8b214c2e9d clone: propagate object-format when cloning from void
A user could prepare an empty repository and set it to use SHA256 as
the object format.  The new repository created by "git clone" from
such a repository however would not record that it is expecting
objects in the same SHA256 format.  This works as expected if the
source repository is not empty.

Just like we started copying the name of the primary branch from the
remote repository even if it is unborn in 3d8314f8 (clone: propagate
empty remote HEAD even with other branches, 2022-07-07), lift the
code that records the object format out of the block executed only
when cloning from an instantiated repository, so that it works also
when cloning from an empty repository.

1a65b41b38 write-tree: integrate with sparse index
Update 'git write-tree' to allow using the sparse-index in memory
without expanding to a full one.

The recursive algorithm for update_one() was already updated in 2de37c5
(cache-tree: integrate with sparse directory entries, 2021-03-03) to
handle sparse directory entries in the index. Hence we can just set the
requires-full-index to false for "write-tree".

The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~96% execution time reduction for 'git
write-tree' using a sparse index:

git describe compares the index with the working tree when (and only

sparse-index in the series that led to 8d2c3732 (Merge branch

25bccb4b79 fetch: download bundles once, even with --all
When fetch.bundleURI is set, 'git fetch' downloads bundles from the
given bundle URI before fetching from the specified remote. However,
when using non-file remotes, 'git fetch --all' will launch 'git fetch'
subprocesses which then read fetch.bundleURI and fetch the bundle list
again. We do not expect the bundle list to have new information during
these multiple runs, so avoid these extra calls by un-setting
fetch.bundleURI in the subprocess arguments.

Be careful to skip fetching bundles for the empty bundle string.
Fetching bundles from the empty list presents some interesting test
failures.

92c7b3d473 t5563: prevent "ambiguous redirect"
When I ran this test using `TEST_SHELL_PATH=/bin/bash` in my Ubuntu
setup (where Bash is at version 5.0.17(1)-release), I was greeted with
this error message:

	./test-lib.sh: line 1072: $CHALLENGE: ambiguous redirect

This commit fixes that error by quoting the `CHALLENGE` variable (which
has as value a path containing spaces), and by avoiding to cuddle the
empty string parameter in the `printf` call with the redirect character
(in fact, the `printf ''>$CHALLENGE` is removed because the next line
overwrites the file anyway because it _also_ uses a single `>` to
redirect the output).

cc48ddd937 tests: skip test_eval_ in internal chain-lint
To check for broken &&-chains, we run "fail_117 && $1" as a test
snippet, and check the exit code. We use test_eval_ to do so, because
that's the way we run the actual test.

But we don't need any of its niceties, like "set -x" tracing. In fact,
they hinder us, because we have to explicitly disable them. So let's
skip that and use "eval" more directly, which is simpler. I had hoped it
would also be faster, but it doesn't seem to produce a measurable
improvement (probably because it's just running internal shell commands,
with no subshells or forks).

Note that there is one gotcha: even though we don't intend to run any of
the commands if the &&-chain is intact, an error like this:

   test_expect_success 'broken' '
	# this next line breaks the &&-chain
	true
	# and then this one is executed even by the linter
	return 1
   '

means we'll "return 1" from the eval, and thus from test_run_(). We
actually do notice this in test_expect_success, but only by saying "hey,
this test didn't say it was OK, so it must have failed", which is not
right (it should say "broken &&-chain").

We can handle this by calling test_eval_inner_() instead, which is our
trick for wrapping "return" in a test snippet. But to do that, we have
to push the trace code out of that inner function and into test_eval_().
This is arguably where it belonged in the first place, but it never
mattered because the "inner_" function had only one caller.

750b260411 tests: drop here-doc check from internal chain-linter
Commit 99a64e4b73 (tests: lint for run-away here-doc, 2017-03-22)
tweaked the chain-lint test to catch unclosed here-docs. It works by
adding an extra "echo" command after the test snippet, and checking that
it is run (if it gets swallowed by a here-doc, naturally it is not run).

The downside here is that we introduced an extra $() substitution, which
happens in a subshell. This has a measurable performance impact when
run for many tests.

The tradeoff in safety was undoubtedly worth it when 99a64e4b73 was
written. But since the external chainlint.pl learned to find these
recently, we can just rely on it. By switching back to a simpler
chain-lint, hyperfine reports a measurable speedup on t3070 (which has
1800 tests):

  'HEAD' ran

2b61c8dc88 tests: diagnose unclosed here-doc in chainlint.pl
An unclosed here-doc in a test is a problem, because it silently gobbles
up any remaining commands. Since 99a64e4b73 (tests: lint for run-away
here-doc, 2017-03-22) we detect this by piggy-backing on the internal
chainlint checker in test-lib.sh.

However, it would be nice to detect it in chainlint.pl, for a few
reasons:

  - the output from chainlint.pl is much nicer; it can show the exact
    spot of the error, rather than a vague "somewhere in this test you
    broke the &&-chain or had a bad here-doc" message.

  - the implementation in test-lib.sh runs for each test snippet. And
    since it requires a subshell, the extra cost is small but not zero.
    If chainlint.pl can reliably find the problem, we can optimize the
    test-lib.sh code.

The chainlint.pl code never intended to find here-doc problems. But
since it has to parse them anyway (to avoid reporting problems inside
here-docs), most of what we need is already there. We can detect the
problem when we fail to find the missing end-tag in swallow_heredocs().
The extra change in scan_heredoc_tag() stores the location of the start
of the here-doc, which lets us mark it as the source of the error in the
output (see the new tests for examples).

1686de55fa tests: replace chainlint subshell with a function
To test that we don't break the &&-chain, test-lib.sh does something
like:

   (exit 117) && $test_commands

and checks that the result is exit code 117. We don't care what that
initial command is, as long as it exits with a unique code. Using "exit"
works and is simple, but is a bit expensive since it requires a subshell
(to avoid exiting the whole script!). This isn't usually very
noticeable, but it can add up for scripts which have a large number of
tests.

Using "return" naively won't work here, because we'd return from the
function eval-ing the snippet (and it wouldn't find &&-chain breakages).
But if we further push that into its own function, it does exactly what

According to hyperfine, this produces a measurable improvement when
running t3070 (which has 1800 tests, all of them quite short):

7b6555ab8d tests: run internal chain-linter under "make test"
Since 69b9924b87 (t/Makefile: teach `make test` and `make prove` to run
chainlint.pl, 2022-09-01), we run a single chainlint.pl process for all
scripts, and then instruct each individual script to run with the
equivalent of --no-chain-lint, which tells them not to redundantly run
the chainlint script themselves.

However, this also disables the internal linter run within the shell by
eval-ing "(exit 117) && $1" and confirming we get code 117. In theory
the external linter produces a superset of complaints, and we don't need
the internal one anymore. However, we know there is at least one case
where they differ. A test like:

	test_expect_success 'should fail linter' '
		false &&
		sleep 2 &
		pid=$! &&
		kill $pid
	'

is buggy (it ignores the failure from "false", because it is
backgrounded along with the sleep). The internal linter catches this,
but the external one doesn't (and teaching it to do so is complicated[1]).
So not only does "make test" miss this problem, but it's doubly
confusing because running the script standalone does complain.

Let's teach the suppression in the Makefile to only turn off the
external linter (which we know is redundant, as it was already run) and
leave the internal one intact.

I've used a new environment variable to do this here, and intentionally
did not add a "--no-ext-chain-lint" option. This is an internal
optimization used by the Makefile, and not something that ordinary users
would need to tweak.

4a4d9706ad parse-options: drop parse_opt_unknown_cb()
This low-level callback was introduced in ce564eb1bd (parse-options:
add parse_opt_unknown_cb(), 2016-09-05) so that we could advertise
--indent-heuristic in git-blame's "-h" output, even though the option is
actually handled in parse_revision_opt(). We later stopped doing so in
44ae131e38 (builtin/blame.c: remove '--indent-heuristic' from usage
string, 2019-10-28).

This is a weird thing to do, and in the intervening years, we've never
used it again. Let's drop the helper in the name of simplicity.

126e3b3d2a t/helper: mark unused argv/argc arguments
Many test helper programs do not bother to look at argc or argv, because
they don't take any options. In a user-facing program, it's a good idea
to check for unexpected arguments and complain. But for a test helper,
it's not worth the trouble to enforce this.

But we do want to tell the compiler we're OK with ignoring them, to
silence -Wunused-parameter (and obviously we can't get rid of them,
since we have to conform to the usual cmd__foo() interface).

6ba21fa65c mark "argv" as unused when we check argc
A few commands don't take any options at all, and confirm this by
checking argc. After that they have no need to look at argv, but we're
still stuck with it by convention. Let's annotate these cases so that
the compiler doesn't complain with -Wunused-parameter.

Note that in scalar and get-tar-commit-id, we're forced to keep argv by
calling convention (the functions must match cmd_main() and builtin
cmd_foo() conventions, respectively). In diff, these are subcommand
modes that we call individually, so we _could_ just drop the argv
parameters entirely. But it's weird to pass argc without argv, and it
implies that the caller knows that the subcommands aren't interested in
further arguments. It's less confusing to just keep them and silence the
compiler warning.

5247b762d0 builtins: mark unused prefix parameters
All builtins receive a "prefix" parameter, but it is only useful if they
need to adjust filenames given by the user on the command line. For
builtins that do not even call parse_options(), they often don't look at
the prefix at all, and -Wunused-parameter complains.

Let's annotate those to silence the compiler warning. I gave a quick
scan of each of these cases, and it seems like they don't have anything
they _should_ be using the prefix for (i.e., there is no hidden bug that
we are missing). The only questionable cases I saw were:

  - in git-unpack-file, we create a tempfile which will always be at the
    root of the repository, even if the command is run from a subdir.
    Arguably this should be created in the subdir from which we're run
    (as we report the path only as a relative name). However, nobody has
    complained, and I'm hesitant to change something that is deep
    plumbing going back to April 2005 (though I think within our
    scripts, the sole caller in git-merge-one-file would be OK, as it
    moves to the toplevel itself).

  - in fetch-pack, local-filesystem remotes are taken as relative to the
    project root, not the current directory. So:

       git init server.git
       [...put stuff in server.git...]
       git init client.git
       cd client.git
       mkdir subdir
       cd subdir
       git fetch-pack ../../server.git ...

    won't work, as we quietly move to the top of the repository before
    interpreting the path (so "../server.git" would work). This is
    weird, but again, nobody has complained and this is how it has
    always worked. And this is how "git fetch" works, too. Plus it
    raises questions about how a configured remote like:

      git config remote.origin.url ../server.git

    should behave. I can certainly come up with a reasonable set of
    behavior, but it may not be worth stirring up complications in a
    plumbing tool.

So I've left the behavior untouched in both of those cases. If anybody
really wants to revisit them, it's easy enough to drop the UNUSED
marker. This commit is just about removing them as obstacles to turning
on -Wunused-parameter all the time.

7915691377 builtins: annotate always-empty prefix parameters
It's usually a bad idea for a builtin's cmd_foo() to ignore the "prefix"
argument it gets, as it needs to prepend that string when accessing any
paths given by the user.

But if a builtin does not ask for the git wrapper to run repository
setup (via the RUN_SETUP or RUN_SETUP_GENTLY flags), then we know the
prefix will always be NULL (it is adjusting for the chdir() done during
repo setup, but there cannot be one if we did not set up the repo). In
those cases it's OK to ignore "prefix", but it's worth annotating for a
few reasons:

  1. It serves as documentation to somebody reading the code about what
     we expect.

  2. If the flags in git.c ever change, the run-time assertion may help
     detect the problem (though only if the command is run from a
     subdirectory of the repository).

  3. It notes to the compiler that we are OK ignoring "prefix". In
     particular, this silences -Wunused-parameter. It _could_ also help
     the compiler generate better code (because it will know the prefix
     is NULL), but in practice this is quite unlikely to matter.

Note that I've only added this annotation to commands which triggered
-Wunused-parameter. It would be correct to add it to any builtin which
doesn't ask for RUN_SETUP, but most of the rest of them do the sensible
thing with "prefix" by passing it to parse_options(). So they're much
more likely to just work if they ever switched to RUN_SETUP, and aren't
worth annotating.

836c8ceb7a builtins: always pass prefix to parse_options()
Our builtins receive a "prefix" argument as part of their cmd_foo()
function. We should always pass this to parse_options() if we're calling
it, as it may be used for OPT_FILENAME() options.

In the cases here, there's no option that would use it, so we're not
fixing any bug. This is just future-proofing and setting a good example
(plus quelling some -Wunused-parameter warnings).

Note in the case of revert/cherry-pick, that we plumb the prefix through
to run_sequencer(), as those builtins are just thin wrappers around it.
