environment.c:get_git_namespace() learns the raw namespace from an
environment variable, splits it at "/", and appends them after
"refs/namespaces/"; the reason why it splits first is so that an
empty string resulting from double slashes can be omitted.
The split pieces do not need to be edited in any way, so an array of
strbufs is a wrong data structure to use. Instead split into a
string list and use the pieces from there.

When parsing an old-style GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS environment
variable, the code parses key=value pairs by splitting them at '='
into an array of strbuf's. As strbuf_split() leaves the delimiter
at the end of the split piece, the code has to manually trim it.
If we split with string_list_split(), that becomes unnecessary.
Retire the use of strbuf_split() from this code path.
Note that the max parameter of string_list_split() is of
an ergonomically iffy design---it specifies the maximum number of
times the function is allowed to split, which means that in order to
split a text into up to 2 pieces, you have to pass 1, not 2.

When reading copy instructions from the standard input, the program
reads a line, splits it into tokens at whitespace, and trims each of
the tokens before using. We no longer need to use strbuf just to be
able to trim, as string_list_split*() family now can trim while
splitting a string.
Retire the use of strbuf_split() from this code path.
Note that this loop is a bit sloppy in that it ensures at least
there are two tokens on each line, but ignores if there are extra
tokens on the line. Tightening it is outside the scope of this

The callee parse_choice() only needs to access a NUL-terminated

builtin/clean.c:parse_choice() is fed a single line of input, which
is space or comma separated list of tokens, and a list of menu
items. It parses the tokens into number ranges (e.g. 1-3 that means
the first three items) or string prefix (e.g. 's' to choose the menu
item "(s)elect") that specify the elements in the menu item list,
and tells the caller which ones are chosen.
For parsing the input string, it uses strbuf_split() to split it
into bunch of strbufs. Instead use string_list_split_in_place(),
for a few reasons.
* strbuf_split() is a bad API function to use, that yields an array
of strbuf that is a bad data structure to use in general.
* string_list_split_in_place() allows you to split with "comma or
space"; the current code has to preprocess the input string to
replace comma with space because strbuf_split() does not allow
this.

When you pass a structure by value, the callee can modify the
contents of the structure that was passed in without having to worry
about changing the structure the caller has. Passing structure by
value sometimes (but not very often) can be a valid way to give
callee a temporary variable it can freely modify.
But not a structure with members that are pointers, like a strbuf.
builtin/clean.c:list_and_choose() reads a line interactively from
the user, and passes the line (in a strbuf) to parse_choice() by
value, which then munges by replacing ',' with ' ' (to accept both
comma and space separated list of choices). But because the strbuf
passed by value still shares the underlying character array buf[],
this ends up munging the caller's strbuf contents.
This is a catastrophe waiting to happen. If the callee causes the
strbuf to be reallocated, the buf[] the caller has will become
dangling, and when the caller does strbuf_release(), it would result
in double-free.
Stop calling the function with misleading call-by-value with strbuf.

strbuf is a very good data structure to work with string data
without having to worry about running past the end of the string,
but strbuf_split() is a wrong API and an array of strbuf that the
function produces is a wrong thing to use in general. You do not
edit these N strings split out of a single strbuf simultaneously.
Often it is much better off to split a string into string_list and
work with the resulting strings.
wt-status.c:abbrev_oid_in_line() takes one line of rebase todo list
(like "pick e813a0200a7121b97fec535f0d0b460b0a33356c title"), and
for instructions that has an object name as the second token on the
line, replace the object name with its unique abbreviation. After
splitting these tokens out of a single line, no simultaneous edit on
any of these pieces of string that takes advantage of strbuf API
takes place. The final string is composed with strbuf API, but
these split pieces are merely used as pieces of strings and there is
no need for them to be stored in individual strbuf.
Instead, split the line into a string_list, and compose the final
string using these pieces.

Thanks to the previous step, the only difference between these two
related functions is that string_list_split() works on a string
without modifying its contents (i.e. taking "const char *") and the
resulting pieces of strings are their own copies in a string list,
while string_list_split_in_place() works on a mutable string and the
resulting pieces of strings come from the original string.
Consolidate their implementations into a single helper function, and
make them a thin wrapper around it. We can later add an extra flags

strbuf_trim_trailing_newline() removes trailing CRLF from the string.
In particular, it first removes LF if present, and if that was the

git_read_line_interactively() clearly intends to remove CRLF as it
calls strbuf_trim_trailing_newline(). However, input is gathered using
strbuf_getline_lf(), which already removes the trailing LF. Now
strbuf_trim_trailing_newline() does not see LF, so that it does not
remove CR, either, and leaves it for the caller to process.

TclTk 9.0 is now shipping, and git-gui is now patched to support use of

git-gui in the prior commit learned to apply -profile tcl8 when reading
files, avoiding errors on non-binary data streams whose encoding is not
utf-8. But, git-gui also consumes binary data streams (generally blobs
from commits) as the output of commands, and internally decodes this to
support various displays.
With Tcl9, errors occur in this decoding for the same reasons described
in the previous commit: basically, the underlying data may contain
extended ascii characters violating the assumption of utf-8 encoding.
This problem has a similar fix to the prior issue: we must use the tlc8
profile when converting this data to the internal unicode format. Do so,
again only on Tcl9 as Tcl8.6 does not recognize -profile, and only Tcl
9.0 makes strict the default.
Signed-off-by: Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com>
git-gui invokes many git commands expecting output in utf-8 encoding,
but git accepts extended ascii (code page unknown) as utf-8 without
validating, so cannot guarantee valid utf-8 on output. In particular,
using any extended ascii code page has long been acceptable on git given
that everyone on a project is aware of and uses that same code page to
view all data. utf-8 accepts only 7-bit ascii characters in single
bytes, and any characters outside of that base set require at least two
bytes for representation in unicode.
Tcl is a string based language, and transcodes all input data to an
internal unicode format, and to whatever format is requested on output:
"pure" binary is recoded byte by byte using iso8859-1. Tcl8.x silently
recodes invalid utf-8 as binary data, so extended ascii characters
maintain their binary value on output but may not display correctly.
Tcl 8.7 added three profiles to control this behaviour: strict (raises
exceptions), replace (replaces each invalid byte with ?), and the
default tcl8 maintaining the old behavior. Tcl 9 changes the default
profile to strict, meaning any invalid utf-8 raises an exception that
git-gui does not handle.
An example of this in the git repository is commit 7eb93c8965 ("[PATCH]
Simplify git script", 2005-09-07). This includes extended ascii
characters in the author name and commit message.
The tcl8 profile used so far has acceptable behavior given git-gui's
acceptance: this allows git-gui to accept extended ascii though it may
display incorrectly. Let's continue that behavior by overriding open to
use the tcl8 profile on Tcl9 and later: Tcl 8.6 does not understand
fconfigure -profile, and Tcl 8.7 maintains the tcl8 profile.

git-gui configures '-translation lf' on a number of channels. The
default configuration is 'auto', which on input changes any occurrence
of \n, \r, or \r\n to \n, and on output changes any such EOL sequence to
a platform dependent value (\n on Unix, \r\n on Windows). Such
translation can be necessary, but much of what is configured now is
redundant.
In particular, many of the channels configured this way are then
consumed by gets, which already recognizes any of \n, \r, or \r\n as
terminators. Configuring a channel to first change these line endings,
then give the result to gets, is redundant.
The valid uses of -translation lf are for output where we do not want
\r\n on Windows, and for consuming entire files without going through
gets, assuring that \n will be used internally. Let's remove all the
others that only serve to confuse.
lib/diff.tcl must have -translation lf because \r\n might be stored in
the repository (e.g., on Windows, with no crlf translation enabled), and
git will treat \n as the line ending, while the preceding \r is just
whitespace, and these may be split by ANSI color coding. git-gui's
read_diff handles this correctly as-is.
