2) The documentation of submodule.$name.update is scattered across three

3) The documentation of submodule.$name.update in gitmodules.txt is
incorrect, because the code always uses the value from .git/config

4) Documentation of --force was incomplete, because it is only effective

When --shortstat is used in conjunction with --dirstat=changes, git diff will
output the dirstat information twice: first as calculated by the 'lines'
algorithm, then as calculated by the 'changes' algorithm:
The rename code cannot handle an input where we have
duplicate destinations (i.e., more than one diff_filepair in
the queue with the same string in its pair->two->path). We
end up allocating only one slot in the rename_dst mapping.
If we fill in the diff_filepair for that slot, when we
re-queue the results, we may queue that filepair multiple
times. When the diff is finally flushed, the filepair is
processed and free()d multiple times, leading to heap
corruption.
This situation should only happen when a tree diff sees
duplicates in one of the trees (see the added test for a
detailed example). Rather than handle it, the sanest thing
is just to turn off rename detection altogether for the
diff.

Since b19138b (git-svn: Make it incrementally faster by minimizing temp
files, v1.6.0), git-svn has been using the Git.pm temp_acquire and
temp_release mechanism to avoid unnecessary temp file churn and provide
a speed boost.
However, that change introduced a call to temp_acquire inside the
Git::SVN::Fetcher::close_file function for an 'svn_hash' temp file.
Because an SVN::Pool is active at the time this function is called, if
the Git::temp_acquire function ends up actually creating a new
FileHandle for the temp file (which it will the first time it's called
with the name 'svn_hash') that FileHandle will end up in the SVN::Pool
and should that pool have SVN::Pool::clear called on it that FileHandle
will be closed out from under Git::temp_acquire.
Since the only call site to Git::temp_acquire with the name 'svn_hash'
is inside the close_file function, if an 'svn_hash' temp file is ever
created its FileHandle is guaranteed to be created in the active
SVN::Pool.
This has not been a problem in the past because the SVN::Pool was not
being cleared. However, since dfa72fdb (git-svn: reload RA every
log-window-size, v2.2.0) the pool has been getting cleared periodically
at which point the FileHandle for the 'svn_hash' temp file gets closed.
Any subsequent calls to Git::temp_acquire for 'svn_hash', however,
succeed without creating/opening a new temporary file since it still has
the now invalid FileHandle in its cache. Callers that then attempt to
use that FileHandle fail with an error.
We avoid this problem by making sure the 'svn_hash' temp file is created
in the same place the 'svn_delta_...' and 'git_blob_...' temp files are
(and then temp_release'd) so that it can be safely used inside the
close_file function without having its FileHandle end up in an SVN::Pool
that gets cleared.
Additionally the Git.pm cat_blob function creates a bidirectional pipe
FileHandle using the IPC::Open2::open2 function. If that handle is
created too late, it also gets caught up in the SVN::Pool and incorrectly
closed by the SVN::Pool::clear call. But this only seems to happen with
more recent versions of Perl and svn.
To avoid this problem we add an explicit call to _open_cat_blob_if_needed
before the first call to SVN::Pool->new_default to make sure the open2
handle does not end up in the SVN::Pool.

We have a helper function test_ln_s_add that inserts a symbolic link

path (where symbolic links are available). To fix this, just call

We use the daemon_avoid_alias function to make sure that the
pathname the user gives us is sane. However, after applying
that check, we might then interpolate the path using a
string given by the server admin, but which may contain more
untrusted data from the client. We should be sure to
sanitize this data, as well.
We cannot use daemon_avoid_alias here, as it is more strict
than we need in requiring a leading '/'. At the same time,
we can be much more strict here. We are interpreting a
hostname, which should not contain slashes or excessive runs
of dots, as those things are not allowed in DNS names.
Note that in addition to cleansing the hostname field, we
must check the "canonical hostname" (%CH) as well as the
port (%P), which we take as a raw string. For the canonical
hostname, this comes from an actual DNS lookup on the
accessed IP, which makes it a much less likely vector for
problems. But it does not hurt to sanitize it in the same
way. Unfortunately we cannot test this case easily, as it
would involve a custom hostname lookup.
We do not need to check %IP, as it comes straight from
inet_ntop, so must have a sane form.

Using "insteadOf" config does not work for this purpose, as
the hostname determination happens at a very low level,
right before we feed the hostname to our lookup routines.

t/diff-lib: check exact object names in compare_diff_raw
The "sanitize" helper wanted to strip the similarity and
dissimilarity scores when making comparison, but it was
stripping away the object names as well.
While we do not want to require the exact object names the tests
expect to be maintained, as it would be seen as an extra burden,
this would have prevented us catching a silly bug such as showing
non 0{40} object name on the preimage side of an addition or on the
postimage side of a deletion, because all [0-9a-f]{40} strings were
considered equally OK.
In the longer term, when a test only wants to see the status of the
change without having to worry about object names, it should be
rewritten not to inspect the raw format.
tests: do not borrow from COPYING and README from the real source
These two files have been modified since the tests started using
as test input, making the exact object names they expect to be
different from what actually happens in the trash repository they
use to run tests.
Instead, take a snapshot of these two files and keep them in
t/diff-lib/ so that we can update the real ones without having to
worry about breaking tests.
A complete rewrite of a single file was originally designed to be
expressed as a deletion immediately followed by a creation of the
same file, and the comments in the test updated here were written to
reflect that design decision made in f345b0a0 (Add -B flag to diff-*
brothers., 2005-05-30). However, we later realized that a complete
rewrite is merely how a textual diff should be represented at 366175ef (Rework -B output., 2005-06-19), and updated the actual
tests. But we forgot to update the introductory text while doing
so.
