We have various behavior that's shared across our Makefiles, or that
really should be (e.g. via defined templates). Let's create a
top-level "shared.mak" to house those sorts of things, and start by
adding the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag to it.
See my own 7b76d6bf221 (Makefile: add and use the ".DELETE_ON_ERROR"
flag, 2021-06-29) and db10fc6c09f (doc: simplify Makefile using
.DELETE_ON_ERROR, 2021-05-21) for the addition and use of the
".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag.
I.e. this changes the behavior of existing rules in the altered
Makefiles (except "Makefile" & "Documentation/Makefile"). I'm
confident that this is safe having read the relevant rules in those
Makfiles, and as the GNU make manual notes that it isn't the default
behavior is out of an abundance of backwards compatibility
caution. From edition 0.75 of its manual, covering GNU make 4.3:
[Enabling '.DELETE_ON_ERROR' is] almost always what you want
'make' to do, but it is not historical practice; so for
compatibility, you must explicitly request it.
This doesn't introduce a bug by e.g. having this
".DELETE_ON_ERROR" flag only apply to this new shared.mak, Makefiles
have no such scoping semantics.
It does increase the danger that any Makefile without an explicit "The
default target of this Makefile is..." snippet to define the default
target as "all" could have its default rule changed if our new
shared.mak ever defines a "real" rule. In subsequent commits we'll be
careful not to do that, and such breakage would be obvious e.g. in the
case of "make -C t".
We might want to make that less fragile still (e.g. by using
".DEFAULT_GOAL" as noted in the preceding commit), but for now let's
simply include "shared.mak" without adding that boilerplate to all the
Makefiles that don't have it already. Most of those are already
exposed to that potential caveat e.g. due to including "config.mak*".

Make the "contrib/scalar/Makefile" be stylistically consistent with
the top-level "Makefile" in first declaring "all" to be the default
rule, followed by including other Makefile snippets.
This adjusts code added in 0a43fb22026 (scalar: create a rudimentary
executable, 2021-12-03), it further ensures that when we add another
"include" file in a subsequent commit that the included file won't be
the one to define our default target.

Update the __gitcomp_directories method to de-quote and handle unusual
characters in directory names. Although this initially involved an attempt
to re-use the logic in __git_index_files, this method removed
subdirectories (e.g. folder1/0/ became folder1/), so instead new custom
logic was placed directly in the __gitcomp_directories method.
Note there are two tests for this new functionality - one for spaces and
accents and one for backslashes and tabs. The backslashes and tabs test
uses FUNNYNAMES to avoid running on Windows. This is because:
1. Backslashes are explicitly not allowed in Windows file paths.
2. Although tabs appear to be allowed when creating a file in a Windows
bash shell, they actually are not renderable (and appear as empty boxes
in the shell).

Use new __gitcomp_directories method to complete directory names in cone

Correct multiple issues with tab completion of the git sparse-checkout
command. These issues were:
1. git sparse-checkout <TAB> previously resulted in an incomplete list of
subcommands (it was missing reapply and add).
2. Subcommand options were not tab-completable.
3. git sparse-checkout set <TAB> and git sparse-checkout add <TAB> showed
both file names and directory names. While this may be a less surprising
behavior for non-cone mode, cone mode sparse checkouts should complete
only directory names.
Note that while the new strategy of just using git ls-tree to complete on
directory names is simple and a step in the right direction, it does have
some caveats. These are:
1. Likelihood of poor performance in large monorepos (as a result of
recursively completing directory names).
2. Inability to handle paths containing unusual characters.
These caveats will be fixed by subsequent commits in this series.

Add a GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL_COMMANDS=1 configuration setting to go
with the existing GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL=1 added in
c099f579b98 (completion: add GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL env var,
2020-08-19).
This will include plumbing commands such as "cat-file" in "git <TAB>"
and "git c<TAB>" completion. Without/with this I have 134 and 243
completion with git <TAB>, respectively.
It was already possible to do this by tweaking
GIT_TESTING_PORCELAIN_COMMAND_LIST= from the outside, that testing
variable was added in 84a97131065 (completion: let git provide the
completable command list, 2018-05-20). Doing this before loading
git-completion.bash worked:
export GIT_TESTING_PORCELAIN_COMMAND_LIST="$(git --list-cmds=builtins,main,list-mainporcelain,others,nohelpers,alias,list-complete,config)"
But such testing variables are not meant to be used from the outside,
and we make no guarantees that those internal won't change. So let's
expose this as a dedicated configuration knob.
It would be better to teach --list-cmds=* a new category which would
include all of these groups, but that's a larger change that we can
leave for some other time.

The `git` executable has these two very useful options:
-C <directory>:
switch to the specified directory before performing any actions
-c <key>=<value>:
temporarily configure this setting for the duration of the
specified scalar subcommand
With this commit, we teach the `scalar` executable the same trick.
Note: It might look like a good idea to try to reuse the
`handle_options()` function in `git.c` instead of replicating only the
`-c`/`-C` part. However, that function is not only not in `libgit.a`, it
is also intricately entangled with the rest of the code in `git.c` that
is necessary e.g. to handle `--paginate`. Besides, no other option
handled by that `handle_options()` function is relevant to Scalar,
therefore the cost of refactoring vastly would outweigh the benefit.

There are many situations in which having access to a cryptographically
secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) is helpful. In the
future, we'll encounter one of these when dealing with temporary files.
To make this possible, let's add a function which reads from a system
CSPRNG and returns some bytes.
We know that all systems will have such an interface. A CSPRNG is
required for a secure TLS or SSH implementation and a Git implementation
which provided neither would be of little practical use. In addition,
POSIX is set to standardize getentropy(2) in the next version, so in the
(potentially distant) future we can rely on that.
For systems which lack one of the other interfaces, we provide the
ability to use OpenSSL's CSPRNG. OpenSSL is highly portable and
functions on practically every known OS, and we know it will have access
to some source of cryptographically secure randomness. We also provide
support for the arc4random in libbsd for folks who would prefer to use
that.
Because this is a security sensitive interface, we take some
precautions. We either succeed by filling the buffer completely as we
requested, or we fail. We don't return partial data because the caller
will almost never find that to be a useful behavior.
Specify a makefile knob which users can use to specify one or more
suitable CSPRNGs, and turn the multiple string options into a set of
defines, since we cannot match on strings in the preprocessor. We allow
multiple options to make the job of handling this in autoconf easier.
The order of options is important here. On systems with arc4random,
which is most of the BSDs, we use that, since, except on MirBSD and
macOS, it uses ChaCha20, which is extremely fast, and sits entirely in
userspace, avoiding a system call. We then prefer getrandom over
getentropy, because the former has been available longer on Linux, and
then OpenSSL. Finally, if none of those are available, we use
/dev/urandom, because most Unix-like operating systems provide that API.
We prefer options that don't involve device files when possible because
those work in some restricted environments where device files may not be
available.
Set the configuration variables appropriately for Linux and the BSDs,
including macOS, as well as Windows and NonStop. We specifically only
consider versions which receive publicly available security support
here. For the same reason, we don't specify getrandom(2) on Linux,
because CentOS 7 doesn't support it in glibc (although its kernel does)
and we don't want to resort to making syscalls.
Finally, add a test helper to allow this to be tested by hand and in
tests. We don't add any tests, since invoking the CSPRNG is not likely
to produce interesting, reproducible results.

Fix performance-releated bug in "git subtree" (in contrib/).

subtree: fix argument handling in check_parents
|
|
315a84f9aa0 (subtree: use commits before rejoins for splits, 2018-09-28)
changed the signature of check_parents from 'check_parents [REV...]'
to 'check_parents PARENTS_EXPR INDENT'. In other words the variable list
of parent revisions became a list embedded in a string. However it
neglected to unpack the list again before sending it to cache_miss,
leading to incorrect calls whenever more than one parent was present.
This is the case whenever a merge commit is processed, with the end
result being a loss of performance from unecessary rechecks.
The indent parameter was subsequently removed in e9525a8a029 (subtree:
have $indent actually affect indentation, 2021-04-27), but the argument
handling bug remained.
For consistency, take multiple arguments in check_parents,
and pass all of them to cache_miss separately.

Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected
and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a
contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when
the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last
command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command
which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within
loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

The top-level &&-chain checker built into t/test-lib.sh causes tests to
magically exit with code 117 if the &&-chain is broken. However, it has
the shortcoming that the magic does not work within `{...}` groups,
`(...)` subshells, `$(...)` substitutions, or within bodies of compound
statements, such as `if`, `for`, `while`, `case`, etc. `chainlint.sed`
partly fills in the gap by catching broken &&-chains in `(...)`
subshells, but bugs can still lurk behind broken &&-chains in the other
cases.
Fix broken &&-chains in `$(...)` command substitutions in order to

The .NET version of Scalar has a `version` command. This was necessary
because it was versioned independently of Git.
Since Scalar is now tightly coupled with Git, it does not make sense for
them to show different versions. Therefore, it shows the same output as
`git version`. For backwards-compatibility with the .NET version,
`scalar version` prints to `stderr`, though (`git version` prints to
`stdout` instead).

This implements Scalar's opinionated `clone` command: it tries to use a
partial clone and sets up a sparse checkout by default. In contrast to
`git clone`, `scalar clone` sets up the worktree in the `src/`
subdirectory, to encourage a separation between the source files and the
build output (which helps Git tremendously because it avoids untracked
files that have to be specifically ignored when refreshing the index).
Also, it registers the repository for regular, scheduled maintenance,
and configures a flurry of configuration settings based on the
experience and experiments of the Microsoft Windows and the Microsoft
Office development teams.
Note: since the `scalar clone` command is by far the most commonly
called `scalar` subcommand, we document it at the top of the manual

Let's start implementing the `register` command. With this commit,
recommended settings are configured upon `scalar register`, and Git's

The recommended config settings may very well change in the future. For

running `scalar register` in an already-registered enlistment.

To test the Scalar command, create a test script in contrib/scalar/t
that is executed as `make -C contrib/scalar test`. Since Scalar has no
meaningful capabilities yet, the only test is rather simple. We will add
more tests in subsequent commits that introduce corresponding, new
functionality.
Note: This test script is intended to test `scalar` only lightly, even
after all of the functionality is implemented.
A more comprehensive functional (or: integration) test suite can be
found at https://github.com/microsoft/scalar; It is used in the workflow
https://github.com/microsoft/git/blob/HEAD/.github/workflows/scalar-functional-tests.yml
in Microsoft's Git fork. This test suite performs end-to-end tests with
a real remote repository, and is run as part of the regular CI and PR
builds in that fork.
Since those tests require some functionality supported only by
Microsoft's Git fork ("GVFS protocol"), there is no intention to port
that fuller test suite to `contrib/scalar/`.

The idea of Scalar (https://github.com/microsoft/scalar), and before
that, of VFS for Git, has always been to prove that Git _can_ scale, and
to upstream whatever strategies have been demonstrated to help.
With this patch, we start the journey from that C# project to move what
is left to Git's own `contrib/` directory, reimplementing it in pure C,
with the intention to facilitate integrating the functionality into core
Git all while maintaining backwards-compatibility for existing Scalar
users (which will be much easier when both live in the same worktree).
It has always been the plan to contribute all of the proven strategies
back to core Git.
For example, while the virtual filesystem provided by VFS for Git helped
the team developing the Windows operating system to move onto Git, while
trying to upstream it we realized that it cannot be done: getting the
virtual filesystem to work (which we only managed to implement fully on
Windows, but not on, say, macOS or Linux), and the required server-side
support for the GVFS protocol, made this not quite feasible.
The Scalar project learned from that and tackled the problem with
different tactics: instead of pretending to Git that the working
directory is fully populated, it _specifically_ teaches Git about
partial clone (which is based on VFS for Git's cache server), about
sparse checkout (which VFS for Git tried to do transparently, in the
file system layer), and regularly runs maintenance tasks to keep the
repository in a healthy state.
With partial clone, sparse checkout and `git maintenance` having been
upstreamed, there is little left that `scalar.exe` does which `git.exe`
cannot do. One such thing is that `scalar clone <url>` will
automatically set up a partial, sparse clone, and configure
known-helpful settings from the start.
So let's bring this convenience into Git's tree.
The idea here is that you can (optionally) build Scalar via
make -C contrib/scalar/
This will build the `scalar` executable and put it into the
contrib/scalar/ subdirectory.
The slightly awkward addition of the `contrib/scalar/*` bits to the
top-level `Makefile` are actually really required: we want to link to
`libgit.a`, which means that we will need to use the very same `CFLAGS`
and `LDFLAGS` as the rest of Git.
An early development version of this patch tried to replicate all the
conditional code in `contrib/scalar/Makefile` (e.g. `NO_POLL`) just like
`contrib/svn-fe/Makefile` used to do before it was retired. It turned
out to be quite the whack-a-mole game: the SHA-1-related flags, the
flags enabling/disabling `compat/poll/`, `compat/regex/`,
`compat/win32mmap.c` & friends depending on the current platform... To
put it mildly: it was a major mess.
Instead, this patch makes minimal changes to the top-level `Makefile` so
that the bits in `contrib/scalar/` can be compiled and linked, and
adds a `contrib/scalar/Makefile` that uses the top-level `Makefile` in a
most minimal way to do the actual compiling.
Note: With this commit, we only establish the infrastructure, no
Scalar functionality is implemented yet; We will do that incrementally
over the next few commits.

The C99 standard was released in January 1999, now 22 years ago. It
provides a variety of useful features, including variadic arguments for
macros, declarations after statements, designated initializers, and a
wide variety of other useful features, many of which we already use.
We'd like to take advantage of these features, but we want to be
cautious. As far as we know, all major compilers now support C99 or a
later C standard, such as C11 or C17. POSIX has required C99 support as
a requirement for the 2001 revision, so we can safely assume any POSIX
system which we are interested in supporting has C99.
Even MSVC, long a holdout against modern C, now supports both C11 and
C17 with an appropriate update. Moreover, even if people are using an
older version of MSVC on these systems, they will generally need some
implementation of the standard Unix utilities for the testsuite, and GNU
coreutils, the most common option, has required C99 since 2009.
Therefore, we can safely assume that a suitable version of GCC or clang
is available to users even if their version of MSVC is not sufficiently
capable.
Let's add a test balloon to git-compat-util.h to see if anyone is using
an older compiler. We'll add a comment telling people how to enable
this functionality on GCC and Clang, even though modern versions of both
will automatically do the right thing, and ask people still experiencing
a problem to report that to us on the list.
Note that C89 compilers don't provide the __STDC_VERSION__ macro, so we
use a well-known hack of using "- 0". On compilers with this macro, it
doesn't change the value, and on C89 compilers, the macro will be
replaced with nothing, and our value will be 0.
For sparse, we explicitly request the gnu99 style because we've
traditionally taken advantage of some GCC- and clang-specific extensions
when available and we'd like to retain the ability to do that. sparse
also defaults to C89 without it, so things will fail for us if we don't.
Update the cmake configuration to require C11 for MSVC. We do this
because this will make MSVC to use C11, since it does not explicitly
support C99. We do this with a compiler options because setting the
C_STANDARD option does not work in our CI on MSVC and at the moment, we
don't want to require C11 for Unix compilers.
In the Makefile, don't set any compiler flags for the compiler itself,
since on some systems, such as FreeBSD, we actually need C11, and asking
for C99 causes things to fail to compile. The error message should make
it obvious what's going wrong and allow a user to set the appropriate
option when building in the event they're using a Unix compiler that
doesn't support it by default.

"zdiff3" is identical to ordinary diff3 except that it allows compaction
of common lines on the two sides of history at the beginning or end of
the conflict hunk. For example, the following diff3 conflict:
1
2
3
4
<<<<<<
A
B
C
D
E
||||||
5
6
======
A
X
C
Y
E
>>>>>>
7
8
9
has common lines 'A', 'C', and 'E' on the two sides. With zdiff3, one
would instead get the following conflict:
1
2
3
4
A
<<<<<<
B
C
D
||||||
5
6
======
X
C
Y
>>>>>>
E
7
8
9
Note that the common lines, 'A', and 'E' were moved outside the
conflict. Unlike with the two-way conflicts from the 'merge'
conflictStyle, the zdiff3 conflict is NOT split into multiple conflict
regions to allow the common 'C' lines to be shown outside a conflict,
because zdiff3 shows the base version too and the base version cannot be
reasonably split.
Note also that the removing of lines common to the two sides might make
the remaining text inside the conflict region match the base text inside
the conflict region (for example, if the diff3 conflict had '5 6 E' on
the right side of the conflict, then the common line 'E' would be moved
outside and both the base and right side's remaining conflict text would
be the lines '5' and '6'). This has the potential to surprise users and
make them think there should not have been a conflict, but there
definitely was a conflict and it should remain.

Make a few helper functions unused and then lose them.
* ab/sh-retire-helper-functions:
git-sh-setup: remove "sane_grep", it's not needed anymore
git-sh-setup: remove unused sane_egrep() function
git-instaweb: unconditionally assume that gitweb is mod_perl capable
Makefile: remove $(NO_CURL) from $(SCRIPT_DEFINES)
Makefile: remove $(GIT_VERSION) from $(SCRIPT_DEFINES)
Makefile: move git-SCRIPT-DEFINES adjacent to $(SCRIPT_DEFINES)

The command line complation for "git send-email" options have been
tweaked to make it easier to keep it in sync with the command itself.
* tp/send-email-completion:
send-email docs: add format-patch options
send-email: programmatically generate bash completions

We currently throw away any arguments given to "git jump merge". We
should instead pass them along to ls-files, since they're likely to be
pathspecs. This matches the behavior of "git jump diff", etc.

Fix long-standing shell syntax error in the completion script.
* re/completion-fix-test-equality:
completion: fix incorrect bash/zsh string equality check
|
|
In the basic `[`/`test` command, the string equality operator is a
single `=`. The `==` operator is only available in `[[`, which is a
bash-ism also supported by zsh.
This mix-up was causing the following completion error in zsh:
> __git_ls_files_helper:7: = not found
(That message refers to the extraneous symbol in `==` ← `=`).
This updates that comparison to use a single `=` inside the
basic `[ … ]` test conditional.
Although this fix is inconsistent with the other comparisons in this
file, which use `[[ … == … ]]`, and the two expressions are functionally
identical in this context, that approach was rejected due to a
preference for `[`.

"git send-email --git-completion-helper" only prints "format-patch"
flags. Make it print "send-email" flags as well, extracting them
programmatically from its three existing "GetOptions".
Introduce a "uniq" subroutine, otherwise --cc-cover, --to-cover and
other flags would show up twice. In addition, deduplicate flags common
to both "send-email" and "format-patch", like --from.
Remove extraneous flags: --h and --git-completion-helper.
Add trailing "=" to options that expect an argument, inline with
the format-patch implementation.
Add a completion test for "send-email --validate", a send-email flag.

Remove the sane_grep() shell function in git-sh-setup. The two reasons
for why it existed don't apply anymore:
1. It was added due to GNU grep supporting GREP_OPTIONS. See
e1622bfcbad (Protect scripted Porcelains from GREP_OPTIONS insanity,
2009-11-23).
Newer versions of GNU grep ignore that, but even on older versions
its existence won't matter, none of these sane_grep() uses care
about grep's output, they're merely using it to check if a string
exists in a file or stream. We also don't care about the "LC_ALL=C"
that "sane_grep" was using, these greps for fixed or ASCII strings
will behave the same under any locale.
2. The SANE_TEXT_GREP added in 71b401032b9 (sane_grep: pass "-a" if
grep accepts it, 2016-03-08) isn't needed either, none of these grep
uses deal with binary data.
