reftable/block: avoid decoding keys when searching restart points
When searching over restart points in a block we decode the key of each

Refactor the code so that we can avoid decoding the keys, which saves us
some allocations.

reftable/block: fix error handling when searching restart points
When doing the binary search over restart points in a block we need to

mishandles this because it in fact performs the error check before
calling `binsearch()`.
Fix this bug by checking for errors at the right point in time.
Furthermore, refactor `binsearch()` so that it aborts the search in case
the callback function returns a negative value so that we don't
needlessly continue to search the block.

When environment variable GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER is set, `git
maintenance` invokes the command specified as the variable's value
rather than invoking the actual underlying platform-specific scheduler
management command. By setting GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER to some suitable
value, test authors can therefore validate behavior of "destructive"
`git maintenance` commands without having to worry about clobbering the
user's own local scheduler configuration.
In order to protect an absent-minded test author from forgetting to set
GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER in the local test script (and thus clobbering
his or her own scheduler configuration), t/test-lib.sh assigns an
"immediately error-out" value to GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER by default
which should ensure that the problem will be caught and reported before
any damage can be done to the configuration of the person running the
tests.
Unfortunately, however, t/test-lib.sh neglects to export
GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER, which renders the default "error-out"
assignment worthless. Fix this by exporting the variable as
originally intended.

Printing the chunk again followed by the question can be confusing as
the user has to pay special attention to notice that the same chunk is
being reconsidered.
It can also be problematic if the chunk is longer than one screen height
because the result of the previous iteration is lost off the screen (the
help guide in the previous example).
To avoid such problems, stop printing the chunk if the iteration does
not advance to a different chunk.

t4126: make sure a directory with SP at the end is usable
As afb31ad9 (t1010: fix unnoticed failure on Windows, 2021-12-11)
said:
On Microsoft Windows, a directory name should never end with a period.
Quoting from Microsoft documentation[1]:
Do not end a file or directory name with a space or a period.
Although the underlying file system may support such names, the
Windows shell and user interface does not.
and the condition addressed by this change is exactly that. If the
platform is unable to properly create these sample patches about a
file that lives in a directory whose name ends with a SP, there is
no point testing how "git apply" behaves there on the filesystem.
Even though the ultimate purpose of "git apply" is to apply a patch
and to update the filesystem entities, this particular test is
mainly about parsing a patch on a funny pathname correctly, and even
on a system that is incapable of checking out the resulting state
correctly on its filesystem, at least the parsing can and should work
fine. Rewrite the test to work inside the index without touching the
filesystem.

MyFirstObjectWalk: add stderr to pipe processing
In the last chapter of this document, pipes are used in commands to
filter out the first/last trace messages. But according to git(1),
trace messages are sent to stderr if GIT_TRACE is set to '1', so those
commands do not produce the described results.
Fix this by redirecting stderr to stdout prior to the pipe operator
to additionally connect stderr to stdin of the latter command.
Further, while reviewing the above fix, Kyle Lippincott noticed

config: add core.commentString
The core.commentChar code recently learned to accept more than a
single ASCII character. But using it is annoying with multiple versions
of Git, since older ones will reject it outright:
$ git.v2.44.0 -c core.commentchar=foo stripspace -s
error: core.commentChar should only be one ASCII character
fatal: unable to parse 'core.commentchar' from command-line config
Let's add an alias core.commentString. That's arguably a better name
anyway, since we now can handle strings, and it makes it possible to
have a config that works reasonably with both old and new versions of
Git (see the example in the documentation).
This is strictly an alias, so there's not much point in adding duplicate
tests; I added a single one to t0030 that exercises the alias code.
Note also that the error messages for invalid values will now show the
variable the config parser handed us, and thus will be normalized to
lowercase (rather than camelcase). A few tests in t0030 are adjusted to

Once written, the description is automatically picked up from the

These commit log messges of the merge commits are then propagated to

It has been the maintainer's task to prepare these entries in the

may be in the best position to write the initial description of a

what description to use. The usual procedure has been for the
author to see the topic described in "What's cooking" report, and

workflow in the SubmittingPatches document.

cherry-pick: add `--empty` for more robust redundant commit handling
As with git-rebase(1) and git-am(1), git-cherry-pick(1) can result in a
commit being made redundant if the content from the picked commit is
already present in the target history. However, git-cherry-pick(1) does
not have the same options available that git-rebase(1) and git-am(1) have.
There are three things that can be done with these redundant commits:
drop them, keep them, or have the cherry-pick stop and wait for the user
to take an action. git-rebase(1) has the `--empty` option added in commit e98c4269c8 (rebase (interactive-backend): fix handling of commits that
become empty, 2020-02-15), which handles all three of these scenarios.
Similarly, git-am(1) got its own `--empty` in 7c096b8d61 (am: support
--empty=<option> to handle empty patches, 2021-12-09).
git-cherry-pick(1), on the other hand, only supports two of the three
possiblities: Keep the redundant commits via `--keep-redundant-commits`,
or have the cherry-pick fail by not specifying that option. There is no
way to automatically drop redundant commits.
In order to bring git-cherry-pick(1) more in-line with git-rebase(1) and
git-am(1), this commit adds an `--empty` option to git-cherry-pick(1). It
has the same three options (keep, drop, and stop), and largely behaves
the same. The notable difference is that for git-cherry-pick(1), the
default will be `stop`, which maintains the current behavior when the
option is not specified.
Like the existing `--keep-redundant-commits`, `--empty=keep` will imply
`--allow-empty`.
The `--keep-redundant-commits` option will be documented as a deprecated
synonym of `--empty=keep`, and will be supported for backwards
compatibility for the time being.

sequencer: do not require `allow_empty` for redundant commit options
A consumer of the sequencer that wishes to take advantage of either the
`keep_redundant_commits` or `drop_redundant_commits` feature must also
specify `allow_empty`. However, these refer to two distinct types of
empty commits:
- `allow_empty` refers specifically to commits which start empty
- `keep_redundant_commits` refers specifically to commits that do not
start empty, but become empty due to the content already existing in
the target history
Conceptually, there is no reason that the behavior for handling one of
these should be entangled with the other. It is particularly unintuitive
to require `allow_empty` in order for `drop_redundant_commits` to have
an effect: in order to prevent redundant commits automatically,
initially-empty commits would need to be kept automatically as well.
Instead, rewrite the `allow_empty()` logic to remove the over-arching
requirement that `allow_empty` be specified in order to reach any of the
keep/drop behaviors. Only if the commit was originally empty will
`allow_empty` have an effect.
Note that no behavioral changes should result from this commit -- it
merely sets the stage for future commits. In one such future commit, an
`--empty` option will be added to git-cherry-pick(1), meaning that
`drop_redundant_commits` will be used by that command.

Detect unborn branches in `is_index_unchanged`. When on an unborn

- Use `git switch --orphan unborn` instead of `git checkout --orphan
unborn` to avoid the need for a separate `rm -rf *` call
