6d68b2ab78 describe: teach --match to handle branches and remotes
When `git describe` uses `--match`, it matches only tags, basically
ignoring the `--all` argument even when it is specified.

Fix it by also matching branch name and $remote_name/$remote_branch_name,
for remote-tracking references, with the specified patterns. Update
documentation accordingly and add tests.

f0f7bebef7 read_info_alternates: warn on non-trivial errors
When we fail to open $GIT_DIR/info/alternates, we silently
assume there are no alternates. This is the right thing to
do for ENOENT, but not for other errors.

A hard error is probably overkill here. If we fail to read
an alternates file then either we'll complete our operation
anyway, or we'll fail to find some needed object. Either
way, a warning is good idea. And we already have a helper
function to handle this pattern; let's just call
warn_on_fopen_error().

Note that technically the errno from strbuf_read_file()
might be from a read() error, not open(). But since read()
would never return ENOENT or ENOTDIR, and since it produces
a generic "unable to access" error, it's suitable for
handling errors from either.

dc732bd5cb read_info_alternates: read contents into strbuf
This patch fixes a regression in v2.11.1 where we might read
past the end of an mmap'd buffer. It was introduced in
cf3c635210.

The link_alt_odb_entries() function has always taken a
ptr/len pair as input. Until cf3c635210 (alternates: accept
double-quoted paths, 2016-12-12), we made a copy of those
bytes in a string. But after that commit, we switched to
parsing the input left-to-right, and we ignore "len"
totally, instead reading until we hit a NUL.

This has mostly gone unnoticed for a few reasons:

  1. All but one caller passes a NUL-terminated string, with
     "len" pointing to the NUL.

  2. The remaining caller, read_info_alternates(), passes in
     an mmap'd file. Unless the file is an exact multiple of
     the page size, it will generally be followed by NUL
     padding to the end of the page, which just works.

The easiest way to demonstrate the problem is to build with:

  make SANITIZE=address NO_MMAP=Nope test

Any test which involves $GIT_DIR/info/alternates will fail,
as the mmap emulation (correctly) does not add an extra NUL,
and ASAN complains about reading past the end of the buffer.

One solution would be to teach link_alt_odb_entries() to
respect "len". But it's actually a bit tricky, since we
depend on unquote_c_style() under the hood, and it has no
ptr/len variant.

We could also just make a NUL-terminated copy of the input
bytes and operate on that. But since all but one caller
already is passing a string, instead let's just fix that
caller to provide NUL-terminated input in the first place,
by swapping out mmap for strbuf_read_file().

There's no advantage to using mmap on the alternates file.
It's not expected to be large (and anyway, we're copying its
contents into an in-memory linked list). Nor is using
git_open() buying us anything here, since we don't keep the
descriptor open for a long period of time.

Let's also drop the "len" parameter entirely from
link_alt_odb_entries(), since it's completely ignored. That
will avoid any new callers re-introducing a similar bug.

7236a34c98 t9010-*.sh: skip all tests if the PIPE prereq is missing
Every test in this file, except one, is marked with the PIPE prereq.
However, that lone test ('set up svn repo'), only performs some setup
work and checks whether the following test should be executed (by
setting an additional SVNREPO prerequisite). Since the following test
also requires the PIPE prerequisite, performing the setup test, when the
PIPE preequisite is missing, is simply wasted effort. Use the skip-all
test facility to skip all tests when the PIPE prerequisite is missing.

5aaa7fd39a Improve performance of git status --ignored
Improve the performance of the directory listing logic when it wants to list
non-empty ignored directories. In order to show non-empty ignored directories,
the existing logic will recursively iterate through all contents of an ignored
directory. This change introduces the optimization to stop iterating through
the contents once it finds the first file. This can have a significant
improvement in 'git status --ignored' performance in repositories with a large
number of files in ignored directories.

For an example of the performance difference on an example repository with
196,000 files in 400 ignored directories:

| Command                    |  Time (s) |
| -------------------------- | --------- |
| git status                 |   1.2     |
| git status --ignored (old) |   3.9     |
| git status --ignored (new) |   1.4     |

This turns out to be incorrect, as it is an instruction to read

read at most that many bytes, we should be using "%<len>s" instead.

it could possibly be mis-interpreted by a person who doesn't know
that the word 'touch' has the meaning of 'tamper with'. Further, it
could make translations a little difficult as it might not have the
intended meaning in a few languages when translated as such.

21dac1deee test-lib: don't use ulimit in test prerequisites on cygwin
On cygwin (and MinGW), the 'ulimit' built-in bash command does not have
the desired effect of limiting the resources of new processes, at least
for the stack and file descriptors. However, it always returns success
and leads to several test prerequisites being erroneously set to true.

Add a check for cygwin and MinGW to the prerequisite expressions, using
a 'test_have_prereq !MINGW,!CYGWIN' clause, to guard against using ulimit.
This affects the prerequisite expressions for the ULIMIT_STACK_SIZE,
CMDLINE_LIMIT and ULIMIT_FILE_DESCRIPTORS prerequisites.

which is much bigger than our struct size. This means that
our "< sizeof(header)" error check won't trigger.

In practice, we'd go on to read uninitialized memory and
compare it to the PACK signature, which is likely to fail.
But we shouldn't get there.

We can fix this by making a direct "!=" comparison to the
requested size, rather than "<". This means that errors get
lumped in with short reads, but that's sufficient for our
purposes here. There's no PH_ERROR tp represent our case.
And anyway, this function reads from pipes and network
sockets. A network error may racily appear as EOF to us
anyway if there's data left in the socket buffers.

d9bd4cbb9c config: flip return value of store_write_*()
The store_write_section() and store_write_pairs() functions
are basically high-level wrappers around write(). But their
return values are flipped from our usual convention, using
"1" for success and "0" for failure.

Let's flip them to follow the usual write() conventions and
update all callers. As these are local to config.c, it's
unlikely that we'd have new callers in any topics in flight
(which would be silently broken by our change). But just to
be on the safe side, let's rename them to just
write_section() and write_pairs().  That also accentuates
their relationship with write().

634eb82b1a notes-merge: use ssize_t for write_in_full() return value
We store the return value of write_in_full() in a long,
though the return is actually an ssize_t. This probably
doesn't matter much in practice (since the buffer size is
alredy an unsigned long), but it might if the size if
between what can be represented in "long" and "unsigned
long", and if your size_t is larger than a "long" (as it is
on 64-bit Windows).

4c95e3dd28 pkt-line: check write_in_full() errors against "< 0"
As with the previous two commits, we prefer to check
write_in_full()'s return value to see if it is negative,
rather than comparing it to the input length.

These cases actually flip the logic to check for success,
making conversion a little different than in other cases. We
could of course write:

  if (write_in_full(...) >= 0)
          return 0;
  return error(...);

But our usual method of spelling write() error checks is
just "< 0". So let's flip the logic for each of these
conditionals to our usual style.

564bde9ae6 convert less-trivial versions of "write_in_full() != len"
The prior commit converted many sites to check the return
value of write_in_full() for negativity, rather than a
mismatch with the input length. This patch covers similar
cases, but where the return value is stored in an
intermediate variable. These should get the same treatment,
but they need to be reviewed more carefully since it would
be a bug if the return value is stored in an unsigned type
(which indeed, it is in one of the cases).

06f46f237a avoid "write_in_full(fd, buf, len) != len" pattern
The return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the
requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write
before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial
value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really
write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11).

So checking anything except "was the return value negative"
is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do
so:

  1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your
     "len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will
     promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant.

     This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were
     trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a
     bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed
     recently in config.c).

     We should avoid promoting the mental model that you
     need to check the length at all, so that new sites are
     not tempted to copy us.

  2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type,
     especially when the length is an expression.

  3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full()
     users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full()
     semantics were changed, he wrote:

       I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just
       check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and
       stupid ones.

     Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that
     writing it this way does not have an intentional
     benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never
     bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly
     cargo-culted into new sites).

So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this
includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for
write_in_full()).

[1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that
    write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask
    write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is
    _larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But
    besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken
    version of write(), it would already invoke undefined
    behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned
    size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will
    wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly
    begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write
    gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

68a423ab3e get-tar-commit-id: check write_in_full() return against 0
We ask to write 41 bytes and make sure that the return value
is at least 41. This is the same "dangerous" pattern that
was fixed in the prior commit (wherein a negative return
value is promoted to unsigned), though it is not dangerous
here because our "41" is a constant, not an unsigned
variable.

But we should convert it anyway to avoid modeling a
dangerous construct.
