parse_feature_value() takes an offset, and uses it to seek past the
point in features_list that we've already seen. However if the feature
being searched for does not specify a value, the offset is not
updated. Therefore if we call parse_feature_value() in a loop on a
value-less feature, we'll keep on parsing the same feature over and over
again. This usually isn't an issue: there's no point in using
next_server_feature_value() to search for repeated instances of the same
capability unless that capability typically specifies a value - but a
broken server could send a response that omits the value for a feature
even when we are expecting a value.
Therefore we add an offset update calculation for the no-value case,
which helps ensure that loops using next_server_feature_value() will
always terminate.
next_server_feature_value(), and the offset calculation, were first
added in 2.28 in 2c6a403d96 (connect: add function to parse multiple
v1 capability values, 2020-05-25).

The difftool dir-diff mode handles symlinks by replacing them with their
readlink(2) values. This allows diff tools to see changes to symlinks
as if they were regular text diffs with the old and new path values.
This is analogous to what "git diff" displays when symlinks change.
The temporary diff directories that are created initially contain
symlinks because they get checked-out using a temporary index that
retains the original symlinks as checked-in to the repository.
A bug was introduced when difftool was rewritten in C that made
difftool write the readlink(2) contents into the pointed-to file rather
than the symlink itself. The write was going through the symlink and
writing to its target rather than writing to the symlink path itself.
Replace symlinks with raw text files by unlinking the symlink path
before writing the readlink(2) content into them.
When 18ec800512 (difftool: handle modified symlinks in dir-diff mode,
2017-03-15) added handling for modified symlinks this bug got recorded
in the test suite. The tests included the pointed-to symlink target
paths. These paths were being reported because difftool was erroneously
writing to them, but they should have never been reported nor written.
Correct the modified-symlinks test cases by removing the target files
from the expected output.
Add a test to ensure that symlinks are written with the readlink(2)
values and that the target files contain their original content.

When HTTP/2 is in use, we fail to correctly redact "Authorization" (and
other) headers in our GIT_TRACE_CURL output.
We get the headers in our CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION callback, curl_trace().
It passes them along to curl_dump_header(), which in turn checks
redact_sensitive_header(). We see the headers as a text buffer like:
Host: ...
Authorization: Basic ...
After breaking it into lines, we match each header using skip_prefix().
This is case-sensitive, even though HTTP headers are case-insensitive.
This has worked reliably in the past because these headers are generated
by curl itself, which is predictable in what it sends.
But when HTTP/2 is in use, instead we get a lower-case "authorization:"
header, and we fail to match it. The fix is simple: we should match with
skip_iprefix().
Testing is more complicated, though. We do have a test for the redacting
feature, but we don't hit the problem case because our test Apache setup
does not understand HTTP/2. You can reproduce the issue by applying this
on top of the test change in this patch:

but this has a few issues:
- it's not necessarily portable. The http2 apache module might not be
available on all systems. Further, the http2 module isn't compatible
with the prefork mpm, so we have to switch to something else. But we
don't necessarily know what's available. It would be nice if we
could have conditional config, but IfModule only tells us if a
module is already loaded, not whether it is available at all.
This might be a non-issue. The http tests are already optional, and
modern-enough systems may just have both of these. But...
- if we do this, then we'd no longer be testing HTTP/1.1 at all. I'm
not sure how much that matters since it's all handled by curl under
the hood, but I'd worry that some detail leaks through. We'd
probably want two scripts running similar tests, one with HTTP/2 and
one with HTTP/1.1.
- speaking of which, a later test fails with the patch above! The
problem is that it is making sure we used a chunked
transfer-encoding by looking for that header in the trace. But
HTTP/2 doesn't support that, as it has its own streaming mechanisms
(the overall operation works fine; we just don't see the header in
the trace).
Furthermore, even with the changes above, this test still does not
detect the current failure, because we see _both_ HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2
requests, which confuse it. Quoting only the interesting bits from the
resulting trace file, we first see:
=> Send header: GET /auth/smart/repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
=> Send header: Connection: Upgrade, HTTP2-Settings
=> Send header: Upgrade: h2c
=> Send header: HTTP2-Settings: AAMAAABkAAQCAAAAAAIAAAAA
<= Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
<= Recv header: Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2021 20:03:32 GMT
<= Recv header: Server: Apache/2.4.49 (Debian)
<= Recv header: WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="git-auth"
So the client asks for HTTP/2, but Apache does not do the upgrade for
the 401 response. Then the client repeats with credentials:
=> Send header: GET /auth/smart/repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
=> Send header: Authorization: Basic <redacted>
=> Send header: Connection: Upgrade, HTTP2-Settings
=> Send header: Upgrade: h2c
=> Send header: HTTP2-Settings: AAMAAABkAAQCAAAAAAIAAAAA
<= Recv header: HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
<= Recv header: Upgrade: h2c
<= Recv header: Connection: Upgrade
<= Recv header: HTTP/2 200
<= Recv header: content-type: application/x-git-upload-pack-advertisement
So the client does properly redact there, because we're speaking
HTTP/1.1, and the server indicates it can do the upgrade. And then the
client will make further requests using HTTP/2:
=> Send header: POST /auth/smart/repo.git/git-upload-pack HTTP/2
=> Send header: authorization: Basic dXNlckBob3N0OnBhc3NAaG9zdA==
=> Send header: content-type: application/x-git-upload-pack-request
And there we can see that the credential is _not_ redacted. This part of
the test is what gets confused:
# Ensure that there is no "Basic" followed by a base64 string, but that
# the auth details are redacted
! grep "Authorization: Basic [0-9a-zA-Z+/]" trace &&
grep "Authorization: Basic <redacted>" trace
The first grep does not match the un-redacted HTTP/2 header, because
it insists on an uppercase "A". And the second one does find the
HTTP/1.1 header. So as far as the test is concerned, everything is OK,
but it failed to notice the un-redacted lines.
We can make this test (and the other related ones) more robust by adding
"-i" to grep case-insensitively. This isn't really doing anything for
now, since we're not actually speaking HTTP/2, but it future-proofs the
tests for a day when we do (either we add explicit HTTP/2 test support,
or it's eventually enabled by default by our Apache+curl test setup).
And it doesn't hurt in the meantime for the tests to be more careful.
The change to use "grep -i", coupled with the changes to use HTTP/2
shown above, causes the test to fail with the current code, and pass
after this patch is applied.
And finally, there's one other way to demonstrate the issue (and how I
actually found it originally). Looking at GIT_TRACE_CURL output against
github.com, you'll see the unredacted output, even if you didn't set
http.version. That's because setting it is only necessary for curl to
send the extra headers in its HTTP/1.1 request that say "Hey, I speak
HTTP/2; upgrade if you do, too". But for a production site speaking
https, the server advertises via ALPN, a TLS extension, that it supports
HTTP/2, and the client can immediately start using it.

When cloning a repository with an unborn HEAD, we'll set the local HEAD
to match it only if the local repository is non-bare. This is
inconsistent with all other combinations:
remote HEAD | local repo | local HEAD
-----------------------------------------------
points to commit | non-bare | same as remote
points to commit | bare | same as remote
unborn | non-bare | same as remote
unborn | bare | local default
So I don't think this is some clever or subtle behavior, but just a bug
in 4f37d45706 (clone: respect remote unborn HEAD, 2021-02-05). And it's
easy to see how we ended up there. Before that commit, the code to set
up the HEAD for an empty repo was guarded by "if (!option_bare)". That's
because the only thing it did was call install_branch_config(), and we
don't want to do so for a bare repository (unborn HEAD or not).
That commit put the handling of unborn HEADs into the same block, since
those also need to call install_branch_config(). But the unborn case has
an additional side effect of calling create_symref(), and we want that
to happen whether we are bare or not.
This patch just pulls all of the "figure out the default branch" code
out of the "!option_bare" block. Only the actual config installation is
kept there.
Note that this does mean we might allocate "ref" and not use it (if the
remote is empty but did not advertise an unborn HEAD). But that's not
really a big deal since this isn't a hot code path, and it keeps the
code simple. The alternative would be handling unborn_head_target
separately, but that gets confusing since its memory ownership is
tangled up with the "ref" variable.
There's just one new test, for the case we're fixing. The other ones in
the table are handled elsewhere (the unborn non-bare case just above,
and the actually-born cases in t5601, t5606, and t5609, as they do not
require v2's "unborn" protocol extension).

t1400.190 sometimes fails or even hangs because of the way it uses
fifos. Our goal is to interactively read and write lines from
update-ref, so we have two fifos, in and out. We open a descriptor
connected to "in" and redirect output to that, so that update-ref does
not see EOF as it would if we opened and closed it for each "echo" call.
But we don't do the same for the output. This leads to a race where our
"read response <out" has not yet opened the fifo, but update-ref tries
to write to it and gets SIGPIPE. This can result in the test failing, or
worse, hanging as we wait forever for somebody to write to the pipe.
This is the same proble we fixed in 4783e7ea83 (t0008: avoid SIGPIPE
race condition on fifo, 2013-07-12), and we can fix it the same way, by
opening a second long-running descriptor.

The v2 ls-refs command may receive extra arguments from the client, one
per pkt-line. The spec is pretty clear that the arguments must come from
a specified set, but we silently ignore any unknown entries. For a
well-behaved client this doesn't matter, but it makes testing and
debugging more confusing. Let's tighten this up to match the spec.
In theory this liberal behavior _could_ be useful for extending the
protocol. But:
- every other part of the protocol requires that the server first
indicate that it supports the argument; this includes the fetch and
object-info commands, plus the "unborn" capability added to ls-refs
itself
- it's not a very good extension mechanism anyway; without the server
advertising support, clients would have no idea if the argument was
silently ignored, or accepted and simply had no effect
So we're not really losing anything by tightening this.

Our table of v2 "capabilities" contains everything we might tell the
client we support. But there are differences in how we expect the client
to respond. Some of the entries are true capabilities (i.e., we expect
the client to say "yes, I support this"), and some are ones we expect
them to send as commands (with "command=ls-refs" or similar).
When we receive a capability used as a command, we complain about that.
But when we receive a command used as a capability (e.g., just "ls-refs"
in a pkt-line by itself), we silently ignore it.
This isn't really hurting anything (clients shouldn't send it, and we'll
ignore it), but we can tighten up the protocol to match what we expect
to happen.
There are two new tests here. The first one checks a capability used as
a command, which already passes. The second tests a command as a
capability, which this patch fixes.

When we see a line from the client like "command=ls-refs", we parse
everything after the equals sign as a capability, which we check against
our capabilities table. If we don't recognize the command (e.g.,
"command=foo"), we'll reject it.
But in parse_command(), we use the same get_capability() parser for
parsing non-command lines. So if we see "command=ls-refs=foo", we will
feed "ls-refs=foo" to get_capability(), which will say "OK, that's
ls-refs, with value 'foo'". But then we simply ignore the value
entirely.
The client is violating the spec here, which says:
command = PKT-LINE("command=" key LF)
key = 1*(ALPHA | DIGIT | "-_")
I.e., the key is not even allowed to have an equals sign in it. Whereas
a real non-command capability does allow a value:
capability = PKT-LINE(key[=value] LF)
So by reusing the same get_capability() parser, we are mixing up the
"key" and "capability" tokens. However, since that parser tells us
whether it saw an "=", we can still use it; we just need to reject any
input that produces a non-NULL value field.
The current behavior isn't really hurting anything (the client should
never send such a request, and if it does, we just ignore the "value"
part). But since it does violate the spec, let's tighten it up to
prevent any surprising behavior.

Because each "ref-prefix" capability from the client comes in its own
pkt-line, there's no limit to the number of them that a misbehaving
client may send. We read them all into a strvec, which means the client
can waste arbitrary amounts of our memory by just sending us "ref-prefix
foo" over and over.
One possible solution is to just drop the connection when the limit is
reached. If we set it high enough, then only misbehaving or malicious
clients would hit it. But "high enough" is vague, and it's unfriendly if
we guess wrong and a legitimate client hits this.
But we can do better. Since supporting the ref-prefix capability is
optional anyway, the client has to further cull the response based on
their own patterns. So we can simply ignore the patterns once we cross a
certain threshold. Note that we have to ignore _all_ patterns, not just
the ones past our limit (since otherwise we'd send too little data).
The limit here is fairly arbitrary, and probably much higher than anyone
would need in practice. It might be worth limiting it further, if only
because we check it linearly (so with "m" local refs and "n" patterns,
we do "m * n" string comparisons). But if we care about optimizing this,
an even better solution may be a more advanced data structure anyway.
I didn't bother making the limit configurable, since it's so high and
since Git should behave correctly in either case. It wouldn't be too
hard to do, but it makes both the code and documentation more complex.

We check that git.html exists, regardless of the page the user wants to open.
Checking whether the requested page exists instead gives us a smoother user
experience in two use cases:
1) The requested page doesn't exist
When calling a git command and there is an error, most users reasonably expect
git to produce an error message on the standard error stream, but in this case
we pass the filepath to git web--browse which passes it on to a browser (or a
helper program like xdg-open or start that should in turn open a browser)
without any error and many GUI based browsers or helpers won't output such a
message onto the standard error stream.
Especially the helper programs tend to show the corresponding error message in
a message box and wait for user input before exiting. This leaves users in
interactive console sessions without an error message in their console,
without a console prompt and without the help page they expected.
2) git.html is missing for some reason, but the user asked for some other page
We currently refuse to show any local html help page when we can't find
git.html. Even if the requested help page exists. If we check for the requested
page instead, we can show the user all available pages and only error out on
those that don't exist.

In preparation for a future patch that will allow building with
Unix Sockets in Windows, workaround a couple of issues from the
Mingw-W64 compatibility layer.
test -S is not able to detect that a file is a socket, so use
test -e instead (through a library function).
`mkdir -m` can't represent a valid ACL directly and fails with
permission problems, so instead call mkdir followed by chmod, which
has been enhanced to do so.
The last invocation of mkdir would likely need the same treatment
but SYMLINK is unlikely to be enabled on Windows so it has been
punted for now.

As was noted in 1a85b49b87 (parse-options: make OPT_ARGUMENT() more
useful, 2019-03-14) there's only ever been one user of the
OPT_ARGUMENT(), that user was added in 20de316e33 (difftool: allow
running outside Git worktrees with --no-index, 2019-03-14).
The OPT_ARGUMENT() feature itself was added way back in
580d5bffde (parse-options: new option type to treat an option-like
parameter as an argument., 2008-03-02), but as discussed in
1a85b49b87 wasn't used until 20de316e33 in 2019.
Now that the preceding commit has migrated this code over to using
"struct strvec" to manage the "args" member of a "struct
child_process", we can just use that directly instead of relying on
OPT_ARGUMENT.
This has a minor change in behavior in that if we'll pass --no-index
we'll now always pass it as the first argument, before we'd pass it in
whatever position the caller did. Preserving this was the real value
of OPT_ARGUMENT(), but as it turns out we didn't need that either. We
can always inject it as the first argument, the other end will parse
it just the same.
Note that we cannot remove the "out" and "cpidx" members of "struct
parse_opt_ctx_t" added in 580d5bffde, while they were introduced with
OPT_ARGUMENT() we since used them for other things.
