The "struct object" type implements basic object
polymorphism. Individual instances are allocated as
concrete types (or as a union type that can store any
object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real
type after examining its "type" enum. This means it is
dangerous to have a type field that does not match the
allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob"
to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the
allocated memory).
In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first
thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its
type field by passing it to create_object. However, the
virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever
get their type set. This does not seem to have caused
problems in practice, though (presumably because we always
pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at
the type).
We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future
code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the
object allocation functions.
This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit
index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by
alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object
with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index
number.

Hashmap entries are typically looked up by just a key. The hashmap_get()
API expects an initialized entry structure instead, to support compound
keys. This flexibility is currently only needed by find_dir_entry() in
name-hash.c (and compat/win32/fscache.c in the msysgit fork). All other
(currently five) call sites of hashmap_get() have to set up a near emtpy
entry structure, resulting in duplicate code like this:
struct hashmap_entry keyentry;
hashmap_entry_init(&keyentry, hash(key));
return hashmap_get(map, &keyentry, key);

When stripping a suffix like:

we can instead use strip_suffix to avoid the constant 3,
which must match the literal "foo" (we sometimes use
strlen("foo") instead, but that means we are repeating
ourselves). The example above becomes:
if (strip_suffix(str, "foo", &len))
buf = xmemdupz(str, len);
This also saves a strlen(), since we calculate the string
length when detecting the suffix.
Note that in some cases we also switch from xstrndup to
xmemdupz, which saves a further strlen call.

It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with strlen, like:
if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
foo += strlen("bar");
This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the

typo in one of the strings).

A submodule diff generally has content like:
-Subproject commit [0-9a-f]{40}
+Subproject commit [0-9a-f]{40}
When we are using "git apply --index" with a submodule, we
first apply the textual diff, and then parse that result to
figure out the new sha1.
If the diff has bogus input like:
-Subproject commit 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
+bogus
we will parse the "bogus" portion. Our parser assumes that
the buffer starts with "Subproject commit", and blindly
skips past it using strlen(). This can cause us to read
random memory after the buffer.
This problem was unlikely to have come up in practice (since
it requires a malformed diff), and even when it did, we
likely noticed the problem anyway as the next operation was
to call get_sha1_hex on the random memory.
However, we can easily fix it by using skip_prefix to notice
the parsing error.

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);

Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.
For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.
This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

Like the callsites in the previous commit, logmsg_reencode
already falls back to read_sha1_file when necessary.
However, I split its conversion out into its own commit
because it's a bit more complex.
We return either:
1. The original commit->buffer
2. A newly allocated buffer from read_sha1_file
3. A reencoded buffer (based on either 1 or 2 above).
while trying to do as few extra reads/allocations as
possible. Callers currently free the result with
logmsg_free, but we can simplify this by pointing them
straight to unuse_commit_buffer. This is a slight layering
violation, in that we may be passing a buffer from (3).
However, since the end result is to free() anything except
(1), which is unlikely to change, and because this makes the
interface much simpler, it's a reasonable bending of the
rules.

This converts two lines into one at each caller. But more
importantly, it abstracts the concept of freeing the buffer,
which will make it easier to change later.
Note that we also need to provide a "detach" mechanism for a
tricky case in index-pack. We are passed a buffer for the
object generated by processing the incoming pack. If we are
not using --strict, we just calculate the sha1 on that
buffer and return, leaving the caller to free it. But if we
are using --strict, we actually attach that buffer to an
object, pass the object to the fsck functions, and then
detach the buffer from the object again (so that the caller
can free it as usual). In this case, we don't want to free
the buffer ourselves, but just make sure it is no longer
associated with the commit.
Note that we are making the assumption here that the
attach/detach process does not impact the buffer at all
(e.g., it is never reallocated or modified). That holds true
now, and we have no plans to change that. However, as we
abstract the commit_buffer code, this dependency becomes
less obvious. So when we detach, let's also make sure that
we get back the same buffer that we gave to the
commit_buffer code.

In both blame and merge-recursive, we sometimes create a
"fake" commit struct for convenience (e.g., to represent the
HEAD state as if we would commit it). By allocating
ourselves rather than using alloc_commit_node, we do not
properly set the "index" field of the commit. This can
produce subtle bugs if we then use commit-slab on the
resulting commit, as we will share the "0" index with
another commit.
We can fix this by using alloc_commit_node() to allocate.
Note that we cannot free the result, as it is part of our
commit allocator. However, both cases were already leaking
the allocated commit anyway, so there's nothing to fix up.

While strbufs are pretty common throughout our code, it is
more flexible for functions to take a pointer/len pair than
a strbuf. It's easy to turn a strbuf into such a pair (by
dereferencing its members), but less easy to go the other
way (you can strbuf_attach, but that has implications about
memory ownership).
This patch teaches commit_tree (and its associated callers
and sub-functions) to take such a pair for the commit
message rather than a strbuf. This makes passing the buffer
around slightly more verbose, but means we can get rid of
some dangerous strbuf_attach calls in the next patch.

We previously needed to pass --no-write-bitmap-index
explicitly to pack-objects to override its reading of
pack.writebitmaps from the config. Now that it no longer
does so, we can assume that bitmaps are off by default, and
only turn them on when necessary. This also lets us avoid a
confusing tri-state flag for write_bitmaps.

The handling of the pack.writebitmaps config option
originally happened in pack-objects, which is quite
low-level. It would make more sense for drivers of
pack-objects to read the config, and then manipulate
pack-objects with command-line options.
Recently, repack learned to do so, making the low-level read
of pack.writebitmaps redundant here. Other callers, like
upload-pack, would not generally want to write bitmaps
anyway.
This could be considered a regression for somebody who is
driving pack-objects themselves outside of repack and
expects the config option to be used. However, such users
seem rather unlikely given how new the bitmap code is (and
the fact that they would basically be reimplementing repack
in the first place).
Note that we do not do anything with pack.writeBitmapHashCache
here. That option is not about "do we write bimaps", but
rather "when we are writing bitmaps, how do we do it?". You
would want that to kick in anytime you decide to write them,
similar to how pack.indexVersion is used.

The config option to turn on bitmaps is read all the way
down in the plumbing of pack-objects. This makes it hard for
other options in the porcelain of repack to make decisions
based on the bitmap setting. For example,
repack.packKeptObjects tries to kick in by default only when
bitmaps are turned on. But it can't do so reliably because
it doesn't yet know whether we are using bitmaps.
This patch teaches repack to respect pack.writebitmaps. It
means we pass a redundant command-line flag to pack-objects,
but that's OK; it shouldn't affect the outcome.

Commit ee34a2b (repack: add `repack.packKeptObjects` config
var, 2014-03-03) added a flag which could duplicate kept
objects, but did not mean to turn it on by default. Instead,
the option is tied by default to the decision to write
bitmaps, like:
if (pack_kept_objects < 0)
pack_kept_objects = write_bitmap;
after which we expect pack_kept_objects to be a boolean 0 or
1. However, that assignment neglects that write_bitmap is
_also_ a tri-state with "-1" as the default, and with
neither option given, we accidentally turn the option on.
This patch is the minimal fix to restore the desired
behavior for the default state. Further patches will fix the
more complicated cases.
Note the update to t7700. It failed to turn on bitmaps,
meaning we were actually confirming the wrong behavior!

Patch id changes if users reorder file diffs that make up a patch.
As the result is functionally equivalent, a different patch id is
surprising to many users.
In particular, reordering files using diff -O is helpful to make patches
more readable (e.g. API header diff before implementation diff).
Add an option to change patch-id behaviour making it stable against
these kinds of patch change:
calculate SHA1 hash for each hunk separately and sum all hashes
(using a symmetrical sum) to get patch id
We use a 20byte sum and not xor - since xor would give 0 output
for patches that have two identical diffs, which isn't all that
unlikely (e.g. append the same line in two places).
The new behaviour is enabled
- when patchid.stable is true
- when --stable flag is present
Using a new flag --unstable or setting patchid.stable to false force
the historical behaviour.
In the documentation, clarify that patch ID can now be a sum of hashes,
not a hash.
Document how command line and config options affect the
behaviour.

of time was spent deleting those refs since for each deleted ref,
repack_without_refs() was called to rewrite packed-refs without just

To avoid this, call repack_without_refs() first to repack without all

pathnames to the pager.
We currently do this chdir manually, but we can ask
run_command to do it for us. This is fewer lines of code,
and as a bonus, the chdir is limited to the child process,
which avoids any unexpected surprises for code running after
the pager (there isn't any currently, but this is
future-proofing).

Right now we pass off the string found by "--date" straight
to the fmt_ident function, which will use our strict
parse_date to normalize it. However, this means obvious
things like "--date=now" or "--date=2.days.ago" will not
work.
Instead, let's fallback to the approxidate function to
handle this for us. Note that we must try parse_date
ourselves first, even though approxidate will try strict
parsing itself. The reason is that approxidate throws away
any timezone information it sees from the strict parsing,
and we want to preserve it. So asking for:
git commit --date="@1234567890 -0700"
continues to set the date in -0700, regardless of what the
local timezone is.

When we make a commit and the author is not the same as the
committer (e.g., because you used "-c $commit" or
"--author=$somebody"), we print the author's name and email
in both the commit-message template and as part of the
commit summary. This is a safety check to give the user a
chance to confirm that we are doing what they expect.
This patch brings the same safety for the "date" field,
which may be set by "-c" or by using "--date". Note that we
explicitly do not set it for $GIT_AUTHOR_DATE, as it is
probably not of interest when "git commit" is being fed its
parameters by a script.

Instead of string-wise comparing the author/committer lines
with their timestamps truncated, we can use split_ident_line
and ident_cmp. These functions are more robust than our
ad-hoc parsing, though in practice it should not matter, as
we just generated these ident lines ourselves.
However, this will also allow us easy access to the

The previous implementation used a single sorted linear list of blame
entries for organizing all partial or completed work. Every subtask had
to scan the whole list, with most entries not being relevant to the
task. The resulting run-time was quadratic to the number of separate
chunks.
This change gives every subtask its own data to work with. Subtasks are
organized into "struct origin" chains hanging off particular commits.
Commits are organized into a priority queue, processing them in commit
date order in order to keep most of the work affecting a particular blob
collated even in the presence of an extensive merge history.
For large files with a diversified history, a speedup by a factor of 3

When we pick another commit's message, we die() immediately
if we find that it's empty and we are not going to run an
editor (i.e., when running "-C" instead of "-c"). However,
this check is redundant and harmful.
It's redundant because we will already notice the empty
message later, after we would have run the editor, and die
there (just as we would for a regular, not "-C" case, where
the user provided an empty message in the editor).
It's harmful for a few reasons:
1. It does not respect --allow-empty-message. As a result,
a "git rebase -i" cannot "pick" such a commit. So you
cannot even go back in time to fix it with a "reword"
or "edit" instruction.
2. It does not take into account other ways besides the
editor to modify the message. For example, "git commit
-C empty-commit -m foo" could take the author
information from empty-commit, but add a message to it.
There's more to do to make that work correctly (and
right now we explicitly forbid "-C with -m"), but this
removes one roadblock.
3. The existing check is not enough to prevent segfaults.
We try to find the "\n\n" header/body boundary in the
commit. If it is at the end of the string (i.e., no
body), _or_ if we cannot find it at all (i.e., a
truncated commit object), we consider the message
empty. With "-C", that's OK; we die in either case. But
with "-c", we continue on, and in the case of a
truncated commit may end up dereferencing NULL+2.

Command `git blame --date relative` aligns the date field with a
fixed-width (defined by blame_date_width), and if time_str is shorter
than that, it adds spaces for padding. But there are two bugs in the
following codes:
time_len = strlen(time_str);
...
memset(time_buf + time_len, ' ', blame_date_width - time_len);
1. The type of blame_date_width is size_t, which is unsigned. If
time_len is greater than blame_date_width, the result of
"blame_date_width - time_len" will never be a negative number, but a
really big positive number, and will cause memory overwrite.
This bug can be triggered if either l10n message for function
show_date_relative() in date.c is longer than 30 characters, then
`git blame --date relative` may exit abnormally.
2. When show blame information with relative time, the UTF-8 characters
in time_str will break the alignment of columns after the date field.
This is because the time_buf padding with spaces should have a
constant display width, not a fixed strlen size. So we should call
utf8_strwidth() instead of strlen() for width calibration.

When extract l10n messages, we use "--add-comments" option to keep

irrelevant comments are also extracted. For example in the following
code block, the comment in line 2 will be extracted as comment for the
l10n message in line 3, but obviously it's wrong.
{ OPTION_CALLBACK, 0, "ignore-removal", &addremove_explicit,
NULL /* takes no arguments */,
N_("ignore paths removed in the working tree (same as

PARSE_OPT_NOARG, ignore_removal_cb },
Since almost all comments for l10n translators are marked with the same
prefix (tag): "TRANSLATORS:", it's safe to only extract comments with
this special tag. I.E. it's better to call xgettext as:
xgettext --add-comments=TRANSLATORS: ...

including checking whether it is there, converting it to an SHA-1, and
emitting errors on EOF or for invalid values. The return value
indicates whether the argument was present or absent, which requires
a bit of intelligence because absent values are represented
differently depending on whether "-z" was used.
The new interface means that the calling functions, parse_cmd_*(),
don't have to interpret the result differently based on the

system is not powerful enough to express what we'd like. So remove
the first "const" from the declaration.
On the other hand, the function *can* promise not to modify the

The old parse_arg(), when fed an argument
"refs/heads/a"master
parsed 'refs/heads/a' off of the front of the argument and considered

the *next* argument that a problem was noticed. But in fact, the
definition of the input format requires arguments to be terminated by

should diagnose the problem.
So teach parse_arg() to verify that C-quoted arguments are terminated
correctly. If not, emit a more specific error message.
There is no corresponding error case of a non-C-quoted argument that
is not terminated correctly, because the end of a non-quoted argument
is *by definition* a space or NUL, so there is no way to insert other
junk between the "end" of the argument and the argument terminator.

The previous commit fixed the problem that the staged but that ignored
submodules did not show up in the status output of the commit command and
weren't committed afterwards either. But when commit doesn't generate the
status output (e.g. when used in a script with '-m') the ignored submodule
will still not be committed. This is because in that case a different code
path is taken which calls index_differs_from() instead of calling the
wt_status functions.
Fix that by calling index_differs_from() from builtin/commit.c with a
diff_options argument value that tells it not ignore any submodule changes
unless the '--ignore-submodules' option is used. Even though this option
isn't yet implemented for cmd_commit() but only for cmd_status() this
prepares cmd_commit() to correctly handle the '--ignore-submodules' option
later. As status and commit share the same ignore_submodule_arg variable
this makes the code more robust against accidental breakage and documents
how to correctly call index_differs_from().

When we are sending a packfile to a remote, we currently try
to reuse a whole chunk of packfile without bothering to look
at the individual objects. This can make things like initial
clones much lighter on the server, as we can just dump the
packfile bytes.
However, it's possible that the other side cannot read our
packfile verbatim. For example, we may have objects stored
as OFS_DELTA, but the client is an antique version of git
that only understands REF_DELTA. We negotiate this
capability over the fetch protocol. A normal pack-objects
run will convert OFS_DELTA into REF_DELTA on the fly, but
the "reuse pack" code path never even looks at the objects.
This patch disables packfile reuse if the other side is
missing any capabilities that we might have used in the
on-disk pack. Right now the only one is OFS_DELTA, but we
may need to expand in the future (e.g., if packv4 introduces
new object types).
We could be more thorough and only disable reuse in this
case when we actually have an OFS_DELTA to send, but:
1. We almost always will have one, since we prefer
OFS_DELTA to REF_DELTA when possible. So this case
would almost never come up.
2. Looking through the objects defeats the purpose of the
optimization, which is to do as little work as possible
to get the bytes to the remote.

But yeah, especially if you allow longer delta chains, the end result can

window size, not the delta chain - you could make the delta chains longer

HOWEVER.
The longer delta chains do make it potentially much more expensive to then
use old history. So there's a trade-off. And quite frankly, a delta depth
of 250 is likely going to cause overflows in the delta cache (which is

hash conflicts long before hitting the 250 depth limit).
So when I said "--depth=250 --window=250", I chose those numbers more as
an example of extremely aggressive packing, and I'm not at all sure that
the end result is necessarily wonderfully usable. It's going to save disk
space (and network bandwidth - the delta's will be re-used for the network
protocol too!), but there are definitely downsides too, and using long
delta chains may simply not be worth it in practice.
(And some of it might just want to have git tuning, ie if people think
that long deltas are worth it, we could easily just expand on the delta
hash, at the cost of some more memory used!)
That said, the good news is that working with *new* history will not be
affected negatively, and if you want to be _really_ sneaky, there are ways
to say "create a pack that contains the history up to a version one year
ago, and be very aggressive about those old versions that we still want to
have around, but do a separate pack for newer stuff using less aggressive
parameters"
So this is something that can be tweaked, although we don't really have
any really nice interfaces for stuff like that (ie the git delta cache
size is hardcoded in the sources and cannot be set in the config file, and
the "pack old history more aggressively" involves some manual scripting
and knowing how "git pack-objects" works rather than any nice simple
command line switch).
So the thing to take away from this is:
- git is certainly flexible as hell
- .. but to get the full power you may need to tweak things
- .. happily you really only need to have one person to do the tweaking,
and the tweaked end results will be available to others that do not
need to know/care.
And whether the difference between 320MB and 500MB is worth any really
involved tweaking (considering the potential downsides), I really don't
know. Only testing will tell.

The fuzzy_matchlines() function is used when attempting to resurrect
a patch that is whitespace-damaged, or when applying a patch that
was produced against an old codebase to the codebase after
indentation change.
The patch may want to change a line "a_bc" ("_" is used throught
this description for a whitespace to make it stand out) in the
original into something else, and we may not find "a_bc" in the
current source, but there may be "a__bc" (two spaces instead of one
the whitespace-damaged patch claims to expect). By ignoring the
amount of whitespaces, it forces "git apply" to consider that "a_bc"
in the broken patch meant to refer to "a__bc" in reality.
However, the implementation special cases a run of whitespaces at
the beginning of a line and makes "abc" match "_abc", even though a
whitespace in the middle of string never matches a 0-width gap,
e.g. "a_bc" does not match "abc". A run of whitespace at the end of
one string does not match a 0-width end of line on the other line,
either, e.g. "abc_" does not match "abc".
Fix this inconsistency by making the code skip leading whitespaces
only when both strings begin with a whitespace. This makes the
option mean the same as the option of the same name in "diff" and
"git diff".
Note that I am not sure if anybody sane should use this option in
the first place. The fuzzy match logic may be able to find the
original line that the patch author may have meant to touch because
it does not fully trust what the original lines say (i.e. context
lines prefixed by " " and old lines prefixed by "-" does not have to
exactly match the contents the patch is applied to). There is no
reason for us to trust what the replacement lines (i.e. new lines
prefixed by "+") say, either, but with this option enabled, we end
up copying these new lines with suspicious whitespace distributions
literally into the patched result. But as long as we keep it, we
should make it do its insane thing consistently.

The "--cacheinfo" option is unusual in that it takes three option
parameters. An option with an optional parameter is bad enough. An
option with multiple parameters is simply insane.
Introduce a new syntax that takes these three things concatenated
together with a comma, which makes the command line syntax more
uniform across subcommands, while retaining the traditional syntax
for backward compatiblity.
If we were designing the "update-index" subcommand from scratch
today, it may probably have made sense to make this option (and
possibly others) a command mode option that does not take any option
parameter (hence no need for arg-help). But we do not live in such
an ideal world, and as far as I can tell, the command still supports
(and must support) mixed command modes in a single invocation, e.g.
$ git update-index path1 --add path2 \
--cacheinfo 100644 $(git hash-object --stdin -w <path3) path3 \
path4
must make sure path1 is already in the index and update all of these
four paths. So this is probably as far as we can go to fix this issue
without risking to break people's existing scripts.

The pack bitmap format requires that we have a single bit
for each object in the pack, and that each object's bitmap
represents its complete set of reachable objects. Therefore
we have no way to represent the bitmap of an object which
references objects outside the pack.
We notice this problem while generating the bitmaps, as we
try to find the offset of a particular object and realize
that we do not have it. In this case we die, and neither the
bitmap nor the pack is generated. This is correct, but
perhaps a little unfriendly. If you have bitmaps turned on
in the config, many repacks will fail which would otherwise
succeed. E.g., incremental repacks, repacks with "-l" when
you have alternates, ".keep" files.
Instead, this patch notices early that we are omitting some
objects from the pack and turns off bitmaps (with a
warning). Note that this is not strictly correct, as it's
possible that the object being omitted is not reachable from
any other object in the pack. In practice, this is almost
never the case, and there are two advantages to doing it
this way:
1. The code is much simpler, as we do not have to cleanly
abort the bitmap-generation process midway through.
2. We do not waste time partially generating bitmaps only
to find out that some object deep in the history is not
being packed.

When we are sending a pack for push or fetch, we may reuse a
chunk of packfile without even parsing it. The progress
meter then looks like this:
Reusing existing pack: 3440489, done.
Counting objects: 3, done.
The first line shows that we are reusing a large chunk of
objects, and then we further count any objects not included
in the reused portion with an actual traversal.
These are all implementation details that the user does not
need to care about. Instead, we can show the reused objects
in the normal "counting..." progress meter (which will
simply go much faster than normal), and then continue to add
to it as we traverse.

When the "--all-progress" option is in effect, pack-objects
shows a progress report for the "writing" phase. If the
repository has bitmaps and we are reusing a packfile, the
user sees no progress update until the whole packfile is
sent. Since this is typically the bulk of what is being
written, it can look like git hangs during this phase, even
though the transfer is proceeding.
This generally only happens with "git push" from a
repository with bitmaps. We do not use "--all-progress" for
fetch (since the result is going to index-pack on the
client, which takes care of progress reporting). And for
regular repacks to disk, we do not reuse packfiles.
We already have the progress meter setup during
write_reused_pack; we just need to call display_progress
whiel we are writing out the pack. The progress meter is
attached to our output descriptor, so it automatically
handles the throughput measurements.
However, we need to update the object count as we go, since
that is what feeds the percentage we show. We aren't
actually parsing the packfile as we send it, so we have no
idea how many objects we have sent; we only know that at the
end of N bytes, we will have sent M objects. So we cheat a
little and assume each object is M/N bytes (i.e., the mean
of the objects we are sending). While this isn't strictly
true, it actually produces a more pleasing progress meter
for the user, as it moves smoothly and predictably (and
nobody really cares about the object count; they care about
the percentage, and the object count is a proxy for that).
One alternative would be to actually show two progress
meters: one for the reused pack, and one for the rest of the
objects. That would more closely reflect the data we have
(the first would be measured in bytes, and the second
measured in objects). But it would also be more complex and
annoying to the user; rather than seeing one progress meter
counting up to 100%, they would finish one meter, then start
another one at zero.

enlarges the arrays when we are moving a directory so that we do not

Since we assume that submodule_gitfile has size argc, if any of the

beyond the end of submodule_gitfile.
Fix this by realloc'ing submodule_gitfile at the same time as the other

git-clean uses read_directory to fill in a `struct dir` with
potential hits. However, read_directory does not actually
check against our pathspec. It uses a simplified version
that may turn up false positives. As a result, we need to
check that any hits match our pathspec. We do so reliably
for non-directories. For directories, if "-d" is not given
we check that the pathspec matched exactly (i.e., we are
even stricter, and require an explicit "git clean foo" to
clean "foo/"). But if "-d" is given, rather than relaxing
the exact match to allow a recursive match, we do not check
the pathspec at all.
This regression was introduced in 113f10f (Make git-clean a
