7d3d226e70 reflog: libify delete reflog function and helpers
Currently stash shells out to reflog in order to delete refs. In an
effort to reduce how much we shell out to a subprocess, libify the
functionality that stash needs into reflog.c.

Add a reflog_delete function that is pretty much the logic in the while
loop in builtin/reflog.c cmd_reflog_delete(). This is a function that
builtin/reflog.c and builtin/stash.c can both call.

Also move functions needed by reflog_delete and export them.

76bccbcfe2 stash: add tests to ensure reflog --rewrite --updatref behavior
There is missing test coverage to ensure that the resulting reflogs
after a git stash drop has had its old oid rewritten if applicable, and
if the refs/stash has been updated if applicable.

Add two tests that verify both of these happen.

e8d56ca863 CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md: update PLC members list
As part of our code of conduct, we maintain a list of active members on
the Project Leadership Committee, which serves a couple of purposes. The
details are in 3f9ef874a7 (CODE_OF_CONDUCT: mention individual
project-leader emails, 2019-09-26), but the gist is as follows:

  - It makes it clear that people with a CoC complaint may contact
    members individually as opposed to the general PLC list (in case the
    subject of their complaint has to do with one of the committee
    members).

  - It also serves as the de-facto list of people on the PLC, which
    isn't committed anywhere else in the tree.

As of [1], Peff is no longer a member of Git's Project Leadership
Committee. Let's update the list of active members accordingly [2].

This also gives us a convenient opportunity to thank Peff for his many
years of service on the PLC, during which he helped the Git community in
more ways than we can easily list here.

4a3d86e1bb merge-ort: make informational messages from recursive merges clearer
This is another simple change with a long explanation...

merge-recursive and merge-ort are both based on the same recursive idea:
if there is more than one merge base, merge the merge bases (which may
require first merging the merge bases of the merges bases, etc.).  The
depth of the inner merge is recorded via a variable called "call_depth",
which we'll bring up again later.  Naturally, the inner merges
themselves can have conflicts and various messages generated about those
files.

merge-recursive immediately prints to stdout as it goes, at the risk of
printing multiple conflict notices for the same path separated far apart
from each other with many intervenining conflict notices for other paths
between them.  And this is true even if there are no inner merges
involved.  An example of this was given in [1] and apparently caused
some confusion:

    CONFLICT (rename/add): Rename A->B in HEAD. B added in otherbranch
    ...dozens of conflicts for OTHER paths...
    CONFLICT (content): Merge conflicts in B

In contrast, merge-ort collects messages and stores them by path so that
it can print them grouped by path.  Thus, the same case handled by
merge-ort would have output of the form:

    CONFLICT (rename/add): Rename A->B in HEAD. B added in otherbranch
    CONFLICT (content): Merge conflicts in B
    ...dozens of conflicts for OTHER paths...

This is generally helpful, but does make a separate bug more
problematic.  In particular, while merge-recursive might report the
following for a recursive merge:

      Auto-merging dir.c
      Auto-merging midx.c
      CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in midx.c
    Auto-merging diff.c
    Auto-merging dir.c
    CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in dir.c

merge-ort would instead report:

    Auto-merging diff.c
    Auto-merging dir.c
    Auto-merging dir.c
    CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in dir.c
    Auto-merging midx.c
    CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in midx.c

The fact that messages for the same file are together is probably
helpful in general, but with the indentation missing for the inner
merge it unfortunately serves to confuse.  This probably would lead
users to wonder:

  * Why is Git reporting that "dir.c" is being merged twice?
  * If midx.c has conflicts, why do I not see any when I open up the
    file and why are no conflicts shown in the index?

Fix this output confusion by changing the output to clearly
differentiate the messages for outer merges from the ones for inner
merges, changing the above output from merge-ort to:

    Auto-merging diff.c
      From inner merge:  Auto-merging dir.c
    Auto-merging dir.c
    CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in dir.c
      From inner merge:  Auto-merging midx.c
      From inner merge:  CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in midx.c

(Note: the number of spaces after the 'From inner merge:' is
2*call_depth).

One other thing to note here, that I didn't notice until typing up this
commit message, is that merge-recursive does not print any messages from
the inner merges by default; the extra verbosity has to be requested.
merge-ort currently has no verbosity controls and always prints these.
We may also want to change that, but for now, just make the output
clearer with these extra markings and indentation.

97169fc361 grep: fix triggering PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE workaround
PCRE2 bug 2642 was fixed in version 10.36.  Our 95ca1f987e (grep/pcre2:
better support invalid UTF-8 haystacks, 2021-01-24) worked around it on
older versions by setting the flag PCRE2_NO_START_OPTIMIZE.  797c359978
(grep/pcre2: use compile-time PCREv2 version test, 2021-02-18) switched
it around to set the flag on 10.36 and higher instead, while it claimed
to use "the same test done at compile-time".

Switch the condition back to apply the workaround on PCRE2 versions
_before_ 10.36.

26b8946421 dir: force untracked cache with core.untrackedCache
The GIT_FORCE_UNTRACKED_CACHE environment variable writes the untracked
cache more frequently than the core.untrackedCache config variable. This
is due to how read_directory() handles the creation of an untracked
cache.

Before this change, Git would not create the untracked cache extension
for an index that did not already have one. Users would need to run a
command such as 'git update-index --untracked-cache' before the index
would actually contain an untracked cache.

In particular, users noticed that the untracked cache would not appear
even with core.untrackedCache=true. Some users reported setting
GIT_FORCE_UNTRACKED_CACHE=1 in their engineering system environment to
ensure the untracked cache would be created.

The decision to not write the untracked cache without an environment
variable tracks back to fc9ecbeb9 (dir.c: don't flag the index as dirty
for changes to the untracked cache, 2018-02-05). The motivation of that
change is that writing the index is expensive, and if the untracked
cache is the only thing that needs to be written, then it is more
expensive than the benefit of the cache. However, this also means that
the untracked cache never gets populated, so the user who enabled it via
config does not actually get the extension until running 'git
update-index --untracked-cache' manually or using the environment
variable.

We have had a version of this change in the microsoft/git fork for a few
major releases now. It has been working well to get users into a good
state. Yes, that first index write is slow, but the remaining index
writes are much faster than they would be without this change.
