a9be29c981 (sequencer: make refs generated by the `label` command
worktree-local, 2018-04-25) adds refs/rewritten/ as per-worktree
reference space. Unfortunately (my bad) there are a couple places that
need update to make sure it's really per-worktree.
- add_per_worktree_entries_to_dir() is updated to make sure ref listing
look at per-worktree refs/rewritten/ instead of per-repo one [1]
- common_list[] is updated so that git_path() returns the correct
location. This includes "rev-parse --git-path".
This mess is created by me. I started trying to fix it with the
introduction of refs/worktree, where all refs will be per-worktree
without special treatments. Unfortunate refs/rewritten came before
refs/worktree so this is all we can do.
This also fixes logs/refs/worktree not being per-worktree.
[1] note that ref listing still works sometimes. For example, if you
have .git/worktrees/foo/refs/rewritten/bar AND the directory
.git/worktrees/refs/rewritten, refs/rewritten/bar will show up.
add_per_worktree_entries_to_dir() is only needed when the directory
.git/worktrees/refs/rewritten is missing.

When "-L" is in use, we ignore any diff output format that the user
provides to us, and just always print a patch (with extra context lines
covering the whole area of interest). It's not entirely clear what we
should do with all formats (e.g., should "--stat" show just the diffstat
of the touched lines, or the stat for the whole file?).
But "-s" is pretty clear: the user probably wants to see just the

The --connectivity-only option avoids opening every object, and instead
just marks reachable objects with a flag and compares this to the set
of all objects. This strategy is discussed in more detail in 3e3f8bd608
(fsck: prepare dummy objects for --connectivity-check, 2017-01-17).
This means that we report _every_ unreachable object as dangling.
Whereas in a full fsck, we'd have actually opened and parsed each of
those unreachable objects, marking their child objects with the USED
flag, to mean "this was mentioned by another object". And thus we can
report only the tip of an unreachable segment of the object graph as
dangling.
You can see this difference with a trivial example:
tree=$(git hash-object -t tree -w /dev/null)
one=$(echo one | git commit-tree $tree)
two=$(echo two | git commit-tree -p $one $tree)
Running `git fsck` will report only $two as dangling, but with
--connectivity-only, both commits (and the tree) are reported. Likewise,
using --lost-found would write all three objects.
We can make --connectivity-only work like the normal case by taking a
separate pass over the unreachable objects, parsing them and marking
objects they refer to as USED. That still avoids parsing any blobs,
though we do pay the cost to access any unreachable commits and trees
(which may or may not be noticeable, depending on how many you have).
If neither --dangling nor --lost-found is in effect, then we can skip
this step entirely, just like we do now. That makes "--connectivity-only
--no-dangling" just as fast as the current "--connectivity-only". I.e.,
we do the correct thing always, but you can still tweak the options to
make it faster if you don't care about dangling objects.

This fixes a regression in 7c0fe330d5 (rev-list: handle missing tree
objects properly, 2018-10-05) where rev-list will now complain about the
empty tree when it doesn't physically exist on disk.
Before that commit, we relied on the traversal code in list-objects.c to
walk through the trees. Since it uses parse_tree(), we'd do a normal
object lookup that includes looking in the set of "cached" objects
(which is where our magic internal empty-tree kicks in).
After that commit, we instead tell list-objects.c not to die on any
missing trees, and we check them ourselves using has_object_file(). But
that function uses OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_CACHED, which means we won't use our
internal empty tree.
This normally wouldn't come up. For most operations, Git will try to
write out the empty tree object as it would any other object. And
pack-objects in a push or fetch will send the empty tree (even if it's
virtual on the sending side). However, there are cases where this can
matter. One I found in the wild:
1. The root tree of a commit became empty by deleting all files,
without using an index. In this case it was done using libgit2's
tree builder API, but as the included test shows, it can easily be
done with regular git using hash-object.
The resulting repo works OK, as we'd avoid walking over our own
reachable commits for a connectivity check.
2. Cloning with --reference pointing to the repository from (1) can
trigger the problem, because we tell the other side we already have
that commit (and hence the empty tree), but then walk over it
during the connectivity check (where we complain about it missing).
Arguably the workflow in step (1) should be more careful about writing
the empty tree object if we're referencing it. But this workflow did
work prior to 7c0fe330d5, so let's restore it.
This patch makes the minimal fix, which is to swap out a direct call to
oid_object_info_extended(), minus the SKIP_CACHED flag, instead of
calling has_object_file(). This is all that has_object_file() is doing
under the hood. And there's little danger of unrelated fallout from
other unexpected "cached" objects, since there's only one call site that
ends such a cached object, and it's in git-blame.

When transmitting and receiving POSTs for protocol v0 and v1,
remote-curl uses post_rpc() (and associated functions), but when doing
the same for protocol v2, it uses a separate set of functions
(proxy_rpc() and others). Besides duplication of code, this has caused
at least one bug: the auth retry mechanism that was implemented in v0/v1
was not implemented in v2.
To fix this issue and avoid it in the future, make remote-curl also use
post_rpc() when handling protocol v2. Because line lengths are written
to the HTTP request in protocol v2 (unlike in protocol v0/v1), this
necessitates changes in post_rpc() and some of the functions it uses;
perform these changes too.
A test has been included to ensure that the code for both the unchunked
and chunked variants of the HTTP request is exercised.
Note: stateless_connect() has been updated to use the lower-level packet
reading functions instead of struct packet_reader. The low-level control
is necessary here because we cannot change the destination buffer of
struct packet_reader while it is being used; struct packet_buffer has a
peeking mechanism which relies on the destination buffer being present
in between a peek and a read.

After completing a bisection, we print out the commit we found using an
internal version of diff-tree. The result is aesthetically lacking:
- it shows a raw diff, which is generally less informative for human
readers than "--stat --summary" (which we already decided was nice
for humans in format-patch's output).
- by not abbreviating hashes, the result is likely to wrap on most
people's terminals
- we don't use "-r", so if the commit touched files in a directory,
you only get to see the top-level directory mentioned
- we don't specify "--cc" or similar, so merges print nothing (not
even the commit message!)
Even though bisect might be driven by scripts, there's no reason to
consider this part of the output as machine-readable (if anything, the
initial "$hash is the first bad commit" might be parsed, but we won't
touch that here). Let's make it prettier and more informative for a
human reading the output.
While we're tweaking the options, let's also switch to using the diff
"ui" config. If we're accepting that this is human-readable output, then
we should respect the user's options for how to display it.
Note that we have to touch a few tests in t6030. These check bisection
in a corrupted repository (it's missing a subtree). They didn't fail
with the previous code, because it didn't actually recurse far enough in
the diff to find the broken tree. But now we'll see the corruption and
complain.
Adjusting the tests to expect the die() is the best fix. We still
confirm that we're able to bisect within the broken repo. And we'll
still print "$hash is the first bad commit" as usual before dying;
showing that is a reasonable outcome in a corrupt repository (and was
what might happen already, if the root tree was corrupt).

When "--no-index" is in effect (or implied by the arguments), git-diff
jumps early to a special code path to perform that diff. This means we
miss out on some settings like enabling --ext-diff and --textconv by
default.
Let's jump to the no-index path _after_ we've done more setup on
rev.diffopt. Since some of the options don't affect us (e.g., items
related to the index), let's re-order the setup into two blocks (see the
in-code comments).
Note that we also need to stop re-initializing the diffopt struct in
diff_no_index(). This should not be necessary, as it will already have
been initialized by cmd_diff() (and there are no other callers). That in
turn lets us drop the "repository" argument from diff_no_index (which
never made much sense, since the whole point is that you don't need a
repository).

Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to
replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a
unified set of git_trace2* routines.
In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level
event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written.
This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools.
Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment
variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be
set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE).
* GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command
summary data.
* GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE.
It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread,
repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for
child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function
nesting.
* GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a
series of JSON records.
Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled
without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance*
routines.

In cc95bc2025 (t5562: replace /dev/zero with a pipe from
generate_zero_bytes, 2019-02-09), we replaced usage of /dev/zero (which
is not available on NonStop, apparently) by a Perl script snippet to
generate NUL bytes.
Sadly, it does not seem to work on NonStop, as t5562 reportedly hangs.
Worse, this also hangs in the Ubuntu 16.04 agents of the CI builds on
Azure Pipelines: for some reason, the Perl script snippet that is run
via `generate_zero_bytes` in t5562's 'CONTENT_LENGTH overflow ssite_t'
test case tries to write out an infinite amount of NUL bytes unless a
broken pipe is encountered, that snippet never encounters the broken
pipe, and keeps going until the build times out.
Oddly enough, this does not reproduce on the Windows and macOS agents,
nor in a local Ubuntu 18.04.
This developer tried for a day to figure out the exact circumstances
under which this hang happens, to no avail, the details remain a
mystery.

from it. If http-backend would erroneously try to read any data
returning EOF probably would be even safer than providing some

Pruning generally has to traverse the whole commit graph in order to
see which objects are reachable. This is the exact problem that
reachability bitmaps were meant to solve, so let's use them (if they're
available, of course).
Here are timings on git.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5304.6: prune with bitmaps 3.65(3.56+0.09) 1.01(0.92+0.08) -72.3%
And on linux.git:
Test HEAD^ HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
5304.6: prune with bitmaps 35.05(34.79+0.23) 3.00(2.78+0.21) -91.4%
The tests show a pretty optimal case, as we'll have just repacked and
should have pretty good coverage of all refs with our bitmaps. But
that's actually pretty realistic: normally prune is run via "gc" right
after repacking.
A few notes on the implementation:
- the change is actually in reachable.c, so it would improve
reachability traversals by "reflog expire --stale-fix", as well.
Those aren't performed regularly, though (a normal "git gc" doesn't
use --stale-fix), so they're not really worth measuring. There's a
low chance of regressing that caller, since the use of bitmaps is
totally transparent from the caller's perspective.
- The bitmap case could actually get away without creating a "struct
object", and instead the caller could just look up each object id in
the bitmap result. However, this would be a marginal improvement in
runtime, and it would make the callers much more complicated. They'd
have to handle both the bitmap and non-bitmap cases separately, and
in the case of git-prune, we'd also have to tweak prune_shallow(),
which relies on our SEEN flags.
- Because we do create real object structs, we go through a few
contortions to create ones of the right type. This isn't strictly
necessary (lookup_unknown_object() would suffice), but it's more
memory efficient to use the correct types, since we already know
them.
