7550424804 name-rev: include taggerdate in considering the best name
We most likely want the oldest tag that contained the commit to be
reported. So let's remember the taggerdate, and make it more important
than anything else when choosing the best name for a given commit.

Suggested by Linus Torvalds.

Note that we need to update t9903 because it tested for the old behavior
(which preferred the description "b1~1" over "tags/t2~1").

We might want to introduce a --heed-taggerdate option, and make the new
behavior dependent on that, if it turns out that some scripts rely on the
old name-rev method.

c4b27511ab t5504: drop sigpipe=ok from push tests
These were added by 8bf4bec (add "ok=sigpipe" to
test_must_fail and use it to fix flaky tests, 2015-11-27)
because we would racily die via SIGPIPE when the pack was
rejected by the other side.

But since we have recently de-flaked send-pack, we should be
able to tighten up these tests (including re-adding the
expected output checks).

df85757244 fetch-pack: isolate sigpipe in demuxer thread
In commit 9ff18fa (fetch-pack: ignore SIGPIPE in sideband
demuxer, 2016-02-24), we started using sigchain_push() to
ignore SIGPIPE in the async demuxer thread. However, this is
rather clumsy, as it ignores SIGPIPE for the entire process,
including the main thread. At the time we didn't have any
per-thread signal support, but we now we do. Let's use it.

3e8b06d09c send-pack: isolate sigpipe in demuxer thread
If we get an error from pack-objects, we may exit
send_pack() early, before reading the server's status
response. In such a case, we may racily see SIGPIPE from our
async demuxer (which is trying to write that status back to
us), and we'd prefer to continue pushing the error up the
call stack, rather than taking down the whole process with
signal death.

This is safe to do because our demuxer just calls
recv_sideband, whose data writes are all done with
write_or_die(), which will notice SIGPIPE.

We do also write sideband 2 to stderr, and we would no
longer die on SIGPIPE there (if it were piped in the first
place, and if the piped program went away). But that's
probably a good thing, as it likewise should not abort the
push process at all (neither immediately by signal, nor
eventually by reporting failure back to the main thread).

c792d7b6ce run-command: teach async threads to ignore SIGPIPE
Async processes can be implemented as separate forked
processes, or as threads (depending on the NO_PTHREADS
setting). In the latter case, if an async thread gets
SIGPIPE, it takes down the whole process. This is obviously
bad if the main process was not otherwise going to die, but
even if we were going to die, it means the main process does
not have a chance to report a useful error message.

There's also the small matter that forked async processes
will not take the main process down on a signal, meaning git
will behave differently depending on the NO_PTHREADS
setting.

This patch fixes it by adding a new flag to "struct async"
to block SIGPIPE just in the async thread. In theory, this
should always be on (which makes async threads behave more
like async processes), but we would first want to make sure
that each async process we spawn is careful about checking
return codes from write() and would not spew endlessly into
a dead pipe. So let's start with it as optional, and we can
enable it for specific sites in future patches.

The natural name for this option would be "ignore_sigpipe",
since that's what it does for the threaded case. But since
that name might imply that we are ignoring it in all cases
(including the separate-process one), let's call it
"isolate_sigpipe". What we are really asking for is
isolation. I.e., not to have our main process taken down by
signals spawned by the async process. How that is
implemented is up to the run-command code.

739cf49161 send-pack: close demux pipe before finishing async process
This fixes a deadlock on the client side when pushing a
large number of refs from a corrupted repo.  There's a
reproduction script below, but let's start with a
human-readable explanation.

The client side of a push goes something like this:

  1. Start an async process to demux sideband coming from
     the server.

  2. Run pack-objects to send the actual pack, and wait for
     its status via finish_command().

  3. If pack-objects failed, abort immediately.

  4. If pack-objects succeeded, read the per-ref status from
     the server, which is actually coming over a pipe from
     the demux process started in step 1.

We run finish_async() to wait for and clean up the demux
process in two places. In step 3, if we see an error, we
want it to end early. And after step 4, it should be done
writing any data and we are just cleaning it up.

Let's focus on the error case first. We hand the output
descriptor to the server over to pack-objects. So by the
time it has returned an error to us, it has closed the
descriptor and the server has gotten EOF. The server will
mark all refs as failed with "unpacker error" and send us
back the status for each (followed by EOF).

This status goes to the demuxer thread, which relays it over
a pipe to the main thread. But the main thread never even
tries reading the status. It's trying to bail because of the
pack-objects error, and is waiting for the demuxer thread to
finish. If there are a small number of refs, that's OK; the
demuxer thread writes into the pipe buffer, sees EOF from
the server, and quits. But if there are a large number of
refs, it may block on write() back to the main thread,
leading to a deadlock (the main thread is waiting for the
demuxer to finish, the demuxer is waiting for the main
thread to read).

We can break this deadlock by closing the pipe between the
demuxer and the main thread before calling finish_async().
Then the demuxer gets a write() error and exits.

The non-error case usually just works, because we will have
read all of the data from the other side. We do close
demux.out already, but we only do so _after_ calling
finish_async(). This is OK because there shouldn't be any
more data coming from the server. But technically we've only
read to a flush packet, and a broken or malicious server
could be sending more cruft. In such a case, we would hit
the same deadlock. Closing the pipe first doesn't affect the
normal case, and means that for a cruft-sending server,
we'll notice a write() error rather than deadlocking.

Note that when write() sees this error, we'll actually
deliver SIGPIPE to the thread, which will take down the
whole process (unless we're compiled with NO_PTHREADS). This
isn't ideal, but it's an improvement over the status quo,
which is deadlocking. And SIGPIPE handling in async threads
is a bigger problem that we can deal with separately.

A simple reproduction for the error case is below. It's
technically racy (we could exit the main process and take
down the async thread with us before it even reads the
status), though in practice it seems to fail pretty
consistently.

    git init repo &&
    cd repo &&

    # make some commits; we need two so we can simulate corruption
    # in the history later.
    git commit --allow-empty -m one &&
    one=$(git rev-parse HEAD) &&
    git commit --allow-empty -m two &&
    two=$(git rev-parse HEAD) &&

    # now make a ton of refs; our goal here is to overflow the pipe buffer
    # when reporting the ref status, which will cause the demuxer to block
    # on write()
    for i in $(seq 20000); do
    	echo "create refs/heads/this-is-a-really-long-branch-name-$i $two"
    done |
    git update-ref --stdin &&

    # now make a corruption in the history such that pack-objects will fail
    rm -vf .git/objects/$(echo $one | sed 's}..}&/}') &&

    # and then push the result
    git init --bare dst.git &&
    git push --mirror dst.git

a127331cd8 mv: allow moving nested submodules
When directories are moved using `git mv` all files in the directory
have been just moved, but no further action was taken on them. This
was done by assigning the mode = WORKING_DIRECTORY to the files
inside a moved directory.

submodules however need to update their link to the git directory as
well as updates to the .gitmodules file. By removing the condition of
`mode != INDEX` (the remaining modes are BOTH and WORKING_DIRECTORY) for
the required submodule actions, we perform these for submodules in a
moved directory.

5af297185e fsck_commit_buffer(): do not special case the last validation
The pattern taken by all the validations in this function is:

	if (notice a violation exists) {
		err = report(... VIOLATION_KIND ...);
		if (err)
			return err;
	}

where report() returns zero if specified kind of violation is set to
be ignored, and otherwise shows an error message and returns non-zero.

The last validation in the function immediately before the function
returns 0 to declare "all good" can cheat and directly return the
return value from report(), and the current code does so, i.e.

	if (notice a violation exists)
		return report(... VIOLATION_KIND ...);
	return 0;

But that is a selfish code that declares it is the ultimate and
final form of the function, never to be enhanced later.  To allow
and invite future enhancements, make the last test follow the same
pattern.

7bec7f50ae t3404: use write_script
The test uses hardcoded #!/bin/sh to create a pre-commit hook
script.  Because the generated script uses $(command substitution),
which is not supported by /bin/sh on some platforms (e.g. Solaris),
the resulting pre-commit always fails.

Which is not noticeable as the test that uses the hook is about
checking the behaviour of the command when the hook fails ;-), but
nevertheless it is not testing what we wanted to test.

Use write_script so that the resulting script is run under the same
shell our scripted Porcelain commands are run, which must support
the necessary $(construct).

a3bb8ca74c t1020: do not overuse printf and use write_script
The test prepares a sample file "dir/two" with a single incomplete
line in it with "printf", and also prepares a small helper script
"diff" to create a file with a single incomplete line in it, again
with "printf".  The output from the latter is compared with an
expected output, again prepared with "printf" hence lacking the
final LF.  There is no reason for this test to be using files with
an incomplete line at the end, and these look more like a mistake
of not using

	printf "%s\n" "string to be written"

and using

	printf "string to be written"

Depending on what would be in $GIT_PREFIX, using the latter form
could be a bug waiting to happen.  Correct them.

Also, the test uses hardcoded #!/bin/sh to create a small helper
script.  For a small task like what the generated script does, it
does not matter too much in that what appears as /bin/sh would not
be _so_ broken, but while we are at it, use write_script instead,
which happens to make the result easier to read by reducing need

ca386ee177 t5532: use write_script
The recent cleanup in b7cbbff switched t5532's use of
backticks to $(). This matches our normal shell style, which
is good. But it also breaks the test on Solaris, where
/bin/sh does not understand $().

Our normal shell style assumes a modern-ish shell which
knows about $(). However, some tests create small helper
scripts and just write "#!/bin/sh" into them. These scripts
either need to go back to using backticks, or they need to
respect $SHELL_PATH. The easiest way to do the latter is to
use write_script.

While we're at it, let's also stick the script creation
inside a test_expect block (our usual style), and split the
perl snippet into its own script (to prevent quoting
madness).

1cae428e29 git_config_set_multivar_in_file: handle "unset" errors
We pass off to the "_gently" form to do the real work, and
just die() if it returned an error. However, our die message
de-references "value", which may be NULL if the request was
to unset a variable. Nobody using glibc noticed, because it
simply prints "(null)", which is good enough for the test
suite (and presumably very few people run across this in
practice). But other libc implementations (like Solaris) may
segfault.

Let's not only fix that, but let's make the message more
clear about what is going on in the "unset" case.

9c14bb08a4 git_config_set_multivar_in_file: all non-zero returns are errors
This function is just a thin wrapper for the "_gently" form
of the function. But the gently form is designed to feed
builtin/config.c, which passes our return code directly to
its exit status, and thus uses positive error values for
some cases. We check only negative values, meaning we would
fail to die in some cases (e.g., a malformed key).

This may or may not be triggerable in practice; we tend to
use this non-gentle form only when setting internal
variables, which would not have malformed keys.

8c3ca351cb config: lower-case first word of error strings
This follows our usual style (both throughout git, and
throughout the rest of this file).

This covers the whole file, but note that I left the capitalization in
the multi-sentence:

  error: malformed value...
  error: Must be one of ...

because it helps make it clear that we are starting a new sentence in
the second one.

87f8a0b279 http: differentiate socks5:// and socks5h://
Felix Ruess <felix.ruess@gmail.com> noticed that with configuration

    $ git config --global 'http.proxy=socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080'

connections to remote sites time out, waiting for DNS resolution.

The logic to detect various flavours of SOCKS proxy and ask the
libcurl layer to use appropriate one understands the proxy string
that begin with socks5, socks4a, etc., but does not know socks5h,
and we end up using CURLPROXY_SOCKS5.  The correct one to use is
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME.

https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html says

  ..., socks5h:// (the last one to enable socks5 and asking the
  proxy to do the resolving, also known as CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME
  type).

which is consistent with the way the breakage was reported.
