a1c1d8170d refs_resolve_ref_unsafe: handle d/f conflicts for writes
If our call to refs_read_raw_ref() fails, we check errno to
see if the ref is simply missing, or if we encountered a
more serious error. If it's just missing, then in "write"
mode (i.e., when RESOLVE_REFS_READING is not set), this is
perfectly fine.

However, checking for ENOENT isn't sufficient to catch all
missing-ref cases. In the filesystem backend, we may also
see EISDIR when we try to resolve "a" and "a/b" exists.
Likewise, we may see ENOTDIR if we try to resolve "a/b" and
"a" exists. In both of those cases, we know that our
resolved ref doesn't exist, but we return an error (rather
than reporting the refname and returning a null sha1).

This has been broken for a long time, but nobody really
noticed because the next step after resolving without the
READING flag is usually to lock the ref and write it. But in
both of those cases, the write will fail with the same
errno due to the directory/file conflict.

There are two cases where we can notice this, though:

  1. If we try to write "a" and there's a leftover directory
     already at "a", even though there is no ref "a/b". The
     actual write is smart enough to move the empty "a" out
     of the way.

     This is reasonably rare, if only because the writing
     code has to do an independent resolution before trying
     its write (because the actual update_ref() code handles
     this case fine). The notes-merge code does this, and
     before the fix in the prior commit t3308 erroneously
     expected this case to fail.

  2. When resolving symbolic refs, we typically do not use
     the READING flag because we want to resolve even
     symrefs that point to unborn refs. Even if those unborn
     refs could not actually be written because of d/f
     conflicts with existing refs.

     You can see this by asking "git symbolic-ref" to report
     the target of a symref pointing past a d/f conflict.

We can fix the problem by recognizing the other "missing"
errnos and treating them like ENOENT. This should be safe to
do even for callers who are then going to actually write the
ref, because the actual writing process will fail if the d/f
conflict is a real one (and t1404 checks these cases).

Arguably this should be the responsibility of the
files-backend to normalize all "missing ref" errors into
ENOENT (since something like EISDIR may not be meaningful at
all to a database backend). However other callers of
refs_read_raw_ref() may actually care about the distinction;
putting this into resolve_ref() is the minimal fix for now.

The new tests in t1401 use git-symbolic-ref, which is the
most direct way to check the resolution by itself.
Interestingly we actually had a test that setup this case
already, but we only used it to verify that the funny state
could be overwritten, not that it could be resolved.

We also add a new test in t3200, as "branch -m" was the
original motivation for looking into this. What happens is
this:

  0. HEAD is pointing to branch "a"

  1. The user asks to rename "a" to "a/b".

  2. We create "a/b" and delete "a".

  3. We then try to update any worktree HEADs that point to
     the renamed ref (including the main repo HEAD). To do
     that, we have to resolve each HEAD. But now our HEAD is
     pointing at "a", and we get EISDIR due to the loose
     "a/b". As a result, we think there is no HEAD, and we
     do not update it. It now points to the bogus "a".

Interestingly this case used to work, but only accidentally.
Before 31824d180d (branch: fix branch renaming not updating
HEADs correctly, 2017-08-24), we'd update any HEAD which we
couldn't resolve. That was wrong, but it papered over the
fact that we were incorrectly failing to resolve HEAD.

So while the bug demonstrated by the git-symbolic-ref is
quite old, the regression to "branch -m" is recent.

f2515d919e t3308: create a real ref directory/file conflict
A test in t3308 wants to make sure that we don't
accidentally merge into "refs/notes/dir" when it exists as a
directory, so it does:

  mkdir .git/refs/notes/dir
  git -c core.notesRef=refs/notes/dir merge ...

and expects the second command to fail. But that
understimates the refs code, which is smart enough to remove
useless directories in the refs hierarchy. The test
succeeded only because of a bug which prevented resolving
refs/notes/dir for writing, even though an actual ref update
would succeed.

In preparation for fixing that bug, let's switch to creating
a real ref in refs/notes/dir, which is a more realistic
situation.

b3ea7dd32d sha1_loose_object_info: handle errors from unpack_sha1_rest
When a caller of sha1_object_info_extended() sets the
"contentp" field in object_info, we call unpack_sha1_rest()
but do not check whether it signaled an error.

This causes two problems:

  1. We pass back NULL to the caller via the contentp field,
     but the function returns "0" for success. A caller
     might reasonably expect after a successful return that
     it can access contentp without a NULL check and
     segfault.

     As it happens, this is impossible to trigger in the
     current code. There is exactly one caller which uses
     contentp, read_object(). And the only thing it does
     after a successful call is to return the content
     pointer to its caller, using NULL as a sentinel for
     errors. So in effect it converts the success code from
     sha1_object_info_extended() back into an error!

     But this is still worth addressing avoid problems for
     future users of "contentp".

  2. Callers of unpack_sha1_rest() are expected to close the
     zlib stream themselves on error. Which means that we're
     leaking the stream.

The problem in (1) comes from from c84a1f3ed4 (sha1_file:
refactor read_object, 2017-06-21), which added the contentp
field.  Before that, we called unpack_sha1_rest() via
unpack_sha1_file(), which directly used the NULL to signal
an error.

But note that the leak in (2) is actually older than that.
The original unpack_sha1_file() directly returned the result
of unpack_sha1_rest() to its caller, when it should have
been closing the zlib stream itself on error.

2720f6db5d fsck: handle NULL return of lookup_blob() and lookup_tree()
lookup_blob() and lookup_tree() can return NULL if they find an object
of an unexpected type.  Accessing the object member is undefined in that
case.  Cast the result to a struct object pointer instead; we can do
that because object is the first member of all object types.  This trick
is already used in other places in the code.

An error message is already shown by object_as_type(), which is called
by the lookup functions.  The walk callback functions are expected to
handle NULL object pointers passed to them, but put_object_name() needs
a valid object, so avoid calling it without one.

03b95333db entry.c: update cache entry only for existing files
In 2841e8f ("convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocol",
2017-06-30) we taught the filter process protocol to delay responses.

That means an external filter might answer in the first write_entry()
call on a file that requires filtering  "I got your request, but I
can't answer right now. Ask again later!". As Git got no answer, we do
not write anything to the filesystem. Consequently, the lstat() call in
the finish block of the function writes garbage to the cache entry.
The garbage is eventually overwritten when the filter answers with
the final file content in a subsequent write_entry() call.

Fix the brief time window of garbage in the cache entry by adding a
special finish block that does nothing for delayed responses. The cache
entry is written properly in a subsequent write_entry() call where
the filter responds with the final file content.

bea4dbeafd ref-filter.c: pass empty-string as NULL to atom parsers
Peff points out that different atom parsers handle the empty
"sub-argument" list differently. An example of this is the format
"%(refname:)".

Since callers often use `string_list_split` (which splits the empty
string with any delimiter as a 1-ary string_list containing the empty
string), this makes handling empty sub-argument strings non-ergonomic.

Let's fix this by declaring that atom parser implementations must
not care about distinguishing between the empty string "%(refname:)"
and no sub-arguments "%(refname)".  Current code aborts, either with
"unrecognised arg" (e.g. "refname:") or "does not take args"
(e.g. "body:") as an error message.

e0222159fa strbuf doc: reuse after strbuf_release is fine
strbuf_release leaves the strbuf in a valid, initialized state, so
there is no need to call strbuf_init after it.

Moreover, this is not likely to change in the future: strbuf_release
leaving the strbuf in a valid state has been easy to maintain and has
been very helpful for Git's robustness and simplicity (e.g.,
preventing use-after-free vulnerabilities).

Document the semantics so the next generation of Git developers can
become familiar with them without reading the implementation.  It is
still not advisable to call strbuf_release too often because it is
wasteful, so add a note pointing to strbuf_reset for that.

The same semantics apply to strbuf_detach.  Add a similar note to its
docstring to make that clear.

a9155c50bd branch: reset instead of release a strbuf
Our documentation advises to not re-use a strbuf, after strbuf_release
has been called on it. Use the proper reset instead.

Currently 'strbuf_release' releases and re-initializes the strbuf, so it
is safe, but slow. 'strbuf_reset' only resets the internal length variable,
such that this could also be accounted for as a micro-optimization.

2944a94c6b sub-process: use child_process.args instead of child_process.argv
Currently the argv is only allocated on the stack, and then assigned to
process->argv.  When the start_subprocess function goes out of scope,
the local argv variable is eliminated from the stack, but the pointer is
still kept around in process->argv.

Much later when we try to access the same process->argv in
finish_command, this leads us to access a memory location that no longer
contains what we want.  As argv0 is only used for printing errors, this
is not easily noticed in normal git operations.  However when running
t0021-conversion.sh through valgrind, valgrind rightfully complains:

These days, the child_process structure has its own args array, and

51bfb734df http-push: fix construction of hex value from path
The get_oid_hex_from_objpath takes care of creating a oid from a
pathname.  It does this by memcpy'ing the first two bytes of the path to
the "hex" string, then skipping the '/', and then copying the rest of the
path to the "hex" string.  Currently it fails to increase the pointer to
the hex string, so the second memcpy invocation just mashes over what
was copied in the first one, and leaves the last two bytes in the string
uninitialized.

This breaks valgrind in t5540, although the test passes without
valgrind:

33f3c683ec setup: update error message to be more meaningful
The error message shown when a flag is found when expecting a
filename wasn't clear as it didn't communicate what was wrong
using the 'suitable' words in *all* cases.

        $ git ls-files
        README.md
        test-file

Correct case,

        $ git rev-parse README.md --flags
        README.md
        --flags
        fatal: bad flag '--flags' used after filename

Incorrect case,

        $ git grep "some random regex" -n
        fatal: bad flag '-n' used after filename

The above case is incorrect as "some random regex" isn't a filename
in this case.

Change the error message to be general and communicative. This results
in the following output,

        $ git rev-parse README.md --flags
        README.md
        --flags
        fatal: option '--flags' must come before non-option arguments

The error messages shown when the branch command is misused

That's because it used the the phrase "too many branches"
assuming all parameters to be "valid" branch names. It's not
always the case as exemplified below,

        $ git branch

        $ git branch -m foo foo old

Change the messages to be more general thus making no assumptions

6be4595edb color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config
It can be handy to use `--color=always` (or it's synonym
`--color`) on the command-line to convince a command to
produce color even if it's stdout isn't going to the
terminal or a pager.

What's less clear is whether it makes sense to set config
variables like color.ui to `always`. For a one-shot like:

  git -c color.ui=always ...

it's potentially useful (especially if the command doesn't
directly support the `--color` option). But setting `always`
in your on-disk config is much muddier, as you may be
surprised when piped commands generate colors (and send them
to whatever is consuming the pipe downstream).

Some people have done this anyway, because:

  1. The documentation for color.ui makes it sound like
     using `always` is a good idea, when you almost
     certainly want `auto`.

  2. Traditionally not every command (and especially not
     plumbing) respected color.ui in the first place. So
     the confusion came up less frequently than it might
     have.

The situation changed in 136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui
in git_default_config(), 2017-07-13), which negated point
(2): now scripts using only plumbing commands (like
add-interactive) are broken by this setting.

That commit was fixing real issues (e.g., by making
`color.ui=never` work, since `auto` is the default), so we
don't want to just revert it.  We could turn `always` into a
noop in plumbing commands, but that creates a hard-to-explain
inconsistency between the plumbing and other commands.

Instead, let's just turn `always` into `auto` for all config.
This does break the "one-shot" config shown above, but again,
we're probably better to have simple and consistent rules than
to try to special-case command-line config.

There is one place where `always` should retain its meaning:
on the command line, `--color=always` should continue to be
the same as `--color`, overriding any isatty checks. Since the
command-line parser also depends on git_config_colorbool(), we
can use the existence of the "var" string to deterine whether
we are serving the command-line or the config.

0c88bf5050 provide --color option for all ref-filter users
When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd
(ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors,
2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off
and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so
with --color/--no-color.

But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of
ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the
"color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands
the usual color command-line options.

This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the
config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always"
changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing
color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

c5bdfe677c t6006: drop "always" color config tests
We test the %C() format placeholders with a variety of
color-inducing options, including "--color" and
"-c color.ui=always". In preparation for the behavior of
"always" changing, we need to do something with those
"always" tests.

We can drop ones that expect "always" to turn on color even
to a file, as that will become a synonym for "auto", which
is already tested.

For the "--no-color" test, we need to make sure that color
would otherwise be shown. To do this, we can use
test_terminal, which enables colors in the default setup.

To check that "status -v" respects diff config, we set
"color.diff" and look at the output of "status". We could
equally well use any diff config. Since color output depends
on a lot of other factors (like whether stdout is a tty, and
how we interpret "always"), let's use a more mundane option.

This script tests the output of status with various formats
when color is enabled. It uses the "always" setting so that
the output is valid even though we capture it in a file.
Using test_terminal gives us a more realistic environment,
and prepares us for the behavior of "always" changing.

Arguably we are testing less than before, since "auto" is
already the default, and we can no longer tell if the config
is actually doing anything.

8552972b13 t3701: use test-terminal to collect color output
When testing whether "add -p" can generate colors, we set
color.ui to "always". This isn't a very good test, as in the
real-world a user typically has "auto" coupled with stdout
going to a terminal (and it's plausible that this could mask
a real bug in add--interactive if we depend on plumbing's
isatty check).

Let's switch to test_terminal, which gives us a more
realistic environment. This also prepare us for future
changes to the "always" color option.

e433749d86 test-terminal: set TERM=vt100
The point of the test-terminal script is to simulate in the
test scripts an environment where output is going to a real
terminal.

But since test-lib.sh also sets TERM=dumb, the simulation
isn't very realistic. The color code will skip auto-coloring
for TERM=dumb, leading to us liberally sprinkling

  test_terminal env TERM=vt100 git ...

through the test suite to convince the tests to actually
generate colors. Let's set TERM for programs run under
test_terminal, which is one less thing for test-writers to
remember.

In most cases the callers can be simplified, but note there
is one interesting case in t4202. It uses test_terminal to
check the auto-enabling of --decorate, but the expected
output _doesn't_ contain colors (because TERM=dumb
suppresses them). Using TERM=vt100 is closer to what the
real world looks like; adjust the expected output to match.
