To verify a ssh signature we first call ssh-keygen -Y find-principal to
look up the signing principal by their public key from the
allowedSignersFile. If the key is found then we do a verify. Otherwise
we only validate the signature but can not verify the signers identity.
Verification uses the gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile (see ssh-keygen(1) "ALLOWED
SIGNERS") which contains valid public keys and a principal (usually
user@domain). Depending on the environment this file can be managed by
the individual developer or for example generated by the central
repository server from known ssh keys with push access. This file is usually
stored outside the repository, but if the repository only allows signed
commits/pushes, the user might choose to store it in the repository.
To revoke a key put the public key without the principal prefix into
gpg.ssh.revocationKeyring or generate a KRL (see ssh-keygen(1)
"KEY REVOCATION LISTS"). The same considerations about who to trust for
verification as with the allowedSignersFile apply.
Using SSH CA Keys with these files is also possible. Add
"cert-authority" as key option between the principal and the key to mark
it as a CA and all keys signed by it as valid for this CA.
See "CERTIFICATES" in ssh-keygen(1).

In preceding commits the race of renaming .idx files in place before
.rev files and other auxiliary files was fixed in pack-write.c's
finish_tmp_packfile(), builtin/repack.c's "struct exts", and
builtin/index-pack.c's final(). As noted in the change to pack-write.c
we left in place the issue of writing *.bitmap files after the *.idx,
let's fix that issue.
See 7cc8f97108 (pack-objects: implement bitmap writing, 2013-12-21)
for commentary at the time when *.bitmap was implemented about how
those files are written out, nothing in that commit contradicts what's
being done here.
Note that this commit and preceding ones only close any race condition
with *.idx files being written before their auxiliary files if we're
optimistic about our lack of fsync()-ing in this are not tripping us
over. See the thread at [1] for a rabbit hole of various discussions
about filesystem races in the face of doing and not doing fsync() (and
if doing fsync(), not doing it properly).
We may want to fsync the containing directory once after renaming the
*.idx file into place, but that is outside the scope of this series.

Before e37d0b8730 (builtin/index-pack.c: write reverse indexes,
2021-01-25) it probably wasn't worth it to have this sort of helper,
due to the differing "else if" case for "pack" files v.s. "idx" files.
But since we've got "rev" as well now, let's do the renaming via a
helper, this is both a net decrease in lines, and improves the
readability, since we can easily see at a glance that the logic for
writing these three types of files is exactly the same, aside from the
obviously differing cases of "*final_name" being NULL, and

Refactor the renaming in finish_tmp_packfile() into a helper function.
The callers are now expected to pass a "name_buffer" ending in
"pack-OID." instead of the previous "pack-", we then append "pack",
"idx" or "rev" to it.
By doing the strbuf_setlen() in rename_tmp_packfile() we reuse the
buffer and avoid the repeated allocations we'd get if that function had
its own temporary "struct strbuf".
This approach of reusing the buffer does make the last user in
pack-object.c's write_pack_file() slightly awkward, since we needlessly
do a strbuf_setlen() before calling strbuf_release() for consistency. In
subsequent changes we'll move that bitmap writing code around, so let's
not skip the strbuf_setlen() now.
The previous strbuf_reset() idiom originated with 5889271114
(finish_tmp_packfile():use strbuf for pathname construction,
2014-03-03), which in turn was a minimal adjustment of pre-strbuf code
added in 0e990530ae (finish_tmp_packfile(): a helper function,

Allow 'git merge' to operate without expanding a sparse index, at least
not immediately. The index still will be expanded in a few cases:
1. If the merge strategy is 'recursive', then we enable
command_requires_full_index at the start of the merge_recursive()
method. We expect sparse-index users to also have the 'ort' strategy
enabled.
2. With the 'ort' strategy, if the merge results in a conflicted file,
then we expand the index before updating the working tree. The loop
that iterates over the worktree replaces index entries and tracks
'origintal_cache_nr' which can become completely wrong if the index
expands in the middle of the operation. This safety valve is
important before that loop starts. A later change will focus this
to only expand if we indeed have a conflict outside of the
sparse-checkout cone.
3. Other merge strategies are executed as a 'git merge-X' subcommand,
and those strategies are currently protected with the
'command_requires_full_index' guard.
Some test updates are required, including a mistaken 'git checkout -b'
that did not specify the base branch, causing merges to be fast-forward

Before spawning the auto maintenance, we need to make sure that we
release all open file handles to all the `.pack` files (and MIDX files
and commit-graph files and...) so that the maintenance process has the
freedom to delete those files.
So far, we did this manually every time before calling
`run_auto_maintenance()`. With the new `close_object_store` flag, we can
do that implicitly in that function, which is more robust because future
callers won't be able to forget to close the object store.
Note: this changes behavior slightly, as we previously _always_ closed
the object store, but now we only close the object store when actually
running the auto maintenance. In practice, this should not matter (if
anything, it might speed up operations where auto maintenance is

remove the original `.pack` file(s) after it is done).
Since the `read_cache_unmerged()` and/or the `get_oid()` call in `git
pull` can cause `.pack` files to be opened, we need to release the open
handles before calling `git fetch`: the latter process might want to
spawn an auto-gc, which in turn might want to repack the objects.

When changing the scope of a sparse-checkout using cone mode, we might
have some tracked directories go out of scope. The current logic removes
the tracked files from within those directories, but leaves the ignored
files within those directories. This is a bit unexpected to users who
have given input to Git saying they don't need those directories
anymore.
This is something that is new to the cone mode pattern type: the user
has explicitly said "I want these directories and _not_ those
directories." The typical sparse-checkout patterns more generally apply
to "I want files with with these patterns" so it is natural to leave
ignored files as they are. This focus on directories in cone mode
provides us an opportunity to change the behavior.
Leaving these ignored files in the sparse directories makes it
impossible to gain performance benefits in the sparse index. When we
track into these directories, we need to know if the files are ignored
or not, which might depend on the _tracked_ .gitignore file(s) within
the sparse directory. This depends on the indexed version of the file,
so the sparse directory must be expanded.
We must take special care to look for untracked, non-ignored files in
these directories before deleting them. We do not want to delete any
meaningful work that the users were doing in those directories and
perhaps forgot to add and commit before switching sparse-checkout
definitions. Since those untracked files might be code files that
generated ignored build output, also do not delete any ignored files
from these directories in that case. The users can recover their state
by resetting their sparse-checkout definition to include that directory
and continue. Alternatively, they can see the warning that is presented
and delete the directory themselves to regain the performance they
expect.
By deleting the sparse directories when changing scope (or running 'git
sparse-checkout reapply') we regain these performance benefits as if the
repository was in a clean state.
Since these ignored files are frequently build output or helper files
from IDEs, the users should not need the files now that the tracked
files are removed. If the tracked files reappear, then they will have
newer timestamps than the build artifacts, so the artifacts will need to
be regenerated anyway.
Use the sparse-index as a data structure in order to find the sparse
directories that can be safely deleted. Re-expand the index to a full
one if it was full before.

initialize the patterns and check for pattern matching to make this
easier.
The existing callers of commands like get_sparse_checkout_patterns() use
a custom 'struct pattern_list' that is not necessarily the one in the
'struct index_state', so there are not many previous uses that could
adopt these helpers. There are just two in builtin/add.c and
sparse-index.c that can use path_in_sparse_checkout().

output, even though the underlying API learned how to show progress in
be042aff24 (Teach progress eye-candy to fetch_refs_from_bundle(),

Now we'll show "Unbundling objects" using the new --progress-title

"--all-progress" and "--all-progress-implied". Those are all specific

Add a --progress-title option to index-pack, when data is piped into

This option will allow us to set a more relevant progress bar title in
"git bundle unbundle", and is also used in my "bundle-uri" RFC
patches[1] by a new caller in fetch-pack.c.
The code change in cmd_index_pack() won't handle
"--progress-title=xyz", only "--progress-title xyz", and the "(i+1)"
style (as opposed to "i + 1") is a bit odd.
Not using the "--long-option=value" style is inconsistent with
existing long options handled by cmd_index_pack(), but makes the code
that needs to call it better (two strvec_push(), instead of needing a
strvec_pushf()). Since the option is internal-only the inconsistency
shouldn't matter.
I'm copying the pattern to handle it as-is from the handling of the

The existing mechanism for scheduling background maintenance is done
through cron. On Linux systems managed by systemd, systemd provides an
alternative to schedule recurring tasks: systemd timers.
The main motivations to implement systemd timers in addition to cron
are:
* cron is optional and Linux systems running systemd might not have it
installed.
* The execution of `crontab -l` can tell us if cron is installed but not
if the daemon is actually running.
* With systemd, each service is run in its own cgroup and its logs are
tagged by the service inside journald. With cron, all scheduled tasks
are running in the cron daemon cgroup and all the logs of the
user-scheduled tasks are pretended to belong to the system cron
service.
Concretely, a user that doesn’t have access to the system logs won’t
have access to the log of their own tasks scheduled by cron whereas
they will have access to the log of their own tasks scheduled by
systemd timer.
Although `cron` attempts to send email, that email may go unseen by
the user because these days, local mailboxes are not heavily used
anymore.
In order to schedule git maintenance, we need two unit template files:
* ~/.config/systemd/user/git-maintenance@.service
to define the command to be started by systemd and
* ~/.config/systemd/user/git-maintenance@.timer
to define the schedule at which the command should be run.
Those units are templates that are parameterized by the frequency.
Based on those templates, 3 timers are started:
* git-maintenance@hourly.timer
* git-maintenance@daily.timer
* git-maintenance@weekly.timer
The command launched by those three timers are the same as with the
other scheduling methods:
/path/to/git for-each-repo --exec-path=/path/to
--config=maintenance.repo maintenance run --schedule=%i
with the full path for git to ensure that the version of git launched
for the scheduled maintenance is the same as the one used to run
`maintenance start`.
The timer unit contains `Persistent=true` so that, if the computer is
powered down when a maintenance task should run, the task will be run
when the computer is back powered on.

Depending on the system, different schedulers can be used to schedule
the hourly, daily and weekly executions of `git maintenance run`:
* `launchctl` for MacOS,
* `schtasks` for Windows and
* `crontab` for everything else.
`git maintenance run` now has an option to let the end-user explicitly
choose which scheduler he wants to use:
`--scheduler=auto|crontab|launchctl|schtasks`.
When `git maintenance start --scheduler=XXX` is run, it not only
registers `git maintenance run` tasks in the scheduler XXX, it also
removes the `git maintenance run` tasks from all the other schedulers to
ensure we cannot have two schedulers launching concurrent identical
tasks.
The default value is `auto` which chooses a suitable scheduler for the
system.
`git maintenance stop` doesn't have any `--scheduler` parameter because
this command will try to remove the `git maintenance run` tasks from all
the available schedulers.
