1452bd64f1 branch -v: align even when branch names are in UTF-8
Branch names are usually in ASCII so they are not the problem. The
problem most likely comes from "(no branch)" translation, which is
in UTF-8 and makes display-width calculation just wrong.  Clarify
this by renaming the field "len" in struct ref_item to "width", as
it stores the display-width and is used to compute the width of the
screen needed to show the names of all the branches, and compute the
display width using utf8_strwidth(), not byte-length with strlen().

Update document to mention the fact that we may want ref names in
UTF-8. Encodings that produce invalid UTF-8 are safe as utf8_strwidth()
falls back to strlen(). The ones that incidentally produce valid UTF-8
sequences will cause misalignment.

b81401c1de http: prompt for credentials on failed POST
All of the smart-http GET requests go through the http_get_*
functions, which will prompt for credentials and retry if we
see an HTTP 401.

POST requests, however, do not go through any central point.
Moreover, it is difficult to retry in the general case; we
cannot assume the request body fits in memory or is even
seekable, and we don't know how much of it was consumed
during the attempt.

Most of the time, this is not a big deal; for both fetching
and pushing, we make a GET request before doing any POSTs,
so typically we figure out the credentials during the first
request, then reuse them during the POST. However, some
servers may allow a client to get the list of refs from
receive-pack without authentication, and then require
authentication when the client actually tries to POST the
pack.

This is not ideal, as the client may do a non-trivial amount
of work to generate the pack (e.g., delta-compressing
objects). However, for a long time it has been the
recommended example configuration in git-http-backend(1) for
setting up a repository with anonymous fetch and
authenticated push. This setup has always been broken
without putting a username into the URL. Prior to commit
986bbc0, it did work with a username in the URL, because git
would prompt for credentials before making any requests at
all. However, post-986bbc0, it is totally broken. Since it
has been advertised in the manpage for some time, we should
make sure it works.

Unfortunately, it is not as easy as simply calling post_rpc
again when it fails, due to the input issue mentioned above.
However, we can still make this specific case work by
retrying in two specific instances:

  1. If the request is large (bigger than LARGE_PACKET_MAX),
     we will first send a probe request with a single flush
     packet. Since this request is static, we can freely
     retry it.

  2. If the request is small and we are not using gzip, then
     we have the whole thing in-core, and we can freely
     retry.

That means we will not retry in some instances, including:

  1. If we are using gzip. However, we only do so when
     calling git-upload-pack, so it does not apply to
     pushes.

  2. If we have a large request, the probe succeeds, but
     then the real POST wants authentication. This is an
     extremely unlikely configuration and not worth worrying
     about.

While it might be nice to cover those instances, doing so
would be significantly more complex for very little
real-world gain. In the long run, we will be much better off
when curl learns to internally handle authentication as a
callback, and we can cleanly handle all cases that way.

8809703072 http: factor out http error code handling
Most of our http requests go through the http_request()
interface, which does some nice post-processing on the
results. In particular, it handles prompting for missing
credentials as well as approving and rejecting valid or
invalid credentials. Unfortunately, it only handles GET
requests. Making it handle POSTs would be quite complex, so
let's pull result handling code into its own function so
that it can be reused from the POST code paths.

4c71009da6 t: test http access to "half-auth" repositories
Some sites set up http access to repositories such that
fetching is anonymous and unauthenticated, but pushing is
authenticated. While there are multiple ways to do this, the
technique advertised in the git-http-backend manpage is to
block access to locations matching "/git-receive-pack$".

Let's emulate that advice in our test setup, which makes it
clear that this advice does not actually work.

6ac2b3aeb9 t: test basic smart-http authentication
We do not currently test authentication over smart-http at
all. In theory, it should work exactly as it does for dumb
http (which we do test). It does indeed work for these
simple tests, but this patch lays the groundwork for more
complex tests in future patches.

666aae9aed t/lib-httpd: recognize */smart/* repos as smart-http
We do not currently test authentication for smart-http repos
at all. Part of the infrastructure to do this is recognizing
that auth/smart is indeed a smart-http repo.

The current apache config recognizes only "^/smart/*" as
smart-http. Let's instead treat anything with /smart/ in the
URL as smart-http. This is obviously a stupid thing to do
for a real production site, but for our test suite we know
that our repositories will not have this magic string in the
name.

Note that we will route /foo/smart/bar.git directly to
git-http-backend/bar.git; in other words, everything before
the "/smart/" is irrelevant to finding the repo on disk (but
may impact apache config, for example by triggering auth
checks).

05b577107d t/lib-httpd: only route auth/dumb to dumb repos
Our test apache config points all of auth/ directly to the
on-disk repositories via an Alias directive. This works fine
because everything authenticated is currently in auth/dumb,
which is a subset.  However, this would conflict with a
ScriptAlias for auth/smart (which will come in future
patches), so let's narrow the Alias.

e837936c7c t5550: factor out http auth setup
The t5550 script sets up a nice askpass helper for
simulating user input and checking what git prompted for.
Let's make it available to other http scripts by migrating
it to lib-httpd.

We can use this immediately in t5540 to make our tests more
robust (previously, we did not check at all that hitting the
password-protected repo actually involved a password).
Unfortunately, we end up failing the test because the
current code erroneously prompts twice (once for
git-remote-http, and then again when the former spawns
git-http-push).

More importantly, though, it will let us easily add
smart-http authentication tests in t5541 and t5551; we
currently do not test smart-http authentication at all.

As part of making it generic, let's always look for and
store auxiliary askpass files at the top-level trash
directory; this makes it compatible with t5540, which runs
some tests from sub-repositories. We can abstract away the
ugliness with a short helper function.

726800a8b3 t5550: put auth-required repo in auth/dumb
In most of our tests, we put repos to be accessed by dumb
protocols in /dumb, and repos to be accessed by smart
protocols in /smart.  In our test apache setup, the whole
/auth hierarchy requires authentication. However, we don't
bother to split it by smart and dumb here because we are not
currently testing smart-http authentication at all.

That will change in future patches, so let's be explicit
that we are interested in testing dumb access here. This
also happens to match what t5540 does for the push tests.

6a2abdc125 apply: compute patch->def_name correctly under -p0
Back when "git apply" was written, we made sure that the user can
skip more than the default number of path components (i.e. 1) by
giving "-p<n>", but the logic for doing so was built around the
notion of "we skip N slashes and stop".  This obviously does not
work well when running under -p0 where we do not want to skip any,
but still want to skip SP/HT that separates the pathnames of
preimage and postimage and want to reject absolute pathnames.

Stop using "stop_at_slash()", and instead introduce a new helper
"skip_tree_prefix()" with similar logic but works correctly even for
the -p0 case.

This is an ancient bug, but has been masked for a long time because
most of the patches are text and have other clues to tell us the
name of the preimage and the postimage.

Noticed by Colin McCabe.

003c84f6d2 specifying ranges: we did not mean to make ".." an empty set
Either end of revision range operator can be omitted to default to HEAD,
as in "origin.." (what did I do since I forked) or "..origin" (what did
they do since I forked).  But the current parser interprets ".."  as an
empty range "HEAD..HEAD", and worse yet, because ".." does exist on the
filesystem, we get this annoying output:

  $ cd Documentation/howto
  $ git log .. ;# give me recent commits that touch Documentation/ area.
  fatal: ambiguous argument '..': both revision and filename
  Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions

Surely we could say "git log ../" or even "git log -- .." to disambiguate,
but we shouldn't have to.

6183d826ba branch: introduce --set-upstream-to
The existing --set-uptream option can cause confusion, as it uses the
usual branch convention of assuming a starting point of HEAD if none
is specified, causing

    git branch --set-upstream origin/master

to create a new local branch 'origin/master' that tracks the current
branch. As --set-upstream already exists, we can't simply change its
behaviour. To work around this, introduce --set-upstream-to which
accepts a compulsory argument indicating what the new upstream branch
should be and one optinal argument indicating which branch to change,
defaulting to HEAD.

The new options allows us to type

    git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master

to set the current branch's upstream to be origin's master.

b0ff96547e Reduce translations by using same terminologies
Somewhere in help usage, we use both "message" and "msg", "command"
and "cmd", "key id" and "key-id". This patch makes all help text from
parseopt use the first form. Clearer and 3 fewer strings for
translators.
