When installing p4 as a dependency, we used to pipe output of "p4 -V"
and "p4d -V" to validate the installation and output a condensed version
information. But this would hide potential errors of p4 and would stop
with an empty output. E.g.: p4d version 16.2 running on ubuntu 22.04
causes sigfaults, even before it produces any output.
By removing the pipe after "p4 -V" and "p4d -V", we may get a
verbose output, and stop immediately on errors because we have "set
-e" in "ci/lib.sh". Since we won't look at these trace logs unless
something fails, just including the raw output seems most sensible.

GitHub starts to upgrade its runner image "ubuntu-latest" from version
"ubuntu-20.04" to version "ubuntu-22.04". It will fail to find and
install "gcc-8" package on the new runner image.
Change some of the runner images from "ubuntu-latest" to "ubuntu-20.04"
in order to install "gcc-8" as a dependency.
The first revision of this patch tried to replace "$runs_on_pool" in
"ci/*.sh" with a new "$runs_on_os" environment variable based on the
"os" field in the matrix strategy. But these "os" fields in matrix
strategies are obsolete legacies from commit [1] and commit [2], and
are no longer useful. So remove these unused "os" fields.

Per 33665d98e6 (reftable: make assignments portable to AIX xlc

".a = { .b = *c }" instead.

The C99 section of the CodingGuidelines is a good overview of what we
can use, but is sorely lacking in what we can't use. Something that
comes up occasionally is the portability of %z.
Per [1] we couldn't use it for the longest time due to MSVC not
supporting it, but nowadays by requiring C99 we rely on the MSVC
version that does, but we can't use it yet because a C library that
MinGW uses doesn't support it.

Since 44ba10d671 (revision: use C99 declaration of variable in for()
loop, 2021-11-14) released with v2.35.0 we've had a variable declared
with in a for loop.
Since then we've had inadvertent follow-ups to that with at least
cb2607759e (merge-ort: store more specific conflict information,
2022-06-18) released with v2.38.0.
As November 2022 is within the window of this upcoming release,
let's update the guideline to allow this. We can have the promised
"revisit" discussion while this patch cooks, and drop it if it turns
out that it is still premature, which is not expected to happen at

The first use of variables in initializer elements appears to have
been 2b6854c863 (Cleanup variables in cat-file, 2007-04-21) released
with v1.5.2.
Some of those caused portability issues, and e.g. that "cat-file" use
was changed in 66dbfd55e3 (Rewrite dynamic structure initializations
to runtime assignment, 2010-05-14) which went out with v1.7.2.
But curiously 66dbfd55e3 missed some of them, e.g. an archive.c use
added in d5f53d6d6f (archive: complain about path specs that don't
match anything, 2009-12-12), and another one in merge-index.c (later
builtin/merge-index.c) in 0077138cd9 (Simplify some instances of
run_command() by using run_command_v_opt()., 2009-06-08).
As far as I can tell there's been no point since 2b6854c863 in 2007
where a compiler that didn't support this has been able to compile
git. Presumably 66dbfd55e3 was an attempt to make headway with wider
portability that ultimately wasn't completed.
In any case, we are thoroughly reliant on this syntax at this point,
so let's update the guidelines, see
https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqy1tunjgp.fsf@gitster.g/ for the
initial discussion.

Since 7bc341e21b (git-compat-util: add a test balloon for C99
support, 2021-12-01) we've had a hard dependency on C99, but the prose
in CodingGuidelines was written under the assumption that we were
using C89 with a few C99 features.
As the updated prose notes we'd still like to hold off on novel C99
features, but let's make it clear that we target that C version, and
then enumerate new C99 features that are safe to use.

Add the "-Wno-missing-braces" option when building with an old version
of clang to suppress the "suggest braces around initialization" error
in developer mode.
For example, using an old version of clang gives the following errors
(when in DEVELOPER=1 mode):
$ make builtin/merge-file.o
CC builtin/merge-file.o
builtin/merge-file.c:29:23: error: suggest braces around initialization \
of subobject [-Werror,-Wmissing-braces]
mmfile_t mmfs[3] = { 0 };
^
{}
builtin/merge-file.c:31:20: error: suggest braces around initialization \
of subobject [-Werror,-Wmissing-braces]
xmparam_t xmp = { 0 };
^
{}
2 errors generated.
This example compiles without error/warning with updated versions of
clang. Since this is an obsolete error, use the -Wno-missing-braces
option to silence the warning when using an older compiler. This
avoids the need to update the code to use "{{0}}" style
initializations.
Upstream clang version 8 has the problem. It was fixed in version 9.
The version of clang distributed by Apple with XCode has its own
unique set of version numbers. Apple clang version 11 has the
problem. It was fixed in version 12.

When the repository does not yet have commits, some errors describe that
there is no branch:
$ git init -b first
$ git branch --edit-description first
error: No branch named 'first'.
$ git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream
fatal: branch 'first' does not exist
$ git branch -c second
error: refname refs/heads/first not found
fatal: Branch copy failed
That "first" branch is unborn but to say it doesn't exists is confusing.
Options "-c" (copy) and "-m" (rename) show the same error when the
origin branch doesn't exists:
$ git branch -c non-existent-branch second
error: refname refs/heads/non-existent-branch not found
fatal: Branch copy failed
$ git branch -m non-existent-branch second
error: refname refs/heads/non-existent-branch not found
fatal: Branch rename failed
Note that "--edit-description" without an explicit argument is already
considering the _empty repository_ circumstance in its error. Also note
that "-m" on the initial branch it is an allowed operation.
Make the error descriptions for those branch operations with unborn or
non-existent branches, more informative.
This is the result of the change:
$ git init -b first
$ git branch --edit-description first
error: No commit on branch 'first' yet.
$ git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream
fatal: No commit on branch 'first' yet.
$ git branch -c second
fatal: No commit on branch 'first' yet.
$ git branch [-c/-m] non-existent-branch second
fatal: No branch named 'non-existent-branch'.

Two documentation issues exist in the technical docs for the bundle URI
feature.
First, there is an extraneous "the" across a linebreak, making the
nonsensical phrase "the bundle the list" which should just be "the
bundle list".
Secondly, the asciidoc update treats the string "`have`s" as starting a
"<code>" block, but the second tick is interpreted as an apostrophe
instead of a closing "</code>" tag. This causes entire sentences to be
formatted as code until the next one comes along. Simply adding a space
here does not work properly as the rendered HTML keeps that space.
Instead, restructure the sentence slightly to avoid using a plural,
allowing the HTML to render correctly.
