gpg-interface: check gpg signature creation status

When we create a signature, it may happen that gpg returns with
"success" but not with an actual detached signature on stdout.

Check for the correct signature creation status to catch these cases
better. Really, --status-fd parsing is the only way to check gpg status
reliably. We do the same for verify already.

sign_buffer: use pipe_commandJeff King Fri, 17 Jun 2016 23:38:55 +0000 (19:38 -0400)

sign_buffer: use pipe_command

Similar to the prior commit for verify_signed_buffer, the
motivation here is both to make the code simpler, and to
avoid any possible deadlocks with gpg.

In this case we have the same "write to stdin, then read
from stdout" that the verify case had. This is unlikely to
be a problem in practice, since stdout has the detached
signature, which it cannot compute until it has read all of
stdin (if it were a non-detached signature, that would be a
problem, though).

We don't read from stderr at all currently. However, we will
want to in a future patch, so this also prepares us there
(and in that case gpg _does_ write before reading all of the
input, though again, it is unlikely that a key uid will fill
up a pipe buffer).

verify_signed_buffer: use pipe_command

This is shorter and should make the function easier to
follow. But more importantly, it removes the possibility of
any deadlocks based on reading or writing to gpg.

It's not clear if such a deadlock is possible in practice.

We do write the whole payload before reading anything, so we
could deadlock there. However, in practice gpg will need to
read our whole input to verify the signature, so it will
drain our payload first. It could write an error to stderr
before reading, but it's unlikely that such an error
wouldn't be followed by it immediately exiting, or that the
error would actually be larger than a pipe buffer.

On the writing side, we drain stderr (with the
human-readable output) in its entirety before reading stdout
(with the status-fd data). Running strace on "gpg --verify"
does show interleaved output on the two descriptors:

write(2, "gpg: ", 5) = 5
write(2, "Signature made Thu 16 Jun 2016 0"..., 73) = 73
write(1, "[GNUPG:] SIG_ID tQw8KGcs9rBfLvAj"..., 66) = 66
write(1, "[GNUPG:] GOODSIG 69808639F9430ED"..., 60) = 60
write(2, "gpg: ", 5) = 5
write(2, "Good signature from \"Jeff King <"..., 47) = 47
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
write(2, "gpg: ", 5) = 5
write(2, " aka \"Jeff King <"..., 49) = 49
write(2, "\n", 1) = 1
write(1, "[GNUPG:] VALIDSIG C49CE24156AF08"..., 135) = 135
write(1, "[GNUPG:] TRUST_ULTIMATE\n", 24) = 24

The second line written to stdout there contains the
signer's UID, which can be arbitrarily long. If it fills the
pipe buffer, then gpg would block writing to its stdout,
while we are blocked trying to read its stderr.

In practice, GPG seems to limit UIDs to 2048 bytes, so
unless your pipe buffer size is quite small, or unless gpg
does not enforce the limit under some conditions, this seems
unlikely in practice.

Still, it is not hard for us to be cautious and just use
pipe_command.

run-command: add pipe_command helperJeff King Fri, 17 Jun 2016 23:38:47 +0000 (19:38 -0400)

run-command: add pipe_command helper

We already have capture_command(), which captures the stdout
of a command in a way that avoids deadlocks. But sometimes
we need to do more I/O, like capturing stderr as well, or
sending data to stdin. It's easy to write code that
deadlocks racily in these situations depending on how fast
the command reads its input, or in which order it writes its
output.

Let's give callers an easy interface for doing this the
right way, similar to what capture_command() did for the
simple case.

The whole thing is backed by a generic poll() loop that can
feed an arbitrary number of buffers to descriptors, and fill
an arbitrary number of strbufs from other descriptors. This
seems like overkill, but the resulting code is actually a
bit cleaner than just handling the three descriptors
(because the output code for stdout/stderr is effectively
duplicated, so being able to loop is a benefit).

verify_signed_buffer: use tempfile objectJeff King Fri, 17 Jun 2016 23:38:43 +0000 (19:38 -0400)

verify_signed_buffer: use tempfile object

We use git_mkstemp to create a temporary file, and try to
clean it up in all exit paths from the function. But that
misses any cases where we die by signal, or by calling die()
in a sub-function. In addition, we missed one of the exit
paths.

Let's convert to using a tempfile object, which handles the
hard cases for us, and add the missing cleanup call. Note
that we would not simply want to rely on program exit to
catch our missed cleanup, as this function may be called
many times in a single program (for the same reason, we use
a static tempfile instead of heap-allocating a new one; that
gives an upper bound on our memory usage).

verify_signed_buffer: drop pbuf variableJeff King Fri, 17 Jun 2016 23:38:39 +0000 (19:38 -0400)

verify_signed_buffer: drop pbuf variable

If our caller gave us a non-NULL gpg_status parameter, we
write the gpg status into their strbuf. If they didn't, then
we write it to a temporary local strbuf (since we still need
to look at it). The variable "pbuf" adds an extra layer of
indirection so that the rest of the function can just access
whichever is appropriate.

However, the name "pbuf" isn't very descriptive, and it's
easy to get confused about what is supposed to be in it
(especially because we are reading both "status" and
"output" from gpg).

Rather than give it a more descriptive name, we can just use
gpg_status as our indirection pointer. Either it points to
the caller's input, or we can point it directly to our
temporary buffer.

bisect: always call setup_revisions after init_revisions

init_revisions() initializes the rev_info struct to default
values, and setup_revisions() parses any command-line
arguments and finalizes the struct.

In e22278c (bisect: display first bad commit without forking
a new process, 2009-05-28), a show_diff_tree() was added
that calls the former but not the latter. It doesn't have
any arguments to parse, but it still should do the
finalizing step.

This may have caused other minor bugs over the years, but it
became much more prominent after fe37a9c (pretty: allow
tweaking tabwidth in --expand-tabs, 2016-03-29). That leaves
the expected tab width as "-1", rather than the true default
of "8". When we see a commit with tabs to be expanded, we
end up trying to add (size_t)-1 spaces to a strbuf, which
complains about the integer overflow.

The fix is easy: just call setup_revisions() with no
arguments.

repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objectsJeff King Mon, 13 Jun 2016 04:38:04 +0000 (00:38 -0400)

repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objects

If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects
that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the
old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left
as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with
"git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably
want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git
prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over
time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as
the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not
support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom
scripts people might have driving "repack -k").

With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable
objects into the pack along with the already-packed
unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is
really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place.
We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful
ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code.
However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is
already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these
objects doesn't matter much because they should not be
accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become
referenced, but then they would get moved to a different
part of the packfile during the next repack).

repack: add --keep-unreachable optionJeff King Mon, 13 Jun 2016 04:36:28 +0000 (00:36 -0400)

repack: add --keep-unreachable option

The usual way to do a full repack (and what is done by
git-gc) is to run "repack -Ad --unpack-unreachable=<when>",
which will loosen any unreachable objects newer than
"<when>", and drop any older ones.

This is a safer alternative to "repack -ad", because
"<when>" becomes a grace period during which we will not
drop any new objects that are about to be referenced.
However, it isn't perfectly safe. It's always possible that
a process is about to reference an old object. Even if that
process were to take care to update the timestamp on the
object, there is no atomicity with a simultaneously running
"repack" process.

So while unlikely, there is a small race wherein we may drop
an object that is in the process of being referenced. If you
do automated repacking on a large number of active
repositories, you may hit it eventually, and the result is a
corrupted repository.

It would be nice to fix that race in the long run, but it's
complicated. In the meantime, there is a much simpler
strategy for automated repository maintenance: do not drop
objects at all. We already have a "--keep-unreachable"
option in pack-objects; we just need to plumb it through
from git-repack.

Note that this _isn't_ plumbed through from git-gc, so at
this point it's strictly a tool for people doing their own
advanced repository maintenance strategy.

use string_list initializer consistently

There are two types of string_lists: those that own the

difference by the strdup_strings flag, and one should use
either STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP, or STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP as an
initializer.

Historically, the normal all-zeros initialization has
corresponded to the NODUP case. Many sites use no
initializer at all, and that works as a shorthand for that
case. But for a reader of the code, it can be hard to
remember which is which. Let's be more explicit and actually
have each site declare which type it means to use.

This is a fairly mechanical conversion; I assumed each site
was correct as-is, and just switched them all to NODUP.

There's no need for these option variables to be static,
except that they are referenced by the options array itself,
which is static. But having all of this static is simply
unnecessary and confusing (and inconsistent with most other
commands, which either use a static global option list or a
true function-local one).

Note that in some cases we may need to actually initialize
the variables (since we cannot rely on BSS to do so). This
is a net improvement to readability, though, as we can use
the more verbose initializers for our string_lists.

parse_opt_string_list: stop allocating new strings

The parse_opt_string_list callback is basically a thin
wrapper to string_list_append() any string options we get.
However, it calls:

string_list_append(v, xstrdup(arg));

which duplicates the option value. This is wrong for two
reasons:

1. If the string list has strdup_strings set, then we are
making an extra copy, which is simply leaked.

2. If the string list does not have strdup_strings set,
then we pass memory ownership to the string list, but
it does not realize this. If we later call
string_list_clear(), which can happen if "--no-foo" is
passed, then we will leak all of the existing entries.

Instead, we should just pass the argument straight to
string_list_append, and it can decide whether to copy or not
based on its strdup_strings flag.

It's possible that some (buggy) caller could be relying on
this extra copy (e.g., because it parses some options from
an allocated argv array and then frees the array), but it's
not likely. For one, we generally only use parse_options on
the argv given to us in main(). And two, such a caller is
broken anyway, because other option types like OPT_STRING()
do not make such a copy. This patch brings us in line with
them.

reports that a change to add a new "function" with common ending

def foo
do_foo_stuff()

+ common_ending()
+end
+
+def bar
+ do_bar_stuff()
+

end

when the new heuristic is in use. In reality, the change is to add
the blank line before "def bar" and everything below, which is what
the code without the new heuristic shows.

Disable the heuristics by default, and resurrect the documentation
for the option and the configuration variables, while clearly
marking the feature as still experimental.

When -W is given we search the lines between the end of the current

we merge those two hunks as they must be part of the same function.

If the next change is an appended chunk we abort the search early in

send-pack: use buffered I/O to talk to pack-objectsJeff King Wed, 8 Jun 2016 19:42:16 +0000 (15:42 -0400)

send-pack: use buffered I/O to talk to pack-objects

We start a pack-objects process and then write all of the
positive and negative sha1s to it over a pipe. We do so by
formatting each item into a fixed-size buffer and then
writing each individually. This has two drawbacks:

1. There's some manual computation of the buffer size,
which is not immediately obvious is correct (though it
is).

2. We write() once per sha1, which means a lot more system
calls than are necessary.

We can solve both by wrapping the pipe descriptor in a stdio
handle; this is the same technique used by upload-pack when
serving fetches.

Note that we can also simplify and improve the error
handling here. The original detected a single write error
and broke out of the loop (presumably to avoid writing the
error message over and over), but never actually acted on
seeing an error; we just fed truncated input and took
whatever pack-objects returned.

In practice, this probably didn't matter, as the likely
errors would be caused by pack-objects dying (and we'd
probably just die with SIGPIPE anyway). But we can easily
make this simpler and more robust; the stdio handle keeps an
error flag, which we can check at the end.

tree-diff: avoid alloca for large allocationsJeff King Tue, 7 Jun 2016 22:53:00 +0000 (18:53 -0400)

tree-diff: avoid alloca for large allocations

Commit 72441af (tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate
diffs for multiparent cases as well, 2014-04-07) introduced
the use of alloca so that the common cases of commits with 1
or 2 parents would not be adversely affected by going
through the multi-parent code.

However, our xalloca is not ideal when the number of parents
grows very large:

1. If the requested size is too large for our stack,
alloca() has no way to tell us, and we simply segfault
while trying to access the memory.

2. It does not use our usual memory_limit_check() logic.

I measured, and alloca is indeed buying us a very small
speedup over xmalloc()/free(). So we'd want to keep
something like it.

This patch simply puts a conditional in place at each
callsite: we use alloca for common known-small numbers of
parents, and otherwise use the heap. We are technically
still vulnerable to (1), but no more so than if we simply
put a few dozen bytes on the stack, which we must do all the
time anyway. And likewise, we technically miss a memory
limit check if it is tiny, but such a limit is pointless.

An alternative to this would be implement something like:

struct tree *tp, tp_fallback[2];
if (nparent <= ARRAY_SIZE(tp_fallback))
tp = tp_fallback;
else
ALLOC_ARRAY(tp, nparent);
...
if (tp != tp_fallback)
free(tp);

That would let us drop our xalloca() portability code
entirely. But in my measurements, this seemed to perform
slightly worse than the xalloca solution.

Note in the example above, and in the patch below, I've used
ALLOC_ARRAY() to replace the manual xmalloc(nr * sizeof(*x)).
Besides being shorter, this has the bonus that one cannot
accidentally overflow a size_t during that computation.

The executable bit will not be detected (and therefore will not be
set) for paths in a repository with `core.filemode` set to false,
though the users may still wish to add files as executable for
compatibility with other users who _do_ have `core.filemode`
functionality. For example, Windows users adding shell scripts may
wish to add them as executable for compatibility with users on
non-Windows.

Although this can be done with a plumbing command
(`git update-index --add --chmod=+x foo`), teaching the `git-add`
command allows users to set a file executable with a command that
they're already familiar with.

regex: fix a SIZE_MAX macro redefinition warningRamsay Jones Tue, 7 Jun 2016 00:35:33 +0000 (01:35 +0100)

regex: fix a SIZE_MAX macro redefinition warning

Since commit 56a1a3ab ("Silence GCC's \"cast of pointer to integer of a
different size\" warning", 26-10-2015), sparse has been issuing a macro
redefinition warning for the SIZE_MAX macro. However, gcc did not issue
any such warning.

After commit 56a1a3ab, in terms of the order of #includes and #defines,
the code looked something like:

$ cat -n junk.c
1 #include <stddef.h>
2
3 #define SIZE_MAX ((size_t) -1)
4
5 #include <stdint.h>
6
7 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
8 {
9 return 0;
10 }
$
$ gcc junk.c
$

However, if you compile that file with -Wsystem-headers, then it will
also issue a warning. Having set -Wsystem-headers in CFLAGS, using the
config.mak file, then (on cygwin):

$ make compat/regex/regex.o
CC compat/regex/regex.o
In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/4.9.3/include/stdint.h:9:0,
from compat/regex/regcomp.c:21,
from compat/regex/regex.c:77:
/usr/include/stdint.h:362:0: warning: "SIZE_MAX" redefined
#define SIZE_MAX (__SIZE_MAX__)
^
In file included from compat/regex/regex.c:69:0:
compat/regex/regex_internal.h:108:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
# define SIZE_MAX ((size_t) -1)
^
$

The compilation of the compat/regex code is somewhat unusual in that the
regex.c file directly #includes the other c files (regcomp.c, regexec.c
and regex_internal.c). Commit 56a1a3ab added an #include of <stdint.h>
to the regcomp.c file, which results in the redefinition, since this is
included after the regex_internal.h header. This header file contains a
'fallback' definition for SIZE_MAX, in order to support systems which do
not have the <stdint.h> header (the HAVE_STDINT_H macro is not defined).

In order to suppress the warning, we move the #include of <stdint.h>
from regcomp.c to the start of the compilation unit, close to the top
of regex.c, prior to the #include of the regex_internal.h header.

reflog: continue walking the reflog past root commitsSZEDER Gábor Fri, 3 Jun 2016 20:42:35 +0000 (22:42 +0200)

reflog: continue walking the reflog past root commits

If a repository contains more than one root commit, then its HEAD
reflog may contain multiple "creation events", i.e. entries whose
"from" value is the null sha1. Listing such a reflog currently stops
prematurely at the first such entry, even when the reflog still
contains older entries. This can scare users into thinking that their
reflog got truncated after 'git checkout --orphan'.

Continue walking the reflog past such creation events based on the
preceeding reflog entry's "new" value.

The test 'symbolic-ref writes reflog entry' in t1401-symbolic-ref
implicitly relies on the current behavior of the reflog walker to stop
at a root commit and thus to list only the reflog entries that are
relevant for that test. Adjust the test to explicitly specify the
number of relevant reflog entries to be listed.

pretty: support "mboxrd" output format

This output format prevents format-patch output from breaking
readers if somebody copy+pasted an mbox into a commit message.

Unlike the traditional "mboxo" format, "mboxrd" is designed to
be fully-reversible. "mboxrd" also gracefully degrades to
showing extra ">" in existing "mboxo" readers.

This degradation is preferable to breaking message splitting
completely, a problem I've seen in "mboxcl" due to having
multiple, non-existent, or inaccurate Content-Length headers.

"mboxcl2" is a non-starter since it's inherits the problems
of "mboxcl" while being completely incompatible with existing
tooling based around mailsplit.

userdiff: add built-in pattern for CSSWilliam Duclot Fri, 3 Jun 2016 12:32:26 +0000 (14:32 +0200)

userdiff: add built-in pattern for CSS

CSS is widely used, motivating it being included as a built-in pattern.

It must be noted that the word_regex for CSS (i.e. the regex defining
what is a word in the language) does not consider '.' and '#' characters
(in CSS selectors) to be part of the word. This behavior is documented
by the test t/t4018/css-rule.
The logic behind this behavior is the following: identifiers in CSS
selectors are identifiers in a HTML/XML document. Therefore, the '.'/'#'
character are not part of the identifier, but an indicator of the nature
of the identifier in HTML/XML (class or id). Diffing ".class1" and
".class2" must show that the class name is changed, but we still are
selecting a class.

Logic behind the "pattern" regex is:
1. reject lines ending with a colon/semicolon (properties)
2. if a line begins with a name in column 1, pick the whole line

builtin/apply: add 'lock_file' pointer into 'struct apply_state'

We cannot have a 'struct lock_file' allocated on the stack, as lockfile.c
keeps a linked list of all created lock_file structures.

Also 'struct apply_state' users might later want the same 'struct lock_file'
instance to be reused by different series of calls to the apply api.

So let's add a 'struct lock_file *lock_file' pointer into 'struct apply_state'
and have the user of 'struct apply_state' allocate memory for the actual
'struct lock_file' instance.

Let's also add an argument to init_apply_state(), so that the caller can
easily supply a pointer to the allocated instance.

rev-list: disable bitmaps when "-n" is used with listin... Jeff King Fri, 3 Jun 2016 07:08:05 +0000 (03:08 -0400)

rev-list: disable bitmaps when "-n" is used with listing objects

You can ask rev-list to use bitmaps to speed up an --objects
traversal, which should generally give you your answers much
faster.

Likewise, you can ask rev-list to limit such a traversal
with `-n`, in which case we'll show only a limited set of
commits (and only the tree and commit objects directly
reachable from those commits).

But if you do both together, the results are nonsensical. We
end up limiting any fallback traversal we do to _find_ the
bitmaps, but the actual set of objects we output will be
picked arbitrarily from the union of any bitmaps we do find,
and will involve the objects of many more commits.

It's possible that somebody might want this as a "show me
what you can, but limit the amount of work you do" flag.
But as with the prior commit clamping "--count", the results
are basically non-deterministic; you'll get the values from
some commits between `n` and the total number, and you can't
tell which.

And unlike the `--count` case, we can't easily generate the
"real" value from the bitmap values (you can't just walk
back `-n` commits and subtract out the reachable objects
from the boundary commits; the bitmaps for `X` record its
total reachability, so you don't know which objects are
directly from `X` itself, which from `X^`, and so on).

So let's just fallback to the non-bitmap code path in this
case, so we always give a sane answer.

rev-list: "adjust" results of "--count --use-bitmap... Jeff King Fri, 3 Jun 2016 07:07:34 +0000 (03:07 -0400)

rev-list: "adjust" results of "--count --use-bitmap-index -n"

If you ask rev-list for:

git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index HEAD

we optimize out the actual traversal and just give you the
number of bits set in the commit bitmap. This is faster,
which is good.

But if you ask to limit the size of the traversal, like:

git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index -n 100 HEAD

we'll still output the full bitmapped number we found. On
the surface, that might even seem OK. You explicitly asked
to use the bitmap index, and it was cheap to compute the
real answer, so we gave it to you.

But there's something much more complicated going on under
the hood. If we don't have a bitmap directly for HEAD, then
we have to actually traverse backwards, looking for a
bitmapped commit. And _that_ traversal is bounded by our
`-n` count.

This is a good thing, because it bounds the work we have to
do, which is probably what the user wanted by asking for
`-n`. But now it makes the output quite confusing. You might
get many values:

- your `-n` value, if we walked back and never found a
bitmap (or fewer if there weren't that many commits)

- the actual full count, if we found a bitmap root for
every path of our traversal with in the `-n` limit

- any number in between! We might have walked back and
found _some_ bitmaps, but then cut off the traversal
early with some commits not accounted for in the result.

So you cannot even see a value higher than your `-n` and say
"OK, bitmaps kicked in, this must be the real full count".
The only sane thing is for git to just clamp the value to a
maximum of the `-n` value, which means we should output the
exact same results whether bitmaps are in use or not.

The test in t5310 demonstrates this by using `-n 1`.
Without this patch we fail in the full-bitmap case (where we
do not have to traverse at all) but _not_ in the
partial-bitmap case (where we have to walk down to find an
actual bitmap). With this patch, both cases just work.

I didn't implement the crazy in-between case, just because
it's complicated to set up, and is really a subset of the
full-count case, which we do cover.

upload-pack: provide a hook for running pack-objectsJeff King Wed, 18 May 2016 22:45:37 +0000 (18:45 -0400)

upload-pack: provide a hook for running pack-objects

When upload-pack serves a client request, it turns to
pack-objects to do the heavy lifting of creating a
packfile. There's no easy way to intercept the call to
pack-objects, but there are a few good reasons to want to do
so:

1. If you're debugging a client or server issue with
fetching, you may want to store a copy of the generated
packfile.

2. If you're gathering data from real-world fetches for
performance analysis or debugging, storing a copy of
the arguments and stdin lets you replay the pack
generation at your leisure.

3. You may want to insert a caching layer around
pack-objects; it is the most CPU- and memory-intensive
part of serving a fetch, and its output is a pure
function[1] of its input, making it an ideal place to
consolidate identical requests.

This patch adds a simple "hook" interface to intercept calls
to pack-objects. The new test demonstrates how it can be
used for debugging (using it for caching is a
straightforward extension; the tricky part is writing the
actual caching layer).

This hook is unlike the normal hook scripts found in the
"hooks/" directory of a repository. Because we promise that
upload-pack is safe to run in an untrusted repository, we
cannot execute arbitrary code or commands found in the
repository (neither in hooks/, nor in the config). So
instead, this hook is triggered from a config variable that
is explicitly ignored in the per-repo config.

The config variable holds the actual shell command to run as
the hook. Another approach would be to simply treat it as a
boolean: "should I respect the upload-pack hooks in this
repo?", and then run the script from "hooks/" as we usually
do. However, that isn't as flexible; there's no way to run a
hook approved by the site administrator (e.g., in
"/etc/gitconfig") on a repository whose contents are not
trusted. The approach taken by this patch is more
fine-grained, if a little less conventional for git hooks
(it does behave similar to other configured commands like
diff.external, etc).

[1] Pack-objects isn't _actually_ a pure function. Its
output depends on the exact packing of the object
database, and if multi-threading is used for delta
compression, can even differ racily. But for the
purposes of caching, that's OK; of the many possible
outputs for a given input, it is sufficient only that we
output one of them.

t1308: do not get fooled by symbolic links to the source tree

When your $PWD does not match $(/bin/pwd), e.g. you have your copy
of the git source tree in one place, point it with a symbolic link,
and then "cd" to that symbolic link before running 'make test', one
of the tests in t1308 expects that the per-user configuration was
reported to have been read from the true path (i.e. relative to the
target of such a symbolic link), but the test-config program reports
a path relative to $PWD (i.e. the symbolic link).

Instead, expect a path relative to $HOME (aka $TRASH_DIRECTORY), as
per-user configuration is read from $HOME/.gitconfig and the test
framework sets these shell variables up in such a way to avoid this
problem.
