53602a937d fsck: actually detect bad file modes in trees
We use the normal tree_desc code to iterate over trees in fsck, meaning
we only see the canonicalized modes it returns. And hence we'd never see
anything unexpected, since it will coerce literally any garbage into one
of our normal and accepted modes.

We can use the new RAW_MODES flag to see the real modes, and then use
the existing code to actually analyze them. The existing code is written
as allow-known-good, so there's not much point in testing a variety of
breakages. The one tested here should be S_IFREG but with nonsense
permissions.

Do note that the error-reporting here isn't great. We don't mention the
specific bad mode, but just that the tree has one or more broken modes.
But when you go to look at it with "git ls-tree", we'll report the
canonicalized mode! This isn't ideal, but given that this should come up
rarely, and that any number of other tree corruptions might force you
into looking at the binary bytes via "cat-file", it's not the end of the
world. And it's something we can improve on top later if we choose.

ec18b10bf2 tree-walk: add a mechanism for getting non-canonicalized modes
When using init_tree_desc() and tree_entry() to iterate over a tree, we
always canonicalize the modes coming out of the tree. This is a good
thing to prevent bugs or oddities in normal code paths, but it's
counter-productive for tools like fsck that want to see the exact
contents.

We can address this by adding an option to avoid the extra
canonicalization. A few notes on the implementation:

  - I've attached the new option to the tree_desc struct itself. The
    actual code change is in decode_tree_entry(), which is in turn
    called by the public update_tree_entry(), tree_entry(), and
    init_tree_desc() functions, plus their "gently" counterparts.

    By letting it ride along in the struct, we can avoid changing the
    signature of those functions, which are called many times. Plus it's
    conceptually simpler: you really want a particular iteration of a
    tree to be "raw" or not, rather than individual calls.

  - We still have to set the new option somewhere. The struct is
    initialized by init_tree_desc(). I added the new flags field only to
    the "gently" version. That avoids disturbing the much more numerous
    non-gentle callers, and it makes sense that anybody being careful
    about looking at raw modes would also be careful about bogus trees
    (i.e., the caller will be something like fsck in the first place).

However, between this realloc() and the use we have a line that resets
the value of 'pos'. Thus, this error is incorrect. It is likely due to a
new version of the compiler on the CI machines.

Instead of waiting for a new compiler, create a new variable to avoid
this error.

acc5e287f2 git-cvsserver: clarify directory list
The documentation and error messages for git-cvsserver include some
references to a "whitelist" that is not otherwise included in the
documentation. When different parts of the documentation do not use
common language, this can lead to confusion as to how things are meant
to operate.

Further, the word "whitelist" has cultural implications that make its
use non-inclusive. Thankfully, we can remove it while increasing
clarity.

Update Documentation/git-cvsserver.txt in a similar way to the previous
change to Documentation/git-daemon.txt. The optional '<directory>...'
list can specify a list of allowed directories. We refer to that list
directly inside of the documentation for the GIT_CVSSERVER_ROOT
environment variable.

While modifying this documentation, update the environment variables to
use a list format. We use the modern way of tabbing the description of
each variable in this section. We do _not_ update the description of
'<directory>...' to use tabs this way since the rest of the items in the
OPTIONS list do not use this modern formatting.

A single error message in the actual git-cvsserver.perl code refers to
the whitelist during argument parsing. Instead, refer to the directory
list that has been clarified in the documentation.

dee8a1455c daemon: clarify directory arguments
The undecorated arguments to the 'git-daemon' command provide a list of
directories. When at least one directory is specified, then 'git-daemon'
only serves requests that are within that directory list. The boolean
'--strict-paths' option makes the list more explicit in that
subdirectories are no longer included.

The existing documentation and error messages around this directory list
refer to it and its behavior as a "whitelist". The word "whitelist" has
cultural implications that are not inclusive.  Thankfully, it is not
difficult to reword and avoid its use. In the process, we can define the
purpose of this directory list directly.

In Documentation/git-daemon.txt, rewrite the OPTIONS section around the
'<directory>' option. Add additional clarity to the other options that
refer to these directories.

Some error messages can also be improved in daemon.c. The
'--strict-paths' option requires '<directory>' arguments, so refer to
that section of the documentation directly. A logerror() call points out
that a requested directory is not in the specified directory list. We
can use "list" here without any loss of information.

The first section of 'Documentation/technical/index-format.txt'
mentions that "Git currently supports cache tree and resolve undo
extensions", but then goes on, and in the "Extensions" section
describes not only these two, but six other extensions [1].

Remove this sentence, as it's misleading about the status of all those
other extensions.

Alternatively we could keep that sentence and update the list of
extensions, but that might well lead to a recurring issue, because
apparently this list is never updated when a new index extension is
added.

'include', 'includeIf', and 'include.add' expressions.
This effect is tested by two new ad-hoc tests.
Variable completion only works for "include" for now.

ae25974de3 mingw: avoid mktemp() in mkstemp() implementation
The implementation of mkstemp() for MinGW uses mktemp() and open()
without the flag O_EXCL, which is racy.  It's not a security problem
for now because all of its callers only create files within the
repository (incl. worktrees).  Replace it with a call to our more
secure internal function, git_mkstemp_mode(), to prevent possible
future issues.

df534dcbaa shortlog: use a stable sort
When sorting the output of `git shortlog` by count, a list of authors in
alphabetical order is then sorted by contribution count. Obviously, the
idea is to maintain the alphabetical order for items with identical
contribution count.

At the moment, this job is performed by `qsort()`. As that function is
not guaranteed to implement a stable sort algorithm, this can lead to
inconsistent and/or surprising behavior: items with identical
contribution count could lose their alphabetical sub-order.

The `qsort()` in MS Visual C's runtime does _not_ implement a stable
sort algorithm, and under certain circumstances this even causes a test
failure in t4201.21 "shortlog can match multiple groups", where two
authors both are listed with 2 contributions, and are listed in inverse
alphabetical order.

Let's instead use the stable sort provided by `git_stable_qsort()` to
avoid this inconsistency.

This is a companion to 2049b8dc65 (diffcore_rename(): use a stable sort,
2019-09-30).

ccc7b5148b mergetool(vimdiff): allow paths to contain spaces again
In 0041797449 (vimdiff: new implementation with layout support,
2022-03-30), we introduced a completely new implementation of the
`vimdiff` backend for `git mergetool`.

In this implementation, we no longer call `vim` directly but we
accumulate in the variable `FINAL_CMD` an arbitrary number of commands
for `vim` to execute, which necessitates the use of `eval` to split the
commands properly into multiple command-line arguments.

That same `eval` command also needs to pass the paths to `vim`, and
while it looks as if they are quoted correctly, that quoting only
reaches the `eval` instruction and is lost after that, therefore paths
that contain whitespace characters (or other characters that are
interpreted by the POSIX shell) are handled incorrectly.

This is a simple reproducer:

	git init -b main bam-merge-fail
	cd bam-merge-fail
	echo a>"a file.txt"
	git add "a file.txt"
	git commit -m "added 'a file.txt'"
	echo b>"a file.txt"
	git add "a file.txt"
	git commit -m "diverged b 'a file.txt'"
	git checkout -b c HEAD~
	echo c>"a file.txt"
	git add "a file.txt"
	git commit -m "diverged c 'a file.txt'"
	git checkout main
	git merge c
	git mergetool --tool=vimdiff

With Git v2.37.0/v2.37.1, this will open 7 buffers, not four, and not
display the correct contents at all.

To fix this, let's not expand the variables containing the path
parameters before passing them to the `eval` command, but let that
command expand the variables instead.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3945

7253f7ca9f tests: fix incorrect --write-junit-xml code
In 78d5e4cfb4 (tests: refactor --write-junit-xml code, 2022-05-21),
this developer refactored the `--write-junit-xml` code a bit, including
the part where the current test case's title was used in a `set`
invocation, but failed to account for the fact that some test cases'
titles start with a long option, which the `set` misinterprets as being
intended for parsing.

Let's fix this by using the `set -- <...>` form.

04393ae7f7 diff-files: move misplaced cleanup label
Commit 0139c58ab9 (revisions API users: add "goto cleanup" for
release_revisions(), 2022-04-13) converted an early return in
cmd_diff_files() into a goto. But it put the cleanup label too early: if
read_cache_preload() returns an error, we'll set result to "-1", but
then jump to calling run_diff_files(), overwriting our result.

We should jump past the call to run_diff_files(). Likewise, we should go
past diff_result_code(), which is expecting to see a code from an actual
diff, not a negative error code.

In practice, I suspect this bug cannot actually be triggered, because
read_cache_preload() does not seem to ever return an error. Its return
value (eventually) comes from do_read_index(), which gives the number of
cache entries found, and calls die() on error. Still, it makes sense to
fix the inadvertent change from 0139c58ab9 first, and we can look into
the overall error handling of read_cache() separately (which is present
in many other callsites).

daf7898abb clone: move unborn head creation to update_head()
Prior to 4f37d45706 (clone: respect remote unborn HEAD, 2021-02-05),
creation of the local HEAD was always done in update_head(). That commit
added code to handle an unborn head in an empty repository, and just did
all symref creation and config setup there.

This makes the code flow a little bit confusing, especially as new
corner cases have been covered (like the previous commit to match our
default branch name to a non-HEAD remote branch).

Let's move the creation of the unborn symref into update_head(). This
matches the other HEAD-creation cases, and now the logic is consistently
separated: the main cmd_clone() function only examines the situation and
sets variables based on what it finds, and update_head() actually
performs the update.
