Martin Ågren 7560f547e6 treewide: correct several "up-to-date" to "up to date"
Follow the Oxford style, which says to use "up-to-date" before the noun,
but "up to date" after it. Don't change plumbing (specifically
send-pack.c, but transport.c (git push) also has the same string).

This was produced by grepping for "up-to-date" and "up to date". It
turned out we only had to edit in one direction, removing the hyphens.

Fix a typo in Documentation/git-diff-index.txt while we're there.

Samuel Lijin fb89888849 dir: hide untracked contents of untracked dirs
When we taught read_directory_recursive() to recurse into untracked
directories in search of ignored files given DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO, that
had the side effect of teaching it to collect the untracked contents of
untracked directories. It doesn't always make sense to return these,
though (we do need them for `clean -d`), so we introduce a flag
(DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS) to control whether or not read_directory()
strips dir->entries of the untracked contents of untracked dirs.

We also introduce check_contains() to check if one dir_entry corresponds
to a path which contains the path corresponding to another dir_entry.

This also fixes known breakages in t7061, since status --ignored now
searches untracked directories for ignored files.

Jonathan Tan cbaf82cc6b receive-pack: verify push options in cert
In commit f6a4e61 ("push: accept push options", 2016-07-14), send-pack
was taught to include push options both within the signed cert (if the
push is a signed push) and outside the signed cert; however,
receive-pack ignores push options within the cert, only handling push
options outside the cert.

Teach receive-pack, in the case that push options are provided for a
signed push, to verify that the push options both within the cert and
outside the cert are consistent.

This sets in stone the requirement that send-pack redundantly send its
push options in 2 places, but I think that this is better than the
alternatives. Sending push options only within the cert is
backwards-incompatible with existing Git servers (which read push
options only from outside the cert), and sending push options only
outside the cert means that the push options are not signed for.

Johannes Schindelin dddbad728c timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps
Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).

So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.

By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.

As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

Jonathan Tan 8e2c7bef03 fetch-pack: show clearer error message upon ERR
Currently, fetch-pack prints a confusing error message ("expected
ACK/NAK") when the server it's communicating with sends a pkt-line
starting with "ERR".  Replace it with a less confusing error message.

Also update the documentation describing the fetch-pack/upload-pack
protocol (pack-protocol.txt) to indicate that "ERR" can be sent in the
place of "ACK" or "NAK". In practice, this has been done for quite some
time by other Git implementations (e.g. JGit sends "want $id not valid")
and by Git itself (since commit bdb31ea: "upload-pack: report "not our
ref" to client", 2017-02-23) whenever a "want" line references an object
that it does not have. (This is uncommon, but can happen if a repository
is garbage-collected during a negotiation.)

Thanks. Here it is rolled up with a commit message.

Subject: clear_delta_base_cache(): don't modify hashmap while iterating

Removing entries while iterating causes fast-import to
access an already-freed `struct packed_git`, leading to
various confusing errors.

What happens is that clear_delta_base_cache() drops the
whole contents of the cache by iterating over the hashmap,
calling release_delta_base_cache() on each entry. That
function removes the item from the hashmap. The hashmap code
may then shrink the table, but the hashmap_iter struct
retains an offset from the old table.

As a result, the next call to hashmap_iter_next() may claim
that the iteration is done, even though some items haven't
been visited.

The only caller of clear_delta_base_cache() is fast-import,
which wants to clear the cache because it is discarding the
packed_git struct for its temporary pack. So by failing to
remove all of the entries, we still have references to the
freed packed_git.

To make things even more confusing, this doesn't seem to
trigger with the test suite, because it depends on
complexities like the size of the hash table, which entries
got cleared, whether we try to access them before they're
evicted from the cache, etc.

So I've been able to identify the problem with large
imports like freebsd's svn import, or a fast-export of
linux.git. But nothing that would be reasonable to run as
part of the normal test suite.

We can fix this easily by iterating over the lru linked list
instead of the hashmap. They both contain the same entries,
and we can use the "safe" variant of the list iterator,
which exists for exactly this case.

Let's also add a warning to the hashmap API documentation to
reduce the chances of getting bit by this again.

Now that all callers of the old 'get_pathspec' interface have been
migrated to use the new pathspec struct interface it can be removed
from the codebase.

Since there are no more users of the '_raw' field in the pathspec struct
it can also be removed.  This patch also removes the old functionality
of modifying the const char **argv array that was passed into
parse_pathspec.  Instead the constructed 'match' string (which is a
pathspec element with the prefix prepended) is only stored in its
corresponding pathspec_item entry.

Stefan Beller 73c293bb6c submodule-config: rename commit_sha1 to treeish_name
It is also possible to pass in any treeish name to lookup a submodule
config. Make it clear by naming the variables accordingly. Looking up
a submodule config by tree hash will come in handy in a later patch.

Junio C Hamano a460ea4a3c Merge branch 'nd/shallow-deepen'
The existing "git fetch --depth=<n>" option was hard to use
correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone
deeper.  A new option, "--deepen=<n>", has been added to make this
easier to use.  "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=<date>"
and "--shallow-exclude=<tag>" options to make it easier to specify
"I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and
"Give me only the history since that version".

* nd/shallow-deepen: (27 commits)
  fetch, upload-pack: --deepen=N extends shallow boundary by N commits
  upload-pack: add get_reachable_list()
  upload-pack: split check_unreachable() in two, prep for get_reachable_list()

  fetch: define shallow boundary with --shallow-exclude
  upload-pack: support define shallow boundary by excluding revisions
  refs: add expand_ref()

  shallow.c: implement a generic shallow boundary finder based on rev-list
  fetch-pack: use a separate flag for fetch in deepening mode

Jeff King 16ddcd403b sha1_array: let callbacks interrupt iteration
The callbacks for iterating a sha1_array must have a void
return.  This is unlike our usual for_each semantics, where
a callback may interrupt iteration and have its value
propagated. Let's switch it to the usual form, which will
enable its use in more places (e.g., where we are replacing
an existing iteration with a different data structure).

Lars Schneider 7841c4801c pack-protocol: fix maximum pkt-line size
According to LARGE_PACKET_MAX in pkt-line.h the maximal length of a
pkt-line packet is 65520 bytes. The pkt-line header takes 4 bytes and
therefore the pkt-line data component must not exceed 65516 bytes.

Junio C Hamano 54ba5a1a16 hashmap: clarify that hashmap_entry can safely be discarded
The API documentation said that the hashmap_entry structure to be
embedded in the caller's structure is to be treated as opaque, which
left the reader wondering if it can safely be discarded when it no
longer is necessary.  If the hashmap_entry structure had references
to external resources such as allocated memory or an open file
descriptor, merely free(3)ing the containing structure (when the
caller's structure is on the heap) or letting it go out of scope
(when it is on the stack) would end up leaking the external
resource.

Document that there is no need for hashmap_entry_clear() that
corresponds to hashmap_entry_init() to give the API users a little
bit of peace of mind.

Stefan Beller 280abfd4f5 Documentation: pack-protocol correct NAK response
In the transport protocol we use NAK to signal the non existence of a
common base, so fix the documentation. This helps readers of the document,
as they don't have to wonder about the difference between NAK and NACK.
As NACK is used in git archive and upload-archive, this is easy to get
wrong.

Stefan Beller c714e45f87 receive-pack: implement advertising and receiving push options
The pre/post receive hook may be interested in more information from the
user. This information can be transmitted when both client and server
support the "push-options" capability, which when used is a phase directly
after update commands ended by a flush pkt.

Similar to the atomic option, the server capability can be disabled via
the `receive.advertisePushOptions` config variable. While documenting
this, fix a nit in the `receive.advertiseAtomic` wording.
