Even if we did that, clobbering the "diff_files_args.nr" with the

Let's move it over, and while doing so make it easier to reason about

This also has the advantage that we stop wasting future translator

Address the root cause of technical debt we've been carrying since
sha1collisiondetection was made the default in [1]. In a preceding
commit we narrowly fixed a bug where the "DC_SHA1" variable would be
unset (in combination with "NO_APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO=" on OSX), even
though we had the sha1collisiondetection library enabled.
But the only reason we needed to have such a user-exposed knob went
away with [1], and it's been doing nothing useful since then. We don't
care if you define DC_SHA1=*, we only care that you don't ask for any
other SHA-1 implementation. If it turns out that you didn't, we'll use
sha1collisiondetection, whether you had "DC_SHA1" set or not.
As a result of this being confusing we had e.g. [2] for cmake and the
recent [3] for ci/lib.sh setting "DC_SHA1" explicitly, even though
this was always a NOOP.
A much simpler way to do this is to stop having the Makefile and
CMakeLists.txt set "DC_SHA1" to be picked up by the test-lib.sh, let's
instead add a trivial "test-tool sha1-is-sha1dc". It returns zero if
we're using sha1collisiondetection, non-zero otherwise.

For the *_SHA1 and *_SHA256 flags we've discussed the various flags,
but not the fact that when you define multiple flags we'll pick one.
Which one we pick depends on the order they're listed in the Makefile,
which differed from the order we discussed them in this documentation.
Let's be explicit about how we select these, and re-arrange the
listings so that they're listed in the priority order we've picked.
I'd personally prefer that the selection was more explicit, and that
we'd error out if conflicting flags were provided, but per the
discussion downhtread of[1] the consensus was to keep theses semantics.
This behavior makes it easier to e.g. integrate with autoconf-like
systems, where the configuration can provide everything it can
support, and Git is tasked with picking the first one it prefers.

The claim that DC_SHA1 takes priority over other *_SHA1 knobs was true
when it was added in [1], But that hasn't been the case since it was
made the fallback default in [2].
We should be making it not only the default, but something that takes
priority over other *_SHA1 knobs, but that's outside the scope of this
change. For now let's correct the documentation to match reality.
Let's also remove the "unconditionally enable" wording, per the above
the enabling of "DC_SHA1" is conditional on these other flags.
The "Define DC_SHA1" here is also a lie, actually it's "we don't care
if you define DC_SHA1, just don't define anything else", but that's a
more general issue that'll be addressed in a subsequent commit. Let's

Fix an edge case introduced in in e6b07da278 (Makefile: make DC_SHA1
the default, 2017-03-17), when DC_SHA1 was made the default fallback
we started unconditionally adding to BASIC_CFLAGS and LIB_OBJS, so
we'd use the sha1collisiondetection by default.
But the "DC_SHA1" variable remained unset, so e.g.:
make test DC_SHA1= T=t0013*.sh
Would skip the sha1collisiondetection tests, as we'd write
"DC_SHA1=''" to "GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS", but if we manually removed that
test prerequisite we'd pass the test (which we couldn't if we weren't
using sha1collisiondetection).
So let's have the fallback assignment use the 'override' directive
instead of the ":=" simply expanded variable introduced in
e6b07da278. In this case we explicitly want to override the user's
choice.

Once upon a time, Matheus wrote some patches to make
git grep [--cached | <REVISION>] ...
restrict its output to the sparsity specification when working in a
sparse checkout[1]. That effort got derailed by two things:
(1) The --sparse-index work just beginning which we wanted to avoid
creating conflicts for
(2) Never deciding on flag and config names and planned high level
behavior for all commands.
More recently, Shaoxuan implemented a more limited form of Matheus'
patches that only affected --cached, using a different flag name,
but also changing the default behavior in line with what Matheus did.
This again highlighted the fact that we never decided on command line
flag names, config option names, and the big picture path forward.
The --sparse-index work has been mostly complete (or at least released
into production even if some small edges remain) for quite some time
now. We have also had several discussions on flag and config names,

In b3b1a21d1a (sequencer: rewrite update-refs as user edits todo list,
2022-07-19), the 'todo_list_filter_update_refs()' step was added to handle
the removal of 'update-ref' lines from a 'rebase-todo'. Specifically, it
removes potential ref updates from the "update refs state" if a ref does not
have a corresponding 'update-ref' line.
However, because 'write_update_refs_state()' will not update the state if
the 'refs_to_oids' list was empty, removing *all* 'update-ref' lines will
result in the state remaining unchanged from how it was initialized (with
all refs' "after" OID being null). Then, when the ref update is applied, all
refs will be updated to null and consequently deleted.
To fix this, delete the 'update-refs' state file when 'refs_to_oids' is
empty. Additionally, add a tests covering "all update-ref lines removed"
cases.

This commit fixes a bug when parsing tags that have CRLF line endings, a
signature, and no body, like this (the "^M" are marking the CRs):
this is the subject^M
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----^M
^M
...some stuff...^M
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----^M
When trying to find the start of the body, we look for a blank line
separating the subject and body. In this case, there isn't one. But we
search for it using strstr(), which will find the blank line in the
signature.
In the non-CRLF code path, we check whether the line we found is past
the start of the signature, and if so, put the body pointer at the start
of the signature (effectively making the body empty). But the CRLF code
path doesn't catch the same case, and we end up with the body pointer in
the middle of the signature field. This has two visible problems:
- printing %(contents:subject) will show part of the signature, too,
since the subject length is computed as (body - subject)
- the length of the body is (sig - body), which makes it negative.
Asking for %(contents:body) causes us to cast this to a very large
size_t when we feed it to xmemdupz(), which then complains about
trying to allocate too much memory.
These are essentially the same bugs fixed in the previous commit, except
that they happen when there is a CRLF blank line in the signature,
rather than no blank line at all. Both are caused by the refactoring in
9f75ce3d8f (ref-filter: handle CRLF at end-of-line more gracefully,
2020-10-29).
We can fix this by doing the same "sigstart" check that we do in the
non-CRLF case. And rather than repeat ourselves, we can just use
short-circuiting OR to collapse both cases into a single conditional.
I.e., rather than:
if (strstr("\n\n"))
...found blank, check if it's in signature...
else if (strstr("\r\n\r\n"))
...found blank, check if it's in signature...
else
...no blank line found...
we can collapse this to:
if (strstr("\n\n")) ||
strstr("\r\n\r\n")))
...found blank, check if it's in signature...
else
...no blank line found...
The tests show the problem and the fix. Though it wasn't broken, I
included contents:signature here to make sure it still behaves as
expected, but note the shell hackery needed to make it work. A
less-clever option would be to skip using test_atom and just "append_cr
>expected" ourselves.

When ref-filter is asked to show %(content:subject), etc, we end up in
find_subpos() to parse out the three major parts: the subject, the body,
and the signature (if any).
When searching for the blank line between the subject and body, if we
don't find anything, we try to treat the whole message as the subject,
with no body. But our idea of "the whole message" needs to take into
account the signature, too. Since 9f75ce3d8f (ref-filter: handle CRLF at
end-of-line more gracefully, 2020-10-29), the code instead goes all the
way to the end of the buffer, which produces confusing output.
Here's an example. If we have a tag message like this:
this is the subject
-----BEGIN SSH SIGNATURE-----
...some stuff...
-----END SSH SIGNATURE-----
then the current parser will put the start of the body at the end of the
whole buffer. This produces two buggy outcomes:
- since the subject length is computed as (body - subject), showing
%(contents:subject) will print both the subject and the signature,
rather than just the single line
- since the body length is computed as (sig - body), and the body now
starts _after_ the signature, we end up with a negative length!
Fortunately we never access out-of-bounds memory, because the
negative length is fed to xmemdupz(), which casts it to a size_t,
and xmalloc() bails trying to allocate an absurdly large value.
In theory it would be possible for somebody making a malicious tag
to wrap it around to a more reasonable value, but it would require a
tag on the order of 2^63 bytes. And even if they did, all they get
is an out of bounds string read. So the security implications are
probably not interesting.
We can fix both by correctly putting the start of the body at the same
index as the start of the signature (effectively making the body empty).
Note that this is a real issue with signatures generated with gpg.format
set to "ssh", which would look like the example above. In the new tests
here I use a hard-coded tag message, for a few reasons:
- regardless of what the ssh-signing code produces now or in the
future, we should be testing this particular case
- skipping the actual signature makes the tests simpler to write (and
allows them to run on more systems)
- t6300 has helpers for working with gpg signatures; for the purposes
of this bug, "BEGIN PGP" is just as good a demonstration, and this
simplifies the tests
Curiously, the same issue doesn't happen with real gpg signatures (and
there are even existing tests in t6300 with cover this). Those have a
blank line between the header and the content, like:
this is the subject
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
...some stuff...
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Because we search for the subject/body separator line with a strstr(),
we find the blank line in the signature, even though it's outside of
what we'd consider the body. But that puts us unto a separate code path,
which realizes that we're now in the signature and adjusts the line back
to "sigstart". So this patch is basically just making the "no line found
at all" case match that. And note that "sigstart" is always defined (if
there is no signature, it points to the end of the buffer as you'd
expect).

Add a rather trivial "spatchcache", with this running e.g.:
make cocciclean
make contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch \
SPATCH=contrib/coccicheck/spatchcache \
SPATCH_FLAGS=--very-quiet
Is cut down from ~20s to ~5s on my system. Much of that is either
fixable shell overhead, or the around 40 files we "CANTCACHE" (see the
implementation).
This uses "redis" as a cache by default, but it's configurable. See
the embedded documentation.
This is *not* like ccache in that we won't cache failed spatch
invocations, or those where spatch suggests changes for us. Those
cases are so rare that I didn't think it was worth the bother, by far
the most common case is that it has no suggested changes. We'll also
refuse to cache any "spatch" invocation that has output on stderr,
which means that "--very-quiet" must be added to "SPATCH_FLAGS".
Because we narrow the cache to that we don't need to save away stdout,
stderr & the exit code. We simply cache the cases where we had no
suggested changes.
Another benchmark is to compare this with the previous
SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE=N, as noted in [1]. Before this (on my 8 core system) running:
make clean; time make contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci.patch SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE=0
Would take 33s, but with the preceding changes running without this
"spatchcache" is slightly slower, or around 35s:
make clean; time make contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci.patch
Now doing the same with SPATCH=contrib/coccinelle/spatchcache will
take around 6s, but we'll need to compile the *.o files first to take
full advantage of it (which can be fast with "ccache"):
make clean; make; time make contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci.patch SPATCH=contrib/coccinelle/spatchcache

This can be turned off with SPATCH_CONCAT_COCCI, but as the
beneficiaries of "SPATCH_CONCAT_COCCI=" would mainly be those
developing the *.cocci rules themselves, let's leave this optimization
on by default.
For more information see my "Optimizing *.cocci rules by concat'ing
them" (<220901.8635dbjfko.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com>) on the
cocci@inria.fr mailing list.
This potentially changes the results of our *.cocci rules, but as
noted in that discussion it should be safe for our use. We don't name
rules, or if we do their names don't conflict across our *.cocci
files.
To the extent that we'd have any inter-dependencies between rules this
doesn't make that worse, as we'd have them now if we ran "make
coccicheck", applied the results, and would then have (due to
hypothetical interdependencies) suggested changes on the subsequent
"make coccicheck".
Our "coccicheck-test" target makes use of the ALL.cocci when running
tests, e.g. when testing unused.{c,out} we test it against ALL.cocci,
not unused.cocci. We thus assert (to the extent that we have test
coverage) that this concatenation doesn't change the expected results
of running these rules.

The <id> in the <rulename> part of the coccinelle syntax[1] is for our
purposes there to declares if we have inter-dependencies between
different rules.
But such <id>'s must be unique within a given semantic patch file. As
we'll be processing a concatenated version of our rules in the
subsequent commit let's remove these names. They weren't being used
for the semantic patches themselves, and equated to a short comment
about the rule.
Both the filename and context of the rules makes it clear what they're
doing, so we're not gaining anything from keeping these. Retaining
them goes against recommendations that "contrib/coccinelle/README"
will be making in the subsequent commit.
This leaves only one named rule in our sources, where it's needed for
a "<id> <-> <extends> <id>" relationship:

Change the "coccinelle" rule so that we first copy the *.cocci source
in e.g. "contrib/coccinelle/strbuf.cocci" to
".build/contrib/coccinelle/strbuf.cocci" before operating on it.
For now this serves as a rather pointless indirection, but prepares us
for the subsequent commit where we'll be able to inject generated
*.cocci files. Having the entire dependency tree live inside .build/*
simplifies both the globbing we'd need to do, and any "clean" rules.
It will also help for future targets which will want to act on the
generated patches or the logs, e.g. targets to alert if we can't parse
certain files (or, less so than usual) with "spatch", and e.g. a
replacement for "ci/run-static-analysis.sh". Such a replacement won't
care about placing the patches in the in-tree, only whether they're
"OK" (and about the diff).

Improve the incremental rebuilding support of "coccicheck" by
piggy-backing on the computed dependency information of the
corresponding *.o file, rather than rebuilding all <RULE>/<FILE> pairs
if either their corresponding file changes, or if any header changes.
This in effect uses the same method that the "sparse" target was made
to use in c234e8a0ec (Makefile: make the "sparse" target non-.PHONY,
2021-09-23), except that the dependency on the *.o file isn't a hard
one, we check with $(wildcard) if the *.o file exists, and if so we'll
depend on it.
This means that the common case of:
make
make coccicheck
Will benefit from incremental rebuilding, now changing e.g. a header
will only re-run "spatch" on those those *.c files that make use of
it:
By depending on the *.o we piggy-back on
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES. See c234e8a0ec (Makefile: make the
"sparse" target non-.PHONY, 2021-09-23) for prior art of doing that
for the *.sp files. E.g.:
make contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
make -W column.h contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
Will take around 15 seconds for the second command on my 8 core box if
I didn't run "make" beforehand to create the *.o files. But around 2
seconds if I did and we have those "*.o" files.
Notes about the approach of piggy-backing on *.o for dependencies:
* It *is* a trade-off since we'll pay the extra cost of running the C
compiler, but we're probably doing that anyway. The compiler is much
faster than "spatch", so even though we need to re-compile the *.o to
create the dependency info for the *.c for "spatch" it's
faster (especially if using "ccache").
* There *are* use-cases where some would like to have *.o files
around, but to have the "make coccicheck" ignore them. See:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220826104312.GJ1735@szeder.dev/
For those users a:
make
make coccicheck SPATCH_USE_O_DEPENDENCIES=
Will avoid considering the *.o files.
* If that *.o file doesn't exist we'll depend on an intermediate file
of ours which in turn depends on $(FOUND_H_SOURCES).
This covers both an initial build, or where "coccicheck" is run
without running "all" beforehand, and because we run "coccicheck"
on e.g. files in compat/* that we don't know how to build unless
the requisite flag was provided to the Makefile.
Most of the runtime of "incremental" runs is now spent on various
compat/* files, i.e. we conditionally add files to COMPAT_OBJS, and
therefore conflate whether we *can* compile an object and generate
dependency information for it with whether we'd like to link it
into our binary.
Before this change the distinction didn't matter, but now one way
to make this even faster on incremental builds would be to peel
those concerns apart so that we can see that e.g. compat/mmap.c
doesn't depend on column.h.

Optimize the very slow "coccicheck" target to take advantage of
incremental rebuilding, and fix outstanding dependency problems with
the existing rule.
The rule is now faster both on the initial run as we can make better
use of GNU make's parallelism than the old ad-hoc combination of
make's parallelism combined with $(SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE) and/or the
"--jobs" argument to "spatch(1)".
It also makes us *much* faster when incrementally building, it's now
viable to "make coccicheck" as topic branches are merged down.
The rule didn't use FORCE (or its equivalents) before, so a:
make coccicheck
make coccicheck
Would report nothing to do on the second iteration. But all of our
patch output depended on all $(COCCI_SOURCES) files, therefore e.g.:
make -W grep.c coccicheck
Would do a full re-run, i.e. a a change in a single file would force
us to do a full re-run.
The reason for this (not the initial rationale, but my analysis) is:
* Since we create a single "*.cocci.patch+" we don't know where to
pick up where we left off, or how to incrementally merge e.g. a
"grep.c" change with an existing *.cocci.patch.
* We've been carrying forward the dependency on the *.c files since
63f0a758a0 (add coccicheck make target, 2016-09-15) the rule was
initially added as a sort of poor man's dependency discovery.
As we don't include other *.c files depending on other *.c files
has always been broken, as could be trivially demonstrated
e.g. with:
make coccicheck
make -W strbuf.h coccicheck
However, depending on the corresponding *.c files has been doing
something, namely that *if* an API change modified both *.c and *.h
files we'd catch the change to the *.h we care about via the *.c
being changed.
For API changes that happened only via *.h files we'd do the wrong
thing before this change, but e.g. for function additions (not
"static inline" ones) catch the *.h change by proxy.
Now we'll instead:
* Create a <RULE>/<FILE> pair in the .build directory, E.g. for
swap.cocci and grep.c we'll create
.build/contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci.patch/grep.c.
That file is the diff we'll apply for that <RULE>-<FILE>
combination, if there's no changes to me made (the common case)
it'll be an empty file.
* Our generated *.patch
file (e.g. contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci.patch) is now a simple "cat
$^" of all of all of the <RULE>/<FILE> files for a given <RULE>.
In the case discussed above of "grep.c" being changed we'll do the
full "cat" every time, so they resulting *.cocci.patch will always
be correct and up-to-date, even if it's "incrementally updated".
See 1cc0425a27 (Makefile: have "make pot" not "reset --hard",
2022-05-26) for another recent rule that used that technique.
As before we'll:
* End up generating a contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci.patch, if we
"fail" by creating a non-empty patch we'll still exit with a zero
exit code.
Arguably we should move to a more Makefile-native way of doing
this, i.e. fail early, and if we want all of the "failed" changes
we can use "make -k", but as the current
"ci/run-static-analysis.sh" expects us to behave this way let's
keep the existing behavior of exhaustively discovering all cocci
changes, and only failing if spatch itself errors out.
Further implementation details & notes:
* Before this change running "make coccicheck" would by default end
up pegging just one CPU at the very end for a while, usually as
we'd finish whichever *.cocci rule was the most expensive.
This could be mitigated by combining "make -jN" with
SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE, see 960154b9c1 (coccicheck: optionally batch
spatch invocations, 2019-05-06).
There will be cases where getting rid of "SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE" makes
things worse, but a from-scratch "make coccicheck" with the default
of SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE=1 (and tweaking it doesn't make a difference)
is faster (~3m36s v.s. ~3m56s) with this approach, as we can feed
the CPU more work in a less staggered way.
* Getting rid of "SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE" particularly helps in cases
where the default of 1 yields parallelism under "make coccicheck",
but then running e.g.:
make -W contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci coccicheck
I.e. before that would use only one CPU core, until the user
remembered to adjust "SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE" differently than the
setting that makes sense when doing a non-incremental run of "make
coccicheck".
* Before the "make coccicheck" rule would have to clean
"contrib/coccinelle/*.cocci.patch*", since we'd create "*+" and
"*.log" files there. Now those are created in
.build/contrib/coccinelle/, which is covered by the "cocciclean" rule
already.
Outstanding issues & future work:
* We could get rid of "--all-includes" in favor of manually
specifying a list of includes to give to "spatch(1)".
As noted upthread of [1] a naïve removal of "--all-includes" will
result in broken *.cocci patches, but if we know the exhaustive
list of includes via COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES we don't need to
re-scan for them, we could grab the headers to include from the
.depend.d/<file>.o.d and supply them with the "--include" option to
spatch(1).q

Per the rationale in 7b63ea5750 (Makefile: remove mandatory "spatch"
arguments from SPATCH_FLAGS, 2022-07-05) we have certain flags that
are truly mandatory, such as "--sp-file" and "--patch .". The
"--all-includes" flag is also critical, but per [1] we might want to
ad-hoc tweak it occasionally for testing or one-offs.
But being unable to set e.g. SPATCH_FLAGS="--verbose-parsing" without
breaking how our "spatch" works isn't ideal, i.e. before this we'd
need to know about the default include flags, and specify:
SPATCH_FLAGS="--all-includes --verbose-parsing".
If we were then to change the default include flag (e.g. to
"--recursive-includes") in the future any such one-off commands would
need to be correspondingly updated.
Let's instead leave the SPATCH_FLAGS for the user, while creating a
new SPATCH_INCLUDE_FLAGS to allow for ad-hoc testing of the include
strategy itself.

code and make it less repetitive.
Note that the second hunk in diff_flush() is interesting, because the
'free_queue' label separates the loop freeing the queue's filepairs
from free()-ing the queue's internal array. This is somewhat
suspicious, but it was not an issue before: there is only one place
from where we jump to this label with a goto, and that is protected by
an 'if (!q->nr && ...)' condition, i.e. we only skipped the loop

When processing a non-merge commit, the line-level log first asks the
tree-diff machinery whether any of the files in the given line ranges
were modified between the current commit and its parent, and if some
of them were, then it loads the contents of those files from both
commits to see whether their line ranges were modified and/or need to
be adjusted. Alas, it doesn't free() the diff queue holding the
results of that query and the contents of those files once its done.
This can add up to a substantial amount of leaked memory, especially
when the file in question is big and is frequently modified: a user
reported "Out of memory, malloc failed" errors with a 2MB text file
that was modified ~2800 times [1] (I estimate the leak would use up
almost 11GB memory in that case).
Free that diff queue to plug this memory leak. However, instead of
simply open-coding the necessary three lines, add them as a helper
function to the diff API, because it will be useful elsewhere as well.

Commit 6dcbdc0d66 (remote: create fetch.credentialsInUrl config,
2022-06-06) added tests for our handling of passwords in URLs. Since the
obvious URL to be affected is git-over-http, the tests use http. However
they don't set up a test server; they just try to access
https://localhost, assuming it will fail (because the nothing is
listening there).
This causes some possible problems:
- There might be a web server running on localhost, and we do not
actually want to connect to that.
- The DNS resolver, or the local firewall, might take a substantial
amount of time (or forever, whichever comes first) to fail to
connect, slowing down the tests cases unnecessarily.
- Since there's no server, our tests for "allow" and "warn" still
expect the clone/fetch/push operations to fail, even though in the
real world we'd expect these to succeed. We scrape stderr to see
what happened, but it's not as robust as a more realistic test.
Let's instead move these to t5551, which is all about testing http and
where we have a real server. That eliminates any issues with contacting
a strange URL, and lets the "allow" and "warn" tests confirm that the
operation actually succeeds.
It's not quite a verbatim move for a few reasons:
- we can drop the LIBCURL dependency; it's already part of
lib-httpd.sh
- we'll use HTTPD_URL_USER_PASS, etc, instead of our fake URL. To
avoid repetition, we'll add a few extra variables.
- the "https://username:@localhost" test uses a funny URL that
lib-httpd.sh doesn't provide. We'll similarly construct it in a
variable. Note that we're hard-coding the lib-httpd username here,
but t5551 already does that everywhere.
- for the "domain:port" test, the URL provided by lib-httpd is fine,
since our test server will always be on an exotic port. But we'll
confirm in the test that this is so.
- since our message-matching is done via grep, I simplified it to use
a regex, rather than trying to massage lib-httpd's variables.
Arguably this makes it more readable, too, while retaining the bits
we care about: the fatal/warning distinction, the "uses plaintext"
message, and the fact that the password was redacted.
- we'll use the /auth/ path for the repo, which shows that we are
indeed making use of the auth information when needed.
- we'll also use /smart/; most of these tests could be done via /dumb/
in t5550, but setting up pushes there requires extra effort and
dependencies. The smart protocol is what most everyone is using
these days anyway.
This patch is my own, but I stole the analysis and a few bits of the

This history leaves us in a state where we assert that we have exactly

Rebuilding the 'jch' branch begins by reintegrating any topics between

In the maintainer guide, the documentation isn't quite right, since the
initial input to Meta/Reintegrate is "master..seen", not "master..jch".
This can lead to confusing results when generating the Meta/redo-jch.sh
script for the first time.
Additionally, rebuilding 'jch' takes place in two steps. First, running
the script up to the first "### match next" cut-line, and then comparing
the result with what's on 'next' (i.e. with "git diff jch next"). Then,
the remaining set of topics get merged down to 'jch' (which aren't on
'next') by running the entire "redo-jch.sh" script.
