The strftime() function has a non-standard "%s" extension, which prints
the number of seconds since the epoch. But the "struct tm" we get has
already been adjusted for a particular time zone; going back to an epoch
time requires knowing that zone offset. Since strftime() doesn't take
such an argument, round-tripping to a "struct tm" and back to the "%s"
format may produce the wrong value (off by tz_offset seconds).
Since we're already passing in the zone offset courtesy of c3fbf81a85
(strbuf: let strbuf_addftime handle %z and %Z itself, 2017-06-15), we
can use that same value to adjust our epoch seconds accordingly.
Note that the description above makes it sound like strftime()'s "%s" is
useless (and really, the issue is shared by mktime(), which is what
strftime() would use under the hood). But it gets the two cases for
which it's designed correct:
- the result of gmtime() will have a zero offset, so no adjustment is
necessary
- the result of localtime() will be offset by the local zone offset,
and mktime() and strftime() are defined to assume this offset when
converting back (there's actually some magic here; some
implementations record this in the "struct tm", but we can't
portably access or manipulate it. But they somehow "know" whether a
"struct tm" is from gmtime() or localtime()).
This latter point means that "format-local:%s" actually works correctly
already, because in that case we rely on the system routines due to
6eced3ec5e (date: use localtime() for "-local" time formats,
2017-06-15). Our problem comes when trying to show times in the author's
zone, as the system routines provide no mechanism for converting in
non-local zones. So in those cases we have a "struct tm" that came from
gmtime(), but has been manipulated according to our offset.
The tests cover the broken round-trip by formatting "%s" for a time in a
non-system timezone. We use the made-up "+1234" here, which has two
advantages. One, we know it won't ever be the real system zone (and so
we're actually testing a case that would break). And two, since it has a
minute component, we're testing the full decoding of the +HHMM zone into
a number of seconds. Likewise, we test the "-1234" variant to make sure
there aren't any sign mistakes.
There's one final test, which covers "format-local:%s". As noted, this
already passes, but it's important to check that we didn't regress this
case. In particular, the caller in show_date() is relying on localtime()
to have done the zone adjustment, independent of any tz_offset we
compute ourselves. These should match up, since our local_tzoffset() is
likewise built around localtime(). But it would be easy for a caller to
forget to pass in a correct tz_offset to strbuf_addftime(). Fortunately
show_date() does this correctly (it has to because of the existing
handling of %z), and the test continues to pass. So this one is just
future-proofing against a change in our assumptions.

Introduce the logical variable GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH which represents the
the default branch name that will be used by "git init".
Currently this variable is equivalent to
git config init.defaultbranch || 'master'
This however will break if at one point the default branch is changed as
indicated by `default_branch_name_advice` in `refs.c`.
By providing this command ahead of time users of git can make their
code forward-compatible.

The %(describe) placeholder by default, like `git describe`, uses a
seven-character abbreviated commit object name. This may not be
sufficient to fully describe all commits in a given repository,
resulting in a placeholder replacement changing its length because the
repository grew in size. This could cause the output of git-archive to
change.
Add the --abbrev option to `git describe` to the placeholder interface
in order to provide tools to the user for fine-tuning project defaults
and ensure reproducible archives.
One alternative would be to just always specify --abbrev=40 but this may
be a bit too biased...

"reset" was previously treated as a standalone special color name
representing `\e[m`. Now, it can apply to other color properties,
allowing exact specifications without implicit attribute inheritance.
For example, "reset green" now renders `\e[;32m`, which is interpreted
as "reset everything; then set foreground to green". This means the
background and other attributes are also reset to their defaults.
Previously, this was impossible to represent in a single color:
"reset" could be specified alone, or a color with attributes, but some
thing like clearing a background color were impossible.
There is a separate change that introduces the "default" color name to
assist with that, but even then, the above could only to be represented
by explicitly disabling each of the attributes:
green default no-bold no-dim no-italic no-ul no-blink no-reverse no-strike

The name "default" can now be used in foreground or background colors,
and means to use the terminal's default color, discarding any
explicitly-set color without affecting the other attributes. On many
modern terminals, this is *not* the same as specifying "white" or
"black".
Although attributes could previously be cleared like "no-bold", there
had not been a similar mechanism available for colors, other than a full
"reset", which cannot currently be combined with other settings.
Note that this is *not* the same as the existing name "normal", which is
a no-op placeholder to permit setting the background without changing
the foreground. (i.e. what is currently called "normal" might have been
more descriptively named "inherit", "none", "pass" or similar).

Since 8650c6298c (doc lint: make "lint-docs" non-.PHONY, 2021-10-15), we
put the output for gitlink linter into .build/lint-docs/gitlink. There
are order-only dependencies to create the sequence of subdirs like:
.build/lint-docs: | .build
$(QUIET)mkdir $@
.build/lint-docs/gitlink: | .build/lint-docs
$(QUIET)mkdir $@
where each level has to depend on the prior one (since the parent
directory must exist for us to create something inside it). But the
"howto" and "config" subdirectories of gitlink have the wrong
dependency; they depend on "lint-docs", not "lint-docs/gitlink".
This usually works out, because the LINT_DOCS_GITLINK targets which
depend on "gitlink/howto" also depend on just "gitlink", so the
directory gets created anyway. But since we haven't given make an
explicit ordering, things can racily happen out of order.
If you stick a "sleep 1" in the rule to build "gitlink" like this:
## Lint: gitlink
.build/lint-docs/gitlink: | .build/lint-docs
- $(QUIET)mkdir $@
+ $(QUIET)sleep 1 && mkdir $@
then "make clean; make lint-docs" will fail reliably. Or you can see it
as-is just by building the directory in isolation:
$ make clean
[...]
$ make .build/lint-docs/gitlink/howto
GEN mergetools-list.made
GEN cmd-list.made
GEN doc.dep
SUBDIR ../
make[1]: 'GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date.
SUBDIR ../
make[1]: 'GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date.
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘.build/lint-docs/gitlink/howto’: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:476: .build/lint-docs/gitlink/howto] Error 1
