5f29433f1c cache.h: expose the dying procedure for reading gitlinks
In a later patch we want to react to only a subset of errors, defaulting
the rest to die as usual. Separate the block that takes care of dying
into its own function so we have easy access to it.

40d9632514 setup: add gentle version of resolve_git_dir
This follows a93bedada (setup: add gentle version of read_gitfile,
2015-06-09), and assumes the same reasoning. resolve_git_dir is unsuited
for speculative calls, so we want to use the gentle version to find out
about potential errors.

a2b22854bd fsck: lazily load types under --connectivity-only
The recent fixes to "fsck --connectivity-only" load all of
the objects with their correct types. This keeps the
connectivity-only code path close to the regular one, but it
also introduces some unnecessary inefficiency. While getting
the type of an object is cheap compared to actually opening
and parsing the object (as the non-connectivity-only case
would do), it's still not free.

For reachable non-blob objects, we end up having to parse
them later anyway (to see what they point to), making our
type lookup here redundant.

For unreachable objects, we might never hit them at all in
the reachability traversal, making the lookup completely
wasted. And in some cases, we might have quite a few
unreachable objects (e.g., when alternates are used for
shared object storage between repositories, it's normal for
there to be objects reachable from other repositories but
not the one running fsck).

The comment in mark_object_for_connectivity() claims two
benefits to getting the type up front:

  1. We need to know the types during fsck_walk(). (And not
     explicitly mentioned, but we also need them when
     printing the types of broken or dangling commits).

     We can address this by lazy-loading the types as
     necessary. Most objects never need this lazy-load at
     all, because they fall into one of these categories:

       a. Reachable from our tips, and are coerced into the
	  correct type as we traverse (e.g., a parent link
	  will call lookup_commit(), which converts OBJ_NONE
	  to OBJ_COMMIT).

       b. Unreachable, but not at the tip of a chunk of
          unreachable history. We only mention the tips as
	  "dangling", so an unreachable commit which links
	  to hundreds of other objects needs only report the
	  type of the tip commit.

  2. It serves as a cross-check that the coercion in (1a) is
     correct (i.e., we'll complain about a parent link that
     points to a blob). But we get most of this for free
     already, because right after coercing, we'll parse any
     non-blob objects. So we'd notice then if we expected a
     commit and got a blob.

     The one exception is when we expect a blob, in which
     case we never actually read the object contents.

     So this is a slight weakening, but given that the whole
     point of --connectivity-only is to sacrifice some data
     integrity checks for speed, this seems like an
     acceptable tradeoff.

Here are before and after timings for an extreme case with
~5M reachable objects and another ~12M unreachable (it's the
torvalds/linux repository on GitHub, connected to shared
storage for all of the other kernel forks):

  [before]
  $ time git fsck --no-dangling --connectivity-only
  real	3m4.323s
  user	1m25.121s
  sys	1m38.710s

  [after]
  $ time git fsck --no-dangling --connectivity-only
  real	0m51.497s
  user	0m49.575s
  sys	0m1.776s

97ca7ca8ba fsck: move typename() printing to its own function
When an object has a problem, we mention its type. But we do
so by feeding the result of typename() directly to
fprintf(). This is potentially dangerous because typename()
can return NULL for some type values (like OBJ_NONE).

It's doubtful that this can be triggered in practice with
the current code, so this is probably not fixing a bug. But
it future-proofs us against modifications that make things
like OBJ_NONE more likely (and gives future patches a
central point to handle them).

3d415425c7 unpack-trees: support super-prefix option
In the future we want to support working tree operations within submodules,
e.g. "git checkout --recurse-submodules", which will update the submodule
to the commit as recorded in its superproject. In the submodule the
unpack-tree operation is carried out as usual, but the reporting to the
user needs to prefix any path with the superproject. The mechanism for
this is the super-prefix. (see 74866d757, git: make super-prefix option)

Add support for the super-prefix option for commands that unpack trees
by wrapping any path output in unpacking trees in the newly introduced
super_prefixed function. This new function prefixes any path with the
super-prefix if there is one.  Assuming the submodule case doesn't happen
in the majority of the cases, we'd want to have a fast behavior for no
super prefix, i.e. no reallocation/copying, but just returning path.

Another aspect of introducing the `super_prefixed` function is to consider
who owns the memory and if this is the right place where the path gets
modified. As the super prefix ought to change the output behavior only and
not the actual unpack tree part, it is fine to be that late in the line.
As we get passed in 'const char *path', we cannot change the path itself,
which means in case of a super prefix we have to copy over the path.
We need two static buffers in that function as the error messages
contain at most two paths.

For testing purposes enable it in read-tree, which has no output
of paths other than an unpack-trees.c. These are all converted in
this patch.

c20d4d702f t1450: use "mv -f" within loose object directory
The loose objects are created with mode 0444. That doesn't
prevent them being overwritten by rename(), but some
versions of "mv" will be extra careful and prompt the user,
even without "-i".

Reportedly macOS does this, at least in the Travis builds.
The prompt reads from /dev/null, defaulting to "no", and the
object isn't moved. Then to make matters even more
interesting, it still returns "0" and the rest of the test
proceeds, but with a broken setup.

We can work around it by using "mv -f" to override the
prompt. This should work as it's already used in t5504 for
the same purpose.

Even with standard terminal, if your background color is neither black

ec7c51bc6b show-ref: accept HEAD with --verify

code path which did not handle HEAD and treated it as an invalid
ref. Thus, "git show-ref --verify HEAD" (where "--verify" is used

did not work as expected.

Instead of insisting that the input begins with "refs/", allow "HEAD"
as well in the codepath that handles "--verify", so that all valid
full refnames including HEAD are passed to the same output machinery.

5ebd9472a4 string-list: use QSORT_S in string_list_sort()
Pass the comparison function to cmp_items() via the context parameter of
qsort_s() instead of using a global variable.  That allows calling
string_list_sort() from multiple parallel threads.

Our qsort_s() in compat/ is slightly slower than qsort(1) from glibc
2.24 for sorting lots of lines:

Test                         HEAD^             HEAD
---------------------------------------------------------------------
0071.2: sort(1)              0.10(0.22+0.01)   0.09(0.21+0.00) -10.0%
0071.3: string_list_sort()   0.16(0.15+0.01)   0.17(0.15+0.00) +6.3%

GNU sort(1) version 8.26 is significantly faster because it uses
multiple parallel threads; with the unportable option --parallel=1 it
becomes slower:

Test                         HEAD^             HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------
0071.2: sort(1)              0.21(0.18+0.01)   0.20(0.18+0.01) -4.8%
0071.3: string_list_sort()   0.16(0.13+0.02)   0.17(0.15+0.01) +6.3%

There is some instability -- the numbers for the sort(1) check shouldn't
be affected by this patch.  Anyway, the performance of our qsort_s()
implementation is apparently good enough, at least for this test.

95e5efc6dc Documentation: add XSLT to fix DocBook for Texinfo
There are two ways to create a section in a reference document (i.e.,
manpage) in DocBook 4: refsection elements and refsect, refsect2, and
refsect3 elements.  Either form is acceptable as of DocBook 4.2, but
they cannot be mixed.  Prior to DocBook 4.2, only the numbered forms
were acceptable.

docbook2texi only accepts the numbered forms, and this has not generally
been a problem, since AsciiDoc produces the numbered forms.
Asciidoctor, on the other hand, uses a shared backend for DocBook 4 and
5, and uses the unnumbered refsection elements instead.

If we don't convert the unnumbered form to the numbered form,
docbook2texi omits section headings, which is undesirable.  Add an XSLT
stylesheet to transform the unnumbered forms to the numbered forms
automatically, and preprocess the DocBook XML as part of the
transformation to Texinfo format.

Note that this transformation is only necessary for Texinfo, since
docbook2texi provides its own stylesheets.  The DocBook stylesheets,
which we use for other formats, provide the full range of DocBook 4 and
5 compatibility, and don't have this issue.

f7bf8feaf5 Documentation: fix warning in cat-texi.perl
Newer versions of Perl produce the warning "Unescaped left brace in
regex is deprecated, passed through in regex" when an unescaped left
brace occurs in a regex.  Escape the brace to avoid this warning.

672f51cb83 travis-ci: fix Perforce install on macOS
The `perforce` and `perforce-server` package were moved from brew [1][2]
to cask [3]. Teach TravisCI the new location.

Perforce updates their binaries without version bumps. That made the
brew install (legitimately!) fail due to checksum mismatches. The
workaround is not necessary anymore as Cask [4] allows to disable the
checksum test for individual formulas.

c9a98ddc26 contrib: remove git-convert-objects
git-convert-objects, originally named git-convert-cache was used in
early 2005 to convert ancient repositories where objects are named
after the hash of their compressed contents to the current object
naming sheme where they are named after the hash of their pre-compression
contents.

By now the need for conversion of the very early repositories is
less relevant, we no longer need to keep it in contrib; remove it.

e459b073fb remote rename: more carefully determine whether a remote is configured
One of the really nice features of the ~/.gitconfig file is that users
can override defaults by their own preferred settings for all of their
repositories.

One such default that some users like to override is whether the
"origin" remote gets auto-pruned or not. The user would simply call

	git config --global remote.origin.prune true

and from now on all "origin" remotes would be pruned automatically when
fetching into the local repository.

There is just one catch: now Git thinks that the "origin" remote is
configured, even if the repository config has no [remote "origin"]
section at all, as it does not realize that the "prune" setting was
configured globally and that there really is no "origin" remote
configured in this repository.

That is a problem e.g. when renaming a remote to a new name, when Git
may be fooled into thinking that there is already a remote of that new
name.

Let's fix this by paying more attention to *where* the remote settings
came from: if they are configured in the local repository config, we
must not overwrite them. If they were configured elsewhere, we cannot
overwrite them to begin with, as we only write the repository config.

There is only one caller of remote_is_configured() (in `git fetch`) that
may want to take remotes into account even if they were configured
outside the repository config; all other callers essentially try to
prevent the Git command from overwriting settings in the repository
config.

To accommodate that fact, the remote_is_configured() function now
requires a parameter that states whether the caller is interested in all
remotes, or only in those that were configured in the repository config.

Many thanks to Jeff King whose tireless review helped with settling for
nothing less than the current strategy.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/888

af5bacf471 remote rename: demonstrate a bogus "remote exists" bug
Some users like to set `remote.origin.prune = true` in their ~/.gitconfig
so that all of their repositories use that default.

However, our code is ill-prepared for this, mistaking that single entry to
mean that there is already a remote of the name "origin", even if there is
not.

This patch adds a test case demonstrating this issue.

03831ef7b5 difftool: implement the functionality in the builtin
This patch gives life to the skeleton added in the previous patch.

The motivation for converting the difftool is that Perl scripts are not at
all native on Windows, and that `git difftool` therefore is pretty slow on
that platform, when there is no good reason for it to be slow.

In addition, Perl does not really have access to Git's internals. That
means that any script will always have to jump through unnecessary
hoops, and it will often need to perform unnecessary work (e.g. when
reading the entire config every time `git config` is called to query a
single config value).

The current version of the builtin difftool does not, however, make full
use of the internals but instead chooses to spawn a couple of Git
processes, still, to make for an easier conversion. There remains a lot
of room for improvement, left later.

Note: to play it safe, the original difftool is still called unless the
config setting difftool.useBuiltin is set to true.

The reason: this new, experimental, builtin difftool was shipped as part
of Git for Windows v2.11.0, to allow for easier large-scale testing, but
of course as an opt-in feature.

The speedup is actually more noticable on Linux than on Windows: a quick
test shows that t7800-difftool.sh runs in (2.183s/0.052s/0.108s)
(real/user/sys) in a Linux VM, down from  (6.529s/3.112s/0.644s), while on
Windows, it is (36.064s/2.730s/7.194s), down from (47.637s/2.407s/6.863s).
The culprit is most likely the overhead incurred from *still* having to
shell out to mergetool-lib.sh and difftool--helper.sh.

Still, it is an improvement.

830c912a0e documentation: retire unfinished documentation
When looking for documentation for a specific function, you may be tempted
to run

  git -C Documentation grep index_name_pos

only to find the file technical/api-in-core-index.txt, which doesn't
help for understanding the given function. It would be better to not find
these functions in the documentation, such that people directly dive into
the code instead.

In the previous patches we have documented
* index_name_pos()
* remove_index_entry_at()
* add_[file_]to_index()
in cache.h

We already have documentation for:
* add_index_entry()
* read_index()

Which leaves us with a TODO for:
* cache -> the_index macros
* refresh_index()
* discard_index()
* ie_match_stat() and ie_modified(); how they are different and when to
  use which.
* write_index() that was renamed to write_locked_index
* cache_tree_invalidate_path()
* cache_tree_update()
