There are still a handful mentions of SHA-1 when we meant the
(hexadecimal) object names in end-user facing messages. Rewrite
them.
I was hoping that this can mostly be s/SHA-1/object name/, but
a few messages needed rephrasing to keep the result readable.

One of the required steps for the objectFormat extension is to implement
the loose object index. However, without support for
compatObjectFormat, we don't even know if the loose object index is
needed, so it makes sense to move that step to the compatObjectFormat
section. Do so.

Now that we have SHA-256 support for packs and indices, let's document
that in SHA-256 repositories, we use SHA-256 instead of SHA-1 for object
names and checksums. Instead of duplicating this information throughout
the document, let's just document that in SHA-1 repositories, we use
SHA-1 for these purposes, and in SHA-256 repositories, we use SHA-256.

'todo_list_write_to_file' may overwrite the static buffer, originating
from 'find_unique_abbrev', that was used to store the short commit hash
'c' for "# Rebase a..b onto c" message in the todo editor. This is
because the buffer that is returned from 'find_unique_abbrev' is valid
until 4 more calls to `find_unique_abbrev` are made.
As 'todo_list_write_to_file' calls 'find_unique_abbrev' for each rebased
commit, the hash for 'c' is overwritten if there are 4 or more commits
in the rebase. This behavior has been broken since its introduction.
Fix by storing the short onto commit hash in a different buffer that
remains valid, before calling 'todo_list_write_to_file'.

The third part of the Fortran xfuncname regex wants to match the
beginning of a subroutine or function, so it allows for all characters
except `'`, `"` or whitespace before the keyword 'function' or
'subroutine'. This is meant to match the 'recursive', 'elemental' or
'pure' keywords, as well as function return types, and to prevent
matches inside strings.
However, the negated set does not contain the `!` comment character,
so a line with an end-of-line comment containing the keyword 'function' or
'subroutine' followed by another word is mistakenly chosen as a hunk header.
Improve the regex by adding `!` to the negated set.

The '--set-upstream' option to `git fetch` (which is also accepted by
`git pull` and passed through to the underlying `git fetch`) allows
setting the upstream configuration for the current branch. This was
added in 24bc1a1292 (pull, fetch: add --set-upstream option,
2019-08-19).
However, the documentation for that option describes its action as 'If
the remote is fetched successfully, pull and add upstream (tracking)
reference [...]', which is wrong because this option does not cause
neither `git fetch` nor `git pull` to pull: `git fetch` does not pull
and `git pull` always pulls.
Fix the description of that option.

We UNLEAK() the "sorting" list created by parsing command-line options
(which is essentially used until the program exits). But we do so right
before leaving the cmd_ls_remote() function, which means we have to hit
all of the exits. But the point of UNLEAK() is that it's an annotation
which doesn't impact the variable itself. We can mark it as soon as
we're done writing its value, and then we only have to do so once.
This gives us a minor code reduction, and serves as a better example of
how UNLEAK() can be used.

The point of UNLEAK() is to make a reference to a variable that is about
to go out of scope so that leak-checkers will consider it to be
not-leaked. Doing so right before die() is therefore pointless; even
though we are about to exit the program, the variable will still be on
the stack and accessible to leak-checkers.
These annotations aren't really hurting anything, but they clutter the
code and set a bad example of how to use UNLEAK().

The code in vcs-svn was started in 2010 as an attempt to build a
remote-helper for interacting with svn repositories (as opposed to
git-svn). However, we never got as far as shipping a mature remote
helper, and the last substantive commit was e99d012a6bc in 2012.
We do have a git-remote-testsvn, and it is even installed as part of
"make install". But given the name, it seems unlikely to be used by
anybody (you'd have to explicitly "git clone testsvn::$url", and there
have been zero mentions of that on the mailing list since 2013, and even
that includes the phrase "you might need to hack a bit to get it working
properly"[1]).
We also ship contrib/svn-fe, which builds on the vcs-svn work. However,
it does not seem to build out of the box for me, as the link step misses
some required libraries for using libgit.a. Curiously, the original
build breakage bisects for me to eff80a9fd9 (Allow custom "comment
char", 2013-01-16), which seems unrelated. There was an attempt to fix
it in da011cb0e7 (contrib/svn-fe: fix Makefile, 2014-08-28), but on my
system that only switches the error message.
So it seems like the result is not really usable by anybody in practice.
It would be wonderful if somebody wanted to pick up the topic again, and
potentially it's worth carrying around for that reason. But the flip
side is that people doing tree-wide operations have to deal with this
code. And you can see the list with (replace "HEAD" with this commit as
appropriate):
{
echo "--"
git diff-tree --diff-filter=D -r --name-only HEAD^ HEAD
} |
git log --no-merges --oneline e99d012a6bc.. --stdin
which shows 58 times somebody had to deal with the code, generally due
to a compile or test failure, or a tree-wide style fix or API change.
Let's drop it and let anybody who wants to pick it up do so by
resurrecting it from the git history.
As a bonus, this also reduces the size of a stripped installation of Git
from 21MB to 19MB.

There's no real reason for credential helpers to be separate binaries. I
did them this way originally under the notion that helper don't _need_
to be part of Git, and so can be built totally separately (and indeed,
the ones in contrib/credential are). But the ones in our main Makefile
build on libgit.a, and the resulting binaries are reasonably large.
We can slim down our total disk footprint by just making them builtins.
This reduces the size of:
make strip install
from 29MB to 24MB on my Debian system.
Note that credential-cache can't operate without support for Unix
sockets. Currently we just don't build it at all when NO_UNIX_SOCKETS is
set. We could continue that with conditionals in the Makefile and our
list of builtins. But instead, let's build a dummy implementation that
dies with an informative message. That has two advantages:
- it's simpler, because the conditional bits are all kept inside
the credential-cache source
- a user who is expecting it to exist will be told _why_ they can't
use it, rather than getting the "credential-cache is not a git
command" error which makes it look like the Git install is broken.
Note that our dummy implementation does still respond to "-h" in order
to appease t0012 (and this may be a little friendlier for users, as
well).

After blame has finished but before we produce any output, we coalesce
groups of lines that were adjacent in the original suspect (which may
have been split apart by lines in intermediate commits which went away).
However, this can cause incorrect output if the lines are not also
adjacent in the result. For instance, the case in t8003 has:
ABC
DEF
which becomes
ABC
SPLIT
DEF
Blaming only lines 1 and 3 in the result yields two blame groups (one
for each line) that were adjacent in the original. That's enough for us
to coalesce them into a single group, but that loses information: our
output routines assume they're adjacent in the result as well, and we
output:
<oid> 1) ABC
<oid> 2) SPLIT
This is nonsense for two reasons:
- we were asked about line 3, not line 2; we should not output the
SPLIT line at all
- commit <oid> did not touch the SPLIT line at all! We found the
correct blame for line 3, but the bug is actually in the output
stage, which is showing the wrong line number and content from the
final file.
We can fix this by only coalescing when both the suspect and result
lines are adjacent. That fixes this bug, but keeps coalescing in cases
where want it (e.g., the existing test in t8003 where SPLIT goes away,
and the lines really are adjacent in the result).

In preparation for adding more tests of blame's coalesce code, let's
split the setup out from the first test, and give each of the commits
a more meaningful name:
- $orig for the original source that added the lines
- $split for the version where they are split apart
- $final for the final version that re-joins them
That's not strictly necessary, but makes the follow-on tests less
brittle than relying on HEAD^, etc, to name the commits.

Commit f0cbe742f4 (blame: add a test to cover blame_coalesce(),
2019-06-20) added a test case where blame can usefully coalesce two
groups of lines. But since it relies on the normal blame output, it only
exercises the code and can't tell whether the lines were actually
joined into a single group.
However, by using --porcelain output, we can see how git-blame considers
the groupings (and likewise how the coalescing might have a real
user-visible impact for a tool that uses the porcelain-output
groupings). This lets us confirm that we are indeed coalescing correctly
(and the fact that this test case requires coalescing can be verified by
dropping the call to blame_coalesce(), causing the test to fail).

Convert submodule subcommand 'summary' to a builtin and call it via
'git-submodule.sh'.
The shell version had to call $diff_cmd twice, once to find the modified
modules cared by the user and then again, with that list of modules
to do various operations for computing the summary of those modules.
On the other hand, the C version does not need a second call to
$diff_cmd since it reuses the module list from the first call to do the
aforementioned tasks.
In the C version, we use the combination of setting a child process'
working directory to the submodule path and then calling
'prepare_submodule_repo_env()' which also sets the 'GIT_DIR' to '.git',
so that we can be certain that those spawned processes will not access
the superproject's ODB by mistake.
A behavioural difference between the C and the shell version is that the
shell version outputs two line feeds after the 'git log' output when run
outside of the tests while the C version outputs one line feed in any
case. The reason for this is that the shell version calls log with
'--pretty=format:<fmt>' whose output is followed by two echo
calls; 'format' does not have "terminator" semantics like its 'tformat'
counterpart. So, the log output is terminated by a newline only when
invoked by the user and not when invoked from the scripts. This results
in the one & two line feed differences in the shell version.
On the other hand, the C version calls log with '--pretty=<fmt>'
which is equivalent to '--pretty:tformat:<fmt>' which is then
followed by a 'printf("\n")'. Due to its "terminator" semantics the
log output is always terminated by newline and hence one line feed in
any case.
Also, when we try to pass an option-like argument after a non-option
argument, for instance:
git submodule summary HEAD --foo-bar
(or)
git submodule summary HEAD --cached
That argument would be treated like a path to the submodule for which
the user is requesting a summary. So, the option ends up having no
effect. Though, passing '--quiet' is an exception to this:
git submodule summary HEAD --quiet
While 'summary' doesn't support '--quiet', we don't get an output for
the above command as '--quiet' is treated as a path which means we get
an output only if a submodule whose path is '--quiet' exists.
The error message in case of computing a summary for non-existent
submodules in the C version is different from that of the shell version.
Since the new error message is not marked for translation, change the
'test_i18ngrep' in t7421.4 to 'grep'.

Nonbare repositories are special directories. Unlike normal directories
that we might recurse into to list the files they contain, nonbare
repositories must themselves match and then we always report only on the
nonbare repository directory itself and not on any of its contents.
Separately, when traversing directories to try to find untracked or
excluded files, we often think in terms of paths either matching the
specified pathspec, or not matching them. However, there is a special
value that do_match_pathspec() uses named
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC which means "this directory does
not match any pathspec BUT it is possible a file or directory underneath
it does." That special value prevents us from prematurely thinking that
some directory and everything under it is irrelevant, but also allows us
to differentiate from "this is a match".
The combination of these two special cases was previously uncovered.
Add a test to the testsuite to cover it, and make sure that we return a
nonbare repository as a non-match if the best match it got was
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC.

The --batch-size=<size> option of 'git multi-pack-index repack' is
intended to limit the amount of work done by the repack. In the case of
a large repository, this command should repack a number of small
pack-files but leave the large pack-files alone. Most often, the
repository has one large pack-file from a 'git clone' operation and
number of smaller pack-files from incremental 'git fetch' operations.
The issue with '--batch-size' is that it also _prevents_ the repack from
happening if the expected size of the resulting pack-file is too small.
This was intended as a way to avoid frequent churn of small pack-files,
but it has mostly caused confusion when a repository is of "medium"
size. That is, not enormous like the Windows OS repository, but also not
so small that this incremental repack isn't valuable.
The solution presented here is to collect pack-files for repack if their
expected size is smaller than the batch-size parameter until either the
total expected size exceeds the batch-size or all pack-files are
considered. If there are at least two pack-files, then these are
combined to a new pack-file whose size should not be too much larger
than the batch-size.
This new strategy should succeed in keeping the number of pack-files
small in these "medium" size repositories. The concern about churn is
likely not interesting, as the real control over that is the frequency
in which the repack command is run.

rename/delete conflict, in a way that just scratches the surface of the
mess that was built into merge-recursive. The idea was that it would
try to find the possible combinations of different conflict types, and
when more than one was present for one path, it would try to provide a
combined message that covered all the cases.
There's a lot to unravel here...
First, there's a basic conflict type known as modify/delete, which is a
content conflict. It occurs when one side deletes a file, but the other
modifies it.
There is also a path conflict known as a rename/delete. This occurs
when one side deletes a path, and the other renames it. This is not a
content conflict, it is a path conflict. It will often occur in
combination with a content conflict, though, namely a modify/delete. As
such, these two were often combined.
Another type of conflict that can exist is a directory/file conflict.
For example, one side adds a new file at some path, and the other side
of history adds a directory at the same path. The path that was "added"
could have been put there by a rename, though. Thus, we have the
possibility of a single path being affected by a modify/delete, a
rename/delete, and a directory/file conflict.
In part, this was a natural by-product of merge-recursive's design.
Since it was doing a four way merge with the contents of the working
tree being the fourth factor it had to consider, it had working tree
handling spread all over the code. It also had directory/file conflict
handling spread everywhere through all the other types of conflicts.
And our testsuite has a huge number of directory/file conflict tests
because trying to get them right required modifying so many different
codepaths. A natural outgrowth of this kind of structure is conflict
messages that combine all the different types that the current codepath
is considering.
However, if we want to make the different conflict types orthogonal and
avoid repeating ourselves and getting very brittle code, then we need to
split the messages from these different conflict types apart. Besides,
trying to determine all possible permutations is a _royal_ mess. The
code to handle the rename/delete/directory/file conflict output is
already somewhat hard to parse, and is somewhat brittle. But if we
really wanted to go that route, then we'd have to have special handling
for the following types of combinations:
* rename/add/delete:
on side of history that didn't rename the given file, remove the file
instead and place an unrelated file in the way of the rename
* rename/rename(2to1)/mode conflict/delete/delete:
two different files, one executable and the other not, are renamed
to the same location, each side deletes the source file that the
other side renames
* rename/rename(1to2)/add/add:
file renamed differently on each side of history, with each side
placing an unrelated file in the way of the other
* rename/rename(1to2)/content conflict/file location/(D/F)/(D/F)/:
both sides modify a file in conflicting way, both rename that file
but to different paths, one side renames the directory which the
other side had renamed that file into causing it to possibly need a
transitive rename, and each side puts a directory in the way of the
other's path.
Let's back away from this path of insanity, and allow the different
types of conflicts to be handled by separate pieces of non-repeated code
by allowing the conflict messages to be split into their separate types.
(If multiple conflict types affect a single path, the conflict messages
can be printed sequentially.) Start this path with a simple change:
modify this test to be more flexible and accept the output either merge
backend (recursive or the new ort) will produce.

Much like the last commit accepted 'add/add' and 'rename/add'
interchangably, we also want to do the same for 'add/add' and
'rename/rename'. This also allows us to avoid the ambiguity in meaning
with 'rename/rename' (is it two separate files renamed to the same
location, or one file renamed on both sides but differently)?

merge-recursive treats an add/add conflict where one of the adds came
from a rename as a separate 'rename/add' type of conflict. However, if
there is not content conflict after the content merge(s), then the file
is not considered to be conflicted. That suggests the conflict type is
really just add/add. Other merge engines might choose to print messages
to the console that just refer to these as add/add conflicts; accept
both types of output.
Note: it could help to notify users if the three-way content merge of
the rename had content conflicts, because when we then go to two-way
merge THAT with the conflicting add we can get nested conflict markers.
merge-recursive, unfortunately, doesn't do that, but other merge engines
could.

I had long since forgotten the idea behind this test and why it failed,
and took a little while to figure it out. To prevent others from having
to spend a similar time on it, add an explanation in the comments.
However, the reasoning in the explanation makes me question why I
considered it a failure at all. I'm not sure if I had a better reason
when I originally wrote it, but for now just add commentary about the
possible expectations and why it behaves the way it does right now.

This test had multiple issues causing it to fail for the wrong
reason(s):
* rename/rename(1to2) conflicts have always left the original source
path present in the working directory and index (at stage 1). Thus,
the triple rename/rename(1to2) should result in 9 unstaged files,
not 6.
* It messed up the three-way content merge for checking the results of
merging for one of the renames, accidentally turning it into a
two-way merge.
* It got the contents of the base files it was using to compare
against wrong, due to an off-by-one error, and overwrite-redirection
('>') instead of append-redirection ('>>').
* It used slightly too-long conflict markers
* It didn't include filenames in the conflict marker hunks (granted,
that was a shortcoming of the merge-recursive backend for rename/add
and rename/rename(2to1) conflicts, but since it's
test_expect_failure anyway we might as well make it expect our
preferred behavior rather than some compromise that we can't yet
reach anyway).
Fix these issues so that a merge backend which correctly handles these
kinds of nested conflicts will pass the test.

Commit da1e295e00 ("t604[236]: do not run setup in separate tests",
2019-10-22) removed approximately half the tests (which were setup-only
tests) in t6043 by turning them into functions that the subsequent test
would call as their first step. This ensured that any test from this
file could be run entirely independently of all the other tests in the
file. Unfortunately, the call to the new setup function was missed in
two of the test_expect_failure cases. Add them in.

Apparently I don't know how to count untracked files, and since the
tests in question were marked as test_expect_failure, no one ever
noticed it until now. Correct the count, as these tests clearly create
three untracked files ('out', 'err', and 'file_count').
(I believe this problem arose because earlier incarnations counted lines
via a pipe to 'wc -l'. Reviewers asked that it be replaced by writing
the output to a file and using test_line_count, but when the temporary
output was added to a separate file, the count of untracked files should
have increased.)
