When we're pushing a pack and our local pack-objects fails, we enter an
error code path that does a few things:
1. Set the status of every ref to REF_STATUS_NONE
2. Call receive_unpack_status() to try to get an error report from
the other side
3. Return an error to the caller
If pack-objects failed because the connection to the server dropped,
there's not much more we can do than report the hangup. And indeed, step
2 will try to read a packet from the other side, which will die() in the
packet-reading code with "the remote end hung up unexpectedly".
But if the connection _didn't_ die, then the most common issue is that
the remote index-pack or unpack-objects complained about our pack (we
could also have a local pack-objects error, but this ends up being the
same; we'd send an incomplete pack and the remote side would complain).
In that case we do report the error from the other side (because of step
2), but we fail to say anything further about the refs. The issue is
two-fold:
- in step 1, the "NONE" status is not "we saw an error, so we have no
status". It generally means "this ref did not match our refspecs, so
we didn't try to push it". So when we print out the push status
table, we won't mention any refs at all!
But even if we had a status enum for "pack-objects error", we
wouldn't want to blindly set it for every ref. For example, in a
non-atomic push we might have rejected some refs already on the
client side (e.g., REF_STATUS_REJECT_NODELETE) and we'd want to
report that.
- in step 2, we read just the unpack status. But receive-pack will
also tell us about each ref (usually that it rejected them because
of the unpacker error).
So a much better strategy is to leave the ref status fields as they are
(usually EXPECTING_REPORT) and then actually receive (and print) the
full per-ref status.
This case is actually covered in the test suite, as t5504.8, which
writes a pack that will be rejected by the remote unpack-objects. But
it's racy. Because our pack is small, most of the time pack-objects
manages to write the whole thing before the remote rejects it, and so it
returns success and we print out the errors from the remote. But very
occasionally (or when run under --stress) it goes slow enough to see a
failure in writing, and git-push reports nothing for the refs.
With this patch, the test should behave consistently.
There shouldn't be any downside to this approach. If we really did see
the connection drop, we'd already die in receive_unpack_status(), and
we'll continue to do so. If the connection drops _after_ we get the
unpack status but before we see any ref status, we'll still print the
remote unpacker error, but will now say "remote end hung up" instead of
returning the error up the call-stack. But as discussed, we weren't
showing anything more useful than that with the current code. And
anyway, that case is quite unlikely (the connection dropping at that
point would have to be unrelated to the pack-objects error, because of
the ordering of events).
In the future we might want to handle packet-read errors ourself instead
of dying, which would print a full ref status table even for hangups.
But in the meantime, this patch should be a strict improvement.

Inspired by 21416f0a07 ("restore: fix typo in docs", 2019-08-03), I ran
"git grep -E '(\b[a-zA-Z]+) \1\b' -- Documentation/" to find other cases
where words were duplicated, e.g. "the the", and in most cases removed
one of the repeated words.
There were many false positives by this grep command, including
deliberate repeated words like "really really" or valid uses of "that
that" which I left alone, of course.
I also did not correct any of the legitimate, accidentally repeated
words in old RelNotes.

t1410.3 ("corrupt and checks") fails when run using dash versions
before 0.5.8, with a cryptic message:
mv: cannot stat '.git/objects//e84adb2704cbd49549e52169b4043871e13432': No such file or directory
The function generating that path:
test_oid_to_path () {
echo "${1%${1#??}}/${1#??}"
}
which is supposed to produce a result like
12/3456789....
But a dash bug[*] causes it to instead expand to
/3456789...
The stream of symbols that makes up this function is hard for humans
to follow, too. The complexity mostly comes from the repeated use of
the expression ${1#??} for the basename of the loose object. Use a
variable instead --- nowadays, the dialect of shell used by Git
permits local variables, so this is cheap.
An alternative way to work around [*] is to remove the double-quotes
around test_oid_to_path's return value. That makes the expression
easier for dash to read, but harder for humans. Let's prefer the
rephrasing that's helpful for humans, too.
Noticed by building on Ubuntu trusty, which uses dash 0.5.7.
[*] Fixed by v0.5.8~13 ("[EXPAND] Propagate EXP_QPAT in subevalvar, 2013-08-23).

Ever since commit 8c8e5bd6eb ("merge-recursive: switch directory
rename detection default", 2019-04-05), the default handling with
directory rename detection was to report a conflict and leave unstaged
entries in the index. However, when creating a virtual merge base in
the recursive case, we absolutely need a tree, and the only way a tree
can be written is if we have no unstaged entries -- otherwise we hit a
BUG().
There are a few fixes possible here which at least fix the BUG(), but
none of them seem optimal for other reasons; see the comments with the
new testcase 13e in t6043 for details (which testcase triggered a BUG()
prior to this patch). As such, just opt for a very conservative and
simple choice that is still relatively reasonable: have the recursive
case treat 'conflict' as 'false' for opt->detect_directory_renames.

In 1771be90 "commit-graph: merge commit-graph chains" (2019-06-18),
the method sort_and_scan_merged_commits() was added to merge the
commit lists of two commit-graph files in the incremental format.
Unfortunately, there was an off-by-one error in that method around
incrementing num_extra_edges, which leads to an incorrect offset
for the base graph chunk.
When we store an octopus merge in the commit-graph file, we store
the first parent in the normal place, but use the second parent
position to point into the "extra edges" chunk where the remaining
parents exist. This means we should be adding "num_parents - 1"
edges to this list, not "num_parents - 2". That is the basic error.
The reason this was not caught in the test suite is more subtle.
In 5324-split-commit-graph.sh, we test creating an octopus merge
and adding it to the tip of a commit-graph chain, then verify the
result. This _should_ have caught the problem, except that when
we load the commit-graph files we were overly careful to not fail
when the commit-graph chain does not match. This care was on
purpose to avoid race conditions as one process reads the chain
and another process modifies it. In such a case, the reading
process outputs the following message to stderr:
warning: commit-graph chain does not match
These warnings are output in the test suite, but ignored. By
checking the stderr of `git commit-graph verify` to include
the expected progress output, it will now catch this error.

"Can not" suggests one has the option to not do something, whereas
"cannot" more strongly suggests something is disallowed or impossible.
Noticed "can not", mistakenly used instead of "cannot" in git help
glossary, then ran git grep 'can not' and found many other instances.
Only files in the Documentation folder were modified.
'Can not' also occurs in some source code comments and some test
assertion messages, and there is an error message and translation "can
not move directory into itself" which I may fix and submit separately
from the documentation change.
Also noticed and fixed "is does" in git help fetch, but there are no
other occurrences of that typo according to git grep.
