Commit 73c6de06af ("bisect: don't use invalid oid as rev when
starting") changes the behaviour of `git bisect` to consider invalid
oids as pathspecs again, as in the old shell implementation.
While that behaviour may be desirable, it can also cause confusion. For
example, while bisecting in a particular repo I encountered this:
$ git bisect start d93ff48803f0 v6.3
$
...which led to me sitting for a few moments, wondering why there's no
printout stating the first rev to check.
It turns out that the tag was actually "6.3", not "v6.3", and thus the
bisect was still silently started with only a bad rev, because
d93ff48803f0 was a valid oid and "v6.3" was silently considered to be a
pathspec.
While this behaviour may be desirable, it can be confusing, especially
with different repo conventions either using or not using "v" before
release names, or when a branch name or tag is simply misspelled on the
command line.
In order to avoid situations like this, make it more clear what we're
waiting for:
$ git bisect start d93ff48803f0 v6.3
status: waiting for good commit(s), bad commit known
We already have good output once the bisect process has begun in
earnest, so we don't need to do anything more there.

13092a91 (cocci: refactor common patterns to use xstrdup_or_null(),
2016-10-12) introduced a rule to rewrite this conditional call to
xstrdup(E) and an assignment to variable V:
- if (E)
- V = xstrdup(E);
into an unconditional call to xstrdup_or_null(E) and an assignment
to variable V:
+ V = xstrdup_or_null(E);
which is utterly bogus. The original code may already have an
acceptable value in V and the conditional assignment may be to
improve the value already in V with a copy of a better value E when
(and only when) E is not NULL.
The rewritten construct unconditionally discards the existing value
of V and replaces it with a copy of E, even when E is NULL, which
changes the meaning of the program.
By the way, if it were
-if (E && !V)
- V = xstrdup(E);
+V = xstrdup_or_null(E);
it would probably have been correct. But there is no existing code
that would have been improved by such a rule, so let's just remove
the bogus one without replacing with the more specific one.

git format-patch only sets no_free when --output is given, causing it to
forget pathspecs after the first commit. Set no_free unconditionally
instead.
The existing test was unable to detect this breakage because it checks
stderr for the absence of a certain string, but format-patch writes to
stdout. Also the test was not checking the case of one commit modifying
multiple files and a pathspec limiting the diff. Replace it with a more

This only surfaced as a regression after 2.36 release, but the
breakage was already there with us for at least a year.
e900d494 (diff: add an API for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11)
introduced a mechanism to delay freeing resources held in
diff_options struct that need to be kept as long as the struct will
be reused to compute diff. "git log -p" was taught to utilize the
mechanism but it was done with an incorrect assumption that the
underlying helper function, cmd_log_walk(), is called only once,
and it is OK to do the freeing at the end of it.
Alas, for "git show A B", the function is called once for each
commit given, so it is not OK to free the resources until we finish
calling it for all the commits given from the command line.
During 2.36 release cycle, we started clearing the <pathspec> as
part of this freeing, which made the bug a lot more visible.
Fix this breakage by tweaking how cmd_log_walk() frees the resources
at the end and using a variant of it that does not immediately free
the resources to show each commit object from the command line in
"git show".
Protect the fix with a few new tests.

The .warn_if_uninitialized member was introduced by 48308681
(git submodule update: have a dedicated helper for cloning,
2016-02-29) to submodule_update_clone struct and initialized to
false. When c9911c93 (submodule--helper: teach update_data more
options, 2022-03-15) moved it to update_data struct, it started
to initialize it to true but this change was not explained in
its log message.
The member is set to true only when pathspec was given, and is
used when a submodule that matched the pathspec is found
uninitialized to give diagnostic message. "submodule update"
without pathspec is supposed to iterate over all submodules
(i.e. without pathspec limitation) and update only the
initialized submodules, and finding uninitialized submodules
during the iteration is a totally expected and normal thing that
should not be warned.

This only surfaced as a regression after 2.36 release, but the
breakage was already there with us for at least a year.
The diff_free() call is to be used after we completely finished with
a diffopt structure. After "git diff A B" finishes producing
output, calling it before process exit is fine. But there are
commands that prepares diff_options struct once, compares two sets
of paths, releases resources that were used to do the comparison,
then reuses the same diff_option struct to go on to compare the next
two sets of paths, like "git log -p".
After "git log -p" finishes showing a single commit, calling it
before it goes on to the next commit is NOT fine. There is a
mechanism, the .no_free member in diff_options struct, to help "git
log" to avoid calling diff_free() after showing each commit and
instead call it just one. When the mechanism was introduced in
e900d494 (diff: add an API for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11),
however, we forgot to do the same to "diff-tree --stdin", which *is*
a moral equivalent to "git log".
During 2.36 release cycle, we started clearing the pathspec in
diff_free(), so programs like gitk that runs
git diff-tree --stdin -- <pathspec>
downstream of a pipe, processing one commit after another, started
showing irrelevant comparison outside the given <pathspec> from the
second commit. The same commit, by forgetting to teach the .no_free
mechanism, broke "diff-tree --stdin -I<regexp>" and nobody noticed
it for over a year, presumably because it is so seldom used an
option.
But <pathspec> is a different story. The breakage was very
prominently visible and was reported immediately after 2.36 was
released.
Fix this breakage by mimicking how "git log" utilizes the .no_free
member so that "diff-tree --stdin" behaves more similarly to "log".
Protect the fix with a few new tests.

This reverts commit 2d53975488.
3656f84278 (name-rev: prefer shorter names over following merges,
2021-12-04) broke the assumption of 2d53975488 (name-rev: release unused
name strings, 2020-02-04) that a better name for a child is a better
name for all of its ancestors as well, because it added a penalty for
generation > 0. This leads to strings being free(3)'d that are still
needed.
079f970971 (name-rev: sort tip names before applying, 2020-02-05)
already reduced the number of free(3) calls for the use case that
motivated the original patch (name-rev --all in the Chromium repository)
from ca. 44000 to 5, and 3656f84278 eliminated even those few. So this
revert won't affect name-rev's performance on that particular repo.

Fix a regression in 707d2f2fe8 (CI: use "$runs_on_pool", not
"$jobname" to select packages & config, 2021-11-23).
In that commit I changed CC=gcc from CC=gcc-9, but on OSX the "gcc" in
$PATH points to clang, we need to use gcc-9 instead. Likewise for the
linux-gcc job CC=gcc-8 was changed to the implicit CC=gcc, which would
select GCC 9.4.0 instead of GCC 8.4.0.
Furthermore in 25715419bf (CI: don't run "make test" twice in one
job, 2021-11-23) when the "linux-TEST-vars" job was split off from
"linux-gcc" the "cc_package: gcc-8" line was copied along with
it, so its "cc_package" line wasn't working as intended either.
As a table, this is what's changed by this commit, i.e. it only
affects the linux-gcc, linux-TEST-vars and osx-gcc jobs:

Fedora is used as part of the CI, and therefore that release will trigger
failures, unless the version of the image used is locked to an older
release, as an alternative.
Restricting the flag to the affected source file, as well as implementing
an independent facility to track these workarounds was specifically punted
to minimize the risk of introducing problems so close to a release.
This change should be reverted once the underlying gcc bug is solved and
which should be visible by NOT triggering a warning, otherwise.

This reverts commit 2a0cafd464,
as it expects a working "a ref deletion must produce a single
transaction, not one for loose and another for packed" topic,
which we do not have.
With the addition of the safe.directory in 8959555ce
(setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level directory,
2022-03-02) released in v2.35.2, we are receiving feedback from a
variety of users about the feature.
Some users have a very large list of shared repositories and find it
cumbersome to add this config for every one of them.
In a more difficult case, certain workflows involve running Git commands
within containers. The container boundary prevents any global or system
config from communicating `safe.directory` values from the host into the
container. Further, the container almost always runs as a different user
than the owner of the directory in the host.
To simplify the reactions necessary for these users, extend the
definition of the safe.directory config value to include a possible '*'
value. This value implies that all directories are safe, providing a
single setting to opt-out of this protection.
Note that an empty assignment of safe.directory clears all previous
values, and this is already the case with the "if (!value || !*value)"
condition.
