d16dc428b4 switch: allow to switch in the middle of bisect
In c45f0f525d (switch: reject if some operation is in progress,
2019-03-29), a check is added to prevent switching when some operation
is in progress. The reason is it's often not safe to do so.

This is true for merge, am, rebase, cherry-pick and revert, but not so
much for bisect because bisecting is basically jumping/switching between
a bunch of commits to pin point the first bad one. git-bisect suggests
the next commit to test, but it's not wrong for the user to test a
different commit because git-bisect cannot have the knowledge to know
better.

For this reason, allow to switch when bisecting (*). I considered if we
should still prevent switching by default and allow it with
--ignore-in-progress. But I don't think the prevention really adds
anything much.

If the user switches away by mistake, since we print the previous HEAD
value, even if they don't know about the "-" shortcut, switching back is
still possible.

The warning will be printed on every switch while bisect is still
ongoing, not the first time you switch away from bisect's suggested
commit, so it could become a bit annoying.

(*) of course when it's safe to do so, i.e. no loss of local changes and
stuff.

80f537f79c doc: promote "git restore"
The new command "git restore" (together with "git switch") are added
to avoid the confusion of one-command-do-all "git checkout" for new
users. They are also helpful to avoid ambiguous context.

For these reasons, promote it everywhere possible. This includes
documentation, suggestions/advice from other commands.

One nice thing about git-restore is the ability to restore
"everything", so it can be used in "git status" advice instead of both
"git checkout" and "git reset".  The three commands suggested by "git
status" are add, rm and restore.

"git checkout" is also removed from "git help" (i.e. it's no longer
considered a commonly used command)

a5e5f399ca restore: replace --force with --ignore-unmerged
Use a more specific option name to express its purpose. --force may come
back as an alias of --ignore-unmerged and possibly more. But since this
is a destructive operation, I don't see why we need to "force" anything
more. We already don't hold back.

When 'checkout --force' or 'restore --ignore-unmerged' is used, we may
also print warnings about unmerged entries being ignore. Since this is
not exactly warning (people tell us to do so), more informational, let
it be suppressed if --quiet is given. This is a behavior change for
git-checkout.

PS. The diff looks a bit iffy since --force is moved to
add_common_switch_branch_options() (i.e. for switching). But
git-checkout is also doing switching and inherits this --force.

3a733ce523 restore: default to --source=HEAD when only --staged is specified
"git restore --staged" without --source does not make much sense since
by default we restore from the index.  Instead of copying the index to
itself, set the default source to HEAD in this case, yielding behavior
that matches "git reset -- <paths>".

e3ddd3b5e5 restore: reject invalid combinations with --staged
git-checkout rejects plenty of invalid option combinations. Since
git-checkout is equivalent of either

    git restore --source --staged --worktree

or

    git restore --worktree

that still leaves the new mode 'git restore --index' unprotected. Reject
some more invalid option combinations.

The other new mode 'restore --source --worktree' does not need anything
else.

183fb44fd2 restore: add --worktree and --staged
'git checkout <tree-ish> <pathspec>' updates both index and
worktree. But updating the index when you want to restore worktree
files is non-intuitive. The index contains the data ready for the next
commit, and there's no indication that the user will want to commit
the restored versions.

'git restore' therefore by default only touches worktree. The user has
the option to update either the index with

    git restore --staged --source=<tree> <path>  (1)

or update both with

    git restore --staged --worktree --source=<tree> <path> (2)

PS. Orignally I wanted to make worktree update default and form (1)
would add index update while also updating the worktree, and the user
would need to do "--staged --no-worktree" to update index only. But it
looks really confusing that "--staged" option alone updates both. So
now form (2) is used for both, which reads much more obvious.

PPS. Yes form (1) overlaps with "git reset <rev> <path>". I don't know
if we can ever turn "git reset" back to "_always_ reset HEAD and
optionally do something else".

Overlay mode is considered confusing when the command is about
restoring files on worktree. Disable it by default. The user can still

be8ed5022b restore: make pathspec mandatory
"git restore" without arguments does not make much sense when
it's about restoring files (what files now?). We could default to
either

    git restore .

or

    git restore :/

Neither is intuitive. Make the user always give pathspec, force the
user to think the scope of restore they want because this is a
destructive operation.

"git restore -p" without pathspec is an exception to this
because it really is a separate mode. It will be treated as running
patch mode on the whole worktree.

c9c935f6d4 restore: take tree-ish from --source option instead
This is another departure from 'git checkout' syntax, which uses -- to
separate ref and pathspec. The observation is restore (or "git
checkout -- <pathspec>") is most often used to restore some files from
the index. If this is correct, we can simplify it by taking away the
ref, so that we can write

    git restore some-file

without worrying about some-file being a ref and whether we need to do

    git restore -- some-file

for safety. If the source of the restore comes from a tree, it will be
in the form of an option with value, e.g.

    git restore --source=this-tree some-file

This is of course longer to type than using "--". But hopefully it
will not be used as often, and it is clearly easier to understand.

dwim_new_local_branch is no longer set (or unset) in cmd_restore_files()
because it's irrelevant because we don't really care about dwim-ing.
With accept_ref being unset, dwim can't happen.

46e91b663b checkout: split part of it to new command 'restore'
Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a
new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking
out paths path.

Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the
command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to
match the man page.

A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>':

- 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more
  when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both
  worktree and index).

- 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command
  overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'.

- both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time
  (from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This
  overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>'

- default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and
  HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as
  with --source (*).

- when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be
  specified since the default source for these two individual targets
  are different (**)

- --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the
  source, restoring means deleting the entry

(*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think
  --from is a better name. The short option -f however is already
  taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to
  write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD.

(**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from
  the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it
  through when they type the commands.

1806c29f2e switch: make --orphan switch to an empty tree
Switching and creating branches always involves knowing the
<start-point> to begin the new branch from. Sometimes, people want to
create a new branch that does not have any commits yet; --orphan is a
flag to allow that.

--orphan overrides the default of HEAD for <start-point> instead causing
us to start from an empty history with all tracked files removed from
the index and working tree. The use of --orphan is incompatible with
specifying a <start-point>.

A note on the implementation. An alternative is just create a dummy
commit in-core with empty tree and switch to it. But there's a chance
the commit's SHA-1 may end up somewhere permanent like reflog. It's best
to make sure "commit" pointer is NULL to avoid it.

c45f0f525d switch: reject if some operation is in progress
Unless you know what you're doing, switching to another branch to do
something then switching back could be confusing. Worse, you may even
forget that you're in the middle of something. By the time you realize,
you may have done a ton of work and it gets harder to go back.

A new option --ignore-in-progress was considered but dropped because it
was not exactly clear what should happen. Sometimes you can switch away
and get back safely and resume the operation. Sometimes not. And the
git-checkout behavior is automatically clear merge/revert/cherry-pick,
which makes it a bit even more confusing [1].

We may revisit and add this option in the future. But for now play it
safe and not allow it (you can't even skip this check with --force). The
user is suggested to cancel the operation by themselves (and hopefully
they do consider the consequences, not blindly type the command), or to
create a separate worktree instead of switching. The third option is
the good old "git checkout", but it's not mentioned.

65f099b398 switch: no worktree status unless real branch switch happens
When we switch from one branch to another, it makes sense to show a
summary of local changes since there could be conflicts, or some files
left modified.... When switch is used solely for creating a new
branch (and "switch" to the same commit) or detaching, we don't really
need to show anything.

"git checkout" does it anyway for historical reasons. But we can start
with a clean slate with switch and don't have to.

This essentially reverts fa655d8411 (checkout: optimize "git checkout
-b <new_branch>" - 2018-08-16) and make it default for switch,
but also for -B and --detach. Users of big repos are encouraged to
move to switch.

ccb111b342 switch: implicit dwim, use --no-guess to disable it
This is already the default in git-checkout. The real change in here is
just minor cleanup. The main excuse is to explain why dwim is kept default.

Contrary to detach mode that is easy to get into and confusing to get
back out. Automatically creating a tracking branch often does not kick
in as often (you would need a branch of the same name on a remote). And
since the branch creation is reported clearly, the user should be able
to undo/delete it if it's unwanted.

"git checkout" automatically detaches branches and --detach is not
that useful (--no-detach is more likely). But for "switch", you
may want to use it more often once you're used to detached HEAD. This
of course adds -d to git-checkout but it does not harm (yet?) to do it.

7968bef06b switch: only allow explicit detached HEAD
"git checkout <commit>" will checkout the commit in question and
detach HEAD from the current branch. It is naturally a right thing to
do once you get git references. But detached HEAD is a scary concept
to new users because we show a lot of warnings and stuff, and it could
be hard to get out of (until you know better).

To keep switch a bit more friendly to new users, we only allow
entering detached HEAD mode when --detach is given. "git
switch" must take a branch (unless you create a new branch,
then of course switch can take any commit-ish)

not exactly great: it switches from HEAD to HEAD and shows worktree

- really switch a branch

- create a new branch

d787d311db checkout: split part of it to new command 'switch'
"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many
users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the
command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good
old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most
of users) are sick of it.

See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual
implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout"
and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will
adjust their behavior to match the man page.

f4a4b9aca3 checkout: inform the user when removing branch state
After a successful switch, if a merge, cherry-pick or revert is ongoing,
it is canceled. This behavior has been with us from the very early
beginning, soon after git-merge was created but never actually
documented [1]. It may be a good idea to be transparent and tell the
user if some operation is canceled.

I consider this a better way of telling the user than just adding a
sentence or two in git-checkout.txt, which will be mostly ignored
anyway.

PS. Originally I wanted to print more details like

    warning: cancelling an in-progress merge from <SHA-1>

which may allow some level of undo if the user wants to. But that seems
a lot more work. Perhaps it can be improved later if people still want
that.

[1] ... and I will try not to argue whether it is a sensible behavior.
There is some more discussion here if people are interested:

287ab28bfa diff: reuse diff setup for --no-index case
When "--no-index" is in effect (or implied by the arguments), git-diff
jumps early to a special code path to perform that diff. This means we
miss out on some settings like enabling --ext-diff and --textconv by
default.

Let's jump to the no-index path _after_ we've done more setup on
rev.diffopt. Since some of the options don't affect us (e.g., items
related to the index), let's re-order the setup into two blocks (see the
in-code comments).

Note that we also need to stop re-initializing the diffopt struct in
diff_no_index(). This should not be necessary, as it will already have
been initialized by cmd_diff() (and there are no other callers). That in
turn lets us drop the "repository" argument from diff_no_index (which
never made much sense, since the whole point is that you don't need a
repository).

ae417807b0 trace2:data: pack-objects: add trace2 regions
When studying the performance of 'git push' we would like to know
how much time is spent at various parts of the command. One area
that could cause performance trouble is 'git pack-objects'.

Add trace2 regions around the three main actions taken in this
command:

1. Enumerate objects.
2. Prepare pack.
3. Write pack-file.

ee4512ed48 trace2: create new combined trace facility
Create a new unified tracing facility for git.  The eventual intent is to
replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a
unified set of git_trace2* routines.

In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level
event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written.
This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools.

Trace2 defines 3 output targets.  These are set using the environment
variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT".  These may be
set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE).

* GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command
  summary data.

* GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE.
  It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread,
  repo, absolute and relative elapsed times.  It reports events for
  child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function
  nesting.

* GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a
  series of JSON records.

Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled
without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance*
routines.

9903623761 receive-pack: fix use-after-free bug
The resolve_ref_unsafe() function can, and sometimes will in the case
of this codepath, return the char * passed to it to the caller. In
this case we construct a strbuf, free it, and then continue using the
dst_name after that free().

The code being fixed dates back to da3efdb17b ("receive-pack: detect
aliased updates which can occur with symrefs", 2010-04-19). When it
was originally added it didn't have this bug, it was introduced when
it was subsequently modified to use strbuf in 6b01ecfe22 ("ref
namespaces: Support remote repositories via upload-pack and
receive-pack", 2011-07-08).

This is theoretically a security issue, the C standard makes no
guarantees that a value you use after free() hasn't been poked at or
changed by something else on the system, but in practice modern OSs
will have mapped the relevant page to this process, so nothing else
would have used it. We do no further allocations between the free()
and use-after-free, so we ourselves didn't corrupt or change the
value.

Jeff investigated that and found: "It probably would be an issue if
the allocation were larger. glibc at least will use mmap()/munmap()
after some cutoff[1], in which case we'd get a segfault from hitting
the unmapped page. But for small allocations, it just bumps brk() and
the memory is still available for further allocations after
free(). [...] If you had a sufficiently large refname you might be
able to trigger the bug [...]. I tried to push such a ref. I had to
manually make a packed-refs file with the long name to avoid
filesystem limits (though probably you could have a long a/b/c/ name
on ext4).  But the result can't actually be pushed, because it all has
to fit into a 64k pkt-line as part of the push protocol.".

An a alternative and more succinct way of implementing this would have
been to do the strbuf_release() at the end of check_aliased_update()
and use "goto out" instead of the early "return" statements. Hopefully
this approach of using a helper instead makes it easier to follow.

1. Jeff: "Weirdly, the mmap() cutoff on my glibc system is 135168
   bytes. Which is...2^17 + 2^12? 33 pages? I'm sure there's a good
   reason for that, but I didn't dig into it."
