A little-known feature of NTFS is that it offers to store metadata in
so-called "Alternate Data Streams" (inspired by Apple's "resource
forks") that are copied together with the file they are associated with.
These Alternate Data Streams can be accessed via `<file name>:<stream
name>:<stream type>`.

Directories, too, have Alternate Data Streams, and they even have a
default stream type `$INDEX_ALLOCATION`. Which means that `abc/` and
`abc::$INDEX_ALLOCATION/` are actually equivalent.

This is of course another attack vector on the Git directory that we
definitely want to prevent.

On Windows, we already do this incidentally, by disallowing colons in
file/directory names.

While it looks as if files'/directories' Alternate Data Streams are not
accessible in the Windows Subsystem for Linux, and neither via
CIFS/SMB-mounted network shares in Linux, it _is_ possible to access
them on SMB-mounted network shares on macOS.

Therefore, let's go the extra mile and prevent this particular attack
_everywhere_. To keep things simple, let's just disallow *any* Alternate
Data Stream of `.git`.

This is libgit2's variant of CVE-2019-1352.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is getting increasingly popular,
in particular because it makes it _so_ easy to run Linux software on
Windows' files, via the auto-mounted Windows drives (`C:\` is mapped to
`/mnt/c/`, no need to set that up manually).

Unfortunately, files/directories on the Windows drives can be accessed
via their _short names_, if that feature is enabled (which it is on the
`C:` drive by default).

Which means that we have to safeguard even our Linux users against the
short name attacks.

Further, while the default options of CIFS/SMB-mounts seem to disallow
accessing files on network shares via their short names on Linux/macOS,
it _is_ possible to do so with the right options.

So let's just safe-guard against short name attacks _everywhere_.

When we expect a checkout operation to fail, but it succeeds, we
actually do not want to see the error messages that were generated in
the meantime for errors that were handled gracefully by the code (e.g.
when an object could not be found in a pack: in this case, the next
backend would have been given a chance to look up the object, and
probably would have found it because the checkout succeeded, after all).

Which means that in the specific case of `cl_git_fail()`, we actually
want to clear the global error state _after_ evaluating the command: we
know that any still-available error would be bogus, seeing as the
command succeeded (unexpectedly).

The function `commit_quick_parse` provides a way to quickly parse
parts of a commit without storing or verifying most of its
metadata. The first thing it does is calculating the number of
parents by skipping "parent " lines until it finds the first
non-parent line. Afterwards, this parent count is passed to
`alloc_parents`, which will allocate an array to store all the
parent.

To calculate the amount of storage required for the parents
array, `alloc_parents` simply multiplicates the number of parents
with the respective elements's size. This already screams "buffer
overflow", and in fact this problem is getting worse by the
result being cast to an `uint32_t`.

In fact, triggering this is possible: git-hash-object(1) will
happily write a commit with multiple millions of parents for you.
I've stopped at 67,108,864 parents as git-hash-object(1)
unfortunately soaks up the complete object without streaming
anything to disk and thus will cause an OOM situation at a later
point. The point here is: this commit was about 4.1GB of size but
compressed down to 24MB and thus easy to distribute.

The above doesn't yet trigger the buffer overflow, thus. As the
array's elements are all pointers which are 8 bytes on 64 bit, we
need a total of 536,870,912 parents to trigger the overflow to
`0`. The effect is that we're now underallocating the array
and do an out-of-bound writes. As the buffer is kindly provided
by the adversary, this may easily result in code execution.

Extrapolating from the test file with 67m commits to the one with
536m commits results in a factor of 8. Thus the uncompressed
contents would be about 32GB in size and the compressed ones
192MB. While still easily distributable via the network, only
servers will have that amount of RAM and not cause an
out-of-memory condition previous to triggering the overflow. This
at least makes this attack not an easy vector for client-side use
of libgit2.

When the VirtualStore feature is in effect, it is safe to let random
users write into C:\ProgramData because other users won't see those
files. This seemed to be the case when we introduced support for
C:\ProgramData\Git\config.

However, when that feature is not in effect (which seems to be the case
in newer Windows 10 versions), we'd rather not use those files unless
they come from a trusted source, such as an administrator.

This change imitates the strategy chosen by PowerShell's native OpenSSH
port to Windows regarding host key files: if a system file is owned
neither by an administrator, a system account, or the current user, it
is ignored.

When linking against bundled libraries, we include their header
directories by using "-isystem". The reason for that is that we
want to handle our vendored library headers specially, most
importantly to ignore warnings generated by including them. By
using "-isystem", though, we screw up the order of searched
include directories by moving those bundled dependencies towards
the end of the lookup order. Like this, chances are high that any
other specified include directory contains a file that collides
with the actual desired include file.

Fix this by not treating the bundled dependencies' include
directories as system includes. This will move them to the front
of the lookup order and thus cause them to override
system-provided headers. While this may cause the compiler to
generate additional warnings when processing bundled headers,
this is a tradeoff we should make regardless to fix builds on
systems hitting this issue.

We assume that if we are on Win32, Amiga OS, Solaris or SunOS,
that the regcomp(3P) function cannot be provided by the system.
Thus we will in these cases always include our own, bundled regex
sources to make a regcomp implementation available. This test is
obviously very fragile, and we have seen it fail on MSYS2/MinGW
systems, which do in fact provide the regcomp symbol. The effect
is that during compilation, we will use the "regex.h" header
provided by MinGW, but use symbols provided by ourselves. This
in fact may cause subtle memory layout issues, as the structure
made available via MinGW doesn't match what our bundled code
expects.

There's one more problem with our regex detection: on the listed
platforms, we will incorrectly include the bundled regex code
even in case where the system provides regcomp_l(3), but it will
never be used for anything.

Fix the issue by improving our regcomp detection code. Instead of
relying on a fragile listing of platforms, we can just use
`CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS` instead. This will not in fact avoid the
header-ordering problem. But we can assume that as soon as a
system-provided "regex.h" header is provided, that
`CHECK_FUNCTION_EXISTS` will now correctly find the desired
symbol and thus not include our bundled regex code.

git_array_alloc can return NULL if no memory is available, causing
a segmentation fault in memset. This adds GIT_ERROR_CHECK_ALLOC
similar to how other parts of the code base deal with the return
value of git_array_alloc.

Stop traversing the filesystem at the Windows directory root.  We were
calculating the filesystem root for the given directory to create, and
walking up the filesystem hierarchy.  We intended to stop when the
traversal path length is equal to the root path length (ie, stopping at
the root, since no path may be shorter than the root path).

However, on Windows, the root path may be specified in two different
ways, as either `Z:` or `Z:\`, where `Z:` is the current drive letter.
`git_path_dirname_r` returns the path _without_ a trailing slash, even
for the Windows root.  As a result, during traversal, we need to test
that the traversal path is _less than or equal to_ the root path length
to determine if we've hit the root to ensure that we stop when our
traversal path is `Z:` and our calculated root path was `Z:\`.

The function `git_ignore_path_is_ignored` is there to test the
ignore status of paths that need not necessarily exist inside of
a repository. This has the implication that for a given path, we
cannot always decide whether it references a directory or a file,
and we need to distinguish those cases because ignore rules may
treat those differently. E.g. given the following gitignore file:

    *
    !/**/

we'd only want to unignore directories, while keeping files
ignored. But still, calling `git_ignore_path_is_ignored("dir/")`
will say that this directory is ignored because it treats "dir/"
as a file path.

As said, the `is_ignored` function cannot always decide whether
the given path is a file or directory, and thus it may produce
wrong results in some cases. While this is unfixable in the
general case, we can do better when we are being passed a path
name with a trailing path separator (e.g. "dir/") and always
treat them as directories.

Add a test that verifies that we are able to parse patches which add a
new file that has spaces in its path.

The diff header format is a strange beast in that it is inherently
unparseable in an unambiguous way. While parsing

    a/file.txt b/file.txt

is obvious and trivially doable, parsing a diff header of

    a/file b/file ab.txt b/file b/file ab.txt

is not (but in fact valid and created by git.git).

Due to that, we have relaxed our diff header parser in commit 80226b5f
(patch_parse: allow parsing ambiguous patch headers, 2017-09-22), so
that we started to bail out when seeing diff headers with spaces in
their file names. Instead, we try to use the "---" and "+++" lines,
which are unambiguous.

In some cases, though, we neither have a useable file name from the
header nor from the "---" or "+++" lines. This is the case when we have
a deletion or addition of a file with spaces: the header is unparseable
and the other lines will simply show "/dev/null". This trips our parsing
logic when we try to extract the prefix (the "a/" part) that is being
used in the path line, where we unconditionally try to dereference a
NULL pointer in such a scenario.

We can fix this by simply not trying to parse the prefix in cases where
we have no useable path name. That'd leave the parsed patch without
either `old_prefix` or `new_prefix` populated. But in fact such cases
are already handled by users of the patch object, which simply opt to
use the default prefixes in that case.

Matching on the prefix of a negated pattern was triggering false
negatives on siblings of that pattern. e.g.

Given the .gitignore:
dir/*
!dir/sub1/sub2/**

The path `dir/a.text` would not be ignored.

When a directory's contents are ignored, and then a glob negation is made to a nested subdir, other subdirectories are now unignored

This change fixes a mostly theoretical memory leak in got_odb_new()
that can only manifest if git_cache_init() fails due to running out of
memory or not being able to acquire its lock.

This change frees a copy of a cached object in odb_otype_fast().

Release v0.28.1

Deprecation: export the deprecated functions properly

Enable hard deprecation in our builds to ensure that we do not call
deprecated functions internally.

Add a CMake option to enable hard deprecation; the resultant library
will _not_ include any deprecated functions.  This may be useful for
internal CI builds that create libraries that are not shared with
end-users to ensure that we do not use deprecated bits internally.

Although the error functions were deprecated, we did not properly mark
them as deprecated.  We need to include the `deprecated.h` file in order
to ensure that the functions get their export attributes.

Similarly, do not define `GIT_DEPRECATE_HARD` within the library, or
those functions will also not get their export attributes.  Define that
only on the tests and examples.

ci: skip ssh tests on macOS nightly

Like 811c1c0f, disable the SSH tests on
macOS until we can resolve the newly introduced infrastructure issues.

CI build fixups

SSH tests on macOS have begun failing for an unknown reason after an
infrastructure upgrade to macOS 10.13.6.  Disable those tests
temporarily, until we can resolve it.

Subtle changes in the host OS can have impacts in the CI system that
may be hard to debug.  We previously showed the results of `uname` which
can be difficult to interpret.  Provide more information where
available.
