dd9ff30dff Merge branch 'gc/recursive-fetch-with-unused-submodules'
When "git fetch --recurse-submodules" grabbed submodule commits
that would be needed to recursively check out newly fetched commits
in the superproject, it only paid attention to submodules that are
in the current checkout of the superproject.  We now do so for all
submodules that have been run "git submodule init" on.

  submodule: fix latent check_has_commit() bug
  fetch: fetch unpopulated, changed submodules
  submodule: move logic into fetch_task_create()

77e56d55ba diff.c: fix a double-free regression in a18d66cefb
My a18d66cefb (diff.c: free "buf" in diff_words_flush(), 2022-03-04)
has what it retrospect is a rather obvious bug (I don't know what I
was thinking, if it all): We use the "emitted_symbols" allocation in
append_emitted_diff_symbol() N times, but starting with a18d66cefb
we'd free it after its first use!

The correct way to free this data would have been to add the free() to
the existing free_diff_words_data() function, so let's do that. The
"ecbdata->diff_words->opt->emitted_symbols" might be NULL, so let's
add a trivial free_emitted_diff_symbols() helper next to the function
that appends to it.

This fixes the "no effect on show from" leak tested for in the
preceding commit. Perhaps confusingly this change will skip that test
under SANITIZE=leak, but otherwise opt-in the
"t4015-diff-whitespace.sh" test.

The reason is that a18d66cefb "fixed" the leak in the preceding "no
effect on diff" test, but for the first call to diff_words_flush() the
"wol->buf" would be NULL, so we wouldn't double-free (and
SANITIZE=address would see nothing amiss). With this change we'll
still pass that test, showing that we've also fixed leaks on this
codepath.

We then have to skip the new "no effect on show" test because it
happens to trip over an unrelated memory leak (in revision.c). The
same goes for "move detection with submodules". Both of them pass with
SANITIZE=address though, which would error on the "no effect on show"
test before this change.

b59ec03cb5 tests: demonstrate "show --word-diff --color-moved" regression
Add a failing test which demonstrates a regression in
a18d66cefb ("diff.c: free "buf" in diff_words_flush()", 2022-03-04),
the regression is discussed in detail in the subsequent commit. With
it running `git show --word-diff --color-moved` with SANITIZE=address
would emit:

	==31191==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: attempting double-free on 0x617000021100 in thread T0:

This was not caught by the test suite because we test `diff
--word-diff --color-moved` only so far.

Therefore, add a test for `show`, too.

5fff35d880 submodule: fix latent check_has_commit() bug
When check_has_commit() is called on a missing submodule, initialization
of the struct repository fails, but it attempts to clear the struct
anyway (which is a fatal error). This bug is masked by its only caller,
submodule_has_commits(), first calling add_submodule_odb(). The latter
fails if the submodule does not exist, making submodule_has_commits()
exit early and not invoke check_has_commit().

Fix this bug, and because calling add_submodule_odb() is no longer
necessary as of 13a2f620b2 (submodule: pass repo to
check_has_commit(), 2021-10-08), remove that call too.

This is the last caller of add_submodule_odb(), so remove that
function. (Submodule ODBs are still added as alternates via
add_submodule_odb_by_path().)

b90d9f7632 fetch: fetch unpopulated, changed submodules
"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.

5327d8982a sequencer: use reverse_commit_list() helper
Instead of creating a new allocation, reverse the original list
in-place by calling the reverse_commit_list() helper.

The original code discards the list "bases" after storing its
reverse copy in a newly created list "reversed".  If the code that
followed from here used both "bases" and "reversed", the
modification would not have worked, but since the original list
"bases" gets discarded, we can simply reverse "bases" in-place with
the reverse_commit_list() helper and reuse the same variable in the
code that follows.

builtin/merge.c has been left unmodified, since in its case, the
original list is needed separately from its reverse copy by the
code.

841fd28ce2 completion: tab completion of filenames for 'git restore'
If no --args are present after 'git restore', it assumes that you
want to tab-complete one of the files with unstaged uncommitted
changes.

If a file has been staged, we don't want to list it, as restoring those
requires a slightly more complex `git restore --staged`, so we only list
those files that are --modified. While --committable also looks like
a good candidate, that includes changes that have been staged.

bc22d845c4 core.fsync: new option to harden references
When writing both loose and packed references to disk we first create a
lockfile, write the updated values into that lockfile, and on commit we
rename the file into place. According to filesystem developers, this
behaviour is broken because applications should always sync data to disk
before doing the final rename to ensure data consistency [1][2][3]. If
applications fail to do this correctly, a hard crash of the machine can
easily result in corrupted on-disk data.

This kind of corruption can in fact be easily observed with Git when the
machine hard-resets shortly after writing references to disk. On
machines with ext4, this will likely lead to the "empty files" problem:
the file has been renamed, but its data has not been synced to disk. The
result is that the reference is corrupt, and in the worst case this can
lead to data loss.

Implement a new option to harden references so that users and admins can
avoid this scenario by syncing locked loose and packed references to
disk before we rename them into place.

b9f5d0358d core.fsync: documentation and user-friendly aggregate options
This commit adds aggregate options for the core.fsync setting that are
more user-friendly. These options are specified in terms of 'levels of
safety', indicating which Git operations are considered to be sync
points for durability.

The new documentation is also included here in its entirety for ease of
review.

f4976ef739 maintenance: fix synopsis in documentation
The synopsis for 'git maintenance' did not include the commands other
than the 'run' command. Update this to include the others. The 'start'
command is the only one of these that parses additional options, and
then only the --scheduler option.

Also move the 'register' command down after 'stop' and before
'unregister' for a logical grouping of the commands instead of an
alphabetical one. The diff makes it look as three other commands are
moved up.
