t7810: avoid assumption about invalid regex syntaxJeff King Wed, 11 Jan 2017 11:10:55 +0000 (06:10 -0500)

t7810: avoid assumption about invalid regex syntax

A few of the tests want to check that "git grep -P -E" will
override -P with -E, and vice versa. To do so, we use a
regex with "\x{..}", which is valid in PCRE but not defined
by POSIX (for basic or extended regular expressions).

However, POSIX declares quite a lot of syntax, including
"\x", as "undefined". That leaves implementations free to
extend the standard if they choose. At least one, musl libc,
implements "\x" in the same way as PCRE. Our tests check
that "-E" complains about "\x", which fails with musl.

We can fix this by finding some construct which behaves
reliably on both PCRE and POSIX, but differently in each
system.

One such construct is the use of backslash inside brackets.
In PCRE, "[\d]" interprets "\d" as it would outside the
brackets, matching a digit. Whereas in POSIX, the backslash
must be treated literally, and we match either it or a
literal "d". Moreover, implementations are not free to
change this according to POSIX, so we should be able to rely
on it.

execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal deathJeff King Sat, 7 Jan 2017 01:22:23 +0000 (20:22 -0500)

execv_dashed_external: wait for child on signal death

When you hit ^C to interrupt a git command going to a pager,
this usually leaves the pager running. But when a dashed
external is in use, the pager ends up in a funny state and
quits (but only after eating one more character from the
terminal!). This fixes it.

Explaining the reason will require a little background.

When git runs a pager, it's important for the git process to
hang around and wait for the pager to finish, even though it
has no more data to feed it. This is because git spawns the
pager as a child, and thus the git process is the session
leader on the terminal. After it dies, the pager will finish
its current read from the terminal (eating the one
character), and then get EIO trying to read again.

When you hit ^C, that sends SIGINT to git and to the pager,
and it's a similar situation. The pager ignores it, but the
git process needs to hang around until the pager is done. We
addressed that long ago in a3da882120 (pager: do
wait_for_pager on signal death, 2009-01-22).

But when you have a dashed external (or an alias pointing to
a builtin, which will re-exec git for the builtin), there's
an extra process in the mix. For instance, running:

$ git -c alias.l=log l

will end up with a process tree like:

git (parent)
\
git-log (child)
\
less (pager)

If you hit ^C, SIGINT goes to all of them. The pager ignores
it, and the child git process will end up in wait_for_pager().
But the parent git process will die, and the usual EIO
trouble happens.

So we really want the parent git process to wait_for_pager(),
but of course it doesn't know anything about the pager at
all, since it was started by the child. However, we can
have it wait on the git-log child, which in turn is waiting
on the pager. And that's what this patch does.

There are a few design decisions here worth explaining:

1. The new feature is attached to run-command's
clean_on_exit feature. Partly this is convenience,
since that feature already has a signal handler that
deals with child cleanup.

But it's also a meaningful connection. The main reason
that dashed externals use clean_on_exit is to bind the
two processes together. If somebody kills the parent
with a signal, we propagate that to the child (in this
instance with SIGINT, we do propagate but it doesn't
matter because the original signal went to the whole
process group). Likewise, we do not want the parent
to go away until the child has done so.

In a traditional Unix world, we'd probably accomplish
this binding by just having the parent execve() the
child directly. But since that doesn't work on Windows,
everything goes through run_command's more spawn-like
interface.

2. We do _not_ automatically waitpid() on any
clean_on_exit children. For dashed externals this makes
sense; we know that the parent is doing nothing but
waiting for the child to exit anyway. But with other
children, it's possible that the child, after getting
the signal, could be waiting on the parent to do
something (like closing a descriptor). If we were to
wait on such a child, we'd end up in a deadlock. So
this errs on the side of caution, and lets callers
enable the feature explicitly.

3. When we send children the cleanup signal, we send all
the signals first, before waiting on any children. This
is to avoid the case where one child might be waiting
on another one to exit, causing a deadlock. We inform
all of them that it's time to die before reaping any.

In practice, there is only ever one dashed external run
from a given process, so this doesn't matter much now.
But it future-proofs us if other callers start using
the wait_after_clean mechanism.

There's no automated test here, because it would end up racy
and unportable. But it's easy to reproduce the situation by
running the log command given above and hitting ^C.

execv_dashed_external: stop exiting with negative code

When we try to exec a git sub-command, we pass along the
status code from run_command(). But that may return -1 if we
ran into an error with pipe() or execve(). This tends to
work (and end up as 255 due to twos-complement wraparound
and truncation), but in general it's probably a good idea to
avoid negative exit codes for portability.

We can easily translate to the normal generic "128" code we
get when syscalls cause us to die.

execv_dashed_external: use child_process struct

When we run a dashed external, we use the one-liner
run_command_v_opt() to do so. Let's switch to using a
child_process struct, which has two advantages:

1. We can drop all of the allocation and cleanup code for
building our custom argv array, and just rely on the
builtin argv_array (at the minor cost of doing a few
extra mallocs).

2. We have access to the complete range of child_process
options, not just the ones that the "_opt()" form can
forward.

blame: output porcelain "previous" header for each... Jeff King Fri, 6 Jan 2017 04:20:51 +0000 (23:20 -0500)

blame: output porcelain "previous" header for each file

It's possible for content currently found in one file to
have originated in two separate files, each of which may
have been modified in some single older commit. The
--porcelain output generates an incorrect "previous" header
in this case, whereas --line-porcelain gets it right. The
problem is that the porcelain output tries to omit repeated
details of commits, and treats "previous" as a property of
the commit, when it is really a property of the blamed block
of lines.

Let's look at an example. In a case like this, you might see
this output from --line-porcelain:

SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
filename file_one
...some line content...
SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_two
filename file_two
...some different content....

The "filename" fields tell us that the two lines are from
two different files. But notice that the filename also
appears in the "previous" field, which tells us where to
start a re-blame. The second content line never appeared in
file_one at all, so we would obviously need to re-blame from
file_two (or possibly even some other file, if had just been
renamed to file_two in SOME_SHA1).

So far so good. Now here's what --porcelain looks like:

SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
filename file_one
...some line content...
SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
filename file_two
...some different content....

We've dropped the author and committer fields from the
second line, as they would just be repeats. But we can't
omit "filename", because it depends on the actual block of
blamed lines, not just the commit. This is handled by
emit_porcelain_details(), which will show the filename
either if it is the first mention of the commit _or_ if the
commit has multiple paths in it.

But we don't give "previous" the same handling. It's written
inside emit_one_suspect_detail(), which bails early if we've
already seen that commit. And so the output above is wrong;
a reader would assume that the correct place to re-blame
line two is from file_one, but that's obviously nonsense.

Let's treat "previous" the same as "filename", and show it
fresh whenever we know we are in a confusing case like this.

blame: handle --no-abbrevJeff King Fri, 6 Jan 2017 04:18:08 +0000 (23:18 -0500)

blame: handle --no-abbrev

You can already ask blame for full sha1s with "-l" or with
"--abbrev=40". But for consistency with other parts of Git,
we should support "--no-abbrev".

Worse, blame already accepts --no-abbrev, but it's totally
broken. When we see --no-abbrev, the abbrev variable is set
to 0, which is then used as a printf precision. For regular
sha1s, that means we print nothing at all (which is very
wrong). For boundary commits we decrement it to "-1", which
printf interprets as "no limit" (which is almost correct,
except it misses the 39-length magic explained in the
previous commit).

Let's detect --no-abbrev and behave as if --abbrev=40 was
given.

blame: fix alignment with --abbrev=40Jeff King Fri, 6 Jan 2017 04:17:40 +0000 (23:17 -0500)

blame: fix alignment with --abbrev=40

The blame command internally adds 1 to any requested sha1
abbreviation length, and then subtracts it when outputting a
boundary commit. This lets regular and boundary sha1s line
up visually, but it misses one corner case.

When the requested length is 40, we bump the value to 41.
But since we only have 40 characters, that's all we can show
(fortunately the truncation is done by a printf precision
field, so it never tries to read past the end of the
buffer). So a normal sha1 shows 40 hex characters, and a
boundary sha1 shows "^" plus 40 hex characters. The result
is misaligned.

The "-l" option to show long sha1s gets around this by
skipping the "abbrev" variable entirely and just always
using GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ. This avoids the "+1" issue, but it
does mean that boundary commits only have 39 characters
printed. This is somewhat odd, but it does look good
visually: the results are aligned and left-justified. The
alternative would be to allocate an extra column that would
contain either an extra space or the "^" boundary marker.

As this is by definition the human-readable view, it's
probably not that big a deal either way (and of course
--porcelain, etc, correctly produce correct 40-hex sha1s).
But for consistency, this patch teaches --abbrev=40 to
produce the same output as "-l" (always left-aligned, with
40-hex for normal sha1s, and "^" plus 39-hex for
boundaries).

rebase--interactive: count squash commits above 10... Jeff King Sat, 7 Jan 2017 08:23:19 +0000 (03:23 -0500)

rebase--interactive: count squash commits above 10 correctly

We generate the squash commit message incrementally running
a sed script once for each commit. It parses "This is
a combination of <N> commits" from the first line of the
existing message, adds one to <N>, and uses the result as
the number of our current message.

Since f2d17068fd (i18n: rebase-interactive: mark comments of
squash for translation, 2016-06-17), the first line may be
localized, and sed uses a pretty liberal regex, looking for:

/^#.*([0-9][0-9]*)/

The "[0-9][0-9]*" tries to match double digits, but it
doesn't quite work. The first ".*" is greedy, so if you
have:

This is a combination of 10 commits.

it will eat up "This is a combination of 1", leaving "0" to
match the first "[0-9]" digit, and then skipping the
optional match of "[0-9]*".

As a result, the count resets every 10 commits, and a
15-commit squash would end up as:

# This is a combination of 5 commits.
# This is the 1st commit message:
...
# This is the commit message #2:
... and so on ..
# This is the commit message #10:
...
# This is the commit message #1:
...
# This is the commit message #2:
... etc, up to 5 ...

We can fix this by making the ".*" less greedy. Instead of
depending on ".*?" working portably, we can just limit the
match to non-digit characters, which accomplishes the same
thing.

archive-zip: load userdiff config

Since 4aff646d17 (archive-zip: mark text files in archives,
2015-03-05), the zip archiver will look at the userdiff
driver to decide whether a file is text or binary. This
usually doesn't need to look any further than the attributes
themselves (e.g., "-diff", etc). But if the user defines a
custom driver like "diff=foo", we need to look at
"diff.foo.binary" in the config. Prior to this patch, we
didn't actually load it.

auto gc: don't write bitmaps for incremental repacks

When git gc --auto does an incremental repack of loose objects, we do
not expect to be able to write a bitmap; it is very likely that
objects in the new pack will have references to objects outside of the
pack. So we shouldn't try to write a bitmap, because doing so will
likely issue a warning.

This warning was making its way into gc.log. When the gc.log was
present, future auto gc runs would refuse to run.

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

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).

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

fast-import: properly fanout notes when tree is importedMike Hommey Tue, 20 Dec 2016 21:04:48 +0000 (06:04 +0900)

fast-import: properly fanout notes when tree is imported

In typical uses of fast-import, trees are inherited from a parent
commit. In that case, the tree_entry for the branch looks like:

.versions[1].sha1 = $some_sha1
.tree = <tree structure loaded from $some_sha1>

However, when trees are imported, rather than inherited, that is not the
case. One can import a tree with a filemodify command, replacing the
root tree object.

e.g.
"M 040000 $some_sha1 \n"

In this case, the tree_entry for the branch looks like:

.versions[1].sha1 = $some_sha1
.tree = NULL

When adding new notes with the notemodify command, do_change_note_fanout
is called to get a notes count, and to do so, it loops over the
tree_entry->tree, but doesn't do anything when the tree is NULL.

In the latter case above, it means do_change_note_fanout thinks the tree
contains no notes, and new notes are added with no fanout.

Interestingly, do_change_note_fanout does check whether subdirectories
have a NULL .tree, in which case it uses load_tree(). Which means the
right behaviour happens when using the filemodify command to import
subdirectories.

This change makes do_change_note_fanount call load_tree() whenever the
tree_entry it is given has no tree loaded, making all cases handled
equally.

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 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.

t0021.15 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.

You can run "git index-pack path/to/foo.pack" outside of a

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

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().

t5547-push-quarantine: run the path separator test on Windows, too

To perform the test case on Windows in a way that corresponds to the
POSIX version, inject the semicolon in a directory name.

Typically, an absolute POSIX style path, such as the one in $PWD, is
translated into a Windows style path by bash when it invokes git.exe.
However, the presence of the semicolon suppresses this translation;
but the untranslated POSIX style path is useless for git.exe.
Therefore, instead of $PWD pass the Windows style path that $(pwd)
produces.

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.

corrected how path arguments are handled in a subdirectory, but
it introduced a regression in how entries outside of the

When preparing the right-side of the diff we only include the

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.

mingw: intercept isatty() to handle /dev/null as Git... Johannes Schindelin Sun, 11 Dec 2016 11:16:57 +0000 (12:16 +0100)

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.

diff: handle --no-abbrev in no-index caseJack Bates Tue, 6 Dec 2016 16:56:14 +0000 (09:56 -0700)

diff: handle --no-abbrev in no-index case

There are two different places where the --no-abbrev option is parsed,
and two different places where SHA-1s are abbreviated. We normally parse
--no-abbrev with setup_revisions(), but in the no-index case, "git diff"
calls diff_opt_parse() directly, and diff_opt_parse() didn't handle
--no-abbrev until now. (It did handle --abbrev, however.) We normally
abbreviate SHA-1s with find_unique_abbrev(), but commit 4f03666 ("diff:
handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository, 2016-10-20) recently
introduced a special case when you run "git diff" outside of a
repository.

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.

shallow.c: remove useless codeNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Tue, 6 Dec 2016 12:53:39 +0000 (19:53 +0700)

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.

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.
