If the signature file cannot be read we print an error message but do
not return an error to the caller. In practice it seems unlikely that
the file would be unreadable if the call to ssh-keygen succeeds.
The unlink_or_warn() call is moved to the end of the function so that
we always try and remove the signature file. This isn't strictly
necessary at the moment but it protects us against any extra code
being added between trying to read the signature file and the cleanup
at the end of the function in the future. unlink_or_warn() only prints
a warning if it exists and cannot be removed.

As we parse the author-script file, we check for missing or duplicate
lines for GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, etc. But after reading the whole file, our
final error conditional checks "date_i" twice and "name_i" not at all.
This not only leads to us failing to abort, but we may do an
out-of-bounds read on the string_list array.
The bug goes back to 442c36bd08 (am: improve author-script error
reporting, 2018-10-31), though the code was soon after moved to this
spot by bcd33ec25f (add read_author_script() to libgit, 2018-10-31).
It was presumably just a typo in 442c36bd08.
We'll add test coverage for all the error cases here, though only the
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME ones fail (even in a vanilla build they segfault
consistently, but certainly with SANITIZE=address).

To remove bracketed strings containing "PATCH" from the subject line
cleanup_subject() scans the subject for the opening bracket using an
offset from the beginning of the line. It then searches for the
closing bracket with strchr(). To calculate the length of the
bracketed string it unfortunately adds rather than subtracts the
offset from the result of strchr(). This leads to an out of bounds
access in memmem() when looking to see if the brackets contain
"PATCH".
We have tests that trigger this bug that were added in ae52d57f0b
(t5100: add some more mailinfo tests, 2017-05-31). The commit message
mentions that they are marked test_expect_failure as they trigger an
assertion in strbuf_splice(). While it is reassuring that
strbuf_splice() detects the problem and dies in retrospect that should
perhaps have warranted a little more investigation. The bug was
introduced by 17635fc900 (mailinfo: -b option keeps [bracketed]
strings that is not a [PATCH] marker, 2009-07-15). I think the reason
it has survived so long is that '-b' is not a popular option and
without it the offset is always zero.
This was found by the address sanitizer while I was cleaning up the
test_todo idea in [1].

In the tmp-objdir api, tmp_objdir_create will create a temporary
directory but also register signal handlers responsible for removing
the directory's contents and the directory itself. However, the
function responsible for recursively removing the contents and
directory, remove_dir_recurse() calls opendir(3) and closedir(3).
This can be problematic because these functions allocate and free
memory, which are not async-signal-safe functions. This can lead to
deadlocks.
One place we call tmp_objdir_create() is in git-receive-pack, where
we create a temporary quarantine directory "incoming". Incoming
objects will be written to this directory before they get moved to
the object directory.
We have observed this code leading to a deadlock:

Since we can't do the cleanup in a portable and signal-safe way, skip
the cleanup when we're handling a signal.
This means that when signal handling, the temporary directory may not
get cleaned up properly. This is mitigated by b3cecf49ea (tmp-objdir: new
API for creating temporary writable databases, 2021-12-06) which changed
the default name and allows gc to clean up these temporary directories.
In the event of a normal exit, we should still be cleaning up via the

Imagine running "git branch --edit-description" while on a branch
without the branch description, and then exit the editor after
emptying the edit buffer, which is the way to tell the command that
you changed your mind and you do not want the description after all.
The command should just happily oblige, adding no branch description
for the current branch, and exit successfully. But it fails to do
so:
$ git init -b main
$ git commit --allow-empty -m commit
$ GIT_EDITOR=: git branch --edit-description
fatal: could not unset 'branch.main.description'
The end result is OK in that the configuration variable does not
exist in the resulting repository, but we should do better. If we
know we didn't have a description, and if we are asked not to have a
description by the editor, we can just return doing nothing.
This of course introduces TOCTOU. If you add a branch description
to the same branch from another window, while you had the editor
open to edit the description, and then exit the editor without
writing anything there, we'd end up not removing the description you
added in the other window. But you are fooling yourself in your own
repository at that point, and if it hurts, you'd be better off not
doing so ;-).

The process for reading the index into memory from disk is to first read its
contents into a single memory-mapped file buffer (type 'char *'), then
sequentially convert each on-disk index entry into a corresponding incore
'cache_entry'. To access the contents of the on-disk entry for processing, a
moving pointer within the memory-mapped file is cast to type 'struct
ondisk_cache_entry *'.
In index v4, the entries in the on-disk index file are written *without*
aligning their first byte to a 4-byte boundary; entries are a variable
length (depending on the entry name and whether or not extended flags are
used). As a result, casting the 'char *' buffer pointer to 'struct
ondisk_cache_entry *' then accessing its contents in a 'SANITIZE=undefined'
build can trigger the following error:
read-cache.c:1886:46: runtime error: member access within misaligned
address <address> for type 'struct ondisk_cache_entry', which requires 4
byte alignment
Avoid this error by reading fields directly from the 'char *' buffer, using
the 'offsetof' individual fields in 'struct ondisk_cache_entry'.
Additionally, add documentation describing why the new approach avoids the
misaligned address error, as well as advice on how to improve the
implementation in the future.

In the previous commit, we fixed a segmentation fault when a tree object
could not be written.
However, before the tree object is written, `merge-ort` wants to write
out a blob object (except in cases where the merge results in a blob
that already exists in the database). And this can fail, too, but we
ignore that write failure so far.
Let's pay close attention and error out early if the blob could not be
written. This reduces the error output of t4301.25 ("merge-ort fails
gracefully in a read-only repository") from:
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
error: error: Unable to add numbers to database
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
error: error: Unable to add greeting to database
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
fatal: failure to merge
to:
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects
error: error: Unable to add numbers to database
fatal: failure to merge
This is _not_ just a cosmetic change: Even though one might assume that
the operation would have failed anyway at the point when the new tree
object is written (and the corresponding tree object _will_ be new if it
contains a blob that is new), but that is not so: As pointed out by
Elijah Newren, when Git has previously been allowed to add loose objects
via `sudo` calls, it is very possible that the blob object cannot be
written (because the corresponding `.git/objects/??/` directory may be
owned by `root`) but the tree object can be written (because the
corresponding objects directory is owned by the current user). This
would result in a corrupt repository because it is missing the blob
object, and with this here patch we prevent that.
Note: This patch adjusts two variable declarations from `unsigned` to
`int` because their purpose is to hold the return value of
`handle_content_merge()`, which is of type `int`. The existing users of
those variables are only interested whether that variable is zero or
non-zero, therefore this type change does not affect the existing code.

The 'git maintenance [un]register' commands set or unset the multi-
valued maintenance.repo config key with the absolute path of the current
repository. These are set in the global config file.
Instead of calling a subcommand and creating a new process, create the
proper API calls to git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently(). It
requires loading the filename for the global config file (and erroring
out if now $HOME value is set). We also need to be careful about using
CONFIG_REGEX_NONE when adding the value and using
CONFIG_FLAGS_FIXED_VALUE when removing the value. In both cases, we
check that the value already exists (this check already existed for
'unregister').
Also, remove the transparent translation of the error code from the
config API to the exit code of 'git maintenance'. Instead, use die() to
recover from failures at that level. In the case of 'unregister
--force', allow the CONFIG_NOTHING_SET error code to be a success. This
allows a possible race where another process removes the config value.
The end result is that the config value is not set anymore, so we can
treat this as a success.

The 'scalar unregister' command removes a repository from the list of
registered Scalar repositories and removes it from the list of
repositories registered for background maintenance. If the repository
was not already registered for background maintenance, then the command
fails, even if the repository was still registered as a Scalar
repository.
After using 'scalar clone' or 'scalar register', the repository would be
enrolled in background maintenance since those commands run 'git
maintenance start'. If the user runs 'git maintenance unregister' on
that repository, then it is still in the list of repositories which get
new config updates from 'scalar reconfigure'. The 'scalar unregister'
command would fail since 'git maintenance unregister' would fail.
Further, the add_or_remove_enlistment() method in scalar.c already has
this idempotent nature built in as an expectation since it returns zero
when the scalar.repo list already has the proper containment of the
repository.
The previous change added the 'git maintenance unregister --force'

The 'git maintenance unregister' subcommand has a step that removes the

This fails if the repository is not listed in that key. This makes
running 'git maintenance unregister' twice result in a failure in the
second instance.
This failure exit code is helpful, but its message is not. Add a new
die() message that explicitly calls out the failure due to the
repository not being registered.
In some cases, users may want to run 'git maintenance unregister' just
to make sure that background jobs will not start on this repository, but
they do not want to check to see if it is registered first. Add a new
'--force' option that will siltently succeed if the repository is not
already registered.
Also add an extra test of 'git maintenance unregister' at a point where
there are no registered repositories. This should fail without --force.

The trace2 region around the call to lazy_bitmap_for_commit() in
bitmap_for_commit() was added in 28cd730680 (pack-bitmap: prepare to
read lookup table extension, 2022-08-14). While adding trace2 regions is
typically helpful for tracking performance, this method is called
possibly thousands of times as a commit walk explores commit history
looking for a matching bitmap. When trace2 output is enabled, this
region is emitted many times and performance is throttled by that
output.
For now, remove these regions entirely.
This is a critical path, and it would be valuable to measure that the
time spent in bitmap_for_commit() does not increase when using the
commit lookup table. The best way to do that would be to use a mechanism
that sums the time spent in a region and reports a single value at the
end of the process. This technique was introduced but not merged by [1]
so maybe this example presents some justification to revisit that
approach.

warns against adding a trace2 region. Delete a test from t5310 that used
that trace output to check that this lookup optimization was activated.
To create this kind of test again in the future, the stopwatch traces
mentioned earlier could be used as a signal that we activated this code
path.

subjects like "fixup! 7a235b" where 7a235b is an OID-prefix. It
actually did more than advertised: 7a235b can be an arbitrary
commit-ish (as long as it's not trailed by spaces).
Accidental(?) use of this secret feature revealed a bug where we
would silently drop a fixup commit. The bug can also be triggered
when using an OID-prefix but that's unlikely in practice.
Let the commit with subject "fixup! main" be the tip of the "main"
branch. When computing the fixup target for this commit, we find
the commit itself. This is wrong because, by definition, a fixup
target must be an earlier commit in the todo list. We wrongly find
the current commit because we added it to the todo list prematurely.
Avoid these fixup-cycles by only adding the current commit to the
todo list after we have finished looking for the fixup target.

Turn on sparse index and remove ensure_full_index().
Before this patch, `git-grep` utilizes the ensure_full_index() method to
expand the index and search all the entries. Because this method
requires walking all the trees and constructing the index, it is the
slow part within the whole command.
To achieve better performance, this patch uses grep_tree() to search the
sparse directory entries and get rid of the ensure_full_index() method.
Why grep_tree() is a better choice over ensure_full_index()?
1) grep_tree() is as correct as ensure_full_index(). grep_tree() looks
into every sparse-directory entry (represented by a tree) recursively
when looping over the index, and the result of doing so matches the
result of expanding the index.
2) grep_tree() utilizes pathspecs to limit the scope of searching.
ensure_full_index() always expands the index, which means it will
always walk all the trees and blobs in the repo without caring if
the user only wants a subset of the content, i.e. using a pathspec.
On the other hand, grep_tree() will only search the contents that
match the pathspec, and thus possibly walking fewer trees.
3) grep_tree() does not construct and copy back a new index, while
ensure_full_index() does. This also saves some time.
----------------
Performance test
- Summary:
p2000 tests demonstrate a ~71% execution time reduction for
`git grep --cached bogus -- "f2/f1/f1/*"` using tree-walking logic.
However, notice that this result varies depending on the pathspec
given. See below "Command used for testing" for more details.
Test HEAD~ HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------
2000.78: git grep ... (full-v3) 0.35 0.39 (≈)
2000.79: git grep ... (full-v4) 0.36 0.30 (≈)
2000.80: git grep ... (sparse-v3) 0.88 0.23 (-73.8%)
2000.81: git grep ... (sparse-v4) 0.83 0.26 (-68.6%)
- Command used for testing:
git grep --cached bogus -- "f2/f1/f1/*"
The reason for specifying a pathspec is that, if we don't specify a
pathspec, then grep_tree() will walk all the trees and blobs to find the
pattern, and the time consumed doing so is not too different from using
the original ensure_full_index() method, which also spends most of the
time walking trees. However, when a pathspec is specified, this latest
logic will only walk the area of trees enclosed by the pathspec, and the
time consumed is reasonably a lot less.
Generally speaking, because the performance gain is acheived by walking
less trees, which are specified by the pathspec, the HEAD time v.s.
HEAD~ time in sparse-v[3|4], should be proportional to
"pathspec enclosed area" v.s. "all area", respectively. Namely, the
wider the <pathspec> is encompassing, the less the performance
difference between HEAD~ and HEAD, and vice versa.
That is, if we don't specify a pathspec, the performance difference [1]
is indistinguishable: both methods walk all the trees and take generally
same amount of time (even with the index construction time included for
ensure_full_index()).
[1] Performance test result without pathspec (hence walking all trees):
