0f5274033e safe_create_leading_directories(): on Windows, \ can separate path components
When cloning to a directory "C:\foo\bar" from Windows' cmd.exe where
"foo" does not exist yet, Git would throw an error like

    fatal: could not create work tree dir 'c:\foo\bar'.: No such file or directory

Fix this by not hard-coding a platform specific directory separator
into safe_create_leading_directories().

This patch, including its entire commit message, is derived from a

1a6d8b9148 do not discard revindex when re-preparing packfiles
When an object lookup fails, we re-read the objects/pack
directory to pick up any new packfiles that may have been
created since our last read. We also discard any pack
revindex structs we've allocated.

The discarding is a problem for the pack-bitmap code, which keeps
a pointer to the revindex for the bitmapped pack. After the
discard, the pointer is invalid, and we may read free()d
memory.

Other revindex users do not keep a bare pointer to the
revindex; instead, they always access it through
revindex_for_pack(), which lazily builds the revindex. So
one solution is to teach the pack-bitmap code a similar
trick. It would be slightly less efficient, but probably not
all that noticeable.

However, it turns out this discarding is not actually
necessary. When we call reprepare_packed_git, we do not
throw away our old pack list. We keep the existing entries,
and only add in new ones. So there is no safety problem; we
will still have the pack struct that matches each revindex.
The packfile itself may go away, of course, but we are
already prepared to handle that, and it may happen outside
of reprepare_packed_git anyway.

Throwing away the revindex may save some RAM if the pack
never gets reused (about 12 bytes per object). But it also
wastes some CPU time (to regenerate the index) if the pack
does get reused. It's hard to say which is more valuable,
but in either case, it happens very rarely (only when we
race with a simultaneous repack). Just leaving the revindex
in place is simple and safe both for current and future
code.

keeping packfiles open, a system with non-working getrlimit() could

fall back to a reasonable low value rather than dying.

18d37e860d safe_create_leading_directories(): add new error value SCLD_VANISHED
Add a new possible error result that can be returned by
safe_create_leading_directories() and
safe_create_leading_directories_const(): SCLD_VANISHED.  This value
indicates that a file or directory on the path existed at one point
(either it already existed or the function created it), but then it
disappeared.  This probably indicates that another process deleted the
directory while we were working.  If SCLD_VANISHED is returned, the
caller might want to retry the function call, as there is a chance
that a new attempt will succeed.

Why doesn't safe_create_leading_directories() do the retrying
internally?  Because an empty directory isn't really ever safe until
it holds a file.  So even if safe_create_leading_directories() were
absolutely sure that the directory existed before it returned, there
would be no guarantee that the directory still existed when the caller
tried to write something in it.

bf10cf70ad safe_create_leading_directories(): split on first of multiple slashes
If the input path has multiple slashes between path components (e.g.,
"foo//bar"), then the old code was breaking the path at the last
slash, not the first one.  So in the above example, the second slash
was overwritten with NUL, resulting in the parent directory being
sought as "foo/".

When stat() is called on "foo/", it fails with ENOTDIR if "foo" exists
but is not a directory.  This caused the wrong path to be taken in the
subsequent logic.

So instead, split path components at the first intercomponent slash
rather than the last one.

5d642e7506 sha1_object_info_extended: provide delta base sha1s
A caller of sha1_object_info_extended technically has enough
information to determine the base sha1 from the results of
the call. It knows the pack, offset, and delta type of the
object, which is sufficient to find the base.

However, the functions to do so are not publicly available,
and the code itself is intimate enough with the pack details
that it should be abstracted away. We could add a public
helper to allow callers to query the delta base separately,
but it is simpler and slightly more efficient to optionally
grab it along with the rest of the object_info data.

For cases where the object is not stored as a delta, we
write the null sha1 into the query field. A careful caller
could check "oi.whence == OI_PACKED && oi.u.packed.is_delta"
before looking at the base sha1, but using the null sha1
provides a simple alternative (and gives a better sanity
check for a non-careful caller than simply returning random
bytes).

The same issue exists with _SC_OPEN_MAX and sysconf(); restructure

b039718d92 drop support for "experimental" loose objects
In git v1.4.3, we introduced a new loose object format that
encoded some object information outside of the zlib stream.
Ultimately the format was dropped in v1.5.3, but we kept the
reading side around to help people migrate objects. Each
time we open a loose object, we use a heuristic to check
whether it is in the normal loose format, or the
experimental one.

This heuristic is robust in the face of valid data, but it
tends to treat corrupted or garbage data as an experimental
object. With the regular format, we would notice quickly
that zlib's crc does not check out and complain. With the
experimental object, we are likely to extract a nonsensical
object size and try to allocate a huge buffer, resulting in
xmalloc calling "die".

This latter behavior is much worse, for two reasons. One,
git reports an allocation error when the real error is
corruption. And two, the program dies unconditionally, so
you cannot even run fsck (which would otherwise ignore the
broken object and keep going).

We could try to improve the heuristic to err on the side of
normal objects in the face of corruption, but there is
really little point. The experimental format is long-dead,
and was never enabled by default to begin with. We can
instead simply remove it. The only affected repository would
be one that explicitly set core.legacyheaders in 2007, and
then never repacked in the intervening 6 years.

bother checking the existence of the object itself.

b2476a60bd sha1_file.c:create_tmpfile(): Fix race when creating loose object dirs
There are cases (e.g. when running concurrent fetches in a repo) where
multiple Git processes concurrently attempt to create loose objects
within the same objects/XX/ dir. The creation of the loose object files
is (AFAICS) safe from races, but the creation of the objects/XX/ dir in
which the loose objects reside is unsafe, for example:

Two concurrent fetches - A and B. As part of its fetch, A needs to store
12aaaaa as a loose object. B, on the other hand, needs to store 12bbbbb
as a loose object. The objects/12 directory does not already exist.
Concurrently, both A and B determine that they need to create the
objects/12 directory (because their first call to git_mkstemp_mode()
within create_tmpfile() fails witn ENOENT). One of them - let's say A -
executes the following mkdir() call before the other. This first call
returns success, and A moves on. When B gets around to calling mkdir(),
it fails with EEXIST, because A won the race. The mkdir() error causes B
to return -1 from create_tmpfile(), which propagates all the way,
resulting in the fetch failing with:

  error: unable to create temporary file: File exists
  fatal: failed to write object
  fatal: unpack-objects failed

Although it's hard to add a testcase reproducing this issue, it's easy
to provoke if we insert a sleep after the

  if (mkdir(buffer, 0777) || adjust_shared_perm(buffer))
      return -1;

block, and then run two concurrent "git fetch"es against the same repo.

The fix is to simply handle mkdir() failing with EEXIST as a success.
If EEXIST is somehow returned for the wrong reasons (because the relevant
objects/XX is not a directory, or is otherwise unsuitable for object
storage), the following call to adjust_shared_perm(), or ultimately the
retried call to git_mkstemp_mode() will fail, and we end up returning
error from create_tmpfile() in any case.

Note that there are still cases where two users with unsuitable umasks
in a shared repo can end up in two races where one user first wins the
mkdir() race to create an objects/XX/ directory, and then the other user
wins the adjust_shared_perms() race to chmod() that directory, but fails
because it is (transiently, until the first users completes its chmod())
unwriteable to the other user. However, (an equivalent of) this race also
exists before this patch, and is made no worse by this patch.

3fc0dca9ce sha1_file: move comment about return value where it belongs
Commit 5b0864070 (sha1_object_info_extended: make type calculation
optional, Jul 12 2013) changed the return value of the
sha1_object_info_extended function to 0/-1 for success/error.

Previously this function returned the object type for success or
-1 for error. But unfortunately the above commit forgot to change
or move the comment above this function that says "returns enum
object_type or negative".

To fix this inconsistency, let's move the comment above the
sha1_object_info function where it is still true.

77965f8b29 pack-objects: no crc check when the cached version is used
Current code makes pack-objects always do check_pack_crc() in
unpack_entry() even if right after that we find out there's a cached
version and pack access is not needed. Swap two code blocks, search
for cached version first, then check crc.

45e8a74873 has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up
When we read a sha1 file, we first look for a packed
version, then a loose version, and then re-check the pack
directory again before concluding that we cannot find it.
This lets us handle a process that is writing to the
repository simultaneously (e.g., receive-pack writing a new
pack followed by a ref update, or git-repack packing
existing loose objects into a new pack).

However, we do not do the same trick with has_sha1_file; we
only check the packed objects once, followed by loose
objects. This means that we might incorrectly report that we
do not have an object, even though we could find it if we
simply re-checked the pack directory.

By itself, this is usually not a big deal. The other process
is running simultaneously, so we may run has_sha1_file
before it writes, anyway. It is a race whether we see the
object or not.  However, we may also see other things
the writing process has done (like updating refs); and in
that case, we must be able to also see the new objects.

For example, imagine we are doing a for_each_ref iteration,
and somebody simultaneously pushes. Receive-pack may write
the pack and update a ref after we have examined the
objects/pack directory, but before the iteration gets to the
updated ref. When we do finally see the updated ref,
for_each_ref will call has_sha1_file to check whether the
ref is broken. If has_sha1_file returns the wrong answer, we
erroneously will think that the ref is broken.

For a normal iteration without DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN,
this means that the caller does not see the ref at all
(neither the old nor the new value).  So not only will we
fail to see the new value of the ref (which is acceptable,
since we are running simultaneously with the writer, and we
might well read the ref before the writer commits its
write), but we will not see the old value either. For
programs that act on reachability like pack-objects or
prune, this can cause data loss, as we may see the objects
referenced by the original ref value as dangling (and either
omit them from the pack, or delete them via prune).

There's no test included here, because the success case is
two processes running simultaneously forever. But you can
replicate the issue with:

  # base.sh
  # run this in one terminal; it creates and pushes
  # repeatedly to a repository
  git init parent &&
  (cd parent &&

    # create a base commit that will trigger us looking at
    # the objects/pack directory before we hit the updated ref
    echo content >file &&
    git add file &&
    git commit -m base &&

    # set the unpack limit abnormally low, which
    # lets us simulate full-size pushes using tiny ones
    git config receive.unpackLimit 1
  ) &&
  git clone parent child &&
  cd child &&
  n=0 &&
  while true; do
    echo $n >file && git add file && git commit -m $n &&
    git push origin HEAD:refs/remotes/child/master &&
    n=$(($n + 1))
  done

  # fsck.sh
  # now run this simultaneously in another terminal; it
  # repeatedly fscks, looking for us to consider the
  # newly-pushed ref broken. We cannot use for-each-ref
  # here, as it uses DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN, which
  # skips the has_sha1_file check (and if it wants
  # more information on the object, it will actually read
  # the object, which does the proper two-step lookup)
  cd parent &&
  while true; do
    broken=`git fsck 2>&1 | grep remotes/child`
    if test -n "$broken"; then
      echo $broken
      exit 1
    fi
  done

Without this patch, the fsck loop fails within a few seconds
(and almost instantly if the test repository actually has a
large number of refs). With it, the two can run
indefinitely.
