The sparse-checkout feature is mostly hidden to users, as its
only documentation is supplementary information in the docs for
'git read-tree'. In addition, users need to know how to edit the
.git/info/sparse-checkout file with the right patterns, then run
the appropriate 'git read-tree -mu HEAD' command. Keeping the
working directory in sync with the sparse-checkout file requires
care.
Begin an effort to make the sparse-checkout feature a porcelain
feature by creating a new 'git sparse-checkout' builtin. This
builtin will be the preferred mechanism for manipulating the
sparse-checkout file and syncing the working directory.
The documentation provided is adapted from the "git read-tree"
documentation with a few edits for clarity in the new context.
Extra sections are added to hint toward a future change to
a more restricted pattern set.

When the %.cocci.patch target was defined in 63f0a758a0 (add coccicheck
make target, 2016-09-15), it included a mechanism to suppress the noisy
output, similar to the $(QUIET_<x>) family of variables.
In the case where one wants to inspect the output hidden by
$(QUIET_<x>), one could define $(V) for verbose output. In the
%.cocci.patch target, this was not implemented.
Move the output suppression into the $(QUIET_SPATCH) variable which is
used like the other $(QUIET_<x>) variables. While we're at it, change
the number of spaces printed from 5 to 4, like the other variables
there.

by similarity to pick the best candidate, which means that a tie

The `qsort()` function is not guaranteed to be stable, i.e. it does not
promise to maintain the order of items it is told to consider equal. In
contrast, the `git_sort()` function we carry in `compat/qsort.c` _is_
stable, by virtue of implementing a merge sort algorithm.
In preparation for using a stable sort in Git's rename detection, move
the stable sort into `libgit.a` so that it is compiled in
unconditionally, and rename it to `git_stable_qsort()`.
Note: this also makes the hack obsolete that was introduced in
fe21c6b285 (mingw: reencode environment variables on the fly (UTF-16
<-> UTF-8), 2018-10-30), where we included `compat/qsort.c` directly in
`compat/mingw.c` to use the stable sort.

Currently, when testing headers using `make hdr-check`, headers are
directly compiled. Although this seems to test the headers, this is too
strict since we treat the headers as C sources. As a result, this will
cause warnings to appear that would otherwise not, such as a static
variable definition intended for later use throwing a unused variable
warning.
In addition, on platforms that can run `make hdr-check` but require
custom flags, this target was failing because none of them were being
passed to the compiler. For example, on MacOS, the NO_OPENSSL flag was
being set but it was not being passed into compiler so the check was
failing.
Fix these problems by emulating the compile process better, including
test compiling dummy *.hcc C sources generated from the *.h files and
passing $(ALL_CFLAGS) into the compiler for the $(HCO) target so that
these custom flags can be used.

Before, when running the "coccicheck" target, only the source files
which were being compiled would have been checked by Coccinelle.
However, just because we aren't compiling a source file doesn't mean we
have to exclude it from analysis. This will allow us to catch more
mistakes, in particular ones that affect Windows-only sources since
Coccinelle currently runs only on Linux.
Make the "coccicheck" target run on all C sources except for those that
are taken from some third-party source. We don't want to patch these
files since we want them to be as close to upstream as possible so that
it'll be easier to pull in upstream updates.
When running a build on Arch Linux with no additional flags provided,
after applying this patch, the following sources are now checked:
* block-sha1/sha1.c
* compat/access.c
* compat/basename.c

Instead of generating $(FOUND_C_SOURCES) from a
`$(shell $(FIND_SOURCE_FILES))` invocation, an alternative design was
considered which involved converting $(FIND_SOURCE_FILES) into
$(SOURCE_FILES) which would hold a list of filenames from the
$(FIND_SOURCE_FILES) invocation. We would simply filter `%.c` files into
$(ALL_C_SOURCES). $(SOURCE_FILES) would then be passed directly to the
etags, ctags and cscope commands. We can see from the following
invocation
$ git ls-files '*.[hcS]' '*.sh' ':!*[tp][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]*' ':!contrib' | wc -c
12779
that the number of characters in this list would pose a problem on
platforms with short command-line length limits (such as CMD which has a
max of 8191 characters). As a result, we don't perform this change.
However, we can see that the same issue may apply when running
Coccinelle since $(COCCI_SOURCES) is also a list of filenames:
if ! echo $(COCCI_SOURCES) | xargs $$limit \
$(SPATCH) --sp-file $< $(SPATCH_FLAGS) \
>$@+ 2>$@.log; \
This is justified since platforms that support Coccinelle generally have
reasonably long command-line length limits and so we are safe for the
foreseeable future.

Currently, $(FIND_SOURCE_FILES) has two modes: if `git ls-files` is

it will use `$(FIND) .` to enumerate the files in the directory.
There is a subtle difference between these two methods, however. With
ls-files, filenames don't have a leading `./` while with $(FIND), they
do. This does not currently pose a problem but in a future patch, we
will be using `filter-out` to process the list of files with the
assumption that there is no prefix.

'progress.c' has seen a few fixes recently [1], and, unfortunately,
some of those fixes required further fixes [2]. It seems it's time to
have a few tests focusing on the subtleties of the progress display.
Add the 'test-tool progress' subcommand to help testing the progress
display, reading instructions from standard input and turning them
into calls to the display_progress() and display_throughput()
functions with the given parameters.
The progress display is, however, critically dependent on timing,
because it's only updated once every second or, if the toal is known
in advance, every 1%, and there is the throughput rate as well. These
make the progress display far too undeterministic for testing as-is.
To address this, add a few testing-specific variables and functions to
'progress.c', allowing the the new test helper to:
- Disable the triggered-every-second SIGALRM and set the
'progress_update' flag explicitly based in the input instructions.
This way the progress line will be updated deterministically when
the test wants it to be updated.
- Specify the time elapsed since start_progress() to make the
throughput rate calculations deterministic.
Add the new test script 't0500-progress-display.sh' to check a few
simple cases with and without throughput, and that a shorter progress
line properly covers up the previously displayed line in different
situations.

lines, 2019-04-12) and 9f1fd84e15 (progress: clear previous
progress update dynamically, 2019-04-12).

With this patch, Git can be built using the Microsoft toolchain, via:
make MSVC=1 [DEBUG=1]
Third party libraries are built from source using the open source
"vcpkg" tool set. See https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
On a first build, the vcpkg tools and the third party libraries are
automatically downloaded and built. DLLs for the third party libraries
are copied to the top-level (and t/helper) directory to facilitate
debugging. See compat/vcbuild/README.
A series of .bat files are invoked by the Makefile to find the location
of the installed version of Visual Studio and the associated compiler
tools (essentially replicating the environment setup performed by a
"Developer Command Prompt"). This should find the most recent VS2015 or
VS2017 installation. Output from these scripts are used by the Makefile
to define compiler and linker pathnames and -I and -L arguments.
The build produces .pdb files for both debug and release builds.
Note: This commit was squashed from an organic series of commits
developed between 2016 and 2018 in Git for Windows' `master` branch.
This combined commit eliminates the obsolete commits related to fetching
NuGet packages for third party libraries. It is difficult to use NuGet
packages for C/C++ sources because they may be built by earlier versions
of the MSVC compiler and have CRT version and linking issues.
Additionally, the C/C++ NuGet packages that we were using tended to not
be updated concurrently with the sources. And in the case of cURL and
OpenSSL, this could expose us to security issues.

We have many GIT_TEST_* variables that accept a <boolean> because
they're implemented in C, and then some that take <non-empty?> because
they're implemented at least partially in shellscript.
Add a helper that wraps git_env_bool() and git_env_ulong() as the
first step in fixing this. This isn't being added as a test-tool mode
because some of these are used outside the test suite.
Part of what this tool does can be done via a trick with "git config"
added in 83d842dc8c ("tests: turn on network daemon tests by default",
2014-02-10) for test_tristate(), i.e.:
git -c magic.variable="$1" config --bool magic.variable 2>/dev/null
But as subsequent changes will show being able to pass along the
default value makes all the difference, and we'll be able to replace
test_tristate() itself with that.
The --type=bool option will be used by subsequent patches, but not
--type=ulong. I figured it was easy enough to add it & test for it so
I left it in so we'd have wrappers for both git_env_*() functions, and
to have a template to make it obvious how we'd add --type=int etc. if
it's needed in the future.

The way of specifying the path to find dynamic libraries at runtime
has been simplified. The old default to pass -R/path/to/dir has been

Change our default CC_LD_DYNPATH invocation to something GCC likes
these days. Since the GCC 4.6 release unknown flags haven't been
passed through to ld(1). Thus our previous default of CC_LD_DYNPATH=-R
would cause an error on modern GCC unless NO_R_TO_GCC_LINKER was set.
This CC_LD_DYNPATH flag is really obscure, and I don't expect anyone
except those working on git development ever use this.
It's not needed to simply link to libraries like say libpcre,
but *only* for those cases where we're linking to such a library not
present in the OS's library directories. See e.g. ldconfig(8) on Linux
for more details.
I use this to compile my git with a LIBPCREDIR=$HOME/g/pcre2/inst as
I'm building that from source, but someone maintaining an OS package
is almost certainly not going to use this. They're just going to set
USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease after installing the libpcre dependency,
which'll point to OS libraries which ld(1) will find without the help
of CC_LD_DYNPATH.
Another thing that helps mitigate any potential breakage is that we
detect the right type of invocation in configure.ac, which e.g. HP/UX
uses[1], as does IBM's AIX package[2]. From what I can tell both AIX
and Solaris packagers are building git with GCC, so I'm not adding a
corresponding config.mak.uname default to cater to their OS-native
linkers.

pass runtime libpath with -R", 2006-12-27) the NO_R_TO_GCC flag was
added, allowing optional use of "-Wl,-rpath=".
Then in f5b904db6b ("Makefile: Allow CC_LD_DYNPATH to be overriden",
2008-08-16) the ability to override this flag to something else
entirely was added, as some linkers use neither "-Wl,-rpath," nor
"-R".
From what I can tell we should, with the benefit of hindsight, have
made this change back in 2006. GCC & ld supported this type of
invocation back then, or since at least binutils-gdb.git's[3]
a1ad915dc4 ("[...]Add support for -rpath[...]", 1994-07-20).
Further reading and prior art can be found at [4][5][6][7]. Making a
plain "-R" an error seems from reading those reports to have been
introduced in GCC 4.6 released on March 25, 2011[8], but I couldn't
confirm this with absolute certainty, its release notes are ambiguous
on the subject, and I couldn't be bothered to try to build & bisect it
against GCC 4.5.

The only remaining scripted part of `git rebase` is the
`--preserve-merges` backend. Meaning: there is little reason to keep the
"library of common rebase functions" as a separate file.
While moving the functions to `git-rebase--preserve-merges.sh`, we also
drop the `move_to_original_branch` function that is no longer used.

Since 21853626ea (built-in rebase: call `git am` directly, 2019-01-18),
the built-in rebase already uses the built-in `git am` directly.
Now that d03ebd411c (rebase: remove the rebase.useBuiltin setting,
2019-03-18) even removed the scripted rebase, there is no longer any
user of `git-rebase--am.sh`, so let's just remove it.

Workaround for standard-compliant but less-than-useful behaviour of
access(2) for the root user.
* cc/access-on-aix-workaround:
git-compat-util: work around for access(X_OK) under root
The internal implementation of "git rebase -i" has been updated to
avoid forking a separate "rebase--interactive" process.
* pw/rebase-i-internal:
rebase -i: run without forking rebase--interactive
rebase: use a common action enum
rebase -i: use struct rebase_options in do_interactive_rebase()
rebase -i: use struct rebase_options to parse args
rebase -i: use struct object_id for squash_onto
rebase -i: use struct commit when parsing options
rebase -i: remove duplication
rebase -i: combine rebase--interactive.c with rebase.c
rebase: use OPT_RERERE_AUTOUPDATE()
rebase: rename write_basic_state()
rebase: don't translate trace strings
sequencer: always discard index after checkout
A "ls-files" that emulates "find" to enumerate files in the working
tree resulted in duplicated Makefile rules that caused the build to
issue an unnecessary warning during a trial build after merge
conflicts are resolved in working tree *.h files but before the
resolved results are added to the index. This has been corrected.
* jc/make-dedup-ls-files-output:
Makefile: dedup list of files obtained from ls-files
Polishing of the new trace2 facility continues. The system-level
configuration can specify site-wide trace2 settings, which can be
overridden with per-user configuration and environment variables.
* jh/trace2-sid-fix:
trace2: fixup access problem on /etc/gitconfig in read_very_early_config
trace2: update docs to describe system/global config settings
trace2: make SIDs more unique
trace2: clarify UTC datetime formatting
trace2: report peak memory usage of the process
trace2: use system/global config for default trace2 settings
config: add read_very_early_config()
trace2: find exec-dir before trace2 initialization
trace2: add absolute elapsed time to start event
trace2: refactor setting process starting time
config: initialize opts structure in repo_read_config()
"make check-docs", "git help -a", etc. did not account for cases
where a particular build may deliberately omit some subcommands,
which has been corrected.
* js/misc-doc-fixes:
Turn `git serve` into a test helper
test-tool: handle the `-C <directory>` option just like `git`
check-docs: do not bother checking for legacy scripts' documentation
docs: exclude documentation for commands that have been excluded
check-docs: allow command-list.txt to contain excluded commands
help -a: do not list commands that are excluded from the build
Makefile: drop the NO_INSTALL variable
remote-testgit: move it into the support directory for t5801
If you have the memory to handle it, the ideal case is to run a single
spatch invocation with all of the source files. But the only way to do
so now is to pick an arbitrarily large batch size. Let's make "0" do
this, which is a little friendlier (and doesn't otherwise have a useful
meaning).

Previously the switching branch business of 'git checkout' becomes a
new command 'switch'. This adds the restore command for the checking
out paths path.
Similar to git-switch, a new man page is added to describe what the
command will become. The implementation will be updated shortly to
match the man page.
A couple main differences from 'git checkout <paths>':
- 'restore' by default will only update worktree. This matters more
when --source is specified ('checkout <tree> <paths>' updates both
worktree and index).
- 'restore --staged' can be used to restore the index. This command
overlaps with 'git reset <paths>'.
- both worktree and index could also be restored at the same time
(from a tree) when both --staged and --worktree are specified. This
overlaps with 'git checkout <tree> <paths>'
- default source for restoring worktree and index is the index and
HEAD respectively. A different (tree) source could be specified as
with --source (*).
- when both index and worktree are restored, --source must be
specified since the default source for these two individual targets
are different (**)
- --no-overlay is enabled by default, if an entry is missing in the
source, restoring means deleting the entry
(*) I originally went with --from instead of --source. I still think
--from is a better name. The short option -f however is already
taken by force. And I do think short option is good to have, e.g. to
write -s@ or -s@^ instead of --source=HEAD.
(**) If you sit down and think about it, moving worktree's source from
the index to HEAD makes sense, but nobody is really thinking it
through when they type the commands.

In our "make coccicheck" rule, we currently feed each source file to its
own individual invocation of spatch. This has a few downsides:
- it repeats any overhead spatch has for starting up and reading the
patch file
- any included header files may get processed from multiple
invocations. This is slow (we see the same header files multiple
times) and may produce a resulting patch with repeated hunks (which
cannot be applied without further cleanup)
Ideally we'd just invoke a single instance of spatch per rule-file and
feed it all source files. But spatch can be rather memory hungry when
run in this way. I measured the peak RSS going from ~90MB for a single
file to ~1900MB for all files. Multiplied by multiple rule files being
processed at the same time (for "make -j"), this can make things slower
or even cause them to fail (e.g., this is reported to happen on our
Travis builds).
Instead, let's provide a tunable knob. We'll leave the default at "1",
but it can be cranked up to "999" for maximum CPU/memory tradeoff, or
people can find points in between that serve their particular machines.
Here are a few numbers running a single rule via:
SIZES='1 4 16 999'
RULE=contrib/coccinelle/object_id.cocci
for i in $SIZES; do
make clean
/usr/bin/time -o $i.out --format='%e | %U | %S | %M' \
make $RULE.patch SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE=$i
done
for i in $SIZES; do
printf '%4d | %s\n' $i "$(cat $i.out)"
done
which yields:
1 | 97.73 | 93.38 | 4.33 | 100128
4 | 52.80 | 51.14 | 1.69 | 135204
16 | 35.82 | 35.09 | 0.76 | 284124
999 | 23.30 | 23.13 | 0.20 | 1903852
The implementation is done with xargs, which should be widely available;
it's in POSIX, we rely on it already in the test suite. And "coccicheck"
is really a developer-only tool anyway, so it's not a big deal if
obscure systems can't run it.

On AIX, access(X_OK) may succeed when run as root even if the
execution isn't possible. This behavior is allowed by POSIX
which says:
... for a process with appropriate privileges, an implementation
may indicate success for X_OK even if execute permission is not
granted to any user.
It can lead hook programs to have their execution refused:
git commit -m content
fatal: cannot exec '.git/hooks/pre-commit': Permission denied
Add NEED_ACCESS_ROOT_HANDLER in order to use an access helper function.
It checks with stat if any executable flags is set when the current user
is root.
