Now that the index can block pathnames that can be mistaken
to mean ".git" on NTFS and FAT32, it would be helpful for
fsck to notice such problematic paths. This lets servers
which use receive.fsckObjects block them before the damage
spreads.
Note that the fsck check is always on, even for systems
without core.protectNTFS set. This is technically more
restrictive than we need to be, as a set of users on ext4
could happily use these odd filenames without caring about
NTFS.
However, on balance, it's helpful for all servers to block
these (because the paths can be used for mischief, and
servers which bother to fsck would want to stop the spread
whether they are on NTFS themselves or not), and hardly
anybody will be affected (because the blocked names are
variants of .git or git~1, meaning mischief is almost
certainly what the tree author had in mind).
Ideally these would be controlled by a separate
"fsck.protectNTFS" flag. However, it would be much nicer to
be able to enable/disable _any_ fsck flag individually, and
any scheme we choose should match such a system. Given the
likelihood of anybody using such a path in practice, it is
not unreasonable to wait until such a system materializes.

So far, we assumed that the buffer is NUL terminated, but this is not

buffer directly.
So let's make sure that there is at least an empty line in the buffer.
That way, our checks would fail if the empty line was encountered
prematurely, and consequently we can get away with the current string

When fsck'ing an incoming pack, we need to fsck objects that cannot be
read via read_sha1_file() because they are not local yet (and might even
be rejected if transfer.fsckobjects is set to 'true').
For commits, there is a hack in place: we basically cache commit
objects' buffers anyway, but the same is not true, say, for tag objects.
By refactoring fsck_object() to take the object buffer and size as
optional arguments -- optional, because we still fall back to the
previous method to look at the cached commit objects if the caller
passes NULL -- we prepare the machinery for the upcoming handling of tag
objects.
The assumption that such buffers are inherently NUL terminated is now
wrong, of course, hence we pass the size of the buffer so that we can
add a sanity check later, to prevent running past the end of the buffer.

apply: use skip_prefix instead of raw addition
refactor skip_prefix to return a boolean
avoid using skip_prefix as a boolean
daemon: mark some strings as const
parse_diff_color_slot: drop ofs parameter
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);

Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.
For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.
This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

fsck_tree() has two different ways to set a flag variable, either by
using a if-statement that guards an assignment, or by using a
bitwise-or assignment operator. Most are done with the former, and
only one variable is assigned with the latter.
Since all the conditions are short-and-sweet, we can afford to
uniformly use the latter style, which makes the resulting code
shorter and easier to read.

When we check whether a timestamp has overflowed, we check
only against ULONG_MAX, meaning that strtoul has overflowed.
However, we also feed these timestamps to system functions
like gmtime, which expect a time_t. On many systems, time_t
is actually smaller than "unsigned long" (e.g., because it
is signed), and we would overflow when using these
functions. We don't know the actual size or signedness of
time_t, but we can easily check for truncation with a simple
assignment.

When we check commit objects, we complain if commit->date is
ULONG_MAX, which is an indication that we saw integer
overflow when parsing it. However, we do not do any check at
all for author lines, which also contain a timestamp.
Let's actually check the timestamps on each ident line
with strtoul. This catches both author and committer lines,
and we can get rid of the now-redundant commit->date check.
Note that like the existing check, we compare only against
ULONG_MAX. Now that we are calling strtoul at the site of
the check, we could be slightly more careful and also check
that errno is set to ERANGE. However, this will make further
refactoring in future patches a little harder, and it
doesn't really matter in practice.
For 32-bit systems, one would have to create a commit at the
exact wrong second in 2038. But by the time we get close to
that, all systems will hopefully have moved to 64-bit (and
if they haven't, they have a real problem one second later).
For 64-bit systems, by the time we get close to ULONG_MAX,
all systems will hopefully have been consumed in the fiery
wrath of our expanding Sun.

Having a ".git" entry inside a tree can cause confusing
results on checkout. At the top-level, you could not
checkout such a tree, as it would complain about overwriting
the real ".git" directory. In a subdirectory, you might
check it out, but performing operations in the subdirectory
would confusingly consider the in-tree ".git" directory as
the repository.
The regular git tools already make it hard to accidentally
add such an entry to a tree, and do not allow such entries
to enter the index at all. Teaching fsck about it provides
an additional safety check, and let's us avoid propagating
any such bogosity when transfer.fsckObjects is on.

such a tree with regular git.

case somebody has created a bogus tree (and this also lets
us prevent them from propagating when transfer.fsckObjects

fsck allows a name with > character in it like "name> <email>". Also for

More precisely, it seeks for a first '<', checks that ' ' preceeds it.
Then seeks to '<' or '>' and checks that it is the '>'. Missing space is
reported if either '<' is not found or it's not preceeded with ' '.
Change it to following. Seek to '<' or '>', check that it is '<' and is
preceeded with ' '. Seek to '<' or '>' and check that it is '>'. So now
"name> <email>" is rejected as "bad name". More strict name check is the

author <valid ident string>

The check is overly strict: for example, it errors out with the
message “expected blank line” for perfectly valid commits with an
"encoding ISO-8859-1" line.
Later it might make sense to teach fsck about the rest of the header
and warn about unrecognized header lines, but for simplicity, let’s

ba002f3 (builtin-fsck: move common object checking code to fsck.c) did
more than what it claimed to. Most notably, it wrongly made an empty tree
object an error by pretending to only move code from fsck_tree() in
builtin-fsck.c to fsck_tree() in fsck.c, but in fact adding a bogus check
to barf on an empty tree.
An empty tree object is _unusual_. Recent porcelains try reasonably hard
not to let the user create a commit that contains such a tree. Perhaps
warning about them in git-fsck may have some merit.
HOWEVER.
Being unusual and being errorneous are two quite different things. This
is especially true now we seem to use the same fsck_$object() code in
places other than git-fsck itself. For example, receive-pack should not
reject unusual objects, even if it would be a good idea to tighten it to
reject incorrect ones.
