When copying a ref with the reftable backend we also copy the
corresponding log records. When seeking the first log record that we're
about to copy fails though we directly return from `write_copy_table()`
without doing any cleanup, leaking several allocated data structures.
Fix this by exiting via our common cleanup logic instead.

Due to scalability issues, Shawn Pearce has originally proposed a new
"reftable" format more than six years ago [1]. Initially, this new
format was implemented in JGit with promising results. Around two years
ago, we have then added the "reftable" library to the Git codebase via
a4bbd13be3 (Merge branch 'hn/reftable', 2021-12-15). With this we have
landed all the low-level code to read and write reftables. Notably
missing though was the integration of this low-level code into the Git
code base in the form of a new ref backend that ties all of this
together.
This gap is now finally closed by introducing a new "reftable" backend
into the Git codebase. This new backend promises to bring some notable
improvements to Git repositories:
- It becomes possible to do truly atomic writes where either all refs
are committed to disk or none are. This was not possible with the
"files" backend because ref updates were split across multiple loose
files.
- The disk space required to store many refs is reduced, both compared
to loose refs and packed-refs. This is enabled both by the reftable
format being a binary format, which is more compact, and by prefix
compression.
- We can ignore filesystem-specific behaviour as ref names are not
encoded via paths anymore. This means there is no need to handle
case sensitivity on Windows systems or Unicode precomposition on
macOS.
- There is no need to rewrite the complete refdb anymore every time a
ref is being deleted like it was the case for packed-refs. This
means that ref deletions are now constant time instead of scaling
linearly with the number of refs.
- We can ignore file/directory conflicts so that it becomes possible
to store both "refs/heads/foo" and "refs/heads/foo/bar".
- Due to this property we can retain reflogs for deleted refs. We have
previously been deleting reflogs together with their refs to avoid
file/directory conflicts, which is not necessary anymore.
- We can properly enumerate all refs. With the "files" backend it is
not easily possible to distinguish between refs and non-refs because
they may live side by side in the gitdir.
Not all of these improvements are realized with the current "reftable"
backend implementation. At this point, the new backend is supposed to be
a drop-in replacement for the "files" backend that is used by basically
all Git repositories nowadays. It strives for 1:1 compatibility, which
means that a user can expect the same behaviour regardless of whether
they use the "reftable" backend or the "files" backend for most of the
part.
Most notably, this means we artificially limit the capabilities of the
"reftable" backend to match the limits of the "files" backend. It is not
possible to create refs that would end up with file/directory conflicts,
we do not retain reflogs, we perform stricter-than-necessary checks.
This is done intentionally due to two main reasons:
- It makes it significantly easier to land the "reftable" backend as
tests behave the same. It would be tough to argue for each and every
single test that doesn't pass with the "reftable" backend.
- It ensures compatibility between repositories that use the "files"
backend and repositories that use the "reftable" backend. Like this,
hosters can migrate their repositories to use the "reftable" backend
without causing issues for clients that use the "files" backend in
their clones.
It is expected that these artificial limitations may eventually go away
in the long term.
Performance-wise things very much depend on the actual workload. The
following benchmarks compare the "files" and "reftable" backends in the
current version:
- Creating N refs in separate transactions shows that the "files"
backend is ~50% faster. This is not surprising given that creating a
ref only requires us to create a single loose ref. The "reftable"
backend will also perform auto compaction on updates. In real-world
workloads we would likely also want to perform pack loose refs,
which would likely change the picture.

- Deleting a ref in a fully-packed repository shows that the "files"

- Listing all refs shows no significant advantage for either of the
backends. The "files" backend is a bit faster, but not by a
significant margin. When repositories are not packed the "reftable"
backend outperforms the "files" backend because the "reftable"
backend performs auto-compaction.

So overall, performance depends on the usecases. Except for many
sequential writes the "reftable" backend is roughly on par or
significantly faster than the "files" backend though. Given that the
"files" backend has received 18 years of optimizations by now this can
be seen as a win. Furthermore, we can expect that the "reftable" backend
will grow faster over time when attention turns more towards
optimizations.
The complete test suite passes, except for those tests explicitly marked
to require the REFFILES prerequisite. Some tests in t0610 are marked as
failing because they depend on still-in-flight bug fixes. Tests can be
run with the new backend by setting the GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT
environment variable to "reftable".
There is a single known conceptual incompatibility with the dumb HTTP
transport. As "info/refs" SHOULD NOT contain the HEAD reference, and
because the "HEAD" file is not valid anymore, it is impossible for the
remote client to figure out the default branch without changing the
protocol. This shortcoming needs to be handled in a subsequent patch
series.
As the reftable library has already been introduced a while ago, this
commit message will not go into the details of how exactly the on-disk
format works. Please refer to our preexisting technical documentation at
Documentation/technical/reftable for this.

The call to index_file_exists() in the loop in expand_to_path() passes
the wrong string length. Let's fix that.
The loop in expand_to_path() searches the name-hash for each
sub-directory prefix in the provided pathname. That is, by searching
for "dir1/" then "dir1/dir2/" then "dir1/dir2/dir3/" and so on until
it finds a cache-entry representing a sparse directory.
The code creates "strbuf path_mutable" to contain the working pathname
and modifies the buffer in-place by temporarily replacing the character
following each successive "/" with NUL for the duration of the call to
index_file_exists().
It does not update the strbuf.len during this substitution.
Pass the patched length of the prefix path instead.

git-index-pack has a --strict option that can take an optional argument
to provide a list of fsck issues to change their severity.
--fsck-objects does not have such a utility, which would be useful if
one would like to be more lenient or strict on data integrity in a
repository.
Like --strict, allow --fsck-objects to also take a list of fsck msgs to
change the severity.
Remove the "For internal use only" note for --fsck-objects, and document
the option. This won't often be used by the normal end user, but it
turns out it is useful for Git forges like GitLab.

would expand to just a single mention of that directory, i.e.
-L$(SOMELIBDIR)
when CC_LD_DYNPATH is set to an empty string (or a "-L", which
would have repeated the same "-L$(SOMELIBDIR)" twice without any
ill effect).

FreeBSD 12 is EOL and no longer available, causing errors in this job.
Upgrade to 13.2, which is the next oldest release with support and that
should keep it for at least another 4 months.
This will be upgraded again once 13.3 is released to avoid further
surprises.
The original report [*] of this problem mentions an error message
"Not enough compute credits to prioritize tasks!". It seems to be
just a reminder that the credit allocate for the Free Tier by Cirrus
is all used up and which might result in additional delays getting a
result.

We decide on the set of unit tests to run by asking make to expand the
wildcard "t/unit-tests/bin/*". One unfortunate outcome of this is that
we'll run anything in that directory, even if it is leftover cruft from
a previous build. This isn't _quite_ as bad as it sounds, since in
theory the unit tests executables are self-contained (so if they passed
before, they'll pass even though they now have nothing to do with the
checked out version of Git). But at the very least it's wasteful, and if
they _do_ fail it can be quite confusing to understand why they are
being run at all.
This wildcarding presumably came from our handling of the regular
shell-script tests, which use $(wildcard t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh).
But the difference there is that those are actual tracked files. So if
you checkout a different commit, they'll go away. Whereas the contents
of unit-tests/bin are ignored (so not only do they stick around, but you
are not even warned of the stale files via "git status").
This patch fixes the situation by looking for the actual unit-test
source files and then massaging those names into the final executable
names. This has two additional benefits:
1. It will notice if we failed to build one or more unit-tests for
some reason (whereas the current code just runs whatever made it to
the bin/ directory).
2. The wildcard should avoid other build cruft, like the pdb files we
worked around in 0df903d402 (unit-tests: do not mistake `.pdb`
files for being executable, 2023-09-25).
Our new wildcard does make an assumption that unit tests are built from
C sources. It would be a bit cleaner if we consulted UNIT_TEST_PROGRAMS
from the top-level Makefile. But doing so is tricky unless we reorganize
that Makefile to split the source file lists into include-able subfiles.
That might be worth doing in general, but in the meantime, the
assumptions made by the wildcard here seems reasonable.
Note that we do need to include config.mak.uname either way, though, as
we need the value of $(X) to compute the correct executable names (which
would be true even if we had access to the top-level's UNIT_TEST_PROGRAMS
variable).

When we take a library package we depend on (e.g., LIBPCRE) from a
directory other than the default location of the system, we add the
same directory twice on the linker command like, like so:
EXTLIBS += -L$(LIBPCREDIR)/$(lib) $(CC_LD_DYNPATH)$(LIBPCREDIR)/$(lib)
Introduce a template "libpath_template" that takes the path to the
directory, which can be used like so:
EXTLIBS += $(call libpath_template,$(LIBPCREDIR)/$(lib))
and expand it into the "-L$(DIR) $(CC_LD_DYNPATH)$(DIR)" form.
Hopefully we can reduce the chance of typoes this way.

Since c6d3cce6f3 (pipe_command(): handle ENOSPC when writing to a
pipe, 2022-08-17), one `write()` call that results in an `errno` value
`ENOSPC` (which typically indicates out of disk space, which makes
little sense in the context of a pipe) is treated the same as `EAGAIN`.
However, contrary to expectations, as diagnosed in
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/101881#issuecomment-1428667015,
when writing to a non-blocking pipe on Windows, an `errno` value of
`ENOSPC` means something else: the write _fails_. Completely. Because
more data was provided than the internal pipe buffer can handle.
Somewhat surprising, considering that `write()` is allowed to write less
than the specified amount, e.g. by writing only as much as fits in that
buffer. But it doesn't, it writes no byte at all in that instance.
Let's handle this by manually detecting when an `ENOSPC` indicates that
a pipe's buffer is smaller than what needs to be written, and re-try
using the pipe's buffer size as `size` parameter.
It would be plausible to try writing the entire buffer in a loop,
feeding pipe buffer-sized chunks, but experiments show that trying to
write more than one buffer-sized chunk right after that will immediately
fail because the buffer is unlikely to be drained as fast as `write()`
could write again. And the whole point of a non-blocking pipe is to be
non-blocking.
Which means that the logic that determines the pipe's buffer size
unfortunately has to be run potentially many times when writing large
amounts of data to a non-blocking pipe, as there is no elegant way to
cache that information between `write()` calls. It's the best we can do,
though, so it has to be good enough.
This fix is required to let t3701.60 (handle very large filtered diff)
pass with the MSYS2 runtime provided by the MSYS2 project: Without this
patch, the failed write would result in an infinite loop. This patch is
not required with Git for Windows' variant of the MSYS2 runtime only
because Git for Windows added an ugly work-around specifically to avoid
a hang in that test case.
The diff is slightly chatty because it extends an already-existing
conditional that special-cases a _different_ `errno` value for pipes,
and because this patch needs to account for the fact that
`_get_osfhandle()` potentially overwrites `errno`.

The "disable repository discovery of a bare repository" check,
triggered by setting safe.bareRepository configuration variable to
'explicit', has been loosened to exclude the ".git/" directory inside
a non-bare repository from the check. So you can do "cd .git &&
git cmd" to run a Git command that works on a bare repository without
explicitly specifying $GIT_DIR now.
