Short of somebody happening to beat the 1 in 2^160 odds of

should never see this value in a tree entry. So let's have

We should never need to write the null sha1 into an index
entry (short of the 1 in 2^160 chance that somebody actually
has content that hashes to it). If we attempt to do so, it
is much more likely that it is a bug, since we use the null
sha1 as a sentinel value to mean "not valid".
The presence of null sha1s in the index (which can come
from, among other things, "update-index --cacheinfo", or by
reading a corrupted tree) can cause problems for later
readers, because they cannot distinguish the literal null
sha1 from its use a sentinel value. For example, "git
diff-files" on such an entry would make it appear as if it
is stat-dirty, and until recently, the diff code assumed
such an entry meant that we should be diffing a working tree
file rather than a blob.
Ideally, we would stop such entries from entering even our
in-core index. However, we do sometimes legitimately add
entries with null sha1s in order to represent these sentinel
situations; simply forbidding them in add_index_entry breaks
a lot of the existing code. However, we can at least make
sure that our in-core sentinel representation never makes it
to disk.
To be thorough, we will test an attempt to add both a blob
and a submodule entry. In the former case, we might run into
problems anyway because we will be missing the blob object.
But in the latter case, we do not enforce connectivity
across gitlink entries, making this our only point of
enforcement. The current implementation does not care which
type of entry we are seeing, but testing both cases helps
future-proof the test suite in case that changes.

The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec
struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the
content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which
indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If
sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a
working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when
the index is not up-to-date).
The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the
interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1
directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at
that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is
valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel
value to indicate that it is not.
We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any
other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree).
However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would
cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree
version of a file instead of treating it as a blob.
This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept
a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use
that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this
means passing the flag through several layers, making the
code change larger than would be desirable.
One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing
corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more
directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree
are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel
confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what
makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable
of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For
example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out
when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a
"--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other
corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

When we are leaving a detached HEAD, we do a revision traversal to
check whether we are orphaning any commits, marking the commit we're
leaving as the start of the traversal, and all existing refs as
uninteresting.
Prior to commit 468224e5, we did so by calling for_each_ref, and
feeding each resulting refname to setup_revisions. Commit 468224e5
refactored this to simply mark the pending objects, saving an extra
lookup.
However, it confused the "flags" parameter to the each_ref_fn
clalback, which is about the flags we found while looking up the ref
with the object flag. Because REF_ISSYMREF ("this ref is a symbolic
ref, e.g. refs/remotes/origin/HEAD") happens to be the same bit
pattern as SEEN ("we have picked this object up from the pending
list and moved it to revs.commits list"), we incorrectly reported
that a commit previously at the detached HEAD will become
unreachable if the only ref that can reach the commit happens to be
pointed at by a symbolic ref.

The identity of the committer will ultimately be pulled from
the ident code by commit_tree(). However, we make an attempt
to check the author and committer identity early, before the
user has done any manual work like inputting a commit
message. That lets us abort without them having to worry
about salvaging the work from .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG.
The early check for committer ident does not use the
IDENT_STRICT flag, meaning that it would not find an empty
name field. The motivation was presumably because we did not
want to be too restrictive, as later calls might be more lax
(for example, when we create the reflog entry, we do not
care too much about a real name). However, because
commit_tree will always get a strict identity to put in the
commit object itself, there is no point in being lax only to
die later (and in fact it is harmful, because the user will
have wasted time typing their commit message).
Incidentally, this bug was masked prior to 060d4bb, as the
initial loose call would taint the later strict call. So the
commit would succeed (albeit with a bogus committer line in
the commit object), and nobody noticed that our early check
did not match the later one.

block-sha1/ is fast on most known platforms. Clarify the Makefile to
be less misleading about that.
Early versions of block-sha1/ explicitly relied on fast htonl() and
fast 32-bit loads with arbitrary alignment. Now it uses those on some
arches but the default behavior is byte-at-a-time access for the sake
of arches like ARM, Alpha, and their kin and it is still pretty fast
on these arches (fast enough to supersede the mozilla SHA1

With 660231aa (block-sha1: support for architectures with memory
alignment restrictions, 2009-08-12), blk_SHA1_Update was modified to
access 32-bit chunks of memory one byte at a time on arches that
prefer that:
#define get_be32(p) ( \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 0) << 24) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 1) << 16) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 2) << 8) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 3) << 0) )
The code previously accessed these values by just using htonl(*p).
Unfortunately, Michael noticed on an Alpha machine that git was using
plain 32-bit reads anyway. As soon as we convert a pointer to int *,
the compiler can assume that the object pointed to is correctly
aligned as an int (C99 section 6.3.2.3 "pointer conversions"
paragraph 7), and gcc takes full advantage by using a single 32-bit
load, resulting in a whole bunch of unaligned access traps.
So we need to obey the alignment constraints even when only dealing
with pointers instead of actual values. Do so by changing the type
of 'data' to void *. This patch renames 'data' to 'block' at the same
time to make sure all references are updated to reflect the new type.

There are three ways to specify an external diff command:
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF in the environment, diff.external in the
config, or a "diff" gitattribute. The current order of
precedence is:
1. gitattribute
2. GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF
3. diff.external
Usually our rule is that environment variables should take
precedence over on-disk config (i.e., option 2 should come
before option 1). However, this situation is trickier than
some, because option 1 is more specific to the individual
file than option 2 (which affects all files), so it might be
preferable. So the current behavior can be seen as
implementing "do the specific thing if we can, but fall back
to this general thing".
This is probably not what we would do if we were writing git
from scratch, but it has been this way for several years,
and is not worth changing. So let's at least document that
this is the way it's supposed to work with a test.
While we're there, let's also make sure that diff.external
(which was not previously tested at all) works by running it

Upon seeing a type-change filepair, "diff --no-ext-diff" does not
show the usual "deletion followed by addition" split patch and does
not run the external diff driver either.
This is because the logic to disable external diff was placed at a
wrong level in the callchain. run_diff_cmd() decides to show the
split patch only when external diff driver is not configured or
specified via GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment, but this is done before
checking if --no-ext-diff was given. To make things worse,
run_diff_cmd() checks --no-ext-diff and disables the output for such
a filepair completely, as the callchain below it (e.g. builtin_diff)
does not want to handle typechange filepairs.

cloning a submodule recursively fails for nested submodules when a

This happens when module_clone() tries to find the relative paths between
the work tree and the git dir. When a symbolic link in current $PWD points
to a directory that is at a different level, then determining the number
of "../" needed to traverse to the superproject's work tree leads to a
wrong result.
As there is no portable way to say "pwd -P", use cd_to_toplevel to remove
the link from $PWD, which fixes this problem.
