There are three ways to convince cat-file to stream a blob:
- cat-file -p $blob
- cat-file blob $blob
- echo $batch | cat-file --batch
In the first two, we simply exit with the error code of
streaw_blob_to_fd(). That means that an error will cause us
to exit with "-1" (which we try to avoid) without printing
any kind of error message (which is confusing to the user).
Instead, let's match the third case, which calls die() on an
error. Unfortunately we cannot be more specific, as
stream_blob_to_fd() does not tell us whether the problem was
on reading (e.g., a corrupt object) or on writing (e.g.,
ENOSPC). That might be an opportunity for future work, but
for now we will at least exit with a sane message and exit
code.

This commit fixes an infinite loop when fscking large
truncated loose objects.
The check_stream_sha1() function takes an mmap'd loose
object buffer and streams 4k of output at a time, checking
its sha1. The loop quits when we've output enough bytes (we
know the size from the object header), or when zlib tells us
anything except Z_OK or Z_BUF_ERROR.
The latter is expected because zlib may run out of room in
our 4k buffer, and that is how it tells us to process the
output and loop again.
But Z_BUF_ERROR also covers another case: one in which zlib
cannot make forward progress because it needs more _input_.
This should never happen in this loop, because though we're
streaming the output, we have the entire deflated input
available in the mmap'd buffer. But since we don't check
this case, we'll just loop infinitely if we do see a
truncated object, thinking that zlib is asking for more
output space.
It's tempting to fix this by checking stream->avail_in as
part of the loop condition (and quitting if all of our bytes
have been consumed). But that assumes that once zlib has
consumed the input, there is nothing left to do. That's not
necessarily the case: it may have read our input into its
internal state, but still have bytes to output.
Instead, let's continue on Z_BUF_ERROR only when we see the
case we're expecting: the previous round filled our output
buffer completely. If it didn't (and we still saw
Z_BUF_ERROR), we know something is wrong and should break
out of the loop.
The bug comes from commit f6371f9210 (sha1_file: add
read_loose_object() function, 2017-01-13), which
reimplemented some of the existing loose object functions.
So it's worth checking if this bug was inherited from any of
those. The answers seems to be no. The two obvious
candidates are both OK:
1. unpack_sha1_rest(); this doesn't need to loop on
Z_BUF_ERROR at all, since it allocates the expected
output buffer in advance (which we can't do since we're
explicitly streaming here)
2. check_object_signature(); the streaming path relies on
the istream interface, which uses read_istream_loose()
for this case. That function uses a similar "is our
output buffer full" check with Z_BUF_ERROR (which is
where I stole it from for this patch!)

Commit cce044df7f (fsck: detect trailing garbage in all
object types, 2017-01-13) added two tests of trailing
garbage in a loose object file: one with a commit and one
with a blob. The point of having two is that blobs would
follow a different code path that streamed the contents,
instead of loading it into a buffer as usual.
At the time, merely being a blob was enough to trigger the
streaming code path. But since 7ac4f3a007 (fsck: actually
fsck blob data, 2018-05-02), we now only stream blobs that
are actually large. So since then, the streaming code path
is not tested at all for this case.
We can restore the original intent of the test by tweaking
core.bigFileThreshold to make our small blob seem large.
There's no easy way to externally verify that we followed
the streaming code path, but I did check before/after using
a temporary debug statement.

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).

`git repack` can drop unreachable commits without further warning,
making the corresponding entries in `.git/shallow` invalid, which causes
serious problems when deepening the branches.
One scenario where unreachable commits are dropped by `git repack` is
when a `git fetch --prune` (or even a `git fetch` when a ref was
force-pushed in the meantime) can make a commit unreachable that was
reachable before.
Therefore it is not safe to assume that a `git repack -adlf` will keep
unreachable commits alone (under the assumption that they had not been
packed in the first place, which is an assumption at least some of Git's
code seems to make).
This is particularly important to keep in mind when looking at the
`.git/shallow` file: if any commits listed in that file become
unreachable, it is not a problem, but if they go missing, it *is* a
problem. One symptom of this problem is that a deepening fetch may now
fail with
fatal: error in object: unshallow <commit-hash>
To avoid this problem, let's prune the shallow list in `git repack` when
the `-d` option is passed, unless `-A` is passed, too (which would force
the now-unreachable objects to be turned into loose objects instead of
being deleted). Additionally, we also need to take `--keep-reachable`
and `--unpack-unreachable=<date>` into account.
Note: an alternative solution discussed during the review of this patch
was to teach `git fetch` to simply ignore entries in .git/shallow if the
corresponding commits do not exist locally. A quick test, however,
revealed that the .git/shallow file is written during a shallow *clone*,
in which case the commits do not exist, either, but the "shallow" line
*does* need to be sent. Therefore, this approach would be a lot more
finicky than the approach presented by the this patch.

The `prune_shallow()` function wants a full reachability check to be
completed before it goes to work, to ensure that all unreachable entries
are removed from the shallow file.
However, in the upcoming patch we do not even want to go that far. We
really only need to remove entries corresponding to pruned commits, i.e.
to commits that no longer exist.
Let's support that use case.
Rather than extending the signature of `prune_shallow()` to accept
another Boolean, let's turn it into a bit field and declare constants,
for readability.

repack: point out a bug handling stale shallow info
A `git fetch --prune` can turn previously-reachable objects unreachable,
even commits that are in the `shallow` list. A subsequent `git repack
-ad` will then unceremoniously drop those unreachable commits, and the
`shallow` list will become stale. This means that when we try to fetch
with a larger `--depth` the next time, we may end up with:

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.

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.

receive: denyCurrentBranch=updateinstead should not blindly update

all the other case arms only checked a condition to reject the

checked after the switch statement in question) is still rejected.
But the handling of updateInstead incorrectly took immediate effect,
without giving other checks a chance to intervene.
Instead of calling update_worktree() that causes the side effect
immediately, just note the fact that we will need to call the
function later, and first give other checks a chance to reject the
request. After the update-hook gets a chance to reject the push
(which happens as the last step in a series of checks), call
update_worktree() when we earlier detected the need to.

pack-objects (mingw): initialize `packing_data` mutex in the correct spot
In 9ac3f0e5b3e4 (pack-objects: fix performance issues on packing large
deltas, 2018-07-22), a mutex was introduced that is used to guard the
call to set the delta size. This commit even added code to initialize
it, but at an incorrect spot: in `init_threaded_search()`, while the
call to `oe_set_delta_size()` (and hence to `packing_data_lock()`) can
happen in the call chain `check_object()` <- `get_object_details()` <-
`prepare_pack()` <- `cmd_pack_objects()`, which is long before the
`prepare_pack()` function calls `ll_find_deltas()` (which initializes
the threaded search).
Another tell-tale that the mutex was initialized in an incorrect spot is
that the function to initialize it lives in builtin/, while the code
that uses the mutex is defined in a libgit.a header file.
Let's use a more appropriate function: `prepare_packing_data()`, which
not only lives in libgit.a, but *has* to be called before the
`packing_data` struct is used that contains that mutex.

split-index: BUG() when cache entry refers to non-existing shared entry
When the split index feature is in use, then a cache entry is:
- either only present in the split index, in which case its 'index'
field must be 0,
- or it should refer to an existing entry in the shared index, i.e.
the 'index' field can't be greater than the size of the shared
index.
If a cache entry were to refer to a non-existing entry in the shared
index, then that's a sign of something being wrong in the index state,
either as a result of a bug in dealing with the split/shared index
entries, or perhaps a (potentially unrelated) memory corruption issue.
prepare_to_write_split_index() already has a condition to catch cache
entries with such bogus 'index' field, but instead of calling BUG() it
just sets cache entry's 'index = 0', and the entry will then be
written to the new split index.
Don't write a new index file from bogus index state, and call BUG()
upon encountering an cache entry referring to a non-existing shared
index entry.
Running the test suite repeatedly with 'GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=yes'
doesn't trigger this condition.
