Change the "nr" and "alloc" members of "struct string_list" to use
"size_t" instead of "nr". On some platforms the size of an "unsigned
int" will be smaller than a "size_t", e.g. a 32 bit unsigned v.s. 64
bit unsigned. As "struct string_list" is a generic API we use in a lot
of places this might cause overflows.
As one example: code in "refs.c" keeps track of the number of refs
with a "size_t", and auxiliary code in builtin/remote.c in
get_ref_states() appends those to a "struct string_list".
While we're at it split the "nr" and "alloc" in string-list.h across
two lines, which is the case for most such struct member
declarations (e.g. in "strbuf.h" and "strvec.h").
Changing e.g. "int i" to "size_t i" in run_and_feed_hook() isn't
strictly necessary, and there are a lot more cases where we'll use a
local "int", "unsigned int" etc. variable derived from the "nr" in the
"struct string_list". But in that case as well as
add_wrapped_shortlog_msg() in builtin/shortlog.c we need to adjust the
printf format referring to "nr" anyway, so let's also change the other
variables referring to it.

merge-recursive would only report messages from inner merges when the
GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY was set to 5. Do the same for merge-ort.
Note that somewhat reverts 0d83d8240d ("merge-ort: mark conflict/warning
messages from inner merges as omittable", 2022-02-02) based on two
facts:
* This commit basically removes the showing of messages from inner
merges as well, at least by default. The only difference is that
users can request to get them back by turning up the verbosity.
* Messages from inner merges are specially annotated since 4a3d86e1bb
("merge-ort: make informational messages from recursive merges
clearer", 2022-02-17). The ability to distinguish them from outer
merge comments make them less problematic to include, and easier
for humans to parse.

Change the write_object_file() function to take an "enum object_type"
instead of a "const char *type". Its callers either passed
{commit,tree,blob,tag}_type and can pass the corresponding OBJ_* type
instead, or were hardcoding strings like "blob".
This avoids the back & forth fragility where the callers of
write_object_file() would have the enum type, and convert it
themselves via type_name(). We do have to now do that conversion
ourselves before calling write_object_file_prepare(), but those
codepaths will be similarly adjusted in subsequent commits.

The struct strmap paths member of merge_options_internal is perhaps the
most central data structure to all of merge-ort. Because all the paths
involved in the merge need to be kept until the merge is complete, this
"paths" data structure traditionally took responsibility for owning all
the allocated paths. When the merge is over, those paths were free()d
as part of free()ing this strmap.
In commit 6697ee01b5d3 (merge-ort: switch our strmaps over to using
memory pools, 2021-07-30), we changed the allocations for pathnames to
come from a memory pool. That meant the ownership changed slightly;
there were no individual free() calls to make, instead the memory pool
owned all those paths and they were free()d all at once.
Unfortunately unique_path() was written presuming the pre-memory-pool
model, and allocated a path on the heap and left it in the strmap for
later free()ing. Modify it to return a path allocated from the memory
pool instead.
Note that there's one instance -- in record_conflicted_index_entries()
-- where the returned string from unique_path() was only used very
temporarily and thus had been immediately free()'d. This codepath was
associated with an ugly skip-worktree workaround that has since been
better fixed by the in-flight en/present-despite-skipped topic. This
workaround probably makes sense to excise once that topic merges down,
but for now, just remove the immediate free() and allow the returned
string to be free()d when the memory pool is released.
This fixes the following memory leak as reported by valgrind:

detect_and_process_renames() detects renames on both sides of history
and then combines these into a single diff_queue_struct. The combined
diff_queue_struct needs to be able to hold the renames found on either
side, and since it knows the (maximum) size it needs, it pre-emptively
grows the array to the appropriate size:
ALLOC_GROW(combined.queue,
renames->pairs[1].nr + renames->pairs[2].nr,
combined.alloc);
It then collects the items from each side:
collect_renames(opt, &combined, MERGE_SIDE1, ...)
collect_renames(opt, &combined, MERGE_SIDE2, ...)
Note, though, that collect_renames() sometimes determines that some
pairs are unnecessary and does not include them in the combined array.
When it is done, detect_and_process_renames() frees this memory:
if (combined.nr) {
...
free(combined.queue);
}
The problem is that sometimes even when there are pairs, none of them
are necessary. Instead of checking combined.nr, just remove the
if-check; free() knows to skip NULL pointers. This change fixes the
following memory leak, as reported by valgrind:

This is another simple change with a long explanation...
merge-recursive and merge-ort are both based on the same recursive idea:
if there is more than one merge base, merge the merge bases (which may
require first merging the merge bases of the merges bases, etc.). The
depth of the inner merge is recorded via a variable called "call_depth",
which we'll bring up again later. Naturally, the inner merges
themselves can have conflicts and various messages generated about those
files.
merge-recursive immediately prints to stdout as it goes, at the risk of
printing multiple conflict notices for the same path separated far apart
from each other with many intervenining conflict notices for other paths
between them. And this is true even if there are no inner merges
involved. An example of this was given in [1] and apparently caused
some confusion:
CONFLICT (rename/add): Rename A->B in HEAD. B added in otherbranch
...dozens of conflicts for OTHER paths...
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflicts in B
In contrast, merge-ort collects messages and stores them by path so that
it can print them grouped by path. Thus, the same case handled by
merge-ort would have output of the form:
CONFLICT (rename/add): Rename A->B in HEAD. B added in otherbranch
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflicts in B
...dozens of conflicts for OTHER paths...
This is generally helpful, but does make a separate bug more
problematic. In particular, while merge-recursive might report the
following for a recursive merge:
Auto-merging dir.c
Auto-merging midx.c
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in midx.c
Auto-merging diff.c
Auto-merging dir.c
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in dir.c
merge-ort would instead report:
Auto-merging diff.c
Auto-merging dir.c
Auto-merging dir.c
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in dir.c
Auto-merging midx.c
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in midx.c
The fact that messages for the same file are together is probably
helpful in general, but with the indentation missing for the inner
merge it unfortunately serves to confuse. This probably would lead
users to wonder:
* Why is Git reporting that "dir.c" is being merged twice?
* If midx.c has conflicts, why do I not see any when I open up the
file and why are no conflicts shown in the index?
Fix this output confusion by changing the output to clearly
differentiate the messages for outer merges from the ones for inner
merges, changing the above output from merge-ort to:
Auto-merging diff.c
From inner merge: Auto-merging dir.c
Auto-merging dir.c
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in dir.c
From inner merge: Auto-merging midx.c
From inner merge: CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in midx.c
(Note: the number of spaces after the 'From inner merge:' is
2*call_depth).
One other thing to note here, that I didn't notice until typing up this
commit message, is that merge-recursive does not print any messages from
the inner merges by default; the extra verbosity has to be requested.
merge-ort currently has no verbosity controls and always prints these.
We may also want to change that, but for now, just make the output
clearer with these extra markings and indentation.

A recursive merge involves merging the merge bases of the two branches
being merged. Such an inner merge can itself generate conflict notices.
While such notices may be useful when initially trying to create a
merge, they seem to just be noise when investigating merges later with
--remerge-diff. (Especially when both sides of the outer merge resolved
the conflict the same way leading to no overall conflict.) Remove them.

messages to replace newlines with both a newline and a space. Add a new
flag to signal when we want these messages modified in such a fashion,
and use it in path_msg() to modify these messages this way. Also, allow

path_msg() has the ability to mark messages as omittable, designed for
remerge-diff where we'll instead be showing conflict messages as diff
headers for a subsequent diff. While all these messages are very useful
when trying to create a merge initially, early use with the
--remerge-diff feature (the only user of this omittable conflict message
capability), suggests that the particular messages marked in this commit
are just noise when trying to see what changes users made to create a
merge commit. Mark them as omittable.
Note that there were already a few messages marked as omittable in
merge-ort when doing a remerge-diff, because the development of
--remerge-diff preceded the upstreaming of merge-ort and I was trying to
ensure merge-ort could handle all the necessary requirements. See
commit c5a6f65527 ("merge-ort: add modify/delete handling and delayed
output processing", 2020-12-03) for the initial details. For some
examples of already-marked-as-omittable messages, see either
"Auto-merging <path>" or some of the submodule update hints. This
commit just adds two more messages that should also be omittable.

Instead of immediately printing ll-merge warnings to stderr, we save
them in our output strbuf. Besides allowing us to move these warnings
to a special file for --remerge-diff, this has two other benefits for
regular merges done by merge-ort:
* The deferral of messages ensures we can print all messages about
any given path together (merge-recursive was known to sometimes
intersperse messages about other paths, particularly when renames
were involved).
* The deferral of messages means we can avoid printing spurious
conflict messages when we just end up aborting due to local user
modifications in the way. (In contrast to merge-recursive.c which
prematurely checks for local modifications in the way via
unpack_trees() and gets the check wrong both in terms of false
positives and false negatives relative to renames, merge-ort does
not perform the local modifications in the way check until the
checkout() step after the full merge has been computed.)

Since some callers may want to send warning messages to somewhere other
than stdout/stderr, stop printing "warning: Cannot merge binary files"
from ll-merge and instead modify the return status of ll_merge() to
indicate when a merge of binary files has occurred. Message printing
probably does not belong in a "low-level merge" anyway.
This commit continues printing the message as-is, just from the callers
instead of within ll_merge(). Future changes will start handling the
message differently in the merge-ort codepath.
There was one special case here: the callers in rerere.c do NOT check
for and print such a message; since those code paths explicitly skip
over binary files, there is no reason to check for a return status of
LL_MERGE_BINARY_CONFLICT or print the related message.
Note that my methodology included first modifying ll_merge() to return
a struct, so that the compiler would catch all the callers for me and
ensure I had modified all of them. After modifying all of them, I then
changed the struct to an enum.

The documentation for merge_incore_recursive(), modelled after
merge_recursive(), notes that
merge_bases will be consumed (emptied) so make a copy if you need it
However, in merge_ort_internal() (which merge_incore_recursive() calls),
it runs
merged_merge_bases = pop_commit(&merge_bases);
...
for (iter = merge_bases; iter; iter = iter->next) {
...
}
In other words, it only consumes the *first* entry of merge_bases, and
the rest it iterates through. If it iterated through all of them, the
caller could be responsible for free'ing the memory. If it consumed all
of them, the current documentation would be correct and the callers
would need to do nothing. The current middle ground makes it impossible
for callers to avoid memory leaks, since any attempt to use the
merge_bases it passes in would result in a use-after-free.
It turns out this part of the code was copied from merge-recursive.c,
which has had the same bug for 15.5 years. However, since we are trying
to keep merge-recursive.c stable as we sunset it, let's just fix the
leak in in merge_ort_internal() by having it actually consume all the
elements of the merge_bases commit_list.
Testing this commit against t6404 (the first testcase specifically
about recursive merges) under valgrind shows that this patch fixes
the following leak:

In commit 8b09a900a1 ("merge-ort: restart merge with cached renames to
reduce process entry cost", 2021-07-16), we noted that in the merge-ort
steps of
collect_merge_info()
detect_and_process_renames()
process_entries()
that process_entries() was expensive, and we could often make it cheaper
by changing this to
collect_merge_info()
detect_and_process_renames()
<cache all the renames, and restart>
collect_merge_info()
detect_and_process_renames()
process_entries()
because the second collect_merge_info() would be cheaper (we could avoid
traversing into some directories), the second
detect_and_process_renames() would be free since we had already detected
all renames, and then process_entries() has far fewer entries to handle.
However, this was built on the assumption that the first
detect_and_process_renames() actually detected all potential renames.
If someone has merge.renameLimit set to some small value, that
assumption is violated which manifests later with the following message:
$ git -c merge.renameLimit=1 rebase upstream
...
git: merge-ort.c:546: clear_or_reinit_internal_opts: Assertion
`renames->cached_pairs_valid_side == 0' failed.
Turn off this cache-renames-and-restart whenever we cannot detect all
renames, and add a testcase that would have caught this problem.

file is involved in a rename/delete conflict BUT the file is unmodified
(either before or after renormalization), merge-ort was running into an
assertion failure. Prior to that commit (or if assertions were compiled
out), merge-ort would mis-merge instead, ignoring the rename/delete
conflict and just deleting the file.
Remove the assertions, fix the code appropriately, leave some good

Currently, every caller of unpack_trees() that wants to ensure ignored
files are overwritten by default needs to:
* allocate unpack_trees_options.dir
* flip the DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag in unpack_trees_options.dir->flags
* call setup_standard_excludes
AND then after the call to unpack_trees() needs to
* call dir_clear()
* deallocate unpack_trees_options.dir
That's a fair amount of boilerplate, and every caller uses identical
code. Make this easier by instead introducing a new boolean value where
the default value (0) does what we want so that new callers of
unpack_trees() automatically get the appropriate behavior. And move all
the handling of unpack_trees_options.dir into unpack_trees() itself.
While preserve_ignored = 0 is the behavior we feel is the appropriate
default, we defer fixing commands to use the appropriate default until a
later commit. So, this commit introduces several locations where we
manually set preserve_ignored=1. This makes it clear where code paths
were previously preserving ignored files when they should not have been;
a future commit will flip these to instead use a value of 0 to get the
behavior we want.

Merge conflicts happen often enough to want to avoid expanding a sparse
index when they happen, as long as those conflicts are within the
sparse-checkout cone. If a conflict exists outside of the
sparse-checkout cone, then we still need to expand before iterating over
the index entries. This is critical to do in advance because of how the
original_cache_nr is tracked to allow inserting and replacing cache
entries.
Iterate over the conflicted files and check if any paths are outside of
the sparse-checkout cone. If so, then expand the full index.
Add a test that demonstrates that we do not expand the index, even when
we hit a conflict within the sparse-checkout cone.

Allow 'git merge' to operate without expanding a sparse index, at least
not immediately. The index still will be expanded in a few cases:
1. If the merge strategy is 'recursive', then we enable
command_requires_full_index at the start of the merge_recursive()
method. We expect sparse-index users to also have the 'ort' strategy
enabled.
2. With the 'ort' strategy, if the merge results in a conflicted file,
then we expand the index before updating the working tree. The loop
that iterates over the worktree replaces index entries and tracks
'origintal_cache_nr' which can become completely wrong if the index
expands in the middle of the operation. This safety valve is
important before that loop starts. A later change will focus this
to only expand if we indeed have a conflict outside of the
sparse-checkout cone.
3. Other merge strategies are executed as a 'git merge-X' subcommand,
and those strategies are currently protected with the
'command_requires_full_index' guard.
Some test updates are required, including a mistaken 'git checkout -b'
that did not specify the base branch, causing merges to be fast-forward
merges.

Clean up a TODO in revision.h by removing the "submodule" field from
struct setup_revision_opt. This field is only used to specify the ref
store to use, so use rev_info->repo to determine the ref store instead.
The only users of this field are merge-ort.c and merge-recursive.c.
However, both these files specify the superproject as rev_info->repo and
the submodule as setup_revision_opt->submodule. In order to be able to
pass the submodule as rev_info->repo, all commits must be parsed with
the submodule explicitly specified; this patch does that as well. (An
incremental solution in which only some commits are parsed with explicit
submodule will not work, because if the same commit is parsed twice in
different repositories, there will be 2 heap-allocated object structs
corresponding to that commit, and any flag set by the revision walking
mechanism on one of them will not be reflected onto the other.)

Simplify code maintenance by removing the ability to toggle between
usage of memory pools and direct allocations. This allows us to also
remove paths_to_free since it was solely about bookkeeping to make sure
we freed the necessary paths, and allows us to remove some auxiliary

pool_alloc_filespec() was written so that the code when pool != NULL
mimicked the code from alloc_filespec(), which including allocating
enough extra space for the path and then copying it. However, the path
passed to pool_alloc_filespec() is always going to already be in the
same memory pool, so we may as well reuse it instead of copying it.

We want to be able to allocate filespecs and filepairs using a mem_pool.
However, filespec data will still remain outside the pool (perhaps in
the future we could plumb the pool through the various diff APIs to
allocate the filespec data too, but for now we are limiting the scope).
Add some extra functions to allocate these appropriately based on the
non-NULL-ness of opt->priv->pool, as well as some extra functions to
handle correctly deallocating the relevant parts of them. A future
commit will make use of these new functions.

Make the code more flexible so that it can handle both being run with or
without a memory pool by adding utility functions which will either call
xmalloc, xcalloc, xstrndup
or
mem_pool_alloc, mem_pool_calloc, mem_pool_strndup
depending on whether we have a non-NULL memory pool. A subsequent
commit will make use of these.
(We will actually be dropping these functions soon and just assuming we
always have a memory pool, but the flexibility was very useful during
development of merge-ort so I want to be able to restore it if needed.)

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.

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.
