clone: fix colliding file detection on APFS
Commit b878579ae7 (clone: report duplicate entries on case-insensitive
filesystems - 2018-08-17) adds a warning to user when cloning a repo
with case-sensitive file names on a case-insensitive file system. The
"find duplicate file" check was doing by comparing inode number (and
only fall back to fspathcmp() when inode is known to be unreliable
because fspathcmp() can't cover all case folding cases).
The inode check is very simple, and wrong. It compares between a
32-bit number (sd_ino) and potentially a 64-bit number (st_ino). When
an inode is larger than 2^32 (which seems to be the case for APFS), it
will be truncated and stored in sd_ino, but comparing with itself will
fail.
As a result, instead of showing a pair of files that have the same
name, we show just one file (marked before the beginning of the
loop). We fail to find the original one.
The fix could be just a simple type cast (*)
dup->ce_stat_data.sd_ino == (unsigned int)st->st_ino
but this is no longer a reliable test, there are 4G possible inodes
that can match sd_ino because we only match the lower 32 bits instead
of full 64 bits.
There are two options to go. Either we ignore inode and go with
fspathcmp() on Apple platform. This means we can't do accurate inode
check on HFS anymore, or even on APFS when inode numbers are still
below 2^32.
Or we just to to reduce the odds of matching a wrong file by checking
more attributes, counting mostly on st_size because st_xtime is likely
the same. This patch goes with this direction, hoping that false
positive chances are too small to be seen in practice.
While at there, enable the test on Cygwin (verified working by Ramsay
Jones)

Since 3b1d9e04 (eoie: add End of Index Entry (EOIE) extension,
2018-10-10) Git defaults to writing the new EOIE section when writing
out an index file. Usually that is a good thing because it improves
threaded performance, but when a Git repository is shared with older
versions of Git, it produces a confusing warning:
$ git status
ignoring EOIE extension
HEAD detached at 371ed0defa
nothing to commit, working tree clean
Let's introduce the new index extension more gently. First we'll roll
out the new version of Git that understands it, and then once
sufficiently many users are using such a version, we can flip the
default to writing it by default.
Introduce a '[index] recordEndOfIndexEntries' configuration variable
to allow interested users to benefit from this index extension early.

The 'test_cmp_rev' helper is merely a wrapper around 'test_cmp'
checking the output of two 'git rev-parse' commands, which means that
its output on failure is not particularly informative, as it's
basically two OIDs with a bit of extra clutter of the diff header, but
without any indication of which two revisions have caused the failure:
--- expect.rev 2018-11-17 14:02:11.569747033 +0000
+++ actual.rev 2018-11-17 14:02:11.569747033 +0000

It also pollutes the test repo with these two intermediate files,
though that doesn't seem to cause any complications in our current
tests (meaning that I couldn't find any tests that have to work around
the presence of these files by explicitly removing or ignoring them).
Enhance 'test_cmp_rev' to provide a more useful output on failure with
less clutter:
error: two revisions point to different objects:
'HEAD^': d79ce1670bdcb76e6d1da2ae095e890ccb326ae9
'extra': 139b20d8e6c5b496de61f033f642d0e3dbff528d
Doing so is more convenient when storing the OIDs outputted by 'git
rev-parse' in a local variable each, which, as a bonus, won't pollute
the repository with intermediate files.
While at it, also ensure that 'test_cmp_rev' is invoked with the right
number of parameters, namely two.

Some of the functions in our test library check that they were invoked
properly with conditions like this:
test "$#" = 2 ||
error "bug in the test script: not 2 parameters to test-expect-success"
If this particular condition is triggered, then 'error' will abort the
whole test script with a bold red error message [1] right away.
However, under certain circumstances the test script will be aborted
completely silently, namely if:
- a similar condition in a test helper function like
'test_line_count' is triggered,
- which is invoked from the test script's "main" shell [2],
- and the test script is run manually (i.e. './t1234-foo.sh' as
opposed to 'make t1234-foo.sh' or 'make test') [3]
- and without the '--verbose' option,
because the error message is printed from within 'test_eval_', where
standard output is redirected either to /dev/null or to a log file.
The only indication that something is wrong is that not all tests in
the script are executed and at the end of the test script's output
there is no "# passed all N tests" message, which are subtle and can
easily go unnoticed, as I had to experience myself.
Send these "bug in the test script" error messages directly to the
test scripts standard error and thus to the terminal, so those bugs
will be much harder to overlook. Instead of updating all ~20 such
'error' calls with a redirection, let's add a BUG() function to
'test-lib.sh', wrapping an 'error' call with the proper redirection
and also including the common prefix of those error messages, and
convert all those call sites [4] to use this new BUG() function
instead.
[1] That particular error message from 'test_expect_success' is
printed in color only when running with or without '--verbose';
with '--tee' or '--verbose-log' the error is printed without
color, but it is printed to the terminal nonetheless.
[2] If such a condition is triggered in a subshell of a test, then
'error' won't be able to abort the whole test script, but only the
subshell, which in turn causes the test to fail in the usual way,
indicating loudly and clearly that something is wrong.
[3] Well, 'error' aborts the test script the same way when run
manually or by 'make' or 'prove', but both 'make' and 'prove' pay
attention to the test script's exit status, and even a silently
aborted test script would then trigger those tools' usual
noticable error messages.
[4] Strictly speaking, not all those 'error' calls need that
redirection to send their output to the terminal, see e.g.
'test_expect_success' in the opening example, but I think it's
better to be consistent.

This lets us use :(attr) with "git grep <tree-ish>" or "git log".
:(attr) requires another round of checking before we can declare that
a path is matched. This is done after path matching since we have lots
of optimization to take a shortcut when things don't match.
Note that if :(attr) is present, we can't return
all_entries_interesting / all_entries_not_interesting anymore because
we can't be certain about that. Not until match_pathspec_attrs() can
tell us "yes all these paths satisfy :(attr)".
Second note. Even though we walk a specific tree, we use attributes
from _worktree_ (or falling back to the index), not from .gitattributes
files on that tree. This by itself is not necessarily wrong, but the
user just have to be aware of this.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

The command 'git ls-remote --sort=authordate <remote>' segfaults when
run outside of a repository, ever since the introduction of its
'--sort' option in 1fb20dfd8e (ls-remote: create '--sort' option,
2018-04-09).
While in general the 'git ls-remote' command can be run outside of a
repository just fine, its '--sort=<key>' option with certain keys does
require access to the referenced objects. This sorting is implemented
using the generic ref-filter sorting facility, which already handles
missing objects gracefully with the appropriate 'missing object
deadbeef for HEAD' message. However, being generic means that it
checks replace refs while trying to retrieve an object, and while
doing so it accesses the 'git_replace_ref_base' variable, which has
not been initialized and is still a NULL pointer when outside of a
repository, thus causing the segfault.
Make ref-filter more careful upfront while parsing the format string,
and make it error out when encountering a format atom requiring object
access when we are not in a repository. Also add a test to ensure
that 'git ls-remote --sort' fails gracefully when executed outside of
a repository.

The initial fetch during a clone doesn't transfer refs matching
additional fetch refspecs given on the command line as configuration
variables, e.g. '-c remote.origin.fetch=<refspec>'. This contradicts
the documentation stating that configuration variables specified via
'git clone -c <key>=<value> ...' "take effect immediately after the
repository is initialized, but before the remote history is fetched"
and the given example specifically mentions "adding additional fetch
refspecs to the origin remote". Furthermore, one-shot configuration
variables specified via 'git -c <key>=<value> clone ...', though not
written to the newly created repository's config file, live during the
lifetime of the 'clone' command, including the initial fetch. All
this implies that any fetch refspecs specified this way should already
be taken into account during the initial fetch.
The reason for this is that the initial fetch is not a fully fledged
'git fetch' but a bunch of direct calls into the fetch/transport
machinery with clone's own refs-to-refspec matching logic, which
bypasses parts of 'git fetch' processing configured fetch refspecs.
This logic only considers a single default refspec, potentially
influenced by options like '--single-branch' and '--mirror'. The
configured refspecs are, however, already read and parsed properly
when clone calls remote.c:remote_get(), but it never looks at the
parsed refspecs in the resulting 'struct remote'.
Modify clone to take the remote's configured fetch refspecs into
account to retrieve all matching refs during the initial fetch. Note
that we have to explicitly add the default fetch refspec to the
remote's refspecs, because at that point the remote only includes the
fetch refspecs specified on the command line.
Add tests to check that refspecs given both via 'git clone -c ...' and
'git -c ... clone' retrieve all refs matching either the default or
the additional refspecs, and that it works even when the user
specifies an alternative remote name via '--origin=<name>'.

- Checking if the <src> being pushed ('v2.19.0^{commit}')

Neither worked, so we gave up. You must fully qualify the ref.

Make the behavior when diff options (e.g. "--stat") are passed
consistent with how "diff" behaves.
Before 73a834e9e2 ("range-diff: relieve callers of low-level
configuration burden", 2018-07-22) running range-diff with "--stat"
would produce stat output and the diff output, as opposed to how
"diff" behaves where once "--stat" is specified "--patch" also needs
to be provided to emit the patch output.
As noted in a previous change ("range-diff doc: add a section about
output stability", 2018-11-07) the "--stat" output with "range-diff"
is useless at the moment.
But we should behave consistently with "diff" in anticipation of such
output being useful in the future, because it would make for confusing
UI if "diff" and "range-diff" behaved differently when it came to how
they interpret diff options.
The new behavior is also consistent with the existing documentation
added in ba931edd28 ("range-diff: populate the man page",
2018-08-13). See "[...]also accepts the regular diff options[...]" in

When checkout dwim is added in [1], it is restricted to only dwim when
certain conditions are met and fall back to default checkout behavior
otherwise. It turns out falling back could be confusing. One of the
conditions to turn
git checkout frotz
to
git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz
is that frotz must not exist as a file. But when the user comes to
expect "git checkout frotz" to create the branch "frotz" and there
happens to be a file named "frotz", git's silently reverting "frotz"
file content is not helping. This is reported in Git mailing list [2]
and even used as an example of "Git is bad" elsewhere [3].
We normally try to do the right thing, but when there are multiple
"right things" to do, it's best to leave it to the user to decide.
Check this case, ask the user to to disambiguate:
- "git checkout -- foo" will check out path "foo"
- "git checkout foo --" will dwim and create branch "foo" [4]
For users who do not want dwim, use --no-guess. It's useless in this
particular case because "git checkout --no-guess foo --" will just
fail. But it could be used by scripts.

Introduce optname() that does the early half of original opterror() to
come up with the name of the option reported back to the user, and use
it to kill opterror(). The callers of opterror() now directly call
error() using the string returned by opterror() instead.
There are a few issues with opterror()
- it tries to assemble an English sentence from pieces. This is not
great for translators because we give them pieces instead of a full
sentence.
- It's a wrapper around error() and needs some hack to let the
compiler know it always returns -1.
- Since it takes a string instead of printf format, one call site has
to assemble the string manually before passing to it.
Using error() directly solves the second and third problems.
It kind helps the first problem as well because "%s does foo" does
give a translator a full sentence in a sense and let them reorder if
needed. But it has limitations, if the subject part has to change
based on the rest of the sentence, that language is screwed. This is
also why I try to avoid calling optname() when 'flags' is known in
advance.
