Ensure 'is_sparse_directory_entry()' receives a valid 'name_entry *' if one
exists in the list of tree(s) being unpacked in 'unpack_callback()'.
Currently, 'is_sparse_directory_entry()' is called with the first
'name_entry' in the 'names' list of entries on 'unpack_callback()'. However,
this entry may be empty even when other elements of 'names' are not (such as
when switching from an orphan branch back to a "normal" branch). As a
result, 'is_sparse_directory_entry()' could incorrectly indicate that a
sparse directory is *not* actually sparse because the name of the index
entry does not match the (empty) 'name_entry' path.
Fix the issue by using the existing 'name_entry *p' value in
'unpack_callback()', which points to the first non-empty entry in 'names'.
Because 'p' is 'const', also update 'is_sparse_directory_entry()'s
'name_entry *' argument to be 'const'.
Finally, add a regression test case.

Thanks to always running `diff-index` and `diff-files` with the
`--numstat` option (the latter with `--ignore-submodules=dirty`) before
even generating any real diff to parse, the Perl version of `git add -p`
simply ignored dirty submodules and does not even offer them up for
staging.
However, the built-in variant did not use that flag because it tries to
run only one `diff` command, skipping the unneeded
`diff-index`/`diff-files` invocation of the Perl variant and therefore
only faithfully recapitulates what the Perl code does once it _does_
generate and parse the real diff.
This causes a problem when running the built-in `add -p` with
`diff-so-fancy` because that diff colorizer always inserts an empty line
before the diff header to ensure that it produces 4 lines as expected by
`git add -p` (the equivalent of the non-colorized `diff`, `index`, `---`
and `+++` lines). But `git diff-files` does not produce any `index` line
for dirty submodules.
The underlying problem is not even the discrepancy in lines, but that
`git add -p` presents diffs for dirty submodules: there is nothing that
_can_ be staged for those.
Let's fix that bug, and teach the built-in `add -p` to ignore dirty
submodules, too. This _incidentally_ also fixes the `diff-so-fancy`
problem ;-)

In
https://lore.kernel.org/git/ecf6f5be-22ca-299f-a8f1-bda38e5ca246@gmail.com,
Phillipe Blain reported that the built-in `git add -p` command fails
when asked to use [`diff-so-fancy`][diff-so-fancy] to colorize the diff.
The reason is that this tool produces colored diffs with a hunk header
that does not contain any parseable `@@ ... @@` line range information,
and therefore we cannot detect any part in that header that comes after
the line range.
As proposed by Phillip Wood, let's take that for a clear indicator that
we should show the hunk headers verbatim. This is what the Perl version
of the interactive `add` command did, too.

When parsing the colored version of a diff, the interactive `add`
command really relies on the colored version having the same number of
lines as the plain (uncolored) version. That is an invariant.
We already have code to verify correctly when the colored diff has less
lines than the plain diff. Modulo an off-by-one bug: If the last diff
line has no matching colored one, the code pretends to succeed, still.
To make matters worse, when we adjusted the test in 1e4ffc765db (t3701:
adjust difffilter test, 2020-01-14), we did not catch this because `add
-p` fails for a _different_ reason: it does not find any colored hunk
header that contains a parseable line range.
If we change the test case so that the line range _can_ be parsed, the
bug is exposed.
Let's address all of the above by
- fixing the off-by-one,
- adjusting the test case to allow `add -p` to parse the line range
- making the test case more stringent by verifying that the expected
error message is shown
Also adjust a misleading code comment about the now-fixed code.

Since ee69e7884e (gc: use temporary file for editing crontab,
2022-08-28), we now insist that "argc == 3" (and otherwise return an
error). Coverity notes that this causes some dead code:
if (argc == 3)
fclose(from);
else
fclose(to);
as we will never trigger the else. This also causes a memory leak, since
we'll never close "to".
Now that all paths require 2 arguments, we can just reorganize the
function to check argc up front, and tweak the cleanup to do the right
thing for all cases.
While we're here, we can also notice some minor problems:
- we return a negative int via error() from what is essentially a
main() function; we should return a positive non-zero value for
error. Or better yet, we can just use usage(), which gives a better
message.
- while writing the usage message, we can note the one in the comment
was made out of date by ee69e7884e. But it also had a typo already,
calling the subcommand "cron" and not "crontab"
- we didn't check for an error from fopen(), meaning we would segfault
if the to-be-read file was missing. We can use xfopen() to catch
this.

Users may be authoring and committing their commits under the same
e-mail address they use to send their patches from, in which case
they shouldn't need to use the in-body From: line in their outgoing
e-mails. At the receiving end, "git am" will use the address on the
"From:" header of the incoming e-mail and all should be well.
Some mailing lists, however, mangle the From: address from what the
original sender had; in such a situation, the user may want to add
the in-body "From:" header even for their own patches.
"git format-patch --[no-]force-in-body-from" was invented for such

Fix &&-chain breaks in a couple tests which went unnoticed due to blind
spots in the &&-chain linters. In particular, the "magic exit code 117"
&&-chain checker built into test-lib.sh only recognizes broken &&-chains
at the top-level; it does not work within `{...}` groups, `(...)`
subshells, `$(...)` substitutions, or within bodies of compound
statements, such as `if`, `for`, `while`, `case`, etc. Furthermore,
`chainlint.sed`, which detects broken &&-chains only in `(...)`
subshells, missed these cases (which are in subshells) because it
(surprisingly) neglects to check for intact &&-chain on single-line
`for` loops.
While at it, explicitly signal failure of commands within the `for`
loops (which might arise due to the filesystem being full or "inode"
exhaustion). This is important since failures within `for` and `while`
loops can go unnoticed if not detected and signaled manually since the
loop itself does not abort when a contained command fails, nor will a
failure necessarily be detected when the loop finishes since the loop
returns the exit code of the last command it ran on the final iteration,
which may not be the command which failed.

While cron is specified by POSIX, there are a wide variety of
implementations in use. "git maintenance" assumes that the
"crontab" command can be fed from its standard input the new
contents and the syntax to do so is not to have any filename
argument, as POSIX describes. However, on FreeBSD, the cron
implementation requires a file name argument: if the user wants to
edit standard input, they must specify "-".
Unfortunately, POSIX systems do not have to interpret "-" on the
command line of crontab as a request to read from the standard
input. Blindly adding "-" on the command line would not work as a
general solution.
Since POSIX tells us that cron must accept a file name argument, let's
solve this problem by specifying a temporary file instead. This will
ensure that we work with the vast majority of implementations.
Note that because delete_tempfile closes the file for us, we should not
call fclose here on the handle, since doing so will introduce a double
free.

The sort subcommand of test-mergesort is used to test the performance of
sorting linked lists. It reads lines from stdin, sorts them and prints
the result to stdout. Two heap allocations are done per line: One for
the linked list item and one for the actual line string. That imposes a
significant amount of allocation overhead.
Reduce it by doing the same as the sort subcommand of test-string-list,
namely to read the whole input file into a single buffer and then split
it in-place.

It is a common pattern in this script to write the result of
`merge-tree -z` (NUL-termination mode) to an "actual" file and then
manually append a newline to that file so that it can be diff'd easily
with a hand-crafted "expect" file which itself ends with a newline since
it has been created by standard Unix tools which terminate lines by
default. For instance:
git merge-tree --write-tree -z ... >out &&
printf "\\n" >>out
anonymize_hash out >actual &&
q_to_nul <<-EOF >expect &&
...
EOF
test_cmp expect actual
However, one test gets this backward:
git merge-tree --write-tree -z ... >out &&
anonymize_hash out >actual &&
printf "\\n" >>actual
which means that, unlike all other cases, when anonymize_hash() is
called, the file being anonymized does not end with a newline. As a
result, this test fails on some platforms.
anonymize_hash() is implemented like this:
anonymize_hash() {
sed -e "s/[0-9a-f]\{40,\}/HASH/g" "$@"
}
The problem arises due to differences in behavior of various `sed`
implementations when fed an incomplete line (lacking a newline).
Although most modern `sed` implementations output such a line
unmolested (i.e. without a newline), some older `sed` implementations
forcibly add a newline to the incomplete line (giving the output an
extra unexpected newline), while other very old implementations simply
swallow an incomplete line and don't emit it at all (making the output
shorter than expected).
Fix this test by manually adding the newline before passing it through
`sed`, thus ensuring identical behavior with all `sed` implementation,
and bringing the test in line with other tests in this script.

Earlier change teaches Git to write bitmap lookup table. But Git
does not know how to parse them.
Teach Git to parse the existing bitmap lookup table. The older
versions of Git are not affected by it. Those versions ignore the
lookup table.

Teach Git to provide a way for users to enable/disable bitmap lookup
table extension by providing a config option named 'writeBitmapLookupTable'.
Default is false.
Also add test to verify writting of lookup table.

The `git range-diff` command can be quite expensive, which is not a
surprise given that the underlying algorithm to match up pairs of
commits between the provided two commit ranges has a cubic runtime.
Therefore it makes sense to restrict the commit ranges as much as
possible, to reduce the amount of input to that O(N^3) algorithm.
In chatty repositories with wide trees, this is not necessarily
possible merely by choosing commit ranges wisely.
Let's give users another option to restrict the commit ranges: by
providing a pathspec. That helps in repositories with wide trees because
it is likely that the user has a good idea which subset of the tree they
are actually interested in.
Example:
git range-diff upstream/main upstream/seen HEAD -- range-diff.c
This shows commits that are either in the local branch or in `seen`, but
not in `main`, skipping all commits that do not touch `range-diff.c`.
Note: Since we piggy-back the pathspecs onto the `other_arg` mechanism
that was introduced to be able to pass through the `--notes` option to
the revision machinery, we must now ensure that the `other_arg` array is
appended at the end (the revision range must come before the pathspecs,
if any).

The "diagnose" feature to create a zip archive for diagnostic
material has been lifted from "scalar" and made into a feature of
"git bugreport".
* vd/scalar-generalize-diagnose:
scalar: update technical doc roadmap
scalar-diagnose: use 'git diagnose --mode=all'
builtin/bugreport.c: create '--diagnose' option
builtin/diagnose.c: add '--mode' option
builtin/diagnose.c: create 'git diagnose' builtin
diagnose.c: add option to configure archive contents
scalar-diagnose: move functionality to common location
scalar-diagnose: move 'get_disk_info()' to 'compat/'
scalar-diagnose: add directory to archiver more gently
scalar-diagnose: avoid 32-bit overflow of size_t
scalar-diagnose: use "$GIT_UNZIP" in test
Fix deadlocks between main Git process and subprocess spawned via
the pipe_command() API, that can kill "git add -p" that was
reimplemented in C recently.
* jk/pipe-command-nonblock:
pipe_command(): mark stdin descriptor as non-blocking
pipe_command(): handle ENOSPC when writing to a pipe
pipe_command(): avoid xwrite() for writing to pipe
git-compat-util: make MAX_IO_SIZE define globally available
nonblock: support Windows
compat: add function to enable nonblocking pipes
The common ancestor negotiation exchange during a "git fetch"
session now leaves trace log.
* js/fetch-negotiation-trace:
fetch-pack: add tracing for negotiation rounds
An earlier optimization discarded a tree-object buffer that is
still in use, which has been corrected.
* jk/is-promisor-object-keep-tree-in-use:
is_promisor_object(): fix use-after-free of tree buffer
Further update the help messages given while merging submodules.
* en/submodule-merge-messages-fixes:
merge-ort: provide helpful submodule update message when possible
merge-ort: avoid surprise with new sub_flag variable
merge-ort: remove translator lego in new "submodule conflict suggestion"
submodule merge: update conflict error message
We try to write "|| return 1" (or "|| exit 1" in a subshell) at the
end of a sequence of &&-chained command in a loop of our tests, so
that a failure of any step during the earlier iteration of the loop
can properly be caught.
There is one loop in this test script that is used to compute the
expected result, that will be later compared with an actual output
produced by the "test-tool pack-mtimes" command. This particular
loop, however, is placed on the upstream side of a pipe, whose
non-zero exit code does not get noticed.
Emit a line that will never be produced by the "test-tool pack-mtimes"
to cause the later comparison to fail. As we use test_cmp to compare
this "expected output" file with the "actual output", the "error
message" we are emitting into the expected output stream will stand
out and shown to the tester.
