A "git fetch" from a repository with insane number of refs into a
repository that is already up-to-date still wasted too many cycles
making many lstat(2) calls to see if these objects at the tips
exist as loose objects locally. These lstat(2) calls are optimized
away by enumerating all loose objects beforehand.

Rename detection logic in "diff" family that is used in "merge" has
learned to guess when all of x/a, x/b and x/c have moved to z/a,
z/b and z/c, it is likely that x/d added in the meantime would also
want to move to z/d by taking the hint that the entire directory

add -p: fix 2.17.0-rc* regression due to moved code
Fix a regression in 88f6ffc1c2 ("add -p: only bind search key if
there's more than one hunk", 2018-02-13) which is present in
2.17.0-rc*, but not 2.16.0.
In Perl, regex variables like $1 always refer to the last regex
match. When the aforementioned change added a new regex match between
the old match and the corresponding code that was expecting $1, the $1
variable would always be undef, since the newly inserted regex match
doesn't have any captures.
As a result the "/" feature to search for a string in a hunk by regex
completely broke, on git.git:
$ perl -pi -e 's/Git/Tig/g' README.md
$ ./git --exec-path=$PWD add -p
[..]
Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,j,J,g,/,s,e,?]? s
Split into 4 hunks.
[...]
Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,j,J,g,/,s,e,?]? /Many
Use of uninitialized value $1 in string eq at /home/avar/g/git/git-add--interactive line 1568, <STDIN> line 1.
search for regex? Many
I.e. the initial "/regex" command wouldn't work, and would always emit
a warning and ask again for a regex, now it works as intended again.

upload-pack: disable object filtering when disabled by config
When upload-pack gained partial clone support (v2.17.0-rc0~132^2~12,
2017-12-08), it was guarded by the uploadpack.allowFilter config item
to allow server operators to control when they start supporting it.
That config item didn't go far enough, though: it controls whether the
'filter' capability is advertised, but if a (custom) client ignores
the capability advertisement and passes a filter specification anyway,
the server would handle that despite allowFilter being false.
This is particularly significant if a security bug is discovered in
this new experimental partial clone code. Installations without
uploadpack.allowFilter ought not to be affected since they don't
intend to support partial clone, but they would be swept up into being
vulnerable.
Simplify and limit the attack surface by making uploadpack.allowFilter
disable the feature, not just the advertisement of it.

In 1ada5020b3 ("stash: use stash_push for no verb form", 2017-02-28),
when the pathspec argument was introduced in 'git stash', that was also
documented. However I forgot to remove an extra square bracket after
the '--message' argument, even though the square bracket should have
been after the pathspec argument (where it was also added).
Remove the extra square bracket after the '--message' argument, to show
that the pathspec argument should be used with the 'push' verb.
While the pathspec argument can be used without the push verb, that's a
special case described later in the man page, and removing the first extra
square bracket instead of the second one makes the synopis easier to
understand.

completion: clear cached --options when sourcing the completion script
The established way to update the completion script in an already
running shell is to simply source it again: this brings in any new
--options and features, and clears caching variables. E.g. it clears
the variables caching the list of (all|porcelain) git commands, so
when they are later lazy-initialized again, then they will list and
cache any newly installed commmands as well.
Unfortunately, since d401f3debc (git-completion.bash: introduce
__gitcomp_builtin, 2018-02-09) and subsequent patches this doesn't
work for a lot of git commands' options. To eliminate a lot of
hard-to-maintain hard-coded lists of options, those commits changed
the completion script to use a bunch of programmatically created and
lazy-initialized variables to cache the options of those builtin
porcelain commands that use parse-options. These variables are not
cleared upon sourcing the completion script, therefore they continue
caching the old lists of options, even when some commands recently
learned new options or when deprecated options were removed.
Always 'unset' these variables caching the options of builtin commands
when sourcing the completion script.
Redirect 'unset's stderr to /dev/null, because ZSH's 'unset' complains
if it's invoked without any arguments, i.e. no variables caching
builtin's options are set. This can happen, if someone were to source
the completion script twice without completing any --options in
between. Bash stays silent in this case.
Add tests to ensure that these variables are indeed cleared when the
completion script is sourced; not just the variables caching options,
but all other caching variables, i.e. the variables caching commands,
porcelain commands and merge strategies as well.

t7006: add tests for how git config paginates
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.
