When writing files git-apply(1) initially makes sure that none of the
files it is about to create are behind a symlink:
```
$ git init repo
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/
$ cd repo/
$ ln -s dir symlink
$ git apply - <<EOF
diff --git a/symlink/file b/symlink/file
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..e69de29
EOF
error: affected file 'symlink/file' is beyond a symbolic link
```
This safety mechanism is crucial to ensure that we don't write outside
of the repository's working directory. It can be fooled though when the
patch that is being applied creates the symbolic link in the first
place, which can lead to writing files in arbitrary locations.
Fix this by checking whether the path we're about to create is
beyond a symlink or not. Tightening these checks like this should be
fine as we already have these precautions in Git as explained
above. Ideally, we should update the check we do up-front before
starting to reflect the computed changes to the working tree so that
we catch this case as well, but as part of embargoed security work,
adding an equivalent check just before we try to write out a file
should serve us well as a reasonable first step.
Digging back into history shows that this vulnerability has existed
since at least Git v2.9.0. As Git v2.8.0 and older don't build on my
system anymore I cannot tell whether older versions are affected, as
well.

Apache 2.4 has been out since early 2012, almost 11 years. And its
predecessor, 2.2, has been out of support since its last release in
2017, over 5 years ago. The last mention on the mailing list was from
around the same time, in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20171231023234.21215-1-tmz@pobox.com/
We can probably assume that 2.4 is available everywhere. And the stakes
are fairly low, as the worst case is that such a platform would skip the
http tests.
This lets us clean up a few minor version checks in the config file, but
also revert f1f2b45be0 (tests: adjust the configuration for Apache 2.2,
2016-05-09). Its technique isn't _too_ bad, but certainly required a bit
more explanation than the 2.4 version it replaced. I manually confirmed
that the test in t5551 still behaves as expected (if you replace
"cadabra" with "foo", the server correctly rejects the request).

Apache 2.2 was released in 2005, almost 18 years ago. We can probably
assume that people are running a version at least that old (and the
stakes for removing it are fairly low, as the worst case is that they
would not run the http tests against their ancient version).
Dropping support for the older versions cleans up the config file a
little, and will also enable us to bump the required version further
(with more cleanups) in a future patch.
Note that the file actually checks for version 2.1. In apache's
versioning scheme, odd numbered versions are for development and even
numbers are for stable releases. So 2.1 and 2.2 are effectively the same
from our perspective.
Older versions would just fail to start, which would generally cause us
to skip the tests. However, we do have version detection code in
lib-httpd.sh which produces a nicer error message, so let's update that,
too. I didn't bother handling the case of "3.0", etc. Apache has been on
2.x for 21 years, with no signs of bumping the major version. And if
they eventually do, I suspect there will be enough breaking changes that
we'd need to update more than just the numeric version check. We can
worry about that hypothetical when it happens.

Instead of failing hard in this case and making 'git grep' unusable on

As having a functional PCRE2 JIT compiler is a legitimate use case for
performance reasons, we'll only do the fallback if the supposedly
available JIT is found to be non-functional by attempting to JIT compile
a very simple pattern. If this fails, JIT is deemed to be non-functional
and we do the interpreter fallback. For all other cases, i.e. the simple
pattern can be compiled but the user provided cannot, we fail hard as we
do now as the reason for the failure must be the pattern itself. To aid
users in helping themselves change the error message to include a hint
about the '(*NO_JIT)' prefix. Also clip the pattern at 64 characters to
ensure the hint will be seen by the user and not internally truncated by
the die() function.

The creationToken heuristic uses a different mechanism for downloading
bundles from the "standard" approach. Specifically: it uses a concrete
order based on the creationToken values and attempts to download as few
bundles as possible. It also modifies local config to store a value for
future fetches to avoid downloading bundles, if possible.
However, if any of the individual bundles has a failed download, then
the logic for the ordering comes into question. It is important to avoid
infinite loops, assigning invalid creation token values in config, but
also to be opportunistic as possible when downloading as many bundles as
seem appropriate.
These tests were used to inform the implementation of
fetch_bundles_by_token() in bundle-uri.c, but are being added
independently here to allow focusing on faulty downloads. There may be
more cases that could be added that result in modifications to
fetch_bundles_by_token() as interesting data shapes reveal themselves in
real scenarios.

When a bundle list specifies the "creationToken" heuristic, the Git
client downloads the list and then starts downloading bundles in
descending creationToken order. This process stops as soon as all
downloaded bundles can be applied to the repository (because all
required commits are present in the repository or in the downloaded
bundles).
When checking the same bundle list twice, this strategy requires
downloading the bundle with the maximum creationToken again, which is
wasteful. The creationToken heuristic promises that the client will not
have a use for that bundle if its creationToken value is at most the
previous creationToken value.
To prevent these wasteful downloads, create a fetch.bundleCreationToken
config setting that the Git client sets after downloading bundles. This
value allows skipping that maximum bundle download when this config
value is the same value (or larger).
To test that this works correctly, we can insert some "duplicate"
fetches into existing tests and demonstrate that only the bundle list is
downloaded.
The previous logic for downloading bundles by creationToken worked even
if the bundle list was empty, but now we have logic that depends on the
first entry of the list. Terminate early in the (non-sensical) case of
an empty bundle list.

When a user specifies a URI via 'git clone --bundle-uri', that URI may
be a bundle list that advertises a 'bundle.heuristic' value. In that
case, the Git client stores a 'fetch.bundleURI' config value storing
that URI.
Teach 'git fetch' to check for this config value and download bundles
from that URI before fetching from the Git remote(s). Likely, the bundle
provider has configured a heuristic (such as "creationToken") that will
allow the Git client to download only a portion of the bundles before
continuing the fetch.
Since this URI is completely independent of the remote server, we want
to be sure that we connect to the bundle URI before creating a
connection to the Git remote. We do not want to hold a stateful
connection for too long if we can avoid it.
To test that this works correctly, extend the previous tests that set
'fetch.bundleURI' to do follow-up fetches. The bundle list is updated
incrementally at each phase to demonstrate that the heuristic avoids
downloading older bundles. This includes the middle fetch downloading
the objects in bundle-3.bundle from the Git remote, and therefore not
needing that bundle in the third fetch.

documented anywhere else. What is documented elsewhere in the document

existing designs.

Bundle providers may organize their bundle lists in a way that is
intended to improve incremental fetches, not just initial clones.
However, they do need to state that they have organized with that in
mind, or else the client will not expect to save time by downloading
bundles after the initial clone. This is done by specifying a
bundle.heuristic value.
There are two types of bundle lists: those at a static URI and those
that are advertised from a Git remote over protocol v2.
The new fetch.bundleURI config value applies for static bundle URIs that
are not advertised over protocol v2. If the user specifies a static URI
via 'git clone --bundle-uri', then Git can set this config as a reminder
for future 'git fetch' operations to check the bundle list before
connecting to the remote(s).
For lists provided over protocol v2, we will want to take a different
approach and create a property of the remote itself by creating a
remote.<id>.* type config key. That is not implemented in this change.
Later changes will update 'git fetch' to consume this option.

The creationToken heuristic provides an ordering on the bundles
advertised by a bundle list. Teach the Git client to download bundles
differently when this heuristic is advertised.
The bundles in the list are sorted by their advertised creationToken
values, then downloaded in decreasing order. This avoids the previous
strategy of downloading bundles in an arbitrary order and attempting
to apply them (likely failing in the case of required commits) until
discovering the order through attempted unbundling.
During a fresh 'git clone', it may make sense to download the bundles in
increasing order, since that would prevent the need to attempt
unbundling a bundle with required commits that do not exist in our empty
object store. The cost of testing an unbundle is quite low, and instead
the chosen order is optimizing for a future bundle download during a
'git fetch' operation with a non-empty object store.
Since the Git client continues fetching from the Git remote after
downloading and unbundling bundles, the client's object store can be
ahead of the bundle provider's object store. The next time it attempts
to download from the bundle list, it makes most sense to download only
the most-recent bundles until all tips successfully unbundle. The
strategy implemented here provides that short-circuit where the client
downloads a minimal set of bundles.
However, we are not satisfied by the naive approach of downloading
bundles until one successfully unbundles, expecting the earlier bundles
to successfully unbundle now. The example repository in t5558
demonstrates this well:
---------------- bundle-4
4
/ \
----|---|------- bundle-3
| |
| 3
| |
----|---|------- bundle-2
| |
2 |
| |
----|---|------- bundle-1
\ /
1
|
(previous commits)
In this repository, if we already have the objects for bundle-1 and then
try to fetch from this list, the naive approach will fail. bundle-4
requires both bundle-3 and bundle-2, though bundle-3 will successfully
unbundle without bundle-2. Thus, the algorithm needs to keep this in
mind.
A later implementation detail will store the maximum creationToken seen
during such a bundle download, and the client will avoid downloading a
bundle unless its creationToken is strictly greater than that stored
value. For now, if the client seeks to download from an identical
bundle list since its previous download, it will download the
most-recent bundle then stop since its required commits are already in
the object store.
Add tests that exercise this behavior, but we will expand upon these
tests when incremental downloads during 'git fetch' make use of
creationToken values.

order and even remember previously-downloaded bundles by storing the
maximum creation token value.
Before implementing any logic that parses or uses the
bundle.<id>.creationToken values, teach Git to parse the
bundle.heuristic value from a bundle list. We can use 'test-tool
bundle-uri' to print the heuristic value and verify that the parsing
works correctly.

As documented in the bundle URI design doc in 2da14fad8f (docs:
document bundle URI standard, 2022-08-09), the 'creationToken' member of
a bundle URI allows a bundle provider to specify a total order on the
bundles.
Future changes will allow the Git client to understand these members and
modify its behavior around downloading the bundles in that order. In the
meantime, create tests that add creation tokens to the bundle list. For
now, the Git client correctly ignores these unknown keys.
Create a new test helper function, test_remote_https_urls, which filters
GIT_TRACE2_EVENT output to extract a list of URLs passed to
git-remote-https child processes. This can be used to verify the order
of these requests as we implement the creationToken heuristic. For now,
we need to sort the actual output since the current client does not have
a well-defined order that it applies to the bundles.

When Git verifies a bundle to see if it is safe for unbundling, it first
looks to see if the prerequisite commits are in the object store. This
is an easy way to "fail fast" but it is not a sufficient check for
updating refs that guarantee closure under reachability. There could
still be issues if those commits are not reachable from the repository's
references. The repository only has guarantees that its object store is
closed under reachability for the objects that are reachable from
references.
Thus, the code in verify_bundle() has previously had the additional
check that all prerequisite commits are reachable from repository
references. This is done via a revision walk from all references,
stopping only if all prerequisite commits are discovered or all commits
are walked. This uses a custom walk to verify_bundle().
This check is more strict than what Git applies to fetched pack-files.
In the fetch case, Git guarantees that the new references are closed
under reachability by walking from the new references until walking
commits that are reachable from repository refs. This is done through
the well-used check_connected() method.
To better align with the restrictions required by 'git fetch',
reimplement this check in verify_bundle() to use check_connected(). This
also simplifies the code significantly.
The previous change added a test that verified the behavior of 'git
bundle verify' and 'git bundle unbundle' in this case, and the error
messages looked like this:
error: Could not read <missing-commit>
fatal: Failed to traverse parents of commit <extant-commit>
However, by changing the revision walk slightly within check_connected()
and using its quiet mode, we can omit those messages. Instead, we get
only this message, tailored to describing the current state of the
repository:
error: some prerequisite commits exist in the object store,
but are not connected to the repository's history
(Line break added here for the commit message formatting, only.)
While this message does not include any object IDs, there is no
guarantee that those object IDs would help the user diagnose what is
going on, as they could be separated from the prerequisite commits by
some distance. At minimum, this situation describes the situation in a
more informative way than the previous error messages.

When verifying a bundle, Git checks first that all prerequisite commits
exist in the object store, then adds an additional check: those
prerequisite commits must be reachable from references in the
repository.
This check is stronger than what is checked for refs being added during
'git fetch', which simply guarantees that the new refs have a complete
history up to the point where it intersects with the current reachable
history.
However, we also do not have any tests that check the behavior under
this condition. Create a test that demonstrates its behavior.
In order to construct a broken history, perform a shallow clone of a
repository with a linear history, but whose default branch ('base') has
a single commit, so dropping the shallow markers leaves a complete
history from that reference. However, the 'tip' reference adds a
shallow commit whose parent is missing in the cloned repository. Trying
to unbundle a bundle with the 'tip' as a prerequisite will succeed past
the object store check and move into the reachability check.
The two errors that are reported are of this form:
error: Could not read <missing-commit>
fatal: Failed to traverse parents of commit <present-commit>
These messages are not particularly helpful for the person running the
unbundle command, but they do prevent the command from succeeding.
