--quit is supposed to be --abort but without restoring HEAD. Leaving
CHERRY_PICK_HEAD behind could make other commands mistake that
cherry-pick is still ongoing (e.g. "git commit --amend" will refuse to
work). Clean it too.

For --abort, this job of deleting CHERRY_PICK_HEAD is on "git reset"
so we don't need to do anything else. But let's add extra checks in
--abort tests to confirm.

0889aae1cd for_each_*_object: move declarations to object-store.h
The for_each_loose_object() and for_each_packed_object()
functions are meant to be part of a unified interface: they
use the same set of for_each_object_flags, and it's not
inconceivable that we might one day add a single
for_each_object() wrapper around them.

Let's put them together in a single file, so we can avoid
awkwardness like saying "the flags for this function are
over in cache.h". Moving the loose functions to packfile.h
is silly. Moving the packed functions to cache.h works, but
makes the "cache.h is a kitchen sink" problem worse. The
best place is the recently-created object-store.h, since
these are quite obviously related to object storage.

The for_each_*_in_objdir() functions do not use the same
flags, but they are logically part of the same interface as
for_each_loose_object(), and share callback signatures. So
we'll move those, as well, as they also make sense in
object-store.h.

79ed0a5e26 cat-file: use a single strbuf for all output
When we're in batch mode, we end up in batch_object_write()
for each object, which allocates its own strbuf for each
call. Instead, we can provide a single "scratch" buffer that
gets reused for each output. When running:

  git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objectname)'

on git.git, my best-of-five time drops from:

  real	0m0.171s
  user	0m0.159s
  sys	0m0.012s

to:

  real	0m0.133s
  user	0m0.121s
  sys	0m0.012s

Note that we could do this just by putting the "scratch"
pointer into "struct expand_data", but I chose instead to
add an extra parameter to the callstack. That's more
verbose, but it makes it a bit more obvious what is going
on, which in turn makes it easy to see where we need to be
releasing the string in the caller (right after the loop
which uses it in each case).

54d2f0d945 cat-file: split batch "buf" into two variables
We use the "buf" strbuf for two things: to read incoming
lines, and as a scratch space for test-expanding the
user-provided format. Let's split this into two variables
with descriptive names, which makes their purpose and
lifetime more clear.

It will also help in a future patch when we start using the
"output" buffer for more expansions.

ced9fff75d cat-file: use oidset check-and-insert
We don't need to check if the oidset has our object before
we insert it; that's done as part of the insertion. We can
just rely on the return value from oidset_insert(), which
saves one hash lookup per object.

noise, but the result is simpler to read, too.

c4500e251f attr: remove index from git_attr_set_direction()
Since attr checking API now take the index, there's no need to set an
index in advance with this call. Most call sites are straightforward
because they either pass the_index or NULL (which defaults back to
the_index previously). There's only one suspicious call site in
unpack-trees.c where it sets a different index.

This code in unpack-trees is about to check out entries from the
new/temporary index after merging is done in it. The attributes will
be used by entry.c code to do crlf conversion if needed. entry.c now
respects struct checkout's istate field, and this field is correctly
set in unpack-trees.c, there should be no regression from this change.

7a400a2c02 attr: remove an implicit dependency on the_index
Make the attr API take an index_state instead of assuming the_index in
attr code. All call sites are converted blindly to keep the patch
simple and retain current behavior. Individual call sites may receive
further updates to use the right index instead of the_index.

There is one ugly temporary workaround added in attr.c that needs some
more explanation.

Commit c24f3abace (apply: file commited with CRLF should roundtrip
diff and apply - 2017-08-19) forces one convert_to_git() call to NOT
read the index at all. But what do you know, we read it anyway by
falling back to the_index. When "istate" from convert_to_git is now
propagated down to read_attr_from_array() we will hit segfault
somewhere inside read_blob_data_from_index.

The right way of dealing with this is to kill "use_index" variable and
only follow "istate" but at this stage we are not ready for that:
while most git_attr_set_direction() calls just passes the_index to be
assigned to use_index, unpack-trees passes a different one which is
used by entry.c code, which has no way to know what index to use if we
delete use_index. So this has to be done later.

ff7fe37b05 diff.c: move read_index() code back to the caller
This code is only needed for diff-tree (since f0c6b2a2fd ([PATCH]
Optimize diff-tree -[CM] --stdin - 2005-05-27)). Let the caller do the
preparation instead and avoid read_index() in diff.c code.

read_index() should be avoided (in addition to the_index) because it
uses get_index_file() underneath to get the path $GIT_DIR/index. This
effectively pulls the_repository in and may become the only reason to
pull a 'struct repository *' in diff.c. Let's keep the dependencies as
few as possible and kick it back to diff-tree.c

0750bb5b51 cat-file: support "unordered" output for --batch-all-objects
If you're going to access the contents of every object in a
packfile, it's generally much more efficient to do so in
pack order, rather than in hash order. That increases the
locality of access within the packfile, which in turn is
friendlier to the delta base cache, since the packfile puts
related deltas next to each other. By contrast, hash order
is effectively random, since the sha1 has no discernible
relationship to the content.

This patch introduces an "--unordered" option to cat-file
which iterates over packs in pack-order under the hood. You
can see the results when dumping all of the file content:

  $ time ./git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c
  6883195596

  real	0m44.491s
  user	0m42.902s
  sys	0m5.230s

  $ time ./git cat-file --unordered \
                        --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch | wc -c
  6883195596

  real	0m6.075s
  user	0m4.774s
  sys	0m3.548s

Same output, different order, way faster. The same speed-up
applies even if you end up accessing the object content in a
different process, like:

  git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check |
  grep blob |
  git cat-file --batch='%(objectname) %(rest)' |
  wc -c

Adding "--unordered" to the first command drops the runtime
in git.git from 24s to 3.5s.

  Side note: there are actually further speedups available
  for doing it all in-process now. Since we are outputting
  the object content during the actual pack iteration, we
  know where to find the object and could skip the extra
  lookup done by oid_object_info(). This patch stops short
  of that optimization since the underlying API isn't ready
  for us to make those sorts of direct requests.

So if --unordered is so much better, why not make it the
default? Two reasons:

  1. We've promised in the documentation that --batch-all-objects
     outputs in hash order. Since cat-file is plumbing,
     people may be relying on that default, and we can't
     change it.

  2. It's actually _slower_ for some cases. We have to
     compute the pack revindex to walk in pack order. And
     our de-duplication step uses an oidset, rather than a
     sort-and-dedup, which can end up being more expensive.
     If we're just accessing the type and size of each
     object, for example, like:

       git cat-file --batch-all-objects --buffer --batch-check

     my best-of-five warm cache timings go from 900ms to
     1100ms using --unordered. Though it's possible in a
     cold-cache or under memory pressure that we could do
     better, since we'd have better locality within the
     packfile.

And one final question: why is it "--unordered" and not
"--pack-order"? The answer is again two-fold:

  1. "pack order" isn't a well-defined thing across the
     whole set of objects. We're hitting loose objects, as
     well as objects in multiple packs, and the only
     ordering we're promising is _within_ a single pack. The
     rest is apparently random.

  2. The point here is optimization. So we don't want to
     promise any particular ordering, but only to say that
     we will choose an ordering which is likely to be
     efficient for accessing the object content. That leaves
     the door open for further changes in the future without
     having to add another compatibility option.

b1adb38458 cat-file: rename batch_{loose,packed}_object callbacks
We're not really doing the batch-show operation in these
callbacks, but just collecting the set of objects. That
distinction will become more important in a future patch, so
let's rename them now to avoid cluttering that diff.

275267937b range-diff: make --dual-color the default mode
After using this command extensively for the last two months, this
developer came to the conclusion that even if the dual color mode still
leaves a lot of room for confusion about what was actually changed, the
non-dual color mode is substantially worse in that regard.

Therefore, we really want to make the dual color mode the default.

31cf61a080 range-diff: offer to dual-color the diffs
When showing what changed between old and new commits, we show a diff of
the patches. This diff is a diff between diffs, therefore there are
nested +/- signs, and it can be relatively hard to understand what is
going on.

With the --dual-color option, the preimage and the postimage are colored
like the diffs they are, and the *outer* +/- sign is inverted for
clarity.
