When fetching packfiles, we write a bunch of lockfiles for the packfiles
we're writing into the repository. In order to not leave behind any
cruft in case we exit or receive a signal, we register both an exit
handler as well as signal handlers for common signals like SIGINT. These
handlers will then unlink the locks and free the data structure tracking
them. We have observed a deadlock in this logic though:

The process was killed with a signal, which caused the signal handler to
kick in and try free the data structures after we have unlinked the
locks. It then deadlocks while calling free(3P).
The root cause of this is that it is not allowed to call certain
functions in async-signal handlers, as specified by signal-safety(7).
Next to most I/O functions, this list of disallowed functions also
includes memory-handling functions like malloc(3P) and free(3P) because
they may not be reentrant. As a result, if we execute such functions in
the signal handler, then they may operate on inconistent state and fail
in unexpected ways.
Fix this bug by not calling non-async-signal-safe functions when running
in the signal handler. We're about to re-raise the signal anyway and
will thus exit, so it's not much of a problem to keep the string list of
lockfiles untouched. Note that it's fine though to call unlink(2), so
we'll still clean up the lockfiles correctly.

Many git commands that deal with working tree files try to remove a

has the directory to another branch that does not would attempt

In commit bee8691f19 ("stash: restore untracked files AFTER restoring
tracked files", 2021-09-10), we correctly identified that we should
restore changes to tracked files before attempting to restore untracked
files, and accordingly moved the code for restoring untracked files a
few lines down in do_apply_stash(). Unfortunately, the intervening
lines had some early return statements meaning that we suddenly stopped
restoring untracked files in some cases.
Even before the previous commit, there was another possible issue with
the current code -- a post-stash-apply 'git status' that was intended
to be run after restoring the stash was skipped when we hit a conflict
(or other error condition), which seems slightly inconsistent.
Fix both issues by saving the return status, and letting other
functionality run before returning.

When in cone mode sparse-checkout, it is unclear how 'git
sparse-checkout add <dir1> ...' should behave if the existing
sparse-checkout file does not match the cone mode patterns. Change the
behavior to fail with an error message about the existing patterns.
Also, all cone mode patterns start with a '/' character, so add that
restriction. This is necessary for our example test 'cone mode: warn on
bad pattern', but also requires modifying the example sparse-checkout
file we use to test the warnings related to recognizing cone mode
patterns.
This error checking would cause a failure further down the test script
because of a test that adds non-cone mode patterns without cleaning them
up. Perform that cleanup as part of the test now.

Add a test to t1091-sparse-checkout-builtin.sh that would result in an
infinite loop and out-of-memory error before this change. The issue
relies on having non-cone-mode patterns while trying to modify the
patterns in cone-mode.
The fix is simple, allowing us to break from the loop when the input
path does not contain a slash, as the "dir" pattern we added does not.
This is only a fix to the critical out-of-memory error. A better
response to such a strange state will follow in a later change.

Move the handling of the "verbose" flag entirely out of
"refs/files-backend.c" and into "builtin/reflog.c". This allows the
backend to stop knowing about the EXPIRE_REFLOGS_VERBOSE flag.
The expire_reflog_ent() function shouldn't need to deal with the
implementation detail of whether or not we're emitting verbose output,
by doing this the --verbose output becomes backend-agnostic, so
reftable will get the same output.
I think the output is rather bad currently, and should e.g. be
implemented with some better future mode of progress.[ch], but that's
a topic for another improvement.

In the initial implementation of "git reflog" in 4264dc15e19 (git
reflog expire, 2006-12-19) we had this
lookup_commit_reference_gently().
I don't think we've ever found tags that we need to recursively
dereference in reflogs, so this should at least be changed to a
"lookup commit" as I'm doing here, although I can't think of a way
where it mattered in practice.
I also think we'd probably like to just die here if we have a NULL
object, but as this code needs to handle potentially broken
repositories let's just show an "error" but continue, the non-quiet
lookup_commit() will do for us. None of our tests cover the case where
"commit" is NULL after this lookup.

Now we won't assume that "x != UE_ALWAYS" means "(x == UE_HEAD || x ||

bugs here if that were to change, now the compiler will notice and

As with the preceding change for "reflog delete", change the "cb_data"
we pass to callbacks to be &cb.cmd itself, instead of passing &cb and
having the callback lookup cb->cmd.
This makes it clear that the "cb" itself is the same memzero'd
structure on each iteration of the for-loops that use &cb, except for
the "cmd" member.
The "struct expire_reflog_policy_cb" we pass to reflog_expire() will
have the members that aren't "cmd" modified by the callbacks, but
before we invoke them everything except "cmd" is zero'd out.
This included the "tip_commit", "mark_list" and "tips". It might have
looked as though we were re-using those between iterations, but the
first thing we did in reflog_expiry_prepare() was to either NULL them,
or clobber them with another value.

Existing callers to 'git ls-files' are expecting file names, not
directories. It is best to expand a sparse index to show all of the
contained files in this case.
However, expert users may want to inspect the contents of the index
itself including which directories are sparse. Add a --sparse option to
allow users to request this information.
During testing, I noticed that options such as --modified did not affect
the output when the files in question were outside the sparse-checkout
definition. Tests are added to document this preexisting behavior and
how it remains unchanged with the sparse index and the --sparse option.

The 'git fetch' and 'git pull' commands parse the index in order to
determine if submodules exist. Without command_requires_full_index=0,
this will expand a sparse index, causing slow performance even when
there is no new data to fetch.
The .gitmodules file will never be inside a sparse directory entry, and
even if it was, the index_name_pos() method would expand the sparse
index if needed as we search for the path by name. These commands do not
iterate over the index, which is the typical thing we are careful about
when integrating with the sparse index.

The revision traversal machinery typically processes and returns all
children before any parent. fast-export needs to operate in the
reverse fashion, handling parents before any of their children in
order to build up the history starting from the root commit(s). This
would be a clear case where we could just use the revision traversal
machinery's "reverse" option to achieve this desired affect.
However, this wasn't what the code did. It added its own array for
queuing. The obvious hand-rolled solution would be to just push all
the commits into the array and then traverse afterwards, but it didn't
quite do that either. It instead attempted to process anything it
could as soon as it could, and once it could, check whether it could
process anything that had been queued. As far as I can tell, this was
an effort to save a little memory in the case of multiple root commits
since it could process some commits before queueing all of them. This
involved some helper functions named has_unshown_parent() and
handle_tail(). For typical invocations of fast-export, this
alternative essentially amounted to a hand-rolled method of reversing
the commits -- it was a bunch of work to duplicate the revision
traversal machinery's "reverse" option.
This hand-rolled reversing mechanism is actually somewhat difficult to
reason about. It takes some time to figure out how it ensures in
normal cases that it will actually process all traversed commits
(rather than just dropping some and not printing anything for them).
And it turns out there are some cases where the code does drop commits
without handling them, and not even printing an error or warning for
the user. Due to the has_unshown_parent() checks, some commits could
be left in the array at the end of the "while...get_revision()" loop
which would be unprocessed. This could be triggered for example with
git fast-export main -- --first-parent
or non-sensical traversal rules such as
git fast-export main -- --grep=Merge --invert-grep
While most traversals that don't include all parents should likely
trigger errors in fast-export (or at least require being used in
combination with --reference-excluded-parents), the --first-parent
traversal is at least reasonable and it'd be nice if it didn't just drop
commits. It'd also be nice for future readers of the code to have a
simpler "reverse traversal" mechanism. Use the "reverse" option of the
revision traversal machinery to achieve both.
Even for the non-sensical traversal flags like the --grep one above,
this would be an improvement. For example, in that case, the code
previously would have silently truncated history to only those commits
that do not have an ancestor containing "Merge" in their commit message.
After this code change, that case would include all commits without
"Merge" in their commit message -- but any commit that previously had a
"Merge"-mentioning parent would lose that parent
(likely resulting in many new root commits). While the new behavior is
still odd, it is at least understandable given that
--reference-excluded-parents is not the default.

tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is
currently not a method to automatically do so.
Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the
"--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the
tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch
point, if set.
For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run
`git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature"
will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far
ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin.
This is particularly useful when creating branches across many
submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with
a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to
manually set tracking info for each submodule.
Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as
another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track"
without an argument still works as well).
Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this
is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

When a series of patches for a topic-B depends on having topic-A,
the workflow to prepare the topic-B branch would look like this:
$ git checkout -b topic-B main
$ git merge --no-ff --no-edit topic-A
$ git am <mbox-for-topic-B
When topic-A gets updated, recreating the first merge and rebasing
the rest of the topic-B, all on detached HEAD, is a useful
technique. After updating topic-A with its new round of patches:
$ git checkout topic-B
$ prev=$(git rev-parse 'HEAD^{/^Merge branch .topic-A. into}')
$ git checkout --detach $prev^1
$ git merge --no-ff --no-edit topic-A
$ git rebase --onto HEAD $prev @{-1}^0
$ git checkout -B @{-1}
This will
(0) check out the current topic-B.
(1) find the previous merge of topic-A into topic-B.
(2) detach the HEAD to the parent of the previous merge.
(3) merge the updated topic-A to it.
(4) reapply the patches to rebuild the rest of topic-B.
(5) update topic-B with the result.
without contaminating the reflog of topic-B too much. topic-B@{1}
is the "logically previous" state before topic-A got updated, for
example. At (4), comparison (e.g. range-diff) between HEAD and
@{-1} is a meaningful way to sanity check the result, and the same
can be done at (5) by comparing topic-B and topic-B@{1}.
But there is one glitch. The merge into the detached HEAD done in
the step (3) above gives us "Merge branch 'topic-A' into HEAD", and
does not say "into topic-B".
Teach the "--into-name=<branch>" option to "git merge" and its
underlying "git fmt-merge-message", to pretend as if we were merging
into <branch>, no matter what branch we are actually merging into,
when they prepare the merge message. The pretend name honors the
usual "into <target>" suppression mechanism, which can be seen in
the tests added here.

While testing some ideas in 'git repack', I ran it with '--quiet' and
discovered that some progress output was still shown. Specifically, the
output for writing the multi-pack-index showed the progress.
The 'show_progress' variable in cmd_repack() is initialized with
isatty(2) and is not modified at all by the '--quiet' flag. The
'--quiet' flag modifies the po_args.quiet option which is translated
into a '--quiet' flag for the 'git pack-objects' child process. However,
'show_progress' is used to directly send progress information to the
multi-pack-index writing logic which does not use a child process.
The fix here is to modify 'show_progress' to be false if po_opts.quiet
is true, and isatty(2) otherwise. This new expectation simplifies a
later condition that checks both.
Update the documentation to make it clear that '-q' will disable all
progress in addition to ensuring the 'git pack-objects' child process
will receive the flag.
Use 'test_terminal' to check that this works to get around the isatty(2)
check.

Historically, we needed a single packfile in order to have reachability
bitmaps. This introduced logic that when 'git repack' had a '-b' option
that we should stop sending the '--honor-pack-keep' option to the 'git
pack-objects' child process, ensuring that we create a packfile
containing all reachable objects.
In the world of multi-pack-index bitmaps, we no longer need to repack
all objects into a single pack to have valid bitmaps. Thus, we should
continue sending the '--honor-pack-keep' flag to 'git pack-objects'.
The fix is very simple: only disable the flag when writing bitmaps but
also _not_ writing the multi-pack-index.
This opens the door to new repacking strategies that might want to keep
some historical set of objects in a stable pack-file while only
repacking more recent objects.
To test, create a new 'test_subcommand_inexact' helper that is more
flexible than 'test_subcommand'. This allows us to look for the
--honor-pack-keep flag without over-indexing on the exact set of
arguments.
