When checkout-cache attempts to check out a non-directory where
a directory exists on the work tree, or to check out a file
under directory D when path D is a non-directory on the work
tree, the attempt fails. Before running checkout-cache, the
user can run git-ls-files with the -k (killed) option to get a
list of such paths. The tagged output format uses "K" to denote
them. This is useful for Porcelain layer to be careful when
dealing with the recently corrected behaviour of checkout-cache.

It is kind of surprising that this was missed in the last round,
but the work tree scanner in git-ls-files was still deliberately
ignoring symlinks. This patch fixes it, so that --others will

Fix checkout-cache when existing work tree interferes with the checkout.
This is essentially the same one as the last one I sent to the
GIT list, except that the patch is rebased to the current tip of
the git-pb tree, and an unnecessary call to create_directories()
removed.
The checkout-cache command gets confused when checking out a
file in a subdirectory and the work tree has a symlink to the
subdirectory. Also it fails to check things out when there is a
non-directory in the work tree when cache expects a directory
there, and vice versa. This patch fixes the first problem by
making sure all the leading paths in the file being checked out
are indeed directories, and also fixes directory vs
non-directory conflicts when '-f' is specified by removing the
offending paths.

cleanup: this patch adds a free() to ls-tree.c.
(Technically it's not a memory leak yet because the buffer is allocated
once by the function and then the utility exits - but it's a tad cleaner
to not leave such assumptions in the code, so that if someone reuses the
function (or extends the utility to include a loop) the uncleanliness
doesnt develop into a real memory leak.)

this patch fixes a 1-byte overflow in update-cache.c (probably not
exploitable). A specially crafted db object might trigger this overflow.
the bug is that normally the 'type' field is parsed by read_sha1_file(),
via:
if (sscanf(buffer, "%10s %lu", type, size) != 2)
i.e. 0-10 long strings, which take 1-11 bytes of space. Normally the
type strings are stored in char [20] arrays, but in update-cache.c that
is char [10], so a 1 byte overflow might occur.
This should not happen with a 'friendly' DB, as the longest type string
("commit") is 7 bytes long. The fix is to use the customary char [20].
(someone might want to clean those open-coded constants up with a
TYPE_LEN define, they do tend to cause problems like this. I'm not
against open-coded constants (they make code much more readable), but
for fields that get filled in from possibly hostile objects this is
playing with fire.)
hey, this might be the first true security fix for GIT? ;-)

When you pass git-merge-cache the -o option, it tries to do all the
automatic merges and possibly return error if any of them failed, instead
of the default behaviour of failing immediately after the first failed
automatic merge.
Ported from the Cogito branch - Cogito needs this behaviour.
This allows git to be built even with linkers which are not smart enough
to join those symbols, and makes this correct C. Pointed out by several
people.
Mark Allen had trouble with building GIT on his Darwin and
posted a patch to link with -lcrypto instead of -lssl on Darwin.
Later Daniel Barkalow suggested to change it for everybody who
uses openssl, because the relevant functionality is in -lcrypto
not in -lssl, and the current linking happens to work only
because -lssl pulls in -lcrypto.

During the mailing list discussion on renaming GIT_ environment
variables, people felt that having one environment that lets the
user (or Porcelain) specify both SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY (now
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY) and GIT_INDEX_FILE for the default layout
would be handy. This change introduces GIT_DIR environment
variable, from which the defaults for GIT_INDEX_FILE and
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY are derived. When GIT_DIR is not defined,
it defaults to ".git". GIT_INDEX_FILE defaults to
"$GIT_DIR/index" and GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY defaults to
"$GIT_DIR/objects".
Special thanks for ideas and discussions go to Petr Baudis and
Daniel Barkalow. Bugs are mine ;-)

H. Peter Anvin mentioned that using SHA1_whatever as an
environment variable name is not nice and we should instead use
names starting with "GIT_" prefix to avoid conflicts. Here is
what this patch does:
* Renames the following environment variables:
New name Old Name
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_DATE
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_EMAIL
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME AUTHOR_NAME
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY
* Introduces a compatibility macro, gitenv(), which does an
getenv() and if it fails calls gitenv_bc(), which in turn
picks up the value from old name while giving a warning about
using an old name.
* Changes all users of the environment variable to fetch
environment variable with the new name using gitenv().
* Updates the documentation and scripts shipped with Linus GIT
distribution.
The transition plan is as follows:
* We will keep the backward compatibility list used by gitenv()
for now, so the current scripts and user environments
continue to work as before. The users will get warnings when
they have old name but not new name in their environment to
the stderr.
* The Porcelain layers should start using new names. However,
just in case it ends up calling old Plumbing layer
implementation, they should also export old names, taking
values from the corresponding new names, during the
transition period.
* After a transition period, we would drop the compatibility
support and drop gitenv(). Revert the callers to directly
call getenv() but keep using the new names.
The last part is probably optional and the transition
duration needs to be set to a reasonable value.

When we used to have "path" as a file or a symlink, but now we
have "path/file" (or in general, have "path" as a directory), we
would want to remove "path" before adding "path/file". The
logic in add_file_to_cache() only runs lstat() and does not
detect this case and fails to allow removing it in this case.
In the opposite case of having "path/file" in the index and
having "path" on the filesystem as a file or a symlink we do
allow removal of "path/file", so to be symmetric we should allow
it as well, without forcing the user to say --force-remove.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
When "path" exists as a file or a symlink in the index, an
attempt to add "path/file" is refused because it results in file
vs directory conflict. Similarly when "path/file1",
"path/file2", etc. exist, an attempt to add "path" as a file or
a symlink is refused. With git-update-cache --replace, these
existing entries that conflict with the entry being added are
automatically removed from the cache, with warning messages.

Kay Sievers noticed that you can have both path and path/file in
the cache and write-tree happily creates a tree object from such
a state. Since a merge can result in such situation and the
user should be able to see the situation by looking at the
cache, rather than forbidding add_cache_entry() to create such
conflicts, fix it by making write-tree refuse to write such an
nonsensical tree. Here is a test case.
-- test case --
$ ls -a
./ ../
$ git-init-db
