In b0b910e052 (cat-file.c: add batch handling for submodules,
2025-06-02), we began handling submodule entries specially when batching
cat-file like so:
$ echo :sha1collisiondetection | git.compile cat-file --batch-check
855827c583bc30645ba427885caa40c5b81764d2 submodule
Commit b0b910e052 notes that submodules are handled differently than
non-existent objects, which print "<given-name> <type>", since there is
(a) no object to resolve the OID of in the first place, and as commit
b0b910e052 notes, (b) for submodules in particular, it is useful to know
what commit it points at without having to spawn another Git process.
That commit does so by calling report_object_status() and passing in
"oid_to_hex(&data->oid)" for the "obj_name" parameter. This is
unnecessary, however, since report_object_status() will do the same
automatically if given a NULL "obj_name" argument.
That behavior dates back to 6a951937ae (cat-file: add
--batch-all-objects option, 2015-06-22), so rely on that instead of
having the caller open-code that part of report_object_status().

git-format-patch(1) supports Git notes by showing them beneath the
patch/commit message, similar to git-log(1). The command also supports
showing those same notes ref names in the range diff output.
Note *the same* ref names; any Git notes options or configuration
variables need to be handed off to the range-diff machinery. This works
correctly in the case when the range diff is on the cover letter. But it
does not work correctly when the output is a single patch with an
embedded range diff.
Concretely, git-format-patch(1) needs to pass `--[no-]notes` options
on to the range-diff subprocess in `range-diff.c`. This is handled in
`builtin/log.c` by the local variable `log_arg` in the case of mul-
tiple commits, but not in the single commit case where there is no
cover letter and the range diff is embedded in the patch output; the
range diff is then made in `log-tree.c`, whither `log_arg` has not
been propagated. This means that the range-diff subprocess reverts
to its default behavior, which is to act like git-log(1) w.r.t. notes.
We need to fix this. But first lay the groundwork by converting
`log_arg` to a struct member; next we can simply use that member
in `log-tree.c` without having to thread it from `builtin/log.c`.
No functional changes.

Rename `other_arg` to `log_arg` in `range_diff_options` and
related places.
“Other argument” comes from bd361918 (range-diff: pass through --notes
to `git log`, 2019-11-20) which introduced Git notes handling to
git-range-diff(1) by passing that option on to git-log(1). And that kind
of name might be fine in a local context. However, it was initially
spread among multiple files, and is now[1] part of the
`range_diff_options` struct. It is, prima facie, difficult to guess what
“other” means, especially when just looking at the struct.
But with a little reading we find out that it is used for `--[no-]notes`
and `--diff-merges`, which are both passed on to git-log(1). We should
just rename it to reflect this role; `log_arg` suggests, along with the
`strvec` type, that it is used to pass extra arguments to git-log(1).

The previous commit converted callers of setup_revisions() with a strvec
to use the safer and easier _from_strvec() variant.
Let's now convert spots that don't directly have a strvec, but receive
an argc/argv pair that eventually comes from one. We'll instead pass the
strvec down to the point where we call setup_revisions().
That makes these functions slightly less flexible if they were to grow
other callers that don't use strvecs, but this rigidity is buying us
some safety. It is only safe to pass the free_removed_argv_elements
option to setup_revisions() if we know the elements of argv/argc are
allocated on the heap. That isn't communicated in the type system when
we are passed the bare elements. But if we get a strvec, we know that
the elements are allocated strings.
And at any rate, each of these modified functions has only a single
caller (that has a strvec), so the loss of flexibility is unlikely to
ever matter.

The previous commit introduced a wrapper to make using setup_revisions()
with a strvec easier and safer. It converted spots that were already
doing most of what the wrapper did.
Let's now convert spots where we were not setting up the
free_removed_argv_elements flag. As discussed in the previous commit,
this probably isn't fixing any bugs or leaks (since these sites wouldn't
trigger the re-shuffling of argv that causes them). This is mostly
future-proofing us against setup_revisions() becoming more aggressive
about its re-shuffling.

The setup_revisions() function was designed to take the argc/argv pair
from the operating system. But we sometimes construct our own argv using
a strvec and pass that in. There are a few gotchas that callers need to
deal with here:
1. You should always pass the free_removed_argv_elements option via
setup_revision_opt. Otherwise, entries may be leaked if
setup_revisions() re-shuffles options.
2. After setup_revisions() returns, the strvec state is odd. We get a
reduced argc from setup_revisions() telling us how many unknown
options were left in place. Entries after that in argv may be
retained, or may be NULL (depending on how the reshuffling
happened). But the strvec's "nr" field still represents the
original value, and some of the entries it thinks it is still
storing may be NULL. Callers must be careful with how they access
it.
Some callers deal with (1), but not all. In practice they are OK because
they do not pass any options that would cause setup_revisions() to
re-shuffle (namely unknown options which may be relayed from the user,
and the use of the "--" separator). But it's probably a good idea to
consistently pass this option anyway to future-proof ourselves against
the details of setup_revisions() changing.
No callers address (2), though I don't think there any visible bugs.
Most of them simply call strvec_clear() and never otherwise look at the
result. And in fact, if they naively set foo.nr to the argc returned by
setup_revisions(), that would cause leaks! Because setup_revisions()
does not free consumed options[1], we have to leave the "nr" field of
the strvec at its original value to find and free them during
strvec_clear().
So I don't think there are any bugs to fix here, but we can make things
safer and simpler for callers. Let's introduce a helper function that
sets the free_removed_argv_elements automatically and shrinks the strvec
to represent the retained options afterwards (taking care to free the
now-obsolete entries).
We'll start by converting all of the call-sites which use the
free_removed_argv_elements option. There should be no behavior change
for them, except that their "shrunken" entries are cleaned up
immediately, rather than waiting for a strvec_clear() call.
[1] Arguably setup_revisions() should be doing this step for us if we
told it to free removed options, but there are many existing callers
which will be broken if it did. Introducing this helper is a
possible first step towards that.

In "git stash show", we do a first pass of parsing our command line
options by splitting them into revision args and stash args. These are
stored in strvecs, and we pass the revision args to setup_revisions().
But setup_revisions() may modify the argv we pass it, causing us to leak
some of the entries. In particular, if it sees a "--" string, that will
be dropped from argv. This is the same as other cases addressed by
f92dbdbc6a (revisions API: don't leak memory on argv elements that need
free()-ing, 2022-08-02), and we should fix it the same way: by passing
the free_removed_argv_elements option to setup_revisions().
The added test here is run only with SANITIZE=leak, without checking its
output, because the behavior of stash with "--" is a little odd:
1. Running "git stash show" will show --stat output. But running "git
stash show --" will show --patch.
2. I'd expect a non-option after "--" to be treated as a pathspec, so:
git stash show -p 1 -- foo
would look treat "1" as a stash (a synonym for stash@{1}) and
restrict the resulting diff to "foo". But it doesn't. We split the
revision/stash args without any regard to "--". So in the example
above both "1" and "foo" are stashes. Which is an error, but also:
git stash show -- foo
treats "foo" as a stash, not a pathspec.
These are both oddities that we may want to address (or may not, if we
want to retain historical quirks). But they are well outside the scope
of this patch. So for now we'll just let the tests confirm we aren't
leaking without otherwise expecting any behavior. If we later address
either of those points and end up with another test that covers "stash
show --", we can drop this leak-only test.

With `git config get --type=color` the user asks us to parse a specific
configuration key and turn the value into an ANSI color escape sequence.
The printed string can then for example be used as part of shell scripts
to reuse the same colors as Git.
Right now though we set up the auto-pager, which means that the string
may be written to the pager instead of directly to the terminal. This
behaviour is problematic for two reasons:
- Color codes are meant for direct terminal output; writing them into
a pager does not seem like a sensible thing to do without additional
text.
- It is inconsistent with `git config --get-color`, which never uses a
pager, despite the fact that we claim `git config get --type=color`
to be a drop-in replacement in git-config(1).
Fix this by disabling the pager when outputting color sequences.

Our documentation for git-config(1) has a section where it explains how
to parse and use colors as Git would configure them. In order to get the
ANSI color escape sequence to reset the colors to normal we recommend
the following command:
$ git config get --type=color --default="reset" ""
This command is not supposed to parse any configuration keys. Instead,
it is expected to parse the "reset" default value and turn it into a
proper ANSI color escape sequence.
It was reported though [1] that this command doesn't work:
$ git config get --type=color --default="reset" ""
error: key does not contain a section:
This error was introduced in 4e51389000 (builtin/config: introduce "get"
subcommand, 2024-05-06), where we introduced the "get" subcommand to
retrieve configuration values. The preimage of that commit used `git
config --get-color "" "reset"` instead, which still works.
This use case is really quite specific to parsing colors, as it wouldn't
make sense to give git-config(1) a default value and an empty config key
only to return that default value unmodified. But with `--type=color` we
don't return the value directly; we instead parse the value into an ANSI
escape sequence.
As such, we can easily special-case this one use case:
- If the provided config key is empty;
- the user is asking for a color code; and
- the user has provided a default value,
then we call `get_color()` directly. Do so to make the documented
command work as expected.

The implementation of `git pack-refs` is monolithic within
`cmd_pack_refs()`, making it impossible to share its logic with other
commands. To enable code reuse for the upcoming `git refs optimize`
subcommand, refactor the core logic into a shared helper function.
Split the original `builtin/pack-refs.c` file into two parts:
- A new shared library file, `pack-refs.c`, which contains the
core option parsing and packing logic in a new `pack_refs_core()`
helper function.
- The original `builtin/pack-refs.c`, which is now a thin wrapper
responsible only for defining the `git pack-refs` command and
calling the shared helper.
A new `pack-refs.h` header is also introduced to define the public
interface for this shared logic.

The `git pack-refs` command behaves generically, triggering a pack for
the 'files' backend and a compaction for the 'reftable' backend.
However, the name of the command and its corresponding API is
conceptually tied to the 'files' backend implementation.
To create a cleaner, more generic interface, refactor `git pack-refs` to
use the new `refs_optimize()` API. "Optimize" is a better semantic term
for this generic action.
This change allows `git pack-refs` to act as a backend-agnostic frontend
for reference optimization, and paves the way for the new `git refs
optimize` command to do the same.

the input `struct rev_info` to override some flags. One flag is
`recursive`, which is always set to 1. This has been the case since the
inception of this function in af3feefa1d (diff-tree -c: show a merge
commit a bit more sensibly., 2006-01-24).
This behavior is incompatible with git-last-modified(1), when called
non-recursive (which is the default).
The last-modified machinery uses a hashmap for all the paths it wants to
get the last-modified commit for. Through log_tree_commit() the callback
mark_path() is called. The diff machinery uses diff_tree_combined()
internally, and due to it's recursive behavior the callback receives
entries inside subtrees, but not the subtree entries themselves. So a
directory is never expelled from the hashmap, and the BUG() statement
gets hit.
Because there are many callers calling into diff_tree_combined(), both
directly and indirectly, we cannot simply change it's behavior.
Instead, add a flag `no_recursive_diff_tree_combined` which supresses
the behavior of diff_tree_combined() to override `recursive` and set
this flag in builtin/last-modified.c.

A '--signed-commits=<mode>' option is already available when using
`git fast-export` to decide what should be done at export time about
commit signatures. At import time though, there is no option, or
other way, in `git fast-import` to decide about commit signatures.
To remediate that, let's add a '--signed-commits=<mode>' option to
`git fast-import` too.
For now the supported <mode>s are the same as those supported by
`git fast-export`.
The code responsible for consuming a signature is refactored into
the import_one_signature() and discard_one_signature() functions,
which makes it easier to follow the logic and add new modes in the
future.
In the 'strip' and 'warn-strip' modes, we deliberately use
discard_one_signature() to discard the signature without parsing it.
This ensures that even malformed signatures, which would cause the
parser to fail, can be successfully stripped from a commit.

The definition of 'enum sign_mode' as well as its parsing code are in
"builtin/fast-export.c". This was fine because `git fast-export` was the
only command with '--signed-tags=<mode>' or '--signed-commits=<mode>'
options.
In a following commit, we are going to add a similar option to `git
fast-import`, which will be simpler, easier and cleaner if we can reuse
the 'enum sign_mode' defintion and parsing code.
So let's move that definition and parsing code from
"builtin/fast-export.c" to "gpg-interface.{c,h}".
While at it, let's fix a small indentation issue with the arguments of
parse_opt_sign_mode().

During the 'prepare' phase of a 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 proactive 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.

The "git config --get-colorbool foo.bar" command not only digs in the
config to find the value of foo.bar, it evaluates the result using
want_color() to check the tty-ness of stdout.
But it stores the bool result of want_color() in the same git_colorbool
that we found in the config. This works in practice because the
git_colorbool enum is a superset of the bool values. But it is an oddity
from a type system perspective.
Let's instead store the result in a separate bool and use that.

We traditionally used "int" to store and pass around the values defined
by "enum git_colorbool" (which were originally just #define macros).
Using an int doesn't produce incorrect results, but using the actual
enum makes the intent of the code more clear.
It would be nice if the compiler could catch cases where we used the
enum and an int interchangeably, since it's very easy to accidentally
check the boolean true/false of a colorbool like:
if (branch_use_color)
This is wrong because GIT_COLOR_UNKNOWN and GIT_COLOR_AUTO evaluate to
true in C, even though we may ultimately decide not to use color. But C
is pretty happy to convert between ints and enums (even with various
-Wenum-* warnings). So this sadly doesn't protect us from such mistakes,
but it hopefully does make the code easier to read.
