This creates a new fsmonitor-ll.h with most of the functions from
fsmonitor.h, though it leaves three inline functions where they were.
Two-thirds of the files that previously included fsmonitor.h did not
need those three inline functions or the six extra includes those inline
functions required, so this allows them to only include the lower level
header.

The vast majority of files including object-store.h did not need dir.h
nor khash.h. Split the header into two files, and let most just depend
upon object-store-ll.h, while letting the two callers that need it
depend on the full object-store.h.
After this patch:
$ git grep -h include..object-store | sort | uniq -c
2 #include "object-store.h"
129 #include "object-store-ll.h"

to find which files could remove a dependence on cache.h. Make C files

The logic to see if we are using the "cone" mode by checking the
sparsity patterns has been tightened to avoid mistaking a pattern
that names a single file as specifying a cone.
* ws/single-file-cone:
dir: check for single file cone patterns
|
|
The sparse checkout documentation states that the cone mode pattern set
is limited to patterns that either recursively include directories or
patterns that match all files in a directory. In the sparse checkout
file, the former manifest in the form:
/A/B/C/
while the latter become a pair of patterns either in the form:
/A/B/
!/A/B/*/
or in the special case of matching the toplevel files:
/*
!/*/
The 'add_pattern_to_hashsets()' function contains checks which serve to
disable cone-mode when non-cone patterns are encountered. However, these
do not catch when the pattern list attempts to match a single file or
directory, e.g. a pattern in the form:
/A/B/C
This causes sparse-checkout to exhibit unexpected behaviour when such a
pattern is in the sparse-checkout file and cone mode is enabled.
Concretely, with the pattern like the above, sparse-checkout, in
non-cone mode, will only include the directory or file located at
'/A/B/C'. However, with cone mode enabled, sparse-checkout will instead
just manifest the toplevel files but not any file located at '/A/B/C'.
Relatedly, issues occur when supplying the same kind of filter when
partial cloning with '--filter=sparse:oid=<oid>'. 'upload-pack' will
correctly just include the objects that match the non-cone pattern
matching. Which means that checking out the newly cloned repo with the
same filter, but with cone mode enabled, fails due to missing objects.
To fix these issues, add a cone mode pattern check that asserts that
every pattern is either a directory match or the pattern '/*'. Add a
test to verify the new pattern check and modify another to reflect that
non-directory patterns are caught earlier.

When the "ident" member of the structure was added in
1e8fef609e7 (untracked cache: guard and disable on system changes,
2015-03-08) this function wasn't updated to free it. Let's do so.
Let's also free the "exclude_per_dir" memory we've been leaking
since[1], while making sure not to free() the constant ".gitignore"
string we add by default[2].
As we now have three struct members we're freeing let's change
free_untracked_cache() to return early if "uc" isn't defined. We won't
hand it to free() now, but that was just for convenience, once we're
dealing with >=2 struct members this pattern is more convenient.

git-compat-util: add UNUSED macro
|
|
As reported in [1] the "UNUSED(var)" macro introduced in
2174b8c75de (Merge branch 'jk/unused-annotation' into next,
2022-08-24) breaks coccinelle's parsing of our sources in files where
it occurs.
Let's instead partially go with the approach suggested in [2] of
making this not take an argument. As noted in [1] "coccinelle" will
ignore such tokens in argument lists that it doesn't know about, and
it's less of a surprise to syntax highlighters.
This undoes the "help us notice when a parameter marked as unused is
actually use" part of 9b240347543 (git-compat-util: add UNUSED macro,
2022-08-19), a subsequent commit will further tweak the macro to
implement a replacement for that functionality.

This field has not been used since the function was introduced in
b559263216 (exclude: split pathname matching code into a separate
function, 2012-10-15), though there was a brief period where it was
erroneously used and then reverted in ed4958477b (dir: fix pattern
matching on dirs, 2021-09-24) and 5ceb663e92 (dir: fix
directory-matching bug, 2021-11-02).
It's possible we'd eventually add a flag that makes it useful here, but
there are only a handful of callers. It would be easy to add back if
necessary, and in the meantime this makes the function interface less
misleading.

Since 8d92fb2927 (dir: replace exponential algorithm with a linear one,
2020-04-01) traversing into a repository's directory tree when the
traversal began outside the repository's standard location has failed
because the encountered repository was identified as a nested foreign
repository.
Prior to this commit, the failure to traverse into a repository's
default worktree location was observable from a user's perspective under
either of the following conditions (there may be others):
1) Set the `core.worktree` location to a parent directory of the
default worktree; or
2) Use the `--git_dir` option while the working directory is outside
the repository's default worktree location
Under either of these conditions, symptoms of the failure to traverse
into the repository's default worktree location include the inability to
add files to the index or get a list of untracked files via ls-files.
This commit adds a check to determine whether a nested repository that
is encountered in recursing a path is actually `the_repository`. If so,
we simply treat the directory as if it doesn't contain a nested
repository.
The commit includes test-cases to reduce the likelihood of future
regressions.

Technically, the pointer difference `end - start` _could_ be negative,
and when cast to an (unsigned) `size_t` that would cause problems. In
this instance, the symptom is:
dir.c: In function 'git_url_basename':
dir.c:3087:13: error: 'memchr' specified bound [9223372036854775808, 0]
exceeds maximum object size 9223372036854775807
[-Werror=stringop-overread]
CC ewah/bitmap.o
3087 | if (memchr(start, '/', end - start) == NULL
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While it is a bit far-fetched to think that `end` (which is defined as
`repo + strlen(repo)`) and `start` (which starts at `repo` and never
steps beyond the NUL terminator) could result in such a negative
difference, GCC has no way of knowing that.
See also https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla//show_bug.cgi?id=85783.
Let's just add a safety check, primarily for GCC's benefit.

2016-04-15) and a2b26ffb1a8 (fsck: convert gitmodules url to URL
passed to curl, 2020-04-18) be thin wrappers for it.
As the latter of those notes the fsck version was copied from the
initial builtin/submodule--helper.c version.
Since the code added in a2b26ffb1a8 was doing really doing the same as
win32_is_dir_sep() added in 1cadad6f658 (git clone <url>
C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo' is working (again), 2018-12-15) let's move
the latter to git-compat-util.h is a is_xplatform_dir_sep(). We can
then call either it or the platform-specific is_dir_sep() from this
new function.
Let's likewise change code in various other places that was hardcoding
checks for "'/' || '\\'" with the new is_xplatform_dir_sep(). As can
be seen in those callers some of them still concern themselves with
':' (Mac OS classic?), but let's leave the question of whether that
should be consolidated for some other time.
As we expect to make wider use of the "native" case in the future,
define and use two starts_with_dot_{,dot_}slash_native() convenience
wrappers. This makes the diff in builtin/submodule--helper.c much
smaller.

Untracked cache was originally designed to only work with
"--untracked-files=normal", and is bypassed when
"--untracked-files=all" is requested, but this causes performance
issues for UI tooling that wants to see "all" on a frequent basis.
On the other hand, the conditions that altogether prevented
applicability to the "all" mode no longer seem to apply, after
several major refactors in recent years; this possibility was
discussed in
81153d02-8e7a-be59-e709-e90cd5906f3a@jeffhostetler.com and
CABPp-BFiwzzUgiTj_zu+vF5x20L0=1cf25cHwk7KZQj2YkVzXw@mail.gmail.com,
and somewhat confirmed experimentally by several users using a
version of this patch to use untracked cache with -uall for about a
year.
When 'git status' runs without using the untracked cache, on a large
repo, on windows, with fsmonitor, it can run very slowly. This can
make GUIs that need to use "-uall" (and therefore currently bypass
untracked cache) unusable when fsmonitor is enabled, on such large
repos.
To partially address this, align the supported directory flags for the
stored untracked cache data with the git config. If a user specifies
an '--untracked-files=' commandline parameter that does not align with
their 'status.showuntrackedfiles' config value, then the untracked
cache will be ignored - as it is for other unsupported situations like
when a pathspec is specified.
If the previously stored flags no longer match the current
configuration, but the currently-applicable flags do match the current
configuration, then discard the previously stored untracked cache
data.
For most users there will be no change in behavior. Users who need
'--untracked-files=all' to perform well will now have the option of
setting "status.showuntrackedfiles" to "all" for better / more
consistent performance.
Users who need '--untracked-files=all' to perform well for their
tooling AND prefer to avoid the verbosity of "all" when running
git status explicitly without options... are out of luck for now (no
change).
Users who have the "status.showuntrackedfiles" config set to "all"
and yet frequently explicitly call
'git status --untracked-files=normal' (and use the untracked cache)
are the only ones who will be disadvantaged by this change. Their
"--untracked-files=normal" calls will, after this change, no longer
use the untracked cache.

Prevent the repository root from being collapsed into a sparse directory by
treating an empty path as "inside the sparse-checkout". When collapsing a
sparse index (e.g. in 'git sparse-checkout reapply'), the root directory
typically could not become a sparse directory due to the presence of in-cone
root-level files and directories. However, if no such in-cone files or
directories were present, there was no explicit check signaling that the
"repository root path" (an empty string, in the case of
'convert_to_sparse(...)') was in-cone, and a sparse directory index entry
would be created from the repository root directory.
The documentation in Documentation/git-sparse-checkout.txt explicitly states
that the files in the root directory are expected to be in-cone for a
cone-mode sparse-checkout. Collapsing the root into a sparse directory entry
violates that assumption, as sparse directory entries are expected to be
outside the sparse cone and have SKIP_WORKTREE enabled. This invalid state
in turn causes issues with commands that interact with the index, e.g.
'git status'.
Treating an empty (root) path as in-cone prevents the creation of a root
sparse directory in 'convert_to_sparse(...)'. Because the repository root is
otherwise never compared with sparse patterns (in both cone-mode and
non-cone sparse-checkouts), the new check does not cause additional changes
to how sparse patterns are applied.

It is expected that an empty/unpopulated untracked cache structure can
be written to the index - by update-index, or by a "git status" call
that sees the untracked cache should be enabled and is not, but is
running with options that make the untracked cache non-applicable in
that run (eg a pathspec).
Currently, if that happens, then subsequent "git status" calls end up
populating the untracked cache, but not writing the index (not saving
their work) - so the performance outcome is almost identical to the
cache being altogether disabled.
This continues until the index gets written with the untracked cache
populated, for some *other* reason, such as a working tree change.
Detect the condition where an empty untracked cache exists in the
index and we will collect the list of untracked paths, and queue an
index write under that condition, so that the collected untracked
paths can be written out to the untracked cache extension in the
index.
This change depends on previous fixes to t7519 for the "ignore .git
changes when invalidating UNTR" test case to pass - before this fix,
the test never actually did anything as it was not set up correctly.

"{commit,tree,blob,tag}_type", or the result of a call to type_name(),
the parse_object() caller that would pass NULL is now using
stream_object_signature().

The GIT_FORCE_UNTRACKED_CACHE environment variable writes the untracked
cache more frequently than the core.untrackedCache config variable. This
is due to how read_directory() handles the creation of an untracked
cache.
Before this change, Git would not create the untracked cache extension
for an index that did not already have one. Users would need to run a
command such as 'git update-index --untracked-cache' before the index
would actually contain an untracked cache.
In particular, users noticed that the untracked cache would not appear
even with core.untrackedCache=true. Some users reported setting
GIT_FORCE_UNTRACKED_CACHE=1 in their engineering system environment to
ensure the untracked cache would be created.
The decision to not write the untracked cache without an environment
variable tracks back to fc9ecbeb9 (dir.c: don't flag the index as dirty
for changes to the untracked cache, 2018-02-05). The motivation of that
change is that writing the index is expensive, and if the untracked
cache is the only thing that needs to be written, then it is more
expensive than the benefit of the cache. However, this also means that
the untracked cache never gets populated, so the user who enabled it via
config does not actually get the extension until running 'git
update-index --untracked-cache' manually or using the environment
variable.
We have had a version of this change in the microsoft/git fork for a few
major releases now. It has been working well to get users into a good
state. Yes, that first index write is slow, but the remaining index
writes are much faster than they would be without this change.
