Because fast-import.c::tree_content_remove does not check for the empty
path, it is not possible to move the root tree to a subdirectory.
Instead the error "Path not in branch" is produced (note the double
space where the empty path has been inserted).
Fix this by explicitly checking for the empty path and handling it.

Commit 178e1de (fast-import: don't allow 'ls' of path with empty
components, 2012-03-09) restricted paths which:
. contain an empty directory component (e.g. foo//bar is invalid),
. end with a directory separator (e.g. foo/ is invalid),
. start with a directory separator (e.g. /foo is invalid).
However, the implementation also caught the empty path, which should
represent the root tree. Relax this restriction so that the empty path
is explicitly allowed and refers to the root tree.

When given an empty path, fast-import sometimes reports "missing"

GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS defines PERL_PATH to be used in the test suite. Only a

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.

The syntax for the use of mark references in fast-import
demands either a SP (space) or LF (end-of-line) after
a mark reference. Fast-import does not complain when garbage
appears after a mark reference in some cases.
Factor out parsing of mark references and complain if
errant characters are found. Also be a little more careful
when parsing "inline" and SHA1s, complaining if extra
characters appear or if the form of the dataref is unrecognized.
Buggy input can cause fast-import to produce the wrong output,
silently, without error. This makes it difficult to track
down buggy generators of fast-import streams. An example is
seen in the last line of this commit command:
commit refs/heads/S2
committer Name <name@example.com> 1112912893 -0400
data <<COMMIT
commit message
COMMIT
from :1M 100644 :103 hello.c
It is missing a newline and should be:
[...]
from :1
M 100644 :103 hello.c
What fast-import does is to produce a commit with the same
contents for hello.c as in refs/heads/S2^. What the buggy
program was expecting was the contents of blob :103. While
the resulting commit graph looked correct, the contents in
some commits were wrong.

* commit 'refs/pull-request-tags/jn/maint-fast-import-empty-ls':
fast-import: don't allow 'ls' of path with empty components
fast-import: leakfix for 'ls' of dirty trees
As the fast-import manual explains:
The value of <path> must be in canonical form. That is it must
not:
. contain an empty directory component (e.g. foo//bar is invalid),
. end with a directory separator (e.g. foo/ is invalid),
. start with a directory separator (e.g. /foo is invalid),
Unfortunately the "ls" command accepts these invalid syntaxes and
responds by declaring that the indicated path is missing. This is too
subtle and causes importers to silently misbehave; better to error out
so the operator knows what's happening.
The C, R, and M commands already error out for such paths.

To produce deltas for tree objects fast-import tracks two versions
of tree's entries - base and current one. Base version stands both
for a delta base of this tree, and for a entry inside a delta base
of a parent tree. So care should be taken to keep it in sync.
tree_content_set cuts away a whole subtree and replaces it with a
new one (or NULL for lazy load of a tree with known sha1). It
keeps a base sha1 for this subtree (needed for parent tree). And
here is the problem, 'subtree' tree root doesn't have the implied
base version entries.
Adjusting the subtree to include them would mean a deep rewrite of
subtree. Invalidating the subtree base version would mean recursive
invalidation of parents' base versions. So just mark this tree as
do-not-delta me. Abuse setuid bit for this purpose.
tree_content_replace is the same as tree_content_set except that is
is used to replace the root, so just clearing base sha1 here (instead
of setting the bit) is fine.

fast-import is able to write imported tree objects in delta format.
It holds a tree structure in memory where each tree entry may have
a delta base sha1 assigned. When delta base data is needed it is
reconstructed from this in-memory structure. Though sometimes the
delta base data doesn't match the delta base sha1 so wrong or even
corrupt pack is produced.
Add a small test that produces a corrupt pack. It uses just tree
copy and file modification commands aside from the very basic commit
and blob commands.

The documentation declares following identity format:

where name is any string without LF and LT characters.
But fast-import just accepts any string up to first GT
instead of checking the whole format, and moreover just
writes it as is to the commit object.
git-fsck checks for [^<\n]* <[^<>\n]*> format. Note that the
space is mandatory. And the space quirk is already handled via
extending the string to the left when needed.
Modify fast-import input identity format to a slightly stricter
one - deny LF, LT and GT in both <name> and <email>. And check
for it.

currently, but soon fsck check will be adjusted likewise.

fast-import format declares 'committer_name SP' to be optional in
'committer_name SP LT email GT'. But for a (commit) object SP is
obligatory while zero length committer_name is ok. git-fsck checks
that SP is present, so fast-import must prepend it if the name SP
part is omitted. It doesn't do so and thus for "LT email GT" ident
it writes a bad object.
Name cannot contain LT or GT, ident always comes after SP in fast-import.
So if ident starts with LT reuse the SP as if a valid 'SP LT email GT'
ident was passed.
This fixes a ident parsing bug for a well-formed fast-import input.

If the new --done command line flag was passed on the command line
(or a "feature done" declaration included at the start of the stream),
make the 'done' command mandatory. So "git fast-import --done"'s
input format will be prefix-free, making errors easier to detect when
they show up as early termination at some convenient time of the
upstream of a pipe writing to fast-import.
Another possible application of the 'done' command would to be allow a
fast-import stream that is only a small part of a larger encapsulating
stream to be easily parsed, leaving the file offset after the "done\n"
so the other application can pick up from there. This patch does not
teach fast-import to do that --- fast-import still uses buffered input

Lazy fast-import frontend authors that want to rely on the backend to
keep track of the content of the imported trees _almost_ have what
they need in the 'cat-blob' command (v1.7.4-rc0~30^2~3, 2010-11-28).
But it is not quite enough, since
(1) cat-blob can be used to retrieve the content of files, but
not their mode, and
(2) using cat-blob requires the frontend to keep track of a name
(mark number or object id) for each blob to be retrieved
Introduce an 'ls' command to complement cat-blob and take care of the
remaining needs. The 'ls' command finds what is at a given path
within a given tree-ish (tag, commit, or tree):
'ls' SP <dataref> SP <path> LF
or in fast-import's active commit:
'ls' SP <path> LF
The response is a single line sent through the cat-blob channel,
imitating ls-tree output. So for example:
FE> ls :1 Documentation
gfi> 040000 tree 9e6c2b599341d28a2a375f8207507e0a2a627fe9 Documentation
FE> ls 9e6c2b599341d28a2a375f8207507e0a2a627fe9 git-fast-import.txt
gfi> 100644 blob 4f92954396e3f0f97e75b6838a5635b583708870 git-fast-import.txt
FE> ls :1 RelNotes
gfi> 120000 blob b942e49944 RelNotes
FE> cat-blob b942e49944
gfi> b942e49944 blob 32
gfi> Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.4.txt
The most interesting parts of the reply are the first word, which is
a 6-digit octal mode (regular file, executable, symlink, directory,
or submodule), and the part from the second space to the tab, which is
a <dataref> that can be used in later cat-blob, ls, and filemodify (M)
commands to refer to the content (blob, tree, or commit) at that path.
If there is nothing there, the response is "missing some/path".
The intent is for this command to be used to read files from the
active commit, so a frontend can apply patches to them, and to copy
files and directories from previous revisions.
For example, proposed updates to svn-fe use this command in place of
its internal representation of the repository directory structure.
This simplifies the frontend a great deal and means support for
resuming an import in a separate fast-import run (i.e., incremental
import) is basically free.

Normal git processes do not allow one to build a tree with an empty
subtree entry without trying hard at it. This is in keeping with the
general UI philosophy: git tracks content, not empty directories.
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (2010-06-30) changed that by making it easy to include
an empty subtree in fast-import's active commit:
M 040000 4b825dc642 subdir
One can trigger this by reading an empty tree (for example, the tree
corresponding to an empty root commit) and trying to move it to a
subtree. It is better and more closely analogous to 'git read-tree
--prefix' to treat such commands as requests to remove the subtree.

When a frontend uses a marks file to ensure its state persists between
runs, it may represent "clean slate" when bootstrapping with "no marks
yet". In such a case, feeding the last state with --import-marks and
saving the state after the current run with --export-marks would be a
natural thing to do.
The --import-marks option however errors out when the specified marks file
doesn't exist; this makes bootstrapping a bit difficult. The location of
the marks file becomes backend-dependent when --relative-marks is in
effect, and the frontend cannot check for the existence of the file in
such a case.
The --import-marks-if-exists option does the same thing as --import-marks
but does not flag an error if the named file does not exist yet to help
these frontends.

dd is a thin wrapper around read(2). As open group Issue 7 explains:
It shall read the input one block at a time, using the specified
input block size; it shall then process the block of data
actually returned, which could be smaller than the requested
block size.
Any short read --- for example from a pipe whose capacity cannot fill
a block --- results in that block being truncated. As a result, the
first cat-blob test (9300.114) fails on Mac OS X, where the pipe
capacity is around 8 KiB.
Fix the test by using a block size of 1. Each read will block until
the next byte of input is available.
It would be even nicer to use head -c which expresses the intention
more clearly. Alas, IRIX "head" does not support the -c option.

index, any new blobs will not be accessible using standard git tools.
So introduce a new way to access them: a "cat-blob" command in the
command stream requests for fast-import to print a blob to stdout or a
file descriptor specified by the argument to --cat-blob-fd. The value
for cat-blob-fd cannot be specified in the stream because that would
be a layering violation: the decision of where to direct a stream has
to be made when fast-import is started anyway, so we might as well
make the stream format is independent of that detail.
Output uses the same format as "git cat-file --batch".
Thanks to Sverre Rabbelier and Sam Vilain for guidance in designing
the protocol.

Check the result from strtoul to avoid accepting arguments like
--depth=-1 and --active-branches=foo,bar,baz.
