Stephane is reporting[1] a regression introduced in git v2.40.0 that leads

There were two reasons we didn't do this. As "git am" is designed
to grok e-mailed patches, not necessarily taken out of a Git
repostiory or even if it came from a Git repository not necessarily
produced with format-patch, we didn't want to single it out as the
"blessed" input producer to the command. Also, in the original
workflow that "git am" was invented for, the user of "am" was
expected to be a different person than the users of "format-patch".
But this is a very safe change to make in 2023. Thanks to the
effort by many contributors, Git ended up becoming a bit more
popular than we initially thought it would be, and "format-patch",
which took me a few weeks to pursuade Linus to take in 2005, seems
to have become the de-facto standard tool to produce patch e-mails.
Interestingly, the documentation for "git apply", which is listed in
SEE ALSO section of "git am" documentation, does mention "am" and
"format-patch" as two things that are related but different from
"apply" in an early part.

In 2007 the docbook project made the mistake of converting ' to \' for
man pages [1]. It's a problem because groff interprets \' as acute
accent which is rendered as ' in ASCII, but as ´ in utf-8.
This started a cascade of bug reports in git [2], debian [3], Arch Linux
[4], docbook itself [5], and probably many others.
A solution was to use the correct groff character: \(aq, which is always
rendered as ', but the problem is that such character doesn't work in
other troff programs.
A portable solution required the use of a conditional character that is
\(aq in groff, but ' in all others:
.ie \n(.g .ds Aq \(aq
.el .ds Aq '
The proper solution took time to be implemented in docbook, but in 2010
they did it [6]. So the docbook man page stylesheets were broken from
1.73 to 1.76.
Unfortunately by that point many workarounds already existed. In the
case of git, GNU_ROFF was introduced, and in the case of Arch Linux
a mapping from \' to ' was added to groff's man.local. Other
distributions might have done the same, or similar workarounds.
Since 2010 there is no need for this workaround, which is fixed
elsewhere, not just in docbook, but other layers as well.
Let's remove it.

Use gettimeofday instead of time(NULL) to get current time.
This avoids clock skew on glibc 2.31+ on Linux, where in the
first 1 to 2.5 ms of every second, time(NULL) returns a
value that is one less than the tv_sec part of
higher-resolution timestamps such as those returned by
gettimeofday or timespec_get, or those in the file system.
There are similar clock skew problems on AIX and MS-Windows,
which have problems in the first 5 ms of every second.
Without this patch, users can observe Git issuing a
timestamp T+1 before it issues timestamp T, because Git
sometimes uses time(NULL) or time(&t) and sometimes uses
higher-res methods like gettimeofday. Although strictly
speaking users should tolerate this behavior because a
superuser can always change the clock back, this is a
quality of implementation issue and users naturally expect
Git to issue timestamps in increasing order unless the
superuser has fiddled with the system clock.
This patch always uses gettimeofday(...) instead of time(...),
and I have verified that the resulting .o files never refer
to the name 'time'. A trickier patch would change only
those calls for which timestamp monotonicity is user-visible.
Such a patch would require more expertise about Git internals,
though, and would be harder to maintain later.
Another possibility would be to change Git's documentation
to warn users that Git does not always issue timestamps in
increasing order. However, Git users would likely be either
dismayed by this possibility, or confused by the level of
detail that any such documentation would require.
Yet another possibility would be to fix the Linux kernel so
that the time syscall is consistent with the other timestamp
syscalls. I suppose this has not been done due to
performance implications. (Git's use of timestamps is rare
enough that performance is not a significant consideration
for git.) However, this wouldn't fix Git's problem on older
Linux kernels, or on AIX or MS-Windows.

There's code in git_connect() that checks whether we are doing a push
with protocol_v2, and if so, drops us to protocol_v0 (since we know
how to do v2 only for fetches). But it misses some corner cases:
1. it checks the "prog" variable, which is actually the path to
receive-pack on the remote side. By default this is just
"git-receive-pack", but it could be an arbitrary string (like
"/path/to/git receive-pack", etc). We'd accidentally stay in v2
mode in this case.
2. besides "receive-pack" and "upload-pack", there's one other value
we'd expect: "upload-archive" for handling "git archive --remote".
Like receive-pack, this doesn't understand v2, and should use the
v0 protocol.
In practice, neither of these causes bugs in the real world so far. We
do send a "we understand v2" probe to the server, but since no server
implements v2 for anything but upload-pack, it's simply ignored. But
this would eventually become a problem if we do implement v2 for those
endpoints, as older clients would falsely claim to understand it,
leading to a server response they can't parse.
We can fix (1) by passing in both the program path and the "name" of the
operation. I treat the name as a string here, because that's the pattern
set in transport_connect(), which is one of our callers (we were simply
throwing away the "name" value there before).
We can fix (2) by allowing only known-v2 protocols ("upload-pack"),
rather than blocking unknown ones ("receive-pack" and "upload-archive").
That will mean whoever eventually implements v2 push will have to adjust
this list, but that's reasonable. We'll do the safe, conservative thing
(sticking to v0) by default, and anybody working on v2 will quickly
realize this spot needs to be updated.
The new tests cover the receive-pack and upload-archive cases above, and
re-confirm that we allow v2 with an arbitrary "--upload-pack" path (that
already worked before this patch, of course, but it would be an easy
thing to break if we flipped the allow/block logic without also handling
"name" separately).
Here are a few miscellaneous implementation notes, since I had to do a
little head-scratching to understand who calls what:
- transport_connect() is called only for git-upload-archive. For
non-http git remotes, that resolves to the virtual connect_git()
function (which then calls git_connect(); confused yet?). So
plumbing through "name" in connect_git() covers that.
- for regular fetches and pushes, callers use higher-level functions
like transport_fetch_refs(). For non-http git remotes, that means
calling git_connect() under the hood via connect_setup(). And that
uses the "for_push" flag to decide which name to use.
- likewise, plumbing like fetch-pack and send-pack may call
git_connect() directly; they each know which name to use.
- for remote helpers (including http), we already have separate
parameters for "name" and "exec" (another name for "prog"). In
process_connect_service(), we feed the "name" to the helper via
"connect" or "stateless-connect" directives.
There's also a "servpath" option, which can be used to tell the
helper about the "exec" path. But no helpers we implement support
it! For http it would be useless anyway (no reasonable server
implementation will allow you to send a shell command to run the
server). In theory it would be useful for more obscure helpers like
remote-ext, but even there it is not implemented.
It's tempting to get rid of it simply to reduce confusion, but we
have publicly documented it since it was added in fa8c097cc9
(Support remote helpers implementing smart transports, 2009-12-09),
so it's possible some helper in the wild is using it.
- So for v2, helpers (again, including http) are mainly used via
stateless-connect, driven by the main program. But they do still
need to decide whether to do a v2 probe. And so there's similar
logic in remote-curl.c's discover_refs() that looks for
"git-receive-pack". But it's not buggy in the same way. Since it
doesn't support servpath, it is always dealing with a "service"
string like "git-receive-pack". And since it doesn't support
straight "connect", it can't be used for "upload-archive".
So we could leave that spot alone. But I've updated it here to match
the logic we're changing in connect_git(). That seems like the least
confusing thing for somebody who has to touch both of these spots
later (say, to add v2 push support). I didn't add a new test to make
sure this doesn't break anything; we already have several tests (in
t5551 and elsewhere) that make sure we are using v2 over http.
