tree.c API: move read_tree() into builtin/ls-files.c
Since the read_tree() API was added around the same time as
read_tree_recursive() in 94537c78a82 (Move "read_tree()" to
"tree.c"[...], 2005-04-22) and b12ec373b8e ([PATCH] Teach read-tree
about commit objects, 2005-04-20) things have gradually migrated over
to the read_tree_recursive() version.
Now builtin/ls-files.c is the last user of this code, let's move all
the relevant code there. This allows for subsequent simplification of
it, and an eventual move to read_tree_recursive().

ll_merge() needs an index when renormalization is requested. Create one

NOTE 1: Even if the user has a working copy or a real index (which is

unrelated to HEAD, so .gitattributes from the working copy and current

NOTE 2: Since we are in the middle of merging, there is a risk that
.gitattributes itself is conflicted...leaving us with an ill-defined
situation about how to perform the rest of the merge. It could be that
the .gitattributes file does not even exist on one of the sides of the
merge, or that it has been modified on both sides. If it's been
modified on both sides, it's possible that it could itself be merged
cleanly, though it's also possible that it only merges cleanly if you
use the right version of the .gitattributes file to drive the merge. It
gets kind of complicated. The only test we ever had that attempted to

support, marked it as test_expect_failure from the beginning, but

builtin/pack-objects.c: ignore missing links with --stdin-packs
When 'git pack-objects --stdin-packs' encounters a commit in a pack, it
marks it as a starting point of a best-effort reachability traversal
that is used to populate the name-hash of the objects listed in the
given packs.
The traversal expects that it should be able to walk the ancestors of
all commits in a pack without issue. Ordinarily this is the case, but it
is possible to having missing parents from an unreachable part of the
repository. In that case, we'd consider any missing objects in the
unreachable portion of the graph to be junk.
This should be handled gracefully: since the traversal is best-effort
(i.e., we don't strictly need to fill in all of the name-hash fields),
we should simply ignore any missing links.
This patch does that (by setting the 'ignore_missing_links' bit on the
rev_info struct), and ensures we don't regress in the future by adding a
test which demonstrates this case.
It is a little over-eager, since it will also ignore missing links in
reachable parts of the packs (which would indicate a corrupted
repository), but '--stdin-packs' is explicitly *not* about reachability.
So this step isn't making anything worse for a repository which contains
packs missing reachable objects (since we never drop objects with
'--stdin-packs').

diffcore-rename: determine which relevant_sources are no longer relevant
As noted a few commits ago ("diffcore-rename: only compute
dir_rename_count for relevant directories"), when a source file rename
is used as part of directory rename detection, we need to increment
counts for each ancestor directory in dirs_removed with value
RELEVANT_FOR_SELF. However, a few commits ago ("diffcore-rename: check

downgraded all relevant ancestor directories from RELEVANT_FOR_SELF to
RELEVANT_FOR_ANCESTOR.
For a given file, if no ancestor directory is found in dirs_removed with
a value of RELEVANT_FOR_SELF, then we can downgrade
relevant_source[PATH] from RELEVANT_LOCATION to RELEVANT_NO_MORE. This
means we can skip detecting a rename for that particular path (and any
other paths in the same directory).
For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin
performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28),
this change improves the performance as follows:
Before After
no-renames: 5.680 s ± 0.096 s 5.665 s ± 0.129 s
mega-renames: 13.812 s ± 0.162 s 11.435 s ± 0.158 s
just-one-mega: 506.0 ms ± 3.9 ms 494.2 ms ± 6.1 ms
While this improvement looks rather modest for these testcases (because
all the previous optimizations were sufficient to nearly remove all time
spent in rename detection already), consider this alternative testcase
tweaked from the ones in commit 557ac0350d as follows
For this testcase, we see the following improvement:
Before After
pick-empty: 1.936 s ± 0.024 s 688.1 ms ± 4.2 ms
So roughly a factor of 3 speedup. At $DAYJOB, there was a particular
repository and cherry-pick that inspired this optimization; for that

When one side adds files to a directory that the other side renamed,
directory rename detection is used to either move the new paths to the
newer directory or warn the user about the fact that another path
location might be better.
If a parent of the given directory had new files added to it, any
renames in the current directory are also part of determining where the
parent directory is renamed to. Thus, naively, we need to record each
rename N times for a path at depth N. However, we can use the
additional information added to dirs_removed in the last commit to avoid
traversing all N parent directories in many cases. Let's use an example
to explain how this works. If we have a path named
src/old_dir/a/b/file.c
and src/old_dir doesn't exist on one side of history, but the other
added a file named src/old_dir/newfile.c, then if one side renamed
src/old_dir/a/b/file.c => source/new_dir/a/b/file.c
then this file would affect potential directory rename detection counts
for
src/old_dir/a/b => source/new_dir/a/b
src/old_dir/a => source/new_dir/a
src/old_dir => source/new_dir
src => source
adding a weight of 1 to each in dir_rename_counts. However, if src/
exists on both sides of history, then we don't need to track any entries
for it in dir_rename_counts. That was implemented previously. What we
are adding now, is that if no new files were added to src/old_dir/a or
src/old_dir/b, then we don't need to have counts in dir_rename_count
for those directories either.
In short, we only need to track counts in dir_rename_count for
directories whose dirs_removed value is RELEVANT_FOR_SELF. And as soon
as we reach a directory that isn't in dirs_removed (signalled by
returning the default value of NOT_RELEVANT from strintmap_get()), we

diffcore-rename: take advantage of "majority rules" to skip more renames
In directory rename detection (when a directory is removed on one side
of history and the other side adds new files to that directory), we work
to find where the greatest number of files within that directory were
renamed to so that the new files can be moved with the majority of the
files.
Naively, we can just do this by detecting renames for *all* files within
the removed/renamed directory, looking at all the destination
directories where files within that directory were moved, and if there
is more than one such directory then taking the one with the greatest
number of files as the directory where the old directory was renamed to.
However, sometimes there are enough renames from exact rename detection
or basename-guided rename detection that we have enough information to
determine the majority winner already. Add a function meant to compute
whether particular renames are still needed based on this majority rules
check. The next several commits will then add the necessary
infrastructure to get the information we need to compute which
additional rename sources we can skip.
An important side note for future further optimization:
There is a possible improvement to this optimization that I have not yet
attempted and will not be included in this series of patches: we could
first check whether exact renames provide enough information for us to
determine directory renames, and avoid doing basename-guided rename
detection on some or all of the RELEVANT_LOCATION files within those
directories. In effect, this variant would mean doing the
handle_early_known_dir_renames() both after exact rename detection and
again after basename-guided rename detection, though it would also mean
decrementing the number of "unknown" renames for each rename we found
from basename-guided rename detection. Adding this additional check for
skippable renames right after exact rename detection might turn out to
be valuable, especially for partial clones where it might allow us to
download certain source files entirely. However, this particular
optimization was actually the last one I did in original implementation
order, and by the time I implemented this idea, every testcase I had was
sufficiently fast that further optimization was unwarranted. If future
testcases arise that tax rename detection more heavily (or perhaps
partial clones can benefit from avoiding loading more objects), it may
be worth implementing this more involved variant.

convert: add classification for conv_attrs struct
Create `enum conv_attrs_classification` to express the different ways
that attributes are handled for a blob during checkout.
This will be used in a later commit when deciding whether to add a file

use it in get_stream_filter_ca() to simplify the function (as the

Separate the attribute gathering from the actual conversion by adding
_ca() variants of the conversion functions. These variants receive a
precomputed 'struct conv_attrs', not relying, thus, on an index state.
They will be used in a future patch adding parallel checkout support,
for two reasons:
- We will already load the conversion attributes in checkout_entry(),
before conversion, to decide whether a path is eligible for parallel
checkout. Therefore, it would be wasteful to load them again later,
for the actual conversion.
- The parallel workers will be responsible for reading, converting and
writing blobs to the working tree. They won't have access to the main
process' index state, so they cannot load the attributes. Instead,
they will receive the preloaded ones and call the _ca() variant of
the conversion functions. Furthermore, the attributes machinery is
optimized to handle paths in sequential order, so it's better to leave
it for the main process, anyway.

checkout: don't follow symlinks when removing entries
At 1d718a5108 ("do not overwrite untracked symlinks", 2011-02-20),
symlink.c:check_leading_path() started returning different codes for
FL_ENOENT and FL_SYMLINK. But one of its callers, unlink_entry(), was
not adjusted for this change, so it started to follow symlinks on the
leading path of to-be-removed entries. Fix that and add a regression
test.
Note that since 1d718a5108 check_leading_path() no longer differentiates
the case where it found a symlink in the path's leading components from
the cases where it found a regular file or failed to lstat() the
component. So, a side effect of this current patch is that
unlink_entry() now returns early in all of these three cases. And
because we no longer try to unlink such paths, we also don't get the
warning from remove_or_warn().
For the regular file and symlink cases, it's questionable whether the
warning was useful in the first place: unlink_entry() removes tracked
paths that should no longer be present in the state we are checking out
to. If the path had its leading dir replaced by another file, it means
that the basename already doesn't exist, so there is no need for a
warning. Sure, we are leaving a regular file or symlink behind at the
path's dirname, but this file is either untracked now (so again, no
need to warn), or it will be replaced by a tracked file during the next
phase of this checkout operation.
As for failing to lstat() one of the leading components, the basename
might still exist only we cannot unlink it (e.g. due to the lack of the
required permissions). Since the user expect it to be removed
(especially with checkout's --no-overlay option), add back the warning
in this more relevant case.

fsmonitor: fix memory corruption in some corner cases
In 56c6910028a (fsmonitor: change last update timestamp on the
index_state to opaque token, 2020-01-07), we forgot to adjust the part
of `unpack_trees()` that copies the FSMonitor "last-update" information
that we copy from the source index to the result index since 679f2f9fdd2
(unpack-trees: skip stat on fsmonitor-valid files, 2019-11-20).
Since the "last-update" information is no longer a 64-bit number, but a
free-form string that has been allocated, we need to duplicate it rather
than just copying it.
This is important because there _are_ cases when `unpack_trees()` will
perform a oneway merge that implicitly calls `refresh_fsmonitor()`
(which will allocate that "last-update" token). This happens _after_
that token was copied into the result index. However, we _then_ call
`check_updates()` on that index, which will _also_ call
`refresh_fsmonitor()`, accessing the "last-update" string, which by now
would be released already.
In the instance that lead to this patch, this caused a segmentation
fault during a lengthy, complicated rebase involving the todo command
`reset` that (crucially) had to updated many files. Unfortunately, it
seems very hard to trigger that crash, therefore this patch is not
accompanied by a regression test.

unix-stream-server: create unix domain socket under lock
Create a wrapper class for `unix_stream_listen()` that uses a ".lock"
lockfile to create the unix domain socket in a race-free manner.
Unix domain sockets have a fundamental problem on Unix systems because
they persist in the filesystem until they are deleted. This is
independent of whether a server is actually listening for connections.
Well-behaved servers are expected to delete the socket when they
shutdown. A new server cannot easily tell if a found socket is
attached to an active server or is leftover cruft from a dead server.
The traditional solution used by `unix_stream_listen()` is to force
delete the socket pathname and then create a new socket. This solves
the latter (cruft) problem, but in the case of the former, it orphans
the existing server (by stealing the pathname associated with the
socket it is listening on).
We cannot directly use a .lock lockfile to create the socket because
the socket is created by `bind(2)` rather than the `open(2)` mechanism
used by `tempfile.c`.
As an alternative, we hold a plain lockfile ("<path>.lock") as a
mutual exclusion device. Under the lock, we test if an existing
socket ("<path>") is has an active server. If not, we create a new
socket and begin listening. Then we use "rollback" to delete the
lockfile in all cases.
This wrapper code conceptually exists at a higher-level than the core
unix_stream_connect() and unix_stream_listen() routines that it
consumes. It is isolated in a wrapper class for clarity.

commit: add amend suboption to --fixup to create amend! commit
`git commit --fixup=amend:<commit>` will create an "amend!" commit.
The resulting commit message subject will be "amend! ..." where
"..." is the subject line of <commit> and the initial message
body will be <commit>'s message.
The "amend!" commit when rebased with --autosquash will fixup the

"amend!" commit's message body.
In order to prevent rebase from creating commits with an empty
message we refuse to create an "amend!" commit if commit message

init-db: silence template_dir leak when converting to absolute path
template_dir starts off pointing to either argv or nothing. However if
the value supplied in argv is a relative path, absolute_pathdup() is
used to turn it into an absolute path. absolute_pathdup() allocates
a new string, and we then "leak" it when cmd_init_db() completes.
We don't bother to actually free the return value (instead we UNLEAK
it), because there's no significant advantage to doing so here.
Correctly freeing it would require more significant changes to code flow
which would be more noisy than beneficial.

init: remove git_init_db_config() while fixing leaks
The primary goal of this change is to stop leaking init_db_template_dir.
This leak can happen because:
1. git_init_db_config() allocates new memory into init_db_template_dir
without first freeing the existing value.
2. init_db_template_dir might already contain data, either because:
2.1 git_config() can be invoked twice with this callback in a single
process - at least 2 allocations are likely.
2.2 A single git_config() allocation can invoke the callback multiple
times for a given key (see further explanation in the function
docs) - each of those calls will trigger another leak.
The simplest fix for the leak would be to free(init_db_template_dir)
before overwriting it. Instead we choose to convert to fetching
init.templatedir via git_config_get_value() as that is more explicit,
more efficient, and avoids allocations (the returned result is owned by
the config cache, so we aren't responsible for freeing it).
If we remove init_db_template_dir, git_init_db_config() ends up being
responsible only for forwarding core.* config values to
platform_core_config(). However platform_core_config() already ignores
non-core.* config values, so we can safely remove git_init_db_config()
and invoke git_config() directly with platform_core_config() as the
callback.
The platform_core_config forwarding was originally added in: 287853392a (mingw: respect core.hidedotfiles = false in git-init again, 2019-03-11
And I suspect the potential for a leak existed since the original
implementation of git_init_db_config in: 90b45187ba (Add `init.templatedir` configuration variable., 2010-02-17)

worktree: fix leak in dwim_branch()
Make sure that we release the temporary strbuf during dwim_branch() for
all codepaths (and not just for the early return).
This leak appears to have been introduced in: f60a7b763f (worktree: teach "add" to check out existing branches, 2018-04-24)
Note that UNLEAK(branchname) is still needed: the returned result is
used in add(), and is stored in a pointer which is used to point at one
of:
- a string literal ("HEAD")
- member of argv (whatever the user specified in their invocation)
- or our newly allocated string returned from dwim_branch()
Fixing the branchname leak isn't impossible, but does not seem
worthwhile given that add() is called directly from cmd_main(), and
cmd_main() returns immediately thereafter - UNLEAK is good enough.
This leak was found when running t0001 with LSAN, see also LSAN output

clone: free or UNLEAK further pointers when finished
Most of these pointers can safely be freed when cmd_clone() completes,
therefore we make sure to free them. The one exception is that we
have to UNLEAK(repo) because it can point either to argv[0], or a
malloc'd string returned by absolute_pathdup().
We also have to free(path) in the middle of cmd_clone(): later during
cmd_clone(), path is unconditionally overwritten with a different path,
triggering a leak. Freeing the first path immediately after use (but
only in the case where it contains data) seems like the cleanest
solution, as opposed to freeing it unconditionally before path is reused
for another path. This leak appears to have been introduced in: f38aa83f9a (use local cloning if insteadOf makes a local URL, 2014-07-17)

In the EXAMPLES section, git-push(1) says that 'git push origin' pushes
the current branch to the value of the 'remote.origin.merge'
configuration.
This wording (which dates back to b2ed944af7 (push: switch default from
"matching" to "simple", 2013-01-04)) is incorrect. There is no such
configuration as 'remote.<name>.merge'. This likely was originally
intended to read "branch.<name>.merge" instead.
Indeed, when 'push.default' is 'simple' (which is the default value, and
is applicable in this scenario per "without additional configuration"),
setup_push_upstream() dies if the branch's local name does not match
'branch.<name>.merge'.
Correct this long-standing typo to resolve some recent confusion on the
intended behavior of this example.

doc: describe mergetool configuration in git-mergetool(1)
In particular, this describes mergetool.hideResolved, which can help
users discover this setting (either because it may be useful to them
or in order to understand mergetool's behavior if they have forgotten
setting it in the past).
Tested by running
make -C Documentation git-mergetool.1
man Documentation/git-mergetool.1
and reading through the page.

mergetool: do not enable hideResolved by default
When 98ea309b3f (mergetool: add hideResolved configuration,
2021-02-09) introduced the mergetool.hideResolved setting to reduce
the clutter in viewing non-conflicted sections of files in a
mergetool, it enabled it by default, explaining:
No adverse effects were noted in a small survey of popular mergetools[1]
so this behavior defaults to `true`.
In practice, alas, adverse effects do appear. A few issues:
1. No indication is shown in the UI that the base, local, and remote
versions shown have been modified by additional resolution. This
is inherent in the design: the idea of mergetool.hideResolved is to
convince a mergetool that expects pristine local, base, and remote
files to show partially resolved verisons of those files instead;
there is no additional source of information accessible to the
mergetool to see where the resolution has happened.
(By contrast, a mergetool generating the partial resolution from
conflict markers for itself would be able to hilight the resolved
sections with a different color.)
A user accustomed to seeing the files without partial resolution
gets no indication that this behavior has changed when they upgrade
Git.
2. If the computed merge did not line up the files correctly (for
example due to repeated sections in the file), the partially
resolved files can be misleading and do not have enough information
to reconstruct what happened and compute the correct merge result.
3. Resolving a conflict can involve information beyond the textual
conflict. For example, if the local and remote versions added
overlapping functionality in different ways, seeing the full
unresolved versions of each alongside the base gives information
about each side's intent that makes it possible to come up with a
resolution that combines those two intents. By contrast, when
starting with partially resolved versions of those files, one can
produce a subtly wrong resolution that includes redundant extra
code added by one side that is not needed in the approach taken
on the other.
All that said, a user wanting to focus on textual conflicts with
reduced clutter can still benefit from mergetool.hideResolved=true as
a way to deemphasize sections of the code that resolve cleanly without
requiring any changes to the invoked mergetool. The caveats described
above are reduced when the user has explicitly turned this on, because
then the user is aware of them.
Flip the default to 'false'.
