Traditionally, the tests that try commands that work on the

43f3afc6bc t5504: handle expected output from SIGPIPE death
Commit 8bf4bec (add "ok=sigpipe" to test_must_fail and use
it to fix flaky tests, 2015-11-27) taught t5504 to handle
"git push" racily exiting with SIGPIPE rather than failing.

However, one of the tests checks the output of the command,
as well. In the SIGPIPE case, we will not have produced any
output. If we want the test to be truly non-flaky, we have
to accept either output.

9ff18faf2f fetch-pack: ignore SIGPIPE in sideband demuxer
If the other side feeds us a bogus pack, index-pack (or
unpack-objects) may die early, before consuming all of its
input. As a result, the sideband demuxer may get SIGPIPE
(racily, depending on whether our data made it into the pipe
buffer or not). If this happens and we are compiled with
pthread support, it will take down the main thread, too.

This isn't the end of the world, as the main process will
just die() anyway when it sees index-pack failed. But it
does mean we don't get a chance to say "fatal: index-pack
failed" or similar. And it also means that we racily fail
t5504, as we sometimes die() and sometimes are killed by
SIGPIPE.

So let's ignore SIGPIPE while demuxing the sideband. We are
already careful to check the return value of write(), so we
won't waste time writing to a broken pipe. The caller will
notice the error return from the async thread, though in
practice we don't even get that far, as we die() as soon as
we see that index-pack failed.

The non-sideband case is already fine; we let index-pack
read straight from the socket, so there is no SIGPIPE at
all. Technically the non-threaded async case is also OK
without this (the forked async process gets SIGPIPE), but
it's not worth distinguishing from the threaded case here.

9658846ce3 write_or_die: handle EPIPE in async threads
When write_or_die() sees EPIPE, it treats it specially by
converting it into a SIGPIPE death. We obviously cannot
ignore it, as the write has failed and the caller expects us
to die. But likewise, we cannot just call die(), because
printing any message at all would be a nuisance during
normal operations.

However, this is a problem if write_or_die() is called from
a thread. Our raised signal ends up killing the whole
process, when logically we just need to kill the thread
(after all, if we are ignoring SIGPIPE, there is good reason
to think that the main thread is expecting to handle it).

Inside an async thread, the die() code already does the
right thing, because we use our custom die_async() routine,
which calls pthread_join(). So ideally we would piggy-back
on that, and simply call:

  die_quietly_with_code(141);

or similar. But refactoring the die code to do this is
surprisingly non-trivial. The die_routines themselves handle
both printing and the decision of the exit code. Every one
of them would have to be modified to take new parameters for
the code, and to tell us to be quiet.

Instead, we can just teach write_or_die() to check for the
async case and handle it specially. We do have to build an
interface to abstract the async exit, but it's simple and
self-contained. If we had many call-sites that wanted to do
this die_quietly_with_code(), this approach wouldn't scale
as well, but we don't. This is the only place where do this
weird exit trick.

30598ad06f config: rename git_config_set to git_config_set_gently
The desired default behavior for `git_config_set` is to die
whenever an error occurs. Dying is the default for a lot of
internal functions when failures occur and is in this case the
right thing to do for most callers as otherwise we might run into
inconsistent repositories without noticing.

As some code may rely on the actual return values for
`git_config_set` we still require the ability to invoke these
functions without aborting. Rename the existing `git_config_set`
functions to `git_config_set_gently` to keep them available for
those callers.

aac4fac168 get_sha1: don't die() on bogus search strings
The get_sha1() function generally returns an error code
rather than dying, and we sometimes speculatively call it
with something that may be a revision or a pathspec, in
order to see which one it might be.

If it sees a bogus ":/" search string, though, it complains,
without giving the caller the opportunity to recover. We can
demonstrate this in t6133 by looking for ":/*.t", which
should mean "*.t at the root of the tree", but instead dies
because of the invalid regex (the "*" has nothing to operate
on).

We can fix this by returning an error rather than calling
die(). Unfortunately, the tradeoff is that the error message
is slightly worse in cases where we _do_ know we have a rev.
E.g., running "git log ':/*.t' --" before yielded:

  fatal: Invalid search pattern: *.t

and now we get only:

  fatal: bad revision ':/*.t'

There's not a simple way to fix this short of passing a
"quiet" flag all the way through the get_sha1() stack.

df714f81a7 check_filename: tighten dwim-wildcard ambiguity
When specifying both revisions and pathnames, we allow
"<rev> -- <pathspec>" to be spelled without the "--" as long
as it is not ambiguous. The original logic was something
like:

  1. Resolve each item with get_sha1(). If successful,
     we know it can be a <rev>. Verify that it _isn't_ a
     filename, using verify_non_filename(), and complain of
     ambiguity otherwise.

  2. If get_sha1() didn't succeed, make sure that it _is_
     a file, using verify_filename(). If not, complain
     that it is neither a <rev> nor a <pathspec>.

Both verify_filename() and verify_non_filename() rely on
check_filename(), which definitely said "yes, this is a
file" or "no, it is not" using lstat().

Commit 28fcc0b (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when
wildcard is used, 2015-05-02) introduced a convenience
feature: check_filename() will consider anything with
wildcard meta-characters as a possible filename, without
even checking the filesystem.

This works well for case 2. For such a wildcard, we would
previously have died and said "it is neither". Post-28fcc0b,
we assume it's a pathspec and proceed.

But it makes some instances of case 1 worse. We may have an
extended sha1 expression that contains meta-characters
(e.g., "HEAD^{/foo.*bar}"), and we now complain that it's
also a filename, due to the wildcard characters (even though
that wildcard would not match anything in the filesystem).

One solution would be to actually expand the pathname and
see if it matches anything on the filesystem. But that's
potentially expensive, and we do not have to be so rigorous
for this DWIM magic (if you want rigor, use "--").

Instead, we can just use different rules for cases 1 and 2.
When we know something is a rev, we will complain only if it
meets a much higher standard for "this is also a file";
namely that it actually exists in the filesystem. Case 2
remains the same: we use the looser "it could be a filename"
standard introduced by 28fcc0b.

We can accomplish this by pulling the wildcard logic out of
check_filename() and putting it into verify_filename(). Its
partner verify_non_filename() does not need a change, since
check_filename() goes back to implementing the "higher
standard".

Besides these two callers of check_filename(), there is one
other: git-checkout does a similar DWIM itself. It hits this
code path only after get_sha1() has returned failure, making
it case 2, which gets the special wildcard treatment.

Note that we drop the tests in t2019 in favor of a more
complete set in t6133. t2019 was not the right place for
them (it's about refname ambiguity, not dwim parsing
ambiguity), and the second test explicitly checked for the
opposite result of the case we are fixing here (which didn't
really make any sense; as shown by the test_must_fail in the
test, it would only serve to annoy people).

1cc777de6f checkout: reorder check_filename conditional
If we have a "--" flag, we should not be doing DWIM magic
based on whether arguments can be filenames. Reorder the
conditional to avoid the check_filename() call entirely in
this case. The outcome is the same, but the short-circuit
makes the dependency more clear.
