Users sometimes provide a "username:password" combination in their
plaintext URLs. Since Git stores these URLs in plaintext in the
.git/config file, this is a very insecure way of storing these
credentials. Credential managers are a more secure way of storing this
information.
System administrators might want to prevent this kind of use by users on
their machines.
Create a new "fetch.credentialsInUrl" config option and teach Git to
warn or die when seeing a URL with this kind of information. The warning
anonymizes the sensitive information of the URL to be clear about the
issue.
This change currently defaults the behavior to "allow" which does
nothing with these URLs. We can consider changing this behavior to
"warn" by default if we wish. At that time, we may want to add some
advice about setting fetch.credentialsInUrl=ignore for users who still
want to follow this pattern (and not receive the warning).
An earlier version of this change injected the logic into
url_normalize() in urlmatch.c. While most code paths that parse URLs
eventually normalize the URL, that normalization does not happen early
enough in the stack to avoid attempting connections to the URL first. By
inserting a check into the remote validation, we identify the issue
before making a connection. In the old code path, this was revealed by
testing the new t5601-clone.sh test under --stress, resulting in an
instance where the return code was 13 (SIGPIPE) instead of 128 from the
die().
However, we can reuse the parsing information from url_normalize() in
order to benefit from its well-worn parsing logic. We can use the struct
url_info that is created in that method to replace the password with
"<redacted>" in our error messages. This comes with a slight downside
that the normalized URL might look slightly different from the input URL
(for instance, the normalized version adds a closing slash). This should
not hinder users figuring out what the problem is and being able to fix
the issue.
As an attempt to ensure the parsing logic did not catch any
unintentional cases, I modified this change locally to to use the "die"
option by default. Running the test suite succeeds except for the
explicit username:password URLs used in t5550-http-fetch-dumb.sh and
t5541-http-push-smart.sh. This means that all other tested URLs did not
trigger this logic.
The tests show that the proper error messages appear (or do not
appear), but also count the number of error messages. When only warning,
each process validates the remote URL and outputs a warning. This
happens twice for clone, three times for fetch, and once for push.

There are existing uses of BUG() in adjacent code that should have
been using optbug() that aren't being changed here. That'll be done in

Add a bug() function to use in cases where we'd like to indicate a
runtime BUG(), but would like to defer the BUG() call because we're
possibly accumulating more bug() callers to exhaustively indicate what
went wrong.
We already have this sort of facility in various parts of the
codebase, just in the form of ad-hoc re-inventions of the
functionality that this new API provides. E.g. this will be used to
replace optbug() in parse-options.c, and the 'error("BUG:[...]' we do
in a loop in builtin/receive-pack.c.
Unlike the code this replaces we'll log to trace2 with this new bug()
function (as with other usage.c functions, including BUG()), we'll
also be able to avoid calls to xstrfmt() in some cases, as the bug()
function itself accepts variadic sprintf()-like arguments.
Any caller to bug() can follow up such calls with BUG_if_bug(),
which will BUG() out (i.e. abort()) if there were any preceding calls
to bug(), callers can also decide not to call BUG_if_bug() and leave
the resulting BUG() invocation until exit() time. There are currently
no bug() API users that don't call BUG_if_bug() themselves after a
for-loop, but allowing for not calling BUG_if_bug() keeps the API
flexible. As the tests and documentation here show we'll catch missing
BUG_if_bug() invocations in our exit() wrapper.

Change the exit() wrapper added in ee4512ed48 (trace2: create new
combined trace facility, 2019-02-22) so that we'll split up the trace2
logging concerns from wanting to wrap the "exit()" function itself for
other purposes.
This makes more sense structurally, as we won't seem to conflate
non-trace2 behavior with the trace2 code. I'd previously added an
explanation for this in 368b584315 (common-main.c: call exit(), don't
return, 2021-12-07), that comment is being adjusted here.
Now the only thing we'll do if we're not using trace2 is to truncate
the "code" argument to the lowest 8 bits.
We only need to do that truncation on non-POSIX systems, but in
ee4512ed48 that "if defined(__MINGW32__)" code added in
47e3de0e79 (MinGW: truncate exit()'s argument to lowest 8 bits,

to narrow that down by an "ifdef" again, but I'm not certain that in
the interim we haven't had some other non-POSIX systems rely the
behavior. On a POSIX system taking the lowest 8 bits is implicit, see
exit(3)[1] and wait(2)[2]. Let's leave a comment about that instead.

According to the HTML Standard FAQ:
“What is the DOCTYPE for modern HTML documents?
In text/html documents:
<!DOCTYPE html>
In documents delivered with an XML media type: no DOCTYPE is required
and its use is generally unnecessary. However, you may use one if you
want (see the following question). Note that the above is well-formed
XML.”
Source: [1]
Gitweb uses an XHTML 1.0 DOCTYPE:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
While that DOCTYPE is still valid [2], it has several disadvantages:
1. It’s misleading. If an XML parser uses the DTD at the given link,
then the entities and ⋅ won’t get declared. Instead, the
parser has to use a DTD from the HTML Standard that has nothing to do
with XHTML 1.0 [2].
2. It’s obsolete. XHTML 1.0 was last revised in 2002 and was superseded in
2018 [3].
3. It’s unreliable. Gitweb uses and ⋅ but lets an external file
define them. “[…U]using entity references for characters in XML documents
is unsafe if they are defined in an external file (except for <, >,
&, ", and ').” [4]

4a2dcb1a08 (remote: die if branch is not found in repository,
2021-11-17) introduced a regression where multiple config entries with
an empty branch name, e.g.
[branch ""]
remote = foo
merge = bar
could cause Git to fail when it tries to look up branch tracking
information.
We parse the config key to get (branch name, branch name length), but
when the branch name subsection is empty, we get a bogus branch name,
e.g. "branch..remote" gives (".remote", 0). We continue to use the bogus
branch name as if it were valid, and prior to 4a2dcb1a08, this wasn't an
issue because length = 0 caused the branch name to effectively be ""
everywhere.
However, that commit handles length = 0 inconsistently when we create
the branch:
- When find_branch() is called to check if the branch exists in the
branch hash map, it interprets a length of 0 to mean that it should
call strlen on the char pointer.
- But the code path that inserts into the branch hash map interprets a
length of 0 to mean that the string is 0-length.
This results in the bug described above:
- "branch..remote" looks for ".remote" in the branch hash map. Since we
do not find it, we insert the "" entry into the hash map.
- "branch..merge" looks for ".merge" in the branch hash map. Since we
do not find it, we again try to insert the "" entry into the hash map.
However, the entries in the branch hash map are supposed to be
appended to, not overwritten.
- Since overwriting an entry is a BUG(), Git fails instead of silently
ignoring the empty branch name.
Fix the bug by removing the convenience strlen functionality, so that
0 means that the string is 0-length. We still insert a bogus branch name
into the hash map, but this will be fixed in a later commit.

As 'revert' and 'cherry-pick' share a lot of code, it is easy to
modify the behaviour of one command and inadvertently affect the

'revert.reference' configuration variable to the former was not
careful enough and 'cherry-pick --reference' wasn't rejected as an
error.
It is possible to think 'cherry-pick -x' might benefit from the
'--reference' option, but it is fundamentally different from
'revert' in at least two ways to make it questionable:
- 'revert' names a commit that is ancestor of the resulting commit,
so an abbreviated object name with human readable title is
sufficient to identify the named commit uniquely without using
the full object name. On the other hand, 'cherry-pick'
usually [*] picks a commit that is not an ancestor. It might be
even picking a private commit that never becomes part of the
public history.
- The whole commit message of 'cherry-pick' is a copy of the
original commit, and there is nothing gained to repeat only the
title part on 'cherry-picked from' message.
[*] well, you could revert and then you can pick the original that
was reverted to get back to where you were, but then you can

Over the course of Scalar's development, it became obvious that there is
a need for a command that can gather all kinds of useful information
that can help identify the most typical problems with large
worktrees/repositories.
The `diagnose` command is the culmination of this hard-won knowledge: it
gathers the installed hooks, the config, a couple statistics describing
the data shape, among other pieces of information, and then wraps
everything up in a tidy, neat `.zip` archive.
Note: originally, Scalar was implemented in C# using the .NET API, where
we had the luxury of a comprehensive standard library that includes
basic functionality such as writing a `.zip` file. In the C version, we
lack such a commodity. Rather than introducing a dependency on, say,
libzip, we slightly abuse Git's `archive` machinery: we write out a
`.zip` of the empty try, augmented by a couple files that are added via
the `--add-file*` options. We are careful trying not to modify the
current repository in any way lest the very circumstances that required
`scalar diagnose` to be run are changed by the `diagnose` run itself.

intention was to let the extra element to match everything and let
the negative ones given by the user to subtract from it.
At around the same time, we were migrating from "an empty string is
a valid pathspec element that matches everything" to "either a dot
or ":/" is used to match all, and an empty string is rejected",
between d426430e (pathspec: warn on empty strings as pathspec,
2016-06-22) and 9e4e8a64 (pathspec: die on empty strings as
pathspec, 2017-06-06). I think 9e4e8a64, which happened long after
859b7f1d happened, was not careful enough to turn the empty string
859b7f1d added to either a dot or ":/".
A care should be taken as the definition of "everything" depends on
subcommand. For the purpose of "add -p", adding a "." to add
everything in the current directory is the right thing to do. But
for some other commands, ":/" (i.e. really really everything, even
things outside the current subdirectory) is the right choice.
We would break commands in a big way if we get this wrong, so add a
handful of test pieces to make sure the resulting code still
excludes the paths that are expected and includes "everything" else.

In http.c, the run_active_slot() function allows the given "slot" to
make progress by calling step_active_slots() in a loop repeatedly,
and the loop is not left until the request held in the slot
completes.
Ages ago, we used to use the slot->in_use member to get out of the
loop, which misbehaved when the request in "slot" completes (at
which time, the result of the request is copied away from the slot,
and the in_use member is cleared, making the slot ready to be
reused), and the "slot" gets reused to service a different request
(at which time, the "slot" becomes in_use again, even though it is
for a different request). The loop terminating condition mistakenly
thought that the original request has yet to be completed.
Today's code, after baa7b67d (HTTP slot reuse fixes, 2006-03-10)
fixed this issue, uses a separate "slot->finished" member that is
set in run_active_slot() to point to an on-stack variable, and the
code that completes the request in finish_active_slot() clears the
on-stack variable via the pointer to signal that the particular
request held by the slot has completed. It also clears the in_use
member (as before that fix), so that the slot itself can safely be
reused for an unrelated request.
One thing that is not quite clean in this arrangement is that,
unless the slot gets reused, at which point the finished member is
reset to NULL, the member keeps the value of &finished, which
becomes a dangling pointer into the stack when run_active_slot()
returns. Clear the finished member before the control leaves the
function, which has a side effect of unconfusing compilers like
recent GCC 12 that is over-eager to warn against such an assignment.

It seems there is no reason to return 1 instead of -1 when push_refs()
is not set in transport vtable. Let's unify the error return values and
use the done label as a single exit point from transport_push().

A typical "git revert" commit uses the full title of the original
commit in its title, and starts its body of the message with:
This reverts commit 8fa7f667cf61386257c00d6e954855cc3215ae91.
This does not encourage the best practice of describing not just
"what" (i.e. "Revert X" on the title says what we did) but "why"
(i.e. and it does not say why X was undesirable).
We can instead phrase this first line of the body to be more like
This reverts commit 8fa7f667 (do this and that, 2022-04-25)
so that the title does not have to be
Revert "do this and that"
We can instead use the title to describe "why" we are reverting the
original commit.
Introduce the "--reference" option to "git revert", and also the
revert.reference configuration variable, which defaults to false, to
tweak the title and the first line of the draft commit message for
when creating a "revert" commit.
When this option is in use, the first line of the pre-filled editor
buffer becomes a comment line that tells the user to say _why_. If
the user exits the editor without touching this line by mistake,
what we prepare to become the first line of the body, i.e. "This
reverts commit 8fa7f667 (do this and that, 2022-04-25)", ends up to
be the title of the resulting commit. This behaviour is designed to
help such a user to identify such a revert in "git log --oneline"
easily so that it can be further reworded with "git rebase -i" later.

Refactor the tests that exercise implicit shutdown cases
to make them more robust and less racy.
The fsmonitor--daemon will implicitly shutdown in a variety
of situations, such as when the ".git" directory is deleted
or renamed.
The existing tests would delete or rename the directory, sleep
for one second, and then check the status of the daemon. This
is racy, since the client/status command has no way to sync
with the daemon. This was noticed occasionally on very slow
CI build machines where it would cause a random test to fail.
Replace the simple sleep with a sleep-and-retry loop.
