Some passwords have an expiry date known at generation. This may be
years away for a personal access token or hours for an OAuth access
token.
When multiple credential helpers are configured, `credential fill` tries
each helper in turn until it has a username and password, returning
early. If Git authentication succeeds, `credential approve`
stores the successful credential in all helpers. If authentication
fails, `credential reject` erases matching credentials in all helpers.
Helpers implement corresponding operations: get, store, erase.
The credential protocol has no expiry attribute, so helpers cannot
store expiry information. Even if a helper returned an improvised
expiry attribute, git credential discards unrecognised attributes
between operations and between helpers.
This is a particular issue when a storage helper and a
credential-generating helper are configured together:
[credential]
helper = storage # eg. cache or osxkeychain
helper = generate # eg. oauth
`credential approve` stores the generated credential in both helpers
without expiry information. Later `credential fill` may return an
expired credential from storage. There is no workaround, no matter how
clever the second helper. The user sees authentication fail (a retry
will succeed).
Introduce a password expiry attribute. In `credential fill`, ignore
expired passwords and continue to query subsequent helpers.
In the example above, `credential fill` ignores the expired password
and a fresh credential is generated. If authentication succeeds,
`credential approve` replaces the expired password in storage.
If authentication fails, the expired credential is erased by
`credential reject`. It is unnecessary but harmless for storage
helpers to self prune expired credentials.
Add support for the new attribute to credential-cache.
Eventually, I hope to see support in other popular storage helpers.

As mentioned in 'git-range-diff.txt': "`git range-diff` also accepts the
regular diff options (see linkgit:git-diff[1])...", but '--abbrev' is not
in the "regular" scope.
In Git, the "abbrev" of an object may not be a fixed value in different
repositories, depending on the needs of the them(Linus mentioned in
e6c587c7 in 2016: "the Linux kernel project needs 11 to 12 hexdigits"
at that time ), that's why a user may want to display abbrev according
to a specified length.
Although a similar effect can be achieved through configuration (like:
git -c core.abbrev=<abbrev>), but based on ease of use (many users may not
know that the -c option can be specified) and the description in existing
document, supporting users to directly use '--abbrev', could be a good way.

It can be useful to specify diff algorithms per file type. For example,
one may want to use the minimal diff algorithm for .json files, another
for .c files, etc.
The diff machinery already checks attributes for a diff driver. Teach
the diff driver parser a new type "algorithm" to look for in the
config, which will be used if a driver has been specified through the
attributes.
Enforce precedence of the diff algorithm by favoring the command line
option, then looking at the driver attributes & config combination, then
finally the diff.algorithm config.
To enforce precedence order, use a new `ignore_driver_algorithm` member
during options parsing to indicate the diff algorithm was set via command
line args.

Check that the argument to the "label" and "update-ref" commands is a
valid refname when the todo list is parsed rather than waiting until the
command is executed. This means that the user can deal with any errors
at the beginning of the rebase rather than having it stop halfway
through due to a typo in a label name. The "update-ref" command is
changed to reject single level refs as it is all to easy to type
"update-ref branch" which is incorrect rather than "update-ref
refs/heads/branch"
Note that it is not straight forward to check the arguments to "reset"
and "merge" commands as they may be any revision, not just a refname and
we do not have an equivalent of check_refname_format() for revisions.

In 647982bb71 (delta-islands: free island_marks and bitmaps, 2023-02-03)
we have introduced logic to free `island_marks` in order to reduce heap
memory usage in git-pack-objects(1). This commit is causing segfaults in
the case where this Git command does not load delta islands at all, e.g.
when reading object IDs from standard input. One such crash can be hit
when using repacking multi-pack-indices with delta islands enabled.
The root cause of this bug is that we unconditionally dereference the
`island_marks` variable even in the case where it is a `NULL` pointer,
which is fixed by making it conditional. Note that we still leave the
logic in place to set the pointer to `-1` to detect use-after-free bugs
even when there are no loaded island marks at all.

Allow users to specify the modification time of archive entries. The

overrides the default of using the current time for trees and the commit
time for tags and commits. It can be used to create a reproducible

This implementation doesn't support the negated form of the new option,
i.e. --no-mtime is not accepted. It is not possible to have no mtime at
all. We could use the Unix epoch or revert to the default behavior, but
since negation is not necessary for the intended use it's left undecided

We do not test our http proxy functionality at all in the test suite, so
this is a pretty big blind spot. Let's at least add a basic check that
we can go through an authenticating proxy to perform a clone.
A few notes on the implementation:
- I'm using a single apache instance to proxy to itself. This seems to
work fine in practice, and we can check with a test that this rather
unusual setup is doing what we expect.
- I've put the proxy tests into their own script, and it's the only
one which loads the apache proxy config. If any platform can't
handle this (e.g., doesn't have the right modules), the start_httpd
step should fail and gracefully skip the rest of the script (but all
the other http tests in existing scripts will continue to run).
- I used a separate passwd file to make sure we don't ever get
confused between proxy and regular auth credentials. It's using the
antiquated crypt() format. This is a terrible choice security-wise
in the modern age, but it's what our existing passwd file uses, and
should be portable. It would probably be reasonable to switch both
of these to bcrypt, but we can do that in a separate patch.
- On the client side, we test two situations with credentials: when
they are present in the url, and when the username is present but we
prompt for the password. I think we should be able to handle the
case that _neither_ is present, but an HTTP 407 causes us to prompt
for them. However, this doesn't seem to work. That's either a bug,
or at the very least an opportunity for a feature, but I punted on
it for now. The point of this patch is just getting basic coverage,
and we can explore possible deficiencies later.
- this doesn't work with LIB_HTTPD_SSL. This probably would be
valuable to have, as https over an http proxy is totally different
(it uses CONNECT to tunnel the session). But adding in
mod_proxy_connect and some basic config didn't seem to work for me,
so I punted for now. Much of the rest of the test suite does not
currently work with LIB_HTTPD_SSL either, so we shouldn't be making
anything much worse here.

`FOLLOW_SYMLINKS` gained its first caller in ff7ccc8c9a (clone: use

subsequently removed in 6f054f9fb3 (builtin/clone.c: disallow `--local`

To shorten a fully qualified ref (e.g., taking "refs/heads/foo" to just
"foo"), we munge the usual lookup rules ("refs/heads/%.*s", etc) to drop
the ".*" modifier (so "refs/heads/%s"), and then use sscanf() to match
that against the refname, pulling the "%s" content into a separate
buffer.
This has a few downsides:
- sscanf("%s") reportedly misbehaves on macOS with some input and
locale combinations, returning a partial or garbled string. See
this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAGF3oAcCi+fG12j-1U0hcrWwkF5K_9WhOi6ZPHBzUUzfkrZDxA@mail.gmail.com/
- scanf's matching of "%s" is greedy. So the "refs/remotes/%s/HEAD"
rule would never pull "origin" out of "refs/remotes/origin/HEAD".
Instead it always produced "origin/HEAD", which is redundant with
the "refs/remotes/%s" rule.
- scanf in general is an error-prone interface. For example, scanning
for "%s" will copy bytes into a destination string, which must have
been correctly sized ahead of time to avoid a buffer overflow. In
this case, the code is OK (the buffer is pessimistically sized to
match the original string, which should give us a maximum). But in
general, we do not want to encourage people to use scanf at all.
So instead, let's note that our lookup rules are not arbitrary format
strings, but all contain exactly one "%.*s" placeholder. We already rely
on this, both for lookup (we feed the lookup format along with exactly
one int/ptr combo to snprintf, etc) and for shortening (we munge "%.*s"
to "%s", and then insist that sscanf() finds exactly one result).
We can parse this manually by just matching the bytes that occur before
and after the "%.*s" placeholder. While we have a few extra lines of
parsing code, the result is arguably simpler, as can skip the
preprocessing step and its tricky memory management entirely.
The in-code comments should explain the parsing strategy, but there's
one subtle change here. The original code allocated a single buffer, and
then overwrote it in each loop iteration, since that's the only option
sscanf() gives us. But our parser can actually return a ptr/len combo
for the matched string, which is all we need (since we just feed it back
to the lookup rules with "%.*s"), and then copy it only when returning
to the caller.
There are a few new tests here, all using symbolic-ref (the code can be
triggered in many ways, but symrefs are convenient in that we don't need
to create a real ref, which avoids any complications from the filesystem
munging the name):
- the first covers the real-world case which misbehaved on macOS.
Setting LC_ALL is required to trigger the problem there (since
otherwise our tests use LC_ALL=C), and hopefully is at worst simply
ignored on other systems (and doesn't cause libc to complain, etc,
on systems without that locale).
- the second covers the "origin/HEAD" case as discussed above, which
is now fixed
- the remainder are for "weird" cases that work both before and after
this patch, but would be easy to get wrong with off-by-one problems
in the parsing (and came out of discussions and earlier iterations
of the patch that did get them wrong).
- absent here are tests of boring, expected-to-work cases like
"refs/heads/foo", etc. Those are covered all over the test suite
both explicitly (for-each-ref's refname:short) and implicitly (in
the output of git-status, etc).
