Currently it is technically possible to let a submodule's git
directory point right into the git dir of a sibling submodule.
Example: the git directories of two submodules with the names `hippo`
and `hippo/hooks` would be `.git/modules/hippo/` and
`.git/modules/hippo/hooks/`, respectively, but the latter is already
intended to house the former's hooks.
In most cases, this is just confusing, but there is also a (quite
contrived) attack vector where Git can be fooled into mistaking remote
content for file contents it wrote itself during a recursive clone.
Let's plug this bug.
To do so, we introduce the new function `validate_submodule_git_dir()`
which simply verifies that no git dir exists for any leading directories
of the submodule name (if there are any).
Note: this patch specifically continues to allow sibling modules names
of the form `core/lib`, `core/doc`, etc, as long as `core` is not a
submodule name.
This fixes CVE-2019-1387.

In addition to preventing `.git` from being tracked by Git, on Windows
we also have to prevent `git~1` from being tracked, as the default NTFS
short name (also known as the "8.3 filename") for the file name `.git`
is `git~1`, otherwise it would be possible for malicious repositories to
write directly into the `.git/` directory, e.g. a `post-checkout` hook
that would then be executed _during_ a recursive clone.
When we implemented appropriate protections in 2b4c6efc82 (read-cache:
optionally disallow NTFS .git variants, 2014-12-16), we had analyzed
carefully that the `.git` directory or file would be guaranteed to be
the first directory entry to be written. Otherwise it would be possible
e.g. for a file named `..git` to be assigned the short name `git~1` and
subsequently, the short name generated for `.git` would be `git~2`. Or
`git~3`. Or even `~9999999` (for a detailed explanation of the lengths
we have to go to protect `.gitmodules`, see the commit message of
e7cb0b4455 (is_ntfs_dotgit: match other .git files, 2018-05-11)).
However, by exploiting two issues (that will be addressed in a related
patch series close by), it is currently possible to clone a submodule
into a non-empty directory:
- On Windows, file names cannot end in a space or a period (for
historical reasons: the period separating the base name from the file
extension was not actually written to disk, and the base name/file
extension was space-padded to the full 8/3 characters, respectively).
Helpfully, when creating a directory under the name, say, `sub.`, that
trailing period is trimmed automatically and the actual name on disk
is `sub`.
This means that while Git thinks that the submodule names `sub` and
`sub.` are different, they both access `.git/modules/sub/`.
- While the backslash character is a valid file name character on Linux,
it is not so on Windows. As Git tries to be cross-platform, it
therefore allows backslash characters in the file names stored in tree
objects.
Which means that it is totally possible that a submodule `c` sits next
to a file `c\..git`, and on Windows, during recursive clone a file
called `..git` will be written into `c/`, of course _before_ the
submodule is cloned.
Note that the actual exploit is not quite as simple as having a
submodule `c` next to a file `c\..git`, as we have to make sure that the
directory `.git/modules/b` already exists when the submodule is checked
out, otherwise a different code path is taken in `module_clone()` that
does _not_ allow a non-empty submodule directory to exist already.
Even if we will address both issues nearby (the next commit will
disallow backslash characters in tree entries' file names on Windows,
and another patch will disallow creating directories/files with trailing
spaces or periods), it is a wise idea to defend in depth against this
sort of attack vector: when submodules are cloned recursively, we now
_require_ the directory to be empty, addressing CVE-2019-1349.
Note: the code path we patch is shared with the code path of `git
submodule update --init`, which must not expect, in general, that the
directory is empty. Hence we have to introduce the new option
`--force-init` and hand it all the way down from `git submodule` to the
actual `git submodule--helper` process that performs the initial clone.

This commit refactors the use of verify_signed_buffer() outside of
gpg-interface.c to use check_signature() instead. It also turns
verify_signed_buffer() into a file-local function since it's now only
invoked internally by check_signature().
There were previously two globally scoped functions used in different
parts of Git to perform GPG signature verification:
verify_signed_buffer() and check_signature(). Now only
check_signature() is used.
The verify_signed_buffer() function doesn't guard against duplicate
signatures as described by Michał Górny [1]. Instead it only ensures a
non-erroneous exit code from GPG and the presence of at least one
GOODSIG status field. This stands in contrast with check_signature()
that returns an error if more than one signature is encountered.
The lower degree of verification makes the use of verify_signed_buffer()
problematic if callers don't parse and validate the various parts of the
GPG status message themselves. And processing these messages seems like
a task that should be reserved to gpg-interface.c with the function
check_signature().
Furthermore, the use of verify_signed_buffer() makes it difficult to
introduce new functionality that relies on the content of the GPG status
lines.
Now all operations that does signature verification share a single entry
point to gpg-interface.c. This makes it easier to propagate changed or
additional functionality in GPG signature verification to all parts of
Git, without having odd edge-cases that don't perform the same degree of
verification.

When calling `git submodule status` while in a subdirectory, we are
incorrectly not detecting modified submodules and
thus reporting that all of the submodules are unchanged.
This is because the submodule helper is calling `diff-index` with the
submodule path assuming the path is relative to the current prefix
directory, however the submodule path used is actually relative to the root.
Always pass NULL as the `prefix` when running diff-files on the
submodule, to make sure the submodule's path is interpreted as relative
to the superproject's repository root.

The 'git sparse-checkout disable' subcommand returns a user to a
full working directory. The old process for doing this required
updating the sparse-checkout file with the "/*" pattern and then
updating the working directory with core.sparseCheckout enabled.
Finally, the sparse-checkout file could be removed and the config
setting disabled.
However, it is valuable to keep a user's sparse-checkout file
intact so they can re-enable the sparse-checkout they previously
used with 'git sparse-checkout init'. This is now possible with
the in-process mechanism for updating the working directory.

The sparse-checkout builtin used 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' to update the
skip-worktree bits in the index and to update the working directory.
This extra process is overly complex, and prone to failure. It also
requires that we write our changes to the sparse-checkout file before
trying to update the index.
Remove this extra process call by creating a direct call to
unpack_trees() in the same way 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' does. In
addition, provide an in-memory list of patterns so we can avoid
reading from the sparse-checkout file. This allows us to test a
proposed change to the file before writing to it.
An earlier version of this patch included a bug when the 'set' command
failed due to the "Sparse checkout leaves no entry on working directory"
error. It would not rollback the index.lock file, so the replay of the
old sparse-checkout specification would fail. A test in t1091 now
covers that scenario.

If a user provides folders A/ and A/B/ for inclusion in a cone-mode
sparse-checkout file, the parsing logic will notice that A/ appears
both as a "parent" type pattern and as a "recursive" type pattern.
This is unexpected and hence will complain via a warning and revert
to the old logic for checking sparse-checkout patterns.
Prevent this from happening accidentally by sanitizing the folders
for this type of inclusion in the 'git sparse-checkout' builtin.
This happens in two ways:
1. Do not include any parent patterns that also appear as recursive
patterns.
2. Do not include any recursive patterns deeper than other recursive
patterns.
In order to minimize duplicate code for scanning parents, create
hashmap_contains_parent() method. It takes a strbuf buffer to
avoid reallocating a buffer when calling in a tight loop.

The 'git sparse-checkout set' subcommand takes a list of patterns
as arguments and writes them to the sparse-checkout file. Then, it
updates the working directory using 'git read-tree -mu HEAD'.
The 'set' subcommand will replace the entire contents of the
sparse-checkout file. The write_patterns_and_update() method is
extracted from cmd_sparse_checkout() to make it easier to implement
'add' and/or 'remove' subcommands in the future.
If the core.sparseCheckout config setting is disabled, then enable
the config setting in the worktree config. If we set the config
this way and the sparse-checkout fails, then re-disable the config
setting.

When someone wants to clone a large repository, but plans to work
using a sparse-checkout file, they either need to do a full
checkout first and then reduce the patterns they included, or
clone with --no-checkout, set up their patterns, and then run
a checkout manually. This requires knowing a lot about the repo
shape and how sparse-checkout works.
Add a new '--sparse' option to 'git clone' that initializes the
sparse-checkout file to include the following patterns:
/*
!/*/
These patterns include every file in the root directory, but
no directories. This allows a repo to include files like a
README or a bootstrapping script to grow enlistments from that
point.
During the 'git sparse-checkout init' call, we must first look
to see if HEAD is valid, since 'git clone' does not have a valid
HEAD at the point where it initializes the sparse-checkout. The
following checkout within the clone command will create the HEAD
ref and update the working directory correctly.
