90ff12a860 run-command.c: fix build warnings on Ubuntu
Building git on Ubuntu 9.10 warns that the return value of write(2)
isn't checked. These warnings were introduced in commits:

  2b541bf8 ("start_command: detect execvp failures early")
  a5487ddf ("start_command: report child process setup errors to the
parent's stderr")

GCC details:

  $ gcc --version
  gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) 4.4.1

Silence the warnings by reading (but not making use of) the return value
of write(2).

9be3614eff gitweb: Fix project-specific feature override behavior
This commit fixes a bug in processing project-specific override in
a situation when there is no project, e.g. for the projects list page.

When 'snapshot' feature had project specific config override enabled
by putting
  $feature{'snapshot'}{'override'} = 1;

(or equivalent) in $GITWEB_CONFIG, and when viewing toplevel gitweb
page, which means the projects list page (to be more exact this
happens for any project-less action), gitweb would put the following
Perl warnings in error log:

  gitweb.cgi: Use of uninitialized value $git_dir in concatenation (.) or string at gitweb.cgi line 2065.
  fatal: error processing config file(s)
  gitweb.cgi: Use of uninitialized value $git_dir in concatenation (.) or string at gitweb.cgi line 2221.
  gitweb.cgi: Use of uninitialized value $git_dir in concatenation (.) or string at gitweb.cgi line 2218.

The problem is in the following fragment of code:

  # path to the current git repository
  our $git_dir;
  $git_dir = "$projectroot/$project" if $project;

  # list of supported snapshot formats
  our @snapshot_fmts = gitweb_get_feature('snapshot');
  @snapshot_fmts = filter_snapshot_fmts(@snapshot_fmts);

For the toplevel gitweb page, which is the list of projects, $project is not
defined, therefore neither is $git_dir.  gitweb_get_feature() subroutine
calls git_get_project_config() if project specific override is turned
on... but we don't have project here.

Those errors mentioned above occur in the following fragment of code in
git_get_project_config():

  	# get config
  	if (!defined $config_file ||
  	    $config_file ne "$git_dir/config") {
  		%config = git_parse_project_config('gitweb');
  		$config_file = "$git_dir/config";
  	}

git_parse_project_config() calls git_cmd() which has '--git-dir='.$git_dir

There are (at least) three possible solutions:
1. Harden gitweb_get_feature() so that it doesn't call
   git_get_project_config() if $project (and therefore $git_dir) is not
   defined; there is no project for project specific config.
2. Harden git_get_project_config() like you did in your fix, returning early
   if $git_dir is not defined.
3. Harden git_cmd() so that it doesn't add "--git-dir=$git_dir" if $git_dir
   is not defined, and change git_get_project_config() so that it doesn't
   even try to access $git_dir if it is not defined.

This commit implements both 1.) and 2.), i.e. gitweb_get_feature() doesn't
call project-specific override if $git_dir is not defined (if there is no
project), and git_get_project_config() returns early if $git_dir is not
defined.

Add a test for this bug to t/t9500-gitweb-standalone-no-errors.sh test.

8f69f72fca bisect: error out when passing bad path parameters
As reported by Mark Lodato, "git bisect", when it was started with
path parameters that match no commit was kind of working without
taking account of path parameters and was reporting something like:

Bisecting: -1 revisions left to test after this (roughly 0 steps)

It is more correct and safer to just error out in this case, before
displaying the revisions left, so this patch does just that.

Note that this bug is very old, it exists at least since v1.5.5.
And it is possible to detect that case earlier in the bisect
algorithm, but it is not clear that it would be an improvement to
error out earlier, on the contrary it may change the behavior of
"git rev-list --bisect-all" for example, which is currently correct.

74ae14199d submodules: ensure clean environment when operating in a submodule
git-submodule used to take care of clearing GIT_DIR whenever it operated
on a submodule index or configuration, but forgot to unset GIT_WORK_TREE
or other repo-local variables. This would lead to failures e.g. when
GIT_WORK_TREE was set.

This only happened in very unusual contexts such as operating on the
main worktree from outside of it, but since "git-gui: set GIT_DIR and
GIT_WORK_TREE after setup" (a9fa11fe5b) such failures could also
be provoked by invoking an external tool such as "git submodule update"
from the Git Gui in a standard setup.

Solve by using the newly introduced clear_local_git_env() shell function
to ensure that all repo-local environment variables are unset.

e6cc51046f fetch --all/--multiple: keep all the fetched branch information
Since "git fetch" learned "--all" and "--multiple" options, it has become
tempting for users to say "git pull --all".  Even though it may fetch from
remotes that do not need to be fetched from for merging with the current
branch, it is handy.

"git fetch" however clears the list of fetched branches every time it
contacts a different remote.  Unless the current branch is configured to
merge with a branch from a remote that happens to be the last in the list
of remotes that are contacted, "git pull" that fetches from multiple
remotes will not be able to find the branch it should be merging with.

Make "fetch" clear FETCH_HEAD (unless --append is given) and then append
the list of branches fetched to it (even when --append is not given).  That
way, "pull" will be able to find the data for the branch being merged in
FETCH_HEAD no matter where the remote appears in the list of remotes to be
contacted by "git fetch".

All of these tests were bogus, as they created new directory and tried to

with the repository in $TEST_DIRECTORY.

While fixing it, modernize the style not to chdir around outside of
subshell.  Otherwise a failed test will take us to an unexpected directory
and we need to chdir back to the test directory in each test, which is

e1327ed5fb add-interactive: fix bogus diff header line ordering
When we look at a patch for adding hunks interactively, we
first split it into a header and a list of hunks. Some of
the header lines, such as mode changes and deletion, however,
become their own selectable hunks. Later when we reassemble
the patch, we simply concatenate the header and the selected
hunks. This leads to patches like this:

  diff --git a/file b/file
  index d95f3ad..0000000
  --- a/file
  +++ /dev/null
  deleted file mode 100644
  @@ -1 +0,0 @@
  -content

Notice how the deletion comes _after_ the ---/+++ lines,
when it should come before.

In many cases, we can get away with this as git-apply
accepts the slightly bogus input. However, in the specific
case of a deletion line that is being applied via "apply
-R", this malformed patch triggers an assert in git-apply.
This comes up when discarding a deletion via "git checkout
-p".

Rather than try to make git-apply accept our odd input,
let's just reassemble the patch in the correct order.

When reaching the end of git_mkstemps_mode, at least one call to open()
has been done, and errno has been set accordingly. Setting errno is
therefore not necessary, and actually harmfull since callers can't
distinguish e.g. permanent failure from ENOENT, which can just mean that
we need to create the containing directory.

f80c7ae8fe Use git_mkstemp_mode and xmkstemp_mode in odb_mkstemp, not chmod later.
We used to create 0600 files, and then use chmod to set the group and
other permission bits to the umask. This usually has the same effect
as a normal file creation with a umask.

But in the presence of ACLs, the group permission plays the role of
the ACL mask: the "g" bits of newly created files are chosen according
to default ACL mask of the directory, not according to the umask, and
doing a chmod() on these "g" bits affect the ACL's mask instead of
actual group permission.

In other words, creating files with 0600 and then doing a chmod to the
umask creates files which are unreadable by users allowed in the
default ACL. To create the files without breaking ACLs, we let the
umask do it's job at the file's creation time, and get rid of the
later chmod.

repositories when the user has a umask of 077, even when the default
ACLs for the directory would give read/write access to a specific
user.

Loose object files are created world-readable, which doesn't break ACLs,
but isn't necessarily desirable.

8c33b4cf67 tests: Fix race condition in t7006-pager
Pagers that do not consume their input are dangerous: for example,

 $ GIT_PAGER=: git log
 $ echo $?
 141
 $

The only reason these tests were able to work before was that
'git log' would write to the pipe (and not fill it) before the
pager had time to terminate and close the pipe.

Fix it by using a program that consumes its input, namely wc (as
suggested by Johannes).

748af44c63 sha1_file: be paranoid when creating loose objects
We don't want the data being deflated and stored into loose objects
to be different from what we expect.  While the deflated data is
protected by a CRC which is good enough for safe data retrieval
operations, we still want to be doubly sure that the source data used
at object creation time is still what we expected once that data has
been deflated and its CRC32 computed.

The most plausible data corruption may occur if the source file is
modified while Git is deflating and writing it out in a loose object.
Or Git itself could have a bug causing memory corruption.  Or even bad
RAM could cause trouble.  So it is best to make sure everything is
coherent and checksum protected from beginning to end.

To do so we compute the SHA1 of the data being deflated _after_ the
deflate operation has consumed that data, and make sure it matches
with the expected SHA1.  This way we can rely on the CRC32 checked by
the inflate operation to provide a good indication that the data is still
coherent with its SHA1 hash.  One pathological case we ignore is when
the data is modified before (or during) deflate call, but changed back
before it is hashed.

There is some overhead of course. Using 'git add' on a set of large files:

Before:

	real    0m25.210s
	user    0m23.783s
	sys     0m1.408s

After:

	real    0m26.537s
	user    0m25.175s
	sys     0m1.358s

The overhead is around 5% for full data coherency guarantee.
