1ea4d9b7c8 submodule--helper: do not borrow absolute_path() result for too long
absolute_path() is designed to allow its callers to take a brief
peek of the result (typically, to be fed to functions like
strbuf_add() and relative_path() as a parameter) without having to
worry about freeing it, but the other side of the coin of that
memory model is that the caller shouldn't rely too much on the
result living forever--there may be a helper function the caller
subsequently calls that makes its own call to absolute_path(),
invalidating the earlier result.

Use xstrdup() to make our own copy, and free(3) it when we are done.
While at it, remove an unnecessary sm_gitdir_rel variable that was
only used to as a parameter to call absolute_path() and never used
again.

f8eaa0ba98 submodule--helper, module_clone: always operate on absolute paths
When giving relative paths to `relative_path` to compute a relative path
from one directory to another, this may fail in `relative_path`.
Make sure both arguments to `relative_path` are always absolute.

f5ff5fb564 bundle: don't leak an fd in case of early return
In successful operation `write_pack_data` will close the `bundle_fd`,
but when we exit early, we need to take care of the file descriptor
as well as the lock file ourselves. The lock file may be deleted at the
end of running the program, but we are in library code, so we should
not rely on that.

7a6a44c2dc builtin/apply: free patch when parse_chunk() fails
When parse_chunk() fails it can return -1, for example
when find_header() doesn't find a patch header.

In this case it's better in apply_patch() to free the
"struct patch" that we just allocated instead of
leaking it.

484e776158 builtin/apply: handle parse_binary() failure
In parse_binary() there is:

	forward = parse_binary_hunk(&buffer, &size, &status, &used);
	if (!forward && !status)
		/* there has to be one hunk (forward hunk) */
		return error(_("unrecognized binary patch at line %d"), linenr-1);

so parse_binary() can return -1, because that's what error() returns.

Also parse_binary_hunk() sets "status" to -1 in case of error and
parse_binary() does "if (status) return status;".

In this case parse_chunk() should not add -1 to the patchsize it computes.
It is better for future libification efforts to make it just return -1.

3fea121df3 recursive submodules: test for relative paths
"git submodule update --init --recursive" uses full path to refer to
the true location of the repository in the "gitdir:" pointer for
nested submodules; the command used to use relative paths.

This was reported by Norio Nomura in $gmane/290280.

The root cause for that bug is in using recursive submodules as
their relative path handling was broken in ee8838d (2015-09-08,

c6777563cd git-send-pack: fix --all option when used with directory
When using git send-pack with --all option
and a target repository specification ([<host>:]<directory>),
usage message is being displayed instead of performing
the actual transmission.

The reason for this issue is that destination and refspecs are being set
in the same conditional and are populated from argv. When a target
repository is passed, refspecs is being populated as well with its value.
This makes the check for refspecs not being NULL to always return true,
which, in conjunction with the check for --all or --mirror options,
is always true as well and returns usage message instead of proceeding.

This ensures that send-pack will stop execution only when --all
or --mirror switch is used in conjunction with any refspecs passed.

ca4e3ca029 diffcore: fix iteration order of identical files during rename detection
If the two paths 'dir/A/file' and 'dir/B/file' have identical content
and the parent directory is renamed, e.g. 'git mv dir other-dir', then
diffcore reports the following exact renames:

    renamed:    dir/B/file -> other-dir/A/file
    renamed:    dir/A/file -> other-dir/B/file

While technically not wrong, this is confusing not only for the user,
but also for git commands that make decisions based on rename
information, e.g. 'git log --follow other-dir/A/file' follows
'dir/B/file' past the rename.

This behavior is a side effect of commit v2.0.0-rc4~8^2~14
(diffcore-rename.c: simplify finding exact renames, 2013-11-14): the
hashmap storing sources returns entries from the same bucket, i.e.
sources matching the current destination, in LIFO order.  Thus the
iteration first examines 'other-dir/A/file' and 'dir/B/file' and, upon
finding identical content and basename, reports an exact rename.

Other hashmap users are apparently happy with the current iteration
order over the entries of a bucket.  Changing the iteration order
would risk upsetting other hashmap users and would increase the memory
footprint of each bucket by a pointer to the tail element.

Fill the hashmap with source entries in reverse order to restore the
original exact rename detection behavior.

c1e06d11c7 submodule update: test recursive path reporting from subdirectory
This patch is just a test and fixes no bug as there is currently no bug
in the path handling of `submodule update`.

In `submodule update` we make a call to `submodule--helper list --prefix
"$wt_prefix"` which looks a bit brittle and likely to introduce a bug
for the path handling. It is not a bug as the prefix is ignored inside
the submodule helper for now. If this test breaks eventually, we want
to make sure the `wt_prefix` is passed correctly into recursive submodules.
Hint: In recursive submodules we expect `wt_prefix` to be empty.

The path code in question:
  displaypath=$(relative_path "$prefix$sm_path")
  prefix=$displaypath
  if recursive:
    eval cmd_status

That way we change `prefix` each iteration to contain another
'../', because of the the relative_path computation is done
on an already computed relative path.

We must call relative_path exactly once with `wt_prefix` non empty.
Further calls in recursive instances to to calculate the displaypath
already incorporate the correct prefix from before. Fix the issue by
clearing `wt_prefix` in recursive calls.

c1ab00fb26 submodule update --init: correct path handling in recursive submodules
When calling `git submodule init` from a recursive instance of
`git submodule update --recursive`, the reported path is wrong as it
skips the nested submodules.

The new test demonstrates a failure in the code prior to this patch.
Instead of getting the expected
    Submodule 'submodule' (${pwd}/submodule) registered for path '../super/submodule'
the `super` directory is omitted and you get
    Submodule 'submodule' (${pwd}/submodule) registered for path '../submodule'
instead.

ea2fa1040d submodule foreach: correct path display in recursive submodules
The `prefix` was put in front of the display path unconditionally.
This is wrong as any relative path computation would need to be at
the front, so include the prefix into the display path.

The new test replicates the previous test with the difference of executing
from a sub directory. By executing from a sub directory all we would
expect all displayed paths to be prefixed by '../'.

Prior to this patch the test would report
    Entering 'nested1/nested2/../nested3'
instead of the expected
    Entering '../nested1/nested2/nested3'

"git log --pretty={medium,full,fuller}" and "git log" by default
prepend 4 spaces to the log message, so it makes sense to enable
the new "expand-tabs" facility by default for these formats.
Add --no-expand-tabs option to override the new default.

The change alone breaks a test in t4201 that runs "git shortlog"
on the output from "git log", and expects that the output from
"git log" does not do such a tab expansion.  Adjust the test to
explicitly disable expand-tabs with --no-expand-tabs.

7cc13c717b pretty: expand tabs in indented logs to make things line up properly
A commit log message sometimes tries to line things up using tabs,
assuming fixed-width font with the standard 8-place tab settings.
Viewing such a commit however does not work well in "git log", as
we indent the lines by prefixing 4 spaces in front of them.

This should all line up:

  Column 1	Column 2
  --------	--------
  A		B
  ABCD		EFGH
  SPACES        Instead of Tabs

Even with multi-byte UTF8 characters:

  Column 1	Column 2
  --------	--------
  Ä		B
  åäö		100
  A Møøse	once bit my sister..

Tab-expand the lines in "git log --expand-tabs" output before
prefixing 4 spaces.

This is based on the patch by Linus Torvalds, but at this step, we
require an explicit command line option to enable the behaviour.

01d98e8a5d submodule-config: use hashmap_iter_first()
The hashmap API provides hashmap_iter_first() helper for initialion
and getting the first entry of a hashmap. Let's use it instead of
doing initialization manually and then get the first entry.

There are no functional changes, just cleanup.

e379fdf34f merge: refuse to create too cool a merge by default
While it makes sense to allow merging unrelated histories of two
projects that started independently into one, in the way "gitk" was
merged to "git" itself aka "the coolest merge ever", such a merge is
still an unusual event.	 Worse, if somebody creates an independent
history by starting from a tarball of an established project and
sends a pull request to the original project, "git merge" however
happily creates such a merge without any sign of something unusual
is happening.

Teach "git merge" to refuse to create such a merge by default,
unless the user passes a new "--allow-unrelated-histories" option to
tell it that the user is aware that two unrelated projects are
merged.

Because such a "two project merge" is a rare event, a configuration
option to always allow such a merge is not added.

We could add the same option to "git pull" and have it passed
through to underlying "git merge".  I do not have a fundamental
opposition against such a feature, but this commit does not do so
and instead leaves it as low-hanging fruit for others, because such
a "two project merge" would be done after fetching the other project
into some location in the working tree of an existing project and
making sure how well they fit together, it is sufficient to allow a
local merge without such an option pass-through from "git pull" to
"git merge".  Many tests that are updated by this patch does the
pass-through manually by turning:

	git pull something

into its equivalent:

	git fetch something &&
	git merge --allow-unrelated-histories FETCH_HEAD

If somebody is inclined to add such an option, updated tests in this
change need to be adjusted back to:

	git pull --allow-unrelated-histories something

b84e65d409 merge: fix NULL pointer dereference when merging nothing into void
When we are on an unborn branch and merging only one foreign parent,
we allow "git merge" to fast-forward to that foreign parent commit.

This codepath incorrectly attempted to dereference the list of
parents that the merge is going to record even when the list is
empty.  It must refuse to operate instead when there is no parent.

All other codepaths make sure the list is not empty before they
dereference it, and are safe.
