When running unpack_trees() with a sparse index, we attempt to operate
on the index without expanding the sparse directory entries. Thus, we
operate by manipulating entire directories and passing them to the
unpack function. In the case of the 'git checkout' command, this is the
twoway_merge() function.
There are several cases in twoway_merge() that handle different
situations. One new one to add is the case of a directory/file conflict
where the directory is sparse. Before the sparse index, such a conflict
would appear as a list of file additions and deletions. Now,
twoway_merge() initializes 'current', 'oldtree', and 'newtree' from
src[0], src[1], and src[2], then sets 'oldtree' to NULL because it is
equal to the df_conflict_entry. The way to determine that we have a
directory/file conflict is to test that 'current' and 'newtree' disagree
on being sparse directory entries.
When we are in this case, we want to resolve the situation by calling
merged_entry(). This allows replacing the 'current' entry with the
'newtree' entry. This is important for cases where we want to run 'git
checkout' across the conflict and have the new HEAD represent the new
file type at that path. The first NEEDSWORK comment dropped in t1092
demonstrates this necessary behavior.
However, we still are in a confusing state when 'current' corresponds to
a staged change within a sparse directory that is not present at HEAD.
This should be atypical, because it requires adding a change outside of
the sparse-checkout cone, but it is possible. Since we are unable to
determine that this is a staged change within twoway_merge(), we cannot
add a case to reject the merge at this point. I believe this is due to
the use of df_conflict_entry in the place of 'oldtree' instead of using
the valud at HEAD, which would provide some perspective to this
decision. Any change that would allow this differentiation for staged
entries would need to involve information further up in unpack_trees().
That work should be done, sometime, because we are further confusing the
behavior of a directory/file conflict when staging a change in the
directory. The two cases 'checkout behaves oddly with df-conflict-?' in
t1092 demonstrate that even without a sparse-checkout, Git is not
consistent in its behavior. Neither of the two options seems correct,
either. This change makes the sparse-index behave differently than the
typcial sparse-checkout case, but it does match the full checkout
behavior in the df-conflict-2 case.

Add new branches to the test repo that demonstrate directory/file
conflicts in different ways. Since the directory 'folder1/' has
adjacent files 'folder1-', 'folder1.txt', and 'folder10' it causes
searches for 'folder1/' to land in a different place in the index than a
search for 'folder1'. This causes a change in behavior when working with
the df-conflict-1 and df-conflict-2 branches, whose only difference is
that the first uses 'folder1' as the conflict and the other uses
'folder2' which does not have these adjacent files.
We can extend two tests that compare the behavior across different 'git
checkout' commands, and we see already that the behavior will be
different in some cases and not in others. The difference between the
two test loops is that one uses 'git reset --hard' between iterations.
Further, we isolate the behavior of creating a staged change within a
directory and then checking out a branch where that directory is
replaced with a file. A full checkout behaves differently across these
two cases, while a sparse-checkout cone behaves consistently. In both
cases, the behavior is wrong. In one case, the staged change is dropped
entirely. The other case the staged change is kept, replacing the file
at that location, but none of the other files in the directory are kept.
Likely, the correct behavior in this case is to reject the checkout and
report the conflict, leaving HEAD in its previous location. None of the
cases behave this way currently. Use comments to demonstrate that the
tested behavior is only a documentation of the current, incorrect
behavior to ensure we do not _accidentally_ change it. Instead, we would
prefer to change it on purpose with a future change.
At this point, the sparse-index does not handle these 'git checkout'
commands correctly. Or rather, it _does_ reject the 'git checkout' when
we have the staged change, but for the wrong reason. It also rejects the
'git checkout' commands when there is no staged change and we want to
replace a directory with a file. A fix for that unstaged case will
follow in the next change, but that will make the sparse-index agree
with the full checkout case in these documented incorrect behaviors.

The doc for 'submodule.recurse' starts with "Specifies if commands
recurse into submodles by default". This is not exactly true of all
commands that have a '--recurse-submodules' option. For example, 'git
pull --recurse-submodules' does not run 'git pull' in each submodule,
but rather runs 'git submodule update --recursive' so that the submodule
working trees after the pull matches the commits recorded in the
superproject.
Clarify that by just saying that it enables '--recurse-submodules'.
Note that the way this setting interacts with 'fetch.recurseSubmodules'

The merge algorithm mostly consists of the following three functions:
collect_merge_info()
detect_and_process_renames()
process_entries()
Prior to the trivial directory resolution optimization of the last half
dozen commits, process_entries() was consistently the slowest, followed
by collect_merge_info(), then detect_and_process_renames(). When the
trivial directory resolution applies, it often dramatically decreases
the amount of time spent in the two slower functions.
Looking at the performance results in the previous commit, the trivial
directory resolution optimization helps amazingly well when there are no
relevant renames. It also helps really well when reapplying a long
series of linear commits (such as in a rebase or cherry-pick), since the
relevant renames may well be cached from the first reapplied commit.
But when there are any relevant renames that are not cached (represented
by the just-one-mega testcase), then the optimization does not help at
all.
Often, I noticed that when the optimization does not apply, it is
because there are a handful of relevant sources -- maybe even only one.
It felt frustrating to need to recurse into potentially hundreds or even
thousands of directories just for a single rename, but it was needed for
correctness.
However, staring at this list of functions and noticing that
process_entries() is the most expensive and knowing I could avoid it if
I had cached renames suggested a simple idea: change
collect_merge_info()
detect_and_process_renames()
process_entries()
into
collect_merge_info()
detect_and_process_renames()
<cache all the renames, and restart>
collect_merge_info()
detect_and_process_renames()
process_entries()
This may seem odd and look like more work. However, note that although
we run collect_merge_info() twice, the second time we get to employ
trivial directory resolves, which makes it much faster, so the increased
time in collect_merge_info() is small. While we run
detect_and_process_renames() again, all renames are cached so it's
nearly a no-op (we don't call into diffcore_rename_extended() but we do
have a little bit of data structure checking and fixing up). And the
big payoff comes from the fact that process_entries(), will be much
faster due to having far fewer entries to process.
This restarting only makes sense if we can save recursing into enough
directories to make it worth our while. Introduce a simple heuristic to
guide this. Note that this heuristic uses a "wanted_factor" that I have
virtually no actual real world data for, just some back-of-the-envelope
quasi-scientific calculations that I included in some comments and then
plucked a simple round number out of thin air. It could be that
tweaking this number to make it either higher or lower improves the
optimization. (There's slightly more here; when I first introduced this
optimization, I used a factor of 10, because I was completely confident
it was big enough to not cause slowdowns in special cases. I was
certain it was higher than needed. Several months later, I added the
rough calculations which make me think the optimal number is close to 2;
but instead of pushing to the limit, I just bumped it to 3 to reduce the
risk that there are special cases where this optimization can result in
slowing down the code a little. If the ratio of path counts is below 3,
we probably will only see minor performance improvements at best
anyway.)
Also, note that while the diffstat looks kind of long (nearly 100
lines), more than half of it is in two comments explaining how things
work.
For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin

This combines the work of the last several patches, and implements the
conditions when we don't need to recurse into directories. It's perhaps
easiest to see the logic by separating the fact that a directory might
have both rename sources and rename destinations:
* rename sources: only files present in the merge base can serve as
rename sources, and only when one side deletes that file. When the
tree on one side matches the merge base, that means every file
within the subtree matches the merge base. This means that the
skip-irrelevant-rename-detection optimization from before kicks in
and we don't need any of these files as rename sources.
* rename destinations: the tree that does not match the merge base
might have newly added and hence unmatched destination files.
This is what usually prevents us from doing trivial directory
resolutions in the merge machinery. However, the fact that we have
deferred recursing into this directory until the end means we know
whether there are any unmatched relevant potential rename sources
elsewhere in this merge. If there are no unmatched such relevant
sources anywhere, then there is no need to look for unmatched
potential rename destinations to match them with.
This informs our algorithm:
* Search through relevant_sources; if we have entries, they better all
be reflected in cached_pairs or cached_irrelevant, otherwise they
represent an unmatched potential rename source (causing the
optimization to be disallowed).
* For any relevant_source represented in cached_pairs, we do need to
to make sure to get the destination for each source, meaning we need
to recurse into any ancestor directories of those destinations.
* Once we've recursed into all the rename destinations for any
relevant_sources in cached_pairs, we can then do the trivial
directory resolution for the remaining directories.

When one side of history matches the merge base (including when the
merge base has no entry for the given directory), have
collect_merge_info_callback() defer recursing into the directory. To
ensure those entries are eventually handled, add a call to
handled_deferred_entries() in collect_merge_info() after
traverse_trees() returns.
Note that the condition in collect_merge_info_callback() may look more
complicated than necessary at first glance;
renames->trivial_merges_okay[side] is always true until
handle_deferred_entries() is called, and possible_trivial_merges[side]
is always empty right now (and in the future won't be filled until
handle_deferred_entries() is called). However, when
handle_deferred_entries() calls traverse_trees() for the relevant
deferred directories, those traverse_trees() calls will once again end
up in collect_merge_info_callback() for all the entries under those
subdirectories. The extra conditions are there for such deferred cases
and will be used more as we do more with those variables.

In order to allow trivial directory resolution, we first need to be able
to gather more information to determine if the optimization is safe. To
enable that, we need a way of deferring the recursion into the directory
until a later time. Naturally, deferring the entry into a subtree means
that we need some function that will later recurse into the subdirectory
exactly the same way that collect_merge_info_callback() would have done.
Add a helper function that does this. For now this function is not used
but a subsequent commit will change that. Future commits will also make
the function sometimes resolve directories instead of traversing inside.

As noted a few commits ago, we can resolve individual files early if all
three sides of the merge have a file at the path and two of the three
sides match. We would really like to do the same thing with
directories, because being able to do a trivial directory resolve means
we don't have to recurse into the directory, potentially saving us a
huge amount of time in both collect_merge_info() and process_entries().
Unfortunately, resolving directories early would mean missing any
renames whose source or destination is underneath that directory.
If we somehow knew there weren't any renames under the directory in
question, then we could resolve it early. Sadly, it is impossible to
determine whether there are renames under the directory in question
without recursing into it, and this has traditionally kept us from ever
implementing such an optimization.
In commit f89b4f2bee ("merge-ort: skip rename detection entirely if
possible", 2021-03-11), we added an additional reason that rename
detection could be skipped entirely -- namely, if no *relevant* sources
were present. Without completing collect_merge_info_callback(), we do
not yet know if there are no relevant sources. However, we do know that
if the current directory on one side matches the merge base, then every
source file within that directory will not be RELEVANT_CONTENT, and a
few simple checks can often let us rule out RELEVANT_LOCATION as well.
This suggests we can just defer recursing into such directories until
the end of collect_merge_info.
Since the deferred directories are known to not add any relevant sources
due to the above properties, then if there are no relevant sources after
we've traversed all paths other than the deferred ones, then we know
there are not any relevant sources. Under those conditions, rename
detection is unnecessary, and that means we can resolve the deferred
directories without recursing into them.
Note that the logic for skipping rename detection was also modified
further in commit 76e253793c ("merge-ort, diffcore-rename: employ cached
renames when possible", 2021-01-30); in particular rename detection can
be skipped if we already have cached renames for each relevant source.
We can take advantage of this information as well with our deferral of
recursing into directories where one side matches the merge base.
Add some data structures that we will use to do these deferrals, with
some lengthy comments explaining their purpose.

When there are no directories involved at a given path, and all three
sides have a file at that path, and two of the three sides of history
match, we can immediately resolve the merge of that path in
collect_merge_info() and do not need to wait until process_entries().
This is actually a very minor improvement: half the time when I run it,
I see an improvement; the other half a slowdown. It seems to be in the
range of noise. However, this idea serves as the beginning of some
bigger optimizations coming in the following patches.

Testcases in t0000 are quite special given that they many of them run
nested testcases to verify that testing functionality itself works as
expected. These nested testcases are realized by writing a new ad-hoc
test script which again sources test-lib.sh, where the new script is
created in a nested subdirectory located beneath the current trash
directory. We then execute the new test script with the nested
subdirectory as current working directory and explicitly re-export
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY to point to that directory.
While this works as expected in the general case, it falls apart when
the developer has TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY explicitly defined either via
the environment or via config.mak and runs "make test". In that case,
test-lib.sh will clobber the value that we've just carefully set up to
instead contain what the developer has defined. As a result, the
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY continues to point at the root output directory,
not at the nested one.
This issue causes breakage in the 'test_atexit is run' test case: the
nested test case writes files into "../../", which is assumed to be the
parent's trash directory. But because TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY already
points to to the root output directory, we instead end up writing those
files outside of the output directory. The parent test case will then
try to check whether those files still exist in its own trash directory,
which thus must fail now.
Fix the issue by adding a new TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_OVERRIDE variable.
If set, then we'll always override the TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY with its
value after sourcing GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS.

Since cd57bc41bb (builtin/multi-pack-index.c: display usage on

But the first caller has been broken since cd57bc41bb, since it will
happily jump to usage without arguments, and then pass argv[0] to the

Many compilers will save us from a segfault here, but the end result is
ugly, since it mentions an unrecognized subcommand when we didn't even

In t0000, we run several fake "sub-test" suites to verify the behavior
of the test suite. But because we don't clear the parent environment
completely, the sub-tests can be fooled by variables meant for the
parent. For example:
GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t1234 ./t0000-basic.sh
fails when a sub-test expects its fake t1234 to actually run. This
particular pattern is unlikely in practice; we're running a single
script, and there is no t1234 in the real test suite anyway (not yet, at
least). A more real-world example is:
GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t[^0]* make test
to run only the t0* tests.
The fix is conceptually simple: we should clear the GIT_SKIP_TESTS
variable when running the sub-tests, because its contents (if any) will
be meant for the main test suite. This is easy to do centrally in our
sub-test helper.
But there's a catch: some of our tests do set GIT_SKIP_TESTS
intentionally to test the feature. We need to allow them to continue to
set it, but clear it for all the other tests. And the sub-test helper
can't tell if the GIT_SKIP_TESTS it sees is from a test or not. We can
handle this by adding a new option to the helper to let callers specify
the skip list.
I considered adding a more general "--eval" option to let callers set up
the env for the sub-test however they like. That would cover this case
and possible future ones. But the quoting gets awkward for the callers
(since we're now 2 layers deep in evals!), so I went with the simpler
more specific solution.

show-branch tests: modernize test code
show-branch tests: rename the one "show-branch" test file
Code recently added to support common ancestry negotiation during
"git push" did not sanity check its arguments carefully enough.
* ab/fetch-negotiate-segv-fix:
fetch: fix segfault in --negotiate-only without --negotiation-tip=*
fetch: document the --negotiate-only option
send-pack.c: move "no refs in common" abort earlier
Update the location of system-side configuration file on Windows.

config: normalize the path of the system gitconfig
cmake(windows): set correct path to the system Git config
mingw: move Git for Windows' system config where users expect it
When rebuilding the multi-pack index file reusing an existing one,
we used to blindly trust the existing file and ended up carrying
corrupted data into the updated file, which has been corrected.
* tb/midx-use-checksum:
midx: report checksum mismatches during 'verify'
midx: don't reuse corrupt MIDXs when writing
commit-graph: rewrite to use checksum_valid()
csum-file: introduce checksum_valid()
The merge code had funny interactions between content based rename
detection and directory rename detection.
* en/merge-dir-rename-corner-case-fix:
merge-recursive: handle rename-to-self case
merge-ort: ensure we consult df_conflict and path_conflicts
t6423: test directory renames causing rename-to-self
Performance tweaks of "git merge -sort" around lazy fetching of objects.
* en/ort-perf-batch-13:
merge-ort: add prefetching for content merges
diffcore-rename: use a different prefetch for basename comparisons
diffcore-rename: allow different missing_object_cb functions
t6421: add tests checking for excessive object downloads during merge
promisor-remote: output trace2 statistics for number of objects fetched
More fix-ups and optimization to "merge -sort".
* en/ort-perf-batch-12:
merge-ort: miscellaneous touch-ups
Fix various issues found in comments
diffcore-rename: avoid unnecessary strdup'ing in break_idx
merge-ort: replace string_list_df_name_compare with faster alternative
Technical writing seeks to convey information with minimal
friction. One way that a reader can experience friction is if they
encounter a description of "a user" that is later simplified using a
gendered pronoun. If the reader does not consider that pronoun to
apply to them, then they can experience cognitive dissonance that
removes focus from the information.
Give some basic tips to guide us avoid unnecessary uses of gendered
description.
Using a gendered pronoun is appropriate when referring to a specific
person.
There are acceptable existing uses of gendered pronouns within the
Git codebase, such as:
* References to real people (e.g. Linus Torvalds, "the Git maintainer").
Do not misgender real people. If there is any doubt to the gender of a
person, then avoid using pronouns.
* References to fictional people with clear genders (e.g. Alice and
Bob).
* Sample text used in test cases (e.g t3702, t6432).
* The official text of the GPL license contains uses of "he or she",
but using singular "they" (or modifying the text in some other
way) is not within the scope of the Git project.
* Literal email messages in Documentation/howto/ should not be edited
for grammatical concerns such as this, unless we update the entire
document to fit the standard documentation format. If such an effort is
taken on, then the authorship would change and no longer refer to the
exact mail message.
* External projects consumed in contrib/ should not deviate solely for
style reasons. Recommended edits should be contributed to those
projects directly.
Other cases within the Git project were cleaned up by the previous
changes.

Since 'OPT_ALIAS' was created in 5c387428f1 (parse-options: don't emit
"ambiguous option" for aliases, 2019-04-29), 'git clone
--git-completion-helper', which is used by the Bash completion script to
list options accepted by clone (via '__gitcomp_builtin'), lists both
'--recurse-submodules' and its alias '--recursive', which was not the
case before since '--recursive' had the PARSE_OPT_HIDDEN flag set, and
options with this flag are skipped by 'parse-options.c::show_gitcomp',
which implements 'git <cmd> --git-completion-helper'.
This means that typing 'git clone --recurs<TAB>' will yield both
'--recurse-submodules' and '--recursive', which is not ideal since both
do the same thing, and so the completion should directly complete the
canonical option.
At the point where 'show_gitcomp' is called in 'parse_options_step',
'preprocess_options' was already called in 'parse_options', so any
aliases are now copies of the original options with a modified help text
indicating they are aliases.
Helpfully, since 64cc539fd2 (parse-options: don't leak alias help
messages, 2021-03-21) these copies have the PARSE_OPT_FROM_ALIAS flag
set, so check that flag early in 'show_gitcomp' and do not print them,
unless the user explicitely requested that *all* completion be shown (by
setting 'GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL'). After all, if we want to encourage
the use of '--recurse-submodules' over '--recursive', we'd better just
suggest the former.
The only other options alias is 'log' and friends' '--mailmap', which is
an alias for '--use-mailmap', but the Bash completion helpers for these
commands do not use '__gitcomp_builtin', and thus are unnaffected by
this change.
Test the new behaviour in t9902-completion.sh. As a side effect, this
also tests the correct behaviour of GIT_COMPLETION_SHOW_ALL, which was
not tested before. Note that since '__gitcomp_builtin' caches the
options it shows, we need to re-source the completion script to clear
that cache for the second test.
