It is valuable to collect loose refs into a more compressed form. This
is typically the packed-refs file, although this could be the reftable
in the future. Having packed refs can be extremely valuable in repos
with many tags or remote branches that are not modified by the local
user, but still are necessary for other queries.
For instance, with many exploded refs, commands such as
git describe --tags --exact-match HEAD
can be very slow (multiple seconds). This command in particular is used
by terminal prompts to show when a detatched HEAD is pointing to an
existing tag, so having it be slow causes significant delays for users.
Add a new 'pack-refs' maintenance task. It runs 'git pack-refs --all
--prune' to move loose refs into a packed form. For now, that is the
packed-refs file, but could adjust to other file formats in the future.
This is the first of several sub-tasks of the 'gc' task that could be
extracted to their own tasks. In this process, we should not change the
behavior of the 'gc' task since that remains the default way to keep
repositories maintained. Creating a new task for one of these sub-tasks
only provides more customization options for those choosing to not use
the 'gc' task. It is certainly possible to have both the 'gc' and
'pack-refs' tasks enabled and run regularly. While they may repeat
effort, they do not conflict in a destructive way.
The 'auto_condition' function pointer is left NULL for now. We could
extend this in the future to have a condition check if pack-refs should
be run during 'git maintenance run --auto'.

Add a per-tool override flag so that users may enable the flag for one
tool and disable it for another by setting
`mergetool.<tool>.hideResolved` to `false`.
In addition, the author or maintainer of a mergetool may optionally
override the default `hideResolved` value for that mergetool. If the
`mergetools/<tool>` shell script contains a `hide_resolved_enabled`
function it will be called when the mergetool is invoked and the return
value will be used as the default for the `hideResolved` flag.
hide_resolved_enabled () {
return 1
}
Disabling may be desirable if the mergetool wants or needs access to the
original, unmodified 'LOCAL' and 'REMOTE' versions of the conflicted
file. For example:
- A tool may use a custom conflict resolution algorithm and prefer to
ignore the results of Git's conflict resolution.
- A tool may want to visually compare/constrast the version of the file
from before the merge (saved to 'LOCAL', 'REMOTE', and 'BASE') with
Git's conflict resolution results (saved to 'MERGED').

This is preparation for the following commit where we need to source the
mergetool shell script to look for overrides before `run_merge_tool` is
called. Previously `run_merge_tool` both sourced that script and invoked
the mergetool.
In the case of the following commit, we need the result of the
`hide_resolved` override, if present, before we actually run
`run_merge_tool`.
The new `initialize_merge_tool` wrapper is exposed and documented as
a public interface for consistency with the existing `run_merge_tool`
which is also public. Although `setup_tool` could instead be exposed
directly, the related `setup_user_tool` would probably also want to be
elevated to match and this felt the cleanest to me.

The purpose of a mergetool is to help the user resolve any conflicts
that Git cannot automatically resolve. If there is a conflict that must
be resolved manually Git will write a file named MERGED which contains
everything Git was able to resolve by itself and also everything that it
was not able to resolve wrapped in conflict markers.
One way to think of MERGED is as a two- or three-way diff. If each
"side" of the conflict markers is separately extracted an external tool
can represent those conflicts as a side-by-side diff.
However many mergetools instead diff LOCAL and REMOTE both of which
contain versions of the file from before the merge. Since the conflicts
Git resolved automatically are not present it forces the user to
manually re-resolve those conflicts. Some mergetools also show MERGED
but often only for reference and not as the focal point to resolve the
conflicts.
This adds a `mergetool.hideResolved` flag that will overwrite LOCAL and
REMOTE with each corresponding "side" of a conflicted file and thus hide
all conflicts that Git was able to resolve itself. Overwriting these
files will immediately benefit any mergetool that uses them without
requiring any changes to the tool.
No adverse effects were noted in a small survey of popular mergetools[1]
so this behavior defaults to `true`. However it can be globally disabled
by setting `mergetool.hideResolved` to `false`.

One of the conveniences that test_commit offers is making a tag for each
commit. This makes it easy to refer to the commits in subsequent
commands. But it can also be a pain if you care about reachability,
because those tags keep the commits reachable even if they are rewound
from the branch they're made on.
The alternative is that scripts have to call test_tick, git-add, and
git-commit themselves. Let's add a --no-tag option to give them the
one-liner convenience of using test_commit.
This is in preparation for the next patch, which will add some more
calls. But I cleaned up an existing site to show off the feature. There
are probably more cleanups possible.

GitHub Actions is transitioning workflow steps that run on
'ubuntu-latest' from 18.04 to 20.04 [1].
This works fine in all steps except the static-analysis one, since
Coccinelle isn't available on Ubuntu focal (it is only available in the
universe suite).
Until Coccinelle can be installed from 20.04's main suite, pin the
static-analysis build to run on 18.04, where it can be installed by
default.

In the `SPECIFYING RANGES` section of gitrevisions[7], two ways are
described to specify commit ranges that `range-diff` does not yet
accept: "<commit>^!" and "<commit>^-<n>".
Let's accept them, by parsing them via the revision machinery and
looking for at least one interesting and one uninteresting revision in
the resulting `pending` array.
This also finally lets us reject arguments that _do_ contain `..` but
are not actually ranges, e.g. `HEAD^{/do.. match this}`.

When comparing commit ranges, one is frequently interested only in one
side, such as asking the question "Has this patch that I submitted to
the Git mailing list been applied?": one would only care about the part
of the output that corresponds to the commits in a local branch.
To make that possible, imitate the `git rev-list` options `--left-only`
and `--right-only`.

It is actually only the `output()` function that uses those diffopts. By
moving the diffopt initialization down into that function, it is
encapsulated better.
Incidentally, it will also make it easier to implement the `--left-only`
and `--right-only` options in `git range-diff` because the `output()`
function is now receiving all range-diff options as a parameter, not
just the diffopts.
