"git checkout" failed to catch an error from fstat() after updating
a path in the working tree.
* mt/entry-fstat-fallback-fix:
entry: check for fstat() errors after checkout
In 11179eb311 ("entry.c: check if file exists after checkout",
2017-10-05) we started checking the result of the lstat() call done
after writing a file, to avoid writing garbage to the corresponding
cache entry. However, the code skips calling lstat() if it's possible
to use fstat() when it still has the file descriptor open. And when
calling fstat() we don't do the same error checking. To fix that, let
the callers of fstat_output() know when fstat() fails. In this case,
write_entry() will try to use lstat() and properly report an error if
that fails as well.

Now that we have the codebase wired up to pass any additional metadata
to filters, let's collect the additional metadata that we'd like to
pass.
The two main places we pass this metadata are checkouts and archives.
In these two situations, reading HEAD isn't a valid option, since HEAD
isn't updated for checkouts until after the working tree is written and
archives can accept an arbitrary tree. In other situations, HEAD will
usually reflect the refname of the branch in current use.
We pass a smaller amount of data in other cases, such as git cat-file,
where we can really only logically know about the blob.
This commit updates only the parts of the checkout code where we don't
use unpack_trees. That function and callers of it will be handled in a
future commit.
In the archive code, we leak a small amount of memory, since nothing we
pass in the archiver argument structure is freed.

There are a variety of situations where a filter process can make use of
some additional metadata. For example, some people find the ident
filter too limiting and would like to include the commit or the branch
in their smudged files. This information isn't available during
checkout as HEAD hasn't been updated at that point, and it wouldn't be
available in archives either.
Let's add a way to pass this metadata down to the filter. We pass the
blob we're operating on, the treeish (preferring the commit over the
tree if one exists), and the ref we're operating on. Note that we won't
pass this information in all cases, such as when renormalizing or when
we're performing diffs, since it doesn't make sense in those cases.
The data we currently get from the filter process looks like the
following:
command=smudge
pathname=git.c
0000
With this change, we'll get data more like this:
command=smudge
pathname=git.c
refname=refs/tags/v2.25.1
treeish=c522f061d551c9bb8684a7c3859b2ece4499b56b
blob=7be7ad34bd053884ec48923706e70c81719a8660
0000
There are a couple things to note about this approach. For operations
like checkout, treeish will always be a commit, since we cannot check
out individual trees, but for other operations, like archive, we can end
up operating on only a particular tree, so we'll provide only a tree as
the treeish. Similar comments apply for refname, since there are a
variety of cases in which we won't have a ref.
This commit wires up the code to print this information, but doesn't
pass any of it at this point. In a future commit, we'll have various
code paths pass the actual useful data down.

Recently added check for case smashing filesystems did not
correctly utilize the cached stat information, leading to false
breakage detected by our test suite, which has been corrected.
* nd/clone-case-smashing-warning:
clone: fix colliding file detection on APFS
Commit b878579ae7 (clone: report duplicate entries on case-insensitive
filesystems - 2018-08-17) adds a warning to user when cloning a repo
with case-sensitive file names on a case-insensitive file system. The
"find duplicate file" check was doing by comparing inode number (and
only fall back to fspathcmp() when inode is known to be unreliable
because fspathcmp() can't cover all case folding cases).
The inode check is very simple, and wrong. It compares between a
32-bit number (sd_ino) and potentially a 64-bit number (st_ino). When
an inode is larger than 2^32 (which seems to be the case for APFS), it
will be truncated and stored in sd_ino, but comparing with itself will
fail.
As a result, instead of showing a pair of files that have the same
name, we show just one file (marked before the beginning of the
loop). We fail to find the original one.
The fix could be just a simple type cast (*)
dup->ce_stat_data.sd_ino == (unsigned int)st->st_ino
but this is no longer a reliable test, there are 4G possible inodes
that can match sd_ino because we only match the lower 32 bits instead
of full 64 bits.
There are two options to go. Either we ignore inode and go with
fspathcmp() on Apple platform. This means we can't do accurate inode
check on HFS anymore, or even on APFS when inode numbers are still
below 2^32.
Or we just to to reduce the odds of matching a wrong file by checking
more attributes, counting mostly on st_size because st_xtime is likely
the same. This patch goes with this direction, hoping that false
positive chances are too small to be seen in practice.
While at there, enable the test on Cygwin (verified working by Ramsay
Jones)

One of the problems with "git checkout" is that it does so many
different things and could confuse people specially when we fail to
handle ambiguation correctly.
One way to help with that is tell the user what sort of operation is
actually carried out. When switching branches, we always print
something unless --quiet, either
- "HEAD is now at ..."
- "Reset branch ..."
- "Already on ..."
- "Switched to and reset ..."
- "Switched to a new branch ..."
- "Switched to branch ..."
Checking out paths however is silent. Print something so that if we
got the user intention wrong, they won't waste too much time to find
that out. For the remaining cases of checkout we now print either
- "Checked out ... paths out of the index"
- "Checked out ... paths out of <abbrev hash>"
Since the purpose of printing this is to help disambiguate. Only do it
when "--" is missing.

Running "git clone" against a project that contain two files with
pathnames that differ only in cases on a case insensitive
filesystem would result in one of the files lost because the
underlying filesystem is incapable of holding both at the same
time. An attempt is made to detect such a case and warn.
* nd/clone-case-smashing-warning:
clone: report duplicate entries on case-insensitive filesystems
Paths that only differ in case work fine in a case-sensitive
filesystems, but if those repos are cloned in a case-insensitive one,
you'll get problems. The first thing to notice is "git status" will
never be clean with no indication what exactly is "dirty".
This patch helps the situation a bit by pointing out the problem at
clone time. Even though this patch talks about case sensitivity, the
patch makes no assumption about folding rules by the filesystem. It
simply observes that if an entry has been already checked out at clone
time when we're about to write a new path, some folding rules are
behind this.
In the case that we can't rely on filesystem (via inode number) to do
this check, fall back to fspathcmp() which is not perfect but should
not give false positives.
This patch is tested with vim-colorschemes and Sublime-Gitignore
repositories on a JFS partition with case insensitive support on

The write_entry() function switches on the mode of the entry
we're going to write out. The cases for S_IFLNK and S_IFREG
are lumped together. In earlier versions of the code, this
made some sense. They have a shared preamble (which reads
the blob content), a short type-specific body, and a shared
conclusion (which writes out the file contents; always for
S_IFREG and only sometimes for S_IFLNK).
But over time this has grown to make less sense. The preamble
now has conditional bits for each type, and the S_IFREG body
has grown a lot more complicated. It's hard to follow the
logic of which code is running for which mode.
Let's give each mode its own case arm. We will still share
the conclusion code, which means we now jump to it with a
goto. Ideally we'd pull that shared code into its own
function, but it touches so much internal state in the
write_entry() function that the end result is actually
harder to follow than the goto.
While we're here, we'll touch up a few bits of whitespace to
make the beginning and endings of the cases easier to read.

In 2841e8f ("convert: add "status=delayed" to filter process protocol",

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.

When the index is read from disk, the fsmonitor index extension is used
to flag the last known potentially dirty index entries. The registered
core.fsmonitor command is called with the time the index was last
updated and returns the list of files changed since that time. This list
is used to flag any additional dirty cache entries and untracked cache
directories.
We can then use this valid state to speed up preload_index(),
ie_match_stat(), and refresh_cache_ent() as they do not need to lstat()
files to detect potential changes for those entries marked
CE_FSMONITOR_VALID.
In addition, if the untracked cache is turned on valid_cached_dir() can
skip checking directories for new or changed files as fsmonitor will
invalidate the cache only for those directories that have been
identified as having potential changes.
To keep the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID state accurate during git operations;
when git updates a cache entry to match the current state on disk,
it will now set the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit.

is cleared and the corresponding untracked cache directory is marked

These responses are processed after the "Checking out files" phase.
If the processing takes noticeable time, then the user might think Git

Display the progress of the delayed responses to let the user know that
Git is still processing objects. This works very well for objects that
can be filtered quickly. If filtering of an individual object takes
noticeable time, then the user might still think that Git is stuck.
However, in that case the user would at least know what Git is doing.
It would be technical more correct to display "Checking out files whose
content filtering has been delayed". For brevity we only print
"Filtering content".

Some `clean` / `smudge` filters may require a significant amount of
time to process a single blob (e.g. the Git LFS smudge filter might
perform network requests). During this process the Git checkout
operation is blocked and Git needs to wait until the filter is done to
continue with the checkout.
Teach the filter process protocol, introduced in edcc8581 ("convert: add
filter.<driver>.process option", 2016-10-16), to accept the status
"delayed" as response to a filter request. Upon this response Git
continues with the checkout operation. After the checkout operation Git
calls "finish_delayed_checkout" which queries the filter for remaining
blobs. If the filter is still working on the completion, then the filter
is expected to block. If the filter has completed all remaining blobs
then an empty response is expected.
Git has a multiple code paths that checkout a blob. Support delayed
checkouts only in `clone` (in unpack-trees.c) and `checkout` operations
for now. The optimization is most effective in these code paths as all
files of the tree are processed.

PATH_MAX can cause buffer overflow. Replace it with strbuf to handle
paths of arbitrary length.
The OS may reject if the path is too long though. But in that case we
report the cause (e.g. name too long) and usually move on to checking
out the next entry.

There are only four (with some generous rounding) instances in the
current source code where we speak of "subproject" instead of
"submodule". They are as follows:
* one error message in git-apply and two in entry.c
* the patch format for submodule changes
The latter was introduced in 0478675 (Expose subprojects as special
files to "git diff" machinery, 2007-04-15), apparently before the
terminology was settled. We can of course not change the patch
format.
Let's at least change the error messages to consistently call them
"submodule".
