"git worktree add <path>" performs various checks before approving
<path> as a valid location for the new worktree. Aside from ensuring
that <path> does not already exist, one of the questions it asks is
whether <path> is already a registered worktree. To perform this check,
it queries find_worktree() and disallows the "add" operation if
find_worktree() finds a match for <path>. As a convenience, however,
find_worktree() casts an overly wide net to allow users to identify
worktrees by shorthand in order to keep typing to a minimum. For
instance, it performs suffix matching which, given subtrees "foo/bar"
and "foo/baz", can correctly select the latter when asked only for
"baz".
"add" validation knows the exact path it is interrogating, so this sort
of heuristic-based matching is, at best, questionable for this use-case
and, at worst, may may accidentally interpret <path> as matching an
existing worktree and incorrectly report it as already registered even
when it isn't. (In fact, validate_worktree_add() already contains a
special case to avoid accidentally matching against the main worktree,
precisely due to this problem.)
Avoid the problem of potential accidental matching against an existing
worktree by instead taking advantage of find_worktree_by_path() which
matches paths deterministically, without applying any sort of magic
shorthand matching performed by find_worktree().

This test intentionally creates a file which causes rebase to fail, thus
it is important that this file be deleted before subsequent tests are
run which are not expecting such a failure. In the past, the common way
to ensure cleanup (regardless of whether the test succeeded or failed)
was either for the next test to perform the previous test's cleanup as
its first step or to do the cleanup at global scope outside of any
tests. With the introduction of 'test_when_finished', however, tests can
be responsible for their own cleanup. Therefore, update this test to
clean up after itself.
A bit of history: This 'rm' invocation was moved from within the body of
the following test to global scope by bffd750adf (rebase: improve error

The receive.denyCurrentBranch config option controls what happens if
you push to a branch that is checked out into a non-bare repository.
By default, it rejects it. It can be disabled via `ignore` or `warn`.
Another yet trickier option is `updateInstead`.
However, this setting was forgotten when the git worktree command was
introduced: only the main worktree's current branch is respected.
With this change, all worktrees are respected.
That change also leads to revealing another bug,
i.e. `receive.denyCurrentBranch = true` was ignored when pushing into a
non-bare repository's unborn current branch using ref namespaces. As
`is_ref_checked_out()` returns 0 which means `receive-pack` does not get
into conditional statement to switch `deny_current_branch` accordingly
(ignore, warn, refuse, unconfigured, updateInstead).
receive.denyCurrentBranch uses the function `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()`
(called via `resolve_refdup()`) to resolve the symbolic ref HEAD, but
that function fails when HEAD does not point at a valid commit.
As we replace the call to `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` with
`find_shared_symref()`, which has no problem finding the worktree for a
given branch even if it is unborn yet, this bug is fixed at the same
time: receive.denyCurrentBranch now also handles worktrees with unborn
branches as intended even while using ref namespaces.

pushes into an unborn current branch.
In t5509, no operations are performed inside `pushee`, as it is only a
target for `git push` and `git ls-remote` calls. Therefore it does not
need to have a worktree. So, it is safe to change `pushee` to a bare

When using partial clone, find_non_local_tags() in builtin/fetch.c
checks each remote tag to see if its object also exists locally. There
is no expectation that the object exist locally, but this function
nevertheless triggers a lazy fetch if the object does not exist. This
can be extremely expensive when asking for a commit, as we are
completely removed from the context of the non-existent object and
thus supply no "haves" in the request.
6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05) removed a
global variable that prevented these fetches in favor of a bitflag.
However, some object existence checks were not updated to use this flag.
Update find_non_local_tags() to use OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT in
addition to OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. The _QUICK option only prevents
repreparing the pack-file structures. We need to be extremely careful
about supplying _SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT when we expect an object to not exist
due to updated refs.
This resolves a broken test in t5616-partial-clone.sh.

While testing partial clone, I noticed some odd behavior. I was testing
a way of running 'git init', followed by manually configuring the remote
for partial clone, and then running 'git fetch'. Astonishingly, I saw
the 'git fetch' process start asking the server for multiple rounds of
pack-file downloads! When tweaking the situation a little more, I
discovered that I could cause the remote to hang up with an error.
Add two tests that demonstrate these two issues.
In the first test, we find that when fetching with blob filters from
a repository that previously did not have any tags, the 'git fetch
--tags origin' command fails because the server sends "multiple
filter-specs cannot be combined". This only happens when using
protocol v2.
In the second test, we see that a 'git fetch origin' request with
several ref updates results in multiple pack-file downloads. This must
be due to Git trying to fault-in the objects pointed by the refs. What
makes this matter particularly nasty is that this goes through the
do_oid_object_info_extended() method, so there are no "haves" in the
negotiation. This leads the remote to send every reachable commit and
tree from each new ref, providing a quadratic amount of data transfer!
This test is fixed if we revert 6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove
fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05), but that revert causes other test
failures. The real fix will need more care.
The tests are ordered in this way because if I swap the test order the
tag test will succeed instead of fail. I believe this is because somehow
we need the srv.bare repo to not have any tags when we clone, but then
have tags in our next fetch.

In 9e6d3e64 (sparse-checkout: detect short patterns, 2020-01-24), a
condition on the minimum length of a cone-mode pattern was introduced.
However, this condition was off-by-one.
If we have a directory with a single character, say "b", then the
command
git sparse-checkout set b
will correctly add the pattern "/b/" to the sparse-checkout file. When
this is interpeted in dir.c, the pattern is "/b" with the
PATTERN_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR flag. This string has length two, which satisfies
our inclusive inequality (<= 2).
The reason for this inequality is that we will start to read the pattern
string character-by-character using three char pointers: prev, cur,
next. In particular, next is set to the current pattern plus two. The
mistake was that next will still be a valid pointer when the pattern
length is two, since the string is null-terminated.
Make this inequality strict so these patterns work.

In some cases, a user will want to use a specific credential helper for
a wildcard pattern, such as https://*.corp.example.com. We have code
that handles this already with the urlmatch code, so let's use that
instead of our custom code.
Since the urlmatch code is a superset of our current matching in terms
of capabilities, there shouldn't be any cases of things that matched
previously that don't match now. However, in addition to wildcard
matching, we now use partial path matching, which can cause slightly
different behavior in the case that a helper applies to the prefix
(considering path components) of the remote URL. While different, this
is probably the behavior people were wanting anyway.
Since we're using the urlmatch code, we need to encode the components
we've gotten into a URL to match, so add a function to percent-encode
data and format the URL with it. We now also no longer need to the
custom code to match URLs, so let's remove it.
Additionally, the urlmatch code always looks for the best match, whereas
we want all matches for credential helpers to preserve existing
behavior. Let's add an optional field, select_fn, that lets us control
which items we want (in this case, all of them) and default it to the
best-match code that already exists for other users.

Everywhere else in the codebase, we use the rule that the last matching
configuration option is the one that takes effect. This is helpful
because it allows more specific configuration settings (e.g., per-repo
configuration) to override less specific settings (e.g., per-user
configuration).
However, in the credential code, we didn't honor this setting, and
instead picked the first setting we had, and stuck with it. This was
likely to ensure we picked the value from the URL, which we want to
honor over the configuration.
It's possible to do both, though, so let's check if the value is the one
we've gotten over our protocol connection, which if present will have
come from the URL, and keep it if so. Otherwise, let's overwrite the
value with the latest version we've got from the configuration, so we
keep the last configuration value.

There are some tricky cases in our credential helpers that we don't have
test cases for. To help prevent regressions, let's add some for these
cases:
* If there are multiple configured credential helpers, one without a
path and one with a path, we want to invoke both of them.
* If there are percent-encoded values in the URL, we handle them
properly.
* And finally, if there is a username in the remote URL, we want to
honor that over what the configuration tells us.
Finally, there's an additional case that we'd like to test for as well,
but that currently fails. In all other situations in our configuration,
we pick the last configuration setting that's provided. However, we
fail to do that for credential.username, where we pick the first setting
instead. Let's add a failing test that we have the consistent behavior
here, since that's the documented, expected behavior.

A user discovered a case where they had a stack of 20 simple commits to
rebase, and the rebase would succeed in picking the first commit and
then error out with a pair of "Could not execute the todo command" and
"Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by
merge" messages.
Their steps actually made use of the -i flag, but I switched it over to
-m to make it simpler to trigger the bug. With that flag, it bisects
back to commit 68aa495b59 (rebase: implement --merge via the
interactive machinery, 2018-12-11), but that's misleading. If you
change the -m flag to --keep-empty, then the problem persists and will

After playing with the testcase for a bit, I discovered that added
--exec "sleep 1" to the command line makes the rebase succeed, making me
suspect there is some kind of discard and reloading of caches that lead
us to believe that something is stat dirty, but I didn't succeed in

check-ignore has two different modes, and neither of these modes has an
implementation that matches the documentation. These modes differ in
whether they just print paths or whether they also print the final
pattern matched by the path. The fix is different for both modes, so
I'll discuss both separately.
=== First (default) mode ===
The first mode is documented as:
For each pathname given via the command-line or from a file via
--stdin, check whether the file is excluded by .gitignore (or other
input files to the exclude mechanism) and output the path if it is
excluded.
However, it fails to do this because it did not account for negated
patterns. Commands other than check-ignore verify exclusion rules via
calling
... -> treat_one_path() -> is_excluded() -> last_matching_pattern()
while check-ignore has a call path of the form:
... -> check_ignore() -> last_matching_pattern()
The fact that the latter does not include the call to is_excluded()
means that it is susceptible to to messing up negated patterns (since
that is the only significant thing is_excluded() adds over
last_matching_pattern()). Unfortunately, we can't make it just call
is_excluded(), because the same codepath is used by the verbose mode
which needs to know the matched pattern in question. This brings us
to...
=== Second (verbose) mode ===
The second mode, known as verbose mode, references the first in the
documentation and says:
Also output details about the matching pattern (if any) for each
given pathname. For precedence rules within and between exclude
sources, see gitignore(5).
The "Also" means it will print patterns that match the exclude rules as
noted for the first mode, and also print which pattern matches. Unless
more information is printed than just pathname and pattern (which is not
done), this definition is somewhat ill-defined and perhaps even
self-contradictory for negated patterns: A path which matches a negated
exclude pattern is NOT excluded and thus shouldn't be printed by the
former logic, while it certainly does match one of the explicit patterns
and thus should be printed by the latter logic.
=== Resolution ==
Since the second mode exists to find out which pattern matches given
paths, and showing the user a pattern that begins with a '!' is
sufficient for them to figure out whether the pattern is excluded, the
existing behavior is desirable -- we just need to update the
documentation to match the implementation (i.e. it is about printing
which pattern is matched by paths, not about showing which paths are
excluded).
For the first or default mode, users just want to know whether a pattern
is excluded. As such, the existing documentation is desirable; change
the implementation to match the documented behavior.
Finally, also adjust a few tests in t0008 that were caught up by this
discrepancy in how negated paths were handled.

Two related changes, with separate rationale for each:
Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because:
* 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used
for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used
in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones
given that we are making it the default.
* 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is.
* the directory where state is stored is not called
.git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge.
Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because:
* Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point.
* Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the
documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read
it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large
burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very
careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces
annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems.
* Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a
backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the
alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user
tries to explain to another what they are doing.
* While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am
is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools
for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too.
* The directory where state is stored has never been called
.git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply.
For all the reasons listed above:
* Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names
* Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names
to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere
(e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation)
* Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply
* Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new
backend names for us as well.

In order to ensure the merge/interactive backend gets similar coverage
to the am one, add some tests for cases where previously only the am
backend was tested.

We have many rebase tests in the testsuite, and often the same test is
repeated multiple times just testing different backends. For those
tests that were specifically trying to test the am backend, add the --am
flag.

A large variety of rebase types are supported by the interactive
machinery, not just the explicitly interactive ones. These all share
the same code and write the same reflog messages, but the "-i" moniker
in those messages doesn't really have much meaning. It also becomes
somewhat distracting once we switch the default from the am-backend to
the interactive one. Just remove the "-i" from these messages.
