Improve the error that's emitted in cases where we find a loose object
we parse, but which isn't at the location we expect it to be.
Before this change we'd prefix the error with a not-a-OID derived from
the path at which the object was found, due to an emergent behavior in
how we'd end up with an "OID" in these codepaths.
Now we'll instead say what object we hashed, and what path it was
found at. Before this patch series e.g.:
$ git hash-object --stdin -w -t blob </dev/null
e69de29bb2
$ mv objects/e6/ objects/e7
Would emit ("[...]" used to abbreviate the OIDs):
git fsck
error: hash mismatch for ./objects/e7/9d[...] (expected e79d[...])
error: e79d[...]: object corrupt or missing: ./objects/e7/9d[...]
Now we'll instead emit:
error: e69d[...]: hash-path mismatch, found at: ./objects/e7/9d[...]
Furthermore, we'll do the right thing when the object type and its
location are bad. I.e. this case:
$ git hash-object --stdin -w -t garbage --literally </dev/null
8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
$ mv objects/83 objects/84
As noted in an earlier commits we'd simply die early in those cases,
until preceding commits fixed the hard die on invalid object type:
$ git fsck
fatal: invalid object type
Now we'll instead emit sensible error messages:
$ git fsck
error: 8315[...]: hash-path mismatch, found at: ./objects/84/15[...]
error: 8315[...]: object is of unknown type 'garbage': ./objects/84/15[...]
In both fsck.c and object-file.c we're using null_oid as a sentinel
value for checking whether we got far enough to be certain that the
issue was indeed this OID mismatch.
We need to add the "object corrupt or missing" special-case to deal
with cases where read_loose_object() will return an error before
completing check_object_signature(), e.g. if we have an error in
unpack_loose_rest() because we find garbage after the valid gzip
content:
$ git hash-object --stdin -w -t blob </dev/null
e69de29bb2
$ chmod 755 objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
$ echo garbage >>objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
$ git fsck
error: garbage at end of loose object 'e69d[...]'
error: unable to unpack contents of ./objects/e6/9d[...]
error: e69d[...]: object corrupt or missing: ./objects/e6/9d[...]
There is currently some weird messaging in the edge case when the two
are combined, i.e. because we're not explicitly passing along an error
state about this specific scenario from check_stream_oid() via
read_loose_object() we'll end up printing the null OID if an object is
of an unknown type *and* it can't be unpacked by zlib, e.g.:
$ git hash-object --stdin -w -t garbage --literally </dev/null
8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
$ chmod 755 objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
$ echo garbage >>objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
$ /usr/bin/git fsck
fatal: invalid object type
$ ~/g/git/git fsck
error: garbage at end of loose object '8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f'
error: unable to unpack contents of ./objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
error: 8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f: object corrupt or missing: ./objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
error: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000: object is of unknown type 'garbage': ./objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
[...]
I think it's OK to leave that for future improvements, which would
involve enum-ifying more error state as we've done with "enum
unpack_loose_header_result" in preceding commits. In these
increasingly more obscure cases the worst that can happen is that
we'll get slightly nonsensical or inapplicable error messages.
There's other such potential edge cases, all of which might produce
some confusing messaging, but still be handled correctly as far as
passing along errors goes. E.g. if check_object_signature() returns
and oideq(real_oid, null_oid()) is true, which could happen if it
returns -1 due to the read_istream() call having failed.

Change code I added in acf9de4c94 (mktag: use fsck instead of custom
verify_tag(), 2021-01-05) to make use of a new API function that takes
the fsck_msg_{id,type} types, instead of arbitrary strings that
we'll (hopefully) parse into those types.
At the time that the fsck_set_msg_type() API was introduced in
0282f4dced (fsck: offer a function to demote fsck errors to warnings,
2015-06-22) it was only intended to be used to parse user-supplied
data.
For things that are purely internal to the C code it makes sense to
have the compiler check these arguments, and to skip the sanity
checking of the data in fsck_set_msg_type() which is redundant to
checks we get from the compiler.

Change the fsck_error callback to also pass along the
fsck_msg_id. Before this change the only way to get the message id was
to parse it back out of the "message".
Let's pass it down explicitly for the benefit of callers that might
want to use it, as discussed in [1].
Passing the msg_type is now redundant, as you can always get it back
from the msg_id, but I'm not changing that convention. It's really
common to need the msg_type, and the report() function itself (which
calls "fsck_error") needs to call fsck_msg_type() to discover
it. Let's not needlessly re-do that work in the user callback.

Move the FSCK_{FATAL,INFO,ERROR,WARN,IGNORE} defines into a new
fsck_msg_type enum.
These defines were originally introduced in:
- ba002f3b28 (builtin-fsck: move common object checking code to
fsck.c, 2008-02-25)
- f50c440730 (fsck: disallow demoting grave fsck errors to warnings,
2015-06-22)
- efaba7cc77 (fsck: optionally ignore specific fsck issues
completely, 2015-06-22)
- f27d05b170 (fsck: allow upgrading fsck warnings to errors,
2015-06-22)
The reason these were defined in two different places is because we
use FSCK_{IGNORE,INFO,FATAL} only in fsck.c, but FSCK_{ERROR,WARN} are
used by external callbacks.
Untangling that would take some more work, since we expose the new
"enum fsck_msg_type" to both. Similar to "enum object_type" it's not
worth structuring the API in such a way that only those who need
FSCK_{ERROR,WARN} pass around a different type.

I don't know what I was thinking in structuring the code this way, but
it clearly makes no sense to have an fsck_config_internal() at all
just so it can get a fsck_options when git_config() already supports
passing along some void* data.

Convert the "mktag" command to use parse-options.h instead of its own
ad-hoc argc handling. This doesn't matter much in practice since it
doesn't support any options, but removes another special-case in our
codebase, and makes it easier to add options to it in the future.
It does marginally improve the situation for programs that want to
execute git commands in a consistent manner and e.g. always use
--end-of-options. E.g. "gitaly" does that, and has a blacklist of
built-ins that don't support --end-of-options. This is one less
special case for it and other similar programs to support.

In earlier commits mktag learned to use the fsck machinery, at which
point we needed to add fsck.extraHeaderEntry so it could be as strict
about extra headers as it's been ever since it was implemented.
But it's not nice to need to switch away from "mktag" to "hash-object"
+ manual "fsck" just because you'd like to have an extra header. So
let's support turning it off by getting "fsck.*" variables from the
config.
Pedantically speaking it's still not possible to make "mktag" behave
just like "hash-object -t tag" does, since we're unconditionally going
to check the referenced object in verify_object_in_tag(), which is our
own check, and not one that exists in fsck.c.
But the spirit of "this works like fsck" is preserved, in that if you
created such a tag with "hash-object" and did a full "fsck" on the
repository it would also error out about that invalid object, it just
wouldn't emit the same message as fsck does.

Change the validation logic in "mktag" to use fsck's fsck_tag()
instead of its own custom parser. Curiously the logic for both dates
back to the same commit[1]. Let's unify them so we're not maintaining
two sets functions to verify that a tag is OK.
The behavior of fsck_tag() and the old "mktag" code being removed here
is different in few aspects.
I think it makes sense to remove some of those checks, namely:
A. fsck only cares that the timezone matches [-+][0-9]{4}. The mktag
code disallowed values larger than 1400.
Yes there's currently no timezone with a greater offset[2], but
since we allow any number of non-offical timezones (e.g. +1234)
passing this through seems fine. Git also won't break in the
future if e.g. French Polynesia decides it needs to outdo the Line
Islands when it comes to timezone extravagance.
B. fsck allows missing author names such as "tagger <email>", mktag
wouldn't, but would allow e.g. "tagger [2 spaces] <email>" (but
not "tagger [1 space] <email>"). Now we allow all of these.
C. Like B, but "mktag" disallowed spaces in the <email> part, fsck
allows it.
In some ways fsck_tag() is stricter than "mktag" was, namely:
D. fsck disallows zero-padded dates, but mktag didn't care. So
e.g. the timestamp "0000000000 +0000" produces an error now. A
test in "t1006-cat-file.sh" relied on this, it's been changed to
use "hash-object" (without fsck) instead.
There was one check I deemed worth keeping by porting it over to
fsck_tag():
E. "mktag" did not allow any custom headers, and by extension (as an
empty commit is allowed) also forbade an extra stray trailing
newline after the headers it knew about.
Add a new check in the "ignore" category to fsck and use it. This
somewhat abuses the facility added in efaba7cc77 (fsck:
optionally ignore specific fsck issues completely, 2015-06-22).
This is somewhat of hack, but probably the least invasive change
we can make here. The fsck command will shuffle these categories
around, e.g. under --strict the "info" becomes a "warn" and "warn"
becomes "error". Existing users of fsck's (and others,
e.g. index-pack) --strict option rely on this.
So we need to put something into a category that'll be ignored by
all existing users of the API. Pretending that
fsck.extraHeaderEntry=error ("ignore" by default) was set serves
to do this for us.

The synopsys text and the usage string of subcommands that read list

git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes>
This is problematic in a number of ways:
* The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the
output from another command, not feed them from a file.
* Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read
from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not
described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys
text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency.
* We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying
git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes> > <output>
* As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>,

Since v1.7.0-rc0~34 (make "mktag" a built-in, 2010-01-22), git mktag
uses the C99-style %td format to print ptrdiff_t values. It falls
back to %d when NO_C99_FORMAT is set, on the assumption that pre-C99
systems probably are using 32-bit pointers.
But many modern systems are 64-bit and
* sometimes one wants to test the NO_C99_FORMAT fallbacks using a
modern development platform;
* some platforms (I'm looking at you, msvc) have not gotten with the
program and are still C89-only.
These ptrdiff_t values are offsets from the beginning of a buffer, so
a size_t or uintmax_t would work about as well. Use the latter so we
can take advantage of the PRIuMAX fallback in git-compat-util.h, even
on C99-challenged systems with 64-bit pointers.
