The 'feature.experimental' setting includes config options that are
not committed to become defaults, but could use additional testing.
Update the following config settings to take new defaults, and to
use the repo_settings struct if not already using them:
* 'pack.useSparse=true'
* 'fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping'
In the case of fetch.negotiationAlgorithm, the existing logic
would load the config option only when about to use the setting,
so had a die() statement on an unknown string value. This is
removed as now the config is parsed under prepare_repo_settings().
In general, this die() is probably misplaced and not valuable.

The core.untrackedCache config setting is slightly complicated,
so clarify its use and centralize its parsing into the repo
settings.
The default value is "keep" (returned as -1), which persists the
untracked cache if it exists.
If the value is set as "false" (returned as 0), then remove the
untracked cache if it exists.
If the value is set as "true" (returned as 1), then write the
untracked cache and persist it.
Instead of relying on magic values of -1, 0, and 1, split these
options into an enum. This allows the use of "-1" as a
default value. After parsing the config options, if the value is
unset we can initialize it to UNTRACKED_CACHE_KEEP.

There are several places in the test suite where the environment

There are two perf scripts numbered p5600, but with otherwise different

results in files named after the whole script, so internally we don't
get confused between the two. But "aggregate.perl" just prints the test

makes it impossible to skip one test but not the other with
GIT_SKIP_TESTS.
Let's renumber the one that appeared later (by date -- the source of the

The stream of symbols that makes up this function is hard for humans
to follow, too. The complexity mostly comes from the repeated use of
the expression ${1#??} for the basename of the loose object. Use a
variable instead --- nowadays, the dialect of shell used by Git
permits local variables, so this is cheap.
An alternative way to work around [*] is to remove the double-quotes
around test_oid_to_path's return value. That makes the expression
easier for dash to read, but harder for humans. Let's prefer the
rephrasing that's helpful for humans, too.

config: stop checking whether the_repository is NULL
Since the previous commit, our invariant that the_repository is never
NULL is restored, and we can stop being defensive in include_by_branch().
We can confirm the fix by showing that an onbranch config include will
not cause a segfault when run outside a git repository. I've put this in
t1309-early-config since it's related to the case added by 85fe0e800c

2019-07-31), though technically the issue was with

We initialize the trace2 system in the common main() function so that
all programs (even ones that aren't builtins) will enable tracing. But
trace2 startup is relatively heavy-weight, as we have to actually read
on-disk config to decide whether to trace. This can cause unexpected
interactions with other common-main initialization. For instance, we'll
end up in the config code before calling initialize_the_repository(),
and the usual invariant that the_repository is never NULL will not hold.
Let's push the trace2 initialization further down in common-main, to
just before we execute cmd_main(). The other parts of the initialization
are much more self-contained and less likely to call library code that
depends on those kinds of invariants.
Originally the trace2 code tried to start as early as possible to get
accurate timings. But the timer initialization was split out from the
config reading in a089724958 (trace2: refactor setting process starting
time, 2019-04-15), so there shouldn't be any impact from this patch.

But it would never do so even if the feature were implemented, since the

parse-options: allow --end-of-options as a synonym for "--"
The revision option parser recently learned about --end-of-options, but
that's not quite enough for all callers. Some of them, like git-log,
pick out some options using parse_options(), and then feed the remainder
to setup_revisions(). For those cases we need to stop parse_options()
from finding more options when it sees --end-of-options, and to retain
that option in argv so that setup_revisions() can see it as well.
Let's handle this the same as we do "--". We can even piggy-back on the
handling of PARSE_OPT_KEEP_DASHDASH, because any caller that wants to
retain one will want to retain the other.
I've included two tests here. The "log" test covers "--source", which is
one of the options it handles with parse_options(), and would fail
before this patch. There's also a test that uses the parse-options
helper directly. That confirms that the option is handled correctly even
in cases without KEEP_DASHDASH or setup_revisions(). I.e., it is safe to
use --end-of-options in place of "--" in other programs.

revision: allow --end-of-options to end option parsing
There's currently no robust way to tell Git that a particular option is
meant to be a revision, and not an option. So if you have a branch
"refs/heads/--foo", you cannot just say:
git rev-list --foo
You can say:
git rev-list refs/heads/--foo
But that breaks down if you don't know the refname, and in particular if
you're a script passing along a value from elsewhere. In most programs,
you can use "--" to end option parsing, like this:
some-prog -- "$revision"
But that doesn't work for the revision parser, because "--" is already
meaningful there: it separates revisions from pathspecs. So we need some
other marker to separate options from revisions.
This patch introduces "--end-of-options", which serves that purpose:
will work regardless of what's in "$revision" (well, if you say "--" it
may fail, but it won't do something dangerous, like triggering an
unexpected option).
The name is verbose, but that's probably a good thing; this is meant to
be used for scripted invocations where readability is more important
than terseness.
One alternative would be to introduce an explicit option to mark a
revision, like:
git rev-list --oneline --revision="$revision"
That's slightly _more_ informative than this commit (because it makes
even something silly like "--" unambiguous). But the pattern of using a
separator like "--" is well established in git and in other commands,
and it makes some scripting tasks simpler like:
git rev-list --end-of-options "$@"
There's no documentation in this patch, because it will make sense to
describe the feature once it is available everywhere (and support will
be added in further patches).

merge-recursive: avoid directory rename detection in recursive case
Ever since commit 8c8e5bd6eb33 ("merge-recursive: switch directory
rename detection default", 2019-04-05), the default handling with
directory rename detection was to report a conflict and leave unstaged
entries in the index. However, when creating a virtual merge base in
the recursive case, we absolutely need a tree, and the only way a tree
can be written is if we have no unstaged entries -- otherwise we hit a
BUG().
There are a few fixes possible here which at least fix the BUG(), but
none of them seem optimal for other reasons; see the comments with the
new testcase 13e in t6043 for details (which testcase triggered a BUG()
prior to this patch). As such, just opt for a very conservative and
simple choice that is still relatively reasonable: have the recursive
case treat 'conflict' as 'false' for opt->detect_directory_renames.

i.e. first an "expecting success" (or "checking known breakage") line
followed by the commands to be executed, then the output of those
comamnds, and finally an "ok"/"not ok" line containing the test name.
Note that the test's name is only shown at the very end.
With '-x' tracing enabled and/or in longer tests the verbose output
might be several screenfulls long, making it harder than necessary to
find where the output of the test with a given name starts (especially
when the outputs to different file descriptors are racing, and the
"expecting success"/command block arrives earlier than the "ok" line
of the previous test).
Print the test name at the start of the test's verbose output, i.e. at
the end of the "expecting success" and "checking known breakage"
lines, to make the start of a particular test a bit easier to
recognize. Also print the test script and test case numbers, to help
those poor souls who regularly have to scan through the combined
verbose output of several test scripts.
t0000-basic: use realistic test script names in the verbose tests
Our test scripts are named something like 't1234-command.sh', but the
script names used in 't0000-basic.sh' don't follow this naming
convention. Normally this doesn't matter, because the test scripts
themselves don't care how they are called. However, the next patch
will start to include the test number in the test's verbose output, so
the test script's name will matter in the two tests checking the
verbose output.
Update the tests 'test --verbose' and 'test --verbose-only' to follow
out test script naming convention.
Leave the other tests in 't0000' unchanged: changing the names of
their test scripts would be only pointless code churn.

In 1771be90 "commit-graph: merge commit-graph chains" (2019-06-18),
the method sort_and_scan_merged_commits() was added to merge the
commit lists of two commit-graph files in the incremental format.
Unfortunately, there was an off-by-one error in that method around
incrementing num_extra_edges, which leads to an incorrect offset
for the base graph chunk.
When we store an octopus merge in the commit-graph file, we store
the first parent in the normal place, but use the second parent
position to point into the "extra edges" chunk where the remaining
parents exist. This means we should be adding "num_parents - 1"
edges to this list, not "num_parents - 2". That is the basic error.
The reason this was not caught in the test suite is more subtle.
In 5324-split-commit-graph.sh, we test creating an octopus merge
and adding it to the tip of a commit-graph chain, then verify the
result. This _should_ have caught the problem, except that when
we load the commit-graph files we were overly careful to not fail
when the commit-graph chain does not match. This care was on
purpose to avoid race conditions as one process reads the chain
and another process modifies it. In such a case, the reading
process outputs the following message to stderr:
warning: commit-graph chain does not match
These warnings are output in the test suite, but ignored. By
checking the stderr of `git commit-graph verify` to include
the expected progress output, it will now catch this error.

return with error otherwise, the same way '--stdin-packs' handles
invalid input; see e103f7276f (commit-graph: return with errors during
write, 2019-06-12).
Note that it should only return with error when encountering an
invalid commit object id coming from standard input. However,
'--reachable' uses the same code path to process object ids pointed to
by all refs, and that includes tag object ids as well, which should
still be skipped over. Therefore add a new flag to 'enum
commit_graph_write_flags' and a corresponding field to 'struct
write_commit_graph_context', so we can differentiate between those two
cases.

The recently added [includeif "onbranch:branch"] feature does not
work well with an early config mechanism, as it attempts to find
out what branch we are on before we even haven't located the git
repository. The inclusion during early config scan is ignored to
work around this issue.

`git restore --staged` uses the same machinery as `git checkout HEAD`,
so there should be a similar test case for "restore" as the existing
test case for "checkout" with deleted ita files.

It is possible to delete a committed file from the index and then add it
as intent-to-add. After `git checkout HEAD <pathspec>`, the file should
be identical in the index and HEAD. The command already works correctly
if the file has contents in HEAD. This patch provides the desired
behavior even when the file is empty in HEAD.
`git checkout HEAD <pathspec>` calls tree.c:read_tree_1(), with fn
pointing to checkout.c:update_some(). update_some() creates a new cache
entry but discards it when its mode and oid match those of the old
entry. A cache entry for an ita file and a cache entry for an empty file
have the same oid. Therefore, an empty deleted ita file previously
passed both of these checks, and the new entry was discarded, so the
file remained unchanged in the index. After this fix, if the file is
marked as ita in the cache, then we avoid discarding the new entry and
add the new entry to the cache instead.
This change should not affect newly added ita files. For those, inside
tree.c:read_tree_1(), tree_entry_interesting() returns
entry_not_interesting, so fn is never called.

pack-refs: always refresh after taking the lock file
When a packed ref is deleted, the whole packed-refs file is
rewritten to omit the ref that no longer exists. However if another
gc command is running and calls `pack-refs --all` simultaneously,
there is a chance that a ref that was just updated lose the newly
created commits.
Through these steps, losing commits on newly updated refs can be
demonstrated:
# step 1: compile git without `USE_NSEC` option
Some kernel releases do enable it by default while some do
not. And if we compile git without `USE_NSEC`, it will be easier
demonstrated by the following steps.
# step 2: setup a repository and add the first commit
git init repo &&
(cd repo &&
git config core.logallrefupdates true &&
git commit --allow-empty -m foo)
# step 3: in one terminal, repack the refs repeatedly
cd repo &&
while true
do
git pack-refs --all
done
# step 4: in another terminal, simultaneously update the
# master with update-ref, and create and delete an
# unrelated ref also with update-ref
cd repo &&
while true
do
us=$(git commit-tree -m foo -p HEAD HEAD^{tree}) &&
git update-ref refs/heads/newbranch $us &&
git update-ref refs/heads/master $us &&
git update-ref -d refs/heads/newbranch &&
them=$(git rev-parse master) &&
if test "$them" != "$us"
then
echo >&2 "lost commit: $us"
exit 1
fi
# eye candy
printf .
done
Though we have the packed-refs lock file and loose refs lock
files to avoid updating conflicts, a ref will lost its newly
commits if racy stat-validity of `packed-refs` file happens
(which is quite same as the racy-git described in
`Documentation/technical/racy-git.txt`), the following
specific set of operations demonstrates the problem:
1. Call `pack-refs --all` to pack all the loose refs to
packed-refs, and let say the modify time of the
packed-refs is DATE_M.
2. Call `update-ref` to update a new commit to master while
it is already packed. the old value (let us call it
OID_A) remains in the packed-refs file and write the new
value (let us call it OID_B) to $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master.
3. Call `update-ref -d` within the same DATE_M from the 1th
step to delete a different ref newbranch which is packed
in the packed-refs file. It check newbranch's oid from
packed-refs file without locking it.
Meanwhile it keeps a snapshot of the packed-refs file in
memory and record the file's attributes with the snapshot.
The oid of master in the packed-refs's snapshot is OID_A.
4. Call a new `pack-refs --all` to pack the loose refs, the
oid of master in packe-refs file is OID_B, and the loose
refs $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master is removed. Let's say
the `pack-refs --all` is very quickly done and the new
packed-refs file's modify time is still DATE_M, and it
has the same file size, even the same inode.
5. 3th step now goes on after checking the newbranch, it
begin to rewrite the packed-refs file. After get the
lock file of packed-ref file, it checks it's on-disk
file attributes with the snapshot, suck as the timestamp,
the file size and the inode value. If they are both the
same values, and the snapshot is not refreshed.
Because the loose ref of master is removed by 4th step,
`update-ref -d` will updates the new packed-ref to disk
which contains master with the oid OID_A. So now the
newly commit OID_B of master is lost.
The best path forward is just always refreshing after take
the lock file of `packed-refs` file. Traditionally we avoided
that because refreshing it implied parsing the whole file.
But these days we mmap it, so it really is just an extra
open()/mmap() and a quick read of the header. That doesn't seem
like an outrageous cost to pay when we're already taking the lock.

t: warn against adding non-httpd-specific tests after sourcing 'lib-httpd'
We have a couple of test scripts that are not completely
httpd-specific, but do run a few httpd-specific tests at the end.
These test scripts source 'lib-httpd.sh' somewhere mid-script, which
then skips all the rest of the test script if the dependencies for
running httpd tests are not fulfilled.
As the previous two patches in this series show, already on two
occasions non-httpd-specific tests were appended at the end of such
test scripts, and, consequently, they were skipped as well when httpd
tests couldn't be run.
Add a comment at the end of these test scripts to warn against adding
non-httpd-specific tests at the end, in the hope that they will help
prevent similar issues in the future.
