"git interpret-trailers" and its underlying machinery had a buggy

which triggered in various codepaths that will always get the log
message alone and never get such an input.

1a7fd1fb29 fsck: detect submodule paths starting with dash
As with urls, submodule paths with dashes are ignored by
git, but may end up confusing older versions. Detecting them
via fsck lets us prevent modern versions of git from being a
vector to spread broken .gitmodules to older versions.

Compared to blocking leading-dash urls, though, this
detection may be less of a good idea:

  1. While such paths provide confusing and broken results,
     they don't seem to actually work as option injections
     against anything except "cd". In particular, the
     submodule code seems to canonicalize to an absolute
     path before running "git clone" (so it passes
     /your/clone/-sub).

  2. It's more likely that we may one day make such names
     actually work correctly. Even after we revert this fsck
     check, it will continue to be a hassle until hosting
     servers are all updated.

On the other hand, it's not entirely clear that the behavior
in older versions is safe. And if we do want to eventually
allow this, we may end up doing so with a special syntax
anyway (e.g., writing "./-sub" in the .gitmodules file, and
teaching the submodule code to canonicalize it when
comparing).

So on balance, this is probably a good protection.

a124133e1e fsck: detect submodule urls starting with dash
Urls with leading dashes can cause mischief on older
versions of Git. We should detect them so that they can be
rejected by receive.fsckObjects, preventing modern versions
of git from being a vector by which attacks can spread.

273c61496f submodule-config: ban submodule paths that start with a dash
We recently banned submodule urls that look like
command-line options. This is the matching change to ban
leading-dash paths.

As with the urls, this should not break any use cases that
currently work. Even with our "--" separator passed to
git-clone, git-submodule.sh gets confused. Without the code
portion of this patch, the clone of "-sub" added in t7417
would yield results like:

    /path/to/git-submodule: 410: cd: Illegal option -s
    /path/to/git-submodule: 417: cd: Illegal option -s
    /path/to/git-submodule: 410: cd: Illegal option -s
    /path/to/git-submodule: 417: cd: Illegal option -s
    Fetched in submodule path '-sub', but it did not contain b56243f8f4eb91b2f1f8109452e659f14dd3fbe4. Direct fetching of that commit failed.

Moreover, naively adding such a submodule doesn't work:

  $ git submodule add $url -sub
  The following path is ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
  -sub

even though there is no such ignore pattern (the test script
hacks around this with a well-placed "git mv").

Unlike leading-dash urls, though, it's possible that such a
path _could_ be useful if we eventually made it work. So
this commit should be seen not as recommending a particular
policy, but rather temporarily closing off a broken and
possibly dangerous code-path. We may revisit this decision
later.

There are two minor differences to the tests in t7416 (that
covered urls):

  1. We don't have a "./-sub" escape hatch to make this
     work, since the submodule code expects to be able to
     match canonical index names to the path field (so you
     are free to add submodule config with that path, but we
     would never actually use it, since an index entry would
     never start with "./").

  2. After this patch, cloning actually succeeds. Since we
     ignore the submodule.*.path value, we fail to find a
     config stanza for our submodule at all, and simply
     treat it as inactive. We still check for the "ignoring"
     message.

f6adec4e32 submodule-config: ban submodule urls that start with dash
The previous commit taught the submodule code to invoke our
"git clone $url $path" with a "--" separator so that we
aren't confused by urls or paths that start with dashes.

However, that's just one code path. It's not clear if there
are others, and it would be an easy mistake to add one in
the future. Moreover, even with the fix in the previous
commit, it's quite hard to actually do anything useful with
such an entry. Any url starting with a dash must fall into
one of three categories:

 - it's meant as a file url, like "-path". But then any
   clone is not going to have the matching path, since it's
   by definition relative inside the newly created clone. If
   you spell it as "./-path", the submodule code sees the
   "/" and translates this to an absolute path, so it at
   least works (assuming the receiver has the same
   filesystem layout as you). But that trick does not apply
   for a bare "-path".

 - it's meant as an ssh url, like "-host:path". But this
   already doesn't work, as we explicitly disallow ssh
   hostnames that begin with a dash (to avoid option
   injection against ssh).

 - it's a remote-helper scheme, like "-scheme::data". This
   _could_ work if the receiver bends over backwards and
   creates a funny-named helper like "git-remote--scheme".
   But normally there would not be any helper that matches.

Since such a url does not work today and is not likely to do
anything useful in the future, let's simply disallow them
entirely. That protects the existing "git clone" path (in a
belt-and-suspenders way), along with any others that might
exist.

Our tests cover two cases:

  1. A file url with "./" continues to work, showing that
     there's an escape hatch for people with truly silly
     repo names.

  2. A url starting with "-" is rejected.

Note that we expect case (2) to fail, but it would have done
so even without this commit, for the reasons given above.
So instead of just expecting failure, let's also check for
the magic word "ignoring" on stderr. That lets us know that
we failed for the right reason.

98afac7a7c submodule--helper: use "--" to signal end of clone options
When we clone a submodule, we call "git clone $url $path".
But there's nothing to say that those components can't begin
with a dash themselves, confusing git-clone into thinking
they're options. Let's pass "--" to make it clear what we
expect.

There's no test here, because it's actually quite hard to
make these names work, even with "git clone" parsing them
correctly. And we're going to restrict these cases even
further in future commits. So we'll leave off testing until
then; this is just the minimal fix to prevent us from doing
something stupid with a badly formed entry.

f178c13fda Revert "Merge branch 'sb/submodule-core-worktree'"
This reverts commit 7e25437d35, reversing
changes made to 00624d608c.

v2.19.0-rc0~165^2~1 (submodule: ensure core.worktree is set after
update, 2018-06-18) assumes an "absorbed" submodule layout, where the
submodule's Git directory is in the superproject's .git/modules/
directory and .git in the submodule worktree is a .git file pointing
there.  In particular, it uses $GIT_DIR/modules/$name to find the
submodule to find out whether it already has core.worktree set, and it
uses connect_work_tree_and_git_dir if not, resulting in

	fatal: could not open sub/.git for writing

The context behind that patch: v2.19.0-rc0~165^2~2 (submodule: unset
core.worktree if no working tree is present, 2018-06-12) unsets
core.worktree when running commands like "git checkout
--recurse-submodules" to switch to a branch without the submodule.  If
a user then uses "git checkout --no-recurse-submodules" to switch back
to a branch with the submodule and runs "git submodule update", this
patch is needed to ensure that commands using the submodule directly
are aware of the path to the worktree.

It is late in the release cycle, so revert the whole 3-patch series.
We can try again later for 2.20.

574c513e8d http-backend: allow empty CONTENT_LENGTH
According to RFC3875, empty environment variable is equivalent to unset,
and for CONTENT_LENGTH it should mean zero body to read.

However, unset CONTENT_LENGTH is also used for chunked encoding to indicate
reading until EOF. At least, the test "large fetch-pack requests can be split
across POSTs" from t5551 starts faliing, if unset or empty CONTENT_LENGTH is
treated as zero length body. So keep the existing behavior as much as possible.

Add a test for the case.

6c6ce21baa config.mak.uname: resolve FreeBSD iconv-related compilation warning
OLD_ICONV has long been needed by FreeBSD so config.mak.uname defines
it unconditionally. However, recent versions do not need it, and its
presence results in compilation warnings. Resolve this issue by defining
OLD_ICONV only for older FreeBSD versions.

Specifically, revision r281550[1], which is part of FreeBSD 11, removed
the need for OLD_ICONV, and r282275[2] back-ported that change to 10.2.
Versions prior to 10.2 do need it.

091f4cf358 commit: don't use generation numbers if not needed
In 3afc679b "commit: use generations in paint_down_to_common()",
the queue in paint_down_to_common() was changed to use a priority
order based on generation number before commit date. This served
two purposes:

 1. When generation numbers are present, the walk guarantees
    correct topological relationships, regardless of clock skew in
    commit dates.

 2. It enables short-circuiting the walk when the min_generation
    parameter is added in d7c1ec3e "commit: add short-circuit to
    paint_down_to_common()". This short-circuit helps commands
    like 'git branch --contains' from needing to walk to a merge
    base when we know the result is false.

The commit message for 3afc679b includes the following sentence:

    This change does not affect the number of commits that are
    walked during the execution of paint_down_to_common(), only
    the order that those commits are inspected.

This statement is incorrect. Because it changes the order in which
the commits are inspected, it changes the order they are added to
the queue, and hence can change the number of loops before the
queue_has_nonstale() method returns true.

This change makes a concrete difference depending on the topology
of the commit graph. For instance, computing the merge-base between
consecutive versions of the Linux kernel has no effect for versions
after v4.9, but 'git merge-base v4.8 v4.9' presents a performance
regression:

    v2.18.0: 0.122s
v2.19.0-rc1: 0.547s
       HEAD: 0.127s

To determine that this was simply an ordering issue, I inserted
a counter within the while loop of paint_down_to_common() and
found that the loop runs 167,468 times in v2.18.0 and 635,579
times in v2.19.0-rc1.

The topology of this case can be described in a simplified way
here:

  v4.9
   |  \
   |   \
  v4.8  \
   | \   \
   |  \   |
  ...  A  B
   |  /  /
   | /  /
   |/__/
   C

Here, the "..." means "a very long line of commits". By generation
number, A and B have generation one more than C. However, A and B
have commit date higher than most of the commits reachable from
v4.8. When the walk reaches v4.8, we realize that it has PARENT1
and PARENT2 flags, so everything it can reach is marked as STALE,
including A. B has only the PARENT1 flag, so is not STALE.

When paint_down_to_common() is run using
compare_commits_by_commit_date, A and B are removed from the queue
early and C is inserted into the queue. At this point, C and the
rest of the queue entries are marked as STALE. The loop then
terminates.

When paint_down_to_common() is run using
compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date, B is removed from the
queue only after the many commits reachable from v4.8 are explored.
This causes the loop to run longer. The reason for this regression
is simple: the queue order is intended to not explore a commit
until everything that _could_ reach that commit is explored. From
the information gathered by the original ordering, we have no
guarantee that there is not a commit D reachable from v4.8 that
can also reach B. We gained absolute correctness in exchange for
a performance regression.

The performance regression is probably the worse option, since
these incorrect results in paint_down_to_common() are rare. The
topology required for the performance regression are less rare,
but still require multiple merge commits where the parents differ
greatly in generation number. In our example above, the commit A
is as important as the commit B to demonstrate the problem, since
otherwise the commit C will sit in the queue as non-stale just as
long in both orders.

The solution provided uses the min_generation parameter to decide
if we should use generation numbers in our ordering. When
min_generation is equal to zero, it means that the caller has no
known cutoff for the walk, so we should rely on our commit-date
heuristic as before; this is the case with merge_bases_many().
When min_generation is non-zero, then the caller knows a valuable
cutoff for the short-circuit mechanism; this is the case with
remove_redundant() and in_merge_bases_many().

6aba117d5c am: avoid directory rename detection when calling recursive merge machinery
Let's say you have the following three trees, where Base is from one commit
behind either master or branch:

   Base  : bar_v1, foo/{file1, file2, file3}
   branch: bar_v2, foo/{file1, file2},       goo/file3
   master: bar_v3, foo/{file1, file2, file3}

Using git-am (or am-based rebase) to apply the changes from branch onto
master results in the following tree:

   Result: bar_merged, goo/{file1, file2, file3}

This is not what users want; they did not rename foo/ -> goo/, they only
renamed one file within that directory.  The reason this happens is am
constructs fake trees (via build_fake_ancestor()) of the following form:

   Base_bfa  : bar_v1, foo/file3
   branch_bfa: bar_v2, goo/file3

Combining these two trees with master's tree:

   master: bar_v3, foo/{file1, file2, file3},

You can see that merge_recursive_generic() would see branch_bfa as renaming
foo/ -> goo/, and master as just adding both foo/file1 and foo/file2.  As
such, it ends up with goo/{file1, file2, file3}

The core problem is that am does not have access to the original trees; it
can only construct trees using the blobs involved in the patch.  As such,
it is not safe to perform directory rename detection within am -3.

e7588c9652 t3401: add another directory rename testcase for rebase and am
Similar to commit 16346883ab ("t3401: add directory rename testcases for
rebase and am", 2018-06-27), add another testcase for directory rename
detection.  This new testcase differs in that it showcases a situation
where no directory rename was performed, but which some backends
incorrectly detect.

As with the other testcase, run this in conjunction with each of the
types of rebases:
  git-rebase--interactive
  git-rebase--am
  git-rebase--merge
and also use the same testcase for
  git am --3way

3042b6bb59 chainlint: match "quoted" here-doc tags
A here-doc tag can be quoted ('EOF'/"EOF") or escaped (\EOF) to suppress
interpolation within the body. chainlint recognizes single-quoted and
escaped tags, but does not know about double-quoted tags. For
completeness, teach it to recognize double-quoted tags, as well.

f6af6f9970 tests: fix non-portable iconv invocation
The iconv that comes with a FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p2 box I have access
to doesn't support the SHIFT-JIS encoding. Guard a test added in
e92d62253 ("convert: add round trip check based on
'core.checkRoundtripEncoding'", 2018-04-15) first released with Git
v2.18.0 with a prerequisite that checks for its availability.

The iconv command is in POSIX, and we have numerous tests
unconditionally relying on its ability to convert ASCII, UTF-8 and
UTF-16, but unconditionally relying on the presence of more obscure
encodings isn't portable.

de231e577b tests: fix non-portable "${var:-"str"}" construct
On both AIX 7200-00-01-1543 and FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p2 the
"${var:-"str"}" syntax means something different than what it does
under the bash or dash shells.

Both will consider the start of the new unescaped quotes to be a new
argument to test_expect_success, resulting in the following error:

    error: bug in the test script: 'git diff-tree initial # magic
    is (not' does not look like a prereq

Fix this by removing the redundant quotes. There's no need for them,
and the resulting code works under all the aforementioned shells. This
fixes a regression in c2f1d3989 ("t4013: test new output from diff
--abbrev --raw", 2017-12-03) first released with Git v2.16.0.
