cd85b447bf remote-curl: make --force-with-lease work with non-ASCII ref names
When we invoke a remote transport helper and pass an option with an
argument, we quote the argument as a C-style string if necessary.  This
is the case for the cas option, which implements the --force-with-lease
command-line flag, when we're passing a non-ASCII refname.

However, the remote curl helper isn't designed to parse such an
argument, meaning that if we try to use --force-with-lease with an HTTP
push and a non-ASCII refname, we get an error like this:

  error: cannot parse expected object name '0000000000000000000000000000000000000000"'

Note the double quote, which get_oid has reminded us is not valid in an
hex object ID.

Even if we had been able to parse it, we would send the wrong data to
the server: we'd send an escaped ref, which would not behave as the user
wanted and might accidentally result in updating or deleting a ref we
hadn't intended.

Since we need to expect a quoted C-style string here, just check if the
first argument is a double quote, and if so, unquote it.  Note that if
the refname contains a double quote, then we will have double-quoted it
already, so there is no ambiguity.

We test for this case only in the smart protocol, since the DAV-based
protocol is not capable of handling this capability.  We use UTF-8
because this is nicer in our tests and friendlier to Windows, but the
code should work for all non-ASCII refs.

While we're at it, since the name of the option is now well established
and isn't going to change, let's inline it instead of using the #define
constant.

d223e85407 t3200: don't grep for strerror() string
In 6b7093064a ("t3200: test for specific errors", 2020-06-15), we
learned to grep stderr to ensure that the failing `git branch`
invocations fail for the right reason. In two of these tests, we grep
for "File exists", expecting the string to show up there since config.c
calls `error_errno()`, which ends up including `strerror(errno)` in the
error message.

But as we saw in 4605a73073 ("t1091: don't grep for `strerror()`
string", 2020-03-08), there exists at least one implementation where
`strerror()` yields a slightly different string than the one we're
grepping for. In particular, these tests fail on the NonStop platform.

Similar to 4605a73073, grep for the beginning of the string instead to
avoid relying on `strerror()` behavior.

77aa0941ce upload-pack: do not lazy-fetch "have" objects
When upload-pack receives a request containing "have" hashes, it (among
other things) checks if the served repository has the corresponding
objects. However, it does not do so with the
OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT flag, so if serving a partial clone, a
lazy fetch will be triggered first.

This was discovered at $DAYJOB when a user fetched from a partial clone
(into another partial clone - although this would also happen if the
repo to be fetched into is not a partial clone).

Therefore, whenever "have" hashes are checked for existence, pass the
OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT flag. Also add the OBJECT_INFO_QUICK flag
to improve performance, as it is typical that such objects do not exist
in the serving repo, and the consequences of a false negative are minor
(usually, a slightly larger pack sent).

b6839fda68 ref-filter: add support for %(contents:size)
It's useful and efficient to be able to get the size of the
contents directly without having to pipe through `wc -c`.

Also the result of the following:

`git for-each-ref --format='%(contents)' refs/heads/my-branch | wc -c`

is off by one as `git for-each-ref` appends a newline character
after the contents, which can be seen by comparing its output
with the output from `git cat-file`.

As with %(contents), %(contents:size) is silently ignored, if a
ref points to something other than a commit or a tag:

```
$ git update-ref refs/mytrees/first HEAD^{tree}
$ git for-each-ref --format='%(contents)' refs/mytrees/first

$ git for-each-ref --format='%(contents:size)' refs/mytrees/first

a98f7fb366 read-cache: remove bogus shortcut
has_dir_name() has some optimizations for the case where entries are
added to an index in the correct order.  They kick in if the new entry
sorts after the last one.  One of them exits early if the last entry has
a longer name than the directory of the new entry.  Here's its comment:

/*
 * The directory prefix lines up with part of
 * a longer file or directory name, but sorts
 * after it, so this sub-directory cannot
 * collide with a file.
 *
 * last: xxx/yy-file (because '-' sorts before '/')
 * this: xxx/yy/abc
 */

However, a file named xxx/yy would be sorted before xxx/yy-file because
'-' sorts after NUL, so the length check against the last entry is not
sufficient to rule out a collision.  Remove it.

ec91ffca04 verify_repository_format(): complain about new extensions in v0 repo
We made the mistake in the past of respecting extensions.* even when the
repository format version was set to 0. This is bad because forgetting
to bump the repository version means that older versions of Git (which
do not know about our extensions) won't complain. I.e., it's not a
problem in itself, but it means your repository is in a state which does
not give you the protection you think you're getting from older
versions.

For compatibility reasons, we are stuck with that decision for existing
extensions. However, we'd prefer not to extend the damage further. We
can do that by catching any newly-added extensions and complaining about
the repository format.

Note that this is a pretty heavy hammer: we'll refuse to work with the
repository at all. A lesser option would be to ignore (possibly with a
warning) any new extensions. But because of the way the extensions are
handled, that puts the burden on each new extension that is added to
remember to "undo" itself (because they are handled before we know
for sure whether we are in a v1 repo or not, since we don't insist on a
particular ordering of config entries).

So one option would be to rewrite that handling to record any new
extensions (and their values) during the config parse, and then only
after proceed to handle new ones only if we're in a v1 repository. But
I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble:

  - ignoring extensions is likely to end up with broken results anyway
    (e.g., ignoring a proposed objectformat extension means parsing any
    object data is likely to encounter errors)

  - this is a sign that whatever tool wrote the extension field is
    broken. We may be better off notifying immediately and forcefully so
    that such tools don't even appear to work accidentally.

The only downside is that fixing the situation is a little tricky,
because programs like "git config" won't want to work with the
repository. But:

  git config --file=.git/config core.repositoryformatversion 1

should still suffice.

62f2eca606 repository: allow repository format upgrade with extensions
Now that we officially permit repository extensions in repository
format v0, permit upgrading a repository with extensions from v0 to v1
as well.

For example, this means a repository where the user has set
"extensions.preciousObjects" can use "git fetch --filter=blob:none
origin" to upgrade the repository to use v1 and the partial clone
extension.

To avoid mistakes, continue to forbid repository format upgrades in v0
repositories with an unrecognized extension.  This way, a v0 user
using a misspelled extension field gets a chance to correct the
mistake before updating to the less forgiving v1 format.

While we're here, make the error message for failure to upgrade the
repository format a bit shorter, and present it as an error, not a
warning.

11664196ac Revert "check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old repositories"
This reverts commit 14c7fa269e.

The core.repositoryFormatVersion field was introduced in ab9cb76f66
(Repository format version check., 2005-11-25), providing a welcome
bit of forward compatibility, thanks to some welcome analysis by
Martin Atukunda.  The semantics are simple: a repository with
core.repositoryFormatVersion set to 0 should be comprehensible by all
Git implementations in active use; and Git implementations should
error out early instead of trying to act on Git repositories with
higher core.repositoryFormatVersion values representing new formats
that they do not understand.

A new repository format did not need to be defined until 00a09d57eb
(introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversion,
2015-06-23).  This provided a finer-grained extension mechanism for
Git repositories.  In a repository with core.repositoryFormatVersion
set to 1, Git implementations can act on "extensions.*" settings that
modify how a repository is interpreted.  In repository format version
1, unrecognized extensions settings cause Git to error out.

What happens if a user sets an extension setting but forgets to
increase the repository format version to 1?  The extension settings
were still recognized in that case; worse, unrecognized extensions
settings do *not* cause Git to error out.  So combining repository
format version 0 with extensions settings produces in some sense the
worst of both worlds.

To improve that situation, since 14c7fa269e
(check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old
repositories, 2020-06-05) Git instead ignores extensions in v0 mode.
This way, v0 repositories get the historical (pre-2015) behavior and
maintain compatibility with Git implementations that do not know about
the v1 format.  Unfortunately, users had been using this sort of
configuration and this behavior change came to many as a surprise:

- users of "git config --worktree" that had followed its advice
  to enable extensions.worktreeConfig (without also increasing the
  repository format version) would find their worktree configuration
  no longer taking effect

- tools such as copybara[*] that had set extensions.partialClone in
  existing repositories (without also increasing the repository format
  version) would find that setting no longer taking effect

The behavior introduced in 14c7fa269e might be a good behavior if we
were traveling back in time to 2015, but we're far too late.  For some
reason I thought that it was what had been originally implemented and
that it had regressed.  Apologies for not doing my research when
14c7fa269e was under development.

Let's return to the behavior we've had since 2015: always act on
extensions.* settings, regardless of repository format version.  While
we're here, include some tests to describe the effect on the "upgrade
repository version" code path.
