dcaf17c75d Merge branch 'ab/fetch-set-upstream-while-detached'
"git fetch --set-upstream" did not check if there is a current
branch, leading to a segfault when it is run on a detached HEAD,
which has been corrected.

fcd2c3d9d8 reflog + refs-backend: move "verbose" out of the backend
Move the handling of the "verbose" flag entirely out of
"refs/files-backend.c" and into "builtin/reflog.c". This allows the
backend to stop knowing about the EXPIRE_REFLOGS_VERBOSE flag.

The expire_reflog_ent() function shouldn't need to deal with the
implementation detail of whether or not we're emitting verbose output,
by doing this the --verbose output becomes backend-agnostic, so
reftable will get the same output.

I think the output is rather bad currently, and should e.g. be
implemented with some better future mode of progress.[ch], but that's
a topic for another improvement.

7c28875bcd refs files-backend: assume cb->newlog if !EXPIRE_REFLOGS_DRY_RUN
It's not possible for "cb->newlog" to be NULL if
!EXPIRE_REFLOGS_DRY_RUN, since files_reflog_expire() would have
error()'d and taken the "goto failure" branch if it couldn't open the
file. By not using the "newlog" field private to "file-backend.c"'s
"struct expire_reflog_cb", we can move this verbosity logging to
"builtin/reflog.c" in a subsequent commit.

Change the "cmd.stalefix" handling added in 1389d9ddaa (reflog expire
--fix-stale, 2007-01-06) to use a locally scoped "struct
rev_info". This code relies on mark_reachable_objects() twiddling

daf1d8285e reflog expire: don't use lookup_commit_reference_gently()
In the initial implementation of "git reflog" in 4264dc15e1 (git
reflog expire, 2006-12-19) we had this
lookup_commit_reference_gently().

I don't think we've ever found tags that we need to recursively
dereference in reflogs, so this should at least be changed to a
"lookup commit" as I'm doing here, although I can't think of a way
where it mattered in practice.

I also think we'd probably like to just die here if we have a NULL
object, but as this code needs to handle potentially broken
repositories let's just show an "error" but continue, the non-quiet
lookup_commit() will do for us. None of our tests cover the case where
"commit" is NULL after this lookup.

07815e2d97 reflog expire: refactor & use "tip_commit" only for UE_NORMAL
Add an intermediate variable for "tip_commit" in
reflog_expiry_prepare(), and only add it to the struct if we're
handling the UE_NORMAL case.

The code behaves the same way as before, but this makes the control
flow clearer, and the shorter name allows us to fold a 4-line i/else
into a one-line ternary instead.

20d6b6868c reflog expire: use "switch" over enum values
Change code added in 03cb91b18c (reflog --expire-unreachable: special
case entries in "HEAD" reflog, 2010-04-09) to use a "switch" statement
with an exhaustive list of "case" statements instead of doing numeric
comparisons against the enum labels.

Now we won't assume that "x != UE_ALWAYS" means "(x == UE_HEAD || x ||
UE_NORMAL)". That assumption is true now, but we'd introduce subtle
bugs here if that were to change, now the compiler will notice and
error out on such errors.

f2919bae98 reflog: change one->many worktree->refnames to use a string_list
Change the FLEX_ARRAY pattern added in bda3a31cc7 (reflog-expire:
Avoid creating new files in a directory inside readdir(3) loop,
2008-01-25) the string-list API instead.

This does not change any behavior, allows us to delete much of this
code as it's replaced by things we get from the string-list API for
free, as a result we need just one struct to keep track of this data,
instead of two.

The "DUP" -> "string_list_append_nodup(..., strbuf_detach(...))"
pattern here is the same as that used in a recent memory leak fix in
b202e51b15 (grep: fix a "path_list" memory leak, 2021-10-22).

46fbe418b2 reflog expire: narrow scope of "cb" in cmd_reflog_expire()
As with the preceding change for "reflog delete", change the "cb_data"
we pass to callbacks to be &cb.cmd itself, instead of passing &cb and
having the callback lookup cb->cmd.

This makes it clear that the "cb" itself is the same memzero'd
structure on each iteration of the for-loops that use &cb, except for
the "cmd" member.

The "struct expire_reflog_policy_cb" we pass to reflog_expire() will
have the members that aren't "cmd" modified by the callbacks, but
before we invoke them everything except "cmd" is zero'd out.

This included the "tip_commit", "mark_list" and "tips". It might have
looked as though we were re-using those between iterations, but the
first thing we did in reflog_expiry_prepare() was to either NULL them,
or clobber them with another value.

0fe3df45f2 git-p4: remove "rollback" verb
The "rollback" verb implements a simple algorithm which takes the set of
remote perforce tracker branches, or optionally, the complete collection
of local branches in a git repository, and deletes commits from these
branches until there are no commits left with a perforce change number
greater than than a user-specified change number. If the base of a git
branch has a newer change number than the user-specified maximum, then
the branch is deleted.

In future, there might be an argument for the addition of some kind of
"reset this branch back to a given perforce change number" verb for
git-p4. However, in its current form it is unlikely to be useful to
users for the following reasons:

  * The verb is completely undocumented. The only description provided
    contains the following text: "A tool to debug the multi-branch
    import. Don't use :)".

  * The verb has a very narrow purpose in that it applies the rollback
    operation to fixed sets of branches - either all remote p4 branches,
    or all local branches. There is no way for users to specify branches
    with more granularity, for example, allowing users to specify a
    single branch or a set of branches. The utility of the current
    implementation is therefore a niche within a niche.

Given these shortcomings, this patch removes the verb from git-p4.

fb8dfc1ccb git-p4: remove "debug" verb
The git-p4 "debug" verb is described as "A tool to debug the output of
p4 -G".

The verb is not documented in any detail, but implements a function
which executes an arbitrary p4 command with the -G flag, which causes
perforce to format all output as marshalled Python dictionary objects.

The verb was implemented early in the history of git-p4, and may once
have served a useful purpose to the authors in the early stages of
development. However, the "debug" verb is no longer being used by the
current developers (and users) of git-p4, and whatever purpose the verb
previously offered is easily replaced by invoking p4 directly.

This patch therefore removes the verb from git-p4.

408c51f0b4 test-read-cache: remove --table, --expand options
This commit effectively reverts 2782db3 (test-tool: don't force full
index, 2021-03-30) and e2df6c3 (test-read-cache: print cache entries
with --table, 2021-03-30) to remove the --table and --expand options
from 'test-tool read-cache'. The previous changes already removed these
options from the test suite in favor of 'git ls-files --sparse'.

The initial thought of creating these options was to allow for tests to
see additional information with every cache entry. In particular, the
object type is still not mirrored in 'git ls-files'. Since sparse
directory entries always end with a slash, the object type is not
critical to verify the sparse index is enabled. It was thought that it
would be helpful to have additional information, such as flags, but that
was not needed for the FS Monitor integration and hasn't been needed
since.

c2a2940510 t1091/t3705: remove 'test-tool read-cache --table'
Now that 'git ls-files --sparse' exists, we can use it to verify the
state of a sparse index instead of 'test-tool read-cache table'. Replace
these usages within t1091-sparse-checkout-builtin.sh and
t3705-add-sparse-checkout.sh.

The important changes are due to the different output format. In t3705,
we need to use the '--stage' output to get a file mode and OID, but
it also includes a stage value and drops the object type. This leads
to some differences in how we handle looking for specific entries.

In t1091, the test focuses on enabling the sparse index, so we do not
need the --stage flag to demonstrate how the index changes, and instead
can use a diff.

78087097b8 ls-files: add --sparse option
Existing callers to 'git ls-files' are expecting file names, not
directories. It is best to expand a sparse index to show all of the
contained files in this case.

However, expert users may want to inspect the contents of the index
itself including which directories are sparse. Add a --sparse option to
allow users to request this information.

During testing, I noticed that options such as --modified did not affect
the output when the files in question were outside the sparse-checkout
definition. Tests are added to document this preexisting behavior and
how it remains unchanged with the sparse index and the --sparse option.

5a4e0547e2 fetch/pull: use the sparse index
The 'git fetch' and 'git pull' commands parse the index in order to
determine if submodules exist. Without command_requires_full_index=0,
this will expand a sparse index, causing slow performance even when
there is no new data to fetch.

The .gitmodules file will never be inside a sparse directory entry, and
even if it was, the index_name_pos() method would expand the sparse
index if needed as we search for the path by name. These commands do not
iterate over the index, which is the typical thing we are careful about
when integrating with the sparse index.

726a228dfb fast-export: fix surprising behavior with --first-parent
The revision traversal machinery typically processes and returns all
children before any parent.  fast-export needs to operate in the
reverse fashion, handling parents before any of their children in
order to build up the history starting from the root commit(s).  This
would be a clear case where we could just use the revision traversal
machinery's "reverse" option to achieve this desired affect.

However, this wasn't what the code did.  It added its own array for
queuing.  The obvious hand-rolled solution would be to just push all
the commits into the array and then traverse afterwards, but it didn't
quite do that either.  It instead attempted to process anything it
could as soon as it could, and once it could, check whether it could
process anything that had been queued.  As far as I can tell, this was
an effort to save a little memory in the case of multiple root commits
since it could process some commits before queueing all of them.  This
involved some helper functions named has_unshown_parent() and
handle_tail().  For typical invocations of fast-export, this
alternative essentially amounted to a hand-rolled method of reversing
the commits -- it was a bunch of work to duplicate the revision
traversal machinery's "reverse" option.

This hand-rolled reversing mechanism is actually somewhat difficult to
reason about.  It takes some time to figure out how it ensures in
normal cases that it will actually process all traversed commits
(rather than just dropping some and not printing anything for them).

And it turns out there are some cases where the code does drop commits
without handling them, and not even printing an error or warning for
the user.  Due to the has_unshown_parent() checks, some commits could
be left in the array at the end of the "while...get_revision()" loop
which would be unprocessed.  This could be triggered for example with
    git fast-export main -- --first-parent
or non-sensical traversal rules such as
    git fast-export main -- --grep=Merge --invert-grep

While most traversals that don't include all parents should likely
trigger errors in fast-export (or at least require being used in
combination with --reference-excluded-parents), the --first-parent
traversal is at least reasonable and it'd be nice if it didn't just drop
commits. It'd also be nice for future readers of the code to have a
simpler "reverse traversal" mechanism. Use the "reverse" option of the
revision traversal machinery to achieve both.

Even for the non-sensical traversal flags like the --grep one above,
this would be an improvement. For example, in that case, the code
previously would have silently truncated history to only those commits
that do not have an ancestor containing "Merge" in their commit message.
After this code change, that case would include all commits without
"Merge" in their commit message -- but any commit that previously had a
"Merge"-mentioning parent would lose that parent
(likely resulting in many new root commits). While the new behavior is
still odd, it is at least understandable given that
--reference-excluded-parents is not the default.

d3115660b4 branch: add flags and config to inherit tracking
It can be helpful when creating a new branch to use the existing
tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is
currently not a method to automatically do so.

Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the
"--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the
tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch
point, if set.

For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run
`git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature"
will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far
ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin.

This is particularly useful when creating branches across many
submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with
a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to
manually set tracking info for each submodule.

Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as
another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track"
without an argument still works as well).

Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this
is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

a3f40ec4b0 branch: accept multiple upstream branches for tracking
Add a new static variant of install_branch_config() that accepts
multiple remote branch names for tracking. This will be used in an
upcoming commit that enables inheriting the tracking configuration from
a parent branch.

Currently, all callers of install_branch_config() pass only a single
remote. Make install_branch_config() a small wrapper around
install_branch_config_multiple_remotes() so that existing callers do not
need to be changed.

bd2bc94252 merge: allow to pretend a merge is made into a different branch
When a series of patches for a topic-B depends on having topic-A,
the workflow to prepare the topic-B branch would look like this:

    $ git checkout -b topic-B main
    $ git merge --no-ff --no-edit topic-A
    $ git am <mbox-for-topic-B

When topic-A gets updated, recreating the first merge and rebasing
the rest of the topic-B, all on detached HEAD, is a useful
technique.  After updating topic-A with its new round of patches:

    $ git checkout topic-B
    $ prev=$(git rev-parse 'HEAD^{/^Merge branch .topic-A. into}')
    $ git checkout --detach $prev^1
    $ git merge --no-ff --no-edit topic-A
    $ git rebase --onto HEAD $prev @{-1}^0
    $ git checkout -B @{-1}

This will

 (0) check out the current topic-B.
 (1) find the previous merge of topic-A into topic-B.
 (2) detach the HEAD to the parent of the previous merge.
 (3) merge the updated topic-A to it.
 (4) reapply the patches to rebuild the rest of topic-B.
 (5) update topic-B with the result.

without contaminating the reflog of topic-B too much.  topic-B@{1}
is the "logically previous" state before topic-A got updated, for
example.  At (4), comparison (e.g. range-diff) between HEAD and
@{-1} is a meaningful way to sanity check the result, and the same
can be done at (5) by comparing topic-B and topic-B@{1}.

But there is one glitch.  The merge into the detached HEAD done in
the step (3) above gives us "Merge branch 'topic-A' into HEAD", and
does not say "into topic-B".

Teach the "--into-name=<branch>" option to "git merge" and its
underlying "git fmt-merge-message", to pretend as if we were merging
into <branch>, no matter what branch we are actually merging into,
when they prepare the merge message.  The pretend name honors the
usual "into <target>" suppression mechanism, which can be seen in
the tests added here.

0f829620e6 git-p4: show progress as an integer
When importing files from Perforce, git-p4 periodically logs the
progress of file transfers as a percentage. However, the value is
printed as a float with an excessive number of decimal places.

For example a typical update might contain the following message:

Importing revision 12345 (26.199617677553135%)

This patch simply rounds the value down to the nearest integer
percentage value, greatly improving readability.

ae9b9509a7 git-p4: print size values in appropriate units
The git-p4 script reports file sizes in various log messages.
Previously, in each case the script would print them as the number of
bytes divided by 1048576 i.e. the size in mebibytes, rounded down to an
integer.  This resulted in small files being described as having a size
of "0 MB".

This patch replaces the existing behaviour with a new helper function:
format_size_human_readable, which takes a number of bytes (or any other
quantity), and computes the appropriate prefix to use: none, Ki, Mi, Gi,
Ti, Pi, Ei, Zi, Yi.

For example, a size of 123456 will now be printed as "120.6 KiB" greatly
improving the readability of the log output.

Large valued prefixes such as pebi, exbi, zebi and yobi are included for
completeness, though they not expected to appear in any real-world
Perforce repository!

dc2c44fbb1 grep/pcre2: use PCRE2_UTF even with ASCII patterns
compile_pcre2_pattern() currently uses the option PCRE2_UTF only for
patterns with non-ASCII characters.  Patterns with ASCII wildcards can
match non-ASCII strings, though.  Without that option PCRE2 mishandles
UTF-8 input, though -- it matches parts of multi-byte characters.  Fix
that by using PCRE2_UTF even for ASCII-only patterns.

This is a remake of the reverted ae39ba431a (grep/pcre2: fix an edge

to the condition and the test are simplified and more targeted.

34d607032c git-apply: skip threeway in add / rename cases
Certain invocations of "git apply --3way" will attempt threeway and
fail due to missing objects, even though git is able to fall back on
apply_fragments and apply the patch successfully with a return value
of 0. To fix, return early from try_threeway() in the following
cases:

 - When the patch is a rename and no lines have changed. In this
   case, "git diff" doesn't record the blob info, so 3way is neither
   possible nor necessary.

 - When the patch is an addition and there is no add/add conflict,
   i.e. direct_to_threeway is false. In this case, threeway will
   fail since the preimage is not in cache, but isn't necessary
   anyway since there is no conflict.

This fixes a few unecessary error messages when applying these kinds
of patches with --3way.

It also fixes a reported issue where applying a concatenation of
several git produced patches will fail when those patches involve a
deletion followed by creation of the same file.  Add a test for this
case too.  (test provided by <i@zenithal.me>)

47ca93d071 repack: make '--quiet' disable progress
While testing some ideas in 'git repack', I ran it with '--quiet' and
discovered that some progress output was still shown. Specifically, the
output for writing the multi-pack-index showed the progress.

The 'show_progress' variable in cmd_repack() is initialized with
isatty(2) and is not modified at all by the '--quiet' flag. The
'--quiet' flag modifies the po_args.quiet option which is translated
into a '--quiet' flag for the 'git pack-objects' child process. However,
'show_progress' is used to directly send progress information to the
multi-pack-index writing logic which does not use a child process.

The fix here is to modify 'show_progress' to be false if po_opts.quiet
is true, and isatty(2) otherwise. This new expectation simplifies a
later condition that checks both.

Update the documentation to make it clear that '-q' will disable all
progress in addition to ensuring the 'git pack-objects' child process
will receive the flag.

Use 'test_terminal' to check that this works to get around the isatty(2)
check.
