- You should not be able to tell if a file in a directory exists if
the directory lacks read or execute permission bits.
We used to cheat by approximating that condition with "is the /
writable?" test and/or "are we running as root?" test. Neither test
is sufficient or appropriate in environments like Cygwin.

The decimal_width function originally appeared in blame.c as
"lineno_width", and was designed for calculating the
print-width of small-ish integer values (line numbers in
text files). In ec7ff5b, it was made into a reusable
function, and in dc801e7, we started using it to align
diffstats.
Binary files in a diffstat show byte counts rather than line
numbers, meaning they can be quite large (e.g., consider
adding or removing a 2GB file). decimal_width is not up to
the challenge for two reasons:
1. It takes the value as an "int", whereas large files may
easily surpass this. The value may be truncated, in
which case we will produce an incorrect value.
2. It counts "up" by repeatedly multiplying another
integer by 10 until it surpasses the value. This can
cause an infinite loop when the value is close to the
largest representable integer.
For example, consider using a 32-bit signed integer,
and a value of 2,140,000,000 (just shy of 2^31-1).
We will count up and eventually see that 1,000,000,000
is smaller than our value. The next step would be to
multiply by 10 and see that 10,000,000,000 is too
large, ending the loop. But we can't represent that
value, and we have signed overflow.
This is technically undefined behavior, but a common
behavior is to lose the high bits, in which case our
iterator will certainly be less than the number. So
we'll keep multiplying, overflow again, and so on.
This patch changes the argument to a uintmax_t (the same
type we use to store the diffstat information for binary
filese), and counts "down" by repeatedly dividing our value
by 10.

because C and R _were_ the only ones that came with a number back
then. This was corrected by ddafa7e9 (diff-helper: Fix R/C score
parsing under -z flag., 2005-05-29) and we started saying "score"
instead of "similarlity index" (because we can have other kind of
score there), and stopped saying "only for C and R" (because Git is
an ever evolving system). Later f345b0a0 (Add -B flag to diff-*

score; it did not have to fix any documentation.

dumb-http: do not pass NULL path to parse_pack_index
Once upon a time, dumb http always fetched .idx files
directly into their final location, and then checked their
validity with parse_pack_index. This was refactored in
commit 750ef42 (http-fetch: Use temporary files for
pack-*.idx until verified, 2010-04-19), which uses the
following logic:
1. If we have the idx already in place, see if it's
valid (using parse_pack_index). If so, use it.
2. Otherwise, fetch the .idx to a tempfile, check
that, and if so move it into place.
3. Either way, fetch the pack itself if necessary.
However, it got step 1 wrong. We pass a NULL path parameter
to parse_pack_index, so an existing .idx file always looks
broken. Worse, we do not treat this broken .idx as an
opportunity to re-fetch, but instead return an error,
ignoring the pack entirely. This can lead to a dumb-http
fetch failing to retrieve the necessary objects.
This doesn't come up much in practice, because it must be a
packfile that we found out about (and whose .idx we stored)
during an earlier dumb-http fetch, but whose packfile we
_didn't_ fetch. I.e., we did a partial clone of a
repository, didn't need some packfiles, and now a followup
fetch needs them.

If an --author argument is specified but does not contain a '>' then git tries
to find the argument within the existing authors; and gives the error
message "No existing author found with '%s'" if there is no match.
This is confusing for users who try to specify a valid complete author
name.
Rename the error message to make it clearer that the failure has two
reasons in this case.

cannot be a completely wellformed author ident.)

add -i: return from list_and_choose if there is no candidate
The list_and_choose() helper is given a prompt and a list, asks the
user to make selection from the list, and then returns a list of
items chosen. Even when it is given an empty list as the original
candidate set to choose from, it gave a prompt to the user, who can
only say "I am done choosing".
Return an empty result when the input is an empty list without
bothering the user. The existing caller must already have a logic
to say "Nothing to do" or an equivalent when the returned list is
empty (i.e. the user chose to select nothing) if it is necessary, so
no change to the callers is necessary.
This fixes the case where "add untracked" is asked in "git add -i"
and there is no untracked files in the working tree. We used to give
an empty list of files to choose from with a prompt, but with this
change, we no longer do.

Under --whitespace=fix option, match_fragment() function examines
the preimage (the common context and the removed lines in the patch)
and the file being patched and checks if they match after correcting
all whitespace errors. When they are found to match, the common
context lines in the preimage is replaced with the fixed copy,
because these lines will then be copied to the corresponding place
in the postimage by a later call to update_pre_post_images(). Lines
that are added in the postimage, under --whitespace=fix, have their
whitespace errors already fixed when apply_one_fragment() prepares
the preimage and the postimage, so in the end, application of the
patch can be done by replacing the block of text in the file being
patched that matched the preimage with what is in the postimage that
was updated by update_pre_post_images().
In the earlier days, fixing whitespace errors always resulted in
reduction of size, either collapsing runs of spaces in the indent to
a tab or removing the trailing whitespaces. These days, however,
some whitespace error fix results in extending the size.
250b3c6c (apply --whitespace=fix: avoid running over the postimage
buffer, 2013-03-22) tried to compute the final postimage size but
its math was flawed. It counted the size of the block of text in
the original being patched after fixing the whitespace errors on its
lines that correspond to the preimage. That number does not have
much to do with how big the final postimage would be.
Instead count (1) the added lines in the postimage, whose size is
the same as in the final patch result because their whitespace
errors have already been corrected, and (2) the fixed size of the
lines that are common.
apply: make update_pre_post_images() sanity check the given postlen
"git apply --whitespace=fix" used to be able to assume that fixing
errors will always reduce the size by e.g. stripping whitespaces at
the end of lines or collapsing runs of spaces into tabs at the
beginning of lines. An update to accomodate fixes that lengthens
the result by e.g. expanding leading tabs into spaces were made long
time ago but the logic miscounted the necessary space after such
whitespace fixes, leading to either under-allocation or over-usage
of already allocated space.
Illustrate this with a runtime sanity-check to protect us from
future breakage. The test was stolen from Kyle McKay who helped
to identify the problem.

rebase -i: use full object name internally throughout the script
In earlier days, the abbreviated commit object name shown to the end

These days, we try to use the full 40-hex object names internally to
avoid ambiguity that can arise after rebase starts running. Newly
created objects during the rebase may share the same prefix with
existing commits listed in the insn sheet. These object names are
shortened just before invoking the sequence editor to present the
insn sheet to the end user, and then expanded back to full object
names when the editor returns.
But the code still used the shortened names when preparing the insn
sheet for the very first time, resulting "7 hexdigits or more"
output to the user. Change the code to use full 40-hex commit
object names from the very beginning to make things more uniform.

transport-helper: do not request symbolic refs to remote helpers
A typical remote helper will return a `list` of refs containing a symbolic
ref HEAD, pointing to, e.g. refs/heads/master. In the case of a clone, all
the refs are being requested through `fetch` or `import`, including the
symbolic ref.
While this works properly, in some cases of a fetch, like `git fetch url`
or `git fetch origin HEAD`, or any fetch command involving a symbolic ref
without also fetching the corresponding ref it points to, the fetch command
fails with:
(in the case the remote helper returned '?' values to the `list` command).
This is because there is only one ref given to fetch(), and it's not
further resolved to something at the end of fetch_with_import().
While this can be somehow handled in the remote helper itself, by adding
a refspec for the symbolic ref, and storing an explicit ref in a private
namespace, and then handling the `import` for that symbolic ref
specifically, very few existing remote helpers are actually doing that.
So, instead of requesting the exact list of wanted refs to remote helpers,
treat symbolic refs differently and request the ref they point to instead.
Then, resolve the symbolic refs values based on the pointed ref.
This assumes there is no more than one level of indirection (a symbolic
ref doesn't point to another symbolic ref).

POSIXPERM requires that a later call to stat(2) (hence "ls -l")
faithfully reproduces what an earlier chmod(2) did. Some
filesystems cannot satisify this.
SANITY requires that a file or a directory is indeed accessible (or
inaccessible) when its permission bits would say it ought to be
accessible (or inaccessible). Running tests as root would lose this
prerequisite for obvious reasons.
Fix a few tests that misuse POSIXPERM.
t0061-run-command.sh has two uses of POSIXPERM.
- One checks that an attempt to execute a file that is marked as
unexecutable results in a failure with EACCES; I do not think
having root-ness or any other capability that busts the
filesystem permission mode bits will make you run an unexecutable
file, so this should be left as-is. The test does not have
anything to do with SANITY.
- The other one expects 'git nitfol' runs the alias when an
alias.nitfol is defined and a directory on the PATH is marked as
unreadable and unsearchable. I _think_ the test tries to reject
the alternative expectation that we want to refuse to run the
alias because it would break "no alias may mask a command" rule
if a file 'git-nitfol' exists in the unreadable directory but we
cannot even determine if that is the case. Under !SANITY that
busts the permission bits, this test no longer checks that, so it
must be protected with SANITY.
t1509-root-worktree.sh expects to be run on a / that is writable by
the user and sees if Git behaves "sensibly" when /.git is the
repository to govern a worktree that is the whole filesystem, and
also if Git behaves "sensibly" when / itself is a bare repository
with refs, objects, and friends (I find the definition of "behaves
sensibly" under these conditions hard to fathom, but it is a
different matter).
The implementation of the test is very much problematic.
- It requires POSIXPERM, but it does not do chmod or checks modes
in any way.
- It runs "rm /*" and "rm -fr /refs /objects ..." in one of the
tests, and also does "cd / && git init --bare". If done on a
live system that takes advantages of the "feature" being tested,
these obviously will clobber the system. But there is no guard
against such a breakage.
- It uses "test $UID = 0" to see rootness, which now should be
spelled "! test_have_prereq NOT_ROOT"
The SANITY prerequisite is really about whether the
filesystem will respect the permissions we set, and being
root is only one part of that. But the httpd tests really
just care about not being root, as they are trying to avoid
weirdness in apache (see a1a3011 for details).
Let's switch out SANITY for a new NOT_ROOT prerequisite,
which will let us tweak SANITY more freely.
We implement NOT_ROOT by checking `id -u`, which is in POSIX
and seems to be available even on MSYS. Note that we cannot
just call this "ROOT" and ask for "!ROOT". The possible
outcomes are:
1. we know we are root
2. we know we are not root
3. we could not tell, because `id` was not available
We should conservatively treat (3) as "does not have the
prerequisite", which means that a naive negation would not
work.

For some unknown reason, the dd on my Windows box segfaults randomly,
but since recently, it does so much more often than it used to, which
makes running the test suite burdensome.
Use printf to write large files instead of dd. To emphasize that three
of the large blobs are exact copies, use cp to allocate them.
The new code makes the files a bit smaller, and they are not sparse
anymore, but the tests do not depend on these properties. We do not want
to use test-genrandom here (which is used to generate large files
elsewhere in t1050), so that the files can be compressed well (which
keeps the run-time short).
The files are now large text files, not binary files. But since they
are larger than core.bigfilethreshold they are diagnosed as binary
by Git. For this reason, the 'git diff' tests that check the output
for "Binary files differ" still pass.
