parse_feature_value() takes an offset, and uses it to seek past the
point in features_list that we've already seen. However if the feature
being searched for does not specify a value, the offset is not
updated. Therefore if we call parse_feature_value() in a loop on a
value-less feature, we'll keep on parsing the same feature over and over
again. This usually isn't an issue: there's no point in using
next_server_feature_value() to search for repeated instances of the same
capability unless that capability typically specifies a value - but a
broken server could send a response that omits the value for a feature
even when we are expecting a value.
Therefore we add an offset update calculation for the no-value case,
which helps ensure that loops using next_server_feature_value() will
always terminate.
next_server_feature_value(), and the offset calculation, were first
added in 2.28 in 2c6a403d96 (connect: add function to parse multiple
v1 capability values, 2020-05-25).
Thanks to Peff for authoring the test.

The difftool dir-diff mode handles symlinks by replacing them with their
readlink(2) values. This allows diff tools to see changes to symlinks
as if they were regular text diffs with the old and new path values.
This is analogous to what "git diff" displays when symlinks change.
The temporary diff directories that are created initially contain
symlinks because they get checked-out using a temporary index that
retains the original symlinks as checked-in to the repository.
A bug was introduced when difftool was rewritten in C that made
difftool write the readlink(2) contents into the pointed-to file rather
than the symlink itself. The write was going through the symlink and
writing to its target rather than writing to the symlink path itself.
Replace symlinks with raw text files by unlinking the symlink path
before writing the readlink(2) content into them.
When 18ec800512 (difftool: handle modified symlinks in dir-diff mode,
2017-03-15) added handling for modified symlinks this bug got recorded
in the test suite. The tests included the pointed-to symlink target
paths. These paths were being reported because difftool was erroneously
writing to them, but they should have never been reported nor written.
Correct the modified-symlinks test cases by removing the target files
from the expected output.
Add a test to ensure that symlinks are written with the readlink(2)
values and that the target files contain their original content.

When HTTP/2 is in use, we fail to correctly redact "Authorization" (and
other) headers in our GIT_TRACE_CURL output.
We get the headers in our CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION callback, curl_trace().
It passes them along to curl_dump_header(), which in turn checks
redact_sensitive_header(). We see the headers as a text buffer like:
Host: ...
Authorization: Basic ...
After breaking it into lines, we match each header using skip_prefix().
This is case-sensitive, even though HTTP headers are case-insensitive.
This has worked reliably in the past because these headers are generated
by curl itself, which is predictable in what it sends.
But when HTTP/2 is in use, instead we get a lower-case "authorization:"
header, and we fail to match it. The fix is simple: we should match with
skip_iprefix().
Testing is more complicated, though. We do have a test for the redacting
feature, but we don't hit the problem case because our test Apache setup
does not understand HTTP/2. You can reproduce the issue by applying this
on top of the test change in this patch:

but this has a few issues:
- it's not necessarily portable. The http2 apache module might not be
available on all systems. Further, the http2 module isn't compatible
with the prefork mpm, so we have to switch to something else. But we
don't necessarily know what's available. It would be nice if we
could have conditional config, but IfModule only tells us if a
module is already loaded, not whether it is available at all.
This might be a non-issue. The http tests are already optional, and
modern-enough systems may just have both of these. But...
- if we do this, then we'd no longer be testing HTTP/1.1 at all. I'm
not sure how much that matters since it's all handled by curl under
the hood, but I'd worry that some detail leaks through. We'd
probably want two scripts running similar tests, one with HTTP/2 and
one with HTTP/1.1.
- speaking of which, a later test fails with the patch above! The
problem is that it is making sure we used a chunked
transfer-encoding by looking for that header in the trace. But
HTTP/2 doesn't support that, as it has its own streaming mechanisms
(the overall operation works fine; we just don't see the header in
the trace).
Furthermore, even with the changes above, this test still does not
detect the current failure, because we see _both_ HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2
requests, which confuse it. Quoting only the interesting bits from the
resulting trace file, we first see:
=> Send header: GET /auth/smart/repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
=> Send header: Connection: Upgrade, HTTP2-Settings
=> Send header: Upgrade: h2c
=> Send header: HTTP2-Settings: AAMAAABkAAQCAAAAAAIAAAAA
<= Recv header: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
<= Recv header: Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2021 20:03:32 GMT
<= Recv header: Server: Apache/2.4.49 (Debian)
<= Recv header: WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="git-auth"
So the client asks for HTTP/2, but Apache does not do the upgrade for
the 401 response. Then the client repeats with credentials:
=> Send header: GET /auth/smart/repo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1
=> Send header: Authorization: Basic <redacted>
=> Send header: Connection: Upgrade, HTTP2-Settings
=> Send header: Upgrade: h2c
=> Send header: HTTP2-Settings: AAMAAABkAAQCAAAAAAIAAAAA
<= Recv header: HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
<= Recv header: Upgrade: h2c
<= Recv header: Connection: Upgrade
<= Recv header: HTTP/2 200
<= Recv header: content-type: application/x-git-upload-pack-advertisement
So the client does properly redact there, because we're speaking
HTTP/1.1, and the server indicates it can do the upgrade. And then the
client will make further requests using HTTP/2:
=> Send header: POST /auth/smart/repo.git/git-upload-pack HTTP/2
=> Send header: authorization: Basic dXNlckBob3N0OnBhc3NAaG9zdA==
=> Send header: content-type: application/x-git-upload-pack-request
And there we can see that the credential is _not_ redacted. This part of
the test is what gets confused:
# Ensure that there is no "Basic" followed by a base64 string, but that
# the auth details are redacted
! grep "Authorization: Basic [0-9a-zA-Z+/]" trace &&
grep "Authorization: Basic <redacted>" trace
The first grep does not match the un-redacted HTTP/2 header, because
it insists on an uppercase "A". And the second one does find the
HTTP/1.1 header. So as far as the test is concerned, everything is OK,
but it failed to notice the un-redacted lines.
We can make this test (and the other related ones) more robust by adding
"-i" to grep case-insensitively. This isn't really doing anything for
now, since we're not actually speaking HTTP/2, but it future-proofs the
tests for a day when we do (either we add explicit HTTP/2 test support,
or it's eventually enabled by default by our Apache+curl test setup).
And it doesn't hurt in the meantime for the tests to be more careful.
The change to use "grep -i", coupled with the changes to use HTTP/2
shown above, causes the test to fail with the current code, and pass
after this patch is applied.
And finally, there's one other way to demonstrate the issue (and how I
actually found it originally). Looking at GIT_TRACE_CURL output against
github.com, you'll see the unredacted output, even if you didn't set
http.version. That's because setting it is only necessary for curl to
send the extra headers in its HTTP/1.1 request that say "Hey, I speak
HTTP/2; upgrade if you do, too". But for a production site speaking
https, the server advertises via ALPN, a TLS extension, that it supports
HTTP/2, and the client can immediately start using it.

When cloning a repository with an unborn HEAD, we'll set the local HEAD
to match it only if the local repository is non-bare. This is
inconsistent with all other combinations:
remote HEAD | local repo | local HEAD
-----------------------------------------------
points to commit | non-bare | same as remote
points to commit | bare | same as remote
unborn | non-bare | same as remote
unborn | bare | local default
So I don't think this is some clever or subtle behavior, but just a bug
in 4f37d45706 (clone: respect remote unborn HEAD, 2021-02-05). And it's
easy to see how we ended up there. Before that commit, the code to set
up the HEAD for an empty repo was guarded by "if (!option_bare)". That's
because the only thing it did was call install_branch_config(), and we
don't want to do so for a bare repository (unborn HEAD or not).
That commit put the handling of unborn HEADs into the same block, since
those also need to call install_branch_config(). But the unborn case has
an additional side effect of calling create_symref(), and we want that
to happen whether we are bare or not.
This patch just pulls all of the "figure out the default branch" code
out of the "!option_bare" block. Only the actual config installation is
kept there.
Note that this does mean we might allocate "ref" and not use it (if the
remote is empty but did not advertise an unborn HEAD). But that's not
really a big deal since this isn't a hot code path, and it keeps the
code simple. The alternative would be handling unborn_head_target
separately, but that gets confusing since its memory ownership is
tangled up with the "ref" variable.
There's just one new test, for the case we're fixing. The other ones in
the table are handled elsewhere (the unborn non-bare case just above,
and the actually-born cases in t5601, t5606, and t5609, as they do not
require v2's "unborn" protocol extension).

c057bad370 (git-cvsserver: use a password file cvsserver pserver,
2010-05-15) adds a way for `git cvsserver` to provide authenticated
pserver accounts without having clear text passwords, but uses the
username instead of the password to the call for crypt(3).
Correct that, and make sure the documentation correctly indicates how
to obtain hashed passwords that could be used to populate this
configuration, as well as correcting the hash that was used for the
tests.
This change will require that any user of this feature updates the
hashes in their configuration, but has the advantage of using a more
similar format than cvs uses, probably also easying any migration.

t1400.190 sometimes fails or even hangs because of the way it uses
fifos. Our goal is to interactively read and write lines from
update-ref, so we have two fifos, in and out. We open a descriptor
connected to "in" and redirect output to that, so that update-ref does
not see EOF as it would if we opened and closed it for each "echo" call.
But we don't do the same for the output. This leads to a race where our
"read response <out" has not yet opened the fifo, but update-ref tries
to write to it and gets SIGPIPE. This can result in the test failing, or
worse, hanging as we wait forever for somebody to write to the pipe.
This is the same proble we fixed in 4783e7ea83 (t0008: avoid SIGPIPE
race condition on fifo, 2013-07-12), and we can fix it the same way, by
opening a second long-running descriptor.
Before this patch, running:
./t1400-update-ref.sh --run=1,190 --stress
failed or hung within a few dozen iterations. After it, I ran it for
several hundred without problems.

If a user deletes a file and places a directory of untracked files
there, then stashes all these changes, the untracked directory of files
cannot be restored until after the corresponding file in the way is
removed. So, restore changes to tracked files before restoring
untracked files.
There is no counterpart problem to worry about with the user deleting an
untracked file and then add a tracked one in its place. Git does not
track untracked files, and so will not know the untracked file was
deleted, and thus won't be able to stash the removal of that file.

When a file is removed from the cache, but there is a file of the same
name present in the working directory, we would normally treat that file
in the working directory as untracked. However, in the case of stash,
doing that would prevent a simple 'git stash push', because the untracked
file would be in the way of restoring the deleted file.
git stash, however, blindly assumes that whatever is in the working
directory for a deleted file is wanted and passes that path along to
update-index. That causes problems when the working directory contains
a directory with the same name as the deleted file. Add some code for
this special case that will avoid passing directory names to
update-index.

The t5562 script occasionally takes 60 extra seconds to complete due to
a race condition in the invoke-with-content-length.pl helper.
The way it's supposed to work is this:
- we set up a SIGCLD handler
- we kick off http-backend and write to it with a set content-length,
but _don't_ close the pipe
- we sleep for 60 seconds, assuming that SIGCLD from http-backend
finishing will interrupt us
- after the sleep finishes (whetherby 60 seconds or because it was
interrupted by the signal), we check a flag to see if our SIGCLD
handler was called. If not, then we complain.
This usually completes immediately, because the signal interrupts our
sleep. But very occasionally the child process dies _before_ we hit the
sleep, so we don't realize it. The test still completes successfully
(because our $exited flag is set), but it takes an extra 60 seconds.
There's no way to check the flag and sleep atomically. So the best we
can do with this approach is to sleep in smaller chunks (say, 1 second)
and check the flag incrementally. Then we waste a maximum of 1 second if
we lose the race. This was proposed in:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20190218205028.32486-1-max@max630.net/
and it does work. But we can do better.
Instead of blocking on sleep and waiting for the child signal to
interrupt us, we can block on the child exiting and set an alarm signal
to trigger the timeout.
This lets us exit the script immediately when the child behaves (with no
race possible), and wait a maximum of 60 seconds when it doesn't.
Note one small subtlety: perl is very willing to restart the waitpid()
call after the alarm is delivered, even if we've thrown an exception via
die. "perldoc -f alarm" claims you can get around this with an eval/die
combo (and even has some example code), but it doesn't seem to work for
me with waitpid(); instead, we continue waiting until the child exits.
So instead, we'll instruct the child process to exit in the alarm
handler itself. In the original code this was done by calling
close($out). That would continue to work, since our child is always
http-backend, which should exit when its stdin closes. But we can be
even more robust against a hung or confused child by sending a KILL
signal, which should terminate it immediately.
