Grayson Gordon abb51c0535 http: add http.sslVerifyStatus to check stapled OCSP responses
git never sets CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS, so libcurl never requests the
OCSP "Certificate Status Request" extension and any stapled response a
server sends is ignored, including responses that explicitly state the
certificate has been revoked.

Add an http.sslVerifyStatus boolean that maps to
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS. http_options() is already the collect_fn for a
urlmatch config, so the per-URL form works with no changes:

    git config http.https://example.com/.sslVerifyStatus true

Defaults to false/"off". This is due to the nature of the OCSP protocol.
If enabled, git would expect to receive OCSP stapled responses. If the
stapled responses were not present, the connection would be blocked as
the status of the server's certificate could not be verified. This would
break connections to legitimate services that don't use OCSP as their
certificate revocation mechanism.

If the backend can't check the staple, curl_easy_setopt() returns
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN. The error message includes curl_easy_strerror()
along with the option name, so a libcurl built without status
verification is easy to identify.

CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS has existed since libcurl 7.41.0, below our
7.61.0 floor, so no version guard is needed.

The tests that need no OCSP infrastructure stay in t5551, which t5559
runs over https. The rest need a certificate authority, a responder to
answer for it and a server configured to staple, so lib-httpd gains an
opt-in LIB_HTTPD_OCSP mode and t5585 uses it to check that a "good"
staple is accepted, a "revoked" one is refused, and that the revoked one
is ignored when the option is off.

Harald Nordgren 6a559670c2 range-diff: add --matched-only to skip one-sided commits
Reviewing a range-diff often means scrolling past commits that were
simply added or dropped, when only the ones that correspond between
the two ranges are of interest.

--left-only and --right-only already each suppress one of those
one-sided groups, but they are defined as "only show this side" and
so cannot be given together, which is exactly why show_range_diff()
already rejected that combination. Give the "show only the commits
that correspond on both sides" behavior its own name, --matched-only,
instead of asking users to reach for a combination that errors out.

Extend the existing '--left-only'/'--right-only' conflict check to
also reject any combination with --matched-only, since all three
narrow the output in ways that cannot be combined.

Karthik Nayak 3bbb0864a2 hook: introduce the receive-report hook
When running 'git-receive-pack(1)', there is no way for the server to
intercept and modify the status report before it is sent back to the
client. Servers with custom logic may need to transform or gate the
report based on the outcome of external logic post reference updates.

This is specially needed for our usecase at GitLab where we have custom
MVCC logic on top of Git which creates a new version for each push
operation. The new version is only committed when certain external
operations post reference transaction succeed. So reporting the correct
message based on the outcome of these operations is important.

The outcome of these operations is only known after `execute_commands()`
has returned and before the report is written. There is no point in
receive-pack where the server can act on that.

We cannot use any of the existing hooks as:

  - The pre-receive hook runs too early, as we haven't updated
    references at that point yet and we need to have the full view of
    all resulting updates (both objects and references).

  - The update hook is too inefficient as it runs once per reference,
    and we cannot trivially determine the last update.

  - The reference-transaction hook is not suited for this. It fires from
    within `ref_transaction_commit()`, which is before the outcome we
    need to report is known, so there is no phase at which it could give
    us the answer. It also does not contain any knowledge regarding the
    push and cannot communicate with the clients.

  - The proc-receive hook replaces execute_commands() for references
    matching 'receive.procReceiveRefs'. We need to gate the report for
    the push as a whole.

  - The post-receive and post-update hooks cannot be used as they run
    too late, at the point where we have already reported success to the
    client.

Introduce a new 'receive-report' hook. The hook receives the complete
pkt-line encoded status report on standard input, after all ref updates
have been applied to the repository by execute_commands() but before the
report is sent to the client. See linkgit:gitprotocol-pack[5] details on
the protocol structure.

The hook's stdout fully replaces the report sent to the client.
receive-pack fully buffers the hook's stdout before acting on the exit
status, so the exit code is known before the client receives anything.
This gives two distinct behaviors depending on exit status:

- Exit 0: the hook's stdout is used as the report. The hook can
  rewrite 'ok' lines to 'ng' lines to signal per-ref rejection to the
  client while receive-pack itself exits cleanly. The client marks
  rejected refs as '[remote rejected]' and exits with a non-zero
  status if any ref is 'ng'.

- Non-zero exit: the hook's stdout is discarded, receive-pack modifies
  all references to be rejected with a 'receive-report hook failed'
  error.

In both cases, any output the hook writes to standard error is
forwarded to the client over the sideband channel and appears as
'remote:' lines on the client terminal. Writing to stderr alone does
not affect the push outcome.

Reference updates applied by execute_commands() are not rolled back in
either failure mode. The hook can cause the client to perceive the push
as failed, but cannot undo server-side changes. This creates a
divergence that the server cannot resolve: the client leaves its
remote-tracking reference at the old value while the update is in fact
applied, and a later fetch may reveal the update that the push reported
as rejected.

The hook is therefore only appropriate for servers which can guarantee
that a rejected update is not observable by any reader. In our case the
transaction committed by execute_commands() produces a candidate version
which is not visible to other readers and is only published once the
subsequent operations succeed, so a report of 'ng' corresponds to a
version that is discarded rather than published. On a repository where a
committed reference update is immediately visible, rejecting a push from
this hook would instead leave the pusher with a view that does not match
the server.

This hook does not use the config-based hook infrastructure, which
supports running multiple scripts per hook event. This hook is a
bidirectional filter: it receives the report on stdin and writes a
modified version to stdout. Running multiple such scripts sequentially
would require piping the output of one into the input of the next,
which the current hook infrastructure does not support. A single-script
design is therefore a natural fit, and is consistent with how
'proc-receive' is structured for the same reason.

D. Ben Knoble 3a21fe8cf9 core: convert build-time USE_NSEC into runtime core.useNanosec
Racy Git problems persist today, manifesting themselves in the
performance of commands like "git diff" in new worktrees [1]. We have
long had a build knob "USE_NSEC" to tell Git to use in-core nanosecond
precision when available, which mitigates most if not all racy issues,
but most builds we know about don't use it. In part, that's because
someone distributing Git can't safely enable it at compile-time if they
don't know exactly what platforms their distribution will be used on.

[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/CALnO6CADMJSixqYvL1Yo8qKX5rWhKQ+2OoSEuPUh-yoeK9TseQ@mail.gmail.com

These days, most platforms are likely to be safe for the USE_NSEC code.
Regardless, we want to give users the ability to benefit from it. This
requires exposing the compile-time gated code as a runtime option.

In addition, update the Racy Git documentation and other mentions of
USE_NSEC in the code.

Due to the conversion from #ifdef to runtime check, using the flag
"--ignore-space-change" may be particularly helpful when viewing changes
from this patch.

D. Ben Knoble bc53d6c795 meson: expose knob for xmlto relative links in manuals
Makefile-based builds have had this knob for most of the project's life,
since a479a564dc (Documentation/Makefile: allow
man.base.url.for.relative.link to be set from Make, 2009-12-03).

Meson, however, hard-codes the equivalent of $prefix/$mandir, which is
not really where all the HTML docs are stored in most distro builds.
Plus, this value is missing a trailing slash, so links come out broken,
like this in git.1:

        1. Git User’s Manual
           /usr/share/manuser-manual.html

Of course we can do better:

1. Change the default to match Make: use file://$(htmldir)/ (with
   trailing slash!) to form a local URL pointing at the HTML docs. This
   is safe because all current uses of link:<relative> point at HTML
   docs:

      git grep 'link:[[:alnum:]]' Documentation | grep -ve html -e http

   produces only a single result (Documentation/howto/howto-index.sh)
   which can be ignored. Since nothing else [*] in the normal build sets
   MAN_BASE_URL, this seems like the right default.

2. Provide a configurable knob, just like the Makefile, so distributions
   that build with Meson (like Gentoo) can decide where to make the
   links if they need to. Those that set htmldir probably won't need to
   tweak this any further, though.

[*]: Well, Git's todo branch has a script dodoc.sh to build and archive
     docs for kernel.org; these docs are pulled by Homebrew
     installations, for example. It sets MAN_BASE_URL to "git_htmldocs",
     so the equivalent note on macOS + Homebrew is

        1. Git User’s Manual
           git-htmldocs/user-manual.html

     which is not functional either, but that's a problem for
     downstream. In any case, users can recover the right path with
     "git --html-path".

K Jayatheerth 2b27cabfb9 repo: add path.cdup
Scripts sometimes need the relative path from the current working
directory to the repository's working tree root (cdup). While this
information can be retrieved through `git rev-parse --show-cdup`,
`git repo info` does not currently expose it as a scriptable key.

Introduce the `path.cdup` key to `git repo info`. The key returns the
path from the current working directory to the root of the working tree,
returning the empty string when invoked from the working tree root.

K Jayatheerth 88dc4213b5 repo: add path.git-prefix
Scripts sometimes need the path from the repository's working tree root
to the current working directory. While this information can be derived
through existing Git commands, `git repo info` does not currently expose
it as a scriptable key.

Introduce the `path.git-prefix` key to `git repo info`. The key returns
the path from the working tree root to the current working directory,
returning the empty string when invoked from the working tree root.

K Jayatheerth e57c2b3f34 repo: add path.grafts with absolute and relative suffixes
The repository grafts file specifies alternate parent relationships for
commits and may be used by repository tooling that needs to inspect or
manage grafts. Scripts currently retrieve its location by invoking
`git rev-parse --git-path info/grafts`.

Introduce `path.grafts.absolute` and `path.grafts.relative` keys to
`git repo info`. This exposes the grafts file location as a scriptable
config-like key using standard format rules, allowing scripts to
retrieve it through the same interface as other repository path
information.

K Jayatheerth 85670c6ecf repo: add path.index with absolute and relative suffixes
The repository index is a fundamental component used by Git and related
tooling to track the working tree state. Scripts that interact with the
index currently retrieve its location by invoking
`git rev-parse --git-path index`.

Introduce `path.index.absolute` and `path.index.relative` keys to
`git repo info`. This exposes the index file location as a scriptable
config-like key using standard format rules, allowing scripts to
retrieve it through the same interface as other repository path
information.

K Jayatheerth 5be0f4c64b repo: add path.hooks with absolute and relative suffixes
Hooks are an integral part of a repository's configuration and are
commonly used by tooling to automate repository-specific workflows.
Currently, scripts typically retrieve the hooks directory by invoking
`git rev-parse --git-path hooks`.

Introduce `path.hooks.absolute` and `path.hooks.relative` keys to
`git repo info`. This exposes the hooks directory as a scriptable
config-like key using standard format rules, allowing scripts to
retrieve it through the same interface as other repository path
information.

K Jayatheerth 2f09f13d73 repo: add path.superproject-root with absolute and relative suffixes
Scripts working in multi-repository setups often need to identify the
top-level working tree of a superproject from within a submodule.
Currently, this is only exposed via `git rev-parse
--show-superproject-working-tree`.

Introduce `path.superproject-root.absolute` and
`path.superproject-root.relative` keys to `git repo info`.
This exposes the core submodule context via a scriptable config-like key
using standard format rules.

If requested when not inside a submodule, the command returns an empty
string.

K Jayatheerth 998c3eacc3 repo: add path.toplevel with absolute and relative suffix formatting
Scripts frequently need to find the root directory of a repository's
working tree. Currently, this requires using `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`
or inferring it from other repository information.

Introduce `path.toplevel.absolute` and `path.toplevel.relative` keys
to `git repo info`. This allows scripts to retrieve the top-level
working tree path in a predictable, strictly formatted manner without
relying on `rev-parse`.

If requested in a bare repository where no working tree exists, the
command returns an empty string.

Tuomas Ahola 4ce144a152 lint-docs: check the guide list in command-list.txt
Since 2135e1ad70 (command-list.txt: add missing 'gitcredentials' and
'gitremote-helpers', 2020-08-05) there has been a comment in
Documentation/Makefile reminding developers to add new guides also to
command-list.txt.  However, there is no linter script to enforce that.

Adapt Documentation/lint-manpages.sh to fill that role.  Extract
MAN5_TXT and MAN7_TXT from the Makefile and check command-list.txt
against them.  Exempt gitweb.conf(5) from the new linter routine.
