push: mention "push.default=tracking" in the documentation

Change the documentation for push.tracking=* to re-include a mention
of what "tracking" does.

The "tracking" option was renamed to "upstream" back in
53c4031 ("push.default: Rename 'tracking' to 'upstream'", 2011-02-16),
this section was then subsequently rewritten in 87a70e4 ("config doc:
rewrite push.default section", 2013-06-19) to remove any mention of
"tracking".

Maybe we should just warn or die nowadays if this option is in the
config, but I had some old config of mine use this option, I'd
forgotten that it was a synonym, and nothing in git's documentation
mentioned that.

That's bad, either we shouldn't support it at all, or we should
document what it does. This patch does the latter.

pickaxe: fix segfault with '-S<...> --pickaxe-regex'SZEDER Gábor Sat, 18 Mar 2017 18:24:08 +0000 (19:24 +0100)

pickaxe: fix segfault with '-S<...> --pickaxe-regex'

'git {log,diff,...} -S<...> --pickaxe-regex' can segfault as a result
of out-of-bounds memory reads.

diffcore-pickaxe.c:contains() looks for all matches of the given regex
in a buffer in a loop, advancing the buffer pointer to the end of the
last match in each iteration. When we switched to REG_STARTEND in
b7d36ffca (regex: use regexec_buf(), 2016-09-21), we started passing
the size of that buffer to the regexp engine, too. Unfortunately,
this buffer size is never updated on subsequent iterations, and as the
buffer pointer advances on each iteration, this "bufptr+bufsize"
points past the end of the buffer. This results in segmentation
fault, if that memory can't be accessed. In case of 'git log' it can
also result in erroneously listed commits, if the memory past the end
of buffer is accessible and happens to contain data matching the
regex.

Reduce the buffer size on each iteration as the buffer pointer is
advanced, thus maintaining the correct end of buffer location.
Furthermore, make sure that the buffer pointer is not dereferenced in
the control flow statements when we already reached the end of the
buffer.

The new test is flaky, I've never seen it fail on my Linux box even
without the fix, but this is expected according to db5dfa3 (regex:
-G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and fails,
2016-09-21). However, it did fail on Travis CI with the first (and
incomplete) version of the fix, and based on that commit message I
would expect the new test without the fix to fail most of the time on
Windows.

run-command: fix segfault when cleaning forked async process

Callers of the run-command API may mark a child as
"clean_on_exit"; it gets added to a list and killed when the
main process dies. Since commit 46df6906f
(execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death,
2017-01-06), we respect an extra "wait_after_clean" flag,
which we expect to find in the child_process struct.

When Git is built with NO_PTHREADS, we start "struct
async" processes by forking rather than spawning a thread.
The resulting processes get added to the cleanup list but
they don't have a child_process struct, and the cleanup
function ends up dereferencing NULL.

We should notice this case and assume that the processes do
not need to be waited for (i.e., the same behavior they had
before 46df6906f).

tests: make the 'test_pause' helper work in non-verbose mode

When the 'test_pause' helper function invokes the shell mid-test, it
explicitly redirects the shell's stdout and stderr to file descriptors
3 and 4, which are the stdout and stderr of the tests (i.e. where they
would be connected anyway without those redirections). These file
descriptors are only attached to the terminal in verbose mode, hence
the restriction of 'test_pause' to work only with '-v'.

Redirect the shell's stdout and stderr to the test environment's
original stdout and stderr, allowing it to work properly even in
non-verbose mode, and the restriction can be lifted.

tests: create an interactive gdb session with the 'debug' helper

The 'debug' test helper is supposed to facilitate debugging by running
a command of the test suite under gdb. Unfortunately, its usefulness
is severely limited, because that gdb session is not interactive,
since the test's, and thus gdb's standard input is redirected from
/dev/null (for a good reason, see 781f76b15 (test-lib: redirect stdin
of tests, 2011-12-15)).

Redirect gdb's standard file descriptors from/to the test
environment's stdin, stdout and stderr in the 'debug' helper, thus
creating an interactive gdb session (even in non-verbose mode), which
is much, much more useful.

index-pack: make pointer-alias fallbacks saferJeff King Thu, 16 Mar 2017 14:27:20 +0000 (10:27 -0400)

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.

replace snprintf with odb_pack_name()Jeff King Thu, 16 Mar 2017 14:27:15 +0000 (10:27 -0400)

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).

odb_pack_keep(): stop generating keepfile nameJeff King Thu, 16 Mar 2017 14:27:12 +0000 (10:27 -0400)

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.

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.

We can't just use a bare skip_prefix() for these cases,

two in the caller).

We can wrap this in a simple helper which has two obvious

Note that the error output for abbrev-ref changes slightly,
as we don't keep our original "arg" pointer. However, the

http-walker: fix buffer underflow processing remote... Jeff King Mon, 13 Mar 2017 14:04:45 +0000 (10:04 -0400)

http-walker: fix buffer underflow processing remote alternates

If we parse a remote alternates (or http-alternates), we
expect relative lines like:

../../foo.git/objects

which we convert into "$URL/../foo.git/" (and then use that
as a base for fetching more objects).

But if the remote feeds us nonsense like just:

../

we will try to blindly strip the last 7 characters, assuming
they contain the string "objects". Since we don't _have_ 7
characters at all, this results in feeding a small negative
value to strbuf_add(), which converts it to a size_t,
resulting in a big positive value. This should consistently
fail (since we can't generall allocate the max size_t minus
7 bytes), so there shouldn't be any security implications.

Let's fix this by using strbuf_strip_suffix() to drop the
characters we want. If they're not present, we'll ignore the
alternate (in theory we could use it as-is, but the rest of
the http-walker code unconditionally tacks "objects/" back
on, so it is it not prepared to handle such a case).

real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die... Johannes Schindelin Wed, 8 Mar 2017 15:43:40 +0000 (16:43 +0100)

real_pathdup(): fix callsites that wanted it to die on error

In 4ac9006f832 (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.

send-pack: read "unpack" status even on pack-objects failure

If the local pack-objects of a push fails, we'll tell the
user about it. But one likely cause is that the remote
index-pack stopped reading for some reason (because it
didn't like our input, or encountered another error). In
that case we'd expect the remote to report more details to
us via the "unpack ..." status line. However, the current
code just hangs up completely, and the user never sees it.

Instead, let's call receive_unpack_status(), which will
complain on stderr with whatever reason the remote told us.
Note that if our pack-objects fails because the connection
was severed or the remote just crashed entirely, then our
packet_read_line() call may fail with "the remote end hung
up unexpectedly". That's OK. It's a more accurate
description than what we get now (which is just "some refs
failed to push").

This should be safe from any deadlocks. At the point we make
this call we'll have closed the writing end of the
connection to the server (either by handing it off to
a pack-objects which exited, explicitly in the stateless_rpc
case, or by doing a half-duplex shutdown for a socket). So
there should be no chance that the other side is waiting
for the rest of our pack-objects input.

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

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

early-return in 722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects

line-log.c: prevent crash during union of too many... Allan Xavier Thu, 2 Mar 2017 17:29:02 +0000 (17:29 +0000)

line-log.c: prevent crash during union of too many ranges

The existing implementation of range_set_union does not correctly
reallocate memory, leading to a heap overflow when it attempts to union
more than 24 separate line ranges.

For struct range_set *out to grow correctly it must have out->nr set to
the current size of the buffer when it is passed to range_set_grow.
However, the existing implementation of range_set_union only updates
out->nr at the end of the function, meaning that it is always zero
before this. This results in range_set_grow never growing the buffer, as
well as some of the union logic itself being incorrect as !out->nr is
always true.

The reason why 24 is the limit is that the first allocation of size 1
ends up allocating a buffer of size 24 (due to the call to alloc_nr in
ALLOC_GROW). This goes some way to explain why this hasn't been
caught before.

Fix the problem by correctly updating out->nr after reallocating the
range_set. As this results in out->nr containing the same value as the
variable o, replace o with out->nr as well.

Finally, add a new test to help prevent the problem reoccurring in the
future. Thanks to Vegard Nossum for writing the test.

t/perf: add fallback for pre-bin-wrappers versions of git

It's tempting to say:

./run v1.0.0 HEAD

to see how we've sped up Git over the years. Unfortunately,
this doesn't quite work because versions of Git prior to
v1.7.0 lack bin-wrappers, so our "run" script doesn't
correctly put them in the PATH.

Worse, it means we silently find whatever other "git" is in
the PATH, and produce test results that have no bearing on
what we asked for.

Let's fallback to the main git directory when bin-wrappers
isn't present. Many modern perf scripts won't run with such
an antique version of Git, of course, but at least those
failures are detected and reported (and you're free to write

t/perf: use $MODERN_GIT for all repo-copying steps

Since 1a0962dee (t/perf: fix regression in testing older
versions of git, 2016-06-22), we point "$MODERN_GIT" to a
copy of git that matches the t/perf script itself, and which
can be used for tasks outside of the actual timings. This is
needed because the setup done by perf scripts keeps moving
forward in time, and may use features that the older
versions of git we are testing do not have.

That commit used $MODERN_GIT to fix a case where we relied
on the relatively recent --git-path option. But if you go
back further still, there are more problems.

Since 7501b5921 (perf: make the tests work in worktrees,
2016-05-13), we use "git -C", but versions of git older than
44e1e4d67 (git: run in a directory given with -C option,
2013-09-09) don't know about "-C". So testing an old version
of git with a new version of t/perf will fail the setup
step.

We can fix this by using $MODERN_GIT during the setup;
there's no need to use the antique version, since it doesn't
affect the timings. Likewise, we'll adjust the "init"
invocation; antique versions of git called this "init-db".

checkout: restrict @-expansions when finding branchJeff King Thu, 2 Mar 2017 08:23:18 +0000 (03:23 -0500)

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.

strbuf_check_ref_format(): expand only local branchesJeff King Thu, 2 Mar 2017 08:23:14 +0000 (03:23 -0500)

strbuf_check_ref_format(): expand only local branches

This function asks strbuf_branchname() to expand any @-marks
in the branchname, and then we blindly stick refs/heads/ in
front of the result. This is obviously nonsense if the
expansion is "HEAD" or a ref in refs/remotes/.

The most obvious end-user effect is that creating or
renaming a branch with an expansion may have confusing
results (e.g., creating refs/heads/origin/master from
"@{upstream}" when the operation should be disallowed).

We can fix this by telling strbuf_branchname() that we are
only interested in local expansions. Any unexpanded bits are
then fed to check_ref_format(), which either disallows them
(in the case of "@{upstream}") or lets them through
("refs/heads/@" is technically valid, if a bit silly).

branch: restrict @-expansions when deleting

We use strbuf_branchname() to expand the branch name from

deleting an oddly-named local ref instead of a remote one).

git-branch feeds the branch names from the command line to

cases.

That shows off some breakages where we currently create or
delete the wrong ref (and will make sure that we do not
break any cases that _should_ be working when we do add more
restrictions).

Note that we check branch creation and deletion, but do not
bother with renames. Those follow the same code path as
creation.

interpret_branch_name: allow callers to restrict expansionsJeff King Thu, 2 Mar 2017 08:23:01 +0000 (03:23 -0500)

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
the new parameter, but I've left them as "0" in this
patch, and will address them individually in follow-on
patches.

interpret_branch_name(): handle auto-namelen for @{-1}Jeff King Mon, 27 Feb 2017 09:25:40 +0000 (04:25 -0500)

interpret_branch_name(): handle auto-namelen for @{-1}

The interpret_branch_name() function takes a ptr/len pair
for the name, but you can pass "0" for "namelen", which will
cause it to check the length with strlen().

However, before we do that auto-namelen magic, we call
interpret_nth_prior_checkout(), which gets fed the bogus
"0". This was broken by 8cd4249c4 (interpret_branch_name:
always respect "namelen" parameter, 2014-01-15). Though to
be fair to that commit, it was broken in the _opposite_
direction before, where we would always treat "name" as a
string even if a length was passed.

You can see the bug with "git log -g @{-1}". That code path
always passes "0", and without this patch it cannot figure
out which branch's reflog to show.

We can fix it by a small reordering of the code.

diff: do not short-cut CHECK_SIZE_ONLY check in diff_populate_filespec()

Callers of diff_populate_filespec() can choose to ask only for the
size of the blob without grabbing the blob data, and the function,
after running lstat() when the filespec points at a working tree
file, returns by copying the value in size field of the stat
structure into the size field of the filespec when this is the case.

However, this short-cut cannot be taken if the contents from the
path needs to go through convert_to_git(), whose resulting real blob
data may be different from what is in the working tree file.

As "git diff --quiet" compares the .size fields of filespec
structures to skip content comparison, this bug manifests as a
false "there are differences" for a file that needs eol conversion,
for example.

add--interactive: fix missing file prompt for patch... Jeff King Thu, 2 Mar 2017 09:48:22 +0000 (04:48 -0500)

add--interactive: fix missing file prompt for patch mode with "-i"

When invoked as "git add -i", each menu interactive menu
option prompts the user to select a list of files. This
includes the "patch" option, which gets the list before
starting the hunk-selection loop.

As "git add -p", it behaves differently, and jumps straight
to the hunk selection loop.

Since 0539d5e6d (i18n: add--interactive: mark patch prompt
for translation, 2016-12-14), the "add -i" case mistakenly
jumps to straight to the hunk-selection loop. Prior to that
commit the distinction between the two cases was managed by
the $patch_mode variable. That commit used $patch_mode for
something else, and moved the old meaning to the "$cmd"
variable. But it forgot to update the $patch_mode check
inside patch_update_cmd() which controls the file-list
behavior.

The simplest fix would be to change that line to check $cmd.
But while we're here, let's use a less obscure name for this
flag: $patch_mode_only, a boolean which tells whether we are
in full-interactive mode or only in patch-mode.

http: attempt updating base URL only if no errorJonathan Tan Tue, 28 Feb 2017 02:53:11 +0000 (18:53 -0800)

http: attempt updating base URL only if no error

http.c supports HTTP redirects of the form

http://foo/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
-> http://anything
-> http://bar/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack

(that is to say, as long as the Git part of the path and the query
string is preserved in the final redirect destination, the intermediate
steps can have any URL). However, if one of the intermediate steps
results in an HTTP exception, a confusing "unable to update url base
from redirection" message is printed instead of a Curl error message
with the HTTP exception code.

This was introduced by 2 commits. Commit c93c92f ("http: update base
URLs when we see redirects", 2013-09-28) introduced a best-effort
optimization that required checking if only the "base" part of the URL
differed between the initial request and the final redirect destination,
but it performed the check before any HTTP status checking was done. If
something went wrong, the normal code path was still followed, so this
did not cause any confusing error messages until commit 6628eb4 ("http:
always update the base URL for redirects", 2016-12-06), which taught
http to die if the non-"base" part of the URL differed.

Therefore, teach http to check the HTTP status before attempting to
check if only the "base" part of the URL differed. This commit teaches
http_request_reauth to return early without updating options->base_url
upon an error; the only invoker of this function that passes a non-NULL
"options" is remote-curl.c (through "http_get_strbuf"), which only uses
options->base_url for an informational message in the situations that
this commit cares about (that is, when the return value is not HTTP_OK).

The included test checks that the redirect scheme at the beginning of
this commit message works, and that returning a 502 in the middle of the
redirect scheme produces the correct result. Note that this is different
from the test in commit 6628eb4 ("http: always update the base URL for
redirects", 2016-12-06) in that this commit tests that a Git-shaped URL
(http://.../info/refs?service=git-upload-pack) works, whereas commit
6628eb4 tests that a non-Git-shaped URL
(http://.../info/refs/foo?service=git-upload-pack) does not work (even
though Git is processing that URL) and is an error that is fatal, not
silently swallowed.

docs/diffcore: unquote "Complete Rewrites" in headers

The gitdiffcore documentation quotes the term "Complete Rewrites" in
headers for no real gain. This would make sense if the term could be
easily confused if not properly grouped together. But actually, the term
is quite obvious and thus does not really need any quoting, especially
regarding that it is not used anywhere else.

But more importanly, this brings up a bug when rendering man pages: when
trying to render quotes inside of a section header, we end up with
quotes which have been misaligned to the end of line. E.g.

diffcore-break: For Splitting Up Complete Rewrites
--------------------------------------------------

renders as

DIFFCORE-BREAK: FOR SPLITTING UP COMPLETE REWRITES""

, which is obviously wrong. While this is fixable for the man pages by
using double-quotes (e.g. ""COMPLETE REWRITES""), this again breaks it
for our generated HTML pages.

So fix the issue by simply dropping quotes inside of section headers,
which is currently only done for the term "Complete Rewrites".
