Đoàn Trần Công Danh e9011b6092 bisect--helper: parse subcommand with OPT_SUBCOMMAND
As of it is, we're parsing subcommand with OPT_CMDMODE, which will
continue to parse more options even if the command has been found.

When we're running "git bisect run" with a command that expecting
a "--log" or "--no-log" arguments, or one of those "--bisect-..."
arguments, bisect--helper may mistakenly think those options are
bisect--helper's option.

We may fix those problems by passing "--" when calling from
git-bisect.sh, and skip that "--" in bisect--helper. However, it may
interfere with user's "--".

Let's parse subcommand with OPT_SUBCOMMAND since that API was born for
this specific use-case.

Đoàn Trần Công Danh 58786d73ba bisect--helper: remove unused options
'git-bisect.sh' used to have a 'bisect_next_check' to check if we have
both good/bad, old/new terms set or not.  In commit 129a6cf344
(bisect--helper: `bisect_next_check` shell function in C, 2019-01-02),
a subcommand for bisect--helper was introduced to port the check to C.
Since d1bbbe45df (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_run` shell
function in C, 2021-09-13), all users of 'bisect_next_check' was
re-implemented in C, this subcommand was no longer used but we forgot
to remove '--bisect-next-check'.

'git-bisect.sh' also used to have a 'bisect_write' function, whose
third positional parameter was a "nolog" flag.  This flag was only used
when 'bisect_start' invoked 'bisect_write' to write the starting good
and bad revisions.  Then 0f30233a11 (bisect--helper: `bisect_write`
shell function in C, 2019-01-02) ported it to C as a command mode of
'bisect--helper', which (incorrectly) added the '--no-log' option,
and convert the only place ('bisect_start') that call 'bisect_write'
with 'nolog' to 'git bisect--helper --bisect-write' with 'nolog'
instead of '--no-log', since 'bisect--helper' has command modes not
subcommands, all other command modes see and handle that option as well.
This bogus state didn't last long, however, because in the same patch
series 06f5608c14 (bisect--helper: `bisect_start` shell function
partially in C, 2019-01-02) the C reimplementation of bisect_start()
started calling the bisect_write() C function, this time with the
right 'nolog' function parameter. From then on there was no need for
the '--no-log' option in 'bisect--helper'. Eventually all bisect
subcommands were ported to C as 'bisect--helper' command modes, each
calling the bisect_write() C function instead, but when the
'--bisect-write' command mode was removed in 68efed8c8a
(bisect--helper: retire `--bisect-write` subcommand, 2021-02-03) it
forgot to remove that '--no-log' option.
'--no-log' option had never been used and it's unused now.

Let's remove --bisect-next-check and --no-log from option parsing.

Victoria Dye 652bd0211d rebase: use 'skip_cache_tree_update' option
Enable the 'skip_cache_tree_update' option in both 'do_reset()'
('sequencer.c') and 'reset_head()' ('reset.c'). Both of these callers invoke
'prime_cache_tree()' after 'unpack_trees()', so we can remove an unnecessary
cache tree rebuild by skipping 'cache_tree_update()'.

When testing with 'p3400-rebase.sh' and 'p3404-rebase-interactive.sh', the
performance change of this update was negligible, likely due to the
operation being dominated by more expensive operations (like checking out
trees). However, since the change doesn't harm performance, it's worth
keeping this 'unpack_trees()' usage consistent with others that subsequently
invoke 'prime_cache_tree()'.

Victoria Dye dc5d40f5bc read-tree: use 'skip_cache_tree_update' option
When running 'read-tree' with a single tree and no prefix,
'prime_cache_tree()' is called after the tree is unpacked. In that
situation, skip a redundant call to 'cache_tree_update()' in
'unpack_trees()' by enabling the 'skip_cache_tree_update' unpack option.

Removing the redundant cache tree update provides a substantial performance
improvement to 'git read-tree <tree-ish>', as shown by a test added to
'p0006-read-tree-checkout.sh':

Test                          before            after
----------------------------------------------------------------------
read-tree br_ballast_plus_1   3.94(1.80+1.57)   3.00(1.14+1.28) -23.9%

Note that the 'read-tree' in 't1022-read-tree-partial-clone.sh' is updated
to read two trees, rather than one. The test was first introduced in
d3da223f22 (cache-tree: prefetch in partial clone read-tree, 2021-07-23) to
exercise the 'cache_tree_update()' code path, as used in 'git merge'. Since
this patch drops the call to 'cache_tree_update()' in single-tree 'git
read-tree', change the test to use the two-tree variant so that
'cache_tree_update()' is called as intended.

Victoria Dye 0e47bca0f7 reset: use 'skip_cache_tree_update' option
Enable the 'skip_cache_tree_update' option in the variants that call
'prime_cache_tree()' after 'unpack_trees()' (specifically, 'git reset
--mixed' and 'git reset --hard'). This avoids redundantly rebuilding the
cache tree in both 'cache_tree_update()' at the end of 'unpack_trees()' and
in 'prime_cache_tree()', resulting in a small (but consistent) performance
improvement. From the newly-added 'p7102-reset.sh' test:

Victoria Dye 68fcd48baf unpack-trees: add 'skip_cache_tree_update' option
Add (disabled by default) option to skip the 'cache_tree_update()' at the
end of 'unpack_trees()'. In many cases, this cache tree update is redundant
because the caller of 'unpack_trees()' immediately follows it with
'prime_cache_tree()', rebuilding the entire cache tree from scratch. While
these operations aren't the most expensive part of operations like 'git
reset', the duplicate calls still create a minor unnecessary slowdown.

Introduce an option for callers to skip the 'cache_tree_update()' in
'unpack_trees()' if it is redundant (that is, if 'prime_cache_tree()' is
called afterwards). At the moment, no 'unpack_trees()' callers use the new
option; they will be updated in subsequent patches.

Victoria Dye 94fcf0e852 cache-tree: add perf test comparing update and prime
Add a performance test comparing the execution times of 'prime_cache_tree()'
and 'cache_tree_update(_, WRITE_TREE_SILENT | WRITE_TREE_REPAIR)'. The goal
of comparing these two is to identify which is the faster method for
rebuilding an invalid cache tree, ultimately to remove one when both are
(reundantly) called in immediate succession.

Both methods are fast, so the new tests in 'p0090-cache-tree.sh' must call
each tested function multiple times to ensure the reported times (to 0.01s
resolution) convey the differences between them.

The tests compare the timing of a 'test-tool cache-tree' run as a no-op (to
capture a baseline for the overhead associated with running the tool),
'cache_tree_update()', and 'prime_cache_tree()' on four scenarios:

- A completely valid cache tree
- A cache tree with 2 invalid paths
- A cache tree with 50 invalid paths
- A completely empty cache tree

Example results:

Test                                        this tree
-----------------------------------------------------------
0090.2: no-op, clean                        1.27(0.48+0.52)
0090.3: prime_cache_tree, clean             2.02(0.83+0.85)
0090.4: cache_tree_update, clean            1.30(0.49+0.54)
0090.5: no-op, invalidate 2                 1.29(0.48+0.54)
0090.6: prime_cache_tree, invalidate 2      1.98(0.81+0.83)
0090.7: cache_tree_update, invalidate 2     2.12(0.94+0.86)
0090.8: no-op, invalidate 50                1.32(0.50+0.55)
0090.9: prime_cache_tree, invalidate 50     2.10(0.86+0.89)
0090.10: cache_tree_update, invalidate 50   2.35(1.14+0.90)
0090.11: no-op, empty                       1.33(0.50+0.54)
0090.12: prime_cache_tree, empty            2.04(0.84+0.87)
0090.13: cache_tree_update, empty           2.51(1.27+0.92)

These timings show that, while 'cache_tree_update()' is faster when the
cache tree is completely valid, it is equal to or slower than
'prime_cache_tree()' when there are any invalid paths. Since the redundant
calls are mostly in scenarios where the cache tree will be at least
partially invalid (e.g., 'git reset --hard'), 'prime_cache_tree()' will
likely perform better than 'cache_tree_update()' in typical cases.

Jeff King eb20e63f5a branch: gracefully handle '-d' on orphan HEAD
When deleting a branch, "git branch -d" has a safety check that ensures
the branch is merged to its upstream (if any), or to HEAD. To do that,
naturally we try to resolve HEAD to a commit object. If we're on an
orphan branch (i.e., HEAD points to a branch that does not yet exist),
that will fail, and we'll bail with an error:

  $ git branch -d to-delete
  fatal: Couldn't look up commit object for HEAD

This usually isn't that big of a deal. The deletion would fail anyway,
since the branch isn't merged to HEAD, and you'd need to use "-D" (or
"-f"). And doing so skips the HEAD resolution, courtesy of 67affd5173
(git-branch -D: make it work even when on a yet-to-be-born branch,
2006-11-24).

But there are still two problems:

  1. The error message isn't very helpful. We should give the usual "not
     fully merged" message, which points the user at "branch -D". That
     was a problem even back in 67affd5173.

  2. Even without a HEAD, these days it's still possible for the
     deletion to succeed. After 67affd5173, commit 99c419c915 (branch
     -d: base the "already-merged" safety on the branch it merges with,
     2009-12-29) made it OK to delete a branch if it is merged to its
     upstream.

We can fix both by removing the die() in delete_branches() completely,
leaving head_rev NULL in this case. It's tempting to stop there, as it
appears at first glance that the rest of the code does the right thing
with a NULL. But sadly, it's not quite true.

We end up feeding the NULL to repo_is_descendant_of(). In the
traditional code path there, we call repo_in_merge_bases_many(). It
feeds the NULL to repo_parse_commit(), which is smart enough to return
an error, and we immediately return "no, it's not a descendant".

But there's an alternate code path: if we have a commit graph with
generation numbers, we end up in can_all_from_reach(), which does
eventually try to set a flag on the NULL commit and segfaults.

So instead, we'll teach the local branch_merged() helper to treat a NULL
as "not merged". This would be a little more elegant in in_merge_bases()
itself, but that function is called in a lot of places, and it's not
clear that quietly returning "not merged" is the right thing everywhere
(I'd expect in many cases, feeding a NULL is a sign of a bug).

There are four tests here:

  a. The first one confirms that deletion succeeds with an orphaned HEAD
     when the branch is merged to its upstream. This is case (2) above.

  b. Same, but with commit graphs enabled. Even if it is merged to
     upstream, we still check head_rev so that we can say "deleting
     because it's merged to upstream, even though it's not merged to
     HEAD". Without the second hunk in branch_merged(), this test would
     segfault in can_all_from_reach().

  c. The third one confirms that we correctly say "not merged to HEAD"
     when we can't resolve HEAD, and reject the deletion.

  d. Same, but with commit graphs enabled. Without the first hunk in
     branch_merged(), this one would segfault.

store over cache.
https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAGJzqskRYN49SeS8kSEN5-vbB_Jt1QvAV9QhS6zNuKh0u8wxPQ@mail.gmail.com/

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 916ebb327c revisions API: extend the nascent REV_INFO_INIT macro
Have the REV_INFO_INIT macro added in [1] declare more members of
"struct rev_info" that we can initialize statically, and have
repo_init_revisions() do so with the memcpy(..., &blank) idiom
introduced in [2].

As the comment for the "REV_INFO_INIT" macro notes this still isn't
sufficient to initialize a "struct rev_info" for use yet. But we are
getting closer to that eventual goal.

Even though we can't fully initialize a "struct rev_info" with
REV_INFO_INIT it's useful for readability to clearly separate those
things that we can statically initialize, and those that we can't.

This change could replace the:

	list_objects_filter_init(&revs->filter);

In the repo_init_revisions() with this line, at the end of the
REV_INFO_INIT deceleration in revisions.h:

	.filter = LIST_OBJECTS_FILTER_INIT, \

But doing so would produce a minor conflict with an outstanding
topic[3]. Let's skip that for now. I have follow-ups to initialize
more of this statically, e.g. changes to get rid of grep_init(). We
can initialize more members with the macro in a future series.

   REV_INFO_INIT, 2022-04-13)

Johannes Schindelin 63357b79c9 ci: use a newer github-script version
The old version we currently use runs in node.js v12.x, which is being
deprecated in GitHub Actions. The new version uses node.js v16.x.

Incidentally, this also avoids the warning about the deprecated
`::set-output::` workflow command because the newer version of the
`github-script` Action uses the recommended new way to specify outputs.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 69d94464e1 submodule--helper: use OPT_SUBCOMMAND() API
Have the cmd_submodule__helper() use the OPT_SUBCOMMAND() API
introduced in fa83cc834d (parse-options: add support for parsing
subcommands, 2022-08-19).

This is only a marginal reduction in line count, but once we start
unifying this with a yet-to-be-added "builtin/submodule.c" it'll be
much easier to reason about those changes, as they'll both use
OPT_SUBCOMMAND().

We don't need to worry about "argv[0]" being NULL in the die() because
we'd have errored out in parse_options() as we're not using
"PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL".

Since 29a5e9e1ff (submodule--helper update-clone: learn --init,
2022-03-04) we've been passing "-C <prefix>" from "git-submodule.sh"
whenever we pass "--prefix <prefix>", so the latter is redundant to
the former. Let's drop the "--prefix" option.

Let's pass the "-C <prefix>" option instead to "absorbgitdirs" from
its only caller.

When it was added in f6f8586140 (submodule: add absorb-git-dir
function, 2016-12-12) there were other "submodule--helper" subcommands
that were invoked with "-C <prefix>", so we could have done this all
along.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 82ff87789b submodule API & "absorbgitdirs": remove "----recursive" option
Remove the "----recursive" option to "git submodule--helper
absorbgitdirs" (yes, with 4 dashes, not 2).

This option and all the "else" when "flags &
ABSORB_GITDIR_RECURSE_SUBMODULES" is false has never been used since
it was added in f6f8586140 (submodule: add absorb-git-dir function,
2016-12-12), which we'd have had to do as "----recursive", a
"--recursive" would have errored out.

It would be nice to follow-up with an optbug() assertion to
parse-options.c for such funnily named options, I manually validated
that this was the only long option whose name started with "-", but
let's skip adding such an assertion for now.
