Junio C Hamano 1fbfabfa71 Merge branch 'pw/3.0-commentchar-auto-deprecation'
"core.commentChar=auto" that attempts to dynamically pick a
suitable comment character is non-workable, as it is too much
trouble to support for little benefit, and is marked as deprecated.

* pw/3.0-commentchar-auto-deprecation:
  commit: print advice when core.commentString=auto
  config: warn on core.commentString=auto
  breaking-changes: deprecate support for core.commentString=auto

Phillip Wood ace1bb7150 commit: print advice when core.commentString=auto
Add some advice on how to change the config settings when
"core.commentString=auto" or "core.commentChar=auto". The advice
includes instructions for clearing the config setting or setting a
fixed comment string. To try and be as specific as possible, the advice
is customized based on the user's config. If "core.commentString=auto"
is set in the system config and the user does not have write
access then the advice omits the instructions to clear the config
and recommends changing the global config instead. An alternative
approach would be to advise the user to run "git config --show-origin"
and leave them to figure out how to fix it themselves but that seems
rather unfriendly. As we're forcing them to update their config we
should try and make that as easy as possible.

In order to generate this advice we need to record each file where
either of the config keys is set and whether a key occurs more that
once in a given file. This lets us generate the list of commands to
remove all the keys and also tells us which key the "auto" setting
comes from.

As we want the user to update their config we do not provide a way
for this advice to be disabled other than changing the value of
"core.commentChar" or "core.commentString".

Phillip Wood a0e6aaea7d config: warn on core.commentString=auto
As support for this setting was deprecated in the last commit print a
warning (or die when WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES is enabled) if it is set.
Avoid bombarding the user with warnings by only printing it (a) when
running commands that call "git commit" and (b) only once per command.

Some scaffolding is added to repo_read_config() to allow it to
detect deprecated config settings and warn about them. As both
"core.commentChar" and "core.commentString" set the comment
character we record which one of them is used and tailor the
warning message appropriately.

Note the odd combination of die_message() followed by die(NULL)
is to allow the next commit to insert a call to advise() in the middle.

Junio C Hamano dcecac2580 config: do not use strbuf_split()
When parsing an old-style GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS environment
variable, the code parses key=value pairs by splitting them at '='
into an array of strbuf's.  As strbuf_split() leaves the delimiter
at the end of the split piece, the code has to manually trim it.

If we split with string_list_split(), that becomes unnecessary.
Retire the use of strbuf_split() from this code path.

Note that the max parameter of string_list_split() is of
an ergonomically iffy design---it specifies the maximum number of
times the function is allowed to split, which means that in order to
split a text into up to 2 pieces, you have to pass 1, not 2.

Patrick Steinhardt b06408b817 config: fix sign comparison warnings
There are a couple of -Wsign-compare warnings in "config.c":

  - `prepare_include_condition_pattern()` is returns a signed integer,
    where it either returns a negative error code or the index of the
    last dir separator in a path. That index will always be a
    non-negative number, but we cannot just change the return type to a
    `size_t` due to it being re-used as error code. This is fixed by
    splitting up concerns: the return value is only used as error code,
    and the prefix is now returned via an out-pointer. This fixes a sign
    comparison warning when comparing `text.len < prefix`,

  - We treat `struct config_store_data::seen` as signed integer in
    several places even though it's unsigned.

  - There are multiple trivial sign comparison warnings where we use a
    signed loop index to iterate through an unsigned number of items.

Fix all of these issues and drop the `DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS`
macro.

Patrick Steinhardt 08b775864e config: move Git config parsing into "environment.c"
In "config.c" we host both the business logic to read and write config
files as well as the logic to parse specific Git-related variables. On
the one hand this is mixing concerns, but even more importantly it means
that we cannot easily remove the dependency on `the_repository` in our
config parsing logic.

Move the logic into "environment.c". This file is a grab bag of all
kinds of global state already, so it is quite a good fit. Furthermore,
it also hosts most of the global variables that we're parsing the config
values into, making this an even better fit.

Note that there is one hidden change: in `parse_fsync_components()` we
use an `int` to iterate through `ARRAY_SIZE(fsync_component_names)`. But
as -Wsign-compare warnings are enabled in this file this causes a
compiler warning. The issue is fixed by using a `size_t` instead.

This change allows us to drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE`
declaration.

Patrick Steinhardt e957ed2b27 config: drop `git_config_set()` wrapper
In 036876a106 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by
default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the
config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have
been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that
takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll
eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global
repository variable explicit at the callsite.

Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config_set()`. All
callsites are adjusted so that they use `repo_config_set(the_repository,
...)` instead. While some callsites might already have a repository
available, this mechanical conversion is the exact same as the current
situation and thus cannot cause any regression. Those sites should
eventually be cleaned up in a later patch series.

Ayush Chandekar 92b7c7c9f5 config: set comment_line_str to "#" when core.commentChar=auto
If conflict comments already use a comment character that isn't "#", and
core.commentChar is set "auto", Git will ignore these lines during the
scan using ignored_log_message_bytes() and pick a new comment character
based on the rest of the message. The newly chosen character may be
different from the one used in the conflict comments and therefore,
these are no longer treated as comments and end up in the final commit
message.

For example, during a rebase if the user previously set
core.commentChar=% and then encounters a conflict, conflict comments
like "% Conflicts:" are generated. If the user subsequently sets
core.commentChar=auto before running `rebase --continue`, Git parses the
"auto" setting and begins scanning. It first uses the existing
'comment_line_str' (which is '%') to detect and ignore conflict comments
via ignored_log_message_bytes().

Then, Git scans the rest of the message (excluding conflict comments),
sees that none of the remaining lines start with '#' and decides to set
comment_line_str to '#'. Since the final commit character differs from
the one used in the conflict comments, those lines are no longer
considered comments and get included in the final commit message.

Set 'comment_line_str' to '#' when core.commentChar is set to 'auto' to
reset any previously set value.

While this does not solve the issue of conflict comment inclusion and
the user visible behaviour stays tha same, it standardizes the behaviour
of the code by always resetting 'comment_line_str' to '#' when
core.commentChar=auto is parsed.

The patch text is based on Phillip Wood's message:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/9e96aaab-79a2-4632-94cd-d016d4a63b30@gmail.com/
and the commit log message is wriiten by me.

Phillip Wood 14d7583beb config: remove unneeded struct field
As well as receiving the config key and value, config callbacks
also receive a "struct key_value_info" containing information about
the source of the key-value pair. Accessing the "path" field of
this struct from a callback passed to repo_config() results in a
use-after-free. This happens because repo_config() first populates a
configset by calling config_with_options() and then iterates over the
configset with the callback passed by the caller. When the configset
is constructed it takes a shallow copy of the "struct key_value_info"
for each config setting. This leads to the use-after-free as the
"path" member is freed before config_with_options() returns.

We could fix this by interning the "path" field as we do
for the "filename" field but the "path" field is not actually
needed. It is populated with a copy of the "path" field from "struct
config_source". That field was added in d14d42440d (config: disallow
relative include paths from blobs, 2014-02-19) to distinguish between
relative include directives in files and those in blobs. However,
since 1b8132d99d (i18n: config: unfold error messages marked for
translation, 2016-07-28) we can differentiate these by looking at the
"origin_type" field in "struct key_value_info". So let's remove the
"path" members from "struct config_source" and "struct key_value_info"
and instead use a combination of the "filename" and "origin_type"
fields to determine the absolute path of relative includes.

Justin Tobler 05e9cd64ee config: quote values containing CR character
When reading the config, values that contain a trailing CRLF are
stripped. If the value itself has a trailing CR, the normal LF that
follows results in the CR being unintentionally stripped. This may lead
to unintended behavior due to the config value written being different
when it gets read.

One such issue involves a repository with a submodule path containing a
trailing CR. When the submodule gets initialized, the submodule is
cloned without being checked out and has "core.worktree" set to the
submodule path. The git-checkout(1) that gets spawned later reads the
"core.worktree" config value, but without the trailing CR, and
consequently attempts to checkout to a different path than intended.

If the repository contains a matching path that is a symlink, it is
possible for the submodule repository to be checked out in arbitrary
locations. This is extra bad when the symlink points to the submodule
hooks directory and the submodule repository contains an executable
"post-checkout" hook. Once the submodule repository checkout completes,
the "post-checkout" hook immediately executes.

To prevent mismatched config state due to misinterpreting a trailing CR,
wrap config values containing CR in double quotes when writing the
entry. This ensures a trailing CR is always separated for an LF and thus
prevented from getting stripped.

Note that this problem cannot be addressed by just quoting each CR with
"\r". The reading side of the config interprets only a few backslash
escapes, and "\r" is not among them. This fix is sufficient though
because it only affects the CR at the end of a line and any literal CR
in the interior is already preserved.

The "object-store-ll.h" header has been introduced to keep transitive
header dependendcies and compile times at bay. Now that we have created
a new "object-store.c" file though we can easily move the last remaining
additional bit of "object-store.h", the `odb_path_map`, out of the
header.

Do so. As the "object-store.h" header is now equivalent to its low-level
alternative we drop the latter and inline it into the former.

Patrick Steinhardt 7835ee75cd environment: move access to "core.bigFileThreshold" into repo settings
The "core.bigFileThreshold" setting is stored in a global variable and
populated via `git_default_core_config()`. This may cause issues in
the case where one is handling multiple different repositories in a
single process with different values for that config key, as we may or
may not see the correct value in that case. Furthermore, global state
blocks our path towards libification.

Refactor the code so that we instead store the value in `struct
repo_settings`, where the value is computed as-needed and cached.

Note that this change requires us to adapt one test in t1050 that
verifies that we die when parsing an invalid "core.bigFileThreshold"
value. The exercised Git command doesn't use the value at all, and thus
it won't hit the new code path that parses the value. This is addressed
by using git-hash-object(1) instead, which does read the value.

Usman Akinyemi f29f1990b5 config: teach repo_config to allow `repo` to be NULL
The `repo` value can be NULL if a builtin command is run outside
any repository. The current implementation of `repo_config()` will
fail if `repo` is NULL.

If the `repo` is NULL the `repo_config()` can ignore the repository
configuration but it should read the other configuration sources like
the system-side configuration instead of failing.

Teach the `repo_config()` to allow `repo` to be NULL by calling the
`read_very_early_config()` which read config but only enumerate system
and global settings.

This will be useful in the following commits.

We include "compat/zlib.h" in "git-compat-util.h", which is
unnecessarily broad given that we only have a small handful of files

adapt users of zlib to include that header.

One exception is the reftable library, as we don't want to use the
Git-specific wrapper of zlib there, so we include "compat/zlib.h"
instead. Furthermore, we move the include into "reftable/system.h" so
that users of the library other than Git can wire up zlib themselves.

Karthik Nayak d284713bae config: make `packed_git_(limit|window_size)` non-global variables
The variables `packed_git_window_size` and `packed_git_limit` are global
config variables used in the `packfile.c` file. Since it is only used in
this file, let's change it from being a global config variable to a
local variable for the subsystem.

With this, we rid `packfile.c` from all global variable usage and this
means we can also remove the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` guard from

Karthik Nayak d6b2d21fbf config: make `delta_base_cache_limit` a non-global variable
The `delta_base_cache_limit` variable is a global config variable used
by multiple subsystems. Let's make this non-global, by adding this
variable independently to the subsystems where it is used.

First, add the setting to the `repo_settings` struct, this provides
access to the config in places where the repository is available. Use
this in `packfile.c`.

In `index-pack.c` we add it to the `pack_idx_option` struct and its
constructor. While the repository struct is available here, it may not
be set  because `git index-pack` can be used without a repository.

In `gc.c` add it to the `gc_config` struct and also the constructor
function. The gc functions currently do not have direct access to a
repository struct.

These changes are made to remove the usage of `delta_base_cache_limit`
as a global variable in `packfile.c`. This brings us one step closer to
removing the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` definition in `packfile.c`
which we complete in the next patch.

Patrick Steinhardt 320c96b0cb config: fix evaluating "onbranch" with nonexistent git dir
The `include_by_branch()` function is responsible for evaluating whether
or not a specific include should be pulled in based on the currently
checked out branch. Naturally, his condition can only be evaluated when
we have a properly initialized repository with a ref store in the first
place. This is why the function guards against the case when either
`data->repo` or `data->repo->gitdir` are `NULL` pointers.

But the second check is insufficient: the `gitdir` may be set even
though the repository has not been initialized. Quoting "setup.c":

  NEEDSWORK: currently we allow bogus GIT_DIR values to be set in some
  code paths so we also need to explicitly setup the environment if the
  user has set GIT_DIR.  It may be beneficial to disallow bogus GIT_DIR
  values at some point in the future.

So when either the GIT_DIR environment variable or the `--git-dir`
global option are set by the user then `the_repository` may end up with
an initialized `gitdir` variable. And this happens even when the dir is
invalid, like for example when it doesn't exist. It follows that only
checking for whether or not `gitdir` is `NULL` is not sufficient for us
to determine whether the repository has been properly initialized.

This issue can lead to us triggering a BUG: when using a config with an
"includeIf.onbranch:" condition outside of a repository while using the
`--git-dir` option pointing to an invalid Git directory we may end up
trying to evaluate the condition even though the ref storage format has
not been set up.

This bisects to 173761e21b (setup: start tracking ref storage format,
2023-12-29), but that commit really only starts to surface the issue
that has already existed beforehand. The code to check for `gitdir` was
introduced via 85fe0e800c (config: work around bug with
includeif:onbranch and early config, 2019-07-31), which tried to fix
similar issues when we didn't yet have a repository set up. But the fix
was incomplete as it missed the described scenario.

As the quoted comment mentions, we'd ideally refactor the code to not
set up `gitdir` with an invalid value in the first place, but that may
be a bigger undertaking. Instead, refactor the code to use the ref
storage format as an indicator of whether or not the ref store has been
set up to fix the bug.

Patrick Steinhardt 11dbb4ace3 environment: stop storing "core.warnAmbiguousRefs" globally
Same as the preceding commits, storing the "core.warnAmbiguousRefs"
value globally is misdesigned as this setting may be set per repository.

Move the logic into the repo-settings subsystem. The usual pattern here
is that users are expected to call `prepare_repo_settings()` before they
access the settings themselves. This seems somewhat fragile though, as
it is easy to miss and leads to somewhat ugly code patterns at the call
sites.

Instead, introduce a new function that encapsulates this logic for us.
This also allows us to change how exactly the lazy initialization works
in the future, e.g. by only partially initializing values as requested
by the caller.

Patrick Steinhardt eafb126456 environment: stop storing "core.logAllRefUpdates" globally
The value of "core.logAllRefUpdates" is being stored in the global
variable `log_all_ref_updates`. This design is somewhat aged nowadays,
where it is entirely possible to access multiple repositories in the
same process which all have different values for this setting. So using
a single global variable to track it is plain wrong.

Remove the global variable. Instead, we now provide a new function part
of the repo-settings subsystem that parses the value for a specific
repository. While that may require us to read the value multiple times,
we work around this by reading it once when the ref backends are set up
and caching the value there.

Patrick Steinhardt 673af418d0 environment: guard state depending on a repository
In "environment.h" we have quite a lot of functions and variables that
either explicitly or implicitly depend on `the_repository`.

The implicit set of stateful declarations includes for example variables
which get populated when parsing a repository's Git configuration. This
set of variables is broken by design, as their state often depends on
the last repository config that has been parsed. So they may or may not
represent the state of `the_repository`.

Fixing that is quite a big undertaking, and later patches in this series
will demonstrate a solution for a first small set of those variables. So
for now, let's guard these with `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` so that
callers are aware of the implicit dependency.

Patrick Steinhardt b92266b79c config: make dependency on repo in `read_early_config()` explicit
The `read_early_config()` function can be used to read configuration
where a repository has not yet been set up. As such, it is optional
whether or not `the_repository` has already been initialized. If it was
initialized we use its commondir and gitdir. If not, the function will
try to detect the Git directories by itself and, if found, also parse
their config files.

This means that we implicitly rely on `the_repository`. Make this
dependency explicit by passing a `struct repository`. This allows us to
again drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` define in "config.c".

Patrick Steinhardt c0b03e8b6d config: document `read_early_config()` and `read_very_early_config()`
It's not clear what `read_early_config()` and `read_very_early_config()`
do differently compared to `repo_read_config()` from just looking at
their names. Document both of these in the header file to clarify their
intent.

Patrick Steinhardt 661624a4f6 environment: make `get_git_common_dir()` accept a repository
The `get_git_common_dir()` function retrieves the path to the common
directory for `the_repository`. Make it accept a `struct repository`
such that it can work on arbitrary repositories and make it part of the
repository subsystem. This reduces our reliance on `the_repository` and
clarifies scope.
