The whitelist of git-daemon is checked against return value from
enter_repo(), and enter_repo() used to return the value obtained
from getcwd() to avoid directory aliasing issues as discussed
earier (mid October 2005).
Unfortunately, it did not go well as we hoped.
For example, /pub on a kernel.org public machine is a symlink to
its real mountpoint, and it is understandable that the
administrator does not want to adjust the whitelist every time
/pub needs to point at a different partition for storage
allcation or whatever reasons. Being able to keep using
/pub/scm as the whitelist is a desirable property.
So this version of enter_repo() reports what it used to chdir()
and validate, but does not use getcwd() to canonicalize the
directory name. When it sees a user relative path ~user/path,
it internally resolves it to try chdir() there, but it still
reports ~user/path (possibly after appending .git if allowed to
do so, in which case it would report ~user/path.git).
What this means is that if a whitelist wants to allow a user
relative path, it needs to say "~" (for all users) or list user
home directories like "~alice" "~bob". And no, you cannot say
/home if the advertised way to access user home directories are
~alice,~bob, etc. The whole point of this is to avoid
unnecessary aliasing issues.
Anyway, because of this, daemon needs to do a bit more work to
guard itself. Namely, it needs to make sure that the accessor
does not try to exploit its leading path match rule by inserting
/../ in the middle or hanging /.. at the end. I resurrected the
belts and suspender paranoia code HPA did for this purpose.
This check cannot be done in the enter_repo() unconditionally,
because there are valid callers of enter_repo() that want to
honor /../; authorized users coming over ssh to run send-pack
and fetch-pack should be allowed to do so.

After daemon, upload-pack and receive-pack find out where the
git directory is and chdir() there, make sure that repository is
in a format we understand, after putenv("GIT_DIR=.") so that it
knows to pick up the configuration file from there.

We wanted --strict to mean "do not DWIM", but the code required to
see absolute path. daemon does its own path verification and chdirs
to the verified repository, so enter_repo() called from upload-pack
will always enter ".". Requiring absolute path does not make any sense.

Make some functions static and convert func() function prototypes to to
func(void). Fix declaration after statement, missing declaration and
redundant declaration warnings.

This should force git-daemon administrator's job a bit harder
because the exact paths need to be given in the whitelist, but
at the same time makes the auditing easier.
This moves validate_symref() from refs.c to path.c, because we
need to link path.c with git-daemon for its "enter_repo()", but
we do not want to link the daemon with the rest of git libraries
and its requirements.

This patch provides the work-horse of the user-relative paths feature,
using Linus' idea of a blind chdir() and getcwd() which makes it
remarkably simple.

We have deprecated the old environment variable names for quite a
while and now it's time to remove them. Gone are:
SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_NAME
COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY

Omitting the first branch in ?: is a GNU extension. Cute,
but not supported by other compilers. Replaced mostly
by explicit tests. Calls to getenv() simply are repeated
on non-GNU compilers.
