Give the user a list of suggestions for what to do when they run a
deprecated command.
The first order of action will be to check the breaking changes
document;[1] this short error message says nothing about why this
command is deprecated, and in any case going into any kind of detail
might overwhelm the user.
Then they can find out if this has been discussed on the mailing list.
Then users who e.g. are using git-whatchanged(1) can learn that this is
arguably a plug-in replacement:
git log <opts> --raw --no-merges
Finally they are invited to send an email to the mailing list.
Also drop the “please add” part in favor of just using the “refusing”
die-message; these two would have been right after each other in this

Also drop “Thanks” since it now would require a new paragraph.

git-whatchanged(1) is deprecated and you need to pass
`--i-still-use-this` in order to force it to work as before.
There are two affected users, or usages:
1. people who use the command in scripts; and
2. people who are used to using it interactively.
For (1) the replacement is straightforward.[1] But people in (2) might
like the name or be really used to typing it.[3]
An obvious first thought is to suggest aliasing `whatchanged` to the
git-log(1) equivalent.[1] But this doesn’t work and is awkward since you
cannot shadow builtins via aliases.
Now you are left in an uncomfortable limbo; your alias won’t work until
the command is removed for good.
Let’s lift this limitation by allowing *deprecated* builtins to be
shadowed by aliases.
The only observed demand for aliasing has been for git-whatchanged(1),
not for git-pack-redundant(1). But let’s be consistent and treat all
deprecated commands the same.

We have two different functions to retrieve packfiles for a packfile
store:
- `get_packed_git()` returns the list of packfiles after having called
`prepare_packed_git()`.
- `get_all_packs()` calls `prepare_packed_git()`, as well, but also
calls `prepare_midx_pack()` for each pack.
Based on the naming alone one might think that `get_all_packs()` would
return more packs than `get_packed_git()`. But that's not the case: both
functions end up returning the exact same list of packfiles. The real
difference between those functions is that `get_all_packs()` also loads
the info of whether or not a packfile is part of a multi-pack index.
Preparing this extra information also shouldn't be significantly more
expensive:
- We have already loaded all packfiles via `prepare_packed_git_one()`.
So given that multi-pack indices may only refer to packfiles in the
same object directory we know that we already loaded each packfile.
- The multi-pack index was prepared via `packfile_store_prepare()`
already, which calls `prepare_multi_pack_index_one()`.
- So all that remains to be done is to look up the index of the pack
in its multi-pack index so that we can store that info in both the
pack itself and the MIDX.
So it is somewhat confusing to readers that one of these two functions
claims to load "all" packfiles while the other one doesn't, even though
the ultimate difference is way more nuanced.
Convert all of these sites to use `get_all_packs()` instead and remove
`get_packed_git()`. There doesn't seem to be a good reason to discern
these two functions.

The `get_multi_pack_index()` function is declared and implemented in the
packfile subsystem, even though it really belongs into the multi-pack
index subsystem. The reason for this is likely that it needs to call
`packfile_store_prepare()`, which is not exposed by the packfile system.
In a subsequent commit we're about to add another caller outside of the
packfile system though, so we'll have to expose the function anyway.

Information about a object database's packfiles is currently distributed
across two different structures:
- `struct packed_git` contains the `next` pointer as well as the
`mru_head`, both of which serve to store the list of packfiles.
- `struct object_database` contains several fields that relate to the
packfiles.
So we don't really have a central data structure that tracks our
packfiles, and consequently responsibilities aren't always clear cut.
A consequence for the upcoming pluggable object databases is that this
makes it very hard to move management of packfiles from the object
database level down into the object database source.
Introduce a new `struct packfile_store` which is about to become the
single source of truth for managing packfiles. Right now this data
structure doesn't yet contain anything, but in subsequent patches we
will move all data structures that relate to packfiles and that are
currently contained in `struct object_database` into this new home.
Note that this is only a first step: most importantly, we won't (yet)
move the `struct packed_git::next` pointer around. This will happen in a
subsequent patch series though so that `struct packed_git` will really
only host information about the specific packfile it represents.
Further note that the new structure still sits at the wrong level at the
end of this patch series: as mentioned, it should eventually sit at the
level of the object database source, not at the object database level.
But introducing the packfile store now already makes it way easier to
eventually push down the now-selfcontained data structure by one level.

- len(full_gitdir) < len(name).

Encoding submodule names increases their name size, so there is an
increased risk to hit the max filename length in the gitdir path.
(the likelihood is still rather small, so it's an acceptable risk)
This gitdir file-name-too-long corner case can be be addressed in
multiple ways, including sharding or trimming, however for now, just
add the portable logic (suggested by Peff) to detect the corner case
then error out to avoid comitting to a specific policy (or policies).
In the future, instead of throwing an error (which we do now anyway
without submodule encoding), we could maybe let the user specify via
configs how to address this case, eg pick trimming or sharding.

This encodes submodule gitdir names to avoid colisions like nested gitdirs
due to names like "foo" and "foo/bar".
A custom encoding can become unnecesarily complex, while url-encoding is
relatively well-known, however it needs some extending to support case
insensitive filesystems and quirks like Windows reserving "COM1" names.
Hence why I opted to encode A as _a, B as _b and so on.
Unfortunately encoding A -> _a (...) is not enough to fix the reserved
Windows file names (eg COM1) because workdirs still use the name COM1
even though gitdirs paths encoded, so future work will be needed to
fully address that case (or just use a different name).
This affected tests are fixed and a TODO is added to cleanup a hack /
short-circuit in validate_submodule_git_dir().
A further commit will add more tests to exercise these codepaths.

The previous commit, added the necessary validation and checks for F/D
conflicts in the files backend when working on case insensitive systems.
There is still a possibility for D/F conflicts. This is a different from
the F/D since for F/D conflicts, there would not be a conflict during
the lock creation phase:
refs/heads/foo.lock
refs/heads/foo/bar.lock
However there would be a conflict when the locks are committed, since we
cannot have 'refs/heads/foo/bar' and 'refs/heads/foo'. These kinds of
conflicts are checked and resolved in
`refs_verify_refnames_available()`, so the previous commit ensured that
for case-insensitive filesystems, we would lowercase the inputs to that
function.
For D/F conflicts, there is a conflict during the lock creation phase
itself:
refs/heads/foo/bar.lock
refs/heads/foo.lock
As in `lock_raw_ref()` after creating the lock, we also check for D/F
conflicts. To fix this, simply categorize the error as a name conflict.
Also remove this reference from the list of valid refnames for
availability checks.
By categorizing the error and removing it from the list of valid
references, batched updates now knows to reject such reference updates
and apply the other reference updates.
Fix a small typo in `ref_transaction_maybe_set_rejected()` while here.

When using the files-backend on case-insensitive filesystems, there is
possibility of hitting F/D conflicts when creating references within a
single transaction, such as:
- 'refs/heads/foo'
- 'refs/heads/Foo/bar'
Ideally such conflicts are caught in `refs_verify_refnames_available()`
which is responsible for checking F/D conflicts within a given
transaction. This utility function is shared across the reference
backends. As such, it doesn't consider the issues of using a
case-insensitive file system, which only affects the files-backend.
While one solution would be to make the function aware of such issues,
this feels like leaking implementation details of file-backend specific
issues into the utility function. So opt for the more simpler option, of
lowercasing all references sent to this function when on a
case-insensitive filesystem and operating on the files-backend.
To do this, simply use a `struct strbuf` to convert the refname to a
lower case and append it to the list of refnames to be checked. Since we
use a `struct strbuf` and the memory is cleared right after, make sure
that the string list duplicates all provided string.
Without this change, the user would simply be left with a repository
with '.lock' files which were created in the 'prepare' phase of the
transaction, as the 'commit' phase would simply abort and not do the
necessary cleanup.

When fetching references into a repository, if a lock for a particular

'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_GENERIC'. This causes the entire set of batched
updates to fail.
Instead, return a 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_CREATE_EXISTS' error. This
allows batched updates to reject the individual update which conflicts
with the existing file, while updating the rest of the references.

During the 'prepare' phase of reference transaction in the files
backend, we create the lock files for references to be created. When
using batched updates on case-insensitive filesystems, the entire
batched updates would be aborted if there are conflicting names such as:
refs/heads/Foo
refs/heads/foo
This affects all commands which were migrated to use batched updates in
Git 2.51, including 'git-fetch(1)' and 'git-receive-pack(1)'. Before
that, reference updates would be applied serially with one transaction
used per update. When users fetched multiple references on
case-insensitive systems, subsequent references would simply overwrite
any earlier references. So when fetching:
refs/heads/foo: 5f34ec0bfeac225b1c854340257a65b106f70ea6
refs/heads/Foo: ec3053b0977e83d9b67fc32c4527a117953994f3
refs/heads/sample: 2eefd1150e06d8fca1ddfa684dec016f36bf4e56
The user would simply end up with:
refs/heads/foo: ec3053b0977e83d9b67fc32c4527a117953994f3
refs/heads/sample: 2eefd1150e06d8fca1ddfa684dec016f36bf4e56
This is buggy behavior since the user is never informed about the
overrides performed and missing references. Nevertheless, the user is
left with a working repository with a subset of the references. Since
Git 2.51, in such situations fetches would simply fail without updating
any references. Which is also buggy behavior and worse off since the
user is left without any references.
The error is triggered in `lock_raw_ref()` where the files backend
attempts to create a lock file. When a lock file already exists the
function returns a 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_GENERIC'. When this happens,
the entire batched updates, not individual operation, is aborted as if
it were in a transaction.
Change this to return 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_CASE_CONFLICT' instead to
aid the batched update mechanism to simply reject such errors. The
change only affects batched updates since batched updates will reject
individual updates with non-generic errors. So specifically this would
only affect:
1. git fetch
2. git receive-pack
3. git update-ref --batch-updates
This bubbles the error type up to `files_transaction_prepare()` which
tries to lock each reference update. So if the locking fails, we check
if the rejection type can be ignored, which is done by calling
`ref_transaction_maybe_set_rejected()`.
As the error type is now 'REF_TRANSACTION_ERROR_CASE_CONFLICT',
the specific reference update would simply be rejected, while other
updates in the transaction would continue to be applied. This allows
partial application of references in case-insensitive filesystems when
fetching colliding references.
While the earlier implementation allowed the last reference to be
applied overriding the initial references, this change would allow the
first reference to be applied while rejecting consequent collisions.
This should be an okay compromise since with the files backend, there is
no scenario possible where we would retain all colliding references.
Let's also be more pro-active and notify users on case-insensitive
filesystems about such problems by providing a brief about the issue
while also recommending using the reftable backend, which doesn't have
the same issue.

Color options like color.interactive and color.diff should fall back to
the value of color.ui if they aren't set. In add-interactive, we check
the specific options (e.g., color.diff) via repo_config_get_value(),
which does not depend on the main command having loaded any color config
via the git_config() callback mechanism.
But then we call want_color() on the result; if our specific config is
unset then that function uses the value of git_use_color_default. That
variable is typically set from color.ui by the git_color_config()
callback, which is called by the main command in its own git_config()
callback function.
This works fine for "add -p", whose add_config() callback calls into
git_color_config(). But it doesn't work for other commands like
"checkout -p", which is otherwise unaware of color at all. People tend
not to notice because the default is "auto", and that's what they'd set
color.ui to as well. But something like:
git -c color.ui=false checkout -p
should disable color, and it doesn't.
This regression goes back to 0527ccb1b5 (add -i: default to the built-in
implementation, 2021-11-30). In the perl version we got the color config
from "git config --get-colorbool", which did the full lookup for us.
The obvious fix is for git-checkout to add a call to git_color_config()
to its own config callback. But we'd have to do so for every command
with this problem, which is error-prone. Let's see if we can fix it more
centrally.
It is tempting to teach want_color() to look up the value of
repo_config_get_value("color.ui") itself. But I think that would have
disastrous consequences. Plumbing commands, especially older ones, avoid
porcelain config like "color.*" by simply not parsing it in their config
callbacks. Looking up the value of color.ui under the hood would
undermine that.
Instead, let's do that lookup in the add-interactive setup code. We're
already demand-loading other color config there, which is probably fine
(even in a plumbing command like "git reset", the interactive mode is
inherently porcelain-ish). That catches all commands that use the
interactive code, whether they were calling git_color_config()
themselves or not.

The old perl git-add--interactive.perl script used the color.diff config
option to decide whether to color diffs (and if not set, it fell back to
the value of color.ui via git-config's --get-colorbool option). When we
switched to the builtin version, this was lost: we respect only
color.ui. So for example:
git -c color.diff=false add -p
would color the diff, even when it should not.
The culprit is this line in add-interactive.c's parse_diff():
if (want_color_fd(1, -1))
That "-1" means "no config has been set", which causes it to fall back
to the color.ui setting. We should instead be passing the value of
color.diff. But the problem is that we never even parse that config
option!
Instead the builtin interactive code parses only the value of
color.interactive, which is used for prompts and other messages. One
could perhaps argue that this should cover interactive diff coloring,
too, but historically it did not. The perl script treated
color.interactive and color.diff separately. So we should grab the
values for both, keeping separate fields in our add_i_state variable,
rather than a single use_color field.
We also load individual color slots (e.g., color.interactive.prompt),
leaving them as the empty string when color is disabled. This happens
via the init_color() helper in add-interactive, which checks that
use_color field. Now that there are two such fields, we need to pass the
appropriate one for each color.
The colors are mostly easy to divide up; color.interactive.* follows
color.interactive, and color.diff.* follows color.diff. But the "reset"
color is tricky. It is used for both types of coloring, but the two can
be configured independently. So we introduce two separate reset colors,
and use each in the appropriate spot.
There are two new tests. The first enables interactive prompt colors but
disables color.diff. We should see a colored prompt but not a colored
diff, showing that we are now respecting color.diff (and not
color.interactive or color.ui).
The second does the opposite. We disable color.interactive but turn on
color.diff with a custom fragment color. When we split a hunk, the
interactive code has to re-color the hunk header, which lets us check
that we correctly loaded the color.diff.frag config based on color.diff,
not color.interactive.

After a partial stash, we may clear out the working tree by capturing
the output of diff-tree and piping it into git-apply (and likewise we
may use diff-index to restore the index). So we most definitely do not
want color diff output from that diff-tree process. And it normally
would not produce any, since its stdout is not going to a tty, and the
default value of color.ui is "auto".
However, if GIT_PAGER_IN_USE is set in the environment, that overrides
the tty check, and we'll produce a colorized diff that chokes git-apply:
$ echo y | GIT_PAGER_IN_USE=1 git stash -p
[...]

Cannot remove worktree changes
Setting this variable is a relatively silly thing to do, and not
something most users would run into. But we sometimes do it in our tests
to stimulate color. And it is a user-visible bug, so let's fix it rather
than work around it in the tests.
The root issue here is that diff-tree (and other diff plumbing) should
probably not ever produce color by default. It does so not by parsing
color.ui, but because of the baked-in "auto" default from 4c7f1819b3
(make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10). But changing that is
risky; we've had discussions back and forth on the topic over the years.
E.g.:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/86D0A377-8AFD-460D-A90E-6327C6934DFC@gmail.com/.
So let's accept that as the status quo for now and protect ourselves by
passing --no-color to the child processes. This is the same thing we did
for add-interactive itself in 1c6ffb546b (add--interactive.perl: specify
--no-color explicitly, 2020-09-07).

Previous commits replaced some strbuf_split*() calls with calls to
string_list_split*() in "promisor-remote.c".
For consistency, let's also replace the strbuf_split_str() call in
mark_remotes_as_accepted() with a call to string_list_split(), as we
don't need the splitted strings to be managed by a `struct strbuf`.
Using the lighter-weight `string_list` API is enough for our needs.
While at it let's remove a useless call to `strbuf_strip_suffix()`.

A previous commit allowed a server to pass additional fields through
the "promisor-remote" protocol capability after the "name" and "url"
fields, specifically the "partialCloneFilter" and "token" fields.
Let's make it possible for a client to check if these fields match
what it expects before accepting a promisor remote.
We allow this by introducing a new "promisor.checkFields"
configuration variable. It should contain a comma or space separated
list of fields that will be checked.
By limiting the protocol to specific well-defined fields, we ensure
both server and client have a shared understanding of field
semantics and usage.

A previous commit introduced a new parse_one_advertised_remote()
function that takes a `const char *` argument. This function is called
from filter_promisor_remote() and parses all the fields for one remote.
This means that in filter_promisor_remote() we no longer need to split
the remote information that will be passed to
parse_one_advertised_remote() into an array of relatively heavy and
complex `struct strbuf`.
To use something lighter, let's then replace strbuf_split_str() with
string_list_split() in filter_promisor_remote() to parse the remote
information that is passed to parse_one_advertised_remote().
