Finding mistakes in and improving your own patches is a good idea,
but doing so too quickly is being inconsiderate to reviewers who
have just seen the initial iteration and taking their time to review
it. Encourage new developers to perform such a self review before
they send out their patches, not after. After sending a patch that
they immediately found mistakes in, they are welcome to comment on
them, mentioning what and how they plan to improve them in an
updated version, before sending out their updates.

While we could technically fix each and every bug on top of the
commit that introduced it, it is not necessarily practical. For
trivial and low-value bugfixes, it often is simpler and sufficient
to just fix it in the current maintenance track, leaving the bug
unfixed in the older maintenance tracks.
Demote the "use older maintenance track to fix old bugs" as a side
note, and explain that the choice is used only in exceptional cases.

The 'next' branch is primarily meant to be a testing ground to make
sure that topics that are reasonably well done work well together.
Building a new work on it would mean everything that was already in
'next' must have graduated to 'master' before the new work can also
be merged to 'master', and that is why we do not encourage basing
new work on 'next'.

Replace all cases of `\s` with ` ` as it is not part of POSIX BRE or ERE
and therefore not all versions of grep handle it.
For the same reason all cases of `\S` are replaced with `[^ ]`. It is
not an exact replacement but it is close enough for this use case.
Also, do not write `\+` in BRE and expect it to mean 1 or more;
it is a GNU extension that may not work everywhere.

The naming convention around get_sha1_hex() and its friends is
awkward these days, after "struct object_id" was introduced.
There are three public functions around this area:
* get_sha1_hex() - use the implied the_hash_algo, fill uchar *
* get_oid_hex() - use the implied the_hash_algo, fill oid *
* get_oid_hex_algop() - use the passed algop, fill oid *
Between the latter two, the "_algop" suffix signals whether the
the_hash_algo is used as the implied algorithm or the caller should
pass an algorithm explicitly. That is very much understandable and
is a good convention.
Between the former two, however, the "SHA1" vs "OID" in the names
differentiate in what type of variable the result is stored.
We could argue that it makes sense to use "SHA1" to mean "flat byte
buffer" to honor the historical practice in the days before "struct
object_id" was invented, but the natural fourth friend of the above
group would take an algop and fill a flat byte buffer, and it would
be strange to name it get_sha1_hex_algop(). Do we use the passed in
algo, or are we limited to SHA-1 ;-)?
In fact, such a function exists, albeit as a private helper function
used by the implementation of these functions, and is named a lot
more sensibly: get_hash_hex_algop().
Correct the misnomer of get_sha1_hex() and use "hash", instead of
"sha1", as "flat byte buffer that stores binary (as opposed to
hexadecimal) representation of the hash".
The four (2x2) friends now become:
* get_hash_hex() - use the implied the_hash_algo, fill uchar *
* get_oid_hex() - use the implied the_hash_algo, fill oid *
* get_hash_hex_algop() - use the passed algop, fill uchar *
* get_oid_hex_algop() - use the passed algop, fill oid *
As there are only two remaining calls to get_sha1_hex() in the
codebase right now, the blast radious of this change is fairly
small.

Avoid changing the current working directory from outside of a sub-shell

Each test has mostly straightforward changes, either:
- Removing the top-level `cd "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/full"`, which is
unnecessary after ensuring that other tests don't change their
working directory outside of a sub-shell.
- Changing any Git invocations which want to be in a sub-directory by
either (a) adding a "-C $DIR" argument, or (b) moving the whole test
into a sub-shell.
While we're here, remove any explicit "git config core.commitGraph true"
invocations which were designed to enable use of the commit-graph. These
are unnecessary following 31b1de6a09 (commit-graph: turn on

The `graph_git_behavior()` helper asserts that a number of common Git
operations (such as `git log --oneline`, `git log --topo-order`, etc.)
produce identical output regardless of whether or not a commit-graph is
in use.
This helper takes as its second argument the location (relative to the
`$TRASH_DIRECTORY`) of the Git repostiory under test. In order to run
each of its commands within that repository, it first changes into that
directory, without the use of a sub-shell.
This pollutes future tests which expect to be run in the top-level
`$TRASH_DIRECTORY` as usual. We could wrap `graph_git_behavior()` in a
sub-shell, like:
graph_git_behavior() {
# ...
(
cd "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/$DIR" &&
graph_git_two_modesl
)
}
, but since we're invoking git directly, we can pass along a "-C $DIR"
when "$DIR" is non-empty.
Note, however, that until the remaining callers are cleaned up to avoid
changing working directories outside of a sub-shell, that we need to
ensure that we are operating in the top-level $TRASH_DIRECTORY. The
inner-subshell will go away in a future commit once it is no longer
necessary.

The `graph_read_expect()` function is used to ensure that the output of
the "read-graph" test helper matches certain parameters (e.g., how many
commits are in the graph, which chunks were written, etc.).
It expects the Git repository being tested to be at the current working
directory. However, a handful of t5318 tests use different repositories
stored in sub-directories. To work around this, several tests in t5318
change into the relevant repository outside of a sub-shell, altering the
context for the rest of the suite.
Prepare to remove these globally-scoped directory changes by teaching
`graph_read_expect()` to take an optional "-C dir" to specify where the
repository containing the commit-graph being tested is.

Before the todo list is edited it is rewritten to shorten the OIDs of
the commits being picked and to append advice about editing the list.
The exact advice depends on whether the todo list is being edited for
the first time or not. After the todo list has been edited it is
rewritten to lengthen the OIDs of the commits being picked and to remove
the advice. If the edited list cannot be parsed then this last step is
skipped.
Prior to db81e50724 (rebase-interactive: use todo_list_write_to_file()
in edit_todo_list(), 2019-03-05) if the existing todo list could not be
parsed then the initial rewrite was skipped as well. This had the
unfortunate consequence that if the list could not be parsed after the
initial edit the advice given to the user was wrong when they re-edited
the list. This change relied on todo_list_parse_insn_buffer() returning
the whole todo list even when it cannot be parsed. Unfortunately if the
list starts with a "fixup" command then it will be truncated and the
remaining lines are lost. Fix this by continuing to parse after an
initial "fixup" commit as we do when we see any other invalid line.

The "git branch -f" command can refuse to force-update a branch that
is used by another worktree. The original rationale for this
behaviour was that updating a branch that is checked out in another
worktree, without making a matching change to the index and the
working tree files in that worktree, will lead to a very confused
user. "git diff HEAD" will no longer give a useful patch, because
HEAD is a commit unrelated to what the index and the working tree in
the worktree were based on, for example.
These days, the same mechanism also protects branches that are being
rebased or bisected, and the same machanism is expected to be the
right place to add more checks, when we decide to protect branches
undergoing other kinds of operations. We however forgot to rethink
the messaging, which originally said that we are refusing to touch
the branch because it is "checked out" elsewhere, when d2ba271a
(branch: check for bisects and rebases, 2022-06-14) started to
protect branches that are being rebased or bisected.
The spirit of the check has always been that we do not want to
disrupt the use of the same branch in other worktrees. Let's reword
the message slightly to say that the branch is "used by" another
worktree, instead of "checked out".
We could teach the branch.c:prepare_checked_out_branches() function
to remember why it decided that a particular branch needs protecting
(i.e. was it because it was checked out? being bisected? something
else?) in addition to which worktree the branch was in use, and use
that in the error message to say "you cannot force update this
branch because it is being bisected in the worktree X", etc., but it
is dubious that such extra complexity is worth it. The message
already tells which directory the worktree in question is, and it
should be just a "chdir" away for the user to find out what state it
is in, if the user felt curious enough. So let's not go there yet.

The --contents option can be used with git blame to blame the file
as if it had the contents from the specified file. Since 1a3119ed

the --contents option can work with non-HEAD commit. However, if you

error:
fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree
This is because before trying to generate a fake working tree
commit, we always call setup_work_tree(). But in a bare repo,
working tree is not available. The call to setup_work_tree is used
to prepare the reading of the blamed file in the working tree, which
isn't necessary if we are reading the contents from the specific
file instead of the file in the working tree.
Add a check in setup_scoreboard to skip setup_work_tree if we are
reading from the file specified in --contents.
This enables us to use --contents in a bare repo. This is a nice

"git show-branch --no-topo-order" behaved exactly the same way as

because we choose between topo- and date- by setting a variable to
either REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER or REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE with
OPT_SET_INT() and REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER happens to be 0. The
OPT_SET_INT() macro assigns 0 to the target variable in respose to
the negated form of its option.
"--no-date-order" by luck behaves identically to "--topo-order"
exactly for the same reason, and it sort-of makes sense right now,
but the "sort-of makes sense" will quickly break down once we add a
third way to sort. Not-A may be B when there are only two choices
between A and B, but once your choices become among A, B, and C,
not-A does not mean B.

The parse-options API responds to "git cmd -h" by listing the option
flag (padded to the USAGE_OPTS_WIDTH column), followed by USAGE_GAP
(set to 2) whitespaces, followed by the help text. If the flags
part does not fit within the USAGE_OPTS_WIDTH, the help text is given
on its own line. Imagine that "@" below depicts the USAGE_OPTS_WIDTH'th
column, and "#" are for the usage help text, the output may look
like this:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ########################################
-f description of the flag '-f' comes here
--short=<num> description of the flag '--short'
--very-long-option=<number>
description of the flag '--very-long-option'
This is all good and nice in principle, but it becomes awkward when
the flags part is just one column over the limit and forces a line
break. See the description of the "--almost" option below:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ########################################

--short=<num> description of the flag '--short'
--almost=<num>
description of the flag '--almost'
--very-long-option=<number>
description of the flag '--very-long-option'
If we allow shrinking the gap to a single whitespace only in such a
case, we would instead get:

--short=<num> description of the flag '--short'
--almost=<num> description of the flag '--almost'
