As a wise man once told me, "Deleted code is debugged code!" So, move
the functions that are shared between merge-recursive and merge-ort from
the former to the latter, and then debug the remainder of
merge-recursive.[ch].
Joking aside, merge-ort was always intended to replace merge-recursive.
It has numerous advantages over merge-recursive (operates much faster,
can operate without a worktree or index, and fixes a number of known
bugs and suboptimal merges). Since we have now replaced all callers of
merge-recursive with equivalent functions from merge-ort, move the
shared functions from the former to the latter, and delete the remainder

builtin/merge-recursive: switch to using merge_ort_generic()
Switch from merge-recursive to merge-ort. Adjust the following
testcases due to the switch:
* t6430: most of the test differences here were due to improved D/F
conflict handling explained in more detail in ef527787089c (merge
tests: expect improved directory/file conflict handling in ort,
2020-10-26). These changes weren't made to this test back in that
commit simply because I had been looking at `git merge` rather than
`git merge-recursive`. The final test in this testsuite, though, was
expunged because it was looking for specific output, and the calls to
output_commit_title() were discarded from merge_ort_internal() in its
adaptation from merge_recursive_internal(); see 8119214f4e70
(merge-ort: implement merge_incore_recursive(), 2020-12-16).
* t6434: This test is built entirely around rename/delete conflicts,
which had a suboptimal handling under merge-recursive. As explained
in more detail in commits 1f3c9ba707 ("t6425: be more flexible with
rename/delete conflict messages", 2020-08-10) and 727c75b23f ("t6404,
t6423: expect improved rename/delete handling in ort backend",
2020-10-26), rename/delete conflicts should each have two entries in
the index rather than just one. Adjust the expectations for all the
tests in this testcase to see the two entries per rename/delete
conflict.
* t6424: merge-recursive had a special check-if-toplevel-trees-match
check that it ran at the beginning on both the merge-base and the
other side being merged in. In such a case, it exited early and
printed an "Already up to date." message. merge-ort got rid of
this, and instead checks the merge base tree matching the other
side throughout the tree instead of just at the toplevel, allowing
it to avoid recursing into various subtrees. As part of that, it
got rid of the specialty toplevel message. That message hasn't
been missed for years from `git merge`, so I don't think it is
necessary to keep it just for `git merge-recursive`, especially
since the latter is rarely used. (git itself only references it
in the testsuite, whereas it used to power one of the three
rebase backends that existed once upon a time.)

update-ref: add --batch-updates flag for stdin mode
When updating multiple references through stdin, Git's update-ref
command normally aborts the entire transaction if any single update
fails. This atomic behavior prevents partial updates. Introduce a new
batch update system, where the updates the performed together similar
but individual updates are allowed to fail.
Add a new `--batch-updates` flag that allows the transaction to continue
even when individual reference updates fail. This flag can only be used
in `--stdin` mode and builds upon the batch update support added to the
refs subsystem in the previous commits. When enabled, failed updates are
reported in the following format:
refs: support rejection in batch updates during F/D checks
The `refs_verify_refnames_available()` is used to batch check refnames
for F/D conflicts. While this is the more performant alternative than
its individual version, it does not provide rejection capabilities on a
single update level. For batched updates, this would mean a rejection of
the entire transaction whenever one reference has a F/D conflict.
Modify the function to call `ref_transaction_maybe_set_rejected()` to
check if a single update can be rejected. Since this function is only
internally used within 'refs/' and we want to pass in a `struct
ref_transaction *` as a variable. We also move and mark
`refs_verify_refnames_available()` to 'refs-internal.h' to be an
internal function.

Git supports making reference updates with or without transactions.
Updates with transactions are generally better optimized. But
transactions are all or nothing. This means, if a user wants to batch
updates to take advantage of the optimizations without the hard
requirement that all updates must succeed, there is no way currently to
do so. Particularly with the reftable backend where batching multiple
reference updates is more efficient than performing them sequentially.
Introduce batched update support with a new flag,
'REF_TRANSACTION_ALLOW_FAILURE'. Batched updates while different from
transactions, use the transaction infrastructure under the hood. When
enabled, this flag allows individual reference updates that would
typically cause the entire transaction to fail due to non-system-related
errors to be marked as rejected while permitting other updates to
proceed. System errors referred by 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_GENERIC'
continue to result in the entire transaction failing. This approach
enhances flexibility while preserving transactional integrity where
necessary.
The implementation introduces several key components:
- Add 'rejection_err' field to struct `ref_update` to track failed
updates with failure reason.
- Add a new struct `ref_transaction_rejections` and a field within
`ref_transaction` to this struct to allow quick iteration over
rejected updates.
- Modify reference backends (files, packed, reftable) to handle
partial transactions by using `ref_transaction_set_rejected()`
instead of failing the entire transaction when
`REF_TRANSACTION_ALLOW_FAILURE` is set.
- Add `ref_transaction_for_each_rejected_update()` to let callers
examine which updates were rejected and why.
This foundational change enables batched update support throughout the
reference subsystem. A following commit will expose this capability to
users by adding a `--batch-updates` flag to 'git-update-ref(1)',
providing both a user-facing feature and a testable implementation.

Within the files reference backend's transaction's 'finish' phase, a
verification step is currently performed wherein the refnames list is
sorted and examined for multiple updates targeting the same refname.
It has been observed that this verification is redundant, as an
identical check is already executed during the transaction's 'prepare'

refs: move duplicate refname update check to generic layer
Move the tracking of refnames in `affected_refnames` from individual
backends into the generic layer in 'refs.c'. This centralizes the
duplicate refname detection that was previously handled separately by
each backend.
Make some changes to accommodate this move:
- Add a `string_list` field `refnames` to `ref_transaction` to contain
all the references in a transaction. This field is updated whenever
a new update is added via `ref_transaction_add_update`, so manual
additions in reference backends are dropped.
- Modify the backends to use this field internally as needed. The
backends need to check if an update for refname already exists when
splitting symrefs or adding an update for 'HEAD'.
- In the reftable backend, within `reftable_be_transaction_prepare()`,
move the `string_list_has_string()` check above
`ref_transaction_add_update()`. Since `ref_transaction_add_update()`
automatically adds the refname to `transaction->refnames`,
performing the check after will always return true, so we perform
the check before adding the update.
This helps reduce duplication of functionality between the backends and
makes it easier to make changes in a more centralized manner.

refs/files: remove redundant check in split_symref_update()
In `split_symref_update()`, there were two checks for duplicate
refnames:
- At the start, `string_list_has_string()` ensures the refname is not
already in `affected_refnames`, preventing duplicates from being
added.
- After adding the refname, another check verifies whether the newly
inserted item has a `util` value.
The second check is unnecessary because the first one guarantees that
`string_list_insert()` will never encounter a preexisting entry.
The `item->util` field is assigned to validate that a rename doesn't
already exist in the list. The validation is done after the first check.
As this check is removed, clean up the validation and the assignment of
this field in `split_head_update()` and `files_transaction_prepare()`.

By default, git-maintenance(1) uses the "gc" task to ensure that the
repository is well-maintained. This can be changed, for example by
either explicitly configuring which tasks should be enabled or by using
the "incremental" maintenance strategy. If so, git-maintenance(1) does
not know to expire reflog entries, which is a subtask that git-gc(1)
knows to perform for the user. Consequently, the reflog will grow
indefinitely unless the user manually trims it.
Introduce a new "reflog-expire" task that plugs this gap:
- When running the task directly, then we simply execute `git reflog
expire --all`, which is the same as git-gc(1).
- When running git-maintenance(1) with the `--auto` flag, then we only
run the task in case the "HEAD" reflog has at least N reflog entries
that would be discarded. By default, N is set to 100, but this can
be configured via "maintenance.reflog-expire.auto". When a negative
integer has been provided we always expire entries, zero causes us
to never expire entries, and a positive value specifies how many
entries need to exist before we consider pruning the entries.
Note that the condition for the `--auto` flags is merely a heuristic and
optimized for being fast. This is because `git maintenance run --auto`
will be executed quite regularly, so scanning through all reflogs would
likely be too expensive in many repositories.

reftable/table: move printing logic into test helper

reftable library. This is only the case due to historical reasons though
because users of the library had no interfaces to read blocks one by

We have now grown a public interface to iterate through blocks contained

Move over the logic and refactor it accordingly. Note that the iterator

reftable/block: store block pointer in the block iterator
The block iterator requires access to a bunch of data from the
underlying `reftable_block` that it is iterating over. This data is
stored by copying over relevant data into a separate set of variables.
This has multiple downsides:
- We require more storage space than necessary. This is more of a
theoretical issue as we shouldn't ever have many blocks.
- We have to perform more bookkeeping, and the variable names are
inconsistent across the two data structures. This can lead to some
confusion.
- The lifetime of the block iterator is tied to the block anyway, but
we hide that a bit by only storing pointers pointing into the block.
There isn't really any good reason why we rip out parts of the block
instead of storing a pointer to the block itself.
Refactor the code to do so. Despite being simpler, it also allows us to

git-zlib: use `struct z_stream_s` instead of typedef
Throughout the Git codebase we're using the typedeffed version of
`z_stream`, which maps to `struct z_stream_s`. By using a typedef
instead of the struct it becomes somewhat harder to predeclare the
symbol so that headers depending on the struct can do so without having
to pull in "zlib-compat.h".
We don't yet have users that would really care about this: the only
users that declare `z_stream` as a pointer are in "reftable/block.h",
which is a header that is internal to the reftable library. But in the
next step we're going to expose the `struct reftable_block` publicly,
and that struct does contain a pointer to `z_stream`. And as the public
header shouldn't depend on "reftable/system.h", which is an internal
implementation detail, we won't have the typedef for `z_stream` readily
available.
Prepare for this change by using `struct z_stream_s` throughout our code
base. In case zlib-ng is used we use a define to map from `z_stream_s`
to `zng_stream_s`.
Drop the pre-declaration of `struct z_stream` while at it. This struct
does not exist in the first place, and the declaration wasn't needed
because "reftable/block.h" already includes "reftable/basics.h" which

need to scan through the blocks manually.
Rename the structure to `reftable_block` now that the name has been made

The `reftable_block` structure associates a byte slice with a block
source. As such it only holds the data of a reftable block without
actually encoding any of the details for how to access that data.
Rename the structure to instead be called `reftable_block_data`. Besides
clarifying that this really only holds data, it also allows us to rename
the `reftable_block_reader` to `reftable_block` in the next commit, as
this is the structure that actually encapsulates access to the reftable
blocks.
Rename the `struct reftable_block_reader::block` member accordingly.

reftable/table: move reading block into block reader
The logic to read blocks from a reftable is scattered across both the
table and the block subsystems. Besides causing somewhat fuzzy
responsibilities, it also means that we have to awkwardly pass around
the ownership of blocks between the subsystems.
Refactor the code so that we stop passing the block when initializing a
reader, but instead by passing in the block source plus the offset at
which we're supposed to read a block. Like this, the ownership of the
block itself doesn't need to get handed over as the block reader is the
one owning the block right from the start.

reftable/block: simplify how we track restart points
Restart points record the location of reftable records that do not use
prefix compression and are used to perform a binary search inside of a
block. These restart points are encoded at the end of a block, between
the record data and the footer of a table.
The block structure contains three different variables related to these
restart points:
- The block length contains the length of the reftable block up to the
restart points.
- The restart count contains the number of restart points contained in
the block.
- The restart bytes variable tracks where the restart point data
begins.
Tracking all three of these variables is unnecessary though as the data
can be derived from one another: the block length without restart points
is the exact same as the offset of the restart count data, which we
already track via the `restart_bytes` data.
Refactor the code so that we track the location of restart bytes not as
a pointer, but instead as an offset. This allows us to trivially get rid
of the `block_len` variable as described above. This avoids having the
confusing `block_len` variable and allows us to do less bookkeeping
overall.

The `struct reftable_reader` subsystem encapsulates a table that has
been read from the disk. As such, the current name of that structure is
somewhat hard to understand as it only talks about the fact that we read
something from disk, without really giving an indicator _what_ that is.
Furthermore, this naming schema doesn't really fit well into how the
other structures are named: `reftable_merged_table`, `reftable_stack`,
`reftable_block` and `reftable_record` are all named after what they
encapsulate.
Rename the subsystem to `reftable_table`, which directly gives a hint
that the data structure is about handling the individual tables part of
the stack.
While this change results in a lot of churn, it prepares for us exposing
the APIs to third-party callers now that the reftable library is a
standalone library that can be linked against by other projects.

blame: print unblamable and ignored commits in porcelain mode
The 'git-blame(1)' command allows users to ignore specific revisions via
the '--ignore-rev <rev>' and '--ignore-revs-file <file>' flags. These
flags are often combined with the 'blame.markIgnoredLines' and
'blame.markUnblamableLines' config options. These config options prefix
ignored and unblamable lines with a '?' and '*', respectively.
However, this option was never extended to the porcelain mode of
'git-blame(1)'. Since the documentation does not indicate this
exclusion, it is a bug.
Fix this by printing 'ignored' and 'unblamable' respectively for the
options when using the porcelain modes.

Instead, we're going with the minimum viable change: the test files we

those get translated into proper ASCII characters. So instead of doing a
full hexdump, we simply use tr(1) to translate these specific bytes.

In the early days of Git, Perl was used quite prominently throughout the
project. This has changed significantly as almost all of the executables
we ship nowadays have eventually been rewritten in C. Only a handful of
subsystems remain that require Perl:
- gitweb, a read-only web interface.
- A couple of scripts that allow importing repositories from GNU Arch,
CVS and Subversion.
- git-send-email(1), which can be used to send mails.
- git-request-pull(1), which is used to request somebody to pull from
a URL by sending an email.
- git-filter-branch(1), which uses Perl with the `--state-branch`
option. This command is typically recommended against nowadays in
favor of git-filter-repo(1).
- Our Perl bindings for Git.
- The netrc Git credential helper.
None of these subsystems can really be considered to be part of the
"core" of Git, and an installation without them is fully functional.
It is more likely than not that an end user wouldn't even notice that
any features are missing if those tools weren't installed. But while
Perl nowadays very much is an optional dependency of Git, there is a
significant limitation when Perl isn't available: developers cannot run
our test suite.
Preceding commits have started to lift this restriction by removing the
strict dependency on Perl in many central parts of the test library. But
there are still many tests that rely on small Perl helpers to do various
different things.
Introduce a new PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisite that guards all tests
that require Perl. This prerequisite is explicitly different than the
preexisting PERL prerequisite:
- PERL records whether or not features depending on the Perl
interpreter are built.
- PERL_TEST_HELPERS records whether or not a Perl interpreter is
available for our tests.
By having these two separate prerequisites we can thus distinguish
between tests that inherently depend on Perl because the underlying
feature does, and those tests that depend on Perl because the test
itself is using Perl.
Adapt all tests to set the PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisite as needed.

Note that one specialty here is the handling of NUL characters in tr(1),
which historically wasn't implemented correctly on all platforms. But
quoting tr(1p):
It was considered that automatically stripping NUL characters from
the input was not correct functionality. However, the removal of -n
in a later proposal does not remove the requirement that tr
correctly process NUL characters in its input stream.
So when tr(1) is implemented following the POSIX standard then it is
expected to handle the transliteration of NUL just fine.

builtin/cat-file: use bitmaps to efficiently filter by object type
While it is now possible to filter objects by type, this mechanism is
for now mostly a convenience. Most importantly, we still have to iterate
through the whole packfile to find all objects of a specific type. This
can be prohibitively expensive depending on the size of the packfiles.
It isn't really possible to do better than this when only considering a
packfile itself, as the order of objects is not fixed. But when we have
a packfile with a corresponding bitmap, either because the packfile
itself has one or because the multi-pack index has a bitmap for it, then
we can use these bitmaps to improve the runtime.
While bitmaps are typically used to compute reachability of objects,
they also contain one bitmap per object type that encodes which object
has what type. So instead of reading through the whole packfile(s), we
can use the bitmaps and iterate through the type-specific bitmap.
Typically, only a subset of packfiles will have a bitmap. But this isn't
really much of a problem: we can use bitmaps when available, and then
use the non-bitmap walk for every packfile that isn't covered by one.
Overall, this leads to quite a significant speedup depending on how many
objects of a certain type exist. The following benchmarks have been
executed in the Chromium repository, which has a 50GB packfile with
almost 25 million objects. As expected, there isn't really much of a
change in performance without an object filter:
Benchmark 1: cat-file with no-filter (revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 89.675 s ± 4.527 s [User: 40.807 s, System: 10.782 s]
Range (min … max): 83.052 s … 96.084 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: cat-file with no-filter (revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 88.991 s ± 2.488 s [User: 42.278 s, System: 10.305 s]
Range (min … max): 82.843 s … 91.271 s 10 runs
Summary
cat-file with no-filter (revision = HEAD) ran
1.01 ± 0.06 times faster than cat-file with no-filter (revision = HEAD~)
We still have to scan through all objects as we yield all of them, so
using the bitmap in this case doesn't really buy us anything. What is
noticeable in this benchmark is that we're I/O-bound, not CPU-bound, as
can be seen from the user/system runtimes, which combined are way lower
than the overall benchmarked runtime.
But when we do use a filter we can see a significant improvement:
Benchmark 1: cat-file with filter=object:type=commit (revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 86.444 s ± 4.081 s [User: 36.830 s, System: 11.312 s]
Range (min … max): 80.305 s … 93.104 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: cat-file with filter=object:type=commit (revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 2.089 s ± 0.015 s [User: 1.872 s, System: 0.207 s]
Range (min … max): 2.073 s … 2.119 s 10 runs
Summary
cat-file with filter=object:type=commit (revision = HEAD) ran
41.38 ± 1.98 times faster than cat-file with filter=object:type=commit (revision = HEAD~)
This is because we don't have to scan through all packfiles anymore, but
can instead directly look up relevant objects.

builtin/cat-file: wire up an option to filter objects
In batch mode, git-cat-file(1) enumerates all objects and prints them
by iterating through both loose and packed objects. This works without
considering their reachability at all, and consequently most options to
filter objects as they exist in e.g. git-rev-list(1) are not applicable.
In some situations it may still be useful though to filter objects based
on properties that are inherent to them. This includes the object size
as well as its type.
Such a filter already exists in git-rev-list(1) with the `--filter=`
command line option. While this option supports a couple of filters that
are not applicable to our usecase, some of them are quite a neat fit.
Wire up the filter as an option for git-cat-file(1). This allows us to
reuse the same syntax as in git-rev-list(1) so that we don't have to
reinvent the wheel. For now, we die when any of the filter options has
been passed by the user, but they will be wired up in subsequent
commits.
Further note that the filters that we are about to introduce don't
significantly speed up the runtime of git-cat-file(1). While we can skip
emitting a lot of objects in case they are uninteresting to us, the
majority of time is spent reading the packfile, which is bottlenecked by
I/O and not the processor. This will change though once we start to make
use of bitmaps, which will allow us to skip reading the whole packfile.

builtin/cat-file: introduce function to report object status

Prepare for this by introducing a new function `report_object_status()`
that encapsulates the functionality.
Note that this function also flushes stdout, which is a requirement so
that request-response style batched modes can learn about the status
before proceeding to the next object. We already flush correctly at all
existing callsites, even though the flush in `batch_one_object()` only
comes after the switch statement. That flush is now redundant, and we
could in theory deduplicate it by moving it into all branches that don't
use `report_object_status()`. But that doesn't quite feel sensible:
- The duplicate flush should ultimately just be a no-op for us and
thus shouldn't impact performance significantly.
- By keeping the flush in `report_object_status()` we ensure that all
future callers get semantics correct.
So let's just be pragmatic and live with the duplicated flush.
