16b0bb99ea am: fix broken email with --committer-date-is-author-date
Commit e8cbe2118a (am: stop exporting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE, 2020-08-17)
rewrote the code for setting the committer date to use fmt_ident(),
rather than setting an environment variable and letting commit_tree()
handle it. But it introduced two bugs:

  - we use the author email string instead of the committer email

  - when parsing the committer ident, we used the wrong variable to
    compute the length of the email, resulting in it always being a
    zero-length string

This commit fixes both, which causes our test of this option via the
rebase "apply" backend to now succeed.

3f018ec716 fast-import: fix over-allocation of marks storage
Fast-import stores its marks in a trie-like structure made of mark_set
structs. Each struct has a fixed size (1024). If our id number is too
large to fit in the struct, then we allocate a new struct which shifts
the id number by 10 bits. Our original struct becomes a child node
of this new layer, and the new struct becomes the top level of the trie.

This scheme was broken by ddddf8d7e2 (fast-import: permit reading
multiple marks files, 2020-02-22). Before then, we had a top-level
"marks" pointer, and the push-down worked by assigning the new top-level
struct to "marks". But after that commit, insert_mark() takes a pointer
to the mark_set, rather than using the global "marks". It continued to
assign to the global "marks" variable during the push down, which was
wrong for two reasons:

  - we added a call in option_rewrite_submodules() which uses a separate
    mark set; pushing down on "marks" is outright wrong here. We'd
    corrupt the "marks" set, and we'd fail to correctly store any
    submodule mappings with an id over 1024.

  - the other callers passed "marks", but the push-down was still wrong.
    In read_mark_file(), we take the pointer to the mark_set as a
    parameter. So even though insert_mark() was updating the global
    "marks", the local pointer we had in read_mark_file() was not
    updated. As a result, we'd add a new level when needed, but then the
    next call to insert_mark() wouldn't see it! It would then allocate a
    new layer, which would also not be seen, and so on. Lookups for the
    lost layers obviously wouldn't work, but before we even hit any
    lookup stage, we'd generally run out of memory and die.

Our tests didn't notice either of these cases because they didn't have
enough marks to trigger the push-down behavior. The new tests in t9304
cover both cases (and fail without this patch).

We can solve the problem by having insert_mark() take a pointer-to-pointer
of the top-level of the set. Then our push down can assign to it in a
way that the caller actually sees. Note the subtle reordering in
option_rewrite_submodules(). Our call to read_mark_file() may modify our
top-level set pointer, so we have to wait until after it returns to
assign its value into the string_list.

deref_tag() can return NULL.  Exit gracefully in that case instead
of blindly dereferencing the return value.

.name shouldn't ever be NULL, but grep_object() handles that case
explicitly, so let's be defensive here as well and show the broken
object's ID if it happens to lack a name after all.

c57b3367be worktree: teach list to annotate locked worktree
The "git worktree list" shows the absolute path to the working tree,
the commit that is checked out and the name of the branch. It is not
immediately obvious which of the worktrees, if any, are locked.

"git worktree remove" refuses to remove a locked worktree with
an error message. If "git worktree list" told which worktrees
are locked in its output, the user would not even attempt to
remove such a worktree, or would realize that
"git worktree remove -f -f <path>" is required.

Teach "git worktree list" to append "locked" to its output.
The output from the command becomes like so:

    $ git worktree list
    /path/to/main             abc123 [master]
    /path/to/worktree         456def (detached HEAD)
    /path/to/locked-worktree  123abc (detached HEAD) locked

d334107c5d maintenance: core.commitGraph=false prevents writes
Recently, a user had an issue due to combining
fetch.writeCommitGraph=true with core.commitGraph=false. The root bug
has been resolved by preventing commit-graph writes when
core.commitGraph is disabled. This happens inside the 'git commit-graph
write' command, but we can be more aware of this situation and prevent
that process from ever starting in the 'commit-graph' maintenance task.

8f801804be maintenance: test commit-graph auto condition
The auto condition for the commit-graph maintenance task walks refs
looking for commits that are not in the commit-graph file. This was
added in 4ddc79b2 (maintenance: add auto condition for commit-graph
task, 2020-09-17) but was left untested.

The initial goal of this change was to demonstrate the feature works
properly by adding tests. However, there was an off-by-one error that
caused the basic tests around maintenance.commit-graph.auto=1 to fail
when it should work.

The subtlety is that if a ref tip is not in the commit-graph, then we
were not adding that to the total count. In the test, we see that we
have only added one commit since our last commit-graph write, so the
auto condition would say there is nothing to do.

The fix is simple: add the check for the commit-graph position to see
that the tip is not in the commit-graph file before starting our walk.
Since this happens before adding to the DFS stack, we do not need to
clear our (currently empty) commit list.

This does add some extra complexity for the test, because we also want
to verify that the walk along the parents actually does some work. This
means we need to add at least two commits in a row without writing the
commit-graph. However, we also need to make sure no additional refs are
pointing to the middle of this list or else the for_each_ref() in
should_write_commit_graph() might visit these commits as tips instead of
doing a DFS walk. Hence, the last two commits are added with "git
commit" instead of "test_commit".

bebe171947 index-pack: drop type_cas mutex
The type_cas lock lost all of its callers in f08cbf60fe (index-pack:
make quantum of work smaller, 2020-09-08), so we can safely delete it.
The compiler didn't alert us that the variable became unused, because we
still call pthread_mutex_init() and pthread_mutex_destroy() on it.

It's worth considering also whether that commit was in error to remove
the use of the lock. Why don't we need it now, if we did before, as
described in ab791dd138 (index-pack: fix race condition with duplicate
bases, 2014-08-29)? I think the answer is that we now look at and assign
the child_obj->real_type field in the main thread while holding the
work_lock(). So we don't have to worry about racing with the worker
threads.

cea69151a4 index-pack: restore "resolving deltas" progress meter
Commit f08cbf60fe (index-pack: make quantum of work smaller, 2020-09-08)
refactored the main loop in threaded_second_pass(), but also deleted the
call to display_progress() at the top of the loop. This means that users
typically see no progress at all during the delta resolution phase (and
for large repositories, Git appears to hang).

This looks like an accident that was unrelated to the intended change of
that commit, since we continue to update nr_resolved_deltas in
resolve_delta(). Let's restore the call to get that progress back.

We'll also add a test that confirms we generate the expected progress.
This isn't perfect, as it wouldn't catch a bug where progress was
delayed to the end. That was probably possible to trigger when receiving
a thin pack, because we'd eventually call display_progress() from
fix_unresolved_deltas(), but only once after doing all the work.
However, since our test case generates a complete pack, it reliably
demonstrates this particular bug and its fix. And we can't do better
without making the test racy.

This happens because checkout passes the literal argument (in the

revs.

Fix this by using the hex of the found commit instead of the given name.
Note that "HEAD" is handled specially in run_add_interactive() so it's
explicitly not changed.

3b990aa645 push: parse and set flag for "--force-if-includes"
The previous commit added the necessary machinery to implement the
"--force-if-includes" protection, when "--force-with-lease" is used
without giving exact object the remote still ought to have. Surface
the feature by adding a command line option and a configuration
variable to enable it.

 - Add a flag: "TRANSPORT_PUSH_FORCE_IF_INCLUDES" to indicate that the
   new option was passed from the command line of via configuration
   settings; update command line and configuration parsers to set the
   new flag accordingly.

 - Introduce a new configuration option "push.useForceIfIncludes", which
   is equivalent to setting "--force-if-includes" in the command line.

 - Update "remote-curl" to recognize and pass this option to "send-pack"
   when enabled.

 - Update "advise" to catch the reject reason "REJECT_REF_NEEDS_UPDATE",
   set when the ref status is "REF_STATUS_REJECT_REMOTE_UPDATED" and

    * When used with "--force-with-lease", and if the expected commit
      on the remote side is specified as an argument.

99a1f9ae10 push: add reflog check for "--force-if-includes"
Add a check to verify if the remote-tracking ref of the local branch
is reachable from one of its "reflog" entries.

The check iterates through the local ref's reflog to see if there
is an entry for the remote-tracking ref and collecting any commits
that are seen, into a list; the iteration stops if an entry in the
reflog matches the remote ref or if the entry timestamp is older
the latest entry of the remote ref's "reflog". If there wasn't an
entry found for the remote ref, "in_merge_bases_many()" is called
to check if it is reachable from the list of collected commits.

When a local branch that is based on a remote ref, has been rewound
and is to be force pushed on the remote, "--force-if-includes" runs
a check that ensures any updates to the remote-tracking ref that may
have happened (by push from another repository) in-between the time
of the last update to the local branch (via "git-pull", for instance)
and right before the time of push, have been integrated locally
before allowing a forced update.

If the new option is passed without specifying "--force-with-lease",
or specified along with "--force-with-lease=<refname>:<expect>" it
is a "no-op".

7efba5fa39 format-patch: teach format.useAutoBase "whenAble" option
The format.useAutoBase configuration option exists to allow users to
enable '--base=auto' for format-patch by default.

This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures
when attempting to format an ancient patch:

    $ git format-patch -1 <an old commit>
    fatal: base commit shouldn't be in revision list

This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious
that the user requested a --base (since this was in the configuration,
not on the command line).

We do want --base=auto to fail when it cannot provide a suitable base,
as it would be equally confusing if a formatted patch did not include
the base information when it was requested.

Teach format.useAutoBase a new mode, "whenAble". This mode will cause
format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can. However,
if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue
formatting the patch without a base commit.

In order to avoid making yet another branch name unusable with --base,
do not teach --base=whenAble or --base=whenable.

Instead, refactor the base_commit option to use a callback, and rely on
the global configuration variable auto_base.

This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit
generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too
valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be
immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit.
This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to
continue the format.

Add tests to cover the new mode of operation for --base.

de9ed3ef37 clone: allow configurable default for -o/--origin
While the default remote name of "origin" can be changed at clone-time
with `git clone`'s `--origin` option, it was previously not possible
to specify a default value for the name of that remote.  Add support for
a new `clone.defaultRemoteName` config, with the newly-created remote
name resolved in priority order:

1. (Highest priority) A remote name passed directly to `git clone -o`
2. A `clone.defaultRemoteName=new_name` in config `git clone -c`
3. A `clone.defaultRemoteName` value set in `/path/to/template/config`,
   where `--template=/path/to/template` is provided
4. A `clone.defaultRemoteName` value set in a non-template config file
5. The default value of `origin`

ebe7e28a36 clone: validate --origin option before use
Providing a bad origin name to `git clone` currently reports an
'invalid refspec' error instead of a more explicit message explaining
that the `--origin` option was malformed.  This behavior dates back to
since 8434c2f1 (Build in clone, 2008-04-27).  Reintroduce
validation for the provided `--origin` option, but notably _don't_
include a multi-level check (e.g. "foo/bar") that was present in the
original `git-clone.sh`.  `git remote` allows multi-level remote names
since at least 46220ca100 (remote.c: Fix overtight refspec validation,
2008-03-20), so that appears to be the desired behavior.

c0192df630 refspec: add support for negative refspecs
Both fetch and push support pattern refspecs which allow fetching or
pushing references that match a specific pattern. Because these patterns
are globs, they have somewhat limited ability to express more complex
situations.

For example, suppose you wish to fetch all branches from a remote except
for a specific one. To allow this, you must setup a set of refspecs
which match only the branches you want. Because refspecs are either
explicit name matches, or simple globs, many patterns cannot be
expressed.

Add support for a new type of refspec, referred to as "negative"
refspecs. These are prefixed with a '^' and mean "exclude any ref
matching this refspec". They can only have one "side" which always
refers to the source. During a fetch, this refers to the name of the ref
on the remote. During a push, this refers to the name of the ref on the
local side.

With negative refspecs, users can express more complex patterns. For
example:

 git fetch origin refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* ^refs/heads/dontwant

will fetch all branches on origin into remotes/origin, but will exclude
fetching the branch named dontwant.

Refspecs today are commutative, meaning that order doesn't expressly
matter. Rather than forcing an implied order, negative refspecs will
always be applied last. That is, in order to match, a ref must match at
least one positive refspec, and match none of the negative refspecs.
This is similar to how negative pathspecs work.

75d3bee157 sparse-checkout: fill in some options boilerplate
The sparse-checkout passes along argv and argc to its sub-command helper
functions. Many of these sub-commands do not yet take any command-line
options, and ignore those parameters.

Let's instead add empty option lists and make sure we call
parse_options(). That will give a useful error message for something
like:

  git sparse-checkout list --nonsense

which currently just silently ignores the unknown option.

As a bonus, it also silences some -Wunused-parameter warnings.

In the spirit of 517fe807d6 (assert NOARG/NONEG behavior of
parse-options callbacks, 2018-11-05), let's cover some parse-options
callbacks which expect to be used with PARSE_OPT_NONEG but don't
explicitly assert that this is the case. These callbacks are all used
correctly in the current code, but this will help document their
expectations and future-proof the code.

As a bonus, it also silences -Wunused-parameters (these were added since
the initial sweep of 517fe807d6, and we can't yet turn on
-Wunused-parameters to remind people because it has too many existing
false positives).

424e28fcad env--helper: write to opt->value in parseopt helper
We use OPT_CALLBACK_F() to call the option_parse_type() callback,
passing it the address of "cmdmode" as the value to write to. But the
callback doesn't look at opt->value at all, and instead writes to a
global variable.

This works out because that's the same global variable we happen to pass
in, but it's rather confusing.  Let's use the passed-in value instead.
We'll also make "cmdmode" a local variable of the main function,
ensuring we can't make the same mistake again.

e885a84f1b drop unused argc parameters
Many functions take an argv/argc pair, but never actually look at argc.
This makes it useless at best (we use the NULL sentinel in argv to find
the end of the array), and misleading at worst (what happens if the argc
count does not match the argv NULL?).

In each of these instances, the argv NULL does match the argc count, so
there are no bugs here. But let's tighten the interfaces to make it
harder to get wrong (and to reduce some -Wunused-parameter complaints).
