'git-bisect.sh' used to have a 'bisect_next_check' to check if we have
both good/bad, old/new terms set or not. In commit 129a6cf344
(bisect--helper: `bisect_next_check` shell function in C, 2019-01-02),
a subcommand for bisect--helper was introduced to port the check to C.
Since d1bbbe45df (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_run` shell
function in C, 2021-09-13), all users of 'bisect_next_check' was
re-implemented in C, this subcommand was no longer used but we forgot
to remove '--bisect-next-check'.
'git-bisect.sh' also used to have a 'bisect_write' function, whose
third positional parameter was a "nolog" flag. This flag was only used
when 'bisect_start' invoked 'bisect_write' to write the starting good
and bad revisions. Then 0f30233a11 (bisect--helper: `bisect_write`
shell function in C, 2019-01-02) ported it to C as a command mode of
'bisect--helper', which (incorrectly) added the '--no-log' option,
and convert the only place ('bisect_start') that call 'bisect_write'
with 'nolog' to 'git bisect--helper --bisect-write' with 'nolog'
instead of '--no-log', since 'bisect--helper' has command modes not
subcommands, all other command modes see and handle that option as well.
This bogus state didn't last long, however, because in the same patch
series 06f5608c14 (bisect--helper: `bisect_start` shell function
partially in C, 2019-01-02) the C reimplementation of bisect_start()
started calling the bisect_write() C function, this time with the
right 'nolog' function parameter. From then on there was no need for
the '--no-log' option in 'bisect--helper'. Eventually all bisect
subcommands were ported to C as 'bisect--helper' command modes, each
calling the bisect_write() C function instead, but when the
'--bisect-write' command mode was removed in 68efed8c8a
(bisect--helper: retire `--bisect-write` subcommand, 2021-02-03) it
forgot to remove that '--no-log' option.
'--no-log' option had never been used and it's unused now.
Let's remove --bisect-next-check and --no-log from option parsing.

When running 'read-tree' with a single tree and no prefix,
'prime_cache_tree()' is called after the tree is unpacked. In that
situation, skip a redundant call to 'cache_tree_update()' in
'unpack_trees()' by enabling the 'skip_cache_tree_update' unpack option.
Removing the redundant cache tree update provides a substantial performance
improvement to 'git read-tree <tree-ish>', as shown by a test added to
'p0006-read-tree-checkout.sh':
Test before after
----------------------------------------------------------------------
read-tree br_ballast_plus_1 3.94(1.80+1.57) 3.00(1.14+1.28) -23.9%
Note that the 'read-tree' in 't1022-read-tree-partial-clone.sh' is updated
to read two trees, rather than one. The test was first introduced in
d3da223f22 (cache-tree: prefetch in partial clone read-tree, 2021-07-23) to
exercise the 'cache_tree_update()' code path, as used in 'git merge'. Since
this patch drops the call to 'cache_tree_update()' in single-tree 'git
read-tree', change the test to use the two-tree variant so that
'cache_tree_update()' is called as intended.

When deleting a branch, "git branch -d" has a safety check that ensures
the branch is merged to its upstream (if any), or to HEAD. To do that,
naturally we try to resolve HEAD to a commit object. If we're on an
orphan branch (i.e., HEAD points to a branch that does not yet exist),
that will fail, and we'll bail with an error:
$ git branch -d to-delete
fatal: Couldn't look up commit object for HEAD
This usually isn't that big of a deal. The deletion would fail anyway,
since the branch isn't merged to HEAD, and you'd need to use "-D" (or
"-f"). And doing so skips the HEAD resolution, courtesy of 67affd5173
(git-branch -D: make it work even when on a yet-to-be-born branch,
2006-11-24).
But there are still two problems:
1. The error message isn't very helpful. We should give the usual "not
fully merged" message, which points the user at "branch -D". That
was a problem even back in 67affd5173.
2. Even without a HEAD, these days it's still possible for the
deletion to succeed. After 67affd5173, commit 99c419c915 (branch
-d: base the "already-merged" safety on the branch it merges with,
2009-12-29) made it OK to delete a branch if it is merged to its
upstream.
We can fix both by removing the die() in delete_branches() completely,
leaving head_rev NULL in this case. It's tempting to stop there, as it
appears at first glance that the rest of the code does the right thing
with a NULL. But sadly, it's not quite true.
We end up feeding the NULL to repo_is_descendant_of(). In the
traditional code path there, we call repo_in_merge_bases_many(). It
feeds the NULL to repo_parse_commit(), which is smart enough to return
an error, and we immediately return "no, it's not a descendant".
But there's an alternate code path: if we have a commit graph with
generation numbers, we end up in can_all_from_reach(), which does
eventually try to set a flag on the NULL commit and segfaults.
So instead, we'll teach the local branch_merged() helper to treat a NULL
as "not merged". This would be a little more elegant in in_merge_bases()
itself, but that function is called in a lot of places, and it's not
clear that quietly returning "not merged" is the right thing everywhere
(I'd expect in many cases, feeding a NULL is a sign of a bug).
There are four tests here:
a. The first one confirms that deletion succeeds with an orphaned HEAD
when the branch is merged to its upstream. This is case (2) above.
b. Same, but with commit graphs enabled. Even if it is merged to
upstream, we still check head_rev so that we can say "deleting
because it's merged to upstream, even though it's not merged to
HEAD". Without the second hunk in branch_merged(), this test would
segfault in can_all_from_reach().
c. The third one confirms that we correctly say "not merged to HEAD"
when we can't resolve HEAD, and reject the deletion.
d. Same, but with commit graphs enabled. Without the first hunk in
branch_merged(), this one would segfault.

can just stop clobbering it.
Ever since that code was added in a9f8a37584 (submodule: port

invocation in reset_hard() and read_empty() to remove the "verbose"
parameter.
Before 172b6428d0 (do not overwrite untracked during merge from
unborn branch, 2010-11-14) there was a "reset_hard()" function that
would be called in two places, one of those passed a "verbose=1", the
other a "verbose=0".
After 172b6428d0 when read_empty() was split off from reset_hard()
both of these functions only had one caller. The "verbose" in
read_empty() would always be false, and the one in reset_hard() would
always be true.
There was never a good reason for the code to act this way, it
happened because the read_empty() function was a copy/pasted and
adjusted version of reset_hard().
Since we're no longer conditionally adding the "-v" parameter
here (and we'd only add it for "reset_hard()" we'll be able to move to

There are situations where the user might not want the default
setting where patch-id strips all whitespace. They might be working
in a language where white space is syntactically important, or they
might have CI testing that enforces strict whitespace linting. In
these cases, a whitespace change would result in the patch
fundamentally changing, and thus deserving of a different id.
Add a new mode that is exclusive of --stable and --unstable called
--verbatim. It also corresponds to the config
patchid.verbatim = true. In this mode, the stable algorithm is
used and whitespace is not stripped from the patch text.
Users of --unstable mainly care about compatibility with old git
versions, which unstripping the whitespace would break. Thus there
isn't a usecase for the combination of --verbatim and --unstable,
and we don't expose this so as to not add maintainence burden.

"git patch-id" currently doesn't produce correct output if the
incoming diff has any binary files. Add logic to get_one_patchid
to handle the different possible styles of binary diff. This
attempts to keep resulting patch-ids identical to what would be
produced by the counterpart logic in diff.c, that is it produces
the id by hashing the a and b oids in succession.
In general we handle binary diffs by first caching the object ids from
the "index" line and using those if we then find an indication
that the diff is binary.
The input could contain patches generated with "git diff --binary". This
currently breaks the parse logic and results in multiple patch-ids
output for a single commit. Here we have to skip the contents of the
patch itself since those do not go into the patch id. --binary
implies --full-index so the object ids are always available.
When the diff is generated with --full-index there is no patch content
to skip over.
When a diff is generated without --full-index or --binary, it will
contain abbreviated object ids. This will still result in a sufficiently
unique patch-id when hashed, but does not match internal patch id
output. We'll call this ok for now as we already need specialized
arguments to diff in order to match internal patch id (namely -U3).

In addition to generating a shortlog based on committer, author, or the
identity in one or more specified trailers, it can be useful to generate
a shortlog based on an arbitrary commit format.
This can be used, for example, to generate a distribution of commit
activity over time, like so:
$ git shortlog --group='%cd' --date='format:%Y-%m' -s v2.37.0..
117 2022-06
274 2022-07
324 2022-08
263 2022-09

Arbitrary commit formats can be used. In fact, `git shortlog`'s default
behavior (to count by commit authors) can be emulated as follows:
$ git shortlog --group='%aN <%aE>' ...
and future patches will make the default behavior (as well as
`--committer`, and `--group=trailer:<trailer>`) special cases of the
more flexible `--group` option.
Note also that the SHORTLOG_GROUP_FORMAT enum value is used only to
designate that `--group:<format>` is in use when in stdin mode to

When pruning objects with `--cruft`, `git repack` offers some
flexibility when selecting the set of which objects are pruned via the
`--cruft-expiration` option.
This is useful for expiring objects which are older than the grace
period, making races where to-be-pruned objects become reachable and
then ancestors of freshly pushed objects, leaving the repository in a
corrupt state after pruning substantially less likely [1].
But in practice, such races are impossible to avoid entirely, no matter
how long the grace period is. To prevent this race, it is often
advisable to temporarily put a repository into a read-only state. But in
practice, this is not always practical, and so some middle ground would
be nice.
This patch introduces a new option, `--expire-to`, which teaches `git
repack` to write an additional cruft pack containing just the objects
which were pruned from the repository. The caller can specify a
directory outside of the current repository as the destination for this
second cruft pack.
This makes it possible to prune objects from a repository, while still
holding onto a supplemental copy of them outside of the original
repository. Having this copy on-disk makes it substantially easier to
recover objects when the aforementioned race is encountered.
`--expire-to` is implemented in a somewhat convoluted manner, which is
to take advantage of the fact that the first time `write_cruft_pack()`
is called, it adds the name of the cruft pack to the `names` string
list. That means the second time we call `write_cruft_pack()`, objects
in the previously-written cruft pack will be excluded.
As long as the caller ensures that no objects are expired during the
second pass, this is sufficient to generate a cruft pack containing all
objects which don't appear in any of the new packs written by `git
repack`, including the cruft pack. In other words, all of the objects
which are about to be pruned from the repository.
It is important to note that the destination in `--expire-to` does not
necessarily need to be a Git repository (though it can be) Notably, the
expired packs do not contain all ancestors of expired objects. So if the
source repository contains something like:
<unreachable>
/
C1 --- C2
\
refs/heads/master
where C2 is unreachable, but has a parent (C1) which is reachable, and
C2 would be pruned, then the expiry pack will contain only C2, not C1.

`builtin/repack.c`'s `write_cruft_pack()` is used to generate the cruft
pack when `--cruft` is supplied. It uses a static variable
"cruft_expiration" which is filled in by option parsing.
A future patch will add an `--expire-to` option which allows `git
repack` to write a cruft pack containing the pruned objects out to a
separate repository. In order to implement this functionality, some
callers will have to pass a value for `cruft_expiration` different than
the one filled out by option parsing.
Prepare for this by teaching `write_cruft_pack` to take a
"cruft_expiration" parameter, instead of reading a single static
variable.
The (sole) existing caller of `write_cruft_pack()` will pass the value

Add an option, --stdin, to merge-tree which will accept lines of input

This could be useful, for example, by Git hosting providers. When one

After we've successfully finished the repack, we call
remove_temporary_files(), which looks for and removes any files matching
".tmp-$$-pack-*", where $$ is the pid of the current process. But this
is pointless. If we make it this far in the process, we've already
renamed these tempfiles into place, and there is nothing left to delete.
Nor is there a point in trying to call it to clean up when we _aren't_
successful. It's not safe for using in a signal handler, and the
previous commit already handed that job over to the tempfile API.
It might seem like it would be useful to clean up stray .tmp files left
by other invocations of git-repack. But it won't clean those files; it
only matches ones with its pid, and leaves the rest. Fortunately, those
are cleaned up naturally by successive calls to git-repack; we'll
consider .tmp-*.pack the same as normal packfiles, so "repack -ad", etc,
will roll up their contents and eventually delete them.
The one case that could matter is if pack-objects generates an extension
we don't know about, like ".tmp-pack-$$-$hash.some-new-ext". The current
code will quietly delete such a file, while after this patch we'd leave
it in place. In practice this doesn't happen, and would be indicative of
a bug. Leaving the file as cruft is arguably a better behavior, as it
means somebody is more likely to eventually notice and fix the bug. If
we really wanted to be paranoid, we could scan for and warn about such
files, but that seems like overkill.
There's nothing to test with regard to the removal of this function. It
was doing nothing, so the behavior should be the same. However, we can
verify (and protect) our assumption that "repack -ad" will eventually
remove stray files by adding a test for that.

When git-repack exits due to a signal, it tries to clean up by calling
its remove_temporary_files() function, which walks through the packs dir
looking for ".tmp-$$-pack-*" files to delete (where "$$" is the pid of
the current process).
The biggest problem here is that remove_temporary_files() is not safe to
call in a signal handler. It uses opendir(), which isn't on the POSIX
async-signal-safe list. The details will be platform-specific, but a
likely issue is that it needs to allocate memory; if we receive a signal
while inside malloc(), etc, we'll conflict on the allocator lock and
deadlock with ourselves.
We can fix this by just cleaning up the files directly, without walking
the directory. We already know the complete list of .tmp-* files that
were generated, because we recorded them via populate_pack_exts(). When
we find files there, we can use register_tempfile() to record the
filenames. If we receive a signal, then the tempfile API will clean them
up for us, and it's async-safe and pretty battle-tested.
Note that this is slightly racier than the existing scheme. We don't
record the filenames until pack-objects tells us the hash over stdout.
So during the period between it generating the file and reporting the
hash, we'd fail to clean up. However, that period is very small. During
most of the pack generation process pack-objects is using its own
internal tempfiles. It's only at the very end that it moves them into
the names git-repack expects, and then it immediately reports the name
to us. Given that cleanup like this is best effort (after all, we may
get SIGKILL), this level of race is acceptable.
When we register the tempfiles, we'll record them locally and use the
result to call rename_tempfile(), rather than renaming by hand. This
isn't strictly necessary, as once we've renamed the files they're gone,
and the tempfile API's cleanup unlink() would simply become a pointless
noop. But managing the lifetimes of the tempfile objects is the cleanest
thing to do, and the tempfile pointers naturally fill the same role as
the old booleans.
This patch also fixes another small problem. We only hook signals, and
don't set up an atexit handler. So if we see an error that causes us to
die(), we'll leave the .tmp-* files in place. But since the tempfile API
handles this for us, this is now fixed for free. The new test covers
this by stimulating a failure of pack-objects when generating a cruft
pack. Before this patch, the .tmp-* file for the main pack would have
been left, but now we correctly clean it up.
Two small subtleties on the implementation:
- in the renaming loop, we can stop re-constructing fname_old; we only
use it when we have a tempfile to rename, so we can just ask the
tempfile for its path (which, barring bugs, should be identical)
- when renaming fails, our error message mentions fname_old. But since
a failed rename_tempfile() invalidates the tempfile struct, we'll
lose access to that string. Instead, let's mention the destination
filename, which is what most other callers do.

If pack-objects tells us it generated pack $hash, we expect to find
.tmp-$$-pack-$hash.pack, .idx, .rev, and so on. Some of these files are
optional, but others are not. For the required ones, we'll bail with an
error if any of them is missing.
The error message is just "missing required file", which is a bit vague.
We should be more clear that it is not the user's fault, but rather that
the sub-pgoram we called is not operating as expected. In practice,
nobody should ever see this message, as it would generally only be
caused by a bug in Git.
It probably doesn't make sense to convert this to a BUG(), though, as
there are other (unlikely) possibilities, such as somebody else racily
deleting the files, filesystem errors causing stat() to fail, and so on.
A nice side effect here is that we stop relying on fname_old in this
code path, which will let us deal with it only in the first part of the
conditional.

After generating the main pack and then any additional cruft packs, we
iterate over the "names" list (which contains hashes of packs generated
by pack-objects), and call populate_pack_exts() for each.
There's one small problem with this. In repack_promisor_objects(), we
may add entries to "names" and call populate_pack_exts() for them.
Calling it again is mostly just wasteful, as we'll stat() the filename
with each possible extension, get the same result, and just overwrite
our bits.
So we could drop the call there, and leave the final loop to populate
all of the bits. But instead, this patch does the reverse: drops the
final loop, and teaches the other two sites to populate the bits as they
add entries.
This makes the code easier to reason about, as you never have to worry
about when the util field is valid; it is always valid for each entry.
It also serves my ulterior purpose: recording the generated filenames as
soon as possible will make it easier for a future patch to use them for
cleaning up from a failed operation.

We keep a string_list "names" containing the hashes of packs generated
on our behalf by pack-objects. The util field of each item is treated as
a bitfield that tells us which extensions (.pack, .idx, .rev, etc) are
present for each name.
Let's switch this to allocating a real array. That will give us room in
a future patch to store more data than just a single bit per extension.
And it makes the code a little easier to read, as we avoid casting back
and forth between uintptr_t and a void pointer.
Since the only thing we're storing is an array, we could just allocate
it directly. But instead I've put it into a named struct here. That
further increases readability around the casts, and in particular helps
differentiate us from other string_lists in the same file which use
their util field differently. E.g., the existing_*_packs lists still do
bit-twiddling, but their bits have different meaning than the ones in
"names". This makes it hard to grep around the code to see how the util
fields are used; now you can look for "generated_pack_data".

`git repack` supports a `--pack-kept-objects` flag which more or less
translates to whether or not we pass `--honor-pack-keep` down to `git
pack-objects` when assembling a new pack.
This behavior has existed since ee34a2bead (repack: add
`repack.packKeptObjects` config var, 2014-03-03). In that commit, the
documentation was extended to say:
[...] Note that we still do not delete `.keep` packs after
`pack-objects` finishes.
Unfortunately, this is not the case when `--pack-kept-objects` is
combined with a `--geometric` repack. When doing a geometric repack, we
include `.keep` packs when enumerating available packs only when
`pack_kept_objects` is set.
So this all works fine when `--no-pack-kept-objects` (or similar) is
given. Kept packs are excluded from the geometric roll-up, so when we go
to delete redundant packs (with `-d`), no `.keep` packs appear "below
the split" in our geometric progression.
But when `--pack-kept-objects` is given, things can go awry. Namely,
when a kept pack is included in the list of packs tracked by the
`pack_geometry` struct *and* part of the pack roll-up, we will delete
the `.keep` pack when we shouldn't.
Note that this *doesn't* result in object corruption, since the `.keep`
pack's objects are still present in the new pack. But the `.keep` pack
itself is removed, which violates our promise from back in ee34a2bead.
But there's more. Because `repack` computes the geometric roll-up
independently from selecting which packs belong in a MIDX (with
`--write-midx`), this can lead to odd behavior. Consider when a `.keep`
pack appears below the geometric split (ie., its objects will be part of
the new pack we generate).
We'll write a MIDX containing the new pack along with the existing
`.keep` pack. But because the `.keep` pack appears below the geometric
split line, we'll (incorrectly) try to remove it. While this doesn't
corrupt the repository, it does cause us to remove the MIDX we just
wrote, since removing that pack would invalidate the new MIDX.
Funny enough, this behavior became far less noticeable after e4d0c11c04
(repack: respect kept objects with '--write-midx -b', 2021-12-20), which
made `pack_kept_objects` be enabled by default only when we were writing
a non-MIDX bitmap.
But e4d0c11c04 didn't resolve this bug, it just made it harder to notice
unless callers explicitly passed `--pack-kept-objects`.
The solution is to avoid trying to remove `.keep` packs during
`--geometric` repacks, even when they appear below the geometric split
line, which is the approach this patch implements.

When we write a MIDX bitmap after repacking, it is possible that the
repository would be left in a state with both pack- and multi-pack
reachability bitmaps.
This can occur, for instance, if a pack that was kept (either by having
a .keep file, or during a geometric repack in which it is not rolled up)
has a bitmap file, and the repack wrote a multi-pack index and bitmap.
When loading a reachability bitmap for the repository, the multi-pack
one is always preferred, so the pack-based one is redundant. Let's
remove it unconditionally, even if '-d' isn't passed, since there is no

between the reflog messages of the two backends without complaint.
As the merge backend is the default it is likely to be the format most
common in existing reflogs. For that reason the apply backend is changed
to format its reflog messages to match the merge backend as closely as
possible. Note that there is still a difference as when committing a
conflict resolution the apply backend will use "(pick)" rather than
"(continue)" because it is not currently possible to change the message
for a single commit.
In addition to c2417d3af7 we also changed the reflog messages in
68aa495b59 (rebase: implement --merge via the interactive machinery,
2018-12-11) and 2ac0d6273f (rebase: change the default backend from "am"
to "merge", 2020-02-15). This commit makes the same change to "git
rebase --apply" that 2ac0d6273f made to "git rebase" without any backend
specific options. As the messages are changed to use an existing format
any scripts that can parse the reflog messages of the default rebase
backend should be unaffected by this change.
There are existing tests for the messages from both backends which are
adjusted to ensure that they do not get out of sync in the future.

The reflog message for a conflict resolution committed by "rebase

rebase (continue): commit subject line
Unfortunately the reflog message each subsequent pick look like
rebase (continue) (pick): commit subject line
Fix this by setting the reflog message for "rebase --continue" in
sequencer_continue() so it does not affect subsequent commits. This
introduces a memory leak similar to the one leaking GIT_REFLOG_ACTION
in pick_commits(). Both of these will be fixed in a future series that
stops the sequencer calling setenv().
If we fail to commit the staged changes then we error out so
GIT_REFLOG_ACTION does not need to be reset in that case.

Use move_to_original_branch() when reattaching HEAD after a fast-forward
rather than open coding a copy of that code. move_to_original_branch()
does not call reset_head() if head_name is NULL but there should be no
user visible changes even though we currently call reset_head() in that
case. The reason for this is that the reset_head() call does not add a
message to the reflog because we're not changing the commit that HEAD
points to and so lock_ref_for_update() elides the update. When head_name
is not NULL then reset_head() behaves like "git symbolic-ref" and so the
reflog is updated.
Note that the removal of "strbuf_release(&msg)" is safe as there is an
identical call just above this hunk which can be seen by viewing the
diff with -U6.

The combination of --keep-base with an explicit --fork-point is still
supported even though --fork-point means we do not keep the same base
if the upstream branch has been rewound. We do this in case anyone is

Using a struct commit rather than a struct oid to hold orig_head means
that we error out straight away if the branch being rebased does not
point to a commit. It also simplifies the code that handles finding
the merge base and fork point as it no longer has to convert from an
oid to a commit.
To avoid changing the behavior of "git rebase <upstream> <branch>" we
keep the existing call to read_ref() and use lookup_commit_object()
on the oid returned by that rather than calling
lookup_commit_reference_by_name() which applies the ref dwim rules to
its argument.

When a "jobs = 0" is passed let's BUG() out rather than fall back on
online_cpus(). The default behavior was added when this API was
implemented in c553c72eed (run-command: add an asynchronous parallel
child processor, 2015-12-15).
Most of our code in-tree that scales up to "online_cpus()" by default
calls that function by itself. Keeping this default behavior just for
the sake of two callers means that we'd need to maintain this one spot
where we're second-guessing the config passed down into pp_init().
The preceding commit has an overview of the API callers that passed
"jobs = 0". There were only two of them (actually three, but they
resolved to these two config parsing codepaths).
The "fetch.parallel" caller already had a test for the
"fetch.parallel=0" case added in 0353c68818 (fetch: do not run a
redundant fetch from submodule, 2022-05-16), but there was no such

instead of int. Ever since c553c72eed (run-command: add an
asynchronous parallel child processor, 2015-12-15) they have
unconditionally returned 0.
To get a "real" return value out of this function the caller needs to
get it via the "task_finished_fn" callback, see the example in hook.c
added in 96e7225b31 (hook: add 'run' subcommand, 2021-12-22).
So the "result = " and "if (!result)" code added to "builtin/fetch.c"
d54dea77db (fetch: let --jobs=<n> parallelize --multiple, too,

testsuite, 2019-10-04) wasn't used, instead we got the return value
from the "if (suite.failed.nr > 0)" block seen in the context.

When downloading a list of bundles in "all" mode, Git has no
understanding of the dependencies between the bundles. Git attempts to
unbundle the bundles in some order, but some may not pass the
verify_bundle() step because of missing prerequisites. This is passed as
error messages to the user, even when they eventually succeed in later
attempts after their dependent bundles are unbundled.
Add a new VERIFY_BUNDLE_QUIET flag to verify_bundle() that avoids the
error messages from the missing prerequisite commits. The method still
returns the number of missing prerequisit commits, allowing callers to
unbundle() to notice that the bundle failed to apply.

Suppose you are managing many maintenance tracks in your project,
and some of the more recent ones are maint-2.36 and maint-2.37.
Further imagine that your project recently tagged the official 2.38
release, which means you would need to start maint-2.38 track soon,
by doing:
$ git checkout -b maint-2.38 v2.38.0^0
$ git branch --list 'maint-2.3[6-9]'
* maint-2.38
maint-2.36
maint-2.37
So far, so good. But it also is reasonable to want not to have to
worry about which maintenance track is the latest, by pointing a
more generic-sounding 'maint' branch at it, by doing:
$ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/maint refs/heads/maint-2.38
which would allow you to say "whichever it is, check out the latest
maintenance track", by doing:
$ git checkout maint
$ git branch --show-current
maint-2.38
It is arguably better to say that we are on 'maint-2.38' rather than
on 'maint', and "git merge/pull" would record "into maint-2.38" and
not "into maint", so I think what we have is a good behaviour.
One thing that is slightly irritating, however, is that I do not
think there is a good way (other than "cat .git/HEAD") to learn that
you checked out 'maint' to get into that state. Just like the output
of "git branch --show-current" shows above, "git symbolic-ref HEAD"
would report 'refs/heads/maint-2.38', bypassing the intermediate
symbolic ref at 'refs/heads/maint' that is pointed at by HEAD.
The internal resolve_ref() API already has the necessary support for
stopping after resolving a single level of a symbolic-ref, and we
can expose it by adding a "--[no-]recurse" option to the command.

When the repository does not yet have commits, some errors describe that
there is no branch:
$ git init -b first
$ git branch --edit-description first
error: No branch named 'first'.
$ git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream
fatal: branch 'first' does not exist
$ git branch -c second
error: refname refs/heads/first not found
fatal: Branch copy failed
That "first" branch is unborn but to say it doesn't exists is confusing.
Options "-c" (copy) and "-m" (rename) show the same error when the
origin branch doesn't exists:
$ git branch -c non-existent-branch second
error: refname refs/heads/non-existent-branch not found
fatal: Branch copy failed
$ git branch -m non-existent-branch second
error: refname refs/heads/non-existent-branch not found
fatal: Branch rename failed
Note that "--edit-description" without an explicit argument is already
considering the _empty repository_ circumstance in its error. Also note
that "-m" on the initial branch it is an allowed operation.
Make the error descriptions for those branch operations with unborn or
non-existent branches, more informative.
This is the result of the change:
$ git init -b first
$ git branch --edit-description first
error: No commit on branch 'first' yet.
$ git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream
fatal: No commit on branch 'first' yet.
$ git branch -c second
fatal: No commit on branch 'first' yet.
$ git branch [-c/-m] non-existent-branch second
fatal: No branch named 'non-existent-branch'.

The strvec "argv" is used to build a command for run_command_v_opt(),
but never freed. Use a constant string array instead, which doesn't
require any cleanup.

The callback function for --trailer writes directly to the global
trailer_args and ignores opt->value completely. This is OK, since that's
where we expect to find the value. But it does mean the option
declaration isn't as clear. E.g., we have:
OPT_BOOL(0, "reset-author", &renew_authorship, ...),
OPT_CALLBACK_F(0, "trailer", NULL, ..., opt_pass_trailer)
In the first one we can see where the result will be stored, but in the
second, we get only NULL, and you have to go read the callback.
Let's pass &trailer_args, and use it in the callback. As a bonus, this
silences a -Wunused-parameter warning.

We declare the --object-dir option like:
OPT_CALLBACK(0, "object-dir", &opts.object_dir, ...);
but the pointer to opts.object_dir is completely unused. Instead, the
callback writes directly to a global. Which fortunately happens to be
opts.object_dir. So everything works as expected, but it's unnecessarily
confusing.
Instead, let's have the callback write to the option value pointer that
has been passed in. This also quiets a -Wunused-parameter warning (since
we don't otherwise look at "opt").
