"To dereference" and "to peel" were sometimes used in in-code
comments and documentation but without description in the glossary.
* vd/glossary-dereference-peel:
glossary: add definitions for dereference & peel
Add 'gitglossary' definitions for "dereference" (as it used for both symrefs
and objects) and "peel". These terms are used in options and documentation
throughout Git, but they are not clearly defined anywhere and the behavior
they refer to depends heavily on context. Provide explicit definitions to
clarify existing documentation to users and help contributors to use the
most appropriate terminology possible in their additions to Git.
Update other definitions in the glossary that use the term "dereference" to
link to 'def_dereference'.

When performing revision queries with `--objects` and
`--use-bitmap-index`, the output may incorrectly contain objects which
are packed, even when the `--unpacked` option is given. This affects
traversals, but also other querying operations, like `--count`,
`--disk-usage`, etc.
Like in the previous commit, the fix is to exclude those objects from
the result set before they are shown to the user (or, in this case,
before the bitmap containing the result of the traversal is enumerated
and its objects listed).
This is performed by a new function in pack-bitmap.c, called
`filter_packed_objects_from_bitmap()`. Note that we do not have to
inspect individual bits in the result bitmap, since we know that the
first N (where N is the number of objects in the bitmap's pack/MIDX)
bits correspond to objects which packed by definition.
In other words, for an object to have a bitmap position (not in the
extended index), it must appear in either the bitmap's pack or one of
the packs in its MIDX.
This presents an appealing optimization to us, which is that we can
simply memset() the corresponding number of `eword_t`'s to zero,
provided that we handle any objects which spill into the next word (but
don't occupy all 64 bits of the word itself).
We only have to handle objects in the bitmap's extended index. These
objects may (or may not) appear in one or more pack(s). Since these
objects are known to not appear in either the bitmap's MIDX or pack,
they may be stored as loose, appear in other pack(s), or both.
Before returning a bitmap containing the result of the traversal back to
the caller, drop any bits from the extended index which appear in one or
more packs. This implements the correct behavior for rev-list operations
which use the bitmap index to compute their result.

In git-rev-list(1), we describe the `--unpacked` option as:
Only useful with `--objects`; print the object IDs that are not in
packs.
This is true of commits, which we discard via get_commit_action(), but
not of the objects they reach. So if we ask for an --objects traversal
with --unpacked, we may get arbitrarily many objects which are indeed
packed.
I am nearly certain this behavior dates back to the introduction of
`--unpacked` via 12d2a18780 ("git rev-list --unpacked" shows only
unpacked commits, 2005-07-03), but I couldn't get that revision of Git
to compile for me. At least as early as v2.0.0 this has been subtly
broken:
$ git.compile --version
git version 2.0.0
$ git.compile rev-list --objects --all --unpacked
72791fe96c93f9ec5c311b8bc966ab349b3b5bbe
05713d991c18bbeef7e154f99660005311b5004d v1.0
153ed8b7719c6f5a68ce7ffc43133e95a6ac0fdb
8e4020bb5a8d8c873b25de15933e75cc0fc275df one
9200b628cf9dc883a85a7abc8d6e6730baee589c two
3e6b46e1b7e3b91acce99f6a823104c28aae0b58 unpacked.t
There, only the first, third, and sixth entries are loose, with the
remaining set of objects belonging to at least one pack.
The implications for this are relatively benign: bare 'git repack'
invocations which invoke pack-objects with --unpacked are impacted, and
at worst we'll store a few extra objects that should have been excluded.
Arguably changing this behavior is a backwards-incompatible change,
since it alters the set of objects emitted from rev-list queries with
`--objects` and `--unpacked`. But I argue that this change is still
sensible, since the existing implementation deviates from
clearly-written documentation.
The fix here is straightforward: avoid showing any non-commit objects
which are contained in packs by discarding them within list-objects.c,
before they are shown to the user. Note that similar treatment for
`list-objects.c::show_commit()` is not needed, since that case is
already handled by `revision.c::get_commit_action()`.

The perl script introduced by 86b008ee61 (t: add library for munging
chunk-format files, 2023-10-09) uses pack("Q") and unpack("Q") to read
and write 64-bit values ("quadwords" in perl parlance) from the on-disk
chunk files. However, some builds of perl may not support 64-bit
integers at all, and throw an exception here. While some 32-bit
platforms may still support 64-bit integers in perl (such as our linux32
CI environment), others reportedly don't (the NonStop 32-bit builds).
We can work around this by treating the 64-bit values as two 32-bit
values. We can't ever combine them into a single 64-bit value, but in
practice this is OK. These are representing file offsets, and our files
are much smaller than 4GB. So the upper half of the 64-bit value will
always be 0.
We can just introduce a few helper functions which perform the
translation and double-check our assumptions.

In April, GitHub announced that the `macos-13` pool is available:
https://github.blog/changelog/2023-04-24-github-actions-macos-13-is-now-available/.
It is only a matter of time until the `macos-12` pool is going away,
therefore we should switch now, without pressure of a looming deadline.
Since the `macos-13` runners no longer include Python2, we also drop
specifically testing with Python2 and switch uniformly to Python3, see
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/HEAD/images/macos/macos-13-Readme.md
for details about the software available on the `macos-13` pool's
runners.
Also, on macOS 13, Homebrew seems to install a `gcc@9` package that no
longer comes with a regular `unistd.h` (there seems only to be a
`ssp/unistd.h`), and hence builds would fail with:
In file included from base85.c:1:
git-compat-util.h:223:10: fatal error: unistd.h: No such file or directory
223 | #include <unistd.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
The reason why we install GCC v9.x explicitly is historical, and back in
the days it was because it was the _newest_ version available via
Homebrew: 176441bfb5 (ci: build Git with GCC 9 in the 'osx-gcc' build
job, 2019-11-27).
To reinstate the spirit of that commit _and_ to fix that build failure,
let's switch to the now-newest GCC version: v13.x.

They are equivalents and the former still exists, so as long as the
only change this commit makes are to rewrite test_i18ngrep to
test_grep, there won't be any new bug, even if there still are
callers of test_i18ngrep remaining in the tree, or when merged to
other topics that add new uses of test_i18ngrep.
This patch was produced more or less with
git grep -l -e 'test_i18ngrep ' 't/t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh' |
xargs perl -p -i -e 's/test_i18ngrep /test_grep /'
and a good way to sanity check the result yourself is to run the
above in a checkout of c4603c1c (test framework: further deprecate
test_i18ngrep, 2023-10-31) and compare the resulting working tree
contents with the result of applying this patch to the same commit.

in addition to the manual reproduction.

There seems to be some internal stack overflow detection in MSVC's
`malloc()` machinery that seems to be independent of the `stack reserve`
and `heap reserve` sizes specified in the executable (editable via
`EDITBIN /STACK:<n> <exe>` and `EDITBIN /HEAP:<n> <exe>`).
In the newly test cases added by `jk/tree-name-and-depth-limit`, this
stack overflow detection is unfortunately triggered before Git can print
out the error message about too-deep trees and exit gracefully. Instead,
it exits with `STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW`. This corresponds to the numeric
value -1073741571, something the MSYS2 runtime we sadly need to use to
run Git's test suite cannot handle and which it internally maps to the
exit code 127. Git's test suite, in turn, mistakes this to mean that the
command was not found, and fails both test cases.

I verified manually that `traverse_trees_cur_depth` was 562 when that
happened, which is far below the 2048 that were already accepted into
Git as a hard limit.
Despite many attempts to figure out which of the internals trigger this
`STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW` and how to maybe increase certain sizes to avoid
running into this issue and let Git behave the same way as under Linux,
I failed to find any build-time/runtime knob we could turn to that
effect.
Note: even switching to using a different allocator (I used mimalloc
because that's what Git for Windows uses for its GCC builds) does not
help, as the zlib code used to unpack compressed pack entries _still_
uses the regular `malloc()`. And runs into the same issue.
Note also: switching to using a different allocator _also_ for zlib code
seems _also_ not to help. I tried that, and it still exited with
`STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW` that seems to have been triggered by a
`mi_assert_internal()`, i.e. an internal assertion of mimalloc...
So the best bet to work around this for now seems to just lower the
maximum allowed tree depth _even further_ for MSVC builds.

Back in 32f3c541e3 (multi-pack-index: write pack names in chunk,
2018-07-12) the MIDX's "Packfile Names" (or "PNAM", for short) chunk was
described as containing an array of string entries. e0d1bcf825 notes
that this is the only chunk in the MIDX format's specification that is
not guaranteed to be 4-byte aligned, and so should be placed last.
This isn't quite accurate: the entries within the PNAM chunk are not
guaranteed to be 4-byte aligned since they are arbitrary strings, but
the chunk itself is 4-byte aligned since the ending is padded with NUL
bytes.
That padding has always been there since 32f3c541e3 via
midx.c::write_midx_pack_names(), which ended with:
i = MIDX_CHUNK_ALIGNMENT - (written % MIDX_CHUNK_ALIGNMENT)
if (i < MIDX_CHUNK_ALIGNMENT) {
unsigned char padding[MIDX_CHUNK_ALIGNMENT];
memset(padding, 0, sizeof(padding))
hashwrite(f, padding, i);
written += i;
}
In fact, 32f3c541e3's log message itself describes the chunk in its
first paragraph with:
Since filenames are not well structured, add padding to keep good
alignment in later chunks.
So these have always been externally aligned. Correct the corresponding
part of our documentation to reflect that.

While we have multiple ways to show the value of a given reference, we
do not have any way to check whether a reference exists at all. While
commands like git-rev-parse(1) or git-show-ref(1) can be used to check
for reference existence in case the reference resolves to something
sane, neither of them can be used to check for existence in some other
scenarios where the reference does not resolve cleanly:
- References which have an invalid name cannot be resolved.
- References to nonexistent objects cannot be resolved.
- Dangling symrefs can be resolved via git-symbolic-ref(1), but this
requires the caller to special case existence checks depending on
whether or not a reference is symbolic or direct.
Furthermore, git-rev-list(1) and other commands do not let the caller
distinguish easily between an actually missing reference and a generic
error.
Taken together, this seems like sufficient motivation to introduce a
separate plumbing command to explicitly check for the existence of a
reference without trying to resolve its contents.
This new command comes in the form of `git show-ref --exists`. This
new mode will exit successfully when the reference exists, with a
specific exit code of 2 when it does not exist, or with 1 when there
has been a generic error.
Note that the only way to properly implement this command is by using
the internal `refs_read_raw_ref()` function. While the public function
`refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` can be made to behave in the same way by
passing various flags, it does not provide any way to obtain the errno
with which the reference backend failed when reading the reference. As
such, it becomes impossible for us to distinguish generic errors from
the explicit case where the reference wasn't found.

The `--missing` object option in rev-list currently works only with
missing blobs/trees. For missing commits the revision walker fails with
a fatal error.
Let's extend the functionality of `--missing` option to also support
commit objects. This is done by adding a `missing_objects` field to
`rev_info`. This field is an `oidset` to which we'll add the missing
commits as we encounter them. The revision walker will now continue the
traversal and call `show_commit()` even for missing commits. In rev-list
we can then check if the commit is a missing commit and call the
existing code for parsing `--missing` objects.
A scenario where this option would be used is to find the boundary
objects between different object directories. Consider a repository with
a main object directory (GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY) and one or more alternate
object directories (GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES). In such a
repository, using the `--missing=print` option while disabling the
alternate object directory allows us to find the boundary objects
between the main and alternate object directory.

* ps/do-not-trust-commit-graph-blindly-for-existence:
commit: detect commits that exist in commit-graph but not in the ODB
commit-graph: introduce envvar to disable commit existence checks
Commit graphs can become stale and contain references to commits that do
not exist in the object database anymore. Theoretically, this can lead
to a scenario where we are able to successfully look up any such commit
via the commit graph even though such a lookup would fail if done via
the object database directly.
As the commit graph is mostly intended as a sort of cache to speed up
parsing of commits we do not want to have diverging behaviour in a
repository with and a repository without commit graphs, no matter
whether they are stale or not. As commits are otherwise immutable, the
only thing that we really need to care about is thus the presence or
absence of a commit.
To address potentially stale commit data that may exist in the graph,
our `lookup_commit_in_graph()` function will check for the commit's
existence in both the commit graph, but also in the object database. So
even if we were able to look up the commit's data in the graph, we would
still pretend as if the commit didn't exist if it is missing in the
object database.
We don't have the same safety net in `parse_commit_in_graph_one()`
though. This function is mostly used internally in "commit-graph.c"
itself to validate the commit graph, and this usage is fine. We do
expose its functionality via `parse_commit_in_graph()` though, which
gets called by `repo_parse_commit_internal()`, and that function is in
turn used in many places in our codebase.
For all I can see this function is never used to directly turn an object
ID into a commit object without additional safety checks before or after
this lookup. What it is being used for though is to walk history via the
parent chain of commits. So when commits in the parent chain of a graph
walk are missing it is possible that we wouldn't notice if that missing
commit was part of the commit graph. Thus, a query like `git rev-parse
HEAD~2` can succeed even if the intermittent commit is missing.
It's unclear whether there are additional ways in which such stale
commit graphs can lead to problems. In any case, it feels like this is a
bigger bug waiting to happen when we gain additional direct or indirect
callers of `repo_parse_commit_internal()`. So let's fix the inconsistent
behaviour by checking for object existence via the object database, as
well.
This check of course comes with a performance penalty. The following
benchmarks have been executed in a clone of linux.git with stable tags
added:
Benchmark 1: git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master)
Time (mean ± σ): 2.913 s ± 0.018 s [User: 2.363 s, System: 0.548 s]

Benchmark 4: git -c core.commitGraph=false rev-list --topo-order --all (git = pks-commit-graph-inconsistency)
Time (mean ± σ): 13.762 s ± 0.116 s [User: 13.094 s, System: 0.667 s]
Range (min … max): 13.645 s … 14.038 s 10 runs
Summary
git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master) ran
1.32 ± 0.02 times faster than git -c core.commitGraph=true rev-list --topo-order --all (git = pks-commit-graph-inconsistency)
4.72 ± 0.05 times faster than git -c core.commitGraph=false rev-list --topo-order --all (git = pks-commit-graph-inconsistency)
4.75 ± 0.04 times faster than git -c core.commitGraph=false rev-list --topo-order --all (git = master)
We look at a ~30% regression in general, but in general we're still a
whole lot faster than without the commit graph. To counteract this, the
new check can be turned off with the `GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA` envvar.

Our `lookup_commit_in_graph()` helper tries to look up commits from the
commit graph and, if it doesn't exist there, falls back to parsing it
from the object database instead. This is intended to speed up the
lookup of any such commit that exists in the database. There is an edge
case though where the commit exists in the graph, but not in the object
database. To avoid returning such stale commits the helper function thus
double checks that any such commit parsed from the graph also exists in
the object database. This makes the function safe to use even when
commit graphs aren't updated regularly.
We're about to introduce the same pattern into other parts of our code
base though, namely `repo_parse_commit_internal()`. Here the extra
sanity check is a bit of a tougher sell: `lookup_commit_in_graph()` was
a newly introduced helper, and as such there was no performance hit by
adding this sanity check. If we added `repo_parse_commit_internal()`
with that sanity check right from the beginning as well, this would
probably never have been an issue to begin with. But by retrofitting it
with this sanity check now we do add a performance regression to
preexisting code, and thus there is a desire to avoid this or at least
give an escape hatch.
In practice, there is no inherent reason why either of those functions
should have the sanity check whereas the other one does not: either both
of them are able to detect this issue or none of them should be. This
also means that the default of whether we do the check should likely be
the same for both. To err on the side of caution, we thus rather want to
make `repo_parse_commit_internal()` stricter than to loosen the checks
that we already have in `lookup_commit_in_graph()`.
The escape hatch is added in the form of a new GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA
environment variable that mirrors GIT_REF_PARANOIA. If enabled, which is
the default, we will double check that commits looked up in the commit
graph via `lookup_commit_in_graph()` also exist in the object database.
This same check will also be added in `repo_parse_commit_internal()`.

As an attempt to come up with a useful mechanism to ensure that
certain messages are left untranslated [*], we earlier wrote
GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON off as a failed experiment.
But the output from the test helper was easier to use while
debugging failed tests, compared to the same test writtein with the
plain-vanilla "grep". Especially when a test that expects a certain
string to appear in the output (e.g. "this test must fail with this
message") fails, "grep message output" would just silently fail and
in a &&-chained sequence of commands, it is hard to tell which step
failed. test_i18ngrep explicitly said "we wanted to see a line that
match this pattern but did not see a hit in this file".
What we have as test_i18ngrep in our tree still retains this verbose
output (even though we got rid of the "poison" support). Let's
rename it to test_grep (because it is no longer about i18n at all)
and then make test_i18ngrep a thin wrapper around it. Existing
callers of test_i18ngrep can be mechanically rewritten to instead
use test_grep over time, but it does not have to be done in this
commit.
[Footnote]
* The idea was that human-facing messages are often translated, but
there are messages that should never be translated. We use
"grep" only for the latter kind of messages, and then run tests
in "poison" mode that spew garbage for translatable messages. If
such a test run fails, it means these messages tested with "grep"
were marked for translation by mistake. test_i18ngrep was to be
used for other messages that are to be translated, and was to
always "succeed" when runing under the "poison" mode.

Only a single PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option can be specified for the same
variable at the same time. This is enforced by get_value(), but the
error messages are imprecise in three ways:
1. If a non-PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option changes the value variable of a
PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option then an ominously vague message is shown:
$ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --set23 --mode1
error: option `mode1' : incompatible with something else
Worse: If the order of options is reversed then no error is reported at
all:
$ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --mode1 --set23
boolean: 0
integer: 23
magnitude: 0
timestamp: 0
string: (not set)
abbrev: 7
verbose: -1
quiet: 0
dry run: no
file: (not set)
Fortunately this can currently only happen in the test helper; actual
Git commands don't share the same variable for the value of options with
and without the flag PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE.
2. If there are multiple options with the same value (synonyms), then
the one that is defined first is shown rather than the one actually
given on the command line, which is confusing:
$ git am --resolved --quit
error: option `quit' is incompatible with --continue
3. Arguments of PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE options are not handled by the
parse-option machinery. This is left to the callback function. We
currently only have a single affected option, --show-current-patch of
git am. Errors for it can show an argument that was not actually given
on the command line:
$ git am --show-current-patch --show-current-patch=diff
error: options '--show-current-patch=diff' and '--show-current-patch=raw' cannot be used together
The options --show-current-patch and --show-current-patch=raw are
synonyms, but the error accuses the user of input they did not actually
made. Or it can awkwardly print a NULL pointer:
$ git am --show-current-patch=diff --show-current-patch
error: options '--show-current-patch=(null)' and '--show-current-patch=diff' cannot be used together
The reasons for these shortcomings is that the current code checks
incompatibility only when encountering a PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option at the
command line, and that it searches the previous incompatible option by
value.
Fix the first two points by checking all PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE variables
after parsing each option and by storing all relevant details if their
value changed. Do that whether or not the changing options has the flag
PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE set. Report an incompatibility only if two options
change the variable to different values and at least one of them is a
PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE option. This changes the output of the first three
examples above to:
$ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --set23 --mode1
error: --mode1 is incompatible with --set23
$ t/helper/test-tool parse-options --mode1 --set23
error: --set23 is incompatible with --mode1
$ git am --resolved --quit
error: --quit is incompatible with --resolved
Store the argument of PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE options of type OPTION_CALLBACK
as well to allow taking over the responsibility for compatibility
checking from the callback function. The next patch will use this
capability to fix the messages for git am --show-current-patch.
Use a linked list for storing the PARSE_OPT_CMDMODE variables. This
somewhat outdated data structure is simple and suffices, as the number
of elements per command is currently only zero or one. We do support
multiple different command modes variables per command, but I don't
expect that we'd ever use a significant number of them. Once we do we
can switch to a hashmap.
Since we no longer need to search the conflicting option, the all_opts
parameter of get_value() is no longer used. Remove it.
Extend the tests to check for both conflicting option names, but don't
insist on a particular order.

If the user writes a message via --compose, send-email will pick up
various headers like "From", "Subject", etc and use them for other
patches as if they were specified on the command-line. But we don't
handle "To", "Cc", or "Bcc" this way; we just tell the user "those
aren't interpeted yet" and ignore them.
But it seems like an obvious thing to want, especially as the same
feature exists when the cover letter is generated separately by
format-patch. There it is gated behind the --to-cover option, but I
don't think we'd need the same control here; since we generate the
--compose template ourselves based on the existing input, if the user
leaves the lines unchanged then the behavior remains the same.
So let's fill in the implementation; like those other headers we already
handle, we just need to assign to the initial_* variables. The only
difference in this case is that they are arrays, so we'll feed them
through parse_address_line() to split them (just like we would when
reading a single string via prompting).

This reverts commit b6049542b9.
Prior to that commit, we read the results of the user editing the
"--compose" message in a loop, picking out parts we cared about, and
streaming the result out to a ".final" file. That commit split the
reading/interpreting into two phases; we'd now read into a hash, and
then pick things out of the hash.
The goal was making the code more readable. And in some ways it did,
because the ugly regexes are confined to the reading phase. But it also
introduced several bugs, because now the two phases need to match each
other. In particular:
- we pick out headers like "Subject: foo" with a case-insensitive
regex, and then use the user-provided header name as the key in a
case-sensitive hash. So if the user wrote "subject: foo", we'd no
longer recognize it as a subject.
- the namespace for the hash keys conflates header names with meta
information like "body". If you put "body: foo" in your message, it
would be misinterpreted as the actual message body (nobody is likely
to do that in practice, but it seems like an unnecessary danger).
- the handling for to/cc/bcc is totally broken. The behavior before
that commit is to recognize and skip those headers, with a note to
the user that they are not yet handled. Not great, but OK. But
after the patch, the reading side now splits the addresses into a
perl array-ref. But the interpreting side doesn't handle this at
all, and blindly prints the stringified array-ref value. This leads
to garbage like:
(mbox) Adding to: ARRAY (0x555b4345c428) from line 'To: ARRAY(0x555b4345c428)'
error: unable to extract a valid address from: ARRAY (0x555b4345c428)
What to do with this address? ([q]uit|[d]rop|[e]dit):
Probably not a huge deal, since nobody should even try to use those
headers in the first place (since they were not implemented). But
the new behavior is worse, and indicative of the sorts of problems
that come from having the two layers.
The revert had a few conflicts, due to later work in this area from
15dc3b9161 (send-email: rename variable for clarity, 2018-03-04) and
d11c943c78 (send-email: support separate Reply-To address, 2018-03-04).
I've ported the changes from those commits over as part of the conflict
resolution.
The new tests show the bugs. Note the use of GIT_SEND_EMAIL_NOTTY in the
second one. Without it, the test is happy to reach outside the test
harness to the developer's actual terminal (when run with the buggy
state before this patch).

The documentation for git-send-email lists the headers handled specially
by --compose in a way that implies that this is the complete set of
headers that are special. But one more was added by d11c943c78
(send-email: support separate Reply-To address, 2018-03-04) and never
documented.
Let's add it, and reword the documentation slightly to avoid having to
specify the list of headers twice (as it is growing and will continue to
do so as we add new features).
If you read the code, you may notice that we also handle MIME-Version
specially, in that we'll avoid over-writing user-provided MIME headers.
I don't think this is worth mentioning, as it's what you'd expect to
happen (as opposed to the other headers, which are picked up to be used
in later emails). And certainly this feature existed when the
documentation was expanded in 01d3861217 (git-send-email.txt: describe
--compose better, 2009-03-16), and we chose not to mention it then.

These error messages say "new_index" as if that spelling has some

The test t5319.88 ("reader bounds-checks large offset table") can fail
intermittently. The failure mode looks like this:
1. An earlier test sets up "objects64", a directory that can be used
to produce a midx with a corrupted large-offsets table. To get the
large offsets, it corrupts the normal ".idx" file to have a fake
large offset, and then builds a midx from that.
That midx now has a large offset table, which is what we want. But
we also have a .idx on disk that has a corrupted entry. We'll call
the object with the corrupted large-offset "X".
2. In t5319.88, we further corrupt the midx by reducing the size of
the large-offset chunk (because our goal is to make sure we do not
do an out-of-bounds read on it).
3. We then enumerate all of the objects with "cat-file --batch-check
--batch-all-objects", expecting to see a complaint when we try to
show object X. We use --batch-all-objects because our objects64
repo doesn't actually have any refs (but if we check them all, one
of them will be the failing one). The default batch-check format
includes %(objecttype) and %(objectsize), both of which require us
to access the actual pack data (and thus requires looking at the
offset).
4a. Usually, this succeeds. We try to output object X, do a lookup via
the midx for the type/size lookup, and run into the corrupt
large-offset table.
4b. But sometimes we hit a different error. If another object points
to X as a delta base, then trying to find the type of that object
requires walking the delta chain to the base entry (since only the
base has the concrete type; deltas themselves are either OFS_DELTA
or REF_DELTA).
Normally this would not require separate offset lookups at all, as
deltas are usually stored as OFS_DELTA, specifying the relative
offset to the base. But the corrupt idx created in step 1 is done
directly with "git pack-objects" and does not pass the
--delta-base-offset option, meaning we have REF_DELTA entries!
Those do have to consult an index to find the location of the base
object, and they use the pack .idx to do this. The same pack .idx
that we know is corrupted from step 1!
Git does notice the error, but it does so by seeing the corrupt
.idx file, not the corrupt midx file, and the error it reports is
different, causing the test to fail.
The set of objects created in the test is deterministic. But the delta
selection seems not to be (which is not too surprising, as it is
multi-threaded). I have seen the failure in Windows CI but haven't
reproduced it locally (not even with --stress). Re-running a failed
Windows CI job tends to work. But when I download and examine the trash
directory from a failed run, it shows a different set of deltas than I
get locally. But the exact source of non-determinism isn't that
important; our test should be robust against any order.
There are a few options to fix this:
a. It would be OK for the "objects64" setup to "unbreak" the .idx file
after generating the midx. But then it would be hard for subsequent
tests to reuse it, since it is the corrupted idx that forces the
midx to have a large offset table.
b. The "objects64" setup could use --delta-base-offset. This would fix
our problem, but earlier tests have many hard-coded offsets. Using
OFS_DELTA would change the locations of objects in the pack (this
might even be OK because I think most of the offsets are within the
.idx file, but it seems brittle and I'm afraid to touch it).
c. Our cat-file output is in oid order by default. Since we store
bases before deltas, if we went in pack order (using the
"--unordered" flag), we'd always see our corrupt X before any delta
which depends on it. But using "--unordered" means we skip the midx
entirely. That makes sense, since it is just enumerating all of
the packs, using the offsets found in their .idx files directly.
So it doesn't work for our test.
d. We could ask directly about object X, rather than enumerating all
of them. But that requires further hard-coding of the oid (both
sha1 and sha256) of object X. I'd prefer not to introduce more
brittleness.
e. We can use a --batch-check format that looks at the pack data, but
doesn't have to chase deltas. The problem in this case is
%(objecttype), which has to walk to the base. But %(objectsize)
does not; we can get the value directly from the delta itself.
Another option would be %(deltabase), where we report the REF_DELTA
name but don't look at its data.
I've gone with option (e) here. It's kind of subtle, but it's simple and
has no side effects.

The index stores file sizes using a uint32_t. This causes any file
that is a multiple of 2^32 to have a cached file size of zero.
Zero is a special value used by racily clean. This causes git to
rehash every file that is a multiple of 2^32 every time git status
or git commit is run.
This patch mitigates the problem by making all files that are a
multiple of 2^32 appear to have a size of 1<<31 instead of zero.
The value of 1<<31 is chosen to keep it as far away from zero
as possible to help prevent things getting mixed up with unpatched
versions of git.
An example would be to have a 2^32 sized file in the index of
patched git. Patched git would save the file as 2^31 in the cache.
An unpatched git would very much see the file has changed in size
and force it to rehash the file, which is safe. The file would
have to grow or shrink by exactly 2^31 and retain all of its
ctime, mtime, and other attributes for old git to not notice
the change.
This patch does not change the behavior of any file that is not
an exact multiple of 2^32.

produces, as these two are implementation details of the end-user

Worse yet, because "git stash drop" does not allow such a stash

When mostly the same set of options are to be used to perform
multiple merges, one instance of the merge_options structure may
want to be created and used by copying from the same template
instance. We saw such a use recently in "git merge-tree".
Let's make the pattern official by introducing copy_merge_options()
as a supported way to make a copy of the structure, and also give
clear_merge_options() to release any resources held by a copied
instance. Currently we only make a shallow copy, so the former is a
mere structure assignment while the latter is a no-op, but this may
change in the future as the members of merge_options structure

Some references are special in the context of worktrees as they are
considered to be per-worktree instead of shared across all of the
worktrees. Most importantly, this includes "refs/worktree/" that have
explicitly been designed such that users can create per-woorktree refs.
But there are also special references that have an associated meaning
like "refs/bisect/", which is used to track state of git-bisect(1).
These special per-worktree references are documented in git-worktree(1),
but one instance is missing. In a9be29c981 (sequencer: make refs
generated by the `label` command worktree-local, 2018-04-25), we have
converted "refs/rewritten/" to be a per-worktree reference as well.
These references are used by our sequencer infrastructure to generate
labels for rebased commits. So in order to allow for multiple concurrent
rebases to happen in different worktrees, these references need to be
tracked per worktree.
We forgot to update our documentation to mention these new per-worktree
references, which is fixed by this patch.

The BIDX chunk tells us the offsets at which each commit's Bloom filters
can be found in the BDAT chunk. We compute the length of each filter by
checking the offsets of neighbors and subtracting them.
If the offsets are out of order, then we'll get a negative length, which
we then store as a very large unsigned value. This can cause us to read
out-of-bounds memory, as we access the hash data modulo "filter->len *
BITS_PER_WORD".
We can easily detect this case when loading the individual filters.

We load the bloom_filter_indexes chunk using pair_chunk(), so we have no
idea how big it is. This can lead to out-of-bounds reads if it is
smaller than expected, since we index it based on the number of commits
found elsewhere in the graph file.
We can check the chunk size up front, like we do for CDAT and other
chunks with one fixed-size record per commit.
The test case demonstrates the problem. It actually won't segfault,
because we end up reading random data from the follow-on chunk (BDAT in
this case), and the bounds checks added in the previous patch complain.
But this is by no means assured, and you can craft a commit-graph file
with BIDX at the end (or a smaller BDAT) that does segfault.

When loading Bloom filters from a commit-graph file, we use the offset
values in the BIDX chunk to index into the memory mapped for the BDAT
chunk. But since we don't record how big the BDAT chunk is, we just
trust that the BIDX offsets won't cause us to read outside of the chunk
memory. A corrupted or malicious commit-graph file will cause us to
segfault (in practice this isn't a very interesting attack, since
commit-graph files are local-only, and the worst case is an
out-of-bounds read).
We can't fix this by checking the chunk size during parsing, since the
data in the BDAT chunk doesn't have a fixed size (that's why we need the
BIDX in the first place). So we'll fix it in two parts:
1. Record the BDAT chunk size during parsing, and then later check
that the BIDX offsets we look up are within bounds.
2. Because the offsets are relative to the end of the BDAT header, we
must also make sure that the BDAT chunk is at least as large as the
expected header size. Otherwise, we overflow when trying to move
past the header, even for an offset of "0". We can check this
early, during the parsing stage.
The error messages are rather verbose, but since this is not something
you'd expect to see outside of severe bugs or corruption, it makes sense
to err on the side of too many details. Sadly we can't mention the
filename during the chunk-parsing stage, as we haven't set g->filename
at this point, nor passed it down through the stack.

If the generation entry in a commit-graph doesn't fit, we instead insert
an offset into a generation overflow chunk. But since we don't record
the size of the chunk, we may read outside the chunk if the offset we
find on disk is malicious or corrupted.
We can't check the size of the chunk up-front; it will vary based on how
many entries need overflow. So instead, we'll do a bounds-check before
accessing the chunk memory. Unfortunately there is no error-return from
this function, so we'll just have to die(), which is what it does for
other forms of corruption.
As with other cases, we can drop the st_mult() call, since we know our
bounds-checked value will fit within a size_t.
Before this patch, the test here actually "works" because we read
garbage data from the next chunk. And since that garbage data happens
not to provide a generation number which changes the output, it appears
to work. We could construct a case that actually segfaults or produces
wrong output, but it would be a bit tricky. For our purposes its
sufficient to check that we've detected the bounds error.

We neither check nor record the size of the generations chunk we parse

outside the mapped memory.
The included test segfaults without this patch, as it shrinks the size
considerably (and the chunk is near the end of the file, so we read off
the end of the array rather than accidentally reading another chunk).

When we are loading a commit-graph chain, we check that each slice of the
chain points to the appropriate set of base graphs via its BASE chunk.
But since we don't record the size of the chunk, we may access
out-of-bounds memory if the file is corrupted.
Since we know the number of entries we expect to find (based on the
position within the commit-graph-chain file), we can just check the size
up front.
In theory this would also let us drop the st_mult() call a few lines
later when we actually access the memory, since we know that the
computed offset will fit in a size_t. But because the operands
"g->hash_len" and "n" have types "unsigned char" and "int", we'd have to
cast to size_t first. Leaving the st_mult() does that cast, and makes it
more obvious that we don't have an overflow problem.
Note that the test does not actually segfault before this patch, since
it just reads garbage from the chunk after BASE (and indeed, it even
rejects the file because that garbage does not have the expected hash
value). You could construct a file with BASE at the end that did
segfault, but corrupting the existing one is easy, and we can check
stderr for the expected message.

If an entry in a commit-graph file has more than 2 parents, the
fixed-size parent fields instead point to an offset within an "extra
edges" chunk. We blindly follow these, assuming that the chunk is
present and sufficiently large; this can lead to an out-of-bounds read
for a corrupt or malicious file.
We can fix this by recording the size of the chunk and adding a
bounds-check in fill_commit_in_graph(). There are a few tricky bits:
1. We'll switch from working with a pointer to an offset. This makes
some corner cases just fall out naturally:
a. If we did not find an EDGE chunk at all, our size will
correctly be zero (so everything is "out of bounds").
b. Comparing "size / 4" lets us make sure we have at least 4 bytes
to read, and we never compute a pointer more than one element
past the end of the array (computing a larger pointer is
probably OK in practice, but is technically undefined
behavior).
c. The current code casts to "uint32_t *". Replacing it with an
offset avoids any comparison between different types of pointer
(since the chunk is stored as "unsigned char *").
2. This is the first case in which fill_commit_in_graph() may return
anything but success. We need to make sure to roll back the
"parsed" flag (and any parents we might have added before running
out of buffer) so that the caller can cleanly fall back to
loading the commit object itself.
It's a little non-trivial to do this, and we might benefit from
factoring it out. But we can wait on that until we actually see a
second case where we return an error.
As a bonus, this lets us drop the st_mult() call. Since we've already
done a bounds check, we know there won't be any integer overflow (it
would imply our buffer is larger than a size_t can hold).
The included test does not actually segfault before this patch (though
you could construct a case where it does). Instead, it reads garbage
from the next chunk which results in it complaining about a bogus parent
id. This is sufficient for our needs, though (we care that the fallback
succeeds, and that stderr mentions the out-of-bounds read).

We expect a commit-graph file to have a fixed-size data record for each
commit in the file (and we know the number of commits to expct from the

small, we'll look past the end of the chunk (and possibly even off the
mapped memory).
We can fix this by checking the size up front when we record the
pointer.
The included test doesn't segfault, since it ends up reading bytes
from another chunk. But it produces nonsense results, since the values
it reads are garbage. Our test notices this by comparing the output to a
non-corrupted run of the same command (and of course we also check that
the expected error is printed to stderr).

When we load a revindex from disk, we check the size of the file
compared to the number of objects we expect it to have. But when we use
a RIDX chunk stored directly in the midx, we just access the memory
directly. This can lead to out-of-bounds memory access for a corrupted
or malicious multi-pack-index file.
We can catch this by recording the RIDX chunk size, and then checking it
against the expected size when we "load" the revindex. Note that this
check is much simpler than the one that load_revindex_from_disk() does,
because we just have the data array with no header (so we do not need
to account for the header size, and nor do we need to bother validating
the header values).
The test confirms both that we catch this case, and that we continue the
process (the revindex is required to use the midx bitmaps, but we
fallback to a non-bitmap traversal).

When we see a large offset bit in the regular midx offset table, we

a pack idx does). But we don't bounds-check the access to that large
offset table (nor even record its size when we parse the chunk!).
The equivalent code for a regular pack idx is in check_pack_index_ptr().
But things are a bit simpler here because of the chunked format: we can
just check our array index directly.
As a bonus, we can get rid of the st_mult() here. If our array
bounds-check is successful, then we know that the result will fit in a
size_t (and the bounds check uses a division to avoid overflow
entirely).

The midx reader assumes chunks are aligned to a 4-byte boundary: we
treat the fanout chunk as an array of uint32_t, indexing it to feed the
results to ntohl(). Without aligning the chunks, we may violate the
CPU's alignment constraints. Though many platforms allow this, some do
not. And certanily UBSan will complain, since it is undefined behavior.
Even though most chunks are naturally 4-byte-aligned (because they are
storing uint32_t or larger types), PNAM is not. It stores NUL-terminated
pack names, so you can have a valid chunk with any length. The writing
side handles this by 4-byte-aligning the chunk, introducing a few extra
NULs as necessary. But since we don't check this on the reading side, we
may end up with a misaligned fanout and trigger the undefined behavior.
We have two options here:
1. Swap out ntohl(fanout[i]) for get_be32(fanout+i) everywhere. The
latter handles alignment itself. It's possible that it's slightly
slower (though in practice I'm not sure how true that is,
especially for these code paths which then go on to do a binary
search).
2. Enforce the alignment when reading the chunks. This is easy to do,
since the table-of-contents reader can check it in one spot.
I went with the second option here, just because it places less burden
on maintenance going forward (it is OK to continue using ntohl), and we
know it can't have any performance impact on the actual reads.
The commit-graph code uses the same chunk API. It's usually also 4-byte
aligned, but some chunks are not (like Bloom filter BDAT chunks). So
we'll pass "1" here to allow any alignment. It doesn't suffer from the
same problem as midx with its fanout because the fanout chunk is always
the first (and the rest of the format dictates that the first chunk will
start aligned).
The new test shows the effect on a midx with a misaligned PNAM chunk.
Note that the midx-reading code treats chunk-toc errors as soft, falling
back to the non-midx path rather than calling die(), as we do for other
parsing errors. Arguably we should make all of these behave the same,
but that's out of scope for this patch. For now the test just expects
the fallback behavior.

We parse the pack-name chunk as a series of NUL-terminated strings. But
since we don't look at the chunk size, there's nothing to guarantee that
we don't parse off the end of the chunk (or even off the end of the
mapped file).
We can record the length, and then as we parse make sure that we never
walk past it.
The new test exercises the case, though note that it does not actually
segfault before this patch. It hits a NUL byte somewhere in one of the
other chunks, and comes up with a garbage pack name. You could construct
one that reads out-of-bounds (e.g., a PNAM chunk at the end of file),
but this case is simple and sufficient to check that we detect the

We use bsearch_hash() to look up items in the oid index of a
commit-graph. It also has a fanout table to reduce the initial range in
which we'll search. But since the fanout comes from the on-disk file, a
corrupted or malicious file can cause us to look outside of the
allocated index memory.
One solution here would be to pass the total table size to
bsearch_hash(), which could then bounds check the values it reads from
the fanout. But there's an inexpensive up-front check we can do, and
it's the same one used by the midx and pack idx code (both of which
likewise have fanout tables and use bsearch_hash(), but are not affected
by this bug):
1. We can check the value of the final fanout entry against the size
of the table we got from the index chunk. These must always match,
since the fanout is just slicing up the index.
As a side note, the midx and pack idx code compute it the other
way around: they use the final fanout value as the object count, and
check the index size against it. Either is valid; if they
disagree we cannot know which is wrong (a corrupted fanout value,
or a too-small table of oids).
2. We can quickly scan the fanout table to make sure it is
monotonically increasing. If it is, then we know that every value
is less than or equal to the final value, and therefore less than
or equal to the table size.
It would also be sufficient to just check that each fanout value is
smaller than the final one, but the midx and pack idx code both do
a full monotonicity check. It's the same cost, and it catches some
other corruptions (though not all; the checks done by "commit-graph
verify" are more complete but more expensive, and our goal here is
to be fast and memory-safe).
There are two new tests. One just checks the final fanout value (this is
the mirror image of the "too small oid lookup" case added for the midx
in the previous commit; it's flipped here because commit-graph considers
the oid lookup chunk to be the source of truth).
The other actually creates a fanout with many out-of-bounds entries, and
prior to this patch, it does cause the segfault you'd expect. But note
that the error is not "your fanout entry is out-of-bounds", but rather
"fanout value out of order". That's because we leave the final fanout
value in place (to get past the table size check), making the index
non-monotonic (the second-to-last entry is big, but the last one must
remain small to match the actual table).
We need adjustments to a few existing tests, as well:
- an earlier test in t5318 corrupts the fanout and runs "commit-graph
verify". Its message is now changed, since we catch the problem
earlier (during the load step, rather than the careful validation
step).
- in t5324, we test that "commit-graph verify --shallow" does not do
expensive verification on the base file of the chain. But the
corruption it uses (munging a byte at offset 1000) happens to be in
the middle of the fanout table. And now we detect that problem in
the cheaper checks that are performed for every part of the graph.
We'll push this back to offset 1500, which is only caught by the
more expensive checksum validation.
Likewise, there's a later test in t5324 which munges an offset 100
bytes into a file (also in the fanout table) that is referenced by
an alternates file. So we now find that corruption during the load
step, rather than the verification step. At the very least we need
to change the error message (like the case above in t5318). But it
is probably good to make sure we handle all parts of the
verification even for alternate graph files. So let's likewise
corrupt byte 1500 and make sure we found the invalid checksum.

lookup chunk is too small (or if the fanout is corrupted; when they
don't agree we cannot tell which one is wrong).

We load the oid fanout chunk with pair_chunk(), which means we never see
the size of the chunk. We just assume the on-disk file uses the
appropriate size, and if it's too small we'll access random memory.
It's easy to check this up-front; the fanout always consists of 256
uint32's, since it is a fanout of the first byte of the hash pointing
into the oid index. These parameters can't be changed without
introducing a new chunk type.
This matches the similar check in the midx OIDF chunk (but note that
rather than checking for the error immediately, the graph code just

When we load the oid-fanout chunk, our callback checks that its size is
reasonable and returns an error if not. However, the caller only checks
our return value against CHUNK_NOT_FOUND, so we end up ignoring the
error completely! Using a too-small fanout table means we end up
accessing random memory for the fanout and segfault.
We can fix this by checking for any non-zero return value, rather than
just CHUNK_NOT_FOUND, and adjusting our error message to cover both
cases. We could handle each error code individually, but there's not
much point for such a rare case. The extra message produced in the
callback makes it clear what is going on.
The same pattern is used in the adjacent code. Those cases are actually
OK for now because they do not use a custom callback, so the only error
they can get is CHUNK_NOT_FOUND. But let's convert them, as this is an
accident waiting to happen (especially as we convert some of them away
from pair_chunk). The error messages are more verbose, but it should be
rare for a user to see these anyway.

When testing corruption of files using the chunk format (like
commit-graphs and midx files), it's helpful to be able to modify bytes
in specific chunks. This requires being able both to read the
table-of-contents (to find the chunk to modify) but also to adjust it
(to account for size changes in the offsets of subsequent chunks).
We have some tests already which corrupt chunk files, but they have some
downsides:
1. They are very brittle, as they manually compute the expected size
of a particular instance of the file (e.g., see the definitions
starting with NUM_OBJECTS in t5319).
2. Because they rely on manual offsets and don't read the
table-of-contents, they're limited to overwriting bytes. But there
are many interesting corruptions that involve changing the sizes of
chunks (especially smaller-than-expected ones).
This patch adds a perl script which makes such corruptions easy. We'll

The pair_chunk() function is provided as an easy helper for parsing
chunks that just want a pointer to a set of bytes. But every caller has
a hidden bug: because we return only the pointer without the matching
chunk size, the callers have no clue how many bytes they are allowed to
look at. And as a result, they may read off the end of the mmap'd data
when the on-disk file does not match their expectations.
Since chunk files are typically used for local-repository data like
commit-graph files and midx's, the security implications here are pretty
mild. The worst that can happen is that you hand somebody a corrupted
repository tarball, and running Git on it does an out-of-bounds read and
crashes. So it's worth being more defensive, but we don't need to drop
everything and fix every caller immediately.
I noticed the problem because the pair_chunk_fn() callback does not look
at its chunk_size argument, and wanted to annotate it to silence
-Wunused-parameter. We could do that now, but we'd lose the hint that
this code should be audited and fixed.
So instead, let's set ourselves up for going down that path:
1. Provide a pair_chunk() function that does return the size, which
prepares us for fixing these cases.
2. Rename the existing function to pair_chunk_unsafe(). That gives us
an easy way to grep for cases which still need to be fixed, and the
name should cause anybody adding new calls to think twice before
using it.
There are no callers of the "safe" version yet, but we'll add some in
subsequent patches.

Modify the 'readdir' loop in 'loose_fill_ref_dir' to, rather than 'stat' a
file to determine whether it is a directory or not, use 'get_dtype'.
Currently, the loop uses 'stat' to determine whether each dirent is a
directory itself or not in order to construct the appropriate ref cache
entry. If 'stat' fails (returning a negative value), the dirent is silently
skipped; otherwise, 'S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)' is used to check whether the entry
is a directory.
On platforms that include an entry's d_type in in the 'dirent' struct, this
extra 'stat' check is redundant. We can use the 'get_dtype' method to
extract this information on platforms that support it (i.e. where
NO_D_TYPE_IN_DIRENT is unset), and derive it with 'stat' on platforms that
don't. Because 'stat' is an expensive call, this confers a
modest-but-noticeable performance improvement when iterating over large
numbers of refs (approximately 20% speedup in 'git for-each-ref' in a 30k
ref repo).
Unlike other existing usage of 'get_dtype', the 'follow_symlinks' arg is set
to 1 to replicate the existing handling of symlink dirents. This
unfortunately requires calling 'stat' on the associated entry regardless of
platform, but symlinks in the loose ref store are highly unlikely since
they'd need to be created manually by a user.
Note that this patch also changes the condition for skipping creation of a
ref entry from "when 'stat' fails" to "when the d_type is anything other
than DT_REG or DT_DIR". If a dirent's d_type is DT_UNKNOWN (either because
the platform doesn't support d_type in dirents or some other reason) or
DT_LNK, 'get_dtype' will try to derive the underlying type with 'stat'. If
the 'stat' fails, the d_type will remain 'DT_UNKNOWN' and dirent will be
skipped. However, it will also be skipped if it is any other valid d_type
(e.g. DT_FIFO for named pipes, DT_LNK for a nested symlink). Git does not
handle these properly anyway, so we can safely constrain accepted types to
directories and regular files.

Add a 'follow_symlink' boolean option to 'get_type()'. If 'follow_symlink'
is enabled, DT_LNK (in addition to DT_UNKNOWN) d_types triggers the
stat-based d_type resolution, using 'stat' instead of 'lstat' to get the
type of the followed symlink. Note that symlinks are not followed
recursively, so a symlink pointing to another symlink will still resolve to
DT_LNK.

Update 'cache_ref_iterator_advance' to skip over refs that are not matched
by the given prefix.
Currently, a ref entry is considered "matched" if the entry name is fully
contained within the prefix:
* prefix: "refs/heads/v1"
* entry: "refs/heads/v1.0"
OR if the prefix is fully contained in the entry name:
* prefix: "refs/heads/v1.0"
* entry: "refs/heads/v1"
The first case is always correct, but the second is only correct if the ref
cache entry is a directory, for example:
* prefix: "refs/heads/example"
* entry: "refs/heads/"
Modify the logic in 'cache_ref_iterator_advance' to reflect these
expectations:
1. If 'overlaps_prefix' returns 'PREFIX_EXCLUDES_DIR', then the prefix and
ref cache entry do not overlap at all. Skip this entry.
2. If 'overlaps_prefix' returns 'PREFIX_WITHIN_DIR', then the prefix matches
inside this entry if it is a directory. Skip if the entry is not a
directory, otherwise iterate over it.
3. Otherwise, 'overlaps_prefix' returned 'PREFIX_CONTAINS_DIR', indicating
that the cache entry (directory or not) is fully contained by or equal to
the prefix. Iterate over this entry.
Note that condition 2 relies on the names of directory entries having the
appropriate trailing slash. The existing function documentation of
'create_dir_entry' explicitly calls out the trailing slash requirement, so
this is a safe assumption to make.
This bug generally doesn't have any user-facing impact, since it requires:
1. using a non-empty prefix without a trailing slash in an iteration like
'for_each_fullref_in',
2. the callback to said iteration not reapplying the original filter (as
for-each-ref does) to ensure unmatched refs are skipped, and
3. the repository having one or more refs that match part of, but not all
of, the prefix.
However, there are some niche scenarios that meet those criteria
(specifically, 'rev-parse --bisect' and '(log|show|shortlog) --bisect'). Add
tests covering those cases to demonstrate the fix in this patch.

The DESCRIPTION's "first form" is actually the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th
form in SYNOPSIS, the "second form" is the 4th one.
Interestingly, this state of affairs was introduced in
97fe725075 (cat-file docs: fix SYNOPSIS and "-h" output, 2021-12-28)
with the claim of "Now the two will match again." ("the two" being
DESCRIPTION and SYNOPSIS)...
The description also suffers from other correctness and clarity issues,
e.g., the "first form" paragraph discusses -p, -s and -t, but leaves out
-e, which is included in the corresponding SYNOPSIS section; the second
paragraph mentions <format>, which doesn't occur in SYNOPSIS at all, and
of the three batch options, really only describes the behavior of
--batch-check. Also the mention of "drivers" seems an implementation
detail not adding much clarity in a short summary (and isn't expanded

Rather than trying to maintain one-to-one (or N-to-M) correspondence
between the DESCRIPTION and SYNOPSIS forms, creating duplication and
providing opportunities for error, shorten the former into a concise

non-batch, leaving details to the subsequent manual sections.

We build up a string list of listen addresses from the command-line
arguments, but never free it. This causes t5811 to complain of a leak
(though curiously it seems to do so only when compiled with gcc, not
with clang).
To handle this correctly, we have to do a little refactoring:
- there are two exit points from the main function, depending on
whether we are entering the main loop or serving a single client
(since rather than a traditional fork model, we re-exec ourselves
with the extra "--serve" argument to accommodate Windows).
We don't need --listen at all in the --serve case, of course, but it
is passed along by the parent daemon, which simply copies all of the
command-line options it got.
- we just "return serve()" to run the main loop, giving us no chance
to do any cleanup
So let's use a "ret" variable to store the return code, and give
ourselves a single exit point at the end. That gives us one place to do
cleanup.
Note that this code also uses the "use a no-dup string-list, but
allocate strings we add to it" trick, meaning string_list_clear() will
not realize it should free them. We can fix this by switching to a "dup"
string-list, but using the "append_nodup" function to add to it (this is
preferable to tweaking the strdup_strings flag before clearing, as it
puts all the subtle memory-ownership code together).

The point of release_revisions() is to free memory associated with the
rev_info struct, but we have several "struct decoration" members that
are left untouched. Since the previous commit introduced a function to
do that, we can just call it.
We do have to provide some specialized callbacks to map the void
pointers onto real ones (the alternative would be casting the existing
function pointers; this generally works because "void *" is usually
interchangeable with a struct pointer, but it is technically forbidden
by the standard).
Since the line-log code does not expose the type it stores in the
decoration (nor of course the function to free it), I put this behind a
generic line_log_free() entry point. It's possible we may need to add
more line-log specific bits anyway (running t4211 shows a number of
other leaks in the line-log code).
While this doubtless cleans up many leaks triggered by the test suite,
the only script which becomes leak-free is t4217, as it does very little
beyond a simple traversal (its existing leak was from the use of
--children, which is now fixed).

There's not currently any way to free the resources associated with a
decoration struct. As a result, we have several memory leaks which
cannot easily be plugged.
Let's add a "clear" function and make use of it in the example code of
t9004. This removes the only leak from that script, so we can mark it as
passing the leak sanitizer.
Curiously this leak is found only when running SANITIZE=leak with clang,
but not with gcc. But it is a bog-standard leak: we allocate some
memory in a local variable struct, and then exit main() without
releasing it. I'm not sure why gcc doesn't find it. After this
patch, both compilers report it as leak-free.
Note that the clear function takes a callback to free the individual
entries. That's not needed for our example (which is just decorating
with ints), but will be for real callers.

When doing a `--geometric` repack, we make sure that the preferred pack
(if writing a MIDX) is the largest pack that we *didn't* repack. That
has the effect of keeping the preferred pack in sync with the pack
containing a majority of the repository's reachable objects.
But if the repository happens to double in size, we'll repack
everything. Here we don't specify any `--preferred-pack`, and instead
let the MIDX code choose.
In the past, that worked fine, since there would only be one pack to
choose from: the one we just wrote. But it's no longer necessarily the
case that there is one pack to choose from. It's possible that the
repository also has a cruft pack, too.
If the cruft pack happens to come earlier in lexical order (and has an
earlier mtime than any non-cruft pack), we'll pick that pack as
preferred. This makes it impossible to reuse chunks of the reachable
pack verbatim from pack-objects, so is sub-optimal.
Luckily, this is a somewhat rare circumstance to be in, since we would
have to repack the entire repository during a `--geometric` repack, and
the cruft pack would have to sort ahead of the pack we just created.

Cruft packs are an alternative mechanism for storing a collection of
unreachable objects whose mtimes are recent enough to avoid being
pruned out of the repository.
When cruft packs were first introduced back in b757353676
(builtin/pack-objects.c: --cruft without expiration, 2022-05-20) and
a7d493833f (builtin/pack-objects.c: --cruft with expiration,
2022-05-20), the recommended workflow consisted of:
- Repacking periodically, either by packing anything loose in the
repository (via `git repack -d`) or producing a geometric sequence
of packs (via `git repack --geometric=<d> -d`).
- Every so often, splitting the repository into two packs, one cruft
to store the unreachable objects, and another non-cruft pack to
store the reachable objects.
Repositories may (out of band with the above) choose periodically to
prune out some unreachable objects which have aged out of the grace
period by generating a pack with `--cruft-expiration=<approxidate>`.
This allowed repositories to maintain relatively few packs on average,
and quarantine unreachable objects together in a cruft pack, avoiding
the pitfalls of holding unreachable objects as loose while they age out
(for more, see some of the details in 3d89a8c118
(Documentation/technical: add cruft-packs.txt, 2022-05-20)).
This all works, but can be costly from an I/O-perspective when
frequently repacking a repository that has many unreachable objects.
This problem is exacerbated when those unreachable objects are rarely
(if every) pruned.
Since there is at most one cruft pack in the above scheme, each time we
update the cruft pack it must be rewritten from scratch. Because much of
the pack is reused, this is a relatively inexpensive operation from a
CPU-perspective, but is very costly in terms of I/O since we end up
rewriting basically the same pack (plus any new unreachable objects that
have entered the repository since the last time a cruft pack was
generated).
At the time, we decided against implementing more robust support for
multiple cruft packs. This patch implements that support which we were
lacking.
Introduce a new option `--max-cruft-size` which allows repositories to
accumulate cruft packs up to a given size, after which point a new
generation of cruft packs can accumulate until it reaches the maximum
size, and so on. To generate a new cruft pack, the process works like
so:
- Sort a list of any existing cruft packs in ascending order of pack
size.
- Starting from the beginning of the list, group cruft packs together
while the accumulated size is smaller than the maximum specified
pack size.
- Combine the objects in these cruft packs together into a new cruft
pack, along with any other unreachable objects which have since
entered the repository.
Once a cruft pack grows beyond the size specified via `--max-cruft-size`
the pack is effectively frozen. This limits the I/O churn up to a
quadratic function of the value specified by the `--max-cruft-size`
option, instead of behaving quadratically in the number of total
unreachable objects.
When pruning unreachable objects, we bypass the new code paths which
combine small cruft packs together, and instead start from scratch,
passing in the appropriate `--max-pack-size` down to `pack-objects`,
putting it in charge of keeping the resulting set of cruft packs sized
correctly.
This may seem like further I/O churn, but in practice it isn't so bad.
We could prune old cruft packs for whom all or most objects are removed,
and then generate a new cruft pack with just the remaining set of
objects. But this additional complexity buys us relatively little,
because most objects end up being pruned anyway, so the I/O churn is
well contained.

The repack builtin takes a `--max-pack-size` command-line argument which
it uses to feed into any of the pack-objects children that it may spawn
when generating a new pack.
This option is parsed with OPT_STRING, meaning that we'll accept
anything as input, punting on more fine-grained validation until we get
down into pack-objects.
This is fine, but it's wasteful to spend an entire sub-process just to
figure out that one of its option is bogus. Instead, parse the value of
`--max-pack-size` with OPT_MAGNITUDE in 'git repack', and then pass the
known-good result down to pack-objects.

When reading the graph chain file, we open (and allocate) each
individual slice it mentions and then add them to a linked-list chain.
But if adding to the chain fails (e.g., because the base-graph chunk it
contains didn't match what we expected), we leave the function without
freeing the graph struct that caused the failure, leaking it.
We can fix it by calling free_graph_commit().

When adding a graph to a chain, we do some consistency checks and then
if everything looks good, set g->base_graph to add a link to the chain.
But when we added a new consistency check in 209250ef38 (commit-graph.c:
prevent overflow in add_graph_to_chain(), 2023-07-12), it comes _after_
we've already set g->base_graph. So we might return failure, even though
we actually added to the chain.
This hasn't caused a bug yet, because after failing to add to the chain,
we discard the failed graph struct completely, leaking it. But in order
to fix that, it's important that the struct be in a consistent and
predictable state after the failure.

When running "commit-graph verify", we call free_commit_graph(). That's
sufficient for the case of a single graph file, but if we loaded a chain
of split graph files, they form a linked list via the base_graph
pointers. We need to free all of them, or we leak all but the first
struct.
We can make this work by teaching free_commit_graph() to walk the
base_graph pointers and free each element. This in turn lets us simplify
close_commit_graph(), which does the same thing by recursion (we cannot
just use close_commit_graph() in "commit-graph verify", as the function
takes a pointer to an object store, and the verify command creates a
single one-off graph struct).
While indenting the code in free_commit_graph() for the loop, I noticed
that setting g->data to NULL is rather pointless, as we free the struct
a few lines later. So I cleaned that up while we're here.

When closing and freeing a commit-graph, the main entry point is
close_commit_graph(), which then uses close_commit_graph_one() to
recurse through the base_graph links and free each one.
Commit 957ba814bf (commit-graph: when closing the graph, also release
the slab, 2021-09-08) put the call to clear the slab into the recursive
function, but this is pointless: there's only a single global slab
variable. It works OK in practice because clearing the slab is
idempotent, but it makes the code harder to reason about and refactor.
Move it into the parent function so it's only called once (and there are
no other direct callers of the recursive close_commit_graph_one(), so we
are not hurting them).

We call repo_get_merge_bases(), which allocates a commit_list, but never
free the result, causing a leak.
The obvious solution is to free it, but we need to look at the contents
of the first item to decide whether to leave the loop. One option is to
free it in both code paths. But since the commit that the list points to
is longer-lived than the list itself, we can just dereference it
immediately, free the list, and then continue with the existing logic.
This is about the same amount of code, but keeps the list management all

A previous commit has implemented `git repack --filter=<filter-spec>` to
allow users to filter out some objects from the main pack and move them
into a new different pack.
It would be nice if this new different pack could be created in a
different directory than the regular pack. This would make it possible
to move large blobs into a pack on a different kind of storage, for
example cheaper storage.
Even in a different directory, this pack can be accessible if, for
example, the Git alternates mechanism is used to point to it. In fact
not using the Git alternates mechanism can corrupt a repo as the
generated pack containing the filtered objects might not be accessible
from the repo any more. So setting up the Git alternates mechanism
should be done before using this feature if the user wants the repo to
be fully usable while this feature is used.
In some cases, like when a repo has just been cloned or when there is no
other activity in the repo, it's Ok to setup the Git alternates
mechanism afterwards though. It's also Ok to just inspect the generated
packfile containing the filtered objects and then just move it into the
'.git/objects/pack/' directory manually. That's why it's not necessary
for this command to check that the Git alternates mechanism has been
already setup.
While at it, as an example to show that `--filter` and `--filter-to`
work well with other options, let's also add a test to check that these
options work well with `--max-pack-size`.

This new option puts the objects specified by `<filter-spec>` into a
separate packfile.
This could be useful if, for example, some blobs take up a lot of
precious space on fast storage while they are rarely accessed. It could
make sense to move them into a separate cheaper, though slower, storage.
It's possible to find which new packfile contains the filtered out
objects using one of the following:
- `git verify-pack -v ...`,
- `test-tool find-pack ...`, which a previous commit added,
- `--filter-to=<dir>`, which a following commit will add to specify
where the pack containing the filtered out objects will be.
This feature is implemented by running `git pack-objects` twice in a
row. The first command is run with `--filter=<filter-spec>`, using the
specified filter. It packs objects while omitting the objects specified
by the filter. Then another `git pack-objects` command is launched using
`--stdin-packs`. We pass it all the previously existing packs into its
stdin, so that it will pack all the objects in the previously existing
packs. But we also pass into its stdin, the pack created by the previous
`git pack-objects --filter=<filter-spec>` command as well as the kept
packs, all prefixed with '^', so that the objects in these packs will be
omitted from the resulting pack. The result is that only the objects
filtered out by the first `git pack-objects` command are in the pack
resulting from the second `git pack-objects` command.
As the interactions with kept packs are a bit tricky, a few related
tests are added.

The load_commit_graph_chain_fd_st() function will stop loading chains
when it sees an error. But if it has loaded any graph slice at all, it
will return it. This is a good thing for normal use (we use what data we
can, and this is just an optimization). But it's a bad thing for
"commit-graph verify", which should be careful about finding any
irregularities. We do complain to stderr with a warning(), but the
verify command still exits with a successful return code.
The new tests here cover corruption of both the base and tip slices of
the chain. The corruption of the base file already works (it is the
first file we look at, so when we see the error we return NULL). The
"tip" case is what is fixed by this patch (it complains to stderr but
still returns the base slice).
Likewise the existing tests for corruption of the commit-graph-chain
file itself need to be updated. We already exited non-zero correctly for
the "base" case, but the "tip" case can now do so, too.
Note that this also causes us to adjust a test later in the file that
similarly corrupts a tip (though confusingly the test script calls this
"base"). It checks stderr but erroneously expects the whole "verify"
command to exit with a successful code.

When we open a commit-graph-chain file, if it's smaller than a single
entry, we just quietly treat that as ENOENT. That make some sense if the
file is truly zero bytes, but it means that "commit-graph verify" will
quietly ignore a file that contains garbage if that garbage happens to
be short.
Instead, let's only simulate ENOENT when the file is truly empty, and
otherwise return EINVAL. The normal graph-loading routines don't care,
but "commit-graph verify" will notice and complain about the difference.
It's not entirely clear to me that the 0-is-ENOENT case actually happens
in real life, so we could perhaps just eliminate this special-case
altogether. But this is how we've always behaved, so I'm preserving it
in the name of backwards compatibility (though again, it really only
matters for "verify", as the regular routines are happy to load what

Because it's OK to not have a graph file at all, the graph_verify()
function needs to tell the difference between a missing file and a real
error. So when loading a traditional graph file, we call
open_commit_graph() separately from load_commit_graph_chain_fd_st(), and
don't complain if the first one fails with ENOENT.
When the function learned about chain files in 3da4b609bb (commit-graph:
verify chains with --shallow mode, 2019-06-18), we couldn't be as
careful, since the only way to load a chain was with
read_commit_graph_one(), which did both the open/load as a single unit.
So we'll miss errors in chain files we load, thinking instead that there
was just no chain file at all.
Note that we do still report some of these problems to stderr, as the
loading function calls error() and warning(). But we'd exit with a
successful exit code, which is wrong.
We can fix that by using the recently split open/load functions for
chains. That lets us treat the chain file just like a single file with
respect to error handling here.
An existing test (from 3da4b609bb) shows off the problem; we were
expecting "commit-graph verify" to report success, but that makes no
sense. We did not even verify the contents of the graph data, because we
couldn't load it! I don't think this was an intentional exception, but
rather just the test covering what happened to occur.

In t5324.20, we corrupt a hex character 60 bytes into the graph chain
file. Since the file consists of two hash identifiers, one per line, the
corruption differs between sha1 and sha256. In a sha1 repository, the
corruption is on the second line, and in a sha256 repository, it is on
the first.
We should of course detect the problem with either line. But as the next
few patches will show (and fix), that is not the case (in fact, we
currently do not exit non-zero for either line!). And while at the end
of our series we'll catch all errors, our intermediate states will have
differing behavior between the two hashes.
Let's make sure we test corruption of both the first and second lines,
and do so consistently with either hash by choosing offsets which are
always in the first hash (30 bytes) or in the second (70).

In read_commit_graph_one(), we call validate_mixed_generation_chain()
after loading the graph. Even though we don't check the return value,
this has the side effect of clearing the read_generation_data flag,
which is important when working with mixed generation numbers.
But doing this in load_commit_graph_chain_fd_st() makes more sense:
1. We are calling it even when we did not load a chain at all, which
is pointless (you cannot have mixed generations in a single file).
2. For now, all callers load the graph via read_commit_graph_one().
But the point of factoring out the open/load in the previous commit
was to let "commit-graph verify" call them separately. So it needs
to trigger this function as part of the load.
Without this patch, the mixed-generation tests in t5324 would start
failing on "git commit-graph verify" calls, once we switch to using
a separate open/load call there.

The load_commit_graph_chain() function opens the chain file and all of
the slices of graph that it points to. If there is no chain file (which
is a totally normal condition), we return NULL. But if we run into
errors with the chain file or loading the actual graph data, we also
return NULL, and the caller cannot tell the difference.
The caller can check for ENOENT for the unremarkable "no such file"
case. But I'm hesitant to assume that the rest of the function would
never accidentally set errno to ENOENT itself, since it is opening the
slice files (and that would mean the caller fails to notice a real
error).
So let's break this into two functions: one to open the file, and one to
actually load it. This matches the interface we provide for the
non-chain graph file, which will also come in handy in a moment when we
fix some bugs in the "git commit-graph verify" code.
Some notes:
- I've kept the "1 is good, 0 is bad" return convention (and the weird
"fd" out-parameter) used by the matching open_commit_graph()
function and other parts of the commit-graph code. This is unlike
most of the rest of Git (which would just return the fd, with -1 for
error), but it makes sense to stay consistent with the adjacent bits
of the API here.
- The existing chain loading function will quietly return if the file
is too small to hold a single entry. I've retained that behavior
(and explicitly set ENOENT in the opener function) for now, under
the notion that it's probably valid (though I'd imagine unusual) to
have an empty chain file.
There are two small behavior changes here, but I think both are strictly
positive:
1. The original blindly did a stat() before checking if fopen()
succeeded, meaning we were making a pointless extra stat call.
2. We now use fstat() to check the file size. The previous code using
a regular stat() on the pathname meant we could technically race
with somebody updating the chain file, and end up with a size that
does not match what we just opened with fopen(). I doubt anybody
ever hit this in practice, but it may have caused an out-of-bounds
read.
We'll retain the load_commit_graph_chain() function which does both the
open and reading steps (most existing callers do not care about seeing
errors anyway, since loading commit-graphs is optimistic).

As the code is written today index_bulk_checkin only accepts blobs.
Remove the enum object_type parameter and rename index_bulk_checkin to
index_blob_bulk_checkin, index_stream to index_blob_stream,
deflate_to_pack to deflate_blob_to_pack, stream_to_pack to
stream_blob_to_pack, to make this explicit.
Not supporting commits, tags, or trees has no downside as it is not
currently supported now, and commits, tags, and trees being smaller by
design do not have the problem that the problem that index_bulk_checkin
was built to solve.
Before we start adding code to support the hash function transition
supporting additional objects types in index_bulk_checkin has no real
additional cost, just an extra function parameter to know what the
object type is. Once we begin the hash function transition this is not
the case.
The hash function transition document specifies that a repository with
compatObjectFormat enabled will compute and store both the SHA-1 and
SHA-256 hash of every object in the repository.
What makes this a challenge is that it is not just an additional hash
over the same object. Instead the hash function transition document
specifies that the compatibility hash (specified with
compatObjectFormat) be computed over the equivalent object that another
git repository whose storage hash (specified with objectFormat) would
store. When comparing equivalent repositories built with different
storage hash functions, the oids embedded in objects used to refer to
other objects differ and the location of signatures within objects
differ.
As blob objects have neither oids referring to other objects nor stored
signatures their storage hash and their compatibility hash are computed
over the same object.
The other kinds of objects: trees, commits, and tags, all store oids
referring to other objects. Signatures are stored in commit and tag
objects. As oids and the tags to store signatures are not the same size
in repositories built with different storage hashes the size of the
equivalent objects are also different.
A version of index_bulk_checkin that supports more than just blobs when
computing both the SHA-1 and the SHA-256 of every object added would
need a different, and more expensive structure. The structure is more
expensive because it would be required to temporarily buffering the
equivalent object the compatibility hash needs to be computed over.
A temporary object is needed, because before a hash over an object can
computed it's object header needs to be computed. One of the members of
the object header is the entire size of the object. To know the size of
an equivalent object an entire pass over the original object needs to be
made, as trees, commits, and tags are composed of a variable number of
variable sized pieces. Unfortunately there is no formula to compute the
size of an equivalent object from just the size of the original object.
Avoid all of those future complications by limiting index_bulk_checkin
to only work on blobs.

Add mailmap support to ref-filter formats which are similar in
pretty. This support is such that the following pretty placeholders are
equivalent to the new ref-filter atoms:
%aN = authorname:mailmap
%cN = committername:mailmap
%aE = authoremail:mailmap
%aL = authoremail:mailmap,localpart
%cE = committeremail:mailmap
%cL = committeremail:mailmap,localpart
Additionally, mailmap can also be used with ":trim" option for email by
doing something like "authoremail:mailmap,trim".
The above also applies for the "tagger" atom, that is,
"taggername:mailmap", "taggeremail:mailmap", "taggeremail:mailmap,trim"
and "taggername:mailmap,localpart".
The functionality of ":trim" and ":localpart" remains the same. That is,
":trim" gives the email, but without the angle brackets and ":localpart"
gives the part of the email before the '@' character (if such a
character is not found then we directly grab everything between the
angle brackets).

Coverity is a static analysis tool that detects and generates reports on
various security and code quality issues.
It is particularly useful when diagnosing memory safety issues which may
be used as part of exploiting a security vulnerability.
Coverity's website provides a service that accepts "builds" (which
contains the object files generated during a standard build as well as a
database generated by Coverity's scan tool).
Let's add a GitHub workflow to automate all of this. To avoid running it
without appropriate Coverity configuration (e.g. the token required to
use Coverity's services), the job only runs when the repository variable
"ENABLE_COVERITY_SCAN_FOR_BRANCHES" has been configured accordingly (see
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/variables for
details how to configure repository variables): It is expected to be a
valid JSON array of branch strings, e.g. `["main", "next"]`.
In addition, this workflow requires two repository secrets:
- COVERITY_SCAN_EMAIL: the email to send the report to, and
- COVERITY_SCAN_TOKEN: the Coverity token (look in the Project Settings
tab of your Coverity project).
Note: The initial version of this patch used
`vapier/coverity-scan-action` to benefit from that Action's caching of
the Coverity tool, which is rather large. Sadly, that Action only
supports Linux, and we want to have the option of building on Windows,
too. Besides, in the meantime Coverity requires `cov-configure` to be
runantime, and that Action was not adjusted accordingly, i.e. it seems
not to be maintained actively. Therefore it would seem prudent to
implement the steps manually instead of using that Action.

When reading revisions from stdin via git-rev-list(1)'s `--stdin` option
then these revisions never honor flags like `--not` which have been
passed on the command line. Thus, an invocation like e.g. `git rev-list
--all --not --stdin` will not treat all revisions read from stdin as
uninteresting. While this behaviour may be surprising to a user, it's
been this way ever since it has been introduced via 42cabc341c (Teach
rev-list an option to read revs from the standard input., 2006-09-05).
With that said, in c40f0b7877 (revision: handle pseudo-opts in `--stdin`
mode, 2023-06-15) we have introduced a new mode to read pseudo opts from
standard input where this behaviour is a lot more confusing. If you pass
`--not` via stdin, it will:
- Influence subsequent revisions or pseudo-options passed on the
command line.
- Influence pseudo-options passed via standard input.
- _Not_ influence normal revisions passed via standard input.
This behaviour is extremely inconsistent and bound to cause confusion.
While it would be nice to retroactively change the behaviour for how
`--not` and `--stdin` behave together, chances are quite high that this
would break existing scripts that expect the current behaviour that has
been around for many years by now. This is thus not really a viable
option to explore to fix the inconsistency.
Instead, we change the behaviour of how pseudo-opts read via standard
input influence the flags such that the effect is fully localized. With
this change, when reading `--not` via standard input, it will:
- _Not_ influence subsequent revisions or pseudo-options passed on
the command line, which is a change in behaviour.
- Influence pseudo-options passed via standard input.
- Influence normal revisions passed via standard input, which is a
change in behaviour.
Thus, all flags read via standard input are fully self-contained to that
standard input, only.
While this is a breaking change as well, the behaviour has only been
recently introduced with Git v2.42.0. Furthermore, the current behaviour
can be regarded as a simple bug. With that in mind it feels like the
right thing to retroactively change it and make the behaviour sane.

For a long time we have used ASAN_OPTIONS to set abort_on_error. This is
important because we want to notice detected problems even in programs
which are expected to fail. But we never did the same for UBSAN_OPTIONS.
This means that our UBSan test suite runs might silently miss some
cases.
It also causes a more visible effect, which is that t4058 complains
about unexpected "fixes" (and this is how I noticed the issue):
$ make SANITIZE=undefined CC=gcc && (cd t && ./t4058-*)
...
ok 8 - git read-tree does not segfault # TODO known breakage vanished
ok 9 - reset --hard does not segfault # TODO known breakage vanished
ok 10 - git diff HEAD does not segfault # TODO known breakage vanished
The tests themselves aren't that interesting. We have a known bug where
these programs segfault, and they do when compiled without sanitizers.
With UBSan, when the test runs:
test_might_fail git read-tree --reset base
it gets:
cache-tree.c:935:9: runtime error: member access within misaligned address 0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a for type 'struct cache_entry', which requires 8 byte alignment
So that's garbage memory which would _usually_ cause us to segfault, but
UBSan catches it and complains first about the alignment. That makes
sense, but the weird thing is that UBSan then exits instead of aborting,
so our test_might_fail call considers that an acceptable outcome and the
test "passes".
Curiously, this historically seems to have aborted, because I've run
"make test" with UBSan many times (and so did our CI) and we never saw
the problem. Even more curiously, I see an abort if I use clang with
ASan and UBSan together, like:
# this aborts!
make SANITIZE=undefined,address CC=clang
But not with just UBSan, and not with both when used with gcc:
# none of these do
make SANITIZE=undefined CC=gcc
make SANITIZE=undefined CC=clang
make SANITIZE=undefined,address CC=gcc
Likewise moving to older versions of gcc (I tried gcc-11 and gcc-12 on
my Debian system) doesn't abort. Nor does moving around in Git's
history. Neither this test nor the relevant code have been touched in a
while, and going back to v2.41.0 produces the same outcome (even though
many UBSan CI runs have passed in the meantime).
So _something_ changed on my system (and likely will soon on other
people's, since this is stock Debian unstable), but I didn't track
it further. I don't know why it ever aborted in the past, but we
definitely should be explicit here and tell UBSan what we want to
happen.

Currently, `range-diff` shows the default notes if no notes-related
arguments are given. This is also how `log` behaves. But unlike
`range-diff`, `log` does *not* show the default notes if
`--notes=<custom>` are given. In other words, this:
git log --notes=custom
is equivalent to this:
git log --no-notes --notes=custom
While:
git range-diff --notes=custom
acts like this:
git log --notes --notes-custom
This can’t be how the user expects `range-diff` to behave given that the
man page for `range-diff` under `--[no-]notes[=<ref>]` says:
> This flag is passed to the `git log` program (see git-log(1)) that
> generates the patches.
This behavior also affects `format-patch` since it uses `range-diff` for
the cover letter. Unlike `log`, though, `format-patch` is not supposed
to show the default notes if no notes-related arguments are given.[1]
But this promise is broken when the range-diff happens to have something
to say about the changes to the default notes, since that will be shown
in the cover letter.
Remedy this by introducing `--show-notes-by-default` that `range-diff` can
use to tell the `log` subprocess what to do.

The start_bg_command() function takes a callback to tell when the
background-ed process is "ready". The callback receives the
child_process struct as well as an extra void pointer. But curiously,
neither of the two users of this interface look at either parameter!
This makes some sense. The only non-test user of the API is fsmonitor,
which uses fsmonitor_ipc__get_state() to connect to a single global
fsmonitor daemon (i.e., the one we just started!).
So we could just drop these parameters entirely. But it seems like a
pretty reasonable interface for the "wait" callback to have access to
the details of the spawned process, and to have room for passing extra
data through a void pointer. So let's leave these in place but mark the

There's a bit of conditionally-compiled code in fsmonitor, so some
function parameters may be unused depending on the build options:
- in fsmonitor--daemon.c's try_to_run_foreground_daemon(), we take a
detach_console argument, but it's only used on Windows. This seems
intentional (and not mistakenly missing other platforms) based on
the discussion in c284e27ba7 (fsmonitor--daemon: implement 'start'
command, 2022-03-25), which introduced it.
- in fsmonitor-setting.c's check_for_incompatible(), we pass the "ipc"
flag down to the system-specific fsm_os__incompatible() helper. But
we can only do so if our platform has such a helper.
In both cases we can mark the argument as MAYBE_UNUSED. That annotates
it enough to suppress the compiler's -Wunused-parameter warning, but
without making it impossible to use the variable, as a regular UNUSED
annotation would.

git-gui currently runs some hooks directly using its own code written
before 2010, long predating git v2.9 that added the core.hooksPath
configuration to override the assumed location at $GIT_DIR/hooks. Thus,
git-gui looks for and runs hooks including prepare-commit-msg,
commit-msg, pre-commit, post-commit, and post-checkout from
$GIT_DIR/hooks, regardless of configuration. Commands (e.g., git-merge)
that git-gui invokes directly do honor core.hooksPath, meaning the
overall behaviour is inconsistent.
Furthermore, since v2.36 git exposes its hook execution machinery via
`git-hook run`, eliminating the need for others to maintain code
duplicating that functionality. Using git-hook will both fix git-gui's
current issues on hook configuration and (presumably) reduce the
maintenance burden going forward. So, teach git-gui to use git-hook.

Earlier, commit aae9560a introduced search in $PATH to find executables
before running them, avoiding an issue where on Windows a same named
file in the current directory can be executed in preference to anything
in a directory in $PATH. This search is intended to find an absolute
path for a bare executable ( e.g, a function "foo") by finding the first
instance of "foo" in a directory given in $PATH, and this search works
correctly. The search is explicitly avoided for an executable named
with an absolute path (e.g., /bin/sh), and that works as well.
Unfortunately, the search is also applied to commands named with a
relative path. A hook script (or executable) $HOOK is usually located
relative to the project directory as .git/hooks/$HOOK. The search for
this will generally fail as that relative path will (probably) not exist
on any directory in $PATH. This means that git hooks in general now fail
to run. Considerable mayhem could occur should a directory on $PATH be
git controlled. If such a directory includes .git/hooks/$HOOK, that
repository's $HOOK will be substituted for the one in the current
project, with unknown consequences.
This lookup failure also occurs in worktrees linked to a remote .git
directory using git-new-workdir. However, a worktree using a .git file
pointing to a separate git directory apparently avoids this: in that
case the hook command is resolved to an absolute path before being
passed down to the code introduced in aae9560a.
Fix this by replacing the test for an "absolute" pathname to a check for
a command name having more than one pathname component. This limits the
search and absolute pathname resolution to bare commands. The new test
uses tcl's "file split" command. Experiments on Linux and Windows, using
tclsh, show that command names with relative and absolute paths always
give at least two components, while a bare command gives only one.
Linux: puts [file split {foo}] ==> foo
Linux: puts [file split {/foo}] ==> / foo
Linux: puts [file split {.git/foo}] ==> .git foo
Windows: puts [file split {foo}] ==> foo
Windows: puts [file split {c:\foo}] ==> c:/ foo
Windows: puts [file split {.git\foo}] ==> .git foo

As noted in CodingGuidelines, error messages should not be capitalized.
Fix up a few of these that were copied verbatim from merge-recursive to
match our modern style.
We'll likewise fix up the matching ones from merge-recursive. We care a
bit less there, since the hope is that it will eventually go away. But
besides being the right thing to do in the meantime, it is necessary for
t6406 to pass both with and without GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM set (one of
our CI jobs sets it to "recursive", which will use the merge-recursive.c
code). An alternative would be to use "grep -i" in the test to check
the message, but it's nice for the test suite to be be more exact (we'd
notice if the capitalization fix regressed).

To redact header lines in http/2 curl traces, we have to parse past some
prefix bytes that curl sticks in the info lines it passes to us. That
changed once already, and we adapted in db30130165 (http: handle both
"h2" and "h2h3" in curl info lines, 2023-06-17).
Now it has changed again, in curl's fbacb14c4 (http2: cleanup trace
messages, 2023-08-04), which was released in curl 8.3.0. Running a build
of git linked against that version will fail to redact the trace (and as
before, t5559 notices and complains).
The format here is a little more complicated than the other ones, as it
now includes a "stream id". This is not constant but is always numeric,
so we can easily parse past it.
We'll continue to match the old versions, of course, since we want to
work with many different versions of curl. We can't even select one
format at compile time, because the behavior depends on the runtime
version of curl we use, not the version we build against.

We have to parse out curl's http/2 trace lines so we can redact their
headers. We already match two different types of lines from various
vintages of curl. In preparation for adding another (which will be
slightly more complex), let's pull the matching into its own function,
rather than doing it in the middle of a conditional.
While we're doing so, let's expand the comment a bit to describe the two
matches. That probably should have been part of db30130165 (http: handle
both "h2" and "h2h3" in curl info lines, 2023-06-17), but will become

The merge-ort code has an err() function, but it's really just error()
in disguise. It differs in two ways:
1. It takes a "struct merge_options" argument. But the function
completely ignores it! We can simply remove it.
2. It formats the error string into a strbuf, prepending "error: ",
and then feeds the result into error(). But this is wrong! The
error() function already adds the prefix, so we end up with:
error: error: Failed to execute internal merge
So let's just drop this function entirely and call error() directly, as
the functions are otherwise identical (note that they both always return
-1).
Presumably nobody noticed the bogus messages because they are quite hard
to trigger (they are mostly internal errors reading and writing
objects). However, one easy trigger is a custom merge driver which dies
by signal; we have a test already here, but we were not checking the
contents of stderr.

When generating the list of packs to store in a MIDX (when given the

--geometric and non-geometric repacks.
But the rules for when we do and don't have to check whether any of
those cruft packs were queued for deletion differ slightly between the
two cases.
But the two can be unified, provided there is a little bit of extra
detail added in the comment to clarify when it is safe to avoid checking
for any pending deletions (and why it is OK to do so even when not

The `->util` field corresponding to each string_list_item is used to
track the existence of some pack at the beginning of a repack operation
was originally intended to be used as a bitfield.
This bitfield tracked:
- (1 << 0): whether or not the pack should be deleted
- (1 << 1): whether or not the pack is cruft
The previous commit removed the use of the second bit, but a future
patch (from a different series than this one) will introduce a new use
of it.
So we could stop treating the util pointer as a bitfield and instead
start treating it as if it were a boolean. But this would require some
backtracking when that later patch is applied.
Instead, let's avoid touching the ->util field directly, and instead
introduce convenience functions like:
- pack_mark_for_deletion()
- pack_is_marked_for_deletion()

When repacking with the `--write-midx` option, we invoke the function
`midx_included_packs()` in order to produce the list of packs we want to
include in the resulting MIDX.
This list is comprised of:
- existing .keep packs
- any pack(s) which were written earlier in the same process
- any unchanged packs when doing a `--geometric` repack
- any cruft packs
Prior to this patch, we stored pre-existing cruft and non-cruft packs
together (provided those packs are non-kept). This meant we needed an
additional bit to indicate which non-kept pack(s) were cruft versus
those that aren't.
But alternatively we can store cruft packs in a separate list, avoiding
the need for this extra bit, and simplifying the code below.

When there is:
- at least one pre-existing packfile (which is not marked as kept),
- repacking with the `-d` flag, and
- not doing a cruft repack
, then we pass a handful of additional options to the inner
`pack-objects` process, like `--unpack-unreachable`,
`--keep-unreachable`, and `--pack-loose-unreachable`, in addition to
marking any packs we just wrote for promisor remotes as kept in-core
(with `--keep-pack`, as opposed to the presence of a ".keep" file on
disk).
Because we store both cruft and non-cruft packs together in the same
`existing.non_kept_packs` list, it suffices to check its `nr` member to
see if it is zero or not.
But a following change will store cruft- and non-cruft packs separately,
meaning this check would break as a result. Prepare for this by
extracting this part of the check into a new helper function called
`has_existing_non_kept_packs()`.
This patch does not introduce any functional changes, but prepares us to
make a more isolated change in a subsequent patch.

To remove redundant packs at the end of a repacking operation, Git uses
its `remove_redundant_pack()` function in a loop over the set of
pre-existing, non-kept packs.
In a later commit, we will split this list into two, one for
pre-existing cruft pack(s), and another for non-cruft pack(s). Prepare
for this by factoring out the routine to loop over and delete redundant
packs into its own function.
Instead of calling `remove_redundant_pack()` directly, we now will call
`remove_redundant_existing_packs()`, which itself dispatches a call to
`remove_redundant_packs_1()`. Note that the geometric repacking code
will still call `remove_redundant_pack()` directly, but see the previous
commit for more details.
Having `remove_redundant_packs_1()` exist as a separate function may
seem like overkill in this patch. However, a later patch will call
`remove_redundant_packs_1()` once over two separate lists, so this
refactoring sets us up for that.

At the end of a repack (when given `-d`), Git attempts to remove any
packs which have been made "redundant" as a result of the repacking
operation. For example, an all-into-one (`-A` or `-a`) repack makes
every pre-existing pack which is not marked as kept redundant. Geometric
repacks (with `--geometric=<n>`) make any packs which were rolled up
redundant, and so on.
But before deleting the set of packs we think are redundant, we first
check to see whether or not we just wrote a pack which is identical to
any one of the packs we were going to delete. When this is the case, Git
must avoid deleting that pack, since it matches a pack we just wrote
(so deleting it may cause the repository to become corrupt).
Right now we only process the list of non-kept packs in a single pass.
But a future change will split the existing non-kept packs further into
two lists: one for cruft packs, and another for non-cruft packs.
Factor out this routine to prepare for calling it twice on two separate
lists in a future patch.

The repack machinery needs to keep track of which packfiles were present
in the repository at the beginning of a repack, segmented by whether or
not each pack is marked as kept.
The names of these packs are stored in two `string_list`s, corresponding
to kept- and non-kept packs, respectively. As a consequence, many
functions within the repack code need to take both `string_list`s as
arguments, leading to code like this:
ret = write_cruft_pack(&cruft_po_args, packtmp, pack_prefix,
cruft_expiration, &names,
&existing_nonkept_packs, /* <- */
&existing_kept_packs); /* <- */
Wrap up this pair of `string_list`s into a single structure that stores
both. This saves us from having to pass both string lists separately,
and prepares for adding additional fields to this structure.

The purpose of the test is to ensure that

commit without running the editor and then reword by amending
that commit. This ensures that we have the same user experience
whether or not the commit was fast-forwarded [1].
(ii) That the todo list is re-read after the commit has been reworded.
This is to allow the user to update the todo list while the rebase
is paused for editing the commit message.

This requires interoperability between the Windows Subsystem for Linux

intended for communcations between virtual machines and the host they
are running on.
However, when Git is configured to run background maintenance via
`systemd`, the address families available to those maintenance processes
are restricted, and did not include `AF_VSOCK`. This leads to problems

The wording "all configuration variables" is misleading (the same could
be said to the descriptions of the "--[no-]if-exists" and the
"--[no-]if-missing" options). Specifying --where=value overrides only
the trailer.where variable and applicable trailer.<token>.where
variables, and --no-where stops the overriding of these variables.
Ditto for the other two with their relevant configuration variables.

By using "test_config" instead of "git config", we avoid leaking
configuration state across test cases. This in turn helps to make the
tests more self-contained, by explicitly capturing the configuration
setup. It then makes it easier to add tests anywhere in this 1500+ line
file, without worrying about what implicit state was set in some prior
test case defined earlier up in the script.
This commit was created mechanically as follows: we changed the first
occurrence of a particular "git config trailer.*" option, then ran the
tests repeatedly to see which ones broke, adding in the extra
"test_config" equivalents to make them pass again. In addition, in some
test cases we removed "git config --unset ..." lines because they were
no longer necessary (as the --unset was being used to clean up leaked
configuration state from earlier test cases).
The process described above was done repeatedly until there were no more
unbridled "git config" invocations. Some "git config" invocations still
do exist in the script, but they were already cleaned up properly with
test_when_finished "git config --remove-section ..."
so they were left alone.
Note that these cleanups result in generally longer test case setups
because the previously hidden state is now being exposed. Although we
could then clean up the test cases' "expected" values to be less
verbose (the verbosity arising from the use of implicit state), we
choose not to do so here, to make sure that this cleanup does not change
any meanings behind the test cases.

When rebasing commands are moved from the todo list in "git-rebase-todo"
to the "done" file (which is used by "git status" to show the recently
executed commands) just before they are executed. This means that if a
command fails because it would overwrite an untracked file it has to be
added back into the todo list before the rebase stops for the user to
fix the problem.
Unfortunately when a failed command is added back into the todo list the
command preceding it is erroneously appended to the "done" file. This
means that when rebase stops after "pick B" fails the "done" file
contains
pick A
pick B
pick A
instead of
pick A
pick B
This happens because save_todo() updates the "done" file with the
previous command whenever "git-rebase-todo" is updated. When we add the
failed pick back into "git-rebase-todo" we do not want to update
"done". Fix this by adding a "reschedule" parameter to save_todo() which
prevents the "done" file from being updated when adding a failed command
back into the "git-rebase-todo" file. A couple of the existing tests are
modified to improve their coverage as none of them trigger this bug or
check the "done" file.

If a commit cannot be picked because it would overwrite an untracked
file then "git rebase --continue" should refuse to commit any staged
changes as the commit was not picked. This is implemented by refusing to
commit if the message file is missing. The message file is chosen for
this check because it is only written when "git rebase" stops for the
user to resolve merge conflicts.
Existing commands that refuse to commit staged changes when continuing
such as a failed "exec" rely on checking for the absence of the author
script in run_git_commit(). This prevents the staged changes from being
committed but prints
error: could not open '.git/rebase-merge/author-script' for
reading
before the message about not being able to commit. This is confusing to
users and so checking for the message file instead improves the user
experience. The existing test for refusing to commit after a failed exec
is updated to check that we do not print the error message about a
missing author script anymore.

git rebase keeps a list that maps the OID of each commit before it was
rebased to the OID of the equivalent commit after the rebase. This list
is used to drive the "post-rewrite" hook that is called at the end of a
successful rebase. When a rebase stops for the user to resolve merge
conflicts the OID of the commit being picked is written to
".git/rebase-merge/stopped-sha". Then when the rebase is continued that
OID is added to the list of rewritten commits. Unfortunately if a commit
cannot be picked because it would overwrite an untracked file we still
write the "stopped-sha1" file. This means that when the rebase is
continued the commit is added into the list of rewritten commits even
though it has not been picked yet.
Fix this by not calling error_with_patch() for failed commands. The pick
has failed so there is nothing to commit and therefore we do not want to
set up the state files for committing staged changes when the rebase
continues. This change means we no-longer write a patch for the failed
command or display the error message printed by error_with_patch(). As
the command has failed the patch isn't really useful and in any case the
user can inspect the commit associated with the failed command by
inspecting REBASE_HEAD. Unless the user has disabled it we already print
an advice message that is more helpful than the message from
error_with_patch() which the user will still see. Even if the advice is
disabled the user will see the messages from the merge machinery
detailing the problem.
The code to add a failed command back into the todo list is duplicated
between pick_one_commit() and the loop in pick_commits(). Both sites
print advice about the command being rescheduled, decrement the current
item and save the todo list. To avoid duplicating this code
pick_one_commit() is modified to set a flag to indicate that the command
should be rescheduled in the main loop. This simplifies things as only
the remaining copy of the code needs to be modified to set REBASE_HEAD
rather than calling error_with_patch().

This simplifies the next commit. If a pick fails we now return the error
at the end of the loop body rather than returning early, a successful
"edit" command continues to return early. There are three things to
check to ensure that removing the early return for an error does not
change the behavior of the code:
(1) We could enter the block guarded by "if (reschedule)". This block
is not entered because "reschedlue" is always zero when picking a
commit.
(2) We could enter the block guarded by
"else if (is_rebase_i(opts) && check_todo && !res)". This block is
not entered when returning an error because "res" is non-zero in
that case.
(3) todo_list->current could be incremented before returning. That is
avoided by moving the increment which is of course a potential
change in behavior itself. The move is safe because none of the
callers look at todo_list after this function returns. Moving the
increment makes it clear we only want to advance the current item
if the command was successful.

When a rebase stops for the user to resolve conflicts it writes a patch
for the conflicting commit to .git/rebase-merge/patch. This file has
been written since the introduction of "git-rebase-interactive.sh" in
1b1dce4bae (Teach rebase an interactive mode, 2007-06-25). I assume the
idea was to enable the user inspect the conflicting commit in the same
way as they could for the patch based rebase. This file should be
deleted when the rebase continues as if the rebase stops for a failed
"exec" command or a "break" command it is confusing to the user if there
is a stale patch lying around from an unrelated command. As the path is
now used in two different places rebase_path_patch() is added and used
to obtain the path for the patch.
To construct the path write_patch() previously used get_dir() which
returns different paths depending on whether we're rebasing or
cherry-picking/reverting. As this function is only called when
rebasing it is safe to use a hard coded string for the directory
instead. An assertion is added to make sure we don't starting calling
this function when cherry-picking in the future.

Atoms like "raw" and "contents" have a ":size" option which can be used
to know the size of the data. Since these atoms have the cmp_type
FIELD_STR, they are sorted alphabetically from 'a' to 'z' and '0' to
'9'. Meaning, even when the ":size" option is used and what we
ultimatlely have is numbers, we still sort alphabetically.
For example, consider the the following case in a repo
refname contents:size raw:size
======= ============= ========
refs/heads/branch1 1130 1210
refs/heads/master 300 410
refs/tags/v1.0 140 260
Sorting with "--format="%(refname) %(contents:size) --sort=contents:size"
would give
refs/heads/branch1 1130
refs/tags/v1.0.0 140
refs/heads/master 300
which is an alphabetic sort, while what one might really expect is
refs/tags/v1.0.0 140
refs/heads/master 300
refs/heads/branch1 1130
which is a numeric sort (that is, a "$ sort -n file" as opposed to a
"$ sort file", where "file" contains only the "contents:size" or
"raw:size" info, each of which is on a newline).
Same is the case with "--sort=raw:size".
So, sort numerically whenever the sort is done with "contents:size" or
"raw:size" and do it the normal alphabetic way when "contents" or "raw"
are used with some other option (they are FIELD_STR anyways).

There are a few parse-option callbacks that do not look at their "unset"
parameters, but also do not set PARSE_OPT_NONEG. At first glance this
seems like a bug, as we'd ignore "--no-if-exists", etc.
But they do work fine, because when "unset" is true, then "arg" is NULL.
And all three functions pass "arg" on to helper functions which do the
right thing with the NULL.
Note that this shortcut would not be correct if any callback used
PARSE_OPT_NOARG (in which case "arg" would be NULL but "unset" would be
false). But none of these do.
So the code is fine as-is. But we'll want to mark the unused "unset"
parameters to quiet -Wunused-parameter. I've also added a comment to

The option_parse_strategy() callback does not look at opt->value;
instead it calls append_strategy(), which manipulates the global
use_strategies array directly. But the OPT_CALLBACK declaration assigns
"&use_strategies" to opt->value.
One could argue this is good, as it tells the reader what we generally
expect the callback to do. But it is also bad, because it can mislead
you into thinking that swapping out "&use_strategies" there might have
any effect. Let's switch it to pass NULL (which is what every other

The previous commit argued that parse-options callbacks should try to
use opt->value rather than touching globals directly. In some cases,
however, that's awkward to do. Some callbacks touch multiple variables,
or may even just call into an abstracted function that does so.
In some of these cases we _could_ convert them by stuffing the multiple
variables into a single struct and passing the struct pointer through
opt->value. But that may make other parts of the code less readable,
as the struct relationship has to be mentioned everywhere.
Let's just accept that these cases are special and leave them as-is. But
we do need to mark their "opt" parameters to satisfy -Wunused-parameter.

We have several parse-options callbacks that ignore their "opt"
parameters entirely. This is a little unusual, as we'd normally put the
result of the parsing into opt->value. In the case of these callbacks,
though, they directly manipulate global variables instead (and in
most cases the caller sets opt->value to NULL in the OPT_CALLBACK
declaration).
The immediate symptom we'd like to deal with is that the unused "opt"
variables trigger -Wunused-parameter. But how to fix that is debatable.
One option is to annotate them with UNUSED. But another is to have the
caller pass in the appropriate variable via opt->value, and use it. That
has the benefit of making the callbacks reusable (in theory at least),
and makes it clear from the OPT_CALLBACK declaration which variables
will be affected (doubly so for the cases in builtin/fast-export.c,
where we do set opt->value, but it is completely ignored!).
The slight downside is that we lose type safety, since they're now
passing through void pointers.
I went with the "just use them" approach here. The loss of type safety
is unfortunate, but that is already an issue with most of the other
callbacks. If we want to try to address that, we should do so more
consistently (and this patch would prepare these callbacks for whatever
we choose to do there).
Note that in the cases in builtin/fast-export.c, we are passing
anonymous enums. We'll have to give them names so that we can declare
the appropriate pointer type within the callbacks.

Using --stage=all requires writing to tempfiles, since we cannot put
multiple stages into a single file. So --stage=all implies --temp.
But we do so by setting to_tempfile in the options callback for --stage,
rather than after all options have been parsed. This leads to two bugs:
1. If you run "checkout-index --stage=all --stage=2", this should not
imply --temp, but it currently does. The callback cannot just unset
to_tempfile when it sees the "2" value, because it no longer knows
if its value was from the earlier --stage call, or if the user
specified --temp explicitly.
2. If you run "checkout-index --stage=all --no-temp", the --no-temp
will overwrite the earlier implied --temp. But this mode of
operation cannot work, and the command will fail with "<path>
already exists" when trying to write the higher stages.
We can fix both by lazily setting to_tempfile. We'll make it a tristate,
with -1 as "not yet given", and have --stage=all enable it only after
all options are parsed. Likewise, after all options are parsed we can
detect and reject the bogus "--no-temp" case.
Note that this does technically change the behavior for "--stage=all
--no-temp" for paths which have only one stage present (which
accidentally worked before, but is now forbidden). But this behavior was
never intended, and you'd have to go out of your way to try to trigger
it.
The new tests cover both cases, as well the general "--stage=all implies
--temp", as most of the other tests explicitly say "--temp". Ironically,
the test "checkout --temp within subdir" is the only one that _doesn't_
use "--temp", and so was implicitly covering this case. But it seems
reasonable to have a more explicit test alongside the other related
ones.

On my Linux system, all of our recursive tree walking algorithms can run
up to the 4096 default limit without segfaulting. But not all platforms
will have stack sizes as generous (nor might even Linux if we kick off a
recursive walk within a thread).
In particular, several of the tests added in the previous few commits
fail in our Windows CI environment. Through some guess-and-check
pushing, I found that 3072 is still too much, but 2048 is OK.
These are obviously vague heuristics, and there is nothing to promise
that another system might not have trouble at even lower values. But it
seems unlikely anybody will be too angry about a 2048-depth limit (this
is close to the default max-pathname limit on Linux even for a
pathological path like "a/a/a/..."). So let's just lower it.
Some alternatives are:
- configure separate defaults for Windows versus other platforms.
- just skip the tests on Windows. This leaves Windows users with the

When diffing trees, we recurse to handle subtrees. That means we may run
out of stack space and segfault. Let's teach this code path about
core.maxTreeDepth in order to fail more gracefully.
As with the previous patch, we have no way to return an error (and other
tree-loading problems would just cause us to die()). So we'll likewise
call die() if we exceed the maximum depth.

The tree traversal in list-objects.c, which is used by "rev-list
--objects", etc, uses recursion and may run out of stack space. Let's
teach it about the new core.maxTreeDepth config option.
We unfortunately can't return an error here, as this code doesn't
produce an error return at all. We'll die() instead, which matches the
behavior when we see an otherwise broken tree.
Note that this will also generally reject such deep trees from entering
the repository from a fetch or push, due to the use of rev-list in the
connectivity check. But it's not foolproof! We stop traversing when we
see an UNINTERESTING object, and the connectivity check marks existing
ref tips as UNINTERESTING. So imagine commit X has a tree
with maximum depth N. If you then create a new commit Y with a tree
entry "Y:subdir" that points to "X^{tree}", then the depth of Y will be
N+1. But a connectivity check running "git rev-list --objects Y --not X"
won't realize that; it will stop traversing at X^{tree}, since that was
already reachable.
So this will stop naive pushes of too-deep trees, but not carefully
crafted malicious ones. Doing it robustly and efficiently would require
caching the maximum depth of each tree (i.e., the longest path to any
leaf entry). That's much more complex and not strictly needed. If each
recursive algorithm limits itself already, then that's sufficient.
Blocking the objects from entering the repo would be a nice
belt-and-suspenders addition, but it's not worth the extra cost.

The read_tree() function reads trees recursively (via its read_tree_at()
helper). This can cause it to run out of stack space on very deep trees.
Let's teach it about the new core.maxTreeDepth option.
The easiest way to demonstrate this is via "ls-tree -r", which the test
covers. Note that I needed a tree depth of ~30k to trigger a segfault on
my Linux system, not the 4100 used by our "big" test in t6700. However,
that test still tells us what we want: that the default 4096 limit is
enough to prevent segfaults on all platforms. We could bump it, but that
increases the cost of the test setup for little gain.
As an interesting side-note: when I originally wrote this patch about 4
years ago, I needed a depth of ~50k to segfault. But porting it forward,
the number is much lower. Seemingly little things like cf0983213c (hash:
add an algo member to struct object_id, 2021-04-26) take it from 32,722
to 29,080.

The tree-walk.c code walks trees recursively, and may run out of stack
space. The easiest way to see this is with git-archive; on my 64-bit
Linux system it runs out of stack trying to generate a tarfile with a
tree depth of 13,772.
I've picked 4100 as the depth for our "big" test. I ran it with a much
higher value to confirm that we do get a segfault without this patch.
But really anything over 4096 is sufficient for its stated purpose,
which is to find out if our default limit of 4096 is low enough to
prevent segfaults on all platforms. Keeping it small saves us time on
the test setup.
The tree-walk code that's touched here underlies unpack_trees(), so this
protects any programs which use it, not just git-archive (but archive is
easy to test, and was what alerted me to this issue in a real-world
case).

Most of our tree traversal algorithms use recursion to visit sub-trees.
For pathologically large trees, this can cause us to run out of stack
space and abort in an uncontrolled way. Let's put our own limit here so
that we can fail gracefully rather than segfaulting.
In similar cases where we recursed along the commit graph, we rewrote
the algorithms to avoid recursion and keep any stack data on the heap.
But the commit graph is meant to grow without bound, whereas it's not an
imposition to put a limit on the maximum size of tree we'll handle.
And this has a bonus side effect: coupled with a limit on individual
tree entry names, this limits the total size of a path we may encounter.
This gives us an extra protection against code handling long path names
which may suffer from integer overflows in the size (which could then be
exploited by malicious trees).
The default of 4096 is set to be much longer than anybody would care
about in the real world. Even with single-letter interior tree names
(like "a/b/c"), such a path is at least 8191 bytes. While most operating
systems will let you create such a path incrementally, trying to
reference the whole thing in a system call (as Git would do when
actually trying to access it) will result in ENAMETOOLONG. Coupled with
the recent fsck.largePathname warning, the maximum total pathname Git
will handle is (by default) 16MB.
This config option doesn't do anything yet; future patches will convert
various algorithms to respect the limit.

In general, Git tries not to arbitrarily limit what it will store, and
there are currently no limits at all on the size of the path we find in
a tree. In theory you could have one that is gigabytes long.
But in practice this freedom is not really helping anybody, and is
potentially harmful:
1. Most operating systems have much lower limits for the size of a
single pathname component (e.g., on Linux you'll generally get
ENAMETOOLONG for anything over 255 bytes). And while you _can_ use
Git in a way that never touches the filesystem (manipulating the
index and trees directly), it's still probably not a good idea to
have gigantic tree names. Many operations load and traverse them,
so any clever Git-as-a-database scheme is likely to perform poorly
in that case.
2. We still have a lot of code which assumes strings are reasonably
sized, and I won't be at all surprised if you can trigger some
interesting integer overflows with gigantic pathnames. Stopping
malicious trees from entering the repository provides an extra line
of defense, protecting downstream code.
This patch implements an fsck check so that such trees can be rejected
by transfer.fsckObjects. I've picked a reasonably high maximum depth
here (4096) that hopefully should not bother anybody in practice. I've
also made it configurable, as an escape hatch.

The traverse_trees() and traverse_trees_recursive() functions call each
other recursively. In a deep tree, this can result in running out of
stack space and crashing.
There's obviously going to be some limit here based on available stack,
but the problem is exacerbated by a few large structs, many of which we
over-allocate. For example, in traverse_trees() we store a name_entry
and tree_desc_x per tree, both of which contain an object_id (which is
now 32 bytes). And we allocate 8 of them (from MAX_TRAVERSE_TREES), even
though many traversals will only look at 1 or 2.
Interestingly, we used to allocate these on the heap, prior to
8dd40c0472 (traverse_trees(): use stack array for name entries,
2020-01-30). That commit was trying to simplify away allocation size
computations, and naively assumed that the sizes were small enough not
to matter. And they don't in normal cases, but on my stock Debian system
I see a crash running "git archive" on a tree with ~3600 entries.
That's deep enough we wouldn't see it in practice, but probably shallow
enough that we'd prefer not to make it a hard limit. Especially because
other systems may have even smaller stacks.
We can replace these stack variables with a few malloc invocations. This
reduces the stack sizes for the two functions from 1128 and 752 bytes,
respectively, down to 40 and 92 bytes. That allows a depth of ~13000 on
my machine (the improvement isn't in linear proportion because my
numbers don't count the size of parameters and other function overhead).
The possible downsides are:
1. We now have to remember to free(). But both functions have an easy
single exit (and already had to clean up other bits anyway).
2. The extra malloc()/free() overhead might be measurable. I tested
this by setting up a 3000-depth tree with a single blob and running
"git archive" on it. After switching to the heap, it consistently
runs 2-3% faster! Presumably this is because the 1K+ of wasted
stack space penalized memory caches.
On a more real-world case like linux.git, the speed difference isn't
measurable at all, simply because most trees aren't that deep and
there's so much other work going on (like accessing the objects
themselves). So the improvement I saw should be taken as evidence that
we're not making anything worse, but isn't really that interesting on
its own. The main motivation here is that we're now less likely to run
out of stack space and crash.

The "-n" option is implemented by an option callback, as it is really a
"reverse bool". If given, it sets show_diffstat to 0. In theory, when
negated, it would set the same flag to 1. But it's not possible to
trigger that, since short options cannot be negated.
So in practice this is really just a SET_INT to 0. Let's use that
instead, which shortens the code.
Note that negation here would do the wrong thing (as with any SET_INT
with a value of "0"). We could specify PARSE_OPT_NONEG to future-proof
ourselves against somebody adding a long option name (which would make
it possible to negate). But there's not much point:
1. Nobody is going to do that, because the negated form already
exists, and is called "--stat" (which is defined separately so that
"--no-stat" works).
2. If they did, the BUG() check added by 3284b93862 (parse-options:

When we added config to skip CI for certain branches in e76eec3554 (ci:
allow per-branch config for GitHub Actions, 2020-05-07), there wasn't
any way to avoid spinning up a VM just to check the config. From the
developer's perspective this isn't too bad, as the "skipped" branches
complete successfully after running the config job (the workflow result
is "success" instead of "skipped", but that is a minor lie).
But we are still wasting time and GitHub's CPU to spin up a VM just to
check the result of a short shell script. At the time there wasn't any
way to avoid this. But they've since introduced repo-level variables
that should let us do the same thing:
https://github.blog/2023-01-10-introducing-required-workflows-and-configuration-variables-to-github-actions/#configuration-variables
This is more efficient, and as a bonus is probably less confusing to
configure (the existing system requires sticking your config on a magic
ref).
See the included docs for how to configure it.
The code itself is pretty simple: it checks the variable and skips the
config job if appropriate (and everything else depends on the config job
already). There are two slight inaccuracies here:
- we don't insist on branches, so this likewise applies to tag names
or other refs. I think in practice this is OK, and keeping the code
(and docs) short is more important than trying to be more exact. We
are targeting developers of git.git and their limited workflows.
- the match is done as a substring (so if you want to run CI for
"foobar", then branch "foo" will accidentally match). Again, this
should be OK in practice, as anybody who uses this is likely to only
specify a handful of well-known names. If we want to be more exact,
we can have the code check for adjoining spaces. Or even move to a
more general CI_CONFIG variable formatted as JSON. I went with this
scheme for the sake of simplicity.

However, it _should_ be used when calling into git_path_* functions,
but the one we use here is declared with the non-REPO variant of

We could change the path helper to use REPO_GIT_PATH_FUNC(), but doing

(with rippling effects up the call stack).
So let's punt on that for now and just silence any -Wunused-parameter
warning.
Note that we could also drop this parameter entirely, as the function is
always called directly, and not as a callback that has to conform to
some external interface. But since we'd eventually want to use the

This happens in other jobs, too, but in the `linux-asan-ubsan` job it
hurts the most because that job often takes over a full hour to run,
therefore re-running a failed `linux-asan-ubsan` job is _very_ costly.
The purpose of the `linux-asan-ubsan` job is to exercise the C code of
Git, anyway, and any part of Git's source code that the `git-p4` tests
run and that would benefit from the attention of ASAN/UBSAN are run
better in other tests anyway, as debugging C code run via Python scripts
can get a bit hairy.
In fact, it is not even just `git-p4` that is the problem (even if it
flakes often enough to be problematic in the CI builds), but really the
part about Python scripts. So let's just skip any Python parts of the
tests from being run in that job.
For good measure, also skip the Subversion tests because debugging C
code run via Perl scripts is as much fun as debugging C code run via
Python scripts. And it will reduce the time this very expensive job
takes, which is a big benefit.

This section was added in 3d89a8c118 (Documentation/technical: add
cruft-packs.txt, 2022-05-20) to highlight a potential pitfall when
deploying cruft packs in an environment where multiple versions of Git
are GC-ing the same repository.
Now that it has been more than a year since 3d89a8c118 was written,
let's drop this section as it is no longer relevant.

This text, originally from 3d89a8c118 (Documentation/technical: add
cruft-packs.txt, 2022-05-20) lists multiple cruft packs as a potential
alternative to the design of cruft packs.
We have always supported multiple cruft packs (i.e. we use the most
recent mtime for a given object among all cruft packs which contain it,
etc.), but haven't encouraged its use.
We still aren't encouraging users to go out and generate multiple cruft
packs, but let's take a step in that direction by dropping language that
suggests we aren't capable of working with multiple cruft packs.

When pack-objects learned the `--cruft` option back in b757353676
(builtin/pack-objects.c: --cruft without expiration, 2022-05-20), we
explicitly forbade `--cruft` with `--max-pack-size`.
At the time, there was no specific rationale given in the patch for not
supporting the `--max-pack-size` option with `--cruft`. (As best I can
remember, it's because we were trying to push users towards only ever
having a single cruft pack, but I cannot be sure).
However, `--max-pack-size` is flexible enough that it already works with
`--cruft` and can shard unreachable objects across multiple cruft packs,
creating separate ".mtimes" files as appropriate. In fact, the
`--max-pack-size` option worked with `--cruft` as far back as
b757353676!
This is because we overwrite the `written_list`, and pass down the
appropriate length, i.e. the number of objects written in each pack
shard.

When reading input with the `--cruft` option, `git pack-objects` reads
each line into a strbuf, and then moves it to either the list of
discarded or fresh packs, depending on whether or not the input line
starts with a '-' character.
At the beginning of each loop iteration, the next line of input is read
with `strbuf_getline()`, which calls `strbuf_reset()` (as a part of
`strbuf_getwholeline()`) before reading the next line of input.
Thus, the call to `strbuf_reset()` (added back in b757353676
(builtin/pack-objects.c: --cruft without expiration, 2022-05-20)) at the
end of the loop is unnecessary, so let's remove it accordingly.

SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 384 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
This leak was addressed independently via 68b51172e3 (commit-reach: fix
memory leak in get_reachable_subset(), 2023-06-03), which makes t5583
leak-free.
But t5583 was not in the tree when 68b51172e3 was written, and the two
only met after the latter was merged back in via 693bde461c (Merge
branch 'mh/commit-reach-get-reachable-plug-leak', 2023-06-20).
At that point, t5583 was leak-free. Let's mark it as such accordingly.

In the topic merged via 5a4f8381b6 (Merge branch
'ab/mark-leak-free-tests', 2021-10-25), a handful of tests in the suite
were marked as leak-free.
Since then, a handful of tests have become leak-free due to changes like
- 861c56f6f9 (branch: fix a leak in setup_tracking, 2023-06-11), and
- 866b43e644 (do_read_index(): always mark index as initialized unless
erroring out, 2023-06-29)
, but weren't updated at the time to mark themselves as such. This leads
to test "failures" when running:
$ make SANITIZE=leak
$ make -C t \
GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=check \
GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true \
GIT_TEST_OPTS=-vi test
This patch closes those gaps by exporting TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true
before sourcing t/test-lib.sh on most remaining leak-free tests.
There are a couple of other tests which are similarly leak-free, but not
included in the list of tests touched by this patch. The remaining tests
will be addressed in the subsequent two patches.

When I run the tests in leak-checking mode the same way our CI job does,
like:
make SANITIZE=leak \
GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true \
GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true \
test
then LSan can racily produce useless entries in the log files that look
like this:
==git==3034393==Unable to get registers from thread 3034307.
I think they're mostly harmless based on the source here:
7e0a52e8e9/compiler-rt/lib/lsan/lsan_common.cpp (L414)
which reads:
PtraceRegistersStatus have_registers =
suspended_threads.GetRegistersAndSP(i, ®isters, &sp);
if (have_registers != REGISTERS_AVAILABLE) {
Report("Unable to get registers from thread %llu.\n", os_id);
// If unable to get SP, consider the entire stack to be reachable unless
// GetRegistersAndSP failed with ESRCH.
if (have_registers == REGISTERS_UNAVAILABLE_FATAL)
continue;
sp = stack_begin;
}
The program itself still runs fine and LSan doesn't cause us to abort.
But test-lib.sh looks for any non-empty LSan logs and marks the test as
a failure anyway, under the assumption that we simply missed the failing
exit code somehow.
I don't think I've ever seen this happen in the CI job, but running
locally using clang-14 on an 8-core machine, I can't seem to make it
through a full run of the test suite without having at least one
failure. And it's a different one every time (though they do seem to
often be related to packing tests, which makes sense, since that is one
of our biggest users of threaded code).
We can hack around this by only counting LSan log files that contain a
line that doesn't match our known-uninteresting pattern.

There are many reasons why discovering a Git directory may fail. In
particular, 8959555cee (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for
the top-level directory, 2022-03-02) added ownership checks as a
security precaution.
Callers attempting to set up a Git directory may want to inform the user
about the reason for the failure. For that, expose the enum
discovery_result from within setup.c and move it into cache.h where
discover_git_directory() is defined.
I initially wanted to change the return type of discover_git_directory()
to be this enum, but several callers rely upon the "zero means success".
The two problems with this are:
1. The zero value of the enum is actually GIT_DIR_NONE, so nonpositive
results are errors.
2. There are multiple successful states; positive results are
successful.
It is worth noting that GIT_DIR_NONE is not returned, so we remove this
option from the enum. We must be careful to keep the successful reasons
as positive values, so they are given explicit positive values.
Instead of updating all callers immediately, add a new method,
discover_git_directory_reason(), and convert discover_git_directory() to
be a thin shim on top of it.
One thing that is important to note is that discover_git_directory()
previously returned -1 on error, so let's continue that into the future.
There is only one caller (in scalar.c) that depends on that signedness
instead of a non-zero check, so clean that up, too.
Because there are extra checks that discover_git_directory_reason() does
after setup_git_directory_gently_1(), there are other modes that can be
returned for failure states. Add these modes to the enum, but be sure to
explicitly add them as BUG() states in the switch of
setup_git_directory_gently().

done because all four options are hidden and self-explanatory.
They cause a NULL pointer dereference when using the option --help-all

At times, we may need to push the same commit to multiple branches
in the same push. Rewinding 'next' to rebuild on top of 'master'
soon after a release is such an occasion. Making sure 'main' stays
in sync with 'master' to help those who expect that primary branch
of the project is named either of these is another.
We already use the branch name as a "concurrency group" key, but
that does not address the situation illustrated above.
Let's introduce another `concurrency` attribute, using the commit
hash as the concurrency group key, on the workflow run level, to
address this. This will hold any workflow run in the queued state
when there is already a workflow run targeting the same commit,
until that latter run completed. The `skip-if-redundant` check of
the second run will then have a chance to see whether the first
run succeeded.
The only caveat with this strategy is that only one workflow run
will be kept in the queued state by the `concurrency` feature: if
another run targeting the same commit is triggered, the
previously-queued run will be canceled. Considering the benefit,
this seems the smaller price to pay than to overload Git's build
agent pool with undesired workflow runs.

Remove some code supporting ancient Cygwin Tcl/Tk versions. Also fix

git-gui - use mkshortcut on Cygwin
git-gui - use cygstart to browse on Cygwin
git-gui - remove obsolete Cygwin specific code
git gui Makefile - remove Cygwin modifications
git-gui enables the "Repository->Create Desktop Icon" item on Cygwin,
offering to create a shortcut that starts git-gui on the current
repository. The code in do_cygwin_shortcut invokes function
win32_create_lnk to create the shortcut. This latter function is shared
between Cygwin and Git For Windows and expects Windows rather than unix
pathnames, though do_cygwin_shortcut provides unix pathnames. Also, this
function tries to invoke the Windows Script Host to run a javascript
snippet, but this fails under Cygwin's Tcl. So, win32_create_lnk just
does not support Cygwin.
However, Cygwin's default installation provides /bin/mkshortcut for
creating desktop shortcuts. This is compatible with exec under Cygwin's
Tcl, understands Cygwin's unix pathnames, and avoids the need for shell
escapes to encode troublesome paths. So, teach git-gui to use mkshortcut
on Cygwin, leaving win32_create_lnk unchanged and for exclusive use by
Git For Windows.
Notes: "CHERE_INVOKING=1" is recognized by Cygwin's /etc/profile and
prevents a "chdir $HOME", leaving the shell in the working directory
specified by the shortcut. That directory is written directly by
mkshortcut eliminating any problems with shell escapes and quoting.
The code being replaced includes the full pathname of the git-gui
creating the shortcut, but that git-gui might not be compatible with the
git found after /etc/profile sets the path, and might have a pathname
that defies encoding using shell escapes that can survive the multiple
incompatible interpreters involved in the chain of creating and using
this shortcut. The new code uses bare "git gui" as the command to
execute, thus using the system git to launch the system git-gui, and
avoiding both issues.

git-gui enables the "Repository->Explore Working Copy" menu on Cygwin,
offering to open a Windows graphical file browser at the root of the
working directory. This code, shared with Git For Windows support,
depends upon use of Windows pathnames. However, git gui on Cygwin uses
unix pathnames, so this shared code will not work on Cygwin.
A base install of Cygwin provides the /bin/cygstart utility that runs
a registered Windows application based upon the file type, after
translating unix pathnames to Windows. Adding the --explore option
guarantees that the Windows file explorer is opened, regardless of the
supplied pathname's file type and avoiding possibility of some other
action being taken.
So, teach git-gui to use cygstart --explore on Cygwin, restoring the
pre-2012 behavior of opening a Windows file explorer for browsing. This
separates the Git For Windows and Cygwin code paths. Note that
is_Windows is never true on Cygwin, and is_Cygwin is never true on Git
for Windows, though this is not obvious by examining the code for those
independent functions.

In the current git release, git-gui runs on Cygwin without enabling any
of git-gui's Cygwin specific code. This happens as the Cygwin specific
code in git-gui was (mostly) written in 2007-2008 to work with Cygwin's
then supplied Tcl/Tk which was an incompletely ported variant of the
8.4.1 Windows Tcl/Tk code. In March, 2012, that 8.4.1 package was
replaced with a full port based upon the upstream unix/X11 code,
since maintained up to date. The two Tcl/Tk packages are completely
incompatible, and have different signatures.
When Cygwin's Tcl/Tk signature changed in 2012, git-gui no longer
detected Cygwin, so did not enable Cygwin specific code, and the POSIX
environment provided by Cygwin since 2012 supported git-gui as a generic
unix. Thus, no-one apparently noticed the existence of incompatible
Cygwin specific code.
However, since commit c5766eae6f in the git-gui source tree
(https://github.com/prati0100/git-gui, master at a5005ded), and not yet
pulled into the git repository, the is_Cygwin function does detect
Cygwin using the unix/X11 Tcl/Tk. The Cygwin specific code is enabled,
causing use of Windows rather than unix pathnames, and enabling
incorrect warnings about environment variables that were relevant only
to the old Tcl/Tk. The end result is that (upstream) git-gui is now
incompatible with Cygwin.
So, delete Cygwin specific code (code protected by "if is_Cygwin") that
is not needed in any form to work with the unix/X11 Tcl/Tk.
Cygwin specific code required to enable file browsing and shortcut
creation is not addressed in this patch, does not currently work, and
invocation of those items may leave git-gui in a confused state.

git-gui's Makefile hardcodes the absolute Windows path of git-gui's libraries
into git-gui, destroying the ability to package git-gui on one machine and
distribute to others. The intent is to do this only if a non-Cygwin Tcl/Tk is
installed, but the test for this is wrong with the unix/X11 Tcl/Tk shipped
since 2012. Also, Cygwin does not support a non-Cygwin Tcl/Tk.
The Cygwin git maintainer disables this code, so this code is definitely
not in use in the Cygwin distribution.
The simplest fix is to just delete the Cygwin specific code,
allowing the Makefile to work out of the box on Cygwin. Do so.

Often when documentation and code have diverged for so long, we
prefer to change the documentation instead, to avoid disrupting
users. But doing so would make these weirdly unlike most other
"specific overrides general" config options. And the fact that the
bug has existed for so long without anyone noticing implies to me
that nobody really tries to mix and match them much.

The output from "--raw", "--name-status", and "--name-only" modes in
"git diff" does depend on and does not reflect how certain different
contents are considered equal, unlike "--patch" and "--stat" output
modes do, when used with options like "-w" (another way of thinking
about it is that it is not like we recompute the hash of the blob
after removing all whitespaces to show "git diff --raw -w" output).
But the fact that "--raw" and friends ignore "-w" is not a good
excuse for "diff --raw -w --exit-code" to also ignore the request to
report the differences with its exit status. When run without "-w",
"git diff --exit-code --raw" does report with its exit status the
differences as requested, and we should do the same when run with
"-w", too.

When validating that a commit-graph has either all zero, or all non-zero
generation numbers, we emit a warning on both the rising and falling
edge of transitioning between the two.
So if we are unfortunate enough to see a commit-graph which has a
repeating sequence of zero, then non-zero generation numbers, we'll
generate many warnings that contain more or less the same information.
Avoid this by keeping track of a single example for a commit with zero-
and non-zero generation, and emit a single warning at the end of
verification if both are non-NULL.

In verify_one_commit_graph(), we have code that complains when a commit
is found with a generation number of zero, and then later with a
non-zero number. It works like this:
1. When we see an entry with generation zero, we set the
generation_zero flag to GENERATION_ZERO_EXISTS.
2. When we later see an entry with a non-zero generation, we complain
if the flag is GENERATION_ZERO_EXISTS.
There's a matching GENERATION_NUMBER_EXISTS value, which in theory would
be used to find the case that we see the entries in the opposite order:
1. When we see an entry with a non-zero generation, we set the
generation_zero flag to GENERATION_NUMBER_EXISTS.
2. When we later see an entry with a zero generation, we complain if
the flag is GENERATION_NUMBER_EXISTS.
But that doesn't work; step 2 is implemented, but there is no step 1. We
never use NUMBER_EXISTS at all, and Coverity rightly complains that step
2 is dead code.
We can fix that by implementing that step 1.

In 2ee11f7261 (commit-graph: return generation from memory, 2023-03-20),
the `commit_graph_generation()` function stopped returning zeros when
asked to locate the generation number of a given commit.
This was done at the time to prepare for a later change which set
generation values in memory, meaning that we could no longer rely on
`graph_pos` alone to tell us whether or not to trust the generation
number returned by this function.
In 2ee11f7261, it was noted that this change only impacted very old
commit-graphs, which were written with all commits having generation
number 0. Indeed, zero is not a valid generation number, so we should
never expect to see that value outside of the aforementioned case.
The test fallout in 2ee11f7261 indicated that we were no longer able to
fsck a specific old case of commit-graph corruption, where we see a
non-zero generation number after having seen a generation number of 0
earlier.
Introduce a variant of `commit_graph_generation()` which behaves like
that function did prior to 2ee11f7261, known as
`commit_graph_generation_from_graph()`. Then use this function in the
context of `verify_one_commit_graph()`, where we only want to trust the
values from the graph.

Many programs use diff_result_code() to get a user-visible program exit
code from a diff result (e.g., checking opts.found_changes if
--exit-code was requested).
This function also takes a "status" parameter, which seems at first
glance that it could be used to propagate an error encountered when
computing the diff. But it doesn't work that way:
- negative values are passed through as-is, but are not appropriate as
program exit codes
- when --exit-code or --check is in effect, we _ignore_ the passed-in
status completely. So a failed diff which did not have a chance to
set opts.found_changes would erroneously report "success, no
changes" instead of propagating the error.
After recent cleanups, neither of these bugs is possible to trigger, as
every caller just passes in "0". So rather than fixing them, we can
simply drop the useless parameter instead.

Since git-diff has many diff modes, it dispatches to many helpers to
perform each one. But every helper simply returns "0", as it exits
directly if there are serious errors (and options like --exit-code are
handled afterwards). So let's get rid of these useless return values,
which makes the code flow more clear.
There's very little chance that we'd later want to propagate errors
instead of dying immediately. These are all static-local helpers for the
git-diff program implementing its various modes. More "lib-ified" code
would directly call the underlying functions.

Neither of these functions ever returns a value other than zero.
Instead, they expect unrecoverable errors to exit immediately, and
things like "--exit-code" are stored inside the diff_options struct to
be handled later via diff_result_code().
Some callers do check the return values, but many don't bother. Let's
drop the useless return values, which are misleading callers about how
the functions work. This could be seen as a step in the wrong direction,
as we might want to eventually "lib-ify" these to more cleanly return
errors up the stack, in which case we'd have to add the return values
back in. But there are some benefits to doing this now:
1. In the current code, somebody could accidentally add a "return -1"
to one of the functions, which would be erroneously ignored by many
callers. By removing the return code, the compiler can notice the
mismatch and force the developer to decide what to do.
Obviously the other option here is that we could start consistently
checking the error code in every caller. But it would be dead code,
and we wouldn't get any compile-time help in catching new cases.
2. It communicates the situation to callers, who may want to choose a
different function. These functions are really thin wrappers for
doing git-diff-files and git-diff-index within the process. But
callers who care about recovering from an error here are probably
better off using the underlying library functions, many of
which do return errors.
If somebody eventually wants to teach these functions to propagate
errors, they'll have to switch back to returning a value, effectively
reverting this patch. But at least then they will be starting with a
level playing field: they know that they will need to inspect each
caller to see how it should handle the error.

When the git-diff program fails to read the index in its diff-files or
diff-index helper functions, it propagates the error up the stack. This
eventually lands in diff_result_code(), which does not handle it well
(as discussed in the previous patch).
Since the only sensible thing here is to exit with an error code (and
what we were expecting the propagated error code to cause), let's just
do that directly.
There's no test here, as I'm not even sure this case can be triggered.
The index-reading functions tend to die() themselves when encountering
any errors, and the return value is just the number of entries in the
file (and so always 0 or positive). But let's err on the conservative
side and keep checking the return value. It may be worth digging into as
a separate topic (though index-reading is low-level enough that we
probably want to eventually teach it to propagate errors anyway for
lib-ification purposes, at which point this code would already be doing
the right thing).

The git-diff command has many modes (comparing worktree to index, index
to HEAD, individual blobs, etc). As a result, it dispatches to many
helper functions and cannot completely parse its options until we're in
those helper functions.
Most of them, when seeing an unknown option, exit immediately by calling
usage(). But builtin_diff_files(), which is the default if no revision
or blob arguments are given, instead prints an error() and returns -1.
One obvious shortcoming here is that the user doesn't get to see the
usual usage message. But there's a much more important bug: the -1
return is fed to diff_result_code(), which is not ready to handle it.
By default, it passes the code along as an exit code. We try to avoid
negative exit codes because they get converted to unsigned values, but
it should at least consistently show up as non-zero (i.e., a failure).
But much worse is that when --exit-code is in effect, diff_result_code()
will _ignore_ the status passed in by the caller, and instead only
report on whether the diff found changes. It didn't, of course, because
we never ran the diff, and the program unexpectedly exits with success!
We can fix this bug by just calling usage(), like the other helpers do.
Another option would of course be to teach diff_result_code() to handle
this value. But as we'll see in the next few patches, it can be cleaned
up even further. Let's just fix this bug directly to start with.

If loading the index fails, we print an error and then return "-1" from
the function. But since this is a builtin, we end up with exit(-1),
which produces odd results since program exit codes are unsigned.
Because of integer conversion, it usually becomes 255, which is at least
still an error, but values above 128 are usually interpreted as signal
death.
Since we know the program is exiting immediately, we can just replace
the error return with a die().

Many callers of run_diff_index() passed literal "1" for the option

A bit tricky call to the function is in builtin/submodule--helper.c

We prefer for callback functions to match the signature with which
they'll be called, rather than casting them to the correct type when
assigning function pointers. Even though casting often works in the real
world, it is a violation of the standard.
We did a mass conversion in 939af16eac (hashmap_cmp_fn takes
hashmap_entry params, 2019-10-06), but have grown a few new cases since
then. Because of the cast, the compiler does not complain. However, as
of clang-18, UBSan will catch these at run-time, and the case in
range-diff.c triggers when running t3206.
After seeing that one, I scanned the results of:
git grep '_fn)[^(]' '*.c' | grep -v typedef
and found a similar case in compat/terminal.c (which presumably isn't
called in the test suite, since it doesn't trigger UBSan). There might
be other cases lurking if the cast is done using a typedef that doesn't
end in "_fn", but loosening it finds too many false positives. I also
looked for:
git grep ' = ([a-z_]*) *[a-z]' '*.c'
to find assignments that cast, but nothing looked like a function.
The resulting code is unfortunately a little longer, but the bonus of
using container_of() is that we are no longer restricted to the
hashmap_entry being at the start of the struct.

the contents of the blobs, taking into account that certain changes
are considered no-op.
With the previous step, we taught "--patch" codepath to set the
.found_changes bit correctly, even for a change that only affects
the mode and not object. The "--stat" codepath, however, did not
set the .found_changes bit at all. This lead to
$ git diff --stat -w --exit-code
for a change that does have an output to exit with status 0.

Teach the builtin_diff() codepath that creation and deletion as well
as mode changes are all interesting changes.
Note that the test specifically checks removal of an empty file,
because if there is anything in the preimage (i.e. the removed file
is not empty), the removal would still trigger textual patch output
and the codepath for that does update .found_changes bit to report
that it found an interesting change. We need to make sure that the
.found_changes bit is set even without triggering textual patch
output.

When "--exit-code" is asked and the code cannot just answer by
comparing the object names on both sides but needs to inspect and
compare the contents, there are two ways that the result is found
out.
Some output modes, like "--stat" and "--patch", inherently have to
inspect the contents in order to show the differences in the way
they do. The codepaths for these modes set the .found_changes bit
as they compute what to show.
However, other output modes do not need to inspect the contents to
show the differences in the way they do. The most notable example
is "--quiet", which does not need to compute any output to show.
When they are asked to report "--exit-code", they run the codepaths
for the "--patch" output with their output redirected to "/dev/null",
only to set the .found_changes bit.
Currently, this fallback invocation of "--patch" output is done
after the "--stat" output format and its friends and before the
"--patch" and internal callback logic. Move it to the end of
the sequence to clarify the fallback status of this code block.

Before this patch, git check-attr was unable to read the attributes from
a .gitattributes file within a sparse directory. The original comment
was operating under the assumption that users are only interested in
files or directories inside the cones. Therefore, in the original code,
in the case of a cone-mode sparse-checkout, we didn't load the
.gitattributes file.
However, this behavior can lead to missing attributes for files inside
sparse directories, causing inconsistencies in file handling.
To resolve this, revise 'git check-attr' to allow attribute reading for
files in sparse directories from the corresponding .gitattributes files:
1.Utilize path_in_cone_mode_sparse_checkout() and index_name_pos_sparse
to check if a path falls within a sparse directory.
2.If path is inside a sparse directory, employ the value of
index_name_pos_sparse() to find the sparse directory containing path and
path relative to sparse directory. Proceed to read attributes from the
tree OID of the sparse directory using read_attr_from_blob().
3.If path is not inside a sparse directory，ensure that attributes are
fetched from the index blob with read_blob_data_from_index().
Change the test 'check-attr with pathspec outside sparse definition' to
'test_expect_success' to reflect that the attributes inside a sparse
directory can now be read. Ensure that the sparse index case works
correctly for git check-attr to illustrate the successful handling of
attributes within sparse directories.

The 'git maintenance run' command prevents concurrent runs in the same
repository using a 'maintenance.lock' file. However, when using systemd
the hourly maintenance runs the same time as the daily and weekly runs.
(Similarly, daily maintenance runs at the same time as weekly
maintenance.) These competing commands result in some maintenance not
actually being run.
This overlap was something we could not fix until we made the recent
change to not use the builting 'hourly', 'daily', and 'weekly' schedules
in systemd. We can adjust the schedules such that:
1. Hourly runs avoid the 0th hour.
2. Daily runs avoid Monday.
This will keep maintenance runs from colliding when using systemd.

The get_random_minute() method was created to allow maintenance
schedules to be fixed to a random minute of the hour. This randomness is
only intended to spread out the load from a number of clients, but each
client should have an hour between each maintenance cycle.
Add this random minute to the systemd integration.
This integration is more complicated than similar changes for other
schedulers because of a neat trick that systemd allows: templating.
The previous implementation generated two template files with names
of the form 'git-maintenance@.(timer|service)'. The '.timer' or
'.service' indicates that this is a template that is picked up when we
later specify '...@<schedule>.timer' or '...@<schedule>.service'. The
'<schedule>' string is then used to insert into the template both the
'OnCalendar' schedule setting and the '--schedule' parameter of the
'git maintenance run' command.
In order to set these schedules to a given minute, we can no longer use
the 'hourly', 'daily', or 'weekly' strings for '<schedule>' and instead
need to abandon the template model for the .timer files. We can still
use templates for the .service files. For this reason, we split these
writes into two methods.
Modify the template with a custom schedule in the 'OnCalendar' setting.
This schedule has some interesting differences from cron-like patterns,
but is relatively easy to figure out from context. The one that might be
confusing is that '*-*-*' is a date-based pattern, but this must be
omitted when using 'Mon' to signal that we care about the day of the
week. Monday is used since that matches the day used for the 'weekly'
schedule used previously.
Now that the timer files are not templates, we might want to abandon the
'@' symbol in the file names. However, this would cause users with
existing schedules to get two competing schedules due to different
names. The work to remove the old schedule name is one thing that we can
avoid by keeping the '@' symbol in our unit names. Since we are locked
into this name, it makes sense that we keep the template model for the
.service files.
The rest of the change involves making sure we are writing these .timer
and .service files before initializing the schedule with 'systemctl' and
deleting the files when we are done. Some changes are also made to share
the random minute along with a single computation of the execution path
of the current Git executable.
In addition, older Git versions may have written a
'git-maintenance@.timer' template file. Be sure to remove this when
successfully enabling maintenance (or disabling maintenance).

The systemd_timer_write_unit_templates() method writes a single template
that is then used to start the hourly, daily, and weekly schedules with
systemd.
However, in order to schedule systemd maintenance on a given minute,
these templates need to be replaced with specific schedules for each of
these jobs.
Before modifying the schedules, move the writing method above the
systemd_timer_enable_unit() method, so we can write a specific schedule
for each unit.
The diff is computed smaller by showing systemd_timer_enable_unit() and
systemd_timer_delete_units() move instead of
systemd_timer_write_unit_templates() and
systemd_timer_delete_unit_templates().

When we initially created background maintenance -- with its hourly,
daily, and weekly schedules -- we considered the effects of all clients
launching fetches to the server every hour on the hour. The worry of
DDoSing server hosts was noted, but left as something we would consider
for a future update.
As background maintenance has gained more adoption over the past three
years, our worries about DDoSing the big Git hosts has been unfounded.
Those systems, especially those serving public repositories, are already
resilient to thundering herds of much smaller scale.
However, sometimes organizations spin up specific custom server
infrastructure either in addition to or on top of their Git host. Some
of these technologies are built for a different range of scale, and can
hit concurrency limits sooner. Organizations with such custom
infrastructures are more likely to recommend tools like `scalar` which
furthers their adoption of background maintenance.
To help solve for this, create get_random_minute() as a method to help
Git select a random minute when creating schedules in the future. The
integrations with this method do not yet exist, but will follow in
future changes.
To avoid multiple sources of randomness in the Git codebase, create a
new helper function, git_rand(), that returns a random uint32_t. This is
similar to how rand() returns a random nonnegative value, except it is
based on csprng_bytes() which is cryptographic and will return values
larger than RAND_MAX.
One thing that is important for testability is that we notice when we
are under a test scenario and return a predictable result. The schedules
themselves are not checked for this value, but at least one launchctl
test checks that we do not unnecessarily reboot the schedule if it has
not changed from a previous version.

Test t5516-fetch-push.sh has a test 'deny fetch unreachable SHA1,
allowtipsha1inwant=true' that checks stderr for a specific error
string from the remote. In some build environments the error sent
over the remote connection gets mingled with the error from the
die() statement. Since both signals are being output to the same
file descriptor (but from parent and child processes), the output
we are matching with grep gets split.
To reduce the risk of this failure, follow this process instead:
1. Write an error message to stderr.
2. Write an error message across the connection.
3. exit(1).
This reorders the events so the error is written entirely before
the client receives a message from the remote, removing the race

The `pack_geometry` struct is used to maintain and partition a list of
packfiles into a "frozen" set (to be left alone), and a non-frozen set
(to be combined into a single new pack). In the previous commit, we
removed a leak caused by neglecting to free() the heap allocated space
used to store the structure itself.
But there is no need for this structure to live on the heap anyway.
Instead, let's move it to be stack allocated, eliminating the
possibility of a direct leak like the one addressed in the previous
patch.
The one minor hitch is that we use the NULL-ness of the pack_geometry's
struct pointer to determine whether or not we are performing a geometric
repack with `--geometric=<d>`. But since we only initialize the
pack_geometry structure when the `geometric_factor` is non-zero, we can
use that variable (based on whether or not it is equal to zero) to
determine whether or not we are performing a geometric repack.
There are a couple of spots that have access to a pointer to the
pack_geometry struct, but not the geometric_factor itself. Instead of
passing in an additional variable, let's make the geometric_factor a
field of the pack_geometry struct.

The "update-index --unresolve" is a relatively old feature that was
introduced in Git v1.4.1 (June 2006), which predates the
resolve-undo extension introduced in Git v1.7.0 (February 2010).
The original code that was limited only to work during a merge (and
not during a rebase or a cherry-pick) has been kept as the fallback
codepath to be used as a transition measure.
By now, for more than 10 years we have stored resolve-undo extension
in the index file, and the fallback code way outlived its usefulness.

"update-index --unresolve" uses the unmerge_index_entry_at() that
assumes that the path to be unresolved must be in the index, which
makes it impossible to unresolve a path that was resolved as removal.
Rewrite unresolve_one() to use the unmerge_index_entry() to support
unresolving such a path.
Existing tests for "update-index --unresolve" forgot to check one
thing that tests for "checkout --merge -- paths" tested, which is to
make sure that resolve-undo record that has already been used to
recreate higher-stage index entries is removed. Add new invocations
of "ls-files --resolve-undo" after running "update-index --unresolve"
to make sure that unresolving with update-index does remove the used
resolve-undo records.

The resolve-undo index extension records up to three (mode, object
name) tuples for non-zero stages for each path that was resolved,
to be used to recreate the original conflicted state later when the
user requests.
The unmerge_index_entry_at() function uses the resolve-undo data to
do so, but it assumes that the path for which the conflicted state
needs to be recreated can be specified by the position in the
active_cache[] array. This obviously cannot salvage the state of
conflicted paths that were resolved by removing them. For example,
a delete-modify conflict, in which the change whose "modify" side
made is a trivial typofix, may legitimately be resolved to remove
the path, and resolve-undo extension does record the two (mode,
object name) tuples for the common ancestor version and their
version, lacking our version. But after recording such a removal of
the path, you should be able to use resolve-undo data to recreate
the conflicted state.
Introduce a new unmerge_index_entry() helper function that takes the
path (which does not necessarily have to exist in the active_cache[]
array) and resolve-undo data, and use it to reimplement unmerge_index()
public function that is used by "git rerere".
The limited interface is still kept for now, as it is used by "git
checkout -m" and "git update-index --unmerge", but these two codepaths
will be updated to lift the assumption to allow conflicts that resolved
to deletion can be recreated.

When "update-index --unresolve $path" cannot find the resolve-undo
record for the path the user requested to unresolve, it stuffs the
blobs from HEAD and MERGE_HEAD to stage #2 and stage #3 as a
fallback. For this reason, the operation does not even start unless
both "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD" exist.
This is suboptimal in a few ways:
* It does not recreate stage #1. Even though it is a correct
design decision not to do so (because it is impossible to
recreate in general cases, without knowing how we got there,
including what merge strategy was used), it is much less useful
not to have that information in the index.
* It limits the "unresolve" operation only during a conflicted "git
merge" and nothing else. Other operations like "rebase",
"cherry-pick", and "switch -m" may result in conflicts, and the
user may want to unresolve the conflict that they incorrectly
resolved in order to redo the resolution, but the fallback would
not kick in.
* Most importantly, the entire "unresolve" operation is disabled
after a conflicted merge is committed and MERGE_HEAD is removed,
even though the index has perfectly usable resolve-undo records.
By lazily reading the HEAD and MERGE_HEAD only when we need to go to
the fallback codepath, we will allow cases where resolve-undo
records are available (which is 100% of the time, unless the user is
reading from an index file created by Git more than 10 years ago) to
proceed even after a conflicted merge was committed, during other
mergy operations that do not use MERGE_HEAD, or after the result of
such mergy operations has been committed.

Since GNU make 4.4 the semantics of the $(MAKEFLAGS) variable has
changed in a backward-incompatible way, as its "NEWS" file notes:
Previously only simple (one-letter) options were added to the MAKEFLAGS
variable that was visible while parsing makefiles. Now, all options are
available in MAKEFLAGS. If you want to check MAKEFLAGS for a one-letter
option, expanding "$(firstword -$(MAKEFLAGS))" is a reliable way to return
the set of one-letter options which can be examined via findstring, etc.
This means that $(MAKEFLAGS) now contains long options like
"--jobserver-auth=fifo:<path>" and we have to adapt to that.
Note that the "-" in "-$(MAKEFLAGS)" is critical here, as the variable
will always contain leading whitespace if there are no short options,
but long options are present.
This is a partial backport of 67b36879fc (Makefiles: change search

Fix a Remote Code Execution vulnerability on Windows. This is caused by
the fact that Tcl on Windows always includes the current directory when
looking for an executable. Therefore malicious repositories can ship
with an aspell.exe in their top-level directory which is executed by Git
GUI without giving the user a chance to inspect it first, i.e. running
untrusted code.
This merge fixes CVE-2022-41953.
* js/windows-rce:
Work around Tcl's default `PATH` lookup
Move the `_which` function (almost) to the top
Move is_<platform> functions to the beginning
is_Cygwin: avoid `exec`ing anything
windows: ignore empty `PATH` elements
As per https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TclCmd/exec.html#M23, Tcl's `exec`
function goes out of its way to imitate the highly dangerous path lookup
of `cmd.exe`, but _of course_ only on Windows:
If a directory name was not specified as part of the application
name, the following directories are automatically searched in
order when attempting to locate the application:
The directory from which the Tcl executable was loaded.
The current directory.
The Windows 32-bit system directory.
The Windows home directory.
The directories listed in the path.
The dangerous part is the second item, of course: `exec` _prefers_
executables in the current directory to those that are actually in the
`PATH`.
It is almost as if people wanted to Windows users vulnerable,
specifically.
To avoid that, Git GUI already has the `_which` function that does not
imitate that dangerous practice when looking up executables in the
search path.
However, Git GUI currently fails to use that function e.g. when trying to
execute `aspell` for spell checking.
That is not only dangerous but combined with Tcl's unfortunate default
behavior and with the fact that Git GUI tries to spell-check a
repository just after cloning, leads to a critical Remote Code Execution
vulnerability.
Let's override both `exec` and `open` to always use `_which` instead of
letting Tcl perform the path lookup, to prevent this attack vector.

We are about to make use of the `_which` function to address
CVE-2022-41953 by overriding Tcl/Tk's unsafe PATH lookup on Windows.
In preparation for that, let's move it close to the top of the file to
make sure that even early `exec` calls that happen during the start-up
of Git GUI benefit from the fix.

We need these in `_which` and they should be defined before that
function's definition.

The `is_Cygwin` function is used, among other things, to determine
how executables are discovered in the `PATH` list by the `_which` function.
We are about to change the behavior of the `_which` function on Windows
(but not Cygwin): On Windows, we want it to ignore empty elements of the
`PATH` instead of treating them as referring to the current directory
(which is a "legacy feature" according to
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html#tag_08_03,
but apparently not explicitly deprecated, the POSIX documentation is
quite unclear on that even if the Cygwin project itself considers it to
be deprecated: https://github.com/cygwin/cygwin/commit/fc74dbf22f5c).
This is important because on Windows, `exec` does something very unsafe
by default (unless we're running a Cygwin version of Tcl, which follows
Unix semantics).
However, we try to `exec` something _inside_ `is_Cygwin` to determine
whether we're running within Cygwin or not, i.e. before we determined
whether we need to handle `PATH` specially or not. That's a Catch-22.
Therefore, and because it is much cleaner anyway, use the
`$::tcl_platform(os)` value which is guaranteed to start with `CYGWIN_`
when running a Cygwin variant of Tcl/Tk, instead of executing `cygpath
--windir`.

When looking up an executable via the `_which` function, Git GUI
imitates the `execlp()` strategy where the environment variable `PATH`
is interpreted as a list of paths in which to search.
For historical reasons, stemming from the olden times when it was
uncommon to download a lot of files from the internet into the current
directory, empty elements in this list are treated as if the current
directory had been specified.
Nowadays, of course, this treatment is highly dangerous as the current
directory often contains files that have just been downloaded and not
yet been inspected by the user. Unix/Linux users are essentially
expected to be very, very careful to simply not add empty `PATH`
elements, i.e. not to make use of that feature.
On Windows, however, it is quite common for `PATH` to contain empty
elements by mistake, e.g. as an unintended left-over entry when an
application was installed from the Windows Store and then uninstalled
manually.
While it would probably make most sense to safe-guard not only Windows
users, it seems to be common practice to ignore these empty `PATH`
elements _only_ on Windows, but not on other platforms.
Sadly, this practice is followed inconsistently between different
software projects, where projects with few, if any, Windows-based
contributors tend to be less consistent or even "blissful" about it.
Here is a non-exhaustive list:
Cygwin:
It specifically "eats" empty paths when converting path lists to
POSIX: https://github.com/cygwin/cygwin/commit/753702223c7d
I.e. it follows the common practice.
PowerShell:
It specifically ignores empty paths when searching the `PATH`.
The reason for this is apparently so self-evident that it is not
even mentioned here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_environment_variables#path-information
I.e. it follows the common practice.
CMD:
Oh my, CMD. Let's just forget about it, nobody in their right
(security) mind takes CMD as inspiration. It is so unsafe by
default that we even planned on dropping `Git CMD` from Git for
Windows altogether, and only walked back on that plan when we
found a super ugly hack, just to keep Git's users secure by
default:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/MINGW-packages/commit/82172388bb51
So CMD chooses to hide behind the battle cry "Works as
Designed!" that all too often leaves users vulnerable. CMD is
probably the most prominent project whose lead you want to avoid
following in matters of security.
Win32 API (`CreateProcess()`)
Just like CMD, `CreateProcess()` adheres to the original design
of the path lookup in the name of backward compatibility (see
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-createprocessw
for details):
If the file name does not contain a directory path, the
system searches for the executable file in the following
sequence:
1. The directory from which the application loaded.
2. The current directory for the parent process.
[...]
I.e. the Win32 API itself chooses backwards compatibility over
users' safety.
Git LFS:
There have been not one, not two, but three security advisories
about Git LFS executing executables from the current directory by
mistake. As part of one of them, a change was introduced to stop
treating empty `PATH` elements as equivalent to `.`:
https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/commit/7cd7bb0a1f0d
I.e. it follows the common practice.
Go:
Go does not follow the common practice, and you can think about
that what you want:
https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.19.3/src/os/exec/lp_windows.go#L114-L135https://github.com/golang/go/blob/go1.19.3/src/path/filepath/path_windows.go#L108-L137
Git Credential Manager:
It tries to imitate Git LFS, but unfortunately misses the empty
`PATH` element handling. As of time of writing, this is in the
process of being fixed:
https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manager/pull/968
So now that we have established that it is a common practice to ignore
empty `PATH` elements on Windows, let's assess this commit's change
using Schneier's Five-Step Process
(https://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram/archives/2002/0415.html#1):
Step 1: What problem does it solve?
It prevents an entire class of Remote Code Execution exploits via
Git GUI's `Clone` functionality.
Step 2: How well does it solve that problem?
Very well. It prevents the attack vector of luring an unsuspecting
victim into cloning an executable into the worktree root directory
that Git GUI immediately executes.
Step 3: What other security problems does it cause?
Maybe non-security problems: If a project (ab-)uses the unsafe
`PATH` lookup. That would not only be unsafe, though, but
fragile in the first place because it would break when running
in a subdirectory. Therefore I would consider this a scenario
not worth keeping working.
Step 4: What are the costs of this measure?
Almost nil, except for the time writing up this commit message
;-)
Step 5: Given the answers to steps two through four, is the security
measure worth the costs?
Yes. Keeping Git's users Secure By Default is worth it. It's a
tiny price to pay compared to the damages even a single
successful exploit can cost.
So let's follow that common practice in Git GUI, too.
