0c5dc7431a t6018: flesh out empty input/output rev-list tests
In 751a2ac6e (rev-list --exclude: tests, 2013-11-01), we
added a few tests for handling "empty" inputs with rev-list
(i.e., where the user gave us some pattern but it turned out
not to queue any objects for traversal), all of which were
marked as failing.

In preparation for working on this area of the code, let's
give each test a more descriptive name. Let's also include
one more case which we should cover: feeding a --glob
pattern that doesn't match anything.

We can also drop the explanatory comment; we'll be
converting these to expect_success in the next few patches,
so the discussion isn't necessary.

aeeb2d4968 connect: reject paths that look like command line options
If we get a repo path like "-repo.git", we may try to invoke
"git-upload-pack -repo.git". This is going to fail, since
upload-pack will interpret it as a set of bogus options. But
let's reject this before we even run the sub-program, since
we would not want to allow any mischief with repo names that
actually are real command-line options.

You can still ask for such a path via git-daemon, but there's no
security problem there, because git-daemon enters the repo itself
and then passes "."  on the command line.

3be4cf09cd connect: reject dashed arguments for proxy commands
If you have a GIT_PROXY_COMMAND configured, we will run it
with the host/port on the command-line. If a URL contains a
mischievous host like "--foo", we don't know how the proxy
command may handle it. It's likely to break, but it may also
do something dangerous and unwanted (technically it could
even do something useful, but that seems unlikely).

We should err on the side of caution and reject this before
we even run the command.

The hostname check matches the one we do in a similar
circumstance for ssh. The port check is not present for ssh,
but there it's not necessary because the syntax is "-p
<port>", and there's no ambiguity on the parsing side.

It's not clear whether you can actually get a negative port
to the proxy here or not. Doing:

  git fetch git://remote:-1234/repo.git

keeps the "-1234" as part of the hostname, with the default
port of 9418. But it's a good idea to keep this check close
to the point of running the command to make it clear that
there's no way to circumvent it (and at worst it serves as a
belt-and-suspenders check).

30c586ff15 t/lib-proto-disable: restore protocol.allow after config tests
The tests for protocol.allow actually set that variable in
the on-disk config, run a series of tests, and then never
clean up after themselves. This means that whatever tests we
run after have protocol.allow=never, which may influence
their results.

In most cases we either exit after running these tests, or
do another round of test_proto(). In the latter case, this happens to
work because:

  1. Tests of the GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL environment variable
     override the config.

  2. Tests of the specific config "protocol.foo.allow"
     override the protocol.allow config.

  3. The next round of protocol.allow tests start off by
     setting the config to a known value.

However, it's a land-mine waiting to trap somebody adding
new tests to one of the t581x test scripts. Let's make sure
we clean up after ourselves.

fa64a2fdbe sub-process: refactor handshake to common function
Refactor, into a common function, the version and capability negotiation
done when invoking a long-running process as a clean or smudge filter.
This will be useful for other Git code that needs to interact similarly

As you can see in the change to t0021, this commit changes the error
message reported when the long-running process does not introduce itself
with the expected "server"-terminated line. Originally, the error
message reports that the filter "does not support filter protocol
version 2", differentiating between the old single-file filter protocol
and the new multi-file filter protocol - I have updated it to something
more generic and useful.

create files if tests are run multiple times.

c7be7201a7 submodule--helper: teach push-check to handle HEAD
In 06bf4ad1d (push: propagate remote and refspec with
--recurse-submodules) push was taught how to propagate a refspec down to
submodules when the '--recurse-submodules' flag is given.  The only refspecs
that are allowed to be propagated are ones which name a ref which exists
in both the superproject and the submodule, with the caveat that 'HEAD'
was disallowed.

This patch teaches push-check (the submodule helper which determines if
a refspec can be propagated to a submodule) to permit propagating 'HEAD'
if and only if the superproject and the submodule both have the same
named branch checked out and the submodule is not in a detached head
state.

11b087adfd ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors
When color placeholders like %(color:red) are used in a
ref-filter format, we unconditionally output the colors,
even if the user has asked us for no colors. This usually
isn't a problem when the user is constructing a --format on
the command line, but it means we may do the wrong thing
when the format is fed from a script or alias. For example:

   $ git config alias.b 'branch --format=%(color:green)%(refname)'
   $ git b --no-color

should probably omit the green color. Likewise, running:

   $ git b >branches

should probably also omit the color, just as we would for
all baked-in coloring (and as we recently started to do for
user-specified colors in --pretty formats).

This commit makes both of those cases work by teaching
the ref-filter code to consult want_color() before
outputting any color. The color flag in ref_format defaults
to "-1", which means we'll consult color.ui, which in turn
defaults to the usual isatty() check on stdout. However,
callers like git-branch which support their own color config
(and command-line options) can override that.

The new tests independently cover all three of the callers
of ref-filter (for-each-ref, tag, and branch). Even though
these seem redundant, it confirms that we've correctly
plumbed through all of the necessary config to make colors
work by default.

18fb7ffc3d pretty: respect color settings for %C placeholders
The color placeholders have traditionally been
unconditional, showing colors even when git is not otherwise
configured to do so. This was not so bad for their original
use, which was on the command-line (and the user could
decide at that moment whether to add colors or not). But
these days we have configured formats via pretty.*, and
those should operate correctly in multiple contexts.

In 3082517 (log --format: teach %C(auto,black) to respect
color config, 2012-12-17), we gave an extended placeholder
that could be used to accomplish this. But it's rather
clunky to use, because you have to specify it individually
for each color (and their matching resets) in the format.
We shied away from just switching the default to auto,
because it is technically breaking backwards compatibility.

However, there's not really a use case for unconditional
colors. The most plausible reason you would want them is to
redirect "git log" output to a file. But there, the right
answer is --color=always, as it does the right thing both
with custom user-format colors and git-generated colors.

So let's switch to the more useful default. In the
off-chance that somebody really does find a use for
unconditional colors without wanting to enable the rest of
git's colors, we provide a new %C(always,...) to enable the
old behavior. And we can remind them of --color=always in
the documentation.

d75dfb1089 rev-list: pass diffopt->use_colors through to pretty-print
When rev-list pretty-prints a commit, it creates a new
pretty_print_context and copies items from the rev_info
struct. We don't currently copy the "use_color" field,
though. Nobody seems to have noticed because the only part
of pretty.c that cares is the %C(auto,...) placeholder, and
presumably not many people use that with the rev-list
plumbing (as opposed to with git-log).

It will become more noticeable in a future patch, though,
when we start treating all user-format colors as auto-colors
(in which case it would become impossible to format colors
with rev-list, even with --color=always).

097b681baa t: use test_decode_color rather than literal ANSI codes
When we put literal ANSI terminal codes into our test
scripts, it makes diffs on those scripts hard to read (the
colors may be indistinguishable from diff coloring, or in
the case of a reset, may not be visible at all).

Some scripts get around this by including human-readable
names and converting to literal codes with a git-config
hack. This makes the actual code diffs look OK, but test_cmp
output suffers from the same problem.

Let's use test_decode_color instead, which turns the codes
into obvious text tags.

c625bf0ee8 git-p4: git-p4 tests with p4 triggers
Some p4 triggers in the server side generate some warnings when
executed. Unfortunately those messages are mixed with the output of
p4 commands. A few git-p4 commands don't expect extra messages or output
lines and may fail with verbose triggers.
New tests added are known to be broken.

55bdfa022f Merge branch 'kn/ref-filter-branch-list' into maint
The rewrite of "git branch --list" using for-each-ref's internals
that happened in v2.13 regressed its handling of color.branch.local;
this has been fixed.

* kn/ref-filter-branch-list:
  ref-filter.c: drop return from void function
  branch: set remote color in ref-filter branch immediately
  branch: use BRANCH_COLOR_LOCAL in ref-filter format
  branch: only perform HEAD check for local branches

9d21a968b2 Merge branch 'jk/reflog-walk-maint' into maint
After "git branch --move" of the currently checked out branch, the
code to walk the reflog of HEAD via "log -g" and friends
incorrectly stopped at the reflog entry that records the renaming
of the branch.

* jk/reflog-walk-maint:
  reflog-walk: include all fields when freeing complete_reflogs
  reflog-walk: don't free reflogs added to cache
  reflog-walk: duplicate strings in complete_reflogs list
  reflog-walk: skip over double-null oid due to HEAD rename

c45af94dbc gc: run pre-detach operations under lock
We normally try to avoid having two auto-gc operations run
at the same time, because it wastes resources. This was done
long ago in 64a99eb47 (gc: reject if another gc is running,
unless --force is given, 2013-08-08).

When we do a detached auto-gc, we run the ref-related
commands _before_ detaching, to avoid confusing lock
contention. This was done by 62aad1849 (gc --auto: do not
lock refs in the background, 2014-05-25).

These two features do not interact well. The pre-detach
operations are run before we check the gc.pid lock, meaning
that on a busy repository we may run many of them
concurrently. Ideally we'd take the lock before spawning any
operations, and hold it for the duration of the program.

This is tricky, though, with the way the pid-file interacts
with the daemonize() process.  Other processes will check
that the pid recorded in the pid-file still exists. But
detaching causes us to fork and continue running under a
new pid. So if we take the lock before detaching, the
pid-file will have a bogus pid in it. We'd have to go back
and update it with the new pid after detaching. We'd also
have to play some tricks with the tempfile subsystem to
tweak the "owner" field, so that the parent process does not
clean it up on exit, but the child process does.

Instead, we can do something a bit simpler: take the lock
only for the duration of the pre-detach work, then detach,
then take it again for the post-detach work. Technically,
this means that the post-detach lock could lose to another
process doing pre-detach work. But in the long run this
works out.

That second process would then follow-up by doing
post-detach work. Unless it was in turn blocked by a third
process doing pre-detach work, and so on. This could in
theory go on indefinitely, as the pre-detach work does not
repack, and so need_to_gc() will continue to trigger.  But
in each round we are racing between the pre- and post-detach
locks. Eventually, one of the post-detach locks will win the
race and complete the full gc. So in the worst case, we may
racily repeat the pre-detach work, but we would never do so
simultaneously (it would happen via a sequence of serialized
race-wins).
