64f3f5a3f6 tests: move copy/pasted PERL + Test::More checks to a lib-perl.sh
Since the original "perl -MTest::More" prerequisite check was added in
[1] it's been copy/pasted in [2], [3] and [4]. As we'll be changing
these codepaths in a subsequent commit let's consolidate these.

While we're at it let's move these to a lazy prereq, and make them
conform to our usual coding style (e.g. "\nthen", not "; then").

fee65b194d t/Makefile: don't remove test-results in "clean-except-prove-cache"
When "make test" is run with the default of "DEFAULT_TEST_TARGET=test"
we'll leave the "test-results" directory in-place, but don't do so for
the "prove" target.

The reason for this is that when 28d836c815 (test: allow running the
tests under "prove", 2010-10-14) allowed for running the tests under
"prove" there was no point in leaving the "test-results" in place.

The "prove" target provides its own summary, so we don't need to run
"aggregate-results", which is the reason we have "test-results" in the
first place. See 2d84e9fb6d (Modify test-lib.sh to output stats to
t/test-results/*, 2008-06-08).

But in a subsequent commit test-lib.sh will start emitting reports of
memory leaks in test-results/*, and it will be useful to analyze these
after the fact.

This wouldn't be a problem as failing tests will halt the removal of
the files (we'll never reach "clean-except-prove-cache" from the
"prove" target), but will be subsequently as we'll want to report a
successful run, but might still have e.g. logs of known memory leaks
in test-results/*.

So let's stop removing this, it's sufficient that "make clean" removes
it, and that "pre-clean" (which both "test" and "prove" depend on)
will remove it, i.e. we'll never have a stale "test-results" because
of this change.

Users may have configured "git merge" to always require GPG
signing the resulting commits. We are not running "git merge" to
re-create merge commits, but merely to replay merge conflicts,

f53156f2ee cocci: avoid normalization rules for memcpy
Some of the rules for using COPY_ARRAY instead of memcpy with sizeof are
intended to reduce the number of sizeof variants to deal with.  They can
have unintended side effects if only they match, but not the one for the
COPY_ARRAY conversion at the end.

Avoid these side effects by instead using a self-contained rule for each
combination of array and pointer for source and destination which lists
all sizeof variants inline.

This lets "make contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci.patch" take 15% longer on
my machine, but gives peace of mind that no incomplete transformation
will be generated.

06f5f8940c cocci: generalize "unused" rule to cover more than "strbuf"
Generalize the newly added "unused.cocci" rule to find more than just
"struct strbuf", let's have it find the same unused patterns for
"struct string_list", as well as other code that uses
similar-looking *_{release,clear,free}() and {release,clear,free}_*()
functions.

We're intentionally loose in accepting e.g. a "strbuf_init(&sb)"
followed by a "string_list_clear(&sb, 0)".  It's assumed that the
compiler will catch any such invalid code, i.e. that our
constructors/destructors don't take a "void *".

See [1] for example of code that would be covered by the
"get_worktrees()" part of this rule. We'd still need work that the
series is based on (we were passing "worktrees" to a function), but
could now do the change in [1] automatically.

4f40f6cb73 cocci: add and apply a rule to find "unused" strbufs
Add a coccinelle rule to remove "struct strbuf" initialization
followed by calling "strbuf_release()" function, without any uses of
the strbuf in the same function.

See the tests in contrib/coccinelle/tests/unused.{c,res} for what it's
intended to find and replace.

The inclusion of "contrib/scalar/scalar.c" is because "spatch" was
manually run on it (we don't usually run spatch on contrib).

Per the "buggy code" comment we also match a strbuf_init() before the
xmalloc(), but we're not seeking to be so strict as to make checks
that the compiler will catch for us redundant. Saying we'll match
either "init" or "xmalloc" lines makes the rule simpler.

f7ff6597a7 cocci: add a "coccicheck-test" target and test *.cocci rules
Add a "coccicheck-test" target to test our *.cocci rules, and as a
demonstration add tests for the rules added in 39ea59a257 (remove
unnecessary NULL check before free(3), 2016-10-08) and
1b83d1251e (coccinelle: add a rule to make "expression" code use
FREE_AND_NULL(), 2017-06-15).

I considered making use of the "spatch --test" option, and the choice
of a "tests" over a "t" directory is to make these tests compatible
with such a future change.

Unfortunately "spatch --test" doesn't return meaningful exit codes,
AFAICT you need to "grep" its output to see if the *.res is what you
expect. There's "--test-okfailed", but I didn't find a way to sensibly
integrate those (it relies on some in-between status files, but
doesn't help with the status codes).

Instead let's use a "--sp-file" pattern similar to the main
"coccicheck" rule, with the difference that we use and compare the
two *.res files with cmp(1).

The --very-quiet and --no-show-diff options ensure that we don't need
to pipe stdout and stderr somewhere. Unlike the "%.cocci.patch" rule
we're not using the diff.

The "cmp || git diff" is optimistically giving us better output on
failure, but even if we only have POSIX cmp and no system git
installed we'll still fail with the "cmp", just with an error message
that isn't as friendly. The "2>/dev/null" is in case we don't have a
"git" installed.

5b893f7d81 git-sh-setup.sh: remove "say" function, change last users
Remove the "say" function, with various rewrites of the remaining
git-*.sh code to C and the preceding change to have git-submodule.sh
stop using the GIT_QUIET variable there were only four uses in
git-subtree.sh. Let's have it use an "arg_quiet" variable instead, and
move the "say" function over to it.

The only other use was a trivial message in git-instaweb.sh, since it
has never supported the --quiet option (or similar) that code added in
0b624b4cee (instaweb: restart server if already running, 2009-11-22)
can simply use "echo" instead.

The remaining in-tree hits from "say" are all for the sibling function
defined in t/test-lib.sh. It's safe to remove this function since it
has never been documented in Documentation/git-sh-setup.txt.

85845580d9 vscode: improve tab size and wrapping
The contrib/vscode/init.sh script initializes the .vscode directory with
some helpful metadata so VS Code handles Git code better.

One big issue that VS Code has is detecting the tab width based on file
type. ".txt" files were not covered by this script before, so add them
with the appropriate tab widths. This prevents inserting spaces instead
of tabs and keeps the tab width to eight instead of four or two.

While we are here, remove the "editor.wordWrap" settings. The editor's
word wrap is only cosmetic: it does not actually insert newlines when
your typing goes over the column limit. This can make it appear like you
have properly wrapped code, but it is incorrect. Further, existing code
that is over the column limit is wrapped even if your editor window is
wider than the limit. This can make reading such code more difficult.
Without these lines, VS Code renders the lines accurately, without
"ghost" newlines.

9470605a1b git-prompt: make colourization consistent
The short upstream state indicator inherits the colour of the last short
state indicator before it (if there is one), and the sparsity state
indicator inherits this colour as well. This behaviour was introduced by
0ec7c23cdc (git-prompt: make upstream state indicator location
consistent, 2022-02-27), while before this change the aforementioned
indicators were white/the default text colour. Some examples to
illustrate this behaviour (assuming all indicators are enabled and
colourization is on):
 * If there is something in the stash, both the '$' and the short
   upstream state indicator following it will be blue.
 * If the local tree has new, untracked files and there is nothing in
   the stash, both the '%' and the short upstream state indicator
   will be red.
 * If all local changes are added to the index and the stash is empty,
   both the '+' and the short upstream state indicator following it will
   be green.
 * If the local tree is clean and there is nothing in the stash, the
   short upstream state indicator will be white/${default text colour}.

This appears to be an unintended side-effect of the change, and makes
little sense semantically (e.g. why is it bad to be in sync with
upstream when you have uncommitted local changes?). The cause of the
change in colourization is that previously, the short upstream state
indicator appeared immediately after the rebase/revert/bisect/merge
state indicator (note the position of $p in $gitstring):

	local f="$h$w$i$s$u"
	local gitstring="$c$b${f:+$z$f}${sparse}$r$p"

Said indicator is prepended with the clear colour code, and the short
upstream state indicator is thus also uncoloured. Now, the short
upstream state indicator follows the sequence of colourized indicators,
without any clearing of colour (again note the position of $p, now in
$f):

	local f="$h$w$i$s$u$p"
	local gitstring="$c$b${f:+$z$f}${sparse}$r${upstream}"

If the user is in a sparse checkout, the sparsity state indicator
follows a similar pattern to the short upstream state indicator.
However, clearing colour of the colourized indicators changes how the
sparsity state indicator is colourized, as it currently inherits (and
before the change referenced also inherited) the colour of the last
short state indicator before it. Reading the commit message of the
change that introduced the sparsity state indicator, afda36dbf3
(git-prompt: include sparsity state as well, 2020-06-21), it appears
this colourization also was unintended, so clearing the colour for said
indicator further increases consistency.

Make the colourization of these state indicators consistent by making
all colourized indicators clear their own colour. Make colouring of $c
dependent on it not being empty, as it is no longer being used to colour
the branch name. Move clearing of $b's prefix to before colourization so
it gets cleared properly when colour codes are inserted into it. These
changes make changing the layout of the prompt less prone to unintended
colour changes in the future.

Change coloured Bash prompt tests to reflect the colourization changes:
 * Move the colour codes to wrap the expected content of the expanded
   $__git_ps1_branch_name in all tests.
 * Insert a clear-colour code after the symbol for the first indicator
   in "prompt - bash color pc mode - dirty status indicator - dirty
   index and worktree", to reflect that all indicators should clear
   their own colour.

Over the course of Scalar's development, it became obvious that there is
a need for a command that can gather all kinds of useful information
that can help identify the most typical problems with large
worktrees/repositories.

The `diagnose` command is the culmination of this hard-won knowledge: it
gathers the installed hooks, the config, a couple statistics describing
the data shape, among other pieces of information, and then wraps
everything up in a tidy, neat `.zip` archive.

Note: originally, Scalar was implemented in C# using the .NET API, where
we had the luxury of a comprehensive standard library that includes
basic functionality such as writing a `.zip` file. In the C version, we
lack such a commodity. Rather than introducing a dependency on, say,
libzip, we slightly abuse Git's `archive` machinery: we write out a
`.zip` of the empty try, augmented by a couple files that are added via
the `--add-file*` options. We are careful trying not to modify the
current repository in any way lest the very circumstances that required
`scalar diagnose` to be run are changed by the `diagnose` run itself.

b44855743b scalar: validate the optional enlistment argument
The `scalar` command needs a Scalar enlistment for many subcommands, and
looks in the current directory for such an enlistment (traversing the
parent directories until it finds one).

These is subcommands can also be called with an optional argument
specifying the enlistment. Here, too, we traverse parent directories as
needed, until we find an enlistment.

However, if the specified directory does not even exist, or is not a
directory, we should stop right there, with an error message.

d06055501b fsmonitor--daemon: stub in health thread
Create another thread to watch over the daemon process and
automatically shut it down if necessary.

This commit creates the basic framework for a "health" thread
to monitor the daemon and/or the file system.  Later commits
will add platform-specific code to do the actual work.

The "health" thread is intended to monitor conditions that
would be difficult to track inside the IPC thread pool and/or
the file system listener threads.  For example, when there are
file system events outside of the watched worktree root or if
we want to have an idle-timeout auto-shutdown feature.

This commit creates the health thread itself, defines the thread-proc
and sets up the thread's event loop.  It integrates this new thread
into the existing IPC and Listener thread models.

This commit defines the API to the platform-specific code where all of
the monitoring will actually happen.

The platform-specific code for MacOS is just stubs.  Meaning that the
health thread will immediately exit on MacOS, but that is OK and
expected.  Future work can define MacOS-specific monitoring.

The platform-specific code for Windows sets up enough of the
WaitForMultipleObjects() machinery to watch for system and/or custom
events.  Currently, the set of wait handles only includes our custom
shutdown event (sent from our other theads).  Later commits in this
series will extend the set of wait handles to monitor other
conditions.

d33c804dae fsmonitor-settings: stub in Win32-specific incompatibility checking
Extend generic incompatibility checkout with platform-specific
mechanism.  Stub in Win32 version.

In the existing fsmonitor-settings code we have a way to mark
types of repos as incompatible with fsmonitor (whether via the
hook and IPC APIs).  For example, we do this for bare repos,
since there are no files to watch.

Extend this exclusion mechanism for platform-specific reasons.
This commit just creates the framework and adds a stub for Win32.

5ec7110822 cmake: remove (_)UNICODE def on Windows in CMakeLists.txt
`UNICODE` and `_UNICODE` are not required when building git on Windows.
Actually, they should not be predefined at all.

There're 2 evidences that `(_)UNICODE` is supposed to be nonexist:

compat/win32/trace2_win32_process_info.c:83: It uses jw_array_string
which accepts pe32.szExeFile as const char*.

t/helper/test-drop-caches.c:16: Calling to GetCurrentDirectory with

The autotools build system never defines `UNICODE` and `_UNICODE` and

As pcre2 doesn't provide cmake find module, we find it with pkgconf.
This patch also works with vcpkg on Windows, with pkgconf and pcre2

Pkgconf and pcre2 is detected automatically just like curl, expat

08bdd3a185 cocci: drop bogus xstrdup_or_null() rule
13092a91 (cocci: refactor common patterns to use xstrdup_or_null(),
2016-10-12) introduced a rule to rewrite this conditional call to
xstrdup(E) and an assignment to variable V:

    - if (E)
    -    V = xstrdup(E);

into an unconditional call to xstrdup_or_null(E) and an assignment
to variable V:

    + V = xstrdup_or_null(E);

which is utterly bogus.  The original code may already have an
acceptable value in V and the conditional assignment may be to
improve the value already in V with a copy of a better value E when
(and only when) E is not NULL.

The rewritten construct unconditionally discards the existing value
of V and replaces it with a copy of E, even when E is NULL, which
changes the meaning of the program.

By the way, if it were

	-if (E && !V)
	-	V = xstrdup(E);
	+V = xstrdup_or_null(E);

it would probably have been correct.  But there is no existing code
that would have been improved by such a rule, so let's just remove
the bogus one without replacing with the more specific one.

The externalConsole=true setting is broken for many users (launching the
debugger with such setting results in VS Code waiting forever without
actually starting the debugger). Also, this setting is a matter of user
preference, and is arguably better set in a "launch" section in the

use VS Code's default, or the user's setting.

'Documentation/git-reset.txt'. In 4c3abd0551 (reset: add new reset.quiet
config setting, 2018-10-23), 'reset.quiet' was introduced as a way to
globally change the default behavior of 'git reset --mixed' to skip index
refresh.

However, now that '--quiet' does not affect index refresh, 'reset.quiet'
would only serve to globally silence logging. This was not the original
intention of the config setting, and there's no precedent for such a setting
in other commands with a '--quiet' option, so it appears to be obsolete.

In addition to the options & its documentation, remove 'reset.quiet' from
the recommended config for 'scalar'.

51d2d67790 git-prompt: make long upstream state indicator consistent
Use a pipe as a separator before long upstream state indicator. This is
consistent with long state indicators for sparse and in-progress
operations (e.g. merge).

For comparison, `__git_ps1` examples without upstream state indicator:

(main *%)
(main|SPARSE)
(main %|SPARSE)
(main *%|SPARSE)
(main|SPARSE|REBASE 1/2)
(main %|SPARSE|REBASE 1/2)

Note that if there are long state indicators, they appear after short
state indicators if there are any, or after the branch name if there are
no short state indicators. Each long state indicator begins with a pipe
(`|`) as a separator.

Before/after examples with long upstream state indicator:

0ec7c23cdc git-prompt: make upstream state indicator location consistent
Make upstream state indicator location more consistent with similar
state indicators (e.g. sparse). Group the short upstream state indicator
(`=`, `<`, `>`, or `<>`) with other short state indicators immediately
after the branch name. Previously short and long upstream state
indicators appeared after all other state indicators.

Use a separator (`SP` or `GIT_PS1_STATESEPARATOR`) between branch name
and short upstream state indicator. Previously the short upstream state
indicator would sometimes appear directly adjacent to the branch name
instead of being separated.

For comparison, `__git_ps1` examples without upstream state indicator:
(main)
(main %)
(main *%)
(main|SPARSE)
(main %|SPARSE)
(main *%|SPARSE)
(main|SPARSE|REBASE 1/2)
(main %|SPARSE|REBASE 1/2)

Note that if there are short state indicators, they appear together
after the branch name and separated from it by `SP` or
`GIT_PS1_STATESEPARATOR`.

22184af2cb cocci: allow padding with strbuf_addf()
A convenient way to pad strings is to use something like
`strbuf_addf(&buf, "%20s", "Hello, world!")`.

However, the Coccinelle rule that forbids a format `"%s"` with a
constant string argument cast too wide a net, and also forbade such
padding.

The original rule was introduced by commit:

    28c23cd4c3 (strbuf.cocci: suggest strbuf_addbuf() to add one strbuf to an other, 2019-01-25)

841fd28ce2 completion: tab completion of filenames for 'git restore'
If no --args are present after 'git restore', it assumes that you
want to tab-complete one of the files with unstaged uncommitted
changes.

If a file has been staged, we don't want to list it, as restoring those
requires a slightly more complex `git restore --staged`, so we only list
those files that are --modified. While --committable also looks like
a good candidate, that includes changes that have been staged.

abf38abec2 core.fsyncmethod: add writeout-only mode
This commit introduces the `core.fsyncMethod` configuration
knob, which can currently be set to `fsync` or `writeout-only`.

The new writeout-only mode attempts to tell the operating system to
flush its in-memory page cache to the storage hardware without issuing a
CACHE_FLUSH command to the storage controller.

Writeout-only fsync is significantly faster than a vanilla fsync on
common hardware, since data is written to a disk-side cache rather than
all the way to a durable medium. Later changes in this patch series will
take advantage of this primitive to implement batching of hardware
flushes.

When git_fsync is called with FSYNC_WRITEOUT_ONLY, it may fail and the
caller is expected to do an ordinary fsync as needed.

On Apple platforms, the fsync system call does not issue a CACHE_FLUSH
directive to the storage controller. This change updates fsync to do
fcntl(F_FULLFSYNC) to make fsync actually durable. We maintain parity
with existing behavior on Apple platforms by setting the default value
of the new core.fsyncMethod option.

a9fda017f4 Makefile: add "$(QUIET)" boilerplate to shared.mak
The $(QUIET) variables we define are largely duplicated between our
various Makefiles, let's define them in the new "shared.mak" instead.

Since we're not using the environment to pass these around we don't
need to export the "QUIET_GEN" and "QUIET_BUILT_IN" variables
anymore. The "QUIET_GEN" variable is used in "git-gui/Makefile" and
"gitweb/Makefile", but they've got their own definition for those. The
"QUIET_BUILT_IN" variable is only used in the top-level "Makefile". We
still need to export the "V" variable.

8df786d298 Makefiles: add "shared.mak", move ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" to it
We have various behavior that's shared across our Makefiles, or that
really should be (e.g. via defined templates). Let's create a
top-level "shared.mak" to house those sorts of things, and start by
adding the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag to it.

See my own 7b76d6bf22 (Makefile: add and use the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR"
flag, 2021-06-29) and db10fc6c09 (doc: simplify Makefile using
.DELETE_ON_ERROR, 2021-05-21) for the addition and use of the
".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag.

I.e. this changes the behavior of existing rules in the altered
Makefiles (except "Makefile" & "Documentation/Makefile"). I'm
confident that this is safe having read the relevant rules in those
Makfiles, and as the GNU make manual notes that it isn't the default
behavior is out of an abundance of backwards compatibility
caution. From edition 0.75 of its manual, covering GNU make 4.3:

    [Enabling '.DELETE_ON_ERROR' is] almost always what you want
    'make' to do, but it is not historical practice; so for
    compatibility, you must explicitly request it.

This doesn't introduce a bug by e.g. having this
".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag only apply to this new shared.mak, Makefiles
have no such scoping semantics.

It does increase the danger that any Makefile without an explicit "The
default target of this Makefile is..." snippet to define the default
target as "all" could have its default rule changed if our new
shared.mak ever defines a "real" rule. In subsequent commits we'll be
careful not to do that, and such breakage would be obvious e.g. in the
case of "make -C t".

We might want to make that less fragile still (e.g. by using
".DEFAULT_GOAL" as noted in the preceding commit), but for now let's
simply include "shared.mak" without adding that boilerplate to all the
Makefiles that don't have it already. Most of those are already
exposed to that potential caveat e.g. due to including "config.mak*".

2587df669b rerere-train: two fixes to the use of "git show -s"
The script uses "git show -s" to display the title of the merge
commit being studied, without explicitly disabling the pager, which
is not a safe thing to do in a script.

For example, when the pager is set to "less" with "-SF" options (-S
tells the pager not to fold lines but allow horizontal scrolling to
show the overly long lines, -F tells the pager not to wait if the
output in its entirety is shown on a single page), and the title of
the merge commit is longer than the width of the terminal, the pager
will wait until the end-user tells it to quit after showing the
single line.

Explicitly disable the pager with this "git show" invocation to fix
this.

The command uses the "--pretty=format:..." format, which adds LF in
between each pair of commits it outputs, which means that the label
for the merge being learned from will be followed by the next
message on the same line.  "--pretty=tformat:..." is what we should
instead, which adds LF after each commit, or a more modern way to
spell it, i.e. "--format=...".  This existing breakage becomes
easier to see, now we no longer use the pager.

48803821b1 completion: handle unusual characters for sparse-checkout
Update the __gitcomp_directories method to de-quote and handle unusual
characters in directory names. Although this initially involved an attempt
to re-use the logic in __git_index_files, this method removed
subdirectories (e.g. folder1/0/ became folder1/), so instead new custom
logic was placed directly in the __gitcomp_directories method.

Note there are two tests for this new functionality - one for spaces and
accents and one for backslashes and tabs. The backslashes and tabs test
uses FUNNYNAMES to avoid running on Windows. This is because:

1. Backslashes are explicitly not allowed in Windows file paths.
2. Although tabs appear to be allowed when creating a file in a Windows
bash shell, they actually are not renderable (and appear as empty boxes
in the shell).

fd6d9bec14 completion: address sparse-checkout issues
Correct multiple issues with tab completion of the git sparse-checkout
command. These issues were:

1. git sparse-checkout <TAB> previously resulted in an incomplete list of
subcommands (it was missing reapply and add).
2. Subcommand options were not tab-completable.
3. git sparse-checkout set <TAB> and git sparse-checkout add <TAB> showed
both file names and directory names. While this may be a less surprising
behavior for non-cone mode, cone mode sparse checkouts should complete
only directory names.

Note that while the new strategy of just using git ls-tree to complete on
directory names is simple and a step in the right direction, it does have
some caveats. These are:

1. Likelihood of poor performance in large monorepos (as a result of
recursively completing directory names).
2. Inability to handle paths containing unusual characters.

These caveats will be fixed by subsequent commits in this series.

c099f579b9 (completion: add GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL env var,

This will include plumbing commands such as "cat-file" in "git <TAB>"

completion with git <TAB>, respectively.

It was already possible to do this by tweaking
GIT_TESTING_PORCELAIN_COMMAND_LIST= from the outside, that testing
variable was added in 84a9713106 (completion: let git provide the

git-completion.bash worked:

    export GIT_TESTING_PORCELAIN_COMMAND_LIST="$(git --list-cmds=builtins,main,list-mainporcelain,others,nohelpers,alias,list-complete,config)"

But such testing variables are not meant to be used from the outside,
and we make no guarantees that those internal won't change. So let's
expose this as a dedicated configuration knob.

It would be better to teach --list-cmds=* a new category which would
include all of these groups, but that's a larger change that we can
leave for some other time.

2ae8eb5d71 scalar: accept -C and -c options before the subcommand
The `git` executable has these two very useful options:

-C <directory>:
	switch to the specified directory before performing any actions

-c <key>=<value>:
	temporarily configure this setting for the duration of the
	specified scalar subcommand

With this commit, we teach the `scalar` executable the same trick.

Note: It might look like a good idea to try to reuse the
`handle_options()` function in `git.c` instead of replicating only the
`-c`/`-C` part. However, that function is not only not in `libgit.a`, it
is also intricately entangled with the rest of the code in `git.c` that
is necessary e.g. to handle `--paginate`. Besides, no other option
handled by that `handle_options()` function is relevant to Scalar,
therefore the cost of refactoring vastly would outweigh the benefit.

05cd988dce wrapper: add a helper to generate numbers from a CSPRNG
There are many situations in which having access to a cryptographically
secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) is helpful.  In the
future, we'll encounter one of these when dealing with temporary files.
To make this possible, let's add a function which reads from a system
CSPRNG and returns some bytes.

We know that all systems will have such an interface.  A CSPRNG is
required for a secure TLS or SSH implementation and a Git implementation
which provided neither would be of little practical use.  In addition,
POSIX is set to standardize getentropy(2) in the next version, so in the
(potentially distant) future we can rely on that.

For systems which lack one of the other interfaces, we provide the
ability to use OpenSSL's CSPRNG.  OpenSSL is highly portable and
functions on practically every known OS, and we know it will have access
to some source of cryptographically secure randomness.  We also provide
support for the arc4random in libbsd for folks who would prefer to use
that.

Because this is a security sensitive interface, we take some
precautions.  We either succeed by filling the buffer completely as we
requested, or we fail.  We don't return partial data because the caller
will almost never find that to be a useful behavior.

Specify a makefile knob which users can use to specify one or more
suitable CSPRNGs, and turn the multiple string options into a set of
defines, since we cannot match on strings in the preprocessor.  We allow
multiple options to make the job of handling this in autoconf easier.

The order of options is important here.  On systems with arc4random,
which is most of the BSDs, we use that, since, except on MirBSD and
macOS, it uses ChaCha20, which is extremely fast, and sits entirely in
userspace, avoiding a system call.  We then prefer getrandom over
getentropy, because the former has been available longer on Linux, and
then OpenSSL. Finally, if none of those are available, we use
/dev/urandom, because most Unix-like operating systems provide that API.
We prefer options that don't involve device files when possible because
those work in some restricted environments where device files may not be
available.

Set the configuration variables appropriately for Linux and the BSDs,
including macOS, as well as Windows and NonStop.  We specifically only
consider versions which receive publicly available security support
here.  For the same reason, we don't specify getrandom(2) on Linux,
because CentOS 7 doesn't support it in glibc (although its kernel does)
and we don't want to resort to making syscalls.

Finally, add a test helper to allow this to be tested by hand and in
tests.  We don't add any tests, since invoking the CSPRNG is not likely
to produce interesting, reproducible results.

315a84f9aa (subtree: use commits before rejoins for splits, 2018-09-28)
changed the signature of check_parents from 'check_parents [REV...]'
to 'check_parents PARENTS_EXPR INDENT'. In other words the variable list
of parent revisions became a list embedded in a string. However it
neglected to unpack the list again before sending it to cache_miss,
leading to incorrect calls whenever more than one parent was present.
This is the case whenever a merge commit is processed, with the end
result being a loss of performance from unecessary rechecks.

The indent parameter was subsequently removed in e9525a8a02 (subtree:
have $indent actually affect indentation, 2021-04-27), but the argument
handling bug remained.

For consistency, take multiple arguments in check_parents,

Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected
and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a
contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when
the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last
command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command
which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within
loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

c576868eaf tests: fix broken &&-chains in $(...) command substitutions

the shortcoming that the magic does not work within `{...}` groups,
`(...)` subshells, `$(...)` substitutions, or within bodies of compound
statements, such as `if`, `for`, `while`, `case`, etc. `chainlint.sed`
partly fills in the gap by catching broken &&-chains in `(...)`
subshells, but bugs can still lurk behind broken &&-chains in the other
cases.

ddc35d833d scalar: implement the version command
The .NET version of Scalar has a `version` command. This was necessary
because it was versioned independently of Git.

Since Scalar is now tightly coupled with Git, it does not make sense for
them to show different versions. Therefore, it shows the same output as
`git version`. For backwards-compatibility with the .NET version,
`scalar version` prints to `stderr`, though (`git version` prints to
`stdout` instead).

d85ada7cbd scalar: implement the delete command
Delete an enlistment by first unregistering the repository and then
deleting the enlistment directory (usually the directory containing the
worktree `src/` directory).

On Windows, if the current directory is inside the enlistment's
directory, change to the parent of the enlistment directory, to allow us
to delete the enlistment (directories used by processes e.g. as current
working directories cannot be deleted on Windows).

Note: this subcommand is provided primarily for backwards-compatibility,
for existing Scalar uses. It is mostly just a shim for `git

The reason why those names differ? The background maintenance was first
implemented in Scalar, and when it was contributed as a patch series
implementing the `git maintenance` command, reviewers suggested better
names, those suggestions were accepted before the patches were

546f822d53 scalar: implement the clone subcommand
This implements Scalar's opinionated `clone` command: it tries to use a
partial clone and sets up a sparse checkout by default. In contrast to
`git clone`, `scalar clone` sets up the worktree in the `src/`
subdirectory, to encourage a separation between the source files and the
build output (which helps Git tremendously because it avoids untracked
files that have to be specifically ignored when refreshing the index).

Also, it registers the repository for regular, scheduled maintenance,
and configures a flurry of configuration settings based on the
experience and experiments of the Microsoft Windows and the Microsoft
Office development teams.

Note: since the `scalar clone` command is by far the most commonly
called `scalar` subcommand, we document it at the top of the manual
page.

Just like `scalar register` starts the scheduled background maintenance,
`scalar unregister` stops it. Note that we use `git maintenance start`
in `scalar register`, but we do not use `git maintenance stop` in
`scalar unregister`: this would stop maintenance for _all_ repositories,
not just for the one we want to unregister.

The `unregister` command also removes the corresponding entry from the
`[scalar]` section in the global Git config.

d0feac4e8c scalar: 'register' sets recommended config and starts maintenance
Let's start implementing the `register` command. With this commit,
recommended settings are configured upon `scalar register`, and Git's
background maintenance is started.

The recommended config settings may very well change in the future. For
example, once the built-in FSMonitor is available, we will want to
enable it upon `scalar register`. For that reason, we explicitly support
running `scalar register` in an already-registered enlistment.

9187659f9a scalar: create test infrastructure
To test the Scalar command, create a test script in contrib/scalar/t
that is executed as `make -C contrib/scalar test`. Since Scalar has no
meaningful capabilities yet, the only test is rather simple. We will add
more tests in subsequent commits that introduce corresponding, new
functionality.

Note: This test script is intended to test `scalar` only lightly, even
after all of the functionality is implemented.

A more comprehensive functional (or: integration) test suite can be
found at https://github.com/microsoft/scalar; It is used in the workflow
https://github.com/microsoft/git/blob/HEAD/.github/workflows/scalar-functional-tests.yml
in Microsoft's Git fork. This test suite performs end-to-end tests with
a real remote repository, and is run as part of the regular CI and PR
builds in that fork.

Since those tests require some functionality supported only by
Microsoft's Git fork ("GVFS protocol"), there is no intention to port
that fuller test suite to `contrib/scalar/`.

0a43fb2202 scalar: create a rudimentary executable
The idea of Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar), and before
that, of VFS for Git, has always been to prove that Git _can_ scale, and
to upstream whatever strategies have been demonstrated to help.

With this patch, we start the journey from that C# project to move what
is left to Git's own `contrib/` directory, reimplementing it in pure C,
with the intention to facilitate integrating the functionality into core
Git all while maintaining backwards-compatibility for existing Scalar
users (which will be much easier when both live in the same worktree).
It has always been the plan to contribute all of the proven strategies
back to core Git.

For example, while the virtual filesystem provided by VFS for Git helped
the team developing the Windows operating system to move onto Git, while
trying to upstream it we realized that it cannot be done: getting the
virtual filesystem to work (which we only managed to implement fully on
Windows, but not on, say, macOS or Linux), and the required server-side
support for the GVFS protocol, made this not quite feasible.

The Scalar project learned from that and tackled the problem with
different tactics: instead of pretending to Git that the working
directory is fully populated, it _specifically_ teaches Git about
partial clone (which is based on VFS for Git's cache server), about
sparse checkout (which VFS for Git tried to do transparently, in the
file system layer), and regularly runs maintenance tasks to keep the
repository in a healthy state.

With partial clone, sparse checkout and `git maintenance` having been
upstreamed, there is little left that `scalar.exe` does which `git.exe`
cannot do. One such thing is that `scalar clone <url>` will
automatically set up a partial, sparse clone, and configure
known-helpful settings from the start.

So let's bring this convenience into Git's tree.

The idea here is that you can (optionally) build Scalar via

	make -C contrib/scalar/

This will build the `scalar` executable and put it into the
contrib/scalar/ subdirectory.

The slightly awkward addition of the `contrib/scalar/*` bits to the
top-level `Makefile` are actually really required: we want to link to
`libgit.a`, which means that we will need to use the very same `CFLAGS`
and `LDFLAGS` as the rest of Git.

An early development version of this patch tried to replicate all the
conditional code in `contrib/scalar/Makefile` (e.g. `NO_POLL`) just like
`contrib/svn-fe/Makefile` used to do before it was retired. It turned
out to be quite the whack-a-mole game: the SHA-1-related flags, the
flags enabling/disabling `compat/poll/`, `compat/regex/`,
`compat/win32mmap.c` & friends depending on the current platform... To
put it mildly: it was a major mess.

Instead, this patch makes minimal changes to the top-level `Makefile` so
that the bits in `contrib/scalar/` can be compiled and linked, and
adds a `contrib/scalar/Makefile` that uses the top-level `Makefile` in a
most minimal way to do the actual compiling.

Note: With this commit, we only establish the infrastructure, no
Scalar functionality is implemented yet; We will do that incrementally
over the next few commits.

7bc341e21b git-compat-util: add a test balloon for C99 support
The C99 standard was released in January 1999, now 22 years ago.  It
provides a variety of useful features, including variadic arguments for
macros, declarations after statements, designated initializers, and a
wide variety of other useful features, many of which we already use.

We'd like to take advantage of these features, but we want to be
cautious.  As far as we know, all major compilers now support C99 or a
later C standard, such as C11 or C17.  POSIX has required C99 support as
a requirement for the 2001 revision, so we can safely assume any POSIX
system which we are interested in supporting has C99.

Even MSVC, long a holdout against modern C, now supports both C11 and
C17 with an appropriate update.  Moreover, even if people are using an
older version of MSVC on these systems, they will generally need some
implementation of the standard Unix utilities for the testsuite, and GNU
coreutils, the most common option, has required C99 since 2009.
Therefore, we can safely assume that a suitable version of GCC or clang
is available to users even if their version of MSVC is not sufficiently
capable.

Let's add a test balloon to git-compat-util.h to see if anyone is using
an older compiler.  We'll add a comment telling people how to enable
this functionality on GCC and Clang, even though modern versions of both
will automatically do the right thing, and ask people still experiencing
a problem to report that to us on the list.

Note that C89 compilers don't provide the __STDC_VERSION__ macro, so we
use a well-known hack of using "- 0".  On compilers with this macro, it
doesn't change the value, and on C89 compilers, the macro will be
replaced with nothing, and our value will be 0.

For sparse, we explicitly request the gnu99 style because we've
traditionally taken advantage of some GCC- and clang-specific extensions
when available and we'd like to retain the ability to do that.  sparse
also defaults to C89 without it, so things will fail for us if we don't.

Update the cmake configuration to require C11 for MSVC.  We do this
because this will make MSVC to use C11, since it does not explicitly
support C99.  We do this with a compiler options because setting the
C_STANDARD option does not work in our CI on MSVC and at the moment, we
don't want to require C11 for Unix compilers.

In the Makefile, don't set any compiler flags for the compiler itself,
since on some systems, such as FreeBSD, we actually need C11, and asking
for C99 causes things to fail to compile.  The error message should make
it obvious what's going wrong and allow a user to set the appropriate
option when building in the event they're using a Unix compiler that
doesn't support it by default.

4496526f80 xdiff: implement a zealous diff3, or "zdiff3"
"zdiff3" is identical to ordinary diff3 except that it allows compaction
of common lines on the two sides of history at the beginning or end of
the conflict hunk.  For example, the following diff3 conflict:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    <<<<<<
    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    ||||||
    5
    6
    ======
    A
    X
    C
    Y
    E
    >>>>>>
    7
    8
    9

has common lines 'A', 'C', and 'E' on the two sides.  With zdiff3, one
would instead get the following conflict:

    1
    2
    3
    4
    A
    <<<<<<
    B
    C
    D
    ||||||
    5
    6
    ======
    X
    C
    Y
    >>>>>>
    E
    7
    8
    9

Note that the common lines, 'A', and 'E' were moved outside the
conflict.  Unlike with the two-way conflicts from the 'merge'
conflictStyle, the zdiff3 conflict is NOT split into multiple conflict
regions to allow the common 'C' lines to be shown outside a conflict,
because zdiff3 shows the base version too and the base version cannot be
reasonably split.

Note also that the removing of lines common to the two sides might make
the remaining text inside the conflict region match the base text inside
the conflict region (for example, if the diff3 conflict had '5 6 E' on
the right side of the conflict, then the common line 'E' would be moved
outside and both the base and right side's remaining conflict text would
be the lines '5' and '6').  This has the potential to surprise users and
make them think there should not have been a conflict, but there
definitely was a conflict and it should remain.

46b0585286 completion: fix incorrect bash/zsh string equality check
In the basic `[`/`test` command, the string equality operator is a
single `=`. The `==` operator is only available in `[[`, which is a
bash-ism also supported by zsh.

This mix-up was causing the following completion error in zsh:
> __git_ls_files_helper:7: = not found

(That message refers to the extraneous symbol in `==` ← `=`).

This updates that comparison to use a single `=` inside the
basic `[ … ]` test conditional.

Although this fix is inconsistent with the other comparisons in this
file, which use `[[ … == … ]]`, and the two expressions are functionally
identical in this context, that approach was rejected due to a
preference for `[`.

Remove the sane_grep() shell function in git-sh-setup. The two reasons
for why it existed don't apply anymore:

1. It was added due to GNU grep supporting GREP_OPTIONS. See
   e1622bfcba (Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity,
   2009-11-23).

   Newer versions of GNU grep ignore that, but even on older versions
   its existence won't matter, none of these sane_grep() uses care
   about grep's output, they're merely using it to check if a string
   exists in a file or stream. We also don't care about the "LC_ALL=C"
   that "sane_grep" was using, these greps for fixed or ASCII strings
   will behave the same under any locale.

2. The SANE_TEXT_GREP added in 71b401032b (sane_grep: pass "-a" if
   grep accepts it, 2016-03-08) isn't needed either, none of these grep
   uses deal with binary data.

9865b6e6a4 *.[ch] *_INIT macros: use { 0 } for a "zero out" idiom
In C it isn't required to specify that all members of a struct are
zero'd out to 0, NULL or '\0', just providing a "{ 0 }" will
accomplish that.

Let's also change code that provided N zero'd fields to just
provide one, and change e.g. "{ NULL }" to "{ 0 }" for
consistency. I.e. even if the first member is a pointer let's use "0"
instead of "NULL". The point of using "0" consistently is to pick one,
and to not have the reader wonder why we're not using the same pattern
everywhere.

94b7f1563a Comment important codepaths regarding nuking untracked files/dirs
In the last few commits we focused on code in unpack-trees.c that
mistakenly removed untracked files or directories.  There may be more of
those, but in this commit we change our focus: callers of toplevel
commands that are expected to remove untracked files or directories.

As noted previously, we have toplevel commands that are expected to
delete untracked files such as 'read-tree --reset', 'reset --hard', and
'checkout --force'.  However, that does not mean that other highlevel
commands that happen to call these other commands thought about or
conveyed to users the possibility that untracked files could be removed.
Audit the code for such callsites, and add comments near existing
callsites to mention whether these are safe or not.

My auditing is somewhat incomplete, though; it skipped several cases:
  * git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh: is in the process of being
    deprecated/removed, so I won't leave a note that there are
    likely more bugs in that script.
  * contrib/git-new-workdir: why is the -f flag being used in a new
    empty directory??  It shouldn't hurt, but it seems useless.
  * git-p4.py: Don't see why -f is needed for a new dir (maybe it's
    not and is just superfluous), but I'm not at all familiar with
    the p4 stuff
  * git-archimport.perl: Don't care; arch is long since dead
  * git-cvs*.perl: Don't care; cvs is long since dead

Also, the reset --hard in builtin/worktree.c looks safe, due to only
running in an empty directory.

cfe853e66b hook-list.h: add a generated list of hooks, like config-list.h
Make githooks(5) the source of truth for what hooks git supports, and
punt out early on hooks we don't know about in find_hook(). This
ensures that the documentation and the C code's idea about existing
hooks doesn't diverge.

We still have Perl and Python code running its own hooks, but that'll
be addressed by Emily Shaffer's upcoming "git hook run" command.

This resolves a long-standing TODO item in bugreport.c of there being
no centralized listing of hooks, and fixes a bug with the bugreport
listing only knowing about 1/4 of the p4 hooks. It didn't know about
the recent "reference-transaction" hook either.

We could make the find_hook() function die() or BUG() out if the new
known_hook() returned 0, but let's make it return NULL just as it does
when it can't find a hook of a known type. Making it die() is overly
anal, and unlikely to be what we need in catching stupid typos in the
name of some new hook hardcoded in git.git's sources. By making this
be tolerant of unknown hook names, changes in a later series to make
"git hook run" run arbitrary user-configured hook names will be easier
to implement.

I have not been able to directly test the CMake change being made
here. Since 4c2c38e800 (ci: modification of main.yml to use cmake for
vs-build job, 2020-06-26) some of the Windows CI has a hard dependency
on CMake, this change works there, and is to my eyes an obviously
correct use of a pattern established in previous CMake changes,
namely:

 - 061c2240b1 (Introduce CMake support for configuring Git,
    2020-06-12)
 - 709df95b78 (help: move list_config_help to builtin/help,
    2020-04-16)
 - 976aaedca0 (msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual
   Studio solution, 2019-07-29)

The LC_ALL=C is needed because at least in my locale the dash ("-") is
ignored for the purposes of sorting, which results in a different
order. I'm not aware of anything in git that has a hard dependency on
the order, but e.g. the bugreport output would end up using whatever
locale was in effect when git was compiled.

a9bacccae5 help / completion: make "git help" do the hard work
The "help" builtin has been able to emit configuration variables since
e17ca92637 (completion: drop the hard coded list of config vars,
2018-05-26), but it hasn't produced exactly the format the completion
script wanted. Let's do that.

We got partway there in 2675ea1cc0 (completion: use 'sort -u' to
deduplicate config variable names, 2019-08-13) and
d9438873c4 (completion: deduplicate configuration sections,
2019-08-13), but after both we still needed some sorting,
de-duplicating and awk post-processing of the list.

We can instead simply do the relevant parsing ourselves (we were doing
most of it already), and call string_list_remove_duplicates() after
already sorting the list, so the caller doesn't need to invoke "sort
-u". The "--config-for-completion" output is the same as before after
being passed through "sort -u".

Then add a new "--config-sections-for-completion" option. Under that
output we'll emit config sections like "alias" (instead of "alias." in
the --config-for-completion output).

We need to be careful to leave the "--config-for-completion" option
compatible with users git, but are still running a shell with an older
git-completion.bash. If we e.g. changed the option name they'd see
messages about git-completion.bash being unable to find the
"--config-for-completion" option.

Such backwards compatibility isn't something we should bend over
backwards for, it's only helping users who:

 * Upgrade git
 * Are in an old shell
 * The git-completion.bash in that shell hasn't cached the old
   "--config-for-completion" output already.

But since it's easy in this case to retain compatibility, let's do it,
the older versions of git-completion.bash won't care that the input
they get doesn't change after a "sort -u".

While we're at it let's make "--config-for-completion" die if there's
anything left over in "argc", and do the same in the new
"--config-sections-for-completion" option.

be6444d1ca completion: bash: add correct suffix in variables
__gitcomp automatically adds a suffix, but __gitcomp_nl and others
don't, we need to specify a space by default.

Can be tested with:

  git config branch.autoSetupMe<tab>

This fix only works for versions of bash greater than 4.0, before that
"local sfx" creates an empty string, therefore the unset expansion
doesn't work. The same happens in zsh.

Therefore we don't add the test for that for now.

The correct fix for all shells requires semantic changes in __gitcomp,
but that can be done later.

50101b93ca cmake(windows): set correct path to the system Git config
Currently, when Git for Windows is built with CMake, the system Git config is
expected in a different location than when building via `make`: the former
expects it to be in `<runtime-prefix>/mingw64/etc/gitconfig`, the latter in
`<runtime-prefix>/etc/gitconfig`.

Because of this, things like `git clone` do not work correctly (because cURL is
no longer able to find its certificate bundle that it needs to validate HTTPS
certificates). See the full bug report and discussion here:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3071#issuecomment-789261386.

This commit aligns the CMake-based build by mimicking what is already done in
`config.mak.uname`.

f7ee88f1d0 subtree: fix the GIT_EXEC_PATH sanity check to work on Windows
In 22d5507493 (subtree: don't fuss with PATH, 2021-04-27), `git
subtree` was broken thoroughly on Windows.

The reason is that it assumes Unix semantics, where `PATH` is
colon-separated, and it assumes that `$GIT_EXEC_PATH:` is a verbatim
prefix of `$PATH`. Neither are true, the latter in particular because
`GIT_EXEC_PATH` is a Windows-style path, while `PATH` is a Unix-style
path list.

Let's make extra certain that `$GIT_EXEC_PATH` and the first component
of `$PATH` refer to different entities before erroring out.

We do that by using the `test <path1> -ef <path2>` command that verifies
that the inode of `<path1>` and of `<path2>` is the same.

Sadly, this construct is non-portable, according to
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/test.html.
However, it does not matter in practice because we still first look
whether `$GIT_EXEC_PREFIX` is string-identical to the first component of
`$PATH`. This will give us the expected result everywhere but in Git for
Windows, and Git for Windows' own Bash _does_ handle the `-ef` operator.

Just in case that we _do_ need to show the error message _and_ are
running in a shell that lacks support for `-ef`, we simply suppress the
error output for that part.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3260

409047a2b3 cmake: create compile_commands.json by default
Some users have expressed interest in a more "batteries included" way of
building via CMake[1], and a big part of that is providing easier access
to tooling external tools.

A straightforward way to accomplish this is to make it as simple as
possible is to enable the generation of the compile_commands.json file,
which is supported by many tools such as: clang-tidy, clang-format,
sourcetrail, etc.

This does come with a small run-time overhead during the configuration
step (~6 seconds on my machine):

    Time to configure with CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=TRUE

    real    1m9.840s
    user    0m0.031s
    sys     0m0.031s

    Time to configure with CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=FALSE

    real    1m3.195s
    user    0m0.015s
    sys     0m0.015s

This seems like a small enough price to pay to make the project more
accessible to newer users.  Additionally there are other large projects
like llvm [2] which has had this enabled by default for >6 years at the
time of this writing, and no real negative consequences that I can find
with my search-skills.

NOTE: That the compile_commands.json is currently produced only when
using the Ninja and Makefile generators.  See The CMake documentation[3]
for more info.

cd0a852981 cmake: add knob to disable vcpkg
When building on windows users have the option to use vcpkg to provide
the dependencies needed to compile.  Previously, this was used only when
using the Visual Studio generator which was not ideal because:

  - Not all users who want to use vcpkg use the Visual Studio
    generators.

  - Some versions of Visual Studio 2019 moved away from using the
    VS 2019  generator by default, making it impossible for Visual
    Studio to configure the project in the likely event that it couldn't
    find the dependencies.

  - Inexperienced users of CMake are very likely to get tripped up by
    the errors caused by a lack of vcpkg, making the above bullet point
    both annoying and hard to debug.

As such, let's make using vcpkg the default on windows.  Users who want
to avoid using vcpkg can disable it by passing -DNO_VCPKG=TRUE.

0b18023d00 contrib/completion: fix zsh completion regression from 59d85a2a05
A recent change to make git-completion.bash use $__git_cmd_idx
in more places broke a number of completions on zsh because it
modified __git_main but did not update __git_zsh_main.

Notably, completions for "add", "branch", "mv" and "push" were
broken as a result of this change.

In addition to the undefined variable usage, "git mv <tab>" also
prints the following error:

	__git_count_arguments:7: bad math expression:
	operand expected at `"1"'

	_git_mv:[:7: unknown condition: -gt

Remove the quotes around $__git_cmd_idx in __git_count_arguments
and set __git_cmd_idx=1 early in __git_zsh_main to fix the
regressions from 59d85a2a05.

This was tested on zsh 5.7.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin19.0).

[PATCH]: contrib/completion/git-completion.bash, there is a construct
where comment lines are placed between the command that is on
the upstream of a pipe and the command that is on the downstream
of a pipe in __git_complete_worktree_paths function.

Unfortunately, this script is also used by Zsh completion, but
Zsh mishandles this construct when "interactive_comments" option is not
set (by default it is off on macOS), resulting in a breakage:

$ git worktree remove [TAB]
$ git worktree remove __git_complete_worktree_paths:7: command not found: #

Move the comment, even though it explains what happens on the
downstream of the pipe and logically belongs where it is right
now, before the entire pipeline, to work around this problem.

cb6551447b subtree: allow --squash to be used with --rejoin
Besides being a genuinely useful thing to do, this also just makes sense
and harmonizes which flags may be used when.  `git subtree split
--rejoin` amounts to "automatically go ahead and do a `git subtree
merge` after doing the main `git subtree split`", so it's weird and
arbitrary that you can't pass `--squash` to `git subtree split --rejoin`
like you can `git subtree merge`.  It's weird that `git subtree split
--rejoin` inherits `git subtree merge`'s `--message` but not `--squash`.

Reconcile the situation by just having `split --rejoin` actually just
call `merge` internally (or call `add` instead, as appropriate), so it
can get access to the full `merge` behavior, including `--squash`.

6468784dd2 subtree: give the docs a once-over
Just went through the docs looking for anything inaccurate or that can
be improved.

In the '-h' text, in the man page synopsis, and in the man page
description: Normalize the ordering of the list of sub-commands: 'add',
'merge', 'split', 'pull', 'push'.  This allows us to kinda separate the
lower-level add/merge/split from the higher-level pull/push.

'-h' text:
 - correction: Indicate that split's arg is optional.
 - clarity: Emphasize that 'pull' takes the 'add'/'merge' flags.

man page:

 - correction: State that all subcommands take options (it seemed to
   indicate that only 'split' takes any options other than '-P').
 - correction: 'split' only guarantees that the results are identical if
   the flags are identical.
 - correction: The flag is named '--ignore-joins', not '--ignore-join'.
 - completeness: Clarify that 'push' always operates on HEAD, and that
   'split' operates on HEAD if no local commit is given.
 - clarity: In the description, when listing commands, repeat what their
   arguments are.  This way the reader doesn't need to flip back and
   forth between the command description and the synopsis and the full
   description to understand what's being said.
 - clarity: In the <variables> used to give command arguments, give
   slightly longer, descriptive names.  Like <local-commit> instead of
   just <commit>.
 - clarity: Emphasize that 'pull' takes the 'add'/'merge' flags.
 - style: In the synopsis, list options before the subcommand.  This
   makes things line up and be much more readable when shown
   non-monospace (such as in `make html`), and also more closely matches
   other man pages (like `git-submodule.txt`).
 - style: Use the correct syntax for indicating the options ([<options>]
   instead of [OPTIONS]).
 - style: In the synopsis, separate 'pull' and 'push' from the other
   lower-level commands.  I think this helps readability.
 - style: Code-quote things in prose that seem like they should be
   code-quoted, like '.gitmodules', flags, or full commands.
 - style: Minor wording improvements, like more consistent mood (many
   of the command descriptions start in the imperative mood and switch
   to the indicative mode by the end).  That sort of thing.
 - style: Capitalize "ID".
 - style: Remove the "This option is only valid for XXX command" remarks
   from each option, and instead rely on the section headings.
 - style: Since that line is getting edited anyway, switch "behaviour" to
   American "behavior".
 - style: Trim trailing whitespace.

e9525a8a02 subtree: have $indent actually affect indentation
Currently, the $indent variable is just used to track how deeply we're
nested, and the debug log is indented by things like

   debug "  foo"

That is: The indentation-level is hard-coded.  It used to be that the
code couldn't recurse, so the indentation level could be known
statically, so it made sense to just hard-code it in the
output. However, since 315a84f9aa ("subtree: use commits before rejoins
for splits", 2018-09-28), it can now recurse, and the debug log is
misleading.

So fix that.  Indent according to $indent.

534ff90dbd subtree: don't let debug and progress output clash
Currently, debug output (triggered by passing '-d') and progress output
stomp on each other.  The debug output is just streamed as lines to
stderr, and the progress output is sent to stderr as '%s\r'.  When
writing to a file, it is awkward to read and difficult to distinguish
between the debug output and a progress line.  When writing to a
terminal the debug lines hide progress lines.

So, when '-d' has been passed, spit out progress as 'progress: %s\n',
instead of as '%s\r', so that it can be detected, and so that the debug
lines don't overwrite the progress when written to a terminal.

In figuring out each thing's arguments in order to write those comments

it takes multiple 'revs', but it is in fact only ever passed a single

e4f8baa88a subtree: parse revs in individual cmd_ functions
The main argument parser goes ahead and tries to parse revs to make
things simpler for the sub-command implementations.  But, it includes
enough special cases for different sub-commands.  And it's difficult
having having to think about "is this info coming from an argument, or a
global variable?".  So the main argument parser's effort to make things
"simpler" ends up just making it more confusing and complicated.

Begone with the 'revs' global variable; parse 'rev=$(...)' as needed in
individual 'cmd_*' functions.

Begone with the 'default' global variable.  Its would-be value is
knowable just from which function we're in.

Begone with the 'ensure_single_rev' function.  Its functionality can be
achieved by passing '--verify' to 'git rev-parse'.

22d5507493 subtree: don't fuss with PATH
Scripts needing to fuss with with adding $(git --exec-prefix) PATH
before loading git-sh-setup is a thing of the past.  As far as I can
tell, it's been a thing of the past since since Git v1.2.0 (2006-02-12),
or more specifically, since 77cb17e940 (Exec git programs without using
PATH, 2006-01-10).  However, it stuck around in contrib scripts and in
third-party scripts for long enough that it wasn't unusual to see.

Originally `git subtree` didn't fuss with PATH, but when people
(including the original subtree author) had problems, because it was a
common thing to see, it seemed that having subtree fuss with PATH was a
reasonable solution.

Here is an abridged history of fussing with PATH in subtree:

  2987e6add3 (Add explicit path of git installation by 'git --exec-path', Gianluca Pacchiella, 2009-08-20)

    As pointed out by documentation, the correct use of 'git-sh-setup' is
    using $(git --exec-path) to avoid problems with not standard
    installations.

    -. git-sh-setup
    +. $(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup

  33aaa697a2 (Improve patch to use git --exec-path: add to PATH instead, Avery Pennarun, 2009-08-26)

    If you (like me) are using a modified git straight out of its source
    directory (ie. without installing), then --exec-path isn't actually correct.
    Add it to the PATH instead, so if it is correct, it'll work, but if it's
    not, we fall back to the previous behaviour.

    -. $(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup
    +PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH
    +. git-sh-setup

  9c632ea29c ((Hopefully) fix PATH setting for msysgit, Avery Pennarun, 2010-06-24)

    Reported by Evan Shaw.  The problem is that $(git --exec-path) includes a
    'git' binary which is incompatible with the one in /usr/bin; if you run it,
    it gives you an error about libiconv2.dll.

    +OPATH=$PATH
     PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH
     . git-sh-setup
    +PATH=$OPATH  # apparently needed for some versions of msysgit

  df2302d774 (Another fix for PATH and msysgit, Avery Pennarun, 2010-06-24)

    Evan Shaw tells me the previous fix didn't work.  Let's use this one
    instead, which he says does work.

    This fix is kind of wrong because it will run the "correct" git-sh-setup
    *after* the one in /usr/bin, if there is one, which could be weird if you
    have multiple versions of git installed.  But it works on my Linux and his
    msysgit, so it's obviously better than what we had before.

    -OPATH=$PATH
    -PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH
    +PATH=$PATH:$(git --exec-path)
     . git-sh-setup
    -PATH=$OPATH  # apparently needed for some versions of msysgit

First of all, I disagree with Gianluca's reading of the documentation:
 - I haven't gone back to read what the documentation said in 2009, but
   in my reading of the 2021 documentation is that it includes "$(git
   --exec-path)/" in the synopsis for illustrative purposes, not to say
   it's the proper way.
 - After being executed by `git`, the git exec path should be the very
   first entry in PATH, so it shouldn't matter.
 - None of the scripts that are part of git do it that way.

But secondly, the root reason for fussing with PATH seems to be that
Avery didn't know that he needs to set GIT_EXEC_PATH if he's going to
use git from the source directory without installing.

And finally, Evan's issue is clearly just a bug in msysgit.  I assume
that msysgit has since fixed the issue, and also msysgit has been
deprecated for 6 years now, so let's drop the workaround for it.

So, remove the line fussing with PATH.  However, since subtree *is* in
'contrib/' and it might get installed in funny ways by users
after-the-fact, add a sanity check to the top of the script, checking
that it is installed correctly.

a94f911072 subtree: use "$*" instead of "$@" as appropriate
"$*" is for when you want to concatenate the args together,
whitespace-separated; and "$@" is for when you want them to be separate
strings.

There are several places in subtree that erroneously use $@ when
concatenating args together into an error message.

For instance, if the args are argv[1]="dead" and argv[2]="beef", then
the line

    die "You must provide exactly one revision.  Got: '$@'"

surely intends to call 'die' with the argument

    argv[1]="You must provide exactly one revision.  Got: 'dead beef'"

however, because the line used $@ instead of $*, it will actually call
'die' with the arguments

    argv[1]="You must provide exactly one revision.  Got: 'dead"
    argv[2]="beef'"

This isn't a big deal, because 'die' concatenates its arguments together
anyway (using "$*").  But that doesn't change the fact that it was a
mistake to use $@ instead of $*, even though in the end $@ still ended
up doing the right thing.

in git.git, it's not necessary to keep around.  While it's technically
in contrib, with the standard 'git' packages for common systems
(including Arch Linux and macOS) including git-subtree, it seems
vanishingly likely to me that people are separately installing
git-subtree from git.git alongside an older 'git' install (although it
also seems vanishingly likely that people are still using >11 year old
git installs).

Not that there's much reason to remove it either, it's not much code,
and none of my changes depend on a newer git (to my knowledge, anyway;
I'm not actually testing against older git).  I just figure it's an easy
piece of fat to trim, in the journey to making the whole thing easier to
hack on.

"Ignore space change" is probably helpful when viewing this diff.

d2f0f81954 subtree: more consistent error propagation
Ensure that every $(subshell) that calls a function (as opposed to an
external executable) is followed by `|| exit $?`.  Similarly, ensure that
every `cmd | while read; do ... done` loop is followed by `|| exit $?`.

Both of those constructs mean that it can miss `die` calls, and keep
running when it shouldn't.

5a3569774f subtree: don't have loose code outside of a function
Shove all of the loose code inside of a main() function.

This comes down to personal preference more than anything else.  A
preference that I've developed over years of maintaining large Bash
scripts, but still a mere personal preference.

In this specific case, it's also moving the `set -- -h`, the `git
rev-parse --parseopt`, and the `. git-sh-setup` to be closer to all
the rest of the argument parsing, which is a readability win on its
own, IMO.

b04538d99f subtree: t7900: add porcelain tests for 'pull' and 'push'
The 'pull' and 'push' subcommands deserve their own sections in the tests.
Add some basic tests for them.

db6952b2b2 subtree: t7900: rename last_commit_message to last_commit_subject
t7900-subtree.sh defines a helper function named last_commit_message.
However, it only returns the subject line of the commit message, not the
entire commit message.  So rename it, to make the name less confusing.

f1cd2d93c2 subtree: t7900: fix 'verify one file change per commit'
As far as I can tell, this test isn't actually testing anything, because
someone forgot to tack on `--name-only` to `git log`.  This seems to
have been the case since the test was first written, back in fa16ab36ad
("test.sh: make sure no commit changes more than one file at a time.",
2009-04-26), unless `git log` used to do that by default and didn't need
the flag back then?

Convincing myself that it's not actually testing anything was tricky,
the code is a little hard to reason about.  It can be made a lot simpler
if instead of trying to parse all of the info from a single `git log`,
we're OK calling `git log` from inside of a loop.  And it's my opinion
that tests are not the place for clever optimized code.

So, fix and simplify the test, so that it's actually testing something
and is simpler to reason about.

c4566ab429 subtree: t7900: use 'test' for string equality
t7900-subtree.sh defines its own `check_equal A B` function, instead of
just using `test A = B` like all of the other tests.  Don't be special,
get rid of `check_equal` in favor of `test`.

40b1e1ec58 subtree: t7900: comment subtree_test_create_repo
It's unclear what the purpose of t7900-subtree.sh's
`subtree_test_create_repo` helper function is.  It wraps test-lib.sh's,
`test_create_repo` but follows that up by setting log.date=relative.  Why
does it set log.date=relative?

My first guess was that at one point the tests required that, but no
longer do, and that the function is now vestigial.  I even wrote a patch
to get rid of it and was moments away from `git send-email`ing it.

However, by chance when looking for something else in the history, I
discovered the true reason, from e7aac44ed2 (contrib/subtree: ignore
log.date configuration, 2015-07-21).  It's testing that setting
log.date=relative doesn't break `git subtree`, as at one point in the past
that did break `git subtree`.

So, add a comment about this, to avoid future such confusion.

And while at it, go ahead and (1) touch up the function to avoid a
pointless subshell and (2) update the one test that didn't use it.
