Junio C Hamano 6789275d37 tests: teach callers of test_i18ngrep to use test_grep
They are equivalents and the former still exists, so as long as the
only change this commit makes are to rewrite test_i18ngrep to
test_grep, there won't be any new bug, even if there still are
callers of test_i18ngrep remaining in the tree, or when merged to
other topics that add new uses of test_i18ngrep.

This patch was produced more or less with

    git grep -l -e 'test_i18ngrep ' 't/t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh' |
    xargs perl -p -i -e 's/test_i18ngrep /test_grep /'

and a good way to sanity check the result yourself is to run the
above in a checkout of c4603c1c (test framework: further deprecate
test_i18ngrep, 2023-10-31) and compare the resulting working tree
contents with the result of applying this patch to the same commit.
You'll see that test_i18ngrep in a few t/lib-*.sh files corrected,
in addition to the manual reproduction.

Johannes Schindelin 06d531486e t[01]*: adjust the references to the default branch name "main"
Carefully excluding t1309, which sees independent development elsewhere
at the time of writing, we transition above-mentioned tests to the
default branch name `main`. This trick was performed via

	$ (cd t &&
	   sed -i -e 's/master/main/g' -e 's/MASTER/MAIN/g' \
		-e 's/Master/Main/g' -e 's/naster/nain/g' -- t[01]*.sh &&
	   git checkout HEAD -- t1309\*)

Note that t5533 contains a variation of the name `master` (`naster`)
that we rename here, too.

This allows us to define `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=main`
for those tests.

Johannes Schindelin 334afbc76f tests: mark tests relying on the current default for init.defaultBranch
In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.

To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in

- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,

- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
  initialize the default branch,

- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,

- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
  uses `master`)

This trick was performed by this command:

	$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
	GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
	export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
	' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
	t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh

After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:

	$ git checkout HEAD -- \
		t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \
		t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \
		t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \

		t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \
		t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:

	$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
	GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
	export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
	' t/t980[0167]*.sh t/t9811*.sh

Jeff King 3a1f91cfd9 rev-parse: handle --end-of-options
We taught rev-list a new way to separate options from revisions in
19e8789b23 (revision: allow --end-of-options to end option parsing,
2019-08-06), but rev-parse uses its own parser. It should know about
--end-of-options not only for consistency, but because it may be
presented with similarly ambiguous cases. E.g., if a caller does:

  git rev-parse "$rev" -- "$path"

to parse an untrusted input, then it will get confused if $rev contains
an option-like string like "--local-env-vars". Or even "--not-real",
which we'd keep as an option to pass along to rev-list.

Or even more importantly:

  git rev-parse --verify "$rev"

can be confused by options, even though its purpose is safely parsing
untrusted input. On the plus side, it will always fail the --verify
part, as it will not have parsed a revision, so the caller will
generally "fail closed" rather than continue to use the untrusted
string. But it will still trigger whatever option was in "$rev"; this
should be mostly harmless, since rev-parse options are all read-only,
but I didn't carefully audit all paths.

This patch lets callers write:

  git rev-parse --end-of-options "$rev" -- "$path"

and:

  git rev-parse --verify --end-of-options "$rev"

which will both treat "$rev" always as a revision parameter. The latter
is a bit clunky. It would be nicer if we had defined "--verify" to
require that its next argument be the revision. But we have not
historically done so, and:

  git rev-parse --verify -q "$rev"

does currently work. I added a test here to confirm that we didn't break
that.

A few implementation notes:

 - We don't document --end-of-options explicitly in commands, but rather
   in gitcli(7). So I didn't give it its own section in git-rev-parse(1).
   But I did call it out specifically in the --verify section, and
   include it in the examples, which should show best practices.

 - We don't have to re-indent the main option-parsing block, because we
   can combine our "did we see end of options" check with "does it start
   with a dash". The exception is the pre-setup options, which need
   their own block.

 - We do however have to pull the "--" parsing out of the "does it start
   with dash" block, because we want to parse it even if we've seen
   --end-of-options.

 - We'll leave "--end-of-options" in the output. This is probably not
   technically necessary, as a careful caller will do:

     git rev-parse --end-of-options $revs -- $paths

   and anything in $revs will be resolved to an object id. However, it
   does help a slightly less careful caller like:

     git rev-parse --end-of-options $revs_or_paths

   where a path "--foo" will remain in the output as long as it also
   exists on disk. In that case, it's helpful to retain --end-of-options
   to get passed along to rev-list, s it would otherwise see just
   "--foo".

Jeff King e05e2ae8fe rev-parse: don't accept options after dashdash
Because of the order in which we check options in rev-parse, there are a
few options we accept even after a "--". This is wrong, because the
whole point of "--" is to say "everything after here is a path". Let's
move the "did we see a dashdash" check (it's called "as_is" in the code)
to the top of the parsing loop.

Note there is one subtlety here. The options are ordered so that some
are checked before we even see if we're in a repository (they continue
the loop, and if we get past a certain point, then we do the repository
setup). By moving the as_is check higher, it's also in that "before
setup" section, even though it might look at the repository via
verify_filename(). However, this works out: we'd never set as_is until
we parse "--", and we don't parse that until after doing the setup.

An alternative here to avoid the subtlety is to put the as_is check at
the top of the post-setup options. But then every pre-setup option would
have to remember to check "if (!as_is && !strcmp(...))". So while this
is a bit magical, it's harder for future code to get wrong.

Junio C Hamano 9f0be82123 t1506: rev-parse A..B and A...B
Because these constructs can be used to parse user input to be
passed to rev-list --objects, e.g.

	range=$(git rev-parse v1.0..v2.0) &&
	git rev-list --objects $range | git pack-objects --stdin

the endpoints (v1.0 and v2.0 in the example) are shown without
peeling them to underlying commits, even when they are annotated
tags.  Make sure it stays that way.

While at it, ensure "rev-parse A...B" also keeps the endpoints A and
B unpeeled, even though the negative side (i.e. the merge-base
between A and B) has to become a commit.

Jeff King b0418303b1 sha1-name: mark get_oid() error messages for translation
There are several error messages in get_oid() and its children that are
clearly intended for humans, but aren't marked for translation. E.g.:

  $ git show :1:foo
  fatal: Path 'foo' is in the index, but not at stage 1.
  Did you mean ':0:foo'?

Let's mark these for translation. While we're at it, let's switch the
style to be more like our usual error messages: start with a lowercase
letter and omit a period at the end of the line.

This does mean that multi-line messages like the one above don't have
any punctuation between the two sentences. I solved that by adding a
"hint" marker like we'd see from advise(). So the result is:

  $ git show :1:foo
  fatal: path 'foo' is in the index, but not at stage 1
  hint: Did you mean ':0:foo'?

A few tests had to be switched to test_i18ngrep and test_i18ncmp. Since
we were touching them anyway, I also simplified the ones using i18ngrep
a bit for readability.

Jeff King 39e21c6ef5 verify_filename(): handle backslashes in "wildcards are pathspecs" rule
Commit 28fcc0b71a (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is
used, 2015-05-02) allowed:

  git rev-parse '*.c'

without the double-dash. But the rule it uses to check for wildcards
actually looks for any glob special. This is overly liberal, as it means
that a pattern that doesn't actually do any wildcard matching, like
"a\b", will be considered a pathspec.

If you do have such a file on disk, that's presumably what you wanted.
But if you don't, the results are confusing: rather than say "there's no
such path a\b", we'll quietly accept it as a pathspec which very likely
matches nothing (or at least not what you intended). Likewise, looking
for path "a\*b" doesn't expand the search at all; it would only find a
single entry, "a*b".

This commit switches the rule to trigger only when glob metacharacters
would expand the search, meaning both of those cases will now report an
error (you can still disambiguate using "--", of course; we're just
tightening the DWIM heuristic).

Note that we didn't test the original feature in 28fcc0b71a at all. So
this patch not only tests for these corner cases, but also adds a
regression test for the existing behavior.

Jeff King 46c3cd44d7 setup: make startup_info available everywhere
Commit a60645f (setup: remember whether repository was
found, 2010-08-05) introduced the startup_info structure,
which records some parts of the setup_git_directory()
process (notably, whether we actually found a repository or
not).

One of the uses of this data is for functions to behave
appropriately based on whether we are in a repo. But the
startup_info struct is just a pointer to storage provided by
the main program, and the only program that sets it up is
the git.c wrapper. Thus builtins have access to
startup_info, but externally linked programs do not.

Worse, library code which is accessible from both has to be
careful about accessing startup_info. This can be used to
trigger a die("BUG") via get_sha1():

	$ git fast-import <<-\EOF
	tag foo
	from HEAD:./whatever
	EOF

	fatal: BUG: startup_info struct is not initialized.

Obviously that's fairly nonsensical input to feed to
fast-import, but we should never hit a die("BUG"). And there
may be other ways to trigger it if other non-builtins
resolve sha1s.

So let's point the storage for startup_info to a static
variable in setup.c, making it available to all users of the
library code. We _could_ turn startup_info into a regular
extern struct, but doing so would mean tweaking all of the
existing use sites. So let's leave the pointer indirection
in place.  We can, however, drop any checks for NULL, as
they will always be false (and likewise, we can drop the
test covering this case, which was a rather artificial
situation using one of the test-* programs).

Jeff King 1418567381 rev-parse: correctly diagnose revision errors before "--"
Rev-parse understands that a "--" may separate revisions and
filenames, and that anything after the "--" is taken as-is.
However, it does not understand that anything before the
token must be a revision (which is the usual rule
implemented by the setup_revisions parser).

Since rev-parse prefers revisions to files when parsing
before the "--", we end up with the correct result (if such
an argument is a revision, we parse it as one, and if it is
not, it is an error either way).  However, we misdiagnose
the errors:

  $ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null
  fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
  Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
  'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

  $ >foobar
  $ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null
  fatal: bad flag '--' used after filename

In both cases, we should know that the real error is that
"foobar" is meant to be a revision, but could not be
resolved.

Surely we could say "git log ../" or even "git log -- .." to disambiguate,
but we shouldn't have to.

Matthieu Moy 023e37c377 verify_filename(): ask the caller to chose the kind of diagnosis
verify_filename() can be called in two different contexts. Either we
just tried to interpret a string as an object name, and it fails, so
we try looking for a working tree file (i.e. we finished looking at
revs that come earlier on the command line, and the next argument
must be a pathname), or we _know_ that we are looking for a
pathname, and shouldn't even try interpreting the string as an
object name.

For example, with this change, we get:

  $ git log COPYING HEAD:inexistant
  fatal: HEAD:inexistant: no such path in the working tree.
  Use '-- <path>...' to specify paths that do not exist locally.
  $ git log HEAD:inexistant
  fatal: Path 'inexistant' does not exist in 'HEAD'

Matthieu Moy d7236c4395 sha1_name: do not trigger detailed diagnosis for file arguments
diagnose_invalid_sha1_path() is meant to be called to diagnose a
misspelt <treeish>:<pathname> when <pathname> does not exist in
<treeish>.  However, the code may call it if <treeish>:<pathname> is
invalid (which triggers another call with only_to_die == 1), but for
another reason. This happens when calling e.g.

  git log existing-file HEAD:existing-file

because existing-file is a path and not a revision, the code
verifies that the arguments that follow to be paths.  This leads to
an incorrect message like "existing-file does not exist in HEAD",
even though the path exists in HEAD.

Check that the search for <pathname> in <treeish> fails before
triggering the diagnosis.

Junio C Hamano 365c2aaafc t1507: avoid "${parameter<op>'word'}" inside double-quotes
Kacper Kornet noticed that a $variable in "word" in the above construct is
not substituted by his pdksh.  Modern POSIX compliant shells (e.g. dash,
ksh, bash) all seem to interpret POSIX "2.6.2 Parameter Expansion" that
says "word shall be subjected to tilde expansion, parameter expansion,
command substitution, and arithmetic expansion" in ${parameter<op>word},
to mean that the word is expanded as if it appeared in dq pairs, so if the
word were "'$variable'" (sans dq) it would expand to a single quote, the
value of the $variable and then a single quote.

Johannes Sixt reports that the behavior of quoting at the right of :- when
the ${...:-...} expansion appears in double-quotes was debated recently at
length at the Austin group.  We can avoid this issue and future-proof the
test by a slight rewrite.

Junio C Hamano 3d6e0f745e get_sha1: teach ":$n:<path>" the same relative path logic
We taught the object name parser to take ":./<path>", ":../<path>", etc.
and understand them to be relative to the current working directory.

Given that ":<path>" is just a short-hand for ":0:<path>" (i.e. "take
stage #0 of that path"), we should allow ":$n:<path>" to interpret them
the same way.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 979f792951 get_sha1: support relative path ":path" syntax
Currently :path and ref:path can be used to refer to a specific object
in index or ref respectively. "path" component is absolute path. This
patch allows "path" to be written as "./path" or "../path", which is
relative to user's original cwd.

This does not work in commands for which startup_info is NULL
(i.e. non-builtin ones, it seems none of them needs this anyway).

Jon Seymour 9c46c054ae rev-parse: tests git rev-parse --verify master@{n}, for various n
This commit introduces tests that verify that rev-parse
parses master@{n} correctly for various values of n less
than, equal to and greater than the number of revisions
in the reference log.

In particular, these tests check that rev-parse exits with a
non-zero status code and prints a message of the
following form to stderr.

    fatal: Log for [^ ]* only has [0-9][0-9]* entries.

Matthieu Moy 009fee4774 Detailed diagnosis when parsing an object name fails.
The previous error message was the same in many situations (unknown
revision or path not in the working tree). We try to help the user as
much as possible to understand the error, especially with the
sha1:filename notation. In this case, we say whether the sha1 or the
filename is problematic, and diagnose the confusion between
relative-to-root and relative-to-$PWD confusion precisely.

The 7 new error messages are tested.
