For sanity, we should probably do one of the following:
(a) make C and header files both depend upon everything they need
(b) consistently exclude git-compat-util.h from headers and require it
be the first include in C files
Currently, we have some of the headers following (a) and others
following (b), which makes things messy. In the past I was pushed
towards (b), as per [1] and [2]. Further, during this series I
discovered that this mixture empirically will mean that we end up with C
files that do not directly include git-compat-util.h, and do include
headers that don't include git-compat-util.h, with the result that we
likely have headers included before an indirect inclusion of
git-compat-util.h. Since git-compat-util.h has tricky platform-specific
stuff that is meant to be included before everything else, this state of
affairs is risky and may lead to things breaking in subtle ways (and
only on some platforms) as per [1] and [2].
Since including git-compat-util.h in existing header files makes it
harder for us to catch C files that are missing that include, let's
switch to (b) to make the enforcement of this rule easier. Remove the
inclusion of git-compat-util.h from header files other than the ones
that have been approved as alternate first includes.

Test portability improvements.
* mt/rot13-in-c:
tests: use the new C rot13-filter helper to avoid PERL prereq
t0021: implementation the rot13-filter.pl script in C
t0021: avoid grepping for a Perl-specific string at filter output
This script is currently used by three test files: t0021-conversion.sh,
t2080-parallel-checkout-basics.sh, and
t2082-parallel-checkout-attributes.sh. To avoid the need for the PERL
dependency at these tests, let's convert the script to a C test-tool
command. The following commit will take care of actually modifying the
said tests to use the new C helper and removing the Perl script.
The Perl script flushes the log file handler after each write. As
commented in [1], this seems to be an early design decision that was
later reconsidered, but possibly ended up being left in the code by
accident:
>> +$debug->flush();
>
> Isn't $debug flushed automatically?
Maybe, but autoflush is not explicitly enabled. I will
enable it again (I disabled it because of Eric's comment
but I re-read the comment and he is only talking about
pipes).
Anyways, this behavior is not really needed for the tests and the
flush() calls make the code slightly larger, so let's avoid them
altogether in the new C version.

Introduce PACKET_READ_GENTLE_ON_READ_ERROR option to help libify the
packet readers.
So far, the (possibly indirect) callers of `get_packet_data()` can ask
that function to return an error instead of `die()`ing upon end-of-file.
However, random read errors will still cause the process to die.
So let's introduce an explicit option to tell the packet reader
machinery to please be nice and only return an error on read errors.
This change prepares pkt-line for use by long-running daemon processes.
Such processes should be able to serve multiple concurrent clients and
and survive random IO errors. If there is an error on one connection,
a daemon should be able to drop that connection and continue serving
existing and future connections.

When transmitting and receiving POSTs for protocol v0 and v1,
remote-curl uses post_rpc() (and associated functions), but when doing
the same for protocol v2, it uses a separate set of functions
(proxy_rpc() and others). Besides duplication of code, this has caused
at least one bug: the auth retry mechanism that was implemented in v0/v1
was not implemented in v2.
To fix this issue and avoid it in the future, make remote-curl also use
post_rpc() when handling protocol v2. Because line lengths are written
to the HTTP request in protocol v2 (unlike in protocol v0/v1), this
necessitates changes in post_rpc() and some of the functions it uses;
perform these changes too.
A test has been included to ensure that the code for both the unchunked
and chunked variants of the HTTP request is exercised.
Note: stateless_connect() has been updated to use the lower-level packet
reading functions instead of struct packet_reader. The low-level control
is necessary here because we cannot change the destination buffer of
struct packet_reader while it is being used; struct packet_buffer has a
peeking mechanism which relies on the destination buffer being present
in between a peek and a read.

In the Git pack protocol definition, an error packet may appear only in
a certain context. However, servers can face a runtime error (e.g. I/O
error) at an arbitrary timing. This patch changes the protocol to allow
an error packet to be sent instead of any packet.
Without this protocol spec change, when a server cannot process a
request, there's no way to tell that to a client. Since the server
cannot produce a valid response, it would be forced to cut a connection
without telling why. With this protocol spec change, the server can be
more gentle in this situation. An old client may see these error packets
as an unexpected packet, but this is not worse than having an unexpected
EOF.
Following this protocol spec change, the error packet handling code is
moved to pkt-line.c. Implementation wise, this implementation uses
pkt-line to communicate with a subprocess. Since this is not a part of
Git protocol, it's possible that a packet that is not supposed to be an
error packet is mistakenly parsed as an error packet. This error packet
handling is enabled only for the Git pack protocol parsing code
considering this.

One of the design goals of protocol-v2 is to improve the semantics of
flush packets. Currently in protocol-v1, flush packets are used both to
indicate a break in a list of packet lines as well as an indication that
one side has finished speaking. This makes it particularly difficult
to implement proxies as a proxy would need to completely understand git
protocol instead of simply looking for a flush packet.
To do this, introduce the special deliminator packet '0001'. A delim
packet can then be used as a deliminator between lists of packet lines
while flush packets can be reserved to indicate the end of a response.
Documentation for how this packet will be used in protocol v2 will

The current pkt-line API encodes the status of a pkt-line read in the
length of the read content. An error is indicated with '-1', a flush
with '0' (which can be confusing since a return value of '0' can also
indicate an empty pkt-line), and a positive integer for the length of
the read content otherwise. This doesn't leave much room for allowing
the addition of additional special packets in the future.
To solve this introduce 'packet_read_with_status()' which reads a packet
and returns the status of the read encoded as an 'enum packet_status'

The packet_read function reads from a descriptor. The
packet_get_line function is similar, but reads from an
in-memory buffer, and uses a completely separate
implementation. This patch teaches the generic packet_read
function to accept either source, and we can do away with
packet_get_line's implementation.
There are two other differences to account for between the
old and new functions. The first is that we used to read
into a strbuf, but now read into a fixed size buffer. The
only two callers are fine with that, and in fact it
simplifies their code, since they can use the same
static-buffer interface as the rest of the packet_read_line
callers (and we provide a similar convenience wrapper for
reading from a buffer rather than a descriptor).
This is technically an externally-visible behavior change in
that we used to accept arbitrary sized packets up to 65532
bytes, and now cap out at LARGE_PACKET_MAX, 65520. In
practice this doesn't matter, as we use it only for parsing
smart-http headers (of which there is exactly one defined,
and it is small and fixed-size). And any extension headers
would be breaking the protocol to go over LARGE_PACKET_MAX
anyway.
The other difference is that packet_get_line would return
on error rather than dying. However, both callers of
packet_get_line are actually improved by dying.
The first caller does its own error checking, but we can
drop that; as a result, we'll actually get more specific
reporting about protocol breakage when packet_read dies
internally. The only downside is that packet_read will not
print the smart-http URL that failed, but that's not a big
deal; anybody not debugging can already see the remote's URL
already, and anybody debugging would want to run with
GIT_CURL_VERBOSE anyway to see way more information.
The second caller, which is just trying to skip past any
extra smart-http headers (of which there are none defined,
but which we allow to keep room for future expansion), did
not error check at all. As a result, it would treat an error
just like a flush packet. The resulting mess would generally
cause an error later in get_remote_heads, but now we get
error reporting much closer to the source of the problem.

Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a
static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary
binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine
in practice, because:
1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref
name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000
characters.
2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself
to 1000 byte packets.
However, the only limit given in the protocol specification
in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is
LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in
pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write,
not as a specific limit for readers.
This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to
LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a
packet where this makes a difference, there are two good
reasons to do this:
1. Other git implementations may have followed
protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We
don't bump into it in practice because it would involve
very long ref names.
2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day.
Since packets are transferred before any capabilities,
it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible
way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can
handle, eventually older versions of git will be
obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the
writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this
anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the
clock ticking now.
Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX
would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read
into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single
static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap
this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just
use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the
static storage. That covers most of the cases, and the
remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX
buffers.

The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated
by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is
short, we end up doing it in a lot of places.
This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the
trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline
chomping code.
As a result, some call-sites which are not reading
line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles
alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to
the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all
of the existing callsites.
Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not
change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of
new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently
introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later
patch in this series will change the signature, such a
commit would have to be merged directly into this commit,
not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the
issue.
This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of
behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner
case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been
able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000")
and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line
to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically,
even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says
we must not; it also says that implementations should not
send an empty pkt-line.
By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the
caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n")
the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like
a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither
empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols
(at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who
are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling
packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to
care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this
patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating
empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not
make doing so any harder.

Originally we had a single function for reading packetized
data: packet_read_line. Commit 46284dd grew a more "gentle"
form, packet_read, that returns an error instead of dying
upon reading a truncated input stream. However, it is not
clear from the names which should be called, or what the
difference is.
Let's instead make packet_read be a generic public interface
that can take option flags, and update the single callsite
that uses it. This is less code, more clear, and paves the
way for introducing more options into the generic interface
later. The function signature is changed, so there should be
no hidden conflicts with topics in flight.
While we're at it, we'll document how error conditions are
handled based on the options, and rename the confusing
"return_line_fail" option to "gentle_on_eof". While we are
cleaning up the names, we can drop the "return_line_fail"
checks in packet_read_internal entirely. They look like
this:
ret = safe_read(..., return_line_fail);
if (return_line_fail && ret < 0)
...
The check for return_line_fail is a no-op; safe_read will
only ever return an error value if return_line_fail was true
in the first place.

This is just write_or_die by another name. The one
distinction is that write_or_die will treat EPIPE specially
by suppressing error messages. That's fine, as we die by
SIGPIPE anyway (and in the off chance that it is disabled,
write_or_die will simulate it).

The comment describing the packet writing interface was
originally written above packet_write, but migrated to be
above safe_write in f3a3214, probably because it is meant to
generally describe the packet writing interface and not a
single function. Let's move it into the header file, where
users of the interface are more likely to see it.

If a server accessed through ssh is denying access git will currently
issue the message
"fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly"
as the last line. This sounds as if something really ugly just happened.
Since this is a quite typical situation in which users regularly get
we do not say that if it happens at the beginning when reading the
remote heads.
If its in the very first beginning of reading the remote heads it is
very likely an authentication error or a missing repository.
If it happens later during reading the remote heads we still indicate
that it happened during this initial contact phase.

pkt-line.h uses GCC's __attribute__ extension but does not include
git-compat-util.h. So it will not compile with a compiler that does
not support this extension.

GCC's format __attribute__ is good for checking errors, especially
with -Wformat=2 parameter. This fixes most of the reported problems
against 2005-08-09 snapshot.
