ab27389aff diff --shortstat --dirstat: remove duplicate output
When --shortstat is used in conjunction with --dirstat=changes, git diff will
output the dirstat information twice: first as calculated by the 'lines'
algorithm, then as calculated by the 'changes' algorithm:

    $ git diff --dirstat=changes,10 --shortstat v2.2.0..v2.2.1
     23 files changed, 453 insertions(+), 54 deletions(-)
      33.5% Documentation/RelNotes/
      26.2% t/
      46.6% Documentation/RelNotes/
      16.6% t/

The same duplication happens for --shortstat together with --dirstat=files, but
not for --shortstat together with --dirstat=lines.

Limit output to only include one dirstat part, calculated as specified
by the --dirstat parameter. Also, add test for this.

4d6be03b95 diffcore-rename: avoid processing duplicate destinations
The rename code cannot handle an input where we have
duplicate destinations (i.e., more than one diff_filepair in
the queue with the same string in its pair->two->path). We
end up allocating only one slot in the rename_dst mapping.
If we fill in the diff_filepair for that slot, when we
re-queue the results, we may queue that filepair multiple
times. When the diff is finally flushed, the filepair is
processed and free()d multiple times, leading to heap
corruption.

This situation should only happen when a tree diff sees
duplicates in one of the trees (see the added test for a
detailed example). Rather than handle it, the sanest thing
is just to turn off rename detection altogether for the
diff.

817d03e105 test_ln_s_add: refresh stat info of fake symbolic links
We have a helper function test_ln_s_add that inserts a symbolic link
into the index even if the file system does not support symbolic links.
There is a small flaw in the emulation path: the added entry does not
pick up stat information of the fake symbolic link from the file system,
as a consequence, the index is not exactly the same as for the "regular"
path (where symbolic links are available). To fix this, just call
git update-index again.

This flaw was revealed by the earlier change that tightened
compare_diff_raw(), because a test case in t4008 depends on the
correctly updated index.

86ceb337ec connect.c: allow ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]/repo.git
The ssh:// syntax was added in 2386d658 (Add first cut at "git
protocol" connect logic., 2005-07-13), it accepted
ssh://user@2001:db8::1/repo.git, which is now legacy.

Over the years the parser was improved to support [] and port numbers,
but the combination of ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git did
never work.

The only only way to use a user name, a literall IPV6 address and a port
number was ssh://[user@2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git

(Thanks to Christian Taube <lists@hcf.yourweb.de> for reporting this long
standing issue)

New users would use ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git,
so change the parser to handle it correctly.

Support the old legacy URLs as well, to be backwards compatible,
and avoid regressions for users which upgrade an existing installation
to a later Git version.

b485373052 daemon: sanitize incoming virtual hostname
We use the daemon_avoid_alias function to make sure that the
pathname the user gives us is sane. However, after applying
that check, we might then interpolate the path using a
string given by the server admin, but which may contain more
untrusted data from the client. We should be sure to
sanitize this data, as well.

We cannot use daemon_avoid_alias here, as it is more strict
than we need in requiring a leading '/'. At the same time,
we can be much more strict here. We are interpreting a
hostname, which should not contain slashes or excessive runs
of dots, as those things are not allowed in DNS names.

Note that in addition to cleansing the hostname field, we
must check the "canonical hostname" (%CH) as well as the
port (%P), which we take as a raw string.  For the canonical
hostname, this comes from an actual DNS lookup on the
accessed IP, which makes it a much less likely vector for
problems. But it does not hurt to sanitize it in the same
way. Unfortunately we cannot test this case easily, as it
would involve a custom hostname lookup.

We do not need to check %IP, as it comes straight from
inet_ntop, so must have a sane form.

a933c23e66 commit: avoid race when creating orphan commits
If HEAD doesn't point at anything during the initial check, then we
should make sure that it *still* doesn't point at anything when we are
ready to update the reference. Otherwise, another process might commit
while we are working (e.g., while we are waiting for the user to edit
the commit message) and we will silently overwrite it.

This fixes a failing test in t7516.

a908a31c34 commit: add tests of commit races
Committing involves the following steps:

1. Determine the current value of HEAD (if any).
2. Create the new commit object.
3. Update HEAD.

Please note that step 2 can take arbitrarily long, because it might
involve the user editing a commit message.

If a second process sneaks in a commit during step 2, then the first
commit process should fail. This is usually done correctly, because
step 3 verifies that HEAD still points at the same commit that it
pointed to during step 1.

However, if there is a race when creating an *orphan* commit, then the
test in step 3 is skipped.

Add tests for proper handling of such races. One of the new tests
fails. It will be fixed in a moment.

bd9150b7e5 t/diff-lib: check exact object names in compare_diff_raw
The "sanitize" helper wanted to strip the similarity and
dissimilarity scores when making comparison, but it was
stripping away the object names as well.

While we do not want to require the exact object names the tests
expect to be maintained, as it would be seen as an extra burden,
this would have prevented us catching a silly bug such as showing
non 0{40} object name on the preimage side of an addition or on the
postimage side of a deletion, because all [0-9a-f]{40} strings were
considered equally OK.

51334bb094 git-p4: support excluding paths on sync
The clone subcommand has long had support for excluding
subdirectories, but sync has not. This is a nuisance,
since as soon as you do a sync, any changed files that
were initially excluded start showing up.

Move the "exclude" command-line option into the parent
class; the actual behavior was already present there so
it simply had to be exposed.

204a8ffe67 merge-file: correctly open files when in a subdir
run_setup_gently() is called before merge-file. This may result in changing
current working directory, which wasn't taken into account when opening a file
for writing.

Fix by prepending the passed prefix. Previous var is left so that error
messages keep referring to the file from the user's working directory
perspective.

e0d201b616 apply: do not touch a file beyond a symbolic link
Because Git tracks symbolic links as symbolic links, a path that
has a symbolic link in its leading part (e.g. path/to/dir/file,
where path/to/dir is a symbolic link to somewhere else, be it
inside or outside the working tree) can never appear in a patch
that validly applies, unless the same patch first removes the
symbolic link to allow a directory to be created there.

Detect and reject such a patch.

Things to note:

 - Unfortunately, we cannot reuse the has_symlink_leading_path()
   from dir.c, as that is only about the working tree, but "git
   apply" can be told to apply the patch only to the index or to
   both the index and to the working tree.

 - We cannot directly use has_symlink_leading_path() even when we
   are applying only to the working tree, as an early patch of a
   valid input may remove a symbolic link path/to/dir and then a
   later patch of the input may create a path path/to/dir/file, but
   "git apply" first checks the input without touching either the
   index or the working tree.  The leading symbolic link check must
   be done on the interim result we compute in-core (i.e. after the
   first patch, there is no path/to/dir symbolic link and it is
   perfectly valid to create path/to/dir/file).

   Similarly, when an input creates a symbolic link path/to/dir and
   then creates a file path/to/dir/file, we need to flag it as an
   error without actually creating path/to/dir symbolic link in the
   filesystem.

Instead, for any patch in the input that leaves a path (i.e. a non
deletion) in the result, we check all leading paths against the
resulting tree that the patch would create by inspecting all the
patches in the input and then the target of patch application
(either the index or the working tree).

This way, we catch a mischief or a mistake to add a symbolic link
path/to/dir and a file path/to/dir/file at the same time, while
allowing a valid patch that removes a symbolic link path/to/dir and
then adds a file path/to/dir/file.
