sloppy. This has been corrected.

This patch adds support for Visual Studio and Clang builds
The minimum required version of CMake is upgraded to 3.15 because
this version offers proper support for Clang builds on Windows.
Libintl is not searched for when building with Visual Studio or Clang
because there is no binary compatible version available yet.
NOTE: In the link options invalidcontinue.obj has to be included.
The reason for this is because by default, Windows calls abort()'s
instead of setting errno=EINVAL when invalid arguments are passed to
standard functions.
This commit explains it in detail:
4b623d80f7
On Windows the default generator is Visual Studio,so for Visual Studio
builds do this:
cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir`
NOTE: Visual Studio generator is a multi config generator, which means
that Debug and Release builds can be done on the same build directory.
For Clang builds do this:
On bash
CC=clang cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G Ninja
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug or Release]
On cmd
set CC=Clang
cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G Ninja

This patch provides an alternate way to test git using ctest.
CTest ships with CMake, so there is no additional dependency being
introduced.
To perform the tests with ctest do this after building:
ctest -j[number of jobs]
NOTE: -j is optional, the default number of jobs is 1
Each of the jobs does this:
cd t/ && sh t[something].sh
The reason for using CTest is that it logs the output of the tests
in a neat way, which can be helpful during diagnosis of failures.
After the tests have run ctest generates three log files located in
`build-directory`/Testing/Temporary/
These log files are:
CTestCostData.txt:
This file contains the time taken to complete each test.
LastTestsFailed.log:
This log file contains the names of the tests that have failed in the
run.
LastTest.log:
This log file contains the log of all the tests that have run.
A snippet of the file is given below.

git-prompt includes the current branch, a bunch of single character
mini-state displayers, and some much longer in-progress state
notifications. The current branch is always shown. The single
character mini-state displayers are all off by default (they are not
self explanatory) but each has an environment variable for turning it
on. The in-progress state notifications provide no configuration
options for turning them off, and can be up to 15 characters long (e.g.
"|REBASE (12/18)" or "|CHERRY-PICKING").
The single character mini-state tends to be used for things like "Do you
have any stashes in refs/stash?" or "Are you ahead or behind of
upstream?". These are things which users can take advantage of but do
not affect most normal git operations. The in-progress states, by
contrast, suggest the user needs to interact differently and may also
prevent some normal operations from succeeding (e.g. git switch may show
an error instead of switching branches).
Sparsity is like the in-progress states in that it suggests a
fundamental different interaction with the repository (many of the files
from the repository are not present in your working copy!). A few
commits ago added sparsity information to wt_longstatus_print_state(),
grouping it with other in-progress state displays. We do similarly here
with the prompt and show the extra state, by default, with an extra
|SPARSE
This state can be present simultaneously with the in-progress states, in
which case it will appear before the other states; for example,
(branchname|SPARSE|REBASE 6/10)
The reason for showing the "|SPARSE" substring before other states is to
emphasize those other states. Sparsity is probably not going to change
much within a repository, while temporary operations will. So we want
the state changes related to temporary operations to be listed last, to
make them appear closer to where the user types and make them more
likely to be noticed.
The fact that sparsity isn't just cached metadata or additional
information is what leads us to show it more similarly to the
in-progress states, but the fact that sparsity is not transient like the
in-progress states might cause some users to want an abbreviated
notification of sparsity state or perhaps even be able to turn it off.
Allow GIT_PS1_COMPRESSSPARSESTATE to be set to request that it be
shortened to a single character ('?'), and GIT_PS1_OMITSPARSESTATE to be
set to request that sparsity state be omitted from the prompt entirely.

At the moment, the recommended way to configure Git's builds is to
simply run `make`. If that does not work, the recommended strategy is to
look at the top of the `Makefile` to see whether any "Makefile knob" has
to be turned on/off, e.g. `make NO_OPENSSL=YesPlease`.
Alternatively, Git also has an `autoconf` setup which allows configuring
builds via `./configure [<option>...]`.
Both of these options are fine if the developer works on Unix or Linux.
But on Windows, we have to jump through hoops to configure a build
(read: we force the user to install a full Git for Windows SDK, which
occupies around two gigabytes (!) on disk and downloads about three
quarters of a gigabyte worth of Git objects).
The build infrastructure for Git is written around being able to run
make, which is not supported natively on Windows.
To help Windows developers a CMake build script is introduced here.
With a working support CMake, developers on Windows need only install
CMake, configure their build, load the generated Visual Studio solution
and immediately start modifying the code and build their own version of
Git. Likewise, developers on other platforms can use the convenient GUI
tools provided by CMake to configure their build.
So let's start building CMake support for Git.
This is only the first step, and to make it easier to review, it only
allows for configuring builds on the platform that is easiest to
configure for: Linux.
The CMake script checks whether the headers are present(eg. libgen.h),
whether the functions are present(eg. memmem), whether the funtions work
properly (eg. snprintf) and generate the required compile definitions
for the platform. The script also searches for the required libraries,
if it fails to find the required libraries the respective executables
won't be built.(eg. If libcurl is not found then git-remote-http won't
be built). This will help building Git easier.
With a CMake script an out of source build of git is possible resulting
in a clean source tree.
Note: this patch asks for the minimum version v3.14 of CMake (which is
not all that old as of time of writing) because that is the first
version to offer a platform-independent way to generate hardlinks as
part of the build. This is needed to generate all those hardlinks for
the built-in commands of Git.

The command line completion script (in contrib/) tried to complete
"git stash -p" as if it were "git stash push -p", but it was too
aggressive and also affected "git stash show -p", which has been
corrected.
* vs/complete-stash-show-p-fix:
completion: don't override given stash subcommand with -p
The --orphan option is used to create a local branch which is detached
from the current history. In git switch, it always resets to the empty
tree, and thus the only completion we can provide is a branch name.
Follow the same rules for -c/-C (and -b/-B) when completing the argument
to --orphan.
In the case of git switch, after we complete the argument, there is
nothing more we can complete for git switch, so do not even try. Nothing
else would be valid.
In the case of git checkout, --orphan takes a start point which it uses
to determine the checked out tree, even though it created orphaned
history.

A previous commit added several test cases highlighting the subpar
completion logic for -c/-C and -b/-B when completing git switch and git
checkout.
In order to distinguish completing the argument vs the start-point for
this option, we now use the wordlist to determine the previous full word
on the command line.
If it's -c or -C (-b/-B for checkout), then we know that we are
completing the argument for the branch name.
Given that a user who already knows the branch name they want to
complete will simply not use completion, it makes sense to complete the
small subset of local branches when completing the argument for -c/-C.
In all other cases, if -c/-C are on the command line but are not the
most recent option, then we must be completing a start-point, and should
allow completing against all references.
Update the -c/-C and -b/-B tests to indicate they now pass.

Current completion for the --track option of git switch and git checkout
is sub par. In addition to the DWIM logic of a bare branch name, --track
has DWIM logic to convert specified remote/branch names into a local
branch tracking that remote. For example
$git switch --track origin/master
This will create a local branch name master, that tracks the master
branch of the origin remote.
In fact, git switch --track on its own will not accept other forms of
references. These must instead be specified manually via the -c/-C/-b/-B
options.
Introduce __git_remote_heads() and the "remote-heads" mode for
__git_complete_refs. Use this when the --track option is provided while
completing in _git_switch and _git_checkout. Just as in the --detach
case, we never enable DWIM mode for --track, because it doesn't make
sense.
It should be noted that completion support is still a bit sub par when
it comes to handling -c/-C and --orphan. This will be resolved in
a future change.

Add a new --mode option to __git_complete_refs, which allows changing
the behavior to call __git_heads instead of __git_refs.
By passing --mode=heads, __git_complete_refs will only output local
branches. This enables using "--mode=heads --dwim" to enable listing
local branches and the remote unique branch names for DWIM.
Refactor completion support to use the new mode option, rather than
calling __git_heads directly. This has the advantage that we can now
correctly allow local branches along with suitable DWIM refs, rather
than only allowing DWIM when we complete all references.
Choose what mode it uses when calling __git_complete_refs. If -d or
--detach have been provided, then simply complete all refs, but
*without* the DWIM option as these DWIM names won't work properly in
--detach mode.
Otherwise, call __git_complete_refs with the default dwim_opt value and
use the new "heads" mode.
In this way, the basic support for completing just "git switch <TAB>"
will result in only local branches and remote unique names for DWIM.
The basic no-options tests for git switch, as well as several of the
-c/-C tests now pass, so remove the known breakage tags.

A new helper, __git_find_last_on_cmdline is introduced, similar to the
already existing __git_find_on_cmdline, but which operates in reverse,
finding the *last* matching word of the provided wordlist.
Use this in a new __git_checkout_default_dwim_mode() function that will
determine when to enable listing of DWIM remote branches.
The __git_find_last_on_cmdline() function is used to determine which
--guess or --no-guess is in effect. If either one is provided, then we
unconditionally enable or disable the DWIM mode based on the last
provided option.
If neither --guess nor --no-guess is provided, then we check for
--no-track, and finally for GIT_COMPLETION_CHECKOUT_NO_GUESS=1.
This function is then used in _git_switch and _git_checkout to improve
the handling for when we enable listing of these DWIM remote branches.
This new logic is more robust, as we will correctly identify superseded
options, and ensure that both _git_switch and _git_checkout enable DWIM
in similar ways.
We can now update a few tests to indicate they pass. A few of the tests
previously added to highlight issues with the old DWIM logic still fail.
This is because of a separate issue related to the default completion
behavior of git switch, which will be addressed in a future change.
Additionally, due to this change, a few tests for the -b/-B handling of
git checkout now fail. This is a minor regression, and will be fixed by
a following change that improves the overall handling of -b/-B. Mark
these tests as known breakages for now.

__git_complete_refs is the main function used for completing references.
It is primarily used as a wrapper around __git_refs, and is easier to
extend since its arguments are option-like.
One major downside of __git_complete_refs and __git_refs currently, is
the lack of ability to complete only a subset of refs such as branches
(refs/heads) or tags (refs/tags).
Normally, a caller might just decide to use __git_heads() or
__git_tags(). However, in the case of git-switch, it is useful to
complete both branches *and* DWIM remote branch names.
Due to the complexity and implementation of __git_refs, it is not easy
to extend it to support listing only a subset of references.
Instead, we can extend __git_complete_refs to do this. For this to be
done, we must first ensure that "--dwim" support is not tied to calling
__git_refs.
Instead of passing $dwim into __git_refs, we can implement
a __gitcomp_direct_append function which can append to COMPREPLY after
a call to __gitcomp_direct.
If --dwim is passed to __git_complete_refs, use __gitcomp_direct_append
to add the output of __git_dwim_remote_heads to the completion list.
In this way, --dwim support is now independent of calling __git_refs.
A future change will add an additional option to control what set of
references __git_complete_refs will output.

__git_refs() has the ability to report unique remote names for
supporting completion of remote branch names for the DWIMery of git
checkout and git switch.
For git checkout, this is fine, because it always supports completing
all local references.
However, git switch by default only supports either switching branches
or using this DWIMery to create a local branch tracking the remote
branch.
Future work to cleanup and improve completion support for git switch
will be aided if the remote branch names can be completed separately
from __git_refs.
Extract this logic to a function __git_dwim_remote_heads(), and use it
in __git_refs.

The __git_complete_refs uses the "--track" option to specify when to
enable listing of unique remote branches which are used by the DWIM
logic of git checkout and git switch.
Using the term '--track' here is confusing because the git commands
themselves have '--track' as an argument. Additionally, the completion
logic for _git_switch also checks for --track. Keeping the meaning of
track_opt and --track for __git_complete_refs straight from the --track
git switch and git checkout option is difficult when reading this code.
Use the option '--dwim' instead, indicating this is about enabling or
disabling logic related to DWIM mode. Also rename the local variable
track_opt to dwim_opt to further reduce the confusion when reading the
completion code for _git_switch.
Because it is plausible for users to have developed their own
completions which rely on __git_complete_ref, keep --track as a synonym
for --dwim, even though we no longer use it in any of the core git
completion logic. Add a comment explaining why it remains as an
alternative spelling for --dwim.

This harms any subcommand that can take the "-p" option---even when the

As reported on the git mailing list, since git-2.25,
git add untracked-dir/
has been tab completing to
git add untracked-dir/./
The cause for this was that with commit b9670c1f5e (dir: fix checks on
common prefix directory, 2019-12-19),
git ls-files -o --directory untracked-dir/
(or the equivalent `git -C untracked-dir ls-files -o --directory`) began
reporting
untracked-dir/
instead of listing paths underneath that directory. It may also be
worth noting that the real command in question was
git -C untracked-dir ls-files -o --directory '*'
which is equivalent to
git ls-files -o --directory 'untracked-dir/*'
which behaves the same for the purposes of this issue (the '*' can match
the empty string), but becomes relevant for the proposed fix.
At first, based on the report, I decided to try to view this as a
regression and tried to find a way to recover the old behavior without
breaking other stuff, or at least breaking as little as possible.
However, in the end, I couldn't figure out a way to do it that wouldn't
just cause lots more problems than it solved. The old behavior was a
bug:
* Although older git would avoid cleaning anything with `git clean -f
.git`, it would wipe out everything under that direcotry with `git
clean -f .git/`. Despite the difference in command used, this is
relevant because the exact same change that fixed clean changed the
behavior of ls-files.
* Older git would report different results based solely on presence or
absence of a trailing slash for $SUBDIR in the command `git ls-files
-o --directory $SUBDIR`.
* Older git violated the documented behavior of not recursing into
directories that matched the pathspec when --directory was
specified.
* And, after all, commit b9670c1f5e (dir: fix checks on common prefix
directory, 2019-12-19) didn't overlook this issue; it explicitly
stated that the behavior of the command was being changed to bring
it inline with the docs.
(Also, if it helps, despite that commit being merged during the 2.25
series, this bug was not reported during the 2.25 cycle, nor even during
most of the 2.26 cycle -- it was reported a day before 2.26 was
released. So the impact of the change is at least somewhat small.)
Instead of relying on a bug of ls-files in reporting the wrong content,
change the invocation of ls-files used by git-completion to make it grab
paths one depth deeper. Do this by changing '$DIR/*' (match $DIR/ plus
0 or more characters) into '$DIR/?*' (match $DIR/ plus 1 or more
characters). Note that the '?' character should not be added when
trying to complete a filename (e.g. 'git ls-files -o --directory
"merge.c?*"' would not correctly return "merge.c" when such a file
exists), so we have to make sure to add the '?' character only in cases
where the path specified so far is a directory.

The tar importer in `contrib/fast-import/import-tars.perl` has a very
convenient feature: if _all_ paths stored in the imported `.tar` start
with a common prefix, e.g. `git-2.26.0/` in the tar at
https://github.com/git/git/archive/v2.26.0.tar.gz, then this prefix is
stripped.
This feature makes a ton of sense because it is relatively common to
import two or more revisions of the same project into Git, and obviously
we don't want all files to live in a tree whose name changes from
revision to revision.
Now, the problem with that feature is that it breaks down if there is a
`pax_global_header` "file" located outside of said prefix, at the top of
the tree. This is the case for `.tar` files generated by Git's very own
`git archive` command: it inserts that header, and `git archive` allows
specifying a common prefix (that the header does _not_ share with the
other files contained in the archive) via `--prefix=my-project-1.0.0/`.
Let's just skip any global header when importing `.tar` files into Git.
Note: this global header might contain useful information. For example,
in the output of `git archive`, it lists the original commit, which _is_
useful information. A future improvement to the `import-tars.perl`
script might be to include that information in the commit message, or do
other things with the information (e.g. use `mtime` information
contained in the global header as date of the commit). This patch does
not prevent any future patch from making that happen, it only prevents
the header from being treated as if it was a regular file.

"git am --short-current-patch" is a way to show the piece of e-mail
for the stopped step, which is not suitable to directly feed "git
apply" (it is designed to be a good "git am" input). It learned a
new option to show only the patch part.
* pb/am-show-current-patch:
am: support --show-current-patch=diff to retrieve .git/rebase-apply/patch
am: support --show-current-patch=raw as a synonym for--show-current-patch
am: convert "resume" variable to a struct
parse-options: convert "command mode" to a flag
parse-options: add testcases for OPT_CMDMODE()
"git rebase" has learned to use the merge backend (i.e. the
machinery that drives "rebase -i") by default, while allowing
"--apply" option to use the "apply" backend (e.g. the moral
equivalent of "format-patch piped to am"). The rebase.backend
configuration variable can be set to customize.
* en/rebase-backend:
rebase: rename the two primary rebase backends
rebase: change the default backend from "am" to "merge"
rebase: make the backend configurable via config setting
rebase tests: repeat some tests using the merge backend instead of am
rebase tests: mark tests specific to the am-backend with --am
rebase: drop '-i' from the reflog for interactive-based rebases
git-prompt: change the prompt for interactive-based rebases
rebase: add an --am option
rebase: move incompatibility checks between backend options a bit earlier
git-rebase.txt: add more details about behavioral differences of backends
rebase: allow more types of rebases to fast-forward
t3432: make these tests work with either am or merge backends
rebase: fix handling of restrict_revision
rebase: make sure to pass along the quiet flag to the sequencer
rebase, sequencer: remove the broken GIT_QUIET handling
t3406: simplify an already simple test
rebase (interactive-backend): fix handling of commits that become empty
rebase (interactive-backend): make --keep-empty the default
t3404: directly test the behavior of interest
git-rebase.txt: update description of --allow-empty-message
These options are available since git v2.15, but somehow
eluded from the completion script.
Note that while --color-moved-ws= accepts comma-separated
list of values, there is no (easy?) way to make it work
with completion (see e.g. [1]).

When "git am --show-current-patch" was added in commit 984913a210 ("am:
add --show-current-patch", 2018-02-12), "git am" started recommending it
as a replacement for .git/rebase-merge/patch. Unfortunately the suggestion
is somewhat misguided; for example, the output of "git am --show-current-patch"
cannot be passed to "git apply" if it is encoded as quoted-printable
or base64. Add a new mode to "git am --show-current-patch" in order to
straighten the suggestion.
