Earlier, we punted and simply assumed that we are in the top-level
directory of the project, and that there is no .git file but a .git/
directory so that we can read directly from .git/config.
However, that is not necessarily true. We may be in a subdirectory. Or
.git may be a gitfile. Or the environment variable GIT_DIR may be set.
To remedy this situation, we just refactored the way
setup_git_directory() discovers the .git/ directory, to make it
reusable, and more importantly, to leave all global variables and the
current working directory alone.
Let's discover the .git/ directory correctly in read_early_config() by
using that new function.
This fixes 4 known breakages in t7006.

When we want to get the list of modified files, we first
expand any user-provided pathspecs with "ls-files", and then
feed the resulting list of paths as arguments to
"diff-index" and "diff-files". If your pathspec expands into
a large number of paths, you may run into one of two
problems:
1. The OS may complain about the size of the argument
list, and refuse to run. For example:
$ (ulimit -s 128 && git add -p drivers)
Can't exec "git": Argument list too long at .../git-add--interactive line 177.
Died at .../git-add--interactive line 177.
That's on the linux.git repository, which has about 20K
files in the "drivers" directory (none of them modified
in this case). The "ulimit -s" trick is necessary to
show the problem on Linux even for such a gigantic set
of paths. Other operating systems have much smaller
limits (e.g., a real-world case was seen with only 5K
files on OS X).
2. Even when it does work, it's really slow. The pathspec
code is not optimized for huge numbers of paths. Here's
the same case without the ulimit:
$ time git add -p drivers
No changes.
real 0m16.559s
user 0m53.140s
sys 0m0.220s
We can improve this by skipping "ls-files" completely, and
just feeding the original pathspecs to the diff commands.
This solution was discussed in 2010:
http://public-inbox.org/git/20100105041438.GB12574@coredump.intra.peff.net/
but at the time the diff code's pathspecs were more
primitive than those used by ls-files (e.g., they did not
support globs). Making the change would have caused a
user-visible regression, so we didn't.
Since then, the pathspec code has been unified, and the diff
commands natively understand pathspecs like '*.c'.
This patch implements that solution. That skips the
argument-list limits, and the result runs much faster:
$ time git add -p drivers
No changes.
real 0m0.149s
user 0m0.116s
sys 0m0.080s
There are two new tests. The first just exercises the
globbing behavior to confirm that we are not causing a
regression there. The second checks the actual argument
behavior using GIT_TRACE. We _could_ do it with the "ulimit
-s" trick, as above. But that would mean the test could only
run where "ulimit -s" works. And tests of that sort are
expensive, because we have to come up with enough files to
actually bust the limit (we can't just shrink the "128" down
infinitely, since it is also the in-program stack size).
Finally, two caveats and possibilities for future work:
a. This fixes one argument-list expansion, but there may
be others. In fact, it's very likely that if you run
"git add -i" and select a large number of modified
files that the script would try to feed them all to a
single git command.
In practice this is probably fine. The real issue here
is that the argument list was growing with the _total_
number of files, not the number of modified or selected
files.
b. If the repository contains filenames with literal wildcard
characters (e.g., "foo*"), the original code expanded
them via "ls-files" and then fed those wildcard names
to "diff-index", which would have treated them as
wildcards. This was a bug, which is now fixed (though
unless you really go through some contortions with
":(literal)", it's likely that your original pathspec
would match whatever the accidentally-expanded wildcard
would anyway).
So this takes us one step closer to working correctly
with files whose names contain wildcard characters, but
it's likely that others remain (e.g., if "git add -i"
feeds the selected paths to "git add").

In our own .gitattributes file we have attributes such as:
*.[ch] whitespace=indent,trail,space
When querying for attributes we want to be able to ask for the exact
value, i.e.
git ls-files :(attr:whitespace=indent,trail,space)
should work, but the commas are used in the attr magic to introduce
the next attr, such that this query currently fails with
fatal: Invalid pathspec magic 'trail' in ':(attr:whitespace=indent,trail,space)'
This change allows escaping characters by a backslash, such that the query
git ls-files :(attr:whitespace=indent\,trail\,space)
will match all path that have the value "indent,trail,space" for the
whitespace attribute. To accomplish this, we need to modify two places.
First `parse_long_magic` needs to not stop early upon seeing a comma or
closing paren that is escaped. As a second step we need to remove any
escaping from the attr value.

In 4ac9006f83 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and
strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path())
pattern to use real_pathdup() directly.
The problem with this change is that real_path() calls
strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls
it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path()
causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent
and returns NULL instead.
The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect
the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died
with an appropriate error message).
Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the
die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(),
and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would
handle NULLs well.

The idea of the test case "git -p - core.pager is not used from
subdirectory" was to verify that the setup_git_directory() function had
not been called just to obtain the core.pager setting.
However, we are about to fix the early config machinery so that it
*does* work, without messing up the global state.
Once that is done, the core.pager setting *will* be used, even when
running from a subdirectory, and that is a Good Thing.
The intention of that test case, however, was to verify that the
setup_git_directory() function has not run, because it changes global
state such as the current working directory.
To keep that spirit, but fix the incorrect assumption, this patch
replaces that test case by a new one that verifies that the pager is
run in the subdirectory, i.e. that the current working directory has
not been changed at the time the pager is configured and launched, even
if the `rev-parse` command requires a .git/ directory and *will* change

The existing implementation of range_set_union does not correctly
reallocate memory, leading to a heap overflow when it attempts to union
more than 24 separate line ranges.
For struct range_set *out to grow correctly it must have out->nr set to
the current size of the buffer when it is passed to range_set_grow.
However, the existing implementation of range_set_union only updates
out->nr at the end of the function, meaning that it is always zero
before this. This results in range_set_grow never growing the buffer, as
well as some of the union logic itself being incorrect as !out->nr is
always true.
The reason why 24 is the limit is that the first allocation of size 1
ends up allocating a buffer of size 24 (due to the call to alloc_nr in
ALLOC_GROW). This goes some way to explain why this hasn't been
caught before.
Fix the problem by correctly updating out->nr after reallocating the
range_set. As this results in out->nr containing the same value as the
variable o, replace o with out->nr as well.
Finally, add a new test to help prevent the problem reoccurring in the
future. Thanks to Vegard Nossum for writing the test.

It's tempting to say:
./run v1.0.0 HEAD
to see how we've sped up Git over the years. Unfortunately,
this doesn't quite work because versions of Git prior to
v1.7.0 lack bin-wrappers, so our "run" script doesn't
correctly put them in the PATH.
Worse, it means we silently find whatever other "git" is in
the PATH, and produce test results that have no bearing on
what we asked for.
Let's fallback to the main git directory when bin-wrappers
isn't present. Many modern perf scripts won't run with such
an antique version of Git, of course, but at least those
failures are detected and reported (and you're free to write

Since 1a0962dee (t/perf: fix regression in testing older
versions of git, 2016-06-22), we point "$MODERN_GIT" to a
copy of git that matches the t/perf script itself, and which
can be used for tasks outside of the actual timings. This is
needed because the setup done by perf scripts keeps moving
forward in time, and may use features that the older
versions of git we are testing do not have.
That commit used $MODERN_GIT to fix a case where we relied
on the relatively recent --git-path option. But if you go
back further still, there are more problems.
Since 7501b5921 (perf: make the tests work in worktrees,
2016-05-13), we use "git -C", but versions of git older than
44e1e4d67 (git: run in a directory given with -C option,
2013-09-09) don't know about "-C". So testing an old version
of git with a new version of t/perf will fail the setup
step.
We can fix this by using $MODERN_GIT during the setup;
there's no need to use the antique version, since it doesn't
affect the timings. Likewise, we'll adjust the "init"
invocation; antique versions of git called this "init-db".
