Our word-diff does not look at the -/+ lines generated by xdiff at all
(because they are not real lines to show the user, but just the
tokenized words split into lines). Instead we use the line numbers from
the hunk headers to index our own data structure.
As a result, our xdi_diff_outf() callback throws away all lines except
hunk headers. We can instead use a hunk callback, which has two
benefits:
1. We don't have to re-parse the generated hunk header line, but can
use the passed parameters directly.
2. By setting our line callback to NULL, we can tell xdiff-interface
that it does not even need to bother generating the other lines,
saving a small amount of work.

We do not include hunk header lines when computing patch-ids, since
the line numbers would create false negatives. Rather than detect and
skip them in our line callback, we can simply tell xdiff to avoid
generating them.
This is similar to the previous commit, but split out because it
actually requires modifying the matching line callback.

Some callers of xdi_diff_outf() do not look at the generated hunk header
lines at all. By plugging in a no-op hunk callback, this tells xdiff not
to even bother formatting them.
This patch introduces a stock no-op callback and uses it with a few
callers whose line callbacks explicitly ignore hunk headers (because
they look only for +/- lines).

The value of timeout starts as an int value, and for this reason it
cannot overflow unsigned long long aka ULONGLONG. The unsigned version
of this initial value is available in orig_timeout. The difference
(orig_timeout - elapsed) cannot wrap around because it is protected by
a conditional (as can be seen in the patch text). Hence, the ULONGLONG
difference can only have values that are smaller than the initial
timeout value and truncation to int cannot overflow.

The add_missing_tags() method currently has quadratic behavior.
This is due to a linear number (based on number of tags T) of
calls to in_merge_bases_many, which has linear performance (based
on number of commits C in the repository).
Replace this O(T * C) algorithm with an O(T + C) algorithm by
using get_reachable_subset(). We ignore the return list and focus
instead on the reachable_flag assigned to the commits we care

The existing reachability algorithms in commit-reach.c focus on
finding merge-bases or determining if all commits in a set X can
reach at least one commit in a set Y. However, for two commits sets
X and Y, we may also care about which commits in Y are reachable
from at least one commit in X.
Implement get_reachable_subset() which answers this question. Given
two arrays of commits, 'from' and 'to', return a commit_list with
every commit from the 'to' array that is reachable from at least
one commit in the 'from' array.
The algorithm is a simple walk starting at the 'from' commits, using
the PARENT2 flag to indicate "this commit has already been added to
the walk queue". By marking the 'to' commits with the PARENT1 flag,
we can determine when we see a commit from the 'to' array. We remove
the PARENT1 flag as we add that commit to the result list to avoid
duplicates.
The order of the resulting list is a reverse of the order that the
commits are discovered in the walk.
There are a couple shortcuts to avoid walking more than we need:
1. We determine the minimum generation number of commits in the
'to' array. We do not walk commits with generation number
below this minimum.
2. We count how many distinct commits are in the 'to' array, and
decrement this count when we discover a 'to' commit during the
walk. If this number reaches zero, then we can terminate the
walk.
Tests will be added using the 'test-tool reach' helper in a
subsequent commit.

The pathspec code always takes names to be matched as a
name/namelen pair, but match_attrs() never looks at namelen,
and just treats "name" like a NUL-terminated string, passing
it to git_check_attr().
This usually works anyway. Every caller passes a
NUL-terminated string, and in all but one the passed-in
length is the same as the length of the string (the
exception is dir_path_match(), which may pass a smaller
length to drop a trailing slash). So we won't currently ever
read random memory, and the one case I found actually
happens to work correctly because the attr code can handle
the trailing slash itself.
But it's still worth addressing, as the function interface
implies that the name does not have to be NUL-terminated,
making this an accident waiting to happen.
Since teaching git_check_attr() to take a ptr/len pair would
be a big refactor, we'll just allocate a new string. We can
do this only when necessary, which avoids paying the cost
for most callers.

The approxidate parser has a table of special keywords like
"yesterday", "noon", "pm", etc. Some of these, like "pm", do
the right thing if we've recently seen a number: "3pm" is
what you'd think.
However, most of them do not look at or modify the
pending-number flag at all, which means a number may "jump"
across a significant keyword and be used unexpectedly. For
example, when parsing:
January 5th noon pm
we'd connect the "5" to "pm", and ignore it as a
day-of-month. This is obviously a bit silly, as "noon"
already implies "pm". And other mis-parsed things are
generally as silly ("January 5th noon, years ago" would
connect the 5 to "years", but probably nobody would type
that).
However, the fix is simple: when we see a keyword like
"noon", we should flush the pending number (as we would if
we hit another number, or the end of the string). In a few
of the specials that actually modify the day, we can simply
throw away the number (saying "Jan 5 yesterday" should not
respect the number at all).
Note that we have to either move or forward-declare the
static pending_number() to make it accessible to these
functions; this patch moves it.

When a traversal sees the --indexed-objects option, it adds
all blobs and valid cache-trees from the index to the
traversal using add_index_objects_to_pending(). But that
function totally ignores its flags parameter!
That means that doing:
git rev-list --objects --indexed-objects
and
git rev-list --objects --not --indexed-objects
produce the same output, because we ignore the UNINTERESTING
flag when walking the index in the second example.
Nobody noticed because this feature was added as a way for
tools like repack to increase their coverage of reachable
objects, meaning it would only be used like the first
example above.
But since it's user facing (and because the documentation

The previous commit taught xdiff to optionally provide the hunk header
data to a specialized callback. But most users of xdiff actually use our
more convenient xdi_diff_outf() helper, which ensures that our callbacks
are always fed whole lines.
Let's plumb the special hunk-callback through this interface, too. It
will follow the same rule as xdiff when the hunk callback is NULL (i.e.,
continue to pass a stringified hunk header to the line callback). Since
we add NULL to each caller, there should be no behavior change yet.

The xdiff library always emits hunk header lines to our callbacks as
formatted strings like "@@ -a,b +c,d @@\n". This is convenient if we're
going to output a diff, but less so if we actually need to compute using
those numbers, which requires re-parsing the line.
In preparation for moving away from this, let's teach xdiff a new
callback function which gets the broken-out hunk information. To help
callers that don't want to use this new callback, if it's NULL we'll
continue to format the hunk header into a string.
Note that this function renames the "outf" callback to "out_line", as
well. This isn't strictly necessary, but helps in two ways:
1. Now that there are two callbacks, it's nice to use more descriptive
names.
2. Many callers did not zero the emit_callback_data struct, and needed
to be modified to set ecb.out_hunk to NULL. By changing the name of
the existing struct member, that guarantees that any new callers
from in-flight topics will break the build and be examined
manually.

The `--preserve-merges` mode of the `rebase` command is slated to be
deprecated soon, as the more powerful `--rebase-merges` mode is
available now, and the latter was designed with the express intent to
address the shortcomings of `--preserve-merges`' design (e.g. the
inability to reorder commits in an interactive rebase).
As such, we will eventually even remove the `--preserve-merges` support,
and along with it, its tests.
In preparation for this, and also to allow the Windows phase of our
automated tests to save some well-needed time when running the test
suite, this commit introduces a new prerequisite REBASE_P, which can be
forced to being unmet by setting the environment variable
`GIT_TEST_SKIP_REBASE_P` to any non-empty string.

independent of each other as possible (with the one exception of an
initial `setup` test case, which is only a test case in Git's test suite
because it does not have a notion of a fixture or setup).
This patch addresses one particular instance of this principle being
violated: a few test cases in t3418-rebase-continue.sh depend on a side
effect of a test case that verifies a specific `rebase -p` behavior. The
later test cases should, however, still succeed even if the `rebase -p`
test case is skipped.

Originally, the `--preserve-merges` option of the `git rebase` command
piggy-backed on top of the `--interactive` feature. For that reason, the
early test cases were added to the very same test script that contains
the `git rebase -i` tests: `t3404-rebase-interactive.sh`.
However, since c42abfe785 (rebase: introduce a dedicated backend for
--preserve-merges, 2018-05-28), the `--preserve-merges` feature got its
own backend, in preparation for converting the rest of the
`--interactive` code to built-in code, written in C rather than shell.
The reason why the `--preserve-merges` feature was not converted at the
same time is that we have something much better now: `--rebase-merges`.
That option intends to supersede `--preserve-merges`, and we will
probably deprecate the latter soon.
Once `--preserve-merges` has been deprecated for a good amount of time,
it will be time to remove it, and along with it, its tests.
In preparation for that, let's make the rest of the test cases in
`t3404-rebase-interactive.sh` independent of the test cases dedicated to
`--preserve-merges`.

Each section in a protocol v2 response is followed by either a DELIM
packet (indicating more sections to follow) or a FLUSH packet
(indicating none to follow). But when parsing the "acknowledgments"
section, do_fetch_pack_v2() is liberal in accepting both, but determines
whether to continue reading or not based solely on the contents of the
"acknowledgments" section, not on whether DELIM or FLUSH was read.
There is no issue with a protocol-compliant server, but can result in
confusing error messages when communicating with a server that
serves unexpected additional sections. Consider a server that sends
"new-section" after "acknowledgments":
- client writes request
- client reads the "acknowledgments" section which contains no "ready",
then DELIM
- since there was no "ready", client needs to continue negotiation, and
writes request
- client reads "new-section", and reports to the end user "expected
'acknowledgments', received 'new-section'"
For the person debugging the involved Git implementation(s), the error
message is confusing in that "new-section" was not received in response
to the latest request, but to the first one.
One solution is to always continue reading after DELIM, but in this
case, we can do better. We know from the protocol that "ready" means at
least the packfile section is coming (hence, DELIM) and that no "ready"
means that no sections are to follow (hence, FLUSH). So teach
process_acks() to enforce this.

Use the new function added in the last commit to read the author
script, updating read_env_script() and read_author_ident(). We now
have a single code path that reads the author script for am and all
flavors of rebase. This changes the behavior of read_env_script() as
previously it would set any environment variables that were in the
author-script file. Now it is an error if the file contains other
variables or any of GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE are missing. This is what am and the non interactive
version of rebase have been doing for several years so hopefully it
will not cause a problem for interactive rebase users. The advantage
is that we are reusing existing code from am which uses sq_dequote()
to properly dequote variables. This fixes potential problems with user
edited scripts as read_env_script() which did not track quotes
properly.
This commit also removes the fallback code for checking for a broken
author script after git is upgraded when a rebase is stopped. Now that
the parsing uses sq_dequote() it will reliably return an error if the
quoting is broken and the user will have to abort the rebase and
restart. This isn't ideal but it's a corner case and the detection of
the broken quoting could be confused by user edited author scripts.

When the .gitmodules file is not available in the working tree, try
using the content from the index and from the current branch. This
covers the case when the file is part of the repository but for some
reason it is not checked out, for example because of a sparse checkout.
This makes it possible to use at least the 'git submodule' commands
which *read* the gitmodules configuration file without fully populating
the working tree.
Writing to .gitmodules will still require that the file is checked out,
so check for that before calling config_set_in_gitmodules_file_gently.
Add a similar check also in git-submodule.sh::cmd_add() to anticipate
the eventual failure of the "git submodule add" command when .gitmodules
is not safely writeable; this prevents the command from leaving the
repository in a spurious state (e.g. the submodule repository was cloned
but .gitmodules was not updated because
config_set_in_gitmodules_file_gently failed).
Moreover, since config_from_gitmodules() now accesses the global object
store, it is necessary to protect all code paths which call the function
against concurrent access to the global object store. Currently this
only happens in builtin/grep.c::grep_submodules(), so call
grep_read_lock() before invoking code involving
config_from_gitmodules().
Finally, add t7418-submodule-sparse-gitmodules.sh to verify that reading
from .gitmodules succeeds and that writing to it fails when the file is
not checked out.
NOTE: there is one rare case where this new feature does not work
properly yet: nested submodules without .gitmodules in their working
tree. This has been documented with a warning and a test_expect_failure
item in t7814, and in this case the current behavior is not altered: no
