Add new configuration option diff.statNameWidth=<width> that is equivalent
to the command-line option --stat-name-width=<width>, but it is ignored
by format-patch. This follows the logic established by the already
existing configuration option diff.statGraphWidth=<width>.
Limiting the widths of names and graphs in the --stat output makes sense
for interactive work on wide terminals with many columns, hence the support
for these configuration options. They don't affect format-patch because
it already adheres to the traditional 80-column standard.
Update the documentation and add more tests to cover new configuration
option diff.statNameWidth=<width>. While there, perform a few minor code
and whitespace cleanups here and there, as spotted.

There are a few parse-option callbacks that do not look at their "unset"
parameters, but also do not set PARSE_OPT_NONEG. At first glance this
seems like a bug, as we'd ignore "--no-if-exists", etc.
But they do work fine, because when "unset" is true, then "arg" is NULL.
And all three functions pass "arg" on to helper functions which do the
right thing with the NULL.
Note that this shortcut would not be correct if any callback used
PARSE_OPT_NOARG (in which case "arg" would be NULL but "unset" would be
false). But none of these do.
So the code is fine as-is. But we'll want to mark the unused "unset"
parameters to quiet -Wunused-parameter. I've also added a comment to
make this rather subtle situation more explicit.

The option_parse_strategy() callback does not look at opt->value;
instead it calls append_strategy(), which manipulates the global
use_strategies array directly. But the OPT_CALLBACK declaration assigns
"&use_strategies" to opt->value.
One could argue this is good, as it tells the reader what we generally
expect the callback to do. But it is also bad, because it can mislead
you into thinking that swapping out "&use_strategies" there might have
any effect. Let's switch it to pass NULL (which is what every other
"does not bother to look at opt->value" callback does). If you want to
know what the callback does, it's easy to read the function itself.

The previous commit argued that parse-options callbacks should try to
use opt->value rather than touching globals directly. In some cases,
however, that's awkward to do. Some callbacks touch multiple variables,
or may even just call into an abstracted function that does so.
In some of these cases we _could_ convert them by stuffing the multiple
variables into a single struct and passing the struct pointer through
opt->value. But that may make other parts of the code less readable,
as the struct relationship has to be mentioned everywhere.
Let's just accept that these cases are special and leave them as-is. But
we do need to mark their "opt" parameters to satisfy -Wunused-parameter.

We have several parse-options callbacks that ignore their "opt"
parameters entirely. This is a little unusual, as we'd normally put the
result of the parsing into opt->value. In the case of these callbacks,
though, they directly manipulate global variables instead (and in
most cases the caller sets opt->value to NULL in the OPT_CALLBACK
declaration).
The immediate symptom we'd like to deal with is that the unused "opt"
variables trigger -Wunused-parameter. But how to fix that is debatable.
One option is to annotate them with UNUSED. But another is to have the
caller pass in the appropriate variable via opt->value, and use it. That
has the benefit of making the callbacks reusable (in theory at least),
and makes it clear from the OPT_CALLBACK declaration which variables
will be affected (doubly so for the cases in builtin/fast-export.c,
where we do set opt->value, but it is completely ignored!).
The slight downside is that we lose type safety, since they're now
passing through void pointers.
I went with the "just use them" approach here. The loss of type safety
is unfortunate, but that is already an issue with most of the other
callbacks. If we want to try to address that, we should do so more
consistently (and this patch would prepare these callbacks for whatever
we choose to do there).
Note that in the cases in builtin/fast-export.c, we are passing
anonymous enums. We'll have to give them names so that we can declare
the appropriate pointer type within the callbacks.

Using --stage=all requires writing to tempfiles, since we cannot put
multiple stages into a single file. So --stage=all implies --temp.
But we do so by setting to_tempfile in the options callback for --stage,
rather than after all options have been parsed. This leads to two bugs:
1. If you run "checkout-index --stage=all --stage=2", this should not
imply --temp, but it currently does. The callback cannot just unset
to_tempfile when it sees the "2" value, because it no longer knows
if its value was from the earlier --stage call, or if the user
specified --temp explicitly.
2. If you run "checkout-index --stage=all --no-temp", the --no-temp
will overwrite the earlier implied --temp. But this mode of
operation cannot work, and the command will fail with "<path>
already exists" when trying to write the higher stages.
We can fix both by lazily setting to_tempfile. We'll make it a tristate,
with -1 as "not yet given", and have --stage=all enable it only after
all options are parsed. Likewise, after all options are parsed we can
detect and reject the bogus "--no-temp" case.
Note that this does technically change the behavior for "--stage=all
--no-temp" for paths which have only one stage present (which
accidentally worked before, but is now forbidden). But this behavior was
never intended, and you'd have to go out of your way to try to trigger
it.
The new tests cover both cases, as well the general "--stage=all implies
--temp", as most of the other tests explicitly say "--temp". Ironically,
the test "checkout --temp within subdir" is the only one that _doesn't_
use "--temp", and so was implicitly covering this case. But it seems
reasonable to have a more explicit test alongside the other related
ones.

The "-n" option is implemented by an option callback, as it is really a
"reverse bool". If given, it sets show_diffstat to 0. In theory, when
negated, it would set the same flag to 1. But it's not possible to
trigger that, since short options cannot be negated.
So in practice this is really just a SET_INT to 0. Let's use that
instead, which shortens the code.
Note that negation here would do the wrong thing (as with any SET_INT
with a value of "0"). We could specify PARSE_OPT_NONEG to future-proof
ourselves against somebody adding a long option name (which would make
it possible to negate). But there's not much point:
1. Nobody is going to do that, because the negated form already
exists, and is called "--stat" (which is defined separately so that
"--no-stat" works).
2. If they did, the BUG() check added by 3284b93862 (parse-options:
disallow negating OPTION_SET_INT 0, 2023-08-08) will catch it (and
that check is smart enough to realize that our short-only option is

were to be kept the authoritative version of the subject prefix even
while parsing command line options, and sprefix variable was used as
a temporary area to futz with it. Now, the parsing code has been

When pack-objects learned the `--cruft` option back in b757353676

remember, it's because we were trying to push users towards only ever
having a single cruft pack, but I cannot be sure).
However, `--max-pack-size` is flexible enough that it already works with
`--cruft` and can shard unreachable objects across multiple cruft packs,
creating separate ".mtimes" files as appropriate. In fact, the
`--max-pack-size` option worked with `--cruft` as far back as
b757353676!
This is because we overwrite the `written_list`, and pass down the

shard.

At the beginning of each loop iteration, the next line of input is read

Thus, the call to `strbuf_reset()` (added back in b757353676

Many programs use diff_result_code() to get a user-visible program exit
code from a diff result (e.g., checking opts.found_changes if
--exit-code was requested).
This function also takes a "status" parameter, which seems at first
glance that it could be used to propagate an error encountered when
computing the diff. But it doesn't work that way:
- negative values are passed through as-is, but are not appropriate as
program exit codes
- when --exit-code or --check is in effect, we _ignore_ the passed-in
status completely. So a failed diff which did not have a chance to
set opts.found_changes would erroneously report "success, no
changes" instead of propagating the error.
After recent cleanups, neither of these bugs is possible to trigger, as
every caller just passes in "0". So rather than fixing them, we can
simply drop the useless parameter instead.

perform each one. But every helper simply returns "0", as it exits
directly if there are serious errors (and options like --exit-code are
handled afterwards). So let's get rid of these useless return values,
which makes the code flow more clear.
There's very little chance that we'd later want to propagate errors
instead of dying immediately. These are all static-local helpers for the
git-diff program implementing its various modes. More "lib-ified" code

Neither of these functions ever returns a value other than zero.
Instead, they expect unrecoverable errors to exit immediately, and
things like "--exit-code" are stored inside the diff_options struct to
be handled later via diff_result_code().
Some callers do check the return values, but many don't bother. Let's
drop the useless return values, which are misleading callers about how
the functions work. This could be seen as a step in the wrong direction,
as we might want to eventually "lib-ify" these to more cleanly return
errors up the stack, in which case we'd have to add the return values
back in. But there are some benefits to doing this now:
1. In the current code, somebody could accidentally add a "return -1"
to one of the functions, which would be erroneously ignored by many
callers. By removing the return code, the compiler can notice the
mismatch and force the developer to decide what to do.
Obviously the other option here is that we could start consistently
checking the error code in every caller. But it would be dead code,
and we wouldn't get any compile-time help in catching new cases.
2. It communicates the situation to callers, who may want to choose a
different function. These functions are really thin wrappers for
doing git-diff-files and git-diff-index within the process. But
callers who care about recovering from an error here are probably
better off using the underlying library functions, many of
which do return errors.
If somebody eventually wants to teach these functions to propagate
errors, they'll have to switch back to returning a value, effectively
reverting this patch. But at least then they will be starting with a
level playing field: they know that they will need to inspect each
caller to see how it should handle the error.

When the git-diff program fails to read the index in its diff-files or
diff-index helper functions, it propagates the error up the stack. This
eventually lands in diff_result_code(), which does not handle it well
(as discussed in the previous patch).
Since the only sensible thing here is to exit with an error code (and
what we were expecting the propagated error code to cause), let's just
do that directly.
There's no test here, as I'm not even sure this case can be triggered.
The index-reading functions tend to die() themselves when encountering
any errors, and the return value is just the number of entries in the
file (and so always 0 or positive). But let's err on the conservative
side and keep checking the return value. It may be worth digging into as
a separate topic (though index-reading is low-level enough that we
probably want to eventually teach it to propagate errors anyway for
lib-ification purposes, at which point this code would already be doing
the right thing).

The git-diff command has many modes (comparing worktree to index, index
to HEAD, individual blobs, etc). As a result, it dispatches to many
helper functions and cannot completely parse its options until we're in
those helper functions.
Most of them, when seeing an unknown option, exit immediately by calling
usage(). But builtin_diff_files(), which is the default if no revision
or blob arguments are given, instead prints an error() and returns -1.
One obvious shortcoming here is that the user doesn't get to see the
usual usage message. But there's a much more important bug: the -1
return is fed to diff_result_code(), which is not ready to handle it.
By default, it passes the code along as an exit code. We try to avoid
negative exit codes because they get converted to unsigned values, but
it should at least consistently show up as non-zero (i.e., a failure).
But much worse is that when --exit-code is in effect, diff_result_code()
will _ignore_ the status passed in by the caller, and instead only
report on whether the diff found changes. It didn't, of course, because
we never ran the diff, and the program unexpectedly exits with success!
We can fix this bug by just calling usage(), like the other helpers do.
Another option would of course be to teach diff_result_code() to handle
this value. But as we'll see in the next few patches, it can be cleaned
up even further. Let's just fix this bug directly to start with.

If loading the index fails, we print an error and then return "-1" from

Because of integer conversion, it usually becomes 255, which is at least

death.

The other bit in the option flag word is DIFF_INDEX_MERGE_BASE, but
curiously there is only one caller that can pass it, which is "git
diff-index --merge-base" itself---no internal callers uses the
feature.
A bit tricky call to the function is in builtin/submodule--helper.c
where the .cached member in a private struct is set/reset as a plain
Boolean flag, which happens to be "1" and happens to match the value
of DIFF_INDEX_CACHED.

This patch makes it possible to directly feed a branch description to
derive the cover letter from. The use case is formatting dynamically
created temporary commits which are not referenced anywhere.
The most obvious alternative would be creating a temporary branch and
setting a description on it, but that doesn't seem particularly elegant.

We switched the function interface for fsck callbacks in a1aad71601
(fsck.h: use "enum object_type" instead of "int", 2021-03-28). However,
we accidentally flipped the type back to "int" as part of 0b4e9013f1
(fsck: mark unused parameters in various fsck callbacks, 2023-07-03).
The mistake happened because that commit was written before a1aad71601
and rebased forward, and I screwed up while resolving the conflict.
Curiously, the compiler does not warn about this mismatch, at least not
when using gcc and clang on Linux (nor in any of our CI environments).
Based on 28abf260a5 (builtin/fsck.c: don't conflate "int" and "enum" in
callback, 2021-06-01), I'd guess that this would cause the AIX xlc
compiler to complain. I noticed because clang-18's UBSan now identifies
mis-matched function calls at runtime, and does complain of this case
when running the test suite.
I'm not entirely clear on whether this mismatch is a problem in
practice. Compilers are certainly free to make enums smaller than "int"
if they don't need the bits, but I suspect that they have to promote
back to int for function calls (though I didn't dig in the standard, and
I won't be surprised if I'm simply wrong and the real-world impact would
depend on the ABI).
Regardless, switching it back to enum is obviously the right thing to do
here; the switch to "int" was simply a mistake.
