887952b8c6 ("fetch: optionally allow disabling FETCH_HEAD update",
2020-08-18) introduced the ability to disable writing to FETCH_HEAD
during fetch, but did not suppress the "<source> -> FETCH_HEAD" message
when this ability is used. This message is misleading in this case,
because FETCH_HEAD is not written. Also, because "fetch" is used to
lazy-fetch missing objects in a partial clone, this significantly
clutters up the output in that case since the objects to be fetched are
potentially numerous.
Therefore, suppress this message when --no-write-fetch-head is passed
(but not when --dry-run is set).

Now that we officially permit repository extensions in repository
format v0, permit upgrading a repository with extensions from v0 to v1
as well.
For example, this means a repository where the user has set
"extensions.preciousObjects" can use "git fetch --filter=blob:none
origin" to upgrade the repository to use v1 and the partial clone
extension.
To avoid mistakes, continue to forbid repository format upgrades in v0
repositories with an unrecognized extension. This way, a v0 user
using a misspelled extension field gets a chance to correct the
mistake before updating to the less forgiving v1 format.
While we're here, make the error message for failure to upgrade the
repository format a bit shorter, and present it as an error, not a
warning.

This reverts commit 14c7fa269e.
The core.repositoryFormatVersion field was introduced in ab9cb76f66
(Repository format version check., 2005-11-25), providing a welcome
bit of forward compatibility, thanks to some welcome analysis by
Martin Atukunda. The semantics are simple: a repository with
core.repositoryFormatVersion set to 0 should be comprehensible by all
Git implementations in active use; and Git implementations should
error out early instead of trying to act on Git repositories with
higher core.repositoryFormatVersion values representing new formats
that they do not understand.
A new repository format did not need to be defined until 00a09d57eb
(introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversion,
2015-06-23). This provided a finer-grained extension mechanism for
Git repositories. In a repository with core.repositoryFormatVersion
set to 1, Git implementations can act on "extensions.*" settings that
modify how a repository is interpreted. In repository format version
1, unrecognized extensions settings cause Git to error out.
What happens if a user sets an extension setting but forgets to
increase the repository format version to 1? The extension settings
were still recognized in that case; worse, unrecognized extensions
settings do *not* cause Git to error out. So combining repository
format version 0 with extensions settings produces in some sense the
worst of both worlds.
To improve that situation, since 14c7fa269e
(check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old
repositories, 2020-06-05) Git instead ignores extensions in v0 mode.
This way, v0 repositories get the historical (pre-2015) behavior and
maintain compatibility with Git implementations that do not know about
the v1 format. Unfortunately, users had been using this sort of
configuration and this behavior change came to many as a surprise:
- users of "git config --worktree" that had followed its advice
to enable extensions.worktreeConfig (without also increasing the
repository format version) would find their worktree configuration
no longer taking effect
- tools such as copybara[*] that had set extensions.partialClone in
existing repositories (without also increasing the repository format
version) would find that setting no longer taking effect
The behavior introduced in 14c7fa269e might be a good behavior if we
were traveling back in time to 2015, but we're far too late. For some
reason I thought that it was what had been originally implemented and
that it had regressed. Apologies for not doing my research when
14c7fa269e was under development.
Let's return to the behavior we've had since 2015: always act on
extensions.* settings, regardless of repository format version. While
we're here, include some tests to describe the effect on the "upgrade
repository version" code path.

Previously, extensions were recognized regardless of repository format
version. If the user sets an undefined "extensions" value on a
repository of version 0 and that value is used by a future git version,
they might get an undesired result.
Because all extensions now also upgrade repository versions, tightening
the check would help avoid this for future extensions.

Retroactively adding a filter can be useful for existing shallow clones as
they allow users to see earlier change histories without downloading all
git objects in a regular --unshallow fetch.
Without this patch, users can make a clone partial by editing the
repository configuration to convert the remote into a promisor, like:
git config core.repositoryFormatVersion 1
git config extensions.partialClone origin
git fetch --unshallow --filter=blob:none origin
Since the hard part of making this work is already in place and such
edits can be error-prone, teach Git to perform the required configuration
change automatically instead.
Note that this change does not modify the existing git behavior which
recognizes setting extensions.partialClone without changing
repositoryFormatVersion.

cache-tree: do not lazy-fetch tentative tree
Previously, when promisor_remote_move_to_tail() is called for a
promisor_remote which is currently the final element in promisors, a
cycle is created in the promisors linked list. This cycle leads to a
double free later on in promisor_remote_clear() when the final element
of the promisors list is removed: promisors is set to promisors->next (a
no-op, as promisors->next == promisors); the previous value of promisors
is free()'d; then the new value of promisors (which is equal to the
previous value of promisors) is also free()'d. This double-free error
was unrecoverable for the user without removing the filter or re-cloning
the repo and hoping to miss this edge case.
Now, when promisor_remote_move_to_tail() would be a no-op, just do a
no-op. In cases of promisor_remote_move_to_tail() where r is not already
at the tail of the list, it works as before.

The cache-tree datastructure is used to speed up the comparison
between the HEAD and the index, and when the index is updated by
a cherry-pick (for example), a tree object that would represent
the paths in the index in a directory is constructed in-core, to
see if such a tree object exists already in the object store.
When the lazy-fetch mechanism was introduced, we converted this
"does the tree exist?" check into an "if it does not, and if we
lazily cloned, see if the remote has it" call by mistake. Since
the whole point of this check is to repair the cache-tree by
recording an already existing tree object opportunistically, we
shouldn't even try to fetch one from the remote.
Pass the OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT flag to make sure we only
check for existence in the local object store without triggering the
lazy fetch mechanism.

Several test scripts run daemons like 'git-daemon' or Apache, and
communicate with them through TCP sockets. To have unique ports where
these daemons are accessible, the ports are usually the number of the
corresponding test scripts, unless the user overrides them via
environment variables, and thus all those tests and test libs contain
more or less the same bit of one-liner boilerplate code to find out
the port. The last patch in this series will make this a bit more
complicated.
Factor out finding the port for a daemon into the common helper
function 'test_set_port' to avoid repeating ourselves.
Take special care of test scripts with "low" numbers:
- Test numbers below 1024 would result in a port that's only usable
as root, so set their port to '10000 + test-nr' to make sure it
doesn't interfere with other tests in the test suite. This makes
the hardcoded port number in 't0410-partial-clone.sh' unnecessary,
remove it.
- The shell's arithmetic evaluation interprets numbers with leading
zeros as octal values, which means that test number below 1000 and
containing the digits 8 or 9 will trigger an error. Remove all
leading zeros from the test numbers to prevent this.
Note that the 'git p4' tests are unlike the other tests involving
daemons in that:
- 'lib-git-p4.sh' doesn't use the test's number for unique port as
is, but does a bit of additional arithmetic on top [1].
- The port is not overridable via an environment variable.
With this patch even 'git p4' tests will use the test's number as
default port, and it will be overridable via the P4DPORT environment
variable.
[1] Commit fc00233071 (git-p4 tests: refactor and cleanup, 2011-08-22)
introduced that "unusual" unique port computation without
explaining why it was necessary (as opposed to simply using the
test number as is). It seems to be just unnecessary complication,
and in any case that commit came way before the "test nr as unique
port" got "standardized" for other daemons in commits c44132fcf3

A partial clone that is configured to lazily fetch missing objects
will on-demand issue a "git fetch" request to the originating
repository to fill not-yet-obtained objects. The request has been
optimized for requesting a tree object (and not the leaf blob
objects contained in it) by telling the originating repository that
no blobs are needed.

A partial clone with missing trees can be obtained using "git clone
--filter=tree:none <repo>". In such a repository, when a tree needs to
be lazily fetched, any tree or blob it directly or indirectly references
is fetched as well, regardless of whether the original command required
those objects, or if the local repository already had some of them.
This is because the fetch protocol, which the lazy fetch uses, does not
allow clients to request that only the wanted objects be sent, which
would be the ideal solution. This patch implements a partial solution:
specify the "blob:none" filter, somewhat reducing the fetch payload.
This change has no effect when lazily fetching blobs (due to how filters
work). And if lazily fetching a commit (such repositories are difficult
to construct and is not a use case we support very well, but it is
possible), referenced commits and trees are still fetched - only the
blobs are not fetched.
The necessary code change is done in fetch_pack() instead of somewhere
closer to where the "filter" instruction is written to the wire so that
only one part of the code needs to be changed in order for users of all
protocol versions to benefit from this optimization.

The commit-graph feature is tested in isolation by

more interesting scenarios involving commit walks. Many of these
scenarios are covered by the existing test suite, but we need to
maintain coverage when the optional commit-graph structure is not
present.
To allow running the full test suite with the commit-graph present,
add a new test environment variable, GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH. Similar
to GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX, this variable makes every Git command try
to load the commit-graph when parsing commits, and writes the
commit-graph file after every 'git commit' command.
There are a few tests that rely on commits not existing in
pack-files to trigger important events, so manually set
GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH to false for the necessary commands.
There is one test in t6024-recursive-merge.sh that relies on the
merge-base algorithm picking one of two ambiguous merge-bases, and
the commit-graph feature changes which merge-base is picked.

Teach sha1_file to fetch objects from the remote configured in
extensions.partialclone whenever an object is requested but missing.
The fetching of objects can be suppressed through a global variable.
This is used by fsck and index-pack.
However, by default, such fetching is not suppressed. This is meant as a
temporary measure to ensure that all Git commands work in such a
situation. Future patches will update some commands to either tolerate
missing objects (without fetching them) or be more efficient in fetching
them.
In order to determine the code changes in sha1_file.c necessary, I
investigated the following:
(1) functions in sha1_file.c that take in a hash, without the user
regarding how the object is stored (loose or packed)
(2) functions in packfile.c (because I need to check callers that know
about the loose/packed distinction and operate on both differently,
and ensure that they can handle the concept of objects that are
neither loose nor packed)
(1) is handled by the modification to sha1_object_info_extended().
For (2), I looked at for_each_packed_object and others. For
for_each_packed_object, the callers either already work or are fixed in
this patch:
- reachable - only to find recent objects
- builtin/fsck - already knows about missing objects
- builtin/cat-file - warning message added in this commit
Callers of the other functions do not need to be changed:
- parse_pack_index
- http - indirectly from http_get_info_packs
- find_pack_entry_one
- this searches a single pack that is provided as an argument; the
caller already knows (through other means) that the sought object
is in a specific pack
- find_sha1_pack
- fast-import - appears to be an optimization to not store a file if
it is already in a pack
- http-walker - to search through a struct alt_base
- http-push - to search through remote packs
- has_sha1_pack
- builtin/fsck - already knows about promisor objects
- builtin/count-objects - informational purposes only (check if loose
object is also packed)
- builtin/prune-packed - check if object to be pruned is packed (if
not, don't prune it)
- revision - used to exclude packed objects if requested by user
- diff - just for optimization

available in remote storage, ready to be lazily downloaded.
