We discourage the creation/update of single-level refs
because some upper-layer applications only work in specified
reference namespaces, such as "refs/heads/*" or "refs/tags/*",
these single-level refnames may not be recognized. However,
we still hope users can delete them which have been created
by mistake.
Therefore, when updating branches on the server with
"git receive-pack", by checking whether it is a branch deletion
operation, it will determine whether to allow the update of
a single-level refs. This avoids creating/updating such
single-level refs, but allows them to be deleted.
On the client side, "git push" also does not properly fill in
the old-oid of single-level refs, which causes the server-side
"git receive-pack" to think that the ref's old-oid has changed
when deleting single-level refs, this causes the push to be
rejected. So the solution is to fix the client to be able to
delete single-level refs by properly filling old-oid.

Add the value of the WWW-Authenticate response header to credential
requests. Credential helpers that understand and support HTTP
authentication and authorization can use this standard header (RFC 2616
Section 14.47 [1]) to generate valid credentials.
WWW-Authenticate headers can contain information pertaining to the
authority, authentication mechanism, or extra parameters/scopes that are
required.
The current I/O format for credential helpers only allows for unique
names for properties/attributes, so in order to transmit multiple header
values (with a specific order) we introduce a new convention whereby a
C-style array syntax is used in the property name to denote multiple
ordered values for the same property.
In this case we send multiple `wwwauth[]` properties where the order
that the repeated attributes appear in the conversation reflects the
order that the WWW-Authenticate headers appeared in the HTTP response.
Add a set of tests to exercise the HTTP authentication header parsing
and the interop with credential helpers. Credential helpers will receive
WWW-Authenticate information in credential requests.

Read and store the HTTP WWW-Authenticate response headers made for
a particular request.
This will allow us to pass important authentication challenge
information to credential helpers or others that would otherwise have
been lost.
libcurl only provides us with the ability to read all headers recieved
for a particular request, including any intermediate redirect requests
or proxies. The lines returned by libcurl include HTTP status lines
delinating any intermediate requests such as "HTTP/1.1 200". We use
these lines to reset the strvec of WWW-Authenticate header values as
we encounter them in order to only capture the final response headers.
The collection of all header values matching the WWW-Authenticate
header is complicated by the fact that it is legal for header fields to
be continued over multiple lines, but libcurl only gives us each
physical line a time, not each logical header. This line folding feature
is deprecated in RFC 7230 [1] but older servers may still emit them, so
we need to handle them.
In the future [2] we may be able to leverage functions to read headers
from libcurl itself, but as of today we must do this ourselves.

When a comment describing how each test file should start was added in
commit [1], it was the second comment of t/test-lib.sh. The comment
describes how variable "test_description" is supposed to be assigned at
the top of each test file and how "test-lib.sh" should be used by
sourcing it. However, even in [1], the comment was ten lines away from
the usage of the variable by test-lib.sh. Since then, the comment has
drifted away both from the top of the file and from the usage of the
variable. The comment just sits in the middle of the initialization of
the test library, surrounded by unrelated code, almost one hundred lines
away from the usage of "test_description".
Nobody has noticed this drift during evolution of test-lib.sh, which
suggests that this comment has outlived its usefulness. The assignment
of "test_description", sourcing of "test-lib.sh" by tests, and the
process of writing tests in general are described in detail in
"t/README". So drop the obsolete comment.
An alternative solution could be to move the comment either to the top
of the file, or down to the usage of variable "test_description".

struct unpack_trees_options has the following field and comment:

Despite the internal-use comment, commit e091228e17 ("sparse-checkout:
update working directory in-process", 2019-11-21) starting setting this
field from an external caller. At the time, the only way around that
would have been to modify unpack_trees() to take an extra pattern_list
argument, and there's a lot of callers of that function. However, when
we split update_sparsity() off as a separate function, with
sparse-checkout being the sole caller, the need to update other callers
went away. Fix this API problem by adding a pattern_list argument to
update_sparsity() and stop setting the internal o.pl field directly.

The update_sparsity() function was introduced in commit 7af7a25853
("unpack-trees: add a new update_sparsity() function", 2020-03-27).
Prior to that, unpack_trees() was used, but that had a few bugs because
the needs of the caller were different, and different enough that
unpack_trees() could not easily be modified to handle both usecases.
The implementation detail that update_sparsity() was written by copying
unpack_trees() and then streamlining it, and then modifying it in the
needed ways still shows through in that there are leftover vestiges in
both functions that are no longer needed. Clean them up. In
particular:
* update_sparsity() allows a pattern list to be passed in, but
unpack_trees() never should use a different pattern list. Add a
check and a BUG() if this gets violated.
* update_sparsity() has a check early on that will BUG() if
o->skip_sparse_checkout is set; as such, there's no need to check
for that condition again later in the code. We can simply remove
the check and its corresponding goto label.

When a directory exists but has only ignored files within it and we are
trying to switch to a branch that has a file where that directory is,
the behavior depends upon --[no]-overwrite-ignore. If the user wants to
--overwrite-ignore (the default), then we should delete the ignored file
and directory and switch to the new branch.
The code to handle this in verify_clean_subdirectory() in unpack-trees
tried to handle this via paying attention to the exclude_per_dir setting
of the internal dir field. This came from commit c81935348b ("Fix
switching to a branch with D/F when current branch has file D.",
2007-03-15), which pre-dated 039bc64e88 ("core.excludesfile clean-up",

In fb64ca526a (fsck: check index files in all worktrees, 2023-02-24), we
swapped out a call to vanilla repo_read_index() for a series of
read_index_from() calls, one per worktree. The code for the latter was
copied from add_index_objects_to_pending(), which checks for a positive
return value from the index reading function, and we do the same here in
fsck now.
But this is probably the wrong thing. I had interpreted the check as
"don't operate on the index struct if there was an error". But in
reality, if there is an error then the index-reading code will simply
die (which admittedly is not great for fsck, but that is not a new
problem).
The return value here is actually the number of entries read. So it
makes sense for add_index_objects_to_pending() to ignore a zero-entry
index (there is nothing to add). But for fsck, we would still want to
check any extensions, etc (though presumably it is unlikely to have them
in an empty index, I don't think it's impossible).
So we should ignore the return value from read_index_from() entirely.
This matches the behavior before fb64ca526a, when we ignored the return
value from repo_read_index().
