A HTTP-clone test introduced in 4fe788b1b0 ("builtin/clone.c: add
--reject-shallow option", 2021-04-01) only works in protocol v2, but is
not marked as such.
The aforementioned patch implements --reject-shallow for a variety of
situations, but usage of a protocol that requires a remote helper is not
one of them. (Such an implementation would require extending the remote
helper protocol to support the passing of a "reject shallow" option, and
then teaching it to both protocol-speaking ends.)
For now, to make it pass when GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0 is passed, add
"-c protocol.version=2". A more complete solution would be either to
augment the remote helper protocol to support this feature or to return
a fatal error when using --reject-shallow with a protocol that uses a
remote helper.

The `trailer.<token>.command` configuration variable
specifies a command (run via the shell, so it does not have
to be a single name or path to the command, but can be a
shell script), and the first occurrence of substring $ARG is
replaced with the value given to the `interpret-trailer`
command for the token in a '--trailer <token>=<value>' argument.
This has three downsides:
* The use of $ARG in the mechanism misleads the users that
the value is passed in the shell variable, and tempt them
to use $ARG more than once, but that would not work, as
the second and subsequent $ARG are not replaced.
* Because $ARG is textually replaced without regard to the
shell language syntax, even '$ARG' (inside a single-quote
pair), which a user would expect to stay intact, would be
replaced, and worse, if the value had an unmatched single
quote (imagine a name like "O'Connor", substituted into
NAME='$ARG' to make it NAME='O'Connor'), it would result in
a broken command that is not syntactically correct (or
worse).
* The first occurrence of substring `$ARG` will be replaced
with the empty string, in the command when the command is
first called to add a trailer with the specified <token>.
This is a bad design, the nature of automatic execution
causes it to add a trailer that we don't expect.
Introduce a new `trailer.<token>.cmd` configuration that
takes higher precedence to deprecate and eventually remove
`trailer.<token>.command`, which passes the value as an
argument to the command. Instead of "$ARG", users can
refer to the value as positional argument, $1, in their
scripts. At the same time, in order to allow
`git interpret-trailers` to better simulate the behavior
of `git command -s`, 'trailer.<token>.cmd' will not
automatically execute.

In the commits merged in via 204333b015 (Merge branch
'jk/open-dotgitx-with-nofollow', 2021-03-22), we stopped following
symbolic links for .gitattributes, .gitignore, and .mailmap files.
Let's teach fsck to warn that these symlinks are not going to do
anything. Note that this is just a warning, and won't block the objects
via transfer.fsckObjects, since there are reported to be cases of this
in the wild (and even once fixed, they will continue to exist in the
commit history of those projects, but are not particularly dangerous).
Note that we won't add these to the existing gitmodules block in the
fsck code. The logic for gitmodules is a bit more complicated, as we
also check the content of non-symlink instances we find. But for these
new files, there is no content check; we're just looking at the name and
mode of the tree entry (and we can avoid even the complicated name
checks in the common case that the mode doesn't indicate a symlink).
We can reuse the test helper function we defined for .gitmodules, though
(it needs some slight adjustments for the fsck error code, and because
we don't block these symlinks via verify_path()).
Note that I didn't explicitly test the transfer.fsckObjects case here
(nor does the existing .gitmodules test that it blocks a push). The
translation of fsck severities to outcomes is covered in general in
t5504.

We have tests that cover various filesystem-specific spellings of
".gitmodules", because we need to reliably identify that path for some
security checks. These are from dc2d9ba318 (is_{hfs,ntfs}_dotgitmodules:
add tests, 2018-05-12), with the actual code coming from e7cb0b4455
(is_ntfs_dotgit: match other .git files, 2018-05-11) and 0fc333ba20
(is_hfs_dotgit: match other .git files, 2018-05-02).
Those latter two commits also added similar matching functions for
.gitattributes and .gitignore. These ended up not being used in the
final series, and are currently dead code. But in preparation for them
being used in some fsck checks, let's make sure they actually work by
throwing a few basic tests at them. Likewise, let's cover .mailmap
(which does need matching code added).
I didn't bother with the whole battery of tests that we cover for
.gitmodules. These functions are all based on the same generic matcher,
so it's sufficient to test most of the corner cases just once.
Note that the ntfs magic prefix names in the tests come from the
algorithm described in e7cb0b4455 (and are different for each file).

In t7450 we check that both verify_path() and fsck catch malformed
.gitmodules entries in trees. However, we don't check that we catch
filesystem-equivalent forms of these (e.g., ".GITMOD~1" on Windows).
Our name-matching functions are exercised well in t0060, but there's
nothing to test that we correctly call the matching functions from the
actual fsck and verify_path() code.
So instead of testing just .gitmodules, let's repeat our tests for a few
basic cases. We don't need to be exhaustive here (t0060 handles that),
but just make sure we hit one name of each type.
Besides pushing the tests into a function that takes the path as a
parameter, we'll need to do a few things:
- adjust the directory name to accommodate the tests running multiple
times
- set core.protecthfs for index checks. Fsck always protects all types
by default, but we want to be able to exercise the HFS routines on
every system. Note that core.protectntfs is already the default
these days, but it doesn't hurt to explicitly label our need for it.
- we'll also take the filename ("gitmodules") as a parameter. All
calls use the same name for now, but a future patch will extend this
to handle other .gitfoo files. Note that our fake-content symlink
destination is somewhat .gitmodules specific. But it isn't necessary
for other files (which don't do a content check). And it happens to
be a valid attribute and ignore file anyway.

Commit b2f2039c2b (fsck: accept an oid instead of a "struct tree" for
fsck_tree(), 2019-10-18) introduced a new "oid" parameter to
fsck_tree(), and we pass it to the report() function when we find
problems. However, that is shadowed within the tree-walking loop by the
existing "oid" variable which we use to store the oid of each tree
entry. As a result, we may report the wrong oid for some problems we
detect within the loop (the entry oid, instead of the tree oid).
Our tests didn't catch this because they checked only that we found the
expected fsck problem, not that it was attached to the correct object.
Let's rename both variables in the function to avoid confusion. This
makes the diff a little noisy (e.g., all of the report() calls outside
the loop were already correct but need to be touched), but makes sure we
catch all cases and will avoid similar confusion in the future.
And we can update the test to be a bit more specific and catch this
problem.

A negative delta depth makes no sense, and the code is not prepared to
handle it. If passed "--depth=-1" on the command line, then this line
from break_delta_chains():
cur->depth = (total_depth--) % (depth + 1);
triggers a divide-by-zero. This is undefined behavior according to the C
standard, but on POSIX systems results in SIGFPE killing the process.

The first set of tests in t5300 goes back to 2005, and doesn't use some
of our customary style and tools these days. In preparation for touching
them, let's modernize a few things:
- titles go on the line with test_expect_success, with a hanging
open-quote to start the test body
- test bodies should be indented with tabs
- opening braces for shell blocks in &&-chains go on their own line
- no space between redirect operators and files (">foo", not "> foo")
- avoid doing work outside of test blocks; in this case, we can stick
the setup of ".git2" into the appropriate blocks
- avoid modifying and then cleaning up the environment or current
directory by using subshells and "git -C"
- this test does a curious thing when testing the unpacking: it sets
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, and then does a "git init" in the _original_
directory, creating a weird mixed situation. Instead, it's much
simpler to just "git init --bare" a new repository to unpack into,
and check the results there. I renamed this "git2" instead of
".git2" to make it more clear it's a separate repo.
- we can observe that the bodies of the no-delta, ref_delta, and
ofs_delta cases are all virtually identical except for the pack
creation, and factor out shared helper functions. I collapsed "do
the unpack" and "check the results of the unpack" into a single
test, since that makes the expected lifetime of the "git2" temporary
directory more clear (that also lets us use test_when_finished to
clean it up). This does make the "-v" output slightly less useful,
but the improvement in reading the actual test code makes it worth
it.
- I dropped the "pwd" calls from some tests. These don't do anything
functional, and I suspect may have been an aid for debugging when
the script was more cavalier about leaving the working directory
changed between tests.

Commit e4c7b33747 ("bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_skip` shell
function in C", 2021-02-03), as part of the shell-to-C conversion,
forgot to read the 'terms' file (.git/BISECT_TERMS) during the new
'bisect skip' command implementation. As a result, the 'bisect skip'
command will use the default 'bad'/'good' terms. If the bisection
terms have been set to non-default values (for example by the
'bisect start' command), then the 'bisect skip' command will fail.
In order to correct this problem, we insert a call to the get_terms()
function, which reads the non-default terms from that file (if set),
in the '--bisect-skip' command implementation of 'bisect--helper'.
Also, add a test[1] to protect against potential future regression.

The backslash character is not a valid part of a file name on Windows.
If, in Windows, Git attempts to write a file that has a backslash
character in the filename, it will be incorrectly interpreted as a
directory separator.
This caused CVE-2019-1354 in MinGW, as this behaviour can be manipulated
to cause the checkout to write to files it ought not write to, such as
adding code to the .git/hooks directory. This was fixed by e1d911dd4c
(mingw: disallow backslash characters in tree objects' file names,
2019-09-12). However, the vulnerability also exists in Cygwin: while
Cygwin mostly provides a POSIX-like path system, it will still interpret
a backslash as a directory separator.
To avoid this vulnerability, CVE-2021-29468, extend the previous fix to
also apply to Cygwin.
Similarly, extend the test case added by the previous version of the
commit. The test suite doesn't have an easy way to say "run this test
if in MinGW or Cygwin", so add a new test prerequisite that covers both.
As well as checking behaviour in the presence of paths containing
backslashes, the existing test also checks behaviour in the presence of
paths that differ only by the presence of a trailing ".". MinGW follows
normal Windows application behaviour and treats them as the same path,
but Cygwin more closely emulates *nix systems (at the expense of
compatibility with native Windows applications) and will create and
distinguish between such paths. Gate the relevant bit of that test
accordingly.

We pass our prune expiration to mark_reachable_objects(), which will
traverse not only the reachable objects, but consider any recent ones as
tips for reachability; see d3038d22f9 (prune: keep objects reachable
from recent objects, 2014-10-15) for details.
However, this interacts badly with the bitmap code path added in
fde67d6896 (prune: use bitmaps for reachability traversal, 2019-02-13).
If we hit the bitmap-optimized path, we return immediately to avoid the
regular traversal, accidentally skipping the "also traverse recent"
code.
Instead, we should do an if-else for the bitmap versus regular
traversal, and then follow up with the "recent" traversal in either
case. This reuses the "rev_info" for a bitmap and then a regular
traversal, but that should work OK (the bitmap code clears the pending
array in the usual way, just like a regular traversal would).
Note that I dropped the comment above the regular traversal here. It
has little explanatory value, and makes the if-else logic much harder to
read.
Here are a few variants that I rejected:
- it seems like both the reachability and recent traversals could be
done in a single traversal. This was rejected by d3038d22f9 (prune:
keep objects reachable from recent objects, 2014-10-15), though the
balance may be different when using bitmaps. However, there's a
subtle correctness issue, too: we use revs->ignore_missing_links for
the recent traversal, but not the reachability one.
- we could try using bitmaps for the recent traversal, too, which
could possibly improve performance. But it would require some fixes
in the bitmap code, which uses ignore_missing_links for its own
purposes. Plus it would probably not help all that much in practice.
We use the reachable tips to generate bitmaps, so those objects are
likely not covered by bitmaps (unless they just became unreachable).
And in general, we expect the set of unreachable objects to be much
smaller anyway, so there's less to gain.
The test in t5304 detects the bug and confirms the fix.
I also beefed up the tests in t6501, which covers the mtime-checking
code more thoroughly, to handle the bitmap case (in addition to just
"loose" and "packed" cases). Interestingly, this test doesn't actually
detect the bug, because it is running "git gc", and not "prune"
directly. And "gc" will call "repack" first, which does not suffer the
same bug. So the old-but-reachable-from-recent objects get scooped up
into the new pack along with the actually-recent objects, which gives
both a recent mtime. But it seemed prudent to get more coverage of the
bitmap case for related code.

When `git repack -A -d` is run in a partial clone, `pack-objects`
is invoked twice: once to repack all promisor objects, and once to
repack all non-promisor objects. The latter `pack-objects` invocation
is with --exclude-promisor-objects and --unpack-unreachable, which
loosens all objects unused during this invocation. Unfortunately,
this includes promisor objects.
Because the -d argument to `git repack` subsequently deletes all loose
objects also in packs, these just-loosened promisor objects will be
immediately deleted. However, this extra disk churn is unnecessary in
the first place. For example, in a newly-cloned partial repo that
filters all blob objects (e.g. `--filter=blob:none`), `repack` ends up
unpacking all trees and commits into the filesystem because every
object, in this particular case, is a promisor object. Depending on
the repo size, this increases the disk usage considerably: In my copy
of the linux.git, the object directory peaked 26GB of more disk usage.
In order to avoid this extra disk churn, pass the names of the promisor
packfiles as --keep-pack arguments to the second invocation of
`pack-objects`. This informs `pack-objects` that the promisor objects
are already in a safe packfile and, therefore, do not need to be
loosened.
For testing, we need to validate whether any object was loosened.
However, the "evidence" (loosened objects) is deleted during the
process which prevents us from inspecting the object directory.
Instead, let's teach `pack-objects` to count loosened objects and
emit via trace2 thus allowing inspecting the debug events after the
process is finished. This new event is used on the added regression
test.
Lastly, add a new perf test to evaluate the performance impact
made by this changes (tested on git.git):
Test HEAD^ HEAD
----------------------------------------------------------
5600.3: gc 134.38(41.93+90.95) 7.80(6.72+1.35) -94.2%
For a bigger repository, such as linux.git, the improvement is
even bigger:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------
5600.3: gc 6833.00(918.07+3162.74) 268.79(227.02+39.18) -96.1%
These improvements are particular big because every object in the
newly-cloned partial repository is a promisor object.

Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a
hash. Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros)
object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be
handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make
sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field.
Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo.
Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to
use the null_oid constant.

Add the placeholders %ah and %ch to format author date and committer
date, like --date=human does, which provides more humanity date output.

Change the description for the --date/format equivalency tests added
in 466fb6742d (pretty: provide a strict ISO 8601 date format,
2014-08-29) and 0df621172d (pretty: provide short date format,
2019-11-19) to be more meaningful.
This allows us to reword the comment added in the former commit to
refer to both tests, and any other future test, such as the in-flight
--date=human format being proposed in [1].

Change a needlessly complex test for the %aI/%cI date
formats (iso-strict) added in 466fb6742d (pretty: provide a strict
ISO 8601 date format, 2014-08-29) to instead use the same pattern used
to test %as/%cs since 0df621172d (pretty: provide short date format,
2019-11-19).

With the introduction of the $__git_cmd_idx variable in e94fb44042
(git-completion.bash: pass $__git_subcommand_idx from __git_main(),
2021-03-24), completion functions were able to know the index at which
the git command is listed, allowing them to skip options that are given
to the underlying git itself, not the corresponding command (e.g.
`-C asdf` in `git -C asdf branch`).
While most of the changes here are self-explanatory, some bear further
explanation.
For the __git_find_on_cmdline() and __git_find_last_on_cmdline() pair of
functions, these functions are only ever called in the context of a git
command completion function. These functions will only care about words
after the command so we can safely ignore the words before this.
For _git_worktree(), this change is technically a no-op (once the
__git_find_last_on_cmdline change is also applied). It was in poor style
to have hard-coded on the index right after `worktree`. In case
`git worktree` were to ever learn to accept options, the current
situation would be inflexible.

In order to test whether the new GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM environment variable
behaves as expected, we unset GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM in one of our tests in
t1300. But because tests are not executed in a subshell, this unset
leaks into all subsequent tests and may thus cause them to fail in some
environments. These failures are easily reproducable with `make
prefix=/root test`.
Fix the issue by not using `sane_unset GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM`, but instead
just manually add it to the environment of the two command invocations
which need it.
