"git repack" so far has been only capable of repacking everything
under the sun into a single pack (or split by size). A cleverer

When 'git pack-objects --stdin-packs' encounters a commit in a pack, it
marks it as a starting point of a best-effort reachability traversal
that is used to populate the name-hash of the objects listed in the
given packs.
The traversal expects that it should be able to walk the ancestors of
all commits in a pack without issue. Ordinarily this is the case, but it
is possible to having missing parents from an unreachable part of the
repository. In that case, we'd consider any missing objects in the
unreachable portion of the graph to be junk.
This should be handled gracefully: since the traversal is best-effort
(i.e., we don't strictly need to fill in all of the name-hash fields),
we should simply ignore any missing links.
This patch does that (by setting the 'ignore_missing_links' bit on the
rev_info struct), and ensures we don't regress in the future by adding a
test which demonstrates this case.
It is a little over-eager, since it will also ignore missing links in
reachable parts of the packs (which would indicate a corrupted
repository), but '--stdin-packs' is explicitly *not* about reachability.
So this step isn't making anything worse for a repository which contains
packs missing reachable objects (since we never drop objects with
'--stdin-packs').

This patch fixes a bug where git-bisect doesn't handle receiving
annotated tags as "git bisect good <tag>", etc. It's a regression in
27257bc466 (bisect--helper: reimplement `bisect_state` & `bisect_head`
shell functions in C, 2020-10-15).
The original shell code called:
sha=$(git rev-parse --verify "$rev^{commit}") ||
die "$(eval_gettext "Bad rev input: \$rev")"
which will peel the input to a commit (or complain if that's not
possible). But the C code just calls get_oid(), which will yield the oid
of the tag.
The fix is to peel to a commit. The error message here is a little
non-idiomatic for Git (since it starts with a capital). I've mostly left
it, as it matches the other converted messages (like the "Bad rev input"
we print when get_oid() fails), though I did add an indication that it
was the peeling that was the problem. It might be worth taking a pass
through this converted code to modernize some of the error messages.
Note also that the test does a bare "grep" (not i18ngrep) on the
expected "X is the first bad commit" output message. This matches the
rest of the test script.

In 552955ed7f ("clone: use more conventional config/option layering",
2020-10-01), clone learned to read configuration options earlier in its
execution, before creating the new repository. However, that led to a
problem: if the core.bare setting is set to false in the global config,
cloning a bare repository segfaults. This happens because the
repository is falsely thought to be non-bare, but clone has set the work
tree to NULL, which is then dereferenced.
The code to initialize the repository already considers the fact that a
user might want to override the --bare option for git init, but it
doesn't take into account clone, which uses a different option. Let's
just check that the work tree is not NULL, since that's how clone
indicates that the repository is bare. This is also the case for git
init, so we won't be regressing that case.

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.

The comment in this block is meant to indicate that passing '--all',
'--reflog', and so on aren't necessary when repacking with the
'--geometric' option.
But, it has two problems: first, it is factually incorrect ('--all' is
*not* incompatible with '--stdin-packs' as the comment suggests);
second, it is quite focused on the geometric case for a block that is
guarding against it.
Reword this comment to address both issues.

There are a number of places in the geometric repack code where we
multiply the number of objects in a pack by another unsigned value. We
trust that the number of objects in a pack is always representable by a
uint32_t, but we don't necessarily trust that that number can be
multiplied without overflow.
Sprinkle some unsigned_add_overflows() and unsigned_mult_overflows() in
split_pack_geometry() to check that we never overflow any unsigned types
when adding or multiplying them.
Arguably these checks are a little too conservative, and certainly they
do not help the readability of this function. But they are serving a
useful purpose, so I think they are worthwhile overall.

To determine the where to place the split when repacking with the
'--geometric' option, split_pack_geometry() assigns the "split" variable
and then decrements it in a loop.
It would be equivalent (and more readable) to assign the split to the
loop position after exiting the loop, so do that instead.

In 0fabafd0b9 (builtin/repack.c: add '--geometric' option, 2021-02-22),
the 'git repack --geometric' code aborts early when there is zero or one
pack.
When there are no packs, this code does the right thing by placing the
split at "0". But when there is exactly one pack, the split is placed at
"1", which means that "git repack --geometric" (with any factor)
repacks all of the objects in a single pack.
This is wasteful, and the remaining code in split_pack_geometry() does
the right thing (not repacking the objects in a single pack) even when
only one pack is present.
Loosen the guard to only stop when there aren't any packs, and let the
rest of the code do the right thing. Add a test to ensure that this is
the case.

The following sequence, on a case-insensitive file system,
(strictly speeking with core.ignorecase=true)
leads to an assertion failure and leaves .git/index.lock behind.
git init
echo foo >foo
git add foo
git mv foo FOO
git mv foo bar
This regression was introduced in Commit 9b906af657,
"git-mv: improve error message for conflicted file"
The bugfix is to change the "file exist case-insensitive in the index"
into the correct "file exist (case-sensitive) in the index".
This avoids the "assert" later in the code and keeps setting up the
"ce" pointer for ce_stage(ce) done in the next else if.

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.

Change "git remote add" so that it adds a *.tagOpt key, and not the
lower-cased *.tagopt on "git remote add --no-tags", just as "git clone
--no-tags" would do.
This doesn't matter for anything that reads the config. It's just
prettier if we write config keys in their documented camelCase form to
user-readable config files.
When I added support for "clone -no-tags" in 0dab2468ee5 (clone: add a
--no-tags option to clone without tags, 2017-04-26) I made it use
the *.tagOpt form, but the older "git remote add" added in
111fb858654 (remote add: add a --[no-]tags option, 2010-04-20) has
been using *.tagopt all this time.
It's easy enough to add a test for this, so let's do that. We can't
use "git config -l" there, because it'll normalize the keys to their
lower-cased form. Let's add the test for "git clone" too for good
measure, not just to the "git remote" codepath we're fixing.

If `add` encounters an error while applying the --chmod changes, it
prints a message to stderr, but exits with a success code. This might
have been an oversight, as the command does exit with a non-zero code in
other situations where it cannot (or refuses to) update all of the
requested paths (e.g. when some of the given paths are ignored). So make
the exit behavior more consistent by also propagating --chmod errors to
the exit status.
Note: the test "all statuses changed in folder if . is given" uses paths
added by previous test cases, some of which might be symbolic links.
Because `git add --chmod` will now fail with such paths, this test would
depend on whether all the previous tests were executed, or only some
of them. Avoid that by running the test on a fresh repo with only
regular files.

When we added a syntax sugar "git push remote --delete <ref>" to
"git push" as a synonym to the canonical "git push remote :<ref>"
syntax at f517f1f2 (builtin-push: add --delete as syntactic sugar
for :foo, 2009-12-30), we weren't careful enough to make sure that
<ref> is not empty.
Blindly rewriting "--delete <ref>" to ":<ref>" means that an empty
string <ref> results in refspec ":", which is the syntax to ask for
"matching" push that does not delete anything.
Worse yet, if there were matching refs that can be fast-forwarded,
they would have been published prematurely, even if the user feels
that they are not ready yet to be pushed out, which would be a real
disaster.

The periodic maintenance tasks configured by `git maintenance start`
invoke `git for-each-repo` to run `git maintenance run` on each path
specified by the multi-value global configuration variable
`maintenance.repo`. Because `git for-each-repo` will likely be run
outside of the repositories which require periodic maintenance, it is
mandatory that the repository paths specified by `maintenance.repo` are
absolute.
Unfortunately, however, `git maintenance register` does nothing to
ensure that the paths it assigns to `maintenance.repo` are indeed
absolute, and may in fact -- especially in the case of a bare repository
-- assign a relative path to `maintenance.repo` instead. Fix this
problem by converting all paths to absolute before assigning them to
`maintenance.repo`.
While at it, also fix `git maintenance unregister` to convert paths to
absolute, as well, in order to ensure that it can correctly remove from
`maintenance.repo` a path assigned via `git maintenance register`.

Often it is useful to both:
- have relatively few packfiles in a repository, and
- avoid having so few packfiles in a repository that we repack its
entire contents regularly
This patch implements a '--geometric=<n>' option in 'git repack'. This
allows the caller to specify that they would like each pack to be at
least a factor times as large as the previous largest pack (by object
count).
Concretely, say that a repository has 'n' packfiles, labeled P1, P2,
..., up to Pn. Each packfile has an object count equal to 'objects(Pn)'.
With a geometric factor of 'r', it should be that:
objects(Pi) > r*objects(P(i-1))
for all i in [1, n], where the packs are sorted by
objects(P1) <= objects(P2) <= ... <= objects(Pn).
Since finding a true optimal repacking is NP-hard, we approximate it
along two directions:
1. We assume that there is a cutoff of packs _before starting the
repack_ where everything to the right of that cut-off already forms
a geometric progression (or no cutoff exists and everything must be
repacked).
2. We assume that everything smaller than the cutoff count must be
repacked. This forms our base assumption, but it can also cause
even the "heavy" packs to get repacked, for e.g., if we have 6
packs containing the following number of objects:
1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 32
then we would place the cutoff between '1, 1' and '1, 2, 4, 32',
rolling up the first two packs into a pack with 2 objects. That
breaks our progression and leaves us:
2, 1, 2, 4, 32
^
(where the '^' indicates the position of our split). To restore a
progression, we move the split forward (towards larger packs)
joining each pack into our new pack until a geometric progression
is restored. Here, that looks like:
2, 1, 2, 4, 32 ~> 3, 2, 4, 32 ~> 5, 4, 32 ~> ... ~> 9, 32
^ ^ ^ ^
This has the advantage of not repacking the heavy-side of packs too
often while also only creating one new pack at a time. Another wrinkle
is that we assume that loose, indexed, and reflog'd objects are
insignificant, and lump them into any new pack that we create. This can
lead to non-idempotent results.

Now that we have find_kept_pack_entry(), we don't have to manually keep
hunting through every pack to find a possible "kept" duplicate of the
object. This should be faster, assuming only a portion of your total
packs are actually kept.
Note that we have to re-order the logic a bit here; we can deal with the
disqualifying situations first (e.g., finding the object in a non-local
pack with --local), then "kept" situation(s), and then just fall back to
other "--local" conditions.
Here are the results from p5303 (measurements again taken on the
kernel):
Test HEAD^ HEAD
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5303.5: repack (1) 57.26(54.59+10.84) 57.34(54.66+10.88) +0.1%
5303.6: repack with kept (1) 57.33(54.80+10.51) 57.38(54.83+10.49) +0.1%
5303.11: repack (50) 71.54(88.57+4.84) 71.70(88.99+4.74) +0.2%
5303.12: repack with kept (50) 85.12(102.05+4.94) 72.58(89.61+4.78) -14.7%
5303.17: repack (1000) 216.87(490.79+14.57) 217.19(491.72+14.25) +0.1%
5303.18: repack with kept (1000) 665.63(938.87+15.76) 246.12(520.07+14.93) -63.0%
and the --stdin-packs timings:
5303.7: repack with --stdin-packs (1) 0.01(0.01+0.00) 0.00(0.00+0.00) -100.0%
5303.13: repack with --stdin-packs (50) 3.53(12.07+0.24) 3.43(11.75+0.24) -2.8%
5303.19: repack with --stdin-packs (1000) 195.83(371.82+8.10) 130.50(307.15+7.66) -33.4%
So our repack with an empty .keep pack is roughly as fast as one without
a .keep pack up to 50 packs. But the --stdin-packs case scales a little
better, too.
Notably, it is faster than a repack of the same size and a kept pack. It
looks at fewer objects, of course, but the penalty for looking at many
packs isn't as costly.

In an upcoming commit, 'git repack' will want to create a pack comprised
of all of the objects in some packs (the included packs) excluding any
objects in some other packs (the excluded packs).
This caller could iterate those packs themselves and feed the objects it
finds to 'git pack-objects' directly over stdin, but this approach has a
few downsides:
- It requires every caller that wants to drive 'git pack-objects' in
this way to implement pack iteration themselves. This forces the
caller to think about details like what order objects are fed to
pack-objects, which callers would likely rather not do.
- If the set of objects in included packs is large, it requires
sending a lot of data over a pipe, which is inefficient.
- The caller is forced to keep track of the excluded objects, too, and
make sure that it doesn't send any objects that appear in both
included and excluded packs.
But the biggest downside is the lack of a reachability traversal.
Because the caller passes in a list of objects directly, those objects
don't get a namehash assigned to them, which can have a negative impact
on the delta selection process, causing 'git pack-objects' to fail to
find good deltas even when they exist.
The caller could formulate a reachability traversal themselves, but the
only way to drive 'git pack-objects' in this way is to do a full
traversal, and then remove objects in the excluded packs after the
traversal is complete. This can be detrimental to callers who care
about performance, especially in repositories with many objects.
Introduce 'git pack-objects --stdin-packs' which remedies these four
concerns.
'git pack-objects --stdin-packs' expects a list of pack names on stdin,
where 'pack-xyz.pack' denotes that pack as included, and
'^pack-xyz.pack' denotes it as excluded. The resulting pack includes all
objects that are present in at least one included pack, and aren't
present in any excluded pack.
To address the delta selection problem, 'git pack-objects --stdin-packs'
works as follows. First, it assembles a list of objects that it is going
to pack, as above. Then, a reachability traversal is started, whose tips
are any commits mentioned in included packs. Upon visiting an object, we
find its corresponding object_entry in the to_pack list, and set its
namehash parameter appropriately.
To avoid the traversal visiting more objects than it needs to, the
traversal is halted upon encountering an object which can be found in an
excluded pack (by marking the excluded packs as kept in-core, and
passing --no-kept-objects=in-core to the revision machinery).
This can cause the traversal to halt early, for example if an object in
an included pack is an ancestor of ones in excluded packs. But stopping
early is OK, since filling in the namehash fields of objects in the
to_pack list is only additive (i.e., having it helps the delta selection
process, but leaving it blank doesn't impact the correctness of the
resulting pack).
Even still, it is unlikely that this hurts us much in practice, since
the 'git repack --geometric' caller (which is introduced in a later
commit) marks small packs as included, and large ones as excluded.
During ordinary use, the small packs usually represent pushes after a
large repack, and so are unlikely to be ancestors of objects that
already exist in the repository.
(I found it convenient while developing this patch to have 'git
pack-objects' report the number of objects which were visited and got
their namehash fields filled in during traversal. This is also included
in the below patch via trace2 data lines).

Teach index-pack to print dangling .gitmodules links after its "keep" or
"pack" line instead of declaring an error, and teach fetch-pack to check
such lines printed.
This allows the tree side of the .gitmodules link to be in one packfile
and the blob side to be in another without failing the fsck check,
because it is now fetch-pack which checks such objects after all
packfiles have been downloaded and indexed (and not index-pack on an
individual packfile, as it is before this commit).
