We have description on "per worktree ref", but "worktree" is not
described in the glossary. We do have "working tree", though.
Casually put, a "working tree" is what your editor and compiler
interacts with. "worktree" is a mechanism to allow one or more
"working tree"s to be attached to a repository and used to check out
different commits and branches independently, which includes not
just a "working tree" but also repository metadata like HEAD, the
index to support simultaneous use of them. Historically, we used
these terms interchangeably but we have been trying to use "working
tree" when we mean it, instead of "worktree".
Most of the existing references to "working tree" in the glossary do
refer primarily to the working tree portion, except for one that
said refs like HEAD and refs/bisect/* are per "working tree", but it
is more precise to say they are per "worktree".

When cloning a repo with a --filter and with --recurse-submodules
enabled, the partial clone filter only applies to the top-level repo.
This can lead to unexpected bandwidth and disk usage for projects which
include large submodules. For example, a user might wish to make a
partial clone of Gerrit and would run:
`git clone --recurse-submodules --filter=blob:5k https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit`.
However, only the superproject would be a partial clone; all the
submodules would have all blobs downloaded regardless of their size.
With this change, the same filter can also be applied to submodules,
meaning the expected bandwidth and disk savings apply consistently.
To avoid changing default behavior, add a new clone flag,
`--also-filter-submodules`. When this is set along with `--filter` and
`--recurse-submodules`, the filter spec is passed along to git-submodule
and git-submodule--helper, such that submodule clones also have the
filter applied.
This applies the same filter to the superproject and all submodules.
Users who need to customize the filter per-submodule would need to clone
with `--no-recurse-submodules` and then manually initialize each
submodule with the proper filter.
Applying filters to submodules should be safe thanks to Jonathan Tan's
recent work [1, 2, 3] eliminating the use of alternates as a method of
accessing submodule objects, so any submodule object access now triggers
a lazy fetch from the submodule's promisor remote if the accessed object
is missing. This patch is a reworked version of [4], which was created
prior to Jonathan Tan's work.

`git sparse-checkout set/init` enables worktree-specific
configuration[*] by setting extensions.worktreeConfig=true, but neglects
to perform the additional necessary bookkeeping of relocating
`core.bare=true` and `core.worktree` from $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config to
$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.worktree, as documented in git-worktree.txt. As a
result of this oversight, these settings, which are nonsensical for
secondary worktrees, can cause Git commands to incorrectly consider a
worktree bare (in the case of `core.bare`) or operate on the wrong
worktree (in the case of `core.worktree`). Fix this problem by taking
advantage of the recently-added init_worktree_config() which enables
`extensions.worktreeConfig` and takes care of necessary bookkeeping.
While at it, for backward-compatibility reasons, also stop upgrading the
repository format to "1" since doing so is (unintentionally) not
required to take advantage of `extensions.worktreeConfig`, as explained
by 11664196ac ("Revert "check_repository_format_gently(): refuse
extensions for old repositories"", 2020-07-15).
[*] The main reason to use worktree-specific config for the
sparse-checkout builtin was to avoid enabling sparse-checkout patterns
in one and causing a loss of files in another. If a worktree does not
have a sparse-checkout patterns file, then the sparse-checkout logic
will not kick in on that worktree.

The extensions.worktreeConfig extension was added in 58b284a (worktree:

in Documentation/git-config.txt. However, the extensions.worktreeConfig
value was not specified further in the list of possible config keys. The
location of the config.worktree file is not specified, and there are
some precautions that should be mentioned clearly, but are only
mentioned in git-worktree.txt.
Expand the documentation to help users discover the complexities of
extensions.worktreeConfig by adding details and cross links in these

* $GIT_DIR/config.worktree takes precedence over $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.
* The core.worktree and core.bare=true settings are incorrect to have in

* The sparse-checkout settings core.sparseCheckout[Cone] are recommended
to be set in the worktree config.
As documented in 11664196ac ("Revert "check_repository_format_gently():

must be considered regardless of the repository format version for
historical reasons.

To improve the submodules UX, we would like to teach Git to handle
branches in submodules. Start this process by teaching "git branch" the
--recurse-submodules option so that "git branch --recurse-submodules
topic" will create the `topic` branch in the superproject and its
submodules.
Although this commit does not introduce breaking changes, it does not
work well with existing --recurse-submodules commands because "git
branch --recurse-submodules" writes to the submodule ref store, but most
commands only consider the superproject gitlink and ignore the submodule
ref store. For example, "git checkout --recurse-submodules" will check
out the commits in the superproject gitlinks (and put the submodules in
detached HEAD) instead of checking out the submodule branches.
Because of this, this commit introduces a new configuration value,
`submodule.propagateBranches`. The plan is for Git commands to
prioritize submodule ref store information over superproject gitlinks if
this value is true. Because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to
submodule ref stores, for the sake of clarity, it will not function
unless this configuration value is set.
This commit also includes changes that support working with submodules
from a superproject commit because "branch --recurse-submodules" (and
future commands) need to read .gitmodules and gitlinks from the
superproject commit, but submodules are typically read from the
filesystem's .gitmodules and the index's gitlinks. These changes are:
* add a submodules_of_tree() helper that gives the relevant
information of an in-tree submodule (e.g. path and oid) and
initializes the repository
* add is_tree_submodule_active() by adding a treeish_name parameter to
is_submodule_active()
* add the "submoduleNotUpdated" advice to advise users to update the
submodules in their trees
Incidentally, fix an incorrect usage string that combined the 'list'
usage of git branch (-l) with the 'create' usage; this string has been

When this option is specified, we remerge all (two parent) merge commits
and diff the actual merge commit to the automatically created version,
in order to show how users removed conflict markers, resolved the
different conflict versions, and potentially added new changes outside
of conflict regions in order to resolve semantic merge problems (or,
possibly, just to hide other random changes).
This capability works by creating a temporary object directory and
marking it as the primary object store. This makes it so that any blobs
or trees created during the automatic merge are easily removable
afterwards by just deleting all objects from the temporary object
directory.
There are a few ways that this implementation is suboptimal:
* `log --remerge-diff` becomes slow, because the temporary object
directory can fill with many loose objects while running
* the log output can be muddied with misplaced "warning: cannot merge
binary files" messages, since ll-merge.c unconditionally writes those
messages to stderr while running instead of allowing callers to
manage them.
* important conflict and warning messages are simply dropped; thus for
conflicts like modify/delete or rename/rename or file/directory which
are not representable with content conflict markers, there may be no
way for a user of --remerge-diff to know that there had been a
conflict which was resolved (and which possibly motivated other
changes in the merge commit).
* when fixing the previous issue, note that some unimportant conflict
and warning messages might start being included. We should instead
make sure these remain dropped.
Subsequent commits will address these issues.

Originally, before we had `--intent-to-add`, there was no way that `git
diff-files` could see added files: if a file did not exist in the index,
`git diff-files` would not show it because it looks only at worktree
files when there is an index entry at the same path.
We used this example in the documentation of the diff options to explain
that not every `--diff-filter=<option>` has an effect in all scenarios.
Even when we added `--intent-to-add`, the comment was still correct,
because initially we showed such files as modified instead of added.
However, when that bug was fixed in feea6946a5 (diff-files: treat

The previous patch demonstrates a bug where a MIDX's auxiliary object
order can become out of sync with a MIDX bitmap.
This is because of two confounding factors:
- First, the object order is stored in a file which is named according
to the multi-pack index's checksum, and the MIDX does not store the
object order. This means that the object order can change without
altering the checksum.
- But the .rev file is moved into place with finalize_object_file(),
which link(2)'s the file into place instead of renaming it. For us,
that means that a modified .rev file will not be moved into place if
MIDX's checksum was unchanged.
This fix is to force the MIDX's checksum to change when the preferred
pack changes but the set of packs contained in the MIDX does not. In
other words, when the object order changes, the MIDX's checksum needs to
change with it (regardless of whether the MIDX is tracking the same or
different packs).
This prevents a race whereby changing the object order (but not the
packs themselves) enables a reader to see the new .rev file with the old
MIDX, or similarly seeing the new bitmap with the old object order.
But why can't we just stop hardlinking the .rev into place instead
adding additional data to the MIDX? Suppose that's what we did. Then
when we go to generate the new bitmap, we'll load the old MIDX bitmap,
along with the MIDX that it references. That's fine, since the new MIDX
isn't moved into place until after the new bitmap is generated. But the
new object order *has* been moved into place. So we'll read the old
bitmaps in the new order when generating the new bitmap file, meaning
that without this secondary change, bitmap generation itself would
become a victim of the race described here.
This can all be prevented by forcing the MIDX's checksum to change when
the object order does. By embedding the entire object order into the
MIDX, we do just that. That is, the MIDX's checksum will change in
response to any perturbation of the underlying object order. In t5326,
this will cause the MIDX's checksum to update (even without changing the
set of packs in the MIDX), preventing the stale read problem.
Note that this makes it safe to continue to link(2) the MIDX .rev file
into place, since it is now impossible to have a .rev file that is
out-of-sync with the MIDX whose checksum it references. (But we will do
away with MIDX .rev files later in this series anyway, so this is
somewhat of a moot point).
In theory, it is possible to store a "fingerprint" of the full object
order here, so long as that fingerprint changes at least as often as the
full object order does. Some possibilities here include storing the
identity of the preferred pack, along with the mtimes of the
non-preferred packs in a consistent order. But storing a limited part of
the information makes it difficult to reason about whether or not there
are gaps between the two that would cause us to get bitten by this bug
again.

`git fetch --negotiate-only` is an implementation detail of push
negotiation and, unlike most `git fetch` invocations, does not actually
update the main repository. Thus it should not update submodules even
if submodule recursion is enabled.
This is not just slow, it is wrong e.g. push negotiation with
"submodule.recurse=true" will cause submodules to be updated because it
invokes `git fetch --negotiate-only`.
Fix this by disabling submodule recursion if --negotiate-only was given.
Since this makes --negotiate-only and --recurse-submodules incompatible,
check for this invalid combination and die.
This does not use the "goto cleanup" introduced in the previous commit
because we want to recurse through submodules whenever a ref is fetched,
and this can happen without introducing new objects.

This is a feature that supports config file inclusion conditional on
whether the repo has a remote with a URL that matches a glob.
Similar to my previous work on remote-suggested hooks [1], the main
motivation is to allow remote repo administrators to provide recommended
configs in a way that can be consumed more easily (e.g. through a
package installable by a package manager - it could, for example,
contain a file to be included conditionally and a post-install script
that adds the include directive to the system-wide config file).
In order to do this, Git reruns the config parsing mechanism upon
noticing the first URL-conditional include in order to find all remote
URLs, and these remote URLs are then used to determine if that first and
all subsequent includes are executed. Remote URLs are not allowed to be
configued in any URL-conditionally-included file.

There are some commands permit the user whether to provide options
first before args, or the reverse order. For example:
git push --dry-run <remote> <ref>
And:
git push <remote> <ref> --dry-run
Both of them is supported, but some commands do not, for instance:
git ls-remote --heads <remote>
And:
git ls-remote <remote> --heads
If <remote> only has one ref and it's name is "refs/heads/--heads", you
will get the same result, otherwise will not.This is because the former
in the second example will parse "--heads" as an "option" which means
to limit to only "refs/heads" when listing the remote references, the
latter treat "--heads" as an argument which means to filter the result
list with the given pattern.
Therefore, we want to specify a bit more in "gitcli.txt" about the way

Make several small updates, to address a few documentation issues
I spotted:
* sparse-checkout focused on "patterns" even though the inputs (and
outputs in the case of `list`) are directories in cone-mode
* The description section of the sparse-checkout documentation
was a bit sparse (no pun intended), and focused more on internal
mechanics rather than end user usage. This made sense in the
early days when the command was even more experimental, but let's
adjust a bit to try to make it more approachable to end users who
may want to consider using it. Keep the scary backward
compatibility warning, though; we're still hard at work trying to
fix up commands to behave reasonably in sparse checkouts.
* both read-tree and update-index tried to describe how to use the
skip-worktree bit, but both predated the sparse-checkout command.
The sparse-checkout command is a far easier mechanism to use and
for users trying to reduce the size of their working tree, we
should recommend users to look at it instead.
* The update-index documentation pointed out that assume-unchanged
and skip-worktree sounded similar but had different purposes.
However, it made no attempt to explain the differences, only to
point out that they were different. Explain the differences.
* The update-index documentation focused much more on (internal?)
implementation details than on end-user usage. Try to explain
its purpose better for users of update-index, rather than
fellow developers trying to work with the SKIP_WORKTREE bit.
* Clarify that when core.sparseCheckout=true, we treat a file's
presence in the working tree as being an override to the
SKIP_WORKTREE bit (i.e. in sparse checkouts when the file is
present we ignore the SKIP_WORKTREE bit).
Note that this commit, like many touching documentation, is best viewed
with the `--color-words` option to diff/log.

reset: fix validation in sparse index test
Update `checkout-index` to no longer refresh files that have the
`skip-worktree` bit set, exiting with an error if `skip-worktree` filenames
are directly provided to `checkout-index`. The newly-added
`--ignore-skip-worktree-bits` option provides a mechanism to replicate the
old behavior, checking out *all* files specified (even those with
`skip-worktree` enabled).
The ability to toggle whether files should be checked-out based on
`skip-worktree` already exists in `git checkout` and `git restore` (both of
which have an `--ignore-skip-worktree-bits` option). The change to, by
default, ignore `skip-worktree` files is especially helpful for
sparse-checkout; it prevents inadvertent creation of files outside the
sparse definition on disk and eliminates the need to expand a sparse index
when using the `--all` option.
Internal usage of `checkout-index` in `git stash` and `git filter-branch` do
not make explicit use of files with `skip-worktree` enabled, so
`--ignore-skip-worktree-bits` is not added to them.

It is useful to know when a branch first diverged in history
from some integration branch in order to be able to enumerate
the user's local changes. However, these local changes can
include arbitrary merges, so it is necessary to ignore this
merge structure when finding the divergence point.
In order to do this, teach the "rev-list" family to accept
"--exclude-first-parent-only", which restricts the traversal
of excluded commits to only follow first parent links.
-A-----E-F-G--main
\ / /
B-C-D--topic
In this example, the goal is to return the set {B, C, D} which
represents a topic branch that has been merged into main branch.
`git rev-list topic ^main` will end up returning no commits
since excluding main will end up traversing the commits on topic
as well. `git rev-list --exclude-first-parent-only topic ^main`
however will return {B, C, D} as desired.
Add docs for the new flag, and clarify the doc for --first-parent
to indicate that it applies to traversing the set of included
commits only.

The documentation for the eol attribute states that it is "effectively
setting the text attribute". However, this implies that it forces the
text attribute to always be set, which has not been the case since
6523728499 ("convert: unify the "auto" handling of CRLF", 2016-06-28).
Let's avoid confusing users (and the present author when trying to
describe Git's behavior to others) by clearly documenting in which
cases the "eol" attribute has effect.
Specifically, the attribute always has an effect unless the file is
explicitly set as -text, or the file is set as text=auto and the file is
detected as binary.

In order to enable hooks to be run as an external process, by a
standalone Git command, or by tools which wrap Git, provide an external
means to run all configured hook commands for a given hook event.
Most of our hooks require more complex functionality than this, but
let's start with the bare minimum required to support our simplest
hooks.
In terms of implementation the usage_with_options() and "goto usage"
pattern here mirrors that of
builtin/{commit-graph,multi-pack-index}.c.
Some of the implementation here, such as a function being named
run_hooks_opt() when it's tasked with running one hook, to using the
run_processes_parallel_tr2() API to run with jobs=1 is somewhere
between a bit odd and and an overkill for the current features of this
"hook run" command and the hook.[ch] API.
This code will eventually be able to run multiple hooks declared in
config in parallel, by starting out with these names and APIs we
reduce the later churn of renaming functions, switching from the
run_command() to run_processes_parallel_tr2() API etc.

There were various inaccuracies in the previous SYNOPSIS output,
e.g. "--path" is not something that can optionally go with any options
except --textconv or --filters, as the output implied.
The opening line of the DESCRIPTION section is also "In its first

SYNOPSIS section wasn't showing that as the first form!
That part of the documentation made sense in

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.

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.

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.

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.

The discussion for gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile shows an example string

The file consists of one or more lines of principals followed by an
ssh public key. e.g.: user1@example.com[1],user2@example.com[2]
ssh-rsa AAAAX1... See ssh-keygen(1) "ALLOWED SIGNERS" for details.
and also generates pointless notes at the end of the page:
NOTES
1. user1@example.com
mailto:user1@example.com
2. user2@example.com
mailto:user2@example.com
We can fix this by putting the example into a backtick literal block.

When grep.patternType is set to a value other than "default", the

But when the paragraph is read in isolation by a new person who is

The user.signingKey config for ssh signing supports either a path to a
file containing the key or for the sake of convenience a literal string
with the ssh public key. To differentiate between those two cases we
check if the first few characters contain "ssh-" which is unlikely to be
the start of a path. ssh supports other key types which are not prefixed
with "ssh-" and will currently be treated as a file path and therefore
fail to load. To remedy this we move the prefix check into its own
function and introduce the prefix `key::` for literal ssh keys. This way
we don't need to add new key types when they become available. The
existing `ssh-` prefix is retained for compatibility with current user
configs but removed from the official documentation to discourage its
use.

There is a formatting issue in "multi-pack-index.html", corresponding
to the nesting bulleted list of a wrong usage in "multi-pack-index.txt"
and this commit fix the problem.
In ASCIIDOC, it doesn't treat an indented character as the
beginning of a sub-list. If we want to write a nested bulleted list, we
could just use ASTERISK without any DASH like:
"
* Level 1 list item
** Level 2 list item
*** Level 3 list item
** Level 2 list item
* Level 1 list item
** Level 2 list item
* Level 1 list item
"
The DASH can be used for bulleted list too, But the DASH is suggested
only to be used as the marker for the first level because the DASH
doesn’t work well or a best practice for nested lists,
like (dash is as level 2 below):
"
* Level 1 list item
- Level 2 list item
* Level 1 list item
"
ASTERISK is recommanded to use because it works intuitively and clearly
("marker length = nesting level") in nested lists, but the DASH can't.
However, when you want to write a non-nested bulleted lists, DASH works
too, like:
"
- Level 1 list item
- Level 1 list item
- Level 1 list item
"

The strftime() function has a non-standard "%s" extension, which prints
the number of seconds since the epoch. But the "struct tm" we get has
already been adjusted for a particular time zone; going back to an epoch
time requires knowing that zone offset. Since strftime() doesn't take
such an argument, round-tripping to a "struct tm" and back to the "%s"
format may produce the wrong value (off by tz_offset seconds).
Since we're already passing in the zone offset courtesy of c3fbf81a85
(strbuf: let strbuf_addftime handle %z and %Z itself, 2017-06-15), we
can use that same value to adjust our epoch seconds accordingly.
Note that the description above makes it sound like strftime()'s "%s" is
useless (and really, the issue is shared by mktime(), which is what
strftime() would use under the hood). But it gets the two cases for
which it's designed correct:
- the result of gmtime() will have a zero offset, so no adjustment is
necessary
- the result of localtime() will be offset by the local zone offset,
and mktime() and strftime() are defined to assume this offset when
converting back (there's actually some magic here; some
implementations record this in the "struct tm", but we can't
portably access or manipulate it. But they somehow "know" whether a
"struct tm" is from gmtime() or localtime()).
This latter point means that "format-local:%s" actually works correctly
already, because in that case we rely on the system routines due to
6eced3ec5e (date: use localtime() for "-local" time formats,
2017-06-15). Our problem comes when trying to show times in the author's
zone, as the system routines provide no mechanism for converting in
non-local zones. So in those cases we have a "struct tm" that came from
gmtime(), but has been manipulated according to our offset.
The tests cover the broken round-trip by formatting "%s" for a time in a
non-system timezone. We use the made-up "+1234" here, which has two
advantages. One, we know it won't ever be the real system zone (and so
we're actually testing a case that would break). And two, since it has a
minute component, we're testing the full decoding of the +HHMM zone into
a number of seconds. Likewise, we test the "-1234" variant to make sure
there aren't any sign mistakes.
There's one final test, which covers "format-local:%s". As noted, this
already passes, but it's important to check that we didn't regress this
case. In particular, the caller in show_date() is relying on localtime()
to have done the zone adjustment, independent of any tz_offset we
compute ourselves. These should match up, since our local_tzoffset() is
likewise built around localtime(). But it would be easy for a caller to
forget to pass in a correct tz_offset to strbuf_addftime(). Fortunately
show_date() does this correctly (it has to because of the existing
handling of %z), and the test continues to pass. So this one is just
future-proofing against a change in our assumptions.

"reset" was previously treated as a standalone special color name
representing `\e[m`. Now, it can apply to other color properties,
allowing exact specifications without implicit attribute inheritance.
For example, "reset green" now renders `\e[;32m`, which is interpreted
as "reset everything; then set foreground to green". This means the
background and other attributes are also reset to their defaults.
Previously, this was impossible to represent in a single color:
"reset" could be specified alone, or a color with attributes, but some
thing like clearing a background color were impossible.
There is a separate change that introduces the "default" color name to
assist with that, but even then, the above could only to be represented
by explicitly disabling each of the attributes:

The name "default" can now be used in foreground or background colors,
and means to use the terminal's default color, discarding any
explicitly-set color without affecting the other attributes. On many
modern terminals, this is *not* the same as specifying "white" or
"black".
Although attributes could previously be cleared like "no-bold", there
had not been a similar mechanism available for colors, other than a full
"reset", which cannot currently be combined with other settings.
Note that this is *not* the same as the existing name "normal", which is
a no-op placeholder to permit setting the background without changing
the foreground. (i.e. what is currently called "normal" might have been
more descriptively named "inherit", "none", "pass" or similar).

Since 8650c6298c (doc lint: make "lint-docs" non-.PHONY, 2021-10-15), we
put the output for gitlink linter into .build/lint-docs/gitlink. There
are order-only dependencies to create the sequence of subdirs like:
.build/lint-docs: | .build
$(QUIET)mkdir $@
.build/lint-docs/gitlink: | .build/lint-docs
$(QUIET)mkdir $@
where each level has to depend on the prior one (since the parent
directory must exist for us to create something inside it). But the
"howto" and "config" subdirectories of gitlink have the wrong
dependency; they depend on "lint-docs", not "lint-docs/gitlink".
This usually works out, because the LINT_DOCS_GITLINK targets which
depend on "gitlink/howto" also depend on just "gitlink", so the
directory gets created anyway. But since we haven't given make an
explicit ordering, things can racily happen out of order.
If you stick a "sleep 1" in the rule to build "gitlink" like this:
## Lint: gitlink
.build/lint-docs/gitlink: | .build/lint-docs
- $(QUIET)mkdir $@
+ $(QUIET)sleep 1 && mkdir $@
then "make clean; make lint-docs" will fail reliably. Or you can see it
as-is just by building the directory in isolation:
$ make clean
[...]
$ make .build/lint-docs/gitlink/howto
GEN mergetools-list.made
GEN cmd-list.made
GEN doc.dep
SUBDIR ../

Extend the trick we use to speed up the "clean" target to also extend
to the "lint-docs" target. See 54df87555b (Documentation/Makefile:
conditionally include doc.dep, 2020-12-08) for the "clean"
implementation.
The "doc-lint" target only depends on *.txt files, so we don't need to
generate GIT-VERSION-FILE etc. if that's all we're doing. This makes
the "make lint-docs" target more than 2x as fast:

A signature attached to a signed commit, and the contents of the
commit that merged a signed tag, are both recorded as a value of an
object header field as a multi-line value, and are subject to the
formatting convention for multi-line values in the headers, with a
leading SP signaling that the rest of the line is a continuation of
the previous line. Most notably, an empty line in such a multi-line
value would result in a line with a sole SP on it.
Examples in the signature-format technical documentation include a
few of these cases but we did not show these otherwise invisible SPs
in the example. These trailing spaces cannot be seen on display or
on paper, and forces the readers to look for them in their editors
or pagers, even if we added them to the document.
Extend the overview section to explain the multi-line value
formatting and highlight these otherwise invisible SPs by inventing
the "a dollar-sign at the end of line that appears after SP merely
signals that there is a SP there, and the dollar-sign itself does
not appear in the real file" notation, inspired by "cat -e" output,
to help readers to learn exactly where such "a single SP that is
originally an empty line" appears in the examples.

When we're enumerating all objects in the object database, it doesn't
make sense to respect refs/replace. The point of this option is to
enumerate all of the objects in the database at a low level. By
definition we'd already show the replacement object's contents (under
its real oid), and showing those contents under another oid is almost
certainly working against what the user is trying to do.
Note that you could make the same argument for something like:
git show-index <foo.idx |
awk '{print $2}' |
git cat-file --batch
but there we can't know in cat-file exactly what the user intended,
because we don't know the source of the input. They could be trying to
do low-level debugging, or they could be doing something more high-level
(e.g., imagine a porcelain built around cat-file for its object
accesses). So in those cases, we'll have to rely on the user specifying
"git --no-replace-objects" to tell us what to do.
One _could_ make an argument that "cat-file --batch" is sufficiently
low-level plumbing that it should not respect replace-objects at all
(and the caller should do any replacement if they want it). But we have
been doing so for some time. The history is a little tangled:
- looking back as far as v1.6.6, we would not respect replace refs for
--batch-check, but would for --batch (because the former used
sha1_object_info(), and the replace mechanism only affected actual
object reads)
- this discrepancy was made even weirder by 98e2092b50 (cat-file:
teach --batch to stream blob objects, 2013-07-10), where we always
output the header using the --batch-check code, and then printed the
object separately. This could lead to "cat-file --batch" dying (when
it notices the size or type changed for a non-blob object) or even
producing bogus output (in streaming mode, we didn't notice that we
wrote the wrong number of bytes).
- that persisted until 1f7117ef7a (sha1_file: perform object
replacement in sha1_object_info_extended(), 2013-12-11), which then
respected replace refs for both forms.
So it has worked reliably this way for over 7 years, and we should make
sure it continues to do so. That could also be an argument that
--batch-all-objects should not change behavior (which this patch is
doing), but I really consider the current behavior to be an unintended
bug. It's a side effect of how the code is implemented (feeding the oids
back into oid_object_info() rather than looking at what we found while
reading the loose and packed object storage).
The implementation is straight-forward: we just disable the global
read_replace_refs flag when we're in --batch-all-objects mode. It would
perhaps be a little cleaner to change the flag we pass to
oid_object_info_extended(), but that's not enough. We also read objects
via read_object_file() and stream_blob_to_fd(). The former could switch
to its _extended() form, but the streaming code has no mechanism for
disabling replace refs. Setting the global flag works, and as a bonus,
it's impossible to have any "oops, we're sometimes replacing the object
and sometimes not" bugs in the output (like the ones caused by
98e2092b50 above).
The tests here cover the regular-input and --batch-all-objects cases,
for both --batch-check and --batch. There is a test in t6050 that covers
the regular-input case with --batch already, but this new one goes much
further in actually verifying the output (plus covering --batch-check
explicitly). This is perhaps a little overkill and the tests would be
simpler just covering --batch-check, but I wanted to make sure we're
checking that --batch output is consistent between the header and the
content. The global-flag technique used here makes that easy to get
right, but this is future-proofing us against regressions.

The "git log" command limits its output to the commits that contain strings
matched by a pattern when the "--grep=<pattern>" option is used, but unlike
output from "git grep -e <pattern>", the matches are not highlighted,
making them harder to spot.
Teach the pretty-printer code to highlight matches from the
"--grep=<pattern>", "--author=<pattern>" and "--committer=<pattern>"
options (to view the last one, you may have to ask for --pretty=fuller).
Also, it must be noted that we are effectively greping the content twice
(because it would be a hassle to rework the existing matching code to do
a /g match and then pass it all down to the coloring code), however it only
slows down "git log --author=^H" on this repository by around 1-2%
(compared to v2.33.0), so it should be a small enough slow down to justify
the addition of the feature.

Porcelain status letter T is documented as "type of the file", which
is technically correct but not enough information for users that are
not so familiar with this term from systems programming. In particular,
given that the only supported file types are "regular file", "symbolic
link" and "submodule", the term "file type" is surely opaque to the
many(?) users who are not aware that symbolic links can be tracked -
I thought that a "chmod +x" could cause the T status (wrong, it's M).
Explicitly document the three file types so users know if/how they
want to handle this.

the source file is added to the index and the destination file is
added with --intent-to-add.
They also documented DR, but that status is impossible. The index
change D means that the source file does not exist in the index.
The worktree change R/C states that the file has been renamed/copied
since the index, but that's impossible if it did not exist there.
