We call getaddrinfo() to try to convert a short hostname
into a fully-qualified one (to use it as an email domain).
If there isn't a canonical name, getaddrinfo() will
generally return either a NULL addrinfo list, or one in
which ai->ai_canonname is a copy of the original name.
However, if the result of gethostname() looks like an IP
address, then getaddrinfo() behaves differently on some
systems. On OS X, it will return a "struct addrinfo" with a
NULL ai_canonname, and we segfault feeding it to strchr().
This is hard to test reliably because it involves not only a
system where we we have to fallback to gethostname() to come
up with an ident, but also where the hostname is a number
with no dots. But I was able to replicate the bug by faking
a hostname, like:
diff --git a/ident.c b/ident.c
index e20a772..b790d28 100644

Before this patch it segfaults, and after we correctly

writing reflogs).

When cloning with "--recursive", we'd generally expect
submodules to show progress reports if the main clone did,
too.
In older versions of git, this mostly worked out of the
box. Since we show progress by default when stderr is a tty,
and since the child clones inherit the parent stderr, then
both processes would come to the same decision by default.
If the parent clone was asked for "--quiet", we passed down
"--quiet" to the child. However, if stderr was not a tty and
the user specified "--progress", we did not propagate this
to the child.
That's a minor bug, but things got much worse when we
switched recently to submodule--helper's update_clone
command. With that change, the stderr of the child clones
are always connected to a pipe, and we never output
progress at all.
This patch teaches git-submodule and git-submodule--helper
how to pass down an explicit "--progress" flag when cloning.
The clone command then decides to propagate that flag based
on the cloning decision made earlier (which takes into
account isatty(2) of the parent process, existing --progress
or --quiet flags, etc). Since the child processes always run
without a tty on stderr, we don't have to worry about
passing an explicit "--no-progress"; it's the default for
them.
This fixes the recent loss of progress during recursive
clones. And as a bonus, it makes:
git clone --recursive --progress ... 2>&1 | cat
work by triggering progress explicitly in the children.

The verify_packfile() does not explicitly open the packfile;
instead, it starts with a sha1 checksum over the whole pack,
and relies on use_pack() to open the packfile as a side
effect.
If the pack cannot be opened for whatever reason (either
because its header information is corrupted, or perhaps
because a simultaneous repack deleted it), then use_pack()
will die(), as it has no way to return an error. This is not
ideal, as verify_packfile() otherwise tries to gently return
an error (this lets programs like git-fsck go on to check
other packs).
Instead, let's check is_pack_valid() up front, and return an
error if it fails. This will open the pack as a side effect,
and then use_pack() will later rely on our cached
descriptor, and avoid calling die().

expected result when the filesystem does not support the executable
bit.
What we care about is that a file added with "--chmod=+x" has
executable bit in the index and that "--chmod=+x" (or any other
options for that matter) does not muck with working tree files.
The former is tested by other existing tests, so let's check the
latter more explicitly and only under POSIXPERM prerequisite.

The new regexec_buf() function operates on buffers with an explicitly
specified length, rather than NUL-terminated strings.
We need to use this function whenever the buffer we want to pass to
regexec(3) may have been mmap(2)ed (and is hence not NUL-terminated).
Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where
`git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers,
though, some of which allocated to construct NUL-terminated strings,
or worse, modified buffers to temporarily insert NULs while calling
regexec(3). By converting them to use regexec_buf(), the code has
become much cleaner.

We just introduced a test that demonstrates that our sloppy use of
regexec() on a mmap()ed area can result in incorrect results or even
hard crashes.
So what we need to fix this is a function that calls regexec() on a
length-delimited, rather than a NUL-terminated, string.
Happily, there is an extension to regexec() introduced by the NetBSD
project and present in all major regex implementation including
Linux', MacOSX' and the one Git includes in compat/regex/: by using
the (non-POSIX) REG_STARTEND flag, it is possible to tell the
regexec() function that it should only look at the offsets between
pmatch[0].rm_so and pmatch[0].rm_eo.
That is exactly what we need.
Since support for REG_STARTEND is so widespread by now, let's just
introduce a helper function that always uses it, and tell people
on a platform whose regex library does not support it to use the
one from our compat/regex/ directory.

When our pickaxe code feeds file contents to regexec(), it implicitly
assumes that the file contents are read into implicitly NUL-terminated
buffers (i.e. that we overallocate by 1, appending a single '\0').
This is not so.
In particular when the file contents are simply mmap()ed, we can be
virtually certain that the buffer is preceding uninitialized bytes, or
invalid pages.
Note that the test we add here is known to be flakey: we simply cannot
know whether the byte following the mmap()ed ones is a NUL or not.
Typically, on Linux the test passes. On Windows, it fails virtually
every time due to an access violation (that's a segmentation fault for
you Unix-y people out there). And Windows would be correct: the
regexec() call wants to operate on a regular, NUL-terminated string,
there is no NUL in the mmap()ed memory range, and it is undefined
whether the next byte is even legal to access.
When run with --valgrind it demonstrates quite clearly the breakage, of
course.
Being marked with `test_expect_failure`, this test will sometimes be
declare "TODO fixed", even if it only passes by mistake.
This test case represents a Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example of
a breakage reported by Chris Sidi.
