Ignoring a merge can be read as ignoring the changes a merge commit
introduces altogether, as if the entire side branch the merge commit
merged was removed from the history. But that is not what happens
if "-p" is not specified. What happens is that the individual
commits a merge commit introduces are replayed in order, and only
any possible merge conflict resolutions or manual amendments to the
merge commit are ignored.
Get this straight in the docs.
Also, do not say that merge commits are *tried* to be recreated. As that is
true almost everywhere it is better left unsaid.

The expected call sequence is for the caller to use match_pathspec()
repeatedly on a set of pathspecs, accumulating the "hits" in a
separate array, and then call this function to diagnose a pathspec
that never matched anything, as that can indicate a typo from the
command line, e.g. "git commit Maekfile".
Many builtin commands use this function from builtin/ls-files.c,
which is not a very healthy arrangement. ls-files might have been
the first command to feel the need for such a helper, but the need
is shared by everybody who uses the "match and then report" pattern.
Move it to dir.c where match_pathspec() is defined.

The split index extension uses ewah bitmaps to mark index entries as
deleted, instead of removing them from the index directly. This can
result in an on-disk index, in which entries of stage #0 and higher
stages appear, which are removed later when the index bases are merged.
15999d0 read_index_from(): catch out of order entries when reading an
index file introduces a check which checks if the entries are in order
after each index entry is read in do_read_index. This check may however
fail when a split index is read.
Fix this by moving checking the index after we know there is no split
index or after the split index bases are successfully merged instead.

When we delete a ref, we have to rewrite the entire
packed-refs file. We take this opportunity to "curate" the
packed-refs file and drop any entries that are crufty or
broken.
Dropping broken entries (e.g., with bogus names, or ones
that point to missing objects) is actively a bad idea, as it
means that we lose any notion that the data was there in the
first place. Aside from the general hackiness that we might
lose any information about ref "foo" while deleting an
unrelated ref "bar", this may seriously hamper any attempts
by the user at recovering from the corruption in "foo".
They will lose the sha1 and name of "foo"; the exact pointer
may still be useful even if they recover missing objects
from a different copy of the repository. But worse, once the
ref is gone, there is no trace of the corruption. A
follow-up "git prune" may delete objects, even though it
would otherwise bail when seeing corruption.
We could just drop the "broken" bits from
curate_packed_refs, and continue to drop the "crufty" bits:
refs whose loose counterpart exists in the filesystem. This
is not wrong to do, and it does have the advantage that we
may write out a slightly smaller packed-refs file. But it
has two disadvantages:
1. It is a potential source of races or mistakes with
respect to these refs that are otherwise unrelated to
the operation. To my knowledge, there aren't any active
problems in this area, but it seems like an unnecessary
risk.
2. We have to spend time looking up the matching loose
refs for every item in the packed-refs file. If you
have a large number of packed refs that do not change,
that outweighs the benefit from writing out a smaller
packed-refs file (it doesn't get smaller, and you do a
bunch of directory traversal to find that out).

If we are repacking with "-ad", we will drop any unreachable
objects. Likewise, using "-Ad --unpack-unreachable=<time>"
will drop any old, unreachable objects. In these cases, we
want to make sure the reachability we compute with "--all"
is complete. We can do this by passing GIT_REF_PARANOIA=1 in
the environment to pack-objects.
Note that "-Ad" is safe already, because it only loosens
unreachable objects. It is up to "git prune" to avoid
deleting them.

Prune should know about broken objects at the tips of refs,
so that we can feed them to our traversal rather than
ignoring them. It's better for us to abort the operation on
the broken object than it is to start deleting objects with
an incomplete view of the reachability namespace.
Note that for missing objects, aborting is the best we can
do. For a badly-named ref, we technically could use its sha1
as a reachability tip. However, the iteration code just
feeds us a null sha1, so there would be a reasonable amount
of code involved to pass down our wishes. It's not really
worth trying to do better, because this is a case that
should happen extremely rarely, and the message we provide:
fatal: unable to parse object: refs/heads/bogus:name
is probably enough to point the user in the right direction.

Most operations that iterate over refs are happy to ignore
broken cruft. However, some operations should be performed
with knowledge of these broken refs, because it is better
for the operation to choke on a missing object than it is to
silently pretend that the ref did not exist (e.g., if we are
computing the set of reachable tips in order to prune
objects).
These processes could just call for_each_rawref, except that
ref iteration is often hidden behind other interfaces. For
instance, for a destructive "repack -ad", we would have to
inform "pack-objects" that we are destructive, and then it
would in turn have to tell the revision code that our
"--all" should include broken refs.
It's much simpler to just set a global for "dangerous"
operations that includes broken refs in all iterations.

When we are doing a destructive operation like "git prune",
we want to be extra careful that the set of reachable tips
we compute is valid. If there is any corruption or oddity,
we are better off aborting the operation and letting the
user figure things out rather than plowing ahead and
possibly deleting some data that cannot be recovered.
The tests here include:
1. Pruning objects mentioned only be refs with invalid
names. This used to abort prior to d0f810f (refs.c:
allow listing and deleting badly named refs,
2014-09-03), but since then we silently ignore the tip.
Likewise, we test repacking that can drop objects
(either "-ad", which drops anything unreachable,
or "-Ad --unpack-unreachable=<time>", which tries to
optimize out a loose object write that would be
directly pruned).
2. Pruning objects when some refs point to missing
objects. We don't know whether any dangling objects
would have been reachable from the missing objects. We
are better to keep them around, as they are better than
nothing for helping the user recover history.
3. Packed refs that point to missing objects can sometimes
be dropped. By itself, this is more of an annoyance
(you do not have the object anyway; even if you can
recover it from elsewhere, all you are losing is a
placeholder for your state at the time of corruption).
But coupled with (2), if we drop the ref and then go
on to prune, we may lose unrecoverable objects.
Note that we use test_might_fail for some of the operations.
In some cases, it would be appropriate to abort the
operation, and in others, it might be acceptable to continue
but taking the information into account. The tests don't
care either way, and check only for data loss.

In everything_local(), we used to assign the current ref's value
found in ref->old_sha1 to ref->new_sha1 when we already have all the
necessary objects to complete the history leading to that
commit. This copying was broken at 49bb805e (Do not ask for
objects known to be complete., 2005-10-19) and ever since we
instead stuffed a random bytes in ref->new_sha1 here. No
code complained or failed due to this breakage.
It turns out that no code path that comes after this
assignment even looks at ref->new_sha1 at all.
- The only caller of everything_local(), do_fetch_pack(),
returns this list of refs, whose element has bogus
new_sha1 values, to its caller. It does not look at the
elements itself, but does pass them to find_common, which
looks only at the name and old_sha1 fields.
- The only caller of do_fetch_pack(), fetch_pack(), returns this
list to its caller. It does not look at the elements nor act on
them.
- One of the two callers of fetch_pack() is cmd_fetch_pack(), the
top-level that implements "git fetch-pack". The only thing it
looks at in the elements of the returned ref list is the old_sha1
and name fields.
- The other caller of fetch_pack() is fetch_refs_via_pack() in the
transport layer, which is a helper that implements "git fetch".
It only cares about whether the returned list is empty (i.e.
failed to fetch anything).
Just drop the bogus assignment, that is not even necessary. The
remote-tracking refs are updated based on a different list and not
using the ref list being manipulated by this code path; the caller
do_fetch_pack() created a copy of that real ref list and passed the
copy down to this function, and modifying the elements here does not
affect anything.

When fetch_refs_via_pack calls fetch_pack(), we pass a
list of refs to fetch, and the function returns either a
copy of that list, with the fetched items filled in, or
NULL. We check the return value to see whether the fetch was
successful, but do not otherwise look at the copy, and
simply leak it at the end of the function.
