2c5e2865cc pack.h: define largest possible encoded object size
Several callers use fixed buffers for storing the pack
object header, and they've picked 10 as a magic number. This
is reasonable, since it handles objects up to 2^67. But
let's give them a constant so it's clear that the number
isn't pulled out of thin air.

7202a6fa87 encode_in_pack_object_header: respect output buffer length
The encode_in_pack_object_header() writes a variable-length
header to an output buffer, but it doesn't actually know
long the buffer is. At first glance, this looks like it
might be possible to overflow.

In practice, this is probably impossible. The smallest
buffer we use is 10 bytes, which would hold the header for
an object up to 2^67 bytes. Obviously we're not likely to
see such an object, but we might worry that an object could
lie about its size (causing us to overflow before we realize
it does not actually have that many bytes). But the argument
is passed as a uintmax_t. Even on systems that have __int128
available, uintmax_t is typically restricted to 64-bit by
the ABI.

So it's unlikely that a system exists where this could be
exploited. Still, it's easy enough to use a normal out/len
pair and make sure we don't write too far. That protects the
hypothetical 128-bit system, makes it harder for callers to
accidentally specify a too-small buffer, and makes the
resulting code easier to audit.

Note that the one caller in fast-import tried to catch such
a case, but did so _after_ the call (at which point we'd
have already overflowed!). This check can now go away.

98718242cf fast-import: use xsnprintf for formatting headers
The stream_blob() function checks the return value of
snprintf and dies. This is more simply done with
xsnprintf (and matches the similar call in store_object).

The message the user would get is less specific, but since
the point is that this _shouldn't_ ever happen, that's OK.

614b19542f fast-import: use xsnprintf for writing sha1s
When we have to write a sha1 with a newline, we do so by
copying both into a single buffer, so that we can issue a
single write() call.

We use snprintf but don't bother to check the output, since
we know it will fit. However, we should use xsnprintf() in
such a case so that we're notified if our assumption turns
out to be wrong (and to make it easier to audit for
unchecked snprintf calls).

b9e2bc560a git-status: make porcelain more robust
git status provides a porcelain mode for porcelain writers with a

7a76c28ff2 ("status: disable translation when --porcelain is used", 2014-03-20)
made sure that ahead/behind info is not translated (i.e. is stable).

Make sure that the remaining two strings (initial commit, detached head)
are stable, too.

These changes are for the v1 porcelain interface. While we do have a perfectly
stable v2 porcelain interface now, some tools (such as
powerline-gitstatus) are written against v1 and profit from fixing v1
without any changes on their side.

d61434ae81 http-walker: fix buffer underflow processing remote alternates
If we parse a remote alternates (or http-alternates), we
expect relative lines like:

  ../../foo.git/objects

which we convert into "$URL/../foo.git/" (and then use that
as a base for fetching more objects).

But if the remote feeds us nonsense like just:

  ../

we will try to blindly strip the last 7 characters, assuming
they contain the string "objects". Since we don't _have_ 7
characters at all, this results in feeding a small negative
value to strbuf_add(), which converts it to a size_t,
resulting in a big positive value. This should consistently
fail (since we can't generall allocate the max size_t minus
7 bytes), so there shouldn't be any security implications.

Let's fix this by using strbuf_strip_suffix() to drop the
characters we want. If they're not present, we'll ignore the
alternate (in theory we could use it as-is, but the rest of
the http-walker code unconditionally tacks "objects/" back
on, so it is it not prepared to handle such a case).

ce83eadd9a real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die on error
In 4ac9006f83 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and
strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path())
pattern to use real_pathdup() directly.

The problem with this change is that real_path() calls
strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls
it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path()
causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent
and returns NULL instead.

The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect
the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died
with an appropriate error message).

Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the
die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(),
and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would
handle NULLs well.

Note that we can't use COPY_ARRAY() here because the source

the real type, which should make it more clear that there's

This memcpy meant to get the sizeof a "struct range", not a
"range_set", as the former is what our array holds. Rather
than swap out the types, let's convert this site to
COPY_ARRAY, which avoids the problem entirely (and confirms
that the src and dst types match).

Note for curiosity's sake that this bug doesn't trigger on
I32LP64 systems, but does on ILP32 systems. The mistaken
"struct range_set" has two ints and a pointer. That's 16
bytes on LP64, or 12 on ILP32. The correct "struct range"
type has two longs, which is also 16 on LP64, but only 8 on
ILP32.

aaae0bf787 line-log.c: prevent crash during union of too many ranges
The existing implementation of range_set_union does not correctly
reallocate memory, leading to a heap overflow when it attempts to union
more than 24 separate line ranges.

For struct range_set *out to grow correctly it must have out->nr set to
the current size of the buffer when it is passed to range_set_grow.
However, the existing implementation of range_set_union only updates
out->nr at the end of the function, meaning that it is always zero
before this. This results in range_set_grow never growing the buffer, as
well as some of the union logic itself being incorrect as !out->nr is
always true.

The reason why 24 is the limit is that the first allocation of size 1
ends up allocating a buffer of size 24 (due to the call to alloc_nr in
ALLOC_GROW). This goes some way to explain why this hasn't been
caught before.

Fix the problem by correctly updating out->nr after reallocating the
range_set. As this results in out->nr containing the same value as the
variable o, replace o with out->nr as well.

Finally, add a new test to help prevent the problem reoccurring in the
future. Thanks to Vegard Nossum for writing the test.

12426e114b diff: do not short-cut CHECK_SIZE_ONLY check in diff_populate_filespec()
Callers of diff_populate_filespec() can choose to ask only for the
size of the blob without grabbing the blob data, and the function,
after running lstat() when the filespec points at a working tree
file, returns by copying the value in size field of the stat
structure into the size field of the filespec when this is the case.

However, this short-cut cannot be taken if the contents from the
path needs to go through convert_to_git(), whose resulting real blob
data may be different from what is in the working tree file.

As "git diff --quiet" compares the .size fields of filespec
structures to skip content comparison, this bug manifests as a
false "there are differences" for a file that needs eol conversion,
for example.

c852bd54bd add--interactive: fix missing file prompt for patch mode with "-i"
When invoked as "git add -i", each menu interactive menu
option prompts the user to select a list of files. This
includes the "patch" option, which gets the list before
starting the hunk-selection loop.

As "git add -p", it behaves differently, and jumps straight
to the hunk selection loop.

Since 0539d5e6d (i18n: add--interactive: mark patch prompt
for translation, 2016-12-14), the "add -i" case mistakenly
jumps to straight to the hunk-selection loop. Prior to that
commit the distinction between the two cases was managed by
the $patch_mode variable. That commit used $patch_mode for
something else, and moved the old meaning to the "$cmd"
variable.  But it forgot to update the $patch_mode check
inside patch_update_cmd() which controls the file-list
behavior.

The simplest fix would be to change that line to check $cmd.
But while we're here, let's use a less obscure name for this
flag: $patch_mode_only, a boolean which tells whether we are
in full-interactive mode or only in patch-mode.

angle brackets, as documented in
<https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#autolink>

While we're at it, update URLs to avoid redirecting clients for
git-scm.com (by using HTTPS) and public-inbox.org (by adding a
trailing slash).

b2d593a779 wrapper.c: remove unused gitmkstemps() function
The last call to the mkstemps() function was removed in commit 659488326
("wrapper.c: delete dead function git_mkstemps()", 22-04-2016). In order
to support platforms without mkstemps(), this functionality was provided,
along with a Makefile build variable (NO_MKSTEMPS), by the gitmkstemps()
function. Remove the dead code, along with the defunct build machinery.

34de5e4bb0 wrapper.c: remove unused git_mkstemp() function
The last caller of git_mkstemp() was removed in commit 6fec0a89
("verify_signed_buffer: use tempfile object", 16-06-2016). Since
the introduction of the 'tempfile' APIs, along with git_mkstemp_mode,
it is unlikely that new callers will materialize. Remove the dead
code.

8e27391a5f http: attempt updating base URL only if no error
http.c supports HTTP redirects of the form

  http://foo/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
  -> http://anything
  -> http://bar/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack

(that is to say, as long as the Git part of the path and the query
string is preserved in the final redirect destination, the intermediate
steps can have any URL). However, if one of the intermediate steps
results in an HTTP exception, a confusing "unable to update url base
from redirection" message is printed instead of a Curl error message
with the HTTP exception code.

This was introduced by 2 commits. Commit c93c92f ("http: update base
URLs when we see redirects", 2013-09-28) introduced a best-effort
optimization that required checking if only the "base" part of the URL
differed between the initial request and the final redirect destination,
but it performed the check before any HTTP status checking was done. If
something went wrong, the normal code path was still followed, so this
did not cause any confusing error messages until commit 6628eb4 ("http:
always update the base URL for redirects", 2016-12-06), which taught
http to die if the non-"base" part of the URL differed.

Therefore, teach http to check the HTTP status before attempting to
check if only the "base" part of the URL differed. This commit teaches
http_request_reauth to return early without updating options->base_url
upon an error; the only invoker of this function that passes a non-NULL
"options" is remote-curl.c (through "http_get_strbuf"), which only uses
options->base_url for an informational message in the situations that
this commit cares about (that is, when the return value is not HTTP_OK).

The included test checks that the redirect scheme at the beginning of
this commit message works, and that returning a 502 in the middle of the
redirect scheme produces the correct result. Note that this is different
from the test in commit 6628eb4 ("http: always update the base URL for
redirects", 2016-12-06) in that this commit tests that a Git-shaped URL
(http://.../info/refs?service=git-upload-pack) works, whereas commit
6628eb4 tests that a non-Git-shaped URL
(http://.../info/refs/foo?service=git-upload-pack) does not work (even
though Git is processing that URL) and is an error that is fatal, not
silently swallowed.

b803ae4427 docs/diffcore: unquote "Complete Rewrites" in headers
The gitdiffcore documentation quotes the term "Complete Rewrites" in
headers for no real gain. This would make sense if the term could be
easily confused if not properly grouped together. But actually, the term
is quite obvious and thus does not really need any quoting, especially
regarding that it is not used anywhere else.

But more importanly, this brings up a bug when rendering man pages: when
trying to render quotes inside of a section header, we end up with
quotes which have been misaligned to the end of line. E.g.

    diffcore-break: For Splitting Up Complete Rewrites
    --------------------------------------------------

renders as

    DIFFCORE-BREAK: FOR SPLITTING UP  COMPLETE REWRITES""

, which is obviously wrong. While this is fixable for the man pages by
using double-quotes (e.g. ""COMPLETE REWRITES""), this again breaks it
for our generated HTML pages.

So fix the issue by simply dropping quotes inside of section headers,
which is currently only done for the term "Complete Rewrites".
