We have tests that cover various filesystem-specific spellings of
".gitmodules", because we need to reliably identify that path for some
security checks. These are from dc2d9ba318 (is_{hfs,ntfs}_dotgitmodules:
add tests, 2018-05-12), with the actual code coming from e7cb0b4455
(is_ntfs_dotgit: match other .git files, 2018-05-11) and 0fc333ba20
(is_hfs_dotgit: match other .git files, 2018-05-02).
Those latter two commits also added similar matching functions for
.gitattributes and .gitignore. These ended up not being used in the
final series, and are currently dead code. But in preparation for them
being used in some fsck checks, let's make sure they actually work by
throwing a few basic tests at them. Likewise, let's cover .mailmap
(which does need matching code added).
I didn't bother with the whole battery of tests that we cover for
.gitmodules. These functions are all based on the same generic matcher,
so it's sufficient to test most of the corner cases just once.
Note that the ntfs magic prefix names in the tests come from the
algorithm described in e7cb0b4455 (and are different for each file).

If we have a full index, then we can convert it to a sparse index by
replacing directories outside of the sparse cone with sparse directory
entries. The convert_to_sparse() method does this, when the situation is
appropriate.
For now, we avoid converting the index to a sparse index if:
1. the index is split.
2. the index is already sparse.
3. sparse-checkout is disabled.
4. sparse-checkout does not use cone mode.
Finally, we currently limit the conversion to when the
GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX environment variable is enabled. A mode using Git
config will be added in a later change.
The trickiest thing about this conversion is that we might not be able
to mark a directory as a sparse directory just because it is outside the
sparse cone. There might be unmerged files within that directory, so we
need to look for those. Also, if there is some strange reason why a file
is not marked with CE_SKIP_WORKTREE, then we should give up on
converting that directory. There is still hope that some of its
subdirectories might be able to convert to sparse, so we keep looking
deeper.
The conversion process is assisted by the cache-tree extension. This is
calculated from the full index if it does not already exist. We then
abandon the cache-tree as it no longer applies to the newly-sparse
index. Thus, this cache-tree will be recalculated in every
sparse-full-sparse round-trip until we integrate the cache-tree
extension with the sparse index.
Some Git commands use the index after writing it. For example, 'git add'
will update the index, then write it to disk, then read its entries to
report information. To keep the in-memory index in a full state after
writing, we re-expand it to a full one after the write. This is wasteful
for commands that only write the index and do not read from it again,
but that is only the case until we make those commands "sparse aware."
We can compare the behavior of the sparse-index in
t1092-sparse-checkout-compability.sh by using GIT_TEST_SPARSE_INDEX=1
when operating on the 'sparse-index' repo. We can also compare the two
sparse repos directly, such as comparing their indexes (when expanded to
full in the case of the 'sparse-index' repo). We also verify that the
index is actually populated with sparse directory entries.
The 'checkout and reset (mixed)' test is marked for failure when
comparing a sparse repo to a full repo, but we can compare the two
sparse-checkout cases directly to ensure that we are not changing the
behavior when using a sparse index.

As we modify the sparse-checkout definition, we perform index operations
on a pattern_list that only exists in-memory. This allows easy backing
out in case the index update fails.
However, if the index write itself cares about the sparse-checkout
pattern set, we need access to that in-memory copy. Place a pointer to
a 'struct pattern_list' in the index so we can access this on-demand.

We will mark an in-memory index_state as having sparse directory entries
with the sparse_index bit. These currently cannot exist, but we will add
a mechanism for collapsing a full index to a sparse one in a later
change. That will happen at write time, so we must first allow parsing
the format before writing it.
Commands or methods that require a full index in order to operate can
call ensure_full_index() to expand that index in-memory. This requires
parsing trees using that index's repository.
Sparse directory entries have a specific 'ce_mode' value. The macro
S_ISSPARSEDIR(ce->ce_mode) can check if a cache_entry 'ce' has this type.
This ce_mode is not possible with the existing index formats, so we don't
also verify all properties of a sparse-directory entry, which are:
1. ce->ce_mode == 0040000
2. ce->flags & CE_SKIP_WORKTREE is true
3. ce->name[ce->namelen - 1] == '/' (ends in dir separator)
4. ce->oid references a tree object.
These are all semi-enforced in ensure_full_index() to some extent. Any
deviation will cause a warning at minimum or a failure in the worst
case.

At 1d718a5108 ("do not overwrite untracked symlinks", 2011-02-20),
symlink.c:check_leading_path() started returning different codes for
FL_ENOENT and FL_SYMLINK. But one of its callers, unlink_entry(), was
not adjusted for this change, so it started to follow symlinks on the
leading path of to-be-removed entries. Fix that and add a regression
test.
Note that since 1d718a5108 check_leading_path() no longer differentiates
the case where it found a symlink in the path's leading components from
the cases where it found a regular file or failed to lstat() the
component. So, a side effect of this current patch is that
unlink_entry() now returns early in all of these three cases. And
because we no longer try to unlink such paths, we also don't get the
warning from remove_or_warn().
For the regular file and symlink cases, it's questionable whether the
warning was useful in the first place: unlink_entry() removes tracked
paths that should no longer be present in the state we are checking out
to. If the path had its leading dir replaced by another file, it means
that the basename already doesn't exist, so there is no need for a
warning. Sure, we are leaving a regular file or symlink behind at the
path's dirname, but this file is either untracked now (so again, no
need to warn), or it will be replaced by a tracked file during the next
phase of this checkout operation.
As for failing to lstat() one of the leading components, the basename
might still exist only we cannot unlink it (e.g. due to the lack of the
required permissions). Since the user expect it to be removed
(especially with checkout's --no-overlay option), add back the warning
in this more relevant case.

checkout: fix bug that makes checkout follow symlinks in leading path
Before checking out a file, we have to confirm that all of its leading
components are real existing directories. And to reduce the number of
lstat() calls in this process, we cache the last leading path known to
contain only directories. However, when a path collision occurs (e.g.
when checking out case-sensitive files in case-insensitive file
systems), a cached path might have its file type changed on disk,
leaving the cache on an invalid state. Normally, this doesn't bring
any bad consequences as we usually check out files in index order, and
therefore, by the time the cached path becomes outdated, we no longer
need it anyway (because all files in that directory would have already
been written).
But, there are some users of the checkout machinery that do not always
follow the index order. In particular: checkout-index writes the paths
in the same order that they appear on the CLI (or stdin); and the
delayed checkout feature -- used when a long-running filter process
replies with "status=delayed" -- postpones the checkout of some entries,
thus modifying the checkout order.
When we have to check out an out-of-order entry and the lstat() cache is
invalid (due to a previous path collision), checkout_entry() may end up
using the invalid data and thrusting that the leading components are
real directories when, in reality, they are not. In the best case
scenario, where the directory was replaced by a regular file, the user
will get an error: "fatal: unable to create file 'foo/bar': Not a
directory". But if the directory was replaced by a symlink, checkout
could actually end up following the symlink and writing the file at a
wrong place, even outside the repository. Since delayed checkout is
affected by this bug, it could be used by an attacker to write
arbitrary files during the clone of a maliciously crafted repository.
Some candidate solutions considered were to disable the lstat() cache
during unordered checkouts or sort the entries before passing them to
the checkout machinery. But both ideas include some performance penalty
and they don't future-proof the code against new unordered use cases.
Instead, we now manually reset the lstat cache whenever we successfully
remove a directory. Note: We are not even checking whether the directory
was the same as the lstat cache points to because we might face a
scenario where the paths refer to the same location but differ due to
case folding, precomposed UTF-8 issues, or the presence of `..`
components in the path. Two regression tests, with case-collisions and
utf8-collisions, are also added for both checkout-index and delayed
checkout.
Note: to make the previously mentioned clone attack unfeasible, it would
be sufficient to reset the lstat cache only after the remove_subtree()
call inside checkout_entry(). This is the place where we would remove a
directory whose path collides with the path of another entry that we are
currently trying to check out (possibly a symlink). However, in the
interest of a thorough fix that does not leave Git open to
similar-but-not-identical attack vectors, we decided to intercept
all `rmdir()` calls in one fell swoop.
This addresses CVE-2021-21300.

While we currently have the `GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS` environment variable
which can be used to pass runtime configuration data to git processes,
it's an internal implementation detail and not supposed to be used by
end users.
Next to being for internal use only, this way of passing config entries
has a major downside: the config keys need to be parsed as they contain
both key and value in a single variable. As such, it is left to the user
to escape any potentially harmful characters in the value, which is
quite hard to do if values are controlled by a third party.
This commit thus adds a new way of adding config entries via the
environment which gets rid of this shortcoming. If the user passes the
`GIT_CONFIG_COUNT=$n` environment variable, Git will parse environment
variable pairs `GIT_CONFIG_KEY_$i` and `GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_$i` for each
`i` in `[0,n)`.
While the same can be achieved with `git -c <name>=<value>`, one may
wish to not do so for potentially sensitive information. E.g. if one
wants to set `http.extraHeader` to contain an authentication token,
doing so via `-c` would trivially leak those credentials via e.g. ps(1),
which typically also shows command arguments.

Currently, we have a function to resolve paths, strbuf_realpath. This
function canonicalizes paths like realpath(3), but permits a trailing
component to be absent from the file system. In other words, this is
the behavior of the GNU realpath(1) without any arguments.
In the future, we'll need this same behavior, except that we want to
allow for any number of missing trailing components, which is the
behavior of GNU realpath(1) with the -m option. This is useful because
we'll want to canonicalize a path that may point to a not yet present
path under the .git directory. For example, a user may want to know
where an arbitrary ref would be stored if it existed in the file system.
Let's refactor strbuf_realpath to move most of the code to an internal
function and then pass it two flags to control its behavior. We'll add
a strbuf_realpath_forgiving function that has our new behavior, and
leave strbuf_realpath with the older, stricter behavior.

core.sharedRepository defines which permissions Git should set when
creating files in $GIT_DIR, so that the repository may be shared with
other users. But (in its current form) the setting shouldn't affect how
files are created in the working tree. This is not respected by apply
and am (which uses apply), when creating leading directories:
$ cat d.patch
diff --git a/d/f b/d/f
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..e69de29
Apply without the setting:
$ umask 0077
$ git apply d.patch
$ ls -ld d
drwx------
Apply with the setting:
$ umask 0077
$ git -c core.sharedRepository=0770 apply d.patch
$ ls -ld d
drwxrws---
Only the leading directories are affected. That's because they are
created with safe_create_leading_directories(), which calls
adjust_shared_perm() to set the directories' permissions based on
core.sharedRepository. To fix that, let's introduce a variant of this
function that ignores the setting, and use it in apply. Also add a

of each variant according to the destination (working tree or git

If a user is cloning a SHA-1 repository with GIT_DEFAULT_HASH set to
"sha256", then we can end up with a repository where the repository
format version is 0 but the extensions.objectformat key is set to
"sha256". This is both wrong (the user has a SHA-1 repository) and
nonfunctional (because the extension cannot be used in a v0 repository).
This happens because in a clone, we initially set up the repository, and
then change its algorithm based on what the remote side tells us it's
using. We've initially set up the repository as SHA-256 in this case,
and then later on reset the repository version without clearing the
extension.
We could just always set the extension in this case, but that would mean
that our SHA-1 repositories weren't compatible with older Git versions,
even though there's no reason why they shouldn't be. And we also don't
want to initialize the repository as SHA-1 initially, since that means
if we're cloning an empty repository, we'll have failed to honor the
GIT_DEFAULT_HASH variable and will end up with a SHA-1 repository, not a
SHA-256 repository.
Neither of those are appealing, so let's tell the repository
initialization code if we're doing a reinit like this, and if so, to
clear the extension if we're using SHA-1. This makes sure we produce a
valid and functional repository and doesn't break any of our other use
cases.

gives a hard/fatal error. Even though it inherently is impossible
to give a correct answer because the reflog entries lose some
information (e.g. "@{u}" does not record what branch the user was
on hence which branch 'the upstream' needs to be computed, and even
if the record were available, the relationship between branches may
have changed), at least hide the error to allow "status" show its
output.
* jt/interpret-branch-name-fallback:
wt-status: tolerate dangling marks
refs: move dwim_ref() to header file
sha1-name: replace unsigned int with option struct
When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch
not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this:
git clone $URL client
cd client
git checkout @{u}
git status
no status is printed, but instead an error message:
fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch
(This error message when running "git branch" persists even after
checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.)
This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD
detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't
work because HEAD no longer points to a branch.
Therefore, when calculating the status of a worktree, tolerate dangling
marks. This is done by adding an additional parameter to
dwim_ref() and repo_dwim_ref().
