When a submodule diff should be displayed we currently just add the
submodule objects to the main object store and then e.g. walk the
revision graph and create a summary for that submodule.
It is possible that we are missing the submodule either completely or
partially, which we currently differentiate with different error messages
depending on whether (1) the whole submodule object store is missing or
(2) just the needed for this particular diff. (1) is reported as
"not initialized", and (2) is reported as "commits not present".
If a submodule is deinit'ed its repository data is still around inside
the superproject, such that the diff can still be produced. In that way
the error message (1) is misleading as we can have a diff despite the
submodule being not initialized.
Downgrade the error message (1) to be the same as (2) and just say
the commits are not present, as that is the true reason why the diff
cannot be shown.

Some tools like IDEs or fancy editors may periodically run
commands like "git status" in the background to keep track
of the state of the repository. Some of these commands may
refresh the index and write out the result in an
opportunistic way: if they can get the index lock, then they
update the on-disk index with any updates they find. And if
not, then their in-core refresh is lost and just has to be
recomputed by the next caller.
But taking the index lock may conflict with other operations
in the repository. Especially ones that the user is doing
themselves, which _aren't_ opportunistic. In other words,
"git status" knows how to back off when somebody else is
holding the lock, but other commands don't know that status
would be happy to drop the lock if somebody else wanted it.
There are a couple possible solutions:
1. Have some kind of "pseudo-lock" that allows other
commands to tell status that they want the lock.
This is likely to be complicated and error-prone to
implement (and maybe even impossible with just
dotlocks to work from, as it requires some
inter-process communication).
2. Avoid background runs of commands like "git status"
that want to do opportunistic updates, preferring
instead plumbing like diff-files, etc.
This is awkward for a couple of reasons. One is that
"status --porcelain" reports a lot more about the
repository state than is available from individual
plumbing commands. And two is that we actually _do_
want to see the refreshed index. We just don't want to
take a lock or write out the result. Whereas commands
like diff-files expect us to refresh the index
separately and write it to disk so that they can depend
on the result. But that write is exactly what we're
trying to avoid.
3. Ask "status" not to lock or write the index.
This is easy to implement. The big downside is that any
work done in refreshing the index for such a call is
lost when the process exits. So a background process
may end up re-hashing a changed file multiple times
until the user runs a command that does an index
refresh themselves.
This patch implements the option 3. The idea (and the test)
is largely stolen from a Git for Windows patch by Johannes
Schindelin, 67e5ce7f63 (status: offer *not* to lock the
index and update it, 2016-08-12). The twist here is that
instead of making this an option to "git status", it becomes
a "git" option and matching environment variable.
The reason there is two-fold:
1. An environment variable is carried through to
sub-processes. And whether an invocation is a
background process or not should apply to the whole
process tree. So you could do "git --no-optional-locks
foo", and if "foo" is a script or alias that calls
"status", you'll still get the effect.
2. There may be other programs that want the same
treatment.
I've punted here on finding more callers to convert,
since "status" is the obvious one to call as a repeated
background job. But "git diff"'s opportunistic refresh
of the index may be a good candidate.
The test is taken from 67e5ce7f63, and it's worth repeating
Johannes's explanation:
Note that the regression test added in this commit does
not *really* verify that no index.lock file was written;
that test is not possible in a portable way. Instead, we
verify that .git/index is rewritten *only* when `git
status` is run without `--no-optional-locks`.

submodule.<name>.update can be assigned an arbitrary command via setting
it to "!command". When this command is found in the regular config, Git
ought to just run that command instead of other update mechanisms.
However if that command is just found in the .gitmodules file, it is
potentially untrusted, which is why we do not run it. Add a test

When creating a new branch B by copying the branch A that happens to
be the current branch, it also updates HEAD to point at the new
branch. It probably was made this way because "git branch -c A B"
piggybacked its implementation on "git branch -m A B",
This does not match the usual expectation. If I were sitting on a
blue chair, and somebody comes and repaints it to red, I would
accept ending up sitting on a chair that is now red (I am also OK to
stand, instead, as there no longer is my favourite blue chair). But
if somebody creates a new red chair, modelling it after the blue
chair I am sitting on, I do not expect to be booted off of the blue
chair and ending up on sitting on the new red one.
Let's fix this before it hits 'next'. Those who want to create a
new branch and switch to it can do "git checkout B" after doing a
"git branch -c B", and if that operation is so useful and deserves a
short-hand way to do so, perhaps extend "git checkout -b B" to copy
configurations while creating the new branch B.

The handle_command() function matches an incoming command
string with a sequence of starts_with() checks. But it also
surrounds these with a switch on the first character of the
command, which lets us jump to the right block of
starts_with() without going linearly through the list.
However, each case arm of the switch falls through to the
one below it. This is pointless (we know that a command
starting with 'b' does not need to check any of the commands
in the 'c' block), and it makes gcc's -Wimplicit-fallthrough
complain.
We could solve this by adding a break at the end of each
block. However, this optimization isn't helping anything.
Even if it does make matching faster (which is debatable),
this is code that is run only in the test suite, and each
run receives at most two of these "commands". We should
favor simplicity and readability over micro-optimizing.
Instead, let's drop the switch statement completely and
replace it with an if/else cascade.

Commit dc944b65f1 (get_sha1_with_context: dynamically
allocate oc->path, 2017-05-19) changed the rules that
callers must follow for seeing if we parsed a path in the
object name. The rules switched from "check if the oc.path
buffer is empty" to "check if the oc.path pointer is NULL".
But that commit forgot to update some sites in
cat_one_file(), meaning we might dereference a NULL pointer.
You can see this by making a path-aware request like
--textconv without specifying --path, and giving an object
name that doesn't have a path in it. Like:
git cat-file --textconv HEAD
which will reliably segfault.

When run with the "-C" option, fast-export writes 'C' commands in its
output whenever the internal diff mechanism detects a file copy,
indicating that fast-import should copy the given existing file to the
given new filename. However, the diff mechanism works against the
prior version of the file, whereas fast-import uses whatever is current.
This causes issues when a commit both modifies a file and uses it as the
source for a copy.
Therefore, teach fast-export to refrain from writing 'C' when it has
already written a modification command for a file.
An existing test in t9350-fast-export is also fixed in this patch. The
existing line "C file6 file7" copies the wrong version of file6, but it
has coincidentally worked because file7 was subsequently overridden.

Since commit 2d893df rev-parse will scan forward from the beginning of
the option string looking for a flag character. If there are no flag
characters then the scan will spill over into the help text and will
interpret the characters preceding the "flag" as part of the option-spec
i.e. the long option name.
For example, the following option spec:
exclame this does something!
will produce this 'set' expression when --exclame is specified:
set -- --exclame this does something --
which will be interpreted as four separate parameters by the shell. And
will produce a help string that looks like:
--exclame this does something
this does something!
git-rebase.sh has such an option (--autosquash), and so will add extra
parameters to the 'set' expression when --autosquash is used.
git-rebase continues to work correctly though because when it parses the
arguments, it ignores ones that it does not recognize.
Also, rev-parse --parseopt does not currently interpret a tab character
as a delimiter between the option spec and the help text. If a tab is
used at the end of the option spec, before the help text, and before a
space has been specified, then rev-parse will interpret the tab as part
of the preceding component (either the long name or the arg hint).
For example, the following option spec (note: there is a <tab> between
"frotz" and "enable"):
frotz enable frotzing
will produce this 'set' expression when --frotz is specified:
set -- --frotz enable --
which will be interpreted as 2 separate arguments by the shell.
git-rebase.sh has one of these too (--keep-empty). In this case the tab
is immediately followed by spaces so there are no additional parameters
produced on the command line. The only side-effect is misalignment in
the help text.
