cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary search, part 2
Calculating the sum of two array indexes to find the midpoint between
them can overflow, i.e. code like this is unsafe for big arrays:
mid = (first + last) >> 1;
Make sure the intermediate value stays within the boundaries instead,
like this:
mid = first + ((last - first) >> 1);
The loop condition of the binary search makes sure that 'last' is
always greater than 'first', so this is safe as long as 'first' is
not negative. And that can be verified easily using the pre-context
of each change, except for name-hash.c, so add an assertion to that
effect there.
The unsafe calculations were found with:
git grep '(.*+.*) *>> *1'

Commit fecc6f3a68 ("add -p: adjust offsets of subsequent hunks when one is
skipped", 2018-03-01) fixed adding hunks in the correct place when a
previous hunk has been skipped. However it did not address patches that
are applied in reverse. In that case we need to adjust the pre-image
offset so that when apply reverses the patch the post-image offset is
adjusted correctly. We subtract rather than add the delta as the patch
is reversed (the easiest way to think about it is to consider a hunk of
deletions that is skipped - in that case we want to reduce offset so we
need to subtract).

packfile: rename close_all_packs to close_object_store
The close_all_packs() method is now responsible for more than just pack-files.
It also closes the commit-graph and the multi-pack-index. Rename the function

input parameter is a raw_object_store.

The close_all_packs() method is used to close all read handles to
pack-files and the multi-pack-index before running 'git gc --auto'.
This is particularly important on the Windows platform, where read
handles block any writes to those files. Replacing one of these
files with a rename() will fail in this situation.
The commit-graph also performs a rename, so is susceptable to this
problem. We are careful to close the commit-graph before writing,
but that doesn't work when a 'git fetch' (or similar) process runs
'git gc --auto' which may write a commit-graph.
Here, close the commit-graph as part of close_all_packs().

The commit-graph feature began with a long list of planned
benefits, most of which are now complete. The future work
section has only a few items left.
As for making more algorithms aware of generation numbers,
some are only waiting for generation number v2 to ensure the
performance matches the existing behavior using commit date.
It is unlikely that we will ever send a commit-graph file
as part of the protocol, since we would need to verify the
data, and that is expensive. If we want to start trusting
remote content, then that item can be investigated again.
While there is more work to be done on the feature, having
a section of the docs devoted to a TODO list is wasteful and
hard to keep up-to-date.

The write_commit_graph() method uses die() to report failure and
exit when confronted with an unexpected condition. This use of
die() in a library function is incorrect and is now replaced by
error() statements and an int return type. Return zero on success
and a negative value on failure.
Now that we use 'goto cleanup' to jump to the terminal condition
on an error, we have new paths that could lead to uninitialized
values. New initializers are added to correct for this.
The builtins 'commit-graph', 'gc', and 'commit' call these methods,
so update them to check the return value. Test that 'git commit-graph
write' returns a proper error code when hitting a failure condition
in write_commit_graph().

completion: do not cache if --git-completion-helper fails
"git <cmd> --git-completion-helper" could fail if the command checks for
a repo before parse_options(). If the result is cached, later on when
the user moves to a worktree with repo, tab completion will still fail.
Avoid this by detecting errors and not cache the completion output. We
can try again and hopefully succeed next time (e.g. when a repo is
found).
Of course if --git-completion-helper fails permanently because of other
reasons (*), this will slow down completion. But I don't see any better
option to handle that case.
(*) one of those cases is if __gitcomp_builtin is called on a command
that does not support --git-completion-helper. And we do have a
generic call
__git_complete_common "$command"
but this case is protected with __git_support_parseopt_helper so we're
good.

When fetching into a partial clone, Git first prefetches missing
REF_DELTA bases from the promisor remote. (This feature was introduced
in [1].) But as can be seen in a recent test coverage report [2], the
case in which a REF_DELTA base is already present is not covered by
tests.
t5616: use correct flag to check object is missing
If we want to check whether an object is missing, the correct flag to
pass to rev-list is --ignore-missing; --exclude-promisor-objects will
exclude any object that came from the promisor remote, whether it is
present or missing. Use the correct flag.

merge-recursive: restore accidentally dropped setting of path
In commit 8daec1df03de ("merge-recursive: switch from (oid,mode) pairs
to a diff_filespec", 2019-04-05), we actually switched from
(oid,mode,path) triplets to a diff_filespec -- but most callsites in the
patch only needed to worry about oid and mode so the commit message
focused on that. The oversight in the commit message apparently spilled
over to the code as well; one of the dozen or so callsites accidentally
dropped the setting of the path in the conversion. Restore the path
setting in that location.
Also, this pointed out that our testsuite was lacking a good rename/add
test, at least one that involved the need for merge content with the
rename. Add such a test, and since rename/add vs. add/rename could
possibly be important, redo the merge the opposite direction to make
sure we don't have issues with the direction of the merge. These
testcases failed before restoring the setting of path, but with the
paths appropriately set the testcases both pass.
