Recommend git-filter-repo instead of git-filter-branch
filter-branch suffers from a deluge of disguised dangers that disfigure
history rewrites (i.e. deviate from the deliberate changes). Many of
these problems are unobtrusive and can easily go undiscovered until the
new repository is in use. This can result in problems ranging from an
even messier history than what led folks to filter-branch in the first
place, to data loss or corruption. These issues cannot be backward
compatibly fixed, so add a warning to both filter-branch and its manpage
recommending that another tool (such as filter-repo) be used instead.
Also, update other manpages that referenced filter-branch. Several of
these needed updates even if we could continue recommending
filter-branch, either due to implying that something was unique to
filter-branch when it applied more generally to all history rewriting
tools (e.g. BFG, reposurgeon, fast-import, filter-repo), or because
something about filter-branch was used as an example despite other more
commonly known examples now existing. Reword these sections to fix
these issues and to avoid recommending filter-branch.
Finally, remove the section explaining BFG Repo Cleaner as an
alternative to filter-branch. I feel somewhat bad about this,
especially since I feel like I learned so much from BFG that I put to
good use in filter-repo (which is much more than I can say for
filter-branch), but keeping that section presented a few problems:
* In order to recommend that people quit using filter-branch, we need
to provide them a recomendation for something else to use that
can handle all the same types of rewrites. To my knowledge,
filter-repo is the only such tool. So it needs to be mentioned.
* I don't want to give conflicting recommendations to users
* If we recommend two tools, we shouldn't expect users to learn both
and pick which one to use; we should explain which problems one
can solve that the other can't or when one is much faster than
the other.
* BFG and filter-repo have similar performance
* All filtering types that BFG can do, filter-repo can also do. In
fact, filter-repo comes with a reimplementation of BFG named
bfg-ish which provides the same user-interface as BFG but with
several bugfixes and new features that are hard to implement in
BFG due to its technical underpinnings.
While I could still mention both tools, it seems like I would need to
provide some kind of comparison and I would ultimately just say that
filter-repo can do everything BFG can, so ultimately it seems that it
is just better to remove that section altogether.

t6006: simplify, fix, and optimize empty message test
Test t6006.71 ("oneline with empty message") was creating two commits
with simple commit messages, and then running filter-branch to rewrite
the commit messages to be "empty". This test was introduced in commit 1fb5fdd25f0 ("rev-list: fix --pretty=oneline with empty message",
2010-03-21) and written this way because the --allow-empty-message
option to git commit did not exist at the time.
However, the filter-branch invocation used differed slightly from
--allow-empty-message in that it would have a commit message consisting
solely of a single newline, and as such was not testing what the
original commit intended to test. Since both a truly empty commit
message and a commit message with a single linefeed could trigger the
original bug, modify the test slightly to include an example of each.
Despite only being one piece of the 71st test and there being 73 tests
overall, this small change to just this one test speeds up the overall
execution time of t6006 (as measured by the best of 3 runs of `time
./t6006-rev-list-format.sh`) by about 11% on Linux, 13% on Mac, and
about 15% on Windows.

Currently, there are two ways where the return codes of Git commands are
lost. The first way is when a command is in the upstream of a pipe. In a
pipe, only the return code of the last command is used. Thus, all other
commands will have their return codes masked. Rewrite pipes so that
there are no Git commands upstream.
The other way is when a command is in a non-assignment subshell. The
return code will be lost in favour of the surrounding command's. Rewrite
instances of this such that Git commands output to a file and

On Windows, it is possible to embed additional metadata into an
executable by linking in a "manifest", i.e. an XML document that
describes capabilities and requirements (such as minimum or maximum
Windows version). These XML documents are expected to be stored in
`.manifest` files.
At least _some_ Visual Studio versions auto-generate `.manifest` files
when none is specified explicitly, therefore we used to ask Git to
ignore them.
However, we do have a beautiful `.manifest` file now:
`compat/win32/git.manifest`, so neither does Visual Studio auto-generate
a manifest for us, nor do we want Git to ignore the `.manifest` files
anymore.

When applying multiple patches with git am, or when rebasing using the
am backend, it's possible that one of our patches has updated a
gitattributes file. Currently, we cache this information, so if a
file in a subsequent patch has attributes applied, the file will be
written out with the attributes in place as of the time we started the
rebase or am operation, not with the attributes applied by the previous
patch. This problem does not occur when using the -m or -i flags to
rebase.
To ensure we write the correct data into the working tree, expire the
cache after each patch that touches a path ending in ".gitattributes".
Since we load these attributes in multiple separate files, we must
expire them accordingly.

The commit-graph feature is now on by default, and is being
written during 'git gc' by default. Typically, Git only writes
a commit-graph when a 'git gc --auto' command passes the gc.auto
setting to actualy do work. This means that a commit-graph will
typically fall behind the commits that are being used every day.
To stay updated with the latest commits, add a step to 'git
fetch' to write a commit-graph after fetching new objects. The
fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting enables writing a split
commit-graph, so on average the cost of writing this file is
very small. Occasionally, the commit-graph chain will collapse
to a single level, and this could be slow for very large repos.
For additional use, adjust the default to be true when
feature.experimental is enabled.

push: disallow --all and refspecs when remote.<name>.mirror is set
Pushes with --all, or refspecs are disallowed when --mirror is given
to 'git push', or when 'remote.<name>.mirror' is set in the config of
the repository, because they can have surprising
effects. 800a4ab399 ("push: check for errors earlier", 2018-05-16)
refactored this code to do that check earlier, so we can explicitly
check for the presence of flags, instead of their sideeffects.
However when 'remote.<name>.mirror' is set in the config, the
TRANSPORT_PUSH_MIRROR flag would only be set after we calling
'do_push()', so the checks would miss it entirely.
This leads to surprises for users [*1*].
Fix this by making sure we set the flag (if appropriate) before
checking for compatibility of the various options.
The 'git switch' command was created to separate half of the
behavior of 'git checkout'. It specifically has the mode to
do nothing with the index and working directory if the user
only specifies to create a new branch and change HEAD to that
branch. This is also the behavior most users expect from
'git checkout -b', but for historical reasons it also performs
an index update by scanning the working directory. This can be
slow for even moderately-sized repos.
A performance fix for 'git checkout -b' was introduced by fa655d8411 (checkout: optimize "git checkout -b <new_branch>"
2018-08-16). That change includes details about the config
setting checkout.optimizeNewBranch when the sparse-checkout
feature is required. The way this change detected if this
behavior change is safe was through the skip_merge_working_tree()
method. This method was complex and needed to be updated
as new options were introduced.
This behavior was essentially reverted by 65f099b ("switch:
no worktree status unless real branch switch happens"
2019-03-29). Instead, two members of the checkout_opts struct
were used to distinguish between 'git checkout' and 'git switch':
These settings have opposite values depending on if we start
in cmd_checkout or cmd_switch.
The message for 64f099b includes "Users of big repos are
encouraged to move to switch." Making this change while
'git switch' is still experimental is too aggressive.
Create a happy medium between these two options by making
'git checkout -b <branch>' behave just like 'git switch',
but only if we read exactly those arguments. This must
be done in cmd_checkout to avoid the arguments being
consumed by the option parsing logic.
This differs from the previous change by fa644d8 in that
the config option checkout.optimizeNewBranch remains
deleted. This means that 'git checkout -b' will ignore
the index merge even if we have a sparse-checkout file.
While this is a behavior change for 'git checkout -b',
it matches the behavior of 'git switch -c'.

This makes gitk look for http or https URLs in the commit description
and make the URLs clickable. Clicking on them will invoke an external
web browser with the URL.
The web browser command is by default "xdg-open" on Linux, "open" on
MacOS, and "cmd /c start" on Windows. The command can be changed in
the preferences window, and it can include parameters as well as the
command name. If it is set to the empty string then URLs will no
longer be made clickable.
A common scenario is if a user is working on a topic branch and they
wish to make some changes to intermediate commits or autosquash, they
would run something such as
git rebase -i --onto master... master
in order to preserve the merge base. This is useful when contributing a
patch series to the Git mailing list, one often starts on top of the
current 'master'. While developing the patches, 'master' is also
developed further and it is sometimes not the best idea to keep rebasing
on top of 'master', but to keep the base commit as-is.
In addition to this, a user wishing to test individual commits in a
topic branch without changing anything may run
git rebase -x ./test.sh master... master
Since rebasing onto the merge base of the branch and the upstream is
such a common case, introduce the --keep-base option as a shortcut.
This allows us to rewrite the above as
git rebase -i --keep-base master
and
git rebase -x ./test.sh --keep-base master
respectively.
Add tests to ensure --keep-base works correctly in the normal case and
fails when there are multiple merge bases, both in regular and
interactive mode. Also, test to make sure conflicting options cause
rebase to fail. While we're adding test cases, add a missing
set_fake_editor call to 'rebase -i --onto master...side'.
While we're documenting the --keep-base option, change an instance of
"merge-base" to "merge base", which is the consistent spelling.

Before, when we rebased with a --fork-point invocation where the
fork-point wasn't empty, we would be setting options.restrict_revision.
The fast-forward logic would automatically declare that the rebase was
not fast-forwardable if it was set. However, this was painting with a
very broad brush.

running 'git rebase --onto master... master side' would result in D
being always rebased, no matter what. However, the desired behavior is
that rebase should notice that this is fast-forwardable and do that
instead.
Add detection to `can_fast_forward` so that this case can be detected
and a fast-forward will be performed. First of all, rewrite the function
to use gotos which simplifies the logic. Next, since the
conditions were removed in `cmd_rebase`, we reintroduce a substitute in
`can_fast_forward`. In particular, checking the merge bases of
`upstream` and `head` fixes a failing case in t3416.
The abbreviated graph for t3416 is as follows:
F---G topic
/
A---B---C---D---E master
and the failing command was
git rebase --onto master...topic F topic
Before, Git would see that there was one merge base (C), and the merge
and onto were the same so it would incorrectly return 1, indicating that
we could fast-forward. This would cause the rebased graph to be 'ABCFG'
when we were expecting 'ABCG'.
With the additional logic, we detect that upstream and head's merge base
is F. Since onto isn't F, it means we're not rebasing the full set of
commits from master..topic. Since we're excluding some commits, a
fast-forward cannot be performed and so we correctly return 0.
Add '-f' to test cases that failed as a result of this change because
they were not expecting a fast-forward so that a rebase is forced.

fast-import: duplicate into history rather than passing ownership
Fast-import's read_next_command() has somewhat odd memory ownership
semantics for the command_buf strbuf. After reading a command, we copy
the strbuf's pointer (without duplicating the string) into our cmd_hist
array of recent commands. And then when we're about to read a new
command, we clear the strbuf by calling strbuf_detach(), dropping
ownership from the strbuf (leaving the cmd_hist reference as the
remaining owner).
This has a few surprising implications:
- if the strbuf hasn't been copied into cmd_hist (e.g., because we
haven't ready any commands yet), then the strbuf_detach() will leak
the resulting string
- any modification to command_buf risks invalidating the pointer held
by cmd_hist. There doesn't seem to be any way to trigger this
currently (since we tend to modify it only by detaching and reading
in a new value), but it's subtly dangerous.
- any pointers into an input string will remain valid as long as
cmd_hist points to them. So in general, you can point into
command_buf.buf and call read_next_command() up to 100 times before
your string is cycled out and freed, leaving you with a dangling
pointer. This makes it easy to miss bugs during testing, as they
might trigger only for a sufficiently large commit (e.g., the bug
fixed in the previous commit).
Instead, let's make a new string to copy the command into the history
array, rather than having dual ownership with the old. Then we can drop
the strbuf_detach() calls entirely, and just reuse the same buffer
within command_buf over and over. We'd normally have to strbuf_reset()
it before using it again, but in both cases here we're using
strbuf_getline(), which does it automatically for us.
This fixes the leak, and it means that even a single call to
read_next_command() will invalidate any held pointers, making it easier
to find bugs. In fact, we can drop the extra input lines added to the
test case by the previous commit, as the unfixed bug would now trigger
just from reading the commit message, even without any modified files in
the commit.

We read each line of the fast-import stream into the command_buf strbuf.
When reading a commit, we parse a line like "encoding foo" by storing a
pointer to "foo", but not making a copy. We may then read an unbounded
number of other lines (e.g., one for each modified file in the commit),
each of which writes into command_buf.
This works out in practice for small cases, because we hand off
ownership of the heap buffer from command_buf to the cmd_hist array, and
read new commands into a fresh heap buffer. And thus the pointer to
"foo" remains valid as long as there aren't so many intermediate lines
that we end up dropping the original "encoding" line from the history.
But as the test modification shows, if we go over our default of 100
lines, we end up with our encoding string pointing into freed heap
memory. This seems to fail reliably by writing garbage into the output,
but running under ASan definitely detects this as a use-after-free.
We can fix it by duplicating the encoding value, just as we do for other
parsed lines (e.g., an author line ends up in parse_ident, which copies
it to a new string).

There are some cases that currently don't pass. The first case is where

t7300-clean: demonstrate deleting nested repo with an ignored file breakage

Append the strbuf buffer only after detaching it. There is no practical
difference here, as the strbuf is not empty and no strbuf_ function is
called between storing the pointer to the still attached buffer and
calling strbuf_detach(), so that pointer is valid, but make sure to
follow the standard sequence anyway for consistency.

We have a function to strip the path suffix from a commit, but we don't
have one to check for a path suffix. For a plain filename, we can use
basename, but that requires an allocation, since POSIX allows it to
modify its argument. Refactor strip_path_suffix into a helper function
and a new function, ends_with_path_components, to meet this need.

notes: avoid potential use-after-free during insertion
The note_tree_insert() function may free the leaf_node struct we pass in
(e.g., if it's a duplicate, or if it needs to be combined with an
existing note).
Most callers are happy with this, as they assume that ownership of the
struct is handed off. But in load_subtree(), if we see an error we'll
use the handed-off struct's key_oid to generate the die() message,
potentially accessing freed memory.
We can easily fix this by instead using the original oid that we copied
into the leaf_node struct.

mingw: fix launching of externals from Unicode paths
If Git were installed in a path containing non-ASCII characters,
commands such as `git am` and `git submodule`, which are implemented as
externals, would fail to launch with the following error:
> fatal: 'am' appears to be a git command, but we were not
> able to execute it. Maybe git-am is broken?
This was due to lookup_prog not being Unicode-aware. It was somehow
missed in 85faec9d3a (Win32: Unicode file name support (except dirent),
2012-03-15).
Note that the only problem in this function was calling
`GetFileAttributes()` instead of `GetFileAttributesW()`. The calls to
`access()` were fine because `access()` is a macro which resolves to
`mingw_access()`, which already handles Unicode correctly. But
`lookup_prog()` was changed to use `_waccess()` directly so that we only
convert the path to UTF-16 once.
To make things work correctly, we have to maintain UTF-8 and UTF-16
versions in tandem in `lookup_prog()`.

When working in the root directory of a file share (this is only
possible in Git Bash and Powershell, but not in CMD), the current
directory is reported without a trailing slash.
This is different from Unix and standard Windows directories: both / and
C:\ are reported with a trailing slash as current directories.
If a Git worktree is located there, Git is not quite prepared for that:
while it does manage to find the .git directory/file, it returns as
length of the top-level directory's path *one more* than the length of
the current directory, and setup_git_directory_gently() would then
return an undefined string as prefix.
In practice, this undefined string usually points to NUL bytes, and does
not cause much harm. Under rare circumstances that are really involved
to reproduce (and not reliably so), the reported prefix could be a
suffix string of Git's exec path, though.
A careful analysis determined that this bug is unlikely to be
exploitable, therefore we mark this as a regular bug fix.

A very common assumption in Git's source code base is that
offset_1st_component() returns either 0 for relative paths, or 1 for
absolute paths that start with a slash. In other words, the return value
is either 0 or points just after the dir separator.
This assumption is not fulfilled when calling offset_1st_component()
e.g. on UNC paths on Windows, e.g. "//my-server/my-share". In this case,
offset_1st_component() returns the length of the entire string (which is
correct, because stripping the last "component" would not result in a
valid directory), yet the return value still does not point just after a
dir separator.
This assumption is most prominently seen in the
setup_git_directory_gently_1() function, where we want to append a
".git" component and simply assume that there is already a dir
separator. In the UNC example given above, this assumption is incorrect.
As a consequence, Git will fail to handle a worktree at the top of a UNC
share correctly.
Let's fix this by adding a dir separator specifically for that case: we
found that there is no first component in the path and it does not end
in a dir separator? Then add it.

Commit e70a3030e7 ("fetch: do not list refs if fetching only hashes",
2018-10-07) and its ancestors taught Git, as an optimization, to skip
the ls-refs step when it is not necessary during a protocol v2 fetch
(for example, when lazy fetching a missing object in a partial clone, or
when running "git fetch --no-tags <remote> <SHA-1>"). But that was only
done for natively supported protocols; in particular, HTTP was not
supported.
Teach Git to skip ls-refs when using remote helpers that support connect
or stateless-connect. To do this, fetch() is made an acceptable entry
point. Because fetch() can now be the first function in the vtable
called, "get_helper(transport);" has to be added to the beginning of
that function to set the transport up (if not yet set up) before
process_connect() is invoked.
When fetch() is called, the transport could be taken over (this happens
if "connect" or "stateless-connect" is successfully run without any
"fallback" response), or not. If the transport is taken over, execution
continues like execution for natively supported protocols
(fetch_refs_via_pack() is executed, which will fetch refs using ls-refs
if needed). If not, the remote helper interface will invoke
get_refs_list() if it hasn't been invoked yet, preserving existing
behavior.

In t0021.15 one of the things we are checking is that the clean filter
is run when checking out empty-branch. The clean filter needs to be
run to make sure there are no modifications on the file system for the
test.r file, and thus it isn't dangerous to overwrite it.
However in the current test setup it is not always necessary to run
the clean filter, and thus the test sometimes fails, as debug.log
isn't written.
This happens when test.r has an older mtime than the index itself.
That mtime is also recorded as stat data for test.r in the index, and
based on the heuristic we're using for index entries, git correctly
assumes this file is up-to-date.
Usually this test succeeds because the mtime of test.r is the same as
the mtime of the index. In this case test.r is racily clean, so git
actually checks the contents, for which the clean filter is run.
Fix the test by updating the mtime of test.r, so git is forced to
check the contents of the file, and the clean filter is run as the
test expects.

With rename detection enabled the line-level log is able to trace the
evolution of line ranges across whole-file renames [1]. Alas, to
achieve that it uses the diff machinery very inefficiently, making the
operation very slow [2]. And since rename detection is enabled by
default, the line-level log is very slow by default.
When the line-level log processes a commit with rename detection
enabled, it currently does the following (see queue_diffs()):
1. Computes a full tree diff between the commit and (one of) its
parent(s), i.e. invokes diff_tree_oid() with an empty
'diffopt->pathspec'.
2. Checks whether any paths in the line ranges were modified.
3. Checks whether any modified paths in the line ranges are missing
in the parent commit's tree.
4. If there is such a missing path, then calls diffcore_std() to
figure out whether the path was indeed renamed based on the
previously computed full tree diff.
5. Continues doing stuff that are unrelated to the slowness.
So basically the line-level log computes a full tree diff for each
commit-parent pair in step (1) to be used for rename detection in step
(4) in the off chance that an interesting path is missing from the
parent.
Avoid these expensive and mostly unnecessary full tree diffs by
limiting the diffs to paths in the line ranges. This is much cheaper,
and makes step (2) unnecessary. If it turns out that an interesting
path is missing from the parent, then fall back and compute a full
tree diff, so the rename detection will still work.
Care must be taken when to update the pathspec used to limit the diff
in case of renames. A path might be renamed on one branch and
modified on several parallel running branches, and while processing
commits on these branches the line-level log might have to alternate
between looking at a path's new and old name. However, at any one
time there is only a single 'diffopt->pathspec'.
So add a step (0) to the above to ensure that the paths in the
pathspec match the paths in the line ranges associated with the
currently processed commit, and re-parse the pathspec from the paths
in the line ranges if they differ.
The new test cases include a specially crafted piece of history with
two merged branches and two files, where each branch modifies both
files, renames on of them, and then modifies both again. Then two
separate 'git log -L' invocations check the line-level log of each of
those two files, which ensures that at least one of those invocations
have to do that back-and-forth between the file's old and new name (no
matter which branch is traversed first). 't/t4211-line-log.sh'
already contains two tests involving renames, they don't don't trigger
this back-and-forth.
Avoiding these unnecessary full tree diffs can have huge impact on
performance, especially in big repositories with big trees and mergy
history. Tracing the evolution of a function through the whole
history:
# git.git
$ time git --no-pager log -L:read_alternate_refs:sha1-file.c v2.23.0
Before:
real 0m8.874s
user 0m8.816s
sys 0m0.057s
After:
real 0m2.516s
user 0m2.456s
sys 0m0.060s
# linux.git
$ time ~/src/git/git --no-pager log \
-L:build_restore_work_registers:arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c v5.2
Before:
real 3m50.033s
user 3m48.041s
sys 0m0.300s
After:
real 0m2.599s
user 0m2.466s
sys 0m0.157s
That's just over 88x speedup.
[1] Line-level log's rename following is quite similar to 'git log
--follow path', with the notable differences that it does handle
multiple paths at once as well, and that it doesn't show the
commit performing the rename if it's an exact rename.
[2] This slowness might not have been apparent initially, because back
when the line-level log feature was introduced rename detection
was not yet enabled by default; 12da1d1f6f (Implement line-history
search (git log -L), 2013-03-28) and 5404c116aa (diff: activate

diff: skip GITLINK when lazy fetching missing objs
In 7fbbcb21b1 ("diff: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2019-04-08),
diff was taught to batch the fetching of missing objects when operating
on a partial clone, but was not taught to refrain from fetching

it in the set to be fetched.
(As stated in the commit message of that commit, unpack-trees was also
taught a similar thing prior, but unpack-trees correctly checks for
GITLINK before including objects in the set to be fetched.)
