tests: fix tests broken under GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease

The GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time testing option added in my
bb946bba76 ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly
translator", 2011-02-22) has been slowly bitrotting as strings have
been marked for translation, and new tests have been added without
running it.

I brought this up on the list ("[BUG] test suite broken with
GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease", [1]) asking whether this mode was useful at
all anymore. At least one person occasionally uses it, and Lars
Schneider offered to change one of the the Travis builds to run in
this mode, so fix up the failing ones.

My test setup runs most of the tests, with the notable exception of
skipping all the p4 tests, so it's possible that there's still some
lurking regressions I haven't fixed.

However, when used with "-m", "--empty" does not make any sense,

t0027: tests are not expensive; remove t0025Torsten Bögershausen Wed, 10 May 2017 14:06:19 +0000 (16:06 +0200)

t0027: tests are not expensive; remove t0025

The purpose of t0027 is to test all CRLF related conversions at "git
checkout" and "git add". Running t0027 under Git for Windows takes
3-4 minutes, so the whole script had been marked as "EXPENSIVE".

However, the "Git for Windows" fork overrides this since 2014:
"t0027 is marked expensive, but really, for MinGW we want to run
these tests always."

The test seems not to be expensive on other platforms at all: it
takes less than 14 seconds under Linux, and 63 seconds under Mac Os
X, and this is more or less the same with a SSD or a spinning disk.

So let's drop the "EXPENSIVE" prereq.

While at it, retire t0025; recent "stress" tests show that t0025 is
flaky, reported by Lars Schneider <larsxschneider@gmail.com>, but
all tests in t0025 are covered by t0027 already.

t4051: mark supporting files as requiring LF-only line endings

The test t4051-diff-function-context.sh passes on Linux when
core.autocrlf=true even without marking its support files as LF-only,
but they fail when core.autocrlf=true in Git for Windows' SDK.

The reason is that `grep ... >file.c.new` will keep CR/LF line endings
on Linux (obviously treating CRs as if they were regular characters),
but will be converted to LF-only line endings with MSYS2's grep that is
used in Git for Windows.

As we do not want to validate the way the available `grep` works, let's
just mark the input as LF-only and move on.

Fix the remaining tests that failed with core.autocrlf... Johannes Schindelin Tue, 9 May 2017 12:54:27 +0000 (14:54 +0200)

Fix the remaining tests that failed with core.autocrlf=true

The test suite is mainly developed on Linux and MacOSX, which is the
reason that nobody thought to mark files as LF-only as needed.

The symptom is a test suite that fails left and right when being checked
out using Git for Windows (which defaults to core.autocrlf=true).

Mostly, the problems stem from Git's (LF-only) output being compared to
hard-coded files that are checked out with line endings according to
core.autocrlf (which is of course incorrect). This includes the two test
files in t/diff-lib/, README and COPYING.

This patch can be validated even on Linux by using this cadence:

git config core.autocrlf true
rm .git/index && git stash
make -j15 DEVELOPER=1 test

The current convention is to either generate files on the fly in tests,
or to use supporting files taken from a t/tNNNN/ directory (where NNNN
matches the test's number, or the number of the test from which we
borrow supporting files).

The test t3901-i18n-patch.sh was obviously introduced before that

its scripts to have line feeds as end-of-line markers (this is
particularly prominent in quoted multi-line strings, where carriage

Fix build with core.autocrlf=trueJohannes Schindelin Tue, 9 May 2017 12:53:21 +0000 (14:53 +0200)

Fix build with core.autocrlf=true

On Windows, the default line endings are denoted by a Carriage Return
byte followed by a Line Feed byte, while Linux and MacOSX use a single
Line Feed byte to denote a line ending.

To help with this situation, Git introduced several mechanisms over the
last decade, most prominently the `core.autocrlf` setting.

Sometimes, however, a single setting is incorrect, e.g. when certain
files in the source code are to be consumed by software that can handle
only LF line endings, while other files can use whatever is appropriate
for the current platform.

To allow for that, Git added the `eol` option to its .gitattributes
handling, expecting every user of Git to mark their source code
appropriately.

Bash assumes that line-endings of scripts are denoted by a single Line
Feed byte. Therefore, shell scripts in Git's source code are one example
where that `eol=lf` option is *required*.

When generating common-cmds.h, the Unix tools we use generally operate on
the assumption that input and output deliminate their lines using LF-only
line endings. Consequently, they would happily copy the CR byte verbatim
into the strings in common-cmds.h, which in turn makes the C preprocessor
barf (that interprets them as MacOS-style line endings). Therefore, we
have to mark the input files as LF-only: command-list.txt and
Documentation/git-*.txt.

Quite a bit belatedly, this patch brings Git's own source code in line
with those expectations by setting those attributes to allow for a
correct build even when core.autocrlf=true.

This patch can be validated even on Linux, by using this cadence:

git config core.autocrlf true
rm .git/index && git stash
make -j15 DEVELOPER=1

receive-pack: verify push options in certJonathan Tan Tue, 9 May 2017 19:23:53 +0000 (12:23 -0700)

receive-pack: verify push options in cert

In commit f6a4e61 ("push: accept push options", 2016-07-14), send-pack
was taught to include push options both within the signed cert (if the
push is a signed push) and outside the signed cert; however,
receive-pack ignores push options within the cert, only handling push
options outside the cert.

Teach receive-pack, in the case that push options are provided for a
signed push, to verify that the push options both within the cert and
outside the cert are consistent.

This sets in stone the requirement that send-pack redundantly send its
push options in 2 places, but I think that this is better than the
alternatives. Sending push options only within the cert is
backwards-incompatible with existing Git servers (which read push
options only from outside the cert), and sending push options only
outside the cert means that the push options are not signed for.

pack-objects: disable pack reuse for object-selection... Jeff King Tue, 9 May 2017 02:54:13 +0000 (22:54 -0400)

pack-objects: disable pack reuse for object-selection options

If certain options like --honor-pack-keep, --local, or
--incremental are used with pack-objects, then we need to
feed each potential object to want_object_in_pack() to see
if it should be filtered out. But when the bitmap
reuse_packfile optimization is in effect, we do not call
that function at all, and in fact skip adding the objects to
the to_pack list entirely. This means we have a bug: for
certain requests we will silently ignore those options and
include objects in that pack that should not be there.

The problem has been present since the inception of the
pack-reuse code in 6b8fda2db (pack-objects: use bitmaps when
packing objects, 2013-12-21), but it was unlikely to come up
in practice. These options are generally used for on-disk
packing, not transfer packs (which go to stdout), but we've
never allowed pack reuse for non-stdout packs (until
645c432d6, we did not even use bitmaps, which the reuse
optimization relies on; after that, we explicitly turned it
off when not packing to stdout).

We can fix this by just disabling the reuse_packfile
optimization when the options are in use. In theory we could
teach the pack-reuse code to satisfy these checks, but it's
not worth the complexity. The purpose of the optimization is
to keep the amount of per-object work we do to a minimum.
But these options inherently require us to search for other
copies of each object, drowning out any benefit of the
pack-reuse optimization. But note that the optimizations
from 56dfeb626 (pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep
early, 2016-07-29) happen before pack-reuse, meaning that
specifying "--honor-pack-keep" in a repository with no .keep
files can still follow the fast path.

There are tests in t5310 that check these options with
bitmaps and --stdout, but they didn't catch the bug, and
it's hard to adapt them to do so.

One problem is that they don't use --delta-base-offset;
without that option, we always disable the reuse
optimization entirely. It would be fine to add it in (it
actually makes the test more realistic), but that still
isn't quite enough.

The other problem is that the reuse code is very picky; it
only kicks in when it can reuse most of a pack, starting
from the first byte. So we'd have to start from a fully
repacked and bitmapped state to trigger it. But the tests
for these options use a much more subtle state; they want to
be sure that the want_object_in_pack() code is allowing some
objects but not others. Doing a full repack runs counter to
that.

So this patch adds new tests at the end of the script which
create the fully-packed state and make sure that each option
is not fooled by reusable pack.

split_commit_in_progress(): simplify & fix memory leak

This function did a whole lot of unnecessary work, such as reading in
four files just to figure out that, oh, hey, we do not need to look at
them after all because the HEAD is not detached.

Simplify the entire function to return early when possible, to read in
the files only when necessary, and to release the allocated memory
always (there was a leak, reported via Coverity, where we failed to
release the allocated strings if the HEAD is not detached).

mailinfo & mailsplit: check for EOF while parsing

While POSIX states that it is okay to pass EOF to isspace() (and it seems
to be implied that EOF should *not* be treated as whitespace), and also to
pass EOF to ungetc() (which seems to be intended to fail without buffering
the character), it is much better to handle these cases explicitly. Not
only does it reduce head-scratching (and helps static analysis avoid
reporting false positives), it also lets us handle files containing
nothing but whitespace by erroring out.

winansi: avoid use of uninitialized valueJohannes Schindelin Thu, 4 May 2017 13:55:29 +0000 (15:55 +0200)

winansi: avoid use of uninitialized value

To initialize the foreground color attributes of "plain text", our ANSI
emulation tries to infer them from the currently attached console while
running the is_console() function. This function first tries to detect any
console attached to stdout, then it is called with stderr.

If neither stdout nor stderr has any console attached, it does not
actually matter what we use for "plain text" attributes, as we never need
to output any text to any console in that case.

However, after working on stdout and stderr, is_console() is called with
stdin, and it still tries to initialize the "plain text" attributes if
they had not been initialized earlier. In this case, we cannot detect any
attributes, and we used an uninitialized value for them.

Naturally, Coverity complained about this use case because it could not
reason about the code deeply enough to figure out that we do not even use
those attributes in that case.

Let's just initialize the value to 0 in that case, both to avoid future
Coverity reports, and to help catch future regressions in case anybody
changes the order of the is_console() calls (which would make the text
black on black).

shell: disallow repo names beginning with dashJeff King Sat, 29 Apr 2017 12:36:44 +0000 (08:36 -0400)

shell: disallow repo names beginning with dash

When a remote server uses git-shell, the client side will
connect to it like:

ssh server "git-upload-pack 'foo.git'"

and we literally exec ("git-upload-pack", "foo.git"). In
early versions of upload-pack and receive-pack, we took a
repository argument and nothing else. But over time they
learned to accept dashed options. If the user passes a
repository name that starts with a dash, the results are
confusing at best (we complain of a bogus option instead of
a non-existent repository) and malicious at worst (the user
can start an interactive pager via "--help").

We could pass "--" to the sub-process to make sure the
user's argument is interpreted as a branch name. I.e.:

git-upload-pack -- -foo.git

But adding "--" automatically would make us inconsistent
with a normal shell (i.e., when git-shell is not in use),
where "-foo.git" would still be an error. For that case, the
client would have to specify the "--", but they can't do so
reliably, as existing versions of git-shell do not allow
more than a single argument.

The simplest thing is to simply disallow "-" at the start of
the repo name argument. This hasn't worked either with or
without git-shell since version 1.0.0, and nobody has
complained.

Note that this patch just applies to do_generic_cmd(), which
runs upload-pack, receive-pack, and upload-archive. There
are two other types of commands that git-shell runs:

- do_cvs_cmd(), but this already restricts the argument to
be the literal string "server"

- admin-provided commands in the git-shell-commands
directory. We'll pass along arbitrary arguments there,
so these commands could have similar problems. But these
commands might actually understand dashed arguments, so
we cannot just block them here. It's up to the writer of
the commands to make sure they are safe. With great
power comes great responsibility.

Since commit 2f8952250a ("regex: add regexec_buf() that can work on a
non NUL-terminated string", 2016-09-21) git has errored out at
compile-time if the regular expression library doesn't support
REG_STARTEND.

While looking through Google search results for the use of NO_REGEX I
found a Chef recipe that set this on AIX[1], looking through the
documentation for the latest version of AIX (7.2, released October
2015) shows that its regexec() doesn't have REG_STARTEND.

submodule: properly recurse for read-tree and checkout

We forgot to prepare the submodule env, which is only a problem for
nested submodules. See 2e5d6503bd (ls-files: fix recurse-submodules
with nested submodules, 2017-04-13) for further explanation.

To come up with a proper test for this, we'd need to look at nested
submodules just as in that given commit. It turns out we're lucky
and these tests already exist, but are marked as failing. We need
to pass `--recurse-submodules` to read-tree additionally to make
these tests pass. Passing that flag alone would not make the tests
pass, such that this covers testing for the bug fix of the submodule
env as well.

submodule_move_head: reuse child_process structure for futher commands

We do not need to declare another struct child_process, but we can just
reuse the existing `cp` struct.

clone: handle empty config values in -cJonathan Nieder Tue, 2 May 2017 00:05:15 +0000 (17:05 -0700)

clone: handle empty config values in -c

"git clone --config" uses the following incantation to add an item to
a config file, instead of replacing an existing value:

git_config_set_multivar_gently(key, value, "^$", 0)

As long as no existing value matches the regex ^$, that works as
intended and adds to the config. When a value is empty, though, it
replaces the existing value.

Noticed while trying to set credential.helper during a clone to use a
specific helper without inheriting from ~/.gitconfig and
/etc/gitconfig. That is, I ran

git clone -c credential.helper= \
-c credential.helper=myhelper \
https://example.com/repo

intending to produce the configuration

[credential]
helper =
helper = myhelper

Without this patch, the 'helper =' line is not included and the
credential helper from /etc/gitconfig gets used.

credential doc: make multiple-helper behavior more... Jonathan Nieder Tue, 2 May 2017 00:21:14 +0000 (17:21 -0700)

credential doc: make multiple-helper behavior more prominent

Git's configuration system works by reading multiple configuration
files in order, from general to specific:

- first, the system configuration /etc/gitconfig
- then the user's configuration (~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git/config)
- then the repository configuration (.git/config)

For single-valued configuration items, the latest value wins. For
multi-valued configuration items, values accumulate in that order.

For example, this allows setting a credential helper globally in
~/.gitconfig that git will try to use in all repositories, regardless
of whether they additionally provide another helper. This is usually
a nice thing --- e.g. I can install helpers to use my OS keychain and
to cache credentials for a short period of time globally.

Sometimes people want to be able to override an inherited setting.
For the credential.helper setting, this is done by setting the
configuration item to empty before giving it a new value. This is
already documented but the documentation is hard to find ---
git-config(1) says to look at gitcredentials(7) and the config
reference in gitcredentials(7) doesn't mention this issue.

Move the documentation to the config reference to make it easier to
find.

Merge branch 'sh/rebase-i-reread-todo-after-exec'

"git rebase -i" failed to re-read the todo list file when the
command specified with the `exec` instruction updated it.
