3100fd5588 doc: clarify how exit status of post-checkout hook is used
Because the hook runs after the main checkout operation finishes, it
cannot affect what branch will be the current branch, what paths are
updated in the working tree, etc., which was described as "cannot
affect the outcome of 'checkout'".

However, the exit status of the hook is used as the exit status of
the 'checkout' command and is observable by anybody who spawned the
'checkout', which was missing from the documentation.  Fix this.

d79b145569 t7421: eliminate 'grep' check in t7421.4 for mingw compatibility
The 'grep' check in test 4 of t7421 resulted in the failure of t7421 on
Windows due to a different error message

    error: cannot spawn git: No such file or directory

instead of

    fatal: exec 'rev-parse': cd to 'my-subm' failed: No such file or directory

Tighten up the check to compute 'src_abbrev' by guarding the
'verify_submodule_committish()' call using `p->status !='D'`, so that
the former isn't called in case of non-existent submodule directory,
consequently, there is no such error message on any execution
environment. The same need not be implemented for 'dst_abbrev' and is
rather redundant since the conditional 'if (S_ISGITLINK(p->mod_dst))'
already guards the 'verify_submodule_committish()' when we have a
status of 'D'.

Therefore, eliminate the 'grep' check in t7421. Instead, verify the
absence of an error message by doing a 'test_must_be_empty' on the
file containing the error.

e8e1ff24c5 worktree: add skeleton "repair" command
Worktree administrative files can become corrupted or outdated due to
external factors. Although, it is often possible to recover from such
situations by hand-tweaking these files, doing so requires intimate
knowledge of worktree internals. While information necessary to make
such repairs manually can be obtained from git-worktree.txt and
gitrepository-layout.txt, we can assist users more directly by teaching
git-worktree how to repair its administrative files itself (at least to
some extent). Therefore, add a "git worktree repair" command which
attempts to correct common problems which may arise due to factors
beyond Git's control.

At this stage, the "repair" command is a mere skeleton; subsequent
commits will flesh out the functionality.

We allocate a child_env strvec but never free its memory. Instead, let's

cleaned up automatically when we run the command.

And while we're moving the initialization of the child_process around,

e08f7bb093 builtin/repack.c: invalidate MIDX only when necessary
In 525e18c04b (midx: clear midx on repack, 2018-07-12), 'git repack'
learned to remove a multi-pack-index file if it added or removed a pack
from the object store.

This mechanism is a little over-eager, since it is only necessary to
drop a MIDX if 'git repack' removes a pack that the MIDX references.
Adding a pack outside of the MIDX does not require invalidating the
MIDX, and likewise for removing a pack the MIDX does not know about.

Teach 'git repack' to check for this by loading the MIDX, and checking
whether the to-be-removed pack is known to the MIDX. This requires a
slightly odd alternation to a test in t5319, which is explained with a
comment. A new test is added to show that the MIDX is left alone when
both packs known to it are marked as .keep, but two packs unknown to it
are removed and combined into one new pack.

04a0e98515 revision: set rev_input_given in handle_revision_arg()
Commit 7ba826290a (revision: add rev_input_given flag, 2017-08-02) added
a flag to rev_info to tell whether we got any revision arguments. As
explained there, this is necessary because some revision arguments may
not produce any pending traversal objects, but should still inhibit
default behaviors (e.g., a glob that matches nothing).

However, it only set the flag in the globbing code, but not for
revisions we get on the command-line or via stdin. This leads to two
problems:

  - the command-line code keeps its own separate got_rev_arg flag; this
    isn't wrong, but it's confusing and an extra maintenance burden

  - even specifically-named rev arguments might end up not adding any
    pending objects: if --ignore-missing is set, then specifying a
    missing object is a noop rather than an error.

And that leads to some user-visible bugs:

  - when deciding whether a default rev like "HEAD" should kick in, we
    check both got_rev_arg and rev_input_given. That means that
    "--ignore-missing $ZERO_OID" works on the command-line (where we set
    got_rev_arg) but not on --stdin (where we don't)

  - when rev-list decides whether it should complain that it wasn't
    given a starting point, it relies on rev_input_given. So it can't
    even get the command-line "--ignore-missing $ZERO_OID" right

Let's consistently set the flag if we got any revision argument. That
lets us clean up the redundant got_rev_arg, and fixes both of those bugs
(but note there are three new tests: we'll confirm the already working
git-log command-line case).

A few implementation notes:

  - conceptually we want to set the flag whenever handle_revision_arg()
    finds an actual revision arg ("handles" it, you might say). But it
    covers a ton of cases with early returns. Rather than annotating
    each one, we just wrap it and use its success exit-code to set the
    flag in one spot.

  - the new rev-list test is in t6018, which is titled to cover globs.
    This isn't exactly a glob, but it made sense to stick it with the
    other tests that handle the "even though we got a rev, we have no
    pending objects" case, which are globs.

  - the tests check for the oid of a missing object, which it's pretty
    clear --ignore-missing should ignore. You can see the same behavior
    with "--ignore-missing a-ref-that-does-not-exist", because
    --ignore-missing treats them both the same. That's perhaps less
    clearly correct, and we may want to change that in the future. But
    the way the code and tests here are written, we'd continue to do the
    right thing even if it does.

0a0fbbe3ff refs: remove lookup cache for reference-transaction hook
When adding the reference-transaction hook, there were concerns about
the performance impact it may have on setups which do not make use of
the new hook at all. After all, it gets executed every time a reftx is
prepared, committed or aborted, which linearly scales with the number of
reference-transactions created per session. And as there are code paths
like `git push` which create a new transaction for each reference to be
updated, this may translate to calling `find_hook()` quite a lot.

To address this concern, a cache was added with the intention to not
repeatedly do negative hook lookups. Turns out this cache caused a
regression, which was fixed via e5256c82e5 (refs: fix interleaving hook
calls with reference-transaction hook, 2020-08-07). In the process of
discussing the fix, we realized that the cache doesn't really help even
in the negative-lookup case. While performance tests added to benchmark
this did show a slight improvement in the 1% range, this really doesn't
warrent having a cache. Furthermore, it's quite flaky, too. E.g. running
it twice in succession produces the following results:

Test                         master            pks-reftx-hook-remove-cache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.2: update-ref           2.79(2.16+0.74)   2.73(2.12+0.71) -2.2%
1400.3: update-ref --stdin   0.22(0.08+0.14)   0.21(0.08+0.12) -4.5%

Test                         master            pks-reftx-hook-remove-cache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.2: update-ref           2.70(2.09+0.72)   2.74(2.13+0.71) +1.5%
1400.3: update-ref --stdin   0.21(0.10+0.10)   0.21(0.08+0.13) +0.0%

One case notably absent from those benchmarks is a single executable
searching for the hook hundreds of times, which is exactly the case for
which the negative cache was added. p1400.2 will spawn a new update-ref
for each transaction and p1400.3 only has a single reference-transaction
for all reference updates. So this commit adds a third benchmark, which
performs an non-atomic push of a thousand references. This will create a
new reference transaction per reference. But even for this case, the
negative cache doesn't consistently improve performance:

Test                         master            pks-reftx-hook-remove-cache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.4: nonatomic push       6.63(6.50+0.13)   6.81(6.67+0.14) +2.7%
1400.4: nonatomic push       6.35(6.21+0.14)   6.39(6.23+0.16) +0.6%
1400.4: nonatomic push       6.43(6.31+0.13)   6.42(6.28+0.15) -0.2%

So let's just remove the cache altogether to simplify the code.

When fetching with packfile URIs and transfer.fsckobjects=1, use the
--fsck-objects instead of the --strict flag when invoking index-pack so
that links are not checked, only objects. This is because incomplete
links are expected. (A subsequent connectivity check will be done when
all the packs have been downloaded regardless of whether
transfer.fsckobjects is set.)

This is similar to 98a2ea46c2 ("fetch-pack: do not check links for

bfda204ade checkout, restore: make pathspec recursive
The pathspec given to git checkout and git restore is used with both
tree_entry_interesting (via read_tree_recursive) and match_pathspec
(via ce_path_match).  The latter effectively only supports recursive
matching regardless of the value of the pathspec flag "recursive",
which is unset here.

That causes different match results for pathspecs with wildcards, and
can lead checkout and restore in no-overlay mode to remove entries
instead of modifying them.  Enable recursive matching for both checkout
and restore to make matching consistent.

Setting the flag in checkout_main() technically also affects git switch,
but since that command doesn't accept pathspecs at all this has no
actual consequence.

9ed104e5ca ident: say whose identity is missing when giving user.name hint
If `user.name` and `user.email` have not been configured and the
user invokes:

    git commit --author=...

without specifying the committer identity, then Git errors out with
a message asking the user to configure `user.name` and `user.email`
but doesn't tell the user which attribution was missing. This can be
confusing for a user new to Git who isn't aware of the distinction
between user, author, and committer.

Give such users a bit more help by extending the error message to
also say which attribution is expected.

2c22e102f8 ref-filter: 'contents:trailers' show error if : is missing
The 'contents' atom does not show any error if used with 'trailers'
atom and colon is missing before trailers arguments.

e.g %(contents:trailersonly) works, while it shouldn't.

It is definitely not an expected behavior.

Let's fix this bug.

3046c7f69a diff: index-line: respect --abbrev in object's name
A handful of Git's commands respect `--abbrev' for customizing length
of abbreviation of object names.

For diff-family, Git supports 2 different options for 2 different
purposes, `--full-index' for showing diff-patch object's name in full,
and `--abbrev' to customize the length of object names in diff-raw and
diff-tree header lines, without any options to customise the length of
object names in diff-patch format. When working with diff-patch format,
we only have two options, either full index, or default abbrev length.

Although, that behaviour is documented, it doesn't stop users from
trying to use `--abbrev' with the hope of customising diff-patch's
objects' name's abbreviation.

Let's allow the blob object names shown on the "index" line to be
abbreviated to arbitrary length given via the "--abbrev" option.

To preserve backward compatibility with old script that specify both
`--full-index' and `--abbrev', always show full object id
if `--full-index' is specified.

fc7e73d7ef t4013: improve diff-post-processor logic
From 72f936b1 (t4013: make test hash independent, 2020-02-07),
we started to adjust metadata of git-diff's output in order to
ignore uninteresting metadata which is dependent of underlying hash
algorithm.

However, we forgot to special case all-zero object names, which is
special for missing objects, in consequence, we could't catch
possible future bugs where object names is all-zeros including but
not limited to:
* show intend-to-add entry
* deleted entry
* diff between index and working tree with new file

We also mistakenly munged file-modes as if they were object names
abbreviated to 6 hexadecimal digits.

In addition, in the upcoming change, we would like to test for
customizing the length of abbreviated blob objects on the index line,
which is not supported by current diff-processor logic.

Let's fix the bug for all-zero object names, and file modes.
While we're at it, support abbreviation of object names up to 16 bytes.

fbff95b67f index-pack: adjust default threading cap
Commit b8a2486f15 (index-pack: support multithreaded delta resolving,
2012-05-06) describes an experiment that shows that setting the number
of threads for index-pack higher than 3 does not help.

I repeated that experiment using a more modern version of Git and a more
modern CPU and got different results.

Here are timings for p5302 against linux.git run on my laptop, a Core
i9-9880H with 8 cores plus hyperthreading (so online-cpus returns 16):

  5302.3: index-pack 0 threads                   256.28(253.41+2.79)
  5302.4: index-pack 1 threads                   257.03(254.03+2.91)
  5302.5: index-pack 2 threads                   149.39(268.34+3.06)
  5302.6: index-pack 4 threads                   94.96(294.10+3.23)
  5302.7: index-pack 8 threads                   68.12(339.26+3.89)
  5302.8: index-pack 16 threads                  70.90(655.03+7.21)
  5302.9: index-pack default number of threads   116.91(290.05+3.21)

You can see that wall-clock times continue to improve dramatically up to
the number of cores, but bumping beyond that (into hyperthreading
territory) does not help (and in fact hurts a little).

Here's the same experiment on a machine with dual Xeon 6230's, totaling
40 cores (80 with hyperthreading):

  5302.3: index-pack 0 threads                    310.04(302.73+6.90)
  5302.4: index-pack 1 threads                    310.55(302.68+7.40)
  5302.5: index-pack 2 threads                    178.17(304.89+8.20)
  5302.6: index-pack 5 threads                    99.53(315.54+9.56)
  5302.7: index-pack 10 threads                   72.80(327.37+12.79)
  5302.8: index-pack 20 threads                   60.68(357.74+21.66)
  5302.9: index-pack 40 threads                   58.07(454.44+67.96)
  5302.10: index-pack 80 threads                  59.81(720.45+334.52)
  5302.11: index-pack default number of threads   134.18(309.32+7.98)

The results are similar; things stop improving at 40 threads. Curiously,
going from 20 to 40 really doesn't help much, either (and increases CPU
time considerably). So that may represent an actual barrier to
parallelism, where we lose out due to context-switching and loss of
cache locality, but don't reap the wall-clock benefits due to contention
of our coarse-grained locks.

So what's a good default value? It's clear that the current cap of 3 is
too low; our default values are 42% and 57% slower than the best times
on each machine. The results on the 40-core machine imply that 20
threads is an actual barrier regardless of the number of cores, so we'll
take that as a maximum. We get the best results on these machines at
half of the online-cpus value. That's presumably a result of the
hyperthreading. That's common on multi-core Intel processors, but not
necessarily elsewhere. But if we take it as an assumption, we can
perform optimally on hyperthreaded machines and still do much better
than the status quo on other machines, as long as we never half below
the current value of 3.

So that's what this patch does.

218389b9f3 p5302: count up to online-cpus for thread tests
When PERF_EXTRA is enabled, p5302 checks the performance of index-pack
with various numbers of threads. This can be useful for deciding what
the default should be (which is currently capped at 3 threads based on
the results of this script).

However, we only go up to 8 threads, and modern machines may have more.
Let's get the number of CPUs from test-tool, and test various numbers of
threads between one and that maximum.

Note that the current tests aren't all identical, as we have to set
GIT_FORCE_THREADS for the --threads=1 test (which measures the overhead
of starting a single worker thread versus the "0" case of using the main
thread). To keep the loop simple, we'll keep the "0" case out of it, and
set GIT_FORCE_THREADS=1 for all of the other cases (it's a noop for all
but the "1" case, since numbers higher than 1 would always need
threads).

Note also that we could skip running "test-tool" if PERF_EXTRA isn't
set. However, there's some small value in knowing the number of threads,
so that we can mark each test as skipped in the output.

47274251a4 p5302: disable thread-count parameter tests by default
The primary function of the perf suite is to detect regressions (or
improvements) between versions of Git. The only numbers we show a direct
comparison for are timings between the same test run on two different
versions.

However, it can sometimes be used to collect other information.  For
instance, p5302 runs the same index-pack operation with different thread
counts. The output doesn't directly compare these, but anybody
interested in working on index-pack can manually compare the results.

For a normal regression run of the full perf-suite, though, this incurs
a significant cost to generate numbers nobody will actually look at;
about 25% of the total time of the test suite is spent in p5302. And the
low-thread-count runs are the most expensive part of it, since they're
(unsurprisingly) not using as many threads.

Let's skip these tests by default, but make it possible for people
working on index-pack to still run them by setting an environment
variable. Rather than make this specific to p5302, let's introduce a
generic mechanism. This makes it possible to run the full suite with
every possible test if somebody really wants to burn some CPU.

7303da3002 t7401: use 'short' instead of 'verify' and cut in rev-parse calls
'git rev-parse' can limit the number of characters in the hash it
outputs using the '--short' option, thereby, making the 'cut' invocation
redundant. Since using '--short' implies '--verify' as well, we can
safely replace the latter with the former. This change results in the
helper functions getting the hash in the same way 'summary' gets the
hash internally.

So, avoid the unnecessary invocation to 'cut' in the helper
functions.
