In a path-limited bisection, when the $bad commit is not
changing the limited path, and the number of suspects is 1, the
code miscounted and returned $bad from find_bisection(), which
is not marked with TREECHANGE. This is of course filtered by
the output routine, resulting in an empty output, in turn
causing git-bisect driver to say "$bad was both good and bad".
Illustration. Suppose you have these four commits, and only C
changes path P. You know D is bad and A is good.
A---B---C*--D
git-bisect driver runs this to find a bisection point:
$ git rev-list --bisect A..D -- P
which calls find_bisection() with B, C and D. The set of
commits that is given to this function is the same set of
commits as rev-list without --bisect option and pathspec
returns. Among them, only C is marked with TREECHANGE. Let's
call the set of commits given to find_bisection() that are
marked with TREECHANGE (or all of them if no path limiter is in
effect) "the bisect set". In the above example, the size of the
bisect set is 1 (contains only "C").
For each commit in its input, find_bisection() computes the
number of commits it can reach in the bisect set. For a commit
in the bisect set, this number includes itself, so the number is
1 or more. This number is called "depth", and computed by
count_distance() function.
When you have a bisect set of N commits, and a commit has depth
D, how good is your bisection if you returned that commit? How
good this bisection is can be measured by how many commits are
effectively tested "together" by testing one commit.
Currently you have (N-1) untested commits (the tip of the bisect
set, although it is included in the bisect set, is already known
to be bad). If the commit with depth D turns out to be bad,
then your next bisect set will have D commits and you will have
(D-1) untested commits left, which means you tested (N-1)-(D-1)
= (N-D) commits with this bisection. If it turns out to be good, then
your next bisect set will have (N-D) commits, and you will have
(N-D-1) untested commits left, which means you tested
(N-1)-(N-D-1) = D commits with this bisection.
Therefore, the goodness of this bisection is is min(N-D, D), and
find_bisection() function tries to find a commit that maximizes
this, by initializing "closest" variable to 0 and whenever a
commit with the goodness that is larger than the current
"closest" is found, that commit and its goodness are remembered
by updating "closest" variable. The "the commit with the best
goodness so far" is kept in "best" variable, and is initialized
to a commit that happens to be at the beginning of the list of
commits given to this function (which may or may not be in the
bisect set when path-limit is in use).
However, when N is 1, then the sole tree-changing commit has
depth of 1, and min(N-D, D) evaluates to 0. This is not larger
than the initial value of "closest", and the "so far the best
one" commit is never replaced in the loop.
When path-limit is not in use, this is not a problem, as any
commit in the input set is tree-changing. But when path-limit
is in use, and when the starting "bad" commit does not change
the specified path, it is not correct to return it.

When we write out the result of patch application, we sometimes
need to munge the data (e.g. under core.autocrlf). After doing
so, what we should free is the temporary buffer that holds the
converted data returned from convert_to_working_tree(), not the
original one.
This patch also moves the call to open() up in the function, as
the caller expects us to fail cheaply if leading directories
need to be created (and then the caller creates them and calls
us again). For that calling pattern, attempting conversion
before opening the file adds unnecessary overhead.

When you want to amend the commit message of 3 commits before
the tip of the current branch, say 'master',
A--B--C--D--E(master)
it is sometimes handy to make your head detached at that commit
with:
$ git checkout HEAD~3 ;# check out B
$ git commit --amend ;# without modifying contents...
to create:
.B'(HEAD)
/
A--B--C--D--E(master)
and then rebase 'master' branch onto HEAD with this:
$ git rebase HEAD master
to result in:
.B'-C'-D'-E(master=HEAD)
/
A--B--C--D--E
However, the current code interprets HEAD after it switches to
the branch 'master', which means the rebase will not do
anything. You have to say something unwieldly like this
instead:
$ git rebase $(git rev-parse HEAD) master
This fixes it by expanding the $onto commit name before
switching to the target branch.

In addition to optimizing pathspecs that would never match,

If we already know that some of the pathspecs can match later
entries in the tree we are looking at, we do not have to do more
expensive strncmp() upfront before comparing the length of the
match pattern and the path, as a path longer than the match
pattern will not match it, and a path shorter than the match
pattern will match only if the path is a directory-component
wise prefix of the match pattern.

This makes the tree descriptor contain a "struct name_entry" as part of
it, and it gets filled in so that it always contains a valid entry. On
some benchmarks, it improves performance by up to 15%.
That makes tree entry "extract" trivial, and means that we only actually
need to decode each tree entry just once: we decode the first one when
we initialize the tree descriptor, and each subsequent one when doing
"update_tree_entry()". In particular, this means that we don't need to
do strlen() both at extract time _and_ at update time.
Finally, it also allows more sharing of code (entry_extract(), that
wanted a "struct name_entry", just got totally trivial, along with the
"tree_entry()" function).

When creating a new object, we use "deflate(stream, Z_FINISH)" in a loop
until it no longer returns Z_OK, and then we do "deflateEnd()" to finish
up business.
That should all work, but the fact is, it's not how you're _supposed_ to
use the zlib return values properly:
- deflate() should never return Z_OK in the first place, except if we
need to increase the output buffer size (which we're not doing, and
should never need to do, since we pre-allocated a buffer that is
supposed to be able to hold the output in full). So the "while()" loop
was incorrect: Z_OK doesn't actually mean "ok, continue", it means "ok,
allocate more memory for me and continue"!
- if we got an error return, we would consider it to be end-of-stream,
but it could be some internal zlib error. In short, we should check
for Z_STREAM_END explicitly, since that's the only valid return value
anyway for the Z_FINISH case.
- we never checked deflateEnd() return codes at all.
Now, admittedly, none of these issues should ever happen, unless there is
some internal bug in zlib. So this patch should make zero difference, but
it seems to be the right thing to do.
We should probablybe anal and check the return value of "deflateInit()"
too!

Waaaaaaay back Git was considered to be secure as it never overwrote
an object it already had. This was ensured by always unpacking the
packfile received over the network (both in fetch and receive-pack)
and our already existing logic to not create a loose object for an
object we already have.
Lately however we keep "large-ish" packfiles on both fetch and push
by running them through index-pack instead of unpack-objects. This
would let an attacker perform a birthday attack.
How? Assume the attacker knows a SHA-1 that has two different
data streams. He knows the client is likely to have the "good"
one. So he sends the "evil" variant to the other end as part of
a "large-ish" packfile. The recipient keeps that packfile, and
indexes it. Now since this is a birthday attack there is a SHA-1
collision; two objects exist in the repository with the same SHA-1.
They have *very* different data streams. One of them is "evil".
Currently the poor recipient cannot tell the two objects apart,
short of by examining the timestamp of the packfiles. But lets
say the recipient repacks before he realizes he's been attacked.
We may wind up packing the "evil" version of the object, and deleting
the "good" one. This is made *even more likely* by Junio's recent
rearrange_packed_git patch (b867092f).
It is extremely unlikely for a SHA1 collisions to occur, but if it
ever happens with a remote (hence untrusted) object we simply must
not let the fetch succeed.
Normally received packs should not contain objects we already have.
But when they do we must ensure duplicated objects with the same SHA1
actually contain the same data.

The thing is, if the output buffer is empty, we should *still* actually
use the zlib routines to *unpack* that empty output buffer.
But we had a test that said "only unpack if we still expect more output".
So we wouldn't use up all the zlib stream, because we felt that we didn't
need it, because we already had all the bytes we wanted. And it was
"true": we did have all the output data. We just needed to also eat all
