Junio C Hamano 540aaa607c Merge branch 'ps/config-wo-the-repository'
The config API had a set of convenience wrapper functions that
implicitly use the_repository instance; they have been removed and
inlined at the calling sites.

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 a538250d97 config: drop `git_config_set_multivar()` 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_multivar()`.
All callsites are adjusted so that they use
`repo_config_set_multivar(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.

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.

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.

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 a70a9bf6ee config: fix constness of out parameter for `git_config_get_expiry()`
The type of the out parameter of `git_config_get_expiry()` is a pointer
to a constant string, which creates the impression that ownership of the
returned data wasn't transferred to the caller. This isn't true though
and thus quite misleading.

Adapt the parameter to be of type `char **` and adjust callers
accordingly. While at it, refactor `get_shared_index_expire_date()` to
drop the static `shared_index_expire` variable. It is only used in that
function, and furthermore we would only hit the code where we parse the
expiry date a single time because we already use a static `prepared`
variable to track whether we did parse it.

Patrick Steinhardt 036876a106 config: hide functions using `the_repository` by default
The config subsystem provides a bunch of legacy functions that read or
set configuration for `the_repository`. The use of those functions is
discouraged, and it is easy to miss the implicit dependency on
`the_repository` that calls to those functions may cause.

Move all config-related functions that use `the_repository` into a block
that gets only conditionally compiled depending on whether or not the
macro has been defined. This also removes all dependencies on that
variable in "config.c", allowing us to remove the definition of said
preprocessor macro.

Taylor Blau 5831f8ac41 config: introduce `git_config_double()`
Future commits will want to parse a double-precision floating point
value from configuration, but we have no way to parse such a value prior
to this patch.

The core of the routine is implemented in git_parse_double(). Unlike
git_parse_unsigned() and git_parse_signed(), however, the function
implemented here only works on type "double", and not related types like
"float", or "long double".

This is because "float" and "long double" use different functions to
convert from ASCII strings to floating point values (strtof() and
strtold(), respectively). Likewise, there is no pointer type that can
assign to any of these values (except for "void *"), so the only way to
define this trio of functions would be with a macro expansion that is
parameterized over the floating point type and conversion function.

That is all doable, but likely to be overkill given our current needs,
which is only to parse double-precision floats.

Patrick Steinhardt a78b462976 config: clarify memory ownership when preparing comment strings
The ownership of memory returned when preparing a comment string is
quite intricate: when the returned value is different than the passed
value, then the caller is responsible to free the memory. This is quite
subtle, and it's even easier to miss because the returned value is in
fact a `const char *`.

Adapt the function to always return either `NULL` or a newly allocated
string. The function is called at most once per git-config(1), so it's
not like this micro-optimization really matters. Thus, callers are now
always responsible for freeing the value.

Junio C Hamano 31399a6b61 config: allow tweaking whitespace between value and comment
Extending the previous step, this allows the whitespace placed after
the value before the "# comment message" to be tweaked by tweaking
the preprocessing rule to:

 * If the given comment string begins with one or more whitespace
   characters followed by '#', it is passed intact.

 * If the given comment string begins with '#', a Space is
   prepended.

 * Otherwise, " # " (Space, '#', Space) is prefixed.

 * A string with LF in it cannot be used as a comment string.

Unlike the previous step, which unconditionally added a space after
the value before writing the "# comment string", because the above
preprocessing already gives a whitespace before the '#', the
resulting string is written immediately after copying the value.

And the sanity checking rule becomes

 * comment string after the above massaging that comes into
   git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently() must

   - begin with zero or more whitespace characters followed by '#'.
   - not have a LF in it.

I personally think this is over-engineered, but since I thought
things through anyway, here it is in the patch form.  The logic to
tweak end-user supplied comment string is encapsulated in a new
helper function, git_config_prepare_comment_string(), so if new
front-end callers would want to use the same massaging rules, it is
easily reused.

Unfortunately I do not think of a way to tweak the preprocessing
rules further to optionally allow having no blank after the value,
i.e. to produce

	[section]
		variable = value#comment

(which is a valid way to say section.variable=value, by the way)
without sacrificing the ergonomics for the more usual case, so this
time I really stop here.

Ralph Seichter 42d5c03394 config: add --comment option to add a comment
Introduce the ability to append comments to modifications
made using git-config. Example usage:

  git config --comment "changed via script" \
    --add safe.directory /home/alice/repo.git

based on the proposed patch, the output produced is:

  [safe]
    directory = /home/alice/repo.git #changed via script

Users need to be able to distinguish between config entries made
using automation and entries made by a human. Automation can add
comments containing a URL pointing to explanations for the change
made, avoiding questions from users as to why their config file
was changed by a third party.

The implementation ensures that a # character is unconditionally
prepended to the provided comment string, and that the comment
text is appended as a suffix to the changed key-value-pair in the
same line of text. Multi-line comments (i.e. comments containing
linefeed) are rejected as errors, causing Git to exit without
making changes.

Comments are aimed at humans who inspect or change their Git
config using a pager or editor. Comments are not meant to be
read or displayed by git-config at a later time.

instead of "config_reader.source". "struct config_source" is internal to

into a public function signature defined in config.h, but this is okay
because this function has only ever been (and probably ever will be)
used internally by config.c.

As a result, the_reader isn't used anywhere, so "struct config_reader"
is obsolete (it was only intended to be used with the_reader). Remove
them.
