sq_dequote: fix extra consumption of source string
This fixes a (probably harmless) parsing problem in
sq_dequote_step(), in which we parse some bogus input
incorrectly rather than complaining that it's bogus.
Our shell-dequoting function is very strict: it can unquote
everything generated by sq_quote(), but not arbitrary
strings. In particular, it only allows characters outside of
the single-quoted string if they are immediately backslashed
and then the single-quoted string is resumed. So:
'foo'\''bar'
is OK. But these are not:
'foo'\'bar
'foo'\'
'foo'\'\''bar'
even though they are all valid shell. The parser has a funny
corner case here. When we see a backslashed character, we
keep incrementing the "src" pointer as we parse it. For a
single sq_dequote() call, that's OK; our next step is to
bail with an error, and we don't care where "src" points.
But if we're parsing multiple strings with sq_dequote_to_argv(),
then our next step is to see if the string is followed by
whitespace. Because we erroneously incremented the "src"
pointer, we don't barf on the bogus backslash that we
skipped. Instead, we may find whitespace that immediately
follows it, and continue as if all is well (skipping the
backslashed character completely!).
In practice, this shouldn't be a big deal. The input is
bogus, and our sq_quote() would never generate this bogus
input. In all but one callers, we are parsing input created
by an earlier call to sq_quote(). That final case is "git
shell", which parses shell-quoting generated by the client.
And in that case we use the singular sq_quote(), which has
always behaved correctly.
One might also wonder if you could provoke a read past the
end of the string. But the answer is no; we still parse
character by character, and would never advance past a NUL.
This patch implements the minimal fix, along with
documenting the restriction (which confused at least me
while reading the code). We should possibly consider
being more liberal in accepting valid shell-quoted words. I
suspect the code may actually be simpler, and it would be
more friendly to anybody generating or editing input by
hand. But I wanted to fix just the immediate bug in this
patch.
We don't have a direct way to unit-test the sq_dequote()
functions, but we can do this by feeding input to
GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS (which is not normally a user-facing
interface, but serves here as it expects to see sq_quote()
input from "git -c"). I've included both a bogus example,
and a related "good" one to confirm that we still parse it
correctly.

The hashmap API always use an unsigned value for storing
and comparing hashes. Whereas this test code uses "int".
This works out in practice since one can typically
round-trip between "int" and "unsigned int". But since this
is essentially reference code for the hashmap API, we should
model using the correct types.

This function takes two ptr/len pairs, which implies that
they can be arbitrary buffers. But internally, it assumes
that each "ptr" is NUL-terminated at "len" (because we
memcpy an extra byte to pick up the NUL terminator).
In practice this works because each caller only ever passes
strlen(ptr) as the length. But let's drop the "len"
parameters to make our expectations clear.
Note that we can get rid of the "l1" and "l2" variables from
cmd_main() as a further cleanup, since they are now mostly
used to check whether the p1 and p2 arguments are present
(technically the length parameters conflated NULL with the
empty string, which we no longer do, but I think that is
actually an improvement).

test-hashmap: use strbuf_getline rather than fgets
Using fgets() with a fixed-size buffer can lead to lines
being accidentally split across two calls if they are larger
than the buffer size.
As this is just a test helper, this is unlikely to be a
problem in practice. But since people may look at test
helpers as reference code, it's a good idea for them to
model the preferred behavior.

In general, using a bare snprintf can truncate the resulting
buffer, leading to confusing results. In this case we know
that our buffer is sized large enough to accommodate our
loop, so there's no bug. However, we should use xsnprintf()
to document (and check) that assumption, and to model good
practice to people reading the code.

test-hashmap: check allocation computation for overflow
When we allocate the test_entry flex-struct, we have to add
up all of the elements that go into the flex array. If these
were to overflow a size_t, this would allocate a too-small
buffer, which we would then overflow in our memcpy steps.
Since this is just a test-helper, it probably doesn't matter
in practice, but we should model the correct technique by
using the st_add() macros.
Unfortunately, we cannot use the FLEX_ALLOC() macros here,
because we are stuffing two different buffers into a single
flex array.
While we're here, let's also swap out "malloc" for our
error-checking "xmalloc", and use the preferred
"sizeof(*var)" instead of "sizeof(type)".

test-hashmap: use ALLOC_ARRAY rather than bare malloc
These two array allocations have several minor flaws:
- they use bare malloc, rather than our error-checking
xmalloc
- they do a bare multiplication to determine the total
size (which in theory can overflow, though in this case
the sizes are all constants)
- they use sizeof(type), but the type in the second one
doesn't match the actual array (though it's "int" versus
"unsigned int", which are guaranteed by C99 to have the
same size)
None of these are likely to be problems in practice, and
this is just a test helper. But since people often look at
test helpers as reference code, we should do our best to
model the recommended techniques.
Switching to ALLOC_ARRAY fixes all three.

worktree remove: allow it when $GIT_WORK_TREE is already gone
"git worktree remove" basically consists of two things
- delete $GIT_WORK_TREE
- delete $GIT_DIR (which is $SUPER_GIT_DIR/worktrees/something)
If $GIT_WORK_TREE is already gone for some reason, we should be able
to finish the job by deleting $GIT_DIR.
Two notes:
- $GIT_WORK_TREE _can_ be missing if the worktree is locked. In that
case we must not delete $GIT_DIR because the real $GIT_WORK_TREE may
be in a usb stick somewhere. This is already handled because we
check for lock first.
- validate_worktree() is still called because it may do more checks in
future (and it already does something else, like checking main
worktree, but that's irrelevant in this case)

This command allows to delete a worktree. Like 'move' you cannot
remove the main worktree, or one with submodules inside [1].
For deleting $GIT_WORK_TREE, Untracked files or any staged entries are
considered precious and therefore prevent removal by default. Ignored
files are not precious.
When it comes to deleting $GIT_DIR, there's no "clean" check because
there should not be any valuable data in there, except:
- HEAD reflog. There is nothing we can do about this until somebody
steps up and implements the ref graveyard.
- Detached HEAD. Technically it can still be recovered. Although it
may be nice to warn about orphan commits like 'git checkout' does.
[1] We do 'git status' with --ignore-submodules=all for safety
anyway. But this needs a closer look by submodule people before we
can allow deletion. For example, if a submodule is totally clean,
but its repo not absorbed to the main .git dir, then deleting
worktree also deletes the valuable .submodule repo too.

Prior to 644eb60bd0 (builtin/describe.c: describe a blob,
2017-11-15), we noticed and complained about missing
objects, since they were not valid commits:
After that commit, we feed any non-commit to lookup_blob(),
and complain only if it returns NULL. But the lookup_*
functions do not actually look at the on-disk object
database at all. They return an entry from the in-memory
object hash if present (and if it matches the requested
type), and otherwise auto-create a "struct object" of the
requested type.
A missing object would hit that latter case: we create a
bogus blob struct, walk all of history looking for it, and
then exit successfully having produced no output.
One reason nobody may have noticed this is that some related
cases do still work OK:
1. If we ask for a tree by sha1, then the call to
lookup_commit_referecne_gently() would have parsed it,
and we would have its true type in the in-memory object
hash.
2. If we ask for a name that doesn't exist but isn't a
40-hex sha1, then get_oid() would complain before we
even look at the objects at all.
We can fix this by replacing the lookup_blob() call with a
check of the true type via sha1_object_info(). This is not
quite as efficient as we could possibly make this check. We
know in most cases that the object was already parsed in the
earlier commit lookup, so we could call lookup_object(),
which does auto-create, and check the resulting struct's
type (or NULL). However it's not worth the fragility nor
code complexity to save a single object lookup.
The new tests cover this case, as well as that of a
tree-by-sha1 (which does work as described above, but was
not explicitly tested).

Before this feature it was painful to support the use-case of pulling
from a repo which is having both its branches *and* tags deleted
regularly, and have our local references to reflect upstream.
At work we create deployment tags in the repo for each rollout, and
there's *lots* of those, so they're archived within weeks for
performance reasons.
Without this change it's hard to centrally configure such repos in
/etc/gitconfig (on servers that are only used for working with
them). You need to set fetch.prune=true globally, and then for each
repo:
Now I can simply set fetch.pruneTags=true in /etc/gitconfig as well,
and users running "git pull" will automatically get the pruning
semantics I want.
Even though "git remote" has corresponding "prune" and "update
--prune" subcommands I'm intentionally not adding a corresponding
prune-tags or "update --prune --prune-tags" mode to that command.
It's advertised (as noted in my recent "git remote doc: correct
dangerous lies about what prune does") as only modifying remote
tracking references, whereas any --prune-tags option is always going
to modify what from the user's perspective is a local copy of the tag,
since there's no such thing as a remote tracking tag.
Ideally add_prune_tags_to_fetch_refspec() would be something that
would use ALLOC_GROW() to grow the 'fetch` member of the 'remote'
struct. Instead I'm realloc-ing remote->fetch and adding the
tag_refspec to the end.
The reason is that parse_{fetch,push}_refspec which allocate the
refspec (ultimately remote->fetch) struct are called many places that
don't have access to a 'remote' struct. It would be hard to change all
their callsites to be amenable to carry around the bookkeeping
variables required for dynamic allocation.
All the other callers of the API first incrementally construct the
string version of the refspec in remote->fetch_refspec via
add_fetch_refspec(), before finally calling parse_fetch_refspec() via
some variation of remote_get().
It's less of a pain to deal with the one special case that needs to
modify already constructed refspecs than to chase down and change all
the other callsites. The API I'm adding is intentionally not
generalized because if we add more of these we'd probably want to
re-visit how this is done.

fetch tests: add scaffolding for the new fetch.pruneTags
The fetch.pruneTags configuration doesn't exist yet, but will be added
in a subsequent commit. Since testing for it requires adding new
parameters to the test_configured_prune function it's easier to review
this patch first to assert that no functional changes are introduced
yet.

git-fetch & config doc: link to the new PRUNING section
Amend the documentation for fetch.prune, fetch.<name>.prune and
--prune to link to the recently added PRUNING section.
I'd have liked to link directly to it with "<<PRUNING>>" from
fetch-options.txt, since it's included in git-fetch.txt (git-pull.txt
also includes it, but doesn't include that option). However making a
reference across files yields this error:
[...]/Documentation/git-fetch.xml:226: element xref: validity

git remote doc: correct dangerous lies about what prune does
The "git remote prune <name>" command uses the same machinery as "git
fetch <name> --prune", and shares all the same caveats, but its
documentation has suggested that it'll just "delete stale
remote-tracking branches under <name>".
This isn't true, and hasn't been true since at least v1.8.5.6 (the
oldest version I could be bothered to test).
E.g. if "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" is explicitly set in the refspec of
the remote, it'll delete all local tags <name> doesn't know about.
Instead, briefly give the reader just enough of a hint that this
option might constitute a shotgun aimed at their foot, and point them
to the new PRUNING section in the git-fetch documentation which
explains all the nuances of what this facility does.
See "[BUG] git remote prune removes local tags, depending on fetch
config" (CACi5S_39wNrbfjLfn0xhCY+uewtFN2YmnAcRc86z6pjUTjWPHQ@mail.gmail.com)
by Michael Giuffrida for the initial report.

git fetch doc: add a new section to explain the ins & outs of pruning
Add a new section to canonically explain how remote reference pruning
works, and how users should be careful about using it in conjunction
with tag refspecs in particular.
A subsequent commit will update the git-remote documentation to refer
to this section, and details the motivation for writing this in the
first place.

fetch tests: fetch <url> <spec> as well as fetch [<remote>]
When a remote URL is supplied on the command-line the internals of the
fetch are different, in particular the code in get_ref_map(). An
earlier version of the subsequent fetch.pruneTags patch hid a segfault
because the difference wasn't tested for.
Now all the tests are run as both of the variants of:
I'm using -c because while the [fetch] config just set by
set_config_tristate will be picked up, the remote.origin.* config
won't override it as intended.
Work around that and turn this into a purely command-line test by
always setting the variables on the command-line, and translate any
setting of remote.origin.X into fetch.X.
The reason for choosing the names "name" and "link" as opposed to
e.g. "named" and "url" is because they're the same length, which makes
the test output easier to read as it will be aligned.
Due to shellscript quoting madness it's not worthwhile to do all of
this within a test_expect_success, but do the parts that can easily be
done there, including the one-time setting of variables that don't
change between runs to be used by subsequent runs in the 'prune_type
setup' test.

fetch tests: double quote a variable for interpolation
If the $cmdline variable contains arguments with spaces they won't be
interpolated correctly, since the body of the test is single quoted,
and because test-lib.sh does its own eval().
This will be used in a subsequent commit to pass arguments that need
to be quoted to git-fetch, i.e. a file:// path to fetch, which will
have a space in it.

Add a test for the interaction between explicitly provided refspecs
and fetch.prune.
There's no point in adding this boilerplate to every combination of
unset/false/true, it's instructive and sufficient to show that no
matter if the variable is unset, false or true the refspec on the
command-line overrides any configuration variable.

fetch tests: add a tag to be deleted to the pruning tests

fetch tests: re-arrange arguments for future readability
Re-arrange the arguments to the test_configured_prune() function used
in this test to pass the arguments to --fetch last. A subsequent
change will test for more elaborate fetch arguments, including long
refspecs. It'll be more readable to be able to wrap those on a new
line of their own.

fetch tests: refactor in preparation for testing tag pruning

pruning, prepare for that by making space for more variables, and
making it clear that "expected" here refers to branches.

Add a macro with the refspec string "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*". There's
been a pre-defined struct version of this since e0aaa29ff3 ("Have a
constant extern refspec for "--tags"", 2008-04-17), but nothing that
could be passed to e.g. add_fetch_refspec().
This will be used in subsequent commits to avoid hardcoding this
string in multiple places.

Access the "remote" variable passed to the fetch_one() directly rather
than through the gtransport wrapper struct constructed in this
function for other purposes.
This makes the code more readable, as it's now obvious that the remote
struct doesn't somehow get munged by the prepare_transport() function
above, which takes the "remote" struct as an argument and constructs
the "gtransport" struct, containing among other things the "remote"
struct.
A subsequent change will copy this pattern to access a new
remote->prune_tags field, but without the use of the gtransport
variable. It's useful once that change lands to see that the two
pieces of code behave exactly the same.
This pattern of accessing the container struct was added in 737c5a9cde ("fetch: make --prune configurable", 2013-07-13) when this
code was initially introduced.

Trivially refactor an assignment to make a subsequent patch
smaller. The "ref_nr" variable is initialized to 0 earlier, just as
"j" is, and "j" is only incremented in that loop, so this change isn't
a logic error.
This change simplifies a subsequent change, which will split the
incrementing of "ref_nr" into two blocks.

fetch: don't redundantly NULL something calloc() gave us
Stop redundantly NULL-ing the last element of the refs structure,
which was retrieved via calloc(), and is thus guaranteed to be
pre-NULL'd.
This code dates back to b888d61c83 ("Make fetch a builtin",
2007-09-10), where wasn't any reason to do this back then either, it's
just boilerplate left over from when git-fetch was initially
introduced.
The motivation for this change was to make a subsequent change which
would also modify the refs variable smaller, since it won't have to
copy this redundant "NULL the last + 1 item" pattern.
We may not end up keeping that change, but as this pattern is still
pointless, so let's fix it.
