When a remote server uses git-shell, the client side will
connect to it like:
ssh server "git-upload-pack 'foo.git'"
and we literally exec ("git-upload-pack", "foo.git"). In
early versions of upload-pack and receive-pack, we took a
repository argument and nothing else. But over time they
learned to accept dashed options. If the user passes a
repository name that starts with a dash, the results are
confusing at best (we complain of a bogus option instead of
a non-existent repository) and malicious at worst (the user
can start an interactive pager via "--help").
We could pass "--" to the sub-process to make sure the
user's argument is interpreted as a branch name. I.e.:
git-upload-pack -- -foo.git
But adding "--" automatically would make us inconsistent
with a normal shell (i.e., when git-shell is not in use),
where "-foo.git" would still be an error. For that case, the
client would have to specify the "--", but they can't do so
reliably, as existing versions of git-shell do not allow
more than a single argument.
The simplest thing is to simply disallow "-" at the start of
the repo name argument. This hasn't worked either with or
without git-shell since version 1.0.0, and nobody has
complained.
Note that this patch just applies to do_generic_cmd(), which
runs upload-pack, receive-pack, and upload-archive. There
are two other types of commands that git-shell runs:
- do_cvs_cmd(), but this already restricts the argument to
be the literal string "server"
- admin-provided commands in the git-shell-commands
directory. We'll pass along arbitrary arguments there,
so these commands could have similar problems. But these
commands might actually understand dashed arguments, so
we cannot just block them here. It's up to the writer of
the commands to make sure they are safe. With great
power comes great responsibility.

Set the NO_REGEX=NeedsStartEnd Makefile flag by default on AIX.
Since commit 2f8952250a ("regex: add regexec_buf() that can work on a
non NUL-terminated string", 2016-09-21) git has errored out at
compile-time if the regular expression library doesn't support
REG_STARTEND.
While looking through Google search results for the use of NO_REGEX I
found a Chef recipe that set this on AIX[1], looking through the
documentation for the latest version of AIX (7.2, released October
2015) shows that its regexec() doesn't have REG_STARTEND.

Commit cf9e55f494 ("submodule: prevent backslash expantion in submodule
names", 07-04-2017) added a test which creates a git repository with
some backslash characters in the name. On windows, where the backslash
character is a directory separator, it is not possible to create a
repository with the name 'sub\with\backslash'. (The NTFS filesystem would
probably allow it, but the win32 api does not). The MinGW and Git for
Windows versions of git actually create a repository called 'backslash'
in the sub-directory 'sub/with'.
On cygwin, however, due to the slightly schizophrenic treatment of the
backslash character by cygwin-git, this test fails at the 'git init'
stage. The git-init command does not recognise the directory separators
in the input path (eg. is_dir_sep('\\') is false), so it does not
attempt to create the leading directories 'sub/with'. (The call to
mkdir('sub\\with\\backslash') actually does recognise the directory
separators, but fails because the 'sub/with' directory doesn't exist).
In order to suppress the test failure (for now), add the !CYGWIN test
prerequisite.

The local ident_split variable is often mentioned three

After we call split_ident_line(), we have several begin/end
pairs for various parts of the ident. We then copy each into
a strbuf to create a single string, and then detach that
string. We can instead skip the strbuf entirely and just
duplicate the strings directly.
This is shorter, and it makes it more obvious that we are
not leaking the strbuf (we were not before, because every
code path either died or hit a strbuf_detach).

In the scripted version of the interactive rebase, there was no internal
representation of the todo list; it was re-read before every command.
That allowed the hack that an `exec` command could append (or even
completely rewrite) the todo list.
This hack was broken by the partial conversion of the interactive rebase
to C, and this patch reinstates it.
We also add a small test to verify that this fix does not regress in the
future.

When encountering a commit message that does not end in a newline,
sequencer does not complete the line before determining if a blank line
should be added. This causes the "(cherry picked..." and sign-off lines
to sometimes appear on the same line as the last line of the commit
message.
This behavior was introduced by commit 967dfd4 ("sequencer: use
trailer's trailer layout", 2016-11-29). However, a revert of that commit
would not resolve this issue completely: prior to that commit, a
conforming footer was deemed to be non-conforming by
has_conforming_footer() if there was no terminating newline, resulting
in both conforming and non-conforming footers being treated the same
when they should not be.
Resolve this issue, both for conforming and non-conforming footers, and
in both do_pick_commit() and append_signoff(), by always adding a
newline to the commit message if it does not end in one before checking
the footer for conformity.

The previous step added a path zzzzzzzz to the index, and then used
"sed" to replace this string to yyyyyyyy to create a test case where
the checksum at the end of the file does not match the contents.
Unfortunately, use of "sed" on a non-text file is not portable.
Instead, use a Perl script that seeks to the end and modifies the
last byte of the file (where we _know_ stores the trailing
checksum).
