We have a pattern like:

else if (error2)

This is a little subtle because it is the return in the success block
that lets us skip the common error handling. Rewrite this instead to
free the buffer in each error path, marking it as NULL, and then all
code paths can use the common return.
This should make the logic a bit easier to follow. It does mean

Inflating a loose object is considered successful only if we got
Z_STREAM_END and there were no more bytes. We check both of those
conditions and return success, but then have to check them a second time
to decide which error message to produce.
I.e., we do something like this:
if (!error_1 && !error_2)
...return success...
if (error_1)
...handle error1...
else if (error_2)
...handle error2...
...common error handling...
This repetition was the source of a small bug fixed in an earlier commit
(our Z_STREAM_END check was not the same in the two conditionals).
Instead we can chain them all into a single if/else cascade, which
avoids repeating ourselves:
if (error_1)
...handle error1...
else if (error_2)
...handle error2....
else
...return success...

The unpack_loose_rest() function has funny ownership semantics: we pass
in a z_stream opened by the caller, but then only _sometimes_ close it.
This oddity has developed over time. When the function was originally
split out in 5180cacc20 (Split up unpack_sha1_file() some more,
2005-06-02), it always called inflateEnd() to clean up the stream
(though nowadays it is a git_zstream and we call git_inflate_end()).
But in 7efbff7531 (unpack_sha1_file(): detect corrupt loose object
files., 2007-03-05) we added error code paths which don't close the
stream. This makes some sense, as we'd still look at parts of the stream
struct to decide which error to show (though I am not sure in practice
if inflateEnd() even touches those fields).
This subtlety makes it hard to know when the caller has to clean up the
stream and when it does not. That led to the leak fixed by aa9ef614dc
(object-file: fix memory leak when reading corrupted headers,
2024-08-14).
Let's instead always leave the stream intact, forcing the caller to
clean it up. You might think that would create more work for the
callers, but it actually ends up simplifying them, since they can put
the call to git_inflate_end() in the common cleanup code path.
Two things to note, though:
- The check_stream_oid() function is used as a replacement for
unpack_loose_rest() in read_loose_object() to read blobs. It
inherited the same funny semantics, and we should fix it here, too
(to keep the cleanup in read_loose_object() consistent).
- In read_loose_object() we need a second "out" label, as we can jump
to the existing label before opening the stream at all (and since
the struct is opaque, there is no way to if it was initialized or
not, so we must not call git_inflate_end() in that case).

When unpacking the actual content of a loose object file, we insist both
that the status code we got is Z_STREAM_END, and that we consumed all
bytes.
If we didn't, we'll return an error, but the specific error message we
produce depends on which of the two error conditions we saw. So we'll
check both a second time to decide which error to produce. But this
second time, our status code check is loose: it checks for a negative
status value.
This can get confused by zlib codes which are not negative, such as
Z_NEED_DICT. In this case we'd erroneously print nothing at all, when we
should say "corrupt loose object".
Instead, this second check should check explicitly against Z_STREAM_END.
Note that Z_OK is "0", so the existing code also produced no message for
Z_OK. But it's impossible to see that status, since we only break out of
the inflate loop when we stop seeing Z_OK (so a stream which has more
bytes than its object header claims would eventually yield Z_BUF_ERROR).
There's no test here, as it would require a loose object whose zlib
stream returns Z_NEED_DICT in the middle of the object content. I think
that is probably possible, but even our Z_NEED_DICT test in t1006 does
not trigger this, because we hit that error while reading the header. I
found this bug while reviewing all callers of git_inflate() for bugs
similar to the one we saw in unpack_loose_header(). This was the only
other case that did a numeric comparison rather than explicitly checking
for Z_STREAM_END.

When unpacking a loose header, we try to inflate the first 32 bytes.
We'd expect either Z_OK (we filled up the output buffer, but there are
more bytes in the object) or Z_STREAM_END (this is a tiny object whose
header and content fit in the buffer).
We check for that with "if (status < Z_OK)", making the assumption that
all of the errors we'd see have negative values (as Z_OK itself is "0",
and Z_STREAM_END is "1").
But there's at least one case this misses: Z_NEED_DICT is "2". This
isn't something we'd ever expect to see, but if we do see it, we should
consider it an error (since we have no dictionary to load).
Instead, the current code interprets Z_NEED_DICT as success and looks
for the object header's terminating NUL in the bytes we've read. This
will generaly be zero bytes if the dictionary is mentioned at the start
of the stream. So we'll fail to find it and complain "the header is too
long" (ULHR_LONG). But really, the problem is that the object is
malformed, and we should return ULHR_BAD.
This is a minor bug, as we consider both cases to be an error. But it
does mean we print the wrong error message. The test case added in the
previous patch triggers this code, so we can just confirm the error
message we see here.

This fixes a case where malformed object input can cause us to hit a
BUG() call in the git-zlib.c code.
The zlib format allows the use of preset dictionaries to reduce the size
of deflated data. The checksum of the dictionary is computed by the
deflate code and goes into the stream. On the inflating side, zlib sees
the dictionary checksum and returns Z_NEED_DICT, asking the caller to
provide the dictionary data via inflateSetDictionary().
This should never happen in Git, because we never provide a dictionary
for deflating (and if we get a stream that mentions a dictionary, we
have no idea how to provide it). So normally Z_NEED_DICT is a hard error
for us. But something interesting happens if we _do_ happen to see it
(e.g., because of a corrupt or malicious input).
In git_inflate() as we loop over calls to zlib's inflate(), we translate
between our large-integer git_zstream values and zlib's native z_stream
types, copying in and out with zlib_pre_call() and zlib_post_call(). In
zlib_post_call() we have a few sanity checks, including one that checks
that the number of bytes consumed by zlib (as measured by it moving the
"next_in" pointer) is equal to the movement of its "total_in" count.
But these do not correspond when we see Z_NEED_DICT! Zlib consumes the
bytes from the input buffer but it does not increment total_in. And so
we hit the BUG("total_in mismatch") call.
There are a few options here:
- We could ditch that BUG() check. It is making too many assumptions
about how zlib updates these values. But it does have value in most
cases as a sanity check on the values we're copying.
- We could skip the zlib_post_call() entirely when we see Z_NEED_DICT.
We know that it's hard error for us, so we should just send the
status up the stack and let the caller bail.
The downside is that if we ever did want to support dictionaries,
we couldn't (the git_zstream will be out of sync, since we never
copied its values back from the z_stream).
- We could continue to call zlib_post_call(), but skip just that BUG()
check if the status is Z_NEED_DICT. This keeps git_inflate() as a
thin wrapper around inflate(), and would let us later support
dictionaries for some calls if we wanted to.
This patch uses the third approach. It seems like the least-surprising
thing to keep git_inflate() a close to inflate() as possible. And while
it makes the diff a bit larger (since we have to pass the status down to
to the zlib_post_call() function), it's a static local function, and
every caller by definition will have just made a zlib call (and so will
have a status integer).

When reading a loose object, we first try to expand the first 32 bytes
to read the type+size header. This is enough for any of the normal Git
types. But since 46f034483e (sha1_file: support reading from a loose
object of unknown type, 2015-05-03), the caller can also ask us to parse
any unknown names, which can be much longer. In this case we keep
inflating until we find the NUL at the end of the header, or hit
Z_STREAM_END.
But what if zlib can't make forward progress? For example, if the loose
object file is truncated, we'll have no more data to feed it. It will
return Z_BUF_ERROR, and we'll just loop infinitely, calling
git_inflate() over and over but never seeing new bytes nor an
end-of-stream marker.
We can fix this by only looping when we think we can make forward
progress. This will always be Z_OK in this case. In other code we might
also be able to continue on Z_BUF_ERROR, but:
- We will never see Z_BUF_ERROR because the output buffer is full; we
always feed a fresh 32-byte buffer on each call to git_inflate().
- We may see Z_BUF_ERROR if we run out of input. But since we've fed
the whole mmap'd buffer to zlib, if it runs out of input there is
nothing more we can do.
So if we don't see Z_OK (and didn't see the end-of-header NUL, otherwise
we'd have broken out of the loop), then we should stop looping and
return an error.
The test case shows an example where the input is truncated (which gives
us the input Z_BUF_ERROR case above).
Although we do operate on objects we might get from an untrusted remote,
I don't think the security implications of this bug are too great. It
can only trigger if both of these are true:
- You're reading a loose object whose on-disk representation was
written by an attacker. So fetching an object (or receiving a push)
are mostly OK, because even with unpack-objects it is our local,
trusted code that writes out the object file. The exception may be
fetching from an untrusted local repo, or using dumb-http, which
copies objects verbatim. But...
- The only code path which triggers the inflate loop is cat-file's
--allow-unknown-type option. This is unlikely to be called at all
outside of debugging. But I also suspect that objects with
non-standard types (or that are truncated) would not survive the
usual fetch/receive checks in the first place.
So I think it would be quite hard to trick somebody into running the
infinite loop, and we can just fix the bug.

If a caller asks us to read the whole loose object header value into a
strbuf (e.g., via "cat-file --allow-unknown-type"), we'll keep reading
until we see a NUL byte marking the end of the header.
If we hit Z_STREAM_END before seeing the NUL, we obviously have to stop.
But we return ULHR_TOO_LONG, which doesn't make any sense. The "too
long" return code is used in the normal, 32-byte limited mode to
indicate that we stopped looking. There is no such thing as "too long"
here, as we'd keep reading forever until we see the end of stream or the
NUL.
Instead, we should return ULHR_BAD. The loose object has no NUL marking
the end of header, so it is malformed. The behavior difference is
slight; in either case we'd consider the object unreadable and refuse to
go further. The only difference is the specific error message we
produce.
There's no test case here, as we'd need to generate a valid zlib stream
without a NUL. That's not something Git will do without writing new
custom code. And in the next patch we'll fix another bug in this area
which will make this easier to do (and we will test it then).

When using OBJECT_INFO_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_TYPE to unpack a header that
doesn't fit into our initial 32-byte buffer, we loop over calls
git_inflate(), feeding it our buffer to the "next_out" pointer each
time. As the code is written, we reset next_out after each inflate call
(and after reading the output), ready for the next loop.
This isn't wrong, but there are a few advantages to setting up
"next_out" right before each inflate call, rather than after:
1. It drops a few duplicated lines of code.
2. It makes it obvious that we always feed a fresh buffer on each call
(and thus can never see Z_BUF_ERROR due to due to a lack of output
space).
3. After we exit the loop, we'll leave stream->next_out pointing to
the end of the fetched data (this is how zlib callers find out how
much data is in the buffer). This doesn't matter in practice, since
nobody looks at it again. But it's probably the least-surprising
thing to do, as it matches how next_out is left when the whole
thing fits in the initial 32-byte buffer (and we don't enter the
loop at all).

After unpack_loose_header() returns, it will have inflated not only the
object header, but possibly some bytes of the object content. When we
call unpack_loose_rest() to extract the actual content, it finds those
extra bytes by skipping past the header's terminating NUL in the buffer.
Like this:
int bytes = strlen(buffer) + 1;
n = stream->total_out - bytes;
...
memcpy(buf, (char *) buffer + bytes, n);
This won't work with the OBJECT_INFO_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_TYPE flag, as there
we allow a header of arbitrary size. We put into a strbuf, but feed only
the final 32-byte chunk we read to unpack_loose_rest(). In that case
stream->total_out may unexpectedly large, and thus our "n" will be
large, causing an out-of-bounds read (we do check it against our
allocated buffer size, which prevents an out-of-bounds write).
Probably this could be made to work by feeding the strbuf to
unpack_loose_rest(), along with adjusting some types (e.g., "bytes"
would need to be a size_t, since it is no longer operating on a 32-byte
buffer).
But I don't think it's possible to actually trigger this in practice.
The only caller who passes ALLOW_UNKNOWN_TYPE is cat-file, which only
allows it with the "-t" and "-s" options (neither of which access the
content). There is one way you can _almost_ trigger it: the oid compat
routines (i.e., accessing sha1 via sha256 names and vice versa) will
convert objects on the fly (which requires access to the content) using
the same flags that were passed in. So in theory this:
t='some very large type field that causes an extra inflate call'
sha1_oid=$(git hash-object -w -t "$t" file)
sha256_oid=$(git rev-parse --output-object-format=sha256 $sha1_oid)
git cat-file --allow-unknown-type -s $sha256_oid
would try to access the content. But it doesn't work, because using
compat objects requires an entry in the .git/objects/loose-object-idx
file, and we don't generate such an entry for non-standard types (see
the "compat" section of write_object_file_literally()).
If we use "t=blob" instead, then it does access the compat object, but
it doesn't trigger the problem (because "blob" is a standard short type
name, and it fits in the initial 32-byte buffer).
So given that this is almost a memory error bug, I think it's worth
addressing. But because we can't actually trigger the situation, I'm
hesitant to try a fix that we can't run. Instead let's document the
restriction and protect ourselves from the out-of-bounds read by adding
a BUG() check.

For an extended period of time, we've enabled libcurl's netrc
functionality, which will read credentials from the netrc file if none
are provided. Unfortunately, we have also not documented this fact or
written any tests for it, but people have come to rely on it.
In 610cbc1dfb ("http: allow authenticating proactively", 2024-07-10), we
accidentally broke the ability of users to use the netrc file for the
WebDAV-based HTTP protocol. Notably, it works on the initial request
but does not work on subsequent requests, which causes failures because
that version of the protocol will necessarily make multiple requests.
This happens because curl_empty_auth_enabled never returns -1, only 0 or
1, and so if http.proactiveAuth is not enabled, the username and
password are always set to empty credentials, which prevents libcurl's
fallback to netrc from working. However, in other cases, the server
continues to get a 401 response and the credential helper is invoked,
which is the normal behavior, so this was not noticed earlier.
To fix this, change the condition to check for enabling empty auth and
also not having proactive auth enabled, which should result in the
username and password not being set to a single colon in the typical
case, and thus the netrc file being used.

Since 183ea3ea (Merge branch 'ps/mingw-rename', 2024-11-13),
a new technique is used on Windows to rename files, where supported.
The first step of this technique is to open the file with
`CreateFileW`. At that time, `FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL` was passed as
the value of the `dwFlagsAndAttributes` argument. In b30404df [2], this
was improved by passing `FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS`, to support
directories as well as regular files.
However, neither value of `dwFlagsAndAttributes` is sufficient to open
a symbolic link with the correct semantics to rename it. Symlinks on
Windows are reparse points. Attempting to open a reparse point with
`CreateFileW` dereferences the reparse point and opens the target
instead, unless `FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT` is included in
`dwFlagsAndAttributes`. This is documented for that flag and in the
"Symbolic Link Behavior" section of the `CreateFileW` docs [3].
This produces a regression where attempting to rename a symlink on
Windows renames its target to the intended new name and location of the
symlink. For example, if `symlink` points to `file`, then running
git mv symlink symlink-renamed
leaves `symlink` in place and unchanged, but renames `file` to
`symlink-renamed` [4].
This regression is detectable by existing tests in `t7001-mv.sh`, but
the tests must be run by a Windows user with the ability to create
symlinks, and the `ln -s` command used to create the initial symlink
must also be able to create a real symlink (such as by setting the
`MSYS` environment variable to `winsymlinks:nativestrict`). Then
these two tests fail if the regression is present, and pass otherwise:
38 - git mv should overwrite file with a symlink
39 - check moved symlink
Let's fix this, so that renaming a symlink again renames the symlink
itself and leaves the target unchanged, by passing
FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS | FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT
as the `dwFlagsAndAttributes` argument. This is sufficient (and safe)
because including `FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT` causes no harm even
when used to open a file or directory that is not a reparse point. In
that case, as noted in [3], this flag is simply ignored.

The "git refs migrate" subcommand converts the backend used for ref
storage. It always migrates reflog data as well as refs. Introduce an
option to exclude reflogs from migration, allowing them to be discarded
when they are unnecessary.
This is particularly useful in server-side repositories, where reflogs
are typically not expected. However, some repositories may still have
them due to historical reasons, such as bugs, misconfigurations, or
administrative decisions to enable reflogs for debugging. In such
repositories, it would be optimal to drop reflogs during the migration.
To address this, introduce the '--no-reflog' flag, which prevents reflog
migration. When this flag is used, reflogs from the original reference
backend are migrated. Since only the new reference backend remains in
the repository, all previous reflogs are permanently discarded.

noticed though due to the first issue.
Fix both of these issues by fixing both the job and option naems.

Upstream Git has introduced support for the Meson build system.
Introduce support for Meson into gitk, as well, so that Git can easily
build its vendored copy of Gitk via a `subproject()` directive. The
instructions can be set up as follows:
$ meson setup build
$ meson compile -C build
$ meson install -C build
Specific options, like for example where Gitk shall be installed to, can
be specified at setup time via `-D`. Available options can be discovered
by running `meson configure` either in the source or build directory.

As some issues that can happen with a Git client can be operating system
specific, it can be useful for a server to know which OS a client is
using. In the same way it can be useful for a client to know which OS
a server is using.
Our current agent capability is in the form of "package/version" (e.g.,
"git/1.8.3.1"). Let's extend it to include the operating system name (os)
i.e in the form "package/version-os" (e.g., "git/1.8.3.1-Linux").
Including OS details in the agent capability simplifies implementation,
maintains backward compatibility, avoids introducing a new capability,
encourages adoption across Git-compatible software, and enhances
debugging by providing complete environment information without affecting
functionality. The operating system name is retrieved using the 'sysname'
field of the `uname(2)` system call or its equivalent.
However, there are differences between `uname(1)` (command-line utility)
and `uname(2)` (system call) outputs on Windows. These discrepancies
complicate testing on Windows platforms. For example:
- `uname(1)` output: MINGW64_NT-10.0-20348.3.4.10-87d57229.x86_64\
.2024-02-14.20:17.UTC.x86_64
- `uname(2)` output: Windows.10.0.20348
On Windows, uname(2) is not actually system-supplied but is instead
already faked up by Git itself. We could have overcome the test issue
on Windows by implementing a new `uname` subcommand in `test-tool`
using uname(2), but except uname(2), which would be tested against
itself, there would be nothing platform specific, so it's just simpler
to disable the tests on Windows.

Command `perl --version` says, e.g., “This is perl 5, version 26,
subversion 0 (v5.26.0)”, which older versions of Meson interpret as
version 26.
This will be fixed in Meson 1.7.0, but at the time of writing that isn’t
yet released.
If we run `perl -V:version` we get the unambiguous response
“version='5.26.0';”, but we need at least Meson 1.5.0 to be able to do that.
Note that Perl are seriously considering dropping the leading 5 entirely
in the near future (https://perl.github.io/PPCs/ppc0025-perl-version/),
but that shouldn’t affect us.

Commit 702d8c1f3b (Require Perl 5.26.0, 2024-10-23) dropped support
for Perl versions older than 5.26.0. The Meson build system, which
has been developed in parallel to that commit, hasn't been bumped
accordingly and thus still requires Perl 5.8.1 or newer.
Fix this by requiring Perl 5.26.0 or newer with Meson.

Lazy-loading missing files in a blobless clone on demand is costly
as it tends to be one-blob-at-a-time. "git backfill" is introduced
to help bulk-download necessary files beforehand.
