t9700: fix test for perl older than 5.14
Commit
d53c2c6 (mingw: fix t9700's assumption about
directory separators, 2016-01-27) uses perl's "/r" regex
modifier to do a non-destructive replacement on a string,
leaving the original unmodified and returning the result.
This feature was introduced in perl 5.14, but systems with
older perl are still common (e.g., CentOS 6.5 still has perl
5.10). Let's work around it by providing a helper function
that does the same thing using older syntax.
While we're at it, let's switch to using an alternate regex
separator, which is slightly more readable.

The expected way to pass data into the callback is to pass them via

it to fix flaky tests, 2015-11-27) taught t5504 to handle
"git push" racily exiting with SIGPIPE rather than failing.
However, one of the tests checks the output of the command,
as well. In the SIGPIPE case, we will not have produced any
output. If we want the test to be truly non-flaky, we have
to accept either output.

fetch-pack: ignore SIGPIPE in sideband demuxer
If the other side feeds us a bogus pack, index-pack (or
unpack-objects) may die early, before consuming all of its
input. As a result, the sideband demuxer may get SIGPIPE
(racily, depending on whether our data made it into the pipe
buffer or not). If this happens and we are compiled with
pthread support, it will take down the main thread, too.
This isn't the end of the world, as the main process will
just die() anyway when it sees index-pack failed. But it
does mean we don't get a chance to say "fatal: index-pack
failed" or similar. And it also means that we racily fail
t5504, as we sometimes die() and sometimes are killed by
SIGPIPE.
So let's ignore SIGPIPE while demuxing the sideband. We are
already careful to check the return value of write(), so we
won't waste time writing to a broken pipe. The caller will
notice the error return from the async thread, though in
practice we don't even get that far, as we die() as soon as
we see that index-pack failed.
The non-sideband case is already fine; we let index-pack
read straight from the socket, so there is no SIGPIPE at
all. Technically the non-threaded async case is also OK
without this (the forked async process gets SIGPIPE), but
it's not worth distinguishing from the threaded case here.

write_or_die: handle EPIPE in async threads
When write_or_die() sees EPIPE, it treats it specially by
converting it into a SIGPIPE death. We obviously cannot
ignore it, as the write has failed and the caller expects us
to die. But likewise, we cannot just call die(), because
printing any message at all would be a nuisance during
normal operations.
However, this is a problem if write_or_die() is called from
a thread. Our raised signal ends up killing the whole
process, when logically we just need to kill the thread
(after all, if we are ignoring SIGPIPE, there is good reason
to think that the main thread is expecting to handle it).
Inside an async thread, the die() code already does the
right thing, because we use our custom die_async() routine,
which calls pthread_join(). So ideally we would piggy-back
on that, and simply call:
die_quietly_with_code(141);
or similar. But refactoring the die code to do this is
surprisingly non-trivial. The die_routines themselves handle
both printing and the decision of the exit code. Every one
of them would have to be modified to take new parameters for
the code, and to tell us to be quiet.
Instead, we can just teach write_or_die() to check for the
async case and handle it specially. We do have to build an
interface to abstract the async exit, but it's simple and
self-contained. If we had many call-sites that wanted to do
this die_quietly_with_code(), this approach wouldn't scale
as well, but we don't. This is the only place where do this
weird exit trick.

use_pack: handle signed off_t overflow
A v2 pack index file can specify an offset within a packfile
of up to 2^64-1 bytes. On a system with a signed 64-bit
off_t, we can represent only up to 2^63-1. This means that a
corrupted .idx file can end up with a negative offset in the
pack code. Our bounds-checking use_pack function looks for
too-large offsets, but not for ones that have wrapped around
to negative. Let's do so, which fixes an out-of-bounds

nth_packed_object_offset: bounds-check extended offset
If a pack .idx file has a corrupted offset for an object, we
may try to access an offset in the .idx or .pack file that
is larger than the file's size. For the .pack case, we have
use_pack() to protect us, which realizes the access is out
of bounds. But if the corrupted value asks us to look in the
.idx file's secondary 64-bit offset table, we blindly add it
to the mmap'd index data and access arbitrary memory.
We can fix this with a simple bounds-check compared to the
size we found when we opened the .idx file.
Note that there's similar code in index-pack that is
triggered only during "index-pack --verify". To support
both, we pull the bounds-check into a separate function,
which dies when it sees a corrupted file.
It would be nice if we could return an error, so that the
pack code could try to find a good copy of the object
elsewhere. Currently nth_packed_object_offset doesn't have
any way to return an error, but it could probably use "0" as
a sentinel value (since no object can start there). This is
the minimal fix, and we can improve the resilience later on
top.

Our on-disk .pack and .idx files may reference other data by

This patch adds a series of tests for offsets found in .pack

there are two tests of .idx files marked as failures: we do
not bounds-check offsets in the v2 index's extended offset
table, nor do we handle .idx offsets that overflow a signed

push: remove "push.default is unset" warning message
The warning was important before the 2.0 transition, and remained
important for a while after, so that new users get push.default
explicitly in their configuration and do not experience inconsistent
behavior if they ever used an older version of Git.
The warning has been there since version 1.8.0 (Oct 2012), hence we can
expect the vast majority of current Git users to have been exposed to
it, and most of them have already set push.default explicitly. The
switch from 'matching' to 'simple' was planned for 2.0 (May 2014), but
actually happened only for 2.3 (Feb 2015).
Today, the warning is mostly seen by beginners, who have not set their
push.default configuration (yet). For many of them, the warning is
confusing because it talks about concepts that they have not learned and
asks them a choice that they are not able to make yet. See for example
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/
13148066/warning-push-default-is-unset-its-implicit-value-is-changing-in-git-2-0
(1260 votes for the question, 1824 for the answer as of writing)
Remove the warning completely to avoid disturbing beginners. People who
still occasionally use an older version of Git will be exposed to the
warning through this old version.
Eventually, versions of Git without the warning will be deployed enough
and tutorials will not need to advise setting push.default anymore.

submodule: try harder to fetch needed sha1 by direct fetching sha1
When reviewing a change that also updates a submodule in Gerrit, a
common review practice is to download and cherry-pick the patch
locally to test it. However when testing it locally, the 'git
submodule update' may fail fetching the correct submodule sha1 as
the corresponding commit in the submodule is not yet part of the
project history, but also just a proposed change.
If $sha1 was not part of the default fetch, we try to fetch the $sha1
directly. Some servers however do not support direct fetch by sha1,
which leads git-fetch to fail quickly. We can fail ourselves here as
the still missing sha1 would lead to a failure later in the checkout
stage anyway, so failing here is as good as we can get.

convert.c: correct attr_action()
df747b81 (convert.c: refactor crlf_action, 2016-02-10) introduced a
bug to "git ls-files --eol".
The "text" attribute was shown as "text eol=lf" or "text eol=crlf",
depending on core.autocrlf or core.eol.
Correct this and add test cases in t0027.

xdiff: drop XDL_EMIT_COMMON
There are no more callers that use this mode, and none
likely to be added (as our xdl_merge() eliminates the common
use of it for generating 3-way merge bases).
This is effectively a revert of
a9ed376 (xdiff: generate
"anti-diffs" aka what is common to two files, 2006-06-28),
though of course trying to revert that ancient commit
directly produces many textual conflicts.

merge-tree: drop generate_common strategy
When merge_blobs sees an add/add conflict, it tries to
create a virtual base object for the 3-way merge that
consists of the common lines of each file. It inherited this
strategy from merge-one-file in
0c79938 (Improved three-way
blob merging code, 2006-06-28), and the point is to minimize
the size of the conflict hunks. That commit talks about "if
libxdiff were to ever grow a compatible three-way merge, it
could probably be directly plugged in".
That has long since happened. So as with merge-one-file in
the previous commit, this extra step is no longer necessary.
Our 3-way merge code is smart enough to do the minimizing
itself if we simply feed it an empty base, which is what the
more modern merge-recursive strategy already does.
Not only does this let us drop some code, but it removes an
overflow bug in generate_common_file(). We allocate a buffer
as large as the smallest of the two blobs, under the
assumption that there cannot be more common content than
what is in the smaller blob. However, xdiff may feed us
more: if neither file ends in a newline, it feeds us the
"\nNo newline at end of file" marker as common content, and
we write it into the output. If the differences between the
files are small than that string, we overflow the output
buffer. This patch solves it by simply dropping the buggy
code entirely.
