This new option puts the objects specified by `<filter-spec>` into a
separate packfile.
This could be useful if, for example, some blobs take up a lot of
precious space on fast storage while they are rarely accessed. It could
make sense to move them into a separate cheaper, though slower, storage.
It's possible to find which new packfile contains the filtered out
objects using one of the following:
- `git verify-pack -v ...`,
- `test-tool find-pack ...`, which a previous commit added,
- `--filter-to=<dir>`, which a following commit will add to specify
where the pack containing the filtered out objects will be.
This feature is implemented by running `git pack-objects` twice in a
row. The first command is run with `--filter=<filter-spec>`, using the
specified filter. It packs objects while omitting the objects specified
by the filter. Then another `git pack-objects` command is launched using
`--stdin-packs`. We pass it all the previously existing packs into its
stdin, so that it will pack all the objects in the previously existing
packs. But we also pass into its stdin, the pack created by the previous
`git pack-objects --filter=<filter-spec>` command as well as the kept
packs, all prefixed with '^', so that the objects in these packs will be
omitted from the resulting pack. The result is that only the objects
filtered out by the first `git pack-objects` command are in the pack
resulting from the second `git pack-objects` command.
As the interactions with kept packs are a bit tricky, a few related
tests are added.

`git repack` is about to learn a new `--filter=<filter-spec>` option and
we will want to check that this option is incompatible with
`--write-bitmap-index`.
Unfortunately it appears that a test like:
test_expect_success '--filter fails with --write-bitmap-index' '
test_must_fail \
env GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX_WRITE_BITMAP=0 \
git -C bare.git repack -a -d --write-bitmap-index --filter=blob:none
'
sometimes fail because when rebuilding bitmaps, it appears that we are
reusing existing bitmap information. So instead of detecting that some
objects are missing and erroring out as it should, the
`git repack --write-bitmap-index --filter=...` command succeeds.
Let's fix that by making sure we rebuild bitmaps using new bitmaps
instead of existing ones.

9535ce7337 (pack-objects: add list-objects filtering, 2017-11-21)
taught `git pack-objects` to use `--filter`, but required the use of
`--stdout` since a partial clone mechanism was not yet in place to
handle missing objects. Since then, changes like 9e27beaa23
(promisor-remote: implement promisor_remote_get_direct(), 2019-06-25)
and others added support to dynamically fetch objects that were missing.
Even without a promisor remote, filtering out objects can also be useful
if we can put the filtered out objects in a separate pack, and in this
case it also makes sense for pack-objects to write the packfile directly
to an actual file rather than on stdout.
Remove the `--stdout` requirement when using `--filter`, so that in a
follow-up commit, repack can pass `--filter` to pack-objects to omit
certain objects from the resulting packfile.

We'll likewise fix up the matching ones from merge-recursive. We care a
bit less there, since the hope is that it will eventually go away. But
besides being the right thing to do in the meantime, it is necessary for
t6406 to pass both with and without GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM set (one of
our CI jobs sets it to "recursive", which will use the merge-recursive.c

To redact header lines in http/2 curl traces, we have to parse past some
prefix bytes that curl sticks in the info lines it passes to us. That
changed once already, and we adapted in db30130165 (http: handle both
"h2" and "h2h3" in curl info lines, 2023-06-17).
Now it has changed again, in curl's fbacb14c4 (http2: cleanup trace
messages, 2023-08-04), which was released in curl 8.3.0. Running a build
of git linked against that version will fail to redact the trace (and as
before, t5559 notices and complains).
The format here is a little more complicated than the other ones, as it
now includes a "stream id". This is not constant but is always numeric,
so we can easily parse past it.
We'll continue to match the old versions, of course, since we want to
work with many different versions of curl. We can't even select one
format at compile time, because the behavior depends on the runtime
version of curl we use, not the version we build against.

rather than doing it in the middle of a conditional.

The merge-ort code has an err() function, but it's really just error()
in disguise. It differs in two ways:
1. It takes a "struct merge_options" argument. But the function
completely ignores it! We can simply remove it.
2. It formats the error string into a strbuf, prepending "error: ",
and then feeds the result into error(). But this is wrong! The
error() function already adds the prefix, so we end up with:
error: error: Failed to execute internal merge
So let's just drop this function entirely and call error() directly, as
the functions are otherwise identical (note that they both always return
-1).
Presumably nobody noticed the bogus messages because they are quite hard
to trigger (they are mostly internal errors reading and writing
objects). However, one easy trigger is a custom merge driver which dies
by signal; we have a test already here, but we were not checking the
contents of stderr.

When generating the list of packs to store in a MIDX (when given the
`--write-midx` option), we include any cruft packs both during
--geometric and non-geometric repacks.
But the rules for when we do and don't have to check whether any of
those cruft packs were queued for deletion differ slightly between the
two cases.
But the two can be unified, provided there is a little bit of extra
detail added in the comment to clarify when it is safe to avoid checking
for any pending deletions (and why it is OK to do so even when not
required).

The `->util` field corresponding to each string_list_item is used to
track the existence of some pack at the beginning of a repack operation
was originally intended to be used as a bitfield.
This bitfield tracked:
- (1 << 0): whether or not the pack should be deleted
- (1 << 1): whether or not the pack is cruft
The previous commit removed the use of the second bit, but a future
patch (from a different series than this one) will introduce a new use
of it.
So we could stop treating the util pointer as a bitfield and instead
start treating it as if it were a boolean. But this would require some
backtracking when that later patch is applied.
Instead, let's avoid touching the ->util field directly, and instead
introduce convenience functions like:
- pack_mark_for_deletion()
- pack_is_marked_for_deletion()

When repacking with the `--write-midx` option, we invoke the function
`midx_included_packs()` in order to produce the list of packs we want to
include in the resulting MIDX.
This list is comprised of:
- existing .keep packs
- any pack(s) which were written earlier in the same process
- any unchanged packs when doing a `--geometric` repack
- any cruft packs
Prior to this patch, we stored pre-existing cruft and non-cruft packs
together (provided those packs are non-kept). This meant we needed an
additional bit to indicate which non-kept pack(s) were cruft versus
those that aren't.
But alternatively we can store cruft packs in a separate list, avoiding
the need for this extra bit, and simplifying the code below.

When there is:
- at least one pre-existing packfile (which is not marked as kept),
- repacking with the `-d` flag, and
- not doing a cruft repack
, then we pass a handful of additional options to the inner
`pack-objects` process, like `--unpack-unreachable`,
`--keep-unreachable`, and `--pack-loose-unreachable`, in addition to
marking any packs we just wrote for promisor remotes as kept in-core
(with `--keep-pack`, as opposed to the presence of a ".keep" file on
disk).
Because we store both cruft and non-cruft packs together in the same
`existing.non_kept_packs` list, it suffices to check its `nr` member to
see if it is zero or not.
But a following change will store cruft- and non-cruft packs separately,
meaning this check would break as a result. Prepare for this by
extracting this part of the check into a new helper function called
`has_existing_non_kept_packs()`.
This patch does not introduce any functional changes, but prepares us to
make a more isolated change in a subsequent patch.

To remove redundant packs at the end of a repacking operation, Git uses
its `remove_redundant_pack()` function in a loop over the set of
pre-existing, non-kept packs.
In a later commit, we will split this list into two, one for
pre-existing cruft pack(s), and another for non-cruft pack(s). Prepare
for this by factoring out the routine to loop over and delete redundant
packs into its own function.
Instead of calling `remove_redundant_pack()` directly, we now will call
`remove_redundant_existing_packs()`, which itself dispatches a call to
`remove_redundant_packs_1()`. Note that the geometric repacking code
will still call `remove_redundant_pack()` directly, but see the previous
commit for more details.
Having `remove_redundant_packs_1()` exist as a separate function may
seem like overkill in this patch. However, a later patch will call
`remove_redundant_packs_1()` once over two separate lists, so this
refactoring sets us up for that.
