When passing the same packfile both as included and excluded via the
`--stdin-packs` option, then we will return an error because the
excluded packfile cannot be found. This is because we will only set the
`util` pointer for the included packfile list if it was found, so that
we later die when we notice that it's in fact not set for the excluded
packfile list.
Fix this bug by always setting the `util` pointer for both the included
and excluded list entries.

When passed the same packfile twice via `--stdin-packs` we return an
error that the packfile supposedly was not found. This is because when
reading packs into the list of included or excluded packfiles, we will
happily re-add packfiles even if they are part of the lists already. And
while the list can now contain duplicates, we will only set the `util`
pointer of the first list entry to the `packed_git` structure. We notice
that at a later point when checking that all list entries have their
`util` pointer set and die with an error.
While this is kind of a nonsensical request, this scenario can be hit
when doing geometric repacks. When a repository is connected to an
alternate object directory and both have the exact same packfile then
both would get added to the geometric sequence. And when we then decide
to perform the repack, we will invoke git-pack-objects(1) with the same
packfile twice.
Fix this bug by removing any duplicates from both the included and
excluded packs.

When writing the multi-pack-index with geometric repacking we will add
all packfiles to the index that are part of the geometric sequence. This
can potentially also include packfiles borrowed from an alternate object
directory. But given that a multi-pack-index can only ever include packs
that are part of the main object database this does not make much sense
whatsoever.
In the edge case where all packfiles are contained in the alternate
object database and the local repository has none itself this bug can
cause us to invoke git-multi-pack-index(1) with only non-local packfiles
that it ultimately cannot find. This causes it to return an error and
thus causes the geometric repack to fail.
Fix the code to skip non-local packfiles.

When doing a geometric repack with multi-pack-indices, then we ask
git-multi-pack-index(1) to use the largest packfile as the preferred
pack. It can happen though that the largest packfile is not part of the
main object database, but instead part of an alternate object database.
The result is that git-multi-pack-index(1) will not be able to find the
preferred pack and print a warning. It then falls back to use the first
packfile that the multi-pack-index shall reference.
Fix this bug by only considering packfiles as preferred pack that are
local. This is the right thing to do given that a multi-pack-index
should never reference packfiles borrowed from an alternate.
While at it, rename the function `get_largest_active_packfile()` to
`get_preferred_pack()` to better document its intent.

When asked to write a multi-pack-index the user can specify a preferred
pack that is used as a tie breaker when multiple packs contain the same
objects. When this packfile cannot be found, we just pick the first pack
that is getting tracked by the newly written multi-pack-index as a
fallback.
Picking the fallback can fail in the case where we're asked to write a
multi-pack-index with no packfiles at all: picking the fallback value
will cause a segfault as we blindly index into the array of packfiles,
which would be empty.
Fix this bug by resetting the preferred packfile index to `-1` before
searching for the preferred pack. This fixes the segfault as we already
check for whether the index is `> - 1`. If it is not, we simply don't
pick a preferred packfile at all.

Back in e8c58f894b (t: support GIT_TEST_WRITE_REV_INDEX, 2021-01-25), we
added a test knob to conditionally enable writing a ".rev" file when
indexing a pack. At the time, this was used to ensure that the test
suite worked even when ".rev" files were written, which served as a
stress-test for the on-disk reverse index implementation.
Now that reading from on-disk ".rev" files is enabled by default, the
test knob `GIT_TEST_WRITE_REV_INDEX` no longer has any meaning.
We could get rid of the option entirely, but there would be no
convenient way to test Git when ".rev" files *aren't* in place.
Instead of getting rid of the option, invert its meaning to instead
disable writing ".rev" files, thereby running the test suite in a mode
where the reverse index is generated from scratch.
This ensures that, when GIT_TEST_NO_WRITE_REV_INDEX is set to some
spelling of "true", we are still running and exercising Git's behavior
when forced to generate reverse indexes from scratch. Do so by setting
it in the linux-TEST-vars CI run to ensure that we are maintaining good
coverage of this now-legacy code.

Back in e37d0b8730 (builtin/index-pack.c: write reverse indexes,
2021-01-25), Git learned how to read and write a pack's reverse index
from a file instead of in-memory.
A pack's reverse index is a mapping from pack position (that is, the
order that objects appear together in a ".pack") to their position in
lexical order (that is, the order that objects are listed in an ".idx"
file).
Reverse indexes are consulted often during pack-objects, as well as
during auxiliary operations that require mapping between pack offsets,
pack order, and index index.
They are useful in GitHub's infrastructure, where we have seen a
dramatic increase in performance when writing ".rev" files[1]. In
particular:
- an ~80% reduction in the time it takes to serve fetches on a popular
repository, Homebrew/homebrew-core.
- a ~60% reduction in the peak memory usage to serve fetches on that
same repository.
- a collective savings of ~35% in CPU time across all pack-objects
invocations serving fetches across all repositories in a single
datacenter.
Reverse indexes are also beneficial to end-users as well as forges. For
example, the time it takes to generate a pack containing the objects for
the 10 most recent commits in linux.git (representing a typical push) is
significantly faster when on-disk reverse indexes are available:
$ { git rev-parse HEAD && printf '^' && git rev-parse HEAD~10 } >in
$ hyperfine -L v false,true 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex={v} pack-objects --delta-base-offset --revs --stdout <in >/dev/null'

2.22 ± 0.13 times faster than 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false pack-objects --delta-base-offset --revs --stdout <in >/dev/null'
The same is true of writing a pack containing the objects for the 30
most-recent commits:

a single (packed) object are even more dramatic:

In the more than two years since e37d0b8730 was merged, Git's
implementation of on-disk reverse indexes has been thoroughly tested,
both from users enabling `pack.writeReverseIndexes`, and from GitHub's
deployment of the feature. The latter has been running without incident
for more than two years.
This patch changes Git's behavior to write on-disk reverse indexes by
default when indexing a pack, which should make the above operations
faster for everybody's Git installation after a repack.
(The previous commit explains some potential drawbacks of using on-disk
reverse indexes in certain limited circumstances, that essentially boil
down to a trade-off between time to generate, and time to access. For
those limited cases, the `pack.readReverseIndex` escape hatch can be
used).

Since 1615c567b8 (Documentation/config/pack.txt: advertise
'pack.writeReverseIndex', 2021-01-25), we have had the
`pack.writeReverseIndex` configuration option, which tells Git whether
or not it is allowed to write a ".rev" file when indexing a pack.
Introduce a complementary configuration knob, `pack.readReverseIndex` to
control whether or not Git will read any ".rev" file(s) that may be
available on disk.
This option is useful for debugging, as well as disabling the effect of
".rev" files in certain instances.
This is useful because of the trade-off[^1] between the time it takes to
generate a reverse index (slow from scratch, fast when reading an
existing ".rev" file), and the time it takes to access a record (the
opposite).
For example, even though it is faster to use the on-disk reverse index
when computing the on-disk size of a packed object, it is slower to
enumerate the same value for all objects.
Here are a couple of examples from linux.git. When computing the above
for a single object, using the on-disk reverse index is significantly
faster:
$ git rev-parse HEAD >in
$ hyperfine -L v false,true 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex={v} cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <in'
Benchmark 1: git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <in

77.29 ± 7.14 times faster than 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <in'
, but when instead trying to compute the on-disk object size for all
objects in the repository, using the ".rev" file is a disadvantage over
creating the reverse index from scratch:
$ hyperfine -L v false,true 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex={v} cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects'
Benchmark 1: git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects

closer together:
$ hyperfine -L v false,true 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex={v} cat-file --unordered --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects'

Because the equilibrium point between these two is highly machine- and
repository-dependent, allow users to configure whether or not they will
read any ".rev" file(s) with this configuration knob.
[^1]: Generating a reverse index in memory takes O(N) time (where N is
the number of objects in the repository), since we use a radix sort.
Reading an entry from an on-disk ".rev" file is slower since each
operation is bound by disk I/O instead of memory I/O.
In order to compute the on-disk size of a packed object, we need to
find the offset of our object, and the adjacent object (the on-disk
size difference of these two). Finding the first offset requires a
binary search. Finding the latter involves a single .rev lookup.

In a future commit, we will introduce a `pack.readReverseIndex`
configuration, which forces Git to generate the reverse index from
scratch instead of loading it from disk.
In order to avoid reading this configuration value more than once, we'll
use the `repo_settings` struct to lazily load this value.
In order to access the `struct repo_settings`, add a repository argument
to `load_pack_revindex`, and update all callers to pass the correct
instance (in all cases, `the_repository`).
In certain instances, a new function-local variable is introduced to
take the place of a `struct repository *` argument to the function
itself to avoid propagating the new parameter even further throughout
the tree.

The function `stage_tmp_packfiles()` generates a filename to use for
staging the contents of what will become the pack's ".rev" file.
The name is generated in `write_rev_file_order()` (via its caller
`write_rev_file()`) in a string buffer, and the result is returned back
to `stage_tmp_packfiles()` which uses it to rename the temporary file
into place via `rename_tmp_packfiles()`.
That name is not visible outside of `stage_tmp_packfiles()`, so it can
(and should) be `free()`'d at the end of that function. We can't free it
in `rename_tmp_packfile()` since not all of its `source` arguments are
unreachable after calling it.
Instead, simply free() `rev_tmp_name` at the end of
`stage_tmp_packfiles()`.

This is exacerbated by the fact that Documentation/git-clone.txt
mentions neither restriction, so users are left wondering if this is
intentional behavior or not.
Fix this by adding a check to builtin/clone.c: when doing a local clone,
perform an extra check to see if "$GIT_DIR/objects" is a symlink, and if
so, assume that that was the reason for the failure and report the
relevant information. Ideally, dir_iterator_begin() would tell us that
the real failure reason is the presence of the symlink, but (as far as I
can tell) there isn't an appropriate errno value for that.
Also, update Documentation/git-clone.txt to reflect that this
restriction exists.

Test 'loosely defined local base branch is reported correctly' in
t2024-checkout-dwim.sh, which was introduced in [1] compares output of
two invocations of "git checkout", invoked with two different branches
named "strict" and "loose". As per description in [1], the test is
validating that output of tracking information for these two branches.
This tracking information is printed to standard output:
Your branch is behind 'main' by 1 commit, and can be fast-forwarded.
(use "git pull" to update your local branch)
The test assumes that the names of the two branches (strict and loose)
are in that output, and pipes the output through sed to replace names of
the branches with "BRANCHNAME". Command "git checkout", however,
outputs the branch name to standard error, not standard output -- see
message "Switched to branch '%s'\n" in function "update_refs_for_switch"
in "builtin/checkout.c". This means that the two invocations of sed do
nothing.
Redirect both the standard output and the standard error of "git
checkout" for these assertions. Ensure that compared files have the
string "BRANCHNAME".
In a series of piped commands, only the return code of the last command
is used. Thus, all other commands will have their return codes masked.
Avoid piping of output of git directly into sed to preserve the exit
status code of "git checkout", while we're here.

Remove a test in t3402 that has been redundant ever since 80ff47957b
(rebase: remember strategy and strategy options, 2011-02-06). That
commit added a new test, the first part of which (as noted in the old
commit message) duplicated an existing test.
Also remove a test t3418 that has been redundant since the merge backend
was removed in 68aa495b59 (rebase: implement --merge via the interactive
machinery, 2018-12-11), since it now tests the same code paths as the
preceding test.
