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.

cfe853e66b hook-list.h: add a generated list of hooks, like config-list.h
Make githooks(5) the source of truth for what hooks git supports, and
punt out early on hooks we don't know about in find_hook(). This
ensures that the documentation and the C code's idea about existing
hooks doesn't diverge.

We still have Perl and Python code running its own hooks, but that'll
be addressed by Emily Shaffer's upcoming "git hook run" command.

This resolves a long-standing TODO item in bugreport.c of there being
no centralized listing of hooks, and fixes a bug with the bugreport
listing only knowing about 1/4 of the p4 hooks. It didn't know about
the recent "reference-transaction" hook either.

We could make the find_hook() function die() or BUG() out if the new
known_hook() returned 0, but let's make it return NULL just as it does
when it can't find a hook of a known type. Making it die() is overly
anal, and unlikely to be what we need in catching stupid typos in the
name of some new hook hardcoded in git.git's sources. By making this
be tolerant of unknown hook names, changes in a later series to make
"git hook run" run arbitrary user-configured hook names will be easier
to implement.

I have not been able to directly test the CMake change being made
here. Since 4c2c38e800 (ci: modification of main.yml to use cmake for
vs-build job, 2020-06-26) some of the Windows CI has a hard dependency
on CMake, this change works there, and is to my eyes an obviously
correct use of a pattern established in previous CMake changes,
namely:

 - 061c2240b1 (Introduce CMake support for configuring Git,
    2020-06-12)
 - 709df95b78 (help: move list_config_help to builtin/help,
    2020-04-16)
 - 976aaedca0 (msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual
   Studio solution, 2019-07-29)

The LC_ALL=C is needed because at least in my locale the dash ("-") is
ignored for the purposes of sorting, which results in a different
order. I'm not aware of anything in git that has a hard dependency on
the order, but e.g. the bugreport output would end up using whatever
locale was in effect when git was compiled.

c234e8a0ec Makefile: make the "sparse" target non-.PHONY
Change the "sparse" target and its *.sp dependencies to be
non-.PHONY. Before this change "make sparse" would take ~5s to re-run
all the *.c files through "cgcc", after it it'll create an empty *.sp
file sitting alongside the *.c file, only if the *.c file or its
dependencies are newer than the *.sp is the *.sp re-made.

We ensure that the recursive dependencies are correct by depending on
the *.o file, which in turn will have correct dependencies by either
depending on all header files, or under
"COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES=yes" the headers it needs.

This means that a plain "make sparse" is much slower, as we'll now
need to make the *.o files just to create the *.sp files, but
incrementally creating the *.sp files is *much* faster and less
verbose, it thus becomes viable to run "sparse" along with "all" as
e.g. "git rebase --exec 'make all sparse'".

On my box with -j8 "make sparse" was fast before, or around 5 seconds,
now it only takes that long the first time, and the common case is
<100ms, or however long it takes GNU make to stat the *.sp file and
see that all the corresponding *.c file and its dependencies are
older.

See 0bcd9ae85d (sparse: Fix errors due to missing target-specific
variables, 2011-04-21) for the modern implementation of the sparse
target being changed here.

It is critical that we use -Wsparse-error here, otherwise the error
would only show up once, but we'd successfully create the empty *.sp
file, and running a second time wouldn't show the error. I'm therefore
not putting it into SPARSE_FLAGS or SP_EXTRA_FLAGS, it's not optional,
the Makefile logic won't behave properly without it.

Appending to $@ without a move is OK here because we're using the
.DELETE_ON_ERROR Makefile feature. See 7b76d6bf22 (Makefile: add and
use the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag, 2021-06-29). GNU make ensures that on
error this file will be removed.

e9e8adf1a8 parallel-checkout: make it truly parallel
Use multiple worker processes to distribute the queued entries and call
write_pc_item() in parallel for them. The items are distributed
uniformly in contiguous chunks. This minimizes the chances of two
workers writing to the same directory simultaneously, which could affect
performance due to lock contention in the kernel. Work stealing (or any
other format of re-distribution) is not implemented yet.

The protocol between the main process and the workers is quite simple.
They exchange binary messages packed in pkt-line format, and use
PKT-FLUSH to mark the end of input (from both sides). The main process
starts the communication by sending N pkt-lines, each corresponding to
an item that needs to be written. These packets contain all the
necessary information to load, smudge, and write the blob associated
with each item. Then it waits for the worker to send back N pkt-lines
containing the results for each item. The resulting packet must contain:
the identification number of the item that it refers to, the status of
the operation, and the lstat() data gathered after writing the file (iff
the operation was successful).

For now, checkout always uses a hardcoded value of 2 workers, only to
demonstrate that the parallel checkout framework correctly divides and
writes the queued entries. The next patch will add user configurations
and define a more reasonable default, based on tests with the said
settings.

2057d75038 maintenance: create basic maintenance runner
The 'gc' builtin is our current entrypoint for automatically maintaining
a repository. This one tool does many operations, such as repacking the
repository, packing refs, and rewriting the commit-graph file. The name
implies it performs "garbage collection" which means several different
things, and some users may not want to use this operation that rewrites
the entire object database.

Create a new 'maintenance' builtin that will become a more general-
purpose command. To start, it will only support the 'run' subcommand,
but will later expand to add subcommands for scheduling maintenance in
the background.

For now, the 'maintenance' builtin is a thin shim over the 'gc' builtin.
In fact, the only option is the '--auto' toggle, which is handed
directly to the 'gc' builtin. The current change is isolated to this
simple operation to prevent more interesting logic from being lost in
all of the boilerplate of adding a new builtin.

Use existing builtin/gc.c file because we want to share code between the
two builtins. It is possible that we will have 'maintenance' replace the
'gc' builtin entirely at some point, leaving 'git gc' as an alias for
some specific arguments to 'git maintenance run'.

Create a new test_subcommand helper that allows us to test if a certain
subcommand was run. It requires storing the GIT_TRACE2_EVENT logs in a
file. A negation mode is available that will be used in later tests.

3821c38068 Makefile: add support for generating JSON compilation database
Tools based on LibClang [1] can make use of a 'JSON Compilation
Database' [2] that keeps track of the exact options used to compile a set
of source files.

For example, clangd [3], which is a C language server protocol
implementation, can use a JSON compilation database to determine the
flags needed to compile a file so it can provide proper editor
integration.  As a result, editors supporting the language server
protocol (such as VS Code, Emacs, or Vim, with suitable plugins) can
provide better searching, integration, and refactoring tools.

The Clang compiler can generate JSON fragments when compiling [4],
using the `-MJ` flag. These JSON fragments (one per compiled source
file) can then be concatenated to create the compilation database,
commonly called 'compile_commands.json'.

Add support to the Makefile for generating these JSON fragments as well
as the compilation database itself, if the environment variable
'GENERATE_COMPILATION_DATABASE' is set.

If this variable is set, check that $(CC) indeed supports the `-MJ`
flag, following what is done for automatic dependencies.

All JSON fragments are placed in the 'compile_commands/' directory, and
the compilation database 'compile_commands.json' is generated as a
dependency of the 'all' target using a `sed` invocation.

fc47391e24 drop vcs-svn experiment
The code in vcs-svn was started in 2010 as an attempt to build a
remote-helper for interacting with svn repositories (as opposed to
git-svn). However, we never got as far as shipping a mature remote
helper, and the last substantive commit was e99d012a6b in 2012.

We do have a git-remote-testsvn, and it is even installed as part of
"make install". But given the name, it seems unlikely to be used by
anybody (you'd have to explicitly "git clone testsvn::$url", and there
have been zero mentions of that on the mailing list since 2013, and even
that includes the phrase "you might need to hack a bit to get it working
properly"[1]).

We also ship contrib/svn-fe, which builds on the vcs-svn work. However,
it does not seem to build out of the box for me, as the link step misses
some required libraries for using libgit.a. Curiously, the original
build breakage bisects for me to eff80a9fd9 (Allow custom "comment
char", 2013-01-16), which seems unrelated. There was an attempt to fix
it in da011cb0e7 (contrib/svn-fe: fix Makefile, 2014-08-28), but on my
system that only switches the error message.

So it seems like the result is not really usable by anybody in practice.
It would be wonderful if somebody wanted to pick up the topic again, and
potentially it's worth carrying around for that reason. But the flip
side is that people doing tree-wide operations have to deal with this
code.  And you can see the list with (replace "HEAD" with this commit as
appropriate):

  {
    echo "--"
    git diff-tree --diff-filter=D -r --name-only HEAD^ HEAD
  } |
  git log --no-merges --oneline e99d012a6bc.. --stdin

which shows 58 times somebody had to deal with the code, generally due
to a compile or test failure, or a tree-wide style fix or API change.
Let's drop it and let anybody who wants to pick it up do so by
resurrecting it from the git history.

As a bonus, this also reduces the size of a stripped installation of Git
from 21MB to 19MB.

Teach Git how to prompt the user for a good bug report: reproduction
steps, expected behavior, and actual behavior. Later, Git can learn how
to collect some diagnostic information from the repository.

If users can send us a well-written bug report which contains diagnostic
information we would otherwise need to ask the user for, we can reduce
the number of question-and-answer round trips between the reporter and
the Git contributor.

Users may also wish to send a report like this to their local "Git
expert" if they have put their repository into a state they are confused
by.

709df95b78 help: move list_config_help to builtin/help
Starting in 3ac68a93fd, help.o began to depend on builtin/branch.o,
builtin/clean.o, and builtin/config.o. This meant that help.o was
unusable outside of the context of the main Git executable.

To make help.o usable by other commands again, move list_config_help()
into builtin/help.c (where it makes sense to assume other builtin libraries
are present).

When command-list.h is included but a member is not used, we start to
hear a compiler warning. Since the config list is generated in a fairly
different way than the command list, and since commands and config
options are semantically different, move the config list into its own
header and move the generator into its own script and build rule.

For reasons explained in 976aaedc (msvc: add a Makefile target to
pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, 2019-07-29), some build
artifacts we consider non-source files cannot be generated in the
Visual Studio environment, and we already have some Makefile tweaks
to help Visual Studio to use generated command-list.h header file.
Do the same to a new generated file, config-list.h, introduced by
this change.

to disable the builtin version of stash first released with Git 2.22.

Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden, and has in fact
become out of date failing a test since the 2.23 release, without
anyone noticing until now.  So users would be getting a hint to fall
back to a potentially buggy version of the tool.

We used to shell out to git config to get the useBuiltin configuration
to avoid changing any global state before spawning legacy-stash.
However that is no longer necessary, so just use the 'git_config'
function to get the setting instead.

Similar to what we've done in d03ebd411c ("rebase: remove the
rebase.useBuiltin setting", 2019-03-18), where we remove the
corresponding setting for rebase, we leave the documentation in place,
so people can refer back to it when searching for it online, and so we
can refer to it in the commit message.

94c0956b60 sparse-checkout: create builtin with 'list' subcommand
The sparse-checkout feature is mostly hidden to users, as its
only documentation is supplementary information in the docs for
'git read-tree'. In addition, users need to know how to edit the
.git/info/sparse-checkout file with the right patterns, then run
the appropriate 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' command. Keeping the
working directory in sync with the sparse-checkout file requires
care.

Begin an effort to make the sparse-checkout feature a porcelain
feature by creating a new 'git sparse-checkout' builtin. This
builtin will be the preferred mechanism for manipulating the
sparse-checkout file and syncing the working directory.

The documentation provided is adapted from the "git read-tree"
documentation with a few edits for clarity in the new context.
Extra sections are added to hint toward a future change to
a more restricted pattern set.

b503a2d515 Makefile: emulate compile in $(HCO) target better
Currently, when testing headers using `make hdr-check`, headers are
directly compiled. Although this seems to test the headers, this is too
strict since we treat the headers as C sources. As a result, this will
cause warnings to appear that would otherwise not, such as a static
variable definition intended for later use throwing a unused variable
warning.

In addition, on platforms that can run `make hdr-check` but require
custom flags, this target was failing because none of them were being
passed to the compiler. For example, on MacOS, the NO_OPENSSL flag was
being set but it was not being passed into compiler so the check was
failing.

Fix these problems by emulating the compile process better, including
test compiling dummy *.hcc C sources generated from the *.h files and
passing $(ALL_CFLAGS) into the compiler for the $(HCO) target so that
these custom flags can be used.

aac6ff7b5b .gitignore: stop ignoring .manifest files
On Windows, it is possible to embed additional metadata into an
executable by linking in a "manifest", i.e. an XML document that
describes capabilities and requirements (such as minimum or maximum
Windows version). These XML documents are expected to be stored in
`.manifest` files.

At least _some_ Visual Studio versions auto-generate `.manifest` files
when none is specified explicitly, therefore we used to ask Git to
ignore them.

However, we do have a beautiful `.manifest` file now:
`compat/win32/git.manifest`, so neither does Visual Studio auto-generate
a manifest for us, nor do we want Git to ignore the `.manifest` files
anymore.

b4f207f339 env--helper: new undocumented builtin wrapping git_env_*()
We have many GIT_TEST_* variables that accept a <boolean> because
they're implemented in C, and then some that take <non-empty?> because
they're implemented at least partially in shellscript.

Add a helper that wraps git_env_bool() and git_env_ulong() as the
first step in fixing this. This isn't being added as a test-tool mode
because some of these are used outside the test suite.

Part of what this tool does can be done via a trick with "git config"
added in 83d842dc8c ("tests: turn on network daemon tests by default",
2014-02-10) for test_tristate(), i.e.:

    git -c magic.variable="$1" config --bool magic.variable 2>/dev/null

But as subsequent changes will show being able to pass along the
default value makes all the difference, and we'll be able to replace
test_tristate() itself with that.

The --type=bool option will be used by subsequent patches, but not
--type=ulong. I figured it was easy enough to add it & test for it so
I left it in so we'd have wrappers for both git_env_*() functions, and
to have a template to make it obvious how we'd add --type=int etc. if
it's needed in the future.

46e91b663b checkout: split part of it to new command 'restore'
Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a
new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking
out paths path.

Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the
command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to
match the man page.

A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>':

- 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more
  when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both
  worktree and index).

- 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command
  overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'.

- both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time
  (from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This
  overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>'

- default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and
  HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as
  with --source (*).

- when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be
  specified since the default source for these two individual targets
  are different (**)

- --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the
  source, restoring means deleting the entry

(*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think
  --from is a better name. The short option -f however is already
  taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to
  write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD.

(**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from
  the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it
  through when they type the commands.

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.

d03ebd411c rebase: remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting
Remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting, which was added as an escape
hatch to disable the builtin version of rebase first released with Git
2.20.

See [1] for the initial implementation of rebase.useBuiltin, and [2]
and [3] for the documentation and corresponding
GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN option.

Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden as seen in
7e097e27d3 ("legacy-rebase: backport -C<n> and --whitespace=<option>
checks", 2018-11-20) and 9aea5e9286 ("rebase: fix regression in
rebase.useBuiltin=false test mode", 2019-02-13). Since the built-in
version has been shown to be stable enough let's remove the legacy
version.

As noted in [3] having use_builtin_rebase() shell out to get its
config doesn't make any sense anymore, that was done for the purposes
of spawning the legacy rebase without having modified any global
state. Let's instead handle this case in rebase_config().

There's still a bunch of references to git-legacy-rebase in po/*.po,
but those will be dealt with in time by the i18n effort.

Even though this configuration variable only existed two releases
let's not entirely delete the entry from the docs, but note its
absence. Individual versions of git tend to be around for a while due
to distro packaging timelines, so e.g. if we're "lucky" a given
version like 2.21 might be installed on say OSX for half a decade.

That'll mean some people probably setting this in config, and then
when they later wonder if it's needed they can Google search the
config option name or check it in git-config. It also allows us to
refer to the docs from the warning for details.
