We can check if certain characters are present in a string by calling
strchr(3) on each of them, or we can pass them all to a single

3e96c66805 partial-clone: avoid fetching when looking for objects
When using partial clone, find_non_local_tags() in builtin/fetch.c
checks each remote tag to see if its object also exists locally. There
is no expectation that the object exist locally, but this function
nevertheless triggers a lazy fetch if the object does not exist. This
can be extremely expensive when asking for a commit, as we are
completely removed from the context of the non-existent object and
thus supply no "haves" in the request.

6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05) removed a
global variable that prevented these fetches in favor of a bitflag.
However, some object existence checks were not updated to use this flag.

Update find_non_local_tags() to use OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT in
addition to OBJECT_INFO_QUICK. The _QUICK option only prevents
repreparing the pack-file structures. We need to be extremely careful
about supplying _SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT when we expect an object to not exist
due to updated refs.

This resolves a broken test in t5616-partial-clone.sh.

d0badf8797 partial-clone: demonstrate bugs in partial fetch
While testing partial clone, I noticed some odd behavior. I was testing
a way of running 'git init', followed by manually configuring the remote
for partial clone, and then running 'git fetch'. Astonishingly, I saw
the 'git fetch' process start asking the server for multiple rounds of
pack-file downloads! When tweaking the situation a little more, I
discovered that I could cause the remote to hang up with an error.

Add two tests that demonstrate these two issues.

In the first test, we find that when fetching with blob filters from
a repository that previously did not have any tags, the 'git fetch
--tags origin' command fails because the server sends "multiple
filter-specs cannot be combined". This only happens when using
protocol v2.

In the second test, we see that a 'git fetch origin' request with
several ref updates results in multiple pack-file downloads. This must
be due to Git trying to fault-in the objects pointed by the refs. What
makes this matter particularly nasty is that this goes through the
do_oid_object_info_extended() method, so there are no "haves" in the
negotiation. This leads the remote to send every reachable commit and
tree from each new ref, providing a quadratic amount of data transfer!
This test is fixed if we revert 6462d5eb9a (fetch: remove
fetch_if_missing=0, 2019-11-05), but that revert causes other test
failures. The real fix will need more care.

The tests are ordered in this way because if I swap the test order the
tag test will succeed instead of fail. I believe this is because somehow
we need the srv.bare repo to not have any tags when we clone, but then
have tags in our next fetch.

fb1c18fc46 merge-recursive: fix the refresh logic in update_file_flags
If we need to delete a higher stage entry in the index to place the file
at stage 0, then we'll lose that file's stat information.  In such
situations we may still be able to detect that the file on disk is the
version we want (as noted by our comment in the code:
  /* do not overwrite file if already present */
), but we do still need to update the mtime since we are creating a new
cache_entry for that file.  Update the logic used to determine whether
we refresh a file's mtime.

73113c5922 t3433: new rebase testcase documenting a stat-dirty-like failure
A user discovered a case where they had a stack of 20 simple commits to
rebase, and the rebase would succeed in picking the first commit and
then error out with a pair of "Could not execute the todo command" and
"Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by
merge" messages.

Their steps actually made use of the -i flag, but I switched it over to
-m to make it simpler to trigger the bug.  With that flag, it bisects
back to commit 68aa495b59 (rebase: implement --merge via the
interactive machinery, 2018-12-11), but that's misleading.  If you
change the -m flag to --keep-empty, then the problem persists and will
bisect back to 356ee4659b (sequencer: try to commit without forking
'git commit', 2017-11-24)

After playing with the testcase for a bit, I discovered that added
--exec "sleep 1" to the command line makes the rebase succeed, making me
suspect there is some kind of discard and reloading of caches that lead
us to believe that something is stat dirty, but I didn't succeed in
digging any further than that.

7ec8125fba check-ignore: fix documentation and implementation to match
check-ignore has two different modes, and neither of these modes has an
implementation that matches the documentation.  These modes differ in
whether they just print paths or whether they also print the final
pattern matched by the path.  The fix is different for both modes, so
I'll discuss both separately.

=== First (default) mode ===

The first mode is documented as:

    For each pathname given via the command-line or from a file via
    --stdin, check whether the file is excluded by .gitignore (or other
    input files to the exclude mechanism) and output the path if it is
    excluded.

However, it fails to do this because it did not account for negated
patterns.  Commands other than check-ignore verify exclusion rules via
calling

   ... -> treat_one_path() -> is_excluded() -> last_matching_pattern()

while check-ignore has a call path of the form:

   ... -> check_ignore()                    -> last_matching_pattern()

The fact that the latter does not include the call to is_excluded()
means that it is susceptible to to messing up negated patterns (since
that is the only significant thing is_excluded() adds over
last_matching_pattern()).  Unfortunately, we can't make it just call
is_excluded(), because the same codepath is used by the verbose mode
which needs to know the matched pattern in question.  This brings us
to...

=== Second (verbose) mode ===

The second mode, known as verbose mode, references the first in the
documentation and says:

    Also output details about the matching pattern (if any) for each
    given pathname. For precedence rules within and between exclude
    sources, see gitignore(5).

The "Also" means it will print patterns that match the exclude rules as
noted for the first mode, and also print which pattern matches.  Unless
more information is printed than just pathname and pattern (which is not
done), this definition is somewhat ill-defined and perhaps even
self-contradictory for negated patterns: A path which matches a negated
exclude pattern is NOT excluded and thus shouldn't be printed by the
former logic, while it certainly does match one of the explicit patterns
and thus should be printed by the latter logic.

=== Resolution ==

Since the second mode exists to find out which pattern matches given
paths, and showing the user a pattern that begins with a '!' is
sufficient for them to figure out whether the pattern is excluded, the
existing behavior is desirable -- we just need to update the
documentation to match the implementation (i.e. it is about printing
which pattern is matched by paths, not about showing which paths are
excluded).

For the first or default mode, users just want to know whether a pattern
is excluded.  As such, the existing documentation is desirable; change
the implementation to match the documented behavior.

Finally, also adjust a few tests in t0008 that were caught up by this
discrepancy in how negated paths were handled.

2607d39da3 doc-diff: use single-colon rule in rendering Makefile
When rendering the troff manpages to text via "man", we create an ad-hoc
Makefile and feed it to "make". The purpose here is two-fold:

  - reuse results from a prior interrupted render of the same tree

  - use make's -j option to build in parallel

But the second part doesn't seem to work (at least with my version of
GNU make, 4.2.1). It just runs one render at a time.

We use a double-colon "all" rule for each file, like:

  all:: foo
  foo:
    ...actual render recipe...
  all:: bar
  bar:
    ...actual render recipe...
  ...and so on...

And it's this double-colon that seems to inhibit the parallelism. We can
just switch to a regular single-colon rule. Even though we do have
multiple rules for "all" here, we don't have any recipe to execute for
"all" (we only care about triggering its dependencies), so the
distinction is irrelevant.

10cdb9f38a rebase: rename the two primary rebase backends
Two related changes, with separate rationale for each:

Rename the 'interactive' backend to 'merge' because:
  * 'interactive' as a name caused confusion; this backend has been used
    for many kinds of non-interactive rebases, and will probably be used
    in the future for more non-interactive rebases than interactive ones
    given that we are making it the default.
  * 'interactive' is not the underlying strategy; merging is.
  * the directory where state is stored is not called
    .git/rebase-interactive but .git/rebase-merge.

Rename the 'am' backend to 'apply' because:
  * Few users are familiar with git-am as a reference point.
  * Related to the above, the name 'am' makes sentences in the
    documentation harder for users to read and comprehend (they may read
    it as the verb from "I am"); avoiding this difficult places a large
    burden on anyone writing documentation about this backend to be very
    careful with quoting and sentence structure and often forces
    annoying redundancy to try to avoid such problems.
  * Users stumble over pronunciation ("am" as in "I am a person not a
    backend" or "am" as in "the first and thirteenth letters in the
    alphabet in order are "A-M"); this may drive confusion when one user
    tries to explain to another what they are doing.
  * While "am" is the tool driving this backend, the tool driving git-am
    is git-apply, and since we are driving towards lower-level tools
    for the naming of the merge backend we may as well do so here too.
  * The directory where state is stored has never been called
    .git/rebase-am, it was always called .git/rebase-apply.

For all the reasons listed above:
  * Modify the documentation to refer to the backends with the new names
  * Provide a brief note in the documentation connecting the new names
    to the old names in case users run across the old names anywhere
    (e.g. in old release notes or older versions of the documentation)
  * Change the (new) --am command line flag to --apply
  * Rename some enums, variables, and functions to reinforce the new
    backend names for us as well.

2ac0d6273f rebase: change the default backend from "am" to "merge"
The am-backend drops information and thus limits what we can do:

  * lack of full tree information from the original commits means we
    cannot do directory rename detection and warn users that they might
    want to move some of their new files that they placed in old
    directories to prevent their becoming orphaned.[1]
  * reduction in context from only having a few lines beyond those
    changed means that when context lines are non-unique we can apply
    patches incorrectly.[2]
  * lack of access to original commits means that conflict marker
    annotation has less information available.
  * the am backend has safety problems with an ill-timed interrupt.

Also, the merge/interactive backend have far more abilities, appear to
currently have a slight performance advantage[3] and have room for more
optimizations than the am backend[4] (and work is underway to take
advantage of some of those possibilities).

76340c8107 rebase tests: repeat some tests using the merge backend instead of am
In order to ensure the merge/interactive backend gets similar coverage
to the am one, add some tests for cases where previously only the am
backend was tested.

980b482d28 rebase tests: mark tests specific to the am-backend with --am
We have many rebase tests in the testsuite, and often the same test is
repeated multiple times just testing different backends.  For those
tests that were specifically trying to test the am backend, add the --am
flag.

c2417d3af7 rebase: drop '-i' from the reflog for interactive-based rebases
A large variety of rebase types are supported by the interactive
machinery, not just the explicitly interactive ones.  These all share
the same code and write the same reflog messages, but the "-i" moniker
in those messages doesn't really have much meaning.  It also becomes
somewhat distracting once we switch the default from the am-backend to
the interactive one.  Just remove the "-i" from these messages.
