The expected call sequence is for the caller to use match_pathspec()
repeatedly on a set of pathspecs, accumulating the "hits" in a
separate array, and then call this function to diagnose a pathspec
that never matched anything, as that can indicate a typo from the
command line, e.g. "git commit Maekfile".
Many builtin commands use this function from builtin/ls-files.c,
which is not a very healthy arrangement. ls-files might have been
the first command to feel the need for such a helper, but the need
is shared by everybody who uses the "match and then report" pattern.
Move it to dir.c where match_pathspec() is defined.

If we are repacking with "-ad", we will drop any unreachable
objects. Likewise, using "-Ad --unpack-unreachable=<time>"
will drop any old, unreachable objects. In these cases, we
want to make sure the reachability we compute with "--all"
is complete. We can do this by passing GIT_REF_PARANOIA=1 in
the environment to pack-objects.
Note that "-Ad" is safe already, because it only loosens
unreachable objects. It is up to "git prune" to avoid
deleting them.

Prune should know about broken objects at the tips of refs,
so that we can feed them to our traversal rather than
ignoring them. It's better for us to abort the operation on
the broken object than it is to start deleting objects with
an incomplete view of the reachability namespace.
Note that for missing objects, aborting is the best we can
do. For a badly-named ref, we technically could use its sha1
as a reachability tip. However, the iteration code just
feeds us a null sha1, so there would be a reasonable amount
of code involved to pass down our wishes. It's not really
worth trying to do better, because this is a case that
should happen extremely rarely, and the message we provide:
fatal: unable to parse object: refs/heads/bogus:name
is probably enough to point the user in the right direction.

If clone fails, we generally try to clean up any directories
we've created. We do this by installing an atexit handler,
so that we don't have to manually trigger cleanup. However,
since we install this after touching the filesystem, any
errors between our initial mkdir() and our atexit() call
will result in us leaving a crufty directory around.
We can fix this by moving our atexit() call earlier. It's OK
to do it before the junk_work_tree variable is set, because
remove_junk makes sure the variable is initialized. This
means we "activate" the handler by assigning to the
junk_work_tree variable, which we now bump down to just
after we call mkdir(). We probably do not want to do it
before, because a plausible reason for mkdir() to fail is
EEXIST (i.e., we are racing with another "git init"), and we
would not want to remove their work.
OTOH, this is probably not that big a deal; we will allow
cloning into an empty directory (and skip the mkdir), which
is already racy (i.e., one clone may see the other's empty
dir and start writing into it). Still, it does not hurt to
err on the side of caution here.
Note that writing into junk_work_tree and junk_git_dir after
installing the handler is also technically racy, as we call
our handler on an async signal. Depending on the platform,
we could see a sheared write to the variables. Traditionally
we have not worried about this, and indeed we already do
this later in the function. If we want to address that, it
can come as a separate topic.

When grep is called with the --quiet option, the pager is initialized
despite not being used. When the pager is "less", anything output by
previous commands and not ended with a newline is overwritten:
$ echo -n aaa; echo bbb
aaabbb
$ echo -n aaa; git grep -q foo; echo bbb
bbb
This can be worked around, for example, by making sure STDOUT is not a
TTY or more directly by setting git's pager to "cat":
$ echo -n aaa; git grep -q foo > /dev/null; echo bbb
aaabbb
$ echo -n aaa; PAGER=cat git grep -q foo; echo bbb
aaabbb
But prevent calling the pager in the first place, which would also
save an unnecessary fork().

Because Git tracks symbolic links as symbolic links, a path that
has a symbolic link in its leading part (e.g. path/to/dir/file,
where path/to/dir is a symbolic link to somewhere else, be it
inside or outside the working tree) can never appear in a patch
that validly applies, unless the same patch first removes the
symbolic link to allow a directory to be created there.
Detect and reject such a patch.
Things to note:
- Unfortunately, we cannot reuse the has_symlink_leading_path()
from dir.c, as that is only about the working tree, but "git
apply" can be told to apply the patch only to the index or to
both the index and to the working tree.
- We cannot directly use has_symlink_leading_path() even when we
are applying only to the working tree, as an early patch of a
valid input may remove a symbolic link path/to/dir and then a
later patch of the input may create a path path/to/dir/file, but
"git apply" first checks the input without touching either the
index or the working tree. The leading symbolic link check must
be done on the interim result we compute in-core (i.e. after the
first patch, there is no path/to/dir symbolic link and it is
perfectly valid to create path/to/dir/file).
Similarly, when an input creates a symbolic link path/to/dir and
then creates a file path/to/dir/file, we need to flag it as an
error without actually creating path/to/dir symbolic link in the
filesystem.
Instead, for any patch in the input that leaves a path (i.e. a non
deletion) in the result, we check all leading paths against the
resulting tree that the patch would create by inspecting all the
patches in the input and then the target of patch application
(either the index or the working tree).
This way, we catch a mischief or a mistake to add a symbolic link
path/to/dir and a file path/to/dir/file at the same time, while
allowing a valid patch that removes a symbolic link path/to/dir and
then adds a file path/to/dir/file.

We should reject a patch, whether it renames/copies dir/file to
elsewhere with or without modificiation, or updates dir/file in
place, if "dir/" part is actually a symbolic link to elsewhere,
by making sure that the code to read the preimage does not read
from a path that is beyond a symbolic link.

We currently read the preimage to apply a patch from the index only
when the --cached option is given. Do so also when the command is
running under the --index option. With --index, the index entry and
the working tree file for a path that is involved in a patch must be
identical, so this should not affect the result, but by reading from
the index, we will get the protection to avoid reading an unintended
path beyond a symbolic link automatically.

By default, a patch that affects outside the working area (either a
Git controlled working tree, or the current working directory when
"git apply" is used as a replacement of GNU patch) is rejected as a
mistake (or a mischief). Git itself does not create such a patch,
unless the user bends over backwards and specifies a non-standard
prefix to "git diff" and friends.
When `git apply` is used as a "better GNU patch", the user can pass
the `--unsafe-paths` option to override this safety check. This
option has no effect when `--index` or `--cached` is in use.
The new test was stolen from Jeff King with slight enhancements.
Note that a few new tests for touching outside the working area by
following a symbolic link are still expected to fail at this step,
but will be fixed in later steps.

Under --whitespace=fix option, match_fragment() function examines
the preimage (the common context and the removed lines in the patch)
and the file being patched and checks if they match after correcting
all whitespace errors. When they are found to match, the common
context lines in the preimage is replaced with the fixed copy,
because these lines will then be copied to the corresponding place
in the postimage by a later call to update_pre_post_images(). Lines
that are added in the postimage, under --whitespace=fix, have their
whitespace errors already fixed when apply_one_fragment() prepares
the preimage and the postimage, so in the end, application of the
patch can be done by replacing the block of text in the file being
patched that matched the preimage with what is in the postimage that
was updated by update_pre_post_images().
In the earlier days, fixing whitespace errors always resulted in
reduction of size, either collapsing runs of spaces in the indent to
a tab or removing the trailing whitespaces. These days, however,
some whitespace error fix results in extending the size.
250b3c6c (apply --whitespace=fix: avoid running over the postimage
buffer, 2013-03-22) tried to compute the final postimage size but
its math was flawed. It counted the size of the block of text in
the original being patched after fixing the whitespace errors on its
lines that correspond to the preimage. That number does not have
much to do with how big the final postimage would be.
Instead count (1) the added lines in the postimage, whose size is
the same as in the final patch result because their whitespace
errors have already been corrected, and (2) the fixed size of the
lines that are common.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
"git apply --whitespace=fix" used to be able to assume that fixing
errors will always reduce the size by e.g. stripping whitespaces at
the end of lines or collapsing runs of spaces into tabs at the
beginning of lines. An update to accomodate fixes that lengthens
the result by e.g. expanding leading tabs into spaces were made long
time ago but the logic miscounted the necessary space after such
whitespace fixes, leading to either under-allocation or over-usage
of already allocated space.
Illustrate this with a runtime sanity-check to protect us from
future breakage. The test was stolen from Kyle McKay who helped
to identify the problem.
