The purpose of a mergetool is to help the user resolve any conflicts
that Git cannot automatically resolve. If there is a conflict that must
be resolved manually Git will write a file named MERGED which contains
everything Git was able to resolve by itself and also everything that it
was not able to resolve wrapped in conflict markers.
One way to think of MERGED is as a two- or three-way diff. If each
"side" of the conflict markers is separately extracted an external tool
can represent those conflicts as a side-by-side diff.
However many mergetools instead diff LOCAL and REMOTE both of which
contain versions of the file from before the merge. Since the conflicts
Git resolved automatically are not present it forces the user to
manually re-resolve those conflicts. Some mergetools also show MERGED
but often only for reference and not as the focal point to resolve the
conflicts.
This adds a `mergetool.hideResolved` flag that will overwrite LOCAL and
REMOTE with each corresponding "side" of a conflicted file and thus hide
all conflicts that Git was able to resolve itself. Overwriting these
files will immediately benefit any mergetool that uses them without
requiring any changes to the tool.
No adverse effects were noted in a small survey of popular mergetools[1]
so this behavior defaults to `true`. However it can be globally disabled
by setting `mergetool.hideResolved` to `false`.

test_perf() runs each test in its own subshell which makes it difficult
to persist variables between tests. test_export() addresses this
shortcoming by grabbing the values of specified variables after a test
runs but before the subshell exits, and writes those values to a file
which is loaded into the environment of subsequent tests.
To grab the values to be persisted, test_export() pipes the output of
the shell's builtin `set` command through `sed` which plucks them out
using a regular expression along the lines of `s/^(var1|var2)/.../p`.
Unfortunately, though, this use of alternation is not portable. For
instance, BSD-lineage `sed` (including macOS `sed`) does not support it
in the default "basic regular expression" mode (BRE). It may be possible
to enable "extended regular expression" mode (ERE) in some cases with
`sed -E`, however, `-E` is neither portable nor part of POSIX.
Fortunately, alternation is unnecessary in this case and can easily be
avoided, so replace it with a series of simple expressions such as
`s/^var1/.../p;s/^var2/.../p`.
While at it, tighten the expressions so they match the variable names
exactly rather than matching prefixes (i.e. use `s/^var1=/.../p`).
If the requirements of test_export() become more complex in the future,
then an alternative would be to replace `sed` with `perl` which supports
alternation on all platforms, however, the simple elimination of
alternation via multiple `sed` expressions suffices for the present.

To give ample warning for users wishing to override Git's the fall-back
for an unconfigured `init.defaultBranch` (in case we decide to change it
in a future Git version), let's introduce some advice that is shown upon
`git init` when that value is not set.
Note: two test cases in Git's test suite want to verify that the
`stderr` output of `git init` is empty. It is now necessary to suppress
the advice, we now do that via the `init.defaultBranch` setting. While
not strictly necessary, we also set this to `false` in
`test_create_repo()`.

To allow us to consider a change in the default behavior of `git init`
where it uses a more inclusive name for the initial branch, we must
first teach the test suite not to rely on a specific default branch
name. In this patch, we teach t7064 that trick.
To that end, we set a specific name for the initial branch. Ideally, we
would simply start out by calling `git branch -M initial-branch`, but
there is a bug in `git branch -M` that does not allow renaming branches
unless they already have commits. This will be fixed in the
`js/init-defaultbranch-advice` topic, and until that time, we use the
equivalent (but less intuitive) `git checkout -f --orphan`.

Our test suite currently only passes when `git init` uses the name
`master` for the initial branch. This would stop us from changing the
default branch name.
Let's adjust t6300 so that it does not rely on any specific default
branch name. This trick is done by (force-)renaming the initial branch
to the name `main` in the `setup` and the `:remotename and :remoteref`
test cases, and then replacing all mentions of `master` and `MASTER`
with `main` and `MAIN`, respectively.

Our tests for handling duplicates in oid-array provide only a single
duplicate for each number, so our sorted array looks like:
44 44 55 55 88 88 aa aa
A slightly more interesting test is to have multiple duplicates, which
makes sure that we not only skip the duplicate, but keep skipping until
we are out of the set of matching duplicates.
Unsurprisingly this works just fine, but it's worth beefing up this test
since we're about to change the duplicate-detection code.
Note that we do need to adjust the results on the lookup test, since it
is returning the index of the found item (and now we have more items
before our range, and the range itself is slightly larger, since we'll
accept a match of any element).

Initially, we started converting this test script in anticipation for
renaming the default branch name to `main`. To that end, we partially
converted it to accommodate for that default branch name, marking the
now-failing test cases with a prereq that was designed to be fulfilled
once the rename was complete.
However, the effort to move to the branch name `main` needs quite a bit
longer, as it was decided that we need a deprecation phase first.
To avoid keeping t5526 in limbo for such a long time, we just made it
independent of the actual default branch name used by Git. Therefore,
that prereq is no longer necessary, and we can drop it.

While at it, use different default branch names for the three different
repositories involved in the test script: this makes it easier to debug
failures, too (otherwise you have to wonder which `master` branch was
meant: the super project's? The submodule's? The nested submodule's?).
Note: this touches code that was originally modified to prepare for
renaming the default branch name to `main`. This patch side-steps that
effort completely by overriding the initial branch name explicitly.

To keep track of which object filters are allowed or not, 'git
upload-pack' stores the name of each filter in a string_list, and sets
it ->util pointer to be either 0 or 1, indicating whether it is banned
or allowed.
Later on, we attempt to clear that list, but we incorrectly ask for the
util pointers to be free()'d, too. This behavior (introduced back in
6dd3456a8c (upload-pack.c: allow banning certain object filter(s),
2020-08-03)) leads to an invalid free, and causes us to crash.
In order to trigger this, one needs to fetch from a server that (a) has
at least one object filter allowed, and (b) issue a fetch that contains
a subset of the allowed filters (i.e., we cannot ask for a banned
filter, since this causes us to die() before we hit the bogus
string_list_clear()).
In that case, whatever banned filters exist will cause a noop free()
(since those ->util pointers are set to 0), but the first allowed filter
we try to free will crash us.
We never noticed this in the tests because we didn't have an example of
setting 'uploadPackFilter' configuration variables and then following up
with a valid fetch. The first new 'git clone' prevents further
regression here. For good measure on top, add a test which checks the
same behavior at a tree depth greater than 0.

Ralf Thielow reports that "git fetch" with submodule.recurse set can
result in a bogus and infinitely recursive fetching of the same
submodule.
core.sharedRepository defines which permissions Git should set when
creating files in $GIT_DIR, so that the repository may be shared with
other users. But (in its current form) the setting shouldn't affect how
files are created in the working tree. This is not respected by apply
and am (which uses apply), when creating leading directories:
$ cat d.patch
diff --git a/d/f b/d/f
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..e69de29
Apply without the setting:
$ umask 0077
$ git apply d.patch
$ ls -ld d
drwx------
Apply with the setting:
$ umask 0077
$ git -c core.sharedRepository=0770 apply d.patch
$ ls -ld d
drwxrws---
Only the leading directories are affected. That's because they are
created with safe_create_leading_directories(), which calls
adjust_shared_perm() to set the directories' permissions based on
core.sharedRepository. To fix that, let's introduce a variant of this
function that ignores the setting, and use it in apply. Also add a
regression test and a note in the function documentation about the use
of each variant according to the destination (working tree or git
dir).

A test marked with EXPENSIVE creates two 2.5GB files and adds them to
the repository. This takes 194s to run on my machine, versus 2s when the
EXPENSIVE prereq isn't set. We can trim this down a bit by doing two
things:
- use "git commit --quiet" to avoid spending time generating a diff
summary (this actually only helps for the second commit, but I've
added it here to both for consistency). This shaves off 8s.
- set core.compression to 0. We know these files are full of random
bytes, and so won't compress (that's the point of the test!).
Spending cycles on zlib is pointless. This shaves off 122s.
After this, my total time to run the script is 64s. That won't help
normal runs without GIT_TEST_LONG set, of course, but it's easy enough
