257418c590 revision: allow --ancestry-path to take an argument
We have long allowed users to run e.g.
    git log --ancestry-path master..seen
which shows all commits which satisfy all three of these criteria:
  * are an ancestor of seen
  * are not an ancestor of master
  * have master as an ancestor

This commit allows another variant:
    git log --ancestry-path=$TOPIC master..seen
which shows all commits which satisfy all of these criteria:
  * are an ancestor of seen
  * are not an ancestor of master
  * have $TOPIC in their ancestry-path
that last bullet can be defined as commits meeting any of these
criteria:
    * are an ancestor of $TOPIC
    * have $TOPIC as an ancestor
    * are $TOPIC

This also allows multiple --ancestry-path arguments, which can be
used to find commits with any of the given topics in their ancestry
path.

Update the Scalar roadmap to reflect completion of enabling the built-in

Note that implementation of 'scalar help' was moved to the final set of
changes to move Scalar out of 'contrib/'. This is due to a dependency on
changes to 'git help', as all changes to the main Git tree *exclusively*

aac0e8ffee builtin/bugreport.c: create '--diagnose' option
Create a '--diagnose' option for 'git bugreport' to collect additional
information about the repository and write it to a zipped archive.

The '--diagnose' option behaves effectively as an alias for simultaneously
running 'git bugreport' and 'git diagnose'. In the documentation, users are
explicitly recommended to attach the diagnostics alongside a bug report to
provide additional context to readers, ideally reducing some back-and-forth
between reporters and those debugging the issue.

Note that '--diagnose' may take an optional string arg (either 'stats' or
'all'). If specified without the arg, the behavior corresponds to running
'git diagnose' without '--mode'. As with 'git diagnose', this default is
intended to help reduce unintentional leaking of sensitive information).
Users can also explicitly specify '--diagnose=(stats|all)' to generate the
respective archive created by 'git diagnose --mode=(stats|all)'.

Create '--mode=<mode>' option in 'git diagnose' to allow users to optionally
select non-default diagnostic information to include in the output archive.
Additionally, document the currently-available modes, emphasizing the
importance of not sharing a '--mode=all' archive publicly due to the
presence of sensitive information.

Note that the option parsing callback - 'option_parse_diagnose()' - is added
to 'diagnose.c' rather than 'builtin/diagnose.c' so that it may be reused in
future callers configuring a diagnostics archive.

The "diagnose" functionality was originally implemented for Scalar in
aa5c79a331 (scalar: implement `scalar diagnose`, 2022-05-28). However, the
diagnostics gathered are not specific to Scalar-cloned repositories and
can be useful when diagnosing issues in any Git repository.

35ae40ead3 tr2: shows scope unconditionally in addition to key-value pair
When we specify GIT_TRACE2_CONFIG_PARAMS or trace2.configparams,
trace2 will prints "interesting" config values to log. Sometimes,
when a config set in multiple scope files, the following output
looks like (the irrelevant fields are omitted here as "..."):

...| def_param    |  ...  | core.multipackindex:false
...| def_param    |  ...  | core.multipackindex:false
...| def_param    |  ...  | core.multipackindex:false

As the log shows, even each config in different scope is dumped, but
we don't know which scope it comes from. Therefore, it's better to
add the scope names as well to make them be more recognizable. For
example, when execute:

    $ GIT_TRACE2_PERF=1 \
    > GIT_TRACE2_CONFIG_PARAMS=core.multipackIndex \
    > git rev-list --test-bitmap HEAD"

The following is the ouput (the irrelevant fields are omitted here
as "..."):

Format normal:
... git.c:461 ... def_param scope:system core.multipackindex=false
... git.c:461 ... def_param scope:global core.multipackindex=false
... git.c:461 ... def_param scope:local core.multipackindex=false

Format perf:

... | def_param    | ... | scope:system | core.multipackindex:false
... | def_param    | ... | scope:global | core.multipackindex:false
... | def_param    | ... | scope:local  | core.multipackindex:false

Format event:

{"event":"def_param", ... ,"scope":"system","param":"core.multipackindex","value":"false"}
{"event":"def_param", ... ,"scope":"global","param":"core.multipackindex","value":"false"}
{"event":"def_param", ... ,"scope":"local","param":"core.multipackindex","value":"false"}

d06ed85dcb bundle-uri: add example bundle organization
The previous change introduced the bundle URI design document. It
creates a flexible set of options that allow bundle providers many ways
to organize Git object data and speed up clones and fetches. It is
particularly important that we have flexibility so we can apply future
advancements as new ideas for efficiently organizing Git data are
discovered.

However, the design document does not provide even an example of how
bundles could be organized, and that makes it difficult to envision how
the feature should work at the end of the implementation plan.

Add a section that details how a bundle provider could work, including
using the Git server advertisement for multiple geo-distributed servers.
This organization is based on the GVFS Cache Servers which have
successfully used similar ideas to provide fast object access and
reduced server load for very large repositories.

92156291ca log: add default decoration filter
When a user runs 'git log', they expect a certain set of helpful
decorations. This includes:

* The HEAD ref
* Branches (refs/heads/)
* Stashes (refs/stash)
* Tags (refs/tags/)
* Remote branches (refs/remotes/)
* Replace refs (refs/replace/ or $GIT_REPLACE_REF_BASE)

Each of these namespaces was selected due to existing test cases that
verify these namespaces appear in the decorations. In particular,
stashes and replace refs can have custom colors from the
color.decorate.<slot> config option.

While one test checks for a decoration from notes, it only applies to
the tip of refs/notes/commit (or its configured ref name). Notes form
their own kind of decoration instead. Modify the expected output for the
tests in t4013 that expect this note decoration.  There are several
tests throughout the codebase that verify that --decorate-refs,
--decorate-refs-exclude, and log.excludeDecoration work as designed and
the tests continue to pass without intervention.

However, there are other refs that are less helpful to show as
decoration:

* Prefetch refs (refs/prefetch/)
* Rebase refs (refs/rebase-merge/ and refs/rebase-apply/)
* Bundle refs (refs/bundle/) [!]

[!] The bundle refs are part of a parallel series that bootstraps a repo
    from a bundle file, storing the bundle's refs into the repo's
    refs/bundle/ namespace.

In the case of prefetch refs, 96eaffebbf (maintenance: set
log.excludeDecoration durin prefetch, 2021-01-19) added logic to add
refs/prefetch/ to the log.excludeDecoration config option. Additional
feedback pointed out that having such a side-effect can be confusing and
perhaps not helpful to users. Instead, we should hide these ref
namespaces that are being used by Git for internal reasons but are not
helpful for the users to see.

The way to provide a seamless user experience without setting the config
is to modify the default decoration filters to match our expectation of
what refs the user actually wants to see.

In builtin/log.c, after parsing the --decorate-refs and
--decorate-refs-exclude options from the command-line, call
set_default_decoration_filter(). This method populates the exclusions
from log.excludeDecoration, then checks if the list of pattern
modifications are empty. If none are specified, then the default set is
restricted to the set of inclusions mentioned earlier (HEAD, branches,
etc.).  A previous change introduced the ref_namespaces array, which
includes all of these currently-used namespaces. The 'decoration' value
is non-zero when that namespace is associated with a special coloring
and fits into the list of "expected" decorations as described above,
which makes the implementation of this filter very simple.

Note that the logic in ref_filter_match() in log-tree.c follows this
matching pattern:

 1. If there are exclusion patterns and the ref matches one, then ignore
    the decoration.

 2. If there are inclusion patterns and the ref matches one, then
    definitely include the decoration.

 3. If there are config-based exclusions from log.excludeDecoration and
    the ref matches one, then ignore the decoration.

With this logic in mind, we need to ensure that we do not populate our
new defaults if any of these filters are manually set. Specifically, if
a user runs

	git -c log.excludeDecoration=HEAD log

then we expect the HEAD decoration to not appear. If we left the default
inclusions in the set, then HEAD would match that inclusion before
reaching the config-based exclusions.

A potential alternative would be to check the list of default inclusions
at the end, after the config-based exclusions. This would still create a
behavior change for some uses of --decorate-refs-exclude=<X>, and could
be overwritten somewhat with --decorate-refs=refs/ and
--decorate-refs=HEAD. However, it no longer becomes possible to include
refs outside of the defaults while also excluding some using
log.excludeDecoration.

Another alternative would be to exclude the known namespaces that are
not intended to be shown. This would reduce the visible effect of the
change for expert users who use their own custom ref namespaces. The
implementation change would be very simple to swap due to our use of
ref_namespaces:

	int i;
	struct string_list *exclude = decoration_filter->exclude_ref_pattern;

	/*
	 * No command-line or config options were given, so
	 * populate with sensible defaults.
	 */
	for (i = 0; i < NAMESPACE__COUNT; i++) {
		if (ref_namespaces[i].decoration)
			continue;

		string_list_append(exclude, ref_namespaces[i].ref);
	}

The main downside of this approach is that we expect to add new hidden
namespaces in the future, and that means that Git versions will be less
stable in how they behave as those namespaces are added.

It is critical that we provide ways for expert users to disable this
behavior change via command-line options and config keys. These changes
will be implemented in a future change.

Add a test that checks that the defaults are not added when
--decorate-refs is specified. We verify this by showing that HEAD is not
included as it normally would.  Also add a test that shows that the
default filter avoids the unwanted decorations from refs/prefetch,
refs/rebase-merge,
and refs/bundle.

1e2320161d docs: move http-protocol docs to man section 5
Continue the move of existing Documentation/technical/* protocol and
file-format documentation into our main documentation space by moving
the http-protocol.txt documentation over. I'm renaming it to
"protocol-http" to be consistent with other things in the new
gitformat-protocol-* namespace.

6b6029dd1d docs: move cruft pack docs to gitformat-pack
Integrate the cruft packs documentation initially added in
3d89a8c118 (Documentation/technical: add cruft-packs.txt, 2022-05-20)
to the newly created "gitformat-pack" documentation.

Like the "bitmap-format" added before it in
0d4455a3ab (documentation: add documentation for the bitmap format,
2013-11-14) the "cruft-packs" were documented in their own file.

As the diff move detection will show there is no change to
"Documentation/technical/cruft-packs.txt" here except to move it, and
to "indent" the existing sections by adding an extra "=" to them.

We could similarly convert the "bitmap-format.txt", but let's leave it
for now due to a conflict with the in-flight ac/bitmap-lookup-table
series.

977c47b46d docs: move pack format docs to man section 5
Continue the move of existing Documentation/technical/* protocol and
file-format documentation into our main documentation space by moving
the various documentation pertaining to the *.pack format and related
files, and updating things that refer to it to link to the new
location.

By moving these we can properly link from the newly created
gitformat-commit-graph to a gitformat-chunk-format page.

Integrating "Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt" and
"Documentation/technical/cruft-packs.txt" might logically be part of
this change, but as those cover parts of the wider "pack
format" (including associated files) that's documented outside of
"Documentation/technical/pack-format.txt" let's leave those for now,
subsequent commit(s) will address those.
