Our filter_refs() function accidentally considers the target of a peeled
tag to be advertised by the server, even though upload-pack on the
server side does not consider it so. This can result in the client
making a bogus fetch to the server, which will end with the server
complaining "not our ref". Whereas the correct behavior is for the
client to notice that the server will not allow the request and error
out immediately.
So as bugs go, this is not very serious (the outcome is the same either
way -- the fetch fails). But it's worth making the logic here correct
and consistent with other related cases (e.g., fetching an oid that the
server did not mention at all).
The crux of the issue comes from fdb69d33c4 (fetch-pack: always allow
fetching of literal SHA1s, 2017-05-15). After that, the strategy of
filter_refs() is basically:
- for each advertised ref, try to match it with a "sought" ref
provided by the user. Skip any malformed refs (which includes
peeled values like "refs/tags/foo^{}"), and place any unmatched
items onto the unmatched list.
- if there are unmatched sought refs, then put all of the advertised
tips into an oidset, including the unmatched ones.
- for each sought ref, see if it's in the oidset, in which case it's
legal for us to ask the server for it
The problem is in the second step. Our list of unmatched refs includes
the peeled refs, even though upload-pack does not allow them to be
directly fetched. So the simplest fix would be to exclude them during
that step.
However, we can observe that the unmatched list isn't used for anything
else, and is freed at the end. We can just free those malformed refs
immediately. That saves us having to check each ref a second time to see
if it's malformed.
Note that this code only kicks in when "strict" is in effect. I.e., if
we are using the v0 protocol and uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant is
not in effect. With v2, all oids are allowed, and we do not bother
creating or consulting the oidset at all. To future-proof our test
against the upcoming GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION flag, we'll manually mark
it as a v0-only test.

Since 2d103c31c2 (pack-protocol.txt: accept error packets in any
context, 2018-12-29), the pktline code will detect an ERR packet and die
automatically, saving the caller from dealing with it. But we do so too
early in the function, before we have terminated the buffer with a NUL.
As a result, passing the ERR message to die() may result in us printing
random cruft from a previous packet. This doesn't trigger memory tools
like ASan because we reuse the same buffer over and over (so the
contents are valid and initialized; they're just stale).
We can see demonstrate this by tightening the regex we use to match the
error message in t5516; without this patch, git-fetch will accidentally
print the capabilities from the (much longer) initial packet we
received.
By moving the ERR code later in the function we get a few other
benefits, too:
- we'll now chomp any newline sent by the other side (which is what we
want, since die() will add its own newline)
- we'll now mention the ERR packet with GIT_TRACE_PACKET

Commit bdb31eada7 (upload-pack: report "not our ref" to client,
2017-02-23) catches the case where a client asks for an object we don't
have, and issues a message that the client can show to the user (in
addition to dying and writing to stderr).
There's a similar case (with the same message) when the client asks for
an object which we _do_ have, but which isn't a ref tip (or isn't
reachable, when uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant is true). Let's give
that one the same treatment, for the same reason (namely that it's more
informative to the client than just hanging up, since they won't see our
stderr over some protocols).
There are two tests here. We cover it most directly in t5530 by invoking
upload-pack, which matches the existing "not our ref" test.
But a more end-to-end check is that "git fetch" actually shows the
message to the client. We're already checking in t5516 that this case
fails, so we can just check stderr there, too. Note that even after we
started ignoring SIGPIPE in 8bf4becf0c, this could in theory still be
racy as described in that commit (because we die() on write failures
before pumping the connection for any ERR packets).
In practice this should be OK for this case. The server will not
actually check reachability until it has received our whole group of
"want" lines. And since we have no objects in the repository, we won't
send any "have" lines, meaning we're always waiting to read the server
response.
Note also that this case cannot happen in the v2 protocol, since it
allows any available object to be requested. However, we don't have to
take any steps to protect against the upcoming GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION
in our tests:
- the tests in t5516 would already need to be skipped under v2, and
that is covered by ab0c5f5096 (tests: always test fetch of
unreachable with v0, 2019-02-25)
- the tests in t5530 invoke upload-pack directly, which will continue
to default to v0. Eventually we may have a test setting which uses
v2 even for bare upload-pack calls, but we can't override it here
until we know what the setting looks like.

Much later, in bdb31eada7 (upload-pack: report "not our ref" to client,

the protocol. Let's check that part, as well.

Robin reported that
git submodule foreach --quiet git pull --quiet origin
is not really quiet anymore [1]. "git pull" behaves as if --quiet is not
given.
This happens because parseopt in submodule--helper will try to parse
both --quiet options as if they are foreach's options, not git-pull's.
The parsed options are removed from the command line. So when we do
pull later, we execute just this
git pull origin
When calling submodule helper, adding "--" in front of "git pull" will
stop parseopt for parsing options that do not really belong to
submodule--helper foreach.
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN is removed as a safety measure. parseopt should
never see unknown options or something has gone wrong. There are also
a couple usage string update while I'm looking at them.
While at it, I also add "--" to other subcommands that pass "$@" to
submodule--helper. "$@" in these cases are paths and less likely to be
--something-like-this. But the point still stands, git-submodule has
parsed and classified what are options, what are paths. submodule--helper
should never consider paths passed by git-submodule to be options even
if they look like one.
The test case is also contributed by Robin.
[1] it should be quiet before fc1b9243cd (submodule: port submodule
subcommand 'foreach' from shell to C, 2018-05-10) because parseopt
can't accidentally eat options then.

Git's command-line parsers support uniquely abbreviated options, e.g.
`git init --ba` would automatically expand `--ba` to `--bare`.
This is a very convenient feature in every day life for Git users, in
particular when tab completion is not available.
However, it is not a good idea to rely on that in Git's test suite, as
something that is a unique abbreviation of a command line option today
might no longer be a unique abbreviation tomorrow.
For example, if a future contribution added a new mode
`git init --babyproofing` and a previously-introduced test case used the
fact that `git init --ba` expanded to `git init --bare`, that future
contribution would now have to touch seemingly unrelated tests just to
keep the test suite from failing.
So let's disallow abbreviated options in the test suite by default.
Note: for ease of implementation, this patch really only touches the
`parse-options` machinery: more and more hand-rolled option parsers are
converted to use that internal API, and more and more scripts are
converted to built-ins (naturally using the parse-options API, too), so
in practice this catches most issues, and is definitely the biggest bang
for the buck.

Another case we need to consider is that of carriage returns. Because
emails have CRLF endings when canonicalized, we don't want to write raw
carriage returns into a patch, lest they be stripped off as an artifact
of the transport. Ensure that we choose quoted-printable encoding if the
patch we're sending contains carriage returns.
Note that we are guaranteed to always correctly encode carriage returns
when writing quoted-printable since we explicitly specify the line
ending as "\n", forcing MIME::QuotedPrint to encode our carriage return

When the traversal machinery sees a commit without a root tree, it
assumes that the tree was part of a BOUNDARY commit, and quietly ignores
the tree. But it could also be caused by a commit whose root tree is
broken or missing.
Instead, let's die() when we see a NULL root tree. We can differentiate
it from the BOUNDARY case by seeing if the commit was actually parsed.

Commit 7c0fe330d5 (rev-list: handle missing tree objects properly,
2018-10-05) taught the traversal machinery used by git-rev-list to
ignore missing trees, so that rev-list could handle them itself.
However, it does so only by checking via oid_object_info_extended() that
the object exists at all. This can miss several classes of errors that
were previously detected by rev-list:
- type mismatches (e.g., we expected a tree but got a blob)
- failure to read the object data (e.g., due to bitrot on disk)
This is especially important because we use "rev-list --objects" as our
connectivity check to admit new objects to the repository, and it will
now miss these cases (though the bitrot one is less important here,
because we'd typically have just hashed and stored the object).
There are a few options to fix this:
1. we could check these properties in rev-list when we do the existence
check. This is probably too expensive in practice (perhaps even for
a type check, but definitely for checking the whole content again,
which implies loading each object into memory twice).
2. teach the traversal machinery to differentiate between a missing
object, and one that could not be loaded as expected. This probably
wouldn't be too hard to detect type mismatches, but detecting bitrot
versus a truly missing object would require deep changes to the
object-loading code.
3. have the traversal machinery communicate the failure to the caller,
so that it can decide how to proceed without re-evaluting the object
itself.
Of those, I think (3) is probably the best path forward. However, this
patch does none of them. In the name of expediently fixing the
regression to a normal "rev-list --objects" that we use for connectivity
checks, this simply restores the pre-7c0fe330d5 behavior of having the
traversal die as soon as it fails to load a tree (when --missing is set
to MA_ERROR, which is the default).
Note that we can't get rid of the object-existence check in
finish_object(), because this also handles blobs (which are not
otherwise checked at all by the traversal code).

Call an object's type "unexpected" when the actual type of an object
does not match Git's contextual expectation. For example, a tree entry
whose mode differs from the object's actual type, or a commit's parent
which is not another commit, and so on.
This can manifest itself in various unfortunate ways, including Git
SIGSEGV-ing under specific conditions. Consider the following example:
Git traverses a blob (say, via `git rev-list`), and then tries to read
out a tree-entry which lists that object as something other than a blob.
In this case, `lookup_blob()` will return NULL, and the subsequent
dereference will result in a SIGSEGV.
Introduce tests that present objects of "unexpected" type in the above
fashion to 'git rev-list'. Mark as failures the combinations that are
already broken (i.e., they exhibit the segfault described above). In the
cases that are not broken (i.e., they have NULL-ness checks or similar),
mark these as expecting success.
We might hit an unexpected type in two different ways (imagine we have a
tree entry that claims to be a tree but actually points to a blob):
- when we call lookup_tree(), we might find that we've already seen
the object referenced as a blob, in which case we'd get NULL. We
can exercise this with "git rev-list --objects $blob $tree", which
guarantees that the blob will have been parsed before we look in
the tree. These tests are marked as "seen" in the test script.
- we call lookup_tree() successfully, but when we try to read the
object, we find out it's something else. We construct our tests
such that $blob is not otherwise mentioned in $tree. These tests
are marked as "lone" in the script.
We should check that we behave sensibly in both cases (especially
because it is easy for a malicious actor to provoke one case or the
other).

When treat_directory() encounters a directory that is not in the index
and DIR_NO_GITLINKS is unset, it calls resolve_gitlink_ref() to decide
if a directory looks like a repository, in which case the directory
won't be traversed. As a result, 'status -uall' and 'ls-files -o'
will show only the directory, even when there are untracked files
within the directory.
For the unusual case where a repository doesn't have a commit checked
out, resolve_gitlink_ref() returns -1 because HEAD cannot be resolved,
and the directory is treated as a normal directory (i.e. traversal
does not stop at the repository boundary). The status and ls-files
commands above list untracked files within the repository rather than
showing only the top-level directory. And if 'git add' is called on a
repository with no commit checked out, any untracked files under the
repository are added as blobs in the top-level project, a behavior
that is unlikely to be what the caller intended.
The above case is a corner case in an already unusual situation of the
working tree containing a repository that is not a tracked submodule,
but we might as well treat anything that looks like a repository
consistently. Loosen the "looks like a repository" criteria in
treat_directory() by replacing resolve_gitlink_ref() with
is_nonbare_repository_dir(), one of the checks that is performed
downstream when resolve_gitlink_ref() is called.
As the required update to t3700-add shows, calling 'git add' on a

this is the desired behavior, note that the output isn't yet

it is given a commit to start from.
We could improve the error message, of course, but let's just default

they would have specified that in the first place).

branch should remain at x/d or appear at z/d when the two branches are
merged. There are different possible viewpoints here:
A) The file was placed at x/d; it's unrelated to the other files in
x/ so it doesn't matter that all the files from x/ moved to z/ on
one branch; x/d should still remain at x/d.
B) x/d is related to the other files in x/, and x/ was renamed to z/;
therefore x/d should be moved to z/d.
Since there was no ability to detect directory renames prior to
git-2.18, users experienced (A) regardless of context. Choice (B) was
implemented in git-2.18, with no option to go back to (A), and has been
in use since. However, one user reported that the merge results did not
match their expectations, making the change of default problematic,
especially since there was no notice printed when directory rename
detection moved files.
Note that there is also a third possibility here:
C) There are different answers depending on the context and content
that cannot be determined by git, so this is a conflict. Use a
higher stage in the index to record the conflict and notify the
user of the potential issue instead of silently selecting a

Add an option for users to specify their preference for whether to use
directory rename detection, and default to (C). Even when directory
rename detection is on, add notice messages about files moved into new
directories.
As a sidenote, x/d did not have to be a new file here; it could have
already existed at some other path and been renamed to x/d, with
directory rename detection just renaming it again to z/d. Thus, it's
not just new files, but also a modification to all rename types (normal
renames, rename/add, rename/delete, rename/rename(1to1),
rename/rename(1to2), and rename/rename(2to1)).

The helper 'hex2oct' is used to convert base-16 encoded data into a
base-8 binary form, and is useful for preparing data for commands that
accept input in a binary format, such as 'git hash-object', via
'printf'.
This helper is defined identically in three separate places throughout
't'. Move the definition to test-lib-function.sh, so that it can be used
in new test suites, and its definition is not redundant.
This will likewise make our job easier in the subsequent commit, which
also uses 'hex2oct'.

This patch fixes a quadratic list insertion in rewrite_one() when
pathspec limiting is combined with --parents. What happens is something
like this:
1. We see that some commit X touches the path, so we try to rewrite
its parents.
2. rewrite_one() loops forever, rewriting parents, until it finds a
relevant parent (or hits the root and decides there are none). The
heavy lifting is done by process_parent(), which uses
try_to_simplify_commit() to drop parents.
3. process_parent() puts any intermediate parents into the
&revs->commits list, inserting by commit date as usual.
So if commit X is recent, and then there's a large chunk of history that
doesn't touch the path, we may add a lot of commits to &revs->commits.
And insertion by commit date is O(n) in the worst case, making the whole
thing quadratic.
We tried to deal with this long ago in fce87ae538 (Fix quadratic
performance in rewrite_one., 2008-07-12). In that scheme, we cache the
oldest commit in the list; if the new commit to be added is older, we
can start our linear traversal there. This often works well in practice
because parents are older than their descendants, and thus we tend to
add older and older commits as we traverse.
But this isn't guaranteed, and in fact there's a simple case where it is
not: merges. Imagine we look at the first parent of a merge and see a
very old commit (let's say 3 years old). And on the second parent, as we
go back 3 years in history, we might have many commits. That one
first-parent commit has polluted our oldest-commit cache; it will remain
the oldest while we traverse a huge chunk of history, during which we
have to fall back to the slow, linear method of adding to the list.
Naively, one might imagine that instead of caching the oldest commit,
we'd start at the last-added one. But that just makes some cases faster
while making others slower (and indeed, while it made a real-world test
case much faster, it does quite poorly in the perf test include here).
Fundamentally, these are just heuristics; our worst case is still
quadratic, and some cases will approach that.
Instead, let's use a data structure with better worst-case performance.
Swapping out revs->commits for something else would have repercussions
all over the code base, but we can take advantage of one fact: for the
rewrite_one() case, nobody actually needs to see those commits in
revs->commits until we've finished generating the whole list.
That leaves us with two obvious options:
1. We can generate the list _unordered_, which should be O(n), and
then sort it afterwards, which would be O(n log n) total. This is
"sort-after" below.
2. We can insert the commits into a separate data structure, like a
priority queue. This is "prio-queue" below.
I expected that sort-after would be the fastest (since it saves us the
extra step of copying the items into the linked list), but surprisingly
the prio-queue seems to be a bit faster.
Here are timings for the new p0001.6 for all three techniques across a
few repositories, as compared to master:
master cache-last sort-after prio-queue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GIT_PERF_REPO=git.git
0.52(0.50+0.02) 0.53(0.51+0.02) +1.9% 0.37(0.33+0.03) -28.8% 0.37(0.32+0.04) -28.8%
GIT_PERF_REPO=linux.git
20.81(20.74+0.07) 20.31(20.24+0.07) -2.4% 0.94(0.86+0.07) -95.5% 0.91(0.82+0.09) -95.6%
GIT_PERF_REPO=llvm-project.git
83.67(83.57+0.09) 4.23(4.15+0.08) -94.9% 3.21(3.15+0.06) -96.2% 2.98(2.91+0.07) -96.4%
A few items to note:
- the cache-list tweak does improve the bad case for llvm-project.git
that started my digging into this problem. But it performs terribly
on linux.git, barely helping at all.
- the sort-after and prio-queue techniques work well. They approach
the timing for running without --parents at all, which is what you'd
expect (see below for more data).
- prio-queue just barely outperforms sort-after. As I said, I'm not
really sure why this is the case, but it is. You can see it even
more prominently in this real-world case on llvm-project.git:
git rev-list --parents 07ef786652e7 -- llvm/test/CodeGen/Generic/bswap.ll
where prio-queue routinely outperforms sort-after by about 7%. One
guess is that the prio-queue may just be more efficient because it
uses a compact array.
There are three new perf tests:
- "rev-list --parents" gives us a baseline for running with --parents.
This isn't sped up meaningfully here, because the bad case is
triggered only with simplification. But it's good to make sure we
don't screw it up (now, or in the future).
- "rev-list -- dummy" gives us a baseline for just traversing with
pathspec limiting. This gives a lower bound for the next test (and
it's also a good thing for us to be checking in general for
regressions, since we don't seem to have any existing tests).
- "rev-list --parents -- dummy" shows off the problem (and our fix)
Here are the timings for those three on llvm-project.git, before and
after the fix:
Test master prio-queue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0001.3: rev-list --parents 2.24(2.12+0.12) 2.22(2.11+0.11) -0.9%
0001.5: rev-list -- dummy 2.89(2.82+0.07) 2.92(2.89+0.03) +1.0%
0001.6: rev-list --parents -- dummy 83.67(83.57+0.09) 2.98(2.91+0.07) -96.4%
Changes in the first two are basically noise, and you can see we
approach our lower bound in the final one.
Note that we can't fully get rid of the list argument from
process_parents(). Other callers do have lists, and it would be hard to
convert them. They also don't seem to have this problem (probably
because they actually remove items from the list as they loop, meaning
it doesn't grow so large in the first place). So this basically just
drops the "cache_ptr" parameter (which was used only by the one caller
we're fixing here) and replaces it with a prio_queue. Callers are free
to use either data structure, depending on what they're prepared to
handle.

to avoid ambiguation context.
For these reasons, promote it everywhere possible. This includes

When we switch from one branch to another, it makes sense to show a
summary of local changes since there could be conflicts, or some files
left modified.... When switch is used solely for creating a new
branch (and "switch" to the same commit) or detaching, we don't really
need to show anything.
"git checkout" does it anyway for historical reasons. But we can start
with a clean slate with switch and don't have to.
This essentially reverts fa655d8411 (checkout: optimize "git checkout
-b <new_branch>" - 2018-08-16) and make it default for switch,
but also for -B and --detach. Users of big repos are encouraged to
move to switch.

Detached HEAD mode is considered dangerous and confusing for newcomers
and we print a big block of warning how to move forward. But we should
also suggest the user the way to get out of it if they get into detached
HEAD by mistake.
While at there, I also suggest how to turn the advice off. This is
another thing I find annoying with advices and should be dealt with in a
more generic way. But that may require some refactoring in advice.c
first.

In preparation for a fix, add a failing test case to test that
git-p4 doesn't exclude files despite being told to
when handling multiple branches.
I.e., it should exclude //depot/branch2/file2 when run with -//depot/branch2/file2,
but doesn't do this right now.
The test is based on 'git p4 clone complex branches' test with the following changes:
* account for file3 moved from branch3 to branch4 in test 'git p4 submit to two branches in a single changelist';
* account for branch6 created in test 'git p4 clone file subset branch';
* file2 is expected to be missing from all branches due to explicit exclude.

Make sure not to exclude files unintentionally
if exclude paths are specified without a trailing /.
I.e., don't exclude "//depot/file_dont_exclude" if run with "-//depot/file".
Do this by ensuring that paths without a trailing "/" are only matched completely.
Also, abort path search on the first match as a micro-optimization.

git-p4 knows how to handle case insensitivity in file paths
if core.ignorecase is set.
However, when determining a branch for a file,
it still does a case-sensitive prefix match.
This may result in some file changes to be lost on import.
For example, given the following commits
1. add //depot/main/file1
2. add //depot/DirA/file2
3. add //depot/dira/file3
4. add //depot/DirA/file4
and "branchList = main:DirA" branch mapping,
commit 3 will be lost.
So, do branch search case insensitively if running with core.ignorecase set.
Teach splitFilesIntoBranches() to use the p4PathStartsWith() function
for path prefix matches instead of always case-sensitive match.

To use the singular form of a word, when the option wants the plural
form (and quietly expands it because it thinks it was abbreviated), is
an easy mistake to make, and t5317 contains almost two dozen of them.

disallow use of abbreviated options in our test suite.
