f471494303 git-send-email.perl: support no- prefix with older GetOptions
Only Perl version 5.8.0 or later is required, but that comes with
an older Getopt::Long (2.32) that does not support the 'no-'
prefix.  Support for that was added in Getopt::Long version 2.33.

Since the help only mentions the 'no-' prefix and not the 'no'
prefix, add explicit support for the 'no-' prefix to support
older GetOptions versions.

f400e51c13 test-lib.sh: set prerequisite SANITY by testing what we really need
What we wanted out of the SANITY precondition is that the filesystem
behaves sensibly with permission bits settings.

 - You should not be able to remove a file in a read-only directory,

 - You should not be able to tell if a file in a directory exists if
   the directory lacks read or execute permission bits.

We used to cheat by approximating that condition with "is the /
writable?" test and/or "are we running as root?" test.  Neither test
is sufficient or appropriate in environments like Cygwin.

bd9150b7e5 t/diff-lib: check exact object names in compare_diff_raw
The "sanitize" helper wanted to strip the similarity and
dissimilarity scores when making comparison, but it was
stripping away the object names as well.

While we do not want to require the exact object names the tests
expect to be maintained, as it would be seen as an extra burden,
this would have prevented us catching a silly bug such as showing
non 0{40} object name on the preimage side of an addition or on the
postimage side of a deletion, because all [0-9a-f]{40} strings were
considered equally OK.

In the longer term, when a test only wants to see the status of the
change without having to worry about object names, it should be
rewritten not to inspect the raw format.

f2b4f0a23b t4008: correct stale comments
A complete rewrite of a single file was originally designed to be
expressed as a deletion immediately followed by a creation of the
same file, and the comments in the test updated here were written to
reflect that design decision made in f345b0a0 (Add -B flag to diff-*
brothers., 2005-05-30).  However, we later realized that a complete
rewrite is merely how a textual diff should be represented at
366175ef (Rework -B output., 2005-06-19), and updated the actual
tests.  But we forgot to update the introductory text while doing
so.

852a15d748 send-email: ask confirmation if given encoding name is very short
Sometimes people respond "y<ENTER>" (or "yes<ENTER>") when asked
this question:

    Which 8bit encoding should I declare [UTF-8]?

We already have a mechanism to avoid accepting a mistyped e-mail
address (we ask to confirm when the given address lacks "@" in it);
reuse it to trigger the same confirmation when given a very short
answer.  As a typical charset name is probably at least 4 chars or
longer (e.g. "UTF8" spelled without the dash, or "Big5"), this would
prevent such a mistake.

aab1beb0e1 transport-helper: ask the helper to set the same options for import as for fetch
A remote helper is currently only told about the 'check-connectivity',
'cloning', and 'update-shallow' options when it supports the 'fetch'
command, but not when it supports 'import' instead.

This is especially important for the 'cloning' option, because it
means a remote helper that only supports 'import' can't distinguish
between a clone and a pull besides doing some assumptions from the
git directory state.

2879bc3b0c transport-helper: ask the helper to set progress and verbosity options after asking for its capabilities
Currently, a remote helper is only told about the progress and verbosity
options for the 'fetch' and 'push' commands. This means a remote helper
that implements 'import' and 'export' can never know the user requested
progress or verbosity (or lack thereof) through the command line.

Telling the remote helper about those options after asking for its
capabilities ensures it can act accordingly for all commands.

a983e6ac58 xread/xwrite: clip MAX_IO_SIZE to SSIZE_MAX
Since 0b6806b9 (xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MB, 2013-08-20),
we chomp our calls to read(2) and write(2) into chunks of
MAX_IO_SIZE bytes (8 MiB), because a large IO results in a bad
latency when the program needs to be killed.  This also brought our
IO below SSIZE_MAX, which is a limit POSIX allows read(2) and
write(2) to fail when the IO size exceeds it, for OS X, where a
problem was originally reported.

However, there are other systems that define SSIZE_MAX smaller than
our default, and feeding 8 MiB to underlying read(2)/write(2) would
fail.  Make sure we clip our calls to the lower limit as well.

e0d201b616 apply: do not touch a file beyond a symbolic link
Because Git tracks symbolic links as symbolic links, a path that
has a symbolic link in its leading part (e.g. path/to/dir/file,
where path/to/dir is a symbolic link to somewhere else, be it
inside or outside the working tree) can never appear in a patch
that validly applies, unless the same patch first removes the
symbolic link to allow a directory to be created there.

Detect and reject such a patch.

Things to note:

 - Unfortunately, we cannot reuse the has_symlink_leading_path()
   from dir.c, as that is only about the working tree, but "git
   apply" can be told to apply the patch only to the index or to
   both the index and to the working tree.

 - We cannot directly use has_symlink_leading_path() even when we
   are applying only to the working tree, as an early patch of a
   valid input may remove a symbolic link path/to/dir and then a
   later patch of the input may create a path path/to/dir/file, but
   "git apply" first checks the input without touching either the
   index or the working tree.  The leading symbolic link check must
   be done on the interim result we compute in-core (i.e. after the
   first patch, there is no path/to/dir symbolic link and it is
   perfectly valid to create path/to/dir/file).

   Similarly, when an input creates a symbolic link path/to/dir and
   then creates a file path/to/dir/file, we need to flag it as an
   error without actually creating path/to/dir symbolic link in the
   filesystem.

Instead, for any patch in the input that leaves a path (i.e. a non
deletion) in the result, we check all leading paths against the
resulting tree that the patch would create by inspecting all the
patches in the input and then the target of patch application
(either the index or the working tree).

This way, we catch a mischief or a mistake to add a symbolic link
path/to/dir and a file path/to/dir/file at the same time, while
allowing a valid patch that removes a symbolic link path/to/dir and
then adds a file path/to/dir/file.

3c37a2e339 apply: do not read from the filesystem under --index
We currently read the preimage to apply a patch from the index only
when the --cached option is given.  Do so also when the command is
running under the --index option.  With --index, the index entry and
the working tree file for a path that is involved in a patch must be
identical, so this should not affect the result, but by reading from
the index, we will get the protection to avoid reading an unintended
path beyond a symbolic link automatically.

c536c0755f apply: reject input that touches outside the working area
By default, a patch that affects outside the working area (either a
Git controlled working tree, or the current working directory when
"git apply" is used as a replacement of GNU patch) is rejected as a
mistake (or a mischief).  Git itself does not create such a patch,
unless the user bends over backwards and specifies a non-standard
prefix to "git diff" and friends.

When `git apply` is used as a "better GNU patch", the user can pass
the `--unsafe-paths` option to override this safety check. This
option has no effect when `--index` or `--cached` is in use.

The new test was stolen from Jeff King with slight enhancements.
Note that a few new tests for touching outside the working area by
following a symbolic link are still expected to fail at this step,
but will be fixed in later steps.

5e915f3085 fast-import: avoid running end_packfile recursively
When an import has finished, we run end_packfile() to
finalize the data and move the packfile into place. If this
process fails, we call die() and end up in our die_nicely()
handler.  Which unfortunately includes running end_packfile
to save any progress we made. We enter the function again,
and start operating on the pack_data struct while it is in
an inconsistent state, leading to a segfault.

One way to trigger this is to simply start two identical
fast-imports at the same time. They will both create the
same packfiles, which will then try to create identically
named ".keep" files. One will win the race, and the other
will die(), and end up with the segfault.

Since 3c078b9, we already reset the pack_data pointer to
NULL at the end of end_packfile. That covers the case of us
calling die() right after end_packfile, before we have
reinitialized the pack_data pointer. This new problem is
quite similar, except that we are worried about calling
die() _during_ end_packfile, not right after. Ideally we
would simply set pack_data to NULL as soon as we enter the
function, and operate on a copy of the pointer.

Unfortunately, it is not so easy. pack_data is a global, and
end_packfile calls into other functions which operate on the
global directly. We would have to teach each of these to
take an argument, and there is no guarantee that we would
catch all of the spots.

Instead, we can simply use a static flag to avoid
recursively entering the function. This is a little less
elegant, but it's short and fool-proof.
