6f054f9fb3 (builtin/clone.c: disallow --local clones with
symlinks, 2022-07-28) gives a good error message when "git clone
--local" fails when the repo to clone has symlinks in
"$GIT_DIR/objects". In bffc762f87 (dir-iterator: prevent top-level
symlinks without FOLLOW_SYMLINKS, 2023-01-24), we later extended this
restriction to the case where "$GIT_DIR/objects" is itself a symlink,
but we didn't update the error message then - bffc762f87's tests show
that we print a generic "failed to start iterator over" message.
This is exacerbated by the fact that Documentation/git-clone.txt
mentions neither restriction, so users are left wondering if this is
intentional behavior or not.
Fix this by adding a check to builtin/clone.c: when doing a local clone,
perform an extra check to see if "$GIT_DIR/objects" is a symlink, and if
so, assume that that was the reason for the failure and report the
relevant information. Ideally, dir_iterator_begin() would tell us that
the real failure reason is the presence of the symlink, but (as far as I
can tell) there isn't an appropriate errno value for that.
Also, update Documentation/git-clone.txt to reflect that this
restriction exists.

Test 'loosely defined local base branch is reported correctly' in
t2024-checkout-dwim.sh, which was introduced in [1] compares output of
two invocations of "git checkout", invoked with two different branches
named "strict" and "loose". As per description in [1], the test is
validating that output of tracking information for these two branches.
This tracking information is printed to standard output:
Your branch is behind 'main' by 1 commit, and can be fast-forwarded.
(use "git pull" to update your local branch)
The test assumes that the names of the two branches (strict and loose)
are in that output, and pipes the output through sed to replace names of
the branches with "BRANCHNAME". Command "git checkout", however,
outputs the branch name to standard error, not standard output -- see
message "Switched to branch '%s'\n" in function "update_refs_for_switch"
in "builtin/checkout.c". This means that the two invocations of sed do
nothing.
Redirect both the standard output and the standard error of "git
checkout" for these assertions. Ensure that compared files have the
string "BRANCHNAME".
In a series of piped commands, only the return code of the last command
is used. Thus, all other commands will have their return codes masked.
Avoid piping of output of git directly into sed to preserve the exit
status code of "git checkout", while we're here.

commit added a new test, the first part of which (as noted in the old

Also remove a test t3418 that has been redundant since the merge backend
was removed in 68aa495b59 (rebase: implement --merge via the interactive

To store the strategy options rebase prepends " --" to each one and
writes them to a file. To load them it reads the file and passes the
contents to split_cmdline(). This roughly mimics the behavior of the
scripted rebase but has a couple of limitations, (1) options containing
whitespace are not properly preserved (this is true of the scripted
rebase as well) and (2) options containing '"' or '\' are incorrectly
parsed and may cause the parser to return an error.
Fix these limitations by quoting each option when they are stored so
that they can be parsed correctly. Now that "--preserve-merges" no
longer exist this change also stops prepending "--" to the options when
they are stored as that was an artifact of the scripted rebase.
These changes are backwards compatible so the files written by an older
version of git can still be read. They are also forwards compatible,
the file can still be parsed by recent versions of git as they treat the
"--" prefix as optional.

When handling "--strategy-option" rebase collects the commands into a
struct string_list, then concatenates them into a string, prepending "--"
to each one before splitting the string and removing the "--" prefix.
This is an artifact of the scripted rebase and the need to support
"rebase --preserve-merges". Now that "--preserve-merges" no-longer
exists we can cleanup the way the argument is handled.
The tests for a bad strategy option are adjusted now that
parse_strategy_opts() is no-longer called when starting a rebase. The
fact that it only errors out when running "git rebase --continue" is a
mixed blessing but the next commit will fix the root cause of the
parsing problem so lets not worry about that here.

The sequencer stores the merge strategy options in an array of strings
which allocated with ALLOC_GROW(). Using "struct strvec" avoids manually
managing the memory of that array and simplifies the code.
Aside from memory allocation the changes to the sequencer are largely
mechanical, changing xopts_nr to xopts.nr and xopts[i] to xopts.v[i]. A
new option parsing macro OPT_STRVEC() is also added to collect the
strategy options. Hopefully this can be used to simplify the code in
builtin/merge.c in the future.
Note that there is a change of behavior to "git cherry-pick" and "git
revert" as passing “--no-strategy-option” will now clear any previous
strategy options whereas before this change it did nothing.

The state files for "--strategy" and "--strategy-option" are written and
read twice, once by builtin/rebase.c and then by sequencer.c. This is an
artifact of the scripted rebase and the need to support "rebase
--preserve-merges". Now that "--preserve-merges" no-longer exists we
only need to read and write these files in sequencer.c. This enables us
to remove a call to free() in read_strategy_opts() that was added by
f1f4ebf432 (sequencer.c: fix "opts->strategy" leak in
read_strategy_opts(), 2022-11-08) as this commit fixes the root cause of
that leak.
There is further scope for removing duplication in the reading and
writing of state files between builtin/rebase.c and sequencer.c but that
is left for a follow up series.

Since 1819ad327b (grep: fix multibyte regex handling under macOS,
2022-08-26) we use the system library for all regular expression
matching on macOS, not just for git grep. It supports multi-byte
strings and rejects invalid multi-byte characters.
This broke all built-in userdiff word regexes in UTF-8 locales because
they all include such invalid bytes in expressions that are intended to
match multi-byte characters without explicit support for that from the
regex engine.
"|[^[:space:]]|[\xc0-\xff][\x80-\xbf]+" is added to all built-in word
regexes to match a single non-space or multi-byte character. The \xNN
characters are invalid if interpreted as UTF-8 because they have their
high bit set, which indicates they are part of a multi-byte character,
but they are surrounded by single-byte characters.
Replace that expression with "|[^[:space:]]" if the regex engine
supports multi-byte matching, as there is no need to have an explicit
range for multi-byte characters then. Check for that capability at
runtime, because it depends on the locale and thus on environment
variables. Construct the full replacement expression at build time
and just switch it in if necessary to avoid string manipulation and
allocations at runtime.
Additionally the word regex for tex contains the expression
"[a-zA-Z0-9\x80-\xff]+" with a similarly invalid range. The best
replacement with only valid characters that I can come up with is
"([a-zA-Z0-9]|[^\x01-\x7f])+". Unlike the original it matches NUL
characters, though. Assuming that tex files usually don't contain NUL
this should be acceptable.
