When fsck validates a commit or a tag, it scans each line in the
header of the object using helper functions such as "start_with()",
etc. that work on a NUL terminated buffer, but before a1e920a0
(index-pack: terminate object buffers with NUL, 2014-12-08), the
validation functions were fed the object data in a piece of memory
that is not necessarily terminated with a NUL.
We added a helper function require_end_of_header() to be called at
the beginning of these validation functions to insist that the
object data contains an empty line before its end. The theory is
that the validating functions will notice and stop when it hits an
empty line as a normal end of header (or a required header line that
is missing) without scanning past the end of potentially not
NUL-terminated buffer.
But the theory forgot that in the older days, Git itself happily
created objects with only the header lines without a body. This
caused Git 2.2 and later to issue an unnecessary warning in some
existing repositories.
With a1e920a0, we do not need to require an empty line (or the body)
in these objects to safely parse and validate them. Drop the
offending "must have an empty line" check from this helper function,
while keeping the other check to make sure that there is no NUL in
the header part of the object, and adjust the name of the helper to
what it does accordingly.

The optional new config option `receive.fsck.skipList` specifies the path
to a file listing the names, i.e. SHA-1s, one per line, of objects that
are to be ignored by `git receive-pack` when `receive.fsckObjects = true`.
This is extremely handy in case of legacy repositories where it would
cause more pain to change incorrect objects than to live with them
(e.g. a duplicate 'author' line in an early commit object).
The intended use case is for server administrators to inspect objects
that are reported by `git push` as being too problematic to enter the
repository, and to add the objects' SHA-1 to a (preferably sorted) file
when the objects are legitimate, i.e. when it is determined that those
problematic objects should be allowed to enter the server.

There are legacy repositories out there whose older commits and tags
have issues that prevent pushing them when 'receive.fsckObjects' is set.
One real-life example is a commit object that has been hand-crafted to
list two authors.
Often, it is not possible to fix those issues without disrupting the
work with said repositories, yet it is still desirable to perform checks
by setting `receive.fsckObjects = true`. This commit is the first step
to allow demoting specific fsck issues to mere warnings.
The `fsck_set_msg_types()` function added by this commit parses a list
of settings in the form:
missingemail=warn,badname=warn,...
Unfortunately, the FSCK_WARN/FSCK_ERROR flag is only really heeded by
git fsck so far, but other call paths (e.g. git index-pack --strict)
error out *always* no matter what type was specified. Therefore, we need
to take extra care to set all message types to FSCK_ERROR by default in
those cases.

handle partial strings because we would like to be able to parse, say,
'missingemail=warn,missingtaggerentry=warn' command line parameters
(which will be passed by receive-pack to index-pack and unpack-objects).
To make the parsing robust, we generate strings from the enum keys, and
using these keys, we match up strings without dashes case-insensitively

Instead of specifying whether a message by the fsck machinery constitutes
an error or a warning, let's specify an identifier relating to the
concrete problem that was encountered. This is necessary for upcoming
support to be able to demote certain errors to warnings.
In the process, simplify the requirements on the calling code: instead of
having to handle full-blown varargs in every callback, we now send a
string buffer ready to be used by the callback.
We could use a simple enum for the message IDs here, but we want to
guarantee that the enum values are associated with the appropriate
message types (i.e. error or warning?). Besides, we want to introduce a
parser in the next commit that maps the string representation to the
enum value, hence we use the slightly ugly preprocessor construct that
is extensible for use with said parser.

Now that the index can block pathnames that can be mistaken
to mean ".git" on NTFS and FAT32, it would be helpful for
fsck to notice such problematic paths. This lets servers
which use receive.fsckObjects block them before the damage
spreads.
Note that the fsck check is always on, even for systems
without core.protectNTFS set. This is technically more
restrictive than we need to be, as a set of users on ext4
could happily use these odd filenames without caring about
NTFS.
However, on balance, it's helpful for all servers to block
these (because the paths can be used for mischief, and
servers which bother to fsck would want to stop the spread
whether they are on NTFS themselves or not), and hardly
anybody will be affected (because the blocked names are
variants of .git or git~1, meaning mischief is almost
certainly what the tree author had in mind).
Ideally these would be controlled by a separate
"fsck.protectNTFS" flag. However, it would be much nicer to
be able to enable/disable _any_ fsck flag individually, and
any scheme we choose should match such a system. Given the
likelihood of anybody using such a path in practice, it is

When we detect an invalid tag-name header in a tag object,
like, "tag foo bar\n", we feed the pointer starting at "foo

want, but then it keeps printing the rest of the tag buffer,
rather than stopping at the end of the line.
Our tests did not notice because they look only for the
matching line, but the bug is that we print much more than
we wanted to. So we also adjust the test to be more exact.
Note that when fscking tags with "index-pack --strict", this
is even worse. index-pack does not add a trailing
NUL-terminator after the object, so we may actually read
past the buffer and print uninitialized memory. Running

When fsck'ing an incoming pack, we need to fsck objects that cannot be

For commits, there is a hack in place: we basically cache commit
objects' buffers anyway, but the same is not true, say, for tag objects.
By refactoring fsck_object() to take the object buffer and size as
optional arguments -- optional, because we still fall back to the
previous method to look at the cached commit objects if the caller
passes NULL -- we prepare the machinery for the upcoming handling of tag
objects.
The assumption that such buffers are inherently NUL terminated is now

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);

Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.
For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.
This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass

An empty tree object is _unusual_. Recent porcelains try reasonably hard
not to let the user create a commit that contains such a tree. Perhaps
warning about them in git-fsck may have some merit.
HOWEVER.
Being unusual and being errorneous are two quite different things. This
is especially true now we seem to use the same fsck_$object() code in
places other than git-fsck itself. For example, receive-pack should not
reject unusual objects, even if it would be a good idea to tighten it to
reject incorrect ones.

The requirements are:
* it may not crash on NULL pointers
* a callback function is needed, as index-pack/unpack-objects
need to do different things
* the type information is needed to check the expected <-> real type
and print better error messages

The earlier change df391b192 to rename fsck-objects to fsck broke
fsck-objects. This should fix it again.
