As can easily be seen from grepping in our sources, we had these uses

Out of these changes only the changes to "cache-tree.c",
"commit-reach.c", "shallow.c" and "upload-pack.c" would have cleanly
applied before the migration away from the "repo_*()" wrapper macros
in the preceding commits.
The rest aren't new, as we'd previously implicitly refer to
"the_repository", but it's now more obvious that we were doing the
wrong thing all along, and should have used the parameter instead.
The change to change "get_index_format_default(the_repository)" in
"read-cache.c" to use the "r" variable instead should arguably have
been part of [1], or in the subsequent cleanup in [2]. Let's do it
here, as can be seen from the initial code in [3] it's not important
that we use "the_repository" there, but would prefer to always use the
current repository.
This change excludes the "the_repository" use in "upload-pack.c"'s

When a commit is parsed, it pretends to have a different (possibly
empty) list of parents if there is graft information for that commit.
But there is a bug that could occur when a commit is parsed, the graft
information is updated (for example, when a shallow file is rewritten),
and the same commit is subsequently used: the parents of the commit do
not conform to the updated graft information, but the information at the
time of parsing.
This is usually not an issue, as a commit is usually introduced into the
repository at the same time as its graft information. That means that
when we try to parse that commit, we already have its graft information.
But it is an issue when fetching a shallow point directly into a
repository with submodules. The function
assign_shallow_commits_to_refs() parses all sought objects (including
the shallow point, which we are directly fetching). In update_shallow()
in fetch-pack.c, assign_shallow_commits_to_refs() is called before
commit_shallow_file(), which means that the shallow point would have
been parsed before graft information is updated. Once a commit is
parsed, it is no longer sensitive to any graft information updates. This
parsed commit is subsequently used when we do a revision walk to search
for submodules to fetch, meaning that the commit is considered to have
parents even though it is a shallow point (and therefore should be
treated as having no parents).
Therefore, whenever graft information is updated, mark the commits that
were previously grafts and the commits that are newly grafts as
unparsed.

When reset_repository_shallow() is called, Git clears its cache of
shallow information, so that if shallow information is re-requested, Git
will read fresh data from disk instead of reusing its stale cached data.
However, the cache of commit grafts is not likewise cleared, even though
there are commit grafts created from shallow information.
This means that if on-disk shallow information were to be updated and
then a commit-graft-using codepath were run (for example, a revision
walk), Git would be using stale commit graft information. This can be
seen from the test in this patch, in which Git performs a revision walk
(to check for changed submodules) after a fetch with --update-shallow.
Therefore, clear the cache of commit grafts whenever
reset_repository_shallow() is called.

It is useful to know when a branch first diverged in history
from some integration branch in order to be able to enumerate
the user's local changes. However, these local changes can
include arbitrary merges, so it is necessary to ignore this
merge structure when finding the divergence point.
In order to do this, teach the "rev-list" family to accept
"--exclude-first-parent-only", which restricts the traversal
of excluded commits to only follow first parent links.
-A-----E-F-G--main
\ / /
B-C-D--topic
In this example, the goal is to return the set {B, C, D} which
represents a topic branch that has been merged into main branch.
`git rev-list topic ^main` will end up returning no commits
since excluding main will end up traversing the commits on topic
as well. `git rev-list --exclude-first-parent-only topic ^main`
however will return {B, C, D} as desired.
Add docs for the new flag, and clarify the doc for --first-parent
to indicate that it applies to traversing the set of included
commits only.

outside the slab that should be freed as well. We already have (at
least) one such commit slab, and this patch series is about to add one
more.
To free all additional memory owned by entries on the commit slab the
user of such a slab could iterate over all commits it knows about,
peek whether there is a valid entry associated with each commit, and
free the additional memory, if any. Or it could rely on intimate
knowledge about the internals of the commit slab implementation, and
could itself iterate directly through all entries in the slab, and
free the additional memory. Or it could just leak the additional
memory...
Introduce deep_clear_##slabname() to allow releasing memory owned by
commit slab entries by invoking the 'void free_fn(elemtype *ptr)'
function specified as parameter for each entry in the slab.
Use it in get_shallow_commits() in 'shallow.c' to replace an
open-coded iteration over a commit slab's entries.

Fix in-core inconsistency after fetching into a shallow repository
that broke the code to write out commit-graph.
* tb/reset-shallow:
shallow.c: use '{commit,rollback}_shallow_file'
t5537: use test_write_lines and indented heredocs for readability
In previous patches, the functions 'commit_shallow_file' and
'rollback_shallow_file' were introduced to reset the shallowness
validity checks on a repository after potentially modifying
'.git/shallow'.
These functions can be made safer by wrapping the 'struct lockfile *' in
a new type, 'shallow_lock', so that they cannot be called with a raw
lock (and potentially misused by other code that happens to possess a
lockfile, but has nothing to do with shallowness).
This patch introduces that type as a thin wrapper around 'struct
lockfile', and updates the two aforementioned functions and their
callers to use it.

There are many functions in commit.h that are more related to shallow
repositories than they are to any sort of generic commit machinery.
Likely this began when there were only a few shallow-related functions,
and commit.h seemed a reasonable enough place to put them.
But, now there are a good number of shallow-related functions, and
placing them all in 'commit.h' doesn't make sense.
This patch extracts a 'shallow.h', which takes all of the declarations
from 'commit.h' for functions which already exist in 'shallow.c'. We
will bring the remaining shallow-related functions defined in 'commit.c'
in a subsequent patch.
For now, move only the ones that already are implemented in 'shallow.c',

In bd0b42aed3 (fetch-pack: do not take shallow lock unnecessarily,
2019-01-10), the author noted that 'is_repository_shallow' produces
visible side-effect(s) by setting 'is_shallow' and 'shallow_stat'.
This is a problem for e.g., fetching with '--update-shallow' in a
shallow repository with 'fetch.writeCommitGraph' enabled, since the
update to '.git/shallow' will cause Git to think that the repository
isn't shallow when it is, thereby circumventing the commit-graph
compatibility check.
This causes problems in shallow repositories with at least shallow refs
that have at least one ancestor (since the client won't have those
objects, and therefore can't take the reachability closure over commits
when writing a commit-graph).
Address this by introducing thin wrappers over 'commit_lock_file' and
'rollback_lock_file' for use specifically when the lock is held over
'.git/shallow'. These wrappers (appropriately called
'commit_shallow_file' and 'rollback_shallow_file') call into their
respective functions in 'lockfile.h', but additionally reset validity
checks used by the shallow machinery.
Replace each instance of 'commit_lock_file' and 'rollback_lock_file'
with 'commit_shallow_file' and 'rollback_shallow_file' when the lock
being held is over the '.git/shallow' file.
As a result, 'prune_shallow' can now only be called once (since
'check_shallow_file_for_update' will die after calling
'reset_repository_shallow'). But, this is OK since we only call
'prune_shallow' at most once per process.

Let's complete the transition by renaming the source and header files

I kept the "-" in the name, as that seems to be our style; cf.

When fetching using protocol v2, the remote may send a "shallow-info"
section if the client is shallow. If so, Git as the client currently
takes the shallow file lock, even if the "shallow-info" section is
empty.
This is not a problem except that Git does not support taking the
shallow file lock after modifying the shallow file, because
is_repository_shallow() stores information that is never cleared. And
this take-after-modify occurs when Git does a tag-following fetch from a
shallow repository on a transport that does not support tag following
(since in this case, 2 fetches are performed).
To solve this issue, take the shallow file lock (and perform all other
shallow processing) only if the "shallow-info" section is non-empty;
otherwise, behave as if it were empty.
A full solution (probably, ensuring that any action of committing
shallow file locks also includes clearing the information stored by
is_repository_shallow()) would solve the issue without need for this
patch, but this patch is independently useful (as an optimization to
prevent writing a file in an unnecessary case), hence why I wrote it. I
have included a NEEDSWORK outlining the full solution.

However, in the upcoming patch we do not even want to go that far. We
really only need to remove entries corresponding to pruned commits, i.e.
to commits that no longer exist.
Let's support that use case.

commit-slab.h: code split
Shallow clones with --shallow-since or --shalow-exclude work by
running rev-list to get all reachable commits, then draw a boundary
between reachable and unreachable and send "shallow" requests based on
that.
The code does miss one corner case: if rev-list returns nothing, we'll
have no border and we'll send no shallow requests back to the client
(i.e. no history cuts). This essentially means a full clone (or a full
branch if the client requests just one branch). One example is the
oldest commit is older than what is specified by --shallow-since.
To avoid this, if rev-list returns nothing, we abort the clone/fetch.
The user could adjust their request (e.g. --shallow-since further back
in the past) and retry.
Another possible option for this case is to fall back to a default
depth (like depth 1). But I don't like too much magic that way because
we may return something unexpected to the user. If they request
"history since 2008" and we return a single depth at 2000, that might
break stuff for them. It is better to tell them that something is
wrong and let them take the best course of action.
Note that we need to die() in get_shallow_commits_by_rev_list()
instead of just checking for empty result from its caller
deepen_by_rev_list() and handling the error there. The reason is,
empty result could be a valid case: if you have commits in year 2013
and you request --shallow-since=year.2000 then you should get a full
clone (i.e. empty result).
