At 1d718a5108 ("do not overwrite untracked symlinks", 2011-02-20),
symlink.c:check_leading_path() started returning different codes for
FL_ENOENT and FL_SYMLINK. But one of its callers, unlink_entry(), was
not adjusted for this change, so it started to follow symlinks on the
leading path of to-be-removed entries. Fix that and add a regression
test.
Note that since 1d718a5108 check_leading_path() no longer differentiates
the case where it found a symlink in the path's leading components from
the cases where it found a regular file or failed to lstat() the
component. So, a side effect of this current patch is that
unlink_entry() now returns early in all of these three cases. And
because we no longer try to unlink such paths, we also don't get the
warning from remove_or_warn().
For the regular file and symlink cases, it's questionable whether the
warning was useful in the first place: unlink_entry() removes tracked
paths that should no longer be present in the state we are checking out
to. If the path had its leading dir replaced by another file, it means
that the basename already doesn't exist, so there is no need for a
warning. Sure, we are leaving a regular file or symlink behind at the
path's dirname, but this file is either untracked now (so again, no
need to warn), or it will be replaced by a tracked file during the next
phase of this checkout operation.
As for failing to lstat() one of the leading components, the basename
might still exist only we cannot unlink it (e.g. due to the lack of the
required permissions). Since the user expect it to be removed
(especially with checkout's --no-overlay option), add back the warning
in this more relevant case.

Since 1d718a5108 ("do not overwrite untracked symlinks", 2011-02-20),
the comment on top of threaded_check_leading_path() is outdated and no
longer reflects the behavior of this function. Let's updated it to avoid
confusions. While we are here, also remove some duplicated comments to
avoid similar maintenance problems.

In the previous commit, we intercepted calls to `rmdir()` to invalidate
the lstat cache in the successful case, so that the lstat cache could
not have the idea that a directory exists where there is none.
The same situation can arise, of course, when a separate process is
spawned (most notably, this is the case in `submodule_move_head()`).
Obviously, we cannot know whether a directory was removed in that
process, therefore we must invalidate the lstat cache afterwards.
Note: in contrast to `lstat_cache_aware_rmdir()`, we invalidate the
lstat cache even in case of an error: the process might have removed a
directory and still have failed afterwards.

Before checking out a file, we have to confirm that all of its leading
components are real existing directories. And to reduce the number of
lstat() calls in this process, we cache the last leading path known to
contain only directories. However, when a path collision occurs (e.g.
when checking out case-sensitive files in case-insensitive file
systems), a cached path might have its file type changed on disk,
leaving the cache on an invalid state. Normally, this doesn't bring
any bad consequences as we usually check out files in index order, and
therefore, by the time the cached path becomes outdated, we no longer
need it anyway (because all files in that directory would have already
been written).
But, there are some users of the checkout machinery that do not always
follow the index order. In particular: checkout-index writes the paths
in the same order that they appear on the CLI (or stdin); and the
delayed checkout feature -- used when a long-running filter process
replies with "status=delayed" -- postpones the checkout of some entries,
thus modifying the checkout order.
When we have to check out an out-of-order entry and the lstat() cache is
invalid (due to a previous path collision), checkout_entry() may end up
using the invalid data and thrusting that the leading components are
real directories when, in reality, they are not. In the best case
scenario, where the directory was replaced by a regular file, the user
will get an error: "fatal: unable to create file 'foo/bar': Not a
directory". But if the directory was replaced by a symlink, checkout
could actually end up following the symlink and writing the file at a
wrong place, even outside the repository. Since delayed checkout is
affected by this bug, it could be used by an attacker to write
arbitrary files during the clone of a maliciously crafted repository.
Some candidate solutions considered were to disable the lstat() cache
during unordered checkouts or sort the entries before passing them to
the checkout machinery. But both ideas include some performance penalty
and they don't future-proof the code against new unordered use cases.
Instead, we now manually reset the lstat cache whenever we successfully
remove a directory. Note: We are not even checking whether the directory
was the same as the lstat cache points to because we might face a
scenario where the paths refer to the same location but differ due to
case folding, precomposed UTF-8 issues, or the presence of `..`
components in the path. Two regression tests, with case-collisions and
utf8-collisions, are also added for both checkout-index and delayed
checkout.
Note: to make the previously mentioned clone attack unfeasible, it would
be sufficient to reset the lstat cache only after the remove_subtree()
call inside checkout_entry(). This is the place where we would remove a
directory whose path collides with the path of another entry that we are
currently trying to check out (possibly a symlink). However, in the
interest of a thorough fix that does not leave Git open to
similar-but-not-identical attack vectors, we decided to intercept
all `rmdir()` calls in one fell swoop.
This addresses CVE-2021-21300.

this commit fixes the copied code.

Commit e8cbe2118a (am: stop exporting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE, 2020-08-17)
rewrote the code for setting the committer date to use fmt_ident(),
rather than setting an environment variable and letting commit_tree()
handle it. But it introduced two bugs:
- we use the author email string instead of the committer email
- when parsing the committer ident, we used the wrong variable to
compute the length of the email, resulting in it always being a
zero-length string
This commit fixes both, which causes our test of this option via the
rebase "apply" backend to now succeed.

After running "rebase --committer-date-is-author-date", we confirm that
the committer date is the same as the author date. However, we don't
look at any other parts of the committer ident line to make sure we
didn't screw them up. And indeed, there are a few bugs here. Depending
on the rebase backend in use, we may accidentally use the author email
instead of the committer's, or even an empty string.
Let's teach our test_ctime_is_atime helper to check the committer name
and email, which reveals several failing tests.

The idea of the `SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS` option is to stop hard-linking
the built-in commands as separate executables. The patches to do that
specifically excluded the three commands `receive-pack`,
`upload-archive` and `upload-pack`, though: these commands are expected
to be present in the `PATH` in their dashed form on the server side of
any fetch/push.
However, due to an oversight by myself, even if those commands were
still hard-linked, they were not installed into `bin/`.

On Mac, tooltips are not automatically removed when a window loses
focus. Furthermore, mouse-move events are only dispatched to the active
window, which means that if we Command-tab to another application while
a tool tip is showing, the tool tip will stay there forever (in front of
other applications). So we must hide it manually when we lose focus.

shouldn't hurt on other platforms, even though they don't seem to have
