with Asciidoctor, but not AsciiDoc...
An earlier version of this patch used "{caret}" instead of "^", which
avoided these escaping problems. The rendering was still so-so, though
-- these expressions end up set as normal text, similarly to when one
provides, e.g., computer code in the middle of running text, without
properly marking it with `backticks` to be monospaced.
As noted by Jeff King, this suggests actually wrapping these
expressions in backticks, setting them in monospace.
The lone "5" could be left as is or wrapped as `5`. Spell it out as
"five" instead -- this generally looks better anyway for small numbers
in the middle of text like this.

submodule.c: use get_git_dir() instead of get_git_common_dir()
Ever since
df56607dff (git-common-dir: make "modules/"
per-working-directory directory, 2014-11-30), submodules in linked worktrees
are cloned to $GIT_DIR/modules, i.e. $GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/<name>/modules.
However, this convention was not followed when the worktree updater commands
checkout, reset and read-tree learned to recurse into submodules. Specifically,
submodule.c::submodule_move_head, introduced in
6e3c1595c6 (update submodules:
add submodule_move_head, 2017-03-14) and submodule.c::submodule_unset_core_worktree,
(re)introduced in
898c2e65b7 (submodule: unset core.worktree if no working tree
is present, 2018-12-14) use get_git_common_dir() instead of get_git_dir()
to get the path of the submodule repository.
This means that, for example, 'git checkout --recurse-submodules <branch>'
in a linked worktree will correctly checkout <branch>, detach the submodule's HEAD
at the commit recorded in <branch> and update the submodule working tree, but the
submodule HEAD that will be moved is the one in $GIT_COMMON_DIR/modules/<name>/,
i.e. the submodule repository of the main superproject working tree.
It will also rewrite the gitfile in the submodule working tree of the linked worktree
to point to $GIT_COMMON_DIR/modules/<name>/.
This leads to an incorrect (and confusing!) state in the submodule working tree
of the main superproject worktree.
Additionally, if switching to a commit where the submodule is not present,
submodule_unset_core_worktree will be called and will incorrectly remove
'core.wortree' from the config file of the submodule in the main superproject worktree,
$GIT_COMMON_DIR/modules/<name>/config.
Fix this by constructing the path to the submodule repository using get_git_dir()
in both submodule_move_head and submodule_unset_core_worktree.

docs: mention when increasing http.postBuffer is valuable
Users in a wide variety of situations find themselves with HTTP push
problems. Oftentimes these issues are due to antivirus software,
filtering proxies, or other man-in-the-middle situations; other times,
they are due to simple unreliability of the network.
However, a common solution to HTTP push problems found online is to
increase http.postBuffer. This works for none of the aforementioned
situations and is only useful in a small, highly restricted number of
cases: essentially, when the connection does not properly support
HTTP/1.1.

doc: dissuade users from trying to ignore tracked files
It is quite common for users to want to ignore the changes to a file
that Git tracks. Common scenarios for this case are IDE settings and
configuration files, which should generally not be tracked and possibly
generated from tracked files using a templating mechanism.
However, users learn about the assume-unchanged and skip-worktree bits
and try to use them to do this anyway. This is problematic, because
when these bits are set, many operations behave as the user expects, but
they usually do not help when git checkout needs to replace a file.
There is no sensible behavior in this case, because sometimes the data
is precious, such as certain configuration files, and sometimes it is
irrelevant data that the user would be happy to discard.
Since this is not a supported configuration and users are prone to
misuse the existing features for unintended purposes, causing general
sadness and confusion, let's document the existing behavior and the
pitfalls in the documentation for git update-index so that users know
they should explore alternate solutions.
In addition, let's provide a recommended solution to dealing with the

fetch: document and test --refmap=""
To prevent long blocking time during a 'git fetch' call, a user
may want to set up a schedule for background 'git fetch' processes.
However, these runs will update the refs/remotes branches due to
the default refspec set in the config when Git adds a remote.
Hence the user will not notice when remote refs are updated during
their foreground fetches. In fact, they may _want_ those refs to
stay put so they can work with the refs from their last foreground
fetch call.
This can be accomplished by overriding the configured refspec using
'--refmap=' along with a custom refspec:
git fetch --refmap='' <remote> +refs/heads/*:refs/hidden/<remote>/*
to populate a custom ref space and download a pack of the new
reachable objects. This kind of call allows a few things to happen:
1. We download a new pack if refs have updated.
2. Since the refs/hidden branches exist, GC will not remove the
newly-downloaded data.
3. With fetch.writeCommitGraph enabled, the refs/hidden refs are
used to update the commit-graph file.
To avoid the refs/hidden directory from filling without bound, the
--prune option can be included. When providing a refspec like this,
the --prune option does not delete remote refs and instead only
deletes refs in the target refspace.
Update the documentation to clarify how '--refmap=""' works and
create tests to guarantee this behavior remains in the future.

t7800: don't rely on reuse_worktree_file()
A test in t7800 tries to make sure that when git-difftool runs an
external tool that fails, it stops looking at files. Our fake failing
tool prints the file name it was asked to diff before exiting non-zero,
and then we confirm the output contains only that file.
However, this subtly relies on our internal reuse_worktree_file().
Because we're diffing between branches, the command run by difftool
might see:
- the git-stored filename (e.g., "file"), if we decided that the
working tree contents were up-to-date with the object in the index
and HEAD, and we could reuse them
- a temporary filename (e.g. "/tmp/abc123_file") if we had to dump the
contents from the object database
If the latter case happens, then the test fails, because it's expecting
the string "file". I discovered this when debugging something unrelated
with reuse_worktree_file(). I _thought_ it should be able to be
triggered by a racy-git situation, but running:
./t7800-difftool.sh --stress --run=2,13
never seems to fail. However, by my reading of reuse_worktree_file(),
this would probably always fail under Cygwin, because it sets
NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY. At any rate, since reuse_worktree_file()
is meant to be an optimization that may or may not trigger, our test
should be robust either way.
Instead of checking the filename, let's just make sure we got a single
line of output (which would not be true if we continued after the first
failure).

Makefile: use compat regex with SANITIZE=address
Recent versions of the gcc and clang Address Sanitizer produce test

(but not gcc-9 nor clang-7). Running:
make CC=gcc-10 SANITIZE=address test
results in failures in t4018, t3206, and t4062.
The cause seems to be that when built with ASan, we use a different
version of regexec() than normal. And this version doesn't understand
the REG_STARTEND flag. Here's my evidence supporting that.
The failure in t4062 is an ASan warning:
expecting success of 4062.2 '-G matches':

In this case we're looking in a buffer which was mmap'd via
reuse_worktree_file(), and whose size is 4096 bytes. But libasan's
regex tries to look at byte 4097 anyway! If we tweak Git like this:

That first regex should match (and is negated, so it should be telling
us _not_ to match "private:"). But it wouldn't if regexec() is looking
at the whole buffer, and not just the length-limited line we've fed to
regexec_buf(). So this is consistent again with REG_STARTEND being
ignored.
The correct output (compiling without ASan, or gcc-9 with Asan) looks
like this:

So it really does seem like libasan's regex engine is ignoring
REG_STARTEND. We should be able to work around it by compiling with
NO_REGEX, which would use our local regexec(). But to make matters even
more interesting, this isn't enough by itself.
Because ASan has support from the compiler, it doesn't seem to intercept
our call to regexec() at the dynamic library level. It actually
recognizes when we are compiling a call to regexec() and replaces it
with ASan-specific code at that point. And unlike most of our other
compat code, where we might have git_mmap() or similar, the actual
symbol name in the compiled compat/regex code is regexec(). So just
compiling with NO_REGEX isn't enough; we still end up in libasan!
We can work around that by having the preprocessor replace regexec with
git_regexec (both in the callers and in the actual implementation), and
we truly end up with a call to our custom regex code, even when
compiling with ASan. That's probably a good thing to do anyway, as it
means anybody looking at the symbols later (e.g., in a debugger) would
have a better indication of which function is which. So we'll do the
same for the other common regex functions (even though just regexec() is
enough to fix this ASan problem).

dir: treat_leading_path() and read_directory_recursive(), round 2
I was going to title this "dir: more synchronizing of
treat_leading_path() and read_directory_recursive()", a nod to commit
777b42034764 ("dir: synchronize treat_leading_path() and
read_directory_recursive()", 2019-12-19), but the title was too long.
Anyway, first the backstory...
fill_directory() has always had a slightly error-prone interface: it
returns a subset of paths which *might* match the specified pathspec; it
was intended to prune away some paths which didn't match the specified
pathspec and keep at least all the ones that did match it. Given this
interface, callers were responsible to post-process the results and
check whether each actually matched the pathspec.
builtin/clean.c did this. It would first prune out duplicates (e.g. if
"dir" was returned as well as all files under "dir/", then it would
simplify this to just "dir"), and after pruning duplicates it would
compare the remaining paths to the specified pathspec(s). This
post-processing itself could run into problems, though, as noted in
commit
404ebceda01c ("dir: also check directories for matching
pathspecs", 2019-09-17):
For the case of git-clean and a set of pathspecs of "dir/file" and
"more", this caused a problem because we'd end up with dir entries
for both of
"dir"
"dir/file"
Then correct_untracked_entries() would try to helpfully prune
duplicates for us by removing "dir/file" since it's under "dir",
leaving us with
"dir"
Since the original pathspec only had "dir/file", the only entry left
doesn't match and leaves nothing to be removed. (Note that if only
one pathspec was specified, e.g. only "dir/file", then the
common_prefix_len optimizations in fill_directory would cause us to
bypass this problem, making it appear in simple tests that we could
correctly remove manually specified pathspecs.)
That commit fixed the issue -- when multiple pathspecs were specified --
by making sure fill_directory() wouldn't return both "dir" and
"dir/file" outside the common_prefix_len optimization path. This is
where it starts to get fun.
In commit
b9670c1f5e6b ("dir: fix checks on common prefix directory",
2019-12-19), we noticed that the common_prefix_len wasn't doing
appropriate checks and letting all kinds of stuff through, resulting in
recursing into .git/ directories and other craziness. So it started
locking down and doing checks on pathnames within that code path. That
continued with commit
777b42034764 ("dir: synchronize
treat_leading_path() and read_directory_recursive()", 2019-12-19), which
noted the following:
Our optimization to avoid calling into read_directory_recursive()
when all pathspecs have a common leading directory mean that we need
to match the logic that read_directory_recursive() would use if we
had just called it from the root. Since it does more than call
treat_path() we need to copy that same logic.
...and then it more forcefully addressed the issue with this wonderfully
ironic statement:
Needing to duplicate logic like this means it is guaranteed someone
will eventually need to make further changes and forget to update
both locations. It is tempting to just nuke the leading_directory
special casing to avoid such bugs and simplify the code, but
unpack_trees' verify_clean_subdirectory() also calls
read_directory() and does so with a non-empty leading path, so I'm
hesitant to try to restructure further. Add obnoxious warnings to
treat_leading_path() and read_directory_recursive() to try to warn
people of such problems.
You would think that with such a strongly worded description, that its
author would have actually ensured that the logic in
treat_leading_path() and read_directory_recursive() did actually match
and that *everything* that was needed had at least been copied over at
the time that this paragraph was written. But you'd be wrong, I messed
it up by missing part of the logic.
Copy the missing bits to fix the new final test in t7300.

mingw: safeguard better against backslashes in file names
In
224c7d70fa1 (mingw: only test index entries for backslashes, not tree
entries, 2019-12-31), we relaxed the check for backslashes in tree
entries to check only index entries.
However, the code change was incorrect: it was added to
`add_index_entry_with_check()`, not to `add_index_entry()`, so under
certain circumstances it was possible to side-step the protection.
Besides, the description of that commit purported that all index entries
would be checked when in fact they were only checked when being added to
the index (there are code paths that do not do that, constructing
"transient" index entries).
In any case, it was pointed out in one insightful review at
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2437#issuecomment-
566771835
that it would be a much better idea to teach `verify_path()` to perform
the check for a backslash. This is safer, even if it comes with two
notable drawbacks:
- `verify_path()` cannot say _what_ is wrong with the path, therefore
the user will no longer be told that there was a backslash in the
path, only that the path was invalid.
- The `git apply` command also calls the `verify_path()` function, and
might have been able to handle Windows-style paths (i.e. with
backslashes instead of forward slashes). This will no longer be
possible unless the user (temporarily) sets `core.protectNTFS=false`.
Note that `git add <windows-path>` will _still_ work because
`normalize_path_copy_len()` will convert the backslashes to forward
slashes before hitting the code path that creates an index entry.
The clear advantage is that `verify_path()`'s purpose is to check the
validity of the file name, therefore we naturally tap into all the code
paths that need safeguarding, also implicitly into future code paths.
The benefits of that approach outweigh the downsides, so let's move the
check from `add_index_entry_with_check()` to `verify_path()`.

unpack-trees: correctly compute result count
The clear_ce_flags_dir() method processes the cache entries within
a common directory. The returned int is the number of cache entries
processed by that directory. When using the sparse-checkout feature
in cone mode, we can skip the pattern matching for entries in the
directories that are entirely included or entirely excluded.
eb42feca (unpack-trees: hash less in cone mode, 2019-11-21)
introduced this performance feature. The old mechanism relied on
the counts returned by calling clear_ce_flags_1(), but the new
mechanism calculated the number of rows by subtracting "cache_end"
from "cache" to find the size of the range. However, the equation
is wrong because it divides by sizeof(struct cache_entry *). This
is not how pointer arithmetic works!
A coverity build of Git for Windows in preparation for the 2.25.0
release found this issue with the warning, "Pointer differences,
such as cache_end - cache, are automatically scaled down by the
size (8 bytes) of the pointed-to type (struct cache_entry *).
Most likely, the division by sizeof(struct cache_entry *) is
extraneous and should be eliminated." This warning is correct.
This leaves us with the question "how did this even work?" The
problem that occurs with this incorrect pointer arithmetic is
a performance-only bug, and a very slight one at that. Since
the entry count returned by clear_ce_flags_dir() is reduced by
a factor of 8, the loop in clear_ce_flags_1() will re-process
entries from those directories.
By inserting global counters into unpack-tree.c and tracing
them with trace2_data_intmax() (in a private change, for
testing), I was able to see count how many times the loop inside
clear_ce_flags_1() processed an entry and how many times
clear_ce_flags_dir() was called. Each of these are reduced by at
least a factor of 8 with the current change. A factor larger
than 8 happens when multiple levels of directories are repeated.
Specifically, in the Linux kernel repo, the command
git sparse-checkout set LICENSES
restricts the working directory to only the files at root and
in the LICENSES directory. Here are the measured counts:
clear_ce_flags_1 loop blocks:
Before: 11,520
After: 1,621
clear_ce_flags_dir calls:
Before: 7,048
After: 606
While these are dramatic counts, the time spent in
clear_ce_flags_1() is under one millisecond in each case, so
the improvement is not measurable as an end-to-end time.

graph: drop assert() for merge with two collapsing parents
When "git log --graph" shows a merge commit that has two collapsing
lines, like:
| | | | *
| |_|_|/|
|/| | |/
| | |/|
| |/| |
| * | |
* | | |
we trigger an assert():
graph.c:1228: graph_output_collapsing_line: Assertion
`graph->mapping[i - 3] == target' failed.
The assert was introduced by
eaf158f8 ("graph API: Use horizontal
lines for more compact graphs", 2009-04-21), which is quite old.
This assert is trying to say that when we complete a horizontal
line with a single slash, it is because we have reached our target.
It is actually the _second_ collapsing line that hits this assert.
The reason we are in this code path is because we are collapsing
the first line, and in that case we are hitting our target now
that the horizontal line is complete. However, the second line
cannot be a horizontal line, so it will collapse without horizontal
lines. In this case, it is inappropriate to assert that we have
reached our target, as we need to continue for another column
before reaching the target. Dropping the assert is safe here.
The new behavior in
0f0f389f12 (graph: tidy up display of
left-skewed merges, 2019-10-15) caused the behavior change that
made this assertion failure possible. In addition to making the
assert possible, it also changed how multiple edges collapse.
In a larger example, the current code will output a collapse
as follows:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | | | |/| /
| | | |/| |/
| | |/| |/|
| |/| |/| |
| | |/| | |
| | * | | |
However, the intended collapse should allow multiple horizontal lines
as follows:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | |_|_|/| /
| |/| | | |/
| | | |_|/|
| | |/| | |
| | * | | |
This behavior is not corrected by this change, but is noted for a later
update.

transport: don't flush when disconnecting stateless-rpc helper
Since
ba227857d2 (Reduce the number of connects when fetching,
2008-02-04), when we disconnect a git transport, we send a final flush
packet. This cleanly tells the other side that we're done, and avoids
the other side complaining "the remote end hung up unexpectedly" (though
we'd only see that for transports that pass along the server stderr,
like ssh or local-host).
But when we've initiated a v2 stateless-connect session over a transport
helper, there's no point in sending this flush packet. Each operation
we've performed is self-contained, and the other side is fine with us
hanging up between operations.
But much worse, by sending the flush packet we may cause the helper to
issue an entirely new request _just_ to send the flush packet. So we can
incur an extra network request just to say "by the way, we have nothing
more to send".
Let's drop this extra flush packet. As the test shows, this reduces the
number of POSTs required for a v2 ls-remote over http from 2 to 1.

unpack-trees: watch for out-of-range index position
It's possible in a case where the index file contains a tree extension
but no blobs within that tree exist for index_pos_by_traverse_info() to
segfault. If the name_entry passed into index_pos_by_traverse_info() has
no blobs inside, AND is alphabetically later than all blobs currently in
the index file, index_pos_by_traverse_info() will segfault. For example,
an index file which looks something like this:
aaa#0
bbb/aaa#0
[Extensions]
TREE: zzz
In this example, 'index_name_pos(..., "zzz/", ...)' will return '-4',
indicating that "zzz/" could be inserted at position 3. However, when
the checks which ensure that the insertion position of "zzz/" look for a
blob at that position beginning with "zzz/", the index cache is accessed
out of range, causing a segfault.
This kind of index state is not typically generated during user
operations, and is in fact an edge case of the state being checked for
in the conditional where it was added. However, since the entry for the
BUG() line is ambiguous, tell some additional context to help Git
developers debug the failure later. When we know the name of the dir we
were trying to look up, it becomes possible to examine the index file
in a hex util to determine what went wrong; the position gives a hint
about where to start looking.

restore: invalidate cache-tree when removing entries with --staged
When "git restore --staged <path>" removes a path that's in the index,
it marks the entry with CE_REMOVE, but we don't do anything to
invalidate the cache-tree. In the non-staged case, we end up in
checkout_worktree(), which calls remove_marked_cache_entries(). That
actually drops the entries from the index, as well as invalidating the
cache-tree and untracked-cache.
But with --staged, we never call checkout_worktree(), and the CE_REMOVE
entries remain. Interestingly, they are dropped when we write out the
index, but that means the resulting index is inconsistent: its
cache-tree will not match the actual entries, and running "git commit"
immediately after will create the wrong tree.
We can solve this by calling remove_marked_cache_entries() ourselves
before writing out the index. Note that we can't just hoist it out of
checkout_worktree(); that function needs to iterate over the CE_REMOVE
entries (to drop their matching worktree files) before removing them.
One curiosity about the test: without this patch, it actually triggers a
BUG() when running git-restore:
BUG: cache-tree.c:810: new1 with flags 0x4420000 should not be in cache-tree
But in the original problem report, which used a similar recipe,
git-restore actually creates the bogus index (and the commit is created
with the wrong tree). I'm not sure why the test here behaves differently
than my out-of-suite reproduction, but what's here should catch either
symptom (and the fix corrects both cases).

run-command: avoid undefined behavior in exists_in_PATH
In this function, we free the pointer we get from locate_in_PATH and
then check whether it's NULL. However, this is undefined behavior if
the pointer is non-NULL, since the C standard no longer permits us to
use a valid pointer after freeing it.
The only case in which the C standard would permit this to be defined
behavior is if r were NULL, since it states that in such a case "no
action occurs" as a result of calling free.
It's easy to suggest that this is not likely to be a problem, but we
know that GCC does aggressively exploit the fact that undefined
behavior can never occur to optimize and rewrite code, even when that's
contrary to the expectations of the programmer. It is, in fact, very
