A new repo extension is added, worktreeConfig. When it is present:
- Repository config reading by default includes $GIT_DIR/config _and_
$GIT_DIR/config.worktree. "config" file remains shared in multiple
worktree setup.
- The special treatment for core.bare and core.worktree, to stay
effective only in main worktree, is gone. These config settings are
supposed to be in config.worktree.
This extension is most useful in multiple worktree setup because you
now have an option to store per-worktree config (which is either
.git/config.worktree for main worktree, or
.git/worktrees/xx/config.worktree for linked ones).
This extension can be used in single worktree mode, even though it's
pretty much useless (but this can happen after you remove all linked
worktrees and move back to single worktree).
"git config" reads from both "config" and "config.worktree" by default
(i.e. without either --user, --file...) when this extension is
present. Default writes still go to "config", not "config.worktree". A
new option --worktree is added for that (*).
Since a new repo extension is introduced, existing git binaries should
refuse to access to the repo (both from main and linked worktrees). So
they will not misread the config file (i.e. skip the config.worktree
part). They may still accidentally write to the config file anyway if
they use with "git config --file <path>".
This design places a bet on the assumption that the majority of config
variables are shared so it is the default mode. A safer move would be
default writes go to per-worktree file, so that accidental changes are
isolated.
(*) "git config --worktree" points back to "config" file when this
extension is not present and there is only one worktree so that it
works in any both single and multiple worktree setups.

In d8193743e08 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro
was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then
subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae55
(setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12).
The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch
(cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not
terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan
is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.
Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop.
This trick was performed by this invocation:
sed -i 's/die("BUG: /BUG("/g' $(git grep -l 'die("BUG' \*.c)

Some codepaths, including the refs API, get and keep relative

When we change to the top of the working tree, we manually
re-adjust $GIT_DIR and call set_git_dir() again, in order to
update any relative git-dir we'd compute earlier.
Instead of the work-tree code having to know to call the
git-dir code, let's use the new chdir_notify interface.
There are two spots that need updating, with a few
subtleties in each:
1. the set_git_dir() code needs to chdir_notify_register()
so it can be told when to update its path.
Technically we could push this down into repo_set_gitdir(),
so that even repository structs besides the_repository
could benefit from this. But that opens up a lot of
complications:
- we'd still need to touch set_git_dir(), because it
does some other setup (like setting $GIT_DIR in the
environment)
- submodules using other repository structs get
cleaned up, which means we'd need to remove them
from the chdir_notify list
- it's unlikely to fix any bugs, since we shouldn't
generally chdir() in the middle of working on a
submodule
2. setup_work_tree now needs to call chdir_notify(), and
can lose its manual set_git_dir() call.
Note that at first glance it looks like this undoes the
absolute-to-relative optimization added by 044bbbcb63
(Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in
setup_work_tree(), 2008-06-19). But for the most part
that optimization was just _undoing_ the
relative-to-absolute conversion which the function was
doing earlier (and which is now gone).
It is true that if you already have an absolute git_dir
that the setup_work_tree() function will no longer make
it relative as a side effect. But:
- we generally do have relative git-dir's due to the
way the discovery code works
- if we really care about making git-dir's relative
when possible, then we should be relativizing them
earlier (e.g., when we see an absolute $GIT_DIR we
could turn it relative, whether we are going to
chdir into a worktree or not). That would cover all
cases, including ones that 044bbbcb63 did not.

It does not make sense that generic repository code contains handling
of environment variables, which are specific for the main repository
only. Refactor repo_set_gitdir() function to take $GIT_DIR and
optionally _all_ other customizable paths. These optional paths can be
NULL and will be calculated according to the default directory layout.
Note that some dead functions are left behind to reduce diff
noise. They will be deleted in the next patch.

In future versions of Git, we plan to support an additional hash
algorithm. Integrate the enumeration of hash algorithms with repository
setup, and store a pointer to the enumerated data in struct repository.
Of course, we currently only support SHA-1, so hard-code this value in
read_repository_format. In the future, we'll enumerate this value from
the configuration.
Add a constant, the_hash_algo, which points to the hash_algo structure
pointer in the repository global. Note that this is the hash which is
used to serialize data to disk, not the hash which is used to display
items to the user. The transition plan anticipates that these may be
different. We can add an additional element in the future (say,
ui_hash_algo) to provide for this case.
Include repository.h in cache.h since we now need to have access to
these struct and variable definitions.

We enumerate several different items as part of struct
repository_format, but then actually set up those values using the
global variables we've initialized from them. Instead, let's pass a
pointer to the structure down to the code where we enumerate these
values, so we can later on use those values directly to perform setup.
This technique makes it easier for us to determine additional items
about the repository format (such as the hash algorithm) and then use
them for setup later on, without needing to add additional global
variables. We can't avoid using the existing global variables since
they're intricately intertwined with how things work at the moment, but
this improves things for the future.

Correct start-up sequence so that a repository could be placed
immediately under the root directory again (which was broken at
around Git 2.13).
* js/early-config:
setup: avoid double slashes when looking for HEAD
|
|
Andrew Baumann reported that when called outside of any Git worktree,
`git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` eventually tries to access
`//HEAD`, i.e. any `HEAD` file in the root directory, but with a double
slash.
This double slash is not only unintentional, but is allowed by the POSIX
standard to have a special meaning. And most notably on Windows, it
does, where it refers to a UNC path of the form `//server/share/`.
As a consequence, afore-mentioned `rev-parse` call not only looks for
the wrong thing, but it also causes serious delays, as Windows will try
to access a server called `HEAD`. Let's simply avoid the unintended
double slash.

The error message shown when a flag is found when expecting a
filename wasn't clear as it didn't communicate what was wrong
using the 'suitable' words in *all* cases.
$ git ls-files

Correct case,

Incorrect case,
$ git grep "some random regex" -n
fatal: bad flag '-n' used after filename

in this case.
Change the error message to be general and communicative. This results
in the following output,

Ideally we'd free the existing gitdir field before assigning
the new one, to avoid a memory leak. But we can't do so
safely because some callers do the equivalent of:
set_git_dir(get_git_dir());
We can detect that case as a noop, but there are even more
complicated cases like:
set_git_dir(remove_leading_path(worktree, get_git_dir());
where we really do need to do some work, but the original
string must remain valid.
Rather than put the burden on callers to make a copy of the
string (only to free it later, since we'll make a copy of it
ourselves), let's solve the problem inside set_git_dir(). We
can make a copy of the pointer for the old gitdir, and then
avoid freeing it until after we've made our new copy.

Under some circumstances (bogus GIT_DIR value or the discovered gitdir
is '.git') 'setup_git_directory()' won't initialize key repository
state. This leads to inconsistent state after running the setup code.
To account for this inconsistent state, lazy initialization is done once
a caller asks for the repository's gitdir or some other piece of
repository state. This is confusing and can be error prone.
Instead let's tighten the expected outcome of 'setup_git_directory()'
and ensure that it initializes repository state in all cases that would
have been handled by lazy initialization.
This also lets us drop the requirement to have 'have_git_dir()' check if
the environment variable GIT_DIR was set as that will be handled by the
end of the setup code.

discover_git_directory(): avoid setting invalid git_dir

The convention for a command line is to follow "git cmdname
--options" with revisions followed by an optional "--"
disambiguator and then finally pathspecs. When "--" is not there,
we make sure early ones are all interpretable as revs (and do not
look like paths) and later ones are the other way around. A
pathspec with "magic" (e.g. ":/p/a/t/h" that matches p/a/t/h from
the top-level of the working tree, no matter what subdirectory you
are working from) are conservatively judged as "not a path", which
required disambiguation more often. The command line parser
learned to say "it's a pathspec" a bit more often when the syntax
looks like so.

Currently 'discover_git_directory' only looks at the gitdir to determine
if a git directory was discovered. This causes a problem in the event
that the gitdir which was discovered was in fact a per-worktree git
directory and not the common git directory. This is because the
repository config, which is checked to verify the repository's format,
is stored in the commondir and not in the per-worktree gitdir. Correct
this behavior by checking the config stored in the commondir.
It will also be of use for callers to have access to the commondir, so
lets also return that upon successfully discovering a git directory.

When discovering a .git/ directory, we take pains to ensure that its

otherwise.
However, we still appended the invalid path to the strbuf passed as
argument.
Let's just reset the strbuf to the state before we appended the .git/
directory that was eventually rejected.
There is another early return path in that function, when
setup_git_directory_gently_1() returns GIT_DIR_NONE or an error. In that
case, the gitdir parameter has not been touched, therefore there is no
need for an equivalent change in that code path.

Our code often opens a path to an optional file, to work on its
contents when we can successfully open it. We can ignore a failure
to open if such an optional file does not exist, but we do want to
report a failure in opening for other reasons (e.g. we got an I/O
error, or the file is there, but we lack the permission to open).
The exact errors we need to ignore are ENOENT (obviously) and
ENOTDIR (less obvious). Instead of repeating comparison of errno
with these two constants, introduce a helper function to do so.
* jc/noent-notdir:

step, update all hits from
$ git grep -e ENOENT --and -e ENOTDIR
There are codepaths that only check ENOENT, and it is possible that
some of them should be checking both. Updating them is kept out of
this step deliberately, as we do not want to change behaviour in this
step.

For commands that take revisions and pathspecs, magic
pathspecs like ":(exclude)foo" require the user to specify
a disambiguating "--", since they do not match a file in the
filesystem, like:
git grep foo -- :(exclude)bar
This makes them more annoying to use than they need to be.
We loosened the rules for wildcards in 28fcc0b71 (pathspec:
avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is used, 2015-05-02).
Let's do the same for pathspecs with long-form magic.
We already handle the short-forms ":/" and ":^" specially in
check_filename(), so we don't need to handle them here. And
in fact, we could do the same with long-form magic, parsing
out the actual filename and making sure it exists. But there
are a few reasons not to do it that way:
- the parsing gets much more complicated, and we'd want to
hand it off to the pathspec code. But that code isn't
ready to do this kind of speculative parsing (it's happy
to die() when it sees a syntactically invalid pathspec).
- not all pathspec magic maps to a filesystem path. E.g.,
:(attr) should be treated as a pathspec regardless of
what is in the filesystem
- we can be a bit looser with ":(" than with the
short-form ":/", because it is much less likely to have
a false positive. Whereas ":/" also means "search for a
commit with this regex".
Note that because the change is in verify_filename() and not
in its helper check_filename(), this doesn't affect the
verify_non_filename() case. I.e., if an item that matches
our new rule doesn't resolve as an object, we may fallback
to treating it as a pathspec (rather than complaining it
doesn't exist). But if it does resolve (e.g., as a file in
the index that starts with an open-paren), we won't then
complain that it's also a valid pathspec. This matches the
wildcard-exception behavior.
And of course in either case, one can always insert the "--"
to get more precise results.

We handle arguments with the ":/" pathspec magic specially,
making sure the name exists at the top-level. We'll want to
handle more pathspec magic in future patches, so let's do a
little rearranging to make that easier.
Instead of relying on an if/else cascade to avoid the
prefix_filename() call, we'll just set prefix to NULL.
Likewise, we'll get rid of the "name" variable entirely, and
just push the "arg" pointer forward to skip past the magic.
That means by the time we get to the prefix-handling, we're
set up appropriately whether we saw ":/" or not.
Note that this does impact the final error message we
produce when stat() fails, as it shows "arg" (which we'll
have modified to skip magic and include the prefix). This is
a good thing; the original message would say something like
"failed to stat ':/foo'", which is confusing (we tried to
stat "foo").

The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static
storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already
fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the
calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to
confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once
in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from
parse_chunk()).
Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return
value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is
empty (and we could just return the original file pointer).
That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't
otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in
performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_
allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about
performance is questionable anyway).
The downside is that the callers need to remember to free()
the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used
xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The
remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate.
I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases
where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the
cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases,
though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying
about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any
situation.

This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in
every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's
simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves
callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL
prefix).
In a handful of cases we had the length already without
calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not
likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty
we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

In a future patch child processes which act on submodules need a little
more context about the original command that was invoked. This patch
teaches git to use the prefix stored in `GIT_INTERNAL_TOPLEVEL_PREFIX`
instead of the prefix that was potentally found during the git directory
setup process.

During the review of the `early-config` patch series, two issues
have been identified that have been with us forever. Mark the
identified problems for later so that we do not forget them.

This function now has a new caller in addition to setup_git_directory():
the newly introduced discover_git_directory(). That function wants to
discover the current .git/ directory, and in case of a corrupted one
simply pretend that there is none to be found.
Example: if a stale .git file exists in the parent directory, and the
user calls `git -p init`, we want Git to simply *not* read any
repository config for the pager (instead of aborting with a message that
the .git file is corrupt).
Let's actually pretend that there was no GIT_DIR to be found in that case
when being called from discover_git_directory(), but keep the previous
behavior (i.e. to die()) for the setup_git_directory() case.

We modified the setup_git_directory_gently_1() function earlier to make
it possible to discover the GIT_DIR without changing global state.
However, it is still a bit cumbersome to use if you only need to figure
out the (possibly absolute) path of the .git/ directory. Let's just
provide a convenient wrapper function with an easier signature that
*just* discovers the .git/ directory.
We will use it in a subsequent patch to fix the early config.

For historical reasons, Git searches for the .git/ directory (or the
.git file) by changing the working directory successively to the parent
directory of the current directory, until either anything was found or
until a ceiling or a mount point is hit.
Further global state may be changed in case a .git/ directory was found.
We do have a use case, though, where we would like to find the .git/
directory without having any global state touched, though: when we read
the early config e.g. for the pager or for alias expansion.
Let's just move all of code that changes any global state out of the
function `setup_git_directory_gently_1()` into
`setup_git_directory_gently()`.
In subsequent patches, we will use the _1() function in a new
`discover_git_directory()` function that we will then use for the early
config code.
Note: the new loop is a *little* tricky, as we have to handle the root
directory specially: we cannot simply strip away the last component
including the slash, as the root directory only has that slash. To remedy
that, we introduce the `min_offset` variable that holds the minimal length
of an absolute path, and using that to special-case the root directory,
including an early exit before trying to find the parent of the root
directory.

Currently, the offset parameter (indicating what part of the cwd
parameter corresponds to the current directory after discovering the
.git/ directory) is set to 0 when we are running in the root directory.
However, in the next patches we will avoid changing the current working
directory while searching for the .git/ directory, meaning that the
offset corresponding to the root directory will have to be 1 to reflect
that this directory is characterized by the path "/" (and not "").
So let's make sure that setup_discovered_git_directory() only tries to
append the trailing slash to non-root directories.
Note: the setup_bare_git_directory() does not need a corresponding
change, as it does not want to return a prefix.

Git v2.12 was shipped with an embarrassing breakage where various
operations that verify paths given from the user stopped dying when
seeing an issue, and instead later triggering segfault.
