Since 650c44925 (common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path(),
2016-07-01), the argv[0] that is seen in cmd_main() of
individual programs is always the basename of the
executable, as common-main strips off the full path. This
can produce confusing results for git-daemon, which wants to
re-exec itself.
For instance, if the program was originally run as
"/usr/lib/git/git-daemon", it will try just re-execing
"git-daemon", which will find the first instance in $PATH.
If git's exec-path has not been prepended to $PATH, we may
find the git-daemon from a different version (or no
git-daemon at all).
Normally this isn't a problem. Git commands are run as "git
daemon", the git wrapper puts the exec-path at the front of
$PATH, and argv[0] is already "daemon" anyway. But running
git-daemon via its full exec-path, while not really a
recommended method, did work prior to 650c44925. Let's make
it work again.
The real goal of 650c44925 was not to munge argv[0], but to
reliably set the argv0_path global. The only reason it
munges at all is that one caller, the git.c wrapper,
piggy-backed on that computation to find the command
basename. Instead, let's leave argv[0] untouched in
common-main, and have git.c do its own basename computation.
While we're at it, let's drop the return value from
git_extract_argv0_path(). It was only ever used in this one
callsite, and its dual purposes is what led to this
confusion in the first place.
Note that by changing the interface, the compiler can
confirm for us that there are no other callers storing the
return value. But the compiler can't tell us whether any of
the cmd_main() functions (besides git.c) were relying on the
basename munging. However, we can observe that prior to
650c44925, no other cmd_main() functions did that munging,
and no new cmd_main() functions have been introduced since
then. So we can't be regressing any of those cases.

These functions transform an existing argv into one suitable
for exec-ing or spawning via git or a shell. We can use an
argv_array in each to avoid dealing with manual counting and
allocation.
This also makes the memory allocation more clear and fixes
some leaks. In prepare_shell_cmd, we would sometimes
allocate a new string with "$@" in it and sometimes not,
meaning the caller could not correctly free it. On the
non-Windows side, we are in a child process which will
exec() or exit() immediately, so the leak isn't a big deal.
On Windows, though, we use spawn() from the parent process,
and leak a string for each shell command we run. On top of
that, the Windows code did not free the allocated argv array
at all (but does for the prepare_git_cmd case!).
By switching both of these functions to write into an
argv_array, we can consistently free the result as
appropriate.

* jk/git-no-more-argv0-path-munging:
stop putting argv[0] dirname at front of PATH
When the "git" wrapper is invoked, we prepend the baked-in
exec-path to our PATH, so that any sub-processes we exec
will all find the git-foo commands that match the wrapper
version.
If you invoke git with an absolute path, like:
/usr/bin/git foo
we also prepend "/usr/bin" to the PATH. This was added long
ago by by 231af83 (Teach the "git" command to handle some
commands internally, 2006-02-26), with the intent that
things would just work if you did something like:
cd /opt
tar xzf premade-git-package.tar.gz
alias git=/opt/git/bin/git
as we would then find all of the related external commands
in /opt/git/bin. I.e., it made git runtime-relocatable,
since at the time of 231af83, we installed all of the git
commands into $(bindir). But these days, that is not enough.
Since f28ac70 (Move all dashed-form commands to libexecdir,
2007-11-28), we do not put commands into $(bindir), and you
actually need to convert "/usr/bin" into "/usr/libexec". And
not just for finding binaries; we want to find $(sharedir),
etc, the same way. The RUNTIME_PREFIX build knob does this
the right way, by assuming a sane hierarchy rooted at
"$prefix" when we run "$prefix/bin/git", and inferring
"$prefix/libexec/git-core", etc.
So this feature (prepending the argv[0] dirname to the PATH)
is broken for providing a runtime prefix, and has been for
many years. Does it do anything for other cases?
For the "git" wrapper itself, as well as any commands
shipped by "git", the answer is no. Those are already in
git's exec-path, which is consulted first. For third-party
commands which you've dropped into the same directory, it
does include them. So if you do
cd /opt
tar xzf git-built-specifically-for-opt-git.tar.gz
cp third-party/git-foo /opt/git/bin/git-foo
alias git=/opt/git/bin/git
it does mean that we will find the third-party "git-foo",
even if you do not put /opt/git/bin into your $PATH. But
the flipside of this is that we will bump the precedence of
_other_ third-party tools that happen to be in the same
directory as git. For example, consider this setup:
1. Git is installed by the system in /usr/bin. There are
other system utilities in /usr/bin. E.g., a system
"vi".
2. The user installs tools they prefer in /usr/local/bin.
E.g., vim with a "vi" symlink. They set their PATH to
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin to prefer their custom tools.
3. Running /usr/bin/git puts "/usr/bin" at the front of
their PATH. When git invokes the editor on behalf of
the user, they get the system vi, not their normal vim.
There are other variants of this, including overriding
system ruby and python (which is quite common using tools
like "rvm" and "virtualenv", which use relocatable
hierarchies and $PATH settings to get a consistent
environment).
Given that the main motivation for git placing the argv[0]
dirname into the PATH has been broken for years, that the
remaining cases are obscure and unlikely (and easily fixed
by the user just setting up their $PATH sanely), and that
the behavior is hurting real, reasonably common use cases,
it's not worth continuing to do so.

When execvp reports EACCES, it can be one of two things:
1. We found a file to execute, but did not have
permissions to do so.
2. We did not have permissions to look in some directory
in the $PATH.
In the former case, we want to consider this a
permissions problem and report it to the user as such (since
getting this for something like "git foo" is likely a
configuration error).
In the latter case, there is a good chance that the
inaccessible directory does not contain anything of
interest. Reporting "permission denied" is confusing to the
user (and prevents our usual "did you mean...?" lookup). It
also prevents git from trying alias lookup, since we do so
only when an external command does not exist (not when it
exists but has an error).
This patch detects EACCES from execvp, checks whether we are
in case (2), and if so converts errno to ENOENT. This
behavior matches that of "bash" (but not of simpler shells
that use execvp more directly, like "dash").

Let PATH0=$PATH that was set before the invocation.
Let /foo be a build directory.
Let /pfx be the installation prefix.
Let pfxexecpath=/pfx/libexec/git-core.
The following is going on when 'git --exec-path=/foo gc' is invoked:
1. git sets PATH=/foo:$PATH0 using the path from --exec-path
2. gc execs 'git repack' (note: no dash).
3. Since there is a git in /foo (it's a build directory), /foo/git is
taken.
4. No explicit exec-path is set this time, hence, this secondary git sets
PATH=$pfxexecpath:/foo:$PATH
5. Since 'repack' is not a built-in, execv_dashed_external execs
'git-repack' (note: dash).
6. There is a $pfxexecpath/git-repack, and it is taken.
7. This git-repack runs 'git pack-objects' (note: no dash).
8. There is no git in $pfxexecpath, but there is one in /foo. Hence,
/foo/git is run.
9. pack-objects is a builtin, hence, in effect /foo/git-pack-objects
is run.
As you can see, the way in which we previously set the PATH allowed to
mix gits of different vintage. By setting GIT_EXEC_PATH when --exec-path
was given on the command line, we reduce the confusion.

This commit adds support for relocatable binaries (called
RUNTIME_PREFIX). Such binaries can be moved together with the
system configuration files to a different directory, as long as the
relative paths from the binary to the configuration files is
preserved. This functionality is essential on Windows where we
deliver git binaries with an installer that allows to freely choose
the installation location.
If RUNTIME_PREFIX is unset we use the static prefix. This will be
the default on Unix. Thus, the behavior on Unix will remain
identical to the old implementation, which used to add the prefix
in the Makefile.
If RUNTIME_PREFIX is set the prefix is computed from the location
of the executable. In this case, system_path() tries to strip
known directories that executables can be located in from the path
of the executable. If the path is successfully stripped it is used
as the prefix. For example, if the executable is
"/msysgit/bin/git" and BINDIR is "bin", then the prefix computed is
"/msysgit".
If the runtime prefix computation fails, we fall back to the static
prefix specified in the makefile. This can be the case if the
executable is not installed at a known location. Note that our
test system sets GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM to tell git to ignore global
configuration files during testing. Hence testing does not trigger
the fall back.
Note that RUNTIME_PREFIX only works on Windows, though adding
support on Unix should not be too hard. The implementation
requires argv0_path to be set to an absolute path. argv0_path must
point to the directory of the executable. We use assert() to
verify this in debug builds. On Windows, the wrapper for main()
(see compat/mingw.h) guarantees that argv0_path is correctly
initialized. On Unix, further work is required before
RUNTIME_PREFIX can be enabled.

Searching git programs only in the highest priority location is
sufficient. It does not make sense that some of the required
programs are located at the highest priority location but other
programs are picked up from a lower priority exec-path. If
exec-path is overridden a complete set of commands should be
provided, otherwise several different versions could get mixed,
which is likely to cause confusion.
If a user explicitly overrides the default location (by --exec-path
or GIT_EXEC_PATH), we now expect that all the required programs are
found there. Instead of adding the directories "argv_exec_path",
"getenv(EXEC_PATH_ENVIRONMENT)", and "system_path(GIT_EXEC_PATH)"
to PATH, we now rely on git_exec_path(), which implements the same
order, but only returns the highest priority location to search for
executables.
Accessing only the location with highest priority is also required
for testing executables built with RUNTIME_PREFIX. The call to
system_path() should be avoided if RUNTIME_PREFIX is set and the
executable is not installed at its final destination. Because we
test before installing, we want to avoid calling system_path()
during tests. The modifications in this commit avoid calling
system_path(GIT_EXEC_PATH) if a higher-priority location is
provided, which is the case when running the tests.

Expanding system paths relative to git_exec_path can be used for

for such a setup.
This commit moves common code to a new function system_path(). System
paths that are to be interpreted relative to git_exec_path are passed to
system_path() and the return value is used instead of the original path.
system_path() prefixes a relative path with git_exec_path and leaves
absolute paths unmodified. For example, we now write
template_dir = system_path(DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR);

Now if GIT_TRACE is set to an integer value greater than 1
and lower than 10, we interpret this as an open fd value
and we trace into it. Note that this behavior is not
compatible with the previous one.
We also trace whole messages using one write(2) call to
make sure messages from processes do net get mixed up in
the middle.
It's now possible to run the tests like this:
GIT_TRACE=9 make test 9>/var/tmp/trace.log

so the result needs to be checked.]

- external command execution
on stderr.

Ignoring empty environment variables is good common practice.
Ignoring --exec-path with empty argument won't harm, too:
if user means current directory, there is a "--exec-path=."

Not sure whether it should be removed, or whether
execv_git_cmd() should return it rather than -1 at bottom.

Mark Wooding noticed there was a type mismatch warning in git.c; this
patch does things slightly differently (mostly tightening const) and
was what I was holding onto, waiting for the setup-revisions change
to be merged into the master branch.
