50d89ad654 submodule: use argv_array instead of hand-building arrays
fetch_populated_submodules() allocates the full argv array it uses to
recurse into the submodules from the number of given options plus the six
argv values it is going to add. It then initializes it with those values
which won't change during the iteration and copies the given options into
it. Inside the loop the two argv values different for each submodule get
replaced with those currently valid.

However, this technique is brittle and error-prone (as the comment to
explain the magic number 6 indicates), so let's replace it with an
argv_array. Instead of replacing the argv values, push them to the
argv_array just before the run_command() call (including the option
separating them) and pop them from the argv_array right after that.

Fetch invokes itself recursively when recursing into
submodules or handling "fetch --multiple". In both cases, it
builds the child's command line by pushing options onto a
statically-sized array. In both cases, the array is
currently just big enough to handle the largest possible
case. However, this technique is brittle and error-prone, so
let's replace it with a dynamic argv_array.

ba4d1c7b16 argv-array: fix bogus cast when freeing array
Since the array struct stores a "const char **" argv member
(for compatibility with most of our argv-taking functions),
we have to cast away the const-ness when freeing its
elements.

However, we used the wrong type when doing so.  It doesn't
make a difference since free() take a void pointer anyway,
but it can be slightly confusing to a reader.

Sometimes we build a set of similar command lines, differing
only in the final arguments (e.g., "fetch --multiple"). To
use argv_array for this, you have to either push the same
set of elements repeatedly, or break the abstraction by
manually manipulating the array's internal members.

Instead, let's provide a sanctioned "pop" function to remove
elements from the end.

a73e22e963 cherry-pick/revert: respect order of revisions to pick
When giving multiple individual revisions to cherry-pick or revert, as
in 'git cherry-pick A B' or 'git revert B A', one would expect them to
be picked/reverted in the order given on the command line. They are
instead ordered by their commit timestamp -- in chronological order
for "cherry-pick" and in reverse chronological order for
"revert". This matches the order in which one would usually give them
on the command line, making this bug somewhat hard to notice. Still,
it has been reported at least once before [1].

It seems like the chronological sorting happened by accident because
the revision walker has traditionally always sorted commits in reverse
chronological order when rev_info.no_walk was enabled. In the case of
'git revert B A' where B is newer than A, this sorting is a no-op. For
'git cherry-pick A B', the sorting would reverse the arguments, but
because the sequencer also flips the rev_info.reverse flag when
picking (as opposed to reverting), the end result is a chronological
order. The rev_info.reverse flag was probably flipped so that the
revision walker emits B before C in 'git cherry-pick A..C'; that it
happened to effectively undo the unexpected sorting done when not
walking, was probably a coincidence that allowed this bug to happen at
all.

Fix the bug by telling the revision walker not to sort the commits
when not walking. The only case we want to reverse the order is now
when cherry-picking and walking revisions (rev_info.no_walk = 0).

ca92e59e30 teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sorting
When 'git log' is passed the --no-walk option, no revision walk takes
place, naturally. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, however, the provided
revisions still get sorted by commit date. So e.g 'git log --no-walk
HEAD HEAD~1' and 'git log --no-walk HEAD~1 HEAD' give the same result
(unless the two revisions share the commit date, in which case they
will retain the order given on the command line). As the commit that
introduced --no-walk (8e64006 (Teach revision machinery about
--no-walk, 2007-07-24)) points out, the sorting is intentional, to
allow things like

 git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk

to show all refs in order by commit date.

But there are also other cases where the sorting is not wanted, such
as

 <command producing revisions in order> |
       git log --oneline --no-walk --stdin

To accomodate both cases, leave the decision of whether or not to sort
up to the caller, by allowing --no-walk={sorted,unsorted}, defaulting
to 'sorted' for backward-compatibility reasons.

f9c75d858d log: fix --quiet synonym for -s
Originally the "--quiet" option was parsed by the
diff-option parser into the internal QUICK option. This had
the effect of silencing diff output from the log (which was
not intended, but happened to work and people started to
use it). But it also had other odd side effects at the diff
level (for example, it would suppress the second commit in
"git show A B").

To fix this, commit 1c40c36 converted log to parse-options
and handled the "quiet" option separately, not passing it
on to the diff code. However, it simply ignored the option,
which was a regression for people using it as a synonym for
"-s". Commit 01771a8 then fixed that by interpreting the
option to add DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT to the list of output
formats.

However, that commit did not fix it in all cases. It sets
the flag after setup_revisions is called. Naively, this
makes sense because you would expect the setup_revisions
parser to overwrite our output format flag if "-p" or
another output format flag is seen.

However, that is not how the NO_OUTPUT flag works. We
actually store it in the bit-field as just another format.
At the end of setup_revisions, we call diff_setup_done,
which post-processes the bitfield and clears any other
formats if we have set NO_OUTPUT. By setting the flag after
setup_revisions is done, diff_setup_done does not have a
chance to make this tweak, and we end up with other format
options still set.

As a result, the flag would have no effect in "git log -p
--quiet" or "git show --quiet".  Fix it by setting the
format flag before the call to setup_revisions.

b81401c1de http: prompt for credentials on failed POST
All of the smart-http GET requests go through the http_get_*
functions, which will prompt for credentials and retry if we
see an HTTP 401.

POST requests, however, do not go through any central point.
Moreover, it is difficult to retry in the general case; we
cannot assume the request body fits in memory or is even
seekable, and we don't know how much of it was consumed
during the attempt.

Most of the time, this is not a big deal; for both fetching
and pushing, we make a GET request before doing any POSTs,
so typically we figure out the credentials during the first
request, then reuse them during the POST. However, some
servers may allow a client to get the list of refs from
receive-pack without authentication, and then require
authentication when the client actually tries to POST the
pack.

This is not ideal, as the client may do a non-trivial amount
of work to generate the pack (e.g., delta-compressing
objects). However, for a long time it has been the
recommended example configuration in git-http-backend(1) for
setting up a repository with anonymous fetch and
authenticated push. This setup has always been broken
without putting a username into the URL. Prior to commit
986bbc0, it did work with a username in the URL, because git
would prompt for credentials before making any requests at
all. However, post-986bbc0, it is totally broken. Since it
has been advertised in the manpage for some time, we should
make sure it works.

Unfortunately, it is not as easy as simply calling post_rpc
again when it fails, due to the input issue mentioned above.
However, we can still make this specific case work by
retrying in two specific instances:

  1. If the request is large (bigger than LARGE_PACKET_MAX),
     we will first send a probe request with a single flush
     packet. Since this request is static, we can freely
     retry it.

  2. If the request is small and we are not using gzip, then
     we have the whole thing in-core, and we can freely
     retry.

That means we will not retry in some instances, including:

  1. If we are using gzip. However, we only do so when
     calling git-upload-pack, so it does not apply to
     pushes.

  2. If we have a large request, the probe succeeds, but
     then the real POST wants authentication. This is an
     extremely unlikely configuration and not worth worrying
     about.

While it might be nice to cover those instances, doing so
would be significantly more complex for very little
real-world gain. In the long run, we will be much better off
when curl learns to internally handle authentication as a
callback, and we can cleanly handle all cases that way.

fetching is anonymous and unauthenticated, but pushing is

at all. Part of the infrastructure to do this is recognizing
that auth/smart is indeed a smart-http repo.

The current apache config recognizes only "^/smart/*" as

for a real production site, but for our test suite we know
that our repositories will not have this magic string in the
name.

Note that we will route /foo/smart/bar.git directly to
git-http-backend/bar.git; in other words, everything before
the "/smart/" is irrelevant to finding the repo on disk (but
may impact apache config, for example by triggering auth
checks).

e837936c7c t5550: factor out http auth setup
The t5550 script sets up a nice askpass helper for
simulating user input and checking what git prompted for.
Let's make it available to other http scripts by migrating
it to lib-httpd.

We can use this immediately in t5540 to make our tests more
robust (previously, we did not check at all that hitting the
password-protected repo actually involved a password).
Unfortunately, we end up failing the test because the
current code erroneously prompts twice (once for
git-remote-http, and then again when the former spawns
git-http-push).

More importantly, though, it will let us easily add
smart-http authentication tests in t5541 and t5551; we
currently do not test smart-http authentication at all.

As part of making it generic, let's always look for and
store auxiliary askpass files at the top-level trash
directory; this makes it compatible with t5540, which runs
some tests from sub-repositories. We can abstract away the
ugliness with a short helper function.

726800a8b3 t5550: put auth-required repo in auth/dumb
In most of our tests, we put repos to be accessed by dumb
protocols in /dumb, and repos to be accessed by smart
protocols in /smart.  In our test apache setup, the whole
/auth hierarchy requires authentication. However, we don't
bother to split it by smart and dumb here because we are not
currently testing smart-http authentication at all.

That will change in future patches, so let's be explicit
that we are interested in testing dumb access here. This
also happens to match what t5540 does for the push tests.

While the synopsis section makes it clear that the new branch name
is the parameter to these flags, the option description did not.

6a2abdc125 apply: compute patch->def_name correctly under -p0
Back when "git apply" was written, we made sure that the user can
skip more than the default number of path components (i.e. 1) by
giving "-p<n>", but the logic for doing so was built around the
notion of "we skip N slashes and stop".  This obviously does not
work well when running under -p0 where we do not want to skip any,
but still want to skip SP/HT that separates the pathnames of
preimage and postimage and want to reject absolute pathnames.

Stop using "stop_at_slash()", and instead introduce a new helper
"skip_tree_prefix()" with similar logic but works correctly even for
the -p0 case.

This is an ancient bug, but has been masked for a long time because
most of the patches are text and have other clues to tell us the
name of the preimage and the postimage.

Noticed by Colin McCabe.
