ece3974ba6 pull: fix a "struct oid_array" memory leak
Fix a memory leak introduced in 44c175c7a4 (pull: error on no merge
candidates, 2015-06-18). As a result we can mark several tests as
passing with SANITIZE=leak using "TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true".

Removing the "int ret = 0" assignment added here in a6d7eb2c7a (pull:
optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule changes only),
2017-06-23) is not a logic error, it could always have been left
uninitialized (as "int ret"), now that we'll use the "ret" from the
upper scope we can drop the assignment in the "opt_rebase" branch.

5819417365 pull: do not let submodule.recurse override fetch.recurseSubmodules
Fix a bug in "git pull" where `submodule.recurse` is preferred over
`fetch.recurseSubmodules` when performing a fetch
(Documentation/config/fetch.txt says that `fetch.recurseSubmodules`
should be preferred.). Do this by passing the value of the
"--recurse-submodules" CLI option to the underlying fetch, instead of
passing a value that combines the CLI option and config variables.

In other words, this bug occurred because builtin/pull.c is conflating
two similar-sounding, but different concepts:

- Whether "git pull" itself should care about submodules e.g. whether it
  should update the submodule worktrees after performing a merge.
- The value of "--recurse-submodules" to pass to the underlying "git
  fetch".

Thus, when `submodule.recurse` is set, the underlying "git fetch" gets
invoked with "--recurse-submodules[=value]", overriding the value of
`fetch.recurseSubmodules`.

An alternative (and more obvious) approach to fix the bug would be to
teach "git pull" to understand `fetch.recurseSubmodules`, but the
proposed solution works better because:

- We don't maintain two identical config-parsing implementions in "git
  pull" and "git fetch".
- It works better with other commands invoked by "git pull" e.g. "git
  merge" won't accidentally respect `fetch.recurseSubmodules`.

059fda1902 checkout/fetch/pull/pack-objects: allow -h outside a repository
When we taught these commands about the sparse index, we did not account
for the fact that the `cmd_*()` functions _can_ be called without a
gitdir, namely when `-h` is passed to show the usage.

A plausible approach to address this is to move the
`prepare_repo_settings()` calls right after the `parse_options()` calls:
The latter will never return when it handles `-h`, and therefore it is
safe to assume that we have a `gitdir` at that point, as long as the
built-in is marked with the `RUN_SETUP` flag.

However, it is unfortunately not that simple. In `cmd_pack_objects()`,
for example, the repo settings need to be fully populated so that the
command-line options `--sparse`/`--no-sparse` can override them, not the
other way round.

Therefore, we choose to imitate the strategy taken in `cmd_diff()`,
where we simply do not bother to prepare and initialize the repo
settings unless we have a `gitdir`.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3688

3013d98d7a pull --rebase: honor rebase.autostash when fast-forwarding
"pull --rebase" internally uses the merge machinery when the other
history is a descendant of ours (i.e. perform fast-forward).  This
came from [1], where the discussion was started from a feature
request to do so.  It is a bit hard to read the rationale behind it
in the discussion, but it seems that it was an established fact for
everybody involved that does not even need to be mentioned that
fast-forwarding done with "rebase" was much undesirable than done
with "merge", and more importantly, the result left by "merge" is as
good as (or better than) that by "rebase".

Except for one thing.  Because "git merge" does not (and should not)
honor rebase.autostash, "git pull" needs to read it and forward it
when we use "git merge" as a (hopefully better) substitute for "git
rebase" during the fast-forwarding.  But we forgot to do so (we only
add "--[no-]autostash" to the "git merge" command when "git pull" itself
was invoked with "--[no-]autostash" command line option.

Make sure "git merge" is run with "--autostash" when
rebase.autostash is set and used to fast-forward the history on
behalf of "git rebase".  Incidentally this change also takes care of
the case where

 - "git pull --rebase" (without other command line options) is run
 - "rebase.autostash" is not set
 - The history fast-forwards

In such a case, "git merge" is run with an explicit "--no-autostash"
to prevent it from honoring merge.autostash configuration, which is
what we want.  After all, we want the "git merge" to pretend as if
it is "git rebase" while being used for this purpose.

5a4e0547e2 fetch/pull: use the sparse index
The 'git fetch' and 'git pull' commands parse the index in order to
determine if submodules exist. Without command_requires_full_index=0,
this will expand a sparse index, causing slow performance even when
there is no new data to fetch.

The .gitmodules file will never be inside a sparse directory entry, and
even if it was, the index_name_pos() method would expand the sparse
index if needed as we search for the path by name. These commands do not
iterate over the index, which is the typical thing we are careful about
when integrating with the sparse index.

361cb52383 pull: --ff-only should make it a noop when already-up-to-date
Earlier, we made sure that "git pull --ff-only" (and "git -c
pull.ff=only pull") errors out when our current HEAD is not an
ancestor of the tip of the history we are merging, but the condition
to trigger the error was implemented incorrectly.

Imagine you forked from a remote branch, built your history on top
of it, and then attempted to pull from them again.  If they have not
made any update in the meantime, our current HEAD is obviously not
their ancestor, and this new error triggers.

Without the --ff-only option, we just report that there is no need
to pull; we did the same historically with --ff-only, too.

Make sure we do not fail with the recently added check to restore
the historical behaviour.

c4dee2c085 Close object store closer to spawning child processes
In many cases where we spawned child processes that _may_ trigger a
repack, we explicitly closed the object store first (so that the
`repack` process can delete the `.pack` files, which would otherwise not
be possible on Windows since files cannot be deleted as long as they as
still in use).

Wherever possible, we now use the new `close_object_store` bit of the
`run_command()` API, to delay closing the object store even further.
This makes the code easier to maintain because it is now more obvious
that we only release those file handles because of those child
processes.

7e44ff7a39 pull: release packs before fetching
On Windows, files cannot be removed nor renamed if there are still
handles held by a process. To remedy that, we try to release all open
handles to any `.pack` file before e.g. repacking (which would want to
remove the original `.pack` file(s) after it is done).

Since the `read_cache_unmerged()` and/or the `get_oid()` call in `git
pull` can cause `.pack` files to be opened, we need to release the open
handles before calling `git fetch`: the latter process might want to
spawn an auto-gc, which in turn might want to repack the objects.

This commit is similar in spirit to 5bdece0d70 (gc/repack: release
packs when needed, 2018-12-15).

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3336.

e4dc25ed49 pull: since --ff-only overrides, handle it first
There are both merge and rebase branches in the logic, and previously
both had to handle fast-forwarding.  Merge handled that implicitly
(because git merge handles it directly), while in rebase it was
explicit.  Given that the --ff-only flag is meant to override any
--rebase or --no-rebase, make the code reflect that by handling
--ff-only before the merge-vs-rebase logic.

It turns out that this also fixes a bug for submodules.  Previously,
when --ff-only was given, the code would run `merge --ff-only` on the
main module, and then run `submodule update --recursive --rebase` on the
submodules.  With this change, we still run `merge --ff-only` on the
main module, but now run `submodule update --recursive --checkout` on
the submodules.  I believe this better reflects the intent of --ff-only
to have it apply to both the main module and the submodules.

(Sidenote: It is somewhat interesting that all merges pass `--checkout`
to submodule update, even when `--no-ff` is specified, meaning that it
will only do fast-forward merges for submodules.  This was discussed in
commit a6d7eb2c7a ("pull: optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule
changes only)", 2017-06-23).  The same limitations apply now as then, so
we are not trying to fix this at this time.)

340062243a pull: cleanup autostash check
Currently "git pull --rebase" takes a shortcut in the case a
fast-forward merge is possible; run_merge() is called with --ff-only.

However, "git merge" didn't have an --autostash option, so, when "git
pull --rebase --autostash" was called *and* the fast-forward merge
shortcut was taken, then the pull failed.

This was fixed in commit f15e7cf5cc (pull: ff --rebase --autostash
works in dirty repo, 2017-06-01) by simply skipping the fast-forward
merge shortcut.

Later on "git merge" learned the --autostash option [a03b55530a
(merge: teach --autostash option, 2020-04-07)], and so did "git pull"
[d9f15d37f1 (pull: pass --autostash to merge, 2020-04-07)].

Therefore it's not necessary to skip the fast-forward merge shortcut
anymore when called with --rebase --autostash.

Let's always take the fast-forward merge shortcut by essentially
reverting f15e7cf5cc.

77a7ec6329 pull: refactor fast-forward check
We would like to be able to make this check before the decision to
rebase is made in a future step.  Besides, using a separate helper
makes the code easier to follow.

e01ae2a4a7 pull: colorize the hint about setting pull.rebase
In d18c950a69 (pull: warn if the user didn't say whether to rebase or
to merge, 2020-03-09), a new hint was introduced to encourage users to
make a conscious decision about whether they want their pull to merge or
to rebase by configuring the `pull.rebase` setting.

This warning was clearly intended to advise users, but as pointed out in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/87ima2rdsm.fsf%40evledraar.gmail.com, it
uses `warning()` instead of `advise()`.

One consequence is that the advice is not colorized in the same manner
as other, similar messages. So let's use `advise()` instead.

5176f20ffe pull: check for local submodule modifications with the right range
Ever since 'git pull' learned '--recurse-submodules' in a6d7eb2c7a
(pull: optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule changes only),
2017-06-23), we check if there are local submodule modifications by
checking the revision range 'curr_head --not rebase_fork_point'.

The goal of this check is to abort the pull if there are submodule
modifications in the local commits being rebased, since this scenario is
not supported.

However, the actual range of commits being rebased is not
'rebase_fork_point..curr_head', as the logic in
'get_rebase_newbase_and_upstream' reveals, it is 'upstream..curr_head'.

If the 'git merge-base --fork-point' invocation in
'get_rebase_fork_point' fails to find a fork point between the current
branch and the remote-tracking branch we are pulling from,
'rebase_fork_point' is null and since 4d36f88be7 (submodule: do not pass
null OID to setup_revisions, 2018-05-24), 'submodule_touches_in_range'
checks 'curr_head' and all its ancestors for submodule modifications.

Since it is highly likely that there are submodule modifications in this
range (which is in effect the whole history of the current branch), this
prevents 'git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules' from succeeding if no
fork point exists between the current branch and the remote-tracking
branch being pulled. This can happen, for example, when the current
branch was forked from a commit which was never recorded in the reflog
of the remote-tracking branch we are pulling, as the last two paragraphs
of the "Discussion on fork-point mode" section in git-merge-base(1)
explain.

Fix this bug by passing 'upstream' instead of 'rebase_fork_point' as the
'excl_oid' argument to 'submodule_touches_in_range'.

4f66d79ae3 pull --rebase: compute rebase arguments in separate function
The function 'run_rebase' is responsible for constructing the
command line to be passed to 'git rebase'. This includes both forwarding
pass-through options given to 'git pull' as well computing the <newbase>
and <upstream> arguments to 'git rebase'.

A following commit will need to access the <upstream> argument in
'cmd_pull' to fix a bug with 'git pull --rebase --recurse-submodules'.
In order to do so, refactor the code so that the <newbase> and
<upstream> commits are computed in a new, separate function,
'get_rebase_newbase_and_upstream'.

3abd4a67d9 Documentation: stylistically normalize references to Signed-off-by:
Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.

Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.

First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation.  So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.

The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425 (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line".  Commit 6f855371a5 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match.  Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.

Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon.  Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.

Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message".  As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.

However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.

d70a9eb611 strvec: rename struct fields
The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array,
but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use
for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well
when combined with typical variable names like "args.v").

Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing
tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to
rewrite unrelated tokens.

f6d8942b1f strvec: fix indentation in renamed calls
Code which split an argv_array call across multiple lines, like:

  argv_array_pushl(&args, "one argument",
                   "another argument", "and more",
		   NULL);

was recently mechanically renamed to use strvec, which results in
mis-matched indentation like:

  strvec_pushl(&args, "one argument",
                   "another argument", "and more",
		   NULL);

Let's fix these up to align the arguments with the opening paren. I did
this manually by sifting through the results of:

  git jump grep 'strvec_.*,$'

and liberally applying my editor's auto-format. Most of the changes are
of the form shown above, though I also normalized a few that had
originally used a single-tab indentation (rather than our usual style of
aligning with the open paren). I also rewrapped a couple of obvious
cases (e.g., where previously too-long lines became short enough to fit
on one), but I wasn't aggressive about it. In cases broken to three or
more lines, the grouping of arguments is sometimes meaningful, and it
wasn't worth my time or reviewer time to ponder each case individually.

22f9b7f3f5 strvec: convert builtin/ callers away from argv_array name
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).

This patch converts all of the files in builtin/ to keep the diff to a
manageable size.

The conversion was done purely mechanically with:

  git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
  xargs perl -i -pe '
    s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
    s/argv_array/strvec/g;
  '

and then selectively staging files with "git add builtin/". We'll deal
with any indentation/style fallouts separately.
