954932667d Merge branch 'ab/dynamic-gettext-poison'
Our testing framework uses a special i18n "poisoned localization"
feature to find messages that ought to stay constant but are
incorrectly marked to be translated.  This feature has been made
into a runtime option (it used to be a compile-time option).

c9d6c78870 read-cache: make the split index obey umask settings
Make the split index write out its .git/sharedindex_* files with the
same permissions as .git/index. This only changes the behavior when
core.sharedRepository isn't set, i.e. the user's umask settings will
be respected.

This hasn't been the case ever since the split index was originally
implemented in c18b80a0e8 ("update-index: new options to
enable/disable split index mode", 2014-06-13). A mkstemp()-like
function has always been used to create it. First mkstemp() itself,
and then later our own mkstemp()-like in
f6ecc62dbf ("write_shared_index(): use tempfile module", 2015-08-10)

A related bug was fixed in df801f3f9f ("read-cache: use shared perms
when writing shared index", 2017-06-25). Since then the split index
has respected core.sharedRepository.

However, using that setting should not be required simply to make git
obey the user's umask setting. It's intended for the use-case of
overriding whatever that umask is set to. This fixes cases where the
user has e.g. set his umask to 022 on a shared server in anticipation
of other user's needing to run "status", "log" etc. in his repository.

3bc2111fc2 stash: tolerate missing user identity
The "git stash" command insists on having a usable user identity to
the same degree as the "git commit-tree" and "git commit" commands
do, because it uses the same codepath that creates commit objects
as these commands.

It is not strictly necesary to do so. Check if we will barf before
creating commit objects and then supply fake identity to please the
machinery that creates commits.
Add test to document that stash executes correctly both with and
without valid ident.

This is not that much of usability improvement, as the users who run
"git stash" would eventually want to record their changes that are
temporarily stored in the stashes in a more permanent history by
committing, and they must do "git config user.{name,email}" at that
point anyway, so arguably this change is only delaying a step that
is necessary to work in the repository.

a965bb3116 fast-export: add a --show-original-ids option to show original names
Knowing the original names (hashes) of commits can sometimes enable
post-filtering that would otherwise be difficult or impossible.  In
particular, the desire to rewrite commit messages which refer to other
prior commits (on top of whatever other filtering is being done) is
very difficult without knowing the original names of each commit.

In addition, knowing the original names (hashes) of blobs can allow
filtering by blob-id without requiring re-hashing the content of the
blob, and is thus useful as a small optimization.

Once we add original ids for both commits and blobs, we may as well
add them for tags too for completeness.  Perhaps someone will have a
use for them.

This commit teaches a new --show-original-ids option to fast-export
which will make it add a 'original-oid <hash>' line to blob, commits,
and tags.  It also teaches fast-import to parse (and ignore) such
lines.

530ca19c02 fast-export: add --reference-excluded-parents option
git filter-branch has a nifty feature allowing you to rewrite, e.g. just
the last 8 commits of a linear history
  git filter-branch $OPTIONS HEAD~8..HEAD

If you try the same with git fast-export, you instead get a history of
only 8 commits, with HEAD~7 being rewritten into a root commit.  There
are two alternatives:

  1) Don't use the negative revision specification, and when you're
     filtering the output to make modifications to the last 8 commits,
     just be careful to not modify any earlier commits somehow.

  2) First run 'git fast-export --export-marks=somefile HEAD~8', then
     run 'git fast-export --import-marks=somefile HEAD~8..HEAD'.

Both are more error prone than I'd like (the first for obvious reasons;
with the second option I have sometimes accidentally included too many
revisions in the first command and then found that the corresponding
extra revisions were not exported by the second command and thus were
not modified as I expected).  Also, both are poor from a performance
perspective.

Add a new --reference-excluded-parents option which will cause
fast-export to refer to commits outside the specified rev-list-args
range by their sha1sum.  Such a stream will only be useful in a
repository which already contains the necessary commits (much like the
restriction imposed when using --no-data).

Note from Peff:
  I think we might be able to do a little more optimization here. If
  we're exporting HEAD^..HEAD and there's an object in HEAD^ which is
  unchanged in HEAD, I think we'd still print it (because it would not
  be marked SHOWN), but we could omit it (by walking the tree of the
  boundary commits and marking them shown).  I don't think it's a
  blocker for what you're doing here, but just a possible future
  optimization.

fdf31b6369 fast-export: ensure we export requested refs
If file paths are specified to fast-export and a ref points to a commit
that does not touch any of the relevant paths, then that ref would
sometimes fail to be exported.  (This depends on whether any ancestors
of the commit which do touch the relevant paths would be exported with
that same ref name or a different ref name.)  To avoid this problem,
put *all* specified refs into extra_refs to start, and then as we export
each commit, remove the refname used in the 'commit $REFNAME' directive
from extra_refs.  Then, in handle_tags_and_duplicates() we know which
refs actually do need a manual reset directive in order to be included.

This means that we do need some special handling for excluded refs; e.g.
if someone runs
   git fast-export ^master master
then they've asked for master to be exported, but they have also asked
for the commit which master points to and all of its history to be
excluded.  That logically means ref deletion.  Previously, such refs
were just silently omitted from being exported despite having been
explicitly requested for export.

cd13762d8f fast-export: when using paths, avoid corrupt stream with non-existent mark
If file paths are specified to fast-export and multiple refs point to a
commit that does not touch any of the relevant file paths, then
fast-export can hit problems.  fast-export has a list of additional refs
that it needs to explicitly set after exporting all blobs and commits,
and when it tries to get_object_mark() on the relevant commit, it can
get a mark of 0, i.e. "not found", because the commit in question did
not touch the relevant paths and thus was not exported.  Trying to
import a stream with a mark corresponding to an unexported object will
cause fast-import to crash.

Avoid this problem by taking the commit the ref points to and finding an
ancestor of it that was exported, and make the ref point to that commit
instead.

1f30c904b3 fast-export: avoid dying when filtering by paths and old tags exist
If --tag-of-filtered-object=rewrite is specified along with a set of
paths to limit what is exported, then any tags pointing to old commits
that do not contain any of those specified paths cause problems.  Since
the old tagged commit is not exported, fast-export attempts to rewrite
such tags to an ancestor commit which was exported.  If no such commit
exists, then fast-export currently die()s.  Five years after the tag
rewriting logic was added to fast-export (see commit 2d8ad46919,
"fast-export: Add a --tag-of-filtered-object  option for newly dangling
tags", 2009-06-25), fast-import gained the ability to delete refs (see
commit 4ee1b225b9, "fast-import: add support to delete refs",
2014-04-20), so now we do have a valid option to rewrite the tag to.
Delete these tags instead of dying.

2c8ee1f53c bundle: dup() output descriptor closer to point-of-use
When writing a bundle to a file, the bundle code actually creates
"your.bundle.lock" using our lockfile interface. We feed that output
descriptor to a child git-pack-objects via run-command, which has the
quirk that it closes the output descriptor in the parent.

To avoid confusing the lockfile code (which still thinks the descriptor
is valid), we dup() it, and operate on the duplicate.

However, this has a confusing side effect: after the dup() but before we
call pack-objects, we have _two_ descriptors open to the lockfile. If we
call die() during that time, the lockfile code will try to clean up the
partially-written file. It knows to close() the file before unlinking,
since on some platforms (i.e., Windows) the open file would block the
deletion. But it doesn't know about the duplicate descriptor. On
Windows, triggering an error at the right part of the code will result
in the cleanup failing and the lockfile being left in the filesystem.

We can solve this by moving the dup() much closer to start_command(),
shrinking the window in which we have the second descriptor open. It's
easy to place this in such a way that no die() is possible. We could
still die due to a signal in the exact wrong moment, but we already
tolerate races there (e.g., a signal could come before we manage to put
the file on the cleanup list in the first place).

As a bonus, this shields create_bundle() itself from the duplicate-fd
trick, and we can simplify its error handling (note that the lock
rollback now happens unconditionally, but that's OK; it's a noop if we
didn't open the lock in the first place).

The included test uses an empty bundle to cause a failure at the right
spot in the code, because that's easy to trigger (the other likely
errors are write() problems like ENOSPC).  Note that it would already
pass on non-Windows systems (because they are happy to unlink an
already-open file).

62c23938fa tests: add a special setup where rebase.useBuiltin is off
Add a GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN=false test mode which is equivalent
to running with rebase.useBuiltin=false. This is needed to spot that
we're not introducing any regressions in the legacy rebase version
while we're carrying both it and the new builtin version.

d8d0a546f0 rebase doc: document rebase.useBuiltin
The rebase.useBuiltin variable introduced in 55071ea248 ("rebase:
start implementing it as a builtin", 2018-08-07) was turned on by
default in 5541bd5b8f ("rebase: default to using the builtin rebase",
2018-08-08), but had no documentation.

Let's document it so that users who run into any stability issues with
the C rewrite know there's an escape hatch[1], and make it clear that
needing to turn off builtin rebase means you've found a bug in git.

927c77e7d4 Makefile: use FUZZ_CXXFLAGS for linking fuzzers
OSS-Fuzz requires C++-specific flags to link fuzzers. Passing these in
CFLAGS causes lots of build warnings. Using separate FUZZ_CXXFLAGS
avoids this.

8abfdf44c8 tests: explicitly use git.exe on Windows
On Windows, when we refer to `/an/absolute/path/to/git`, it magically
resolves `git.exe` at that location. Except if something of the name
`git` exists next to that `git.exe`. So if we call `$BUILD_DIR/git`, it
will find `$BUILD_DIR/git.exe` *only* if there is not, say, a directory
called `$BUILD_DIR/git`.

Such a directory, however, exists in Git for Windows when building with
Visual Studio (our Visual Studio project generator defaults to putting
the build files into a directory whose name is the base name of the
corresponding `.exe`).

In the bin-wrappers/* scripts, we already take pains to use `git.exe`
rather than `git`, as this could pick up the wrong thing on Windows
(i.e. if there exists a `git` file or directory in the build directory).

Now we do the same in the tests' start-up code.

This also helps when testing an installed Git, as there might be even
more likely some stray file or directory in the way.

Note: the only way we can record whether the `.exe` suffix is by writing
it to the `GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS` file and sourcing it at the beginning of
`t/test-lib.sh`. This is not a requirement introduced by this patch, but
we move the call to be able to use the `$X` variable that holds the file
extension, if any.

Note also: the many, many calls to `git this` and `git that` are
unaffected, as the regular PATH search will find the `.exe` files on
Windows (and not be confused by a directory of the name `git` that is
in one of the directories listed in the `PATH` variable), while
`/path/to/git` would not, per se, know that it is looking for an
executable and happily prefer such a directory.
