request-pull: capitalise "Git" to make it a proper noun
Of the many ways to spell the three-letter word, the variant "Git"
should be used when referring to a repository in a description; or, in
general, when it is used as a proper noun.
We thus change the pull-request template message so that it reads
"...in the Git repository at:"
Besides, this brings us in line with the documentation, see

ref-filter.c: parse trailers arguments with %(contents) atom
The %(contents) atom takes a contents "field" as its argument. Since
"trailers" is one of those fields, extend contents_atom_parser to parse
"trailers"'s arguments when used through "%(contents)", like:
%(contents:trailers:unfold,only)
A caveat: trailers_atom_parser expects NULL when no arguments are given
(see: `parse_ref_filter_atom`). This is because string_list_split (given
a maxsplit of -1) returns a 1-ary string_list* containing the given
string if the delimiter could not be found using `strchr`.
To simulate this behavior without teaching trailers_atom_parser to
accept strings with length zero, conditionally pass NULL to
trailers_atom_parser if the arguments portion of the argument to
%(contents) is empty.

lookup_blob() etc. can return NULL if the referenced object isn't of the
expected type. In theory it's wrong to reference the object member in
that case. In practice it's OK because it's located at offset 0 for all
types, so the pointer arithmetic (NULL + 0) is optimized out by the
compiler. The issue is reported by Clang's AddressSanitizer, though.
Avoid the ASan error by casting the results of the lookup functions to

This is similar to using the hashmap in hashmap.c, but with an
easier-to-use API. In particular, custom entry comparisons no longer
need to be written, and lookups can be done without constructing a
temporary entry structure.
This is implemented as a thin wrapper over the hashmap API. In
particular, this means that there is an additional 4-byte overhead due
to the fact that the first 4 bytes of the hash is redundantly stored.
For now, I'm taking the simpler approach, but if need be, we can

We really, really, really want to limit the columns to 80 per line: One
of the few consistent style comments on the Git mailing list is that the
lines should not have more than 80 columns/line (even if 79 columns/line
would make more sense, given that the code is frequently viewed as diff,
and diffs adding an extra character).
The penalty of 5 for excess characters is way too low to guarantee that,
though, as pointed out by Brandon Williams.
From the existing clang-format examples and documentation, it appears
that 100 is a penalty deemed appropriate for Stuff You Really Don't
Want, so let's assign that as the penalty for "excess characters", i.e.
overly long lines.
While at it, adjust the penalties further: we are actually not that keen
on preventing new line breaks within comments or string literals, so the
penalty of 100 seems awfully high.
Likewise, we are not all that adamant about keeping line breaks away
from assignment operators (a lot of Git's code breaks immediately after
the `=` character just to keep that 80 columns/line limit).
We do frown a little bit more about functions' return types being on
their own line than the penalty 0 would suggest, so this was adjusted,
too.
Finally, we do not particularly fancy breaking before the first parameter
in a call, but if it keeps the line shorter than 80 columns/line, that's
what we do, so lower the penalty for breaking before a call's first
parameter, but not quite as much as introducing new line breaks to
comments.

fast-import: checkpoint: dump branches/tags/marks even if object_count==0
The checkpoint command cycles packfiles if object_count != 0, a sensible
test or there would be no pack files to write. Since 820b931012, the
command also dumps branches, tags and marks, but still conditionally.
However, it is possible for a command stream to modify refs or create
marks without creating any new objects.
For example, reset a branch (and keep fast-import running):
$ git fast-import
reset refs/heads/master
from refs/heads/master^
checkpoint
but refs/heads/master remains unchanged.
Other example: a commit command that re-creates an object that already
exists in the object database.
The man page also states that checkpoint "updates the refs" and that
"placing a progress command immediately after a checkpoint will inform
the reader when the checkpoint has been completed and it can safely
access the refs that fast-import updated". This wasn't always true
without this patch.
This fix unconditionally calls dump_{branches,tags,marks}() for all
checkpoint commands. dump_branches() and dump_tags() are cheap to call
in the case of a no-op.
Add tests to t9300 that observe the (non-packfiles) effects of

submodule: correct error message for missing commits
When a submodule diff should be displayed we currently just add the
submodule objects to the main object store and then e.g. walk the
revision graph and create a summary for that submodule.
It is possible that we are missing the submodule either completely or
partially, which we currently differentiate with different error messages
depending on whether (1) the whole submodule object store is missing or
(2) just the needed for this particular diff. (1) is reported as
"not initialized", and (2) is reported as "commits not present".
If a submodule is deinit'ed its repository data is still around inside
the superproject, such that the diff can still be produced. In that way
the error message (1) is misleading as we can have a diff despite the
submodule being not initialized.
Downgrade the error message (1) to be the same as (2) and just say
the commits are not present, as that is the true reason why the diff
cannot be shown.

Some tools like IDEs or fancy editors may periodically run
commands like "git status" in the background to keep track
of the state of the repository. Some of these commands may
refresh the index and write out the result in an
opportunistic way: if they can get the index lock, then they
update the on-disk index with any updates they find. And if
not, then their in-core refresh is lost and just has to be
recomputed by the next caller.
But taking the index lock may conflict with other operations
in the repository. Especially ones that the user is doing
themselves, which _aren't_ opportunistic. In other words,
"git status" knows how to back off when somebody else is
holding the lock, but other commands don't know that status
would be happy to drop the lock if somebody else wanted it.
There are a couple possible solutions:
1. Have some kind of "pseudo-lock" that allows other
commands to tell status that they want the lock.
This is likely to be complicated and error-prone to
implement (and maybe even impossible with just
dotlocks to work from, as it requires some
inter-process communication).
2. Avoid background runs of commands like "git status"
that want to do opportunistic updates, preferring
instead plumbing like diff-files, etc.
This is awkward for a couple of reasons. One is that
"status --porcelain" reports a lot more about the
repository state than is available from individual
plumbing commands. And two is that we actually _do_
want to see the refreshed index. We just don't want to
take a lock or write out the result. Whereas commands
like diff-files expect us to refresh the index
separately and write it to disk so that they can depend
on the result. But that write is exactly what we're
trying to avoid.
3. Ask "status" not to lock or write the index.
This is easy to implement. The big downside is that any
work done in refreshing the index for such a call is
lost when the process exits. So a background process
may end up re-hashing a changed file multiple times
until the user runs a command that does an index
refresh themselves.
This patch implements the option 3. The idea (and the test)
is largely stolen from a Git for Windows patch by Johannes
Schindelin, 67e5ce7f63 (status: offer *not* to lock the
index and update it, 2016-08-12). The twist here is that
instead of making this an option to "git status", it becomes
a "git" option and matching environment variable.
The reason there is two-fold:
1. An environment variable is carried through to
sub-processes. And whether an invocation is a
background process or not should apply to the whole
process tree. So you could do "git --no-optional-locks
foo", and if "foo" is a script or alias that calls
"status", you'll still get the effect.
2. There may be other programs that want the same
treatment.
I've punted here on finding more callers to convert,
since "status" is the obvious one to call as a repeated
background job. But "git diff"'s opportunistic refresh
of the index may be a good candidate.
The test is taken from 67e5ce7f63, and it's worth repeating
Johannes's explanation:
Note that the regression test added in this commit does
not *really* verify that no index.lock file was written;
that test is not possible in a portable way. Instead, we
verify that .git/index is rewritten *only* when `git
status` is run without `--no-optional-locks`.

validate_headref: use get_oid_hex for detached HEADs
If a candidate HEAD isn't a symref, we check that it
contains a viable sha1. But in a post-sha1 world, we should
be checking whether it has any plausible object-id.
We can do that by switching to get_oid_hex().
Note that both before and after this patch, we only check
for a plausible object id at the start of the file, and then
call that good enough. We ignore any content _after_ the
hex, so a string like:
is accepted. Though we do put extra bytes like this into
some pseudorefs (e.g., FETCH_HEAD), we don't typically do so
with HEAD. We could tighten this up by using parse_oid_hex(),
like:
But we're probably better to remain on the loose side. We're

directory, so heuristics are acceptable (if we really want
to be meticulous, we should use the actual ref code to parse
HEAD).

validate_headref: use skip_prefix for symref parsing

"refname", since that is the thing we are parsing with it.

When we are checking to see if we have a git repo, we peek
into the HEAD file and see if it's a plausible symlink,
symref, or detached HEAD.
For the latter two, we read the contents with read_in_full(),
which means they aren't NUL-terminated. The symref check is
careful to respect the length we got, but the sha1 check
will happily parse up to 40 bytes, even if we read fewer.
E.g.,:
echo 1234 >.git/HEAD
git rev-parse
will parse 36 uninitialized bytes from our stack buffer.
This isn't a big deal in practice. Our buffer is 256 bytes,
so we know we'll never read outside of it. The worst case is
that the uninitialized bytes look like valid hex, and we
claim a bogus HEAD file is valid. The chances of this
happening randomly are quite slim, but let's be careful.
One option would be to check that "len == 41" before feeding
the buffer to get_sha1_hex(). But we'd like to eventually
prepare for a world with variable-length hashes. Let's
NUL-terminate as soon as we've read the buffer (we already
even leave a spare byte to do so!). That fixes this problem
without depending on the size of an object id.

distinguish error versus short read from read_in_full()
Many callers of read_in_full() expect to see the exact

avoid looking at errno for short read_in_full() returns
When a caller tries to read a particular set of bytes via
read_in_full(), there are three possible outcomes:
1. An error, in which case -1 is returned and errno is
set.
2. A short read, in which fewer bytes are returned and
errno is unspecified (we never saw a read error, so we
may have some random value from whatever syscall failed
last).
3. The full read completed successfully.
Many callers handle cases 1 and 2 together by just checking
the result against the requested size. If their combined
error path looks at errno (e.g., by calling die_errno), they
may report a nonsense value.
Let's fix these sites by having them distinguish between the
two error cases. That avoids the random errno confusion, and
lets us give more detailed error messages.

Comparing the result of read_in_full() using less-than is
potentially dangerous, as a negative return value may be
converted to an unsigned type and be considered a success.
This is discussed further in 561598cfcf (read_pack_header:
handle signed/unsigned comparison in read result,
2017-09-13).
Each of these instances is actually fine in practice:
- in get-tar-commit-id, the HEADERSIZE macro expands to a
signed integer. If it were switched to an unsigned type
(e.g., a size_t), then it would be a bug.
- the other two callers check for a short read only after
handling a negative return separately. This is a fine
practice, but we'd prefer to model "!=" as a general
rule.
So all of these cases can be considered cleanups and not
actual bugfixes.

mmapped_ref_iterator: inline into `packed_ref_iterator`
Since `packed_ref_iterator` is now delegating to
`mmapped_ref_iterator` rather than `cache_ref_iterator` to do the
heavy lifting, there is no need to keep the two iterators separate. So
"inline" `mmapped_ref_iterator` into `packed_ref_iterator`. This
removes a bunch of boilerplate.

ref_cache: remove support for storing peeled values
Now that the `packed-refs` backend doesn't use `ref_cache`, there is
nobody left who might want to store peeled values of references in
`ref_cache`. So remove that feature.

packed_ref_store: get rid of the `ref_cache` entirely
Now that everything has been changed to read what it needs directly
out of the `packed-refs` file, `packed_ref_store` doesn't need to
maintain a `ref_cache` at all. So get rid of it.
First of all, this will save a lot of memory and lots of little
allocations. Instead of needing to store complicated parsed data
structures in memory, we just mmap the file (potentially sharing
memory with other processes) and parse only what we need.
Moreover, since the mmapped access to the file reads only the parts of
the file that it needs, this might save reading all of the data from
disk at all (at least if the file starts out sorted).

We're about to stop storing packed refs in a `ref_cache`. That means
that the only way we have left to optimize `peel_ref()` is by checking
whether the reference being peeled is the one currently being iterated
over (in `current_ref_iter`), and if so, using `ref_iterator_peel()`.
But this can be done generically; it doesn't have to be implemented
per-backend.
So implement `refs_peel_ref()` in `refs.c` and remove the `peel_ref()`
method from the refs API.
This removes the last callers of a couple of functions, so delete
them. More cleanup to come...

packed_ref_iterator_begin(): iterate using `mmapped_ref_iterator`
Now that we have an efficient way to iterate, in order, over the
mmapped contents of the `packed-refs` file, we can use that directly
to implement reference iteration for the `packed_ref_store`, rather
than iterating over the `ref_cache`. This is the next step towards
getting rid of the `ref_cache` entirely.

read_packed_refs(): ensure that references are ordered when read
It doesn't actually matter now, because the references are only
iterated over to fill the associated `ref_cache`, which itself puts
them in the correct order. But we want to get rid of the `ref_cache`,
so we want to be able to iterate directly over the `packed-refs`
buffer, and then the iteration will need to be ordered correctly.
In fact, we already write the `packed-refs` file sorted, but it is
possible that other Git clients don't get it right. So let's not
assume that a `packed-refs` file is sorted unless it is explicitly
declared to be so via a `sorted` trait in its header line.
If it is *not* declared to be sorted, then scan quickly through the
file to check. If it is found to be out of order, then sort the
records into a new memory-only copy. This checking and sorting is done
quickly, without parsing the full file contents. However, it needs a
little bit of care to avoid reading past the end of the buffer even if
the `packed-refs` file is corrupt.
Since *we* always write the file correctly sorted, include that trait
when we write or rewrite a `packed-refs` file. This means that the
scan described in the previous paragraph should only have to be done
for `packed-refs` files that were written by older versions of the Git
command-line client, or by other clients that haven't yet learned to
write the `sorted` trait.
If `packed-refs` was already sorted, then (if the system allows it) we
can use the mmapped file contents directly. But if the system doesn't
allow a file that is currently mmapped to be replaced using
`rename()`, then it would be bad for us to keep the file mmapped for
any longer than necessary. So, on such systems, always make a copy of
the file contents, either as part of the sorting process, or
afterwards.

packed_ref_cache: keep the `packed-refs` file mmapped if possible
Keep a copy of the `packed-refs` file contents in memory for as long
as a `packed_ref_cache` object is in use:
* If the system allows it, keep the `packed-refs` file mmapped.
* If not (either because the system doesn't support `mmap()` at all,
or because a file that is currently mmapped cannot be replaced via
`rename()`), then make a copy of the file's contents in
heap-allocated space, and keep that around instead.
We base the choice of behavior on a new build-time switch,
`MMAP_PREVENTS_DELETE`. By default, this switch is set for Windows
variants.
After this commit, `MMAP_NONE` and `MMAP_TEMPORARY` are still handled
identically. But the next commit will introduce a difference.
This whole change is still pointless, because we only read the
`packed-refs` file contents immediately after instantiating the
`packed_ref_cache`. But that will soon change.

mmapped_ref_iterator: add iterator over a packed-refs file
Add a new `mmapped_ref_iterator`, which can iterate over the
references in an mmapped `packed-refs` file directly. Use this
iterator from `read_packed_refs()` to fill the packed refs cache.
Note that we are not yet willing to promise that the new iterator
generates its output in order. That doesn't matter for now, because
the packed refs cache doesn't care what order it is filled.
This change adds a lot of boilerplate without providing any obvious
benefits. The benefits will come soon, when we get rid of the
`ref_cache` for packed references altogether.

packed_ref_cache: remember the file-wide peeling state
Rather than store the peeling state (i.e., the one defined by traits
in the `packed-refs` file header line) in a local variable in
`read_packed_refs()`, store it permanently in `packed_ref_cache`. This
will be needed when we stop reading all packed refs at once.

read_packed_refs(): read references with minimal copying
Instead of copying data from the `packed-refs` file one line at time
and then processing it, process the data in place as much as possible.
Also, instead of processing one line per iteration of the main loop,
process a reference line plus its corresponding peeled line (if
present) together.
Note that this change slightly tightens up the parsing of the
`packed-refs` file. Previously, the parser would have accepted
multiple "peeled" lines for a single reference (ignoring all but the
last one). Now it would reject that.

The ability to exclude paths with a negative pathspec is not mentioned
in the man pages for git grep and other commands where it might be
useful.
Add an example and a pointer to the pathspec glossary entry in the man
page for git grep to help the user to discover this ability.
Add similar pointers from the git-add and git-status man pages.
Additionally,
- Add a test for the behaviour when multiple exclusions are present.
- Add a test for the ^ alias.
- Improve name of existing test.
- Improve grammar in glossary description of the exclude pathspec.
