Enable the sparse index within the 'git diff' command. Its implementation
already safely integrates with the sparse index because it shares code
with the 'git status' and 'git checkout' commands that were already
integrated. For more details see:
d76723ee53 (status: use sparse-index throughout, 2021-07-14)
1ba5f45132 (checkout: stop expanding sparse indexes, 2021-06-29)
The most interesting thing to do is to add tests that verify that 'git
diff' behaves correctly when the sparse index is enabled. These cases are:
1. The index is not expanded for 'diff' and 'diff --staged'
2. 'diff' and 'diff --staged' behave the same in full checkout, sparse
checkout, and sparse index repositories in the following partially-staged
scenarios (i.e. the index, HEAD, and working directory differ at a given
path):
1. Path is within sparse-checkout cone
2. Path is outside sparse-checkout cone
3. A merge conflict exists for paths outside sparse-checkout cone
The `p2000` tests demonstrate a ~44% execution time reduction for 'git
diff' and a ~86% execution time reduction for 'git diff --staged' using a
sparse index:

name-rev has a MERGE_TRAVERSAL_WEIGHT to say that traversing a second or
later parent of a merge should be 65535 times more expensive than a
first-parent traversal, as per ac076c29ae (name-rev: Fix non-shortest
description, 2007-08-27). The point of this weight is to prefer names
like
v2.32.0~1471^2
over names like
v2.32.0~43^2~15^2~11^2~20^2~31^2
which are two equally valid names in git.git for the same commit. Note
that the first follows 1472 parent traversals compared to a mere 125 for
the second. Weighting all traversals equally would clearly prefer the
second name since it has fewer parent traversals, but humans aren't
going to be traversing commits and they tend to have an easier time
digesting names with fewer segments. The fact that the former only has
two segments (~1471, ^2) makes it much simpler than the latter which has
six segments (~43, ^2, ~15, etc.). Since name-rev is meant to "find
symbolic names suitable for human digestion", we prefer fewer segments.
However, the particular rule implemented in name-rev would actually
prefer
v2.33.0-rc0~11^2~1
over
v2.33.0-rc0~20^2
because both have precisely one second parent traversal, and it gives
the tie breaker to shortest number of total parent traversals. Fewer
segments is more important for human consumption than number of hops, so
we'd rather see the latter which has one fewer segment.
Include the generation in is_better_name() and use a new
effective_distance() calculation so that we prefer fewer segments in
the printed name over fewer total parent traversals performed to get the
answer.
== Side-note on tie-breakers ==
When there are the same number of segments for two different names, we
actually use the name of an ancestor commit as a tie-breaker as well.
For example, for the commit cbdca289fb in the git.git repository, we
prefer the name v2.33.0-rc0~112^2~1 over v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~5. This is
because:
* cbdca289fb is the parent of 25e65b6dd5, which implies the name for
cbdca289fb should be the first parent of the preferred name for
25e65b6dd5
* 25e65b6dd5 could be named either v2.33.0-rc0~112^2 or
v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~4, but the former is preferred over the latter due
to fewer segments
* combine the two previous facts, and the name we get for cbdca289fb
is "v2.33.0-rc0~112^2~1" rather than "v2.33.0-rc0~57^2~5".
Technically, we get this for free out of the implementation since we
only keep track of one name for each commit as we walk history (and
re-add parents to the queue if we find a better name for those parents),
but the first bullet point above ensures users get results that feel
more consistent.
== Alternative Ideas and Meanings Discussed ==
One suggestion that came up during review was that shortest
string-length might be easiest for users to consume. However, such a
scheme would be rather computationally expensive (we'd have to track all
names for each commit as we traversed the graph) and would additionally
come with the possibly perplexing result that on a linear segment of
history we could rapidly swap back and forth on names:
MYTAG~3^2 would be preferred over MYTAG~9998
MYTAG~3^2~1 would NOT be preferred over MYTAG~9999
MYTAG~3^2~2 might be preferred over MYTAG~10000
Another item that came up was possible auxiliary semantic meanings for
name-rev results either before or after this patch. The basic answer
was that the previous implementation had no known useful auxiliary
semantics, but that for many repositories (most in my experience), the
new scheme does. In particular, the new name-rev output can often be
used to answer the question, "How or when did this commit get merged?"
Since that usefulness depends on how merges happen within the repository
and thus isn't universally applicable, details are omitted here but you
can see them at [1].
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/CABPp-BEeUM+3NLKDVdak90_UUeNghYCx=Dgir6=8ixvYmvyq3Q@mail.gmail.com/
Finally, it was noted that the algorithm could be improved by just
explicitly tracking the number of segments and using both it and
distance in the comparison, instead of giving a magic number that tries
to blend the two (and which therefore might give suboptimal results in
repositories with really huge numbers of commits that periodically merge
older code). However, "[this patch] seems to give us a much better
results than the current code, so let's take it and leave further
futzing outside the scope."

The order in which the stdout and stderr streams are flushed is not
guaranteed to be the same across platforms or `libc` implementations.
This lack of determinism can lead to anomalous and potentially confusing
output if normal (stdout) output is flushed after error (stderr) output.
For instance, the following output which clearly indicates a failure due
to a fatal error:
% git worktree add ../foo bar
Preparing worktree (checking out 'bar')
fatal: 'bar' is already checked out at '.../wherever'
has been reported[1] on Microsoft Windows to appear as:
% git worktree add ../foo bar
fatal: 'bar' is already checked out at '.../wherever'
Preparing worktree (checking out 'bar')
which may confuse the reader into thinking that the command somehow
recovered and ran to completion despite the error.
This problem crops up because the "chatty" status message "Preparing
worktree" is sent to stdout, whereas the "fatal" error message is sent
to stderr. One way to fix this would be to flush stdout manually before
git-worktree reports any errors to stderr.
However, common practice in Git is for "chatty" messages to be sent to
stderr. Therefore, a more appropriate fix is to adjust git-worktree to
conform to that practice by sending its "chatty" messages to stderr
rather than stdout as is currently the case.
There may be concern that relocating messages from stdout to stderr
could break existing tooling, however, these messages are already
internationalized, thus are unstable. And, indeed, the "Preparing
worktree" message has already been the subject of somewhat significant
changes in 2c27002a0a (worktree: improve message when creating a new
worktree, 2018-04-24). Moreover, there is existing precedent, such as
68b939b2f0 (clone: send diagnostic messages to stderr, 2013-09-18) which
likewise relocated "chatty" messages from stdout to stderr for
git-clone.

It's possible to specify --simplify-by-decoration but not --decorate. In
this case we do respect the simplification, but we don't actually show
any decorations. However, it works by lazy-loading the decorations when
needed; this is discussed in more detail in 0cc7380d88 (log-tree: call
load_ref_decorations() in get_name_decoration(), 2019-09-08).
This works for basic cases, but will fail to respect any --decorate-refs
option (or its variants). Those are handled only when cmd_log_init()
loads the ref decorations up front, which is only when --decorate is
specified explicitly (or as of the previous commit, when the userformat
asks for %d or similar).
We can solve this by making sure to load the decorations if we're going
to simplify using them but they're not otherwise going to be displayed.
The new test shows a simple case that fails without this patch. Note
that we expect two commits in the output: the one we asked for by
--decorate-refs, and the initial commit. The latter is just a quirk of
how --simplify-by-decoration works. Arguably it may be a bug, but it's
unrelated to this patch (which is just about the loading of the
decorations; you get the same behavior before this patch with an
explicit --decorate).

In order to show ref decorations, we first have to load them. If you
run:
git log --decorate
then git-log will recognize the option and load them up front via
cmd_log_init(). Likewise if log.decorate is set.
If you don't say --decorate explicitly, but do mention "%d" or "%D" in
the output format, like so:
git log --format=%d
then this also works, because we lazy-load the ref decorations. This has
been true since 3b3d443feb (add '%d' pretty format specifier to show
decoration, 2008-09-04), though the lazy-load was later moved into
log-tree.c.
But there's one problem: that lazy-load just uses the defaults; it
doesn't take into account any --decorate-refs options (or its exclude
variant, or their config). So this does not work:
git log --decorate-refs=whatever --format=%d
It will decorate using all refs, not just the specified ones. This has
been true since --decorate-refs was added in 65516f586b (log: add option
to choose which refs to decorate, 2017-11-21). Adding further confusion
is that it _may_ work because of the auto-decoration feature. If that's
in use (and it often is, as it's the default), then if the output is
going to stdout, we do enable decorations early (and so load them up
front, respecting the extra options). But otherwise we do not. So:
git log --decorate-refs=whatever --format=%d >some-file
would typically behave differently than it does when the output goes to
the pager or terminal!
The solution is simple: we should recognize in cmd_log_init() that we're
going to show decorations, and make sure we load them there. We already
check userformat_find_requirements(), so we can couple this with our
existing code there.
There are two new tests. The first shows off the actual fix. The second
makes sure that our fix doesn't cause us to stomp on an existing
--decorate option (see the new comment in the code, as well).

4
A
<<<<<<
B
C
D
||||||
5
6
======

>>>>>>
E

Note that the common lines, 'A', and 'E' were moved outside the
conflict. Unlike with the two-way conflicts from the 'merge'
conflictStyle, the zdiff3 conflict is NOT split into multiple conflict
regions to allow the common 'C' lines to be shown outside a conflict,
because zdiff3 shows the base version too and the base version cannot be
reasonably split.
Note also that the removing of lines common to the two sides might make
the remaining text inside the conflict region match the base text inside
the conflict region (for example, if the diff3 conflict had '5 6 E' on
the right side of the conflict, then the common line 'E' would be moved
outside and both the base and right side's remaining conflict text would
be the lines '5' and '6'). This has the potential to surprise users and
make them think there should not have been a conflict, but there
definitely was a conflict and it should remain.

Remove the `ensure_full_index` guard on `read_from_tree` and update `git
reset --mixed` to ensure it can use sparse directory index entries wherever
possible. Sparse directory entries are reset using `diff_tree_oid`, which
requires `change` and `add_remove` functions to process the internal
contents of the sparse directory. The `recursive` diff option handles cases
in which `reset --mixed` must diff/merge files that are nested multiple
levels deep in a sparse directory.
The use of pathspecs with `git reset --mixed` introduces scenarios in which
internal contents of sparse directories may be matched by the pathspec. In
order to reset *all* files in the repo that may match the pathspec, the
following conditions on the pathspec require index expansion before
performing the reset:
* "magic" pathspecs
* wildcard pathspecs that do not match only in-cone files or entire sparse
directories
* literal pathspecs matching something outside the sparse checkout
definition

Disable `command_requires_full_index` repo setting and add

directory index entries. `reset --soft` does not modify the index, so no
compatibility changes are needed for it to function without expanding the
index. For all other reset modes (`--mixed`, `--hard`, `--keep`, `--merge`),
the full index is expanded to prevent cache tree corruption and invalid
variable accesses.
Additionally, the `read_cache()` check verifying an uncorrupted index is
moved after argument parsing and preparing the repo settings. The index is
not used by the preceding argument handling, but `read_cache()` must be run
*after* enabling sparse index for the command (so that the index is not
expanded unnecessarily) and *before* using the index for reset (so that it
is verified as uncorrupted).

Remove the "env" member from "struct child_process" in favor of always
using the "env_array". As with the preceding removal of "argv" in
favor of "args" this gets rid of current and future oddities around
memory management at the API boundary (see the amended API docs).
For some of the conversions we can replace patterns like:
child.env = env->v;
With:
strvec_pushv(&child.env_array, env->v);
But for others we need to guard the strvec_pushv() with a NULL check,
since we're not passing in the "v" member of a "struct strvec",
e.g. in the case of tmp_objdir_env()'s return value.
Ideally we'd rename the "env_array" member to simply "env" as a
follow-up, since it and "args" are now inconsistent in not having an
"_array" suffix, and seemingly without any good reason, unless we look
at the history of how they came to be.

add_worktree() reuses a `child_process` for three run_command()

run-command.c internals. In particular, it knows that it must reset
child_process::argv to NULL for each subsequent invocation[*] in order
for start_command() to latch the newly-populated child_process::args for
each invocation, even though this behavior is not a part of the
documented API. Beyond having overly-intimate knowledge of run-command.c

invocations smells like an unnecessary micro-optimization. Therefore,
stop sharing one `child_process` and instead use a new one for each

[*] If child_process::argv is not reset to NULL, then subsequent
run_command() invocations will instead incorrectly access a dangling
pointer to freed memory which had been allocated by child_process::args
on the previous run. This is due to the following code in

The "checkout" command is one of the main sources of leaks in the test
suite, let's fix the common ones by not leaking from the "struct
branch_info".
Doing this is rather straightforward, albeit verbose, we need to
xstrdup() constant strings going into the struct, and free() the ones
we clobber as we go along.
This also means that we can delete previous partial leak fixes in this
area, i.e. the "path_to_free" accounting added by 96ec7b1e70 (Convert
resolve_ref+xstrdup to new resolve_refdup function, 2011-12-13).
There was some discussion about whether "we should retain the "const
char *" here and cast at free() time, or have it be a "char *". Since
this is not a public API with any sort of API boundary let's use
"char *", as is already being done for the "refname" member of the
same struct.
The tests to mark as passing were found with:
rm .prove; GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t0027 prove -j8 --state=save t[0-9]*.sh :: --immediate
# apply & compile this change
prove -j8 --state=failed :: --immediate
I.e. the ones that were newly passing when the --state=failed command
was run. I left out "t3040-subprojects-basic.sh" and
"t4131-apply-fake-ancestor.sh" to to optimization-level related
differences similar to the ones noted in[1], except that these would
be something the current 'linux-leaks' job would run into.

Regression fix.
* ab/fsck-unexpected-type:
object-file: free(*contents) only in read_loose_object() caller
object-file: fix SEGV on free() regression in v2.34.0-rc2
In the preceding commit a free() of uninitialized memory regression in
96e41f58fe (fsck: report invalid object type-path combinations,
2021-10-01) was fixed, but we'd still have an issue with leaking
memory from fsck_loose(). Let's fix that issue too.
That issue was introduced in my 31deb28f5e (fsck: don't hard die on
invalid object types, 2021-10-01). It can be reproduced under
SANITIZE=leak with the test I added in 093fffdfbe (fsck tests: add
test for fsck-ing an unknown type, 2021-10-01):
./t1450-fsck.sh --run=84 -vixd
In some sense it's not a problem, we lost the same amount of memory in
terms of things malloc'd and not free'd. It just moved from the "still
reachable" to "definitely lost" column in valgrind(1) nomenclature[1],
since we'd have die()'d before.
But now that we don't hard die() anymore in the library let's properly
free() it. Doing so makes this code much easier to follow, since we'll
now have one function owning the freeing of the "contents" variable,
not two.
For context on that memory management pattern the read_loose_object()
function was added in f6371f9210 (sha1_file: add read_loose_object()
function, 2017-01-13) and subsequently used in c68b489e56 (fsck:
parse loose object paths directly, 2017-01-13). The pattern of it
being the task of both sides to free() the memory has been there in
this form since its inception.

"git maintenance run" learned to use system supplied scheduler
backend, but cron on macOS turns out to be unusable for this
purpose.
* ds/no-usable-cron-on-macos:

"git pull --ff-only" and "git pull --rebase --ff-only" should make
it a no-op to attempt pulling from a remote that is behind us, but
instead the command errored out by saying it was impossible to
fast-forward, which may technically be true, but not a useful thing
to diagnose as an error. This has been corrected.

Before running the post-receive hook, status info is reported back to
the client. If a remote client exits before or during the status report,
receive-pack is killed by SIGPIPE and post-receive is never executed.
The post-receive hook is often used to send email notifications (see
contrib/hooks/post-receive-email), update bug trackers, start automatic
builds, etc. Not executing it after an interrupted yet "successful" push
can lead to inconsistencies.
Ignore SIGPIPE before reporting status to the client to increase the
chances of post-receive running if pre-receive was successful. This does
not guarantee 100% consistency but it should resist early disconnection
by the client.

In eba1ba9 (maintenance: `git maintenance run` learned
`--scheduler=<scheduler>`, 2021-09-04), we introduced the ability to
specify a scheduler explicitly. This led to some extra checks around
whether an alternative scheduler was available. This added the
functionality of removing background maintenance from schedulers other
than the one selected.
On macOS, cron is technically available, but running 'crontab' triggers
a UI prompt asking for special permissions. This is the major reason why
launchctl is used as the default scheduler. The is_crontab_available()
method triggers this UI prompt, causing user disruption.
Remove this disruption by using an #ifdef to prevent running crontab
this way on macOS. This has the unfortunate downside that if a user
manually selects cron via the '--scheduler' option, then adjusting the
scheduler later will not remove the schedule from cron. The
'--scheduler' option ignores the is_available checks, which is how we
can get into this situation.
Extract the new check_crontab_process() method to avoid making the
'child' variable unused on macOS. The method is marked MAYBE_UNUSED
because it has no callers on macOS.

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.
