In .gitmodules files, submodules are keyed by their names, and the
path to the submodule whose name is $name is specified by the
submodule.$name.path variable. There were a few codepaths that
mixed the name and path up when consulting the submodule database,
which have been corrected. It took long for these bugs to be found
as the name of a submodule initially is the same as its path, and
the problem does not surface until it is moved to a different path,
which apparently happens very rarely.

We call repo_get_merge_bases(), which allocates a commit_list, but never
free the result, causing a leak.
The obvious solution is to free it, but we need to look at the contents
of the first item to decide whether to leave the loop. One option is to
free it in both code paths. But since the commit that the list points to
is longer-lived than the list itself, we can just dereference it
immediately, free the list, and then continue with the existing logic.
This is about the same amount of code, but keeps the list management all
in one place.
This lets us mark a number of merge-related test scripts as leak-free.

A previous commit has implemented `git repack --filter=<filter-spec>` to
allow users to filter out some objects from the main pack and move them
into a new different pack.
It would be nice if this new different pack could be created in a
different directory than the regular pack. This would make it possible
to move large blobs into a pack on a different kind of storage, for
example cheaper storage.
Even in a different directory, this pack can be accessible if, for
example, the Git alternates mechanism is used to point to it. In fact
not using the Git alternates mechanism can corrupt a repo as the
generated pack containing the filtered objects might not be accessible
from the repo any more. So setting up the Git alternates mechanism
should be done before using this feature if the user wants the repo to
be fully usable while this feature is used.
In some cases, like when a repo has just been cloned or when there is no
other activity in the repo, it's Ok to setup the Git alternates
mechanism afterwards though. It's also Ok to just inspect the generated
packfile containing the filtered objects and then just move it into the
'.git/objects/pack/' directory manually. That's why it's not necessary
for this command to check that the Git alternates mechanism has been
already setup.
While at it, as an example to show that `--filter` and `--filter-to`
work well with other options, let's also add a test to check that these
options work well with `--max-pack-size`.

they perform other repacks and cleanups, so as part of `git gc`.

This new option puts the objects specified by `<filter-spec>` into a
separate packfile.
This could be useful if, for example, some blobs take up a lot of
precious space on fast storage while they are rarely accessed. It could
make sense to move them into a separate cheaper, though slower, storage.
It's possible to find which new packfile contains the filtered out
objects using one of the following:
- `git verify-pack -v ...`,
- `test-tool find-pack ...`, which a previous commit added,
- `--filter-to=<dir>`, which a following commit will add to specify
where the pack containing the filtered out objects will be.
This feature is implemented by running `git pack-objects` twice in a
row. The first command is run with `--filter=<filter-spec>`, using the
specified filter. It packs objects while omitting the objects specified
by the filter. Then another `git pack-objects` command is launched using
`--stdin-packs`. We pass it all the previously existing packs into its
stdin, so that it will pack all the objects in the previously existing
packs. But we also pass into its stdin, the pack created by the previous
`git pack-objects --filter=<filter-spec>` command as well as the kept
packs, all prefixed with '^', so that the objects in these packs will be
omitted from the resulting pack. The result is that only the objects
filtered out by the first `git pack-objects` command are in the pack
resulting from the second `git pack-objects` command.
As the interactions with kept packs are a bit tricky, a few related
tests are added.

9535ce7337 (pack-objects: add list-objects filtering, 2017-11-21)

handle missing objects. Since then, changes like 9e27beaa23
(promisor-remote: implement promisor_remote_get_direct(), 2019-06-25)
and others added support to dynamically fetch objects that were missing.
Even without a promisor remote, filtering out objects can also be useful
if we can put the filtered out objects in a separate pack, and in this
case it also makes sense for pack-objects to write the packfile directly
to an actual file rather than on stdout.
Remove the `--stdout` requirement when using `--filter`, so that in a

The load_commit_graph_chain_fd_st() function will stop loading chains
when it sees an error. But if it has loaded any graph slice at all, it
will return it. This is a good thing for normal use (we use what data we
can, and this is just an optimization). But it's a bad thing for
"commit-graph verify", which should be careful about finding any
irregularities. We do complain to stderr with a warning(), but the
verify command still exits with a successful return code.
The new tests here cover corruption of both the base and tip slices of
the chain. The corruption of the base file already works (it is the
first file we look at, so when we see the error we return NULL). The
"tip" case is what is fixed by this patch (it complains to stderr but
still returns the base slice).
Likewise the existing tests for corruption of the commit-graph-chain
file itself need to be updated. We already exited non-zero correctly for
the "base" case, but the "tip" case can now do so, too.
Note that this also causes us to adjust a test later in the file that
similarly corrupts a tip (though confusingly the test script calls this
"base"). It checks stderr but erroneously expects the whole "verify"
command to exit with a successful code.

Because it's OK to not have a graph file at all, the graph_verify()
function needs to tell the difference between a missing file and a real
error. So when loading a traditional graph file, we call
open_commit_graph() separately from load_commit_graph_chain_fd_st(), and
don't complain if the first one fails with ENOENT.
When the function learned about chain files in 3da4b609bb (commit-graph:
verify chains with --shallow mode, 2019-06-18), we couldn't be as
careful, since the only way to load a chain was with
read_commit_graph_one(), which did both the open/load as a single unit.
So we'll miss errors in chain files we load, thinking instead that there
was just no chain file at all.
Note that we do still report some of these problems to stderr, as the
loading function calls error() and warning(). But we'd exit with a
successful exit code, which is wrong.
We can fix that by using the recently split open/load functions for
chains. That lets us treat the chain file just like a single file with
respect to error handling here.
An existing test (from 3da4b609bb) shows off the problem; we were
expecting "commit-graph verify" to report success, but that makes no
sense. We did not even verify the contents of the graph data, because we
couldn't load it! I don't think this was an intentional exception, but
rather just the test covering what happened to occur.

maintenance(systemd): support the Windows Subsystem for Linux
The start_bg_command() function takes a callback to tell when the
background-ed process is "ready". The callback receives the
child_process struct as well as an extra void pointer. But curiously,
neither of the two users of this interface look at either parameter!
This makes some sense. The only non-test user of the API is fsmonitor,
which uses fsmonitor_ipc__get_state() to connect to a single global
fsmonitor daemon (i.e., the one we just started!).
So we could just drop these parameters entirely. But it seems like a
pretty reasonable interface for the "wait" callback to have access to
the details of the spawned process, and to have room for passing extra
data through a void pointer. So let's leave these in place but mark the

intentional (and not mistakenly missing other platforms) based on
the discussion in c284e27ba7 (fsmonitor--daemon: implement 'start'

- in fsmonitor-setting.c's check_for_incompatible(), we pass the "ipc"
flag down to the system-specific fsm_os__incompatible() helper. But
we can only do so if our platform has such a helper.
In both cases we can mark the argument as MAYBE_UNUSED. That annotates

The `->util` field corresponding to each string_list_item is used to
track the existence of some pack at the beginning of a repack operation
was originally intended to be used as a bitfield.
This bitfield tracked:
- (1 << 0): whether or not the pack should be deleted
- (1 << 1): whether or not the pack is cruft
The previous commit removed the use of the second bit, but a future
patch (from a different series than this one) will introduce a new use
of it.
So we could stop treating the util pointer as a bitfield and instead
start treating it as if it were a boolean. But this would require some
backtracking when that later patch is applied.
Instead, let's avoid touching the ->util field directly, and instead
introduce convenience functions like:

When repacking with the `--write-midx` option, we invoke the function

This list is comprised of:
- existing .keep packs
- any pack(s) which were written earlier in the same process
- any unchanged packs when doing a `--geometric` repack
- any cruft packs
Prior to this patch, we stored pre-existing cruft and non-cruft packs
together (provided those packs are non-kept). This meant we needed an
additional bit to indicate which non-kept pack(s) were cruft versus
those that aren't.

When there is:
- at least one pre-existing packfile (which is not marked as kept),
- repacking with the `-d` flag, and
- not doing a cruft repack
, then we pass a handful of additional options to the inner
`pack-objects` process, like `--unpack-unreachable`,
`--keep-unreachable`, and `--pack-loose-unreachable`, in addition to
marking any packs we just wrote for promisor remotes as kept in-core
(with `--keep-pack`, as opposed to the presence of a ".keep" file on
disk).
Because we store both cruft and non-cruft packs together in the same
`existing.non_kept_packs` list, it suffices to check its `nr` member to
see if it is zero or not.
But a following change will store cruft- and non-cruft packs separately,
meaning this check would break as a result. Prepare for this by
extracting this part of the check into a new helper function called
`has_existing_non_kept_packs()`.

To remove redundant packs at the end of a repacking operation, Git uses
its `remove_redundant_pack()` function in a loop over the set of
pre-existing, non-kept packs.
In a later commit, we will split this list into two, one for
pre-existing cruft pack(s), and another for non-cruft pack(s). Prepare
for this by factoring out the routine to loop over and delete redundant
packs into its own function.
Instead of calling `remove_redundant_pack()` directly, we now will call
`remove_redundant_existing_packs()`, which itself dispatches a call to
`remove_redundant_packs_1()`. Note that the geometric repacking code
will still call `remove_redundant_pack()` directly, but see the previous
commit for more details.
Having `remove_redundant_packs_1()` exist as a separate function may
seem like overkill in this patch. However, a later patch will call
`remove_redundant_packs_1()` once over two separate lists, so this
refactoring sets us up for that.

At the end of a repack (when given `-d`), Git attempts to remove any
packs which have been made "redundant" as a result of the repacking
operation. For example, an all-into-one (`-A` or `-a`) repack makes
every pre-existing pack which is not marked as kept redundant. Geometric
repacks (with `--geometric=<n>`) make any packs which were rolled up
redundant, and so on.
But before deleting the set of packs we think are redundant, we first
check to see whether or not we just wrote a pack which is identical to
any one of the packs we were going to delete. When this is the case, Git
must avoid deleting that pack, since it matches a pack we just wrote
(so deleting it may cause the repository to become corrupt).
Right now we only process the list of non-kept packs in a single pass.
But a future change will split the existing non-kept packs further into
two lists: one for cruft packs, and another for non-cruft packs.
Factor out this routine to prepare for calling it twice on two separate
lists in a future patch.

The repack machinery needs to keep track of which packfiles were present
in the repository at the beginning of a repack, segmented by whether or
not each pack is marked as kept.
The names of these packs are stored in two `string_list`s, corresponding
to kept- and non-kept packs, respectively. As a consequence, many
functions within the repack code need to take both `string_list`s as
arguments, leading to code like this:
ret = write_cruft_pack(&cruft_po_args, packtmp, pack_prefix,
cruft_expiration, &names,
&existing_nonkept_packs, /* <- */
&existing_kept_packs); /* <- */
Wrap up this pair of `string_list`s into a single structure that stores
both. This saves us from having to pass both string lists separately,
and prepares for adding additional fields to this structure.

`systemd`, the address families available to those maintenance processes
are restricted, and did not include `AF_VSOCK`. This leads to problems
e.g. when a background fetch tries to access github.com:
systemd[437]: Starting Optimize Git repositories data...
git[747387]: WSL (747387) ERROR: UtilBindVsockAnyPort:285: socket failed 97
git[747381]: fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address
git[747381]: error: failed to prefetch remotes
git[747381]: error: task 'prefetch' failed
systemd[437]: git-maintenance@hourly.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[437]: git-maintenance@hourly.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
systemd[437]: Failed to start Optimize Git repositories data.
Address this (pun intended) by adding the `AF_VSOCK` address family to
the allow list.
This fixes https://github.com/microsoft/git/issues/604.

The `--trailer` option takes a "<token>=<value>" argument, for example
--trailer "Acked-by=Bob"
And in this exampple it is understood that "Acked-by" is the <token>.
However, the user can use a shorter "ack" string by defining
configuration like
git config trailer.ack.key "Acked-by"
However, in the docs we define the above configuration as
trailer.<token>.key
so the <token> can mean either the longer "Acked-by" or the shorter
"ack".
Separate the two meanings of <token> into <key> and <keyAlias>, and
update the configuration syntax to say "trailer.<keyAlias>.key".

The phrase "join whitespace-continued values" requires some additional
context. For example, "whitespace" means newlines (not just space
characters), and "join" means to join only the multiple lines together
for a single trailer (and not that we are joining multiple trailers
together). That is, "join" means to convert
token: This is a very long value, with spaces and
newlines in it.
to
token: This is a very long value, with spaces and newlines in it.
and does not mean to convert
token: value1
token: value2
to
token: value1 value2.
Update the help text to resolve the above ambiguity. While we're add it,
update the docs to use similar language as the change in the help text.
