a8022c5f7b send-email: expose header information to git-send-email's sendemail-validate hook
To allow further flexibility in the Git hook, the SMTP header
information of the email which git-send-email intends to send, is now
passed as the 2nd argument to the sendemail-validate hook.

As an example, this can be useful for acting upon keywords in the
subject or specific email addresses.

3c8d3adeae send-email: export patch counters in validate environment
When sending patch series (with a cover-letter or not)
sendemail-validate is called with every email/patch file independently
from the others. When one of the patches depends on a previous one, it
may not be possible to use this hook in a meaningful way. A hook that
wants to check some property of the whole series needs to know which
patch is the final one.

Expose the current and total number of patches to the hook via the
GIT_SENDEMAIL_PATCH_COUNTER and GIT_SENDEMAIL_PATCH_TOTAL environment
variables so that both incremental and global validation is possible.

Sharing any other state between successive invocations of the validate
hook must be done via external means. For example, by storing it in
a git config sendemail.validateWorktree entry.

Add a sample script with placeholder validations and update tests to
check that the counters are properly exported.

772f8ff826 githooks: discuss Git operations in foreign repositories
Hook authors are periodically caught off-guard by difficult-to-diagnose
errors when their hook invokes Git commands in a repository other than
the local one. In particular, Git environment variables, such as GIT_DIR
and GIT_WORK_TREE, which reference the local repository cause the Git
commands to operate on the local repository rather than on the
repository which the author intended. This is true whether the
environment variables have been set manually by the user or
automatically by Git itself. The same problem crops up when a hook
invokes Git commands in a different worktree of the same repository, as
well.

Recommended best-practice[1,2,3,4,5,6] for avoiding this problem is for
the hook to ensure that Git variables are unset before invoking Git
commands in foreign repositories or other worktrees:

    unset $(git rev-parse --local-env-vars)

However, this advice is not documented anywhere. Rectify this
shortcoming by mentioning it in githooks.txt documentation.

96e7225b31 hook: add 'run' subcommand
In order to enable hooks to be run as an external process, by a
standalone Git command, or by tools which wrap Git, provide an external
means to run all configured hook commands for a given hook event.

Most of our hooks require more complex functionality than this, but
let's start with the bare minimum required to support our simplest
hooks.

In terms of implementation the usage_with_options() and "goto usage"
pattern here mirrors that of
builtin/{commit-graph,multi-pack-index}.c.

Some of the implementation here, such as a function being named
run_hooks_opt() when it's tasked with running one hook, to using the
run_processes_parallel_tr2() API to run with jobs=1 is somewhere
between a bit odd and and an overkill for the current features of this
"hook run" command and the hook.[ch] API.

This code will eventually be able to run multiple hooks declared in
config in parallel, by starting out with these names and APIs we
reduce the later churn of renaming functions, switching from the
run_command() to run_processes_parallel_tr2() API etc.

The githooks(5) documentation states in several places that the hook
will receive a SHA-1 or hashes of 40 characters length. Given that we're

3abd4a67d9 Documentation: stylistically normalize references to Signed-off-by:
Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.

Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.

First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation.  So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.

The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425 (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line".  Commit 6f855371a5 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match.  Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.

Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon.  Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.

Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message".  As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.

However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.

3100fd5588 doc: clarify how exit status of post-checkout hook is used
Because the hook runs after the main checkout operation finishes, it
cannot affect what branch will be the current branch, what paths are
updated in the working tree, etc., which was described as "cannot
affect the outcome of 'checkout'".

However, the exit status of the hook is used as the exit status of
the 'checkout' command and is observable by anybody who spawned the
'checkout', which was missing from the documentation.  Fix this.

6754159767 refs: implement reference transaction hook
The low-level reference transactions used to update references are
currently completely opaque to the user. While certainly desirable in
most usecases, there are some which might want to hook into the
transaction to observe all queued reference updates as well as observing
the abortion or commit of a prepared transaction.

One such usecase would be to have a set of replicas of a given Git
repository, where we perform Git operations on all of the repositories
at once and expect the outcome to be the same in all of them. While
there exist hooks already for a certain subset of Git commands that
could be used to implement a voting mechanism for this, many others
currently don't have any mechanism for this.

The above scenario is the motivation for the new "reference-transaction"
hook that reaches directly into Git's reference transaction mechanism.
The hook receives as parameter the current state the transaction was
moved to ("prepared", "committed" or "aborted") and gets via its
standard input all queued reference updates. While the exit code gets
ignored in the "committed" and "aborted" states, a non-zero exit code in
the "prepared" state will cause the transaction to be aborted
prematurely.

Given the usecase described above, a voting mechanism can now be
implemented via this hook: as soon as it gets called, it will take all
of stdin and use it to cast a vote to a central service. When all
replicas of the repository agree, the hook will exit with zero,
otherwise it will abort the transaction by returning non-zero. The most
important upside is that this will catch _all_ commands writing
references at once, allowing to implement strong consistency for
reference updates via a single mechanism.

In order to test the impact on the case where we don't have any
"reference-transaction" hook installed in the repository, this commit
introduce two new performance tests for git-update-refs(1). Run against
an empty repository, it produces the following results:

  Test                         origin/master     HEAD
  --------------------------------------------------------------------
  1400.2: update-ref           2.70(2.10+0.71)   2.71(2.10+0.73) +0.4%
  1400.3: update-ref --stdin   0.21(0.09+0.11)   0.21(0.07+0.14) +0.0%

The performance test p1400.2 creates, updates and deletes a branch a
thousand times, thus averaging runtime of git-update-refs over 3000
invocations. p1400.3 instead calls `git-update-refs --stdin` three times
and queues a thousand creations, updates and deletes respectively.

As expected, p1400.3 consistently shows no noticeable impact, as for
each batch of updates there's a single call to access(3P) for the
negative hook lookup. On the other hand, for p1400.2, one can see an
impact caused by this patchset. But doing five runs of the performance
tests where each one was run with GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10, the overhead
ranged from -1.5% to +1.1%. These inconsistent performance numbers can
be explained by the overhead of spawning 3000 processes. This shows that
the overhead of assembling the hook path and executing access(3P) once
to check if it's there is mostly outweighed by the operating system's
overhead.

38ecf75244 git-p4: add p4 submit hooks
The git command "commit" supports a number of hooks that support
changing the behavior of the commit command.  The git-p4.py program only
has one existing hook, "p4-pre-submit".  This command occurs early in
the process.  There are no hooks in the process flow for modifying
the P4 changelist text programmatically.

Adds 3 new hooks to git-p4.py to the submit option.

The new hooks are:
* p4-prepare-changelist - Execute this hook after the changelist file
  has been created. The hook will be executed even if the
  --prepare-p4-only option is set.  This hook ignores the --no-verify
  option in keeping with the existing behavior of git commit.

* p4-changelist - Execute this hook after the user has edited the
  changelist. Do not execute this hook if the user has selected the
  --prepare-p4-only option. This hook will honor the --no-verify,
  following the conventions of git commit.

* p4-post-changelist - Execute this hook after the P4 submission process
  has completed successfully. This hook takes no parameters and is
  executed regardless of the --no-verify option.  It's return value will
  not be checked.

The calls to the new hooks: p4-prepare-changelist, p4-changelist,
and p4-post-changelist should all be called inside the try-finally
block.

--no-verify option. Before exiting on failure of this hook, display
text to the user explaining which hook has failed and the impact
of using the --no-verify option.

9df53c5de6 Recommend git-filter-repo instead of git-filter-branch
filter-branch suffers from a deluge of disguised dangers that disfigure
history rewrites (i.e. deviate from the deliberate changes).  Many of
these problems are unobtrusive and can easily go undiscovered until the
new repository is in use.  This can result in problems ranging from an
even messier history than what led folks to filter-branch in the first
place, to data loss or corruption.  These issues cannot be backward
compatibly fixed, so add a warning to both filter-branch and its manpage
recommending that another tool (such as filter-repo) be used instead.

Also, update other manpages that referenced filter-branch.  Several of
these needed updates even if we could continue recommending
filter-branch, either due to implying that something was unique to
filter-branch when it applied more generally to all history rewriting
tools (e.g. BFG, reposurgeon, fast-import, filter-repo), or because
something about filter-branch was used as an example despite other more
commonly known examples now existing.  Reword these sections to fix
these issues and to avoid recommending filter-branch.

Finally, remove the section explaining BFG Repo Cleaner as an
alternative to filter-branch.  I feel somewhat bad about this,
especially since I feel like I learned so much from BFG that I put to
good use in filter-repo (which is much more than I can say for
filter-branch), but keeping that section presented a few problems:
  * In order to recommend that people quit using filter-branch, we need
    to provide them a recomendation for something else to use that
    can handle all the same types of rewrites.  To my knowledge,
    filter-repo is the only such tool.  So it needs to be mentioned.
  * I don't want to give conflicting recommendations to users
  * If we recommend two tools, we shouldn't expect users to learn both
    and pick which one to use; we should explain which problems one
    can solve that the other can't or when one is much faster than
    the other.
  * BFG and filter-repo have similar performance
  * All filtering types that BFG can do, filter-repo can also do.  In
    fact, filter-repo comes with a reimplementation of BFG named
    bfg-ish which provides the same user-interface as BFG but with
    several bugfixes and new features that are hard to implement in
    BFG due to its technical underpinnings.
While I could still mention both tools, it seems like I would need to
provide some kind of comparison and I would ultimately just say that
filter-repo can do everything BFG can, so ultimately it seems that it
is just better to remove that section altogether.

A new hook "post-index-change" is called when the on-disk index
file changes, which can help e.g. a virtualized working tree

d787d311db checkout: split part of it to new command 'switch'
"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many
users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the
command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good
old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most
of users) are sick of it.

See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual
implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout"
and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will
adjust their behavior to match the man page.

1956ecd0ab read-cache: add post-index-change hook
Add a post-index-change hook that is invoked after the index is written in
do_write_locked_index().

This hook is meant primarily for notification, and cannot affect
the outcome of git commands that trigger the index write.

The hook is passed a flag to indicate whether the working directory was
updated or not and a flag indicating if a skip-worktree bit could have
changed.  These flags enable the hook to optimize its response to the
index change notification.

ade546be47 worktree: invoke post-checkout hook (unless --no-checkout)
git-clone and git-checkout both invoke the post-checkout hook following
a successful checkout, yet git-worktree neglects to do so even though it
too "checks out" the worktree. Fix this oversight.

Implementation note: The newly-created worktree may reference a branch
or be detached. In the latter case, a commit lookup is performed, though
the result is used only in a boolean sense to (a) determine if the
commit actually exists, and (b) assign either the branch name or commit
ID to HEAD. Since the post-commit hook needs to know the ID of the
checked-out commit, the lookup now needs to be done in all cases, rather
than only when detached. Consequently, a new boolean is needed to handle
(b) since the lookup result itself can no longer perform that role.

7db2cbf4f1 hooks doc: clarify when receive-pack invokes its hooks
The text meant to say that receive-pack runs these hooks, and only
because receive-pack is not a command the end users use every day
(ever), as an explanation also meantioned that it is run in response
to 'git push', which is an end-user facing command readers hopefully
know about.

This unfortunately gave an incorrect impression that 'git push'
always result in the hook to run.  If the refs push wanted to update
all already had the desired value, these hooks are not run.

Explicitly mention "... and updates reference(s)" as a precondition
to avoid this confusion.

Follow the Oxford style, which says to use "up-to-date" before the noun,
but "up to date" after it. Don't change plumbing (specifically
send-pack.c, but transport.c (git push) also has the same string).

This was produced by grepping for "up-to-date" and "up to date". It
turned out we only had to edit in one direction, removing the hyphens.

Fix a typo in Documentation/git-diff-index.txt while we're there.
