e72f7defc4 maintenance: fix SEGFAULT when no repository
The "git maintenance run" and "git maintenance start/stop" commands
holds a file-based lock at the .git/maintenance.lock and
.git/schedule.lock respectively. These locks are used to ensure only
one maintenance process is executed at the time as both operations
involves writing data into the git repository.

The path to the lock file is built using
"the_repository->objects->odb->path" that results in SEGFAULT when we
have no repository available as "the_repository->objects->odb" is
set to NULL.

Let's teach maintenance command to use RUN_SETUP option that will
provide the validation and fail when running outside of a repository.
Hence fixing the SEGFAULT for all three operations and making the
behaviour consistent across all subcommands.

Setting the RUN_SETUP also provides the same protection for all
subcommands given that the "register" and "unregister" also requires to
be executed inside a repository.

Furthermore let's remove the local validation implemented by the
"register" and "unregister" as this will not be required anymore with
the new option.

722fc37491 help: do not expect built-in commands to be hardlinked
When building with SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS=YesPlease, the built-in
commands are no longer present in the `PATH` as hardlinks to `git`.

As a consequence, `load_command_list()` needs to be taught to find the
names of the built-in commands from elsewhere.

This only affected the output of `git --list-cmds=main`, but not the
output of `git help -a` because the latter includes the built-in
commands by virtue of them being listed in command-list.txt.

The bug was detected via a patch series that turns the merge strategies
included in Git into built-in commands: `git merge -s help` relies on
`load_command_list()` to determine the list of available merge
strategies.

4950b2a2b5 for-each-repo: run subcommands on configured repos
It can be helpful to store a list of repositories in global or system
config and then iterate Git commands on that list. Create a new builtin
that makes this process simple for experts. We will use this builtin to
run scheduled maintenance on all configured repositories in a future
change.

The test is very simple, but does highlight that the "--" argument is
optional.

2057d75038 maintenance: create basic maintenance runner
The 'gc' builtin is our current entrypoint for automatically maintaining
a repository. This one tool does many operations, such as repacking the
repository, packing refs, and rewriting the commit-graph file. The name
implies it performs "garbage collection" which means several different
things, and some users may not want to use this operation that rewrites
the entire object database.

Create a new 'maintenance' builtin that will become a more general-
purpose command. To start, it will only support the 'run' subcommand,
but will later expand to add subcommands for scheduling maintenance in
the background.

For now, the 'maintenance' builtin is a thin shim over the 'gc' builtin.
In fact, the only option is the '--auto' toggle, which is handed
directly to the 'gc' builtin. The current change is isolated to this
simple operation to prevent more interesting logic from being lost in
all of the boilerplate of adding a new builtin.

Use existing builtin/gc.c file because we want to share code between the
two builtins. It is possible that we will have 'maintenance' replace the
'gc' builtin entirely at some point, leaving 'git gc' as an alias for
some specific arguments to 'git maintenance run'.

Create a new test_subcommand helper that allows us to test if a certain
subcommand was run. It requires storing the GIT_TRACE2_EVENT logs in a
file. A negation mode is available that will be used in later tests.

b5dd96b70a make credential helpers builtins
There's no real reason for credential helpers to be separate binaries. I
did them this way originally under the notion that helper don't _need_
to be part of Git, and so can be built totally separately (and indeed,
the ones in contrib/credential are). But the ones in our main Makefile
build on libgit.a, and the resulting binaries are reasonably large.

We can slim down our total disk footprint by just making them builtins.
This reduces the size of:

  make strip install

from 29MB to 24MB on my Debian system.

Note that credential-cache can't operate without support for Unix
sockets. Currently we just don't build it at all when NO_UNIX_SOCKETS is
set. We could continue that with conditionals in the Makefile and our
list of builtins. But instead, let's build a dummy implementation that
dies with an informative message. That has two advantages:

  - it's simpler, because the conditional bits are all kept inside
    the credential-cache source

  - a user who is expecting it to exist will be told _why_ they can't
    use it, rather than getting the "credential-cache is not a git
    command" error which makes it look like the Git install is broken.

Note that our dummy implementation does still respond to "-h" in order
to appease t0012 (and this may be a little friendlier for users, as
well).

but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use
for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well

ef8d7ac42a strvec: convert more callers away from argv_array name
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).

This patch converts remaining files from the first half of the alphabet,
to keep the diff to a manageable size.

The conversion was done purely mechanically with:

  git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
  xargs perl -i -pe '
    s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
    s/argv_array/strvec/g;
  '

and then selectively staging files with "git add '[abcdefghjkl]*'".
We'll deal with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

05920f041a Merge branch 'ta/wait-on-aliased-commands-upon-signal' into master
When an aliased command, whose output is piped to a pager by git,
gets killed by a signal, the pager got into a funny state, which
has been corrected (again).

c0d73a59c9 Wait for child on signal death for aliases to externals
When we are running an alias to an external command, we want to wait for
that process to exit even after receiving ^C which normally kills the
git process. This is useful when the process is ignoring SIGINT (which
e.g. pagers often do), and then we don't want it to be killed.

Having an alias which invokes a pager is probably not common, but it can
be useful e.g. if you have an alias to a git command which uses a
subshell as one of the arguments (in which case you have to use an
external command, not an alias to a builtin).

This patch is similar to the previous commit, but the previous commit
fixed this only for aliases to builtins, while this commit does the same
for aliases to external commands. In addition to waiting after clean
like the previous commit, this also enables cleaning the child (that was
already enabled for aliases to builtins before the previous commit),
because wait_after_clean relies on it. Lastly, while the previous commit
fixed a regression, I don't think this has ever worked properly.

e662df7e83 Wait for child on signal death for aliases to builtins
When you hit ^C all the processes in the tree receives it. When a git
command uses a pager, git ignores this and waits until the pager quits.
However, when using an alias there is an additional process in the tree
which didn't ignore the signal. That caused it to exit which in turn
caused the pager to exit. This fixes that for aliases to builtins.

This was originally fixed in 46df6906 (execv_dashed_external: wait
for child on signal death, 2017-01-06), but was broken by ee4512ed
(trace2: create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22) and then

88a09a557c builtin/show-index: provide options to determine hash algo
show-index is capable of reading any possible index file whether or not
the index is inside a repository.  However, because our index files lack
metadata about the hash algorithm in use, it's not possible to
autodetect the algorithm that a particular index file is using.

In order to allow us to read index files of any algorithm, let's set up
the .git directory gently so that we default to the algorithm for the
current repository, and add an --object-format option to allow users to
override this setting and continue to run show-index outside of a
repository altogether.  Let's also document this new option so that
people can find it and use it.

120ad2b0f1 shallow: extract a header file for shallow-related functions
There are many functions in commit.h that are more related to shallow
repositories than they are to any sort of generic commit machinery.
Likely this began when there were only a few shallow-related functions,
and commit.h seemed a reasonable enough place to put them.

But, now there are a good number of shallow-related functions, and
placing them all in 'commit.h' doesn't make sense.

This patch extracts a 'shallow.h', which takes all of the declarations
from 'commit.h' for functions which already exist in 'shallow.c'. We
will bring the remaining shallow-related functions defined in 'commit.c'
in a subsequent patch.

For now, move only the ones that already are implemented in 'shallow.c',
and update the necessary includes.

8a2cd3f512 stash: remove the stash.useBuiltin setting
Remove the stash.useBuiltin setting which was added as an escape hatch
to disable the builtin version of stash first released with Git 2.22.

Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden, and has in fact
become out of date failing a test since the 2.23 release, without
anyone noticing until now.  So users would be getting a hint to fall
back to a potentially buggy version of the tool.

We used to shell out to git config to get the useBuiltin configuration
to avoid changing any global state before spawning legacy-stash.
However that is no longer necessary, so just use the 'git_config'
function to get the setting instead.

Similar to what we've done in d03ebd411c ("rebase: remove the
rebase.useBuiltin setting", 2019-03-18), where we remove the
corresponding setting for rebase, we leave the documentation in place,
so people can refer back to it when searching for it online, and so we
can refer to it in the commit message.

94c0956b60 sparse-checkout: create builtin with 'list' subcommand
The sparse-checkout feature is mostly hidden to users, as its
only documentation is supplementary information in the docs for
'git read-tree'. In addition, users need to know how to edit the
.git/info/sparse-checkout file with the right patterns, then run
the appropriate 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' command. Keeping the
working directory in sync with the sparse-checkout file requires
care.

Begin an effort to make the sparse-checkout feature a porcelain
feature by creating a new 'git sparse-checkout' builtin. This
builtin will be the preferred mechanism for manipulating the
sparse-checkout file and syncing the working directory.

The documentation provided is adapted from the "git read-tree"
documentation with a few edits for clarity in the new context.
Extra sections are added to hint toward a future change to
a more restricted pattern set.

Use the macro COPY_ARRAY to copy array elements and MOVE_ARRAY to do the
same for moving them backwards in an array with potential overlap.  The
result is shorter and safer, as it infers the element type automatically
and does a (very) basic type compatibility check for its first two
arguments.

These cases were missed by Coccinelle and contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci
because the type of the elements is "const char *", not "char *", and
the rules in the semantic patch cautiously insist on the sizeof operator
being used on exactly the same type to avoid generating transformations
that introduce subtle bugs into tricky code.

b4f207f339 env--helper: new undocumented builtin wrapping git_env_*()
We have many GIT_TEST_* variables that accept a <boolean> because
they're implemented in C, and then some that take <non-empty?> because
they're implemented at least partially in shellscript.

Add a helper that wraps git_env_bool() and git_env_ulong() as the
first step in fixing this. This isn't being added as a test-tool mode
because some of these are used outside the test suite.

Part of what this tool does can be done via a trick with "git config"
added in 83d842dc8c ("tests: turn on network daemon tests by default",
2014-02-10) for test_tristate(), i.e.:

    git -c magic.variable="$1" config --bool magic.variable 2>/dev/null

But as subsequent changes will show being able to pass along the
default value makes all the difference, and we'll be able to replace
test_tristate() itself with that.

The --type=bool option will be used by subsequent patches, but not
--type=ulong. I figured it was easy enough to add it & test for it so
I left it in so we'd have wrappers for both git_env_*() functions, and
to have a template to make it obvious how we'd add --type=int etc. if
it's needed in the future.

the git(1) page, with its overview and its background and coordinating
material, such as environment variables.

Let's simply list it as the last few words of the last usage line.

46e91b663b checkout: split part of it to new command 'restore'
Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a
new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking
out paths path.

Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the
command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to
match the man page.

A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>':

- 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more
  when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both
  worktree and index).

- 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command
  overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'.

- both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time
  (from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This
  overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>'

- default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and
  HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as
  with --source (*).

- when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be
  specified since the default source for these two individual targets
  are different (**)

- --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the
  source, restoring means deleting the entry

(*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think
  --from is a better name. The short option -f however is already
  taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to
  write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD.

(**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from
  the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it
  through when they type the commands.

b7ce24d095 Turn git serve into a test helper
The `git serve` built-in was introduced in ed10cb952d (serve:
introduce git-serve, 2018-03-15) as a backend to serve Git protocol v2,
probably originally intended to be spawned by `git upload-pack`.

However, in the version that the protocol v2 patches made it into core
Git, `git upload-pack` calls the `serve()` function directly instead of
spawning `git serve`; The only reason in life for `git serve` to survive
as a built-in command is to provide a way to test the protocol v2
functionality.

Meaning that it does not even have to be a built-in that is installed
with end-user facing Git installations, but it can be a test helper
instead.

Let's make it so.

d787d311db checkout: split part of it to new command 'switch'
"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many
users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the
command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good
old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most
of users) are sick of it.

See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual
implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout"
and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will
adjust their behavior to match the man page.

83b0ecf333 git: read local config in --list-cmds
Normally code that is checking config before we've decided to do
setup_git_directory() would use read_early_config(), which uses
discover_git_directory() to tentatively see if we're in a repo,
and if so to add it to the config sequence.

But list_cmds() uses the caching configset mechanism which
rightly does not use read_early_config(), because it has no
idea if it's being called early.

Call setup_git_directory_gently() so we can pick up repo-level
config (like completion.commands).

20de316e33 difftool: allow running outside Git worktrees with --no-index
As far as this developer can tell, the conversion from a Perl script to
a built-in caused the regression in the difftool that it no longer runs
outside of a Git worktree (with `--no-index`, of course).

It is a bit embarrassing that it took over two years after retiring the
Perl version to discover this regression, but at least we now know, and
can do something, about it.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2123

90a462725e stash: optionally use the scripted version again
We recently converted the `git stash` command from Unix shell scripts
to builtins.

Let's end users a way out when they discover a bug in the
builtin command: `stash.useBuiltin`.

As the file name `git-stash` is already in use, let's rename the
scripted backend to `git-legacy-stash`.

To make the test suite pass with `stash.useBuiltin=false`, this commit
also backports rudimentary support for `-q` (but only *just* enough
to appease the test suite), and adds a super-ugly hack to force exit
code 129 for `git stash -h`.

40af146834 stash: convert stash--helper.c into stash.c
The old shell script `git-stash.sh`  was removed and replaced
entirely by `builtin/stash.c`. In order to do that, `create` and
`push` were adapted to work without `stash.sh`. For example, before
this commit, `git stash create` called `git stash--helper create
--message "$*"`. If it called `git stash--helper create "$@"`, then
some of these changes wouldn't have been necessary.

This commit also removes the word `helper` since now stash is
called directly and not by a shell script.

8a0fc8d19d stash: convert apply to builtin
Add a builtin helper for performing stash commands. Converting
all at once proved hard to review, so starting with just apply
lets conversion get started without the other commands being
finished.

The helper is being implemented as a drop in replacement for
stash so that when it is complete it can simply be renamed and
the shell script deleted.

Delete the contents of the apply_stash shell function and replace
it with a call to stash--helper apply until pop is also
converted.

ee4512ed48 trace2: create new combined trace facility
Create a new unified tracing facility for git.  The eventual intent is to
replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a
unified set of git_trace2* routines.

In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level
event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written.
This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools.

Trace2 defines 3 output targets.  These are set using the environment
variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT".  These may be
set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE).

* GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command
  summary data.

* GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE.
  It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread,
  repo, absolute and relative elapsed times.  It reports events for
  child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function
  nesting.

* GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a
  series of JSON records.

Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled
without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance*
routines.
