Follow-up 01ca387774 ("commit-graph: split up close_reachable()
progress output", 2018-11-19) by making the progress bars in
close_reachable() report a completion percentage. This fixes the last
occurrence where in the commit graph writing where we didn't report
that.
The change in 01ca387774 split up the 1x progress bar in
close_reachable() into 3x, but left them as dumb counters without a
percentage completion. Fixing that is easy, and the only reason it
wasn't done already is because that commit was rushed in during the
v2.20.0 RC period to fix the unrelated issue of over-reporting commit
numbers. See [1] and follow-ups for ML activity at the time and [2]
for an alternative approach where the progress bars weren't split up.
Now for e.g. linux.git we'll emit:
$ ~/g/git/git --exec-path=$HOME/g/git commit-graph write
Finding commits for commit graph among packed objects: 100% (6529159/6529159), done.

Add progress output to sections of code between "Annotating[...]" and
"Computing[...]generation numbers". This can collectively take 5-10
seconds on a large enough repository.
On a test repository with I have with ~7 million commits and ~50
million objects we'll now emit:
$ ~/g/git/git --exec-path=$HOME/g/git commit-graph write
Finding commits for commit graph among packed objects: 100% (124763727/124763727), done.

Writing out commit graph in 4 passes: 100% (29001208/29001208), done.
Whereas on a medium-sized repository such as linux.git these new
progress bars won't have time to kick in and as before and we'll still
emit output like:
$ ~/g/git/git --exec-path=$HOME/g/git commit-graph write
Finding commits for commit graph among packed objects: 100% (6529159/6529159), done.
Expanding reachable commits in commit graph: 815990, done.

Writing out commit graph in 4 passes: 100% (3263932/3263932), done.
The "Counting distinct commits in commit graph" phase will spend most
of its time paused at "0/*" as we QSORT(...) the list. That's not
optimal, but at least we don't seem to be stalling anymore most of the

Make the progress output shown when we're searching for commits to
include in the graph more descriptive. This amends code I added in
7b0f229222 ("commit-graph write: add progress output", 2018-09-17).
Now, on linux.git, we'll emit this sort of output in the various modes
we support:
$ git commit-graph write
Finding commits for commit graph among packed objects: 100% (6529159/6529159), done.
[...]
# Actually we don't emit this since this takes almost no time at
# all. But if we did (s/_delayed//) we'd show:
$ git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname)' | git commit-graph write --stdin-commits
Finding commits for commit graph from 630 refs: 100% (630/630), done.
[...]
$ (cd .git/objects/pack/ && ls *idx) | git commit-graph write --stdin-pack
Finding commits for commit graph in 3 packs: 6529159, done.
[...]
The middle on of those is going to be the output users might see in
practice, since it'll be emitted when they get the commit graph via
gc.writeCommitGraph=true. But as noted above you need a really large
number of refs for this message to show. It'll show up on a test
repository I have with ~165k refs:
Finding commits for commit graph from 165203 refs: 100% (165203/165203), done.

Show the percentage progress for the "Finding commits for commit
graph" phase for the common case where we're operating on all packs in
the repository, as "commit-graph write" or "gc" will do.
Before we'd emit on e.g. linux.git with "commit-graph write":
Finding commits for commit graph: 6529159, done.
[...]
And now:
Finding commits for commit graph: 100% (6529159/6529159), done.
[...]
Since the commit graph only includes those commits that are packed
(via for_each_packed_object(...)) the approximate_object_count()
returns the actual number of objects we're going to process.
Still, it is possible due to a race with "gc" or another process
maintaining packs that the number of objects we're going to process is
lower than what approximate_object_count() reported. In that case we
don't want to stop the progress bar short of 100%. So let's make sure
it snaps to 100% at the end.
The inverse case is also possible and more likely. I.e. that a new
pack has been added between approximate_object_count() and
for_each_packed_object(). In that case the percentage will go beyond
100%, and we'll do nothing to snap it back to 100% at the end.

Make the "Writing out" part of the progress output more
descriptive. Depending on the shape of the graph we either make 3 or 4
passes over it.
Let's present this information to the user in case they're wondering
what this number, which is much larger than their number of commits,
has to do with writing out the commit graph. Now e.g. on linux.git we
emit:
$ ~/g/git/git --exec-path=$HOME/g/git -C ~/g/linux commit-graph write
Finding commits for commit graph: 6529159, done.
Expanding reachable commits in commit graph: 815990, done.
Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (815983/815983), done.

A note on i18n: Why are we using the Q_() function and passing a

Add progress output to be shown when we're writing out the
commit-graph, this adds to the output already added in 7b0f229222
("commit-graph write: add progress output", 2018-09-17).
As noted in that commit most of the progress output isn't displayed on
small repositories, but before this change we'd noticeably hang for
2-3 seconds at the end on medium sized repositories such as linux.git.
Now we'll instead show output like this, and reduce the
human-observable times at which we're not producing progress output:
$ ~/g/git/git --exec-path=$HOME/g/git -C ~/g/2015-04-03-1M-git commit-graph write
Finding commits for commit graph: 13064614, done.
Expanding reachable commits in commit graph: 1000447, done.
Computing commit graph generation numbers: 100% (1000447/1000447), done.
Writing out commit graph: 100% (3001341/3001341), done.
This "Writing out" number is 3x or 4x the number of commits, depending
on the graph we're processing. A later change will make this explicit
to the user.

The optional 'Extra Edge List' chunk of the commit graph file stores
parent information for commits with more than two parents. Since the
chunk is optional, write_commit_graph() looks through all commits to
find those with more than two parents, and then writes the commit
graph file header accordingly, i.e. if there are no such commits, then
there won't be a 'Extra Edge List' chunk written, only the three
mandatory chunks.
However, when it later comes to writing actual chunk data,
write_commit_graph() unconditionally invokes
write_graph_chunk_extra_edges(), even when it was decided earlier that
that chunk won't be written. Strictly speaking there is no bug here,
because write_graph_chunk_extra_edges() won't write anything if it
doesn't find any commits with more than two parents, but then it
unnecessarily and in vain looks through all commits once again in
search for such commits.
Don't call write_graph_chunk_extra_edges() when that chunk won't be
written to spare an unnecessary iteration over all commits.

Display date and time information in a format similar to how people
write dates in other contexts. If the year isn't specified then, the
reader infers the date is given is in the current year.
By not displaying the redundant information, the reader concentrates
on the information that is different. The patch reports relative dates
based on information inferred from the date on the machine running the
git command at the time the command is executed.
While the format is more useful to humans by dropping inferred
information, there is nothing that makes it actually human. If the
'relative' date format wasn't already implemented then using
'relative' would have been appropriate.

In addition to adding the 'human' format, the patch added the auto
keyword which could be used in the config file as an alternate way to
specify the human format. Removing 'auto' cleans up the 'human'
format interface.
Added the ability to specify mode 'foo' if the pager is being used by
using auto:foo syntax. Therefore, 'auto:human' date mode defaults to
human if we're using the pager. So you can do
git config --add log.date auto:human
and your "git log" commands will show the human-legible format unless
you're scripting things.

Since 60a12722ac (attr: remove maybe-real, maybe-macro from git_attr,
2017-01-27), we will always mark an attribute macro (e.g., "binary")
that is specifically queried for as "unspecified", even though listing
_all_ attributes would display it at set. E.g.:
$ echo "* binary" >.gitattributes
$ git check-attr -a file
file: binary: set
file: diff: unset
file: merge: unset
file: text: unset
$ git check-attr binary file
file: binary: unspecified
The problem stems from an incorrect conversion of the optimization from
06a604e670 (attr: avoid heavy work when we know the specified attr is
not defined, 2014-12-28). There we tried in collect_some_attrs() to
avoid even looking at the attr_stack when the user has asked for "foo"
and we know that "foo" did not ever appear in any .gitattributes file.
It used a flag "maybe_real" in each attribute struct, where "real" meant
that the attribute appeared in an actual file (we have to make this
distinction because we also create an attribute struct for any names
that are being queried). But as explained in that commit message, the
meaning of "real" was tangled with some special cases around macros.
When 60a12722ac later refactored the macro code, it dropped maybe_real
entirely. This missed the fact that "maybe_real" could be unset for two
reasons: because of a macro, or because it was never found during
parsing. This had two results:
- the optimization in collect_some_attrs() ceased doing anything
meaningful, since it no longer kept track of "was it found during
parsing"
- worse, it actually kicked in when the caller _did_ ask about a macro
by name, causing us to mark it as unspecified
It should be possible to salvage this optimization, but let's start with
just removing the remnants. It hasn't been doing anything (except
creating bugs) since 60a12722ac, and nobody seems to have noticed the
performance regression. It's more important to fix the correctness
problem clearly first.
I've added two tests here. The second one actually shows off the bug.
The test of "check-attr -a" is not strictly necessary, but we currently
do not test attribute macros much, and the builtin "binary" not at all.
So this increases our general test coverage, as well as making sure we
didn't mess up this related case.

The optional 'Large Edge List' chunk of the commit graph file stores
parent information for commits with more than two parents, and the
names of most of the macros, variables, struct fields, and functions
related to this chunk contain the term "large edges", e.g.
write_graph_chunk_large_edges(). However, it's not a really great
term, as the edges to the second and subsequent parents stored in this
chunk are not any larger than the edges to the first and second
parents stored in the "main" 'Commit Data' chunk. It's the number of
edges, IOW number of parents, that is larger compared to non-merge and
"regular" two-parent merge commits. And indeed, two functions in
'commit-graph.c' have a local variable called 'num_extra_edges' that
refer to the same thing, and this "extra edges" term is much better at
describing these edges.
So let's rename all these references to "large edges" in macro,
variable, function, etc. names to "extra edges". There is a
GRAPH_OCTOPUS_EDGES_NEEDED macro as well; for the sake of consistency
rename it to GRAPH_EXTRA_EDGES_NEEDED.
We can do so safely without causing any incompatibility issues,
because the term "large edges" doesn't come up in the file format
itself in any form (the chunk's magic is {'E', 'D', 'G', 'E'}, there
is no 'L' in there), but only in the specification text. The string
"large edges", however, does come up in the output of 'git
commit-graph read' and in tests looking at its input, but that command
is explicitly documented as debugging aid, so we can change its output
and the affected tests safely.

Slightly optimize the "commit-graph write" step by using
FOR_EACH_OBJECT_PACK_ORDER with for_each_object_in_pack(). See commit
[1] and [2] for the facility and a similar optimization for "cat-file".
On Linux it is around 5% slower to run:
echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches &&
cat .git/objects/pack/* >/dev/null &&
git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check --unordered
Than the same thing with the "cat" omitted. This is as expected, since
we're iterating in pack order and the "cat" is extra work.
Before this change the opposite was true of "commit-graph write". We
were 6% faster if we first ran "cat" to efficiently populate the FS
cache for our sole big pack on linux.git, than if we had populated it
via for_each_object_in_pack(). Now we're 3% faster without the "cat"
instead.
My tests were done on an unloaded Linux 3.10 system with 10 runs for
each. Derrick Stolee did his own tests on Windows[3] showing a 2%
improvement with a high degree of accuracy.

If `git commit-tree HEAD^{tree}` fails on us and produces no output on
stdout, we will substitute that empty string and execute `git tag
ninth-unsigned`, i.e., we will tag HEAD rather than a newly created
object. But we are lucky: we have a signature on HEAD, so we should
eventually fail the next test, where we verify that "ninth-unsigned" is
indeed unsigned.
We have a similar problem a few lines later. If `git commit-tree -S`
fails with no output, we will happily tag HEAD as "tenth-signed". Here,
we are not so lucky. The tag ends up on the same commit as
"eighth-signed-alt", and that's a signed commit, so t7510-signed-commit
will pass, despite `git commit-tree -S` failing.
Make these `git commit-tree` invocations a direct part of the &&-chain,
so that we can rely less on luck and set a better example for future
tests modeled after this one. Fix a 9/10 copy/paste error while at it.

The MSYS2 runtime does its best to emulate the command-line wildcard
expansion and de-quoting which would be performed by the calling Unix
shell on Unix systems.
Those Unix shell quoting rules differ from the quoting rules applying to
Windows' cmd and Powershell, making it a little awkward to quote
command-line parameters properly when spawning other processes.
In particular, git.exe passes arguments to subprocesses that are *not*
intended to be interpreted as wildcards, and if they contain
backslashes, those are not to be interpreted as escape characters, e.g.
when passing Windows paths.
Note: this is only a problem when calling MSYS2 executables, not when
calling MINGW executables such as git.exe. However, we do call MSYS2
executables frequently, most notably when setting the use_shell flag in
the child_process structure.
There is no elegant way to determine whether the .exe file to be
executed is an MSYS2 program or a MINGW one. But since the use case of
passing a command line through the shell is so prevalent, we need to
work around this issue at least when executing sh.exe.
Let's introduce an ugly, hard-coded test whether argv[0] is "sh", and
whether it refers to the MSYS2 Bash, to determine whether we need to
quote the arguments differently than usual.
That still does not fix the issue completely, but at least it is
something.
Incidentally, this also fixes the problem where `git clone \\server\repo`
failed due to incorrect handling of the backslashes when handing the path
to the git-upload-pack process.
Further, we need to take care to quote not only whitespace and
backslashes, but also curly brackets. As aliases frequently go through
the MSYS2 Bash, and as aliases frequently get parameters such as
HEAD@{yesterday}, this is really important. As an early version of this
patch broke this, let's make sure that this does not regress by adding a
test case for that.

Due to a quirk in Git's method to spawn git-upload-pack, there is a
problem when passing paths with backslashes in them: Git will force the
command-line through the shell, which has different quoting semantics in
Git for Windows (being an MSYS2 program) than regular Win32 executables
such as git.exe itself.
The symptom is that the first of the two backslashes in UNC paths of the
form \\myserver\folder\repository.git is *stripped off*.
Document this bug by introducing a test case.
