When we taught these commands about the sparse index, we did not account
for the fact that the `cmd_*()` functions _can_ be called without a
gitdir, namely when `-h` is passed to show the usage.
A plausible approach to address this is to move the
`prepare_repo_settings()` calls right after the `parse_options()` calls:
The latter will never return when it handles `-h`, and therefore it is
safe to assume that we have a `gitdir` at that point, as long as the
built-in is marked with the `RUN_SETUP` flag.
However, it is unfortunately not that simple. In `cmd_pack_objects()`,
for example, the repo settings need to be fully populated so that the
command-line options `--sparse`/`--no-sparse` can override them, not the
other way round.
Therefore, we choose to imitate the strategy taken in `cmd_diff()`,
where we simply do not bother to prepare and initialize the repo
settings unless we have a `gitdir`.

When adding a new worktree, it is reasonable to expect that we want to
use the current set of sparse-checkout settings for that new worktree.
This is particularly important for repositories where the worktree would
become too large to be useful. This is even more important when using
partial clone as well, since we want to avoid downloading the missing
blobs for files that should not be written to the new worktree.
The only way to create such a worktree without this intermediate step of
expanding the full worktree is to copy the sparse-checkout patterns and
config settings during 'git worktree add'. Each worktree has its own
sparse-checkout patterns, and the default behavior when the
sparse-checkout file is missing is to include all paths at HEAD. Thus,
we need to have patterns from somewhere, they might as well be the
current worktree's patterns. These are then modified independently in
the future.
In addition to the sparse-checkout file, copy the worktree config file
if worktree config is enabled and the file exists. This will copy over
any important settings to ensure the new worktree behaves the same as
the current one. The only exception we must continue to make is that
core.bare and core.worktree should become unset in the worktree's config
file.

`git sparse-checkout set/init` enables worktree-specific
configuration[*] by setting extensions.worktreeConfig=true, but neglects
to perform the additional necessary bookkeeping of relocating
`core.bare=true` and `core.worktree` from $GIT_COMMON_DIR/config to
$GIT_COMMON_DIR/config.worktree, as documented in git-worktree.txt. As a
result of this oversight, these settings, which are nonsensical for
secondary worktrees, can cause Git commands to incorrectly consider a
worktree bare (in the case of `core.bare`) or operate on the wrong
worktree (in the case of `core.worktree`). Fix this problem by taking
advantage of the recently-added init_worktree_config() which enables
`extensions.worktreeConfig` and takes care of necessary bookkeeping.
While at it, for backward-compatibility reasons, also stop upgrading the
repository format to "1" since doing so is (unintentionally) not
required to take advantage of `extensions.worktreeConfig`, as explained
by 11664196ac ("Revert "check_repository_format_gently(): refuse
extensions for old repositories"", 2020-07-15).
[*] The main reason to use worktree-specific config for the
sparse-checkout builtin was to avoid enabling sparse-checkout patterns
in one and causing a loss of files in another. If a worktree does not
have a sparse-checkout patterns file, then the sparse-checkout logic
will not kick in on that worktree.

To improve the submodules UX, we would like to teach Git to handle
branches in submodules. Start this process by teaching "git branch" the
--recurse-submodules option so that "git branch --recurse-submodules
topic" will create the `topic` branch in the superproject and its
submodules.
Although this commit does not introduce breaking changes, it does not
work well with existing --recurse-submodules commands because "git
branch --recurse-submodules" writes to the submodule ref store, but most
commands only consider the superproject gitlink and ignore the submodule
ref store. For example, "git checkout --recurse-submodules" will check
out the commits in the superproject gitlinks (and put the submodules in
detached HEAD) instead of checking out the submodule branches.
Because of this, this commit introduces a new configuration value,
`submodule.propagateBranches`. The plan is for Git commands to
prioritize submodule ref store information over superproject gitlinks if
this value is true. Because "git branch --recurse-submodules" writes to
submodule ref stores, for the sake of clarity, it will not function
unless this configuration value is set.
This commit also includes changes that support working with submodules
from a superproject commit because "branch --recurse-submodules" (and
future commands) need to read .gitmodules and gitlinks from the
superproject commit, but submodules are typically read from the
filesystem's .gitmodules and the index's gitlinks. These changes are:
* add a submodules_of_tree() helper that gives the relevant
information of an in-tree submodule (e.g. path and oid) and
initializes the repository
* add is_tree_submodule_active() by adding a treeish_name parameter to
is_submodule_active()
* add the "submoduleNotUpdated" advice to advise users to update the
submodules in their trees

Normally diffs will contain a hunk header of the format
"@@ -2,2 +2,15 @@ code". However when there is only 1 line of
change, the unified diff format allows for the second comma
separated value to be omitted in either before or after
line counts.
This can produce hunk headers that look like
"@@ -2 +2,18 @@ code" or "@@ -2,2 +2 @@ code".
As a result, scan_hunk_header mistakenly returns the line
number as line count, which then results in unpredictable
parsing errors with the rest of the patch, including giving
multiple lines of output for a single commit.
Fix by explicitly setting line count to 1 when there is
no comma, and add a test.

Since some callers may want to send warning messages to somewhere other
than stdout/stderr, stop printing "warning: Cannot merge binary files"
from ll-merge and instead modify the return status of ll_merge() to
indicate when a merge of binary files has occurred. Message printing
probably does not belong in a "low-level merge" anyway.
This commit continues printing the message as-is, just from the callers
instead of within ll_merge(). Future changes will start handling the
message differently in the merge-ort codepath.
There was one special case here: the callers in rerere.c do NOT check
for and print such a message; since those code paths explicitly skip
over binary files, there is no reason to check for a return status of
LL_MERGE_BINARY_CONFLICT or print the related message.
Note that my methodology included first modifying ll_merge() to return
a struct, so that the compiler would catch all the callers for me and
ensure I had modified all of them. After modifying all of them, I then
changed the struct to an enum.

When this option is specified, we remerge all (two parent) merge commits
and diff the actual merge commit to the automatically created version,
in order to show how users removed conflict markers, resolved the
different conflict versions, and potentially added new changes outside
of conflict regions in order to resolve semantic merge problems (or,
possibly, just to hide other random changes).
This capability works by creating a temporary object directory and
marking it as the primary object store. This makes it so that any blobs
or trees created during the automatic merge are easily removable
afterwards by just deleting all objects from the temporary object
directory.
There are a few ways that this implementation is suboptimal:
* `log --remerge-diff` becomes slow, because the temporary object
directory can fill with many loose objects while running
* the log output can be muddied with misplaced "warning: cannot merge
binary files" messages, since ll-merge.c unconditionally writes those
messages to stderr while running instead of allowing callers to
manage them.
* important conflict and warning messages are simply dropped; thus for
conflicts like modify/delete or rename/rename or file/directory which
are not representable with content conflict markers, there may be no
way for a user of --remerge-diff to know that there had been a
conflict which was resolved (and which possibly motivated other
changes in the merge commit).
* when fixing the previous issue, note that some unimportant conflict
and warning messages might start being included. We should instead
make sure these remain dropped.
Subsequent commits will address these issues.

The reason we do not add the checkpoint before the "pre-receive" hook,

by calling "feed_receive_hook()".

Whenever git is run with the GIT_DIR environment variable set, and

When cloning a branchless and tagless but not refless remote using
protocol v0 or v1, Git calls transport_fetch_refs() with an empty ref
list. This makes the clone fail with the message "remote transport
reported error".
Git should have refrained from calling transport_fetch_refs(), just like
it does in the case that the remote is refless. Therefore, teach Git to
do this.
In protocol v2, this does not happen because the client passes
ref-prefix arguments that filter out non-branches and non-tags in the
ref advertisement, making the remote appear empty.

When 9081a421 (checkout: fix "branch info" memory leaks, 2021-11-16)
cleaned up existing memory leaks, we added an unrelated sanity check
to ensure that a local branch is truly local and not a symref to

ways. First of all, such a tightening did not belong to a leak-fix
patch. And the condition it detected was *not* a bug in our program
but a problem in user data, where warning() or die() would have been
more appropriate.
As the condition is not fatal (the result of computing the local
branch name in the code that is involved in the faulty check is only
used as a textual label for the commit), let's revert the code to
the original state, i.e. strip "refs/heads/" to compute the local
branch name if possible, and otherwise leave it NULL. The consumer
of the information in merge_working_tree() is prepared to see NULL
in there and act accordingly.

There were two commit_lists created in cmd_merge() that were only
conditionally free()'d. Add a quick conditional call to
free_commit_list() for each of them at the end of the function.
Testing this commit against t6404 under valgrind shows that this patch
fixes the following two leaks:
16 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 16 of 126
at 0x484086F: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:380)

There are still 3 leaks in chdir_notify_register() after this, but
chdir_notify_register() has been brought up on the list before and folks
were not a fan of fixing those, so I'm not touching them.

When creating the sparse-checkout file, Git does not create the leading
directory, "$GIT_DIR/info", if it does not exist. This causes problems
if the repository does not have that directory. Therefore, ensure that
the leading directory is created.
This is the only "open" in builtin/sparse-checkout.c that does not have
a leading directory check. (The other one in write_patterns_and_update()
does.)
Note that the test needs to explicitly specify a template when running
"git init" because the default template used in the tests has the
"info/" directory included.

Follow the example set by 12909b6b (i18n: turn "options are
incompatible" into "cannot be used together", 2022-01-05) and use
the same message string to reduce the need for translation.

Document that the accepted variants of the --track option are --track,
--track=direct, and --track=inherit. The equal sign in the latter two
cannot be replaced with whitespace; in general optional arguments need
to be attached firmly to their option.
Put "direct" consistently before "inherit", if only for the reasons
that the former is the default, explained first in the documentation,
and comes before the latter alphabetically.
Mention both modes in the short help so that readers don't have to look
them up in the full documentation. They are literal strings and thus
untranslatable. PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP is inferred due to the pipe
and parenthesis characters, so we don't have to provide that flag
explicitly.
Mention that -t has the same effect as --track and --track=direct.
There is no way to specify inherit mode using the short option, because
short options generally don't accept optional arguments.

When a run command cannot be executed or found, shells return exit code
126 or 127, respectively. Valid run commands are allowed to return
these codes as well to indicate bad revisions, though, for historical
reasons. This means typos can cause bogus bisect runs that go over the
full distance and end up reporting invalid results.
The best solution would be to reserve exit codes 126 and 127, like
71b0251cdd (Bisect run: "skip" current commit if script exit code is
125., 2007-10-26) did for 125, and abort bisect run when we get them.
That might be inconvenient for those who relied on the documentation
stating that 126 and 127 can be used for bad revisions, though.
The workaround used by this patch is to run the command on a known-good
revision and abort if we still get the same error code. This adds one
step to runs with scripts that use exit codes 126 and 127, but keeps
them supported, with one exception: It won't work with commands that
cannot recognize the (manually marked) known-good revision as such.
Run commands that use low exit codes are unaffected. Typos are reported
after executing the missing command twice and three checkouts (the first
step, the known good revision and back to the revision of the first
step).
