When displaying reference updates, we try to print the references in a
neat table. As the table's width is determined its contents we thus need
to precalculate the overall width before we can start printing updated
references.
The calculation is driven by `display_state_init()`, which invokes
`refcol_width()` for every reference that is to be printed. This split
is somewhat confusing. For one, we filter references that shall be
attributed to the overall width in both places. And second, we
needlessly recalculate the maximum line length based on the terminal
columns and display format for every reference.
Refactor the code so that the complete width calculations are neatly
contained in `refcol_width()`.

`store_updated_refs()` parses the remote reference for two purposes:
- It gets used as a note when writing FETCH_HEAD.
- It is passed through to `display_ref_update()` to display
updated references in the following format:
```
* branch master -> master
```
In most cases, the parsed remote reference is the prettified reference
name and can thus be used for both cases. But if the remote reference is
HEAD, the parsed remote reference becomes empty. This is intended when
we write the FETCH_HEAD, where we skip writing the note in that case.
But when displaying the updated references this leads to inconsistent
output where the left-hand side of reference updates is missing in some
cases:
```
$ git fetch origin HEAD HEAD:explicit-head :implicit-head main
From https://github.com/git/git
* branch HEAD -> FETCH_HEAD
* [new ref] -> explicit-head
* [new ref] -> implicit-head
* branch main -> FETCH_HEAD
```
This behaviour has existed ever since the table-based output has been
introduced for git-fetch(1) via 165f390250 (git-fetch: more terse fetch
output, 2007-11-03) and was never explicitly documented either in the
commit message or in any of our tests. So while it may not be a bug per
se, it feels like a weird inconsistency and not like it was a concious
design decision.
The logic of how we compute the remote reference name that we ultimately
pass to `display_ref_update()` is not easy to follow. There are three
different cases here:
- When the remote reference name is "HEAD" we set the remote
reference name to the empty string. This is the case that causes
the left-hand side to go missing, where we would indeed want to
print "HEAD" instead of the empty string. This is what
`prettify_refname()` would return.
- When the remote reference name has a well-known prefix then we
strip this prefix. This matches what `prettify_refname()` does.
- Otherwise, we keep the fully qualified reference name. This also
matches what `prettify_refname()` does.
As the return value of `prettify_refname()` would do the correct thing
for us in all three cases, we can thus fix the inconsistency by passing
through the full remote reference name to `display_ref_update()`, which
learns to call `prettify_refname()`. At the same time, this also
simplifies the code a bit.
Note that this patch also changes formatting of the block that computes
the "kind" (which is the category like "branch" or "tag") and "what"
(which is the prettified reference name like "master" or "v1.0")
variables. This is done on purpose so that it is part of the diff,
hopefully making the change easier to comprehend.

When running `git fetch --no-recurse-submodules`, the exectation is that
we don't fetch any submodules. And while this works for fetches of a
single remote, it doesn't when fetching multiple remotes at once. The
result is that we do recurse into submodules even though the user has
explicitly asked us not to.
This is because while we pass on `--recurse-submodules={yes,on-demand}`
if specified by the user, we don't pass on `--no-recurse-submodules` to
the subprocess spawned to perform the submodule fetch.
Fix this by also forwarding this flag as expected.

When handling "--strategy-option" rebase collects the commands into a
struct string_list, then concatenates them into a string, prepending "--"
to each one before splitting the string and removing the "--" prefix.
This is an artifact of the scripted rebase and the need to support
"rebase --preserve-merges". Now that "--preserve-merges" no-longer
exists we can cleanup the way the argument is handled.
The tests for a bad strategy option are adjusted now that
parse_strategy_opts() is no-longer called when starting a rebase. The
fact that it only errors out when running "git rebase --continue" is a
mixed blessing but the next commit will fix the root cause of the
parsing problem so lets not worry about that here.

The sequencer stores the merge strategy options in an array of strings
which allocated with ALLOC_GROW(). Using "struct strvec" avoids manually
managing the memory of that array and simplifies the code.
Aside from memory allocation the changes to the sequencer are largely
mechanical, changing xopts_nr to xopts.nr and xopts[i] to xopts.v[i]. A
new option parsing macro OPT_STRVEC() is also added to collect the
strategy options. Hopefully this can be used to simplify the code in
builtin/merge.c in the future.
Note that there is a change of behavior to "git cherry-pick" and "git
revert" as passing “--no-strategy-option” will now clear any previous
strategy options whereas before this change it did nothing.

When no merge.tool or diff.tool is configured or manually selected, the
selection of a default tool is sensitive to the DISPLAY variable; in a
GUI session a gui-specific tool will be proposed if found, and
otherwise a terminal-based one. This "GUI-optimizing" behavior is
important because a GUI can make a huge difference to a user's ability
to understand and correctly complete a non-trivial conflicting merge.
Some time ago the merge.guitool and diff.guitool config options were
introduced to enable users to configure both a GUI tool, and a non-GUI
tool (with fallback if no GUI tool configured), in the same environment.
Unfortunately, the --gui argument introduced to support the selection of
the guitool is still explicit. When using configured tools, there is no
equivalent of the no-tool-configured "propose a GUI tool if we are in a GUI
environment" behavior.
As proposed in <xmqqmtb8jsej.fsf@gitster.g>, introduce new configuration
options, difftool.guiDefault and mergetool.guiDefault, supporting a special
value "auto" which causes the corresponding tool or guitool to be selected
depending on the presence of a non-empty DISPLAY value. Also support "true"
to say "default to the guitool (unless --no-gui is passed on the
commandline)", and "false" as the previous default behavior when these new
configuration options are not specified.

again. We do not expect the bundle list to have new information during

A few commands don't take any options at all, and confirm this by
checking argc. After that they have no need to look at argv, but we're
still stuck with it by convention. Let's annotate these cases so that
the compiler doesn't complain with -Wunused-parameter.
Note that in scalar and get-tar-commit-id, we're forced to keep argv by
calling convention (the functions must match cmd_main() and builtin
cmd_foo() conventions, respectively). In diff, these are subcommand
modes that we call individually, so we _could_ just drop the argv
parameters entirely. But it's weird to pass argc without argv, and it
implies that the caller knows that the subcommands aren't interested in
further arguments. It's less confusing to just keep them and silence the
compiler warning.

All builtins receive a "prefix" parameter, but it is only useful if they
need to adjust filenames given by the user on the command line. For
builtins that do not even call parse_options(), they often don't look at
the prefix at all, and -Wunused-parameter complains.
Let's annotate those to silence the compiler warning. I gave a quick
scan of each of these cases, and it seems like they don't have anything
they _should_ be using the prefix for (i.e., there is no hidden bug that
we are missing). The only questionable cases I saw were:
- in git-unpack-file, we create a tempfile which will always be at the
root of the repository, even if the command is run from a subdir.
Arguably this should be created in the subdir from which we're run
(as we report the path only as a relative name). However, nobody has
complained, and I'm hesitant to change something that is deep
plumbing going back to April 2005 (though I think within our
scripts, the sole caller in git-merge-one-file would be OK, as it
moves to the toplevel itself).
- in fetch-pack, local-filesystem remotes are taken as relative to the
project root, not the current directory. So:
git init server.git
[...put stuff in server.git...]
git init client.git
cd client.git
mkdir subdir
cd subdir
git fetch-pack ../../server.git ...
won't work, as we quietly move to the top of the repository before
interpreting the path (so "../server.git" would work). This is
weird, but again, nobody has complained and this is how it has
always worked. And this is how "git fetch" works, too. Plus it
raises questions about how a configured remote like:
git config remote.origin.url ../server.git
should behave. I can certainly come up with a reasonable set of
behavior, but it may not be worth stirring up complications in a
plumbing tool.
So I've left the behavior untouched in both of those cases. If anybody
really wants to revisit them, it's easy enough to drop the UNUSED
marker. This commit is just about removing them as obstacles to turning
on -Wunused-parameter all the time.

It's usually a bad idea for a builtin's cmd_foo() to ignore the "prefix"
argument it gets, as it needs to prepend that string when accessing any
paths given by the user.
But if a builtin does not ask for the git wrapper to run repository
setup (via the RUN_SETUP or RUN_SETUP_GENTLY flags), then we know the
prefix will always be NULL (it is adjusting for the chdir() done during
repo setup, but there cannot be one if we did not set up the repo). In
those cases it's OK to ignore "prefix", but it's worth annotating for a
few reasons:
1. It serves as documentation to somebody reading the code about what
we expect.
2. If the flags in git.c ever change, the run-time assertion may help
detect the problem (though only if the command is run from a
subdirectory of the repository).
3. It notes to the compiler that we are OK ignoring "prefix". In
particular, this silences -Wunused-parameter. It _could_ also help
the compiler generate better code (because it will know the prefix
is NULL), but in practice this is quite unlikely to matter.
Note that I've only added this annotation to commands which triggered
-Wunused-parameter. It would be correct to add it to any builtin which
doesn't ask for RUN_SETUP, but most of the rest of them do the sensible
thing with "prefix" by passing it to parse_options(). So they're much
more likely to just work if they ever switched to RUN_SETUP, and aren't
worth annotating.

Our builtins receive a "prefix" argument as part of their cmd_foo()
function. We should always pass this to parse_options() if we're calling
it, as it may be used for OPT_FILENAME() options.
In the cases here, there's no option that would use it, so we're not
fixing any bug. This is just future-proofing and setting a good example
(plus quelling some -Wunused-parameter warnings).
Note in the case of revert/cherry-pick, that we plumb the prefix through

In cmd_fast_import(), we ignore the "prefix" argument entirely, even
though it tells us how we may have changed directory to the root of the
repository earlier in the process. Which means that if you run it from a
subdir and point to paths in the filesystem, like:
cd subdir
git fast-import --import-marks=foo <dump
then it will look for "foo" in the root of the repository, not the
current directory ("subdir/") which the user would have expected.
We can fix this by recording the prefix and using it as appropriate
whenever we open a file for reading or writing. I found each of these by
looking for cases where we call fopen() within fast-import.c, so this
should cover all cases. The new test triggers each one, as well as
making sure we don't accidentally apply the prefix when --relative-marks
is in use (since that option interprets some paths as relative to a
specific directory).

git_connect(): fix corner cases in downgrading v2 to v0
Fix a logic error in 4950b2a2b5 (for-each-repo: run subcommands on
configured repos, 2020-09-11). Due to assuming that elements returned
from the repo_config_get_value_multi() call wouldn't be "NULL" we'd
conflate the <path> and <command> part of the argument list when
running commands.
As noted in the preceding commit the fix is to move to a safer
"*_string_multi()" version of the *_multi() API. This change is
separated from the rest because those all segfaulted. In this change
we ended up with different behavior.
When using the "--config=<config>" form we take each element of the
list as a path to a repository. E.g. with a configuration like:
[repo] list = /some/repo
We would, with this command:
git for-each-repo --config=repo.list status builtin
Run a "git status" in /some/repo, as:
git -C /some/repo status builtin
I.e. ask "status" to report on the "builtin" directory. But since a
configuration such as this would result in a "struct string_list *"
with one element, whose "string" member is "NULL":
[repo] list
We would, when constructing our command-line in
"builtin/for-each-repo.c"...
strvec_pushl(&child.args, "-C", path, NULL);
for (i = 0; i < argc; i++)
strvec_push(&child.args, argv[i]);
...have that "path" be "NULL", and as strvec_pushl() stops when it
sees NULL we'd end with the first "argv" element as the argument to
the "-C" option, e.g.:
git -C status builtin
I.e. we'd run the command "builtin" in the "status" directory.
In another context this might be an interesting security
vulnerability, but I think that this amounts to a nothingburger on
that front.
A hypothetical attacker would need to be able to write config for the
victim to run, if they're able to do that there's more interesting
attack vectors. See the "safe.directory" facility added in
8d1a744820 (setup.c: create `safe.bareRepository`, 2022-07-14).
An even more unlikely possibility would be an attacker able to
generate the config used for "for-each-repo --config=<key>", but
nothing else (e.g. an automated system producing that list).
Even in that case the attack vector is limited to the user running
commands whose name matches a directory that's interesting to the
attacker (e.g. a "log" directory in a repository). The second
argument (if any) of the command is likely to make git die without
doing anything interesting (e.g. "-p" to "log", there being no "-p"
built-in command to run).

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

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.

As noted in 6c62f01552 (for-each-repo: do nothing on empty config,
2021-01-08) this command wants to ignore a non-existing config key,
but let's not conflate that with bad config.
Before this, all these added tests would pass with an exit code of 0.
We could preserve the comment added in 6c62f01552, but now that we're
directly using the documented repo_config_get_value_multi() value it's
just narrating something that should be obvious from the API use, so
let's drop it.

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.

As can easily be seen from grepping in our sources, we had these uses
of "the_repository" in various library code in cases where the
function in question was already getting a "struct repository *"
argument. Let's use that argument instead.
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
upload_pack_advertise(), as the in-flight [4] makes that change.

In preceding commits we changed many calls to macros that were
providing a "the_repository" argument to invoke corresponding repo_*()
function instead. Let's follow-up and adjust references to those in
comments, which coccinelle didn't (and inherently can't) catch.
