auto_mkindex expands wildcards in directory order, which depends on
the underlying filesystem.  To improve build reproducibility, sort the
list of *.tcl files in the Makefile.

The unoptimized loading case was previously fixed in gitgui-0.21.0~14

a050044716 Tests: clean up submodule recursive helpers
This continues the work in commit d3b5a49 ("Tests: clean up and document

Factor out the commonalities from
test_submodule_switch_recursing_with_args() and
test_submodule_forced_switch_recursing_with_args() in
lib-submodule-update.sh, and document their usage. Some tests differ
slightly in their test assertions; I have used the superset of those

87b5e236a1 sha1_file: fast-path null sha1 as a missing object
In theory nobody should ever ask the low-level object code
for a null sha1. It's used as a sentinel for "no such
object" in lots of places, so leaking through to this level
is a sign that the higher-level code is not being careful
about its error-checking.  In practice, though, quite a few
code paths seem to rely on the null sha1 lookup failing as a
way to quietly propagate non-existence (e.g., by feeding it
to lookup_commit_reference_gently(), which then returns
NULL).

When this happens, we do two inefficient things:

  1. We actually search for the null sha1 in packs and in
     the loose object directory.

  2. When we fail to find it, we re-scan the pack directory
     in case a simultaneous repack happened to move it from
     loose to packed. This can be very expensive if you have
     a large number of packs.

Only the second one actually causes noticeable performance
problems, so we could treat them independently. But for the
sake of simplicity (both of code and of reasoning about it),
it makes sense to just declare that the null sha1 cannot be
a real on-disk object, and looking it up will always return
"no such object".

There's no real loss of functionality to do so Its use as a
sentinel value means that anybody who is unlucky enough to
hit the 2^-160th chance of generating an object with that
sha1 is already going to find the object largely unusable.

In an ideal world, we'd simply fix all of the callers to
notice the null sha1 and avoid passing it to us. But a
simple experiment to catch this with a BUG() shows that
there are a large number of code paths that do so.

So in the meantime, let's fix the performance problem by
taking a fast exit from the object lookup when we see a null
sha1. p5551 shows off the improvement (when a fetched ref is
new, the "old" sha1 is 0{40}, which ends up being passed for
fast-forward checks, the status table abbreviations, etc):

  Test            HEAD^             HEAD

c291293b2e everything_local: use "quick" object existence check
In b495697b82 (fetch-pack: avoid repeatedly re-scanning pack
directory, 2013-01-26), we noticed that everything_local()
could waste time trying to find and parse objects which we
_expect_ to be missing. The solution was to put
has_sha1_file() in front of parse_object() to skip the
more-expensive parse attempt.

That optimization was negated later when has_sha1_file()
learned to do the same re-scan in 45e8a74873 (has_sha1_file:
re-check pack directory before giving up, 2013-08-30).

We can restore it by using the "quick" flag to tell
has_sha1_file (actually has_object_file these days) that we
prefer speed to thoroughness for this call.  See also the
fixes in 5827a0354 and 0eeb077be7 for prior art and
discussion on using the "quick" flag for these cases.

The recently-added performance regression test in p5551
demonstrates the problem. You can see the original fix:

  Test            b495697b82^       b495697b82
  --------------------------------------------------------
  5551.4: fetch   1.68(1.33+0.35)   0.87(0.69+0.18) -48.2%

and then the regression:

  Test            45e8a74873^       45e8a74873
  ---------------------------------------------------------
  5551.4: fetch   0.96(0.77+0.19)   2.55(2.04+0.50) +165.6%

and now our fix:

  Test            HEAD^             HEAD
  --------------------------------------------------------
  5551.4: fetch   7.21(6.58+0.63)   5.47(5.04+0.43) -24.1%

You can also see that other things have gotten a lot slower
since 2013. We'll deal with those in separate patches.

7893bf1720 p5551: add a script to test fetch pack-dir rescans
Since fetch often deals with object-ids we don't have (yet),
it's an easy mistake for it to use a function like
parse_object() that gives the correct result (e.g., NULL)
but does so very slowly (because after failing to find the
object, we re-scan the pack directory looking for new
packs).

The regular test suite won't catch this because the end
result is correct, but we would want to know about
performance regressions, too. Let's add a test to the
regression suite.

Note that this uses a synthetic repository that has a large
number of packs. That's not ideal, as it means we're not
testing what "normal" users see (in fact, some of these
problems have existed for ages without anybody noticing
simply because a rescan on a normal repository just isn't
that expensive).

So what we're really looking for here is the spike you'd
notice in a pathological case (a lot of unknown objects
coming into a repo with a lot of packs). If that's fast,
then the normal cases should be, too.

Note that the test also makes liberal use of $MODERN_GIT for
setup; some of these regressions go back a ways, and we
should be able to use it to find the problems there.

Function context can be bigger than -A/-B/-C context.  To find the
beginning of the combined context we search backwards.  Currently we
check at each loop iteration what we're looking for and determine the
effective upper boundary based on that.

Simplify this a bit by setting the variable "from" to the lowest unshown
line number up front if we're looking for a function line and set it
back to the required -B/-C context line number when we find one.  This
prepares the ground for the next patch; no functional change intended.

d74b541e0b branch: respect pager.branch in list-mode only
Similar to de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only,
2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect
`pager.branch` when we are listing branches.

We have two possibilities of generalizing what that earlier commit made
to `git tag`. One is to interpret, e.g., --set-upstream-to as "it does
not use an editor, so we should page". Another, the one taken by this
commit, is to say "it does not list, so let's not page". That is in line
with the approach of the series on `pager.tag` and in particular the
wording in Documentation/git-tag.txt, which this commit reuses for
git-branch.txt.

This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the
test for whether `git branch --set-upstream-to` respects `pager.branch`.

ed104fa9e1 t7006: add tests for how git branch paginates
The next couple of commits will change how `git branch` handles
`pager.branch`, similar to how de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in
list-mode only, 2017-08-02) and ff1e72483 (tag: change default of
`pager.tag` to "on", 2017-08-02) changed `git tag`.

Add tests in this area to make sure that we don't regress and so that
the upcoming commits can be made clearer by adapting the tests. Add some
tests for `--list` (implied), one for `--edit-description`, and one for
`--set-upstream-to` as a representative of "something other than the
first two".

In particular, use `test_expect_failure` to document that we currently
respect the pager-configuration with `--edit-description`. The current
behavior is buggy since the pager interferes with the editor and makes

782c030ea2 config: flip return value of write_section()
d9bd4cbb9c (config: flip return value of store_write_*()) made
write_section() follow the convention of write(2) to return -1 on error
and the number of written bytes on success.  3b48045c6c (Merge branch
'sd/branch-copy') changed it back to returning 0 on error and 1 on
success, but left its callers still checking for negative values.

Let write_section() follow the convention of write(2) again to meet the
expectations of its callers.

5f9674243d config: add --expiry-date
Add --expiry-date as a data-type for config files when
'git config --get' is used. This will return any relative
or fixed dates from config files as timestamps.

This is useful for scripts (e.g. gc.reflogexpire) that work
with timestamps so that '2.weeks' can be converted to a format
acceptable by those scripts/functions.

Following the convention of git_config_pathname(), move
the helper function required for this feature from
builtin/reflog.c to builtin/config.c where other similar
functions exist (e.g. for --bool or --path), and match
the order of parameters with other functions (i.e. output
pointer as first parameter).

4855de1233 apply: update line lengths for --inaccurate-eof
Some diff implementations don't report missing newlines at the end of
files.  Applying such a patch can cause a newline character to be
added inadvertently.  The option --inaccurate-eof of git apply can be
used to remove trailing newlines if needed.

apply_one_fragment() cuts it off from the buffers for preimage and
postimage.  Before it does, it builds an array with the lengths of each
line for both.  Make sure to update the length of the last line in
these line info structures as well to keep them consistent with their
respective buffer.

Without this fix the added test fails; git apply dies and reports:

   fatal: BUG: caller miscounted postlen: asked 1, orig = 1, used = 2

That sanity check is only called if whitespace changes are ignored.

In 52d59cc645 (branch: add a --copy (-c) option to go with --move (-m),
2017-06-18), `git branch` learned a `--copy` option.  Include it when

9472935d81 add: introduce "--renormalize"
Make it safer to normalize the line endings in a repository.
Files that had been commited with CRLF will be commited with LF.

The old way to normalize a repo was like this:

 # Make sure that there are not untracked files
 $ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
 $ git read-tree --empty
 $ git add .
 $ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"

The user must make sure that there are no untracked files,
otherwise they would have been added and tracked from now on.

The new "add --renormalize" does not add untracked files:

 $ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
 $ git add --renormalize .
 $ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"

Note that "git add --renormalize <pathspec>" is the short form for
"git add -u --renormalize <pathspec>".

While at it, document that the same renormalization may be needed,
whenever a clean filter is added or changed.

a060f3d3d8 branch doc: remove --set-upstream from synopsis
Support for the --set-upstream option was removed in 52668846ea
(builtin/branch: stop supporting the "--set-upstream" option,
2017-08-17), after a long deprecation period.

Remove the option from the command synopsis for consistency.  Replace
another reference to it in the description of `--delete` with
`--set-upstream-to`.
