9152904c11 git.txt: fix synopsis of --config-env missing the equals sign
When executing `git -h`, then the `--config-env` documentation rightly
lists the option as requiring an equals between the option and its
argument: this is the only currently supported format. But the git(1)
manpage incorrectly lists the option as taking a space in between.

Fix the issue by adding the missing space.

4179b4897f config: allow overriding of global and system configuration
In order to have git run in a fully controlled environment without any
misconfiguration, it may be desirable for users or scripts to override
global- and system-level configuration files. We already have a way of
doing this, which is to unset both HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment
variables and to set `GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL=true`. This is quite kludgy,
and unsetting the first two variables likely has an impact on other
executables spawned by such a script.

The obvious way to fix this would be to introduce `GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL`
as an equivalent to `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM`. But in the past, it has
turned out that this design is inflexible: we cannot test system-level
parsing of the git configuration in our test harness because there is no
way to change its location, so all tests run with `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM`
set.

Instead of doing the same mistake with `GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL`, introduce
two new variables `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL` and `GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM`:

    - If unset, git continues to use the usual locations.

    - If set to a specific path, we skip reading the normal
      configuration files and instead take the path. By setting the path
      to `/dev/null`, no configuration will be loaded for the respective
      level.

This implements the usecase where we want to execute code in a sanitized
environment without any potential misconfigurations via `/dev/null`, but
is more flexible and allows for more usecases than simply adding
`GIT_CONFIG_NOGLOBAL`.

9cf68b27d5 rev-list: allow filtering of provided items
When providing an object filter, it is currently impossible to also
filter provided items. E.g. when executing `git rev-list HEAD` , the
commit this reference points to will be treated as user-provided and is
thus excluded from the filtering mechanism. This makes it harder than
necessary to properly use the new `--filter=object:type` filter given
that even if the user wants to only see blobs, he'll still see commits
of provided references.

Improve this by introducing a new `--filter-provided-objects` option
to the git-rev-parse(1) command. If given, then all user-provided
references will be subject to filtering.

b0c42a53c9 list-objects: implement object type filter
While it already is possible to filter objects by some criteria in
git-rev-list(1), it is not yet possible to filter out only a specific
type of objects. This makes some filters less useful. The `blob:limit`
filter for example filters blobs such that only those which are smaller
than the given limit are returned. But it is unfit to ask only for these
smallish blobs, given that git-rev-list(1) will continue to print tags,
commits and trees.

Now that we have the infrastructure in place to also filter tags and
commits, we can improve this situation by implementing a new filter
which selects objects based on their type. Above query can thus
trivially be implemented with the following command:

    $ git rev-list --objects --filter=object:type=blob \
        --filter=blob:limit=200

Furthermore, this filter allows to optimize for certain other cases: if
for example only tags or commits have been selected, there is no need to
walk down trees.

The new filter is not yet supported in bitmaps. This is going to be
implemented in a subsequent commit.

7531e4b66e parallel-checkout: add configuration options
Make parallel checkout configurable by introducing two new settings:
checkout.workers and checkout.thresholdForParallelism. The first defines
the number of workers (where one means sequential checkout), and the
second defines the minimum number of entries to attempt parallel
checkout.

To decide the default value for checkout.workers, the parallel version
was benchmarked during three operations in the linux repo, with cold
cache: cloning v5.8, checking out v5.8 from v2.6.15 (checkout I) and
checking out v5.8 from v5.7 (checkout II). The four tables below show
the mean run times and standard deviations for 5 runs in: a local file
system on SSD, a local file system on HDD, a Linux NFS server, and
Amazon EFS (all on Linux). Each parallel checkout test was executed with
the number of workers that brings the best overall results in that
environment.

Local SSD:
             Sequential             10 workers            Speedup

Checkout II  5.034 s ± 0.072 s      3.021 s ± 0.038 s     1.67 ± 0.03

Local HDD:
             Sequential             10 workers             Speedup
Clone        32.288 s ± 0.580 s     30.724 s ± 0.522 s    1.05 ± 0.03

Checkout II  40.465 s ± 2.402 s     38.682 s ± 1.365 s    1.05 ± 0.07

Linux NFS server (v4.1, on EBS, single availability zone):

             Sequential             32 workers            Speedup
Clone        240.368 s ± 6.347 s    57.349 s ± 0.870 s    4.19 ± 0.13
Checkout I   242.862 s ± 2.215 s    58.700 s ± 0.904 s    4.14 ± 0.07
Checkout II  65.751 s ± 1.577 s     23.820 s ± 0.407 s    2.76 ± 0.08

EFS (v4.1, replicated over multiple availability zones):

             Sequential             32 workers            Speedup
Clone        922.321 s ± 2.274 s    210.453 s ± 3.412 s   4.38 ± 0.07
Checkout I   1011.300 s ± 7.346 s   297.828 s ± 0.964 s   3.40 ± 0.03
Checkout II  294.104 s ± 1.836 s    126.017 s ± 1.190 s   2.33 ± 0.03

The above benchmarks show that parallel checkout is most effective on
repositories located on an SSD or over a distributed file system. For
local file systems on spinning disks, and/or older machines, the
parallelism does not always bring a good performance. For this reason,
the default value for checkout.workers is one, a.k.a. sequential
checkout.

To decide the default value for checkout.thresholdForParallelism,
another benchmark was executed in the "Local SSD" setup, where parallel
checkout showed to be beneficial. This time, we compared the runtime of
a `git checkout -f`, with and without parallelism, after randomly
removing an increasing number of files from the Linux working tree. The
"sequential fallback" column below corresponds to the executions where
checkout.workers was 10 but checkout.thresholdForParallelism was equal
to the number of to-be-updated files plus one (so that we end up writing
sequentially). Each test case was sampled 15 times, and each sample had
a randomly different set of files removed. Here are the results:

             sequential fallback   10 workers           speedup
10   files    772.3 ms ± 12.6 ms   769.0 ms ± 13.6 ms   1.00 ± 0.02
20   files    780.5 ms ± 15.8 ms   775.2 ms ±  9.2 ms   1.01 ± 0.02
50   files    806.2 ms ± 13.8 ms   767.4 ms ±  8.5 ms   1.05 ± 0.02
100  files    833.7 ms ± 21.4 ms   750.5 ms ± 16.8 ms   1.11 ± 0.04
200  files    897.6 ms ± 30.9 ms   730.5 ms ± 14.7 ms   1.23 ± 0.05
500  files   1035.4 ms ± 48.0 ms   677.1 ms ± 22.3 ms   1.53 ± 0.09
1000 files   1244.6 ms ± 35.6 ms   654.0 ms ± 38.3 ms   1.90 ± 0.12
2000 files   1488.8 ms ± 53.4 ms   658.8 ms ± 23.8 ms   2.26 ± 0.12

From the above numbers, 100 files seems to be a reasonable default value
for the threshold setting.

Note: Up to 1000 files, we observe a drop in the execution time of the
parallel code with an increase in the number of files. This is a rather
odd behavior, but it was observed in multiple repetitions. Above 1000
files, the execution time increases according to the number of files, as
one would expect.

About the test environments: Local SSD tests were executed on an
i7-7700HQ (4 cores with hyper-threading) running Manjaro Linux. Local
HDD tests were executed on an Intel(R) Xeon(R) E3-1230 (also 4 cores
with hyper-threading), HDD Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 SATA 3.1, running
Debian. NFS and EFS tests were executed on an Amazon EC2 c5n.xlarge
instance, with 4 vCPUs. The Linux NFS server was running on a m6g.large
instance with 2 vCPUSs and a 1 TB EBS GP2 volume. Before each timing,
the linux repository was removed (or checked out back to its previous
state), and `sync && sysctl vm.drop_caches=3` was executed.

cfd781ea22 maintenance: use 'git fetch --prefetch'
The 'prefetch' maintenance task previously forced the following refspec
for each remote:

	+refs/heads/*:refs/prefetch/<remote>/*

If a user has specified a more strict refspec for the remote, then this
prefetch task downloads more objects than necessary.

The previous change introduced the '--prefetch' option to 'git fetch'
which manipulates the remote's refspec to place all resulting refs into
refs/prefetch/, with further partitioning based on the destinations of
those refspecs.

Update the documentation to be more generic about the destination refs.
Do not mention custom refspecs explicitly, as that does not need to be
highlighted in this documentation. The important part of placing refs in
refs/prefetch/ remains.

2e03115d0c fetch: add --prefetch option
The --prefetch option will be used by the 'prefetch' maintenance task
instead of sending refspecs explicitly across the command-line. The
intention is to modify the refspec to place all results in
refs/prefetch/ instead of anywhere else.

Create helper method filter_prefetch_refspec() to modify a given refspec
to fit the rules expected of the prefetch task:

 * Negative refspecs are preserved.
 * Refspecs without a destination are removed.
 * Refspecs whose source starts with "refs/tags/" are removed.
 * Other refspecs are placed within "refs/prefetch/".

Finally, we add the 'force' option to ensure that prefetch refs are
replaced as necessary.

There are some interesting cases that are worth testing.

An earlier version of this change dropped the "i--" from the loop that
deletes a refspec item and shifts the remaining entries down. This
allowed some refspecs to not be modified. The subtle part about the
first --prefetch test is that the "refs/tags/*" refspec appears directly
before the "refs/heads/bogus/*" refspec. Without that "i--", this
ordering would remove the "refs/tags/*" refspec and leave the last one
unmodified, placing the result in "refs/heads/*".

It is possible to have an empty refspec. This is typically the case for
remotes other than the origin, where users want to fetch a specific tag
or branch. To correctly test this case, we need to further remove the
upstream remote for the local branch. Thus, we are testing a refspec
that will be deleted, leaving nothing to fetch.

 * For error messages, it was not said that this was only about the

 * For both, it was not clear when a capital letter there was not an
   error.  We avoid capitalizing the first word when the only reason
   you would capitalize it is because it happens to be the first
   word in the sentence.  If a proper noun, which is usually spelled

839a66349e sparse-index: API protection strategy
Edit and expand the sparse-index design document with the plan for
guarding index operations with ensure_full_index().

Notably, the plan has changed to not have an expand_to_path() method in
favor of checking for a sparse-directory hit inside of the
index_path_pos() API.

The changes that follow this one will incrementally add
ensure_full_index() guards to iterations over all cache entries. Some
iterations over the cache entries are not protected due to a few
categories listed in the document. Since these are not being modified,
here is a short list of the files and methods that will not receive
these guards:

Looking for non-zero stage:
* builtin/add.c:chmod_pathspec()
* builtin/merge.c:count_unmerged_entries()
* merge-ort.c:record_conflicted_index_entries()
* read-cache.c:unmerged_index()
* rerere.c:check_one_conflict(), find_conflict(), rerere_remaining()
* revision.c:prepare_show_merge()
* sequencer.c:append_conflicts_hint()
* wt-status.c:wt_status_collect_changes_initial()

Looking for submodules:
* builtin/submodule--helper.c:module_list_compute()
* submodule.c: several methods
* worktree.c:validate_no_submodules()

Part of the index API:
* name-hash.c: lazy init methods
* preload-index.c:preload_thread(), preload_index()
* read-cache.c: file format methods

Checking for correct order of cache entries:
* read-cache.c:check_ce_order()

Ignores SKIP_WORKTREE entries or already aware:
* unpack-trees.c:mark_new_skip_worktree()
* wt-status.c:wt_status_check_sparse_checkout()

calling BUG() also emits an "error" event. See ee4512ed48 (trace2:
create new combined trace facility, 2019-02-22) for the initial
implementation.

The BUG() function did not emit an event then however, that was only
changed later in 0a9dde4a04 (usage: trace2 BUG() invocations,
2021-02-05), that commit changed the code, but didn't update any of
the docs.

Let's also add a cross-reference from api-error-handling.txt.

414abf159f docs: fix linting issues due to incorrect relative section order
Re-order the sections of a few manual pages to be consistent with the
entirety of the rest of our documentation. This allows us to remove
the just-added whitelist of "bad" order from
lint-man-section-order.perl.

I'm doing that this way around so that code will be easy to dig up if
we'll need it in the future. I've intentionally not added some other
sections such as EXAMPLES to the list of known sections.

If we were to add that we'd find some out of order. Perhaps we'll want
to order those consistently as well in the future, at which point
whitelisting some of them might become handy again.

Add a linting script to check the relative order of the sections in
the documentation. We should have NAME, then SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION,
OPTIONS etc. in that order.

That holds true throughout our documentation, except for a few
exceptions which are hardcoded in the linting script.

cafd9828e8 doc lint: lint and fix missing "GIT" end sections
Lint for and fix the three manual pages that were missing the standard
"Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite" end section.

We only do this for the man[157] section documents (we don't have
anything outside those sections), not files to be included,
howto *.txt files etc.

We could also add this to the existing (and then renamed)
lint-gitlink.perl, but I'm not doing that here.

Obviously all of that fits in one script, but I think for something
like this that's a one-off script with global variables it's much
harder to follow when a large part of your script is some if/else or
keeping/resetting of state simply to work around the script doing two
things instead of one.

Especially because in this case this script wants to process the file
as one big string, but lint-gitlink.perl wants to look at it one line
at a time. We could also consolidate this whole thing and
t/check-non-portable-shell.pl, but that one likes to join lines as
part of its shell parsing.

So let's just add another script, whole scaffolding is basically:

    use strict;
    use warnings;
    sub report { ... }
    my $code = 0;
    while (<>) { ... }
    exit $code;

We'd spend more lines effort trying to consolidate them than just
copying that around.

d2c9908076 doc lint: fix bugs in, simplify and improve lint script
The lint-gitlink.perl script added in ab81411ced (ci: validate
"linkgit:" in documentation, 2016-05-04) was more complex than it
needed to be. It:

 - Was using File::Find to recursively find *.txt files in
   Documentation/, let's instead use the Makefile as a source of truth
   for *.txt files, and pass it down to the script.

 - We now don't lint linkgit:* in RelNotes/* or technical/*, which we
   shouldn't have been doing in the first place anyway.

 - When the doc-diff script was added in beb188e22a (add a script to
   diff rendered documentation, 2018-08-06) we started sometimes having
   a "git worktree" under Documentation/.

   This tree contains a full checkout of git.git, as a result the
   "lint" script would recurse into that, and lint any *.txt file
   found in that entire repository.

   In practice the only in-tree "linkgit" outside of the
   Documentation/ tree is contrib/contacts/git-contacts.txt and
   contrib/subtree/git-subtree.txt, so this wouldn't emit any errors

Now we instead simply trust the Makefile to give us *.txt files.
Since the Makefile also knows what sections each page should be in we
don't have to open the files ourselves and try to parse that out. As a
bonus this will also catch bugs with the section line in the files
themselves being incorrect.

The structure of the new script is mostly based on
t/check-non-portable-shell.pl. As an added bonus it will also use
pos() to print where the problems it finds are, e.g. given an issue
like:

    diff --git a/Documentation/git-cherry.txt b/Documentation/git-cherry.txt
    [...]
     and line numbers.  git-cherry therefore detects when commits have been
    -"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[1], linkgit:git-am[1] or
    -linkgit:git-rebase[1].
    +"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[2], linkgit:git-am[3] or
    +linkgit:git-rebase[4].

We'll now emit:

    git-cherry.txt:20: error: git-cherry-pick[2]: wrong section (should be 1), shown with 'HERE' below:
    git-cherry.txt:20:      '"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[2]' <-- HERE
    git-cherry.txt:20: error: git-am[3]: wrong section (should be 1), shown with 'HERE' below:
    git-cherry.txt:20:      '"copied" by means of linkgit:git-cherry-pick[2], linkgit:git-am[3]' <-- HERE

graph of includes.

When doc.dep was introduced in a5ae8e64cf (Fix documentation

TEXTFILES, but it was refactored away just a few commits after that in
fb612d54c1 (Documentation: fix dependency generation.,
2005-11-07). I'm planning to add more wildcards here, so let's bring
it back.

I'm not calling it TEXTFILES because we e.g. don't consider
Documentation/technical/*.txt when generating the graph (they don't
use includes). Let's instead call it DOC_DEP_TXT.

e5b32bffd1 rebase: don't override --no-reschedule-failed-exec with config
Fix a bug in how --no-reschedule-failed-exec interacts with
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true being set in the config. Before this
change the --no-reschedule-failed-exec config option would be
overridden by the config.

This bug happened because of the particulars of how "rebase" works
v.s. most other git commands when it comes to parsing options and
config:

When we read the config and parse the CLI options we correctly prefer
the --no-reschedule-failed-exec option over
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true in the config. So far so good.

However the --reschedule-failed-exec option doesn't take effect when
the rebase starts (we'd just create a
".git/rebase-merge/reschedule-failed-exec" file if it was true). It
only takes effect when the exec command fails, at which point we'll
reschedule the failed "exec" command.

Since we only wrote out the positive
".git/rebase-merge/reschedule-failed-exec" under
--reschedule-failed-exec, but nothing with --no-reschedule-failed-exec
we'll forget that we asked not to reschedule failed "exec", and would
happily re-read the config and see that
rebase.rescheduleFailedExec=true is set.

So the config will effectively override the user having explicitly
disabled the option on the command-line.

Even more confusingly: Since rebase accepts different options based on
its state there wasn't even a way to get around this with "rebase
--continue --no-reschedule-failed-exec" (but you could of course set
the config with "rebase -c ...").

I think the least bad way out of this is to declare that for such
options and config whatever we decide at the beginning of the rebase
goes. So we'll now always create either a "reschedule-failed-exec" or
a "no-reschedule-failed-exec file at the start, not just the former if
we decided we wanted the feature.

With this new worldview you can no longer change the setting once a
rebase has started except by manually removing the state files
discussed above. I think making it work like that is the the least
confusing thing we can do.

In the future we might want to learn to change the setting in the
middle by combining "--edit-todo" with
"--[no-]reschedule-failed-exec", we currently don't support combining
those options, or any other way to change the state in the middle of
the rebase short of manually editing the files in
".git/rebase-merge/*".

The bug being fixed here originally came about because of a
combination of the behavior of the code added in d421afa0c6 (rebase:
introduce --reschedule-failed-exec, 2018-12-10) and the addition of
the config variable in 969de3ff0e (rebase: add a config option to
default to --reschedule-failed-exec, 2018-12-10).

a812789c26 uploadpack.txt: document implication of uploadpackfilter.allow
When `uploadpackfilter.allow` is set to `true`, it means that filters
are enabled by default except in the case where a filter is explicitly
disabled via `uploadpackilter.<filter>.allow`. This option will not only
enable the currently supported set of filters, but also any filters
which get added in the future. As such, an admin which wants to have
tight control over which filters are allowed and which aren't probably
shouldn't ever set `uploadpackfilter.allow=true`.

Amend the documentation to make the ramifications more explicit so that
admins are aware of this.

0996dd3d6d gitweb: add "e-mail privacy" feature to redact e-mail addresses
Gitweb extracts content from the Git log and makes it accessible
over HTTP. As a result, e-mail addresses found in commits are
exposed to web crawlers and they may not respect robots.txt.
This can result in unsolicited messages.

Introduce an 'email-privacy' feature which redacts e-mail addresses
from the generated HTML content. Specifically, obscure addresses
retrieved from the the author/committer and comment sections of the
Git log. The feature is off by default.

This feature does not prevent someone from downloading the
unredacted commit log, e.g., by cloning the repository, and
extracting information from it. It aims to hinder the low-
effort, bulk collection of e-mail addresses by web crawlers.

`git add` already refrains from updating SKIP_WORKTREE entries, but it
silently exits with zero code when it is asked to do so. Instead, let's
warn the user and display a hint on how to update these entries.

Note that we only warn the user whey they give a pathspec item that
matches no eligible path for updating, but it does match one or more
SKIP_WORKTREE entries. A warning was chosen over erroring out right away
to reproduce the same behavior `add` already exhibits with ignored
files. This also allow users to continue their workflow without having
to invoke `add` again with only the eligible paths (as those will have
already been added).

a437390310 userdiff: add support for Scheme
Add a diff driver for Scheme-like languages which recognizes top level
and local `define` forms, whether it is a function definition, binding,
syntax definition or a user-defined `define-xyzzy` form.

Also supports R6RS `library` forms, `module` forms along with class and
struct declarations used in Racket (PLT Scheme).

Alternate "def" syntax such as those in Gerbil Scheme are also
supported, like defstruct, defsyntax and so on.

The rationale for picking `define` forms for the hunk headers is because
it is usually the only significant form for defining the structure of
the program, and it is a common pattern for schemers to have local
function definitions to hide their visibility, so it is not only the top
level `define`'s that are of interest. Schemers also extend the language
with macros to provide their own define forms (for example, something
like a `define-test-suite`) which is also captured in the hunk header.

Since it is common practice to extend syntax with variants of a form
like `module+`, `class*` etc, those have been supported as well.

The word regex is a best-effort attempt to conform to R7RS[1] valid
identifiers, symbols and numbers.
