A signature attached to a signed commit, and the contents of the
commit that merged a signed tag, are both recorded as a value of an
object header field as a multi-line value, and are subject to the
formatting convention for multi-line values in the headers, with a
leading SP signaling that the rest of the line is a continuation of
the previous line. Most notably, an empty line in such a multi-line
value would result in a line with a sole SP on it.
Examples in the signature-format technical documentation include a
few of these cases but we did not show these otherwise invisible SPs
in the example. These trailing spaces cannot be seen on display or
on paper, and forces the readers to look for them in their editors
or pagers, even if we added them to the document.
Extend the overview section to explain the multi-line value
formatting and highlight these otherwise invisible SPs by inventing
the "a dollar-sign at the end of line that appears after SP merely
signals that there is a SP there, and the dollar-sign itself does
not appear in the real file" notation, inspired by "cat -e" output,
to help readers to learn exactly where such "a single SP that is
originally an empty line" appears in the examples.

Create "child_ready" event to capture the state of a child process
created in the background.
When a child command is started a "child_start" event is generated in
the Trace2 log. For normal synchronous children, a "child_exit" event
is later generated when the child exits or is terminated. The two events
include information, such as the "child_id" and "pid", to allow post
analysis to match-up the command line and exit status.
When a child is started in the background (and may outlive the parent
process), it is not possible for the parent to emit a "child_exit"
event. Create a new "child_ready" event to indicate whether the
child was successfully started. Also include the "child_id" and "pid"
to allow similar post processing.
This will be used in a later commit with the new "start_bg_command()".

We've never documented the fact that a client can provide multiple
ref-prefix capabilities. Let's describe the behavior.
We also never discussed the "best effort" nature of the prefixes. The
client side of git.git has always treated them this way, filtering the
result with local patterns. And indeed any client must do this, because
the prefix patterns are not sufficient to express the usual refspecs
(and so for "foo" we ask for "refs/heads/foo", "refs/tags/foo", and so
on).
So this may be considered a change in the spec with respect to client
expectations / requirements, but it's mostly codifying existing
behavior.

As was noted in 1a85b49b87a (parse-options: make OPT_ARGUMENT() more
useful, 2019-03-14) there's only ever been one user of the
OPT_ARGUMENT(), that user was added in 20de316e334 (difftool: allow
running outside Git worktrees with --no-index, 2019-03-14).
The OPT_ARGUMENT() feature itself was added way back in
580d5bffdea (parse-options: new option type to treat an option-like
parameter as an argument., 2008-03-02), but as discussed in
1a85b49b87a wasn't used until 20de316e334 in 2019.
Now that the preceding commit has migrated this code over to using
"struct strvec" to manage the "args" member of a "struct
child_process", we can just use that directly instead of relying on
OPT_ARGUMENT.
This has a minor change in behavior in that if we'll pass --no-index
we'll now always pass it as the first argument, before we'd pass it in
whatever position the caller did. Preserving this was the real value
of OPT_ARGUMENT(), but as it turns out we didn't need that either. We
can always inject it as the first argument, the other end will parse
it just the same.
Note that we cannot remove the "out" and "cpidx" members of "struct
parse_opt_ctx_t" added in 580d5bffdea, while they were introduced with
OPT_ARGUMENT() we since used them for other things.

Update the technical documentation to describe the multi-pack bitmap
format. This patch merely introduces the new format, and describes its
high-level ideas. Git does not yet know how to read nor write these
multi-pack variants, and so the subsequent patches will:
- Introduce code to interpret multi-pack bitmaps, according to this
document.
- Then, introduce code to write multi-pack bitmaps from the 'git
multi-pack-index write' sub-command.
Finally, the implementation will gain tests in subsequent patches (as
opposed to inline with the patch teaching Git how to write multi-pack
bitmaps) to avoid a cyclic dependency.

The --advertise-refs documentation in git-upload-pack added in
9812f2136b3 (upload-pack.c: use parse-options API, 2016-05-31) hasn't
been entirely true ever since v2 support was implemented in
e52449b6722 (connect: request remote refs using v2, 2018-03-15). Under
v2 we don't advertise the refs at all, but rather dump the
capabilities header.
This option has always been an obscure internal implementation detail,
it wasn't even documented for git-receive-pack. Since it has exactly
one user let's rename it to --http-backend-info-refs, which is more
accurate and points the reader in the right direction. Let's also
cross-link this from the protocol v1 and v2 documentation.
I'm retaining a hidden --advertise-refs alias in case there's any
external users of this, and making both options hidden to the bash
completion (as with most other internal-only options).

It can be useful to tell who invoked Git - was it invoked manually by a
user via CLI or script? By an IDE? In some cases - like 'repo' tool -
we can influence the source code and set the GIT_TRACE2_PARENT_SID
environment variable from the caller process. In 'repo''s case, that
parent SID is manipulated to include the string "repo", which means we
can positively identify when Git was invoked by 'repo' tool. However,
identifying parents that way requires both that we know which tools
invoke Git and that we have the ability to modify the source code of
those tools. It cannot scale to keep up with the various IDEs and
wrappers which use Git, most of which we don't know about. Learning
which tools and wrappers invoke Git, and how, would give us insight to
decide where to improve Git's usability and performance.
Unfortunately, there's no cross-platform reliable way to gather the name
of the parent process. If procfs is present, we can use that; otherwise
we will need to discover the name another way. However, the process ID
should be sufficient to look up the process name on most platforms, so
that code may be shareable.
Git for Windows gathers similar information and logs it as a "data_json"
event. However, since "data_json" has a variable format, it is difficult
to parse effectively in some languages; instead, let's pursue a
dedicated "cmd_ancestry" event to record information about the ancestry
of the current process and a consistent, parseable way.
Git for Windows also gathers information about more than one generation
of parent. In Linux further ancestry info can be gathered with procfs,
but it's unwieldy to do so. In the interest of later moving Git for
Windows ancestry logging to the 'cmd_ancestry' event, and in the
interest of later adding more ancestry to the Linux implementation - or
of adding this functionality to other platforms which have an easier
time walking the process tree - let's make 'cmd_ancestry' accept an
array of parentage.

We will soon be adding an optimization that caches (in memory only,
never written to disk) upstream renames during a sequence of merges such
as occurs during a cherry-pick or rebase operation. Add several tests

optimization as well.

Remembering renames on the upstream side of history in an early merge of
a rebase or cherry-pick for re-use in a latter merge of the same
operation makes pretty good intuitive sense. However, trying to show
that it doesn't cause some subtle behavioral difference or some funny
edge or corner case is much more involved. And, in fact, it does
introduce a subtle behavioral change.
Document all the assumptions, special cases, and logic involved in such
an optimization, and describe why this optimization is safe under the
current optimizations/features/etc. -- even when the subtle behavioral
change is triggered.
Part of the point of adding this document that goes over the
optimization in such laborious detail, is that it is possible that
significant future changes (optimizations or feature changes) could
interact with this optimization in interesting ways; this document is
here to help folks making big changes sanity check that the assumptions
and arguments underlying this optimization are still valid. (As a side
note, creating this document forced me to review things in sufficient
detail that I found I was not properly caching directory-rename-induced
renames, resulting in the code not being aware of those renames and
causing unnecessary diffcore_rename_extended() calls in subsequent
merges.)
A subsequent commit will add several testcases based on this document
meant to stress-test the implementation and also document the case with
the subtle behavioral change.

Over-the-wire protocol learns a new request type to ask for object

* ba/object-info:
object-info: support for retrieving object info
|
|
Currently, the packfile negotiation step within a Git fetch cannot be
done independent of sending the packfile, even though there is at least
one application wherein this is useful. Therefore, make it possible for
this negotiation step to be done independently. A subsequent commit will
use this for one such application - push negotiation.
This feature is for protocol v2 only. (An implementation for protocol v0
would require a separate implementation in the fetch, transport, and
transport helper code.)
In the protocol, the main hindrance towards independent negotiation is
that the server can unilaterally decide to send the packfile. This is
solved by a "wait-for-done" argument: the server will then wait for the
client to say "done". In practice, the client will never say it; instead
it will cease requests once it is satisfied.
In the client, the main change lies in the transport and transport
helper code. fetch_refs_via_pack() performs everything needed - protocol
version and capability checks, and the negotiation itself.
There are 2 code paths that do not go through fetch_refs_via_pack() that
needed to be individually excluded: the bundle transport (excluded
through requiring smart_options, which the bundle transport doesn't
support) and transport helpers that do not support takeover. If or when
we support independent negotiation for protocol v0, we will need to
modify these 2 code paths to support it. But for now, report failure if
independent negotiation is requested in these cases.

Edit and expand the sparse-index design document with the plan for
guarding index operations with ensure_full_index().
Notably, the plan has changed to not have an expand_to_path() method in
favor of checking for a sparse-directory hit inside of the
index_path_pos() API.
The changes that follow this one will incrementally add
ensure_full_index() guards to iterations over all cache entries. Some
iterations over the cache entries are not protected due to a few
categories listed in the document. Since these are not being modified,
here is a short list of the files and methods that will not receive
these guards:
Looking for non-zero stage:
* builtin/add.c:chmod_pathspec()
* builtin/merge.c:count_unmerged_entries()
* merge-ort.c:record_conflicted_index_entries()
* read-cache.c:unmerged_index()
* rerere.c:check_one_conflict(), find_conflict(), rerere_remaining()
* revision.c:prepare_show_merge()
* sequencer.c:append_conflicts_hint()
* wt-status.c:wt_status_collect_changes_initial()
Looking for submodules:
* builtin/submodule--helper.c:module_list_compute()
* submodule.c: several methods
* worktree.c:validate_no_submodules()
Part of the index API:
* name-hash.c: lazy init methods
* preload-index.c:preload_thread(), preload_index()
* read-cache.c: file format methods
Checking for correct order of cache entries:
* read-cache.c:check_ce_order()

As a prerequisite to implementing multi-pack bitmaps, motivate and
describe the format and ordering of the multi-pack reverse index.
The subsequent patch will implement reading this format, and the patch
after that will implement writing it while producing a multi-pack index.

When multiple packs in the multi-pack index contain the same object, the
MIDX machinery must make a choice about which pack it associates with
that object. Prior to this patch, the lowest-ordered[1] pack was always
selected.
Pack selection for duplicate objects is relatively unimportant today,
but it will become important for multi-pack bitmaps. This is because we
can only invoke the pack-reuse mechanism when all of the bits for reused
objects come from the reuse pack (in order to ensure that all reused
deltas can find their base objects in the same pack).
To encourage the pack selection process to prefer one pack over another
(the pack to be preferred is the one a caller would like to later use as
a reuse pack), introduce the concept of a "preferred pack". When
provided, the MIDX code will always prefer an object found in a
preferred pack over any other.
No format changes are required to store the preferred pack, since it
will be able to be inferred with a corresponding MIDX bitmap, by looking
up the pack associated with the object in the first bit position (this
ordering is described in detail in a subsequent commit).
[1]: the ordering is specified by MIDX internals; for our purposes we
can consider the "lowest ordered" pack to be "the one with the
most-recent mtime.

The index format does not currently allow for sparse directory entries.
This violates some expectations that older versions of Git or
third-party tools might not understand. We need an indicator inside the
index file to warn these tools to not interact with a sparse index
unless they are aware of sparse directory entries.
Add a new _required_ index extension, 'sdir', that indicates that the
index may contain sparse directory entries. This allows us to continue
to use the differences in index formats 2, 3, and 4 before we create a
new index version 5 in a later change.
