Teach FSMonitor daemon on Windows to recognize shortname paths as

possible).
Sometimes we receive FS events using the shortname, such as when a CMD
shell runs "RENAME GIT~1 FOO" or "RMDIR GIT~1". The FS notification
arrives using whatever combination of long and shortnames were used by
the other process. (Shortnames do seem to be case normalized,
however.)
Use Windows GetLongPathNameW() to try to map the pathname spelling in
the notification event into the normalized longname spelling. (This
can fail if the file/directory is deleted, moved, or renamed, because
we are asking the FS for the mapping in response to the event and
after it has already happened, but we try.)

We don't bother to freshen objects stored in a cruft pack individually
by updating the `.mtimes` file. This is because we can't portably `mmap`
and write into the middle of a file (i.e., to update the mtime of just
one object). Instead, we would have to rewrite the entire `.mtimes` file
which may incur some wasted effort especially if there a lot of cruft
objects and they are freshened infrequently.
Instead, force the freshening code to avoid an optimizing write by
writing out the object loose and letting it pick up a current mtime.
This works because we prefer the mtime of the loose copy of an object
when both a loose and packed one exist (whether or not the packed copy
comes from a cruft pack or not).
This could certainly do with a test and/or be included earlier in this
series/PR, but I want to wait until after I have a chance to clean up
the overly-repetitive nature of the cruft pack tests in general.

When using cruft packs, the following race can occur when a geometric
repack that writes a MIDX bitmap takes place afterwords:
- First, create an unreachable object and do an all-into-one cruft
repack which stores that object in the repository's cruft pack.
- Then make that object reachable.
- Finally, do a geometric repack and write a MIDX bitmap.
Assuming that we are sufficiently unlucky as to select a commit from the
MIDX which reaches that object for bitmapping, then the `git
multi-pack-index` process will complain that that object is missing.
The reason is because we don't include cruft packs in the MIDX when
doing a geometric repack. Since the "make that object reachable" doesn't
necessarily mean that we'll create a new copy of that object in one of
the packs that will get rolled up as part of a geometric repack, it's
possible that the MIDX won't see any copies of that now-reachable
object.
Of course, it's desirable to avoid including cruft packs in the MIDX
because it causes the MIDX to store a bunch of objects which are likely
to get thrown away. But excluding that pack does open us up to the above
race.
This patch demonstrates the bug, and resolves it by including cruft
packs in the MIDX even when doing a geometric repack.

In a previous patch, pack-objects learned how to generate a cruft pack
so long as no objects are dropped.
This patch teaches pack-objects to handle the case where a non-never
`--cruft-expiration` value is passed. This case is slightly more
complicated than before, because we want pack-objects to save
unreachable objects which would have been pruned when there is another
recent (i.e., non-prunable) unreachable object which reaches the other.
We'll call these objects "unreachable but reachable-from-recent".
Here is how pack-objects handles `--cruft-expiration`:
- Instead of adding all objects outside of the kept pack(s) into the
packing list, only handle the ones whose mtime is within the grace
period.
- Construct a reachability traversal whose tips are the
unreachable-but-recent objects.
- Then, walk along that traversal, stopping if we reach an object in
the kept pack. At each step along the traversal, we add the object
we are visiting to the packing list.
In the majority of these cases, any object we visit in this traversal
will already be in our packing list. But we will sometimes encounter
reachable-from-recent cruft objects, which we want to retain even if
they aged out of the grace period.
The most subtle point of this process is that we actually don't need to
bother to update the rescued object's mtime. Even though we will write
an .mtimes file with a value that is older than the expiration window,
it will continue to survive cruft repacks so long as any objects which
reach it haven't aged out.
That is, a future repack will also exclude that object from the initial
packing list, only to discover it later on when doing the reachability
traversal.
Finally, stopping early once an object is found in a kept pack is safe
to do because the kept packs ordinarily represent which packs will
survive after repacking. Assuming that it _isn't_ safe to halt a
traversal early would mean that there is some ancestor object which is
missing, which implies repository corruption (i.e., the complete set of
reachable objects isn't present).

When generating a cruft pack, the caller within pack-objects will want
to know the precise timestamps of cruft objects (i.e., their
corresponding values in the .mtimes table) rather than the mtime of the
cruft pack itself.
Teach add_recent_packed() to lookup each object's precise mtime from the
.mtimes file if one exists (indicated by the is_cruft bit on the
packed_git structure).
A couple of small things worth noting here:
- load_pack_mtimes() needs to be called before asking for
nth_packed_mtime(), and that call is done lazily here. That function
exits early if the .mtimes file has already been opened and parsed,
so only the first call is slow.
- Checking the is_cruft bit can be done without any extra work on the
caller's behalf, since it is set up for us automatically as a
side-effect of calling add_packed_git() (just like the 'pack_keep'
and 'pack_promisor' bits).

This function behaves very similarly to what we will need in
pack-objects in order to implement cruft packs with expiration. But it
is lacking a couple of things. Namely, it needs:
- a mechanism to communicate the timestamps of individual recent
objects to some external caller
- and, in the case of packed objects, our future caller will also want
to know the originating pack, as well as the offset within that pack
at which the object can be found
- finally, it needs a way to skip over packs which are marked as kept
in-core.
To address the first two, add a callback interface in this patch which
reports the time of each recent object, as well as a (packed_git,
off_t) pair for packed objects.
Likewise, add a new option to the packed object iterators to skip over
packs which are marked as kept in core. This option will become
implicitly tested in a future patch.

Teach `pack-objects` how to generate a cruft pack when no objects are
dropped (i.e., `--cruft-expiration=never`). Later patches will teach
`pack-objects` how to generate a cruft pack that prunes objects.
When generating a cruft pack which does not prune objects, we want to
collect all unreachable objects into a single pack (noting and updating
their mtimes as we accumulate them). Ordinary use will pass the result
of a `git repack -A` as a kept pack, so when this patch says "kept
pack", readers should think "reachable objects".
Generating a non-expiring cruft packs works as follows:
- Callers provide a list of every pack they know about, and indicate
which packs are about to be removed.
- All packs which are going to be removed (we'll call these the
redundant ones) are marked as kept in-core.
Any packs the caller did not mention (but are known to the
`pack-objects` process) are also marked as kept in-core. Packs not
mentioned by the caller are assumed to be unknown to them, i.e.,
they entered the repository after the caller decided which packs
should be kept and which should be discarded.
Since we do not want to include objects in these "unknown" packs
(because we don't know which of their objects are or aren't
reachable), these are also marked as kept in-core.
- Then, we enumerate all objects in the repository, and add them to
our packing list if they do not appear in an in-core kept pack.
This results in a new cruft pack which contains all known objects that
aren't included in the kept packs. When the kept pack is the result of
`git repack -A`, the resulting pack contains all unreachable objects.

clear that this is the best header to define this function in, but it
should do for now.
(Worth noting, the .rev caller expects a 4-byte unsigned, but the other

structure width for operations which do not generate a cruft pack).

Change the "flow" of how translators interact with the l10n repository
at [1] to adjust it for a new workflow of not having a po/git.pot file
in-tree at all, and to not commit line numbers to the po/*.po files
that we do track in tree.
The current workflow was added in a combination of dce37b66fb (l10n:
initial git.pot for 1.7.10 upcoming release, 2012-02-13) and
271ce198cd (Update l10n guide, 2012-02-29).
As noted in preceding commits I think that it came about due to
technical debt I'd left behind in how the "po/git.pot" file was
created, and a mis-impression that the file:line comments were needed
as anything more than a transitory translation aid.
As the updated po/README.md shows the new workflow is substantially
the same, the difference is that translators no longer need to
initially pull from the l10n coordinator for a new po/git.pot, they
can simply use git.git's canonical source repository.
The l10n coordinator is still expected to announce a release to
translate, which presumably would always be Junio's latest release
tag. I'm not certain if this part of the process is actually
important. I.e. the delta translation-wise between that tag and
"master" is usually pretty small, so perhaps translators can just work
on "master" instead.

Remove the "po/git.pot" file from being tracked, which started with

The reason the po/git.pot started being checked in was because the
po/*.po files were changed a schema where we'd generate them from a
known-good snapshot of po/git.pot, instead of each translator running
"make pot" themselves.
This makes sense, but we don't need to carry this file in-tree just to
achieve that aim, and doing so has resulted in a significant amount of
"diff churn" since this method of doing it was introduced:
$ git log -p --oneline -- po/git.pot|wc -l

We can instead let l10n contributors to generate "po/git.pot" in runtime
to update their own "po/XX.po", and the l10n coordinator can check
pull requests using CI pipeline.

In addition to this, "$(FOUND_SOURCE_FILES)" may contain duplicate

In the preceding commit we moved away from using xgettext(1) to both

Doing it this way, which dates back to my initial

the --from-code both controls what encoding is specified in the

We don't ever want to allow non-ASCII in *source messages*, and doing

Before commit fc0fd5b23b (Makefile: help gettext tools to cope with our
custom PRItime format, 2017-07-20), we'd consider source files as-is
with gettext, but because we need to understand PRItime in the same way
that gettext itself understands PRIuMAX, we'd first check if we had a
clean checkout, then munge all of the processed files in-place with
"sed", generate "po/git.pot", and then finally "reset --hard" to undo
our changes.
By generating "pot" snippets in ".build/pot/po" for each source file
and rewriting certain source files with PRItime macros to temporary
files in ".build/pot/po", we can avoid running "make pot" by altering
files in place and doing a "reset --hard" afterwards.
This speed of "make pot" is slower than before on an initial run,
because we run "xgettext" many times (once per source file), but it
can be boosted by parallelization. It is *much* faster for incremental
runs, and will allow us to implement related targets in subsequent
commits.
When the "pot" target was originally added in cd5513a716 (i18n:
Makefile: "pot" target to extract messages marked for translation,
2011-02-22) it behaved like a "normal" target. I.e. we'd skip the
re-generation of the po/git.pot if nothing had to be done.
Then after po/git.pot was checked in in dce37b66fb (l10n: initial
git.pot for 1.7.10 upcoming release, 2012-02-13) the target was broken
until 1f31963e92 (i18n: treat "make pot" as an explicitly-invoked
target, 2014-08-22) when it was made to depend on "FORCE". I.e. the
Makefile's dependency resolution inherently can't handle incremental
building when the target file may be updated by git (or something else
external to "make"). But this case no longer applies, so FORCE is no
longer needed.
That out of the way, the main logic change here is getting rid of the
"reset --hard":
We'll generate intermediate ".build/pot/po/%.po" files from "%", which
is handy to see at a glance what strings (if any) in a given file are
marked for translation:
$ make .build/pot/po/pretty.c.po
[...]
$ cat .build/pot/po/pretty.c.po
#: pretty.c:1051
msgid "unable to parse --pretty format"
msgstr ""
$
For these C source files which contain the PRItime macros, we will
create temporary munged "*.c" files in a tree in ".build/pot/po"
corresponding to our source tree, and have "xgettext" consider those.
The rule needs to be careful to "(cd .build/pot/po && ...)", because
otherwise the comments in the po/git.pot file wouldn't refer to the
correct source locations (they'd be prefixed with ".build/pot/po").
These temporary munged "*.c” files will be removed immediately after
the corresponding po files are generated, because some development tools
cannot ignore the duplicate source files in the ".build" directory
according to the ".gitignore" file, and that may cause trouble.
The output of the generated po/git.pot file is changed in one minor
way: Because we're using msgcat(1) instead of xgettext(1) to
concatenate the output we'll now disambiguate where "TRANSLATORS"
comments come from, in cases where a message is the same in N files,
and either only one has a "TRANSLATORS" comment, or they're
different. E.g. for the "Your edited hunk[...]" message we'll now
apply this change (comment content elided):
+#. #-#-#-#-# add-patch.c.po #-#-#-#-#
#. TRANSLATORS: do not translate [y/n]
[...]
+#. #-#-#-#-# git-add--interactive.perl.po #-#-#-#-#
#. TRANSLATORS: do not translate [y/n]
[...]
#: add-patch.c:1253 git-add--interactive.perl:1244
msgid ""
"Your edited hunk does not apply. Edit again (saying \"no\" discards!) [y/n]? "
msgstr ""
There are six such changes, and they all make the context more
understandable, as msgcat(1) is better at handling these edge cases
than xgettext(1)'s previously used "--join-existing" flag.
But filenames in the above disambiguation lines of extracted-comments
have an extra ".po" extension compared to the filenames at the file
locations. While we could rename the intermediate ".build/pot/po/%.po"
files without the ".po" extension to use more intuitive filenames in
the disambiguation lines of extracted-comments, but that will confuse
developer tools with lots of invalid C or other source files in
".build/pot/po" directory.
The addition of "--omit-header" option for xgettext makes the "pot"
snippets in ".build/pot/po/*.po" smaller. But as we'll see in a
subsequent commit this header behavior has been hiding an
encoding-related bug from us, so let's carry it forward instead of
re-generating it with xgettext(1).
The "po/git.pot" file should have a header entry, because a proper
header entry will increase the speed of creating a new po file using
msginit and set a proper "POT-Creation-Date:" field in the header
entry of a "po/XX.po" file. We use xgettext to generate a separate
header file at ".build/pot/git.header" from "/dev/null", and use this
header to assemble "po/git.pot".

Different users may generate a different message template file
"po/git.pot". This is because the POT file is generated from
"$(LOCALIZED_C)", which is supposed to list all the sources that we
extract the strings to be translated from. But "$(LOCALIZED_C)"
includes "$(C_OBJ)", which only lists the source files used in the
current build for a specific platform and specific compiler
conditions.
Instead of using "$(C_OBJ)", we use "$(FOUND_C_SOURCES)", which lists
all source files we keep track of (or ship in a tarball extract), to
form a stable "LOCALIZED_C". We also add "$(SCALAR_SOURCES)", which
is part of "$(C_OBJ)" but not included in "$(FOUND_C_SOURCES)".
With this update, the newly generated "po/git.pot" will have 30 new
entries coming from the following C source files:
* compat/fsmonitor/fsm-listen-win32.c
* compat/mingw.c
* compat/regex/regcomp.c
* compat/simple-ipc/ipc-win32.c

We will feed xgettext with more C source files and in different order
in subsequent commit. To generate a stable "po/git.pot" regardless of
the number and order of input source files, we sort the c, perl, and
shell source files in groups before feeding them to xgettext.
Ævar suggested that we should not pass the option "--sort-by-file" to
xgettext to sort the translatable strings, as it will mix the three
groups of source files (c, perl and shell) in the file "po/git.pot",
and change the order of translatable strings in the same line of a file.
With this update, the newly generated "po/git.pot" will have the same
entries while in a different order.
With the help of a custom diff driver as shown below,
git config --global diff.gettext-fmt.textconv \
"msgcat --no-location --sort-by-file"
and appending a new entry "*.pot diff=gettext-fmt" to git attributes,
we can see that there are no substantial changes in "po/git.pot".
We won't checkin the newly generated "po/git.pot", because we will
remove it from tree in a later commit.

"git fetch --recurse-submodules" from multiple remotes (either from
a remote group, or "--all") used to make one extra "git fetch" in
the submodules, which has been corrected.
* jc/avoid-redundant-submodule-fetch:
fetch: do not run a redundant fetch from submodule
The way "git fetch" without "--update-head-ok" ensures that HEAD in
no worktree points at any ref being updated was too wasteful, which
has been optimized a bit.
