d82ad54945 git: update documentation for --git-dir
git --git-dir <path> is a bit confusing and sometimes doesn't work as
the user would expect it to.

For example, if the user runs `git --git-dir=<path> status`, git
will skip the repository discovery algorithm and will assign the
work tree to the user's current work directory unless otherwise
specified. When this assignment is wrong, the output will not match
the user's expectations.

This patch updates the documentation to make it clearer.

c56c48dd07 grep: ignore --recurse-submodules if --no-index is given
Since grep learned to recurse into submodules in 0281e487fd
(grep: optionally recurse into submodules, 2016-12-16),
using --recurse-submodules along with --no-index makes Git
die().

This is unfortunate because if submodule.recurse is set in a user's
~/.gitconfig, invoking `git grep --no-index` either inside or outside
a Git repository results in

    fatal: option not supported with --recurse-submodules

Let's allow using these options together, so that setting submodule.recurse
globally does not prevent using `git grep --no-index`.

Using `--recurse-submodules` should not have any effect if `--no-index`
is used inside a repository, as Git will recurse into the checked out
submodule directories just like into regular directories.

8b2a1928f0 doc: drop "explicitly given" from push.default description
The documentation for push.default mentions that it is used if no
refspec is "explicitly given". Let's drop the notion of "explicit" here,
since it's vague, and just mention that any refspec from anywhere is
sufficient to override this.

I've dropped the mention of "explicitly given" from the definition of
the "nothing" value right below, too. It's close enough to our
clarification that it should be obvious we mean the same type of "given"
here.

cf82bff73f obstack: avoid computing offsets from NULL pointer
As with the previous two commits, UBSan with clang-11 complains about
computing offsets from a NULL pointer. The failures in t4013 (and
elsewhere) look like this:

  kwset.c:102:23: runtime error: applying non-zero offset 107820859019600 to null pointer
  ...
  not ok 79 - git log -SF master # magic is (not used)

That line is not enlightening:

  ... = obstack_alloc(&kwset->obstack, sizeof (struct trie));

because obstack is implemented almost entirely in macros, and the actual
problem is five macros deep (I temporarily converted them to inline
functions to get better compiler errors, which was tedious but worked
reasonably well).

The actual problem is in these pointer-alignment macros:

  /* If B is the base of an object addressed by P, return the result of
     aligning P to the next multiple of A + 1.  B and P must be of type
     char *.  A + 1 must be a power of 2.  */

  #define __BPTR_ALIGN(B, P, A) ((B) + (((P) - (B) + (A)) & ~(A)))

  /* Similar to _BPTR_ALIGN (B, P, A), except optimize the common case
     where pointers can be converted to integers, aligned as integers,
     and converted back again.  If PTR_INT_TYPE is narrower than a
     pointer (e.g., the AS/400), play it safe and compute the alignment
     relative to B.  Otherwise, use the faster strategy of computing the
     alignment relative to 0.  */

  #define __PTR_ALIGN(B, P, A)                                                \
    __BPTR_ALIGN (sizeof (PTR_INT_TYPE) < sizeof (void *) ? (B) : (char *) 0, \
                  P, A)

If we have a sufficiently-large integer pointer type, then we do the
computation using a NULL pointer constant. That turns __BPTR_ALIGN()
into something like:

  NULL + (P - NULL + A) & ~A

and UBSan is complaining about adding the full value of P to that
initial NULL. We can fix this by doing our math as an integer type, and
then casting the result back to a pointer. The problem case only happens
when we know that the integer type is large enough, so there should be
no issue with truncation.

Another option would be just simplify out all the 0's from
__BPTR_ALIGN() for the NULL-pointer case. That probably wouldn't work
for a platform where the NULL pointer isn't all-zeroes, but Git already
wouldn't work on such a platform (due to our use of memset to set
pointers in structs to NULL). But I tried here to keep as close to the
original as possible.

3cd309c16f xdiff: avoid computing non-zero offset from NULL pointer
As with the previous commit, clang-11's UBSan complains about computing
offsets from a NULL pointer, causing some tests to fail. In this case,
though, we're actually computing a non-zero offset, which is even more
dubious. From t7810:

  xdiff-interface.c:268:14: runtime error: applying non-zero offset 1 to null pointer
  ...
  not ok 131 - grep -p with userdiff

The problem is our parsing of the funcname config. We count the number
of lines in the string, allocate an array, and then loop over our
allocated entries, parsing each line and moving our cursor to one past
the trailing newline for the next iteration.

But the final line will not generally have a trailing newline (since
it's a config value), and hence we go to one past NULL. In practice this
is OK, since our loop should terminate before we look at the value. But
even computing such an invalid pointer technically violates the
standard.

We can fix it by leaving the pointer at NULL if we're at the end, rather
than one-past. And while we're thinking about it, we can also document
the variant by asserting that our initial line-count matches the
second-pass of parsing.

d20bc01a51 avoid computing zero offsets from NULL pointer
The Undefined Behavior Sanitizer in clang-11 seems to have learned a new
trick: it complains about computing offsets from a NULL pointer, even if
that offset is 0. This causes numerous test failures. For example, from
t1090:

  unpack-trees.c:1355:41: runtime error: applying zero offset to null pointer
  ...
  not ok 6 - in partial clone, sparse checkout only fetches needed blobs

The code in question looks like this:

  struct cache_entry **cache_end = cache + nr;
  ...
  while (cache != cache_end)

and we sometimes pass in a NULL and 0 for "cache" and "nr". This is
conceptually fine, as "cache_end" would be equal to "cache" in this
case, and we wouldn't enter the loop at all. But computing even a zero
offset violates the C standard. And given the fact that UBSan is
noticing this behavior, this might be a potential problem spot if the
compiler starts making unexpected assumptions based on undefined
behavior.

So let's just avoid it, which is pretty easy. In some cases we can just
switch to iterating with a numeric index (as we do in sequencer.c here).
In other cases (like the cache_end one) the use of an end pointer is
more natural; we can keep that by just explicitly checking for the
NULL/0 case when assigning the end pointer.

Note that there are two ways you can write this latter case, checking
for the pointer:

  cache_end = cache ? cache + nr : cache;

or the size:

  cache_end = nr ? cache + nr : cache;

For the case of a NULL/0 ptr/len combo, they are equivalent. But writing
it the second way (as this patch does) has the property that if somebody
were to incorrectly pass a NULL pointer with a non-zero length, we'd
continue to notice and segfault, rather than silently pretending the
length was zero.

7edee32985 git rm submodule: succeed if .gitmodules index stat info is zero
The bug was that ie_match_stat() was used to compare if the stat info
for the file was compatible with the stat info in the index, rather
using ie_modified() to check if the file was in fact different from the
version in the index.

A version of this (with deinit instead of rm) was reported here:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAPOqYV+C-P9M2zcUBBkD2LALPm4K3sxSut+BjAkZ9T1AKLEr+A@mail.gmail.com/

It seems that in that case, the user's clone command left the index
with empty stat info.  The mailing list was unable to reproduce this.
But we (Two Sigma) hit the bug while using some plumbing commands, so
I'm fixing it.  I manually confirmed that the fix also repairs deinit
in this scenario.

b54128bb0b t5616: make robust to delta base change
Commit 6462d5eb9a ("fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0", 2019-11-08)
contains a test that relies on having to lazily fetch the delta base of
a blob, but assumes that the tree being fetched (as part of the test) is
sent as a non-delta object. This assumption may not hold in the future;
for example, a change in the length of the object hash might result in
the tree being sent as a delta instead.

Make the test more robust by relying on having to lazily fetch the delta
base of the tree instead, and by making no assumptions on whether the
blobs are sent as delta or non-delta.

4c616c2ba1 merge-recursive: use subtraction to flip stage
The flip_stage() helper uses a bit-flipping xor to switch between "2"
and "3". While clever, this relies on a property of those two numbers
that is mostly coincidence. Let's write it as a subtraction; that's more
clear and would extend to other numbers if somebody copies the logic.

ee798742bd merge-recursive: silence -Wxor-used-as-pow warning
The merge-recursive code uses stage number constants like this:

  add = &ci->ren1->dst_entry->stages[2 ^ 1];
  ...
  add = &ci->ren2->dst_entry->stages[3 ^ 1];

The xor has the effect of flipping the "1" bit, so that "2 ^ 1" becomes
"3" and "3 ^ 1" becomes "2", which correspond to the "ours" and "theirs"
stages respectively.

Unfortunately, clang-10 and up issue a warning for this code:

  merge-recursive.c:1759:40: error: result of '2 ^ 1' is 3; did you mean '1 << 1' (2)? [-Werror,-Wxor-used-as-pow]
                  add = &ci->ren1->dst_entry->stages[2 ^ 1];
                                                     ~~^~~
                                                     1 << 1
  merge-recursive.c:1759:40: note: replace expression with '0x2 ^ 1' to silence this warning

We could silence it by using 0x2, as the compiler mentions. Or by just
using the constants "2" and "3" directly. But after digging into it, I
do think this bit-flip is telling us something. If we just wrote:

  add = &ci->ren2->dst_entry->stages[2];

for the second one, you might think that "ren2" and "2" correspond. But
they don't. The logic is: ren2 is theirs, which is stage 3, but we
are interested in the opposite side's stage, so flip it to 2.

So let's keep the bit-flipping, but let's also put it behind a named
function, which will make its purpose a bit clearer. This also has the
side effect of suppressing the warning (and an optimizing compiler
should be able to easily turn it into a constant as before).

39e21c6ef5 verify_filename(): handle backslashes in "wildcards are pathspecs" rule
Commit 28fcc0b71a (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is
used, 2015-05-02) allowed:

  git rev-parse '*.c'

without the double-dash. But the rule it uses to check for wildcards
actually looks for any glob special. This is overly liberal, as it means
that a pattern that doesn't actually do any wildcard matching, like
"a\b", will be considered a pathspec.

If you do have such a file on disk, that's presumably what you wanted.
But if you don't, the results are confusing: rather than say "there's no
such path a\b", we'll quietly accept it as a pathspec which very likely
matches nothing (or at least not what you intended). Likewise, looking
for path "a\*b" doesn't expand the search at all; it would only find a
single entry, "a*b".

This commit switches the rule to trigger only when glob metacharacters
would expand the search, meaning both of those cases will now report an
error (you can still disambiguate using "--", of course; we're just
tightening the DWIM heuristic).

Note that we didn't test the original feature in 28fcc0b71a at all. So
this patch not only tests for these corner cases, but also adds a
regression test for the existing behavior.

a9472afb63 submodule.c: use get_git_dir() instead of get_git_common_dir()
Ever since df56607dff (git-common-dir: make "modules/"
per-working-directory directory, 2014-11-30), submodules in linked worktrees
are cloned to $GIT_DIR/modules, i.e. $GIT_COMMON_DIR/worktrees/<name>/modules.

However, this convention was not followed when the worktree updater commands
checkout, reset and read-tree learned to recurse into submodules. Specifically,
submodule.c::submodule_move_head, introduced in 6e3c1595c6 (update submodules:
add submodule_move_head, 2017-03-14) and submodule.c::submodule_unset_core_worktree,
(re)introduced in 898c2e65b7 (submodule: unset core.worktree if no working tree
is present, 2018-12-14) use get_git_common_dir() instead of get_git_dir()
to get the path of the submodule repository.

This means that, for example, 'git checkout --recurse-submodules <branch>'
in a linked worktree will correctly checkout <branch>, detach the submodule's HEAD
at the commit recorded in <branch> and update the submodule working tree, but the
submodule HEAD that will be moved is the one in $GIT_COMMON_DIR/modules/<name>/,
i.e. the submodule repository of the main superproject working tree.
It will also rewrite the gitfile in the submodule working tree of the linked worktree
to point to $GIT_COMMON_DIR/modules/<name>/.
This leads to an incorrect (and confusing!) state in the submodule working tree
of the main superproject worktree.

Additionally, if switching to a commit where the submodule is not present,
submodule_unset_core_worktree will be called and will incorrectly remove
'core.wortree' from the config file of the submodule in the main superproject worktree,
$GIT_COMMON_DIR/modules/<name>/config.

Fix this by constructing the path to the submodule repository using get_git_dir()
in both submodule_move_head and submodule_unset_core_worktree.

129510a067 t2405: clarify test descriptions and simplify test
When 'checkout --to' functionality was moved to 'worktree add', tests were adapted
in f194b1ef6e (tests: worktree: retrofit "checkout --to" tests for "worktree add",
2015-07-06).

The calls were changed to 'worktree add' in this test (then t7410), but the test
descriptions were not updated, keeping 'checkout' instead of using the new
terminology (linked worktrees).

Also, in the test each worktree is created in
$TRASH_DIRECTORY/<leading-directory>/main, where the name of <leading-directory>
carries some information about what behavior each test verifies. This directory
structure is not mandatory for the tests; the worktrees can live next to one
another in the trash directory.

Clarify the tests by using the right terminology, and remove the unnecessary
leading directories such that all superproject worktrees are directly next to one
another in the trash directory.

773c60a45e t7410: rename to t2405-worktree-submodule.sh
This test was added in df56607dff (git-common-dir: make "modules/"
per-working-directory directory, 2014-11-30), back when the 'git worktree' command
did not exist and 'git checkout --to' was used to create supplementary worktrees.

Since this file contains tests for the interaction of 'git worktree' with
submodules, rename it to t2405-worktree-submodule.sh, following the naming scheme for
tests checking the behavior of various commands with submodules.

7a2dc95cbc docs: mention when increasing http.postBuffer is valuable
Users in a wide variety of situations find themselves with HTTP push
problems.  Oftentimes these issues are due to antivirus software,
filtering proxies, or other man-in-the-middle situations; other times,
they are due to simple unreliability of the network.

However, a common solution to HTTP push problems found online is to
increase http.postBuffer.  This works for none of the aforementioned
situations and is only useful in a small, highly restricted number of
cases: essentially, when the connection does not properly support
HTTP/1.1.

Document when raising this value is appropriate and what it actually
does, and discourage people from using it as a general solution for push
problems, since it is not effective there.

1b13e9032f doc: dissuade users from trying to ignore tracked files
It is quite common for users to want to ignore the changes to a file
that Git tracks.  Common scenarios for this case are IDE settings and
configuration files, which should generally not be tracked and possibly
generated from tracked files using a templating mechanism.

However, users learn about the assume-unchanged and skip-worktree bits
and try to use them to do this anyway.  This is problematic, because
when these bits are set, many operations behave as the user expects, but
they usually do not help when git checkout needs to replace a file.

There is no sensible behavior in this case, because sometimes the data
is precious, such as certain configuration files, and sometimes it is
irrelevant data that the user would be happy to discard.

Since this is not a supported configuration and users are prone to
misuse the existing features for unintended purposes, causing general
sadness and confusion, let's document the existing behavior and the
pitfalls in the documentation for git update-index so that users know
they should explore alternate solutions.

In addition, let's provide a recommended solution to dealing with the
common case of configuration files, since there are well-known
approaches used successfully in many environments.

69e104d70e doc: provide guidance on user.name format
It's a frequent misconception that the user.name variable controls
authentication in some way, and as a result, beginning users frequently
attempt to change it when they're having authentication troubles.
Document that the convention is that this variable represents some form
of a human's personal name, although that is not required.  In addition,
address concerns about whether Unicode is supported.

Use the term "personal name" as this is likely to draw the intended
contrast, be applicable across cultures which may have different naming
conventions, and be easily understandable to people who do not speak
English as their first language.  Indicate that "some form" is
conventionally used, as people may use a nickname or preferred name
instead of a full legal name.

Point users who may be confused about authentication to an appropriate
configuration option instead.  Provide a shortened form of this
information in the configuration option description.

813f6025a5 docs: expand on possible and recommended user config options
In the section on setting author and committer information, we omit the
author.* and committer.* variables, so mention them for completeness.
In addition, guide users to the typical case: simply setting user.name
and user.email, which are recommended if one does not need complex
configuration.

bc94e5862a doc: move author and committer information to git-commit(1)
While at one time it made perfect sense to store information about
configuring author and committer information in the documentation for
git commit-tree, in modern Git that operation is seldom used.  Most
users will use git commit and expect to find comprehensive documentation
about its use in the manual page for that command.

Considering that there is significant confusion about how one is to use
the user.name and user.email variables, let's put as much documentation
as possible into an obvious place where users will be more likely to
find it.

In addition, expand the environment variables section to describe their
use more fully.  Even though we now describe all of the options there
and in the configuration settings documentation, preserve the existing
text in git-commit.txt so that people can easily reason about the
ordering of the various options they can use.  Explain the use of the
author.* and committer.* options as well.

81e3db42f3 templates: fix deprecated type option --bool
The `--bool` option to `git-config` is marked as historical, and users are
recommended to use `--type=bool` instead. This commit replaces all occurrences
of `--bool` in the templates.

Also note that, no other deprecated type options are found, including `--int`,
`--bool-or-int`, `--path`, or `--expiry-date`.
