It was reported that git-verify-pack(1) has started to crash with Git
v2.46.0 when run outside of a repository. This is another fallout from
c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash,
2024-05-07), where we have stopped setting the default hash algorithm
for `the_repository`. Consequently, code that relies on `the_hash_algo`
will now crash when it hasn't explicitly been initialized, which may be
the case when running outside of a Git repository.
The crash is not in git-verify-pack(1) but instead in git-index-pack(1),
which gets called by the former. Ideally, both of these programs should
be able to identify the hash algorithm used by the packfile and index
without having to rely on external information. But unfortunately, the
format for neither of them is completely self-describing, so it is not
possible to derive that information. This is a design issue that we
should address by introducing a new packfile version that encodes its
object hash.
For now though the more important fix is to not make either of these
programs crash anymore, which we do by falling back to SHA1 when the
object hash is unconfigured. This pessimizes reading packfiles which
use a different hash than SHA1, but restores previous behaviour.

This error comes from `git checkout --no-overlay $i_tree -- :/`, which
we execute to reset the working tree to the state in our index. As the
tree generated from the index is empty in our case, ':/' does not match
any files and thus causes git-checkout(1) to error out.
Fix the issue by skipping the checkout when the index tree is empty. As
explained in the in-code comment, this should be the correct thing to do
as there is nothing that we'd have to reset in the first place.

The `git bundle unbundle` subcommand requires a repository to unbundle
the contents into. As thus, the subcommand checks whether we have a
startup repository in the first place, and if not it dies.
This check happens after we have already opened the bundle though. This
causes a segfault when running outside of a repository starting with
c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash,
2024-05-07) because we have no hash function set up, but we do try to
parse refs advertised by the bundle's header.
The next commit will fix that underlying issue by defaulting to the SHA1
object format for bundles, which will also fix the described segfault here.
But as we know that we will die anyway, we can do better than that and
avoid some vain work by moving the check for a repository before we try
to open the bundle.

When using "git-diff-tree" to get the tree diff for merge commits with
the diff format set to `remerge`, a bug is triggered as shown below:
$ git diff-tree -r --remerge-diff 363337e6eb
363337e6eb812d0c0d785ed4261544f35559ff8b
BUG: log-tree.c:1006: did a remerge diff without remerge_objdir?!?
This bug is reported by `log-tree.c:do_remerge_diff`, where a bug check
added in commit 7b90ab467a (log: clean unneeded objects during log
--remerge-diff, 2022-02-02) detects the absence of `remerge_objdir` when
attempting to clean up temporary objects generated during the remerge
process.
After some further digging, I find that the remerge-related diff options
were introduced in db757e8b8d (show, log: provide a --remerge-diff
capability, 2022-02-02), which also affect the setup of `rev_info` for
"git-diff-tree", but were not accounted for in the original
implementation (inferred from the commit message).
Elijah Newren, the author of the remerge diff feature, notes that other
callers of `log-tree.c:log_tree_commit` (the only caller of
`log-tree.c:do_remerge_diff`) also exist, but:
`builtin/am.c`: manually sets all flags; remerge_diff is not among them
`sequencer.c`: manually sets all flags; remerge_diff is not among them
so `builtin/diff-tree.c` really is the only caller that was overlooked
when remerge-diff functionality was added.
This commit resolves the crash by adding `remerge_objdir` setup logic to
`builtin/diff-tree.c`, mirroring `builtin/log.c:cmd_log_walk_no_free`.
It also includes the necessary cleanup for `remerge_objdir`.

To detect conversion failure after calls to functions like `strtod`, one
can check `errno == ERANGE`. These functions are not guaranteed to set
`errno` to `0` on successful conversion, however. Manual manipulation of
`errno` can likely be avoided by checking that the output pointer
differs from the input pointer, but that's not how other locations, such
as parse.c:139, handle this issue; they set errno to 0 prior to
executing the function.
For every place I could find a strtoX function with an ERANGE check
following it, set `errno = 0;` prior to executing the conversion
function.

In c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash,
2024-05-07), we have stopped setting the default hash algorithm for
`the_repository`. Consequently, code that relies on `the_hash_algo` will
now crash when it hasn't explicitly been initialized, which may be the
case when running outside of a Git repository.
It was reported that git-ls-remote(1) may crash in such a way when using
a remote helper that advertises refspecs. This is because the refspec
announced by the helper will get parsed during capability negotiation.
At that point we haven't yet figured out what object format the remote
uses though, so when run outside of a repository then we will fail.
The course of action is somewhat dubious in the first place. Ideally, we
should only parse object IDs once we have asked the remote helper for
the object format. And if the helper didn't announce the "object-format"
capability, then we should always assume SHA256. But instead, we used to
take either SHA1 if there was no repository, or we used the hash of the
local repository, which is wrong.
Arguably though, crashing hard may not be in the best interest of our
users, either. So while the old behaviour was buggy, let's restore it
for now as a short-term fix. We should eventually revisit, potentially
by deferring the point in time when we parse the refspec until after we
have figured out the remote's object hash.

The get_one_patchid() function unconditionally takes a line that
matches the patch header (namely, a line that begins with a full
object name, possibly prefixed by "commit" or "From" plus a space)
as the beginning of a patch. Even when it is *not* looking for one
(namely, when the previous call found the patch header and returned,
and then we are called again to skip the log message and process the
patch whose header was found by the previous invocation).
As a consequence, a line in the commit log message that begins with
one of these patterns can be mistaken to start another patch, with
current message entirely skipped (because we haven't even reached
the patch at all).
Allow the caller to tell us if it called us already and saw the
patch header (in which case we shouldn't be looking for another one,
until we see the "diff" part of the patch; instead we simply should
be skipping these lines as part of the commit log message), and skip
the header processing logic when that is the case. In the helper
function, it also needs to flip this "are we looking for a header?"
bit, once it finished skipping the commit log message and started
processing the patches, as the patch header of the _next_ message is
the only clue in the input that the current patch is done.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The get_one_patchid() function reads input lines until it finds a
patch header (the line that begins a patch), whose beginning is one
of:
(1) an "<object name>", which is what "git diff-tree --stdin" shows;
(2) "commit <object name>", which is what "git log" shows; or
(3) "From <object name>", which is what "git log --format=email" shows.
When it finds such a line, it returns to the caller, reporting the
<object name> it found, and the size of the "patch" it processed.
The caller then calls the function again, which then ignores the
commit log message, and then processes the lines in the patch part
until it hits another "beginning of a patch".
The above logic was fairly easy to see until 2bb73ae8 (patch-id: use
starts_with() and skip_prefix(), 2016-05-28) reorganized the code,
which made another logic that has nothing to do with the "where does
the next patch begin?" logic, which came from 2485eab5
(git-patch-id: do not trip over "no newline" markers, 2011-02-17)
that ignores the "\ No newline at the end", rolled into the same
single if() statement.
Let's split it out. The "\ No newline at the end" marker is part of
the patch, should not appear before we start reading the patch part,
and does not belong to the detection of patch header.

With "git notes add -C $blob", the given blob contents are to be made
into a note without involving an editor. But when "--allow-empty" is

non-interactive callers[1].
This behaviour started with 90bc19b3ae (notes.c: introduce
'--separator=<paragraph-break>' option, 2023-05-27), which changed
editor invocation logic to check for a zero length note_data buffer.
Restore the original behaviour of "git note" that takes the contents
given via the "-m", "-C", "-F" options without invoking an editor, by
checking for any prior parameter callbacks, indicated by a non-zero
note_data.msg_nr. Remove the now-unneeded note_data.given flag.

On Windows, Unix-like paths like `/bin/sh` make very little sense. In
the best case, they simply don't work, in the worst case they are
misinterpreted as absolute paths that are relative to the drive
associated with the current directory.
To that end, Git does not actually use the path `/bin/sh` that is
recorded e.g. when `run_command()` is called with a Unix shell
command-line. Instead, as of 776297548e (Do not use SHELL_PATH from
build system in prepare_shell_cmd on Windows, 2012-04-17), it
re-interprets `/bin/sh` as "look up `sh` on the `PATH` and use the
result instead".
This is the logic users expect to be followed when running `git var
GIT_SHELL_PATH`.
However, when 1e65721227 (var: add support for listing the shell,
2023-06-27) introduced support for `git var GIT_SHELL_PATH`, Windows was
not special-cased as above, which is why it outputs `/bin/sh` even
though that disagrees with what Git actually uses.
Let's fix this by using the exact same logic as `prepare_shell_cmd()`,
adjusting the Windows-specific `git var GIT_SHELL_PATH` test case to
verify that it actually finds a working executable.

When an end-user runs "git push" with an empty string for the remote
repository name, e.g.
$ git push '' main
"git push" fails with a BUG(). Even though this is a nonsense request
that we want to fail, we shouldn't hit a BUG(). Instead we want to give
a sensible error message, e.g., 'bad repository'".
This is because since 9badf97c42 (remote: allow resetting url list,
2024-06-14), we reset the remote URL if the provided URL is empty. When
a user of 'remotes_remote_get' tries to fetch a remote with an empty
repo name, the function initializes the remote via 'make_remote'. But
the remote is still not a valid remote, since the URL is empty, so it
tries to add the URL alias using 'add_url_alias'. This in-turn will call
'add_url', but since the URL is empty we call 'strvec_clear' on the
`remote->url`. Back in 'remotes_remote_get', we again check if the
remote is valid, which fails, so we return 'NULL' for the 'struct
remote *' value.
The 'builtin/push.c' code, calls 'set_refspecs' before validating the
remote. This worked with empty repo names earlier since we would get a
remote, albeit with an empty URL. With the new changes, we get a 'NULL'
remote value, this causes the check for remote to fail and raises the
BUG in 'set_refspecs'.
Do a simple fix by doing remote validation first. Also add a test to
validate the bug fix. With this, we can also now directly pass remote to
'set_refspecs' instead of it trying to lazily obtain it.

"git checkout" ran with no branch and no pathspec behaves like
switching the branch to the current branch (in other words, a
no-op, except that it gives a side-effect "here are the modified
paths" report). But unlike "git checkout HEAD" or "git checkout
main" (when you are on the 'main' branch), the user is much less
conscious that they are "switching" to the current branch.
This twists end-user expectation in a strange way. There are
options (like "--ours") that make sense only when we are checking
out paths out of either the tree-ish or out of the index. So the
error message the command below gives
$ git checkout --ours
fatal: '--ours/theirs' cannot be used with switching branches
is technically correct, but because the end-user may not even be
aware of the fact that the command they are issuing is about no-op
branch switching [*], they may find the error confusing.
Let's refactor the code to make it easier to special case the "no-op
branch switching" situation, and then customize the exact error
message for "--ours/--theirs". Since it is more likely that the
end-user forgot to give pathspec that is required by the option,
let's make it say
$ git checkout --ours
fatal: '--ours/theirs' needs the paths to check out
instead.
Among the other options that are incompatible with branch switching,
there may be some that benefit by having messages tweaked when a
no-op branch switching is done, but I'll leave them as #leftoverbits
material.
[Footnote]
* Yes, the end-users are irrational. When they did not give
"--ours", they take it granted that "git checkout" gives a short
status, e.g..
$ git checkout
M builtin/checkout.c
M t/t7201-co.sh

When describe is run with 'dirty' flag, we refresh the index

This causes `git describe --broken --dirty` to false
positively report the worktree being dirty if a file has
different stat info than what is recorded in the index.
Running `git update-index -q --refresh` to refresh the index
before running diff-index fixes the problem.
Also add tests to deliberately update stat info of a
file before running describe to verify it behaves correctly.

"git am" has a safety feature to prevent it from starting a new
session when there already is a session going. It reliably
triggers when a mbox is given on the command line, but it has to
rely on the tty-ness of the standard input. Add an explicit way to
opt out of this safety with a command line option.
