In t0021.15 one of the things we are checking is that the clean filter
is run when checking out empty-branch. The clean filter needs to be
run to make sure there are no modifications on the file system for the
test.r file, and thus it isn't dangerous to overwrite it.
However in the current test setup it is not always necessary to run
the clean filter, and thus the test sometimes fails, as debug.log
isn't written.
This happens when test.r has an older mtime than the index itself.
That mtime is also recorded as stat data for test.r in the index, and
based on the heuristic we're using for index entries, git correctly
assumes this file is up-to-date.
Usually this test succeeds because the mtime of test.r is the same as
the mtime of the index. In this case test.r is racily clean, so git
actually checks the contents, for which the clean filter is run.
Fix the test by updating the mtime of test.r, so git is forced to
check the contents of the file, and the clean filter is run as the
test expects.

The Linux kernel receives many patches to the devicetree files each
release. The hunk header for those patches typically show nothing,
making it difficult to figure out what node is being modified without
applying the patch or opening the file and seeking to the context. Let's
add a builtin 'dts' pattern to git so that users can get better diff
output on dts files when they use the diff=dts driver.
The regex has been constructed based on the spec at devicetree.org[1]
and with some help from Johannes Sixt.

With rename detection enabled the line-level log is able to trace the
evolution of line ranges across whole-file renames [1]. Alas, to
achieve that it uses the diff machinery very inefficiently, making the
operation very slow [2]. And since rename detection is enabled by
default, the line-level log is very slow by default.
When the line-level log processes a commit with rename detection
enabled, it currently does the following (see queue_diffs()):
1. Computes a full tree diff between the commit and (one of) its
parent(s), i.e. invokes diff_tree_oid() with an empty
'diffopt->pathspec'.
2. Checks whether any paths in the line ranges were modified.
3. Checks whether any modified paths in the line ranges are missing
in the parent commit's tree.
4. If there is such a missing path, then calls diffcore_std() to
figure out whether the path was indeed renamed based on the
previously computed full tree diff.
5. Continues doing stuff that are unrelated to the slowness.
So basically the line-level log computes a full tree diff for each
commit-parent pair in step (1) to be used for rename detection in step
(4) in the off chance that an interesting path is missing from the
parent.
Avoid these expensive and mostly unnecessary full tree diffs by
limiting the diffs to paths in the line ranges. This is much cheaper,
and makes step (2) unnecessary. If it turns out that an interesting
path is missing from the parent, then fall back and compute a full
tree diff, so the rename detection will still work.
Care must be taken when to update the pathspec used to limit the diff
in case of renames. A path might be renamed on one branch and
modified on several parallel running branches, and while processing
commits on these branches the line-level log might have to alternate
between looking at a path's new and old name. However, at any one
time there is only a single 'diffopt->pathspec'.
So add a step (0) to the above to ensure that the paths in the
pathspec match the paths in the line ranges associated with the
currently processed commit, and re-parse the pathspec from the paths
in the line ranges if they differ.
The new test cases include a specially crafted piece of history with
two merged branches and two files, where each branch modifies both
files, renames on of them, and then modifies both again. Then two
separate 'git log -L' invocations check the line-level log of each of
those two files, which ensures that at least one of those invocations
have to do that back-and-forth between the file's old and new name (no
matter which branch is traversed first). 't/t4211-line-log.sh'
already contains two tests involving renames, they don't don't trigger
this back-and-forth.
Avoiding these unnecessary full tree diffs can have huge impact on
performance, especially in big repositories with big trees and mergy
history. Tracing the evolution of a function through the whole
history:
# git.git
$ time git --no-pager log -L:read_alternate_refs:sha1-file.c v2.23.0
Before:

sys 0m0.157s
That's just over 88x speedup.
[1] Line-level log's rename following is quite similar to 'git log
--follow path', with the notable differences that it does handle
multiple paths at once as well, and that it doesn't show the
commit performing the rename if it's an exact rename.
[2] This slowness might not have been apparent initially, because back
when the line-level log feature was introduced rename detection
was not yet enabled by default; 12da1d1f6f (Implement line-history
search (git log -L), 2013-03-28) and 5404c116aa (diff: activate

The second '*' in the '--*=*' pattern of the inner 'case' statement of

trailing space to the listed options and when not. When an option
requires a stuck argument, i.e. '--option=', then the trailing space
should not be added, so the user can continue typing the required
argument right away. That '--*=*' pattern is supposed to match these
options, but for this purpose that second '*' is unnecessary, a '--*='
pattern works just as well. That second '*' would only make a
difference in case of a possible completion word like

The number of configuration variables listed by the completion script
grew quite when we started to auto-generate it from the documentation
[1], so we now complete them in two steps: first we list only the
section names, then the rest [2]. To get the section names we simply
strip everything following the first dot in each variable name,
resulting in a lot of repeated section names, because most sections
contain more than one configuration variable. This is not a
correctness issue in practice, because Bash's completion facilities
remove all repetitions anyway, but these repetitions make testing a
bit harder.
Replace the small 'sed' script removing subsections and variable names
with an 'awk' script that does the same, and in addition removes any
repeated configuration sections as well (by first creating and filling
an associative array indexed by all encountered configuration
sections, and then iterating over this array and printing the indices,
i.e. the unique section names). This change makes the failing 'git
config - section' test in 't9902-completion.sh' pass.
Note that this changes the order of section names in the output, and
makes it downright undeterministic, but this is not an issue, because
Bash sorts them before presenting them to the user, and our completion
tests sort them as well before comparing with the expected output.
Yeah, it would be simpler and shorter to just append '| sort -u' to
that command, but that would incur the overhead of one more external
process and pipeline stage every time a user completes configuration
sections.

The next patches will change/refactor the way we complete
configuration variable names and values, so add a few tests to cover
the basics, namely the completion of matching configuration sections,
full variable names, and their values.
Note that the test checking the completion of configuration sections
is currently failing, though it's not a sign of an actual bug. If a
section contains multiple variables, then that section is currently
repeated as many times as the number of variables in there. This is
not a correctness issue in practice, because Bash's completion
facilities remove all repetitions anyway. Consequently, we could list
all those repeated sections in the expected output of this test as
well, but then it would have to be updated whenever a new
configuration variable is added to those sections. Instead, list each
matching configuration section only once, mark the test as failing for
now, and the next patch will update the completion script to avoid
those repetitions.

Most 'color.*' configuration variables, with the sole exception of
'color.pager', accept the same set of values, but our completion
script recognizes only about half of them. We could explicitly add
all those missing variables, but let's try to reduce future
maintenance burden, and use the catch-all 'color.*' pattern instead,
so this list won't get out of sync when a similar new configuration
variable accepting the same values is introduced [1].
Furthermore, their documentation explicitly mentions that they all
accept the standard boolean values 'false' and 'true' as well, so list
these, too, among the possible values.
[1] OTOH, there will be a maintenance burden if ever a new
'color.something' is introduced which doesn't accept the same set
of values. We'll see which one happens first...
