The "rev-list" and other commands in the "log" family, being the
oldest part of the system, use their own custom argument parsers,
and integer values of some options are parsed with atoi(), which
allows a non-digit after the number (e.g., "1q") to be silently
ignored. As a natural consequence, an argument that does not begin
with a digit (e.g., "q") silently becomes zero, too.
Switch to use strtol_i() and parse_timestamp() appropriately to
catch bogus input.
Note that one may naïvely expect that --max-count, --skip, etc., to
only take non-negative values, but we must allow them to also take
negative values, as an escape hatch to countermand a limit set by an
earlier option on the command line; the underlying variables are
initialized to (-1) and "--max-count=-1", for example, is a
legitimate way to reinitialize the limit.

In our config callback, we call git_config_string() to copy the incoming
value string into a local string. But we don't modify or store that
string; we just look at it and then free it. We can make the code
simpler by just looking at the value passed into the callback.
Note that we do need to check for NULL, which is the one bit of logic
git_config_string() did for us. And I could even see an argument that we
are abstracting any error-checking of the value behind the
git_config_string() layer. But in practice no other callbacks behave
this way; it is standard to check for NULL and then just look at the
string directly.

We parse push config by calling git_config() with our git_push_config()
callback. But inside that callback, when we see "push.gpgsign", we
ignore the value passed into the callback and instead make a new call to
git_config_get_value().
This is unnecessary at best, and slightly wrong at worst (if there are
multiple instances, get_value() only returns one; both methods end up
with last-one-wins, but we'd fail to report errors if earlier
incarnations were bogus).
The call was added by 68c757f219 (push: add a config option push.gpgSign
for default signed pushes, 2015-08-19). That commit doesn't give any
reason to deviate from the usual strategy here; it was probably just
somebody unfamiliar with our config API and its conventions.
It also added identical code to builtin/send-pack.c, which also handles
push.gpgsign.
And then the same issue spread to its neighbor in b33a15b081 (push: add
recurseSubmodules config option, 2015-11-17), presumably via
cargo-culting.
This patch fixes all three to just directly use the value provided to
the callback. While I was adjusting the code to do so, I noticed that
push.gpgsign is overly careful about a NULL value. After
git_parse_maybe_bool() has returned anything besides 1, we know that the
value cannot be NULL (if it were, it would be an implicit "true", and
many callers of maybe_bool rely on that). Here that lets us shorten "if
(v && !strcasecmp(v, ...))" to just "if (!strcasecmp(v, ...))".

Since this code path was recently converted to check for a NULL value,
it now behaves exactly like git_config_string(). We can shorten the code
a bit by using that helper.
Note that git_config_string() takes a const pointer, but our storage
variable is non-const. We're better off making this "const", though,
since the default value points to a string literal (and thus it would be
an error if anybody tried to write to it).

The config callbacks for a few diff.* variables simply return -1 when we
encounter an error. The message you get mentions the offending location,
like:
fatal: bad config variable 'diff.algorithm' in file '.git/config' at line 7
but is vague about "bad" (as it must be, since the message comes from
the generic config code). Most callbacks add their own messages here, so
let's do the same. E.g.:
error: unknown value for config 'diff.algorithm': foo
fatal: bad config variable 'diff.algorithm' in file '.git/config' at line 7
I've written the string in a way that should be reusable for
translators, and matches another similar message in transport.c (there
doesn't yet seem to be a popular generic message to reuse here, so
hopefully this will get the ball rolling).
Note that in the case of diff.algorithm, our parse_algorithm_value()
helper does detect a NULL value string. But it's still worth detecting
it ourselves here, since we can give a more specific error message (and
which is the usual one for unexpected implicit-bool values).

The point of git_die_config() is to let configset users mention the
file/line info for invalid config, like:
if (!git_config_get_int("foo.bar", &value)) {
if (!is_ok(value))
git_die_config("foo.bar");
}
Using it from within a config callback is unnecessary, because we can
simply return an error, at which point the config machinery will mention
the file/line of the offending variable. Worse, using git_die_config()
can actually produce the wrong location when the key is found in
multiple spots. For instance, with config like:
[imap]
host
host = foo
we'll report the line number of the "host = foo" line, but the problem
is on the implicit-bool "host" line.
We can fix it by just returning an error code.

We record the submodule branch config value as a string, so config that
uses an implicit bool like:
[submodule "foo"]
branch
will cause us to segfault. Note that unlike most other config-parsing
bugs of this class, this can be triggered by parsing a bogus .gitmodules
file (which we might do after cloning a malicious repository).
I don't think the security implications are important, though. It's
always a strict NULL dereference, not an out-of-bounds read or write. So
we should reliably kill the process. That may be annoying, but the
impact is limited to the attacker preventing the victim from
successfully using "git clone --recurse-submodules", etc, on the
malicious repo.

the usual way.
Since this command is purely informational (and we aren't trying to run

this sort of misconfiguration should be pretty rare, and the error

segfaulting (which is the current behavior). Note that it's OK to use
config_error_nonbool() here, even though the return value is an enum. We
explicitly document EXTENSION_ERROR as -1 for compatibility with
error(), etc.
This is the only extension value that has this problem. Most of the

When the config parser sees an "implicit" bool like:

someVariable
it passes NULL to the config callback. Any callback code which expects a
string must check for NULL. This usually happens via helpers like
git_config_string(), etc, but some custom code forgets to do so and will
segfault.
These are all fairly vanilla cases where the solution is just the usual
pattern of:
if (!value)
return config_error_nonbool(var);
though note that in a few cases we have to split initializers like:
int some_var = initializer();
into:
int some_var;
if (!value)
return config_error_nonbool(var);
some_var = initializer();

Usually "bisect reset" cleans up any refs/bisect/ refs, along with
meta-files like .git/BISECT_LOG. But it only does so after deciding that
a bisection is active, which it does by reading BISECT_START. This is
usually fine, but it's possible to get into a confusing state if the
BISECT_START file is gone, but other cruft is left (this might be due to
a bug, or a system crash, etc).
And since "bisect reset" refuses to do anything in this state, the user
has no easy way to clean up the leftover cruft. While another "bisect
start" would clear the state, in the interim it can be annoying, as
other tools (like our bash prompt code) think we are bisecting, and
for-each-ref output may be polluted with refs/bisect/ entries.
Further adding to the confusion is that running "bisect reset $some_ref"
skips the BISECT_START check. So it never realizes that there's no
bisection active and does the cleanup anyway!
So let's just make sure we always do the cleanup, whether we looked at
BISECT_START or not. If the user doesn't give us a commit to reset to,
we'll still say "We are not bisecting" and skip the call to "git
checkout".

When we added generic end-of-options support in 51b4594b40
(parse-options: allow --end-of-options as a synonym for "--",
2019-08-06), we made them true synonyms. They both stop option parsing,
and they are both returned in the resulting argv if the KEEP_DASHDASH
flag is used.
The hope was that this would work for all callers:
- most generic callers would not pass KEEP_DASHDASH, and so would just
do the right thing (stop parsing there) without needing to know
anything more.
- callers with KEEP_DASHDASH were generally going to rely on
setup_revisions(), which knew to handle --end-of-options specially
But that turned out miss quite a few cases that pass KEEP_DASHDASH but
do their own manual parsing. For example, "git reset", "git checkout",
and so on want pass KEEP_DASHDASH so they can support:
git reset $revs -- $paths
but of course aren't going to actually do a traversal, so they don't
call setup_revisions(). And those cases currently get confused by
--end-of-options being left in place, like:
$ git reset --end-of-options HEAD
fatal: option '--end-of-options' must come before non-option arguments
We could teach each of these callers to handle the leftover option
explicitly. But let's try to be a bit more clever and see if we can
solve it centrally in parse-options.c.
The bogus assumption here is that KEEP_DASHDASH tells us the caller
wants to see --end-of-options in the result. But really, the callers
which need to know that --end-of-options was reached are those that may
potentially parse more options from argv. In other words, those that
pass the KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT flag.
If such a caller is aware of --end-of-options (e.g., because they call
setup_revisions() with the result), then this will continue to do the
right thing, treating anything after --end-of-options as a non-option.
And if the caller is not aware of --end-of-options, they are better off
keeping it intact, because either:
1. They are just passing the options along to somebody else anyway, in
which case that somebody would need to know about the
--end-of-options marker.
2. They are going to parse the remainder themselves, at which point
choking on --end-of-options is much better than having it silently
removed. The point is to avoid option injection from untrusted
command line arguments, and bailing is better than quietly treating
the untrusted argument as an option.
This fixes bugs with --end-of-options across several commands, but I've
focused on two in particular here:
- t7102 confirms that "git reset --end-of-options --foo" now works.
This checks two things. One, that we no longer barf on
"--end-of-options" itself (which previously we did, even if the rev
was something vanilla like "HEAD" instead of "--foo"). And two, that
we correctly treat "--foo" as a revision rather than an option.
This fix applies to any other cases which pass KEEP_DASHDASH but not
KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT, like "git checkout", "git check-attr", "git grep",
etc, which would previously choke on "--end-of-options".
- t9350 shows the opposite case: fast-export passed KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT
but not KEEP_DASHDASH, but then passed the result on to
setup_revisions(). So it never saw --end-of-options, and would
erroneously parse "fast-export --end-of-options --foo" as having a
"--foo" option. This is now fixed.
Note that this does shut the door for callers which want to know if we
hit end-of-options, but don't otherwise need to keep unknown opts. The
obvious thing here is feeding it to the DWIM verify_filename()
machinery. And indeed, this is a problem even for commands which do
understand --end-of-options already. For example, without this patch,
you get:
$ git log --end-of-options --foo
fatal: option '--foo' must come before non-option arguments
because we refuse to accept "--foo" as a filename (because it starts
with a dash) even though we could know that we saw end-of-options. The
verify_filename() function simply doesn't accept this extra information.
So that is the status quo, and this patch doubles down further on that.
Commands like "git reset" have the same problem, but they won't even
know that parse-options saw --end-of-options! So even if we fixed
verify_filename(), they wouldn't have anything to pass to it.
But in practice I don't think this is a big deal. If you are being
careful enough to use --end-of-options, then you should also be using
"--" to disambiguate and avoid the DWIM behavior in the first place. In
other words, doing:
git log --end-of-options --this-is-a-rev -- --this-is-a-path
works correctly, and will continue to do so. And likewise, with this
patch now:
git reset --end-of-options --this-is-a-rev -- --this-is-a-path
will work, as well.

It is tempting to think of "files and directories" of the current
directory as valid inputs to the add and set subcommands of git
sparse-checkout. However, in non-cone mode, they often aren't and using
them as potential completions leads to *many* forms of confusion:
Issue #1. It provides the *wrong* files and directories.
For
git sparse-checkout add
we always want to add files and directories not currently in our sparse
checkout, which means we want file and directories not currently present
in the current working tree. Providing the files and directories
currently present is thus always wrong.
For
git sparse-checkout set
we have a similar problem except in the subset of cases where we are
trying to narrow our checkout to a strict subset of what we already
have. That is not a very common scenario, especially since it often
does not even happen to be true for the first use of the command; for
years we required users to create a sparse-checkout via
git sparse-checkout init
git sparse-checkout set <args...>
(or use a clone option that did the init step for you at clone time).
The init command creates a minimal sparse-checkout with just the
top-level directory present, meaning the set command has to be used to
expand the checkout. Thus, only in a special and perhaps unusual cases
would any of the suggestions from normal file and directory completion
be appropriate.
Issue #2: Suggesting patterns that lead to warnings is unfriendly.
If the user specifies any regular file and omits the leading '/', then
the sparse-checkout command will warn the user that their command is
problematic and suggest they use a leading slash instead.
Issue #3: Completion gets confused by leading '/', and provides wrong paths.
Users often want to anchor their patterns to the toplevel of the
repository, especially when listing individual files. There are a
number of reasons for this, but notably even sparse-checkout encourages
them to do so (as noted above). However, if users do so (via adding a
leading '/' to their pattern), then bash completion will interpret the
leading slash not as a request for a path at the toplevel of the
repository, but as a request for a path at the root of the filesytem.
That means at best that completion cannot help with such paths, and if
it does find any completions, they are almost guaranteed to be wrong.
Issue #4: Suggesting invalid patterns from subdirectories is unfriendly.
There is no per-directory equivalent to .gitignore with
sparse-checkouts. There is only a single worktree-global
$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout file. As such, paths to files must be
specified relative to the toplevel of a repository. Providing
suggestions of paths that are relative to the current working directory,
as bash completion defaults to, is wrong when the current working
directory is not the worktree toplevel directory.
Issue #5: Paths with special characters will be interpreted incorrectly
The entries in the sparse-checkout file are patterns, not paths. While
most paths also qualify as patterns (though even in such cases it would
be better for users to not use them directly but prefix them with a
leading '/'), there are a variety of special characters that would need
special escaping beyond the normal shell escaping: '*', '?', '\', '[',
']', and any leading '#' or '!'. If completion suggests any such paths,
users will likely expect them to be treated as an exact path rather than
as a pattern that might match some number of files other than 1.
However, despite the first four issues, we can note that _if_ users are
using tab completion, then they are probably trying to specify a path in
the index. As such, we transform their argument into a top-level-rooted
pattern that matches such a file. For example, if they type:
git sparse-checkout add Make<TAB>
we could "complete" to
git sparse-checkout add /Makefile
or, if they ran from the Documentation/technical/ subdirectory:
git sparse-checkout add m<TAB>
we could "complete" it to:
git sparse-checkout add /Documentation/technical/multi-pack-index.txt
Note in both cases I use "complete" in quotes, because we actually add
characters both before and after the argument in question, so we are
kind of abusing "bash completions" to be "bash completions AND
beginnings".
The fifth issue is a bit stickier, especially when you consider that we
not only need to deal with escaping issues because of special meanings
of patterns in sparse-checkout & gitignore files, but also that we need
to consider escaping issues due to ls-files needing to sometimes quote
or escape characters, and because the shell needs to escape some
characters. The multiple interacting forms of escaping could get ugly;
this patch makes no attempt to do so and simply documents that we
decided to not deal with those corner cases for now but at least get the

The "set" and "add" subcommands of "sparse-checkout", when in cone mode,
should only complete on directories. For bash_completion in general,
when no completions are returned for any subcommands, it will often fall
back to standard completion of files and directories as a substitute.
That is not helpful here. Since we have already looked for all valid
completions, if none are found then falling back to standard bash file
and directory completion is at best actively misleading. In fact, there
are three different ways it can be actively misleading. Add a long
comment in the code about how that fallback behavior can deceive, and
disable the fallback by returning a fake result as the sole completion.

_git_sparse_checkout() was checking whether we were in cone mode by
checking whether either:
A) core.sparseCheckoutCone was "true"
B) "--cone" was specified on the command line
This code has 2 bugs I didn't catch in my review at the time
1) core.sparseCheckout must be "true" for core.sparseCheckoutCone to
be relevant (which matters since "git sparse-checkout disable"
only unsets core.sparseCheckout, not core.sparseCheckoutCone)
2) The presence of "--no-cone" should override any config setting
Further, I forgot to update this logic as part of 2d95707a02
("sparse-checkout: make --cone the default", 2022-04-22) for the new
default.
Update the code for the new default and make it be more careful in
determining whether to complete based on cone mode or non-cone mode.

If, in the root of a project, one types
git sparse-checkout set --cone ../<TAB>
then an error message of the form
fatal: ../: '../' is outside repository at '/home/newren/floss/git'
is written to stderr, which munges the users view of their own command.
Squelch such messages by using the __git() wrapper, designed for this
purpose; see commit e15098a314 (completion: consolidate silencing errors
from git commands, 2017-02-03) for more on the wrapper.

When diff.renames is turned on, the diff-filter will not return renamed
files (or copied ones with diff.renames=copy) and potential non-ASCII
characters would not be caught by this hook.
Use the plumbing command diff-index instead of the porcelain one to not
be affected by diff.rename.

One of the tests in t6301 verifies that the reference backend correctly
warns about the case where a reference points to a non-existent object.
This is done by writing the object ID into the loose reference directly,
which is quite intimate with how the files backend works.
Refactor the code to instead use `test-tool ref-store` to write the
reference, which is backend-agnostic.
There are two more tests in this file which write loose files directly,
as well. But both of them are indeed quite specific to the loose files
backend and cannot be easily ported to other backends. We thus mark them
as requiring the REFFILES prerequisite.

We have multiple tests in t5551 that write thousands of tags. To do so
efficiently we generate the tags by writing the `packed-refs` file
directly, which of course assumes that the reference database is backed
by the files backend.
Refactor the code to instead use a single `git update-ref --stdin`
command to write the tags. While the on-disk end result is not the same
as we now have a bunch of loose refs instead of a single packed-refs
file, the distinction shouldn't really matter for any of the tests that
use this helper.

One of the tests in t5401 creates a bunch of branches by calling
git-branch(1) for every one of them. This is quite inefficient and takes
a comparatively long time even on Unix systems where spawning processes
is comparatively fast. Refactor it to instead use git-update-ref(1),
which leads to an almost 10-fold speedup:
```
Benchmark 1: ./t5401-update-hooks.sh (rev = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 983.2 ms ± 97.6 ms [User: 328.8 ms, System: 679.2 ms]
Range (min … max): 882.9 ms … 1078.0 ms 3 runs
Benchmark 2: ./t5401-update-hooks.sh (rev = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 9.312 s ± 0.398 s [User: 2.766 s, System: 6.617 s]
Range (min … max): 8.885 s … 9.674 s 3 runs
Summary
./t5401-update-hooks.sh (rev = HEAD) ran
9.47 ± 1.02 times faster than ./t5401-update-hooks.sh (rev = HEAD~)

In t14013, we have various different tests that verify whether certain
diffs are generated as expected. As much of the logic is the same across
many of the tests we some common code in there that generates the actual
test cases for us.
As some diffs are more special than others depending on the command line
parameters passed to git-diff(1), these tests need to adapt behaviour to
the specific test case sometimes. This is done via colon-prefixed magic
commands, of which we currently know "failure" and "noellipses". The
logic to parse this magic is a bit convoluted though and hard to grasp,
also due to the rather unnecessary nesting.
Un-nest the cases so that it becomes a bit more straightfoward. The
logic is further simplified by removing support for the "failure" magic,
which is not actually used anymore.

One of the tests in t3310 exercises whether the special references
`NOTES_MERGE_PARTIAL` and `NOTES_MERGE_REF` exist as expected when the
notes subsystem runs into a merge conflict. This is done by checking
on-disk data structures directly though instead of asking the reference
backend.
Refactor the test to use git-rev-parse(1) instead.

The tests for `git reflog delete --updateref` are currently marked to
only run with the reffiles backend. There is no inherent reason that
this should be the case other than the fact that the setup messes with
the on-disk reflogs directly.
Refactor the test to stop doing so and drop the REFFILES prerequisite.

One of the tests in t1410 is marked to be specific to the files
reference backend, which is because we create a reflog manually by
creating the respective file. Refactor the test to instead use our
`test-tool ref-store` helper to create the reflog so that it works with
other reference backends, as well.

One of the tests in t1401 asserts that we can create a symref from a
symbolic reference to a top-level reference, which is done by linking
from `refs/heads/top-level` to `FETCH_HEAD`. But `FETCH_HEAD` is not a
proper reference and doesn't even follow the loose reference format, so
it is not a good candidate for the logic under test.
Refactor the test to use `ORIG_HEAD` instead of `FETCH_HEAD`. This also
works with other backends than the reffiles one.

We have a bunch of tests in t1400 that check whether we correctly read
reflog entries. These tests create the reflog by manually writing to the
respective loose file, which makes them specific to the files backend.
But while some of them do indeed exercise very specific edge cases in
the reffiles backend, most of the tests exercise generic functionality
that should be common to all backends.
Unfortunately, we can't easily adapt all of the tests to work with all
backends. Instead, split out the reffile-specific tests from the ones
that should work with all backends and refactor the generic ones to not
write to the on-disk files directly anymore.

Two of our tests in t0410 verify whether partial clones end up with the
correct repository format version and extensions. These checks require
the reffiles backend because every other backend would by necessity bump
the repository format version to be at least 1.
