The size and padding of `struct object_entry` is an important factor in
determining the memory usage of `pack-objects`. For this reason,
3b13a5f263 (pack-objects: reorder members to shrink struct object_entry,
2018-04-14) added a comment containing some information from pahole
indicating the size and padding of that struct.
Unfortunately, this comment hasn't been updated since 9ac3f0e5b3
(pack-objects: fix performance issues on packing large deltas,
2018-07-22), despite the size of this struct changing many times since
that commit.
To see just how often the size of object_entry changes, I skimmed the
first-parent history with this script:
for sha in $(git rev-list --first-parent --reverse 9ac3f0e..)
do
echo -n "$sha "
git checkout -q $sha
make -s pack-objects.o 2>/dev/null
pahole -C object_entry pack-objects.o | sed -n \
-e 's/\/\* size: \([0-9]*\).*/size \1/p' \
-e 's/\/\*.*padding: \([0-9]*\).*/padding \1/p' | xargs
done | uniq -f1
In between each merge, the size of object_entry changes too often to
record every instance here. But the important merges (along with their
corresponding sizes and bit paddings) in chronological order are:
ad635e82d6 (Merge branch 'nd/pack-objects-pack-struct', 2018-05-23) size 80 padding 4
29d9e3e2c4 (Merge branch 'nd/pack-deltify-regression-fix', 2018-08-22) size 80 padding 9
3ebdef2e1b (Merge branch 'jk/pack-delta-reuse-with-bitmap', 2018-09-17) size 80 padding 8
33e4ae9c50 (Merge branch 'bc/sha-256', 2019-01-29) size 96 padding 8
(indicating that the current size of the struct is 96 bytes, with 8
padding bits).
Even though this comment was written in a good spirit, it is updated
infrequently enough that it serves to confuse rather than to encourage
contributors to update the appropriate values when the modify the
definition of object_entry.
For that reason, eliminate the confusion by removing the comment
altogether.

The contrib/vscode/init.sh script initializes the .vscode directory with
some helpful metadata so VS Code handles Git code better.
One big issue that VS Code has is detecting the tab width based on file
type. ".txt" files were not covered by this script before, so add them
with the appropriate tab widths. This prevents inserting spaces instead
of tabs and keeps the tab width to eight instead of four or two.
While we are here, remove the "editor.wordWrap" settings. The editor's
word wrap is only cosmetic: it does not actually insert newlines when
your typing goes over the column limit. This can make it appear like you
have properly wrapped code, but it is incorrect. Further, existing code
that is over the column limit is wrapped even if your editor window is
wider than the limit. This can make reading such code more difficult.
Without these lines, VS Code renders the lines accurately, without
"ghost" newlines.

8959555cee (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level
directory, 2022-03-02), adds a function to check for ownership of
repositories using a directory that is representative of it, and ways to
add exempt a specific repository from said check if needed, but that
check didn't account for owership of the gitdir, or (when used) the
gitfile that points to that gitdir.
An attacker could create a git repository in a directory that they can
write into but that is owned by the victim to work around the fix that
was introduced with CVE-2022-24765 to potentially run code as the
victim.
An example that could result in privilege escalation to root in *NIX would
be to set a repository in a shared tmp directory by doing (for example):
$ git -C /tmp init
To avoid that, extend the ensure_valid_ownership function to be able to
check for all three paths.
This will have the side effect of tripling the number of stat() calls
when a repository is detected, but the effect is expected to be likely
minimal, as it is done only once during the directory walk in which Git
looks for a repository.
Additionally make sure to resolve the gitfile (if one was used) to find
the relevant gitdir for checking.
While at it change the message printed on failure so it is clear we are
referring to the repository by its worktree (or gitdir if it is bare) and
not to a specific directory.

In asciidoc's HTML output of the "gitrevisions" and "git-rev-parse"
documentation, the header:
The ... (three-dot) Symmetric Difference Notation
is rendered using "&8230;", a horizontal ellipsis. This is visually
ugly, but also hard to search for or cut-and-paste. We really mean three
ascii dots (0x2e) here, so let's make sure it renders as such.
The simplest way to do that is just escaping the leading dot, as the
instances in the rest of the section do. Arguably this should all be
converted to use backticks, which would let us drop the quoting here and
elsewhere (e.g., {carat}). But that does change the rendering slightly.
So let's fix the bug first, and we can decide on migrating the whole
section separately.
Note that this produces an empty doc-diff of the manpages. Curiously,
asciidoc produces the same ellipsis entity in the XML file, but docbook
then converts it back into three literal dots for the roff output! So
the roff manpages have been correct all along (which may be a reason
nobody noticed this until now).
