28dc93bab0 Merge branch 'rs/t-prio-queue-cleanup'
t-prio-queue test has been cleaned up by using C99 compound
literals; this is meant to also serve as a weather-balloon to smoke
out folks with compilers who have trouble compiling code that uses
the feature.

67e943c308 update-ref: use {old,new}-oid instead of {old,new}value
The `git-update-ref` command is used to modify references. The usage of
{old,new}value in the documentation refers to the OIDs. This is fine
since the command only works with regular references which hold OIDs.
But if the command is updated to support symrefs, we'd also be dealing
with {old,new}-refs.

To improve clarity around what exactly {old,new}value mean, let's rename
it to {old,new}-oid.

73cb87773b test-lib: fix non-functioning GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER fallback
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.

6412d01527 add: use advise_if_enabled for ADVICE_ADD_EMBEDDED_REPO
By following a similar reasoning as in previous commits, there are no
reason why we should not use the advise_if_enabled() API to display the
ADVICE_ADD_EMBEDDED_REPO advice.

This advice was introduced in 532139940c (add: warn when adding an
embedded repository, 2017-06-14).  Some tests were included in the
commit, but none is testing this advice.  Which, note, we only want to
display once per run.

So, use the advise_if_enabled() machinery to show the
ADVICE_ADD_EMBEDDED_REPO advice and include a test to notice any
possible breakage.

1028db00f7 add: use advise_if_enabled for ADVICE_ADD_EMPTY_PATHSPEC
Since 93b0d86aaf (git-add: error out when given no arguments.,
2006-12-20) we display a message when no arguments are given to "git
add".

Part of that message was converted to advice in bf66db37f1 (add: use
advise function to display hints, 2020-01-07).

Following the same line of reasoning as in the previous commit, it is
sensible to use advise_if_enabled() here.

Therefore, use advise_if_enabled() in builtin/add.c to show the
ADVICE_ADD_EMPTY_PATHSPEC advice, and don't bother checking there the
visibility of the advice or displaying the instruction on how to disable
it.

Also add a test for these messages, in order to detect a possible
change in them.

9da49befd0 add: use advise_if_enabled for ADVICE_ADD_IGNORED_FILE
Since b3b18d1621 (advice: revamp advise API, 2020-03-02), we can use
advise_if_enabled() to display an advice.  This API encapsulates three
actions:
	1.- checking the visibility of the advice

	2.- displaying the advice when appropriate

	3.- displaying instructions on how to disable the advice, when
	    appropriate

The code we have in builtin/add.c to display the ADVICE_ADD_IGNORED_FILE
advice, is doing these three things.  However, the instructions
displayed on how to disable the hint are not shown in the normalized way
that advise_if_enabled() introduced.  This may cause distraction.

There is no reason not to use the new API here.  On the contrary, by
using it we gain simplicity in the code and avoid possible distractions.

For these reasons, use the newer advise_if_enabled() machinery to show
the ADVICE_ADD_IGNORED_FILE advice, and don't bother checking the
visibility or displaying the instruction on how to disable the advice.

b9f2e1a684 checkout: omit "tracking" information on a detached HEAD
By definition, a detached HEAD state is tentative and there is no
configured "upstream" that it always wants to integrate with.  But
if you detach from a branch that is behind its upstream, e.g.,

    $ git checkout -t -b main origin/main
    $ git checkout main
    $ git reset --hard HEAD^
    $ git checkout --detach main

you'd see "you are behind your upstream origin/main".  This does not
happen when you replace the last step in the above with any of these

    $ git checkout HEAD^0
    $ git checkout --detach HEAD
    $ git checkout --detach origin/main

Before 32669671 (checkout: introduce --detach synonym for "git
checkout foo^{commit}", 2011-02-08) introduced the "--detach"
option, the rule to decide if we show the tracking information
used to be:

    If --quiet is not given, and if the given branch name is a real
    local branch (i.e. the one we can compute the file path under
    .git/, like 'refs/heads/master' or "HEAD" which stand for the
    name of the current branch", then give the tracking information.

to exclude things like "git checkout master^0" (which was the
official way to detach HEAD at the commit before that commit) and
"git checkout origin/master^0" from showing tracking information,
but still do show the tracking information for the current branch
for "git checkout HEAD".  The introduction of an explicit option
"--detach" broke this subtley.  The new rule should have been

    If --quiet is given, do not bother with tracking info.
    If --detach is given, do not bother with tracking info.

    Otherwise, if we know that the branch name given is a real local
    branch, or if we were given "HEAD" and "HEAD" is not detached,
    then attempt to show the tracking info.

but it allowed "git checkout --detach master" to also show the
tracking info by mistake.  Let's tighten the rule to fix this.

2d8cf94b28 advice: omit trailing whitespace
Git tools all consistently encourage users to avoid whitespaces at
the end of line by giving them features like "git diff --check" and
"git am --whitespace=fix".  Make sure that the advice messages we
give users avoid trailing whitespaces.  We shouldn't be wasting
vertical screen real estate by adding blank lines in advice messages
that are supposed to be concise hints, but as long as we write such
blank line in our "hints", we should do it right.

012c8b307d 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.

    [1]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/naming-a-file

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.

9ccf3e9b22 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
match.

ec79d763de 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.

bd2f9fd025 cherry-pick: enforce --keep-redundant-commits incompatibility
When `--keep-redundant-commits` was added in  b27cfb0d8d
(git-cherry-pick: Add keep-redundant-commits option, 2012-04-20), it was
not marked as incompatible with the various operations needed to
continue or exit a cherry-pick (`--continue`, `--skip`, `--abort`, and
`--quit`).

Enforce this incompatibility via `verify_opt_compatible` like we do for
the other various options.

1b90588d62 sequencer: handle unborn branch with --allow-empty
When using git-cherry-pick(1) with `--allow-empty` while on an unborn
branch, an error is thrown. This is inconsistent with the same
cherry-pick when `--allow-empty` is not specified.

Detect unborn branches in `is_index_unchanged`. When on an unborn
branch, use the `empty_tree` as the tree to compare against.

Add a new test to cover this scenario. While modelled off of the
existing 'cherry-pick on unborn branch' test, some improvements can be
made:

- Use `git switch --orphan unborn` instead of `git checkout --orphan
  unborn` to avoid the need for a separate `rm -rf *` call
- Avoid using `--quiet` in the `git diff` call to make debugging easier
  in the event of a failure. Use simply `--exit-code` instead.

Make these improvements to the existing test as well as the new test.

c282eba2d5 rebase: update --empty=ask to --empty=stop
When git-am(1) got its own `--empty` option in 7c096b8d61 (am: support
--empty=<option> to handle empty patches, 2021-12-09), `stop` was used
instead of `ask`. `stop` is a more accurate term for describing what
really happens, and consistency is good.

Update git-rebase(1) to also use `stop`, while keeping `ask` as a
deprecated synonym. Update the tests to primarily use `stop`, but also
ensure that `ask` is still allowed.

In a future commit, we'll be adding a new `--empty` option for
git-cherry-pick(1) as well, making the consistency even more relevant.

0af38890ad docs: address inaccurate --empty default with --exec
The documentation for git-rebase(1) indicates that using the `--exec`
option will use `--empty=drop`. This is inaccurate: when `--interactive`
is not explicitly provided, `--exec` results in `--empty=keep`
behaviors.

Correctly indicate the behavior of `--exec` using `--empty=keep` when
`--interactive` is not specified.

f999d5188b pretty: find pretty formats case-insensitively
User-defined pretty formats are stored in config, which is meant to use
case-insensitive matching for names as noted in config.txt's 'Syntax'
section:

    All the other lines [...] are recognized as setting variables, in
    the form 'name = value' [...]. The variable names are
    case-insensitive, [...].

When a user specifies one of their format aliases with an uppercase in
it, however, it is not found.

    $ git config pretty.testAlias %h
    $ git config --list | grep pretty
    pretty.testalias=%h
    $ git log --format=testAlias -1
    fatal: invalid --pretty format: testAlias
    $ git log --format=testalias -1
    3c2a3fdc38

This is true whether the name in the config file uses any uppercase
characters or not.

Use case-insensitive comparisons when identifying format aliases.
