8959555cee (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level
directory, 2022-03-02), adds a function to check for ownership of
repositories using a directory that is representative of it, and ways to
add exempt a specific repository from said check if needed, but that
check didn't account for owership of the gitdir, or (when used) the
gitfile that points to that gitdir.
An attacker could create a git repository in a directory that they can
write into but that is owned by the victim to work around the fix that
was introduced with CVE-2022-24765 to potentially run code as the
victim.
An example that could result in privilege escalation to root in *NIX would
be to set a repository in a shared tmp directory by doing (for example):
$ git -C /tmp init
To avoid that, extend the ensure_valid_ownership function to be able to
check for all three paths.
This will have the side effect of tripling the number of stat() calls
when a repository is detected, but the effect is expected to be likely
minimal, as it is done only once during the directory walk in which Git
looks for a repository.
Additionally make sure to resolve the gitfile (if one was used) to find
the relevant gitdir for checking.
While at it change the message printed on failure so it is clear we are
referring to the repository by its worktree (or gitdir if it is bare) and
not to a specific directory.

In asciidoc's HTML output of the "gitrevisions" and "git-rev-parse"
documentation, the header:
The ... (three-dot) Symmetric Difference Notation
is rendered using "&8230;", a horizontal ellipsis. This is visually
ugly, but also hard to search for or cut-and-paste. We really mean three
ascii dots (0x2e) here, so let's make sure it renders as such.
The simplest way to do that is just escaping the leading dot, as the
instances in the rest of the section do. Arguably this should all be
converted to use backticks, which would let us drop the quoting here and
elsewhere (e.g., {carat}). But that does change the rendering slightly.
So let's fix the bug first, and we can decide on migrating the whole
section separately.
Note that this produces an empty doc-diff of the manpages. Curiously,
asciidoc produces the same ellipsis entity in the XML file, but docbook
then converts it back into three literal dots for the roff output! So
the roff manpages have been correct all along (which may be a reason
nobody noticed this until now).

With the new `detailed` parameter, a new mode can be triggered when
displaying the merge messages: The `detailed` mode prints NUL-delimited
fields of the following form:
<path-count> NUL <path>... NUL <conflict-type> NUL <message>
The `<path-count>` field determines how many `<path>` fields there are.
The intention of this mode is to support server-side operations, where
worktree-less merges can lead to conflicts and depending on the type
and/or path count, the caller might know how to handle said conflict.

It is all fine and dandy for a regular Git command that is intended to
be run interactively to produce a bunch of messages upon an error.
However, in `merge-ort`'s case, we want to call the command e.g. in
server-side software, where the actual error messages are not quite as
interesting as machine-readable, immutable terms that describe the exact
nature of any given conflict.
With this patch, the `merge-ort` machinery records the exact type (as
specified via an `enum` value) as well as the involved path(s) together
with the conflict's message.

To prepare for using the `merge-ort` machinery in server operations, we
cannot simply produce a free-form string that combines a variable-length
list of messages.
Instead, we need to list them one by one. The natural fit for this is a
`string_list`.
We will subsequently add even more information in the `util` attribute
of the string list items.

There was one case in merge-ort that would call path_msg() multiple
times for the same logical conflict, and it was in order to give advice
about how to resolve a conflict. This advice does not make as much
sense with remerge-diff, or with merge-tree being invoked by a GitHub
GUI for resolution of messages, and is making it hard to provide
which-logical-conflict-affects-which-paths information in a machine
parseable way to a higher level caller of merge-tree. Let's simply
remove this informational message.

When running `git merge-tree --write-tree`, we previously would only
return an exit status reflecting the cleanness of a merge, and print out
the toplevel tree of the resulting merge. Merges also have
informational messages, such as:
* "Auto-merging <PATH>"
* "CONFLICT (content): ..."
* "CONFLICT (file/directory)"
* etc.
In fact, when non-content conflicts occur (such as file/directory,
modify/delete, add/add with differing modes, rename/rename (1to2),
etc.), these informational messages may be the only notification the
user gets since these conflicts are not representable in the contents
of the file.
Add a --[no-]messages option so that callers can request these messages
be included at the end of the output. Include such messages by default
when there are conflicts, and omit them by default when the merge is
clean.

This patch includes no new code; it simply moves a bunch of lines into a
new function. As such, there are no functional changes. This is just a
preparatory step to allow the printed messages to be handled differently

This adds the ability to perform real merges rather than just trivial
merges (meaning handling three way content merges, recursive ancestor
consolidation, renames, proper directory/file conflict handling, and so
forth). However, unlike `git merge`, the working tree and index are
left alone and no branch is updated.
The only output is:
- the toplevel resulting tree printed on stdout
- exit status of 0 (clean), 1 (conflicts present), anything else
(merge could not be performed; unknown if clean or conflicted)
This output is meant to be used by some higher level script, perhaps in
a sequence of steps like this:
NEWTREE=$(git merge-tree --write-tree $BRANCH1 $BRANCH2)
test $? -eq 0 || die "There were conflicts..."
NEWCOMMIT=$(git commit-tree $NEWTREE -p $BRANCH1 -p $BRANCH2)
git update-ref $BRANCH1 $NEWCOMMIT
Note that higher level scripts may also want to access the
conflict/warning messages normally output during a merge, or have quick
access to a list of files with conflicts. That is not available in this
preliminary implementation, but subsequent commits will add that
ability (meaning that NEWTREE would be a lot more than a tree in the
case of conflicts).
This also marks the traditional trivial merge of merge-tree as
deprecated. The trivial merge not only had limited applicability, the
output format was also difficult to work with (and its format
undocumented), and will generally be less performant than real merges.
