The git-diff(1) command can be used outside repositories to diff two
files with each other. But even if there is no repository we will end up
hashing the files that we are diffing so that we can print the "index"
line:
```
diff --git a/a b/b
index 7898192..6178079 100644
--- a/a
+++ b/b
@@ -1 +1 @@
-a
+b
```
We implicitly use SHA1 to calculate the hash here, which is because
`the_repository` gets initialized with SHA1 during the startup routine.
We are about to stop doing this though such that `the_repository` only
ever has a hash function when it was properly initialized via a repo's
configuration.
To give full control to our users, we would ideally add a new switch to
git-diff(1) that allows them to specify the hash function when executed
outside of a repository. But for now, we only convert the code to make
this explicit such that we can stop setting the default hash algorithm
for `the_repository`.

Verifying a bundle requires us to have a repository. This is encoded in
`verify_bundle()`, which will return an error if there is no repository.
We call `open_bundle()` before we call `verify_bundle()` though, which
already performs some verifications even though we may ultimately abort
due to a missing repository.
This is problematic because `open_bundle()` already reads the bundle
header and verifies that it contains a properly formatted hash. When
there is no repository we have no clue what hash function to expect
though, so we always end up assuming SHA1 here, which may or may not be
correct. Furthermore, we are about to stop initializing `the_hash_algo`
when there is no repository, which will lead to segfaults.

We access `the_hash_algo` in git-blame(1) before we have executed
`parse_options_start()`, which may not be properly set up in case we
have no repository. This is fine for most of the part because all the
call paths that lead to it (git-blame(1), git-annotate(1) as well as
git-pick-axe(1)) specify `RUN_SETUP` and thus require a repository.
There is one exception though, namely when passing `-h` to print the
help. Here we will access `the_hash_algo` even if there is no repo.
This works fine right now because `the_hash_algo` gets sets up to point
to the SHA1 algorithm via `initialize_repository()`. But we're about to
stop doing this, and thus the code would lead to a `NULL` pointer
exception.
Prepare the code for this and only access `the_hash_algo` after we are

The `--short=` option for git-rev-parse(1) allows the user to specify
to how many characters object IDs should be shortened to. The option is
broken though for SHA256 repositories because we set the maximum allowed
hash size to `the_hash_algo->hexsz` before we have even set up the repo.
Consequently, `the_hash_algo` will always be SHA1 and thus we truncate
every hash after at most 40 characters.
Fix this by accessing `the_hash_algo` only after we have set up the
repo.

The dumb HTTP transport tries to read the remote HEAD reference by
downloading the "HEAD" file and then parsing it via `http_fetch_ref()`.
This function will either parse the file as an object ID in case it is
exactly `the_hash_algo->hexsz` long, or otherwise it will check whether
the reference starts with "ref :" and parse it as a symbolic ref.
This is broken when parsing detached HEADs of a remote SHA256 repository
because we never update `the_hash_algo` to the discovered remote object
hash. Consequently, `the_hash_algo` will always be the fallback SHA1
hash algorithm, which will cause us to fail parsing HEAD altogteher when
it contains a SHA256 object ID.
Fix this issue by setting up `the_hash_algo` via `repo_set_hash_algo()`.
While at it, let's make the expected SHA1 fallback explicit in our code,
which also addresses an upcoming issue where we are going to remove the
SHA1 fallback for `the_hash_algo`.

If either the `--attr-source` option or the `GIT_ATTR_SOURCE` envvar are

as a treeish. It is possible to hit that function while outside of a Git
repository though, for example when using `git grep --no-index`. In that
case, Git will hit a bug because we try to look up the main ref store
outside of a repository.

The `default_attr_source()` function lazily computes the attr source
supposedly once, only. This is done via a static variable `attr_source`
that contains the resolved object ID of the attr source's tree. If the
variable is the null object ID then we try to look up the attr source,
otherwise we skip over it.
This approach is flawed though: the variable will never be set to
anything else but the null object ID in case there is no attr source.
Consequently, we re-compute the information on every call. And in the
worst case, when we silently ignore bad trees, this will cause us to try
and look up the treeish every single time.
Improve this by introducing a separate variable `has_attr_source` to
track whether we already computed the attr source and, if so, whether we
have an attr source or not.
This also allows us to convert the `ignore_bad_attr_tree` to not be
static anymore as the code will only be executed once anyway.

The `OPT__ABBREV()` option can be used to add an option that abbreviates
object IDs. When given a length longer than `the_hash_algo->hexsz`, then
it will instead set the length to that maximum length.
It may not always be guaranteed that we have `the_hash_algo` initialized
properly as the hash algorithm can only be set up after we have set up
`the_repository`. In that case, the hash would always be truncated to
the hex length of SHA1, which may not be what the user desires.
In practice it's not a problem as all commands that use `OPT__ABBREV()`
also have `RUN_SETUP` set and thus cannot work without a repository.
Consequently, both `the_repository` and `the_hash_algo` would be
properly set up.
Regardless of that, harden the code to not truncate the length when we
didn't set up a repository.

While `validate_headref()` is only called from `is_git_directory()` in

The `validate_headref()` function takes a path to a supposed "HEAD" file
and checks whether its format is something that we understand. It is
used as part of our repository discovery to check whether a specific
directory is a Git directory or not.
Part of the validation is a check for a detached HEAD that contains a
plain object ID. To do this validation we use `get_oid_hex()`, which
relies on `the_hash_algo`. At this point in time the hash algo cannot
yet be initialized though because we didn't yet read the Git config.
Consequently, it will always be the SHA1 hash algorithm.
In practice this works alright because `get_oid_hex()` only ends up
checking whether the prefix of the buffer is a valid object ID. And
because SHA1 is shorter than SHA256, the function will successfully
parse SHA256 object IDs, as well.
It is somewhat fragile though and not really the intent to only check
for SHA1. With this in mind, harden the code to use `get_oid_hex_any()`
to check whether the "HEAD" file parses as any known hash.
One might be hard pressed to tighten the check even further and fully
validate the file contents, not only the prefix. In practice though that
wouldn't make a lot of sense as it could be that the repository uses a
hash function that produces longer hashes than SHA256, but which the
current version of Git doesn't understand yet. We'd still want to detect
the repository as proper Git repository in that case, and we will fail
eventually with a proper error message that the hash isn't understood
when trying to set up the repository format.
It follows that we could just leave the current code intact, as in
practice the code change doesn't have any user visible impact. But it
also prepares us for `the_hash_algo` being unset when there is no
repository.

Newer versions of Ubuntu have dropped Python 2 starting with Ubuntu
23.04. By default though, our CI setups will try to use that Python
version on all Ubuntu-based jobs except for the "linux-gcc" one.
We didn't notice this issue due to two reasons:
- The "ubuntu:latest" tag always points to the latest LTS release.
Until a few weeks ago this was Ubuntu 22.04, which still had Python
2.
- Our Docker-based CI jobs had their own script to install
dependencies until 9cdeb34b96 (ci: merge scripts which install
dependencies, 2024-04-12), where we didn't even try to install
Python at all for many of them.
Since the CI refactorings have originally been implemented, Ubuntu
24.04 was released, and it being an LTS versions means that the "latest"
tag now points to that Python-2-less version. Consequently, those jobs
that use "ubuntu:latest" broke.
Address this by using Python 2 on Ubuntu 20.04, only, whereas we use
Python 3 on all other Ubuntu jobs. Eventually, we should think about
dropping support for Python 2 completely.

While git-config(1) has several modes, those modes are not exposed with
subcommands but instead by specifying action flags like `--unset` or
`--list`. This user interface is not really in line with how our more
modern commands work, where it is a lot more customary to say e.g. `git
remote list`. Furthermore, to add to the confusion, git-config(1) also
allows the user to request modes implicitly by just specifying the
correct number of arguments. Thus, `git config foo.bar` will retrieve
the value of "foo.bar" while `git config foo.bar baz` will set it to
"baz".
Overall, this makes for a confusing interface that could really use a
makeover. It hurts discoverability of what you can do with git-config(1)
and is comparatively easy to get wrong. Converting the command to have
subcommands instead would go a long way to help address these issues.
One concern in this context is backwards compatibility. Luckily, we can
introduce subcommands without breaking backwards compatibility at all.
This is because all the implicit modes of git-config(1) require that the
first argument is a properly formatted config key. And as config keys
_must_ have a dot in their name, any value without a dot would have been
discarded by git-config(1) previous to this change. Thus, given that
none of the subcommands do have a dot, they are unambiguous.
Introduce the first such new subcommand, which is "git config list". To
retain backwards compatibility we only conditionally use subcommands and
will fall back to the old syntax in case no subcommand was detected.
This should help to transition to the new-style syntax until we
eventually deprecate and remove the old-style syntax.
Note that the way we handle this we're duplicating some functionality
across old and new syntax. While this isn't pretty, it helps us to
ensure that there really is no change in behaviour for the old syntax.
Amend tests such that we run them both with old and new style syntax.
As tests are now run twice, state from the first run may be still be
around in the second run and thus cause tests to fail. Add cleanup logic
as required to fix such tests.

In doing so, plug a leak in `read_attr_from_index()` where we would
accidentally leak the large buffer upon detecting it is too large to
process.
(Since `read_attr_from_buf()` handles a NULL buffer input, we can remove
a NULL check before calling it in `read_attr_from_index()` as well).

GitLab CI does not have a job to check for whitespace errors introduced
by a set of changes. Reuse the existing generic `whitespace-check.sh` to
create the job for GitLab pipelines.
Note that the `$CI_MERGE_REQUEST_TARGET_BRANCH_SHA` variable is only
available in GitLab merge request pipelines and therefore the CI job is
configured to only run as part of those pipelines.

The `check-whitespace` CI job generates a formatted output file
containing whitespace error information. As not all CI providers support
rendering a formatted summary, make its generation optional.

The `check-whitespace` CI job is only available as a GitHub action. To
help enable this job with other CI providers, first separate the logic
performing the whitespace check into its own script. In subsequent
commits, this script is further generalized allowing its reuse.

When the `check-whitespace` CI job detects whitespace errors, a
formatted summary of the issue is generated. This summary contains links
to the commits and blobs responsible for the whitespace errors. The
generated links for blobs do not work and result in a 404.
Instead of using the reference name in the link, use the commit ID
directly. This fixes the broken link and also helps enable future
generalization of the script for other CI providers by removing one of
the GitHub specific CI variables used.

Sections of CI output defined by `begin_group()` and `end_group()` are
expanded in GitLab pipelines by default. This can make CI job output
rather noisy and harder to navigate. Update the behavior for GitLab
pipelines to now collapse sections by default.

Advice hints must be disabled individually by setting the relevant
advice.* variables to false in the Git configuration. For server-side
and scripted usages of Git where hints can be a hindrance, it can be
cumbersome to maintain configuration to ensure all advice hints are
disabled in perpetuity. This is a particular concern in tests, where
new or changed hints can result in failed assertions.
Add a --no-advice global option to disable all advice hints from being
displayed. This is independent of the toggles for individual advice
hints. Use an internal environment variable (GIT_ADVICE) to ensure this
configuration is propagated to the usage site, even if it executes in a
subprocess.

We'll be adding another option to the --no-* class of options soon.
Clean up the existing options by grouping them together in the OPTIONS
section, and adding missing ones to the SYNOPSIS.
