docs/git-gc: fix default value for `--aggressiveDepth`
In commit 07e7dbf0d (gc: default aggressive depth to 50, 2016-08-11),
the default aggressive depth of git-gc has been changed to 50. While
git-config(1) has been updated to represent the new default value,
git-gc(1) still mentions the old value. This patch fixes it.

config: use git_config_parse_key() in git_config_parse_parameter()
The parsing of one-shot assignments of configuration variables that
come from the command line historically was quite loose and allowed
anything to pass. It also downcased everything in the variable name,
even a three-level <section>.<subsection>.<variable> name in which
the <subsection> part must be treated in a case sensitive manner.
Existing git_config_parse_key() helper is used to parse the variable
name that comes from the command line, i.e. "git config VAR VAL",
and handles these details correctly. Replace the strbuf_tolower()
call in git_config_parse_parameter() with a call to it to correct
both issues. git_config_parse_key() does a bit more things that are
not necessary for the purpose of this codepath (e.g. it allocates a
separate buffer to return the canonicalized variable name because it
takes a "const char *" input), but we are not in a performance-critical
codepath here.
git_config_parse_key() implements the validation and downcasing of
<section> and <variable> in "<section>[.<subsection>].<variable>"
configuration variable name. Move it (and helpers it uses) a bit up
so that it can be used by git_config_parse_parameter(), which is
used to check configuration settings that are given on the command
line (i.e. "git -c VAR=VAL cmd"), in a later patch.
When we read user.name and user.email from a config file,
they go into strbufs. When a caller asks ident_default_name()
for the value, we fallback to auto-detecting if the strbuf
is empty.
That means that explicitly setting an empty string in the
config is identical to not setting it at all. This is
potentially confusing, as we usually accept a configured
value as the final value.

An ident name consisting of only "crud" characters (like
whitespace or punctuation) is effectively the same as an
empty one, because our strbuf_addstr_without_crud() will
remove those characters.
We reject an empty name when formatting a strict ident, but
don't notice an all-crud one because our check happens
before the crud-removal step.
We could skip past the crud before checking for an empty
name, but let's make it a separate code path, for two
reasons. One is that we can give a more specific error
message. And two is that unlike a blank name, we probably
don't want to kick in the fallback-to-username behavior.

ident: handle NULL email when complaining of empty name
If we see an empty name, we complain about and mention the
matching email in the error message (to give it some
context). However, the "email" pointer may be NULL here if
we were planning to fill it in later from ident_default_email().
This was broken by 59f929596 (fmt_ident: refactor strictness
checks, 2016-02-04). Prior to that commit, we would look up
the default name and email before doing any other actions.
So one solution would be to go back to that.
However, we can't just do so blindly. The logic for handling
the "!email" condition has grown since then. In particular,
looking up the default email can die if getpwuid() fails,
but there are other errors that should take precedence.
Commit 734c7789a (ident: check for useConfigOnly before
auto-detection of name/email, 2016-03-30) reordered the
checks so that we prefer the error message for
useConfigOnly.
Instead, we can observe that while the name-handling depends
on "email" being set, the reverse is not true. So we can
simply set up the email variable first.
This does mean that if both are bogus, we'll complain about
the email before the name. But between the two, there is no
reason to prefer one over the other.

http: restrict auth methods to what the server advertises
By default, we tell curl to use CURLAUTH_ANY, which does not
limit its set of auth methods. However, this results in an
extra round-trip to the server when authentication is
required. After we've fed the credential to curl, it wants
to probe the server to find its list of available methods
before sending an Authorization header.
We can shortcut this by limiting our http_auth_methods by
what the server told us it supports. In some cases (such as
when the server only supports Basic), that lets curl skip
the extra probe request.
The end result should look the same to the user, but you can
use GIT_TRACE_CURL to verify the sequence of requests:
Before this patch, hitting a Basic-only server like
github.com results in:
Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Send header: Authorization: Basic <redacted>
Recv header: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
And after:
Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Authorization Required
Send header: GET /repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
Send header: Authorization: Basic <redacted>
Recv header: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
The possible downsides are:
- This only helps for a Basic-only server; for a server
with multiple auth options, curl may still send a probe
request to see which ones are available (IOW, there's no
way to say "don't probe, I already know what the server
will say").
- The http_auth_methods variable is global, so this will
apply to all further requests. That's acceptable for
Git's usage of curl, though, which also treats the
credentials as global. I.e., in any given program
invocation we hit only one conceptual server (we may be
redirected at the outset, but in that case that's whose
auth_avail field we'd see).

branch: record creation of renamed branch in HEAD's log
Renaming the current branch adds an event to the current branch's log
and to HEAD's log. However, the logged entries differ. The entry in
the branch's log represents the entire renaming operation (the old and
new hash are identical), whereas the entry in HEAD's log represents
the deletion only (the new sha1 is null).
Extend replace_each_worktree_head_symref(), whose only caller is
branch_rename(), to take a reflog message argument. This allows the
creation of the new ref to be recorded in HEAD's log. As a result,
the renaming event is represented by two entries (a deletion and a
creation entry) in HEAD's log.
It's a bit unfortunate that the branch's log and HEAD's log now
represent the renaming event in different ways. Given that the
renaming operation is not atomic, the two-entry form is a more
accurate representation of the operation and is more useful for
debugging purposes if a failure occurs between the deletion and
creation events. It would make sense to move the branch's log to the
two-entry form, but this would involve changes to how the rename is
carried out and to how the update flags and reflogs are processed for
deletions, so it may not be worth the effort.

When the current branch is renamed with 'git branch -m/-M' or deleted
with 'git update-ref -m<msg> -d', the event is recorded in HEAD's log
with an empty message. In preparation for adding a more meaningful
message to HEAD's log in these cases, update delete_ref() to take a
message argument and pass it along to ref_transaction_delete().
Modify all callers to pass NULL for the new message argument; no
change in behavior is intended.
Note that this is relevant for HEAD's log but not for the deleted
ref's log, which is currently deleted along with the ref. Even if it
were not, an entry for the deletion wouldn't be present in the deleted
ref's log. files_transaction_commit() writes to the log if
REF_NEEDS_COMMIT or REF_LOG_ONLY are set, but lock_ref_for_update()
doesn't set REF_NEEDS_COMMIT for the deleted ref because REF_DELETING
is set. In contrast, the update for HEAD has REF_LOG_ONLY set by
split_head_update(), resulting in the deletion being logged.

tempfile: set errno to a known value before calling ferror()
In close_tempfile(), we return an error if ferror()
indicated a previous failure, or if fclose() failed. In the
latter case, errno is set and it is useful for callers to
report it.
However, if _only_ ferror() triggers, then the value of
errno is based on whatever syscall happened to last fail,
which may not be related to our filehandle at all. A caller
cannot tell the difference between the two cases, and may
use "die_errno()" or similar to report a nonsense errno value.
One solution would be to actually pass back separate return
values for the two cases, so a caller can write a more
appropriate message for each case. But that makes the
interface clunky.
Instead, let's just set errno to the generic EIO in this case.
That's not as descriptive as we'd like, but at least it's
predictable. So it's better than the status quo in all cases
but one: when the last syscall really did involve a failure
on our filehandle, we'll be wiping that out. But that's a
fragile thing for us to rely on.
In any case, we'll let the errno result from fclose() take
precedence over our value, as we know that's recent and
accurate (and many I/O errors will persist through the
fclose anyway).

rev-parse: fix several options when running in a subdirectory
In addition to making git_path() aware of certain file names that need
to be handled differently e.g. when running in worktrees, the commit 557bd833bb (git_path(): be aware of file relocation in $GIT_DIR,
2014-11-30) also snuck in a new option for `git rev-parse`:
`--git-path`.
On the face of it, there is no obvious bug in that commit's diff: it
faithfully calls git_path() on the argument and prints it out, i.e. `git
rev-parse --git-path <filename>` has the same precise behavior as
calling `git_path("<filename>")` in C.
The problem lies deeper, much deeper. In hindsight (which is always
unfair), implementing the .git/ directory discovery in
`setup_git_directory()` by changing the working directory may have
allowed us to avoid passing around a struct that contains information
about the current repository, but it bought us many, many problems.
In this case, when being called in a subdirectory, `git rev-parse`
changes the working directory to the top-level directory before calling
`git_path()`. In the new working directory, the result is correct. But
in the working directory of the calling script, it is incorrect.
Example: when calling `git rev-parse --git-path HEAD` in, say, the
Documentation/ subdirectory of Git's own source code, the string
`.git/HEAD` is printed.
Side note: that bug is hidden when running in a subdirectory of a
worktree that was added by the `git worktree` command: in that case, the
(correct) absolute path of the `HEAD` file is printed.
In the interest of time, this patch does not go the "correct" route to
introduce a struct with repository information (and removing global
state in the process), instead this patch chooses to detect when the
command was called in a subdirectory and forces the result to be an
absolute path.
While at it, we are also fixing the output of --git-common-dir and
--shared-index-path.
Lastly, please note that we reuse the same strbuf for all of the
relative_path() calls; this avoids frequent allocation (and duplicated
code), and it does not risk memory leaks, for two reasons: 1) the
cmd_rev_parse() function does not return anywhere between the use of
the new strbuf instance and its final release, and 2) git-rev-parse is
one of these "one-shot" programs in Git, i.e. it exits after running
for a very short time, meaning that all allocated memory is released
with the exit() call anyway.

git-p4: fix git-p4.pathEncoding for removed files
The current code wants to record an error condition from
either ferror() or fclose(), but makes sure that we always
call both functions. So it can't use logical-OR "||", which
would short-circuit when ferror() is true. Instead, it uses
bitwise-OR "|" to evaluate both functions and set one or
more bits in the "err" flag if they reported a failure.
Unlike logical-OR, though, bitwise-OR does not introduce a
sequence point, and the order of evaluation for its operands
is unspecified. So a compiler would be free to generate code
which calls fclose() first, and then ferror() on the
now-freed filehandle.
There's no indication that this has happened in practice,
but let's write it out in a way that follows the standard.

grep: treat revs the same for --untracked as for --no-index
git-grep has always disallowed grepping in a tree (as
opposed to the working directory) with both --untracked
and --no-index. But we traditionally did so by first
collecting the revs, and then complaining when any were
provided.
The --no-index option recently learned to detect revs
much earlier. This has two user-visible effects:
- we don't bother to resolve revision names at all. So
when there's a rev/path ambiguity, we always choose to
treat it as a path.
- likewise, when you do specify a revision without "--",
the error you get is "no such path" and not "--untracked
cannot be used with revs".
The rationale for doing this with --no-index is that it is
meant to be used outside a repository, and so parsing revs
at all does not make sense.
This patch gives --untracked the same treatment. While it
_is_ meant to be used in a repository, it is explicitly
about grepping the non-repository contents. Telling the user
"we found a rev, but you are not allowed to use revs" is
not really helpful compared to "we treated your argument as
a path, and could not find it".

remote helpers: avoid blind fall-back to ".git" when setting GIT_DIR
To push from or fetch to the current repository, remote helpers need
to know what repository that is. Accordingly, Git sets the GIT_DIR
environment variable to the path to the current repository when
invoking remote helpers.
There is a special case it does not handle: "git ls-remote" and "git
archive --remote" can be run to inspect a remote repository without
being run from any local repository. GIT_DIR is not useful in this
scenario:
- if we are not in a repository, we don't need to set GIT_DIR to
override an existing GIT_DIR value from the environment. If GIT_DIR
is present then we would be in a repository if it were valid and
would have called die() if it weren't.
- not setting GIT_DIR may cause a helper to do the usual discovery
walk to find the repository. But we know we're not in one, or we
would have found it ourselves. So in the worst case it may expend
a little extra effort to try to find a repository and fail (for
example, remote-curl would do this to try to find repository-level
configuration).
So leave GIT_DIR unset in this case. This makes GIT_DIR easier to
understand for remote helper authors and makes transport code less of
a special case for repository discovery.

The "git ls-remote" command can be run outside of a
repository, but needs to look up configured remotes. The
config code is smart enough to handle this case itself, but
we also check the historical "branches" and "remotes" paths
in $GIT_DIR. The git_path() function causes us to blindly
look at ".git/remotes", even if we know we aren't in a git
repository.
For now, this is just an unlikely bug (you probably don't
have such a file if you're not in a repository), but it will
become more obvious once we merge b1ef400ee (setup_git_env:

We can fix this by skipping these sources entirely when
we're outside of a repository.
The test is a little more complex than the demonstration
above. Rather than detect the correct behavior by parsing
the error message, we can actually set up a case where the
remote name we give is a valid repository, but b1ef400ee
would cause us to die in the configuration step.

grep: avoid resolving revision names in --no-index case
We disallow the use of revisions with --no-index, but we
don't actually check and complain until well after we've
parsed the revisions.
This is the cause of a few problems:
1. We shouldn't be calling get_sha1() at all when we aren't
in a repository, as it might access the ref or object
databases. For now, this should generally just return
failure, but eventually it will become a BUG().
2. When there's a "--" disambiguator and you're outside a
repository, we'll complain early with "unable to resolve
revision". But we can give a much more specific error.
3. When there isn't a "--" disambiguator, we still do the
normal rev/path checks. This is silly, as we know we
cannot have any revs with --no-index. Everything we see
must be a path.
Outside of a repository this doesn't matter (since we
know it won't resolve), but inside one, we may complain
unnecessarily if a filename happens to also match a
refname.

But there are two bugs here:
1. We keep a seen_dashdash flag to handle this case, but
we set it in the same left-to-right pass over the
arguments in which we parse "rev".
So when we see "rev", we do not yet know that there is
a "--", and we mistakenly complain if there is a
matching file.
We can fix this by making a preliminary pass over the
arguments to find the "--", and only then checking the rev
arguments.
2. If we can't resolve "rev" but there isn't a dashdash,
that's OK. We treat it like a path, and complain later
if it doesn't exist.
But if there _is_ a dashdash, then we know it must be a
rev, and should treat it as such, complaining if it
does not resolve. The current code instead ignores it
and tries to treat it like a path.
This patch fixes both bugs, and tries to comment the parsing
flow a bit better.
It adds tests that cover the two bugs, but also some related
situations (which already worked, but this confirms that our
fixes did not break anything).

in the absence of a Git repository, an error message will be printed:
fatal: BUG: setup_git_env called without repository
This is because "git grep" tries to interpret "--" as a rev. "git grep"
has always tried to first interpret "--" as a rev for at least a few
years, but this issue was upgraded from a pessimization to a bug in
commit 59332d1 ("Resurrect "git grep --no-index"", 2010-02-06), which
calls get_sha1 regardless of whether --no-index was specified. This bug
appeared to be benign until commit b1ef400 ("setup_git_env: avoid blind
fall-back to ".git"", 2016-10-20) when Git was taught to die in this
situation. (This "git grep" bug appears to be one of the bugs that
commit b1ef400 is meant to flush out.)
Therefore, always interpret "--" as signaling the end of options,
instead of trying to interpret it as a rev first.

Originally, we set up the threads for grep before parsing
the non-option arguments. In 53b8d931b (grep: disable
threading in non-worktree case, 2011-12-12), the thread code
got bumped lower in the function because it now needed to
know whether we got any revision arguments.
That put a big block of code in between the parsing of revs
and the parsing of pathspecs, both of which share some loop
variables. That makes it harder to read the code than the
original, where the shared loops were right next to each
other.
Let's bump the thread initialization until after all of the
parsing is done.

When removing the hack for isatty(), we actually removed more than just
an isatty() hack: we removed the hack where internal data structures of
the MSVC runtime are modified in order to redirect stdout/stderr.
Instead of using that hack (that does not work with newer versions of
the runtime, anyway), we replaced it by reopening the respective file
descriptors.
What we forgot was to mark stderr as unbuffered again.
Reported by Hannes Sixt. Fixed with Jeff Hostetler's assistance.

A server can end up in a state where there are lots of unreferenced
loose objects (say, because many users are doing a bunch of rebasing
and pushing their rebased branches). Running "git gc --auto" in
this state would cause a gc.log file to be created, preventing
future auto gcs, causing pack files to pile up. Since many git
operations are O(n) in the number of pack files, this would lead to
poor performance.
Git should never get itself into a state where it refuses to do any
maintenance, just because at some point some piece of the maintenance
didn't make progress.
Teach Git to ignore gc.log files which are older than (by default)
one day old, which can be tweaked via the gc.logExpiry configuration
variable. That way, these pack files will get cleaned up, if
necessary, at least once per day. And operators who find a need for
more-frequent gcs can adjust gc.logExpiry to meet their needs.
There is also some cleanup: a successful manual gc, or a
warning-free auto gc with an old log file, will remove any old
gc.log files.
It might still happen that manual intervention is required
(e.g. because the repo is corrupt), but at the very least it won't
be because Git is too dumb to try again.

read_loose_refs(): read refs using resolve_ref_recursively()
There is no need to call read_ref_full() or resolve_gitlink_ref() from
read_loose_refs(), because we already have a ref_store object in hand.
So we can call resolve_ref_recursively() ourselves. Happily, this
unifies the code for the submodule vs. non-submodule cases.
This requires resolve_ref_recursively() to be exposed to the refs
subsystem, though not to non-refs code.

rm: reuse strbuf for all remove_dir_recursively() calls, again
Don't throw the memory allocated for remove_dir_recursively() away after

This change was done before in deb8e15a (rm: reuse strbuf for all

Documentation/stash: remove mention of git reset --hard
Don't mention git reset --hard in the documentation for git stash save.
It's an implementation detail that doesn't matter to the end user and
thus shouldn't be exposed to them. In addition it's not quite true for
git stash -p, and will not be true when a filename argument to limit the
stash to a few files is introduced.

The documentation gives an example of the submodule foreach
command that uses both backticks and single-quotes. We stick
the whole thing inside "+" markers to make it monospace, but
the inside punctuation still needs escaping. We handle the
backticks with "{backtick}", and use backslash-escaping for
the single-quotes.
But we missed the escaping on the second quote. Fortunately,
asciidoc renders this unbalanced quote as we want (showing
the quote), but asciidoctor does not. We could fix it by
adding the missing backslash.
However, let's take a step back. Even when rendered
correctly, it's hard to read a long command stuck into the
middle of a paragraph, and the important punctuation is hard
to notice. Let's instead bump it into its own single-line
code block. That makes both the source and the rendered
result more readable, and as a bonus we don't have to worry
about quoting at all.

Each of these options is missing the closing single-quote on
the option name. This understandably confuses asciidoc,
which ends up rendering a stray quote, like:
option cloning {'true|false}

ls-files: move only kept cache entries in prune_cache()
prune_cache() first identifies those entries at the start of the sorted
array that can be discarded. Then it moves the rest of the entries up.
Last it identifies the unwanted trailing entries among the moved ones
and cuts them off.
Change the order: Identify both start *and* end of the range to keep
first and then move only those entries to the top. The resulting code
is slightly shorter and a bit more efficient.
