Running up to v2.21.0, we fixed two bugs that were made prominent by the
Windows-specific change to retain copies of only the 30 latest getenv()
calls' returned strings, invalidating any copies of previous getenv()
calls' return values.
While this really shines a light onto bugs of the form where we hold
onto getenv()'s return values without copying them, it is also a real
problem for users.
And even if Jeff King's patches merged via 773e408881 (Merge branch
'jk/save-getenv-result', 2019-01-29) provide further work on that front,
we are far from done. Just one example: on Windows, we unset environment
variables when spawning new processes, which potentially invalidates
strings that were previously obtained via getenv(), and therefore we
have to duplicate environment values that are somehow involved in
spawning new processes (e.g. GIT_MAN_VIEWER in show_man_page()).
We do not have a chance to investigate, let address, all of those issues
in time for v2.21.0, so let's at least help Windows users by increasing
the number of getenv() calls' return values that are kept valid. The
number 64 was determined by looking at the average number of getenv()
calls per process in the entire test suite run on Windows (which is
around 40) and then adding a bit for good measure. And it is a power of
two (which would have hit yesterday's theme perfectly).

Every once in a while, the Azure Pipeline fails with some semi-random
error: timer thread did not terminate timely
This error message means that the thread that is used to emulate the
setitimer() function did not terminate within 1,000 milliseconds.
The most likely explanation (and therefore the one we should assume to
be true, according to Occam's Razor) is that the timeout of one second
is simply not enough because we try to run so many tasks in parallel.
So let's give it ten seconds instead of only one. That should be enough.

The MSYS2 runtime does its best to emulate the command-line wildcard
expansion and de-quoting which would be performed by the calling Unix
shell on Unix systems.
Those Unix shell quoting rules differ from the quoting rules applying to
Windows' cmd and Powershell, making it a little awkward to quote
command-line parameters properly when spawning other processes.
In particular, git.exe passes arguments to subprocesses that are *not*
intended to be interpreted as wildcards, and if they contain
backslashes, those are not to be interpreted as escape characters, e.g.
when passing Windows paths.
Note: this is only a problem when calling MSYS2 executables, not when
calling MINGW executables such as git.exe. However, we do call MSYS2
executables frequently, most notably when setting the use_shell flag in
the child_process structure.
There is no elegant way to determine whether the .exe file to be
executed is an MSYS2 program or a MINGW one. But since the use case of
passing a command line through the shell is so prevalent, we need to
work around this issue at least when executing sh.exe.
Let's introduce an ugly, hard-coded test whether argv[0] is "sh", and
whether it refers to the MSYS2 Bash, to determine whether we need to
quote the arguments differently than usual.
That still does not fix the issue completely, but at least it is
something.
Incidentally, this also fixes the problem where `git clone \\server\repo`
failed due to incorrect handling of the backslashes when handing the path
to the git-upload-pack process.
Further, we need to take care to quote not only whitespace and
backslashes, but also curly brackets. As aliases frequently go through
the MSYS2 Bash, and as aliases frequently get parameters such as
HEAD@{yesterday}, this is really important. As an early version of this
patch broke this, let's make sure that this does not regress by adding a
test case for that.

Cygwin update.
* tb/use-common-win32-pathfuncs-on-cygwin:
git clone <url> C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo' is working (again)
|
|
A regression for cygwin users was introduced with commit 05b458c,
"real_path: resolve symlinks by hand".
In the the commit message we read:
The current implementation of real_path uses chdir() in order to resolve
symlinks. Unfortunately this isn't thread-safe as chdir() affects a
process as a whole...
The old (and non-thread-save) OS calls chdir()/pwd() had been
replaced by a string operation.
The cygwin layer "knows" that "C:\cygwin" is an absolute path,
but the new string operation does not.
"git clone <url> C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo" fails like this:
fatal: Invalid path '/home/USER/repo/C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo'
The solution is to implement has_dos_drive_prefix(), skip_dos_drive_prefix()
is_dir_sep(), offset_1st_component() and convert_slashes() for cygwin
in the same way as it is done in 'Git for Windows' in compat/mingw.[ch]
Extract the needed code into compat/win32/path-utils.[ch] and use it
for cygwin as well.

config setting `core.unsetenvvars` that allows specifying a
comma-separated list of names to unset before spawning processes.

In the Git for Windows project, we have ample precendent for config
settings that apply to Windows, and to Windows only.
Let's formalize this concept by introducing a platform_core_config()
function that can be #define'd in a platform-specific manner.
This will allow us to contain platform-specific code better, as the
corresponding variables no longer need to be exported so that they can
be defined in environment.c and be set in config.c

On Windows, the authoritative environment is encoded in UTF-16. In Git
for Windows, we convert that to UTF-8 (because UTF-16 is *such* a
foreign idea to Git that its source code is unprepared for it).
Previously, out of performance concerns, we converted the entire
environment to UTF-8 in one fell swoop at the beginning, and upon
putenv() and run_command() converted it back.
Having a private copy of the environment comes with its own perils: when
a library used by Git's source code tries to modify the environment, it
does not really work (in Git for Windows' case, libcurl, see
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/compare/bcad1e6d58^...bcad1e6d58^2
for a glimpse of the issues).
Hence, it makes our environment handling substantially more robust if we
switch to on-the-fly-conversion in `getenv()`/`putenv()` calls. Based
on an initial version in the MSVC context by Jeff Hostetler, this patch
makes it so.
Surprisingly, this has a *positive* effect on speed: at the time when
the current code was written, we tested the performance, and there were
*so many* `getenv()` calls that it seemed better to convert everything
in one go. In the meantime, though, Git has obviously been cleaned up a
bit with regards to `getenv()` calls so that the Git processes spawned
by the test suite use an average of only 40 `getenv()`/`putenv()` calls
over the process lifetime.
Speaking of the entire test suite: the total time spent in the
re-encoding in the current code takes about 32.4 seconds (out of 113
minutes runtime), whereas the code introduced in this patch takes only
about 8.2 seconds in total. Not much, but it proves that we need not be
concerned about the performance impact introduced by this patch.

`GetLongPathName()` function may fail when it is unable to query
the parent directory of a path component to determine the long name
for that component. It happens, because it uses `FindFirstFile()`
function for each next short part of path. The `FindFirstFile()`
requires `List Directory` and `Synchronize` desired access for a calling
process.
In case of lacking such permission for some part of path,
the `GetLongPathName()` returns 0 as result and `GetLastError()`
returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
`GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function can help in such cases, because
it requires `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize` desired access to the
target path only.
The `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function was introduced on
`Windows Server 2008/Windows Vista`. So we need to load it dynamically.
`CreateFile()` parameters:
`lpFileName` = path to the current directory
`dwDesiredAccess` = 0 (it means `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize`)
`dwShareMode` = FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE
(it prevents `Sharing Violation`)
`lpSecurityAttributes` = NULL (default security attributes)
`dwCreationDisposition` = OPEN_EXISTING
(required to obtain a directory handle)
`dwFlagsAndAttributes` = FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS
(required to obtain a directory handle)
`hTemplateFile` = NULL (when opening an existing file or directory,
`CreateFile` ignores this parameter)
The string that is returned by `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function
uses the \\?\ syntax. To skip the prefix and convert backslashes
to slashes, the `normalize_ntpath()` mingw function will be used.
Note: `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function returns a final path.
It is the path that is returned when a path is fully resolved.
For example, for a symbolic link named "C:\tmp\mydir" that points to
"D:\yourdir", the final path would be "D:\yourdir".

When switching the current working directory, say, in PowerShell, it is
quite possible to use a different capitalization than the one that is
recorded on disk. While doing the same in `cmd.exe` adjusts the
capitalization magically, that does not happen in PowerShell so that
`getcwd()` returns the current directory in a different way than is
recorded on disk.
Typically this creates no problems except when you call
git log .
in a subdirectory called, say, "GIT/" but you switched to "Git/" and
your `getcwd()` reports the latter, then Git won't understand that you
wanted to see the history as per the `GIT/` subdirectory but it thinks you
wanted to see the history of some directory that may have existed in the
past (but actually never did).
So let's be extra careful to adjust the capitalization of the current
directory before working with it.

When we access IPv6-related functions, we load the corresponding system
library using the `LoadLibrary()` function, which is not the recommended
way to load system libraries.
In practice, it does not make a difference: the `ws2_32.dll` library
containing the IPv6 functions is already loaded into memory, so
LoadLibrary() simply reuses the already-loaded library.
Still, recommended way is recommended way, so let's use that instead.
While at it, also adjust the code in contrib/ that loads system libraries.

Note: This can cause performance issues when using Git variants with

second-precision file times, a nanosecond-aware Git will think that
pretty much every single file listed in the index is out of date.

In our fstat() emulation, we convert the file metadata from Win32 data
structures to an emulated POSIX structure.
To structure the code better, let's factor that part out into its own
function.
Note: it would be tempting to try to unify this code with the part of
do_lstat() that does the same thing, but they operate on different data
structures: BY_HANDLE_FILE_INFORMATION vs WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA. So
unfortunately, they cannot be unified.

The Windows CRT implements O_APPEND "manually": on write() calls, the
file pointer is set to EOF before the data is written. Clearly, this is
not atomic. And in fact, this is the root cause of failures observed in
t5552-skipping-fetch-negotiator.sh and t5503-tagfollow.sh, where
different processes write to the same trace file simultanously; it also
occurred in t5400-send-pack.sh, but there it was worked around in
71406ed4d6 ("t5400: avoid concurrent writes into a trace file",
2017-05-18).
Fortunately, Windows does support atomic O_APPEND semantics using the
file access mode FILE_APPEND_DATA. Provide an implementation that does.
This implementation is minimal in such a way that it only implements
the open modes that are actually used in the Git code base. Emulation
for other modes can be added as necessary later. To become aware of
the necessity early, the unusal error ENOSYS is reported if an
unsupported mode is encountered.

On Windows, strftime() does not silently ignore invalid formats, but
warns about them and then returns 0 and sets errno to EINVAL.
Unfortunately, Git does not expect such a behavior, as it disagrees
with strftime()'s semantics on Linux. As a consequence, Git
misinterprets the return value 0 as "I need more space" and grows the
buffer. As the larger buffer does not fix the format, the buffer grows
and grows and grows until we are out of memory and abort.
Ideally, we would switch off the parameter validation just for
strftime(), but we cannot even override the invalid parameter handler
via _set_thread_local_invalid_parameter_handler() using MINGW because
that function is not declared. Even _set_invalid_parameter_handler(),
which *is* declared, does not help, as it simply does... nothing.
So let's just bite the bullet and override strftime() for MINGW and
abort on an invalid format string. While this does not provide the
best user experience, it is the best we can do.

Particularly when calling Git from applications, such as Visual Studio's
Team Explorer, it is important that stdin/stdout/stderr are closed
properly. However, when spawning processes on Windows, those handles
must be marked as inheritable if we want to use them, but that flag is a
global flag and may very well be used by other spawned processes which
then do not know to close those handles.
Let's introduce a set of environment variables (GIT_REDIRECT_STDIN and
friends) that specify paths to files, or even better, named pipes (which
are similar to Unix sockets) and that are used by the spawned Git
process. This helps work around above-mentioned issue: those named
pipes will be opened in a non-inheritable way upon startup, and no
handles are passed around (and therefore no inherited handles need to be
closed by any spawned child).
This feature shipped with Git for Windows (marked as experimental) since
v2.11.0(2), so it has seen some serious testing in the meantime.

On Windows the environment variable PATH contains a semicolon-separated
list of directories to search for, in order, when looking for the
location of a binary to run. get_path_split() parses it and returns an
array of string copies, which is iterated by path_lookup(), which in
turn passes each entry to lookup_prog().
Change lookup_prog() to take the directory name as a length-limited
string instead of as a NUL-terminated one and parse PATH directly in
path_lookup(). This avoids memory allocations, simplifying the code.

On Windows, .git and optionally any files whose name starts with a
dot are now marked as hidden, with a core.hideDotFiles knob to
customize this behaviour.
* js/windows-dotgit:
mingw: remove unnecessary definition
mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' setting
|
|
On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot
are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the
.git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed
through Git itself.
On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag
to mark files or directories as hidden.
In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or
for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot)
hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data.
Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting,
with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to
marking only the .git/ directory as hidden.
The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as
was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However,
not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not
show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a
.gitattributes file).
In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core
Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows'
users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/
directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden
.git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the
process of getting this patch upstream.
Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when
creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which
transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile()
function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the
equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed
and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an
existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be
transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again
without O_CREAT.
A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen()
function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag.
Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them
via fopen()/freopen().
The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file
that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in
Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is
awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled
better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series,
though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without
the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.

* jk/tighten-alloc:
compat/mingw: brown paper bag fix for 50a6c8e
|
|
Commit 50a6c8e (use st_add and st_mult for allocation size
computation, 2016-02-22) fixed up many xmalloc call-sites
including ones in compat/mingw.c.
But I screwed up one of them, which was half-converted to
ALLOC_ARRAY, using a very early prototype of the function.
And I never caught it because I don't build on Windows.

fetch-pack: simplify add_sought_entry
fast-import: simplify allocation in start_packfile
write_untracked_extension: use FLEX_ALLOC helper
prepare_{git,shell}_cmd: use argv_array
use st_add and st_mult for allocation size computation
convert trivial cases to FLEX_ARRAY macros

If our size computation overflows size_t, we may allocate a
much smaller buffer than we expected and overflow it. It's
probably impossible to trigger an overflow in most of these
sites in practice, but it is easy enough convert their
additions and multiplications into overflow-checking
variants. This may be fixing real bugs, and it makes
auditing the code easier.

Each of these cases can be converted to use ALLOC_ARRAY or
REALLOC_ARRAY, which has two advantages:
1. It automatically checks the array-size multiplication
for overflow.
2. It always uses sizeof(*array) for the element-size,
so that it can never go out of sync with the declared
type of the array.

Test scripts have been updated to remove assumptions that are not
portable between Git for POSIX and Git for Windows, or to skip ones
with expectations that are not satisfiable on Git for Windows.
* js/mingw-tests: (21 commits)
gitignore: ignore generated test-fake-ssh executable
mingw: do not bother to test funny file names
mingw: skip a test in t9130 that cannot pass on Windows
mingw: handle the missing POSIXPERM prereq in t9124
mingw: avoid illegal filename in t9118
mingw: mark t9100's test cases with appropriate prereqs
t0008: avoid absolute path
mingw: work around pwd issues in the tests
mingw: fix t9700's assumption about directory separators
mingw: skip test in t1508 that fails due to path conversion
tests: turn off git-daemon tests if FIFOs are not available
mingw: disable mkfifo-based tests
mingw: accomodate t0060-path-utils for MSYS2
mingw: fix t5601-clone.sh
mingw: let lstat() fail with errno == ENOTDIR when appropriate
mingw: try to delete target directory before renaming
mingw: prepare the TMPDIR environment variable for shell scripts
mingw: factor out Windows specific environment setup
Git.pm: stop assuming that absolute paths start with a slash
mingw: do not trust MSYS2's MinGW gettext.sh
...

dirname() emulation has been added, as Msys2 lacks it.
* js/dirname-basename:
mingw: avoid linking to the C library's isalpha()
t0060: loosen overly strict expectations
t0060: verify that basename() and dirname() work as expected
compat/basename.c: provide a dirname() compatibility function
compat/basename: make basename() conform to POSIX
Refactor skipping DOS drive prefixes
