If we encounter an error while checking out an explicit path, we print a
message to stderr but do not actually exit with a non-zero code. While
this is a plumbing command and the behavior goes all the way back to
33db5f4d90 (Add a "checkout-cache" command which does what the name
suggests., 2005-04-09), this is almost certainly an oversight:
- we _do_ return an exit code from checkout_file(); the caller just
never reads it
- errors while checking out all paths (with "-a") do result in a
non-zero exit code.
- it would be quite unusual not to use the exit code for an error,
as otherwise the caller has no idea the command failed except by
scraping stderr
To keep our tests simple and portable, we can use the most obvious
error: asking to checkout a path which is not in the index at all.

If checkout-index is given --stage=all for a specific path, it will try
to write stages 1-3 (if present) for that path to temporary files.
However, if the file is present only at stage 0, it writes nothing but
gives a confusing message:
$ git checkout-index --stage=all -- Makefile
git checkout-index: Makefile does not exist at stage 4
This is nonsense. There is no stage 4 (it's just an internal enum value
we use for "all"), and the documentation clearly states:
Paths which only have a stage 0 entry will always be omitted from the
output.
Here it's talking about the list of tempfiles written to stdout, but it
seems clear that this case was not meant to be an error. We even have a
test which covers it, but it only checks that the command reports an
exit code of 0, not its stderr. And it reports 0 only because of another
bug which fails to propagate errors (which will be fixed in a subsequent
patch).
So let's make the test more thorough. We'll also cover the case that we
found _no_ entry, not even a stage zero, which should still be an error.
However, because of the other bug, we'll have to mark this as expecting
failure for the moment.

Change the exit code for the likes of "git remote add/rename" to exit
with 2 if the remote in question doesn't exist, and 3 if it
does. Before we'd just die() and exit with the general 128 exit code.
This changes the output message from e.g.:
fatal: remote origin already exists.
To:
error: remote origin already exists.
Which I believe is a feature, since we generally use "fatal" for the
generic errors, and "error" for the more specific ones with a custom
exit code, but this part of the change may break code that already
relies on stderr parsing (not that we ever supported that...).
The motivation for this is a discussion around some code in GitLab's
gitaly which wanted to check this, and had to parse stderr to do so:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/-/merge_requests/2695
It's worth noting as an aside that a method of checking this that
doesn't rely on that is to check with "git config" whether the value
in question does or doesn't exist. That introduces a TOCTOU race
condition, but on the other hand this code (e.g. "git remote add")
already has a TOCTOU race.
We go through the config.lock for the actual setting of the config,
but the pseudocode logic is:
read_config();
check_config_and_arg_sanity();
save_config();
So e.g. if a sleep() is added right after the remote_is_configured()
check in add() we'll clobber remote.NAME.url, and add another (usually
duplicate) remote.NAME.fetch entry (and other values, depending on
invocation).

In 2.29, "--committer-date-is-author-date" option of "rebase" and

For the --committer-date-is-author-date option of git-am and git-rebase,
we format the committer ident, then re-parse it to find the name and
email, and then feed those back to fmt_ident().
We can simplify this by handling it all at the time of the fmt_ident()
call. We pass in the appropriate getenv() results, and if they're not
present, then our WANT_COMMITTER_IDENT flag tells fmt_ident() to fill in
the appropriate value from the config. Which is exactly what
git_committer_ident() was doing under the hood.

Commit e8cbe2118a (am: stop exporting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE, 2020-08-17)
rewrote the code for setting the committer date to use fmt_ident(),
rather than setting an environment variable and letting commit_tree()
handle it. But it introduced two bugs:
- we use the author email string instead of the committer email
- when parsing the committer ident, we used the wrong variable to
compute the length of the email, resulting in it always being a
zero-length string
This commit fixes both, which causes our test of this option via the
rebase "apply" backend to now succeed.

Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.
Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.
First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation. So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.
The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425 (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line". Commit 6f855371a5 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match. Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.
Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon. Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.
Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message". As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.
However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.

Reimplement the `bisect_state()` shell functions in C and also add a
subcommand `--bisect-state` to `git-bisect--helper` to call them from
git-bisect.sh .
Using `--bisect-state` subcommand is a temporary measure to port shell
function to C so as to use the existing test suite. As more functions
are ported, this subcommand will be retired and will be called by some
other methods.
`bisect_head()` is only called from `bisect_state()`, thus it is not
required to introduce another subcommand.
Note that the `eval` in the changed line of `git-bisect.sh` cannot be
dropped: it is necessary because the `rev` and the `tail`
variables may contain multiple, quoted arguments that need to be
passed to `bisect--helper` (without the quotes, naturally).

The 'git maintenance (register|start)' subcommands add the current
repository to the global Git config so maintenance will operate on that
repository. It does not specify what maintenance should occur or how
often.
To make it simple for users to start background maintenance with a
recommended schedlue, update the 'maintenance.strategy' config option in
both the 'register' and 'start' subcommands. This allows users to
customize beyond the defaults using individual
'maintenance.<task>.schedule' options, but also the user can opt-out of
this strategy using 'maintenance.strategy=none'.

To provide an on-ramp for users to use background maintenance without
several 'git config' commands, create a 'maintenance.strategy' config
option. Currently, the only important value is 'incremental' which
assigns the following schedule:
* gc: never
* prefetch: hourly
* commit-graph: hourly
* loose-objects: daily
* incremental-repack: daily
These tasks are chosen to minimize disruptions to foreground Git
commands and use few compute resources.
The 'maintenance.strategy' is intended as a baseline that can be
customzied further by manually assigning 'maintenance.<task>.enabled'
and 'maintenance.<task>.schedule' config options, which will override
any recommendation from 'maintenance.strategy'. This operates similarly
to config options like 'feature.experimental' which operate as "meta"
config options that change default config values.
This presents a way forward for updating the 'incremental' strategy in
the future or adding new strategies. For example, a potential strategy
could be to include a 'full' strategy that runs the 'gc' task weekly
and no other tasks by default.

Fast-import stores its marks in a trie-like structure made of mark_set
structs. Each struct has a fixed size (1024). If our id number is too
large to fit in the struct, then we allocate a new struct which shifts
the id number by 10 bits. Our original struct becomes a child node
of this new layer, and the new struct becomes the top level of the trie.
This scheme was broken by ddddf8d7e2 (fast-import: permit reading
multiple marks files, 2020-02-22). Before then, we had a top-level
"marks" pointer, and the push-down worked by assigning the new top-level
struct to "marks". But after that commit, insert_mark() takes a pointer
to the mark_set, rather than using the global "marks". It continued to
assign to the global "marks" variable during the push down, which was
wrong for two reasons:
- we added a call in option_rewrite_submodules() which uses a separate
mark set; pushing down on "marks" is outright wrong here. We'd
corrupt the "marks" set, and we'd fail to correctly store any
submodule mappings with an id over 1024.
- the other callers passed "marks", but the push-down was still wrong.
In read_mark_file(), we take the pointer to the mark_set as a
parameter. So even though insert_mark() was updating the global
"marks", the local pointer we had in read_mark_file() was not
updated. As a result, we'd add a new level when needed, but then the
next call to insert_mark() wouldn't see it! It would then allocate a
new layer, which would also not be seen, and so on. Lookups for the
lost layers obviously wouldn't work, but before we even hit any
lookup stage, we'd generally run out of memory and die.
Our tests didn't notice either of these cases because they didn't have
enough marks to trigger the push-down behavior. The new tests in t9304
cover both cases (and fail without this patch).
We can solve the problem by having insert_mark() take a pointer-to-pointer
of the top-level of the set. Then our push down can assign to it in a
way that the caller actually sees. Note the subtle reordering in
option_rewrite_submodules(). Our call to read_mark_file() may modify our
top-level set pointer, so we have to wait until after it returns to
assign its value into the string_list.

The auto condition for the commit-graph maintenance task walks refs
looking for commits that are not in the commit-graph file. This was
added in 4ddc79b2 (maintenance: add auto condition for commit-graph
task, 2020-09-17) but was left untested.
The initial goal of this change was to demonstrate the feature works
properly by adding tests. However, there was an off-by-one error that
caused the basic tests around maintenance.commit-graph.auto=1 to fail
when it should work.
The subtlety is that if a ref tip is not in the commit-graph, then we
were not adding that to the total count. In the test, we see that we
have only added one commit since our last commit-graph write, so the
auto condition would say there is nothing to do.
The fix is simple: add the check for the commit-graph position to see
that the tip is not in the commit-graph file before starting our walk.
Since this happens before adding to the DFS stack, we do not need to
clear our (currently empty) commit list.
This does add some extra complexity for the test, because we also want
to verify that the walk along the parents actually does some work. This
means we need to add at least two commits in a row without writing the
commit-graph. However, we also need to make sure no additional refs are
pointing to the middle of this list or else the for_each_ref() in
should_write_commit_graph() might visit these commits as tips instead of
doing a DFS walk. Hence, the last two commits are added with "git
commit" instead of "test_commit".

The type_cas lock lost all of its callers in f08cbf60fe (index-pack:

The compiler didn't alert us that the variable became unused, because we

It's worth considering also whether that commit was in error to remove
the use of the lock. Why don't we need it now, if we did before, as

Commit f08cbf60fe (index-pack: make quantum of work smaller, 2020-09-08)
refactored the main loop in threaded_second_pass(), but also deleted the
call to display_progress() at the top of the loop. This means that users
typically see no progress at all during the delta resolution phase (and
for large repositories, Git appears to hang).
This looks like an accident that was unrelated to the intended change of
that commit, since we continue to update nr_resolved_deltas in
resolve_delta(). Let's restore the call to get that progress back.
We'll also add a test that confirms we generate the expected progress.
This isn't perfect, as it wouldn't catch a bug where progress was
delayed to the end. That was probably possible to trigger when receiving
a thin pack, because we'd eventually call display_progress() from
fix_unresolved_deltas(), but only once after doing all the work.
However, since our test case generates a complete pack, it reliably
demonstrates this particular bug and its fix. And we can't do better
without making the test racy.

(optionally) print a help message when the push fails.
- The new option is a "no-op" in the following scenarios:
* When used without "--force-with-lease".
* When used with "--force-with-lease", and if the expected commit
on the remote side is specified as an argument.

Add a check to verify if the remote-tracking ref of the local branch
is reachable from one of its "reflog" entries.
The check iterates through the local ref's reflog to see if there
is an entry for the remote-tracking ref and collecting any commits
that are seen, into a list; the iteration stops if an entry in the
reflog matches the remote ref or if the entry timestamp is older
the latest entry of the remote ref's "reflog". If there wasn't an
entry found for the remote ref, "in_merge_bases_many()" is called
to check if it is reachable from the list of collected commits.
When a local branch that is based on a remote ref, has been rewound
and is to be force pushed on the remote, "--force-if-includes" runs
a check that ensures any updates to the remote-tracking ref that may
have happened (by push from another repository) in-between the time
of the last update to the local branch (via "git-pull", for instance)
and right before the time of push, have been integrated locally
before allowing a forced update.
If the new option is passed without specifying "--force-with-lease",
or specified along with "--force-with-lease=<refname>:<expect>" it
is a "no-op".

The format.useAutoBase configuration option exists to allow users to
enable '--base=auto' for format-patch by default.
This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures
when attempting to format an ancient patch:
$ git format-patch -1 <an old commit>
fatal: base commit shouldn't be in revision list
This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious
that the user requested a --base (since this was in the configuration,
not on the command line).
We do want --base=auto to fail when it cannot provide a suitable base,
as it would be equally confusing if a formatted patch did not include
the base information when it was requested.
Teach format.useAutoBase a new mode, "whenAble". This mode will cause
format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can. However,
if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue
formatting the patch without a base commit.
In order to avoid making yet another branch name unusable with --base,
do not teach --base=whenAble or --base=whenable.
Instead, refactor the base_commit option to use a callback, and rely on
the global configuration variable auto_base.
This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit
generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too
valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be
immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit.
This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to
continue the format.
Add tests to cover the new mode of operation for --base.

While the default remote name of "origin" can be changed at clone-time
with `git clone`'s `--origin` option, it was previously not possible
to specify a default value for the name of that remote. Add support for
a new `clone.defaultRemoteName` config, with the newly-created remote
name resolved in priority order:
1. (Highest priority) A remote name passed directly to `git clone -o`
2. A `clone.defaultRemoteName=new_name` in config `git clone -c`
3. A `clone.defaultRemoteName` value set in `/path/to/template/config`,
where `--template=/path/to/template` is provided
4. A `clone.defaultRemoteName` value set in a non-template config file
5. The default value of `origin`

In a future patch, the name of the remote created by `git clone` may
come from multiple sources. To avoid confusion, convert most uses of
option_origin to remote_name, leaving option_origin to exclusively
represent the -o/--origin option.

Providing a bad origin name to `git clone` currently reports an
'invalid refspec' error instead of a more explicit message explaining
that the `--origin` option was malformed. This behavior dates back to
since 8434c2f1 (Build in clone, 2008-04-27). Reintroduce
validation for the provided `--origin` option, but notably _don't_
include a multi-level check (e.g. "foo/bar") that was present in the
original `git-clone.sh`. `git remote` allows multi-level remote names
since at least 46220ca100 (remote.c: Fix overtight refspec validation,
2008-03-20), so that appears to be the desired behavior.
