We normally try to avoid having two auto-gc operations run
at the same time, because it wastes resources. This was done
long ago in 64a99eb47 (gc: reject if another gc is running,
unless --force is given, 2013-08-08).
When we do a detached auto-gc, we run the ref-related
commands _before_ detaching, to avoid confusing lock
contention. This was done by 62aad1849 (gc --auto: do not
lock refs in the background, 2014-05-25).
These two features do not interact well. The pre-detach
operations are run before we check the gc.pid lock, meaning
that on a busy repository we may run many of them
concurrently. Ideally we'd take the lock before spawning any
operations, and hold it for the duration of the program.
This is tricky, though, with the way the pid-file interacts
with the daemonize() process. Other processes will check
that the pid recorded in the pid-file still exists. But
detaching causes us to fork and continue running under a
new pid. So if we take the lock before detaching, the
pid-file will have a bogus pid in it. We'd have to go back
and update it with the new pid after detaching. We'd also
have to play some tricks with the tempfile subsystem to
tweak the "owner" field, so that the parent process does not
clean it up on exit, but the child process does.
Instead, we can do something a bit simpler: take the lock
only for the duration of the pre-detach work, then detach,
then take it again for the post-detach work. Technically,
this means that the post-detach lock could lose to another
process doing pre-detach work. But in the long run this
works out.
That second process would then follow-up by doing
post-detach work. Unless it was in turn blocked by a third
process doing pre-detach work, and so on. This could in
theory go on indefinitely, as the pre-detach work does not
repack, and so need_to_gc() will continue to trigger. But
in each round we are racing between the pre- and post-detach
locks. Eventually, one of the post-detach locks will win the
race and complete the full gc. So in the worst case, we may
racily repeat the pre-detach work, but we would never do so
simultaneously (it would happen via a sequence of serialized
race-wins).

It seems to be a little-known feature of `grep` (and it certainly came
as a surprise to this here developer who believed to know the Unix tools
pretty well) that multiple patterns can be passed in the same
command-line argument simply by separating them by newlines. Watch, and
learn:
$ printf '1\n2\n3\n' | grep "$(printf '1\n3\n')"
1
3
That behavior also extends to patterns passed via `-e`, and it is not
modified by passing the option `-E` (but trying this with -P issues the
error "grep: the -P option only supports a single pattern").
It seems that there are more old Unix hands who are surprised by this
behavior, as grep invocations of the form
grep "$(git rev-parse A B) C" file
were introduced in a85b377d04 (push: the beginning of "git push
--signed", 2014-09-12), and later faithfully copy-edited in b9459019bb
(push: heed user.signingkey for signed pushes, 2014-10-22).
Please note that the output of `git rev-parse A B` separates the object
IDs via *newlines*, not via spaces, and those newlines are preserved
because the interpolation is enclosed in double quotes.
As a consequence, these tests try to validate that the file contains
either A's object ID, or B's object ID followed by C, or both. Clearly,
however, what the test wanted to see is that there is a line that
contains all of them.
This is clearly unintended, and the grep invocations in question really
match too many lines.
Fix the test by avoiding the newlines in the patterns.

Update sha1dc from the latest version by the upstream maintainer[1].
See commit 6b851e536b ("sha1dc: update from upstream", 2017-06-06) for
the last update.
This solves the Big Endian detection on Solaris reported against
v2.13.2[2], hopefully without any regressions. A version of this has
been tested on two Solaris SPARC installations, Cygwin (by jturney on
cygwin@Freenode), and on numerous more boring systems (mainly
linux/x86_64). See [3] for a discussion of the implementation and
platform-specific issues.
See commit a0103914c2 ("sha1dc: update from upstream", 2017-05-20) and
6b851e536b ("sha1dc: update from upstream", 2017-06-06) for previous
attempts in the 2.13 series to address various compile-time feature
detection in this library.

The helper function utf8_fprintf(fp, ...) has exactly the same
effect to the output stream fp as fprintf(fp, ...) does, and the
only difference is that its return value counts in display columns
consumed (assuming that the payload is encoded in UTF-8), as opposed
to number of bytes.
There is no reason to call it unless the caller cares about its
return value.

Defining USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=1 when building Git uses asciidoctor over
asciidoc when generating DocBook and man page documentation. However,
the contrib/subtree module does not presently honour that flag.

system. Instead, adapt the main Documentation/Makefile logic to use

provoke error messages due to missing file names, and some are only

Since f6ecc62dbf (write_shared_index(): use tempfile module, 2015-08-10)
write_shared_index() has been using mks_tempfile() to create the
temporary file that will become the shared index.
But even before that, it looks like the functions used to create this
file didn't call adjust_shared_perm(), which means that the shared
index file has always been created with 600 permissions regardless
of the shared permission settings.
Because of that, on repositories created with `git init --shared=all`
and using the split index feature, one gets an error like:
fatal: .git/sharedindex.a52f910b489bc462f187ab572ba0086f7b5157de: index file open failed: Permission denied
when another user performs any operation that reads the shared index.
Call adjust_shared_perm() on the temporary file created by
mks_tempfile() ourselves to adjust the permission bits.
