To prevent the race described in an earlier patch, generate and pass a
reference snapshot to the multi-pack bitmap code, if we are writing one
from `git repack`.
This patch is mostly limited to creating a temporary file, and then
calling for_each_ref(). Except we try to minimize duplicates, since
doing so can drastically reduce the size in network-of-forks style
repositories. In the kernel's fork network (the repository containing
all objects from the kernel and all its forks), deduplicating the
references drops the snapshot size from 934 MB to just 12 MB.
But since we're handling duplicates in this way, we have to make sure
that we preferred references (those listed in pack.preferBitmapTips)
before non-preferred ones (to avoid recording an object which is pointed
at by a preferred tip as non-preferred).
We accomplish this by doing separate passes over the references: first
visiting each prefix in pack.preferBitmapTips, and then over the rest of
the references.

When repacking into a geometric series and writing a multi-pack bitmap,
it is beneficial to have the largest resulting pack be the preferred
object source in the bitmap's MIDX, since selecting the large packs can
lead to fewer broken delta chains and better compression.
Teach 'git repack' to identify this pack and pass it to the MIDX write
machinery in order to mark it as preferred.

Teach `git repack` a new `--write-midx` option for callers that wish to
persist a multi-pack index in their repository while repacking.
There are two existing alternatives to this new flag, but they don't
cover our particular use-case. These alternatives are:
- Call 'git multi-pack-index write' after running 'git repack', or
- Set 'GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=1' in your environment when running
'git repack'.
The former works, but introduces a gap in bitmap coverage between
repacking and writing a new MIDX (since the repack may have deleted a
pack included in the existing MIDX, invalidating it altogether).
Setting the 'GIT_TEST_' environment variable is obviously unsupported.
In fact, even if it were supported officially, it still wouldn't work,
because it generates the MIDX *after* redundant packs have been dropped,
leading to the same issue as above.
Introduce a new option which eliminates this race by teaching `git
repack` to generate the MIDX at the critical point: after the new packs
have been written and moved into place, but before the redundant packs
have been removed.
This option is compatible with `git repack`'s '--bitmap' option (it
changes the interpretation to be: "write a bitmap corresponding to the
MIDX after one has been generated").
There is a little bit of additional noise in the patch below to avoid
repeating ourselves when selecting which packs to delete. Instead of a
single loop as before (where we iterate over 'existing_packs', decide if
a pack is worth deleting, and if so, delete it), we have two loops (the
first where we decide which ones are worth deleting, and the second
where we actually do the deleting). This makes it so we have a single
check we can make consistently when (1) telling the MIDX which packs we
want to exclude, and (2) actually unlinking the redundant packs.
There is also a tiny change to short-circuit the body of
write_midx_included_packs() when no packs remain in the case of an empty
repository. The MIDX code does not handle this, so avoid trying to
generate a MIDX covering zero packs in the first place.

To figure out which commits we can write a bitmap for, the multi-pack
index/bitmap code does a reachability traversal, marking any commit
which can be found in the MIDX as eligible to receive a bitmap.
This approach will cause a problem when multi-pack bitmaps are able to
be generated from `git repack`, since the reference tips can change
during the repack. Even though we ignore commits that don't exist in
the MIDX (when doing a scan of the ref tips), it's possible that a
commit in the MIDX reaches something that isn't.
This can happen when a multi-pack index contains some pack which refers
to loose objects (e.g., if a pack was pushed after starting the repack
but before generating the MIDX which depends on an object which is
stored as loose in the repository, and by definition isn't included in
the multi-pack index).
By taking a snapshot of the references before we start repacking, we can
close that race window. In the above scenario (where we have a packed
object pointing at a loose one), we'll either (a) take a snapshot of the
references before seeing the packed one, or (b) take it after, at which
point we can guarantee that the loose object will be packed and included
in the MIDX.
This patch does just that. It writes a temporary "reference snapshot",
which is a list of OIDs that are at the ref tips before writing a
multi-pack bitmap. References that are "preferred" (i.e,. are a suffix
of at least one value of the 'pack.preferBitmapTips' configuration) are
marked with a special '+'.
The format is simple: one line per commit at each tip, with an optional
'+' at the beginning (for preferred references, as described above).
When provided, the reference snapshot is used to drive bitmap selection
instead of the MIDX code doing its own traversal. When it isn't
provided, the usual traversal takes place instead.

To power a new `--write-midx` mode, `git repack` will want to write a
multi-pack index containing a certain set of packs in the repository.
This new option will be used by `git repack` to write a MIDX which
contains only the packs which will survive after the repack (that is, it
will exclude any packs which are about to be deleted).
This patch effectively exposes the function implemented in the previous
commit via the `git multi-pack-index` builtin. An alternative approach
would have been to call that function from the `git repack` builtin
directly, but this introduces awkward problems around closing and
reopening the object store, so the MIDX will be written out-of-process.

These new performance tests demonstrate effectively the same behavior as
p5310, but use a multi-pack bitmap instead of a single-pack one.
Notably, p5326 does not create a MIDX bitmap with multiple packs. This
is so we can measure a direct comparison between it and p5310. Any
difference between the two is measuring just the overhead of using MIDX
bitmaps.
Here are the results of p5310 and p5326 together, measured at the same
time and on the same machine (using a Xenon W-2255 CPU):

versus the same tests (this time using a multi-pack index):

5326.15: rev-list with tree filter (partial bitmap) 0.24(0.20+0.04)
There is slight overhead in "simulated clone", "simulated partial
clone", and "clone (partial bitmap)". Unsurprisingly, that overhead is
due to using the MIDX's reverse index to map between bit positions and
MIDX positions.
This can be reproduced by running "git repack -adb" along with "git
multi-pack-index write --bitmap" in a large-ish repository. Then run:
$ perf record -o pack.perf git -c core.multiPackIndex=false \
pack-objects --all --stdout >/dev/null </dev/null
$ perf record -o midx.perf git -c core.multiPackIndex=true \
pack-objects --all --stdout >/dev/null </dev/null
and compare the two with "perf diff -c delta -o 1 pack.perf midx.perf".
The most notable results are below (the next largest positive delta is
+0.14%):

This patch introduces a new test, t5326, which tests the basic
functionality of multi-pack bitmaps.
Some trivial behavior is tested, such as:
- Whether bitmaps can be generated with more than one pack.
- Whether clones can be served with all objects in the bitmap.
- Whether follow-up fetches can be served with some objects outside of
the server's bitmap
These use lib-bitmap's tests (which in turn were pulled from t5310), and
we cover cases where the MIDX represents both a single pack and multiple
packs.
In addition, some non-trivial and MIDX-specific behavior is tested, too,
including:
- Whether multi-pack bitmaps behave correctly with respect to the
pack-reuse machinery when the base for some object is selected from
a different pack than the delta.
- Whether multi-pack bitmaps correctly respect the
pack.preferBitmapTips configuration.

Subsequent tests will want to check for the existence of a multi-pack
bitmap which matches the multi-pack-index stored in the pack directory.
The multi-pack bitmap includes the hex checksum of the MIDX it
corresponds to in its filename (for example,
'$packdir/multi-pack-index-<checksum>.bitmap'). As a result, some tests
want a way to learn what '<checksum>' is.
This helper addresses that need by printing the checksum of the
repository's multi-pack-index.

Opening multiple instance of the same MIDX can lead to problems like two
separate packed_git structures which represent the same pack being added
to the repository's object store.
The above scenario can happen because prepare_midx_pack() checks if
`m->packs[pack_int_id]` is NULL in order to determine if a pack has been
opened and installed in the repository before. But a caller can
construct two copies of the same MIDX by calling get_multi_pack_index()
and load_multi_pack_index() since the former manipulates the
object store directly but the latter is a lower-level routine which
allocates a new MIDX for each call.
So if prepare_midx_pack() is called on multiple MIDXs with the same
pack_int_id, then that pack will be installed twice in the object
store's packed_git pointer.
This can lead to problems in, for e.g., the pack-bitmap code, which does
something like the following (in pack-bitmap.c:open_pack_bitmap()):
struct bitmap_index *bitmap_git = ...;
for (p = get_all_packs(r); p; p = p->next) {
if (open_pack_bitmap_1(bitmap_git, p) == 0)
ret = 0;
}
which is a problem if two copies of the same pack exist in the
packed_git list because pack-bitmap.c:open_pack_bitmap_1() contains a
conditional like the following:
if (bitmap_git->pack || bitmap_git->midx) {
/* ignore extra bitmap file; we can only handle one */
warning("ignoring extra bitmap file: %s", packfile->pack_name);
close(fd);
return -1;
}
Avoid this scenario by not letting write_midx_internal() open a MIDX
that isn't also pointed at by the object store. So long as this is the
case, other routines should prefer to open MIDXs with
get_multi_pack_index() or reprepare_packed_git() instead of creating
instances on their own. Because get_multi_pack_index() returns
`r->object_store->multi_pack_index` if it is non-NULL, we'll only have
one instance of a MIDX open at one time, avoiding these problems.
To encourage this, drop the `struct multi_pack_index *` parameter from
`write_midx_internal()`, and rely instead on the `object_dir` to find
(or initialize) the correct MIDX instance.
Likewise, replace the call to `close_midx()` with
`close_object_store()`, since we're about to replace the MIDX with a new
one and should invalidate the object store's memory of any MIDX that
might have existed beforehand.
Note that this now forbids passing object directories that don't belong
to alternate repositories over `--object-dir`, since before we would
have happily opened a MIDX in any directory, but now restrict ourselves
to only those reachable by `r->objects->multi_pack_index` (and alternate
MIDXs that we can see by walking the `next` pointer).
As far as I can tell, supporting arbitrary directories with
`--object-dir` was a historical accident, since even the documentation
says `<alt>` when referring to the value passed to this option.

The soon-to-be-implemented multi-pack bitmap treats object in the first
bit position specially by assuming that all objects in the pack it was
selected from are also represented from that pack in the MIDX. In other
words, the pack from which the first object was selected must also have
all of its other objects selected from that same pack in the MIDX in
case of any duplicates.
But this assumption relies on the fact that there is at least one object
in that pack to begin with; otherwise the object in the first bit
position isn't from a preferred pack, in which case we can no longer
assume that all objects in that pack were also selected from the same
pack.
Guard this assumption by checking the number of objects in the given
preferred pack, and failing if the given pack is empty.
To make sure we can safely perform this check, open any packs which are
contained in an existing MIDX via prepare_midx_pack(). The same is done
for new packs via the add_pack_to_midx() callback, but packs picked up
from a previous MIDX will not yet have these opened.

If using --object-dir to point into an object directory which belongs to
a different repository than the one in the current working directory,
such as:
git init repo
git -C repo ... # add some objects
cd alternate
git multi-pack-index --object-dir ../repo/.git/objects write
the binary will segfault trying to access the object-dir via the repo it
found, but that's not fully initialized. Worse, if we later call
clear_midx_files_ext(), we will use `the_repository` and remove files
out of the wrong object directory.
Fix this by using the given object_dir (or the object directory of
`the_repository` if `--object-dir` wasn't given) to properly to clean up
the *.rev files, avoiding the crash.

The multi-pack-index command supports working with arbitrary object
directories via the `--object-dir` flag. Though this has historically
worked in arbitrary repositories (including when the command itself was
run outside of a Git repository), this has been somewhat of an accident.
For example, running:
git multi-pack-index write --object-dir=/path/to/repo/objects
outside of a Git repository causes a BUG(). This is because the
top-level `cmd_multi_pack_index()` function stops parsing when it sees
"write", and then fills in the default object directory (the result of
calling `get_object_directory()`) before handing off to
`cmd_multi_pack_index_write()`. But there is no repository to
initialize, and so calling `get_object_directory()` results in a BUG()
(indicating that the current repository is not initialized).
Another case where this doesn't quite work as expected is when operating
in a SHA-256 repository. To see the failure, try this in your shell:
git init --object-format=sha256 repo
git -C repo commit --allow-empty base
git -C repo repack -d
git multi-pack-index --object-dir=$(pwd)/repo/.git/objects write
and observe that we cannot open the `.idx` file in "repo", because the
outermost process assumes that any repository that it works in also uses
the default value of `the_hash_algo` (at the time of writing, SHA-1).
There may be compelling reasons for trying to work around these bugs,
but working in arbitrary `--object-dir`'s is non-standard enough (and
likewise, these bugs prevalent enough) that I don't think any workflows
would be broken by abandoning this behavior.
Accordingly, restrict the `multi-pack-index` builtin to only work when
inside of a Git repository (i.e., its main utility becomes selecting
which alternate to operate in), which avoids both of the bugs above.
(Note that you can still trigger a bug when writing a MIDX in an
alternate which does not use the same object format as the repository
which it is an alternate of, but that is an unrelated bug to this one).

The set of objects covered by a bitmap must be closed under
reachability, since it must be the case that there is a valid bit
position assigned for every possible reachable object (otherwise the
bitmaps would be incomplete).
Pack bitmaps are never written from 'git repack' unless repacking
all-into-one, and so we never write non-closed bitmaps (except in the
case of partial clones where we aren't guaranteed to have all objects).
But multi-pack bitmaps change this, since it isn't known whether the
set of objects in the MIDX is closed under reachability until walking
them. Plumb through a bit that is set when a reachable object isn't
found.
As soon as a reachable object isn't found in the set of objects to
include in the bitmap, bitmap_writer_build() knows that the set is not
closed, and so it now fails gracefully.
A test is added in t0410 to trigger a bitmap write without full
reachability closure by removing local copies of some reachable objects
from a promisor remote.

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.

When performing a rebase, rmdir() is called on the folder .git/logs. On
Unix rmdir() exits without deleting anything in case .git/logs is a
symbolic link but the equivalent functions on Windows (_rmdir, _wrmdir
and RemoveDirectoryW) do not behave the same and remove the folder if it
is symlinked even if it is not empty.
This creates issues when folders in .git/ are symlinks which is
especially the case when git-repo[1] is used: It replaces `.git/logs/`
with a symlink.
One such issue is that the _target_ of that symlink is removed e.g.
during a `git rebase`, where `delete_reflog("REBASE_HEAD")` will not
only try to remove `.git/logs/REBASE_HEAD` but then recursively try to
remove the parent directories until an error occurs, a technique that
obviously relies on `rmdir()` refusing to remove a symlink.
This was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2967.
This commit updates mingw_rmdir() so that its behavior is the same as
Linux rmdir() in case of symbolic links.
To verify that Git does not regress on the reported issue, this patch
adds a regression test for the `git rebase` symptom, even if the same
`rmdir()` behavior is quite likely to cause potential problems in other
Git commands as well.
[1]: git-repo is a python tool built on top of Git which helps manage
many Git repositories. It stores all the .git/ folders in a central
place by taking advantage of symbolic links.

24c30e0b6 (wt-status: tolerate dangling marks, 2020-09-01) adds a test
that uses a BRE which breaks at least with OpenBSD's grep.
switch to an ERE as it is done for similar checks and while at it, remove
the now obsolete test_i18ngrep call.

With a54e938e5b (strbuf: support long paths w/o read rights in
strbuf_getcwd() on FreeBSD, 2017-03-26) we had t0001 break on systems
like OpenBSD and AIX whose getcwd(3) has standard (but not like glibc
et al) behavior.
This was partially fixed in bed67874e2 (t0001: skip test with
restrictive permissions if getpwd(3) respects them, 2017-08-07).
The problem with that fix is that while its analysis of the problem is
correct, it doesn't actually call getcwd(3), instead it invokes "pwd
-P". There is no guarantee that "pwd -P" is going to call getcwd(3),
as opposed to e.g. being a shell built-in.
On AIX under both bash and ksh this test breaks because "pwd -P" will
happily display the current working directory, but getcwd(3) called by
the "git init" we're testing here will fail to get it.
I checked whether clobbering the $PWD environment variable would
affect it, and it didn't. Presumably these shells keep track of their
working directory internally.
There's possible follow-up work here in teaching strbuf_getcwd() to
get the working directory with whatever method "pwd" uses on these
platforms. See [1] for a discussion of that, but let's take the easy
way out here and just skip these tests by fixing the
GETCWD_IGNORES_PERMS prerequisite to match the limitations of
strbuf_getcwd().

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.
