There is code in both merge-recursive and merge-ort for avoiding doubly
transitive renames (i.e. one side renames directory A/ -> B/, and the
other side renames directory B/ -> C/), because this combination would
otherwise make a mess for new files added to A/ on the first side and
wondering which directory they end up in -- especially if there were
even more renames such as the first side renaming C/ -> D/. In such
cases, it just turns "off" directory rename detection for the higher
order transitive cases.
The testcases added in t6423 a couple commits ago are slightly different
but similar in principle. They involve a similar case of paired
renaming but instead of A/ -> B/ and B/ -> C/, the second side renames
a leading directory of B/ to C/. And both sides add a new file
somewhere under the directory that the other side will rename. While
the new files added start within different directories and thus could
logically end up within different directories, it is weird for a file
on one side to end up where the other one started and not move along
with it. So, let's just turn off directory rename detection in this
case as well.
Another way to look at this is that if the source name involved in a
directory rename on one side is the target name of a directory rename
operation for a file from the other side, then we avoid the doubly
transitive rename. (More concretely, if a directory rename on side D
wants to rename a file on side E from OLD_NAME -> NEW_NAME, and side D
already had a file named NEW_NAME, and a directory rename on side E
wants to rename side D's NEW_NAME -> NEWER_NAME, then we turn off the
directory rename detection for NEW_NAME to prevent the
NEW_NAME -> NEWER_NAME rename, and instead end up with an add/add
conflict on NEW_NAME.)

Run compute_collisions() for renames on both sides of history before
any calls to collect_renames(), and do not free the computed collisions
until after both calls to collect_renames(). This is just a code
reorganization at this point that doesn't make sense on its own, but
will permit us to use the computed collision info from both sides
within each call to collect_renames() in a subsequent commit.

This is an attempt at minimalizing a testcase reported by Glen Choo
with tensorflow where merge-ort would report an assertion failure:
Assertion failed: (ci->filemask == 2 || ci->filemask == 4), function apply_directory_rename_modifications, file merge-ort.c, line 2410
reversing the direction of the merge provides a different error:
error: cache entry has null sha1: ...
fatal: unable to write .git/index
so we add testcases for both. With these new testcases, the
recursive strategy differs in that it returns the latter error for
both merge directions.
These testcases are somehow a little different than Glen's original
tensorflow testcase in that these ones trigger a bug with the recursive
algorithm whereas his testcase didn't. I figure that means these
testcases somehow manage to be more comprehensive.

This test had a line reading
! test_file_is_empty actual
which was meant to be
! test_must_be_empty actual
The test worked despite the error, because even though
test_file_is_empty is a non-existent function, the '!' negated the
return value and made it pass. It'd be better to avoid the negation,
so something like
test_file_not_empty actual
would be better, but perhaps it makes even more sense to specify the
number of lines of expected output to make the test a bit tighter.

The commit-graph is used to opportunistically optimize accesses to
certain pieces of information on commit objects, and
lookup_commit_in_graph() tries to say "no" when the requested commit
does not locally exist by returning NULL, in which case the caller
can ask for (which may result in on-demand fetching from a promisor
remote) and parse the commit object itself.
However, it uses a wrong helper, repo_has_object_file(), to do so.
This helper not only checks if an object is mmediately available in
the local object store, but also tries to fetch from a promisor remote.
But the fetch machinery calls lookup_commit_in_graph(), thus causing an
infinite loop.
We should make lookup_commit_in_graph() expect that a commit given to it
can be legitimately missing from the local object store, by using the
has_object_file() helper instead.

The "test_when_finished" cleanup phase added in 4179b4897f (config:
allow overriding of global and system configuration, 2021-04-19) has
never worked as intended, firstly the ".config/git" is a directory, so
we'd need the "-r" flag, but more importantly the $HOME variable
wasn't properly quoted.
We'd thus end up trying to remove the "trash" part of "trash
directory", which wouldn't fail with "-f", since "rm -f" won't fail on
non-existing files.
It's possible that this would have caused an actual failure if someone
had a $HOME with a space character in it, such that our "rm -f" would
fail to remove an existing directory, but in practice that probably
never happened.
Let's fix both the quoting issue, and the other issue cleanup issue in
4179b4897f, which is that we were attempting to clean up
~/.config/git, but weren't cleaing up ~/.gitconfig.

While inspecting the 'git rebase' documentation, I noticed that it is
inconsistent with how it uses back-ticks (or other punctuation) for
identifying Git commands, command-line arguments, or values for those
arguments.
Sometimes, an argument (like '--interactive') would appear without any
punctuation, causing the argument to not have any special formatting.
Other times, arguments or 'git rebase' itself would have single-quotes
giving a bold look (in the HTML documentation at least).
By consistently using back-ticks, these types of strings appear in a
monospace font with special highlighting to appear more clearly as text
that exists in a command-line invocation of a Git command.
This rather-large diff is the result of scanning git-rebase.txt and
adding back-ticks as appropriate. Some are adding back-ticks where there
was no punctuation. Others are replacing single quotes.
There are also a few minor cleanups in the process, including those
found by reviewers.

The size and padding of `struct object_entry` is an important factor in
determining the memory usage of `pack-objects`. For this reason,
3b13a5f263 (pack-objects: reorder members to shrink struct object_entry,
2018-04-14) added a comment containing some information from pahole
indicating the size and padding of that struct.
Unfortunately, this comment hasn't been updated since 9ac3f0e5b3
(pack-objects: fix performance issues on packing large deltas,
2018-07-22), despite the size of this struct changing many times since
that commit.
To see just how often the size of object_entry changes, I skimmed the
first-parent history with this script:
for sha in $(git rev-list --first-parent --reverse 9ac3f0e..)
do
echo -n "$sha "
git checkout -q $sha
make -s pack-objects.o 2>/dev/null
pahole -C object_entry pack-objects.o | sed -n \
-e 's/\/\* size: \([0-9]*\).*/size \1/p' \
-e 's/\/\*.*padding: \([0-9]*\).*/padding \1/p' | xargs
done | uniq -f1
In between each merge, the size of object_entry changes too often to
record every instance here. But the important merges (along with their
corresponding sizes and bit paddings) in chronological order are:
ad635e82d6 (Merge branch 'nd/pack-objects-pack-struct', 2018-05-23) size 80 padding 4
29d9e3e2c4 (Merge branch 'nd/pack-deltify-regression-fix', 2018-08-22) size 80 padding 9
3ebdef2e1b (Merge branch 'jk/pack-delta-reuse-with-bitmap', 2018-09-17) size 80 padding 8
33e4ae9c50 (Merge branch 'bc/sha-256', 2019-01-29) size 96 padding 8
(indicating that the current size of the struct is 96 bytes, with 8
padding bits).
Even though this comment was written in a good spirit, it is updated
infrequently enough that it serves to confuse rather than to encourage
contributors to update the appropriate values when the modify the
definition of object_entry.
For that reason, eliminate the confusion by removing the comment
altogether.

The contrib/vscode/init.sh script initializes the .vscode directory with
some helpful metadata so VS Code handles Git code better.
One big issue that VS Code has is detecting the tab width based on file
type. ".txt" files were not covered by this script before, so add them
with the appropriate tab widths. This prevents inserting spaces instead
of tabs and keeps the tab width to eight instead of four or two.
While we are here, remove the "editor.wordWrap" settings. The editor's
word wrap is only cosmetic: it does not actually insert newlines when
your typing goes over the column limit. This can make it appear like you
have properly wrapped code, but it is incorrect. Further, existing code
that is over the column limit is wrapped even if your editor window is
wider than the limit. This can make reading such code more difficult.
Without these lines, VS Code renders the lines accurately, without
"ghost" newlines.

8959555cee (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level
directory, 2022-03-02), adds a function to check for ownership of
repositories using a directory that is representative of it, and ways to
add exempt a specific repository from said check if needed, but that
check didn't account for owership of the gitdir, or (when used) the
gitfile that points to that gitdir.
An attacker could create a git repository in a directory that they can
write into but that is owned by the victim to work around the fix that
was introduced with CVE-2022-24765 to potentially run code as the
victim.
An example that could result in privilege escalation to root in *NIX would
be to set a repository in a shared tmp directory by doing (for example):
$ git -C /tmp init
To avoid that, extend the ensure_valid_ownership function to be able to
check for all three paths.
This will have the side effect of tripling the number of stat() calls
when a repository is detected, but the effect is expected to be likely
minimal, as it is done only once during the directory walk in which Git
looks for a repository.
Additionally make sure to resolve the gitfile (if one was used) to find
the relevant gitdir for checking.
While at it change the message printed on failure so it is clear we are
referring to the repository by its worktree (or gitdir if it is bare) and
not to a specific directory.
