1e7e4a111f environment: stop storing "core.notesRef" globally
Stop storing the "core.notesRef" config value globally. Instead,
retrieve the value in `default_notes_ref()`. The code is never called in
a hot loop anyway, so doing this on every invocation should be perfectly
fine.

11dbb4ace3 environment: stop storing "core.warnAmbiguousRefs" globally
Same as the preceding commits, storing the "core.warnAmbiguousRefs"
value globally is misdesigned as this setting may be set per repository.

Move the logic into the repo-settings subsystem. The usual pattern here
is that users are expected to call `prepare_repo_settings()` before they
access the settings themselves. This seems somewhat fragile though, as
it is easy to miss and leads to somewhat ugly code patterns at the call
sites.

Instead, introduce a new function that encapsulates this logic for us.
This also allows us to change how exactly the lazy initialization works
in the future, e.g. by only partially initializing values as requested
by the caller.

8e2e8a33f3 environment: stop storing "core.preferSymlinkRefs" globally
Same as the preceding commit, storing the "core.preferSymlinkRefs" value
globally is misdesigned as this setting may be set per repository.

There is only a single user of this value anyway, namely the "files"
backend. So let's just remove the global variable and read the value of
this setting when initializing the backend.

eafb126456 environment: stop storing "core.logAllRefUpdates" globally
The value of "core.logAllRefUpdates" is being stored in the global
variable `log_all_ref_updates`. This design is somewhat aged nowadays,
where it is entirely possible to access multiple repositories in the
same process which all have different values for this setting. So using
a single global variable to track it is plain wrong.

Remove the global variable. Instead, we now provide a new function part
of the repo-settings subsystem that parses the value for a specific
repository. While that may require us to read the value multiple times,
we work around this by reading it once when the ref backends are set up
and caching the value there.

9a20b889e8 refs: stop modifying global log_all_ref_updates variable
In refs-related code we modify the global `log_all_ref_updates`
variable, which is done because `should_autocreate_reflog()` does not
accept passing an `enum log_refs_config` but instead accesses the global
variable. Adapt its interface such that the value is provided by the
caller, which allows us to compute the proper value locally without
having to modify global state.

This change requires us to move the enum to "repo-settings.h", or
otherwise we get compilation errors due to include cycles. We're about
to fully move this setting into the repo-settings subsystem anyway, so
this is fine.

673af418d0 environment: guard state depending on a repository
In "environment.h" we have quite a lot of functions and variables that
either explicitly or implicitly depend on `the_repository`.

The implicit set of stateful declarations includes for example variables
which get populated when parsing a repository's Git configuration. This
set of variables is broken by design, as their state often depends on
the last repository config that has been parsed. So they may or may not
represent the state of `the_repository`.

Fixing that is quite a big undertaking, and later patches in this series
will demonstrate a solution for a first small set of those variables. So
for now, let's guard these with `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` so that
callers are aware of the implicit dependency.

f2d70847bd environment: reorder header to split out the_repository-free section
Reorder the "environment.h" header such that declarations which are free
from `the_repository` come before those which aren't. The new structure
is now:

    - Defines for environment variable names.

    - Things which do not rely on a repository.

    - Things which do, including those that implicitly rely on a parsed
      repository. This includes for example variables which get
      populated when reading repository config.

This will allow us to guard the last category of declarations with
`USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE`.

648abbe22d config: fix leaking comment character config
When the comment line character has been specified multiple times in the
configuration, then `git_default_core_config()` will cause a memory leak
because it unconditionally copies the string into `comment_line_str`
without free'ing the previous value. In fact, it can't easily free the
value in the first place because it may contain a string constant.

Refactor the code such that we track allocated comment character strings
via a separate non-constant variable `comment_line_str_to_free`. Adapt
sites that set `comment_line_str` to set both and free the old value
that was stored in `comment_line_str_to_free`.

This memory leak is being hit in t3404. As there are still other memory
leaks in that file we cannot yet mark it as passing with leak checking
enabled.

b79deeb554 advice: add --no-advice global option
Advice hints must be disabled individually by setting the relevant
advice.* variables to false in the Git configuration. For server-side
and scripted usages of Git where hints can be a hindrance, it can be
cumbersome to maintain configuration to ensure all advice hints are
disabled in perpetuity. This is a particular concern in tests, where
new or changed hints can result in failed assertions.

Add a --no-advice global option to disable all advice hints from being
displayed. This is independent of the toggles for individual advice
hints. Use an internal environment variable (GIT_ADVICE) to ensure this
configuration is propagated to the usage site, even if it executes in a
subprocess.

There is no longer any code which references the single-byte
comment_line_char. Let's drop it, clearing the way for true multi-byte
entries in comment_line_str.

It's possible there are topics in flight that have added new references
to comment_line_char. But we would prefer to fail compilation (and then
fix it) upon merging with this, rather than have them quietly ignore the
bytes after the first.

72a7d5d97f environment: store comment_line_char as a string
We'd like to eventually support multi-byte comment prefixes, but the
comment_line_char variable is referenced in many spots, making the
transition difficult.

Let's start by storing the character in a NUL-terminated string. That
will let us switch code over incrementally to the string format, and we
can easily support the existing code with a macro wrapper (since we'll
continue to allow only a single-byte prefix, this will behave
identically).

Once all references to the "char" variable have been converted, we can
drop it and enable longer strings.

We'll still have to touch all of the spots that create or set the
variable in this patch, but there are only a few (reading the config,
and the "auto" character selector).

e6d5479e7a git: extend --no-lazy-fetch to work across subprocesses
Modeling after how the `--no-replace-objects` option is made usable
across subprocess spawning (e.g., cURL based remote helpers are
spawned as a separate process while running "git fetch"), allow the
`--no-lazy-fetch` option to be passed across process boundaries.

Do not model how the value of GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS environment
variable is ignored, though.  Just use the usual git_env_bool() to
allow "export GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH=0" and "unset GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH"
to be equivalents.

Also do not model how the request is not propagated to subprocesses
we spawn (e.g. "git clone --local" that spawns a new process to work
in the origin repository, while the original one working in the
newly created one) by the "--no-replace-objects" option, as this "do
not lazily fetch from the promisor" is more about a per-request
debugging aid, not "this repository's promisor should not be relied
upon" property specific to a repository.

be20128bfa add core.maxTreeDepth config
Most of our tree traversal algorithms use recursion to visit sub-trees.
For pathologically large trees, this can cause us to run out of stack
space and abort in an uncontrolled way. Let's put our own limit here so
that we can fail gracefully rather than segfaulting.

In similar cases where we recursed along the commit graph, we rewrote
the algorithms to avoid recursion and keep any stack data on the heap.
But the commit graph is meant to grow without bound, whereas it's not an
imposition to put a limit on the maximum size of tree we'll handle.

And this has a bonus side effect: coupled with a limit on individual
tree entry names, this limits the total size of a path we may encounter.
This gives us an extra protection against code handling long path names
which may suffer from integer overflows in the size (which could then be
exploited by malicious trees).

The default of 4096 is set to be much longer than anybody would care
about in the real world. Even with single-letter interior tree names
(like "a/b/c"), such a path is at least 8191 bytes. While most operating
systems will let you create such a path incrementally, trying to
reference the whole thing in a system call (as Git would do when
actually trying to access it) will result in ENAMETOOLONG. Coupled with
the recent fsck.largePathname warning, the maximum total pathname Git
will handle is (by default) 16MB.

This config option doesn't do anything yet; future patches will convert
various algorithms to respect the limit.

Since 99fb6e04cb (pack-objects: convert to use parse_options(),

this option does the same as --keep-true-parents.  That's because it's
defined using OPT_SET_INT with a value of 0, which sets 0 when negated
as well.

Turn --no-keep-true-parents into the opposite of --keep-true-parents by
using OPT_BOOL and storing the option's status directly in a variable
named "grafts_keep_true_parents" instead of in negative form in
"grafts_replace_parents".

3867f6d650 repository: move 'repository_format_worktree_config' to repo scope
Move 'repository_format_worktree_config' out of the global scope and into
the 'repository' struct. This change is similar to how
'repository_format_partial_clone' was moved in ebaf3bcf1a (repository: move
global r_f_p_c to repo struct, 2021-06-17), adding it to the 'repository'
struct and updating 'setup.c' & 'repository.c' functions to assign the value
appropriately.

The primary goal of this change is to be able to load the worktree config of
a submodule depending on whether that submodule - not its superproject - has
'extensions.worktreeConfig' enabled. To ensure 'do_git_config_sequence()'
has access to the newly repo-scoped configuration, add a 'struct repository'
argument to 'do_git_config_sequence()' and pass it the 'repo' value from
'config_with_options()'.

Finally, add/update tests in 't3007-ls-files-recurse-submodules.sh' to
verify 'extensions.worktreeConfig' is read an used independently by
superprojects and submodules.

Earlier, 47cfc9bd (attr: add flag `--source` to work with tree-ish,
2023-01-14) taught "git check-attr" the "--source=<tree>" option to
allow it to read attribute files from a tree-ish, but did so only
for the command.  Just like "check-attr" users wanted a way to use
attributes from a tree-ish and not from the working tree files,
users of other commands (like "git diff") would benefit from the
same.

Undo most of the UI change the commit made, while keeping the
internal logic to read attributes from a given tree-ish. Expose the
internal logic via a new "--attr-source=<tree>" command line option
given to "git", so that it can be used with any git command that
runs as part of the main git process.

Additionally, add an environment variable GIT_ATTR_SOURCE that is set
when --attr-source is passed in, so that subprocesses use the same value
for the attributes source tree.
