Apply some DRY principles in run_update_command() and don't have two
"switch" statements over "ud->update_strategy.type" determine the same
thing.
First we were setting "must_die_on_failure = 1" in all cases except
"SM_UPDATE_CHECKOUT" (and we'd BUG(...) out on the rest). This code
was added in c51f8f94e5 (submodule--helper: run update procedures
from C, 2021-08-24).
Then we'd duplicate same "switch" logic when we were using the
"must_die_on_failure" variable.
Let's instead have the "case" branches in that inner "switch"
determine whether or not the "update must continue" by picking an exit
code.
This also mostly avoids hardcoding the "128" exit code, instead we can
make use of the return value of the die_message() function, which
we've been calling here since 55b3f12cb5 (submodule update: use
die_message(), 2022-03-15). We're still hardcoding it to determine if
we "exit()", but subsequent commit(s) will address that.

Change the submodule_strategy_to_string() function added in
3604242f08 (submodule: port init from shell to C, 2016-04-15) to
really return a "const char *". In the "SM_UPDATE_COMMAND" case it
would return a strbuf_detach().
Furthermore, this function would return NULL on SM_UPDATE_UNSPECIFIED,
so it wasn't safe to xstrdup() its return value in the general case,
or to use it in a sprintf() format as the code removed in the
preceding commit did.
But its callers would never call it with either SM_UPDATE_UNSPECIFIED
or SM_UPDATE_COMMAND. Let's have its behavior reflect how its only
user expects it to behave, and BUG() out on the rest.
By doing this we can also stop needlessly xstrdup()-ing and free()-ing
the memory for the config we're setting. We can instead always use
constant strings. We can also use the *_tmp() variant of
git_config_get_string().
Let's also rename this submodule_strategy_to_string() function to
submodule_update_type_to_string(). Now that it's only tasked with
returning a string version of the "enum submodule_update_type type".
Before it would look at the "command" field in "struct

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 ;-)

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 1e4ffc765d (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.

Remove the PPC_SHA1 implementation added in a6ef3518f9 ([PATCH] PPC
assembly implementation of SHA1, 2005-04-22). When this was added
Apple consumer hardware used the PPC architecture, and the
implementation was intended to improve SHA-1 speed there.
Since it was added we've moved to using sha1collisiondetection by
default, and anyone wanting hard-rolled non-DC SHA-1 implementation
can use OpenSSL's via the OPENSSL_SHA1 knob.
The PPC_SHA1 originally originally targeted 32 bit PPC, and later the
64 bit PPC 970 (a.k.a. Apple PowerPC G5). See 926172c5e4 (block-sha1:
improve code on large-register-set machines, 2009-08-10) for a
reference about the performance on G5 (a comment in block-sha1/sha1.c
being removed here).
I can't get it to do anything but segfault on both the BE and LE POWER
machines in the GCC compile farm[1]. Anyone who's concerned about
performance on PPC these days is likely to be using the IBM POWER
processors.
There have been proposals to entirely remove non-sha1collisiondetection
implementations from the tree[2]. I think per [3] that would be a bit
overzealous. I.e. there are various set-ups git's speed is going to be
more important than the relatively implausible SHA-1 collision attack,
or where such attacks are entirely mitigated by other means (e.g. by
incoming objects being checked with DC_SHA1).
But that really doesn't apply to PPC_SHA1 in particular, which seems
to have outlived its usefulness.
As this gets rid of the only in-tree *.S assembly file we can remove
the small bits of logic from the Makefile needed to build objects
from *.S (as opposed to *.c)
The code being removed here was also throwing warnings with the
"-pedantic" flag, it could have been fixed as 544d93bc3b (block-sha1:
remove use of obsolete x86 assembly, 2022-03-10) did for block-sha1/*,
but as noted above let's remove it instead.

Since ee69e7884e (gc: use temporary file for editing crontab,

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

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.

Back when 1a9d15db25 (tempfile: a new module for handling temporary
files, 2015-08-10) added this comment, tempfile structs were held in
memory for the life of a process, and there were various guarantees
about which fields were valid in which states.
Since 422a21c6a0 (tempfile: remove deactivated list entries, 2017-09-05)
and 076aa2cbda (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap, 2017-09-05),
the flow is quite different: objects come and go from the list, and
inactive ones are deallocated. And the previous commit removed the
"active" flag from the struct entirely.
Let's bring the comment up to date with the current code.

Our tempfile struct contains an "active" flag. Long ago, this flag was
important: tempfile structs were always allocated for the lifetime of
the program and added to a global linked list, and the active flag was
what told us whether a struct's tempfile needed to be cleaned up on
exit.
But since 422a21c6a0 (tempfile: remove deactivated list entries,
2017-09-05) and 076aa2cbda (tempfile: auto-allocate tempfiles on heap,
2017-09-05), we actually remove items from the list, and the active flag
is generally always set to true for any allocated struct. We set it to
true in all of the creation functions, and in the normal code flow it
becomes false only in deactivate_tempfile(), which then immediately
frees the struct.
So the flag isn't performing that role anymore, and in fact makes things
more confusing. Dscho noted that delete_tempfile() is a noop for an
inactive struct. Since 076aa2cbda taught it to free the struct when
deactivating, we'd leak any struct whose active flag is unset. But in
practice it's not a leak, because again, we'll free when we unset the
flag, and never see the allocated-but-inactive state.
Can we just get rid of the flag? The answer is yes, but it requires
looking at a few other spots:
1. I said above that the flag only becomes false before we deallocate,
but there's one exception: when we call remove_tempfiles() from a
signal or atexit handler, we unset the active flag as we remove
each file. This isn't important for delete_tempfile(), as nobody
would call it anymore, since we're exiting.
It does in theory provide us some protection against racily
double-removing a tempfile. If we receive a second signal while we
are already in the cleanup routines, we'll start the cleanup loop
again, and may visit the same tempfile. But this race already
exists, because calling unlink() and unsetting the active flag
aren't atomic! And it's OK in practice, because unlink() is
idempotent (barring the unlikely event that some other process
chooses our exact temp filename in that instant).
So dropping the active flag widens the race a bit, but it was
already there, and is fairly harmless in practice. If we really
care about addressing it, the right thing is probably to block
further signals while we're doing our cleanup (which we could
actually do atomically).
2. The active flag is declared as "volatile sig_atomic_t". The idea is
that it's the final bit that gets set to tell the cleanup routines
that the tempfile is ready to be used (or not used), and it's safe
to receive a signal racing with regular code which adds or removes
a tempfile from the list.
In practice, I don't think this is buying us anything. The presence
on the linked list is really what tells the cleanup routines to
look at the struct. That is already marked as "volatile". It's not
a sig_atomic_t, so it's possible that we could see a sheared write
there as an entry is added or removed. But that is true of the
current code, too! Before we can even look at the "active" flag,
we'd have to follow a link to the struct itself. If we see a
sheared write in the pointer to the struct, then we'll look at
garbage memory anyway, and there's not much we can do.
This patch removes the active flag entirely, using presence on the
global linked list as an indicator that a tempfile ought to be cleaned
up. We are already careful to add to the list as the final step in
activating. On deactivation, we'll make sure to remove from the list as
the first step, before freeing any fields. The use of the volatile
keyword should mean that those things happen in the expected order.

When using the non-built-in version of `git add -p` in a `NO_PERL`
build, we expect that invocation to fail.
However, when b02fdbc80a (pathspec: correct an empty string used as a
pathspec element, 2022-05-29) added a test case to t6132 to exercise
`git add -p`, it did not add appropriate prereqs (which admittedly did
not exist back then).
Let's specify the appropriate prereqs.

In the interactive `add` operation, users can choose to jump to specific
hunks, and Git will present the hunk list in that case. To avoid showing
too many lines at once, only a maximum of 21 hunks are shown, skipping
the "mode change" pseudo hunk.
The comparison performed to skip the "mode change" pseudo hunk (if any)
compares a signed integer `i` to the unsigned value `mode_change` (which
can be 0 or 1 because it is a 1-bit type).
According to section 6.3.1.8 of the C99 standard (see e.g.
https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/WG14/www/docs/n1256.pdf), what should
happen is an automatic conversion of the "lesser" type to the "greater"
type, but since the types differ in signedness, it is ill-defined what
is the correct "usual arithmetic conversion".
Which means that Visual C's behavior can (and does) differ from GCC's:
When compiling Git using the latter, `add -p`'s `goto` command shows no
hunks by default because it casts a negative start offset to a pretty
large unsigned value, breaking the "goto hunk" test case in
`t3701-add-interactive.sh`.
Let's avoid that by converting the unsigned bit explicitly to a signed
integer.
Note: This is a long-standing bug in the Visual C build of Git, but it
has never been caught because t3701 is skipped when `NO_PERL` is set,
which is the case in the `vs-test` jobs of Git's CI runs.

Commit e4319562bc (trailer: be stricter in parsing separators, 2016-11-02)
restricted whitespaces allowed by `git interpret-trailers` in the "token"
part of the trailers it reads. This commit didn't update the related
documentation in Documentation/git-interpret-trailers.txt though.
Also commit 60ef86a162 (trailer: support values folded to multiple lines,
2016-10-21) updated the documentation, but didn't make it clear how many
whitespace characters are allowed at the beginning of new lines in folded
values.
Let's fix both of these issues by rewriting the paragraph describing
what whitespaces are allowed by `git interpret-trailers` in the trailers
it reads.
