Teach fsmonitor--daemon client threads to create a cookie file
inside the .git directory and then wait until FS events for the
cookie are observed by the FS listener thread.
This helps address the racy nature of file system events by
blocking the client response until the kernel has drained any
event backlog.
This is especially important on MacOS where kernel events are
only issued with a limited frequency. See the `latency` argument
of `FSeventStreamCreate()`. The kernel only signals every `latency`
seconds, but does not guarantee that the kernel queue is completely
drained, so we may have to wait more than one interval. If we
increase the latency, the system is more likely to drop events.
We avoid these issues by having each client thread create a unique
cookie file and then wait until it is seen in the event stream.

Teach fsmonitor--daemon to periodically truncate the list of
modified files to save some memory.
Clients will ask for the set of changes relative to a token that they
found in the FSMN index extension in the index. (This token is like a
point in time, but different). Clients will then update the index to
contain the response token (so that subsequent commands will be
relative to this new token).
Therefore, the daemon can gradually truncate the in-memory list of
changed paths as they become obsolete (older than the previous token).
Since we may have multiple clients making concurrent requests with a
skew of tokens and clients may be racing to the talk to the daemon,
we lazily truncate the list.
We introduce a 5 minute delay and truncate batches 5 minutes after
they are considered obsolete.

Teach fsmonitor--daemon to build a list of changed paths and associate
them with a token-id. This will be used by the platform-specific
backends to accumulate changed paths in response to filesystem events.
The platform-specific file system listener thread receives file system
events containing one or more changed pathnames (with whatever
bucketing or grouping that is convenient for the file system). These
paths are accumulated (without locking) by the file system layer into
a `fsmonitor_batch`.
When the file system layer has drained the kernel event queue, it will
"publish" them to our token queue and make them visible to concurrent
client worker threads. The token layer is free to combine and/or de-dup
paths within these batches for efficient presentation to clients.

This classification will be used in a later commit by the

Implement 'git fsmonitor--daemon start' command. This command starts
an instance of 'git fsmonitor--daemon run' in the background using
the new 'start_bg_command()' function.
We avoid the fork-and-call technique on Unix systems in favor of a

events. It also makes our usage more consistent with Windows usage.
On Windows, teach 'git fsmonitor--daemon run' to optionally call
'FreeConsole()' to release handles to the inherited Win32 console
(despite being passed invalid handles for stdin/out/err). Without
this, command prompts and powershell terminal windows could hang

Move fsmonitor config settings to a new and opaque
`struct fsmonitor_settings` structure. Add a lazily-loaded pointer
to this into `struct repo_settings`
Create an `enum fsmonitor_mode` type in `struct fsmonitor_settings` to
represent the state of fsmonitor. This lets us represent which, if
any, fsmonitor provider (hook or IPC) is enabled.
Create `fsm_settings__get_*()` getters to lazily look up fsmonitor-
related config settings.
Get rid of the `core_fsmonitor` global variable. Move the code to
lookup the existing `core.fsmonitor` config value into the fsmonitor
settings.
Create a hook pathname variable in `struct fsmonitor-settings` and
only set it when in hook mode.
Extend the definition of `core.fsmonitor` to be either a boolean
or a hook pathname. When true, the builtin FSMonitor is used.
When false or unset, no FSMonitor (neither builtin nor hook) is
used.
The existing `core_fsmonitor` global variable was used to store the
pathname to the fsmonitor hook *and* it was used as a boolean to see
if fsmonitor was enabled. This dual usage and global visibility leads
to confusion when we add the IPC-based provider. So lets hide the
details in fsmonitor-settings.c and let it decide which provider to
use in the case of multiple settings. This avoids cluttering up
repo-settings.c with these private details.
A future commit in builtin-fsmonitor series will add the ability to
disqualify worktrees for various reasons, such as being mounted from a
remote volume, where fsmonitor should not be started. Having the
config settings hidden in fsmonitor-settings.c allows such worktree
restrictions to override the config values used.

Have the diff_free() function call clear_pathspec(). Since the

When I added the diff_free() function in e900d494dc (diff: add an API
for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11) I simply missed this, or wasn't
interested in it. Let's consolidate this now. This means that any
future callers (and I've got revision.c in mind) that embed a "struct
diff_options" can simply call diff_free() instead of needing know that
it has an embedded pathspec.
This does fix a bunch of leaks, but I can't mark any test here as
passing under the SANITIZE=leak testing mode because in
886e1084d7 (builtin/: add UNLEAKs, 2017-10-01) an UNLEAK(rev) was
added, which plasters over the memory
leak. E.g. "t4011-diff-symlink.sh" would report fewer leaks with this
fix, but because of the UNLEAK() reports none.
I'll eventually loop around to removing that UNLEAK(rev) annotation as
I'll fix deeper issues with the revisions API leaking. This is one
small step on the way there, a new freeing function in revisions.c
will want to call this diff_free().

Similarly, the change to "builtin/{fast-import,show-branch,tag}.c"

We could simply include this new header in "cache.h", but as this

changes to this API will no longer cause a (mostly) full re-build of

Simplify the parsing of "grep.patternType" and
"grep.extendedRegexp". This changes no behavior, but gets rid of
complex parsing logic that isn't needed anymore.
When "grep.patternType" was introduced in 84befcd0a4 (grep: add a
grep.patternType configuration setting, 2012-08-03) we promised that:
1. You can set "grep.patternType", and "[setting it to] 'default'
will return to the default matching behavior".
In that context "the default" meant whatever the configuration
system specified before that change, i.e. via grep.extendedRegexp.
2. We'd support the existing "grep.extendedRegexp" option, but ignore
it when the new "grep.patternType" option is set. We said we'd
only ignore the older "grep.extendedRegexp" option "when the
`grep.patternType` option is set to a value other than
'default'".
In a preceding commit we changed grep_config() to be called after
grep_init(), which means that much of the complexity here can go
away.
As before both "grep.patternType" and "grep.extendedRegexp" are
last-one-wins variable, with "grep.extendedRegexp" yielding to
"grep.patternType", except when "grep.patternType=default".
Note that as the previously added tests indicate this cannot be done
on-the-fly as we see the config variables, without introducing more
state keeping. I.e. if we see:
-c grep.extendedRegexp=false
-c grep.patternType=default
-c extendedRegexp=true
We need to select ERE, since grep.patternType=default unselects that
variable, which normally has higher precedence, but we also need to
select BRE in cases of:
-c grep.extendedRegexp=true \
-c grep.extendedRegexp=false
Which would not be the case for this, which select ERE:
-c grep.patternType=extended \
-c grep.extendedRegexp=false
Therefore we cannot do this on-the-fly in grep_config without also
introducing tracking variables for not only the pattern type, but what
the source of that pattern type was.
So we need to decide on the pattern after our config was fully
parsed. Let's do that by deferring the decision on the pattern type
until it's time to compile it in compile_regexp().
By that time we've not only parsed the config, but also handled the
command-line options. Those will set "opt.pattern_type_option" (*not*
"opt.extended_regexp_option"!).
At that point all we need to do is see if "grep.patternType" was
UNSPECIFIED in the end (including an explicit "=default"), if so we'll
use the "grep.extendedRegexp" configuration, if any.
See my 07a3d41173 (grep: remove regflags from the public grep_opt
API, 2017-06-29) for addition of the two comments being removed here,
i.e. the complexity noted in that commit is now going away.

The grep_init() function used the odd pattern of initializing the
passed-in "struct grep_opt" with a statically defined "grep_defaults"
struct, which would be modified in-place when we invoked
grep_config().
So we effectively (b) initialized config, (a) then defaults, (c)
followed by user options. Usually those are ordered as "a", "b" and
"c" instead.
As the comments being removed here show the previous behavior needed
to be carefully explained as we'd potentially share the populated
configuration among different instances of grep_init(). In practice we
didn't do that, but now that it can't be a concern anymore let's
remove those comments.
This does not change the behavior of any of the configuration
variables or options. That would have been the case if we didn't move
around the grep_config() call in "builtin/log.c". But now that we call
"grep_config" after "git_log_config" and "git_format_config" we'll
need to pass in the already initialized "struct grep_opt *".
See 6ba9bb76e0 (grep: copy struct in one fell swoop, 2020-11-29) and
7687a0541e (grep: move the configuration parsing logic to grep.[ch],

The memcpy() pattern here will be optimized away and follows the
convention of other *_init() functions. See 5726a6b401 (*.c *_init():

Change code in "builtin/grep.c" and "builtin/ls-tree.c" to trust the
"prefix" passed from "run_builtin()". The "prefix" we get from setup.c
is either going to be NULL or a string of length >0, never "".
So we can drop the "prefix && *prefix" checks added for
"builtin/grep.c" in 0d042fecf2 (git-grep: show pathnames relative to
the current directory, 2006-08-11), and for "builtin/ls-tree.c" in
a69dd585fc (ls-tree: chomp leading directories when run from a
subdirectory, 2005-12-23).
As seen in code in revision.c that was added in cd676a5136 (diff
--relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory,
2008-02-12) we already have existing code that does away with this
assertion.
This makes it easier to reason about a subsequent change to the
"prefix_length" code in grep.c in a subsequent commit, and since we're
going to the trouble of doing that let's leave behind an assert() to
promise this to any future callers.
For "builtin/grep.c" it would be painful to pass the "prefix" down the
callchain of:
cmd_grep -> grep_tree -> grep_submodule -> grep_cache -> grep_oid ->
grep_source_name
So for the code that needs it in grep_source_name() let's add a
"grep_prefix" variable similar to the existing "ls_tree_prefix".
While at it let's move the code in cmd_ls_tree() around so that we
assign to the "ls_tree_prefix" right after declaring the variables,
and stop assigning to "prefix". We only subsequently used that
variable later in the function after clobbering it. Let's just use our
own "grep_prefix" instead.
Let's also add an assert() in git.c, so that we'll make this promise
about the "prefix" to any current and future callers, as well as to
any readers of the code.
Code history:
* The strlen() in "grep.c" hasn't been used since 493b7a08d8 (grep:
accept relative paths outside current working directory, 2009-09-05).
When that code was added in 0d042fecf2 (git-grep: show pathnames
relative to the current directory, 2006-08-11) we used the length.
But since 493b7a08d8 we haven't used it for anything except a
boolean check that we could have done on the "prefix" member
itself.

When updating references via git-fetch(1), then by default we report to
the user which references have been changed. This output is formatted in
a nice table such that the different columns are aligned. Because the
first column contains abbreviated object IDs we thus need to iterate
over all refs which have changed and compute the minimum length for
their respective abbreviated hashes. While this effort makes sense in
most cases, it is wasteful when the user passes the `--quiet` flag: we
don't print the summary, but still compute the length.
Skip computing the summary width when the user asked for us to be quiet.
This gives us a speedup of nearly 10% when doing a mirror-fetch in a
repository with thousands of references being updated:

When cloning a repo with a --filter and with --recurse-submodules
enabled, the partial clone filter only applies to the top-level repo.
This can lead to unexpected bandwidth and disk usage for projects which
include large submodules. For example, a user might wish to make a
partial clone of Gerrit and would run:
`git clone --recurse-submodules --filter=blob:5k https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit`.
However, only the superproject would be a partial clone; all the
submodules would have all blobs downloaded regardless of their size.
With this change, the same filter can also be applied to submodules,
meaning the expected bandwidth and disk savings apply consistently.
To avoid changing default behavior, add a new clone flag,
`--also-filter-submodules`. When this is set along with `--filter` and
`--recurse-submodules`, the filter spec is passed along to git-submodule
and git-submodule--helper, such that submodule clones also have the
filter applied.
This applies the same filter to the superproject and all submodules.
Users who need to customize the filter per-submodule would need to clone
with `--no-recurse-submodules` and then manually initialize each
submodule with the proper filter.
Applying filters to submodules should be safe thanks to Jonathan Tan's
recent work [1, 2, 3] eliminating the use of alternates as a method of
accessing submodule objects, so any submodule object access now triggers
a lazy fetch from the submodule's promisor remote if the accessed object
is missing. This patch is a reworked version of [4], which was created
prior to Jonathan Tan's work.

Cloning from a repository that does not yet have any branches or
tags but has other refs resulted in a "remote transport reported
error", which has been corrected.
* jt/clone-not-quite-empty:
clone: support unusual remote ref configurations
"git sparse-checkout init" failed to write into $GIT_DIR/info
directory when the repository was created without one, which has
been corrected to auto-create it.
* jt/sparse-checkout-leading-dir-fix:
sparse-checkout: create leading directory
More "config-based hooks".
* ab/config-based-hooks-2:
run-command: remove old run_hook_{le,ve}() hook API
receive-pack: convert push-to-checkout hook to hook.h
read-cache: convert post-index-change to use hook.h
commit: convert {pre-commit,prepare-commit-msg} hook to hook.h
git-p4: use 'git hook' to run hooks
send-email: use 'git hook run' for 'sendemail-validate'
git hook run: add an --ignore-missing flag
hooks: convert worktree 'post-checkout' hook to hook library
hooks: convert non-worktree 'post-checkout' hook to hook library
merge: convert post-merge to use hook.h
am: convert applypatch-msg to use hook.h
rebase: convert pre-rebase to use hook.h
hook API: add a run_hooks_l() wrapper
am: convert {pre,post}-applypatch to use hook.h
gc: use hook library for pre-auto-gc hook
hook API: add a run_hooks() wrapper
hook: add 'run' subcommand
"git name-rev --stdin" does not behave like usual "--stdin" at
all. Start the process of renaming it to "--annotate-stdin".
* jc/name-rev-stdin:
name-rev.c: use strbuf_getline instead of limited size buffer
name-rev: deprecate --stdin in favor of --annotate-stdin
"git fetch --negotiate-only" is an internal command used by "git
push" to figure out which part of our history is missing from the
other side. It should never recurse into submodules even when
fetch.recursesubmodules configuration variable is set, nor it
should trigger "gc". The code has been tightened up to ensure it
only does common ancestry discovery and nothing else.
* gc/fetch-negotiate-only-early-return:
fetch: help translators by reusing the same message template
fetch --negotiate-only: do not update submodules
fetch: skip tasks related to fetching objects
fetch: use goto cleanup in cmd_fetch()
