The contents of the .gitattributes files may evolve over time, but "git
check-attr" always checks attributes against them in the working tree
and/or in the index. It may be beneficial to optionally allow the users
to check attributes taken from a commit other than HEAD against paths.
Add a new flag `--source` which will allow users to check the
attributes against a commit (actually any tree-ish would do). When the
user uses this flag, we go through the stack of .gitattributes files but
instead of checking the current working tree and/or in the index, we
check the blobs from the provided tree-ish object. This allows the
command to also be used in bare repositories.
Since we use a tree-ish object, the user can pass "--source
HEAD:subdirectory" and all the attributes will be looked up as if
subdirectory was the root directory of the repository.
We cannot simply use the `<rev>:<path>` syntax without the `--source`
flag, similar to how it is used in `git show` because any non-flag
parameter before `--` is treated as an attribute and any parameter after
`--` is treated as a pathname.
The change involves creating a new function `read_attr_from_blob`, which
given the path reads the blob for the path against the provided source and
parses the attributes line by line. This function is plugged into
`read_attr()` function wherein we go through the stack of attributes
files.

There is some setup code which is used by multiple tests being setup in
`attribute test: --all option`. This means when we run "sh

So to ensure that setups are independent of test logic, move this to a

As noted in [1] the code that made it in as part of
9c4d58ff2c (ls-tree: split up "fast path" callbacks, 2022-03-23) was
a "maybe a good idea, maybe not" RFC-quality patch. I hadn't looked
very carefully at the resulting patterns.
The implementation shared the "struct show_tree_data data", which was
introduced in e81517155e (ls-tree: introduce struct "show_tree_data",
2022-03-23) both for use in 455923e0a1 (ls-tree: introduce "--format"
option, 2022-03-23), and because the "fat" callback hadn't been split
up as 9c4d58ff2c did.
Now that that's been done we can see that most of what
show_tree_common() was doing could be done lazily by the callbacks
themselves, who in the pre-image were often using an odd mis-match of
their own arguments and those same arguments stuck into the "data"
structure. Let's also have the callers initialize the "type", rather
than grabbing it from the "data" structure afterwards.

As per the code comment, the `.git/head-name` files were cleaned up for
backwards-compatibility: an old version of `git bisect` could have left
them behind.
Now, just how old would such a version be? As of 0f497e75f0 (Eliminate
confusing "won't bisect on seeked tree" failure, 2008-02-23), `git
bisect` does not write that file anymore. Which corresponds to Git
v1.5.4.4.
Even if the likelihood is non-nil that there might still be users out
there who use such an old version to start a bisection, but then decide
to continue bisecting with a current Git version, it is highly
improbable.
So let's remove that code, at long last.

Once upon a time, there was this idea that Git would not actually be a
single coherent program, but rather a set of low-level programs that
users cobble together via shell scripts, or develop high-level user
interfaces for Git, or both.
Cogito was such a high-level user interface, incidentally implemented
via shell scripts that cobble together Git calls.
It did turn out relatively quickly that Git would much rather provide a
useful high-level user interface itself.
As of April 19th, 2007, Cogito was therefore discontinued (see
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20070419124648.GL4489@pasky.or.cz/).
Nevertheless, for almost 15 years after that announcement, Git carried
special code in `git bisect` to accommodate Cogito.
Since it is beyond doubt that there are no more Cogito users, let's
remove the last remnant of Cogito-accommodating code.

the part that prints out an error message when the implicit `git bisect

`bisect--helper` was changed to the present `bisect-state') the error

Most tests in t7527-builtin-fsmonitor.sh that start a daemon, use the
helper function test_when_finished with stop_daemon_delete_repo.
Function stop_daemon_delete_repo explicitly stops the daemon. Calling
it via test_when_finished is needed for tests that don't check daemon's
automatic shutdown logic [1] and it is needed to avoid daemons being
left running in case of breakage of the logic of automatic shutdown of
the daemon.
Unlike these tests, test 'case insensitive+preserving' added in [2] has
a call to function test_when_finished commented out. It was commented
out in all versions of the patch [2] during development [3]. This seems
to not be intentional, because neither commit message in [2], nor the
comment above the test mention this line being commented out. Compare
it, for example, to "# unicode_debug=true" which is explicitly described
by a documentation comment above it.
Uncomment test_when_finished for stop_daemon_delete_repo in test 'case
insensitive+preserving' to ensure that daemons are not left running in
cases when automatic shutdown logic of daemon itself is broken.

Much like the file selection options we tweaked in the last commit, the
status tags printed with -t had descriptions that were easy to
misunderstand, and for many of the same reasons. Clarify them.
Also, while at it, remove the "semi-deprecated" comment for "git
ls-files -t". The -t option was marked as semi-deprecated in 5bc0e247c4
("Document ls-files -t as semi-obsolete.", 2010-07-28) because:
"git ls-files -t" is [...] badly documented, hence we point the
users to superior alternatives.
The feature is marked as "semi-obsolete" but not "scheduled for removal"
since it's a plumbing command, scripts might use it, and Git testsuite
already uses it to test the state of the index.
Marking it as obsolete because it was easily misunderstood, which I
think was primarily due to documentation problems, is one strategy, but
I think fixing the documentation is a better option. Especially since
in the intervening time, "git ls-files -t" has become heavily used by
sparse-checkout users where the same confusion just doesn't apply.

The previous descriptions of the file selection options were very easy
to misunderstand. For example:
* "Show cached files in the output"
This could be interpreted as meaning "show files which have been
modified and git-add'ed, i.e. files which have cached changes
relative to HEAD".
* "Show deleted files"
This could be interpreted as meaning "for each `git rm $FILE` we
ran, show me $FILE"
* "Show modified files"
This could be interpreted as meaning "show files which have been
modified and git-add'ed" or as "show me files that differ from HEAD"
or as "show me undeleted files different from HEAD" (given that
--deleted is a separate option), none of which are correct.
Further, it's not very clear when some options only modify and/or
override other options, as was the case with --ignored, --directory, and
--unmerged (I've seen folks confused by each of them on the mailing
list, sometimes even fellow git developers.)
Tweak these definitions, and the one for --killed, to try to make them
all a bit more clear. Finally, also clarify early on that duplicate
reports for paths are often expected (both when (a) there are multiple
entries for the file in the index -- i.e. when there are conflicts, and
also (b) when the user specifies options that might pick the same file
multiple times, such as `git ls-files --cached --deleted --modified`
when there is a file with an unstaged deletion).

The interop test library sets up wrappers "git.a" and "git.b" to
represent the two versions to be tested. It also wraps vanilla "git" to
report an error, with the goal of catching tests which accidentally fail
to use one of the version-specific wrappers (which could invalidate the
tests in a very subtle way).
But when it catches an invocation of vanilla git, it doesn't give any
details, which makes it very hard to debug exactly which invocation is
responsible (especially if it's buried in a function invocation, etc).

When mentioning 'ORIG_HEAD', be explicit about which command write that
pseudo-ref, namely 'git am', 'git merge', 'git rebase' and 'git reset'.

The fact that 'git merge' writes 'ORIG_HEAD' before performing the merge
is missing from the documentation of the command.
Mention it in the 'Description' section.

The fact that 'git reset' writes 'ORIG_HEAD' before changing HEAD is
mentioned in an example, but is missing from the 'Description' section.
Mention it in the discussion of the "'git reset' [<mode>] [<commit>]"
form of the command.

Commit 67ac1e1d57 (cherry-pick/revert: add support for
-X/--strategy-option, 2010-12-10) added an example to the documentation
of 'git cherry-pick'. This example mentions how to abort a failed
cherry-pick and retry with an additional merge strategy option.
The command used in the example to abort the cherry-pick is 'git reset
--merge ORIG_HEAD', but cherry-pick does not write 'ORIG_HEAD' before
starting its operation. So this command would checkout a commit
unrelated to what was at HEAD when the user invoked cherry-pick.
Use 'git cherry-pick --abort' instead.

Add a semantic patch for replace ALLOC_ARRAY+COPY_ARRAY with DUP_ARRAY
to reduce code duplication and apply its results.

Add a macro for allocating and populating a shallow copy of an array.
It is intended to replace a sequence like this:
ALLOC_ARRAY(dst, n);
COPY_ARRAY(dst, src, n);
With the less repetitve:
DUP_ARRAY(dst, src, n);
It checks whether the types of source and destination are compatible to
ensure the copy can be used safely.
An easier alternative would be to only consider the source and return
a void pointer, that could be used like this:
dst = ARRAY_DUP(src, n);
That would be more versatile, as it could be used in declarations as
well. Making it type-safe would require the use of typeof_unqual from
C23, though.
So use the safe and compatible variant for now.

Use __builtin_types_compatible_p to perform a full type check if
possible. Otherwise fall back to the old size comparison, but add a
non-evaluated assignment to catch more type mismatches. It doesn't flag
copies between arrays with different signedness, but that's as close to
a full type check as it gets without the builtin, as far as I can see.

Move the common basic element type check of COPY_ARRAY and MOVE_ARRAY to
a new macro. This reduces code duplication and simplifies adding more
elaborate checks.

Prepare for a stricter type check in COPY_ARRAY by removing the const
qualifier of argv2, like we already do to placate Visual Studio. We
have to add it back using explicit casts when actually using the
variable, unfortunately, because GCC (rightly) refuses to add it
implicitly. Similar casts are already used in mingw_execv().

CI updates. We probably want a clean-up to move the long shell
script embedded in yaml file into a separate file, but that can
come later.
* cw/ci-whitespace:
ci (check-whitespace): move to actions/checkout@v3
ci (check-whitespace): add links to job output
ci (check-whitespace): suggest fixes for errors
Use `git diff --no-index` as a test_cmp on Windows.
We'd probably need to revisit "do we really want to, and have to,
lose CRLF vs LF?" later, at which time we may be able to further
clean this up by replacing "git diff --no-index" with "diff -u".
* js/drop-mingw-test-cmp:
tests(mingw): avoid very slow `mingw_test_cmp`
