documented in git-config.1).
This patch introduces a "gentle" form of xmmap which lets us
produce our own error message. We do not want to use mmap
directly, because we would like to use the other
compatibility elements of xmmap (e.g., handling 0-length
maps portably).
The end result is:
$ git.compile config --file=foo some.key value

We read config files character-by-character from a stdio
handle using fgetc(). This incurs significant locking
overhead, even though we know that only one thread can
possibly access the handle. We can speed this up by taking
the lock ourselves, and then using getc_unlocked to read
each character.
On a silly pathological case:
perl -le '
print "[core]";
print "key$_ = value$_" for (1..1000000)
' >input
git config -f input core.key1
this dropped the time to run git-config from:
real 0m0.263s
user 0m0.260s
sys 0m0.000s
to:
real 0m0.159s
user 0m0.152s
sys 0m0.004s
for a savings of 39%. Most config files are not this big,

Our config code simulates a stdio stream around a buffer,
but our fake ungetc() does not behave quite like the real
one. In particular, we only rewind the position by one
character, but do _not_ actually put the character from the
caller into position.
It turns out that this does not matter, because we only ever
push back the character we just read. In other words, such
an assignment would be a noop. But because the function is
called ungetc, and because it takes a character parameter,
it is a mistake waiting to happen.
Actually assigning the character into the buffer would be
ideal, but our pointer is actually a "const" copy of the
buffer. We do not know who the real owner of the buffer is
in this code, and would not want to munge their contents.
Instead, we can simply add an assertion that matches what
the current caller does, and will let us know if new callers
are added that violate the contract.

When we are parsing a config value, if we see a carriage
return, we fgetc the next character to see if it is a
line feed (in which case we silently drop the CR). If it
isn't, we then ungetc the character, and take the literal
CR.
But we never check whether we in fact got a character at
all. If the config file ends in CR, we will get EOF here,
and try to ungetc EOF. This works OK for a real stdio
stream. The ungetc returns an error, and the next fgetc will
then return EOF again.
However, our custom buffer-based stream is not so fortunate.
It happily rewinds the position of the stream by one
character, ignoring the fact that we fed it EOF. The next
fgetc call returns the final CR again, over and over, and we
end up in an infinite loop.

In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as

For now, we still make sure to allocate at least PATH_MAX characters

Another alternative would be to just use a strbuf as scratch space in
lock_file() but then store a pointer to the naked string in struct
lock_file. But lock_file objects are often reused. By reusing the
same strbuf, we can avoid having to reallocate the string most times

Currently if we have a config file like,
[foo]
baz
bar =
and we try something like, "git config --add foo.baz roll", Git will
segfault. Moreover, for "git config --add foo.bar roll", it will
overwrite the original value instead of appending after the existing
empty value.
The problem lies with the regexp used for simulating --add in
`git_config_set_multivar_in_file()`, "^$", which in ideal case should
not match with any string but is true for empty strings. Instead use a
regexp like "a^" which can not be true for any string, empty or not.
For removing the segfault add a check for NULL values in `matches()` in
config.c.

Of all the functions in `git_config*()` family, `git_config()` has the
most invocations in the whole code base. Each `git_config()` invocation
causes config file rereads which can be avoided using the config-set API.
Use the config-set API to rewrite `git_config()` to use the config caching
layer to avoid config file rereads on each invocation during a git process
lifetime. First invocation constructs the cache, and after that for each
successive invocation, `git_config()` feeds values from the config cache
instead of rereading the configuration files.

Add `git_die_config` that dies printing the line number and the file name
of the highest priority value for the configuration variable `key`. A custom
error message is also printed before dying, specified by the caller, which can
be skipped if `err` argument is set to NULL.
It has usage in non-callback based config value retrieval where we can
raise an error and die if there is a semantic error.
For example,
if (!git_config_get_value(key, &value)){
if (!strcmp(value, "foo"))
git_config_die(key, "value: `%s` is illegal", value);
else
/* do work */
}

Currently `git_config()` returns an integer signifying an error code.
During rewrites of the function most of the code was shifted to
`git_config_with_options()`. `git_config_with_options()` normally
returns positive values if its `config_source` parameter is set as NULL,
as most errors are fatal, and non-fatal potential errors are guarded
by "if" statements that are entered only when no error is possible.
Still a negative value can be returned in case of race condition between
`access_or_die()` & `git_config_from_file()`. Also, all callers of
`git_config()` ignore the return value except for one case in branch.c.
Change `git_config()` return value to void and make it die if it receives
a negative value from `git_config_with_options()`.

In a config file, you can do:
[foo]
bar
to turn the "foo.bar" boolean flag on, and you can do:
[foo]
bar=
to set "foo.bar" to the empty string. However, git's "-c"
parameter treats both:
git -c foo.bar
and
git -c foo.bar=
as the boolean flag, and there is no way to set a variable
to the empty string. This patch enables the latter form to
do that.

Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for
config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config
files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with
different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves.
Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
`~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value`
and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets.
`git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there
are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the
value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`).
`git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of
increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add
type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar.
Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs
read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide
~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set`
is populated using `git_config()`.
Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and
`git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from
`the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are
implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

When we see the core.commentchar config option, we extract
the string with git_config_string, which does two things:
1. It complains via config_error_nonbool if there is no
string value.
2. It makes a copy of the string.
Since we immediately parse the string into its
single-character value, we only care about (1). And in fact
(2) is a detriment, as it means we leak the copy. Instead,
let's just check the pointer value ourselves, and parse
directly from the const string we already have.

* ow/config-mailmap-pathname:
config: respect '~' and '~user' in mailmap.file
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);

This is a convenience wrapper to call tolower on each
character of the string.
This makes config's lowercase() function obsolete, though
note that because we have a strbuf, we are careful to
operate over the whole strbuf, rather than assuming that a
NUL is the end-of-string.
We could continue to offer a pure-string lowercase, but
there would be no callers (in most pure-string cases, we
actually duplicate and lowercase the duplicate, for which we
have the xstrdup_tolower wrapper).

char in a small subset. This should stop surprises because git strips
some lines unexpectedly.

in custom templates and convert it if the final comment char is
different. It thinks '#' lines in custom templates as part of the

When we see a relative config include like:
[include]
path = foo
we make it relative to the containing directory of the file
that contains the snippet. This makes no sense for config
read from a blob, as it is not on the filesystem. Something
like "HEAD:some/path" could have a relative path within the
tree, but:
1. It would not be part of include.path, which explicitly
refers to the filesystem.
2. It would need different parsing rules anyway to
determine that it is a tree path.
The current code just uses the "name" field, which is wrong.
Let's split that into "name" and "path" fields, use the
latter for relative includes, and fill in only the former
for blobs.
