The name-hash subsystem that is used to cope with case insensitive
filesystems keeps track of directories and their on-filesystem
cases for all the paths in the index by holding a pointer to a
randomly chosen cache entry that is inside the directory (for its
ce->ce_name component). This pointer was not updated even when the
cache entry was removed from the index, leading to use after free.
This was fixed by recording the path for each directory instead of
borrowing cache entries and restructuring the API somewhat.
* dt/name-hash-dir-entry-fix:
name-hash: don't reuse cache_entry in dir_entry
* xf/user-manual-markup:
Documentation: match undefline with the text in old release notes
Documentation: match underline with the text
Documentation: fix header markup
The caller is preparing a narrowed-down copy of the working tree and
this function is asked if the path should be included in that copy.
If we say yes, the path from the working tree will be either symlinked
or copied into the narrowed-down copy.
For any path that is a symbolic link, the caller later fixes up the
narrowed-down copy by unlinking the path and replacing it with a
regular file it writes out that mimics the way how "git diff"
compares symbolic links.
Let's answer "no, you do not want to copy/symlink the working tree
file" for all symbolic links from this function, as we know the
result will not be used because it will be overwritten anyway.
Incidentally, this also stops the function from feeding a symbolic
link in the working tree to hash-object, which is a wrong thing to
do to begin with. The link may be pointing at a directory, or worse
may be dangling (both would be noticed as an error). Even if the
link points at a regular file, hashing the contents of a file that
is pointed at by the link is not correct (Git hashes the contents of
the link itself, not the pointee).

Git-merge-file is documented to return one of three exit
codes:
- zero means the merge was successful
- a negative number means an error occurred
- a positive number indicates the number of conflicts
Unfortunately, this all gets stuffed into an 8-bit return
code. Which means that if you have 256 conflicts, this wraps
to zero, and the merge appears to succeed (and commits a
blob full of conflict-marker cruft!).
This patch clamps the return value to a maximum of 127,
which we should be able to safely represent everywhere. This
also leaves 128-255 for other values. Shells (and some parts
of git) will typically represent signal death as 128 plus
the signal number. And negative values are typically coerced
to an 8-bit unsigned value (so "return -1" ends up as 255).
Technically negative returns have the same problem (e.g.,
"-256" wraps back to 0), but this is not a problem in
practice, as the only negative value we use is "-1".

Editors on Windows can and do save text files with CRLF line
endings, which is the convention on the platform. We are seeing
reports that the "read" command in a port of bash to the environment
however does not strip the CRLF at the end, not adjusting for the
same convention on the platform.
This breaks the recently added sanity checks for the insn sheet fed
to "rebase -i"; instead of an empty line (hence nothing in $command),
the script was getting a lone CR in there.
Special case a lone CR and treat it the same way as an empty line to
work this around.

add_submodule_odb: initialize alt_odb list earlier
The add_submodule_odb function tries to add a submodule's
object store as an "alternate". It needs the existing list
to be initialized (from the objects/info/alternates file)
for two reasons:
1. We look for duplicates with the existing alternate
stores, but obviously this doesn't work if we haven't
loaded any yet.
2. We link our new entry into the list by prepending it to
alt_odb_list. But we do _not_ modify alt_odb_tail.
This variable starts as NULL, and is a signal to the
alt_odb code that the list has not yet been
initialized.
We then call read_info_alternates on the submodule (to
recursively load its alternates), which will try to
append to that tail, assuming it has been initialized.
This causes us to segfault if it is NULL.
This rarely comes up in practice, because we will have
initialized the alt_odb any time we do an object lookup. So
you can trigger this only when:
- you try to access a submodule (e.g., a diff with
diff.submodule=log)
- the access happens before any other object has been
accessed (e.g., because the diff is between the working
tree and the index)
- the submodule contains an alternates file (so we try to
add an entry to the NULL alt_odb_tail)
To fix this, we just need to call prepare_alt_odb at the
start of the function (and if we have already initialized,
it is a noop).
Note that we can remove the prepare_alt_odb call from the
end. It is guaranteed to be a noop, since we will have
called it earlier.

If one side deletes a file and the other changes its
content, we notice and report a conflict. However, if
instead of changing the content, we change only the mode,
the merge does not notice (and the mode change is silently
dropped).
The trivial index merge notices the problem and correctly
leaves the conflict in the index, but both merge-recursive
and merge-one-file will silently resolve this in favor of
the deletion. In many cases that is a sane resolution, but
we should be punting to the user whenever there is any

Since Git 2.0, "add -u" and "add -A" run from a subdirectory without
any pathspec mean "everything in the working tree" (before 2.0, they
were limited to the current directory). The limiting to the current
directory was implemented by inserting "." to the command line when
the end user did not give us any pathspec. At 2.0, we updated the
code to insert ":/" (instead of '.') to consider everything from the
top-level, by using a pathspec magic "top".
The call to parse_pathspec() using the command line arguments is,
however, made with PATHSPEC_PREFER_FULL option since 5a76aff1 (add:
convert to use parse_pathspec, 2013-07-14), which predates Git 2.0.
In retrospect, there was no need to turn "adding . to limit to the
directory" into "adding :/ to unlimit to everywhere" in Git 2.0;
instead we could just have done "if there is no pathspec on the
command line, just let it be". The parse_pathspec() then would give
us a pathspec that matches everything and all is well.
Incidentally such a simplification also fixes a corner case bug that
stems from the fact that ":/" does not necessarily mean any magic.
A user would say "git --literal-pathspecs add -u :/" from the
command line when she has a directory ':' and wants to add
everything in it (and she knows that her :/ will be taken as
'everything under the sun' magic pathspec unless she disables the
magic with --literal-pathspecs). The internal use of ':/' would
behave the same way as such an explicitly given ":/" when run with
"--literal-pathspecs", and will not add everything under the sun as
the code originally intended.
5096d490 (convert trivial sprintf / strcpy calls to xsnprintf) converted
two sprintf calls. Now GCC warns that "format '%u' expects argument of
type 'unsigned int', but argument 4 has type 'long unsigned int'".
Instead of changing the format string, use a variable of type unsigned
in place of the typedef-ed type DWORD, which hides that it is actually an
unsigned long.
There is no correctness issue with the old code because unsigned long and
unsigned are always of the same size on Windows, even in 64-bit builds.

Documentation: AsciiDoc spells em-dash as double-dashes, not triple
Again, we do not usually process release notes with AsciiDoc, but it
is better to be consistent.
This incidentally reveals breakages left by an ancient 5e00439f
(Documentation: build html for all files in technical and howto,
2012-10-23). The index-format documentation was originally written
to be read as straight text without formatting and when the commit
forced everything in Documentation/ to go through AsciiDoc, it did
not do any adjustment--hence the double-dashes will be seen in the
resulting text that is rendered as preformatted fixed-width without
converted into em-dashes.
The "--reference" option is not the only way to provide a repository
to borrow objects from. A repository that borrows from another
repository can be cloned with "clone --local" and the resulting
repository will borrow from the same repository, which the user
may want to "--dissociate" from.

And finally the endgame. Instead of spawning "git mailinfo" via the
run_command() API the same number of times as there are incoming
patches, make direct internal call to the libified mailinfo() from
"git am" to reduce the spawning overhead, which would matter on some
platforms.
mailinfo: handle charset conversion errors in the caller
Instead of dying in convert_to_utf8(), just report an error and let
the callers handle it. Between the two callers:
- decode_header() silently punts when it cannot parse a broken
RFC2047 encoded text (e.g. when it sees anything other than B or
Q after it sees "=?<charset>") by jumping to release_return,
returning the string it successfully parsed out so far, to the
caller. A piece of string that convert_to_utf8() cannot handle
can be treated the same way.
- handle_commit_msg() doesn't cope with a malformed line well, so
die there for now. We'll lift this even higher in later changes
in this series.
When mailinfo() is eventually libified, the calling "git am" still
will have to write out the log message in the "msg" file for hooks
and other users of the information, but it does not have to reopen
and reread what it wrote earlier if the function kept it in a strbuf.
This also removes the need for seeking and truncating the output
file when we see a scissors mark in the input, which in turn allows
us to lose two callsites of die_errno().
mailinfo: handle_commit_msg() shouldn't be called after finding patchbreak
There is a strange "if (!mi->cmitmsg) return 0" at the very beginning
of handle_commit_msg(), but the condition should never trigger, because:
* The only place cmitmsg is set to NULL is after this function sees
a patch break, closes the FILE * to write the commit log message
and returns 1. This function returns non-zero only from that
codepath.
* The caller of this function, upon seeing a non-zero return,
increments filter_stage, starts treating the input as patch text
and will never call handle_commit_msg() again.
Replace it with an assert(!mi->filter_stage) to ensure the above
observation will stay to be true.
mailinfo: move check for metainfo_charset to convert_to_utf8()
All callers of this function refrain from calling it when
mi->metainfo_charset is NULL; move the check to the callee,
as it already has a few conditions at its beginning to turn
it into a no-op.
mailinfo: move filter/header stage to struct mailinfo
Earlier we got rid of two function-scope static variables that kept
track of the states of helper functions by making them extra arguments
that are passed throughout the callchain. Now we have a convenient
place to store and pass them around in the form of "struct mailinfo",
change them into two fields in the struct.
mailinfo: move global "FILE *fin, *fout" to struct mailinfo
This requires us to pass "struct mailinfo" to more functions
throughout the codepath that read input lines. Incidentally,
later steps are helped by this patch passing the struct to
more callchains.
mailinfo: introduce "struct mailinfo" to hold globals
In this first step, move only 'email' and 'name' fields in there and
remove the corresponding globals. In subsequent patches, more
globals will be moved to this and the structure will be passed
around as a new parameter to more functions.
mailinfo: move global "line" into mailinfo() function
With the previous steps, it becomes clear that the mailinfo()
function is the only one that wants the "line" to be directly
touchable. Move it to the function scope of this function.
mailinfo: do not let find_boundary() touch global "line" directly
With the previous two commits, we established that the local
variable "line" in handle_body() and handle_boundary() functions
always refer to the global "line" that is used as the common and
shared "current line from the input". They are the only callers of
the last function that refers to the global line directly, i.e.
find_boundary(). Pass "line" as a parameter to this leaf function
to complete the clean-up. Now the only function that directly refers
to the global "line" is the caller of handle_body() at the very
beginning of this whole callchain.
mailinfo: do not let handle_boundary() touch global "line" directly
This function has a single caller, and called with the global "line"
holding the multi-part boundary line the caller saw while processing
the e-mail body. The function then goes into a loop to process each
line of the input, and fills the same global "line" variable from
the input as it needs to read more lines to process the multi-part
headers.
Let the caller explicitly pass a pointer to this global "line"
variable as an argument, and have the function itself use that
strbuf throughout, instead of referring to the global "line" itself.
There still is a helper function that this function calls that still
touches the global directly; it will be updated as the series progresses.
mailinfo: do not let handle_body() touch global "line" directly
This function has a single caller, and called with the global "line"
holding the first line of the e-mail body after the caller finished
processing the e-mail headers. The function then goes into a loop
to process each line of the input, starting from what was given by
its caller, and fills the same global "line" variable from the input
as it needs to process more lines.
Let the caller explicitly pass a pointer to this global "line"
variable as an argument, and have the function itself use that
strbuf throughout, instead of referring to the global "line" itself.
There are helper functions that this function calls that still touch
the global directly; they will be updated as the series progresses.
Two helper functions use "static int" in their scope to keep track
of the state while repeatedly getting called once for each input
line. Move these state variables to their ultimate caller and pass
down pointers to them along the callchain, as a small step in
preparation for making this entire callchain more reentrant.
This function wants to call find_boundary() and is called only from
one place without any recursing, so it becomes easier to read if it
appears after the called function.
Stop reusing cache_entry in dir_entry; doing so causes a
use-after-free bug.
During merges, we free entries that we no longer need in the
destination index. But those entries might have also been stored in
the dir_entry cache, and when a later call to add_to_index found them,
they would be used after being freed.
To prevent this, change dir_entry to store a copy of the name instead
of a pointer to a cache_entry. This entails some refactoring of code
that expects the cache_entry.

tag.c: use the correct algorithm for the '--contains' option
In b7cc53e9 (tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs, 2015-09-11) we port tag.c
to use the ref-filter APIs for filtering and printing refs. In
ref-filter we have two implementations for filtering refs when the
'--contains' option is used.
Although they do the same thing, one is optimized for filtering
branches and the other for tags (borrowed from branch.c and tag.c
respectively) and the 'filter->with_commit_tag_algo' bit decides
which algorithm must be used. We should unify these.
When we ported tag.c to use ref-filter APIs we missed out on setting
the 'filter->with_commit_tag_algo' bit. As reported by Jerry
Snitselaar, this causes "git tag --contains" to work way slower than
expected, fix this by setting 'filter->with_commit_tag_algo' in
tag.c before calling 'filter_refs()'.

of things from the standard input are often shown like this:
git gostak [--distim] < <list-of-doshes>
This is problematic in a number of ways:
* The way to use these commands is more often to feed them the
output from another command, not feed them from a file.
* Manual pages outside Git, commands that operate on the data read
from the standard input, e.g "sort", "grep", "sed", etc., are not
described with such a "< redirection-from-file" in their synopsys
text. Our doing so introduces inconsistency.
* We do not insist on where the output should go, by saying
* As it is our convention to enclose placeholders inside <braket>,
the redirection operator followed by a placeholder filename
becomes very hard to read, both in the documentation and in the
help text.
Let's clean them all up, after making sure that the documentation
clearly describes the modes that take information from the standard
input and what kind of things are expected on the input.
