8843302307 rebase -i: simplify get_revision_ranges()
Now that all the external users of head_hash have been converted to
use a opts->orig_head instead we can stop returning head_hash from
get_revision_ranges().

Because we want to pass the full object names back to the caller in
`revisions` the find_unique_abbrev_r() call that was used to initialize
`head_hash` is replaced with oid_to_hex().

e100bea481 rebase -i: stop overwriting ORIG_HEAD buffer
After rebasing, ORIG_HEAD is supposed to point to the old HEAD of the
rebased branch.  The code used find_unique_abbrev() to obtain the
object name of the old HEAD and wrote to both
.git/rebase-merge/orig-head (used by `rebase --abort` to go back to
the previous state) and to ORIG_HEAD.  The buffer find_unique_abbrev()
gives back is volatile, unfortunately, and was overwritten after the
former file is written but before ORIG_FILE is written, leaving an
incorrect object name in it.

Avoid relying on the volatile buffer of find_unique_abbrev(), and
instead supply our own buffer to keep the object name.

I think that all of the users of head_hash should actually be using
opts->orig_head instead as passing a string rather than a struct
object_id around is a hang over from the scripted implementation. This
patch just fixes the immediate bug and adds a regression test based on
Caspar's reproduction example[1]. The users will be converted to use
struct object_id and head_hash removed in the next few commits.

dc1672dd10 format-patch: support --output option
We've never intended to support diff's --output option in format-patch.
And until baa4adc66a (parse-options: disable option abbreviation with
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN, 2019-01-27), it was impossible to trigger. We
first parse the format-patch options before handing the remainder off to
setup_revisions(). Before that commit, we'd accept "--output=foo" as an
abbreviation for "--output-directory=foo". But afterwards, we don't
check abbreviations, and --output gets passed to the diff code.

This results in nonsense behavior and bugs. The diff code will have
opened a filehandle at rev.diffopt.file, but we'll overwrite that with
our own handles that we open for each individual patch file. So the
--output file will always just be empty. But worse, the diff code also
sets rev.diffopt.close_file, so log_tree_commit() will close the
filehandle itself. And then the main loop in cmd_format_patch() will try
to close it again, resulting in a double-free.

The simplest solution would be to just disallow --output with
format-patch, as nobody ever intended it to work. However, we have
accidentally documented it (because format-patch includes diff-options).
And it does work with "git log", which writes the whole output to the
specified file. It's easy enough to make that work for format-patch,
too: it's really the same as --stdout, but pointed at a specific file.

We can detect the use of the --output option by the "close_file" flag
(note that we can't use rev.diffopt.file, since the diff setup will
otherwise set it to stdout). So we just need to unset that flag, but
don't have to do anything else. Our situation is otherwise exactly like
--stdout (note that we don't fclose() the file, but nor does the stdout
case; exiting the program takes care of that for us).

1e1693b2bb format-patch: tie file-opening logic to output_directory
In format-patch we're either outputting to stdout or to individual files
in an output directory (which may be just "./"). Our logic for whether
to open a new file for each patch is checked with "!use_stdout", but it
is equally correct to check for a non-NULL output_directory.

The distinction will matter when we add a new single-stream output in a
future patch, when only one of the three methods will want individual
files. Let's swap the logic here in preparation.

4c6f781f9c format-patch: refactor output selection
The --stdout and --output-directory options are mutually exclusive, but
it's hard to tell from reading the code. We have three separate
conditionals that check for use_stdout, and it's only after we've set up
the output_directory fully that we check whether the user also specified
--stdout.

Instead, let's check the exclusion explicitly first, then have a single
conditional that handles stdout versus an output directory. This is
slightly easier to follow now, and also will keep things sane when we
add another output mode in a future patch.

We'll add a few tests as well, covering the mutual exclusion and the
fact that we are not confused by a configured output directory.

39664cb0ac log: diagnose -L used with pathspec as an error
The -L option is documented to accept no pathspec, but the
command line option parser has allowed the combination without
checking so far.  Ensure that there is no pathspec when the -L
option is in effect to fix this.

Incidentally, this change fixes another bug in the command line
option parser, which has allowed the -L option used together
with the --follow option.  Because the latter requires exactly
one path given, but the former takes no pathspec, they become
mutually incompatible automatically.  Because the -L option
follows renames on its own, there is no reason to give --follow
at the same time.

The new tests say they may fail with "-L and --follow being
incompatible" instead of "-L and pathspec being incompatible".
Currently the expected failure can come only from the latter, but
this is to futureproof them, in case we decide to add code to
explicititly die on -L and --follow used together.

14c4586c2d merge,rebase,revert: select ort or recursive by config or environment
Allow the testsuite to run where it treats requests for "recursive" or
the default merge algorithm via consulting the environment variable
GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM which is expected to either be "recursive" (the
old traditional algorithm) or "ort" (the new algorithm).

Also, allow folks to pick the new algorithm via config setting.  It
turns out builtin/merge.c already had a way to allow users to specify a
different default merge algorithm: pull.twohead.  Rather odd
configuration name (especially to be in the 'pull' namespace rather than
'merge') but it's there.  Add that same configuration to rebase,
cherry-pick, and revert.

This required updating the various callsites that called merge_trees()
or merge_recursive() to conditionally call the new API, so this serves
as another demonstration of what the new API looks and feels like.
There are almost certainly some callsites that have not yet been
modified to work with the new merge algorithm, but this represents the
ones that I have been testing with thus far.

9466e3809d blame: enable funcname blaming with userdiff driver
In blame.c::cmd_blame, we send the 'path' field of the 'sb' 'struct
blame_scoreboard' as the 'path' argument to
'line-range.c::parse_range_arg', but 'sb.path' is not set yet; it's set
to the local variable 'path' a few lines later at line 1137.

This 'path' argument is only used in 'parse_range_arg' if we are blaming
a funcname, i.e. `git blame -L :<funcname> <path>`, and in that case it
is sent to 'parse_range_funcname', where it is used to determine if a
userdiff driver should be used for said <path> to match the given
funcname.

Since 'path' is yet unset, the userdiff driver is never used, so we fall
back to the default funcname regex, which is usually not appropriate for
paths that are set to use a specific userdiff driver, and thus either we
match some unrelated lines, or we die with

    fatal: -L parameter '<funcname>' starting at line 1: no match

This has been the case ever since `git blame` learned to blame a
funcname in 13b8f68c1f (log -L: :pattern:file syntax to find by
funcname, 2013-03-28).

Enable funcname blaming for paths using specific userdiff drivers by
initializing 'sb.path' earlier in 'cmd_blame', when some of its other
fields are initialized, so that it is set when passed to
'parse_range_arg'.

Add a regression test in 'annotate-tests.sh', which is sourced in
t8001-annotate.sh and t8002-blame.sh, leveraging an existing file used
to test the userdiff patterns in t4018-diff-funcname.

Also, use 'sb.path' instead of 'path' when constructing the error
message at line 1114, for consistency.

7e41061588 checkout-index: propagate errors to exit code
If we encounter an error while checking out an explicit path, we print a
message to stderr but do not actually exit with a non-zero code. While
this is a plumbing command and the behavior goes all the way back to
33db5f4d90 (Add a "checkout-cache" command which does what the name
suggests., 2005-04-09), this is almost certainly an oversight:

  - we _do_ return an exit code from checkout_file(); the caller just
    never reads it

  - errors while checking out all paths (with "-a") do result in a
    non-zero exit code.

  - it would be quite unusual not to use the exit code for an error,
    as otherwise the caller has no idea the command failed except by
    scraping stderr

To keep our tests simple and portable, we can use the most obvious
error: asking to checkout a path which is not in the index at all.

0b809c8248 checkout-index: drop error message from empty --stage=all
If checkout-index is given --stage=all for a specific path, it will try
to write stages 1-3 (if present) for that path to temporary files.
However, if the file is present only at stage 0, it writes nothing but
gives a confusing message:

  $ git checkout-index --stage=all -- Makefile
  git checkout-index: Makefile does not exist at stage 4

This is nonsense. There is no stage 4 (it's just an internal enum value
we use for "all"), and the documentation clearly states:

  Paths which only have a stage 0 entry will always be omitted from the
  output.

Here it's talking about the list of tempfiles written to stdout, but it
seems clear that this case was not meant to be an error. We even have a
test which covers it, but it only checks that the command reports an
exit code of 0, not its stderr. And it reports 0 only because of another
bug which fails to propagate errors (which will be fixed in a subsequent
patch).

So let's make the test more thorough. We'll also cover the case that we
found _no_ entry, not even a stage zero, which should still be an error.
However, because of the other bug, we'll have to mark this as expecting
failure for the moment.

9144ba4cf5 remote: add meaningful exit code on missing/existing
Change the exit code for the likes of "git remote add/rename" to exit
with 2 if the remote in question doesn't exist, and 3 if it
does. Before we'd just die() and exit with the general 128 exit code.

This changes the output message from e.g.:

    fatal: remote origin already exists.

To:

    error: remote origin already exists.

Which I believe is a feature, since we generally use "fatal" for the
generic errors, and "error" for the more specific ones with a custom
exit code, but this part of the change may break code that already
relies on stderr parsing (not that we ever supported that...).

The motivation for this is a discussion around some code in GitLab's
gitaly which wanted to check this, and had to parse stderr to do so:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/-/merge_requests/2695

It's worth noting as an aside that a method of checking this that
doesn't rely on that is to check with "git config" whether the value
in question does or doesn't exist. That introduces a TOCTOU race
condition, but on the other hand this code (e.g. "git remote add")
already has a TOCTOU race.

We go through the config.lock for the actual setting of the config,
but the pseudocode logic is:

    read_config();
    check_config_and_arg_sanity();
    save_config();

So e.g. if a sleep() is added right after the remote_is_configured()
check in add() we'll clobber remote.NAME.url, and add another (usually
duplicate) remote.NAME.fetch entry (and other values, depending on
invocation).

2020451c5b am, sequencer: stop parsing our own committer ident
For the --committer-date-is-author-date option of git-am and git-rebase,
we format the committer ident, then re-parse it to find the name and
email, and then feed those back to fmt_ident().

We can simplify this by handling it all at the time of the fmt_ident()
call. We pass in the appropriate getenv() results, and if they're not
present, then our WANT_COMMITTER_IDENT flag tells fmt_ident() to fill in
the appropriate value from the config. Which is exactly what
git_committer_ident() was doing under the hood.

16b0bb99ea am: fix broken email with --committer-date-is-author-date
Commit e8cbe2118a (am: stop exporting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE, 2020-08-17)
rewrote the code for setting the committer date to use fmt_ident(),
rather than setting an environment variable and letting commit_tree()
handle it. But it introduced two bugs:

  - we use the author email string instead of the committer email

  - when parsing the committer ident, we used the wrong variable to
    compute the length of the email, resulting in it always being a
    zero-length string

This commit fixes both, which causes our test of this option via the
rebase "apply" backend to now succeed.

ec7967cfaf merge-base, xdiff: zero out xpparam_t structures
xpparam_t structures are usually zero-initialized before their specific
fields are assigned to, but there are three locations in the tree where
that does not happen.  Add the missing memset() calls in order to make
initialization of xpparam_t structures consistent tree-wide and to
prevent stack garbage from being used as field values.

3abd4a67d9 Documentation: stylistically normalize references to Signed-off-by:
Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.

Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.

First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation.  So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.

The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425 (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line".  Commit 6f855371a5 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match.  Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.

Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon.  Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.

Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message".  As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.

However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.
