run-command: use thread-aware die_is_recursing routine
If we die from an async thread, we do not actually exit the
program, but just kill the thread. This confuses the static
counter in usage.c's default die_is_recursing function; it
updates the counter once for the thread death, and then when
the main program calls die() itself, it erroneously thinks
we are recursing. The end result is that we print "recursion
detected in die handler" instead of the real error in such a
case (the easiest way to trigger this is having a remote
connection hang up while running a sideband demultiplexer).
This patch solves it by using a per-thread counter when the
async_die function is installed; we detect recursion in each
thread (including the main one), but they do not step on
each other's toes.
Other threaded code does not need to worry about this, as
they do not install specialized die handlers; they just let
a die() from a sub-thread take down the whole program.
Since we are overriding the default recursion-check
function, there is an interesting corner case that is not a
problem, but bears some explanation. Imagine the main thread
calls die(), and then in the die_routine starts an async
call. We will switch to using thread-local storage, which
starts at 0, for the main thread's counter, even though
the original counter was actually at 1. That's OK, though,
for two reasons:
1. It would miss only the first level of recursion, and
would still find recursive failures inside the async
helper.
2. We do not currently and are not likely to start doing
anything as heavyweight as starting an async routine
from within a die routine or helper function.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When any git code calls die or die_errno, we use a counter
to detect recursion into the die functions from any of the
helper functions. However, such a simple counter is not good
enough for threaded programs, which may call die from a
sub-thread, killing only the sub-thread (but incrementing
the counter for everyone).
Rather than try to deal with threads ourselves here, let's
just allow callers to plug in their own recursion-detection
function. This is similar to how we handle the die routine
(the caller plugs in a die routine which may kill only the
sub-thread).

read_revisions_from_stdin: make copies for handle_revision_arg
read_revisions_from_stdin() has passed pointers to its read buffer
down to handle_revision_arg() since its inception way back in 42cabc3
(Teach rev-list an option to read revs from the standard input.,
2006-09-05). Even back then, this was a bug: through
add_pending_object, the argument was recorded in the object_array's
'name' field.
Fix it by making a copy whenever read_revisions_from_stdin() passes an
argument down the callchain. The other caller runs handle_revision_arg()
on argv[], where it would be redundant to make a copy.

http: set curl FAILONERROR each time we select a handle
Because we reuse curl handles for multiple requests, the
setup of a handle happens in two stages: stable, global
setup and per-request setup. The lifecycle of a handle is
something like:
1. get_curl_handle; do basic global setup that will last
through the whole program (e.g., setting the user
agent, ssl options, etc)
2. get_active_slot; set up a per-request baseline (e.g.,
clearing the read/write functions, making it a GET
request, etc)
3. perform the request with curl_*_perform functions
4. goto step 2 to perform another request
Breaking it down this way means we can avoid doing global
setup from step (1) repeatedly, but we still finish step (2)
with a predictable baseline setup that callers can rely on.
Until commit 6d052d7 (http: add HTTP_KEEP_ERROR option,
2013-04-05), setting curl's FAILONERROR option was a global
setup; we never changed it. However, 6d052d7 introduced an
option where some requests might turn off FAILONERROR. Later
requests using the same handle would have the option
unexpectedly turned off, which meant they would not notice
http failures at all.
This could easily be seen in the test-suite for the
"half-auth" cases of t5541 and t5551. The initial requests
turned off FAILONERROR, which meant it was erroneously off
for the rpc POST. That worked fine for a successful request,
but meant that we failed to react properly to the HTTP 401
(instead, we treated whatever the server handed us as a
successful message body).
The solution is simple: now that FAILONERROR is a
per-request setting, we move it to get_active_slot to make
sure it is reset for each request.

wortwhile when there's more to say about it. So for the time being

completion: inline __gitcomp_1 to its sole callsite
There is no point in calling a separate function that is only used
in one place. Especially considering that there's no need to call
compgen, and we traverse the words ourselves both in __gitcompadd,
and __gitcomp_1.
Let's squash the functions together, and traverse only once.
The functionality we use from compgen is not much, we can do the same
manually, with drastic improvements in speed, especially when dealing
with only a few words.
This patch also has the sideffect that brekage reported by Jeroen Meijer
and SZEDER Gábor gets fixed because we no longer expand the resulting
words.
Here are some numbers filtering N amount of words:
If the user has a cover-letter configuration set to anything other
than 'false', 'git format-patch' may generate a cover letter, which
has no place in "format-patch | am" pipeline.

options already do.

doc/http-backend: match query-string in apache half-auth example
When setting up a "half-auth" repository in which reads can
be done anonymously but writes require authentication, it is
best if the server can require authentication for both the
ref advertisement and the actual receive-pack POSTs. This
alleviates the need for the admin to set http.receivepack in
the repositories, and means that the client is challenged
for credentials immediately, instead of partway through the
push process (and git clients older than v1.7.11.7 had
trouble handling these challenges).
Since detecting a push during the ref advertisement requires
matching the query string, and this is non-trivial to do in
Apache, we have traditionally punted and instructed users to
just protect "/git-receive-pack$". This patch provides the
mod_rewrite recipe to actually match the ref advertisement,
which is preferred.
While we're at it, let's add the recipe to our test scripts
so that we can be sure that it works, and doesn't get broken
(either by our changes or by changes in Apache).
