Many of the scripts in the test suite write small helper
shell scripts to disk. It's best if these shell scripts
start with "#!$SHELL_PATH" rather than "#!/bin/sh", because
/bin/sh on some platforms is too buggy to be used.
However, it can be cumbersome to expand $SHELL_PATH, because
the usual recipe for writing a script is:
cat >foo.sh <<-\EOF
#!/bin/sh
echo my arguments are "$@"
EOF
To expand $SHELL_PATH, you have to either interpolate the
here-doc (which would require quoting "\$@"), or split the
creation into two commands (interpolating the $SHELL_PATH
line, but not the rest of the script). Let's provide a
helper function that makes that less syntactically painful.
While we're at it, this helper can also take care of the
"chmod +x" that typically comes after the creation of such a
script, saving the caller a line.

The current askpass code simply dies if calling an askpass
helper fails. Worse, in some failure modes it doesn't even
print an error (if start_command fails, then it prints its
own error; if reading fails, we print an error; but if the
command exits non-zero, finish_command fails and we print
nothing!).
Let's be more kind to the user by printing an error message
when askpass doesn't work out, and then falling back to the
terminal (which also may fail, of course, but we die already
there with a nice message).
While we're at it, let's clean up the existing error
messages a bit. Now that our prompts are very long and
contain quotes and colons themselves, our error messages are
hard to read.
So the new failure modes look like:
[before, with a terminal]
$ GIT_ASKPASS=false git push
$ echo $?
128
[before, with no terminal, and we must give up]
$ setsid git push
fatal: could not read 'Password for 'https://peff@github.com': ': No such device or address
[after, with a terminal]
$ GIT_ASKPASS=false git push
error: unable to read askpass response from 'false'

The do_askpass function inherited a few bad habits from the
original git_getpass. One, there's no need to strbuf_reset a
buffer which was just initialized. And two, it's a good
habit to use strbuf_detach to claim ownership of a buffer's
string (even though in this case the owning buffer goes out
of scope, so it's effectively the same thing).

Gitweb forgot to turn query parameters into UTF-8. This results in a bug
that one cannot search for a string with characters outside US-ASCII. For
example searching for "Michał Kiedrowicz" (containing letter 'ł' - LATIN
SMALL LETTER L WITH STROKE, with Unicode codepoint U+0142, represented
with 0xc5 0x82 bytes in UTF-8 and percent-encoded as %C5%82) result in the
following incorrect data in search field
MichaÅ\202 Kiedrowicz
This is caused by CGI by default treating '0xc5 0x82' bytes as two
characters in Perl legacy encoding latin-1 (iso-8859-1), because 's'
query parameter is not processed explicitly as UTF-8 encoded string.
The solution used here follows "Using Unicode in a Perl CGI script"
article on http://www.lemoda.net/cgi/perl-unicode/index.html:
use CGI;
use Encode 'decode_utf8;
my $value = params('input');
$value = decode_utf8($value);
Decoding UTF-8 is done when filling %input_params hash and $path_info
variable; the former requires to move from explicit $cgi->param(<label>)
to $input_params{<name>} in a few places, which is a good idea anyway.
Also add -override=>1 parameter to $cgi->textfield() invocation in search
form. Otherwise CGI would use values from query string if it is present,
filling value from $cgi->param... without decode_utf8(). As we are using
value of appropriate parameter anyway, -override=>1 doesn't change the
situation but makes gitweb fill search field correctly.
We could simply use the '-utf8' pragma (via "use CGI '-utf8';") to solve
this, but according to CGI.pm documentation, it may cause problems with
POST requests containing binary files, and it requires CGI 3.31 (I think),
released with perl v5.8.9.

When you specify a local repository on the command line of
clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive,
or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of
lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for
.git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos.
For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For
everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases,
there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't
handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the
same by both methods.
This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible
lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are:
1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred
a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the
bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over
"foo.git". With this patch, we do so.
2. We would select directories that existed but didn't
actually look like git repositories. With this patch,
we make sure a selected directory looks like a git
repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it
will help anybody who is negatively affected by change
(1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its
separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding
"foo.git" when they reference "foo").
3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for
"foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even
for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did
not; with this patch, they now behave the same.
In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare
repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we
continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the
"inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the
combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with
existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying
on it.

There is no reason in principle that an svn-format dump would not be
able to represent a file whose length does not fit in a 32-bit
integer. Use off_t consistently to represent file lengths (in place
of using uint32_t in some contexts) so we can handle that.
Most svn-fe code is already ready to do that without this patch and
passes values of type off_t around. The type mismatch from stragglers
was noticed with gcc -Wtype-limits.
While at it, tighten the parsing of the Text-content-length field to
make sure it is a number and does not overflow, and tighten other
overflow checks as that value is passed around and manipulated.

The low-level grep_source code will automatically load the
userdiff driver to see whether a file is binary. However,
when we are threaded, it will load the drivers in a
non-deterministic order, handling each one as its assigned
thread happens to be scheduled.
Meanwhile, the attribute lookup code (which underlies the
userdiff driver lookup) is optimized to handle paths in
sequential order (because they tend to share the same
gitattributes files). Multi-threading the lookups destroys
the locality and makes this optimization less effective.
We can fix this by pre-loading the userdiff driver in the
main thread, before we hand off the file to a worker thread.
My best-of-five for "git grep foo" on the linux-2.6
repository went from:
real 0m0.391s
user 0m1.708s
sys 0m0.584s
to:
real 0m0.360s
user 0m1.576s
sys 0m0.572s
Not a huge speedup, but it's quite easy to do. The only
trick is that we shouldn't perform this optimization if "-a"
was used, in which case we won't bother checking whether
the files are binary at all.

Usually we load each file to grep into memory, check whether
it's binary, and then either grep it (the default) or not
(if "-I" was given).
In the "-I" case, we can skip loading the file entirely if
it is marked as binary via gitattributes. On my giant
3-gigabyte media repository, doing "git grep -I foo" went
from:
real 0m0.712s
user 0m0.044s
sys 0m4.780s
to:
real 0m0.026s
user 0m0.016s
sys 0m0.020s
Obviously this is an extreme example. The repo is almost
entirely binary files, and you can see that we spent all of
our time asking the kernel to read() the data. However, with
a cold disk cache, even avoiding a few binary files can have
an impact.

There is currently no way for users to tell git-grep that a
particular path is or is not a binary file; instead, grep
always relies on its auto-detection (or the user specifying
"-a" to treat all binary-looking files like text).
This patch teaches git-grep to use the same attribute lookup
that is used by git-diff. We could add a new "grep" flag,
but that is unnecessarily complex and unlikely to be useful.
Despite the name, the "-diff" attribute (or "diff=foo" and
the associated diff.foo.binary config option) are really
about describing the contents of the path. It's simply
historical that diff was the only thing that cared about
these attributes in the past.
And if this simple approach turns out to be insufficient, we
still have a backwards-compatible path forward: we can add a
separate "grep" attribute, and fall back to respecting
"diff" if it is unset.

Right now, grep only uses the userdiff_driver for one thing:
looking up funcname patterns for "-p" and "-W". As new uses
for userdiff drivers are added to the grep code, we want to
minimize attribute lookups, which can be expensive.
It might seem at first that this would also optimize multiple
lookups when the funcname pattern for a file is needed
multiple times. However, the compiled funcname pattern is
already cached in struct grep_opt's "priv" member, so
multiple lookups are already suppressed.

Before the grep_source interface existed, grep_buffer was
used by two types of callers:
1. Ones which pulled a file into a buffer, and then wanted
to supply the file's name for the output (i.e.,
git grep).
2. Ones which really just wanted to grep a buffer (i.e.,
git log --grep).
Callers in set (1) should now be using grep_source. Callers
in set (2) always pass NULL for the "name" parameter of
grep_buffer. We can therefore get rid of this now-useless
parameter.

The grep_source interface (as opposed to grep_buffer) will
eventually gives us a richer interface for telling the
low-level grep code about our buffers. Eventually this will
lead to things like better binary-file handling. For now, it
lets us drop a lot of now-redundant code.
The conversion is mostly straight-forward. One thing to note
is that the memory ownership rules for "struct grep_source"
are different than the "struct work_item" found here (the
former will copy things like the filename, rather than
taking ownership). Therefore you will also see some slight
tweaking of when filename buffers are released.

The main interface to the low-level grep code is
grep_buffer, which takes a pointer to a buffer and a size.
This is convenient and flexible (we use it to grep commit
bodies, files on disk, and blobs by sha1), but it makes it
hard to pass extra information about what we are grepping
(either for correctness, like overriding binary
auto-detection, or for optimizations, like lazily loading
blob contents).
Instead, let's encapsulate the idea of a "grep source",
including the buffer, its size, and where the data is coming
from. This is similar to the diff_filespec structure used by
the diff code (unsurprising, since future patches will
implement some of the same optimizations found there).
The diffstat is slightly scarier than the actual patch
content. Most of the modified lines are simply replacing
access to raw variables with their counterparts that are now
in a "struct grep_source". Most of the added lines were
taken from builtin/grep.c, which partially abstracted the
idea of grep sources (for file vs sha1 sources).
Instead of dropping the now-redundant code, this patch
leaves builtin/grep.c using the traditional grep_buffer
interface (which now wraps the grep_source interface). That
makes it easy to test that there is no change of behavior
(yet).

a mutex that is local to builtin/grep.c.

The low-level grep code traditionally didn't care about
threading, as it doesn't do any threading itself and didn't
call out to other non-thread-safe code. That changed with
0579f91 (grep: enable threading with -p and -W using lazy
attribute lookup, 2011-12-12), which pushed the lookup of
funcname attributes (which is not thread-safe) into the
low-level grep code.
As a result, the low-level code learned about a new global
"grep_attr_mutex" to serialize access to the attribute code.
A multi-threaded caller (e.g., builtin/grep.c) is expected
to initialize the mutex and set "use_threads" in the
grep_opt structure. The low-level code only uses the lock if
use_threads is set.
However, putting the use_threads flag into the grep_opt
struct is not the most logical place. Whether threading is
in use is not something that matters for each call to
grep_buffer, but is instead global to the whole program
(i.e., if any thread is doing multi-threaded grep, every
other thread, even if it thinks it is doing its own
single-threaded grep, would need to use the locking). In
practice, this distinction isn't a problem for us, because
the only user of multi-threaded grep is "git-grep", which
does nothing except call grep.
This patch turns the opt->use_threads flag into a global
flag. More important than the nit-picking semantic argument
above is that this means that the locking functions don't
need to actually have access to a grep_opt to know whether
to lock. Which in turn can make adding new locks simpler, as
we don't need to pass around a grep_opt.

Use of the filter option of git_get_projects_list is currently limited
to forks. It currently assumes the project belonging to the filter
directory was already validated to be visible in the project list.
To make it more generic add an optional argument to denote visibility
verification is still needed.
If there is a projects list file (GITWEB_LIST) only projects from
this list are returned anyway, so no more checks needed.
If there is no projects list file and the caller requests strict
checking (GITWEB_STRICT_EXPORT), do not jump directly to the
given directory but instead do a normal search and filter the
results instead.
The only effect of GITWEB_STRICT_EXPORT without GITWEB_LIST is to make

project root. git_get_projects_list without this patch does not enforce
this but all callers only call it with a filter already checked this
