merge-recursive: avoid incorporating uncommitted changes in a merge
builtin/merge.c contains this important requirement for merge strategies:
/*
* At this point, we need a real merge. No matter what strategy
* we use, it would operate on the index, possibly affecting the
* working tree, and when resolved cleanly, have the desired
* tree in the index -- this means that the index must be in
* sync with the head commit. The strategies are responsible
* to ensure this.
*/
merge-recursive does not do this check directly, instead it relies on
unpack_trees() to do it. However, merge_trees() has a special check for
the merge branch exactly matching the merge base; when it detects that
situation, it returns early without calling unpack_trees(), because it
knows that the HEAD commit already has the correct result. Unfortunately,
it didn't check that the index matched HEAD, so after it returned, the
outer logic ended up creating a merge commit that included something
other than HEAD.

t6044: recursive can silently incorporate dirty changes in a merge
The recursive merge strategy has some special handling when the tree for
the merge branch exactly matches the merge base, but that code path is
missing checks for the index having changes relative to HEAD. Add a

The code internal to the recursive merge strategy was not fully
prepared to see a path that is renamed to try overwriting another
path that is only different in case on case insensitive systems.
This does not matter in the current code, but will start to matter
once the rename detection logic starts taking hints from nearby
paths moving to some directory and moves a new path along with them.
Historically, the diff machinery for rename detection had a
hardcoded limit of 32k paths; this is being lifted to allow users

launch_editor(): indicate that Git waits for user input
When a graphical GIT_EDITOR is spawned by a Git command that opens
and waits for user input (e.g. "git rebase -i"), then the editor window
might be obscured by other windows. The user might be left staring at
the original Git terminal window without even realizing that s/he needs
to interact with another window before Git can proceed. To this user Git
appears hanging.
Print a message that Git is waiting for editor input in the original
terminal and get rid of it when the editor returns, if the terminal
supports erasing the last line. Also, make sure that our message is
terminated with a whitespace so that any message the editor may show
upon starting up will be kept separate from our message.
Power users might not want to see this message or their editor might
already print such a message (e.g. emacsclient). Allow these users to
suppress the message by disabling the "advice.waitingForEditor" config.
The standard advise() function is not used here as it would always add
a newline which would make deleting the message harder.

diff-tree: read the index so attribute checks work in bare repositories
A regression was introduced in 557a5998d (submodule: remove
gitmodules_config, 2017-08-03) to how attribute processing was handled
in bare repositories when running the diff-tree command.
By default the attribute system will first try to read ".gitattribute"
files from the working tree and then falls back to reading them from the
index if there isn't a copy checked out in the worktree. Prior to 557a5998d the index was read as a side effect of the call to
'gitmodules_config()' which ensured that the index was already populated
before entering the attribute subsystem.
Since the call to 'gitmodules_config()' was removed the index is no
longer being read so when the attribute system tries to read from the
in-memory index it doesn't find any ".gitattribute" entries effectively
ignoring any configured attributes.
Fix this by explicitly reading the index during the setup of diff-tree.

worktree: add --guess-remote flag to add subcommand

It's sometimes useful to have 'git worktree add <path> behave more like
the dwim machinery in 'git checkout <new-branch>', i.e. check if the new
branch name, derived from the basename of the <path>, uniquely matches
the branch name of a remote-tracking branch, and if so check out that
branch and set the upstream to the remote-tracking branch.

and each of them is executed and its output compared with an
expected one stored in t4013/ directory. Allow these lines to begin
with a colon followed by magic word(s) so that test conditions can
easily be tweaked.
The expected use that will happen in later steps of this is to run
tests expecting the traditional output and run the same test without
the GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS=yes environment exported for (perhaps
some of) them, which will have to expect different output. Since
all of the existing tests are meant to run with the environment,
use the magic word "noellipses" to cause the variable not to be set
and exported.
As this step does not add any new test with the magic word, all
tests still run with the environment variable, expecting the
traditional output, but it will change soon.

pathspec: only match across submodule boundaries when requested
Commit 74ed43711fd (grep: enable recurse-submodules to work on <tree>
objects, 2016-12-16) taught 'tree_entry_interesting()' to be able to
match across submodule boundaries in the presence of wildcards. This is
done by performing literal matching up to the first wildcard and then
punting to the submodule itself to perform more accurate pattern
matching. Instead of introducing a new flag to request this behavior,
commit 74ed43711fd overloaded the already existing 'recursive' flag in
'struct pathspec' to request this behavior.
This leads to a bug where whenever any other caller has the 'recursive'
flag set as well as a pathspec with wildcards that all submodules will
be indicated as matches. One simple example of this is:
Fix this by introducing the new flag 'recurse_submodules' in 'struct
pathspec' and using this flag to determine if matches should be allowed
to cross submodule boundaries.

Since 180a9f2268 (provide a facility for "delayed" progress
reporting, 2007-04-20), the progress code has allowed
callers to skip showing progress if they have reached a
percentage-threshold of the total work before the delay
period passes.
But since 8aade107dd (progress: simplify "delayed" progress
API, 2017-08-19), that parameter is not available to outside
callers (we always passed zero after that commit, though
that was corrected in the previous commit to "100%").

progress: set default delay threshold to 100%, not 0%
Commit 8aade107dd (progress: simplify "delayed" progress
API, 2017-08-19) dropped the parameter by which callers
could say "show my progress only if I haven't passed M%
progress after N seconds". The intent was to just show
nothing for 2 seconds, and then always progress after that.
But we flipped the logic in the wrapper: it sets M=0,
meaning that we'd almost _never_ show progress after 2
seconds, since we'd generally have made some progress. This
should have been 100%, not 0%.
We were fooled by existing calls like:
start_progress_delay("foo", 0, 0, 2);
which behaved this way. The trick is that the first "0"
there is "how many items total", and there zero means "we
don't know". And without knowing that, we cannot compute a
completed percent at all, and we ignored the threshold
parameter entirely! Modeling our wrapper after that broke
callers which pass a non-zero value for "total".
We can switch to the intended behavior by using "100" in the
wrapper call.

sha1_file: use strbuf_add() instead of strbuf_addf()
Replace use of strbuf_addf() with strbuf_add() when enumerating
loose objects in for_each_file_in_obj_subdir(). Since we already
check the length and hex-values of the string before consuming
the path, we can prevent extra computation by using the lower-
level method.
One consumer of for_each_file_in_obj_subdir() is the abbreviation
code. OID abbreviations use a cached list of loose objects (per
object subdirectory) to make repeated queries fast, but there is
significant cache load time when there are many loose objects.
Most repositories do not have many loose objects before repacking,
but in the GVFS case the repos can grow to have millions of loose
objects. Profiling 'git log' performance in GitForWindows on a
GVFS-enabled repo with ~2.5 million loose objects revealed 12% of
the CPU time was spent in strbuf_addf().
Add a new performance test to p4211-line-log.sh that is more
sensitive to this cache-loading. By limiting to 1000 commits, we
more closely resemble user wait time when reading history into a
pager.
For a copy of the Linux repo with two ~512 MB packfiles and ~572K
loose objects, running 'git log --oneline --parents --raw -1000'

diffcore-rename: make diff-tree -l0 mean -l<large>
In the documentation of diff-tree, it is stated that the -l option
"prevents rename/copy detection from running if the number of

implementation before commit 9f7e4bfa3b ("diff: remove silent clamp of

the rename limit is to be a very large number instead.
The commit 9f7e4bfa3b changed that behavior, treating 0 as 0. Revert
this behavior to what it was previously. This allows existing scripts
and tools that use "-l0" to continue working. The alternative (to have
"-l0" suppress rename detection) is probably much less useful, since
users can just refrain from specifying -M and/or -C to have the same
effect.
