In v2.2.0, we broke "git prune" that runs in a repository that
borrows from an alternate object store.

We feed a root "objdir" path to this iterator function,
which then copies the result into a strbuf, so that it can
repeatedly append the object sub-directories to it. Let's
make it easy for callers to just pass us a strbuf in the
first place.

We leave the original interface as a convenience for callers
who want to just pass a const string like the result of
get_object_directory().

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=d306f3d3513c62342fec4e31457766f2473f9e9a'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d306f3d3513c62342fec4e31457766f2473f9e9a</id>
<content type='text'>
The decimal_width function originally appeared in blame.c as
"lineno_width", and was designed for calculating the
print-width of small-ish integer values (line numbers in
text files). In ec7ff5b, it was made into a reusable
function, and in dc801e7, we started using it to align
diffstats.

Binary files in a diffstat show byte counts rather than line
numbers, meaning they can be quite large (e.g., consider
adding or removing a 2GB file). decimal_width is not up to
the challenge for two reasons:

  1. It takes the value as an "int", whereas large files may
     easily surpass this. The value may be truncated, in
     which case we will produce an incorrect value.

  2. It counts "up" by repeatedly multiplying another
     integer by 10 until it surpasses the value.  This can
     cause an infinite loop when the value is close to the
     largest representable integer.

     For example, consider using a 32-bit signed integer,
     and a value of 2,140,000,000 (just shy of 2^31-1).
     We will count up and eventually see that 1,000,000,000
     is smaller than our value. The next step would be to
     multiply by 10 and see that 10,000,000,000 is too
     large, ending the loop. But we can't represent that
     value, and we have signed overflow.

     This is technically undefined behavior, but a common
     behavior is to lose the high bits, in which case our
     iterator will certainly be less than the number. So
     we'll keep multiplying, overflow again, and so on.

This patch changes the argument to a uintmax_t (the same
type we use to store the diffstat information for binary
filese), and counts "down" by repeatedly dividing our value
by 10.

<content type='text'>
The point of disallowing ".git" in the index is that we
would never want to accidentally overwrite files in the
repository directory. But this means we need to respect the
filesystem's idea of when two paths are equal. The prior
commit added a helper to make such a comparison for NTFS
and FAT32; let's use it in verify_path().

We make this check optional for two reasons:

  1. It restricts the set of allowable filenames, which is
     unnecessary for people who are not on NTFS nor FAT32.
     In practice this probably doesn't matter, though, as
     the restricted names are rather obscure and almost
     certainly would never come up in practice.

  2. It has a minor performance penalty for every path we
     insert into the index.

This patch ties the check to the core.protectNTFS config
option. Though this is expected to be most useful on Windows,
we allow it to be set everywhere, as NTFS may be mounted on
other platforms. The variable does default to on for Windows,
though.
