e8f55568de t5562: use alarm() to interrupt timed child-wait
The t5562 script occasionally takes 60 extra seconds to complete due to
a race condition in the invoke-with-content-length.pl helper.

The way it's supposed to work is this:

  - we set up a SIGCLD handler

  - we kick off http-backend and write to it with a set content-length,
    but _don't_ close the pipe

  - we sleep for 60 seconds, assuming that SIGCLD from http-backend
    finishing will interrupt us

  - after the sleep finishes (whetherby 60 seconds or because it was
    interrupted by the signal), we check a flag to see if our SIGCLD
    handler was called. If not, then we complain.

This usually completes immediately, because the signal interrupts our
sleep. But very occasionally the child process dies _before_ we hit the
sleep, so we don't realize it. The test still completes successfully
(because our $exited flag is set), but it takes an extra 60 seconds.

There's no way to check the flag and sleep atomically. So the best we
can do with this approach is to sleep in smaller chunks (say, 1 second)
and check the flag incrementally. Then we waste a maximum of 1 second if
we lose the race. This was proposed in:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/20190218205028.32486-1-max@max630.net/

and it does work. But we can do better.

Instead of blocking on sleep and waiting for the child signal to
interrupt us, we can block on the child exiting and set an alarm signal
to trigger the timeout.

This lets us exit the script immediately when the child behaves (with no
race possible), and wait a maximum of 60 seconds when it doesn't.

Note one small subtlety: perl is very willing to restart the waitpid()
call after the alarm is delivered, even if we've thrown an exception via
die. "perldoc -f alarm" claims you can get around this with an eval/die
combo (and even has some example code), but it doesn't seem to work for
me with waitpid(); instead, we continue waiting until the child exits.

So instead, we'll instruct the child process to exit in the alarm
handler itself. In the original code this was done by calling
close($out). That would continue to work, since our child is always
http-backend, which should exit when its stdin closes. But we can be
even more robust against a hung or confused child by sending a KILL
signal, which should terminate it immediately.

Skip that check if --force is given, as the caller is indicating with
it that they know what they are doing and accept the consequences.
This allows deleting dangling branches, which previously had to be

first checking whether stdout is a tty. Let's fix these issues and also

8174627b3d diff-lib: ignore paths that are outside $cwd if --relative asked
For diff family commands, we can tell them to exclude changes outside
of some directories if --relative is requested.

In diff_unmerge(), NULL will be returned if the requested path is
outside of the interesting directories, thus we'll run into NULL
pointer dereference in run_diff_files when trying to dereference
its return value.

Checking for return value of diff_unmerge before dereferencing
is not sufficient, though. Since, diff engine will try to work on such
pathspec later.

Let's not run diff on those unintesting entries, instead.
As a side effect, by skipping like that, we can save some CPU cycles.

597fa8cb43 t6300: don't run cat-file on non-existent object
In t6300, some tests are guarded behind some prerequisites.
Thus, objects created by those tests ain't available if those
prerequisites are unsatistified.  Attempting to run "cat-file"
on those objects will run into failure.

In fact, running t6300 in an environment without gpg(1),
we'll see those warnings:

	fatal: Not a valid object name refs/tags/signed-empty
	fatal: Not a valid object name refs/tags/signed-short
	fatal: Not a valid object name refs/tags/signed-long

Let's put those commands into the real tests, in order to:

* skip their execution if prerequisites aren't satistified.
* check their exit status code

The expected value for objects with type: commit needs to be
computed outside the test because we can't rely on "$3" there.
Furthermore, to prevent the accidental usage of that computed
expected value, BUG out on unknown object's type.

c21b2511c2 t5323: drop mentions of "master"
Commit 0696232390 (pack-redundant: fix crash when one packfile in repo,
2020-12-16) added one some new tests to t5323. At the time, the sub-repo
we used was called "master". But in a parallel branch, this was switched
to "main".

When the latter branch was merged in 27d7c8599b (Merge branch
'js/default-branch-name-tests-final-stretch', 2021-01-25), some of those
spots caused textual conflicts, but some (for tests that were far enough
away from other changed code) were just semantic. The merge resolution
fixed up most spots, but missed this one.

Even though this did impact actual code, it turned out not to fail the
tests. Running 'cd "$master_repo"' ended up staying in the same
directory, running the test in the main trash repo instead of the
sub-repo. But because the point of the test is checking behavior when
there are no packfiles, it worked in either repo (since both are empty
at this point in the script).

a16eb6b1ff maintenance: skip bootout/bootstrap when plist is registered
On macOS, we use launchctl to manage the background maintenance
schedule. This uses a set of .plist files to describe the schedule, but
these files are also registered with 'launchctl bootstrap'. If multiple
'git maintenance start' commands run concurrently, then they can collide
replacing these schedule files and registering them with launchctl.

To avoid extra launchctl commands, do a check for the .plist files on
disk and check if they are registered using 'launchctl list <name>'.
This command will return with exit code 0 if it exists, or exit code 113
if it does not.

We can test this behavior using the GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER environment
variable.

baf8ec8d3a rebase -r: don't write .git/MERGE_MSG when fast-forwarding
When fast-forwarding we do not create a new commit so .git/MERGE_MSG
is not removed and can end up seeding the message of a commit made
after the rebase has finished. Avoid writing .git/MERGE_MSG when we
are fast-forwarding by writing the file after the fast-forward
checks. Note that there are no changes to the fast-forward code, it is
simply moved.

Note that the way this change is implemented means we no longer write
the author script when fast-forwarding either. I believe this is safe
for the reasons below but it is a departure from what we do when
fast-forwarding a non-merge commit. If we reword the merge then 'git
commit --amend' will keep the authorship of the commit we're rewording
as it ignores GIT_AUTHOR_* unless --reset-author is passed. It will
also export the correct GIT_AUTHOR_* variables to any hooks and we
already test the authorship of the reworded commit. If we are not
rewording then we no longer call spilt_ident() which means we are no
longer checking the commit author header looks sane. However this is
what we already do when fast-forwarding non-merge commits in
skip_unnecessary_picks() so I don't think we're breaking any promises
by not checking the author here.

2be6b6f411 rebase -r: make 'merge -c' behave like reword
If the user runs git log while rewording a commit it is confusing if
sometimes we're amending the commit that's being reworded and at other
times we're creating a new commit depending on whether we could
fast-forward or not[1]. For this reason the reword command ensures
that there are no uncommitted changes when rewording. The reword
command also allows the user to edit the todo list while the rebase is
paused. As 'merge -c' also rewords commits make it behave like reword
and add a test.

626beebdf8 connect, protocol: log negotiated protocol version
It is useful for performance monitoring and debugging purposes to know
the wire protocol used for remote operations. This may differ from the
version set in local configuration due to differences in version and/or
configuration between the server and the client. Therefore, log the
negotiated wire protocol version via trace2, for both clients and
servers.

46d723ce57 apply: keep buffer/size pair in sync when parsing binary hunks
We parse through binary hunks by looping through the buffer with code
like:

    llen = linelen(buffer, size);

    ...do something with the line...

    buffer += llen;
    size -= llen;

However, before we enter the loop, there is one call that increments
"buffer" but forgets to decrement "size". As a result, our "size" is off
by the length of that line, and subsequent calls to linelen() may look
past the end of the buffer for a newline.

The fix is easy: we just need to decrement size as we do elsewhere.

This bug goes all the way back to 0660626caf (binary diff: further
updates., 2006-05-05). Presumably nobody noticed because it only
triggers if the patch is corrupted, and even then we are often "saved"
by luck. We use a strbuf to store the incoming patch, so we overallocate
there, plus we add a 16-byte run of NULs as slop for memory comparisons.
So if this happened accidentally, the common case is that we'd just read
a few uninitialized bytes from the end of the strbuf before producing
the expected "this patch is corrupted" error complaint.

However, it is possible to carefully construct a case which reads off
the end of the buffer. The included test does so. It will pass both
before and after this patch when run normally, but using a tool like
ASan shows that we get an out-of-bounds read before this patch, but not
after.

6a38e33331 Revert 'diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"'
This reverts commit f5bfcc823b, which
made "git log -m" imply "--patch" by default.  The logic was that
"-m", which makes diff generation for merges perform a diff against
each parent, has no use unless I am viewing the diff, so we could save
the user some typing by turning on display of the resulting diff
automatically.  That wasn't expected to adversely affect scripts
because scripts would either be using a command like "git diff-tree"
that already emits diffs by default or would be combining -m with a
diff generation option such as --name-status.  By saving typing for
interactive use without adversely affecting scripts in the wild, it
would be a pure improvement.

The problem is that although diff generation options are only relevant
for the displayed diff, a script author can imagine them affecting
path limiting.  For example, I might run

	git log -w --format=%H -- README

hoping to list commits that edited README, excluding whitespace-only
changes.  In fact, a whitespace-only change is not TREESAME so the use
of -w here has no effect (since we don't apply these diff generation
flags to the diff_options struct rev_info::pruning used for this
purpose), but the documentation suggests that it should work

	Suppose you specified foo as the <paths>. We shall call
	commits that modify foo !TREESAME, and the rest TREESAME. (In
	a diff filtered for foo, they look different and equal,
	respectively.)

and a script author who has not tested whitespace-only changes
wouldn't notice.

Similarly, a script author could include

	git log -m --first-parent --format=%H -- README

to filter the first-parent history for commits that modified README.
The -m is a no-op but it reflects the script author's intent.  For
example, until 1e20a407fe (stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git
log", 2021-05-21), "git stash list" did this.

As a result, we can't safely change "-m" to imply "-p" without fear of
breaking such scripts.  Restore the previous behavior.

Noticed because Rust's src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py made use of this
same construct: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87513.  That
script has been updated to omit the unnecessary "-m" option, but we
can expect other scripts in the wild to have similar expectations.

390b44eb2b test: fix for COLUMNS and bash 5
Since c49a177bec (test-lib.sh: set COLUMNS=80 for --verbose
repeatability, 2021-06-29) multiple tests have been failing when using
bash 5 because checkwinsize is enabled by default, therefore COLUMNS is
reset using TIOCGWINSZ even for non-interactive shells.

It's debatable whether or not bash should even be doing that, but for
now we can avoid this undesirable behavior by disabling this option.
