Internaly we use 0{40} as a placeholder object name to signal the

it anew" by passing 0{40} for the 'old' side), and expect that a

Commit 78a6766802 ("Integrate hash algorithm support with repo setup",

repository structure, without modifying the initializer of the 'the_repo'
variable. This does not actually introduce a bug, since the '0' initializer
for the 'ignore_env:1' bit-field is interpreted as a NULL pointer (hence
the warning), and the final field (now with no initializer) receives a
default '0'.

Doc/checkout: checking out using @{-N} can lead to detached state
@{-N} is a syntax for the N-th last "checkout" and not the N-th
last "branch". Therefore, in some cases using `git checkout @{-$N}`
DOES lead to a "detached HEAD" state. This can also be ensured by
the commit message of 75d6e552a (Documentation: @{-N} can refer to
a commit, 2014-01-19) which clearly specifies how @{-N} can be used
to refer not only to a branch but also to a commit.

grep: fix segfault under -P + PCRE2 <=10.30 + (*NO_JIT)
Fix a bug in the compilation of PCRE2 patterns under JIT (the most
common runtime configuration). Any pattern with a (*NO_JIT) verb would
segfault in any currently released PCRE2 version:
That this segfaulted was a bug in PCRE2 itself, after reporting it[1]
on pcre-dev it's been fixed in a yet-to-be-released version of
PCRE (presumably released first as 10.31). Now it'll die with:
$ git grep -P '(*NO_JIT)hi.*there'
fatal: pcre2_jit_match failed with error code -45: bad JIT option
But the cause of the bug is in our own code dating back to my 94da9193a6 ("grep: add support for PCRE v2", 2017-06-01).
As explained at more length in the comment being added here, it isn't
sufficient to just check pcre2_config() to see whether the JIT should
be used, pcre2_pattern_info() also has to be asked.
This is something I discovered myself when fiddling around with PCRE2
verbs in patterns passed to git. I don't expect that any user of git
has encountered this given the obscurity of passing PCRE2 verbs
through to the library, along with the relative obscurity of (*NO_JIT)
itself.

Add LIBPCRE1 and LIBPCRE2 prerequisites which are true when git is
compiled with USE_LIBPCRE1=YesPlease or USE_LIBPCRE2=YesPlease,
respectively.
The syntax of PCRE1 and PCRE2 isn't the same in all cases (see
pcresyntax(3) and pcre2syntax(3)). If test are added that test for
those they'll need to be guarded by these new prerequisites.
The subsequent patch will make use of LIBPCRE2, so LIBPCRE1 isn't
strictly needed for now, but let's add it for consistency and so that
checking for it doesn't have to be done with the less obvious "PCRE,
!LIBPCRE2", which while semantically the same is more confusing, and
would lead to bugs if PCRE v3 is ever released as the tests would mean
v1, not any non-v2 version.

stash: learn to parse -m/--message like commit does
`git stash push -m foo` uses "foo" as the message for the stash. But
`git stash push -m"foo"` does not parse successfully. Similarly
`git stash push --message="My stash message"` also fails. The stash
documentation doesn't suggest this syntax should work, but gitcli
does and my fingers have learned this pattern long ago for `commit`.
Teach `git stash` to parse -mFoo and --message=Foo the same as `git
commit` would do. Even though it's an internal function, add
similar support to create_stash() for consistency.

hooks doc: clarify when receive-pack invokes its hooks

because receive-pack is not a command the end users use every day
(ever), as an explanation also meantioned that it is run in response
to 'git push', which is an end-user facing command readers hopefully
know about.
This unfortunately gave an incorrect impression that 'git push'
always result in the hook to run. If the refs push wanted to update
all already had the desired value, these hooks are not run.

to avoid this confusion.

When `log --decorate` is used, git will decorate commits with all
available refs. While in most cases this may give the desired effect,
under some conditions it can lead to excessively verbose output.
Introduce two command line options, `--decorate-refs=<pattern>` and
`--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>` to allow the user to select which
refs are used in decoration.
When "--decorate-refs=<pattern>" is given, only the refs that match the
pattern are used in decoration. The refs that match the pattern when
"--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>" is given, are never used in
decoration.
These options follow the same convention for mixing negative and
positive patterns across the system, assuming that the inclusive default
is to match all refs available.
(1) if there is no positive pattern given, pretend as if an
inclusive default positive pattern was given;
(2) for each candidate, reject it if it matches no positive
pattern, or if it matches any one of the negative patterns.
The rules for what is considered a match are slightly different from the
rules used elsewhere.
Commands like `log --glob` assume a trailing '/*' when glob chars are
not present in the pattern. This makes it difficult to specify a single
ref. On the other hand, commands like `describe --match --all` allow
specifying exact refs, but do not have the convenience of allowing
"shorthand refs" like 'refs/heads' or 'heads' to refer to
'refs/heads/*'.
The commands introduced in this patch consider a match if:
(a) the pattern contains globs chars,
and regular pattern matching returns a match.
(b) the pattern does not contain glob chars,
and ref '<pattern>' exists, or if ref exists under '<pattern>/'
This allows both behaviours (allowing single refs and shorthand refs)
yet remaining compatible with existent commands.

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):
