The multi-pack-index command supports working with arbitrary object
directories via the `--object-dir` flag. Though this has historically
worked in arbitrary repositories (including when the command itself was
run outside of a Git repository), this has been somewhat of an accident.
For example, running:
git multi-pack-index write --object-dir=/path/to/repo/objects
outside of a Git repository causes a BUG(). This is because the
top-level `cmd_multi_pack_index()` function stops parsing when it sees
"write", and then fills in the default object directory (the result of
calling `get_object_directory()`) before handing off to
`cmd_multi_pack_index_write()`. But there is no repository to
initialize, and so calling `get_object_directory()` results in a BUG()
(indicating that the current repository is not initialized).
Another case where this doesn't quite work as expected is when operating
in a SHA-256 repository. To see the failure, try this in your shell:
git init --object-format=sha256 repo
git -C repo commit --allow-empty base
git -C repo repack -d
git multi-pack-index --object-dir=$(pwd)/repo/.git/objects write
and observe that we cannot open the `.idx` file in "repo", because the
outermost process assumes that any repository that it works in also uses
the default value of `the_hash_algo` (at the time of writing, SHA-1).
There may be compelling reasons for trying to work around these bugs,
but working in arbitrary `--object-dir`'s is non-standard enough (and
likewise, these bugs prevalent enough) that I don't think any workflows
would be broken by abandoning this behavior.
Accordingly, restrict the `multi-pack-index` builtin to only work when
inside of a Git repository (i.e., its main utility becomes selecting
which alternate to operate in), which avoids both of the bugs above.
(Note that you can still trigger a bug when writing a MIDX in an
alternate which does not use the same object format as the repository
which it is an alternate of, but that is an unrelated bug to this one).

Use multiple worker processes to distribute the queued entries and call
write_pc_item() in parallel for them. The items are distributed
uniformly in contiguous chunks. This minimizes the chances of two
workers writing to the same directory simultaneously, which could affect
performance due to lock contention in the kernel. Work stealing (or any
other format of re-distribution) is not implemented yet.
The protocol between the main process and the workers is quite simple.
They exchange binary messages packed in pkt-line format, and use
PKT-FLUSH to mark the end of input (from both sides). The main process
starts the communication by sending N pkt-lines, each corresponding to
an item that needs to be written. These packets contain all the
necessary information to load, smudge, and write the blob associated
with each item. Then it waits for the worker to send back N pkt-lines
containing the results for each item. The resulting packet must contain:
the identification number of the item that it refers to, the status of
the operation, and the lstat() data gathered after writing the file (iff
the operation was successful).
For now, checkout always uses a hardcoded value of 2 workers, only to
demonstrate that the parallel checkout framework correctly divides and
writes the queued entries. The next patch will add user configurations
and define a more reasonable default, based on tests with the said
settings.

When commands are started from a subdirectory, they may have to
compare the path to the subdirectory (called prefix and found out
from $(pwd)) with the tracked paths. On macOS, $(pwd) and
readdir() yield decomposed path, while the tracked paths are
usually normalized to the precomposed form, causing mismatch. This
has been fixed by taking the same approach used to normalize the
command line arguments.
* tb/precompose-prefix-too:
MacOS: precompose_argv_prefix()
The following sequence leads to a "BUG" assertion running under MacOS:
DIR=git-test-restore-p
Adiarnfd=$(printf 'A\314\210')
DIRNAME=xx${Adiarnfd}yy
mkdir $DIR &&
cd $DIR &&
git init &&
mkdir $DIRNAME &&

echo y | git restore -p .
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git-test-restore-p/.git/
BUG: pathspec.c:495: error initializing pathspec_item
Cannot close git diff-index --cached --numstat
[snip]
The command `git restore` is run from a directory inside a Git repo.
Git needs to split the $CWD into 2 parts:
The path to the repo and "the rest", if any.
"The rest" becomes a "prefix" later used inside the pathspec code.
As an example, "/path/to/repo/dir-inside-repå" would determine
"/path/to/repo" as the root of the repo, the place where the
configuration file .git/config is found.
The rest becomes the prefix ("dir-inside-repå"), from where the
pathspec machinery expands the ".", more about this later.
If there is a decomposed form, (making the decomposing visible like this),
"dir-inside-rep°a" doesn't match "dir-inside-repå".
Git commands need to:
(a) read the configuration variable "core.precomposeunicode"
(b) precocompose argv[]
(c) precompose the prefix, if there was any
The first commit,
76759c7dff "git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode"
addressed (a) and (b).
The call to precompose_argv() was added into parse-options.c,
because that seemed to be a good place when the patch was written.
Commands that don't use parse-options need to do (a) and (b) themselfs.
The commands `diff-files`, `diff-index`, `diff-tree` and `diff`
learned (a) and (b) in
commit 90a78b83e0 "diff: run arguments through precompose_argv"
Branch names (or refs in general) using decomposed code points
resulting in decomposed file names had been fixed in
commit 8e712ef6fc "Honor core.precomposeUnicode in more places"
The bug report from above shows 2 things:
- more commands need to handle precomposed unicode
- (c) should be implemented for all commands using pathspecs
Solution:
precompose_argv() now handles the prefix (if needed), and is renamed into
precompose_argv_prefix().
Inside this function the config variable core.precomposeunicode is read
into the global variable precomposed_unicode, as before.
This reading is skipped if precomposed_unicode had been read before.
The original patch for preocomposed unicode, 76759c7dff, placed
precompose_argv() into parse-options.c
Now add it into git.c::run_builtin() as well. Existing precompose
calls in diff-files.c and others may become redundant, and if we
audit the callflows that reach these places to make sure that they
can never be reached without going through the new call added to
run_builtin(), we might be able to remove these existing ones.
But in this commit, we do not bother to do so and leave these
precompose callsites as they are. Because precompose() is
idempotent and can be called on an already precomposed string
safely, this is safer than removing existing calls without fully
vetting the callflows.
There is certainly room for cleanups - this change intends to be a bug fix.
Cleanups needs more tests in e.g. t/t3910-mac-os-precompose.sh, and should
be done in future commits.

Introduce two new ways to feed configuration variable-value pairs
via environment variables, and tweak the way GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS
encodes variable/value pairs to make it more robust.
* ps/config-env-pairs:
config: allow specifying config entries via envvar pairs
environment: make `getenv_safe()` a public function
config: store "git -c" variables using more robust format
config: parse more robust format in GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS
config: extract function to parse config pairs
quote: make sq_dequote_step() a public function
config: add new way to pass config via `--config-env`
git: add `--super-prefix` to usage string
While it's already possible to pass runtime configuration via `git -c
<key>=<value>`, it may be undesirable to use when the value contains
sensitive information. E.g. if one wants to set `http.extraHeader` to
contain an authentication token, doing so via `-c` would trivially leak
those credentials via e.g. ps(1), which typically also shows command
arguments.
To enable this usecase without leaking credentials, this commit
introduces a new switch `--config-env=<key>=<envvar>`. Instead of
directly passing a value for the given key, it instead allows the user
to specify the name of an environment variable. The value of that
variable will then be used as value of the key.

The path to the lock file is built using

Let's teach maintenance command to use RUN_SETUP option that will

Hence fixing the SEGFAULT for all three operations and making the

The 'gc' builtin is our current entrypoint for automatically maintaining
a repository. This one tool does many operations, such as repacking the
repository, packing refs, and rewriting the commit-graph file. The name
implies it performs "garbage collection" which means several different
things, and some users may not want to use this operation that rewrites
the entire object database.
Create a new 'maintenance' builtin that will become a more general-
purpose command. To start, it will only support the 'run' subcommand,
but will later expand to add subcommands for scheduling maintenance in
the background.
For now, the 'maintenance' builtin is a thin shim over the 'gc' builtin.
In fact, the only option is the '--auto' toggle, which is handed
directly to the 'gc' builtin. The current change is isolated to this
simple operation to prevent more interesting logic from being lost in
all of the boilerplate of adding a new builtin.
Use existing builtin/gc.c file because we want to share code between the
two builtins. It is possible that we will have 'maintenance' replace the
'gc' builtin entirely at some point, leaving 'git gc' as an alias for
some specific arguments to 'git maintenance run'.
Create a new test_subcommand helper that allows us to test if a certain
subcommand was run. It requires storing the GIT_TRACE2_EVENT logs in a
file. A negation mode is available that will be used in later tests.

There's no real reason for credential helpers to be separate binaries. I
did them this way originally under the notion that helper don't _need_
to be part of Git, and so can be built totally separately (and indeed,
the ones in contrib/credential are). But the ones in our main Makefile
build on libgit.a, and the resulting binaries are reasonably large.
We can slim down our total disk footprint by just making them builtins.
This reduces the size of:
make strip install
from 29MB to 24MB on my Debian system.
Note that credential-cache can't operate without support for Unix
sockets. Currently we just don't build it at all when NO_UNIX_SOCKETS is
set. We could continue that with conditionals in the Makefile and our
list of builtins. But instead, let's build a dummy implementation that
dies with an informative message. That has two advantages:
- it's simpler, because the conditional bits are all kept inside
the credential-cache source
- a user who is expecting it to exist will be told _why_ they can't
use it, rather than getting the "credential-cache is not a git
command" error which makes it look like the Git install is broken.
Note that our dummy implementation does still respond to "-h" in order

git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |

Wait for child on signal death for aliases to externals
Wait for child on signal death for aliases to builtins
When we are running an alias to an external command, we want to wait for
that process to exit even after receiving ^C which normally kills the
git process. This is useful when the process is ignoring SIGINT (which
e.g. pagers often do), and then we don't want it to be killed.
Having an alias which invokes a pager is probably not common, but it can
be useful e.g. if you have an alias to a git command which uses a
subshell as one of the arguments (in which case you have to use an
external command, not an alias to a builtin).
This patch is similar to the previous commit, but the previous commit
fixed this only for aliases to builtins, while this commit does the same
for aliases to external commands. In addition to waiting after clean
like the previous commit, this also enables cleaning the child (that was
already enabled for aliases to builtins before the previous commit),
because wait_after_clean relies on it. Lastly, while the previous commit
fixed a regression, I don't think this has ever worked properly.

However, when using an alias there is an additional process in the tree
which didn't ignore the signal. That caused it to exit which in turn
caused the pager to exit. This fixes that for aliases to builtins.

Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden, and has in fact

Use the macro COPY_ARRAY to copy array elements and MOVE_ARRAY to do the
same for moving them backwards in an array with potential overlap. The
result is shorter and safer, as it infers the element type automatically
and does a (very) basic type compatibility check for its first two
arguments.
These cases were missed by Coccinelle and contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci
because the type of the elements is "const char *", not "char *", and
the rules in the semantic patch cautiously insist on the sizeof operator
being used on exactly the same type to avoid generating transformations
that introduce subtle bugs into tricky code.

Support building Git with Visual Studio
The bits about .git/branches/* have been dropped from the series.
We may want to drop the support for it, but until that happens, the
tests should rely on the existence of the support to pass.
* js/visual-studio: (23 commits)
git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed form
bin-wrappers: append `.exe` to target paths if necessary
.gitignore: ignore Visual Studio's temporary/generated files
.gitignore: touch up the entries regarding Visual Studio
vcxproj: also link-or-copy builtins
msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual Studio solution
contrib/buildsystems: add a backend for modern Visual Studio versions
contrib/buildsystems: handle options starting with a slash
contrib/buildsystems: also handle -lexpat
contrib/buildsystems: handle libiconv, too
contrib/buildsystems: handle the curl library option
contrib/buildsystems: error out on unknown option
contrib/buildsystems: optionally capture the dry-run in a file
contrib/buildsystems: redirect errors of the dry run into a log file
contrib/buildsystems: ignore gettext stuff
contrib/buildsystems: handle quoted spaces in filenames
contrib/buildsystems: fix misleading error message
contrib/buildsystems: ignore irrelevant files in Generators/
contrib/buildsystems: ignore invalidcontinue.obj
Vcproj.pm: urlencode '<' and '>' when generating VC projects
...
This is one of the few places where Git violates its own deprecation of
the dashed form. It is not necessary, either.
As of 595d59e2b5 (git.c: ignore pager.* when launching builtin as
dashed external, 2017-08-02), Git wants to ignore the pager.* config
setting when expanding aliases. So let's strip out the
check_pager_config(<command-name>) call from the copy-edited code.
This code actually made it into upstream git.git already, but it was
disabled in `#if 0 ... #endif` guards so far.

Many GIT_TEST_* environment variables control various aspects of
how our tests are run, but a few followed "non-empty is true, empty
or unset is false" while others followed the usual "there are a few
ways to spell true, like yes, on, etc., and also ways to spell
false, like no, off, etc." convention.
* ab/test-env:
env--helper: mark a file-local symbol as static
tests: make GIT_TEST_FAIL_PREREQS a boolean
tests: replace test_tristate with "git env--helper"
tests README: re-flow a previously changed paragraph
tests: make GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON a boolean
t6040 test: stop using global "script" variable
config.c: refactor die_bad_number() to not call gettext() early
env--helper: new undocumented builtin wrapping git_env_*()
config tests: simplify include cycle test
We skipped marking the "rebase" built-in as requiring a .git/ directory
and a worktree only to allow to spawn the scripted version of `git
rebase`.
Now that we no longer have that escape hatch, we can change that to the
canonical form.

Two new commands "git switch" and "git restore" are introduced to
split "checking out a branch to work on advancing its history" and
"checking out paths out of the index and/or a tree-ish to work on
advancing the current history" out of the single "git checkout"
command.
* nd/switch-and-restore: (46 commits)
completion: disable dwim on "git switch -d"
switch: allow to switch in the middle of bisect
t2027: use test_must_be_empty
Declare both git-switch and git-restore experimental
help: move git-diff and git-reset to different groups
doc: promote "git restore"
user-manual.txt: prefer 'merge --abort' over 'reset --hard'
completion: support restore
t: add tests for restore
restore: support --patch
restore: replace --force with --ignore-unmerged
restore: default to --source=HEAD when only --staged is specified
restore: reject invalid combinations with --staged
restore: add --worktree and --staged
checkout: factor out worktree checkout code
restore: disable overlay mode by default
restore: make pathspec mandatory
restore: take tree-ish from --source option instead
checkout: split part of it to new command 'restore'
doc: promote "git switch"
...
We have many GIT_TEST_* variables that accept a <boolean> because
they're implemented in C, and then some that take <non-empty?> because
they're implemented at least partially in shellscript.
Add a helper that wraps git_env_bool() and git_env_ulong() as the
first step in fixing this. This isn't being added as a test-tool mode
because some of these are used outside the test suite.
Part of what this tool does can be done via a trick with "git config"
added in 83d842dc8c ("tests: turn on network daemon tests by default",
2014-02-10) for test_tristate(), i.e.:
git -c magic.variable="$1" config --bool magic.variable 2>/dev/null
But as subsequent changes will show being able to pass along the
default value makes all the difference, and we'll be able to replace
test_tristate() itself with that.
The --type=bool option will be used by subsequent patches, but not
--type=ulong. I figured it was easy enough to add it & test for it so
I left it in so we'd have wrappers for both git_env_*() functions, and
to have a template to make it obvious how we'd add --type=int etc. if
it's needed in the future.

"git help git" was hard to discover (well, at least for some
people).
* po/git-help-on-git-itself:
Doc: git.txt: remove backticks from link and add git-scm.com/docs
git.c: show usage for accessing the git(1) help page
It is not immediately obvious how to use the `git help` system to show
the git(1) page, with its overview and its background and coordinating
material, such as environment variables.
Let's simply list it as the last few words of the last usage line.

"make check-docs", "git help -a", etc. did not account for cases
where a particular build may deliberately omit some subcommands,
which has been corrected.
* js/misc-doc-fixes:
Turn `git serve` into a test helper
test-tool: handle the `-C <directory>` option just like `git`
check-docs: do not bother checking for legacy scripts' documentation
docs: exclude documentation for commands that have been excluded
check-docs: allow command-list.txt to contain excluded commands
help -a: do not list commands that are excluded from the build
Makefile: drop the NO_INSTALL variable
remote-testgit: move it into the support directory for t5801
Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a
new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking
out paths path.
Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the
command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to
match the man page.
A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>':
- 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more
when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both
worktree and index).
- 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command
overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'.
- both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time
(from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This
overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>'
- default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and
HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as
with --source (*).
- when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be
specified since the default source for these two individual targets
are different (**)
- --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the
source, restoring means deleting the entry
(*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think
--from is a better name. The short option -f however is already
taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to
write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD.
(**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from
the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it
through when they type the commands.
