The strbuf_parent_directory() method was added as a static method in
contrib/scalar by d0feac4e8c (scalar: 'register' sets recommended
config and starts maintenance, 2021-12-03) and then removed in
65f6a9eb0b (scalar: constrain enlistment search, 2022-08-18), but now
there is a need for a similar method in the bundle URI feature.
Re-add the method, this time in strbuf.c, but with a new name:
strbuf_strip_file_from_path(). The method requirements are slightly
modified to allow a trailing slash, in which case nothing is done, which
makes the name change valuable.

Update the parser used for credential.<URL>.<variable>

bugreport: add tool to generate debugging info
help: move list_config_help to builtin/help
46fd7b3900 ("credential: allow wildcard patterns when matching config",
2020-02-20) introduced support for matching credential helpers using
urlmatch. In doing so, it introduced code to percent-encode the paths
we get from the credential helper so that they could be effectively
matched by the urlmatch code.
Unfortunately, that code had a bug: it percent-encoded the slashes in
the path, resulting in any URL path that contained multiple levels
(i.e., a directory component) not matching.
We are currently the only caller of the percent-encoding code and could
simply change it not to encode slashes. However, we still want to
encode slashes in the username component, so we need to have both
behaviors available.
So instead, let's add a flag to control encoding slashes, which is the
behavior we want here, and use it when calling the code in this case.
Add a test for credential helper URLs using multiple slashes in the
path, which our test suite previously lacked, as well as one ensuring
that we handle usernames with slashes gracefully. Since we're testing
other percent-encoding handling, let's add one for non-ASCII UTF-8
characters as well.

A configuration element used for credential subsystem can now use
wildcard pattern to specify for which set of URLs the entry
applies.
* bc/wildcard-credential:
credential: allow wildcard patterns when matching config
credential: use the last matching username in the config
t0300: add tests for some additional cases
t1300: add test for urlmatch with multiple wildcards
mailmap: add an additional email address for brian m. carlson
In some cases, a user will want to use a specific credential helper for
a wildcard pattern, such as https://*.corp.example.com. We have code
that handles this already with the urlmatch code, so let's use that
instead of our custom code.
Since the urlmatch code is a superset of our current matching in terms
of capabilities, there shouldn't be any cases of things that matched
previously that don't match now. However, in addition to wildcard
matching, we now use partial path matching, which can cause slightly
different behavior in the case that a helper applies to the prefix
(considering path components) of the remote URL. While different, this
is probably the behavior people were wanting anyway.
Since we're using the urlmatch code, we need to encode the components
we've gotten into a URL to match, so add a function to percent-encode
data and format the URL with it. We now also no longer need to the
custom code to match URLs, so let's remove it.
Additionally, the urlmatch code always looks for the best match, whereas
we want all matches for credential helpers to preserve existing
behavior. Let's add an optional field, select_fn, that lets us control
which items we want (in this case, all of them) and default it to the
best-match code that already exists for other users.

strbuf_release leaves the strbuf in a valid, initialized state, so
there is no need to call strbuf_init after it.
Moreover, this is not likely to change in the future: strbuf_release
leaving the strbuf in a valid state has been easy to maintain and has
been very helpful for Git's robustness and simplicity (e.g.,
preventing use-after-free vulnerabilities).
Document the semantics so the next generation of Git developers can
become familiar with them without reading the implementation. It is
still not advisable to call strbuf_release too often because it is
wasteful, so add a note pointing to strbuf_reset for that.
The same semantics apply to strbuf_detach. Add a similar note to its

strbuf_setlen(., 0) writes '\0' to sb.buf[0], where buf is either
allocated and unique to sb, or the global slopbuf. The slopbuf is meant
to provide a guarantee that buf is not NULL and that a freshly
initialized buffer contains the empty string, but it is not supposed to
be written to. That strbuf_setlen writes to slopbuf has at least two
implications:
First, it's wrong in principle. Second, it might be hiding misuses which
are just waiting to wreak havoc. Third, ThreadSanitizer detects a race
when multiple threads write to slopbuf at roughly the same time, thus
potentially making any more critical races harder to spot.
Avoid writing to strbuf_slopbuf in strbuf_setlen. Let's instead assert
on the first byte of slopbuf being '\0', since it helps ensure the
promised invariant of buf[len] == '\0'. (We know that "len" was already
0, or someone has messed with "alloc". If someone has fiddled with the
fields that much beyond the correct interface, they're on their own.)
This is a function which is used in many places, possibly also in hot
code paths. There are two branches in strbuf_setlen already, and we are
adding a third and possibly a fourth (in the assert). In hot code paths,
we hopefully reuse the buffer in order to avoid continous reallocations.
Thus, after a start-up phase, we should always take the same path,
which might help branch prediction, and we would never make the assert.
If a hot code path continuously reallocates, we probably have bigger
performance problems than this new safety-check.
Simple measurements do not contradict this reasoning. 100000000 times
resetting a buffer and adding the empty string takes 5.29/5.26 seconds
with/without this patch (best of three). Releasing at every iteration
yields 18.01/17.87. Adding a 30-character string instead of the empty
string yields 5.61/5.58 and 17.28/17.28(!).
This patch causes the git binary emitted by gcc 5.4.0 -O2 on my machine
to grow from 11389848 bytes to 11497184 bytes, an increase of 0.9%.
I also tried to piggy-back on the fact that we already check alloc,
which should already tell us whether we are using the slopbuf:
if (sb->alloc) {
if (len > sb->alloc - 1)
die("BUG: strbuf_setlen() beyond buffer");
sb->buf[len] = '\0';
} else {
if (len)
die("BUG: strbuf_setlen() beyond buffer");
assert(!strbuf_slopbuf[0]);
}
sb->len = len;
That didn't seem to be much slower (5.38, 18.02, 5.70, 17.32 seconds),
but it does introduce some minor code duplication. The resulting git
binary was 11510528 bytes large (another 0.1% increase).

There are certain C99 features that might be nice to use in
our code base, but we've hesitated to do so in order to
avoid breaking compatibility with older compilers. But we
don't actually know if people are even using pre-C99
compilers these days.
One way to figure that out is to introduce a very small use
of a feature, and see if anybody complains. The strbuf code
is a good place to do this for a few reasons:
- it always gets compiled, no matter which Makefile knobs
have been tweaked.
- it's very stable; this definition hasn't changed in a
long time and is not likely to (so if we have to revert,
it's unlikely to cause headaches)
If this patch can survive a few releases without complaint,
then we can feel more confident that designated initializers
are widely supported by our user base. It also is an
indication that other C99 features may be supported, but not
a guarantee (e.g., gcc had designated initializers before
C99 existed).
And if we do get complaints, then we'll have gained some
data and we can easily revert this patch.

strbuf_addftime() is further getting tweaked.
* ab/strbuf-addftime-tzname-boolify:
strbuf: change an always NULL/"" strbuf_addftime() param to bool
strbuf.h comment: discuss strbuf_addftime() arguments in order
strbuf_addftime() allows callers to pass a time zone name for
expanding %Z. The only current caller either passes the empty string
or NULL, in which case %Z is handed over verbatim to strftime(3).
Replace that string parameter with a flag controlling whether to
remove %Z from the format specification. This simplifies the code.
