Fix a regression in the error output emitted when .git/objects can't
be written to. Before 9c4d6c0297 (cache-tree: Write updated
cache-tree after commit, 2014-07-13) we'd emit only one "insufficient
permission" error, now we'll do so again.
The cause is rather straightforward, we've got WRITE_TREE_SILENT for
the use-case of wanting to prepare an index silently, quieting any
permission etc. error output. Then when we attempt to update to
that (possibly broken) index we'll run into the same errors again.
But with 9c4d6c0297 the gap between the cache-tree API and the object
store wasn't closed in terms of asking write_object_file() to be
silent. I.e. post-9c4d6c0297b the first call is to prepare_index(),
and after that we'll call prepare_to_commit(). We only want verbose
error output from the latter.
So let's add and use that facility with a corresponding HASH_SILENT
flag, its only user is cache-tree.c's update_one(), which will set it
if its "WRITE_TREE_SILENT" flag is set.

In preparation for fixing a regression where we started emitting some
of these error messages twice, let's assert what the output from "git
commit" and friends is now in the case of permission errors.
As noted in [1] using test_expect_failure to mark up a TODO test has
some unexpected edge cases, e.g. we don't want to break --run=3 by
skipping the "test_lazy_prereq" here. This pattern allows us to test
just the test_cmp (and the "cat", which shouldn't fail) with the added
"test_expect_failure", we'll flip that to a "test_expect_success" in
the next commit.

Earlier "git log -m" was changed to always produce patch output,
which would break existing scripts, which has been reverted.
* jn/log-m-does-not-imply-p:
Revert 'diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"'
This reverts commit f5bfcc823b, which
made "git log -m" imply "--patch" by default. The logic was that
"-m", which makes diff generation for merges perform a diff against
each parent, has no use unless I am viewing the diff, so we could save
the user some typing by turning on display of the resulting diff
automatically. That wasn't expected to adversely affect scripts
because scripts would either be using a command like "git diff-tree"
that already emits diffs by default or would be combining -m with a
diff generation option such as --name-status. By saving typing for
interactive use without adversely affecting scripts in the wild, it
would be a pure improvement.
The problem is that although diff generation options are only relevant
for the displayed diff, a script author can imagine them affecting
path limiting. For example, I might run
git log -w --format=%H -- README
hoping to list commits that edited README, excluding whitespace-only
changes. In fact, a whitespace-only change is not TREESAME so the use
of -w here has no effect (since we don't apply these diff generation
flags to the diff_options struct rev_info::pruning used for this
purpose), but the documentation suggests that it should work
Suppose you specified foo as the <paths>. We shall call
commits that modify foo !TREESAME, and the rest TREESAME. (In
a diff filtered for foo, they look different and equal,
respectively.)
and a script author who has not tested whitespace-only changes
wouldn't notice.
Similarly, a script author could include
git log -m --first-parent --format=%H -- README
to filter the first-parent history for commits that modified README.
The -m is a no-op but it reflects the script author's intent. For
example, until 1e20a407fe (stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git
log", 2021-05-21), "git stash list" did this.
As a result, we can't safely change "-m" to imply "-p" without fear of
breaking such scripts. Restore the previous behavior.
Noticed because Rust's src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py made use of this
same construct: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87513. That
script has been updated to omit the unnecessary "-m" option, but we
can expect other scripts in the wild to have similar expectations.

When performing a rebase, rmdir() is called on the folder .git/logs. On
Unix rmdir() exits without deleting anything in case .git/logs is a
symbolic link but the equivalent functions on Windows (_rmdir, _wrmdir
and RemoveDirectoryW) do not behave the same and remove the folder if it
is symlinked even if it is not empty.
This creates issues when folders in .git/ are symlinks which is
especially the case when git-repo[1] is used: It replaces `.git/logs/`
with a symlink.
One such issue is that the _target_ of that symlink is removed e.g.
during a `git rebase`, where `delete_reflog("REBASE_HEAD")` will not
only try to remove `.git/logs/REBASE_HEAD` but then recursively try to
remove the parent directories until an error occurs, a technique that
obviously relies on `rmdir()` refusing to remove a symlink.
This was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2967.
This commit updates mingw_rmdir() so that its behavior is the same as
Linux rmdir() in case of symbolic links.
To verify that Git does not regress on the reported issue, this patch
adds a regression test for the `git rebase` symptom, even if the same
`rmdir()` behavior is quite likely to cause potential problems in other
Git commands as well.
[1]: git-repo is a python tool built on top of Git which helps manage
many Git repositories. It stores all the .git/ folders in a central
place by taking advantage of symbolic links.

from the promisor remote, which has been corrected to fetch in bulk.
* jt/bulk-prefetch:
cache-tree: prefetch in partial clone read-tree
unpack-trees: refactor prefetching code
With a54e938e5b (strbuf: support long paths w/o read rights in
strbuf_getcwd() on FreeBSD, 2017-03-26) we had t0001 break on systems
like OpenBSD and AIX whose getcwd(3) has standard (but not like glibc
et al) behavior.
This was partially fixed in bed67874e2 (t0001: skip test with
restrictive permissions if getpwd(3) respects them, 2017-08-07).
The problem with that fix is that while its analysis of the problem is
correct, it doesn't actually call getcwd(3), instead it invokes "pwd
-P". There is no guarantee that "pwd -P" is going to call getcwd(3),
as opposed to e.g. being a shell built-in.
On AIX under both bash and ksh this test breaks because "pwd -P" will
happily display the current working directory, but getcwd(3) called by
the "git init" we're testing here will fail to get it.
I checked whether clobbering the $PWD environment variable would
affect it, and it didn't. Presumably these shells keep track of their
working directory internally.
There's possible follow-up work here in teaching strbuf_getcwd() to
get the working directory with whatever method "pwd" uses on these
platforms. See [1] for a discussion of that, but let's take the easy
way out here and just skip these tests by fixing the
GETCWD_IGNORES_PERMS prerequisite to match the limitations of
strbuf_getcwd().

Since 'git merge' learned '--autostash' in a03b55530a (merge: teach
--autostash option, 2020-04-07), 'cmd_merge', once it is determined that
we have to create a merge commit, calls 'create_autostash' if
'--autostash' is given.
As explained in a03b55530a, and made more abvious by the tests added in
that commit, the autostash is then applied if the merge succeeds, either
directly or by committing (after conflict resolution or if '--no-commit'
was given), or if the merge is aborted with 'git merge --abort'. In some
other cases, like the user calling 'git reset --merge' or 'git merge
--quit', the autostash is not applied, but saved in the stash list.
However, there exists a scenario that creates an autostash but does not
apply nor save it to the stash list: if the chosen merge strategy
completely fails to handle the merge, i.e. 'try_merge_strategy' returns
2.
Apply the autostash in that case also. An easy way to test that is to
try to merge more than two commits but explicitely ask for the 'recursive'
merge strategy.

Change the bundle tests to fully compare the expected "git ls-remote"
or "git bundle list-heads" output, instead of merely grepping it.
This avoids subtle regressions in the tests. In
f62e0a39b6 (t5704 (bundle): add tests for bundle --stdin, 2010-04-19)
the "bundle --stdin <rev-list options>" test was added to make sure we
didn't include the tag.
But since the --stdin mode didn't work until 5bb0fd2cab (bundle:
arguments can be read from stdin, 2021-01-11) our grepping of
"master" (later "main") missed the important part of the test.
Namely that we should not include the "refs/tags/tag" tag in that
case. Since the test only grepped for "main" in the output we'd miss a
regression in that code.
So let's use test_cmp instead, and also in the other nearby tests
where it's easy.
This does make things a bit more verbose in the case of the test
that's checking the bundle header, since it's different under SHA1 and
SHA256. I think this makes test easier to follow.
I've got some WIP changes to extend the "git bundle" command to dump
parts of the header out, which are easier to understand if we test the
output explicitly like this.

When running unpack_trees() with a sparse index, we attempt to operate
on the index without expanding the sparse directory entries. Thus, we
operate by manipulating entire directories and passing them to the
unpack function. In the case of the 'git checkout' command, this is the
twoway_merge() function.
There are several cases in twoway_merge() that handle different
situations. One new one to add is the case of a directory/file conflict
where the directory is sparse. Before the sparse index, such a conflict
would appear as a list of file additions and deletions. Now,
twoway_merge() initializes 'current', 'oldtree', and 'newtree' from
src[0], src[1], and src[2], then sets 'oldtree' to NULL because it is
equal to the df_conflict_entry. The way to determine that we have a
directory/file conflict is to test that 'current' and 'newtree' disagree
on being sparse directory entries.
When we are in this case, we want to resolve the situation by calling
merged_entry(). This allows replacing the 'current' entry with the
'newtree' entry. This is important for cases where we want to run 'git
checkout' across the conflict and have the new HEAD represent the new
file type at that path. The first NEEDSWORK comment dropped in t1092
demonstrates this necessary behavior.
However, we still are in a confusing state when 'current' corresponds to
a staged change within a sparse directory that is not present at HEAD.
This should be atypical, because it requires adding a change outside of
the sparse-checkout cone, but it is possible. Since we are unable to
determine that this is a staged change within twoway_merge(), we cannot
add a case to reject the merge at this point. I believe this is due to
the use of df_conflict_entry in the place of 'oldtree' instead of using
the valud at HEAD, which would provide some perspective to this
decision. Any change that would allow this differentiation for staged
entries would need to involve information further up in unpack_trees().
That work should be done, sometime, because we are further confusing the
behavior of a directory/file conflict when staging a change in the
directory. The two cases 'checkout behaves oddly with df-conflict-?' in
t1092 demonstrate that even without a sparse-checkout, Git is not
consistent in its behavior. Neither of the two options seems correct,
either. This change makes the sparse-index behave differently than the
typcial sparse-checkout case, but it does match the full checkout
behavior in the df-conflict-2 case.

Add new branches to the test repo that demonstrate directory/file
conflicts in different ways. Since the directory 'folder1/' has
adjacent files 'folder1-', 'folder1.txt', and 'folder10' it causes
searches for 'folder1/' to land in a different place in the index than a
search for 'folder1'. This causes a change in behavior when working with
the df-conflict-1 and df-conflict-2 branches, whose only difference is
that the first uses 'folder1' as the conflict and the other uses
'folder2' which does not have these adjacent files.
We can extend two tests that compare the behavior across different 'git
checkout' commands, and we see already that the behavior will be
different in some cases and not in others. The difference between the
two test loops is that one uses 'git reset --hard' between iterations.
Further, we isolate the behavior of creating a staged change within a
directory and then checking out a branch where that directory is
replaced with a file. A full checkout behaves differently across these
two cases, while a sparse-checkout cone behaves consistently. In both
cases, the behavior is wrong. In one case, the staged change is dropped
entirely. The other case the staged change is kept, replacing the file
at that location, but none of the other files in the directory are kept.
Likely, the correct behavior in this case is to reject the checkout and
report the conflict, leaving HEAD in its previous location. None of the
cases behave this way currently. Use comments to demonstrate that the
tested behavior is only a documentation of the current, incorrect
behavior to ensure we do not _accidentally_ change it. Instead, we would
prefer to change it on purpose with a future change.
At this point, the sparse-index does not handle these 'git checkout'
commands correctly. Or rather, it _does_ reject the 'git checkout' when
we have the staged change, but for the wrong reason. It also rejects the
'git checkout' commands when there is no staged change and we want to
replace a directory with a file. A fix for that unstaged case will
follow in the next change, but that will make the sparse-index agree
with the full checkout case in these documented incorrect behaviors.

The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions:
collect_merge_info()
detect_and_process_renames()
process_entries()
Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half
dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed
by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames(). When the
trivial directory resolution applies, it often dramatically decreases
the amount of time spent in the two slower functions.
Looking at the performance results in the previous commit, the trivial
directory resolution optimization helps amazingly well when there are no
relevant renames. It also helps really well when reapplying a long
series of linear commits (such as in a rebase or cherry-pick), since the
relevant renames may well be cached from the first reapplied commit.
But when there are any relevant renames that are not cached (represented
by the just-one-mega testcase), then the optimization does not help at
all.
Often, I noticed that when the optimization does not apply, it is
because there are a handful of relevant sources -- maybe even only one.
It felt frustrating to need to recurse into potentially hundreds or even
thousands of directories just for a single rename, but it was needed for
correctness.
However, staring at this list of functions and noticing that
process_entries() is the most expensive and knowing I could avoid it if
I had cached renames suggested a simple idea: change
collect_merge_info()
detect_and_process_renames()
process_entries()
into
collect_merge_info()
detect_and_process_renames()
<cache all the renames, and restart>
collect_merge_info()
detect_and_process_renames()
process_entries()
This may seem odd and look like more work. However, note that although
we run collect_merge_info() twice, the second time we get to employ
trivial directory resolves, which makes it much faster, so the increased
time in collect_merge_info() is small. While we run
detect_and_process_renames() again, all renames are cached so it's
nearly a no-op (we don't call into diffcore_rename_extended() but we do
have a little bit of data structure checking and fixing up). And the
big payoff comes from the fact that process_entries(), will be much
faster due to having far fewer entries to process.
This restarting only makes sense if we can save recursing into enough
directories to make it worth our while. Introduce a simple heuristic to
guide this. Note that this heuristic uses a "wanted_factor" that I have
virtually no actual real world data for, just some back-of-the-envelope
quasi-scientific calculations that I included in some comments and then
plucked a simple round number out of thin air. It could be that
tweaking this number to make it either higher or lower improves the
optimization. (There's slightly more here; when I first introduced this
optimization, I used a factor of 10, because I was completely confident
it was big enough to not cause slowdowns in special cases. I was
certain it was higher than needed. Several months later, I added the
rough calculations which make me think the optimal number is close to 2;
but instead of pushing to the limit, I just bumped it to 3 to reduce the
risk that there are special cases where this optimization can result in
slowing down the code a little. If the ratio of path counts is below 3,
we probably will only see minor performance improvements at best
anyway.)
Also, note that while the diffstat looks kind of long (nearly 100
lines), more than half of it is in two comments explaining how things
work.
For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin

Testcases in t0000 are quite special given that they many of them run
nested testcases to verify that testing functionality itself works as
expected. These nested testcases are realized by writing a new ad-hoc
test script which again sources test-lib.sh, where the new script is
created in a nested subdirectory located beneath the current trash
directory. We then execute the new test script with the nested
subdirectory as current working directory and explicitly re-export
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to point to that directory.
While this works as expected in the general case, it falls apart when
the developer has TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY explicitly defined either via
the environment or via config.mak and runs "make test". In that case,
test-lib.sh will clobber the value that we've just carefully set up to
instead contain what the developer has defined. As a result, the
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY continues to point at the root output directory,
not at the nested one.
This issue causes breakage in the 'test_atexit is run' test case: the
nested test case writes files into "../../", which is assumed to be the
parent's trash directory. But because TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY already
points to to the root output directory, we instead end up writing those
files outside of the output directory. The parent test case will then
try to check whether those files still exist in its own trash directory,
which thus must fail now.
Fix the issue by adding a new TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_OVERRIDE variable.
If set, then we'll always override the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY with its
value after sourcing GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS.

Since cd57bc41bb (builtin/multi-pack-index.c: display usage on
unrecognized command, 2021-03-30) we have used a "usage" label to avoid
having two separate callers of usage_with_options (one when no arguments
are given, and another for unrecognized sub-commands).
But the first caller has been broken since cd57bc41bb, since it will
happily jump to usage without arguments, and then pass argv[0] to the
"unrecognized subcommand" error.
Many compilers will save us from a segfault here, but the end result is
ugly, since it mentions an unrecognized subcommand when we didn't even
pass one, and (on GCC) includes "(null)" in its output.
Move the "usage" label down past the error about unrecognized
subcommands so that it is only triggered when it should be. While we're
at it, bulk up our test coverage in this area, too.

In t0000, we run several fake "sub-test" suites to verify the behavior
of the test suite. But because we don't clear the parent environment
completely, the sub-tests can be fooled by variables meant for the
parent. For example:
GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t1234 ./t0000-basic.sh
fails when a sub-test expects its fake t1234 to actually run. This
particular pattern is unlikely in practice; we're running a single
script, and there is no t1234 in the real test suite anyway (not yet, at
least). A more real-world example is:
GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t[^0]* make test
to run only the t0* tests.
The fix is conceptually simple: we should clear the GIT_SKIP_TESTS
variable when running the sub-tests, because its contents (if any) will
be meant for the main test suite. This is easy to do centrally in our
sub-test helper.
But there's a catch: some of our tests do set GIT_SKIP_TESTS
intentionally to test the feature. We need to allow them to continue to
set it, but clear it for all the other tests. And the sub-test helper
can't tell if the GIT_SKIP_TESTS it sees is from a test or not. We can
handle this by adding a new option to the helper to let callers specify
the skip list.
I considered adding a more general "--eval" option to let callers set up
the env for the sub-test however they like. That would cover this case
and possible future ones. But the quoting gets awkward for the callers
(since we're now 2 layers deep in evals!), so I went with the simpler
more specific solution.

The shell+perl "[de]packetize()" helper functions were added in
4414a15002 (t/lib-git-daemon: add network-protocol helpers,
2018-01-24), and around the same time we added the "pkt-line" helper
in 74e7002961 (test-pkt-line: introduce a packet-line test helper,
2018-03-14).
For some reason it seems we've mostly used the shell+perl version
instead of the helper since then. There were discussions around
88124ab263 (test-lib-functions: make packetize() more efficient,
2020-03-27) and cacae4329f (test-lib-functions: simplify packetize()
stdin code, 2020-03-29) to improve them and make them more efficient.
There was one good reason to do so, we needed an equivalent of
"test-tool pkt-line pack", but that command wasn't capable of handling
input with "\n" (a feature) or "\0" (just because it happens to be
printf-based under the hood).
Let's add a "pkt-line-raw" helper for that, and expose is at a
packetize_raw() to go with the existing packetize() on the shell
level, this gives us the smallest amount of change to the tests
themselves.
