In commit 743474cbfa8b ("merge-recursive: provide a better label for
diff3 common ancestor", 2019-08-17), the label for the common ancestor
was changed from always being
"merged common ancestors"
to instead be based on the number of merge bases:
>=2: "merged common ancestors"
1: <abbreviated commit hash>
0: "<empty tree>"
Unfortunately, this did not take into account that when we have a single
merge base, that merge base could be fake or constructed. In such
cases, this resulted in a label of "00000000". Of course, the previous
label of "merged common ancestors" was also misleading for this case.
Since we have an API that is explicitly about creating fake merge base
commits in merge_recursive_generic(), we should provide a better label
when using that API with one merge base. So, when
merge_recursive_generic() is called with one merge base, set the label
to:
"constructed merge base"
Note that callers of merge_recursive_generic() include the builtin
commands git-am (in combination with git apply --build-fake-ancestor),
git-merge-recursive, and git-stash.

This is the bug that just won't die; there always seems to be another
form of it somewhere. See the commit message of 55f39cf7551b ("merge:
fix misleading pre-merge check documentation", 2018-06-30) for a more
detailed explanation), but in short:
<quick summary>
builtin/merge.c contains this important requirement for merge
strategies:
...the index must be in sync with the head commit. The strategies are
responsible to ensure this.
This condition is important to enforce because there are two likely
failure cases when the index isn't in sync with the head commit:
* we silently throw away changes the user had staged before the merge
* we accidentally (and silently) include changes in the merge that
were not part of either of the branches/trees being merged
Discarding users' work and mis-merging are both bad outcomes, especially
when done silently, so naturally this rule was stated sternly -- but,
unfortunately totally ignored in practice unless and until actual bugs
were found. But, fear not: the bugs from this were fixed in commit
ee6566e8d70d ("[PATCH] Rewrite read-tree", 2005-09-05)
through a rewrite of read-tree (again, commit 55f39cf7551b has a more
detailed explanation of how this affected merge). And it was fixed
again in commit
160252f81626 ("git-merge-ours: make sure our index matches HEAD", 2005-11-03)
...and it was fixed again in commit
3ec62ad9ffba ("merge-octopus: abort if index does not match HEAD", 2016-04-09)
...and again in commit
65170c07d466 ("merge-recursive: avoid incorporating uncommitted changes in a merge", 2017-12-21)
...and again in commit
eddd1a411d93 ("merge-recursive: enforce rule that index matches head before merging", 2018-06-30)
...with multiple testcases added to the testsuite that could be
enumerated in even more commits.
Then, finally, in a patch in the same series as the last fix above, the
documentation about this requirement was fixed in commit 55f39cf7551b
("merge: fix misleading pre-merge check documentation", 2018-06-30), and
we all lived happily ever after...
</quick summary>
Unfortunately, "ever after" apparently denotes a limited time and it
expired today. The merge-recursive rule to enforce that index matches
head was at the beginning of merge_trees() and would only trigger when
opt->call_depth was 0. Since merge_recursive() doesn't call
merge_trees() until after returning from recursing, this meant that the
check wasn't triggered by merge_recursive() until it had first finished
all the intermediate merges to create virtual merge bases. That is a
potentially HUGE amount of computation (and writing of intermediate
merge results into the .git/objects directory) before it errors out and
says, in effect, "Sorry, I can't do any merging because you have some
local changes that would be overwritten."
Trying to enforce that all of merge_trees(), merge_recursive(), and
merge_recursive_generic() checked the index == head condition earlier
resulted in a bunch of broken tests. It turns out that
merge_recursive() has code to drop and reload the cache while recursing
to create intermediate virtual merge bases, but unfortunately that code
runs even when no recursion is necessary. This unconditional dropping
and reloading of the cache masked a few bugs:
* builtin/merge-recursive.c: didn't even bother loading the index.
* builtin/stash.c: feels like a fake 'builtin' because it repeatedly
invokes git subprocesses all over the place, mixed with other
operations. In particular, invoking "git reset" will reset the
index on disk, but the parent process that invoked it won't
automatically have its in-memory index updated.
* t3030-merge-recursive.h: this test has always been broken in that it
didn't make sure to make index match head before running. But, it
didn't care about the index or even the merge result, just the
verbose output while running. While commit eddd1a411d93
("merge-recursive: enforce rule that index matches head before
merging", 2018-06-30) should have uncovered this broken test, it
used a test_must_fail wrapper around the merge-recursive call
because it was known that the merge resulted in a rename/rename
conflict. Thus, that fix only made this test fail for a different
reason, and since the index == head check didn't happen until after
coming all the way back out of the recursion, the testcase had
enough information to pass the one check that it did perform.
So, load the index in builtin/merge-recursive.c, reload the in-memory
index in builtin/stash.c, and modify the t3030 testcase to correctly
setup the index and make sure that the test fails in the expected way
(meaning it reports a rename/rename conflict). This makes sure that
all callers actually make the index match head. The next commit will
then enforce the condition that index matches head earlier so this
problem doesn't return in the future.

In commit 7ca56aa07619 ("merge-recursive: add a label for ancestor",
2010-03-20), a label was added for the '||||||' line to make it have
the more informative heading '|||||| merged common ancestors', with
the statement:
It would be nicer to use a more informative label. Perhaps someone
will provide one some day.
This chosen label was perfectly reasonable when recursiveness kicks in,
i.e. when there are multiple merge bases. (I can't think of a better
label in such cases.) But it is actually somewhat misleading when there
is a unique merge base or no merge base. Change this based on the
number of merge bases:
>=2: "merged common ancestors"
1: <abbreviated commit hash>
0: "<empty tree>"
Tests have also been added to check that we get the right ancestor name
for each of the three cases.
Also, since merge_recursive() and merge_trees() have polar opposite
pre-conditions for opt->ancestor, document merge_recursive()'s
pre-condition with an assertion. (An assertion was added to
merge_trees() already a few commits ago.) The differences in
pre-conditions stem from two factors: (1) merge_trees() does not recurse
and thus does not have multiple sub-merges to worry about -- each of
which would require a different value for opt->ancestor, (2)
merge_trees() is only passed trees rather than commits and thus cannot
internally guess as good of a label. Thus, while external callers of
merge_trees() are required to provide a non-NULL opt->ancestor,
merge_recursive() expects to set this value itself.

t1410.3 ("corrupt and checks") fails when run using dash versions
before 0.5.8, with a cryptic message:
mv: cannot stat '.git/objects//e84adb2704cbd49549e52169b4043871e13432': No such file or directory
The function generating that path:
test_oid_to_path () {
echo "${1%${1#??}}/${1#??}"
}
which is supposed to produce a result like
12/3456789....
But a dash bug[*] causes it to instead expand to
/3456789...
The stream of symbols that makes up this function is hard for humans
to follow, too. The complexity mostly comes from the repeated use of
the expression ${1#??} for the basename of the loose object. Use a
variable instead --- nowadays, the dialect of shell used by Git
permits local variables, so this is cheap.
An alternative way to work around [*] is to remove the double-quotes
around test_oid_to_path's return value. That makes the expression
easier for dash to read, but harder for humans. Let's prefer the
rephrasing that's helpful for humans, too.
Noticed by building on Ubuntu trusty, which uses dash 0.5.7.

Ever since commit 8c8e5bd6eb33 ("merge-recursive: switch directory
rename detection default", 2019-04-05), the default handling with
directory rename detection was to report a conflict and leave unstaged
entries in the index. However, when creating a virtual merge base in
the recursive case, we absolutely need a tree, and the only way a tree
can be written is if we have no unstaged entries -- otherwise we hit a
BUG().
There are a few fixes possible here which at least fix the BUG(), but
none of them seem optimal for other reasons; see the comments with the
new testcase 13e in t6043 for details (which testcase triggered a BUG()
prior to this patch). As such, just opt for a very conservative and
simple choice that is still relatively reasonable: have the recursive
case treat 'conflict' as 'false' for opt->detect_directory_renames.

In 1771be90 "commit-graph: merge commit-graph chains" (2019-06-18),
the method sort_and_scan_merged_commits() was added to merge the
commit lists of two commit-graph files in the incremental format.
Unfortunately, there was an off-by-one error in that method around
incrementing num_extra_edges, which leads to an incorrect offset
for the base graph chunk.
When we store an octopus merge in the commit-graph file, we store
the first parent in the normal place, but use the second parent
position to point into the "extra edges" chunk where the remaining
parents exist. This means we should be adding "num_parents - 1"
edges to this list, not "num_parents - 2". That is the basic error.
The reason this was not caught in the test suite is more subtle.
In 5324-split-commit-graph.sh, we test creating an octopus merge
and adding it to the tip of a commit-graph chain, then verify the
result. This _should_ have caught the problem, except that when
we load the commit-graph files we were overly careful to not fail
when the commit-graph chain does not match. This care was on
purpose to avoid race conditions as one process reads the chain
and another process modifies it. In such a case, the reading
process outputs the following message to stderr:
warning: commit-graph chain does not match
These warnings are output in the test suite, but ignored. By
checking the stderr of `git commit-graph verify` to include
the expected progress output, it will now catch this error.

Since 07b2c0eacac (config: learn the "onbranch:" includeIf condition,
2019-06-05), there is a potential catch-22 in the early config path: if
the `include.onbranch:` feature is used, Git assumes that the Git
directory has been initialized already. However, in the early config
code path that is not true.
One way to trigger this is to call the following commands in any
repository:
git config includeif.onbranch:refs/heads/master.path broken
git help -a
The symptom triggered by the `git help -a` invocation reads like this:
BUG: refs.c:1851: attempting to get main_ref_store outside of repository
Let's work around this, simply by ignoring the `includeif.onbranch:`
setting when parsing the config when the ref store has not been
initialized (yet).
Technically, there is a way to solve this properly: teach the refs
machinery to initialize the ref_store from a given gitdir/commondir pair
(which we _do_ have in the early config code path), and then use that in
`include_by_branch()`. This, however, is a pretty involved project, and
we're already in the feature freeze for Git v2.23.0.
Note: when calling above-mentioned two commands _outside_ of any Git
worktree (passing the `--global` flag to `git config`, as there is
obviously no repository config available), at the point when
`include_by_branch()` is called, `the_repository` is `NULL`, therefore
we have to be extra careful not to dereference it in that case.

Commit 7328482253 (repack: disable bitmaps-by-default if .keep files
exist, 2019-06-29) taught repack to prefer disabling bitmaps to
duplicating objects (unless bitmaps were asked for explicitly).
But there's an easier way to do this: if we keep passing the
--honor-pack-keep flag to pack-objects when auto-enabling bitmaps, then
pack-objects already makes the same decision (it will disable bitmaps
rather than duplicate). Better still, pack-objects can actually decide
to do so based not just on the presence of a .keep file, but on whether
that .keep file actually impacts the new pack we're making (so if we're
racing with a push or fetch, for example, their temporary .keep file
will not block us from generating bitmaps if they haven't yet updated
their refs).
And because repack uses the --write-bitmap-index-quiet flag, we don't
have to worry about pack-objects generating confusing warnings when it
does see a .keep file. We can confirm this by tweaking the .keep test to
check repack's stderr.

Depending on various config options, a full repack may not be able to
build a reachability bitmap index (e.g., if pack.packSizeLimit forces us
to write multiple packs). In these cases pack-objects may write a
warning to stderr.
Since 36eba0323d (repack: enable bitmaps by default on bare repos,
2019-03-14), we may generate these warnings even when the user did not
explicitly ask for bitmaps. This has two downsides:
- it can be confusing, if they don't know what bitmaps are
- a daemonized auto-gc will write this to its log file, and the
presence of the warning may suppress further auto-gc (until
gc.logExpiry has elapsed)
Let's have repack communicate to pack-objects that the choice to turn on
bitmaps was not made explicitly by the user, which in turn allows
pack-objects to suppress these warnings.

The iteration order of a hashmap is undefined, and may depend on things
like the exact set of items added, or the table has been grown or
shrunk. In the case of an oidmap, it even depends on endianness, because
we take the oid hash by casting sha1 bytes directly into an unsigned
int.
Let's sort the test-tool output from any hash iterators. In the case of
t0011, this is just future-proofing. But for t0016, it actually fixes a
reported failure on the big-endian s390 and nonstop ports.
I didn't bother to teach the helper functions to optionally sort output.
They are short enough that it's simpler to just repeat them inline for
the iteration tests than it is to add a --sort option.

A few tests printed 'errno' as an integer and compared with
hardcoded integers; this is obviously not portable.
A two things to note are:
- the string obtained by strerror() is not portable, and cannot be
used for the purpose of these tests.
- there unfortunately isn't a portable way to map error numbers to
error names.
As we only care about a few selected errors, just map the error
number to the name before emitting for comparison.
