The 'git maintenance [un]register' commands set or unset the multi-
valued maintenance.repo config key with the absolute path of the current
repository. These are set in the global config file.
Instead of calling a subcommand and creating a new process, create the
proper API calls to git_config_set_multivar_in_file_gently(). It
requires loading the filename for the global config file (and erroring
out if now $HOME value is set). We also need to be careful about using
CONFIG_REGEX_NONE when adding the value and using
CONFIG_FLAGS_FIXED_VALUE when removing the value. In both cases, we
check that the value already exists (this check already existed for
'unregister').
Also, remove the transparent translation of the error code from the
config API to the exit code of 'git maintenance'. Instead, use die() to
recover from failures at that level. In the case of 'unregister
--force', allow the CONFIG_NOTHING_SET error code to be a success. This
allows a possible race where another process removes the config value.
The end result is that the config value is not set anymore, so we can
treat this as a success.

The 'git maintenance unregister' subcommand has a step that removes the
current repository from the multi-valued maitenance.repo config key.
This fails if the repository is not listed in that key. This makes
running 'git maintenance unregister' twice result in a failure in the
second instance.
This failure exit code is helpful, but its message is not. Add a new
die() message that explicitly calls out the failure due to the
repository not being registered.
In some cases, users may want to run 'git maintenance unregister' just
to make sure that background jobs will not start on this repository, but
they do not want to check to see if it is registered first. Add a new
'--force' option that will siltently succeed if the repository is not
already registered.
Also add an extra test of 'git maintenance unregister' at a point where
there are no registered repositories. This should fail without --force.

Let's instead partially go with the approach suggested in [2] of
making this not take an argument. As noted in [1] "coccinelle" will
ignore such tokens in argument lists that it doesn't know about, and
it's less of a surprise to syntax highlighters.
This undoes the "help us notice when a parameter marked as unused is

While cron is specified by POSIX, there are a wide variety of
implementations in use. "git maintenance" assumes that the
"crontab" command can be fed from its standard input the new
contents and the syntax to do so is not to have any filename
argument, as POSIX describes. However, on FreeBSD, the cron
implementation requires a file name argument: if the user wants to
edit standard input, they must specify "-".
Unfortunately, POSIX systems do not have to interpret "-" on the
command line of crontab as a request to read from the standard
input. Blindly adding "-" on the command line would not work as a
general solution.
Since POSIX tells us that cron must accept a file name argument, let's
solve this problem by specifying a temporary file instead. This will
ensure that we work with the vast majority of implementations.
Note that because delete_tempfile closes the file for us, we should not
call fclose here on the handle, since doing so will introduce a double
free.

Several of the git-maintenance subcommands don't take any options, so
they don't bother looking at argv at all. This means they'll silently
accept garbage, like:
$ git maintenance register --foo
[no output]
$ git maintenance stop bar
[no output]
Let's give them the basic boilerplate to detect and handle these cases:
$ git maintenance register --foo
error: unknown option `foo'
usage: git maintenance register
$ git maintenance stop bar
usage: git maintenance stop
We could reduce the number of lines of code here a bit with a shared
helper function. But it's worth building out the boilerplate, as it may
serve as the base for adding options later.
Note one complication: maintenance_start() calls directly into
maintenance_register(), so it now needs to pass a plausible argv (we
don't care, but parse_options() is expecting there to at least be an
argv[0] program name). This is an extra line of code, but it eliminates
the need for an explanatory comment.

'git maintenanze' parses its subcommands with a couple of if
statements. parse-options has just learned to parse subcommands, so
let's use that facility instead, with the benefits of shorter code,
handling missing or unknown subcommands, and listing subcommands for
Bash completion.
This change makes 'git maintenance' consistent with other commands in
that the help text shown for '-h' goes to standard output, not error,
in the exit code and error message on unknown subcommand, and the
error message on missing subcommand. There is a test checking these,
which is now updated accordingly.
Note that some of the functions implementing each subcommand don't
accept any parameters, so add the (unused) 'argc', '**argv' and
'*prefix' parameters to make them match the type expected by
parse-options, and thus avoid casting function pointers.

This reverts commit 96eaffebbf (maintenance: set

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.

We could also retain the "ret < 0" behavior here without hardcoding

purpose.
* ds/no-usable-cron-on-macos:
maintenance: disable cron on macOS
In eba1ba9 (maintenance: `git maintenance run` learned
`--scheduler=<scheduler>`, 2021-09-04), we introduced the ability to
specify a scheduler explicitly. This led to some extra checks around
whether an alternative scheduler was available. This added the
functionality of removing background maintenance from schedulers other
than the one selected.
On macOS, cron is technically available, but running 'crontab' triggers
a UI prompt asking for special permissions. This is the major reason why
launchctl is used as the default scheduler. The is_crontab_available()
method triggers this UI prompt, causing user disruption.
Remove this disruption by using an #ifdef to prevent running crontab
this way on macOS. This has the unfortunate downside that if a user
manually selects cron via the '--scheduler' option, then adjusting the
scheduler later will not remove the schedule from cron. The
'--scheduler' option ignores the is_available checks, which is how we
can get into this situation.
Extract the new check_crontab_process() method to avoid making the
'child' variable unused on macOS. The method is marked MAYBE_UNUSED
because it has no callers on macOS.

- the_repository->settings.core_multi_pack_index in

The two implementations have existed since the incremental-repack task
was introduced in e841a79a13 (maintenance: add incremental-repack auto
condition, 2020-09-25). These two values can diverge because
prepare_repo_settings() enables the feature in the_repository->settings
by default.
In the case where core.multiPackIndex is not set in the config, the auto
condition would fail, causing the incremental-repack task to not be
run. Because we always want to consider the default values, we should
always use the_repository->settings.

Since we can remove that, we can also get rid of the "result"

As the patch shows the returned value from launchctl_get_uid() wasn't

just calls xstrfmt() and getuid(), neither of which have any subtle

In many cases where we spawned child processes that _may_ trigger a
repack, we explicitly closed the object store first (so that the
`repack` process can delete the `.pack` files, which would otherwise not
be possible on Windows since files cannot be deleted as long as they as
still in use).
Wherever possible, we now use the new `close_object_store` bit of the

This makes the code easier to maintain because it is now more obvious
that we only release those file handles because of those child

"git maintenance" scheduler fix for macOS.
* js/maintenance-launchctl-fix:
maintenance: skip bootout/bootstrap when plist is registered
maintenance: create `launchctl` configuration using a lock file
The existing mechanism for scheduling background maintenance is done
through cron. On Linux systems managed by systemd, systemd provides an
alternative to schedule recurring tasks: systemd timers.
The main motivations to implement systemd timers in addition to cron
are:
* cron is optional and Linux systems running systemd might not have it
installed.
* The execution of `crontab -l` can tell us if cron is installed but not
if the daemon is actually running.
* With systemd, each service is run in its own cgroup and its logs are
tagged by the service inside journald. With cron, all scheduled tasks
are running in the cron daemon cgroup and all the logs of the
user-scheduled tasks are pretended to belong to the system cron
service.
Concretely, a user that doesn’t have access to the system logs won’t
have access to the log of their own tasks scheduled by cron whereas
they will have access to the log of their own tasks scheduled by
systemd timer.
Although `cron` attempts to send email, that email may go unseen by
the user because these days, local mailboxes are not heavily used
anymore.
In order to schedule git maintenance, we need two unit template files:
* ~/.config/systemd/user/git-maintenance@.service
to define the command to be started by systemd and
* ~/.config/systemd/user/git-maintenance@.timer
to define the schedule at which the command should be run.
Those units are templates that are parameterized by the frequency.
Based on those templates, 3 timers are started:
* git-maintenance@hourly.timer
* git-maintenance@daily.timer
* git-maintenance@weekly.timer
The command launched by those three timers are the same as with the
other scheduling methods:
/path/to/git for-each-repo --exec-path=/path/to
--config=maintenance.repo maintenance run --schedule=%i
with the full path for git to ensure that the version of git launched
for the scheduled maintenance is the same as the one used to run
`maintenance start`.
The timer unit contains `Persistent=true` so that, if the computer is
powered down when a maintenance task should run, the task will be run
when the computer is back powered on.

Depending on the system, different schedulers can be used to schedule
the hourly, daily and weekly executions of `git maintenance run`:
* `launchctl` for MacOS,
* `schtasks` for Windows and
* `crontab` for everything else.
`git maintenance run` now has an option to let the end-user explicitly
choose which scheduler he wants to use:
`--scheduler=auto|crontab|launchctl|schtasks`.
When `git maintenance start --scheduler=XXX` is run, it not only
registers `git maintenance run` tasks in the scheduler XXX, it also
removes the `git maintenance run` tasks from all the other schedulers to
ensure we cannot have two schedulers launching concurrent identical
tasks.
The default value is `auto` which chooses a suitable scheduler for the
system.
`git maintenance stop` doesn't have any `--scheduler` parameter because
this command will try to remove the `git maintenance run` tasks from all
the available schedulers.

common for various terminal UX's to allow the user to select "words",
and by including the trailing dot a user wanting to select the path to
gc.log will need to manually remove the trailing dot.
Such a user would also probably need to adjust the path if it e.g. had
spaces in it, but this should address this very common case.

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
variable.
