0e5bba53af add UNLEAK annotation for reducing leak false positives
It's a common pattern in git commands to allocate some
memory that should last for the lifetime of the program and
then not bother to free it, relying on the OS to throw it
away.

This keeps the code simple, and it's fast (we don't waste
time traversing structures or calling free at the end of the
program). But it also triggers warnings from memory-leak
checkers like valgrind or LSAN. They know that the memory
was still allocated at program exit, but they don't know
_when_ the leaked memory stopped being useful. If it was
early in the program, then it's probably a real and
important leak. But if it was used right up until program
exit, it's not an interesting leak and we'd like to suppress
it so that we can see the real leaks.

This patch introduces an UNLEAK() macro that lets us do so.
To understand its design, let's first look at some of the
alternatives.

Unfortunately the suppression systems offered by
leak-checking tools don't quite do what we want. A
leak-checker basically knows two things:

  1. Which blocks were allocated via malloc, and the
     callstack during the allocation.

  2. Which blocks were left un-freed at the end of the
     program (and which are unreachable, but more on that
     later).

Their suppressions work by mentioning the function or
callstack of a particular allocation, and marking it as OK
to leak.  So imagine you have code like this:

  int cmd_foo(...)
  {
	/* this allocates some memory */
	char *p = some_function();
	printf("%s", p);
	return 0;
  }

You can say "ignore allocations from some_function(),
they're not leaks". But that's not right. That function may
be called elsewhere, too, and we would potentially want to
know about those leaks.

So you can say "ignore the callstack when main calls
some_function".  That works, but your annotations are
brittle. In this case it's only two functions, but you can
imagine that the actual allocation is much deeper. If any of
the intermediate code changes, you have to update the
suppression.

What we _really_ want to say is that "the value assigned to
p at the end of the function is not a real leak". But
leak-checkers can't understand that; they don't know about
"p" in the first place.

However, we can do something a little bit tricky if we make
some assumptions about how leak-checkers work. They
generally don't just report all un-freed blocks. That would
report even globals which are still accessible when the
leak-check is run.  Instead they take some set of memory
(like BSS) as a root and mark it as "reachable". Then they
scan the reachable blocks for anything that looks like a
pointer to a malloc'd block, and consider that block
reachable. And then they scan those blocks, and so on,
transitively marking anything reachable from a global as
"not leaked" (or at least leaked in a different category).

So we can mark the value of "p" as reachable by putting it
into a variable with program lifetime. One way to do that is
to just mark "p" as static. But that actually affects the
run-time behavior if the function is called twice (you
aren't likely to call main() twice, but some of our cmd_*()
functions are called from other commands).

Instead, we can trick the leak-checker by putting the value
into _any_ reachable bytes. This patch keeps a global
linked-list of bytes copied from "unleaked" variables. That
list is reachable even at program exit, which confers
recursive reachability on whatever values we unleak.

In other words, you can do:

  int cmd_foo(...)
  {
	char *p = some_function();
	printf("%s", p);
	UNLEAK(p);
	return 0;
  }

to annotate "p" and suppress the leak report.

But wait, couldn't we just say "free(p)"? In this toy
example, yes. But UNLEAK()'s byte-copying strategy has
several advantages over actually freeing the memory:

  1. It's recursive across structures. In many cases our "p"
     is not just a pointer, but a complex struct whose
     fields may have been allocated by a sub-function. And
     in some cases (e.g., dir_struct) we don't even have a
     function which knows how to free all of the struct
     members.

     By marking the struct itself as reachable, that confers
     reachability on any pointers it contains (including those
     found in embedded structs, or reachable by walking
     heap blocks recursively.

  2. It works on cases where we're not sure if the value is
     allocated or not. For example:

       char *p = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : some_function();

     It's safe to use UNLEAK(p) here, because it's not
     freeing any memory. In the case that we're pointing to
     argv here, the reachability checker will just ignore
     our bytes.

  3. Likewise, it works even if the variable has _already_
     been freed. We're just copying the pointer bytes. If
     the block has been freed, the leak-checker will skip
     over those bytes as uninteresting.

  4. Because it's not actually freeing memory, you can
     UNLEAK() before we are finished accessing the variable.
     This is helpful in cases like this:

       char *p = some_function();
       return another_function(p);

     Writing this with free() requires:

       int ret;
       char *p = some_function();
       ret = another_function(p);
       free(p);
       return ret;

     But with unleak we can just write:

       char *p = some_function();
       UNLEAK(p);
       return another_function(p);

This patch adds the UNLEAK() macro and enables it
automatically when Git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak.  In
normal builds it's a noop, so we pay no runtime cost.

It also adds some UNLEAK() annotations to show off how the
feature works. On top of other recent leak fixes, these are
enough to get t0000 and t0001 to pass when compiled with
LSAN.

Note the case in commit.c which actually converts a
strbuf_release() into an UNLEAK. This code was already
non-leaky, but the free didn't do anything useful, since
we're exiting. Converting it to an annotation means that
non-leak-checking builds pay no runtime cost. The cost is
minimal enough that it's probably not worth going on a
crusade to convert these kinds of frees to UNLEAKS. I did it
here for consistency with the "sb" leak (though it would
have been equally correct to go the other way, and turn them
both into strbuf_release() calls).

fe6a01af8a add: free leaked pathspec after add_files_to_cache()
After run_diff_files, we throw away the rev_info struct,
including the pathspec that we copied into it, leaking the
memory. this is probably not a big deal in practice. We
usually only run this once per process, and the leak is
proportional to the pathspec list we're already holding in
memory.

But it's still a leak, and it pollutes leak-checker output,
making it harder to find important leaks.

5556808690 add, reset: ensure submodules can be added or reset
Commit aee9c7d65 (Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for
diff and status) introduced the ignore configuration option for
submodules so that configured submodules could be omitted from the
status and diff commands.  Because this flag is respected in the diff
machinery it has the unintended consequence of potentially prohibiting
users from adding or resetting a submodule, even when a path to the
submodule is explicitly given.

Ensure that submodules can be added or set, even if they are configured
to be ignored, by setting the `DIFF_OPT_OVERRIDE_SUBMODULE_CONFIG` diff
flag.

532139940c add: warn when adding an embedded repository
It's an easy mistake to add a repository inside another
repository, like:

  git clone $url
  git add .

The resulting entry is a gitlink, but there's no matching
.gitmodules entry. Trying to use "submodule init" (or clone
with --recursive) doesn't do anything useful. Prior to
v2.13, such an entry caused git-submodule to barf entirely.
In v2.13, the entry is considered "inactive" and quietly
ignored. Either way, no clone of your repository can do
anything useful with the gitlink without the user manually
adding the submodule config.

In most cases, the user probably meant to either add a real
submodule, or they forgot to put the embedded repository in
their .gitignore file.

Let's issue a warning when we see this case. There are a few
things to note:

  - the warning will go in the git-add porcelain; anybody
    wanting to do low-level manipulation of the index is
    welcome to create whatever funny states they want.

  - we detect the case by looking for a newly added gitlink;
    updates via "git add submodule" are perfectly reasonable,
    and this avoids us having to investigate .gitmodules
    entirely

  - there's a command-line option to suppress the warning.
    This is needed for git-submodule itself (which adds the
    entry before adding any submodule config), but also
    provides a mechanism for other scripts doing
    submodule-like things.

We could make this a hard error instead of a warning.
However, we do add lots of sub-repos in our test suite. It's
not _wrong_ to do so. It just creates a state where users
may be surprised. Pointing them in the right direction with
a gentle hint is probably the best option.

There is a config knob that can disable the (long) hint. But
I intentionally omitted a config knob to disable the warning
entirely. Whether the warning is sensible or not is
generally about context, not about the user's preferences.
If there's a tool or workflow that adds gitlinks without
matching .gitmodules, it should probably be taught about the
new command-line option, rather than blanket-disabling the
warning.

Since (ae8d08242 pathspec: pass directory indicator to

Since the stripping the trailing slash is no longer necessary, remove

out the logic which dies if a path decends into a submodule so that it
can still be used as a check after a pathspec struct has been
initialized.

bdab972153 submodule: add die_in_unpopulated_submodule function
Currently 'git add' is the only command which dies when launched from an
unpopulated submodule (the place-holder directory for a submodule which
hasn't been checked out).  This is triggered implicitly by passing the
PATHSPEC_STRIP_SUBMODULE_SLASH_EXPENSIVE flag to 'parse_pathspec()'.

Instead make this desire more explicit by creating a function
'die_in_unpopulated_submodule()' which dies if the provided 'prefix' has
a leading path component which matches a submodule in the the index.

b3e83cc752 hold_locked_index(): align error handling with hold_lockfile_for_update()
Callers of the hold_locked_index() function pass 0 when they want to
prepare to write a new version of the index file without wishing to
die or emit an error message when the request fails (e.g. somebody
else already held the lock), and pass 1 when they want the call to
die upon failure.

This option is called LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR by the underlying lockfile
API, and the hold_locked_index() function translates the paramter to
LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR when calling the hold_lock_file_for_update().

Replace these hardcoded '1' with LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR and stop
translating.  Callers other than the ones that are replaced with
this change pass '0' to the function; no behaviour change is
intended with this patch.

---

Among the callers of hold_locked_index() that passes 0:

 - diff.c::refresh_index_quietly() at the end of "git diff" is an
   opportunistic update; it leaks the lockfile structure but it is
   just before the program exits and nobody should care.

 - builtin/describe.c::cmd_describe(),
   builtin/commit.c::cmd_status(),
   sequencer.c::read_and_refresh_cache() are all opportunistic
   updates and they are OK.

 - builtin/update-index.c::cmd_update_index() takes a lock upfront
   but we may end up not needing to update the index (i.e. the
   entries may be fully up-to-date), in which case we do not need to
   issue an error upon failure to acquire the lock.  We do diagnose
   and die if we indeed need to update, so it is OK.

 - wt-status.c::require_clean_work_tree() IS BUGGY.  It asks
   silence, does not check the returned value.  Compare with
   callsites like cmd_describe() and cmd_status() to notice that it
   is wrong to call update_index_if_able() unconditionally.

The executable bit will not be detected (and therefore will not be

though the users may still wish to add files as executable for
compatibility with other users who _do_ have `core.filemode`
functionality.  For example, Windows users adding shell scripts may
wish to add them as executable for compatibility with users on
non-Windows.

Although this can be done with a plumbing command
(`git update-index --add --chmod=+x foo`), teaching the `git-add`
command allows users to set a file executable with a command that
they're already familiar with.

29abb33978 add: simplify -u/-A without pathspec
Since Git 2.0, "add -u" and "add -A" run from a subdirectory without
any pathspec mean "everything in the working tree" (before 2.0, they
were limited to the current directory).  The limiting to the current
directory was implemented by inserting "." to the command line when
the end user did not give us any pathspec.  At 2.0, we updated the
code to insert ":/" (instead of '.') to consider everything from the
top-level, by using a pathspec magic "top".

The call to parse_pathspec() using the command line arguments is,
however, made with PATHSPEC_PREFER_FULL option since 5a76aff1 (add:
convert to use parse_pathspec, 2013-07-14), which predates Git 2.0.
In retrospect, there was no need to turn "adding . to limit to the
directory" into "adding :/ to unlimit to everywhere" in Git 2.0;
instead we could just have done "if there is no pathspec on the
command line, just let it be".  The parse_pathspec() then would give
us a pathspec that matches everything and all is well.

Incidentally such a simplification also fixes a corner case bug that
stems from the fact that ":/" does not necessarily mean any magic.
A user would say "git --literal-pathspecs add -u :/" from the
command line when she has a directory ':' and wants to add
everything in it (and she knows that her :/ will be taken as
'everything under the sun' magic pathspec unless she disables the
magic with --literal-pathspecs).  The internal use of ':/' would
behave the same way as such an explicitly given ":/" when run with
"--literal-pathspecs", and will not add everything under the sun as
the code originally intended.

78cc1a540b Revert "diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a entries in diff"
This reverts commit d95d728aba.

It turns out that many other commands that need to interact with the
result of running diff-files and diff-index, e.g.  "git apply", "git
rm", etc., need to be adjusted to the new world order it brings in.
For example, it would break this sequence to correct a whitespace
breakage in the parts you changed:

	git add -N file
	git diff --cached file | git apply --cached --whitespace=fix
	git checkout file

In the old world order, "diff" showed a patch to modify an existing
empty file by adding its full contents, and "apply" updated the
index by modifying the existing empty blob (which is what an
Intent-to-Add entry records in the index) with that patch.

In the new world order, "diff" shows a patch to create a new file
with its full contents, but because "apply" thinks that the i-t-a
entry already exists in the index, it refused to accept a creation.

Adjusting "apply" to this new world order is easy, but we need to
assess the extent of the damage to the rest of the system the new
world order brought in before going forward and adjust them all,
after which we can resurrect the commit being reverted here.

Entries added by "git add -N" are reminder for the user so that they
don't forget to add them before committing. These entries appear in
the index even though they are not real. Their presence in the index
leads to a confusing "git status" like this:

    Changes not staged for commit:

If you do a "git commit", "foo" will not be included even though
"status" reports it as "to be committed". This patch changes the
output to become

    On branch master
    Changes not staged for commit:
            new file:   foo

    no changes added to commit

The two hunks in diff-lib.c adjust "diff-index" and "diff-files" so
that i-t-a entries appear as new files in diff-files and nothing in
diff-index.

Due to this change, diff-files may start to report "new files" for the
first time. "add -u" needs to be told about this or it will die in
denial, screaming "new files can't exist! Reality is wrong." Luckily,
it's the only one among run_diff_files() callers that needs fixing.

Now in the new world order, a hierarchy in the index that contain
i-t-a paths is written out as a tree object as if these i-t-a
entries do not exist, and comparing the index with such a tree
object that would result from writing out the hierarchy will result
in no difference.  Update a test in t2203 that expected the i-t-a
entries to appear as "added to the index" in the comparison to
instead expect no output.

An earlier change eec3e7e4 (cache-tree: invalidate i-t-a paths after
generating trees, 2012-12-16) becomes an unnecessary pessimization
in the new world order---a cache-tree in the index that corresponds
to a hierarchy with i-t-a paths can now be marked as valid and
record the object name of the tree that results from writing a tree
object out of that hierarchy, as it will compare equal to that tree.

Reverting the commit is left for the future, though, as it is purely
a performance issue and no longer affects correctness.

9c9b4f2f8b standardize usage info string format
This patch puts the usage info strings that were not already in docopt-
like format into docopt-like format, which will be a litle easier for
end users and a lot easier for translators. Changes include:

- Placing angle brackets around fill-in-the-blank parameters
- Putting dashes in multiword parameter names
- Adding spaces to [-f|--foobar] to make [-f | --foobar]
- Replacing <foobar>* with [<foobar>...]

1d31e5a2cd add: ignore only ignored files
"git add foo bar" adds neither foo nor bar when bar is ignored, but dies
to let the user recheck their command invocation. This becomes less
helpful when "git add foo.*" is subject to shell expansion and some of
the expanded files are ignored.

"git add --ignore-errors" is supposed to ignore errors when indexing
some files and adds the others. It does ignore errors from actual
indexing attempts, but does not ignore the error "file is ignored" as
outlined above. This is unexpected.

Change "git add foo bar" to add foo when bar is ignored, but issue
a warning and return a failure code as before the change.

That is, in the case of trying to add ignored files we now act the same
way (with or without "--ignore-errors") in which we act for more
severe indexing errors when "--ignore-errors" is specified.

d318027932 run-command: introduce CHILD_PROCESS_INIT
Most struct child_process variables are cleared using memset first after
declaration.  Provide a macro, CHILD_PROCESS_INIT, that can be used to
initialize them statically instead.  That's shorter, doesn't require a
function call and is slightly more readable (especially given that we
already have STRBUF_INIT, ARGV_ARRAY_INIT etc.).

c45a18e88f add: use struct argv_array in run_add_interactive()
run_add_interactive() in builtin/add.c manually computes array bounds
and allocates a static args array to build the add--interactive command
line, which is error-prone. Use the argv-array helper functions instead.

This helps reduce the number of match_pathspec_depth() call sites and
show how m_p_d() is used. And it usage is:

 - match against an index entry (ce_path_match or match_pathspec_depth
   in ls-files)

 - match against a dir_entry from read_directory (dir_path_match and
   match_pathspec_depth in clean.c, which will be converted later)

 - resolve-undo (rerere.c and ls-files.c)

After 4c7f1819 (make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), the
patch file to be edited during 'git add -e' receives all the color
codes.  This is because diffopt.use_color defaults to -1, which
causes want_color to now return 'auto'.

By explicitly setting use_color to 0, we can ensure the diff output
has no color codes in it.
