* mc/index-pack-report-max-size:
index-pack: clarify the breached limit
A not-so-common mistake is to write a script to feed "git bisect
run" without making it executable, in which case all tests will
exit with 126 or 127 error codes, even on revisions that are marked
as good. Try to recognize this situation and stop iteration early.
* rs/bisect-executable-not-found:

bisect--helper: report actual bisect_state() argument on error
Further polishing of "git sparse-checkout".

sparse-checkout: error or warn when given individual files
sparse-checkout: pay attention to prefix for {set, add}
sparse-checkout: correctly set non-cone mode when expected
sparse-checkout: correct reapply's handling of options
Test modernization.

tests: allow testing if a path is truly a file or a directory
t/t3903-stash.sh: replace test [-d|-f] with test_path_is_*
Typically with sparse checkouts, we expect files outside the sparsity
patterns to be marked as SKIP_WORKTREE and be missing from the working
tree. Sometimes this expectation would be violated however; including
in cases such as:
* users grabbing files from elsewhere and writing them to the worktree
(perhaps by editing a cached copy in an editor, copying/renaming, or
even untarring)
* various git commands having incomplete or no support for the
SKIP_WORKTREE bit[1,2]
* users attempting to "abort" a sparse-checkout operation with a
not-so-early Ctrl+C (updating $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout and the
working tree is not atomic)[3].
When the SKIP_WORKTREE bit in the index did not reflect the presence of
the file in the working tree, it traditionally caused confusion and was
difficult to detect and recover from. So, in a sparse checkout, since
af6a51875a (repo_read_index: clear SKIP_WORKTREE bit from files present
in worktree, 2022-01-14), Git automatically clears the SKIP_WORKTREE
bit at index read time for entries corresponding to files that are
present in the working tree.
There is another workflow, however, where it is expected that paths
outside the sparsity patterns appear to exist in the working tree and
that they do not lose the SKIP_WORKTREE bit, at least until they get
modified. A Git-aware virtual file system[4] takes advantage of its
position as a file system driver to expose all files in the working
tree, fetch them on demand using partial clone on access, and tell Git
to pay attention to them on demand by updating the sparse checkout
pattern on writes. This means that commands like "git status" only have
to examine files that have potentially been modified, whereas commands
like "ls" are able to show the entire codebase without requiring manual
updates to the sparse checkout pattern.
Thus since af6a51875a, Git with such Git-aware virtual file systems
unsets the SKIP_WORKTREE bit for all files and commands like "git
status" have to fetch and examine them all.
Introduce a configuration setting sparse.expectFilesOutsideOfPatterns to
allow limiting the tracked set of files to a small set once again. A
Git-aware virtual file system or other application that wants to
maintain files outside of the sparse checkout can set this in a
repository to instruct Git not to check for the presence of
SKIP_WORKTREE files. The setting defaults to false, so most users of
sparse checkout will still get the benefit of an automatically updating
index to recover from the variety of difficult issues detailed in
af6a51875a for paths with SKIP_WORKTREE set despite the path being
present.

Change the GIT_BUILD_DIR from a path like "/path/to/build/t/.." to
"/path/to/build". The "TEST_DIRECTORY" here is already made an
absolute path a few lines above this.
We could simply do $(cd "$TEST_DIRECTORY"/.." && pwd) here, but as
noted in the preceding commit the "$TEST_DIRECTORY" can't be anything
except the path containing this test-lib.sh file at this point, so we
can more cheaply and equally strip the "/t" off the end.
This change will be helpful to LSAN_OPTIONS which will want to strip
the build directory path from filenames, which we couldn't do if we

Correct a misleading comment added by me in 62f539043c (test-lib:
Allow overriding of TEST_DIRECTORY, 2010-08-19), and add an assertion
that TEST_DIRECTORY cannot point to any directory except the "t"
directory in the top-level of git.git.
This assertion is in effect not new, since we'd already die if that
wasn't the case[1], but it and the updated commentary help to make
that clearer.
The existing comments were also on the wrong arms of the
"if". I.e. the "allow tests to override this" was on the "test -z"
arm. That came about due to a combination of 62f539043c and
85176d7251 (test-lib.sh: convert $TEST_DIRECTORY to an absolute path,
2013-11-17).
Those earlier comments could be read as allowing the "$TEST_DIRECTORY"
to be some path outside of t/. As explained in the updated comment
that's impossible, rather it was meant for *tests* that ran outside of
t/, i.e. the "t0000-basic.sh" tests that use "lib-subtest.sh".
Those tests have a different working directory, but they set the
"TEST_DIRECTORY" to the same path for bootstrapping. The comments now
reflect that, and further comment on why we have a hard dependency on
this.

Change our ASAN_OPTIONS and LSAN_OPTIONS to set defaults for those
variables, rather than punting out entirely if we already have them in
the environment.
We want to take any user-provided settings over our own, but we can do
that by prepending our defaults to the variable. The libsanitizer
options parsing has "last option wins" semantics.
It's now possible to do e.g.:
LSAN_OPTIONS=report_objects=1 ./t0006-date.sh
And not have the "report_objects=1" setting overwrite our sensible
default of "abort_on_error=1", but by prepending to the list we ensure
that:
LSAN_OPTIONS=report_objects=1:abort_on_error=0 ./t0006-date.sh
Will take the desired "abort_on_error=0" over our default.
See b0f4c9087e (t: support clang/gcc AddressSanitizer, 2014-12-08)
for the original pattern being altered here, and
85b81b35ff (test-lib: set LSAN_OPTIONS to abort by default,
2017-09-05) for when LSAN_OPTIONS was added in addition to the
then-existing ASAN_OPTIONS.

for the source of guides, 2018-05-20). Adjust the output of "git help

The Git concept guides are:
[...]
To:
$ git help --guides
The Git concept guides are:

That we started printing an extra "\n" in 1b81d8cb19 wasn't intended,
but an emergent effect of moving all of the printing of "git help"
output to code that was ready to handle printing N sections.

function added earlier in the same series, or in cfb22a02ab (help:

Fixing this formatting nit is easy enough. Let's have all of the

In sparse-checkout add/set under cone mode, the arguments passed are
supposed to be directories rather than gitignore-style patterns.
However, given the amount of effort spent in the manual discussing
patterns, it is easy for users to assume they need to pass patterns such
as
/foo/*
or
!/bar/*/
or perhaps they really do ignore the directory rule and specify a
random gitignore-style pattern like
*.c
To help catch such mistakes, throw an error if any of the positional
arguments:
* starts with any of '/!'
* contains any of '*?[]'
Inform users they can pass --skip-checks if they have a directory that
really does have such special characters in its name. (We exclude '\'
because of sparse-checkout's special handling of backslashes; see
the MINGW test in t1091.46.)

The set and add subcommands accept multiple positional arguments.
The meaning of these arguments differs slightly in the two modes:
Cone mode only accepts directories. If given a file, it would
previously treat it as a directory, causing not just the file itself to
be included but all sibling files as well -- likely against users'
expectations. Throw an error if the specified path is a file in the
index. Provide a --skip-checks argument to allow users to override
(e.g. for the case when the given path IS a directory on another
branch).
Non-cone mode accepts general gitignore patterns. There are many
reasons to avoid this mode, but one possible reason to use it instead of
cone mode: to be able to select individual files within a directory.
However, if a file is passed to set/add in non-cone mode, you won't be
selecting a single file, you'll be selecting a file with the same name
in any directory. Thus users will likely want to prefix any paths they
specify with a leading '/' character; warn users if the patterns they
specify exactly name a file because it means they are likely missing
such a leading slash.

In cone mode, non-option arguments to set & add are clearly paths, and
as such, we should pay attention to prefix.
In non-cone mode, it is not clear that folks intend to provide paths
since the inputs are gitignore-style patterns. Paying attention to
prefix would prevent folks from doing things like
git sparse-checkout add /.gitattributes
git sparse-checkout add '/toplevel-dir/*'
In fact, the former will result in
fatal: '/.gitattributes' is outside repository...
while the later will result in
fatal: Invalid path '/toplevel-dir': No such file or directory
despite the fact that both are valid gitignore-style patterns that would
select real files if added to the sparse-checkout file. This might lead
people to just use the path without the leading slash, potentially
resulting in them grabbing files with the same name throughout the
directory hierarchy contrary to their expectations. See also [1] and
[2]. Adding prefix seems to just be fraught with error; so for now
simply throw an error in non-cone mode when sparse-checkout set/add are
run from a subdirectory.

Commit 4e256731d6 ("sparse-checkout: enable reapply to take
--[no-]{cone,sparse-index}", 2021-12-14) made it so that reapply could
take additional options but added no tests. Tests would have shown that
the feature doesn't work because the initial values are set AFTER
parsing the command line options instead of before. Add a test and set
the initial value at the appropriate time.

Indent the here-docs and use "test_cmp" instead of "diff" in tests
added in ec55559f93 (push: Add support for pre-push hooks,
2013-01-13). Let's also use the more typical "expect" instead of
"expected" to be consistent with the rest of the test file.

Extend the tests added in ec55559f93 (push: Add support for pre-push
hooks, 2013-01-13) to exhaustively test for the exact input we're
expecting. This ensures that we e.g. don't miss a trailing newline.
Appending to a file called "actual" is the established convention in
this test for hooks, see the rest of the tests added in
ec55559f93 (push: Add support for pre-push hooks, 2013-01-13). Let's
follow that convention here.

"git cmd -h" outside a repository should error out cleanly for many
commands, but instead it hit a BUG(), which has been corrected.
* js/short-help-outside-repo-fix:
t0012: verify that built-ins handle `-h` even without gitdir
checkout/fetch/pull/pack-objects: allow `-h` outside a repository
