784ceccb91 packed-backend: fsck should warn when "packed-refs" file is empty
We assume the "packed-refs" won't be empty and instead has at least one
line in it (even when there are no refs packed, there is the file header
line). Because there is no terminating LF in the empty file, we will
report "packedRefEntryNotTerminated(ERROR)" to the user.

However, the runtime code paths would accept an empty "packed-refs"
file, for example, "create_snapshot" would simply return the "snapshot"
without checking the content of "packed-refs". So, we should skip
checking the content of "packed-refs" when it is empty during fsck.

After 694b7a1999 (repack_without_ref(): write peeled refs in the
rewritten file, 2013-04-22), we would always write a header into the
"packed-refs" file. So, versions of Git that are not too ancient never
write such an empty "packed-refs" file.

As an empty file often indicates a sign of a filesystem-level issue, the
way we want to resolve this inconsistency is not make everybody totally
silent but notice and report the anomaly.

Let's create a "FSCK_INFO" message id "EMPTY_PACKED_REFS_FILE" to report
to the users that "packed-refs" is empty.

785c17df78 parse-options: rename OPT_MAGNITUDE() to OPT_UNSIGNED()
With the preceding commit, `OPT_INTEGER()` has learned to support unit
factors. Consequently, the major differencen between `OPT_INTEGER()` and
`OPT_MAGNITUDE()` isn't the support of unit factors anymore, as both of
them do support them now. Instead, the difference is that one handles
signed and the other handles unsigned integers.

Adapt the name of `OPT_MAGNITUDE()` accordingly by renaming it to
`OPT_UNSIGNED()`.

8ff1a34bdf parse-options: support unit factors in OPT_INTEGER()
There are two main differences between `OPT_INTEGER()` and
`OPT_MAGNITUDE()`:

  - The former parses signed integers whereas the latter parses unsigned
    integers.

  - The latter parses unit factors like 'k', 'm' or 'g'.

While the first difference makes obvious sense, there isn't really a
good reason why signed integers shouldn't support unit factors, too.

This inconsistency will also become a bit of a problem with subsequent
commits, where we will fix a couple of callsites that pass an unsigned
integer to `OPT_INTEGER()`. There are three options:

  - We could adapt those users to instead pass a signed integer, but
    this would needlessly extend the range of accepted integer values.

  - We could convert them to use `OPT_MAGNITUDE()`, as it only accepts
    unsigned integers. But now we have the inconsistency that we also
    start to accept unit factors.

  - We could introduce `OPT_UNSIGNED()` as equivalent to `OPT_INTEGER()`
    so that it knows to only accept unsigned integers without unit
    suffix.

Introducing a whole new option type feels a bit excessive. There also
isn't really a good reason why `OPT_INTEGER()` cannot be extended to
also accept unit factors: all valid values passed to such options cannot
have a unit factors right now, so there wouldn't be any ambiguity.

Refactor `OPT_INTEGER()` to use `git_parse_int()`, which knows to
interpret unit factors. This removes the inconsistency between the
signed and unsigned options so that we can easily fix up callsites that
pass the wrong integer type right now.

65e3757c24 meson.build: only set build variables for non-default values
Some preprocessor -Defines have defaults set in the source code when
they have not been provided to the C compiler. In this case, there is
no need to pass them on the command-line, unless the build requires a
non-standard value.

The build variables for DEFAULT_EDITOR and DEFAULT_PAGER have appropriate
defaults ('vi' and 'less') set in the code. Add the preprocessor -Defines
to the 'libgit_c_args' only if the values set with the corresponding
'options' are different to these standard values.

Also, the 'git-var' documentation contains some conditional text which
documents the chosen compiled in value, which would not read well for
the standard values. Similar to the above, only add the corresponding
'-a' attribute arguments to the 'asciidoc_common_options' variable, if
the values set in the 'options' are different to these standard values.

a7fa5b2f0c Documentation: stop depending on Perl to generate command list
The "cmd-list.perl" script is used to extract the list of commands part
of a specific category and extracts the description of each command from
its respective manpage. The generated output is then included in git(1)
to list all Git commands.

The script is written in Perl. Refactor it to use shell scripting
exclusively so that we can get rid of the mandatory dependency on Perl
to build our documentation.

The converted script is slower compared to its Perl implementation. But
by being careful and not spawning external commands in `format_one ()`
we can mitigate the performance hit to a reasonable level:

    Benchmark 1: Perl
      Time (mean ± σ):      10.3 ms ±   0.2 ms    [User: 7.0 ms, System: 3.3 ms]
      Range (min … max):    10.0 ms …  11.1 ms    200 runs

    Benchmark 2: Shell
      Time (mean ± σ):      74.4 ms ±   0.4 ms    [User: 48.6 ms, System: 24.7 ms]
      Range (min … max):    73.1 ms …  75.5 ms    200 runs

    Summary
      Perl ran
        7.23 ± 0.13 times faster than Shell

While a sevenfold slowdown is significant, the benefit of not requiring
Perl for a fully-functioning Git installation outweighs waiting a couple
of milliseconds longer during the build process.

ad45b327c0 merge-recursive.[ch]: thoroughly debug these
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
of merge-recursive.[ch].

2e806d8464 merge-ort: enable diff-algorithms other than histogram
The ort merge strategy has always used the histogram diff algorithm.
The recursive merge strategy, in contrast, defaults to the myers
diff algorithm, while allowing it to be changed.

Change the ort merge strategy to allow different diff algorithms, by
removing the hard coded value in merge_start() and instead just making
it a default in init_merge_options().  Technically, this also changes
the default diff algorithm for the recursive backend too, but we're
going to remove the final callers of the recursive backend in the next
two commits.

221e8fcb7f 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:

  rejected SP (<old-oid> | <old-target>) SP (<new-oid> | <new-target>) SP <rejection-reason> LF

Update the documentation to reflect this change and also tests to cover
different scenarios where an update could be rejected.

8e0a1ec076 builtin/maintenance: introduce "reflog-expire" task
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.

ce76cec964 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
transitively includes "reftable/system.h" and thus "git-zlib.h".

4d253071dd 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.
