With 50033772d5 ("connected: verify promisor-ness of partial clone",
2020-01-30), the fast path (checking promisor packs) in
check_connected() now passes a subset of the slow path (rev-list) - if
all objects to be checked are found in promisor packs, both the fast
path and the slow path will pass; otherwise, the fast path will
definitely not pass. This means that we can always attempt the fast path
whenever we need to do the slow path.
The fast path is currently guarded by a flag; therefore, remove that
flag. Also, make the fast path fallback to the slow path - if the fast
path fails, the failing OID and all remaining OIDs will be passed to
rev-list.
The main user-visible benefit is the performance of fetch from a partial
clone - specifically, the speedup of the connectivity check done before
the fetch. In particular, a no-op fetch into a partial clone on my
computer was sped up from 7 seconds to 0.01 seconds. This is a
complement to the work in 2df1aa239c ("fetch: forgo full
connectivity check if --filter", 2020-01-30), which is the child of the
aforementioned 50033772d5. In that commit, the connectivity check
*after* the fetch was sped up.
The addition of the fast path might cause performance reductions in
these cases:
- If a partial clone or a fetch into a partial clone fails, Git will
fruitlessly run rev-list (it is expected that everything fetched
would go into promisor packs, so if that didn't happen, it is most
likely that rev-list will fail too).
- Any connectivity checks done by receive-pack, in the (in my opinion,
unlikely) event that a partial clone serves receive-pack.
I think that these cases are rare enough, and the performance reduction
in this case minor enough (additional object DB access), that the
benefit of avoiding a flag outweighs these.

If a filter is specified, we do not need a full connectivity check on
the contents of the packfile we just fetched; we only need to check that
the objects referenced are promisor objects.
This significantly speeds up fetches into repositories that have many
promisor objects, because during the connectivity check, all promisor
objects are enumerated (to mark them UNINTERESTING), and that takes a
significant amount of time.

Commit dfa33a298d ("clone: do faster object check for partial clones",
2019-04-21) optimized the connectivity check done when cloning with
--filter to check only the existence of objects directly pointed to by
refs. But this is not sufficient: they also need to be promisor objects.
Make this check more robust by instead checking that these objects are
promisor objects, that is, they appear in a promisor pack.

Further tweak to a "no backslash in indexed paths" for Windows port
we applied earlier.
* js/mingw-loosen-overstrict-tree-entry-checks:
mingw: safeguard better against backslashes in file names
In 224c7d70fa (mingw: only test index entries for backslashes, not tree
entries, 2019-12-31), we relaxed the check for backslashes in tree
entries to check only index entries.
However, the code change was incorrect: it was added to
`add_index_entry_with_check()`, not to `add_index_entry()`, so under
certain circumstances it was possible to side-step the protection.
Besides, the description of that commit purported that all index entries
would be checked when in fact they were only checked when being added to
the index (there are code paths that do not do that, constructing
"transient" index entries).
In any case, it was pointed out in one insightful review at
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/2437#issuecomment-566771835
that it would be a much better idea to teach `verify_path()` to perform
the check for a backslash. This is safer, even if it comes with two
notable drawbacks:
- `verify_path()` cannot say _what_ is wrong with the path, therefore
the user will no longer be told that there was a backslash in the
path, only that the path was invalid.
- The `git apply` command also calls the `verify_path()` function, and
might have been able to handle Windows-style paths (i.e. with
backslashes instead of forward slashes). This will no longer be
possible unless the user (temporarily) sets `core.protectNTFS=false`.
Note that `git add <windows-path>` will _still_ work because
`normalize_path_copy_len()` will convert the backslashes to forward
slashes before hitting the code path that creates an index entry.
The clear advantage is that `verify_path()`'s purpose is to check the
validity of the file name, therefore we naturally tap into all the code
paths that need safeguarding, also implicitly into future code paths.
The benefits of that approach outweigh the downsides, so let's move the
check from `add_index_entry_with_check()` to `verify_path()`.

Since recent updates to the log graph rendering code, drawing

In some cases, horizontal lines in rendered graphs can lose their
coloring. This is due to a use of graph_line_addch() instead of
graph_line_write_column(). Using a ternary operator to pick the
character is nice for compact code, but we actually need a column to
provide the color.
Add a test to t4215-log-skewed-merges.sh to prevent regression.

When "git log --graph" shows a merge commit that has two collapsing
lines, like:
| | | | *
| |_|_|/|
|/| | |/
| | |/|
| |/| |
| * | |
* | | |
we trigger an assert():
graph.c:1228: graph_output_collapsing_line: Assertion
`graph->mapping[i - 3] == target' failed.
The assert was introduced by eaf158f8 ("graph API: Use horizontal
lines for more compact graphs", 2009-04-21), which is quite old.
This assert is trying to say that when we complete a horizontal
line with a single slash, it is because we have reached our target.
It is actually the _second_ collapsing line that hits this assert.
The reason we are in this code path is because we are collapsing
the first line, and in that case we are hitting our target now
that the horizontal line is complete. However, the second line
cannot be a horizontal line, so it will collapse without horizontal
lines. In this case, it is inappropriate to assert that we have
reached our target, as we need to continue for another column
before reaching the target. Dropping the assert is safe here.
The new behavior in 0f0f389f12 (graph: tidy up display of
left-skewed merges, 2019-10-15) caused the behavior change that
made this assertion failure possible. In addition to making the
assert possible, it also changed how multiple edges collapse.
In a larger example, the current code will output a collapse
as follows:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | | | |/| /
| | | |/| |/
| | |/| |/|
| |/| |/| |
| | |/| | |
| | * | | |
However, the intended collapse should allow multiple horizontal lines
as follows:
| | | | | | *
| |_|_|_|_|/|\
|/| | | | |/ /
| | |_|_|/| /
| |/| | | |/
| | | |_|/|
| | |/| | |
| | * | | |
This behavior is not corrected by this change, but is noted for a later
update.

In 50f26bd ("fetch: add fetch.writeCommitGraph config setting",
2019-09-02), the fetch builtin added the capability to write a
commit-graph using the "--split" feature. This feature creates
multiple commit-graph files, and those can merge based on a set
of "split options" including a size multiple. The default size
multiple is 2, which intends to provide a log_2 N depth of the
commit-graph chain where N is the number of commits.
However, I noticed during dogfooding that my commit-graph chains
were becoming quite large when left only to builds by 'git fetch'.
It turns out that in split_graph_merge_strategy(), we default the
size_mult variable to 2 except we override it with the context's
split_opts if they exist. In builtin/fetch.c, we create such a
split_opts, but do not populate it with values.
This problem is due to two failures:
1. It is unclear that we can add the flag COMMIT_GRAPH_WRITE_SPLIT
with a NULL split_opts.
2. If we have a non-NULL split_opts, then we override the default
values even if a zero value is given.
Correct both of these issues. First, do not override size_mult when
the options provide a zero value. Second, stop creating a split_opts
in the fetch builtin.

During a clone of a repository that contained a file with a backslash in
its name in the past, as of v2.24.1(2), Git for Windows prints errors
like this:
error: filename in tree entry contains backslash: '\'
The idea is to prevent Git from even trying to write files with
backslashes in their file names: while these characters are valid in
file names on other platforms, on Windows it is interpreted as directory
separator (which would obviously lead to ambiguities, e.g. when there is
a file `a\b` and there is also a file `a/b`).
Arguably, this is the wrong layer for that error: As long as the user
never checks out the files whose names contain backslashes, there should
not be any problem in the first place.
So let's loosen the requirements: we now leave tree entries with
backslashes in their file names alone, but we do require any entries
that are added to the Git index to contain no backslashes on Windows.
Note: just as before, the check is guarded by `core.protectNTFS` (to
allow overriding the check by toggling that config setting), and it
is _only_ performed on Windows, as the backslash is not a directory
separator elsewhere, even when writing to NTFS-formatted volumes.
An alternative approach would be to try to prevent creating files with
backslashes in their file names. However, that comes with its own set of
problems. For example, `git config -f C:\ProgramData\Git\config ...` is
a very valid way to specify a custom config location, and we obviously
do _not_ want to prevent that. Therefore, the approach chosen in this
patch would appear to be better.
