Old test for `git commit` was corrected, previously it was instructed
to use stdin but wasn't provided with any stdin. While this works at

When `interactive.singlekey = true`, we react immediately to keystrokes,
even to Escape sequences (e.g. when pressing a cursor key).
The problem with Escape sequences is that we do not really know when
they are done, and as a heuristic we poll standard input for half a
second to make sure that we got all of it.
While waiting half a second is not asking for a whole lot, it can become
quite annoying over time, therefore with this patch, we read the
terminal capabilities (if available) and extract known Escape sequences
from there, then stop polling immediately when we detected that the user
pressed a key that generated such a known sequence.
This recapitulates the remaining part of b5cc003253 (add -i: ignore
terminal escape sequences, 2011-05-17).
Note: We do *not* query the terminal capabilities directly. That would
either require a lot of platform-specific code, or it would require
linking to a library such as ncurses.
Linking to a library in the built-ins is something we try very hard to
avoid (we even kicked the libcurl dependency to a non-built-in remote
helper, just to shave off a tiny fraction of a second from Git's startup
time). And the platform-specific code would be a maintenance nightmare.
Even worse: in Git for Windows' case, we would need to query MSYS2
pseudo terminals, which `git.exe` simply cannot do (because it is
intentionally *not* an MSYS2 program).
To address this, we simply spawn `infocmp -L -1` and parse its output
(which works even in Git for Windows, because that helper is included in
the end-user facing installations).
This is done only once, as in the Perl version, but it is done only when
the first Escape sequence is encountered, not upon startup of `git add
-i`; This saves on startup time, yet makes reacting to the first Escape
sequence slightly more sluggish. But it allows us to keep the
terminal-related code encapsulated in the `compat/terminal.c` file.

This recapitulates part of b5cc003253 (add -i: ignore terminal escape
sequences, 2011-05-17):
add -i: ignore terminal escape sequences
On the author's terminal, the up-arrow input sequence is ^[[A, and
thus fat-fingering an up-arrow into 'git checkout -p' is quite
dangerous: git-add--interactive.perl will ignore the ^[ and [
characters and happily treat A as "discard everything".
As a band-aid fix, use Term::Cap to get all terminal capabilities.
Then use the heuristic that any capability value that starts with ^[
(i.e., \e in perl) must be a key input sequence. Finally, given an
input that starts with ^[, read more characters until we have read a
full escape sequence, then return that to the caller. We use a
timeout of 0.5 seconds on the subsequent reads to avoid getting stuck
if the user actually input a lone ^[.
Since none of the currently recognized keys start with ^[, the net
result is that the sequence as a whole will be ignored and the help
displayed.
Note that we leave part for later which uses "Term::Cap to get all
terminal capabilities", for several reasons:
1. it is actually not really necessary, as the timeout of 0.5 seconds
should be plenty sufficient to catch Escape sequences,
2. it is cleaner to keep the change to special-case Escape sequences
separate from the change that reads all terminal capabilities to
speed things up, and
3. in practice, relying on the terminal capabilities is a bit overrated,
as the information could be incomplete, or plain wrong. For example,
in this developer's tmux sessions, the terminal capabilities claim
that the "cursor up" sequence is ^[M, but the actual sequence
produced by the "cursor up" key is ^[[A.

The Perl version of `git add -p` supports this config setting to allow
users to input commands via single characters (as opposed to having to
press the <Enter> key afterwards).
This is an opt-in feature because it requires Perl packages
(Term::ReadKey and Term::Cap, where it tries to handle an absence of the
latter package gracefully) to work. Note that at least on Ubuntu, that
Perl package is not installed by default (it needs to be installed via
`sudo apt-get install libterm-readkey-perl`), so this feature is
probably not used a whole lot.
In C, we obviously do not have these packages available, but we just
introduced `read_single_keystroke()` that is similar to what
Term::ReadKey provides, and we use that here.

Typically, input on the command-line is line-based. It is actually not
really easy to get single characters (or better put: keystrokes).
We provide two implementations here:
- One that handles `/dev/tty` based systems as well as native Windows.
The former uses the `tcsetattr()` function to put the terminal into
"raw mode", which allows us to read individual keystrokes, one by one.
The latter uses `stty.exe` to do the same, falling back to direct
Win32 Console access.
Thanks to the refactoring leading up to this commit, this is a single
function, with the platform-specific details hidden away in
conditionally-compiled code blocks.
- A fall-back which simply punts and reads back an entire line.
Note that the function writes the keystroke into an `strbuf` rather than
a `char`, in preparation for reading Escape sequences (e.g. when the
user hit an arrow key). This is also required for UTF-8 sequences in
case the keystroke corresponds to a non-ASCII letter.

Git for Windows' Git Bash runs in MinTTY by default, which does not have
a Win32 Console instance, but uses MSYS2 pseudo terminals instead.
This is a problem, as Git for Windows does not want to use the MSYS2
emulation layer for Git itself, and therefore has no direct way to
interact with that pseudo terminal.
As a workaround, use the `stty` utility (which is included in Git for
Windows, and which *is* an MSYS2 program, so it knows how to deal with
the pseudo terminal).
Note: If Git runs in a regular CMD or PowerShell window, there *is* a
regular Win32 Console to work with. This is not a problem for the MSYS2
`stty`: it copes with this scenario just fine.
Also note that we introduce support for more bits than would be

In 42f7d45428 (add--interactive: detect bogus diffFilter output,
2018-03-03), we added a test case that verifies that the diffFilter
feature complains appropriately when the output is too short.
In preparation for the upcoming change where the built-in `add -p` is
taught to respect that setting, let's adjust that test a little. The
problem is that `echo too-short` is configured as diffFilter, and it
does not read the `stdin`. When calling it through `pipe_command()`, it
is therefore possible that we try to feed the `diff` to it while it is
no longer listening, and we receive a `SIGPIPE`.
The Perl code apparently handles this in a way similar to an
end-of-file, but taking a step back, we realize that a diffFilter that
does not even _look_ at its standard input is very unrealistic. The
entire point of this feature is to transform the diff, not to ignore it
altogether.
So let's modify the test case to reflect that insight: instead of
printing some bogus text, let's use a diffFilter that deletes the first
line of the diff instead.
This still tests for the same thing, but it does not confuse the
built-in `add -p` with that `SIGPIPE`.

Unless --force is specified, 'submodule add' checks if the destination
path is ignored by calling 'git add --dry-run --ignore-missing', and,
if that call fails, aborts with a custom "path is ignored" message (a
slight variant of what 'git add' shows). Aborting early rather than
letting the downstream 'git add' call fail is done so that the command
exits before cloning into the destination path. However, in rare
cases where the dry-run call fails for a reason other than the path
being ignored---for example, due to a preexisting index.lock
file---displaying the "ignored path" error message hides the real
source of the failure.
Instead of displaying the tailored "ignored path" message, let's
report the standard error from the dry run to give the caller more
accurate information about failures that are not due to an ignored
path.
For the ignored path case, this leads to the following change in the
error message:
The following [-path is-]{+paths are+} ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
<destination path>
Use -f if you really want to add [-it.-]{+them.+}
The new phrasing is a bit awkward, because 'submodule add' is only
dealing with one destination path. Alternatively, we could continue
to use the tailored message when the exit code is 1 (the expected
status for a failure due to an ignored path) and relay the standard
error for all other non-zero exits. That, however, risks hiding the
message of unrelated failures that share an exit code of 1, so it
doesn't seem worth doing just to avoid a clunkier, but still clear,
error message.

Further tweak to a "no backslash in indexed paths" for Windows port
we applied earlier.
* js/mingw-loosen-overstrict-tree-entry-checks:
mingw: safeguard better against backslashes in file names
In 224c7d70fa (mingw: only test index entries for backslashes, not tree
entries, 2019-12-31), we relaxed the check for backslashes in tree
entries to check only index entries.
However, the code change was incorrect: it was added to
`add_index_entry_with_check()`, not to `add_index_entry()`, so under
certain circumstances it was possible to side-step the protection.
Besides, the description of that commit purported that all index entries
would be checked when in fact they were only checked when being added to
the index (there are code paths that do not do that, constructing
"transient" index entries).
In any case, it was pointed out in one insightful review at
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2437#issuecomment-566771835
that it would be a much better idea to teach `verify_path()` to perform
the check for a backslash. This is safer, even if it comes with two
notable drawbacks:
- `verify_path()` cannot say _what_ is wrong with the path, therefore
the user will no longer be told that there was a backslash in the
path, only that the path was invalid.
- The `git apply` command also calls the `verify_path()` function, and
might have been able to handle Windows-style paths (i.e. with
backslashes instead of forward slashes). This will no longer be
possible unless the user (temporarily) sets `core.protectNTFS=false`.
Note that `git add <windows-path>` will _still_ work because
`normalize_path_copy_len()` will convert the backslashes to forward
slashes before hitting the code path that creates an index entry.
The clear advantage is that `verify_path()`'s purpose is to check the
validity of the file name, therefore we naturally tap into all the code
paths that need safeguarding, also implicitly into future code paths.
The benefits of that approach outweigh the downsides, so let's move the
check from `add_index_entry_with_check()` to `verify_path()`.

The clear_ce_flags_dir() method processes the cache entries within
a common directory. The returned int is the number of cache entries
processed by that directory. When using the sparse-checkout feature
in cone mode, we can skip the pattern matching for entries in the
directories that are entirely included or entirely excluded.
eb42feca (unpack-trees: hash less in cone mode, 2019-11-21)
introduced this performance feature. The old mechanism relied on
the counts returned by calling clear_ce_flags_1(), but the new
mechanism calculated the number of rows by subtracting "cache_end"
from "cache" to find the size of the range. However, the equation
is wrong because it divides by sizeof(struct cache_entry *). This
is not how pointer arithmetic works!
A coverity build of Git for Windows in preparation for the 2.25.0
release found this issue with the warning, "Pointer differences,
such as cache_end - cache, are automatically scaled down by the
size (8 bytes) of the pointed-to type (struct cache_entry *).
Most likely, the division by sizeof(struct cache_entry *) is
extraneous and should be eliminated." This warning is correct.
This leaves us with the question "how did this even work?" The
problem that occurs with this incorrect pointer arithmetic is
a performance-only bug, and a very slight one at that. Since
the entry count returned by clear_ce_flags_dir() is reduced by
a factor of 8, the loop in clear_ce_flags_1() will re-process
entries from those directories.
By inserting global counters into unpack-tree.c and tracing
them with trace2_data_intmax() (in a private change, for
testing), I was able to see count how many times the loop inside
clear_ce_flags_1() processed an entry and how many times
clear_ce_flags_dir() was called. Each of these are reduced by at
least a factor of 8 with the current change. A factor larger
than 8 happens when multiple levels of directories are repeated.
Specifically, in the Linux kernel repo, the command
git sparse-checkout set LICENSES
restricts the working directory to only the files at root and
in the LICENSES directory. Here are the measured counts:
clear_ce_flags_1 loop blocks:
Before: 11,520
After: 1,621
clear_ce_flags_dir calls:
Before: 7,048
After: 606
While these are dramatic counts, the time spent in
clear_ce_flags_1() is under one millisecond in each case, so
the improvement is not measurable as an end-to-end time.

When "git log --graph" shows a merge commit that has two collapsing
lines, like:
| | | | *
| |_|_|/|
|/| | |/
| | |/|
| |/| |
| * | |
* | | |
we trigger an assert():
graph.c:1228: graph_output_collapsing_line: Assertion
`graph->mapping[i - 3] == target' failed.
The assert was introduced by eaf158f8 ("graph API: Use horizontal
lines for more compact graphs", 2009-04-21), which is quite old.
This assert is trying to say that when we complete a horizontal
line with a single slash, it is because we have reached our target.
It is actually the _second_ collapsing line that hits this assert.
The reason we are in this code path is because we are collapsing
the first line, and in that case we are hitting our target now
that the horizontal line is complete. However, the second line
cannot be a horizontal line, so it will collapse without horizontal
lines. In this case, it is inappropriate to assert that we have
reached our target, as we need to continue for another column
before reaching the target. Dropping the assert is safe here.
The new behavior in 0f0f389f12 (graph: tidy up display of
left-skewed merges, 2019-10-15) caused the behavior change that
made this assertion failure possible. In addition to making the
assert possible, it also changed how multiple edges collapse.
In a larger example, the current code will output a collapse
as follows:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | | | |/| /
| | | |/| |/
| | |/| |/|
| |/| |/| |
| | |/| | |
| | * | | |
However, the intended collapse should allow multiple horizontal lines
as follows:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | |_|_|/| /
| |/| | | |/
| | | |_|/|
| | |/| | |
| | * | | |
This behavior is not corrected by this change, but is noted for a later
update.

Since ba227857d2 (Reduce the number of connects when fetching,

packet. This cleanly tells the other side that we're done, and avoids
the other side complaining "the remote end hung up unexpectedly" (though
we'd only see that for transports that pass along the server stderr,
like ssh or local-host).
But when we've initiated a v2 stateless-connect session over a transport
helper, there's no point in sending this flush packet. Each operation
we've performed is self-contained, and the other side is fine with us
hanging up between operations.
But much worse, by sending the flush packet we may cause the helper to
issue an entirely new request _just_ to send the flush packet. So we can
incur an extra network request just to say "by the way, we have nothing
more to send".
Let's drop this extra flush packet. As the test shows, this reduces the
number of POSTs required for a v2 ls-remote over http from 2 to 1.

It's possible in a case where the index file contains a tree extension
but no blobs within that tree exist for index_pos_by_traverse_info() to
segfault. If the name_entry passed into index_pos_by_traverse_info() has
no blobs inside, AND is alphabetically later than all blobs currently in

an index file which looks something like this:
aaa#0
bbb/aaa#0
[Extensions]
TREE: zzz
In this example, 'index_name_pos(..., "zzz/", ...)' will return '-4',
indicating that "zzz/" could be inserted at position 3. However, when
the checks which ensure that the insertion position of "zzz/" look for a
blob at that position beginning with "zzz/", the index cache is accessed
out of range, causing a segfault.
This kind of index state is not typically generated during user
operations, and is in fact an edge case of the state being checked for
in the conditional where it was added. However, since the entry for the
BUG() line is ambiguous, tell some additional context to help Git
developers debug the failure later. When we know the name of the dir we

in a hex util to determine what went wrong; the position gives a hint

When "git restore --staged <path>" removes a path that's in the index,
it marks the entry with CE_REMOVE, but we don't do anything to
invalidate the cache-tree. In the non-staged case, we end up in
checkout_worktree(), which calls remove_marked_cache_entries(). That
actually drops the entries from the index, as well as invalidating the
cache-tree and untracked-cache.
But with --staged, we never call checkout_worktree(), and the CE_REMOVE
entries remain. Interestingly, they are dropped when we write out the
index, but that means the resulting index is inconsistent: its
cache-tree will not match the actual entries, and running "git commit"
immediately after will create the wrong tree.
We can solve this by calling remove_marked_cache_entries() ourselves
before writing out the index. Note that we can't just hoist it out of
checkout_worktree(); that function needs to iterate over the CE_REMOVE
entries (to drop their matching worktree files) before removing them.
One curiosity about the test: without this patch, it actually triggers a
BUG() when running git-restore:
BUG: cache-tree.c:810: new1 with flags 0x4420000 should not be in cache-tree
But in the original problem report, which used a similar recipe,
git-restore actually creates the bogus index (and the commit is created
with the wrong tree). I'm not sure why the test here behaves differently
than my out-of-suite reproduction, but what's here should catch either
symptom (and the fix corrects both cases).

For easier understanding, here are the existing good scenarios:
1) Have *no* file 'foo', *no* local branch 'foo' and a *single*

2) `git checkout foo` will create local branch foo, see [1]
and
1) Have *a* file 'foo', *no* local branch 'foo' and a *single*
remote branch 'foo'
2) `git checkout foo` will complain, see [3]
This patch prevents the following scenario:
1) Have *a* file 'foo', *no* local branch 'foo' and *multiple*
remote branches 'foo'
2) `git checkout foo` will successfully... revert contents of
file `foo`!
That is, adding another remote suddenly changes behavior significantly,
which is a surprise at best and could go unnoticed by user at worst.
Please see [3] which gives some real world complaints.
To my understanding, fix in [3] overlooked the case of multiple remotes,
and the whole behavior of falling back to reverting file was never
intended:
[1] introduces the unexpected behavior. Before, there was fallback
from not-a-ref to pathspec. This is reasonable fallback. After, there
is another fallback from ambiguous-remote to pathspec. I understand
that it was a copy&paste oversight.
[2] noticed the unexpected behavior but chose to semi-document it
instead of forbidding, because the goal of the patch series was
focused on something else.
[3] adds `die()` when there is ambiguity between branch and file. The
case of multiple tracking branches is seemingly overlooked.
The new behavior: if there is no local branch and multiple remote
candidates, just die() and don't try reverting file whether it
exists (prevents surprise) or not (improves error message).

In this function, we free the pointer we get from locate_in_PATH and
then check whether it's NULL. However, this is undefined behavior if
the pointer is non-NULL, since the C standard no longer permits us to
use a valid pointer after freeing it.
The only case in which the C standard would permit this to be defined
behavior is if r were NULL, since it states that in such a case "no
action occurs" as a result of calling free.
It's easy to suggest that this is not likely to be a problem, but we
know that GCC does aggressively exploit the fact that undefined
behavior can never occur to optimize and rewrite code, even when that's
contrary to the expectations of the programmer. It is, in fact, very
common for it to omit NULL pointer checks, just as we have here.
Since it's easy to fix, let's do so, and avoid a potential headache in
the future.

In commit 1959bf6430 (string_list API: document what "sorted" means,
2012-09-17), Documentation/technical/api-string-list.txt was updated to
specify that strcmp() was used for sorting. In commit 8dd5afc926
(string-list: allow case-insensitive string list, 2013-01-07), a cmp
member was added to struct string_list to allow callers to specify an
alternative comparison function, but api-string-list.txt was not
updated. In commit 4f665f2cf3 (string-list.h: move documentation from
Documentation/api/ into header, 2017-09-26), the now out-dated
api-string-list.txt documentation was moved into string-list.h. Update
the docs to reflect the configurability of sorting.

check_updates() has a lot of code that repeatedly checks whether
o->update or o->dry_run are set. (Note that o->dry_run is a
near-synonym for !o->update, but not quite as per commit 2c9078d05b
("unpack-trees: add the dry_run flag to unpack_trees_options",
2011-05-25).) In fact, this function almost turns into a no-op whenever
the condition
!o->update || o->dry_run
is met. Simplify the code by checking this condition at the beginning
of the function, and when it is true, do the few things that are
relevant and return early.
There are a few things that make the conversion not quite obvious:
* The fact that check_updates() does not actually turn into a no-op
when updates are not wanted may be slightly surprising. However,
commit 33ecf7eb61 (Discard "deleted" cache entries after using them
to update the working tree, 2008-02-07) put the discarding of
unused cache entries in check_updates() so we still need to keep
the call to remove_marked_cache_entries(). It's possible this
call belongs in another function, but it is certainly needed as
tests will fail if it is removed.
* The original called remove_scheduled_dirs() unconditionally.
Technically, commit 7847892716 (unlink_entry(): introduce
schedule_dir_for_removal(), 2009-02-09) should have made that call
conditional, but it didn't matter in practice because
remove_scheduled_dirs() becomes a no-op when all the calls to
unlink_entry() are skipped. As such, we do not need to call it.
* When (o->dry_run && o->update), the original would have two calls
to git_attr_set_direction() surrounding a bunch of skipped updates.
These two calls to git_attr_set_direction() cancel each other out
and thus can be omitted when o->dry_run is true just as they
already are when !o->update.
* The code would previously call setup_collided_checkout_detection()
and report_collided_checkout() even when o->dry_run. However, this
was just an expensive no-op because
setup_collided_checkout_detection() merely cleared the CE_MATCHED
flag for each cache entry, and report_collided_checkout() reported
which ones had it set. Since a dry-run would skip all the
checkout_entry() calls, CE_MATCHED would never get set and thus
no collisions would be reported. Since we can't detect the
collisions anyway without doing updates, skipping the collisions
detection setup and reporting is an optimization.
* The code previously would call get_progress() and
display_progress() even when (!o->update || o->dry_run). This
served to show how long it took to skip all the updates, which is
somewhat useless. Since we are skipping the updates, we can skip
showing how long it takes to skip them.
