Many places in the code were doing
while ((d = readdir(dir)) != NULL) {
if (is_dot_or_dotdot(d->d_name))
continue;
...process d...
}
Introduce a readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot() helper to make that a one-liner:
while ((d = readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot(dir)) != NULL) {
...process d...
}
This helper particularly simplifies checks for empty directories.
Also use this helper in read_cached_dir() so that our statistics are
consistent across platforms. (In other words, read_cached_dir() should
have been using is_dot_or_dotdot() and skipping such entries, but did
not and left it to treat_path() to detect and mark such entries as
path_none.)

The documentation comment for treat_directory() was originally written
in 095952 (Teach directory traversal about subprojects, 2007-04-11)
which was before the 'struct dir_struct' split its bitfield of named
options into a 'flags' enum in 7c4c97c0 (Turn the flags in struct
dir_struct into a single variable, 2009-02-16). When those flags
changed, the comment became stale, since members like
'show_other_directories' transitioned into flags like
DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES.
Update the comments for treat_directory() to use these flag names rather
than the old member names.

A directory that is untracked does not imply that all files under it
should be categorized as untracked; in particular, if the caller is
interested in ignored files, many files or directories underneath the
untracked directory may be ignored. We previously partially handled
this right with DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO, but missed DIR_SHOW_IGNORED. It
was not obvious, though, because the logic for untracked and excluded
files had been fused together making it harder to reason about. The
previous commit split that logic out, making it easier to notice that
DIR_SHOW_IGNORED was missing. Add it.

The show_other_directories case in treat_directory() tried to handle
both excludes and untracked files with the same logic, and mishandled
both the excludes and the untracked files in the process, in different
ways. Split that logic apart, and then focus on the logic for the
excludes; a subsequent commit will address the logic for untracked
files.
For show_other_directories, an excluded directory means that
every path underneath that directory will also be excluded. Given that
the calling code requested to just show directories when everything
under a directory had the same state (that's what the
"DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES" flag means), we generally do not need to
traverse into such directories and can just immediately mark them as
ignored (i.e. as path_excluded). The only reason we cannot just
immediately return path_excluded is the DIR_HIDE_EMPTY_DIRECTORIES flag
and the possibility that the ignored directory is an empty directory.
The code previously treated DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO in most cases as an
exception as well, which was wrong. It can sometimes reduce the number
of cases where we need to recurse (namely if
DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING is also set), but should not be able
to increase the number of cases where we need to recurse. Fix the logic
accordingly.
Some sidenotes about possible confusion with dir.c:
* "ignored" often refers to an untracked ignore", i.e. a file which is
not tracked which matches one of the ignore/exclusion rules. But you
can also have a "tracked ignore", a tracked file that happens to match
one of the ignore/exclusion rules and which dir.c has to worry about
since "git ls-files -c -i" is supposed to list them.
* The dir code often uses "ignored" and "excluded" interchangeably,
which you need to keep in mind while reading the code.
* "exclude" is used multiple ways in the code:
* As noted above, "exclude" is often a synonym for "ignored".
* The logic for parsing .gitignore files was re-used in
.git/info/sparse-checkout, except there it is used to mark paths that
the user wants to *keep*. This was mostly addressed by commit
65edd96aec ("treewide: rename 'exclude' methods to 'pattern'",
2019-09-03), but every once in a while you'll find a comment about
"exclude" referring to these patterns that might in fact be in use
by the sparse-checkout machinery for inclusion rules.
* The word "EXCLUDE" is also used for pathspec negation, as in
(pathspec->items[3].magic & PATHSPEC_EXCLUDE)
Thus if a user had a .gitignore file containing
*~
*.log
!settings.log
And then ran
git add -- 'settings.*' ':^settings.log'
Then :^settings.log is a pathspec negation making settings.log not
be requested to be added even though all other settings.* files are
being added. Also, !settings.log in the gitignore file is a negative
exclude pattern meaning that settings.log is normally a file we
want to track even though all other *.log files are ignored.
Sometimes it feels like dir.c needs its own glossary with its many
definitions, including the multiply-defined terms.

In the last commit, we added a testcase showing that the directory
traversal machinery sometimes traverses into directories unnecessarily.
Here we show that there are cases where it does the opposite: it does
not traverse into directories, despite those directories having
important files that need to be flagged.
Add a testcase showing that `git ls-files -o -i --directory` can omit
some of the files it should be listing, and another showing that `git
clean -fX` can fail to clean out some of the expected files.

The PNPM package manager is apparently creating deeply nested (but
ignored) directory structures; traversing them is costly
performance-wise, unnecessary, and in some cases is even throwing
warnings/errors because the paths are too long to handle on various
platforms. Add a testcase that checks for such unnecessary directory
traversal.

ls-files --ignored can be used together with either --others or
--cached. After being perplexed for a bit and digging in to the code, I
assumed that ls-files -i was just broken and not printing anything and
I had a nice patch ready to submit when I finally realized that -i can be
used with --cached to find tracked ignores.
While that was a mistake on my part, and a careful reading of the
documentation could have made this more clear, I suspect this is an
error others are likely to make as well. In fact, of two uses in our
testsuite, I believe one of the two did make this error. In t1306.13,
there are NO tracked files, and all the excludes built up and used in
that test and in previous tests thus have to be about untracked files.
However, since they were looking for an empty result, the mistake went
unnoticed as their erroneous command also just happened to give an empty
answer.
-i will most the time be used with -o, which would suggest we could just
make -i imply -o in the absence of either a -o or -c, but that would be
a backward incompatible break. Instead, let's just flag -i without
either a -o or -c as an error, and update the two relevant testcases to
specify their intent.

In 56c6910028a (fsmonitor: change last update timestamp on the
index_state to opaque token, 2020-01-07), we forgot to adjust the part
of `unpack_trees()` that copies the FSMonitor "last-update" information
that we copy from the source index to the result index since 679f2f9fdd2
(unpack-trees: skip stat on fsmonitor-valid files, 2019-11-20).
Since the "last-update" information is no longer a 64-bit number, but a
free-form string that has been allocated, we need to duplicate it rather
than just copying it.
This is important because there _are_ cases when `unpack_trees()` will
perform a oneway merge that implicitly calls `refresh_fsmonitor()`
(which will allocate that "last-update" token). This happens _after_
that token was copied into the result index. However, we _then_ call
`check_updates()` on that index, which will _also_ call
`refresh_fsmonitor()`, accessing the "last-update" string, which by now
would be released already.
In the instance that lead to this patch, this caused a segmentation
fault during a lengthy, complicated rebase involving the todo command
`reset` that (crucially) had to updated many files. Unfortunately, it
seems very hard to trigger that crash, therefore this patch is not
accompanied by a regression test.

This patch fixes a bug where git-bisect doesn't handle receiving
annotated tags as "git bisect good <tag>", etc. It's a regression in
27257bc466 (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_state` & `bisect_head`
shell functions in C, 2020-10-15).
The original shell code called:
sha=$(git rev-parse --verify "$rev^{commit}") ||
die "$(eval_gettext "Bad rev input: \$rev")"
which will peel the input to a commit (or complain if that's not
possible). But the C code just calls get_oid(), which will yield the oid
of the tag.
The fix is to peel to a commit. The error message here is a little
non-idiomatic for Git (since it starts with a capital). I've mostly left
it, as it matches the other converted messages (like the "Bad rev input"
we print when get_oid() fails), though I did add an indication that it
was the peeling that was the problem. It might be worth taking a pass
through this converted code to modernize some of the error messages.
Note also that the test does a bare "grep" (not i18ngrep) on the
expected "X is the first bad commit" output message. This matches the
rest of the test script.

4f37d45706 ("clone: respect remote unborn HEAD", 2021-02-05) introduces
a new feature (if the remote has an unborn HEAD, e.g. when the remote
repository is empty, use it as the name of the branch) that only works
in protocol v2, but did not ensure that one of its tests always uses
protocol v2, and thus that test would fail if
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0 (or 1) is used. Therefore, add "-c
protocol.version=2" to the appropriate test.
(The rest of the tests from that commit have "-c protocol.version=2"
already added.)

query_result can be be an empty strbuf (STRBUF_INIT) - in that case
trying to read 3 bytes triggers a buffer overflow read (as
query_result.buf = '\0').
Therefore we need to check query_result's length before trying to read 3
bytes.
This overflow was introduced in:
940b94f35c (fsmonitor: log invocation of FSMonitor hook to trace2, 2021-02-03)
It was found when running the test-suite against ASAN, and can be most

In particular, this describes mergetool.hideResolved, which can help
users discover this setting (either because it may be useful to them
or in order to understand mergetool's behavior if they have forgotten
setting it in the past).
Tested by running
make -C Documentation git-mergetool.1
man Documentation/git-mergetool.1
and reading through the page.

When 98ea309b3f (mergetool: add hideResolved configuration,
2021-02-09) introduced the mergetool.hideResolved setting to reduce
the clutter in viewing non-conflicted sections of files in a
mergetool, it enabled it by default, explaining:
No adverse effects were noted in a small survey of popular mergetools[1]
so this behavior defaults to `true`.
In practice, alas, adverse effects do appear. A few issues:
1. No indication is shown in the UI that the base, local, and remote
versions shown have been modified by additional resolution. This
is inherent in the design: the idea of mergetool.hideResolved is to
convince a mergetool that expects pristine local, base, and remote
files to show partially resolved verisons of those files instead;
there is no additional source of information accessible to the
mergetool to see where the resolution has happened.
(By contrast, a mergetool generating the partial resolution from
conflict markers for itself would be able to hilight the resolved
sections with a different color.)
A user accustomed to seeing the files without partial resolution
gets no indication that this behavior has changed when they upgrade
Git.
2. If the computed merge did not line up the files correctly (for
example due to repeated sections in the file), the partially
resolved files can be misleading and do not have enough information
to reconstruct what happened and compute the correct merge result.
3. Resolving a conflict can involve information beyond the textual
conflict. For example, if the local and remote versions added
overlapping functionality in different ways, seeing the full
unresolved versions of each alongside the base gives information
about each side's intent that makes it possible to come up with a
resolution that combines those two intents. By contrast, when
starting with partially resolved versions of those files, one can
produce a subtly wrong resolution that includes redundant extra
code added by one side that is not needed in the approach taken
on the other.
All that said, a user wanting to focus on textual conflicts with
reduced clutter can still benefit from mergetool.hideResolved=true as
a way to deemphasize sections of the code that resolve cleanly without
requiring any changes to the invoked mergetool. The caveats described
above are reduced when the user has explicitly turned this on, because
then the user is aware of them.
Flip the default to 'false'.
