dc944b65f1 get_sha1_with_context: dynamically allocate oc->path
When a sha1 lookup returns the tree path via "struct
object_context", it just copies it into a fixed-size buffer.
This means the result can be truncated, and it means our
"struct object_context" consumes a lot of stack space.

Instead, let's allocate a string on the heap. Because most
callers don't care about this information, we'll avoid doing
it by default (so they don't all have to start calling
free() on the result). There are basically two options for
the caller to signal to us that it's interested:

  1. By setting a pointer to storage in the object_context.

  2. By passing a flag in another parameter.

Doing (1) would match the way that sha1_object_info_extended()
works. But it would mean that every caller would have to
initialize the object_context, which they don't currently
have to do.

This patch does (2), and adds a new bit to the function's
flags field. All of the callers that look at the "path"
field are updated to pass the new flag.

c0a487eafb sha1_name: consistently refer to object_context as "oc"
An early version of the patch to add object_context used the
name object_resolve_context. This was later shortened to
just object_context, but the "orc" variable name stuck in a
few places.  Let's use "oc", which is used elsewhere in the
code.

edf3b90553 unpack-trees: preserve index extensions
Make git checkout (and other unpack_tree operations) preserve the
untracked cache. This is valuable for two reasons:

1. Often, an unpack_tree operation will not touch large parts of the
working tree, and thus most of the untracked cache will continue to be
valid.

2. Even if the untracked cache were entirely invalidated by such an
operation, the user has signaled their intention to have such a cache,
and we don't want to throw it away.

b15667bbdc Merge branch 'js/larger-timestamps'
Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our
historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot
represent some timestamp that the platform allows.  Invent a
separate and dedicated timestamp_t (so that we can distingiuish
timestamps and a vanilla ulongs, which along is already a good
move), and then declare uintmax_t is the type to be used as the
timestamp_t.

dddbad728c timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps
Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).

So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.

By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.

As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

2185fde563 config: handle conditional include when $GIT_DIR is not set up
If setup_git_directory() and friends have not been called,
get_git_dir() (because of includeIf.gitdir:XXX) would lead to

    die("BUG: setup_git_env called without repository");

There are two cases when a config file could be read before $GIT_DIR
is located.

The first one is check_repository_format(), where we read just the one
file $GIT_DIR/config to check if we could understand this
repository. This case should be safe. We do not parse include
directives, which can only be triggered from git_config_with_options,
but setup code uses a lower-level function. The concerned variables
should never be hidden away behind includes anyway.

The second one is triggered in check_pager_config() when we're about
to run an external git command. We might be able to find $GIT_DIR in
this case, which is exactly what read_early_config() does (and also is
what check_pager_config() uses). Conditional includes and
get_git_dir() could be triggered by the first
git_config_with_options() call there, before discover_git_directory()
is used as a fallback $GIT_DIR detection.

Detect this special "early reading" case, pass down the $GIT_DIR,
either from previous setup or detected by discover_git_directory(),
and make conditional include use it.

a33fc72fe9 read-cache: force_verify_index_checksum
Teach git to skip verification of the SHA1-1 checksum at the end of
the index file in verify_hdr() which is called from read_index()
unless the "force_verify_index_checksum" global variable is set.

Teach fsck to force this verification.

The checksum verification is for detecting disk corruption, and for
small projects, the time it takes to compute SHA-1 is not that
significant, but for gigantic repositories this calculation adds
significant time to every command.

These effect can be seen using t/perf/p0002-read-cache.sh:

Unfortunately, in order to push some large repos where a server does

594fa9998c odb_mkstemp: write filename into strbuf
The odb_mkstemp() function expects the caller to provide a
fixed buffer to write the resulting tempfile name into. But
it creates the template using snprintf without checking the
return value. This means we could silently truncate the
filename.

In practice, it's unlikely that the truncation would end in
the template-pattern that mkstemp needs to open the file. So
we'd probably end up failing either way, unless the path was
specially crafted.

The simplest fix would be to notice the truncation and die.
However, we can observe that most callers immediately
xstrdup() the result anyway. So instead, let's switch to
using a strbuf, which is easier for them (and isn't a big
deal for the other 2 callers, who can just strbuf_release
when they're done with it).

Note that many of the callers used static buffers, but this
was purely to avoid putting a large buffer on the stack. We
never passed the static buffers out of the function, so
there's no complicated memory handling we need to change.

892e723afd do not check odb_mkstemp return value for errors
The odb_mkstemp function does not return an error; it dies
on failure instead. But many of its callers compare the
resulting descriptor against -1 and die themselves.

Mostly this is just pointless, but it does raise a question
when looking at the callers: if they show the results of the
"template" buffer after a failure, what's in it? The answer
is: it doesn't matter, because it cannot happen.

So let's make that clear by removing the bogus error checks.
In bitmap_writer_finish(), we can drop the error-handling
code entirely. In the other two cases, it's shared with the
open() in another code path; we can just move the
error-check next to that open() call.

And while we're at it, let's flesh out the function's
docstring a bit to make the error behavior clear.

For example, passing "-a 4000" will set "istate.cache_nr"

giving 2 threads with 2000 entries each.  It will then
run both the single-threaded (1x4000) and the multi-threaded

e4da43b1f0 prefix_filename: return newly allocated string
The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static

fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the

parse_chunk()).

value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is
empty (and we could just return the original file pointer).
That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't
otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in
performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_
allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about
performance is questionable anyway).

The downside is that the callers need to remember to free()
the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used
xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The
remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate.

I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases
where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the
cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases,
though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying
about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any
situation.

116fb64e43 prefix_filename: drop length parameter
This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in
every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's
simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves
callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL
prefix).

In a handful of cases we had the length already without
calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not
likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty
we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

eaeefc3276 odb_pack_keep(): stop generating keepfile name
The odb_pack_keep() function generates the name of a .keep
file and opens it. This has two problems:

  1. It requires a fixed-size buffer to create the filename
     and doesn't notice when the result is truncated.

  2. Of the two callers, one sometimes wants to open a
     filename it already has, which makes things awkward (it
     has to do so manually, and skips the leading-directory
     creation).

Instead, let's have odb_pack_keep() just open the file.
Generating the name isn't hard, and a future patch will
switch callers over to odb_pack_name() anyway.

f18f816cb1 hash.h: move SHA-1 implementation selection into a header file
Many developers use functionality in their editors that allows for quick
syntax checks, including warning about questionable constructs.  This
functionality allows rapid development with fewer errors.  However, such
functionality generally does not allow the specification of
project-specific defines or command-line options.

Since the SHA1_HEADER include is not defined in such a case,
developers see spurious errors when using these tools.  Furthermore,
there are known implementations of "cc" whose '#include' is unhappy
with this construct.

Instead of using SHA1_HEADER, create a hash.h header and use #if
and #elif to select the desired header.  Have the Makefile pass an
appropriate option to help the header select the right implementation to
use.

[jc: make BLK_SHA1 the fallback default as discussed on list,
e.g. <20170314201424.vccij5z2ortq4a4o@sigill.intra.peff.net>; also

ce83eadd9a real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die on error
In 4ac9006f83 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and
strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path())
pattern to use real_pathdup() directly.

The problem with this change is that real_path() calls
strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls
it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path()
causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent
and returns NULL instead.

The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect
the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died
with an appropriate error message).

Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the
die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(),
and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would
handle NULLs well.

0e9f62dab9 interpret_branch_name: allow callers to restrict expansions
The interpret_branch_name() function converts names like
@{-1} and @{upstream} into branch names. The expanded ref
names are not fully qualified, and may be outside of the
refs/heads/ namespace (e.g., "@" expands to "HEAD", and
"@{upstream}" is likely to be in "refs/remotes/").

This is OK for callers like dwim_ref() which are primarily
interested in resolving the resulting name, no matter where
it is. But callers like "git branch" treat the result as a
branch name in refs/heads/.  When we expand to a ref outside
that namespace, the results are very confusing (e.g., "git
branch @" tries to create refs/heads/HEAD, which is
nonsense).

Callers can't know from the returned string how the
expansion happened (e.g., did the user really ask for a
branch named "HEAD", or did we do a bogus expansion?). One
fix would be to return some out-parameters describing the
types of expansion that occurred. This has the benefit that
the caller can generate precise error messages ("I
understood @{upstream} to mean origin/master, but that is a
remote tracking branch, so you cannot create it as a local
name").

However, out-parameters make the function interface somewhat
cumbersome. Instead, let's do the opposite: let the caller
tell us which elements to expand. That's easier to pass in,
and none of the callers give more precise error messages
than "@{upstream} isn't a valid branch name" anyway (which
should be sufficient).

The strbuf_branchname() function needs a similar parameter,
as most of the callers access interpret_branch_name()
through it.

We can break the callers down into two groups:

  1. Callers that are happy with any kind of ref in the
     result. We pass "0" here, so they continue to work
     without restrictions. This includes merge_name(),
     the reflog handling in add_pending_object_with_path(),
     and substitute_branch_name(). This last is what powers
     dwim_ref().

  2. Callers that have funny corner cases (mostly in
     git-branch and git-checkout). These need to make use of
     the new parameter, but I've left them as "0" in this
     patch, and will address them individually in follow-on
     patches.

48f8d9f732 parse_config_key: allow matching single-level config
The parse_config_key() function was introduced to make it
easier to match "section.subsection.key" variables. It also
handles the simpler "section.key", and the caller is
responsible for distinguishing the two from its
out-parameters.

Most callers who _only_ want "section.key" would just use a
strcmp(var, "section.key"), since there is no parsing
required. However, they may still use parse_config_key() if
their "section" variable isn't a constant (an example of
this is in parse_hide_refs_config).

Using the parse_config_key is a bit clunky, though:

  const char *subsection;
  int subsection_len;
  const char *key;

  if (!parse_config_key(var, section, &subsection, &subsection_len, &key) &&
      !subsection) {
	  /* matched! */
  }

Instead, let's treat a NULL subsection as an indication that
the caller does not expect one. That lets us write:

  const char *key;

  if (!parse_config_key(var, section, NULL, NULL, &key)) {
	  /* matched! */
  }

Existing callers should be unaffected, as passing a NULL
subsection would currently segfault.

341fb28621 refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = always
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).

However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than
the performance implications of keeping the log around.

This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

f6371f9210 sha1_file: add read_loose_object() function
It's surprisingly hard to ask the sha1_file code to open a
_specific_ incarnation of a loose object. Most of the
functions take a sha1, and loop over the various object
types (packed versus loose) and locations (local versus
alternates) at a low level.

However, some tools like fsck need to look at a specific
file. This patch gives them a function they can use to open
the loose object at a given path.

The implementation unfortunately ends up repeating bits of
related functions, but there's not a good way around it
without some major refactoring of the whole sha1_file stack.
We need to mmap the specific file, then partially read the
zlib stream to know whether we're streaming or not, and then
finally either stream it or copy the data to a buffer.

We can do that by assembling some of the more arcane
internal sha1_file functions, but we end up having to
essentially reimplement unpack_sha1_file(), along with the
streaming bits of check_sha1_signature().

Still, most of the ugliness is contained in the new
function, and the interface is clean enough that it may be
reusable (though it seems unlikely anything but git-fsck
would care about opening a specific file).

8de7eeb54b compression: unify pack.compression configuration parsing
There are three codepaths that use a variable whose name is
pack_compression_level to affect how objects and deltas sent to a
packfile is compressed.  Unlike zlib_compression_level that controls
the loose object compression, however, this variable was static to
each of these codepaths.  Two of them read the pack.compression
configuration variable, using core.compression as the default, and
one of them also allowed overriding it from the command line.

The other codepath in bulk-checkin did not pay any attention to the
configuration.

Unify the configuration parsing to git_default_config(), where we
implement the parsing of core.loosecompression and core.compression
and make the former override the latter, by moving code to parse
pack.compression and also allow core.compression to give default to
this variable.

b4d065df03 sha1_file: stop opening files with O_NOATIME
When we open object files, we try to do so with O_NOATIME.
This dates back to 144bde78e9 (Use O_NOATIME when opening
the sha1 files., 2005-04-23), which is an optimization to
avoid creating a bunch of dirty inodes when we're accessing
many objects.  But a few things have changed since then:

  1. In June 2005, git learned about packfiles, which means
     we would do a lot fewer atime updates (rather than one
     per object access, we'd generally get one per packfile).

  2. In late 2006, Linux learned about "relatime", which is
     generally the default on modern installs. So
     performance around atimes updates is a non-issue there
     these days.

     All the world isn't Linux, but as it turns out, Linux
     is the only platform to implement O_NOATIME in the
     first place.

So it's very unlikely that this code is helping anybody
these days.

1b8ac5ead5 git_open(): untangle possible NOATIME and CLOEXEC interactions
The way we structured the fallback/retry mechanism for opening with
O_NOATIME and O_CLOEXEC meant that if we failed due to lack of
support to open the file with O_NOATIME option (i.e. EINVAL), we
would still try to drop O_CLOEXEC first and retry, and then drop
O_NOATIME.  A platform on which O_NOATIME is defined in the header
without support from the kernel wouldn't have a chance to open with
O_CLOEXEC option due to this code structure.

Arguably, O_CLOEXEC is more important than O_NOATIME, as the latter
is mostly about performance, while the former can affect correctness.

Instead use O_CLOEXEC to open the file, and then use fcntl(2) to set
O_NOATIME on the resulting file descriptor.  open(2) itself does not
cause atime to be updated according to Linus [*1*].

The helper to do the former can be usable in the codepath in
ce_compare_data() that was recently added to open a file descriptor
with O_CLOEXEC; use it while we are at it.

Some code paths want to format multiple abbreviated sha1s in
the same output line. Because we use a single static buffer
for our return value, they have to either break their output
into several calls or allocate their own arrays and use
find_unique_abbrev_r().

Intead, let's mimic sha1_to_hex() and use a ring of several
buffers, so that the return value stays valid through
multiple calls. This shortens some of the callers, and makes
it harder to for them to make a silly mistake.

5827a03545 fetch: use "quick" has_sha1_file for tag following
When we auto-follow tags in a fetch, we look at all of the
tags advertised by the remote and fetch ones where we don't
already have the tag, but we do have the object it peels to.
This involves a lot of calls to has_sha1_file(), some of
which we can reasonably expect to fail. Since 45e8a74
(has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up,
2013-08-30), this may cause many calls to
reprepare_packed_git(), which is potentially expensive.

This has gone unnoticed for several years because it
requires a fairly unique setup to matter:

  1. You need to have a lot of packs on the client side to
     make reprepare_packed_git() expensive (the most
     expensive part is finding duplicates in an unsorted
     list, which is currently quadratic).

  2. You need a large number of tag refs on the server side
     that are candidates for auto-following (i.e., that the
     client doesn't have). Each one triggers a re-read of
     the pack directory.

  3. Under normal circumstances, the client would
     auto-follow those tags and after one large fetch, (2)
     would no longer be true. But if those tags point to
     history which is disconnected from what the client
     otherwise fetches, then it will never auto-follow, and
     those candidates will impact it on every fetch.

So when all three are true, each fetch pays an extra
O(nr_tags * nr_packs^2) cost, mostly in string comparisons
on the pack names. This was exacerbated by 47bf4b0
(prepare_packed_git_one: refactor duplicate-pack check,
2014-06-30) which uses a slightly more expensive string
check, under the assumption that the duplicate check doesn't
happen very often (and it shouldn't; the real problem here
is how often we are calling reprepare_packed_git()).

This patch teaches fetch to use HAS_SHA1_QUICK to sacrifice
accuracy for speed, in cases where we might be racy with a
simultaneous repack. This is similar to the fix in 0eeb077
(index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory,
2015-06-09). As with that case, it's OK for has_sha1_file()
occasionally say "no I don't have it" when we do, because
the worst case is not a corruption, but simply that we may
fail to auto-follow a tag that points to it.

Here are results from the included perf script, which sets
up a situation similar to the one described above:

The submodule code wants to temporarily add an alternate

38dbe5f078 alternates: store scratch buffer as strbuf
We pre-size the scratch buffer to hold a loose object
filename of the form "xx/yyyy...", which leads to allocation
code that is hard to verify. We have to use some magic
numbers during the initial allocation, and then writers must
blindly assume that the buffer is big enough. Using a strbuf
makes it more clear that we cannot overflow.

Unfortunately, we do still need some magic numbers to grow
our strbuf before calling fill_sha1_path(), but the strbuf
growth is much closer to the point of use. This makes it
easier to see that it's correct, and opens the possibility
of pushing it even further down if fill_sha1_path() learns
to work on strbufs.

597f9134de alternates: use a separate scratch space
The alternate_object_database struct uses a single buffer
both for storing the path to the alternate, and as a scratch
buffer for forming object names. This is efficient (since
otherwise we'd end up storing the path twice), but it makes
life hard for callers who just want to know the path to the
alternate. They have to remember to stop reading after
"alt->name - alt->base" bytes, and to subtract one for the
trailing '/'.

It would be much simpler if they could simply access a
NUL-terminated path string. We could encapsulate this in a
function which puts a NUL in the scratch buffer and returns
the string, but that opens up questions about the lifetime
of the result. The first time another caller uses the
alternate, the scratch buffer may get other data tacked onto
it.

Let's instead just store the root path separately from the
scratch buffer. There aren't enough alternates being stored
for the duplicated data to matter for performance, and this
keeps things simple and safe for the callers.

74866d7579 git: make super-prefix option
Add a super-prefix environment variable 'GIT_INTERNAL_SUPER_PREFIX'
which can be used to specify a path from above a repository down to its
root.  When such a super-prefix is specified, the paths reported by Git
are prefixed with it to make them relative to that directory "above".
The paths given by the user on the command line
(e.g. "git subcmd --output-file=path/to/a/file" and pathspecs) are taken
relative to the directory "above" to match.

The immediate use of this option is by commands which have a
--recurse-submodule option in order to give context to submodules about
how they were invoked.  This option is currently only allowed for
builtins which support a super-prefix.

8e3f52d778 find_unique_abbrev: move logic out of get_short_sha1()
The get_short_sha1() is only about reading short sha1s; we
do call it in a loop to check "is this long enough" for each

things like our default_abbrev setting.

So instead of asking it to set default_automatic_abbrev as a

right place to start its loop.  This requires a separate
approximate_object_count() function, but that naturally
belongs with the rest of sha1_file.c.

e6c587c733 abbrev: auto size the default abbreviation
In fairly early days we somehow decided to abbreviate object names
down to 7-hexdigits, but as projects grow, it is becoming more and
more likely to see such a short object names made in earlier days
and recorded in the log messages no longer unique.

Currently the Linux kernel project needs 11 to 12 hexdigits, while
Git itself needs 10 hexdigits to uniquely identify the objects they
have, while many smaller projects may still be fine with the
original 7-hexdigit default.  One-size does not fit all projects.

Introduce a mechanism, where we estimate the number of objects in
the repository upon the first request to abbreviate an object name
with the default setting and come up with a sane default for the
repository.  Based on the expectation that we would see collision in
a repository with 2^(2N) objects when using object names shortened
to first N bits, use sufficient number of hexdigits to cover the
number of objects in the repository.  Each hexdigit (4-bits) we add
to the shortened name allows us to have four times (2-bits) as many
objects in the repository.

65acfeacaa abbrev: add FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV to prepare for auto sizing
We'll be introducing a new way to decide the default abbreviation
length by initialising DEFAULT_ABBREV to -1 to signal the first call
to "find unique abbreviation" codepath to compute a reasonable value
based on the number of objects we have to avoid collisions.

We have long relied on DEFAULT_ABBREV being a positive concrete
value that is used as the abbreviation length when no extra
configuration or command line option has overridden it.  Some
codepaths wants to use such a positive concrete default value
even before making their first request to actually trigger the
computation for the auto sized default.

Introduce FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV and use it to the code that
attempts to align the report from "git fetch".  For now, this
macro is also used to initialize the default_abbrev variable,
but the auto-sizing code will use -1 and then use the value of
FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV as the starting point of auto-sizing.

5b33cb1fd7 get_short_sha1: make default disambiguation configurable
When we find ambiguous short sha1s, we may get a
disambiguation rule from our caller's context. But if we
don't, we fall back to treating all sha1s the same, even
though most projects will tend to refer only to commits by
their short sha1s.

This patch introduces a configuration option that lets the
user pick a different fallback (e.g., only commits). It's
possible that we may want to make this the default, but it's
a good idea to start as a config option for two reasons:

  1. It lets people experiment with this and see if it's a
     good idea (i.e., the "tend to" above is an assumption;
     we don't really know if this will break some obscure
     cases).

  2. Even if we do flip the default, it gives people an
     escape hatch if it causes problems (you can sometimes
     override it by asking for "1234^{tree}", but not all
     combinations are possible).

259942f549 get_sha1: detect buggy calls with multiple disambiguators
The get_sha1() family of functions takes a flags field, but
some of the flags are mutually exclusive. In particular, we
can only handle one disambiguating function, and the flags
quietly override each other. Let's instead detect these as
programming bugs.

Technically some of the flags are supersets of the others,
so treating COMMITTISH|TREEISH as just COMMITTISH is not
wrong, but it's a good sign the caller is confused. And
certainly asking for BLOB|TREE does not work.

We can do the check easily with some bit-twiddling, and as a
bonus, the bit-mask of disambiguators will come in handy in
a future patch.

4543926ba8 init: reset cached config when entering new repo
After we copy the templates into place, we re-read the
config in case we copied in a default config file. But since
git_config() is backed by a cache these days, it's possible
that the call will not actually touch the filesystem at all;
we need to tell it that something has changed behind the
scenes.

Note that we also need to reset the shared_repository
config. At first glance, it seems like this should probably
just be folded into git_config_clear(). But unfortunately
that is not quite right. The shared repository value may
come from config, _or_ it may have been set manually. So
only the caller who knows whether or not they set it is the
one who can clear it (and indeed, if you _do_ put it into
git_config_clear(), then many tests fail, as we have to
clear the config cache any time we set a new config
variable).

There are three tests here. The first two actually pass
already, though it's largely luck: they just don't happen to
actually read any config before we enter the new repo.

But the third one does fail without this patch; we look at
core.sharedrepository while creating the directory, but need
to make sure the value from the template config overrides
it.

b9605bc4f2 config: only read .git/config from configured repos
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.

7f5885ad2a Merge branch 'jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf' into maint
"git merge" with renormalization did not work well with
merge-recursive, due to "safer crlf" conversion kicking in when it
shouldn't.

* jc/renormalize-merge-kill-safer-crlf:
  merge: avoid "safer crlf" during recording of merge results
  convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF

d23309733a introduce hex2chr() for converting two hexadecimal digits to a character
Add and use a helper function that decodes the char value of two
hexadecimal digits.  It returns a negative number on error, avoids
running over the end of the given string and doesn't shift negative
values.

99b43a61f2 allow do_submodule_path to work even if submodule isn't checked out
Currently, do_submodule_path will attempt locating the .git directory by
using read_gitfile on <path>/.git. If this fails it just assumes the
<path>/.git is actually a git directory.

This is good because it allows for handling submodules which were cloned
in a regular manner first before being added to the superproject.

Unfortunately this fails if the <path> is not actually checked out any
longer, such as by removing the directory.

Fix this by checking if the directory we found is actually a gitdir. In
the case it is not, attempt to lookup the submodule configuration and
find the name of where it is stored in the .git/modules/ directory of
the superproject.

If we can't locate the submodule configuration, this might occur because
for example a submodule gitlink was added but the corresponding
.gitmodules file was not properly updated.  A die() here would not be
pleasant to the users of submodule diff formats, so instead, modify
do_submodule_path() to return an error code:

 - git_pathdup_submodule() returns NULL when we fail to find a path.
 - strbuf_git_path_submodule() propagates the error code to the caller.

Modify the callers of these functions to check the error code and fail
properly. This ensures we don't attempt to use a bad path that doesn't
match the corresponding submodule.

Because this change fixes add_submodule_odb() to work even if the
submodule is not checked out, update the wording of the submodule log
diff format to correctly display that the submodule is "not initialized"
instead of "not checked out"

Add tests to ensure this change works as expected.

8576fde6cb cache: add empty_tree_oid object and helper function
Similar to is_null_oid(), and is_empty_blob_sha1() add an
empty_tree_oid along with helper function is_empty_tree_oid(). For
completeness, also add an "is_empty_tree_sha1()",
"is_empty_blob_sha1()", "is_empty_tree_oid()" and "is_empty_blob_oid()"
helpers.

To ensure we only get one singleton, implement EMPTY_BLOB_SHA1_BIN as
simply getting the hash of empty_blob_oid structure.

ca79c98572 sha1_file: make packed_object_info public
Some code may have a pack/offset pair for an object, but
would like to look up more information. Using
sha1_object_info() is too heavy-weight; it starts from the
sha1 and has to find the pack again (so not only does it waste
time, it might not even find the same instance).

In some cases, this problem is solved by helpers like
get_size_from_delta(), which is used by pack-objects to take
a shortcut for objects whose packed representation has
already been found. But there's no similar function for
getting the object type, for instance. Rather than introduce
one, let's just make the whole packed_object_info() available.
It is smart enough to spend effort only on the items the
caller wants.

27b5c1a065 provide an initializer for "struct object_info"
An all-zero initializer is fine for this struct, but because
the first element is a pointer, call sites need to know to
use "NULL" instead of "0". Otherwise some static checkers
like "sparse" will complain; see d099b71 (Fix some sparse
warnings, 2013-07-18) for example.  So let's provide an
initializer to make this easier to get right.

But let's also comment that memset() to zero is explicitly
OK[1]. One of the callers embeds object_info in another
struct which is initialized via memset (expand_data in
builtin/cat-file.c). Since our subset of C doesn't allow
assignment from a compound literal, handling this in any
other way is awkward, so we'd like to keep the ability to
initialize by memset(). By documenting this property, it
should make anybody who wants to change the initializer
think twice before doing so.

There's one other caller of interest. In parse_sha1_header(),
we did not initialize the struct fully in the first place.
This turned out not to be a bug because the sub-function it
calls does not look at any other fields except the ones we
did initialize. But that assumption might not hold in the
future, so it's a dangerous construct. This patch switches
it to initializing the whole struct, which protects us
against unexpected reads of the other fields.

[1] Obviously using memset() to initialize a pointer
    violates the C standard, but we long ago decided that it
    was an acceptable tradeoff in the real world.
