When unpack_trees() constructs a new index, it copies cache entries
from the original index [1]. prepare_to_write_split_index() has to
deal with this, and it has a dedicated code path for copied entries
that are present in the shared index, where it compares the cached
data in the corresponding copied and original entries. If the cached
data matches, then they are considered the same; if it differs, then
the copied entry will be marked for inclusion as a replacement entry
in the just about to be written split index by setting the
CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag.
However, a cache entry already has its CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag set upon
reading the split index, if the entry already has a replacement entry
there, or upon refreshing the cached stat data, if the corresponding
file was modified. The state of this flag is then preserved when
unpack_trees() copies a cache entry from the shared index.
So modify prepare_to_write_split_index() to check the copied cache
entries' CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag first, and skip the thorough
comparison of cached data if the flag is already set. Those couple of
lines comparing the cached data would then have too many levels of
indentation, so extract them into a helper function.
Note that comparing the cached data in copied and original entries in
the shared index might actually be entirely unnecessary. In theory
all code paths refreshing the cached stat data of an entry in the
shared index should set the CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag in that entry, and
unpack_trees() should preserve this flag when copying cache entries.
This means that the cached data is only ever changed if the
CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag is set as well. Our test suite seems to
confirm this: instrumenting the conditions in question and running the
test suite repeatedly with 'GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=yes' showed that the
cached data in a copied entry differs from the data in the shared
entry only if its CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE flag is indeed set.
In practice, however, our test suite doesn't have 100% coverage,
GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX is inherently random, and I certainly can't claim
to possess complete understanding of what goes on in unpack_trees()...
Therefore I kept the comparison of the cached data when
CE_UPDATE_IN_BASE is not set, just in case that an unnoticed or future
code path were to accidentally miss setting this flag upon refreshing
the cached stat data or unpack_trees() were to drop this flag while
copying a cache entry.
[1] Note that when unpack_trees() constructs the new index and decides
that a cache entry should now refer to different content than what
was recorded in the original index (e.g. 'git read-tree -m
HEAD^'), then that can't really be considered a copy of the
original, but rather the creation of a new entry. Notably and
pertinent to the split index feature, such a new entry doesn't
have a reference to the original's shared index entry anymore,
i.e. its 'index' field is set to 0. Consequently, such an entry
is treated by prepare_to_write_split_index() as an entry not
present in the shared index and it will be added to the new split
index, while the original entry will be marked as deleted, and
neither the above discussion nor the changes in this patch apply
to them.

'struct split_index' contains the field 'nr_deletions', whose name
with the 'nr_' prefix suggests that it contains the number of deleted
cache entries. However, barring its initialization to 0, this field
is only ever set to 1, indicating that there is at least one deleted
entry, but not the number of deleted entries. Luckily, this doesn't
cause any issues (other than confusing the reader, that is), because
the only place reading this field uses it in the same sense, i.e.: 'if
(si->nr_deletions)'.
To avoid confusion, we could either rename this field to something
like 'has_deletions' to make its name match its role, or make it a
counter of deleted cache entries to match its name.
Let's make it a counter, to keep it in sync with the related field
'nr_replacements', which does contain the number of replaced cache
entries. This will also give developers debugging the split index
code easy access to the number of deleted cache entries.

't1700-split-index.sh' checks that the index was split correctly under
various circumstances and that all the different ways to turn the
split index feature on and off work correctly. To do so, most of its
tests use 'test-tool dump-split-index' to see which files have their
cache entries in the split index. All these tests assume that all
cache entries are written to the shared index (called "base"
throughout these tests) when a new shared index is created. This is
an implementation detail: most git commands (basically all except 'git
update-index') don't care or know at all about split index or whether
a cache entry is stored in the split or shared index.
As demonstrated in the previous patch, refreshing a split index is
prone to a variant of the classic racy git issue. The next patch will
fix this issue, but while doing so it will also slightly change this
behaviour: only cache entries with mtime in the past will be written
only to the newly created shared index, but racily clean cache entries
will be written to the new split index (with smudged stat data).
While this upcoming change won't at all affect any git commands, it
will violate the above mentioned assumption of 't1700's tests. Since
these tests create or modify files and create or refresh the split
index in rapid succession, there are plenty of racily clean cache
entries to be dealt with, which will then be written to the new split
indexes, and, ultimately, will cause several tests in 't1700' to fail.
Let's prepare 't1700-split-index.sh' for this upcoming change and
modify its tests to avoid racily clean files by backdating the mtime
of any file modifications (and since a lot of tests create or modify
files, encapsulate it into a helper function).

Ever since the split index feature was introduced [1], refreshing a
split index is prone to a variant of the classic racy git problem.
There are a couple of unrelated tests in the test suite that
occasionally fail when run with 'GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=yes', but
't1700-split-index.sh', the only test script focusing solely on split
index, has never noticed this issue, because it only cares about how
the index is split under various circumstances and all the different
ways to turn the split index feature on and off.
Add a dedicated test script 't1701-racy-split-index.sh' to exercise
the split index feature in racy situations as well; kind of a
"t0010-racy-git.sh for split index" but with modern style (the tests
do everything in &&-chained list of commands in 'test_expect_...'
blocks, and use 'test_cmp' for more informative output on failure).
The tests cover the following sequences of index splitting, updating,
and racy file modifications, with the last two cases demonstrating the
racy split index problem:
1. Split the index while adding a racily clean file:
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --split-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file # size stays the same
This case already works properly. Even though the cache entry's
stat data matches with the modifid file in the worktree,
subsequent git commands will notice that the (split) index and
the file have the same mtime, and then will go on to check the
file's content and notice its dirtiness.
2. Add a racily clean file to an already split index:
git update-index --split-index
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
This case already works properly. After the second 'git
update-index' writes the newly added file's cache entry to the
new split index, it basically works in the same way as case #1.
3. Split the index when it (i.e. the not yet splitted index)
contains a racily clean cache entry, i.e. an entry whose cached
stat data matches with the corresponding file in the worktree and
the cached mtime matches that of the index:
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git update-index --split-index --add other-file
This case already works properly. The shared index is written by
do_write_index(), i.e. the same function that is responsible for
writing "regular" and split indexes as well. This function
cleverly notices the racily clean cache entry, and writes the
entry to the new shared index with smudged stat data, i.e. file
size set to 0. When subsequent git commands read the index, they
will notice that the smudged stat data doesn't match with the
file in the worktree, and then go on to check the file's content
and notice its dirtiness.
4. Update the split index when it contains a racily clean cache
entry:
git update-index --split-index
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git update-index --add other-file
This case already works properly. After the second 'git
update-index' the newly added file's cache entry is only stored
in the split index. If a cache entry is present in the split
index (even if it is a replacement of an outdated entry in the
shared index), then it will always be included in the new split
index on subsequent split index updates (until the file is
removed or a new shared index is written), independently from
whether the entry is racily clean or not. When do_write_index()
writes the new split index, it notices the racily clean cache
entry, and smudges its stat date. Subsequent git commands
reading the index will notice the smudged stat data and then go
on to check the file's content and notice its dirtiness.
5. Update the split index when a racily clean cache entry is stored
only in the shared index:
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --split-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git update-index --add other-file
This case fails due to the racy split index problem. In the
second 'git update-index' prepare_to_write_split_index() decides,
among other things, which cache entries stored only in the shared
index should be replaced in the new split index. Alas, this
function never looks out for racily clean cache entries, and
since the file's stat data in the worktree hasn't changed since
the shared index was written, the entry won't be replaced in the
new split index. Consequently, do_write_index() doesn't even get
this racily clean cache entry, and can't smudge its stat data.
Subsequent git commands will then see that the index has more
recent mtime than the file and that the (not smudged) cached stat
data still matches with the file in the worktree, and,
ultimately, will erroneously consider the file clean.
6. Update the split index after unpack_trees() copied a racily clean
cache entry from the shared index:
echo "cached content" >file
git update-index --split-index --add file
echo "dirty worktree" >file
# ... wait ...
git read-tree -m HEAD
This case fails due to the racy split index problem. This
basically fails for the same reason as case #5 above, but there
is one important difference, which warrants the dedicated test.
While that second 'git update-index' in case #5 updates
index_state in place, in this case 'git read-tree -m' calls
unpack_trees(), which throws out the entire index, and constructs
a new one from the (potentially updated) copies of the original's
cache entries. Consequently, when prepare_to_write_split_index()
gets to work on this reconstructed index, it takes a different
code path than in case #5 when deciding which cache entries in
the shared index should be replaced. The result is the same,
though: the racily clean cache entry goes unnoticed, it isn't
added to the split index with smudged stat data, and subsequent
git commands will then erroneously consider the file clean.
Note that in the last two 'test_expect_failure' cases I omitted the
'#' (as in nr. of trial) from the tests' description on purpose for
now, as it breakes the TAP output [2]; it will be added at the end of
the series, when those two tests will be flipped to
'test_expect_success'.
[1] In the branch leading to the merge commit v2.1.0-rc0~45 (Merge
branch 'nd/split-index', 2014-07-16).
[2] In the TAP output a '#' should separate the test's description
from the TODO directive emitted by 'test_expect_failure'. The
additional '#' in "#$trial" interferes with this, the test harness
won't recognize the TODO directive, and will report that those
tests failed unexpectedly.

This patch helps address the CPU cost of loading the index by utilizing
the Index Entry Offset Table (IEOT) to divide loading and conversion of
the cache entries across multiple threads in parallel.
I used p0002-read-cache.sh to generate some performance data:
Test w/100,000 files reduced the time by 32.24%
Test w/1,000,000 files reduced the time by -4.77%
Note that on the 1,000,000 files case, multi-threading the cache entry parsing
does not yield a performance win. This is because the cost to parse the
index extensions in this repo, far outweigh the cost of loading the cache
entries.
The high cost of parsing the index extensions is driven by the cache tree
and the untracked cache extensions. As this is currently the longest pole,
any reduction in this time will reduce the overall index load times so is
worth further investigation in another patch series.

This patch enables addressing the CPU cost of loading the index by adding
additional data to the index that will allow us to efficiently multi-
thread the loading and conversion of cache entries.
It accomplishes this by adding an (optional) index extension that is a
table of offsets to blocks of cache entries in the index file. To make
this work for V4 indexes, when writing the cache entries, it periodically
"resets" the prefix-compression by encoding the current entry as if the
path name for the previous entry is completely different and saves the
offset of that entry in the IEOT. Basically, with V4 indexes, it
generates offsets into blocks of prefix-compressed entries.

This patch helps address the CPU cost of loading the index by loading
the cache extensions on a worker thread in parallel with loading the cache
entries.
In some cases, loading the extensions takes longer than loading the
cache entries so this patch utilizes the new EOIE to start the thread to
load the extensions before loading all the cache entries in parallel.
This is possible because the current extensions don't access the cache
entries in the index_state structure so are OK that they don't all exist
yet.
The CACHE_EXT_TREE, CACHE_EXT_RESOLVE_UNDO, and CACHE_EXT_UNTRACKED
extensions don't even get a pointer to the index so don't have access to the
cache entries.
CACHE_EXT_LINK only uses the index_state to initialize the split index.
CACHE_EXT_FSMONITOR only uses the index_state to save the fsmonitor last
update and dirty flags.

Test w/100,000 files reduced the time by 0.53%

The End of Index Entry (EOIE) is used to locate the end of the variable
length index entries and the beginning of the extensions. Code can take
advantage of this to quickly locate the index extensions without having
to parse through all of the index entries.
The EOIE extension is always written out to the index file including to
the shared index when using the split index feature. Because it is always
written out, the SHA checksums in t/t1700-split-index.sh were updated
to reflect its inclusion.
It is written as an optional extension to ensure compatibility with other
git implementations that do not yet support it. It is always written out
to ensure it is available as often as possible to speed up index operations.
Because it must be able to be loaded before the variable length cache
entries and other index extensions, this extension must be written last.
The signature for this extension is { 'E', 'O', 'I', 'E' }.
The extension consists of:
- 32-bit offset to the end of the index entries
- 160-bit SHA-1 over the extension types and their sizes (but not
their contents). E.g. if we have "TREE" extension that is N-bytes
long, "REUC" extension that is M-bytes long, followed by "EOIE",
then the hash would be:
SHA-1("TREE" + <binary representation of N> +
"REUC" + <binary representation of M>)

Looking through all the signed-off-by lines in the linux kernel tree
without a @, there are mostly two patterns: Either just a full name, or

appear, along with lots of "cc stable" variations that do not actually

In the <user at domain.com> cases, one gets a chance to interactively
fix it. But when there is no <> pair, it seems we end up just using the

As the number of cases where a local address really was meant is
likely (and anecdotally) quite small compared to the number of cases
where we end up cc'ing a garbage address, insist on at least a @ or a <>
pair being present.

The builtin rebase and the builtin interactive rebase have been
developed independently, on purpose: Google Summer of Code rules
specifically state that students have to work on independent projects,
they cannot collaborate on the same project.
One fallout is that the rebase-in-c and rebase-i-in-c patches cause no
merge conflicts but a royal number of tests in the test suite to fail.
It is easy to explain why: rebase-in-c was developed under the
assumption that all rebase backends are implemented in Unix shell script
and can be sourced via `. git-rebase--<backend>`, which is no longer
true with rebase-i-in-c, where git-rebase--interactive is a hard-linked
builtin.
This patch fixes that.
Please note that we also skip the finish_rebase() call for interactive
rebases because the built-in interactive rebase already takes care of
that. This is needed to support the upcoming `break` command that wants
to interrupt the rebase with exit code 0 (and naturally wants to keep
the state directory intact when doing so).
While at it, remove the `case` arm for the interactive rebase that is
now skipped in favor of the short-cut to the built-in rebase.

The `--exec` option requires `--interactive` machinery.

To support `--autostash` we introduce a function `apply_autostash()`
just like in `git-legacy-rebase.sh`.
Rather than refactoring and using the same function that exists in
`sequencer.c`, we go a different route here, to avoid clashes with
the sister GSoC project that turns the interactive rebase into a
builtin.

This commit converts more code from the shell script version to the
builtin rebase. In this instance, we just have to be careful to
keep support for passing multiple `--whitespace` options, as the
shell script version does so, too.

This documents the existing behaviour of "git help cmd" when cmd is an
alias, as well as providing a hint to use the "git cmd --help" form to
be taken directly to the man page for the aliased command.

Most git commands respond to -h anywhere in the command line, or at
least as a first and lone argument, by printing the usage
information. For aliases, we can provide a little more information that
might be useful in interpreting/understanding the following output by
prepending a line telling that the command is an alias, and for what.
When one invokes a simple alias, such as "cp = cherry-pick"
with -h, this results in
$ git cp -h
'cp' is aliased to 'cherry-pick'
usage: git cherry-pick [<options>] <commit-ish>...
...
When the alias consists of more than one word, this provides the
additional benefit of informing the user which options are implicit in
using the alias, e.g. with "cp = cherry-pick -n":
$ git cp -h
'cp' is aliased to 'cherry-pick -n'
usage: git cherry-pick [<options>] <commit-ish>...
...
For shell commands, we cannot know how it responds to -h, but printing
this line to stderr should not hurt, and can help in figuring out what
is happening in a case like
$ git sc -h
'sc' is aliased to '!somecommand'
somecommand: invalid option '-h'

As discussed in the thread for v1 of this patch [1] [2], this changes the
rules for "git foo --help" when foo is an alias.
(1) When invoked as "git help foo", we continue to print the "foo is
aliased to bar" message and nothing else.
(2) If foo is an alias for a shell command, print "foo is aliased to
!bar" as usual.
(3) Otherwise, print "foo is aliased to bar" to the standard error
stream, and then break the alias string into words and pretend as if
"git word[0] --help" were called.
Getting the man page for git-cherry-pick directly with "git cp --help"
is consistent with "--help" generally providing more comprehensive help
than "-h". Printing the alias definition to stderr means that in certain
cases (e.g. if help.format=web or if the pager uses an alternate screen
and does not clear the terminal), one has
'cp' is aliased to 'cherry-pick -n'
above the prompt when one returns to the terminal/quits the pager, which
is a useful reminder that using 'cp' has some flag implicitly set. There
are cases where this information vanishes or gets scrolled
away, but being printed to stderr, it should never hurt.

In a partial clone, whenever a sparse checkout occurs, the existence of
all blobs in the index is verified, whether they are included or
excluded by the .git/info/sparse-checkout specification. This
significantly degrades performance because a lazy fetch occurs whenever
the existence of a missing blob is checked.
This is because cache_tree_update() checks the existence of all objects
in the index, whether or not CE_SKIP_WORKTREE is set on them. Teach
cache_tree_update() to skip checking CE_SKIP_WORKTREE objects when the
repository is a partial clone. This improves performance for sparse
checkout and also other operations that use cache_tree_update().
Instead of completely removing the check, an argument could be made that
the check should instead be replaced by a check that the blob is
promised, but for performance reasons, I decided not to do this.
If the user needs to verify the repository, it can be done using fsck
(which will notify if a tree points to a missing and non-promised blob,
whether the blob is included or excluded by the sparse-checkout
specification).

We have coverage targets in our Makefile for using gcov to display line
coverage based on our test suite. The way I like to do it is to run:
make coverage-test
make coverage-report
This leaves the repo in a state where every X.c file that was covered has
an X.c.gcov file containing the coverage counts for every line, and "#####"
at every uncovered line.
There have been a few bugs in recent patches what would have been caught
if the test suite covered those blocks (including a few of mine). I want
to work towards a "sensible" amount of coverage on new topics. In my opinion,
this means that any logic should be covered, but the 'die()' blocks covering
very unlikely (or near-impossible) situations may not warrant coverage.
It is important to not measure the coverage of the codebase by what old code
is not covered. To help, I created the 'contrib/coverage-diff.sh' script.
After creating the coverage statistics at a version (say, 'topic') you can
then run
contrib/coverage-diff.sh base topic
to see the lines added between 'base' and 'topic' that are not covered by the
test suite. The output uses 'git blame -s' format so you can find the commits
responsible and view the line numbers for quick access to the context, but
trims leading tabs in the file contents to reduce output width.

Now that we have two places where we set code formatting settings,
.editorconfig and .clang-format, it's possible that they could fall out
of sync. This is relatively unlikely, since we're not likely to change
the tab width or our preference for tabs, but just in case, add comments
to both files reminding future developers to keep them in sync.
