Commit e9d9a8a4d (connect: handle putty/plink also in
GIT_SSH_COMMAND, 2017-01-02) added a call to
split_cmdline(), but checks only for a non-zero return to
see if we got any output. Since the function returns
negative values (and a NULL argv) on error, we end up
dereferencing NULL and segfaulting.
Arguably we could report on the parsing error here, but it's
probably not worth it. This is a best-effort attempt to see
if we are using plink. So we can simply return here with
"no, it wasn't plink" and let the shell actually complain
about the bogus quoting.

Git for Windows has special support for the popular SSH client PuTTY:
when using PuTTY's non-interactive version ("plink.exe"), we use the -P
option to specify the port rather than OpenSSH's -p option. TortoiseGit
ships with its own, forked version of plink.exe, that adds support for
the -batch option, and for good measure we special-case that, too.
However, this special-casing of PuTTY only covers the case where the
user overrides the SSH command via the environment variable GIT_SSH
(which allows specifying the name of the executable), not
GIT_SSH_COMMAND (which allows specifying a full command, including
additional command-line options).
When users want to pass any additional arguments to (Tortoise-)Plink,
such as setting a private key, they are required to either use a shell
script named plink or tortoiseplink or duplicate the logic that is
already in Git for passing the correct style of command line arguments,
which can be difficult, error prone and annoying to get right.
This patch simply reuses the existing logic and expands it to cover
GIT_SSH_COMMAND, too.
Note: it may look a little heavy-handed to duplicate the entire
command-line and then split it, only to extract the name of the
executable. However, this is not a performance-critical code path, and
the code is much more readable this way.

d95138e6 (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like
$GIT_DIR, 2015-06-26) attempted to work around a glitch in alias
handling by overwriting GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable to
affect subprocesses when set_git_work_tree() gets called, which
resulted in a rather unpleasant regression to "clone" and "init".
Try to address the same issue by always restoring the environment
and respawning the real underlying command when handling alias.

The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

Commit d95138e [1] attempted to fix a .git file problem by
setting GIT_WORK_TREE whenever GIT_DIR is set. It sounded harmless
because we handle GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE side by side for most
commands, with two exceptions: git-init and git-clone.
"git clone" is not happy with d95138e. This command ignores GIT_DIR
but respects GIT_WORK_TREE [2] [3] which means it used to run fine
from a hook, where GIT_DIR was set but GIT_WORK_TREE was not (*).
With d95138e, GIT_WORK_TREE is set all the time and git-clone
interprets that as "I give you order to put the worktree here",
usually against the user's intention.
The solution in d95138e is reverted earlier, and instead we reuse
the solution from c056261 [4]. It fixed another setup-messed-
up-by-alias by saving and restoring env and spawning a new process,
but for git-clone and git-init only.
Now we conclude that setup-messed-up-by-alias is always evil. So the
env restoration is done for _all_ commands, including external ones,
whenever aliases are involved. It fixes what d95138e tried to fix,
without upsetting git-clone-inside-hooks.
The test from d95138e remains to verify it's not broken by this. A new
test is added to make sure git-clone-inside-hooks remains happy.
(*) GIT_WORK_TREE was not set _most of the time_. In some cases
GIT_WORK_TREE is set and git-clone will behave differently. The
use of GIT_WORK_TREE to direct git-clone to put work tree
elsewhere looks like a mistake because it causes surprises this
way. But that's a separate story.

When debugging the pack protocol, it is sometimes useful to
store the verbatim pack that we sent or received on the
wire. Looking at the on-disk result is often not helpful for
a few reasons:
1. If the operation is a clone, we destroy the repo on
failure, leaving nothing on disk.
2. If the pack is small, we unpack it immediately, and the
full pack never hits the disk.
3. If we feed the pack to "index-pack --fix-thin", the
resulting pack has the extra delta bases added to it.
We already have a GIT_TRACE_PACKET mechanism for tracing
packets. Let's extend it with GIT_TRACE_PACKFILE to dump the
verbatim packfile.
There are a few other positive fallouts that come from
rearranging this code:
- We currently disable the packet trace after seeing the
PACK header, even though we may get human-readable lines
on other sidebands; now we include them in the trace.
- We currently try to print "PACK ..." in the trace to
indicate that the packfile has started. But because we
disable packet tracing, we never printed this line. We
will now do so.

* bc/connect-plink:

t5601: fix quotation error leading to skipped tests
connect: simplify SSH connection code path
The git_connect function has code to handle plink and tortoiseplink
specially, as they require different command line arguments from
OpenSSH (-P instead of -p for ports; tortoiseplink additionally requires
-batch). However, the match was done by checking for "plink" anywhere
in the string, which led to a GIT_SSH value containing "uplink" being
treated as an invocation of putty's plink.
Improve the check by looking for "plink" or "tortoiseplink" (or those
names suffixed with ".exe") only in the final component of the path.
This has the downside that a program such as "plink-0.63" would no
longer be recognized, but the increased robustness is likely worth it.
Add tests to cover these cases to avoid regressions.

One of the tests in t5601 used single quotes to delimit an argument
containing spaces. However, this caused test_expect_success to be
passed three arguments instead of two, which in turn caused the test
name to be treated as a prerequisite instead of a test name. As there
was no prerequisite called "bracketed hostnames are still ssh", the test
was always skipped.
Because this test was always skipped, the fact that it passed the
arguments in the wrong order was obscured. Use double quotes inside the
test and reorder the arguments so that the test runs and properly
reflects the arguments that are passed to ssh.

One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git
clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch
"HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess. A new
capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this
information so that cloning from a repository with more than one
branches pointing at the same commit where the HEAD is at now
reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository.

commit 6000334 (clone: allow cloning local paths with colons in them -
2013-05-04) made it possible to specify a path that has colons in it
without file://, e.g. ../foo:bar/somewhere. But the check was a bit
sloppy.
Consider the url '[foo]:bar'. The '[]' unwrapping code will turn the
string to 'foo\0:bar'. In effect this new string is the same as
'foo/:bar' in the check "path < strchrnul(host, '/')", which mistakes
it for a local path (with '/' before the first ':') when it's actually
not.
So disable the check for '/' before ':' when the URL has been mangled
by '[]' unwrapping.

Putting messages like "Cloning into.." and "done" on stdout
is un-Unix and uselessly clutters the stdout channel. Send
them to stderr.
We have to tweak two tests to accommodate this:
1. t5601 checks for doubled output due to forking, and
doesn't actually care where the output goes; adjust it
to check stderr.
2. t5702 is trying to test whether progress output was
sent to stderr, but naively does so by checking
whether stderr produced any output. Instead, have it
look for "%", a token found in progress output but not
elsewhere (and which lets us avoid hard-coding the
progress text in the test).
This should not regress any scripts that try to parse the
current output, as the output is already internationalized
and therefore unstable.

Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:
- If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.
- An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
repository.
This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

Also add a test to expose a long-standing bug that is triggered when

Mark the init-db messages that were added in v1.7.5-rc1~16^2 (init,
clone: support --separate-git-dir for .git file) by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc
Duy for translation.
This requires splitting up the tests that the patch added so that
certain parts of them can be skipped unless the C_LOCALE_OUTPUT
prerequisite is satisfied.

--separate-git-dir tells git to create git dir at the specified
location, instead of where it is supposed to be. A .git file that
points to that location will be put in place so that it appears normal
to repo discovery process.

Now that test-lib sets $HOME to protect against pollution from user
settings, GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL is not needed for use by the test
suite any more. And as luck would have it, a quick code search
reveals no other users in the wild.
This patch does not affect GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM, which is still
needed.
