sparse-checkout: fix OOM error with mixed patterns
Add a test to t1091-sparse-checkout-builtin.sh that would result in an
infinite loop and out-of-memory error before this change. The issue
relies on having non-cone-mode patterns while trying to modify the
patterns in cone-mode.
The fix is simple, allowing us to break from the loop when the input
path does not contain a slash, as the "dir" pattern we added does not.
This is only a fix to the critical out-of-memory error. A better
response to such a strange state will follow in a later change.

sparse-checkout: fix segfault on malformed patterns
Then core.sparseCheckoutCone is enabled, the sparse-checkout patterns are
used to populate two hashsets that accelerate pattern matching. If the user
modifies the sparse-checkout file outside of the 'sparse-checkout' builtin,
then strange patterns can happen, triggering some error checks.
One of these error checks is possible to hit when some special characters
exist in a line. A warning message is correctly written to stderr, but then
there is additional logic that attempts to remove the line from the hashset
and free the data. This leads to a segfault in the 'git sparse-checkout
list' command because it iterates over the contents of the hashset, which is
now invalid.
The fix here is to stop trying to remove from the hashset. In addition,
we disable cone mode sparse-checkout because of the malformed data. This
results in the pattern-matching working with a possibly-slower
algorithm, but using the patterns as they are in the sparse-checkout
file.
This also changes the behavior of commands such as 'git sparse-checkout
list' because the output patterns will be the contents of the
sparse-checkout file instead of the list of directories. This is an
existing behavior for other types of bad patterns.
Add a test that triggers the segfault without the code change.

SubmittingPatchs: clarify choice of base and testing
We encourage identifying what, among many topics on `next`, exact
topics a new work depends on, instead of building directly on
`next`. Let's clarify this in the documentation.
Developers should know what they are building on top of, and be
aware of which part of the system is currently being worked on.
Encouraging them to make trial merges to `next` and `seen`
themselves will incentivize them to read others' changes and
understand them, eventually helping the developers to coordinate
among themselves and reviewing each others' changes.
cat-file: use GET_OID_ONLY_TO_DIE in --(textconv|filters)
Change the cat_one_file() logic that calls get_oid_with_context()
under --textconv and --filters to use the GET_OID_ONLY_TO_DIE flag,
thus improving the error messaging emitted when e.g. <path> is missing
but <rev> is not.
To service the "cat-file" use-case we need to introduce a new
"GET_OID_REQUIRE_PATH" flag, otherwise it would exit early as soon as
a valid "HEAD" was resolved, but in the "cat-file" case being changed
we always need a valid revision and path.
This arguably makes the "<bad rev>:<bad path>" and "<bad
rev>:<good (in HEAD) path>" use cases worse, as we won't quote the
<path> component at the user anymore, but let's just use the existing
logic "git log" et al use for now. We can improve the messaging for
those cases as a follow-up for all callers.

Change the usage output emitted on "git cat-file -h" to group related

The new output is:
Check object existence or emit object contents
-e check if <object> exists
-p pretty-print <object> content
Emit [broken] object attributes
-t show object type (one of 'blob', 'tree', 'commit', 'tag', ...)
-s show object size
--allow-unknown-type allow -s and -t to work with broken/corrupt objects
Batch objects requested on stdin (or --batch-all-objects)
--batch[=<format>] show full <object> or <rev> contents
--batch-check[=<format>]
like --batch, but don't emit <contents>
--batch-all-objects with --batch[-check]: ignores stdin, batches all known objects
Change or optimize batch output
--buffer buffer --batch output
--follow-symlinks follow in-tree symlinks
--unordered do not order objects before emitting them
Emit object (blob or tree) with conversion or filter (stand-alone, or with batch)
--textconv run textconv on object's content
--filters run filters on object's content
--path blob|tree use a <path> for (--textconv | --filters ); Not with 'batch'
The old usage was:
<type> can be one of: blob, tree, commit, tag
-t show object type
-s show object size
-e exit with zero when there's no error
-p pretty-print object's content
--textconv for blob objects, run textconv on object's content
--filters for blob objects, run filters on object's content
--batch-all-objects show all objects with --batch or --batch-check
--path <blob> use a specific path for --textconv/--filters
--allow-unknown-type allow -s and -t to work with broken/corrupt objects
--buffer buffer --batch output
--batch[=<format>] show info and content of objects fed from the standard input
--batch-check[=<format>]
show info about objects fed from the standard input
--follow-symlinks follow in-tree symlinks (used with --batch or --batch-check)
--unordered do not order --batch-all-objects output
While shorter, I think the new one is easier to understand, as

only be combined with those options. The same goes for "--buffer",
"--unordered" etc.

With the migration of --batch-all-objects to OPT_CMDMODE() in the
preceding commit one bug with combining it and other OPT_CMDMODE()
options was solved, but we were still left with e.g. --buffer silently
being discarded when not in batch mode.
Fix all those bugs, and in addition emit errors telling the user
specifically what options can't be combined with what other options,
before this we'd usually just emit the cryptic usage text and leave
the users to work it out by themselves.
This change is rather large, because to do so we need to untangle the
options processing so that we can not only error out, but emit
sensible errors, and e.g. emit errors about options before errors
about stray argc elements (as they might become valid if the option
were removed).
Some of the output changes ("error:" to "fatal:" with
usage_msg_opt[f]()), but none of the exit codes change, except in
those cases where we silently accepted bad option combinations before,
now we'll error out.

since grown[5] checks that it can't be combined with other command
modes, when it should just be made a top-level command-mode

For systems with a broken /bin/sh, we allow to override that path via
SHELL_PATH. To run tests in yet another shell we allow to override
SHELL_PATH with TEST_SHELL_PATH.
Perf tests run in $SHELL via a wrapper defined in t/perf/perf-lib.sh,

git-p4: remove "rollback" verb
The "rollback" verb implements a simple algorithm which takes the set of
remote perforce tracker branches, or optionally, the complete collection
of local branches in a git repository, and deletes commits from these
branches until there are no commits left with a perforce change number
greater than than a user-specified change number. If the base of a git
branch has a newer change number than the user-specified maximum, then
the branch is deleted.
In future, there might be an argument for the addition of some kind of
"reset this branch back to a given perforce change number" verb for
git-p4. However, in its current form it is unlikely to be useful to
users for the following reasons:
* The verb is completely undocumented. The only description provided
contains the following text: "A tool to debug the multi-branch
import. Don't use :)".
* The verb has a very narrow purpose in that it applies the rollback
operation to fixed sets of branches - either all remote p4 branches,
or all local branches. There is no way for users to specify branches
with more granularity, for example, allowing users to specify a
single branch or a set of branches. The utility of the current
implementation is therefore a niche within a niche.

The verb was implemented early in the history of git-p4, and may once

test-read-cache: remove --table, --expand options
This commit effectively reverts 2782db3 (test-tool: don't force full

with --table, 2021-03-30) to remove the --table and --expand options
from 'test-tool read-cache'. The previous changes already removed these
options from the test suite in favor of 'git ls-files --sparse'.
The initial thought of creating these options was to allow for tests to
see additional information with every cache entry. In particular, the
object type is still not mirrored in 'git ls-files'. Since sparse
directory entries always end with a slash, the object type is not
critical to verify the sparse index is enabled. It was thought that it
would be helpful to have additional information, such as flags, but that
was not needed for the FS Monitor integration and hasn't been needed

The .gitmodules file will never be inside a sparse directory entry, and

fast-export: fix surprising behavior with --first-parent
The revision traversal machinery typically processes and returns all
children before any parent. fast-export needs to operate in the
reverse fashion, handling parents before any of their children in
order to build up the history starting from the root commit(s). This
would be a clear case where we could just use the revision traversal
machinery's "reverse" option to achieve this desired affect.
However, this wasn't what the code did. It added its own array for
queuing. The obvious hand-rolled solution would be to just push all
the commits into the array and then traverse afterwards, but it didn't
quite do that either. It instead attempted to process anything it
could as soon as it could, and once it could, check whether it could
process anything that had been queued. As far as I can tell, this was
an effort to save a little memory in the case of multiple root commits
since it could process some commits before queueing all of them. This
involved some helper functions named has_unshown_parent() and
handle_tail(). For typical invocations of fast-export, this
alternative essentially amounted to a hand-rolled method of reversing
the commits -- it was a bunch of work to duplicate the revision
traversal machinery's "reverse" option.
This hand-rolled reversing mechanism is actually somewhat difficult to
reason about. It takes some time to figure out how it ensures in
normal cases that it will actually process all traversed commits
(rather than just dropping some and not printing anything for them).
And it turns out there are some cases where the code does drop commits
without handling them, and not even printing an error or warning for
the user. Due to the has_unshown_parent() checks, some commits could
be left in the array at the end of the "while...get_revision()" loop
which would be unprocessed. This could be triggered for example with
git fast-export main -- --first-parent
or non-sensical traversal rules such as
git fast-export main -- --grep=Merge --invert-grep
While most traversals that don't include all parents should likely
trigger errors in fast-export (or at least require being used in
combination with --reference-excluded-parents), the --first-parent
traversal is at least reasonable and it'd be nice if it didn't just drop
commits. It'd also be nice for future readers of the code to have a
simpler "reverse traversal" mechanism. Use the "reverse" option of the
revision traversal machinery to achieve both.
Even for the non-sensical traversal flags like the --grep one above,
this would be an improvement. For example, in that case, the code
previously would have silently truncated history to only those commits
that do not have an ancestor containing "Merge" in their commit message.
After this code change, that case would include all commits without
"Merge" in their commit message -- but any commit that previously had a
"Merge"-mentioning parent would lose that parent
(likely resulting in many new root commits). While the new behavior is
still odd, it is at least understandable given that
--reference-excluded-parents is not the default.

branch: add flags and config to inherit tracking
It can be helpful when creating a new branch to use the existing
tracking configuration from the branch point. However, there is
currently not a method to automatically do so.
Teach git-{branch,checkout,switch} an "inherit" argument to the
"--track" option. When this is set, creating a new branch will cause the
tracking configuration to default to the configuration of the branch
point, if set.
For example, if branch "main" tracks "origin/main", and we run
`git checkout --track=inherit -b feature main`, then branch "feature"
will track "origin/main". Thus, `git status` will show us how far
ahead/behind we are from origin, and `git pull` will pull from origin.
This is particularly useful when creating branches across many
submodules, such as with `git submodule foreach ...` (or if running with
a patch such as [1], which we use at $job), as it avoids having to
manually set tracking info for each submodule.
Since we've added an argument to "--track", also add "--track=direct" as
another way to explicitly get the original "--track" behavior ("--track"
without an argument still works as well).
Finally, teach branch.autoSetupMerge a new "inherit" option. When this
is set, "--track=inherit" becomes the default behavior.

(0) check out the current topic-B.
(1) find the previous merge of topic-A into topic-B.
(2) detach the HEAD to the parent of the previous merge.
(3) merge the updated topic-A to it.
(4) reapply the patches to rebuild the rest of topic-B.
(5) update topic-B with the result.
without contaminating the reflog of topic-B too much. topic-B@{1}
is the "logically previous" state before topic-A got updated, for
example. At (4), comparison (e.g. range-diff) between HEAD and
@{-1} is a meaningful way to sanity check the result, and the same
can be done at (5) by comparing topic-B and topic-B@{1}.
But there is one glitch. The merge into the detached HEAD done in
the step (3) above gives us "Merge branch 'topic-A' into HEAD", and
does not say "into topic-B".
Teach the "--into-name=<branch>" option to "git merge" and its
underlying "git fmt-merge-message", to pretend as if we were merging
into <branch>, no matter what branch we are actually merging into,

usual "into <target>" suppression mechanism, which can be seen in

In the world of multi-pack-index bitmaps, we no longer need to repack

git-p4: resolve RCS keywords in bytes not utf-8
RCS keywords are strings that are replaced with information from
Perforce. Examples include $Date$, $Author$, $File$, $Change$ etc.
Perforce resolves these by expanding them with their expanded values
when files are synced, but Git's data model requires these expanded
values to be converted back into their unexpanded form.
Previously, git-p4.py would implement this behaviour through the use of
regular expressions. However, the regular expression substitution was
applied using decoded strings i.e. the content of incoming commit diffs
was first decoded from bytes into UTF-8, processed with regular
expressions, then converted back to bytes.
Not only is this behaviour inefficient, but it is also a cause of a
common issue caused by text files containing invalid UTF-8 data. For
files created in Windows, CP1252 Smart Quote Characters (0x93 and 0x94)
are seen fairly frequently. These codes are invalid in UTF-8, so if the
script encountered any file containing them, on Python 2 the symbols
will be corrupted, and on Python 3 the script will fail with an
exception.
This patch replaces this decoding/encoding with bytes object regular
expressions, so that the substitution is performed directly upon the
source data with no conversions.
A test for smart quote handling has been added to the
t9810-git-p4-rcs.sh test suite.

git-p4: open temporary patch file for write only
The patchRCSKeywords method creates a temporary file in which to store
the patched output data. Previously this file was opened in "w+" mode
(write and read), but the code never reads the contents of the file
while open, so it only needs to be opened in "w" mode (write-only).

stash: don't show "git stash push" usage on bad "git stash" usage
Change the usage message emitted by "git stash --invalid-option" to
emit usage information for "git stash" in general, and not just for
the "push" command. I.e. before:
That we emitted the usage for just "push" in the case of the
subcommand not being explicitly specified was an unintentional
side-effect of how it was implemented. When it was converted to C in d553f538b8a (stash: convert push to builtin, 2019-02-25) the pattern
of having per-subcommand usage information was rightly continued. The
"git-stash.sh" shellscript did not have that, and always printed the
equivalent of "git_stash_usage".
But in doing so the case of push being implicit and explicit was
conflated. A variable was added to track this in 8c3713cede7 (stash:
eliminate crude option parsing, 2020-02-17), but it did not update the
usage output accordingly.
This still leaves e.g. "git stash push -h" emitting the
"git_stash_usage" output, instead of "git_stash_push_usage". That
should be fixed, but is a much deeper misbehavior in parse_options()
not being aware of subcommands at all. I.e. in how
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP combine in
commands such as "git stash".
Perhaps PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN should imply
PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP, or better yet parse_options() should be
extended to fully handle these subcommand cases that we handle
manually in "git stash", "git commit-graph", "git multi-pack-index"
etc. All of those musings would be a much bigger change than this
isolated fix though, so let's leave that for some other time.

help: make auto-correction prompt more consistent
There are three callsites of git_prompt() helper function that ask a
"yes/no" question to the end user, but one of them in help.c that
asks if the suggested auto-correction is OK, which is given when the
user makes a possible typo in a Git subcommand name, is formatted

Since that the command 'git-format-patch' can include patches of

doc/config: mark ssh allowedSigners example as literal
The discussion for gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile shows an example string
that contains "user1@example.com,user2@example.com". Asciidoc thinks
these are real email addresses and generates "mailto" footnotes for
them. This makes the rendered content more confusing, as it has extra
"[1]" markers:
The file consists of one or more lines of principals followed by an
ssh public key. e.g.: user1@example.com[1],user2@example.com[2]
ssh-rsa AAAAX1... See ssh-keygen(1) "ALLOWED SIGNERS" for details.
and also generates pointless notes at the end of the page:
We can fix this by putting the example into a backtick literal block.
That inhibits the mailto generation, and as a bonus typesets the example
text in a way that sets it off from the regular prose (a tt font for
html, or bold in the roff manpage).

upload-pack.c: increase output buffer size
When serving a fetch, git upload-pack copies data from a git
pack-objects stdout pipe to its stdout. This commit increases the size
of the buffer used for that copying from 8192 to 65515, the maximum
sideband-64k packet size.
Previously, this buffer was allocated on the stack. Because the new
buffer size is nearly 64KB, we switch this to a heap allocation.
On GitLab.com we use GitLab's pack-objects cache which does writes of
65515 bytes. Because of the default 8KB buffer size, propagating these
cache writes requires 8 pipe reads and 8 pipe writes from
git-upload-pack, and 8 pipe reads from Gitaly (our Git RPC service).
If we increase the size of the buffer to the maximum Git packet size,
we need only 1 pipe read and 1 pipe write in git-upload-pack, and 1
pipe read in Gitaly to transfer the same amount of data. In benchmarks
with a pure fetch and 100% cache hit rate workload we are seeing CPU
utilization reductions of over 30%.
