55d2d812e4 Documentation: implement linkgit macro for Asciidoctor
AsciiDoc uses a configuration file to implement macros like linkgit,
while Asciidoctor uses Ruby extensions.  Implement a Ruby extension that
implements the linkgit macro for Asciidoctor in the same way that
asciidoc.conf does for AsciiDoc.  Adjust the Makefile to use it by
default.

d549d21307 t0001: don't let a default ACL interfere with the umask test
The "init creates a new deep directory (umask vs. shared)" test expects
the permissions of newly created files to be based on the umask, which
fails if a default ACL is inherited from the working tree for git.  So
attempt to remove a default ACL if there is one.  Same idea as
8ed0a740dd.  (I guess I'm the only one who
ever runs the test suite with a default ACL set.)

c3c2b05776 git-p4: fix git-p4.mapUser on Windows
When running git-p4 on Windows, with multiple git-p4.mapUser entries in
git config - no user mappings are applied to the generated repository.

Reproduction Steps:

1. Add multiple git-p4.mapUser entries to git config on a Windows
   machine
2. Attempt to clone a p4 repository

None of the user mappings will be applied.

This issue is actually caused by gitConfigList, using split(os.linesep)
to convert the output of git config --get-all into a list. On Windows,
os.linesep is equal to '\r\n' - however git.exe returns configuration
with a line seperator of '\n'.

This leads to the list returned by gitConfigList containing only one
element - which contains the full output of git config --get-all in
string form, which causes problems for the code introduced to
getUserMapFromPerforceServer in 10d08a149d ("git-p4: map a P4 user to
Git author name and email address", 2016-03-01)

This issue should be caught by the test introduced in 10d08a1, however
would require running on Windows to reproduce.

Using splitlines solves this issue, by splitting config on all
typical delimiters ('\n', '\r\n' etc.)

c755015f79 help: improve is_executable() on Windows
On Windows, executables need to have the file extension `.exe`, or they
are not executables. Hence, to support scripts, Git for Windows also
looks for a she-bang line by opening the file in question, and executing
it via the specified script interpreter.

To figure out whether files in the `PATH` are executable, `git help` has
code that imitates this behavior. With one exception: it *always* opens
the files and looks for a she-bang line *or* an `MZ` tell-tale
(nevermind that files with the magic `MZ` but without file extension
`.exe` would still not be executable).

Opening this many files leads to performance problems that are even more
serious when a virus scanner is running. Therefore, let's change the
code to look for the file extension `.exe` early, and avoid opening the
file altogether if we already know that it is executable.

See the following measurements (in seconds) as an example, where we
execute a simple program that simply lists the directory contents and
calls open() on every listed file:

With virus scanner running (coldcache):

$ ./a.exe /libexec/git-core/
before open (git-add.exe): 0.000000
after open (git-add.exe): 0.412873
before open (git-annotate.exe): 0.000175

before open (git-blame.exe): 0.000160
after open (git-blame.exe): 0.399136
...

With virus scanner running (hotcache):

$ ./a.exe /libexec/git-core/
before open (git-add.exe): 0.000000
after open (git-add.exe): 0.000325

before open (git-blame.exe): 0.000718
after open (git-blame.exe): 0.000724

With this patch I get:

$ time git help git

eafd5d9483 doc: clarify distinction between sign-off and pgp-signing
The documentation for submission discourages pgp-signing, but demands
a proper sign-off by contributors. However, when skimming the headings,
the wording of the section for sign-off could mistakenly be understood
as concerning pgp-signing. Thus, new contributors could oversee the
necessary sign-off.

This commit improves the wording such that the section about sign-off
cannot be misunderstood as pgp-signing. In addition, the paragraph about
pgp-signing is changed such that it avoids the impression that
pgp-signing could be relevant at later stages of the submission.

d98b2c5fce test-lib: on FreeBSD, look for unzip(1) in /usr/local/bin/
Eric Wong reported that while FreeBSD has a /usr/bin/unzip, it uses
different semantics from those that are needed by Git's tests: When
passing the -a option to Info-Zip, it heeds the text attribute of the
.zip file's central directory, while FreeBSD's unzip ignores that
attribute.

The common work-around is to install Info-Zip on FreeBSD, into
/usr/local/bin/.

a2b22854bd fsck: lazily load types under --connectivity-only
The recent fixes to "fsck --connectivity-only" load all of
the objects with their correct types. This keeps the
connectivity-only code path close to the regular one, but it
also introduces some unnecessary inefficiency. While getting
the type of an object is cheap compared to actually opening
and parsing the object (as the non-connectivity-only case
would do), it's still not free.

For reachable non-blob objects, we end up having to parse
them later anyway (to see what they point to), making our
type lookup here redundant.

For unreachable objects, we might never hit them at all in
the reachability traversal, making the lookup completely
wasted. And in some cases, we might have quite a few
unreachable objects (e.g., when alternates are used for
shared object storage between repositories, it's normal for
there to be objects reachable from other repositories but
not the one running fsck).

The comment in mark_object_for_connectivity() claims two
benefits to getting the type up front:

  1. We need to know the types during fsck_walk(). (And not
     explicitly mentioned, but we also need them when
     printing the types of broken or dangling commits).

     We can address this by lazy-loading the types as
     necessary. Most objects never need this lazy-load at
     all, because they fall into one of these categories:

       a. Reachable from our tips, and are coerced into the
	  correct type as we traverse (e.g., a parent link
	  will call lookup_commit(), which converts OBJ_NONE
	  to OBJ_COMMIT).

       b. Unreachable, but not at the tip of a chunk of
          unreachable history. We only mention the tips as
	  "dangling", so an unreachable commit which links
	  to hundreds of other objects needs only report the
	  type of the tip commit.

  2. It serves as a cross-check that the coercion in (1a) is
     correct (i.e., we'll complain about a parent link that
     points to a blob). But we get most of this for free
     already, because right after coercing, we'll parse any
     non-blob objects. So we'd notice then if we expected a
     commit and got a blob.

     The one exception is when we expect a blob, in which
     case we never actually read the object contents.

     So this is a slight weakening, but given that the whole
     point of --connectivity-only is to sacrifice some data
     integrity checks for speed, this seems like an
     acceptable tradeoff.

Here are before and after timings for an extreme case with
~5M reachable objects and another ~12M unreachable (it's the
torvalds/linux repository on GitHub, connected to shared
storage for all of the other kernel forks):

  [before]
  $ time git fsck --no-dangling --connectivity-only
  real	3m4.323s
  user	1m25.121s
  sys	1m38.710s

  [after]
  $ time git fsck --no-dangling --connectivity-only
  real	0m51.497s
  user	0m49.575s
  sys	0m1.776s

97ca7ca8ba fsck: move typename() printing to its own function
When an object has a problem, we mention its type. But we do
so by feeding the result of typename() directly to
fprintf(). This is potentially dangerous because typename()
can return NULL for some type values (like OBJ_NONE).

It's doubtful that this can be triggered in practice with
the current code, so this is probably not fixing a bug. But
it future-proofs us against modifications that make things
like OBJ_NONE more likely (and gives future patches a
central point to handle them).

c20d4d702f t1450: use "mv -f" within loose object directory
The loose objects are created with mode 0444. That doesn't
prevent them being overwritten by rename(), but some
versions of "mv" will be extra careful and prompt the user,
even without "-i".

Reportedly macOS does this, at least in the Travis builds.
The prompt reads from /dev/null, defaulting to "no", and the
object isn't moved. Then to make matters even more
interesting, it still returns "0" and the rest of the test
proceeds, but with a broken setup.

We can work around it by using "mv -f" to override the
prompt. This should work as it's already used in t5504 for
the same purpose.

string_list_sort() from multiple parallel threads.

Our qsort_s() in compat/ is slightly slower than qsort(1) from glibc
2.24 for sorting lots of lines:

Test                         HEAD^             HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------
0071.2: sort(1)              0.10(0.22+0.01)   0.09(0.21+0.00) -10.0%
0071.3: string_list_sort()   0.16(0.15+0.01)   0.17(0.15+0.00) +6.3%

GNU sort(1) version 8.26 is significantly faster because it uses
multiple parallel threads; with the unportable option --parallel=1 it
becomes slower:

Test                         HEAD^             HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------
0071.2: sort(1)              0.21(0.18+0.01)   0.20(0.18+0.01) -4.8%
0071.3: string_list_sort()   0.16(0.13+0.02)   0.17(0.15+0.01) +6.3%

There is some instability -- the numbers for the sort(1) check shouldn't
be affected by this patch.  Anyway, the performance of our qsort_s()
implementation is apparently good enough, at least for this test.

3ca8699409 add QSORT_S
Add the macro QSORT_S, a convenient wrapper for qsort_s() that infers
the size of the array elements and dies on error.

Basically all possible errors are programming mistakes (passing NULL as
base of a non-empty array, passing NULL as comparison function,
out-of-bounds accesses), so terminating the program should be acceptable
for most callers.

04ee8b875b compat: add qsort_s()
The function qsort_s() was introduced with C11 Annex K; it provides the
ability to pass a context pointer to the comparison function, supports
the convention of using a NULL pointer for an empty array and performs a
few safety checks.

Add an implementation based on compat/qsort.c for platforms that lack a
native standards-compliant qsort_s() (i.e. basically everyone).  It
doesn't perform the full range of possible checks: It uses size_t
instead of rsize_t and doesn't check nmemb and size against RSIZE_MAX
because we probably don't have the restricted size type defined.  For
the same reason it returns int instead of errno_t.

ec3366eb52 Makefile: add a knob to enable the use of Asciidoctor
While Git has traditionally built its documentation using AsciiDoc, some
people wish to use Asciidoctor for speed or other reasons.  Add a
Makefile knob, USE_ASCIIDOCTOR, that sets various options in order to
produce acceptable output.  For HTML output, XHTML5 was chosen, since
the AsciiDoc options also produce XHTML, albeit XHTML 1.1.

Asciidoctor does not have built-in support for the linkgit macro, but it
is available using the Asciidoctor Extensions Lab.  Add a macro to
enable the use of this extension if it is available.  Without it, the
linkgit macros are emitted into the output.

95e5efc6dc Documentation: add XSLT to fix DocBook for Texinfo
There are two ways to create a section in a reference document (i.e.,
manpage) in DocBook 4: refsection elements and refsect, refsect2, and
refsect3 elements.  Either form is acceptable as of DocBook 4.2, but
they cannot be mixed.  Prior to DocBook 4.2, only the numbered forms
were acceptable.

docbook2texi only accepts the numbered forms, and this has not generally
been a problem, since AsciiDoc produces the numbered forms.
Asciidoctor, on the other hand, uses a shared backend for DocBook 4 and
5, and uses the unnumbered refsection elements instead.

If we don't convert the unnumbered form to the numbered form,
docbook2texi omits section headings, which is undesirable.  Add an XSLT
stylesheet to transform the unnumbered forms to the numbered forms
automatically, and preprocess the DocBook XML as part of the
transformation to Texinfo format.

Note that this transformation is only necessary for Texinfo, since
docbook2texi provides its own stylesheets.  The DocBook stylesheets,
which we use for other formats, provide the full range of DocBook 4 and
5 compatibility, and don't have this issue.

a7e1b15c54 Documentation: remove unneeded argument in cat-texi.perl
The newly-added use of the warnings pragma exposes that the $menu[0]
argument to printf has long been silently ignored, since there is no
format specifier for it.  It doesn't appear that the argument is
actually needed, either: there is no reason to insert the name of one
particular documentation page anywhere in the header that's being
generated.

Remove the unused argument, and since the format specification
functionality is no longer needed, convert the printf to a simple print.

b56867c986 Documentation: modernize cat-texi.perl
Good style for Perl includes using the strict and warnings pragmas, and
preferring lexical file handles over bareword file handles.  Using
lexical file handles necessitates being explicit when $_ is printed, so
that Perl does not get confused and instead print the glob ref.

The benefit of this modernization is that a formerly obscured bug is now
visible, which will be fixed in a followup patch.
