For two cases in which we do not explicitly pass --track=<choice>
option down to the submodule--helper subprocess, we have comments
that say "we do not have to pass --track", but in fact we not just
do not have to, but it would be incorrect to pass any --track option
to the subprocess (instead, the correct behaviour is to let the
subprocess figure out what is the appropriate tracking mode to use).

If we die while trying to fsync a loose object file, pass the actual
filename we're trying to sync. This is likely to be more helpful for a
user trying to diagnose the cause of the failure than the former
'loose object file' string. It also sidesteps any concerns about
translating the die message differently for loose objects versus
something else that has a real path.

"git branch --recurse-submodules" does not propagate "--track=inherit"
or "--no-track" to submodules, which causes submodule branches to use
the wrong tracking mode [1]. To fix this, pass the correct options to
the "submodule--helper create-branch" child process and test for it.
While we are refactoring the same code, replace "--track" with the
synonymous, but more consistent-looking "--track=direct" option
(introduced at the same time as "--track=inherit", d3115660b4 (branch:
add flags and config to inherit tracking, 2021-12-20)).
[1] This bug is partially a timing issue: "branch --recurse-submodules"
was introduced around the same time as "--track=inherit", and even
though I rebased "branch --recurse-submodules" on top of that, I had
neglected to support the new tracking mode. Omitting "--no-track"
was just a plain old mistake, though.

cmd_reflog() invokes parse_options() with PARSE_OPT_KEEP_ARGV0, but it
doesn't account for the retained argv[0] before invoking
cmd_reflog_show() to handle the 'git reflog show' subcommand.
Consequently, cmd_reflog_show() always gets an 'argv' array starting
with elements argv[0]="reflog" and argv[1]="show".
Strip the name of the git command from the 'argv' array before passing
it to the function handling the 'show' subcommand.
There is no user-visible bug here, because cmd_reflog_show() doesn't
have any options or parameters of its own.

"reftable/generic.c", line 133.26: 1506-196 (S) Initialization
between types "char*" and "struct reftable_ref_record" is not

The syntax in the pre-image is supported by e.g. xlc 13.01 on a newer

In the preceding [1] (pack-objects: move revs out of
get_object_list(), 2022-03-22) the "repo_init_revisions()" was moved
to cmd_pack_objects() so that it unconditionally took place for all
invocations of "git pack-objects".
We'd thus start leaking memory, which is easily reproduced in
e.g. git.git by feeding e83c5163316 (Initial revision of "git", the
information manager from hell, 2005-04-07) to "git pack-objects";

Aborted
Narrowly fixing that commit would have been easy, just add call
repo_init_revisions() right before get_object_list(), which is
effectively what was done before that commit.
But an unstated constraint when setting it up early is that it was
needed for the subsequent [2] (pack-objects: parse --filter directly
into revs.filter, 2022-03-22), i.e. we might have a --filter
command-line option, and need to either have the "struct rev_info"
setup when we encounter that option, or later.
Let's just change the control flow so that we'll instead set up the
"struct rev_info" only when we need it. Doing so leads to a bit more
verbosity, but it's a lot clearer what we're doing and why.
An earlier version of this commit[3] went behind
opt_parse_list_objects_filter()'s back by faking up a "struct option"
before calling it. Let's avoid that and instead create a blessed API
for this pattern.
We could furthermore combine the two get_object_list() invocations
here by having repo_init_revisions() invoked on &pfd.revs, but I think
clearly separating the two makes the flow clearer. Likewise
redundantly but explicitly (i.e. redundant v.s. a "{ 0 }") "0" to
"have_revs" early in cmd_pack_objects().
While we're at it add parentheses around the arguments to the OPT_*
macros in in list-objects-filter-options.h, as we need to change those
lines anyway. It doesn't matter in this case, but is good general
practice.

The implementation of test_subcommand_inexact() was originally
introduced in e4d0c11c0 (repack: respect kept objects with '--write-midx
-b', 2021-12-20) with the intention to allow finding a subcommand based
on an initial set of arguments. The inexactness was intended as a way to
allow flexible options beyond that initial set, as opposed to
test_subcommand() which requires that the full list of options is
provided in its entirety.
The implementation began by copying test_subcommand() and replaced the
repeated argument 'printf' statement to append ".*" instead of "," to
each argument. This caused it to be more flexible than initially
intended.
The previous change deleted the only use of test_subcommand_inexact, so
instead of editing the helper, delete it.

The '--write-midx -b packs non-kept objects' test in t7700-repack.sh
uses test_subcommand_inexact to check that 'git repack' properly adds
the '--honor-pack-keep' flag to the 'git pack-objects' subcommand.
However, the test_subcommand_inexact helper is more flexible than
initially designed, and this instance is the only one that makes use of
it: there are additional arguments between 'git pack-objects' and the
'--honor-pack-keep' flag. In order to make test_subcommand_inexact more
strict, we need to fix this instance.
This test checks that 'git repack --write-midx -a -b -d' will create a
new pack-file that does not contain the objects within the kept pack.
This behavior is possible because of the multi-pack-index bitmap that
will bitmap objects against multiple packs. Without --write-midx, the
objects in the kept pack would be duplicated so the resulting pack is
closed under reachability and bitmaps can be created against it. This is
discussed in more detail in e4d0c11c0 (repack: respect kept objects with
'--write-midx -b', 2021-12-20) which also introduced this instance of
test_subcommand_inexact.
To better verify the intended post-conditions while also removing this
instance of test_subcommand_inexact, rewrite the test to check the list
of packed objects in the kept pack and the list of the objects in the
newly-repacked pack-file _other_ than the kept pack. These lists should
be disjoint.
Be sure to include a non-kept pack-file and loose objects to be extra
careful that this is properly behaving with kept packs and not just
avoiding repacking all pack-files.

In the short help output from "git reset -h", the recently added
"--[no-]refresh" option is shown like so:
--refresh skip refreshing the index after reset
which explains what happens when the option is given in the negative
form, i.e. "--no-refresh". We could rephrase the explanation to
read "refresh the index after reset (default)" to hint that the user
can say "--no-refresh" to override the default, but listing the
"--no-refresh" form in the list of options would be more helpful.

PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP here, as well as making sure that we'll
still pass through "--" by supplying PARSE_OPT_KEEP_DASHDASH. For that
test we need to change "test_commit()" to accept files starting with
"--".
The "git reflog -h" usage will now show the usage for all of the
sub-commands, rather than a terse summary which wasn't
correct (e.g. "git reflog exists" is not a valid command). See my
8757b35d443 (commit-graph: define common usage with a macro,
2021-08-23) for prior art.

Remove the 'reset.refresh' option, requiring that users explicitly specify
'--no-refresh' if they want to skip refreshing the index.
The 'reset.refresh' option was introduced in 101cee42dd (reset: introduce
--[no-]refresh option to --mixed, 2022-03-11) as a replacement for the
refresh-skipping behavior originally controlled by 'reset.quiet'.
Although 'reset.refresh=false' functionally served the same purpose as
'reset.quiet=true', it exposed [1] the fact that the existence of a global
"skip refresh" option could potentially cause problems for users. Allowing a
global config option to avoid refreshing the index forces scripts using 'git
reset --mixed' to defensively use '--refresh' if index refresh is expected;
if that option is missing, behavior of a script could vary from user-to-user
without explanation.
Furthermore, globally disabling index refresh in 'reset --mixed' was
initially devised as a passive performance improvement; since the
introduction of the option, other changes have been made to Git (e.g., the
sparse index) with a greater potential performance impact without
sacrificing index correctness. Therefore, we can more aggressively err on
the side of correctness and limit the cases of skipping index refresh to
only when a user specifies the '--no-refresh' option.
