Prior to Git 2.35.0, git could be run from an inaccessible working
directory so long as the git repository specified by options and/or
environment variables was accessible. For example:
git init repo
mkdir -p a/b
cd a/b
chmod u-x ..
git -C "${PWD%/a/b}/repo" status
If this example seems a bit contrived, consider running with the
repository owner as a substitute UID (e.g. with runuser(1) or sudo(8))
without ensuring the working directory is accessible by that user.
The code added by e6f8861bd4 ("setup: introduce
startup_info->original_cwd") to preserve the working directory attempts
to normalize the path using strbuf_realpath(). If that fails, as in the
case above, it is treated as a fatal error.
This commit treats strbuf_realpath() errors as non-fatal. If an error
occurs, setup_original_cwd() will continue without applying removal
prevention for cwd, resulting in the pre-2.35.0 behavior. The risk
should be minimal, since git will not operate on a repository with
inaccessible ancestors, this behavior is only known to occur when cwd is
a descendant of the repository, an ancestor of cwd is inaccessible, and
no ancestors of the repository are inaccessible.

steps beyond the NUL terminator) could result in such a negative

Git for Windows' SDK recently upgraded to GCC v12.x which points out
that the `pos` variable might be used even after the corresponding
memory was `realloc()`ed and therefore potentially no longer valid.
Since a subset of this SDK is used in Git's CI/PR builds, we need to fix
this to continue to be able to benefit from the CI/PR runs.
Note: This bug has been with us since 2a6b149c64 (mingw: avoid using
strbuf in syslog, 2011-10-06), and while it looks tempting to replace
the hand-rolled string manipulation with a `strbuf`-based one, that
commit's message explains why we cannot do that: The `syslog()` function
is called as part of the function in `daemon.c` which is set as the
`die()` routine, and since `strbuf_grow()` can call that function if it
runs out of memory, this would cause a nasty infinite loop that we do
not want to re-introduce.

When using a multi-pack bitmap, pack-objects will try to perform its
traversal using a call to `traverse_bitmap_commit_list()`, which calls
`add_object_entry_from_bitmap()` to add each object it finds to its
packing list.
This path can cause pack-objects to add objects from packs that don't
have open pack_fds on them, by avoiding a call to `is_pack_valid()`.
This is because we only call `is_pack_valid()` on the preferred pack (in
order to do verbatim reuse via `reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()`)
and not others when loading a MIDX bitmap.
In this case, `add_object_entry_from_bitmap()` will check whether it
wants each object entry by calling `want_object_in_pack()`, which will
call `want_found_object` (since its caller already supplied a
`found_pack`). In most cases (particularly without `--local`, and when
`ignored_packed_keep_on_disk` and `ignored_packed_keep_in_core` are
both "0"), we'll take the entry from the pack contained in the MIDX
bitmap, all without an open pack_fd.
When we then try to use that entry later to assemble the actual pack,
we'll be susceptible to any simultaneous writers moving that pack out of
the way (e.g., due to a concurrent repack) without having an open file
descriptor, causing races that result in errors like:
remote: Enumerating objects: 1498802, done.
remote: fatal: packfile ./objects/pack/pack-e57d433b5a588daa37fbe946e2b28dfaec03a93e.pack cannot be accessed
remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
This race can happen even with multi-pack bitmaps, since we may open a
MIDX bitmap that is being rewritten long before its packs are actually
unlinked.
Work around this by calling `is_pack_valid()` from within
`want_found_object()`, matching the behavior in
`want_object_in_pack_one()` (which has an analogous call). Most calls to
`is_pack_valid()` should be basically no-ops, since only the first call
requires us to open a file (subsequent calls realize the file is already
open, and return immediately).
Importantly, when `want_object_in_pack()` is given a non-NULL
`*found_pack`, but `want_found_object()` rejects the copy of the object
in that pack, we must reset `*found_pack` and `*found_offset` to NULL
and 0, respectively. Failing to do so could lead to other checks in
`want_object_in_pack()` (such as `want_object_in_pack_one()`) using the
same (invalid) pack as `*found_pack`, meaning that we don't call
`is_pack_valid()` because `p == *found_pack`. This can lead the caller
to believe it can use a copy of an object from an invalid pack.
An alternative approach to closing this race would have been to call
`is_pack_valid()` on _all_ packs in a multi-pack bitmap on load. This
has a couple of problems:
- it is unnecessarily expensive in the cases where we don't actually
need to open any packs (e.g., in `git rev-list --use-bitmap-index
--count`)
- more importantly, it means any time we would have hit this race,
we'll avoid using bitmaps altogether, leading to significant
slowdowns by forcing a full object traversal

A subsequent patch will teach `want_object_in_pack()` to set its
`*found_pack` and `*found_offset` poitners to NULL when the provided
pack does not pass the `is_pack_valid()` check.
The `--stdin-packs` mode of `pack-objects` is not quite prepared to
handle this. To prepare it for this change, do the following two things:
- Ensure provided packs pass the `is_pack_valid()` check when
collecting the caller-provided packs into the "included" and
"excluded" lists.
- Gracefully handle any _invalid_ packs being passed to
`want_object_in_pack()`.
Calling `is_pack_valid()` early on makes it substantially less likely
that we will have to deal with a pack going away, since we'll have an
open file descriptor on its contents much earlier.
But even packs with open descriptors can become invalid in the future if
we (a) hit our open descriptor limit, forcing us to close some open
packs, and (b) one of those just-closed packs has gone away in the
meantime.
`add_object_entry_from_pack()` depends on having a non-NULL
`*found_pack`, since it passes that pointer to `packed_object_info()`,
meaning that we would SEGV if the pointer became NULL (like we propose
to do in `want_object_in_pack()` in the following patch).
But avoiding calling `packed_object_info()` entirely is OK, too, since
its only purpose is to identify which objects in the included packs are
commits, so that they can form the tips of the advisory traversal used
to discover the object namehashes.
Failing to do this means that at worst we will produce lower-quality
deltas, but it does not prevent us from generating the pack as long as
we can find a copy of each object from the disappearing pack in some
other part of the repository.

Before calling `for_each_object_in_pack()`, the caller
`read_packs_list_from_stdin()` loops through each of the `include_packs`
and checks that its `->util` pointer (which is used to store the `struct
packed_git *` itself) is non-NULL.
This check is redundant, because `read_packs_list_from_stdin()` already
checks that the included packs are non-NULL earlier on in the same
function (and it does not add any new entries in between).
Remove this check, since it is not doing anything in the meantime.

When pack-objects adds an entry to its packing list, it marks the
packfile and offset containing the object, which we may later use during
verbatim reuse (c.f., `write_reused_pack_verbatim()`).
If the packfile in question is deleted in the background (e.g., due to a
concurrent `git repack`), we'll die() as a result of calling use_pack(),
unless we have an open file descriptor on the pack itself. 4c08018204
(pack-objects: protect against disappearing packs, 2011-10-14) worked
around this by opening the pack ahead of time before recording it as a
valid source for reuse.
4c08018204's treatment meant that we could tolerate disappearing packs,
since it ensures we always have an open file descriptor on any pack that
we mark as a valid source for reuse. This tightens the race to only
happen when we need to close an open pack's file descriptor (c.f., the
caller of `packfile.c::get_max_fd_limit()`) _and_ that pack was deleted,
in which case we'll complain that a pack could not be accessed and
die().
The pack bitmap code does this, too, since prior to dc1daacdcc
(pack-bitmap: check pack validity when opening bitmap, 2021-07-23) it
was vulnerable to the same race.
The MIDX bitmap code does not do this, and is vulnerable to the same
race. Apply the same treatment as dc1daacdcc to the routine responsible
for opening the multi-pack bitmap's preferred pack to close this race.
This patch handles the "preferred" pack (c.f., the section
"multi-pack-index reverse indexes" in
Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt) specially, since pack-objects
depends on reusing exact chunks of that pack verbatim in
reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap(). So if that pack cannot be loaded,
the utility of a bitmap is significantly diminished.
Similar to dc1daacdcc, we could technically just add this check in
reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap(), since it's possible to use a MIDX
.bitmap without needing to open any of its packs. But it's simpler to do
the check as early as possible, covering all direct uses of the
preferred pack. Note that doing this check early requires us to call
prepare_midx_pack() early, too, so move the relevant part of that loop
from load_reverse_index() into open_midx_bitmap_1().
Subsequent patches handle the non-preferred packs in a slightly
different fashion.

When modifying the sparse-checkout definition, the sparse-checkout
builtin calls update_sparsity() to modify the SKIP_WORKTREE bits of all
cache entries in the index. Before, we needed the index to be fully
expanded in order to ensure we had the full list of files necessary that
match the new patterns.
Insert a call to reset_sparse_directories() that expands sparse
directories that are within the new pattern list, but only far enough
that every necessary file path now exists as a cache entry. The
remaining logic within update_sparsity() will modify the SKIP_WORKTREE
bits appropriately.
This allows us to disable command_requires_full_index within the
sparse-checkout builtin. Add tests that demonstrate that we are not
expanding to a full index unnecessarily.
We can see the improved performance in the p2000 test script:
Test HEAD~1 HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000.24: git ... (sparse-v3) 2.14(1.55+0.58) 1.57(1.03+0.53) -26.6%
2000.25: git ... (sparse-v4) 2.20(1.62+0.57) 1.58(0.98+0.59) -28.2%
These reductions of 26-28% are small compared to most examples, but the
time is dominated by writing a new copy of the base repository to the
worktree and then deleting it again. The fact that the previous index
expansion was such a large portion of the time is telling how important
it is to complete this sparse index integration.

The expand_to_pattern_list() method expands sparse directory entries
to their list of contained files when either the pattern list is NULL or
the directory is contained in the new pattern list's cone mode patterns.
It is possible that the pattern list has a recursive match with a
directory 'A/B/C/' and so an existing sparse directory 'A/B/' would need
to be expanded. If there exists a directory 'A/B/D/', then that
directory should not be expanded and instead we can create a sparse
directory.
To implement this, we plug into the add_path_to_index() callback for the
call to read_tree_at(). Since we now need access to both the index we
are writing and the pattern list we are comparing, create a 'struct
modify_index_context' to use as a data transfer object. It is important
that we use the given pattern list since we will use this pattern list
to change the sparse-checkout patterns and cannot use

A future change will present a temporary, in-memory mode where the index
can both contain sparse directory entries but also not be completely
collapsed to the smallest possible sparse directories. This will be
necessary for modifying the sparse-checkout definition while using a
sparse index.
For now, convert the single-bit member 'sparse_index' in 'struct
index_state' to be a an 'enum sparse_index_mode' with three modes:
* INDEX_EXPANDED (0): No sparse directories exist. This is always the
case for repositories that do not use cone-mode sparse-checkout.
* INDEX_COLLAPSED: Sparse directories may exist. Files outside the
sparse-checkout cone are reduced to sparse directory entries whenever
possible.
* INDEX_PARTIALLY_SPARSE: Sparse directories may exist. Some file
entries outside the sparse-checkout cone may exist. Running
convert_to_sparse() may further reduce those files to sparse directory
entries.
The main reason to store this extra information is to allow
convert_to_sparse() to short-circuit when the index is already in
INDEX_EXPANDED mode but to actually do the necessary work when in
INDEX_PARTIALLY_SPARSE mode.
The INDEX_PARTIALLY_SPARSE mode will be used in an upcoming change.

This is the first change in a series to allow modifying the
sparse-checkout pattern set without expanding a sparse index to a full
one in the process. Here, we focus on the problem of expanding the
pattern set through a command like 'git sparse-checkout add <path>'
which needs to create new index entries for the paths now being written
to the worktree.
To achieve this, we need to be able to replace sparse directory entries
with their contained files and subdirectories. Once this is complete,
other code paths can discover those cache entries and write the
corresponding files to disk before committing the index.
We already have logic in ensure_full_index() that expands the index
entries, so we will use that as our base. Create a new method,
expand_index(), which takes a pattern list, but for now mostly ignores
it. The current implementation is only correct when the pattern list is
NULL as that does the same as ensure_full_index(). In fact,
ensure_full_index() is converted to a shim over expand_index().
A future update will actually implement expand_index() to its full
capabilities. For now, it is created and documented.

When investigating a test failure, the time that matters most is the
time it takes from getting aware of the failure to displaying the output
of the failing test case.
You currently have to know a lot of implementation details when
investigating test failures in the CI runs. The first step is easy: the
failed job is marked quite clearly, but when opening it, the failed step
is expanded, which in our case is the one running
`ci/run-build-and-tests.sh`. This step, most notably, only offers a
high-level view of what went wrong: it prints the output of `prove`
which merely tells the reader which test script failed.
The actually interesting part is in the detailed log of said failed
test script. But that log is shown in the CI run's step that runs
`ci/print-test-failures.sh`. And that step is _not_ expanded in the web
UI by default. It is even marked as "successful", which makes it very
easy to miss that there is useful information hidden in there.
Let's help the reader by showing the failed tests' detailed logs in the
step that is expanded automatically, i.e. directly after the test suite
failed.
This also helps the situation where the _build_ failed and the
`print-test-failures` step was executed under the assumption that the
_test suite_ failed, and consequently failed to find any failed tests.
An alternative way to implement this patch would be to source
`ci/print-test-failures.sh` in the `handle_test_failures` function to
show these logs. However, over the course of the next few commits, we
want to introduce some grouping which would be harder to achieve that
way (for example, we do want a leaner, and colored, preamble for each
failed test script, and it would be trickier to accommodate the lack of

would completely miss the verbose test output, being left mostly
puzzled with the test failures.
We are about to show the failed test cases' output in the _same_ step,
so that the user has a much easier time to figure out what was going
wrong.
But first, we must partially revert the change that tried to improve the
CI runs by combining the `Makefile` targets to build into a single
`make` invocation. That might have sounded like a good idea at the time,
but it does make it rather impossible for the CI script to determine
whether the _build_ failed, or the _tests_. If the tests were run at
all, that is.
So let's go back to calling `make` for the build, and call `make test`
separately so that we can easily detect that _that_ invocation failed,
and react appropriately.

In the test case's output, we do want newline characters, but in the XML
attributes we do not want them.
However, the `xml_attr_encode` function always adds a Line Feed at the
end (which are then encoded as `
`, even for XML attributes.
This seems not to faze Azure Pipelines' XML parser, but it still is
incorrect, so let's fix it.

The code writing JUnit XML is interspersed directly with all the code in
`t/test-lib.sh`, and it is therefore not only ill-separated, but
introducing yet another output format would make the situation even
worse.
Let's introduce an abstraction layer by hiding the JUnit XML code behind
four new functions that are supposed to be called before and after each
test and test case.
This is not just an academic exercise, refactoring for refactoring's
sake. We _actually_ want to introduce such a new output format, to
make it substantially easier to diagnose test failures in our GitHub
workflow, therefore we do need this refactoring.

In b92cb86ea1 (travis-ci: check that all build artifacts are
.gitignore-d, 2017-12-31), a function was introduced with a code style
that is different from the surrounding code: it added the opening curly
brace on its own line, when all the existing functions in the same file
cuddle that brace on the same line as the function name.
Let's make the code style consistent again.

macOS CI jobs have been occasionally flaky due to tentative version
skew between perforce and the homebrew packager. Instead of
failing the whole CI job, just let it skip the p4 tests when this
happens.
* cb/ci-make-p4-optional:
ci: use https, not http to download binaries from perforce.com
ci: reintroduce prevention from perforce being quarantined in macOS
ci: avoid brew for installing perforce
ci: make failure to find perforce more user friendly
Introduce and apply coccinelle rule to discourage an explicit
comparison between a pointer and NULL, and applies the clean-up to
the maintenance track.
* ep/maint-equals-null-cocci:
tree-wide: apply equals-null.cocci
tree-wide: apply equals-null.cocci
contrib/coccinnelle: add equals-null.cocci
"git show :<path>" learned to work better with the sparse-index
feature.
* ds/sparse-colon-path:
rev-parse: integrate with sparse index
object-name: diagnose trees in index properly
object-name: reject trees found in the index
show: integrate with the sparse index
t1092: add compatibility tests for 'git show'
Teach "git stash" to work better with sparse index entries.
* vd/sparse-stash:
unpack-trees: preserve index sparsity
stash: apply stash using 'merge_ort_nonrecursive()'
read-cache: set sparsity when index is new
sparse-index: expose 'is_sparse_index_allowed()'
stash: integrate with sparse index
stash: expand sparse-checkout compatibility testing
"git bisect" was too silent before it is ready to start computing
the actual bisection, which has been corrected.
* cd/bisect-messages-from-pre-flight-states:
bisect: output bisect setup status in bisect log
bisect: output state before we are ready to compute bisection
"git pull" without "--recurse-submodules=<arg>" made
submodule.recurse take precedence over fetch.recurseSubmodules by
mistake, which has been corrected.
* gc/pull-recurse-submodules:
pull: do not let submodule.recurse override fetch.recurseSubmodules
Trace2 documentation updates.
* js/trace2-doc-fixes:
trace2 docs: add missing full stop
trace2 docs: clarify what `varargs` is all about
trace2 docs: fix a JSON formatted example
trace2 docs: surround more terms in backticks
trace2 docs: "printf" is not an English word
trace2 docs: a couple of grammar fixes
