Let's refactor the code to handle a regular commit (a commit that is
neither a root commit nor a merge commit) into a single function instead
of keeping it inside cmd_replay().
This is good for separation of concerns, and this will help further work
in the future to replay merge commits.

It's not a good idea for regular Git commands to use an assert() to
check for things that could happen but are not supported.
Let's die() with an explanation of the issue instead.

Instead of manually parsing arguments, let's start using the parse_options
API. This way this new builtin will look more standard, and in some
upcoming commits will more easily be able to handle more command line
options.
Note that we plan to later use standard revision ranges instead of
hardcoded "<oldbase> <branch>" arguments. When we will use standard
revision ranges, it will be easier to check if there are no spurious
arguments if we keep ARGV[0], so let's call parse_options() with
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_ARGV0 even if we don't need ARGV[0] right now to avoid
some useless code churn.

For now, this is just a rename from `t/helper/test-fast-rebase.c` into
`builtin/replay.c` with minimal changes to make it build appropriately.
Let's add a stub documentation and a stub test script though.
Subsequent commits will flesh out the capabilities of the new command
and make it a more standard regular builtin.

At the time t6429 was written, merge-ort was still under development,
did not have quite as many tests, and certainly was not widely deployed.
Since t6429 was exercising some codepaths just a little differently, we
thought having them also test the "merge_switch_to_result()" bits of
merge-ort was useful even though they weren't intrinsic to the real
point of these tests.
However, the value provided by doing extra testing of the
"merge_switch_to_result()" bits has decreased a bit over time, and it's
actively making it harder to refactor `test-tool fast-rebase` into `git
replay`, which we are going to do in following commits. Dispense with
these bits.

In 7a5d604443 (commit: detect commits that exist in commit-graph but not
in the ODB, 2023-10-31), we have introduced a new object existence check
into `repo_parse_commit_internal()` so that we do not parse commits via
the commit-graph that don't have a corresponding object in the object
database. This new check of course comes with a performance penalty,
which the commit put at around 30% for `git rev-list --topo-order`. But
there are in fact scenarios where the performance regression is even
higher. The following benchmark against linux.git with a fully-build
commit-graph:
Benchmark 1: git.v2.42.1 rev-list --count HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 658.0 ms ± 5.2 ms [User: 613.5 ms, System: 44.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 650.2 ms … 666.0 ms 10 runs
Benchmark 2: git.v2.43.0-rc1 rev-list --count HEAD
Time (mean ± σ): 1.333 s ± 0.019 s [User: 1.263 s, System: 0.069 s]
Range (min … max): 1.302 s … 1.361 s 10 runs
Summary
git.v2.42.1 rev-list --count HEAD ran
2.03 ± 0.03 times faster than git.v2.43.0-rc1 rev-list --count HEAD
While it's a noble goal to ensure that results are the same regardless
of whether or not we have a potentially stale commit-graph, taking twice
as much time is a tough sell. Furthermore, we can generally assume that
the commit-graph will be updated by git-gc(1) or git-maintenance(1) as
required so that the case where the commit-graph is stale should not at
all be common.
With that in mind, default-disable GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA and restore
the behaviour and thus performance previous to the mentioned commit. In
order to not be inconsistent, also disable this behaviour by default in
`lookup_commit_in_graph()`, where the object existence check has been
introduced right at its inception via f559d6d45e (revision: avoid
hitting packfiles when commits are in commit-graph, 2021-08-09).
This results in another speedup in commands that end up calling this
function, even though it's less pronounced compared to the above
benchmark. The following has been executed in linux.git with ~1.2
million references:
Benchmark 1: GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=true git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted
Time (mean ± σ): 2.947 s ± 0.003 s [User: 2.412 s, System: 0.534 s]
Range (min … max): 2.943 s … 2.949 s 3 runs
Benchmark 2: GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=false git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted
Time (mean ± σ): 2.724 s ± 0.030 s [User: 2.207 s, System: 0.514 s]
Range (min … max): 2.704 s … 2.759 s 3 runs
Summary
GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=false git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted ran
1.08 ± 0.01 times faster than GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA=true git rev-list --all --no-walk=unsorted
So whereas 7a5d604443 initially introduced the logic to start doing an
object existence check in `repo_parse_commit_internal()` by default, the
updated logic will now instead cause `lookup_commit_in_graph()` to stop
doing the check by default. This behaviour continues to be tweakable by
the user via the GIT_COMMIT_GRAPH_PARANOIA environment variable.
Note that this requires us to amend some tests to manually turn on the
paranoid checks again. This is because we cause repository corruption by
manually deleting objects which are part of the commit graph already.
These circumstances shouldn't usually happen in repositories.

"orphan branch" is not even grammatical ("orphaned branch" is), and
we have been using "unborn branch" to mean the state where the HEAD

There is a bit dense logic to make a call to "die_if_checked_out()"
while trying to check out a branch. Extract it into a helper
function and give it a bit of comment to describe what is going on.
The most important part of the refactoring is the separation of the
guarding logic before making the call to die_if_checked_out() into
the caller specific part (e.g., the logic that decides that the
caller is trying to check out an existing branch) and the bypass due
to the "--ignore-other-worktrees" option. The latter will be common
no matter how the current or future callers decides they need this
protection.

In the added tests cases, skip testing the `GIT_TRACE2_REDACT=0` case
because we would need to exactly model the full JSON event stream like
we did in the preceding basic tests and I do not think it is worth it.
Furthermore, the Trace2 routines print the same content in normal, perf,
or event format, and in t0210 and t0211 we already tested the basic
functionality, so no need to repeat it here.
In this test, we use the test-helper to unit test each of the event
messages where URLs can appear and confirm that they are redacted in
each event.

It is an unsafe practice to call something like
git clone https://user:password@example.com/
This not only risks leaking the password "over the shoulder" or into the
readline history of the current Unix shell, it also gets logged via
Trace2 if enabled.
Let's at least avoid logging such secrets via Trace2, much like we avoid
logging secrets in `http.c`. Much like the code in `http.c` is guarded
via `GIT_TRACE_REDACT` (defaulting to `true`), we guard the new code via
`GIT_TRACE2_REDACT` (also defaulting to `true`).
The new tests added in this commit uncover leaks in `builtin/clone.c`
and `remote.c`. Therefore we need to turn off
`TEST_PASSES_SANITIZE_LEAK`. The reasons:
- We observed that `the_repository->remote_status` is not released
properly.
- We are using `url...insteadOf` and that runs into a code path where an
allocated URL is replaced with another URL, and the original URL is
never released.
- `remote_states` contains plenty of `struct remote`s whose refspecs
seem to be usually allocated by never released.
More investigation is needed here to identify the exact cause and
proper fixes for these leaks/bugs.

One parameter is called `file_pach`. On the face of it, this looks as if
it was supposed to talk about a `path` instead of a `pach`.
However, looking at the way this callback is called, it gets fed the
`d_name` from a directory entry, which provides just the file name, not
the full path. Therefore, let's fix this by calling the parameter
`file_name` instead.

In the `files_delete_refs()` callback function of the files backend we
implement deletion of references. This is done in two steps:
1. We lock the packed-refs file and delete all references from it in
a single transaction.
2. We delete all loose references via separate calls to
`refs_delete_ref()`.
These steps essentially duplicate the logic around locking and deletion
order that we already have in the transactional interfaces, where we do
know to lock and evict references from the packed-refs file. Despite the
fact that we duplicate the logic, it's also less efficient than if we
used a single generic transaction:
- The transactional interface knows to skip locking of the packed
refs in case they don't contain any of the refs which are about to
be deleted.
- We end up creating N+1 separate reference transactions, one for
the packed-refs file and N for the individual loose references.
Refactor the code to instead delete references via a single transaction.
As we don't assert the expected old object ID this is equivalent to the
previous behaviour, and we already do the same in the packed-refs
backend.
Despite the fact that the result is simpler to reason about, this change
also results in improved performance. The following benchmarks have been
executed in linux.git:

Especially in the case where we have many references we can see a clear
performance speedup of nearly 30%.
This is in contrast to the stated objecive in a27dcf89b68 (refs: make
delete_refs() virtual, 2016-09-04), where the virtual `delete_refs()`
function was introduced with the intent to speed things up rather than
making things slower. So it seems like we have outlived the need for a
virtual function.

One of the tests in t5510 asserts that a `git fetch --prune` detects
failures to prune branches. This is done by locking the packed-refs
file, which would then later lead to a locking issue when Git tries to
rewrite the file to prune the branches from it.
Interestingly though, we do not pack the about-to-be-pruned branch into
the packed-refs file, so it never even contained that branch in the
first place. While this is good enough right now because the pruning
will always lock the file regardless of whether it contains the branch
or not, this is a mere implementation detail. In fact, we're about to
rewrite branch deletions to make use of the ref transaction interface,
which knows to skip rewrites of the packed-refs file in the case where
it does not contain the branches in the first place, and this will break
the test.
Prepare the test for that change by packing the refs before trying to
prune them.

- annotated tag pointing at the other annotated tag (i.e., a nested tag)
After those tests are finished, the refs are packed with 'pack-refs --all'
and the same tests are rerun.

In most builtins ('rev-parse <revision>^{}', 'show-ref --dereference'),
"dereferencing" a tag refers to a recursive peel of the tag object. Unlike
these cases, the dereferencing prefix ('*') in 'for-each-ref' format
specifiers triggers only a single, non-recursive dereference of a given tag
object. For most annotated tags, a single dereference is all that is needed
to access the tag's associated commit or tree; "recursive" and
"non-recursive" dereferencing are functionally equivalent in these cases.
However, nested tags (annotated tags whose target is another annotated tag)
dereferenced once return another tag, where a recursive dereference would
return the commit or tree.
Currently, if a user wants to filter & format refs and include information
about a recursively-dereferenced tag, they can do so with something like
'cat-file --batch-check':
git for-each-ref --format="%(objectname)^{} %(refname)" <pattern> |
git cat-file --batch-check="%(objectname) %(rest)"
But the combination of commands is inefficient. So, to improve the
performance of this use case and align the defererencing behavior of
'for-each-ref' with that of other commands, update the ref formatting code
to use the peeled tag (from 'peel_iterated_oid()') to populate '*' fields
rather than the tag's immediate target object (from 'get_tagged_oid()').
Additionally, add a test to 't6300-for-each-ref' to verify new nested tag
behavior and update 't6302-for-each-ref-filter.sh' to print the correct
value for nested dereferenced fields.

Move the description of the `*` prefix from the --format option
documentation to the part of the command documentation that deals with other
object type-specific modifiers. Also reorganize and reword the remaining
--format documentation so that the explanation of the default format doesn't
interrupt the details on format string interpolation.

Update 'filter_and_format_refs()' to try to perform ref filtering &
formatting in a single ref iteration, without an intermediate 'struct
ref_array'. This can only be done if no operations need to be performed on a
pre-filtered array; specifically, if the refs are
- filtered on reachability,
- sorted, or
- formatted with ahead-behind information
they cannot be filtered & formatted in the same iteration. In that case,
fall back on the current filter-then-sort-then-format flow.
This optimization substantially improves memory usage due to no longer
storing a ref array in memory. In some cases, it also dramatically reduces
runtime (e.g. 'git for-each-ref --no-sort --count=1', which no longer loads
all refs into a 'struct ref_array' to printing only the first ref).

Factor out parts of 'ref_array_push()', 'ref_filter_handler()', and
'filter_refs()' into new helper functions:
* Extract the code to grow a 'struct ref_array' and append a given 'struct
ref_array_item *' to it from 'ref_array_push()' into 'ref_array_append()'.
* Extract the code to filter a given ref by refname & object ID then create
a new 'struct ref_array_item *' from 'filter_one()' into
'apply_ref_filter()'.
* Extract the code for filter pre-processing, contains cache creation, and
ref iteration from 'filter_refs()' into 'do_filter_refs()'.
In later patches, these helpers will be used by new ref-filter API
functions. This patch does not result in any user-facing behavior changes or
changes to callers outside of 'ref-filter.c'.

Rename 'ref_filter_handler()' to 'filter_one()' to more clearly distinguish
it from other ref filtering callbacks that will be added in later patches.
The "*_one()" naming convention is common throughout the codebase for
iteration callbacks.

Add two new public methods to 'ref-filter.h':
* 'print_formatted_ref_array()' which, given a format specification & array
of ref items, formats and prints the items to stdout.
* 'filter_and_format_refs()' which combines 'filter_refs()',
'ref_array_sort()', and 'print_formatted_ref_array()' into a single
function.
This consolidates much of the code used to filter and format refs in
'builtin/for-each-ref.c', 'builtin/tag.c', and 'builtin/branch.c', reducing
duplication and simplifying the future changes needed to optimize the filter
& format process.
