If options pertaining to how the diff is displayed is provided to
`git stash show`, the command will ignore the stash.showIncludeUntracked
configuration variable, defaulting to not showing any untracked files.
This is unintuitive behaviour since the format of the diff output and
whether or not to display untracked files are orthogonal.
Use stash.showIncludeUntracked even when diff options are given. Of
course, this is still overridable via the command-line options.

NOTES:
After this patch

Move specific handling of "-m" for diff-index to diff-index.c, so
diff-merges is left to handle only diff for merges options.
Being a better design by itself, this is especially essential in
preparation for letting -m imply -p, as "diff-index -m" obviously
should not imply -p, as it's entirely unrelated.
To handle this, in addition to moving specific diff-index "-m" code
out of diff-merges, we introduce new
diff_merges_suppress_options_parsing()
and call it before generic options processing in cmd_diff_index().
This new diff_merges_suppress_options_parsing() could then be reused
and called before invocations of setup_revisions() for other commands
that don't need --diff-merges options, but that's outside of the scope

Revert "remote-curl: fall back to basic auth if Negotiate fails"
t5551: test http interaction with credential helpers
When there are many renames between the old base of a series of commits
and the new base, the way sequencer.c, merge-recursive.c, and
diffcore-rename.c have traditionally split the work resulted in
redetecting the same renames with each and every commit being
transplanted. To address this, the last several commits have been
creating a cache of rename detection results, determining when it was
safe to use such a cache in subsequent merge operations, adding helper
functions, and so on. See the previous half dozen commit messages for
additional discussion of this optimization, particularly the message a
few commits ago entitled "add code to check for whether cached renames
can be reused". This commit finally ties all of that work together,
modifying the merge algorithm to make use of these cached renames.
For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin
performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28),
this change improves the performance as follows:
Before After
no-renames: 5.665 s ± 0.129 s 5.622 s ± 0.059 s
mega-renames: 11.435 s ± 0.158 s 10.127 s ± 0.073 s
just-one-mega: 494.2 ms ± 6.1 ms 500.3 ms ± 3.8 ms
That's a fairly small improvement, but mostly because the previous
optimizations were so effective for these particular testcases; this
optimization only kicks in when the others don't. If we undid the
basename-guided rename detection and skip-irrelevant-renames
optimizations, then we'd see that this series by itself improved
performance as follows:
Before Basename Series After Just This Series
no-renames: 13.815 s ± 0.062 s 5.697 s ± 0.080 s
mega-renames: 1799.937 s ± 0.493 s 205.709 s ± 0.457 s
Since this optimization kicks in to help accelerate cases where the
previous optimizations do not apply, this last comparison shows that
this cached-renames optimization has the potential to help signficantly
in cases that don't meet the requirements for the other optimizations to
be effective.
The changes made in this optimization also lay some important groundwork
for a future optimization around having collect_merge_info() avoid
recursing into subtrees in more cases.
However, for this optimization to be effective, merge_switch_to_result()
should only be called when the rebase or cherry-pick operation has
either completed or hit a case where the user needs to resolve a
conflict or edit the result. If it is called after every commit, as
sequencer.c does, then the working tree and index are needlessly updated
with every commit and the cached metadata is tossed, defeating this
optimization. Refactoring sequencer.c to only call
merge_switch_to_result() at the end of the operation is a bigger
undertaking, and the practical benefits of this optimization will not be
realized until that work is performed. Since `test-tool fast-rebase`
only updates at the end of the operation, it was used to obtain the
timings above.

Previously, callers of the merge-ort API could have passed an
uninitialized value for struct merge_result *result. However, we want
to check result to see if it has cached renames from a previous merge
that we can reuse; such values would be found behind result->priv.
However, if result->priv is uninitialized, attempting to access behind
it will give a segfault. So, we need result->priv to be NULL (which
will be the case if the caller does a memset(&result, 0)), or be written
by a previous call to the merge-ort machinery. Documenting this
requirement may help, but despite being the person who introduced this
requirement, I still missed it once and it did not fail in a very clear
way and led to a long debugging session.
Add a _properly_initialized field to merge_result; that value will be
0 if the caller zero'ed the merge_result, it will be set to a very
specific value by a previous run by the merge-ort machinery, and if it's
uninitialized it will most likely either be 0 or some value that does
not match the specific one we'd expect allowing us to throw a much more
meaningful error.

We need to know when renames detected in a previous merge operation can
be reused in a later merge operation. Consider the following setup
(from the git-rebase manpage):
A---B---C topic
/
D---E---F---G master
After rebasing, this will appear as:
A'--B'--C' topic
/
D---E---F---G master
Further, let's say that 'oldfile' was renamed to 'newfile' between E
and G. The rebase or cherry-pick of A onto G will involve a three-way
merge between E (as the merge base) and G and A. After detecting the
rename between E:oldfile and G:newfile, there will be a three-way
content merge of the following:
E:oldfile
G:newfile
A:oldfile
and produce a new result:
A':newfile
Now, when we want to pick B onto A', we will need to do a three-way
merge between A (as the merge-base) and A' and B. This will involve
a three-way content merge of
A:oldfile
A':newfile
B:oldfile
but only if we can detect that A:oldfile is similar enough to A':newfile
to be used together in a three-way content merge, i.e. only if we can
detect that A:oldfile and A':newfile are a rename. But we already know
that A:oldfile and A':newfile are similar enough to be used in a
three-way content merge, because that is precisely where A':newfile came
from in the previous merge.
Note that A & A' both appear in both merges. That gives us the
condition under which we can reuse renames.
There are a couple important points about this optimization:
- If the rebase or cherry-pick halts for user conflicts, these caches
are NOT saved anywhere. Thus, resuming a halted rebase or
cherry-pick will result in no reused renames for the next commit.
This is intentional, as user resolution can change files
significantly and in ways that violate the similarity assumptions
here.
- Technically, in a *very* narrow case this might give slightly
different results for rename detection. Using the example above,
if:
* E:oldfile had 20 lines
* G:newfile added 10 new lines at the beginning of the file
* A:oldfile deleted all but the first three lines of the file
then
=> A':newfile would have 13 lines, 3 of which matches those
in A:oldfile.
Consider the two cases:
* Without this optimization:
- the next step of the rebase operation (moving B to B')
would not detect the rename betwen A:oldfile and A':newfile
- we'd thus get a modify/delete conflict with the rebase
operation halting for the user to resolve, and have both
A':newfile and B:oldfile sitting in the working tree.
* With this optimization:
- the rename between A:oldfile and A':newfile would be detected
via the cache of renames
- a three-way merge between A:oldfile, A':newfile, and B:oldfile
would commence and be written to A':newfile
Now, is the difference in behavior a bug...or a bugfix? I can't
tell. Given that A:oldfile and A':newfile are not very similar,
when we three-way merge with B:oldfile it seems likely we'll hit a
conflict for the user to resolve. And it shouldn't be too hard for
users to see why we did that three-way merge; oldfile and newfile
*were* renames somewhere in the sequence. So, most of these corner
cases will still behave similarly -- namely, a conflict given to the
user to resolve. Also, consider the interesting case when commit B
is a clean revert of commit A. Without this optimization, a rebase
could not both apply a weird patch like A and then immediately
revert it; users would be forced to resolve merge conflicts. With
this optimization, it would successfully apply the clean revert.
So, there is certainly at least one case that behaves better. Even
if it's considered a "difference in behavior", I think both behaviors
are reasonable, and the time savings provided by this optimization
justify using the slightly altered rename heuristics.

Previously, when fast-rebase hit a conflict, it simply aborted and left
HEAD, the index, and the working tree where they were before the
operation started. While fast-rebase does not support restarting from a
conflicted state, write the conflicted state out anyway as it gives us a
way to see what the conflicts are and write tests that check for them.
This will be important in the upcoming commits, because sequencer.c is
only superficially integrated with merge-ort.c; in particular, it calls
merge_switch_to_result() after EACH merge instead of only calling it at
the end of all the sequence of merges (or when a conflict is hit). This
not only causes needless updates to the working copy and index, but also
causes all intermediate data to be freed and tossed, preventing caching
information from one merge to the next. However, integrating
sequencer.c more deeply with merge-ort.c is a big task, and making this
small extension to fast-rebase.c provides us with a simple way to test
the edge and corner cases that we want to make sure continue working.

Remembering renames on the upstream side of history in an early merge of
a rebase or cherry-pick for re-use in a latter merge of the same
operation makes pretty good intuitive sense. However, trying to show
that it doesn't cause some subtle behavioral difference or some funny
edge or corner case is much more involved. And, in fact, it does
introduce a subtle behavioral change.
Document all the assumptions, special cases, and logic involved in such
an optimization, and describe why this optimization is safe under the
current optimizations/features/etc. -- even when the subtle behavioral
change is triggered.
Part of the point of adding this document that goes over the
optimization in such laborious detail, is that it is possible that
significant future changes (optimizations or feature changes) could
interact with this optimization in interesting ways; this document is
here to help folks making big changes sanity check that the assumptions
and arguments underlying this optimization are still valid. (As a side
note, creating this document forced me to review things in sufficient
detail that I found I was not properly caching directory-rename-induced
renames, resulting in the code not being aware of those renames and
causing unnecessary diffcore_rename_extended() calls in subsequent
merges.)
A subsequent commit will add several testcases based on this document
meant to stress-test the implementation and also document the case with
the subtle behavioral change.

When fetching with the v0 protocol over ssh (or a local upload-pack with
pipes), the server closes the connection as soon as it is finished
sending the pack. So even though the client may still be operating on
the data via index-pack (e.g., resolving deltas, checking connectivity,
etc), the server has released all resources.
With the v2 protocol, however, the server considers the ssh session only
as a transport, with individual requests coming over it. After sending
the pack, it goes back to its main loop, waiting for another request to
come from the client. As a result, the ssh session hangs around until
the client process ends, which may be much later (because resolving
deltas, etc, may consume a lot of CPU).
This is bad for two reasons:
- it's consuming resources on the server to leave open a connection
that won't see any more use
- if something bad happens to the ssh connection in the meantime (say,
it gets killed by the network because it's idle, as happened in a
real-world report), then ssh will exit non-zero, and we'll propagate
the error up the stack.
The server is correct here not to hang up after serving the pack. The v2
protocol's design is meant to allow multiple requests like this, and
hanging up would be the wrong thing for a hypothetical client which was
planning to make more requests (though in practice, the git.git client
never would, and I doubt any other implementations would either).
The right thing is instead for the client to signal to the server that
it's not interested in making more requests. We can do that by closing
the pipe descriptor we use to write to ssh. This will propagate to the
server upload-pack as an EOF when it tries to read the next request (and
then it will close its half, and the whole connection will go away).
It's important to do this "half duplex" shutdown, because we have to do
it _before_ we actually receive the pack. This is an artifact of the way
fetch-pack and index-pack (or unpack-objects) interact. We hand the
connection off to index-pack (really, a sideband demuxer which feeds
it), and then wait until it returns. And it doesn't do that until it has
resolved all of the deltas in the pack, even though it was done reading
from the server long before.
So just closing the connection fully after index-pack returns would be
too late; we'd have held it open much longer than was necessary. And
teaching index-pack to close the connection is awkward. It's not even
seeing the whole conversation (the sideband demuxer is, but it doesn't
actually know what's in the packets, or when the end comes).
Note that this close() is happening deep within the transport code. It's
possible that a caller would want to perform other operations over the
same ssh transport after receiving the pack. But as of the current code,
none of the callers do, and there haven't been discussions of any plans
to change this. If we need to support that later, we can probably do so
by passing down a flag for "you're the last request on the transport;
it's OK to close" instead of the code just assuming that's true.
The description above all discusses v2 ssh, so it's worth thinking about
how this interacts with other protocols:
- in v0 protocols, we could do the same half-duplex shutdown (it just
goes into the v0 do_fetch_pack() instead). This does work, but since
it doesn't have the same persistence problem in the first place,
there's little reason to change it at this point.
- local fetches against git-upload-pack on the same machine will
behave the same as ssh (they are talking over two pipes, and see EOF
on their input pipe)
- fetches against git-daemon will run this same code, and close one of
the descriptors. In practice, this won't do anything, since there
our two descriptors are dups of each other, and not part of a
half-duplex pair. The right thing would probably be to call
shutdown(SHUT_WR) on it. I didn't bother with that here. It doesn't
face the same error-code problem (since it's just a TCP connection),
so it's really only an optimization problem. And git:// is not that
widely used these days, and has less impact on server resources than
an ssh termination.
- v2 http doesn't suffer from this problem in the first place, as our
pipes terminate at a local git-remote-https, which is passing data
along as individual requests via curl. Probably curl is keeping the
TCP/TLS connection open for more requests, and we might be able to
tell it manually "hey, we are done making requests now". But I think
that's much less important. It again doesn't suffer from the
error-code problem, and HTTP keepalive is pretty well understood
(importantly, the timeouts can be set low, because clients like curl
know how to reconnect for subsequent requests if necessary). So it's
probably not worth figuring out how to tell curl that we're done
(though if we do, this patch is probably the first step anyway;
fetch-pack closes the pipe back to remote-https, which would be the
signal that it should tell curl we're done).
The code is pretty straightforward. We close the pipe at the right
moment, and set it to -1 to mark it as invalid. I modified the later
cleanup code to avoid calling close(-1). That's not strictly necessary,
since close(-1) is a noop, but hopefully makes things a bit more obvious
to a reader.
I suspect that trying to call more transport functions after the close()
(e.g., calling transport_fetch_refs() again) would fail, as it's not
smart enough to realize we need to re-open the ssh connection. But
that's already true when v0 is in use. And no current callers want to do
that (and again, the solution is probably a flag in the transport code
to keep things open, which can be added later).
There's no test here, as the situation it covers is inherently racy (the
question is when upload-pack exits, compared to when index-pack finishes
resolving deltas and exits). The rather gross shell snippet below does
recreate the problematic situation; when run on a sufficiently-large
repository (git.git works fine), it kills an "idle" upload-pack while
the client is resolving deltas, leading to a failed clone.

git-clone started respecting errors from the transport subsystem in
aab179d937 (builtin/clone.c: don't ignore transport_fetch_refs() errors,
2020-12-03). However, that commit didn't handle the cleanup of the
filesystem quite right.
The cleanup of the directory that cmd_clone() creates is done by an
atexit() handler, which we control with a flag. It starts as
JUNK_LEAVE_NONE ("clean up everything"), then progresses to
JUNK_LEAVE_REPO when we know we have a valid repo but not working tree,
and then finally JUNK_LEAVE_ALL when we have a successful checkout.
Most errors cause us to die(), which then triggers the handler to do the
right thing based on how far into cmd_clone() we got. But the checks
added by aab179d937 instead set the "err" variable and then jump to a
new "cleanup" label, which then returns our non-zero status. However,
the code after the cleanup label includes setting the flag to
JUNK_LEAVE_ALL, and so we accidentally leave the repository and working
tree in place.
One obvious option to fix this is to reorder the end of the function to
set the flag first, before cleanup code, and put the label between them.
But we can observe another small bug: the error return from
transport_fetch_refs() is generally "-1", and we propagate that to the
return value of cmd_clone(), which ultimately becomes the exit code of
the process. And we try to avoid transmitting negative values via exit
codes (only the low 8 bits are passed along as an unsigned value, though
in practice for "-1" this at least retains the property that it's
non-zero).
Instead, let's just die(). That makes us consistent with rest of the
code in the function. It does add a new "fatal:" line to the output, but
I'd argue that's a good thing:
- in the rare case that the transport code didn't say anything, now
the user gets _some_ error message
- even if the transport code said something like "error: ssh died of
signal 9", it's nice to also say "fatal" to indicate that we
considered that to be a show-stopper.
Triggering this in the test suite turns out to be surprisingly
difficult. Almost every error we'd encounter, including ones deep inside
the transport code, cause us to just die() right there! However, one way
is to put a fake wrapper around git-upload-pack that sends the complete
packfile but exits with a failure code.
