e145a0bc9b config: correct file reading order in read_early_config()
Config file reading order is important because each file can override
values in the previous files and this is expected behavior. Normally
we read in this order, all in do_git_config_sequence():

1. $HOME/.gitconfig
2. $GIT_DIR/config
3. config from command line

However in read_early_config() the order may be swapped a bit if
setup_git_directory() has not been called:

1. $HOME/.gitconfig
2. $GIT_DIR/config is NOT read because .git dir is not found _yet_
3. config from command line
4. $GIT_DIR/config is now READ (after discover_git_directory() call)

The reading at step 4 could override config at step 3, which is not
the expectation.

Now that we could pass the .git dir around, we could feed
discover_git_directory() back to step 2, so that it works again, and
remove step 4.

2185fde563 config: handle conditional include when $GIT_DIR is not set up
If setup_git_directory() and friends have not been called,
get_git_dir() (because of includeIf.gitdir:XXX) would lead to

    die("BUG: setup_git_env called without repository");

There are two cases when a config file could be read before $GIT_DIR
is located.

The first one is check_repository_format(), where we read just the one
file $GIT_DIR/config to check if we could understand this
repository. This case should be safe. We do not parse include
directives, which can only be triggered from git_config_with_options,
but setup code uses a lower-level function. The concerned variables
should never be hidden away behind includes anyway.

The second one is triggered in check_pager_config() when we're about
to run an external git command. We might be able to find $GIT_DIR in
this case, which is exactly what read_early_config() does (and also is
what check_pager_config() uses). Conditional includes and
get_git_dir() could be triggered by the first
git_config_with_options() call there, before discover_git_directory()
is used as a fallback $GIT_DIR detection.

Detect this special "early reading" case, pass down the $GIT_DIR,
either from previous setup or detected by discover_git_directory(),
and make conditional include use it.

86f9515708 config: resolve symlinks in conditional include's patterns
$GIT_DIR returned by get_git_dir() is normalized, with all symlinks
resolved (see setup_work_tree function). In order to match paths (or
patterns) against $GIT_DIR char-by-char, they have to be normalized
too. There is a note in config.txt about this, that the user need to
resolve symlinks by themselves if needed.

The problem is, we allow certain path expansion, '~/' and './', for
convenience and can't ask the user to resolve symlinks in these
expansions. Make sure the expanded paths have all symlinks resolved.

PS. The strbuf_realpath(&text, get_git_dir(), 1) is still needed because
get_git_dir() may return relative path.

1a27409ae8 read_early_config(): really discover .git/
Earlier, we punted and simply assumed that we are in the top-level
directory of the project, and that there is no .git file but a .git/
directory so that we can read directly from .git/config.

However, that is not necessarily true. We may be in a subdirectory. Or
.git may be a gitfile. Or the environment variable GIT_DIR may be set.

To remedy this situation, we just refactored the way
setup_git_directory() discovers the .git/ directory, to make it
reusable, and more importantly, to leave all global variables and the
current working directory alone.

Let's discover the .git/ directory correctly in read_early_config() by
using that new function.

This fixes 4 known breakages in t7006.

267b4538c0 read_early_config(): avoid .git/config hack when unneeded
So far, we only look whether the startup_info claims to have seen a
git_dir.

However, do_git_config_sequence() (and consequently the
git_config_with_options() call used by read_early_config() asks the
have_git_dir() function whether we have a .git/ directory, which in turn
also looks at git_dir and at the environment variable GIT_DIR. And when
this is the case, the repository config is handled already, so we do not
have to do that again explicitly.

Let's just use the same function, have_git_dir(), to determine whether we
have to handle .git/config explicitly.

3efd0bedc6 config: add conditional include
Sometimes a set of repositories want to share configuration settings
among themselves that are distinct from other such sets of repositories.
A user may work on two projects, each of which have multiple
repositories, and use one user.email for one project while using another
for the other.

Setting $GIT_DIR/.config works, but if the penalty of forgetting to
update $GIT_DIR/.config is high (especially when you end up cloning
often), it may not be the best way to go. Having the settings in
~/.gitconfig, which would work for just one set of repositories, would
not well in such a situation. Having separate ${HOME}s may add more
problems than it solves.

Extend the include.path mechanism that lets a config file include
another config file, so that the inclusion can be done only when some
conditions hold. Then ~/.gitconfig can say "include config-project-A
only when working on project-A" for each project A the user works on.

In this patch, the only supported grouping is based on $GIT_DIR (in
absolute path), so you would need to group repositories by directory, or
something like that to take advantage of it.

We already have include.path for unconditional includes. This patch goes
with includeIf.<condition>.path to make it clearer that a condition is
required. The new config has the same backward compatibility approach as
include.path: older git versions that don't understand includeIf will
simply ignore them.

48f8d9f732 parse_config_key: allow matching single-level config
The parse_config_key() function was introduced to make it
easier to match "section.subsection.key" variables. It also
handles the simpler "section.key", and the caller is
responsible for distinguishing the two from its
out-parameters.

Most callers who _only_ want "section.key" would just use a
strcmp(var, "section.key"), since there is no parsing
required. However, they may still use parse_config_key() if
their "section" variable isn't a constant (an example of
this is in parse_hide_refs_config).

Using the parse_config_key is a bit clunky, though:

  const char *subsection;
  int subsection_len;
  const char *key;

  if (!parse_config_key(var, section, &subsection, &subsection_len, &key) &&
      !subsection) {
	  /* matched! */
  }

Instead, let's treat a NULL subsection as an indication that
the caller does not expect one. That lets us write:

  const char *key;

  if (!parse_config_key(var, section, NULL, NULL, &key)) {
	  /* matched! */
  }

Existing callers should be unaffected, as passing a NULL
subsection would currently segfault.

1274a155af config: use git_config_parse_key() in git_config_parse_parameter()
The parsing of one-shot assignments of configuration variables that
come from the command line historically was quite loose and allowed
anything to pass.  It also downcased everything in the variable name,
even a three-level <section>.<subsection>.<variable> name in which
the <subsection> part must be treated in a case sensitive manner.

Existing git_config_parse_key() helper is used to parse the variable
name that comes from the command line, i.e. "git config VAR VAL",
and handles these details correctly.  Replace the strbuf_tolower()
call in git_config_parse_parameter() with a call to it to correct
both issues.  git_config_parse_key() does a bit more things that are
not necessary for the purpose of this codepath (e.g. it allocates a
separate buffer to return the canonicalized variable name because it
takes a "const char *" input), but we are not in a performance-critical
codepath here.

341fb28621 refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = always
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).

However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than
the performance implications of keeping the log around.

This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

8de7eeb54b compression: unify pack.compression configuration parsing
There are three codepaths that use a variable whose name is
pack_compression_level to affect how objects and deltas sent to a
packfile is compressed.  Unlike zlib_compression_level that controls
the loose object compression, however, this variable was static to
each of these codepaths.  Two of them read the pack.compression
configuration variable, using core.compression as the default, and
one of them also allowed overriding it from the command line.

The other codepath in bulk-checkin did not pay any attention to the
configuration.

Unify the configuration parsing to git_default_config(), where we
implement the parsing of core.loosecompression and core.compression
and make the former override the latter, by moving code to parse
pack.compression and also allow core.compression to give default to
this variable.

5b33cb1fd7 get_short_sha1: make default disambiguation configurable
When we find ambiguous short sha1s, we may get a
disambiguation rule from our caller's context. But if we
don't, we fall back to treating all sha1s the same, even
though most projects will tend to refer only to commits by
their short sha1s.

This patch introduces a configuration option that lets the
user pick a different fallback (e.g., only commits). It's
possible that we may want to make this the default, but it's
a good idea to start as a config option for two reasons:

  1. It lets people experiment with this and see if it's a
     good idea (i.e., the "tend to" above is an assumption;
     we don't really know if this will break some obscure
     cases).

  2. Even if we do flip the default, it gives people an
     escape hatch if it causes problems (you can sometimes
     override it by asking for "1234^{tree}", but not all
     combinations are possible).

d845d727cb Merge branch 'jk/setup-sequence-update'
There were numerous corner cases in which the configuration files
are read and used or not read at all depending on the directory a
Git command was run, leading to inconsistent behaviour.  The code
to set-up repository access at the beginning of a Git process has
been updated to fix them.

* jk/setup-sequence-update:
  t1007: factor out repeated setup
  init: reset cached config when entering new repo
  init: expand comments explaining config trickery
  config: only read .git/config from configured repos

  pager: use callbacks instead of configset
  pager: make pager_program a file-local static
  pager: stop loading git_default_config()

b9605bc4f2 config: only read .git/config from configured repos
When git_config() runs, it looks in the system, user-wide,
and repo-level config files. It gets the latter by calling
git_pathdup(), which in turn calls get_git_dir(). If we
haven't set up the git repository yet, this may simply
return ".git", and we will look at ".git/config".  This
seems like it would be helpful (presumably we haven't set up
the repository yet, so it tries to find it), but it turns
out to be a bad idea for a few reasons:

  - it's not sufficient, and therefore hides bugs in a
    confusing way. Config will be respected if commands are
    run from the top-level of the working tree, but not from
    a subdirectory.

  - it's not always true that we haven't set up the
    repository _yet_; we may not want to do it at all. For
    instance, if you run "git init /some/path" from inside
    another repository, it should not load config from the
    existing repository.

  - there might be a path ".git/config", but it is not the
    actual repository we would find via setup_git_directory().
    This may happen, e.g., if you are storing a git
    repository inside another git repository, but have
    munged one of the files in such a way that the
    inner repository is not valid (e.g., by removing HEAD).

We have at least two bugs of the second type in git-init,
introduced by ae5f677 (lazily load core.sharedrepository,
2016-03-11). It causes init to use git_configset(), which
loads all of the config, including values from the current
repo (if any).  This shows up in two ways:

  1. If we happen to be in an existing repository directory,
     we'll read and respect core.sharedrepository from it,
     even though it should have no bearing on the new
     repository. A new test in t1301 covers this.

  2. Similarly, if we're in an existing repo that sets
     core.logallrefupdates, that will cause init to fail to
     set it in a newly created repository (because it thinks
     that the user's templates already did so). A new test
     in t0001 covers this.

We also need to adjust an existing test in t1302, which
gives another example of why this patch is an improvement.

That test creates an embedded repository with a bogus
core.repositoryformatversion of "99". It wants to make sure
that we actually stop at the bogus repo rather than
continuing upward to find the outer repo. So it checks that
"git config core.repositoryformatversion" returns 99. But
that only works because we blindly read ".git/config", even
though we _know_ we're in a repository whose vintage we do
not understand.

After this patch, we avoid reading config from the unknown
vintage repository at all, which is a safer choice.  But we
need to tweak the test, since core.repositoryformatversion
will not return 99; it will claim that it could not find the
variable at all.

4babb839aa pager: stop loading git_default_config()
In git_pager(), we really only care about getting the value
of core.pager. But to do so, we use the git_default_config()
callback, which loads many other values. Ordinarily it
isn't a big deal to load this config an extra time, as it
simply overwrites the values from the previous run. But it's
a bad idea here, for two reasons:

  1. The pager setup may be called very early in the
     program, before we have found the git repository. As a
     result, we may fail to read the correct repo-level
     config file.  This is a problem for core.pager, too,
     but we should at least try to minimize the pollution to
     other configured values.

  2. Because we call setup_pager() from git.c, basically
     every builtin command _may_ end up reading this config
     and getting an implicit git_default_config() setup.

     Which doesn't sound like a terrible thing, except that
     we don't do it consistently; it triggers only when
     stdout is a tty. So if a command forgets to load the
     default config itself (but depends on it anyway), it
     may appear to work, and then mysteriously fail when the
     pager is not in use.

We can improve this by loading _just_ the core.pager config
from git_pager().

1b8132d99d i18n: config: unfold error messages marked for translation
Introduced in 473166b ("config: add 'origin_type' to config_source
struct", 2016-02-19), Git can inform the user about the origin of a
config error, but the implementation does not allow translators to
translate the keywords 'file', 'blob, 'standard input', and
'submodule-blob'. Moreover, for the second message, a reason for the
error is appended to the message, not allowing translators to translate
that reason either.

Unfold the message into several templates for each known origin_type.
That would result in better translation at the expense of code
verbosity.

Add enum config_oringin_type to ease management of the various
configuration origin types (blob, file, etc).  Previously origin type
was considered from command line if cf->origin_type == NULL, i.e.,
uninitialized. Now we set origin_type to CONFIG_ORIGIN_CMDLINE in
git_config_from_parameters() and configset_add_value().

For error message in git_parse_source(), use xstrfmt() function to
prepare the message string, instead of doing something like it's done
for die_bad_number(), because intelligibility and code conciseness are
improved for that instance.

9acc591111 config: add a notion of "scope"
A config callback passed to git_config() doesn't know very
much about the context in which it sees a variable. It can
ask whether the variable comes from a file, and get the file
name. But without analyzing the filename (which is hard to
do accurately), it cannot tell whether it is in system-level
config, user-level config, or repo-specific config.

Generally this doesn't matter; the point of not passing this
to the callback is that it should treat the config the same
no matter where it comes from. But some programs, like
upload-pack, are a special case: we should be able to run
them in an untrusted repository, which means we cannot use
any "dangerous" config from the repository config file (but
it is OK to use it from system or user config).

This patch teaches the config code to record the "scope" of
each variable, and make it available inside config
callbacks, similar to how we give access to the filename.
The scope is the starting source for a particular parsing
operation, and remains the same even if we include other
files (so a .git/config which includes another file will
remain CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO, as it would be similarly
untrusted).
