In the short help output from "git reset -h", the recently added
"--[no-]refresh" option is shown like so:
--refresh skip refreshing the index after reset
which explains what happens when the option is given in the negative
form, i.e. "--no-refresh". We could rephrase the explanation to
read "refresh the index after reset (default)" to hint that the user
can say "--no-refresh" to override the default, but listing the
"--no-refresh" form in the list of options would be more helpful.

Remove the 'reset.refresh' option, requiring that users explicitly specify
'--no-refresh' if they want to skip refreshing the index.
The 'reset.refresh' option was introduced in 101cee42dd (reset: introduce
--[no-]refresh option to --mixed, 2022-03-11) as a replacement for the
refresh-skipping behavior originally controlled by 'reset.quiet'.
Although 'reset.refresh=false' functionally served the same purpose as
'reset.quiet=true', it exposed [1] the fact that the existence of a global
"skip refresh" option could potentially cause problems for users. Allowing a
global config option to avoid refreshing the index forces scripts using 'git
reset --mixed' to defensively use '--refresh' if index refresh is expected;
if that option is missing, behavior of a script could vary from user-to-user
without explanation.
Furthermore, globally disabling index refresh in 'reset --mixed' was
initially devised as a passive performance improvement; since the
introduction of the option, other changes have been made to Git (e.g., the
sparse index) with a greater potential performance impact without
sacrificing index correctness. Therefore, we can more aggressively err on
the side of correctness and limit the cases of skipping index refresh to
only when a user specifies the '--no-refresh' option.

Remove the 'reset.quiet' config option, remove '--no-quiet' documentation in
'Documentation/git-reset.txt'. In 4c3abd0551 (reset: add new reset.quiet
config setting, 2018-10-23), 'reset.quiet' was introduced as a way to
globally change the default behavior of 'git reset --mixed' to skip index
refresh.
However, now that '--quiet' does not affect index refresh, 'reset.quiet'
would only serve to globally silence logging. This was not the original
intention of the config setting, and there's no precedent for such a setting
in other commands with a '--quiet' option, so it appears to be obsolete.
In addition to the options & its documentation, remove 'reset.quiet' from
the recommended config for 'scalar'.

Update '--quiet' to no longer implicitly skip refreshing the index in a
mixed reset. Users now have the ability to explicitly disable refreshing the
index with the '--no-refresh' option, so they no longer need to use
'--quiet' to do so. Moreover, we explicitly remove the refresh-skipping
behavior from '--quiet' because it is completely unrelated to the stated
purpose of the option: "Be quiet, only report errors."

Replace references to '--quiet' with '--no-refresh' in the advice on how to
skip refreshing the index. When the advice was introduced, '--quiet' was the
only way to avoid the expensive 'refresh_index(...)' at the end of a mixed
reset. After introducing '--no-refresh', however, '--quiet' became only a
fallback option for determining refresh behavior, overridden by
'--[no-]refresh' or 'reset.refresh' if either is set. To ensure users are

Add a new --[no-]refresh option that is intended to explicitly determine
whether a mixed reset should end in an index refresh.
Starting at 9ac8125d1a (reset: don't compute unstaged changes after reset
when --quiet, 2018-10-23), using the '--quiet' option results in skipping
the call to 'refresh_index(...)' at the end of a mixed reset with the goal
of improving performance. However, by coupling behavior that modifies the
index with the option that silences logs, there is no way for users to have
one without the other (i.e., silenced logs with a refreshed index) without
incurring the overhead of a separate call to 'git update-index --refresh'.
Furthermore, there is minimal user-facing documentation indicating that
--quiet skips the index refresh, potentially leading to unexpected issues
executing commands after 'git reset --quiet' that do not themselves refresh
the index (e.g., internals of 'git stash', 'git read-tree').
To mitigate these issues, '--[no-]refresh' and 'reset.refresh' are
introduced to provide a dedicated mechanism for refreshing the index. When
either is set, '--quiet' and 'reset.quiet' revert to controlling only
whether logs are silenced and do not affect index refresh.

Update the advice describing index refresh from "enumerate unstaged changes"
to "refresh the index." Describing 'refresh_index(...)' as "enumerating
unstaged changes" is not fully representative of what an index refresh is
doing; more generally, it updates the properties of index entries that are
affected by outside-of-index state, e.g. CE_UPTODATE, which is affected by
the file contents on-disk. This distinction is relevant to operations that
read the index but do not refresh first - e.g., 'git read-tree' - where a
stale index may cause incorrect behavior.
In addition to changing the advice message, use the "advise" function to
print advice.

"git update-index", "git checkout-index", and "git clean" are
taught to work better with the sparse checkout feature.
* vd/sparse-clean-etc:
update-index: reduce scope of index expansion in do_reupdate
update-index: integrate with sparse index
update-index: add tests for sparse-checkout compatibility
checkout-index: integrate with sparse index
checkout-index: add --ignore-skip-worktree-bits option
checkout-index: expand sparse checkout compatibility tests
clean: integrate with sparse index
reset: reorder wildcard pathspec conditions
reset: fix validation in sparse index test
Have the diff_free() function call clear_pathspec(). Since the
diff_flush() function calls this all its callers can be simplified to
rely on it instead.
When I added the diff_free() function in e900d494dc (diff: add an API
for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11) I simply missed this, or wasn't
interested in it. Let's consolidate this now. This means that any
future callers (and I've got revision.c in mind) that embed a "struct
diff_options" can simply call diff_free() instead of needing know that
it has an embedded pathspec.
This does fix a bunch of leaks, but I can't mark any test here as
passing under the SANITIZE=leak testing mode because in
886e1084d7 (builtin/: add UNLEAKs, 2017-10-01) an UNLEAK(rev) was
added, which plasters over the memory
leak. E.g. "t4011-diff-symlink.sh" would report fewer leaks with this
fix, but because of the UNLEAK() reports none.
I'll eventually loop around to removing that UNLEAK(rev) annotation as
I'll fix deeper issues with the revisions API leaking. This is one
small step on the way there, a new freeing function in revisions.c
will want to call this diff_free().

Various operating modes of "git reset" have been made to work
better with the sparse index.
* vd/sparse-reset:
unpack-trees: improve performance of next_cache_entry
reset: make --mixed sparse-aware
reset: make sparse-aware (except --mixed)
reset: integrate with sparse index
reset: expand test coverage for sparse checkouts
sparse-index: update command for expand/collapse test
reset: preserve skip-worktree bit in mixed reset
reset: rename is_missing to !is_in_reset_tree
Remove the `ensure_full_index` guard on `read_from_tree` and update `git
reset --mixed` to ensure it can use sparse directory index entries wherever
possible. Sparse directory entries are reset using `diff_tree_oid`, which
requires `change` and `add_remove` functions to process the internal
contents of the sparse directory. The `recursive` diff option handles cases
in which `reset --mixed` must diff/merge files that are nested multiple
levels deep in a sparse directory.
The use of pathspecs with `git reset --mixed` introduces scenarios in which
internal contents of sparse directories may be matched by the pathspec. In
order to reset *all* files in the repo that may match the pathspec, the
following conditions on the pathspec require index expansion before
performing the reset:
* "magic" pathspecs
* wildcard pathspecs that do not match only in-cone files or entire sparse
directories
* literal pathspecs matching something outside the sparse checkout
definition

Disable `command_requires_full_index` repo setting and add
`ensure_full_index` guards around code paths that cannot yet use sparse
directory index entries. `reset --soft` does not modify the index, so no
compatibility changes are needed for it to function without expanding the
index. For all other reset modes (`--mixed`, `--hard`, `--keep`, `--merge`),
the full index is expanded to prevent cache tree corruption and invalid
variable accesses.
Additionally, the `read_cache()` check verifying an uncorrupted index is
moved after argument parsing and preparing the repo settings. The index is
not used by the preceding argument handling, but `read_cache()` must be run
*after* enabling sparse index for the command (so that the index is not
expanded unnecessarily) and *before* using the index for reset (so that it
is verified as uncorrupted).

Change `update_index_from_diff` to set `skip-worktree` when applicable for
new index entries. When `git reset --mixed <tree-ish>` is run, entries in
the index with differences between the pre-reset HEAD and reset <tree-ish>
are identified and handled with `update_index_from_diff`. For each file, a
new cache entry in inserted into the index, created from the <tree-ish> side
of the reset (without changing the working tree). However, the newly-created
entry must have `skip-worktree` explicitly set in either of the following
scenarios:
1. the file is in the current index and has `skip-worktree` set
2. the file is not in the current index but is outside of a defined sparse
checkout definition
Not setting the `skip-worktree` bit leads to likely-undesirable results for
a user. It causes `skip-worktree` settings to disappear on the
"diff"-containing files (but *only* the diff-containing files), leading to
those files now showing modifications in `git status`. For example, when
running `git reset --mixed` in a sparse checkout, some file entries outside
of sparse checkout could show up as deleted, despite the user never deleting
anything (and not wanting them on-disk anyway).
Additionally, add a test to `t7102` to ensure `skip-worktree` is preserved
in a basic `git reset --mixed` scenario and update a failure-documenting
test from 19a0acc (t1092: test interesting sparse-checkout scenarios,
2021-01-23) with new expected behavior.

Traditionally, unpack_trees_options->reset was used to signal that it
was okay to delete any untracked files in the way. This was used by
`git read-tree --reset`, but then started appearing in other places as
well. However, many of the other uses should not be deleting untracked
files in the way. Change this value to an enum so that a value of 1
(i.e. "true") can be split into two:
UNPACK_RESET_PROTECT_UNTRACKED,
UNPACK_RESET_OVERWRITE_UNTRACKED
In order to catch accidental misuses (i.e. where folks call it the way
they traditionally used to), define the special enum value of
UNPACK_RESET_INVALID = 1
which will trigger a BUG().
Modify existing callers so that
read-tree --reset
reset --hard
checkout --force
continue using the UNPACK_RESET_OVERWRITE_UNTRACKED logic, while other
callers, including
am
checkout without --force
stash (though currently dead code; reset always had a value of 0)
numerous callers from rebase/sequencer to reset_head()
will use the new UNPACK_RESET_PROTECT_UNTRACKED value.
Also, note that it has been reported that 'git checkout <treeish>
<pathspec>' currently also allows overwriting untracked files[1]. That
case should also be fixed, but it does not use unpack_trees() and thus
is outside the scope of the current changes.

may make sense to add that option to more commands (and in the case of

Currently, every caller of unpack_trees() that wants to ensure ignored
files are overwritten by default needs to:
* allocate unpack_trees_options.dir
* flip the DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag in unpack_trees_options.dir->flags
* call setup_standard_excludes
AND then after the call to unpack_trees() needs to
* call dir_clear()
* deallocate unpack_trees_options.dir
That's a fair amount of boilerplate, and every caller uses identical
code. Make this easier by instead introducing a new boolean value where
the default value (0) does what we want so that new callers of
unpack_trees() automatically get the appropriate behavior. And move all
the handling of unpack_trees_options.dir into unpack_trees() itself.
While preserve_ignored = 0 is the behavior we feel is the appropriate
default, we defer fixing commands to use the appropriate default until a
later commit. So, this commit introduces several locations where we
manually set preserve_ignored=1. This makes it clear where code paths
were previously preserving ignored files when they should not have been;
a future commit will flip these to instead use a value of 0 to get the
behavior we want.

When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch
not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this:
git clone $URL client
cd client
git checkout @{u}
git status
no status is printed, but instead an error message:
fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch
(This error message when running "git branch" persists even after
checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.)
This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD
detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't
work because HEAD no longer points to a branch.
Therefore, when calculating the status of a worktree, tolerate dangling

The result was manually inspected and then reformatted to match the

by the script were manually transformed.

updated or not and a flag indicating if a skip-worktree bit could have
changed. These flags enable the hook to optimize its response to the
index change notification.

By default, index compat macros are off from now on, because they
could hide the_index dependency.
Only those in builtin can use it.

This case is more interesting than other boring "remove the_repo"
commits because while we need access to the object database, we cannot
simply use r->index because unpack-trees.c can operate on a temporary
index, not $GIT_DIR/index. Ideally we should be able to pass an object
database to lookup_tree() but that ship has sailed.

refresh_index() is done after a reset command as an optimization. Because
it can be an expensive call, warn the user if it takes more than 2 seconds
and tell them how to avoid it using the --quiet command line option or
reset.quiet config setting.

Add a reset.quiet config setting that sets the default value of the --quiet
flag when running the reset command. This enables users to change the
default behavior to take advantage of the performance advantages of
avoiding the scan for unstaged changes after reset. Defaults to false.

When git reset is run with the --quiet flag, don't bother finding any
additional unstaged changes as they won't be output anyway. This speeds up
the git reset command by avoiding having to lstat() every file looking for
changes that aren't going to be reported anyway.
The savings can be significant. In a repo on Windows with 200K files
"git reset" drops from 7.16 seconds to 0.32 seconds for a savings of 96%.

diff and textconv code has so widespread use that it's hard to simply
update their api and all call sites at once because it would result in
a big patch. For now reduce the_index references to two places:
diff_setup() and fill_textconv().

For a large tree, the index needs to hold many cache entries
allocated on heap. These cache entries are now allocated out of a
dedicated memory pool to amortize malloc(3) overhead.
* jm/cache-entry-from-mem-pool:
block alloc: add validations around cache_entry lifecyle
block alloc: allocate cache entries from mem_pool
mem-pool: fill out functionality
mem-pool: add life cycle management functions
mem-pool: only search head block for available space
block alloc: add lifecycle APIs for cache_entry structs
read-cache: teach make_cache_entry to take object_id
read-cache: teach refresh_cache_entry to take istate
It has been observed that the time spent loading an index with a large
number of entries is partly dominated by malloc() calls. This change
is in preparation for using memory pools to reduce the number of
malloc() calls made to allocate cahce entries when loading an index.
Add an API to allocate and discard cache entries, abstracting the
details of managing the memory backing the cache entries. This commit
does actually change how memory is managed - this will be done in a
later commit in the series.
This change makes the distinction between cache entries that are
associated with an index and cache entries that are not associated with
an index. A main use of cache entries is with an index, and we can
optimize the memory management around this. We still have other cases
where a cache entry is not persisted with an index, and so we need to
handle the "transient" use case as well.
To keep the congnitive overhead of managing the cache entries, there
will only be a single discard function. This means there must be enough
information kept with the cache entry so that we know how to discard
them.
A summary of the main functions in the API is:
make_cache_entry: create cache entry for use in an index. Uses specified
parameters to populate cache_entry fields.
make_empty_cache_entry: Create an empty cache entry for use in an index.
Returns cache entry with empty fields.
make_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in an
index. Uses specified parameters to populate
cache_entry fields.
make_empty_transient_cache_entry: create cache entry that is not used in
an index. Returns cache entry with
empty fields.
discard_cache_entry: A single function that knows how to discard a cache
entry regardless of how it was allocated.
