When cloning a repository with an unborn HEAD, we'll set the local HEAD
to match it only if the local repository is non-bare. This is
inconsistent with all other combinations:
remote HEAD | local repo | local HEAD
-----------------------------------------------
points to commit | non-bare | same as remote
points to commit | bare | same as remote
unborn | non-bare | same as remote
unborn | bare | local default
So I don't think this is some clever or subtle behavior, but just a bug
in 4f37d45706 (clone: respect remote unborn HEAD, 2021-02-05). And it's
easy to see how we ended up there. Before that commit, the code to set
up the HEAD for an empty repo was guarded by "if (!option_bare)". That's
because the only thing it did was call install_branch_config(), and we
don't want to do so for a bare repository (unborn HEAD or not).
That commit put the handling of unborn HEADs into the same block, since
those also need to call install_branch_config(). But the unborn case has
an additional side effect of calling create_symref(), and we want that
to happen whether we are bare or not.
This patch just pulls all of the "figure out the default branch" code
out of the "!option_bare" block. Only the actual config installation is
kept there.
Note that this does mean we might allocate "ref" and not use it (if the
remote is empty but did not advertise an unborn HEAD). But that's not
really a big deal since this isn't a hot code path, and it keeps the
code simple. The alternative would be handling unborn_head_target
separately, but that gets confusing since its memory ownership is
tangled up with the "ref" variable.
There's just one new test, for the case we're fixing. The other ones in
the table are handled elsewhere (the unborn non-bare case just above,
and the actually-born cases in t5601, t5606, and t5609, as they do not
require v2's "unborn" protocol extension).

b8ba412bf7 (tree-diff: avoid alloca for large allocations, 2016-06-07)
adds a way to route some bigger allocations out of the stack and free
them through the addition of two conveniently named macros, but leaves
the calls to free the xalloca part, which could be also in the heap,
if the system doesn't HAVE_ALLOCA_H (ex: macOS and other BSD).
Add the missing free call, xalloca_free(), which is a noop if we
allocated memory in the stack frame, but a real free() if we
allocated in the heap instead, and while at it, change the expression
to match in both macros for ease of readability.
This avoids a leak reported by LSAN while running t0000 but that

t1400.190 sometimes fails or even hangs because of the way it uses
fifos. Our goal is to interactively read and write lines from
update-ref, so we have two fifos, in and out. We open a descriptor
connected to "in" and redirect output to that, so that update-ref does
not see EOF as it would if we opened and closed it for each "echo" call.
But we don't do the same for the output. This leads to a race where our
"read response <out" has not yet opened the fifo, but update-ref tries
to write to it and gets SIGPIPE. This can result in the test failing, or
worse, hanging as we wait forever for somebody to write to the pipe.
This is the same proble we fixed in 4783e7ea83 (t0008: avoid SIGPIPE
race condition on fifo, 2013-07-12), and we can fix it the same way, by
opening a second long-running descriptor.
Before this patch, running:
./t1400-update-ref.sh --run=1,190 --stress
failed or hung within a few dozen iterations. After it, I ran it for

While 'git version' is probably the least complex git command,
it is a non-experimental user-facing builtin command. As such
it should have a help page.
Both `git help` and `git version` can be called as options
(`--help`/`--version`) that internally get converted to the
corresponding command. Add a small paragraph to
Documentation/git.txt describing how these two options

If a user deletes a file and places a directory of untracked files
there, then stashes all these changes, the untracked directory of files
cannot be restored until after the corresponding file in the way is
removed. So, restore changes to tracked files before restoring
untracked files.
There is no counterpart problem to worry about with the user deleting an
untracked file and then add a tracked one in its place. Git does not
track untracked files, and so will not know the untracked file was
deleted, and thus won't be able to stash the removal of that file.

When a file is removed from the cache, but there is a file of the same
name present in the working directory, we would normally treat that file
in the working directory as untracked. However, in the case of stash,
doing that would prevent a simple 'git stash push', because the untracked
file would be in the way of restoring the deleted file.
git stash, however, blindly assumes that whatever is in the working
directory for a deleted file is wanted and passes that path along to
update-index. That causes problems when the working directory contains
a directory with the same name as the deleted file. Add some code for
this special case that will avoid passing directory names to
update-index.

In preceding commits the race of renaming .idx files in place before
.rev files and other auxiliary files was fixed in pack-write.c's
finish_tmp_packfile(), builtin/repack.c's "struct exts", and
builtin/index-pack.c's final(). As noted in the change to pack-write.c
we left in place the issue of writing *.bitmap files after the *.idx,
let's fix that issue.
See 7cc8f97108 (pack-objects: implement bitmap writing, 2013-12-21)
for commentary at the time when *.bitmap was implemented about how
those files are written out, nothing in that commit contradicts what's
being done here.
Note that this commit and preceding ones only close any race condition
with *.idx files being written before their auxiliary files if we're
optimistic about our lack of fsync()-ing in this are not tripping us
over. See the thread at [1] for a rabbit hole of various discussions
about filesystem races in the face of doing and not doing fsync() (and
if doing fsync(), not doing it properly).
We may want to fsync the containing directory once after renaming the
*.idx file into place, but that is outside the scope of this series.

Split up the finish_tmp_packfile() function and use the split-up version
in pack-objects.c in preparation for moving the step of renaming the

Since the only other caller of finish_tmp_packfile() was in
bulk-checkin.c, and it won't be needing a change to its *.idx renaming,
provide a thin wrapper for the old function as a static function in that
file. If other callers end up needing the simpler version it could be

Refactor the renaming in final() into a helper function, this is
similar in spirit to a preceding refactoring of finish_tmp_packfile()
in pack-write.c.
Before e37d0b8730 (builtin/index-pack.c: write reverse indexes,
2021-01-25) it probably wasn't worth it to have this sort of helper,
due to the differing "else if" case for "pack" files v.s. "idx" files.
But since we've got "rev" as well now, let's do the renaming via a
helper, this is both a net decrease in lines, and improves the
readability, since we can easily see at a glance that the logic for
writing these three types of files is exactly the same, aside from the
obviously differing cases of "*final_name" being NULL, and
"make_read_only_if_same" being different.

We treat the presence of an `.idx` file as the indicator of whether or
not it's safe to use a packfile. But `finish_tmp_packfile()` (which is
responsible for writing the pack and moving the temporary versions of
all of its auxiliary files into place) is inconsistent about the write
order.
Specifically, it moves the `.rev` file into place after the `.idx`,
leaving open the possibility to open a pack which looks "ready" (because
the `.idx` file exists and is readable) but appears momentarily to not
have a `.rev` file. This causes Git to fall back to generating the
pack's reverse index in memory.
Though racy, this amounts to an unnecessary slow-down at worst, and
doesn't affect the correctness of the resulting reverse index.
Close this race by moving the .rev file into place before moving the
.idx file into place.
This still leaves the issue of `.idx` files being renamed into place
before the auxiliary `.bitmap` file is renamed when in pack-object.c's
write_pack_file() "write_bitmap_index" is true. That race will be
addressed in subsequent commits.

Refactor the renaming in finish_tmp_packfile() into a helper function.
The callers are now expected to pass a "name_buffer" ending in
"pack-OID." instead of the previous "pack-", we then append "pack",
"idx" or "rev" to it.
By doing the strbuf_setlen() in rename_tmp_packfile() we reuse the
buffer and avoid the repeated allocations we'd get if that function had
its own temporary "struct strbuf".
This approach of reusing the buffer does make the last user in
pack-object.c's write_pack_file() slightly awkward, since we needlessly
do a strbuf_setlen() before calling strbuf_release() for consistency. In
subsequent changes we'll move that bitmap writing code around, so let's
not skip the strbuf_setlen() now.
The previous strbuf_reset() idiom originated with 5889271114
(finish_tmp_packfile():use strbuf for pathname construction,
2014-03-03), which in turn was a minimal adjustment of pre-strbuf code
added in 0e990530ae (finish_tmp_packfile(): a helper function,
2011-10-28).

finish_bulk_checkin() stores the checksum from finalize_hashfile() by
writing to the `hash` member of `struct object_id`, but that hash has
nothing to do with an object id (it's just a convenient location that
happens to be sized correctly).
Store the hash directly in an unsigned char array. This behaves the same
as writing to the `hash` member, but makes the intent clearer (and
avoids allocating an extra four bytes for the `algo` member of `struct
object_id`). It likewise prevents the possibility of a segfault when
reading `algo` (e.g., by calling `oid_to_hex()`) if it is uninitialized.

The t5562 script occasionally takes 60 extra seconds to complete due to
a race condition in the invoke-with-content-length.pl helper.
The way it's supposed to work is this:
- we set up a SIGCLD handler
- we kick off http-backend and write to it with a set content-length,
but _don't_ close the pipe
- we sleep for 60 seconds, assuming that SIGCLD from http-backend
finishing will interrupt us
- after the sleep finishes (whetherby 60 seconds or because it was
interrupted by the signal), we check a flag to see if our SIGCLD
handler was called. If not, then we complain.
This usually completes immediately, because the signal interrupts our
sleep. But very occasionally the child process dies _before_ we hit the
sleep, so we don't realize it. The test still completes successfully
(because our $exited flag is set), but it takes an extra 60 seconds.
There's no way to check the flag and sleep atomically. So the best we
can do with this approach is to sleep in smaller chunks (say, 1 second)
and check the flag incrementally. Then we waste a maximum of 1 second if
we lose the race. This was proposed in:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/20190218205028.32486-1-max@max630.net/
and it does work. But we can do better.
Instead of blocking on sleep and waiting for the child signal to
interrupt us, we can block on the child exiting and set an alarm signal
to trigger the timeout.
This lets us exit the script immediately when the child behaves (with no
race possible), and wait a maximum of 60 seconds when it doesn't.
Note one small subtlety: perl is very willing to restart the waitpid()
call after the alarm is delivered, even if we've thrown an exception via
die. "perldoc -f alarm" claims you can get around this with an eval/die
combo (and even has some example code), but it doesn't seem to work for
me with waitpid(); instead, we continue waiting until the child exits.
So instead, we'll instruct the child process to exit in the alarm
handler itself. In the original code this was done by calling
close($out). That would continue to work, since our child is always
http-backend, which should exit when its stdin closes. But we can be
even more robust against a hung or confused child by sending a KILL
signal, which should terminate it immediately.
