On OSX `wc` prefixes the output of numbers with whitespace, such
that the `commit_count` would be "SP <NUMBER>". When using that in
git submodule update --init --depth=$commit_count
the depth would be empty and the number is interpreted as the
pathspec. Fix this by not using `wc` and rather instruct rev-list
to count.
Another way to fix this is to remove the `=` sign after the
`--depth` argument as then we are allowed to have more than just one
whitespace between `--depth` and the actual number. Prefer the
solution of rev-list counting as that is expected to be slightly
faster and more self-contained within Git.

submodule--helper: use parallel processor correctly
When developing another patch series I had a temporary state in
which git-clone would segfault, when the call was prepared in
prepare_to_clone_next_submodule. This lead to the call failing,
i.e. in `update_clone_task_finished` the task was scheduled to be
tried again. The second call to prepare_to_clone_next_submodule
would return 0, as the segfaulted clone did create the .git file
already, such that was not considered to need to be cloned again. I
was seeing the "BUG: ce was a submodule before?\n" message, which
was the correct behavior at the time as my local code was
buggy. When trying to debug this failure, I tried to use printing
messages into the strbuf that is passed around, but these messages
were never printed as the die(..) doesn't flush the `err` strbuf.
When implementing the die() in 665b35ecc (2016-06-09, "submodule--helper:
initial clone learns retry logic"), I considered this condition to be
a severe condition, which should lead to an immediate abort as we do not
trust ourselves any more. However the queued messages in `err` are valuable
so let's not toss them out by immediately dying, but a graceful return.
Another thing to note: The error message itself was misleading. A return
value of 0 doesn't indicate the passed in `ce` is not a submodule any more,
but just that we do not consider cloning it any more.

commit-slab.h: avoid duplicated global static variables
The gigantic define_commit_slab() macro repeats the definition of a
static variable that occurs earlier in the macro text. The purpose of
the repeated definition at the end of the macro is that it takes the
semicolon that occurs where the macro is used.
We cannot just remove the first definition of the variable because it
is referenced elsewhere in the macro text, and defining the macro later
would produce undefined identifier errors. We cannot have a "forward"
declaration, either. (This works only with "extern" global variables.)
The solution is to use a declaration of a struct that is already defined
earlier. This language construct can serve the same purpose as the
duplicated static variable definition, but without the confusion.

With GCC 6, the strdup() function is declared with the "nonnull"
attribute, stating that it is not allowed to pass a NULL value as
parameter.
In nedmalloc()'s reimplementation of strdup(), Postel's Law is heeded
and NULL parameters are handled gracefully. GCC 6 complains about that
now because it thinks that NULL cannot be passed to strdup() anyway.
Because the callers in this project of strdup() must be prepared to
call any implementation of strdup() supplied by the platform, so it
is pointless to pretend that it is OK to call it with NULL.
Remove the conditional based on NULL-ness of the input; this
squelches the warning. Check the return value of malloc() instead
to make sure we actually got the memory to write to.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-6/porting_to.html for details.

The newly-added test case wants to commit a file "c.t" (note the lower
case) when a previous test case already committed a file "C.t". This
confuses Git to the point that it thinks "c.t" was not staged when "git

Simply make the naming of the test commits consistent with the previous
test cases: use upper-case, and advance in the alphabet.

t7063: work around FreeBSD's lazy mtime update feature
Let's start with the commit message of [1] from freebsd.git [2]
Sync timestamp changes for inodes of special files to disk as late
as possible (when the inode is reclaimed). Temporarily only do
this if option UFS_LAZYMOD configured and softupdates aren't
enabled. UFS_LAZYMOD is intentionally left out of
/sys/conf/options.
This is mainly to avoid almost useless disk i/o on battery powered
machines. It's silly to write to disk (on the next sync or when
the inode becomes inactive) just because someone hit a key or
something wrote to the screen or /dev/null.
PR: 5577 [3]
The short version of that, in the context of t7063, is that when a
directory is updated, its mtime may be updated later, not
immediately. This can be shown with a simple command sequence
One would expect that the date shown in `ls` would be one second from
`date`, but it's 10 seconds later. If we put another `ls -lTd .` in
front of `sleep 10`, then the date of the last `ls` comes as
expected. The first `ls` somehow forces mtime to be updated.
t7063 is really sensitive to directory mtime. When mtime is too "new",
git code suspects racy timestamps and will not trigger the shortcut in
untracked cache, in t7063.24 and eventually be detected in t7063.27
We have two options thanks to this special FreeBSD feature:
1) Stop supporting untracked cache on FreeBSD. Skip t7063 entirely
when running on FreeBSD
2) Work around this problem (using the same 'ls' trick) and continue
to support untracked cache on FreeBSD
I initially wanted to go with 1) because I didn't know the exact
nature of this feature and feared that it would make untracked cache
work unreliably, using the cached version when it should not.
Since the behavior of this thing is clearer now. The picture is not
that bad. If this indeed happens often, untracked cache would assume
racy condition more often and _fall back_ to non-untracked cache code
paths. Which means it may be less effective, but it will not show
wrong things.
This patch goes with option 2.
PS. For those who want to look further in FreeBSD source code, this
flag is now called IN_LAZYMOD. I can see it's effective in ext2 and
ufs. zfs is not affected.
Gerrit has a "superproject subscription" feature[1], that triggers a
commit in a superproject that is subscribed to its submodules.
Conceptually this Gerrit feature can be done on the client side with
Git via (except for raciness, error handling etc):
while [ true ]; do
git -C <superproject> submodule update --remote --force
git -C <superproject> commit -a -m "Update submodules"
git -C <superproject> push
done
for each branch in the superproject. To ease the configuration in Gerrit
a special value of "." has been introduced for the submodule.<name>.branch
to mean the same branch as the superproject[2], such that you can create a
new branch on both superproject and the submodule and this feature
continues to work on that new branch.
Now we find projects in the wild with such a .gitmodules file.
The .gitmodules used in these Gerrit projects do not conform
to Gits understanding of how .gitmodules should look like.
This teaches Git to deal gracefully with this syntax as well.
The redefinition of "." does no harm to existing projects unaware of
this change, as "." is an invalid branch name in Git, so we do not
expect such projects to exist.
