The convention to calling into built-in command implementation has
been updated to pass the repository, if known, together with the
prefix value.
* jc/pass-repo-to-builtins:
add: pass in repo variable instead of global the_repository
builtin: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY for those without the_repository
builtin: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE from builtin.h
builtin: add a repository parameter for builtin functions
Instead of including USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE by default on every
builtin, remove it from builtin.h and add it to all the builtins that
include builtin.h (by definition, that means all builtins/*.c).
Also, remove the include statement for repository.h since it gets
brought in through builtin.h.
The next step will be to migrate each builtin
from having to use the_repository.

When appending a refspec via `refspec_append_mapped()` we leak the
result of `query_refspecs()`. The overall logic around refspec queries
is quite weird, as callers are expected to either set the `src` or `dst`
pointers, and then the (allocated) result will be in the respective
other struct member.
As we have the `src` member set, plugging the memory leak is thus as
easy as just freeing the `dst` member. While at it, use designated
initializers to initialize the structure.
This leak was exposed by t5516, but fixing it is not sufficient to make
the whole test suite leak free.

When an end-user runs "git push" with an empty string for the remote
repository name, e.g.
$ git push '' main
"git push" fails with a BUG(). Even though this is a nonsense request
that we want to fail, we shouldn't hit a BUG(). Instead we want to give
a sensible error message, e.g., 'bad repository'".
This is because since 9badf97c42 (remote: allow resetting url list,
2024-06-14), we reset the remote URL if the provided URL is empty. When
a user of 'remotes_remote_get' tries to fetch a remote with an empty
repo name, the function initializes the remote via 'make_remote'. But
the remote is still not a valid remote, since the URL is empty, so it
tries to add the URL alias using 'add_url_alias'. This in-turn will call
'add_url', but since the URL is empty we call 'strvec_clear' on the
`remote->url`. Back in 'remotes_remote_get', we again check if the
remote is valid, which fails, so we return 'NULL' for the 'struct
remote *' value.
The 'builtin/push.c' code, calls 'set_refspecs' before validating the
remote. This worked with empty repo names earlier since we would get a
remote, albeit with an empty URL. With the new changes, we get a 'NULL'
remote value, this causes the check for remote to fail and raises the
BUG in 'set_refspecs'.
Do a simple fix by doing remote validation first. Also add a test to
validate the bug fix. With this, we can also now directly pass remote to
'set_refspecs' instead of it trying to lazily obtain it.

When we want to know the push urls for a remote, there is some simple
logic:
- if the user configured any remote.*.pushurl keys, then those make
the complete set of push urls
- otherwise we push to all urls in remote.*.url
Many spots implement this with a level of indirection, assigning to a
local url/url_nr pair. But since both arrays are now strvecs, we can
just use a pointer to select the appropriate strvec, shortening the code
a bit.
Even though this is now a one-liner, since it is application logic that
is present in so many places, it's worth abstracting a helper function.
In fact, we already have such a function, but it's local to
builtin/push.c. So we'll just make it available everywhere via remote.h.
There are two spots to pay special attention to here:
1. in builtin/remote.c's get_url(), we are selecting first based on
push_mode and then falling back to "url" when we're in push_mode
but no pushurl is defined. The updated code makes that much more
clear, compared to the original which had an "else" fall-through.
2. likewise in that file's set_url(), we _only_ respect push_mode,
sine the point is that we are adding to pushurl in that case
(whether it is empty or not). And thus it does not use our helper
function.

Now that the url/pushurl fields of "struct remote" own their strings, we
can switch from bare arrays to strvecs. This has a few advantages:
- push/clear are now one-liners
- likewise the free+assigns in alias_all_urls() can use
strvec_replace()
- we now use size_t for storage, avoiding possible overflow
- this will enable some further cleanups in future patches
There's quite a bit of fallout in the code that reads these fields, as
it tends to access these arrays directly. But it's mostly a mechanical
replacement of "url_nr" with "url.nr", and "url[i]" with "url.v[i]",
with a few variations (e.g. "*url" could become "*url.v", but I used
"url.v[0]" for consistency).

We parse push config by calling git_config() with our git_push_config()
callback. But inside that callback, when we see "push.gpgsign", we
ignore the value passed into the callback and instead make a new call to
git_config_get_value().
This is unnecessary at best, and slightly wrong at worst (if there are
multiple instances, get_value() only returns one; both methods end up
with last-one-wins, but we'd fail to report errors if earlier
incarnations were bogus).
The call was added by 68c757f219 (push: add a config option push.gpgSign
for default signed pushes, 2015-08-19). That commit doesn't give any
reason to deviate from the usual strategy here; it was probably just
somebody unfamiliar with our config API and its conventions.
It also added identical code to builtin/send-pack.c, which also handles
push.gpgsign.
And then the same issue spread to its neighbor in b33a15b081 (push: add
recurseSubmodules config option, 2015-11-17), presumably via
cargo-culting.
This patch fixes all three to just directly use the value provided to
the callback. While I was adjusting the code to do so, I noticed that
push.gpgsign is overly careful about a NULL value. After
git_parse_maybe_bool() has returned anything besides 1, we know that the
value cannot be NULL (if it were, it would be an implicit "true", and
many callers of maybe_bool rely on that). Here that lets us shorten "if
(v && !strcasecmp(v, ...))" to just "if (!strcasecmp(v, ...))".

In a narrow but common case, the user is the only author of a branch and
doesn't mind overwriting the corresponding branch on the remote. This
workflow is especially common on GitHub, GitLab, and Gerrit, which keep
a permanent record of every version of a branch that is pushed while a
pull request is open for that branch. On those platforms, force-pushing
is encouraged and is analogous to emailing a new version of a patchset.
When giving advice about divergent branches, tell the user about
`git pull`, but don't unconditionally instruct the user to do it. A less
prescriptive message will help prevent users from thinking that they are
required to create an integrated history instead of simply replacing the
previous history. Also, don't put `git pull` in an awkward
parenthetical, because `git pull` can always be used to reconcile
branches and is the normal way to do so.
Due to the difficulty of knowing which command for force-pushing is best
suited to the user's situation, no specific advice is given about
force-pushing. Instead, the user is directed to the Git documentation to
read about possible ways forward that do not involve integration.

Reduce reliance on a global state in the config reading API.
* gc/config-context:
config: pass source to config_parser_event_fn_t
config: add kvi.path, use it to evaluate includes
config.c: remove config_reader from configsets
config: pass kvi to die_bad_number()
trace2: plumb config kvi

config: pass ctx with config files
config.c: pass ctx in configsets
config: add ctx arg to config_fn_t
urlmatch.h: use config_fn_t type
config: inline git_color_default_config
Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold
additional information about the config iteration operation.
config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds
metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config
source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested
in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg,
but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future
without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other
ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into
config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the
incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a
config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a
different config value).
In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct
config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free
operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide
meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and
call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg
in any meaningful way.
Most of the changes are performed by
contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every
config_fn_t:
- Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx"
- Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed
- Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed
Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are
called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are
manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed,
but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t
that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of
"struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense.
The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t
outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of
"ctx" to pass. These cases are:
- trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl()
This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2
machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings
using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb().
- builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main()
This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg.
This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since
git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much
more than just parsing.
Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct
key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the
"ctx" arg.

work in some scenarios, for example, branches synchronization and batch
upload.
The '--all' was introduced for a long time, meanwhile, git supports to
customize the storage location under "refs/". when a new git user see
the usage like, 'git push origin --all', we might feel like we're
pushing _all_ the refs instead of just branches without looking at the
documents until we found the related description of it or '--mirror'.
To ensure compatibility, we cannot rename '--all' to another name
directly, one way is, we can try to add a new option '--heads' which be
identical with the functionality of '--all' to let the user understand
the meaning of representation more clearly. Actually, We've more or less
named options this way already, for example, in 'git-show-ref' and 'git
ls-remote'.
At the same time, we fix a related issue about the wrong help

hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and

parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where
the convenience inline functions aren't needed.
This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers. It
also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was

implicitly brought in by object.h), so also adjust other files to be

For users who use this feature regularly, it is desirable to have an

It turns out that such a configuration (push.recurseSubmodules=only) is
already supported, even though it is neither documented nor mentioned
in the commit messages, due to the way the --recurse-submodules=only
feature was implemented (a function used to parse --recurse-submodules
was updated to support "only", but that same function is used to parse
push.recurseSubmodules too). What is left is to document it and test it,
which is what this commit does.
There is a possible point of confusion when recursing into a submodule
that itself has the push.recurseSubmodules=only configuration, because
if a repository has only its submodules pushed and not itself, its
superproject can never be pushed. Therefore, treat such configurations
as being "on-demand", and print a warning message.

In some "simple" centralized workflows, users expect remote tracking
branch names to match local branch names. "git push" pushes to the
remote version/instance of the branch, and "git pull" pulls any changes
to the remote branch (changes made by the same user in another place, or
by other users).
This expectation is supported by the push.default default option "simple"
which refuses a default push for a mismatching tracking branch name, and
by the new branch.autosetupmerge option, "simple", which only sets up
remote tracking for same-name remote branches.
When a new branch has been created by the user and has not yet been
pushed (and push.default is not set to "current"), the user is prompted
with a "The current branch %s has no upstream branch" error, and
instructions on how to push and add tracking.
This error is helpful in that following the advice once per branch
"resolves" the issue for that branch forever, but inconvenient in that
for the "simple" centralized workflow, this is always the right thing to
do, so it would be better to just do it.
Support this workflow with a new config setting, push.autoSetupRemote,
which will cause a default push, when there is no remote tracking branch
configured, to push to the same-name on the remote and --set-upstream.
Also add a hint offering this new option when the "The current branch %s
has no upstream branch" error is encountered, and add corresponding tests.

With the default push.default option, "simple", beginners are
protected from accidentally pushing to the "wrong" branch in
centralized workflows: if the remote tracking branch they would push
to does not have the same name as the local branch, and they try to do
a "default push", they get an error and explanation with options.
There is a particular centralized workflow where this often happens:
a user branches to a new local topic branch from an existing
remote branch, eg with "checkout -b feature1 origin/master". With
the default branch.autosetupmerge configuration (value "true"), git
will automatically add origin/master as the upstream tracking branch.
When the user pushes with a default "git push", with the intention of
pushing their (new) topic branch to the remote, they get an error, and
(amongst other things) a suggestion to run "git push origin HEAD".
If they follow this suggestion the push succeeds, but on subsequent
default pushes they continue to get an error - so eventually they
figure out to add "-u" to change the tracking branch, or they spelunk
the push.default config doc as proposed and set it to "current", or
some GUI tooling does one or the other of these things for them.
When one of their coworkers later works on the same topic branch,
they don't get any of that "weirdness". They just "git checkout
feature1" and everything works exactly as they expect, with the shared
remote branch set up as remote tracking branch, and push and pull
working out of the box.
The "stable state" for this way of working is that local branches have
the same-name remote tracking branch (origin/feature1 in this
example), and multiple people can work on that remote feature branch
at the same time, trusting "git pull" to merge or rebase as required
for them to be able to push their interim changes to that same feature
branch on that same remote.
(merging from the upstream "master" branch, and merging back to it,
are separate more involved processes in this flow).
There is a problem in this flow/way of working, however, which is that
the first user, when they first branched from origin/master, ended up
with the "wrong" remote tracking branch (different from the stable
state). For a while, before they pushed (and maybe longer, if they
don't use -u/--set-upstream), their "git pull" wasn't getting other
users' changes to the feature branch - it was getting any changes from
the remote "master" branch instead (a completely different class of
changes!)
An experienced git user might say "well yeah, that's what it means to
have the remote tracking branch set to origin/master!" - but the
original user above didn't *ask* to have the remote master branch
added as remote tracking branch - that just happened automatically
when they branched their feature branch. They didn't necessarily even
notice or understand the meaning of the "set up to track 'origin/master'"
message when they created the branch - especially if they are using a
GUI.
Looking at how to fix this, you might think "OK, so disable auto setup
of remote tracking - set branch.autosetupmerge to false" - but that
will inconvenience the *second* user in this story - the one who just
wanted to start working on the topic branch. The first and second
users swap roles at different points in time of course - they should
both have a sane configuration that does the right thing in both
situations.
Make this "branches have the same name locally as on the remote"
workflow less painful / more obvious by introducing a new
branch.autosetupmerge option called "simple", to match the same-name
"push.default" option that makes similar assumptions.
This new option automatically sets up tracking in a *subset* of the
current default situations: when the original ref is a remote tracking
branch *and* has the same branch name on the remote (as the new local
branch name).
Update the error displayed when the 'push.default=simple' configuration
rejects a mismatching-upstream-name default push, to offer this new
branch.autosetupmerge option that will prevent this class of error.
With this new configuration, in the example situation above, the first
user does *not* get origin/master set up as the tracking branch for
the new local branch. If they "git pull" in their new local-only
branch, they get an error explaining there is no upstream branch -
which makes sense and is helpful. If they "git push", they get an
error explaining how to push *and* suggesting they specify
--set-upstream - which is exactly the right thing to do for them.
This new option is likely not appropriate for users intentionally
implementing a "triangular workflow" with a shared upstream tracking
branch, that they "git pull" in and a "private" feature branch that
they push/force-push to just for remote safe-keeping until they are
ready to push up to the shared branch explicitly/separately. Such
users are likely to prefer keeping the current default
merge.autosetupmerge=true behavior, and change their push.default to
"current".
Also extend the existing branch tests with three new cases testing
this option - the obvious matching-name and non-matching-name cases,
and also a non-matching-ref-type case. The matching-name case needs to
temporarily create an independent repo to fetch from, as the general
strategy of using the local repo as the remote in these tests
precludes locally branching with the same name as in the "remote".

Use the same message when an invalid value is passed to a command line

In c4a09cc9cc (Merge branch 'hw/advise-ng', 2020-03-25), a new API for
accessing advice variables was introduced and deprecated `advice_config`
in favor of a new array, `advice_setting`.
This patch ports all but two uses which read the status of the global
`advice_` variables over to the new `advice_enabled` API. We'll deal
with advice_add_embedded_repo and advice_graft_file_deprecated
separately.

All we need to know is that their names are the same.
Additionally this might be easier to parse for some since
remote_for_branch is more descriptive than remote_get(NULL).

It's a single line that is used in a single place, and the variable has
the same name as the function.

If fetch_remote is NULL (i.e. the branch remote is invalid), then it
can't possibly be same as remote, which can't be NULL.
The check is redundant, and so is the extra variable.
Also, fix the Yoda condition: we want to check if remote is the same as
the branch remote, not the other way around.

Only override dst on the odd case.
This allows a preemptive break on the `simple` case.

All of the setup_push_* functions are appending a refspec. Do this only
once on the parent function.
