On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"

The values in struct throughput are only updated every 0.5 seconds. If

Remember the start time and show the total throughput instead.
And avoid division by zero by enforcing a minimum time span value of 1
(unit: 1/1024th of a second). That makes the resulting rate an

branch: use BRANCH_COLOR_LOCAL in ref-filter format
Since 949af0684 (branch: use ref-filter printing APIs,
2017-01-10), git-branch's output is generated by passing a
custom format to the ref-filter code. This format forgot to
pass BRANCH_COLOR_LOCAL, meaning that local branches
(besides the current one) were never colored at all.
We can add it in the %(if) block where we decide whether the
branch is "current" or merely "local". Note that this means
the current/local coloring is either/or. You can't set:
[color "branch"]
local = blue
current = bold
and expect the current branch to be "bold blue". This
matches the pre-949af0684 behavior.

branch: only perform HEAD check for local branches
When assembling the ref-filter format to show "git branch"
output, we put the "%(if)%(HEAD)" conditional at the start

whether a remote branch matches HEAD, as it never will.
The check should go inside the local conditional; we
assemble that format inside the "local" strbuf.
By itself, this is just a minor optimization. But in a
future patch, we'll need this refactoring to fix
local-branch coloring.

reflog-walk: include all fields when freeing complete_reflogs
When we encounter an error adding reflogs for a walk, we try
to free any logs we have read. But we didn't free all
fields, meaning that we could in theory leak all of the
"items" array (which would consitute the bulk of the
allocated memory).
This patch adds a helper which frees all of the entries and
uses it as appropriate.
As it turns out, the leak seems impossible to trigger with
the current code. Of the three error paths that free the
complete_reflogs struct, two only kick in when the items
array is empty, and the third was removed entirely in the
previous commit.
So this patch should be a noop in terms of behavior, but it
fixes a potential maintenance headache should anybody add a
new error path and copy the partial-free code. Which is
what happened in 5026b47175 (add_reflog_for_walk: avoid
memory leak, 2017-05-04), though its leaky call was the
third one that was recently removed.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The add_reflog_for_walk() function keeps a cache mapping
refnames to their reflog contents. We use a cached reflog
entry if available, and otherwise allocate and store a new
one.
Since 5026b47175 (add_reflog_for_walk: avoid memory leak,
2017-05-04), when we hit an error parsing a date-based
reflog spec, we free the reflog memory but leave the cache
entry pointing to the now-freed memory.
We can fix this by just leaving the memory intact once it
has made it into the cache. This may leave an unused entry
in the cache, but that's OK. And it means we also catch a
similar situation: we may not have allocated at all in this
invocation, but simply be pointing to a cached entry from a
previous invocation (which is relying on that entry being
present).
The new test in t1411 exercises this case and fails when run
with --valgrind or ASan.

reflog-walk: duplicate strings in complete_reflogs list
As part of the add_reflog_to_walk() function, we keep a
string_list mapping refnames to their reflog contents. This
serves as a cache so that accessing the same reflog twice
requires only a single copy of the log in memory.
The string_list is initialized via xcalloc, meaning its
strdup_strings field is set to 0. But after inserting a
string into the list, we unconditionally call free() on the
string, leaving the list pointing to freed memory. If
another reflog is added (e.g., "git log -g HEAD HEAD"), then
the second one may have unpredictable results.
The extra free was added by 5026b47175 (add_reflog_for_walk:
avoid memory leak, 2017-05-04). Though if you look
carefully, you can see that the code was buggy even before
then. If we tried to read the reflogs by time but came up
with no entries, we exited with an error, freeing the string
in that code path. So the bug was harder to trigger, but
still there.
We can fix it by just asking the string list to make a copy
of the string. Technically we could fix the problem by not
calling free() on our string (and just handing over
ownership to the string list), but there are enough
conditionals that it's quite hard to figure out which code
paths need the free and which do not. Simpler is better
here.
The new test reliably shows the problem when run with
--valgrind or ASAN.

reflog-walk: skip over double-null oid due to HEAD rename
Since 39ee4c6c2f (branch: record creation of renamed branch
in HEAD's log, 2017-02-20), a rename on the currently
checked out branch will create two entries in the HEAD
reflog: one where the branch goes away (switching to the
null oid), and one where it comes back (switching away from
the null oid).
This confuses the reflog-walk code. When walking backwards,
it first sees the null oid in the "old" field of the second
entry. Thanks to the "root commit" logic added by 71abeb753f
(reflog: continue walking the reflog past root commits,
2016-06-03), we keep looking for the next entry by scanning
the "new" field from the previous entry. But that field is
also null! We need to go just a tiny bit further, and look
at its "old" field. But with the current code, we decide the
reflog has nothing else to show and just give up. To the
user this looks like the reflog was truncated by the rename
operation, when in fact those entries are still there.
This patch does the absolute minimal fix, which is to look
back that one extra level and keep traversing.
The resulting behavior may not be the _best_ thing to do in
the long run (for example, we show both reflog entries each
with the same commit id), but it's a simple way to fix the
problem without risking further regressions.

It seems to be a little-known feature of `grep` (and it certainly came
as a surprise to this here developer who believed to know the Unix tools
pretty well) that multiple patterns can be passed in the same
command-line argument simply by separating them by newlines. Watch, and
learn:
That behavior also extends to patterns passed via `-e`, and it is not
modified by passing the option `-E` (but trying this with -P issues the
error "grep: the -P option only supports a single pattern").
It seems that there are more old Unix hands who are surprised by this
behavior, as grep invocations of the form
grep "$(git rev-parse A B) C" file
were introduced in a85b377d041 (push: the beginning of "git push
--signed", 2014-09-12), and later faithfully copy-edited in b9459019bbb
(push: heed user.signingkey for signed pushes, 2014-10-22).
Please note that the output of `git rev-parse A B` separates the object
IDs via *newlines*, not via spaces, and those newlines are preserved
because the interpolation is enclosed in double quotes.
As a consequence, these tests try to validate that the file contains
either A's object ID, or B's object ID followed by C, or both. Clearly,
however, what the test wanted to see is that there is a line that
contains all of them.
This is clearly unintended, and the grep invocations in question really
match too many lines.
Fix the test by avoiding the newlines in the patterns.

It may look like unnecessary work to discover the .git/ directory in the
early config machinery and then call setup_git_directory_gently() in the
case of a shell alias, repeating the very same discovery *again*.
However, we have to do this as the early config machinery takes pains
*not* to touch any global state, while shell aliases expect a possibly
changed working directory and at least the GIT_PREFIX and GIT_DIR
variables to be set.
This change also fixes a known issue where Git tried to read the pager
config from an incorrect path in a subdirectory of a Git worktree if an
alias expanded to a shell command.

t7006: demonstrate a problem with aliases in subdirectories
When expanding aliases, the git_dir is set during the alias expansion
(by virtue of running setup_git_directory_gently()).
This git_dir may be relative to the current working directory, and
indeed often is simply ".git/".
When the alias expands to a shell command, we restore the original
working directory, though, yet we do not reset git_dir.
As a consequence, subsequent read_early_config() runs will mistake the
git_dir to be populated properly and not find the correct config.
Demonstrate this problem by adding a test case.

t1308: relax the test verifying that empty alias values are disallowed
We are about to change the way aliases are expanded, to use the early
config machinery.
This machinery reports errors in a slightly different manner than the
cached config machinery.
Let's not get hung up by the precise wording of the message mentioning
the line number. It is really sufficient to verify that all the relevant
information is given to the user.

help: use early config when autocorrecting aliases
Git has this feature which suggests similar commands (including aliases)
in case the user specified an unknown command.
This feature currently relies on a side effect of the way we expand
aliases right now: when a command is not a builtin, we use the regular
config machinery (meaning: discovering the .git/ directory and
initializing global state such as the config cache) to see whether the
command refers to an alias.
However, we will change the way aliases are expanded in the next
commits, to use the early config instead. That means that the
autocorrect feature can no longer discover the available aliases by
looking at the config cache (because it has not yet been initialized).
So let's just use the early config machinery instead.
This is slightly less performant than the previous way, as the early
config is used *twice*: once to see whether the command refers to an
alias, and then to see what aliases are most similar. However, this is
hardly a performance-critical code path, so performance is less important
here.

When get_value() parses a key/value pair, it is possible that the line
number is decreased (because the \n has been consumed already) before the
key/value pair is passed to the callback function, to allow for the
correct line to be attributed in case of an error.
However, when git_parse_source() asks get_value() to parse the key/value
pair, the error reporting is performed *after* get_value() returns.
Which means that we have to be careful not to increase the line number
in get_value() after the callback function returned an error.

When discovering a .git/ directory, we take pains to ensure that its
repository format version matches Git's expectations, and we return NULL
otherwise.
However, we still appended the invalid path to the strbuf passed as
argument.
Let's just reset the strbuf to the state before we appended the .git/
directory that was eventually rejected.
There is another early return path in that function, when
setup_git_directory_gently_1() returns GIT_DIR_NONE or an error. In that
case, the gitdir parameter has not been touched, therefore there is no
need for an equivalent change in that code path.

The diff-so-fancy project is also written in perl, and most
of its users pipe diffs through both diff-highlight and
diff-so-fancy. It would be nice if this could be done in a
single script. So let's pull most of diff-highlight's code
into its own module which can be used by diff-so-fancy.
In addition, we'll abstract a few basic items like reading
from stdio so that a script using the module can do more
processing before or after diff-highlight handles the lines.
See the README update for more details.
One small downside is that the diff-highlight script must
now be built using the Makefile. There are ways around this,
but it quickly gets into perl arcana. Let's go with the
simple solution. As a bonus, our Makefile now respects the
PERL_PATH variable if it is set.
