The "--super-prefix" facility was introduced in [1] has always been a
transitory hack, which is why we've made it an error to supply it as
an option to "git" to commands that don't know about it.
That's been a good goal, as it has a global effect we haven't wanted
calls to get_super_prefix() from built-ins we didn't expect.
But it has meant that when we've had chains of different built-ins
using it all of the processes in that "chain" have needed to support
it, and worse processes that don't need it have needed to ask for
"SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX" because their parent process needs it.
That's how "fsmonitor--daemon" ended up with it, per [2] it's called
from (among other things) "submodule--helper absorbgitdirs", but as we
declared "submodule--helper" as "SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX" we needed to
declare "fsmonitor--daemon" as accepting it too, even though it
doesn't care about it.
But in the case of "absorbgitdirs" it only needed "--super-prefix" to
invoke itself recursively, and we'd never have another "in-between"
process in the chain. So we didn't need the bigger hammer of "git
--super-prefix", and the "setenv(GIT_SUPER_PREFIX_ENVIRONMENT, ...)"
that it entails.
Let's instead accept a hidden "--super-prefix" option to
"submodule--helper absorbgitdirs" itself.
Eventually (as with all other "--super-prefix" users) we'll want to
clean this code up so that this all happens in-process. I.e. needing
any variant of "--super-prefix" is itself a hack around our various
global state, and implicit reliance on "the_repository". This stepping
stone makes such an eventual change easier, as we'll need to deal with
less global state at that point.
The "fsmonitor--daemon" test adjusted here was added in [3]. To assert
that it didn't run into the "--super-prefix" message it was asserting
the output it didn't have. Let's instead assert the full output that
we *do* have, using the same pattern as a preceding change to
"t/t7412-submodule-absorbgitdirs.sh" used.
We could also remove the test entirely (as [4] did), but even though
the initial reason for having it is gone we're still getting some
marginal benefit from testing the "fsmonitor" and "submodule
absorbgitdirs" interaction, so let's keep it.
The change here to have either a NULL or non-"" string as a
"super_prefix" instead of the previous arrangement of "" or non-"" is
somewhat arbitrary. We could also decide to never have to check for
NULL.
As we'll be changing the rest of the "git --super-prefix" users to the
same pattern, leaving them all consistent makes sense. Why not pick ""
over NULL? Because that's how the "prefix" works[5], and having
"prefix" and "super_prefix" work the same way will be less
confusing. That "prefix" picked NULL instead of "" is itself
arbitrary, but as it's easy to make this small bit of our overall API
consistent, let's go with that.

Start passing the "super_prefix" along as a parameter to
get_submodule_displaypath() and absorb_git_dir_into_superproject(),
rather than get the value directly as a global.
This is in preparation for subsequent commits, where we'll gradually
phase out get_super_prefix() for an alternative way of getting the
"super_prefix".
Most of the users of this get a get_super_prefix() value, either
directly or by indirection. The exceptions are:
- builtin/rm.c: Doesn't declare SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX, so we'd have
died if this was provided, so it's safe to pass "NULL".
- deinit_submodule(): The "deinit_submodule()" function has never been
able to use the "git -super-prefix". It will call
"absorb_git_dir_into_superproject()", but it will only do so from the
top-level project.
If "absorbgitdirs" recurses will use the "path" passed to
"absorb_git_dir_into_superproject()" in "deinit_submodule()" as its
starting "--super-prefix". So we can safely remove the
get_super_prefix() call here, and pass NULL instead.

pack-objects uses OPT_PARSE_LIST_OBJECTS_FILTER_INIT() to initialize the
a rev_info struct lazily before populating its filter member using the
--filter option values. It tracks whether the initialization is needed
using the .have_revs member of the callback data.
There is a better way: Use a stand-alone list_objects_filter_options
struct and build a rev_info struct with its .filter member after option
parsing. This allows using the simpler OPT_PARSE_LIST_OBJECTS_FILTER()
and getting rid of the extra callback mechanism.
Even simpler would be using a struct rev_info as before 5cb28270a1
(pack-objects: lazily set up "struct rev_info", don't leak, 2022-03-28),
but that would expose a memory leak caused by repo_init_revisions()
followed by release_revisions() without a setup_revisions() call in
between.
Using list_objects_filter_options also allows pushing the rev_info
struct into get_object_list(), where it arguably belongs. Either way,
this is all left for later.

correctly with a variable defined in git_vars -- provided that its
read() function returned NULL.
Now, we only print usage() only if it was called with a logical
variable that wasn't defined -- regardless of read().
Since we now know the variable is valid when we call read_var(), we
can avoid printing usage() here (and exiting with code 129) and
instead exit quietly with code 1. While exiting with a different code
can be a breaking change, it's far better than changing the exit

For a lot of uses of UNLEAK() it would be quite tricky to release the
memory involved, or we're missing the relevant *_(release|clear)()
functions. But in these cases we have them already, and can just
invoke them on the variable(s) involved, instead of UNLEAK().
For "builtin/worktree.c" the UNLEAK() was also added in [1], but the
struct member it's unleaking was removed in [2]. The only non-"int"
member of that structure is "const char *keep_locked", which comes to
us via "argv" or a string literal[3].
We have good visibility via the compiler and
tooling (e.g. SANITIZE=address) on bad free()-ing, but none on
UNLEAK() we don't need anymore. So let's prefer releasing the memory
when it's easy.
For "bugreport", "worktree" and "config" we need to start using a "ret
= ..." return pattern. For "builtin/bugreport.c" these UNLEAK() were
added in [4], and for "builtin/config.c" in [1].
For "config" the code seen here was the only user of the "value"
variable. For "ACTION_{RENAME,REMOVE}_SECTION" we need to be sure to
return the right exit code in the cases where we were relying on
falling through to the top-level.
I think there's still a use-case for UNLEAK(), but hat it's changed
since then. Using it so that "we can see the real leaks" is
counter-productive in these cases.
It's more useful to have UNLEAK() be a marker of the remaining odd
cases where it's hard to free() the memory for whatever reason. With
this change less than 20 of them remain in-tree.

Fix a leak in the recent 6159e7add4 (rebase --abort: improve reflog
message, 2022-10-12). Before that commit we'd strbuf_release() the
reflog message we were formatting, but when that code was refactored
to use "ropts.head_msg" the strbuf_release() was omitted.
Ideally the three users of "ropts" in cmd_rebase() should use
different "ropts" variables, in practice they're completely separate,
as this and the other user in the "switch" statement will "goto
cleanup", which won't touch "ropts".
The third caller after the "switch" is then unreachable if we take
these two branches, so all of them are getting a "{ 0 }" init'd
"ropts".
So it's OK that we're leaving a stale pointer in "ropts.head_msg",
cleaning it up was our responsibility, and it won't be used again.

The read_cache() in prepare_to_commit() would end up clobbering the
pointer we had for a previously populated "the_index.cache_tree" in
the very common case of "git commit" stressed by e.g. the tests being
changed here.
We'd populate "the_index.cache_tree" by calling
"update_main_cache_tree" in prepare_index(), but would not end up with
a "fully prepared" index. What constitutes an existing index is
clearly overly fuzzy, here we'll check "active_nr" (aka
"the_index.cache_nr"), but our "the_index.cache_tree" might have been
malloc()'d already.
Thus the code added in 11c8a74a64 (commit: write cache-tree data when
writing index anyway, 2011-12-06) would end up allocating the
"cache_tree", and would interact here with code added in
7168624c35 (Do not generate full commit log message if it is not

Avoid calling 'cache_tree_update()' when doing so would be redundant.

"git repack" learns to send cruft objects out of the way into
packfiles outside the repository.
* tb/repack-expire-to:
builtin/repack.c: implement `--expire-to` for storing pruned objects
builtin/repack.c: write cruft packs to arbitrary locations
builtin/repack.c: pass "cruft_expiration" to `write_cruft_pack`
builtin/repack.c: pass "out" to `prepare_pack_objects`
When serving a push, git-receive-pack(1) needs to verify that the
packfile sent by the client contains all objects that are required by
the updated references. This connectivity check works by marking all
preexisting references as uninteresting and using the new reference tips
as starting point for a graph walk.
Marking all preexisting references as uninteresting can be a problem
when it comes to performance. Git forges tend to do internal bookkeeping
to keep alive sets of objects for internal use or make them easy to find
via certain references. These references are typically hidden away from
the user so that they are neither advertised nor writeable. At GitLab,
we have one particular repository that contains a total of 7 million
references, of which 6.8 million are indeed internal references. With
the current connectivity check we are forced to load all these
references in order to mark them as uninteresting, and this alone takes
around 15 seconds to compute.
We can optimize this by only taking into account the set of visible refs
when marking objects as uninteresting. This means that we may now walk
more objects until we hit any object that is marked as uninteresting.
But it is rather unlikely that clients send objects that make large
parts of objects reachable that have previously only ever been hidden,
whereas the common case is to push incremental changes that build on top
of the visible object graph.
This provides a huge boost to performance in the mentioned repository,
where the vast majority of its refs hidden. Pushing a new commit into
this repo with `transfer.hideRefs` set up to hide 6.8 million of 7 refs
as it is configured in Gitaly leads to a 4.5-fold speedup:
Benchmark 1: main
Time (mean ± σ): 30.977 s ± 0.157 s [User: 30.226 s, System: 1.083 s]
Range (min … max): 30.796 s … 31.071 s 3 runs
Benchmark 2: pks-connectivity-check-hide-refs
Time (mean ± σ): 6.799 s ± 0.063 s [User: 6.803 s, System: 0.354 s]
Range (min … max): 6.729 s … 6.850 s 3 runs
Summary
'pks-connectivity-check-hide-refs' ran
4.56 ± 0.05 times faster than 'main'
As we mostly go through the same codepaths even in the case where there
are no hidden refs at all compared to the code before there is no change
in performance when no refs are hidden:
Benchmark 1: main
Time (mean ± σ): 48.188 s ± 0.432 s [User: 49.326 s, System: 5.009 s]
Range (min … max): 47.706 s … 48.539 s 3 runs
Benchmark 2: pks-connectivity-check-hide-refs

Add a new `--exclude-hidden=` option that is similar to the one we just
added to git-rev-list(1). Given a section name `uploadpack` or `receive`
as argument, it causes us to exclude all references that would be hidden
by the respective `$section.hideRefs` configuration.

Users can optionally hide refs from remote users in git-upload-pack(1),
git-receive-pack(1) and others via the `transfer.hideRefs`, but there is
not an easy way to obtain the list of all visible or hidden refs right
now. We'll require just that though for a performance improvement in our
connectivity check.
Add a new option `--exclude-hidden=` that excludes any hidden refs from
the next pseudo-ref like `--all` or `--branches`.

The functions that handle exclusion of refs work on a single string
list. We're about to add a second mechanism for excluding refs though,
and it makes sense to reuse much of the same architecture for both kinds
of exclusion.
Introduce a new `struct ref_exclusions` that encapsulates all the logic
related to excluding refs and move the `struct string_list` that holds
all wildmatch patterns of excluded refs into it. Rename functions that
operate on this struct to match its name.

We're about to add a new argument to git-rev-list(1) that allows it to
add all references that are visible when taking `transfer.hideRefs` et
al into account. This will require us to potentially parse multiple sets
of hidden refs, which is not easily possible right now as there is only
a single, global instance of the list of parsed hidden refs.
Refactor `parse_hide_refs_config()` and `ref_is_hidden()` so that both
take the list of hidden references as input and adjust callers to keep a
local list, instead. This allows us to easily use multiple hidden-ref
lists. Furthermore, it allows us to properly free this list before we
exit.

When `git notes` prepares the template it adds an empty newline between
the comment header and the content:
>
> #
> # Write/edit the notes for the following object:
>
> # commit 0f3c55d4c2
> # etc
This is wrong structurally because that newline is part of the comment,
too, and thus should be commented. Also, it throws off some positioning
strategies of editors and plugins, and it differs from how we do commit
templates.
Change this to follow the standard set by `git commit`:
>
> #
> # Write/edit the notes for the following object:
> #
> # commit 0f3c55d4c2
>
Tests pass unchanged after this code change.
