mingw: replace isatty() hack

Git for Windows has carried a patch that depended on internals
of MSVC runtime, but it does not work correctly with recent MSVC
runtime. A replacement was written originally for compiling
with VC++. The patch in this message is a backport of that
replacement, and it also fixes the previous attempt to make
isatty() tell that /dev/null is *not* an interactive terminal.

mingw: fix colourization on Cygwin pseudo terminals

Git only colours the output and uses pagination if isatty() returns 1.
MSYS2 and Cygwin emulate pseudo terminals via named pipes, meaning that
isatty() returns 0.

f7f90e0f4f (mingw: make isatty() recognize MSYS2's pseudo terminals
(/dev/pty*), 2016-04-27) fixed this for MSYS2 terminals, but not for
Cygwin.

The named pipes that Cygwin and MSYS2 use are very similar. MSYS2 PTY pipes
are called 'msys-*-pty*' and Cygwin uses 'cygwin-*-pty*'. This commit
modifies the existing check to allow both MSYS2 and Cygwin PTY pipes to be
identified as TTYs.

Note that pagination is still broken when running Git for Windows from
within Cygwin, as MSYS2's less.exe is spawned (and does not like to
interact with Cygwin's PTY).

This partially fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/267

mingw: adjust is_console() to work with stdin

When determining whether a handle corresponds to a *real* Win32 Console
(as opposed to, say, a character device such as /dev/null), we use the
GetConsoleOutputBufferInfo() function as a tell-tale.

However, that does not work for *input* handles associated with a
console. Let's just use the GetConsoleMode() function for input handles,
and since it does not work on output handles fall back to the previous
method for those.

This patch prepares for using is_console() instead of my previous
misguided attempt in cbb3f3c9b1 (mingw: intercept isatty() to handle
/dev/null as Git expects it, 2016-12-11) that broke everything on
Windows.

mailinfo.c: move side-effects outside of assert

Since 6b4b013f18 (mailinfo: handle in-body header continuations,
2016-09-20, v2.11.0) mailinfo.c has contained new code with an
assert of the form:

assert(call_a_function(...))

The function in question, check_header, has side effects. This
means that when NDEBUG is defined during a release build the
function call is omitted entirely, the side effects do not
take place and tests (fortunately) start failing.

Since the only time that mi->inbody_header_accum is appended to is
in check_inbody_header, and appending onto a blank
mi->inbody_header_accum always happens when is_inbody_header is
true, this guarantees a prefix that causes check_header to always
return true.

Therefore replace the assert with an if !check_header + DIE
combination to reflect this.

git-p4: fix multi-path changelist empty commitsGeorge Vanburgh Sat, 17 Dec 2016 22:11:23 +0000 (22:11 +0000)

git-p4: fix multi-path changelist empty commits

When importing from multiple perforce paths - we may attempt to
import a changelist that contains files from two (or more) of these
depot paths. Currently, this results in multiple git commits - one
containing the changes, and the other(s) as empty commit(s). This
behavior was introduced in commit 1f90a64891 ("git-p4: reduce number
of server queries for fetches", 2015-12-19).

Reproduction Steps:

1. Have a git repo cloned from a perforce repo using multiple
depot paths (e.g. //depot/foo and //depot/bar).

2. Submit a single change to the perforce repo that makes changes
in both //depot/foo and //depot/bar.

3. Run "git p4 sync" to sync the change from #2.

Change is synced as multiple commits, one for each depot path that
was affected.

Using a set, instead of a list inside p4ChangesForPaths() ensures
that each changelist is unique to the returned list, and therefore
only a single commit is generated for each changelist.

t0021: fix flaky test

t0021.15 creates files, adds them to the index, and commits them. All
this usually happens in a test run within the same second and Git cannot
know if the files have been changed between `add` and `commit`. Thus,
Git has to run the clean filter in both operations. Sometimes these
invocations spread over two different seconds and Git can infer that the
files were not changed between `add` and `commit` based on their
modification timestamp. The test would fail as it expects the filter
invocation. Remove this expectation to make the test stable.

index-pack: skip collision check when not in repositoryJeff King Fri, 16 Dec 2016 21:43:22 +0000 (16:43 -0500)

index-pack: skip collision check when not in repository

You can run "git index-pack path/to/foo.pack" outside of a
repository to generate an index file, or just to verify the
contents. There's no point in doing a collision check, since
we obviously do not have any objects to collide with.

The current code will blindly look in .git/objects based on
the result of setup_git_env(). That effectively gives us the
right answer (since we won't find any objects), but it's a
waste of time, and it conflicts with our desire to
eventually get rid of the "fallback to .git" behavior of
setup_git_env().

normalize_path_copy(): fix pushing to //server/share... Johannes Sixt Wed, 14 Dec 2016 19:37:38 +0000 (20:37 +0100)

normalize_path_copy(): fix pushing to //server/share/dir on Windows

normalize_path_copy() is not prepared to keep the double-slash of a
//server/share/dir kind of path, but treats it like a regular POSIX
style path and transforms it to /server/share/dir.

The bug manifests when 'git push //server/share/dir master' is run,
because tmp_objdir_add_as_alternate() uses the path in normalized
form when it registers the quarantine object database via
link_alt_odb_entries(). Needless to say that the directory cannot be
accessed using the wrongly normalized path.

Fix it by skipping all of the root part, not just a potential drive
prefix. offset_1st_component takes care of this, see the
implementation in compat/mingw.c::mingw_offset_1st_component().

tmp-objdir: quote paths we add to alternatesJeff King Mon, 12 Dec 2016 19:53:55 +0000 (14:53 -0500)

tmp-objdir: quote paths we add to alternates

Commit 722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects until
pre-receive accepts, 2016-10-03) regressed pushes to
repositories with colon (or semi-colon in Windows in them)
because it adds the repository's main object directory to
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES. The receiver interprets
the colon as a delimiter, not as part of the path, and
index-pack is unable to find objects which it needs to
resolve deltas.

The previous commit introduced a quoting mechanism for the
alternates list; let's use it here to cover this case. We'll
avoid quoting when we can, though. This alternate setup is
also used when calling hooks, so it's possible that the user
may call older git implementations which don't understand
the quoting mechanism. By quoting only when necessary, this
setup will continue to work unless the user _also_ has a
repository whose path contains the delimiter.

alternates: accept double-quoted pathsJeff King Mon, 12 Dec 2016 19:52:22 +0000 (14:52 -0500)

alternates: accept double-quoted paths

We read lists of alternates from objects/info/alternates
files (delimited by newline), as well as from the
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES environment variable
(delimited by colon or semi-colon, depending on the
platform).

There's no mechanism for quoting the delimiters, so it's
impossible to specify an alternate path that contains a
colon in the environment, or one that contains a newline in
a file. We've lived with that restriction for ages because
both alternates and filenames with colons are relatively
rare, and it's only a problem when the two meet. But since
722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects until
pre-receive accepts, 2016-10-03), which builds on the
alternates system, every push causes the receiver to set
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES internally.

It would be convenient to have some way to quote the
delimiter so that we can represent arbitrary paths.

The simplest thing would be an escape character before a
quoted delimiter (e.g., "\:" as a literal colon). But that
creates a backwards compatibility problem: any path which
uses that escape character is now broken, and we've just
shifted the problem. We could choose an unlikely escape
character (e.g., something from the non-printable ASCII
range), but that's awkward to use.

Instead, let's treat names as unquoted unless they begin
with a double-quote, in which case they are interpreted via
our usual C-stylke quoting rules. This also breaks
backwards-compatibility, but in a smaller way: it only
matters if your file has a double-quote as the very _first_
character in the path (whereas an escape character is a
problem anywhere in the path). It's also consistent with
many other parts of git, which accept either a bare pathname
or a double-quoted one, and the sender can choose to quote
or not as required.

When preparing the right-side of the diff we only include the
changed paths in the temporary area.

The left side of the diff is constructed from a temporary
index that is built from the same set of changed files, but it
was being constructed from within the subdirectory. This is a
problem because the indexed paths are toplevel-relative, and
thus they were not getting added to the index.

Teach difftool to chdir to the toplevel of the repository before
preparing its temporary indexes. This ensures that all of the

mingw: intercept isatty() to handle /dev/null as Git expects it

When Git's source code calls isatty(), it really asks whether the
respective file descriptor is connected to an interactive terminal.

Windows' _isatty() function, however, determines whether the file
descriptor is associated with a character device. And NUL, Windows'
equivalent of /dev/null, is a character device.

Which means that for years, Git mistakenly detected an associated
interactive terminal when being run through the test suite, which
almost always redirects stdin, stdout and stderr to /dev/null.

This bug only became obvious, and painfully so, when the new
bisect--helper entered the `pu` branch and made the automatic build & test
time out because t6030 was waiting for an answer.

setup_revisions() does also call diff_opt_parse(), but not for --abbrev
or --no-abbrev, which it handles itself. setup_revisions() sets
rev_info->abbrev, and later copies that to diff_options->abbrev. It
handles --no-abbrev by setting abbrev to zero. (This change doesn't
touch that.)

Setting abbrev to zero was broken in the outside-of-a-repository special
case, which until now resulted in a truly zero-length SHA-1, rather than
taking zero to mean do not abbreviate. The only way to trigger this bug,
however, was by running "git diff --raw" without either the --abbrev or
--no-abbrev options, because 1) without --raw it doesn't respect abbrev
(which is bizarre, but has been that way forever), 2) we silently clamp
--abbrev=0 to MINIMUM_ABBREV, and 3) --no-abbrev wasn't handled until
now.

The outside-of-a-repository case is one of three no-index cases. The
other two are when one of the files you're comparing is outside of the
repository you're in, and the --no-index option.

difftool: fix dir-diff index creation when in a subdirectory

9ec26e7977 (difftool: fix argument handling in subdirs, 2016-07-18)
corrected how path arguments are handled in a subdirectory, but
it introduced a regression in how entries outside of the
subdirectory are handled by dir-diff.

When preparing the right-side of the diff we only include the
changed paths in the temporary area.

The left side of the diff is constructed from a temporary
index that is built from the same set of changed files, but it
was being constructed from within the subdirectory. This is a
problem because the indexed paths are toplevel-relative, and
thus they were not getting added to the index.

Teach difftool to chdir to the toplevel of the repository before
preparing its temporary indexes. This ensures that all of the
toplevel-relative paths are valid.

Add test cases to more thoroughly exercise this scenario.

shallow.c: remove useless code

Some context before we talk about the removed code.

This paint_down() is part of step 6 of 58babff (shallow.c: the 8 steps
to select new commits for .git/shallow - 2013-12-05). When we fetch from
a shallow repository, we need to know if one of the new/updated refs
needs new "shallow commits" in .git/shallow (because we don't have
enough history of those refs) and which one.

The question at step 6 is, what (new) shallow commits are required in
other to maintain reachability throughout the repository _without_
cutting our history short? To answer, we mark all commits reachable from
existing refs with UNINTERESTING ("rev-list --not --all"), mark shallow
commits with BOTTOM, then for each new/updated refs, walk through the
commit graph until we either hit UNINTERESTING or BOTTOM, marking the
ref on the commit as we walk.

After all the walking is done, we check the new shallow commits. If we
have not seen any new ref marked on a new shallow commit, we know all
new/updated refs are reachable using just our history and .git/shallow.
The shallow commit in question is not needed and can be thrown away.

So, the code.

The loop here (to walk through commits) is basically

1. get one commit from the queue
2. ignore if it's SEEN or UNINTERESTING
3. mark it
4. go through all the parents and..
5a. mark it if it's never marked before
5b. put it back in the queue

What we do in this patch is drop step 5a because it is not
necessary. The commit being marked at 5a is put back on the queue, and
will be marked at step 3 at the next iteration. The only case it will
not be marked is when the commit is already marked UNINTERESTING (5a
does not check this), which will be ignored at step 2.

But we don't care about refs marking on UNINTERESTING. We care about the
marking on _shallow commits_ that are not reachable from our current
history (and having UNINTERESTING on it means it's reachable). So it's
ok for an UNINTERESTING not to be ref-marked.

shallow.c: bit manipulation tweaks

First of all, 1 << 31 is technically undefined behaviour, so let's just
use an unsigned literal.

If i is 'signed int' and gcc doesn't know that i is positive, gcc
generates code to compute the C99-mandated values of "i / 32" and "i %
32", which is a lot more complicated than simple a simple shifts/mask.

The only caller of paint_down actually passes an "unsigned int" value,
but the prototype of paint_down causes (completely well-defined)
conversion to signed int, and gcc has no way of knowing that the
converted value is non-negative. Just make the id parameter unsigned.

In update_refstatus, the change in generated code is much smaller,
presumably because gcc is smart enough to see that i starts as 0 and is
only incremented, so it is allowed (per the UD of signed overflow) to
assume that i is always non-negative. But let's just help less smart
compilers generate good code anyway.

The expression info->free+size is technically undefined behaviour in

to translate the expression to

shallow.c: make paint_alloc slightly more robust

paint_alloc() allocates a big block of memory and splits it into
smaller, fixed size, chunks of memory whenever it's called. Each chunk
contains enough bits to present all "new refs" [1] in a fetch from a
shallow repository.

We do not check if the new "big block" is smaller than the requested
memory chunk though. If it happens, we'll happily pass back a memory
region smaller than expected. Which will lead to problems eventually.

A normal fetch may add/update a dozen new refs. Let's stay on the
"reasonably extreme" side and say we need 16k refs (or bits from
paint_alloc's perspective). Each chunk of memory would be 2k, much
smaller than the memory pool (512k).

So, normally, the under-allocation situation should never happen. A bad
guy, however, could make a fetch that adds more than 4m new/updated refs
to this code which results in a memory chunk larger than pool size.
Check this case and abort.

stash: prefer plumbing over git-diff

When creating a stash, we need to look at the diff between
the working tree and HEAD, and do so using the git-diff
porcelain. Because git-diff enables porcelain config like
renames by default, this causes at least one problem. The
--name-only format will not mention the source side of a
rename, meaning we will fail to stash a deletion that is
part of a rename.

We could fix that case by passing --no-renames, but this is
a symptom of a larger problem. We should be using the
diff-index plumbing here, which does not have renames
enabled by default, and also does not respect any
potentially confusing config options.

http-walker: complain about non-404 loose object errorsJeff King Tue, 6 Dec 2016 18:25:39 +0000 (13:25 -0500)

http-walker: complain about non-404 loose object errors

Since commit 17966c0a6 (http: avoid disconnecting on 404s
for loose objects, 2016-07-11), we turn off curl's
FAILONERROR option and instead manually deal with failing
HTTP codes.

However, the logic to do so only recognizes HTTP 404 as a
failure. This is probably the most common result, but if we
were to get another code, the curl result remains CURLE_OK,
and we treat it as success. We still end up detecting the
failure when we try to zlib-inflate the object (which will
fail), but instead of reporting the HTTP error, we just
claim that the object is corrupt.

Instead, let's catch anything in the 300's or above as an
error (300's are redirects which are not an error at the
HTTP level, but are an indication that we've explicitly
disabled redirects, so we should treat them as such; we
certainly don't have the resulting object content).

Note that we also fill in req->errorstr, which we didn't do
before. Without FAILONERROR, curl will not have filled this
in, and it will remain a blank string. This never mattered
for the 404 case, because in the logic below we hit the
"missing_target()" branch and print nothing. But for other
errors, we'd want to say _something_, if only to fill in the
blank slot in the error message.

http: treat http-alternates like redirectsJeff King Tue, 6 Dec 2016 18:24:45 +0000 (13:24 -0500)

http: treat http-alternates like redirects

The previous commit made HTTP redirects more obvious and
tightened up the default behavior. However, there's another
way for a server to ask a git client to fetch arbitrary
content: by having an http-alternates file (or a regular
alternates file, which is used as a backup).

Similar to the HTTP redirect case, a malicious server can
claim to have refs pointing at object X, return a 404 when
the client asks for X, but point to some other URL via
http-alternates, which the client will transparently fetch.
The end result is that it looks from the user's perspective
like the objects came from the malicious server, as the
other URL is not mentioned at all.

Worse, because we feed the new URL to curl ourselves, the
usual protocol restrictions do not kick in (neither curl's
default of disallowing file://, nor the protocol
whitelisting in f4113cac0 (http: limit redirection to
protocol-whitelist, 2015-09-22).

Let's apply the same rules here as we do for HTTP redirects.
Namely:

- unless http.followRedirects is set to "always", we will
not follow remote redirects from http-alternates (or
alternates) at all

- set CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS alongside CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS
restrict ourselves to a known-safe set and respect any
user-provided whitelist.

- mention alternate object stores on stderr so that the
user is aware another source of objects may be involved

The first item may prove to be too restrictive. The most
common use of alternates is to point to another path on the
same server. While it's possible for a single-server
redirect to be an attack, it takes a fairly obscure setup
(victim and evil repository on the same host, host speaks
dumb http, and evil repository has access to edit its own
http-alternates file).

So we could make the checks more specific, and only cover
cross-server redirects. But that means parsing the URLs
ourselves, rather than letting curl handle them. This patch
goes for the simpler approach. Given that they are only used
with dumb http, http-alternates are probably pretty rare.
And there's an escape hatch: the user can allow redirects on
a specific server by setting http.<url>.followRedirects to
"always".

http: make redirects more obviousJeff King Tue, 6 Dec 2016 18:24:41 +0000 (13:24 -0500)

http: make redirects more obvious

We instruct curl to always follow HTTP redirects. This is
convenient, but it creates opportunities for malicious
servers to create confusing situations. For instance,
imagine Alice is a git user with access to a private
repository on Bob's server. Mallory runs her own server and
wants to access objects from Bob's repository.

Mallory may try a few tricks that involve asking Alice to
clone from her, build on top, and then push the result:

1. Mallory may simply redirect all fetch requests to Bob's
server. Git will transparently follow those redirects
and fetch Bob's history, which Alice may believe she
got from Mallory. The subsequent push seems like it is
just feeding Mallory back her own objects, but is
actually leaking Bob's objects. There is nothing in
git's output to indicate that Bob's repository was
involved at all.

The downside (for Mallory) of this attack is that Alice
will have received Bob's entire repository, and is
likely to notice that when building on top of it.

2. If Mallory happens to know the sha1 of some object X in
Bob's repository, she can instead build her own history
that references that object. She then runs a dumb http
server, and Alice's client will fetch each object
individually. When it asks for X, Mallory redirects her
to Bob's server. The end result is that Alice obtains
objects from Bob, but they may be buried deep in
history. Alice is less likely to notice.

Both of these attacks are fairly hard to pull off. There's a
social component in getting Mallory to convince Alice to
work with her. Alice may be prompted for credentials in
accessing Bob's repository (but not always, if she is using
a credential helper that caches). Attack (1) requires a
certain amount of obliviousness on Alice's part while making
a new commit. Attack (2) requires that Mallory knows a sha1
in Bob's repository, that Bob's server supports dumb http,
and that the object in question is loose on Bob's server.

But we can probably make things a bit more obvious without
any loss of functionality. This patch does two things to
that end.

First, when we encounter a whole-repo redirect during the
initial ref discovery, we now inform the user on stderr,
making attack (1) much more obvious.

Second, the decision to follow redirects is now
configurable. The truly paranoid can set the new
http.followRedirects to false to avoid any redirection
entirely. But for a more practical default, we will disallow
redirects only after the initial ref discovery. This is
enough to thwart attacks similar to (2), while still
allowing the common use of redirects at the repository
level. Since c93c92f30 (http: update base URLs when we see
redirects, 2013-09-28) we re-root all further requests from
the redirect destination, which should generally mean that
no further redirection is necessary.

As an escape hatch, in case there really is a server that
needs to redirect individual requests, the user can set
http.followRedirects to "true" (and this can be done on a
per-server basis via http.*.followRedirects config).
