3ce3ffb840 fix clang -Wtautological-compare with unsigned enum
Create a GREP_HEADER_FIELD_MIN so we can check that the field value is
sane and silence the clang warning.

Clang warning happens because the enum is unsigned (this is
implementation-defined, and there is no negative fields) and the check
is then tautological.

2a4552021a remote-curl: always parse incoming refs
When remote-curl receives a list of refs from a server, it
keeps the whole buffer intact. When we get a "list" command,
we feed the result to get_remote_heads, and when we get a
"fetch" or "push" command, we feed it to fetch-pack or
send-pack, respectively.

If the HTTP response from the server is truncated for any
reason, we will get an incomplete ref advertisement. If we
then feed this incomplete list to fetch-pack, one of a few
things may happen:

  1. If the truncation is in a packet header, fetch-pack
     will notice the bogus line and complain.

  2. If the truncation is inside a packet, fetch-pack will
     keep waiting for us to send the rest of the packet,
     which we never will.

  3. If the truncation is at a packet boundary, fetch-pack
     will keep waiting for us to send the next packet, which
     we never will.

As a result, fetch-pack hangs, waiting for input.  However,
remote-curl believes it has sent all of the advertisement,
and therefore waits for fetch-pack to speak. The two
processes end up in a deadlock.

We do notice the broken ref list if we feed it to
get_remote_heads. So if git asks the helper to do a "list"
followed by a "fetch", we are safe; we'll abort during the
list operation, which parses the refs.

This patch teaches remote-curl to always parse and save the
incoming ref list when we read the ref advertisement from a
server. That means that we will always verify and abort
before even running fetch-pack (or send-pack) when reading a
corrupted list, even if we do not run the "list" command
explicitly.

Since we save the result, in the common case of running
"list" then "fetch", we do not do any extra parsing at all.
In the case of just a "fetch", we do an extra round of
parsing, but only once.

Note also that the "fetch" case will now also initialize
server_capabilities from the remote (in remote-curl; we
already would do so inside fetch-pack).  Doing "list+fetch"
already does this. It doesn't actually matter now, but the
new behavior is arguably more correct, should remote-curl
ever start caring about the server's capability list.

5dbf43602d remote-curl: pass buffer straight to get_remote_heads
Until recently, get_remote_heads only knew how to read refs

Now that we can just pass it our buffer directly, we don't
have to use this hack anymore.

4981fe750b pkt-line: share buffer/descriptor reading implementation
The packet_read function reads from a descriptor. The
packet_get_line function is similar, but reads from an
in-memory buffer, and uses a completely separate
implementation. This patch teaches the generic packet_read
function to accept either source, and we can do away with
packet_get_line's implementation.

There are two other differences to account for between the
old and new functions. The first is that we used to read
into a strbuf, but now read into a fixed size buffer. The
only two callers are fine with that, and in fact it
simplifies their code, since they can use the same
static-buffer interface as the rest of the packet_read_line
callers (and we provide a similar convenience wrapper for
reading from a buffer rather than a descriptor).

This is technically an externally-visible behavior change in
that we used to accept arbitrary sized packets up to 65532
bytes, and now cap out at LARGE_PACKET_MAX, 65520. In
practice this doesn't matter, as we use it only for parsing
smart-http headers (of which there is exactly one defined,
and it is small and fixed-size). And any extension headers
would be breaking the protocol to go over LARGE_PACKET_MAX
anyway.

The other difference is that packet_get_line would return
on error rather than dying. However, both callers of
packet_get_line are actually improved by dying.

The first caller does its own error checking, but we can
drop that; as a result, we'll actually get more specific
reporting about protocol breakage when packet_read dies
internally. The only downside is that packet_read will not
print the smart-http URL that failed, but that's not a big
deal; anybody not debugging can already see the remote's URL
already, and anybody debugging would want to run with
GIT_CURL_VERBOSE anyway to see way more information.

The second caller, which is just trying to skip past any
extra smart-http headers (of which there are none defined,
but which we allow to keep room for future expansion), did
not error check at all. As a result, it would treat an error
just like a flush packet. The resulting mess would generally
cause an error later in get_remote_heads, but now we get
error reporting much closer to the source of the problem.

d020e27fda diff: Fix rename pretty-print when suffix and prefix overlap
When considering a rename for two files that have a suffix and a prefix
that can overlap, a confusing line is shown. As an example, renaming
"a/b/b/c" to "a/b/c" shows "a/b/{ => }/b/c".

Currently, what we do is calculate the common prefix ("a/b/"), and the
common suffix ("/b/c"), but the same "/b/" is actually counted both in
prefix and suffix. Then when calculating the size of the non-common part,
we end-up with a negative value which is reset to 0, thus the "{ => }".

Do not allow the common suffix to overlap the common prefix and stop
when reaching a "/" that would be in both.

Read and write each 1024 byte buffer, rather than trying to buffer
the entire content of the file.  We are only copying the contents to
a file descriptor and do not use it ourselves.

Previous code would crash on all files > 2 Gib, when the offset
variable became negative (perhaps below the level of perl),
resulting in a crash.  On a 32 bit system, or a system with low
memory it might crash before reaching 2 GiB due to memory
exhaustion.

This code may leave a partial file behind in case of failure, where
the old code would leave a completely empty file.  Neither version
verifies the correctness of the content.  Calling code must take
care of verification and cleanup.

7ec30aaa5b Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling paths
Commit 1b77d83cab 'setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks
in ceiling paths' changed the setup code to resolve symlinks in the
entries in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES.  Because those entries are
compared textually to the symlink-resolved current directory, an
entry in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES that contained a symlink would have
no effect.  It was known that this could cause performance problems
if the symlink resolution *itself* touched slow filesystems, but it
was thought that such use cases would be unlikely.  The intention of
the earlier change was to deal with a case when the user has this:

	GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/home/gitster

but in reality, /home/gitster is a symbolic link to somewhere else,
e.g. /net/machine/home4/gitster. A textual comparison between the
specified value /home/gitster and the location getcwd(3) returns
would not help us, but readlink("/home/gitster") would still be
fast.

After this change was released, Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu>
reported:

> [...] my computer has been acting so slow when I’m not connected to
> the network.  I put various network filesystem paths in
> $GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES, such as
> /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n/andersk (to avoid hitting its parents
> /afs/athena.mit.edu, /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a, and
> /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/a/n which all live in different AFS
> volumes).  Now when I’m not connected to the network, every
> invocation of Git, including the __git_ps1 in my shell prompt, waits
> for AFS to timeout.

To allow users to work around this problem, give them a mechanism to
turn off symlink resolution in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES entries.  All
the entries that follow an empty entry will not be checked for symbolic
links and used literally in comparison.  E.g. with these:

	GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=:/foo/bar:/xyzzy or
	GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=/foo/bar::/xyzzy

we will not readlink("/xyzzy") because it comes after an empty entry.

With the former (but not with the latter), "/foo/bar" comes after an
empty entry, and we will not readlink it, either.

7f1b697632 Makefile: avoid infinite loop on configure.ac change
If you are using autoconf and change the configure.ac, the
Makefile will notice that config.status is older than
configure.ac, and will attempt to rebuild and re-run the
configure script to pick up your changes. The first step in
doing so is to run "make configure". Unfortunately, this
tries to include config.mak.autogen, which depends on
config.status, which depends on configure.ac; so we must
rebuild config.status. Which leads to us running "make
configure", and so on.

It's easy to demonstrate with:

  make configure
  ./configure
  touch configure.ac
  make

We can break this cycle by not re-invoking make to build
"configure", and instead just putting its rules inline into
our config.status rebuild procedure.  We can avoid a copy by
factoring the rules into a make variable.

e42360c48e t7800: modernize tests
Eliminate a lot of redundant work by using test_config().
Catch more return codes by more use of temporary files
and test_cmp.

The original tests relied upon restore_test_defaults()
from the previous test to provide the next test with a sane
environment.  Make the tests do their own setup so that they
are not dependent on the success of the previous test.
The end result is shorter tests and better test isolation.

74543a0423 pkt-line: provide a LARGE_PACKET_MAX static buffer
Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a
static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary
binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine
in practice, because:

  1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref
     name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000
     characters.

  2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself
     to 1000 byte packets.

However, the only limit given in the protocol specification
in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is
LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in
pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write,
not as a specific limit for readers.

This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to
LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a
packet where this makes a difference, there are two good
reasons to do this:

  1. Other git implementations may have followed
     protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We
     don't bump into it in practice because it would involve
     very long ref names.

  2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day.
     Since packets are transferred before any capabilities,
     it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible
     way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can
     handle, eventually older versions of git will be
     obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the
     writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this
     anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the
     clock ticking now.

Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX
would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read
into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single
static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap
this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just
use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the
static storage.  That covers most of the cases, and the
remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX
buffers.

819b929d33 pkt-line: teach packet_read_line to chomp newlines
The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated
by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is
short, we end up doing it in a lot of places.

This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the
trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline
chomping code.

As a result, some call-sites which are not reading
line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles
alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to
the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all
of the existing callsites.

Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not
change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of
new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently
introducing an incompatibility.  However, since a later
patch in this series will change the signature, such a
commit would have to be merged directly into this commit,
not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the
issue.

This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of
behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner
case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been
able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000")
and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line
to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically,
even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says
we must not; it also says that implementations should not
send an empty pkt-line.

By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the
caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n")
the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like
a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither
empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols
(at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who
are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling
packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to
care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this
patch.  The right place to tighten would be to stop treating
empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not
make doing so any harder.

0380942902 pkt-line: provide a generic reading function with options
Originally we had a single function for reading packetized
data: packet_read_line. Commit 46284dd grew a more "gentle"
form, packet_read, that returns an error instead of dying
upon reading a truncated input stream. However, it is not
clear from the names which should be called, or what the
difference is.

Let's instead make packet_read be a generic public interface
that can take option flags, and update the single callsite
that uses it. This is less code, more clear, and paves the
way for introducing more options into the generic interface
later. The function signature is changed, so there should be
no hidden conflicts with topics in flight.

While we're at it, we'll document how error conditions are
handled based on the options, and rename the confusing
"return_line_fail" option to "gentle_on_eof".  While we are
cleaning up the names, we can drop the "return_line_fail"
checks in packet_read_internal entirely.  They look like
this:

  ret = safe_read(..., return_line_fail);
  if (return_line_fail && ret < 0)
	  ...

The check for return_line_fail is a no-op; safe_read will
only ever return an error value if return_line_fail was true
in the first place.

cdf4fb8e33 pkt-line: drop safe_write function
This is just write_or_die by another name. The one
distinction is that write_or_die will treat EPIPE specially
by suppressing error messages. That's fine, as we die by
SIGPIPE anyway (and in the off chance that it is disabled,
write_or_die will simulate it).
