cd02599c48 Convert GIT_SHA1_RAWSZ used for allocation to GIT_MAX_RAWSZ
Since we will likely be introducing a new hash function at some point,
and that hash function might be longer than 20 bytes, use the constant
GIT_MAX_RAWSZ, which is designed to be suitable for allocations, instead
of GIT_SHA1_RAWSZ.  This will ease the transition down the line by
distinguishing between places where we need to allocate memory suitable
for the largest hash from those where we need to handle the current
hash.

f20754802a index-pack: make pointer-alias fallbacks safer
The final() function accepts a NULL value for certain
parameters, and falls back to writing into a reusable "name"
buffer, and then either:

  1. For "keep_name", requiring all uses to do "keep_name ?
     keep_name : name.buf". This is awkward, and it's easy
     to accidentally look at the maybe-NULL keep_name.

  2. For "final_index_name" and "final_pack_name", aliasing
     those pointers to the "name" buffer. This is easier to
     use, but the aliased pointers become invalid after the
     buffer is reused (this isn't a bug now, but it's a
     potential pitfall).

One way to make this safer would be to introduce an extra
pointer to do the aliasing, and have its lifetime match the
validity of the "name" buffer. But it's still easy to
accidentally use the wrong name (i.e., to use
"final_pack_name" instead of the aliased pointer).

Instead, let's use three separate buffers that will remain
valid through the function. That makes it safe to alias the
pointers and use them consistently. The extra allocations
shouldn't matter, as this function is not performance
sensitive.

ba47a3088f replace snprintf with odb_pack_name()
In several places we write the name of the pack filename
into a fixed-size buffer using snprintf(), but do not check
the return value.  As a result, a very long object directory
could cause us to quietly truncate the pack filename
(potentially leading to a corrupted repository, as a newly
written packfile could be missing its .pack extension).

We can use odb_pack_name() to do this with a strbuf (and
shorten the code, as well).

eaeefc3276 odb_pack_keep(): stop generating keepfile name
The odb_pack_keep() function generates the name of a .keep
file and opens it. This has two problems:

  1. It requires a fixed-size buffer to create the filename
     and doesn't notice when the result is truncated.

  2. Of the two callers, one sometimes wants to open a
     filename it already has, which makes things awkward (it
     has to do so manually, and skips the leading-directory
     creation).

Instead, let's have odb_pack_keep() just open the file.
Generating the name isn't hard, and a future patch will
switch callers over to odb_pack_name() anyway.

ffddfc6328 rev-parse: simplify parsing of ref options
All of these options do the same thing "--foo" iterates over
the "foo" refs, and "--foo=<glob>" does the same with a
glob. We can factor this into its own function to avoid
repeating ourselves.

There are two subtleties to note:

  - the original called for_each_branch_ref(), etc, in the
    non-glob case. Now we will call for_each_ref_in("refs/heads/")
    which is exactly what for_each_branch_ref() did under
    the hood.

  - for --glob, we'll call for_each_glob_ref_in() with a
    NULL "prefix" argument. Which is exactly what
    for_each_glob_ref() was doing already.

So both cases should behave identically, and it seems
reasonable to assume that this will remain the same. The
functions we are calling now are the more-generic ones, and
the ones we are dropping are just convenience wrappers.

9d16ca65bb rev-parse: add helper for parsing "--foo/--foo="
We can't just use a bare skip_prefix() for these cases,
because we need to match both the "--foo" form and the
"--foo=<value>" form (and tell the difference between the
two in the caller).

We can wrap this in a simple helper which has two obvious
callsites, and will gain some more in the next patch.

Note that the error output for abbrev-ref changes slightly,
as we don't keep our original "arg" pointer. However, the
new output should hopefully be more clear:

  [before]
  fatal: unknown mode for --abbrev-ref=foo

  [after]
  fatal: unknown mode for --abbrev-ref: foo

b16a991c1b cherry-pick: detect bogus arguments to --mainline
The cherry-pick and revert commands use OPT_INTEGER() to
parse --mainline. The stock parser is smart enough to reject
non-numeric nonsense, but it doesn't know that parent
counting starts at 1.

Worse, the value "0" is indistinguishable from the unset
case, so a user who assumes the counting is 0-based will get
a confusing message:

  $ git cherry-pick -m 0 $merge
  error: commit ... is a merge but no -m option was given.

ce83eadd9a real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die on error
In 4ac9006f83 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and
strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path())
pattern to use real_pathdup() directly.

The problem with this change is that real_path() calls
strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls
it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path()
causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent
and returns NULL instead.

The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect
the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died
with an appropriate error message).

Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the
die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(),
and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would
handle NULLs well.

6cdad1f133 receive-pack: fix deadlock when we cannot create tmpdir
The err_fd descriptor passed to the unpack() function is
intended to be handed off to the child index-pack, and our
async muxer will read until it gets EOF. However, if we
encounter an error before handing off the descriptor, we
must manually close(err_fd). Otherwise we will be waiting
for our muxer to finish, while the muxer is waiting for EOF
on err_fd.

We fixed an identical deadlock already in 49ecfa13f
(receive-pack: close sideband fd on early pack errors,
2013-04-19). But since then, the function grew a new
early-return in 722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects
until pre-receive accepts, 2016-10-03), when we fail to
create a temporary directory. This return needs the same
treatment.

fd4692ff70 checkout: restrict @-expansions when finding branch
When we parse "git checkout $NAME", we try to interpret
$NAME as a local branch-name. If it is, then we point HEAD
to that branch. Otherwise, we detach the HEAD at whatever
commit $NAME points to.

We do the interpretation by calling strbuf_branchname(), and
then blindly sticking "refs/heads/" on the front. This leads
to nonsense results when expansions like "@{upstream}" or
"@" point to something besides a local branch. We end up
with a local branch name like "refs/heads/origin/master" or
"refs/heads/HEAD".

Normally this has no user-visible effect because those
branches don't exist, and so we fallback to feeding the
result to get_sha1(), which resolves them correctly.

But as the new test in t3204 shows, there are corner cases
where the effect is observable, and we check out the wrong
local branch rather than detaching to the correct one.

0e9f62dab9 interpret_branch_name: allow callers to restrict expansions
The interpret_branch_name() function converts names like
@{-1} and @{upstream} into branch names. The expanded ref
names are not fully qualified, and may be outside of the
refs/heads/ namespace (e.g., "@" expands to "HEAD", and
"@{upstream}" is likely to be in "refs/remotes/").

This is OK for callers like dwim_ref() which are primarily
interested in resolving the resulting name, no matter where
it is. But callers like "git branch" treat the result as a
branch name in refs/heads/.  When we expand to a ref outside
that namespace, the results are very confusing (e.g., "git
branch @" tries to create refs/heads/HEAD, which is
nonsense).

Callers can't know from the returned string how the
expansion happened (e.g., did the user really ask for a
branch named "HEAD", or did we do a bogus expansion?). One
fix would be to return some out-parameters describing the
types of expansion that occurred. This has the benefit that
the caller can generate precise error messages ("I
understood @{upstream} to mean origin/master, but that is a
remote tracking branch, so you cannot create it as a local
name").

However, out-parameters make the function interface somewhat
cumbersome. Instead, let's do the opposite: let the caller
tell us which elements to expand. That's easier to pass in,
and none of the callers give more precise error messages
than "@{upstream} isn't a valid branch name" anyway (which
should be sufficient).

The strbuf_branchname() function needs a similar parameter,
as most of the callers access interpret_branch_name()
through it.

We can break the callers down into two groups:

  1. Callers that are happy with any kind of ref in the
     result. We pass "0" here, so they continue to work
     without restrictions. This includes merge_name(),
     the reflog handling in add_pending_object_with_path(),
     and substitute_branch_name(). This last is what powers
     dwim_ref().

  2. Callers that have funny corner cases (mostly in
     git-branch and git-checkout). These need to make use of

     patch, and will address them individually in follow-on
     patches.

6d167fd7cc pretty: use fmt_output_email_subject()
Add the email-style subject prefix (e.g. "Subject: [PATCH] ") directly
when it's needed instead of letting log_write_email_headers() prepare
it in a static buffer in advance.  This simplifies storage ownership and
code flow.

77d67977ca config: add git_config_get_expiry() from gc.c
This function will be used in a following commit to get the expiration
time of the shared index files from the config, and it is generic
enough to be put in "config.c".

6cc1053375 update-index: warn in case of split-index incoherency
When users are using `git update-index --(no-)split-index`, they
may expect the split-index feature to be used or not according to
the option they just used, but this might not be the case if the
new "core.splitIndex" config variable has been set. In this case
let's warn about what will happen and why.

cef4fc7ebe split-index: add {add,remove}_split_index() functions
Also use the functions in cmd_update_index() in
builtin/update-index.c.

These functions will be used in a following commit to tweak
our use of the split-index feature depending on the setting
of a configuration variable.

d1b3b81aab submodule init: warn about falling back to a local path
When a submodule is initialized, the config variable 'submodule.<name>.url'
is set depending on the value of the same variable in the .gitmodules
file. When the URL indicates to be relative, then the url is computed
relative to its default remote. The default remote cannot be determined
accurately in all cases, such that it falls back to 'origin'.

The 'origin' remote may not exist, though. In that case we give up looking
for a suitable remote and we'll just assume it to be a local relative path.

This can be confusing to users as there is a lot of guessing involved,
which is not obvious to the user.

So in the corner case of assuming a local autoritative truth, warn the
user to lessen the confusion.

This behavior was introduced in 4d6893200 (submodule add: allow relative
repository path even when no url is set, 2011-06-06), which shared the
code with submodule-init and then ported to C in 3604242f08 (submodule:
port init from shell to C, 2016-04-15).

In case of submodule-add, this behavior makes sense in some use cases[1],
however for submodule-init there does not seem to be an immediate obvious
use case to fall back to a local submodule. However there might be, so
warn instead of die here.

While adding the warning, also clarify the behavior of relative URLs in
the documentation.

[1] e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8721984/git-ignore-files-for-public-repository-but-not-for-private
"store a secret locally in a submodule, with no intention to publish it"

"git update-ref -d" and other operations to delete references did
not leave any entry in HEAD's reflog when the reference being
deleted was the current branch.  This is not a problem in practice
because you do not want to delete the branch you are currently on,
but caused renaming of the current branch to something else not to
be logged in a useful way.
