The command "git tag -s" internally calls sign_buffer() to make a
cryptographic signature using the chosen backend like GPG and SSH.
The internal helper functions used by "git tag" implementation seem
to use a "negative return values are errors, zero or positive return
values are not" convention, and there are places (e.g., verify_tag()
that calls gpg_verify_tag()) that these internal helper functions
translate return values that signal errors to conform to this
convention, but do_sign() that calls sign_buffer() forgets to do so.
Fix it, so that a failed call to sign_buffer() that can return the
exit status from pipe_command() will not be overlooked.

"git show-ref --verify" is useful for scripts that want to look up a
fully qualified refname without falling back to the DWIM rules used by
"git rev-parse" rules when the ref does not exist. Currently it will
only accept "HEAD" or a refname beginning with "refs/". Running
git show-ref --verify CHERRY_PICK_HEAD
will always result in
fatal: 'CHERRY_PICK_HEAD' - not a valid ref
even when CHERRY_PICK_HEAD exists. By calling refname_is_safe() instead
of comparing the refname to "HEAD" we can accept all one-level refs that
contain only uppercase ascii letters and underscores.

The git-stash(1) command needs to write to the index for many of its
operations. When the index is locked by a concurrent writer it will thus
fail to operate, which is expected. What is not expected though is that
we do not print any error message at all in this case. The user can thus
easily miss the fact that the command didn't do what they expected it to
do and would be left wondering why that is.
Fix this bug and report failures to write to the index. Add tests for
the subcommands which hit the respective code paths.
While at it, unify error messages when writing to the index fails. The
chosen error message is already used in "builtin/stash.c".

Now that multi-pack reuse is supported, enable it via the
feature.experimental configuration in addition to the classic
`pack.allowPackReuse`.
This will allow more users to experiment with the new behavior who might
not otherwise be aware of the existing `pack.allowPackReuse`
configuration option.
The enum with values NO_PACK_REUSE, SINGLE_PACK_REUSE, and
MULTI_PACK_REUSE is defined statically in builtin/pack-objects.c's
compilation unit. We could hoist that enum into a scope visible from the
repository_settings struct, and then use that enum value in
pack-objects. Instead, define a single int that indicates what
pack-objects's default value should be to avoid additional unnecessary
code movement.
Though `feature.experimental` implies `pack.allowPackReuse=multi`, this
can still be overridden by explicitly setting the latter configuration
to either "single" or "false". Tests covering all of these cases are
showin t5332.

git-index-pack has a --strict option that can take an optional argument
to provide a list of fsck issues to change their severity.
--fsck-objects does not have such a utility, which would be useful if
one would like to be more lenient or strict on data integrity in a
repository.
Like --strict, allow --fsck-objects to also take a list of fsck msgs to
change the severity.
Remove the "For internal use only" note for --fsck-objects, and document
the option. This won't often be used by the normal end user, but it
turns out it is useful for Git forges like GitLab.

In 70c70de616 (refs: complete list of special refs, 2023-12-14) we have
inrtoduced a new `is_special_ref()` function that classifies some refs
as being special. The rule is that special refs are exclusively read and
written via the filesystem directly, whereas normal refs exclucsively go
via the refs API.
The intent of that commit was to record the status quo so that we know
to route reads of such special refs consistently. Eventually, the list
should be reduced to its bare minimum of refs which really are special,
namely FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD.
Follow up on this promise and convert the AUTO_MERGE ref to become a
normal pseudo-ref by using the refs API to both read and write it
instead of accessing the filesystem directly.

When creating a worktree we create the worktree's ref database manually
by first writing a "HEAD" file so that the directory is recognized as a
Git repository by other commands, and then running git-update-ref(1) or
git-symbolic-ref(1) to write the actual value. But while this is fine
for the files backend, this logic simply assumes too much about how the
ref backend works and will leave behind an invalid ref database once any
other ref backend lands.
Refactor the code to instead use `refs_init_db()` to initialize the ref
database so that git-worktree(1) itself does not need to know about how
to initialize it. This will allow future ref backends to customize how
the per-worktree ref database is set up. Furthermore, as we now already
have a worktree ref store around, we can also avoid spawning external
commands to write the HEAD reference and instead use the refs API to do
so.
Note that we do not have an equivalent to passing the `--quiet` flag to
git-symbolic-ref(1) as we did before. This flag does not have an effect
anyway though, as git-symbolic-ref(1) only honors it when reading a
symref, but never when writing one.

SUMMARY: LeakSanitizer: 32 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).
Aborted
What happens is this:
0. We construct a bogus pack with a duplicate object in it and trigger
index-pack.
1. We spawn a bunch of worker threads to resolve deltas (on my system
it is 16 threads).
2. One of the threads sees the duplicate object and bails by calling
exit(), taking down all of the threads. This is expected and is the
point of the test.
3. At the time exit() is called, we may still be spawning threads from
the main process via pthread_create(). LSan hooks thread creation
to update its book-keeping; it has to know where each thread's
stack is (so it can find entry points for reachable memory). So it
calls pthread_getattr_np() to get information about the new thread.
That may allocate memory that must be freed with a matching call to
pthread_attr_destroy(). Probably LSan does that immediately, but
if you're unlucky enough, the exit() will happen while it's between
those two calls, and the allocated pthread_attr_t appears as a
leak.
This isn't a real leak. It's not even in our code, but rather in the
LSan instrumentation code. So we could just ignore it. But the false
positive can cause people to waste time tracking it down.
It's possibly something that LSan could protect against (e.g., cover the
getattr/destroy pair with a mutex, and then in the final post-exit()
check for leaks try to take the same mutex). But I don't know enough
about LSan to say if that's a reasonable approach or not (or if my
analysis is even completely correct).
In the meantime, it's pretty easy to avoid the race by making creation
of the worker threads "atomic". That is, we'll spawn all of them before
letting any of them start to work. That's easy to do because we already
have a work_lock() mutex for handing out that work. If the main process
takes it, then all of the threads will immediately block until we've
finished spawning and released it.
This shouldn't make any practical difference for non-LSan runs. The
thread spawning is quick, and could happen before any worker thread gets
scheduled anyway.
Probably other spots that use threads are subject to the same issues.
But since we have to manually insert locking (and since this really is
kind of a hack), let's not bother with them unless somebody experiences
a similar racy false-positive in practice.
