Extract a routine to add all objects whose object ID's first byte is
`cur_fanout` from an existing MIDX.
This function will only be called once, so extracting it is purely
cosmetic to improve the readability of `get_sorted_entries()` (its sole
caller) below.
The functionality is unchanged in this commit.

To build up a list of objects (along with their packs, and the offsets
within those packs that each object appears at), the MIDX code
implements `get_sorted_entries()` which builds up a list of candidates,
sorts them, and then removes duplicate entries.
To do this, it keeps an array of `pack_midx_entry` structures that it
builds up once for each fanout level (ie., for all possible values of
the first byte of each object's ID).
This array is a function-local variable of `get_sorted_entries()`. Since
it uses the ALLOC_GROW() macro, having the `alloc_fanout` variable also
be local to that function, and only modified within that function is
convenient.
However, subsequent changes will extract the two ways this array is
filled (from a pack at some fanout value, and from an existing MIDX at
some fanout value) into separate functions. Instead of passing around
pointers to the entries array, along with `nr_fanout` and
`alloc_fanout`, encapsulate these three into a structure instead. Then
pass around a pointer to this structure instead.
This patch does not yet extract the above two functions, but sets us up
to begin doing so in the following commit. For now, the implementation
of get_sorted_entries() is only modified to replace `entries_by_fanout`
with `fanout.entries`, `nr_fanout` with `fanout.nr`, and so on.

The midx_bitmap_partial_tests() function is responsible for setting up a
state where some (but not all) packs in the repository are covered by a
MIDX (and bitmap).
This function has redirected the `git multi-pack-index write --bitmap`'s
stderr to a file "err" since its introduction back in c51f5a6437 (t5326:
test multi-pack bitmap behavior, 2021-08-31).
This was likely a stray change left over from a slightly different
version of this test, since the file "err" is never read after being
written. This leads to confusingly-missing output, especially when the
contents of stderr are important.
Resolve this confusion by avoiding silencing stderr in this case.

It is possible to generate a corrupt MIDX bitmap when certain conditions
are met. This happens when the preferred pack "P" changes to one (say,
"Q") that:
- "Q" has objects included in an existing MIDX,
- but "Q" is different than "P",
- and "Q" and "P" have some objects in common
When this is the case, not all objects from "Q" will be selected from
"Q" (ie., the generated MIDX will represent them as coming from a
different pack), despite "Q" being preferred.
This is an invariant violation, since all objects contained in the
MIDX's preferred pack are supposed to originate from the preferred pack.
In other words, all duplicate objects are resolved in favor of the copy
that comes from the MIDX's preferred pack, if any.
This violation results in a corrupt object order, which cannot be
interpreted by the pack-bitmap code, leading to broken clones and other
defects.
This test demonstrates the above problem by constructing a minimal
reproduction, and showing that the final `git clone` invocation fails.
The reproduction is mostly straightforward, except that the new pack
generated between MIDX writes (which is necessary in order to prevent
that operation from being a noop) must sort ahead of all existing packs
in order to prevent a different pack (neither "P" nor "Q") from
appearing as preferred (meaning all its objects appear in order at the
beginning of the pseudo-pack order).
Subsequent commits will first refactor the midx.c::get_sorted_entries()
function, and then fix this bug.

Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected
and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a
contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when
the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last
command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command
which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within
loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

This test wants to verify that `git blame` errors out when asked to
blame a file _not_ in the sparse checkout. However, the very first file
it asks to blame _is_ present in the checkout, thus `test_must_fail git
blame $file` gives an unexpected result (the "blame" succeeds). This
problem went unnoticed because the test invokes `test_must_fail git
blame $file` in loop but forgets to break out of the loop early upon
failure, thus the failure gets swallowed.
Fix the test by having it not ask to blame a file present in the sparse
checkout, and instead only blame files not present, as intended. While
at it, also add the missing `|| return 1` which allowed this bug to go
unnoticed.

The breaks in the &&-chain in this test went unnoticed because the

bodies of compound statements, such as `if`, `for`, `while`, `case`,

The entry point to the patience-diff algorithm takes two mmfile_t
structs with the original file contents, but it doesn't actually do
anything useful with them. This is similar to the case recently cleaned
up in the histogram code via f1d019071e (xdiff: drop unused mmfile
parameters from xdl_do_histogram_diff(), 2022-08-19), but there's a bit
more subtlety going on.
We pass them into the recursive patience_diff(), which in turn passes
them into fill_hashmap(), which stuffs the pointers into a struct. But
the only thing which reads the struct fields is our recursion into
patience_diff()!
So it's unlikely that something like -Wunused-parameter could find this
case: it would have to detect the circular dependency caused by the
recursion (not to mention tracing across struct field assignments).
But once found, it's easy to have the compiler confirm what's going on:
1. Drop the "file1" and "file2" fields from the hashmap struct
definition. Remove the assignments in fill_hashmap(), and
temporarily substitute NULL in the recursive call to
patience_diff(). Compiling shows that no other code touched those
fields.
2. Now fill_hashmap() will trigger -Wunused-parameter. Drop "file1"
and "file2" from its definition and callsite.
3. Now patience_diff() will trigger -Wunused-parameter. Drop them
there, too. One of the callsites is the recursion with our
NULL values, so those temporary values go away.
4. Now xdl_do_patience_diff() will trigger -Wunused-parameter. Drop
them there. And we're done.

Traditionally, reflog messages were never translated, in particular not

Due to the switch of more parts of git to the sequencer, old changes in
the sequencer code may lead to recent changes in git's behaviour. E.g.:
c28cbc5ea6 ("sequencer: mark action_name() for translation", 2016-10-21)
marked several uses of `action_name()` for translation. Recently, this
lead to a partially translated reflog:
`rebase: fast-forward` is translated (e.g. in de to `Rebase: Vorspulen`)
whereas other reflog entries such as `rebase (pick):` remain
untranslated as they should be.
Change the relevant line in the sequencer so that this reflog entry
remains untranslated, as well.

In preparation for compiling with -Wunused-parameter, we'd like to be
able to annotate some function parameters as false positives (e.g.,
parameters which must exist to conform to a callback interface).
Ideally our annotation will:
- be portable, turning into nothing on platforms which don't support
it
- be easy to read, without looking too syntactically odd or taking
attention away from the rest of the parameters
- help us notice when a parameter marked as unused is actually used,
which keeps our annotations accurate. In theory a compiler could
tell us this easily, but gcc has no such warning. Clang has
-Wused-but-marked-unused, but it triggers false positives with our
MAYBE_UNUSED annotation (e.g., for commit-slab functions)
This patch introduces an UNUSED() macro which takes the parameter name
as an argument. That lets us tweak the name in such a way that we'll
notice if somebody tries to use it. It looks like this in use:
int some_ref_cb(const char *refname,
const struct object_id *UNUSED(oid),
int UNUSED(flags),
void *UNUSED(data))
{
printf("got refname %s", refname);
return 0;
}
Because the unused parameter names are rewritten behind the scenes to
UNUSED_oid, etc, adding code like:
printf("oid is %s", oid_to_hex(oid));
will fail compilation with "oid undeclared". Sadly, the "did you mean"
feature of modern compilers is not generally smart enough to suggest the
"unused" name. If we used a very short prefix like U_oid, that does
convince gcc to say "did you mean", but since the "U_" in the suggestion
isn't much of a hint, it doesn't really help. In practice, a look at the
function definition usually makes the problem pretty obvious.
Note that we have to put the definition of UNUSED early in
git-compat-util.h, because it will eventually be used for some compat
functions themselves (both directly here and in mingw.h).

Several Git commands have subcommands to implement mutually exclusive
"operation modes", and they usually parse their subcommand argument
with a bunch of if-else if statements.
Teach parse-options to handle subcommands as well, which will result
in shorter and simpler code with consistent error handling and error
messages on unknown or missing subcommand, and it will also make
possible for our Bash completion script to handle subcommands
programmatically.
The approach is guided by the following observations:
- Most subcommands [1] are implemented in dedicated functions, and
most of those functions [2] either have a signature matching the
'int cmd_foo(int argc, const char **argc, const char *prefix)'
signature of builtin commands or can be trivially converted to
that signature, because they miss only that last prefix parameter
or have no parameters at all.
- Subcommand arguments only have long form, and they have no double
dash prefix, no negated form, and no description, and they don't
take any arguments, and can't be abbreviated.
- There must be exactly one subcommand among the arguments, or zero
if the command has a default operation mode.
- All arguments following the subcommand are considered to be
arguments of the subcommand, and, conversely, arguments meant for
the subcommand may not preceed the subcommand.
So in the end subcommand declaration and parsing would look something
like this:
parse_opt_subcommand_fn *fn = NULL;
struct option builtin_commit_graph_options[] = {
OPT_STRING(0, "object-dir", &opts.obj_dir, N_("dir"),
N_("the object directory to store the graph")),
OPT_SUBCOMMAND("verify", &fn, graph_verify),
OPT_SUBCOMMAND("write", &fn, graph_write),
OPT_END(),
};
argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, options,
builtin_commit_graph_usage, 0);
return fn(argc, argv, prefix);
Here each OPT_SUBCOMMAND specifies the name of the subcommand and the
function implementing it, and the address of the same 'fn' subcommand
function pointer. parse_options() then processes the arguments until
it finds the first argument matching one of the subcommands, sets 'fn'
to the function associated with that subcommand, and returns, leaving
the rest of the arguments unprocessed. If none of the listed
subcommands is found among the arguments, parse_options() will show
usage and abort.
If a command has a default operation mode, 'fn' should be initialized
to the function implementing that mode, and parse_options() should be
invoked with the PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag. In this case
parse_options() won't error out when not finding any subcommands, but
will return leaving 'fn' unchanged. Note that if that default
operation mode has any --options, then the PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT
flag is necessary as well (otherwise parse_options() would error out
upon seeing the unknown option meant to the default operation mode).
Some thoughts about the implementation:
- The same pointer to 'fn' must be specified as 'value' for each
OPT_SUBCOMMAND, because there can be only one set of mutually
exclusive subcommands; parse_options() will BUG() otherwise.
There are other ways to tell parse_options() where to put the
function associated with the subcommand given on the command line,
but I didn't like them:
- Change parse_options()'s signature by adding a pointer to
subcommand function to be set to the function associated with
the given subcommand, affecting all callsites, even those that
don't have subcommands.
- Introduce a specific parse_options_and_subcommand() variant
with that extra funcion parameter.
- I decided against automatically calling the subcommand function
from within parse_options(), because:
- There are commands that have to perform additional actions
after option parsing but before calling the function
implementing the specified subcommand.
- The return code of the subcommand is usually the return code
of the git command, but preserving the return code of the
automatically called subcommand function would have made the
API awkward.
- Also add a OPT_SUBCOMMAND_F() variant to allow specifying an
option flag: we have two subcommands that are purposefully
excluded from completion ('git remote rm' and 'git stash save'),
so they'll have to be specified with the PARSE_OPT_NOCOMPLETE
flag.
- Some of the 'parse_opt_flags' don't make sense with subcommands,
and using them is probably just an oversight or misunderstanding.
Therefore parse_options() will BUG() when invoked with any of the
following flags while the options array contains at least one
OPT_SUBCOMMAND:
- PARSE_OPT_KEEP_DASHDASH: parse_options() stops parsing
arguments when encountering a "--" argument, so it doesn't
make sense to expect and keep one before a subcommand, because
it would prevent the parsing of the subcommand.
However, this flag is allowed in combination with the
PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag, because the double dash
might be meaningful for the command's default operation mode,
e.g. to disambiguate refs and pathspecs.
- PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION: As its name suggests, this flag
tells parse_options() to stop as soon as it encouners a
non-option argument, but subcommands are by definition not
options... so how could they be parsed, then?!
- PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN: This flag can be used to collect any
unknown --options and then pass them to a different command or
subsystem. Surely if a command has subcommands, then this
functionality should rather be delegated to one of those
subcommands, and not performed by the command itself.
However, this flag is allowed in combination with the
PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag, making possible to pass
--options to the default operation mode.
- If the command with subcommands has a default operation mode, then
all arguments to the command must preceed the arguments of the
subcommand.
AFAICT we don't have any commands where this makes a difference,
because in those commands either only the command accepts any
arguments ('notes' and 'remote'), or only the default subcommand
('reflog' and 'stash'), but never both.
- The 'argv' array passed to subcommand functions currently starts
with the name of the subcommand. Keep this behavior. AFAICT no
subcommand functions depend on the actual content of 'argv[0]',
but the parse_options() call handling their options expects that
the options start at argv[1].
- To support handling subcommands programmatically in our Bash
completion script, 'git cmd --git-completion-helper' will now list
both subcommands and regular --options, if any. This means that
the completion script will have to separate subcommands (i.e.
words without a double dash prefix) from --options on its own, but
that's rather easy to do, and it's not much work either, because
the number of subcommands a command might have is rather low, and
those commands accept only a single --option or none at all. An
alternative would be to introduce a separate option that lists
only subcommands, but then the completion script would need not
one but two git invocations and command substitutions for commands
with subcommands.
Note that this change doesn't affect the behavior of our Bash
completion script, because when completing the --option of a
command with subcommands, e.g. for 'git notes --<TAB>', then all
subcommands will be filtered out anyway, as none of them will
match the word to be completed starting with that double dash
prefix.
[1] Except 'git rerere', because many of its subcommands are
implemented in the bodies of the if-else if statements parsing the
command's subcommand argument.
[2] Except 'credential', 'credential-store' and 'fsmonitor--daemon',
because some of the functions implementing their subcommands take
special parameters.

The output of 'git <cmd> --git-completion-helper' always starts with a
space, e.g.:
$ git config --git-completion-helper
--global --system --local [...]
This doesn't matter for the completion script, because field splitting
discards that space anyway.
However, later patches in this series will teach parse-options to
handle subcommands, and subcommands will be included in the completion
helper output as well. This will make the loop printing options (and
subcommands) a tad more complex, so I wanted to test the result. The
test would have to account for the presence of that leading space,
which bugged my OCD, so let's get rid of it.

Update the comment documenting 'struct option' to clarify that
PARSE_OPT_NODASH can only be an argumentless short option; see
51a9949eda (parseopt: add PARSE_OPT_NODASH, 2009-05-07).

The description of 'PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN' starts with "Keep unknown
arguments instead of erroring out". This is a bit misleading, as this
flag only applies to unknown --options, while non-option arguments are
kept even without this flag.
Update the description to clarify this, and rename the flag to
PARSE_OPTIONS_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT to make this obvious just by looking at
the flag name.

The description of the 'OPT_CMDMODE' macro states that "enum_val is
set to int_var when ...", but it's the other way around, 'int_var' is
set to 'enum_val'. Fix this.

In 't0040-parse-options.sh' we thoroughly test the parsing of all
types and forms of options, but in all those tests parse_options() is
always invoked with a 0 flags parameter.
Add a few tests to demonstrate how various 'enum parse_opt_flags'
values are supposed to influence option parsing.

'git remote' without a subcommand defaults to listing all remotes and
doesn't accept any arguments except the '-v|--verbose' option.
We are about to teach parse-options to handle subcommands, and update
'git remote' to make use of that new feature. So let's add some tests
to make sure that the upcoming changes don't inadvertently change the
behavior in these cases.

Our Bash completion script can complete --options for commands using
parse-options even when that command doesn't have a dedicated
completion function, but to do so the completion script must know
which commands use parse-options and which don't. Therefore, commands
not using parse-options are marked in 'git.c's command list with the
NO_PARSEOPT flag.
Update this list, and remove this flag from the commands that by now
use parse-options.
After this change we can TAB complete --options of the plumbing
commands 'commit-tree', 'mailinfo' and 'mktag'.
