Kousik Sanagavarapu f5d18f8c0e ref-filter: add new "describe" atom
Duplicate the logic of %(describe) and friends from pretty to
ref-filter. In the future, this change helps in unifying both the
formats as ref-filter will be able to do everything that pretty is doing
and we can have a single interface.

The new atom "describe" and its friends are equivalent to the existing
pretty formats with the same name.

Taylor Blau 8255dd8a3d builtin/for-each-ref.c: add --exclude option
When using `for-each-ref`, it is sometimes convenient for the caller to
be able to exclude certain parts of the references.

For example, if there are many `refs/__hidden__/*` references, the
caller may want to emit all references *except* the hidden ones.
Currently, the only way to do this is to post-process the output, like:

    $ git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' | grep -v '^refs/hidden/'

Which is do-able, but requires processing a potentially large quantity
of references.

Teach `git for-each-ref` a new `--exclude=<pattern>` option, which
excludes references from the results if they match one or more excluded
patterns.

This patch provides a naive implementation where the `ref_filter` still
sees all references (including ones that it will discard) and is left to
check whether each reference matches any excluded pattern(s) before
emitting them.

By culling out references we know the caller doesn't care about, we can
avoid allocating memory for their storage, as well as spending time
sorting the output (among other things). Even the naive implementation
provides a significant speed-up on a modified copy of linux.git (that
has a hidden ref pointing at each commit):

    $ hyperfine \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"' \
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/'
    Benchmark 1: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"
      Time (mean ± σ):     820.1 ms ±   2.0 ms    [User: 703.7 ms, System: 152.0 ms]
      Range (min … max):   817.7 ms … 823.3 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/
      Time (mean ± σ):     106.6 ms ±   1.1 ms    [User: 99.4 ms, System: 7.1 ms]
      Range (min … max):   104.7 ms … 109.1 ms    27 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" --exclude refs/pull/' ran
        7.69 ± 0.08 times faster than 'git.compile for-each-ref --format="%(objectname) %(refname)" | grep -vE "[0-9a-f]{40} refs/pull/"'

Subsequent patches will improve on this by avoiding visiting excluded
sections of the `packed-refs` file in certain cases.

brian m. carlson ed773a18c6 var: add config file locations
Much like with attributes files, sometimes programs would like to know
the location of configuration files at the global or system levels.
However, it isn't always clear where these may live, especially for the
system file, which may have been hard-coded at compile time or computed
dynamically based on the runtime prefix.

Since other parties cannot intuitively know how Git was compiled and
where it looks for these files, help them by providing variables that
can be queried.  Because we have multiple paths for global config
values, print them in order from highest to lowest priority, and be sure
to split on newlines so that "git var -l" produces two entries for the
global value.

However, be careful not to split all values on newlines, since our
editor values could well contain such characters, and we don't want to
split them in such a case.

Note in the documentation that some values may contain multiple paths
and that callers should be prepared for that fact.  This helps people
write code that will continue to work in the event we allow multiple
items elsewhere in the future.

brian m. carlson 576a37fccb var: add attributes files locations
Currently, there are some programs which would like to read and parse
the gitattributes files at the global or system levels.  However, it's
not always obvious where these files live, especially for the system
file, which may have been hard-coded at compile time or computed
dynamically based on the runtime prefix.

It's not reasonable to expect all callers of Git to intuitively know
where the Git distributor or user has configured these locations to
be, so add some entries to allow us to determine their location.  Honor
the GIT_ATTR_NOSYSTEM environment variable if one is specified.  Expose
the accessor functions in a way that we can reuse them from within the
var code.

In order to make our paths consistent on Windows and also use the same
form as paths use in "git rev-parse", let's normalize the path before we
return it.  This results in Windows-style paths that use slashes, which
is convenient for making our tests function in a consistent way across
platforms.  Note that this requires that some of our values be freed, so
let's add a flag about whether the value needs to be freed and use it
accordingly.

brian m. carlson 1e65721227 var: add support for listing the shell
On most Unix systems, finding a suitable shell is easy: one simply uses
"sh" with an appropriate PATH value.  However, in many Windows
environments, the shell is shipped alongside Git, and it may or may not
be in PATH, even if Git is.

In such an environment, it can be very helpful to query Git for the
shell it's using, since other tools may want to use the same shell as
well.  To help them out, let's add a variable, GIT_SHELL_PATH, that
points to the location of the shell.

On Unix, we know our shell must be executable to be functional, so
assume that the distributor has correctly configured their environment,
and use that as a basic test.  On Git for Windows, we know that our
shell will be one of a few fixed values, all of which end in "sh" (such
as "bash").  This seems like it might be a nice test on Unix as well,
since it is customary for all shells to end in "sh", but there probably
exist such systems that don't have such a configuration, so be careful
here not to break them.

Junio C Hamano 2b7b788fb3 ll-merge: killing the external merge driver aborts the merge
When an external merge driver dies with a signal, we should not
expect that the result left on the filesystem is in any useful
state.  However, because the current code uses the return value from
run_command() and declares any positive value as a sign that the
driver successfully left conflicts in the result, and because the
return value from run_command() for a subprocess that died upon a
signal is positive, we end up treating whatever garbage left on the
filesystem as the result the merge driver wanted to leave us.

run_command() returns larger than 128 (WTERMSIG(status) + 128, to be
exact) when it notices that the subprocess died with a signal, so
detect such a case and return LL_MERGE_ERROR from ll_ext_merge().

Elijah Newren 6723899932 merge-ll: rename from ll-merge
A long term (but rather minor) pet-peeve of mine was the name
ll-merge.[ch].  I thought it made it harder to realize what stuff was
related to merging when I was working on the merge machinery and trying
to improve it.

Further, back in d1cbe1e6d8 ("hash-ll.h: split out of hash.h to remove
dependency on repository.h", 2023-04-22), we have split the portions of
hash.h that do not depend upon repository.h into a "hash-ll.h" (due to
the recommendation to use "ll" for "low-level" in its name[1], but which
I used as a suffix precisely because of my distaste for "ll-merge").
When we discussed adding additional "*-ll.h" files, a request was made
that we use "ll" consistently as either a prefix or a suffix.  Since it
is already in use as both a prefix and a suffix, the only way to do so
is to rename some files.

Besides my distaste for the ll-merge.[ch] name, let me also note that
the files
  ll-fsmonitor.h, ll-hash.h, ll-merge.h, ll-object-store.h, ll-read-cache.h
would have essentially nothing to do with each other and make no sense
to group.  But giving them the common "ll-" prefix would group them.  Using
"-ll" as a suffix thus seems just much more logical to me.  Rename
ll-merge.[ch] to merge-ll.[ch] to achieve this consistency, and to
ensure we get a more logical grouping of files.

Elijah Newren bc5c5ec044 cache.h: remove this no-longer-used header
Since this header showed up in some places besides just #include
statements, update/clean-up/remove those other places as well.

Note that compat/fsmonitor/fsm-path-utils-darwin.c previously got
away with violating the rule that all files must start with an include
of git-compat-util.h (or a short-list of alternate headers that happen
to include it first).  This change exposed the violation and caused it
to stop building correctly; fix it by having it include
git-compat-util.h first, as per policy.
