The init code predates strbufs, and uses PATH_MAX-sized
buffers along with many manual checks on intermediate sizes
(some of which make magic assumptions, such as that init
will not create a path inside .git longer than 50
characters).
We can simplify this greatly by using strbufs, which drops
some hard-to-verify strcpy calls in favor of git_path_buf.
While we're in the area, let's also convert existing calls
to git_path to the safer git_path_buf (our existing calls
were passed to pretty tame functions, and so were not a
problem, but it's easy to be consistent and safe here).
Note that we had an explicit test that "git init" rejects
long template directories. This comes from 32d1776 (init: Do
not segfault on big GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable,
2009-04-18). We can drop the test_must_fail here, as we now
accept this and need only confirm that we don't segfault,
which was the original point of the test.

When we are initializing a .git directory, we may call
probe_utf8_pathname_composition to detect utf8 mangling. We
pass in a path buffer for it to use, and it blindly
strcpy()s into it, not knowing whether the buffer is large
enough to hold the result or not.
In practice this isn't a big deal, because the buffer we
pass in already contains "$GIT_DIR/config", and we append
only a few extra bytes to it. But we can easily do the right
thing just by calling git_path_buf ourselves. Technically
this results in a different pathname (before we appended our
utf8 characters to the "config" path, and now they get their
own files in $GIT_DIR), but that should not matter for our
purposes.

We sometimes sprintf into fixed-size buffers when we know
that the buffer is large enough to fit the input (either
because it's a constant, or because it's numeric input that
is bounded in size). Likewise with strcpy of constant
strings.
However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and
strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to
cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's
use xsnprintf instead, which communicates to a reader that
we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in
case we do).

We avoid setting core.worktree when the repository location is the
".git" directory directly at the top level of the working tree, but
the code misdetected the case in which the working tree is at the
root level of the filesystem (which arguably is a silly thing to
do, but still valid).
* jk/init-core-worktree-at-root:
init: don't set core.worktree when initializing /.git
If you create a git repository in the root directory with
"git init /", we erroneously write a core.worktree entry.
This isn't _wrong_, in the sense that it's OK to set
core.worktree when we don't need to. But it is unnecessarily
surprising if you later move the .git directory to another
path (which usually moves the relative working tree, but is
foiled if there is an explicit worktree set).
The problem is that we check whether core.worktree is
necessary by seeing if we can make the git_dir by
concatenating "/.git" onto the working tree. That would lead
to "//.git" in this instance, but we actually have "/.git"
(without the doubled slash).
We can fix this by special-casing the root directory. I also
split the logic out into its own function to make the
conditional a bit more readable (and used skip_prefix, which
I think makes it a little more obvious what is going on).
No tests, as we would need to be able to write to "/" to do
so. I did manually confirm that:
sudo git init /
cd /
git rev-parse --show-toplevel
git config core.worktree
still finds the top-level correctly (as "/"), and does not
set any core.worktree variable.

The function sometimes returns a newly allocated string and
sometimes returns a borrowed string, the latter of which the callers
must not free(). The existing callers all assume that the return
value belongs to the callee and most of them copy it with strdup()
when they want to keep it around. They end up leaking the returned
copy when the callee returned a new string because they cannot tell
if they should free it.
Change the contract between the callers and system_path() to make
the returned string owned by the callers; they are responsible for
freeing it when done, but they do not have to make their own copy to
store it away.
Adjust the callers to make sure they do not leak the returned string
once they are done, but do not bother freeing it just before dying,
exiting or exec'ing other program to avoid unnecessary churn.

Some file systems do not support the executable bit:
a) The user executable bit is always 0, e.g. VFAT mounted with
-onoexec
b) The user executable bit is always 1, e.g. cifs mounted with
-ofile_mode=0755
c) There are system where user executable bit is 1 even if it
should be 0 like b), but the file mode can be maintained
locally. chmod -x changes the file mode from 0766 to 0666,
until the file system is unmounted and remounted and the file
mode is 0766 again.
This been observed when a Windows machine with NTFS exports a share to
Mac OS X via smb or afp.
Case a) and b) are handled by the current code. Case c) qualifies
as "non trustable executable bit" and core.filemode should be false,
but this is currently not done.
Detect when ".git/config" has the user executable bit set after
creat(".git/config", 0666) and set core.filemode to false. Because
the permission bits on the file is whatever the end user already had
when we are asked to reinitialise an existing repository, and do not
give any information on the filesystem behaviour, do this only when
running "git init" to create a new repository.

Since time immemorial, the test of whether to set "core.filemode"
has been done by trying to toggle the u+x bit on $GIT_DIR/config,
which we know always exists, and then testing whether the change
"took". I find it somewhat odd to use the config file for this
test, but whatever.
The test code didn't set the u+x bit back to its original state
itself, instead relying on the subsequent call to git_config_set()
to re-write the config file with correct permissions.
But ever since
daa22c6f8d config: preserve config file permissions on edits (2014-05-06)
git_config_set() copies the permissions from the old config file to
the new one. This is a good change in and of itself, but it
invalidates the create_default_files()'s assumption, causing "git
init" to leave the executable bit set on $GIT_DIR/config.

Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.
Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".
As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.
The unicode decomposition causes many problems:
- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.
- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
consistency in general).
- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
readdir().
NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.
As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can
- wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and
- normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
precomposed form,
to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.
The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.
The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.
When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".
The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.

If we know we are creating a bare repository, we use setenv
to set the GIT_DIR directory to the current directory
(either where we already were, or one we created and chdir'd
into with "git init --bare <dir>").
However, with "git --bare init <dir>" (note the --bare as a
git wrapper option), the setup code actually sets GIT_DIR
for us, but it uses the wrong, original cwd when a directory
is given. Because our setenv does not use the overwrite
flag, it is ignored.
We need to set the overwrite flag, but only when we are
given a directory on the command line. That still allows:
GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare
to work. The behavior is changed for:
GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git
which used to create the repository in foo.git, but now will
use bar.git. This is more sane, as command line options
should generally override the environment.
