ee87d47b36 Merge branch 'jk/daemon-path-ok-check-truncation'
"git daemon" used fixed-length buffers to turn URL to the
repository the client asked for into the server side directory
path, using snprintf() to avoid overflowing these buffers, but
allowed possibly truncated paths to the directory.  This has been
tightened to reject such a request that causes overlong path to be
required to serve.

a2c761ce5b git-svn: do not reuse caches memoized for a different architecture
Reusing cached data speeds up git-svn by quite a fair bit. However, if
the YAML module is unavailable, the caches are written to disk in an
architecture-dependent manner. That leads to problems when upgrading,
say, from 32-bit to 64-bit Git for Windows.

Let's just try to read those caches back if we detect the absence of the
YAML module and the presence of the file, and delete the file if it
could not be read back correctly.

Note that the only way to catch the error when the memoized cache could
not be read back is to put the call inside an `eval { ... }` block
because it would die otherwise; the `eval` block should also return `1`
in case of success explicitly since the function reading back the cached
data does not return an appropriate value to test for success.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/233.

5c238e29a8 git-compat-util: move content inside ifdef/endif guards
Commit 3f2e2297b9 (add an extra level of indirection to
main(), 2016-07-01) added a declaration to git-compat-util.h,
but it was accidentally placed after the final #endif that
guards against multiple inclusions.

This doesn't have any actual impact on the code, since it's
not incorrect to repeat a function declaration in C. But
it's a bad habit, and makes it more likely for somebody else
to make the same mistake. It also defeats gcc's optimization
to avoid opening header files whose contents are completely
guarded.

4f03666ac6 diff: handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository
When generating diffs outside a repository (e.g., with "diff
--no-index"), we may write abbreviated sha1s as part of
"--raw" output or the "index" lines of "--patch" output.
Since we have no object database, we never find any
collisions, and these sha1s get whatever static abbreviation
length is configured (typically 7).

However, we do blindly look in ".git/objects" to see if any
objects exist, even though we know we are not in a
repository. This is usually harmless because such a
directory is unlikely to exist, but could be wrong in rare
circumstances.

Let's instead notice when we are not in a repository and
behave as if the object database is empty (i.e., just use
the default abbrev length). It would perhaps make sense to
be conservative and show full sha1s in that case, but
showing the default abbreviation is what we've always done
(and is certainly less ugly).

Note that this does mean that:

  cd /not/a/repo
  GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY=/some/real/objdir git diff --no-index ...

used to look for collisions in /some/real/objdir but now
does not. This could be considered either a bugfix (we do
not look at objects if we have no repository) or a
regression, but it seems unlikely that anybody would care
much either way.

d5e3b01e5b diff_unique_abbrev: rename to diff_aligned_abbrev
The word "align" describes how the function actually differs
from find_unique_abbrev, and will make it less confusing
when we add more diff-specific abbrevation functions that do
not do this alignment.

Since this is a globally available function, let's also move
its descriptive comment to the header file, where we
typically document function interfaces.

ef2ed5013c find_unique_abbrev: use 4-buffer ring
Some code paths want to format multiple abbreviated sha1s in
the same output line. Because we use a single static buffer
for our return value, they have to either break their output
into several calls or allocate their own arrays and use
find_unique_abbrev_r().

Intead, let's mimic sha1_to_hex() and use a ring of several
buffers, so that the return value stays valid through
multiple calls. This shortens some of the callers, and makes
it harder to for them to make a silly mistake.

f0056f6419 read info/{attributes,exclude} only when in repository
The low-level attribute and gitignore code will try to look
in $GIT_DIR/info for any repo-level configuration files,
even if we have not actually determined that we are in a
repository (e.g., running "git grep --no-index"). In such a
case they end up looking for ".git/info/attributes", etc.

This is generally harmless, as such a file is unlikely to
exist outside of a repository, but it's still conceptually
the wrong thing to do.

Let's detect this situation explicitly and skip reading the
file (i.e., the same behavior we'd get if we were in a
repository and the file did not exist).

3b1e135b87 Merge branch 'ex/deprecate-empty-pathspec-as-match-all'
An empty string used as a pathspec element has always meant
'everything matches', but it is too easy to write a script that
finds a path to remove in $path and run 'git rm "$paht"', which
ends up removing everything.  Start warning about this use of an
empty string used for 'everything matches' and ask users to use a
more explicit '.' for that instead.

The hope is that existing users will not mind this change, and
eventually the warning can be turned into a hard error, upgrading
the deprecation into removal of this (mis)feature.

Overflow is defined for unsigned integers, but not for signed ones.

We could make the ring-buffer index in sha1_to_hex() and
get_pathname() unsigned to be on the safe side to resolve this, but
let's make it explicit that we are wrapping around at whatever the
number of elements the ring-buffer has.  The compiler is smart enough
to turn modulus into bitmask for these codepaths that use
ring-buffers of a size that is a power of 2.

a56c8f5aab stash: allow stashes to be referenced by index only
Instead of referencing "stash@{n}" explicitly, make it possible to
simply reference as "n".  Most users only reference stashes by their
position in the stash stack (what I refer to as the "index" here).

The syntax for the typical stash (stash@{n}) is slightly annoying and
easy to forget, and sometimes difficult to escape properly in a
script. Because of this the capability to do things with the stash by
simply referencing the index is desirable.

This patch includes the superior implementation provided by Øsse Walle
(thanks for that), with a slight change to fix a broken test in the test

un-wrapped the documentation as suggested by Junio Hamano.

77b63ac31e t0060: sidestep surprising path mangling results on Windows
When an MSYS program (such as the bash that drives the test suite)
invokes git on Windows, absolute Unix style paths are transformed into
Windows native absolute paths (drive letter form). However, this
transformation also includes some simplifications that are not just
straight-forward textual substitutions:

- When the path ends in "/.", then the dot is stripped, but not the
  directory separator.

- When the path contains "..", then it is optimized away if possible,
  e.g., "/c/dir/foo/../bar" becomes "c:/dir/bar".

These additional transformations violate the assumptions of some
submodule path tests. We can avoid them when the input is already a
Windows native path, because then MSYS leaves the path unmolested.

Convert the uses of $PWD to $(pwd); the latter returns a native Windows
path.

a0a6cb9662 read-cache: make sure file handles are not inherited by child processes
This fixes "convert: add filter.<driver>.process option" (edcc8581) on
Windows.

Consider the case of a file that requires filtering and is present in
branch A but not in branch B. If A is the current HEAD and we checkout B
then the following happens:

1. ce_compare_data() opens the file
2.   index_fd() detects that the file requires to run a clean filter and
     calls index_stream_convert_blob()
4.     index_stream_convert_blob() calls convert_to_git_filter_fd()
5.       convert_to_git_filter_fd() calls apply_filter() which creates a
         new long running filter process (in case it is the first file
         of this kind to be filtered)
6.       The new filter process inherits all file handles. This is the
         default on Linux/OSX and is explicitly defined in the
         `CreateProcessW` call in `mingw.c` on Windows.
7. ce_compare_data() closes the file
8. Git unlinks the file as it is not present in B

The unlink operation does not work on Windows because the filter process
has still an open handle to the file. On Linux/OSX the unlink operation
succeeds but the file descriptors still leak into the child process.

Fix this problem by opening files in read-cache with the O_CLOEXEC flag
to ensure that the file descriptor does not remain open in a newly
spawned process similar to 05d1ed6148 ("mingw: ensure temporary file
handles are not inherited by child processes", 2016-08-22).

cd66ada065 sha1_file: open window into packfiles with O_CLOEXEC
All processes that the Git main process spawns inherit the open file
descriptors of the main process. These leaked file descriptors can
cause problems.

Use the O_CLOEXEC flag similar to 05d1ed61 to fix the leaked file
descriptors.

a5436b5794 sha1_file: rename git_open_noatime() to git_open()
This function is meant to be used when reading from files in the
object store, and the original objective was to avoid smudging atime
of loose object files too often, hence its name.  Because we'll be
extending its role in the next commit to also arrange the file
descriptors they return auto-closed in the child processes, rename
it to lose "noatime" part that is too specific.

6750f62699 doc: fix the 'revert a faulty merge' ASCII art tab spacing
The asciidoctor doc-tool stack does not always respect the 'tab = 8 spaces' rule
expectation, particularly for the Git-for-Windows generated html pages. This
follows on from the 'doc: fix merge-base ASCII art tab spacing' fix.

Use just spaces within the block of the ascii art.

All other *.txt ascii art containing three dashes has been checked.
Asciidoctor correctly formats the other art blocks that do contain tabs.

2c49f7ffb3 commit: don't be fooled by ita entries when creating initial commit
ita entries are dropped at tree generation phase. If the entire index
consists of just ita entries, the result would be a a commit with no
entries, which should be caught unless --allow-empty is specified. The
test "!!active_nr" is not sufficient to catch this.
