It can happen quite easily that the last setting in a config section is
removed, and to avoid confusion when there are comments in the config
about that section, we keep a lone section header, i.e. an empty
section.
Now that we use the `event_fn` callback, it is easy to add support for
re-using empty sections, so let's do that.
Note: t5512-ls-remote requires that this change is applied *after* the
patch "git config --unset: remove empty sections (in the common case)":
without that patch, there would be empty `transfer` and `uploadpack`
sections ready for reuse, but in the *wrong* order (and sconsequently,
t5512's "overrides work between mixed transfer/upload-pack hideRefs"
would fail).

The original reasoning for not removing section headers upon removal of
the last entry went like this: the user could have added comments about
the section, or about the entries therein, and if there were other
comments there, we would not know whether we should remove them.
In particular, a concocted example was presented that looked like this
(and was added to t1300):
# some generic comment on the configuration file itself
# a comment specific to this "section" section.
[section]
# some intervening lines
# that should also be dropped
key = value
# please be careful when you update the above variable
The ideal thing for `git config --unset section.key` in this case would
be to leave only the first line behind, because all the other comments
are now obsolete.
However, this is unfeasible, short of adding a complete Natural Language
Processing module to Git, which seems not only a lot of work, but a
totally unreasonable feature (for little benefit to most users).
Now, the real kicker about this problem is: most users do not edit their
config files at all! In their use case, the config looks like this
instead:
[section]
key = value
... and it is totally obvious what should happen if the entry is
removed: the entire section should vanish.
Let's generalize this observation to this conservative strategy: if we
are removing the last entry from a section, and there are no comments
inside that section nor surrounding it, then remove the entire section.
Otherwise behave as before: leave the now-empty section (including those
comments, even ones about the now-deleted entry).
We have to be extra careful to handle the case where more than one entry
is removed: any subset of them might be the last entries of their
respective sections (and if there are no comments in or around that
section, the section should be removed, too).

We already have a test demonstrating that removing the last entry from a

When 'test_i18ngrep' can't find the expected pattern, it exits
completely silently; when its negated form does find the pattern that
shouldn't be there, it prints the matching line(s) but otherwise exits
without any error message. This leaves the developer puzzled about
what could have gone wrong.
Make 'test_i18ngrep' more informative on failure by printing an error
message including the invoked 'grep' command and the contents of the
file it had to scan through.
Note that this "dump the scanned file" part is not quite perfect, as
it dumps only the file specified as the function's last positional
parameter, thus assuming that there is only a single file parameter.
I think that's a reasonable assumption to make, one that holds true in
the current code base. And even if someone were to scan multiple
files at once in the future, the worst thing that could happen is that
the verbose error message won't include the contents of all those
files, only the last one. Alas, we can't really do any better than
this, because checking whether the other positional parameters match a
filename can result in false positives: 't3400-rebase.sh' and
't3404-rebase-interactive.sh' contain one test each, where the
'test_i18ngrep's pattern verbatimly matches a file in the trash
directory.

Some of the previous patches in this series fixed bogus
'test_i18ngrep' invocations:
- Two invocations where the tested git command's standard output is
directly piped into 'test_i18ngrep'. While convenient, this is an
antipattern, because the pipe hides the git command's exit code,
and the test could continue even if the command exited with error.
- Two invocations that had neither a filename parameter nor anything
piped into their standard input, yet both managed to remain
unnoticed for years. A third similarly bogus invocation is
currently lurking in 'pu' for a couple of weeks now.
Prevent similar mistakes in the future by validating 'test_i18ngrep's
parameters requiring that
- The last parameter names an existing file to be read, effectively
forbidding piping into 'test_i18ngrep'.
Note that this change will also forbid cases where 'test_i18ngrep'
would legitimately read its standard input, e.g. when its standard
input is redirected from a file, or when a git command's standard
output is first written to an intermediate file, which is then
preprocessed by a non-git command before the results are piped
into 'test_i18ngrep'. See two of the previous patches for the
only such cases we had in our test suite. However, reliably
preventing the piping antipattern is arguably more important than
supporting these cases, which can be easily worked around by
opening the file directly or using an intermediate file anyway.
- There are at least two parameters, not including the optional '!'
to negate the pattern. This ought to catch corner cases when
'test_i18ngrep' looks for the name of an existing file on its
standard input; the above check would miss this case becase the
filename as pattern would be the last parameter.
Note that this is not quite perfect, as it doesn't account for any
'grep --options' given as parameters. However, doing so would be
far too complicated, considering that patterns can start with
dashes as well, and in the majority of the cases we don't use any
such options anyway.

remained unnoticed since its introduction in f4113cac0 (http: limit

cause the test to fail if Git was built with a sufficiently old
libcurl version. The test's two ||-chained 'test_i18ngrep'
invocations are supposed to check that either one of the two patterns
is present in 'git clone's error message. As it happens, the first
invocation covers the error message from any reasonably up-to-date
libcurl, thus the second invocation, the one without the filename
parameter, isn't executed at all. Apparently no one has run the test
suite's httpd tests with such an old libcurl in the last 2+ years, or
at least they haven't bothered to notify us about the failed test.

When git-daemon gets a pktline request, we strip off any
trailing newline, replacing it with a NUL. Clients prior to
5ad312bede (in git v1.4.0) would send:
git-upload-pack repo.git\n
and we need to strip it off to understand their request.
After 5ad312bede, we send the host attribute but no newline,
like:
git-upload-pack repo.git\0host=example.com\0
Both of these are parsed correctly by git-daemon. But if
some client were to combine the two:
git-upload-pack repo.git\n\0host=example.com\0
we don't parse it correctly. The problem is that we use the
"len" variable to record the position of the NUL separator,
but then decrement it when we strip the newline. So we start
with:
git-upload-pack repo.git\n\0host=example.com\0
^-- len
and end up with:
git-upload-pack repo.git\0\0host=example.com\0
^-- len
This is arguably correct, since "len" tells us the length of
the initial string, but we don't actually use it for that.
What we do use it for is finding the offset of the extended
attributes; they used to be at len+1, but are now at len+2.
We can solve that by just leaving "len" where it is. We
don't have to care about the length of the shortened string,
since we just treat it like a C string.
No version of Git ever produced such a string, but it seems
like the daemon code meant to handle this case (and it seems
like a reasonable thing for somebody to do in a 3rd-party
implementation).

All of our git-protocol tests rely on invoking the client
and having it make a request of a server. That gives a nice
real-world test of how the two behave together, but it
doesn't leave any room for testing how a server might react
to _other_ clients.
Let's add a few test helper functions which can be used to
manually conduct a git-protocol conversation with a remote
git-daemon:
1. To connect to a remote git-daemon, we need something
like "netcat". But not everybody will have netcat. And
even if they do, the behavior with respect to
half-duplex shutdowns is not portable (openbsd netcat
has "-N", with others you must rely on "-q 1", which is
racy).
Here we provide a "fake_nc" that is capable of doing
a client-side netcat, with sane half-duplex semantics.
It relies on perl's IO::Socket::INET. That's been in
the base distribution since 5.6.0, so it's probably
available everywhere. But just to be on the safe side,
we'll add a prereq.
2. To help tests speak and read pktline, this patch adds
packetize() and depacketize() functions.
I've put fake_nc() into lib-git-daemon.sh, since that's
really the only server where we'd need to use a network
socket. Whereas the pktline helpers may be of more general
use, so I've added them to test-lib-functions.sh. Programs
like upload-pack speak pktline, but can talk directly over
stdio without a network socket.

If we receive a request with extended attributes after the
NUL, we try to write those attributes to the log. We do so
with a "%s" format specifier, which will only show
characters up to the first NUL.
That's enough for printing a "host=" specifier. But since
dfe422d04d (daemon: recognize hidden request arguments,
2017-10-16) we may have another NUL, followed by protocol
parameters, and those are not logged at all.
Let's cut out the attempt to show the whole string, and
instead log when we parse individual attributes. We could
leave the "extended attributes (%d bytes) exist" part of the
log, which in theory could alert us to attributes that fail
to parse. But anything we don't parse as a "host=" parameter
gets blindly added to the "protocol" attribute, so we'd see
it in that part of the log.

If receive a request like:
git-upload-pack /foo.git\0host=localhost
we mark the offset of the NUL byte as "len", and then log
the bytes after the NUL with a "%.*s" placeholder, using
"pktlen - len" as the length, and "line + len + 1" as the
start of the string.
This is off-by-one, since the start of the string skips past
the separating NUL byte, but the adjusted length includes
it. Fortunately this doesn't actually read past the end of
the buffer, since "%.*s" will stop when it hits a NUL. And
regardless of what is in the buffer, packet_read() will
always add an extra NUL terminator for safety.
As an aside, the git.git client sends an extra NUL after a
"host" field, too, so we'd generally hit that one first, not
the one added by packet_read(). You can see this in the test
output which reports 15 bytes, even though the string has
only 14 bytes of visible data. But the point is that even a
client sending unusual data could not get us to read past
the end of the buffer, so this is purely a cosmetic fix.
