56f56ac50b style: do not "break" in switch() after "return"
Remove this unreachable code. It was found by SunCC, it's found by a
non-fatal warning emitted by SunCC. It's one of the things it's more
vehement about than GCC & Clang.

It complains about a lot of other similarly unreachable code, e.g. a
BUG(...) without a "return", and a "return 0" after a long if/else,
both of whom have "return" statements. Those are also genuine
redundancies to a compiler, but arguably make the code a bit easier to
read & less fragile to maintain.

These return/break cases are just unnecessary however, and as seen
here the surrounding code just did a plain "return" without a "break"
already.

14639a4779 compat-util: pretend that stub setitimer() always succeeds
When 15b52a44 (compat-util: type-check parameters of no-op
replacement functions, 2020-08-06) turned a handful of no-op
C-preprocessor macros into static inline functions to give the
callers a better type checking for their parameters, it forgot
to return anything from the stubbed out setitimer() function,
even though the function was defined to return an int just like the
real thing.

Since the original C-preprocessor macro implementation was to just
turn the call to the function an empty statement, we know that the
existing callers do not check the return value from it, and it does
not matter what value we return.  But it is safer to pretend that
the call succeeded by returning 0 than making it fail by returning -1
and clobbering errno with some value.

37e73233c3 strmap: make callers of strmap_remove() to call it in void context
Two "static inline" functions, both of which return void, call
strmap_remove() and tries to return the value it returns as their
return value, which is just bogus, as strmap_remove() returns void
itself.  Call it in the void context and fall-thru the control to
the end instead.

fcedbc1cf6 doc: mention Python 3.x supports
Commit 0b4396f068, (git-p4: make python2.7 the oldest supported version,
2019-12-13) pointed out that git-p4 uses Python 2.7-or-later features
in the code.

In addition, git-p4 gained enough support for Python 3 from
6cec21a82f, (git-p4: encode/decode communication with p4 for
python3, 2019-12-13).

Let's update our documentation to reflect that fact.

675704c74d init: provide useful advice about init.defaultBranch
To give ample warning for users wishing to override Git's the fall-back
for an unconfigured `init.defaultBranch` (in case we decide to change it
in a future Git version), let's introduce some advice that is shown upon
`git init` when that value is not set.

Note: two test cases in Git's test suite want to verify that the
`stderr` output of `git init` is empty. It is now necessary to suppress
the advice, we now do that via the `init.defaultBranch` setting. While
not strictly necessary, we also set this to `false` in
`test_create_repo()`.

cc0f13c57d get_default_branch_name(): prepare for showing some advice
We are about to introduce a message giving users running `git init` some
advice about `init.defaultBranch`. This will necessarily be done in
`repo_default_branch_name()`.

Not all code paths want to show that advice, though. In particular, the
`git clone` codepath _specifically_ asks for `init_db()` to be quiet,
via the `INIT_DB_QUIET` flag.

In preparation for showing users above-mentioned advice, let's change
the function signature of `get_default_branch_name()` to accept the
parameter `quiet`.

c5312033dd Makefile: don't use a versioned temp distribution directory
The 'dist' target uses a versioned temp directory, $(GIT_TARNAME), into
which it copies various files added to the distribution tarball. Should
it be necessary to remove this directory in the 'clean' target, since
the name depends on $(GIT_VERSION), the current HEAD must be positioned
on the same commit as when 'make dist' was issued. Otherwise, the target
will fail to remove that directory.

Create an '.dist-tmp-dir' directory and copy the various files into this
now un-versioned directory while creating the distribution tarball. Change
the 'clean' target to remove the '.dist-tmp-dir' directory, instead of the
version dependent $(GIT_TARNAME) directory.

98836a8a12 Makefile: don't try to clean old debian build product
The 'clean' target includes code to remove an '*.tar.gz' file that
was the by-product of a debian build. This was originally added by
commit 5a571cdd8a (Clean generated files a bit more, to cope with
Debian build droppings., 2005-08-12). However, all support for the
'debian build' was dropped by commit 7d0e65b892 (Retire debian/
directory., 2006-01-06), which seems to have simply forgotten to
remove the 'git-core_$(GIT_VERSION)-*.tar.gz' from the 'clean'
target. Remove it now.

e3a9237e84 gitweb/Makefile: conditionally include ../GIT-VERSION-FILE
The 'clean' target is still noticeably slow on cygwin, despite the
improvements made by previous patches. For example, the second
invocation of 'make clean' below:

  $ make clean >/dev/null 2>&1
  $ make clean
  ...
  make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ramsay/git/gitweb'
  make[2]: Entering directory '/home/ramsay/git'
  make[2]: 'GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date.
  make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/ramsay/git'
  ...
  $

has been timed at 10.361s on my laptop (an old core i5-4200M @ 2.50GHz,
8GB RAM, 1TB HDD).

Notice that the 'clean' target is making a nested call to the parent
Makefile to ensure that the GIT-VERSION-FILE is up-to-date. This is to
ensure that the $(GIT_VERSION) make variable is set, once that file had
been included. However, the 'clean' target does not use the $(GIT_VERSION)
variable, directly or indirectly, so it does not have any affect on what
the target removes. Therefore, the time spent on ensuring an up to date
GIT-VERSION-FILE is wasted effort.

In order to eliminate such wasted effort, use the value of the internal
$(MAKECMDGOALS) variable to only '-include ../GIT-VERSION-FILE' when the
target is not 'clean'. (This drops the time down to 8.430s, on my laptop,
giving an improvement of 18.64%).

54df87555b Documentation/Makefile: conditionally include doc.dep
The 'clean' target is noticeably slow on cygwin, even for a 'do-nothing'
invocation of 'make clean'. For example, the second 'make clean' below:

  $ make clean >/dev/null 2>&1
  $ make clean
  GIT_VERSION = 2.29.0
  ...
  make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ramsay/git/Documentation'
      GEN mergetools-list.made
      GEN cmd-list.made
      GEN doc.dep

  $

has been timed at 23.339s, using git v2.29.0, on my laptop (an old core
i5-4200M @ 2.50GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD).

Notice that, since the 'doc.dep' file does not exist, make takes the
time (about 8s) to generate several files in order to create the doc.dep
include file. (If an 'include' file is missing, but a target for the
said file is present in the Makefile, make will execute that target
and, if that file now exists, throw away all its internal data and
re-read and re-parse the Makefile). Having spent the time to include
the 'doc.dep' file, the 'clean' target immediately deletes those files.
The document dependencies specified in the 'doc.dep' include file,
expressed as make targets and prerequisites, do not affect what the
'clean' target removes. Therefore, the time spent in generating the
dependencies is completely wasted effort.

In order to eliminate such wasted effort, use the value of the internal
$(MAKECMDGOALS) variable to only '-include doc.dep' when the target is
not 'clean'. (This drops the time down to 12.364s, on my laptop, giving
an improvement of 47.02%).

e0d25686e3 Merge branch 'js/add-i-color-fix'
"git add -i" failed to honor custom colors configured to show
patches, which has been corrected.

* js/add-i-color-fix:
  add -i: verify in the tests that colors can be overridden
  add -p: prefer color.diff.context over color.diff.plain
  add -i (Perl version): color header to match the C version
  add -i (built-in): use the same indentation as the Perl version
  add -p (built-in): do not color the progress indicator separately
  add -i (built-in): use correct names to load color.diff.* config
  add -i (built-in): prevent the `reset` "color" from being configured
  add -i: use `reset_color` consistently
  add -p (built-in): imitate `xdl_format_hunk_hdr()` generating hunk headers
  add -i (built-in): send error messages to stderr
  add -i (built-in): do show an error message for incorrect inputs

469f17d097 t7064: avoid relying on a specific default branch name
To allow us to consider a change in the default behavior of `git init`
where it uses a more inclusive name for the initial branch, we must
first teach the test suite not to rely on a specific default branch
name. In this patch, we teach t7064 that trick.

To that end, we set a specific name for the initial branch. Ideally, we
would simply start out by calling `git branch -M initial-branch`, but
there is a bug in `git branch -M` that does not allow renaming branches
unless they already have commits. This will be fixed in the
`js/init-defaultbranch-advice` topic, and until that time, we use the
equivalent (but less intuitive) `git checkout -f --orphan`.
