A typical "git revert" commit uses the full title of the original
commit in its title, and starts its body of the message with:
This reverts commit 8fa7f667cf61386257c00d6e954855cc3215ae91.
This does not encourage the best practice of describing not just
"what" (i.e. "Revert X" on the title says what we did) but "why"
(i.e. and it does not say why X was undesirable).
We can instead phrase this first line of the body to be more like
This reverts commit 8fa7f667 (do this and that, 2022-04-25)
so that the title does not have to be
Revert "do this and that"
We can instead use the title to describe "why" we are reverting the
original commit.
Introduce the "--reference" option to "git revert", and also the
revert.reference configuration variable, which defaults to false, to
tweak the title and the first line of the draft commit message for
when creating a "revert" commit.
When this option is in use, the first line of the pre-filled editor
buffer becomes a comment line that tells the user to say _why_. If
the user exits the editor without touching this line by mistake,
what we prepare to become the first line of the body, i.e. "This
reverts commit 8fa7f667 (do this and that, 2022-04-25)", ends up to
be the title of the resulting commit. This behaviour is designed to
help such a user to identify such a revert in "git log --oneline"
easily so that it can be further reworded with "git rebase -i" later.

A couple of work around for CI breaking warnings from gcc 12.
* cb/buggy-gcc-12-workaround:
config.mak.dev: alternative workaround to gcc 12 warning in http.c
config.mak.dev: workaround gcc 12 bug affecting "pedantic" CI job
This provides a "no code change needed" option to the "fix" currently
queued as part of ab/http-gcc-12-workaround and therefore should be
reverted once that gets merged.

Originally noticed by Peff[1], but yet to be corrected[2] and planned to
be released with Fedora 36 (scheduled for Apr 19).
dir.c: In function ‘git_url_basename’:
dir.c:3085:13: error: ‘memchr’ specified bound [9223372036854775808, 0] exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807 [-Werror=stringop-overread]

Fedora is used as part of the CI, and therefore that release will trigger
failures, unless the version of the image used is locked to an older
release, as an alternative.
Restricting the flag to the affected source file, as well as implementing
an independent facility to track these workarounds was specifically punted
to minimize the risk of introducing problems so close to a release.
This change should be reverted once the underlying gcc bug is solved and
which should be visible by NOT triggering a warning, otherwise.

We do not have to guess how common the mistake the change targets is
when describing it. Such an argument may be good while proposing a
change, but does not quite belong in the record of what has already
happened, i.e. a release note.

This reverts commit 2a0cafd464,
as it expects a working "a ref deletion must produce a single
transaction, not one for loose and another for packed" topic,
which we do not have.
With the addition of the safe.directory in 8959555ce
(setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level directory,
2022-03-02) released in v2.35.2, we are receiving feedback from a
variety of users about the feature.
Some users have a very large list of shared repositories and find it
cumbersome to add this config for every one of them.
In a more difficult case, certain workflows involve running Git commands
within containers. The container boundary prevents any global or system
config from communicating `safe.directory` values from the host into the
container. Further, the container almost always runs as a different user
than the owner of the directory in the host.
To simplify the reactions necessary for these users, extend the
definition of the safe.directory config value to include a possible '*'
value. This value implies that all directories are safe, providing a
single setting to opt-out of this protection.
Note that an empty assignment of safe.directory clears all previous
values, and this is already the case with the "if (!value || !*value)"
condition.

It seems that nothing is ever checking to make sure the safe directories
in the configs actually have the key safe.directory, so some unrelated
config that has a value with a certain directory would also make it a
safe directory.

It is difficult to change the ownership on a directory in our test
suite, so insert a new GIT_TEST_ASSUME_DIFFERENT_OWNER environment
variable to trick Git into thinking we are in a differently-owned
directory. This allows us to test that the config is parsed correctly.

The "FUNNYNAMES" test prerequisite passes on Cygwin, as the Cygwin
file system interface has a workaround for the underlying operating
system's lack of support for tabs, newlines or quotes. However, it does
not add support for backslash, which is treated as a directory
separator, meaning one of the tests added by 48803821b1 ("completion:
handle unusual characters for sparse-checkout", 2022-02-07) will fail on
Cygwin.
To avoid this failure while still getting maximal test coverage, split
that test into two: test handling of paths that include tabs on anything
that has the FUNNYNAMES prerequisite, but skip testing handling of paths
that include backslashes unless both FUNNYNAMES is set and the system is
not Cygwin.
It might be nice to have more granularity than "FUNNYNAMES" and its
sibling "FUNNIERNAMES" provide, so that tests could be run based on
specific individual characters supported by the file system being
tested, but that seems like it would make the prerequisite checks in
this area much more verbose for very little gain.
