In general, we encourage users to use plumbing commands, like git
rev-list, over porcelain commands, like git log, when scripting.
However, git rev-list has one glaring problem that prevents it from
being used in certain cases: when --pretty is used with a custom format,
it always prints out a line containing "commit" and the object ID. This
makes it unsuitable for many scripting needs, and forces users to use
git log instead.
While we can't change this behavior for backwards compatibility, we can
add an option to suppress this behavior, so let's do so, and call it
"--no-commit-header". Additionally, add the corresponding positive
option to switch it back on.
Note that this option doesn't affect the built-in formats, only custom
formats. This is exactly the same behavior as users already have from
git log and is what most users will be used to.

This saves 8K per `struct object_directory', meaning it saves
around 800MB in my case involving 100K alternates (half or more
of those alternates are unlikely to hold loose objects).
This is implemented in two parts: a generic, allocation-free
`cbtree' and the `oidtree' wrapper on top of it. The latter
provides allocation using alloc_state as a memory pool to
improve locality and reduce free(3) overhead.
Unlike oid-array, the crit-bit tree does not require sorting.
Performance is bound by the key length, for oidtree that is
fixed at sizeof(struct object_id). There's no need to have
256 oidtrees to mitigate the O(n log n) overhead like we did
with oid-array.
Being a prefix trie, it is natively suited for expanding short
object IDs via prefix-limited iteration in
`find_short_object_filename'.
On my busy workstation, p4205 performance seems to be roughly
unchanged (+/-8%). Startup with 100K total alternates with no
loose objects seems around 10-20% faster on a hot cache.
(800MB in memory savings means more memory for the kernel FS
cache).
The generic cbtree implementation does impose some extra
overhead for oidtree in that it uses memcmp(3) on
"struct object_id" so it wastes cycles comparing 12 extra bytes
on SHA-1 repositories. I've not yet explored reducing this
overhead, but I expect there are many places in our code base
where we'd want to investigate this.

When the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is defined, then all test data will be

"t/". While this works as expected for our normal tests, performance
tests fail to locate and aggregate performance data because they don't

We have a custom match_pattern_list() function which we use for matching
test names (like "t1234") against glob-like patterns (like "t1???") for
$GIT_SKIP_TESTS, --verbose-only, etc.
Those patterns may have multiple whitespace-separated elements (e.g.,
"t0* t1234 t5?78"). The callers of match_pattern_list thus pass the
strings unquoted, so that the shell does the usual field-splitting into
separate arguments.
But this also means the shell will do the usual globbing for each
argument, which can result in us seeing an expansion based on what's in
the filesystem, rather than the real pattern. For example, if I have the
path "t5000" in the filesystem, and you feed the pattern "t?000", that
_should_ match the string "t0000", but it won't after the shell has
expanded it to "t5000".
This has been a bug ever since that function was introduced. But it
didn't usually trigger since we typically use the function inside the
trash directory, which has a very limited set of files that are unlikely
to match. It became a lot easier to trigger after edc23840b0 (test-lib:
bring $remove_trash out of retirement, 2021-05-10), because now we match
$GIT_SKIP_TESTS before even entering the trash directory. So the t5000
example above can be seen with:
GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t?000 ./t0000-basic.sh
which should skip all tests but doesn't.
We can fix this by using "set -f" to ask the shell not to glob (which is
in POSIX, so should hopefully be portable enough). We only want to do
this in a subshell (to avoid polluting the rest of the script), which
means we need to get the whole string intact into the match_pattern_list
function by quoting it. Arguably this is a good idea anyway, since it
makes it much more obvious that we intend to split, and it's not simply
sloppy scripting.

Directory rename detection can cause transitive renames, e.g. if the two
different sides of history each do one half of:
A/file -> B/file
B/ -> C/
then directory rename detection transitively renames to give us
A/file -> C/file
However, when C/ == A/, note that this gives us
A/file -> A/file.
merge-recursive assumed that any rename D -> E would have D != E. While
that is almost always true, the above is a special case where it is not.
So we cannot do things like delete the rename source, we cannot assume
that a file existing at path E implies a rename/add conflict and we have
to be careful about what stages end up in the output.
This change feels a bit hackish. It took me surprisingly many hours to
find, and given merge-recursive's design causing it to attempt to
enumerate all combinations of edge and corner cases with special code
for each combination, I'm worried there are other similar fixes needed
elsewhere if we can just come up with the right special testcase.
Perhaps an audit would rule it out, but I have not the energy.
merge-recursive deserves to die, and since it is on its way out anyway,
fixing this particular bug narrowly will have to be good enough.

Path conflicts (typically rename path conflicts, e.g.

We had a codepath where we missed consulting the path_conflict and
df_conflict flags, based on match_mask. Granted, it requires an unusual
setup to trigger this codepath (directory rename causing rename-to-self
is the only case I can think of), but we still need to handle it. To
make it clear that we have audited the other codepaths that do not
explicitly mention these flags, add some assertions that the flags are

Directory rename detection can cause transitive renames, e.g. if the two
different sides of history each do one half of:

then directory rename detection transitively renames to give us C/file.
Since the default for merge.directoryRenames is conflict, this results
in an error message saying it is unclear whether the file should be
placed at B/file or C/file.
What if C/ is A/, though? In such a case, the transitive rename would
give us A/file, the original name we started with. Logically, having
an error message with B/file vs. A/file should be fine, as should
leaving the file where it started. But the logic in both
merge-recursive and merge-ort did not handle a case of a filename being
renamed to itself correctly; merge-recursive had two bugs, and merge-ort
had one. Add some testcases covering such a scenario.

Git grep allows combining two patterns with --and. It checks and
reports if the second pattern is missing when compiling the expression.
A missing first pattern, however, is only reported later at match time.
Thus no error is returned if no matching is done, e.g. because no file
matches the also given pathspec.
When that happens we get an expression tree with an GREP_NODE_AND node
and a NULL pointer to the missing left child. free_pattern_expr()
tries to dereference it during the cleanup at the end, which results
in a segmentation fault.
Fix this by verifying the presence of the left operand at expression
compilation time.

'git multi-pack-index verify' inspects the data in an existing MIDX for
correctness by checking that the recorded object offsets are correct,
and so on.
But it does not check that the file's trailing checksum matches the data
that it records. So, if an on-disk corruption happened to occur in the
final few bytes (and all other data was recorded correctly), we would:
- get a clean result from 'git multi-pack-index verify', but
- be unable to reuse the existing MIDX when writing a new one (since
we now check for checksum mismatches before reusing a MIDX)
Teach the 'verify' sub-command to recognize corruption in the checksum
by calling midx_checksum_valid().

When writing a new multi-pack index, Git tries to reuse as much of the
data from an existing MIDX as possible, like object offsets. This is
done to avoid re-opening a bunch of *.idx files unnecessarily, but can
lead to problems if the data we are reusing is corrupt.
That's because we'll blindly reuse data from an existing MIDX without
checking its trailing checksum for validity. So if there is memory
corruption while writing a MIDX, or disk corruption in the intervening
period between writing and reuse, we'll blindly propagate those bad
values forward.
Suppose we experience a memory corruption while writing a MIDX such that
we write an incorrect object offset (or alternatively, the disk corrupts
the data after being written, but before being reused). Then when we go
to write a new MIDX, we'll reuse the bad object offset without checking
its validity. This means that the MIDX we just wrote is broken, but its
trailing checksum is in-tact, since we never bothered to look at the
values before writing.
In the above, a "git multi-pack-index verify" would have caught the
problem before writing, but writing a new MIDX wouldn't have noticed
anything wrong, blindly carrying forward the corrupt offset.
Individual pack indexes check their validity by verifying the crc32
attached to each entry when carrying data forward during a repack.
We could solve this problem for MIDXs in the same way, but individual
crc32's don't make much sense, since their entries are so small.
Likewise, checking the whole file on every read may be prohibitively
expensive if a repository has a lot of objects, packs, or both.
But we can check the trailing checksum when reusing an existing MIDX
when writing a new one. And a corrupt MIDX need not stop us from writing
a new one, since we can just avoid reusing the existing one at all and
pretend as if we are writing a new MIDX from scratch.

This is one step towards supporting partial clone submodules.
Even after this patch, we will still lack partial clone submodules
support, primarily because a lot of Git code that accesses submodule
objects does so by adding their object stores as alternates, meaning
that any lazy fetches that would occur in the submodule would be done
based on the config of the superproject, not of the submodule. This also
prevents testing of the functionality in this patch by user-facing
commands. So for now, test this mechanism using a test helper.
Besides that, there is some code that uses the wrapper functions
like has_promisor_remote(). Those will need to be checked to see if they

Commit 7fbbcb21b1 ("diff: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2019-04-05)
introduced batching of fetching missing blobs, so that the diff
machinery would have one fetch subprocess grab N blobs instead of N
processes each grabbing 1.
However, the diff machinery is not the only thing in a merge that needs
to work on blobs. The 3-way content merges need them as well. Rather
than download all the blobs 1 at a time, prefetch all the blobs needed
for regular content merges.
This does not cover all possible paths in merge-ort that might need to
download blobs. Others include:
- The blob_unchanged() calls to avoid modify/delete conflicts (when
blob renormalization results in an "unchanged" file)
- Preliminary content merges needed for rename/add and
rename/rename(2to1) style conflicts. (Both of these types of
conflicts can result in nested conflict markers from the need to do
two levels of content merging; the first happens before our new
prefetch_for_content_merges() function.)
The first of these wouldn't be an extreme amount of work to support, and
even the second could be theoretically supported in batching, but all of
these cases seem unusual to me, and this is a minor performance
optimization anyway; in the worst case we only get some of the fetches
batched and have a few additional one-off fetches. So for now, just
handle the regular 3-way content merges in our prefetching.
For the testcase from the previous commit, the number of downloaded
objects remains at 63, but this drops the number of fetches needed from
32 down to 20, a sizeable reduction.

merge-ort was designed to minimize the amount of data needed and used,
and several changes were made to diffcore-rename to take advantage of
extra metadata to enable this data minimization (particularly the
relevant_sources variable for skipping "irrelevant" renames). This
effort obviously succeeded in drastically reducing computation times,
but should also theoretically allow partial clones to download much less
information. Previously, though, the "prefetch" command used in
diffcore-rename had never been modified and downloaded many blobs that
were unnecessary for merge-ort. This commit corrects that.
When doing basename comparisons, we want to fetch only the objects that
will be used for basename comparisons. If after basename fetching this
leaves us with no more relevant sources (or no more destinations), then
we won't need to do the full inexact rename detection and can skip
downloading additional source and destination files. Even if we have to
do that later full inexact rename detection, irrelevant sources are
culled after basename matching and before the full inexact rename
detection, so we can still avoid downloading the blobs for irrelevant
sources. Rename prefetch() to inexact_prefetch(), and introduce a
new basename_prefetch() to take advantage of this.
If we modify the testcase from commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin
performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2021-01-23)
to pass
--sparse --filter=blob:none
to the clone command, and use the new trace2 "fetch_count" output from
a few commits ago to track both the number of fetch subcommands invoked
and the number of objects fetched across all those fetches, then for
the mega-renames testcase we observe the following:
BEFORE this commit, rebasing 35 patches:
strategy # of fetches total # of objects fetched
--------- ------------ --------------------------
recursive 62 11423
ort 30 11391
AFTER this commit, rebasing the same 35 patches:
ort 32 63
This means that the new code only needs to download less than 2 blobs
per patch being rebased. That is especially interesting given that the
repository at the start only had approximately half a dozen TOTAL blobs
downloaded to start with (because the default sparse-checkout of just
the toplevel directory was in use).
So, for this particular linux kernel testcase that involved ~26,000
renames on the upstream side (drivers/ -> pilots/) across which 35
patches were being rebased, this change reduces the number of blobs that
need to be downloaded by a factor of ~180.

Not all systems have a readlink program available for use by the shell.
This causes t3210 to fail on at least AIX. Let's provide a perl
one-liner to do the same thing, and use it there.
I also updated calls in t9802. Nobody reported failure there, but it's
the same issue. Presumably nobody actually tests with p4 on AIX in the
first place (if it is even available there).
I left the use of readlink in the "--valgrind" setup in test-lib.sh, as
valgrind isn't available on exotic platforms anyway (and I didn't want
to increase dependencies between test-lib.sh and test-lib-functions.sh).
There's one other curious case. Commit d2addc3b96 (t7800: readlink may
not be available, 2016-05-31) fixed a similar case. We can't use our
wrapper function there, though, as it's inside a sub-script triggered by
Git. It uses a slightly different technique ("ls" piped to "sed"). I
chose not to use that here as it gives confusing "ls -l" output if the
file is unexpectedly not a symlink (which is OK for its limited use, but
potentially confusing for general use within the test suite). The perl
version emits the empty string.

Since cd1d61c44f (make union merge an xdl merge favor, 2010-03-01), we
pass NULL to ll_xdl_merge() for the "name" labels of the ancestor, ours
and theirs buffers. We usually use these for annotating conflict markers
left in a file. For a union merge, these shouldn't matter; the point of
it is that we'd never leave conflict markers in the first place.
But there is one code path where we may dereference them: if the file
contents appear to be binary, ll_binary_merge() will give up and pass
them to warning() to generate a message for the user (that was true even
when cd1d61c44f was written, though the warning was in ll_xdl_merge()
back then).
That can result in a segfault, though on many systems (including glibc),
the printf routines will helpfully just say "(null)" instead. We can
extend our binary-union test in t6406 to check stderr, which catches the
problem on all systems.
This also fixes a warning from "gcc -O3". Unlike lower optimization
levels, it inlines enough to see that the NULL can make it to warning()
and complains:

Prior to commit a944af1d86 (merge: teach -Xours/-Xtheirs to binary
ll-merge driver, 2012-09-08), we always reported a conflict from
ll_binary_merge() by returning "1" (in the xdl_merge and ll_merge code,
this value is the number of conflict hunks). After that commit, we
report zero conflicts if the "variant" flag is set, under the assumption
that it is one of XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_OURS or XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_THEIRS.
But this gets confused by XDL_MERGE_FAVOR_UNION. We do not know how to
do a binary union merge, but erroneously report no conflicts anyway (and
just blindly use the "ours" content as the result).
Let's tighten our check to just the cases that a944af1d86 meant to
cover. This fixes the union case (which existed already back when that
commit was made), as well as future-proofing us against any other
variants that get added later.
Note that you can't trigger this from "git merge-file --union", as that
bails on binary files before even calling into the ll-merge machinery.
The test here uses the "union" merge attribute, which does erroneously
report a successful merge.

/bin/dash on MacOS 11.4, where they error out like this:

That's because the output of wc -l contains leading spaces and the

as in "local workers= 0".
Work around it by enclosing the command substitution in quotes.

The --batch code to print an object assumes we found out the type of
the object from calling oid_object_info_extended(). This is true for
the default format, but even in a custom format, we manually modify
the object_info struct to ask for the type.
This assumption was broken by 845de33a5b (cat-file: avoid noop calls
to sha1_object_info_extended, 2016-05-18). That commit skips the call
to oid_object_info_extended() entirely when --batch-all-objects is in
use, and the custom format does not include any placeholders that
require calling it.
Or when the custom format only include placeholders like %(objectname) or
%(rest), oid_object_info_extended() will not get the type of the object.
This results in an error when we try to confirm that the type didn't
change:
$ git cat-file --batch=batman --batch-all-objects
batman
fatal: object 000023961a changed type!?
and also has other subtle effects (e.g., we'd fail to stream a blob,
since we don't realize it's a blob in the first place).
We can fix this by flipping the order of the setup. The check for "do
we need to get the object info" must come _after_ we've decided
whether we need to look up the type.

Previously, it did this by manipulating the file system to remove reflog in the
first test, and relying on git not updating the reflog if the relevant logfile
doesn't exist in follow-up tests.
Now, explicitly clear the reflog using 'reflog expire'. This reduces the

t2080 makes a few copies of a test repository and later performs a
branch switch on each one of the copies to verify that parallel checkout
and sequential checkout produce the same results. However, the
repository is copied with `cp -R` which, on some systems, defaults to
following symlinks on the directory hierarchy and copying their target
files instead of copying the symlinks themselves. AIX is one example of
system where this happens. Because the symlinks are not preserved, the
copied repositories have paths that do not match what is in the index,
causing git to abort the checkout operation that we want to test. This
makes the test fail on these systems.
Fix this by copying the repository with the POSIX flag '-P', which
forces cp to copy the symlinks instead of following them. Note that we
already use this flag for other cp invocations in our test suite (see
t7001). With this change, t2080 now passes on AIX.
