In a previous commit we removed some hardcoded config variable names from
function __git_complete_config_variable_name in the completion script by
introducing a new function,
__git_compute_first_level_config_vars_for_section.
The remaining hardcoded config variables are "second level"
configuration variables, meaning 'branch.<name>.upstream',
'remote.<name>.url', etc. where <name> is a user-defined name.
Making use of the new existing --config flag to 'git help', add a new
function, __git_compute_second_level_config_vars_for_section. This
function takes as argument a config section name and computes the
corresponding second-level config variables, i.e. those that contain a
'<' which indicates the start of a placeholder. Note that as in
__git_compute_first_level_config_vars_for_section added previsouly, we
use indirect expansion instead of associative arrays to stay compatible
with Bash 3 on which macOS is stuck for licensing reasons.
As explained in the previous commit, we use the existing pattern in the
completion script of using global variables to cache the list of
variables for each section.
Use this new function and the variables it defines in
__git_complete_config_variable_name to remove hardcoded config
variables, and add a test to verify the new function. Use a single
'case' for all sections with second-level variables names, since the
code for each of them is now exactly the same.
Adjust the name of a test added in a previous commit to reflect that it
now tests the added function.

The function __git_complete_config_variable_name in the Bash completion
script hardcodes several config variable names. These variables are
those in config sections where user-defined names can appear, such as
"branch.<name>". These sections are treated first by the case statement,
and the two last "catch all" cases are used for other sections, making
use of the __git_compute_config_vars and __git_compute_config_sections
function, which omit listing any variables containing wildcards or
placeholders. Having hardcoded config variables introduces the risk of
the completion code becoming out of sync with the actual config
variables accepted by Git.
To avoid these hardcoded config variables, introduce a new function,
__git_compute_first_level_config_vars_for_section, making use of the
existing __git_config_vars variable. This function takes as argument a
config section name and computes the matching "first level" config
variables for that section, i.e. those _not_ containing any placeholder,
like 'branch.autoSetupMerge, 'remote.pushDefault', etc. Use this
function and the variables it defines in the 'branch.*', 'remote.*' and
'submodule.*' switches of the case statement instead of hardcoding the
corresponding config variables. Note that we use indirect expansion to
create a variable for each section, instead of using a single
associative array indexed by section names, because associative arrays
are not supported in Bash 3, on which macOS is stuck for licensing
reasons.
Use the existing pattern in the completion script of using global
variables to cache the list of config variables for each section. The
rationale for such caching is explained in eaa4e6ee2a (Speed up bash
completion loading, 2009-11-17), and the current approach to using and
defining them via 'test -n' is explained in cf0ff02a38 (completion: work

In be6444d1ca (completion: bash: add correct suffix in variables,
2021-08-16), __git_complete_config_variable_name was changed to use
"${sfx- }" instead of "$sfx" as the fourth argument of _gitcomp_nl and
_gitcomp_nl_append, such that this argument evaluates to a space if sfx
is unset. This was to ensure that e.g.
git config branch.autoSetupMe[TAB]
correctly completes to 'branch.autoSetupMerge ' with the trailing space.
This commits notes that the fix only works in Bash 4 because in Bash 3
the 'local sfx' construct at the beginning of
__git_complete_config_variable_name creates an empty string.
Make the fix also work for Bash 3 by using the "unset or null' parameter
expansion syntax ("${sfx:- }"), such that the parameter is also expanded
to a space if it is set but null, as is the behaviour of 'local sfx' in
Bash 3.

Completion update to prepare for reftable

t9902: verify that completion does not print anything

When there are multiple subtrees present in a repository and they are
all using 'git subtree split', the 'split' command can take a
significant (and constantly growing) amount of time to run even when
using the '--rejoin' flag. This is due to the fact that when processing
commits to determine the last known split to start from when looking
for changes, if there has been a split/merge done from another subtree
there will be 2 split commits, one mainline and one subtree, for the
second subtree that are part of the processing. The non-mainline
subtree split commit will cause the processing to always need to search
the entire history of the given subtree as part of its processing even
though those commits are totally irrelevant to the current subtree
split being run.
To see this in practice you can use the open source GitHub repo
'apollo-ios-dev' and do the following in order:
-Make a changes to a file in 'apollo-ios' and 'apollo-ios-codegen'
directories
-Create a commit containing these changes
-Do a split on apollo-ios-codegen
- Do a fetch on the subtree repo
- git fetch git@github.com:apollographql/apollo-ios-codegen.git
- git subtree split --prefix=apollo-ios-codegen --squash --rejoin
- Depending on the current state of the 'apollo-ios-dev' repo
you may see the issue at this point if the last split was on
apollo-ios
-Do a split on apollo-ios
- Do a fetch on the subtree repo
- git fetch git@github.com:apollographql/apollo-ios.git
- git subtree split --prefix=apollo-ios --squash --rejoin
-Make changes to a file in apollo-ios-codegen
-Create a commit containing the change(s)
-Do a split on apollo-ios-codegen
- git subtree split --prefix=apollo-ios-codegen --squash --rejoin
-To see that the patch fixes the issue you can use the custom subtree
script in the repo so following the same steps as above, except
instead of using 'git subtree ...' for the commands use
'git-subtree.sh ...' for the commands
You will see that the final split is looking for the last split
on apollo-ios-codegen to use as it's starting point to process
commits. Since there is a split commit from apollo-ios in between the
2 splits run on apollo-ios-codegen, the processing ends up traversing
the entire history of apollo-ios which increases the time it takes to
do a split based on how long of a history apollo-ios has, while none
of these commits are relevant to the split being done on
apollo-ios-codegen.
So this commit makes a change to the processing of commits for the
split command in order to ignore non-mainline commits from other
subtrees such as apollo-ios in the above breakdown by adding a new
function 'should_ignore_subtree_commit' which is called during
'process_split_commit'. This allows the split/rejoin processing to
still function as expected but removes all of the unnecessary
processing that takes place currently which greatly inflates the
processing time. In the above example, previously the final split
would take ~10-12 minutes, while after this fix it takes seconds.
Added a test to validate that the proposed fix
solves the issue.
The test accomplishes this by checking the output
of the split command to ensure the output from
the progress of 'process_split_commit' function
that represents the 'extracount' of commits
processed remains at 0, meaning none of the commits
from the second subtree were processed.
This was tested against the original functionality
to show the test failed, and then with this fix
to show the test passes.
This illustrated that when using multiple subtrees,
A and B, when doing a split on subtree B, the
processing does not traverse the entire history
of subtree A which is unnecessary and would cause
the 'extracount' of processed commits to climb
based on the number of commits in the history of
subtree A.

The `__git_pseudoref_exists ()` helper function back to git-rev-parse(1)
in case the reftable backend is in use. This is not in the same spirit
as the simple existence check that the "files" backend does though,
because there we only check for the pseudo-ref to exist with `test -f`.
With git-rev-parse(1) we not only check for existence, but also verify
that the pseudo-ref resolves to an object, which may not be the case
when the pseudo-ref points to an unborn branch.
Fix this issue by using `git show-ref --exists` instead. Note that we do
not have to silence stdout anymore as git-show-ref(1) will not print

In 44dbb3bf29 (completion: support pseudoref existence checks for
reftables, 2023-12-19), we have extended the Bash completion script to
support future ref backends better by using git-rev-parse(1) to check
for pseudo-ref existence. This conversion has introduced a bug, because
even though we pass `--quiet` to git-rev-parse(1) it would still output
the resolved object ID of the ref in question if it exists.
Fix this by redirecting its stdout to `/dev/null` and add a test that
catches this behaviour. Note that the test passes even without the fix
for the "files" backend because we parse pseudo refs via the filesystem
directly in that case. But the test will fail with the "reftable"
backend.

We're manually parsing the HEAD reference in git-prompt to figure out
whether it is a symbolic or direct reference. This makes it intimately
tied to the on-disk format we use to store references and will stop
working once we gain additional reference backends in the Git project.
Ideally, we would refactor the code to exclusively use plumbing tools to
read refs such that we do not have to care about the on-disk format at
all. Unfortunately though, spawning processes can be quite expensive on
some systems like Windows. As the Git prompt logic may be executed quite
frequently we try very hard to spawn as few processes as possible. This
refactoring is thus out of question for now.
Instead, condition the logic on the repository's ref format: if the repo
uses the the "files" backend we can continue to use the old logic and
read the respective files from disk directly. If it's anything else,
then we use git-symbolic-ref(1) to read the value of HEAD.
This change makes the Git prompt compatible with the upcoming "reftable"
format.

It is tempting to think of "files and directories" of the current
directory as valid inputs to the add and set subcommands of git
sparse-checkout. However, in non-cone mode, they often aren't and using
them as potential completions leads to *many* forms of confusion:
Issue #1. It provides the *wrong* files and directories.
For
git sparse-checkout add
we always want to add files and directories not currently in our sparse
checkout, which means we want file and directories not currently present
in the current working tree. Providing the files and directories
currently present is thus always wrong.
For
git sparse-checkout set
we have a similar problem except in the subset of cases where we are
trying to narrow our checkout to a strict subset of what we already
have. That is not a very common scenario, especially since it often
does not even happen to be true for the first use of the command; for
years we required users to create a sparse-checkout via
git sparse-checkout init
git sparse-checkout set <args...>
(or use a clone option that did the init step for you at clone time).
The init command creates a minimal sparse-checkout with just the
top-level directory present, meaning the set command has to be used to
expand the checkout. Thus, only in a special and perhaps unusual cases
would any of the suggestions from normal file and directory completion
be appropriate.
Issue #2: Suggesting patterns that lead to warnings is unfriendly.
If the user specifies any regular file and omits the leading '/', then
the sparse-checkout command will warn the user that their command is
problematic and suggest they use a leading slash instead.
Issue #3: Completion gets confused by leading '/', and provides wrong paths.
Users often want to anchor their patterns to the toplevel of the
repository, especially when listing individual files. There are a
number of reasons for this, but notably even sparse-checkout encourages
them to do so (as noted above). However, if users do so (via adding a
leading '/' to their pattern), then bash completion will interpret the
leading slash not as a request for a path at the toplevel of the
repository, but as a request for a path at the root of the filesytem.
That means at best that completion cannot help with such paths, and if
it does find any completions, they are almost guaranteed to be wrong.
Issue #4: Suggesting invalid patterns from subdirectories is unfriendly.
There is no per-directory equivalent to .gitignore with
sparse-checkouts. There is only a single worktree-global
$GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout file. As such, paths to files must be
specified relative to the toplevel of a repository. Providing
suggestions of paths that are relative to the current working directory,
as bash completion defaults to, is wrong when the current working
directory is not the worktree toplevel directory.
Issue #5: Paths with special characters will be interpreted incorrectly
The entries in the sparse-checkout file are patterns, not paths. While
most paths also qualify as patterns (though even in such cases it would
be better for users to not use them directly but prefix them with a
leading '/'), there are a variety of special characters that would need
special escaping beyond the normal shell escaping: '*', '?', '\', '[',
']', and any leading '#' or '!'. If completion suggests any such paths,
users will likely expect them to be treated as an exact path rather than
as a pattern that might match some number of files other than 1.
However, despite the first four issues, we can note that _if_ users are
using tab completion, then they are probably trying to specify a path in
the index. As such, we transform their argument into a top-level-rooted
pattern that matches such a file. For example, if they type:
git sparse-checkout add Make<TAB>
we could "complete" to
git sparse-checkout add /Makefile
or, if they ran from the Documentation/technical/ subdirectory:
git sparse-checkout add m<TAB>
we could "complete" it to:
git sparse-checkout add /Documentation/technical/multi-pack-index.txt
Note in both cases I use "complete" in quotes, because we actually add
characters both before and after the argument in question, so we are
kind of abusing "bash completions" to be "bash completions AND
beginnings".
The fifth issue is a bit stickier, especially when you consider that we
not only need to deal with escaping issues because of special meanings
of patterns in sparse-checkout & gitignore files, but also that we need
to consider escaping issues due to ls-files needing to sometimes quote
or escape characters, and because the shell needs to escape some
characters. The multiple interacting forms of escaping could get ugly;
this patch makes no attempt to do so and simply documents that we
decided to not deal with those corner cases for now but at least get the
common cases right.

The "set" and "add" subcommands of "sparse-checkout", when in cone mode,
should only complete on directories. For bash_completion in general,
when no completions are returned for any subcommands, it will often fall
back to standard completion of files and directories as a substitute.
That is not helpful here. Since we have already looked for all valid
completions, if none are found then falling back to standard bash file
and directory completion is at best actively misleading. In fact, there
are three different ways it can be actively misleading. Add a long
comment in the code about how that fallback behavior can deceive, and
disable the fallback by returning a fake result as the sole completion.

The Perl requirement was last changed in d48b284183 (perl: bump the
required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21], 2010-09-24). At that time,
5.8.0 was 8 years old. It is now over 21 years old.

The `subtree_for_commit ()` helper function asserts that the subtree
identified by its parameters are either a commit or tree. This is done
via the `-o` parameter of test, which is discouraged.
Refactor the code to instead use a switch statement over the type.
Despite being aligned with our coding guidelines, the resulting code is
arguably also easier to read.

Functions in git-subtree.sh all assert that they are being passed the
correct number of arguments. In cases where we accept a variable number
of arguments we assert this via a single call to `test` with `-o`, which
is discouraged by our coding guidelines.
Convert these cases to stop doing so. This requires us to decompose
assertions of the style `assert test $# = 2 -o $# = 3` into two calls
because we have no easy way to logically chain statements passed to the
assert function.

Our coding guidelines say to not use `test` with `-a` and `-o` because
it can easily lead to bugs. Convert trivial cases where we still use
these to instead instead concatenate multiple invocations of `test` via
`&&` and `||`, respectively.
While not all of the converted instances can cause ambiguity, it is
worth getting rid of all of them regardless:
- It becomes easier to reason about the code as we do not have to
argue why one use of `-a`/`-o` is okay while another one isn't.
- We don't encourage people to use these expressions.

The unit tests should also be available e.g. in Visual Studio's Test
Explorer when configuring Git's source code via CMake.

The primary purpose of Git's CMake definition is to allow developing Git
in Visual Studio. As part of that, the CTest feature allows running
individual test scripts conveniently in Visual Studio's Test Explorer.
However, this Test Explorer's design targets object-oriented languages
and therefore expects the test names in the form
`<namespace>.<class>.<testname>`. And since we specify the full path
of the test scripts instead, including the ugly `/.././t/` part, these
dots confuse the Test Explorer and it uses a large part of the path as
"namespace".
Let's just use `t.suite.<name>` instead. This presents the tests in
Visual Studio's Test Explorer in the following form by default (i.e.
unless the user changes the view via the "Group by" menu):
◢ ◈ git
◢ ◈ t
◢ ◈ suite
◈ t0000-basic
◈ t0001-init
◈ t0002-gitfile

Another step to deprecate test_i18ngrep.
* jc/test-i18ngrep:
tests: teach callers of test_i18ngrep to use test_grep
test framework: further deprecate test_i18ngrep
They are equivalents and the former still exists, so as long as the
only change this commit makes are to rewrite test_i18ngrep to
test_grep, there won't be any new bug, even if there still are
callers of test_i18ngrep remaining in the tree, or when merged to
other topics that add new uses of test_i18ngrep.
This patch was produced more or less with
git grep -l -e 'test_i18ngrep ' 't/t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh' |
xargs perl -p -i -e 's/test_i18ngrep /test_grep /'
and a good way to sanity check the result yourself is to run the
above in a checkout of c4603c1c (test framework: further deprecate
test_i18ngrep, 2023-10-31) and compare the resulting working tree
contents with the result of applying this patch to the same commit.
You'll see that test_i18ngrep in a few t/lib-*.sh files corrected,
in addition to the manual reproduction.

Many typos, ungrammatical sentences and wrong phrasing have been
fixed.
* sn/typo-grammo-phraso-fixes:
t/README: fix multi-prerequisite example
doc/gitk: s/sticked/stuck/
git-jump: admit to passing merge mode args to ls-files
doc/diff-options: improve wording of the log.diffMerges mention
doc: fix some typos, grammar and wording issues
'--dd' only makes sense for 'git log' and 'git show', so add it to
__git_log_show_options which is referenced in the completion for these
two commands.
