Subject: [PATCH v3 07/10] mktag: use fsck instead of custom verify_tag()

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2020 21:01:37 +0100

Change the validation logic in "mktag" to use fsck's fsck_tag()
instead of its own custom parser. Curiously the logic for both dates
back to the same commit[1]. Let's unify them so we're not maintaining
two sets functions to verify that a tag is OK.

The behavior of fsck_tag() and the old "mktag" code being removed here
is different in few aspects.

I think it makes sense to remove some of those checks, namely:

 A. fsck only cares that the timezone matches [-+][0-9]{4}. The mktag
    code disallowed values larger than 1400.

    Yes there's currently no timezone with a greater offset[2], but
    since we allow any number of non-offical timezones (e.g. +1234)
    passing this through seems fine. Git also won't break in the
    future if e.g. French Polynesia decides it needs to outdo the Line
    Islands when it comes to timezone extravagance.

 B. fsck allows missing author names such as "tagger <email>", mktag
    wouldn't, but would allow e.g. "tagger [2 spaces] <email>" (but
    not "tagger [1 space] <email>"). Now we allow all of these.

 C. Like B, but "mktag" disallowed spaces in the <email> part, fsck
    allows it.

In some ways fsck_tag() is stricter than "mktag" was, namely:

 D. fsck disallows zero-padded dates, but mktag didn't care. So
    e.g. the timestamp "0000000000 +0000" produces an error now. A
    test in "t1006-cat-file.sh" relied on this, it's been changed to
    use "hash-object" (without fsck) instead.

There was one check I deemed worth keeping by porting it over to
fsck_tag():

 E. "mktag" did not allow any custom headers, and by extension (as an
    empty commit is allowed) also forbade an extra stray trailing
    newline after the headers it knew about.

    Add a new check in the "ignore" category to fsck and use it. This
    somewhat abuses the facility added in efaba7cc77f (fsck:
    optionally ignore specific fsck issues completely, 2015-06-22).

    This is somewhat of hack, but probably the least invasive change
    we can make here. The fsck command will shuffle these categories
    around, e.g. under --strict the "info" becomes a "warn" and "warn"
    becomes "error". Existing users of fsck's (and others,
    e.g. index-pack) --strict option rely on this.

    So we need to put something into a category that'll be ignored by
    all existing users of the API. Pretending that
    fsck.extraHeaderEntry=error ("ignore" by default) was set serves
    to do this for us.

   objects., 2005-04-25)
