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.

We check that git.html exists, regardless of the page the user wants to open.
Checking whether the requested page exists instead gives us a smoother user
experience in two use cases:
1) The requested page doesn't exist
When calling a git command and there is an error, most users reasonably expect
git to produce an error message on the standard error stream, but in this case
we pass the filepath to git web--browse which passes it on to a browser (or a
helper program like xdg-open or start that should in turn open a browser)
without any error and many GUI based browsers or helpers won't output such a
message onto the standard error stream.
Especially the helper programs tend to show the corresponding error message in
a message box and wait for user input before exiting. This leaves users in
interactive console sessions without an error message in their console,
without a console prompt and without the help page they expected.
2) git.html is missing for some reason, but the user asked for some other page
We currently refuse to show any local html help page when we can't find
git.html. Even if the requested help page exists. If we check for the requested
page instead, we can show the user all available pages and only error out on
those that don't exist.

`mkdir -m` can't represent a valid ACL directly and fails with

As was noted in 1a85b49b87 (parse-options: make OPT_ARGUMENT() more
useful, 2019-03-14) there's only ever been one user of the
OPT_ARGUMENT(), that user was added in 20de316e33 (difftool: allow
running outside Git worktrees with --no-index, 2019-03-14).
The OPT_ARGUMENT() feature itself was added way back in
580d5bffde (parse-options: new option type to treat an option-like
parameter as an argument., 2008-03-02), but as discussed in
1a85b49b87 wasn't used until 20de316e33 in 2019.
Now that the preceding commit has migrated this code over to using
"struct strvec" to manage the "args" member of a "struct
child_process", we can just use that directly instead of relying on
OPT_ARGUMENT.
This has a minor change in behavior in that if we'll pass --no-index
we'll now always pass it as the first argument, before we'd pass it in
whatever position the caller did. Preserving this was the real value
of OPT_ARGUMENT(), but as it turns out we didn't need that either. We
can always inject it as the first argument, the other end will parse
it just the same.
Note that we cannot remove the "out" and "cpidx" members of "struct
parse_opt_ctx_t" added in 580d5bffde, while they were introduced with
OPT_ARGUMENT() we since used them for other things.

Remove untracked files that are unwanted after they are done being used.
While the set of cases in this patch is certainly far from
comprehensive, it was motivated by some work to see what the fallout
would be if we were to make the removal of untracked files as a side
effect of other commands into an error. Some cases were a bit more
involved than the testcase changes included in this patch, but the ones
included here represent the simple cases. While this patch is not that
important since we are not changing the behavior of those other commands
into an error in the near term, I thought these changes were useful
anyway as an explicit documentation of the intent that these untracked
files are no longer useful.

When a client requests the v2 protocol over HTTP, they set the
Git-Protocol header. Webservers will generally make that available to
our CGI as HTTP_GIT_PROTOCOL in the environment. However, that's not
sufficient for upload-pack, etc, to respect it; they look in
GIT_PROTOCOL (without the HTTP_ prefix).
Either the webserver or the CGI is responsible for relaying that HTTP
header into the GIT_PROTOCOL variable. Traditionally, our tests have
configured the webserver to do so, but that's a burden on the server
admin. We can make this work out of the box by having the http-backend
CGI copy the contents of HTTP_GIT_PROTOCOL to GIT_PROTOCOL.
There are no new tests here. By removing the SetEnvIf line from our
test Apache config, we're now relying on this behavior of http-backend
to trigger the v2 protocol there (and there are numerous tests that fail
if this doesn't work).
There is one subtlety here: we copy HTTP_GIT_PROTOCOL only if there is
no existing GIT_PROTOCOL variable. That leaves the webserver admin free
to override the client's decision if they choose. This is unlikely to be
useful in practice, but is more flexible. And indeed, it allows the
v2-to-v0 fallback test added in the previous commit to continue working.

Since we use the v2 protocol by default, the connection of a v2 client
to a v2 server is well covered by the test suite. And with the
GIT_TEST_PROTOCOL_VERSION knob, we can easily test a v0 client
connecting to a v2-aware server (which will then just speak v0). But we
have no regular tests that a v2 client, when encountering a non-v2-aware
server, will correctly fall back to using v0.
In theory this is a job for the cross-version tests in t/interop, but:
- they cover only git:// and file:// clones
- they are not part of the usual test suite, so nobody ever runs them
anyway
Since using v2 over http requires configuring the web server to pass
along the Git-Protocol header, we can easily create a situation where
the server does not respect the v2 probe, and the conversation falls
back to v0.
This works just fine. This new test is not about fixing any particular
bug, but just making sure that the system works (and continues to work)
as expected.

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.

Merge conflicts happen often enough to want to avoid expanding a sparse
index when they happen, as long as those conflicts are within the
sparse-checkout cone. If a conflict exists outside of the
sparse-checkout cone, then we still need to expand before iterating over
the index entries. This is critical to do in advance because of how the
original_cache_nr is tracked to allow inserting and replacing cache
entries.
Iterate over the conflicted files and check if any paths are outside of
the sparse-checkout cone. If so, then expand the full index.

Allow 'git merge' to operate without expanding a sparse index, at least
not immediately. The index still will be expanded in a few cases:
1. If the merge strategy is 'recursive', then we enable
command_requires_full_index at the start of the merge_recursive()
method. We expect sparse-index users to also have the 'ort' strategy
enabled.
2. With the 'ort' strategy, if the merge results in a conflicted file,
then we expand the index before updating the working tree. The loop
that iterates over the worktree replaces index entries and tracks
'origintal_cache_nr' which can become completely wrong if the index
expands in the middle of the operation. This safety valve is
important before that loop starts. A later change will focus this
to only expand if we indeed have a conflict outside of the
sparse-checkout cone.
3. Other merge strategies are executed as a 'git merge-X' subcommand,
and those strategies are currently protected with the
'command_requires_full_index' guard.
Some test updates are required, including a mistaken 'git checkout -b'
that did not specify the base branch, causing merges to be fast-forward
merges.
