Meet Soni 0d4ec33922 builtin/pack-refs: factor out core logic into a shared library
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.

Meet Soni 0bef41319c builtin/pack-refs: convert to use the generic refs_optimize() API
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.

Patrick Steinhardt 08b775864e config: move Git config parsing into "environment.c"
In "config.c" we host both the business logic to read and write config
files as well as the logic to parse specific Git-related variables. On
the one hand this is mixing concerns, but even more importantly it means
that we cannot easily remove the dependency on `the_repository` in our
config parsing logic.

Move the logic into "environment.c". This file is a grab bag of all
kinds of global state already, so it is quite a good fit. Furthermore,
it also hosts most of the global variables that we're parsing the config
values into, making this an even better fit.

Note that there is one hidden change: in `parse_fsync_components()` we
use an `int` to iterate through `ARRAY_SIZE(fsync_component_names)`. But
as -Wsign-compare warnings are enabled in this file this causes a
compiler warning. The issue is fixed by using a `size_t` instead.

This change allows us to drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE`
declaration.

Usman Akinyemi 72fe8bfac8 builtin/pack-refs: stop using `the_repository`
Remove the_repository global variable in favor of the repository
argument that gets passed in "builtin/pack-refs.c".

When `-h` is passed to the command outside a Git repository, the
`run_builtin()` will call the `cmd_pack_refs()` function with `repo` set
to NULL and then early in the function, `parse_options()` call will give
the options help and exit.

Patrick Steinhardt 47d72a74a7 diff.h: fix index used to loop through unsigned integer
The `struct diff_flags` structure is essentially an array of flags, all
of which have the same type. We can thus use `sizeof()` to iterate
through all of the flags, which we do in `diff_flags_or()`. But while
the statement returns an unsigned integer, we used a signed integer to
iterate through the flags, which generates a warning.

Fix this by using `size_t` for the index instead.

John Cai 03eae9afb4 builtin: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE from builtin.h
Instead of including USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE by default on every
builtin, remove it from builtin.h and add it to all the builtins that
include builtin.h (by definition, that means all builtins/*.c).

Also, remove the include statement for repository.h since it gets
brought in through builtin.h.

The next step will be to migrate each builtin
from having to use the_repository.

Patrick Steinhardt 6dcffc68f4 builtin/pack-refs: introduce new "--auto" flag
Calling git-pack-refs(1) will unconditionally cause it to pack all
requested refs regardless of the current state of the ref database. For
example:

  - With the "files" backend we will end up rewriting the complete
    "packed-refs" file even if only a single ref would require
    compaction.

  - With the "reftable" backend we will end up always compacting all
    tables into a single table.

This behaviour can be completely unnecessary depending on the backend
and is thus wasteful.

With the introduction of the `PACK_REFS_AUTO` flag in the preceding
commit we can improve this and let the backends decide for themselves
whether to pack refs in the first place. Expose this functionality via a
new "--auto" flag in git-pack-refs(1), which mirrors the same flag in
both git-gc(1) and git-maintenance(1).

Patrick Steinhardt a75dc71f37 builtin/pack-refs: release allocated memory
Some of the command line options in `cmd_pack_refs()` require us to
allocate memory. This memory is never released and thus leaking, but we
paper over this leak by declaring the respective variables as `static`
function-level variables, which is somewhat awkward.

Refactor the code to release the allocated memory and drop the `static`
declaration. While at it, remove the useless `flags` variable.

Patrick Steinhardt 35aeabd6c2 refs: remove `PACK_REFS_ALL` flag
The intent of the `PACK_REFS_ALL` flag is to ask the backend to compact
all refs instead of only a subset of them. Thus, this flag gets passed
down to `refs_pack_refs()` via `struct pack_refs_opts::flags`.

But starting with 4fe42f326e (pack-refs: teach pack-refs --include
option, 2023-05-12), the flag's semantics have changed. Instead of being
handled by the respective backends, this flag is now getting handled by
the callers of `refs_pack_refs()` which will add a single glob ("*") to
the list of refs-to-be-packed. Thus, the flag serves no purpose to the
ref backends anymore.

Remove the flag and replace it with a local variable.

John Cai 4fe42f326e pack-refs: teach pack-refs --include option
Allow users to be more selective over which refs to pack by adding an
--include option to git-pack-refs.

The existing options allow some measure of selectivity. By default
git-pack-refs packs all tags. --all can be used to include all refs,
and the previous commit added the ability to exclude certain refs with
--exclude.

While these knobs give the user some selection over which refs to pack,
it could be useful to give more control. For instance, a repository may
have a set of branches that are rarely updated and would benefit from
being packed. --include would allow the user to easily include a set of
branches to be packed while leaving everything else unpacked.

John Cai 826ae79fca pack-refs: teach --exclude option to exclude refs from being packed
At GitLab, we have a system that creates ephemeral internal refs that
don't live long before getting deleted. Having an option to exclude
certain refs from a packed-refs file allows these internal references to
be deleted much more efficiently.

Add an --exclude option to the pack-refs builtin, and use the ref
exclusions API to exclude certain refs from being packed into the final
packed-refs file

including gettext.h.  This made it more difficult to find which files
could remove a dependence on cache.h.  Make C files explicitly include
gettext.h if they are using it.

However, while compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-darwin.c should also gain an
include of gettext.h, it was left out to avoid conflicting with an

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 8c9e292dc0 doc txt & -h consistency: add missing options and labels
Fix various issues of SYNOPSIS and -h output syntax where:

 * Options such as --force were missing entirely
 * ...or the short option, such as -f

 * We said "opts" or "options", but could instead enumerate
   the (small) set of supported options

 * Options that were missing entirely (ls-remote's --sort=<key>)

   As we can specify "--sort" multiple times (it's backed by a
   string-list" it should really be "[(--sort=<key>)...]", which is
   what "git for-each-ref" lists it as, but let's leave that issue for
   a subsequent cleanup, and stop at making these consistent. Other
   "ref-filter.h" users share the same issue, e.g. "git-branch.txt".

 * For "verify-tag" and "verify-commit" we were missing the "--raw"
   option.

Elijah Newren 8e712ef6fc Honor core.precomposeUnicode in more places
On Mac's HFS where git sets core.precomposeUnicode to true automatically
by git init/clone, when a user creates a simple unicode refname (in NFC
format) such as españa:

  $ git branch españa

different commands would display the branch name differently.  For
example, git branch, git log --decorate, and git fast-export all used

  65 73 70 61 c3 b1 61  (or "espa\xc3\xb1a")

(NFC form) while show-ref would use

  65 73 70 61 6e cc 83 61  (or "espan\xcc\x83a")

(NFD form).  A stress test for git filter-repo was tripped up by this
inconsistency, though digging in I found that the problems could
compound; for example, if the user ran

  $ git pack-refs --all

and then tried to check out the branch, they would be met with:

  $ git checkout españa
  error: pathspec 'españa' did not match any file(s) known to git

  $ git checkout españa --
  fatal: invalid reference: españa

  $ git branch
    españa
  * master

Note that the user could run the `git branch` command first and copy and
paste the `españa` portion of the output and still see the same two
errors.  Also, if the user added --no-prune to the pack-refs command,
then they would see three branches: master, españa, and españa (those
last two are NFC vs. NFD forms, even if they render the same).

Further, if the user had the `españa` branch checked out before
running `git pack-refs --all`, the user would be greeted with (note
that I'm trimming trailing output with an ellipsis):

  $ git rev-parse HEAD
  fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path...

  $ git status
  On branch españa

  No commits yet...

Or worse, if the user didn't check this stuff first, running `git
commit` will create a new commit with all changes of all of history
being squashed into it.

In addition to pack-refs, one could also get into this state with
upload-pack or anything that calls either pack-refs or upload-pack (e.g.
gc or clone).

Add code in a few places (pack-refs, show-ref, upload-pack) to check and
honor the setting of core.precomposeUnicode to avoid these bugs.

	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
