cbe43b8473 path.c: optimize adjust_shared_perm()
Sometimes the chown() function is called even when not needed (This
can be provoked by running t1301, and adding some debug code).

Save a chmod from 400 to 400, or from 600 to 600 on these files:

 .git/info/refs+
 .git/objects/info/packs+

Save chmod on directories from 2770 to 2770:

 .git/refs
 .git/refs/heads
 .git/refs/tags

3a429d3b8d path.c: simplify adjust_shared_perm()
All calls to set_shared_perm() use mode == 0, so simplify the
function.

Because all callers use the macro adjust_shared_perm(path) from
cache.h to call this function, convert it to a proper function,
losing set_shared_perm().

Since path.c has much more functions than just mkpath() these days,
drop the stale comment about it.

0117c2f043 Make core.sharedRepository work under cygwin 1.7
When core.sharedRepository is used, set_shared_perm() in path.c
needs lstat() to return the correct POSIX permissions.

The default for cygwin is core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks = false, which
means that the fast implementation in do_stat() is used instead of
lstat().

lstat() under cygwin uses the Windows security model to implement
POSIX-like permissions.  The user, group or everyone bits can be set
individually.

do_stat() simplifes the file permission bits, and may return a wrong
value.  The read-only attribute of a file is used to calculate the
permissions, resulting in either rw-r--r-- or r--r--r--

One effect of the simplified do_stat() is that t1301 fails.

Add a function cygwin_get_st_mode_bits() which returns the POSIX
permissions.  When not compiling for cygwin, true_mode_bits() in
path.c is used.

Side note:

t1301 passes under cygwin 1.5.

The "user write" bit is synchronized with the "read only" attribute
of a file:

    $ chmod 444 x
    $ attrib x
    A    R     C:\temp\pt\x

    cygwin 1.7 would show
    A          C:\temp\pt\x

9e2326c7e1 longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized
Move the responsibility for normalizing prefixes from
longest_ancestor_length() to its callers. Use slightly different
normalizations at the two callers:

In setup_git_directory_gently_1(), use the old normalization, which
ignores paths that are not usable.  In the next commit we will change
this caller to also resolve symlinks in the paths from
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES as part of the normalization.

In "test-path-utils longest_ancestor_length", use the old
normalization, but die() if any paths are unusable.  Also change t0060
to only pass normalized paths to the test program (no empty entries or
non-absolute paths, strip trailing slashes from the paths, and remove
tests that thereby become redundant).

The point of this change is to reduce the scope of the ancestor_length
tests in t0060 from testing normalization+longest_prefix to testing
only mostly longest_prefix.  This is necessary because when
setup_git_directory_gently_1() starts resolving symlinks as part of
its normalization, it will not be reasonable to do the same in the
test suite, because that would make the test results depend on the
contents of the root directory of the filesystem on which the test is
run.  HOWEVER: under Windows, bash mangles arguments that look like
absolute POSIX paths into DOS paths.  So we have to retain the level
of normalization done by normalize_path_copy() to convert the
bash-mangled DOS paths (which contain backslashes) into paths that use
forward slashes.

5c44252e13 path.c: Use vsnpath() in the implementation of git_path()
The current implementation of git_path() is essentially the same as
that of vsnpath(), with two minor differences. First, git_path()
currently insists that the git directory path is no longer than
PATH_MAX-100 characters in length. However, vsnpath() does not
attempt this arbitrary 100 character reservation for the remaining
path components. Second, vsnpath() uses the "is_dir_sep()" macro,
rather than comparing directly to '/', to determine if the git_dir
path component ends with a path separator.

In order to benefit from the above improvements, along with increased
compatability with git_snpath() and git_pathdup(), we reimplement the
git_path() function using vsnpath().

66a51a9aae path.c: Don't discard the return value of vsnpath()
The git_snpath() and git_pathdup() functions both use the (static)
function vsnpath() in their implementation. Also, they both discard
the return value of vsnpath(), which has the effect of ignoring the
side effect of calling cleanup_path() in the non-error return path.

In order to ensure that the required cleanup happens, we use the
pointer returned by vsnpath(), rather than the buffer passed into
vsnpath(), to derive the return value from git_snpath() and
git_pathdup().

21cf322791 config: read (but not write) from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file
Teach git to read the "gitconfig" information from a new location,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config; this allows the user to avoid
cluttering $HOME with many per-application configuration files.

In the order of reading, this file comes between the global
configuration file (typically $HOME/.gitconfig) and the system wide
configuration file (typically /etc/gitconfig).

We do not write to this new location (yet).

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used. This is in line with XDG specification.

If the new file does not exist, the behavior is unchanged.

b3256eb8b3 standardize and improve lookup rules for external local repos
When you specify a local repository on the command line of
clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive,
or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of
lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for
.git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos.

For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For
everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases,
there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't
handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the
same by both methods.

This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible
lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are:

  1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred
     a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the
     bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over
     "foo.git". With this patch, we do so.

  2. We would select directories that existed but didn't
     actually look like git repositories. With this patch,
     we make sure a selected directory looks like a git
     repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it
     will help anybody who is negatively affected by change
     (1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its
     separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding
     "foo.git" when they reference "foo").

  3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for
     "foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even
     for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did
     not; with this patch, they now behave the same.

In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare
repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we
continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the
"inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the
combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with
existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying
on it.

The enter_repo() function is used to navigate into a .git
directory.  It knows how to find standard alternatives (DWIM) but
it doesn't handle gitfiles created by git init --separate-git-dir.
This means that git-fetch and others do not work with repositories
using the separate-git-dir mechanism.

Teach enter_repo() to deal with the gitfile mechanism by resolving
the path to the redirected path and continuing tests on that path
instead of the found file.

33f239365c path helpers: move git_mkstemp* to wrapper.c
git_mkstemp_mode and related functions do not require access to
specialized git machinery, unlike some other functions from
path.c (like set_shared_perm()).  Move them to wrapper.c where
the wrapper xmkstemp_mode is defined.

This eliminates a dependency of wrapper.o on environment.o via
path.o.  With typical linkers (e.g., gcc), that dependency makes
programs that use functions from wrapper.o and not environment.o
or path.o larger than they need to be.

distinguish e.g. permanent failure from ENOENT, which can just mean that

717c3972da setenv(GIT_DIR) clean-up
This patch converts the setenv() calls in path.c and setup.c.  After
the call, git grep with a pager works again in bare repos.

It leaves the setenv(GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT, ...) calls in git.c alone, as
they respond to command line switches that emulate the effect of setting
the environment variable directly.

The remaining site in environment.c is in set_git_dir() and is left
alone, too, of course.  Finally, builtin-init-db.c is left changed
because the repo is still being carefully constructed when the
environment variable is set.

This fixes git shortlog when run inside a git directory, which had been

34b6cb8bb0 http-backend: Protect GIT_PROJECT_ROOT from /../ requests
Eons ago HPA taught git-daemon how to protect itself from /../
attacks, which Junio brought back into service in d79374c7b5
("daemon.c and path.enter_repo(): revamp path validation").

I did not carry this into git-http-backend as originally we relied
only upon PATH_TRANSLATED, and assumed the HTTP server had done
its access control checks to validate the resolved path was within
a directory permitting access from the remote client.  This would
usually be sufficient to protect a server from requests for its
/etc/passwd file by http://host/smart/../etc/passwd sorts of URLs.

However in 917adc0360 Mark Lodato added GIT_PROJECT_ROOT as an
additional method of configuring the CGI.  When this environment
variable is used the web server does not generate the final access
path and therefore may blindly pass through "/../etc/passwd"
in PATH_INFO under the assumption that "/../" might have special
meaning to the invoked CGI.

Instead of permitting these sorts of malformed path requests, we
now reject them back at the client, with an error message for the
server log.  This matches git-daemon behavior.

to find what the result of applying user's umask is, and then tweaks it

however, the mode thusly obtained does not have anything to do with user's
umask, and we would need to start from 0444 in such a case and there is no
point running lstat(2) for such a path.

This introduces a new API set_shared_perm() to bypass the lstat(2) and
instead force setting the mode bits to the desired value directly.

   "OR" in 0660) and 0660 (which is to "SET" to 0660);

 - git-init did not set shared_repository variable early enough to affect
   the initial creation of many files, notably copied templates and the
   configuration.  We set it very early when a command-line option
   specifies a custom value.

 - Many codepaths create files inside $GIT_DIR by various ways that all
   involve mkstemp(), and then call move_temp_to_file() to rename it to
   its final destination.  We can add adjust_shared_perm() call here; for
   the traditional "loosen-only", this would be a no-op for many codepaths
   because the mode is already loose enough, but with the new behaviour it
   makes a difference.

4fcc86b07d Introduce the function strip_path_suffix()
The function strip_path_suffix() will try to strip a given suffix from
a given path.  The suffix must start at a directory boundary (i.e. "core"
is not a path suffix of "libexec/git-core", but "git-core" is).

Arbitrary runs of directory separators ("slashes") are assumed identical.

Example:

	strip_path_suffix("C:\\msysgit/\\libexec\\git-core",
		"libexec///git-core", &prefix)

will set prefix to "C:\\msysgit" and return 0.

f42302b493 Test and fix normalize_path_copy()
This changes the test-path-utils utility to invoke normalize_path_copy()
instead of normalize_absolute_path() because the latter is about to be
removed.

The test cases in t0060 are adjusted in two regards:

- normalize_path_copy() more often leaves a trailing slash in the result.
  This has no negative side effects because the new user of this function,
  longest_ancester_length(), already accounts for this behavior.

- The function can fail.

The tests uncover a flaw in normalize_path_copy(): If there are
sufficiently many '..' path components so that the root is reached, such as
in "/d1/s1/../../d2", then the leading slash was lost. This manifested
itself that (assuming there is a repository at /tmp/foo)

  $ git add /d1/../tmp/foo/some-file

reported 'pathspec is outside repository'. This is now fixed.

Moreover, the test case descriptions of t0060 now include the test data and
expected outcome.

43a7ddb55d Fix GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES on Windows
Using git with GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES crashed on Windows due to a failed
assertion in normalize_absolute_path(): This function expects absolute
paths to start with a slash, while on Windows they can start with a drive
letter or a backslash.

This fixes it by using the alternative, normalize_path_copy() instead,
which can handle Windows-style paths just fine.

Secondly, the portability macro PATH_SEP is used instead of expecting
colons to be used as path list delimiter.

The test script t1504 is also changed to help MSYS's bash recognize some
program arguments as path list. (MSYS's bash must translate POSIX-style
path lists to Windows-style path lists, and the heuristic did not catch
some cases.)

f3cad0ad82 Move sanitary_path_copy() to path.c and rename it to normalize_path_copy()
This function and normalize_absolute_path() do almost the same thing. The
former already works on Windows, but the latter crashes.

In subsequent changes we will remove normalize_absolute_path(). Here we
make the replacement function reusable. On the way we rename it to reflect
that it does some path normalization. Apart from that this is only moving
around code.

b229d18a80 validate_headref: tighten ref-matching to just branches
When we are trying to determine whether a directory contains
a git repository, one of the tests we do is to check whether
HEAD is either a symlink or a symref into the "refs/"
hierarchy, or a detached HEAD.

We can tighten this a little more, though: a non-detached
HEAD should always point to a branch (since checking out
anything else should result in detachment), so it is safe to
check for "refs/heads/".

1442171bc9 fix overlapping memcpy in normalize_absolute_path
The comments for normalize_absolute_path explicitly claim
that the source and destination buffers may be the same
(though they may not otherwise overlap). Thus the call to
memcpy may involve copying overlapping data, and memmove
should be used instead.

This fixes a valgrind error in t1504.
