Doc update.

git-fast-import.txt: clarify that multiple merge commits are allowed

Codepaths to walk tree objects have been audited for integer
overflows and hardened.
* jk/tree-walk-overflow:
tree-walk: harden make_traverse_path() length computations
tree-walk: add a strbuf wrapper for make_traverse_path()
tree-walk: accept a raw length for traverse_path_len()
tree-walk: use size_t consistently
tree-walk: drop oid from traverse_info
setup_traverse_info(): stop copying oid
|

The grammar for commits used a '?' rather than a '*' on the `merge`
directive line, despite the fact that the code allows multiple `merge`
directives in order to support n-way merges. In fact, elsewhere in
git-fast-import.txt there is an explicit declaration that "an unlimited
number of `merge` commands per commit are permitted by fast-import".
Fix the grammar to match the intent and implementation.

Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran
"git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases
where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed
one of the repeated words.
There were many false positives by this grep command, including
deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that
that" which I left alone, of course.
I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated
words in old RelNotes.

"Can not" suggests one has the option to not do something, whereas
"cannot" more strongly suggests something is disallowed or impossible.
Noticed "can not", mistakenly used instead of "cannot" in git help
glossary, then ran git grep 'can not' and found many other instances.
Only files in the Documentation folder were modified.
'Can not' also occurs in some source code comments and some test
assertion messages, and there is an error message and translation "can
not move directory into itself" which I may fix and submit separately
from the documentation change.
Also noticed and fixed "is does" in git help fetch, but there are no
other occurrences of that typo according to git grep.

All but one of the callers of make_traverse_path() allocate a new heap
buffer to store the path. Let's give them an easy way to write to a
strbuf, which saves them from computing the length themselves (which is
especially tricky when they want to add to the path). It will also make
it easier for us to change the make_traverse_path() interface in a
future patch to improve its bounds-checking.

It turns out that being cautious to warn against upcoming default
change was an unpopular behaviour, and such a care can easily be
defeated by distro packagers to render it ineffective anyway.
Just flip the default, with only a mention in the release notes.

We assume that if setup_traverse_info() is passed a non-empty "base"
string, that string is pointing into a tree object and we can read the
object oid by skipping past the trailing NUL.
As it turns out, this is not true for either of the two calls, and we
may end up reading garbage bytes:
1. In git-merge-tree, our base string is either empty (in which case
we'd never run this code), or it comes from our traverse_path()
helper. The latter overallocates a buffer by the_hash_algo->rawsz
bytes, but then fills it with only make_traverse_path(), leaving
those extra bytes uninitialized (but part of a legitimate heap
buffer).
2. In unpack_trees(), we pass o->prefix, which is some arbitrary
string from the caller. In "git read-tree --prefix=foo", for
instance, it will point to the command-line parameter, and we'll
read 20 bytes past the end of the string.
Interestingly, tools like ASan do not detect (2) because the process
argv is part of a big pre-allocated buffer. So we're reading trash, but
it's trash that's probably part of the next argument, or the
environment.
You can convince it to fail by putting something like this at the
beginning of common-main.c's main() function:
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)
argv[i] = xstrdup_or_null(argv[i]);
}
That puts the arguments into their own heap buffers, so running:
make SANITIZE=address test
will find problems when "read-tree --prefix" is used (e.g., in t3030).
Doubly interesting, even with the hackery above, this does not fail
prior to ea82b2a085 (tree-walk: store object_id in a separate member,
2019-01-15). That commit switched setup_traverse_info() to actually
copying the hash, rather than simply pointing to it. That pointer was
always pointing to garbage memory, but that commit started actually
dereferencing the bytes, which is what triggers ASan.
That also implies that nobody actually cares about reading these oid
bytes anyway (or at least no path covered by our tests). And manual
inspection of the code backs that up (I'll follow this patch with some
cleanups that show definitively this is the case, but they're quite
invasive, so it's worth doing this fix on its own).
So let's drop the bogus hashcpy(), along with the confusing oversizing
in merge-tree.
