In ba50532, the variable 'cnt' was added to both the IPv6 and the
IPv4 version of git_tcp_connect_sock, intended to identify which
network adapter the connection failed on. But in the IPv6 version,
the variable was never increased, leaving it constantly at zero.
This behaviour isn't very useful, so let's fix it by increasing
the variable at every loop-iteration.

They might care because they want to do a half-duplex close.
With pipes, that means simply closing the output descriptor;
with a socket, you must actually call shutdown.
Instead of exposing the magic no_fork child_process struct,
let's encapsulate the test in a function.

The git_connect function returns two ends of a pipe for
talking with a remote, plus a struct child_process
representing the other end of the pipe. If we have a direct
socket connection, then this points to a special "no_fork"
child process.
The code path for doing git-over-pipes or git-over-ssh sets
up this child process to point to the child git command or
the ssh process. When we call finish_connect eventually, we
check wait() on the command and report its return value.
The code path for git://, on the other hand, always sets it
to no_fork. In the case of a direct TCP connection, this
makes sense; we have no child process. But in the case of a
proxy command (configured by core.gitproxy), we do have a
child process, but we throw away its pid, and therefore
ignore its return code.
Instead, let's keep that information in the proxy case, and
respect its return code, which can help catch some errors
(though depending on your proxy command, it will be errors
reported by the proxy command itself, and not propagated
from git commands. Still, it is probably better to propagate
such errors than to ignore them).
It also means that the child_process field can reliably be
used to determine whether the returned descriptors are
actually a full-duplex socket, which means we should be
using shutdown() instead of a simple close.

There are a few remaining ones, but this fixes the trivial ones. It boils
down to two main issues that sparse complains about:
- warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
Sparse doesn't like you using '0' instead of 'NULL'. For various good
reasons, not the least of which is just the visual confusion. A NULL
pointer is not an integer, and that whole "0 works as NULL" is a
historical accident and not very pretty.
A few of these remain: zlib is a total mess, and Z_NULL is just a 0.
I didn't touch those.
- warning: symbol 'xyz' was not declared. Should it be static?
Sparse wants to see declarations for any functions you export. A lack
of a declaration tends to mean that you should either add one, or you
should mark the function 'static' to show that it's in file scope.
A few of these remain: I only did the ones that should obviously just
be made static.
That 'wt_status_submodule_summary' one is debatable. It has a few related
flags (like 'wt_status_use_color') which _are_ declared, and are used by
builtin-commit.c. So maybe we'd like to export it at some point, but it's
not declared now, and not used outside of that file, so 'static' it is in

Since 1.4.4.5 (49ba83fb67 "Add virtualization support to git-daemon")
git daemon enters an infinite loop and never terminates if a client
hides any extra arguments in the initial request line which is not
exactly "\0host=blah\0".
Since that change, a client must never insert additional extra
arguments, or attempt to use any argument other than "host=", as
any daemon will get stuck parsing the request line and will never
complete the request.
Since the client can't tell if the daemon is patched or not, it
is not possible to know if additional extra args might actually be
able to be safely requested.
If we ever need to extend the git daemon protocol to support a new
feature, we may have to do something like this to the exchange:
# If both support git:// v2
#
C: 000cgit://v2
S: 0010ok host user
C: 0018host git.kernel.org
C: 0027git-upload-pack /pub/linux-2.6.git
S: ...git-upload-pack header...
# If client supports git:// v2, server does not:
#
C: 000cgit://v2
S: <EOF>
C: 003bgit-upload-pack /pub/linux-2.6.git\0host=git.kernel.org\0
S: ...git-upload-pack header...
This requires the client to create two TCP connections to talk to
an older git daemon, however all daemons since the introduction of
daemon.c will safely reject the unknown "git://v2" command request,
so the client can quite easily determine the server supports an
older protocol.

OpenSSH uses -p to specify custom ports, while PuTTY plink and
TortoisePlink use -P. Git now detects if plink is in GIT_SSH and
modify its flags as necessary.
We call plink with -batch, so that it will error out with an error
message instead of waiting for user input. As reported in msysGit
issue 96, plink wants to interact with the user asking if a host
key should be accepted, but this just blocks the terminal, since
plink tries to get the answer from stdin. However, stdin is
already connected to Git that wants to send input to the remote
command.
But we do not pass -batch to TortoisePlink, because TortoisePlink
uses a GUI to communicate with the user, and it does not understand
-batch.

"git push" enhancement allows the receiving end to report not only its own
refs but refs in repositories it borrows from via the alternate object
store mechanism. By telling the sender that objects reachable from these
extra refs are already complete in the receiving end, the number of
objects that need to be transfered can be cut down.
These entries are sent over the wire with string ".have", instead of the
actual names of the refs. This string was chosen so that they are ignored
by older programs at the sending end. If we sent some random but valid
looking refnames for these entries, "matching refs" rule (triggered when
running "git push" without explicit refspecs, where the sender learns what
refs the receiver has, and updates only the ones with the names of the
refs the sender also has) and "delete missing" rule (triggered when "git
push --mirror" is used, where the sender tells the receiver to delete the
refs it itself does not have) would try to update/delete them, which is
not what we want.
This prepares the send-pack (and "push" that runs native protocol) to
accept extended existing ref information and make use of it. The ".have"
entries are excluded from ref matching rules, and are exempt from deletion
rule while pushing with --mirror option, but are still used for pack
generation purposes by providing more "bottom" range commits.

This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:
if (some_expression)
free (some_expression);
with the now-equivalent:
free (some_expression);
It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html
FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
perl -0x3b -pi -e \
's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'
Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.
Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this
if (x)
free (x);
else
foo ();
into this:
free (x);
else
foo ();
There were none of those here, either.
If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

Currently alloc_ref() expects the length of the refname plus 1
as its parameter, prepares that much space and returns a "ref"
structure for the caller to fill the refname. One caller in
transport.c::get_refs_from_bundle() however allocated one byte
less.
It may be a good idea to change the calling convention to give
alloc_ref() the length of the refname, but that clean-up can be
done in a separate patch. This patch only fixes the bug and
makes all callers consistent.

setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently.
The work tree can be specified using the environment variable
GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment
variable has precendence over the config option). Additionally
there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the
environment variable.
setup_gdg does the following now:
GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in .git directory
parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree,
GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored
GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in cwd
GIT_DIR is set to cwd
see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and
also see the note below
GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified
cwd is used as work tree
GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified
the specified work tree is used
Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd:
GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true.
I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple
times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls
setup_gdg should do the same thing every time.
Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir:
(1) is_bare_repository
A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is
unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not
named .git). The bare option disables a few protective
checks which are useful with a working tree. Currently
this changes if a repository is bare:
updates of HEAD are allowed
git gc packs the refs
the reflog is disabled by default
(2) is_inside_work_tree
True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there
is one), false otherwise.
(3) is_inside_git_dir
True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise.
Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare
repositories.
When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is
always called. This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of
core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified.
inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a
repository. The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions
will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

At least in Linux glibc, "getaddrinfo()" has a very irritating feature (or
bug, who knows..).
Namely if you pass it in an empty string for the service name, it will
happily and quietly consider it identical to a NULL port pointer, and
return port number zero and no errors. Which obviously will not work.
Maybe that's what it's really expected to do, although the man-page for
getaddrinfo() certainly implies that it's a bug.
So when somebody passes me a "please pull" request pointing to something
like the following
git://git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/v4l-dvb.git
(note the extraneous colon at the end of the host name), git would happily
try to connect to port 0, which would generally just cause the remote to
not even answer, and the "connect()" will take a long time to time out.
So to work around the glibc feature/bug, just notice this empty port case
automatically. Also, add the port information to the error information
when it fails to look up (maybe it's the host-name that fails, maybe it's
the port-name - we should print out both).

Earlier, git_connect() returned the same fd twice or two
separate fds, depending on the way the connection was made (when
we are talking to the other end over a single socket, we used
the same fd twice, and when our end is connected to a pipepair
we used two).
This forced callers who do close() and dup() to really care
which was which, and most of the existing callers got this
wrong, although without much visible ill effect. Many were
closing the same fd twice when we are talking over a single
socket, and one was leaking a fd.
This fixes it to uniformly use two separate fds, so if somebody
wants to close only reader side can just do close() on it
without worrying about it accidentally also closing the writer
side or vice versa.

This changes the refname matching logic used to decide which ref
is updated with git-send-pack. We used to error out when
pushing 'master' when the other end has both 'master' branch and
a tracking branch 'remotes/$name/master' but with this, 'master'
matches only 'refs/heads/master' when both and no other 'master'
exist.
Pushing 'foo' when both heads/foo and tags/foo exist at the
remote end is still considered an error and you would need to
disambiguate between them by being more explicit.
When neither heads/foo nor tags/foo exists at the remote,
pushing 'foo' when there is only remotes/origin/foo is not
ambiguous, while it still is ambiguous when there are more than
one such weaker match (remotes/origin/foo and remotes/alt/foo,
for example).

As we receive the remote references in get_remote_heads() we validate

rejecting those >45 characters in size.
This is a miss converted change, it was originally designed to reject

This makes git-peek-remote able to basically do everything that
git-ls-remote does (but obviously just for the native protocol, so no
http[s]: or rsync: support).
The default behaviour is the same, but you can now give a mixture of
"--refs", "--tags" and "--heads" flags, where "--refs" forces
git-peek-remote to only show real refs (ie none of the fakey tag lookups,
but also not the special pseudo-refs like HEAD and MERGE_HEAD).
The "--tags" and "--heads" flags respectively limit the output to just
regular tags and heads, of course.
You can still also ask to limit them by name too.
You can combine the flags, so
git peek-remote --refs --tags .
will show all local _true_ tags, without the generated tag lookups
(compare the output without the "--refs" flag).
And "--tags --heads" will show both tags and heads, but will avoid (for
example) any special refs outside of the standard locations.
I'm also planning on adding a "--ignore-local" flag that allows us to ask
it to ignore any refs that we already have in the local tree, but that's
an independent thing.
All this is obviously gearing up to making "git fetch" cheaper.

It was reported that under one implementation of socks client
"git clone" fails with "error: waitpid failed (No child processes)",
because "git" is spawned after setting SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN.
Arguably it may be a broken setting, but we should protect
ourselves so that we can get reliable results from waitpid() for
the children we care about.
This patch resets SIGCHLD to SIG_DFL in three places:
- connect.c::git_connect() - initiators of git native
protocol transfer are covered with this.
- daemon.c::main() - obviously.
- merge-index.c::main() - obviously.
There are other programs that do fork() but do not waitpid():
http-push, imap-send. upload-pack does not either, but in the
case of that program, each of the forked halves runs exec()

gitproxy = netcatter for kernel.org
gitproxy = netscatter for sample.xz
gitproxy = none for mydomain.xz
gitproxy = netcatter-default
The values are command names, followed by an optional " for "
and domainname; the first tail-match of the domainname
determines which proxy command is used. An entry without "
for " matches any domain and can be used as the default.
The command name "none" is special -- it tells the mechanism

I've taken the hostname parsing verbatim from git_tcp_connect(),

Regarding internal vs. external hosts, the proxy command can
simply run netcat locally to internal hosts, so perhaps that is
sufficient.

GCC's format __attribute__ is good for checking errors, especially

against 2005-08-09 snapshot.
This extends the source side semantics to match what Linus
suggested.
An example:
$ git-send-pack kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git pu^^:master pu
would allow me to push the current pu into pu, and the
commit two commits before it into master, on my public
repository.
The revised rule for updating remote heads is as follows.
$ git-send-pack [--all] <remote> [<ref>...]
- When no <ref> is specified:
- with '--all', it is the same as specifying the full refs/*
path for all local refs;
- without '--all', it is the same as specifying the full
refs/* path for refs that exist on both ends;
- When one or more <ref>s are specified:
- a single token <ref> (i.e. no colon) must be a pattern that
tail-matches refs/* path for an existing local ref. It is
an error for the pattern to match no local ref, or more
than one local refs. The matching ref is pushed to the
remote end under the same name.
- <src>:<dst> can have different cases. <src> is first tried
as the tail-matching pattern for refs/* path.
- If more than one matches are found, it is an error.
- If one match is found, <dst> must either match no remote
ref and start with "refs/", or match exactly one remote
ref. That remote ref is updated with the sha1 value
obtained from the <src> sha1.
- If no match is found, it is given to get_extended_sha1();
it is an error if get_extended_sha1() does not find an
object name. If it succeeds, <dst> must either match
no remote ref and start with "refs/" or match exactly
one remote ref. That remote ref is updated with the sha1
value.

This allows git-send-pack to push local refs to a destination
repository under different names.
Here is the name mapping rules for refs.
* If there is no ref mapping on the command line:
- if '--all' is specified, it is equivalent to specifying
<local> ":" <local> for all the existing local refs on the
command line
- otherwise, it is equivalent to specifying <ref> ":" <ref> for
all the refs that exist on both sides.
* <name> is just a shorthand for <name> ":" <name>
* <src> ":" <dst>
push ref that matches <src> to ref that matches <dst>.
- It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of local
refs.
- It is an error if <dst> matches more than one remote refs.
- If <dst> does not match any remote refs, either
- it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
destination literally in this case.
- <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
locally is used as the name of the destination.
For example,
- "git-send-pack --all <remote>" works exactly as before;
- "git-send-pack <remote> master:upstream" pushes local master
to remote ref that matches "upstream". If there is no such
ref, it is an error.
- "git-send-pack <remote> master:refs/heads/upstream" pushes
local master to remote refs/heads/upstream, even when
refs/heads/upstream does not exist.
- "git-send-pack <remote> master" into an empty remote
repository pushes the local ref/heads/master to the remote
ref/heads/master.

Useful for pulling stuff off a dedicated server. Instead of connecting
with ssh or just starting a local pipeline, we connect over TCP to the
other side and try to see if there's a git server listening.
Of course, since I haven't written the git server yet, that will never
happen. But the server really just needs to listen on a port, and
execute a "git-upload-pack" when somebody connects.
(It should read one packet-line, which should be of the format
"git-upload-pack directoryname\n"
and eventually we migth have other commands the server might accept).
This tries to be more lenient to the users and stricter to the
attackers by quoting the input properly for shell safety,
instead of forbidding certain characters from the input.
Things to note:
- We do not quote "prog" parameter (which comes from --exec).
The user should know what he is doing. --exec='echo foo'
will supply the first two parameters to the resulting
command, while --exec="'echo foo'" will give the first
parameter, a single string with a space inside.
- We do not care too much about leaking the sq_quote() output
just before running exec().
