Treat ECONNABORTED the same as ECONNRESET in 'git credential-cache' to
work around a possible Cygwin regression. This resolves a race condition
caused by changes in Cygwin's handling of socket closures, allowing the
client to exit cleanly when encountering ECONNABORTED.
* rj/cygwin-exit:
credential-cache: treat ECONNABORTED like ECONNRESET
On Cygwin, t0301 fails because "git credential-cache exit" returns a
non-zero exit code. What's supposed to happen here is:
1. The client (the "credential-cache" invocation above) connects to a
previously-spawned credential-cache--daemon.
2. The client sends an "exit" command to the daemon.
3. The daemon unlinks the socket and then exits, closing the
descriptor back to the client.
4. The client sees EOF on the descriptor and exits successfully.
That works on most platforms, and even _used_ to work on Cygwin. But
that changed in Cygwin's ef95c03522 (Cygwin: select: Fix FD_CLOSE
handling, 2021-04-06). After that commit, the client sees a read error
with errno set to ECONNABORTED, and it reports the error and dies.
It's not entirely clear if this is a Cygwin bug. It seems that calling
fclose() on the filehandles pointing to the sockets is sufficient to
avoid this error return, even though exiting should in general look the
same from the client's perspective.
However, we can't just call fclose() here. It's important in step 3
above to unlink the socket before closing the descriptor to avoid the
race mentioned by 7d5e9c9849 (credential-cache--daemon: clarify "exit"
action semantics, 2016-03-18). The client will exit as soon as it sees
the descriptor close, and the daemon may or may not have actually
unlinked the socket by then. That makes test code like this:
git credential exit &&
test_path_is_missing .git-credential-cache
racy.
So we probably _could_ fix this by calling:
delete_tempfile(&socket_file);
fclose(in);
fclose(out);
before we exit(). Or by replacing the exit() with a return up the stack,
in which case the fclose() happens as we unwind. But in that case we'd
still need to call delete_tempfile() here to avoid the race.
But simpler still is that we can notice that we already special-case
ECONNRESET on the client side, courtesy of 1f180e5eb9 (credential-cache:
interpret an ECONNRESET as an EOF, 2017-07-27). We can just do the same
thing here (I suspect that prior to the Cygwin commit that introduced
this problem, we were really just seeing ECONNRESET instead of
ECONNABORTED, so the "new" problem is just the switch of the errno
values).

When not compiling the credential cache we may use a stub function for
`cmd_credential_cache()`. With commit 9b1cb5070f (builtin: add a
repository parameter for builtin functions, 2024-09-13), we have added a
new parameter to all of those top-level `cmd_*()` functions, and did
indeed adapt the non-stubbed-out `cmd_credential_cache()`. But we didn't
adapt the stubbed-out variant, so the code does not compile.
Fix this by adding the missing parameter.

Instead of including USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE by default on every
builtin, remove it from builtin.h and add it to all the builtins that
include builtin.h (by definition, that means all builtins/*.c).
Also, remove the include statement for repository.h since it gets
brought in through builtin.h.
The next step will be to migrate each builtin
from having to use the_repository.

There are two trivial leaks in git-credential-cache(1):
- We leak the child process in `spawn_daemon()`. As we do not call
`finish_command()` and instead let the created process daemonize, we
have to clear the process manually.
- We do not free the computed socket path in case it wasn't given via
`--socket=`.
Plug both of these memory leaks.

The credential helper protocol, together with the HTTP layer, have
been enhanced to support authentication schemes different from
username & password pair, like Bearer and NTLM.
* bc/credential-scheme-enhancement:
credential: add method for querying capabilities
credential-cache: implement authtype capability
t: add credential tests for authtype
credential: add support for multistage credential rounds
t5563: refactor for multi-stage authentication
docs: set a limit on credential line length
credential: enable state capability
credential: add an argument to keep state
http: add support for authtype and credential
docs: indicate new credential protocol fields
credential: add a field called "ephemeral"
credential: gate new fields on capability
credential: add a field for pre-encoded credentials
http: use new headers for each object request
remote-curl: reset headers on new request
credential: add an authtype field
Right now, there's no specific way to determine whether a credential
helper or git credential itself supports a given set of capabilities.
It would be helpful to have such a way, so let's let credential helpers
and git credential take an argument, "capability", which has it list the
capabilities and a version number on standard output.
Specifically choose a format that is slightly different from regular
credential output and assume that no capabilities are supported if a
non-zero exit status occurs or the data deviates from the format. It is
common for users to write small shell scripts as the argument to
credential.helper, which will almost never be designed to emit
capabilities. We want callers to gracefully handle this case by
assuming that they are not capable of extended support because that is
almost certainly the case, and specifying the error behavior up front
does this and preserves backwards compatibility in a graceful way.

Windows 10 build 17063 introduced support for unix sockets to Windows.
bb390b1 (git-compat-util: include declaration for unix sockets in
windows, 2021-09-14) introduced a way to build git with unix socket
support on Windows, but you still had to decide at build time which
Windows version the compiled executable was supposed to run on.
We can detect at runtime wether the operating system supports unix
sockets and act accordingly for all supported Windows versions.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3892

Each of these were checked with
gcc -E -I. ${SOURCE_FILE} | grep ${HEADER_FILE}
to ensure that removing the direct inclusion of the header actually
resulted in that header no longer being included at all (i.e. that
no other header pulled it in transitively).
...except for a few cases where we verified that although the header
was brought in transitively, nothing from it was directly used in
that source file. These cases were:

hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and
use of the_hash_algo (defined as the_repository->hash_algo). However,
most headers trying to include hash.h are only interested in the layout
of the structs like object_id. Move the parts of hash.h that do not
depend upon repository.h into a new file hash-ll.h (the "low level"
parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where
the convenience inline functions aren't needed.
This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers. It
also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was
brought in by repository.h) and repository.h (which was previously
implicitly brought in by object.h), so also adjust other files to be
more explicit about what they depend upon.

Dozens of files made use of gettext functions, without explicitly
including gettext.h. This made it more difficult to find which files
could remove a dependence on cache.h. Make C files explicitly include
gettext.h if they are using it.
However, while compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-darwin.c should also gain an
include of gettext.h, it was left out to avoid conflicting with an
in-flight topic.

Calls to `chdir()` are dangerous in a multi-threaded context. If
`unix_stream_listen()` or `unix_stream_connect()` is given a socket
pathname that is too long to fit in a `sockaddr_un` structure, it will
`chdir()` to the parent directory of the requested socket pathname,
create the socket using a relative pathname, and then `chdir()` back.
This is not thread-safe.
Teach `unix_sockaddr_init()` to not allow calls to `chdir()` when this
flag is set.

A handful of places in in-tree code still relied on being able to
execute the git subcommands, especially built-ins, in "git-foo"
form, which have been corrected.
* jc/undash-in-tree-git-callers:
credential-cache: use child_process.args
cvsexportcommit: do not run git programs in dashed form
transport-helper: do not run git-remote-ext etc. in dashed form
There's no real reason for credential helpers to be separate binaries. I
did them this way originally under the notion that helper don't _need_
to be part of Git, and so can be built totally separately (and indeed,
the ones in contrib/credential are). But the ones in our main Makefile
build on libgit.a, and the resulting binaries are reasonably large.
We can slim down our total disk footprint by just making them builtins.
This reduces the size of:
make strip install
from 29MB to 24MB on my Debian system.
Note that credential-cache can't operate without support for Unix
sockets. Currently we just don't build it at all when NO_UNIX_SOCKETS is
set. We could continue that with conditionals in the Makefile and our
list of builtins. But instead, let's build a dummy implementation that
dies with an informative message. That has two advantages:
- it's simpler, because the conditional bits are all kept inside
the credential-cache source
- a user who is expecting it to exist will be told _why_ they can't
use it, rather than getting the "credential-cache is not a git
command" error which makes it look like the Git install is broken.
Note that our dummy implementation does still respond to "-h" in order
to appease t0012 (and this may be a little friendlier for users, as
well).
