commit-reach: fix cast in compare_commits_by_gen()
The elements of the array to be sorted are commit pointers, so the

pointers to commit objects. Cast to the right type and dereference

diff: don't attempt to strip prefix from absolute Windows paths
git diff can be invoked with absolute paths. Typically, this triggers
the --no-index case. Then the absolute paths remain in the file names
that are printed in the output.
There is one peculiarity, though: When the command is invoked from a
a sub-directory in a repository, then it is attempted to strip the
sub-directory from the beginning of relative paths. Yet, to detect a
relative path the code just checks for an initial forward slash.
This mistakes a Windows style path like "D:/base" as a relative path
and the output looks like this, for example:
If the sub-directory where 'git diff' is invoked is sufficiently deep
that the prefix becomes longer than the path to be printed, then the
subsequent code accesses the path out of bounds.
Use is_absolute_path() to detect Windows style absolute paths.
One might wonder whether the check for a directory separator that
is visible in the patch context should be changed from == '/' to
is_dir_sep() or not. It turns out not to be necessary. That code
only ever investigates paths that have undergone pathspec
normalization, after which there are only forward slashes even on
Windows.

receive: denyCurrentBranch=updateinstead should not blindly update
The handling of receive.denyCurrentBranch=updateInstead was added to
a switch statement that handles other values of the variable, but
all the other case arms only checked a condition to reject the
attempted push, or let later logic in the same function to still
intervene, so that a push that does not fast-forward (which is
checked after the switch statement in question) is still rejected.
But the handling of updateInstead incorrectly took immediate effect,
without giving other checks a chance to intervene.
Instead of calling update_worktree() that causes the side effect
immediately, just note the fact that we will need to call the
function later, and first give other checks a chance to reject the
request. After the update-hook gets a chance to reject the push
(which happens as the last step in a series of checks), call
update_worktree() when we earlier detected the need to.

pack-objects (mingw): initialize `packing_data` mutex in the correct spot
In 9ac3f0e5b3e4 (pack-objects: fix performance issues on packing large
deltas, 2018-07-22), a mutex was introduced that is used to guard the
call to set the delta size. This commit even added code to initialize
it, but at an incorrect spot: in `init_threaded_search()`, while the
call to `oe_set_delta_size()` (and hence to `packing_data_lock()`) can
happen in the call chain `check_object()` <- `get_object_details()` <-
`prepare_pack()` <- `cmd_pack_objects()`, which is long before the
`prepare_pack()` function calls `ll_find_deltas()` (which initializes
the threaded search).
Another tell-tale that the mutex was initialized in an incorrect spot is
that the function to initialize it lives in builtin/, while the code
that uses the mutex is defined in a libgit.a header file.
Let's use a more appropriate function: `prepare_packing_data()`, which
not only lives in libgit.a, but *has* to be called before the
`packing_data` struct is used that contains that mutex.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1839.

In a partial clone that will lazily be hydrated from the
originating repository, we generally want to avoid "does this
object exist (locally)?" on objects that we deliberately omitted
when we created the clone. The cache-tree codepath (which is used
to write a tree object out of the index) however insisted that the
object exists, even for paths that are outside of the partial
checkout area. The code has been updated to avoid such a check.
* jt/cache-tree-allow-missing-object-in-partial-clone:
cache-tree: skip some blob checks in partial clone
When pushing into a repository that borrows its objects from an
alternate object store, "git receive-pack" that responds to the
push request on the other side lists the tips of refs in the
alternate to reduce the amount of objects transferred. This
sometimes is detrimental when the number of refs in the alternate
is absurdly large, in which case the bandwidth saved in potentially
fewer objects transferred is wasted in excessively large ref
advertisement. The alternate refs that are advertised are now
configurable with a pair of configuration variables.
* tb/filter-alternate-refs:
transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsPrefixes
transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsCommand
transport.c: extract 'fill_alternate_refs_command'
transport: drop refnames from for_each_alternate_ref
Over some transports, fetching objects with an exact commit object
name can be done without first seeing the ref advertisements. The
code has been optimized to exploit this.
* jt/avoid-ls-refs:
fetch: do not list refs if fetching only hashes
transport: list refs before fetch if necessary
transport: do not list refs if possible
transport: allow skipping of ref listing
A partial clone that is configured to lazily fetch missing objects
will on-demand issue a "git fetch" request to the originating
repository to fill not-yet-obtained objects. The request has been
optimized for requesting a tree object (and not the leaf blob
objects contained in it) by telling the originating repository that
no blobs are needed.
* jt/non-blob-lazy-fetch:
fetch-pack: exclude blobs when lazy-fetching trees
fetch-pack: avoid object flags if no_dependents
The oidset API was built on top of the oidmap API which in turn is
on the hashmap API. Replace the implementation to build on top of
the khash API and gain performance.
* rs/oidset-on-khash:
oidset: uninline oidset_init()
oidset: use khash
khash: factor out kh_release_*
fetch-pack: load tip_oids eagerly iff needed
fetch-pack: factor out is_unmatched_ref()
Unlike "grep", "git grep" by default recurses to the whole tree.
The command learned "git grep --recursive" option, so that "git
grep --no-recursive" can serve as a synonym to setting the
max-depth to 0.
"git help -a" and "git help -av" give different pieces of
information, and generally the "verbose" version is more friendly
to the new users. "git help -a" by default now uses the more
verbose output (with "--no-verbose", you can go back to the
original). Also "git help -av" now lists aliases and external
commands, which it did not used to.
* nd/help-commands-verbose-by-default:
help -a: improve and make --verbose default
"git fetch $repo $object" in a partial clone did not correctly
fetch the asked-for object that is referenced by an object in
promisor packfile, which has been fixed.
* jt/fetch-tips-in-partial-clone:
fetch: in partial clone, check presence of targets
connected: document connectivity in partial clones
A new extension to the index file has been introduced, which allows
the file to be read in parallel.

config: add new index.threads config setting
eoie: add End of Index Entry (EOIE) extension
read-cache: clean up casting and byte decoding
read-cache.c: optimize reading index format v4
Some environment variables that control the runtime options of Git
used during tests are getting renamed for consistency.
* bp/rename-test-env-var:

preload-index: update GIT_FORCE_PRELOAD_TEST support

preload-index: use git_env_bool() not getenv() for customization
t/README: correct spelling of "uncommon"
Code clean-up in the internal machinery used by "git status" and
"git commit --dry-run".
* ss/wt-status-committable:

wt-status.c: set the committable flag in the collect phase
t7501: add test of "commit --dry-run --short"
wt-status: rename commitable to committable

The algorithm in can_all_from_reach_with_flags() performs a depth-
first-search, terminated by generation number, intending to use
a hueristic that "important" commits are found in the first-parent
history. This heuristic is valuable in scenarios like fetch
negotiation.
However, there is a problem! After the search finds a target commit,
it should pop all commits off the stack and mark them as "can reach".
This logic is incorrect, so the algorithm instead walks all reachable
commits above the generation-number cutoff.
The existing algorithm is still an improvement over the previous
algorithm, as the worst-case complexity went from quadratic to linear.
The performance measurement at the time was good, but not dramatic.
By fixing this heuristic, we reduce the number of walked commits.
We can also re-run the performance tests from commit 4fbcca4e
"commit-reach: make can_all_from_reach... linear".
Performance was measured on the Linux repository using
'test-tool reach can_all_from_reach'. The input included rows seeded by
tag values. The "small" case included X-rows as v4.[0-9]* and Y-rows as
v3.[0-9]*. This mimics a (very large) fetch that says "I have all major
v3 releases and want all major v4 releases." The "large" case included
X-rows as "v4.*" and Y-rows as "v3.*". This adds all release-candidate
tags to the set, which does not greatly increase the number of objects
that are considered, but does increase the number of 'from' commits,
demonstrating the quadratic nature of the previous code.
Small Case:
4fbcca4e~1: 0.85 s 4fbcca4e: 0.26 s (num_walked: 1,011,035)
HEAD: 0.14 s (num_walked: 8,601)
Large Case:
4fbcca4e~1: 24.0 s 4fbcca4e: 0.12 s (num_walked: 503,925)

We explicitly omitted -Wunused-function when we added
-Wextra, but there is no need: the current code compiles
cleanly with it. And it's worth having, since it can let you
know when there are cascading effects from a cleanup (e.g.,
deleting one function lets you delete its static helpers).
There are cases where we may need an unused function to
exist, but we can handle these easily:
- macro-generated code like commit-slab; there we have the
MAYBE_UNUSED annotation to silence the compiler
- conditional compilation, where we may or may not need a
static helper. These generally fall into one of two
categories:
- the call should not be conditional, but rather the
function body itself should be (and may just be a
no-op on one side of the #if). That keeps the
conditional pollution out of the main code.
- call-chains of static helpers should all be in the
same #if block, so they are all-or-nothing
And if there's some case that doesn't cover, we still
have MAYBE_UNUSED as a fallback.

The commit-graph and multi-pack-index features introduce optional
data structures that are not required for normal Git operations.
It is important to run the normal test suite without them enabled,
but it is helpful to also run the test suite using them.
Our continuous integration scripts include a second test stage that
runs with optional GIT_TEST_* variables enabled. Add the following
two variables to that stage:
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH
GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX
This will slow down the operation, as we build a commit-graph file
after every 'git commit' operation and build a multi-pack-index

Generation of (experimental) commit-graph files have so far been
fairly silent, even though it takes noticeable amount of time in a
meaningfully large repository. The users will now see progress
output.
The previous git-p4 unshelve support would check for changes
in Perforce to the files being unshelved since the original
shelve, and would complain if any were found.
This was to ensure that the user wouldn't end up with both the
shelved change delta, and some deltas from other changes in their
git commit.
e.g. given fileA:
the
quick
brown
fox
change1: s/the/The/ <- p4 shelve this change
change2: s/fox/Fox/ <- p4 submit this change
git p4 unshelve 1 <- FAIL
This change teaches the P4Unshelve class to always create a parent
commit which matches the P4 tree (for the files being unshelved) at
the point prior to the P4 shelve being created (which is reported
in the p4 description for a shelved changelist).
That then means git-p4 can always create a git commit matching the
P4 shelve that was originally created, without any extra deltas.
The user might still need to use the --origin option though - there
is no way for git-p4 to work out the versions of all of the other
*unchanged* files in the shelve, since this information is not recorded
by Perforce.
Additionally this fixes handling of shelved 'move' operations.
