When fetching, Git will by default print a list of all updated refs in a
nicely formatted table. In order to come up with this table, Git needs
to iterate refs twice: first to determine the maximum column width, and
a second time to actually format these changed refs.
While this table will not be printed in case the user passes `--quiet`,
we still go out of our way and do all these steps. In fact, we even do
more work compared to not passing `--quiet`: without the flag, we will
skip all references in the column width computation which have not been
updated, but if it is set we will now compute widths for all refs.
Fix this issue by completely skipping both preparation of the format and
formatting data for display in case the user passes `--quiet`, improving
performance especially with many refs. The following benchmark shows a
nice speedup for a quiet mirror-fetch in a repository with 2.3M refs:
Benchmark #1: HEAD~: git-fetch
Time (mean ± σ): 26.929 s ± 0.145 s [User: 24.194 s, System: 4.656 s]
Range (min … max): 26.692 s … 27.068 s 5 runs
Benchmark #2: HEAD: git-fetch
Time (mean ± σ): 25.189 s ± 0.094 s [User: 22.556 s, System: 4.606 s]
Range (min … max): 25.070 s … 25.314 s 5 runs
Summary
'HEAD: git-fetch' ran
1.07 ± 0.01 times faster than 'HEAD~: git-fetch'
While at it, this patch also fixes `adjust_refcol_width()` such that it
skips unchanged refs in case the user passed `--quiet`, where verbosity
will be negative. While this function won't be called anymore if so,
this brings the comment in line with actual code. Furthermore, needless
`verbosity >= 0` checks are now removed in `store_updated_refs()`: we
never print to the `note` buffer anymore in case `verbosity < 0`, so we
won't end up in that code block anyway.

On macOS, we use launchctl to manage the background maintenance
schedule. This uses a set of .plist files to describe the schedule, but
these files are also registered with 'launchctl bootstrap'. If multiple
'git maintenance start' commands run concurrently, then they can collide
replacing these schedule files and registering them with launchctl.
To avoid extra launchctl commands, do a check for the .plist files on
disk and check if they are registered using 'launchctl list <name>'.
This command will return with exit code 0 if it exists, or exit code 113
if it does not.
We can test this behavior using the GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER environment

There are a few reasons to switch the default:
* Correctness
* Extensibility
* Performance
I'll provide some summaries about each.
=== Correctness ===
The original impetus for a new merge backend was to fix issues that were
difficult to fix within recursive's design. The success with this goal
is perhaps most easily demonstrated by running the following:
$ git grep -2 KNOWN_FAILURE t/ | grep -A 4 GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM
$ git grep test_expect_merge_algorithm.failure.success t/
$ git grep test_expect_merge_algorithm.success.failure t/
In order, these greps show:
* Seven sets of submodule tests (10 total tests) that fail with
recursive but succeed with ort
* 22 other tests that fail with recursive, but succeed with ort
* 0 tests that pass with recursive, but fail with ort
=== Extensibility ===
Being able to perform merges without touching the working tree or index
makes it possible to create new features that were difficult with the
old backend:
* Merging, cherry-picking, rebasing, reverting in bare repositories...
or just on branches that aren't checked out.
* `git diff AUTO_MERGE` -- ability to see what changes the user has
made to resolve conflicts so far (see commit 5291828df8 ("merge-ort:
write $GIT_DIR/AUTO_MERGE whenever we hit a conflict", 2021-03-20)
* A --remerge-diff option for log/show, used to show diffs for merges
that display the difference between what an automatic merge would
have created and what was recorded in the merge. (This option will
often result in an empty diff because many merges are clean, but for
the non-clean ones it will show how conflicts were fixed including
the removal of conflict markers, and also show additional changes
made outside of conflict regions to e.g. fix semantic conflicts.)
* A --remerge-diff-only option for log/show, similar to --remerge-diff
but also showing how cherry-picks or reverts differed from what an
automatic cherry-pick or revert would provide.
The last three have been implemented already (though only one has been
submitted upstream so far; the others were waiting for performance work
to complete), and I still plan to implement the first one.
=== Performance ===
I'll quote from the summary of my final optimization for merge-ort

The `--no-walk` flag supports two modes: either it sorts the revisions
given as input input or it doesn't. This is reflected in a single
`no_walk` flag, which reflects one of the three states "walk", "don't
walk but without sorting" and "don't walk but with sorting".
Split up the flag into two separate bits, one indicating whether we
should walk or not and one indicating whether the input should be sorted
or not. This will allow us to more easily introduce a new flag
`--unsorted-input`, which only impacts the sorting bit.

The --renormalize option updates the EOL conversions for the tracked
files. However, the loop already ignores files marked with the
SKIP_WORKTREE bit, so it will continue to do so with a sparse index
because the sparse directory entries also have this bit set.

Since b243012 (refresh_index(): add flag to ignore SKIP_WORKTREE
entries, 2021-04-08), 'git add --refresh <path>' will output a warning
message when the path is outside the sparse-checkout definition. The
implementation of this warning happened in parallel with the
sparse-index work to add ensure_full_index() calls throughout the
codebase.
Update this loop to have the proper logic that checks to see if the
pathspec is outside the sparse-checkout definition. This avoids the need
to expand the sparse directory entry and determine if the path is
tracked, untracked, or ignored. We simply avoid updating the stat()
information because there isn't even an entry that matches the path!

Disable command_requires_full_index for 'git add'. This does not require
any additional removals of ensure_full_index(). The main reason is that
'git add' discovers changes based on the pathspec and the worktree
itself. These are then inserted into the index directly, and calls to
index_name_pos() or index_file_exists() already call expand_to_path() at
the appropriate time to support a sparse-index.
Add a test to check that 'git add -A' and 'git add <file>' does not
expand the index at all, as long as <file> is not within a sparse
directory. This does not help the global 'git add .' case.
We can measure the improvement using p2000-sparse-operations.sh with
these results:
Test HEAD~1 HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000.6: git add -A (full-index-v3) 0.35(0.30+0.05) 0.37(0.29+0.06) +5.7%
2000.7: git add -A (full-index-v4) 0.31(0.26+0.06) 0.33(0.27+0.06) +6.5%
2000.8: git add -A (sparse-index-v3) 0.57(0.53+0.07) 0.05(0.04+0.08) -91.2%
2000.9: git add -A (sparse-index-v4) 0.58(0.55+0.06) 0.05(0.05+0.06) -91.4%
While the 91% improvement seems impressive, it's important to recognize
that previously we had significant overhead for expanding the
sparse-index. Comparing to the full index case, 'git add -A' goes from
0.37s to 0.05s, which is "only" an 86% improvement.
This modification to 'git add' creates some behavior change depending on
the use of a sparse index. We modify a test in t1092 to demonstrate
these changes which will be remedied in future changes.
