Over the course of Scalar's development, it became obvious that there is
a need for a command that can gather all kinds of useful information
that can help identify the most typical problems with large
worktrees/repositories.
The `diagnose` command is the culmination of this hard-won knowledge: it
gathers the installed hooks, the config, a couple statistics describing
the data shape, among other pieces of information, and then wraps
everything up in a tidy, neat `.zip` archive.
Note: originally, Scalar was implemented in C# using the .NET API, where
we had the luxury of a comprehensive standard library that includes
basic functionality such as writing a `.zip` file. In the C version, we
lack such a commodity. Rather than introducing a dependency on, say,
libzip, we slightly abuse Git's `archive` machinery: we write out a
`.zip` of the empty try, augmented by a couple files that are added via
the `--add-file*` options. We are careful trying not to modify the
current repository in any way lest the very circumstances that required
`scalar diagnose` to be run are changed by the `diagnose` run itself.

The `scalar` command needs a Scalar enlistment for many subcommands, and
looks in the current directory for such an enlistment (traversing the
parent directories until it finds one).
These is subcommands can also be called with an optional argument
specifying the enlistment. Here, too, we traverse parent directories as
needed, until we find an enlistment.
However, if the specified directory does not even exist, or is not a
directory, we should stop right there, with an error message.

By allowing the path to be enclosed in double-quotes, we can avoid
the limitation that paths cannot contain colons.

With the `--add-virtual-file=<path>:<content>` option, `git archive` now
supports use cases where relatively trivial files need to be added that
do not exist on disk.
This will allow us to generate `.zip` files with generated content,
without having to add said content to the object database and without
having to write it out to disk.

"git remote -v" now shows the list-objects-filter used during
fetching from the remote, if available.
* ac/remote-v-with-object-list-filters:
builtin/remote.c: teach `-v` to list filters for promisor remotes
With a recent update to refuse access to repositories of other
people by default, "sudo make install" and "sudo git describe"
stopped working. This series intends to loosen it while keeping
the safety.
* cb/path-owner-check-with-sudo:
t0034: add negative tests and allow git init to mostly work under sudo
git-compat-util: avoid failing dir ownership checks if running privileged
t: regression git needs safe.directory when using sudo
"git -c branch.autosetupmerge=simple branch $A $B" will set the $B
as $A's upstream only when $A and $B shares the same name, and "git
-c push.default=simple" on branch $A would push to update the
branch $A at the remote $B came from. Also more places use the
sole remote, if exists, before defaulting to 'origin'.
* tk/simple-autosetupmerge:
push: new config option "push.autoSetupRemote" supports "simple" push
push: default to single remote even when not named origin
branch: new autosetupmerge option 'simple' for matching branches
"git fetch --recurse-submodules" from multiple remotes (either from
a remote group, or "--all") used to make one extra "git fetch" in
the submodules, which has been corrected.
* jc/avoid-redundant-submodule-fetch:
fetch: do not run a redundant fetch from submodule
The way "git fetch" without "--update-head-ok" ensures that HEAD in
no worktree points at any ref being updated was too wasteful, which
has been optimized a bit.
* os/fetch-check-not-current-branch:
fetch: limit shared symref check only for local branches
Documentation update.
* pb/ggg-in-mfc-doc:
MyFirstContribution: drop PR description for GGG single-patch contributions
MyFirstContribution: reference "The cover letter" in GitGitGadget section
MyFirstContribution: reference "The cover letter" in "Preparing Email"
MyFirstContribution: add standalone section on cover letter
MyFirstContribution: add "Anatomy of a Patch Series" section
"git fetch" unnecessarily failed when an unexpected optional
section appeared in the output, which has been corrected.
* jt/fetch-peek-optional-section:
fetch-pack: make unexpected peek result non-fatal
The "--current" option of "git show-branch" should have been made
incompatible with the "--reflog" mode, but this was not enforced,
which has been corrected.
* jc/show-branch-g-current:
show-branch: -g and --current are incompatible
"make coverage-report" without first running "make coverage" did
not produce any meaningful result, which has been corrected.
* ep/coverage-report-wants-test-to-have-run:
Makefile: add a prerequisite to the coverage-report target
"git archive --add-file=<path>" picked up the raw permission bits
from the path and propagated to zip output in some cases, without
normalization, which has been corrected (tar output did not have
this issue).
* jc/archive-add-file-normalize-mode:
archive: do not let on-disk mode leak to zip archives
A bit of test framework fixes with a few fixes to issues found by
valgrind.
* ab/valgrind-fixes:
commit-graph.c: don't assume that stat() succeeds
object-file: fix a unpack_loose_header() regression in 3b6a8db3b0
log test: skip a failing mkstemp() test under valgrind
tests: using custom GIT_EXEC_PATH breaks --valgrind tests
macOS CI jobs have been occasionally flaky due to tentative version
skew between perforce and the homebrew packager. Instead of
failing the whole CI job, just let it skip the p4 tests when this
happens.
* cb/ci-make-p4-optional:
ci: use https, not http to download binaries from perforce.com
ci: reintroduce prevention from perforce being quarantined in macOS
ci: avoid brew for installing perforce
ci: make failure to find perforce more user friendly
Introduce and apply coccinelle rule to discourage an explicit
comparison between a pointer and NULL, and applies the clean-up to
the maintenance track.
* ep/maint-equals-null-cocci:
tree-wide: apply equals-null.cocci
tree-wide: apply equals-null.cocci
contrib/coccinnelle: add equals-null.cocci
"git show :<path>" learned to work better with the sparse-index
feature.
* ds/sparse-colon-path:
rev-parse: integrate with sparse index
object-name: diagnose trees in index properly
object-name: reject trees found in the index
show: integrate with the sparse index
t1092: add compatibility tests for 'git show'
Teach "git stash" to work better with sparse index entries.
* vd/sparse-stash:
unpack-trees: preserve index sparsity
stash: apply stash using 'merge_ort_nonrecursive()'
read-cache: set sparsity when index is new
sparse-index: expose 'is_sparse_index_allowed()'
stash: integrate with sparse index
stash: expand sparse-checkout compatibility testing
"git bisect" was too silent before it is ready to start computing
the actual bisection, which has been corrected.
* cd/bisect-messages-from-pre-flight-states:
bisect: output bisect setup status in bisect log
bisect: output state before we are ready to compute bisection
"git pull" without "--recurse-submodules=<arg>" made
submodule.recurse take precedence over fetch.recurseSubmodules by
mistake, which has been corrected.
* gc/pull-recurse-submodules:
pull: do not let submodule.recurse override fetch.recurseSubmodules
Trace2 documentation updates.
* js/trace2-doc-fixes:
trace2 docs: add missing full stop
trace2 docs: clarify what `varargs` is all about
trace2 docs: fix a JSON formatted example
trace2 docs: surround more terms in backticks
trace2 docs: "printf" is not an English word
trace2 docs: a couple of grammar fixes
"git log --since=X" will stop traversal upon seeing a commit that
is older than X, but there may be commits behind it that is younger
than X when the commit was created with a faulty clock. A new
option is added to keep digging without stopping, and instead
filter out commits with timestamp older than X.
* mv/log-since-as-filter:
log: "--since-as-filter" option is a non-terminating "--since" variant
The temporary files fed to external diff command are now generated
inside a new temporary directory under the same basename.
* rs/external-diff-tempfile:
diff: use mks_tempfile_dt()
tempfile: add mks_tempfile_dt()
New tests for the safe.directory mechanism.
* sg/safe-directory-tests-and-docs:
safe.directory: document and check that it's ignored in the environment
t0033-safe-directory: check when 'safe.directory' is ignored
t0033-safe-directory: check the error message without matching the trash dir
