Let's then have some users of "USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS" use
this more narrow and descriptive define.
For context: The USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS macro was added to

renames the global variables like "active_nr", which are a shorthand
to referencing (in that case) a struct member as "the_index.cache_nr".

In the case of "active_nr" we'd have a textual conflict with

When running 'read-tree' with a single tree and no prefix,

situation, skip a redundant call to 'cache_tree_update()' in

Removing the redundant cache tree update provides a substantial performance
improvement to 'git read-tree <tree-ish>', as shown by a test added to

exercise the 'cache_tree_update()' code path, as used in 'git merge'. Since

When deleting a branch, "git branch -d" has a safety check that ensures
the branch is merged to its upstream (if any), or to HEAD. To do that,
naturally we try to resolve HEAD to a commit object. If we're on an
orphan branch (i.e., HEAD points to a branch that does not yet exist),
that will fail, and we'll bail with an error:
$ git branch -d to-delete
fatal: Couldn't look up commit object for HEAD
This usually isn't that big of a deal. The deletion would fail anyway,
since the branch isn't merged to HEAD, and you'd need to use "-D" (or
"-f"). And doing so skips the HEAD resolution, courtesy of 67affd5173
(git-branch -D: make it work even when on a yet-to-be-born branch,
2006-11-24).
But there are still two problems:
1. The error message isn't very helpful. We should give the usual "not
fully merged" message, which points the user at "branch -D". That
was a problem even back in 67affd5173.
2. Even without a HEAD, these days it's still possible for the
deletion to succeed. After 67affd5173, commit 99c419c915 (branch
-d: base the "already-merged" safety on the branch it merges with,
2009-12-29) made it OK to delete a branch if it is merged to its
upstream.
We can fix both by removing the die() in delete_branches() completely,
leaving head_rev NULL in this case. It's tempting to stop there, as it
appears at first glance that the rest of the code does the right thing
with a NULL. But sadly, it's not quite true.
We end up feeding the NULL to repo_is_descendant_of(). In the
traditional code path there, we call repo_in_merge_bases_many(). It
feeds the NULL to repo_parse_commit(), which is smart enough to return
an error, and we immediately return "no, it's not a descendant".
But there's an alternate code path: if we have a commit graph with
generation numbers, we end up in can_all_from_reach(), which does
eventually try to set a flag on the NULL commit and segfaults.
So instead, we'll teach the local branch_merged() helper to treat a NULL
as "not merged". This would be a little more elegant in in_merge_bases()
itself, but that function is called in a lot of places, and it's not
clear that quietly returning "not merged" is the right thing everywhere
(I'd expect in many cases, feeding a NULL is a sign of a bug).
There are four tests here:
a. The first one confirms that deletion succeeds with an orphaned HEAD
when the branch is merged to its upstream. This is case (2) above.
b. Same, but with commit graphs enabled. Even if it is merged to
upstream, we still check head_rev so that we can say "deleting
because it's merged to upstream, even though it's not merged to
HEAD". Without the second hunk in branch_merged(), this test would
segfault in can_all_from_reach().
c. The third one confirms that we correctly say "not merged to HEAD"
when we can't resolve HEAD, and reject the deletion.
d. Same, but with commit graphs enabled. Without the first hunk in
branch_merged(), this one would segfault.

Simplify the code that builds the arguments for the "read-tree"
invocation in reset_hard() and read_empty() to remove the "verbose"
parameter.
Before 172b6428d0 (do not overwrite untracked during merge from
unborn branch, 2010-11-14) there was a "reset_hard()" function that
would be called in two places, one of those passed a "verbose=1", the
other a "verbose=0".
After 172b6428d0 when read_empty() was split off from reset_hard()
both of these functions only had one caller. The "verbose" in
read_empty() would always be false, and the one in reset_hard() would
always be true.
There was never a good reason for the code to act this way, it
happened because the read_empty() function was a copy/pasted and
adjusted version of reset_hard().
Since we're no longer conditionally adding the "-v" parameter
here (and we'd only add it for "reset_hard()" we'll be able to move to
a simpler and safer run-command API in the subsequent commit.

There are situations where the user might not want the default
setting where patch-id strips all whitespace. They might be working
in a language where white space is syntactically important, or they
might have CI testing that enforces strict whitespace linting. In
these cases, a whitespace change would result in the patch
fundamentally changing, and thus deserving of a different id.
Add a new mode that is exclusive of --stable and --unstable called
--verbatim. It also corresponds to the config
patchid.verbatim = true. In this mode, the stable algorithm is
used and whitespace is not stripped from the patch text.
Users of --unstable mainly care about compatibility with old git
versions, which unstripping the whitespace would break. Thus there
isn't a usecase for the combination of --verbatim and --unstable,
and we don't expose this so as to not add maintainence burden.

"git patch-id" currently doesn't produce correct output if the
incoming diff has any binary files. Add logic to get_one_patchid
to handle the different possible styles of binary diff. This
attempts to keep resulting patch-ids identical to what would be
produced by the counterpart logic in diff.c, that is it produces
the id by hashing the a and b oids in succession.
In general we handle binary diffs by first caching the object ids from
the "index" line and using those if we then find an indication
that the diff is binary.
The input could contain patches generated with "git diff --binary". This
currently breaks the parse logic and results in multiple patch-ids
output for a single commit. Here we have to skip the contents of the
patch itself since those do not go into the patch id. --binary
implies --full-index so the object ids are always available.
When the diff is generated with --full-index there is no patch content
to skip over.
When a diff is generated without --full-index or --binary, it will
contain abbreviated object ids. This will still result in a sufficiently
unique patch-id when hashed, but does not match internal patch id
output. We'll call this ok for now as we already need specialized
arguments to diff in order to match internal patch id (namely -U3).

Arbitrary commit formats can be used. In fact, `git shortlog`'s default
behavior (to count by commit authors) can be emulated as follows:
$ git shortlog --group='%aN <%aE>' ...
and future patches will make the default behavior (as well as
`--committer`, and `--group=trailer:<trailer>`) special cases of the
more flexible `--group` option.
Note also that the SHORTLOG_GROUP_FORMAT enum value is used only to
designate that `--group:<format>` is in use when in stdin mode to
declare that the combination is invalid.

The subsequent commit will add another unhandled case in
`read_from_stdin()` which will want to use the same message as with
`--group=trailer`.
Extract the "--group=trailer" part from this message so the same
translation key can be used for both cases.

When there are no trailers to insert, it is natural that
insert_records_from_trailers() should return without having done any
work.
But instead we guard this call unnecessarily by first checking whether
`log->groups` has the `SHORTLOG_GROUP_TRAILER` bit set.
Prepare to match a similar pattern in the future where a function which
inserts records of a certain type does no work when no specifiers
matching that type are given.

Prepare for a future patch which will introduce arbitrary pretty formats
via the `--group` argument.
To allow additional customizability (for example, to support something
like `git shortlog -s --group='%aD' --date='format:%Y-%m' ...` (which
groups commits by the datestring 'YYYY-mm' according to author date), we
must store off the `--date` parsed from calling `parse_revision_opt()`.
Note that this also affects custom output `--format` strings in `git
shortlog`. Though this is a behavior change, this is arguably fixing a
long-standing bug (ie., that `--format` strings are not affected by
`--date` specifiers as they should be).

When pruning objects with `--cruft`, `git repack` offers some
flexibility when selecting the set of which objects are pruned via the
`--cruft-expiration` option.
This is useful for expiring objects which are older than the grace
period, making races where to-be-pruned objects become reachable and
then ancestors of freshly pushed objects, leaving the repository in a
corrupt state after pruning substantially less likely [1].
But in practice, such races are impossible to avoid entirely, no matter
how long the grace period is. To prevent this race, it is often
advisable to temporarily put a repository into a read-only state. But in
practice, this is not always practical, and so some middle ground would
be nice.
This patch introduces a new option, `--expire-to`, which teaches `git
repack` to write an additional cruft pack containing just the objects
which were pruned from the repository. The caller can specify a
directory outside of the current repository as the destination for this
second cruft pack.
This makes it possible to prune objects from a repository, while still
holding onto a supplemental copy of them outside of the original
repository. Having this copy on-disk makes it substantially easier to
recover objects when the aforementioned race is encountered.
`--expire-to` is implemented in a somewhat convoluted manner, which is
to take advantage of the fact that the first time `write_cruft_pack()`
is called, it adds the name of the cruft pack to the `names` string
list. That means the second time we call `write_cruft_pack()`, objects
in the previously-written cruft pack will be excluded.
As long as the caller ensures that no objects are expired during the
second pass, this is sufficient to generate a cruft pack containing all
objects which don't appear in any of the new packs written by `git
repack`, including the cruft pack. In other words, all of the objects
which are about to be pruned from the repository.
It is important to note that the destination in `--expire-to` does not
necessarily need to be a Git repository (though it can be) Notably, the
expired packs do not contain all ancestors of expired objects. So if the
source repository contains something like:
<unreachable>
/
C1 --- C2
\
refs/heads/master
where C2 is unreachable, but has a parent (C1) which is reachable, and
C2 would be pruned, then the expiry pack will contain only C2, not C1.
