Git reads multiple configuration files: settings come first from the
system config file (typically /etc/gitconfig), then the xdg config
file (typically ~/.config/git/config), then the user's dotfile
(~/.gitconfig), then the repository configuration (.git/config).
Git has always used access(2) to decide whether to use each file; as
an unfortunate side effect, that means that if one of these files is
unreadable (e.g., EPERM or EIO), git skips it. So if I use
~/.gitconfig to override some settings but make a mistake and give it
the wrong permissions then I am subject to the settings the sysadmin
chose for /etc/gitconfig.
Better to error out and ask the user to correct the problem.
This only affects the user and xdg config files, since the user
presumably has enough access to fix their permissions. If the system
config file is unreadable, the best we can do is to warn about it so
the user knows to notify someone and get on with work in the meantime.

The access_or_warn() function is used to check for optional
configuration files like .gitconfig and .gitignore and warn when they
are not accessible due to a configuration issue (e.g., bad
permissions). It is not supposed to complain when a file is simply
missing.
Noticed on a system where ~/.config/git was a file --- when the new
XDG_CONFIG_HOME support looks for ~/.config/git/config it should
ignore ~/.config/git instead of printing irritating warnings:
$ git status -s
warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory
warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory
warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory
warning: unable to access '/home/jrn/.config/git/config': Not a directory

Often we consult an in-tree .gitattributes file that exists per
directory. Majority of directories do not usually have such a file,
and it is perfectly fine if we cannot open it because there is no
such file, but we do want to know when there is an I/O or permission
error. Earlier, we made the codepath warn when we fail to open it
for reasons other than ENOENT for that reason.
We however sometimes have to attempt to open the .gitattributes file
from a directory that does not exist in the commit that is currently
checked out. "git pack-objects" wants to know if a path is marked
with "-delta" attributes, and "git archive" wants to know about
export-ignore and export-subst attributes. Both commands may and do
need to ask the attributes system about paths in an arbitrary
commit. "git diff", after removing an entire directory, may want to
know textconv on paths that used to be in that directory.
Make sure we also ignore a failure to open per-directory attributes
file due to ENOTDIR.

The previous series introduced warnings to multiple places, but it
could become tiring to see the warning on the same path over and
over again during a single run of Git. Making just one function
responsible for issuing this warning, we could later choose to keep
track of which paths we issued a warning (it would involve a hash
table of paths after running them through real_path() or something)
in order to reduce noise.
Right now we do not know if the noise reduction is necessary, but it
still would be a good code reduction/sharing anyway.

Just like config and gitignore files, we silently ignore

let's warn the user.

When we try to access gitignore files, we check for their
existence with a call to "access". We silently ignore
missing files. However, if a file is not readable, this may
be a configuration error; let's warn the user.
For $GIT_DIR/info/excludes or core.excludesfile, we can just
use access_or_warn. However, for per-directory files we
actually try to open them, so we must add a custom warning.

Before reading a config file, we check "!access(path, R_OK)"
to make sure that the file exists and is readable. If it's
not, then we silently ignore it.
For the case of ENOENT, this is fine, as the presence of the
file is optional. For other cases, though, it may indicate a
configuration error (e.g., not having permissions to read
the file). Let's print a warning in these cases to let the
user know.

Since v1.7.0-rc2~11 (git-svn: persistent memoization, 2010-01-30),
git-svn has maintained some private per-repository caches in
.git/svn/.caches to avoid refetching and recalculating some
mergeinfo-related information with every 'git svn fetch'.
This memoization can cause problems, e.g consider the following case:
SVN repo:
... - a - b - c - m <- trunk
\ /
d - e <- branch1
The Git import of the above repo is at commit 'a' and doesn't know about
the branch1. In case of an 'git svn rebase', only the trunk of the
SVN repo is imported. During the creation of the git commit 'm', git svn
uses the svn:mergeinfo property and tries to find the corresponding git
commit 'e' to create 'm' with 'c' and 'e' as parents. But git svn rebase
only imports the current branch so commit 'e' is not imported.
Therefore git svn fails to create commit 'm' as a merge commit, because one
of its parents is not known to git. The imported history looks like this:
... - a - b - c - m <- trunk
A later 'git svn fetch' to import all branches can't rewrite the commit 'm'
to add 'e' as a parent and to make it a real git merge commit, because it
was already imported.
That's why the imported history misses the merge and looks like this:
... - a - b - c - m <- trunk
\
d - e <- branch1
Right now the only known workaround for importing 'm' as a merge is to
force reimporting 'm' again from SVN, e.g. via
$ git svn reset --revision $(git find-rev $c)
$ git svn fetch
Sadly, this is where the behavior has regressed: git svn reset doesn't
invalidate the old mergeinfo cache, which is no longer valid for the
reimport, which leads to 'm' beeing imprted with only 'c' as parent.
As solution to this problem, this commit invalidates the mergeinfo cache
to force correct recalculation of the parents.
During development of this patch, several ways for invalidating the cache
where considered. One of them is to use Memoize::flush_cache, which will
call the CLEAR method on the underlying Memoize persistency implementation.
Sadly, neither Memoize::Storable nor the newer Memoize::YAML module
introduced in 68f532f4ba could optionally be used implement the
CLEAR method, so this is not an option.
Reseting the internal hash used to store the memoized values has the same
problem, because it calls the non-existing CLEAR method of the
underlying persistency layer, too.
Considering this and taking into account the different implementations
of the memoization modules, where Memoize::Storable is not in our control,
implementing the missing CLEAR method is not an option, at least not if
Memoize::Storable is still used.
Therefore the easiest solution to clear the cache is to delete the files
on disk in 'git svn reset'. Normally, deleting the files behind the back
of the memoization module would be problematic, because the in-memory
representation would still exist and contain wrong data. Fortunately, the
memoization is active in memory only for a small portion of the code.
Invalidating the cache by deleting the files on disk if it isn't active
should be safe.

dcommit didn't handle errors returned by SVN and coped very
poorly with concurrent commits that appear in SVN repository
while dcommit was running. In both cases it left git repository
in inconsistent state: index (which was reset with `git reset
--mixed' after a successful commit to SVN) no longer matched the
checkouted tree, when the following commit failed or needed to be
rebased. See http://bugs.debian.org/676904 for examples.
This patch fixes the issues by:
- introducing error handler for dcommit. The handler will try
to rebase or reset working tree before returning error to the
end user. dcommit_rebase function was extracted out of cmd_dcommit
to ensure consistency between cmd_dcommit and the error handler.
- calling `git reset --mixed' only once after all patches are
successfully committed to SVN. This ensures index is not touched
for most of the time of dcommit run.

When a stdio stream is opened in update mode (e.g., "w+"),
the C standard forbids switching between reading or writing
without an intervening positioning function. Many
implementations are lenient about this, but Solaris libc
will flush the recently-read contents to the output buffer.
In this instance, that meant writing the non-echoed password
that the user just typed to the terminal.
Fix it by inserting a no-op fseek between the read and
write.
The opposite direction (writing followed by reading) is also
disallowed, but our intervening fflush is an acceptable
positioning function for that alternative.
