Create a new "File formats, protocols and other developer interfaces"
section in the main "git help git" manual page and start moving the
documentation that now lives in "Documentation/technical/*.git" over
to it. This complements the newly added and adjacent "Repository,

This makes the technical documentation more accessible and
discoverable. Before this we wouldn't install it by default, and had
no ability to build man page versions of them. The links to them from
our existing documentation link to the generated HTML version of these
docs.
So let's start moving those over, starting with just the
"bundle-format.txt" documentation added in 7378ec90e1 (doc: describe
Git bundle format, 2020-02-07). We'll now have a new
gitformat-bundle(5) man page. Subsequent commits will move more git
internal format documentation over.
Unfortunately the syntax of the current Documentation/technical/*.txt
is not the same (when it comes to section headings etc.) as our
Documentation/*.txt documentation, so change the relevant bits of
syntax as we're moving this over.

Create a new "Repository, command and file interfaces" section in the
main "git help git" manual page. Move things that belong under this
new criteria from the generic "Guides" section.
The "Guides" section was added in f442f28a81 (git.txt: add list of
guides, 2020-08-05). It makes sense to have e.g. "giteveryday(7)" and
"gitfaq(7)" listed under "Guides".
But placing e.g. "gitignore(5)" in it is stretching the meaning of
what a "guide" is, ideally that section should list things similar to
"giteveryday(7)" and "gitcore-tutorial(7)".
An alternate name that was considered for this new section was "User
formats", for consistency with the nomenclature used for man section 5
in general. My man(1) lists it as "File formats and conventions,
e.g. /etc/passwd".
So calling this "git help --formats" or "git help --user-formats"
would make sense for e.g. gitignore(5), but would be stretching it
somewhat for githooks(5), and would seem really suspect for the likes
of gitcli(7).
Let's instead pick a name that's closer to the generic term "User
interface", which is really what this documentation discusses: General
user-interface documentation that doesn't obviously belong elsewhere.

Add a "free_removed_argv_elements" member to "struct
setup_revision_opt", and use it to fix several memory leaks.
We have various memory leaks in APIs that take and munge "const
char **argv", e.g. parse_options(). Sometimes these APIs are given the
"argv" we get to the "main" function, in which case we don't leak
memory, but other times we're giving it the "v" member of a "struct
strvec" we created.
There's several potential ways to fix those sort of leaks, we could
add a "nodup" mode to "struct strvec", which would work for the cases
where we push constant strings to it. But that wouldn't work as soon
as we used strvec_pushf(), or otherwise needed to duplicate or create
a string for that "struct strvec".
Let's instead make it the responsibility of the revisions API. If it's
going to clobber elements of argv it can also free() them, which it
will now do if instructed to do so via "free_removed_argv_elements".

Refactor the juggling of "rev.pending" and our replacement for it
amended in the preceding commit so that:
* We use an "unsigned int" instead of an "int" for "i", this matches
the types of "struct rev_info" itself.
* We don't need the "count" and "objects" variables introduced in
5d7eeee2ac (git-show: grok blobs, trees and tags, too, 2006-12-14).
They were originally added since we'd clobber rev.pending in the
loop without restoring it. Since the preceding commit we are
restoring it when we handle OBJ_COMMIT, so the main for-loop can
refer to "rev.pending" didrectly.
* We use the "memcpy a &blank" idiom introduced in
5726a6b401 (*.c *_init(): define in terms of corresponding *_INIT
macro, 2021-07-01).
This is more obvious than relying on us enumerating all of the

clear.

Fix a memory leak in code added in 5d7eeee2ac (git-show: grok blobs,
trees and tags, too, 2006-12-14). As we iterate over a "<revision>..."
command-line and encounter ad OBJ_COMMIT we want to use our "struct
rev_info", but with a "pending" array of one element: the one commit
we're showing in the loop.
To do this 5d7eeee2ac saved away a pointer to rev.pending.objects and
rev.pending.nr for its iteration. We'd then clobber those (and alloc)
when we needed to show an OBJ_COMMIT.
We'd therefore leak the "rev.pending" we started out with, and only
free the new "rev.pending" in the "OBJ_COMMIT" case arm as
prepare_revision_walk() would draw it down.
Let's fix this memory leak. Now when we encounter an OBJ_COMMIT we
save away the "rev.pending" before clearing it. We then add a single
commit to it, which our indirect invocation of prepare_revision_walk()
will remove. After that we restore the "rev.pending".
Our "rev.pending" will then get free'd by the release_revisions()
added in f6bfea0ad0 (revisions API users: use release_revisions() in

You can feed absolute garbage to symbolic-ref as a target like:
git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/foo..bar
While this doesn't technically break the repo entirely (our "is it a git
directory" detector looks only for "refs/" at the start), we would never
resolve such a ref, as the ".." is invalid within a refname.
Let's flag these as invalid at creation time to help the caller realize
that what they're asking for is bogus.
A few notes:
- We use REFNAME_ALLOW_ONELEVEL here, which lets:
git update-ref refs/heads/foo FETCH_HEAD
continue to work. It's unclear whether anybody wants to do something
so odd, but it does work now, so this is erring on the conservative
side. There's a test to make sure we didn't accidentally break this,
but don't take that test as an endorsement that it's a good idea, or
something we might not change in the future.
- The test in t4202-log.sh checks how we handle such an invalid ref on
the reading side, so it has to be updated to touch the HEAD file
directly.
- We need to keep our HEAD-specific check for "does it start with
refs/". The ALLOW_ONELEVEL flag means we won't be enforcing that for
other refs, but HEAD is special here because of the checks in
validate_headref().

Previously, if the user:
* Had no local changes before starting the merge
* A merge strategy makes changes to the working tree/index but returns
with exit status 2
Then we'd call restore_state() to clean up the changes and either let
the next merge strategy run (if there is one), or exit telling the user
that no merge strategy could handle the merge. Unfortunately,
restore_state() did not clean up the changes as expected; that function
was a no-op if the stash was a null, and the stash would be null if
there were no local changes before starting the merge. So, instead of
"Rewinding the tree to pristine..." as the code claimed, restore_state()
would leave garbage around in the index and working tree (possibly
including conflicts) for either the next merge strategy or for the user
after aborting the merge. And in the case of aborting the merge, the
user would be unable to run "git merge --abort" to get rid of the
unintended leftover conflicts, because the merge control files were not
written as it was presumed that we had restored to a clean state
already.
Fix the main problem by making sure that restore_state() only skips the
stash application if the stash is null rather than skipping the whole
function.
However, there is a secondary problem -- since merge.c forks
subprocesses to do the cleanup, the in-memory index is left out-of-sync.
While there was a refresh_cache(REFRESH_QUIET) call that attempted to
correct that, that function would not handle cases where the previous
merge strategy added conflicted entries. We need to drop the index and
re-read it to handle such cases.
(Alternatively, we could stop forking subprocesses and instead call some
appropriate function to do the work which would update the in-memory
index automatically. For now, just do the simple fix.)
Also, add a testcase checking this, one for which the octopus strategy
fails on the first commit it attempts to merge, and thus which it
cannot handle at all and must completely bail on (as per the "exit 2"
code path of commit 98efc8f3d8 ("octopus: allow manual resolve on the
last round.", 2006-01-13)).

Merge strategies can:
* succeed with a clean merge
* succeed with a conflicted merge
* fail to handle the given type of merge
If one is thinking in terms of automatic mergeability, they would use
the word "fail" instead of "succeed" for the second bullet, but I am
focusing here on ability of the merge strategy to handle the given
inputs, not on whether the given inputs are mergeable. The third
category is about the merge strategy failing to know how to handle the
given data; examples include:
* Passing more than 2 branches to 'recursive' or 'ort'
* Passing 2 or fewer branches to 'octopus'
* Trying to do more complicated merges with 'resolve' (I believe
directory/file conflicts will cause it to bail.)
* Octopus running into a merge conflict for any branch OTHER than
the final one (see the "exit 2" codepath of commit 98efc8f3d8
("octopus: allow manual resolve on the last round.", 2006-01-13))
That final one is particularly interesting, because it shows that the
merge strategy can muck with the index and working tree, and THEN bail
and say "sorry, this strategy cannot handle this type of merge; use
something else".
Further, we do not currently expect the individual strategies to clean
up after themselves, but instead expect builtin/merge.c to do so. For
it to be able to, it needs to save the state before trying the merge
strategy so it can have something to restore to. Therefore, remove the
shortcut bypassing the save_state() call.
There is another bug on the restore_state() side of things, so no
testcase will be added until the next commit when we have addressed that
issue as well.

There are multiple issues at play here:
1) If `git merge` is invoked with staged changes, it should abort
without doing any merging, and the user's working tree and index
should be the same as before merge was invoked.
2) Merge strategies are responsible for enforcing the index == HEAD
requirement. (See 9822175d2b ("Ensure index matches head before
invoking merge machinery, round N", 2019-08-17) for some history
around this.)
3) Merge strategies can bail saying they are not an appropriate
handler for the merge in question (possibly allowing other
strategies to be used instead).
4) Merge strategies can make changes to the index and working tree,
and have no expectation to clean up after themselves, *even* if
they bail out and say they are not an appropriate handler for
the merge in question. (The `octopus` merge strategy does this,
for example.)
5) Because of (3) and (4), builtin/merge.c stashes state before
trying merge strategies and restores it afterward.
Unfortunately, if users had staged changes before calling `git merge`,
builtin/merge.c could do the following:
* stash the changes, in order to clean up after the strategies
* try all the merge strategies in turn, each of which report they
cannot function due to the index not matching HEAD
* restore the changes via "git stash apply"
But that last step would have the net effect of unstaging the user's
changes. Fix this by adding the "--index" option to "git stash apply".
While at it, also squelch the stash apply output; we already report
"Rewinding the tree to pristine..." and don't need a detailed `git
status` report afterwards. Also while at it, switch to using strvec
so folks don't have to count the arguments to ensure we avoided an
off-by-one error, and so it's easier to add additional arguments to
the command.

builtin/merge is setup to allow multiple strategies to be specified,
and it will find the "best" result and use it. This is defeated if
some of the merge strategies abort early when they cannot handle the
merge. Fix the logic that calls recursive and ort to not do such an
early abort, but instead return "2" or "unhandled" so that the next
strategy can try to handle the merge.
Coming up with a testcase for this is somewhat difficult, since
recursive and ort both handle nearly any two-headed merge (there is
a separate code path that checks for non-two-headed merges and
already returns "2" for them). So use a somewhat synthetic testcase
of having the index not match HEAD before the merge starts, since all
merge strategies will abort for that.

As noted in the last commit and the links therein (especially commit
9822175d2b ("Ensure index matches head before invoking merge machinery,
round N", 2019-08-17), we have had a very long history of problems with
failing to enforce the requirement that index matches HEAD when starting
a merge.
The "trivial merge" logic in builtin/merge.c is yet another such case
we previously missed. Add a check for it to ensure it aborts if the
index does not match HEAD, and add a testcase where this fix is needed.
Note that the fix here would also incidentally be an alternative fix
for the testcase added in the last patch, but the fix in the last patch
is still needed when multiple merge strategies are in use, so tweak the
testcase from the previous commit so that it continues to exercise the
codepath added in the last commit.

When callers are using `cat-file` via one of the stdin-driven `--batch`
modes, all input is newline-delimited. This presents a problem when
callers wish to ask about, e.g. tree-entries that have a newline
character present in their filename.
To support this niche scenario, introduce a new `-z` mode to the
`--batch`, `--batch-check`, and `--batch-command` suite of options that
instructs `cat-file` to treat its input as NUL-delimited, allowing the
individual commands themselves to have newlines present.
The refactoring here is slightly unfortunate, since we turn loops like:
while (strbuf_getline(&buf, stdin) != EOF)
into:
while (1) {
int ret;
if (opt->nul_terminated)
ret = strbuf_getline_nul(&input, stdin);
else
ret = strbuf_getline(&input, stdin);
if (ret == EOF)
break;
}
It's tempting to think that we could use `strbuf_getwholeline()` and
specify either `\n` or `\0` as the terminating character. But for input
on platforms that include a CR character preceeding the LF, this
wouldn't quite be the same, since `strbuf_getline(...)` will trim any
trailing CR, while `strbuf_getwholeline(&buf, stdin, '\n')` will not.
In the future, we could clean this up further by introducing a variant
of `strbuf_getwholeline()` that addresses the aforementioned gap, but
that approach felt too heavy-handed for this pair of uses.
Some tests are added in t1006 to ensure that `cat-file` produces the
same output in `--batch`, `--batch-check`, and `--batch-command` modes
with and without the new `-z` option.

When working on a large feature, it can be helpful to break that feature
into multiple smaller parts that become reviewed in sequence. During
development or during review, a change to one part of the feature could
affect multiple of these parts. An interactive rebase can help adjust
the multi-part "story" of the branch.
However, if there are branches tracking the different parts of the
feature, then rebasing the entire list of commits can create commits not
reachable from those "sub branches". It can take a manual step to update
those branches.
Add a new --update-refs option to 'git rebase -i' that adds 'update-ref
<ref>' steps to the todo file whenever a commit that is being rebased is
decorated with that <ref>. At the very end, the rebase process updates
all of the listed refs to the values stored during the rebase operation.
Be sure to iterate after any squashing or fixups are placed. Update the
branch only after those squashes and fixups are complete. This allows a
--fixup commit at the tip of the feature to apply correctly to the sub
branch, even if it is fixing up the most-recent commit in that part.
This change update the documentation and builtin to accept the
--update-refs option as well as updating the todo file with the
'update-ref' commands. Tests are added to ensure that these todo
commands are added in the correct locations.
This change does _not_ include the actual behavior of tracking the
updated refs and writing the new ref values at the end of the rebase
process. That is deferred to a later change.

to be materialized in the working tree) and "out of cone"
(i.e. expected to be hidden). The handling of such cases has been
improved.
* sy/mv-out-of-cone:
mv: add check_dir_in_index() and solve general dir check issue
mv: use flags mode for update_mode
mv: check if <destination> exists in index to handle overwriting
mv: check if out-of-cone file exists in index with SKIP_WORKTREE bit
mv: decouple if/else-if checks using goto
mv: update sparsity after moving from out-of-cone to in-cone
t1092: mv directory from out-of-cone to in-cone
t7002: add tests for moving out-of-cone file/directory
Allow large objects read from a packstream to be streamed into a
loose object file straight, without having to keep it in-core as a
whole.
* hx/unpack-streaming:
unpack-objects: use stream_loose_object() to unpack large objects
core doc: modernize core.bigFileThreshold documentation
object-file.c: add "stream_loose_object()" to handle large object
object-file.c: factor out deflate part of write_loose_object()
object-file.c: refactor write_loose_object() to several steps
unpack-objects: low memory footprint for get_data() in dry_run mode
"git merge-tree" learned a new mode where it takes two commits and
computes a tree that would result in the merge commit, if the
histories leading to these two commits were to be merged.
* en/merge-tree:
git-merge-tree.txt: add a section on potentional usage mistakes
merge-tree: add a --allow-unrelated-histories flag
merge-tree: allow `ls-files -u` style info to be NUL terminated
merge-ort: optionally produce machine-readable output
merge-ort: store more specific conflict information
merge-ort: make `path_messages` a strmap to a string_list
merge-ort: store messages in a list, not in a single strbuf
merge-tree: provide easy access to `ls-files -u` style info
merge-tree: provide a list of which files have conflicts
merge-ort: remove command-line-centric submodule message from merge-ort
merge-ort: provide a merge_get_conflicted_files() helper function
merge-tree: support including merge messages in output
merge-ort: split out a separate display_update_messages() function
merge-tree: implement real merges
merge-tree: add option parsing and initial shell for real merge function
merge-tree: move logic for existing merge into new function
merge-tree: rename merge_trees() to trivial_merge_trees()
When sorting the output of `git shortlog` by count, a list of authors in
alphabetical order is then sorted by contribution count. Obviously, the
idea is to maintain the alphabetical order for items with identical
contribution count.
At the moment, this job is performed by `qsort()`. As that function is
not guaranteed to implement a stable sort algorithm, this can lead to
inconsistent and/or surprising behavior: items with identical
contribution count could lose their alphabetical sub-order.
The `qsort()` in MS Visual C's runtime does _not_ implement a stable
sort algorithm, and under certain circumstances this even causes a test
failure in t4201.21 "shortlog can match multiple groups", where two
authors both are listed with 2 contributions, and are listed in inverse
alphabetical order.
Let's instead use the stable sort provided by `git_stable_qsort()` to
avoid this inconsistency.
This is a companion to 2049b8dc65 (diffcore_rename(): use a stable sort,
2019-09-30).

At the end of `git checkout <pathspec>`, we get a message informing how
many entries were updated in the working tree. However, this number can
be inaccurate for two reasons:
1) Delayed entries currently get counted twice.
2) Failed entries are included in the count.
The first problem happens because the counter is first incremented
before inserting the entry in the delayed checkout queue, and once again
when finish_delayed_checkout() calls checkout_entry(). And the second
happens because the counter is incremented too early in
checkout_entry(), before the entry was in fact checked out. Fix that by
moving the count increment further down in the call stack and removing
the duplicate increment on delayed entries. Note that we have to keep
a per-entry reference for the counter (both on parallel checkout and
delayed checkout) because not all entries are always accumulated at the
same counter. See checkout_worktree(), at builtin/checkout.c for an
example.

"git remote show [-n] frotz" now pays attention to negative
pathspec.
* jk/remote-show-with-negative-refspecs:
remote: handle negative refspecs in git remote show
"git mktree --missing" lazily fetched objects that are missing from
the local object store, which was totally unnecessary for the purpose
of creating the tree object(s) from its input.
* ro/mktree-allow-missing-fix:
mktree: do not check type of remote objects
* ds/branch-checked-out:
branch: drop unused worktrees variable
fetch: stop passing around unused worktrees variable
branch: fix branch_checked_out() leaks
branch: use branch_checked_out() when deleting refs
fetch: use new branch_checked_out() and add tests
branch: check for bisects and rebases
branch: add branch_checked_out() helper
