When we "switch" to another local repository to run the server
side of a fetch or push, we must clear the variables in
local_repo_env so that our local $GIT_DIR, etc, do not
pollute the upload-pack or receive-pack that is executing in
the "remote" repository.
We have never done so for ssh connections. For the most
part, nobody has noticed because ssh will not pass unknown
environment variables by default. However, it is not out of
the question for a user to configure ssh to pass along GIT_*
variables using SendEnv/AcceptEnv.
We can demonstrate the problem by using "git -c" on a local
command and seeing its impact on a remote repository. This
config ends up in $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS. In the local case,
the config has no impact, but in the ssh transport, it does
(our test script has a fake ssh that passes through all
environment variables; this isn't normal, but does simulate
one possible setup).

When we show "branch@{0}", we format into a fixed-size
buffer using sprintf. This can overflow if you have long
branch names. We can fix it by using a temporary strbuf.

This function assumes that the relative_base path passed
into it is no larger than PATH_MAX, and writes into a
fixed-size buffer. However, this path may not have actually
come from the filesystem; for example, add_submodule_odb
generates a path using a strbuf and passes it in. This is
hard to trigger in practice, though, because the long
submodule directory would have to exist on disk before we
would try to open its info/alternates file.
We can easily avoid the bug, though, by simply creating the
filename on the heap.

When we are loading a notes tree into our internal hash
table, we also collect any files that are clearly non-notes.
We format the name of the file into a PATH_MAX buffer, but
unlike true notes (which cannot be larger than a fanned-out
sha1 hash), these tree entries can be arbitrarily long,
overflowing our buffer.
We can fix this by switching to a strbuf. It doesn't even
cost us an extra allocation, as we can simply hand ownership
of the buffer over to the non-note struct.
This is of moderate security interest, as you might fetch
notes trees from an untrusted remote. However, we do not do
so by default, so you would have to manually fetch into the
notes namespace.

When unpack-trees wants to know whether a path will
overwrite anything in the working tree, we use lstat() to
see if there is anything there. But if we are going to write
"foo/bar", we can't just lstat("foo/bar"); we need to look
for leading prefixes (e.g., "foo"). So we use the lstat cache
to find the length of the leading prefix, and copy the
filename up to that length into a temporary buffer (since
the original name is const, we cannot just stick a NUL in
it).
The copy we make goes into a PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which
will overflow if the prefix is longer than PATH_MAX. How
this happens is a little tricky, since in theory PATH_MAX is
the biggest path we will have read from the filesystem. But
this can happen if:
- the compiled-in PATH_MAX does not accurately reflect
what the filesystem is capable of
- the leading prefix is not _quite_ what is on disk; it
contains the next element from the name we are checking.
So if we want to write "aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd" and "aaa/bbb"
exists, the prefix of interest is "aaa/bbb/ccc". If
"aaa/bbb" approaches PATH_MAX, then "ccc" can overflow
it.
So this can be triggered, but it's hard to do. In
particular, you cannot just "git clone" a bogus repo. The
verify_absent checks happen before unpack-trees writes
anything to the filesystem, so there are never any leading
prefixes during the initial checkout, and the bug doesn't
trigger. And by definition, these files are larger than
PATH_MAX, so writing them will fail, and clone will
complain (though it may write a partial path, which will
cause a subsequent "git checkout" to hit the bug).
We can fix it by creating the temporary path on the heap.
The extra malloc overhead is not important, as we are
already making at least one stat() call (and probably more
for the prefix discovery).

Most of our "--date" modes are about the format of the date:
which items we show and in what order. But "--date=local" is
a bit of an oddball. It means "show the date in the normal
format, but using the local timezone". The timezone we use
is orthogonal to the actual format, and there is no reason
we could not have "localized iso8601", etc.
This patch adds a "local" boolean field to "struct
date_mode", and drops the DATE_LOCAL element from the
date_mode_type enum (it's now just DATE_NORMAL plus
local=1). The new feature is accessible to users by adding
"-local" to any date mode (e.g., "iso-local"), and we retain
"local" as an alias for "default-local" for backwards
compatibility.

When fast-import emits a crash report, it does so in the
user's local timezone. But because we omit the timezone
completely for DATE_LOCAL, a reader of the report does not
immediately know which time zone was used. Let's switch this
to ISO8601 instead, which includes the time zone.
This does mean we will show the time in UTC, but that's not
a big deal. A crash report like this will either be looked
at immediately (in which case nobody even looks at the
timestamp), or it will be passed along to a developer to
debug, in which case the original timezone is less likely to
be of interest.

The spec is very inconsistent about which PKT-LINE() parts
of the grammar include a LF. On top of that, the code is not
consistent, either (e.g., send-pack does not put newlines
into the ref-update commands it sends).
Let's make explicit the long-standing expectation that we
generally expect pkt-lines to end in a newline, but that
receivers should be lenient. This makes the spec consistent,
and matches what git already does (though it does not always
fulfill the SHOULD).
We do make an exception for the push-cert, where the
receiving code is currently a bit pickier. This is a
reasonable way to be, as the data needs to be byte-for-byte
compatible with what was signed. We _could_ make up some
rules about signing a canonicalized version including
newlines, but that would require a code change, and is out
of scope for this patch.

Most of the submodule operations work on a set of submodules.
Calculating and using this set is usually done via:
module_list "$@" | {
while read mode sha1 stage sm_path
do
# the actual operation
done
}
Currently the function `module_list` is implemented in the
git-submodule.sh as a shell script wrapping a perl script.
The rewrite is in C, such that it is faster and can later be
easily adapted when other functions are rewritten in C.
git-submodule.sh, similar to the builtin commands, will navigate
to the top-most directory of the repository and keep the
subdirectory as a variable. As the helper is called from
within the git-submodule.sh script, we are already navigated
to the root level, but the path arguments are still relative
to the subdirectory we were in when calling git-submodule.sh.
That's why there is a `--prefix` option pointing to an alternative
path which to anchor relative path arguments.
