The recent change that introduced autodecorating of refs accidentally
broke the ability of users to set log.decorate = false to override it.
When the git_log_config was traversed a second time with an option other
than log.decorate, the decoration style would be set to the automatic
style, even if the user had already overridden it. Instead of setting
the option in config parsing, set it in init_log_defaults instead.
Add a test for this case. The actual additional config option doesn't
matter, but it needs to be something not already set in the
configuration file.

In commit f6a4e61 ("push: accept push options", 2016-07-14), send-pack
was taught to include push options both within the signed cert (if the
push is a signed push) and outside the signed cert; however,
receive-pack ignores push options within the cert, only handling push
options outside the cert.
Teach receive-pack, in the case that push options are provided for a
signed push, to verify that the push options both within the cert and
outside the cert are consistent.
This sets in stone the requirement that send-pack redundantly send its
push options in 2 places, but I think that this is better than the
alternatives. Sending push options only within the cert is
backwards-incompatible with existing Git servers (which read push
options only from outside the cert), and sending push options only
outside the cert means that the push options are not signed for.

archive-tar: fix a sparse 'constant too large' warning
Commit dddbad728c ("timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps",
26-04-2017) introduced a new typedef 'timestamp_t', as a synonym for an
unsigned long, which was used at the time to represent timestamps in
git. A later commit 28f4aee3fb ("use uintmax_t for timestamps",
26-04-2017) changed the typedef to use an 'uintmax_t' for the timestamp
representation type.
When building on a 32-bit Linux system, sparse complains that a constant
(USTAR_MAX_MTIME) used to detect a 'far-future mtime' timestamp, is too
large; 'warning: constant 077777777777UL is so big it is unsigned long
long' on lines 335 and 338 of archive-tar.c. Note that both gcc and
clang only issue a warning if this constant is used in a context that
requires an 'unsigned long' (rather than an uintmax_t). (Since TIME_MAX
is no longer equal to 0xFFFFFFFF, even on a 32-bit system, the macro
USTAR_MAX_MTIME is set to 077777777777UL, which cannot be represented as
an 'unsigned long' constant).
In order to suppress the warning, change the definition of the macro
constant USTAR_MAX_MTIME to use an 'ULL' type suffix.
In a similar vein, on systems which use a 64-bit representation of the
'unsigned long' type, the USTAR_MAX_SIZE constant macro is defined with
the value 077777777777ULL. Although this does not cause any warning
messages to be issued, it would be more appropriate for this constant
to use an 'UL' type suffix rather than 'ULL'.

Replace a couple of broken links to gmane with links to other
archives. See commit 54471fdcc3 ("README: replace gmane link with
public-inbox", 2016-12-15) for prior art.
With this change there's still 4 references left in the code:
When a remote server uses git-shell, the client side will
connect to it like:
ssh server "git-upload-pack 'foo.git'"
and we literally exec ("git-upload-pack", "foo.git"). In
early versions of upload-pack and receive-pack, we took a
repository argument and nothing else. But over time they
learned to accept dashed options. If the user passes a
repository name that starts with a dash, the results are
confusing at best (we complain of a bogus option instead of
a non-existent repository) and malicious at worst (the user
can start an interactive pager via "--help").
We could pass "--" to the sub-process to make sure the
user's argument is interpreted as a branch name. I.e.:
git-upload-pack -- -foo.git
But adding "--" automatically would make us inconsistent
with a normal shell (i.e., when git-shell is not in use),
where "-foo.git" would still be an error. For that case, the
client would have to specify the "--", but they can't do so
reliably, as existing versions of git-shell do not allow
more than a single argument.
The simplest thing is to simply disallow "-" at the start of
the repo name argument. This hasn't worked either with or
without git-shell since version 1.0.0, and nobody has
complained.
Note that this patch just applies to do_generic_cmd(), which
runs upload-pack, receive-pack, and upload-archive. There
are two other types of commands that git-shell runs:
- do_cvs_cmd(), but this already restricts the argument to
be the literal string "server"
- admin-provided commands in the git-shell-commands
directory. We'll pass along arbitrary arguments there,
so these commands could have similar problems. But these
commands might actually understand dashed arguments, so
we cannot just block them here. It's up to the writer of
the commands to make sure they are safe. With great
power comes great responsibility.

As long as no existing value matches the regex ^$, that works as
intended and adds to the config. When a value is empty, though, it
replaces the existing value.
Noticed while trying to set credential.helper during a clone to use a
specific helper without inheriting from ~/.gitconfig and
/etc/gitconfig. That is, I ran
credential doc: make multiple-helper behavior more prominent
Git's configuration system works by reading multiple configuration
files in order, from general to specific:
- first, the system configuration /etc/gitconfig
- then the user's configuration (~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git/config)
- then the repository configuration (.git/config)
For single-valued configuration items, the latest value wins. For
multi-valued configuration items, values accumulate in that order.
For example, this allows setting a credential helper globally in
~/.gitconfig that git will try to use in all repositories, regardless
of whether they additionally provide another helper. This is usually
a nice thing --- e.g. I can install helpers to use my OS keychain and
to cache credentials for a short period of time globally.
Sometimes people want to be able to override an inherited setting.
For the credential.helper setting, this is done by setting the
configuration item to empty before giving it a new value. This is
already documented but the documentation is hard to find ---
git-config(1) says to look at gitcredentials(7) and the config
reference in gitcredentials(7) doesn't mention this issue.
Move the documentation to the config reference to make it easier to
find.

submodule: refactor logic to determine changed submodules
There are currently two instances (fetch and push) where we want to
determine if submodules have changed given some revision specification.
These two instances don't use the same logic to generate a list of
changed submodules and as a result there is a fair amount of code
duplication.
This patch refactors these two code paths such that they both use the
same logic to generate a list of changed submodules. This also makes it
easier for future callers to be able to reuse this logic as they only
need to create an argv_array with the revision specification to be using
during the revision walk.
