Internaly we use 0{40} as a placeholder object name to signal the
codepath that there is no such object (e.g. the fast-forward check
while "git fetch" stores a new remote-tracking ref says "we know
there is no 'old' thing pointed at by the ref, as we are creating
it anew" by passing 0{40} for the 'old' side), and expect that a
codepath to locate an in-core object to return NULL as a sign that
the object does not exist. A look-up for an object that does not
exist however is quite costly with a repository with large number
of packfiles. This access pattern has been optimized.

sha1_file: fast-path null sha1 as a missing object
In theory nobody should ever ask the low-level object code
for a null sha1. It's used as a sentinel for "no such
object" in lots of places, so leaking through to this level
is a sign that the higher-level code is not being careful
about its error-checking. In practice, though, quite a few
code paths seem to rely on the null sha1 lookup failing as a
way to quietly propagate non-existence (e.g., by feeding it
to lookup_commit_reference_gently(), which then returns
NULL).
When this happens, we do two inefficient things:
1. We actually search for the null sha1 in packs and in
the loose object directory.
2. When we fail to find it, we re-scan the pack directory
in case a simultaneous repack happened to move it from
loose to packed. This can be very expensive if you have
a large number of packs.
Only the second one actually causes noticeable performance
problems, so we could treat them independently. But for the
sake of simplicity (both of code and of reasoning about it),
it makes sense to just declare that the null sha1 cannot be
a real on-disk object, and looking it up will always return
"no such object".
There's no real loss of functionality to do so Its use as a
sentinel value means that anybody who is unlucky enough to
hit the 2^-160th chance of generating an object with that
sha1 is already going to find the object largely unusable.
In an ideal world, we'd simply fix all of the callers to
notice the null sha1 and avoid passing it to us. But a
simple experiment to catch this with a BUG() shows that
there are a large number of code paths that do so.
So in the meantime, let's fix the performance problem by
taking a fast exit from the object lookup when we see a null
sha1. p5551 shows off the improvement (when a fetched ref is
new, the "old" sha1 is 0{40}, which ends up being passed for
fast-forward checks, the status table abbreviations, etc):

When trying to connect to an ssh:// URL with port explicitly specified
and the ssh command configured with GIT_SSH does not support such a
setting, it is less confusing to error out than to silently suppress
the port setting and continue.
This requires updating the GIT_SSH setting in t5603-clone-dirname.sh.
That test is about the directory name produced when cloning various
URLs. It uses an ssh wrapper that ignores all its arguments but does
not declare that it supports a port argument; update it to set
GIT_SSH_VARIANT=ssh to do so. (Real-life ssh wrappers that pass a
port argument to OpenSSH would also support -G and would not require
such an update.)

ssh: 'auto' variant to select between 'ssh' and 'simple'
Android's "repo" tool is a tool for managing a large codebase
consisting of multiple smaller repositories, similar to Git's
submodule feature. Starting with Git 94b8ae5a (ssh: introduce a
'simple' ssh variant, 2017-10-16), users noticed that it stopped
handling the port in ssh:// URLs.
The cause: when it encounters ssh:// URLs, repo pre-connects to the
server and sets GIT_SSH to a helper ".repo/repo/git_ssh" that reuses
that connection. Before 94b8ae5a, the helper was assumed to support
OpenSSH options for lack of a better guess and got passed a -p option
to set the port. After that patch, it uses the new default of a
simple helper that does not accept an option to set the port.
The next release of "repo" will set GIT_SSH_VARIANT to "ssh" to avoid
that. But users of old versions and of other similar GIT_SSH
implementations would not get the benefit of that fix.
So update the default to use OpenSSH options again, with a twist. As
observed in 94b8ae5a, we cannot assume that $GIT_SSH always handles
OpenSSH options: common helpers such as travis-ci's dpl[*] are
configured using GIT_SSH and do not accept OpenSSH options. So make
the default a new variant "auto", with the following behavior:
1. First, check for a recognized basename, like today.
2. If the basename is not recognized, check whether $GIT_SSH supports
OpenSSH options by running
$GIT_SSH -G <options> <host>
This returns status 0 and prints configuration in OpenSSH if it
recognizes all <options> and returns status 255 if it encounters
an unrecognized option. A wrapper script like
exec ssh -- "$@"
would fail with
ssh: Could not resolve hostname -g: Name or service not known
, correctly reflecting that it does not support OpenSSH options.
The command is run with stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected to
/dev/null so even a command that expects a terminal would exit
immediately.
3. Based on the result from step (2), behave like "ssh" (if it
succeeded) or "simple" (if it failed).
This way, the default ssh variant for unrecognized commands can handle
both the repo and dpl cases as intended.
This autodetection has been running on Google workstations since
2017-10-23 with no reported negative effects.

ssh test: make copy_ssh_wrapper_as clean up after itself
Simplify by not allowing the copied ssh wrapper to persist between
tests. This way, tests can be safely reordered, added, and removed
with less fear of hidden side effects.
This also avoids having to call setup_ssh_wrapper to restore the value
of GIT_SSH after this battery of tests, since it means each test will
restore it individually.
Noticed because on Windows, if `uplink.exe` exists, the MSYS2 Bash
will overwrite that when redirecting via `>uplink`. A proposed test
wrote a script to 'uplink' after a previous test created uplink.exe
using copy_ssh_wrapper_as, so the script written with '>uplink' had
the wrong filename and failed.
