Add a INSTALL_SYMLINKS option which if enabled, changes the default
hardlink installation method to one where the relevant binaries in
libexec/git-core are symlinked back to ../../bin, instead of being
hardlinked.
This new option also overrides the behavior of the existing
NO_*_HARDLINKS variables which in some cases would produce symlinks
within to libexec/, e.g. "git-add" symlinked to "git" which would be
copy of the "git" found in bin/, now "git-add" in libexec/ is always
going to be symlinked to the "git" found in the bin/ directory.
This option is being added because:
1) I think it makes what we're doing a lot more obvious. E.g. I'd
never noticed that the libexec binaries were really just hardlinks
since e.g. ls(1) won't show that in any obvious way. You need to
start stat(1)-ing things and look at the inodes to see what's
going on.
2) Some tools have very crappy support for hardlinks, e.g. the Git
shipped with GitLab is much bigger than it should be because
they're using a chef module that doesn't know about hardlinks, see
https://github.com/chef/omnibus/issues/827
I've also ran into other related issues that I think are explained
by this, e.g. compiling git with debugging and rpm refusing to
install a ~200MB git package with 2GB left on the FS, I think that
was because it doesn't consider hardlinks, just the sum of the
byte size of everything in the package.
As for the implementation, the "../../bin" noted above will vary given
some given some values of "../.." and "bin" depending on the depth of
the gitexecdir relative to the destdir, and the "bindir" target,
e.g. setting "bindir=/tmp/git/binaries gitexecdir=foo/bar/baz" will do
the right thing and produce this result:
$ file /tmp/git/foo/bar/baz/git-add
/tmp/git/foo/bar/baz/git-add: symbolic link to ../../../binaries/git

Change the bindir_relative variable to work like the other *_relative
variables, which are computed as a function of the absolute
path. Before this change, supplying e.g. bindir=/tmp/git/binaries to
the Makefile would yield a bindir_relative of just "bin", as opposed
to "binaries".
This logic was originally added back in 026fa0d5ad ("Move computation
of absolute paths from Makefile to runtime (in preparation for
RUNTIME_PREFIX)", 2009-01-18), then later in 971f85388f ("Makefile:
make mandir, htmldir and infodir absolute", 2013-02-24) when
more *_relative variables were added those new variables didn't have
this bug, but bindir_relative was never fixed.
There is a small change in behavior here, which is that setting
bindir_relative as an argument to the Makefile won't work anymore, I
think that's fine, since this was always intended as an internal
variable (e.g. INSTALL documents bindir=*, not bindir_relative=*).

Automatic detection of worktree relocation by a user (via 'mv', for
instance) was removed by 618244e160 (worktree: stop supporting moving
worktrees manually - 2016-01-22). Prior to that,
.git/worktrees/<tag>/gitdir was updated whenever the worktree was
accessed in order to let the pruning logic know that the worktree was
"active" even if it disappeared for a while (due to being located on
removable media, for instance).
"git worktree move" has come so we don't really need this, but since
it's easy to do, perhaps we could keep supporting manual worktree move
a bit longer. Notice that when a worktree is active, the "index" file
should be updated pretty often in common case. The logic is updated to
check for index mtime to see if the worktree is alive.
The old logic of checking gitdir's mtime is dropped because nobody
updates it anyway. The new corner case is, if the index file does not
exist, we immediately remove the stale worktree. But if the "index"
file does not exist, you may have a bigger problem.

This "link" was a feature in early iterations of multiple worktree
functionality for some reason it was dropped [1]. Since nobody creates
this "link", there's no need to check it.
This is mostly used to let the user moves a worktree manually [2]. If
you move a worktree within the same file system, this hard link count
lets us know the worktree is still there even if we don't know where it
is.
We support 'worktree move' now and don't need this anymore.

In order to be able to ship protocol v2 with only supporting fetch, we
need clients to not issue a request to use protocol v2 when pushing
(since the client currently doesn't know how to push using protocol v2).
This allows a client to have protocol v2 configured in
`protocol.version` and take advantage of using v2 for fetch and falling
back to using v0 when pushing while v2 for push is being designed.
We could run into issues if we didn't fall back to protocol v2 when
pushing right now. This is because currently a server will ignore a request to
use v2 when contacting the 'receive-pack' endpoint and fall back to
using v0, but when push v2 is rolled out to servers, the 'receive-pack'
endpoint will start responding using v2. So we don't want to get into a
state where a client is requesting to push with v2 before they actually
know how to push using v2.

Introduce the transport-helper capability 'stateless-connect'. This

the 'stateless-connect' command which should attempt to make a
stateless connection with a remote end. Once established, the
connection can be used by the git client to communicate with
the remote end natively in a stateless-rpc manner as supported by
protocol v2. This means that the client must send everything the server
needs in a single request as the client must not assume any

If a stateless connection cannot be established then the remote-helper
will respond in the same manner as the 'connect' command indicating that

One of the design goals of protocol-v2 is to improve the semantics of
flush packets. Currently in protocol-v1, flush packets are used both to
indicate a break in a list of packet lines as well as an indication that
one side has finished speaking. This makes it particularly difficult
to implement proxies as a proxy would need to completely understand git
protocol instead of simply looking for a flush packet.
To do this, introduce the special deliminator packet '0001'. A delim
packet can then be used as a deliminator between lists of packet lines
while flush packets can be reserved to indicate the end of a response.
Documentation for how this packet will be used in protocol v2 will

The current pkt-line API encodes the status of a pkt-line read in the
length of the read content. An error is indicated with '-1', a flush
with '0' (which can be confusing since a return value of '0' can also
indicate an empty pkt-line), and a positive integer for the length of
the read content otherwise. This doesn't leave much room for allowing
the addition of additional special packets in the future.
To solve this introduce 'packet_read_with_status()' which reads a packet
and returns the status of the read encoded as an 'enum packet_status'
type. This allows for easily identifying between special and normal
packets as well as errors. It also enables easily adding a new special
