'--object-only' is an alias for '--format=%(objectname)'. It cannot
be used together other format-altering options like '--name-only',
'--long' or '--format', they are mutually exclusive.
The "--name-only" option outputs <filepath> only. Likewise, <objectName>
is another high frequency used field, so implement '--object-only' option
will bring intuitive and clear semantics for this scenario. Using
'--format=%(objectname)' we can achieve a similar effect, but the former
is with a lower learning cost(without knowing the format requirement
of '--format' option).
Even so, if a user is prefer to use "--format=%(objectname)", this is entirely
welcome because they are not only equivalent in function, but also have almost
identical performance. The reason is this commit also add the specific of
"--format=%(objectname)" to the current fast-pathes (builtin formats) to
avoid running unnecessary parsing mechanisms.
The following performance benchmarks are based on torvalds/linux.git:
When hit the fast-path:
Benchmark 1: /opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --object-only HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 83.6 ms ± 2.0 ms [User: 59.4 ms, System: 24.1 ms]
Range (min … max): 80.4 ms … 87.2 ms 35 runs
Benchmark 1: /opt/git/ls-tree-oid-only/bin/git ls-tree -r --format='%(objectname)' HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 84.1 ms ± 1.8 ms [User: 61.7 ms, System: 22.3 ms]
Range (min … max): 80.9 ms … 87.5 ms 35 runs
But for a customized format, it will be slower:

Time (mean ± σ): 96.5 ms ± 2.5 ms [User: 72.9 ms, System: 23.5 ms]

Add a --format option to ls-tree. It has an existing default output,
and then --long and --name-only options to emit the default output
along with the objectsize and, or to only emit object paths.
Rather than add --type-only, --object-only etc. we can just support a
--format using a strbuf_expand() similar to "for-each-ref
--format". We might still add such options in the future for
convenience.
The --format implementation is slower than the existing code, but this
change does not cause any performance regressions. We'll leave the
existing show_tree() unchanged, and only run show_tree_fmt() in if
a --format different than the hardcoded built-in ones corresponding to
the existing modes is provided.
I.e. something like the "--long" output would be much slower with
this, mainly due to how we need to allocate various things to do with
quote.c instead of spewing the output directly to stdout.
The new option of '--format' comes from Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmasonn's
idea and suggestion, this commit makes modifications in terms of the
original discussion on community [1].
In [1] there was a "GIT_TEST_LS_TREE_FORMAT_BACKEND" variable to
ensure that we had test coverage for passing tests that would
otherwise use show_tree() through show_tree_fmt(), and thus that the
formatting mechanism could handle all the same cases as the
non-formatting options.
Somewhere in subsequent re-rolls of that we seem to have drifted away
from what the goal of these tests should be. We're trying to ensure
correctness of show_tree_fmt(). We can't tell if we "hit [the]
fast-path" here, and instead of having an explicit test for that, we
can just add it to something our "test_ls_tree_format" tests for.
Here is the statistics about performance tests:
1. Default format (hitten the builtin formats):
"git ls-tree <tree-ish>" vs "--format='%(mode) %(type) %(object)%x09%(file)'"
$hyperfine --warmup=10 "/opt/git/master/bin/git ls-tree -r HEAD"

Range (min … max): 100.2 ms … 110.5 ms 29 runs
2. Default format includes object size (hitten the builtin formats):

This is a non-functional change, we introduce an enum "ls_tree_cmdmode"
then use it to mark which columns to output.
This has the advantage of making the show_tree logic simpler and more
readable, as well as making it easier to extend new options (for example,
if we want to add a "--object-only" option, we just need to add a similar
"short-circuit logic in "show_tree()").

"git rebase A B" where B is not a commit should behave as if the
HEAD got detached at B and then the detached HEAD got rebased on top
of A. A bug however overwrites the current branch to point at B,
when B is a descendant of A (i.e. the rebase ends up being a
fast-forward). See [1] for the original bug report.
The callstack from checkout_up_to_date() is the following:
cmd_rebase()
-> checkout_up_to_date()
-> reset_head()
-> update_refs()
-> update_ref()
When B is not a valid branch but an oid, rebase sets the head_name
of rebase_options to NULL. This value gets passed down this call
chain through the branch member of reset_head_opts also getting set
to NULL all the way to update_refs().
Then update_refs() checks ropts.branch to decide whether or not to switch
branches. If ropts.branch is NULL, it calls update_ref() to update HEAD.
At this point however, from rebase's point of view, we want a detached
HEAD. But, since checkout_up_to_date() does not set the RESET_HEAD_DETACH
flag, the update_ref() call will deference HEAD and update the branch its
pointing to. We want the HEAD detached at B instead.
Fix this bug by adding the RESET_HEAD_DETACH flag in
checkout_up_to_date if B is not a valid branch, so that once
reset_head() calls update_refs(), it calls update_ref() with
REF_NO_DEREF which updates HEAD directly intead of deferencing it
and updating the branch that HEAD points to.
Also add a test to ensure the correct behavior.

"git fetch --recurse-submodules" only considers populated
submodules (i.e. submodules that can be found by iterating the index),
which makes "git fetch" behave differently based on which commit is
checked out. As a result, even if the user has initialized all submodules
correctly, they may not fetch the necessary submodule commits, and
commands like "git checkout --recurse-submodules" might fail.
Teach "git fetch" to fetch cloned, changed submodules regardless of
whether they are populated. This is in addition to the current behavior
of fetching populated submodules (which is always attempted regardless
of what was fetched in the superproject, or even if nothing was fetched
in the superproject).
A submodule may be encountered multiple times (via the list of
populated submodules or via the list of changed submodules). When this
happens, "git fetch" only reads the 'populated copy' and ignores the
'changed copy'. Amend the verify_fetch_result() test helper so that we
can assert on which 'copy' is being read.

This patch completes the conversion past the flag parsing of
`submodule update` by introducing a helper subcommand called
`submodule--helper update`. The behaviour of `submodule update` should
remain the same after this patch.
Prior to this patch, `submodule update` was implemented by piping the
output of `update-clone` (which clones all missing submodules, then
prints relevant information for all submodules) into
`run-update-procedure` (which reads the information and updates the
submodule tree).
With `submodule--helper update`, we iterate over the submodules and
update the submodule tree in the same process. This reuses most of
existing code structure, except that `update_submodule()` now updates
the submodule tree (instead of printing submodule information to be
consumed by another process).
Recursing on a submodule is done by calling a subprocess that launches
`submodule--helper update`, with a modified `--recursive-prefix` and
`--prefix` parameter.

For "update-clone", move its args from 'struct submodule_update_clone'

When format is passed into --batch, --batch-check, --batch-command,
the format gets expanded. When nothing is passed in, the default format
is set and the expand_format() gets called.
We can save on these cycles by hardcoding how to print the
information when nothing is passed as the format, or when the default
format is passed. There is no need for the fully expanded format with
the default. Since batch_object_write() happens on every object provided
in batch mode, we get a nice performance improvement.

silenced. However, the 'reset' in 'reset_head()' is *not* called with '-q',
leading to the potential for a misleading printout from 'git stash apply
--index' if the stash included a removed file:
Unstaged changes after reset: D <deleted file>
Not only is this confusing in its own right (since, after the reset, 'git
stash' execution would stage the deletion in the index), it would be printed
even when the stash was applied with the '-q' option. As a result, the
messaging is removed entirely by calling 'git status' with '-q'.
Additionally, because the default behavior of 'git reset -q' is to skip
refreshing the index, but later operations in 'git stash' subcommands expect
a non-stale index, enable '--refresh' as well.

Replace references to '--quiet' with '--no-refresh' in the advice on how to
skip refreshing the index. When the advice was introduced, '--quiet' was the
only way to avoid the expensive 'refresh_index(...)' at the end of a mixed
reset. After introducing '--no-refresh', however, '--quiet' became only a
fallback option for determining refresh behavior, overridden by
'--[no-]refresh' or 'reset.refresh' if either is set. To ensure users are
advised to use the most reliable option for avoiding 'refresh_index(...)',
replace recommendation of '--quiet' with '--[no-]refresh'.

Add a new --[no-]refresh option that is intended to explicitly determine
whether a mixed reset should end in an index refresh.
Starting at 9ac8125d1a (reset: don't compute unstaged changes after reset
when --quiet, 2018-10-23), using the '--quiet' option results in skipping
the call to 'refresh_index(...)' at the end of a mixed reset with the goal
of improving performance. However, by coupling behavior that modifies the
index with the option that silences logs, there is no way for users to have
one without the other (i.e., silenced logs with a refreshed index) without
incurring the overhead of a separate call to 'git update-index --refresh'.
Furthermore, there is minimal user-facing documentation indicating that
--quiet skips the index refresh, potentially leading to unexpected issues
executing commands after 'git reset --quiet' that do not themselves refresh
the index (e.g., internals of 'git stash', 'git read-tree').
To mitigate these issues, '--[no-]refresh' and 'reset.refresh' are
introduced to provide a dedicated mechanism for refreshing the index. When
either is set, '--quiet' and 'reset.quiet' revert to controlling only
whether logs are silenced and do not affect index refresh.

Update the advice describing index refresh from "enumerate unstaged changes"
to "refresh the index." Describing 'refresh_index(...)' as "enumerating
unstaged changes" is not fully representative of what an index refresh is
doing; more generally, it updates the properties of index entries that are
affected by outside-of-index state, e.g. CE_UPTODATE, which is affected by
the file contents on-disk. This distinction is relevant to operations that
read the index but do not refresh first - e.g., 'git read-tree' - where a
stale index may cause incorrect behavior.
In addition to changing the advice message, use the "advise" function to

If a commit in a sequence of linear history has a non-monotonically
increasing commit timestamp, git name-rev might not properly name the
commit.
This occurs because name-rev uses a heuristic of the commit date to
avoid searching down tags which lead to commits that are older than the
named commit. This is intended to avoid work on larger repositories.
This heuristic impacts git name-rev, and by extension git describe
--contains which is built on top of name-rev.
Further more, if --all or --annotate-stdin is used, the heuristic is not
enabled because the full history has to be analyzed anyways. This
results in some confusion if a user sees that --annotate-stdin works but
a normal name-rev does not.
If the repository has a commit graph, we can use the generation numbers
instead of using the commit dates. This is essentially the same check
except that generation numbers make it exact, where the commit date
heuristic could be incorrect due to clock errors.
Since we're extending the notion of cutoff to more than one variable,
create a series of functions for setting and checking the cutoff. This
avoids duplication and moves access of the global cutoff and
generation_cutoff to as few functions as possible.
Add several test cases including a test that covers the new commitGraph
behavior, as well as tests for --all and --annotate-stdin with and

This commit introduces the infrastructure for the core.fsync

are identified by flags so that we can turn on or off syncing
for specific components.
If core.fsyncObjectFiles is set and the core.fsync configuration
also includes FSYNC_COMPONENT_LOOSE_OBJECT, we will fsync any
loose objects. This picks the strictest data integrity behavior
if core.fsync and core.fsyncObjectFiles are set to conflicting values.
This change introduces the currently unused fsync_component
helper, which will be used by a later patch that adds fsyncing to
the refs backend.

Users can create a new repository using 'git clone <bundle-file>'. The
new "@filter" capability for bundles means that we can generate a bundle
that does not contain all reachable objects, even if the header has no
negative commit OIDs.
It is feasible to think that we could make a filtered bundle work with
the command
git clone --filter=$filter --bare <bundle-file>
or possibly replacing --bare with --no-checkout. However, this requires
having some repository-global config that specifies the specified object
filter and notifies Git about the existence of promisor pack-files.
Without a remote, that is currently impossible.
As a stop-gap, parse the bundle header during 'git clone' and die() with
a helpful error message instead of the current behavior of failing due
to "missing objects".
Most of the existing logic for handling bundle clones actually happens
in fetch-pack.c, but that logic is the same as if the user specified
'git fetch <bundle>', so we want to avoid failing to fetch a filtered
bundle when in an existing repository that has the proper config set up
for at least one remote.
Carefully comment around the test that this is not the desired long-term
behavior of 'git clone' in this case, but instead that we need to do
more work before that is possible.

Now that 'struct rev_info' has a 'filter' member and most consumers of
object filtering are using that member instead of an external struct,
move the parsing of the '--filter' option out of builtin/rev-list.c and
into revision.c.
This use within handle_revision_pseudo_opt() allows us to find the
option within setup_revisions() if the arguments are passed directly. In
the case of a command such as 'git blame', the arguments are first
scanned and checked with parse_revision_opt(), which complains about the
option, so 'git blame --filter=blob:none <file>' does not become valid
with this change.
Some commands, such as 'git diff' gain this option without having it
make an effect. And 'git diff --objects' was already possible, but does
not actually make sense in that builtin.
The key addition that is coming is 'git bundle create --filter=<X>' so
we can create bundles containing promisor packs. More work is required

Fix a Time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race in code added in
680ee550d7 (commit: skip discarding the index if there is no
pre-commit hook, 2017-08-14).
This obscure race condition can occur if we e.g. ran the "pre-commit"
hook and it modified the index, but hook_exists() returns false later
on (e.g., because the hook itself went away, the directory became
unreadable, etc.). Then we won't call discard_cache() when we should
have.
The race condition itself probably doesn't matter, and users would
have been unlikely to run into it in practice. This problem has been
noted on-list when 680ee550d7 was discussed[1], but had not been
fixed.
This change is mainly intended to improve the readability of the code
involved, and to make reasoning about it more straightforward. It
wasn't as obvious what we were trying to do here, but by having an
"invoked_hook" it's clearer that e.g. our discard_cache() is happening
because of the earlier hook execution.
Let's also change this for the push-to-checkout hook. Now instead of
checking if the hook exists and either doing a push to checkout or a
push to deploy we'll always attempt a push to checkout. If the hook
doesn't exist we'll fall back on push to deploy. The same behavior as
before, without the TOCTOU race. See 0855331941 (receive-pack:
support push-to-checkout hook, 2014-12-01) for the introduction of the
previous behavior.
This leaves uses of hook_exists() in two places that matter. The
"reference-transaction" check in refs.c, see 6754159767 (refs:
implement reference transaction hook, 2020-06-19), and the
"prepare-commit-msg" hook, see 66618a50f9 (sequencer: run
'prepare-commit-msg' hook, 2018-01-24).
In both of those cases we're saving ourselves CPU time by not
preparing data for the hook that we'll then do nothing with if we
don't have the hook. So using this "invoked_hook" pattern doesn't make
sense in those cases.
The "reference-transaction" and "prepare-commit-msg" hook also aren't
racy. In those cases we'll skip the hook runs if we race with a new
hook being added, whereas in the TOCTOU races being fixed here we were
incorrectly skipping the required post-hook logic.

Fix a minor bug introduced in bc40ce4de6 (merge: --no-verify to
bypass pre-merge-commit hook, 2019-08-07), when that change made the
--no-verify option bypass the "pre-merge-commit" hook it didn't update
the corresponding find_hook() (later hook_exists()) condition.
As can be seen in the preceding commit in 6098817fd7 (git-merge:
honor pre-merge-commit hook, 2019-08-07) the two should go hand in
hand. There's no point in invoking discard_cache() here if the hook
couldn't have possibly updated the index.
It's buggy that we use "hook_exist()" here, and as discussed in the
subsequent commit it's subject to obscure race conditions that we're
about to fix, but for now this change is a strict improvement that
retains any caveats to do with the use of "hooks_exist()" as-is.

Change the "nr" and "alloc" members of "struct string_list" to use
"size_t" instead of "nr". On some platforms the size of an "unsigned
int" will be smaller than a "size_t", e.g. a 32 bit unsigned v.s. 64
bit unsigned. As "struct string_list" is a generic API we use in a lot
of places this might cause overflows.
As one example: code in "refs.c" keeps track of the number of refs
with a "size_t", and auxiliary code in builtin/remote.c in
get_ref_states() appends those to a "struct string_list".
While we're at it split the "nr" and "alloc" in string-list.h across
two lines, which is the case for most such struct member
declarations (e.g. in "strbuf.h" and "strvec.h").
Changing e.g. "int i" to "size_t i" in run_and_feed_hook() isn't
strictly necessary, and there are a lot more cases where we'll use a
local "int", "unsigned int" etc. variable derived from the "nr" in the
"struct string_list". But in that case as well as
add_wrapped_shortlog_msg() in builtin/shortlog.c we need to adjust the
printf format referring to "nr" anyway, so let's also change the other

warning() itself, added in b74d779bd9 (MinGW: Fix compiler warning in

Thus in order to use it for retrieving the remote name of a submodule,

So let's make a function called `get_default_remote_submodule()` which
takes a submodule path, and returns the default remote for that
submodule, all within the same process.
We can now use this function to save an unnecessary subprocess spawn in
`sync_submodule()`, and also in a subsequent patch, which will require
this functionality.

Fix a memory leak in code added in 6c622f9f0b (commit-graph: write
commit-graph chains, 2019-06-18). We needed to free the "lock_name" if
we encounter errors, and the "graph_name" after we'd run unlink() on
it.
For the case of write_commit_graph_file() refactoring the code to free
the "lock_name" after we were done using the "struct lock_file lk"
would have made the control flow more complex. Luckily we can free the
"lock_file" right after the hold_lock_file_for_update() call, if it
makes use of "path" at all it'll have copied its contents to a "struct
strbuf" of its own.
While I'm at it let's fix code added in fb10ca5b54 (sparse-checkout:
write using lockfile, 2019-11-21) in write_patterns_and_update() to
avoid the same complexity that I thought I needed when I wrote the
initial fix for write_commit_graph_file(). We can free the
"sparse_filename" right after calling hold_lock_file_for_update(), we
don't need to wait until we're exiting the function to do so.

Those should not be used together if string_list_clear() is expected

manually fiddle with the "strdup_strings" member before calling

Since "strdup_strings = 1" is set now other code might be broken by
relying on "pack_indexes" not to duplicate it strings, but that
doesn't happen. When we pass this down to write_commit_graph() that
code uses the "struct string_list" without modifying it. Let's add a

When renaming a remote, Git needs to rename all remote tracking
references to the remote's new name (e.g., renaming
"refs/remotes/old/foo" to "refs/remotes/new/foo" when renaming a remote
from "old" to "new").
This can be somewhat slow when there are many references to rename,
since each rename is done in a separate call to rename_ref() as opposed
to grouping all renames together into the same transaction. It would be
nice to execute all renames as a single transaction, but there is a
snag: the reference transaction backend doesn't support renames during a
transaction (only individually, via rename_ref()).
The reasons there are described in more detail in [1], but the main
problem is that in order to preserve the existing reflog, it must be
moved while holding both locks (i.e., on "oldname" and "newname"), and
the ref transaction code doesn't support inserting arbitrary actions
into the middle of a transaction like that.
As an aside, adding support for this to the ref transaction code is
less straightforward than inserting both a ref_update() and ref_delete()
call into the same transaction. rename_ref()'s special handling to
detect D/F conflicts would need to be rewritten for the transaction code
if we wanted to proactively catch D/F conflicts when renaming a
reference during a transaction. The reftable backend could support this
much more readily because of its lack of D/F conflicts.
Instead of a more complex modification to the ref transaction code,
display a progress meter when running verbosely in order to convince the
user that Git is doing work while renaming a remote.
This is mostly done as-expected, with the minor caveat that we
intentionally count symrefs renames twice, since renaming a symref takes
place over two separate calls (one to delete the old one, and another to
create the new one).

Enable use of 'merged_sparse_dir' in 'threeway_merge'. As with two-way

referencing the index, avoiding sparse index expansion.
As with two-way merge, the 't/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh' test
'read-tree --merge with edit/edit conflicts in sparse directories' confirms
that three-way merges with edit/edit changes (both with and without
conflicts) inside a sparse directory result in the correct index state or
error message. To ensure the index is not unnecessarily expanded, add
three-way merge cases to 'sparse index is not expanded: read-tree'.

Enable two-way merge with 'git read-tree' without expanding the sparse
index. When in a sparse index, a two-way merge will trivially succeed as
long as there are not changes to the same sparse directory in multiple trees
(i.e., sparse directory-level "edit-edit" conflicts). If there are such
conflicts, the merge will fail despite the possibility that individual files
could merge cleanly.
In order to resolve these "edit-edit" conflicts, "conflicted" sparse
directories are - rather than rejected - merged by traversing their
associated trees by OID. For each child of the sparse directory:
1. Files are merged as normal (see Documentation/git-read-tree.txt for
details).
2. Subdirectories are treated as sparse directories and merged in
'twoway_merge'. If there are no conflicts, they are merged according to
the rules in Documentation/git-read-tree.txt; otherwise, the subdirectory
is recursively traversed and merged.
This process allows sparse directories to be individually merged at the
necessary depth *without* expanding a full index.
The 't/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh' test 'read-tree --merge with
edit/edit conflicts in sparse directories' tests two-way merges with 1)
changes inside sparse directories that do not conflict and 2) changes that
do conflict (with the correct file(s) reported in the error message).
Additionally, add two-way merge cases to 'sparse index is not expanded:
read-tree' to confirm that the index is not expanded regardless of whether
edit/edit conflicts are present in a sparse directory.

When 'git read-tree' is provided with a prefix, expand the index only if the
prefix is equivalent to a sparse directory or contained within one. If the
index is not expanded in these cases, 'ce_in_traverse_path' will indicate
that the relevant sparse directory is not in the prefix/traverse path,
skipping past it and not unpacking the appropriate tree(s).
If the prefix is in-cone, its sparse subdirectories (if any) will be
traversed correctly without index expansion.
The behavior of 'git read-tree' with prefixes 1) inside of cone, 2) equal to
a sparse directory, and 3) inside a sparse directory are all tested as part
of the 't/t1092-sparse-checkout-compatibility.sh' test 'read-tree --prefix',

error; however, the repository root would be interpreted as valid when
specified as '--prefix=/'. This is due to leniency around trailing directory
separators on prefixes (e.g., allowing both '--prefix=my-dir' and
'--prefix=my-dir/') - the '/' in the prefix is actually the *trailing*
slash, although it could be misinterpreted as a *leading* slash.
To remove the confusing repo root-as-'/' case and make it clear that

When fetching from a remote repository we will by default write what has
been fetched into the special FETCH_HEAD reference. The order in which
references are written depends on whether the reference is for merge or
not, which, despite some other conditions, is also determined based on
whether the old object ID the reference is being updated from actually
exists in the repository.
To write FETCH_HEAD we thus loop through all references thrice: once for
the references that are about to be merged, once for the references that
are not for merge, and finally for all references that are ignored. For
every iteration, we then look up the old object ID to determine whether
the referenced object exists so that we can label it as "not-for-merge"
if it doesn't exist. It goes without saying that this can be expensive
in case where we are fetching a lot of references.
While this is hard to avoid in the case where we're writing FETCH_HEAD,
users can in fact ask us to skip this work via `--no-write-fetch-head`.
In that case, we do not care for the result of those lookups at all
because we don't have to order writes to FETCH_HEAD in the first place.
Skip this busywork in case we're not writing to FETCH_HEAD. The

Split up the check_object_signature() function into that non-streaming
version (it accepts an already filled "buf"), and a new
stream_object_signature() which will retrieve the object from storage,
and hash it on-the-fly.
All of the callers of check_object_signature() were effectively
calling two different functions, if we go by cyclomatic
complexity. I.e. they'd either take the early "if (map)" branch and
return early, or not. This has been the case since the "if (map)"
condition was added in 090ea12671 (parse_object: avoid putting whole
blob in core, 2012-03-07).
We can then further simplify the resulting check_object_signature()
function since only one caller wanted to pass a non-NULL "buf" and a
non-NULL "real_oidp". That "read_loose_object()" codepath used by "git
fsck" can instead use hash_object_file() followed by oideq().

there.
All except one caller of it had a valid "enum object_type" for us,

See [1] for the discussion that prompted this patch, i.e. new code in

In the case of fast-import.c the callers unfortunately need to cast
back & forth between "unsigned char *" and "char *", since
format_object_header() ad encode_in_pack_object_header() take
different signedness.

In sparse-checkout add/set under cone mode, the arguments passed are
supposed to be directories rather than gitignore-style patterns.
However, given the amount of effort spent in the manual discussing
patterns, it is easy for users to assume they need to pass patterns such
as
/foo/*
or
!/bar/*/
or perhaps they really do ignore the directory rule and specify a
random gitignore-style pattern like
*.c
To help catch such mistakes, throw an error if any of the positional
arguments:
* starts with any of '/!'
* contains any of '*?[]'
Inform users they can pass --skip-checks if they have a directory that
really does have such special characters in its name. (We exclude '\'
because of sparse-checkout's special handling of backslashes; see
the MINGW test in t1091.46.)

The set and add subcommands accept multiple positional arguments.
The meaning of these arguments differs slightly in the two modes:
Cone mode only accepts directories. If given a file, it would
previously treat it as a directory, causing not just the file itself to
be included but all sibling files as well -- likely against users'
expectations. Throw an error if the specified path is a file in the
index. Provide a --skip-checks argument to allow users to override
(e.g. for the case when the given path IS a directory on another
branch).
Non-cone mode accepts general gitignore patterns. There are many
reasons to avoid this mode, but one possible reason to use it instead of
cone mode: to be able to select individual files within a directory.
However, if a file is passed to set/add in non-cone mode, you won't be
selecting a single file, you'll be selecting a file with the same name
in any directory. Thus users will likely want to prefix any paths they
specify with a leading '/' character; warn users if the patterns they
specify exactly name a file because it means they are likely missing
such a leading slash.

In cone mode, non-option arguments to set & add are clearly paths, and
as such, we should pay attention to prefix.
In non-cone mode, it is not clear that folks intend to provide paths
since the inputs are gitignore-style patterns. Paying attention to
prefix would prevent folks from doing things like
git sparse-checkout add /.gitattributes
git sparse-checkout add '/toplevel-dir/*'
In fact, the former will result in
fatal: '/.gitattributes' is outside repository...
while the later will result in
fatal: Invalid path '/toplevel-dir': No such file or directory
despite the fact that both are valid gitignore-style patterns that would
select real files if added to the sparse-checkout file. This might lead
people to just use the path without the leading slash, potentially
resulting in them grabbing files with the same name throughout the
directory hierarchy contrary to their expectations. See also [1] and
[2]. Adding prefix seems to just be fraught with error; so for now
simply throw an error in non-cone mode when sparse-checkout set/add are
run from a subdirectory.

commit f2e3a218e8 ("sparse-checkout: enable `set` to initialize
sparse-checkout mode", 2021-12-14) made the `set` command able to
initialize sparse-checkout mode, but it also had to function when
sparse-checkout mode was already setup and the user just wanted to
change the sparsity paths. So, if the user passed --cone or --no-cone,
then we should override the current setting, but if they didn't pass
either, we should use whatever the current cone mode setting is.
Unfortunately, there was a small error in the logic in that it would not
set the in-memory cone mode value (core_sparse_checkout_one) when
--no-cone was specified, but since it did set the config setting on
disk, any subsequent git invocation would correctly get non-cone mode.
As such, the error did not previously matter. However, a subsequent
commit will add some logic that depends on core_sparse_checkout_cone
being set to the correct mode, so make sure it is set consistently with
the config values we will be writing to disk.

Add a new flag --batch-command that accepts commands and arguments
from stdin, similar to git-update-ref --stdin.
At GitLab, we use a pair of long running cat-file processes when
accessing object content. One for iterating over object metadata with
--batch-check, and the other to grab object contents with --batch.
However, if we had --batch-command, we wouldn't need to keep both
processes around, and instead just have one --batch-command process
where we can flip between getting object info, and getting object
contents. Since we have a pair of cat-file processes per repository,
this means we can get rid of roughly half of long lived git cat-file
processes. Given there are many repositories being accessed at any given
time, this can lead to huge savings.
git cat-file --batch-command
will enter an interactive command mode whereby the user can enter in
commands and their arguments that get queued in memory:
<command1> [arg1] [arg2] LF
<command2> [arg1] [arg2] LF
When --buffer mode is used, commands will be queued in memory until a
flush command is issued that execute them:
flush LF
The reason for a flush command is that when a consumer process (A)
talks to a git cat-file process (B) and interactively writes to and
reads from it in --buffer mode, (A) needs to be able to control when
the buffer is flushed to stdout.
Currently, from (A)'s perspective, the only way is to either
1. kill (B)'s process
2. send an invalid object to stdin.
1. is not ideal from a performance perspective as it will require
spawning a new cat-file process each time, and 2. is hacky and not a
good long term solution.
With this mechanism of queueing up commands and letting (A) issue a
flush command, process (A) can control when the buffer is flushed and
can guarantee it will receive all of the output when in --buffer mode.
--batch-command also will not allow (B) to flush to stdout until a flush
is received.
This patch adds the basic structure for adding command which can be
extended in the future to add more commands. It also adds the following
two commands (on top of the flush command):
contents <object> LF
info <object> LF
The contents command takes an <object> argument and prints out the object
contents.
The info command takes an <object> argument and prints out the object
metadata.
These can be used in the following way with --buffer:
info <object> LF
contents <object> LF
contents <object> LF
info <object> LF
flush LF
info <object> LF
flush LF
When used without --buffer:
info <object> LF
contents <object> LF
contents <object> LF
info <object> LF
info <object> LF

There is value in renaming cmdmode in any case. cmdmode refers to how

When fetching with the `--prune` flag we will delete any local
references matching the fetch refspec which have disappeared on the
remote. This step is not currently covered by the `--atomic` flag: we
delete branches even though updating of local references has failed,
which means that the fetch is not an all-or-nothing operation.
Fix this bug by passing in the global transaction into `prune_refs()`:
if one is given, then we'll only queue up deletions and not commit them
right away.
This change also improves performance when pruning many branches in a
repository with a big packed-refs file: every references is pruned in
its own transaction, which means that we potentially have to rewrite
the packed-refs files for every single reference we're about to prune.
The following benchmark demonstrates this: it performs a pruning fetch
from a repository with a single reference into a repository with 100k
references, which causes us to prune all but one reference. This is of
course a very artificial setup, but serves to demonstrate the impact of
only having to write the packed-refs file once:
Benchmark 1: git fetch --prune --atomic +refs/*:refs/* (HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 2.366 s ± 0.021 s [User: 0.858 s, System: 1.508 s]

When fetching references from a remote we by default also fetch all tags
which point into the history we have fetched. This is a separate step
performed after updating local references because it requires us to walk
over the history on the client-side to determine whether the remote has
announced any tags which point to one of the fetched commits.
This backfilling of tags isn't covered by the `--atomic` flag: right
now, it only applies to the step where we update our local references.
This is an oversight at the time the flag was introduced: its purpose is
to either update all references or none, but right now we happily update
local references even in the case where backfilling failed.
Fix this by pulling up creation of the reference transaction such that
we can pass the same transaction to both the code which updates local
references and to the code which backfills tags. This allows us to only
commit the transaction in case both actions succeed.
Note that we also have to start passing the transaction into
`find_non_local_tags()`: this function is responsible for finding all
tags which we need to backfill. Right now, it will happily return tags
which have already been updated with our local references. But when we
use a single transaction for both local references and backfilling then
it may happen that we try to queue the same reference update twice to
the transaction, which consequently triggers a bug. We thus have to skip
over any tags which have already been queued.

When the backfilling of tags fails we do not report this error to the
caller, but only report it implicitly at a later point when reporting
updated references. This leaves callers unable to act upon the
information of whether the backfilling succeeded or not.

callstack. This causes us to correctly propagate the error back to the

There are two different locations where we're appending to FETCH_HEAD:

Both times we open the file, append to it and then commit it into place,
which is essentially duplicate work.

The fetch code flow is a bit hard to understand right now:
1. We optionally prune all references which have vanished on the
remote side.
2. We fetch and update all other references locally.
3. We update the upstream branch in the gitconfig.
4. We backfill tags pointing into the history we have just fetched.
It is quite confusing that we fetch objects and update references in
both (2) and (4), which is further stressed by the point that we use a
`skip` goto label to jump from (3) to (4) in case we fail to update the
gitconfig as expected.
Reorder the code to first update all local references, and only after we
have done so update the upstream branch information. This improves the
code flow and furthermore makes it easier to refactor the way we update
references together.

Have the diff_free() function call clear_pathspec(). Since the

rely on it instead.
When I added the diff_free() function in e900d494dc (diff: add an API
for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11) I simply missed this, or wasn't
interested in it. Let's consolidate this now. This means that any
future callers (and I've got revision.c in mind) that embed a "struct
diff_options" can simply call diff_free() instead of needing know that
it has an embedded pathspec.
This does fix a bunch of leaks, but I can't mark any test here as
passing under the SANITIZE=leak testing mode because in
886e1084d7 (builtin/: add UNLEAKs, 2017-10-01) an UNLEAK(rev) was
added, which plasters over the memory
leak. E.g. "t4011-diff-symlink.sh" would report fewer leaks with this
fix, but because of the UNLEAK() reports none.
I'll eventually loop around to removing that UNLEAK(rev) annotation as
I'll fix deeper issues with the revisions API leaking. This is one
small step on the way there, a new freeing function in revisions.c
will want to call this diff_free().

Simplify the parsing of "grep.patternType" and
"grep.extendedRegexp". This changes no behavior, but gets rid of
complex parsing logic that isn't needed anymore.
When "grep.patternType" was introduced in 84befcd0a4 (grep: add a
grep.patternType configuration setting, 2012-08-03) we promised that:
1. You can set "grep.patternType", and "[setting it to] 'default'
will return to the default matching behavior".
In that context "the default" meant whatever the configuration
system specified before that change, i.e. via grep.extendedRegexp.
2. We'd support the existing "grep.extendedRegexp" option, but ignore
it when the new "grep.patternType" option is set. We said we'd
only ignore the older "grep.extendedRegexp" option "when the
`grep.patternType` option is set to a value other than
'default'".
In a preceding commit we changed grep_config() to be called after
grep_init(), which means that much of the complexity here can go
away.
As before both "grep.patternType" and "grep.extendedRegexp" are
last-one-wins variable, with "grep.extendedRegexp" yielding to
"grep.patternType", except when "grep.patternType=default".
Note that as the previously added tests indicate this cannot be done
on-the-fly as we see the config variables, without introducing more
state keeping. I.e. if we see:
-c grep.extendedRegexp=false
-c grep.patternType=default
-c extendedRegexp=true
We need to select ERE, since grep.patternType=default unselects that
variable, which normally has higher precedence, but we also need to
select BRE in cases of:
-c grep.extendedRegexp=true \
-c grep.extendedRegexp=false
Which would not be the case for this, which select ERE:
-c grep.patternType=extended \
-c grep.extendedRegexp=false
Therefore we cannot do this on-the-fly in grep_config without also
introducing tracking variables for not only the pattern type, but what
the source of that pattern type was.
So we need to decide on the pattern after our config was fully
parsed. Let's do that by deferring the decision on the pattern type
until it's time to compile it in compile_regexp().
By that time we've not only parsed the config, but also handled the
command-line options. Those will set "opt.pattern_type_option" (*not*
"opt.extended_regexp_option"!).
At that point all we need to do is see if "grep.patternType" was
UNSPECIFIED in the end (including an explicit "=default"), if so we'll
use the "grep.extendedRegexp" configuration, if any.

The grep_init() function used the odd pattern of initializing the
passed-in "struct grep_opt" with a statically defined "grep_defaults"
struct, which would be modified in-place when we invoked
grep_config().
So we effectively (b) initialized config, (a) then defaults, (c)
followed by user options. Usually those are ordered as "a", "b" and
"c" instead.
As the comments being removed here show the previous behavior needed
to be carefully explained as we'd potentially share the populated
configuration among different instances of grep_init(). In practice we
didn't do that, but now that it can't be a concern anymore let's
remove those comments.
This does not change the behavior of any of the configuration
variables or options. That would have been the case if we didn't move
around the grep_config() call in "builtin/log.c". But now that we call
"grep_config" after "git_log_config" and "git_format_config" we'll
need to pass in the already initialized "struct grep_opt *".
See 6ba9bb76e0 (grep: copy struct in one fell swoop, 2020-11-29) and
7687a0541e (grep: move the configuration parsing logic to grep.[ch],
2012-10-09) for the commits that added the comments.
The memcpy() pattern here will be optimized away and follows the
convention of other *_init() functions. See 5726a6b401 (*.c *_init():
define in terms of corresponding *_INIT macro, 2021-07-01).

Change code in "builtin/grep.c" and "builtin/ls-tree.c" to trust the
"prefix" passed from "run_builtin()". The "prefix" we get from setup.c
is either going to be NULL or a string of length >0, never "".
So we can drop the "prefix && *prefix" checks added for
"builtin/grep.c" in 0d042fecf2 (git-grep: show pathnames relative to
the current directory, 2006-08-11), and for "builtin/ls-tree.c" in
a69dd585fc (ls-tree: chomp leading directories when run from a
subdirectory, 2005-12-23).
As seen in code in revision.c that was added in cd676a5136 (diff
--relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory,
2008-02-12) we already have existing code that does away with this
assertion.
This makes it easier to reason about a subsequent change to the
"prefix_length" code in grep.c in a subsequent commit, and since we're
going to the trouble of doing that let's leave behind an assert() to
promise this to any future callers.
For "builtin/grep.c" it would be painful to pass the "prefix" down the
callchain of:
cmd_grep -> grep_tree -> grep_submodule -> grep_cache -> grep_oid ->
grep_source_name
So for the code that needs it in grep_source_name() let's add a
"grep_prefix" variable similar to the existing "ls_tree_prefix".
While at it let's move the code in cmd_ls_tree() around so that we
assign to the "ls_tree_prefix" right after declaring the variables,
and stop assigning to "prefix". We only subsequently used that
variable later in the function after clobbering it. Let's just use our
own "grep_prefix" instead.
Let's also add an assert() in git.c, so that we'll make this promise
about the "prefix" to any current and future callers, as well as to
any readers of the code.
Code history:
* The strlen() in "grep.c" hasn't been used since 493b7a08d8 (grep:
accept relative paths outside current working directory, 2009-09-05).
When that code was added in 0d042fecf2 (git-grep: show pathnames
relative to the current directory, 2006-08-11) we used the length.
But since 493b7a08d8 we haven't used it for anything except a
boolean check that we could have done on the "prefix" member
itself.

When updating references via git-fetch(1), then by default we report to
the user which references have been changed. This output is formatted in
a nice table such that the different columns are aligned. Because the
first column contains abbreviated object IDs we thus need to iterate
over all refs which have changed and compute the minimum length for
their respective abbreviated hashes. While this effort makes sense in
most cases, it is wasteful when the user passes the `--quiet` flag: we
don't print the summary, but still compute the length.
Skip computing the summary width when the user asked for us to be quiet.
This gives us a speedup of nearly 10% when doing a mirror-fetch in a
repository with thousands of references being updated:

When cloning a repo with a --filter and with --recurse-submodules
enabled, the partial clone filter only applies to the top-level repo.
This can lead to unexpected bandwidth and disk usage for projects which
include large submodules. For example, a user might wish to make a
partial clone of Gerrit and would run:
`git clone --recurse-submodules --filter=blob:5k https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit`.
However, only the superproject would be a partial clone; all the
submodules would have all blobs downloaded regardless of their size.
With this change, the same filter can also be applied to submodules,
meaning the expected bandwidth and disk savings apply consistently.
To avoid changing default behavior, add a new clone flag,
`--also-filter-submodules`. When this is set along with `--filter` and
`--recurse-submodules`, the filter spec is passed along to git-submodule
and git-submodule--helper, such that submodule clones also have the
filter applied.
This applies the same filter to the superproject and all submodules.
Users who need to customize the filter per-submodule would need to clone
with `--no-recurse-submodules` and then manually initialize each
submodule with the proper filter.
Applying filters to submodules should be safe thanks to Jonathan Tan's
recent work [1, 2, 3] eliminating the use of alternates as a method of
accessing submodule objects, so any submodule object access now triggers
a lazy fetch from the submodule's promisor remote if the accessed object
is missing. This patch is a reworked version of [4], which was created
prior to Jonathan Tan's work.

"git fetch --negotiate-only" is an internal command used by "git

fetch: help translators by reusing the same message template
fetch --negotiate-only: do not update submodules

When we taught these commands about the sparse index, we did not account
for the fact that the `cmd_*()` functions _can_ be called without a
gitdir, namely when `-h` is passed to show the usage.
A plausible approach to address this is to move the
`prepare_repo_settings()` calls right after the `parse_options()` calls:
The latter will never return when it handles `-h`, and therefore it is
safe to assume that we have a `gitdir` at that point, as long as the
built-in is marked with the `RUN_SETUP` flag.
However, it is unfortunately not that simple. In `cmd_pack_objects()`,
for example, the repo settings need to be fully populated so that the
command-line options `--sparse`/`--no-sparse` can override them, not the
other way round.
Therefore, we choose to imitate the strategy taken in `cmd_diff()`,
where we simply do not bother to prepare and initialize the repo
settings unless we have a `gitdir`.

When adding a new worktree, it is reasonable to expect that we want to
use the current set of sparse-checkout settings for that new worktree.
This is particularly important for repositories where the worktree would
become too large to be useful. This is even more important when using
partial clone as well, since we want to avoid downloading the missing
blobs for files that should not be written to the new worktree.
The only way to create such a worktree without this intermediate step of
expanding the full worktree is to copy the sparse-checkout patterns and
config settings during 'git worktree add'. Each worktree has its own
sparse-checkout patterns, and the default behavior when the
sparse-checkout file is missing is to include all paths at HEAD. Thus,
we need to have patterns from somewhere, they might as well be the
current worktree's patterns. These are then modified independently in
the future.
In addition to the sparse-checkout file, copy the worktree config file
if worktree config is enabled and the file exists. This will copy over
any important settings to ensure the new worktree behaves the same as
the current one. The only exception we must continue to make is that
core.bare and core.worktree should become unset in the worktree's config
file.

`git sparse-checkout set/init` enables worktree-specific
configuration[*] by setting extensions.worktreeConfig=true, but neglects
to perform the additional necessary bookkeeping of relocating
`core.bare=true` and `core.worktree` from $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config to
$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.worktree, as documented in git-worktree.txt. As a
result of this oversight, these settings, which are nonsensical for
secondary worktrees, can cause Git commands to incorrectly consider a
worktree bare (in the case of `core.bare`) or operate on the wrong
worktree (in the case of `core.worktree`). Fix this problem by taking
advantage of the recently-added init_worktree_config() which enables
`extensions.worktreeConfig` and takes care of necessary bookkeeping.
While at it, for backward-compatibility reasons, also stop upgrading the
repository format to "1" since doing so is (unintentionally) not
required to take advantage of `extensions.worktreeConfig`, as explained
by 11664196ac ("Revert "check_repository_format_gently(): refuse
extensions for old repositories"", 2020-07-15).
[*] The main reason to use worktree-specific config for the
sparse-checkout builtin was to avoid enabling sparse-checkout patterns
in one and causing a loss of files in another. If a worktree does not
have a sparse-checkout patterns file, then the sparse-checkout logic
will not kick in on that worktree.

To improve the submodules UX, we would like to teach Git to handle
branches in submodules. Start this process by teaching "git branch" the
--recurse-submodules option so that "git branch --recurse-submodules
topic" will create the `topic` branch in the superproject and its
submodules.
Although this commit does not introduce breaking changes, it does not
work well with existing --recurse-submodules commands because "git
branch --recurse-submodules" writes to the submodule ref store, but most
commands only consider the superproject gitlink and ignore the submodule
ref store. For example, "git checkout --recurse-submodules" will check
out the commits in the superproject gitlinks (and put the submodules in
detached HEAD) instead of checking out the submodule branches.
Because of this, this commit introduces a new configuration value,
`submodule.propagateBranches`. The plan is for Git commands to
prioritize submodule ref store information over superproject gitlinks if
this value is true. Because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to
submodule ref stores, for the sake of clarity, it will not function
unless this configuration value is set.
This commit also includes changes that support working with submodules
from a superproject commit because "branch --recurse-submodules" (and
future commands) need to read .gitmodules and gitlinks from the
superproject commit, but submodules are typically read from the
filesystem's .gitmodules and the index's gitlinks. These changes are:
* add a submodules_of_tree() helper that gives the relevant
information of an in-tree submodule (e.g. path and oid) and
initializes the repository
* add is_tree_submodule_active() by adding a treeish_name parameter to
is_submodule_active()
* add the "submoduleNotUpdated" advice to advise users to update the
submodules in their trees

Normally diffs will contain a hunk header of the format
"@@ -2,2 +2,15 @@ code". However when there is only 1 line of
change, the unified diff format allows for the second comma
separated value to be omitted in either before or after
line counts.
This can produce hunk headers that look like
"@@ -2 +2,18 @@ code" or "@@ -2,2 +2 @@ code".
As a result, scan_hunk_header mistakenly returns the line
number as line count, which then results in unpredictable
parsing errors with the rest of the patch, including giving
multiple lines of output for a single commit.
Fix by explicitly setting line count to 1 when there is
no comma, and add a test.

Since some callers may want to send warning messages to somewhere other
than stdout/stderr, stop printing "warning: Cannot merge binary files"
from ll-merge and instead modify the return status of ll_merge() to
indicate when a merge of binary files has occurred. Message printing
probably does not belong in a "low-level merge" anyway.
This commit continues printing the message as-is, just from the callers
instead of within ll_merge(). Future changes will start handling the
message differently in the merge-ort codepath.
There was one special case here: the callers in rerere.c do NOT check
for and print such a message; since those code paths explicitly skip
over binary files, there is no reason to check for a return status of
LL_MERGE_BINARY_CONFLICT or print the related message.
Note that my methodology included first modifying ll_merge() to return
a struct, so that the compiler would catch all the callers for me and
ensure I had modified all of them. After modifying all of them, I then
changed the struct to an enum.

When this option is specified, we remerge all (two parent) merge commits
and diff the actual merge commit to the automatically created version,
in order to show how users removed conflict markers, resolved the
different conflict versions, and potentially added new changes outside
of conflict regions in order to resolve semantic merge problems (or,
possibly, just to hide other random changes).
This capability works by creating a temporary object directory and
marking it as the primary object store. This makes it so that any blobs
or trees created during the automatic merge are easily removable
afterwards by just deleting all objects from the temporary object
directory.
There are a few ways that this implementation is suboptimal:
* `log --remerge-diff` becomes slow, because the temporary object
directory can fill with many loose objects while running
* the log output can be muddied with misplaced "warning: cannot merge
binary files" messages, since ll-merge.c unconditionally writes those
messages to stderr while running instead of allowing callers to
manage them.
* important conflict and warning messages are simply dropped; thus for
conflicts like modify/delete or rename/rename or file/directory which
are not representable with content conflict markers, there may be no
way for a user of --remerge-diff to know that there had been a
conflict which was resolved (and which possibly motivated other
changes in the merge commit).
* when fixing the previous issue, note that some unimportant conflict
and warning messages might start being included. We should instead
make sure these remain dropped.
Subsequent commits will address these issues.
