It can be helpful when creating a new branch to use the existing
tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is
currently not a method to automatically do so.
Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the
"--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the
tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch
point, if set.
For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run
`git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature"
will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far
ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin.
This is particularly useful when creating branches across many
submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with
a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to
manually set tracking info for each submodule.
Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as
another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track"
without an argument still works as well).
Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this
is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

When a series of patches for a topic-B depends on having topic-A,
the workflow to prepare the topic-B branch would look like this:
$ git checkout -b topic-B main
$ git merge --no-ff --no-edit topic-A
$ git am <mbox-for-topic-B
When topic-A gets updated, recreating the first merge and rebasing
the rest of the topic-B, all on detached HEAD, is a useful
technique. After updating topic-A with its new round of patches:
$ git checkout topic-B
$ prev=$(git rev-parse 'HEAD^{/^Merge branch .topic-A. into}')
$ git checkout --detach $prev^1
$ git merge --no-ff --no-edit topic-A
$ git rebase --onto HEAD $prev @{-1}^0
$ git checkout -B @{-1}
This will
(0) check out the current topic-B.
(1) find the previous merge of topic-A into topic-B.
(2) detach the HEAD to the parent of the previous merge.
(3) merge the updated topic-A to it.
(4) reapply the patches to rebuild the rest of topic-B.
(5) update topic-B with the result.
without contaminating the reflog of topic-B too much. topic-B@{1}
is the "logically previous" state before topic-A got updated, for
example. At (4), comparison (e.g. range-diff) between HEAD and
@{-1} is a meaningful way to sanity check the result, and the same
can be done at (5) by comparing topic-B and topic-B@{1}.
But there is one glitch. The merge into the detached HEAD done in
the step (3) above gives us "Merge branch 'topic-A' into HEAD", and
does not say "into topic-B".
Teach the "--into-name=<branch>" option to "git merge" and its
underlying "git fmt-merge-message", to pretend as if we were merging
into <branch>, no matter what branch we are actually merging into,
when they prepare the merge message. The pretend name honors the
usual "into <target>" suppression mechanism, which can be seen in
the tests added here.

While testing some ideas in 'git repack', I ran it with '--quiet' and
discovered that some progress output was still shown. Specifically, the
output for writing the multi-pack-index showed the progress.
The 'show_progress' variable in cmd_repack() is initialized with
isatty(2) and is not modified at all by the '--quiet' flag. The
'--quiet' flag modifies the po_args.quiet option which is translated
into a '--quiet' flag for the 'git pack-objects' child process. However,
'show_progress' is used to directly send progress information to the
multi-pack-index writing logic which does not use a child process.
The fix here is to modify 'show_progress' to be false if po_opts.quiet
is true, and isatty(2) otherwise. This new expectation simplifies a
later condition that checks both.
Update the documentation to make it clear that '-q' will disable all
progress in addition to ensuring the 'git pack-objects' child process
will receive the flag.
Use 'test_terminal' to check that this works to get around the isatty(2)
check.

Historically, we needed a single packfile in order to have reachability
bitmaps. This introduced logic that when 'git repack' had a '-b' option
that we should stop sending the '--honor-pack-keep' option to the 'git
pack-objects' child process, ensuring that we create a packfile
containing all reachable objects.
In the world of multi-pack-index bitmaps, we no longer need to repack
all objects into a single pack to have valid bitmaps. Thus, we should
continue sending the '--honor-pack-keep' flag to 'git pack-objects'.
The fix is very simple: only disable the flag when writing bitmaps but
also _not_ writing the multi-pack-index.
This opens the door to new repacking strategies that might want to keep
some historical set of objects in a stable pack-file while only
repacking more recent objects.
To test, create a new 'test_subcommand_inexact' helper that is more
flexible than 'test_subcommand'. This allows us to look for the
--honor-pack-keep flag without over-indexing on the exact set of
arguments.

The comand uses a single instance of rev_info on stack, makes a

We do not do this at lower level in revision.c or cmd_log_walk(), as

Change the usage message emitted by "git stash --invalid-option" to
emit usage information for "git stash" in general, and not just for
the "push" command. I.e. before:
$ git stash --invalid-option
error: unknown option `invalid-option'
usage: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
[--] [<pathspec>...]]
[...]
After:
$ git stash --invalid-option
error: unknown option `invalid-option'
usage: git stash list [<options>]
or: git stash show [<options>] [<stash>]
or: git stash drop [-q|--quiet] [<stash>]
or: git stash ( pop | apply ) [--index] [-q|--quiet] [<stash>]
or: git stash branch <branchname> [<stash>]
or: git stash clear
or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-S|--staged] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
[--pathspec-from-file=<file> [--pathspec-file-nul]]
[--] [<pathspec>...]]
or: git stash save [-p|--patch] [-S|--staged] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [<message>]
[...]
That we emitted the usage for just "push" in the case of the
subcommand not being explicitly specified was an unintentional
side-effect of how it was implemented. When it was converted to C in
d553f538b8 (stash: convert push to builtin, 2019-02-25) the pattern
of having per-subcommand usage information was rightly continued. The
"git-stash.sh" shellscript did not have that, and always printed the
equivalent of "git_stash_usage".
But in doing so the case of push being implicit and explicit was
conflated. A variable was added to track this in 8c3713cede (stash:
eliminate crude option parsing, 2020-02-17), but it did not update the
usage output accordingly.
This still leaves e.g. "git stash push -h" emitting the
"git_stash_usage" output, instead of "git_stash_push_usage". That
should be fixed, but is a much deeper misbehavior in parse_options()
not being aware of subcommands at all. I.e. in how
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP combine in
commands such as "git stash".
Perhaps PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN should imply
PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP, or better yet parse_options() should be
extended to fully handle these subcommand cases that we handle
manually in "git stash", "git commit-graph", "git multi-pack-index"
etc. All of those musings would be a much bigger change than this
isolated fix though, so let's leave that for some other time.

The previously suggested workflow:
git sparse-checkout init ...
git sparse-checkout set ...
Suffered from three problems:
1) It would delete nearly all files in the first step, then
restore them in the second. That was poor performance and
forced unnecessary rebuilds.
2) The two-step process resulted in two progress bars, which
was suboptimal from a UI point of view for wrappers that
invoked both of these commands but only exposed a single
command to their end users.
3) With cone mode, the first step would delete nearly all
ignored files everywhere, because everything was considered
to be outside of the specified sparsity paths. (The user was
not allowed to specify any sparsity paths in the `init` step.)
Avoid these problems by teaching `set` to understand the extra
parameters that `init` takes and performing any necessary initialization
if not already in a sparse checkout.

cases are:
1. The index is not expanded for 'blame' when given paths in the sparse
checkout cone at multiple levels.

Enable the sparse index within the 'git diff' command. Its implementation
already safely integrates with the sparse index because it shares code
with the 'git status' and 'git checkout' commands that were already
integrated. For more details see:
d76723ee53 (status: use sparse-index throughout, 2021-07-14)
1ba5f45132 (checkout: stop expanding sparse indexes, 2021-06-29)
The most interesting thing to do is to add tests that verify that 'git
diff' behaves correctly when the sparse index is enabled. These cases are:
1. The index is not expanded for 'diff' and 'diff --staged'
2. 'diff' and 'diff --staged' behave the same in full checkout, sparse
checkout, and sparse index repositories in the following partially-staged
scenarios (i.e. the index, HEAD, and working directory differ at a given
path):
1. Path is within sparse-checkout cone
2. Path is outside sparse-checkout cone
3. A merge conflict exists for paths outside sparse-checkout cone
The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~44% execution time reduction for 'git
diff' and a ~86% execution time reduction for 'git diff --staged' using a
sparse index:

name-rev has a MERGE_TRAVERSAL_WEIGHT to say that traversing a second or
later parent of a merge should be 65535 times more expensive than a
first-parent traversal, as per ac076c29ae (name-rev: Fix non-shortest
description, 2007-08-27). The point of this weight is to prefer names
like
v2.32.0~1471^2
over names like
v2.32.0~43^2~15^2~11^2~20^2~31^2
which are two equally valid names in git.git for the same commit. Note
that the first follows 1472 parent traversals compared to a mere 125 for
the second. Weighting all traversals equally would clearly prefer the
second name since it has fewer parent traversals, but humans aren't
going to be traversing commits and they tend to have an easier time
digesting names with fewer segments. The fact that the former only has
two segments (~1471, ^2) makes it much simpler than the latter which has
six segments (~43, ^2, ~15, etc.). Since name-rev is meant to "find
symbolic names suitable for human digestion", we prefer fewer segments.
However, the particular rule implemented in name-rev would actually
prefer
v2.33.0-rc0~11^2~1
over
v2.33.0-rc0~20^2
because both have precisely one second parent traversal, and it gives
the tie breaker to shortest number of total parent traversals. Fewer
segments is more important for human consumption than number of hops, so
we'd rather see the latter which has one fewer segment.
Include the generation in is_better_name() and use a new
effective_distance() calculation so that we prefer fewer segments in
the printed name over fewer total parent traversals performed to get the
answer.
== Side-note on tie-breakers ==
When there are the same number of segments for two different names, we
actually use the name of an ancestor commit as a tie-breaker as well.
For example, for the commit cbdca289fb in the git.git repository, we
prefer the name v2.33.0-rc0~112^2~1 over v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~5. This is
because:
* cbdca289fb is the parent of 25e65b6dd5, which implies the name for
cbdca289fb should be the first parent of the preferred name for
25e65b6dd5
* 25e65b6dd5 could be named either v2.33.0-rc0~112^2 or
v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~4, but the former is preferred over the latter due
to fewer segments
* combine the two previous facts, and the name we get for cbdca289fb
is "v2.33.0-rc0~112^2~1" rather than "v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~5".
Technically, we get this for free out of the implementation since we
only keep track of one name for each commit as we walk history (and
re-add parents to the queue if we find a better name for those parents),
but the first bullet point above ensures users get results that feel
more consistent.
== Alternative Ideas and Meanings Discussed ==
One suggestion that came up during review was that shortest
string-length might be easiest for users to consume. However, such a
scheme would be rather computationally expensive (we'd have to track all
names for each commit as we traversed the graph) and would additionally
come with the possibly perplexing result that on a linear segment of
history we could rapidly swap back and forth on names:
MYTAG~3^2 would be preferred over MYTAG~9998
MYTAG~3^2~1 would NOT be preferred over MYTAG~9999
MYTAG~3^2~2 might be preferred over MYTAG~10000
Another item that came up was possible auxiliary semantic meanings for
name-rev results either before or after this patch. The basic answer
was that the previous implementation had no known useful auxiliary
semantics, but that for many repositories (most in my experience), the
new scheme does. In particular, the new name-rev output can often be
used to answer the question, "How or when did this commit get merged?"
Since that usefulness depends on how merges happen within the repository
and thus isn't universally applicable, details are omitted here but you
can see them at [1].
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABPp-BEeUM+3NLKDVdak90_UUeNghYCx=Dgir6=8ixvYmvyq3Q@mail.gmail.com/
Finally, it was noted that the algorithm could be improved by just
explicitly tracking the number of segments and using both it and
distance in the comparison, instead of giving a magic number that tries
to blend the two (and which therefore might give suboptimal results in
repositories with really huge numbers of commits that periodically merge
older code). However, "[this patch] seems to give us a much better
results than the current code, so let's take it and leave further
futzing outside the scope."

The order in which the stdout and stderr streams are flushed is not
guaranteed to be the same across platforms or `libc` implementations.
This lack of determinism can lead to anomalous and potentially confusing
output if normal (stdout) output is flushed after error (stderr) output.
For instance, the following output which clearly indicates a failure due
to a fatal error:
% git worktree add ../foo bar
Preparing worktree (checking out 'bar')
fatal: 'bar' is already checked out at '.../wherever'
has been reported[1] on Microsoft Windows to appear as:
% git worktree add ../foo bar
fatal: 'bar' is already checked out at '.../wherever'
Preparing worktree (checking out 'bar')
which may confuse the reader into thinking that the command somehow
recovered and ran to completion despite the error.
This problem crops up because the "chatty" status message "Preparing
worktree" is sent to stdout, whereas the "fatal" error message is sent
to stderr. One way to fix this would be to flush stdout manually before
git-worktree reports any errors to stderr.
However, common practice in Git is for "chatty" messages to be sent to
stderr. Therefore, a more appropriate fix is to adjust git-worktree to
conform to that practice by sending its "chatty" messages to stderr
rather than stdout as is currently the case.
There may be concern that relocating messages from stdout to stderr
could break existing tooling, however, these messages are already
internationalized, thus are unstable. And, indeed, the "Preparing
worktree" message has already been the subject of somewhat significant
changes in 2c27002a0a (worktree: improve message when creating a new
worktree, 2018-04-24). Moreover, there is existing precedent, such as
68b939b2f0 (clone: send diagnostic messages to stderr, 2013-09-18) which
likewise relocated "chatty" messages from stdout to stderr for
git-clone.

It's possible to specify --simplify-by-decoration but not --decorate. In
this case we do respect the simplification, but we don't actually show
any decorations. However, it works by lazy-loading the decorations when
needed; this is discussed in more detail in 0cc7380d88 (log-tree: call
load_ref_decorations() in get_name_decoration(), 2019-09-08).
This works for basic cases, but will fail to respect any --decorate-refs
option (or its variants). Those are handled only when cmd_log_init()
loads the ref decorations up front, which is only when --decorate is
specified explicitly (or as of the previous commit, when the userformat
asks for %d or similar).
We can solve this by making sure to load the decorations if we're going
to simplify using them but they're not otherwise going to be displayed.
The new test shows a simple case that fails without this patch. Note
that we expect two commits in the output: the one we asked for by
--decorate-refs, and the initial commit. The latter is just a quirk of
how --simplify-by-decoration works. Arguably it may be a bug, but it's
unrelated to this patch (which is just about the loading of the
decorations; you get the same behavior before this patch with an
explicit --decorate).

In order to show ref decorations, we first have to load them. If you
run:
git log --decorate
then git-log will recognize the option and load them up front via
cmd_log_init(). Likewise if log.decorate is set.
If you don't say --decorate explicitly, but do mention "%d" or "%D" in
the output format, like so:
git log --format=%d
then this also works, because we lazy-load the ref decorations. This has
been true since 3b3d443feb (add '%d' pretty format specifier to show
decoration, 2008-09-04), though the lazy-load was later moved into
log-tree.c.
But there's one problem: that lazy-load just uses the defaults; it
doesn't take into account any --decorate-refs options (or its exclude
variant, or their config). So this does not work:
git log --decorate-refs=whatever --format=%d
It will decorate using all refs, not just the specified ones. This has
been true since --decorate-refs was added in 65516f586b (log: add option
to choose which refs to decorate, 2017-11-21). Adding further confusion
is that it _may_ work because of the auto-decoration feature. If that's
in use (and it often is, as it's the default), then if the output is
going to stdout, we do enable decorations early (and so load them up
front, respecting the extra options). But otherwise we do not. So:
git log --decorate-refs=whatever --format=%d >some-file
would typically behave differently than it does when the output goes to
the pager or terminal!
The solution is simple: we should recognize in cmd_log_init() that we're
going to show decorations, and make sure we load them there. We already
check userformat_find_requirements(), so we can couple this with our
existing code there.
There are two new tests. The first shows off the actual fix. The second
makes sure that our fix doesn't cause us to stomp on an existing
--decorate option (see the new comment in the code, as well).

would instead get the following conflict:

4
A
<<<<<<
B
C
D
||||||
5
6
======
X

Y
>>>>>>
E

Note that the common lines, 'A', and 'E' were moved outside the
conflict. Unlike with the two-way conflicts from the 'merge'
conflictStyle, the zdiff3 conflict is NOT split into multiple conflict
regions to allow the common 'C' lines to be shown outside a conflict,
because zdiff3 shows the base version too and the base version cannot be
reasonably split.
Note also that the removing of lines common to the two sides might make
the remaining text inside the conflict region match the base text inside
the conflict region (for example, if the diff3 conflict had '5 6 E' on
the right side of the conflict, then the common line 'E' would be moved
outside and both the base and right side's remaining conflict text would
be the lines '5' and '6'). This has the potential to surprise users and
make them think there should not have been a conflict, but there
definitely was a conflict and it should remain.

Remove the `ensure_full_index` guard on `read_from_tree` and update `git
reset --mixed` to ensure it can use sparse directory index entries wherever
possible. Sparse directory entries are reset using `diff_tree_oid`, which
requires `change` and `add_remove` functions to process the internal
contents of the sparse directory. The `recursive` diff option handles cases
in which `reset --mixed` must diff/merge files that are nested multiple
levels deep in a sparse directory.
The use of pathspecs with `git reset --mixed` introduces scenarios in which
internal contents of sparse directories may be matched by the pathspec. In
order to reset *all* files in the repo that may match the pathspec, the
following conditions on the pathspec require index expansion before
performing the reset:
* "magic" pathspecs
* wildcard pathspecs that do not match only in-cone files or entire sparse
directories
* literal pathspecs matching something outside the sparse checkout

compatibility changes are needed for it to function without expanding the
index. For all other reset modes (`--mixed`, `--hard`, `--keep`, `--merge`),
the full index is expanded to prevent cache tree corruption and invalid
variable accesses.
Additionally, the `read_cache()` check verifying an uncorrupted index is
moved after argument parsing and preparing the repo settings. The index is
not used by the preceding argument handling, but `read_cache()` must be run
*after* enabling sparse index for the command (so that the index is not
expanded unnecessarily) and *before* using the index for reset (so that it
is verified as uncorrupted).

Remove the "env" member from "struct child_process" in favor of always
using the "env_array". As with the preceding removal of "argv" in
favor of "args" this gets rid of current and future oddities around
memory management at the API boundary (see the amended API docs).
For some of the conversions we can replace patterns like:
child.env = env->v;
With:
strvec_pushv(&child.env_array, env->v);
But for others we need to guard the strvec_pushv() with a NULL check,
since we're not passing in the "v" member of a "struct strvec",
e.g. in the case of tmp_objdir_env()'s return value.
Ideally we'd rename the "env_array" member to simply "env" as a
follow-up, since it and "args" are now inconsistent in not having an
"_array" suffix, and seemingly without any good reason, unless we look
at the history of how they came to be.

run-command.c internals. In particular, it knows that it must reset
child_process::argv to NULL for each subsequent invocation[*] in order
for start_command() to latch the newly-populated child_process::args for
each invocation, even though this behavior is not a part of the
documented API. Beyond having overly-intimate knowledge of run-command.c

stop sharing one `child_process` and instead use a new one for each

[*] If child_process::argv is not reset to NULL, then subsequent
run_command() invocations will instead incorrectly access a dangling
pointer to freed memory which had been allocated by child_process::args
on the previous run. This is due to the following code in

should succeed as it is a no-op, but doesn't.
* ev/pull-already-up-to-date-is-noop:

Currently, running 'git submodule deinit' on repos where the
submodule's '.git' is a directory, aborts with a message that is not
exactly user friendly.
Let's change this to instead warn the user that the .git/ directory
has been absorbed into the superproject.
The rest of the deinit function can operate as it already does with
new-style submodules.
In one test, we used to require "git submodule deinit" to fail even
with the "--force" option when the submodule's .git/ directory is not
absorbed. Adjust it to expect the operation to pass.

Git no longer has a default strategy for reconciling divergent branches,
because there's no way for Git to know which strategy is appropriate in
any particular situation.
The initially proposed version in [*], that eventually became
031e2f7a (pull: abort by default when fast-forwarding is not
possible, 2021-07-22), dropped this phrase from the message, but
it was left in the final version by accident.

The "checkout" command is one of the main sources of leaks in the test
suite, let's fix the common ones by not leaking from the "struct
branch_info".
Doing this is rather straightforward, albeit verbose, we need to
xstrdup() constant strings going into the struct, and free() the ones
we clobber as we go along.
This also means that we can delete previous partial leak fixes in this
area, i.e. the "path_to_free" accounting added by 96ec7b1e70 (Convert
resolve_ref+xstrdup to new resolve_refdup function, 2011-12-13).
There was some discussion about whether "we should retain the "const
char *" here and cast at free() time, or have it be a "char *". Since
this is not a public API with any sort of API boundary let's use
"char *", as is already being done for the "refname" member of the
same struct.
The tests to mark as passing were found with:
rm .prove; GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t0027 prove -j8 --state=save t[0-9]*.sh :: --immediate
# apply & compile this change
prove -j8 --state=failed :: --immediate
I.e. the ones that were newly passing when the --state=failed command
was run. I left out "t3040-subprojects-basic.sh" and
"t4131-apply-fake-ancestor.sh" to to optimization-level related
differences similar to the ones noted in[1], except that these would
be something the current 'linux-leaks' job would run into.

Regression fix.
* ab/fsck-unexpected-type:
object-file: free(*contents) only in read_loose_object() caller
object-file: fix SEGV on free() regression in v2.34.0-rc2
In the preceding commit a free() of uninitialized memory regression in
96e41f58fe (fsck: report invalid object type-path combinations,
2021-10-01) was fixed, but we'd still have an issue with leaking
memory from fsck_loose(). Let's fix that issue too.
That issue was introduced in my 31deb28f5e (fsck: don't hard die on
invalid object types, 2021-10-01). It can be reproduced under
SANITIZE=leak with the test I added in 093fffdfbe (fsck tests: add
test for fsck-ing an unknown type, 2021-10-01):
./t1450-fsck.sh --run=84 -vixd
In some sense it's not a problem, we lost the same amount of memory in
terms of things malloc'd and not free'd. It just moved from the "still
reachable" to "definitely lost" column in valgrind(1) nomenclature[1],
since we'd have die()'d before.
But now that we don't hard die() anymore in the library let's properly
free() it. Doing so makes this code much easier to follow, since we'll
now have one function owning the freeing of the "contents" variable,
not two.
For context on that memory management pattern the read_loose_object()
function was added in f6371f9210 (sha1_file: add read_loose_object()
function, 2017-01-13) and subsequently used in c68b489e56 (fsck:
parse loose object paths directly, 2017-01-13). The pattern of it
being the task of both sides to free() the memory has been there in
this form since its inception.

Before running the post-receive hook, status info is reported back to
the client. If a remote client exits before or during the status report,
receive-pack is killed by SIGPIPE and post-receive is never executed.
The post-receive hook is often used to send email notifications (see
contrib/hooks/post-receive-email), update bug trackers, start automatic
builds, etc. Not executing it after an interrupted yet "successful" push
can lead to inconsistencies.
Ignore SIGPIPE before reporting status to the client to increase the
chances of post-receive running if pre-receive was successful. This does
not guarantee 100% consistency but it should resist early disconnection
by the client.

In eba1ba9 (maintenance: `git maintenance run` learned
`--scheduler=<scheduler>`, 2021-09-04), we introduced the ability to
specify a scheduler explicitly. This led to some extra checks around
whether an alternative scheduler was available. This added the
functionality of removing background maintenance from schedulers other
than the one selected.
On macOS, cron is technically available, but running 'crontab' triggers
a UI prompt asking for special permissions. This is the major reason why
launchctl is used as the default scheduler. The is_crontab_available()
method triggers this UI prompt, causing user disruption.
Remove this disruption by using an #ifdef to prevent running crontab
this way on macOS. This has the unfortunate downside that if a user
manually selects cron via the '--scheduler' option, then adjusting the
scheduler later will not remove the schedule from cron. The
'--scheduler' option ignores the is_available checks, which is how we
can get into this situation.
Extract the new check_crontab_process() method to avoid making the
'child' variable unused on macOS. The method is marked MAYBE_UNUSED
because it has no callers on macOS.

Introduce the logical variable GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH which represents the
the default branch name that will be used by "git init".
Currently this variable is equivalent to
git config init.defaultbranch || 'master'
This however will break if at one point the default branch is changed as
indicated by `default_branch_name_advice` in `refs.c`.
By providing this command ahead of time users of git can make their
code forward-compatible.

Earlier, we made sure that "git pull --ff-only" (and "git -c
pull.ff=only pull") errors out when our current HEAD is not an
ancestor of the tip of the history we are merging, but the condition
to trigger the error was implemented incorrectly.
Imagine you forked from a remote branch, built your history on top
of it, and then attempted to pull from them again. If they have not
made any update in the meantime, our current HEAD is obviously not
their ancestor, and this new error triggers.
Without the --ff-only option, we just report that there is no need
to pull; we did the same historically with --ff-only, too.
Make sure we do not fail with the recently added check to restore
the historical behaviour.

The `multi-pack-index` builtin dynamically allocates an array of
command-line option for each of its separate modes by calling
add_common_options() to concatante the common options with sub-command
specific ones.
Because this operation allocates a new array, we have to be careful to
remember to free it. We already do this in the repack and write
sub-commands, but verify and expire don't. Rectify this by calling
FREE_AND_NULL as the other modes do.

`git repack` invokes a handful of child processes: one to write the
actual pack, and optionally ones to repack promisor objects and update
the MIDX.
Most of these are freed automatically by calling `start_command()` (which
invokes it on error) and `finish_command()` which calls it
automatically.
But repack_promisor_objects() can initialize a child_process, populate
its array of arguments, and then return from the function before even
calling start_command().
Make sure that the prepared list of arguments is freed by calling
child_process_clear() ourselves to avoid leaking memory along this path.

When constructing arguments to pass to setup_revision(), pack-objects
only frees the memory used by that array after calling
get_object_list().
Ensure that we call strvec_clear() whether or not we use the arguments
array by cleaning up whenever we exit the function (and rewriting one
early return to jump to a label which frees the memory and then
returns).
We could avoid setting this array up altogether unless we are in the
if-else block that calls get_object_list(), but setting up the argument
array is intermingled with lots of other side-effects, e.g.:
if (exclude_promisor_objects) {
use_internal_rev_list = 1;
fetch_if_missing = 0;
strvec_push(&rp, "--exclude-promisor-objects");
}
So it would be awkward to check exclude_promisor_objects twice: first to
set use_internal_rev_list and fetch_if_missing, and then again above
get_object_list() to push the relevant argument onto the array.
Instead, leave the array's construction alone and make sure to free it
unconditionally.

Change `update_index_from_diff` to set `skip-worktree` when applicable for
new index entries. When `git reset --mixed <tree-ish>` is run, entries in
the index with differences between the pre-reset HEAD and reset <tree-ish>
are identified and handled with `update_index_from_diff`. For each file, a
new cache entry in inserted into the index, created from the <tree-ish> side
of the reset (without changing the working tree). However, the newly-created
entry must have `skip-worktree` explicitly set in either of the following
scenarios:
1. the file is in the current index and has `skip-worktree` set
2. the file is not in the current index but is outside of a defined sparse
checkout definition
Not setting the `skip-worktree` bit leads to likely-undesirable results for
a user. It causes `skip-worktree` settings to disappear on the
"diff"-containing files (but *only* the diff-containing files), leading to
those files now showing modifications in `git status`. For example, when
running `git reset --mixed` in a sparse checkout, some file entries outside
of sparse checkout could show up as deleted, despite the user never deleting
anything (and not wanting them on-disk anyway).
Additionally, add a test to `t7102` to ensure `skip-worktree` is preserved
in a basic `git reset --mixed` scenario and update a failure-documenting
test from 19a0acc (t1092: test interesting sparse-checkout scenarios,
2021-01-23) with new expected behavior.
