Complete paths after 'git worktree add <TAB>' and refs after 'git
worktree add -b <TAB>' and 'git worktree add some/dir <TAB>'.
Uncharacteristically for a Git command, 'git worktree add' takes a
mandatory path parameter before a commit-ish as its optional last
parameter. In addition, it has both standalone --options and options
with a mandatory unstuck parameter ('-b <new-branch>'). Consequently,
trying to complete refs for that last optional commit-ish parameter
resulted in a more convoluted than usual completion function, but
hopefully all the included comments will make it not too hard to
digest.

Complete the paths of existing working trees for 'git worktree's
'move', 'remove', 'lock', and 'unlock' subcommands.
Note that 'git worktree list --porcelain' shows absolute paths, so for
simplicity's sake we'll complete full absolute paths as well (as
opposed to turning them into relative paths by finding common leading
directories between $PWD and the working tree's path and removing
them, risking trouble with symbolic links or Windows drive letters; or
completing them one path component at a time).
Never list the path of the main working tree, as it cannot be moved,
removed, locked, or unlocked.
Ideally we would only list unlocked working trees for the 'move',
'remove', and 'lock' subcommands, and only locked ones for 'unlock'.
Alas, 'git worktree list --porcelain' doesn't indicate which working
trees are locked, so for now we'll complete the paths of all existing
working trees.

The completion function for 'git worktree' uses separate but very
similar case arms to complete --options for each subcommand.
Combine these into a single case arm to avoid repetition.
Note that after this change we won't complete 'git worktree remove's
'--force' option, but that is consistent with our general stance on
not offering '--force', as it should be used with care.

When using the __git_find_on_cmdline() helper function so far we've
only been interested in which one of a set of words appear on the
command line. To complete options for some of 'git worktree's
subcommands in the following patches we'll need not only that, but the
index of that word on the command line as well.
Extend __git_find_on_cmdline() to optionally show the index of the
found word on the command line (IOW in the $words array) when the
'--show-idx' option is given.

The __git_find_on_cmdline() helper function started its life as
__git_find_subcommand() [1], but it served a more general purpose than
looking for subcommands, so later it was renamed accordingly [2].
However, that rename didn't touch the body of the function, and left
the $subcommand local variable behind, still reminiscent of the
function's original purpose.
Let's clean up the names of __git_find_on_cmdline()'s local variables
and get rid of that $subcommand variable name.
While at it, add a short comment describing the function's purpose.

Previously, signature verification for merge and pull operations checked
if the key had a trust-level of either TRUST_NEVER or TRUST_UNDEFINED in
verify_merge_signature(). If that was the case, the process die()d.
The other code paths that did signature verification relied entirely on
the return code from check_commit_signature(). And signatures made with
a good key, irregardless of its trust level, was considered valid by
check_commit_signature().
This difference in behavior might induce users to erroneously assume
that the trust level of a key in their keyring is always considered by
Git, even for operations where it is not (e.g. during a verify-commit or
verify-tag).
The way it worked was by gpg-interface.c storing the result from the
key/signature status *and* the lowest-two trust levels in the `result`
member of the signature_check structure (the last of these status lines
that were encountered got written to `result`). These are documented in
GPG under the subsection `General status codes` and `Key related`,
respectively [1].
The GPG documentation says the following on the TRUST_ status codes [1]:
"""
These are several similar status codes:
- TRUST_UNDEFINED <error_token>
- TRUST_NEVER <error_token>
- TRUST_MARGINAL [0 [<validation_model>]]
- TRUST_FULLY [0 [<validation_model>]]
- TRUST_ULTIMATE [0 [<validation_model>]]
For good signatures one of these status lines are emitted to
indicate the validity of the key used to create the signature.
The error token values are currently only emitted by gpgsm.
"""
My interpretation is that the trust level is conceptionally different
from the validity of the key and/or signature. That seems to also have
been the assumption of the old code in check_signature() where a result
of 'G' (as in GOODSIG) and 'U' (as in TRUST_NEVER or TRUST_UNDEFINED)
were both considered a success.
The two cases where a result of 'U' had special meaning were in
verify_merge_signature() (where this caused git to die()) and in
format_commit_one() (where it affected the output of the %G? format
specifier).
I think it makes sense to refactor the processing of TRUST_ status lines
such that users can configure a minimum trust level that is enforced
globally, rather than have individual parts of git (e.g. merge) do it
themselves (except for a grace period with backward compatibility).
I also think it makes sense to not store the trust level in the same
struct member as the key/signature status. While the presence of a
TRUST_ status code does imply that the signature is good (see the first
paragraph in the included snippet above), as far as I can tell, the
order of the status lines from GPG isn't well-defined; thus it would
seem plausible that the trust level could be overwritten with the
key/signature status if they were stored in the same member of the
signature_check structure.
This patch introduces a new configuration option: gpg.minTrustLevel. It
consolidates trust-level verification to gpg-interface.c and adds a new
`trust_level` member to the signature_check structure.
Backward-compatibility is maintained by introducing a special case in
verify_merge_signature() such that if no user-configurable
gpg.minTrustLevel is set, then the old behavior of rejecting
TRUST_UNDEFINED and TRUST_NEVER is enforced. If, on the other hand,
gpg.minTrustLevel is set, then that value overrides the old behavior.
Similarly, the %G? format specifier will continue show 'U' for
signatures made with a key that has a trust level of TRUST_UNDEFINED or
TRUST_NEVER, even though the 'U' character no longer exist in the
`result` member of the signature_check structure. A new format
specifier, %GT, is also introduced for users that want to show all
possible trust levels for a signature.
Another approach would have been to simply drop the trust-level
requirement in verify_merge_signature(). This would also have made the
behavior consistent with other parts of git that perform signature
verification. However, requiring a minimum trust level for signing keys
does seem to have a real-world use-case. For example, the build system
used by the Qubes OS project currently parses the raw output from
verify-tag in order to assert a minimum trust level for keys used to
sign git tags [2].

Since 633a53179e (fetch test: avoid use of "VAR= cmd" with a shell
function, 2019-12-26), t5552.5 (do not send "have" with ancestors of
commits that server ACKed) fails when run with
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=2.
The cause:
The progression of "have"s sent in negotiation depends on whether we
are using a stateless RPC based transport or a stateful bidirectional
one (see for example 44d8dc54e7, "Fix potential local deadlock during
fetch-pack", 2011-03-29). In protocol v2, all transports are
stateless transports, while in protocol v0, transports such as local
access and ssh are stateful.
In stateful transports, the number of "have"s to send multiplies by
two each round until we reach PIPESAFE_FLUSH (that is, 32), and then
it increases by PIPESAFE_FLUSH each round. In stateless transport,
the count multiplies by two each round until we reach LARGE_FLUSH
(which is 16384) and then multiplies by 1.1 each round after that.
Moreover, in stateful transports, as fetch-pack.c explains:
We keep one window "ahead" of the other side, and will wait
for an ACK only on the next one.
This affects t5552.5 because it looks for "have"s from the negotiator
that appear in that second window. With protocol version 2, the
second window never arrives, and the test fails.
Until 633a53179e (2019-12-26), a previous test in the same file
contained
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION= trace_fetch client origin to_fetch
In many common shells (e.g. bash when run as "sh"), the setting of
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION to the empty string lasts beyond the
intended duration of the trace_fetch invocation. This causes it to
override the GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION setting that was passed in to
the test during the remainder of the test script, so t5552.5 never got
run using protocol v2 on those shells, regardless of the
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION setting from the environment. 633a53179e
fixed that, revealing the failing test.

in some shells, the assignment lasts for the duration of the function
invocation, and in others, it persists after the function returns.
Use an explicit subshell with the envvar exported to make the behavior
consistent across shells and crystal clear.
All previous instances of this pattern used "VAR=value" (with nonempty
`value`), which is already diagnosed automatically by "make test-lint"
since a0a630192d (t/check-non-portable-shell: detect "FOO=bar

Noticed using an improved "make test-lint".

This fix resolves the previously-added test_expect_failure in
t4215-log-skewed-merges.sh.
The issue lies in the "else" condition while updating the mapping
inside graph_output_collapsing_line(). In 0f0f389f (graph: tidy up
display of left-skewed merges, 2019-10-15), the output of left-
skewed merges was changed to allow an immediate horizontal edge in
the first parent, output by graph_output_post_merge_line() instead
of by graph_output_collapsing_line(). This condensed the first line
behavior as follows:
Before 0f0f389f:
| | | | | | *-.
| | | | | | |\ \
| |_|_|_|_|/ | |
|/| | | | | / /
After 0f0f389f:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | | | |/| /
However, a very subtle issue arose when the second and third parent
edges are collapsed in later steps. The second parent edge is now
immediately adjacent to a vertical edge. This means that the
condition
} else if (graph->mapping[i - 1] < 0) {
in graph_output_collapsing_line() evaluates as false. The block for
this condition was the only place where we connected the target
column with the current position with horizontal edge markers.
In this case, the final "else" block is run, and the edge is marked
as horizontal, but did not back-fill the blank columns between the
target and the current edge. Since the second parent edge is marked
as horizontal, the third parent edge is not marked as horizontal.
This causes the output to continue as follows:
Before this change:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | | | |/| /
| | | |/| |/
| | |/| |/|
| |/| |/| |
| | |/| | |
By adding the logic for "filling" a horizontal edge between the
target column and the current column, we are able to resolve the
issue.
After this change:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | |_|_|/| /
| |/| | | |/
| | | |_|/|
| | |/| | |
This output properly matches the expected blend of the edge
behavior before 0f0f389f and the merge commit rendering from
0f0f389f.

A previous test in t4215-log-skewed-merges.sh was added to demonstrate
exactly the topology of a reported failure in "git log --graph". While
investigating the fix, we realized that multiple edges that could
collapse with horizontal lines were not doing so.
Specifically, examine this section of the graph:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | | | |/| /
| | | |/| |/
| | |/| |/|
| |/| |/| |
| | |/| | |
| | * | | |
Document this behavior with a test. This behavior is new, as the
behavior in v2.24.1 has the following output:
| | | | | | *-.
| | | | | | |\ \
| |_|_|_|_|/ / /
|/| | | | | / /
| | |_|_|_|/ /
| |/| | | | /
| | | |_|_|/
| | |/| | |
| | * | | |
The behavior changed logically in 479db18b ("graph: smooth appearance
of collapsing edges on commit lines", 2019-10-15), but was actually
broken due to an assert() bug in 458152cc ("graph: example of graph
output that can be simplified", 2019-10-15). A future change could
modify this behavior to do the following instead:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | |_|_|/| /
| |/| | | |/
| | | |_|/|

Also move some old tests into the new tests: it doesn't seem reasonable
to have individual error condition tests.
Old test for `git commit` was corrected, previously it was instructed
to use stdin but wasn't provided with any stdin. While this works at
the moment, it's not exactly perfect.
Old tests for `git reset` were improved to test for a specific error

In 224c7d70fa1 (mingw: only test index entries for backslashes, not tree
entries, 2019-12-31), we relaxed the check for backslashes in tree
entries to check only index entries.
However, the code change was incorrect: it was added to
`add_index_entry_with_check()`, not to `add_index_entry()`, so under
certain circumstances it was possible to side-step the protection.
Besides, the description of that commit purported that all index entries
would be checked when in fact they were only checked when being added to
the index (there are code paths that do not do that, constructing
"transient" index entries).
In any case, it was pointed out in one insightful review at
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2437#issuecomment-566771835
that it would be a much better idea to teach `verify_path()` to perform
the check for a backslash. This is safer, even if it comes with two
notable drawbacks:
- `verify_path()` cannot say _what_ is wrong with the path, therefore
the user will no longer be told that there was a backslash in the
path, only that the path was invalid.
- The `git apply` command also calls the `verify_path()` function, and
might have been able to handle Windows-style paths (i.e. with
backslashes instead of forward slashes). This will no longer be
possible unless the user (temporarily) sets `core.protectNTFS=false`.
Note that `git add <windows-path>` will _still_ work because
`normalize_path_copy_len()` will convert the backslashes to forward
slashes before hitting the code path that creates an index entry.
The clear advantage is that `verify_path()`'s purpose is to check the
validity of the file name, therefore we naturally tap into all the code
paths that need safeguarding, also implicitly into future code paths.
The benefits of that approach outweigh the downsides, so let's move the
check from `add_index_entry_with_check()` to `verify_path()`.

The clear_ce_flags_dir() method processes the cache entries within
a common directory. The returned int is the number of cache entries
processed by that directory. When using the sparse-checkout feature
in cone mode, we can skip the pattern matching for entries in the
directories that are entirely included or entirely excluded.
eb42feca (unpack-trees: hash less in cone mode, 2019-11-21)
introduced this performance feature. The old mechanism relied on
the counts returned by calling clear_ce_flags_1(), but the new
mechanism calculated the number of rows by subtracting "cache_end"
from "cache" to find the size of the range. However, the equation
is wrong because it divides by sizeof(struct cache_entry *). This
is not how pointer arithmetic works!
A coverity build of Git for Windows in preparation for the 2.25.0
release found this issue with the warning, "Pointer differences,
such as cache_end - cache, are automatically scaled down by the
size (8 bytes) of the pointed-to type (struct cache_entry *).
Most likely, the division by sizeof(struct cache_entry *) is
extraneous and should be eliminated." This warning is correct.
This leaves us with the question "how did this even work?" The
problem that occurs with this incorrect pointer arithmetic is
a performance-only bug, and a very slight one at that. Since
the entry count returned by clear_ce_flags_dir() is reduced by
a factor of 8, the loop in clear_ce_flags_1() will re-process
entries from those directories.
By inserting global counters into unpack-tree.c and tracing
them with trace2_data_intmax() (in a private change, for
testing), I was able to see count how many times the loop inside
clear_ce_flags_1() processed an entry and how many times
clear_ce_flags_dir() was called. Each of these are reduced by at
least a factor of 8 with the current change. A factor larger
than 8 happens when multiple levels of directories are repeated.
Specifically, in the Linux kernel repo, the command
git sparse-checkout set LICENSES
restricts the working directory to only the files at root and
in the LICENSES directory. Here are the measured counts:
clear_ce_flags_1 loop blocks:
Before: 11,520
After: 1,621
clear_ce_flags_dir calls:
Before: 7,048
After: 606
While these are dramatic counts, the time spent in
clear_ce_flags_1() is under one millisecond in each case, so
the improvement is not measurable as an end-to-end time.
