"git add -i" was rewritten in C some time ago and has been in
testing; the reimplementation is now exposed to general public by
default.
* js/use-builtin-add-i:
add -i: default to the built-in implementation
t2016: require the PERL prereq only when necessary
The tests that ensured merges stop when interfering local changes
are present did not make sure that local changes are preserved; now
they do.
* jc/t6424-failing-merge-preserve-local-changes:
t6424: make sure a failed merge preserves local changes
With the new http.curloptResolve configuration, the CURLOPT_RESOLVE
mechanism that allows cURL based applications to use pre-resolved
IP addresses for the requests is exposed to the scripts.
* cc/http-curlopt-resolve:
http: add custom hostname to IP address resolutions
In http.c, the run_active_slot() function allows the given "slot" to
make progress by calling step_active_slots() in a loop repeatedly,
and the loop is not left until the request held in the slot
completes.
Ages ago, we used to use the slot->in_use member to get out of the
loop, which misbehaved when the request in "slot" completes (at
which time, the result of the request is copied away from the slot,
and the in_use member is cleared, making the slot ready to be
reused), and the "slot" gets reused to service a different request
(at which time, the "slot" becomes in_use again, even though it is
for a different request). The loop terminating condition mistakenly
thought that the original request has yet to be completed.
Today's code, after baa7b67d (HTTP slot reuse fixes, 2006-03-10)
fixed this issue, uses a separate "slot->finished" member that is
set in run_active_slot() to point to an on-stack variable, and the
code that completes the request in finish_active_slot() clears the
on-stack variable via the pointer to signal that the particular
request held by the slot has completed. It also clears the in_use
member (as before that fix), so that the slot itself can safely be
reused for an unrelated request.
One thing that is not quite clean in this arrangement is that,
unless the slot gets reused, at which point the finished member is
reset to NULL, the member keeps the value of &finished, which
becomes a dangling pointer into the stack when run_active_slot()
returns. Clear the finished member before the control leaves the
function, which has a side effect of unconfusing compilers like
recent GCC 12 that is over-eager to warn against such an assignment.

"git remote -v" now shows the list-objects-filter used during
fetching from the remote, if available.
* ac/remote-v-with-object-list-filters:
builtin/remote.c: teach `-v` to list filters for promisor remotes
With a recent update to refuse access to repositories of other
people by default, "sudo make install" and "sudo git describe"
stopped working. This series intends to loosen it while keeping
the safety.
* cb/path-owner-check-with-sudo:

git-compat-util: avoid failing dir ownership checks if running privileged
t: regression git needs safe.directory when using sudo
"git -c branch.autosetupmerge=simple branch $A $B" will set the $B
as $A's upstream only when $A and $B shares the same name, and "git
-c push.default=simple" on branch $A would push to update the
branch $A at the remote $B came from. Also more places use the
sole remote, if exists, before defaulting to 'origin'.
* tk/simple-autosetupmerge:
push: new config option "push.autoSetupRemote" supports "simple" push
push: default to single remote even when not named origin
branch: new autosetupmerge option 'simple' for matching branches
"git fetch --recurse-submodules" from multiple remotes (either from
a remote group, or "--all") used to make one extra "git fetch" in
the submodules, which has been corrected.
* jc/avoid-redundant-submodule-fetch:
fetch: do not run a redundant fetch from submodule
The way "git fetch" without "--update-head-ok" ensures that HEAD in
no worktree points at any ref being updated was too wasteful, which
has been optimized a bit.
* os/fetch-check-not-current-branch:
fetch: limit shared symref check only for local branches
Documentation update.
* pb/ggg-in-mfc-doc:
MyFirstContribution: drop PR description for GGG single-patch contributions
MyFirstContribution: reference "The cover letter" in GitGitGadget section
MyFirstContribution: reference "The cover letter" in "Preparing Email"
MyFirstContribution: add standalone section on cover letter
MyFirstContribution: add "Anatomy of a Patch Series" section
"git fetch" unnecessarily failed when an unexpected optional
section appeared in the output, which has been corrected.
* jt/fetch-peek-optional-section:
fetch-pack: make unexpected peek result non-fatal
The "--current" option of "git show-branch" should have been made
incompatible with the "--reflog" mode, but this was not enforced,
which has been corrected.
* jc/show-branch-g-current:
show-branch: -g and --current are incompatible
"make coverage-report" without first running "make coverage" did
not produce any meaningful result, which has been corrected.
* ep/coverage-report-wants-test-to-have-run:
Makefile: add a prerequisite to the coverage-report target
Technically, the pointer difference `end - start` _could_ be negative,
and when cast to an (unsigned) `size_t` that would cause problems. In
this instance, the symptom is:
dir.c: In function 'git_url_basename':
dir.c:3087:13: error: 'memchr' specified bound [9223372036854775808, 0]
exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807
[-Werror=stringop-overread]
CC ewah/bitmap.o
3087 | if (memchr(start, '/', end - start) == NULL
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While it is a bit far-fetched to think that `end` (which is defined as
`repo + strlen(repo)`) and `start` (which starts at `repo` and never
steps beyond the NUL terminator) could result in such a negative
difference, GCC has no way of knowing that.
See also https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=85783.
Let's just add a safety check, primarily for GCC's benefit.

Git for Windows' SDK recently upgraded to GCC v12.x which points out
that the `pos` variable might be used even after the corresponding
memory was `realloc()`ed and therefore potentially no longer valid.
Since a subset of this SDK is used in Git's CI/PR builds, we need to fix
this to continue to be able to benefit from the CI/PR runs.
Note: This bug has been with us since 2a6b149c64 (mingw: avoid using
strbuf in syslog, 2011-10-06), and while it looks tempting to replace
the hand-rolled string manipulation with a `strbuf`-based one, that
commit's message explains why we cannot do that: The `syslog()` function
is called as part of the function in `daemon.c` which is set as the
`die()` routine, and since `strbuf_grow()` can call that function if it
runs out of memory, this would cause a nasty infinite loop that we do
not want to re-introduce.

"git archive --add-file=<path>" picked up the raw permission bits
from the path and propagated to zip output in some cases, without
normalization, which has been corrected (tar output did not have
this issue).

macOS CI jobs have been occasionally flaky due to tentative version
skew between perforce and the homebrew packager. Instead of
failing the whole CI job, just let it skip the p4 tests when this
happens.
