e77aa336f1 ("ls-files: optionally recurse into submodules", 2016-10-10)
taught ls-files the --recurse-submodules argument, but only in a limited
set of circumstances. In particular, --stage was unsupported, perhaps
because there was no repo_find_unique_abbrev(), which was only
introduced in 8bb95572b0 ("sha1-name.c: add
repo_find_unique_abbrev_r()", 2019-04-16). This function is needed for
using --recurse-submodules with --stage.

Fix a formatting regression in 1b81d8cb19 (help: use command-list.txt
for the source of guides, 2018-05-20). Adjust the output of "git help
--guides" and any other future single-section commands so that a
newline isn't inserted before the only section being printed.
This changes the output from:
$ git help --guides
The Git concept guides are:
[...]
To:
$ git help --guides
The Git concept guides are:
[...]
That we started printing an extra "\n" in 1b81d8cb19 wasn't intended,
but an emergent effect of moving all of the printing of "git help"
output to code that was ready to handle printing N sections.
With 1b81d8cb19 we started using the "print_cmd_by_category()"
function added earlier in the same series, or in cfb22a02ab (help:
use command-list.h for common command list, 2018-05-10).
Fixing this formatting nit is easy enough. Let's have all of the
output that would like to be "\n"-separated from other lines emit its
own "\n". We then adjust "print_cmd_by_category()" to only print a
"\n" to delimit the sections it's printing out.

The builtin "add -p" reads the key "F2" as three separate keys "^[",
"O" and "Q". The "Q" causes it to quit which is probably not what the
user was expecting. This is because it uses poll() to check for
pending input when reading escape sequences but reads the input with
getchar() which is buffered by default and so hoovers up all the
pending input leading poll() think there isn't anything pending. Fix
this by calling setbuf() to disable input buffering if
interactive.singlekey is set.
Looking at the comment above mingw_getchar() in terminal.c I wonder if
that function is papering over this bug and could be removed.

When disable_bits() changes the terminal attributes it uses
sigchain_push_common() to restore the terminal if a signal is received
before restore_term() is called. However there is no corresponding
call to sigchain_pop_common() when the settings are restored so the
signal handler is left on the sigchain stack. This leaves the stack
unbalanced so code such as
sigchain_push_common(my_handler);
...
read_key_without_echo(...);
...
sigchain_pop_common();
pops the handler pushed by disable_bits() rather than the one it
intended to. Additionally "git add -p" changes the terminal settings
every time it reads a key press so the stack can grow significantly.
In order to fix this save_term() now sets up the signal handler so
restore_term() can unconditionally call sigchain_pop_common(). There
are no callers of save_term() outside of terminal.c as the only
external caller was removed by e3f7e01b50 ("Revert "editor: save and
reset terminal after calling EDITOR"", 2021-11-22). Any future callers
of save_term() should benefit from having the signal handler set up
for them.

Remove the "else" branches of the HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS macro, which
have been unconditionally omitted since 765dc16888 (git-compat-util:
always enable variadic macros, 2021-01-28).
Since were always omitted, anyone trying to use a compiler without
variadic macro support to compile a git since version
git v2.31.0 or later would have had a compilation error. 10 months
across a few releases since then should have been enough time for
anyone who cared to run into that and report the issue.
In addition to that, for anyone unsetting HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS we've
been emitting extremely verbose warnings since at least
ee4512ed48 (trace2: create new combined trace facility,
2019-02-22). That's because there is no such thing as a
"region_enter_printf" or "region_leave_printf" format, so at least
under GCC and Clang everything that includes trace.h (almost every
file) emits a couple of warnings about that.
There's a large benefit to being able to have a hard dependency rely
on variadic macros, the code surrounding usage.c is hard to maintain
if we need to write two implementations of everything, and by relying
on "__FILE__" and "__LINE__" along with "__VA_ARGS__" we can in the
future make error(), die() etc. log where they were called from. We've
also recently merged d67fc4bf0b (Merge branch 'bc/require-c99',
2021-12-10) which further cements our hard dependency on C99.
So let's delete the fallback code, and update our CodingGuidelines to
note that we depend on this. The added bullet-point starts with
lower-case for consistency with other bullet-points in that section.
The diff in "trace.h" is relatively hard to read, since we need to
retain the existing API docs, which were comments on the code used if
HAVE_VARIADIC_MACROS was not defined.

The original implementation of an error() macro) in e208f9cc75 used a

it), but that was dropped later by 9798f7e5f9 (Use __VA_ARGS__ for all
of error's arguments, 2013-02-08), giving us the C99-portable version
we have now.
While we could remove the __GNUC__ define here, it might cause issues
for other compilers or static analysis systems, so let's not. See

The struct strmap paths member of merge_options_internal is perhaps the
most central data structure to all of merge-ort. Because all the paths
involved in the merge need to be kept until the merge is complete, this
"paths" data structure traditionally took responsibility for owning all
the allocated paths. When the merge is over, those paths were free()d
as part of free()ing this strmap.
In commit 6697ee01b5 (merge-ort: switch our strmaps over to using
memory pools, 2021-07-30), we changed the allocations for pathnames to
come from a memory pool. That meant the ownership changed slightly;
there were no individual free() calls to make, instead the memory pool
owned all those paths and they were free()d all at once.
Unfortunately unique_path() was written presuming the pre-memory-pool
model, and allocated a path on the heap and left it in the strmap for
later free()ing. Modify it to return a path allocated from the memory
pool instead.
Note that there's one instance -- in record_conflicted_index_entries()
-- where the returned string from unique_path() was only used very
temporarily and thus had been immediately free()'d. This codepath was
associated with an ugly skip-worktree workaround that has since been
better fixed by the in-flight en/present-despite-skipped topic. This
workaround probably makes sense to excise once that topic merges down,
but for now, just remove the immediate free() and allow the returned
string to be free()d when the memory pool is released.
This fixes the following memory leak as reported by valgrind:

detect_and_process_renames() detects renames on both sides of history
and then combines these into a single diff_queue_struct. The combined
diff_queue_struct needs to be able to hold the renames found on either
side, and since it knows the (maximum) size it needs, it pre-emptively
grows the array to the appropriate size:
ALLOC_GROW(combined.queue,
renames->pairs[1].nr + renames->pairs[2].nr,
combined.alloc);
It then collects the items from each side:
collect_renames(opt, &combined, MERGE_SIDE1, ...)
collect_renames(opt, &combined, MERGE_SIDE2, ...)
Note, though, that collect_renames() sometimes determines that some
pairs are unnecessary and does not include them in the combined array.
When it is done, detect_and_process_renames() frees this memory:
if (combined.nr) {
...
free(combined.queue);
}
The problem is that sometimes even when there are pairs, none of them
are necessary. Instead of checking combined.nr, just remove the
if-check; free() knows to skip NULL pointers. This change fixes the

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.

Commit 4e256731d6 ("sparse-checkout: enable reapply to take
--[no-]{cone,sparse-index}", 2021-12-14) made it so that reapply could
take additional options but added no tests. Tests would have shown that
the feature doesn't work because the initial values are set AFTER
parsing the command line options instead of before. Add a test and set
the initial value at the appropriate time.

Indent the here-docs and use "test_cmp" instead of "diff" in tests
added in ec55559f93 (push: Add support for pre-push hooks,
2013-01-13). Let's also use the more typical "expect" instead of
"expected" to be consistent with the rest of the test file.

Extend the tests added in ec55559f93 (push: Add support for pre-push
hooks, 2013-01-13) to exhaustively test for the exact input we're
expecting. This ensures that we e.g. don't miss a trailing newline.
Appending to a file called "actual" is the established convention in
this test for hooks, see the rest of the tests added in
ec55559f93 (push: Add support for pre-push hooks, 2013-01-13). Let's
follow that convention here.
