07e7dbf0db gc: default aggressive depth to 50
This commit message is long and has lots of background and
numbers. The summary is: the current default of 250 doesn't
save much space, and costs CPU. It's not a good tradeoff.
Read on for details.

The "--aggressive" flag to git-gc does three things:

  1. use "-f" to throw out existing deltas and recompute from
     scratch

  2. use "--window=250" to look harder for deltas

  3. use "--depth=250" to make longer delta chains

Items (1) and (2) are good matches for an "aggressive"
repack. They ask the repack to do more computation work in
the hopes of getting a better pack. You pay the costs during
the repack, and other operations see only the benefit.

Item (3) is not so clear. Allowing longer chains means fewer
restrictions on the deltas, which means potentially finding
better ones and saving some space. But it also means that
operations which access the deltas have to follow longer
chains, which affects their performance. So it's a tradeoff,
and it's not clear that the tradeoff is even a good one.

The existing "250" numbers for "--aggressive" come
originally from this thread:

  http://public-inbox.org/git/alpine.LFD.0.9999.0712060803430.13796@woody.linux-foundation.org/

where Linus says:

  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.

There are some numbers in that thread, but they're mostly
focused on the improved window size, and measure the
improvement from --depth=250 and --window=250 together.
E.g.:

  http://public-inbox.org/git/9e4733910712062006l651571f3w7f76ce64c6650dff@mail.gmail.com/

talks about the improved run-time of "git-blame", which
comes from the reduced pack size. But most of that reduction
is coming from --window=250, whereas most of the extra costs
come from --depth=250. There's a link in that thread showing
that increasing the depth beyond 50 doesn't seem to help
much with the size:

  https://vcscompare.blogspot.com/2008/06/git-repack-parameters.html

but again, no discussion of the timing impact.

In an earlier thread from Ted Ts'o which discussed setting
the non-aggressive default (from 10 to 50):

  http://public-inbox.org/git/20070509134958.GA21489%40thunk.org/

we have more numbers, with the conclusion that going past 50
does not help size much, and hurts the speed of normal
operations.

So from that, we might guess that 50 is actually a sweet
spot, even for aggressive, if we interpret aggressive to
"spend time now to make a better pack". It is not clear that
"--depth=250" is actually a better pack. It may be slightly
_smaller_, but it carries a run-time penalty.

Here are some more recent timings I did to verify that. They
show three things:

  - the size of the resulting pack (so disk saved to store,
    bandwidth saved on clones/fetches)

  - the cost of "rev-list --objects --all", which shows the
    effect of the delta chains on trees (commits typically
    don't delta, and the command doesn't touch the blobs at
    all)

  - the cost of "log -Sfoo", which will additionally access
    each blob

All cases were repacked with "git repack -adf --depth=$d
--window=250" (so basically, what would happen if we tweaked
the "gc --aggressive" default depth).

The timings are all wall-clock best-of-3. The machine itself
has plenty of RAM compared to the repositories (which is
probably typical of most workstations these days), so we're
really measuring CPU usage, as the whole thing will be in
disk cache after the first run.

The core.deltaBaseCacheLimit is at its default of 96MiB.
It's possible that tweaking it would have some impact on the
tests, as some of them (especially "log -S" on a large repo)
are likely to overflow that. But bumping that carries a
run-time memory cost, so for these tests, I focused on what
we could do just with the on-disk pack tradeoffs.

Each test is done for four depths: 250 (the current value),
50 (the current default that tested well previously), 100
(to show something on the larger side, which previous tests
showed was not a good tradeoff), and 10 (the very old
default, which previous tests showed was worse than 50).

Here are the numbers for linux.git:

   depth |  size |  %    | rev-list |  %     | log -Sfoo |   %
  -------+-------+-------+----------+--------+-----------+-------
    250  | 967MB |  n/a  | 48.159s  |   n/a  | 378.088   |   n/a
    100  | 971MB | +0.4% | 41.471s  | -13.9% | 342.060   |  -9.5%
     50  | 979MB | +1.2% | 37.778s  | -21.6% | 311.040s  | -17.7%
     10  | 1.1GB | +6.6% | 32.518s  | -32.5% | 279.890s  | -25.9%

and for git.git:

   depth |  size |  %    | rev-list |  %     | log -Sfoo |   %
  -------+-------+-------+----------+--------+-----------+-------
    250  |  48MB |  n/a  |  2.215s  |   n/a  |  20.922s  |   n/a
    100  |  49MB | +0.5% |  2.140s  |  -3.4% |  17.736s  | -15.2%
     50  |  49MB | +1.7% |  2.099s  |  -5.2% |  15.418s  | -26.3%
     10  |  53MB | +9.3% |  2.001s  |  -9.7% |  12.677s  | -39.4%

You can see that that the CPU savings for regular operations improves as we
decrease the depth. The savings are less for "rev-list" on a smaller repository
than they are for blob-accessing operations, or even rev-list on a larger
repository. This may mean that a larger delta cache would help (though setting
core.deltaBaseCacheLimit by itself doesn't).

But we can also see that the space savings are not that great as the depth goes
higher. Saving 5-10% between 10 and 50 is probably worth the CPU tradeoff.
Saving 1% to go from 50 to 100, or another 0.5% to go from 100 to 250 is
probably not.

The output of `git status --porcelain` leaves out many

may need to launch secondary commands (and try to match
the logic within git) to accumulate this extra information.
For example, a GUI IDE might want the file mode to display
the correct icon for a changed item (without having to stat

2201ee09b5 submodule--helper: use parallel processor correctly
When developing another patch series I had a temporary state in
which git-clone would segfault, when the call was prepared in
prepare_to_clone_next_submodule. This lead to the call failing,
i.e. in `update_clone_task_finished` the task was scheduled to be
tried again.  The second call to prepare_to_clone_next_submodule
would return 0, as the segfaulted clone did create the .git file
already, such that was not considered to need to be cloned again. I
was seeing the "BUG: ce was a submodule before?\n" message, which
was the correct behavior at the time as my local code was
buggy. When trying to debug this failure, I tried to use printing
messages into the strbuf that is passed around, but these messages
were never printed as the die(..) doesn't flush the `err` strbuf.

When implementing the die() in 665b35ecc (2016-06-09, "submodule--helper:
initial clone learns retry logic"), I considered this condition to be
a severe condition, which should lead to an immediate abort as we do not
trust ourselves any more. However the queued messages in `err` are valuable
so let's not toss them out by immediately dying, but a graceful return.

Another thing to note: The error message itself was misleading. A return
value of 0 doesn't indicate the passed in `ce` is not a submodule any more,
but just that we do not consider cloning it any more.

dc29ddebb9 config.c: avoid duplicated global static variables
Repeating the definition of a static variable seems to be valid in C.
Nevertheless, it is bad style because it can cause confusion, definitely
when it becomes necessary to change the type.

d64ec16 (git config: reorganize to use parseopt, 2009-02-21) added two
static variables near the top of the file config.c without removing the
definitions of the two variables that occurs later in the file.

The two variables were needed earlier in the file in the newly
introduced parseopt structure. These references were removed later in
d0e08d6 (config: fix parsing of "git config --get-color some.key -1",
2014-11-20).

189d035e67 git mv: do not keep slash in git mv dir non-existing-dir/
When calling `rename("dir", "non-existing-dir/")` on Linux, it silently
succeeds, stripping the trailing slash of the second argument.

This is all good and dandy but this behavior disagrees with the specs at

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/rename.html

that state clearly regarding the 2nd parameter (called `new`):

	If the `new` argument does not resolve to an existing directory
	entry for a file of type directory and the `new` argument
	contains at least one non- <slash> character and ends with one
	or more trailing <slash> characters after all symbolic links
	have been processed, `rename()` shall fail.

Of course, we would like `git mv dir non-existing-dir/` to succeed (and
rename the directory "dir" to "non-existing-dir"). Let's be extra
careful to remove the trailing slash in that case.

This lets t7001-mv.sh pass in Bash on Windows.

4d7bc52b17 submodule update: allow '.' for branch value
Gerrit has a "superproject subscription" feature[1], that triggers a
commit in a superproject that is subscribed to its submodules.
Conceptually this Gerrit feature can be done on the client side with
Git via (except for raciness, error handling etc):

  while [ true ]; do
    git -C <superproject> submodule update --remote --force
    git -C <superproject> commit -a -m "Update submodules"
    git -C <superproject> push
  done

for each branch in the superproject. To ease the configuration in Gerrit
a special value of "." has been introduced for the submodule.<name>.branch
to mean the same branch as the superproject[2], such that you can create a
new branch on both superproject and the submodule and this feature
continues to work on that new branch.

Now we find projects in the wild with such a .gitmodules file.
The .gitmodules used in these Gerrit projects do not conform
to Gits understanding of how .gitmodules should look like.
This teaches Git to deal gracefully with this syntax as well.

The redefinition of "." does no harm to existing projects unaware of
this change, as "." is an invalid branch name in Git, so we do not
expect such projects to exist.

This strdup was added as part of 58dbfa2 (blame: accept

parse_opt_string_list(), which appends to the same list.

But as of 7a7a517 (parse_opt_string_list: stop allocating

match parse_opt_string_list, and for all the reasons
described in that commit; namely that it does nothing useful
and causes us to leak the memory).

4d9c7e6f45 am: reset cached ident date for each patch
When we compute the date to go in author/committer lines of
commits, or tagger lines of tags, we get the current date
once and then cache it for the rest of the program.  This is
a good thing in some cases, like "git commit", because it
means we do not racily assign different times to the
author/committer fields of a single commit object.

But as more programs start to make many commits in a single
process (e.g., the recently builtin "git am"), it means that
you'll get long strings of commits with identical committer
timestamps (whereas before, we invoked "git commit" many
times and got true timestamps).

This patch addresses it by letting callers reset the cached
time, which means they'll get a fresh time on their next
call to git_committer_info() or git_author_info(). The first
caller to do so is "git am", which resets the time for each
patch it applies.

It would be nice if we could just do this automatically
before filling in the ident fields of commit and tag
objects. Unfortunately, it's hard to know where a particular
logical operation begins and ends.

For instance, if commit_tree_extended() were to call
reset_ident_date() before getting the committer/author
ident, that doesn't quite work; sometimes the author info is
passed in to us as a parameter, and it may or may not have
come from a previous call to ident_default_date(). So in
those cases, we lose the property that the committer and the
author timestamp always match.

You could similarly put a date-reset at the end of
commit_tree_extended(). That actually works in the current
code base, but it's fragile. It makes the assumption that
after commit_tree_extended() finishes, the caller has no
other operations that would logically want to fall into the
same timestamp.

So instead we provide the tool to easily do the reset, and
let the high-level callers use it to annotate their own
logical operations.

There's no automated test, because it would be inherently
racy (it depends on whether the program takes multiple
seconds to run). But you can see the effect with something
like:

  # make a fake 100-patch series
  top=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
  bottom=$(git rev-list --first-parent -100 HEAD | tail -n 1)
  git log --format=email --reverse --first-parent \
          --binary -m -p $bottom..$top >patch

  # now apply it; this presumably takes multiple seconds
  git checkout --detach $bottom
  git am <patch

  # now count the number of distinct committer times;
  # prior to this patch, there would only be one, but
  # now we'd typically see several.
  git log --format=%ct $bottom.. | sort -u

548009c0d5 merge_trees(): ensure that the callers release output buffer
The recursive merge machinery accumulates its output in an output
buffer, to be flushed at the end of merge_recursive(). At this point,
we forgot to release the output buffer.

When calling merge_trees() (i.e. the non-recursive part of the recursive
merge) directly, the output buffer is never flushed because the caller
may be merge_recursive() which wants to flush the output itself.

For the same reason, merge_trees() cannot release the output buffer: it
may still be needed.

Forgetting to release the output buffer did not matter much when running
git-checkout, or git-merge-recursive, because we exited after the
operation anyway. Ever since cherry-pick learned to pick a commit range,
however, this memory leak had the potential of becoming a problem.

56dfeb6263 pack-objects: compute local/ignore_pack_keep early
In want_object_in_pack(), we can exit early from our loop if
neither "local" nor "ignore_pack_keep" are set. If they are,
however, we must examine each pack to see if it has the
object and is non-local or has a ".keep".

It's quite common for there to be no non-local or .keep
packs at all, in which case we know ahead of time that
looking further will be pointless. We can pre-compute this
by simply iterating over the list of packs ahead of time,
and dropping the flags if there are no packs that could
match.

Another similar strategy would be to modify the loop in
want_object_in_pack() to notice that we have already found
the object once, and that we are looping only to check for
"local" and "keep" attributes. If a pack has neither of
those, we can skip the call to find_pack_entry_one(), which
is the expensive part of the loop.

This has two advantages:

  - it isn't all-or-nothing; we still get some improvement
    when there's a small number of kept or non-local packs,
    and a large number of non-kept local packs

  - it eliminates any possible race where we add new
    non-local or kept packs after our initial scan. In
    practice, I don't think this race matters; we already
    cache the packed_git information, so somebody who adds a
    new pack or .keep file after we've started will not be
    noticed at all, unless we happen to need to call
    reprepare_packed_git() because a lookup fails.

    In other words, we're already racy, and the race is not
    a big deal (losing the race means we might include an
    object in the pack that would not otherwise be, which is
    an acceptable outcome).

However, it also has a disadvantage: we still loop over the
rest of the packs for each object to check their flags. This
is much less expensive than doing the object lookup, but
still not free. So if we wanted to implement that strategy
to cover the non-all-or-nothing cases, we could do so in
addition to this one (so you get the most speedup in the
all-or-nothing case, and the best we can do in the other
cases). But given that the all-or-nothing case is likely the
most common, it is probably not worth the trouble, and we
can revisit this later if evidence points otherwise.

cd37996795 pack-objects: break out of want_object loop early
When pack-objects collects the list of objects to pack
(either from stdin, or via its internal rev-list), it
filters each one through want_object_in_pack().

This function loops through each existing packfile, looking
for the object. When we find it, we mark the pack/offset
combo for later use. However, we can't just return "yes, we
want it" at that point. If --honor-pack-keep is in effect,
we must keep looking to find it in _all_ packs, to make sure
none of them has a .keep. Likewise, if --local is in effect,
we must make sure it is not present in any non-local pack.

As a result, the sum effort of these calls is effectively
O(nr_objects * nr_packs). In an ordinary repository, we have
only a handful of packs, and this doesn't make a big
difference. But in pathological cases, it can slow the
counting phase to a crawl.

This patch notices the case that we have neither "--local"
nor "--honor-pack-keep" in effect and breaks out of the loop
early, after finding the first instance. Note that our worst
case is still "objects * packs" (i.e., we might find each
object in the last pack we look in), but in practice we will
often break out early. On an "average" repo, my git.git with
8 packs, this shows a modest 2% (a few dozen milliseconds)
improvement in the counting-objects phase of "git
pack-objects --all <foo" (hackily instrumented by sticking
exit(0) right after list_objects).

But in a much more pathological case, it makes a bigger
difference. I ran the same command on a real-world example
with ~9 million objects across 1300 packs. The counting time
dropped from 413s to 45s, an improvement of about 89%.

Note that this patch won't do anything by itself for a
normal "git gc", as it uses both --honor-pack-keep and
--local.

3f338f43b0 am -3: use merge_recursive() directly again
Last October, we had to change this code to run `git merge-recursive`
in a child process: git-am wants to print some helpful advice when the
merge failed, but the code in question was not prepared to return, it
die()d instead.

We are finally at a point when the code *is* prepared to return errors,
and can avoid the child process again.

This reverts commit c63d4b2 (am -3: do not let failed merge from
completing the error codepath, 2015-10-09), with the necessary changes
to adjust for the fact that Git's source code changed in the meantime
(such as: using OIDs instead of hashes in the recursive merge, and a
removed gender bias).

Note: the code now calls merge_recursive_generic() again. Unlike
merge_trees() and merge_recursive(), this function returns 0 upon success,
as most of Git's functions. Therefore, the error value -1 naturally is
handled correctly, and we do not have to take care of it specifically.

f241ff0d0a prepare the builtins for a libified merge_recursive()
Previously, callers of merge_trees() or merge_recursive() expected that
code to die() with an error message. This used to be okay because we
called those commands from scripts, and had a chance to print out a
message in case the command failed fatally (read: with exit code 128).

As scripting incurs its own set of problems (portability, speed,
idiosyncrasies of different shells, limited data structures leading to
inefficient code), we are converting more and more of these scripts into
builtins, using library functions directly.

We already tried to use merge_recursive() directly in the builtin
git-am, for example. Unfortunately, we had to roll it back temporarily
because some of the code in merge-recursive.c still deemed it okay to
call die(), when the builtin am code really wanted to print out a useful
advice after the merge failed fatally. In the next commits, we want to
fix that.

The code touched by this commit expected merge_trees() to die() with
some useful message when there is an error condition, but merge_trees()
is going to be improved by converting all die() calls to return error()
instead (i.e. return value -1 after printing out the message as before),
so that the caller can react more flexibly.

This is a step to prepare for the version of merge_trees() that no
longer dies,  even if we just imitate the previous behavior by calling
exit(128): this is what callers of e.g. `git merge` have come to expect.

Note that the callers of the sequencer (revert and cherry-pick) already
fail fast even for the return value -1; The only difference is that they
now get a chance to say "<command> failed".

A caller of merge_trees() might want handle error messages themselves
(or even suppress them). As this patch is already complex enough, we
leave that change for a later patch.

were just appended.

This works nicely except when the second clone attempt fails as well. To
report an error, the identifying index must be adjusted by an offset so
that it can be used as an index into the second list. However, the
calculation uses the logical total length of the lists so that the result
always points one past the end of the second list.

Pick the correct index.

83558686ce receive-pack: send keepalives during quiet periods
After a client has sent us the complete pack, we may spend
some time processing the data and running hooks. If the
client asked us to be quiet, receive-pack won't send any
progress data during the index-pack or connectivity-check
steps. And hooks may or may not produce their own progress
output. In these cases, the network connection is totally
silent from both ends.

Git itself doesn't care about this (it will wait forever),
but other parts of the system (e.g., firewalls,
load-balancers, etc) might hang up the connection. So we'd
like to send some sort of keepalive to let the network and
the client side know that we're still alive and processing.

We can use the same trick we did in 05e9515 (upload-pack:
send keepalive packets during pack computation, 2013-09-08).
Namely, we will send an empty sideband data packet every `N`
seconds that we do not relay any stderr data over the
sideband channel. As with 05e9515, this means that we won't
bother sending keepalives when there's actual progress data,
but will kick in when it has been disabled (or if there is a
lull in the progress data).

The concept is simple, but the details are subtle enough
that they need discussing here.

Before the client sends us the pack, we don't want to do any
keepalives. We'll have sent our ref advertisement, and we're
waiting for them to send us the pack (and tell us that they
support sidebands at all).

While we're receiving the pack from the client (or waiting
for it to start), there's no need for keepalives; it's up to
them to keep the connection active by sending data.
Moreover, it would be wrong for us to do so. When we are the
server in the smart-http protocol, we must treat our
connection as half-duplex. So any keepalives we send while
receiving the pack would potentially be buffered by the
webserver. Not only does this make them useless (since they
would not be delivered in a timely manner), but it could
actually cause a deadlock if we fill up the buffer with
keepalives. (It wouldn't be wrong to send keepalives in this
phase for a full-duplex connection like ssh; it's simply
pointless, as it is the client's responsibility to speak).

As soon as we've gotten all of the pack data, then the
client is waiting for us to speak, and we should start
keepalives immediately. From here until the end of the
connection, we send one any time we are not otherwise
sending data.

But there's a catch. Receive-pack doesn't know the moment
we've gotten all the data. It passes the descriptor to
index-pack, who reads all of the data, and then starts
resolving the deltas. We have to communicate that back.

To make this work, we instruct the sideband muxer to enable
keepalives in three phases:

  1. In the beginning, not at all.

  2. While reading from index-pack, wait for a signal
     indicating end-of-input, and then start them.

  3. Afterwards, always.

The signal from index-pack in phase 2 has to come over the
stderr channel which the muxer is reading. We can't use an
extra pipe because the portable run-command interface only
gives us stderr and stdout.

Stdout is already used to pass the .keep filename back to
receive-pack. We could also send a signal there, but then we
would find out about it in the main thread. And the
keepalive needs to be done by the async muxer thread (since
it's the one writing sideband data back to the client). And
we can't reliably signal the async thread from the main
thread, because the async code sometimes uses threads and
sometimes uses forked processes.

Therefore the signal must come over the stderr channel,
where it may be interspersed with other random
human-readable messages from index-pack. This patch makes
the signal a single NUL byte.  This is easy to parse, should
not appear in any normal stderr output, and we don't have to
worry about any timing issues (like seeing half the signal
bytes in one read(), and half in a subsequent one).

This is a bit ugly, but it's simple to code and should work
reliably.

Another option would be to stop using an async thread for
muxing entirely, and just poll() both stderr and stdout of
index-pack from the main thread. This would work for
index-pack (because we aren't doing anything useful in the
main thread while it runs anyway). But it would make the
connectivity check and the hook muxers much more
complicated, as they need to simultaneously feed the
sub-programs while reading their stderr.

The index-pack phase is the only one that needs this
signaling, so it could simply behave differently than the
other two. That would mean having two separate
implementations of copy_to_sideband (and the keepalive
code), though. And it still doesn't get rid of the
signaling; it just means we can write a nicer message like
"END_OF_INPUT" or something on stdout, since we don't have
to worry about separating it from the stderr cruft.

One final note: this signaling trick is only done with
index-pack, not with unpack-objects. There's no point in
doing it for the latter, because by definition it only kicks
in for a small number of objects, where keepalives are not
as useful (and this conveniently lets us avoid duplicating
the implementation).

d415092ac4 receive-pack: relay connectivity errors to sideband
If the connectivity check encounters a problem when
receiving a push, the error output goes to receive-pack's
stderr, whose destination depends on the protocol used
(ssh tends to send it to the user, though without a "remote"
prefix; http will generally eat it in the server's error
log).

The information should consistently go back to the user, as
there is a reasonable chance their client is buggy and
generating a bad pack.

We can do so by muxing it over the sideband as we do with
other sub-process stderr.

d06303bb9a receive-pack: turn on index-pack resolving progress
When we receive a large push, the server side may have to
spend a lot of CPU processing the incoming packfile.

During the "receiving" phase, we are typically network
bound, and the client is writing its own progress to the
user. But during the delta resolution phase, we may spend
minutes (e.g., for a full push of linux.git) without
making any indication to the user that the connection has
not hung.

Let's ask index-pack to produce progress output for this
phase (unless the client asked us to be quiet, of course).

e376f17fd1 index-pack: add flag for showing delta-resolution progress
The index-pack command has two progress meters: one for
"receiving objects", and one for "resolving deltas". You get
neither by default, or both with "-v".

But for a push through receive-pack, we would want only the
"resolving deltas" phase, _not_ the "receiving objects"
progress. There are two reasons for this.

One is simply that existing clients are already printing
"writing objects" progress at the same time.  Arguably
"receiving" from the far end is more useful, because it
tells you what has actually gotten there, as opposed to what
might be stuck in a buffer somewhere between the client and
server. But that would require a protocol extension to tell
clients not to print their progress. Possible, but
complexity for little gain.

The second reason is much more important. In a full-duplex
connection like git-over-ssh, we can print progress while
the pack is incoming, and it will immediately get to the
client. But for a half-duplex connection like git-over-http,
we should not say anything until we have received the full
request.  Anything we write is subject to being stuck in a
buffer by the webserver.  Worse, we can end up in a deadlock
if that buffer fills up.

So our best bet is to avoid writing anything that isn't a
small fixed size until we've received the full pack.

7043c7071c check_everything_connected: use a struct with named options
The number of variants of check_everything_connected has
grown over the years, so that the "real" function takes
several possibly-zero, possibly-NULL arguments. We hid the
complexity behind some wrapper functions, but this doesn't
scale well when we want to add new options.

If we add more wrapper variants to handle the new options,
then we can get a combinatorial explosion when those options
might be used together (right now nobody wants to use both
"shallow" and "transport" together, so we get by with just a
few wrappers).

If instead we add new parameters to each function, each of
which can have a default value, then callers who want the
defaults end up with confusing invocations like:

  check_everything_connected(fn, 0, data, -1, 0, NULL);

where it is unclear which parameter is which (and every
caller needs updated when we add new options).

Instead, let's add a struct to hold all of the optional
parameters. This is a little more verbose for the callers
(who have to declare the struct and fill it in), but it
makes their code much easier to follow, because every option
is named as it is set (and unused options do not have to be
mentioned at all).

Note that we could also stick the iteration function and its
callback data into the option struct, too. But since those
are required for each call, by avoiding doing so, we can let
very simple callers just pass "NULL" for the options and not
worry about the struct at all.

While we're touching each site, let's also rename the
function to check_connected(). The existing name was quite
long, and not all of the wrappers even used the full name.

434ea3cdad rev-list: add optional progress reporting
It's easy to ask rev-list to do a traversal that may takes
many seconds (e.g., by calling "--objects --all"). In theory
you can monitor its progress by the output you get to
stdout, but this isn't always easy.

Some operations, like "--count", don't make any output until
the end.

And some callers, like check_everything_connected(), are
using it just for the error-checking of the traversal, and
throw away stdout entirely.

This patch adds a "--progress" option which can be used to
give some eye-candy for a user waiting for a long traversal.
This is just a rev-list option and not a regular traversal
option, because it needs cooperation from the callbacks in
builtin/rev-list.c to do the actual count.

90cf590f53 fsck: optionally show more helpful info for broken links

quite helpful at times if the user would be told how the object is

With the new --name-objects option, git-fsck will try to do exactly
that: name the objects in a way that shows how they are reachable.

For example, when some reflog got corrupted and a blob is missing that
should not be, the user might want to remove the corresponding reflog
entry. This option helps them find that entry: `git fsck` will now
report something like this:

However, when blaming a file that is not known to the current HEAD,

Allowing such a blame is useful when the new file added to the index

77a9745d19 push options: {pre,post}-receive hook learns about push options
The environment variable GIT_PUSH_OPTION_COUNT is set to the number of
push options sent, and GIT_PUSH_OPTION_{0,1,..} is set to the transmitted
option.

The code is not executed as the push options are set to NULL, nor is the
new capability advertised.

There was some discussion back and forth how to present these push options
to the user as there are some ways to do it:

Keep all options in one environment variable
============================================
+ easiest way to implement in Git
- This would make things hard to parse correctly in the hook.

Put the options in files instead,
filenames are in GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILES
======================================
+ After a discussion about environment variables and shells, we may not
  want to put user data into an environment variable (see [1] for example).
+ We could transmit binaries, i.e. we're not bound to C strings as
  we are when using environment variables to the user.
+ Maybe easier to parse than constructing environment variable names
  GIT_PUSH_OPTION_{0,1,..} yourself
- cleanup of the temporary files is hard to do reliably
- we have race conditions with multiple clients pushing, hence we'd need
  to use mkstemp. That's not too bad, but still.

Use environment variables, but restrict to key/value pairs
==========================================================
(When the user pushes a push option `foo=bar`, we'd
GIT_PUSH_OPTION_foo=bar)
+ very easy to parse for a simple model of push options
- it's not sufficient for more elaborate models, e.g.
  it doesn't allow doubles (e.g. cc=reviewer@email)

Present the options in different environment variables
======================================================
(This is implemented)
* harder to parse as a user, but we have a sample hook for that.
- doesn't allow binary files
+ allows the same option twice, i.e. is not restrictive about
  options, except for binary files.
+ doesn't clutter a remote directory with (possibly stale)
  temporary files

As we first want to focus on getting simple strings to work
reliably, we go with the last option for now. If we want to
do transmission of binaries later, we can just attach a
'side-channel', e.g. "any push option that contains a '\0' is
put into a file instead of the environment variable and we'd
have new GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILES, GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILENAME_{0,1,..}
environment variables".

ec9d224903 fsck: use streaming interface for large blobs in pack
For blobs, we want to make sure the on-disk data is not corrupted
(i.e. can be inflated and produce the expected SHA-1). Blob content is
opaque, there's nothing else inside to check for.

For really large blobs, we may want to avoid unpacking the entire blob
in memory, just to check whether it produces the same SHA-1. On 32-bit
systems, we may not have enough virtual address space for such memory
allocation. And even on 64-bit where it's not a problem, allocating a
lot more memory could result in kicking other parts of systems to swap
file, generating lots of I/O and slowing everything down.

For this particular operation, not unpacking the blob and letting
check_sha1_signature, which supports streaming interface, do the job
is sufficient. check_sha1_signature() is not shown in the diff,
unfortunately. But if will be called when "data_valid && !data" is
false.

We will call the callback function "fn" with NULL as "data". The only
callback of this function is fsck_obj_buffer(), which does not touch

af92a645d3 pack-objects: do not truncate result in-pack object size on 32-bit systems
A typical diff will not show what's going on and you need to see full
functions. The core code is like this, at the end of of write_one()

	e->idx.offset = *offset;
	size = write_object(f, e, *offset);
	if (!size) {
		e->idx.offset = recursing;
		return WRITE_ONE_BREAK;
	}
	written_list[nr_written++] = &e->idx;

	/* make sure off_t is sufficiently large not to wrap */
	if (signed_add_overflows(*offset, size))
		die("pack too large for current definition of off_t");
	*offset += size;

Here we can see that the in-pack object size is returned by
write_object (or indirectly by write_reuse_object). And it's used to
calculate object offsets, which end up in the pack index file,
generated at the end.

If "size" overflows (on 32-bit sytems, unsigned long is 32-bit while
off_t can be 64-bit), we got wrong offsets and produce incorrect .idx
file, which may make it look like the .pack file is corrupted.

211c61c6cf pack-objects: pass length to check_pack_crc() without truncation
On 32 bit systems with large file support, unsigned long is 32-bit
while the two offsets in the subtraction expression (pack-objects has
the exact same expression as in sha1_file.c but not shown in diff) are
in 64-bit. If an in-pack object is larger than 2^32 len/datalen is
truncated and we get a misleading "error: bad packed object CRC for

Use off_t for len and datalen. check_pack_crc() already accepts this
argument as off_t and can deal with 4+ GB.

715a51bcaf am: counteract gender bias
Since 47f0b6d5 (Fall back to three-way merge when applying a patch.,
2005-10-06), i.e. for almost 11 years already, we used a male form
to describe "the other tree".

While it was unintended, this gave the erroneous impression as if
the Git developers thought of users as male, and were unaware of the
important role in software development played by female actors such
as Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper and Margaret Hamilton. In fact, the
first professional software developers were all female.

Let's change those unfortunate references to the gender neutral
"their tree".  Doing so also makes the fallback_merge_recursive(),
which is an oddball, more in line with the other parts of the system
where we contrast what we have vs what we obtain from others by
saying "ours" vs "theirs".  This inconsistency was also unintended.

We use write_file_gently() to do this job currently.
However, if we see an error, we simply complain via
error_errno() and then end up exiting with an error code.

By switching to the non-gentle form, the function will die
for us, with a better error. It is more specific about which
syscall caused the error, and that mentions the
actual filename we're trying to write.

Our exit code for the error case does switch from "1" to
"128", but that's OK; it wasn't a meaningful documented code
(and in fact it was odd that it was a different exit code
than most other error conditions).

aabbd3f3c9 config: fix bogus fd check when setting up default config
Since 9830534 (config --global --edit: create a template
file if needed, 2014-07-25), an edit of the global config
file will try to open() it with O_EXCL, and wants to handle
three cases:

  1. We succeeded; the user has no config file, and we
     should fill in the default template.

  2. We got EEXIST; they have a file already, proceed as usual.

  3. We got another error; we should complain.

However, the check for case 1 does "if (fd)", which will
generally _always_ be true (except for the oddball case that
somehow our stdin got closed and opening really did give us
a new descriptor 0).

So in the EEXIST case, we tried to write the default config
anyway! Fortunately, this turns out to be a noop, since we
just end up writing to and closing "-1", which does nothing.

But in case 3, we would fail to notice any other errors, and
just silently continue (given that we don't actually notice
write errors for the template either, it's probably not that
big a deal; we're about to spawn the editor, so it would
notice any problems. But the code is clearly _trying_ to hit
cover this case and failing).

We can fix it easily by using "fd >= 0" for case 1.

bc437d1020 fetch: reduce duplicate in ref update status lines with placeholder
In the "remote -> local" line, if either ref is a substring of the
other, the common part in the other string is replaced with "*". For
example

    abc                -> origin/abc
    refs/pull/123/head -> pull/123

become

    abc         -> origin/*
    refs/*/head -> pull/123

Activated with fetch.output=compact.

For the record, this output is not perfect. A single giant ref can
push all refs very far to the right and likely be wrapped around. We
may have a few options:

 - exclude these long lines smarter

 - break the line after "->", exclude it from column width calculation

 - implement a new format, { -> origin/}foo, which makes the problem
   go away at the cost of a bit harder to read

 - reverse all the arrows so we have "* <- looong-ref", again still
   hard to read.

b8e47d1acf grep: fix grepping for "intent to add" files
This reverts commit 4d5520053 (grep: make it clear i-t-a entries are
ignored, 2015-12-27) and adds an alternative fix to maintain the -L
--cached behavior.

4d5520053 caused 'git grep' to no longer find matches in new files in
the working tree where the corresponding index entry had the "intent to
add" bit set, despite the fact that these files are tracked.

The content in the index of a file for which the "intent to add" bit is
set is considered indeterminate and not empty. For most grep queries we
want these to behave the same, however for -L --cached (files without a
match) we don't want to respond positively for "intent to add" files as
their contents are indeterminate. This is in contrast to files with
empty contents in the index (no lines implies no matches for any grep
query expression) which should be reported in the output of a grep -L
--cached invocation.

Add tests to cover this case and a few related cases which previously
lacked coverage.

36a4d905c3 format-patch: use stdout directly
Earlier, we freopen()ed stdout in order to write patches to files.

As we do not abuse stdout that way anymore, we no longer need to

95235f5ba1 format-patch: avoid freopen()
We just taught the relevant functions to respect the diffopt.file field,
to allow writing somewhere else than stdout. Let's make use of it.

Technically, we do not need to avoid that call in a builtin: we assume
that builtins (as opposed to library functions) are stand-alone programs
that may do with their (global) state. Yet, we want to be able to reuse
that code in properly lib-ified code, e.g. when converting scripts into
builtins.

Further, while we did not *have* to touch the cmd_show() and cmd_cherry()
code paths (because they do not want to write anywhere but stdout as of
yet), it just makes sense to be consistent, making it easier and safer to
move the code later.

11f4eb1984 format-patch: explicitly switch off color when writing to files
The --color=auto handling is done by seeing if file descriptor 1
(the standard output) is connected to a terminal.  format-patch
used freopen() to reuse the standard output stream even when sending
its output to an on-disk file, and this check is appropriate.

In the next step, however, we will stop reusing "FILE *stdout", and
instead start using arbitrary file descriptor obtained by doing an
fopen(3) ourselves.  The check --color=auto does will become useless,
as we no longer are writing to the standard output stream.

But then, we do not need to guess to begin with. As argued in the commit
message of 7787570c (format-patch: ignore ui.color, 2011-09-13), we do not
allow the ui.color setting to affect format-patch's output. The only time,
therefore, that we allow color sequences to be written to the output files
is when the user specified the --color=always command-line option explicitly.

6ea57703f6 log: prepare log/log-tree to reuse the diffopt.close_file attribute
We are about to teach the log-tree machinery to reuse the diffopt.file
field to output to a file stream other than stdout, in line with the
diff machinery already writing to diffopt.file.

However, we might want to write something after the diff in
log_tree_commit() (e.g. with the --show-linear-break option), therefore
we must not let the diff machinery close the file (as per
diffopt.close_file.

This means that log_tree_commit() itself must override the
diffopt.close_file flag and close the file, and if log_tree_commit() is
called in a loop, the caller is responsible to do the same.

Note: format-patch has an `--output-directory` option. Due to the fact
that format-patch's options are parsed first, and that the parse-options
machinery accepts uniquely abbreviated options, the diff options
`--output` (and `-o`) are shadowed. Therefore close_file is not set to 1
so that cmd_format_patch() does *not* need to handle the close_file flag
differently, even if it calls log_tree_commit() in a loop.

e26a8c4721 repack: extend --keep-unreachable to loose objects
If you use "repack -adk" currently, we will pack all objects
that are already packed into the new pack, and then drop the
old packs. However, loose unreachable objects will be left
as-is. In theory these are meant to expire eventually with
"git prune". But if you are using "repack -k", you probably
want to keep things forever and therefore do not run "git
prune" at all. Meaning those loose objects may build up over
time and end up fooling any object-count heuristics (such as
the one done by "gc --auto", though since git-gc does not
support "repack -k", this really applies to whatever custom
scripts people might have driving "repack -k").

With this patch, we instead stuff any loose unreachable
objects into the pack along with the already-packed
unreachable objects. This may seem wasteful, but it is
really no more so than using "repack -k" in the first place.
We are at a slight disadvantage, in that we have no useful
ordering for the result, or names to hand to the delta code.
However, this is again no worse than what "repack -k" is
already doing for the packed objects. The packing of these
objects doesn't matter much because they should not be
accessed frequently (unless they actually _do_ become
referenced, but then they would get moved to a different
part of the packfile during the next repack).

905f27b86a repack: add --keep-unreachable option
The usual way to do a full repack (and what is done by
git-gc) is to run "repack -Ad --unpack-unreachable=<when>",
which will loosen any unreachable objects newer than
"<when>", and drop any older ones.

This is a safer alternative to "repack -ad", because
"<when>" becomes a grace period during which we will not
drop any new objects that are about to be referenced.
However, it isn't perfectly safe. It's always possible that
a process is about to reference an old object. Even if that
process were to take care to update the timestamp on the
object, there is no atomicity with a simultaneously running
"repack" process.

So while unlikely, there is a small race wherein we may drop
an object that is in the process of being referenced. If you
do automated repacking on a large number of active
repositories, you may hit it eventually, and the result is a
corrupted repository.

It would be nice to fix that race in the long run, but it's
complicated.  In the meantime, there is a much simpler
strategy for automated repository maintenance: do not drop
objects at all. We already have a "--keep-unreachable"
option in pack-objects; we just need to plumb it through
from git-repack.

Note that this _isn't_ plumbed through from git-gc, so at
this point it's strictly a tool for people doing their own
advanced repository maintenance strategy.

2721ce21e4 use string_list initializer consistently
There are two types of string_lists: those that own the
string memory, and those that don't. You can tell the
difference by the strdup_strings flag, and one should use
either STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP, or STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP as an
initializer.

Historically, the normal all-zeros initialization has
corresponded to the NODUP case. Many sites use no
initializer at all, and that works as a shorthand for that
case. But for a reader of the code, it can be hard to
remember which is which. Let's be more explicit and actually
have each site declare which type it means to use.

This is a fairly mechanical conversion; I assumed each site
was correct as-is, and just switched them all to NODUP.

4e55ed32db add: add --chmod=+x / --chmod=-x options
The executable bit will not be detected (and therefore will not be
set) for paths in a repository with `core.filemode` set to false,
though the users may still wish to add files as executable for
compatibility with other users who _do_ have `core.filemode`
functionality.  For example, Windows users adding shell scripts may
wish to add them as executable for compatibility with users on
non-Windows.

Although this can be done with a plumbing command
(`git update-index --add --chmod=+x foo`), teaching the `git-add`
command allows users to set a file executable with a command that
they're already familiar with.

Just like pointer field like prefix, the piece of memory pointed at

9f23e04061 pretty: support "mboxrd" output format
This output format prevents format-patch output from breaking
readers if somebody copy+pasted an mbox into a commit message.

Unlike the traditional "mboxo" format, "mboxrd" is designed to
be fully-reversible.  "mboxrd" also gracefully degrades to
showing extra ">" in existing "mboxo" readers.

This degradation is preferable to breaking message splitting
completely, a problem I've seen in "mboxcl" due to having
multiple, non-existent, or inaccurate Content-Length headers.

"mboxcl2" is a non-starter since it's inherits the problems
of "mboxcl" while being completely incompatible with existing
tooling based around mailsplit.

8f31fac365 builtin/apply: add 'lock_file' pointer into 'struct apply_state'
We cannot have a 'struct lock_file' allocated on the stack, as lockfile.c
keeps a linked list of all created lock_file structures.

Also 'struct apply_state' users might later want the same 'struct lock_file'
instance to be reused by different series of calls to the apply api.

So let's add a 'struct lock_file *lock_file' pointer into 'struct apply_state'
and have the user of 'struct apply_state' allocate memory for the actual
'struct lock_file' instance.

Let's also add an argument to init_apply_state(), so that the caller can
easily supply a pointer to the allocated instance.

fb85db84dc rev-list: disable bitmaps when "-n" is used with listing objects
You can ask rev-list to use bitmaps to speed up an --objects
traversal, which should generally give you your answers much
faster.

Likewise, you can ask rev-list to limit such a traversal
with `-n`, in which case we'll show only a limited set of
commits (and only the tree and commit objects directly
reachable from those commits).

But if you do both together, the results are nonsensical. We
end up limiting any fallback traversal we do to _find_ the
bitmaps, but the actual set of objects we output will be
picked arbitrarily from the union of any bitmaps we do find,
and will involve the objects of many more commits.

It's possible that somebody might want this as a "show me
what you can, but limit the amount of work you do" flag.
But as with the prior commit clamping "--count", the results
are basically non-deterministic; you'll get the values from
some commits between `n` and the total number, and you can't
tell which.

And unlike the `--count` case, we can't easily generate the
"real" value from the bitmap values (you can't just walk
back `-n` commits and subtract out the reachable objects
from the boundary commits; the bitmaps for `X` record its
total reachability, so you don't know which objects are
directly from `X` itself, which from `X^`, and so on).

So let's just fallback to the non-bitmap code path in this
case, so we always give a sane answer.

5c9f9bf313 rev-list: "adjust" results of "--count --use-bitmap-index -n"
If you ask rev-list for:

    git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index HEAD

we optimize out the actual traversal and just give you the
number of bits set in the commit bitmap. This is faster,
which is good.

But if you ask to limit the size of the traversal, like:

    git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index -n 100 HEAD

we'll still output the full bitmapped number we found. On
the surface, that might even seem OK. You explicitly asked
to use the bitmap index, and it was cheap to compute the
real answer, so we gave it to you.

But there's something much more complicated going on under
the hood. If we don't have a bitmap directly for HEAD, then
we have to actually traverse backwards, looking for a
bitmapped commit. And _that_ traversal is bounded by our
`-n` count.

This is a good thing, because it bounds the work we have to
do, which is probably what the user wanted by asking for
`-n`. But now it makes the output quite confusing. You might
get many values:

  - your `-n` value, if we walked back and never found a
    bitmap (or fewer if there weren't that many commits)

  - the actual full count, if we found a bitmap root for
    every path of our traversal with in the `-n` limit

  - any number in between! We might have walked back and
    found _some_ bitmaps, but then cut off the traversal
    early with some commits not accounted for in the result.

So you cannot even see a value higher than your `-n` and say
"OK, bitmaps kicked in, this must be the real full count".
The only sane thing is for git to just clamp the value to a
maximum of the `-n` value, which means we should output the
exact same results whether bitmaps are in use or not.

The test in t5310 demonstrates this by using `-n 1`.
Without this patch we fail in the full-bitmap case (where we
do not have to traverse at all) but _not_ in the
partial-bitmap case (where we have to walk down to find an
actual bitmap). With this patch, both cases just work.

I didn't implement the crazy in-between case, just because
it's complicated to set up, and is really a subset of the
full-count case, which we do cover.
