e2a57aac8a Name make_*_path functions more accurately
Rename the make_*_path functions so it's clearer what they do, in
particlar make clear what the differnce between make_absolute_path and
make_nonrelative_path is by renaming them real_path and absolute_path
respectively. make_relative_path has an understandable name and is
renamed to relative_path to maintain the name convention.

The function calls have been replaced 1-to-1 in their usage.

33f239365c path helpers: move git_mkstemp* to wrapper.c
git_mkstemp_mode and related functions do not require access to
specialized git machinery, unlike some other functions from
path.c (like set_shared_perm()).  Move them to wrapper.c where
the wrapper xmkstemp_mode is defined.

This eliminates a dependency of wrapper.o on environment.o via
path.o.  With typical linkers (e.g., gcc), that dependency makes
programs that use functions from wrapper.o and not environment.o
or path.o larger than they need to be.

1d9740cb32 git_mkstemps_mode: don't set errno to EINVAL on exit.
When reaching the end of git_mkstemps_mode, at least one call to open()
has been done, and errno has been set accordingly. Setting errno is
therefore not necessary, and actually harmfull since callers can't
distinguish e.g. permanent failure from ENOENT, which can just mean that
we need to create the containing directory.

b862b61c03 git_mkstemp_mode, xmkstemp_mode: variants of gitmkstemps with mode argument.
gitmkstemps emulates the behavior of mkstemps, which is usually used
to create files in a shared directory like /tmp/, hence, it creates
files with permission 0600.

Add git_mkstemps_mode() that allows us to specify the desired mode, and
make git_mkstemps() a wrapper that always uses 0600 to call it. Later we
will use git_mkstemps_mode() when creating pack files.

717c3972da setenv(GIT_DIR) clean-up
This patch converts the setenv() calls in path.c and setup.c.  After
the call, git grep with a pager works again in bare repos.

It leaves the setenv(GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT, ...) calls in git.c alone, as
they respond to command line switches that emulate the effect of setting
the environment variable directly.

The remaining site in environment.c is in set_git_dir() and is left
alone, too, of course.  Finally, builtin-init-db.c is left changed
because the repo is still being carefully constructed when the
environment variable is set.

This fixes git shortlog when run inside a git directory, which had been
broken by abe549e1.

288123f01c ignore duplicated slashes in make_relative_path()
The function takes two paths, an early part of abs is supposed to match
base; otherwise abs is not a path under base and the function returns the
full path of abs.  The caller can easily confuse the implementation by
giving duplicated and needless slashes in these path arguments.

34b6cb8bb0 http-backend: Protect GIT_PROJECT_ROOT from /../ requests
Eons ago HPA taught git-daemon how to protect itself from /../
attacks, which Junio brought back into service in d79374c7b5
("daemon.c and path.enter_repo(): revamp path validation").

I did not carry this into git-http-backend as originally we relied
only upon PATH_TRANSLATED, and assumed the HTTP server had done
its access control checks to validate the resolved path was within
a directory permitting access from the remote client.  This would
usually be sufficient to protect a server from requests for its
/etc/passwd file by http://host/smart/../etc/passwd sorts of URLs.

However in 917adc0360 Mark Lodato added GIT_PROJECT_ROOT as an
additional method of configuring the CGI.  When this environment
variable is used the web server does not generate the final access
path and therefore may blindly pass through "/../etc/passwd"
in PATH_INFO under the assumption that "/../" might have special
meaning to the invoked CGI.

Instead of permitting these sorts of malformed path requests, we
now reject them back at the client, with an error message for the
server log.  This matches git-daemon behavior.

17e61b8288 set_shared_perm(): sometimes we know what the final mode bits should look like
adjust_shared_perm() first obtains the mode bits from lstat(2), expecting
to find what the result of applying user's umask is, and then tweaks it
as necessary.  When the file to be adjusted is created with mkstemp(3),
however, the mode thusly obtained does not have anything to do with user's
umask, and we would need to start from 0444 in such a case and there is no
point running lstat(2) for such a path.

This introduces a new API set_shared_perm() to bypass the lstat(2) and
instead force setting the mode bits to the desired value directly.
adjust_shared_perm() becomes a thin wrapper to the function.

5a688fe470 "core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not loosen
This fixes the behaviour of octal notation to how it is defined in the
documentation, while keeping the traditional "loosen only" semantics
intact for "group" and "everybody".

Three main points of this patch are:

 - For an explicit octal notation, the internal shared_repository variable
   is set to a negative value, so that we can tell "group" (which is to
   "OR" in 0660) and 0660 (which is to "SET" to 0660);

 - git-init did not set shared_repository variable early enough to affect
   the initial creation of many files, notably copied templates and the
   configuration.  We set it very early when a command-line option
   specifies a custom value.

 - Many codepaths create files inside $GIT_DIR by various ways that all
   involve mkstemp(), and then call move_temp_to_file() to rename it to
   its final destination.  We can add adjust_shared_perm() call here; for
   the traditional "loosen-only", this would be a no-op for many codepaths
   because the mode is already loose enough, but with the new behaviour it
   makes a difference.

The function strip_path_suffix() will try to strip a given suffix from
a given path.  The suffix must start at a directory boundary (i.e. "core"
is not a path suffix of "libexec/git-core", but "git-core" is).

Arbitrary runs of directory separators ("slashes") are assumed identical.

Example:

	strip_path_suffix("C:\\msysgit/\\libexec\\git-core",
		"libexec///git-core", &prefix)

will set prefix to "C:\\msysgit" and return 0.

f42302b493 Test and fix normalize_path_copy()
This changes the test-path-utils utility to invoke normalize_path_copy()
instead of normalize_absolute_path() because the latter is about to be
removed.

The test cases in t0060 are adjusted in two regards:

- normalize_path_copy() more often leaves a trailing slash in the result.
  This has no negative side effects because the new user of this function,
  longest_ancester_length(), already accounts for this behavior.

- The function can fail.

The tests uncover a flaw in normalize_path_copy(): If there are
sufficiently many '..' path components so that the root is reached, such as
in "/d1/s1/../../d2", then the leading slash was lost. This manifested
itself that (assuming there is a repository at /tmp/foo)

  $ git add /d1/../tmp/foo/some-file

reported 'pathspec is outside repository'. This is now fixed.

Moreover, the test case descriptions of t0060 now include the test data and
expected outcome.

43a7ddb55d Fix GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES on Windows
Using git with GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES crashed on Windows due to a failed
assertion in normalize_absolute_path(): This function expects absolute
paths to start with a slash, while on Windows they can start with a drive
letter or a backslash.

This fixes it by using the alternative, normalize_path_copy() instead,
which can handle Windows-style paths just fine.

Secondly, the portability macro PATH_SEP is used instead of expecting
colons to be used as path list delimiter.

The test script t1504 is also changed to help MSYS's bash recognize some
program arguments as path list. (MSYS's bash must translate POSIX-style
path lists to Windows-style path lists, and the heuristic did not catch

HEAD is either a symlink or a symref into the "refs/"
hierarchy, or a detached HEAD.

We can tighten this a little more, though: a non-detached
HEAD should always point to a branch (since checking out
anything else should result in detachment), so it is safe to
check for "refs/heads/".

10c4c881c4 Allow add_path() to add non-existent directories to the path
This function had used make_absolute_path(); but this function dies if
the directory that contains the entry whose relative path was supplied in
the argument does not exist. This is a problem if the argument is, for
example, "../libexec/git-core", and that "../libexec" does not exist.

Since the resolution of symbolic links is not required for elements in
PATH, we can fall back to using make_nonrelative_path(), which simply
prepends $PWD to the path.

We have to move make_nonrelative_path() alongside make_absolute_path() in
abspath.c so that git-shell can be linked. See 5b8e6f85f.

8c6202d869 Fix backwards-incompatible handling of core.sharedRepository
06cbe85 (Make core.sharedRepository more generic, 2008-04-16) broke the
traditional setting of core.sharedRepository to true, which was to make
the repository group writable: with umask 022, it would clear the
permission bits for 'other'. (umask 002 did not exhibit this behaviour
since pre-chmod() check in adjust_shared_perm() fails in that case.)

The call to adjust_shared_perm() should only loosen the permission.
If the user has umask like 022 or 002 that allow others to read, the
resulting files should be made readable and writable by group, without
restricting the readability by others.

This patch fixes the adjust_shared_perm() mode tweak based on Junio's
suggestion and adds the appropriate tests to t/t1301-shared-repo.sh.

044bbbcb63 Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in setup_work_tree()
Once we find the absolute paths for git_dir and work_tree, we can make
git_dir a relative path since we know pwd will be work_tree. This should
save the kernel some time traversing the path to work_tree all the time
if git_dir is inside work_tree.

Daniel's patch didn't apply for me as-is, so I recreated it with some
differences, and here are the numbers from ten runs each.

There is some IO for me - probably due to more-or-less random flushing of
the journal - so the variation is bigger than I'd like, but whatever:

	Before:
		real    0m8.135s
		real    0m7.933s
		real    0m8.080s
		real    0m7.954s
		real    0m7.949s
		real    0m8.112s
		real    0m7.934s
		real    0m8.059s
		real    0m7.979s
		real    0m8.038s

	After:
		real    0m7.685s
		real    0m7.968s
		real    0m7.703s
		real    0m7.850s
		real    0m7.995s
		real    0m7.817s
		real    0m7.963s
		real    0m7.955s
		real    0m7.848s
		real    0m7.969s

Now, going by "best of ten" (on the assumption that the longer numbers
are all due to IO), I'm saying a 7.933s -> 7.685s reduction, and it does
seem to be outside of the noise (ie the "after" case never broke 8s, while
the "before" case did so half the time).

So looks like about 3% to me.

Doing it for a slightly smaller test-case (just the "arch" subdirectory)
gets more stable numbers probably due to not filling the journal with
metadata updates, so we have:

	Before:
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.633s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.630s
		real    0m1.634s
		real    0m1.631s
		real    0m1.632s
		real    0m1.632s

	After:
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.609s
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.608s
		real    0m1.607s
		real    0m1.610s
		real    0m1.609s
		real    0m1.611s
		real    0m1.608s
		real    0m1.611s

where I'ld just take the averages and say 1.632 vs 1.610, which is just
over 1% peformance improvement.

So it's not in the noise, but it's not as big as I initially thought and
measured.

(That said, it obviously depends on how deep the working directory path is
too, and whether it is behind NFS or something else that might need to
cause more work to look up).

1b9a9467f8 Use nonrelative paths instead of absolute paths for cloned repositories
Particularly for the "alternates" file, if one will be created, we
want a path that doesn't depend on the current directory, but we want
to retain any symlinks in the path as given and any in the user's view
of the current directory when the path was given.

0454dd93bf Add support for GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES
Make git recognize a new environment variable that prevents it from
chdir'ing up into specified directories when looking for a GIT_DIR.
Useful for avoiding slow network directories.

For example, I use git in an environment where homedirs are automounted
and "ls /home/nonexistent" takes about 9 seconds.  Setting
GIT_CEILING_DIRS="/home" allows "git help -a" (for bash completion) and
"git symbolic-ref" (for my shell prompt) to run in a reasonable time.

ae299be0e5 Implement normalize_absolute_path
normalize_absolute_path removes several oddities form absolute paths,
giving nice clean paths like "/dir/sub1/sub2".  Also add a test case
