When generating the list of packs to store in a MIDX (when given the
`--write-midx` option), we include any cruft packs both during
--geometric and non-geometric repacks.
But the rules for when we do and don't have to check whether any of
those cruft packs were queued for deletion differ slightly between the
two cases.
But the two can be unified, provided there is a little bit of extra
detail added in the comment to clarify when it is safe to avoid checking
for any pending deletions (and why it is OK to do so even when not
required).

The `->util` field corresponding to each string_list_item is used to
track the existence of some pack at the beginning of a repack operation
was originally intended to be used as a bitfield.
This bitfield tracked:
- (1 << 0): whether or not the pack should be deleted
- (1 << 1): whether or not the pack is cruft
The previous commit removed the use of the second bit, but a future
patch (from a different series than this one) will introduce a new use
of it.
So we could stop treating the util pointer as a bitfield and instead
start treating it as if it were a boolean. But this would require some
backtracking when that later patch is applied.
Instead, let's avoid touching the ->util field directly, and instead
introduce convenience functions like:
- pack_mark_for_deletion()
- pack_is_marked_for_deletion()

When repacking with the `--write-midx` option, we invoke the function
`midx_included_packs()` in order to produce the list of packs we want to
include in the resulting MIDX.
This list is comprised of:
- existing .keep packs
- any pack(s) which were written earlier in the same process
- any unchanged packs when doing a `--geometric` repack
- any cruft packs
Prior to this patch, we stored pre-existing cruft and non-cruft packs
together (provided those packs are non-kept). This meant we needed an
additional bit to indicate which non-kept pack(s) were cruft versus
those that aren't.
But alternatively we can store cruft packs in a separate list, avoiding
the need for this extra bit, and simplifying the code below.

When there is:
- at least one pre-existing packfile (which is not marked as kept),
- repacking with the `-d` flag, and
- not doing a cruft repack
, then we pass a handful of additional options to the inner
`pack-objects` process, like `--unpack-unreachable`,
`--keep-unreachable`, and `--pack-loose-unreachable`, in addition to
marking any packs we just wrote for promisor remotes as kept in-core
(with `--keep-pack`, as opposed to the presence of a ".keep" file on
disk).
Because we store both cruft and non-cruft packs together in the same
`existing.non_kept_packs` list, it suffices to check its `nr` member to
see if it is zero or not.
But a following change will store cruft- and non-cruft packs separately,
meaning this check would break as a result. Prepare for this by
extracting this part of the check into a new helper function called
`has_existing_non_kept_packs()`.
This patch does not introduce any functional changes, but prepares us to
make a more isolated change in a subsequent patch.

To remove redundant packs at the end of a repacking operation, Git uses
its `remove_redundant_pack()` function in a loop over the set of
pre-existing, non-kept packs.
In a later commit, we will split this list into two, one for
pre-existing cruft pack(s), and another for non-cruft pack(s). Prepare
for this by factoring out the routine to loop over and delete redundant
packs into its own function.
Instead of calling `remove_redundant_pack()` directly, we now will call
`remove_redundant_existing_packs()`, which itself dispatches a call to
`remove_redundant_packs_1()`. Note that the geometric repacking code
will still call `remove_redundant_pack()` directly, but see the previous
commit for more details.
Having `remove_redundant_packs_1()` exist as a separate function may
seem like overkill in this patch. However, a later patch will call
`remove_redundant_packs_1()` once over two separate lists, so this
refactoring sets us up for that.

To reduce the complexity of the already quite-long `cmd_repack()`
implementation, extract out the parts responsible for deleting redundant

At the end of a repack (when given `-d`), Git attempts to remove any
packs which have been made "redundant" as a result of the repacking
operation. For example, an all-into-one (`-A` or `-a`) repack makes
every pre-existing pack which is not marked as kept redundant. Geometric
repacks (with `--geometric=<n>`) make any packs which were rolled up
redundant, and so on.
But before deleting the set of packs we think are redundant, we first
check to see whether or not we just wrote a pack which is identical to
any one of the packs we were going to delete. When this is the case, Git
must avoid deleting that pack, since it matches a pack we just wrote
(so deleting it may cause the repository to become corrupt).
Right now we only process the list of non-kept packs in a single pass.
But a future change will split the existing non-kept packs further into
two lists: one for cruft packs, and another for non-cruft packs.
Factor out this routine to prepare for calling it twice on two separate
lists in a future patch.

The repack machinery needs to keep track of which packfiles were present
in the repository at the beginning of a repack, segmented by whether or
not each pack is marked as kept.
The names of these packs are stored in two `string_list`s, corresponding
to kept- and non-kept packs, respectively. As a consequence, many
functions within the repack code need to take both `string_list`s as
arguments, leading to code like this:
ret = write_cruft_pack(&cruft_po_args, packtmp, pack_prefix,
cruft_expiration, &names,
&existing_nonkept_packs, /* <- */
&existing_kept_packs); /* <- */
Wrap up this pair of `string_list`s into a single structure that stores
both. This saves us from having to pass both string lists separately,
and prepares for adding additional fields to this structure.

Every once in a while, the `git-p4` tests flake for reasons outside of

This happens in other jobs, too, but in the `linux-asan-ubsan` job it
hurts the most because that job often takes over a full hour to run,
therefore re-running a failed `linux-asan-ubsan` job is _very_ costly.
The purpose of the `linux-asan-ubsan` job is to exercise the C code of
Git, anyway, and any part of Git's source code that the `git-p4` tests
run and that would benefit from the attention of ASAN/UBSAN are run
better in other tests anyway, as debugging C code run via Python scripts
can get a bit hairy.
In fact, it is not even just `git-p4` that is the problem (even if it
flakes often enough to be problematic in the CI builds), but really the
part about Python scripts. So let's just skip any Python parts of the
tests from being run in that job.
For good measure, also skip the Subversion tests because debugging C
code run via Perl scripts is as much fun as debugging C code run via
Python scripts. And it will reduce the time this very expensive job
takes, which is a big benefit.

SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 384 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
This leak was addressed independently via 68b51172e3 (commit-reach: fix
memory leak in get_reachable_subset(), 2023-06-03), which makes t5583
leak-free.
But t5583 was not in the tree when 68b51172e3 was written, and the two
only met after the latter was merged back in via 693bde461c (Merge
branch 'mh/commit-reach-get-reachable-plug-leak', 2023-06-20).
At that point, t5583 was leak-free. Let's mark it as such accordingly.

In the topic merged via 5a4f8381b6 (Merge branch
'ab/mark-leak-free-tests', 2021-10-25), a handful of tests in the suite
were marked as leak-free.
Since then, a handful of tests have become leak-free due to changes like
- 861c56f6f9 (branch: fix a leak in setup_tracking, 2023-06-11), and
- 866b43e644 (do_read_index(): always mark index as initialized unless
erroring out, 2023-06-29)
, but weren't updated at the time to mark themselves as such. This leads
to test "failures" when running:
$ make SANITIZE=leak
$ make -C t \
GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=check \
GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true \
GIT_TEST_OPTS=-vi test
This patch closes those gaps by exporting TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK=true
before sourcing t/test-lib.sh on most remaining leak-free tests.
There are a couple of other tests which are similarly leak-free, but not
included in the list of tests touched by this patch. The remaining tests
will be addressed in the subsequent two patches.

When I run the tests in leak-checking mode the same way our CI job does,
like:
make SANITIZE=leak \
GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=true \
GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true \
test
then LSan can racily produce useless entries in the log files that look
like this:
==git==3034393==Unable to get registers from thread 3034307.
I think they're mostly harmless based on the source here:
7e0a52e8e9/compiler-rt/lib/lsan/lsan_common.cpp (L414)
which reads:
PtraceRegistersStatus have_registers =
suspended_threads.GetRegistersAndSP(i, ®isters, &sp);
if (have_registers != REGISTERS_AVAILABLE) {
Report("Unable to get registers from thread %llu.\n", os_id);
// If unable to get SP, consider the entire stack to be reachable unless
// GetRegistersAndSP failed with ESRCH.
if (have_registers == REGISTERS_UNAVAILABLE_FATAL)
continue;
sp = stack_begin;
}
The program itself still runs fine and LSan doesn't cause us to abort.
But test-lib.sh looks for any non-empty LSan logs and marks the test as
a failure anyway, under the assumption that we simply missed the failing
exit code somehow.
I don't think I've ever seen this happen in the CI job, but running
locally using clang-14 on an 8-core machine, I can't seem to make it
through a full run of the test suite without having at least one
failure. And it's a different one every time (though they do seem to
often be related to packing tests, which makes sense, since that is one
of our biggest users of threaded code).
We can hack around this by only counting LSan log files that contain a
line that doesn't match our known-uninteresting pattern.

There are many reasons why discovering a Git directory may fail. In
particular, 8959555cee (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for
the top-level directory, 2022-03-02) added ownership checks as a
security precaution.
Callers attempting to set up a Git directory may want to inform the user
about the reason for the failure. For that, expose the enum
discovery_result from within setup.c and move it into cache.h where
discover_git_directory() is defined.
I initially wanted to change the return type of discover_git_directory()
to be this enum, but several callers rely upon the "zero means success".
The two problems with this are:
1. The zero value of the enum is actually GIT_DIR_NONE, so nonpositive
results are errors.
2. There are multiple successful states; positive results are
successful.
It is worth noting that GIT_DIR_NONE is not returned, so we remove this
option from the enum. We must be careful to keep the successful reasons
as positive values, so they are given explicit positive values.
Instead of updating all callers immediately, add a new method,
discover_git_directory_reason(), and convert discover_git_directory() to
be a thin shim on top of it.
One thing that is important to note is that discover_git_directory()
previously returned -1 on error, so let's continue that into the future.
There is only one caller (in scalar.c) that depends on that signedness
instead of a non-zero check, so clean that up, too.
Because there are extra checks that discover_git_directory_reason() does
after setup_git_directory_gently_1(), there are other modes that can be
returned for failure states. Add these modes to the enum, but be sure to
explicitly add them as BUG() states in the switch of
setup_git_directory_gently().

At times, we may need to push the same commit to multiple branches
in the same push. Rewinding 'next' to rebuild on top of 'master'
soon after a release is such an occasion. Making sure 'main' stays
in sync with 'master' to help those who expect that primary branch
of the project is named either of these is another.
We already use the branch name as a "concurrency group" key, but
that does not address the situation illustrated above.
Let's introduce another `concurrency` attribute, using the commit
hash as the concurrency group key, on the workflow run level, to
address this. This will hold any workflow run in the queued state
when there is already a workflow run targeting the same commit,
until that latter run completed. The `skip-if-redundant` check of
the second run will then have a chance to see whether the first
run succeeded.
The only caveat with this strategy is that only one workflow run
will be kept in the queued state by the `concurrency` feature: if
another run targeting the same commit is triggered, the
previously-queued run will be canceled. Considering the benefit,
this seems the smaller price to pay than to overload Git's build
agent pool with undesired workflow runs.
