When using `git clone --recurse-submodules` there was previously no way to
pass a `--remote` switch to the implicit `git submodule update` command for
any use case where you want the submodules to be checked out on their
remote-tracking branch rather than with the SHA-1 recorded in the superproject.
This patch rectifies this situation. It actually passes `--no-fetch` to
`git submodule update` as well on the grounds they the submodule has only just
been cloned, so fetching from the remote again only serves to slow things down.

Attempt to use an abbreviated option in "git clone --recurs" is
responded by a request to disambiguate between --recursive and
--recurse-submodules, which is bad because these two are synonyms.
The parse-options API has been extended to define such synonyms
more easily and not produce an unnecessary failure.
* nd/parse-options-aliases:
parse-options: don't emit "ambiguous option" for aliases
During an initial "git clone --depth=..." partial clone, it is
pointless to spend cycles for a large portion of the connectivity
check that enumerates and skips promisor objects (which by
definition is all objects fetched from the other side). This has
been optimized out.

t/perf: add perf script for partial clones
clone: do faster object check for partial clones
Ever since the inception of this function in e6baf4a1ae (clone: clone
from a repository with relative alternates, 2011-08-22), the "dest"
parameter has been unused. Instead, we use add_to_alternates_file(),
which relies on git_pathdup() to find the right file. That in turn works
because we will have initialized and entered the destination repo by
this point.
It's a bit subtle, but this is how it has always worked. And if our
assumptions change, the test in t5601 from e6baf4a1ae should let us
know.
In the meantime, let's drop this unused and confusing parameter from
copy_alternates().

Change the option parsing machinery so that e.g. "clone --recurs ..."
doesn't error out because "clone" understands both "--recursive" and
"--recurse-submodules" to mean the same thing.
Initially "clone" just understood --recursive until the
--recurses-submodules alias was added in ccdd3da652 ("clone: Add the
--recurse-submodules option as alias for --recursive",
2010-11-04). Since bb62e0a99f ("clone: teach --recurse-submodules to
optionally take a pathspec", 2017-03-17) the longer form has been
promoted to the default.
But due to the way the options parsing machinery works this resulted
in the rather absurd situation of:
$ git clone --recurs [...]
error: ambiguous option: recurs (could be --recursive or --recurse-submodules)
Add OPT_ALIAS() to express this link between two or more options and use
it in git-clone. Multiple aliases of an option could be written as
OPT_ALIAS(0, "alias1", "original-name"),
OPT_ALIAS(0, "alias2", "original-name"),
...
The current implementation is not exactly optimal in this case. But we
can optimize it when it becomes a problem. So far we don't even have two
aliases of any option.

For partial clones, doing a full connectivity check is wasteful; we skip
promisor objects (which, for a partial clone, is all known objects), and
enumerating them all to exclude them from the connectivity check can
take a significant amount of time on large repos.
At most, we want to make sure that we get the objects referred to by any
wanted refs. For partial clones, just check that these objects were
transferred.

Commit 5e3548ef16 ("fetch: send server options when using protocol v2",
2018-04-24) taught "fetch" the ability to send server options when using
protocol v2, but not "clone". This ability is triggered by "-o" or
"--server-option".
Teach "clone" the same ability, except that because "clone" already
has "-o" for another parameter, teach "clone" only to receive
"--server-option".
Explain in the documentation, both for clone and for fetch, that server
handling of server options are server-specific. This is similar to
receive-pack's handling of push options - currently, they are just sent

Refspecs configured with "git -c var=val clone" did not propagate
to the resulting repository, which has been corrected.
* sg/clone-initial-fetch-configuration:
Documentation/clone: document ignored configuration variables
clone: respect additional configured fetch refspecs during initial fetch
clone: use a more appropriate variable name for the default refspec
The initial fetch during a clone doesn't transfer refs matching
additional fetch refspecs given on the command line as configuration
variables, e.g. '-c remote.origin.fetch=<refspec>'. This contradicts
the documentation stating that configuration variables specified via
'git clone -c <key>=<value> ...' "take effect immediately after the
repository is initialized, but before the remote history is fetched"
and the given example specifically mentions "adding additional fetch
refspecs to the origin remote". Furthermore, one-shot configuration
variables specified via 'git -c <key>=<value> clone ...', though not
written to the newly created repository's config file, live during the
lifetime of the 'clone' command, including the initial fetch. All
this implies that any fetch refspecs specified this way should already
be taken into account during the initial fetch.
The reason for this is that the initial fetch is not a fully fledged
'git fetch' but a bunch of direct calls into the fetch/transport
machinery with clone's own refs-to-refspec matching logic, which
bypasses parts of 'git fetch' processing configured fetch refspecs.
This logic only considers a single default refspec, potentially
influenced by options like '--single-branch' and '--mirror'. The
configured refspecs are, however, already read and parsed properly
when clone calls remote.c:remote_get(), but it never looks at the
parsed refspecs in the resulting 'struct remote'.
Modify clone to take the remote's configured fetch refspecs into
account to retrieve all matching refs during the initial fetch. Note
that we have to explicitly add the default fetch refspec to the
remote's refspecs, because at that point the remote only includes the
fetch refspecs specified on the command line.
Add tests to check that refspecs given both via 'git clone -c ...' and
'git -c ... clone' retrieve all refs matching either the default or
the additional refspecs, and that it works even when the user
specifies an alternative remote name via '--origin=<name>'.

Running "git clone" against a project that contain two files with
pathnames that differ only in cases on a case insensitive
filesystem would result in one of the files lost because the

* nd/clone-case-smashing-warning:
clone: report duplicate entries on case-insensitive filesystems
Paths that only differ in case work fine in a case-sensitive
filesystems, but if those repos are cloned in a case-insensitive one,
you'll get problems. The first thing to notice is "git status" will
never be clean with no indication what exactly is "dirty".
This patch helps the situation a bit by pointing out the problem at
clone time. Even though this patch talks about case sensitivity, the
patch makes no assumption about folding rules by the filesystem. It
simply observes that if an entry has been already checked out at clone
time when we're about to write a new path, some folding rules are
behind this.
In the case that we can't rely on filesystem (via inode number) to do
this check, fall back to fspathcmp() which is not perfect but should
not give false positives.
This patch is tested with vim-colorschemes and Sublime-Gitignore
repositories on a JFS partition with case insensitive support on
Linux.

"git fetch" sometimes failed to update the remote-tracking refs,
which has been corrected.
* jt/connectivity-check-after-unshallow:
fetch-pack: unify ref in and out param
The wire-protocol v2 relies on the client to send "ref prefixes" to
limit the bandwidth spent on the initial ref advertisement. "git
clone" when learned to speak v2 forgot to do so, which has been
corrected.
* bw/clone-ref-prefixes:
clone: send ref-prefixes when using protocol v2
When a user fetches:
- at least one up-to-date ref and at least one non-up-to-date ref,
- using HTTP with protocol v0 (or something else that uses the fetch
command of a remote helper)
some refs might not be updated after the fetch.
This bug was introduced in commit 989b8c4452 ("fetch-pack: put shallow
info in output parameter", 2018-06-28) which allowed transports to
report the refs that they have fetched in a new out-parameter
"fetched_refs". If they do so, transport_fetch_refs() makes this
information available to its caller.
Users of "fetched_refs" rely on the following 3 properties:
(1) it is the complete list of refs that was passed to
transport_fetch_refs(),
(2) it has shallow information (REF_STATUS_REJECT_SHALLOW set if
relevant), and
(3) it has updated OIDs if ref-in-want was used (introduced after
989b8c4452).
In an effort to satisfy (1), whenever transport_fetch_refs()
filters the refs sent to the transport, it re-adds the filtered refs to
whatever the transport supplies before returning it to the user.
However, the implementation in 989b8c4452 unconditionally re-adds the
filtered refs without checking if the transport refrained from reporting
anything in "fetched_refs" (which it is allowed to do), resulting in an
incomplete list, no longer satisfying (1).
An earlier effort to resolve this [1] solved the issue by readding the
filtered refs only if the transport did not refrain from reporting in
"fetched_refs", but after further discussion, it seems that the better
solution is to revert the API change that introduced "fetched_refs".
This API change was first suggested as part of a ref-in-want
implementation that allowed for ref patterns and, thus, there could be
drastic differences between the input refs and the refs actually fetched
[2]; we eventually decided to only allow exact ref names, but this API
change remained even though its necessity was decreased.
Therefore, revert this API change by reverting commit 989b8c4452, and
make receive_wanted_refs() update the OIDs in the sought array (like how
update_shallow() updates shallow information in the sought array)
instead. A test is also included to show that the user-visible bug
discussed at the beginning of this commit message no longer exists.

Once upon a time, git-clone would refuse to write into a
directory that it did not itself create. The cleanup
routines for a failed clone could therefore just remove the
git and worktree dirs completely.
In 55892d2398 (Allow cloning to an existing empty directory,
2009-01-11), we learned to write into an existing directory.
Which means that doing:
mkdir foo
git clone will-fail foo
ends up deleting foo. This isn't a huge catastrophe, since
by definition foo must be empty. But it's somewhat
confusing; we should leave the filesystem as we found it.
Because we know that the only directory we'll write into is
an empty one, we can handle this case by just passing the
KEEP_TOPLEVEL flag to our recursive delete (if we could
write into populated directories, we'd have to keep track of
what we wrote and what we did not, which would be much
harder).
Note that we need to handle the work-tree and git-dir
separately, though, as only one might exist (and the new
tests in t5600 cover all cases).

helper, which has a few advantages:
- it makes the purpose of the stat calls more obvious
- it makes it clear that we don't care about the
information in "buf" remaining valid
- if we later decide to make the check more robust (e.g.,
complaining about non-directories), we can do it in one
place
Note that we could just use file_exists() for this, which
has identical code. But we specifically care about
directories, so this future-proofs us against that function
later getting more picky about seeing actual files.
