eea0e59ffb treewide: remove unnecessary includes in source files
Each of these were checked with
   gcc -E -I. ${SOURCE_FILE} | grep ${HEADER_FILE}
to ensure that removing the direct inclusion of the header actually
resulted in that header no longer being included at all (i.e. that
no other header pulled it in transitively).

...except for a few cases where we verified that although the header
was brought in transitively, nothing from it was directly used in
that source file.  These cases were:
  * builtin/credential-cache.c
  * builtin/pull.c
  * builtin/send-pack.c

5cc6b2d70b diff: drop useless "status" parameter from diff_result_code()
Many programs use diff_result_code() to get a user-visible program exit
code from a diff result (e.g., checking opts.found_changes if
--exit-code was requested).

This function also takes a "status" parameter, which seems at first
glance that it could be used to propagate an error encountered when
computing the diff. But it doesn't work that way:

  - negative values are passed through as-is, but are not appropriate as
    program exit codes

  - when --exit-code or --check is in effect, we _ignore_ the passed-in
    status completely. So a failed diff which did not have a chance to
    set opts.found_changes would erroneously report "success, no
    changes" instead of propagating the error.

After recent cleanups, neither of these bugs is possible to trigger, as
every caller just passes in "0". So rather than fixing them, we can
simply drop the useless parameter instead.

25bd3acd04 diff: drop useless return from run_diff_{files,index} functions
Neither of these functions ever returns a value other than zero.
Instead, they expect unrecoverable errors to exit immediately, and
things like "--exit-code" are stored inside the diff_options struct to
be handled later via diff_result_code().

Some callers do check the return values, but many don't bother. Let's
drop the useless return values, which are misleading callers about how
the functions work. This could be seen as a step in the wrong direction,
as we might want to eventually "lib-ify" these to more cleanly return
errors up the stack, in which case we'd have to add the return values
back in. But there are some benefits to doing this now:

  1. In the current code, somebody could accidentally add a "return -1"
     to one of the functions, which would be erroneously ignored by many
     callers. By removing the return code, the compiler can notice the
     mismatch and force the developer to decide what to do.

     Obviously the other option here is that we could start consistently
     checking the error code in every caller. But it would be dead code,
     and we wouldn't get any compile-time help in catching new cases.

  2. It communicates the situation to callers, who may want to choose a
     different function. These functions are really thin wrappers for
     doing git-diff-files and git-diff-index within the process. But
     callers who care about recovering from an error here are probably
     better off using the underlying library functions, many of
     which do return errors.

If somebody eventually wants to teach these functions to propagate
errors, they'll have to switch back to returning a value, effectively
reverting this patch. But at least then they will be starting with a
level playing field: they know that they will need to inspect each
caller to see how it should handle the error.

f126f6ec22 diff-files: avoid negative exit value
If loading the index fails, we print an error and then return "-1" from
the function. But since this is a builtin, we end up with exit(-1),
which produces odd results since program exit codes are unsigned.
Because of integer conversion, it usually becomes 255, which is at least
still an error, but values above 128 are usually interpreted as signal
death.

Since we know the program is exiting immediately, we can just replace
the error return with a die().

8c30be9176 diff-files: integrate with sparse index
Remove full index requirement for `git diff-files`. Refactor the
ensure_expanded and ensure_not_expanded functions by introducing a

07047d6829 cocci: apply "pending" index-compatibility to some "builtin/*.c"
Apply "index-compatibility.pending.cocci" rule to "builtin/*", but
exclude those where we conflict with in-flight changes.

As a result some of them end up using only "the_index", so let's have
them use the more narrow "USE_THE_INDEX_VARIABLE" rather than
"USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS".

Manual changes not made by coccinelle, that were squashed in:

* Whitespace-wrap argument lists for repo_hold_locked_index(),
  repo_read_index_preload() and repo_refresh_and_write_index(), in cases
  where the line became too long after the transformation.
* Change "refresh_cache()" to "refresh_index()" in a comment in
  "builtin/update-index.c".
* For those whose call was followed by perror("<macro-name>"), change
  it to perror("<function-name>"), referring to the new function.

acf7828e38 built-ins: consistently add "\n" between "usage" and options
Change commands in the "diff" family and "rev-list" to separate the
usage information and option listing with an empty line.

In the case of "git diff -h" we did this already (but let's use a
consistent "\n" pattern there), for the rest these are now consistent
with how the parse_options() API would emit usage.

As we'll see in a subsequent commit this also helps to make the "git
<cmd> -h" output more easily machine-readable, as we can assume that
the usage information is separated from the options by an empty line.

Note that "COMMON_DIFF_OPTIONS_HELP" starts with a "\n", so the
seeming omission of a "\n" here is correct, the second one is provided
by the macro.

04393ae7f7 diff-files: move misplaced cleanup label
Commit 0139c58ab9 (revisions API users: add "goto cleanup" for
release_revisions(), 2022-04-13) converted an early return in
cmd_diff_files() into a goto. But it put the cleanup label too early: if
read_cache_preload() returns an error, we'll set result to "-1", but
then jump to calling run_diff_files(), overwriting our result.

We should jump past the call to run_diff_files(). Likewise, we should go
past diff_result_code(), which is expecting to see a code from an actual
diff, not a negative error code.

In practice, I suspect this bug cannot actually be triggered, because
read_cache_preload() does not seem to ever return an error. Its return
value (eventually) comes from do_read_index(), which gives the number of
cache entries found, and calls die() on error. Still, it makes sense to
fix the inadvertent change from 0139c58ab9 first, and we can look into
the overall error handling of read_cache() separately (which is present
in many other callsites).

1eb4136ac2 diff: --{rotate,skip}-to=<path>
In the implementation of "git difftool", there is a case where the
user wants to start viewing the diffs at a specific path and
continue on to the rest, optionally wrapping around to the
beginning.  Since it is somewhat cumbersome to implement such a
feature as a post-processing step of "git diff" output, let's
support it internally with two new options.

 - "git diff --rotate-to=C", when the resulting patch would show
   paths A B C D E without the option, would "rotate" the paths to
   shows patch to C D E A B instead.  It is an error when there is
   no patch for C is shown.

 - "git diff --skip-to=C" would instead "skip" the paths before C,
   and shows patch to C D E.  Again, it is an error when there is no
   patch for C is shown.

 - "git log [-p]" also accepts these two options, but it is not an
   error if there is no change to the specified path.  Instead, the
   set of output paths are rotated or skipped to the specified path
   or the first path that sorts after the specified path.

8b25dee615 Merge branch 'tb/precompose-prefix-too'
When commands are started from a subdirectory, they may have to
compare the path to the subdirectory (called prefix and found out
from $(pwd)) with the tracked paths.  On macOS, $(pwd) and
readdir() yield decomposed path, while the tracked paths are
usually normalized to the precomposed form, causing mismatch.  This
has been fixed by taking the same approach used to normalize the
command line arguments.

5c327502db MacOS: precompose_argv_prefix()
The following sequence leads to a "BUG" assertion running under MacOS:

  DIR=git-test-restore-p
  Adiarnfd=$(printf 'A\314\210')
  DIRNAME=xx${Adiarnfd}yy
  mkdir $DIR &&
  cd $DIR &&
  git init &&

 Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git-test-restore-p/.git/
 BUG: pathspec.c:495: error initializing pathspec_item
 Cannot close git diff-index --cached --numstat
 [snip]

The command `git restore` is run from a directory inside a Git repo.
Git needs to split the $CWD into 2 parts:
The path to the repo and "the rest", if any.
"The rest" becomes a "prefix" later used inside the pathspec code.

As an example, "/path/to/repo/dir-inside-repå" would determine
"/path/to/repo" as the root of the repo, the place where the
configuration file .git/config is found.

The rest becomes the prefix ("dir-inside-repå"), from where the
pathspec machinery expands the ".", more about this later.
If there is a decomposed form, (making the decomposing visible like this),
"dir-inside-rep°a" doesn't match "dir-inside-repå".

Git commands need to:

 (a) read the configuration variable "core.precomposeunicode"
 (b) precocompose argv[]
 (c) precompose the prefix, if there was any

The first commit,
76759c7dff "git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode"
addressed (a) and (b).

The call to precompose_argv() was added into parse-options.c,
because that seemed to be a good place when the patch was written.

Commands that don't use parse-options need to do (a) and (b) themselfs.

The commands `diff-files`, `diff-index`, `diff-tree` and `diff`
learned (a) and (b) in
commit 90a78b83e0 "diff: run arguments through precompose_argv"

Branch names (or refs in general) using decomposed code points
resulting in decomposed file names had been fixed in
commit 8e712ef6fc "Honor core.precomposeUnicode in more places"

The bug report from above shows 2 things:
- more commands need to handle precomposed unicode
- (c) should be implemented for all commands using pathspecs

Solution:
precompose_argv() now handles the prefix (if needed), and is renamed into
precompose_argv_prefix().

Inside this function the config variable core.precomposeunicode is read
into the global variable precomposed_unicode, as before.
This reading is skipped if precomposed_unicode had been read before.

The original patch for preocomposed unicode, 76759c7dff, placed
precompose_argv() into parse-options.c

Now add it into git.c::run_builtin() as well.  Existing precompose
calls in diff-files.c and others may become redundant, and if we
audit the callflows that reach these places to make sure that they
can never be reached without going through the new call added to
run_builtin(), we might be able to remove these existing ones.

But in this commit, we do not bother to do so and leave these
precompose callsites as they are.  Because precompose() is
idempotent and can be called on an already precomposed string
safely, this is safer than removing existing calls without fully
vetting the callflows.

There is certainly room for cleanups - this change intends to be a bug fix.
Cleanups needs more tests in e.g. t/t3910-mac-os-precompose.sh, and should
be done in future commits.

5a88f97cff diff- and log- family: handle "git cmd -h" early
"git $builtin -h" bypasses the usual repository setup and calls the
cmd_$builtin() function, expecting it to show the help text.

Unfortunately the commands in the log- and the diff- family want to
call into the revisions machinery, which by definition needs to have
a repository already discovered.  Strictly speaking, they may not
need a repository only for parsing "-h", but it is a good discipline
to future-proof codepath to ensure that setup_revisions() is called
after we know that a repository is there.

Handle the "git $builtin -h" special case very early in these
commands to work around potential issues.

90a78b83e0 diff: run arguments through precompose_argv
When running diff commands, a pathspec containing decomposed
unicode code points is not converted to precomposed unicode form
under Mac OS X, but we normalize the paths in the index and the
history to precomposed form on that platform.  As a result, the
pathspec would not match and no diff is shown.

Unlike many builtin commands, the "diff" family of commands do
not use parse_options(), which is how other builtin commands
indirectly call precompose_argv() to normalize argv[] into
precomposed form on Mac OSX.  Teach these commands to call
precompose_argv() themselves.

Note that precomopose_argv() normalizes not just paths but all
command line arguments, so things like "git diff -G $string"
when $string has the decomposed form would first be normalized
into the precomposed form and would stop hitting the same string
in the decomposed form in the diff output with this change.

It is not a problem per-se, as "log" family of commands already use
parse_options() and call precompose_argv()--we can think of this
change as making the "diff" family of commands behave in a similar
way as the commands in the "log" family.

302ad7a993 Submodules: Use "ignore" settings from .gitmodules too for diff and status
The .gitmodules file is parsed for "submodule.<name>.ignore" entries
before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config
will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the local developer
to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream
set defaults for those users who don't have special needs.

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
