When reviewing a change that also updates a submodule in Gerrit, a
common review practice is to download and cherry-pick the patch
locally to test it. However when testing it locally, the 'git
submodule update' may fail fetching the correct submodule sha1 as
the corresponding commit in the submodule is not yet part of the
project history, but also just a proposed change.
If $sha1 was not part of the default fetch, we try to fetch the $sha1
directly. Some servers however do not support direct fetch by sha1,
which leads git-fetch to fail quickly. We can fail ourselves here as
the still missing sha1 would lead to a failure later in the checkout
stage anyway, so failing here is as good as we can get.

There are no more callers that use this mode, and none

use of it for generating 3-way merge bases).
This is effectively a revert of a9ed376 (xdiff: generate
"anti-diffs" aka what is common to two files, 2006-06-28),
though of course trying to revert that ancient commit
directly produces many textual conflicts.

When merge_blobs sees an add/add conflict, it tries to
create a virtual base object for the 3-way merge that
consists of the common lines of each file. It inherited this
strategy from merge-one-file in 0c79938 (Improved three-way
blob merging code, 2006-06-28), and the point is to minimize
the size of the conflict hunks. That commit talks about "if
libxdiff were to ever grow a compatible three-way merge, it
could probably be directly plugged in".
That has long since happened. So as with merge-one-file in
the previous commit, this extra step is no longer necessary.
Our 3-way merge code is smart enough to do the minimizing
itself if we simply feed it an empty base, which is what the
more modern merge-recursive strategy already does.
Not only does this let us drop some code, but it removes an
overflow bug in generate_common_file(). We allocate a buffer
as large as the smallest of the two blobs, under the
assumption that there cannot be more common content than
what is in the smaller blob. However, xdiff may feed us
more: if neither file ends in a newline, it feeds us the
"\nNo newline at end of file" marker as common content, and
we write it into the output. If the differences between the
files are small than that string, we overflow the output
buffer. This patch solves it by simply dropping the buggy
code entirely.

When we see an add/add conflict on a file, we generate the
conflicted content by doing a 3-way merge with a "virtual"
base consisting of the common lines of the two sides. This
strategy dates back to cb93c19 (merge-one-file: use common
as base, instead of emptiness., 2005-11-09).
Back then, the next step was to call rcs merge to generate
the 3-way conflicts. Using the virtual base produced much
better results, as rcs merge does not attempt to minimize
the hunks. As a result, you'd get a conflict with the
entirety of the files on either side.
Since then, though, we've switched to using git-merge-file,
which uses xdiff's "zealous" merge. This will find the
minimal hunks even with just the simple, empty base.
Let's switch to using that empty base. It's simpler, more
efficient, and reduces our dependencies (we no longer need a
working diff binary). It's also how the merge-recursive
strategy handles this same case.
We can almost get rid of git-sh-setup's create_virtual_base,
but we don't here, for two reasons:
1. The functions in git-sh-setup are part of our public
interface, so it's possible somebody is depending on
it. We'd at least need to deprecate it first.
2. It's also used by mergetool's p4merge driver. It's
unknown whether its 3-way merge is as capable as git's;
if not, then it is benefiting from the function.

For a commit with sha1 "1234abcd" and subject "foo", this
function produces a struct with three strings:
1. "foo"
2. "1234abcd... foo"
3. "parent of 1234abcd... foo"
It takes advantage of the fact that these strings are
subsets of each other, and allocates only _one_ string, with
pointers into the various parts. Unfortunately, this makes
the string allocation complicated and hard to follow.
Since we keep only one of these in memory at a time, we can
afford to simply allocate three strings. This lets us build
on tools like xstrfmt and avoid manual computation.
While we're here, we can also drop the ad-hoc
reimplementation of get_git_commit_encoding(), and simply

The normalize_path_copy function needs an output buffer that
is at least as long as its input (it may shrink the path,
but never expand it). However, this test program feeds it
static PATH_MAX-sized buffers, which have no relation to the
input size.
In the normalize_ceiling_entry case, we do at least check
the size against PATH_MAX and die(), but that case is even
more convoluted. We normalize into a fixed-size buffer, free
the original, and then replace it with a strdup'd copy of
the result. But normalize_path_copy explicitly allows
normalizing in-place, so we can simply do that.

We have two variants of this function, one that takes a
string and one that takes a ptr/len combo. But we only call
the latter with the length of a NUL-terminated string, so
our first simplification is to drop it in favor of the
string variant.
Since we know we have a string, we can also replace the
manual memory computation with a call to alloc_ref().
Furthermore, we can rely on get_oid_hex() to complain if it
hits the end of the string. That means we can simplify the
check for "<sha1> <ref>" versus just "<ref>". Rather than
manage the ptr/len pair, we can just bump the start of our
string forward. The original code over-allocated based on
the original "namelen" (which wasn't _wrong_, but was simply
wasteful and confusing).

is probably cargo-culted from add_packed_git, which gets the
".idx" path and needed to allocate enough space to hold the
matching ".pack" (though since 48bcc1c, we calculate the
size there differently).

Note that there's one subtlety here, though. We protect
ourselves against a NULL exclude_per_dir entry in our

0. But later, we unconditionally memcpy "len + 1" bytes to
get the trailing NUL byte. If we did have a NULL
exclude_per_dir, we would read from bogus memory.
As it turns out, though, we always create this field
pointing to a string literal, so there's no bug. We can just

These functions transform an existing argv into one suitable
for exec-ing or spawning via git or a shell. We can use an
argv_array in each to avoid dealing with manual counting and
allocation.
This also makes the memory allocation more clear and fixes
some leaks. In prepare_shell_cmd, we would sometimes
allocate a new string with "$@" in it and sometimes not,
meaning the caller could not correctly free it. On the
non-Windows side, we are in a child process which will
exec() or exit() immediately, so the leak isn't a big deal.
On Windows, though, we use spawn() from the parent process,
and leak a string for each shell command we run. On top of
that, the Windows code did not free the allocated argv array
at all (but does for the prepare_git_cmd case!).
By switching both of these functions to write into an
argv_array, we can consistently free the result as
appropriate.

We frequently allocate strings as xmalloc(len + 1), where

simply with xmallocz, which also checks for integer
overflow.
There's no case where switching xmalloc(n+1) to xmallocz(n)
is wrong; the result is the same length, and malloc made no
guarantees about what was in the buffer anyway. But in some
cases, we can stop manually placing NUL at the end of the
allocated buffer. But that's only safe if it's clear that
the contents will always fill the buffer.
