Change a pattern of hardcoding an "argv" array size, populating it and
assigning to the "argv" member of "struct child_process" to instead
use "strvec_pushl()" to add data to the "args" member.
This implements the same behavior as before in fewer lines of code,
and moves us further towards being able to remove the "argv" member in
a subsequent commit.
Since we've entirely removed the "argv" variable(s) we can be sure
that no potential logic errors of the type discussed in a preceding
commit are being introduced here, i.e. ones where the local "argv" was
being modified after the assignment to "struct child_process"'s
"argv".

We strbuf_reset() this "struct strbuf" in a loop earlier, but never
freed it. Plugs a memory leak that's been here ever since this code
got introduced in 1c7b76be7d6 (Build in merge, 2008-07-07).
This takes us from 68 failed tests in "t7600-merge.sh" to 59 under
SANITIZE=leak, and makes "t7604-merge-custom-message.sh" pass!

Change several commands to remove ignored files by default when they are
in the way. Since some commands (checkout, merge) take a
--no-overwrite-ignore option to allow the user to configure this, and it
may make sense to add that option to more commands (and in the case of
merge, actually plumb that configuration option through to more of the
backends than just the fast-forwarding special case), add little
comments about where such flags would be used.
Incidentally, this fixes a test failure in t7112.

Currently, every caller of unpack_trees() that wants to ensure ignored
files are overwritten by default needs to:
* allocate unpack_trees_options.dir
* flip the DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag in unpack_trees_options.dir->flags
* call setup_standard_excludes
AND then after the call to unpack_trees() needs to
* call dir_clear()
* deallocate unpack_trees_options.dir
That's a fair amount of boilerplate, and every caller uses identical
code. Make this easier by instead introducing a new boolean value where
the default value (0) does what we want so that new callers of
unpack_trees() automatically get the appropriate behavior. And move all
the handling of unpack_trees_options.dir into unpack_trees() itself.
While preserve_ignored = 0 is the behavior we feel is the appropriate
default, we defer fixing commands to use the appropriate default until a
later commit. So, this commit introduces several locations where we
manually set preserve_ignored=1. This makes it clear where code paths
were previously preserving ignored files when they should not have been;
a future commit will flip these to instead use a value of 0 to get the
behavior we want.

Use the new hook_exists() function instead of find_hook() where the

Move the find_hook() function from run-command.c to a new hook.c
library. This change establishes a stub library that's pretty
pointless right now, but will see much wider use with Emily Shaffer's
upcoming "configuration-based hooks" series.
Eventually all the hook related code will live in hook.[ch]. Let's
start that process by moving the simple find_hook() function over

Allow 'git merge' to operate without expanding a sparse index, at least
not immediately. The index still will be expanded in a few cases:
1. If the merge strategy is 'recursive', then we enable
command_requires_full_index at the start of the merge_recursive()
method. We expect sparse-index users to also have the 'ort' strategy
enabled.
2. With the 'ort' strategy, if the merge results in a conflicted file,
then we expand the index before updating the working tree. The loop
that iterates over the worktree replaces index entries and tracks
'origintal_cache_nr' which can become completely wrong if the index
expands in the middle of the operation. This safety valve is
important before that loop starts. A later change will focus this
to only expand if we indeed have a conflict outside of the
sparse-checkout cone.
3. Other merge strategies are executed as a 'git merge-X' subcommand,
and those strategies are currently protected with the
'command_requires_full_index' guard.
Some test updates are required, including a mistaken 'git checkout -b'
that did not specify the base branch, causing merges to be fast-forward
merges.

Before spawning the auto maintenance, we need to make sure that we
release all open file handles to all the `.pack` files (and MIDX files
and commit-graph files and...) so that the maintenance process has the
freedom to delete those files.
So far, we did this manually every time before calling
`run_auto_maintenance()`. With the new `close_object_store` flag, we can
do that implicitly in that function, which is more robust because future
callers won't be able to forget to close the object store.
Note: this changes behavior slightly, as we previously _always_ closed
the object store, but now we only close the object store when actually
running the auto maintenance. In practice, this should not matter (if
anything, it might speed up operations where auto maintenance is
disabled).

There are a few reasons to switch the default:
* Correctness
* Extensibility
* Performance
I'll provide some summaries about each.
=== Correctness ===
The original impetus for a new merge backend was to fix issues that were
difficult to fix within recursive's design. The success with this goal
is perhaps most easily demonstrated by running the following:
$ git grep -2 KNOWN_FAILURE t/ | grep -A 4 GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM
$ git grep test_expect_merge_algorithm.failure.success t/
$ git grep test_expect_merge_algorithm.success.failure t/
In order, these greps show:
* Seven sets of submodule tests (10 total tests) that fail with
recursive but succeed with ort
* 22 other tests that fail with recursive, but succeed with ort
* 0 tests that pass with recursive, but fail with ort
=== Extensibility ===
Being able to perform merges without touching the working tree or index
makes it possible to create new features that were difficult with the
old backend:
* Merging, cherry-picking, rebasing, reverting in bare repositories...
or just on branches that aren't checked out.
* `git diff AUTO_MERGE` -- ability to see what changes the user has
made to resolve conflicts so far (see commit 5291828df8 ("merge-ort:
write $GIT_DIR/AUTO_MERGE whenever we hit a conflict", 2021-03-20)
* A --remerge-diff option for log/show, used to show diffs for merges
that display the difference between what an automatic merge would
have created and what was recorded in the merge. (This option will
often result in an empty diff because many merges are clean, but for
the non-clean ones it will show how conflicts were fixed including
the removal of conflict markers, and also show additional changes
made outside of conflict regions to e.g. fix semantic conflicts.)
* A --remerge-diff-only option for log/show, similar to --remerge-diff
but also showing how cherry-picks or reverts differed from what an
automatic cherry-pick or revert would provide.
The last three have been implemented already (though only one has been
submitted upstream so far; the others were waiting for performance work
to complete), and I still plan to implement the first one.
=== Performance ===
I'll quote from the summary of my final optimization for merge-ort
(while fixing the testcase name from 'no-renames' to 'few-renames'):

Since 'git merge' learned '--autostash' in a03b55530a (merge: teach
--autostash option, 2020-04-07), 'cmd_merge', once it is determined that
we have to create a merge commit, calls 'create_autostash' if
'--autostash' is given.
As explained in a03b55530a, and made more abvious by the tests added in
that commit, the autostash is then applied if the merge succeeds, either
directly or by committing (after conflict resolution or if '--no-commit'
was given), or if the merge is aborted with 'git merge --abort'. In some
other cases, like the user calling 'git reset --merge' or 'git merge
--quit', the autostash is not applied, but saved in the stash list.
However, there exists a scenario that creates an autostash but does not
apply nor save it to the stash list: if the chosen merge strategy
completely fails to handle the merge, i.e. 'try_merge_strategy' returns
2.
Apply the autostash in that case also. An easy way to test that is to
try to merge more than two commits but explicitely ask for the 'recursive'
merge strategy.

Since 'git merge' learned '--autostash' in a03b55530a (merge: teach
--autostash option, 2020-04-07), 'cmd_merge', in the fast-forward case,
calls 'create_autostash' before calling 'checkout_fast_forward' if
'--autostash' is given.
However, if 'checkout_fast_forward' fails, the autostash is not applied
to the working tree, nor saved in the stash list, since the code simply
calls 'goto done'.
Be more helpful to the user by applying the autostash in that case.
An easy way to test a failing fast-forward is when we are merging a
branch that has a tracked file that conflicts with an untracked file in
the working tree.

The variable 'best_strategy' holds the name of the merge strategy that
resulted in fewer conflicts, if several strategies were tried. When
that's the case but the best strategy was not the first one tried, we
inform the user which strategy was the "best" one before recreating the
merge and leaving the conflicted files in the tree.
This informational message is missing the word "strategy", so it shows

Although the various "Already up to date" messages resulting from merge
attempts share identical phrasing, they use a mix of punctuation ranging
from "." to "!" and even "Yeeah!", which leads to extra work for
translators. Ease the job of translators by settling upon "." as
punctuation for all such messages.
While at it, take advantage of printf_ln() to further ease the

and fix a case of missing line termination in the (unused)

Allow the testsuite to run where it treats requests for "recursive" or
the default merge algorithm via consulting the environment variable
GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM which is expected to either be "recursive" (the
old traditional algorithm) or "ort" (the new algorithm).
Also, allow folks to pick the new algorithm via config setting. It
turns out builtin/merge.c already had a way to allow users to specify a
different default merge algorithm: pull.twohead. Rather odd
configuration name (especially to be in the 'pull' namespace rather than
'merge') but it's there. Add that same configuration to rebase,
cherry-pick, and revert.
This required updating the various callsites that called merge_trees()
or merge_recursive() to conditionally call the new API, so this serves
as another demonstration of what the new API looks and feels like.
There are almost certainly some callsites that have not yet been
modified to work with the new merge algorithm, but this represents the
ones that I have been testing with thus far.

Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.
Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.
First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation. So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.
The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425b (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line". Commit 6f855371a53 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match. Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.
Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon. Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.
Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message". As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.
However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.

A "git gc"'s big brother has been introduced to take care of more
repository maintenance tasks, not limited to the object database
cleaning.
* ds/maintenance-part-1:
maintenance: add trace2 regions for task execution
maintenance: add auto condition for commit-graph task
maintenance: use pointers to check --auto
maintenance: create maintenance.<task>.enabled config
maintenance: take a lock on the objects directory
maintenance: add --task option
maintenance: add commit-graph task
maintenance: initialize task array
maintenance: replace run_auto_gc()
maintenance: add --quiet option
maintenance: create basic maintenance runner
|
|
The run_auto_gc() method is used in several places to trigger a check
for repo maintenance after some Git commands, such as 'git commit' or
'git fetch'.
To allow for extra customization of this maintenance activity, replace
the 'git gc --auto [--quiet]' call with one to 'git maintenance run
--auto [--quiet]'. As we extend the maintenance builtin with other
steps, users will be able to select different maintenance activities.
Rename run_auto_gc() to run_auto_maintenance() to be clearer what is
happening on this call, and to expose all callers in the current diff.
Rewrite the method to use a struct child_process to simplify the calls
slightly.
Since 'git fetch' already allows disabling the 'git gc --auto'
subprocess, add an equivalent option with a different name to be more
descriptive of the new behavior: '--[no-]maintenance'. Update the
documentation to include these options at the same time.

"git status" has trouble showing where it came from by interpreting
reflog entries that recordcertain events, e.g. "checkout @{u}", and
gives a hard/fatal error. Even though it inherently is impossible
to give a correct answer because the reflog entries lose some
information (e.g. "@{u}" does not record what branch the user was
on hence which branch 'the upstream' needs to be computed, and even
if the record were available, the relationship between branches may
have changed), at least hide the error to allow "status" show its
output.
* jt/interpret-branch-name-fallback:
wt-status: tolerate dangling marks
refs: move dwim_ref() to header file
sha1-name: replace unsigned int with option struct
|
|
When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch
not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this:
git clone $URL client
cd client
git checkout @{u}
git status
no status is printed, but instead an error message:
fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch
(This error message when running "git branch" persists even after
checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.)
This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD
detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't
work because HEAD no longer points to a branch.
Therefore, when calculating the status of a worktree, tolerate dangling
marks. This is done by adding an additional parameter to
dwim_ref() and repo_dwim_ref().

The 'merge' command is not the only one that does merges; other commands
like checkout -m or rebase do as well. Unfortunately, the only area of
the code that checked for the "merge.renormalize" config setting was in
builtin/merge.c, meaning it could only affect merges performed by the
"merge" command. Move the handling of this config setting to
merge_recursive_config() so that other commands can benefit from it as
well. Fixes a few tests in t6038.

Code optimization for a common case.
* an/merge-single-strategy-optim:
merge: optimization to skip evaluate_result for single strategy
|
|
For a merge with a single strategy, the result of evaluate_result() is
effectively not used and therefore is not needed, so avoid altogether.
On Windows, this optimization can halve the time required to perform a
recursive merge of a single commit with the LLVM repo.

Teach "am", "commit", "merge" and "rebase", when they are run with
the "--quiet" option, to pass "--quiet" down to "gc --auto".
* jc/auto-gc-quiet:
auto-gc: pass --quiet down from am, commit, merge and rebase
auto-gc: extract a reusable helper from "git fetch"
|
|
These commands take the --quiet option for their own operation, but
they forget to pass the option down when they invoke "git gc --auto"
internally.
Teach them to do so using the run_auto_gc() helper we added in the
previous step.
