Compression programs like zip, gzip, bzip2 and xz allow to adjust the
trade-off between CPU cost and size gain with numerical options from -1
for fast compression and -9 for high compression ratio. zip also
accepts -0 for storing files verbatim. git archive directly support
these single-digit compression levels for ZIP output and passes them to
filters like gzip.
Zstandard additionally supports compression level options -10 to -19, or
up to -22 with --ultra. This *seems* to work with git archive in most
cases, e.g. it will produce an archive with -19 without complaining, but
since it only supports single-digit compression level options this is
the same as -1 -9 and thus -9.
Allow git archive to accept multi-digit compression levels to support
the full range supported by zstd. Explicitly reject them for the ZIP
format, as otherwise deflateInit2() would just fail with a somewhat
cryptic "stream consistency error".

We return the length to a subset of a string using an "int *"
out-parameter. This is fine most of the time, as we'd expect config keys
to be relatively short, but it could behave oddly if we had a gigantic
config key. A more appropriate type is size_t.
Let's switch over, which lets our callers use size_t as appropriate
(they are bound by our type because they must pass the out-parameter as
a pointer). This is mostly just a cleanup to make it clear this code
handles long strings correctly. In practice, our config parser already
chokes on long key names (because of a similar int/size_t mixup!).
When doing an int/size_t conversion, we have to be careful that nobody
was trying to assign a negative value to the variable. I manually
confirmed that for each case here. They tend to just feed the result to
xmemdupz() or similar; in a few cases I adjusted the parameter types for
helper functions to make sure the size_t is preserved.

Some callers of open_istream() at archive-tar.c and archive-zip.c are
capable of working on arbitrary repositories but the repo struct is not
passed down to open_istream(), which uses the_repository internally. For
now, that's not a problem since the said callers are only being called

let's allow open_istream() to receive a struct repository and use that

A pax extended header record starts with a decimal number. Its value
is the length of the whole record, including its own length.
The calculation of that number in strbuf_append_ext_header() is off by
one in case the length of the rest is close to a higher order of
magnitude. This affects paths and link targets a bit shorter than 1000,
10000, 100000 etc. characters -- paths with a length of up to 100 fit
into the tar header and don't need a pax extended header.
The mistake has been present since the function was added by ae64bbc18c
("tar-tree: Introduce write_entry()", 2006-03-25).

Commit dddbad728c ("timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps",
26-04-2017) introduced a new typedef 'timestamp_t', as a synonym for an
unsigned long, which was used at the time to represent timestamps in
git. A later commit 28f4aee3fb ("use uintmax_t for timestamps",
26-04-2017) changed the typedef to use an 'uintmax_t' for the timestamp
representation type.
When building on a 32-bit Linux system, sparse complains that a constant
(USTAR_MAX_MTIME) used to detect a 'far-future mtime' timestamp, is too
large; 'warning: constant 077777777777UL is so big it is unsigned long
long' on lines 335 and 338 of archive-tar.c. Note that both gcc and
clang only issue a warning if this constant is used in a context that
requires an 'unsigned long' (rather than an uintmax_t). (Since TIME_MAX
is no longer equal to 0xFFFFFFFF, even on a 32-bit system, the macro
USTAR_MAX_MTIME is set to 077777777777UL, which cannot be represented as
an 'unsigned long' constant).
In order to suppress the warning, change the definition of the macro
constant USTAR_MAX_MTIME to use an 'ULL' type suffix.
In a similar vein, on systems which use a 64-bit representation of the
'unsigned long' type, the USTAR_MAX_SIZE constant macro is defined with
the value 077777777777ULL. Although this does not cause any warning
messages to be issued, it would be more appropriate for this constant
to use an 'UL' type suffix rather than 'ULL'.

Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as
time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular
where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit
versions).
So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation
for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type.
By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all
timestamps' data type in one go.
As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`,
we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the
system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

The ustar format represents timestamps as seconds since the
epoch, but only has room to store 11 octal digits. To
express anything larger, we need to use an extended header.
This is exactly the same case we fixed for the size field in
the previous commit, and the solution here follows the same
pattern.
This is even mentioned as an issue in f2f0267 (archive-tar:
use xsnprintf for trivial formatting, 2015-09-24), but since
it only affected things far in the future, it wasn't deemed
worth dealing with. But note that my calculations claiming
thousands of years were off there; because our xsnprintf
produces a NUL byte, we only have until the year 2242 to fix
this.
Given that this is just around the corner (geologically
speaking, anyway), and because it's easy to fix, let's just
make it work. Unlike the previous fix for "size", where we
had to write an individual extended header for each file, we
can write one global header (since we have only one mtime
for the whole archive).
There's a slight bit of trickiness there. We may already be
writing a global header with a "comment" field for the
commit sha1. So we need to write our new field into the same
header. To do this, we push the decision of whether to write
such a header down into write_global_extended_header(),
which will now assemble the header as it sees fit, and will
return early if we have nothing to write (in practice, we'll
only have a large mtime if it comes from a commit, but this
makes it also work if you set your system clock ahead such
that time() returns a huge value).
Note that we don't (and never did) handle negative
timestamps (i.e., before 1970). This would probably not be
too hard to support in the same way, but since git does not
support negative timestamps at all, I didn't bother here.
After writing the extended header, we munge the timestamp in
the ustar headers to the maximum-allowable size. This is
wrong, but it's the least-wrong thing we can provide to a
tar implementation that doesn't understand pax headers (it's
also what GNU tar does).

The ustar format has a fixed-length field for the size of
each file entry which is supposed to contain up to 11 bytes
of octal-formatted data plus a NUL or space terminator.
These means that the largest size we can represent is
077777777777, or 1 byte short of 8GB. The correct solution
for a larger file, according to POSIX.1-2001, is to add an
extended pax header, similar to how we handle long
filenames. This patch does that, and writes zero for the
size field in the ustar header (the last bit is not
mentioned by POSIX, but it matches how GNU tar behaves with
--format=pax).
This should be a strict improvement over the current
behavior, which is to die in xsnprintf with a "BUG".
However, there's some interesting history here.
Prior to f2f0267 (archive-tar: use xsnprintf for trivial
formatting, 2015-09-24), we silently overflowed the "size"
field. The extra bytes ended up in the "mtime" field of the
header, which was then immediately written itself,
overwriting our extra bytes. What that means depends on how
many bytes we wrote.
If the size was 64GB or greater, then we actually overflowed
digits into the mtime field, meaning our value was
effectively right-shifted by those lost octal digits. And
this patch is again a strict improvement over that.
But if the size was between 8GB and 64GB, then our 12-byte
field held all of the actual digits, and only our NUL
terminator overflowed. According to POSIX, there should be a
NUL or space at the end of the field. However, GNU tar seems
to be lenient here, and will correctly parse a size up 64GB
(minus one) from the field. So sizes in this range might
have just worked, depending on the implementation reading
the tarfile.
This patch is mostly still an improvement there, as the 8GB
limit is specifically mentioned in POSIX as the correct
limit. But it's possible that it could be a regression
(versus the pre-f2f0267 state) if all of the following are
true:
1. You have a file between 8GB and 64GB.
2. Your tar implementation _doesn't_ know about pax
extended headers.
3. Your tar implementation _does_ parse 12-byte sizes from
the ustar header without a delimiter.
It's probably not worth worrying about such an obscure set
of conditions, but I'm documenting it here just in case.

Commit f2f0267 (archive-tar: use xsnprintf for trivial
formatting, 2015-09-24) converted cases of "sprintf" to
"xsnprintf", but accidentally left one as just "snprintf".
This meant that we could silently truncate the resulting
buffer instead of flagging an error.
In practice, this is impossible to achieve, as we are
formatting a ustar checksum, which can be at most 7
characters. But the point of xsnprintf is to document and
check for "should be impossible" conditions; this site was
just accidentally mis-converted during f2f0267.

When we generate tar headers, we sprintf() values directly
into a struct with the fixed-size header values. For the
most part this is fine, as we are formatting small values
(e.g., the octal format of "mode & 0x7777" is of fixed
length). But it's still a good idea to use xsnprintf here.
It communicates to readers what our expectation is, and it
provides a run-time check that we are not overflowing the
buffers.
The one exception here is the mtime, which comes from the
epoch time of the commit we are archiving. For sane values,
this fits into the 12-byte value allocated in the header.
But since git can handle 64-bit times, if I claim to be a
visitor from the year 10,000 AD, I can overflow the buffer.
This turns out to be harmless, as we simply overflow into
the chksum field, which is then overwritten.
This case is also best as an xsnprintf. It should never come
up, short of extremely malformed dates, and in that case we
are probably better off dying than silently truncating the
date value (and we cannot expand the size of the buffer,
since it is dictated by the ustar format). Our friends in
the year 5138 (when we legitimately flip to a 12-digit
epoch) can deal with that problem then.

We sometimes sprintf into fixed-size buffers when we know
that the buffer is large enough to fit the input (either
because it's a constant, or because it's numeric input that
is bounded in size). Likewise with strcpy of constant
strings.
However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and
strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to
cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's
use xsnprintf instead, which communicates to a reader that
we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in
case we do).

The name field of a tar header has a size of 100 characters. This limit
was extended long ago in a backward compatible way by providing the
additional prefix field, which can hold 155 additional characters. The
actual path is constructed at extraction time by concatenating the prefix
field, a slash and the name field.
get_path_prefix() is used to determine which slash in the path is used as
the cutting point and thus which part of it is placed into the field
prefix and which into the field name. It tries to cram as much into the
prefix field as possible. (And only if we can't fit a path into the
provided 255 characters we use a pax extended header to store it.)
If a path is longer than 100 but shorter than 156 characters and ends
with a slash (i.e. is for a directory) then get_path_prefix() puts the
whole path in the prefix field and leaves the name field empty. GNU tar
reconstructs the path without complaint, but the tar included with
NetBSD 6 does not: It reports the header to be invalid.
For compatibility with this version of tar, make sure to never leave the
name field empty. In order to do that, trim the trailing slash from the
part considered as possible prefix, if it exists -- that way the last
path component (or more, but not less) will end up in the name field.

POSIX.1 (pax) is pretty clear on this:
The chksum field shall be the ISO/IEC 646:1991 standard IRV
representation of the octal value of the simple sum of all octets
in the header logical record. Each octet in the header shall be
treated as an unsigned value. These values shall be added to an
unsigned integer, initialized to zero, the precision of which is
not less than 17 bits. When calculating the checksum, the chksum
field is treated as if it were all <space> characters.
so is GNU:

For correctness, don't needlessly drop the const qualifier when casting.
