Both t1409 and t3210 exercise parts of git-pack-refs(1). Given that we
must check the on-disk files to verify whether the backend has indeed
packed refs as expected those test suites are deeply tied to the actual
backend that is in use.
Mark the test suites to depend on the REFFILES backend.

In 10f5c52656 (submodule: avoid auto-discovery in
prepare_submodule_repo_env(), 2016-09-01) we fixed a bug when doing a
recursive fetch with submodule in the case where the submodule is broken
due to whatever reason. The test to exercise that the fix works breaks
the submodule by deleting its `HEAD` reference, which will cause us to
not detect the directory as a Git repository.
While this is perfectly fine in theory, this way of breaking the repo
becomes problematic with the current efforts to introduce another refdb
backend into Git. The new reftable backend has a stub HEAD file that
always contains "ref: refs/heads/.invalid" so that tools continue to be
able to detect such a repository. But as the reftable backend will never
delete this file even when asked to delete `HEAD` the current way to
delete the `HEAD` reference will stop working.
Adapt the code to instead delete the objects database. Going back with
this new way to cause breakage confirms that it triggers the infinite
recursion just the same, and there are no equivalent ongoing efforts to
replace the object database with an alternate backend.

With 59c35fac54 (refs/packed-backend.c: implement jump lists to avoid
excluded pattern(s), 2023-07-10) we have implemented logic to handle
excluded refs more efficiently in the "packed" ref backend. This logic
allows us to skip emitting refs completely which we know to not be of
any interest to the caller, which can avoid quite some allocations and
object lookups.
This was wired up via a new `exclude_patterns` parameter passed to the
backend's ref iterator. The backend only needs to handle them on a best
effort basis though, and in fact we only handle it for the "packed-refs"
file, but not for loose references. Consequently, all callers must still
filter emitted refs with those exclude patterns.
The result is that handling exclude patterns is completely optional in
the ref backend, and any future backends may or may not implement it.
Let's thus mark the test for t1419 to depend on the REFFILES prereq.
An alternative would be to introduce a new prereq that tells us whether
the backend under test supports exclude patterns or not. But this does
feel a bit overblown:
- It would either map to the REFFILES prereq, in which case it feels
overengineered because the prereq is only ever relevant to t1419.
- Otherwise, it could auto-detect whether the backend supports exclude
patterns. But this could lead to silent failures in case the support
for this feature breaks at any point in time.
It should thus be good enough to just use the REFFILES prereq for now.
If future backends ever grow support for exclude patterns we can easily
add their respective prereq as another condition for this test suite to
execute.

In t1302 we exercise logic around "core.repositoryFormatVersion" and
extensions. These tests are not particularly robust against extensions
like the newly introduced "refStorage" extension as we tend to clobber
the repository's config file. We thus overwrite any extensions that were
set, which may render the repository inaccessible in case it has to be
accessed with a non-default ref storage.
Refactor the tests to be more robust:
- Check the DEFAULT_REPO_FORMAT prereq to determine the expected
repository format version. This helps to ensure that we only need to
update the prereq in a central place when new extensions are added.
Furthermore, this allows us to stop seeding the now-unneeded object
ID cache that was only used to figure out the repository version.
- Use a separate repository to rewrite ".git/config" to test
combinations of the repository format version and extensions. This
ensures that we don't break the main test repository. While we could
rewrite these tests to not overwrite preexisting extensions, it
feels cleaner like this so that we can test extensions standalone
without interference from the environment.
- Do not rewrite ".git/config" when exercising the "preciousObjects"
extension.

In t1301 we verify whether reflog files written by the "files" ref
backend correctly honor permissions when "core.sharedRepository" is set.
The test logic is thus specific to the reffiles backend and will not

The t1300 test suite exercises the git-config(1) tool. To do so, the
test overwrites ".git/config" to contain custom contents in several
places with code like the following:
```
cat > .git/config <<\EOF
...
EOF
```
While this is easy enough to do, it may create problems when using a
non-default repository format because this causes us to overwrite the
repository format version as well as any potential extensions. With the
upcoming "reftable" ref backend the result is that Git would try to
access refs via the "files" backend even though the repository has been
initialized with the "reftable" backend, which will cause failures when
trying to access any refs.
Ideally, we would rewrite the whole test suite to not depend on state
written by previous tests, but that would result in a lot of changes in
this test suite. Instead, we only refactor tests which access the refdb
to be more robust by using their own separate repositories, which allows
us to be more careful and not discard required extensions.
Note that we also have to touch up how the CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE gets
accessed. This environment variable contains the relative path to a
custom config file which we're setting up. But because we are now using
subrepositories, this relative path will not be found anymore because
our working directory changes. This issue is addressed by storing the
absolute path to the file in CUSTOM_CONFIG_FILE instead.

Memory pool allocations that require a new block and would fill at
least half of it are handled specially. Before 158dfeff3d (mem-pool:
add life cycle management functions, 2018-07-02) they used to be
allocated outside of the pool. This patch made mem_pool_alloc() create
a bespoke block instead, to allow releasing it when the pool gets
discarded.
Unfortunately mem_pool_alloc() returns a pointer to the start of such a
bespoke block, i.e. to the struct mp_block at its top. When the caller
writes to it, the management information gets corrupted. This affects
mem_pool_discard() and -- if there are no other blocks in the pool --
also mem_pool_alloc().
Return the payload pointer of bespoke blocks, just like for smaller
allocations, to protect the management struct.
Also update next_free to mark the block as full. This is only strictly
necessary for the first allocated block, because subsequent ones are
inserted after the current block and never considered for further
allocations, but it's easier to just do it in all cases.
Add a basic unit test to demonstrate the issue by using
mem_pool_calloc() with a tiny block size, which forces the creation of a
bespoke block.

93851746 (parse-options: decouple "--end-of-options" and "--",
2023-12-06) updated the world order to make callers of parse-options
that set PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT responsible for deciding what to
do with "--end-of-options" they may see after parse_options() returns.
This made a previous bug in sparse-checkout more visible; namely,
that
git sparse-checkout [add|set] --[no-]cone --end-of-options ...
would simply treat "--end-of-options" as one of the paths to include in
the sparse-checkout. But this was already problematic before; namely,
git sparse-checkout [add|set| --[no-]cone --sikp-checks ...
would not give an error on the mis-typed "--skip-checks" but instead
simply treat "--sikp-checks" as a path or pattern to include in the
sparse-checkout, which is highly unfriendly.
This behavior began when the command was converted to parse-options in
7bffca95ea (sparse-checkout: add '--stdin' option to set subcommand,
2019-11-21). Back then it was just called KEEP_UNKNOWN. Later it was
renamed to KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT in 99d86d60e5 (parse-options:
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN only applies to --options, 2022-08-19) to clarify
that it was only about dashed options; we always keep non-option
arguments. Looking at that original patch, both Peff and I think that
the author was simply confused about the mis-named option, and really
just wanted to keep the non-option arguments. We never should have used
the flag all along (and the other cases were cargo-culted within the
file).
Remove the erroneous PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN_OPT flag now to fix this
bug. Note that this does mean that anyone who might have been using
git sparse-checkout [add|set] [--[no-]cone] --foo --bar
to request paths or patterns '--foo' and '--bar' will now have to use
git sparse-checkout [add|set] [--[no-]cone] -- --foo --bar
That makes sparse-checkout more consistent with other git commands,
provides users much friendlier error messages and behavior, and is
consistent with the all-caps warning in git-sparse-checkout.txt that
this command "is experimental...its behavior...will likely change". :-)
