Remove the implicit dependency on the_repository in this function.
It will be used in sha1-name.c functions when they are updated to take
any 'struct repository'. get_commit_tree() remains as a compat wrapper,
to be slowly replaced later.
Any access to "maybe_tree" field directly will result in _broken_ code
after running through commit.cocci because we can't know what is the
right repository to use.
the_repository would be correct most of the time. But we're relying less
and less on the_repository and that assumption may no longer be
true. The transformation now is more of a poor man replacement for a C++

"maybe" pointer in 'struct commit' is tricky because it can be lazily
initialized to take advantage of commit-graph if available. This makes
it not safe to access directly.
This leads to a rule in commit.cocci to rewrite 'x->maybe_tree' to
'get_commit_tree(x)'. But that rule alone could lead to incorrectly
rewrite assignments, e.g. from
x->maybe_tree = yes
to
get_commit_tree(x) = yes
Because of this we have a second rule to revert this effect. Szeder
found out that we could do better by performing the assignment rewrite
rule first, then the remaining is read-only access and handled by the
current first rule.
For this to work, we need to transform "x->maybe_tree = y" to something
that does NOT contain "x->maybe_tree" to avoid the original first
rule. This is where set_commit_tree() comes in.

When writing objects/info/packs, we use the basename of each pack
(i.e., just the "pack-1234abcd.pack" part). We compute that manually by
adding "objdirlen + 6" to the name.
This _should_ work consistently, as we do not include non-local packs,
meaning everything should be in $objdir/pack/. Before f13d7db4af
(server-info.c: use pack_local like everybody else., 2005-12-05), this
was definitely true, since we computed "local" based on comparing the
objdir string. Since then, we're relying on the code on packfile.c to
match our expectations of p->pack_name and p->local.
I think our expectations do still hold today, but we can be a bit more
defensive by just using pack_basename() to get the base. That
future-proofs us, and should hopefully be more obviously safe to
somebody reading the code.

We keep an array of struct pointers, with each one representing a single

struct, which has never been used.
This is probably cruft left over from development, where we might have
wanted a nr_alloc to dynamically grow the list. But as it turns out, we
do not dynamically grow the list at all, but rather count up the total
number of packs and use that as a maximum size. So while we're thinking
of this, let's add an assert() that documents (and checks!) that our

When we're writing out a new objects/info/packs file, we read back the
old one to try to keep the ordering the same. When we see a line
starting with "P", we expect "P pack-1234..." and blindly jump to "line
+ 2" to parse the pack name. If we saw a line with _just_ "P" and
nothing else, we'd jump past the end of the buffer and start reading
arbitrary memory.
This shouldn't be a big attack vector, as the files are local to the
repository and written by us, but it's clearly worth fixing (we do read
remote copies of the file for dumb-http fetches, but using a totally
different parser!).
Let's instead use skip_prefix() here, which avoids pointer arithmetic
altogether. Note that this converts our switch statement to an if/else

We can use skip_prefix() and parse_oid_hex() to continuously increment
our pointer, rather than dealing with magic numbers. This also fixes a
few small shortcomings:
- if we see a line with the right prefix, suffix, and length, i.e.
matching /P pack-.{40}.pack\n/, we'll interpret the middle part as
hex without checking if it could be parsed. This could lead to us
looking at uninitialized garbage in the hash array. In practice this
means we'll just make a garbage request to the server which will
fail, though it's interesting that a malicious server could convince
us to leak 40 bytes of uninitialized stack to them.
- the current code is picky about seeing a newline at the end of file,
but we can easily be more liberal

When we have a multi-pack-index that covers many packfiles, we try to
avoid opening the .idx for those packfiles. To do that we feed the pack
name to midx_contains_pack(). But that function wants to see only the
basename, which we compute using strrchr() to find the final slash. But
that leaves an extra "/" at the start of our string.
We can fix this by incrementing the pointer. That also raises the
question of what to do when the name does not have a '/' at all. This
should generally not happen (we always find files in "pack/"), but it
doesn't hurt to be defensive here.
Let's wrap all of that up in a helper function and make it publicly
available, since a later patch will need to use it, too.
The tests don't notice because there's nothing about opening those .idx
files that would cause us to give incorrect output. It's just a little
slower. The new test checks this case by corrupting the covered .idx,
and then making sure we don't complain about it.
We also have to tweak t5570, which intentionally corrupts a .idx file
and expects us to notice it. When run with GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX,
this will fail since we now will (correctly) not bother opening the .idx
at all. We can fix that by unconditionally dropping any midx that's
there, which ensures we'll have to read the .idx.

A midx file (and the struct we parse from it) contains a list of all of
the covered packfiles, mentioned by their ".idx" names (e.g.,
"pack-1234.idx", etc). And thus calls to midx_contains_pack() expect
callers to provide the idx name.
This works for most of the calls, but the one in open_packed_git_1()
tries to feed a packed_git->pack_name, which is the ".pack" name,
meaning we'll never find a match (even if the pack is covered by the
midx).
We can fix this by converting the ".pack" to ".idx" in the caller.
However, that requires allocating a new string. Instead, let's make
midx_contains_pack() a bit friendlier, and allow it take _either_ the
.pack or .idx variant.
All cleverness in the matching code is credited to René. Bugs are mine.
There's no test here, because while this does fix _a_ bug, it's masked
by another bug in that same caller. That will be covered (with a test)
in the next patch.

We can't create a pack revindex if we haven't actually looked at the
index. Normally we would never get as far as creating a revindex without
having already been looking in the pack, so this code never bothered to
double-check that pack->index_data had been loaded.
But with the new multi-pack-index feature, many code paths might not
load the individual pack .idx at all (they'd find objects via the midx
and then open the .pack, but not its index).
This can't yet be triggered in practice, because a bug in the midx code
means we accidentally open up the individual .idx files anyway. But in
preparation for fixing that, let's have the revindex code check that
everything it needs has been loaded.
In most cases this will just be a quick noop. But note that this does
introduce a possibility of error (if we have to open the index and it's
corrupt), so load_pack_revindex() now returns a result code, and callers
need to handle the error.

Our filter_refs() function accidentally considers the target of a peeled
tag to be advertised by the server, even though upload-pack on the
server side does not consider it so. This can result in the client
making a bogus fetch to the server, which will end with the server
complaining "not our ref". Whereas the correct behavior is for the
client to notice that the server will not allow the request and error
out immediately.
So as bugs go, this is not very serious (the outcome is the same either
way -- the fetch fails). But it's worth making the logic here correct
and consistent with other related cases (e.g., fetching an oid that the
server did not mention at all).
The crux of the issue comes from fdb69d33c4 (fetch-pack: always allow
fetching of literal SHA1s, 2017-05-15). After that, the strategy of
filter_refs() is basically:
- for each advertised ref, try to match it with a "sought" ref
provided by the user. Skip any malformed refs (which includes
peeled values like "refs/tags/foo^{}"), and place any unmatched
items onto the unmatched list.
- if there are unmatched sought refs, then put all of the advertised
tips into an oidset, including the unmatched ones.
- for each sought ref, see if it's in the oidset, in which case it's
legal for us to ask the server for it
The problem is in the second step. Our list of unmatched refs includes
the peeled refs, even though upload-pack does not allow them to be
directly fetched. So the simplest fix would be to exclude them during
that step.
However, we can observe that the unmatched list isn't used for anything
else, and is freed at the end. We can just free those malformed refs
immediately. That saves us having to check each ref a second time to see
if it's malformed.
Note that this code only kicks in when "strict" is in effect. I.e., if
we are using the v0 protocol and uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant is
not in effect. With v2, all oids are allowed, and we do not bother
creating or consulting the oidset at all. To future-proof our test
against the upcoming GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION flag, we'll manually mark
it as a v0-only test.

Since 2d103c31c2 (pack-protocol.txt: accept error packets in any
context, 2018-12-29), the pktline code will detect an ERR packet and die
automatically, saving the caller from dealing with it. But we do so too
early in the function, before we have terminated the buffer with a NUL.
As a result, passing the ERR message to die() may result in us printing
random cruft from a previous packet. This doesn't trigger memory tools
like ASan because we reuse the same buffer over and over (so the
contents are valid and initialized; they're just stale).
We can see demonstrate this by tightening the regex we use to match the
error message in t5516; without this patch, git-fetch will accidentally
print the capabilities from the (much longer) initial packet we
received.
By moving the ERR code later in the function we get a few other
benefits, too:
- we'll now chomp any newline sent by the other side (which is what we
want, since die() will add its own newline)
- we'll now mention the ERR packet with GIT_TRACE_PACKET

Commit bdb31eada7 (upload-pack: report "not our ref" to client,
2017-02-23) catches the case where a client asks for an object we don't
have, and issues a message that the client can show to the user (in
addition to dying and writing to stderr).
There's a similar case (with the same message) when the client asks for
an object which we _do_ have, but which isn't a ref tip (or isn't
reachable, when uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant is true). Let's give
that one the same treatment, for the same reason (namely that it's more
informative to the client than just hanging up, since they won't see our
stderr over some protocols).
There are two tests here. We cover it most directly in t5530 by invoking
upload-pack, which matches the existing "not our ref" test.
But a more end-to-end check is that "git fetch" actually shows the
message to the client. We're already checking in t5516 that this case
fails, so we can just check stderr there, too. Note that even after we
started ignoring SIGPIPE in 8bf4becf0c, this could in theory still be
racy as described in that commit (because we die() on write failures
before pumping the connection for any ERR packets).
In practice this should be OK for this case. The server will not
actually check reachability until it has received our whole group of
"want" lines. And since we have no objects in the repository, we won't
send any "have" lines, meaning we're always waiting to read the server
response.
Note also that this case cannot happen in the v2 protocol, since it
allows any available object to be requested. However, we don't have to
take any steps to protect against the upcoming GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION
in our tests:
- the tests in t5516 would already need to be skipped under v2, and
that is covered by ab0c5f5096 (tests: always test fetch of
unreachable with v0, 2019-02-25)
- the tests in t5530 invoke upload-pack directly, which will continue
to default to v0. Eventually we may have a test setting which uses
v2 even for bare upload-pack calls, but we can't override it here
until we know what the setting looks like.

Some of the recently added progress indicators have quite long titles,
which might be even longer when translated to some languages, and when
they are shown while operating on bigger repositories, then the
progress bar grows longer than the default 80 column terminal width.
When the progress bar exceeds the width of the terminal it gets
line-wrapped, and after that the CR at the end doesn't return to the
beginning of the progress bar, but to the first column of its last
line. Consequently, the first line of the previously shown progress
bar is not overwritten by the next, and we end up with a bunch of
truncated progress bar lines scrolling past:
$ LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 git commit-graph write

Encontrando commits para commit graph entre los objetos empaquetados: 4% (2633
Encontrando commits para commit graph entre los objetos empaquetados: 5% (3292
[...]
Prevent this by breaking progress bars after the title once they
exceed the width of the terminal, so the counter and optional
percentage and throughput, i.e. all changing parts, are on the last
line. Subsequent updates will from then on only refresh the changing
parts, but not the title, and it will look like this:
$ LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 ~/src/git/git commit-graph write

Escribiendo commit graph en 4 pasos: 100% (3298820/3298820), listo.
Note that the number of columns in the terminal is cached by
term_columns(), so this might not kick in when it should when a
terminal window is resized while the operation is running.
Furthermore, this change won't help if the terminal is so narrow that
the counters don't fit on one line, but I would put this in the "If it

When the progress bar includes throughput, its length can shorten as
the unit of display changes from KiB to MiB. To cover up remnants of
the previous progress bar when such a change of units happens we
always print three spaces at the end of the progress bar.
Alas, covering only three characters is not quite enough: when both
the total and the throughput happen to change units from KiB to MiB in
the same update, then the progress bar's length is shortened by four
characters (or maybe even more!):
Receiving objects: 25% (2901/11603), 772.01 KiB | 733.00 KiB/s
Receiving objects: 27% (3133/11603), 1.43 MiB | 1.16 MiB/s s
and a stray 's' is left behind.
So instead of hard-coding the three characters to cover, let's compare
the length of the current progress bar with the previous one, and
cover up as many characters as needed.
Sure, it would be much simpler to just print more spaces at the end of
the progress bar, but this approach is more future-proof, and it won't
print extra spaces when none are needed, notably when the progress bar
doesn't show throughput and thus never shrinks.

Robin reported that
git submodule foreach --quiet git pull --quiet origin
is not really quiet anymore [1]. "git pull" behaves as if --quiet is not
given.
This happens because parseopt in submodule--helper will try to parse
both --quiet options as if they are foreach's options, not git-pull's.
The parsed options are removed from the command line. So when we do
pull later, we execute just this
git pull origin
When calling submodule helper, adding "--" in front of "git pull" will
stop parseopt for parsing options that do not really belong to
submodule--helper foreach.
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN is removed as a safety measure. parseopt should
never see unknown options or something has gone wrong. There are also
a couple usage string update while I'm looking at them.
While at it, I also add "--" to other subcommands that pass "$@" to
submodule--helper. "$@" in these cases are paths and less likely to be
--something-like-this. But the point still stands, git-submodule has
parsed and classified what are options, what are paths. submodule--helper
should never consider paths passed by git-submodule to be options even
if they look like one.
The test case is also contributed by Robin.
[1] it should be quiet before fc1b9243cd (submodule: port submodule

can't accidentally eat options then.

Git's command-line parsers support uniquely abbreviated options, e.g.
`git init --ba` would automatically expand `--ba` to `--bare`.
This is a very convenient feature in every day life for Git users, in
particular when tab completion is not available.
However, it is not a good idea to rely on that in Git's test suite, as
something that is a unique abbreviation of a command line option today
might no longer be a unique abbreviation tomorrow.
For example, if a future contribution added a new mode
`git init --babyproofing` and a previously-introduced test case used the
fact that `git init --ba` expanded to `git init --bare`, that future
contribution would now have to touch seemingly unrelated tests just to
keep the test suite from failing.
So let's disallow abbreviated options in the test suite by default.
Note: for ease of implementation, this patch really only touches the
`parse-options` machinery: more and more hand-rolled option parsers are
converted to use that internal API, and more and more scripts are
converted to built-ins (naturally using the parse-options API, too), so
in practice this catches most issues, and is definitely the biggest bang
for the buck.

When passing a tag as a parent argument to `git replace --graft`,
it can be useful to accept it and use the underlying commit as a
parent.
This already works for lightweight tags, but unfortunately
for annotated tags we have been using the hash of the tag object
instead of the hash of the underlying commit as a parent in the
replacement object we create.
This created invalid objects, but the replace succeeded even if
it showed an error like:
error: object A is a tag, not a commit
This patch fixes that by using the hash of the underlying commit
when an annotated tag is passed.
While at it, let's also update an error message to make it
clearer.
