The "unbundle" command added in 2e0afafebd8 (Add git-bundle: move
objects and references by archive, 2007-02-22) did not show progress
output, even though the underlying API learned how to show progress in
be042aff24c (Teach progress eye-candy to fetch_refs_from_bundle(),
2011-09-18).
Now we'll show "Unbundling objects" using the new --progress-title
option to "git index-pack", to go with its existing "Receiving
objects" and "Indexing objects" (which it shows when invoked with
"--stdin", and with a pack file, respectively).
Unlike "git bundle create" we don't handle "--quiet" here, nor
"--all-progress" and "--all-progress-implied". Those are all specific
to "create" (and "verify", in the case of "--quiet").
The structure of the existing documentation is a bit unclear, e.g. the
documentation for the "--quiet" option added in
79862b6b77c (bundle-create: progress output control, 2019-11-10) only
describes how it works for "create", and not for "verify". That and
other issues in it should be fixed, but I'd like to avoid untangling
that mess right now. Let's just support the standard "--no-progress"
implicitly here, and leave cleaning up the general behavior of "git
bundle" for a later change.

Add a --progress-title option to index-pack, when data is piped into
index-pack its progress is a proxy for whatever's feeding it data.
This option will allow us to set a more relevant progress bar title in
"git bundle unbundle", and is also used in my "bundle-uri" RFC
patches[1] by a new caller in fetch-pack.c.
The code change in cmd_index_pack() won't handle
"--progress-title=xyz", only "--progress-title xyz", and the "(i+1)"
style (as opposed to "i + 1") is a bit odd.
Not using the "--long-option=value" style is inconsistent with
existing long options handled by cmd_index_pack(), but makes the code
that needs to call it better (two strvec_push(), instead of needing a
strvec_pushf()). Since the option is internal-only the inconsistency
shouldn't matter.
I'm copying the pattern to handle it as-is from the handling of the
existing "-o" option in the same function, see 9cf6d3357aa (Add
git-index-pack utility, 2005-10-12) for its addition. That's a short
option, but the code to implement the two is the same in functionality
and style. Eventually we'd like to migrate all of this this to
parse_options(), which would make these differences in behavior go
away.

The existing mechanism for scheduling background maintenance is done
through cron. On Linux systems managed by systemd, systemd provides an
alternative to schedule recurring tasks: systemd timers.
The main motivations to implement systemd timers in addition to cron
are:
* cron is optional and Linux systems running systemd might not have it
installed.
* The execution of `crontab -l` can tell us if cron is installed but not
if the daemon is actually running.
* With systemd, each service is run in its own cgroup and its logs are
tagged by the service inside journald. With cron, all scheduled tasks
are running in the cron daemon cgroup and all the logs of the
user-scheduled tasks are pretended to belong to the system cron
service.
Concretely, a user that doesn’t have access to the system logs won’t
have access to the log of their own tasks scheduled by cron whereas
they will have access to the log of their own tasks scheduled by
systemd timer.
Although `cron` attempts to send email, that email may go unseen by
the user because these days, local mailboxes are not heavily used
anymore.
In order to schedule git maintenance, we need two unit template files:
* ~/.config/systemd/user/git-maintenance@.service
to define the command to be started by systemd and
* ~/.config/systemd/user/git-maintenance@.timer
to define the schedule at which the command should be run.
Those units are templates that are parameterized by the frequency.
Based on those templates, 3 timers are started:
* git-maintenance@hourly.timer
* git-maintenance@daily.timer
* git-maintenance@weekly.timer
The command launched by those three timers are the same as with the
other scheduling methods:
/path/to/git for-each-repo --exec-path=/path/to
--config=maintenance.repo maintenance run --schedule=%i
with the full path for git to ensure that the version of git launched
for the scheduled maintenance is the same as the one used to run
`maintenance start`.
The timer unit contains `Persistent=true` so that, if the computer is
powered down when a maintenance task should run, the task will be run
when the computer is back powered on.

Depending on the system, different schedulers can be used to schedule
the hourly, daily and weekly executions of `git maintenance run`:
* `launchctl` for MacOS,
* `schtasks` for Windows and
* `crontab` for everything else.
`git maintenance run` now has an option to let the end-user explicitly
choose which scheduler he wants to use:
`--scheduler=auto|crontab|launchctl|schtasks`.
When `git maintenance start --scheduler=XXX` is run, it not only
registers `git maintenance run` tasks in the scheduler XXX, it also
removes the `git maintenance run` tasks from all the other schedulers to
ensure we cannot have two schedulers launching concurrent identical
tasks.
The default value is `auto` which chooses a suitable scheduler for the
system.
`git maintenance stop` doesn't have any `--scheduler` parameter because
this command will try to remove the `git maintenance run` tasks from all
the available schedulers.

Write multi-pack bitmaps in the format described by
Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt, inferring their presence with
the absence of '--bitmap'.
To write a multi-pack bitmap, this patch attempts to reuse as much of
the existing machinery from pack-objects as possible. Specifically, the
MIDX code prepares a packing_data struct that pretends as if a single
packfile has been generated containing all of the objects contained
within the MIDX.

Opening multiple instance of the same MIDX can lead to problems like two
separate packed_git structures which represent the same pack being added
to the repository's object store.
The above scenario can happen because prepare_midx_pack() checks if
`m->packs[pack_int_id]` is NULL in order to determine if a pack has been
opened and installed in the repository before. But a caller can
construct two copies of the same MIDX by calling get_multi_pack_index()
and load_multi_pack_index() since the former manipulates the
object store directly but the latter is a lower-level routine which
allocates a new MIDX for each call.
So if prepare_midx_pack() is called on multiple MIDXs with the same
pack_int_id, then that pack will be installed twice in the object
store's packed_git pointer.
This can lead to problems in, for e.g., the pack-bitmap code, which does
something like the following (in pack-bitmap.c:open_pack_bitmap()):
struct bitmap_index *bitmap_git = ...;
for (p = get_all_packs(r); p; p = p->next) {
if (open_pack_bitmap_1(bitmap_git, p) == 0)
ret = 0;
}
which is a problem if two copies of the same pack exist in the
packed_git list because pack-bitmap.c:open_pack_bitmap_1() contains a
conditional like the following:
if (bitmap_git->pack || bitmap_git->midx) {
/* ignore extra bitmap file; we can only handle one */
warning("ignoring extra bitmap file: %s", packfile->pack_name);
close(fd);
return -1;
}
Avoid this scenario by not letting write_midx_internal() open a MIDX
that isn't also pointed at by the object store. So long as this is the
case, other routines should prefer to open MIDXs with
get_multi_pack_index() or reprepare_packed_git() instead of creating
instances on their own. Because get_multi_pack_index() returns
`r->object_store->multi_pack_index` if it is non-NULL, we'll only have
one instance of a MIDX open at one time, avoiding these problems.
To encourage this, drop the `struct multi_pack_index *` parameter from
`write_midx_internal()`, and rely instead on the `object_dir` to find
(or initialize) the correct MIDX instance.
Likewise, replace the call to `close_midx()` with
`close_object_store()`, since we're about to replace the MIDX with a new
one and should invalidate the object store's memory of any MIDX that
might have existed beforehand.
Note that this now forbids passing object directories that don't belong
to alternate repositories over `--object-dir`, since before we would
have happily opened a MIDX in any directory, but now restrict ourselves
to only those reachable by `r->objects->multi_pack_index` (and alternate
MIDXs that we can see by walking the `next` pointer).
As far as I can tell, supporting arbitrary directories with
`--object-dir` was a historical accident, since even the documentation
says `<alt>` when referring to the value passed to this option.

The soon-to-be-implemented multi-pack bitmap treats object in the first
bit position specially by assuming that all objects in the pack it was
selected from are also represented from that pack in the MIDX. In other
words, the pack from which the first object was selected must also have
all of its other objects selected from that same pack in the MIDX in
case of any duplicates.
But this assumption relies on the fact that there is at least one object
in that pack to begin with; otherwise the object in the first bit
position isn't from a preferred pack, in which case we can no longer
assume that all objects in that pack were also selected from the same
pack.
Guard this assumption by checking the number of objects in the given
preferred pack, and failing if the given pack is empty.
To make sure we can safely perform this check, open any packs which are
contained in an existing MIDX via prepare_midx_pack(). The same is done
for new packs via the add_pack_to_midx() callback, but packs picked up
from a previous MIDX will not yet have these opened.

The word "encoding" can mean a lot of things (e.g., base64 or
quoted-printable encoding in emails, HTML entities, URL encoding, and so
on). The documentation for i18n.commitEncoding and i18n.logOutputEncoding
uses the phrase "character encoding" to make this more clear.
Let's use that phrase in other places to make it clear what kind of
encoding we are talking about. This patch covers the gui.encoding
option, as well as the --encoding option for git-log, etc (in this
latter case, I word-smithed the sentence a little at the same time).
That, coupled with the mention of iconv in the --encoding description,
should make this more clear.
The other spot I looked at is the working-tree-encoding section of
gitattributes(5). But it gives specific examples of encodings that I
think make the meaning pretty clear already.

If the user asks for a pretty-printed commit to be converted (either
explicitly with --encoding=foo, or implicitly because the commit is
non-utf8 and we want to convert it), we pass it through iconv(). If that
fails, we fall back to showing the input verbatim, but don't tell the
user that the output may be bogus.
Let's add a warning to do so, along with a mention in the documentation
for --encoding. Two things to note about the implementation:
- we could produce the warning closer to the call to iconv() in
reencode_string_len(), which would let us relay the value of errno.
But this is not actually very helpful. reencode_string_len() does
not know we are operating on a commit, and indeed does not know that
the caller won't produce an error of its own. And the errno values
from iconv() are seldom helpful (iconv_open() only ever produces
EINVAL; perhaps EILSEQ from iconv() might be illuminating, but it
can also return EINVAL for incomplete sequences).
- if the reason for the failure is that the output charset is not
supported, then the user will see this warning for every commit we
try to display. That might be ugly and overwhelming, but on the
other hand it is making it clear that every one of them has not been
converted (and the likely outcome anyway is to re-try the command
with a supported output encoding).

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.

Earlier "git log -m" was changed to always produce patch output,
which would break existing scripts, which has been reverted.
* jn/log-m-does-not-imply-p:
Revert 'diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"'
|

This reverts commit f5bfcc823ba242a46e20fb6f71c9fbf7ebb222fe, which
made "git log -m" imply "--patch" by default. The logic was that
"-m", which makes diff generation for merges perform a diff against
each parent, has no use unless I am viewing the diff, so we could save
the user some typing by turning on display of the resulting diff
automatically. That wasn't expected to adversely affect scripts
because scripts would either be using a command like "git diff-tree"
that already emits diffs by default or would be combining -m with a
diff generation option such as --name-status. By saving typing for
interactive use without adversely affecting scripts in the wild, it
would be a pure improvement.
The problem is that although diff generation options are only relevant
for the displayed diff, a script author can imagine them affecting
path limiting. For example, I might run
git log -w --format=%H -- README
hoping to list commits that edited README, excluding whitespace-only
changes. In fact, a whitespace-only change is not TREESAME so the use
of -w here has no effect (since we don't apply these diff generation
flags to the diff_options struct rev_info::pruning used for this
purpose), but the documentation suggests that it should work
Suppose you specified foo as the <paths>. We shall call
commits that modify foo !TREESAME, and the rest TREESAME. (In
a diff filtered for foo, they look different and equal,
respectively.)
and a script author who has not tested whitespace-only changes
wouldn't notice.
Similarly, a script author could include
git log -m --first-parent --format=%H -- README
to filter the first-parent history for commits that modified README.
The -m is a no-op but it reflects the script author's intent. For
example, until 1e20a407fe2 (stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git
log", 2021-05-21), "git stash list" did this.
As a result, we can't safely change "-m" to imply "-p" without fear of
breaking such scripts. Restore the previous behavior.
Noticed because Rust's src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py made use of this
same construct: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87513. That
script has been updated to omit the unnecessary "-m" option, but we
can expect other scripts in the wild to have similar expectations.

In order to compute whether objects reachable from a set of tips are all
connected, we do a revision walk with these tips as positive references
and `--not --all`. `--not --all` will cause the revision walk to load
all preexisting references as uninteresting, which can be very expensive
in repositories with many references.
Benchmarking the git-rev-list(1) command highlights that by far the most
expensive single phase is initial sorting of the input revisions: after
all references have been loaded, we first sort commits by author date.
In a real-world repository with about 2.2 million references, it makes
up about 40% of the total runtime of git-rev-list(1).
Ultimately, the connectivity check shouldn't really bother about the
order of input revisions at all. We only care whether we can actually
walk all objects until we hit the cut-off point. So sorting the input is
a complete waste of time.
Introduce a new "--unsorted-input" flag to git-rev-list(1) which will
cause it to not sort the commits and adjust the connectivity check to
always pass the flag. This results in the following speedups, executed
in a clone of gitlab-org/gitlab [1]:
Benchmark #1: git rev-list --objects --quiet --not --all --not $(cat newrev)
Time (mean ± σ): 7.639 s ± 0.065 s [User: 7.304 s, System: 0.335 s]
Range (min … max): 7.543 s … 7.742 s 10 runs
Benchmark #2: git rev-list --unsorted-input --objects --quiet --not --all --not $newrev
Time (mean ± σ): 4.995 s ± 0.044 s [User: 4.657 s, System: 0.337 s]
Range (min … max): 4.909 s … 5.048 s 10 runs
Summary
'git rev-list --unsorted-input --objects --quiet --not --all --not $(cat newrev)' ran
1.53 ± 0.02 times faster than 'git rev-list --objects --quiet --not --all --not $newrev'

Make it clear that `ort` is the default merge strategy now rather than
`recursive`, including moving `ort` to the front of the list of merge
strategies.

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).
