Ever since Git learned to detect its install location at runtime, there
was the slightly awkward problem that it was impossible to specify paths
relative to said location.
For example, if a version of Git was shipped with custom SSL
certificates to use, there was no portable way to specify
`http.sslCAInfo`.
In Git for Windows, the problem was "solved" for years by interpreting
paths starting with a slash as relative to the runtime prefix.
However, this is not correct: such paths _are_ legal on Windows, and
they are interpreted as absolute paths in the same drive as the current
directory.
After a lengthy discussion, and an even lengthier time to mull over the
problem and its best solution, and then more discussions, we eventually
decided to introduce support for the magic sequence `%(prefix)/`. If a
path starts with this, the remainder is interpreted as relative to the
detected (runtime) prefix. If built without runtime prefix support, Git
will simply interpolate the compiled-in prefix.
If a user _wants_ to specify a path starting with the magic sequence,
they can prefix the magic sequence with `./` and voilà, the path won't
be expanded.

It is not immediately clear what `expand_user_path()` means, so let's
rename it to `interpolate_path()`. This also opens the path for
interpolating more than just a home directory.

Originally, we refrained from adding a regression test in 7b6c6496374
(system_path(): Add prefix computation at runtime if RUNTIME_PREFIX set,
2008-08-10), and in 226c0ddd0d (exec_cmd: RUNTIME_PREFIX on some POSIX
systems, 2018-04-10).
The reason was that it was deemed too tricky to test.
Turns out that it is not tricky to test at all: we simply create a
pseudo-root, copy the `git` executable into the `git/` subdirectory of
that pseudo-root, then copy a script into the `libexec/git-core/`
directory and expect that to be picked up.
As long as the trash directory is in a location where binaries can be
executed, this works.

Dash bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dash/+bug/139097
lets the shell erroneously perform field splitting on the expansion of a
command substitution during declaration of a local variable. It causes
the parallel-checkout tests to fail e.g. when running them with
/bin/dash on MacOS 11.4, where they error out like this:
./t2080-parallel-checkout-basics.sh: 33: local: 0: bad variable name
That's because the output of wc -l contains leading spaces and the
returned number of lines is treated as another variable to declare, i.e.
as in "local workers= 0".
Work around it by enclosing the command substitution in quotes.

Some platforms, like NonStop do not automatically restart fsync()
when interrupted by a signal, even when that signal is setup with
SA_RESTART.
This can lead to test breakage, e.g., where "--progress" is used,
thus SIGALRM is sent often, and can interrupt an fsync() syscall.
Make sure we deal with such a case by retrying the syscall
ourselves. Luckily, we call fsync() fron a single wrapper,
fsync_or_die(), so the fix is fairly isolated.

A recent change to make git-completion.bash use $__git_cmd_idx
in more places broke a number of completions on zsh because it
modified __git_main but did not update __git_zsh_main.
Notably, completions for "add", "branch", "mv" and "push" were
broken as a result of this change.
In addition to the undefined variable usage, "git mv <tab>" also
prints the following error:
__git_count_arguments:7: bad math expression:
operand expected at `"1"'
_git_mv:[:7: unknown condition: -gt
Remove the quotes around $__git_cmd_idx in __git_count_arguments
and set __git_cmd_idx=1 early in __git_zsh_main to fix the
regressions from 59d85a2a05.
This was tested on zsh 5.7.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin19.0).

Fix-up to a topic that is already in 'master'.

dir: update stale description of treat_directory()
Revert "dir: update stale description of treat_directory()"

Many places in the code were doing
while ((d = readdir(dir)) != NULL) {
if (is_dot_or_dotdot(d->d_name))
continue;
...process d...
}
Introduce a readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot() helper to make that a one-liner:
while ((d = readdir_skip_dot_and_dotdot(dir)) != NULL) {
...process d...
}
This helper particularly simplifies checks for empty directories.
Also use this helper in read_cached_dir() so that our statistics are
consistent across platforms. (In other words, read_cached_dir() should
have been using is_dot_or_dotdot() and skipping such entries, but did
not and left it to treat_path() to detect and mark such entries as
path_none.)

in 095952 (Teach directory traversal about subprojects, 2007-04-11)
which was before the 'struct dir_struct' split its bitfield of named
options into a 'flags' enum in 7c4c97c0 (Turn the flags in struct
dir_struct into a single variable, 2009-02-16). When those flags
changed, the comment became stale, since members like
'show_other_directories' transitioned into flags like
DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES.
Update the comments for treat_directory() to use these flag names rather
than the old member names.

"ld" on Solaris fails to link some test helpers, which has been
worked around by reshuffling the inline function definitions from a
header file to a source file that is the only user of them.
* ab/pack-linkage-fix:
pack-objects: move static inline from a header to the sole consumer
Workaround flaky tests introduced recently.
* ds/t1092-fix-flake-from-progress:
t1092: revert the "-1" hack for emulating "no progress meter"
t1092: use GIT_PROGRESS_DELAY for consistent results
Move the code that is only used in builtin/pack-objects.c out of
pack-objects.h.
This fixes an issue where Solaris's SunCC hasn't been able to compile
git since 483fa7f42d (t/helper/test-bitmap.c: initial commit,
2021-03-31).
The real origin of that issue is that in 898eba5e63 (pack-objects:
refer to delta objects by index instead of pointer, 2018-04-14)
utility functions only needed by builtin/pack-objects.c were added to
pack-objects.h. Since then the header has been used in a few other
places, but 483fa7f42d was the first time it was used by test helper.
Since Solaris is stricter about linking and the oe_get_size_slow()
function lives in builtin/pack-objects.c the build started failing
with:
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
oe_get_size_slow t/helper/test-bitmap.o
ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written to t/helper/test-tool
On other platforms this is presumably OK because the compiler and/or
linker detects that the "static inline" functions that reference
oe_get_size_slow() aren't used.
Let's solve this by moving the relevant code from pack-objects.h to
builtin/pack-objects.c. This is almost entirely a code-only move, but
because of the early macro definitions in that file referencing some
of these inline functions we need to move the definition of "static
struct packing_data to_pack" earlier, and declare these inline
functions above the macros.

t2080 makes a few copies of a test repository and later performs a
branch switch on each one of the copies to verify that parallel checkout
and sequential checkout produce the same results. However, the
repository is copied with `cp -R` which, on some systems, defaults to
following symlinks on the directory hierarchy and copying their target
files instead of copying the symlinks themselves. AIX is one example of
system where this happens. Because the symlinks are not preserved, the
copied repositories have paths that do not match what is in the index,
causing git to abort the checkout operation that we want to test. This
makes the test fail on these systems.
Fix this by copying the repository with the POSIX flag '-P', which
forces cp to copy the symlinks instead of following them. Note that we
already use this flag for other cp invocations in our test suite (see
t7001). With this change, t2080 now passes on AIX.

Move the newly added "hooks_path" API in Git.pm to its only user in
git-send-email.perl. This was added in c8243933c7 (git-send-email:
Respect core.hooksPath setting, 2021-03-23), meaning that it hasn't
yet made it into a non-rc release of git.
The consensus with Git.pm is that we need to be considerate of
out-of-tree users who treat it as a public documented interface. We
should therefore be less willing to add new functionality to it, least
we be stuck supporting it after our own uses for it disappear.
In this case the git-send-email.perl hook invocation will probably be
replaced by a future "git hook run" command, and in the commit
preceding this one the "hooks_path" become nothing but a trivial
wrapper for "rev-parse --git-path hooks" anyway (with no
Cwd::abs_path() call), so let's just inline this command in
git-send-email.perl itself.

In c8243933c7 (git-send-email: Respect core.hooksPath setting,
2021-03-23) we started supporting core.hooksPath in "send-email". It's
been reported that on Windows[1] doing this by calling abs_path()
results in different canonicalizations of the absolute path.
This wasn't an issue in c8243933c7 itself, but was revealed by my
ea7811b37e (git-send-email: improve --validate error output,
2021-04-06) when we started emitting the path to the hook, which was
previously only internal to git-send-email.perl.
The just-landed 53753a37d0 (t9001-send-email.sh: fix expected
absolute paths on Windows, 2021-05-24) narrowly fixed this issue, but
I believe we can do better here. We should not be relying on whatever
changes Perl's abs_path() makes to the path "rev-parse --git-path
hooks" hands to us. Let's instead trust it, and hand it to Perl's
system() in git-send-email.perl. It will handle either a relative or
absolute path.
So let's revert most of 53753a37d0 and just have "hooks_path" return
what we get from "rev-parse" directly without modification. This has
the added benefit of making the error message friendlier in the common
case, we'll no longer print an absolute path for repository-local hook
errors.
