The transfer.fsckobjects configuration tells "git fetch" to
validate the data and connected-ness of objects in the received
pack; the code to perform this check has been taught about the
narrow clone's convention that missing objects that are reachable
from objects in a pack that came from a promissor remote is OK.

In a way similar to how "git tag" learned to honor the pager

The gitattributes documentation claims that the pattern
rules are largely the same as for gitignore. However, the
rules for recursion are different.
In an ideal world, we would make them the same (if for
nothing else than consistency and simplicity), but that
would create backwards compatibility issues. For some
discussion, see this thread:
The function ce_write_entry() uses a 'self-initialised' variable
construct, for the symbol 'saved_namelen', to suppress a gcc
'-Wmaybe-uninitialized' warning, given that the warning is a false
positive.
For the purposes of this discussion, the ce_write_entry() function has
three code blocks of interest, that look like so:
The warning implies that gcc thinks it is possible that the first
block is not entered, the calls to copy_cache_entry_to_ondisk()
could toggle the CE_STRIP_NAME flag on, thereby entering block #3
with saved_namelen unset. However, the copy_cache_entry_to_ondisk()
function does not write to ce->ce_flags (it only reads). gcc could
easily determine this, since that function is local to this file,
but it obviously doesn't.
In order to suppress this warning, we make it clear to the reader
(human and compiler), that block #3 will only be entered when the
first block has been entered, by introducing a new 'stripped_name'
boolean variable. We also take the opportunity to change the type
of 'saved_namelen' to 'unsigned int' to match ce->ce_namelen.

-Wuninitialized: remove some 'init-self' workarounds
The 'self-initialised' variables construct (ie <type> var = var;) has
been used to silence gcc '-W[maybe-]uninitialized' warnings. This has,
unfortunately, caused MSVC to issue 'uninitialized variable' warnings.
Also, using clang static analysis causes complaints about an 'Assigned
value is garbage or undefined'.
There are six such constructs in the current codebase. Only one of the
six causes gcc to issue a '-Wmaybe-uninitialized' warning (which will
be addressed elsewhere). The remaining five 'init-self' gcc workarounds
are noted below, along with the commit which introduced them:
1. builtin/rev-list.c: 'reaches' and 'all', see commit 457f08a030
("git-rev-list: add --bisect-vars option.", 2007-03-21).
2. merge-recursive.c:2064 'mrtree', see commit f120ae2a8e ("merge-
recursive.c: mrtree in merge() is not used before set", 2007-10-29).
3. fast-import.c:3023 'oe', see commit 85c62395b1 ("fast-import: let
importers retrieve blobs", 2010-11-28).
4. fast-import.c:3006 'oe', see commit 28c7b1f7b7 ("fast-import: add a
get-mark command", 2015-07-01).

In order to echo a tab character, it's better to use printf instead of
"echo -e", because it's more portable (for instance, "echo -e" doesn't work
as expected on a Mac).
This solves the "fatal: Not a valid object name" error in git-filter-branch
when using the --state-branch option.
Furthermore, let's switch from "/bin/echo" to just "echo", so that the
built-in echo command is used where available.

On Windows, strftime() does not silently ignore invalid formats, but
warns about them and then returns 0 and sets errno to EINVAL.
Unfortunately, Git does not expect such a behavior, as it disagrees
with strftime()'s semantics on Linux. As a consequence, Git
misinterprets the return value 0 as "I need more space" and grows the
buffer. As the larger buffer does not fix the format, the buffer grows
and grows and grows until we are out of memory and abort.
Ideally, we would switch off the parameter validation just for
strftime(), but we cannot even override the invalid parameter handler
via _set_thread_local_invalid_parameter_handler() using MINGW because
that function is not declared. Even _set_invalid_parameter_handler(),
which *is* declared, does not help, as it simply does... nothing.
So let's just bite the bullet and override strftime() for MINGW and
abort on an invalid format string. While this does not provide the
best user experience, it is the best we can do.

t9402-git-cvsserver-refs: don't check the stderr of a subshell
Four 'cvs diff' related tests in 't9402-git-cvsserver-refs.sh' fail
when the test script is run with '-x' tracing (and using a shell other
than a Bash version supporting BASH_XTRACEFD). The reason for those
failures is that the tests check the emptiness of a subshell's stderr,
which includes the trace of commands executed in that subshell as
well, throwing off the emptiness check.
Save the stdout and stderr of the invoked 'cvs' command instead of the
whole subshell, so the latter remains free from tracing output. (Note
that changing how stdout is saved is only done for the sake of
consistency, it's not necessary for correctness.)

t9400-git-cvsserver-server: don't rely on the output of 'test_cmp'
The test 'cvs update (-p)' redirects and checks 'test_cmp's stdout and
even its stderr. The commit introducing this test in 6e8937a084
(cvsserver: Add test for update -p, 2008-03-27) doesn't discuss why,
in fact its log message only consists of that subject line. Anyway,
weird as it is, it kind of made sense due to the way that test was
structured:
After a bit of preparation, this test updates four files via CVS and
checks their contents using 'test_cmp', but it does so in a for loop
iterating over the names of those four files. Now, the exit status of
a for loop is the exit status of the last command executed in the
loop, meaning that the test can't simply rely on the exit code of
'test_cmp' in the loop's body. Instead, the test works it around by
relying on the stdout of 'test_cmp' being silent on success and
showing the diff on failure, as it appends the stdout of all four
'test_cmp' invocations to a single file and checks that file's
emptiness after the loop (with 'test -z "$(cat ...)"', no less; there
was no 'test_must_be_empty' back then). Furthermore, the test
redirects the stderr of those 'test_cmp' invocations to this file,
too: while 'test_cmp' itself doesn't output anything to stderr, the
invoked 'diff' or 'cmp' commands do send their error messages there,
e.g. if they can't open a file because its name was misspelled.
This also makes this test fail when the test script is run with '-x'
tracing (and using a shell other than a Bash version supporting
BASH_XTRACEFD), because 'test_cmp's stderr contains the trace of the
'diff' command executed inside the helper function, throwing off the
subsequent emptiness check.
Stop relying on 'test_cmp's output and instead run 'test_cmp a b ||
return 1' in the for loop in order to make 'test_cmp's error code fail
the test. Furthermore, add the missing && after the cvs command to
create a && chain in the loop's body.
After this change t9400 passes with '-x', even when running with
/bin/sh.

Since Git 1.7.9, "git merge" defaulted to --no-ff (i.e. even when

signed tags from their downstream contributors, but caused an
unnecessary merges when used by downstream contributors who
habitually "catch up" their topic branches with tagged releases
from the upstream. Update "git merge" to default to --no-ff only

perl Git::LoadCPAN: emit better errors under NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS
Before my 20d2a30f8f ("Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple

private-Error.pm copy we carried around manually removing the OS's
Error.pm would yield:
$ git add -p
Can't locate Error.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Error module) [...]
Now, before this change we'll instead emit this more cryptic error:
$ git add -p
BUG: '/usr/share/perl5/Git/FromCPAN' should be a directory! at /usr/share/perl5/Git/Error.pm line 36.
This is a confusing error. Now if the new NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS
option is specified and we can't find the module we'll instead emit:
$ /tmp/git/bin/git add -p
BUG: The 'Error' module is not here, but NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS was set!
[...]
Where [...] is the lengthy explanation seen in the change below, which
explains what the potential breakage is, and how to fix it.
The reason for checking @@NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS@@] against the empty
string in Perl is as opposed to checking for a boolean value is that
that's (as far as I can tell) make's idea of a string that's set, and

install, as a convenience. This allows us to rely on those modules in
our perl-based tools and scripts without requiring users to install the
modules from CPAN or their operating system packages.
Users whose operating system provides these modules and packagers of Git
often don't want to ship or use these bundled modules. Allow these
users to set NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS to avoid installing the bundled
modules.

perl: move the perl/Git/FromCPAN tree to perl/FromCPAN
Move the CPAN modules that have lived under perl/Git/FromCPAN since my 20d2a30f8f ("Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make
rules", 2017-12-10) to perl/FromCPAN.
A subsequent change will teach the Makefile to only install these
copies of CPAN modules if a flag that distro packagers would like to
set isn't set. Due to how the wildcard globbing is being done it's
much easier to accomplish that if they're moved to their own
directory.

Change the two wrappers that load from CPAN (local OS) or our own copy
to do so via the same codepath.
I added the Error.pm wrapper in 20d2a30f8f ("Makefile: replace
perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules", 2017-12-10), and shortly
afterwards Matthieu Moy added a wrapper for Mail::Address in bd869f67b9 ("send-email: add and use a local copy of Mail::Address",
2018-01-05).
His loader was simpler since Mail::Address doesn't have an "import"
method, but didn't do the same sanity checking; For example, a missing
FromCPAN directory (which OS packages are likely not to have) wouldn't
be explicitly warned about as a "BUG: ...".
Update both to use a common implementation based on the previous
Error.pm loader. Which has been amended to take the module to load as
parameter, as well as whether or not that module has an import
method.
This loader should be generic enough to handle almost all CPAN modules
out there, some use some crazy loading magic and wouldn't like being
wrapped like this, but that would be immediately obvious, and we'd
find out right away since the module wouldn't work at all.
