A scheduled "git maintenance" job is expected to work on all
repositories it knows about, but it stopped at the first one that
errored out. Now it keeps going.
* js/for-each-repo-keep-going:
maintenance: running maintenance should not stop on errors
for-each-repo: optionally keep going on an error
In https://github.com/microsoft/git/issues/623, it was reported that
maintenance stops on a missing repository, omitting the remaining
repositories that were scheduled for maintenance.
This is undesirable, as it should be a best effort type of operation.
It should still fail due to the missing repository, of course, but not
leave the non-missing repositories in unmaintained shapes.
Let's use `for-each-repo`'s shiny new `--keep-going` option that we just
introduced for that very purpose.
This change will be picked up when running `git maintenance start`,
which is run implicitly by `scalar reconfigure`.

When running `git maintenance run --auto`, then the various subtasks
will only run as needed. Thus, we for example end up only packing loose
objects if we hit a certain threshold.
Interestingly enough, the "pack-refs" task is actually _never_ executed
when the auto-flag is set because it does not have a condition at all.
As 41abfe15d9 (maintenance: add pack-refs task, 2021-02-09) mentions:
The 'auto_condition' function pointer is left NULL for now. We could
extend this in the future to have a condition check if pack-refs
should be run during 'git maintenance run --auto'.
It is not quite clear from that quote whether it is actually intended
that the task doesn't run at all in this mode. Also, no test was added
to verify this behaviour. Ultimately though, it feels quite surprising
that `git maintenance run --auto --task=pack-refs` would quietly never
do anything at all.
In any case, now that we do have the logic in place to let ref backends
decide whether or not to repack refs, it does make sense to wire it up
accordingly. With the "reftable" backend we will thus now perform
auto-compaction, which optimizes the refdb as needed.
But for the "files" backend we now unconditionally pack refs as it does
not yet know to handle the "auto" flag. Arguably, this can be seen as a
bug fix given that previously the task never did anything at all.
Eventually though we should amend the "files" backend to use some
heuristics for auto compaction, as well.

Forward the `--auto` flag to git-pack-refs(1) when it has been invoked
with this flag itself. This does not change anything for the "files"
backend, which will continue to eagerly pack refs. But it does ensure
that the "reftable" backend only compacts refs as required.
This change does not impact git-maintenance(1) because this command will
in fact never run the pack-refs task when run with `--auto`. This issue
will be addressed in a subsequent commit.

Introduce the ability to append comments to modifications
made using git-config. Example usage:
git config --comment "changed via script" \
--add safe.directory /home/alice/repo.git
based on the proposed patch, the output produced is:
[safe]
directory = /home/alice/repo.git #changed via script
Users need to be able to distinguish between config entries made
using automation and entries made by a human. Automation can add
comments containing a URL pointing to explanations for the change
made, avoiding questions from users as to why their config file
was changed by a third party.
The implementation ensures that a # character is unconditionally
prepended to the provided comment string, and that the comment
text is appended as a suffix to the changed key-value-pair in the
same line of text. Multi-line comments (i.e. comments containing
linefeed) are rejected as errors, causing Git to exit without
making changes.
Comments are aimed at humans who inspect or change their Git
config using a pager or editor. Comments are not meant to be
read or displayed by git-config at a later time.

"git repack" learned "--max-cruft-size" to prevent cruft packs from
growing without bounds.
* tb/repack-max-cruft-size:
repack: free existing_cruft array after use
builtin/repack.c: avoid making cruft packs preferred
builtin/repack.c: implement support for `--max-cruft-size`
builtin/repack.c: parse `--max-pack-size` with OPT_MAGNITUDE
t7700: split cruft-related tests to t7704
Cruft packs are an alternative mechanism for storing a collection of
unreachable objects whose mtimes are recent enough to avoid being
pruned out of the repository.
When cruft packs were first introduced back in b757353676
(builtin/pack-objects.c: --cruft without expiration, 2022-05-20) and
a7d493833f (builtin/pack-objects.c: --cruft with expiration,
2022-05-20), the recommended workflow consisted of:
- Repacking periodically, either by packing anything loose in the
repository (via `git repack -d`) or producing a geometric sequence
of packs (via `git repack --geometric=<d> -d`).
- Every so often, splitting the repository into two packs, one cruft
to store the unreachable objects, and another non-cruft pack to
store the reachable objects.
Repositories may (out of band with the above) choose periodically to
prune out some unreachable objects which have aged out of the grace
period by generating a pack with `--cruft-expiration=<approxidate>`.
This allowed repositories to maintain relatively few packs on average,
and quarantine unreachable objects together in a cruft pack, avoiding
the pitfalls of holding unreachable objects as loose while they age out
(for more, see some of the details in 3d89a8c118
(Documentation/technical: add cruft-packs.txt, 2022-05-20)).
This all works, but can be costly from an I/O-perspective when
frequently repacking a repository that has many unreachable objects.
This problem is exacerbated when those unreachable objects are rarely
(if every) pruned.
Since there is at most one cruft pack in the above scheme, each time we
update the cruft pack it must be rewritten from scratch. Because much of
the pack is reused, this is a relatively inexpensive operation from a
CPU-perspective, but is very costly in terms of I/O since we end up
rewriting basically the same pack (plus any new unreachable objects that
have entered the repository since the last time a cruft pack was
generated).
At the time, we decided against implementing more robust support for
multiple cruft packs. This patch implements that support which we were
lacking.
Introduce a new option `--max-cruft-size` which allows repositories to
accumulate cruft packs up to a given size, after which point a new
generation of cruft packs can accumulate until it reaches the maximum
size, and so on. To generate a new cruft pack, the process works like
so:
- Sort a list of any existing cruft packs in ascending order of pack
size.
- Starting from the beginning of the list, group cruft packs together
while the accumulated size is smaller than the maximum specified
pack size.
- Combine the objects in these cruft packs together into a new cruft
pack, along with any other unreachable objects which have since
entered the repository.
Once a cruft pack grows beyond the size specified via `--max-cruft-size`
the pack is effectively frozen. This limits the I/O churn up to a
quadratic function of the value specified by the `--max-cruft-size`
option, instead of behaving quadratically in the number of total
unreachable objects.
When pruning unreachable objects, we bypass the new code paths which
combine small cruft packs together, and instead start from scratch,
passing in the appropriate `--max-pack-size` down to `pack-objects`,
putting it in charge of keeping the resulting set of cruft packs sized
correctly.
This may seem like further I/O churn, but in practice it isn't so bad.
We could prune old cruft packs for whom all or most objects are removed,
and then generate a new cruft pack with just the remaining set of
objects. But this additional complexity buys us relatively little,
because most objects end up being pruned anyway, so the I/O churn is
well contained.

When running in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), it is usually
necessary to use the Git Credential Manager for authentication when
performing the background fetches.
This requires interoperability between the Windows Subsystem for Linux
and the Windows host to work, which uses so-called vsocks, i.e. sockets
intended for communcations between virtual machines and the host they
are running on.
However, when Git is configured to run background maintenance via
`systemd`, the address families available to those maintenance processes
are restricted, and did not include `AF_VSOCK`. This leads to problems
e.g. when a background fetch tries to access github.com:
systemd[437]: Starting Optimize Git repositories data...
git[747387]: WSL (747387) ERROR: UtilBindVsockAnyPort:285: socket failed 97

Address this (pun intended) by adding the `AF_VSOCK` address family to

The previous commit argued that parse-options callbacks should try to
use opt->value rather than touching globals directly. In some cases,
however, that's awkward to do. Some callbacks touch multiple variables,
or may even just call into an abstracted function that does so.
In some of these cases we _could_ convert them by stuffing the multiple
variables into a single struct and passing the struct pointer through
opt->value. But that may make other parts of the code less readable,
as the struct relationship has to be mentioned everywhere.
Let's just accept that these cases are special and leave them as-is. But
we do need to mark their "opt" parameters to satisfy -Wunused-parameter.

When running 'git maintenance start', the current pattern is to
configure global config settings to enable maintenance on the current
repository and set 'maintenance.auto' to false and _then_ to set up the
schedule with the system scheduler.
This has a problematic error condition: if the scheduler fails to
initialize, the repository still will not use automatic maintenance due
to the 'maintenance.auto' setting.
Fix this gap by swapping the order of operations. If Git fails to
initialize maintenance, then the config changes should never happen.

The 'git maintenance run' command prevents concurrent runs in the same
repository using a 'maintenance.lock' file. However, when using systemd
the hourly maintenance runs the same time as the daily and weekly runs.
(Similarly, daily maintenance runs at the same time as weekly
maintenance.) These competing commands result in some maintenance not
actually being run.
This overlap was something we could not fix until we made the recent
change to not use the builting 'hourly', 'daily', and 'weekly' schedules
in systemd. We can adjust the schedules such that:
1. Hourly runs avoid the 0th hour.
2. Daily runs avoid Monday.

The get_random_minute() method was created to allow maintenance
schedules to be fixed to a random minute of the hour. This randomness is
only intended to spread out the load from a number of clients, but each
client should have an hour between each maintenance cycle.
Add this random minute to the systemd integration.
This integration is more complicated than similar changes for other
schedulers because of a neat trick that systemd allows: templating.
The previous implementation generated two template files with names
of the form 'git-maintenance@.(timer|service)'. The '.timer' or
'.service' indicates that this is a template that is picked up when we
later specify '...@<schedule>.timer' or '...@<schedule>.service'. The
'<schedule>' string is then used to insert into the template both the
'OnCalendar' schedule setting and the '--schedule' parameter of the
'git maintenance run' command.
In order to set these schedules to a given minute, we can no longer use
the 'hourly', 'daily', or 'weekly' strings for '<schedule>' and instead
need to abandon the template model for the .timer files. We can still
use templates for the .service files. For this reason, we split these
writes into two methods.
Modify the template with a custom schedule in the 'OnCalendar' setting.
This schedule has some interesting differences from cron-like patterns,
but is relatively easy to figure out from context. The one that might be
confusing is that '*-*-*' is a date-based pattern, but this must be
omitted when using 'Mon' to signal that we care about the day of the
week. Monday is used since that matches the day used for the 'weekly'
schedule used previously.
Now that the timer files are not templates, we might want to abandon the
'@' symbol in the file names. However, this would cause users with
existing schedules to get two competing schedules due to different
names. The work to remove the old schedule name is one thing that we can
avoid by keeping the '@' symbol in our unit names. Since we are locked
into this name, it makes sense that we keep the template model for the
.service files.
The rest of the change involves making sure we are writing these .timer
and .service files before initializing the schedule with 'systemctl' and
deleting the files when we are done. Some changes are also made to share
the random minute along with a single computation of the execution path
of the current Git executable.
In addition, older Git versions may have written a
'git-maintenance@.timer' template file. Be sure to remove this when
successfully enabling maintenance (or disabling maintenance).

The systemd_timer_write_unit_templates() method writes a single template
that is then used to start the hourly, daily, and weekly schedules with
systemd.
However, in order to schedule systemd maintenance on a given minute,
these templates need to be replaced with specific schedules for each of
these jobs.
Before modifying the schedules, move the writing method above the
systemd_timer_enable_unit() method, so we can write a specific schedule
for each unit.
The diff is computed smaller by showing systemd_timer_enable_unit() and
systemd_timer_delete_units() move instead of
systemd_timer_write_unit_templates() and
systemd_timer_delete_unit_templates().

When we initially created background maintenance -- with its hourly,
daily, and weekly schedules -- we considered the effects of all clients
launching fetches to the server every hour on the hour. The worry of
DDoSing server hosts was noted, but left as something we would consider
for a future update.
As background maintenance has gained more adoption over the past three
years, our worries about DDoSing the big Git hosts has been unfounded.
Those systems, especially those serving public repositories, are already
resilient to thundering herds of much smaller scale.
However, sometimes organizations spin up specific custom server
infrastructure either in addition to or on top of their Git host. Some
of these technologies are built for a different range of scale, and can
hit concurrency limits sooner. Organizations with such custom
infrastructures are more likely to recommend tools like `scalar` which
furthers their adoption of background maintenance.
To help solve for this, create get_random_minute() as a method to help
Git select a random minute when creating schedules in the future. The
integrations with this method do not yet exist, but will follow in
future changes.
To avoid multiple sources of randomness in the Git codebase, create a
new helper function, git_rand(), that returns a random uint32_t. This is
similar to how rand() returns a random nonnegative value, except it is
based on csprng_bytes() which is cryptographic and will return values
larger than RAND_MAX.
One thing that is important for testability is that we notice when we
are under a test scenario and return a predictable result. The schedules
themselves are not checked for this value, but at least one launchctl
test checks that we do not unnecessarily reboot the schedule if it has
not changed from a previous version.

Enhance `string_list_split_in_place()` to accept multiple characters as
delimiters instead of a single character.
Instead of using `strchr(2)` to locate the first occurrence of the given
delimiter character, `string_list_split_in_place_multi()` uses
`strcspn(2)` to move past the initial segment of characters comprised of
any characters in the delimiting set.
When only a single delimiting character is provided, `strpbrk(2)` (which
is implemented with `strcspn(2)`) has equivalent performance to
`strchr(2)`. Modern `strcspn(2)` implementations treat an empty
delimiter or the singleton delimiter as a special case and fall back to
calling strchrnul(). Both glibc[1] and musl[2] implement `strcspn(2)`
this way.
This change is one step to removing `strtok(2)` from the tree. Note that
`string_list_split_in_place()` is not a strict replacement for
`strtok()`, since it will happily turn sequential delimiter characters
into empty entries in the resulting string_list. For example:
string_list_split_in_place(&xs, "foo:;:bar:;:baz", ":;", -1)
would yield a string list of:
["foo", "", "", "bar", "", "", "baz"]
Callers that wish to emulate the behavior of strtok(2) more directly
should call `string_list_remove_empty_items()` after splitting.
To avoid regressions for the new multi-character delimter cases, update
t0063 in this patch as well.

Back in 5b92477f89 (builtin/gc.c: conditionally avoid pruning objects
via loose, 2022-05-20), `git gc` learned the `--cruft` option and
`gc.cruftPacks` configuration to opt-in to writing cruft packs when
collecting or pruning unreachable objects.
Cruft packs were introduced with the merge in a50036da1a (Merge branch
'tb/cruft-packs', 2022-06-03). They address the problem of "loose object
explosions", where Git will write out many individual loose objects when
there is a large number of unreachable objects that have not yet aged
past `--prune=<date>`.
Instead of keeping track of those unreachable yet recent objects via
their loose object file's mtime, cruft packs collect all unreachable
objects into a single pack with a corresponding `*.mtimes` file that
acts as a table to store the mtimes of all unreachable objects. This
prevents the need to store unreachable objects as loose as they age out
of the repository, and avoids the problem of loose object explosions.
Beyond avoiding loose object explosions, cruft packs also act as a more
efficient mechanism to store unreachable objects as they age out of a
repository. This is because pairs of similar unreachable objects serve
as delta bases for one another.
In 5b92477f89, the feature was introduced as experimental. Since then,
GitHub has been running these patches in every repository generating
hundreds of millions of cruft packs along the way. The feature is
battle-tested, and avoids many pathological cases such as above. Users
who either run `git gc` manually, or via `git maintenance` can benefit
from having cruft packs.
As such, enable cruft pack generation to take place by default (by
making `gc.cruftPacks` have the default of "true" rather than "false).

When cruft packs were implemented, we never adjusted the code for `git
gc`'s `--keep-largest-pack` and `gc.bigPackThreshold` to ignore cruft
packs. This option and configuration option share a common
implementation, but including cruft packs is wrong in both cases:
- Running `git gc --keep-largest-pack` in a repository where the
largest pack is the cruft pack itself will make it impossible for
`git gc` to prune objects, since the cruft pack itself is kept.
- The same is true for `gc.bigPackThreshold`, if the size of the cruft
pack exceeds the limit set by the caller.
In the future, it is possible that `gc.bigPackThreshold` could be used
to write a separate cruft pack containing any new unreachable objects
that entered the repository since the last time a cruft pack was
written.
There are some complexities to doing so, mainly around handling
pruning objects that are in an existing cruft pack that is above the
threshold (which would either need to be rewritten, or else delay
pruning). Rewriting a substantially similar cruft pack isn't ideal, but
it is significantly better than the status-quo.
If users have large cruft packs that they don't want to rewrite, they
can mark them as `*.keep` packs. But in general, if a repository has a
cruft pack that is so large it is slowing down GC's, it should probably
be pruned anyway.
In the meantime, ignore cruft packs in the common implementation for
both of these options, and add a pair of tests to prevent any future
regressions here.

Fix numerous and mostly long-standing segfaults in consumers of
the *_config_*value_multi() API. As discussed in the preceding commit
an empty key in the config syntax yields a "NULL" string, which these
users would give to strcmp() (or similar), resulting in segfaults.
As this change shows, most users users of the *_config_*value_multi()
API didn't really want such an an unsafe and low-level API, let's give
them something with the safety of git_config_get_string() instead.
This fix is similar to what the *_string() functions and others
acquired in[1] and [2]. Namely introducing and using a safer
"*_get_string_multi()" variant of the low-level "_*value_multi()"
function.
This fixes segfaults in code introduced in:
- d811c8e17c (versionsort: support reorder prerelease suffixes, 2015-02-26)
- c026557a37 (versioncmp: generalize version sort suffix reordering, 2016-12-08)

- 50a044f1e4 (gc: replace config subprocesses with API calls, 2022-09-27)
There are now two users ofthe low-level API:
- One in "builtin/for-each-repo.c", which we'll convert in a
subsequent commit.
- The "t/helper/test-config.c" code added in [3].
As seen in the preceding commit we need to give the
"t/helper/test-config.c" caller these "NULL" entries.
We could also alter the underlying git_configset_get_value_multi()
function to be "string safe", but doing so would leave no room for
other variants of "*_get_value_multi()" that coerce to other types.
Such coercion can't be built on the string version, since as we've
established "NULL" is a true value in the boolean context, but if we
coerced it to "" for use in a list of strings it'll be subsequently
coerced to "false" as a boolean.
The callback pattern being used here will make it easy to introduce
e.g. a "multi" variant which coerces its values to "bool", "int",
"path" etc.

Have the "git_configset_get_value_multi()" function and its siblings
return an "int" and populate a "**dest" parameter like every other
git_configset_get_*()" in the API.
As we'll take advantage of in subsequent commits, this fixes a blind
spot in the API where it wasn't possible to tell whether a list was
empty from whether a config key existed. For now we don't make use of
those new return values, but faithfully convert existing API users.
Most of this is straightforward, commentary on cases that stand out:
- To ensure that we'll properly use the return values of this function
in the future we're using the "RESULT_MUST_BE_USED" macro introduced
in [1].
As git_die_config() now has to handle this return value let's have
it BUG() if it can't find the config entry. As tested for in a
preceding commit we can rely on getting the config list in
git_die_config().
- The loops after getting the "list" value in "builtin/gc.c" could
also make use of "unsorted_string_list_has_string()" instead of using
that loop, but let's leave that for now.
- In "versioncmp.c" we now use the return value of the functions,
instead of checking if the lists are still non-NULL.

We already have the basic "git_config_get_value()" function and its
"repo_*" and "configset" siblings to get a given "key" and assign the
last key found to a provided "value".
But some callers don't care about that value, but just want to use the
return value of the "get_value()" function to check whether the key
exist (or another non-zero return value).
The immediate motivation for this is that a subsequent commit will
need to change all callers of the "*_get_value_multi()" family of
functions. In two cases here we (ab)used it to check whether we had
any values for the given key, but didn't care about the return value.
The rest of the callers here used various other config API functions
to do the same, all of which resolved to the same underlying functions
to provide the answer.
Some of these were using either git_config_get_string() or
git_config_get_string_tmp(), see fe4c750fb1 (submodule--helper: fix a
configure_added_submodule() leak, 2022-09-01) for a recent example. We
can now use a helper function that doesn't require a throwaway
variable.
We could have changed git_configset_get_value_multi() (and then
git_config_get_value() etc.) to accept a "NULL" as a "dest" for all
callers, but let's avoid changing the behavior of existing API
users. Having an "unused" value that we throw away internal to
config.c is cheap.
A "NULL as optional dest" pattern is also more fragile, as the intent
of the caller might be misinterpreted if he were to accidentally pass
"NULL", e.g. when "dest" is passed in from another function.
Another name for this function could have been
"*_config_key_exists()", as suggested in [1]. That would work for all
of these callers, and would currently be equivalent to this function,
as the git_configset_get_value() API normalizes all non-zero return
values to a "1".
But adding that API would set us up to lose information, as e.g. if
git_config_parse_key() in the underlying configset_find_element()
fails we'd like to return -1, not 1.
Let's change the underlying configset_find_element() function to
support this use-case, we'll make further use of it in a subsequent
commit where the git_configset_get_value_multi() function itself will
expose this new return value.
This still leaves various inconsistencies and clobbering or ignoring
of the return value in place. E.g here we're modifying
configset_add_value(), but ever since it was added in [2] we've been
ignoring its "int" return value, but as we're changing the
configset_find_element() it uses, let's have it faithfully ferry that
"ret" along.
Let's also use the "RESULT_MUST_BE_USED" macro introduced in [3] to
assert that we're checking the return value of
configset_find_element().
We're leaving the same change to configset_add_value() for some future
series. Once we start paying attention to its return value we'd need
to ferry it up as deep as do_config_from(), and would need to make
least read_{,very_}early_config() and git_protected_config() return an
"int" instead of "void". Let's leave that for now, and focus on
the *_get_*() functions.
