5b3c650777 config: learn git_protected_config()
`uploadpack.packObjectsHook` is the only 'protected configuration only'
variable today, but we've noted that `safe.directory` and the upcoming
`safe.bareRepository` should also be 'protected configuration only'. So,
for consistency, we'd like to have a single implementation for protected
configuration.

The primary constraints are:

1. Reading from protected configuration should be fast. Nearly all "git"
   commands inside a bare repository will read both `safe.directory` and
   `safe.bareRepository`, so we cannot afford to be slow.

2. Protected configuration must be readable when the gitdir is not
   known. `safe.directory` and `safe.bareRepository` both affect
   repository discovery and the gitdir is not known at that point [1].

The chosen implementation in this commit is to read protected
configuration and cache the values in a global configset. This is
similar to the caching behavior we get with the_repository->config.

Introduce git_protected_config(), which reads protected configuration
and caches them in the global configset protected_config. Then, refactor
`uploadpack.packObjectsHook` to use git_protected_config().

The protected configuration functions are named similarly to their
non-protected counterparts, e.g. git_protected_config_check_init() vs
git_config_check_init().

In light of constraint 1, this implementation can still be improved.
git_protected_config() iterates through every variable in
protected_config, which is wasteful, but it makes the conversion simple
because it matches existing patterns. We will likely implement constant
time lookup functions for protected configuration in a future series
(such functions already exist for non-protected configuration, i.e.
repo_config_get_*()).

An alternative that avoids introducing another configset is to continue
to read all config using git_config(), but only accept values that have
the correct config scope [2]. This technically fulfills constraint 2,
because git_config() simply ignores the local and worktree config when
the gitdir is not known. However, this would read incomplete config into
the_repository->config, which would need to be reset when the gitdir is
known and git_config() needs to read the local and worktree config.
Resetting the_repository->config might be reasonable while we only have
these 'protected configuration only' variables, but it's not clear
whether this extends well to future variables.

[1] In this case, we do have a candidate gitdir though, so with a little
refactoring, it might be possible to provide a gitdir.
[2] This is how `uploadpack.packObjectsHook` was implemented prior to
this commit.

1e0ea5c431 fsmonitor: config settings are repository-specific
Move fsmonitor config settings to a new and opaque
`struct fsmonitor_settings` structure.  Add a lazily-loaded pointer
to this into `struct repo_settings`

Create an `enum fsmonitor_mode` type in `struct fsmonitor_settings` to
represent the state of fsmonitor.  This lets us represent which, if
any, fsmonitor provider (hook or IPC) is enabled.

Create `fsm_settings__get_*()` getters to lazily look up fsmonitor-
related config settings.

Get rid of the `core_fsmonitor` global variable.  Move the code to
lookup the existing `core.fsmonitor` config value into the fsmonitor
settings.

Create a hook pathname variable in `struct fsmonitor-settings` and
only set it when in hook mode.

Extend the definition of `core.fsmonitor` to be either a boolean
or a hook pathname.  When true, the builtin FSMonitor is used.
When false or unset, no FSMonitor (neither builtin nor hook) is
used.

The existing `core_fsmonitor` global variable was used to store the
pathname to the fsmonitor hook *and* it was used as a boolean to see
if fsmonitor was enabled.  This dual usage and global visibility leads
to confusion when we add the IPC-based provider.  So lets hide the
details in fsmonitor-settings.c and let it decide which provider to
use in the case of multiple settings.  This avoids cluttering up
repo-settings.c with these private details.

A future commit in builtin-fsmonitor series will add the ability to
disqualify worktrees for various reasons, such as being mounted from a
remote volume, where fsmonitor should not be started.  Having the
config settings hidden in fsmonitor-settings.c allows such worktree
restrictions to override the config values used.

fe18733927 config: add repo_config_set_worktree_gently()
Some config settings, such as those for sparse-checkout, are likely
intended to only apply to one worktree at a time. To make this write
easier, add a new config API method, repo_config_set_worktree_gently().

This method will attempt to write to the worktree-specific config, but
will instead write to the common config file if worktree config is not

399b198489 config: include file if remote URL matches a glob
This is a feature that supports config file inclusion conditional on
whether the repo has a remote with a URL that matches a glob.

Similar to my previous work on remote-suggested hooks [1], the main
motivation is to allow remote repo administrators to provide recommended
configs in a way that can be consumed more easily (e.g. through a
package installable by a package manager - it could, for example,
contain a file to be included conditionally and a post-install script
that adds the include directive to the system-wide config file).

In order to do this, Git reruns the config parsing mechanism upon
noticing the first URL-conditional include in order to find all remote
URLs, and these remote URLs are then used to determine if that first and
all subsequent includes are executed. Remote URLs are not allowed to be
configued in any URL-conditionally-included file.

73c5f67071 config.c: remove unused git_config_key_is_valid()
The git_config_key_is_valid() function got left behind in a
refactoring in a9bcf6586d (alias: use the early config machinery to
expand aliases, 2017-06-14),

It previously had two users when it was added in 9e9de18f1a (config:
silence warnings for command names with invalid keys, 2015-08-24), and
after 6a1e1bc0a1 (pager: use callbacks instead of configset,
2016-09-12) only one remained.

By removing it we can get rid of the "quiet" branches in this
function, as well as cases where "store_key" is NULL, for which there
are no other users.

Out of the 5 callers of git_config_parse_key() only one needs to pass
a non-NULL "size_t *baselen_", so we could remove the third parameter
from the public interface. I did not find that potential
simplification to be worthwhile.

1e06eb9b5d config: unify code paths to get global config paths
There's two callsites which assemble global config paths, once in the
config loading code and once in the git-config(1) builtin. We're about
to implement a way to override global config paths via an environment
variable which would require us to adjust both sites.

Unify both code paths into a single `git_global_config()` function which
returns both paths for `~/.gitconfig` and the XDG config file. This will
make the subsequent patch which introduces the new envvar easier to
implement.

No functional changes are expected from this patch.

Rename the function to `git_system_config()` as a preparatory step.

ce81b1da23 config: add new way to pass config via --config-env
While it's already possible to pass runtime configuration via `git -c
<key>=<value>`, it may be undesirable to use when the value contains
sensitive information. E.g. if one wants to set `http.extraHeader` to
contain an authentication token, doing so via `-c` would trivially leak
those credentials via e.g. ps(1), which typically also shows command
arguments.

To enable this usecase without leaking credentials, this commit
introduces a new switch `--config-env=<key>=<envvar>`. Instead of
directly passing a value for the given key, it instead allows the user
to specify the name of an environment variable. The value of that
variable will then be used as value of the key.

c90702a1f6 config: plumb --fixed-value into config API
The git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently() and related methods now
take a 'flags' bitfield, so add a new bit representing the --fixed-value
option from 'git config'. This alters the purpose of the value_pattern
parameter to be an exact string match. This requires some initialization
changes in git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently() and a new strcmp()
call in the matches() method.

The new CONFIG_FLAGS_FIXED_VALUE flag is initialized in builtin/config.c
based on the --fixed-value option, and that needs to be updated in
several callers.

This patch only affects some of the modes of 'git config', and the rest
will be completed in the next change.

247e2f822e config: replace 'value_regex' with 'value_pattern'
The 'value_regex' argument in the 'git config' builtin is poorly named,
especially related to an upcoming change that allows exact string
matches instead of ERE pattern matches.

Perform a mostly mechanical change of every instance of 'value_regex' to
'value_pattern' in the codebase. This is only critical for documentation
and error messages, but it is best to be consistent inside the codebase,
too.

For documentation, use 'value-pattern' which is better punctuation. This
affects Documentation/git-config.txt and the usage in builtin/config.c,
which was already mixed between 'value_regex' and 'value-regex'.

I gave some thought to leaving the value_regex variables inside config.c
that are regex_t pointers. However, it is probably best to keep the name
consistent with the rest of the variables.

This does not update the translations inside the po/ directory, as that
creates conflicts with ongoing work. The input strings should
automatically update through automation, and a few of the output strings
currently use "[value_regex]" directly.

9a53219f69 config: drop git_config_get_string_const()
As evidenced by the leak fixes in the previous commit, the "const" in
git_config_get_string_const() clearly misleads people into thinking that
it does not allocate a copy of the string. We can fix this by renaming
it, but it's easier still to just drop it. Of the four remaining
callers:

  - The one in git_config_parse_expiry() still needs to allocate, since
    that's what its callers expect. We can just use the non-const
    version and cast our pointer. Slightly ugly, but the damage is
    contained in one spot.

  - The two in apply are writing to global "const char *" variables, and
    need to continue allocating. We often mark these as const because we
    assign default string literals to them. But in this case we don't do
    that, so we can just declare them as real "char *" pointers and use
    the non-const version.

  - The call in checkout doesn't actually need a copy; it can just use
    the non-allocating "tmp" version of the function.

The function is also mentioned in the MyFirstContribution document. We
can swap that call out for the non-allocating "tmp" variant, which fits
well in the example given.

We'll drop the "configset" and "repo" variants, as well (which are
unused).

Note that this frees up the "const" name, so we could rename the "tmp"
variant back to that. But let's give some time for topics in flight to
adapt to the new code before doing so (if we do it too soon, the
function semantics will change but the compiler won't alert us).

f1de981e8b config: fix leaks from git_config_get_string_const()
There are two functions to get a single config string:

  - git_config_get_string()

  - git_config_get_string_const()

One might naively think that the first one allocates a new string and
the second one just points us to the internal configset storage. But
in fact they both allocate a new copy; the second one exists only to
avoid having to cast when using it with a const global which we never
intend to free.

The documentation for the function explains that clearly, but it seems
I'm not alone in being surprised by this. Of 17 calls to the function,
13 of them leak the resulting value.

We could obviously fix these by adding the appropriate free(). But it
would be simpler still if we actually had a non-allocating way to get
the string. There's git_config_get_value() but that doesn't quite do
what we want. If the config key is present but is a boolean with no
value (e.g., "[foo]bar" in the file), then we'll get NULL (whereas the
string versions will print an error and die).

So let's introduce a new variant, git_config_get_string_tmp(), that
behaves as these callers expect. We need a new name because we have new
semantics but the same function signature (so even if we converted the
four remaining callers, topics in flight might be surprised). The "tmp"
is because this value should only be held onto for a short time. In
practice it's rare for us to clear and refresh the configset,
invalidating the pointer, but hopefully the "tmp" makes callers think
about the lifetime. In each of the converted cases here the value only
needs to last within the local function or its immediate caller.

f011a9654d git_config_parse_key(): return baselen as size_t
As with the recent change to parse_config_key(), the best type to return
a string length is a size_t, as it won't cause integer truncation for a
gigantic key. And as with that change, this is mostly a clarity /
hygiene issue for now, as our config parser would choke on such a large
key anyway.

There are a few ripple effects within the config code, as callers switch
to using size_t. I also adjusted a few related variables that iterate
over strings. The most unexpected change is that a call to strbuf_addf()
had to switch to strbuf_add(). We can't use a size_t with "%.*s",
because printf precisions must have type "int" (we could cast, of
course, but that would miss the point of using size_t in the first
place).

f5914f4b6b parse_config_key(): return subsection len as size_t
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.

CONFIG_SCOPE_CMDLINE is generally used in the code to refer to config

CONFIG_SCOPE_COMMAND to reflect this new idea, which also makes

never a problem before as no one had needed to differentiate between the
two cases, but future functionality may care whether or not the config
options come from a worktree or from the repository's actual local
config file.  For example, the planned feature to add a '--show-scope'
to config to allow a user to see which scope listed config options come
from would confuse users if it just printed 'repo' rather than 'local'
or 'worktree' as the documentation would lead them to expect.  As well
as the additional benefit of making the implementation look more like
how the documentation describes the interface.

To accomplish this we split out what was previously considered repo
scope to be local and worktree.

The clients of 'current_config_scope()' who cared about
CONFIG_SCOPE_REPO are also modified to similarly care about
CONFIG_SCOPE_WORKTREE and CONFIG_SCOPE_LOCAL to preserve previous behavior.

a5cb4204b6 config: make scope_name non-static and rename it
To prepare for the upcoming --show-scope option, we require the ability
to convert a config_scope enum to a string.  As this was originally
implemented as a static function 'scope_name()' in
t/helper/test-config.c, we expose it via config.h and give it a less
ambiguous name 'config_scope_name()'

6c96630cb0 config: move documentation to config.h
Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-config.txt into
config.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage information
beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file, also
documentation/technical/api-config.txt is removed because the information
it has is now redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to date and
syncronized with the documentation in config.h

f672deec2d trace2: fixup access problem on /etc/gitconfig in read_very_early_config
Teach do_git_config_sequence() to optionally gently check for access to
the system config.  Use this option in read_very_early_config() when
initializing trace2.

In [1] SZEDER Gábor reported that my changes in [2] introduced a
regression when the user does not have permission to read the system
config.

This commit addresses that problem by optionally ignoring that error.

b199d7147a *.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using sed
There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Finish the job by removing all instances of "extern" for function
declarations in headers using sed.

This was done by running the following on my system with sed 4.2.2:

    $ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
        grep -v ^compat/ |
        xargs sed -i'' -e 's/^\(\s*\)extern \([^(]*([^*]\)/\1\2/'

Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.

Then, leftover instances of extern were found by running

    $ git grep -w -C3 extern \*.{c,h}

and manually checking the output. No other instances were found.

Note that the regex used specifically excludes function variables which
_should_ be left as extern.

Not the most elegant way to do it but it gets the job done.

554544276a *.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch
There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are
caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with
processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern`
declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch.

This was the Coccinelle patch used:

	@@
	type T;
	identifier f;
	@@
	- extern
	  T f(...);

and it was run with:

	$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
		grep -v ^compat/ |
		xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place

Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.

2a9dedef2e index: make index.threads=true enable ieot and eoie
If a user explicitly sets

	[index]
		threads = true

to read the index using multiple threads, ensure that index writes
include the offset table by default to make that possible.  This
ensures that the user's intent of turning on threading is respected.

In other words, permit the following configurations:

- index.threads and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified: do not write
  the offset table yet (to avoid alarming the user with "ignoring IEOT
  extension" messages when an older version of Git accesses the
  repository) but do make use of multiple threads to read the index if
  the supporting offset table is present.

  This can also be requested explicitly by setting index.threads=true,
  0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable=false.

- index.threads=false or 1: do not write the offset table, and do not
  make use of the offset table.

  One can set index.recordOffsetTable=false as well, to be more
  explicit.

- index.threads=true, 0, or >1 and index.recordOffsetTable unspecified:
  write the offset table and make use of threads at read time.

  This can also be requested by setting index.threads=true, 0, >1, or
  unspecified and index.recordOffsetTable=true.

Fortunately the complication is temporary: once most Git installations
have upgraded to a version with support for the IEOT and EOIE
extensions, we can flip the defaults for index.recordEndOfIndexEntries
and index.recordOffsetTable to true and eliminate the settings.

c780b9cfe8 config: add new index.threads config setting
Add support for a new index.threads config setting which will be used to
control the threading code in do_read_index().  A value of 0 will tell the
index code to automatically determine the correct number of threads to use.
A value of 1 will make the code single threaded.  A value greater than 1
will set the maximum number of threads to use.

For testing purposes, this setting can be overwritten by setting the
GIT_TEST_INDEX_THREADS=<n> environment variable to a value greater than 0.

We could add a "_with_options" variant, but since there are
only a handful of callers, let's just update them to pass
NULL.

The config code has a die_on_error flag, which lets us emit
an error() instead of dying when we see a bogus config file.
But there's no way for a caller of the config code to set
this: it's auto-set based on whether we're reading a file or
a blob.

Instead, let's add it to the config_options struct. When
it's not set (or we have no options) we'll continue to fall
back to the existing file/blob behavior.
