The `safe_create_leading_directories()` function and its relatives are
located in "object-file.c", which is not a good fit as they provide
generic functionality not related to objects at all. Move them into
"path.c", which already hosts `safe_create_dir()` and its relative
`safe_create_dir_in_gitdir()`.
"path.c" is free of `the_repository`, but the moved functions depend on
`the_repository` to read the "core.sharedRepository" config. Adapt the
function signature to accept a repository as argument to fix the issue
and adjust callers accordingly.

When a user runs 'git rebase --continue' to conclude a conflicted merge
during a 'git rebase -r' invocation, we do not create a merge commit if
the resolution was empty (i.e. if the index and HEAD are identical). We
simply continue the rebase as if no 'merge' instruction had been given.
This is confusing since all commits from the side branch are absent from
the rebased history. What's more, if that 'merge' is the last
instruction in the todo list, we fail to remove the merge state, such
that running 'git status' shows we are still merging after the rebase
has concluded.
This happens because in 'sequencer.c::commit_staged_changes', we exit
early before calling 'run_git_commit' if 'is_clean' is true, i.e. if
nothing is staged. Fix this by also checking for the presence of
MERGE_HEAD before exiting early, such that we do call 'run_git_commit'
when MERGE_HEAD is present. This also ensures that we unlink
git_path_merge_head later in 'commit_staged_changes' to clear the merge
state.
Make sure to also remove MERGE_HEAD when a merge command fails to start.
We already remove MERGE_MSG since e032abd5a0 (rebase: fix rewritten list
for failed pick, 2023-09-06). Removing MERGE_HEAD ensures that in this
situation, upon 'git rebase --continue' we still exit early in
'commit_staged_changes', without calling 'run_git_commit'. This is
already covered by t5407.11, which fails without this change because we
enter 'run_git_commit' and then fail to find 'rebase_path_message'.

The `null_oid()` function returns the object ID that only consists of
zeroes. Naturally, this ID also depends on the hash algorithm used, as
the number of zeroes is different between SHA1 and SHA256. Consequently,
the function returns the hash-algorithm-specific null object ID.
This is currently done by depending on `the_hash_algo`, which implicitly
makes us depend on `the_repository`. Refactor the function to instead
pass in the hash algorithm for which we want to retrieve the null object
ID. Adapt callsites accordingly by passing in `the_repository`, thus
bubbling up the dependency on that global variable by one layer.
There are a couple of trivial exceptions for subsystems that already got
rid of `the_repository`. These subsystems instead use the repository
that is available via the calling context:
- "builtin/grep.c"
- "grep.c"
- "refs/debug.c"
There are also two non-trivial exceptions:
- "diff-no-index.c": Here we know that we may not have a repository
initialized at all, so we cannot rely on `the_repository`. Instead,
we adapt `diff_no_index()` to get a `struct git_hash_algo` as
parameter. The only caller is located in "builtin/diff.c", where we
know to call `repo_set_hash_algo()` in case we're running outside of
a Git repository. Consequently, it is fine to continue passing
`the_repository->hash_algo` even in this case.
- "builtin/ls-files.c": There is an in-flight patch series that drops
`USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` in this file, which causes a semantic
conflict because we use `null_oid()` in `show_submodule()`. The
value is passed to `repo_submodule_init()`, which may use the object
ID to resolve a tree-ish in the superproject from which we want to
read the submodule config. As such, the object ID should refer to an
object in the superproject, and consequently we need to use its hash
algorithm.
This means that we could in theory just not bother about this edge
case at all and just use `the_repository` in "diff-no-index.c". But
doing so would feel misdesigned.
Remove the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` preprocessor define in
"hash.c".

When rebase rewords a commit it picks the commit and then runs "git
commit --amend" to reword it. When the commit is picked the sequencer
tries to reuse existing commits by fast-forwarding if the parents are
unchanged. Rewording an empty commit that has been fast-forwarded fails
because "git commit --amend" is called without "--allow-empty". This
happens because when a commit is fast-forwarded the logic that checks
whether we should pass "--allow-empty" is skipped. Fix this by always
passing "--allow-empty" when rewording a commit. This is safe because we
are amending a commit that has already been picked so if it had become
empty when it was picked we'd have already returned an error.
As "git commit" will happily create empty merge commits without
"--allow-empty" we do not need to pass that flag when rewording merge
commits.

The rebase todo editor has commands like `fixup -c` which affects
the commit messages of the rebased commits.[1] For example:
pick hash1 <msg>
fixup hash2 <msg>
fixup -c hash3 <msg>
This says that hash2 and hash3 should be squashed into hash1 and
that hash3’s commit message should be used for the resulting commit.
So the user is presented with an editor where the two first commit
messages are commented out and the third is not. However this does
not work if `core.commentChar`/`core.commentString` is in use since
the comment char is hardcoded (#) in this `sequencer.c` function.
As a result the first commit message will not be commented out.

When interactively rebasing merge commits, the commit message is parsed to
extract a probably meaningful label name. For instance if the merge commit
is “Merge branch 'feature0'”, then the rebase script will have thes lines:
```
label feature0
merge -C $sha feature0 # “Merge branch 'feature0'
```
This heuristic fails in the case of octopus merges or when the merge commit
message is actually unrelated to the parent commits.
An example that combines both is:
```
*---. 967bfa4 (HEAD -> integration) Integration
|\ \ \
| | | * 2135be1 (feature2, feat2) Feature 2
| |_|/
|/| |
| | * c88b01a Feature 1
| |/
|/|
| * 75f3139 (feat0) Feature 0
|/
* 25c86d0 (main) Initial commit
```
yields the labels Integration, Integration-2 and Integration-3.
Fix this by using a branch name for each merge commit's parent that is the
tip of at least one branch, and falling back to a label derived from the
merge commit message otherwise.
In the example above, the labels become feat0, Integration and feature2.

rebase --exec doesn't obey --quiet and ends up printing messages about
the command being executed:
git rebase HEAD~3 --quiet --exec true
Executing: true
Executing: true
Executing: true
Let's fix that by omitting the "Executing" messages when using --quiet.
Furthermore, the sequencer code includes a few calls to
term_clear_line(), which prints a special character sequence to erase
the previous line displayed on stderr (even when nothing was printed
yet). For an user running the command interactively, the net effect of
calling this function with or without --quiet is the same as the
characters are invisible in the terminal. However, when redirecting the
output to a file or piping to another command, the presence of these
invisible characters is noticeable, and it may break user expectation as
--quiet is not being respected.
We could skip the term_clear_line() calls when --quiet is used, like we
are doing with the "Executing" messages, but it makes much more sense to
condition the line cleaning upon stderr being TTY, since these
characters are really only useful for TTY outputs.
The added test checks for both these two changes.

The documentation claims that "recursive defaults to the diff.algorithm
config setting", but this is currently not the case. This fixes it,
ensuring that diff.algorithm is used when -Xdiff-algorithm is not
supplied. This affects the following porcelain commands: "merge",
"rebase", "cherry-pick", "pull", "stash", "log", "am" and "checkout".
It also affects the "merge-tree" ancillary interrogator.
This change refactors the initialization of merge options to introduce
two functions, "init_merge_ui_options" and "init_merge_basic_options"
instead of just one "init_merge_options". This design follows the
approach used in diff.c, providing initialization methods for
porcelain and plumbing commands respectively. Thanks to that, the
"replay" and "merge-recursive" plumbing commands remain unaffected by
diff.algorithm.

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

try to pick a a merge commit and print the message
error: commit abc123 is a merge but no -m option was given.
followed by a hint about the command being rescheduled. This message is
designed to help the user when they cherry-pick a merge and forget to
pass "-m". For users who are rebasing the message is confusing as there
is no way for rebase to cherry-pick the merge.
Improve the user experience by detecting the error and printing some
advice on how to fix it when the todo list is parsed rather than waiting
for the "pick" command to fail. The advice recommends "merge" rather
than "exec git cherry-pick -m ..." on the assumption that cherry-picking
merges is relatively rare and it is more likely that the user chose
"pick" by a mistake.
It would be possible to support cherry-picking merges by allowing the
user to pass "-m" to "pick" commands but that adds complexity to do
something that can already be achieved with
exec git cherry-pick -m1 abc123

The trailer API has been reshuffled a bit.
* la/hide-trailer-info:
trailer unit tests: inspect iterator contents
trailer: document parse_trailers() usage
trailer: retire trailer_info_get() from API
trailer: make trailer_info struct private
trailer: make parse_trailers() return trailer_info pointer
interpret-trailers: access trailer_info with new helpers
sequencer: use the trailer iterator
trailer: teach iterator about non-trailer lines
trailer: add unit tests for trailer iterator
Makefile: sort UNIT_TEST_PROGRAMS
Updates to symbolic refs can now be made as a part of ref
transaction.
* kn/ref-transaction-symref:
refs: remove `create_symref` and associated dead code
refs: rename `refs_create_symref()` to `refs_update_symref()`
refs: use transaction in `refs_create_symref()`
refs: add support for transactional symref updates
refs: move `original_update_refname` to 'refs.c'
refs: support symrefs in 'reference-transaction' hook
files-backend: extract out `create_symref_lock()`
refs: accept symref values in `ref_transaction_update()`
Apply the rules that rewrite callers of "refs" interfaces to explicitly
pass `struct ref_store`. The resulting patch has been applied with the
`--whitespace=fix` option.

The function `ref_transaction_update()` obtains ref information and
flags to create a `ref_update` and add them to the transaction at hand.
To extend symref support in transactions, we need to also accept the
old and new ref targets and process it. This commit adds the required
parameters to the function and modifies all call sites.
The two parameters added are `new_target` and `old_target`. The
`new_target` is used to denote what the reference should point to when
the transaction is applied. Some functions allow this parameter to be
NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed.
The `old_target` denotes the value the reference must have before the
update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL, meaning that the
old value of the reference is not checked.
We also update the internal function `ref_transaction_add_update()`
similarly to take the two new parameters.

Instead of calling "trailer_info_get()", which is a low-level function
in the trailers implementation (trailer.c), call
trailer_iterator_advance(), which was specifically designed for public
consumption in f0939a0eb1 (trailer: add interface for iterating over
commit trailers, 2020-09-27).
Avoiding "trailer_info_get()" means we don't have to worry about options
like "no_divider" (relevant for parsing trailers). We also don't have to
check for things like "info.trailer_start == info.trailer_end" to see
whether there were any trailers (instead we can just check to see
whether the iterator advanced at all).
Note how we have to use "iter.raw" in order to get the same behavior as
before when we iterated over the unparsed string array (char **trailers)
in trailer_info.

"git rebase --signoff" used to forget that it needs to add a
sign-off to the resulting commit when told to continue after a
conflict stops its operation.
* pw/rebase-m-signoff-fix:
rebase -m: fix --signoff with conflicts
sequencer: store commit message in private context
sequencer: move current fixups to private context
sequencer: start removing private fields from public API
sequencer: always free "struct replay_opts"
When rebasing with "--signoff" the commit created by "rebase --continue"
after resolving conflicts or editing a commit fails to add the
"Signed-off-by:" trailer. This happens because the message from the
original commit is reused instead of the one that would have been used
if the sequencer had not stopped for the user interaction. The correct
message is stored in ctx->message and so with a couple of exceptions
this is written to rebase_path_message() when stopping for user
interaction instead. The exceptions are (i) "fixup" and "squash"
commands where the file is written by error_failed_squash() and (ii)
"edit" commands that are fast-forwarded where the original message is
still reused. The latter is safe because "--signoff" will never
fast-forward.
Note this introduces a change in behavior as the message file now
contains conflict comments. This is safe because commit_staged_changes()
passes an explicit cleanup flag when not editing the message and when
the message is being edited it will be cleaned up automatically. This
means user now sees the same message comments in editor with "rebase
--continue" as they would if they ran "git commit" themselves before
continuing the rebase. It also matches the behavior of "git
cherry-pick", "git merge" etc. which all list the files with merge
conflicts.
The tests are extended to check that all commits made after continuing a
rebase have a "Signed-off-by:" trailer. Sadly there are a couple of
leaks in apply.c which I've not been able to track down that mean this
test file is no-longer leak free when testing "git rebase --apply
--signoff" with conflicts.

Add an strbuf to "struct replay_ctx" to hold the current commit
message. This does not change the behavior but it will allow us to fix a
bug with "git rebase --signoff" in the next commit. A future patch
series will use the changes here to avoid writing the commit message to
disc unless there are conflicts or the commit is being reworded.
The changes in do_pick_commit() are a mechanical replacement of "msgbuf"
with "ctx->message". In do_merge() the code to write commit message to
disc is factored out of the conditional now that both branches store the
message in the same buffer.
