In 56300ff356 (t3200: prepare for `main` being shorter than `master`,
2020-10-23) and in 66713e84e7 (tests: prepare aligned mentions of the
default branch name, 2020-10-23), we started to prepare t3200 for a new
world where `git init` uses the branch name `main` for the initial
branch.
We do not even have to wait for that new world: we can easily ensure
that that branch name is used, independent of the exact name `git init`
will give the initial branch, so let's do that.
This also lets us remove the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq from three

We introduced the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq for the sole purpose
of allowing us to perform the non-trivial adjustments regarding the
`master` -> `main` rename before the automatable ones.
Now that the transition is almost complete, we can stop using it in most
instances. The only two exceptions are t5526 and t9902: at the time of
writing, there are other patches in flight that touch these test
scripts, therefore their transition to `main` is postponed to a later
date.
This patch is the result of this command:

In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.
To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in
- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,
- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
initialize the default branch,
- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,
- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
uses `master`)
This trick was performed by this command:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh
After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:
$ git checkout HEAD -- \

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:

In some tests, the default branch name is part of aligned output. As we
want to change the default branch name to `main`, which is two
characters shorter than the old default branch name, we will have to
adjust those tests.
Since we use the original default branch name until the entire test
suite has been adjusted accordingly, the touched test cases need to be
guarded by a prereq (that is so far disabled so that they are skipped
for now).
The test cases that depend on those test cases that are newly guarded by

In 6b7093064a ("t3200: test for specific errors", 2020-06-15), we
learned to grep stderr to ensure that the failing `git branch`
invocations fail for the right reason. In two of these tests, we grep
for "File exists", expecting the string to show up there since config.c
calls `error_errno()`, which ends up including `strerror(errno)` in the
error message.
But as we saw in 4605a73073 ("t1091: don't grep for `strerror()`
string", 2020-03-08), there exists at least one implementation where
`strerror()` yields a slightly different string than the one we're
grepping for. In particular, these tests fail on the NonStop platform.
Similar to 4605a73073, grep for the beginning of the string instead to
avoid relying on `strerror()` behavior.

When we ran something like
$ git checkout -b test master...
it would fail with the message
fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master...'.
This was caused by the call to `create_branch` where `start_name` is
expected to be a valid rev. However, git-checkout allows the branch to
be a valid _merge base_ rev (i.e. with a "...") so it was possible for
an invalid rev to be passed in.
Make `create_branch` accept a merge base rev so that this case does not
error out.
As a side-effect, teach git-branch how to handle merge base revs as
well.

When "git branch -D <name>" is run, Git usually first checks if that
branch is currently checked out. But this check is not performed if the
Git directory of that repository is not at "<repo>/.git", which is the
case if that repository is a submodule that has its Git directory stored
as "super/.git/modules/<repo>", for example. This results in the branch
being deleted even though it is checked out.
This is because get_main_worktree() in worktree.c sets is_bare on a
worktree only using the heuristic that a repo is bare if the worktree's
path does not end in "/.git", and not bare otherwise. This is_bare code
was introduced in 92718b7438 ("worktree: add details to the worktree
struct", 2015-10-08), following a pre-core.bare heuristic. This patch
does 2 things:
- Teach get_main_worktree() to use is_bare_repository() instead,
introduced in 7d1864ce67 ("Introduce is_bare_repository() and
core.bare configuration variable", 2007-01-07) and updated in
e90fdc39b6 ("Clean up work-tree handling", 2007-08-01). This solves
the "git branch -D <name>" problem described above. However...
- If a repository has core.bare=1 but the "git" command is being run
from one of its secondary worktrees, is_bare_repository() returns
false (which is fine, since there is a worktree available). However,
treating the main worktree as non-bare when it is bare causes issues:
for example, failure to delete a branch from a secondary worktree
that is referred to by a main worktree's HEAD, even if that main
worktree is bare.
In order to avoid that, also check core.bare when setting is_bare. If
core.bare=1, trust it, and otherwise, use is_bare_repository().

If our call to refs_read_raw_ref() fails, we check errno to
see if the ref is simply missing, or if we encountered a
more serious error. If it's just missing, then in "write"
mode (i.e., when RESOLVE_REFS_READING is not set), this is
perfectly fine.
However, checking for ENOENT isn't sufficient to catch all
missing-ref cases. In the filesystem backend, we may also
see EISDIR when we try to resolve "a" and "a/b" exists.
Likewise, we may see ENOTDIR if we try to resolve "a/b" and
"a" exists. In both of those cases, we know that our
resolved ref doesn't exist, but we return an error (rather
than reporting the refname and returning a null sha1).
This has been broken for a long time, but nobody really
noticed because the next step after resolving without the
READING flag is usually to lock the ref and write it. But in
both of those cases, the write will fail with the same
errno due to the directory/file conflict.
There are two cases where we can notice this, though:
1. If we try to write "a" and there's a leftover directory
already at "a", even though there is no ref "a/b". The
actual write is smart enough to move the empty "a" out
of the way.
This is reasonably rare, if only because the writing
code has to do an independent resolution before trying
its write (because the actual update_ref() code handles
this case fine). The notes-merge code does this, and
before the fix in the prior commit t3308 erroneously
expected this case to fail.
2. When resolving symbolic refs, we typically do not use
the READING flag because we want to resolve even
symrefs that point to unborn refs. Even if those unborn
refs could not actually be written because of d/f
conflicts with existing refs.
You can see this by asking "git symbolic-ref" to report
the target of a symref pointing past a d/f conflict.
We can fix the problem by recognizing the other "missing"
errnos and treating them like ENOENT. This should be safe to
do even for callers who are then going to actually write the
ref, because the actual writing process will fail if the d/f
conflict is a real one (and t1404 checks these cases).
Arguably this should be the responsibility of the
files-backend to normalize all "missing ref" errors into
ENOENT (since something like EISDIR may not be meaningful at
all to a database backend). However other callers of
refs_read_raw_ref() may actually care about the distinction;
putting this into resolve_ref() is the minimal fix for now.
The new tests in t1401 use git-symbolic-ref, which is the
most direct way to check the resolution by itself.
Interestingly we actually had a test that setup this case
already, but we only used it to verify that the funny state
could be overwritten, not that it could be resolved.
We also add a new test in t3200, as "branch -m" was the
original motivation for looking into this. What happens is
this:
0. HEAD is pointing to branch "a"
1. The user asks to rename "a" to "a/b".
2. We create "a/b" and delete "a".
3. We then try to update any worktree HEADs that point to
the renamed ref (including the main repo HEAD). To do
that, we have to resolve each HEAD. But now our HEAD is
pointing at "a", and we get EISDIR due to the loose
"a/b". As a result, we think there is no HEAD, and we
do not update it. It now points to the bogus "a".
Interestingly this case used to work, but only accidentally.
Before 31824d180d (branch: fix branch renaming not updating
HEADs correctly, 2017-08-24), we'd update any HEAD which we
couldn't resolve. That was wrong, but it papered over the
fact that we were incorrectly failing to resolve HEAD.
So while the bug demonstrated by the git-symbolic-ref is
quite old, the regression to "branch -m" is recent.

branch. It probably was made this way because "git branch -c A B"
piggybacked its implementation on "git branch -m A B",
This does not match the usual expectation. If I were sitting on a
blue chair, and somebody comes and repaints it to red, I would
accept ending up sitting on a chair that is now red (I am also OK to
stand, instead, as there no longer is my favourite blue chair). But
if somebody creates a new red chair, modelling it after the blue
chair I am sitting on, I do not expect to be booted off of the blue
chair and ending up on sitting on the new red one.
Let's fix this before it hits 'next'. Those who want to create a
new branch and switch to it can do "git checkout B" after doing a
"git branch -c B", and if that operation is so useful and deserves a
short-hand way to do so, perhaps extend "git checkout -b B" to copy
configurations while creating the new branch B.

* nd/worktree-kill-parse-ref:
branch: fix branch renaming not updating HEADs correctly
There are two bugs that sort of work together and cause
problems. Let's start with one in replace_each_worktree_head_symref.
Before fa099d2322 (worktree.c: kill parse_ref() in favor of
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() - 2017-04-24), this code looks like this:
if (strcmp(oldref, worktrees[i]->head_ref))
continue;
set_worktree_head_symref(...);
After fa099d2322, it is possible that head_ref can be NULL. However,
the updated code takes the wrong exit. In the error case (NULL
head_ref), we should "continue;" to the next worktree. The updated
code makes us _skip_ "continue;" and update HEAD anyway.
The NULL head_ref is triggered by the second bug in add_head_info (in
the same commit). With the flag RESOLVE_REF_READING, resolve_ref_unsafe()
will abort if it cannot resolve the target ref. For orphan checkouts,
HEAD always points to an unborned branch, resolving target ref will
always fail. Now we have NULL head_ref. Now we always update HEAD.
Correct the logic in replace_ function so that we don't accidentally
update HEAD on error. As it turns out, correcting the logic bug above
breaks branch renaming completely, thanks to the second bug.
"git branch -[Mm]" does two steps (on a normal checkout, no orphan!):
- rename the branch on disk (e.g. refs/heads/abc to refs/heads/def)
- update HEAD if it points to the branch being renamed.
At the second step, since the branch pointed to by HEAD (e.g. "abc") no
longer exists on disk, we run into a temporary orphan checkout situation
that has been just corrected to _not_ update HEAD. But we need to update
HEAD since it's not actually an orphan checkout. We need to update HEAD
to move out of that orphan state.
Correct add_head_info(), remove RESOLVE_REF_READING flag. With the flag
gone, we should always return good "head_ref" in orphan checkouts (either
temporary or permanent). With good head_ref, things start to work again.

The '--set-upstream' option of branch was deprecated in b347d06b
("branch: deprecate --set-upstream and show help if we detect
possible mistaken use", 2012-08-30) and has been planned for removal
ever since.
In order to prevent "--set-upstream" on a command line from being taken as
an abbreviated form of "--set-upstream-to", explicitly catch "--set-upstream"
option and die, instead of just removing it from the list of options.
Before this change, an attempt to use "--set-upstream" resulted in:
$ git branch
* master
$ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to
Branch origin/master set up to track local branch master.
$ echo $?
0
$ git branch
* master
origin/master
With this change, the behaviour becomes like this:
$ git branch
* master
$ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
fatal: the '--set-upstream' option is no longer supported. Please use '--track' or '--set-upstream-to' instead.
$ echo $?
128
$ git branch
* master

Avoiding the clean up step of tests may help in some cases but in other
cases they cause the other unrelated tests to fail for unobvious reasons.
It's better to cleanup a few things to keep other tests from failing
as a result of it.
So, cleanup a cruft left behind by an old test in order for the changes that
are to be introduced to be independent of it.

The reflog-walk system works by putting a ref's tip into the
pending queue, and then "traversing" the reflog by
pretending that the parent of each commit is the previous
reflog entry.
This causes a number of user-visible oddities, as documented
in t1414 (and the commit message which introduced it). We
can fix all of them in one go by replacing the fake-reflog
system with a much simpler one: just keeping a list of
reflogs to show, and walking through them entry by entry.
The implementation is fairly straight-forward, but there are
a few items to note:
1. We obviously must skip calling add_parents_to_list()
when we are traversing reflogs, since we do not want to
walk the original parents at all. As a result, we must call
try_to_simplify_commit() ourselves.
There are other parts of add_parents_to_list() we skip,
as well, but none of them should matter for a reflog
traversal:
- We do not allow UNINTERESTING commits, nor
symmetric ranges (and we bail when these are used
with "-g").
- Using --source makes no sense, since we aren't
traversing. The reflog selector shows the same
information with more detail.
- Using --first-parent is still sensible, since you
may want to see the first-parent diff for each
entry. But since we're not traversing, we don't
need to cull the parent list here.
2. Since we now just walk the reflog entries themselves,
rather than starting with the ref tip, we now look at
the "new" field of each entry rather than the "old"
(i.e., we are showing entries, not faking parents).
This removes all of the tricky logic around skipping
past root commits.
But note that we have no way to show an entry with the
null sha1 in its "new" field (because such a commit
obviously does not exist). Normally this would not
happen, since we delete reflogs along with refs, but
there is one special case. When we rename the currently
checked out branch, we write two reflog entries into
the HEAD log: one where the commit goes away, and
another where it comes back.
Prior to this commit, we show both entries with
identical reflog messages. After this commit, we show
only the "comes back" entry. See the update in t3200
which demonstrates this.
Arguably either is fine, as the whole double-entry
thing is a bit hacky in the first place. And until a
recent fix, we truncated the traversal in such a case
anyway, which was _definitely_ wrong.
3. We show individual reflogs in order, but choose which
reflog to show at each stage based on which has the
most recent timestamp. This interleaves the output
from multiple reflogs based on date order, which is
probably what you'd want with limiting like "-n 30".
Note that the implementation aims for simplicity. It
does a linear walk over the reflog queue for each
commit it pulls, which may perform badly if you
interleave an enormous number of reflogs. That seems
like an unlikely use case; if we did want to handle it,
we could probably keep a priority queue of reflogs,
ordered by the timestamp of their current tip entry.

Since 39ee4c6c2f (branch: record creation of renamed branch
in HEAD's log, 2017-02-20), a rename on the currently
checked out branch will create two entries in the HEAD
reflog: one where the branch goes away (switching to the
null oid), and one where it comes back (switching away from
the null oid).
This confuses the reflog-walk code. When walking backwards,
it first sees the null oid in the "old" field of the second
entry. Thanks to the "root commit" logic added by 71abeb753f
(reflog: continue walking the reflog past root commits,
2016-06-03), we keep looking for the next entry by scanning
the "new" field from the previous entry. But that field is
also null! We need to go just a tiny bit further, and look
at its "old" field. But with the current code, we decide the
reflog has nothing else to show and just give up. To the
user this looks like the reflog was truncated by the rename
operation, when in fact those entries are still there.
This patch does the absolute minimal fix, which is to look
back that one extra level and keep traversing.
The resulting behavior may not be the _best_ thing to do in
the long run (for example, we show both reflog entries each
with the same commit id), but it's a simple way to fix the
problem without risking further regressions.

Add the ability to --copy a branch and its reflog and configuration,
this uses the same underlying machinery as the --move (-m) option
except the reflog and configuration is copied instead of being moved.
This is useful for e.g. copying a topic branch to a new version,
e.g. work to work-2 after submitting the work topic to the list, while
preserving all the tracking info and other configuration that goes
with the branch, and unlike --move keeping the other already-submitted
branch around for reference.
Like --move, when the source branch is the currently checked out
branch the HEAD is moved to the destination branch. In the case of
--move we don't really have a choice (other than remaining on a
detached HEAD) and in order to keep the functionality consistent, we
are doing it in similar way for --copy too.
The most common usage of this feature is expected to be moving to a
new topic branch which is a copy of the current one, in that case
moving to the target branch is what the user wants, and doesn't
unexpectedly behave differently than --move would.
One outstanding caveat of this implementation is that:
git checkout maint &&
git checkout master &&
git branch -c topic &&
git checkout -
Will check out 'maint' instead of 'master'. This is because the @{-N}
feature (or its -1 shorthand "-") relies on HEAD reflogs created by
the checkout command, so in this case we'll checkout maint instead of
master, as the user might expect. What to do about that is left to a
future change.

Add a test for how 'git branch -m' handles the renaming of multiple
config sections existing for one branch.
The config format we use is hybrid machine/human editable, and we do
our best to preserve the likes of comments and formatting when editing
the file with git-config.
This adds a test for the currently expected semantics in the face of
some rather obscure edge cases which are unlikely to occur in
practice.

Add a test for the case when only one parameter is passed to '-m'
(move/rename) option.
For example - if 'git branch -m bbb' is run while checked out on aaa
branch, it should rename the currently checked out branch to bbb.
There was no test for this particular case with only one parameter
for -m option. However, there's one similar test case for -M option.
Add test for making sure HEAD points to the bbb (new branch name). Also
add a test for making sure the reflog that is moved to 'bbb' retains
entries created for the currently checked out branch. Note that since
the topmost entry on reflog for bbb will be about branch creation, we
compare bbb@{1} (instead of bbb@{0}) with aaa@{0} to make sure the
reflog for bbb retains entries from aaa.
