a4d4e32a70 test: avoid pipes in git related commands for test
Avoid using pipes downstream of Git commands since the exit codes
of commands upstream of pipes get swallowed, thus potentially
hiding failure of those commands. Instead, capture Git command
output to a file and apply the downstream command(s) to that file.

2e96d8154f pack-objects: fix buggy warning about threads
Fix a buggy warning about threads under NO_PTHREADS=YesPlease. Due to
re-using the delta_search_threads variable for both the state of the
"pack.threads" config & the --threads option, setting "pack.threads"
but not supplying --threads would trigger the warning for both
"pack.threads" & --threads.

Solve this bug by resetting the delta_search_threads variable in
git_pack_config(), it might then be set by --threads again and be
subsequently warned about, as the test I'm changing here asserts.

967a3eaf43 pack-objects & index-pack: add test for --threads warning
Add a test for the warning that's emitted when --threads or
pack.threads is provided under NO_PTHREADS=YesPlease. This uses the
new PTHREADS prerequisite.

The assertion for C_LOCALE_OUTPUT in the latter test is currently
redundant, since unlike index-pack the pack-objects warnings aren't
i18n'd. However they might be changed to be i18n'd in the future, and
there's no harm in future-proofing the test.

There's an existing bug in the implementation of pack-objects which
this test currently tests for as-is. Details about the bug & the fix
are included in a follow-up change.

7176a31444 index-pack: complain when --stdin is used outside of a repo
The index-pack builtin is marked as RUN_SETUP_GENTLY,
because it's perfectly fine to index a pack in the
filesystem outside of any repository. However, --stdin mode
will write the result to the object database, which does not
make sense outside of a repository. Doing so creates a bogus
".git" directory with nothing in it except the newly-created
pack and its index.

Instead, let's flag this as an error and abort.

0e94242df1 index-pack: correct --keep[=<msg>]
When 592ce208 (index-pack: use strip_suffix to avoid magic numbers,
2014-06-30) refactored the code to derive names of .idx and .keep
files from the name of .pack file, a copy-and-paste typo crept in,
mistakingly attempting to create and store the keep message file in
the .idx file we just created, instead of .keep file.

As we create the .keep file with O_CREAT|O_EXCL, and we do so after
we write the .idx file, we luckily do not clobber the .idx file, but
because we deliberately ignored EEXIST when creating .keep file
(which is justifiable because only the existence of .keep file
matters), nobody noticed this mistake so far.

d6cd9ac905 t/t5300-pack-object.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitution
The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX.  However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly.  In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

The patch was generated by:

for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
	perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg'  "${_f}"
done

and then carefully proof-read.

94221d2203 t: use perl instead of "$PERL_PATH" where applicable
As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a
function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is
easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere.

This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/
replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke
perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The
result can be double-checked by running:

  ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
  make test

which continues to pass even after this patch.

a3428205e6 t: Replace 'perl' by $PERL_PATH
GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS defines PERL_PATH to be used in the test suite. Only a
few tests already actually use this variable when perl is needed. The
other test just call 'perl' and it might happen that the wrong perl
interpreter is used.

This becomes problematic on Windows, when the perl interpreter that is
compiled and installed on the Windows system is used, because this perl
interpreter might introduce some unexpected LF->CRLF conversions.

This patch makes sure that $PERL_PATH is used everywhere in the test suite
and that the correct perl interpreter is used.

This reverts most of commit a2430dde8c.

That commit made the situation better for repositories with relatively
small number of objects.  However with many objects and a small pack size
limit, the time required to complete the repack tends towards O(n^2),
or even much worse with long delta chains.

07cf0f2407 make --max-pack-size argument to 'git pack-object' count in bytes
The value passed to --max-pack-size used to count in MiB which was
inconsistent with the corresponding configuration variable as well as
other command arguments which are defined to count in bytes with an
optional unit suffix.  This brings --max-pack-size in line with the
rest of Git.

Also, in order not to cause havoc with people used to the previous
megabyte scale, and because this is a sane thing to do anyway, a
minimum size of 1 MiB is enforced to avoid an explosion of pack files.

Adjust and extend test suite accordingly.

2fca19fbb5 fix multiple issues with t5300
First of all, trying to run 'git verify-pack' on packs  produced by
the tests using pack.packSizeLimit always failed.  After lots of digging
and head scratching, it turns out that the preceeding test simulating
a SHA1 collision did leave the repository quite confused, impacting
subsequent tests.

So let's move that destructive test last, and add tests to run
verify-pack on the output from those packSizeLimit tests to catch such
goofage.

Finally, group those packSizeLimit tests together.

6e180cdcec Make sure objects/pack exists before creating a new pack
In a repository created with git older than f49fb35 (git-init-db: create
"pack" subdirectory under objects, 2005-06-27), objects/pack/ directory is
not created upon initialization.  It was Ok because subdirectories are
created as needed inside directories init-db creates, and back then,
packfiles were recent invention.

After the said commit, new codepaths started relying on the presense of
objects/pack/ directory in the repository.  This was exacerbated with
8b4eb6b (Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs,
2008-09-22) that moved the location temporary pack files are created from
objects/ directory to objects/pack/ directory, because moving temporary to
the final location was done carefully with lazy leading directory creation.

Many packfile related operations in such an old repository can fail
mysteriously because of this.

This commit introduces two helper functions to make things work better.

 - odb_mkstemp() is a specialized version of mkstemp() to refactor the
   code and teach it to create leading directories as needed;

 - odb_pack_keep() refactors the code to create a ".keep" file while
   create leading directories as needed.

"git pack-objects" has the option --max-pack-size to limit the file
size of the packs to a certain amount of bytes.  On platforms where
the pack file size is limited by filesystem constraints, it is easy
to forget this option, and this option does not exist for "git gc"
to begin with.

So introduce a config variable to set the default maximum, but make
this overrideable by the command line.

41ac414ea2 Sane use of test_expect_failure
Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision.  Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:

    test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
	setup1 &&
        setup2 &&
        setup3 &&
        what is to be tested
    '

And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests.  Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test.  The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.

This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:

    test_expect_success 'test title' '
	setup1 &&
        setup2 &&
        setup3 &&
        ! this command should fail
    '

test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass.  So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:

    test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
        rm -f bar &&
        git foo &&
        test -f bar
    '

This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

d93f7c1817 t5300-pack-object.sh: portability issue using /usr/bin/stat
In the test 'compare delta flavors', /usr/bin/stat is used to get file size.
This isn't portable.  There already is a dependency on Perl, use its '-s'
operator to get the file size.

8685da4256 don't ever allow SHA1 collisions to exist by fetching a pack
Waaaaaaay back Git was considered to be secure as it never overwrote
an object it already had.  This was ensured by always unpacking the
packfile received over the network (both in fetch and receive-pack)
and our already existing logic to not create a loose object for an
object we already have.

Lately however we keep "large-ish" packfiles on both fetch and push
by running them through index-pack instead of unpack-objects.  This
would let an attacker perform a birthday attack.

How?  Assume the attacker knows a SHA-1 that has two different
data streams.  He knows the client is likely to have the "good"
one.  So he sends the "evil" variant to the other end as part of
a "large-ish" packfile.  The recipient keeps that packfile, and
indexes it.  Now since this is a birthday attack there is a SHA-1
collision; two objects exist in the repository with the same SHA-1.
They have *very* different data streams.  One of them is "evil".

Currently the poor recipient cannot tell the two objects apart,
short of by examining the timestamp of the packfiles.  But lets
say the recipient repacks before he realizes he's been attacked.
We may wind up packing the "evil" version of the object, and deleting
the "good" one.  This is made *even more likely* by Junio's recent
rearrange_packed_git patch (b867092f).

It is extremely unlikely for a SHA1 collisions to occur, but if it
ever happens with a remote (hence untrusted) object we simply must
not let the fetch succeed.

Normally received packs should not contain objects we already have.
But when they do we must ensure duplicated objects with the same SHA1
actually contain the same data.

ac527b0b7c [PATCH] add test for OFS_DELTA objects
Make sure pack-objects with --delta-base-offset works fine, and that
it actually produces smaller packs as expected.

82868f72b5 [PATCH] fix t5300-pack-object.sh
The 'use packed deltified objects' test was flawed as it failed to
remove the pack and index from the previous test, effectively preventing
the desired pack from being exercised as objects could be found in that
other pack instead.

5c94f87e6b use 'init' instead of 'init-db' for shipped docs and tools
While 'init-db' still is and probably will always remain a valid git
command for obvious backward compatibility reasons, it would be a good
idea to move shipped tools and docs to using 'init' instead.
