upload-pack: fix broken if/else chain in config callback
The upload_pack_config() callback uses an if/else chain
like:
if (!strcmp(var, "a"))
...
else if (!strcmp(var, "b"))
...
etc
This works as long as the conditions are mutually exclusive,
but one of them is not. 20b20a22f8 (upload-pack: provide a
hook for running pack-objects, 2016-05-18) added:
else if (current_config_scope() != CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO) {
... check some more options ...
}
That was fine in that commit, because it came at the end of
the chain. But later, 10ac85c785 (upload-pack: add object
filtering for partial clone, 2017-12-08) did this:
else if (current_config_scope() != CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO) {
... check some more options ...
} else if (!strcmp("uploadpack.allowfilter", var))
...
We'd always check the scope condition first, meaning we'd
_only_ respect allowfilter when it's in the repo config. You
can see this with:
git -c uploadpack.allowfilter=true upload-pack . | head -1
which will not advertise the filter capability (but will
after this patch). We never noticed because:
- our tests always set it in the repo config
- in protocol v2, we use a different code path that
actually calls repo_config_get_bool() separately, so
that _does_ work. Real-world people experimenting with
this may be using v2.
The more recent uploadpack.allowrefinwant option is in the
same boat.
There are a few possible fixes:
1. Bump the scope conditional back to the bottom of the
chain. But that just means somebody else is likely to
make the same mistake later.
2. Make the conditional more like the others. I.e.:
else if (!current_config_scope() != CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO &&
!strcmp(var, "uploadpack.notallowedinrepo"))
This works, but the idea of the original structure was
that we may grow multiple sensitive options like this.
3. Pull it out of the chain entirely. The chain mostly
serves to avoid extra strcmp() calls after we've found
a match. But it's not worth caring about those. In the
worst case, when there isn't a match, we're already
hitting every strcmp (and this happens regularly for
stuff like "core.bare", etc).
This patch does (3).

t5410 creates a sample script "alternate-refs", and sets
core.alternateRefsCommand to just "alternate-refs". That
shouldn't work, as "." is not in our $PATH, and so we should
not find it.
However, due to a bug in run-command.c, we sometimes find it
anyway! Even more confusing, this bug is only in the
fork-based version of run-command. So the test passes on
Linux (etc), but fails on Windows.
In preparation for fixing the run-command bug, let's use a
more complete path here.

Since commit e3a434468f (run-command: use the
async-signal-safe execv instead of execvp, 2017-04-19),
prepare_cmd() does its own PATH lookup for any commands we
run (on non-Windows platforms).
However, its logic does not match the old execvp call when
we fail to find a matching entry in the PATH. Instead of
feeding the name directly to execv, execvp would consider
that an ENOENT error. By continuing and passing the name
directly to execv, we effectively behave as if "." was
included at the end of the PATH. This can have confusing and
even dangerous results.
The fix itself is pretty straight-forward. There's a new
test in t0061 to cover this explicitly, and I've also added
a duplicate of the ENOENT test to ensure that we return the
correct errno for this case.

mingw: fix getcwd when the parent directory cannot be queried
`GetLongPathName()` function may fail when it is unable to query
the parent directory of a path component to determine the long name
for that component. It happens, because it uses `FindFirstFile()`
function for each next short part of path. The `FindFirstFile()`
requires `List Directory` and `Synchronize` desired access for a calling
process.
In case of lacking such permission for some part of path,
the `GetLongPathName()` returns 0 as result and `GetLastError()`
returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
`GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function can help in such cases, because
it requires `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize` desired access to the
target path only.
The `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function was introduced on
`Windows Server 2008/Windows Vista`. So we need to load it dynamically.
`CreateFile()` parameters:
`lpFileName` = path to the current directory
`dwDesiredAccess` = 0 (it means `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize`)
`dwShareMode` = FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE
(it prevents `Sharing Violation`)
`lpSecurityAttributes` = NULL (default security attributes)
`dwCreationDisposition` = OPEN_EXISTING
(required to obtain a directory handle)
`dwFlagsAndAttributes` = FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS
(required to obtain a directory handle)
`hTemplateFile` = NULL (when opening an existing file or directory,
`CreateFile` ignores this parameter)
The string that is returned by `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function
uses the \\?\ syntax. To skip the prefix and convert backslashes
to slashes, the `normalize_ntpath()` mingw function will be used.
Note: `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function returns a final path.
It is the path that is returned when a path is fully resolved.
For example, for a symbolic link named "C:\tmp\mydir" that points to
"D:\yourdir", the final path would be "D:\yourdir".

When switching the current working directory, say, in PowerShell, it is
quite possible to use a different capitalization than the one that is
recorded on disk. While doing the same in `cmd.exe` adjusts the
capitalization magically, that does not happen in PowerShell so that
`getcwd()` returns the current directory in a different way than is
recorded on disk.
Typically this creates no problems except when you call
git log .
in a subdirectory called, say, "GIT/" but you switched to "Git/" and
your `getcwd()` reports the latter, then Git won't understand that you
wanted to see the history as per the `GIT/` subdirectory but it thinks you
wanted to see the history of some directory that may have existed in the
past (but actually never did).
So let's be extra careful to adjust the capitalization of the current
directory before working with it.

library using the `LoadLibrary()` function, which is not the recommended
way to load system libraries.
In practice, it does not make a difference: the `ws2_32.dll` library

LoadLibrary() simply reuses the already-loaded library.

It is more common to use post-increment than pre-increment when the

rebase (autostash): use an explicit OID to apply the stash
When `git stash apply <argument>` sees an argument that consists only of
digits, it tries to be smart and interpret it as `stash@{<number>}`.
Unfortunately, an all-digit hash (which is unlikely but still possible)
is therefore misinterpreted as `stash@{<n>}` reflog.
To prevent that from happening, let's append `^0` after the stash hash,
to make sure that it is interpreted as an OID rather than as a number.

rebase (autostash): store the full OID in <state-dir>/autostash
It was reported by Gábor Szeder and analyzed by Alban Gruin that the

file.
This is problematic e.g. in t5520-pull.sh, where the abbreviated hash is
so short that it sometimes consists only of digits, which are
subsequently mistaken ("DWIMmed") for numbers by `git stash apply`.
Let's align the behavior of the built-in rebase with the scripted rebase
and store the full stash hash instead. That makes it a lot less likely
that it consists only of digits.

diff: don't attempt to strip prefix from absolute Windows paths
git diff can be invoked with absolute paths. Typically, this triggers
the --no-index case. Then the absolute paths remain in the file names
that are printed in the output.
There is one peculiarity, though: When the command is invoked from a
a sub-directory in a repository, then it is attempted to strip the
sub-directory from the beginning of relative paths. Yet, to detect a
relative path the code just checks for an initial forward slash.
This mistakes a Windows style path like "D:/base" as a relative path
and the output looks like this, for example:
If the sub-directory where 'git diff' is invoked is sufficiently deep
that the prefix becomes longer than the path to be printed, then the
subsequent code accesses the path out of bounds.
Use is_absolute_path() to detect Windows style absolute paths.
One might wonder whether the check for a directory separator that
is visible in the patch context should be changed from == '/' to
is_dir_sep() or not. It turns out not to be necessary. That code
only ever investigates paths that have undergone pathspec
normalization, after which there are only forward slashes even on
Windows.
