"git merge-recursive" had a small bug that could have made it
mishandle "one side deleted, the other side did not touch it" in a
rare corner case, where the other side actually did touch to cause
the blob object names to be different but both blobs before and
after the change normalize to the same (e.g. correcting mistake to
check in a blob with CRLF line endings by replacing it with another
blob that records the same contents with LF line endings).
We used to get confused when a process called us with SIGPIPE

Introduced in 331a1838b (2010-07-02, Try normalizing files

quite a long time ago, so I'm rather unsure if it's of any impact
or just went unnoticed.
The line after the changed line has a comparison of 'o.len' to 'a.len',
so we should assume the lengths may be different.

Blocked and ignored signals -- but not caught signals -- are inherited
across exec. Some callers with sloppy signal-handling behavior can call
git with SIGPIPE blocked or ignored, even non-deterministically. When
SIGPIPE is blocked or ignored, several git commands can run indefinitely,
ignoring EPIPE returns from write() calls, even when the process that
called them has gone away. Our specific case involved a pipe of git
diff-tree output to a script that reads a limited amount of diff data.
In an ideal world, git would never be called with SIGPIPE blocked or
ignored. But in the real world, several real potential callers, including
Perl, Apache, and Unicorn, sometimes spawn subprocesses with SIGPIPE
ignored. It is easier and more productive to harden git against this
mistake than to clean it up in every potential parent process.

branch: clean up commit flags after merge-filter walk
When we run `branch --merged`, we use prepare_revision_walk
with the merge-filter marked as UNINTERESTING. Any branch
tips that are marked UNINTERESTING after it returns must be
ancestors of that commit. As we iterate through the list of
refs to show, we check item->commit->object.flags to see
whether it was marked.
This interacts badly with --verbose, which will do a
separate walk to find the ahead/behind information for each
branch. There are two bad things that can happen:
1. The ahead/behind walk may get the wrong results,
because it can see a bogus UNINTERESTING flag leftover
from the merge-filter walk.
2. We may omit some branches if their tips are involved in
the ahead/behind traversal of a branch shown earlier.
The ahead/behind walk carefully cleans up its commit
flags, meaning it may also erase the UNINTERESTING
flag that we expect to check later.
We can solve this by moving the merge-filter state for each
ref into its "struct ref_item" as soon as we finish the
merge-filter walk. That fixes (2). Then we are free to clear
the commit flags we used in the walk, fixing (1).
Note that we actually do away with the matches_merge_filter
helper entirely here, and inline it between the revision
walk and the flag-clearing. This ensures that nobody
accidentally calls it at the wrong time (it is only safe to
check in that instant between the setting and clearing of
the global flag).

The macro ALLOC_GROW manages several aspects of dynamic memory
allocations for arrays: It performs overprovisioning in order to avoid
reallocations in future calls, updates the allocation size variable,
multiplies the item size and thus allows users to simply specify the
item count, performs the reallocation and updates the array pointer.
Sometimes this is too much. Add the macro REALLOC_ARRAY, which only
takes care of the latter three points and allows users to specfiy the
number of items the array can store. It can increase and also decrease
the size. Using the macro avoid duplicating the variable name and
takes care of the item sizes automatically.

receive-pack: allow hooks to ignore its standard input stream
The pre-receive and post-receive hooks were designed to be an
improvement over old style update and post-update hooks, which take
the update information on their command line and are limited by the
command line length limit. The same information is fed from the
standard input to pre/post-receive hooks instead to lift this
limitation. It has been mandatory for these new style hooks to
consume the update information fully from the standard input stream.
Otherwise, they would risk killing the receive-pack process via
SIGPIPE.
If a hook does not want to look at all the information, it is easy
to send its standard input to /dev/null (perhaps a niche use of hook
might need to know only the fact that a push was made, without
having to know what objects have been pushed to update which refs),
and this has already been done by existing hooks that are written
carefully.
However, because there is no good way to consistently fail hooks
that do not consume the input fully (a small push may result in a
short update record that may fit within the pipe buffer, to which
the receive-pack process may manage to write before the hook has a
chance to exit without reading anything, which will not result in a
death-by-SIGPIPE of receive-pack), it can lead to a hard to diagnose
"once in a blue moon" phantom failure.
Lift this "hooks must consume their input fully" mandate. A mandate
that is not enforced strictly is not helping us to catch mistakes in
hooks. If a hook has a good reason to decide the outcome of its
operation without reading the information we feed it, let it do so
as it pleases.
Documentation/git-rebase.txt: <upstream> must be given to specify <branch>
Current syntax description makes one wonder if there is any
syntactic way to distinguish between <branch> and <upstream> so that
one can specify <branch> but not <upstream>, but that is not the
case.
Make it explicit that these arguments are positional, i.e. the
earlier ones cannot be omitted if you want to give later ones.

If the stderr of "git credential-cache" is redirected to a
pipe, the reader on the other end of a pipe may be surprised
that the pipe remains open long after the process exits.
This happens because we may auto-spawn a daemon which is
long-lived, and which keeps stderr open.
We can solve this by redirecting the daemon's stderr to
/dev/null once we are ready to go into our event loop. We
would not want to do so before then, because we may want to
report errors about the setup (e.g., failure to establish
the listening socket).
This does mean that we will not report errors we encounter
for specific clients. That's acceptable, as such errors
should be rare (e.g., clients sending buggy requests).
However, we also provide an escape hatch: if you want to see
these later messages, you can provide the "--debug" option
to keep stderr open.

mailinfo: make ">From" in-body header check more robust
Since commit 81c5cf7 (mailinfo: skip bogus UNIX From line inside
body, 2006-05-21), we have treated lines like ">From" in the body as
headers. This makes "git am" work for people who erroneously paste
the whole output from format-patch:
From 12345abcd...fedcba543210 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: them
Subject: [PATCH] whatever
into their email body (assuming that an mbox writer then quotes
"From" as ">From", as otherwise we would actually mailsplit on the
in-body line).
However, this has false positives if somebody actually has a commit
body that starts with "From "; in this case we erroneously remove
the line entirely from the commit message. We can make this check
more robust by making sure the line actually looks like a real mbox
"From" line.
Inspect the line that begins with ">From " a more carefully to only
skip lines that match the expected pattern (note that the datestamp
part of the format-patch output is designed to be kept constant to
help those who write magic(5) entries).

We allocate pack information in a static global list but
never clean it up. This leaks memory, and means that calling
update_server_info twice will generate a buggy file (it will
have duplicate entries).
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Since "git update-server-info" may be called automatically
as part of a push or a "gc --auto", we should be robust
against two processes trying to update it simultaneously.
However, we currently use a fixed tempfile, which means that
two simultaneous writers may step on each other's toes and
end up renaming junk into place.
Let's instead switch to using a unique tempfile via mkstemp.
We do not want to use a lockfile here, because it's OK for
two writers to simultaneously update (one will "win" the
rename race, but that's OK; they should be writing the same
information).
While we're there, let's clean up a few other things:
1. Detect write errors. Report them and abort the update
if any are found.
2. Free path memory rather than leaking it (and clean up
the tempfile when necessary).
3. Use the pathdup functions consistently rather than
static buffers or manually calculated lengths.
This last one fixes a potential overflow of "infofile" in
update_info_packs (e.g., by putting large junk into
$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY). However, this overflow was probably
not an interesting attack vector for two reasons:
a. The attacker would need to control the environment to
do this, in which case it was already game-over.
b. During its setup phase, git checks that the directory
actually exists, which means it is probably shorter
than PATH_MAX anyway.
Because both update_info_refs and update_info_packs share
these same failings (and largely duplicate each other), this
patch factors out the improved error-checking version into a
helper function.
