452320f1f5 test-lib: add --verbose-log option
The "--verbose" option redirects output from arbitrary
test commands to stdout. This is useful for examining the
output manually, like:

  ./t5547-push-quarantine.sh -v | less

But it also means that the output is intermingled with the
TAP directives, which can confuse a TAP parser like "prove".
This has always been a potential problem, but became an
issue recently when one test happened to output the word
"ok" on a line by itself, which prove interprets as a test
success:

  $ prove t5547-push-quarantine.sh :: -v
  t5547-push-quarantine.sh .. 1/? To dest.git
   * [new branch]      HEAD -> master
  To dest.git
   ! [remote rejected] reject -> reject (pre-receive hook declined)
  error: failed to push some refs to 'dest.git'
  fatal: git cat-file d08c8eba97f4e683ece08654c7c8d2ba0c03b129: bad file

                  Bad plan.  You planned 4 tests but ran 5.
  Files=1, Tests=5,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.01 usr +  0.01 sys =  0.02 CPU)
  Result: FAIL

One answer is "if it hurts, don't do it", but that's not
quite the whole story. The Travis tests use "--verbose
--tee" so that they can get the benefit of prove's parallel
options, along with a verbose log in case there is a
failure. We just need the verbose output to go to the log,
but keep stdout clean.

Getting this right turns out to be surprisingly difficult.
Here's the progression of alternatives I considered:

 1. Add an option to write verbose output to stderr. This is
    hard to capture, though, because we want each test to
    have its own log (because they're all run in parallel
    and the jumbled output would be useless).

 2. Add an option to write verbose output to a file in
    test-results. This works, but the log is missing all of
    the non-verbose output, which gives context.

 3. Like (2), but teach say_color() to additionally output
    to the log. This mostly works, but misses any output
    that happens outside of the say() functions (which isn't
    a lot, but is a potential maintenance headache).

 4. Like (2), but make the log file the same as the "--tee"
    file. That almost works, but now we have two processes
    opening the same file. That gives us two separate
    descriptors, each with their own idea of the current
    position. They'll each start writing at offset 0, and
    overwrite each other's data.

 5. Like (4), but in each case open the file for appending.
    That atomically positions each write at the end of the
    file.

    It's possible we may still get sheared writes between
    the two processes, but this is already the case when
    writing to stdout. It's not a problem in practice
    because the test harness generally waits for snippets to
    finish before writing the TAP output.

    We can ignore buffering issues with tee, because POSIX
    mandates that it does not buffer. Likewise, POSIX
    specifies "tee -a", so it should be available
    everywhere.

This patch implements option (5), which seems to work well
in practice.

925bdc928e test-lib: handle TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY with spaces
We are careful in test_done to handle a results directory
with a space in it, but the "--tee" code path does not.
Doing:

  export TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY='/tmp/path with spaces'
  ./t000-init.sh --tee

results in errors. Let's consistently double-quote our path
variables so that this works.

76e368c378 t3700: fix broken test under !SANITY
An "add --chmod=+x" test recently added by 610d55af0f ("add: modify
already added files when --chmod is given", 2016-09-14) used "xfoo3"
as a test file.  The paths xfoo[1-3] were used by earlier tests for
symbolic links but they were expected to have been removed by the
time the execution reached this new test.

The removal with "git reset --hard" however happened in a pair of
earlier tests, both of which are protected by POSIXPERM,SANITY
prerequisites.  Platforms and test environments that lacked these
would have seen xfoo3 as a leftover symbolic link that points at
somewhere else at this point of the sequence, and the chmod test
would have given a wrong result.

e9451782cf avoid pointer arithmetic involving NULL in FLEX_ALLOC_MEM
Calculating offsets involving a NULL pointer is undefined.  It works in
practice (for now?), but we should not rely on it.  Allocate first and
then simply refer to the flexible array member by its name instead of
performing pointer arithmetic up front.  The resulting code is slightly
shorter, easier to read and doesn't rely on undefined behaviour.

NB: The cast to a (non-const) void pointer is necessary to keep support
for flexible array members declared as const.

5827a03545 fetch: use "quick" has_sha1_file for tag following
When we auto-follow tags in a fetch, we look at all of the
tags advertised by the remote and fetch ones where we don't
already have the tag, but we do have the object it peels to.
This involves a lot of calls to has_sha1_file(), some of
which we can reasonably expect to fail. Since 45e8a74
(has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up,
2013-08-30), this may cause many calls to
reprepare_packed_git(), which is potentially expensive.

This has gone unnoticed for several years because it
requires a fairly unique setup to matter:

  1. You need to have a lot of packs on the client side to
     make reprepare_packed_git() expensive (the most
     expensive part is finding duplicates in an unsorted
     list, which is currently quadratic).

  2. You need a large number of tag refs on the server side
     that are candidates for auto-following (i.e., that the
     client doesn't have). Each one triggers a re-read of
     the pack directory.

  3. Under normal circumstances, the client would
     auto-follow those tags and after one large fetch, (2)
     would no longer be true. But if those tags point to
     history which is disconnected from what the client
     otherwise fetches, then it will never auto-follow, and
     those candidates will impact it on every fetch.

So when all three are true, each fetch pays an extra
O(nr_tags * nr_packs^2) cost, mostly in string comparisons
on the pack names. This was exacerbated by 47bf4b0
(prepare_packed_git_one: refactor duplicate-pack check,
2014-06-30) which uses a slightly more expensive string
check, under the assumption that the duplicate check doesn't
happen very often (and it shouldn't; the real problem here
is how often we are calling reprepare_packed_git()).

This patch teaches fetch to use HAS_SHA1_QUICK to sacrifice
accuracy for speed, in cases where we might be racy with a
simultaneous repack. This is similar to the fix in 0eeb077
(index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory,
2015-06-09). As with that case, it's OK for has_sha1_file()
occasionally say "no I don't have it" when we do, because
the worst case is not a corruption, but simply that we may
fail to auto-follow a tag that points to it.

Here are results from the included perf script, which sets
up a situation similar to the one described above:

Test            HEAD^               HEAD
----------------------------------------------------------
5550.4: fetch   11.21(10.42+0.78)   0.08(0.04+0.02) -99.3%

e3fdbcc8e1 parse_mailboxes: accept extra text after <...> address
The test introduced in this commit succeeds without the patch to Git.pm
if Mail::Address is installed, but fails otherwise because our in-house
parser does not accept any text after the email address. They succeed
both with and without Mail::Address after this commit.

Mail::Address accepts extra text and considers it as part of the name,
iff the address is surrounded with <...>. The implementation mimics
this behavior as closely as possible.

This mostly restores the behavior we had before b1c8a11 (send-email:
allow multiple emails using --cc, --to and --bcc, 2015-06-30), but we
keep the possibility to handle comma-separated lists.

4f21454b55 merge-base: handle --fork-point without reflog
The --fork-point option looks in the reflog to try to find
where a derived branch forked from a base branch. However,
if the reflog for the base branch is totally empty (as it
commonly is right after cloning, which does not write a
reflog entry), then our for_each_reflog call will not find
any entries, and we will come up with no merge base, even
though there may be one with the current tip of the base.

We can fix this by just adding the current tip to
our list of collected entries.

a94bb68397 use strbuf_add_unique_abbrev() for adding short hashes, part 3
Call strbuf_add_unique_abbrev() to add abbreviated hashes to strbufs
instead of taking detours through find_unique_abbrev() and its static
buffer.  This is shorter in most cases and a bit more efficient.

The changes here are not easily handled by a semantic patch because
they involve removing temporary variables and deconstructing format
strings for strbuf_addf().

e8c42cb9ce files_read_raw_ref: prevent infinite retry loops in general
Limit the number of retries to 3. That should be adequate to
prevent any races, while preventing the possibility of
infinite loops if the logic fails to handle any other
possible error modes correctly.

After the fix in the previous commit, there's no known way
to trigger an infinite loop, but I did manually verify that
this fixes the test in that commit even when the code change
is not applied.

3f7bd767ed files_read_raw_ref: avoid infinite loop on broken symlinks
Our ref resolution first runs lstat() on any path we try to
look up, because we want to treat symlinks specially (by
resolving them manually and considering them symrefs). But
if the results of `readlink` do _not_ look like a ref, we
fall through to treating it like a normal file, and just
read the contents of the linked path.

Since fcb7c76 (resolve_ref_unsafe(): close race condition
reading loose refs, 2013-06-19), that "normal file" code
path will stat() the file and if we see ENOENT, will jump
back to the lstat(), thinking we've seen inconsistent
results between the two calls. But for a symbolic ref, this
isn't a race: the lstat() found the symlink, and the stat()
is looking at the path it points to. We end up in an
infinite loop calling lstat() and stat().

We can fix this by avoiding the retry-on-inconsistent jump
when we know that we found a symlink. While we're at it,
let's add a comment explaining why the symlink case gets to
this code in the first place; without that, it is not
obvious that the correct solution isn't to avoid the stat()
code path entirely.

22d3b8de1b clone: detect errors in normalize_path_copy
When we are copying the alternates from the source
repository, if we find a relative path that is too deep for
the source (e.g., "../../../objects" from "/repo.git/objects"),
then normalize_path_copy will report an error and leave
trash in the buffer, which we will add to our new alternates
file. Instead, let's detect the error, print a warning, and
skip copying that alternate.

There's no need to die. The relative path is probably just
broken cruft in the source repo. If it turns out to have
been important for accessing some objects, we rely on other
parts of the clone to detect that, just as they would with a
missing object in the source repo itself (though note that
clones with "-s" are inherently local, which may do fewer
object-quality checks in the first place).

7431596ab1 git-commit.txt: clarify --patch mode with pathspec
How pathspec is used, with and without --interactive/--patch, is
different. But this is not clear from the document. These changes hint
the user to keep reading (to option #5) instead of stopping at #2 and
assuming --patch/--interactive behaves the same way.

And since all the options listed here always mention how the index is
involved (or not) in the final commit, add that bit for #5 as well. This
"on top of the index" is implied when you head over git-add(1), but if
you just go straight to the "Interactive mode" and not read what git-add
is for, you may miss it.

5275c3081c http: http.emptyauth should allow empty (not just NULL) usernames
When using Kerberos authentication with newer versions of libcurl,
CURLOPT_USERPWD must be set to a value, even if it is an empty value.
The value is never sent to the server.  Previous versions of libcurl
did not require this variable to be set.  One way that some users
express the empty username/password is http://:@gitserver.example.com,
which http.emptyauth was designed to support.  Another, equivalent,
URL is http://@gitserver.example.com.  The latter leads to a username
of zero-length, rather than a NULL username, but CURLOPT_USERPWD still
needs to be set (if http.emptyauth is set).  Do so.

e94ce1394e ref-filter: strip format option after a field name only once while parsing
When parse_ref_filter_atom() iterates over a list of valid atoms to
check that a field name is one of them, it has to strip the optional
colon-separated format option suffix that might follow the field name.
However, it does so inside the loop, i.e. it performs the exact same
stripping over and over again.

Move stripping the format option suffix out of that loop, so it's only
performed once for each parsed field name.

353d84c537 coccicheck: make transformation for strbuf_addf(sb, "...") more precise
We can replace strbuf_addf() calls that just add a simple string with
calls to strbuf_addstr() to make the intent clearer.  We need to be
careful if that string contains printf format specifications like %%,
though, as a simple replacement would change the output.

Add checks to the semantic patch to make sure we only perform the
transformation if the second argument is a string constant (possibly
translated) that doesn't contain any percent signs.

d709f1fb9d diff_unique_abbrev(): document its assumption and limitation
This function is used to add "..." to displayed object names in
"diff --raw --abbrev[=<n>]" output.  It bases its behaviour on an
untold assumption that the abbreviation length requested by the
caller is "reasonble", i.e. most of the objects will abbreviate
within the requested length and the resulting length would never
exceed it by more than a few hexdigits (otherwise the resulting
columns would not align).  Explain that in a comment.

82b83da8d3 pretty: avoid adding reset for %C(auto) if output is empty
We emit an escape sequence for resetting color and attribute for
%C(auto) to make sure automatic coloring is displayed as intended.
Stop doing that if the output strbuf is empty, i.e. when %C(auto)
appears at the start of the format string, because then there is no
need for a reset and we save a few bytes in the output.
