966b4be276 t5[0-4]*: adjust the references to the default branch name "main"
Carefully excluding t5310, which is developed independently of the
current patch series at the time of writing, we now use `main` as
default branch in t5[0-4]*. This trick was performed via

	$ (cd t &&
	   sed -i -e 's/master/main/g' -e 's/MASTER/MAIN/g' \
		-e 's/Master/Main/g' -- t5[0-4]*.sh &&
	   git checkout HEAD -- t5310\*)

This allows us to define `GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=main`
for those tests.

334afbc76f tests: mark tests relying on the current default for init.defaultBranch
In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.

To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in

- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,

- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
  initialize the default branch,

- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,

- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
  uses `master`)

This trick was performed by this command:

	$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
	GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
	export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
	' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
	t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh

After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:

	$ git checkout HEAD -- \
		t/t0027-auto-crlf.sh t/t0060-path-utils.sh \
		t/t1011-read-tree-sparse-checkout.sh \
		t/t1305-config-include.sh t/t1309-early-config.sh \

		t/t7508-status.sh t/t7606-merge-custom.sh \
		t/t9302-fast-import-unpack-limit.sh

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:

	$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
	GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
	export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
	' t/t980[0167]*.sh t/t9811*.sh

fe6f2b081f t5304: add a test for pruning with bitmaps
Commit fde67d6896 (prune: use bitmaps for reachability traversal,
2019-02-13) uses bitmaps for pruning when they're available, but only
covers this functionality in the t/perf tests. This makes a kind of
sense, since the point is that the behaviour is indistinguishable before
and after the patch, just faster.

But since the bitmap code path is not exercised at all in the regular
test suite, it leaves us open to a regression where the behavior does in
fact change. The most thorough way to test that would be running the
whole suite with bitmaps enabled. But we don't yet have a way to do
that, and anyway it's expensive to do so. Let's at least add a basic
test that exercises this path and make sure we prune an object we should
(and not one that we shouldn't).

That would hopefully catch the most obvious breakages early.

d55a30bb1d prune: lazily perform reachability traversal
The general strategy of "git prune" is to do a full reachability walk,
then for each loose object see if we found it in our walk. But if we
don't have any loose objects, we don't need to do the expensive walk in
the first place.

This patch postpones that walk until the first time we need to see its
results.

Note that this is really a specific case of a more general optimization,
which is that we could traverse only far enough to find the object under
consideration (i.e., stop the traversal when we find it, then pick up
again when asked about the next object, etc). That could save us in some
instances from having to do a full walk. But it's actually a bit tricky
to do with our traversal code, and you'd need to do a full walk anyway
if you have even a single unreachable object (which you generally do, if
any objects are actually left after running git-repack).

So in practice this lazy-load of the full walk catches one easy but
common case (i.e., you've just repacked via git-gc, and there's nothing
unreachable).

The perf script is fairly contrived, but it does show off the
improvement:

  Test                            HEAD^             HEAD
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  5304.4: prune with no objects   3.66(3.60+0.05)   0.00(0.00+0.00) -100.0%

and would let us know if we accidentally regress this optimization.

Note also that we need to take special care with prune_shallow(), which
relies on us having performed the traversal. So this optimization can
only kick in for a non-shallow repository. Since this is easy to get
wrong and is not covered by existing tests, let's add an extra test to
t5304 that covers this case explicitly.

1c5e94f459 tests: use 'test_must_be_empty' instead of 'test_cmp <empty> <out>'
Using 'test_must_be_empty' is shorter and more idiomatic than

  >empty &&
  test_cmp empty out

as it saves the creation of an empty file.  Furthermore, sometimes the
expected empty file doesn't have such a descriptive name like 'empty',
and its creation is far away from the place where it's finally used
for comparison (e.g. in 't7600-merge.sh', where two expected empty
files are created in the 'setup' test, but are used only about 500
lines later).

These cases were found by instrumenting 'test_cmp' to error out the
test script when it's used to compare empty files, and then converted
manually.

Note that even after this patch there still remain a lot of cases
where we use 'test_cmp' to check empty files:

  - Sometimes the expected output is not hard-coded in the test, but
    'test_cmp' is used to ensure that two similar git commands produce
    the same output, and that output happens to be empty, e.g. the
    test 'submodule update --merge  - ignores --merge  for new
    submodules' in 't7406-submodule-update.sh'.

  - Repetitive common tasks, including preparing the expected results
    and running 'test_cmp', are often extracted into a helper
    function, and some of this helper's callsites expect no output.

  - For the same reason as above, the whole 'test_expect_success'
    block is within a helper function, e.g. in 't3070-wildmatch.sh'.

  - Or 'test_cmp' is invoked in a loop, e.g. the test 'cvs update
    (-p)' in 't9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh'.

"git gc --prune=nonsense" spent long time repacking and then

8ab5aa4bd8 parseopt: handle malformed --expire arguments more nicely
A few commands that parse --expire=<time> command line option behave
sillily when given nonsense input.  For example

    $ git prune --no-expire
    Segmentation falut
    $ git prune --expire=npw; echo $?
    129

Both come from parse_opt_expiry_date_cb().

The former is because the function is not prepared to see arg==NULL
(for "--no-expire", it is a norm; "--expire" at the end of the
command line could be made to pass NULL, if it is told that the
argument is optional, but we don't so we do not have to worry about
that case).

The latter is because it does not check the value returned from the
underlying parse_expiry_date().

This seems to be a recent regression introduced while we attempted
to avoid spewing the entire usage message when given a correct
option but with an invalid value at 3bb0923f ("parse-options: do not
show usage upon invalid option value", 2018-03-22).  Before that, we
didn't fail silently but showed a full usage help (which arguably is
not all that better).

Also catch this error early when "git gc --prune=<expiration>" is
misspelled by doing a dummy parsing before the main body of "gc"
that is time consuming even begins.  Otherwise, we'd spend time to
pack objects and then later have "git prune" first notice the error.
Aborting "gc" in the middle that way is not harmful but is ugly and
can be avoided.

acd9544a8f revision.c: --reflog add HEAD reflog from all worktrees
Note that add_other_reflogs_to_pending() is a bit inefficient, since
it scans reflog for all refs of each worktree, including shared refs,
so the shared ref's reflog is scanned over and over again.

We could update refs API to pass "per-worktree only" flag to avoid
that. But long term we should be able to obtain a "per-worktree only"
ref store and would need to revert the changes in reflog iteration
API. So let's just wait until then.

add_reflogs_to_pending() is called by reachable.c so by default "git
prune" will examine reflog from all worktrees.

d0c39a49cc revision.c: --all adds HEAD from all worktrees
Unless single_worktree is set, --all now adds HEAD from all worktrees.

Since reachable.c code does not use setup_revisions(), we need to call
other_head_refs_submodule() explicitly there to have the same effect on
"git prune", so that we won't accidentally delete objects needed by some
other HEADs.

A new FIXME is added because we would need something like

    int refs_other_head_refs(struct ref_store *, each_ref_fn, cb_data);

in addition to other_head_refs() to handle it, which might require

    int get_submodule_worktrees(const char *submodule, int flags);

It could be a separate topic to reduce the scope of this one.

213ea1161c t/t5304-prune.sh: use the $( ... ) construct for command substitution
The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.

The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX.  However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly.  In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.

The patch was generated by:

for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
	perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg'  "${_f}"
done

and then carefully proof-read.

f813e9ea5f for_each_packed_object: automatically open pack index
When for_each_packed_object is called, we call
prepare_packed_git() to make sure we have the actual list of
packs. But the latter does not actually open the pack
indices, meaning that pack->nr_objects may simply be 0 if
the pack has not otherwise been used since the program
started.

In practice, this didn't come up for the current callers,
because they iterate the packed objects only after iterating
all reachable objects (so for it to matter you would have to
have a pack consisting only of unreachable objects). But it
is a dangerous and confusing interface that should be fixed
for future callers.

Note that we do not end the iteration when a pack cannot be
opened, but we do return an error. That lets you complete
the iteration even in actively-repacked repository where an
.idx file may racily go away, but it also lets callers know
that they may not have gotten the complete list (which the
current reachability-check caller does care about).

We have to tweak one of the prune tests due to the changed
return value; an earlier test creates bogus .idx files and
does not clean them up. Having to make this tweak is a good
thing; it means we will not prune in a broken repository,
and the test confirms that we do not negatively impact a
more lenient caller, count-objects.

b0a4264277 sha1_file: fix iterating loose alternate objects
The string in 'base' contains a path suffix to a specific object;
when its value is used, the suffix must either be filled (as in
stat_sha1_file, open_sha1_file, check_and_freshen_nonlocal) or
cleared (as in prepare_packed_git) to avoid junk at the end.

660c889e (sha1_file: add for_each iterators for loose and packed
objects, 2014-10-15) introduced loose_from_alt_odb(), but this did
neither and treated 'base' as a complete path to the "base" object
directory, instead of a pointer to the "base" of the full path
string.

The trailing path after 'base' is still initialized to NUL, hiding
the bug in some common cases.  Additionally the descendent
for_each_file_in_obj_subdir() function swallows ENOENT, so an error
only shows if the alternate's path was last filled with a valid
object (where statting /path/to/existing/00/0bjectfile/00 fails).

21926fe885 t5304-prune: adjust file mtime based on system time rather than file mtime
test-chmtime can adjust the mtime of a file based on the file's mtime, or
based on the system time. For files accessed over NFS, the file's mtime is
set by the NFS server, and as such may vary a great deal from the NFS
client's system time if the clocks of the client and server are out of
sync. Since these tests are testing the expire feature of git-prune, an
incorrect mtime could cause a file to be expired or not expired incorrectly
and produce a test failure.

Avoid this NFS pitfall by modifying the calls to test-chmtime so that the
mtime is adjusted based on the system time, rather than the file's mtime.

a short usage and exits: instead, it should take those revisions into
account and not prune them. So add a couple of test to point this out.

We'll be fixing this by switching to parse_options(), so add tests to
detect bogus command line parameters as well, to keep ourselves from
introducing regressions.

25ee9731c1 gc: call "prune --expire 2.weeks.ago" by default
The only reason we did not call "prune" in git-gc was that it is an
inherently dangerous operation: if there is a commit going on, you will
prune loose objects that were just created, and are, in fact, needed by the
commit object just about to be created.

Since it is dangerous, we told users so.  That led to many users not even
daring to run it when it was actually safe. Besides, they are users, and
should not have to remember such details as when to call git-gc with
--prune, or to call git-prune directly.

Of course, the consequence was that "git gc --auto" gets triggered much
more often than we would like, since unreferenced loose objects (such as
left-overs from a rebase or a reset --hard) were never pruned.

Alas, git-prune recently learnt the option --expire <minimum-age>, which
makes it a much safer operation.  This allows us to call prune from git-gc,
with a grace period of 2 weeks for the unreferenced loose objects (this
value was determined in a discussion on the git list as a safe one).

If you want to override this grace period, just set the config variable
gc.pruneExpire to a different value; an example would be

	[gc]
		pruneExpire = 6.months.ago

or even "never", if you feel really paranoid.

Note that this new behaviour makes "--prune" be a no-op.

While adding a test to t5304-prune.sh (since it really tests the implicit
call to "prune"), also the original test for "prune --expire" was moved
there from t1410-reflog.sh, where it did not belong.

8464010f97 Make git prune remove temporary packs that look like write failures
Write errors when repacking (eg, due to out-of-space conditions)
can leave temporary packs (and possibly other files beginning
with "tmp_") lying around which no existing
codepath removes and which aren't obvious to the casual user.
These can also be multi-megabyte files wasting noticeable space.
Unfortunately there's no way to definitely tell in builtin-prune
that a tmp_ file is not being used by a concurrent process,
such as a fetch. However, it is documented that pruning should
only be done on a quiet repository and --expire is honoured
(using code from Johannes Schindelin, along with a test case
he wrote) so that its safety is the same as that of loose
object pruning.

Since they might be signs of a problem (unlike orphaned loose
objects) the names of any removed files are printed.
