6d5e9e53aa bundle <cmd>: have usage_msg_opt() note the missing "<file>"
Improve the usage we emit on e.g. "git bundle create" to note why
we're showing the usage, it's because the "<file>" argument is
missing.

We know that'll be the case for all parse_options_cmd_bundle() users,
as they're passing the "char **bundle_file" parameter, which as the
context shows we're expected to populate.

e778ecbcee builtin/bundle.c: remove superfluous "newargc" variable
As noted in 891cb09db6 (bundle: don't segfault on "git bundle
<subcmd>", 2022-12-20) the "newargc" in this function is redundant to
using our own "argc". Let's refactor the function to avoid needlessly
introducing another variable.

891cb09db6 bundle: don't segfault on "git bundle <subcmd>"
Since aef7d75e58 (builtin/bundle.c: let parse-options parse
subcommands, 2022-08-19) we've been segfaulting if no argument was
provided.

The fix is easy, as all of the "git bundle" subcommands require a
non-option argument we can check that we have arguments left after
calling parse-options().

This makes use of code added in 73c3253d75 (bundle: framework for
options before bundle file, 2019-11-10), before this change that code
has always been unreachable. In 73c3253d75 we'd never reach it as we
already checked "argc < 2" in cmd_bundle() itself.

Then when aef7d75e58 (whose segfault we're fixing here) migrated this
code to the subcommand API it removed that "argc < 2" check, but we
were still checking the wrong "argc" in parse_options_cmd_bundle(), we
need to check the "newargc". The "argc" will always be >= 1, as it
will necessarily contain at least the subcommand name
itself (e.g. "create").

As an aside, this could be safely squashed into this, but let's not do
that for this minimal segfault fix, as it's an unrelated refactoring:

70334fc3eb bundle-uri: quiet failed unbundlings
When downloading a list of bundles in "all" mode, Git has no
understanding of the dependencies between the bundles. Git attempts to
unbundle the bundles in some order, but some may not pass the
verify_bundle() step because of missing prerequisites. This is passed as
error messages to the user, even when they eventually succeed in later
attempts after their dependent bundles are unbundled.

Add a new VERIFY_BUNDLE_QUIET flag to verify_bundle() that avoids the
error messages from the missing prerequisite commits. The method still
returns the number of missing prerequisit commits, allowing callers to
unbundle() to notice that the bundle failed to apply.

Use this flag in bundle-uri.c and test that the messages go away for
'git clone --bundle-uri' commands.

In 73c3253d75 (bundle: framework for options before bundle file,
2019-11-10) the "git bundle" command was refactored to use
parse_options(). In that refactoring it started understanding the
"--verbose" flag before the subcommand, e.g.:

    git bundle --verbose verify --quiet

However, nothing ever did anything with this "verbose" variable, and
the change wasn't documented. It appears to have been something that
escaped the lab, and wasn't flagged by reviewers at the time. Let's
just remove it.

d941cc4c34 bundle: show progress on "unbundle"
The "unbundle" command added in 2e0afafebd (Add git-bundle: move
objects and references by archive, 2007-02-22) did not show progress
output, even though the underlying API learned how to show progress in
be042aff24 (Teach progress eye-candy to fetch_refs_from_bundle(),
2011-09-18).

Now we'll show "Unbundling objects" using the new --progress-title
option to "git index-pack", to go with its existing "Receiving
objects" and "Indexing objects" (which it shows when invoked with
"--stdin", and with a pack file, respectively).

Unlike "git bundle create" we don't handle "--quiet" here, nor
"--all-progress" and "--all-progress-implied". Those are all specific
to "create" (and "verify", in the case of "--quiet").

The structure of the existing documentation is a bit unclear, e.g. the
documentation for the "--quiet" option added in
79862b6b77 (bundle-create: progress output control, 2019-11-10) only
describes how it works for "create", and not for "verify". That and
other issues in it should be fixed, but I'd like to avoid untangling
that mess right now. Let's just support the standard "--no-progress"
implicitly here, and leave cleaning up the general behavior of "git
bundle" for a later change.

instead through new "extra_index_pack_args" parameter. The flexibility
of being able to pass arbitrary arguments to "unbundle" will be used
in a subsequent commit.

10b635b773 bundle: remove "ref_list" in favor of string-list.c API
Move away from the "struct ref_list" in bundle.c in favor of the
almost identical string-list.c API.

That API fits this use-case perfectly, but did not exist in its
current form when this code was added in 2e0afafebd (Add git-bundle:
move objects and references by archive, 2007-02-22), with hindsight we
could have used the path-list API, which later got renamed to
string-list. See 8fd2cb4069 (Extract helper bits from
c-merge-recursive work, 2006-07-25)

We need to change "name" to "string" and "oid" to "util" to make this
conversion, but other than that the APIs are pretty much identical for
what bundle.c made use of.

Let's also replace the memset(..,0,...) pattern with a more idiomatic
"INIT" macro, and finally add a *_release() function so to free the
allocated memory.

Before this the add_to_ref_list() would leak memory, now e.g. "bundle
list-heads" reports no memory leaks at all under valgrind.

In the bundle_header_init() function we're using a clever trick to
memcpy() what we'd get from the corresponding
BUNDLE_HEADER_INIT. There is a concurrent series to make use of that
pattern more generally, see [1].

db6bfb9fe8 bundle cmd: stop leaking memory from parse_options_cmd_bundle()
Fix a memory leak from the prefix_filename() function introduced with
its use in 3b754eedd5 (bundle: use prefix_filename with bundle path,
2017-03-20).

As noted in that commit the leak was intentional as a part of being
sloppy about freeing resources just before we exit, I'm changing this
because I'll be fixing other memory leaks in the bundle API (including
the library version) in subsequent commits. It's easier to reason
about those fixes if valgrind runs cleanly at the end without any
leaks whatsoever.

An earlier version of this change[1] went out of its way to not leak
memory on the die() codepaths here, but doing so will only avoid
reports of potential leaks under heap-only leak trackers such as
valgrind, not the SANITIZE=leak mode.

Avoiding those leaks as well might be useful to enable us to run
cleanly under the likes of valgrind in the future. But for now the
relative verbosity of the resulting code, and the fact that we don't
have some valgrind or SANITIZE=leak mode as part of our CI (it's only
run ad-hoc, see [2]), means we're not worrying about that for now.

c5aecfc866 bundle: add new version for use with SHA-256
Currently we detect the hash algorithm in use by the length of the
object ID.  This is inelegant and prevents us from using a different
hash algorithm that is also 256 bits in length.

Since we cannot extend the v2 format in a backward-compatible way, let's
add a v3 format, which is identical, except for the addition of
capabilities, which are prefixed by an at sign.  We add "object-format"
as the only capability and reject unknown capabilities, since we do not
have a network connection and therefore cannot negotiate with the other
side.

For compatibility, default to the v2 format for SHA-1 and require v3
for SHA-256.

In t5510, always use format v3 so we can be sure we produce consistent
results across hash algorithms.  Since head -n N lists the top N lines
instead of the Nth line, let's run our output through sed to normalize
it and compare it against a fixed value, which will make sure we get
exactly what we're expecting.

22f9b7f3f5 strvec: convert builtin/ callers away from argv_array name
We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).

This patch converts all of the files in builtin/ to keep the diff to a
manageable size.

The conversion was done purely mechanically with:

  git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
  xargs perl -i -pe '
    s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
    s/argv_array/strvec/g;
  '

and then selectively staging files with "git add builtin/". We'll deal
with any indentation/style fallouts separately.

3b754eedd5 bundle: use prefix_filename with bundle path
We may take the path to a bundle file as an argument, and
need to adjust the filename based on the prefix we
discovered while setting up the git directory. We do so
manually into a fixed-size buffer, but using
prefix_filename() is the normal way.

Besides being more concise, there are two subtle
improvements:

  1. The original inserted a "/" between the two paths, even
     though the "prefix" argument always has the "/"
     appended. That means that:

       cd subdir && git bundle verify ../foo.bundle

     was looking at (and reporting) subdir//../foo.bundle.
     Harmless, but ugly.  Using prefix_filename() gets this
     right.

  2. The original checked for an absolute path by looking
     for a leading '/'. It should have been using
     is_absolute_path(), which also covers more cases on
     Windows (backslashes and dos drive prefixes).

     But it's easier still to just pass the name to
     prefix_filename(), which handles this case
     automatically.

Note that we'll just leak the resulting buffer in the name
of simplicity, since it needs to last through the duration
of the program anyway.

be042aff24 Teach progress eye-candy to fetch_refs_from_bundle()
With the usual "git" transport, a large-ish transfer with "git fetch" and
"git pull" give progress eye-candy to avoid boring users.  However, not
when they are reading from a bundle. I.e.

    $ git pull ../git-bundle.bndl master

This teaches bundle.c:unbundle() to give "-v" option to index-pack and
tell it to give progress bar when transport decides it is necessary.

The operation in the other direction, "git bundle create", could also
learn to honor --quiet but that is a separate issue.

2cb60093e6 bundle: run setup_git_directory_gently() sooner
Without this change, “git -p bundle” does not always
respect the repository-local “[core] pager” setting.

It is hard to notice because subcommands other than
“git bundle unbundle” do not produce much output.

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
