42dfa7ecef commit_packed_refs(): use a staging file separate from the lockfile
We will want to be able to hold the lockfile for `packed-refs` even
after we have activated the new values. So use a separate tempfile,
`packed-refs.new`, as a place to stage the new contents of the
`packed-refs` file. For now this is all done within
`commit_packed_refs()`, but that will change shortly.

e0cc8ac820 packed_ref_store: make class into a subclass of ref_store
Add the infrastructure to make `packed_ref_store` implement
`ref_store`, at least formally (few of the methods are actually
implemented yet). Change the functions in its interface to take
`ref_store *` arguments. Change `files_ref_store` to store a pointer
to `ref_store *` and to call functions via the virtual `ref_store`
interface where possible. This also means that a few
`packed_ref_store` functions can become static.

This is a work in progress. Some more `ref_store` methods will soon be
implemented (e.g., those having to do with reference transactions).
But some of them will never be implemented (e.g., those having to do
with symrefs or reflogs).

67be7c5a59 packed-backend: new module for handling packed references
Now that the interface between `files_ref_store` and
`packed_ref_store` is relatively narrow, move the latter into a new
module, "refs/packed-backend.h" and "refs/packed-backend.c". It still
doesn't quite implement the `ref_store` interface, but it will soon.

This commit moves code around and adjusts its visibility, but doesn't
change anything.

9e4e8a64c2 pathspec: die on empty strings as pathspec
An empty string as a pathspec element matches all paths.  A buggy
script, however, could accidentally assign an empty string to a
variable that then gets passed to a Git command invocation, e.g.:

  path=... compute a path to be removed in $path ...
        git rm -r "$path"

which would unintentionally remove all paths in the current
directory.

The fix for this issue comprises of two steps. Step 1, which warns
that empty strings as pathspecs will become invalid, has already
been implemented in commit d426430 ("pathspec: warn on empty strings
as pathspec", 2016-06-22).

This patch is step 2. It removes the warning and throws an error
instead.

229a95aafa t0027: do not use an empty string as a pathspec element
In an upcoming update, we will finally make an empty string illegal
as an element in a pathspec; it traditionally meant the same as ".",
i.e. include everything, so update this test that passes "" to pass
a dot instead.

At this point in the test sequence, there is no modified path that
need to be further added before committing; the working tree is
empty except for .gitattributes which was just added to the index.
So we could instead pass no pathspec, but this is a conversion more
faithful to the original.

This patch aims to detangle (a) the usage of `git-submodule`
from (b) the concept of submodules and (c) how the actual
implementation looks like, such as where they are configured
and (d) what the best practices are.

To do so, move the conceptual parts of the 'git-submodule'
man page to a new man page gitsubmodules(7). This new page
is just like gitmodules(5), gitattributes(5), gitcredentials(7),
gitnamespaces(7), gittutorial(7), which introduce a concept
rather than explaining a specific command.

Remove the redundant mentioning of the 'repository' argument

The text is hard to read because of back-references, so remove

Replace the word "humanish" by "canonical" as that conveys better

cc817ca3ef sha1_name: cache readdir(3) results in find_short_object_filename()
Read each loose object subdirectory at most once when looking for unique
abbreviated hashes.  This speeds up commands like "git log --pretty=%h"
considerably, which previously caused one readdir(3) call for each
candidate, even for subdirectories that were visited before.

The new cache is kept until the program ends and never invalidated.  The
same is already true for pack indexes.  The inherent racy nature of
finding unique short hashes makes it still fit for this purpose -- a
conflicting new object may be added at any time.  Tasks with higher
consistency requirements should not use it, though.

The cached object names are stored in an oid_array, which is quite
compact.  The bitmap for remembering which subdir was already read is
stored as a char array, with one char per directory -- that's not quite
as compact, but really simple and incurs only an overhead equivalent to
11 hashes after all.

4ddb1354e8 status: contextually notify user about an initial commit
The existing message, "Initial commit", makes sense for the commit template
notifying users that it's their initial commit, but is confusing when
merely checking the status of a fresh repository (or orphan branch)
without having any commits yet.

Change the output of "status" to say "No commits yet" when "git
status" is run on a fresh repo (or orphan branch), while retaining the
current "Initial commit" message displayed in the template that's
displayed in the editor when the initial commit is being authored.

Correspondingly change the output of "short status" to "No commits yet
on " when "git status -sb" is run on a fresh repo (or orphan branch).

A few alternatives considered were,

 * Waiting for initial commit
 * Your current branch does not have any commits
 * Current branch waiting for initial commit

The most succint one among the alternatives was chosen.

c84a1f3ed4 sha1_file: refactor read_object
read_object() and sha1_object_info_extended() both implement mechanisms
such as object replacement, retrying the packed store after failing to
find the object in the packed store then the loose store, and being able
to mark a packed object as bad and then retrying the whole process.
Consolidating these mechanisms would be a great help to maintainability.

Therefore, consolidate them by extending sha1_object_info_extended() to
support the functionality needed, and then modifying read_object() to
use sha1_object_info_extended().

1f0c0d36c1 sha1_file: rename LOOKUP_REPLACE_OBJECT
The LOOKUP_REPLACE_OBJECT flag controls whether the
lookup_replace_object() function is invoked by
sha1_object_info_extended(), read_sha1_file_extended(), and
lookup_replace_object_extended(), but it is not immediately clear which
functions accept that flag.

Therefore restrict this flag to only sha1_object_info_extended(),
renaming it appropriately to OBJECT_INFO_LOOKUP_REPLACE and adding some
documentation. Update read_sha1_file_extended() to have a boolean
parameter instead, and delete lookup_replace_object_extended().

parse_sha1_header() also passes this flag to
parse_sha1_header_extended() since commit 46f0344 ("sha1_file: support
reading from a loose object of unknown type", 2015-05-03), but that has
had no effect since that commit. Therefore this patch also removes this
flag from that invocation.

19fc5e84a7 sha1_file: rename LOOKUP_UNKNOWN_OBJECT
The LOOKUP_UNKNOWN_OBJECT flag was introduced in commit 46f0344
("sha1_file: support reading from a loose object of unknown type",
2015-05-03) in order to support a feature in cat-file subsequently
introduced in commit 39e4ae3 ("cat-file: teach cat-file a
'--allow-unknown-type' option", 2015-05-03). Despite its name and
location in cache.h, this flag is used neither in
read_sha1_file_extended() nor in any of the lookup functions, but used
only in sha1_object_info_extended().

Therefore rename this flag to OBJECT_INFO_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_TYPE, taking the
name of the cat-file flag that invokes this feature, and move it closer
to the declaration of sha1_object_info_extended(). Also add
documentation for this flag.

OBJECT_INFO_ALLOW_UNKNOWN_TYPE is defined to 2, not 1, to avoid
conflicting with LOOKUP_REPLACE_OBJECT. Avoidance of this conflict is
necessary because sha1_object_info_extended() supports both flags.

2d3c02f5db die(): stop hiding errors due to overzealous recursion guard
Change the recursion limit for the default die routine from a *very*
low 1 to 1024. This ensures that infinite recursions are broken, but
doesn't lose the meaningful error messages under threaded execution
where threads concurrently start to die.

The intent of the existing code, as explained in commit
cd163d4b4e ("usage.c: detect recursion in die routines and bail out
immediately", 2012-11-14), is to break infinite recursion in cases
where the die routine itself calls die(), and would thus infinitely
recurse.

However, doing that very aggressively by immediately printing out
"recursion detected in die handler" if we've already called die() once
means that threaded invocations of git can end up only printing out
the "recursion detected" error, while hiding the meaningful error.

An example of this is running a threaded grep which dies on execution
against pretty much any repo, git.git will do:

    git grep -P --threads=8 '(*LIMIT_MATCH=1)-?-?-?---$'

With the current version of git this will print some combination of
multiple PCRE failures that caused the abort and multiple "recursion
detected", some invocations will print out multiple "recursion
detected" errors with no PCRE error at all!

Before this change, running the above grep command 1000 times against
git.git[1] and taking the top 20 results will on my system yield the
following distribution of actual errors ("E") and recursion
errors ("R"):

    322 E R
    306 E
    116 E R R
     65 R R
     54 R E
     49 E E
     44 R
     15 E R R R
      9 R R R
      7 R E R
      5 R R E
      3 E R R R R
      2 E E R
      1 R R R R
      1 R R R E
      1 R E R R

The exact results are obviously random and system-dependent, but this
shows the race condition in this code. Some small part of the time
we're about to print out the actual error ("E") but another thread's
recursion error beats us to it, and sometimes we print out nothing but
the recursion error.

With this change we get, now with "W" to mean the new warning being
emitted indicating that we've called die() many times:

    502 E
    160 E W E
    120 E E
     53 E W
     35 E W E E
     34 W E E
     29 W E E E
     16 E E W
     16 E E E
     11 W E E E E
      7 E E W E
      4 W E
      3 W W E E
      2 E W E E E
      1 W W E
      1 W E W E
      1 E W W E E E
      1 E W W E E
      1 E W W E
      1 E W E E W

Which still sucks a bit, due to a still present race-condition in this
code we're sometimes going to print out several errors still, or
several warnings, or two duplicate errors without the warning.

But we will never have a case where we completely hide the actual
error as we do now.

Now, git-grep could make use of the pluggable error facility added in
commit c19a490e37 ("usage: allow pluggable die-recursion checks",
2013-04-16). There's other threaded code that calls set_die_routine()
or set_die_is_recursing_routine().

But this is about fixing the general die() behavior with threading
when we don't have such a custom routine yet. Right now the common
case is not an infinite recursion in the handler, but us losing error
messages by default because we're overly paranoid about our recursion
check.

So let's just set the recursion limit to a number higher than the
number of threads we're ever likely to spawn. Now we won't lose
errors, and if we have a recursing die handler we'll still die within
microseconds.

There are race conditions in this code itself, in particular the
"dying" variable is not thread mutexed, so we e.g. won't be dying at
exactly 1024, or for that matter even be able to accurately test
"dying == 2", see the cases where we print out more than one "W"
above.

But that doesn't really matter, for the recursion guard we just need
to die "soon", not at exactly 1024 calls, and for printing the correct
error and only one warning most of the time in the face of threaded
death this is good enough and a net improvement on the current code.

d85d7ecb80 add--interactive: quote commentChar regex
Since c9d961647 (i18n: add--interactive: mark
edit_hunk_manually message for translation, 2016-12-14),
when the user asks to edit a hunk manually, we respect
core.commentChar in generating the edit instructions.
However, when we then strip out comment lines, we use a
simple regex like:

  /^$commentChar/

If your chosen comment character is a regex metacharacter,
then that will behave in a confusing manner ("$", for
instance, would only eliminate blank lines, not actual
comment lines).

We can fix that by telling perl not to respect
metacharacters.

d5addcf522 add--interactive: handle EOF in prompt_yesno
The prompt_yesno function loops indefinitely waiting for a
"y" or "n" response. But it doesn't handle EOF, meaning
that we can end up in an infinite loop of reading EOF from
stdin. One way to simulate that is with:

  echo e | GIT_EDITOR='echo corrupt >' git add -p

Let's break out of the loop and propagate the undef to the
caller. Without modifying the callers that effectively turns
it into a "no" response. This is reasonable for both of the
current callers, and it leaves room for any future caller to
check for undef explicitly.
