This is the "theoretically more correct" approach of simply

b521fd1228 tag: respect color.ui config
Since 11b087adfd (ref-filter: consult want_color() before
emitting colors, 2017-07-13), we expect that setting
"color.ui" to "always" will enable color tag formats even
without a tty.  As that commit was built on top of
136c8c8b8f (color: check color.ui in git_default_config(),
2017-07-13) from the same series, we didn't need to touch
tag's config parsing at all.

However, since we reverted 136c8c8b8f, we now need to
explicitly call git_color_default_config() to make this
work.

Let's do so, and also restore the test dropped in 0c88bf5050
(provide --color option for all ref-filter users,
2017-10-03). That commit swapped out our "color.ui=always"
test for "--color" in preparation for "always" going away.
But since it is here to stay, we should test both cases.

Note that for-each-ref also lost its color.ui support as
part of reverting 136c8c8b8f. But as a plumbing command, it
should _not_ respect the color.ui config. Since it also
gained a --color option in 0c88bf5050, that's the correct
way to ask it for color. We'll continue to test that, and
confirm that "color.ui" is not respected.

33c643bb08 Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()"
This reverts commit 136c8c8b8f.

That commit was trying to address a bug caused by 4c7f1819b3
(make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), in which
plumbing like diff-tree defaulted to "auto" color, but did
not respect a "color.ui" directive to disable it.

But it also meant that we started respecting "color.ui" set
to "always". This was a known problem, but 4c7f1819b3 argued
that nobody ought to be doing that. However, that turned out
to be wrong, and we got a number of bug reports related to
"add -p" regressing in v2.14.2.

Let's revert 136c8c8b8, fixing the regression to "add -p".
This leaves the problem from 4c7f1819b3 unfixed, but:

  1. It's a pretty obscure problem in the first place. I
     only noticed it while working on the color code, and we
     haven't got a single bug report or complaint about it.

  2. We can make a more moderate fix on top by respecting
     "never" but not "always" for plumbing commands. This
     is just the minimal fix to go back to the working state
     we had before v2.14.2.

Note that this isn't a pure revert. We now have a test in
t3701 which shows off the "add -p" regression. This can be
flipped to success.

a92b1095d1 merge-ours: do not use cmd_*() as a subroutine
The call to cmd_diff_index() "git merge-ours" makes has been working
by accident that the function did not call exit(3), and the caller
exited almost immediately after making a call, but it sets a bad
precedent for people to cut and paste.

For finding out if the index exactly matches the HEAD (or a given
tree-ish), there is index_differs_from() which is exactly written
for that purpose.

be26d2b29b describe: do not use cmd_*() as a subroutine
The cmd_foo() function is a moral equivalent of 'main' for a Git
subcommand 'git foo', and as such, it is allowed to do many things
that make it unsuitable to be called as a subroutine, including

 - call exit(3) to terminate the process;

 - allocate resource held and used throughout its lifetime, without
   releasing it upon return/exit;

 - rely on global variables being initialized at program startup,
   and update them as needed, making another clean invocation of the
   function impossible.

The call to cmd_diff_index() "git describe" makes has been working
by accident that the function did not call exit(3); it sets a bad
precedent for people to cut and paste.

We could invoke it via the run_command() interface, but the diff
family of commands have helper functions in diff-lib.c that are
meant to be usable as subroutines, and using the latter does not
make the resulting code all that longer.  Use it.

Note that there is also an invocation of cmd_name_rev() at the end;
"git describe --contains" massages its command line arguments to be
suitable for "git name-rev" invocation and jumps to it, never to
regain control.  This call is left as-is as an exception to the
rule.  When we start to allow calling name-rev repeatedly as a
helper function, we would be able to remove this call as well.

19716b21a4 cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary search
A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible
integer overflow by using the simple average:

	mid = (min + max) / 2;

Instead, use the overflow-safe version:

	mid = min + (max - min) / 2;

This translation is safe since the operation occurs inside a loop
conditioned on "min < max". The included changes were found using
the following git grep:

	git grep '/ *2;' '*.c'

Making this cleanup will prevent future review friction when a new
binary search is contructed based on existing code.

df60cf5789 read-cache: leave lock in right state in write_locked_index()
If the original version of `write_locked_index()` returned with an
error, it didn't roll back the lockfile unless the error occured at the
very end, during closing/committing. See commit 03b866477 (read-cache:
new API write_locked_index instead of write_index/write_cache,
2014-06-13).

In commit 9f41c7a6b (read-cache: close index.lock in do_write_index,
2017-04-26), we learned to close the lock slightly earlier in the
callstack. That was mostly a side-effect of lockfiles being implemented
using temporary files, but didn't cause any real harm.

Recently, commit 076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap,
2017-09-05) introduced a subtle bug. If the temporary file is deleted
(i.e., the lockfile is rolled back), the tempfile-pointer in the `struct
lock_file` will be left dangling. Thus, an attempt to reuse the
lockfile, or even just to roll it back, will induce undefined behavior
-- most likely a crash.

Besides not crashing, we clearly want to make things consistent. The
guarantees which the lockfile-machinery itself provides is A) if we ask
to commit and it fails, roll back, and B) if we ask to close and it
fails, do _not_ roll back. Let's do the same for consistency.

Do not delete the temporary file in `do_write_index()`. One of its
callers, `write_locked_index()` will thereby avoid rolling back the
lock. The other caller, `write_shared_index()`, will delete its
temporary file anyway. Both of these callers will avoid undefined
behavior (crashing).

Teach `write_locked_index(..., COMMIT_LOCK)` to roll back the lock
before returning. If we have already succeeded and committed, it will be
a noop. Simplify the existing callers where we now have a superfluous
call to `rollback_lockfile()`. That should keep future readers from
wondering why the callers are inconsistent.

812d6b0075 read-cache: drop explicit CLOSE_LOCK-flag
`write_locked_index()` takes two flags: `COMMIT_LOCK` and `CLOSE_LOCK`.
At most one is allowed. But it is also possible to use no flag, i.e.,
`0`. But when `write_locked_index()` calls `do_write_index()`, the
temporary file, a.k.a. the lockfile, will be closed. So passing `0` is
effectively the same as `CLOSE_LOCK`, which seems like a bug.

We might feel tempted to restructure the code in order to close the file
later, or conditionally. It also feels a bit unfortunate that we simply
"happen" to close the lock by way of an implementation detail of
lockfiles. But note that we need to close the temporary file before
`stat`-ing it, at least on Windows. See 9f41c7a6b (read-cache: close
index.lock in do_write_index, 2017-04-26).

Drop `CLOSE_LOCK` and make it explicit that `write_locked_index()`
always closes the lock. Whether it is also committed is governed by the
remaining flag, `COMMIT_LOCK`.

This means we neither have nor suggest that we have a mode to write the
index and leave the file open. Whatever extra contents we might
eventually want to write, we should probably write it from within
`write_locked_index()` itself anyway.

6d058c8826 apply: move lockfile into apply_state
We have two users of `struct apply_state` and the related functionality
in apply.c. Each user sets up its `apply_state` by handing over a
pointer to its static `lock_file`. (Before 076aa2cbd (tempfile:
auto-allocate tempfiles on heap, 2017-09-05), we could never free
lockfiles, so making them static was a reasonable approach.)

Other than that, they never directly access their `lock_file`s, which
are instead handled by the functionality in apply.c.

To make life easier for the caller and to make it less tempting for a
future caller to mess with the lock, make apply.c fully responsible for
setting up the `lock_file`. As mentioned above, it is now safe to free a
`lock_file`, so we can make the `struct apply_state` contain an actual
`struct lock_file` instead of a pointer to one.

The user in builtin/apply.c is rather simple. For builtin/am.c, we might
worry that the lock state is actually meant to be inherited across
calls. But the lock is only taken as `apply_all_patches()` executes, and
code inspection shows that it will always be released.

Alternatively, we can observe that the lock itself is never queried
directly. When we decide whether we should lock, we check a related
variable `newfd`. That variable is not inherited, so from the point of
view of apply.c, the state machine really is reset with each call to
`init_apply_state()`. (It would be a bug if `newfd` and the lock status
were not in sync. The duplication of information in `newfd` and the lock
will be addressed in the next patch.)

02ae242fdd checkout-index: simplify locking logic
`newfd` starts out negative. If we then take the lock, `newfd` will
become non-negative. We later check for exactly that property before
calling `write_locked_index()`. That is, we are simply using `newfd` as
a boolean to keep track of whether we took the lock or not. (We always
use `newfd` and `lock_file` together, so they really are mirroring each
other.)

Drop `newfd` and check with `is_lock_file_locked()` instead. While at
it, move the `static struct lock_file` into `cmd_checkout_index()` and
make it non-static. It is only used in this function, and after
076aa2cbd (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap, 2017-09-05), we
can have lockfiles on the stack.

837e34eba4 treewide: prefer lockfiles on the stack
There is no longer any need to allocate and leak a `struct lock_file`.
The previous patch addressed an instance where we needed a minor tweak
alongside the trivial changes.

Deal with the remaining instances where we allocate and leak a struct
within a single function. Change them to have the `struct lock_file` on
the stack instead.

These instances were identified by running `git grep "^\s*struct
lock_file\s*\*"`.

a9155c50bd branch: reset instead of release a strbuf
Our documentation advises to not re-use a strbuf, after strbuf_release
has been called on it. Use the proper reset instead.

Currently 'strbuf_release' releases and re-initializes the strbuf, so it
is safe, but slow. 'strbuf_reset' only resets the internal length variable,
such that this could also be accounted for as a micro-optimization.

0c88bf5050 provide --color option for all ref-filter users
When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd
(ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors,
2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off
and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so
with --color/--no-color.

But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of
ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the
"color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands
the usual color command-line options.

This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the
config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always"
changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing
color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

27344d6a6c git: add --no-optional-locks option
Some tools like IDEs or fancy editors may periodically run
commands like "git status" in the background to keep track
of the state of the repository. Some of these commands may
refresh the index and write out the result in an
opportunistic way: if they can get the index lock, then they
update the on-disk index with any updates they find. And if
not, then their in-core refresh is lost and just has to be
recomputed by the next caller.

But taking the index lock may conflict with other operations
in the repository. Especially ones that the user is doing
themselves, which _aren't_ opportunistic. In other words,
"git status" knows how to back off when somebody else is
holding the lock, but other commands don't know that status
would be happy to drop the lock if somebody else wanted it.

There are a couple possible solutions:

  1. Have some kind of "pseudo-lock" that allows other
     commands to tell status that they want the lock.

     This is likely to be complicated and error-prone to
     implement (and maybe even impossible with just
     dotlocks to work from, as it requires some
     inter-process communication).

  2. Avoid background runs of commands like "git status"
     that want to do opportunistic updates, preferring
     instead plumbing like diff-files, etc.

     This is awkward for a couple of reasons. One is that
     "status --porcelain" reports a lot more about the
     repository state than is available from individual
     plumbing commands. And two is that we actually _do_
     want to see the refreshed index. We just don't want to
     take a lock or write out the result. Whereas commands
     like diff-files expect us to refresh the index
     separately and write it to disk so that they can depend
     on the result. But that write is exactly what we're
     trying to avoid.

  3. Ask "status" not to lock or write the index.

     This is easy to implement. The big downside is that any
     work done in refreshing the index for such a call is
     lost when the process exits. So a background process
     may end up re-hashing a changed file multiple times
     until the user runs a command that does an index
     refresh themselves.

This patch implements the option 3. The idea (and the test)
is largely stolen from a Git for Windows patch by Johannes
Schindelin, 67e5ce7f63 (status: offer *not* to lock the
index and update it, 2016-08-12). The twist here is that
instead of making this an option to "git status", it becomes
a "git" option and matching environment variable.

The reason there is two-fold:

  1. An environment variable is carried through to
     sub-processes. And whether an invocation is a
     background process or not should apply to the whole
     process tree. So you could do "git --no-optional-locks
     foo", and if "foo" is a script or alias that calls
     "status", you'll still get the effect.

  2. There may be other programs that want the same
     treatment.

     I've punted here on finding more callers to convert,
     since "status" is the obvious one to call as a repeated
     background job. But "git diff"'s opportunistic refresh
     of the index may be a good candidate.

The test is taken from 67e5ce7f63, and it's worth repeating
Johannes's explanation:

  Note that the regression test added in this commit does
  not *really* verify that no index.lock file was written;
  that test is not possible in a portable way. Instead, we
  verify that .git/index is rewritten *only* when `git
  status` is run without `--no-optional-locks`.

8a1a8d2ad1 worktree: check the result of read_in_full()
We try to read "len" bytes into a buffer and just assume
that it happened correctly. In practice this should usually
be the case, since we just stat'd the file to get the
length.  But we could be fooled by transient errors or by
other processes racily truncating the file.

Let's be more careful. There's a slim chance this could
catch a real error, but it also prevents people and tools
from getting worried while reading the code.

228740b67b worktree: use xsize_t to access file size
To read the "gitdir" file into memory, we stat the file and
allocate a buffer. But we store the size in an "int", which
may be truncated. We should use a size_t and xsize_t(),
which will detect truncation.

An overflow is unlikely for a "gitdir" file, but it's a good
practice to model.

41dcc4dccc distinguish error versus short read from read_in_full()
Many callers of read_in_full() expect to see the exact
number of bytes requested, but their error handling lumps
together true read errors and short reads due to unexpected
EOF.

We can give more specific error messages by separating these
cases (showing errno when appropriate, and otherwise
describing the short read).

61d36330b4 prefer "!=" when checking read_in_full() result
Comparing the result of read_in_full() using less-than is
potentially dangerous, as a negative return value may be
converted to an unsigned type and be considered a success.
This is discussed further in 561598cfcf (read_pack_header:
handle signed/unsigned comparison in read result,
2017-09-13).

Each of these instances is actually fine in practice:

 - in get-tar-commit-id, the HEADERSIZE macro expands to a
   signed integer. If it were switched to an unsigned type
   (e.g., a size_t), then it would be a bug.

 - the other two callers check for a short read only after
   handling a negative return separately. This is a fine
   practice, but we'd prefer to model "!=" as a general
   rule.

So all of these cases can be considered cleanups and not
actual bugfixes.
