3fda14d86d config: drop git_config_get_int() wrapper
In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by
default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the
config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have
been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that
takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll
eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global
repository variable explicit at the callsite.

Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config_get_int()`. All
callsites are adjusted so that they use
`repo_config_get_int(the_repository, ...)` instead. While some callsites
might already have a repository available, this mechanical conversion is
the exact same as the current situation and thus cannot cause any
regression. Those sites should eventually be cleaned up in a later patch
series.

f29f1990b5 config: teach repo_config to allow repo to be NULL
The `repo` value can be NULL if a builtin command is run outside
any repository. The current implementation of `repo_config()` will
fail if `repo` is NULL.

If the `repo` is NULL the `repo_config()` can ignore the repository
configuration but it should read the other configuration sources like
the system-side configuration instead of failing.

Teach the `repo_config()` to allow `repo` to be NULL by calling the
`read_very_early_config()` which read config but only enumerate system
and global settings.

This will be useful in the following commits.

b92266b79c config: make dependency on repo in read_early_config() explicit
The `read_early_config()` function can be used to read configuration
where a repository has not yet been set up. As such, it is optional
whether or not `the_repository` has already been initialized. If it was
initialized we use its commondir and gitdir. If not, the function will
try to detect the Git directories by itself and, if found, also parse
their config files.

This means that we implicitly rely on `the_repository`. Make this
dependency explicit by passing a `struct repository`. This allows us to
again drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` define in "config.c".

a70a9bf6ee config: fix constness of out parameter for git_config_get_expiry()
The type of the out parameter of `git_config_get_expiry()` is a pointer
to a constant string, which creates the impression that ownership of the
returned data wasn't transferred to the caller. This isn't true though
and thus quite misleading.

Adapt the parameter to be of type `char **` and adjust callers
accordingly. While at it, refactor `get_shared_index_expire_date()` to
drop the static `shared_index_expire` variable. It is only used in that
function, and furthermore we would only hit the code where we parse the
expiry date a single time because we already use a static `prepared`
variable to track whether we did parse it.

036876a106 config: hide functions using the_repository by default
The config subsystem provides a bunch of legacy functions that read or
set configuration for `the_repository`. The use of those functions is
discouraged, and it is easy to miss the implicit dependency on
`the_repository` that calls to those functions may cause.

Move all config-related functions that use `the_repository` into a block
that gets only conditionally compiled depending on whether or not the
macro has been defined. This also removes all dependencies on that
variable in "config.c", allowing us to remove the definition of said
preprocessor macro.

5831f8ac41 config: introduce git_config_double()
Future commits will want to parse a double-precision floating point
value from configuration, but we have no way to parse such a value prior
to this patch.

The core of the routine is implemented in git_parse_double(). Unlike
git_parse_unsigned() and git_parse_signed(), however, the function
implemented here only works on type "double", and not related types like
"float", or "long double".

This is because "float" and "long double" use different functions to
convert from ASCII strings to floating point values (strtof() and
strtold(), respectively). Likewise, there is no pointer type that can
assign to any of these values (except for "void *"), so the only way to
define this trio of functions would be with a macro expansion that is
parameterized over the floating point type and conversion function.

That is all doable, but likely to be overkill given our current needs,
which is only to parse double-precision floats.

a78b462976 config: clarify memory ownership when preparing comment strings
The ownership of memory returned when preparing a comment string is
quite intricate: when the returned value is different than the passed
value, then the caller is responsible to free the memory. This is quite
subtle, and it's even easier to miss because the returned value is in
fact a `const char *`.

Adapt the function to always return either `NULL` or a newly allocated
string. The function is called at most once per git-config(1), so it's
not like this micro-optimization really matters. Thus, callers are now
always responsible for freeing the value.

31399a6b61 config: allow tweaking whitespace between value and comment
Extending the previous step, this allows the whitespace placed after
the value before the "# comment message" to be tweaked by tweaking
the preprocessing rule to:

 * If the given comment string begins with one or more whitespace
   characters followed by '#', it is passed intact.

 * If the given comment string begins with '#', a Space is
   prepended.

 * Otherwise, " # " (Space, '#', Space) is prefixed.

 * A string with LF in it cannot be used as a comment string.

Unlike the previous step, which unconditionally added a space after
the value before writing the "# comment string", because the above
preprocessing already gives a whitespace before the '#', the
resulting string is written immediately after copying the value.

And the sanity checking rule becomes

 * comment string after the above massaging that comes into
   git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently() must

   - begin with zero or more whitespace characters followed by '#'.
   - not have a LF in it.

I personally think this is over-engineered, but since I thought
things through anyway, here it is in the patch form.  The logic to
tweak end-user supplied comment string is encapsulated in a new
helper function, git_config_prepare_comment_string(), so if new
front-end callers would want to use the same massaging rules, it is
easily reused.

Unfortunately I do not think of a way to tweak the preprocessing
rules further to optionally allow having no blank after the value,
i.e. to produce

	[section]
		variable = value#comment

(which is a valid way to say section.variable=value, by the way)
without sacrificing the ergonomics for the more usual case, so this
time I really stop here.

42d5c03394 config: add --comment option to add a comment
Introduce the ability to append comments to modifications
made using git-config. Example usage:

  git config --comment "changed via script" \
    --add safe.directory /home/alice/repo.git

based on the proposed patch, the output produced is:

  [safe]
    directory = /home/alice/repo.git #changed via script

Users need to be able to distinguish between config entries made
using automation and entries made by a human. Automation can add
comments containing a URL pointing to explanations for the change
made, avoiding questions from users as to why their config file
was changed by a third party.

The implementation ensures that a # character is unconditionally
prepended to the provided comment string, and that the comment
text is appended as a suffix to the changed key-value-pair in the
same line of text. Multi-line comments (i.e. comments containing
linefeed) are rejected as errors, causing Git to exit without
making changes.

Comments are aimed at humans who inspect or change their Git
config using a pager or editor. Comments are not meant to be
read or displayed by git-config at a later time.

Factor out code that retrieves the global config file so that we can use
it in `gc.c` as well.

Use the old name from the previous commit since this function acts
functionally the same as `git_system_config` but for “global”.

b1bda75173 parse: separate out parsing functions from config.h
The files config.{h,c} contain functions that have to do with parsing,
but not config.

In order to further reduce all-in-one headers, separate out functions in
config.c that do not operate on config into its own file, parse.h,
and update the include directives in the .c files that need only such
functions accordingly.

6e8e7981eb config: pass source to config_parser_event_fn_t
..so that the callback can use a "struct config_source" parameter
instead of "config_reader.source". "struct config_source" is internal to
config.c, so we are adding a pointer to a struct defined in config.c
into a public function signature defined in config.h, but this is okay
because this function has only ever been (and probably ever will be)
used internally by config.c.

As a result, the_reader isn't used anywhere, so "struct config_reader"
is obsolete (it was only intended to be used with the_reader). Remove
them.

908857a9f8 config: add kvi.path, use it to evaluate includes
Include directives are evaluated using the path of the config file. To
reduce the dependence on "config_reader.source", add a new
"key_value_info.path" member and use that instead of
"config_source.path". This allows us to remove a "struct config_reader
*" field from "struct config_include_data", which will subsequently
allow us to remove "struct config_reader" entirely.

8868b1ebfb config: pass kvi to die_bad_number()
Plumb "struct key_value_info" through all code paths that end in
die_bad_number(), which lets us remove the helper functions that read
analogous values from "struct config_reader". As a result, nothing reads
config_reader.config_kvi any more, so remove that too.

In config.c, this requires changing the signature of
git_configset_get_value() to 'return' "kvi" in an out parameter so that
git_configset_get_<type>() can pass it to git_config_<type>(). Only
numeric types will use "kvi", so for non-numeric types (e.g.
git_configset_get_string()), pass NULL to indicate that the out
parameter isn't needed.

Outside of config.c, config callbacks now need to pass "ctx->kvi" to any
of the git_config_<type>() functions that parse a config string into a
number type. Included is a .cocci patch to make that refactor.

The only exceptional case is builtin/config.c, where git_config_<type>()
is called outside of a config callback (namely, on user-provided input),
so config source information has never been available. In this case,
die_bad_number() defaults to a generic, but perfectly descriptive
message. Let's provide a safe, non-NULL for "kvi" anyway, but make sure
not to change the message.

dc90208497 trace2: plumb config kvi
There is a code path starting from trace2_def_param_fl() that eventually
calls current_config_scope(), and thus it needs to have "kvi" plumbed
through it. Additional plumbing is also needed to get "kvi" to
trace2_def_param_fl(), which gets called by two code paths:

- Through tr2_cfg_cb(), which is a config callback, so it trivially
  receives "kvi" via the "struct config_context ctx" parameter.

- Through tr2_list_env_vars_fl(), which is a high level function that
  lists environment variables for tracing. This has been secretly
  behaving like git_config_from_parameters() (in that it parses config
  from environment variables/the CLI), but does not set config source
  information.

  Teach tr2_list_env_vars_fl() to be well-behaved by using
  kvi_from_param(), which is used elsewhere for CLI/environment
  variable-based config.

As a result, current_config_scope() has no more callers, so remove it.

26b669324b config.c: pass ctx with CLI config
Pass config_context when parsing CLI config. To provide the .kvi member,
refactor out kvi_from_param() from the logic that caches CLI config in
configsets. Now that config_context and config_context.kvi is always
present when config machinery calls config callbacks, plumb "kvi" so
that we can remove all calls of current_config_scope() except for
trace2/*.c (which will be handled in a later commit), and remove all
other current_config_*() (the functions themselves and their calls).
Note that this results in .kvi containing a different, more complete
set of information than the mocked up "struct config_source" in
git_config_from_parameters().

Plumbing "kvi" reveals a few places where we've been doing the wrong
thing:

* git_config_parse_parameter() hasn't been setting config source
  information, so plumb "kvi" there too.

* Several sites in builtin/config.c have been calling current_config_*()
  functions outside of config callbacks (indirectly, via the
  format_config() helper), which means they're reading state that isn't
  set correctly:

  * "git config --get-urlmatch --show-scope" iterates config to collect
    values, but then attempts to display the scope after config
    iteration, causing the "unknown" scope to be shown instead of the
    config file's scope. It's clear that this wasn't intended: we knew
    that "--get-urlmatch" couldn't show config source metadata, which is
    why "--show-origin" was marked incompatible with "--get-urlmatch"
    when it was introduced [1]. It was most likely a mistake that we
    allowed "--show-scope" to sneak through.

    Fix this by copying the "kvi" value in the collection phase so that
    it can be read back later. This means that we can now support "git
    config --get-urlmatch --show-origin", but that is left unchanged
    for now.

  * "git config --default" doesn't have config source metadata when
    displaying the default value, so "--show-scope" also results in
    "unknown", and "--show-origin" results in a BUG(). Fix this by
    treating the default value as if it came from the command line (e.g.
    like we do with "git -c" or "git config --file"), using
    kvi_from_param().

provide the .kvi member, refactor out the configset logic that caches
"struct config_source" and "enum config_scope" as a "struct

git_config_from_file_with_options().

We do not exercise ctx yet because the remaining current_config_*()
callers may be used with config_with_options(), which may read config
from parameters, but parameters don't pass ctx yet.

a4e7e317f8 config: add ctx arg to config_fn_t
Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold
additional information about the config iteration operation.
config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds
metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config
source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested
in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg,
but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future
without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other
ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into
config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the
incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a
config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a
different config value).

In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct
config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free
operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide
meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and
call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg
in any meaningful way.

Most of the changes are performed by
contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every
config_fn_t:

- Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx"
- Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed
- Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed

Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are
called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are
manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed,
but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t
that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of
"struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense.

The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t
outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of
"ctx" to pass. These cases are:

- trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl()

  This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2
  machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings
  using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb().

- builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main()

  This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg.
  This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since
  git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much
  more than just parsing.

Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct
key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the
"ctx" arg.

9b6b06c159 config: pass 'repo' directly to 'config_with_options()'
Add a 'struct repository' argument to 'config_with_options()' and remove the
'repo' field from 'struct git_config_source'.

A 'struct repository' instance was originally added to the config source in
e3e8bf046e9 (submodule-config: pass repo upon blob config read, 2021-08-16)
to improve how submodule blob config content was accessed. At the time, this
was the only use for a 'repository' instance, so it was naturally added only
where it was needed: to 'struct git_config_source'. However, in upcoming
patches, 'config_with_options()' will need the repository instance to access
extension information (regardless of whether a 'config_source' exists). To
make the 'struct repository' instance more easily accessible, move it into
the function's arguments.

Update all callers of 'config_with_options()' to pass the appropriate 'repo'
value:

* in 'builtin/config.c', use 'the_repository'
* in 'submodule--config.c', use the 'repo' arg in 'config_from_gitmodules()'
* in 'read_[very_]early_config()' & 'read_protected_config()', set 'repo' to
  NULL (repository instances aren't available there)
* in 'populate_remote_urls()', use the repo instance that has been added to
  the 'struct config_include_data'
* in 'repo_read_config()', use the given 'repo' arg

Finally, note that this patch eliminates the fallback to 'the_repository'
that previously existed for the 'config_source' repo instance if it was
NULL. The fallback is no longer necessary, as the 'repo' is set explicitly
in all cases where it is needed.

e2016508e7 config: report cached filenames in die_bad_number()
If, when parsing numbers from config, die_bad_number() is called, it
reports the filename and config source type if we were parsing a config
file, but not if we were iterating a config_set (it defaults to a less
specific error message). Most call sites don't parse config files
because config is typically read once and cached, so we only report
filename and config source type in "git config --type" (since "git
config" always parses config files).

This could have been fixed when we taught the current_config_*
functions to respect config_set values (0d44a2dacc (config: return
configset value for current_config_ functions, 2016-05-26), but it was
hard to spot then and we might have just missed it (I didn't find
mention of die_bad_number() in the original ML discussion [1].)

Fix this by refactoring the current_config_* functions into variants
that don't BUG() when we aren't reading config, and using the resulting
functions in die_bad_number(). "git config --get[-regexp] --type=int"
cannot use the non-refactored version because it parses the int value
_after_ parsing the config file, which would run into the BUG().

Since the refactored functions aren't public, they use "struct
config_reader".

9e2d884d0f config API: add "string" version of *_value_multi(), fix segfaults
Fix numerous and mostly long-standing segfaults in consumers of
the *_config_*value_multi() API. As discussed in the preceding commit
an empty key in the config syntax yields a "NULL" string, which these
users would give to strcmp() (or similar), resulting in segfaults.

As this change shows, most users users of the *_config_*value_multi()
API didn't really want such an an unsafe and low-level API, let's give
them something with the safety of git_config_get_string() instead.

This fix is similar to what the *_string() functions and others
acquired in[1] and [2]. Namely introducing and using a safer
"*_get_string_multi()" variant of the low-level "_*value_multi()"
function.

This fixes segfaults in code introduced in:

  - d811c8e17c6 (versionsort: support reorder prerelease suffixes, 2015-02-26)
  - c026557a373 (versioncmp: generalize version sort suffix reordering, 2016-12-08)
  - a086f921a72 (submodule: decouple url and submodule interest, 2017-03-17)
  - a6be5e6764a (log: add log.excludeDecoration config option, 2020-04-16)
  - 92156291ca8 (log: add default decoration filter, 2022-08-05)
  - 50a044f1e40 (gc: replace config subprocesses with API calls, 2022-09-27)

There are now two users ofthe low-level API:

- One in "builtin/for-each-repo.c", which we'll convert in a
  subsequent commit.

- The "t/helper/test-config.c" code added in [3].

As seen in the preceding commit we need to give the
"t/helper/test-config.c" caller these "NULL" entries.

We could also alter the underlying git_configset_get_value_multi()
function to be "string safe", but doing so would leave no room for
other variants of "*_get_value_multi()" that coerce to other types.

Such coercion can't be built on the string version, since as we've
established "NULL" is a true value in the boolean context, but if we
coerced it to "" for use in a list of strings it'll be subsequently
coerced to "false" as a boolean.

The callback pattern being used here will make it easy to introduce
e.g. a "multi" variant which coerces its values to "bool", "int",
"path" etc.

a428619309 config API: have *_multi() return an "int" and take a "dest"
Have the "git_configset_get_value_multi()" function and its siblings
return an "int" and populate a "**dest" parameter like every other
git_configset_get_*()" in the API.

As we'll take advantage of in subsequent commits, this fixes a blind
spot in the API where it wasn't possible to tell whether a list was
empty from whether a config key existed. For now we don't make use of
those new return values, but faithfully convert existing API users.

Most of this is straightforward, commentary on cases that stand out:

- To ensure that we'll properly use the return values of this function
  in the future we're using the "RESULT_MUST_BE_USED" macro introduced
  in [1].

  As git_die_config() now has to handle this return value let's have
  it BUG() if it can't find the config entry. As tested for in a
  preceding commit we can rely on getting the config list in
  git_die_config().

- The loops after getting the "list" value in "builtin/gc.c" could
  also make use of "unsorted_string_list_has_string()" instead of using
  that loop, but let's leave that for now.

- In "versioncmp.c" we now use the return value of the functions,
  instead of checking if the lists are still non-NULL.
