On Windows, there are dramatic problems when a command line grows
beyond PATH_MAX, which is restricted to 8191 characters on XP and
later (according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473).
Work around this by just cutting off the command line at that length
(actually, at a space boundary) in the hope that only negative
refs are chucked: gitk will then do unnecessary work, but that is
still better than flashing the gitk window and exiting with exit
status 5 (which no Windows user is able to make sense of).
The first fix caused Tcl to fail to compile the regexp, see msysGit issue
427. Here is another fix without using regexp, and using a more relaxed
command line length limit to fix the original issue 387.

def foo
do_foo_stuff()

when the new heuristic is in use. In reality, the change is to add
the blank line before "def bar" and everything below, which is what
the code without the new heuristic shows.
Disable the heuristics by default, and resurrect the documentation
for the option and the configuration variables, while clearly
marking the feature as still experimental.

On Windows, files cannot be removed nor renamed if there are still
handles held by a process. To remedy that, we introduced the
close_all_packs() function.
Earlier, we made sure that the packs are released just before `git gc`
is spawned, in case that gc wants to remove no-longer needed packs.
But this developer forgot that gc itself also needs to let go of packs,
e.g. when consolidating all packs via the --aggressive option.
Likewise, `git repack -d` wants to delete obsolete packs and therefore
needs to close all pack handles, too.

ASLR interferes with GDB's ability to set breakpoints. A similar issue
holds true when compiling with -O2 (in which case single-stepping is
messed up because GDB cannot map the code back to the original source
code properly). Therefore we simply enable ASLR only when an
optimization flag is present in the CFLAGS, using it as an indicator
that the developer does not want to debug in GDB anyway.

When testing a merge driver which spawns a merge server (for future merges)
I got the following error:
Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed. Should I try again? (y/n)
Only after I stop the merge server the lock is released.
This is caused by windows handle inheritance.
Starting childs with bInheritHandles==FALSE does not work,
because no file handles would be inherited,
not even the hStdXxx handles in STARTUPINFO.
Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work,
Since it is used by git-upload-pack for example,
which expects inherited handles.
This leaves us with only creating temp files with the O_NOINHERIT flag.
Which (currently) only used by lock_file which is exactly what we want.

This test was added to verify the behaviour of merge

Because file handles are inherited by child processes,

To support this developer's use case of allowing build agents token-based

feature, allowing extra HTTP headers to be sent along with every HTTP
request.
This patch verifies that we can configure these extra HTTP headers via the

To test that extra HTTP headers are passed correctly, t5551 verifies that
a fetch succeeds when two required headers are passed, and that the fetch
does not succeed when those headers are not passed.
However, this test would also succeed if the configuration required only
one header. As Apache's configuration is notoriously tricky (this
developer frequently requires StackOverflow's help to understand Apache's
documentation), especially when still supporting the 2.2 line, let's just
really make sure that the test verifies what we want it to verify.

Lars Schneider noticed that the configuration introduced to test the
extra HTTP headers cannot be used with Apache 2.2 (which is still
actively maintained, as pointed out by Junio Hamano).
To let the tests pass with Apache 2.2 again, let's substitute the
offending <RequireAll> and `expr` by using old school RewriteCond
statements.
As RewriteCond does not allow testing for *non*-matches, we simply match
the desired case first and let it pass by marking the RewriteRule as
'[L]' ("last rule, do not process any other matching RewriteRules after
this"), and then have another RewriteRule that matches all other cases
and lets them fail via '[F]' ("fail").

We introduce a way to send custom HTTP headers with all requests.
This allows us, for example, to send an extra token from build agents
for temporary access to private repositories. (This is the use case that
triggered this patch.)
This feature can be used like this:
git -c http.extraheader='Secret: sssh!' fetch $URL $REF
Note that `curl_easy_setopt(..., CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ...)` takes only
a single list, overriding any previous call. This means we have to
collect _all_ of the headers we want to use into a single list, and
feed it to cURL in one shot. Since we already unconditionally set a
"pragma" header when initializing the curl handles, we can add our new
headers to that list.
For callers which override the default header list (like probe_rpc),
we provide `http_copy_default_headers()` so they can do the same
trick.

The point of having a whitelist of command-line config
options to pass to submodules was two-fold:
1. It prevented obvious nonsense like using core.worktree
for multiple repos.
2. It could prevent surprise when the user did not mean
for the options to leak to the submodules (e.g.,
http.sslverify=false).
For case 1, the answer is mostly "if it hurts, don't do
that". For case 2, we can note that any such example has a
matching inverted surprise (e.g., a user who meant
http.sslverify=true to apply everywhere, but it didn't).
So this whitelist is probably not giving us any benefit, and
is already creating a hassle as people propose things to put
on it. Let's just drop it entirely.
Note that we still need to keep a special code path for
"prepare the submodule environment", because we still have
to take care to pass through $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS (and
block the rest of the repo-specific environment variables).
We can do this easily from within the submodule shell
script, which lets us drop the submodule--helper option
entirely (and it's OK to do so because as a "--" program, it
is entirely a private implementation detail).

Before 14111fc (git: submodule honor -c credential.* from
command line, 2016-02-29), it was sufficient for code which
spawned a process in a submodule to just set the child
process's "env" field to "local_repo_env" to clear the
environment of any repo-specific variables.
That commit introduced a more complicated procedure, in
which we clear most variables but allow through sanitized
config. For C code, we used that procedure only for cloning,
but not for any of the programs spawned by submodule.c. As a
result, things like "git fetch --recurse-submodules" behave
differently than "git clone --recursive"; the former will
not pass through the sanitized config.
We can fix this by using prepare_submodule_repo_env()
everywhere in submodule.c.

the sanitized value of $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS when clearing

sub-programs.
We didn't catch this in our initial tests because we checked

script at all. Provoking "git submodule update" to do a
fetch demonstrates the bug.

The "git -c var=value" option stuffs the config value into
$GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, so that sub-processes can see it.
When the config is later read via git_config() or similar,
we parse it back out of that variable. The parsing end is a
little bit picky; it assumes that each entry was generated
with sq_quote_buf(), and that there is no extraneous
whitespace.
On the generating end, we are careful to append to an
existing $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable if it exists.
However, our test for "should we add a space separator" is
too liberal: it will add one even if the environment
variable exists but is empty. As a result, you might end up
with:
GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS=" 'core.foo=bar'"
which the parser will choke on.
This was hard to trigger in older versions of git, since we
only set the variable when we had something to put into it
(though you could certainly trigger it manually). But since
14111fc (git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command
line, 2016-02-29), the submodule code will unconditionally
put the $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable into the environment
of any operation in the submodule, whether it is empty or
not. So any of those operations which themselves use "git
-c" will generate the unparseable value and fail.
We can easily fix it by catching this case on the generating
side. While we're adding a test, let's also check that
multiple layers of "git -c" work, which was previously not
tested at all.

Due to the way that the git-submodule code works, it clears all local
git environment variables before entering submodules. This is normally
a good thing since we want to clear settings such as GIT_WORKTREE and
other variables which would affect the operation of submodule commands.
However, GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS is special, and we actually do want to
preserve these settings. However, we do not want to preserve all
configuration as many things should be left specific to the parent
project.
Add a git submodule--helper function, sanitize-config, which shall be
used to sanitize GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, removing all key/value pairs
except a small subset that are known to be safe and necessary.
Replace all the calls to clear_local_git_env with a wrapped function
that filters GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS using the new helper and then
restores it to the filtered subset after clearing the rest of the
environment.
