The git worktree repair command failed to rewrite the .git file of
a working tree from a relative path to an absolute path when the
command was run in the working tree itself. The
read_gitfile_gently() function was modified to also return whether
the path originally recorded in the file was absolute, and this new

Toon Claes 354c736978 replay: offer an option to linearize the commit topology
One of the stated goals of git-replay(1) is to allow implementing the
git-rebase(1) functionality on the server side.

The default mode of git-rebase(1) is to act as if `--no-rebase-merges`
was given. This mode drops merge commits instead of replaying them, and
linearizes the history into a sequence of regular (single-parent)
commits.

Add option `--linearize` to git-replay(1) to do the same. Each replayed
commit is stacked on top of the previously replayed one. When a merge is
encountered, the commits reachable from all of its sides are replayed
into the single line and the merge itself is dropped.

If a ref was pointing to a merge commit, that ref is updated to the
merge's last replayed ancestor.

git-replay(1) accepts multiple branches, for example:

    $ git replay --onto main topic1 topic2

Without `--linearize` this replays 'topic1' and 'topic2' onto 'main'
(keeping shared portions of history shared and divergent parts
divergent) and updates both refs.

Due to current implementation limitations, replaying multiple branches
with `--linearize` is disallowed to avoid concatenating unrelated
histories into a single line. For the same reason disallow the use of
`--contained` with `--linearize`.

Users who want to linearize multiple branches are advised to do this in
separate git-replay(1) invocations. Linearizing multiple branches at
once might be added later.

Note that `--linearize` is not modeled after git-rebase(1)'s
`--rebase-merges[=<mode>]` interface. Recreating merges, by preserving
their topology, is a distinct operation that would be a separate mode.
`--linearize` only drops merges and replays commits linearly. So
git-replay(1) uses its own option rather than reusing that interface.

Toon Claes 446099ef7c replay: resolve the replay base outside pick_regular_commit()
Depending on what gets passed into the function pick_regular_commit(),
it decides the new base for the replayed commit. It first tries to find
the replayed results of `pickme`'s parent in the `replayed_commits` map.
If not found, it falls back to `onto`.

When using git-replay(1) with --onto, the fallback is the revision
passed in with this option, but when using --revert, the fallback is
`last_commit`.

It's rather confusing the base is decided partly inside
pick_regular_commit() and partly by its caller.

Move the base selection completely into the caller: replay_revisions().
This bundles all the logic of deciding on the base together. Also, this
reduces the number of parameters of pick_regular_commit(), making its
interface cleaner.

This refactoring doesn't bring any behavior changes.

Yoichi NAKAYAMA 53d330c360 worktree repair: detect relative path in .git file correctly
Given a state in which the cross-references between the worktree and
the repository (specifically worktree/id/gitdir in the main repository
and the .git file in the worktree) are recorded using absolute paths,
setting 'worktree.useRelativePaths=true' and running 'git worktree
repair' within the main worktree converts them to relative paths.

Conversely, given a state in which the cross-references are recorded
using relative paths, one would expect that setting
'worktree.useRelativePaths=false' and running 'git worktree repair'
would convert them to absolute paths. However, they remain as relative
paths.

This is because we incorrectly use read_gitfile_gently(), which always
returns an absolute path. To fix this, introduce read_gitfile_raw(),
which reads the path from the .git file without resolving it to an
absolute path.

Because read_gitfile_raw() does not validate the path with
is_git_directory(), repair_gitfile() performs this validation to
preserve the existing behavior.

Yoichi NAKAYAMA b70101c224 worktree add: treat multiple matches with --guess-remote as an error
When 'git worktree add <path>' is invoked without <commit-ish> and
with the --guess-remote option (or when worktree.guessRemote is set to
true), it tries to find a remote-tracking branch matching the basename
of <path>.

Currently, the behavior when multiple matches are found is the same as
when no match is found: it falls back to creating a branch from
HEAD. This has been the behavior since 71d6682d8c (worktree: add
--guess-remote option to add subcommand, 2017-11-29), when the option
was first introduced.

However, if the specified <path> matches any remote-tracking branch,
we infer that the user intended to use one of the remote-tracking
branches as the start-point rather than HEAD. So we abort the creation
of the branch and worktree when there are multiple matches, and
instruct the user to choose the start-point.

Yoichi NAKAYAMA 85489606d8 worktree add: improve message for ambiguous remote branch name
When the user runs 'git worktree add ../foo-dir bar-topic' without
specifying a remote, and there is no local branch named bar-topic, we
try to guess which remote branch bar-topic refers to, then create a
new branch named bar-topic that tracks the remote branch.

If multiple remotes have a branch named bar-topic, we silently gave
up, leaving the variable 'branch' intact.  We then entered the
conditional clause 'if (!opts.orphan &&
!lookup_commit_reference_by_name(branch))' and triggered an "invalid
reference" error.  This error message did not provide enough
information to resolve the ambiguity.

When multiple matching branches are found, display a hint and a
descriptive error message and die immediately.

a single remote.

To make it easier to resolve the ambiguity, provide the names of the
matching remotes for the specified branch name.

names to be exposed to the caller.

Junio C Hamano fcc8c931b5 Merge branch 'js/coverity-unchecked-returns-fix'
A handful of code paths have been corrected to check return values
from functions like curl_easy_duphandle(), deflateInit(), lseek(),
dup(), and strbuf_getline_lf(), resolving several Coverity warnings
about unchecked returns.

* js/coverity-unchecked-returns-fix:
  bisect: handle dup() failure when redirecting stdout
  bisect: check get_terms return at all call sites
  bisect: check strbuf_getline_lf return when reading terms
  transport-helper: warn when export-marks file cannot be finalized
  transport-helper: check dup() return in get_exporter
  compat/pread: check initial lseek for errors
  last-modified: handle repo_parse_commit() failures

  reftable/block: check deflateInit() return value

Karthik Nayak 976644c380 reftable/stack: avoid reloading the stack when already locked
When making modifications to the reftable stack, the stack obtains a
lock to the list file and removes the lock after the commit phase. Since
most operations reload the stack to ensure we have the latest state, any
branched operation during the locked phase could trigger a state reload.

To prevent data loss due to concurrent writes, state reload is necessary
right after obtaining the lock. But any reloads after that are just a
no-op. Now that the struct has access to the lock file status, simply
skip reloading if the lock is present.

Benchmarking with a fixed, non-symbolic target OID in the 'refs/tags/'
namespace (since it triggers a stack reload when checking if reflog
exists for the given tag name), shows a consistent 15-20% improvement
with these patches:

  refcount   master     patch     speedup
  --------   -------    -------   -------
  2,000       18.5 ms    16.6 ms   1.11x
  20,000     120.7 ms   102.8 ms   1.17x
  50,000     296.5 ms   247.1 ms   1.20x

We can also see the improvements in the number of syscall counts. On
master, the number of calls to `newfstatat()` grows linearly with the
number of refs created. With this patch, the number is now a constant:

  refcount   master   patch
  --------   ------   ------
  1,000      1,059       55
  5,000      5,059       55
  10,000     10,059      55
  20,000     20,059      55
