git-p4: fully support unshelving changelists

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.

http: add support for selecting SSL backends at runtime

As of version 7.56.0, curl supports being compiled with multiple SSL
backends.

This patch adds the Git side of that feature: by setting http.sslBackend
to "openssl" or "schannel", Git for Windows can now choose the SSL
backend at runtime.

This comes in handy on Windows because Secure Channel ("schannel") is
the native solution, accessing the Windows Credential Store, thereby
allowing for enterprise-wide management of certificates. For historical
reasons, Git for Windows needs to support OpenSSL still, as it has
previously been the only supported SSL backend in Git for Windows for
almost a decade.

The patch has been carried in Git for Windows for over a year, and is

split-index: BUG() when cache entry refers to non-existing shared entry

When the split index feature is in use, then a cache entry is:

- either only present in the split index, in which case its 'index'
field must be 0,

- or it should refer to an existing entry in the shared index, i.e.
the 'index' field can't be greater than the size of the shared
index.

If a cache entry were to refer to a non-existing entry in the shared
index, then that's a sign of something being wrong in the index state,
either as a result of a bug in dealing with the split/shared index
entries, or perhaps a (potentially unrelated) memory corruption issue.

prepare_to_write_split_index() already has a condition to catch cache
entries with such bogus 'index' field, but instead of calling BUG() it
just sets cache entry's 'index = 0', and the entry will then be
written to the new split index.

Don't write a new index file from bogus index state, and call BUG()
upon encountering an cache entry referring to a non-existing shared
index entry.

Running the test suite repeatedly with 'GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=yes'
doesn't trigger this condition.

split-index: smudge and add racily clean cache entries to split index

Ever since the split index feature was introduced [1], refreshing a
split index is prone to a variant of the classic racy git problem.

Consider the following sequence of commands updating the split index
when the shared index contains a racily clean cache entry, i.e. an
entry whose cached stat data matches with the corresponding file in
the worktree and the cached mtime matches that of the index:

echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --split-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file # size stays the same!
# ... wait ...
git update-index --add other-file

Normally, when a non-split index is updated, then do_write_index()
(the function responsible for writing all kinds of indexes, "regular",
split, and shared) recognizes racily clean cache entries, and writes
them with smudged stat data, i.e. with file size set to 0. When
subsequent git commands read the index, they will notice that the
smudged stat data doesn't match with the file in the worktree, and
then go on to check the file's content and notice its dirtiness.

In the above example, however, in the second 'git update-index'
prepare_to_write_split_index() decides which cache entries stored only
in the shared index should be replaced in the new split index. Alas,
this function never looks out for racily clean cache entries, and
since the file's stat data in the worktree hasn't changed since the
shared index was written, it won't be replaced in the new split index.
Consequently, do_write_index() doesn't even get this racily clean
cache entry, and can't smudge its stat data. Subsequent git commands
will then see that the index has more recent mtime than the file and
that the (not smudged) cached stat data still matches with the file in
the worktree, and, ultimately, will erroneously consider the file
clean.

Modify prepare_to_write_split_index() to recognize racily clean cache
entries, and mark them to be added to the split index. Note that
there are two places where it should check raciness: first those cache
entries that are only stored in the shared index, and then those that
have been copied by unpack_trees() from the shared index while it
constructed a new index. This way do_write_index() will get these
racily clean cache entries as well, and will then write them with
smudged stat data to the new split index.

This change makes all tests in 't1701-racy-split-index.sh' pass, so
flip the two 'test_expect_failure' tests to success. Also add the '#'
(as in nr. of trial) to those tests' description that were omitted
when the tests expected failure.

Note that after this change if the index is split when it contains a
racily clean cache entry, then a smudged cache entry will be written
both to the new shared and to the new split indexes. This doesn't
affect regular git commands: as far as they are concerned this is just
an entry in the split index replacing an outdated entry in the shared
index. It did affect a few tests in 't1700-split-index.sh', though,
because they actually check which entries are stored in the split
index; a previous patch in this series has already made the necessary
adjustments in 't1700'. And racily clean cache entries and index
splitting are rare enough to not worry about the resulting duplicated
smudged cache entries, and the additional complexity required to
prevent them is not worth it.

Several tests failed occasionally when the test suite was run with
'GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=yes'. Here are those that I managed to trace
back to this racy split index problem, starting with those failing
more frequently, with a link to a failing Travis CI build job for
each. The highlighted line [2] shows when the racy file was written,

split-index: don't compare cached data of entries already marked for split index

When unpack_trees() constructs a new index, it copies cache entries
from the original index [1]. prepare_to_write_split_index() has to
deal with this, and it has a dedicated code path for copied entries
that are present in the shared index, where it compares the cached
data in the corresponding copied and original entries. If the cached
data matches, then they are considered the same; if it differs, then
the copied entry will be marked for inclusion as a replacement entry
in the just about to be written split index by setting the
CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag.

However, a cache entry already has its CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag set upon
reading the split index, if the entry already has a replacement entry
there, or upon refreshing the cached stat data, if the corresponding
file was modified. The state of this flag is then preserved when
unpack_trees() copies a cache entry from the shared index.

So modify prepare_to_write_split_index() to check the copied cache
entries' CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag first, and skip the thorough
comparison of cached data if the flag is already set. Those couple of
lines comparing the cached data would then have too many levels of
indentation, so extract them into a helper function.

Note that comparing the cached data in copied and original entries in
the shared index might actually be entirely unnecessary. In theory
all code paths refreshing the cached stat data of an entry in the
shared index should set the CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag in that entry, and
unpack_trees() should preserve this flag when copying cache entries.
This means that the cached data is only ever changed if the
CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag is set as well. Our test suite seems to
confirm this: instrumenting the conditions in question and running the
test suite repeatedly with 'GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=yes' showed that the
cached data in a copied entry differs from the data in the shared
entry only if its CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag is indeed set.

In practice, however, our test suite doesn't have 100% coverage,
GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX is inherently random, and I certainly can't claim
to possess complete understanding of what goes on in unpack_trees()...
Therefore I kept the comparison of the cached data when
CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE is not set, just in case that an unnoticed or future
code path were to accidentally miss setting this flag upon refreshing
the cached stat data or unpack_trees() were to drop this flag while
copying a cache entry.

[1] Note that when unpack_trees() constructs the new index and decides
that a cache entry should now refer to different content than what
was recorded in the original index (e.g. 'git read-tree -m
HEAD^'), then that can't really be considered a copy of the
original, but rather the creation of a new entry. Notably and
pertinent to the split index feature, such a new entry doesn't
have a reference to the original's shared index entry anymore,
i.e. its 'index' field is set to 0. Consequently, such an entry
is treated by prepare_to_write_split_index() as an entry not
present in the shared index and it will be added to the new split
index, while the original entry will be marked as deleted, and
neither the above discussion nor the changes in this patch apply
to them.

split-index: count the number of deleted entries

'struct split_index' contains the field 'nr_deletions', whose name
with the 'nr_' prefix suggests that it contains the number of deleted
cache entries. However, barring its initialization to 0, this field
is only ever set to 1, indicating that there is at least one deleted
entry, but not the number of deleted entries. Luckily, this doesn't
cause any issues (other than confusing the reader, that is), because
the only place reading this field uses it in the same sense, i.e.: 'if
(si->nr_deletions)'.

To avoid confusion, we could either rename this field to something
like 'has_deletions' to make its name match its role, or make it a
counter of deleted cache entries to match its name.

Let's make it a counter, to keep it in sync with the related field
'nr_replacements', which does contain the number of replaced cache
entries. This will also give developers debugging the split index
code easy access to the number of deleted cache entries.

t1700-split-index: date back files to avoid racy situations

't1700-split-index.sh' checks that the index was split correctly under
various circumstances and that all the different ways to turn the
split index feature on and off work correctly. To do so, most of its
tests use 'test-tool dump-split-index' to see which files have their
cache entries in the split index. All these tests assume that all
cache entries are written to the shared index (called "base"
throughout these tests) when a new shared index is created. This is
an implementation detail: most git commands (basically all except 'git
update-index') don't care or know at all about split index or whether
a cache entry is stored in the split or shared index.

As demonstrated in the previous patch, refreshing a split index is
prone to a variant of the classic racy git issue. The next patch will
fix this issue, but while doing so it will also slightly change this
behaviour: only cache entries with mtime in the past will be written
only to the newly created shared index, but racily clean cache entries
will be written to the new split index (with smudged stat data).

While this upcoming change won't at all affect any git commands, it
will violate the above mentioned assumption of 't1700's tests. Since
these tests create or modify files and create or refresh the split
index in rapid succession, there are plenty of racily clean cache
entries to be dealt with, which will then be written to the new split
indexes, and, ultimately, will cause several tests in 't1700' to fail.

Let's prepare 't1700-split-index.sh' for this upcoming change and
modify its tests to avoid racily clean files by backdating the mtime
of any file modifications (and since a lot of tests create or modify
files, encapsulate it into a helper function).

split-index: add tests to demonstrate the racy split index problem

Ever since the split index feature was introduced [1], refreshing a
split index is prone to a variant of the classic racy git problem.
There are a couple of unrelated tests in the test suite that
occasionally fail when run with 'GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=yes', but
't1700-split-index.sh', the only test script focusing solely on split
index, has never noticed this issue, because it only cares about how
the index is split under various circumstances and all the different
ways to turn the split index feature on and off.

Add a dedicated test script 't1701-racy-split-index.sh' to exercise
the split index feature in racy situations as well; kind of a
"t0010-racy-git.sh for split index" but with modern style (the tests
do everything in &&-chained list of commands in 'test_expect_...'
blocks, and use 'test_cmp' for more informative output on failure).

The tests cover the following sequences of index splitting, updating,
and racy file modifications, with the last two cases demonstrating the
racy split index problem:

1. Split the index while adding a racily clean file:

echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --split-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file # size stays the same

This case already works properly. Even though the cache entry's
stat data matches with the modifid file in the worktree,
subsequent git commands will notice that the (split) index and
the file have the same mtime, and then will go on to check the
file's content and notice its dirtiness.

2. Add a racily clean file to an already split index:

git update-index --split-index
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file

This case already works properly. After the second 'git
update-index' writes the newly added file's cache entry to the
new split index, it basically works in the same way as case #1.

3. Split the index when it (i.e. the not yet splitted index)
contains a racily clean cache entry, i.e. an entry whose cached
stat data matches with the corresponding file in the worktree and
the cached mtime matches that of the index:

echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git update-index --split-index --add other-file

This case already works properly. The shared index is written by
do_write_index(), i.e. the same function that is responsible for
writing "regular" and split indexes as well. This function
cleverly notices the racily clean cache entry, and writes the
entry to the new shared index with smudged stat data, i.e. file
size set to 0. When subsequent git commands read the index, they
will notice that the smudged stat data doesn't match with the
file in the worktree, and then go on to check the file's content
and notice its dirtiness.

4. Update the split index when it contains a racily clean cache
entry:

git update-index --split-index
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git update-index --add other-file

This case already works properly. After the second 'git
update-index' the newly added file's cache entry is only stored
in the split index. If a cache entry is present in the split
index (even if it is a replacement of an outdated entry in the
shared index), then it will always be included in the new split
index on subsequent split index updates (until the file is
removed or a new shared index is written), independently from
whether the entry is racily clean or not. When do_write_index()
writes the new split index, it notices the racily clean cache
entry, and smudges its stat date. Subsequent git commands
reading the index will notice the smudged stat data and then go
on to check the file's content and notice its dirtiness.

5. Update the split index when a racily clean cache entry is stored
only in the shared index:

echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --split-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git update-index --add other-file

This case fails due to the racy split index problem. In the
second 'git update-index' prepare_to_write_split_index() decides,
among other things, which cache entries stored only in the shared
index should be replaced in the new split index. Alas, this
function never looks out for racily clean cache entries, and
since the file's stat data in the worktree hasn't changed since
the shared index was written, the entry won't be replaced in the
new split index. Consequently, do_write_index() doesn't even get
this racily clean cache entry, and can't smudge its stat data.
Subsequent git commands will then see that the index has more
recent mtime than the file and that the (not smudged) cached stat
data still matches with the file in the worktree, and,
ultimately, will erroneously consider the file clean.

6. Update the split index after unpack_trees() copied a racily clean
cache entry from the shared index:

echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --split-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git read-tree -m HEAD

This case fails due to the racy split index problem. This
basically fails for the same reason as case #5 above, but there
is one important difference, which warrants the dedicated test.
While that second 'git update-index' in case #5 updates
index_state in place, in this case 'git read-tree -m' calls
unpack_trees(), which throws out the entire index, and constructs
a new one from the (potentially updated) copies of the original's
cache entries. Consequently, when prepare_to_write_split_index()
gets to work on this reconstructed index, it takes a different
code path than in case #5 when deciding which cache entries in
the shared index should be replaced. The result is the same,
though: the racily clean cache entry goes unnoticed, it isn't
added to the split index with smudged stat data, and subsequent
git commands will then erroneously consider the file clean.

Note that in the last two 'test_expect_failure' cases I omitted the
'#' (as in nr. of trial) from the tests' description on purpose for
now, as it breakes the TAP output [2]; it will be added at the end of
the series, when those two tests will be flipped to
'test_expect_success'.

[1] In the branch leading to the merge commit v2.1.0-rc0~45 (Merge
branch 'nd/split-index', 2014-07-16).

[2] In the TAP output a '#' should separate the test's description
from the TODO directive emitted by 'test_expect_failure'. The
additional '#' in "#$trial" interferes with this, the test harness
won't recognize the TODO directive, and will report that those
tests failed unexpectedly.

the Index Entry Offset Table (IEOT) to divide loading and conversion of
the cache entries across multiple threads in parallel.

I used p0002-read-cache.sh to generate some performance data:

Test w/100,000 files reduced the time by 32.24%
Test w/1,000,000 files reduced the time by -4.77%

Note that on the 1,000,000 files case, multi-threading the cache entry parsing
does not yield a performance win. This is because the cost to parse the
index extensions in this repo, far outweigh the cost of loading the cache
entries.

The high cost of parsing the index extensions is driven by the cache tree
and the untracked cache extensions. As this is currently the longest pole,
any reduction in this time will reduce the overall index load times so is
worth further investigation in another patch series.

ieot: add Index Entry Offset Table (IEOT) extension

This patch enables addressing the CPU cost of loading the index by adding
additional data to the index that will allow us to efficiently multi-
thread the loading and conversion of cache entries.

It accomplishes this by adding an (optional) index extension that is a
table of offsets to blocks of cache entries in the index file. To make
this work for V4 indexes, when writing the cache entries, it periodically
"resets" the prefix-compression by encoding the current entry as if the
path name for the previous entry is completely different and saves the
offset of that entry in the IEOT. Basically, with V4 indexes, it
generates offsets into blocks of prefix-compressed entries.

read-cache: load cache extensions on a worker thread

This patch helps address the CPU cost of loading the index by loading
the cache extensions on a worker thread in parallel with loading the cache
entries.

In some cases, loading the extensions takes longer than loading the
cache entries so this patch utilizes the new EOIE to start the thread to
load the extensions before loading all the cache entries in parallel.

This is possible because the current extensions don't access the cache
entries in the index_state structure so are OK that they don't all exist
yet.

The CACHE_EXT_TREE, CACHE_EXT_RESOLVE_UNDO, and CACHE_EXT_UNTRACKED
extensions don't even get a pointer to the index so don't have access to the
cache entries.

CACHE_EXT_LINK only uses the index_state to initialize the split index.
CACHE_EXT_FSMONITOR only uses the index_state to save the fsmonitor last
update and dirty flags.

I used p0002-read-cache.sh to generate some performance data:

Test w/100,000 files reduced the time by 0.53%
Test w/1,000,000 files reduced the time by 27.78%

eoie: add End of Index Entry (EOIE) extension

The End of Index Entry (EOIE) is used to locate the end of the variable
length index entries and the beginning of the extensions. Code can take
advantage of this to quickly locate the index extensions without having
to parse through all of the index entries.

The EOIE extension is always written out to the index file including to
the shared index when using the split index feature. Because it is always
written out, the SHA checksums in t/t1700-split-index.sh were updated
to reflect its inclusion.

It is written as an optional extension to ensure compatibility with other
git implementations that do not yet support it. It is always written out
to ensure it is available as often as possible to speed up index operations.

Because it must be able to be loaded before the variable length cache
entries and other index extensions, this extension must be written last.
The signature for this extension is { 'E', 'O', 'I', 'E' }.

The extension consists of:

- 32-bit offset to the end of the index entries

- 160-bit SHA-1 over the extension types and their sizes (but not
their contents). E.g. if we have "TREE" extension that is N-bytes
long, "REUC" extension that is M-bytes long, followed by "EOIE",
then the hash would be:

SHA-1("TREE" + <binary representation of N> +
"REUC" + <binary representation of M>)

git.c: handle_alias: prepend alias info when first argument is -h

Most git commands respond to -h anywhere in the command line, or at
least as a first and lone argument, by printing the usage
information. For aliases, we can provide a little more information that
might be useful in interpreting/understanding the following output by
prepending a line telling that the command is an alias, and for what.

When one invokes a simple alias, such as "cp = cherry-pick"
with -h, this results in

$ git cp -h
'cp' is aliased to 'cherry-pick'
usage: git cherry-pick [<options>] <commit-ish>...
...

When the alias consists of more than one word, this provides the
additional benefit of informing the user which options are implicit in
using the alias, e.g. with "cp = cherry-pick -n":

$ git cp -h
'cp' is aliased to 'cherry-pick -n'
usage: git cherry-pick [<options>] <commit-ish>...
...

For shell commands, we cannot know how it responds to -h, but printing
this line to stderr should not hurt, and can help in figuring out what
is happening in a case like

$ git sc -h
'sc' is aliased to '!somecommand'
somecommand: invalid option '-h'

help: redirect to aliased commands for "git cmd --help"

As discussed in the thread for v1 of this patch [1] [2], this changes the
rules for "git foo --help" when foo is an alias.

(1) When invoked as "git help foo", we continue to print the "foo is
aliased to bar" message and nothing else.

(2) If foo is an alias for a shell command, print "foo is aliased to
!bar" as usual.

(3) Otherwise, print "foo is aliased to bar" to the standard error
stream, and then break the alias string into words and pretend as if
"git word[0] --help" were called.

Getting the man page for git-cherry-pick directly with "git cp --help"
is consistent with "--help" generally providing more comprehensive help
than "-h". Printing the alias definition to stderr means that in certain
cases (e.g. if help.format=web or if the pager uses an alternate screen
and does not clear the terminal), one has

'cp' is aliased to 'cherry-pick -n'

above the prompt when one returns to the terminal/quits the pager, which
is a useful reminder that using 'cp' has some flag implicitly set. There
are cases where this information vanishes or gets scrolled
away, but being printed to stderr, it should never hurt.

cache-tree: skip some blob checks in partial clone

In a partial clone, whenever a sparse checkout occurs, the existence of
all blobs in the index is verified, whether they are included or
excluded by the .git/info/sparse-checkout specification. This
significantly degrades performance because a lazy fetch occurs whenever
the existence of a missing blob is checked.

This is because cache_tree_update() checks the existence of all objects
in the index, whether or not CE_SKIP_WORKTREE is set on them. Teach
cache_tree_update() to skip checking CE_SKIP_WORKTREE objects when the
repository is a partial clone. This improves performance for sparse
checkout and also other operations that use cache_tree_update().

Instead of completely removing the check, an argument could be made that
the check should instead be replaced by a check that the blob is
promised, but for performance reasons, I decided not to do this.
If the user needs to verify the repository, it can be done using fsck
(which will notify if a tree points to a missing and non-promised blob,
whether the blob is included or excluded by the sparse-checkout
specification).

contrib: add coverage-diff script

We have coverage targets in our Makefile for using gcov to display line
coverage based on our test suite. The way I like to do it is to run:

make coverage-test
make coverage-report

This leaves the repo in a state where every X.c file that was covered has
an X.c.gcov file containing the coverage counts for every line, and "#####"
at every uncovered line.

There have been a few bugs in recent patches what would have been caught
if the test suite covered those blocks (including a few of mine). I want
to work towards a "sensible" amount of coverage on new topics. In my opinion,
this means that any logic should be covered, but the 'die()' blocks covering
very unlikely (or near-impossible) situations may not warrant coverage.

It is important to not measure the coverage of the codebase by what old code
is not covered. To help, I created the 'contrib/coverage-diff.sh' script.
After creating the coverage statistics at a version (say, 'topic') you can
then run

contrib/coverage-diff.sh base topic

to see the lines added between 'base' and 'topic' that are not covered by the
test suite. The output uses 'git blame -s' format so you can find the commits
responsible and view the line numbers for quick access to the context, but
trims leading tabs in the file contents to reduce output width.

editorconfig: provide editor settings for Git developers

Contributors to Git use a variety of editors, each with their own
configuration files. Because C lacks the defined norms on how to indent
and style code that other languages, such as Ruby and Rust, have, it's
possible for various contributors, especially new ones, to have
configured their editor to use a style other than the style the Git
community prefers.

To make automatically configuring one's editor easier, provide an
EditorConfig file. This is an INI-style configuration file that can be
used to specify editor settings and can be understood by a wide variety
of editors. Some editors include this support natively; others require
a plugin. Regardless, providing such a file allows users to
automatically configure their editor of choice with the correct settings
by default.

Provide global settings to set the character set to UTF-8 and insert a
final newline into files. Provide language-specific settings for C,
Shell, Perl, and Python files according to what CodingGuidelines already
specifies. Since the indentation of other files varies, especially
certain AsciiDoc files, don't provide any settings for them until a
clear consensus forward emerges.

Set the line length for commit messages to 72 characters, which is the
generally accepted line length for emails, since we send patches by
email.

Don't specify an end of line type. While the Git community uses
Unix-style line endings in the repository, some Windows users may use
Git's auto-conversion support and forcing Unix-style line endings might
cause problems for those users.

Finally, leave out a root directive, which would prevent reading other
EditorConfig files higher up in the tree, in case someone wants to set
the end of line type for their system in such a file.

transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsPrefixes

The recently-introduced "core.alternateRefsCommand" allows callers to
specify with high flexibility the tips that they wish to advertise from
alternates. This flexibility comes at the cost of some inconvenience
when the caller only wishes to limit the advertisement to one or more
prefixes.

For example, to advertise only tags, a caller using
'core.alternateRefsCommand' would have to do:

$ git config core.alternateRefsCommand ' \
f() { git -C "$1" for-each-ref \
refs/tags --format="%(objectname)" }; f "$@"'

The above is cumbersome to write, so let's introduce a
"core.alternateRefsPrefixes" to address this common case. Instead, the
caller can run:

$ git config core.alternateRefsPrefixes 'refs/tags'

Which will behave identically to the longer example using
"core.alternateRefsCommand".

Since the value of "core.alternateRefsPrefixes" is appended to 'git
for-each-ref' and then executed, include a "--" before taking the
configured value to avoid misinterpreting arguments as flags to 'git
for-each-ref'.

In the case that the caller wishes to specify multiple prefixes, they
may separate them by whitespace. If "core.alternateRefsCommand" is set,
it will take precedence over "core.alternateRefsPrefixes".

transport.c: introduce core.alternateRefsCommand

When in a repository containing one or more alternates, Git would
sometimes like to list references from those alternates. For example,
'git receive-pack' lists the "tips" pointed to by references in those
alternates as special ".have" references.

Listing ".have" references is designed to make pushing changes from
upstream to a fork a lightweight operation, by advertising to the pusher
that the fork already has the objects (via its alternate). Thus, the
client can avoid sending them.

However, when the alternate (upstream, in the previous example) has a
pathologically large number of references, the initial advertisement is
too expensive. In fact, it can dominate any such optimization where the
pusher avoids sending certain objects.

Introduce "core.alternateRefsCommand" in order to provide a facility to
limit or filter alternate references. This can be used, for example, to
filter out references the alternate does not wish to send (for space
concerns, or otherwise) during the initial advertisement.

Let the repository that has alternates configure this command to avoid
trusting the alternate to provide us a safe command to run in the shell.
To find the alternate, pass its absolute path as the first argument.

transport: list refs before fetch if necessary

The built-in bundle transport and the transport helper interface do not
work when transport_fetch_refs() is called immediately after transport
creation. This will be needed in a subsequent patch, so fix this.

Evidence: fetch_refs_from_bundle() relies on data->header being
initialized in get_refs_from_bundle(), and fetch() in transport-helper.c
relies on either data->fetch or data->import being set by get_helper(),
but neither transport_helper_init() nor fetch() calls get_helper().

Up until the introduction of the partial clone feature, this has not
been a problem, because transport_fetch_refs() is always called after
transport_get_remote_refs(). With the introduction of the partial clone
feature, which involves calling transport_fetch_refs() (to fetch objects
by their OIDs) without transport_get_remote_refs(), this is still not a
problem, but only coincidentally - we do not support partially cloning a
bundle, and as for cloning using a transport-helper-using protocol, it
so happens that before transport_fetch_refs() is called, fetch_refs() in
fetch-object.c calls transport_set_option(), which means that the
aforementioned get_helper() is invoked through set_helper_option() in
transport-helper.c.

This could be fixed by fixing the transports themselves, but it doesn't
seem like a good idea to me to open up previously untested code paths;
also, there may be transport helpers in the wild that assume that "list"
is always called before "fetch". Instead, fix this by having
transport_fetch_refs() call transport_get_remote_refs() to ensure that
the latter is always called at least once, unless the transport
explicitly states that it supports fetching without listing refs.

commit-graph: reduce initial oid allocation

While writing a commit-graph file, we store the full list of
commits in a flat list. We use this list for sorting and ensuring
we are closed under reachability.

The initial allocation assumed that (at most) one in four objects
is a commit. This is a dramatic over-count for many repos,
especially large ones. Since we grow the repo dynamically, reduce
this count by a factor of eight. We still set it to a minimum of
1024 before allocating.

builtin/commit-graph.c: UNLEAK variables

`graph_verify()`, `graph_read()` and `graph_write()` do the hard work of
`cmd_commit_graph()`. As soon as these return, so does
`cmd_commit_graph()`.

`strbuf_getline()` may allocate memory in the strbuf, yet return EOF.
We need to release the strbuf or UNLEAK it. Go for the latter since we
are close to returning from `graph_write()`.

`graph_write()` also fails to free the strings in the string list. They
have been added to the list with `strdup_strings` set to 0. We could
flip `strdup_strings` before clearing the list, which is our usual hack
in situations like this. But since we are about to exit, let's just
UNLEAK the whole string list instead.

UNLEAK `graph` in `graph_verify`. While at it, and for consistency,
UNLEAK in `graph_read()` as well, and remove an unnecessary UNLEAK just
before dying.

commit-graph: clean up leaked memory during write

The write_commit_graph() method in commit-graph.c leaks some lits
and strings during execution. In addition, a list of strings is
leaked in write_commit_graph_reachable(). Clean these up so our
memory checking is cleaner.

Further, if we use a list of pack-files to find the commits, we
can leak the packed_git structs after scanning them for commits.

Running the following commands demonstrates the leak before and
the fix after:

* valgrind --leak-check=full ./git commit-graph write --reachable
* valgrind --leak-check=full ./git commit-graph write --stdin-packs

subtree: improve decision on merges kept in split

When multiple identical parents are detected for a commit being considered
for copying, explicitly check whether one is the common merge base between
the commits. If so, the other commit can be used as the identical parent;
if not, a merge must be performed to maintain history.

In some situations two parents of a merge commit may appear to both have
identical subtree content with each other and the current commit. However,
those parents can potentially come from different commit graphs.

Previous behavior would simply select one of the identical parents to
serve as the replacement for this commit, based on the order in which they
were processed.

New behavior compares the merge base between the commits to determine if
a new merge commit is necessary to maintain history despite the identical
content.

subtree: use commits before rejoins for splits

Adds recursive evaluation of parent commits which were not part of the
initial commit list when performing a split.

Split expects all relevant commits to be reachable from the target commit
but not reachable from any previous rejoins. However, a branch could be
based on a commit prior to a rejoin, then later merged back into the
current code. In this case, a parent to the commit will not be present in
the initial list of commits, trigging an "incorrect order" warning.

Previous behavior was to consider that commit to have no parent, creating
an original commit containing all subtree content. This commit is not
present in an existing subtree commit graph, changing commit hashes and
making pushing to a subtree repo impossible.

New behavior will recursively check these unexpected parent commits to
track them back to either an earlier rejoin, or a true original commit.
The generated synthetic commits will properly match previously-generated
commits, allowing successful pushing to a prior subtree repo.

subtree: make --ignore-joins pay attention to adds

Changes the behavior of --ignore-joins to always consider a subtree add
commit, and ignore only splits and squashes.

The --ignore-joins option is documented to ignore prior --rejoin commits.
However, it additionally ignored subtree add commits generated when a
subtree was initially added to a repo.

Due to the logic which determines whether a commit is a mainline commit
or a subtree commit (namely, the presence or absence of content in the
subtree prefix) this causes commits before the initial add to appear to
be part of the subtree. An --ignore-joins split would therefore consider
those commits part of the subtree history and include them at the
beginning of the synthetic history, causing the resulting hashes to be
incorrect for all later commits.

diff --color-moved-ws: fix double free crash

Running

git diff --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change v2.18.0 v2.19.0

results in a crash due to a double free. This happens when two
potential moved blocks start with consecutive lines. As
pmb_advance_or_null_multi_match() advances it copies the ws_delta from
the last matching line to the next. When the first of our consecutive
lines is advanced its ws_delta well be copied to the second,
overwriting the ws_delta of the block containing the second line. Then
when the second line is advanced it will copy the new ws_delta to the
line below it and so on. Eventually one of these blocks will stop
matching and the ws_delta will be freed. From then on the other block
is in a use-after-free state and when it stops matching it will try to
free the ws_delta that has already been freed by the other block.

The solution is to store the ws_delta in the array of potential moved
blocks rather than with the lines. This means that it no longer needs
to be copied around and one block cannot overwrite the ws_delta of
another. Additionally it saves some malloc/free calls as we don't keep
allocating and freeing ws_deltas.

fetch-pack: exclude blobs when lazy-fetching trees

A partial clone with missing trees can be obtained using "git clone
--filter=tree:none <repo>". In such a repository, when a tree needs to
be lazily fetched, any tree or blob it directly or indirectly references
is fetched as well, regardless of whether the original command required
those objects, or if the local repository already had some of them.

This is because the fetch protocol, which the lazy fetch uses, does not
allow clients to request that only the wanted objects be sent, which
would be the ideal solution. This patch implements a partial solution:
specify the "blob:none" filter, somewhat reducing the fetch payload.

This change has no effect when lazily fetching blobs (due to how filters
work). And if lazily fetching a commit (such repositories are difficult
to construct and is not a use case we support very well, but it is
possible), referenced commits and trees are still fetched - only the
blobs are not fetched.

The necessary code change is done in fetch_pack() instead of somewhere
closer to where the "filter" instruction is written to the wire so that
only one part of the code needs to be changed in order for users of all
protocol versions to benefit from this optimization.

fetch-pack: avoid object flags if no_dependents

When fetch_pack() is invoked as part of another Git command (due to a
lazy fetch from a partial clone, for example), it uses object flags that
may already be used by the outer Git command.

The commit that introduced the lazy fetch feature (88e2f9ed8e
("introduce fetch-object: fetch one promisor object", 2017-12-05)) tried
to avoid this overlap, but it did not avoid it totally. It was
successful in avoiding writing COMPLETE, but did not avoid reading
COMPLETE, and did not avoid writing and reading ALTERNATE.

Ensure that no flags are written or read by fetch_pack() in the case
where it is used to perform a lazy fetch. To do this, it is sufficient
to avoid checking completeness of wanted refs (unnecessary in the case
of lazy fetches), and to avoid negotiation-related work (in the current
implementation, already, no negotiation is performed). After that was
done, the lack of overlap was verified by checking all direct and
indirect usages of COMPLETE and ALTERNATE - that they are read or
written only if no_dependents is false.

There are other possible solutions to this issue:

(1) Split fetch-pack.{c,h} into a flag-using part and a non-flag-using
part, and whenever no_dependents is set, only use the
non-flag-using part.
(2) Make fetch_pack() be able to be used with arbitrary repository
objects. fetch_pack() should then create its own repository object
based on the given repository object, with its own object
hashtable, so that the flags do not conflict.

(1) is possible but invasive - some functions would need to be split;
and such invasiveness would potentially be unnecessary if we ever were
to need (2) anyway. (2) would be useful if we were to support, say,
submodules that were partial clones themselves, but I don't know when or
if the Git project plans to support those.

mingw: bump the minimum Windows version to Vista

Quite some time ago, a last plea to the XP users out there who want to

We tried for a long time to play nice with the last remaining XP users

the last sign of XP support, and Git for Windows' SDK is no longer able
to build core Git's `master` branch as a consequence. (Git for Windows'
`master` branch already bumped the minimum Windows version to Vista a

It is time to require Windows Vista or later to build Git from source.

roll wt_status_state into wt_status and populate in the collect phase

Status variables were initialized in the collect phase and some
variables were later freed in the print functions.

A "struct wt_status" used to be sufficient for the output phase to
work. It was designed to be filled in the collect phase and consumed
in the output phase, but over time some fields were added and output
phase started filling the fields.

A "struct wt_status_state" that was used in other codepaths turned out
to be useful in the "git status" output. This is not tied to "struct
wt_status", so filling in the collect phase was not consistently
followed.

Move the status state structure variables into the status state
structure and populate them in the collect functions.

Create a new function to free the buffers that were being freed in the
print function. Call this new function in commit.c where both the
collect and print functions were being called.

t7005-editor: quote filename to fix whitespace-issue

Commit 4362da078e (t7005-editor: get rid of the SPACES_IN_FILENAMES
prereq, 2018-05-14) removed code for detecting whether spaces in
filenames work. Since we rely on spaces throughout the test suite
("trash directory.t1234-foo"), testing whether we can use the filename
"e space.sh" was redundant and unnecessary.

In simplifying the code, though, this introduced a regression around how
spaces are handled, not in the /name/ of the editor script, but /in/ the
script itself. The script just does `echo space >$1`, where $1 is for
example "/foo/t/trash directory.t7005-editor/.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG".

With most shells, or with Bash in posix mode, $1 will not be subjected
to field splitting. But if we invoke Bash directly, which will happen if
we build Git with SHELL_PATH=/bin/bash, it will detect and complain
about an "ambiguous redirect". More details can be found in [1], thanks
to SZEDER Gábor.

Make sure that the editor script quotes "$1" to remove the ambiguity.

The problem is due to the fact that when a merge of the submodule reference

returns three seperate entries for the submodule (one for each stage) rather
than a single entry; e.g.,
