merge_trees() took a results parameter that would only be written when
opt->call_depth was positive, which is never the case now that
merge_trees_internal() has been split from merge_trees(). Remove the
misleading and unused parameter from merge_trees().
While at it, add some comments explaining how the output of
merge_trees() and merge_recursive() differ.

We had a rule to enforce that the index matches head, but it was found
at the beginning of merge_trees() and would only trigger when
opt->call_depth was 0. Since merge_recursive() doesn't call
merge_trees() until after returning from recursing, this meant that the
check wasn't triggered by merge_recursive() until it had first finished
all the intermediate merges to create virtual merge bases. That is a
potentially huge amount of computation (and writing of intermediate
merge results into the .git/objects directory) before it errors out and
says, in effect, "Sorry, I can't do any merging because you have some
local changes that would be overwritten."
Further, not enforcing this requirement earlier allowed other bugs (such
as an unintentional unconditional dropping and reloading of the index in
merge_recursive() even when no recursion was necessary), to mask bugs in
other callers (which were fixed in the commit prior to this one).
Make sure we do the index == head check at the beginning of the merge,
and error out immediately if it fails. While we're at it, fix a small
leak in the show-the-error codepath.

This is the bug that just won't die; there always seems to be another
form of it somewhere. See the commit message of 55f39cf7551b ("merge:
fix misleading pre-merge check documentation", 2018-06-30) for a more
detailed explanation), but in short:
<quick summary>
builtin/merge.c contains this important requirement for merge
strategies:
...the index must be in sync with the head commit. The strategies are
responsible to ensure this.
This condition is important to enforce because there are two likely
failure cases when the index isn't in sync with the head commit:
* we silently throw away changes the user had staged before the merge
* we accidentally (and silently) include changes in the merge that
were not part of either of the branches/trees being merged
Discarding users' work and mis-merging are both bad outcomes, especially
when done silently, so naturally this rule was stated sternly -- but,
unfortunately totally ignored in practice unless and until actual bugs
were found. But, fear not: the bugs from this were fixed in commit
ee6566e8d70d ("[PATCH] Rewrite read-tree", 2005-09-05)
through a rewrite of read-tree (again, commit 55f39cf7551b has a more
detailed explanation of how this affected merge). And it was fixed
again in commit
160252f81626 ("git-merge-ours: make sure our index matches HEAD", 2005-11-03)
...and it was fixed again in commit
3ec62ad9ffba ("merge-octopus: abort if index does not match HEAD", 2016-04-09)
...and again in commit
65170c07d466 ("merge-recursive: avoid incorporating uncommitted changes in a merge", 2017-12-21)
...and again in commit
eddd1a411d93 ("merge-recursive: enforce rule that index matches head before merging", 2018-06-30)
...with multiple testcases added to the testsuite that could be
enumerated in even more commits.
Then, finally, in a patch in the same series as the last fix above, the
documentation about this requirement was fixed in commit 55f39cf7551b
("merge: fix misleading pre-merge check documentation", 2018-06-30), and
we all lived happily ever after...
</quick summary>
Unfortunately, "ever after" apparently denotes a limited time and it
expired today. The merge-recursive rule to enforce that index matches
head was at the beginning of merge_trees() and would only trigger when
opt->call_depth was 0. Since merge_recursive() doesn't call
merge_trees() until after returning from recursing, this meant that the
check wasn't triggered by merge_recursive() until it had first finished
all the intermediate merges to create virtual merge bases. That is a
potentially HUGE amount of computation (and writing of intermediate
merge results into the .git/objects directory) before it errors out and
says, in effect, "Sorry, I can't do any merging because you have some
local changes that would be overwritten."
Trying to enforce that all of merge_trees(), merge_recursive(), and
merge_recursive_generic() checked the index == head condition earlier
resulted in a bunch of broken tests. It turns out that
merge_recursive() has code to drop and reload the cache while recursing
to create intermediate virtual merge bases, but unfortunately that code
runs even when no recursion is necessary. This unconditional dropping
and reloading of the cache masked a few bugs:
* builtin/merge-recursive.c: didn't even bother loading the index.
* builtin/stash.c: feels like a fake 'builtin' because it repeatedly
invokes git subprocesses all over the place, mixed with other
operations. In particular, invoking "git reset" will reset the
index on disk, but the parent process that invoked it won't
automatically have its in-memory index updated.
* t3030-merge-recursive.h: this test has always been broken in that it
didn't make sure to make index match head before running. But, it
didn't care about the index or even the merge result, just the
verbose output while running. While commit eddd1a411d93
("merge-recursive: enforce rule that index matches head before
merging", 2018-06-30) should have uncovered this broken test, it
used a test_must_fail wrapper around the merge-recursive call
because it was known that the merge resulted in a rename/rename
conflict. Thus, that fix only made this test fail for a different
reason, and since the index == head check didn't happen until after
coming all the way back out of the recursion, the testcase had
enough information to pass the one check that it did perform.
So, load the index in builtin/merge-recursive.c, reload the in-memory
index in builtin/stash.c, and modify the t3030 testcase to correctly
setup the index and make sure that the test fails in the expected way
(meaning it reports a rename/rename conflict). This makes sure that
all callers actually make the index match head. The next commit will
then enforce the condition that index matches head earlier so this
problem doesn't return in the future.

There is a 'free_buf' label to which all but one of the error paths in
update_file_flags() jump; that error case involves a NULL buf and is
thus not a memory leak. However, make that error case execute the same
deallocation code anyway so that if anyone adds any additional memory
allocations or deallocations, then all error paths correctly deallocate
resources.

In commit 7ca56aa07619 ("merge-recursive: add a label for ancestor",
2010-03-20), a label was added for the '||||||' line to make it have
the more informative heading '|||||| merged common ancestors', with
the statement:
It would be nicer to use a more informative label. Perhaps someone
will provide one some day.
This chosen label was perfectly reasonable when recursiveness kicks in,
i.e. when there are multiple merge bases. (I can't think of a better
label in such cases.) But it is actually somewhat misleading when there
is a unique merge base or no merge base. Change this based on the
number of merge bases:
>=2: "merged common ancestors"
1: <abbreviated commit hash>
0: "<empty tree>"
Tests have also been added to check that we get the right ancestor name
for each of the three cases.
Also, since merge_recursive() and merge_trees() have polar opposite
pre-conditions for opt->ancestor, document merge_recursive()'s
pre-condition with an assertion. (An assertion was added to
merge_trees() already a few commits ago.) The differences in
pre-conditions stem from two factors: (1) merge_trees() does not recurse
and thus does not have multiple sub-merges to worry about -- each of
which would require a different value for opt->ancestor, (2)
merge_trees() is only passed trees rather than commits and thus cannot
internally guess as good of a label. Thus, while external callers of
merge_trees() are required to provide a non-NULL opt->ancestor,
merge_recursive() expects to set this value itself.

We always want our conflict hunks to be labelled so that users can know
where each came from. The previous commit fixed the one caller in the
codebase which was not setting opt->ancestor (and thus not providing a
label for the "merge base" conflict hunk in diff3-style conflict
markers); add an assertion to prevent future codepaths from also
overlooking this requirement.
Enforcing this requirement also allows us to simplify the code for
labelling the conflict hunks by no longer checking if the ancestor label
is NULL.

When running 'git checkout -m' and using diff3 style conflict markers,
we want all the conflict hunks (left-side, "common" or "merge base", and
right-side) to have label markers letting the user know where each came
from. The "common" hunk label (o.ancestor) came from
old_branch_info->name, but that is NULL when HEAD is detached, which
resulted in a blank label. Check for that case and provide an
abbreviated commit hash instead.
(Incidentally, this was the only case in the git codebase where
merge_trees() was called with opt->ancestor being NULL. A subsequent
commit will prevent similar problems by enforcing that merge_trees()
always be called with opt->ancestor != NULL.)

In commit 8daec1df03de ("merge-recursive: switch from (oid,mode) pairs
to a diff_filespec", 2019-04-05), an assertion on a->path && b->path
was added for code readability to document that these both needed to be
non-NULL at this point in the code. However, the subsequent lines also
read o->path, so it should be included in the assert.

Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran
"git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases
where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed
one of the repeated words.
There were many false positives by this grep command, including
deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that
that" which I left alone, of course.
I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated
words in old RelNotes.

t1410.3 ("corrupt and checks") fails when run using dash versions
before 0.5.8, with a cryptic message:
mv: cannot stat '.git/objects//e84adb2704cbd49549e52169b4043871e13432': No such file or directory
The function generating that path:
test_oid_to_path () {
echo "${1%${1#??}}/${1#??}"
}
which is supposed to produce a result like
12/3456789....
But a dash bug[*] causes it to instead expand to
/3456789...
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.
Noticed by building on Ubuntu trusty, which uses dash 0.5.7.
[*] Fixed by v0.5.8~13 ("[EXPAND] Propagate EXP_QPAT in subevalvar, 2013-08-23).

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.
