In d8193743e08 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro
was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then
subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae55
(setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12).
The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch
(cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not
terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan
is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.
Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop.
This trick was performed by this invocation:
sed -i 's/die("BUG: /BUG("/g' $(git grep -l 'die("BUG' \*.c)

This conversion was done without the #define trick used in the earlier

is easy to review, as it only has one caller and all lines but the first
two are converted.

Add a repository argument to allow sha1_file_name callers to be more
specific about which repository to handle. This is a small mechanical
change; it doesn't change the implementation to handle repositories
other than the_repository yet.

Our trace handler is called by curl with a curl_infotype
variable to interpret its data field. For most types we
print the data and then break out of the switch. But for
CURLINFO_TEXT, we print data and then fall through to the
"default" case, which does the exact same thing (nothing!)
that breaking out of the switch would.
This is probably a leftover from an early iteration of the
patch where the code after the switch _did_ do something
interesting that was unique to the non-text case arms.
But in its current form, this fallthrough is merely
confusing (and causes gcc's -Wimplicit-fallthrough to
complain).
Let's make CURLINFO_TEXT like the other case arms, and push
the default arm to the end where it's more obviously a
catch-all.

Back when the modern http_options() codepath was created to parse

functionality", 2005-11-18), and then later was corrected for
interation between the multiple configuration files in 7059cd99
("http_init(): Fix config file parsing", 2009-03-09), we parsed
configuration variables like http.sslkey, http.sslcert as plain
vanilla strings, because git_config_pathname() that understands
"~[username]/" prefix did not exist. Later, we converted some of
them (namely, http.sslCAPath and http.sslCAInfo) to use the
function, and added variables like http.cookeyFile http.pinnedpubkey
to use the function from the beginning. Because of that, these
variables all understand "~[username]/" prefix.
Make the remaining two variables, http.sslcert and http.sslkey, also
aware of the convention, as they are both clearly pathnames to
files.

Earlier, the whole http.proxy option string was passed to curl without
any preprocessing so curl could complain about the invalid proxy
configuration.
After the commit 372370f167 ("http: use credential API to handle proxy
authentication", 2016-01-26), if the user specified an invalid HTTP
proxy option in the configuration, then the option parsing silently
fails and NULL will be passed to curl as a proxy. This forces curl to
fall back to detecting the proxy configuration from the environment,
causing the http.proxy option ignoring.
Fix this issue by checking the proxy option parsing result. If parsing
failed then print an error message and die. Such behaviour allows the
user to quickly figure the proxy misconfiguration and correct it.

Curl distinguishes between an empty proxy address and a NULL proxy
address. In the first case it completely disables proxy usage, but if
the proxy address option is NULL then curl attempts to determine the
proxy address from the http_proxy environment variable.
According to the documentation, if the http.proxy option is set to an
empty string, git should bypass proxy and connect to the server
directly:
export http_proxy=http://network-proxy/
cd ~/foobar-project
git config remote.origin.proxy ""
git fetch
Previously, proxy host was configured by one line:
curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_PROXY, curl_http_proxy);
Commit 372370f167 ("http: use credential API to handle proxy
authentication", 2016-01-26) parses the proxy option, then extracts the
proxy host address and updates the curl configuration, making the
previous call a noop:
credential_from_url(&proxy_auth, curl_http_proxy);
curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_PROXY, proxy_auth.host);
But if the proxy option is empty then the proxy host field becomes NULL.
This forces curl to fall back to detecting the proxy configuration from
the environment, causing the http.proxy option to not work anymore.
Fix this issue by explicitly handling http.proxy being set the empty
string. This also makes the code a bit more clear and should help us
avoid such regressions in the future.

this is the case (and to make auditing for actual truncation

These could be candidates for turning into heap buffers, but
they fall into a few broad categories that make it not worth
doing:
- formatting single numbers is simple enough that we can
see the result should fit
- the size of a sha1 is likewise well-known, and I didn't
want to cause unnecessary conflicts with the ongoing
process to convert these constants to GIT_MAX_HEXSZ

http.c supports HTTP redirects of the form
http://foo/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
-> http://anything
-> http://bar/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
(that is to say, as long as the Git part of the path and the query
string is preserved in the final redirect destination, the intermediate
steps can have any URL). However, if one of the intermediate steps
results in an HTTP exception, a confusing "unable to update url base
from redirection" message is printed instead of a Curl error message
with the HTTP exception code.
This was introduced by 2 commits. Commit c93c92f ("http: update base
URLs when we see redirects", 2013-09-28) introduced a best-effort
optimization that required checking if only the "base" part of the URL
differed between the initial request and the final redirect destination,
but it performed the check before any HTTP status checking was done. If
something went wrong, the normal code path was still followed, so this
did not cause any confusing error messages until commit 6628eb4 ("http:
always update the base URL for redirects", 2016-12-06), which taught
http to die if the non-"base" part of the URL differed.
Therefore, teach http to check the HTTP status before attempting to
check if only the "base" part of the URL differed. This commit teaches
http_request_reauth to return early without updating options->base_url
upon an error; the only invoker of this function that passes a non-NULL
"options" is remote-curl.c (through "http_get_strbuf"), which only uses
options->base_url for an informational message in the situations that
this commit cares about (that is, when the return value is not HTTP_OK).
The included test checks that the redirect scheme at the beginning of
this commit message works, and that returning a 502 in the middle of the
redirect scheme produces the correct result. Note that this is different
from the test in commit 6628eb4 ("http: always update the base URL for
redirects", 2016-12-06) in that this commit tests that a Git-shaped URL
(http://.../info/refs?service=git-upload-pack) works, whereas commit
6628eb4 tests that a non-Git-shaped URL
(http://.../info/refs/foo?service=git-upload-pack) does not work (even
though Git is processing that URL) and is an error that is fatal, not
silently swallowed.

This variable needs to be specified to make some types of
non-basic authentication work, but ideally this would just
work out of the box for everyone.
However, simply setting it to "1" by default introduces an
extra round-trip for cases where it _isn't_ useful. We end
up sending a bogus empty credential that the server rejects.
Instead, let's introduce an automatic mode, that works like
this:
1. We won't try to send the bogus credential on the first
request. We'll wait to get an HTTP 401, as usual.
2. After seeing an HTTP 401, the empty-auth hack will kick
in only when we know there is an auth method available
that might make use of it (i.e., something besides
"Basic" or "Digest").
That should make it work out of the box, without incurring
any extra round-trips for people hitting Basic-only servers.
This _does_ incur an extra round-trip if you really want to
use "Basic" but your server advertises other methods (the
emptyauth hack will kick in but fail, and then Git will
actually ask for a password).
The auto mode may incur an extra round-trip over setting
http.emptyauth=true, because part of the emptyauth hack is
