Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die,
lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take
struct object_id arguments.
Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this
function. This is required since in order to convert parse_object and
parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and
lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted. Not introducing a
temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a
struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *,
leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface.
parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

Convert the remaining parts of fast-import.c to use struct object_id.
Convert several instances of get_sha1_hex to parse_oid_hex to avoid
needing to specify constants. Convert other hardcoded values to named
constants. Finally, use the is_empty_tree_oid function instead of a
direct comparison against a fixed string.
Note that the odd computation with GIT_MAX_HEXSZ is due to the insertion
of a slash between every two hex digits in the path, plus one for the

The odb_mkstemp() function expects the caller to provide a
fixed buffer to write the resulting tempfile name into. But
it creates the template using snprintf without checking the
return value. This means we could silently truncate the
filename.
In practice, it's unlikely that the truncation would end in
the template-pattern that mkstemp needs to open the file. So
we'd probably end up failing either way, unless the path was
specially crafted.
The simplest fix would be to notice the truncation and die.
However, we can observe that most callers immediately
xstrdup() the result anyway. So instead, let's switch to
using a strbuf, which is easier for them (and isn't a big
deal for the other 2 callers, who can just strbuf_release
when they're done with it).
Note that many of the callers used static buffers, but this
was purely to avoid putting a large buffer on the stack. We
never passed the static buffers out of the function, so
there's no complicated memory handling we need to change.

Code clean-up.
* jk/fast-import-cleanup:
pack.h: define largest possible encoded object size
encode_in_pack_object_header: respect output buffer length
fast-import: use xsnprintf for formatting headers
fast-import: use xsnprintf for writing sha1s
The encode_in_pack_object_header() writes a variable-length
header to an output buffer, but it doesn't actually know
long the buffer is. At first glance, this looks like it
might be possible to overflow.
In practice, this is probably impossible. The smallest
buffer we use is 10 bytes, which would hold the header for
an object up to 2^67 bytes. Obviously we're not likely to
see such an object, but we might worry that an object could
lie about its size (causing us to overflow before we realize
it does not actually have that many bytes). But the argument
is passed as a uintmax_t. Even on systems that have __int128
available, uintmax_t is typically restricted to 64-bit by
the ABI.
So it's unlikely that a system exists where this could be
exploited. Still, it's easy enough to use a normal out/len
pair and make sure we don't write too far. That protects the
hypothetical 128-bit system, makes it harder for callers to
accidentally specify a too-small buffer, and makes the
resulting code easier to audit.
Note that the one caller in fast-import tried to catch such
a case, but did so _after_ the call (at which point we'd
have already overflowed!). This check can now go away.

The odb_pack_keep() function generates the name of a .keep
file and opens it. This has two problems:
1. It requires a fixed-size buffer to create the filename
and doesn't notice when the result is truncated.
2. Of the two callers, one sometimes wants to open a
filename it already has, which makes things awkward (it
has to do so manually, and skips the leading-directory
creation).
Instead, let's have odb_pack_keep() just open the file.
Generating the name isn't hard, and a future patch will

When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted

Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no

Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted
ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref. Even if it
were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted
ref's log. files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if
REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update()
doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING

"git fast-import" sometimes mishandled while rebalancing notes
tree, which has been fixed.
* mh/fast-import-notes-fix-new:
fast-import: properly fanout notes when tree is imported
In typical uses of fast-import, trees are inherited from a parent
commit. In that case, the tree_entry for the branch looks like:
.versions[1].sha1 = $some_sha1
.tree = <tree structure loaded from $some_sha1>
However, when trees are imported, rather than inherited, that is not the
case. One can import a tree with a filemodify command, replacing the
root tree object.
e.g.
"M 040000 $some_sha1 \n"
In this case, the tree_entry for the branch looks like:
.versions[1].sha1 = $some_sha1
.tree = NULL
When adding new notes with the notemodify command, do_change_note_fanout
is called to get a notes count, and to do so, it loops over the
tree_entry->tree, but doesn't do anything when the tree is NULL.
In the latter case above, it means do_change_note_fanout thinks the tree
contains no notes, and new notes are added with no fanout.
Interestingly, do_change_note_fanout does check whether subdirectories
have a NULL .tree, in which case it uses load_tree(). Which means the
right behaviour happens when using the filemodify command to import
subdirectories.
This change makes do_change_note_fanount call load_tree() whenever the
tree_entry it is given has no tree loaded, making all cases handled
equally.

one of them also allowed overriding it from the command line.
The other codepath in bulk-checkin did not pay any attention to the

Unify the configuration parsing to git_default_config(), where we
implement the parsing of core.loosecompression and core.compression

There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at
the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not
built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git"
potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone
programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that
calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to
make it harder to make mistakes.
* jk/common-main:

common-main: call git_setup_gettext()
common-main: call restore_sigpipe_to_default()
common-main: call sanitize_stdfds()

add an extra level of indirection to main()
This should be part of every program, as otherwise users do
not get translated error messages. However, some external
commands forgot to do so (e.g., git-credential-store). This
fixes them, and eliminates the repeated code in programs
that did remember to use it.

Every program which links against libgit.a must call this
function, or risk hitting an assert() in system_path() that
checks whether we have configured argv0_path (though only
when RUNTIME_PREFIX is defined, so essentially only on
Windows).
Looking at the diff, you can see that putting it into the
common main() saves us having to do it individually in each
of the external commands. But what you can't see are the
cases where we _should_ have been doing so, but weren't
(e.g., git-credential-store, and all of the t/helper test
programs).
This has been an accident-waiting-to-happen for a long time,
but wasn't triggered until recently because it involves one
of those programs actually calling system_path(). That
happened with git-credential-store in v2.8.0 with ae5f677
(lazily load core.sharedrepository, 2016-03-11). The
program:
- takes a lock file, which...
- opens a tempfile, which...
- calls adjust_shared_perm to fix permissions, which...
- lazy-loads the config (as of ae5f677), which...
- calls system_path() to find the location of
/etc/gitconfig
On systems with RUNTIME_PREFIX, this means credential-store
reliably hits that assert() and cannot be used.
We never noticed in the test suite, because we set
GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM there, which skips the system_path()
lookup entirely. But if we were to tweak git_config() to
find /etc/gitconfig even when we aren't going to open it,
then the test suite shows multiple failures (for
credential-store, and for some other test helpers). I didn't
include that tweak here because it's way too specific to
this particular call to be worth carrying around what is
essentially dead code.
The implementation is fairly straightforward, with one
exception: there is exactly one caller (git.c) that actually
cares about the result of the function, and not the
side-effect of setting up argv0_path. We can accommodate
that by simply replacing the value of argv[0] in the array
we hand down to cmd_main().

There are certain startup tasks that we expect every git
process to do. In some cases this is just to improve the
quality of the program (e.g., setting up gettext()). In
others it is a requirement for using certain functions in
libgit.a (e.g., system_path() expects that you have called
git_extract_argv0_path()).
Most commands are builtins and are covered by the git.c
version of main(). However, there are still a few external
commands that use their own main(). Each of these has to
remember to include the correct startup sequence, and we are
not always consistent.
Rather than just fix the inconsistencies, let's make this
harder to get wrong by providing a common main() that can
run this standard startup.
We basically have two options to do this:
- the compat/mingw.h file already does something like this by
adding a #define that replaces the definition of main with a
wrapper that calls mingw_startup().
The upside is that the code in each program doesn't need
to be changed at all; it's rewritten on the fly by the
preprocessor.
The downside is that it may make debugging of the startup
sequence a bit more confusing, as the preprocessor is
quietly inserting new code.
- the builtin functions are all of the form cmd_foo(),
and git.c's main() calls them.
This is much more explicit, which may make things more
obvious to somebody reading the code. It's also more
flexible (because of course we have to figure out _which_
cmd_foo() to call).
The downside is that each of the builtins must define
cmd_foo(), instead of just main().
This patch chooses the latter option, preferring the more
explicit approach, even though it is more invasive. We
introduce a new file common-main.c, with the "real" main. It
expects to call cmd_main() from whatever other objects it is
linked against.
We link common-main.o against anything that links against
libgit.a, since we know that such programs will need to do
this setup. Note that common-main.o can't actually go inside
libgit.a, as the linker would not pick up its main()
function automatically (it has no callers).
The rest of the patch is just adjusting all of the various
external programs (mostly in t/helper) to use cmd_main().
I've provided a global declaration for cmd_main(), which
means that all of the programs also need to match its
signature. In particular, many functions need to switch to
"const char **" instead of "char **" for argv. This effect
ripples out to a few other variables and functions, as well.
This makes the patch even more invasive, but the end result
is much better. We should be treating argv strings as const
anyway, and now all programs conform to the same signature
(which also matches the way builtins are defined).

When loosening a pack, the current pack_id gets reused when

tag lists still contains pre-checkpoint references to the
recycled pack_id.
Merely clearing the object_table as suggested by Jeff King in

I/O, especially in large repositories where the initial packs
were aggressively optimized and marked with .keep files.
In those cases, users may be better served with loose objects

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

The error message after a failing commit_lock_file() call sometimes

$ git remote add remote git@server.com/repo.git

# 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

While at it, include strerror in the error messages after writing the
config file or the credential store fails to provide some information

We can just use memcpy, along with noting explicitly how the
result is terminated (if it is not already obvious). That
should make it more clear to a reader that we are doing the
right thing.

When we already know the length of a string (e.g., because
we just malloc'd to fit it), it's nicer to use memcpy than
strcpy, as it makes it more obvious that we are not going to
overflow the buffer (because the size we pass matches the
size in the allocation).
This also eliminates calls to strcpy, which make auditing
the code base harder.

When we are allocating a struct with a FLEX_ARRAY member, we
generally compute the size of the array and then sprintf or
strcpy into it. Normally we could improve a dynamic allocation
like this by using xstrfmt, but it doesn't work here; we
have to account for the size of the rest of the struct.
But we can improve things a bit by storing the length that
we use for the allocation, and then feeding it to xsnprintf
or memcpy, which makes it more obvious that we are not
writing more than the allocated number of bytes.
It would be nice if we had some kind of helper for
allocating generic flex arrays, but it doesn't work that
well:
- the call signature is a little bit unwieldy:
d = flex_struct(sizeof(*d), offsetof(d, path), fmt, ...);
You need offsetof here instead of just writing to the
end of the base size, because we don't know how the
struct is packed (partially this is because FLEX_ARRAY
might not be zero, though we can account for that; but
the size of the struct may actually be rounded up for
alignment, and we can't know that).
- some sites do clever things, like over-allocating because
they know they will write larger things into the buffer
later (e.g., struct packed_git here).
So we're better off to just write out each allocation (or
add type-specific helpers, though many of these are one-off
allocations anyway).

We generally use 32-byte buffers to format git's "type size"
header fields. These should not generally overflow unless
you can produce some truly gigantic objects (and our types
come from our internal array of constant strings). But it is
a good idea to use xsnprintf to make sure this is the case.
Note that we slightly modify the interface to
write_sha1_file_prepare, which nows uses "hdrlen" as an "in"
parameter as well as an "out" (on the way in it stores the
allocated size of the header, and on the way out it returns
the ultimate size of the header).

When fast-import emits a crash report, it does so in the
user's local timezone. But because we omit the timezone
completely for DATE_LOCAL, a reader of the report does not
immediately know which time zone was used. Let's switch this
to ISO8601 instead, which includes the time zone.
This does mean we will show the time in UTC, but that's not
a big deal. A crash report like this will either be looked
at immediately (in which case nobody even looks at the
timestamp), or it will be passed along to a developer to
debug, in which case the original timezone is less likely to
be of interest.

git_path() and mkpath() are handy helper functions but it is easy
to misuse, as the callers need to be careful to keep the number of
active results below 4. Their uses have been reduced.
* jk/git-path:
memoize common git-path "constant" files
get_repo_path: refactor path-allocation
find_hook: keep our own static buffer
refs.c: remove_empty_directories can take a strbuf
refs.c: avoid git_path assignment in lock_ref_sha1_basic
refs.c: avoid repeated git_path calls in rename_tmp_log
refs.c: simplify strbufs in reflog setup and writing
path.c: drop git_path_submodule
refs.c: remove extra git_path calls from read_loose_refs
remote.c: drop extraneous local variable from migrate_file
prefer mkpathdup to mkpath in assignments
prefer git_pathdup to git_path in some possibly-dangerous cases
add_to_alternates_file: don't add duplicate entries
t5700: modernize style
cache.h: complete set of git_path_submodule helpers
cache.h: clarify documentation for git_path, et al
Because git_path uses a static buffer that is shared with
calls to git_path, mkpath, etc, it can be dangerous to
assign the result to a variable or pass it to a non-trivial
function. The value may change unexpectedly due to other
calls.
None of the cases changed here has a known bug, but they're
worth converting away from git_path because:
1. It's easy to use git_pathdup in these cases.
2. They use constructs (like assignment) that make it
hard to tell whether they're safe or not.
The extra malloc overhead should be trivial, as an
allocation should be an order of magnitude cheaper than a
system call (which we are clearly about to make, since we
are constructing a filename). The real cost is that we must
remember to free the result.

Since 5a688fe4 ("core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not
loosen, 2009-03-25), we kept reminding ourselves:
NEEDSWORK: this should be renamed to finalize_temp_file() as
"moving" is only a part of what it does, when no patch between
master to pu changes the call sites of this function.
without doing anything about it. Let's do so.
The purpose of this function was not to move but to finalize. The
detail of the primarily implementation of finalizing was to link the
temporary file to its final name and then to unlink, which wasn't
even "moving". The alternative implementation did "move" by calling
rename(2), which is a fun tangent.

Teach "git log" and friends a new "--date=format:..." option to
format timestamps using system's strftime(3).
* jk/date-mode-format:
strbuf: make strbuf_addftime more robust
introduce "format" date-mode
convert "enum date_mode" into a struct
show-branch: use DATE_RELATIVE instead of magic number
