218389b9f3 p5302: count up to online-cpus for thread tests
When PERF_EXTRA is enabled, p5302 checks the performance of index-pack
with various numbers of threads. This can be useful for deciding what
the default should be (which is currently capped at 3 threads based on
the results of this script).

However, we only go up to 8 threads, and modern machines may have more.
Let's get the number of CPUs from test-tool, and test various numbers of
threads between one and that maximum.

Note that the current tests aren't all identical, as we have to set
GIT_FORCE_THREADS for the --threads=1 test (which measures the overhead
of starting a single worker thread versus the "0" case of using the main
thread). To keep the loop simple, we'll keep the "0" case out of it, and
set GIT_FORCE_THREADS=1 for all of the other cases (it's a noop for all
but the "1" case, since numbers higher than 1 would always need
threads).

Note also that we could skip running "test-tool" if PERF_EXTRA isn't
set. However, there's some small value in knowing the number of threads,
so that we can mark each test as skipped in the output.

47274251a4 p5302: disable thread-count parameter tests by default
The primary function of the perf suite is to detect regressions (or
improvements) between versions of Git. The only numbers we show a direct
comparison for are timings between the same test run on two different
versions.

However, it can sometimes be used to collect other information.  For
instance, p5302 runs the same index-pack operation with different thread
counts. The output doesn't directly compare these, but anybody
interested in working on index-pack can manually compare the results.

For a normal regression run of the full perf-suite, though, this incurs
a significant cost to generate numbers nobody will actually look at;
about 25% of the total time of the test suite is spent in p5302. And the
low-thread-count runs are the most expensive part of it, since they're
(unsurprisingly) not using as many threads.

Let's skip these tests by default, but make it possible for people
working on index-pack to still run them by setting an environment
variable. Rather than make this specific to p5302, let's introduce a
generic mechanism. This makes it possible to run the full suite with
every possible test if somebody really wants to burn some CPU.

7303da3002 t7401: use 'short' instead of 'verify' and cut in rev-parse calls
'git rev-parse' can limit the number of characters in the hash it
outputs using the '--short' option, thereby, making the 'cut' invocation
redundant. Since using '--short' implies '--verify' as well, we can
safely replace the latter with the former. This change results in the
helper functions getting the hash in the same way 'summary' gets the
hash internally.

So, avoid the unnecessary invocation to 'cut' in the helper
functions.

"--cached" and "--index" are distinct modes with different behavior.

Additionally, the descriptions of "--index" and "--cached" are somewhat

determine that the index and working copy "match".

1b03df5f1e fetch-pack: in partial clone, pass --promisor
When fetching a pack from a promisor remote, the corresponding .promisor
file needs to be created. "fetch-pack" originally did this by passing
"--promisor" to "index-pack", but in 5374a290aa ("fetch-pack: write
fetched refs to .promisor", 2019-10-16), "fetch-pack" was taught to do
this itself instead, because it needed to store ref information in the
.promisor file.

This causes a problem with superprojects when transfer.fsckobjects is
set, because in the current implementation, it is "index-pack" that
calls fsck_finish() to check the objects; before 5374a290aa,
fsck_finish() would see that .gitmodules is a promisor object and
tolerate it being missing, but after, there is no .promisor file (at the
time of the invocation of fsck_finish() by "index-pack") to tell it that
.gitmodules is a promisor object, so it returns an error.

Therefore, teach "fetch-pack" to pass "--promisor" to index pack once
again. "fetch-pack" will subsequently overwrite this file with the ref
information.

An alternative is to instead move object checking to "fetch-pack", and
let "index-pack" only index the files. However, since "index-pack" has
to inflate objects in order to index them, it seems reasonable to also
let it check the objects (which also require inflated files).

a3894aad67 rebase -i: support --ignore-date
Rebase is implemented with two different backends - 'apply' and
'merge' each of which support a different set of options. In
particular the apply backend supports a number of options implemented
by 'git am' that are not implemented in the merge backend. This means
that the available options are different depending on which backend is
used which is confusing. This patch adds support for the --ignore-date
option to the merge backend. This option uses the current time as the
author date rather than reusing the original author date when
rewriting commits. We take care to handle the combination of
--ignore-date and --committer-date-is-author-date in the same way as
the apply backend.

eceba53214 dir: fix problematic API to avoid memory leaks
The dir structure seemed to have a number of leaks and problems around
it.  First I noticed that parent_hashmap and recursive_hashmap were
being leaked (though Peff noticed and submitted fixes before me).  Then
I noticed in the previous commit that clear_directory() was only taking
responsibility for a subset of fields within dir_struct, despite the
fact that entries[] and ignored[] we allocated internally to dir.c.
That, of course, resulted in many callers either leaking or haphazardly
trying to free these arrays and their contents.

Digging further, I found that despite the pretty clear documentation
near the top of dir.h that folks were supposed to call clear_directory()
when the user no longer needed the dir_struct, there were four callers
that didn't bother doing that at all.  However, two of them clearly
thought about leaks since they had an UNLEAK(dir) directive, which to me
suggests that the method to free the data was too unclear.  I suspect
the non-obviousness of the API and its holes led folks to avoid it,
which then snowballed into further problems with the entries[],
ignored[], parent_hashmap, and recursive_hashmap problems.

Rename clear_directory() to dir_clear() to be more in line with other
data structures in git, and introduce a dir_init() to handle the
suggested memsetting of dir_struct to all zeroes.  I hope that a name
like "dir_clear()" is more clear, and that the presence of dir_init()
will provide a hint to those looking at the code that they need to look
for either a dir_clear() or a dir_free() and lead them to find
dir_clear().

dad4f23ce5 dir: make clear_directory() free all relevant memory
The calling convention for the dir API is supposed to end with a call to
clear_directory() to free up no longer needed memory.  However,
clear_directory() didn't free dir->entries or dir->ignored.  I believe
this was an oversight, but a number of callers noticed memory leaks and
started free'ing these.  Unfortunately, they did so somewhat haphazardly
(sometimes freeing the entries in the arrays, and sometimes only
free'ing the arrays themselves).  This suggests the callers weren't
trying to make sure any possible memory used might be free'd, but just
the memory they noticed their usecase definitely had allocated.

Fix this mess by moving all the duplicated free'ing logic into
clear_directory().  End by resetting dir to a pristine state so it could
be reused if desired.

82a62015a7 patch-id: ignore newline at end of file in diff_flush_patch_id()
Whitespace is ignored when calculating patch IDs.  This is done by
removing all whitespace from diff lines before hashing them, including
a newline at the end of a file.  If that newline is missing, however,
diff reports that fact in a separate line containing "\ No newline at
end of file\n", and this marker is hashed like a context line.

This goes against our goal of making patch IDs independent of
whitespace.  Use the same heuristic that 2485eab55c (git-patch-id: do
not trip over "no newline" markers, 2011-02-17) added to git patch-id
instead and skip diff lines that start with a backslash and a space
and are longer than twelve characters.

887952b8c6 fetch: optionally allow disabling FETCH_HEAD update
If you run fetch but record the result in remote-tracking branches,
and either if you do nothing with the fetched refs (e.g. you are
merely mirroring) or if you always work from the remote-tracking
refs (e.g. you fetch and then merge origin/branchname separately),
you can get away with having no FETCH_HEAD at all.

Teach "git fetch" a command line option "--[no-]write-fetch-head".
The default is to write FETCH_HEAD, and the option is primarily
meant to be used with the "--no-" prefix to override this default,
because there is no matching fetch.writeFetchHEAD configuration
variable to flip the default to off (in which case, the positive
form may become necessary to defeat it).

Note that under "--dry-run" mode, FETCH_HEAD is never written;
otherwise you'd see list of objects in the file that you do not
actually have.  Passing `--write-fetch-head` does not force `git
fetch` to write the file.

44c7e1a7e0 mem-pool: use more standard initialization and finalization
A typical memory type, such as strbuf, hashmap, or string_list can be
stored on the stack or embedded within another structure.  mem_pool
cannot be, because of how mem_pool_init() and mem_pool_discard() are
written.  mem_pool_init() does essentially the following (simplified
for purposes of explanation here):

    void mem_pool_init(struct mem_pool **pool...)
    {
        *pool = xcalloc(1, sizeof(*pool));

It seems weird to require that mem_pools can only be accessed through a
pointer.  It also seems slightly dangerous: unlike strbuf_release() or
strbuf_reset() or string_list_clear(), all of which put the data
structure into a state where it can be re-used after the call,
mem_pool_discard(pool) will leave pool pointing at free'd memory.
read-cache (and split-index) are the only current users of mem_pools,
and they haven't fallen into a use-after-free mistake here, but it seems
likely to be problematic for future users especially since several of
the current callers of mem_pool_init() will only call it when the
mem_pool* is not already allocated (i.e. is NULL).

This type of mechanism also prevents finding synchronization
points where one can free existing memory and then resume more
operations.  It would be natural at such points to run something like
    mem_pool_discard(pool...);
and, if necessary,
    mem_pool_init(&pool...);
and then carry on continuing to use the pool.  However, this fails badly
if several objects had a copy of the value of pool from before these
commands; in such a case, those objects won't get the updated value of
pool that mem_pool_init() overwrites pool with and they'll all instead
be reading and writing from free'd memory.

Modify mem_pool_init()/mem_pool_discard() to behave more like
   strbuf_init()/strbuf_release()
or
   string_list_init()/string_list_clear()
In particular: (1) make mem_pool_init() just take a mem_pool* and have
it only worry about allocating struct mp_blocks, not the struct mem_pool
itself, (2) make mem_pool_discard() free the memory that the pool was
responsible for, but leave it in a state where it can be used to
allocate more memory afterward (without the need to call mem_pool_init()
again).

a762c8c1e1 mem-pool: add convenience functions for strdup and strndup
fast-import had a special mem_pool_strdup() convenience function that I
want to be able to use from the new merge algorithm I am writing.  Move
it from fast-import to mem-pool, and also add a mem_pool_strndup()
while at it that I also want to use.

a555b514cd Merge branch 'so/log-diff-merges-opt'
Earlier, to countermand the implicit "-m" option when the
"--first-parent" option is used with "git log", we added the
"--[no-]diff-merges" option in the jk/log-fp-implies-m topic.  To
leave the door open to allow the "--diff-merges" option to take
values that instructs how patches for merge commits should be
computed (e.g. "cc"? "-p against first parent?"), redefine
"--diff-merges" to take non-optional value, and implement "off"
that means the same thing as "--no-diff-merges".

* so/log-diff-merges-opt:
  t/t4013: add test for --diff-merges=off
  doc/git-log: describe --diff-merges=off
  revision: change "--diff-merges" option to require parameter

eca8c62a50 Merge branch 'jk/log-fp-implies-m'
"git log --first-parent -p" showed patches only for single-parent
commits on the first-parent chain; the "--first-parent" option has
been made to imply "-m".  Use "--no-diff-merges" to restore the
previous behaviour to omit patches for merge commits.

* jk/log-fp-implies-m:
  doc/git-log: clarify handling of merge commit diffs
  doc/git-log: move "-t" into diff-options list
  doc/git-log: drop "-r" diff option
  doc/git-log: move "Diff Formatting" from rev-list-options
  log: enable "-m" automatically with "--first-parent"
  revision: add "--no-diff-merges" option to counteract "-m"
  log: drop "--cc implies -m" logic
