13092a916d cocci: refactor common patterns to use xstrdup_or_null()
d64ea0f83b ("git-compat-util: add xstrdup_or_null helper",
2015-01-12) added a handy wrapper that allows us to get a duplicate
of a string or NULL if the original is NULL, but a handful of
codepath predate its introduction or just weren't aware of it.

661a180681 gpg-interface: use more status letters
According to gpg2's doc/DETAILS:

    For each signature only one of the codes GOODSIG, BADSIG,
    EXPSIG, EXPKEYSIG, REVKEYSIG or ERRSIG will be emitted.

gpg1 ("classic") behaves the same (although doc/DETAILS differs).

Currently, we parse gpg's status output for GOODSIG, BADSIG and
trust information and translate that into status codes G, B, U, N
for the %G?  format specifier.

git-verify-* returns success in the GOODSIG case only. This is
somewhat in disagreement with gpg, which considers the first 5 of
the 6 above as VALIDSIG, but we err on the very safe side.

Introduce additional status codes E, X, Y, R for ERRSIG, EXPSIG,
EXPKEYSIG, and REVKEYSIG so that a user of %G? gets more information
about the absence of a 'G' on first glance.

5411b10cef upload-pack: use priority queue in reachable() check
Like a lot of old commit-traversal code, this keeps a
commit_list in commit-date order, and and inserts parents
into the list. This means each insertion is potentially
linear, and the whole thing is quadratic (though the exact
runtime depends on the relationship between the commit dates
and the parent topology).

These days we have a priority queue, which can do the same
thing with a much better worst-case time.

Make it easier to follow the program's flow by isolating all

The use of a main() function is borrowing a convention from C,

722ff7f876 receive-pack: quarantine objects until pre-receive accepts
When a client pushes objects to us, index-pack checks the
objects themselves and then installs them into place. If we
then reject the push due to a pre-receive hook, we cannot
just delete the packfile; other processes may be depending
on it. We have to do a normal reachability check at this
point via `git gc`.

But such objects may hang around for weeks due to the
gc.pruneExpire grace period. And worse, during that time
they may be exploded from the pack into inefficient loose
objects.

Instead, this patch teaches receive-pack to put the new
objects into a "quarantine" temporary directory. We make
these objects available to the connectivity check and to the
pre-receive hook, and then install them into place only if
it is successful (and otherwise remove them as tempfiles).

2564d994c9 tmp-objdir: introduce API for temporary object directories

they cannot easily be deleted, as we don't know what other
processes may have started referencing them. We have to
clean them up with git-gc, which will apply the usual
reachability and grace-period checks.

This patch provides an alternative: it helps callers create
a temporary directory inside the object directory, and a
temporary environment which can be passed to sub-programs to
ask them to write there (the original object directory
remains accessible as an alternate of the temporary one).

ea0fc3b417 alternates: use fspathcmp to detect duplicates
On a case-insensitive filesystem, we should realize that
"a/objects" and "A/objects" are the same path. We already
use fspathcmp() to check against the main object directory,
but until recently we couldn't use it for comparing against
other alternates (because their paths were not
NUL-terminated strings). But now we can, so let's do so.

Note that we also need to adjust count-objects to load the
config, so that it can see the setting of core.ignorecase
(this is required by the test, but is also a general bugfix
for users of count-objects).

087b6d5840 sha1_file: always allow relative paths to alternates
We recursively expand alternates repositories, so that if A
borrows from B which borrows from C, A can see all objects.

For the root object database, we allow relative paths, so A
can point to B as "../B/objects". However, we currently do
not allow relative paths when recursing, so B must use an
absolute path to reach C.

That is an ancient protection from c2f493a (Transitively
read alternatives, 2006-05-07) that tries to avoid adding
the same alternate through two different paths. Since
5bdf0a8 (sha1_file: normalize alt_odb path before comparing
and storing, 2011-09-07), we use a normalized absolute path
for each alt_odb entry.

This means that in most cases the protection is no longer
necessary; we will detect the duplicate no matter how we got
there (but see below).  And it's a good idea to get rid of
it, as it creates an unnecessary complication when setting
up recursive alternates (B has to know that A is going to
borrow from it and make sure to use an absolute path).

Note that our normalization doesn't actually look at the
filesystem, so it can still be fooled by crossing symbolic
links. But that's also true of absolute paths, so it's not a
good reason to disallow only relative paths (it's
potentially a reason to switch to real_path(), but that's a
separate and non-trivial change).

We adjust the test script here to demonstrate that this now
works, and add new tests to show that the normalization does
indeed suppress duplicates.

5fe849d651 count-objects: report alternates via verbose mode
There's no way to get the list of alternates that git
computes internally; our tests only infer it based on which
objects are available. In addition to testing, knowing this
list may be helpful for somebody debugging their alternates
setup.

Let's add it to the "count-objects -v" output. We could give
it a separate flag, but there's not really any need.
"count-objects -v" is already a debugging catch-all for the
object database, its output is easily extensible to new data
items, and printing the alternates is not expensive (we
already had to find them to count the objects).

f7b7774f34 fill_sha1_file: write into a strbuf
It's currently the responsibility of the caller to give
fill_sha1_file() enough bytes to write into, leading them to
manually compute the required lengths. Instead, let's just
write into a strbuf so that it's impossible to get this
wrong.

The alt_odb caller already has a strbuf, so this makes
things strictly simpler. The other caller, sha1_file_name(),
uses a static PATH_MAX buffer and dies when it would
overflow. We can convert this to a static strbuf, which
means our allocation cost is amortized (and as a bonus, we
no longer have to worry about PATH_MAX being too short for
normal use).

This does introduce some small overhead in fill_sha1_file(),
as each strbuf_addchar() will check whether it needs to
grow. However, between the optimization in fec501d
(strbuf_addch: avoid calling strbuf_grow, 2015-04-16) and
the fact that this is not generally called in a tight loop
(after all, the next step is typically to access the file!)
this probably doesn't matter. And even if it did, the right
place to micro-optimize is inside fill_sha1_file(), by
calling a single strbuf_grow() there.

38dbe5f078 alternates: store scratch buffer as strbuf
We pre-size the scratch buffer to hold a loose object
filename of the form "xx/yyyy...", which leads to allocation
code that is hard to verify. We have to use some magic
numbers during the initial allocation, and then writers must
blindly assume that the buffer is big enough. Using a strbuf
makes it more clear that we cannot overflow.

Unfortunately, we do still need some magic numbers to grow
our strbuf before calling fill_sha1_path(), but the strbuf
growth is much closer to the point of use. This makes it
easier to see that it's correct, and opens the possibility
of pushing it even further down if fill_sha1_path() learns
to work on strbufs.

afbba2f09a fill_sha1_file: write "boring" characters
This function forms a sha1 as "xx/yyyy...", but skips over
the slot for the slash rather than writing it, leaving it to
the caller to do so. It also does not bother to put in a
trailing NUL, even though every caller would want it (we're
forming a path which by definition is not a directory, so
the only thing to do with it is feed it to a system call).

Let's make the lives of our callers easier by just writing
out the internal "/" and the NUL.

597f9134de alternates: use a separate scratch space
The alternate_object_database struct uses a single buffer
both for storing the path to the alternate, and as a scratch
buffer for forming object names. This is efficient (since
otherwise we'd end up storing the path twice), but it makes
life hard for callers who just want to know the path to the
alternate. They have to remember to stop reading after
"alt->name - alt->base" bytes, and to subtract one for the
trailing '/'.

It would be much simpler if they could simply access a
NUL-terminated path string. We could encapsulate this in a
function which puts a NUL in the scratch buffer and returns
the string, but that opens up questions about the lifetime
of the result. The first time another caller uses the
alternate, the scratch buffer may get other data tacked onto
it.

Let's instead just store the root path separately from the
scratch buffer. There aren't enough alternates being stored
for the duplicated data to matter for performance, and this
keeps things simple and safe for the callers.

29ec6af2b8 alternates: encapsulate alt->base munging
The alternate_object_database struct holds a path to the
alternate objects, but we also use that buffer as scratch
space for forming loose object filenames. Let's pull that
logic into a helper function so that we can more easily
modify it.

7f0fa2c02a alternates: provide helper for allocating alternate
Allocating a struct alternate_object_database is tricky, as
we must over-allocate the buffer to provide scratch space,
and then put in particular '/' and NUL markers.

Let's encapsulate this in a function so that the complexity
doesn't leak into callers (and so that we can modify it
later).

a5b34d2152 alternates: provide helper for adding to alternates list
The submodule code wants to temporarily add an alternate
object store to our in-memory alt_odb list, but does it
manually. Let's provide a helper so it can reuse the code in
link_alt_odb_entry().

While we're adding our new add_to_alternates_memory(), let's
document add_to_alternates_file(), as the two are related.
