Don't redundantly run "git reflog expire --all" when gc.reflogExpire
and gc.reflogExpireUnreachable are set to "never", and die immediately
if those configuration valuer are bad.
As an earlier "assert lack of early exit" change to the tests for "git
reflog expire" shows, an early check of gc.reflogExpire{Unreachable,}
isn't wanted in general for "git reflog expire", but it makes sense
for "gc" because:
1) Similarly to 8ab5aa4bd8 ("parseopt: handle malformed --expire
arguments more nicely", 2018-04-21) we'll now die early if the
config variables are set to invalid values.
We run "pack-refs" before "reflog expire", which can take a while,
only to then die on an invalid gc.reflogExpire{Unreachable,}
configuration.
2) Not invoking the command at all means it won't show up in trace
output, which makes what's going on more obvious when the two are
set to "never".
3) As a later change documents we lock the refs when looping over the
refs to expire, even in cases where we end up doing nothing due to
this config.
For the reasons noted in the earlier "assert lack of early exit"
change I don't think it's worth it to bend over backwards in "git
reflog expire" itself to carefully detect if we'll really do
nothing given the combination of all its possible options and skip
that locking, but that's easy to detect here in "gc" where we'll
only run "reflog expire" in a relatively simple mode.

Change "commit-graph verify" to error on open() failures other than
ENOENT. As noted in the third paragraph of 283e68c72f ("commit-graph:
add 'verify' subcommand", 2018-06-27) and the test it added it's
intentional that "commit-graph verify" doesn't error out when the file
doesn't exist.
But let's not be overly promiscuous in what we accept. If we can't
read the file for other reasons, e.g. permission errors, bad file
descriptor etc. we'd like to report an error to the user.

An earlier change implemented load_commit_graph_one_fd_st() in a way
that was bug-compatible with earlier code in terms of the "graph file
%s is too small" error message printing out the path to the
commit-graph (".git/objects/info/commit-graph").
But change that, because:
* A function that takes an already-open file descriptor also needing
the filename isn't very intuitive.
* The vast majority of errors we might emit when loading the graph
come from parse_commit_graph(), which doesn't report the
filename. Let's not do that either in this case for consistency.

Make the commit-graph loading code work as a library that returns an
error code instead of calling exit(1) when the commit-graph is
corrupt. This means that e.g. "status" will now report commit-graph
corruption as an "error: [...]" at the top of its output, but then
proceed to work normally.
This required splitting up the load_commit_graph_one() function so
that the code that deals with open()-ing and stat()-ing the graph can
now be called independently as open_commit_graph().
This is needed because "commit-graph verify" where the graph doesn't
exist isn't an error. See the third paragraph in
283e68c72f ("commit-graph: add 'verify' subcommand",
2018-06-27). There's a bug in that logic where we conflate the
intended ENOENT with other errno values (e.g. EACCES), but this change
doesn't address that. That'll be addressed in a follow-up change.
I'm then splitting most of the logic out of load_commit_graph_one()
into load_commit_graph_one_fd_st(), which allows for providing an
existing file descriptor and stat information to the loading
code. This isn't strictly needed, but it would be redundant and
confusing to open() and stat() the file twice for some of the
codepaths, this allows for calling open_commit_graph() followed by
load_commit_graph_one_fd_st(). The "graph_file" still needs to be
passed to that function for the the "graph file %s is too small" error
message.
This leaves load_commit_graph_one() unused by everything except the
internal prepare_commit_graph_one() function, so let's mark it as
"static". If someone needs it in the future we can remove the "static"
attribute. I could also rewrite its sole remaining
user ("prepare_commit_graph_one()") to use
load_commit_graph_one_fd_st() instead, but let's leave it at this.

Notice the last 'read-tree --reset' step. We restore worktree back to
'new' tree after worktree's messed up by merge-recursive. If there are
staged changes before this whole command sequence is executed, they
are lost because they are unlikely part of the 'new' tree to be
restored.
There is no easy way to fix this. Elijah may have something up his
sleeves [1], but until then, check if there are staged changes and
refuse to run and lose them. The user would need to do "git reset" to
continue in this case.
A note about the test update. 'checkout -m' in that test will fail
because a deletion is staged. This 'checkout -m' was previously needed
to verify quietness behavior of unpack-trees. But a different check
has been put in place in the last patch. We can safely drop
'checkout -m' now.

read-tree is basically the front end of unpack-trees code and shoud
expose all of its functionality (unless it's designed for internal
use). This "opts.quiet" (formerly "opts.gently") was added for
builtin/checkout.c but there is no reason why other read-tree users
won't find this useful.
The test that is updated to run 'read-tree --quiet' was added because
unpack-trees was accidentally not being quiet [1] in 6a143aa2b2
(checkout -m: attempt merge when deletion of path was staged -
2014-08-12). Because checkout is the only "opts.quiet" user, there was
no other way to test quiet behavior. But we can now test it directly.
6a143aa2b2 was manually reverted to verify that read-tree --quiet
works correctly (i.e. test_must_be_empty fails).

If you have staged changes in path A and perform 'checkout
--merge' (which could result in conflicts in a totally unrelated path
B), changes in A will be gone. Which is unexpected. We are supposed
to keep all changes, or kick and scream otherwise.
This is the result of how --merge is implemented, from the very first
day in 1be0659efc (checkout: merge local modifications while switching
branches., 2006-01-12):
1. a merge is done, unmerged entries are collected
2. a hard switch to a new branch is done, then unmerged entries added
back
There is no trivial fix for this. Going with 3-way merge one file at a
time loses rename detection. Going with 3-way merge by trees requires
teaching the algorithm to pick up staged changes. And even if we detect
staged changes with --merge and abort for safety, an option to continue
--merge is very weird. Such an option would keep worktree changes, but
drop staged changes.
Because the problem has been with us since the introduction of --merge
and everybody has been pretty happy (except Phillip, who found this
problem), I'll just take a note here to acknowledge it and wait for
merge wizards to come in and work their magic. There may be a way
forward [1].

The "--sort" parameter of for-each-ref, etc, does not handle negation,

As the comment in the callback function notes, this probably should
clear the list, which would make it consistent with other list-like
options (i.e., anything that uses OPT_STRING_LIST currently).
Unfortunately that's a bit tricky due to the way the ref-filter code
works. But in the meantime, let's at least make the error a little less
confusing:
- switch to using PARSE_OPT_NONEG in the option definition, which will
cause the options code to produce a useful message
- since this was cut-and-pasted to four different spots, let's define
a single OPT_REF_SORT() macro that we can use everywhere
- the callback can use BUG_ON_OPT_NEG() to make sure the correct flags
are used (incidentally, this also satisfies -Wunused-parameters,
since we're now looking at "unset")
- expand the comment into a NEEDSWORK to make it clear that the
direction is right, but the details need to be worked out

In the scripted 'git stash show' when no arguments are passed, we just
pass '--stat' to 'git diff'. When any argument is passed to 'stash
show', we no longer pass '--stat' to 'git diff', and pass whatever
flags are passed directly through to 'git diff'.
By default 'git diff' shows the patch output. So when a user uses
'git stash show --patience', they would be shown the diff as expected,
using the patience algorithm. '--patience' in this case only changes
the diff algorithm, but does not cause 'git diff' to show the diff by
itself. The diff is shown because that's the default behaviour of
'git diff'.
In the C version of 'git stash show', we try to emulate that behaviour
using the internal diff API. However we forgot to set up the default
output format, in case it wasn't set by any of the flags that were
passed through. So 'git stash show --patience' in the builtin version
of stash would be completely silent, while it would show the diff in
the scripted version.
The same thing would happen for other flags that only affect the way a
patch is displayed, rather than switching to a different output format
than the default one.
Fix this by setting up the default output format for 'git diff'.

Remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting, which was added as an escape
hatch to disable the builtin version of rebase first released with Git
2.20.
See [1] for the initial implementation of rebase.useBuiltin, and [2]
and [3] for the documentation and corresponding
GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN option.
Carrying the legacy version is a maintenance burden as seen in
7e097e27d3 ("legacy-rebase: backport -C<n> and --whitespace=<option>
checks", 2018-11-20) and 9aea5e9286 ("rebase: fix regression in
rebase.useBuiltin=false test mode", 2019-02-13). Since the built-in
version has been shown to be stable enough let's remove the legacy
version.
As noted in [3] having use_builtin_rebase() shell out to get its
config doesn't make any sense anymore, that was done for the purposes
of spawning the legacy rebase without having modified any global
state. Let's instead handle this case in rebase_config().
There's still a bunch of references to git-legacy-rebase in po/*.po,
but those will be dealt with in time by the i18n effort.
Even though this configuration variable only existed two releases
let's not entirely delete the entry from the docs, but note its
absence. Individual versions of git tend to be around for a while due
to distro packaging timelines, so e.g. if we're "lucky" a given
version like 2.21 might be installed on say OSX for half a decade.
That'll mean some people probably setting this in config, and then
when they later wonder if it's needed they can Google search the
config option name or check it in git-config. It also allows us to
refer to the docs from the warning for details.

There's been a lot of changing of the hardcoded "40" values to
the_hash_algo->hexsz, but we've so far missed this one where we
hardcoded 38 for the loose object file length.
This is because a SHA-1 like abcde[...] gets turned into
objects/ab/cde[...]. There's no reason to suppose the same won't be
the case for SHA-256, and reading between the lines in
hash-function-transition.txt the format is planned to be the same.
In the future we may want to further modify this code for the hash
function transition. There's a potential pathological case here where
we'll only consider the loose objects for the currently active hash,
but objects for that hash will share a directory storage with the
other hash.
Thus we could theoretically have e.g. 1k SHA-1 loose objects, and 1
million SHA-256 objects. Then not notice that we need to pack them
because we're currently using SHA-1, even though our FS may be
straining under the stress of such humongous directories.
So assuming that "gc" eventually learns to pack up both SHA-1 and
SHA-256 objects regardless of what the current the_hash_algo is,
perhaps this check should be changed to consider all files in
objects/17/ matching [0-9a-f] 38 or 62 characters in length (i.e. both
SHA-1 and SHA-256).
But none of that is something we need to worry about now, and
supporting both 38 and 62 characters depending on "the_hash_algo"
removes another case of SHA-1 hardcoding.
As noted in [1] I'm making no effort to somehow remove the hardcoding
for "2" as in "use the first two hexdigits for the directory
name". There's no indication that that'll ever change, and somehow
generalizing it here would be a drop in the ocean, so there's no point
in doing that. It also couldn't be done without coming up with some
generalized version of the magical "objects/17" directory. See [2] for
a discussion of that directory.

As far as this developer can tell, the conversion from a Perl script to
a built-in caused the regression in the difftool that it no longer runs
outside of a Git worktree (with `--no-index`, of course).
It is a bit embarrassing that it took over two years after retiring the
Perl version to discover this regression, but at least we now know, and
can do something, about it.
