Similar to the preceding commit, we get a warning in `get_packet_data()`
on 32 bit platforms due to our lenient use of `ssize_t`. This function
is kind of curious though: we accept an `unsigned size` of bytes to
read, then store the actual number of bytes read in an `ssize_t` and
return it as an `int`. This is a whole lot of integer conversions, and
in theory these can cause us to overflow when the passed-in size is
larger than `ssize_t`, which on 32 bit platforms is implemented as an
`int`.
None of the callers of that function even care about the number of bytes
we have read, so returning that number is moot anyway. Refactor the
function such that it only returns an error code, which plugs the
potential overflow. While at it, convert the passed-in size parameter to
be of type `size_t`.

On 32-bit platforms, ssize_t may be "int" while size_t may be
"unsigned int". At times we compare the number of bytes we read
stored in a ssize_t variable with "unsigned int", but that is done
after we check that we did not get an error return (which is
negative---and that is the whole reason why we used ssize_t and not
size_t), so these comparisons are safe.
But compilers may not realize that. Cast these to size_t to work
around the false positives. On platforms with size_t/ssize_t wider
than a normal int, this won't be an issue.

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.

GCC generates a warning in "headless.c" because we compare `slash` with

the warning by storing `slash` as a `size_t`, as well.

When compiling with DEVELOPER=YesPlease, we explicitly disable the
"-Wsign-compare" warning. This is mostly because our code base is full
of cases where we don't bother at all whether something should be signed
or unsigned, and enabling the warning would thus cause tons of warnings
to pop up.
Unfortunately, disabling this warning also masks real issues. There have
been multiple CVEs in the Git project that would have been flagged by
this warning (e.g. CVE-2022-39260, CVE-2022-41903 and several fixes in
the vicinity of these CVEs). Furthermore, the final audit report by
X41 D-Sec, who are the ones who have discovered some of the CVEs, hinted
that it might be a good idea to become more strict in this context.
Now simply enabling the warning globally does not fly due to the stated
reason above that we simply have too many sites where we use the wrong
integer types. Instead, introduce a new set of macros that allow us to
mark a file as being free of warnings with "-Wsign-compare". The
mechanism is similar to what we do with `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE`:
every file that is not marked with `DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS` will
be compiled with those warnings enabled.
These new markings will be wired up in the subsequent commits.

Commit a30154187a (describe: stop traversing when we run out of names,
2024-10-31) taught git-describe to automatically reduce the
max_candidates setting to match the total number of possible names. This
lets us break out of the traversal rather than fruitlessly searching for
more candidates when there are no more to be found.
However, setting max_candidates to 0 (e.g., if the repo has no tags)
overlaps with the --exact-match option, which explicitly uses the same
value. And this causes a regression with --always, which is ignored in
exact-match mode. We used to get this in a repo with no tags:
$ git describe --always HEAD
b2f0a7f
and now we get:
$ git describe --always HEAD
fatal: no tag exactly matches 'b2f0a7f47f5f2aebe1e7fceff19a57de20a78c06'
The reason is that we bail early in describe_commit() when
max_candidates is set to 0. This logic goes all the way back to
2c33f75754 (Teach git-describe --exact-match to avoid expensive tag
searches, 2008-02-24).
We should obviously fix this regression, but there are two paths,
depending on what you think:
$ git describe --always --exact-match
and
$ git describe --always --candidates=0
should do. Since the "--always" option was added, it has always been
ignored in --exact-match (or --candidates=0) mode. I.e., we treat
--exact-match as a true exact match of a tag, and never fall back to
using --always, even if it was requested.
If we think that's a bug (or at least a misfeature), then the right
solution is to fix it by removing the early bail-out from 2c33f75754,
letting the noop algorithm run and then hitting the --always fallback
output. And then our regression naturally goes away, because it follows
the same path.
If we think that the current "--exact-match --always" behavior is the
right thing, then we have to differentiate the case where we
automatically reduced max_candidates to 0 from the case where the user
asked for it specifically. That's possible to do with a flag, but we can
also just reimplement the logic from a30154187a to explicitly break out
of the traversal when we run out of candidates (rather than relying on
the existing max_candidates check).
My gut feeling is along the lines of option 1 (it's a bug, and people
would be happy for "--exact-match --always" to give the fallback rather
than ignoring "--always"). But the documentation can be interpreted in
the other direction, and we've certainly lived with the existing
behavior for many years. So it's possible that changing it now is the
wrong thing.
So this patch fixes the regression by taking the second option,
retaining the "--exact-match" behavior as-is. There are two new tests.
The first shows that the regression is fixed (we don't even need a new
repo without tags; a restrictive --match is enough to create the
situation that there are no candidate names).
The second test confirms that the "--exact-match --always" behavior
remains unchanged and continues to die when there is no tag pointing at
the specified commit. It's possible we may reconsider this in the
future, but this shows that the approach described above is implemented
faithfully.
We can also run the perf tests in p6100 to see that we've retained the
speedup that a30154187a was going for:

Currently if we want to have a remote/HEAD locally that is different
from the one on the remote, but we still want to get a warning if remote
changes HEAD, our only option is to have an indiscriminate warning with
"follow_remote_head" set to "warn". Add a new option
"warn-if-not-$branch", where $branch is a branch name we do not wish to
get a warning about. If the remote HEAD is $branch do not warn,
otherwise, behave as "warn".
E.g. let's assume, that our remote origin has HEAD
set to "master", but locally we have "git remote set-head origin seen".
Setting 'remote.origin.followRemoteHEAD = "warn"' will always print
a warning, even though the remote has not changed HEAD from "master".
Setting 'remote.origin.followRemoteHEAD = "warn-if-not-master" will
squelch the warning message, unless the remote changes HEAD from
"master". Note, that should the remote change HEAD to "seen" (which we
have locally), there will still be no warning.

some of the functions can use. But for functions which do not have
access to this struct, pass down the required information from

This requires that the function `hash_to_hex` is also replaced with

existing calls to both:
- get_packed_git(), as well as
- the_repository->objects->packed_git
, to instead use the new get_all_packs() function.
In the instance that this commit addresses, there was a preceding call
to prepare_packed_git(), which dates all the way back to 660c889e46
(sha1_file: add for_each iterators for loose and packed objects,
2014-10-15) when its caller (for_each_packed_object()) was first
introduced.
This call could have been removed in 454ea2e4d7, since get_all_packs()
itself calls prepare_packed_git(). But the translation in 454ea2e4d7 was
(to the best of my knowledge) a find-and-replace rather than inspecting
each individual caller.
Having an extra prepare_packed_git() call here is harmless, since it
will notice that we have already set the 'packed_git_initialized' field
and the call will be a noop. So we're only talking about a few dozen CPU
cycles to set up and tear down the stack frame.
But having a lone prepare_packed_git() call immediately before a call to
get_all_packs() confused me, so let's remove it as redundant to avoid

The `multi_pack_index` struct represents the MIDX for a repository.
Here, we add a pointer to the repository in this struct, allowing direct
use of the repository variable without relying on the global
`the_repository` struct.
With this addition, we can determine the repository associated with a
`bitmap_index` struct. A `bitmap_index` points to either a `packed_git`
or a `multi_pack_index`, both of which have direct repository
references. To support this, we introduce a static helper function,
`bitmap_repo`, in `pack-bitmap.c`, which retrieves a repository given a
`bitmap_index`.
With this, we clear up all usages of `the_repository` within
`pack-bitmap.c` and also remove the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE`
definition. Bringing us another step closer to remove all global
variable usage.
Although this change also opens up the potential to clean up `midx.c`,
doing so would require additional refactoring to pass the repository
struct to functions where the MIDX struct is created: a task better
suited for future patches.

The `delta_base_cache_limit` variable is a global config variable used
by multiple subsystems. Let's make this non-global, by adding this
variable independently to the subsystems where it is used.
First, add the setting to the `repo_settings` struct, this provides
access to the config in places where the repository is available. Use
this in `packfile.c`.
In `index-pack.c` we add it to the `pack_idx_option` struct and its
constructor. While the repository struct is available here, it may not
be set because `git index-pack` can be used without a repository.
In `gc.c` add it to the `gc_config` struct and also the constructor
function. The gc functions currently do not have direct access to a
repository struct.
These changes are made to remove the usage of `delta_base_cache_limit`

variables, which can simply be avoided by passing the `repository`
struct down to them. Let's do that.

In the previous commit, we introduced the `repository` structure inside
`packed_git`. This provides an alternative route instead of using the
global `the_repository` variable. Let's modify `packfile.c` now to use
this field wherever possible instead of relying on the global state.
There are still a few instances of `the_repository` usage in the file,
where there is no struct `packed_git` locally available, which will be
fixed in the following commits.

The struct `packed_git` holds information regarding a packed object
file. Let's add the repository variable to this object, to represent the
repository that this packfile belongs to. This helps remove dependency
on the global `the_repository` object in `packfile.c` by simply using
repository information now readily available in the struct.
We do need to consider that a packfile could be part of the alternates
of a repository, but considering that we only have one repository struct
and also that we currently anyways use 'the_repository', we should be
OK with this change.
We also modify `alloc_packed_git` to ensure that the repository is added
to newly created `packed_git` structs. This requires modifying the
function and all its callee to pass the repository object down the
levels.
