e5ee33e855 rebase --continue: remove .git/MERGE_MSG
If the user skips the final commit by removing all the changes from
the index and worktree with 'git restore' (or read-tree) and then runs
'git rebase --continue' .git/MERGE_MSG is left behind. This will seed
the commit message the next time the user commits which is not what we
want to happen.

bed9b4e312 rebase --apply: restore some tests
980b482d28 ("rebase tests: mark tests specific to the am-backend with
--am", 2020-02-15) sought to prepare tests testing the "apply" backend
in preparation for 2ac0d6273f ("rebase: change the default backend
from "am" to "merge"", 2020-02-15). However some tests seem to have
been missed leading to us testing the "merge" backend twice. This
patch fixes some cases that I noticed while adding tests to these
files, I have not audited all the other rebase test files. I've
reworded a couple of the test descriptions to make it clear which
backend they are testing.

118ee5c613 t3403: fix commit authorship
Setting GIT_AUTHOR_* when committing with --amend will only change the
author if we also pass --reset-author.  This commit is used in some
tests that ensure the author ident does not change when rebasing.
Creating this commit without changing the authorship meant that the
test would not catch regressions that caused rebase to discard the
original authorship information.

46d723ce57 apply: keep buffer/size pair in sync when parsing binary hunks
We parse through binary hunks by looping through the buffer with code
like:

    llen = linelen(buffer, size);

    ...do something with the line...

    buffer += llen;
    size -= llen;

However, before we enter the loop, there is one call that increments
"buffer" but forgets to decrement "size". As a result, our "size" is off
by the length of that line, and subsequent calls to linelen() may look
past the end of the buffer for a newline.

The fix is easy: we just need to decrement size as we do elsewhere.

This bug goes all the way back to 0660626caf (binary diff: further
updates., 2006-05-05). Presumably nobody noticed because it only
triggers if the patch is corrupted, and even then we are often "saved"
by luck. We use a strbuf to store the incoming patch, so we overallocate
there, plus we add a 16-byte run of NULs as slop for memory comparisons.
So if this happened accidentally, the common case is that we'd just read
a few uninitialized bytes from the end of the strbuf before producing
the expected "this patch is corrupted" error complaint.

However, it is possible to carefully construct a case which reads off
the end of the buffer. The included test does so. It will pass both
before and after this patch when run normally, but using a tool like
ASan shows that we get an out-of-bounds read before this patch, but not
after.

c4d5907324 range-diff: use ssize_t for parsed "len" in read_patches()
As we iterate through the buffer containing git-log output, parsing
lines, we use an "int" to store the size of an individual line. This
should be a size_t, as we have no guarantee that there is not a
malicious 2GB+ commit-message line in the output.

Overflowing this integer probably doesn't do anything _too_ terrible. We
are not using the value to size a buffer, so the worst case is probably
an out-of-bounds read from before the array. But it's easy enough to
fix.

Note that we have to use ssize_t here, since we also store the length
result from parse_git_diff_header(), which may return a negative value
for error. That function actually returns an int itself, which has a
similar overflow problem, but I'll leave that for another day. Much
of the apply.c code uses ints and should be converted as a whole; in the
meantime, a negative return from parse_git_diff_header() will be
interpreted as an error, and we'll bail (so we can't handle such a case,
but given that it's likely to be malicious anyway, the important thing
is we don't have any memory errors).

7c86d365da range-diff: handle unterminated lines in read_patches()
When parsing our buffer of output from git-log, we have a
find_end_of_line() helper that finds the next newline, and gives us the
number of bytes to move past it, or the size of the whole remaining
buffer if there is no newline.

But trying to handle both those cases leads to some oddities:

  - we try to overwrite the newline with NUL in the caller, by writing
    over line[len-1]. This is at best redundant, since the helper will
    already have done so if it saw a newline. But if it didn't see a
    newline, it's actively wrong; we'll overwrite the byte at the end of
    the (unterminated) line.

    We could solve this just dropping the extra NUL assignment in the
    caller and just letting the helper do the right thing. But...

  - if we see a "diff --git" line, we'll restore the newline on top of
    the NUL byte, so we can pass the string to parse_git_diff_header().
    But if there was no newline in the first place, we can't do this.
    There's no place to put it (the current code writes a newline
    over whatever byte we obliterated earlier). The best we can do is
    feed the complete remainder of the buffer to the function (which is,
    in fact, a string, by virtue of being a strbuf).

To solve this, the caller needs to know whether we actually found a
newline or not. We could modify find_end_of_line() to return that
information, but we can further observe that it has only one caller.
So let's just inline it in that caller.

Nobody seems to have noticed this case, probably because git-log would
never produce input that doesn't end with a newline. Arguably we could
just return an error as soon as we see that the output does not end in a
newline. But the code to do so actually ends up _longer_, mostly because
of the cleanup we have to do in handling the error.

47ac23d314 range-diff: drop useless "offset" variable from read_patches()
The "offset" variable was was introduced in 44b67cb62b (range-diff:
split lines manually, 2019-07-11), but it has never done anything
useful. We use it to count up the number of bytes we've consumed, but we
never look at the result. It was probably copied accidentally from an
almost-identical loop in apply.c:find_header() (and the point of that
commit was to make use of the parse_git_diff_header() function which
underlies both).

Because the variable was set but not used, most compilers didn't seem to
notice, but the upcoming clang-14 does complain about it, via its
-Wunused-but-set-variable warning.

6a38e33331 Revert 'diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"'
This reverts commit f5bfcc823b, which
made "git log -m" imply "--patch" by default.  The logic was that
"-m", which makes diff generation for merges perform a diff against
each parent, has no use unless I am viewing the diff, so we could save
the user some typing by turning on display of the resulting diff
automatically.  That wasn't expected to adversely affect scripts
because scripts would either be using a command like "git diff-tree"
that already emits diffs by default or would be combining -m with a
diff generation option such as --name-status.  By saving typing for
interactive use without adversely affecting scripts in the wild, it
would be a pure improvement.

The problem is that although diff generation options are only relevant
for the displayed diff, a script author can imagine them affecting
path limiting.  For example, I might run

	git log -w --format=%H -- README

hoping to list commits that edited README, excluding whitespace-only
changes.  In fact, a whitespace-only change is not TREESAME so the use
of -w here has no effect (since we don't apply these diff generation
flags to the diff_options struct rev_info::pruning used for this
purpose), but the documentation suggests that it should work

	Suppose you specified foo as the <paths>. We shall call
	commits that modify foo !TREESAME, and the rest TREESAME. (In
	a diff filtered for foo, they look different and equal,
	respectively.)

and a script author who has not tested whitespace-only changes
wouldn't notice.

Similarly, a script author could include

	git log -m --first-parent --format=%H -- README

to filter the first-parent history for commits that modified README.
The -m is a no-op but it reflects the script author's intent.  For
example, until 1e20a407fe (stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git
log", 2021-05-21), "git stash list" did this.

As a result, we can't safely change "-m" to imply "-p" without fear of
breaking such scripts.  Restore the previous behavior.

Noticed because Rust's src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py made use of this
same construct: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87513.  That
script has been updated to omit the unnecessary "-m" option, but we
can expect other scripts in the wild to have similar expectations.

6320813bc0 git-rebase.txt: correct out-of-date and misleading text about renames
Commit 58634dbff8 ("rebase: Allow merge strategies to be used when
rebasing", 2006-06-21) added the --merge option to git-rebase so that
renames could be detected (at least when using the `recursive` merge
backend).  However, git-am -3 gained that same ability in commit
579c9bb198 ("Use merge-recursive in git-am -3.", 2006-12-28).  As such,
the comment about being able to detect renames is not particularly
noteworthy.  Remove it.

4d15c85556 merge-strategies.txt: avoid giving special preference to patience algorithm
We already have diff-algorithm that explains why there are special diff
algorithms, so we do not need to re-explain patience.  patience exists
as its own toplevel option for historical reasons, but there's no reason
to give it special preference or document it again and suggest it's more
important than other diff algorithms, so just refer to it as a
deprecated shorthand for `diff-algorithm=patience`.

002a6dfc7c merge-strategies.txt: do not imply using copy detection is desired
Stating that the recursive strategy "currently cannot make use of
detected copies" implies that this is a technical shortcoming of the
current algorithm.  I disagree with that.  I don't see how copies could
possibly be used in a sane fashion in a merge algorithm -- would we
propagate changes in one file on one side of history to each copy of
that file when merging?  That makes no sense to me.  I cannot think of
anything else that would make sense either.  Change the wording to
simply state that we ignore any copies.

510415ecc9 merge-strategies.txt: update wording for the resolve strategy
It is probably helpful to cover the default merge strategy first, so
move the text for the resolve strategy to later in the document.

Further, the wording for "resolve" claimed that it was "considered
generally safe and fast", which might imply in some readers minds that
the same is not true of other strategies.  Rather than adding this text
to all the strategies, just remove it from this one.
