Clean up work-tree handling The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable, and not to the point. For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used? As in "git status". Now it works. Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why are some programs complaining that they need a work tree? IOW it is allowed to call $ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are inside a git directory. Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory. It does now. The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree (tertium non datur), is this: --work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true, which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found. In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/, which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

setup_git_directory: delay core.bare/core.worktree errors If both core.bare and core.worktree are set, we complain about the bogus config and die. Dying is good, because it avoids commands running and doing damage in a potentially incorrect setup. But dying _there_ is bad, because it means that commands which do not even care about the work tree cannot run. This can make repairing the situation harder: [setup] $ git config core.bare true $ git config core.worktree /some/path [OK, expected.] $ git status fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Hrm...] $ git config --unset core.worktree fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Nope...] $ git config --edit fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Gaaah.] $ git help config fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense Instead, let's issue a warning about the bogus config when we notice it (i.e., for all commands), but only die when the command tries to use the work tree (by calling setup_work_tree). So we now get: $ git status warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense fatal: unable to set up work tree using invalid config $ git config --unset core.worktree warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense We have to update t1510 to accomodate this; it uses symbolic-ref to check whether the configuration works or not, but of course that command does not use the working tree. Instead, we switch it to use `git status`, as it requires a work-tree, does not need any special setup, and is read-only (so a failure will not adversely affect further tests). In addition, we add a new test that checks the desired behavior (i.e., that running "git config" with the bogus config does in fact work).

setup: make startup_info available everywhere Commit a60645f (setup: remember whether repository was found, 2010-08-05) introduced the startup_info structure, which records some parts of the setup_git_directory() process (notably, whether we actually found a repository or not). One of the uses of this data is for functions to behave appropriately based on whether we are in a repo. But the startup_info struct is just a pointer to storage provided by the main program, and the only program that sets it up is the git.c wrapper. Thus builtins have access to startup_info, but externally linked programs do not. Worse, library code which is accessible from both has to be careful about accessing startup_info. This can be used to trigger a die("BUG") via get_sha1(): $ git fast-import <<-\EOF tag foo from HEAD:./whatever EOF fatal: BUG: startup_info struct is not initialized. Obviously that's fairly nonsensical input to feed to fast-import, but we should never hit a die("BUG"). And there may be other ways to trigger it if other non-builtins resolve sha1s. So let's point the storage for startup_info to a static variable in setup.c, making it available to all users of the library code. We _could_ turn startup_info into a regular extern struct, but doing so would mean tweaking all of the existing use sites. So let's leave the pointer indirection in place. We can, however, drop any checks for NULL, as they will always be false (and likewise, we can drop the test covering this case, which was a rather artificial situation using one of the test-* programs).

setup: sanitize absolute and funny paths in get_pathspec() The prefix_path() function called from get_pathspec() is responsible for translating list of user-supplied pathspecs to list of pathspecs that is relative to the root of the work tree. When working inside a subdirectory, the user-supplied pathspecs are taken to be relative to the current subdirectory. Among special path components in pathspecs, we used to accept and interpret only "." ("the directory", meaning a no-op) and ".." ("up one level") at the beginning. Everything else was passed through as-is. For example, if you are in Documentation/ directory of the project, you can name Documentation/howto/maintain-git.txt as: howto/maintain-git.txt ../Documentation/howto/maitain-git.txt ../././Documentation/howto/maitain-git.txt but not as: howto/./maintain-git.txt $(pwd)/howto/maintain-git.txt This patch updates prefix_path() in several ways: - If the pathspec is not absolute, prefix (i.e. the current subdirectory relative to the root of the work tree, with terminating slash, if not empty) and the pathspec is concatenated first and used in the next step. Otherwise, that absolute pathspec is used in the next step. - Then special path components "." (no-op) and ".." (up one level) are interpreted to simplify the path. It is an error to have too many ".." to cause the intermediate result to step outside of the input to this step. - If the original pathspec was not absolute, the result from the previous step is the resulting "sanitized" pathspec. Otherwise, the result from the previous step is still absolute, and it is an error if it does not begin with the directory that corresponds to the root of the work tree. The directory is stripped away from the result and is returned. - In any case, the resulting pathspec in the array get_pathspec() returns omit the ones that caused errors.

check_filename: tighten dwim-wildcard ambiguity When specifying both revisions and pathnames, we allow "<rev> -- <pathspec>" to be spelled without the "--" as long as it is not ambiguous. The original logic was something like: 1. Resolve each item with get_sha1(). If successful, we know it can be a <rev>. Verify that it _isn't_ a filename, using verify_non_filename(), and complain of ambiguity otherwise. 2. If get_sha1() didn't succeed, make sure that it _is_ a file, using verify_filename(). If not, complain that it is neither a <rev> nor a <pathspec>. Both verify_filename() and verify_non_filename() rely on check_filename(), which definitely said "yes, this is a file" or "no, it is not" using lstat(). Commit 28fcc0b (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used, 2015-05-02) introduced a convenience feature: check_filename() will consider anything with wildcard meta-characters as a possible filename, without even checking the filesystem. This works well for case 2. For such a wildcard, we would previously have died and said "it is neither". Post-28fcc0b, we assume it's a pathspec and proceed. But it makes some instances of case 1 worse. We may have an extended sha1 expression that contains meta-characters (e.g., "HEAD^{/foo.*bar}"), and we now complain that it's also a filename, due to the wildcard characters (even though that wildcard would not match anything in the filesystem). One solution would be to actually expand the pathname and see if it matches anything on the filesystem. But that's potentially expensive, and we do not have to be so rigorous for this DWIM magic (if you want rigor, use "--"). Instead, we can just use different rules for cases 1 and 2. When we know something is a rev, we will complain only if it meets a much higher standard for "this is also a file"; namely that it actually exists in the filesystem. Case 2 remains the same: we use the looser "it could be a filename" standard introduced by 28fcc0b. We can accomplish this by pulling the wildcard logic out of check_filename() and putting it into verify_filename(). Its partner verify_non_filename() does not need a change, since check_filename() goes back to implementing the "higher standard". Besides these two callers of check_filename(), there is one other: git-checkout does a similar DWIM itself. It hits this code path only after get_sha1() has returned failure, making it case 2, which gets the special wildcard treatment. Note that we drop the tests in t2019 in favor of a more complete set in t6133. t2019 was not the right place for them (it's about refname ambiguity, not dwim parsing ambiguity), and the second test explicitly checked for the opposite result of the case we are fixing here (which didn't really make any sense; as shown by the test_must_fail in the test, it would only serve to annoy people).

standardize and improve lookup rules for external local repos When you specify a local repository on the command line of clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive, or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for .git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos. For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases, there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the same by both methods. This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are: 1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over "foo.git". With this patch, we do so. 2. We would select directories that existed but didn't actually look like git repositories. With this patch, we make sure a selected directory looks like a git repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it will help anybody who is negatively affected by change (1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding "foo.git" when they reference "foo"). 3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for "foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did not; with this patch, they now behave the same. In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the "inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying on it.

Clean up work-tree handling The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable, and not to the point. For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used? As in "git status". Now it works. Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why are some programs complaining that they need a work tree? IOW it is allowed to call $ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are inside a git directory. Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory. It does now. The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree (tertium non datur), is this: --work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true, which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found. In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/, which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

The work tree can be specified using the environment variable GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment variable has precendence over the config option).

Currently this changes if a repository is bare: updates of HEAD are allowed git gc packs the refs the reflog is disabled by default (2) is_inside_work_tree True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there is one), false otherwise. (3) is_inside_git_dir True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise. Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare repositories. When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is always called. This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified. inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a repository.

setup_git_directory: delay core.bare/core.worktree errors If both core.bare and core.worktree are set, we complain about the bogus config and die. Dying is good, because it avoids commands running and doing damage in a potentially incorrect setup. But dying _there_ is bad, because it means that commands which do not even care about the work tree cannot run. This can make repairing the situation harder: [setup] $ git config core.bare true $ git config core.worktree /some/path [OK, expected.] $ git status fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Hrm...] $ git config --unset core.worktree fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Nope...] $ git config --edit fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Gaaah.] $ git help config fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense Instead, let's issue a warning about the bogus config when we notice it (i.e., for all commands), but only die when the command tries to use the work tree (by calling setup_work_tree). So we now get: $ git status warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense fatal: unable to set up work tree using invalid config $ git config --unset core.worktree warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense We have to update t1510 to accomodate this; it uses symbolic-ref to check whether the configuration works or not, but of course that command does not use the working tree. Instead, we switch it to use `git status`, as it requires a work-tree, does not need any special setup, and is read-only (so a failure will not adversely affect further tests). In addition, we add a new test that checks the desired behavior (i.e., that running "git config" with the bogus config does in fact work).

setup: refactor repo format reading and verification When we want to know if we're in a git repository of reasonable vintage, we can call check_repository_format_gently(), which does three things: 1. Reads the config from the .git/config file. 2. Verifies that the version info we read is sane. 3. Writes some global variables based on this. There are a few things we could improve here. One is that steps 1 and 3 happen together. So if the verification in step 2 fails, we still clobber the global variables. This is especially bad if we go on to try another repository directory; we may end up with a state of mixed config variables. The second is there's no way to ask about the repository version for anything besides the main repository we're in. git-init wants to do this, and it's possible that we would want to start doing so for submodules (e.g., to find out which ref backend they're using). We can improve both by splitting the first two steps into separate functions. Now check_repository_format_gently() calls out to steps 1 and 2, and does 3 only if step 2 succeeds. Note that the public interface for read_repository_format() and what check_repository_format_gently() needs from it are not quite the same, leading us to have an extra read_repository_format_1() helper. The extra needs from check_repository_format_gently() will go away in a future patch, and we can simplify this then to just the public interface.

introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversion Normally we try to avoid bumps of the whole-repository core.repositoryformatversion field. However, it is unavoidable if we want to safely change certain aspects of git in a backwards-incompatible way (e.g., modifying the set of ref tips that we must traverse to generate a list of unreachable, safe-to-prune objects). If we were to bump the repository version for every such change, then any implementation understanding version `X` would also have to understand `X-1`, `X-2`, and so forth, even though the incompatibilities may be in orthogonal parts of the system, and there is otherwise no reason we cannot implement one without the other (or more importantly, that the user cannot choose to use one feature without the other, weighing the tradeoff in compatibility only for that particular feature). This patch documents the existing repositoryformatversion strategy and introduces a new format, "1", which lets a repository specify that it must run with an arbitrary set of extensions. This can be used, for example: - to inform git that the objects should not be pruned based only on the reachability of the ref tips (e.g, because it has "clone --shared" children) - that the refs are stored in a format besides the usual "refs" and "packed-refs" directories Because we bump to format "1", and because format "1" requires that a running git knows about any extensions mentioned, we know that older versions of the code will not do something dangerous when confronted with these new formats. For example, if the user chooses to use database storage for refs, they may set the "extensions.refbackend" config to "db". Older versions of git will not understand format "1" and bail. Versions of git which understand "1" but do not know about "refbackend", or which know about "refbackend" but not about the "db" backend, will refuse to run. This is annoying, of course, but much better than the alternative of claiming that there are no refs in the repository, or writing to a location that other implementations will not read. Note that we are only defining the rules for format 1 here. We do not ever write format 1 ourselves; it is a tool that is meant to be used by users and future extensions to provide safety with older implementations.

introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversion Normally we try to avoid bumps of the whole-repository core.repositoryformatversion field. However, it is unavoidable if we want to safely change certain aspects of git in a backwards-incompatible way (e.g., modifying the set of ref tips that we must traverse to generate a list of unreachable, safe-to-prune objects). If we were to bump the repository version for every such change, then any implementation understanding version `X` would also have to understand `X-1`, `X-2`, and so forth, even though the incompatibilities may be in orthogonal parts of the system, and there is otherwise no reason we cannot implement one without the other (or more importantly, that the user cannot choose to use one feature without the other, weighing the tradeoff in compatibility only for that particular feature). This patch documents the existing repositoryformatversion strategy and introduces a new format, "1", which lets a repository specify that it must run with an arbitrary set of extensions. This can be used, for example: - to inform git that the objects should not be pruned based only on the reachability of the ref tips (e.g, because it has "clone --shared" children) - that the refs are stored in a format besides the usual "refs" and "packed-refs" directories Because we bump to format "1", and because format "1" requires that a running git knows about any extensions mentioned, we know that older versions of the code will not do something dangerous when confronted with these new formats. For example, if the user chooses to use database storage for refs, they may set the "extensions.refbackend" config to "db". Older versions of git will not understand format "1" and bail. Versions of git which understand "1" but do not know about "refbackend", or which know about "refbackend" but not about the "db" backend, will refuse to run. This is annoying, of course, but much better than the alternative of claiming that there are no refs in the repository, or writing to a location that other implementations will not read. Note that we are only defining the rules for format 1 here. We do not ever write format 1 ourselves; it is a tool that is meant to be used by users and future extensions to provide safety with older implementations.

setup_git_directory: delay core.bare/core.worktree errors If both core.bare and core.worktree are set, we complain about the bogus config and die. Dying is good, because it avoids commands running and doing damage in a potentially incorrect setup. But dying _there_ is bad, because it means that commands which do not even care about the work tree cannot run. This can make repairing the situation harder: [setup] $ git config core.bare true $ git config core.worktree /some/path [OK, expected.] $ git status fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Hrm...] $ git config --unset core.worktree fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Nope...] $ git config --edit fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense [Gaaah.] $ git help config fatal: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense Instead, let's issue a warning about the bogus config when we notice it (i.e., for all commands), but only die when the command tries to use the work tree (by calling setup_work_tree). So we now get: $ git status warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense fatal: unable to set up work tree using invalid config $ git config --unset core.worktree warning: core.bare and core.worktree do not make sense We have to update t1510 to accomodate this; it uses symbolic-ref to check whether the configuration works or not, but of course that command does not use the working tree. Instead, we switch it to use `git status`, as it requires a work-tree, does not need any special setup, and is read-only (so a failure will not adversely affect further tests). In addition, we add a new test that checks the desired behavior (i.e., that running "git config" with the bogus config does in fact work).

setup: suppress implicit "." work-tree for bare repos If an explicit GIT_DIR is given without a working tree, we implicitly assume that the current working directory should be used as the working tree. E.g.,: GIT_DIR=/some/repo.git git status would compare against the cwd. Unfortunately, we fool this rule for sub-invocations of git by setting GIT_DIR internally ourselves. For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails, as we expect git config alias.st status git status ;# does not fail, but should What happens is that we run setup_git_directory when doing alias lookup (since we need to see the config), set GIT_DIR as a result, and then leave GIT_WORK_TREE blank (because we do not have one). Then when we actually run the status command, we do setup_git_directory again, which sees our explicit GIT_DIR and uses the cwd as an implicit worktree. It's tempting to argue that we should be suppressing that second invocation of setup_git_directory, as it could use the values we already found in memory. However, the problem still exists for sub-processes (e.g., if "git status" were an external command). You can see another example with the "--bare" option, which sets GIT_DIR explicitly. For example: git init foo cd foo/.git git status ;# fails git --bare status ;# does NOT fail We need some way of telling sub-processes "even though GIT_DIR is set, do not use cwd as an implicit working tree". We could do it by putting a special token into GIT_WORK_TREE, but the obvious choice (an empty string) has some portability problems. Instead, we add a new boolean variable, GIT_IMPLICIT_WORK_TREE, which suppresses the use of cwd as a working tree when GIT_DIR is set. We trigger the new variable when we know we are in a bare setting. The variable is left intentionally undocumented, as this is an internal detail (for now, anyway). If somebody comes up with a good alternate use for it, and once we are confident we have shaken any bugs out of it, we can consider promoting it further.

Also change t0060 to only pass normalized paths to the test program (no empty entries or non-absolute paths, strip trailing slashes from the paths, and remove tests that thereby become redundant). The point of this change is to reduce the scope of the ancestor_length tests in t0060 from testing normalization+longest_prefix to testing only mostly longest_prefix. This is necessary because when setup_git_directory_gently_1() starts resolving symlinks as part of its normalization, it will not be reasonable to do the same in the test suite, because that would make the test results depend on the contents of the root directory of the filesystem on which the test is run. HOWEVER: under Windows, bash mangles arguments that look like absolute POSIX paths into DOS paths. So we have to retain the level of normalization done by normalize_path_copy() to convert the bash-mangled DOS paths (which contain backslashes) into paths that use forward slashes.

longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized Move the responsibility for normalizing prefixes from longest_ancestor_length() to its callers. Use slightly different normalizations at the two callers: In setup_git_directory_gently_1(), use the old normalization, which ignores paths that are not usable. In the next commit we will change this caller to also resolve symlinks in the paths from GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES as part of the normalization. In "test-path-utils longest_ancestor_length", use the old normalization, but die() if any paths are unusable. Also change t0060 to only pass normalized paths to the test program (no empty entries or non-absolute paths, strip trailing slashes from the paths, and remove tests that thereby become redundant). The point of this change is to reduce the scope of the ancestor_length tests in t0060 from testing normalization+longest_prefix to testing only mostly longest_prefix. This is necessary because when setup_git_directory_gently_1() starts resolving symlinks as part of its normalization, it will not be reasonable to do the same in the test suite, because that would make the test results depend on the contents of the root directory of the filesystem on which the test is run. HOWEVER: under Windows, bash mangles arguments that look like absolute POSIX paths into DOS paths. So we have to retain the level of normalization done by normalize_path_copy() to convert the bash-mangled DOS paths (which contain backslashes) into paths that use forward slashes.

introduce GIT_WORK_TREE to specify the work tree setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently. The work tree can be specified using the environment variable GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment variable has precendence over the config option). Additionally there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the environment variable. setup_gdg does the following now: GIT_DIR unspecified repository in .git directory parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree, GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored GIT_DIR unspecified repository in cwd GIT_DIR is set to cwd see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and also see the note below GIT_DIR specified GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified cwd is used as work tree GIT_DIR specified GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified the specified work tree is used Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd: GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true. I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls setup_gdg should do the same thing every time. Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir: (1) is_bare_repository A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not named .git). The bare option disables a few protective checks which are useful with a working tree. Currently this changes if a repository is bare: updates of HEAD are allowed git gc packs the refs the reflog is disabled by default (2) is_inside_work_tree True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there is one), false otherwise. (3) is_inside_git_dir True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise. Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare repositories. When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is always called. This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified. inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a repository. The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

Clean up work-tree handling The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable, and not to the point. For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used? As in "git status". Now it works. Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why are some programs complaining that they need a work tree? IOW it is allowed to call $ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla when you really want to. In this case, you are both in the git directory and in the working tree. So, programs have to actually test for the right thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are inside a git directory. Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory. It does now. The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree (tertium non datur), is this: --work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true, which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found. In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/, which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the appropriate git dir. This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

setup: make startup_info available everywhere Commit a60645f (setup: remember whether repository was found, 2010-08-05) introduced the startup_info structure, which records some parts of the setup_git_directory() process (notably, whether we actually found a repository or not). One of the uses of this data is for functions to behave appropriately based on whether we are in a repo. But the startup_info struct is just a pointer to storage provided by the main program, and the only program that sets it up is the git.c wrapper. Thus builtins have access to startup_info, but externally linked programs do not. Worse, library code which is accessible from both has to be careful about accessing startup_info. This can be used to trigger a die("BUG") via get_sha1(): $ git fast-import <<-\EOF tag foo from HEAD:./whatever EOF fatal: BUG: startup_info struct is not initialized. Obviously that's fairly nonsensical input to feed to fast-import, but we should never hit a die("BUG"). And there may be other ways to trigger it if other non-builtins resolve sha1s. So let's point the storage for startup_info to a static variable in setup.c, making it available to all users of the library code. We _could_ turn startup_info into a regular extern struct, but doing so would mean tweaking all of the existing use sites. So let's leave the pointer indirection in place. We can, however, drop any checks for NULL, as they will always be false (and likewise, we can drop the test covering this case, which was a rather artificial situation using one of the test-* programs).
