Simplify the signature of read_tree_recursive() to omit the "base",
"baselen" and "stage" arguments. No callers of it use these parameters
for anything anymore.
The last function to call read_tree_recursive() with a non-"" path was
read_tree_recursive() itself, but that was changed in
ffd31f661d (Reimplement read_tree_recursive() using
tree_entry_interesting(), 2011-03-25).
The last user of the "stage" parameter went away in the last commit,
and even that use was mere boilerplate.
So let's remove those and rename the read_tree_recursive() function to
just read_tree(). We had another read_tree() function that I've
refactored away in preceding commits, since all in-tree users read
trees recursively with a callback we can change the name to signify
that this is the norm.

hashmap_free(), hashmap_free_entries(), and hashmap_free_() have existed
for a while, but aren't necessarily the clearest names, especially with
hashmap_partial_clear() being added to the mix and lazy-initialization
now being supported. Peff suggested we adopt the following names[1]:
- hashmap_clear() - remove all entries and de-allocate any
hashmap-specific data, but be ready for reuse
- hashmap_clear_and_free() - ditto, but free the entries themselves
- hashmap_partial_clear() - remove all entries but don't deallocate
table
- hashmap_partial_clear_and_free() - ditto, but free the entries
This patch provides the new names and converts all existing callers over
to the new naming scheme.

All "mergy" operations that internally use the merge-recursive

The 'merge' command is not the only one that does merges; other commands
like checkout -m or rebase do as well. Unfortunately, the only area of
the code that checked for the "merge.renormalize" config setting was in
builtin/merge.c, meaning it could only affect merges performed by the
"merge" command. Move the handling of this config setting to
merge_recursive_config() so that other commands can benefit from it as
well. Fixes a few tests in t6038.

There are a variety of situations where a filter process can make use of
some additional metadata. For example, some people find the ident
filter too limiting and would like to include the commit or the branch
in their smudged files. This information isn't available during
checkout as HEAD hasn't been updated at that point, and it wouldn't be
available in archives either.
Let's add a way to pass this metadata down to the filter. We pass the
blob we're operating on, the treeish (preferring the commit over the
tree if one exists), and the ref we're operating on. Note that we won't
pass this information in all cases, such as when renormalizing or when
we're performing diffs, since it doesn't make sense in those cases.
The data we currently get from the filter process looks like the
following:
command=smudge
pathname=git.c
0000
With this change, we'll get data more like this:
command=smudge
pathname=git.c
refname=refs/tags/v2.25.1
treeish=c522f061d551c9bb8684a7c3859b2ece4499b56b
blob=7be7ad34bd053884ec48923706e70c81719a8660
0000
There are a couple things to note about this approach. For operations
like checkout, treeish will always be a commit, since we cannot check
out individual trees, but for other operations, like archive, we can end
up operating on only a particular tree, so we'll provide only a tree as
the treeish. Similar comments apply for refname, since there are a
variety of cases in which we won't have a ref.
This commit wires up the code to print this information, but doesn't
pass any of it at this point. In a future commit, we'll have various
code paths pass the actual useful data down.

rename/add, rename/rename(2to1) and each rename/add piece of a

However, this consistency was not enforced when opt->priv->call_depth >

rename/rename(2to1) conflicts in the recursive case to also be
consistent. As an added bonus, this simplifies the code considerably.

The merge-recursive code uses stage number constants like this:
add = &ci->ren1->dst_entry->stages[2 ^ 1];
...
add = &ci->ren2->dst_entry->stages[3 ^ 1];
The xor has the effect of flipping the "1" bit, so that "2 ^ 1" becomes
"3" and "3 ^ 1" becomes "2", which correspond to the "ours" and "theirs"
stages respectively.
Unfortunately, clang-10 and up issue a warning for this code:
merge-recursive.c:1759:40: error: result of '2 ^ 1' is 3; did you mean '1 << 1' (2)? [-Werror,-Wxor-used-as-pow]
add = &ci->ren1->dst_entry->stages[2 ^ 1];
~~^~~
1 << 1
merge-recursive.c:1759:40: note: replace expression with '0x2 ^ 1' to silence this warning
We could silence it by using 0x2, as the compiler mentions. Or by just
using the constants "2" and "3" directly. But after digging into it, I
do think this bit-flip is telling us something. If we just wrote:
add = &ci->ren2->dst_entry->stages[2];
for the second one, you might think that "ren2" and "2" correspond. But
they don't. The logic is: ren2 is theirs, which is stage 3, but we
are interested in the opposite side's stage, so flip it to 2.
So let's keep the bit-flipping, but let's also put it behind a named
function, which will make its purpose a bit clearer. This also has the
side effect of suppressing the warning (and an optimizing compiler
should be able to easily turn it into a constant as before).

Back when merge-recursive was first introduced in commit 6d297f8137
(Status update on merge-recursive in C, 2006-07-08), it created a
sha_eq() function. This function pre-dated the introduction of
hashcmp() to cache.h by about a month, but was switched over to using
hashcmp() as part of commit 9047ebbc22 (Split out merge_recursive() to
merge-recursive.c, 2008-08-12). In commit b4da9d62f9 (merge-recursive:
convert leaf functions to use struct object_id, 2016-06-24), sha_eq() was
renamed to oid_eq() and its hashcmp() call was switched to oideq().
oid_eq() is basically just a wrapper around oideq() that has some extra
checks to protect against NULL arguments or to allow short-circuiting if
one of the arguments is NULL. I don't know if any caller ever tried to
call with NULL arguments, but certainly none do now which means the
extra checks serve no purpose. (Also, if these checks were genuinely
useful, then they probably should be added to the main oideq() so all
callers could benefit from them.)
Reduce the cognitive overhead of having both oid_eq() and oideq(), by
getting rid of merge-recursive's special oid_eq() wrapper.

Dscho noted a few things making this function hard to follow.
Restructure it a bit and add comments to make it easier to follow. The
restructurings include:
* There was a special case if-check at the end of the function
checking whether someone just renamed a file within its original
directory, meaning that there could be no directory rename involved.
That check was slightly convoluted; it could be done in a more
straightforward fashion earlier in the function, and can be done
more cheaply too (no call to strncmp).
* The conditions for advancing end_of_old and end_of_new before
calling strchr were both confusing and unnecessary. If either
points at a '/', then they need to be advanced in order to find the
next '/'. If either doesn't point at a '/', then advancing them one
char before calling strchr() doesn't hurt. So, just rip out the
if conditions and advance both before calling strchr().

In commit 8e4ec337 ("merge-recursive: fix the diff3 common ancestor
label for virtual commits", 2019-10-01), which was a fix to commit
743474cbfa ("merge-recursive: provide a better label for diff3
common ancestor", 2019-08-17), the label for the common ancestor was
changed from always being
"merged common ancestors"
to instead be based on the number of merge bases and whether the merge
base was a real commit or a virtual one:
>=2: "merged common ancestors"
1, via merge_recursive_generic: "constructed merge base"
1, otherwise: <abbreviated commit hash>
0: "<empty tree>"
The handling for "constructed merge base" worked by allowing
opt->ancestor to be set in merge_recursive_generic(), so we paid
attention to the setting of that variable in merge_recursive_internal().
Now, for the outer merge, the code flow was simply the following:
ancestor_name = "merged merge bases"
loop over merge_bases: merge_recursive_internal()
The first merge base not needing recursion would determine its own
ancestor_name however necessary and thus run
ancestor_name = $SOMETHING
empty loop over merge_bases...
opt->ancestor = ancestor_name
merge_trees_internal()
Now, the next set of merge_bases that would need to be merged after this
particular merge had completed would note that opt->ancestor has been
set to something (to a local ancestor_name variable that has since been
popped off the stack), and thus it would run:
... else if (opt->ancestor) {
ancestor_name = opt->ancestor; /* OOPS! */
loop over merge_bases: merge_recursive_internal()
opt->ancestor = ancestor_name
merge_trees_internal()
This resulted in garbage strings being printed for the virtual merge
bases, which was visible in git.git by just merging commit b744c3af07
into commit 6d8cb22a4f. There are two ways to fix this: set
opt->ancestor to NULL after using it to avoid re-use, or add a
!opt->priv->call_depth check to the if block for using a pre-defined
opt->ancestor. Apply both fixes.

is already given.

was changed from always being
"merged common ancestors"
to instead be based on the number of merge bases:

Unfortunately, this did not take into account that when we have a single
merge base, that merge base could be fake or constructed. In such
cases, this resulted in a label of "00000000". Of course, the previous
label of "merged common ancestors" was also misleading for this case.
Since we have an API that is explicitly about creating fake merge base
commits in merge_recursive_generic(), we should provide a better label
when using that API with one merge base. So, when
merge_recursive_generic() is called with one merge base, set the label
to:
"constructed merge base"
Note that callers of merge_recursive_generic() include the builtin
commands git-am (in combination with git apply --build-fake-ancestor),

When the working tree has:

(note that lstat() for "foo/bar" would tell us that it is a directory)
and the user merges a commit that deletes the foo symlink and instead

- bar (directory, as above)
- bar/file (file, as above)
- foo (directory)
- foo/bar (file)
the merge should happen without requiring user intervention. However,
this does not happen.
This is because dir_in_way(), when checking the working tree, thinks
that "foo/bar" is a directory. But a symlink should be treated much the
same as a file: since dir_in_way() is only checking to see if there is a
directory in the way, we don't want symlinks in leading paths to
sometimes cause dir_in_way() to return true.

If opt->buffer_output is less than 2, then merge_trees(),

flush the opt->obuf output buffer to stdout and release any memory it
holds. merge_trees() did not do this. Move the logic that handles this
for merge_recursive_internal() to merge_finalize() so that all three
methods handle this requirement.
Note that this bug didn't cause any problems currently, because there
are only two callers of merge_trees() right now (a git grep for
'merge_trees(' is misleading because builtin/merge-tree.c also defines a
'merge_tree' function that is unrelated), and only one of those is
called with buffer_output less than 2 (builtin/checkout.c), but it set
opt->verbosity to 0, for which there is only currently one non-error
message that would be shown: "Already up to date!". However, that one
message can only occur when the merge is utterly trivial (the merge base
tree exactly matches the merge tree), and builtin/checkout.c already
attempts a trivial merge via unpack_trees() before falling back to
merge_trees().
Also, if opt->buffer_output is 2, then the caller is responsible to
handle showing any output in opt->obuf and for free'ing it. This
requirement might be easy to overlook, so add a comment to
merge-recursive.h pointing it out. (There are currently two callers
that set buffer_output to 2, both in sequencer.c, and both of which

instead of implementing the logic for how to combine the multiple
source locations into the appropriate setting at config loading time,
we loaded and tracked both values and then made the code combine them
every time it wanted to check the overall value. This had a few
minor drawbacks:
* it seems more complicated than necessary
* it runs the risk of people using the independent settings in the
future and breaking the intent of how the options are used
together
* it makes merge_options more complicated than necessary for other
potential users of the API

file. Change all of these to 'merge_base' or 'merge_bases'.

No substantive code change, just add some line breaks to fix lines that
have grown in length due to various refactorings. Most remaining lines
of excessive length in merge-recursive include error messages and it's
not clear that splitting those improves things.

write_tree_from_memory() appeared to be a merge-recursive special that
basically duplicated write_index_as_tree(). The two have a different
signature, but the bigger difference was just that write_index_as_tree()
would always unconditionally read the index off of disk instead of
working on the current in-memory index. So:
* split out common code into write_index_as_tree_internal()
* rename write_tree_from_memory() to write_inmemory_index_as_tree(),
make it call write_index_as_tree_internal(), and move it to
cache-tree.c

Alternatively, you can view this as "make the merge functions behave
more similarly." merge-recursive has three different entry points:
merge_trees(), merge_recursive(), and merge_recursive_generic(). Two of
these would call diff_warn_rename_limit(), but merge_trees() didn't.
This lead to callers of merge_trees() needing to manually call
diff_warn_rename_limit() themselves. Move this to the new
merge_finalize() function to make sure that all three entry points run
this function.
Note that there are two external callers of merge_trees(), one in
sequencer.c and one in builtin/checkout.c. The one in sequencer.c is
cleaned up by this patch and just transfers where the call to
diff_warn_rename_limit() is made; the one in builtin/checkout.c is for
switching to a different commit and in the very rare case where the
warning might be triggered, it would probably be helpful to include
(e.g. if someone is modifying a file that has been renamed in moving to
the other commit, but there are so many renames between the commits that
the limit kicks in and none are detected, it may help to have an
explanation about why they got a delete/modify conflict instead of a
proper content merge in a renamed file).

merge_trees() took a results parameter that would only be written when
opt->call_depth was positive, which is never the case now that
merge_trees_internal() has been split from merge_trees(). Remove the
misleading and unused parameter from merge_trees().
While at it, add some comments explaining how the output of
merge_trees() and merge_recursive() differ.

We had a rule to enforce that the index matches head, but it was found
at the beginning of merge_trees() and would only trigger when
opt->call_depth was 0. Since merge_recursive() doesn't call
merge_trees() until after returning from recursing, this meant that the
check wasn't triggered by merge_recursive() until it had first finished
all the intermediate merges to create virtual merge bases. That is a
potentially huge amount of computation (and writing of intermediate
merge results into the .git/objects directory) before it errors out and
says, in effect, "Sorry, I can't do any merging because you have some
local changes that would be overwritten."
Further, not enforcing this requirement earlier allowed other bugs (such
as an unintentional unconditional dropping and reloading of the index in
merge_recursive() even when no recursion was necessary), to mask bugs in
other callers (which were fixed in the commit prior to this one).
Make sure we do the index == head check at the beginning of the merge,
and error out immediately if it fails. While we're at it, fix a small
leak in the show-the-error codepath.
