When given an existing but unreadable file as a configuration file,
gitweb behaved as if the file did not exist at all, but now it
errors out. This is a change that may break backward compatibility.
* mj/gitweb-unreadable-config-error:
gitweb: die when a configuration file cannot be read
Fix a possibility of a permission to access error go unnoticed.
Perl uses two different variables to manage errors from a "do
$filename" construct. One is $@, which is set in this case when do
is unable to compile the file. The other is $!, which is set in case
do cannot read the file. The current code only checks "$@", which
means a configuration file passed to GitWeb that is not readable by
the server process does not cause it to "die".
Make sure we also check and act on "$!" to fix this.

According to the HTML Standard FAQ:
“What is the DOCTYPE for modern HTML documents?
In text/html documents:
<!DOCTYPE html>
In documents delivered with an XML media type: no DOCTYPE is required
and its use is generally unnecessary. However, you may use one if you
want (see the following question). Note that the above is well-formed
XML.”
Source: [1]
Gitweb uses an XHTML 1.0 DOCTYPE:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
While that DOCTYPE is still valid [2], it has several disadvantages:
1. It’s misleading. If an XML parser uses the DTD at the given link,
then the entities and ⋅ won’t get declared. Instead, the
parser has to use a DTD from the HTML Standard that has nothing to do
with XHTML 1.0 [2].
2. It’s obsolete. XHTML 1.0 was last revised in 2002 and was superseded in
2018 [3].
3. It’s unreliable. Gitweb uses and ⋅ but lets an external file
define them. “[…U]using entity references for characters in XML documents
is unsafe if they are defined in an external file (except for <, >,
&, ", and ').” [4]

Tie-break branches that point at the same object in the list of
branches on GitWeb to show the one pointed at by HEAD early.
* gh/gitweb-branch-sort:
gitweb: use HEAD as secondary sort key in git_get_heads_list()
The "heads" section on the gitweb summary page shows heads in
`-committerdate` order (ie. the most recently-modified ones at the
top), tie-breaking equal-dated refs using the implicit `refname` sort
fallback. This recency-based ordering appears in multiple places in the
UI, such as the project listing, the tags list, and even the
shortlog and log views.
Given two equal-dated refs, however, sorting the `HEAD` ref before
the non-`HEAD` ref provides more useful signal than merely sorting by
refname. For example, say we had "master" and "trunk" both pointing at
the same commit but "trunk" was `HEAD`, sorting "trunk" first helps
communicate its special status as the default branch that you'll check
out if you clone the repo.
Add `-HEAD` as a secondary sort key to the `git for-each-ref` call
in `git_get_heads_list()` to provide the desired behavior. The most
recently committed refs will appear first, but `HEAD`-ness will be used
as a tie-breaker. Note that `refname` is the implicit fallback sort key,
which means that two same-dated non-`HEAD` refs will continue to be
sorted in lexicographical order, as they are today.

The 'clean' target is still noticeably slow on cygwin, despite the

$ make clean
...
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ramsay/git/gitweb'
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/ramsay/git'

...
$
has been timed at 10.361s on my laptop (an old core i5-4200M @ 2.50GHz,
8GB RAM, 1TB HDD).
Notice that the 'clean' target is making a nested call to the parent
Makefile to ensure that the GIT-VERSION-FILE is up-to-date. This is to
ensure that the $(GIT_VERSION) make variable is set, once that file had
been included. However, the 'clean' target does not use the $(GIT_VERSION)
variable, directly or indirectly, so it does not have any affect on what
the target removes. Therefore, the time spent on ensuring an up to date
GIT-VERSION-FILE is wasted effort.
In order to eliminate such wasted effort, use the value of the internal
$(MAKECMDGOALS) variable to only '-include ../GIT-VERSION-FILE' when the
target is not 'clean'. (This drops the time down to 8.430s, on my laptop,
giving an improvement of 18.64%).

Documentation: fix a bunch of typos, both old and new
There's a cross-site scripting problem in gitweb, where it will print
URLs generated by its href() helper without further quoting. This allows
an attacker to point a victim to a specially crafted gitweb URL and
inject arbitrary HTML into the resulting page (which the victim sees as
coming from gitweb).
The base of the URL comes from evaluate_uri(), which pulls the value of
$REQUEST_URI via the CGI module. It tries to strip off $PATH_INFO, but
fails to do so in some cases (including ones that contain special
characters, like "+"). Most of the uses of the URL end up being passed
to "$cgi->a(-href = href())", which will get quoted properly by the CGI
module. But in a few places, we output them ourselves as part of
manually-generated HTML, and whatever was in the original URL will
appear unquoted in the output.
Given that all of the nearby variables placed into this manual HTML
_are_ quoted, it seems like the authors assumed that these URLs would
not need quoting. So it's possible that the bug is actually in
evaluate_uri(), which should be doing a more careful job of stripping
$PATH_INFO. There's some discussion in a comment in that function, as
well as the commit message in 81d3fe9f48 (gitweb: fix wrong base URL
when non-root DirectoryIndex, 2009-02-15). But I'm not sure I understand
it.
Regardless, it's a good idea to quote these values at the point of
insertion into the HTML output:
1. Even if there is a bug in evaluate_uri(), this would give us
belt-and-suspenders protection.
2. evaluate_uri() is only handling the base. Some generated URLs will
also mention arbitrary refs or filenames in the repositories, and
these should be quoted anyway.
3. It should never _hurt_ to quote (and that's what all of the
$cgi->a() calls are doing already).
So there may be further work here, but this patch at least prevents the
XSS vulnerability, and shouldn't make anything worse.
The test here covers the calls in print_feed_meta(), but I manually
audited every call to href() to see how its output was used, and quoted
appropriately. Most of them are esc_attr(), as they're used in tag
attributes, but I used esc_html() when the URLs were printed bare. The
distinction is largely academic, as one is implemented as a wrapper for
the other.

Gitweb has several hard-coded 40 values throughout it to check for
values that are passed in or acquired from Git. To simplify the code,
introduce a regex variable that matches either exactly 40 or exactly 64
hex characters, and use this variable anywhere we would have previously
hard-coded a 40 in a regex.
Add some helper functions which allow us to write tighter regexes that
match exactly the number of hex characters we're expecting.
Similarly, switch the code that looks for deleted diffinfo information
to look for either 40 or 64 zeros, and update one piece of code to use
this function. Finally, when formatting a log line, allow an
abbreviated describe output to contain up to 64 characters.

There's surely room for improvement here, but I just wanted to address
the very common case of sticking "git describe" output into commit
messages without trying to link to all possible refnames, that's going
to be a rather futile exercise given that this is free text, and it
would be prohibitively expensive to look up whether the references in
question exist in our repository.
There was on-list discussion about how we could do better than this

"gitweb--helper" command which would pass each of the revision
candidates through "rev-parse --verify --quiet". That would cut down
on our false positives (e.g. we'll link to "deadbeef"), and also allow
us to be more aggressive in selecting candidate revisions.
That may be too expensive to work in practice, or it may
not. Investigating that would be a good follow-up to this patch.

The "highlight" binary can, in some cases, determine the language type
by the means of file contents, for example the shebang in the first line
for some scripting languages. Make use of this autodetection for files
which syntax is not known by gitweb. In that case, pass the blob
contents to "highlight --force"; the parameter is needed to make it
always generate HTML output (which includes HTML-escaping).
Although we now run highlight on files which do not end up highlighted,
performance is virtually unaffected because when we call highlight, it
is used for escaping HTML. In the case that highlight is used, gitweb
calls sanitize() instead of esc_html(), and the latter is significantly
slower (it does more, being roughly a superset of sanitize()). Simple
benchmark comparing performance of 'blob' view of files without syntax
highlighting in gitweb before and after this change indicates ±1%
difference in request time for all file types. Benchmark was performed
on local instance on Debian, using Apache/2.4.23 web server and CGI.
Document the feature and improve syntax highlight documentation, add
test to ensure gitweb doesn't crash when language detection is used.
