Make CALLOC_ARRAY usable like a function by requiring callers to supply
the trailing semicolon, which all of the current ones already do. With
the extra semicolon e.g. the following code wouldn't compile because it
disconnects the "else" from the "if":
if (condition)
CALLOC_ARRAY(ptr, n);
else
whatever();

When 98ea309b3f (mergetool: add hideResolved configuration,
2021-02-09) introduced the mergetool.hideResolved setting to reduce
the clutter in viewing non-conflicted sections of files in a
mergetool, it enabled it by default, explaining:
No adverse effects were noted in a small survey of popular mergetools[1]
so this behavior defaults to `true`.
In practice, alas, adverse effects do appear. A few issues:
1. No indication is shown in the UI that the base, local, and remote
versions shown have been modified by additional resolution. This
is inherent in the design: the idea of mergetool.hideResolved is to
convince a mergetool that expects pristine local, base, and remote
files to show partially resolved verisons of those files instead;
there is no additional source of information accessible to the
mergetool to see where the resolution has happened.
(By contrast, a mergetool generating the partial resolution from
conflict markers for itself would be able to hilight the resolved
sections with a different color.)
A user accustomed to seeing the files without partial resolution
gets no indication that this behavior has changed when they upgrade
Git.
2. If the computed merge did not line up the files correctly (for
example due to repeated sections in the file), the partially
resolved files can be misleading and do not have enough information
to reconstruct what happened and compute the correct merge result.
3. Resolving a conflict can involve information beyond the textual
conflict. For example, if the local and remote versions added
overlapping functionality in different ways, seeing the full
unresolved versions of each alongside the base gives information
about each side's intent that makes it possible to come up with a
resolution that combines those two intents. By contrast, when
starting with partially resolved versions of those files, one can
produce a subtly wrong resolution that includes redundant extra
code added by one side that is not needed in the approach taken
on the other.
All that said, a user wanting to focus on textual conflicts with
reduced clutter can still benefit from mergetool.hideResolved=true as
a way to deemphasize sections of the code that resolve cleanly without
requiring any changes to the invoked mergetool. The caveats described
above are reduced when the user has explicitly turned this on, because
then the user is aware of them.
Flip the default to 'false'.

Every %(describe) placeholder in $Format:...$ strings in files with the
attribute export-subst is expanded by calling git describe. This can
potentially result in a lot of such calls per archive. That's OK for
local repositories under control of the user of git archive, but could
be a problem for hosted repositories.
Expand only a single %(describe) placeholder per archive for now to
avoid denial-of-service attacks. We can make this limit configurable
later if needed, but let's start out simple.

In 552955ed7f ("clone: use more conventional config/option layering",
2020-10-01), clone learned to read configuration options earlier in its
execution, before creating the new repository. However, that led to a
problem: if the core.bare setting is set to false in the global config,
cloning a bare repository segfaults. This happens because the
repository is falsely thought to be non-bare, but clone has set the work
tree to NULL, which is then dereferenced.
The code to initialize the repository already considers the fact that a
user might want to override the --bare option for git init, but it
doesn't take into account clone, which uses a different option. Let's
just check that the work tree is not NULL, since that's how clone
indicates that the repository is bare. This is also the case for git
init, so we won't be regressing that case.

When checking whether a commit was rewritten to a single object id, we
use a glob that insists on a 40-hex result. This works for sha1, but
fails t7003 when run with GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256.
Since the previous commit simplified the case statement here, we only
have two arms: an empty string or a single object id. We can just loosen
our glob to match anything, and still distinguish those cases (we lose
the ability to notice bogus input, but that's not a problem; we are the
one who wrote the map in the first place, and anyway update-ref will
complain loudly if the input isn't a valid hash).

When a ref maps to a commit that is neither rewritten nor kept by
filter-branch (e.g., because it was eliminated by rev-list's pathspec
selection), we rewrite it to its nearest ancestor.
Since the initial commit in 6f6826c52b (Add git-filter-branch,
2007-06-03), we have warned when there are multiple such ancestors in
the map file. However, the warning code is impossible to trigger these
days. Since a0e46390d3 (filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with
--subdirectory-filter, 2008-08-12), we find the ancestor using "rev-list
-1", so it can only ever have a single value.
This code is made doubly confusing by the fact that we append to the map
file when mapping ancestors. However, this can never yield multiple
values because:
- we explicitly check whether the map already exists, and if so, do
nothing (so our "append" will always be to a file that does not
exist)
- even if we were to try mapping twice, the process to do so is
deterministic. I.e., we'd always end up with the same ancestor for a
given sha1. So warning about it would be pointless; there is no
ambiguity.
So swap out the warning code for a BUG (which we'll simplify further in
the next commit). And let's stop using the append operator to make the
ancestor-mapping code less confusing.

After it has rewritten all of the commits, filter-branch will then
rewrite each of the input refs based on the resulting map of old/new
commits. But we don't have any explicit test coverage of this code.
Let's make sure we are covering each of those cases:
- deleting a ref when all of its commits were pruned
- rewriting a ref based on the mapping (this happens throughout the
script, but let's make sure we generate the correct messages)
- rewriting a ref whose tip was excluded, in which case we rewrite to
the nearest ancestor. Note in this case that we still insist that no
"warning" line is present (even though it looks like we'd trigger
the "... was rewritten into multiple commits" one). See the next
commit for more details.
Note these all pass currently, but the latter two will fail when run
with GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256.

The code to fsck objects received across multiple packs during a

feature was in use. A workaround has been added by disabling the
codepath to avoid keeping a packfile that is too small.
* jt/transfer-fsck-across-packs-fix:
fetch-pack: do not mix --pack_header and packfile uri
Clang no longer produces a libFuzzer.a. Instead, you can include
libFuzzer by using -fsanitize=fuzzer. Therefore we should use that in
the example command for building fuzzers.
We also add -fsanitize=fuzzer-no-link to the CFLAGS to ensure that all
the required instrumentation is added when compiling git [1], and remove
-fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc-guard as it is deprecated.
I happen to have tested with LLVM 11 - however -fsanitize=fuzzer appears
to work in a wide range of reasonably modern clangs.
(On my system: what used to be libFuzzer.a now lives under the following
path, which is tricky albeit not impossible for a novice such as myself
to find:
/usr/lib64/clang/11.0.0/lib/linux/libclang_rt.fuzzer-x86_64.a )

The semantic patch would generate flip-flop diffs if both arguments
are sizeofs. We don't have such a case, and it's hard to imagine
the usefulness of such an allocation. If it ever occurs then we
could deal with it by duplicating the rule in the semantic patch to
make it cancel itself out, or we could change the code to use

When fetching (as opposed to cloning) from a repository with packfile
URIs enabled, an error like this may occur:
fatal: pack has bad object at offset 12: unknown object type 5
fatal: finish_http_pack_request gave result -1
fatal: fetch-pack: expected keep then TAB at start of http-fetch output
This bug was introduced in b664e9ffa1 ("fetch-pack: with packfile URIs,
use index-pack arg", 2021-02-22), when the index-pack args used when
processing the inline packfile of a fetch response and when processing
packfile URIs were unified.
This bug happens because fetch, by default, partially reads (and
consumes) the header of the inline packfile to determine if it should
store the downloaded objects as a packfile or loose objects, and thus
passes --pack_header=<...> to index-pack to inform it that some bytes
are missing. However, when it subsequently fetches the additional
packfiles linked by URIs, it reuses the same index-pack arguments, thus
wrongly passing --index-pack-arg=--pack_header=<...> when no bytes are
missing.
This does not happen when cloning because "git clone" always passes
do_keep, which instructs the fetch mechanism to always retain the
packfile, eliminating the need to read the header.
There are a few ways to fix this, including filtering out pack_header
arguments when downloading the additional packfiles, but I decided to
stick to always using index-pack throughout when packfile URIs are
present - thus, Git no longer needs to read the bytes, and no longer
needs --pack_header here.

Stash entries can be made with untracked files via
`git stash push --include-untracked`. However, because the untracked
files are stored in the third parent of the stash entry and not the
stash entry itself, running `git stash show` does not include the
untracked files as part of the diff.
With --include-untracked, untracked paths, which are recorded in the
third-parent if it exists, are shown in addition to the paths that have
modifications between the stash base and the working tree in the stash.
It is possible to manually craft a malformed stash entry where duplicate
untracked files in the stash entry will mask tracked files. We detect
and error out in that case via a custom unpack_trees() callback:
stash_worktree_untracked_merge().
Also, teach stash the --only-untracked option which only shows the
untracked files of a stash entry. This is similar to `git show stash^3`
but it is nice to provide a convenient abstraction for it so that users
do not have to think about the underlying implementation.

There were some early changes in the 2.31 cycle to optimize some setup
in diffcore-rename.c[1], some later changes to measure performance[2],
and finally some significant changes to improve rename detection
performance. The final one was merged with the note
Performance optimization work on the rename detection continues.
That works for the commit log, but feels misleading as a release note
since all the changes were within one cycle. Simplify this to just
Performance improvements for rename detection.
The former wording could be seen as hinting that more performance
improvements will come in 2.32, which is true, but we can just cover
those in the 2.32 release notes when the time comes.

The following sequence, on a case-insensitive file system,
(strictly speeking with core.ignorecase=true)
leads to an assertion failure and leaves .git/index.lock behind.
git init
echo foo >foo
git add foo
git mv foo FOO
git mv foo bar
This regression was introduced in Commit 9b906af657,
"git-mv: improve error message for conflicted file"
The bugfix is to change the "file exist case-insensitive in the index"
into the correct "file exist (case-sensitive) in the index".
This avoids the "assert" later in the code and keeps setting up the
"ce" pointer for ce_stage(ce) done in the next else if.
