"zdiff3" is identical to ordinary diff3 except that it allows compaction
of common lines on the two sides of history at the beginning or end of
the conflict hunk. For example, the following diff3 conflict:
1
2
3
4
<<<<<<
A
B
C
D
E
||||||
5
6
======
A
X
C
Y
E
>>>>>>
7
8
9
has common lines 'A', 'C', and 'E' on the two sides. With zdiff3, one
would instead get the following conflict:
1
2
3
4
A
<<<<<<
B
C
D
||||||
5
6
======
X
C
Y
>>>>>>
E
7
8
9
Note that the common lines, 'A', and 'E' were moved outside the
conflict. Unlike with the two-way conflicts from the 'merge'
conflictStyle, the zdiff3 conflict is NOT split into multiple conflict
regions to allow the common 'C' lines to be shown outside a conflict,
because zdiff3 shows the base version too and the base version cannot be
reasonably split.
Note also that the removing of lines common to the two sides might make
the remaining text inside the conflict region match the base text inside
the conflict region (for example, if the diff3 conflict had '5 6 E' on
the right side of the conflict, then the common line 'E' would be moved
outside and both the base and right side's remaining conflict text would
be the lines '5' and '6'). This has the potential to surprise users and
make them think there should not have been a conflict, but there
definitely was a conflict and it should remain.

Remove the `ensure_full_index` guard on `read_from_tree` and update `git
reset --mixed` to ensure it can use sparse directory index entries wherever
possible. Sparse directory entries are reset using `diff_tree_oid`, which
requires `change` and `add_remove` functions to process the internal
contents of the sparse directory. The `recursive` diff option handles cases
in which `reset --mixed` must diff/merge files that are nested multiple
levels deep in a sparse directory.
The use of pathspecs with `git reset --mixed` introduces scenarios in which
internal contents of sparse directories may be matched by the pathspec. In
order to reset *all* files in the repo that may match the pathspec, the
following conditions on the pathspec require index expansion before
performing the reset:
* "magic" pathspecs
* wildcard pathspecs that do not match only in-cone files or entire sparse
directories
* literal pathspecs matching something outside the sparse checkout
definition

Disable `command_requires_full_index` repo setting and add
`ensure_full_index` guards around code paths that cannot yet use sparse
directory index entries. `reset --soft` does not modify the index, so no
compatibility changes are needed for it to function without expanding the
index. For all other reset modes (`--mixed`, `--hard`, `--keep`, `--merge`),
the full index is expanded to prevent cache tree corruption and invalid
variable accesses.
Additionally, the `read_cache()` check verifying an uncorrupted index is
moved after argument parsing and preparing the repo settings. The index is
not used by the preceding argument handling, but `read_cache()` must be run
*after* enabling sparse index for the command (so that the index is not
expanded unnecessarily) and *before* using the index for reset (so that it
is verified as uncorrupted).

Remove the "env" member from "struct child_process" in favor of always
using the "env_array". As with the preceding removal of "argv" in
favor of "args" this gets rid of current and future oddities around
memory management at the API boundary (see the amended API docs).
For some of the conversions we can replace patterns like:
child.env = env->v;
With:
strvec_pushv(&child.env_array, env->v);
But for others we need to guard the strvec_pushv() with a NULL check,
since we're not passing in the "v" member of a "struct strvec",
e.g. in the case of tmp_objdir_env()'s return value.
Ideally we'd rename the "env_array" member to simply "env" as a
follow-up, since it and "args" are now inconsistent in not having an
"_array" suffix, and seemingly without any good reason, unless we look
at the history of how they came to be.
But as we've currently got 122 in-tree hits for a "git grep env_array"
let's leave that for now (and possibly forever). Doing that rename
would be too disruptive.

Change a pattern of hardcoding an "argv" array size, populating it and
assigning to the "argv" member of "struct child_process" to instead
use "strvec_push()" to add data to the "args" member.
As noted in the preceding commit this moves us further towards being
able to remove the "argv" member in a subsequent commit
These callers could have used strvec_pushl(), but moving to
strvec_push() makes the diff easier to read, and keeps the arguments
aligned as before.

This implements the same behavior as before in fewer lines of code,

a subsequent commit.
Since we've entirely removed the "argv" variable(s) we can be sure
that no potential logic errors of the type discussed in a preceding
commit are being introduced here, i.e. ones where the local "argv" was
being modified after the assignment to "struct child_process"'s
"argv".

add_worktree() reuses a `child_process` for three run_command()
invocations, but to do so, it has overly-intimate knowledge of
run-command.c internals. In particular, it knows that it must reset
child_process::argv to NULL for each subsequent invocation[*] in order
for start_command() to latch the newly-populated child_process::args for
each invocation, even though this behavior is not a part of the
documented API. Beyond having overly-intimate knowledge of run-command.c
internals, the reuse of one `child_process` for three run_command()
invocations smells like an unnecessary micro-optimization. Therefore,
stop sharing one `child_process` and instead use a new one for each
run_command() call.
[*] If child_process::argv is not reset to NULL, then subsequent
run_command() invocations will instead incorrectly access a dangling
pointer to freed memory which had been allocated by child_process::args
on the previous run. This is due to the following code in
start_command():
if (!cmd->argv)
cmd->argv = cmd->args.v;

Currently, running 'git submodule deinit' on repos where the
submodule's '.git' is a directory, aborts with a message that is not
exactly user friendly.
Let's change this to instead warn the user that the .git/ directory
has been absorbed into the superproject.
The rest of the deinit function can operate as it already does with
new-style submodules.
In one test, we used to require "git submodule deinit" to fail even
with the "--force" option when the submodule's .git/ directory is not
absorbed. Adjust it to expect the operation to pass.

The "checkout" command is one of the main sources of leaks in the test
suite, let's fix the common ones by not leaking from the "struct
branch_info".
Doing this is rather straightforward, albeit verbose, we need to
xstrdup() constant strings going into the struct, and free() the ones
we clobber as we go along.
This also means that we can delete previous partial leak fixes in this
area, i.e. the "path_to_free" accounting added by 96ec7b1e708 (Convert
resolve_ref+xstrdup to new resolve_refdup function, 2011-12-13).
There was some discussion about whether "we should retain the "const
char *" here and cast at free() time, or have it be a "char *". Since
this is not a public API with any sort of API boundary let's use
"char *", as is already being done for the "refname" member of the
same struct.
The tests to mark as passing were found with:
rm .prove; GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t0027 prove -j8 --state=save t[0-9]*.sh :: --immediate
# apply & compile this change
prove -j8 --state=failed :: --immediate
I.e. the ones that were newly passing when the --state=failed command
was run. I left out "t3040-subprojects-basic.sh" and
"t4131-apply-fake-ancestor.sh" to to optimization-level related
differences similar to the ones noted in[1], except that these would
be something the current 'linux-leaks' job would run into.

Regression fix.
* ab/fsck-unexpected-type:
object-file: free(*contents) only in read_loose_object() caller
object-file: fix SEGV on free() regression in v2.34.0-rc2
|
|
In the preceding commit a free() of uninitialized memory regression in
96e41f58fe1 (fsck: report invalid object type-path combinations,
2021-10-01) was fixed, but we'd still have an issue with leaking
memory from fsck_loose(). Let's fix that issue too.
That issue was introduced in my 31deb28f5e0 (fsck: don't hard die on
invalid object types, 2021-10-01). It can be reproduced under
SANITIZE=leak with the test I added in 093fffdfbec (fsck tests: add
test for fsck-ing an unknown type, 2021-10-01):
./t1450-fsck.sh --run=84 -vixd
In some sense it's not a problem, we lost the same amount of memory in
terms of things malloc'd and not free'd. It just moved from the "still
reachable" to "definitely lost" column in valgrind(1) nomenclature[1],
since we'd have die()'d before.
But now that we don't hard die() anymore in the library let's properly
free() it. Doing so makes this code much easier to follow, since we'll
now have one function owning the freeing of the "contents" variable,
not two.
For context on that memory management pattern the read_loose_object()
function was added in f6371f92104 (sha1_file: add read_loose_object()
function, 2017-01-13) and subsequently used in c68b489e564 (fsck:
parse loose object paths directly, 2017-01-13). The pattern of it
being the task of both sides to free() the memory has been there in
this form since its inception.

Before running the post-receive hook, status info is reported back to
the client. If a remote client exits before or during the status report,
receive-pack is killed by SIGPIPE and post-receive is never executed.
The post-receive hook is often used to send email notifications (see
contrib/hooks/post-receive-email), update bug trackers, start automatic
builds, etc. Not executing it after an interrupted yet "successful" push
can lead to inconsistencies.
Ignore SIGPIPE before reporting status to the client to increase the
chances of post-receive running if pre-receive was successful. This does
not guarantee 100% consistency but it should resist early disconnection
by the client.

In eba1ba9 (maintenance: `git maintenance run` learned
`--scheduler=<scheduler>`, 2021-09-04), we introduced the ability to
specify a scheduler explicitly. This led to some extra checks around
whether an alternative scheduler was available. This added the
functionality of removing background maintenance from schedulers other
than the one selected.
On macOS, cron is technically available, but running 'crontab' triggers
a UI prompt asking for special permissions. This is the major reason why
launchctl is used as the default scheduler. The is_crontab_available()
method triggers this UI prompt, causing user disruption.
Remove this disruption by using an #ifdef to prevent running crontab
this way on macOS. This has the unfortunate downside that if a user
manually selects cron via the '--scheduler' option, then adjusting the
scheduler later will not remove the schedule from cron. The
'--scheduler' option ignores the is_available checks, which is how we
can get into this situation.
Extract the new check_crontab_process() method to avoid making the
'child' variable unused on macOS. The method is marked MAYBE_UNUSED
because it has no callers on macOS.

"git push" client talking to an HTTP server did not diagnose the
lack of the final status report from the other side correctly,
which has been corrected.
* jk/http-push-status-fix:
transport-helper: recognize "expecting report" error from send-pack
send-pack: complain about "expecting report" with --helper-status

Earlier, we made sure that "git pull --ff-only" (and "git -c
pull.ff=only pull") errors out when our current HEAD is not an
ancestor of the tip of the history we are merging, but the condition
to trigger the error was implemented incorrectly.
Imagine you forked from a remote branch, built your history on top
of it, and then attempted to pull from them again. If they have not
made any update in the meantime, our current HEAD is obviously not
their ancestor, and this new error triggers.
Without the --ff-only option, we just report that there is no need
to pull; we did the same historically with --ff-only, too.
Make sure we do not fail with the recently added check to restore
the historical behaviour.
