We used to read the init.templateDir setting at builtin/init-db.c using
a git_config() callback that, in turn, called git_config_pathname(). To
simplify the config reading logic at this file and plug a memory leak,
this was replaced by a direct call to git_config_get_value() at
e4de4502e6 ("init: remove git_init_db_config() while fixing leaks",
2021-03-14). However, this function doesn't provide path expanding
semantics, like git_config_pathname() does, so paths with '~/' and
'~user/' are treated literally. This makes 'git init' fail to handle
init.templateDir paths using these constructs:
$ git config init.templateDir '~/templates_dir'
$ git init
'warning: templates not found in ~/templates_dir'
Replace the git_config_get_value() call by git_config_get_pathname(),
which does the '~/' and '~user/' expansions. Also add a regression test.
Note that unlike git_config_get_value(), the config cache does not own
the memory for the path returned by git_config_get_pathname(), so we
must free() it.

To give ample warning for users wishing to override Git's the fall-back
for an unconfigured `init.defaultBranch` (in case we decide to change it
in a future Git version), let's introduce some advice that is shown upon
`git init` when that value is not set.
Note: two test cases in Git's test suite want to verify that the
`stderr` output of `git init` is empty. It is now necessary to suppress
the advice, we now do that via the `init.defaultBranch` setting. While
not strictly necessary, we also set this to `false` in

To allow for an incremental conversion to a new default main branch
name, let's introduce `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME`. This
environment variable can be set at the top of each converted test
script, overriding the default main branch name to use when initializing
new repositories (or cloning empty repositories).
Note: the `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME` is _not_ intended to be
used manually; many tests require a specific main branch name and cannot
simply work with another one. This `GIT_TEST_*` variable is meant purely
for the transitional period while the entire test suite is converted to
use `main` as the initial branch name by default.
We also introduce the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq that determines
whether the default main branch name is `main`, and adjust a couple of
test functions to use it. This prereq will be used to temporarily
disable a couple test cases to allow for adjusting the test script
incrementally. Once an entire test is adjusted, we will adjust the test
so that it is run with `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_MAIN_BRANCH_NAME=main`.

The intention of `git init --separate-work-dir=<path>` is to move the
.git/ directory to a location outside of the main worktree. When used
within a linked worktree, however, rather than moving the .git/
directory as intended, it instead incorrectly moves the worktree's
.git/worktrees/<id> directory to <path>, thus disconnecting the linked
worktree from its parent repository and breaking the worktree in the
process since its local .git file no longer points at a location at
which it can find the object database. Fix this broken behavior.
An intentional side-effect of this change is that it also closes a
loophole not caught by ccf236a23a (init: disallow --separate-git-dir
with bare repository, 2020-08-09) in which the check to prevent
--separate-git-dir being used in conjunction with a bare repository was
unable to detect the invalid combination when invoked from within a

closed, as well.

A linked worktree's .git file is a "gitfile" pointing at the
.git/worktrees/<id> directory within the repository. When `git init
--separate-git-dir=<path>` is used on an existing repository to relocate
the repository's .git/ directory to a different location, it neglects to
update the .git files of linked worktrees, thus breaking the worktrees
by making it impossible for them to locate the repository. Fix this by
teaching --separate-git-dir to repair the .git file of each linked
worktree to point at the new repository location.

The purpose of "git init --separate-git-dir" is to initialize a
new project with the repository separate from the working tree,
or, in the case of an existing project, to move the repository
(the .git/ directory) out of the working tree. It does not make
sense to use --separate-git-dir with a bare repository for which
there is no working tree, so disallow its use with bare
repositories.
* es/init-no-separate-git-dir-in-bare:
init: disallow --separate-git-dir with bare repository
The purpose of "git init --separate-git-dir" is to separate the
repository from the worktree. This is true even when --separate-git-dir
is used on an existing worktree, in which case, it moves the .git/
subdirectory to a new location outside the worktree.
However, an outright bare repository (such as one created by "git init
--bare"), has no worktree, so using --separate-git-dir to separate it
from its non-existent worktree is nonsensical. Therefore, make it an
error to use --separate-git-dir on a bare repository.
Implementation note: "git init" considers a repository bare if told so
explicitly via --bare or if it guesses it to be so based upon
heuristics. In the explicit --bare case, a conflict with
--separate-git-dir is easy to detect early. In the guessed case,
however, the conflict can only be detected once "bareness" is guessed,
which happens after "git init" has begun creating the repository.
Technically, we can get by with a single late check which would cover
both cases, however, erroring out early, when possible, without leaving
detritus provides a better user experience.

On a case-insensitive filesystem, such as HFS+ or NTFS, it is possible
that the idea Bash has of the current directory differs in case from
what Git thinks it is. That's totally okay, though, and we should not
expect otherwise.
On Windows, for example, when you call
cd C:\GIT-SDK-64
in a PowerShell and there exists a directory called `C:\git-sdk-64`, the
current directory will be reported in all upper-case. Even in a Bash
that you might call from that PowerShell. Git, however, will have
normalized this via `GetFinalPathByHandle()`, and the expectation in
t0001 that the recorded gitdir will match what `pwd` says will be
violated.
Let's address this by comparing these paths in a case-insensitive

For an environment variable that is supposed to be set by users, the
GIT_TR2* env vars are just too unclear, inconsistent, and ugly.
Most of the established GIT_* environment variables don't use
abbreviations, and in case of the few that do (GIT_DIR,
GIT_COMMON_DIR, GIT_DIFF_OPTS) it's quite obvious what the
abbreviations (DIR and OPTS) stand for. But what does TR stand for?
Track, traditional, trailer, transaction, transfer, transformation,
transition, translation, transplant, transport, traversal, tree,
trigger, truncate, trust, or ...?!
The trace2 facility, as the '2' suffix in its name suggests, is
supposed to eventually supercede Git's original trace facility. It's
reasonable to expect that the corresponding environment variables
follow suit, and after the original GIT_TRACE variables they are
called GIT_TRACE2; there is no such thing is 'GIT_TR'.
All trace2-specific config variables are, very sensibly, in the
'trace2' section, not in 'tr2'.
OTOH, we don't gain anything at all by omitting the last three
characters of "trace" from the names of these environment variables.
So let's rename all GIT_TR2* environment variables to GIT_TRACE2*,
before they make their way into a stable release.

During git-init we chdir() to the target directory, but --template is

mentions nothing about this behavior. Change it to be relative to $CWD,

The changes in the test suite show that this relative-to-target behavior

This is a brown paper bag. When adding the tests, we actually failed
to verify that the config variable is heeded in git-init at all. And
when changing the original patch that marked the .git/ directory as
hidden after reading the config, it was lost on this developer that
the new code would use the hide_dotfiles variable before the config
was read.
The fix is obvious: read the (limited, pre-init) config *before*
creating the .git/ directory.
Please note that we cannot remove the identical-looking `git_config()`
call from `create_default_files()`: we create the `.git/` directory
between those calls. If we removed it, and if the parent directory is
in a Git worktree, and if that worktree's `.git/config` contained any
`init.templatedir` setting, we would all of a sudden pick that up.

Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to
replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a
unified set of git_trace2* routines.
In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level
event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written.
This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools.
Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment
variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be
set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE).
* GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command
summary data.
* GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE.
It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread,
repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for
child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function
nesting.
* GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a
series of JSON records.
Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled
without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance*
routines.

Some of the functions in our test library check that they were invoked
properly with conditions like this:
test "$#" = 2 ||
error "bug in the test script: not 2 parameters to test-expect-success"
If this particular condition is triggered, then 'error' will abort the
whole test script with a bold red error message [1] right away.
However, under certain circumstances the test script will be aborted
completely silently, namely if:
- a similar condition in a test helper function like
'test_line_count' is triggered,
- which is invoked from the test script's "main" shell [2],
- and the test script is run manually (i.e. './t1234-foo.sh' as
opposed to 'make t1234-foo.sh' or 'make test') [3]
- and without the '--verbose' option,
because the error message is printed from within 'test_eval_', where
standard output is redirected either to /dev/null or to a log file.
The only indication that something is wrong is that not all tests in
the script are executed and at the end of the test script's output
there is no "# passed all N tests" message, which are subtle and can
easily go unnoticed, as I had to experience myself.
Send these "bug in the test script" error messages directly to the
test scripts standard error and thus to the terminal, so those bugs
will be much harder to overlook. Instead of updating all ~20 such
'error' calls with a redirection, let's add a BUG() function to
'test-lib.sh', wrapping an 'error' call with the proper redirection
and also including the common prefix of those error messages, and
convert all those call sites [4] to use this new BUG() function
instead.
[1] That particular error message from 'test_expect_success' is
printed in color only when running with or without '--verbose';
with '--tee' or '--verbose-log' the error is printed without
color, but it is printed to the terminal nonetheless.
[2] If such a condition is triggered in a subshell of a test, then
'error' won't be able to abort the whole test script, but only the
subshell, which in turn causes the test to fail in the usual way,
indicating loudly and clearly that something is wrong.
[3] Well, 'error' aborts the test script the same way when run
manually or by 'make' or 'prove', but both 'make' and 'prove' pay
attention to the test script's exit status, and even a silently
aborted test script would then trigger those tools' usual
noticable error messages.
[4] Strictly speaking, not all those 'error' calls need that
redirection to send their output to the terminal, see e.g.
'test_expect_success' in the opening example, but I think it's
better to be consistent.

tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of 'test ! -s'
tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of '! test -s'
Using 'test_must_be_empty' is shorter and more idiomatic than
>empty &&
test_cmp empty out
as it saves the creation of an empty file. Furthermore, sometimes the
expected empty file doesn't have such a descriptive name like 'empty',
and its creation is far away from the place where it's finally used
for comparison (e.g. in 't7600-merge.sh', where two expected empty
files are created in the 'setup' test, but are used only about 500
lines later).
These cases were found by instrumenting 'test_cmp' to error out the
test script when it's used to compare empty files, and then converted
manually.
Note that even after this patch there still remain a lot of cases
where we use 'test_cmp' to check empty files:
- Sometimes the expected output is not hard-coded in the test, but
'test_cmp' is used to ensure that two similar git commands produce
the same output, and that output happens to be empty, e.g. the
test 'submodule update --merge - ignores --merge for new
submodules' in 't7406-submodule-update.sh'.
- Repetitive common tasks, including preparing the expected results
and running 'test_cmp', are often extracted into a helper
function, and some of this helper's callsites expect no output.
- For the same reason as above, the whole 'test_expect_success'
block is within a helper function, e.g. in 't3070-wildmatch.sh'.
- Or 'test_cmp' is invoked in a loop, e.g. the test 'cvs update
(-p)' in 't9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh'.

Particularly when calling Git from applications, such as Visual Studio's
Team Explorer, it is important that stdin/stdout/stderr are closed
properly. However, when spawning processes on Windows, those handles
must be marked as inheritable if we want to use them, but that flag is a
global flag and may very well be used by other spawned processes which
then do not know to close those handles.
Let's introduce a set of environment variables (GIT_REDIRECT_STDIN and
friends) that specify paths to files, or even better, named pipes (which
are similar to Unix sockets) and that are used by the spawned Git
process. This helps work around above-mentioned issue: those named
pipes will be opened in a non-inheritable way upon startup, and no
handles are passed around (and therefore no inherited handles need to be
closed by any spawned child).
This feature shipped with Git for Windows (marked as experimental) since
v2.11.0(2), so it has seen some serious testing in the meantime.

FreeBSD implements getcwd(3) as a syscall, but falls back to a version
based on readdir(3) if it fails for some reason. The latter requires
permissions to read and execute path components, while the former does
not. That means that if our buffer is too small and we're missing
rights we could get EACCES, but we may succeed with a bigger buffer.
Keep retrying if getcwd(3) indicates lack of permissions until our
buffer can fit PATH_MAX bytes, as that's the maximum supported by the
syscall on FreeBSD anyway. This way we do what we can to be able to
benefit from the syscall, but we also won't loop forever if there is a
real permission issue.
This fixes a regression introduced with 7333ed17 (setup: convert
setup_git_directory_gently_1 et al. to strbuf, 2014-07-28) for paths
longer than 127 bytes with components that miss read or execute
permissions (e.g. 0711 on /home for privacy reasons); we used a fixed

In the current code, however, we feed the return value from

When git_config() runs, it looks in the system, user-wide,
and repo-level config files. It gets the latter by calling
git_pathdup(), which in turn calls get_git_dir(). If we
haven't set up the git repository yet, this may simply
return ".git", and we will look at ".git/config". This
seems like it would be helpful (presumably we haven't set up
the repository yet, so it tries to find it), but it turns
out to be a bad idea for a few reasons:
- it's not sufficient, and therefore hides bugs in a
confusing way. Config will be respected if commands are
run from the top-level of the working tree, but not from
a subdirectory.
- it's not always true that we haven't set up the
repository _yet_; we may not want to do it at all. For
instance, if you run "git init /some/path" from inside
another repository, it should not load config from the
existing repository.
- there might be a path ".git/config", but it is not the
actual repository we would find via setup_git_directory().
This may happen, e.g., if you are storing a git
repository inside another git repository, but have
munged one of the files in such a way that the
inner repository is not valid (e.g., by removing HEAD).
We have at least two bugs of the second type in git-init,
introduced by ae5f677 (lazily load core.sharedrepository,
2016-03-11). It causes init to use git_configset(), which
loads all of the config, including values from the current
repo (if any). This shows up in two ways:
1. If we happen to be in an existing repository directory,
we'll read and respect core.sharedrepository from it,
even though it should have no bearing on the new
repository. A new test in t1301 covers this.
2. Similarly, if we're in an existing repo that sets
core.logallrefupdates, that will cause init to fail to
set it in a newly created repository (because it thinks
that the user's templates already did so). A new test
in t0001 covers this.
We also need to adjust an existing test in t1302, which
gives another example of why this patch is an improvement.
That test creates an embedded repository with a bogus
core.repositoryformatversion of "99". It wants to make sure
that we actually stop at the bogus repo rather than
continuing upward to find the outer repo. So it checks that
"git config core.repositoryformatversion" returns 99. But
that only works because we blindly read ".git/config", even
though we _know_ we're in a repository whose vintage we do
not understand.
After this patch, we avoid reading config from the unknown
vintage repository at all, which is a safer choice. But we
need to tweak the test, since core.repositoryformatversion
will not return 99; it will claim that it could not find the
variable at all.

On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot
are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the
.git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed
through Git itself.
On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag
to mark files or directories as hidden.
In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or
for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot)
hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data.
Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting,
with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to
marking only the .git/ directory as hidden.
The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as
was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However,
not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not
show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a
.gitattributes file).
In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core
Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows'
users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/
directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden
.git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the
process of getting this patch upstream.
Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when
creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which
transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile()
function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the
equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed
and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an
existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be
transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again
without O_CREAT.
A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen()
function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag.
Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them
via fopen()/freopen().
The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file
that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in
Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is
awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled
better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series,
though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without
the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.

d95138e6 (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like
$GIT_DIR, 2015-06-26) attempted to work around a glitch in alias
handling by overwriting GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable to
affect subprocesses when set_git_work_tree() gets called, which
resulted in a rather unpleasant regression to "clone" and "init".
Try to address the same issue by always restoring the environment
and respawning the real underlying command when handling alias.

git.c: make sure we do not leak GIT_* to alias scripts
setup.c: re-fix d95138e (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when ..
git.c: make it clear save_env() is for alias handling only
The unfortunate commit d95138e (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when
work tree is set, like $GIT_DIR - 2015-06-26) exposes another problem,
besides git-clone that's described in the previous commit. If
GIT_WORK_TREE (or even GIT_DIR) is exported to an alias script, it may
mislead git commands in the script where the repo is. Granted, most
scripts work on the repo where the alias is summoned from. But nowhere
do we forbid the script to visit another repository.
The revert of d95138e in the previous commit is sufficient as a
fix. However, to protect us from accidentally leaking GIT_*
environment variables again, we restore certain sensitive env before
calling the external script.
GIT_PREFIX is let through because there's another setup side effect
that we simply accepted so far: current working directory is
moved. Maybe in future we can introduce a new alias format that
guarantees no cwd move, then we can unexport GIT_PREFIX.

The init code predates strbufs, and uses PATH_MAX-sized
buffers along with many manual checks on intermediate sizes
(some of which make magic assumptions, such as that init
will not create a path inside .git longer than 50
characters).
We can simplify this greatly by using strbufs, which drops
some hard-to-verify strcpy calls in favor of git_path_buf.
While we're in the area, let's also convert existing calls
to git_path to the safer git_path_buf (our existing calls
were passed to pretty tame functions, and so were not a
problem, but it's easy to be consistent and safe here).
Note that we had an explicit test that "git init" rejects
long template directories. This comes from 32d1776 (init: Do
not segfault on big GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable,
2009-04-18). We can drop the test_must_fail here, as we now
accept this and need only confirm that we don't segfault,
which was the original point of the test.

Since time immemorial, the test of whether to set "core.filemode"
has been done by trying to toggle the u+x bit on $GIT_DIR/config,
which we know always exists, and then testing whether the change
"took". I find it somewhat odd to use the config file for this
test, but whatever.
The test code didn't set the u+x bit back to its original state
itself, instead relying on the subsequent call to git_config_set()
to re-write the config file with correct permissions.
But ever since
daa22c6f8d config: preserve config file permissions on edits (2014-05-06)
git_config_set() copies the permissions from the old config file to
the new one. This is a good change in and of itself, but it
invalidates the create_default_files()'s assumption, causing "git
init" to leave the executable bit set on $GIT_DIR/config.
Reset the permissions on $GIT_DIR/config when we are done with the
test in create_default_files().

* nd/init-restore-env:
git potty: restore environments after alias expansion
Commit 4ad8332 (t0001: test git init when run via an alias -
2010-11-26) noted breakages when running init via alias. The problem
is for alias to be used, $GIT_DIR must be searched, but 'init' and
'clone' are not happy with that. So we start a new process like an
external command, with clean environment in this case. Env variables
that are set by command line (e.g. "git --git-dir=.. ") are kept.
This should also fix autocorrecting a command typo to "init" because
it's the same problem: aliases are read, then "init" is unhappy with
$GIT_DIR already set up because of that.

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.
