a shell glob is.
This paragraph is updated to roughly tell (or remind) what the main
wildcards are supposed to do. All the details are still hidden away

Add an EXPENSIVE_ON_WINDOWS prerequisite to mark those tests which are
very expensive to run on Windows, but cheap elsewhere.
Certain tests that heavily stress the filesystem or run a lot of shell
commands are disproportionately expensive on Windows, this
prerequisite will later be used by a tests that runs in 4-8 seconds on

There has never been any full roundtrip testing of what git-ls-files
and other commands that use wildmatch() actually do, rather we've been
satisfied with just testing the underlying C function.
Due to git-ls-files and friends having their own codepaths before they
call wildmatch() there's sometimes differences in the behavior between
the two. Even when we test for those (as with [1]), there was no one
place where you can review how these two modes differ.
Now there is. We now attempt to create a file called $haystack and
match $needle against it for each pair of $needle and $haystack that
we were passing to test-wildmatch.
If we can't create the file we skip the test. This ensures that we can
run this on all platforms and not maintain some infinitely growing
whitelist of e.g. platforms that don't support certain characters in
filenames.
A notable exception to this is Windows, where due to the reasons
explained in [2] the shellscript emulation layer might fake the
creation of a file such as "*", and "test -e" for it will succeed
since it just got created with some character that maps to "*", but
git ls-files won't be fooled by this.
Thus we need to skip creating certain filenames entirely on Windows,
the list here might be overly aggressive. I don't have access to a
Windows system to test this.
As a result of doing these tests we can now see the cases where these
two ways of testing wildmatch differ:
* Creating a file called 'a[]b' and running ls-files 'a[]b' will show
that file, but wildmatch("a[]b", "a[]b") will not match
* wildmatch() won't match a file called \ against \, but ls-files
will.
* `git --glob-pathspecs ls-files 'foo**'` will match a file
'foo/bba/arr', but wildmatch won't, however pathmatch will.
This seems like a bug to me, the two are otherwise equivalent as
these tests show.
This also reveals the case discussed in [1], since 2.16.0 '' is now an
error as far as ls-files is concerned, but wildmatch() itself happily
accepts it.

Rewrite the wildmatch() test suite so that each test now tests all
combinations of the wildmatch() WM_CASEFOLD and WM_PATHNAME flags.
Before this change some test inputs were not tested on
e.g. WM_PATHNAME. Now the function is stress tested on all possible
inputs, and for each input we declare what the result should be if the
mode is case-insensitive, or pathname matching, or case-sensitive or
not matching pathnames.
Also before this change, nothing was testing case-insensitive
non-pathname matching, so I've added that to test-wildmatch.c and made
use of it.
This yields a rather scary patch, but there are no functional changes
here, just more test coverage. Some now-redundant tests were deleted
as a result of this change, since they were now duplicating an earlier

The 32 bit Linux build job runs in a Docker container, which lends
itself to running and debugging locally, too. Especially during
debugging one usually doesn't want to start with a fresh container
every time, to save time spent on installing a bunch of dependencies.
However, that doesn't work quite smootly, because the script running
in the container always creates a new user, which then must be removed
every time before subsequent executions, or the build script fails.
Make this process more convenient and don't try to create that user if
it already exists and has the right user ID in the container, so
developers don't have to bother with running a 'userdel' each time
before they run the build script.
The build job on Travis CI always starts with a fresh Docker
container, so this change doesn't make a difference there.

Travis CI runs the 32 bit Linux build job in a Docker container, where
all commands are executed as root by default. Therefore, ever since
we added this build job in 88dedd5e7 (Travis: also test on 32-bit
Linux, 2017-03-05), we have a bit of code to create a user in the
container matching the ID of the host user and then to run the test
suite as this user. Matching the host user ID is important, because
otherwise the host user would have no access to any files written by
processes running in the container, notably the logs of failed tests
couldn't be included in the build job's trace log.
Alas, this piece of code never worked, because it sets the variable
holding the user name ($CI_USER) in a subshell, meaning it doesn't
have any effect by the time we get to the point to actually use the
variable to switch users with 'su'. So all this time we were running
the test suite as root.
Reorganize that piece of code in 'ci/run-linux32-build.sh' a bit to
avoid that problematic subshell and to ensure that we switch to the
right user. Furthermore, make the script's optional host user ID
option mandatory, so running the build accidentally as root will
become harder when debugging locally. If someone really wants to run
the test suite as root, whatever the reasons might be, it'll still be
possible to do so by explicitly passing '0' as host user ID.
Finally, one last catch: since commit 7e72cfcee (travis-ci: save prove
state for the 32 bit Linux build, 2017-12-27) the 'prove' test harness
has been writing its state to the Travis CI cache directory from
within the Docker container while running as root. After this patch
'prove' will run as a regular user, so in future build jobs it won't
be able overwrite a previously written, still root-owned state file,
resulting in build job failures. To resolve this we should manually
delete caches containing such root-owned files, but that would be a
hassle. Instead, work this around by changing the owner of the whole
contents of the cache directory to the host user ID.

Some of our 'ci/*' scripts repeat the name or full path of the Travis
CI cache directory, and the following patches will add new places
using that path.
Use a variable to refer to the path of the cache directory instead, so
it's hard-coded only in a single place.
Pay extra attention to the 32 bit Linux build: it runs in a Docker
container, so pass the path of the cache directory from the host to
the container in an environment variable. Note that an environment
variable passed this way is exported inside the container, therefore
its value is directly available in the 'su' snippet even though that
snippet is single quoted. Furthermore, use the variable in the
container only if it's been assigned a non-empty value, to prevent
errors when someone is running or debugging the Docker build locally,
because in that case the variable won't be set as there won't be any
Travis CI cache.

The script 'ci/run-linux32-build.sh' running inside the Docker
container of the 32 bit Linux build job uses an && chain to break the
build if one of the commands fails. This is problematic for two
reasons:
- The && chain is broken, because there is this in the middle:
test -z $HOST_UID || (CI_USER="ci" && useradd -u $HOST_UID $CI_USER) &&
Luckily it is broken in a way that it didn't lead to false
successes. If installing dependencies fails, then the rest of the
first && chain is skipped and execution resumes after the ||
operator. At that point $HOST_UID is still unset, causing
'useradd' to error out with "invalid user ID 'ci'", which in turn
causes the second && chain to abort the script and thus break the
build.
- All other 'ci/*' scripts use 'set -e' to break the build if one of
the commands fails. This inconsistency among these scripts is
asking for trouble: I forgot about the && chain more than once
while working on this patch series.
Enable 'set -e' for the whole script and for the commands executed
under 'su' as well.
While touching every line in the 'su' command block anyway, change
their indentation to use a tab instead of spaces.

When git-daemon gets a pktline request, we strip off any
trailing newline, replacing it with a NUL. Clients prior to
5ad312bede (in git v1.4.0) would send:
git-upload-pack repo.git\n
and we need to strip it off to understand their request.
After 5ad312bede, we send the host attribute but no newline,
like:
git-upload-pack repo.git\0host=example.com\0
Both of these are parsed correctly by git-daemon. But if
some client were to combine the two:
git-upload-pack repo.git\n\0host=example.com\0
we don't parse it correctly. The problem is that we use the
"len" variable to record the position of the NUL separator,
but then decrement it when we strip the newline. So we start
with:
git-upload-pack repo.git\n\0host=example.com\0
^-- len
and end up with:
git-upload-pack repo.git\0\0host=example.com\0
^-- len
This is arguably correct, since "len" tells us the length of
the initial string, but we don't actually use it for that.
What we do use it for is finding the offset of the extended
attributes; they used to be at len+1, but are now at len+2.
We can solve that by just leaving "len" where it is. We
don't have to care about the length of the shortened string,
since we just treat it like a C string.
No version of Git ever produced such a string, but it seems
like the daemon code meant to handle this case (and it seems
like a reasonable thing for somebody to do in a 3rd-party
implementation).

All of our git-protocol tests rely on invoking the client
and having it make a request of a server. That gives a nice
real-world test of how the two behave together, but it
doesn't leave any room for testing how a server might react
to _other_ clients.
Let's add a few test helper functions which can be used to
manually conduct a git-protocol conversation with a remote
git-daemon:
1. To connect to a remote git-daemon, we need something
like "netcat". But not everybody will have netcat. And
even if they do, the behavior with respect to
half-duplex shutdowns is not portable (openbsd netcat
has "-N", with others you must rely on "-q 1", which is
racy).
Here we provide a "fake_nc" that is capable of doing
a client-side netcat, with sane half-duplex semantics.
It relies on perl's IO::Socket::INET. That's been in
the base distribution since 5.6.0, so it's probably
available everywhere. But just to be on the safe side,
we'll add a prereq.
2. To help tests speak and read pktline, this patch adds
packetize() and depacketize() functions.
I've put fake_nc() into lib-git-daemon.sh, since that's
really the only server where we'd need to use a network
socket. Whereas the pktline helpers may be of more general
use, so I've added them to test-lib-functions.sh. Programs
like upload-pack speak pktline, but can talk directly over
stdio without a network socket.

If we receive a request with extended attributes after the
NUL, we try to write those attributes to the log. We do so
with a "%s" format specifier, which will only show
characters up to the first NUL.
That's enough for printing a "host=" specifier. But since
dfe422d04d (daemon: recognize hidden request arguments,
2017-10-16) we may have another NUL, followed by protocol
parameters, and those are not logged at all.
Let's cut out the attempt to show the whole string, and
instead log when we parse individual attributes. We could
leave the "extended attributes (%d bytes) exist" part of the
log, which in theory could alert us to attributes that fail
to parse. But anything we don't parse as a "host=" parameter
gets blindly added to the "protocol" attribute, so we'd see
it in that part of the log.

If receive a request like:
git-upload-pack /foo.git\0host=localhost
we mark the offset of the NUL byte as "len", and then log
the bytes after the NUL with a "%.*s" placeholder, using
"pktlen - len" as the length, and "line + len + 1" as the
start of the string.
This is off-by-one, since the start of the string skips past
the separating NUL byte, but the adjusted length includes
it. Fortunately this doesn't actually read past the end of
the buffer, since "%.*s" will stop when it hits a NUL. And
regardless of what is in the buffer, packet_read() will
always add an extra NUL terminator for safety.
As an aside, the git.git client sends an extra NUL after a
"host" field, too, so we'd generally hit that one first, not
the one added by packet_read(). You can see this in the test
output which reports 15 bytes, even though the string has
only 14 bytes of visible data. But the point is that even a
client sending unusual data could not get us to read past
the end of the buffer, so this is purely a cosmetic fix.

When we start git-daemon for our tests, we send its stderr
log stream to a named pipe. We synchronously read the first
line to make sure that the daemon started, and then dump the
rest to descriptor 4. This is handy for debugging test
output with "--verbose", but the tests themselves can't
access the log data.
Let's dump the log into a file, as well, so that future
tests can check the log. There are a few subtleties worth
calling out here:
- we'll continue to send output to descriptor 4 for
viewing/debugging, which would imply swapping out "cat"
for "tee". But we want to ensure that there's no
buffering, and "tee" doesn't have a standard way to
ask for that. So we'll use a shell loop around "read"
and "printf" instead. That ensures that after a request
has been served, the matching log entries will have made
it to the file.
- the existing first-line shell loop used read/echo. We'll
switch to consistently using "read -r" and "printf" to
relay data as faithfully as possible.
- we open the logfile for append, rather than just output.
That makes it OK for tests to truncate the logfile
without restarting the daemon (the OS will atomically
seek to the end of the file when outputting each line).
That allows tests to look at the log without worrying
about pollution from earlier tests.

We don't actually create zero-length `packed-refs` files, but they are
valid and we should handle them correctly. The old code `xmmap()`ed
such files, which led to an error when `munmap()` was called. So, if
the `packed-refs` file is empty, leave the snapshot at its zero values
and return 0 without trying to read or mmap the file.
Returning 0 also makes `create_snapshot()` exit early, which avoids

We can return an empty iterator not only if the `packed-refs` file is
missing, but also if it is empty or if there are no references whose
names succeed `prefix`. Optimize away those cases as well by moving
the call to `find_reference_location()` higher in the function and
checking whether the determined start position is the same as
`snapshot->eof`. (This is possible now because the previous commit
made `find_reference_location()` robust against empty snapshots.)

This function had two problems if called for an empty snapshot (i.e.,
`snapshot->start == snapshot->eof == NULL`):
* It checked `NULL < NULL`, which is undefined by C (albeit highly
unlikely to fail in the real world).
* (Assuming the above comparison behaved as expected), it returned
NULL when `mustexist` was false, contrary to its docstring.
Change the check and fix the docstring.

Store a pointer to the start of the actual references within the
`packed-refs` contents rather than storing the length of the header.
This is more convenient for most users of this field.

Commit 356ee4659b ("sequencer: try to commit without forking 'git
commit'", 2017-11-24) forgot to run the 'prepare-commit-msg' hook when
creating the commit. Fix this by writing the commit message to a
different file and running the hook. Using a different file means that
if the commit is cancelled the original message file is
unchanged. Also move the checks for an empty commit so the order
matches 'git commit'.
