The `onbranch` test cases touched by this patch do not actually try to
include any other config. Their purpose is to avoid regressing on two
bugs in the `include.onbranch:<name>.path` code that we fixed in the
past, bugs that are actually unrelated to any concrete branch name.
The first bug was fixed in 85fe0e800c (config: work around bug with
includeif:onbranch and early config, 2019-07-31). Essentially, when
reading early config, there would be a catch-22 trying to access the
refs, and therefore we simply cannot evaluate the condition at that
point. The test case ensures that we avoid emitting this bogus message:
BUG: refs.c:1851: attempting to get main_ref_store outside of repository
The second test case concerns the non-Git scenario, where we simply do
not have a current branch to begin with (because we don't have a
repository in the first place), and the test case was introduced in
22932d9169 (config: stop checking whether the_repository is NULL,
2019-08-06) to ensure that we don't cause a segmentation fault should
the code still incorrectly try to look at any ref.
In short, neither of these two test cases will ever look at a current
branch name, even in case of regressions. Therefore, the actual branch
name does not matter at all. We can therefore easily avoid
racially-charged branch names here, and that's what this patch does.

Some test prereqs depend on other prereqs, so in a couple of cases we
have nested prereqs that look something like this:
test_lazy_prereq FOO '
test_have_prereq BAR &&
check-foo
'
This can be problematic, because lazy prereqs are evaluated in the
'$TRASH_DIRECTORY/prereq-test-dir' directory, which is the same for
every prereq, and which is automatically removed after the prereq has
been evaluated. So if the inner prereq (BAR above) is a lazy prereq
that hasn't been evaluated yet, then after its evaluation the
'prereq-test-dir' shared with the outer prereq will be removed.
Consequently, 'check-foo' will find itself in a non-existing
directory, and won't be able to create/access any files in its cwd,
which could result in an unfulfilled outer prereq.
Luckily, this doesn't affect any of our current nested prereqs, either
because the inner prereq is not a lazy prereq (e.g. MINGW, CYGWIN or
PERL), or because the outer prereq happens to be checked without
touching any paths in its cwd (GPGSM and RFC1991 in 'lib-gpg.sh').
So to prevent nested prereqs from interfering with each other let's
evaluate each prereq in its own dedicated directory by appending the
prereq's name to the directory name, e.g. 'prereq-test-dir-SYMLINKS'.
In the test we check not only that the prereq test dir is still there,
but also that the inner prereq can't mess with the outer prereq's
files.

When 'git repack' creates a pack with the same name as any existing
pack, it moves the existing one to 'old-pack-xxx.{pack,idx,...}' and
then renames the new one into place.
Eventually, it would be nice to have 'git repack' allow for writing a
multi-pack index at the critical time (after the new packs have been
written / moved into place, but before the old ones have been deleted).
Guessing that this option might be called '--write-midx', this makes the
following situation (where repacks are issued back-to-back without any
new objects) impossible:
$ git repack -adb
$ git repack -adb --write-midx
In the second repack, the existing packs are overwritten verbatim with
the same rename-to-old sequence. At that point, the current MIDX is
invalidated, since it refers to now-missing packs. So that code wants to
be run after the MIDX is re-written. But (prior to this patch) the new
MIDX can't be written until the new packs are moved into place. So, we
have a circular dependency.
This is all hypothetical, since no code currently exists to write a MIDX
safely during a 'git repack' (the 'GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX' does so
unsafely). Putting hypothetical aside, though: why do we need to rename
existing packs to be prefixed with 'old-' anyway?
This behavior dates all the way back to 2ad47d6 (git-repack: Be
careful when updating the same pack as an existing one., 2006-06-25).
2ad47d6 is mainly concerned about a case where a newly written pack
would have a different structure than its index. This used to be
possible when the pack name was a hash of the set of objects. Under this
naming scheme, two packs that store the same set of objects could differ
in delta selection, object positioning, or both. If this happened, then
any such packs would be unreadable in the instant between copying the
new pack and new index (i.e., either the index or pack will be stale
depending on the order that they were copied).
But since 1190a1a (pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash,
2013-12-05), this is no longer possible, since pack files are named not
after their logical contents (i.e., the set of objects), but by the
actual checksum of their contents. So, this old- behavior can safely go,
which allows us to avoid our circular dependency above.
In addition to avoiding the circular dependency, this patch also makes
'git repack' a lot simpler, since we don't have to deal with failures
encountered when renaming existing packs to be prefixed with 'old-'.
This patch is mostly limited to removing code paths that deal with the
'old' prefixing, with the exception of files that include the pack's
name in their own filename, like .idx, .bitmap, and related files. The
exception is that we want to continue to trust what pack-objects wrote.
That is, it is not the case that we pretend as if pack-objects didn't
write files identical to ones that already exist, but rather that we
respect what pack-objects wrote as the source of truth. That cuts two
ways:
- If pack-objects produced an identical pack to one that already
exists with a bitmap, but did not produce a bitmap, we remove the
bitmap that already exists. (This behavior is codified in t7700.14).
- If pack-objects produced an identical pack to one that already
exists, we trust the just-written version of the coresponding .idx,
.promisor, and other files over the ones that already exist. This
ensures that we use the most up-to-date versions of this files,
which is safe even in the face of format changes in, say, the .idx
file (which would not be reflected in the .idx file's name).

Ever since 'git pull' learned '--recurse-submodules' in a6d7eb2c7a
(pull: optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule changes only),
2017-06-23), we check if there are local submodule modifications by
checking the revision range 'curr_head --not rebase_fork_point'.
The goal of this check is to abort the pull if there are submodule
modifications in the local commits being rebased, since this scenario is
not supported.
However, the actual range of commits being rebased is not
'rebase_fork_point..curr_head', as the logic in
'get_rebase_newbase_and_upstream' reveals, it is 'upstream..curr_head'.
If the 'git merge-base --fork-point' invocation in
'get_rebase_fork_point' fails to find a fork point between the current
branch and the remote-tracking branch we are pulling from,
'rebase_fork_point' is null and since 4d36f88be7 (submodule: do not pass
null OID to setup_revisions, 2018-05-24), 'submodule_touches_in_range'
checks 'curr_head' and all its ancestors for submodule modifications.
Since it is highly likely that there are submodule modifications in this
range (which is in effect the whole history of the current branch), this
prevents 'git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules' from succeeding if no
fork point exists between the current branch and the remote-tracking
branch being pulled. This can happen, for example, when the current
branch was forked from a commit which was never recorded in the reflog
of the remote-tracking branch we are pulling, as the last two paragraphs
of the "Discussion on fork-point mode" section in git-merge-base(1)
explain.
Fix this bug by passing 'upstream' instead of 'rebase_fork_point' as the
'excl_oid' argument to 'submodule_touches_in_range'.

Test 5572.63 ("branch has no merge base with remote-tracking
counterpart") was introduced in 4d36f88be7 (submodule: do not pass null
OID to setup_revisions, 2018-05-24), as a regression test for the bug
this commit was fixing (preventing a 'fatal: bad object' error when the
current branch and the remote-tracking branch we are pulling have no
merge-base).
However, the commit message for 4d36f88be7 does not describe in which
real-life situation this bug was encountered. The brief discussion on the
mailing list [1] does not either.
The regression test is not really representative of a real-life
scenario: both the local repository and its upstream have only a single
commit, and the "no merge-base" scenario is simulated by recreating this
root commit in the local repository using 'git commit-tree' before
calling 'git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules'. The rebase succeeds
and results in the local branch being reset to the same root commit as
the upstream branch.
The fix in 4d36f88be7 modifies 'submodule.c::submodule_touches_in_range'
so that if 'excl_oid' is null, which is the case when the 'git merge-base
--fork-point' invocation in 'builtin/pull.c::get_rebase_fork_point'
errors (no fork-point), then instead of 'incl_oid --not excl_oid' being
passed to setup_revisions, only 'incl_oid' is passed, and
'submodule_touches_in_range' examines 'incl_oid' and all its ancestors
to verify that they do not touch the submodule.
In test 5572.63, the recreated lone root commit in the local repository is
thus the only commit being examined by 'submodule_touches_in_range', and
this commit *adds* the submodule. However, 'submodule_touches_in_range'
*succeeds* because 'combine-diff.c::diff_tree_combined' (see the
backtrace below) returns early since this commit is the root commit
and has no parents.
#0 diff_tree_combined at combine-diff.c:1494
#1 0x0000000100150cbe in diff_tree_combined_merge at combine-diff.c:1649

In load_idx(), we check that the .idx file is sized appropriately for
the number of objects it claims to have. We recently fixed the case
where the number of objects caused our expected size to overflow a
32-bit unsigned int, and we switched to size_t.
On a 64-bit system, this is fine; our size_t covers any expected size.
On a 32-bit system, though, it won't. The file may claim to have 2^31
objects, which will overflow even a size_t.
This doesn't hurt us at all for a well-formed idx file. A 32-bit system
would already have failed to mmap such a file, since it would be too
big. But an .idx file which _claims_ to have 2^31 objects but is
actually much smaller would fool our check.
This is a broken file, and for the most part we don't care that much
what happens. But:
- it's a little friendlier to notice up front "woah, this file is
broken" than it is to get nonsense results
- later access of the data assumes that the loading function
sanity-checked that we have at least enough bytes for the regular
object-id table. A malformed .idx file could lead to an
out-of-bounds read.
So let's use our overflow-checking functions to make sure that we're not
fooled by a malformed file.

The block-sha1 implementation takes an "unsigned long" for the length of
a buffer to hash, but our hash algorithm wrappers take a size_t, as do
other implementations we support like openssl or sha1dc. On many
systems, including Linux, these two are equivalent, but they are not on
Windows (where only a "long long" is 64 bits). As a result, passing
large chunks to a single the_hash_algo->update_fn() would produce wrong
answers there.
Note that we don't need to update any other sizes outside of the
function interface. We store the cumulative size in a "long long" (which
we must do since we hash things bigger than 4GB, like packfiles, even on
32-bit platforms). And internally, we break that size_t len down into
64-byte blocks to feed into the guts of the algorithm.

When checking the trailing checksum hash of a .idx file, we pass the
whole buffer (minus the trailing hash) into a single call to
the_hash_algo->update_fn(). But we cast it to an "unsigned int". This
comes from c4001d92be (Use off_t when we really mean a file offset.,
2007-03-06). That commit started storing the index_size variable as an
off_t, but our mozilla-sha1 implementation from the time was limited to
a smaller size. Presumably the cast was a way of annotating that we
expected .idx files to be small, and so we didn't need to loop (as we do
for arbitrarily-large .pack files). Though as an aside it was still
wrong, because the mozilla function actually took a signed int.
These days our hash-update functions are defined to take a size_t, so we
can pass the whole buffer in directly. The cast is actually causing a
buggy truncation!
While we're here, though, let's drop the confusing off_t variable in the
first place. We're getting the size not from the filesystem anyway, but
from p->index_size, which is a size_t. In fact, we can make the code a
bit more readable by dropping our local variable duplicating
p->index_size, and instead have one that stores the size of the actual
index data, minus the trailing hash.
