Now that we're using a separate keydata struct for hash lookups, we have
more flexibility in how we allocate anonymized_entry structs. Let's push
the "orig" key into a flex member within the struct. That should save us
a few bytes of memory per entry (a pointer plus any malloc overhead),
and may make lookups a little faster (since it's one less pointer to
chase in the comparison function).

Now that the anonymize_str() interface is restricted to NUL-terminated
strings, there's no need for us to keep track of the length of each
entry in the hashmap. This simplifies the code and saves a bit of
memory.
Note that we do still need to compare the stored results to partial
strings passed in by the callers. We can do that by using hashmap's
keydata feature to get the ptr/len pair into the comparison function,
and then using strncmp().

While the anonymize_mem() interface _can_ store arbitrary byte
sequences, none of the callers uses this feature (as of the previous
commit). We'd like to keep it that way, as we'll be exposing the
string-like nature of the anonymization routines to the user. So let's
tighten up the interface a bit:
- don't treat "len" as an out-parameter from anonymize_mem(); this
ensures callers treat the pointer result as a NUL-terminated string
- likewise, don't treat "len" as an out-parameter from generator
functions
- swap out "void *" for "char *" as appropriate to signal that we
don't handle arbitrary memory
- rename the function to anonymize_str()
This will also open up some optimization opportunities in a future
patch.
Note that we can't drop the "len" parameter entirely. Some callers do
pass in partial strings (e.g., "foo/bar", len=3) to avoid copying, and
we need to handle those still.

When fast-export stores anonymized oids, it does so as binary strings.
And while the anonymous mapping storage is binary-clean (at least as of
the previous commit), this will become awkward when we start exposing
more of it to the user. In particular, if we allow a method for
retaining token "foo", then users may want to specify a hex oid as such
a token.
Let's just switch to storing the hex strings. The difference in memory
usage is negligible (especially considering how infrequently we'd
generally store an oid compared to, say, path components).

Our anonymize_mem() function is careful to take a ptr/len pair to allow
storing binary tokens like object ids, as well as partial strings (e.g.,
just "foo" of "foo/bar"). But it duplicates the hash key using
xstrdup()! That means that:
- for a partial string, we'd store all bytes up to the NUL, even
though we'd never look at anything past "len". This didn't produce
wrong behavior, but was wasteful.
- for a binary oid that doesn't contain a zero byte, we'd copy garbage
bytes off the end of the array (though as long as nothing complained
about reading uninitialized bytes, further reads would be limited by
"len", and we'd produce the correct results)
- for a binary oid that does contain a zero byte, we'd copy _fewer_
bytes than intended into the hashmap struct. When we later try to
look up a value, we'd access uninitialized memory and potentially
falsely claim that a particular oid is not present.
The most common reason to store an oid is an anonymized gitlink, but our
test case doesn't have any gitlinks at all. So let's add one whose oid
contains a NUL and is present at two different paths. ASan catches the
memory error, but even without it we can detect the bug because the oid
is not anonymized the same way for both paths.
And of course the fix is to copy the correct number of bytes. We don't
technically need the appended NUL from xmemdupz(), but it doesn't hurt
as an extra protection against anybody treating it like a string (plus a
future patch will push us more in that direction).

Commit 6b1db43109 ("clean: teach clean -d to preserve ignored paths",
2017-05-23) added the following code block (among others) to git-clean:
if (remove_directories)
dir.flags |= DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO | DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS;
The reason for these flags is well documented in the commit message, but
isn't obvious just from looking at the code. Add some explanations to
the code to make it clearer.
Further, it appears git-2.26 did not correctly handle this combination
of flags from git-clean. With both these flags and without
DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING set, git is supposed to recurse into
all untracked AND ignored directories. git-2.26.0 clearly was not doing
that. I don't know the full reasons for that or whether git < 2.27.0
had additional unknown bugs because of that misbehavior, because I don't
feel it's worth digging into. As per the huge changes and craziness
documented in commit 8d92fb2927 ("dir: replace exponential algorithm
with a linear one", 2020-04-01), the old algorithm was a mess and was
thrown out. What I can say is that git-2.27.0 correctly recurses into
untracked AND ignored directories with that combination.
However, in clean's case we don't need to recurse into ignored
directories; that is just a waste of time. Thus, when git-2.27.0
started correctly handling those flags, we got a performance regression
report. Rather than relying on other bugs in fill_directory()'s former
logic to provide the behavior of skipping ignored directories, make use
of the DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING value specifically added in
commit eec0f7f2b7 ("status: add option to show ignored files

some merge base from the two specified commits (as documented).
This fails, however, if there is *no* merge base: instead, you
see the differences between A and B, which is certainly not what
is expected.
Moreover, if additional revisions are specified on the command
line ("git diff A...B C"), the results get a bit weird:
* If there is a symmetric difference merge base, this is used
as the left side of the diff. The last final ref is used as
the right side.
* If there is no merge base, the symmetric status is completely
lost. We will produce a combined diff instead.
Similar weirdness occurs if you use, e.g., "git diff C A...B D".
Likewise, using multiple two-dot ranges, or tossing extra
revision specifiers into the command line with two-dot ranges,
or mixing two and three dot ranges, all produce nonsense.
To avoid all this, add a routine to catch the range cases and
verify that that the arguments make sense. As a side effect,
produce a warning showing *which* merge base is being used when
there are multiple choices; die if there is no merge base.

Whenever a fetch results in a packfile being downloaded, a .keep file is
generated, so that the packfile can be preserved (from, say, a running
"git repack") until refs are written referring to the contents of the
packfile.
In a subsequent patch, a successful fetch using protocol v2 may result
in more than one .keep file being generated. Therefore, teach
fetch_pack() and the transport mechanism to support multiple .keep
files.
Implementation notes:
- builtin/fetch-pack.c normally does not generate .keep files, and thus
is unaffected by this or future changes. However, it has an
undocumented "--lock-pack" feature, used by remote-curl.c when
implementing the "fetch" remote helper command. In keeping with the
remote helper protocol, only one "lock" line will ever be written;
the rest will result in warnings to stderr. However, in practice,
warnings will never be written because the remote-curl.c "fetch" is
only used for protocol v0/v1 (which will not generate multiple .keep
files). (Protocol v2 uses the "stateless-connect" command, not the
"fetch" command.)
- connected.c has an optimization in that connectivity checks on a ref
need not be done if the target object is in a pack known to be
self-contained and connected. If there are multiple packfiles, this
optimization can no longer be done.

"git worktree add" takes special care to avoid creating a new worktree

careful when validating the destination location and will happily move

sparse-checkout's purpose is to update the working tree to have it
reflect a subset of the tracked files. As such, it shouldn't be
switching branches, making commits, downloading or uploading data, or
staging or unstaging changes. Other than updating the worktree, the
only thing sparse-checkout should touch is the SKIP_WORKTREE bit of the
index. In particular, this sets up a nice invariant: running
sparse-checkout will never change the status of any file in `git status`
(reflecting the fact that we only set the SKIP_WORKTREE bit if the file
is safe to delete, i.e. if the file is unmodified).
Traditionally, we did a _really_ bad job with this goal. The
predecessor to sparse-checkout involved manual editing of
.git/info/sparse-checkout and running `git read-tree -mu HEAD`. That
command would stage and unstage changes and overwrite dirty changes in
the working tree.
The initial implementation of the sparse-checkout command was no better;
it simply invoked `git read-tree -mu HEAD` as a subprocess and had the
same caveats, though this issue came up repeatedly in review comments
and workarounds for the problems were put in place before the feature
was merged[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; especially see 4 & 6].

However, these workarounds, in addition to disabling the feature in a
number of important cases, also missed one special case. I'll get back
to it later.
In the 2.27.0 cycle, the disabling of the feature was lifted by finally
replacing the internal equivalent of `git read-tree -mu HEAD` with
something that did what we wanted: the new update_sparsity() function in
unpack-trees.c that only ever updates SKIP_WORKTREE bits in the index
and updates the working tree to match. This new function handles all
the cases that were problematic for the old implementation, except that
it breaks the same special case that avoided the workarounds of the old
implementation, but broke it in a different way.
So...that brings us to the special case: a git clone performed with
--no-checkout. As per the meaning of the flag, --no-checkout does not
check out any branch, with the implication that you aren't on one and
need to switch to one after the clone. Implementationally, HEAD is
still set (so in some sense you are partially on a branch), but
* the index is "unborn" (non-existent)
* there are no files in the working tree (other than .git/)
* the next time git switch (or git checkout) is run it will run
unpack_trees with `initial_checkout` flag set to true.
It is not until you run, e.g. `git switch <somebranch>` that the index
will be written and files in the working tree populated.
With this special --no-checkout case, the traditional `read-tree -mu
HEAD` behavior would have done the equivalent of acting like checkout --
switch to the default branch (HEAD), write out an index that matches
HEAD, and update the working tree to match. This special case slipped
through the avoid-making-changes checks in the original sparse-checkout
command and thus continued there.
After update_sparsity() was introduced and used (see commit f56f31af03
("sparse-checkout: use new update_sparsity() function", 2020-03-27)),
the behavior for the --no-checkout case changed: Due to git's
auto-vivification of an empty in-memory index (see do_read_index() and
note that `must_exist` is false), and due to sparse-checkout's
update_working_directory() code to always write out the index after it
was done, we got a new bug. That made it so that sparse-checkout would
switch the repository from a clone with an "unborn" index (i.e. still
needing an initial_checkout), to one that had a recorded index with no
entries. Thus, instead of all the files appearing deleted in `git
status` being known to git as a special artifact of not yet being on a
branch, our recording of an empty index made it suddenly look to git as
though it was definitely on a branch with ALL files staged for deletion!
A subsequent checkout or switch then had to contend with the fact that
it wasn't on an initial_checkout but had a bunch of staged deletions.
Make sure that sparse-checkout changes nothing in the index other than
the SKIP_WORKTREE bit; in particular, when the index is unborn we do not
have any branch checked out so there is no sparsification or
de-sparsification work to do. Simply return from
update_working_directory() early.

Even if we strongly discourage putting credentials into the URLs passed
via the command-line, there _is_ support for that, and users _do_ do
that.

ls-remote may or may not operate within a repository, and as such will
not have been initialized with the repository's hash algorithm. Even if
it were, the remote side could be using a different algorithm and we
would still want to display those refs properly. Find the hash
algorithm used by the remote side by querying the transport object and
set our hash algorithm accordingly.
Without this change, if the remote side is using SHA-256, we truncate
the refs to 40 hex characters, since that's the length of the default
hash algorithm (SHA-1).
Note that technically this is not a correct setting of the repository
hash algorithm since, if we are in a repository, it might be one of a
different hash algorithm from the remote side. However, our current
code paths don't handle multiple algorithms and won't for some time, so
this is the best we can do. We rely on the fact that ls-remote never
modifies the current repository, which is a reasonable assumption to
make.

show-index is capable of reading any possible index file whether or not
the index is inside a repository. However, because our index files lack
metadata about the hash algorithm in use, it's not possible to
autodetect the algorithm that a particular index file is using.
In order to allow us to read index files of any algorithm, let's set up
the .git directory gently so that we default to the algorithm for the
current repository, and add an --object-format option to allow users to
override this setting and continue to run show-index outside of a
repository altogether. Let's also document this new option so that
people can find it and use it.

Both v2 pack index files and the v3 format specified as part of the
NewHash work have similar data starting at the CRC table. Much of the
existing code wants to read either this table or the offset entries
following it, and in doing so computes the offset each time.
In order to share as much code between v2 and v3, compute the offset of
the CRC table and store it when the pack is opened. Use this value to
compute offsets to not only the CRC table, but to the offset entries
beyond it.

When performing a clone, we don't know what hash algorithm the other end
will support. Currently, we don't support fetching data belonging to a
different algorithm, so we must know what algorithm the remote side is
using in order to properly initialize the repository. We can know that
only after fetching the refs, so if the remote side has any references,
use that information to reinitialize the repository with the correct
hash algorithm information.
