Because Git tracks symbolic links as symbolic links, a path that
has a symbolic link in its leading part (e.g. path/to/dir/file,
where path/to/dir is a symbolic link to somewhere else, be it
inside or outside the working tree) can never appear in a patch
that validly applies, unless the same patch first removes the
symbolic link to allow a directory to be created there.
Detect and reject such a patch.
Things to note:
- Unfortunately, we cannot reuse the has_symlink_leading_path()
from dir.c, as that is only about the working tree, but "git
apply" can be told to apply the patch only to the index or to
both the index and to the working tree.
- We cannot directly use has_symlink_leading_path() even when we
are applying only to the working tree, as an early patch of a
valid input may remove a symbolic link path/to/dir and then a
later patch of the input may create a path path/to/dir/file, but
"git apply" first checks the input without touching either the
index or the working tree. The leading symbolic link check must
be done on the interim result we compute in-core (i.e. after the
first patch, there is no path/to/dir symbolic link and it is
perfectly valid to create path/to/dir/file).
Similarly, when an input creates a symbolic link path/to/dir and
then creates a file path/to/dir/file, we need to flag it as an
error without actually creating path/to/dir symbolic link in the
filesystem.
Instead, for any patch in the input that leaves a path (i.e. a non
deletion) in the result, we check all leading paths against the
resulting tree that the patch would create by inspecting all the
patches in the input and then the target of patch application
(either the index or the working tree).
This way, we catch a mischief or a mistake to add a symbolic link
path/to/dir and a file path/to/dir/file at the same time, while
allowing a valid patch that removes a symbolic link path/to/dir and
then adds a file path/to/dir/file.

We should reject a patch, whether it renames/copies dir/file to
elsewhere with or without modificiation, or updates dir/file in
place, if "dir/" part is actually a symbolic link to elsewhere,
by making sure that the code to read the preimage does not read
from a path that is beyond a symbolic link.

We currently read the preimage to apply a patch from the index only
when the --cached option is given. Do so also when the command is
running under the --index option. With --index, the index entry and
the working tree file for a path that is involved in a patch must be
identical, so this should not affect the result, but by reading from
the index, we will get the protection to avoid reading an unintended
path beyond a symbolic link automatically.

By default, a patch that affects outside the working area (either a
Git controlled working tree, or the current working directory when
"git apply" is used as a replacement of GNU patch) is rejected as a
mistake (or a mischief). Git itself does not create such a patch,
unless the user bends over backwards and specifies a non-standard
prefix to "git diff" and friends.
When `git apply` is used as a "better GNU patch", the user can pass
the `--unsafe-paths` option to override this safety check. This
option has no effect when `--index` or `--cached` is in use.
The new test was stolen from Jeff King with slight enhancements.
Note that a few new tests for touching outside the working area by
following a symbolic link are still expected to fail at this step,
but will be fixed in later steps.

Under --whitespace=fix option, match_fragment() function examines
the preimage (the common context and the removed lines in the patch)
and the file being patched and checks if they match after correcting
all whitespace errors. When they are found to match, the common
context lines in the preimage is replaced with the fixed copy,
because these lines will then be copied to the corresponding place
in the postimage by a later call to update_pre_post_images(). Lines
that are added in the postimage, under --whitespace=fix, have their
whitespace errors already fixed when apply_one_fragment() prepares
the preimage and the postimage, so in the end, application of the
patch can be done by replacing the block of text in the file being
patched that matched the preimage with what is in the postimage that
was updated by update_pre_post_images().
In the earlier days, fixing whitespace errors always resulted in
reduction of size, either collapsing runs of spaces in the indent to
a tab or removing the trailing whitespaces. These days, however,
some whitespace error fix results in extending the size.
250b3c6c (apply --whitespace=fix: avoid running over the postimage
buffer, 2013-03-22) tried to compute the final postimage size but
its math was flawed. It counted the size of the block of text in
the original being patched after fixing the whitespace errors on its
lines that correspond to the preimage. That number does not have
much to do with how big the final postimage would be.
Instead count (1) the added lines in the postimage, whose size is
the same as in the final patch result because their whitespace
errors have already been corrected, and (2) the fixed size of the
lines that are common.

"git apply --whitespace=fix" used to be able to assume that fixing
errors will always reduce the size by e.g. stripping whitespaces at
the end of lines or collapsing runs of spaces into tabs at the
beginning of lines. An update to accomodate fixes that lengthens
the result by e.g. expanding leading tabs into spaces were made long
time ago but the logic miscounted the necessary space after such
whitespace fixes, leading to either under-allocation or over-usage
of already allocated space.
Illustrate this with a runtime sanity-check to protect us from
future breakage. The test was stolen from Kyle McKay who helped
to identify the problem.

The code handling %(upstream:track) and %(upstream:trackshort)
assumed that it always had a valid branch that had been sanitized
earlier in populate_value(), and thus did not check the return value
of the call to stat_tracking_info().
While there is indeed some sanitization code that basically
corresponds to stat_tracking_info() returning 0 (no base branch
set), the function can also return -1 when the base branch did exist
but has since then been deleted.
In this case, num_ours and num_theirs had undefined values and a
call to `git for-each-ref --format="%(upstream:track)"` could print
spurious values such as
[behind -111794512]
[ahead 38881640, behind 5103867]
even for repositories with one single commit.
Verify stat_tracking_info()'s return value and do not print anything
if it returns -1. This behavior also matches the documentation ("has
no effect if the ref does not have tracking information associated
with it").

fetched into a shallow repository, but the change affected cases
other than "fetching into a shallow repository" and made it

- "exec_cmd.h" became unnecessary at b931aa5a (Call builtin ls-tree

that delegated tree display to "ls-tree" via the run_command()
API (hence needing "exec_cmd.h") to call cmd_ls_tree() directly.
We should have removed the include in the same commit, but we
forgot to do so.
- "diff.h" was added at e5fba602 (textconv: support for cat_file,
2010-06-15), together with "userdiff.h", but "userdiff.h" can be
included without including "diff.h"; the header was unnecessary
from the beginning.
- "tag.h" and "tree.h" were necessary since 8e440259 (Use blob_,
commit_, tag_, and tree_type throughout., 2006-04-02) to check
the type of object by comparing typename with tree_type and
tag_type (pointers to extern strings).
21666f1a (convert object type handling from a string to a number,
2007-02-26) made these <type>_type strings unnecessary, and it
could have switched to include "object.h", which is necessary to
use typename(), but it forgot to do so. Because "tag.h" and
"tree.h" include "object.h", it did not need to explicitly
include "object.h" in order to start using typename() itself.
We do not even have to include "object.h" after removing these
two #includes, because "builtin.h" includes "commit.h" which in
turn includes "object.h" these days. This happened at 7b9c0a69

The parse_options API expects an array of alternative usage lines
to which it automatically ads the language-appropriate "or" when
displaying. Each of these options is marked for translation with N_
and then later translated when gettext is called on each element
of the array.
Since the N_ macro just expands to its argument, if two N_-marked
strings appear next to each other without being separated by anything
else such as a comma, the preprocessor will join them into one string.
In that case two separate strings get marked for translation, but at
runtime they have been joined into a single string passed to gettext
which then fails to get translated because the combined string was
never marked for translation.
Fix this by properly separating the two N_ marked strings with
a comma and removing the embedded "\n" and " or:" that are
properly supplied by the parse_options API.

checkout-index --temp only properly prints relative paths which are
descendants of the current directory. Paths in ancestor or sibling
directories (or their children) are often printed in mangled form. For
example:
mkdir a bbb &&
>file &&
>bbb/file &&
git update-index --add file bbb/file &&
cd a &&
git checkout-index --temp ../file ../bbb/file
prints:
.merge_file_ooblek le
.merge_file_igloo0 b/file
rather than the correct:
.merge_file_ooblek ../file
.merge_file_igloo0 ../bbb/file
Internally, given the above example, checkout-index prefixes each input
argument with the name of the current directory ("a/", in this case),
and then assumes that it can simply skip forward by strlen("a/") bytes
to recover the original name. This works for files in the current
directory or its descendants, but fails for files in ancestors or
siblings (or their children) due to path normalization.
For instance, given "../file", "a/" is prepended, giving "a/../file".
Path normalization folds out "a/../", resulting in "file". Attempting
to recover the original name by skipping strlen("a/") bytes gives the
incorrect "le" rather than the desired "../file".
Fix this by taking advantage of write_name_quoted_relative() to recover
the original name properly, rather than assuming that it can be
recovered by skipping strlen(prefix) bytes.
As a bonus, this also fixes a bug in which checkout-index --temp
accessed and printed memory beyond the end-of-string. For instance,
within a subdirectory named "subdirectory", and given argument
"../file", prefixing would give "subdirectory/../file", which would
become "file" after normalization. checkout-index would then attempt to
recover the original name by skipping strlen("subdirectory/") bytes of
"file", which placed it well beyond end-of-string. Despite this error,
it often appeared to give the correct result, but only due to an
accident of implementation which left an apparently correct copy of the
path in memory following the normalized value. In particular, handed
"subdirectory/../file", in-place processing by normalize_path_copy_len()
resulted in "file\0rectory/../file". When checkout-index skipped
strlen("subdirectory/") bytes, it ended up back at "../file" and thus
appeared to give the correct answer, despite being past end-of-string.

When fetching into or pushing from a shallow repository, we want to
aggressively mark edges as uninteresting, since this decreases the pack
size. However, aggressively marking edges can negatively affect
performance on large non-shallow repositories with lots of refs.
Teach pack-objects a --shallow option to indicate that we're pushing
from or fetching into a shallow repository. Use
--objects-edge-aggressive only for shallow repositories and otherwise
use --objects-edge, which performs better in the general case. Update
the callers to pass the --shallow option when they are dealing with a

of edges uninteresting. This change, and the subsequent change to make

smaller packs for shallow clones.
Unfortunately, they cause a significant performance regression when
pushing non-shallow clones with lots of refs (23.322 seconds vs.
4.785 seconds with 22400 refs). Add an option to git rev-list,
--objects-edge-aggressive, that preserves this more aggressive behavior,
while leaving --objects-edge to provide more performant behavior.
