The --batch-size=<size> option of 'git multi-pack-index repack' is
intended to limit the amount of work done by the repack. In the case of
a large repository, this command should repack a number of small
pack-files but leave the large pack-files alone. Most often, the
repository has one large pack-file from a 'git clone' operation and
number of smaller pack-files from incremental 'git fetch' operations.
The issue with '--batch-size' is that it also _prevents_ the repack from
happening if the expected size of the resulting pack-file is too small.
This was intended as a way to avoid frequent churn of small pack-files,
but it has mostly caused confusion when a repository is of "medium"
size. That is, not enormous like the Windows OS repository, but also not
so small that this incremental repack isn't valuable.
The solution presented here is to collect pack-files for repack if their
expected size is smaller than the batch-size parameter until either the
total expected size exceeds the batch-size or all pack-files are
considered. If there are at least two pack-files, then these are
combined to a new pack-file whose size should not be too much larger
than the batch-size.
This new strategy should succeed in keeping the number of pack-files
small in these "medium" size repositories. The concern about churn is
likely not interesting, as the real control over that is the frequency
in which the repack command is run.

Not all man5/man7 guides are mentioned in the 'git(1)' documentation,
which makes the missing ones somewhat hard to find.
Add a list of the guides to git(1) by leveraging the existing
`Documentation/cmd-list.perl` script to generate a file `cmds-guide.txt`
which gets included in git.txt.
Also, do not hard-code the manual section '1'. Instead, use a regex so
that the manual section is discovered from the first line of each
`git*.txt` file.
This addition was hinted at in 1b81d8cb19 (help: use command-list.txt
for the source of guides, 2018-05-20).

Since 1b81d8cb19 (help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides,
2018-05-20), all man5/man7 guides listed in command-list.txt appear in
the output of 'git help -g'.
However, 'git help -g' still prefixes this list with "The common Git
guides are:", which makes one wonder if there are others!
In the same spirit, the man page for 'git help' describes the '--guides'
option as listing 'useful' guides, which is not false per se but can
also be taken to mean that there are other guides that exist but are not
useful.
Instead of 'common' and 'useful', use 'Git concept guides' in both
places. To keep the code in line with this change, rename
help.c::list_common_guides_help to list_guides_help.

The guides 'gitcredentials' and 'gitremote-helpers' do not currently
appear in command-list.txt.
'gitcredentials' was forgotten back when guides were added to
command-list.txt in 1b81d8cb19 (help: use command-list.txt for the

'gitremote-helpers' was moved to section 7 in 439cc74632 (docs: move
gitremote-helpers into section 7, 2019-03-25), but command-list.txt was
not updated at the time.
Add these two guides to the list of guides in 'command-list.txt', so
that they appear in the output of 'git help --guides', and capitalize
the first word of the description of 'gitcredentials', as was done in
1b81d8c (help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides,
2018-05-20) for the other guides.
While at it, add a comment in Documentation/Makefile to remind developers
to update command-list.txt if they add a new guide.

If we're given an empty pathspec, we refuse to set up bloom filters, as
described in f3c2a36810 (revision: empty pathspecs should not use Bloom
filters, 2020-07-01).
But before the empty string check, we drop any trailing slash by
allocating a new string without it. So a pathspec consisting only of "/"
will allocate that string, but then still cause us to bail, leaking the
new string. Let's make sure to free it.

Running t4216 with ASan results in it complaining of an out-of-bounds
read in prepare_to_use_bloom_filter(). The issue is this code to strip a
trailing slash:
last_index = pi->len - 1;
if (pi->match[last_index] == '/') {
because we have no guarantee that pi->len isn't zero. This can happen if
the pathspec is ".", as we translate that to an empty string. And if
that read of random memory does trigger the conditional, we'd then do an
out-of-bounds write:
path_alloc = xstrdup(pi->match);
path_alloc[last_index] = '\0';
Let's make sure to check the length before subtracting. Note that for an
empty pathspec, we'd end up bailing from the function a few lines later,
which makes it tempting to just:
if (!pi->len)
return;
early here. But our code here is stripping a trailing slash, and we need
to check for emptiness after stripping that slash, too. So we'd have two
blocks, which would require repeating some cleanup code.
Instead, just skip the trailing-slash for an empty string. Setting
last_index at all in the case is awkward since it will have a nonsense
value (and it uses an "int", which is a too-small type for a string
anyway). So while we're here, let's:
- drop last_index entirely; it's only used in two spots right next to
each other and writing out "pi->len - 1" in both is actually easier
to follow
- use xmemdupz() to duplicate the string. This is slightly more
efficient, but more importantly makes the intent more clear by
allocating the correct-sized substring in the first place. It also
eliminates any question of whether path_alloc is as long as
pi->match (which it would not be if pi->match has any embedded NULs,
though in practice this is probably impossible).

Compiling with gcc-10, -O2, and -fsanitize=undefined results in a
compiler warning:
config.c: In function ‘git_config_copy_or_rename_section_in_file’:
config.c:3170:17: error: writing 1 byte into a region of size 0 [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
3170 | output[0] = '\t';
| ~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
config.c:3076:7: note: at offset -1 to object ‘buf’ with size 1024 declared here
3076 | char buf[1024];
| ^~~
This is a false positive. The interesting lines of code are:
int i;
char *output = buf;
...
for (i = 0; buf[i] && isspace(buf[i]); i++)
; /* do nothing */
...
int offset;
offset = section_name_match(&buf[i], old_name);
if (offset > 0) {
...
output += offset + i;
if (strlen(output) > 0) {
/*
* More content means there's
* a declaration to put on the
* next line; indent with a
* tab
*/
output -= 1;
output[0] = '\t';
}
}
So we do assign output to buf initially. Later we increment it based on
"offset" and "i" and then subtract "1" from it. That latter step is what
the compiler is complaining about; it could lead to going off the left
side of the array if "output == buf" at the moment of the subtraction.
For that to be the case, then "offset + i" would have to be 0. But that
can't happen:
- we know that "offset" is at least 1, since we're in a conditional
block that checks that
- we know that "i" is not negative, since it started at 0 and only
incremented over whitespace
So the sum must be at least 1, and therefore it's OK to subtract one
from "output".
But that's not quite the whole story. Since "i" is an int, it could in
theory be possible to overflow to negative (when counting whitespace on
a very large string). But we know that's impossible because we're
counting the 1024-byte buffer we just fed to fgets(), so it can never be
larger than that.
Switching the type of "i" to "unsigned" makes the warning go away, so
let's do that.
Arguably size_t is an even better type (for this and for the other
length fields), but switching to it produces a similar but distinct
warning:
config.c: In function ‘git_config_copy_or_rename_section_in_file’:
config.c:3170:13: error: array subscript -1 is outside array bounds of ‘char[1024]’ [-Werror=array-bounds]
3170 | output[0] = '\t';
| ~~~~~~^~~
config.c:3076:7: note: while referencing ‘buf’
3076 | char buf[1024];
| ^~~
If we were to ever switch off of fgets() to strbuf_getline() or similar,
we'd probably need to use size_t to avoid other overflow problems. But
for now we know we're safe because of the small fixed size of our
buffer.

The 'merge' command is not the only one that does merges; other commands
like checkout -m or rebase do as well. Unfortunately, the only area of
the code that checked for the "merge.renormalize" config setting was in
builtin/merge.c, meaning it could only affect merges performed by the
"merge" command. Move the handling of this config setting to
merge_recursive_config() so that other commands can benefit from it as
well. Fixes a few tests in t6038.

t6038.11, 'cherry-pick patch from after text=auto' was a test of
undefined behavior. To make matters worse, while there are a couple
possible correct answers, this test was coded to only check for an
obviously incorrect answer. And the final cherry on top is that the
test is marked test_expect_failure, meaning it can't provide much value,
other than possibly confusing future folks who come along and try to
work on attributes and look at existing tests. Because of all these
problems, just remove the test.
But for any future code spelunkers, here's my understanding of the two
possible correct answers:
This test was set up so that on a branch with no .gitattributes file,
you cherry-picked a patch from a branch that had a .gitattributes file
(containing '* text=auto'). Further, the two branches had a file which
differed only in line endings. In this situation, correct behavior is
not well defined: should the .gitattributes file affect the merge or
not?
If the .gitattributes file on the other branch should not affect the
merge, then we would have a content conflict with all three stages
different (the merge base didn't match either side).
If the .gitattributes file from the other branch should affect the
merge, then we would expect the line endings to be normalized to LF for
the version to be recorded in the repository. This would mean that when
doing a three-way content merge on the file that differed in line
endings, that the three-way content merge would see that the versions on
both sides matched and so the cherry-pick has no conflicts and can
succeed. The line endings in the file as recorded in the repository
will change from CRLF to LF. The version checked out in the working
copy will depend on the platform (since there's no eol attribute defined
for the file).
Also, as a final side note, this test expected an error message that was
built assuming cherry-pick was the old scripted version, because
cherry-pick no longer uses the error message that was encoded in this
test. So it was wrong for yet another reason.
Given that the handling of .gitattributes is not well defined and this
test was obviously broken and could do nothing but confuse future
readers, just remove it.

t6038 had a pair of tests that were expected to fail, but weren't
failing for the expected reason. Both were meant to do a merge that
could be done cleanly after renormalization, but were supposed to fail
for lack of renormalization. Unfortunately, both tests had staged
changes, and checkout -m would abort due to the presence of those staged
changes before even attempting a merge.
Fix this first issue by utilizing git-restore instead of git-checkout,
so that the index is left alone and just the working directory gets the
changes we want.
However, there is a second issue with these tests. Technically, they
just wanted to verify that after renormalization, no conflicts would be
present. This could have been checked for by grepping for a lack of
conflict markers, but the test instead tried to compare the working
directory files to an expected result. Unfortunately, the setting of
"text=auto" without setting core.eol to any value meant that the content
of the file (in particular, the line endings) would be
platform-dependent and the tests could only pass on some platforms.
Replace the existing comparison with a call to 'git diff --no-index
--ignore-cr-at-eol' to verify that the contents, other than possible
carriage returns in the file, match the expected results and in
particular that the file has no conflicts from the checkout -m
operation.

We use
printf '\0'
to generate a NUL byte which we then `dd` into the packfile to ensure
that we modify the first byte of the first object, thereby
(probabilistically) invalidating the checksum. Except the single quotes
we're using are interpreted to match with the ones we enclose the whole
test in. So we actually execute
printf \0
and end up injecting the ASCII code for "0", 0x30, instead.
The comment right above this `printf` invocation says that "at least one
of [the type bits] is not zero, so setting the first byte to 0 is
sufficient". Substituting "0x30" for "0" in that comment won't do: we'd
need to reason about which bits go where and just what the packfile
looks like that we're modifying in this test.
Let's avoid all of that by actually executing
printf "\0"
to generate a NUL byte, as intended.

In order for "git-worktree list" to present consistent results,
get_main_worktree() performs manual normalization on the repository
path (returned by get_common_dir()) after passing it through
strbuf_add_absolute_path(). In particular, it cleans up the path for
three distinct cases when the current working directory is (1) the main
worktree, (2) the .git/ subdirectory, or (3) a bare repository.
The need for such special-cases is a direct consequence of employing
strbuf_add_absolute_path() which, for the sake of efficiency, doesn't
bother normalizing the path (such as folding out redundant path
components) after making it absolute. Lack of normalization is not
typically a problem since redundant path elements make no difference
when working with paths at the filesystem level. However, when preparing
paths for presentation, possible redundant path components make it
difficult to ensure consistency.
Eliminate the need for these special cases by instead making the path
absolute via strbuf_add_real_path() which normalizes the path for us.
Once normalized, the only case we need to handle manually is converting
it to the path of the main worktree by stripping the "/.git" suffix.
This stripping of the "/.git" suffix is a regular idiom in
worktree-related code; for instance, it is employed by
get_linked_worktree(), as well.

The content of .git/worktrees/<id>/gitdir must be a path of the form
"/path/to/worktree/.git". Any other content would be indicative of a
corrupt "gitdir" file. To determine the path of the worktree itself one
merely strips the "/.git" suffix, and this is indeed how the worktree
path was determined from inception.
However, 5193490442 (worktree: add a function to get worktree details,
2015-10-08) extended the path manipulation in a mysterious way. If it is
unable to strip "/.git" from the path, then it instead reports the
current working directory as the linked worktree's path:
if (!strbuf_strip_suffix(&worktree_path, "/.git")) {
strbuf_reset(&worktree_path);
strbuf_add_absolute_path(&worktree_path, ".");
strbuf_strip_suffix(&worktree_path, "/.");
}
This logic is clearly bogus; it can never be generally correct behavior.
It materialized out of thin air in 5193490442 with neither explanation
nor tests to illustrate a case in which it would be desirable.
It's possible that this logic was introduced to somehow deal with a
corrupt "gitdir" file, so that it returns _some_ sort of meaningful
value, but returning the current working directory is not helpful. In
fact, it is quite misleading (except in the one specific case when the
current directory is the worktree whose "gitdir" entry is corrupt).
Moreover, reporting the corrupt value to the user, rather than fibbing
about it and hiding it outright, is more helpful since it may aid in
diagnosing the problem.
Therefore, drop this bogus path munging and restore the logic to the
original behavior of merely stripping "/.git".
