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()".

git branch only allows deleting branches that point to valid commits.
Skip that check if --force is given, as the caller is indicating with
it that they know what they are doing and accept the consequences.
This allows deleting dangling branches, which previously had to be
reset to a valid start-point using --force first.

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).

'git column's '--nl' option can be used to specify a "string to be
printed at the end of each line" (quoting the man page), but this
option and its mandatory argument has been parsed as OPT_INTEGER since
the introduction of the command in 7e29b8254f (Add column layout
skeleton and git-column, 2012-04-21). Consequently, any non-number
argument is rejected by parse-options, and any number other than 0
leads to segfault:
$ printf "%s\n" one two |git column --mode=plain --nl=foo
error: option `nl' expects a numerical value
$ printf "%s\n" one two |git column --mode=plain --nl=42
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ printf "%s\n" one two |git column --mode=plain --nl=0

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'

Commit 58634dbff8 ("rebase: Allow merge strategies to be used when
rebasing", 2006-06-21) added the --merge option to git-rebase so that
renames could be detected (at least when using the `recursive` merge
backend). However, git-am -3 gained that same ability in commit
579c9bb198 ("Use merge-recursive in git-am -3.", 2006-12-28). As such,
the comment about being able to detect renames is not particularly
noteworthy. Remove it.

We already have diff-algorithm that explains why there are special diff
algorithms, so we do not need to re-explain patience. patience exists
as its own toplevel option for historical reasons, but there's no reason
to give it special preference or document it again and suggest it's more
important than other diff algorithms, so just refer to it as a
deprecated shorthand for `diff-algorithm=patience`.

Stating that the recursive strategy "currently cannot make use of
detected copies" implies that this is a technical shortcoming of the
current algorithm. I disagree with that. I don't see how copies could
possibly be used in a sane fashion in a merge algorithm -- would we
propagate changes in one file on one side of history to each copy of
that file when merging? That makes no sense to me. I cannot think of
anything else that would make sense either. Change the wording to
simply state that we ignore any copies.

It is probably helpful to cover the default merge strategy first, so
move the text for the resolve strategy to later in the document.
Further, the wording for "resolve" claimed that it was "considered
generally safe and fast", which might imply in some readers minds that
the same is not true of other strategies. Rather than adding this text
to all the strategies, just remove it from this one.

A few places in the documentation referred to the "`recursive` strategy"
using the phrase "`git merge-recursive`", suggesting that it was forking
subprocesses to call a toplevel builtin. Perhaps that was relevant to
when rebase was a shell script, but it seems like a rather indirect way
to refer to the `recursive` strategy. Simplify the references.

When --rebase-merges was first introduced, it only worked with the
`recursive` strategy. Some time later, it gained support for merges
using the `octopus` strategy. The limitation of only supporting these
two strategies was documented in 25cff9f109 ("rebase -i --rebase-merges:
add a section to the man page", 2018-04-25) and lifted in e145d99347
("rebase -r: support merge strategies other than `recursive`",
2019-07-31). However, when the limitation was lifted, the documentation
was not updated. Update it now.
