When execvp reports EACCES, it can be one of two things:

  1. We found a file to execute, but did not have
     permissions to do so.

  2. We did not have permissions to look in some directory
     in the $PATH.

In the former case, we want to consider this a
permissions problem and report it to the user as such (since
getting this for something like "git foo" is likely a
configuration error).

In the latter case, there is a good chance that the
inaccessible directory does not contain anything of
interest. Reporting "permission denied" is confusing to the
user (and prevents our usual "did you mean...?" lookup). It
also prevents git from trying alias lookup, since we do so
only when an external command does not exist (not when it
exists but has an error).

This patch detects EACCES from execvp, checks whether we are
in case (2), and if so converts errno to ENOENT. This
behavior matches that of "bash" (but not of simpler shells
that use execvp more directly, like "dash").

Each ref structure contains a "nonfastforward" field which
is set during push to show whether the ref rewound history.
Originally this was a single bit, but it was changed in
f25950f3 (push: Provide situational hints for non-fast-forward
errors) to an enum differentiating a non-ff of the current
branch versus another branch.

However, we never actually set the member according to the
enum values, nor did we ever read it expecting anything but
a boolean value. But we did use the side effect of declaring
the enum constants to store those values in a totally
different integer variable. The code as-is isn't buggy, but
the enum declaration inside "struct ref" is somewhat
misleading.

Let's convert nonfastforward back into a single bit, and
then define the NON_FF_* constants closer to where they
would be used (they are returned via the "int *nonfastforward"
parameter to transport_push, so we can define them there).

Pushing a non-fast-forward update to a remote repository will result in
an error, but the hint text doesn't provide the correct resolution in
every case. Give better resolution advice in three push scenarios:

1) If you push your current branch and it triggers a non-fast-forward
error, you should merge remote changes with 'git pull' before pushing
again.

2) If you push to a shared repository others push to, and your local
tracking branches are not kept up to date, the 'matching refs' default
will generate non-fast-forward errors on outdated branches. If this is
your workflow, the 'matching refs' default is not for you. Consider
setting the 'push.default' configuration variable to 'current' or
'upstream' to ensure only your current branch is pushed.

3) If you explicitly specify a ref that is not your current branch or
push matching branches with ':', you will generate a non-fast-forward
error if any pushed branch tip is out of date. You should checkout the
offending branch and merge remote changes before pushing again.

Teach transport.c to recognize these scenarios and configure push.c
to hint for them. If 'git push's default behavior changes or we
discover more scenarios, extension is easy. Standardize on the
advice API and add three new advice variables, 'pushNonFFCurrent',
'pushNonFFDefault', and 'pushNonFFMatching'. Setting any of these
to 'false' will disable their affiliated advice. Setting
'pushNonFastForward' to false will disable all three, thus preserving the
config option for users who already set it, but guaranteeing new
users won't disable push advice accidentally.

It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).

This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:

  [include]
    path = /path/to/file

This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).

The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.

Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:

  1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
     There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
     and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.

  2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
     reasons:

       a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
          config-like files.

       b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
	  care about just what's in that file, not a general
          lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
	  all". If that is not the case, the caller can
	  always specify "--includes".

  3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
     include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
     modified), and not expand them. So "git config
     --unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
     .git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
     also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

This is a magic global variable that was intended as an
override to the usual git-config lookup process. Once upon a
time, you could specify GIT_CONFIG to any git program, and
it would look only at that file. This turned out to be
confusing and cause a lot of bugs for little gain. As a
result, dc871831 (Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not
other programs, 2008-06-30) took this away for all callers
except git-config.

Since git-config no longer uses it either, the variable can
just go away. As the diff shows, nobody was setting to
anything except NULL, so we can just replace any sites where
it was read with NULL.

Callers may want to provide a specific version of a file in which to look
for config. Right now this can be done by setting the magic global
config_exclusive_filename variable.  By providing a version of git_config
that takes a filename, we can take a step towards making this magic global
go away.

Furthermore, by providing a more "advanced" interface, we now have a a
natural place to add new options for callers like git-config, which care
about tweaking the specifics of config lookup, without disturbing the
large number of "simple" users (i.e., every other part of git).

The astute reader of this patch may notice that the logic for handling
config_exclusive_filename was taken out of git_config_early, but added
into git_config. This means that git_config_early will no longer respect
config_exclusive_filename.  That's OK, because the only other caller of
git_config_early is check_repository_format_gently, but the only function
which sets config_exclusive_filename is cmd_config, which does not call
check_repository_format_gently (and if it did, it would have been a bug,
anyway, as we would be checking the repository format in the wrong file).

When you specify a local repository on the command line of
clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive,
or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of
lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for
.git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos.

For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For
everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases,
there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't
handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the
same by both methods.

This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible
lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are:

  1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred
     a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the
     bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over
     "foo.git". With this patch, we do so.

  2. We would select directories that existed but didn't
     actually look like git repositories. With this patch,
     we make sure a selected directory looks like a git
     repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it
     will help anybody who is negatively affected by change
     (1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its
     separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding
     "foo.git" when they reference "foo").

  3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for
     "foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even
     for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did
     not; with this patch, they now behave the same.

In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare
repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we
continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the
"inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the
combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with
existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying
on it.

We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol
extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a
substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have
recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later
add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward.

Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the
clients and servers that feature words consist of non whitespace
letters. This parser also allows us to later add features with parameters

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not
safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens,

"git log frotz" can DWIM to "refs/remotes/frotz/HEAD", but in the remote
access context, "git fetch frotz" to fetch what the other side happened to
have fetched from what it calls 'frotz' (which may not have any relation
to what we consider is 'frotz') the last time would not make much sense,
so the fetch rules table did not include "refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD".

When the user really wants to, "git fetch $there remotes/frotz/HEAD" would
let her do so anyway, so this is not about safety or security; it merely
is about confusion avoidance and discouraging meaningless usage.

Specifically, it is _not_ about ambiguity avoidance. A name that would
become ambiguous if we use the same rules table for both fetch and local
rev-parse would be ambiguous locally at the remote side.

So for the same reason as we added rule to allow "git fetch $there v1.0"
instead of "git fetch $there tags/v1.0" in the previous commit, here is a
bit longer rope for the users, which incidentally simplifies our code.

It's possible that while pack-objects is running, a
simultaneously running prune process might delete a pack
that we are interested in. Because we load the pack indices
early on, we know that the pack contains our item, but by
the time we try to open and map it, it is gone.

Since c715f783, we already protect against this in the normal
object access code path, but pack-objects accesses the packs
at a lower level.  In the normal access path, we call
find_pack_entry, which will call find_pack_entry_one on each
pack index, which does the actual lookup. If it gets a hit,
we will actually open and verify the validity of the
matching packfile (using c715f783's is_pack_valid). If we
can't open it, we'll issue a warning and pretend that we
didn't find it, causing us to go on to the next pack (or on
to loose objects).

Furthermore, we will cache the descriptor to the opened
packfile. Which means that later, when we actually try to
access the object, we are likely to still have that packfile
opened, and won't care if it has been unlinked from the
filesystem.

Notice the "likely" above. If there is another pack access
in the interim, and we run out of descriptors, we could
close the pack. And then a later attempt to access the
closed pack could fail (we'll try to re-open it, of course,
but it may have been deleted). In practice, this doesn't
happen because we tend to look up items and then access them
immediately.

Pack-objects does not follow this code path. Instead, it
accesses the packs at a much lower level, using
find_pack_entry_one directly. This means we skip the
is_pack_valid check, and may end up with the name of a
packfile, but no open descriptor.

We can add the same is_pack_valid check here. Unfortunately,
the access patterns of pack-objects are not quite as nice
for keeping lookup and object access together. We look up
each object as we find out about it, and the only later when
writing the packfile do we necessarily access it. Which
means that the opened packfile may be closed in the interim.

In practice, however, adding this check still has value, for
three reasons.

  1. If you have a reasonable number of packs and/or a
     reasonable file descriptor limit, you can keep all of
     your packs open simultaneously. If this is the case,
     then the race is impossible to trigger.

  2. Even if you can't keep all packs open at once, you
     may end up keeping the deleted one open (i.e., you may
     get lucky).

  3. The race window is shortened. You may notice early that
     the pack is gone, and not try to access it. Triggering
     the problem without this check means deleting the pack
     any time after we read the list of index files, but
     before we access the looked-up objects.  Triggering it
     with this check means deleting the pack means deleting
     the pack after we do a lookup (and successfully access
     the packfile), but before we access the object. Which
     is a smaller window.

When core.ignorecase is turned on and there are stale index
entries, "git commit" can sometimes report directories as
untracked, even though they contain tracked files.

You can see an example of this with:

    # make a case-insensitive repo
    git init repo && cd repo &&
    git config core.ignorecase true &&

    # with some tracked files in a subdir
    mkdir subdir &&
    > subdir/one &&
    > subdir/two &&
    git add . &&
    git commit -m base &&

    # now make the index entries stale
    touch subdir/* &&

    # and then ask commit to update those entries and show
    # us the status template
    git commit -a

which will report "subdir/"  as untracked, even though it
clearly contains two tracked files. What is happening in the
commit program is this:

  1. We load the index, and for each entry, insert it into the index's
     name_hash. In addition, if ignorecase is turned on, we make an
     entry in the name_hash for the directory (e.g., "contrib/"), which
     uses the following code from 5102c617's hash_index_entry_directories:

        hash = hash_name(ce->name, ptr - ce->name);
        if (!lookup_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash)) {
                pos = insert_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash);
		if (pos) {
			ce->next = *pos;
			*pos = ce;
		}
        }

     Note that we only add the directory entry if there is not already an
     entry.

  2. We run add_files_to_cache, which gets updated information for each
     cache entry. It helpfully inserts this information into the cache,
     which calls replace_index_entry. This in turn calls
     remove_name_hash() on the old entry, and add_name_hash() on the new
     one. But remove_name_hash doesn't actually remove from the hash, it
     only marks it as "no longer interesting" (from cache.h):

      /*
       * We don't actually *remove* it, we can just mark it invalid so that
       * we won't find it in lookups.
       *
       * Not only would we have to search the lists (simple enough), but
       * we'd also have to rehash other hash buckets in case this makes the
       * hash bucket empty (common). So it's much better to just mark
       * it.
       */
      static inline void remove_name_hash(struct cache_entry *ce)
      {
              ce->ce_flags |= CE_UNHASHED;
      }

     This is OK in the specific-file case, since the entries in the hash
     form a linked list, and we can just skip the "not here anymore"
     entries during lookup.

     But for the directory hash entry, we will _not_ write a new entry,
     because there is already one there: the old one that is actually no
     longer interesting!

  3. While traversing the directories, we end up in the
     directory_exists_in_index_icase function to see if a directory is
     interesting. This in turn checks index_name_exists, which will
     look up the directory in the index's name_hash. We see the old,
     deleted record, and assume there is nothing interesting. The
     directory gets marked as untracked, even though there are index
     entries in it.

The problem is in the code I showed above:

        hash = hash_name(ce->name, ptr - ce->name);
        if (!lookup_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash)) {
                pos = insert_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash);
		if (pos) {
			ce->next = *pos;
			*pos = ce;
		}
        }

Having a single cache entry that represents the directory is
not enough; that entry may go away if the index is changed.
It may be tempting to say that the problem is in our removal
method; if we removed the entry entirely instead of simply
marking it as "not here anymore", then we would know we need
to insert a new entry. But that only covers this particular
case of remove-replace. In the more general case, consider
something like this:

  1. We add "foo/bar" and "foo/baz" to the index. Each gets
     their own entry in name_hash, plus we make a "foo/"
     entry that points to "foo/bar".

  2. We remove the "foo/bar" entry from the index, and from
     the name_hash.

  3. We ask if "foo/" exists, and see no entry, even though
     "foo/baz" exists.

So we need that directory entry to have the list of _all_
cache entries that indicate that the directory is tracked.
So that implies making a linked list as we do for other
entries, like:

  hash = hash_name(ce->name, ptr - ce->name);
  pos = insert_hash(hash, &istate->name_hash);
  if (pos) {
	  ce->next = *pos;
	  *pos = ce;
  }

But that's not right either. In fact, it shows a second bug
in the current code, which is that the "ce->next" pointer is
supposed to be linking entries for a specific filename
entry, but here we are overwriting it for the directory
entry. So the same cache entry ends up in two linked lists,
but they share the same "next" pointer.

As it turns out, this second bug can't be triggered in the
current code. The "if (pos)" conditional is totally dead
code; pos will only be non-NULL if there was an existing
hash entry, and we already checked that there wasn't one
through our call to lookup_hash.

But fixing the first bug means taking out that call to
lookup_hash, which is going to activate the buggy dead code,
and we'll end up splicing the two linked lists together.

So we need to have a separate next pointer for the list in
the directory bucket, and we need to traverse that list in
index_name_exists when we are looking up a directory.

This bloats "struct cache_entry" by a few bytes. Which is
annoying, because it's only necessary when core.ignorecase
is enabled. There's not an easy way around it, short of
separating out the "next" pointers from cache_entry entirely
(i.e., having a separate "cache_entry_list" struct that gets
stored in the name_hash). In practice, it probably doesn't
matter; we have thousands of cache entries, compared to the
millions of objects (where adding 4 bytes to the struct
actually does impact performance).

This code calls git_config from a helper function to parse the config entry
it is interested in.  Calling git_config in this way may cause a problem if
the helper function can be called after a previous call to git_config by
another function since the second call to git_config may reset some
variable to the value in the config file which was previously overridden.

The above is not a problem in this case since the function passed to
git_config only parses one config entry and the variable it sets is not
assigned outside of the parsing function.  But a programmer who desires
all of the standard config options to be parsed may be tempted to modify
git_attr_config() so that it falls back to git_default_config() and then it
_would_ be vulnerable to the above described behavior.

So, move the call to git_config up into the top-level cmd_* function and
move the responsibility for parsing core.attributesfile into the main
config file parser.

Which is only the logical thing to do ;-)

Previously, get_sha1_hex() would read one character past the end of a
null-terminated string whose strlen was an even number less than 40.
Although the function correctly returned -1 in these cases, the extra
memory access might have been to uninitialized (or even, conceivably,
unallocated) memory.

Add a check to avoid reading past the end of a string.

entr_repo(..., 0) currently modifies the input to strip away
trailing slashes. This means that we some times need to copy the
input to keep the original.

Change it to unconditionally copy it into the used_path buffer so
we can safely use the input without having to copy it. Also store
a working copy in validated_path up-front before we start
resolving anything.

Passing a prefix to a function that is supposed to find the prefix is
strange. And it's really only used if the pathspec is NULL. Make the
callers handle this case instead.

As we are always returning a fresh copy of a string (or NULL), change the
type of the returned value to non-const "char *".

The function was not gentle at all to the callers and died without giving
them a chance to deal with possible errors. Rename it to read_gitfile(),
and update all the callers.

As no existing caller needs a true "gently" variant, we do not bother
adding one at this point.

Check if <path> is a valid git-dir or a valid git-file that points
to a valid git-dir.

We want tests to be independent from the fact that a git-dir may
be a git-file. Thus we changed tests to use this feature.

The following sequence of commands reveals an issue with error
reporting of relative paths:

 $ mkdir sub
 $ cd sub
 $ git ls-files --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
 error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
 $ git commit --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
 error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.

This bug is visible only if the normalized path (i.e., the relative
path from the repository root) is longer than the prefix.
Otherwise, the code skips over the normalized path and reads from
an unused memory location which still contains a leftover of the
original command line argument.

So instead, use the existing facilities to deal with relative paths
correctly.

Also fix inconsistency between "checkout" and "commit", e.g.

    $ cd Documentation
    $ git checkout nosuch.txt
    error: pathspec 'Documentation/nosuch.txt' did not match...
    $ git commit nosuch.txt
    error: pathspec 'nosuch.txt' did not match...

by propagating the prefix down the codepath that reports the error.

In order to do partial commits, git-commit overlays a tree on the
cache and checks pathspecs against the result. Currently, the
overlaying is done using "prefix" which prevents relative pathspecs
with ".." and absolute pathspec from matching when they refer to
files not under "prefix" and absent from the index, but still in
the tree (i.e.  files staged for removal).

The point of providing a prefix at all is performance optimization.
If we say there is no common prefix for the files of interest, then
we have to read the entire tree into the index.

But even if we cannot use the working directory as a prefix, we can
still figure out if there is a common prefix for all given paths,
and use that instead. The pathspec_prefix() routine from ls-files.c
does exactly that.

Any use of global variables is removed from pathspec_prefix() so
that it can be called from commit.c.
