Junio C Hamano 099b74b4b2 Merge branch 'js/alias-case-sensitivity'
A recent update broke an alias that contained an uppercase letter.

Johannes Schindelin 643df7e234 alias: compare alias name *case-insensitively*
It is totally legitimate to add CamelCased aliases, but due to the way
config keys are compared, the case does not matter.

Therefore, we must compare the alias name insensitively to the config
keys.

This fixes a regression introduced by a9bcf6586d (alias: use
the early config machinery to expand aliases, 2017-06-14).

Johannes Schindelin e2e1425107 config: report correct line number upon error
When get_value() parses a key/value pair, it is possible that the line
number is decreased (because the \n has been consumed already) before the
key/value pair is passed to the callback function, to allow for the
correct line to be attributed in case of an error.

However, when git_parse_source() asks get_value() to parse the key/value
pair, the error reporting is performed *after* get_value() returns.

Which means that we have to be careful not to increase the line number
in get_value() after the callback function returned an error.

Jeff King 25cd291963 config: complain about --local outside of a git repo
The "--local" option instructs git-config to read or modify
the repository-level config. This doesn't make any sense if
you're not actually in a repository.

Older versions of Git would blindly try to read or write
".git/config". For reading, this would result in a quiet
failure, since there was no config to read (and thus no
matching config value). Writing would generally fail
noisily, since ".git" was unlikely to exist. But since
b1ef400ee (setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git",
2016-10-20), we catch this in the call to git_pathdup() and
die with an assertion.

Dying is the right thing to do, but we should catch the
problem early and give a more human-friendly error message.

Note that even without --local, git-config will sometimes
default to using local repository config (e.g., when
writing). These cases are already protected by similar
checks, and covered by a test in t1308.

Junio C Hamano 1274a155af config: use git_config_parse_key() in git_config_parse_parameter()
The parsing of one-shot assignments of configuration variables that
come from the command line historically was quite loose and allowed
anything to pass.  It also downcased everything in the variable name,
even a three-level <section>.<subsection>.<variable> name in which
the <subsection> part must be treated in a case sensitive manner.

Existing git_config_parse_key() helper is used to parse the variable
name that comes from the command line, i.e. "git config VAR VAL",
and handles these details correctly.  Replace the strbuf_tolower()
call in git_config_parse_parameter() with a call to it to correct
both issues.  git_config_parse_key() does a bit more things that are
not necessary for the purpose of this codepath (e.g. it allocates a
separate buffer to return the canonicalized variable name because it
takes a "const char *" input), but we are not in a performance-critical
codepath here.

Patrick Steinhardt a272b9e70a urlmatch: allow globbing for the URL host part
The URL matching function computes for two URLs whether they match not.
The match is performed by splitting up the URL into different parts and
then doing an exact comparison with the to-be-matched URL.

The main user of `urlmatch` is the configuration subsystem. It allows to
set certain configurations based on the URL which is being connected to
via keys like `http.<url>.*`. A common use case for this is to set
proxies for only some remotes which match the given URL. Unfortunately,
having exact matches for all parts of the URL can become quite tedious
in some setups. Imagine for example a corporate network where there are
dozens or even hundreds of subdomains, which would have to be configured
individually.

Allow users to write an asterisk '*' in place of any 'host' or
'subdomain' label as part of the host name.  For example,
"http.https://*.example.com.proxy" sets "http.proxy" for all direct
subdomains of "https://example.com", e.g. "https://foo.example.com", but
not "https://foo.bar.example.com".

Patrick Steinhardt af99049ca9 urlmatch: include host in urlmatch ranking
In order to be able to rank positive matches by `urlmatch`, we inspect
the path length and user part to decide whether a match is better than
another match. As all other parts are matched exactly between both URLs,
this is the correct thing to do right now.

In the future, though, we want to introduce wild cards for the domain
part. When doing this, it does not make sense anymore to only compare
the path lengths. Instead, we also want to compare the domain lengths to
determine which of both URLs matches the host part more closely.

Vasco Almeida 1edbaac3bb tests: use test_i18n* functions to suppress false positives
The test functions test_i18ncmp and test_i18ngrep pretend success if run
under GETTEXT_POISON. By using those functions to test output which is
correctly marked as translatable, enables one to detect if the strings
newly marked for translation are from plumbing output. If they are
indeed from plumbing, the test would fail, and the string should be
unmarked, since it is not seen by users.

Thus, it is productive to not have false positives when running the test
under GETTEXT_POISON. This commit replaces normal test functions by
their i18n aware variants in use-cases know to be correctly marked for
translation, suppressing false positives.

Jeff King d1f884986d git_config_push_parameter: handle empty GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS
The "git -c var=value" option stuffs the config value into
$GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS, so that sub-processes can see it.
When the config is later read via git_config() or similar,
we parse it back out of that variable.  The parsing end is a
little bit picky; it assumes that each entry was generated
with sq_quote_buf(), and that there is no extraneous
whitespace.

On the generating end, we are careful to append to an
existing $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable if it exists.
However, our test for "should we add a space separator" is
too liberal: it will add one even if the environment
variable exists but is empty. As a result, you might end up
with:

   GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS=" 'core.foo=bar'"

which the parser will choke on.

This was hard to trigger in older versions of git, since we
only set the variable when we had something to put into it
(though you could certainly trigger it manually). But since
14111fc (git: submodule honor -c credential.* from command
line, 2016-02-29), the submodule code will unconditionally
put the $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS variable into the environment
of any operation in the submodule, whether it is empty or
not. So any of those operations which themselves use "git
-c" will generate the unparseable value and fail.

We can easily fix it by catching this case on the generating
side. While we're adding a test, let's also check that
multiple layers of "git -c" work, which was previously not
tested at all.

Johannes Schindelin 45bf32971c t1300: fix the new --show-origin tests on Windows
On Windows, we have that funny situation where the test script can refer
to POSIX paths because it runs in a shell that uses a POSIX emulation
layer ("MSYS2 runtime"). Yet, git.exe does *not* understand POSIX paths
at all but only pure Windows paths.

So let's just convert the POSIX paths to Windows paths before passing
them on to Git, using `pwd` (which is already modified on Windows to
output Windows paths).

While fixing the new tests on Windows, we also have to exclude the tests
that want to write a file with a name that is illegal on Windows
(unfortunately, there is more than one test trying to make use of that
file).

Johannes Schindelin 2ec20212c5 t1300-repo-config: make it resilient to being run via 'sh -x'
One way to diagnose broken regression tests is to run the test
script using 'sh -x t... -i -v' to find out which call actually
demonstrates the symptom.

Hence it is pretty counterproductive if the test script behaves
differently when being run via 'sh -x', in particular when using
test_cmp or test_i18ncmp on redirected stderr.  A more recent way
"sh tXXXX -i -v -x" has the same issue.

So let's use test_i18ngrep (as suggested by Jonathan Nieder) instead of
test_cmp/test_i18ncmp to verify that stderr looks as expected.

SZEDER Gábor 578625fa91 config: add '--name-only' option to list only variable names
'git config' can only show values or name-value pairs, so if a shell
script needs the names of set config variables it has to run 'git config
--list' or '--get-regexp' and parse the output to separate config
variable names from their values.  However, such a parsing can't cope
with multi-line values.  Though 'git config' can produce null-terminated
output for newline-safe parsing, that's of no use in such a case, becase
shells can't cope with null characters.

Even our own bash completion script suffers from these issues.

Help the completion script, and shell scripts in general, by introducing
the '--name-only' option to modify the output of '--list' and
'--get-regexp' to list only the names of config variables, so they don't
have to perform error-prone post processing to separate variable names
from their values anymore.

David Tran 512477b175 tests: use "env" to run commands with temporary env-var settings
Ordinarily, we would say "VAR=VAL command" to execute a tested
command with environment variable(s) set only for that command.
This however does not work if 'command' is a shell function (most
notably 'test_must_fail'); the result of the assignment is retained
and affects later commands.

To avoid this, we used to assign and export environment variables
and run such a test in a subshell, like so:

        (
                VAR=VAL && export VAR &&
                test_must_fail git command to be tested
        )

But with "env" utility, we should be able to say:

        test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git command to be tested

which is much shorter and easier to read.

Jeff King 0016024277 git-config: always treat --int as 64-bit internally
When you run "git config --int", the maximum size of integer
you get depends on how git was compiled, and what it
considers to be an "int".

This is almost useful, because your scripts calling "git
config" will behave similarly to git internally. But relying
on this is dubious; you have to actually know how git treats
each value internally (e.g., int versus unsigned long),
which is not documented and is subject to change. And even
if you know it is "unsigned long", we do not have a
git-config option to match that behavior.

Furthermore, you may simply be asking git to store a value
on your behalf (e.g., configuration for a hook). In that
case, the relevant range check has nothing at all to do with
git, but rather with whatever scripting tools you are using
(and git has no way of knowing what the appropriate range is
there).

Not only is the range check useless, but it is actively
harmful, as there is no way at all for scripts to look
at config variables with large values. For instance, one
cannot reliably get the value of pack.packSizeLimit via
git-config. On an LP64 system, git happily uses a 64-bit
"unsigned long" internally to represent the value, but the
script cannot read any value over 2G.

Ideally, the "--int" option would simply represent an
arbitrarily large integer. For practical purposes, however,
a 64-bit integer is large enough, and is much easier to
implement (and if somebody overflows it, we will still
notice the problem, and not simply return garbage).

Jeff King 2f666581bb config: make numeric parsing errors more clear
If we try to parse an integer config argument and get a
number outside of the representable range, we die with the
cryptic message: "bad config value for '%s'".

We can improve two things:

  1. Show the value that produced the error (e.g., bad
     config value '3g' for 'foo.bar').

  2. Mention the reason the value was rejected (e.g.,
     "invalid unit" versus "out of range").

A few tests need to be updated with the new output, but that
should not be representative of real-world breakage, as
scripts should not be depending on the exact text of our
stderr output, which is subject to i18n anyway.

Junio C Hamano d4770964d5 config: "git config --get-urlmatch" parses section.<url>.key
Using the same urlmatch_config_entry() infrastructure, add a new
mode "--get-urlmatch" to the "git config" command, to learn values
for the "virtual" two-level variables customized for the specific
URL.

    git config [--<type>] --get-urlmatch <section>[.<key>] <url>

With <section>.<key> fully specified, the configuration data for
<section>.<urlpattern>.<key> for <urlpattern> that best matches the
given <url> is sought (and if not found, <section>.<key> is used)
and reported.  For example, with this configuration:

    [http]
        sslVerify
    [http "https://weak.example.com"]
        cookieFile = /tmp/cookie.txt
        sslVerify = false

You would get

    $ git config --bool --get-urlmatch http.sslVerify https://good.example.com
    true
    $ git config --bool --get-urlmatch http.sslVerify https://weak.example.com
    false

With only <section> specified, you can get a list of all variables
in the section with their values that apply to the given URL.  E.g

    $ git config --get-urlmatch http https://weak.example.com
    http.cookiefile /tmp/cookie.txt
    http.sslverify false

Jeff King 53ca053b30 t1300: document some aesthetic failures of the config editor
The config-editing code used by "git config var value" is
built around the regular config callback parser, whose only
triggerable item is an actual key. As a result, it does not
know anything about section headers, which can result in
unnecessarily ugly output:

  1. When we delete the last key in a section, we should be
     able to delete the section header.

  2. When we add a key into a section, we should be able to
     reuse the same section header, even if that section did
     not have any keys in it already.

Unfortunately, fixing these is not trivial with the current
code. It would involve the config parser recording and
passing back information on each item it finds, including
headers, keys, and even comments (or even better, generating
an actual in-memory parse-tree).

Since these behaviors do not cause any functional problems
(i.e., the resulting config parses as expected, it is just
uglier than one would like), fixing them can wait until
somebody feels like substantially refactoring the parsing
code. In the meantime, let's document them as known issues
with some tests.

Carlos Martín Nieto 962c38eedd config: don't segfault when given --path with a missing value
When given a variable without a value, such as '[section] var' and
asking git-config to treat it as a path, git_config_pathname returns
an error and doesn't modify its output parameter. show_config assumes
that the call is always successful and sets a variable to indicate
that vptr should be freed. In case of an error however, trying to do
this will cause the program to be killed, as it's pointing to memory
in the stack.

Detect the error and return immediately to avoid freeing or accessing
the uninitialed memory in the stack.

Jeff King 00b347d3aa git-config: do not complain about duplicate entries
If git-config is asked for a single value, it will complain
and exit with an error if it finds multiple instances of
that value. This is unlike the usual internal config
parsing, however, which will generally overwrite previous
values, leaving only the final one. For example:

  [set a multivar]
  $ git config user.email one@example.com
  $ git config --add user.email two@example.com

  [use the internal parser to fetch it]
  $ git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
  Your Name <two@example.com> ...

  [use git-config to fetch it]
  $ git config user.email
  one@example.com
  error: More than one value for the key user.email: two@example.com

This overwriting behavior is critical for the regular
parser, which starts with the lowest-priority file (e.g.,
/etc/gitconfig) and proceeds to the highest-priority file
($GIT_DIR/config). Overwriting yields the highest priority
value at the end.

Git-config solves this problem by implementing its own
parsing. It goes from highest to lowest priorty, but does
not proceed to the next file if it has seen a value.

So in practice, this distinction never mattered much,
because it only triggered for values in the same file. And
there was not much point in doing that; the real value is in
overwriting values from lower-priority files.

However, this changed with the implementation of config
include files. Now we might see an include overriding a
value from the parent file, which is a sensible thing to do,
but git-config will flag as a duplication.

This patch drops the duplicate detection for git-config and
switches to a pure-overwrite model (for the single case;
--get-all can still be used if callers want to do something
more fancy).

As is shown by the modifications to the test suite, this is
a user-visible change in behavior. An alternative would be
to just change the include case, but this is much cleaner
for a few reasons:

  1. If you change the include case, then to what? If you
     just stop parsing includes after getting a value, then
     you will get a _different_ answer than the regular
     config parser (you'll get the first value instead of
     the last value). So you'd want to implement overwrite
     semantics anyway.

  2. Even though it is a change in behavior for git-config,
     it is bringing us in line with what the internal
     parsers already do.

  3. The file-order reimplementation is the only thing
     keeping us from sharing more code with the internal
     config parser, which will help keep differences to a
     minimum.

Going under the assumption that the primary purpose of
git-config is to behave identically to how git's internal
parsing works, this change can be seen as a bug-fix.

Jeff King ed838e6615 t1300: style updates
The t1300 test script is quite old, and does not use our
modern techniques or styles. This patch updates it in the
following ways:

  1. Use test_cmp instead of cmp (to make failures easier to
     debug).

  2. Use test_cmp instead of 'test $(command) = expected'.
     This makes failures much easier to debug, and also
     makes sure that $(command) exits appropriately.

  3. Use test_must_fail (easier to read, and checks more
     rigorously for signal death).

  4. Write tests with the usual style of:

       test_expect_success 'test name' '
               test commands &&
	       ...
       '

     rather than one-liners, or using backslash-continuation.
     This is purely a style fixup.

There are still a few command happening outside of
test_expect invocations, but they are all innoccuous system
commands like "cat" and "cp". In an ideal world, each test
would be self sufficient and all commands would happen
inside test_expect, but it is not immediately obvious how
the grouping should work (some of the commands impact the
subsequent tests, and some of them are setting up and
modifying state that many tests depend on). This patch just
picks the low-hanging style fruit, and we can do more fixes
on top later.
