When the revision code cannot parse an argument like
"HEAD:foo", it will call maybe_die_on_misspelt_object_name(),
which re-runs get_sha1() with an extra ONLY_TO_DIE flag. We
then spend more effort to generate a better error message.
Unfortunately, a side effect is that our second call may
repeat the same error messages from the original get_sha1()
call. You can see this with:
$ git show 0017
error: short SHA1 0017 is ambiguous.
error: short SHA1 0017 is ambiguous.
fatal: ambiguous argument '0017': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
where the second "error:" line comes from the ONLY_TO_DIE
call.
To fix this, we can make ONLY_TO_DIE imply QUIETLY. This is
a little odd, because the whole point of ONLY_TO_DIE is to
output error messages. But what we want to do is tell the
rest of the get_sha1() code (particularly get_sha1_1()) that
the _regular_ messages should be quiet, but the only-to-die
ones should not.

The get_sha1() family of functions takes a flags field, but
some of the flags are mutually exclusive. In particular, we
can only handle one disambiguating function, and the flags
quietly override each other. Let's instead detect these as
programming bugs.
Technically some of the flags are supersets of the others,
so treating COMMITTISH|TREEISH as just COMMITTISH is not
wrong, but it's a good sign the caller is confused. And
certainly asking for BLOB|TREE does not work.
We can do the check easily with some bit-twiddling, and as a
bonus, the bit-mask of disambiguators will come in handy in
a future patch.

When opening a loose object file, we often do this sequence:
- prepare a short buffer for the object header (on stack)
- call unpack_sha1_header() and have early part of the object data
inflated, enough to fill the buffer
- parse that data in the short buffer, assuming that the first part
of the object is <typename> SP <length> NUL
Because the parsing function parse_sha1_header_extended() is not
given the number of bytes inflated into the header buffer, it you
craft a file whose early part inflates a garbage sequence without SP
or NUL, and replace a loose object with it, it will end up reading
past the end of the inflated data.
To correct this, do the following four things:
- rename unpack_sha1_header() to unpack_sha1_short_header() and
have unpack_sha1_header_to_strbuf() keep calling that as its
helper function. This will detect and report zlib errors, but is
not aware of the format of a loose object (as before).
- introduce unpack_sha1_header() that calls the same helper
function, and when zlib reports it inflated OK into the buffer,
check if the inflated data has NUL. This would ensure that
parsing function will terminate within the buffer that holds the
inflated header.
- update unpack_sha1_header_to_strbuf() to check if the resulting
buffer has NUL for the same effect.
- update parse_sha1_header_extended() to make sure that its loop to
find the SP that terminates the <typename> stops at NUL.
Essentially, this makes unpack_*() functions that are asked to
unpack a loose object header to be a bit more strict and detect an
input that cannot possibly be a valid object header, even before the
parsing function kicks in.

Add COPY_ARRAY, a safe and convenient helper for copying arrays,
complementing ALLOC_ARRAY and REALLOC_ARRAY. Users just specify source,
destination and the number of elements; the size of an element is
inferred automatically.
It checks if the multiplication of size and element count overflows.
The inferred size is passed first to st_mult, which allows the division
there to be done at compilation time.
As a basic type safety check it makes sure the sizes of source and
destination elements are the same. That's evaluated at compilation time
as well.
COPY_ARRAY is safe to use with NULL as source pointer iff 0 elements are
to be copied. That convention is used in some cases for initializing
arrays. Raw memcpy(3) does not support it -- compilers are allowed to
assume that only valid pointers are passed to it and can optimize away
NULL checks after such a call.

The "highlight" binary can, in some cases, determine the language type
by the means of file contents, for example the shebang in the first line
for some scripting languages. Make use of this autodetection for files
which syntax is not known by gitweb. In that case, pass the blob
contents to "highlight --force"; the parameter is needed to make it
always generate HTML output (which includes HTML-escaping).
Although we now run highlight on files which do not end up highlighted,
performance is virtually unaffected because when we call highlight, it
is used for escaping HTML. In the case that highlight is used, gitweb
calls sanitize() instead of esc_html(), and the latter is significantly
slower (it does more, being roughly a superset of sanitize()). Simple
benchmark comparing performance of 'blob' view of files without syntax
highlighting in gitweb before and after this change indicates ±1%
difference in request time for all file types. Benchmark was performed
on local instance on Debian, using Apache/2.4.23 web server and CGI.
Document the feature and improve syntax highlight documentation, add
test to ensure gitweb doesn't crash when language detection is used.

The function needs_work_tree_config() that is called from
create_default_files() is supposed to be fed the path to ".git" that
looks as if it is at the top of the working tree, and decide if that
location matches the actual worktree being used. This comparison allows
"git init" to decide if core.worktree needs to be recorded in the
working tree.
In the current code, however, we feed the return value from
get_git_dir(), which can be totally different from what the function
expects when "gitdir" file is involved. Instead of giving the path to
the ".git" at the top of the working tree, we end up feeding the actual
path that the file points at.
This original location of ".git" however is only known to init_db().
Make init_db() save it and have it passed to create_default_files() as a
new parameter, which passes the correct location down to
needs_work_tree_config() to fix this.

When 'git init' is called from a linked worktree, we treat '.git'
dir (which is $GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/something) as the main
'.git' (i.e. $GIT_COMMON_DIR) and populate the whole repository skeleton
in there. It does not harm anything (*) but it is still wrong.
Since 'git init' calls set_git_dir() at preparation time, which
indirectly calls get_common_dir() and correctly detects multiple
worktree setup, all git_path_buf() calls in create_default_files() will
return correct paths in both single and multiple worktree setups. The
only thing left is copy_templates(), which targets $GIT_DIR, not
$GIT_COMMON_DIR.
Fix that with get_git_common_dir(). This function will return $GIT_DIR
in single-worktree setup, so we don't have to make a special case for
multiple-worktree here.

The MAX_IN_VAIN mechanism was introduced in commit f061e5f ("fetch-pack:
give up after getting too many "ack continue"", 2006-05-24) to stop ref
negotiation if a number of consecutive "have"s have been sent with no
corresponding new acks. This is to stop the client from digging too deep
in an irrelevant side branch in vain without ever finding a common
ancestor. A use case (as described in that commit) is the scenario in
which the local repository has more roots than the remote repository.
However, during a negotiation in which stateless RPCs are used,
MAX_IN_VAIN will (almost) never trigger (in the more-roots scenario
above and others) because in each new request, the client has to inform
the server of objects it already has and knows the server has (to remind
the server of the state), which the server then acks.
Make fetch-pack only consider, as new acks for the purpose of
MAX_IN_VAIN, acks for objects for which the client has never received an
ack before in this session.

We call getaddrinfo() to try to convert a short hostname
into a fully-qualified one (to use it as an email domain).
If there isn't a canonical name, getaddrinfo() will
generally return either a NULL addrinfo list, or one in
which ai->ai_canonname is a copy of the original name.
However, if the result of gethostname() looks like an IP
address, then getaddrinfo() behaves differently on some
systems. On OS X, it will return a "struct addrinfo" with a
NULL ai_canonname, and we segfault feeding it to strchr().
This is hard to test reliably because it involves not only a
system where we we have to fallback to gethostname() to come
up with an ident, but also where the hostname is a number
with no dots. But I was able to replicate the bug by faking
a hostname, like:

When cloning with "--recursive", we'd generally expect
submodules to show progress reports if the main clone did,
too.
In older versions of git, this mostly worked out of the
box. Since we show progress by default when stderr is a tty,
and since the child clones inherit the parent stderr, then
both processes would come to the same decision by default.
If the parent clone was asked for "--quiet", we passed down
"--quiet" to the child. However, if stderr was not a tty and
the user specified "--progress", we did not propagate this
to the child.
That's a minor bug, but things got much worse when we
switched recently to submodule--helper's update_clone
command. With that change, the stderr of the child clones
are always connected to a pipe, and we never output
progress at all.
This patch teaches git-submodule and git-submodule--helper
how to pass down an explicit "--progress" flag when cloning.
The clone command then decides to propagate that flag based
on the cloning decision made earlier (which takes into
account isatty(2) of the parent process, existing --progress
or --quiet flags, etc). Since the child processes always run
without a tty on stderr, we don't have to worry about
passing an explicit "--no-progress"; it's the default for
them.
This fixes the recent loss of progress during recursive
clones. And as a bonus, it makes:
git clone --recursive --progress ... 2>&1 | cat
work by triggering progress explicitly in the children.

The verify_packfile() does not explicitly open the packfile;
instead, it starts with a sha1 checksum over the whole pack,
and relies on use_pack() to open the packfile as a side
effect.
If the pack cannot be opened for whatever reason (either
because its header information is corrupted, or perhaps
because a simultaneous repack deleted it), then use_pack()
will die(), as it has no way to return an error. This is not
ideal, as verify_packfile() otherwise tries to gently return
an error (this lets programs like git-fsck go on to check
other packs).
Instead, let's check is_pack_valid() up front, and return an
error if it fails. This will open the pack as a side effect,
and then use_pack() will later rely on our cached
descriptor, and avoid calling die().
