It can be helpful when creating a new branch to use the existing
tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is
currently not a method to automatically do so.
Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the
"--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the
tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch
point, if set.
For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run
`git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature"
will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far
ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin.
This is particularly useful when creating branches across many
submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with
a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to
manually set tracking info for each submodule.
Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as
another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track"
without an argument still works as well).
Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this
is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

The "checkout" command is one of the main sources of leaks in the test
suite, let's fix the common ones by not leaking from the "struct
branch_info".
Doing this is rather straightforward, albeit verbose, we need to
xstrdup() constant strings going into the struct, and free() the ones
we clobber as we go along.
This also means that we can delete previous partial leak fixes in this
area, i.e. the "path_to_free" accounting added by 96ec7b1e70 (Convert
resolve_ref+xstrdup to new resolve_refdup function, 2011-12-13).
There was some discussion about whether "we should retain the "const
char *" here and cast at free() time, or have it be a "char *". Since
this is not a public API with any sort of API boundary let's use
"char *", as is already being done for the "refname" member of the
same struct.
The tests to mark as passing were found with:
rm .prove; GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t0027 prove -j8 --state=save t[0-9]*.sh :: --immediate
# apply & compile this change
prove -j8 --state=failed :: --immediate
I.e. the ones that were newly passing when the --state=failed command
was run. I left out "t3040-subprojects-basic.sh" and
"t4131-apply-fake-ancestor.sh" to to optimization-level related
differences similar to the ones noted in[1], except that these would
be something the current 'linux-leaks' job would run into.

Traditionally, unpack_trees_options->reset was used to signal that it
was okay to delete any untracked files in the way. This was used by
`git read-tree --reset`, but then started appearing in other places as
well. However, many of the other uses should not be deleting untracked
files in the way. Change this value to an enum so that a value of 1
(i.e. "true") can be split into two:
UNPACK_RESET_PROTECT_UNTRACKED,
UNPACK_RESET_OVERWRITE_UNTRACKED
In order to catch accidental misuses (i.e. where folks call it the way
they traditionally used to), define the special enum value of
UNPACK_RESET_INVALID = 1
which will trigger a BUG().
Modify existing callers so that
read-tree --reset
reset --hard
checkout --force
continue using the UNPACK_RESET_OVERWRITE_UNTRACKED logic, while other
callers, including
am
checkout without --force
stash (though currently dead code; reset always had a value of 0)
numerous callers from rebase/sequencer to reset_head()
will use the new UNPACK_RESET_PROTECT_UNTRACKED value.
Also, note that it has been reported that 'git checkout <treeish>
<pathspec>' currently also allows overwriting untracked files[1]. That
case should also be fixed, but it does not use unpack_trees() and thus
is outside the scope of the current changes.

Currently, every caller of unpack_trees() that wants to ensure ignored
files are overwritten by default needs to:
* allocate unpack_trees_options.dir
* flip the DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag in unpack_trees_options.dir->flags
* call setup_standard_excludes
AND then after the call to unpack_trees() needs to
* call dir_clear()
* deallocate unpack_trees_options.dir
That's a fair amount of boilerplate, and every caller uses identical
code. Make this easier by instead introducing a new boolean value where
the default value (0) does what we want so that new callers of
unpack_trees() automatically get the appropriate behavior. And move all
the handling of unpack_trees_options.dir into unpack_trees() itself.
While preserve_ignored = 0 is the behavior we feel is the appropriate
default, we defer fixing commands to use the appropriate default until a
later commit. So, this commit introduces several locations where we
manually set preserve_ignored=1. This makes it clear where code paths
were previously preserving ignored files when they should not have been;
a future commit will flip these to instead use a value of 0 to get the
behavior we want.

Previous changes did the necessary improvements to unpack-trees.c and
diff-lib.c in order to modify a sparse index based on its comparision
with a tree. The only remaining work is to remove some
ensure_full_index() calls and add tests that verify that the index is
not expanded in our interesting cases. Include 'switch' and 'restore' in
these tests, as they share a base implementation with 'checkout'.
Here are the relevant performance results from
p2000-sparse-operations.sh:
Test HEAD~1 HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000.18: git checkout -f - (full-v3) 0.49(0.43+0.03) 0.47(0.39+0.05) -4.1%
2000.19: git checkout -f - (full-v4) 0.45(0.37+0.06) 0.42(0.37+0.05) -6.7%
2000.20: git checkout -f - (sparse-v3) 0.76(0.71+0.07) 0.04(0.03+0.04) -94.7%
2000.21: git checkout -f - (sparse-v4) 0.75(0.72+0.04) 0.05(0.06+0.04) -93.3%
It is important to compare the full index case to the sparse index case,
as the previous results for the sparse index were inflated by the index
expansion. For index v4, this is an 88% improvement.
On an internal repository with over two million paths at HEAD and a
sparse-checkout definition containing ~60,000 of those paths, 'git
checkout' went from 3.5s to 297ms with this change. The theoretical
optimum where only those ~60,000 paths exist was 275ms, so the extra
sparse directory entries contribute a 22ms overhead.

Up until recently, object IDs did not have an algorithm member, only a
hash. Consequently, it was possible to share one null (all-zeros)
object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be
handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make
sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field.
Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo.
Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to
use the null_oid constant.

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.

"git status" has trouble showing where it came from by interpreting
reflog entries that recordcertain events, e.g. "checkout @{u}", and
gives a hard/fatal error. Even though it inherently is impossible
to give a correct answer because the reflog entries lose some
information (e.g. "@{u}" does not record what branch the user was
on hence which branch 'the upstream' needs to be computed, and even
if the record were available, the relationship between branches may
have changed), at least hide the error to allow "status" show its
output.
* jt/interpret-branch-name-fallback:
wt-status: tolerate dangling marks
refs: move dwim_ref() to header file
sha1-name: replace unsigned int with option struct
When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch
not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this:
git clone $URL client
cd client
git checkout @{u}
git status
no status is printed, but instead an error message:
fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch
(This error message when running "git branch" persists even after
checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.)
This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD
detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't
work because HEAD no longer points to a branch.
Therefore, when calculating the status of a worktree, tolerate dangling
marks. This is done by adding an additional parameter to
dwim_ref() and repo_dwim_ref().

"git restore/checkout --no-overlay" with wildcarded pathspec

submodule--helper: use strbuf_release() to free strbufs
clear_pattern_list(): clear embedded hashmaps
The pathspec given to git checkout and git restore is used with both
tree_entry_interesting (via read_tree_recursive) and match_pathspec
(via ce_path_match). The latter effectively only supports recursive
matching regardless of the value of the pathspec flag "recursive",
which is unset here.
That causes different match results for pathspecs with wildcards, and
can lead checkout and restore in no-overlay mode to remove entries
instead of modifying them. Enable recursive matching for both checkout
and restore to make matching consistent.
Setting the flag in checkout_main() technically also affects git switch,
but since that command doesn't accept pathspecs at all this has no
actual consequence.

When we call init_checkout_metadata in reset_tree, we want to pass the
object ID of the commit in question so that it can be passed to filters,
or if there is no commit, the tree. We anticipated this latter case,
which can occur elsewhere in the checkout code, but it cannot occur
here. The only case in which we do not have a commit object is when
invoking git switch with --orphan. Moreover, we can only hit this code
path without a commit object additionally with either --force or
--discard-changes.
In such a case, there is no point initializing the checkout metadata
with a commit or tree because (a) there is no commit, only the empty
tree, and (b) we will never use the data, since no files will be smudged
when checking out a branch with no files. Pass the all-zeros object ID
in this case, since we just need some value which is a valid pointer.

"git restore --staged --worktree" now defaults to take the contents
out of "HEAD", instead of erring out.
* es/restore-staged-from-head-by-default:
restore: default to HEAD when combining --staged and --worktree
In error messages that "git switch" mentions its option to create a
new branch, "-b/-B" options were shown, where "-c/-C" options
should be, which has been corrected.
* dl/switch-c-option-in-error-message:
switch: fix errors and comments related to -c and -C
By default, files are restored from the index for --worktree, and from
HEAD for --staged. When --worktree and --staged are combined, --source
must be specified to disambiguate the restore source[1], thus making it
cumbersome to restore a file in both the worktree and the index.
However, HEAD is also a reasonable default for --worktree when combined
with --staged, so make it the default anytime --staged is used (whether
combined with --worktree or not).
[1]: Due to an oversight, the --source requirement, though documented,
is not actually enforced.

In d787d311db (checkout: split part of it to new command 'switch',
2019-03-29), the `git switch` command was created by extracting the
common functionality of cmd_checkout() in checkout_main(). However, in
b7b5fce270 (switch: better names for -b and -B, 2019-03-29), the branch
creation and force creation options for 'switch' were changed to -c and
-C, respectively. As a result of this, error messages and comments that
previously referred to `-b` and `-B` became invalid for `git switch`.
For error messages that refer to `-b` and `-B`, use a format string
instead so that `-c` and `-C` can be printed when `git switch` is
invoked.

In the codebase, there are many options which use OPTION_CALLBACK in a
plain ol' struct definition. However, we have the OPT_CALLBACK and
OPT_CALLBACK_F macros which are meant to abstract these plain struct
definitions away. These macros are useful as they semantically signal to
developers that these are just normal callback option with nothing fancy
happening.
Replace plain struct definitions of OPTION_CALLBACK with OPT_CALLBACK or
OPT_CALLBACK_F where applicable. The heavy lifting was done using the
following (disgusting) shell script:
#!/bin/sh
do_replacement () {
tr '\n' '\r' |
sed -e 's/{\s*OPTION_CALLBACK,\s*\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\([^,]*\),\s*0,\(\s*[^[:space:]}]*\)\s*}/OPT_CALLBACK(\1,\2,\3,\4,\5,\6)/g' |

tr '\r' '\n'
}
for f in $(git ls-files \*.c)
do
do_replacement <"$f" >"$f.tmp"
mv "$f.tmp" "$f"
done
The result was manually inspected and then reformatted to match the
style of the surrounding code. Finally, using
`git grep OPTION_CALLBACK \*.c`, leftover results which were not handled
by the script were manually transformed.

Now that we have the codebase wired up to pass any additional metadata
to filters, let's collect the additional metadata that we'd like to
pass.
The two main places we pass this metadata are checkouts and archives.
In these two situations, reading HEAD isn't a valid option, since HEAD
isn't updated for checkouts until after the working tree is written and
archives can accept an arbitrary tree. In other situations, HEAD will
usually reflect the refname of the branch in current use.
We pass a smaller amount of data in other cases, such as git cat-file,
where we can really only logically know about the blob.
This commit updates only the parts of the checkout code where we don't
use unpack_trees. That function and callers of it will be handled in a
future commit.
In the archive code, we leak a small amount of memory, since nothing we
pass in the archiver argument structure is freed.

"git checkout X" did not correctly fail when X is not a local

(i.e. to be dwimmed as the starting point to create a corresponding
local branch), which has been corrected.

"git restore --staged" did not correctly update the cache-tree

has been corrected.
* nd/switch-and-restore:
restore: invalidate cache-tree when removing entries with --staged
When "git restore --staged <path>" removes a path that's in the index,
it marks the entry with CE_REMOVE, but we don't do anything to
invalidate the cache-tree. In the non-staged case, we end up in
checkout_worktree(), which calls remove_marked_cache_entries(). That
actually drops the entries from the index, as well as invalidating the
cache-tree and untracked-cache.
But with --staged, we never call checkout_worktree(), and the CE_REMOVE
entries remain. Interestingly, they are dropped when we write out the
index, but that means the resulting index is inconsistent: its
cache-tree will not match the actual entries, and running "git commit"
immediately after will create the wrong tree.
We can solve this by calling remove_marked_cache_entries() ourselves
before writing out the index. Note that we can't just hoist it out of
checkout_worktree(); that function needs to iterate over the CE_REMOVE
entries (to drop their matching worktree files) before removing them.
One curiosity about the test: without this patch, it actually triggers a
BUG() when running git-restore:
BUG: cache-tree.c:810: new1 with flags 0x4420000 should not be in cache-tree
But in the original problem report, which used a similar recipe,
git-restore actually creates the bogus index (and the commit is created
with the wrong tree). I'm not sure why the test here behaves differently
than my out-of-suite reproduction, but what's here should catch either
symptom (and the fix corrects both cases).

For easier understanding, here are the existing good scenarios:
1) Have *no* file 'foo', *no* local branch 'foo' and a *single*
remote branch 'foo'
2) `git checkout foo` will create local branch foo, see [1]
and
1) Have *a* file 'foo', *no* local branch 'foo' and a *single*
remote branch 'foo'
2) `git checkout foo` will complain, see [3]
This patch prevents the following scenario:
1) Have *a* file 'foo', *no* local branch 'foo' and *multiple*
remote branches 'foo'
2) `git checkout foo` will successfully... revert contents of
file `foo`!
That is, adding another remote suddenly changes behavior significantly,
which is a surprise at best and could go unnoticed by user at worst.
Please see [3] which gives some real world complaints.
To my understanding, fix in [3] overlooked the case of multiple remotes,
and the whole behavior of falling back to reverting file was never
intended:
[1] introduces the unexpected behavior. Before, there was fallback
from not-a-ref to pathspec. This is reasonable fallback. After, there
is another fallback from ambiguous-remote to pathspec. I understand
that it was a copy&paste oversight.
[2] noticed the unexpected behavior but chose to semi-document it
instead of forbidding, because the goal of the patch series was
focused on something else.
[3] adds `die()` when there is ambiguity between branch and file. The
case of multiple tracking branches is seemingly overlooked.
The new behavior: if there is no local branch and multiple remote
candidates, just die() and don't try reverting file whether it
exists (prevents surprise) or not (improves error message).

Decisions taken for simplicity:
1) For now, `--pathspec-from-file` is declared incompatible with
`--patch`, even when <file> is not `stdin`. Such use case it not
really expected.
2) It is not allowed to pass pathspec in both args and file.
`you must specify path(s) to restore` block was moved down to be able to
test for `pathspec.nr` instead, because testing for `argc` is no longer
correct.
`git switch` does not support the new options because it doesn't expect
`<pathspec>` arguments.

The 'git switch' command was created to separate half of the
behavior of 'git checkout'. It specifically has the mode to
do nothing with the index and working directory if the user
only specifies to create a new branch and change HEAD to that
branch. This is also the behavior most users expect from
'git checkout -b', but for historical reasons it also performs
an index update by scanning the working directory. This can be
slow for even moderately-sized repos.
A performance fix for 'git checkout -b' was introduced by
fa655d8411 (checkout: optimize "git checkout -b <new_branch>"
2018-08-16). That change includes details about the config
setting checkout.optimizeNewBranch when the sparse-checkout
feature is required. The way this change detected if this
behavior change is safe was through the skip_merge_working_tree()
method. This method was complex and needed to be updated
as new options were introduced.
This behavior was essentially reverted by 65f099b ("switch:
no worktree status unless real branch switch happens"
2019-03-29). Instead, two members of the checkout_opts struct
were used to distinguish between 'git checkout' and 'git switch':
* switch_branch_doing_nothing_is_ok
* only_merge_on_switching_branches
These settings have opposite values depending on if we start
in cmd_checkout or cmd_switch.
The message for 64f099b includes "Users of big repos are
encouraged to move to switch." Making this change while
'git switch' is still experimental is too aggressive.
Create a happy medium between these two options by making
'git checkout -b <branch>' behave just like 'git switch',
but only if we read exactly those arguments. This must
be done in cmd_checkout to avoid the arguments being
consumed by the option parsing logic.
This differs from the previous change by fa644d8 in that
the config option checkout.optimizeNewBranch remains
deleted. This means that 'git checkout -b' will ignore
the index merge even if we have a sparse-checkout file.
While this is a behavior change for 'git checkout -b',
it matches the behavior of 'git switch -c'.

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()

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

When running 'git checkout -m' and using diff3 style conflict markers,
we want all the conflict hunks (left-side, "common" or "merge base", and
right-side) to have label markers letting the user know where each came
from. The "common" hunk label (o.ancestor) came from
old_branch_info->name, but that is NULL when HEAD is detached, which
resulted in a blank label. Check for that case and provide an
abbreviated commit hash instead.
(Incidentally, this was the only case in the git codebase where
merge_trees() was called with opt->ancestor being NULL. A subsequent

It is possible to delete a committed file from the index and then add it
as intent-to-add. After `git checkout HEAD <pathspec>`, the file should
be identical in the index and HEAD. The command already works correctly
if the file has contents in HEAD. This patch provides the desired
behavior even when the file is empty in HEAD.
`git checkout HEAD <pathspec>` calls tree.c:read_tree_1(), with fn
pointing to checkout.c:update_some(). update_some() creates a new cache
entry but discards it when its mode and oid match those of the old
entry. A cache entry for an ita file and a cache entry for an empty file
have the same oid. Therefore, an empty deleted ita file previously
passed both of these checks, and the new entry was discarded, so the
file remained unchanged in the index. After this fix, if the file is
marked as ita in the cache, then we avoid discarding the new entry and
add the new entry to the cache instead.
This change should not affect newly added ita files. For those, inside
tree.c:read_tree_1(), tree_entry_interesting() returns
entry_not_interesting, so fn is never called.

In c45f0f525d (switch: reject if some operation is in progress,

is in progress. The reason is it's often not safe to do so.
This is true for merge, am, rebase, cherry-pick and revert, but not so
much for bisect because bisecting is basically jumping/switching between
a bunch of commits to pin point the first bad one. git-bisect suggests
the next commit to test, but it's not wrong for the user to test a
different commit because git-bisect cannot have the knowledge to know
better.
For this reason, allow to switch when bisecting (*). I considered if we
should still prevent switching by default and allow it with
--ignore-in-progress. But I don't think the prevention really adds
anything much.
If the user switches away by mistake, since we print the previous HEAD
value, even if they don't know about the "-" shortcut, switching back is
still possible.
The warning will be printed on every switch while bisect is still
ongoing, not the first time you switch away from bisect's suggested
commit, so it could become a bit annoying.
(*) of course when it's safe to do so, i.e. no loss of local changes and

Use a more specific option name to express its purpose. --force may come
back as an alias of --ignore-unmerged and possibly more. But since this
is a destructive operation, I don't see why we need to "force" anything
more. We already don't hold back.
When 'checkout --force' or 'restore --ignore-unmerged' is used, we may
also print warnings about unmerged entries being ignore. Since this is
not exactly warning (people tell us to do so), more informational, let
it be suppressed if --quiet is given. This is a behavior change for
git-checkout.
PS. The diff looks a bit iffy since --force is moved to
add_common_switch_branch_options() (i.e. for switching). But
git-checkout is also doing switching and inherits this --force.

'git checkout <tree-ish> <pathspec>' updates both index and
worktree. But updating the index when you want to restore worktree
files is non-intuitive. The index contains the data ready for the next
commit, and there's no indication that the user will want to commit
the restored versions.
'git restore' therefore by default only touches worktree. The user has
the option to update either the index with
git restore --staged --source=<tree> <path> (1)
or update both with
git restore --staged --worktree --source=<tree> <path> (2)
PS. Orignally I wanted to make worktree update default and form (1)
would add index update while also updating the worktree, and the user
would need to do "--staged --no-worktree" to update index only. But it
looks really confusing that "--staged" option alone updates both. So
now form (2) is used for both, which reads much more obvious.
PPS. Yes form (1) overlaps with "git reset <rev> <path>". I don't know
if we can ever turn "git reset" back to "_always_ reset HEAD and
optionally do something else".

Neither is intuitive. Make the user always give pathspec, force the

"git restore -p" without pathspec is an exception to this
because it really is a separate mode. It will be treated as running

This is another departure from 'git checkout' syntax, which uses -- to
separate ref and pathspec. The observation is restore (or "git
checkout -- <pathspec>") is most often used to restore some files from
the index. If this is correct, we can simplify it by taking away the
ref, so that we can write
git restore some-file
without worrying about some-file being a ref and whether we need to do
git restore -- some-file
for safety. If the source of the restore comes from a tree, it will be
in the form of an option with value, e.g.
git restore --source=this-tree some-file
This is of course longer to type than using "--". But hopefully it
will not be used as often, and it is clearly easier to understand.
dwim_new_local_branch is no longer set (or unset) in cmd_restore_files()
because it's irrelevant because we don't really care about dwim-ing.
With accept_ref being unset, dwim can't happen.

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.

"git checkout -m <other>" was about carrying the differences
between HEAD and the working-tree files forward while checking out
another branch, and ignored the differences between HEAD and the
index. The command has been taught to abort when the index and the
HEAD are different.

Switching and creating branches always involves knowing the
<start-point> to begin the new branch from. Sometimes, people want to
create a new branch that does not have any commits yet; --orphan is a
flag to allow that.
--orphan overrides the default of HEAD for <start-point> instead causing
us to start from an empty history with all tracked files removed from
the index and working tree. The use of --orphan is incompatible with
specifying a <start-point>.
A note on the implementation. An alternative is just create a dummy
commit in-core with empty tree and switch to it. But there's a chance
the commit's SHA-1 may end up somewhere permanent like reflog. It's best
to make sure "commit" pointer is NULL to avoid it.

Unless you know what you're doing, switching to another branch to do
something then switching back could be confusing. Worse, you may even
forget that you're in the middle of something. By the time you realize,
you may have done a ton of work and it gets harder to go back.
A new option --ignore-in-progress was considered but dropped because it
was not exactly clear what should happen. Sometimes you can switch away
and get back safely and resume the operation. Sometimes not. And the
git-checkout behavior is automatically clear merge/revert/cherry-pick,
which makes it a bit even more confusing [1].
We may revisit and add this option in the future. But for now play it
safe and not allow it (you can't even skip this check with --force). The
user is suggested to cancel the operation by themselves (and hopefully
they do consider the consequences, not blindly type the command), or to
create a separate worktree instead of switching. The third option is
the good old "git checkout", but it's not mentioned.

When we switch from one branch to another, it makes sense to show a
summary of local changes since there could be conflicts, or some files
left modified.... When switch is used solely for creating a new
branch (and "switch" to the same commit) or detaching, we don't really
need to show anything.
"git checkout" does it anyway for historical reasons. But we can start
with a clean slate with switch and don't have to.
This essentially reverts fa655d8411 (checkout: optimize "git checkout
-b <new_branch>" - 2018-08-16) and make it default for switch,
but also for -B and --detach. Users of big repos are encouraged to

This is already the default in git-checkout. The real change in here is
just minor cleanup. The main excuse is to explain why dwim is kept default.
Contrary to detach mode that is easy to get into and confusing to get
back out. Automatically creating a tracking branch often does not kick
in as often (you would need a branch of the same name on a remote). And
since the branch creation is reported clearly, the user should be able
to undo/delete it if it's unwanted.

"git checkout <commit>" will checkout the commit in question and
detach HEAD from the current branch. It is naturally a right thing to
do once you get git references. But detached HEAD is a scary concept
to new users because we show a lot of warnings and stuff, and it could
be hard to get out of (until you know better).
To keep switch a bit more friendly to new users, we only allow
entering detached HEAD mode when --detach is given. "git
switch" must take a branch (unless you create a new branch,
then of course switch can take any commit-ish)

"git checkout" can be executed without any arguments. What it does is

Make switch reject this case. Just use "git status" if you want

- really switch a branch
- (explicitly) detach from the current branch

After a successful switch, if a merge, cherry-pick or revert is ongoing,
it is canceled. This behavior has been with us from the very early
beginning, soon after git-merge was created but never actually
documented [1]. It may be a good idea to be transparent and tell the
user if some operation is canceled.
I consider this a better way of telling the user than just adding a
sentence or two in git-checkout.txt, which will be mostly ignored
anyway.
PS. Originally I wanted to print more details like
warning: cancelling an in-progress merge from <SHA-1>
which may allow some level of undo if the user wants to. But that seems
a lot more work. Perhaps it can be improved later if people still want
that.
[1] ... and I will try not to argue whether it is a sensible behavior.

When --merge is specified, we may need to do a real merge (instead of
three-way tree unpacking), the steps are best seen in git-checkout.sh
version before it's removed:
# Match the index to the working tree, and do a three-way.
git diff-files --name-only | git update-index --remove --stdin &&
work=`git write-tree` &&
git read-tree $v --reset -u $new || exit
git merge-recursive $old -- $new $work
# Do not register the cleanly merged paths in the index yet.
# this is not a real merge before committing, but just carrying
# the working tree changes along.
unmerged=`git ls-files -u`
git read-tree $v --reset $new
case "$unmerged" in
'') ;;
*)
(
z40=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
echo "$unmerged" |
sed -e 's/^[0-7]* [0-9a-f]* /'"0 $z40 /"
echo "$unmerged"
) | git update-index --index-info
;;
esac
Notice the last 'read-tree --reset' step. We restore worktree back to
'new' tree after worktree's messed up by merge-recursive. If there are
staged changes before this whole command sequence is executed, they
are lost because they are unlikely part of the 'new' tree to be
restored.
There is no easy way to fix this. Elijah may have something up his
sleeves [1], but until then, check if there are staged changes and
refuse to run and lose them. The user would need to do "git reset" to
continue in this case.
A note about the test update. 'checkout -m' in that test will fail
because a deletion is staged. This 'checkout -m' was previously needed
to verify quietness behavior of unpack-trees. But a different check
has been put in place in the last patch. We can safely drop
'checkout -m' now.

If you have staged changes in path A and perform 'checkout
--merge' (which could result in conflicts in a totally unrelated path
B), changes in A will be gone. Which is unexpected. We are supposed
to keep all changes, or kick and scream otherwise.
This is the result of how --merge is implemented, from the very first
day in 1be0659efc (checkout: merge local modifications while switching
branches., 2006-01-12):
1. a merge is done, unmerged entries are collected
2. a hard switch to a new branch is done, then unmerged entries added
back
There is no trivial fix for this. Going with 3-way merge one file at a
time loses rename detection. Going with 3-way merge by trees requires
teaching the algorithm to pick up staged changes. And even if we detect
staged changes with --merge and abort for safety, an option to continue
--merge is very weird. Such an option would keep worktree changes, but
drop staged changes.
Because the problem has been with us since the introduction of --merge
and everybody has been pretty happy (except Phillip, who found this
problem), I'll just take a note here to acknowledge it and wait for
merge wizards to come in and work their magic. There may be a way
forward [1].

Currently 'git checkout' is defined as an overlay operation, which
means that if in 'git checkout <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' we have an
entry in the index that matches <pathspec>, but that doesn't exist in
<tree-ish>, that entry will not be removed from the index or the
working tree.
Introduce a new --{,no-}overlay option, which allows using 'git
checkout' in non-overlay mode, thus removing files from the working
tree if they do not exist in <tree-ish> but match <pathspec>.
Note that 'git checkout -p <tree-ish> -- [<pathspec>]' already works
this way, so no changes are needed for the patch mode. We disallow
'git checkout --overlay -p' to avoid confusing users who would expect
to be able to force overlay mode in 'git checkout -p' this way.
Untracked files are not affected by this change, so 'git checkout
--no-overlay HEAD -- untracked' will not remove untracked from the
working tree. This is so e.g. 'git checkout --no-overlay HEAD -- dir/'
doesn't delete all untracked files in dir/, but rather just resets the
state of files that are known to git.

One of the problems with "git checkout" is that it does so many
different things and could confuse people specially when we fail to
handle ambiguation correctly.
One way to help with that is tell the user what sort of operation is
actually carried out. When switching branches, we always print
something unless --quiet, either
- "HEAD is now at ..."
- "Reset branch ..."
- "Already on ..."
- "Switched to and reset ..."
- "Switched to a new branch ..."
- "Switched to branch ..."
Checking out paths however is silent. Print something so that if we
got the user intention wrong, they won't waste too much time to find
that out. For the remaining cases of checkout we now print either
- "Checked out ... paths out of the index"
- "Checked out ... paths out of <abbrev hash>"
Since the purpose of printing this is to help disambiguate. Only do it
when "--" is missing.

When checkout dwim is added in [1], it is restricted to only dwim when
certain conditions are met and fall back to default checkout behavior
otherwise. It turns out falling back could be confusing. One of the
conditions to turn
git checkout frotz
to
git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz
is that frotz must not exist as a file. But when the user comes to
expect "git checkout frotz" to create the branch "frotz" and there
happens to be a file named "frotz", git's silently reverting "frotz"
file content is not helping. This is reported in Git mailing list [2]
and even used as an example of "Git is bad" elsewhere [3].
We normally try to do the right thing, but when there are multiple
"right things" to do, it's best to leave it to the user to decide.
Check this case, ask the user to to disambiguate:
- "git checkout -- foo" will check out path "foo"
- "git checkout foo --" will dwim and create branch "foo" [4]
For users who do not want dwim, use --no-guess. It's useless in this
particular case because "git checkout --no-guess foo --" will just
fail. But it could be used by scripts.

We added faster equality-comparison functions for hashes in
14438c4497 (introduce hasheq() and oideq(), 2018-08-28). A
few topics were in-flight at the time, and can now be
converted. This covers all spots found by "make coccicheck"
in master (the coccicheck results were tweaked by hand for
style).

coccinelle: use <...> for function exclusion
"git checkout -b newbranch [HEAD]" should not have to do as much as
checking out a commit different from HEAD. An attempt is made to
optimize this special case.
* bp/checkout-new-branch-optim:
checkout: optimize "git checkout -b <new_branch>"
Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run,
give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these
callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete
noop with respect to the generated code.
The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it
avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in
C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it
anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double
negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances
here).
This patch was generated almost entirely by the included
coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be
completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where
oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing
under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()"
separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the
two are treated equivalently.
I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output
to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the
original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

Skip merging the commit, updating the index and working directory if and
only if we are creating a new branch via "git checkout -b <new_branch>."
Any other checkout options will still go through the former code path.
If sparse_checkout is on, require the user to manually opt in to this
optimzed behavior by setting the config setting checkout.optimizeNewBranch
to true as we will no longer update the skip-worktree bit in the index, nor
add/remove files in the working directory to reflect the current sparse
checkout settings.
For comparison, running "git checkout -b <new_branch>" on a large repo takes:
14.6 seconds - without this patch
0.3 seconds - with this patch

Many messages will be marked for translation in the following
commits. This commit updates some of them to be more consistent and
reduce diff noise in those commits. Changes are
- keep the first letter of die(), error() and warning() in lowercase
- no full stop in die(), error() or warning() if it's single sentence
messages
- indentation
- some messages are turned to BUG(), or prefixed with "BUG:" and will
not be marked for i18n
- some messages are improved to give more information
- some messages are broken down by sentence to be i18n friendly
(on the same token, combine multiple warning() into one big string)
- the trailing \n is converted to printf_ln if possible, or deleted
if not redundant
- errno_errno() is used instead of explicit strerror()

It has been observed that the time spent loading an index with a large
number of entries is partly dominated by malloc() calls. This change
is in preparation for using memory pools to reduce the number of
malloc() calls made to allocate cahce entries when loading an index.
Add an API to allocate and discard cache entries, abstracting the
details of managing the memory backing the cache entries. This commit
does actually change how memory is managed - this will be done in a
later commit in the series.
This change makes the distinction between cache entries that are
associated with an index and cache entries that are not associated with
an index. A main use of cache entries is with an index, and we can
optimize the memory management around this. We still have other cases
where a cache entry is not persisted with an index, and so we need to
handle the "transient" use case as well.
To keep the congnitive overhead of managing the cache entries, there
will only be a single discard function. This means there must be enough
information kept with the cache entry so that we know how to discard
them.
A summary of the main functions in the API is:
make_cache_entry: create cache entry for use in an index. Uses specified
parameters to populate cache_entry fields.
make_empty_cache_entry: Create an empty cache entry for use in an index.
Returns cache entry with empty fields.
make_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in an
index. Uses specified parameters to populate
cache_entry fields.
make_empty_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in
an index. Returns cache entry with
empty fields.
discard_cache_entry: A single function that knows how to discard a cache
entry regardless of how it was allocated.
