Historically, Git has supported the 'Signed-off-by' commit trailer
using the '--signoff' and the '-s' option from the command line.
But users may need to provide other trailer information from the
command line such as "Helped-by", "Reported-by", "Mentored-by",
Now implement a new `--trailer <token>[(=|:)<value>]` option to pass
other trailers to `interpret-trailers` and insert them into commit
messages.

Disable the recent mergetool's hideresolved feature by default for
backward compatibility and safety.
* jn/mergetool-hideresolved-is-optional:
doc: describe mergetool configuration in git-mergetool(1)
mergetool: do not enable hideResolved by default
|

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'.

Every %(describe) placeholder in $Format:...$ strings in files with the
attribute export-subst is expanded by calling git describe. This can
potentially result in a lot of such calls per archive. That's OK for
local repositories under control of the user of git archive, but could
be a problem for hosted repositories.
Expand only a single %(describe) placeholder per archive for now to
avoid denial-of-service attacks. We can make this limit configurable
later if needed, but let's start out simple.

The previous commit teaches `git stash show --include-untracked`. It
may be desirable for a user to be able to always enable the
--include-untracked behavior. Teach the stash.showIncludeUntracked
config option which allows users to do this in a similar manner to
stash.showPatch.

Stash entries can be made with untracked files via
`git stash push --include-untracked`. However, because the untracked
files are stored in the third parent of the stash entry and not the
stash entry itself, running `git stash show` does not include the
untracked files as part of the diff.
With --include-untracked, untracked paths, which are recorded in the
third-parent if it exists, are shown in addition to the paths that have
modifications between the stash base and the working tree in the stash.
It is possible to manually craft a malformed stash entry where duplicate
untracked files in the stash entry will mask tracked files. We detect
and error out in that case via a custom unpack_trees() callback:
stash_worktree_untracked_merge().
Also, teach stash the --only-untracked option which only shows the
untracked files of a stash entry. This is similar to `git show stash^3`
but it is nice to provide a convenient abstraction for it so that users
do not have to think about the underlying implementation.

There were some early changes in the 2.31 cycle to optimize some setup
in diffcore-rename.c[1], some later changes to measure performance[2],
and finally some significant changes to improve rename detection
performance. The final one was merged with the note
Performance optimization work on the rename detection continues.
That works for the commit log, but feels misleading as a release note
since all the changes were within one cycle. Simplify this to just
Performance improvements for rename detection.
The former wording could be seen as hinting that more performance
improvements will come in 2.32, which is true, but we can just cover
those in the 2.32 release notes when the time comes.

The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is
attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core,
inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be
applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree
object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as
".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as
".gitmodules" file, for example. Teach "index-pack" to emit
objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling
"fetch-pack" process.

Each %(describe) placeholder is expanded using a separate git describe

The githooks(5) documentation states in several places that the hook
will receive a SHA-1 or hashes of 40 characters length. Given that we're
transitioning to a world where both SHA-1 and SHA-256 are supported,
this is inaccurate.
Fix the issue by replacing mentions of SHA-1 with "object name" and not
explicitly mentioning the hash size.

A previous commit noted that it is very common for people to move files
across directories while keeping their filename the same. The last few
commits took advantage of this and showed that we can accelerate rename
detection significantly using basenames; since files with the same
basename serve as likely rename candidates, we can check those first and
remove them from the rename candidate pool if they are sufficiently
similar.
Unfortunately, the previous optimization was limited by the fact that
the remaining basenames after exact rename detection are not always
unique. Many repositories have hundreds of build files with the same
name (e.g. Makefile, .gitignore, build.gradle, etc.), and may even have
hundreds of source files with the same name. (For example, the linux
kernel has 100 setup.c, 87 irq.c, and 112 core.c files. A repository at
$DAYJOB has a lot of ObjectFactory.java and Plugin.java files).
For these files with non-unique basenames, we are faced with the task of
attempting to determine or guess which directory they may have been
relocated to. Such a task is precisely the job of directory rename
detection. However, there are two catches: (1) the directory rename
detection code has traditionally been part of the merge machinery rather
than diffcore-rename.c, and (2) directory rename detection currently
runs after regular rename detection is complete. The 1st catch is just
an implementation issue that can be overcome by some code shuffling.
The 2nd requires us to add a further approximation: we only have access
to exact renames at this point, so we need to do directory rename
detection based on just exact renames. In some cases we won't have
exact renames, in which case this extra optimization won't apply. We
also choose to not apply the optimization unless we know that the
underlying directory was removed, which will require extra data to be
passed in to diffcore_rename_extended(). Also, even if we get a
prediction about which directory a file may have relocated to, we will
still need to check to see if there is a file in the predicted
directory, and then compare the two files to see if they meet the higher
min_basename_score threshold required for marking the two files as
renames.
This commit introduces an idx_possible_rename() function which will
do this directory rename detection for us and give us the index within
rename_dst of the resulting filename. For now, this function is
hardcoded to return -1 (not found) and just hooks up how its results
would be used once we have a more complete implementation in place.

We have two established generation number versions:
1: topological levels
2: corrected commit dates
The corrected commit dates are enabled by default, but they also write
extra data in the GDAT and GDOV chunks. Services that host Git data
might want to have more control over when this feature rolls out than
just updating the Git binaries.
Add a new "commitGraph.generationVersion" config option that specifies
the intended generation number version. If this value is less than 2,
then the GDAT chunk is never written _or read_ from an existing file.
This can replace our use of the GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH_NO_GDAT
environment variable in the test suite. Remove it.
