The resulting submodule 'struct repository' can be in one of three states:
1. The submodule is initialized and has a worktree.
2. The submodule is initialized but does not have a worktree. This
would occur when the submodule's gitdir is present in the
superproject's 'gitdir/modules/' directory yet the submodule has not
been checked out in superproject's worktree.
3. The submodule remains uninitialized due to an error in the
initialization process or there is no matching submodule at the
provided path in the superproject.

Teach the config machinery to read config information from a repository
object. This involves storing a 'struct config_set' inside the
repository object and adding a number of functions (repo_config*) to be
able to query a repository's config.
The current config API enables lazy-loading of the config. This means
that when 'git_config_get_int()' is called, if the_config_set hasn't
been populated yet, then it will be populated and properly initialized by
reading the necessary config files (system wide .gitconfig, user's home
.gitconfig, and the repository's config). To maintain this paradigm,
the new API to read from a repository object's config will also perform
this lazy-initialization.
Since both APIs (git_config_get* and repo_config_get*) have the same
semantics we can migrate the default config to be stored within
'the_repository' and just have the 'git_config_get*' family of functions
redirect to the 'repo_config_get*' functions.

path: worktree_git_path() should not use file relocation
git_path is a convenience function that usually produces a string
$GIT_DIR/<path>. Since v2.5.0-rc0~143^2~35 (git_path(): be aware of
file relocation in $GIT_DIR, 2014-11-30), as a side benefit callers
get support for path relocation variables like $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY:
- git_path("index") is $GIT_INDEX_FILE when set
- git_path("info/grafts") is $GIT_GRAFTS_FILE when set
- git_path("objects/<foo>") is $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/<foo> when set
- git_path("hooks/<foo>") is <foo> under core.hookspath when set
- git_path("refs/<foo>") etc (see path.c::common_list) is relative
to $GIT_COMMON_DIR instead of $GIT_DIR
worktree_git_path, by comparison, is designed to resolve files in a
specific worktree's git dir. Unfortunately, it shares code with
git_path and performs the same relocation. The result is that paths
that are meant to be relative to the specified worktree's git dir end
up replaced by paths from environment variables within the current git
dir.
Luckily, no current callers pass such arguments. The relocation was
noticed when testing the result of merging two patches under review,
one of which introduces a caller:
* The first patch made git prune check the index file in each
worktree's git dir (using worktree_git_path(wt, "index")) for
objects not to prune. This would trigger the unwanted relocation
when GIT_INDEX_FILE is set, causing objects reachable from the
index to be pruned.
* The second patch simplified the relocation logic for index,
info/grafts, objects, and hooks to happen unconditionally instead of
based on whether environment or configuration variables are set.
This caused the relocation to trigger even when GIT_INDEX_FILE is
not set.
[jn: rewrote commit message; skipping all relocation instead of just
GIT_INDEX_FILE]

Introduce the repository object 'struct repository' which can be used to
hold all state pertaining to a git repository.
Some of the benefits of object-ifying a repository are:
1. Make the code base more readable and easier to reason about.
2. Allow for working on multiple repositories, specifically
submodules, within the same process. Currently the process for
working on a submodule involves setting up an argv_array of options
for a particular command and then launching a child process to
execute the command in the context of the submodule. This is
clunky and can require lots of little hacks in order to ensure
correctness. Ideally it would be nice to simply pass a repository
and an options struct to a command.
3. Eliminating reliance on global state will make it easier to
enable the use of threading to improve performance.

setup: don't perform lazy initialization of repository state
Under some circumstances (bogus GIT_DIR value or the discovered gitdir
is '.git') 'setup_git_directory()' won't initialize key repository
state. This leads to inconsistent state after running the setup code.
To account for this inconsistent state, lazy initialization is done once
a caller asks for the repository's gitdir or some other piece of
repository state. This is confusing and can be error prone.
Instead let's tighten the expected outcome of 'setup_git_directory()'
and ensure that it initializes repository state in all cases that would
have been handled by lazy initialization.
This also lets us drop the requirement to have 'have_git_dir()' check if
the environment variable GIT_DIR was set as that will be handled by the
end of the setup code.

pull: optionally rebase submodules (remote submodule changes only)
Teach pull to optionally update submodules when '--recurse-submodules'
is provided. This will teach pull to run 'submodule update --rebase'
when the '--recurse-submodules' and '--rebase' flags are given under
specific circumstances.
On a rebase workflow:
=====================
1. Both sides change the submodule
------------------------------
Let's assume the following history in a submodule:
H---I---J---K---L local branch
\
M---N---O---P remote branch
and the following in the superproject (recorded submodule in parens):
A(H)---B(I)---F(K)---G(L) local branch
\
C(N)---D(N)---E(P) remote branch
In an ideal world this would rebase the submodule and rewrite
the submodule pointers that the superproject points at such that
the superproject looks like
And if a conflict arises in the submodule the superproject rebase
would stop at that commit at which the submodule conflict occurs.
Currently a "pull --rebase" in the superproject produces
a merge conflict as the submodule pointer changes are
conflicting and cannot be resolved.
2. Local submodule changes only
-----------------------
Assuming histories as above, except that the remote branch
would not contain submodule changes, then a result as
This patch doesn't address this issue, however
a test is added that this fails up front.
3. Remote submodule changes only
----------------------
Assuming histories as in (1) except that the local superproject branch
would not have touched the submodule the rebase already works out in the
superproject with no conflicts:
A(H)---B(I) F(P)---G(P) rebased branch (no sub changes)
\ /
C(N)---D(N)---E(P) remote branch
The recurse flag as presented in this patch would additionally
update the submodule as:
As neither J, K, L nor J', K', L' are referred to from the superproject,
no rewriting of the superproject commits is required.
Conclusion for 'pull --rebase --recursive'
-----------------------------------------
If there are no local superproject changes it is sufficient to call
"submodule update --rebase" as this produces the desired results. In case
of conflicts, the behavior is the same as in 'submodule update --recursive'
which is assumed to be sane.
This patch implements (3) only.
On a merge workflow:
====================
We'll start off with the same underlying DAG as in (1) in the rebase
workflow. So in an ideal world a 'pull --merge --recursive' would
produce this:
H---I---J---K---L----X
\ /
M---N---O---P
with X as the new merge-commit in the submodule and the superproject
as:
However modifying the submodules on the fly is not supported in git-merge
such that Y(X) is not easy to produce in a single patch. In fact git-merge
doesn't know about submodules at all.
However when at least one side does not contain commits touching the
submodule at all, then we do not need to perform the merge for the
submodule but a fast-forward can be done via checking out either L or P
in the submodule. This strategy is implemented in 68d03e4a6e (Implement
automatic fast-forward merge for submodules, 2010-07-07) already, so
to align with the rebase behavior we need to also update the worktree
of the submodule.

sha1_name: cache readdir(3) results in find_short_object_filename()
Read each loose object subdirectory at most once when looking for unique
abbreviated hashes. This speeds up commands like "git log --pretty=%h"
considerably, which previously caused one readdir(3) call for each
candidate, even for subdirectories that were visited before.
The new cache is kept until the program ends and never invalidated. The
same is already true for pack indexes. The inherent racy nature of
finding unique short hashes makes it still fit for this purpose -- a
conflicting new object may be added at any time. Tasks with higher
consistency requirements should not use it, though.
The cached object names are stored in an oid_array, which is quite
compact. The bitmap for remembering which subdir was already read is
stored as a char array, with one char per directory -- that's not quite
as compact, but really simple and incurs only an overhead equivalent to
11 hashes after all.

die(): stop hiding errors due to overzealous recursion guard
Change the recursion limit for the default die routine from a *very*
low 1 to 1024. This ensures that infinite recursions are broken, but
doesn't lose the meaningful error messages under threaded execution
where threads concurrently start to die.
The intent of the existing code, as explained in commit cd163d4b4e ("usage.c: detect recursion in die routines and bail out
immediately", 2012-11-14), is to break infinite recursion in cases
where the die routine itself calls die(), and would thus infinitely
recurse.
However, doing that very aggressively by immediately printing out
"recursion detected in die handler" if we've already called die() once
means that threaded invocations of git can end up only printing out
the "recursion detected" error, while hiding the meaningful error.
An example of this is running a threaded grep which dies on execution
against pretty much any repo, git.git will do:
With the current version of git this will print some combination of
multiple PCRE failures that caused the abort and multiple "recursion
detected", some invocations will print out multiple "recursion
detected" errors with no PCRE error at all!
Before this change, running the above grep command 1000 times against
git.git[1] and taking the top 20 results will on my system yield the
following distribution of actual errors ("E") and recursion
errors ("R"):
322 E R
306 E
116 E R R
65 R R
54 R E
49 E E
44 R
15 E R R R
9 R R R
7 R E R
5 R R E
3 E R R R R
2 E E R
1 R R R R
1 R R R E
1 R E R R
The exact results are obviously random and system-dependent, but this
shows the race condition in this code. Some small part of the time
we're about to print out the actual error ("E") but another thread's
recursion error beats us to it, and sometimes we print out nothing but
the recursion error.
With this change we get, now with "W" to mean the new warning being
emitted indicating that we've called die() many times:
502 E
160 E W E
120 E E
53 E W
35 E W E E
34 W E E
29 W E E E
16 E E W
16 E E E
11 W E E E E
7 E E W E
4 W E
3 W W E E
2 E W E E E
1 W W E
1 W E W E
1 E W W E E E
1 E W W E E
1 E W W E
1 E W E E W
Which still sucks a bit, due to a still present race-condition in this
code we're sometimes going to print out several errors still, or
several warnings, or two duplicate errors without the warning.
But we will never have a case where we completely hide the actual
error as we do now.
Now, git-grep could make use of the pluggable error facility added in
commit c19a490e37 ("usage: allow pluggable die-recursion checks",
2013-04-16). There's other threaded code that calls set_die_routine()
or set_die_is_recursing_routine().
But this is about fixing the general die() behavior with threading
when we don't have such a custom routine yet. Right now the common
case is not an infinite recursion in the handler, but us losing error
messages by default because we're overly paranoid about our recursion
check.
So let's just set the recursion limit to a number higher than the
number of threads we're ever likely to spawn. Now we won't lose
errors, and if we have a recursing die handler we'll still die within
microseconds.
There are race conditions in this code itself, in particular the
"dying" variable is not thread mutexed, so we e.g. won't be dying at
exactly 1024, or for that matter even be able to accurately test
"dying == 2", see the cases where we print out more than one "W"
above.
But that doesn't really matter, for the recursion guard we just need
to die "soon", not at exactly 1024 calls, and for printing the correct
error and only one warning most of the time in the face of threaded
death this is good enough and a net improvement on the current code.

Since c9d961647 (i18n: add--interactive: mark
edit_hunk_manually message for translation, 2016-12-14),
when the user asks to edit a hunk manually, we respect
core.commentChar in generating the edit instructions.
However, when we then strip out comment lines, we use a
simple regex like:
/^$commentChar/
If your chosen comment character is a regex metacharacter,
then that will behave in a confusing manner ("$", for
instance, would only eliminate blank lines, not actual
comment lines).
We can fix that by telling perl not to respect
metacharacters.

The prompt_yesno function loops indefinitely waiting for a
"y" or "n" response. But it doesn't handle EOF, meaning
that we can end up in an infinite loop of reading EOF from
stdin. One way to simulate that is with:
echo e | GIT_EDITOR='echo corrupt >' git add -p
Let's break out of the loop and propagate the undef to the
caller. Without modifying the callers that effectively turns
it into a "no" response. This is reasonable for both of the
current callers, and it leaves room for any future caller to
check for undef explicitly.

When help.autoCorrect is enabled, an invalid git command prints a
warning and a continuation message, which differs depending on
whether or not the value of help.autoCorrect is positive or
negative.

The continuation message's phrasing is awkward. This commit cleans it up.
As a bonus, we now use full-sentence strings which make translation easier.

grep: fix erroneously copy/pasted variable in check/assert pattern
Fix an erroneously copy/pasted check for the pcre2_jit_stack variable
to check pcre2_match_context instead. The former was already checked
in the preceding "if" statement.
This is a trivial and obvious error introduced in my commit 94da9193a6 ("grep: add support for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01).
In practice if pcre2_match_context_create() returned NULL we were
likely in a situation where malloc() was returning NULL, and were thus
screwed anyway, but if only the pcre2_match_context_create() call
returned NULL (through some transitory bug) PCRE v2 would just
allocate and supply its own context object when matching, and we'd run
normally at the trivial expense of not getting a slight speedup by
sharing the context object between successive matches.

When an existing repository is used for t/perf testing, we first
create bit-for-bit copy of it, which may grab a transient state of
the repository and freeze it into the repository used for testing,
which then may cause Git operations to fail. Single out "the index
being locked" case and forcibly drop the lock from the copy.

The convention for a command line is to follow "git cmdname
--options" with revisions followed by an optional "--"
disambiguator and then finally pathspecs. When "--" is not there,
we make sure early ones are all interpretable as revs (and do not
look like paths) and later ones are the other way around. A
pathspec with "magic" (e.g. ":/p/a/t/h" that matches p/a/t/h from
the top-level of the working tree, no matter what subdirectory you
are working from) are conservatively judged as "not a path", which
required disambiguation more often. The command line parser
learned to say "it's a pathspec" a bit more often when the syntax
looks like so.

`for_each_bisect_ref()` is called by `for_each_bad_bisect_ref()` with
a term "bad". This used to make it call `for_each_ref_in_submodule()`
with a prefix "refs/bisect/bad". But the latter is the name of the
reference that is being sought, so the empty string was being passed
to the callback as the trimmed refname. Moreover, this questionable
practice was turned into an error by
b9c8e7f2fb prefix_ref_iterator: don't trim too much, 2017-05-22
It makes more sense (and agrees better with the documentation of
`--bisect`) for the callers to receive the full reference names. So
* Add a new function, `for_each_fullref_in_submodule()`, to the refs
API. This plugs a gap in the existing functionality, analogous to
`for_each_fullref_in()` but accepting a `submodule` argument.
* Change `for_each_bad_bisect_ref()` to call the new function rather
than `for_each_ref_in_submodule()`.
* Add a test.

mergetools/meld: improve compatibiilty with Meld on macOS X
The macOS X fork of Meld[1] requires a "=" in the "--output"
argument, as it uses a wrapper[2] script that munges the
"--output" argument before calling into the common "meld"
script.
The macOS X wrapper script[2] accepts "--output=<filename>"
only, despite the fact that the underlying meld code accepts
both "--output <filename" and "--output=<filename>"[3].
All versions of meld which accept "--output" accept it in
the "--output=<filename>" form, so use "--output=<file>" for
maximum compatibility.
