fetch-pack: do not reset in_vain on non-novel acks
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.

There are certain house-keeping tasks that need to be performed at
the very beginning of any Git program, and programs that are not
built-in commands had to do them exactly the same way as "git"
potty does. It was easy to make mistakes in one-off standalone
programs (like test helpers). A common "main()" function that
calls cmd_main() of individual program has been introduced to
make it harder to make mistakes.

When `len < 1`, len has to be 0 or negative, emit_line will then remove the
first character and by then `len` would be negative. As this doesn't
happen, it is safe to assume it is dead code.
This continues to simplify the code, which was started in b8d9c1a66b
(2009-09-03, diff.c: the builtin_diff() deals with only two-file
comparison).

We might wonder why our && chain check does not catch this case:
The && chain check uses a strange exit code with the expectation that
the second or later part of a broken && chain would not exit with this
particular code.
This expectation does not work in this case because __git_ps1, being
the first command in the second part of the broken && chain, records
the current exit code, does its work, and finally returns to the caller
with the recorded exit code. This fools our && chain check.

If you delete the symbolic-ref HEAD from a repository, Git no longer
considers the repository valid, and even "git symbolic-ref HEAD
refs/heads/master" would not be able to recover from that state
(although "git init" can, but that is a sure sign that you are
talking about a "broken" repository).
In the spirit similar to afe5d3d5 ("symbolic ref: refuse non-ref
targets in HEAD", 2009-01-29), forbid removal of HEAD to avoid
corrupting a repository.
submodule: avoid auto-discovery in prepare_submodule_repo_env()
The function is used to set up the environment variable used in a
subprocess we spawn in a submodule directory. The callers set up a
child_process structure, find the working tree path of one submodule
and set .dir field to it, and then use start_command() API to spawn
the subprocess like "status", "fetch", etc.
When this happens, we expect that the ".git" (either a directory or
a gitfile that points at the real location) in the current working
directory of the subprocess MUST be the repository for the submodule.
If this ".git" thing is a corrupt repository, however, because
prepare_submodule_repo_env() unsets GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE, the
subprocess will see ".git", thinks it is not a repository, and
attempt to find one by going up, likely to end up in finding the
repository of the superproject. In some codepaths, this will cause
a command run with the "--recurse-submodules" option to recurse
forever.
By exporting GIT_DIR=.git, disable the auto-discovery logic in the
subprocess, which would instead stop it and report an error.
The test illustrates existing problems in a few callsites of this
function. Without this fix, "git fetch --recurse-submodules", "git
status" and "git diff" keep recursing forever.
Compiling color.c with gcc 6.2.0 using -O3 produces some
-Wmaybe-uninitialized false positives:
color.c: In function ‘color_parse_mem’:
color.c:189:10: warning: ‘bg.blue’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
out += xsnprintf(out, len, "%c8;2;%d;%d;%d", type,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c->red, c->green, c->blue);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
color.c:208:15: note: ‘bg.blue’ was declared here
struct color bg = { COLOR_UNSPECIFIED };
^~
[ditto for bg.green, bg.red, fg.blue, etc]
This is doubly confusing, because the declaration shows it
being initialized! Even though we do not explicitly
initialize the color components, an incomplete initializer
sets the unmentioned members to zero.
What the warning doesn't show is that we later do this:
struct color c;
if (!parse_color(&c, ...)) {
if (fg.type == COLOR_UNSPECIFIED)
fg = c;
...
}
gcc is clever enough to realize that a struct assignment
from an uninitialized variable taints the destination. But
unfortunately it's _not_ clever enough to realize that we
only look at those members when type is set to COLOR_RGB, in
which case they are always initialized.
With -O2, gcc does not look into parse_color() and must
assume that "c" emerges fully initialized. With -O3, it
inlines parse_color(), and learns just enough to get
confused.
We can silence the false positive by initializing the
temporary "c". This also future-proofs us against
violating the type assumptions (the result would probably
still be buggy, but in a deterministic way).

error_errno: use constant return similar to error()
Commit e208f9c (make error()'s constant return value more
visible, 2012-12-15) introduced some macro trickery to make
the constant return from error() more visible to callers,
which in turn can help gcc produce better warnings (and
possibly even better code).
Later, fd1d672 (usage.c: add warning_errno() and
error_errno(), 2016-05-08) introduced another variant, and
subsequent commits converted some uses of error() to
error_errno(), losing the magic from e208f9c for those
sites.
As a result, compiling vcs-svn/svndiff.c with "gcc -O3"
produces -Wmaybe-uninitialized false positives (at least
with gcc 6.2.0). Let's give error_errno() the same
treatment, which silences these warnings.

The algorithm in diff-highlight only understands how to look
at two sides of a diff; it cannot correctly handle combined
diffs with multiple preimages. Often highlighting does not
trigger at all for these diffs because the line counts do
not match up. E.g., if we see:
- ours
-theirs
++resolved
we would not bother highlighting; it naively looks like a
single line went away, and then a separate hunk added
another single line.
But of course there are exceptions. E.g., if the other side
deleted the line, we might see:
- ours
++resolved
which looks like we dropped " ours" and added "+resolved".
This is only a small highlighting glitch (we highlight the
space and the "+" along with the content), but it's also the
tip of the iceberg. Even if we learned to find the true
content here (by noticing we are in a 3-way combined diff
and marking _two_ characters from the front of the line as
uninteresting), there are other more complicated cases where
we really do need to handle a 3-way hunk.
Let's just punt for now; we can recognize combined diffs by
the presence of extra "@" symbols in the hunk header, and
treat them as non-diff content.

Now that we have a test suite for diff highlight, we can
show off the improvements from 8d00662 (diff-highlight: do
not split multibyte characters, 2015-04-03).
While we're at it, we can also add another case that
_doesn't_ work: combining code points are treated as their
own unit, which means that we may stick colors between them
and the character they are modifying (with the result that
the color is not shown in an xterm, though it's possible
that other terminals err the other way, and show the color
but not the accent). There's no fix here, but let's
document it as a failure.

Each test run generates a "count" file in t/test-results
that stores the number of successful, failed, etc tests.
If you run "t1234-foo.sh", that file is named as
"t/test-results/t1234-foo-$$.count"
The addition of the PID there is serving no purpose, and
makes analysis of the count files harder.
The presence of the PID dates back to 2d84e9f (Modify
test-lib.sh to output stats to t/test-results/*,
2008-06-08), but no reasoning is given there. Looking at the
current code, we can see that other files we write to
test-results (like *.exit and *.out) do _not_ have the PID
included. So the presence of the PID does not meaningfully
allow one to store the results from multiple runs anyway.
Moreover, anybody wishing to read the *.count files to
aggregate results has to deal with the presence of multiple
files for a given test (and figure out which one is the most
recent based on their timestamps!). The only consumer of
these files is the aggregate.sh script, which arguably gets
this wrong. If a test is run multiple times, its counts will
appear multiple times in the total (I say arguably only
because the desired semantics aren't documented anywhere,
but I have trouble seeing how this behavior could be
useful).
So let's just drop the PID, which fixes aggregate.sh, and
will make new features based around the count files easier
to write.
Note that since the count-file may already exist (when
re-running a test), we also switch the "cat" from appending
to truncating. The use of append here was pointless in the
first place, as we expected to always write to a unique file.

Since 3b75ee9 ("blame: allow to blame paths freshly added to the index",
2016-07-16) git blame also looks at the index to determine if there is a
file that was freshly added to the index.
cache_name_pos returns -pos - 1 in case there is no match is found, or
if the name matches, but the entry has a stage other than 0. As git
blame should work for unmerged files, it uses strcmp to determine
whether the name of the returned position matches, in which case the
file exists, but is merely unmerged, or if the file actually doesn't
exist in the index.
If the repository is empty, or if the file would lexicographically be
sorted as the last file in the repository, -cache_name_pos - 1 is
outside of the length of the active_cache array, causing git blame to
segfault. Guard against that, and die() normally to restore the old
behaviour.
