files-backend: cheapen refname_available check when locking refs
When locking references in preparation for updating them, we need to
check that none of the newly added references D/F conflict with
existing references (e.g., we don't allow `refs/foo` to be added if
`refs/foo/bar` already exists, or vice versa).
Prior to 524a9fdb51 (refs_verify_refname_available(): use function in
more places, 2017-04-16), conflicts with existing loose references
were checked by looking directly in the filesystem, and then conflicts
with existing packed references were checked by running
`verify_refname_available_dir()` against the packed-refs cache.
But that commit changed the final check to call
`refs_verify_refname_available()` against the *whole* files ref-store,
including both loose and packed references, with the following
comment:
> This means that those callsites now check for conflicts with all
> references rather than just packed refs, but the performance cost
> shouldn't be significant (and will be regained later).
That comment turned out to be too sanguine. User s@kazlauskas.me
reported that fetches involving a very large number of references in
neighboring directories were slowed down by that change.
The problem is that when fetching, each reference is updated
individually, within its own reference transaction. This is done
because some reference updates might succeed even though others fail.
But every time a reference update transaction is finished,
`clear_loose_ref_cache()` is called. So when it is time to update the
next reference, part of the loose ref cache has to be repopulated for
the `refs_verify_refname_available()` call. If the references are all
in neighboring directories, then the cost of repopulating the
reference cache increases with the number of references, resulting in
O(N²) effort.
The comment above also claims that the performance cost "will be
regained later". The idea was that once the packed-refs were finished
being split out into a separate ref-store, we could limit the
`refs_verify_refname_available()` call to the packed references again.
That is what we do now.

sum(1) is a command for calculating checksums of the contents of files.
It was part of early editions of Unix ("Research Unix", 1972/1973, [1]).
cksum(1) appeared in 4.4BSD (1993) as a replacement [2], and became part
of POSIX.1-2008 [3]. OpenBSD 5.6 (2014) removed sum(1).
We only use sum(1) in t1002 to check for changes in three files. On
MinGW we use md5sum(1) instead. We could switch to the standard command
cksum(1) for all platforms; MinGW comes with GNU coreutils now, which
provides sum(1), cksum(1) and md5sum(1). Use our standard method for
checking for file changes instead: test_cmp.
It's more convenient because it shows differences nicely, it's faster on
MinGW because we have a special implementation there based only on
shell-internal commands, it's simpler as it allows us to avoid stripping
out unnecessary entries from the checksum file using grep(1), and it's
more consistent with the rest of the test suite.
We already compare changed files with their expected new contents using
diff(1), so we don't need to check with "test_must_fail test_cmp" if
they differ from their original state. A later patch could convert the
direct diff(1) calls to test_cmp as well.
With all sum(1) calls gone, remove the MinGW-specific implementation
from test-lib.sh as well.

The `no_changes` function calls the `untracked_files` function through

runs ls-files with the '-z' option.
Bash since version 4.4 warns about these null bytes. As they are not
required for the test that is being done, make sure `untracked_files`
does not output null bytes when not required.
This is achieved by adding a parameter to the `untracked_files` function to
specify wither `-z` should be passed to ls-files or not.

format-patch: have progress option while generating patches
When generating patches for the rebase command, if the user does
not realize the branch they are rebasing onto is thousands of
commits different, there is no progress indication after initial
rewinding message.
The progress meter as presented in this patch assumes the thousands of
patches to have a fine granularity as well as assuming to require all
the same amount of work/time for each, such that a steady progress bar
is achieved.
We do not want to estimate the time for each patch based e.g.
on their size or number of touched files (or parents) as that is too
expensive for just a progress meter.
This patch allows a progress option to be passed to format-patch
so that the user can be informed the progress of generating the
patch. This option is then used by the rebase command when
calling format-patch.

If calling git stash -u on a repo that contains a file that is not
ignored any more due to a current modification of the gitignore file,
this file is stashed but not remove from the working tree.
This is due to git-stash first doing a reset --hard which clears the
.gitignore file modification and the call git clean, leaving the file
untouched.
This causes git stash pop to fail due to the file existing.
This patch simply switches the order between cleaning and resetting
and adds a test for this usecase.

sha1_file: drop experimental GIT_USE_LOOKUP search
Long ago in 628522ec14 (sha1-lookup: more memory efficient
search in sorted list of SHA-1, 2007-12-29) we added
sha1_entry_pos(), a binary search that uses the uniform
distribution of sha1s to scale the selection of mid-points.
As this was a performance experiment, we tied it to the
GIT_USE_LOOKUP environment variable and never enabled it by
default.
This code was successful in reducing the number of steps in
each search. But the overhead of the scaling ends up making
it slower when the cache is warm. Here are best-of-five
timings for running rev-list on linux.git, which will have
to look up every object:
$ time git rev-list --objects --all >/dev/null
real 0m35.357s
user 0m35.016s
sys 0m0.340s
$ time GIT_USE_LOOKUP=1 git rev-list --objects --all >/dev/null
real 0m37.364s
user 0m37.045s
sys 0m0.316s
The USE_LOOKUP version might have more benefit on a cold
cache, as the time to fault in each page would dominate. But
that would be for a single lookup. In practice, most
operations tend to look up many objects, and the whole pack
.idx will end up warm.
It's possible that the code could be better optimized to
compete with a naive binary search for the warm-cache case,
and we could have the best of both worlds. But over the
years nobody has done so, and this is largely dead code that
is rarely run outside of the test suite. Let's drop it in
the name of simplicity.
This lets us remove sha1_entry_pos() entirely, as the .idx
lookup code was the only caller. Note that sha1-lookup.c
still contains sha1_pos(), which differs from
sha1_entry_pos() in two ways:
- it has a different interface; it uses a function pointer
to access sha1 entries rather than a size/offset pair
describing the table's memory layout
- it only scales the initial selection of "mi", rather
than each iteration of the search
We can't get rid of this function, as it's called from
several places. It may be that we could replace it with a
simple binary search, but that's out of scope for this patch
(and would need benchmarking).

In 1a812f3a70 (hashcmp(): inline memcmp() by hand to
optimize, 2011-04-28), it was reported that an open-coded
loop outperformed memcmp() for comparing sha1s.
Discussion[1] a few years later in 2013 showed that this
depends on your libc's version of memcmp(). In particular,
glibc 2.13 optimized their memcmp around 2011. Here are
current timings with glibc 2.24 (best-of-five, on
linux.git):
[before this patch, open-coded]
$ time git rev-list --objects --all
real 0m35.357s
user 0m35.016s
sys 0m0.340s
[after this patch, memcmp]
real 0m32.930s
user 0m32.630s
sys 0m0.300s
Now that we've had 6 years for that version of glibc to
make its way onto people's machines, it's worth revisiting
our benchmarks and switching to memcmp().
It may be that there are other non-glibc systems where
memcmp() isn't as well optimized. But since our single data
point in favor of open-coding was on a now-ancient glibc, we
should probably assume the system memcmp is good unless
proven otherwise. We may end up with a SLOW_MEMCMP Makefile
knob, but we can hold off on that until we actually find
such a system in practice.

sha1_file: avoid comparison if no packed hash matches the first byte
find_pack_entry_one() uses the fan-out table of pack indexes to find out
which entries match the first byte of the searched hash and does a
binary search on this subset of the main index table.
If there are no matching entries then lo and hi will have the same
value. The binary search still starts and compares the hash of the
following entry (which has a non-matching first byte, so won't cause any
trouble), or whatever comes after the sorted list of entries.
The probability of that stray comparison matching by mistake is low, but
let's not take any chances and check when entering the binary search

non-0 for true). This means there are two slightly different definitions
of "maybe_bool" in the code-base, and that every time a call to
git_config_maybe_bool is changed to use git_parse_maybe_bool, it risks
breaking someone's workflow.
Move the implementation of "config" into "parse" and make the latter a
trivial wrapper.
This also fixes the only user of git_parse_maybe_bool, `git push
--signed=..`.
Commit 9a549d43 ("config.c: rename git_config_maybe_bool_text and export
it as git_parse_maybe_bool", 2015-08-19) intended git_parse_maybe_bool
to be a replacement for git_config_maybe_bool, which could then be
retired. That is not obvious from the commit message, but that is what
the background on the mailing list suggests [1].
However, git_{config,parse}_maybe_bool do not handle all input the same.
Before the rename, that was by design and there is a caller in config.c
which requires git_parse_maybe_bool to behave exactly as it does.
Prepare for the next patch by renaming git_parse_maybe_bool to ..._text
and reimplementing the first one as a simple call to the second one. Let
the existing users in config.c use ..._text, since it does what they
need.
t5334: document that git push --signed=1 does not work
When accepting booleans as command-line or config options throughout
Git, there are several documented synonyms for true and false.
However, one particular user is slightly broken: `git push --signed=..`
does not understand the integer synonyms for true and false.
This is hardly wanted. The --signed option has a different notion of
boolean than all other arguments and config options, including the
config option corresponding to it, push.gpgSign.
Add a test documenting the failure to handle --signed=1.

Doc/git-{push,send-pack}: correct --sign= to --signed=
Since we're about to touch the behavior of --signed=, do this as a
preparatory step.
The documentation mentions --sign=, and it works. But that's just
because it's an unambiguous abbreviation of --signed, which is how it is
actually implemented. This was added in commit 30261094 ("push: support
signing pushes iff the server supports it", 2015-08-19). Back when that
series was developed [1] [2], there were suggestions about both --sign=
and --signed=. The final implementation settled on --signed=, but some
of the documentation and commit messages ended up using --sign=.
The option is referred to as --signed= in Documentation/config.txt
(under push.gpgSign).
One could argue that we have promised --sign for two years now, so we
should implement it as an alias for --signed. (Then we might also
deprecate the latter, something which was considered already then.) That
would be a slightly more intrusive change.
This minor issue would only be a problem once we want to implement some
other option --signfoo, but the earlier we do this step, the better.
We want to make sure that people who copy & paste code would see
fewer instances of "git-foo". The use of these dashed forms have
been discouraged since v1.6.0 days.
