A few commands don't take any options at all, and confirm this by
checking argc. After that they have no need to look at argv, but we're
still stuck with it by convention. Let's annotate these cases so that
the compiler doesn't complain with -Wunused-parameter.
Note that in scalar and get-tar-commit-id, we're forced to keep argv by
calling convention (the functions must match cmd_main() and builtin
cmd_foo() conventions, respectively). In diff, these are subcommand
modes that we call individually, so we _could_ just drop the argv
parameters entirely. But it's weird to pass argc without argv, and it
implies that the caller knows that the subcommands aren't interested in
further arguments. It's less confusing to just keep them and silence the
compiler warning.

All builtins receive a "prefix" parameter, but it is only useful if they
need to adjust filenames given by the user on the command line. For
builtins that do not even call parse_options(), they often don't look at
the prefix at all, and -Wunused-parameter complains.
Let's annotate those to silence the compiler warning. I gave a quick
scan of each of these cases, and it seems like they don't have anything
they _should_ be using the prefix for (i.e., there is no hidden bug that
we are missing). The only questionable cases I saw were:
- in git-unpack-file, we create a tempfile which will always be at the
root of the repository, even if the command is run from a subdir.
Arguably this should be created in the subdir from which we're run
(as we report the path only as a relative name). However, nobody has
complained, and I'm hesitant to change something that is deep
plumbing going back to April 2005 (though I think within our
scripts, the sole caller in git-merge-one-file would be OK, as it
moves to the toplevel itself).
- in fetch-pack, local-filesystem remotes are taken as relative to the
project root, not the current directory. So:
git init server.git
[...put stuff in server.git...]
git init client.git
cd client.git
mkdir subdir
cd subdir
git fetch-pack ../../server.git ...
won't work, as we quietly move to the top of the repository before
interpreting the path (so "../server.git" would work). This is
weird, but again, nobody has complained and this is how it has
always worked. And this is how "git fetch" works, too. Plus it
raises questions about how a configured remote like:
git config remote.origin.url ../server.git
should behave. I can certainly come up with a reasonable set of
behavior, but it may not be worth stirring up complications in a
plumbing tool.
So I've left the behavior untouched in both of those cases. If anybody
really wants to revisit them, it's easy enough to drop the UNUSED
marker. This commit is just about removing them as obstacles to turning
on -Wunused-parameter all the time.

It's usually a bad idea for a builtin's cmd_foo() to ignore the "prefix"
argument it gets, as it needs to prepend that string when accessing any
paths given by the user.
But if a builtin does not ask for the git wrapper to run repository
setup (via the RUN_SETUP or RUN_SETUP_GENTLY flags), then we know the
prefix will always be NULL (it is adjusting for the chdir() done during
repo setup, but there cannot be one if we did not set up the repo). In
those cases it's OK to ignore "prefix", but it's worth annotating for a
few reasons:
1. It serves as documentation to somebody reading the code about what
we expect.
2. If the flags in git.c ever change, the run-time assertion may help
detect the problem (though only if the command is run from a
subdirectory of the repository).
3. It notes to the compiler that we are OK ignoring "prefix". In
particular, this silences -Wunused-parameter. It _could_ also help
the compiler generate better code (because it will know the prefix
is NULL), but in practice this is quite unlikely to matter.
Note that I've only added this annotation to commands which triggered
-Wunused-parameter. It would be correct to add it to any builtin which
doesn't ask for RUN_SETUP, but most of the rest of them do the sensible
thing with "prefix" by passing it to parse_options(). So they're much
more likely to just work if they ever switched to RUN_SETUP, and aren't
worth annotating.

Our builtins receive a "prefix" argument as part of their cmd_foo()
function. We should always pass this to parse_options() if we're calling
it, as it may be used for OPT_FILENAME() options.
In the cases here, there's no option that would use it, so we're not
fixing any bug. This is just future-proofing and setting a good example
(plus quelling some -Wunused-parameter warnings).
Note in the case of revert/cherry-pick, that we plumb the prefix through
to run_sequencer(), as those builtins are just thin wrappers around it.

In cmd_fast_import(), we ignore the "prefix" argument entirely, even
though it tells us how we may have changed directory to the root of the
repository earlier in the process. Which means that if you run it from a
subdir and point to paths in the filesystem, like:
cd subdir
git fast-import --import-marks=foo <dump
then it will look for "foo" in the root of the repository, not the
current directory ("subdir/") which the user would have expected.
We can fix this by recording the prefix and using it as appropriate
whenever we open a file for reading or writing. I found each of these by
looking for cases where we call fopen() within fast-import.c, so this
should cover all cases. The new test triggers each one, as well as
making sure we don't accidentally apply the prefix when --relative-marks
is in use (since that option interprets some paths as relative to a
specific directory).

In 2007 the docbook project made the mistake of converting ' to \' for
man pages [1]. It's a problem because groff interprets \' as acute
accent which is rendered as ' in ASCII, but as ´ in utf-8.
This started a cascade of bug reports in git [2], debian [3], Arch Linux
[4], docbook itself [5], and probably many others.
A solution was to use the correct groff character: \(aq, which is always
rendered as ', but the problem is that such character doesn't work in
other troff programs.
A portable solution required the use of a conditional character that is
\(aq in groff, but ' in all others:
.ie \n(.g .ds Aq \(aq
.el .ds Aq '
The proper solution took time to be implemented in docbook, but in 2010
they did it [6]. So the docbook man page stylesheets were broken from
1.73 to 1.76.
Unfortunately by that point many workarounds already existed. In the
case of git, GNU_ROFF was introduced, and in the case of Arch Linux
a mapping from \' to ' was added to groff's man.local. Other
distributions might have done the same, or similar workarounds.
Since 2010 there is no need for this workaround, which is fixed
elsewhere, not just in docbook, but other layers as well.
Let's remove it.

Use gettimeofday instead of time(NULL) to get current time.
This avoids clock skew on glibc 2.31+ on Linux, where in the
first 1 to 2.5 ms of every second, time(NULL) returns a
value that is one less than the tv_sec part of
higher-resolution timestamps such as those returned by
gettimeofday or timespec_get, or those in the file system.
There are similar clock skew problems on AIX and MS-Windows,
which have problems in the first 5 ms of every second.
Without this patch, users can observe Git issuing a
timestamp T+1 before it issues timestamp T, because Git
sometimes uses time(NULL) or time(&t) and sometimes uses
higher-res methods like gettimeofday. Although strictly
speaking users should tolerate this behavior because a
superuser can always change the clock back, this is a
quality of implementation issue and users naturally expect
Git to issue timestamps in increasing order unless the
superuser has fiddled with the system clock.
This patch always uses gettimeofday(...) instead of time(...),
and I have verified that the resulting .o files never refer
to the name 'time'. A trickier patch would change only
those calls for which timestamp monotonicity is user-visible.
Such a patch would require more expertise about Git internals,
though, and would be harder to maintain later.
Another possibility would be to change Git's documentation
to warn users that Git does not always issue timestamps in
increasing order. However, Git users would likely be either
dismayed by this possibility, or confused by the level of
detail that any such documentation would require.
Yet another possibility would be to fix the Linux kernel so
that the time syscall is consistent with the other timestamp
syscalls. I suppose this has not been done due to
performance implications. (Git's use of timestamps is rare
enough that performance is not a significant consideration
for git.) However, this wouldn't fix Git's problem on older
Linux kernels, or on AIX or MS-Windows.

There's code in git_connect() that checks whether we are doing a push
with protocol_v2, and if so, drops us to protocol_v0 (since we know
how to do v2 only for fetches). But it misses some corner cases:
1. it checks the "prog" variable, which is actually the path to
receive-pack on the remote side. By default this is just
"git-receive-pack", but it could be an arbitrary string (like
"/path/to/git receive-pack", etc). We'd accidentally stay in v2
mode in this case.
2. besides "receive-pack" and "upload-pack", there's one other value
we'd expect: "upload-archive" for handling "git archive --remote".
Like receive-pack, this doesn't understand v2, and should use the
v0 protocol.
In practice, neither of these causes bugs in the real world so far. We
do send a "we understand v2" probe to the server, but since no server
implements v2 for anything but upload-pack, it's simply ignored. But
this would eventually become a problem if we do implement v2 for those
endpoints, as older clients would falsely claim to understand it,
leading to a server response they can't parse.
We can fix (1) by passing in both the program path and the "name" of the
operation. I treat the name as a string here, because that's the pattern
set in transport_connect(), which is one of our callers (we were simply
throwing away the "name" value there before).
We can fix (2) by allowing only known-v2 protocols ("upload-pack"),
rather than blocking unknown ones ("receive-pack" and "upload-archive").
That will mean whoever eventually implements v2 push will have to adjust
this list, but that's reasonable. We'll do the safe, conservative thing
(sticking to v0) by default, and anybody working on v2 will quickly
realize this spot needs to be updated.
The new tests cover the receive-pack and upload-archive cases above, and
re-confirm that we allow v2 with an arbitrary "--upload-pack" path (that
already worked before this patch, of course, but it would be an easy
thing to break if we flipped the allow/block logic without also handling
"name" separately).
Here are a few miscellaneous implementation notes, since I had to do a
little head-scratching to understand who calls what:
- transport_connect() is called only for git-upload-archive. For
non-http git remotes, that resolves to the virtual connect_git()
function (which then calls git_connect(); confused yet?). So
plumbing through "name" in connect_git() covers that.
- for regular fetches and pushes, callers use higher-level functions
like transport_fetch_refs(). For non-http git remotes, that means
calling git_connect() under the hood via connect_setup(). And that
uses the "for_push" flag to decide which name to use.
- likewise, plumbing like fetch-pack and send-pack may call
git_connect() directly; they each know which name to use.
- for remote helpers (including http), we already have separate
parameters for "name" and "exec" (another name for "prog"). In
process_connect_service(), we feed the "name" to the helper via
"connect" or "stateless-connect" directives.
There's also a "servpath" option, which can be used to tell the
helper about the "exec" path. But no helpers we implement support
it! For http it would be useless anyway (no reasonable server
implementation will allow you to send a shell command to run the
server). In theory it would be useful for more obscure helpers like
remote-ext, but even there it is not implemented.
It's tempting to get rid of it simply to reduce confusion, but we
have publicly documented it since it was added in fa8c097cc9
(Support remote helpers implementing smart transports, 2009-12-09),
so it's possible some helper in the wild is using it.
- So for v2, helpers (again, including http) are mainly used via
stateless-connect, driven by the main program. But they do still
need to decide whether to do a v2 probe. And so there's similar
logic in remote-curl.c's discover_refs() that looks for
"git-receive-pack". But it's not buggy in the same way. Since it
doesn't support servpath, it is always dealing with a "service"
string like "git-receive-pack". And since it doesn't support
straight "connect", it can't be used for "upload-archive".
So we could leave that spot alone. But I've updated it here to match
the logic we're changing in connect_git(). That seems like the least
confusing thing for somebody who has to touch both of these spots
later (say, to add v2 push support). I didn't add a new test to make
sure this doesn't break anything; we already have several tests (in
t5551 and elsewhere) that make sure we are using v2 over http.

When the prompt command mode was introduced in 1bfc51ac81 (Allow
__git_ps1 to be used in PROMPT_COMMAND, 2012-10-10), the assumption was
that it was necessary in order to properly add colors to PS1 in bash,
but this wasn't true.
It's true that the \[ \] markers add the information needed to properly
calculate the width of the prompt, and they have to be added directly to
PS1, a function returning them doesn't work.
But that is because bash coverts the \[ \] markers in PS1 to \001 \002,
which is what readline ultimately needs in order to calculate the width.
We don't need bash to do this conversion, we can use \001 \002
ourselves, and then the prompt command mode is not necessary to display
colors.
This is what functions returning colors are supposed to do [1].
