Several Git commands have subcommands to implement mutually exclusive
"operation modes", and they usually parse their subcommand argument
with a bunch of if-else if statements.
Teach parse-options to handle subcommands as well, which will result
in shorter and simpler code with consistent error handling and error
messages on unknown or missing subcommand, and it will also make
possible for our Bash completion script to handle subcommands
programmatically.
The approach is guided by the following observations:
- Most subcommands [1] are implemented in dedicated functions, and
most of those functions [2] either have a signature matching the
'int cmd_foo(int argc, const char **argc, const char *prefix)'
signature of builtin commands or can be trivially converted to
that signature, because they miss only that last prefix parameter
or have no parameters at all.
- Subcommand arguments only have long form, and they have no double
dash prefix, no negated form, and no description, and they don't
take any arguments, and can't be abbreviated.
- There must be exactly one subcommand among the arguments, or zero
if the command has a default operation mode.
- All arguments following the subcommand are considered to be
arguments of the subcommand, and, conversely, arguments meant for
the subcommand may not preceed the subcommand.
So in the end subcommand declaration and parsing would look something
like this:
parse_opt_subcommand_fn *fn = NULL;
struct option builtin_commit_graph_options[] = {
OPT_STRING(0, "object-dir", &opts.obj_dir, N_("dir"),
N_("the object directory to store the graph")),
OPT_SUBCOMMAND("verify", &fn, graph_verify),
OPT_SUBCOMMAND("write", &fn, graph_write),
OPT_END(),
};
argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, options,
builtin_commit_graph_usage, 0);
return fn(argc, argv, prefix);
Here each OPT_SUBCOMMAND specifies the name of the subcommand and the
function implementing it, and the address of the same 'fn' subcommand
function pointer. parse_options() then processes the arguments until
it finds the first argument matching one of the subcommands, sets 'fn'
to the function associated with that subcommand, and returns, leaving
the rest of the arguments unprocessed. If none of the listed
subcommands is found among the arguments, parse_options() will show
usage and abort.
If a command has a default operation mode, 'fn' should be initialized
to the function implementing that mode, and parse_options() should be
invoked with the PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag. In this case
parse_options() won't error out when not finding any subcommands, but
will return leaving 'fn' unchanged. Note that if that default
operation mode has any --options, then the PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT
flag is necessary as well (otherwise parse_options() would error out
upon seeing the unknown option meant to the default operation mode).
Some thoughts about the implementation:
- The same pointer to 'fn' must be specified as 'value' for each
OPT_SUBCOMMAND, because there can be only one set of mutually
exclusive subcommands; parse_options() will BUG() otherwise.
There are other ways to tell parse_options() where to put the
function associated with the subcommand given on the command line,
but I didn't like them:
- Change parse_options()'s signature by adding a pointer to
subcommand function to be set to the function associated with
the given subcommand, affecting all callsites, even those that
don't have subcommands.
- Introduce a specific parse_options_and_subcommand() variant
with that extra funcion parameter.
- I decided against automatically calling the subcommand function
from within parse_options(), because:
- There are commands that have to perform additional actions
after option parsing but before calling the function
implementing the specified subcommand.
- The return code of the subcommand is usually the return code
of the git command, but preserving the return code of the
automatically called subcommand function would have made the
API awkward.
- Also add a OPT_SUBCOMMAND_F() variant to allow specifying an
option flag: we have two subcommands that are purposefully
excluded from completion ('git remote rm' and 'git stash save'),
so they'll have to be specified with the PARSE_OPT_NOCOMPLETE
flag.
- Some of the 'parse_opt_flags' don't make sense with subcommands,
and using them is probably just an oversight or misunderstanding.
Therefore parse_options() will BUG() when invoked with any of the
following flags while the options array contains at least one
OPT_SUBCOMMAND:
- PARSE_OPT_KEEP_DASHDASH: parse_options() stops parsing
arguments when encountering a "--" argument, so it doesn't
make sense to expect and keep one before a subcommand, because
it would prevent the parsing of the subcommand.
However, this flag is allowed in combination with the
PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag, because the double dash
might be meaningful for the command's default operation mode,
e.g. to disambiguate refs and pathspecs.
- PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION: As its name suggests, this flag
tells parse_options() to stop as soon as it encouners a
non-option argument, but subcommands are by definition not
options... so how could they be parsed, then?!
- PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN: This flag can be used to collect any
unknown --options and then pass them to a different command or
subsystem. Surely if a command has subcommands, then this
functionality should rather be delegated to one of those
subcommands, and not performed by the command itself.
However, this flag is allowed in combination with the
PARSE_OPT_SUBCOMMAND_OPTIONAL flag, making possible to pass
--options to the default operation mode.
- If the command with subcommands has a default operation mode, then
all arguments to the command must preceed the arguments of the
subcommand.
AFAICT we don't have any commands where this makes a difference,
because in those commands either only the command accepts any
arguments ('notes' and 'remote'), or only the default subcommand
('reflog' and 'stash'), but never both.
- The 'argv' array passed to subcommand functions currently starts
with the name of the subcommand. Keep this behavior. AFAICT no
subcommand functions depend on the actual content of 'argv[0]',
but the parse_options() call handling their options expects that
the options start at argv[1].
- To support handling subcommands programmatically in our Bash
completion script, 'git cmd --git-completion-helper' will now list
both subcommands and regular --options, if any. This means that
the completion script will have to separate subcommands (i.e.
words without a double dash prefix) from --options on its own, but
that's rather easy to do, and it's not much work either, because
the number of subcommands a command might have is rather low, and
those commands accept only a single --option or none at all. An
alternative would be to introduce a separate option that lists
only subcommands, but then the completion script would need not
one but two git invocations and command substitutions for commands
with subcommands.
Note that this change doesn't affect the behavior of our Bash
completion script, because when completing the --option of a
command with subcommands, e.g. for 'git notes --<TAB>', then all
subcommands will be filtered out anyway, as none of them will
match the word to be completed starting with that double dash
prefix.
[1] Except 'git rerere', because many of its subcommands are
implemented in the bodies of the if-else if statements parsing the
command's subcommand argument.
[2] Except 'credential', 'credential-store' and 'fsmonitor--daemon',
because some of the functions implementing their subcommands take
special parameters.

The description of 'PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN' starts with "Keep unknown
arguments instead of erroring out". This is a bit misleading, as this
flag only applies to unknown --options, while non-option arguments are
kept even without this flag.

PARSE_OPTIONS_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT to make this obvious just by looking at
the flag name.

Create a '--diagnose' option for 'git bugreport' to collect additional
information about the repository and write it to a zipped archive.
The '--diagnose' option behaves effectively as an alias for simultaneously
running 'git bugreport' and 'git diagnose'. In the documentation, users are
explicitly recommended to attach the diagnostics alongside a bug report to
provide additional context to readers, ideally reducing some back-and-forth
between reporters and those debugging the issue.
Note that '--diagnose' may take an optional string arg (either 'stats' or
'all'). If specified without the arg, the behavior corresponds to running
'git diagnose' without '--mode'. As with 'git diagnose', this default is
intended to help reduce unintentional leaking of sensitive information).
Users can also explicitly specify '--diagnose=(stats|all)' to generate the
respective archive created by 'git diagnose --mode=(stats|all)'.

A previous change added the '--bundle-uri' option, but did not check
if the --depth parameter was included. Since bundles are not compatible
with shallow clones, provide an error message to the user who is
attempting this combination.
I am leaving this as its own change, separate from the one that
implements '--bundle-uri', because this is more of an advisory for the
user. There is nothing wrong with bootstrapping with bundles and then
fetching a shallow clone. However, that is likely going to involve too
much work for the client _and_ the server. The client will download all
of this bundle information containing the full history of the
repository only to ignore most of it. The server will get a shallow
fetch request, but with a list of haves that might cause a more painful
computation of that shallow pack-file.

Cloning a remote repository is one of the most expensive operations in
Git. The server can spend a lot of CPU time generating a pack-file for
the client's request. The amount of data can clog the network for a long
time, and the Git protocol is not resumable. For users with poor network
connections or are located far away from the origin server, this can be
especially painful.
Add a new '--bundle-uri' option to 'git clone' to bootstrap a clone from
a bundle. If the user is aware of a bundle server, then they can tell
Git to bootstrap the new repository with these bundles before fetching
the remaining objects from the origin server.

Originally, moving an in-cone <source> to an out-of-cone <destination>
was not possible, mainly because such <destination> is a directory that
is not present in the working tree.
Change the behavior so that we can move an in-cone <source> to
out-of-cone <destination> when --sparse is supplied.
Notice that <destination> can also be an out-of-cone file path, rather
than a directory.
Such <source> can be either clean or dirty, and moving it results in
different behaviors:
A clean move should move <source> to <destination> in the index (do
*not* create <destination> in the worktree), then delete <source> from
the worktree.
A dirty move should move the <source> to the <destination>, both in the
working tree and the index, but should *not* remove the resulted path
from the working tree and should *not* turn on its CE_SKIP_WORKTREE bit.
Optional reading
================
We are strict about cone mode when <destination> is a file path.
The reason is that some of the previous tests that use no-cone mode in
t7002 are keep breaking, mainly because the `dst_mode = SPARSE;` line
added in this patch.
Most features developed in both "from-out-to-in" and "from-in-to-out"
only care about cone mode situation, as no-cone mode is becoming
irrelevant. And because assigning `SPARSE` to `dst_mode` when the
repo is in no-cone mode causes miscellaneous bugs, we should just leave
this new functionality to be exclusive cone mode and save some time.

Originally, <destination> is assumed to be in the working tree. If it is
not found as a directory, then it is determined to be either a regular file
path, or error out if used under the second form (move into a directory)
of 'git-mv'. Such behavior is not ideal, mainly because Git does not
look into the index for <destination>, which could potentially be a
SKIP_WORKTREE_DIR, which we need to determine for the later "moving from
in-cone to out-of-cone" patch.
Change the logic so that Git first check if <destination> is a directory
with all its contents sparsified (a SKIP_WORKTREE_DIR).
If <destination> is such a sparse directory, then we should modify the
index the same way as we would if this were a non-sparse directory. We
must be careful to ensure that the <destination> is marked with
SKIP_WORKTREE_DIR.
Also add a `dst_w_slash` to reuse the result from `add_slash()`, which
was everywhere and can be simplified.

See related discussion [1].
`git-rm` a sparse-directory entry within a sparse-index enabled repo
behaves differently from a sparse directory within a sparse-checkout
enabled repo.
For example, in a sparse-index repo, where 'folder1' is a
sparse-directory entry, `git rm -r --sparse folder1` provides this:
rm 'folder1/'
Whereas in a sparse-checkout repo *without* sparse-index, doing so
provides this:
rm 'folder1/0/0/0'
rm 'folder1/0/1'
rm 'folder1/a'
Because `git rm` a sparse-directory entry does not need to expand the
index, therefore we should accept the current behavior, which is faster
than "expand the sparse-directory entry to match the sparse-checkout
situation".
Modify a previous test so such difference is not considered as an error.

Remove the `ensure_full_index()` method so `git-rm` does not always
expand the index when the expansion is unnecessary, i.e. when
<pathspec> does not have any possibilities to match anything outside
of sparse-checkout definition.
Expand the index when the <pathspec> needs an expanded index, i.e. the
<pathspec> contains wildcard that may need a full-index or the
<pathspec> is simply outside of sparse-checkout definition.
Notice that the test 'rm pathspec expands index when necessary' in
t1092 *is* testing this code change behavior, though it will be marked
as 'test_expect_success' only in the next patch, where we officially
mark `command_requires_full_index = 0`, so the index does not expand
unless we tell it to do so.
Notice that because we also want `ensure_full_index` to record the
stdout and stderr from Git command, a corresponding modification
is also included in this patch. The reason we want the "sparse-index-out"
and "sparse-index-err", is that we need to make sure there is no error
from Git command itself, so we can rely on the `test_region` result
and determine if the index is expanded or not.

Method pathspec_needs_expanded_index() in reset.c from 4d1cfc1351
(reset: make --mixed sparse-aware, 2021-11-29) is reusable when we
need to verify if the index needs to be expanded when the command
is utilizing a pathspec rather than a literal path.
Move it to pathspec.h for reusability.
Add a few items to the function so it can better serve its purpose as
a standalone public function:
* Add a check in front so if the index is not sparse, return early since
no expansion is needed.
* It now takes an arbitrary 'struct index_state' pointer instead of
using `the_index` and `active_cache`.
* Add documentation to the function.

Instead of using string literals for the 'refs/tags/ and

array.
This kind of change could be done in many places around the codebase,

This reverts commit 96eaffebbf (maintenance: set
log.excludeDecoration durin prefetch, 2021-01-19).
The previous change created a default decoration filter that does not
include refs/prefetch/, so this modification of the config is no longer
needed.
One issue that can happen from this point on is that users who ran the
prefetch task on previous versions of Git will still have a
log.excludeDecoration value and that will prevent the new default
decoration filter from being active. Thus, when we add the refs/bundle/
namespace as part of the bundle URI feature, those users will see
refs/bundle/ decorations.

The previous changes introduced a new default ref filter for decorations
in the 'git log' command. This can be overridden using

When a user runs 'git log', they expect a certain set of helpful
decorations. This includes:
* The HEAD ref
* Branches (refs/heads/)
* Stashes (refs/stash)
* Tags (refs/tags/)
* Remote branches (refs/remotes/)
* Replace refs (refs/replace/ or $GIT_REPLACE_REF_BASE)
Each of these namespaces was selected due to existing test cases that
verify these namespaces appear in the decorations. In particular,
stashes and replace refs can have custom colors from the
color.decorate.<slot> config option.
While one test checks for a decoration from notes, it only applies to
the tip of refs/notes/commit (or its configured ref name). Notes form
their own kind of decoration instead. Modify the expected output for the
tests in t4013 that expect this note decoration. There are several
tests throughout the codebase that verify that --decorate-refs,
--decorate-refs-exclude, and log.excludeDecoration work as designed and
the tests continue to pass without intervention.
However, there are other refs that are less helpful to show as
decoration:
* Prefetch refs (refs/prefetch/)
* Rebase refs (refs/rebase-merge/ and refs/rebase-apply/)
* Bundle refs (refs/bundle/) [!]
[!] The bundle refs are part of a parallel series that bootstraps a repo
from a bundle file, storing the bundle's refs into the repo's
refs/bundle/ namespace.
In the case of prefetch refs, 96eaffebbf (maintenance: set
log.excludeDecoration durin prefetch, 2021-01-19) added logic to add
refs/prefetch/ to the log.excludeDecoration config option. Additional
feedback pointed out that having such a side-effect can be confusing and
perhaps not helpful to users. Instead, we should hide these ref
namespaces that are being used by Git for internal reasons but are not
helpful for the users to see.
The way to provide a seamless user experience without setting the config
is to modify the default decoration filters to match our expectation of
what refs the user actually wants to see.
In builtin/log.c, after parsing the --decorate-refs and
--decorate-refs-exclude options from the command-line, call
set_default_decoration_filter(). This method populates the exclusions
from log.excludeDecoration, then checks if the list of pattern
modifications are empty. If none are specified, then the default set is
restricted to the set of inclusions mentioned earlier (HEAD, branches,
etc.). A previous change introduced the ref_namespaces array, which
includes all of these currently-used namespaces. The 'decoration' value
is non-zero when that namespace is associated with a special coloring
and fits into the list of "expected" decorations as described above,
which makes the implementation of this filter very simple.
Note that the logic in ref_filter_match() in log-tree.c follows this
matching pattern:
1. If there are exclusion patterns and the ref matches one, then ignore
the decoration.
2. If there are inclusion patterns and the ref matches one, then
definitely include the decoration.
3. If there are config-based exclusions from log.excludeDecoration and
the ref matches one, then ignore the decoration.
With this logic in mind, we need to ensure that we do not populate our
new defaults if any of these filters are manually set. Specifically, if
a user runs
git -c log.excludeDecoration=HEAD log
then we expect the HEAD decoration to not appear. If we left the default
inclusions in the set, then HEAD would match that inclusion before
reaching the config-based exclusions.
A potential alternative would be to check the list of default inclusions
at the end, after the config-based exclusions. This would still create a
behavior change for some uses of --decorate-refs-exclude=<X>, and could
be overwritten somewhat with --decorate-refs=refs/ and
--decorate-refs=HEAD. However, it no longer becomes possible to include
refs outside of the defaults while also excluding some using
log.excludeDecoration.
Another alternative would be to exclude the known namespaces that are
not intended to be shown. This would reduce the visible effect of the
change for expert users who use their own custom ref namespaces. The
implementation change would be very simple to swap due to our use of
ref_namespaces:
int i;
struct string_list *exclude = decoration_filter->exclude_ref_pattern;
/*
* No command-line or config options were given, so
* populate with sensible defaults.
*/
for (i = 0; i < NAMESPACE__COUNT; i++) {
if (ref_namespaces[i].decoration)
continue;
string_list_append(exclude, ref_namespaces[i].ref);
}
The main downside of this approach is that we expect to add new hidden
namespaces in the future, and that means that Git versions will be less
stable in how they behave as those namespaces are added.
It is critical that we provide ways for expert users to disable this
behavior change via command-line options and config keys. These changes
will be implemented in a future change.
Add a test that checks that the defaults are not added when
--decorate-refs is specified. We verify this by showing that HEAD is not
included as it normally would. Also add a test that shows that the
default filter avoids the unwanted decorations from refs/prefetch,
refs/rebase-merge,
and refs/bundle.

The ref_namespaces array is a new centralized location for information

Create a new "Repository, command and file interfaces" section in the

new criteria from the generic "Guides" section.
The "Guides" section was added in f442f28a81 (git.txt: add list of

"gitfaq(7)" listed under "Guides".
But placing e.g. "gitignore(5)" in it is stretching the meaning of
what a "guide" is, ideally that section should list things similar to
"giteveryday(7)" and "gitcore-tutorial(7)".
An alternate name that was considered for this new section was "User
formats", for consistency with the nomenclature used for man section 5
in general. My man(1) lists it as "File formats and conventions,
e.g. /etc/passwd".
So calling this "git help --formats" or "git help --user-formats"
would make sense for e.g. gitignore(5), but would be stretching it
somewhat for githooks(5), and would seem really suspect for the likes
of gitcli(7).

Add a "free_removed_argv_elements" member to "struct

We have various memory leaks in APIs that take and munge "const

"argv" we get to the "main" function, in which case we don't leak
memory, but other times we're giving it the "v" member of a "struct
strvec" we created.
There's several potential ways to fix those sort of leaks, we could
add a "nodup" mode to "struct strvec", which would work for the cases
where we push constant strings to it. But that wouldn't work as soon
as we used strvec_pushf(), or otherwise needed to duplicate or create
a string for that "struct strvec".
Let's instead make it the responsibility of the revisions API. If it's
going to clobber elements of argv it can also free() them, which it
will now do if instructed to do so via "free_removed_argv_elements".

* We don't need the "count" and "objects" variables introduced in

They were originally added since we'd clobber rev.pending in the

restoring it when we handle OBJ_COMMIT, so the main for-loop can
refer to "rev.pending" didrectly.
* We use the "memcpy a &blank" idiom introduced in

Fix a memory leak in code added in 5d7eeee2ac (git-show: grok blobs,
trees and tags, too, 2006-12-14). As we iterate over a "<revision>..."
command-line and encounter ad OBJ_COMMIT we want to use our "struct
rev_info", but with a "pending" array of one element: the one commit
we're showing in the loop.
To do this 5d7eeee2ac saved away a pointer to rev.pending.objects and
rev.pending.nr for its iteration. We'd then clobber those (and alloc)
when we needed to show an OBJ_COMMIT.
We'd therefore leak the "rev.pending" we started out with, and only
free the new "rev.pending" in the "OBJ_COMMIT" case arm as
prepare_revision_walk() would draw it down.
Let's fix this memory leak. Now when we encounter an OBJ_COMMIT we
save away the "rev.pending" before clearing it. We then add a single
commit to it, which our indirect invocation of prepare_revision_walk()
will remove. After that we restore the "rev.pending".
Our "rev.pending" will then get free'd by the release_revisions()
added in f6bfea0ad0 (revisions API users: use release_revisions() in

You can feed absolute garbage to symbolic-ref as a target like:
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/foo..bar
While this doesn't technically break the repo entirely (our "is it a git
directory" detector looks only for "refs/" at the start), we would never
resolve such a ref, as the ".." is invalid within a refname.
Let's flag these as invalid at creation time to help the caller realize
that what they're asking for is bogus.
A few notes:
- We use REFNAME_ALLOW_ONELEVEL here, which lets:
git update-ref refs/heads/foo FETCH_HEAD
continue to work. It's unclear whether anybody wants to do something
so odd, but it does work now, so this is erring on the conservative
side. There's a test to make sure we didn't accidentally break this,
but don't take that test as an endorsement that it's a good idea, or
something we might not change in the future.
- The test in t4202-log.sh checks how we handle such an invalid ref on
the reading side, so it has to be updated to touch the HEAD file
directly.
- We need to keep our HEAD-specific check for "does it start with
refs/". The ALLOW_ONELEVEL flag means we won't be enforcing that for
other refs, but HEAD is special here because of the checks in
validate_headref().

Previously, if the user:
* Had no local changes before starting the merge
* A merge strategy makes changes to the working tree/index but returns
with exit status 2
Then we'd call restore_state() to clean up the changes and either let
the next merge strategy run (if there is one), or exit telling the user
that no merge strategy could handle the merge. Unfortunately,
restore_state() did not clean up the changes as expected; that function
was a no-op if the stash was a null, and the stash would be null if
there were no local changes before starting the merge. So, instead of
"Rewinding the tree to pristine..." as the code claimed, restore_state()
would leave garbage around in the index and working tree (possibly
including conflicts) for either the next merge strategy or for the user
after aborting the merge. And in the case of aborting the merge, the
user would be unable to run "git merge --abort" to get rid of the
unintended leftover conflicts, because the merge control files were not
written as it was presumed that we had restored to a clean state
already.
Fix the main problem by making sure that restore_state() only skips the
stash application if the stash is null rather than skipping the whole
function.
However, there is a secondary problem -- since merge.c forks
subprocesses to do the cleanup, the in-memory index is left out-of-sync.
While there was a refresh_cache(REFRESH_QUIET) call that attempted to
correct that, that function would not handle cases where the previous
merge strategy added conflicted entries. We need to drop the index and
re-read it to handle such cases.
(Alternatively, we could stop forking subprocesses and instead call some
appropriate function to do the work which would update the in-memory
index automatically. For now, just do the simple fix.)
Also, add a testcase checking this, one for which the octopus strategy
fails on the first commit it attempts to merge, and thus which it
cannot handle at all and must completely bail on (as per the "exit 2"
code path of commit 98efc8f3d8 ("octopus: allow manual resolve on the
last round.", 2006-01-13)).

Merge strategies can:
* succeed with a clean merge
* succeed with a conflicted merge
* fail to handle the given type of merge
If one is thinking in terms of automatic mergeability, they would use
the word "fail" instead of "succeed" for the second bullet, but I am
focusing here on ability of the merge strategy to handle the given
inputs, not on whether the given inputs are mergeable. The third
category is about the merge strategy failing to know how to handle the
given data; examples include:
* Passing more than 2 branches to 'recursive' or 'ort'
* Passing 2 or fewer branches to 'octopus'
* Trying to do more complicated merges with 'resolve' (I believe
directory/file conflicts will cause it to bail.)
* Octopus running into a merge conflict for any branch OTHER than
the final one (see the "exit 2" codepath of commit 98efc8f3d8
("octopus: allow manual resolve on the last round.", 2006-01-13))
That final one is particularly interesting, because it shows that the
merge strategy can muck with the index and working tree, and THEN bail
and say "sorry, this strategy cannot handle this type of merge; use
something else".
Further, we do not currently expect the individual strategies to clean
up after themselves, but instead expect builtin/merge.c to do so. For
it to be able to, it needs to save the state before trying the merge
strategy so it can have something to restore to. Therefore, remove the
shortcut bypassing the save_state() call.
There is another bug on the restore_state() side of things, so no
testcase will be added until the next commit when we have addressed that
issue as well.

There are multiple issues at play here:
1) If `git merge` is invoked with staged changes, it should abort
without doing any merging, and the user's working tree and index
should be the same as before merge was invoked.
2) Merge strategies are responsible for enforcing the index == HEAD
requirement. (See 9822175d2b ("Ensure index matches head before
invoking merge machinery, round N", 2019-08-17) for some history
around this.)
3) Merge strategies can bail saying they are not an appropriate
handler for the merge in question (possibly allowing other
strategies to be used instead).
4) Merge strategies can make changes to the index and working tree,
and have no expectation to clean up after themselves, *even* if
they bail out and say they are not an appropriate handler for
the merge in question. (The `octopus` merge strategy does this,
for example.)
5) Because of (3) and (4), builtin/merge.c stashes state before
trying merge strategies and restores it afterward.
Unfortunately, if users had staged changes before calling `git merge`,
builtin/merge.c could do the following:
* stash the changes, in order to clean up after the strategies
* try all the merge strategies in turn, each of which report they
cannot function due to the index not matching HEAD
* restore the changes via "git stash apply"
But that last step would have the net effect of unstaging the user's
changes. Fix this by adding the "--index" option to "git stash apply".
While at it, also squelch the stash apply output; we already report
"Rewinding the tree to pristine..." and don't need a detailed `git
status` report afterwards. Also while at it, switch to using strvec
so folks don't have to count the arguments to ensure we avoided an
off-by-one error, and so it's easier to add additional arguments to
the command.

builtin/merge is setup to allow multiple strategies to be specified,
and it will find the "best" result and use it. This is defeated if
some of the merge strategies abort early when they cannot handle the
merge. Fix the logic that calls recursive and ort to not do such an
early abort, but instead return "2" or "unhandled" so that the next
strategy can try to handle the merge.
Coming up with a testcase for this is somewhat difficult, since
recursive and ort both handle nearly any two-headed merge (there is
a separate code path that checks for non-two-headed merges and
already returns "2" for them). So use a somewhat synthetic testcase
of having the index not match HEAD before the merge starts, since all
merge strategies will abort for that.

As noted in the last commit and the links therein (especially commit
9822175d2b ("Ensure index matches head before invoking merge machinery,
round N", 2019-08-17), we have had a very long history of problems with
failing to enforce the requirement that index matches HEAD when starting
a merge.
The "trivial merge" logic in builtin/merge.c is yet another such case
we previously missed. Add a check for it to ensure it aborts if the
index does not match HEAD, and add a testcase where this fix is needed.
Note that the fix here would also incidentally be an alternative fix
for the testcase added in the last patch, but the fix in the last patch
is still needed when multiple merge strategies are in use, so tweak the
testcase from the previous commit so that it continues to exercise the
codepath added in the last commit.

When callers are using `cat-file` via one of the stdin-driven `--batch`
modes, all input is newline-delimited. This presents a problem when
callers wish to ask about, e.g. tree-entries that have a newline
character present in their filename.
To support this niche scenario, introduce a new `-z` mode to the
`--batch`, `--batch-check`, and `--batch-command` suite of options that
instructs `cat-file` to treat its input as NUL-delimited, allowing the
individual commands themselves to have newlines present.
The refactoring here is slightly unfortunate, since we turn loops like:
while (strbuf_getline(&buf, stdin) != EOF)
into:
while (1) {
int ret;
if (opt->nul_terminated)
ret = strbuf_getline_nul(&input, stdin);
else
ret = strbuf_getline(&input, stdin);
if (ret == EOF)
break;
}
It's tempting to think that we could use `strbuf_getwholeline()` and
specify either `\n` or `\0` as the terminating character. But for input
on platforms that include a CR character preceeding the LF, this
wouldn't quite be the same, since `strbuf_getline(...)` will trim any
trailing CR, while `strbuf_getwholeline(&buf, stdin, '\n')` will not.
In the future, we could clean this up further by introducing a variant
of `strbuf_getwholeline()` that addresses the aforementioned gap, but
that approach felt too heavy-handed for this pair of uses.
Some tests are added in t1006 to ensure that `cat-file` produces the
same output in `--batch`, `--batch-check`, and `--batch-command` modes
with and without the new `-z` option.

When working on a large feature, it can be helpful to break that feature
into multiple smaller parts that become reviewed in sequence. During
development or during review, a change to one part of the feature could
affect multiple of these parts. An interactive rebase can help adjust
the multi-part "story" of the branch.
However, if there are branches tracking the different parts of the
feature, then rebasing the entire list of commits can create commits not
reachable from those "sub branches". It can take a manual step to update
those branches.
Add a new --update-refs option to 'git rebase -i' that adds 'update-ref
<ref>' steps to the todo file whenever a commit that is being rebased is
decorated with that <ref>. At the very end, the rebase process updates
all of the listed refs to the values stored during the rebase operation.
Be sure to iterate after any squashing or fixups are placed. Update the
branch only after those squashes and fixups are complete. This allows a
--fixup commit at the tip of the feature to apply correctly to the sub
branch, even if it is fixing up the most-recent commit in that part.
This change update the documentation and builtin to accept the
--update-refs option as well as updating the todo file with the
'update-ref' commands. Tests are added to ensure that these todo
commands are added in the correct locations.
This change does _not_ include the actual behavior of tracking the
updated refs and writing the new ref values at the end of the rebase
process. That is deferred to a later change.

When sorting the output of `git shortlog` by count, a list of authors in
alphabetical order is then sorted by contribution count. Obviously, the
idea is to maintain the alphabetical order for items with identical

At the moment, this job is performed by `qsort()`. As that function is
not guaranteed to implement a stable sort algorithm, this can lead to
inconsistent and/or surprising behavior: items with identical
contribution count could lose their alphabetical sub-order.
The `qsort()` in MS Visual C's runtime does _not_ implement a stable
sort algorithm, and under certain circumstances this even causes a test
failure in t4201.21 "shortlog can match multiple groups", where two
authors both are listed with 2 contributions, and are listed in inverse
alphabetical order.

At the end of `git checkout <pathspec>`, we get a message informing how
many entries were updated in the working tree. However, this number can
be inaccurate for two reasons:
1) Delayed entries currently get counted twice.
2) Failed entries are included in the count.
The first problem happens because the counter is first incremented
before inserting the entry in the delayed checkout queue, and once again
when finish_delayed_checkout() calls checkout_entry(). And the second
happens because the counter is incremented too early in
checkout_entry(), before the entry was in fact checked out. Fix that by
moving the count increment further down in the call stack and removing
the duplicate increment on delayed entries. Note that we have to keep
a per-entry reference for the counter (both on parallel checkout and
delayed checkout) because not all entries are always accumulated at the
same counter. See checkout_worktree(), at builtin/checkout.c for an
example.

Commit 0139c58ab9 (revisions API users: add "goto cleanup" for
release_revisions(), 2022-04-13) converted an early return in
cmd_diff_files() into a goto. But it put the cleanup label too early: if
read_cache_preload() returns an error, we'll set result to "-1", but
then jump to calling run_diff_files(), overwriting our result.
We should jump past the call to run_diff_files(). Likewise, we should go
past diff_result_code(), which is expecting to see a code from an actual
diff, not a negative error code.
In practice, I suspect this bug cannot actually be triggered, because
read_cache_preload() does not seem to ever return an error. Its return
value (eventually) comes from do_read_index(), which gives the number of
cache entries found, and calls die() on error. Still, it makes sense to
fix the inadvertent change from 0139c58ab9 first, and we can look into
the overall error handling of read_cache() separately (which is present
in many other callsites).

Prior to 4f37d45706 (clone: respect remote unborn HEAD, 2021-02-05),
creation of the local HEAD was always done in update_head(). That commit
added code to handle an unborn head in an empty repository, and just did
all symref creation and config setup there.
This makes the code flow a little bit confusing, especially as new
corner cases have been covered (like the previous commit to match our
default branch name to a non-HEAD remote branch).
Let's move the creation of the unborn symref into update_head(). This
matches the other HEAD-creation cases, and now the logic is consistently
separated: the main cmd_clone() function only examines the situation and
sets variables based on what it finds, and update_head() actually
performs the update.

Drop that PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN flag to let parse_options() handle
unknown options instead, which has the additional benefit that it

Usually clone tries to use the same local HEAD as the remote (unless the
user has given --branch explicitly). Even if the remote HEAD is detached
or unborn, we can detect those situations with modern versions of Git.
If the remote is too old to support the "unborn" extension (or it has
been disabled via config), then we can't know the name of the remote's
unborn HEAD, and we fall back whatever the local default branch name is
configured to be.
But that leads to one weird corner case. It's rare because it needs a
number of factors:
- the remote has an unborn HEAD
- the remote is too old to support "unborn", or has disabled it
- the remote has another branch "foo"
- the local default branch name is "foo"
In that case you end up with a local clone on an unborn "foo" branch,
disconnected completely from the remote's "foo". This is rare in
practice, but the result is quite confusing.
When choosing "foo", we can double check whether the remote has such a
name, and if so, start our local "foo" at the same spot, rather than
making it unborn.
Note that this causes a test failure in t5605, which is cloning from a
bundle that doesn't contain HEAD (so it behaves like a remote that
doesn't support "unborn"), but has a single "main" branch. That test
expects that we end up in the weird "unborn main" case, where we don't
actually check out the remote branch of the same name. Even though we
have to update the test, this seems like an argument in favor of this
patch: checking out main is what I'd expect from such a bundle.
So this patch updates the test for the new behavior and adds an adjacent
one that checks what the original was going for: if there's no HEAD and
the bundle _doesn't_ have a branch that matches our local default name,
then we end up with nothing checked out.

Unless "--branch" was given, clone generally tries to match the local
HEAD to the remote one. For most repositories, this is easy: the remote
tells us which branch HEAD was pointing to, and we call our local
checkout() function on that branch.
When cloning an empty repository, it's a little more tricky: we have
special code that checks the transport's "unborn" extension, or falls back
to our local idea of what the default branch should be. In either case,
we point the new HEAD to that, and set up the branch.* config.
But that leaves one case unhandled: when the remote repository _isn't_
empty, but its HEAD is unborn. The checkout() function is smart enough
to realize we didn't fetch the remote HEAD and it bails with a warning.
But we'll have ignored any information the remote gave us via the unborn
extension. This leads to nonsense outcomes:
- If the remote has its HEAD pointing to an unborn "foo" and contains
another branch "bar", cloning will get branch "bar" but leave the
local HEAD pointing at "master" (or whatever our local default is),
which is useless. The project does not use "master" as a branch.
- Worse, if the other branch "bar" is instead called "master" (but
again, the remote HEAD is not pointing to it), then we end up with a
local unborn branch "master", which is not connected to the remote
"master" (it shares no history, and there's no branch.* config).
Instead, we should try to use the remote's HEAD, even if its unborn, to
be consistent with the other cases.
The reason this case was missed is that cmd_clone() handles empty and
non-empty repositories on two different sides of a conditional:
if (we have any refs) {
fetch refs;
check for --branch;
otherwise, try to point our head at remote head;
otherwise, our head is NULL;
} else {
check for --branch;
otherwise, try to use "unborn" extension;
otherwise, fall back to our default name name;
}
So the smallest change would be to repeat the "unborn" logic at the end
of the first block. But we can note some other overlaps and
inconsistencies:
- both sides have to handle --branch (though note that it's always an
error for the empty repo case, since an empty repo by definition
does not have a matching branch)
- the fall back to the default name is much more explicit in the
empty-repo case. The non-empty case eventually ends up bailing
from checkout() with a warning, which produces a similar result, but
fails to set up the branch config we do in the empty case.
So let's pull the HEAD setup out of this conditional entirely. This
de-duplicates some of the code and the result is easy to follow, because
helper functions like find_ref_by_name() do the right thing even in the
empty-repo case (i.e., by returning NULL).
There are two subtleties:
- for a remote with a detached HEAD, it will advertise an oid for HEAD
(which we store in our "remote_head" variable), but we won't find a
matching refname (so our "remote_head_points_at" is NULL). In this
case we make a local detached HEAD to match. Right now this happens
implicitly by reaching update_head() with a non-NULL remote_head
(since we skip all of the unborn-fallback). We'll now need to
account for it explicitly before doing the fallback.
- for an empty repo, we issue a warning to the user that they've
cloned an empty repo. The text of that warning doesn't make sense
for a non-empty repo with an unborn HEAD, so we'll have to
differentiate the two cases there. We could just use different text,
but instead let's allow the code to continue down to checkout(),
which will issue an appropriate warning, like:
remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout
Continuing down to checkout() will make it easier to do more fixes
on top (see below).
Note that this patch fixes the case where the other side reports an
unborn head to us using the protocol extension. It _doesn't_ fix the
case where the other side doesn't tell us, we locally guess "master",
and the other side happens to have a "master" which its HEAD doesn't
point. But it doesn't make anything worse there, and it should actually
make it easier to fix that problem on top.

Originally, "git mv" a sparse file from out-of-cone to
in-cone does not update the moved file's sparsity (remove its
SKIP_WORKTREE bit). And the corresponding cache entry is, unexpectedly,
not checked out in the working tree.
Update the behavior so that:
1. Moving from out-of-cone to in-cone removes the SKIP_WORKTREE bit from
corresponding cache entry.
2. The moved cache entry is checked out in the working tree to reflect
the updated sparsity.

In 1c41d2805e (unpack_trees_options: free messages when done,
2018-05-21) we started calling clear_unpack_trees_porcelain() on this
codepath, but missed this error path.
We could call clear_unpack_trees_porcelain() just before we error()
and return when unmerged_cache() fails, but the more correct fix is to
not have the unmerged_cache() check happen in the middle of our
"topts" setup.
Before 23cbf11b5c (merge-recursive: porcelain messages for checkout,
2010-08-11) we would not malloc() to setup our "topts", which is when
this started to leak on the error path.
Before that this code wasn't conflating the setup of "topts" and the
unmerged_cache() call in any meaningful way. The initial version in
782c2d65c2 (Build in checkout, 2008-02-07) just does a "memset" of
it, and initializes a single struct member.
Then in 8ccba008ee (unpack-trees: allow Porcelain to give different
error messages, 2008-05-17) we added the initialization of the error
message, which as noted above finally started leaking in 23cbf11b5c.

Unlike the other subcommands, "git submodule--helper update" uses the
"--recursive-prefix" flag instead of "--super-prefix". The two flags are
otherwise identical (they only serve to compute the 'display path' of a
submodule), except that there is a dedicated helper function to get the
value of "--super-prefix".
This inconsistency exists because "git submodule update" used to pass
"--recursive-prefix" between shell and C (introduced in [1]) before
"--super-prefix" was introduced (in [2]), and for simplicity, we kept
this name when "git submodule--helper update" was created.
Remove "--recursive-prefix" and its associated code from "git
submodule--helper update", replacing it with "--super-prefix".
To use "--super-prefix", module_update is marked with
SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX. Note that module_clone must also be marked with
SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX, otherwise the "git submodule--helper clone"
subprocess will fail check because "--super-prefix" is propagated via
the environment.

Replace a chunk of code in update_submodule() with an equivalent
do_get_submodule_displaypath() invocation. This is already tested by
t/t7406-submodule-update.sh:'submodule update --init --recursive from
subdirectory', so no tests are added.
The two are equivalent because:
- Exactly one of recursive_prefix|prefix is non-NULL at a time; prefix
is set at the superproject level, and recursive_prefix is set when
recursing into submodules. There is also a BUG() statement in
get_submodule_displaypath() that asserts that both cannot be non-NULL.
- In get_submodule_displaypath(), get_super_prefix() always returns NULL
because "--super-prefix" is never passed. Thus calling it is
equivalent to calling do_get_submodule_displaypath() with super_prefix
= NULL.
Therefore:
- When recursive_prefix is non-NULL, prefix is NULL, and thus
get_submodule_displaypath() just returns prefixed_path. This is
identical to calling do_get_submodule_displaypath() with super_prefix
= recursive_prefix because the return value is still the concatenation
of recursive_prefix + update_data->sm_path.
- When prefix is non-NULL, prefixed_path = update_data->sm_path. Thus
calling get_submodule_displaypath() with prefixed_path is equivalent
to calling do_get_submodule_displaypath() with update_data->sm_path

update_submodule() uses duplicated code to compute
update_data->displaypath and next.recursive_prefix. The latter is just
the former with "/" appended to it, and since update_data->displaypath
not changed outside of this statement, we can just reuse the already
computed result.
We can go one step further and remove the reference to
next.recursive_prefix altogether. Since it is only used in
update_data_to_args() (to compute the "--recursive-prefix" flag for the
recursive update child process) we can just use the already computed
.displaypath value of there.
Delete the duplicated code, and remove the unnecessary reference to
next.recursive_prefix. As a bonus, this fixes a memory leak where
prefixed_path was never freed (this leak was first reported in [1]).

There are two locations in prepare_to_clone_next_submodule() that
manually calculate the submodule display path, but should just use
do_get_submodule_displaypath() for consistency.
Do this replacement and reorder the code slightly to avoid computing
the display path twice.
Until the preceding commit this code had never been tested, with our
newly added tests we can see that both these sites have been computing
the display path incorrectly ever since they were introduced in
48308681b0 (git submodule update: have a dedicated helper for cloning,
2016-02-29) [1]:
- The first hunk puts a "/" between recursive_prefix and ce->name, but
recursive_prefix already ends with "/".
- The second hunk calls relative_path() on recursive_prefix and
ce->name, but relative_path() only makes sense when both paths share
the same base directory. This is never the case here:
- recursive_prefix is the path from the topmost superproject to the
current submodule
- ce->name is the path from the root of the current submodule to its
submodule.
so, e.g. recursive_prefix="super" and ce->name="submodule" produces
displayname="../super" instead of "super/submodule".

Follow-up on the preceding commit which taught "git submodule--helper

Unlike the preceding change this isn't strictly necessary to

But, as seen in the post-image this makes the control flow within

Change the user-facing "git submodule--helper" commands so that
they'll report their name as being "git submodule". To a user these
commands are internal implementation details, and it doesn't make
sense to emit usage about an internal helper when "git submodule" is
invoked with invalid options.
Before this we'd emit e.g.:
$ git submodule absorbgitdirs --blah
error: unknown option `blah'
usage: git submodule--helper absorbgitdirs [<options>] [<path>...]
[...]
And:
$ git submodule set-url -- --
usage: git submodule--helper set-url [--quiet] <path> <newurl>
[...]
Now we'll start with "usage: git submodule [...]" in both of those
cases. This change does not alter the "list", "name", "clone",
"config" and "create-branch" commands, those are internal-only (as an
aside; their usage info should probably invoke BUG(...)). This only
changes the user-facing commands.
The "status", "deinit" and "update" commands are not included in this
change, because their usage information already used "submodule"
rather than "submodule--helper".
I don't think it's currently possible to emit some of this usage
information in practice, as git-submodule.sh will catch unknown
options, and e.g. it doesn't seem to be possible to get "add" to emit
its usage information from "submodule--helper".
Though that change may be superfluous now, it's also harmless, and
will allow us to eventually dispatch further into "git
submodule--helper" from git-submodule.sh, while emitting the correct
usage output.

When running `git merge-tree --write-tree`, we previously would only
return an exit status reflecting the cleanness of a merge, and print out
the toplevel tree of the resulting merge. Merges also have
informational messages, such as:
* "Auto-merging <PATH>"
* "CONFLICT (content): ..."
* "CONFLICT (file/directory)"
* etc.
In fact, when non-content conflicts occur (such as file/directory,
modify/delete, add/add with differing modes, rename/rename (1to2),
etc.), these informational messages may be the only notification the
user gets since these conflicts are not representable in the contents
of the file.
Add a --[no-]messages option so that callers can request these messages
be included at the end of the output. Include such messages by default
when there are conflicts, and omit them by default when the merge is

This adds the ability to perform real merges rather than just trivial
merges (meaning handling three way content merges, recursive ancestor
consolidation, renames, proper directory/file conflict handling, and so
forth). However, unlike `git merge`, the working tree and index are
left alone and no branch is updated.
The only output is:
- the toplevel resulting tree printed on stdout
- exit status of 0 (clean), 1 (conflicts present), anything else
(merge could not be performed; unknown if clean or conflicted)
This output is meant to be used by some higher level script, perhaps in
a sequence of steps like this:
NEWTREE=$(git merge-tree --write-tree $BRANCH1 $BRANCH2)
test $? -eq 0 || die "There were conflicts..."
NEWCOMMIT=$(git commit-tree $NEWTREE -p $BRANCH1 -p $BRANCH2)
git update-ref $BRANCH1 $NEWCOMMIT
Note that higher level scripts may also want to access the
conflict/warning messages normally output during a merge, or have quick
access to a list of files with conflicts. That is not available in this
preliminary implementation, but subsequent commits will add that
ability (meaning that NEWTREE would be a lot more than a tree in the
case of conflicts).
This also marks the traditional trivial merge of merge-tree as
deprecated. The trivial merge not only had limited applicability, the
output format was also difficult to work with (and its format
undocumented), and will generally be less performant than real merges.

Let merge-tree accept a `--write-tree` parameter for choosing real
merges instead of trivial merges, and accept an optional
`--trivial-merge` option to get the traditional behavior. Note that
these accept different numbers of arguments, though, so these names
need not actually be used.
Note that real merges differ from trivial merges in that they handle:
- three way content merges
- recursive ancestor consolidation
- renames
- proper directory/file conflict handling
- etc.
Basically all the stuff you'd expect from `git merge`, just without
updating the index and working tree. The initial shell added here does

This patch adds a command line option analogous to that of GNU
grep(1)'s -m / --max-count, which users might already be used to.
This makes it possible to limit the amount of matches shown in the
output while keeping the functionality of other options such as -C
(show code context) or -p (show containing function), which would be
difficult to do with a shell pipeline (e.g. head(1)).

With 31c8221a (mktree: validate entry type in input, 2009-05-14), we
called the sha1_object_info() API to obtain the type information, but
allowed the call to silently fail when the object was missing locally,
so that we can sanity-check the types opportunistically when the
object did exist.
The implementation is understandable because back then there was no
lazy/on-demand downloading of individual objects from the promisor
remotes that causes a long delay and materializes the object, hence
defeating the point of using "--missing". The design is hurting us
now.
We could bypass the opportunistic type/mode consistency check
altogether when "--missing" is given, but instead, use the
oid_object_info_extended() API and tell it that we are only interested
in objects that locally exist and are immediately available by passing
OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT bit to it. That way, we will still
retain the cheap and opportunistic sanity check for local objects.

After b489b9d9aa (branch: use branch_checked_out() when deleting refs,
2022-06-14), we no longer look at our local "worktrees" variable, since
branch_checked_out() handles it under the hood. The compiler didn't
notice the unused variable because we call functions to initialize and
free it (so it's not totally unused, it just doesn't do anything
useful).

In 12d47e3b1f (fetch: use new branch_checked_out() and add tests,
2022-06-14), fetch's update_local_ref() function stopped using its
"worktrees" parameter. It doesn't need it, since the
branch_checked_out() function examines the global worktrees under the
hood.
So we can not only drop the unused parameter from that function, but
also from its entire call chain. And as we do so all the way up to
do_fetch(), we can see that nobody uses it at all, and we can drop the
local variable there entirely.

This is an option rather than command. Make the message convey this
similar to the other messages in the file.
