626beebdf8 connect, protocol: log negotiated protocol version
It is useful for performance monitoring and debugging purposes to know
the wire protocol used for remote operations. This may differ from the
version set in local configuration due to differences in version and/or
configuration between the server and the client. Therefore, log the
negotiated wire protocol version via trace2, for both clients and
servers.

27f45ccf33 ci/install-dependencies: handle "sparse" job package installs
This just matches the style/location of the package installation for
other jobs. There should be no functional change.

I did flip the order of the options and command-name ("-y update"
instead of "update -y") for consistency with other lines in the same
file.

Note also that we have to reorder the dependency install with the
"checkout" action, so that we actually have the "ci" scripts available.

8231c841ff ci: run "apt-get update" before "apt-get install"
The "sparse" workflow runs "apt-get install" to pick up a few necessary
packages. But it needs to run "apt-get update" first, or it risks trying
to download an old package version that no longer exists. And in fact
this happens now, with output like:

  2021-07-26T17:40:51.2554304Z E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

and ci/install-dependencies does the appropriate "apt-get update".

d3da223f22 cache-tree: prefetch in partial clone read-tree
"git read-tree" checks the existence of the blobs referenced by the
given tree, but does not bulk prefetch them. Add a bulk prefetch.

The lack of prefetch here was noticed at $DAYJOB during a merge
involving some specific commits, but I couldn't find a minimal merge
that didn't also trigger the prefetch in check_updates() in
unpack-trees.c (and in all these cases, the lack of prefetch in
cache-tree.c didn't matter because all the relevant blobs would have
already been prefetched by then). This is why I used read-tree here to
exercise this code path.

dc1daacdcc pack-bitmap: check pack validity when opening bitmap
When pack-objects adds an entry to its list of objects to pack, it may
mark the packfile and offset that contains the file, which we can later
use to output the object verbatim.  If the packfile is deleted while we
are running (e.g., by another process running "git repack"), we may die
in use_pack() if the pack file cannot be opened.

We worked around this in 4c08018204 (pack-objects: protect against
disappearing packs, 2011-10-14) by making sure we can open the pack
before recording it as a source. This detects a pack which has already
disappeared while generating the packing list, and because we keep the
pack's file descriptor (or an mmap window) open, it means we can access
it later (unless you exceed core.packedgitlimit).

The bitmap code that was added later does not do this; it adds entries
to the packlist without checking that the packfile is still valid, and
is vulnerable to this race. It needs the same treatment as 4c08018204.

However, rather than add it in just that one spot, it makes more sense
to simply open and check the packfile when we open the bitmap.
Technically you can use the .bitmap without even looking in the .pack
file (e.g., if you are just printing a list of objects without accessing
them), but it's much simpler to do it early. That covers all later
direct uses of the pack (due to the cached descriptor) without having to
check each one directly. For example, in pack-objects we need to protect
the packlist entries, but we also access the pack directly as part of
the reuse_partial_pack_from_bitmap() feature. This patch covers both
cases.

There's no test here, because the problem is inherently racy. I
reproduced and verified the fix with this script:

  rm -rf parent.git push.git fetch.git

  push() {
    (
      cd push.git &&
      echo content >>file &&
      git add file &&
      git commit -qm "change $1" &&
      git push -q origin HEAD &&
      echo "push $1..."
    ) &&
    (
      cd parent.git &&
      git repack -ad -q &&
      echo "repack $1..."
    )
  }

  fetch() {
    rm -rf fetch.git &&
    git clone -q file://$PWD/parent.git fetch.git &&
    echo "fetch $1..."
  }

  git init --bare parent.git &&
  git --git-dir=parent.git config transfer.unpacklimit 1 &&
  git clone parent.git push.git &&
  (for i in `seq 1 1000`; do push $i || break; done) &
  pusher=$!
  (for i in `seq 1 1000`; do fetch $i || break; done) &
  fetcher=$!
  wait $fetcher
  kill $pusher

That simulates a race between a client cloning and a push triggering a
repack on the server. Without this patch, it generally fails within a
couple hundred iterations with:

  remote: fatal: packfile ./objects/pack/.tmp-1377349-pack-498afdec371232bdb99d1757872f5569331da61e.pack cannot be accessed
  error: git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with error.
  fatal: git upload-pack: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
  remote: aborting due to possible repository corruption on the remote side.
  fatal: early EOF
  fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output

With this patch, it reliably runs through all thousand attempts.

63766510a1 bundle tests: use test_cmp instead of grep
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.

ddcb189d9d pack-bitmap: clarify comment in filter_bitmap_exclude_type()
The code that eventually became filter_bitmap_exclude_type() was
originally introduced in 4f3bd5606a (pack-bitmap: implement BLOB_NONE

In 856e12c18a (pack-bitmap.c: make object filtering functions generic,
2020-05-04), it became filter_bitmap_exclude_type(). But not all of the
comments were updated to be agnostic to the provided type.

Remove the remaining comments which should have been updated in
856e12c18a to reflect the type-agnostic nature of the function.

878b399734 doc: clarify description of 'submodule.recurse'
The doc for 'submodule.recurse' starts with "Specifies if commands
recurse into submodles by default". This is not exactly true of all
commands that have a '--recurse-submodules' option. For example, 'git
pull --recurse-submodules' does not run 'git pull' in each submodule,
but rather runs 'git submodule update --recursive' so that the submodule
working trees after the pull matches the commits recorded in the
superproject.

Clarify that by just saying that it enables '--recurse-submodules'.

Note that the way this setting interacts with 'fetch.recurseSubmodules'
and 'push.recurseSubmodules', which can have other values than true or
false, is already documented since 4da9e99e6e (doc: be more precise on
(fetch|push).recurseSubmodules, 2020-04-06).

So let's just mention the names and point people back to the OPTIONS
section. We could perhaps even delete this paragraph entirely, but the
presence of the names may give people reading FILES a clue about where
to look for more information.

b3b186262f doc/git-config: clarify GIT_CONFIG environment variable
The scope and utility of the GIT_CONFIG variable was drastically reduced
by dc87183189 (Only use GIT_CONFIG in "git config", not other programs,
2008-06-30). But the documentation in git-config(1) predates that, which
makes it rather misleading.

These days it is really just another way to say "--file". So let's say
that, and explicitly make it clear that it does not impact other Git
commands (like GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM, etc, would).

I also bumped it to the bottom of the list of variables, and warned
people off of using it. We don't have any plans for deprecation at this
point, but there's little point in encouraging people to use it by
putting it at the top of the list.

4bb9eb5f91 doc/git-config: explain --file instead of referring to GIT_CONFIG
The explanation for the --file option only refers to GIT_CONFIG. This
redirection to an environment variable is confusing, but doubly so
because the description of GIT_CONFIG is out of date.

Let's describe --file from scratch, detailing both the reading and
writing behavior as we do for other similar options like --system, etc.

ade1552598 t0000: fix test if run with TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
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.
