The shell prompt script (in contrib/), when using the PROMPT_COMMAND
interface, used an unsafe construct when showing the branch name in
$PS1.
* rh/prompt-pcmode-avoid-eval-on-refname:
git-prompt.sh: don't put unsanitized branch names in $PS1
Both bash and zsh subject the value of PS1 to parameter expansion,
command substitution, and arithmetic expansion. Rather than include
the raw, unescaped branch name in PS1 when running in two- or
three-argument mode, construct PS1 to reference a variable that holds
the branch name. Because the shells do not recursively expand, this
avoids arbitrary code execution by specially-crafted branch names such
as '$(IFS=_;cmd=sudo_rm_-rf_/;$cmd)'.

* jn/scripts-updates:
remove #!interpreter line from shell libraries
test: replace shebangs with descriptions in shell libraries
test: make FILEMODE a lazy prereq
contrib: remove git-p4import
mark contributed hooks executable
mark perl test scripts executable
mark Windows build scripts executable
In a shell snippet meant to be sourced by other shell scripts, an
opening #! line does more harm than good.
The harm:
- When the shell library is sourced, the interpreter and options from
the #! line are not used. Specifying a particular shell can
confuse the reader into thinking it is safe for the shell library
to rely on idiosyncrasies of that shell.
- Using #! instead of a plain comment drops a helpful visual clue
that this is a shell library and not a self-contained script.
- Tools such as lintian can use a #! line to tell when an
installation script has failed by forgetting to set a script
executable. This check does not work if shell libraries also start
with a #! line.
The good:
- Text editors notice the #! line and use it for syntax highlighting
if you try to edit the installed scripts (without ".sh" suffix) in
place.
The use of the #! for file type detection is not needed because Git's
shell libraries are meant to be edited in source form (with ".sh"
suffix). Replace the opening #! lines with comments.
This involves tweaking the test harness's valgrind support to find
shell libraries by looking for "# " in the first line instead of "#!"
(see v1.7.6-rc3~7, 2011-06-17).
Suggested by Russ Allbery through lintian. Thanks to Jeff King and
Clemens Buchacher for further analysis.
Tested by searching for non-executable scripts with #! line:
find . -name .git -prune -o -type f -not -executable |
while read file
do
read line <"$file"
case $line in
'#!'*)
echo "$file"
;;
esac
done
The only remaining scripts found are templates for shell scripts

Similar to Bash's default filename completion, our git-aware filename
completion stops at directory boundaries, i.e. it doesn't offer the
full 'path/to/file' at first, but only 'path/'. To achieve that the
completion script runs 'git ls-files' with specific command line
options to get the list of relevant paths under the current directory,
and then processes each path to strip all but the base directory or
filename (see __git_index_files()).
To offer only modified and untracked files for 'git add' the
completion script runs 'git ls-files --exclude-standard --others
--modified'. This command lists all non-ignored files in untracked
directories, which leads to a noticeable delay caused by the
processing mentioned above if there are a lot of such files
(__git_index_files() specifies '--exclude-standard' internally):
$ mkdir untracked-dir
$ for i in {1..10000} ; do >untracked-dir/$i ; done
$ time __git_index_files "--others --modified"
untracked-dir
real 0m0.537s
user 0m0.452s
sys 0m0.160s
Eliminate this delay by additionally passing the '--directory
--no-empty-directory' options to 'git ls-files' to show only the
directory name of non-empty untracked directories instead their whole
content:
$ time __git_index_files "--others --modified --directory --no-empty-directory"
untracked-dir
real 0m0.029s
user 0m0.020s
sys 0m0.004s
Filename completion for 'git clean' suffers from the same delay, as it
offers untracked files, too. The fix could be the same, but since it
actually makes sense to 'git clean' empty directories, in this case we
only pass the '--directory' option to 'git ls-files'.

Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008)
added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order
to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this

Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the

Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the
source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8,

__git_ps1() is usually added to the prompt inside a command

After:

After, from $PROMPT_COMMAND:

When the environment variable $GIT_PS1_SHOWSTASHSTATE is set

'refs/stash' ref exists but also, well, verifies that it's a valid
ref.
However, we don't need to be that thorough for the bash prompt. We
can omit that verification and only check whether 'refs/stash' exists
or not. Since 'git pack-refs' never packs 'refs/stash', it's a matter
of checking the existence of a ref file. Perform this check using
only bash builtins to spare the overhead of fork()+exec()ing a git
process.
Also run 'git pack-refs --all' in the corresponding test to document
that the prompt script depends on 'git pack-refs' not packing
'refs/stash' and to catch possible breakages should this behavior ever
change.

When the dirty work tree and index status indicator is enabled,
__git_ps1() checks for changes in the index by running 'git diff-index
--cached --quiet HEAD --' and looking at its exit code. However, that
makes sense only when HEAD points to a valid commit: on an unborn
branch the failure of said command would be caused by the invalid
HEAD, not by changes in the index. Therefore, __git_ps1() first
checks for a valid HEAD by running 'git rev-parse --quiet --verify
HEAD'.
Since the previous patch we implicitly check HEAD's validity by
running 'git rev-parse ... --short HEAD', making the dirty status
indicator's 'git rev-parse' check redundant. It's sufficient to check
for non-emptyness of the variable holding the abbreviated commit
object name, thereby sparing the overhead of fork()+exec()ing a git
process.

When describing a detached HEAD according to the $GIT_PS1_DESCRIBE
environment variable fails, __git_ps1() now runs the '$(git rev-parse
--short HEAD)' command substitution to get the abbreviated detached
HEAD commit object name. This imposes the overhead of fork()ing a
subshell and fork()+exec()ing a git process.
Avoid this overhead by combining this command substitution with the
"main" 'git rev-parse' execution for getting the path to the .git
directory & co. This means that we'll look for the abbreviated commit
object name even when it's not necessary, because we're on a branch or
the detached HEAD can be described. It doesn't matter, however,
because once 'git rev-parse' is up and running to fulfill all those
other queries, the additional overhead of looking for the abbreviated
commit object name is not measurable because it's lost in the noise.
There is a caveat, however, when we are on an unborn branch, because
in that case HEAD doesn't point to a valid commit, hence the query for
the abbreviated commit object name fails. Therefore, '--short HEAD'
must be the last options to 'git rev-parse' in order to get all the
other necessary information for the prompt even on an unborn branch.
Furthermore, in that case, and in that case only, 'git rev-parse'
doesn't output the last line containing the abbreviated commit object
name, obviously, so we have to take care to only parse it if 'git
rev-parse' exited without any error.
Although there are tests already excercising __git_ps1() on unborn
branches, they all do so implicitly. Add a test that checks this
explicitly.

There are a couple of '$(git rev-parse --<opt>)' command substitutions
in __git_ps1() and three of them are executed in the main code path:
- the first to get the path to the .git directory ('--git-dir'),
- the second to check whether we're inside the .git directory
('--is-inside-git-dir'),
- and the last, depending on the results of the second, either
* to check whether it's a bare repo ('--is-bare-repository'), or
* to check whether inside a work tree ('--is-inside-work-tree').
Naturally, this imposes the overhead of fork()ing three subshells and
fork()+exec()ing three git commands.
Combine these four 'git rev-parse' queries into a single one and use
bash parameter expansions to parse the combined output, i.e. to
separate the path to the .git directory from the true/false of
'--is-inside-git-dir', etc. This way we can eliminate two of the
three subshells and git commands.

__git_ps1() runs the '$(git symbolic-ref HEAD)' command substitution
to find out whether we are on a branch and to find out the name of
that branch. This imposes the overhead of fork()ing a subshell and
fork()+exec()ing a git process.
Since HEAD is in most cases a single-line file and the symbolic ref
format is quite simple to recognize and parse, read and parse it using
only bash builtins, thereby sparing all that fork()+exec() overhead.
Don't display the git prompt if reading HEAD fails, because a readable
HEAD is required for a git repository. HEAD can also be a symlink

__git_ps1() finds out the path to the repository by using the
__gitdir() helper function. __gitdir() is basically just a wrapper
around 'git rev-parse --git-dir', extended with support for
recognizing a remote repository given as argument, to use the path
given on the command line, and with a few shortcuts to recognize a git
repository in cwd or at $GIT_DIR quickly without actually running 'git
rev-parse'. However, the former two is only necessary for the
completion script but makes no sense for the bash prompt, while the
latter shortcuts are performance optimizations __git_ps1() can do
without (they just avoid the overhead of fork()+exec()ing a git
process).
Run 'git rev-parse --git-dir' directly in __git_ps1(), because it will
allow this patch series to combine several $(git rev-parse ...)
command substitutions in the main code path, and the overall
performance benefit will far outweigh the loss of those few shortcuts
in __gitdir(). Furthermore, since __gitdir() is not needed anymore
for the prompt, remove it from the prompt script finally eliminating
its duplication between the prompt and completion scripts. Also
remove the comment from the completion script warning about this code
