Fix a regression in the error output emitted when .git/objects can't
be written to. Before 9c4d6c0297b (cache-tree: Write updated
cache-tree after commit, 2014-07-13) we'd emit only one "insufficient
permission" error, now we'll do so again.

The cause is rather straightforward, we've got WRITE_TREE_SILENT for
the use-case of wanting to prepare an index silently, quieting any
permission etc. error output. Then when we attempt to update to
that (possibly broken) index we'll run into the same errors again.

But with 9c4d6c0297b the gap between the cache-tree API and the object
store wasn't closed in terms of asking write_object_file() to be
silent. I.e. post-9c4d6c0297b the first call is to prepare_index(),
and after that we'll call prepare_to_commit(). We only want verbose
error output from the latter.

So let's add and use that facility with a corresponding HASH_SILENT
flag, its only user is cache-tree.c's update_one(), which will set it
if its "WRITE_TREE_SILENT" flag is set.

Improve the error that's emitted in cases where we find a loose object
we parse, but which isn't at the location we expect it to be.

Before this change we'd prefix the error with a not-a-OID derived from
the path at which the object was found, due to an emergent behavior in
how we'd end up with an "OID" in these codepaths.

Now we'll instead say what object we hashed, and what path it was
found at. Before this patch series e.g.:

    $ git hash-object --stdin -w -t blob &lt;/dev/null
    e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
    $ mv objects/e6/ objects/e7

Would emit ("[...]" used to abbreviate the OIDs):

    git fsck
    error: hash mismatch for ./objects/e7/9d[...] (expected e79d[...])
    error: e79d[...]: object corrupt or missing: ./objects/e7/9d[...]

Now we'll instead emit:

    error: e69d[...]: hash-path mismatch, found at: ./objects/e7/9d[...]

Furthermore, we'll do the right thing when the object type and its
location are bad. I.e. this case:

    $ git hash-object --stdin -w -t garbage --literally &lt;/dev/null
    8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
    $ mv objects/83 objects/84

As noted in an earlier commits we'd simply die early in those cases,
until preceding commits fixed the hard die on invalid object type:

    $ git fsck
    fatal: invalid object type

Now we'll instead emit sensible error messages:

    $ git fsck
    error: 8315[...]: hash-path mismatch, found at: ./objects/84/15[...]
    error: 8315[...]: object is of unknown type 'garbage': ./objects/84/15[...]

In both fsck.c and object-file.c we're using null_oid as a sentinel
value for checking whether we got far enough to be certain that the
issue was indeed this OID mismatch.

We need to add the "object corrupt or missing" special-case to deal
with cases where read_loose_object() will return an error before
completing check_object_signature(), e.g. if we have an error in
unpack_loose_rest() because we find garbage after the valid gzip
content:

    $ git hash-object --stdin -w -t blob &lt;/dev/null
    e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
    $ chmod 755 objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
    $ echo garbage &gt;&gt;objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391
    $ git fsck
    error: garbage at end of loose object 'e69d[...]'
    error: unable to unpack contents of ./objects/e6/9d[...]
    error: e69d[...]: object corrupt or missing: ./objects/e6/9d[...]

There is currently some weird messaging in the edge case when the two
are combined, i.e. because we're not explicitly passing along an error
state about this specific scenario from check_stream_oid() via
read_loose_object() we'll end up printing the null OID if an object is
of an unknown type *and* it can't be unpacked by zlib, e.g.:

    $ git hash-object --stdin -w -t garbage --literally &lt;/dev/null
    8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
    $ chmod 755 objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
    $ echo garbage &gt;&gt;objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
    $ /usr/bin/git fsck
    fatal: invalid object type
    $ ~/g/git/git fsck
    error: garbage at end of loose object '8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f'
    error: unable to unpack contents of ./objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
    error: 8315a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f: object corrupt or missing: ./objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
    error: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000: object is of unknown type 'garbage': ./objects/83/15a83d2acc4c174aed59430f9a9c4ed926440f
    [...]

I think it's OK to leave that for future improvements, which would
involve enum-ifying more error state as we've done with "enum
unpack_loose_header_result" in preceding commits. In these
increasingly more obscure cases the worst that can happen is that
we'll get slightly nonsensical or inapplicable error messages.

There's other such potential edge cases, all of which might produce
some confusing messaging, but still be handled correctly as far as
passing along errors goes. E.g. if check_object_signature() returns
and oideq(real_oid, null_oid()) is true, which could happen if it
returns -1 due to the read_istream() call having failed.

<id>urn:sha1:31deb28f5e0c85e8bd556ba135e5f0e0926bad7a</id>
<content type='text'>
Change the error fsck emits on invalid object types, such as:

    $ git hash-object --stdin -w -t garbage --literally &lt;/dev/null
    &lt;OID&gt;

From the very ungraceful error of:

    $ git fsck
    fatal: invalid object type
    $

To:

    $ git fsck
    error: &lt;OID&gt;: object is of unknown type 'garbage': &lt;OID_PATH&gt;
    [ other fsck output ]

We'll still exit with non-zero, but now we'll finish the rest of the
traversal. The tests that's being added here asserts that we'll still
complain about other fsck issues (e.g. an unrelated dangling blob).

To do this we need to pass down the "OBJECT_INFO_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_TYPE"
flag from read_loose_object() through to parse_loose_header(). Since
the read_loose_object() function is only used in builtin/fsck.c we can
simply change it to accept a "struct object_info" (which contains the
OBJECT_INFO_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_TYPE in its flags). See
f6371f92104 (sha1_file: add read_loose_object() function, 2017-01-13)
for the introduction of read_loose_object().

Since we'll need a "struct strbuf" to hold the "type_name" let's pass
it to the for_each_loose_file_in_objdir() callback to avoid allocating
a new one for each loose object in the iteration. It also makes the
memory management simpler than sticking it in fsck_loose() itself, as
we'll only need to strbuf_reset() it, with no need to do a
strbuf_release() before each "return".

Before this commit we'd never check the "type" if read_loose_object()
failed, but now we do. We therefore need to initialize it to OBJ_NONE
to be able to tell the difference between e.g. its
unpack_loose_header() having failed, and us getting past that and into
parse_loose_header().

In C it isn't required to specify that all members of a struct are
zero'd out to 0, NULL or '\0', just providing a "{ 0 }" will
accomplish that.

Let's also change code that provided N zero'd fields to just
provide one, and change e.g. "{ NULL }" to "{ 0 }" for
consistency. I.e. even if the first member is a pointer let's use "0"
instead of "NULL". The point of using "0" consistently is to pick one,
and to not have the reader wonder why we're not using the same pattern
everywhere.

Store the object ID of broken pack entries in an oidset instead of
keeping only their hashes in an unsorted array.  The resulting code is
shorter and easier to read.  It also handles the (hopefully) very rare
case of having a high number of bad objects better.

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/git/commit/?id=f57a739691e2efa1d71851cd725154a5a760d8f4'/>
<id>urn:sha1:f57a739691e2efa1d71851cd725154a5a760d8f4</id>
<content type='text'>
Opening multiple instance of the same MIDX can lead to problems like two
separate packed_git structures which represent the same pack being added
to the repository's object store.

The above scenario can happen because prepare_midx_pack() checks if
`m-&gt;packs[pack_int_id]` is NULL in order to determine if a pack has been
opened and installed in the repository before. But a caller can
construct two copies of the same MIDX by calling get_multi_pack_index()
and load_multi_pack_index() since the former manipulates the
object store directly but the latter is a lower-level routine which
allocates a new MIDX for each call.

So if prepare_midx_pack() is called on multiple MIDXs with the same
pack_int_id, then that pack will be installed twice in the object
store's packed_git pointer.

This can lead to problems in, for e.g., the pack-bitmap code, which does
something like the following (in pack-bitmap.c:open_pack_bitmap()):

    struct bitmap_index *bitmap_git = ...;
    for (p = get_all_packs(r); p; p = p-&gt;next) {
      if (open_pack_bitmap_1(bitmap_git, p) == 0)
        ret = 0;
    }

which is a problem if two copies of the same pack exist in the
packed_git list because pack-bitmap.c:open_pack_bitmap_1() contains a
conditional like the following:

    if (bitmap_git-&gt;pack || bitmap_git-&gt;midx) {
      /* ignore extra bitmap file; we can only handle one */
      warning("ignoring extra bitmap file: %s", packfile-&gt;pack_name);
      close(fd);
      return -1;
    }

Avoid this scenario by not letting write_midx_internal() open a MIDX
that isn't also pointed at by the object store. So long as this is the
case, other routines should prefer to open MIDXs with
get_multi_pack_index() or reprepare_packed_git() instead of creating
instances on their own. Because get_multi_pack_index() returns
`r-&gt;object_store-&gt;multi_pack_index` if it is non-NULL, we'll only have
one instance of a MIDX open at one time, avoiding these problems.

To encourage this, drop the `struct multi_pack_index *` parameter from
`write_midx_internal()`, and rely instead on the `object_dir` to find
(or initialize) the correct MIDX instance.

Likewise, replace the call to `close_midx()` with
`close_object_store()`, since we're about to replace the MIDX with a new
one and should invalidate the object store's memory of any MIDX that
might have existed beforehand.

Note that this now forbids passing object directories that don't belong
to alternate repositories over `--object-dir`, since before we would
have happily opened a MIDX in any directory, but now restrict ourselves
to only those reachable by `r-&gt;objects-&gt;multi_pack_index` (and alternate
MIDXs that we can see by walking the `next` pointer).

As far as I can tell, supporting arbitrary directories with
`--object-dir` was a historical accident, since even the documentation
says `&lt;alt&gt;` when referring to the value passed to this option.
