The `git serve` built-in was introduced in ed10cb952d (serve:
introduce git-serve, 2018-03-15) as a backend to serve Git protocol v2,
probably originally intended to be spawned by `git upload-pack`.
However, in the version that the protocol v2 patches made it into core
Git, `git upload-pack` calls the `serve()` function directly instead of
spawning `git serve`; The only reason in life for `git serve` to survive
as a built-in command is to provide a way to test the protocol v2
functionality.
Meaning that it does not even have to be a built-in that is installed
with end-user facing Git installations, but it can be a test helper
instead.
Let's make it so.

"git checkout" doing too many things is a source of confusion for many
users (and it even bites old timers sometimes). To remedy that, the
command will be split into two new ones: switch and restore. The good
old "git checkout" command is still here and will be until all (or most
of users) are sick of it.
See the new man page for the final design of switch. The actual
implementation though is still pretty much the same as "git checkout"
and not completely aligned with the man page. Following patches will
adjust their behavior to match the man page.

Normally code that is checking config before we've decided to do
setup_git_directory() would use read_early_config(), which uses
discover_git_directory() to tentatively see if we're in a repo,
and if so to add it to the config sequence.
But list_cmds() uses the caching configset mechanism which
rightly does not use read_early_config(), because it has no
idea if it's being called early.
Call setup_git_directory_gently() so we can pick up repo-level
config (like completion.commands).

As far as this developer can tell, the conversion from a Perl script to
a built-in caused the regression in the difftool that it no longer runs
outside of a Git worktree (with `--no-index`, of course).
It is a bit embarrassing that it took over two years after retiring the
Perl version to discover this regression, but at least we now know, and
can do something, about it.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2123

We recently converted the `git stash` command from Unix shell scripts
to builtins.
Let's end users a way out when they discover a bug in the
builtin command: `stash.useBuiltin`.
As the file name `git-stash` is already in use, let's rename the
scripted backend to `git-legacy-stash`.
To make the test suite pass with `stash.useBuiltin=false`, this commit
also backports rudimentary support for `-q` (but only *just* enough
to appease the test suite), and adds a super-ugly hack to force exit
code 129 for `git stash -h`.

The old shell script `git-stash.sh` was removed and replaced
entirely by `builtin/stash.c`. In order to do that, `create` and
`push` were adapted to work without `stash.sh`. For example, before
this commit, `git stash create` called `git stash--helper create
--message "$*"`. If it called `git stash--helper create "$@"`, then
some of these changes wouldn't have been necessary.
This commit also removes the word `helper` since now stash is
called directly and not by a shell script.

Add a builtin helper for performing stash commands. Converting
all at once proved hard to review, so starting with just apply
lets conversion get started without the other commands being
finished.
The helper is being implemented as a drop in replacement for
stash so that when it is complete it can simply be renamed and
the shell script deleted.
Delete the contents of the apply_stash shell function and replace
it with a call to stash--helper apply until pop is also
converted.

Create a new unified tracing facility for git. The eventual intent is to
replace the current trace_printf* and trace_performance* routines with a
unified set of git_trace2* routines.
In addition to the usual printf-style API, trace2 provides higer-level
event verbs with fixed-fields allowing structured data to be written.
This makes post-processing and analysis easier for external tools.
Trace2 defines 3 output targets. These are set using the environment
variables "GIT_TR2", "GIT_TR2_PERF", and "GIT_TR2_EVENT". These may be
set to "1" or to an absolute pathname (just like the current GIT_TRACE).
* GIT_TR2 is intended to be a replacement for GIT_TRACE and logs command
summary data.
* GIT_TR2_PERF is intended as a replacement for GIT_TRACE_PERFORMANCE.
It extends the output with columns for the command process, thread,
repo, absolute and relative elapsed times. It reports events for
child process start/stop, thread start/stop, and per-thread function
nesting.
* GIT_TR2_EVENT is a new structured format. It writes event data as a
series of JSON records.
Calls to trace2 functions log to any of the 3 output targets enabled
without the need to call different trace_printf* or trace_performance*
routines.

"git cmd --help" when "cmd" is aliased used to only say "cmd is
aliased to ...". Now it shows that to the standard error stream
and runs "git $cmd --help" where $cmd is the first word of the
alias expansion.
This could be misleading for those who alias a command with options
(e.g. with "[alias] cpn = cherry-pick -n", "git cpn --help" would
show the manual of "cherry-pick", and the reader would not be told
to pay close attention to the part that describes the "--no-commit"
option until closing the pager that showed the contents of the
manual, if the pager is configured to restore the original screen,
or would not be told at all, if the pager simply makes the message
on the standard error scroll away.
* rv/alias-help:
git-help.txt: document "git help cmd" vs "git cmd --help" for aliases
git.c: handle_alias: prepend alias info when first argument is -h

but now it is allowed to create such an alias.
* ts/alias-of-alias:
t0014: introduce an alias testing suite
alias: show the call history when an alias is looping
alias: add support for aliases of an alias
Most git commands respond to -h anywhere in the command line, or at
least as a first and lone argument, by printing the usage
information. For aliases, we can provide a little more information that
might be useful in interpreting/understanding the following output by
prepending a line telling that the command is an alias, and for what.
When one invokes a simple alias, such as "cp = cherry-pick"
with -h, this results in
$ git cp -h
'cp' is aliased to 'cherry-pick'
usage: git cherry-pick [<options>] <commit-ish>...
...
When the alias consists of more than one word, this provides the
additional benefit of informing the user which options are implicit in
using the alias, e.g. with "cp = cherry-pick -n":
$ git cp -h
'cp' is aliased to 'cherry-pick -n'
usage: git cherry-pick [<options>] <commit-ish>...
...
For shell commands, we cannot know how it responds to -h, but printing
this line to stderr should not hurt, and can help in figuring out what
is happening in a case like
$ git sc -h
'sc' is aliased to '!somecommand'
somecommand: invalid option '-h'

Aliases can only contain non-alias git commands and their arguments,
not other user-defined aliases. Resolving further (nested) aliases
is prevented by breaking the loop after the first alias was
processed. Git then fails with a command-not-found error.
Allow resolving nested aliases by not breaking the loop in
run_argv() after the first alias was processed. Instead, continue
the loop until `handle_alias()` fails, which means that there are no
further aliases that can be processed. Prevent looping aliases by
storing substituted commands in `cmd_list` and checking if a command
has been substituted previously.
While we're at it, fix a styling issue just below the added code.

This commit imitates the strategy that was used to convert the
difftool to a builtin. We start by renaming the shell script
`git-rebase.sh` to `git-legacy-rebase.sh` and introduce a
`builtin/rebase.c` that simply executes the shell script version,
unless the config setting `rebase.useBuiltin` is set to `true`.
The motivation behind this is to rewrite all the functionality of the
shell script version in the aforementioned `rebase.c`, one by one and
be able to conveniently test new features by configuring
`rebase.useBuiltin`.
In the original difftool conversion, if sane_execvp() that attempts to
run the legacy scripted version returned with non-negative status, the
command silently exited without doing anything with success, but
sane_execvp() should not return with non-negative status in the first
place, so we use die() to notice such an abnormal case.
We intentionally avoid reading the config directly to avoid
messing up the GIT_* environment variables when we need to fall back to
exec()ing the shell script. The test of builtin rebase can be done by
`git -c rebase.useBuiltin=true rebase ...`

The git-show-index command is built as its own separate
program. There's really no good reason for this, and it
means we waste extra space on disk (and CPU time running the
linker). Let's fold it in to the main binary as a builtin.
The history here is actually a bit amusing. The program
itself is mostly self-contained, and doesn't even use our
normal pack index code. In a5031214c4 (slim down "git
show-index", 2010-01-21), we even stopped using xmalloc() so
that it could avoid libgit.a entirely. But then 040a655116
(cleanup: use internal memory allocation wrapper functions
everywhere, 2011-10-06) switched that back to xmalloc, which
later become ALLOC_ARRAY().
Making it a builtin should give us the best of both worlds:
no wasted space and no need to avoid the usual patterns.

By providing aliases via --list-cmds=, we could simplify command
collection code in the script. We only issue one git command. Before
this patch that is "git config", after it's "git --list-cmds=". In
"git help" completion case we actually reduce one "git" process (for
getting guides) but that call was added in this series so it does not
really count.
A couple of bash functions are removed because they are not needed
anymore. __git_compute_all_commands() and $__git_all_commands stay
because they are still needed for completing pager.* config and
without "alias" group, the result is still cacheable.
There is a slight (good) change in _git_help() with this patch: before
"git help <tab>" shows external commands (as in _not_ part of git) as
well as part of $__git_all_commands. We have finer control over

It is possible to configure 'less', the pager, to use an alternate
screen to show the content, for example, by setting LESS=RS in the
environment. When it is closed in this configuration, it switches
back to the original screen, and all content is gone.
It is not uncommon to request that the output remains visible in
the terminal. For this, the option --no-pager can be used. But
it is a bit cumbersome to type, even when command completion is
available. Provide a short option, -P, to make the option more
easily accessible.

This is used to enable RUNTIME_PREFIX support for non-Windows systems,

Protocol version 2 is intended to be a replacement for Git's current

wasteful protocol which can evolve over time.
Protocol version 2 improves upon version 1 by eliminating the initial
ref advertisement. In its place a server will export a list of
capabilities and commands which it supports in a capability
advertisement. A client can then request that a particular command be
executed by providing a number of capabilities and command specific
parameters. At the completion of a command, a client can request that
another command be executed or can terminate the connection by sending a
flush packet.

`pager.config` when we are listing or "get"ing config.
We have several getters and some are guaranteed to give at most one line
of output. Paging all getters including those could be convenient from a
documentation point-of-view. The downside would be that a misconfigured
or not so modern pager might wait for user interaction before
terminating. Let's instead respect the config for precisely those
getters which may produce more than one line of output.
`--get-urlmatch` may or may not produce multiple lines of output,
depending on the exact usage. Let's not try to recognize the two modes,
but instead make `--get-urlmatch` always respect the config. Analyzing
the detailed usage might be trivial enough here, but could establish a
precedent that we will never be able to enforce throughout the codebase
and that will just open a can of worms.

Some commands (most notably "git status") makes an opportunistic
update when performing a read-only operation to help optimize later
operations in the same repository. The new "--no-optional-locks"
option can be passed to Git to disable them.
* jk/no-optional-locks:
git: add --no-optional-locks option
Some tools like IDEs or fancy editors may periodically run
commands like "git status" in the background to keep track
of the state of the repository. Some of these commands may
refresh the index and write out the result in an
opportunistic way: if they can get the index lock, then they
update the on-disk index with any updates they find. And if
not, then their in-core refresh is lost and just has to be
recomputed by the next caller.
But taking the index lock may conflict with other operations
in the repository. Especially ones that the user is doing
themselves, which _aren't_ opportunistic. In other words,
"git status" knows how to back off when somebody else is
holding the lock, but other commands don't know that status
would be happy to drop the lock if somebody else wanted it.
There are a couple possible solutions:
1. Have some kind of "pseudo-lock" that allows other
commands to tell status that they want the lock.
This is likely to be complicated and error-prone to
implement (and maybe even impossible with just
dotlocks to work from, as it requires some
inter-process communication).
2. Avoid background runs of commands like "git status"
that want to do opportunistic updates, preferring
instead plumbing like diff-files, etc.
This is awkward for a couple of reasons. One is that
"status --porcelain" reports a lot more about the
repository state than is available from individual
plumbing commands. And two is that we actually _do_
want to see the refreshed index. We just don't want to
take a lock or write out the result. Whereas commands
like diff-files expect us to refresh the index
separately and write it to disk so that they can depend
on the result. But that write is exactly what we're
trying to avoid.
3. Ask "status" not to lock or write the index.
This is easy to implement. The big downside is that any
work done in refreshing the index for such a call is
lost when the process exits. So a background process
may end up re-hashing a changed file multiple times
until the user runs a command that does an index
refresh themselves.
This patch implements the option 3. The idea (and the test)
is largely stolen from a Git for Windows patch by Johannes
Schindelin, 67e5ce7f63 (status: offer *not* to lock the
index and update it, 2016-08-12). The twist here is that
instead of making this an option to "git status", it becomes
a "git" option and matching environment variable.
The reason there is two-fold:
1. An environment variable is carried through to
sub-processes. And whether an invocation is a
background process or not should apply to the whole
process tree. So you could do "git --no-optional-locks
foo", and if "foo" is a script or alias that calls
"status", you'll still get the effect.
2. There may be other programs that want the same
treatment.
I've punted here on finding more callers to convert,
since "status" is the obvious one to call as a repeated
background job. But "git diff"'s opportunistic refresh
of the index may be a good candidate.
The test is taken from 67e5ce7f63, and it's worth repeating
Johannes's explanation:
Note that the regression test added in this commit does
not *really* verify that no index.lock file was written;
that test is not possible in a portable way. Instead, we
verify that .git/index is rewritten *only* when `git
status` is run without `--no-optional-locks`.

"git grep --recurse-submodules" has been reworked to give a more

without having to fork a separate process).
* bw/grep-recurse-submodules:
grep: recurse in-process using 'struct repository'

config: add config_from_gitmodules
cache.h: add GITMODULES_FILE macro
repository: have the_repository use the_index
repo_read_index: don't discard the index
When running, e.g., `git -c alias.bar=foo bar`, we expand the alias and
execute `git-foo` as a dashed external. This is true even if git foo is
a builtin. That is on purpose, and is motivated in a comment which was
added in commit 441981bc ("git: simplify environment save/restore
logic", 2016-01-26).
Shortly before we launch a dashed external, and unless we have already
found out whether we should use a pager, we check `pager.foo`. This was
added in commit 92058e4d ("support pager.* for external commands",
2011-08-18). If the dashed external is a builtin, this does not match
that commit's intention and is arguably wrong, since it would be cleaner
if we let the "dashed external builtin" handle `pager.foo`.
This has not mattered in practice, but a recent patch taught `git-tag`
to ignore `pager.tag` under certain circumstances. But, when started
using an alias, it doesn't get the chance to do so, as outlined above.
That recent patch added a test to document this breakage.
Do not check `pager.foo` before launching a builtin as a dashed
external, i.e., if we recognize the name of the external as a builtin.

Using, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag` results in errors such as

Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and `git tag -l` will
probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a` will actually work,
at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`.
Use the mechanisms introduced in two earlier patches to ignore
`pager.tag` in git.c and let the `git tag` builtin handle it on its own.
Only respect `pager.tag` when running in list-mode.
There is a window between where the pager is started before and after
this patch. This means that early errors can behave slightly different
before and after this patch. Since operation-parsing has to happen
inside this window, this can be seen with `git -c pager.tag="echo pager
is used" tag -l --unknown-option`. This change in paging-behavior should
be acceptable since it only affects erroneous usages.
Update the documentation and update tests.
If an alias is used to run `git tag -a`, then `pager.tag` will still be
respected. Document this known breakage. It will be fixed in a later
commit. Add a similar test for `-l`, which works.

Provide setup_auto_pager(), which builtins can call in order to handle
`pager.<cmd>`, including possibly starting the pager. Make this function
don't do anything if a pager has already been started, as indicated by
use_pager or pager_in_use().
Whenever this function is called from a builtin, git.c will already have
called commit_pager_choice(). Since commit_pager_choice() treats the
special value -1 as "punt" or "not yet decided", it is not a problem
that we might end up calling commit_pager_choice() once in git.c and
once (or more) in the builtin. Make the new function use -1 in the same
way and document it as "punt".

Before launching a builtin git foo and unless mechanisms with precedence
are in use, we check for and handle the `pager.foo` config. This is done
without considering exactly how git foo is being used, and indeed, git.c
cannot (and should not) know what the arguments to git foo are supposed
to achieve.
In practice this means that, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag`
results in errors such as "Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal"
and a garbled terminal. Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and
`git tag -l` will probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a`
will actually work, at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`.
To allow individual builtins to make more informed decisions about when
to respect `pager.foo`, introduce a flag DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG. If the flag
is set, do not check `pager.foo`.
Do not check for DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG in `execv_dashed_external()`. That
call site is arguably wrong, although in a way that is not yet visible,
and will be changed in a slightly different direction in a later patch.

Instead of discovering the .git/ directory, reading the config and then

It may look like unnecessary work to discover the .git/ directory in the
early config machinery and then call setup_git_directory_gently() in the
case of a shell alias, repeating the very same discovery *again*.
However, we have to do this as the early config machinery takes pains
*not* to touch any global state, while shell aliases expect a possibly
changed working directory and at least the GIT_PREFIX and GIT_DIR
variables to be set.

Git's interactive rebase is still implemented as a shell script, despite
its complexity. This implies that it suffers from the portability point
of view, from lack of expressibility, and of course also from
performance. The latter issue is particularly serious on Windows, where
we pay a hefty price for relying so much on POSIX.
Unfortunately, being such a huge shell script also means that we missed
the train when it would have been relatively easy to port it to C, and
instead piled feature upon feature onto that poor script that originally
never intended to be more than a slightly pimped cherry-pick in a loop.
To open the road toward better performance (in addition to all the other
benefits of C over shell scripts), let's just start *somewhere*.
The approach taken here is to add a builtin helper that at first intends
to take care of the parts of the interactive rebase that are most
affected by the performance penalties mentioned above.
In particular, after we spent all those efforts on preparing the sequencer
to process rebase -i's git-rebase-todo scripts, we implement the `git
rebase -i --continue` functionality as a new builtin, git-rebase--helper.
Once that is in place, we can work gradually on tackling the rest of the
technical debt.
Note that the rebase--helper needs to learn about the transient
--ff/--no-ff options of git-rebase, as the corresponding flag is not
persisted to, and re-read from, the state directory.

In the future we want to support working tree operations within submodules,
e.g. "git checkout --recurse-submodules", which will update the submodule
to the commit as recorded in its superproject. In the submodule the
unpack-tree operation is carried out as usual, but the reporting to the
user needs to prefix any path with the superproject. The mechanism for
this is the super-prefix. (see 74866d757, git: make super-prefix option)
Add support for the super-prefix option for commands that unpack trees
by wrapping any path output in unpacking trees in the newly introduced
super_prefixed function. This new function prefixes any path with the
super-prefix if there is one. Assuming the submodule case doesn't happen
in the majority of the cases, we'd want to have a fast behavior for no
super prefix, i.e. no reallocation/copying, but just returning path.
Another aspect of introducing the `super_prefixed` function is to consider
who owns the memory and if this is the right place where the path gets
modified. As the super prefix ought to change the output behavior only and
not the actual unpack tree part, it is fine to be that late in the line.
As we get passed in 'const char *path', we cannot change the path itself,
which means in case of a super prefix we have to copy over the path.
We need two static buffers in that function as the error messages
contain at most two paths.
For testing purposes enable it in read-tree, which has no output
of paths other than an unpack-trees.c. These are all converted in
this patch.

A new submodule helper "git submodule embedgitdirs" to make it
easier to move embedded .git/ directory for submodules in a
superproject to .git/modules/ (and point the latter with the former
that is turned into a "gitdir:" file) has been added.
* sb/submodule-embed-gitdir:
worktree: initialize return value for submodule_uses_worktrees
submodule: add absorb-git-dir function
move connect_work_tree_and_git_dir to dir.h
worktree: check if a submodule uses worktrees
test-lib-functions.sh: teach test_commit -C <dir>
submodule helper: support super prefix
submodule: use absolute path for computing relative path connecting
When you hit ^C to interrupt a git command going to a pager,
this usually leaves the pager running. But when a dashed
external is in use, the pager ends up in a funny state and
quits (but only after eating one more character from the
terminal!). This fixes it.
Explaining the reason will require a little background.
When git runs a pager, it's important for the git process to
hang around and wait for the pager to finish, even though it
has no more data to feed it. This is because git spawns the
pager as a child, and thus the git process is the session
leader on the terminal. After it dies, the pager will finish
its current read from the terminal (eating the one
character), and then get EIO trying to read again.
When you hit ^C, that sends SIGINT to git and to the pager,
and it's a similar situation. The pager ignores it, but the
git process needs to hang around until the pager is done. We
addressed that long ago in a3da882120 (pager: do
wait_for_pager on signal death, 2009-01-22).
But when you have a dashed external (or an alias pointing to
a builtin, which will re-exec git for the builtin), there's
an extra process in the mix. For instance, running:
$ git -c alias.l=log l
will end up with a process tree like:
git (parent)
\
git-log (child)
\
less (pager)
If you hit ^C, SIGINT goes to all of them. The pager ignores
it, and the child git process will end up in wait_for_pager().
But the parent git process will die, and the usual EIO
trouble happens.
So we really want the parent git process to wait_for_pager(),
but of course it doesn't know anything about the pager at
all, since it was started by the child. However, we can
have it wait on the git-log child, which in turn is waiting
on the pager. And that's what this patch does.
There are a few design decisions here worth explaining:
1. The new feature is attached to run-command's
clean_on_exit feature. Partly this is convenience,
since that feature already has a signal handler that
deals with child cleanup.
But it's also a meaningful connection. The main reason
that dashed externals use clean_on_exit is to bind the
two processes together. If somebody kills the parent
with a signal, we propagate that to the child (in this
instance with SIGINT, we do propagate but it doesn't
matter because the original signal went to the whole
process group). Likewise, we do not want the parent
to go away until the child has done so.
In a traditional Unix world, we'd probably accomplish
this binding by just having the parent execve() the
child directly. But since that doesn't work on Windows,
everything goes through run_command's more spawn-like
interface.
2. We do _not_ automatically waitpid() on any
clean_on_exit children. For dashed externals this makes
sense; we know that the parent is doing nothing but
waiting for the child to exit anyway. But with other
children, it's possible that the child, after getting
the signal, could be waiting on the parent to do
something (like closing a descriptor). If we were to
wait on such a child, we'd end up in a deadlock. So
this errs on the side of caution, and lets callers
enable the feature explicitly.
3. When we send children the cleanup signal, we send all
the signals first, before waiting on any children. This
is to avoid the case where one child might be waiting
on another one to exit, causing a deadlock. We inform
all of them that it's time to die before reaping any.
In practice, there is only ever one dashed external run
from a given process, so this doesn't matter much now.
But it future-proofs us if other callers start using
the wait_after_clean mechanism.
There's no automated test here, because it would end up racy
and unportable. But it's easy to reproduce the situation by
running the log command given above and hitting ^C.

When we try to exec a git sub-command, we pass along the
status code from run_command(). But that may return -1 if we
ran into an error with pipe() or execve(). This tends to
work (and end up as 255 due to twos-complement wraparound
and truncation), but in general it's probably a good idea to
avoid negative exit codes for portability.
We can easily translate to the normal generic "128" code we
get when syscalls cause us to die.

When we run a dashed external, we use the one-liner
run_command_v_opt() to do so. Let's switch to using a
child_process struct, which has two advantages:
1. We can drop all of the allocation and cleanup code for
building our custom argv array, and just rely on the
builtin argv_array (at the minor cost of doing a few
extra mallocs).
2. We have access to the complete range of child_process
options, not just the ones that the "_opt()" form can
forward.

Allow grep to recognize submodules and recursively search for patterns in
each submodule. This is done by forking off a process to recursively
call grep on each submodule. The top level --super-prefix option is
used to pass a path to the submodule which can in turn be used to
prepend to output or in pathspec matching logic.
Recursion only occurs for submodules which have been initialized and
checked out by the parent project. If a submodule hasn't been
initialized and checked out it is simply skipped.
In order to support the existing multi-threading infrastructure in grep,
output from each child process is captured in a strbuf so that it can be
later printed to the console in an ordered fashion.
To limit the number of theads that are created, each child process has
half the number of threads as its parents (minimum of 1), otherwise we
potentailly have a fork-bomb.

Just like main commands in Git, the submodule helper needs
access to the superproject prefix. Enable this in the git.c
but have its own fuse in the helper code by having a flag to
turn on the super prefix.

Since 650c44925 (common-main: call git_extract_argv0_path(),
2016-07-01), the argv[0] that is seen in cmd_main() of
individual programs is always the basename of the
executable, as common-main strips off the full path. This
can produce confusing results for git-daemon, which wants to
re-exec itself.
For instance, if the program was originally run as
"/usr/lib/git/git-daemon", it will try just re-execing
"git-daemon", which will find the first instance in $PATH.
If git's exec-path has not been prepended to $PATH, we may
find the git-daemon from a different version (or no
git-daemon at all).
Normally this isn't a problem. Git commands are run as "git
daemon", the git wrapper puts the exec-path at the front of
$PATH, and argv[0] is already "daemon" anyway. But running
git-daemon via its full exec-path, while not really a
recommended method, did work prior to 650c44925. Let's make
it work again.
The real goal of 650c44925 was not to munge argv[0], but to
reliably set the argv0_path global. The only reason it
munges at all is that one caller, the git.c wrapper,
piggy-backed on that computation to find the command
basename. Instead, let's leave argv[0] untouched in
common-main, and have git.c do its own basename computation.
While we're at it, let's drop the return value from
git_extract_argv0_path(). It was only ever used in this one
callsite, and its dual purposes is what led to this
confusion in the first place.
Note that by changing the interface, the compiler can
confirm for us that there are no other callers storing the
return value. But the compiler can't tell us whether any of
the cmd_main() functions (besides git.c) were relying on the
basename munging. However, we can observe that prior to
650c44925, no other cmd_main() functions did that munging,
and no new cmd_main() functions have been introduced since
then. So we can't be regressing any of those cases.

Since b9605bc4f2 ("config: only read .git/config from configured
repos", 2016-09-12), we do not read from ".git/config" unless we
know we are in a repository. "git archive" however didn't do the
repository discovery and instead relied on the old behaviour.
Teach the command to run a "gentle" version of repository discovery
so that local configuration variables are honoured.

know we are in a repository. "git mailinfo" however didn't do the
repository discovery and instead relied on the old behaviour. This
was mostly OK because it was merely run as a helper program by other
porcelain scripts that first chdir's up to the root of the working
tree.
