The variable `matches` used to hold the return of a `dir_path_match()`
call that was removed in 95c11ecc73 ("Fix error-prone fill_directory()
API; make it only return matches", 2020-04-01). Now `matches` will
always hold 0, which is the value it's initialized with; and the
condition `matches != MATCHED_EXACTLY` will always evaluate to true. So
let's remove this unnecessary variable.
Interestingly, it seems that `matches != MATCHED_EXACTLY` was already
unnecessary before 95c11ecc73. That's because `remove_directories` is
always set to 1 when we have pathspecs; So, in the condition
`!remove_directories && matches != MATCHED_EXACTLY`, we would either:
- have pathspecs (or have been given `-d`) and ignore `matches` because
`remove_directories` is 1; or
- not have pathspecs (nor `-d`) and end up just checking that
`0 != MATCHED_EXACTLY`, as `matches` would never get reassigned
after its zero initialization (because there is no pathspec to match).

This gets us rid of an extra pointer deference, and I think makes more

the stream itself.
Let's also populate a "open" callback in the same struct. That's now

For every new branch that git-p4 imports, it needs to find the commit
where it branched off its parent branch. While p4 doesn't record this
information explicitly, the first changelist on a branch is usually an
identical copy of the parent branch.
The method searchParent() tries to find a commit in the history of the
given "parent" branch whose tree exactly matches the initial changelist
of the new branch, "target". The code iterates through the parent
commits and compares each of them to this initial changelist using
diff-tree.
Since we already know the tree object name we are looking for, spawning
diff-tree for each commit is wasteful.
Use the "--format" option of "rev-list" to find out the tree object name
of each commit in the history, and find the tree whose name is exactly
the same as the tree of the target commit to optimize this.
This results in a considerable speed-up, at least on Windows. On one
Windows machine with a fairly large repository of about 16000 commits in
the parent branch, the current code takes over 7 minutes, while the new
code only takes just over 10 seconds for the same changelist:

If find_word_boundaries() encounters a zero length match (which can be
caused by matching a newline or using '*' instead of '+' in the regex)
we stop splitting the input into words which generates an inaccurate
diff. To fix this increment the start point when there is a zero
length match and try a new match. This is safe as posix regular
expressions always return the longest available match so a zero length
match means there are no longer matches available from the current
position.
Commit bf82940dbf (color-words: enable REG_NEWLINE to help user,
2009-01-17) prevented matching newlines in negated character classes
but it is still possible for the user to have an explicit newline
match in the regex which could cause a zero length match.
One could argue that having explicit newline matches or using '*'
rather than '+' are user errors but it seems to be better to work
round them than produce inaccurate diffs.

We already have tests for the basic parallel-checkout operations. But
this code can also run be executed by other commands, such as
git-read-tree and git-sparse-checkout, which are currently not tested
with multiple workers. To promote a wider test coverage without
duplicating tests:
1. Add the GIT_TEST_CHECKOUT_WORKERS environment variable, to optionally
force parallel-checkout execution during the whole test suite.
2. Set this variable (with a value of 2) in the second test round of our
linux-gcc CI job. This round runs `make test` again with some
optional GIT_TEST_* variables enabled, so there is no additional
overhead in exercising the parallel-checkout code here.
Note that tests checking out less than two parallel-eligible entries
will fall back to the sequential mode. Nevertheless, it's still a good
exercise for the parallel-checkout framework as the fallback codepath
also writes the queued entries using the parallel-checkout functions
(only without spawning any worker).

Allow checkout-index to use the parallel checkout framework, honoring
the checkout.workers configuration.
There are two code paths in checkout-index which call
`checkout_entry()`, and thus, can make use of parallel checkout:
`checkout_file()`, which is used to write paths explicitly given at the
command line; and `checkout_all()`, which is used to write all paths in
the index, when the `--all` option is given.
In both operation modes, checkout-index doesn't abort immediately on a
`checkout_entry()` failure. Instead, it tries to check out all remaining
paths before exiting with a non-zero exit code. To keep this behavior
when parallel checkout is being used, we must allow
`run_parallel_checkout()` to try writing the queued entries before we
exit, even if we already got an error code from a previous
`checkout_entry()` call.
However, `checkout_all()` doesn't return on errors, it calls `exit()`
with code 128. We could make it call `run_parallel_checkout()` before
exiting, but it makes the code easier to follow if we unify the exit
path for both checkout-index modes at `cmd_checkout_index()`, and let
this function take care of the interactions with the parallel checkout
API. So let's do that.
With this change, we also have to consider whether we want to keep using
128 as the error code for `git checkout-index --all`, while we use 1 for
`git checkout-index <path>` (even when the actual error is the same).
Since there is not much value in having code 128 only for `--all`, and
there is no mention about it in the docs (so it's unlikely that changing
it will break any existing script), let's make both modes exit with code
1 on `checkout_entry()` errors.

A HTTP-clone test introduced in 4fe788b1b0 ("builtin/clone.c: add

not marked as such.
The aforementioned patch implements --reject-shallow for a variety of
situations, but usage of a protocol that requires a remote helper is not
one of them. (Such an implementation would require extending the remote
helper protocol to support the passing of a "reject shallow" option, and
then teaching it to both protocol-speaking ends.)
For now, to make it pass when GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION=0 is passed, add
"-c protocol.version=2". A more complete solution would be either to
augment the remote helper protocol to support this feature or to return
a fatal error when using --reject-shallow with a protocol that uses a
remote helper.

Currently, the packfile negotiation step within a Git fetch cannot be
done independent of sending the packfile, even though there is at least
one application wherein this is useful. Therefore, make it possible for
this negotiation step to be done independently. A subsequent commit will
use this for one such application - push negotiation.
This feature is for protocol v2 only. (An implementation for protocol v0
would require a separate implementation in the fetch, transport, and
transport helper code.)
In the protocol, the main hindrance towards independent negotiation is
that the server can unilaterally decide to send the packfile. This is
solved by a "wait-for-done" argument: the server will then wait for the
client to say "done". In practice, the client will never say it; instead
it will cease requests once it is satisfied.
In the client, the main change lies in the transport and transport
helper code. fetch_refs_via_pack() performs everything needed - protocol
version and capability checks, and the negotiation itself.
There are 2 code paths that do not go through fetch_refs_via_pack() that
needed to be individually excluded: the bundle transport (excluded
through requiring smart_options, which the bundle transport doesn't
support) and transport helpers that do not support takeover. If or when
we support independent negotiation for protocol v0, we will need to
modify these 2 code paths to support it. But for now, report failure if
independent negotiation is requested in these cases.

The `trailer.<token>.command` configuration variable
specifies a command (run via the shell, so it does not have
to be a single name or path to the command, but can be a
shell script), and the first occurrence of substring $ARG is
replaced with the value given to the `interpret-trailer`
command for the token in a '--trailer <token>=<value>' argument.
This has three downsides:
* The use of $ARG in the mechanism misleads the users that
the value is passed in the shell variable, and tempt them
to use $ARG more than once, but that would not work, as
the second and subsequent $ARG are not replaced.
* Because $ARG is textually replaced without regard to the
shell language syntax, even '$ARG' (inside a single-quote
pair), which a user would expect to stay intact, would be
replaced, and worse, if the value had an unmatched single
quote (imagine a name like "O'Connor", substituted into
NAME='$ARG' to make it NAME='O'Connor'), it would result in
a broken command that is not syntactically correct (or
worse).
* The first occurrence of substring `$ARG` will be replaced
with the empty string, in the command when the command is
first called to add a trailer with the specified <token>.
This is a bad design, the nature of automatic execution
causes it to add a trailer that we don't expect.
Introduce a new `trailer.<token>.cmd` configuration that
takes higher precedence to deprecate and eventually remove
`trailer.<token>.command`, which passes the value as an
argument to the command. Instead of "$ARG", users can
refer to the value as positional argument, $1, in their
scripts. At the same time, in order to allow
`git interpret-trailers` to better simulate the behavior
of `git command -s`, 'trailer.<token>.cmd' will not
automatically execute.

(verify_path: disallow symlinks in .gitmodules, 2018-05-04), and we
stopped following symlinks for .gitattributes, .gitignore, and .mailmap
in the commits from 204333b015 (Merge branch 'jk/open-dotgitx-with-nofollow',
2021-03-22). The reasons are discussed in detail there, but we never
adjusted the documentation to let users know.
This hasn't been a big deal since the point is that such setups were
mildly broken and thought to be unusual anyway. But it certainly doesn't
hurt to be clear and explicit about it.
