If the trace code cannot open a specified file, or does not
understand the contents of the GIT_TRACE variable, it falls
back to printing trace output to stderr.
This is an attempt to be helpful, but in practice it just
ends up annoying. The user was trying to get the output to
go somewhere else, so spewing it to stderr does not really
accomplish that. And as it's intended for debugging, they
can presumably re-run the command with their error
corrected.
So instead of falling back, this patch disables bogus trace
keys for the rest of the program, just as we do for write
errors. We can drop the "Defaulting to..." part of the error
message entirely; after seeing "cannot open '/foo'", the
user can assume that tracing is skipped.

This function has no callers, and is not likely to gain any
because it's confusing to use.
It unconditionally complains to stderr, but _doesn't_ die.
Yet any caller which wants a "gentle" write would generally
want to suppress the error message, because presumably
they're going to write a better one, and/or try the
operation again.
And the check_pipe() call leads to confusing behaviors. It
means we die for EPIPE, but not for other errors, which is
confusing and pointless.
On top of all that, it has unusual error return semantics,
which makes it easy for callers to get it wrong.
Let's drop the function, and if somebody ever needs to
resurrect something like it, they can fix these warts.

If we get a write error writing to a trace descriptor, the
error isn't likely to go away if we keep writing. Instead,
you'll just get the same error over and over. E.g., try:
GIT_TRACE_PACKET=42 git ls-remote >/dev/null
You don't really need to see:
warning: unable to write trace for GIT_TRACE_PACKET: Bad file descriptor
hundreds of times. We could fallback to tracing to stderr,
as we do in the error code-path for open(), but there's not
much point. If the user fed us a bogus descriptor, they're
probably better off fixing their invocation. And if they
didn't, and we saw a transient error (e.g., ENOSPC writing
to a file), it probably doesn't help anybody to have half of
the trace in a file, and half on stderr.

Our error message for write() always mentions GIT_TRACE,
even though we may be writing for a different variable
entirely. It's also not quite accurate to say "fd given by
GIT_TRACE environment variable", as we may hit this error
based on a filename the user put in the variable (we do
complain and switch to stderr if the file cannot be opened,
but it's still possible to hit a write() error on the
descriptor later).
So let's fix those things, and switch to our more usual
"unable to do X: Y" format for the error.

The error messages for the trace code are often multi-line;
the first line gets a nice "warning:", but the rest are
left-aligned. Let's give them an indentation to make sure
they stand out as a unit.
While we're here, let's also downcase the first letter of
each error (our usual style), and break up a long line of
advice (since we're already using multiple lines, one more
doesn't hurt).
We also replace "What does 'foo' for GIT_TRACE mean?". While
cute, it's probably a good idea to give more context, and
follow our usual styles. So it's now "unknown trace value
for 'GIT_TRACE': foo".

Right now we just fprintf() straight to stderr, which can
make the output hard to distinguish. It would be helpful to
give it one of our usual prefixes like "error:", "warning:",
etc.
It doesn't make sense to use error() here, as the trace code
is "optional" debugging code. If something goes wrong, we
should warn the user, but saying "error" implies the actual
git operation had a problem. So warning() is the only sane
choice.
Note that this does end up calling warn_routine() to do the
formatting. This is probably a good thing, since they are
clearly trying to hook messages before they make it to
stderr. However, it also means that in theory somebody who
tries to trace from their warn_routine() could cause a loop.
This seems rather unlikely in practice (we've never even
overridden the default warn_builtin routine before, and
recent discussions to do so would just install a noop
routine).

The write_or_whine_pipe function does two things:
1. it checks for EPIPE and converts it into a signal death
2. it prints a message to stderr on error
The first thing does not help us, and actively hurts.
Generally we would simply die from SIGPIPE in this case,
unless somebody has taken the time to ignore SIGPIPE for the
whole process. And if they _did_ do that, it seems rather
silly for the trace code, which otherwise takes pains to
continue even in the face of errors (e.g., by not using
write_or_die!), to take down the whole process for one
specific type of error.
Nor does the second thing help us; it just makes it harder
to write our error message, because we have to feed bits of
it as an argument to write_or_whine_pipe(). Translators
never get to see the full message, and it's hard for us to
customize it.
Let's switch to just using write_in_full() and writing our
own error string. For now, the error is identical to what
write_or_whine_pipe() would say, but now that it's more
under our control, we can improve it in future patches.

Let's start with the commit message of [1] from freebsd.git [2]
Sync timestamp changes for inodes of special files to disk as late
as possible (when the inode is reclaimed). Temporarily only do
this if option UFS_LAZYMOD configured and softupdates aren't
enabled. UFS_LAZYMOD is intentionally left out of
/sys/conf/options.
This is mainly to avoid almost useless disk i/o on battery powered
machines. It's silly to write to disk (on the next sync or when
the inode becomes inactive) just because someone hit a key or
something wrote to the screen or /dev/null.
PR: 5577 [3]
The short version of that, in the context of t7063, is that when a
directory is updated, its mtime may be updated later, not
immediately. This can be shown with a simple command sequence
date; sleep 1; touch abc; rm abc; sleep 10; ls -lTd .
One would expect that the date shown in `ls` would be one second from
`date`, but it's 10 seconds later. If we put another `ls -lTd .` in
front of `sleep 10`, then the date of the last `ls` comes as
expected. The first `ls` somehow forces mtime to be updated.
t7063 is really sensitive to directory mtime. When mtime is too "new",
git code suspects racy timestamps and will not trigger the shortcut in
untracked cache, in t7063.24 and eventually be detected in t7063.27
We have two options thanks to this special FreeBSD feature:
1) Stop supporting untracked cache on FreeBSD. Skip t7063 entirely
when running on FreeBSD
2) Work around this problem (using the same 'ls' trick) and continue
to support untracked cache on FreeBSD
I initially wanted to go with 1) because I didn't know the exact
nature of this feature and feared that it would make untracked cache
work unreliably, using the cached version when it should not.
Since the behavior of this thing is clearer now. The picture is not
that bad. If this indeed happens often, untracked cache would assume
racy condition more often and _fall back_ to non-untracked cache code
paths. Which means it may be less effective, but it will not show
wrong things.
This patch goes with option 2.
PS. For those who want to look further in FreeBSD source code, this
flag is now called IN_LAZYMOD. I can see it's effective in ext2 and
ufs. zfs is not affected.

Gerrit has a "superproject subscription" feature[1], that triggers a
commit in a superproject that is subscribed to its submodules.
Conceptually this Gerrit feature can be done on the client side with
Git via (except for raciness, error handling etc):
while [ true ]; do
git -C <superproject> submodule update --remote --force
git -C <superproject> commit -a -m "Update submodules"
git -C <superproject> push
done
for each branch in the superproject. To ease the configuration in Gerrit
a special value of "." has been introduced for the submodule.<name>.branch
to mean the same branch as the superproject[2], such that you can create a
new branch on both superproject and the submodule and this feature
continues to work on that new branch.
Now we find projects in the wild with such a .gitmodules file.
The .gitmodules used in these Gerrit projects do not conform
to Gits understanding of how .gitmodules should look like.
This teaches Git to deal gracefully with this syntax as well.
The redefinition of "." does no harm to existing projects unaware of
this change, as "." is an invalid branch name in Git, so we do not
expect such projects to exist.

On Windows, it is already pretty expensive to try to recreate the stat()
data that Git assumes is cheap to obtain. To make things halfway decent
in performance, we even have to skip emulating the inode and to
determine the number of hard links.
This is not a huge problem, usually, as either the size or the mtime or
the ctime are tell-tale enough to say when a file has changed, and even
if not, those changes are typically made after the index file was
written, triggering a rehashing of the files' contents.
The t4130-apply-criss-cross-rename test case, however, requires the
inode to determine that files of equal size were swapped, as renaming
files does not update their mtime. Every once in a while, t4130 fails
on Windows because of this missing piece.
Equal file sizes are not crucial for the test cases, however. Hence,
generate files with different sizes so that there is some property that
the swapped files can be discovered reliably even on Windows.

When we compute the date to go in author/committer lines of
commits, or tagger lines of tags, we get the current date
once and then cache it for the rest of the program. This is
a good thing in some cases, like "git commit", because it
means we do not racily assign different times to the
author/committer fields of a single commit object.
But as more programs start to make many commits in a single
process (e.g., the recently builtin "git am"), it means that
you'll get long strings of commits with identical committer
timestamps (whereas before, we invoked "git commit" many
times and got true timestamps).
This patch addresses it by letting callers reset the cached
time, which means they'll get a fresh time on their next
call to git_committer_info() or git_author_info(). The first
caller to do so is "git am", which resets the time for each
patch it applies.
It would be nice if we could just do this automatically
before filling in the ident fields of commit and tag
objects. Unfortunately, it's hard to know where a particular
logical operation begins and ends.
For instance, if commit_tree_extended() were to call
reset_ident_date() before getting the committer/author
ident, that doesn't quite work; sometimes the author info is
passed in to us as a parameter, and it may or may not have
come from a previous call to ident_default_date(). So in
those cases, we lose the property that the committer and the
author timestamp always match.
You could similarly put a date-reset at the end of
commit_tree_extended(). That actually works in the current
code base, but it's fragile. It makes the assumption that
after commit_tree_extended() finishes, the caller has no
other operations that would logically want to fall into the
same timestamp.
So instead we provide the tool to easily do the reset, and
let the high-level callers use it to annotate their own
logical operations.
There's no automated test, because it would be inherently
racy (it depends on whether the program takes multiple
seconds to run). But you can see the effect with something
like:
# make a fake 100-patch series
top=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
bottom=$(git rev-list --first-parent -100 HEAD | tail -n 1)
git log --format=email --reverse --first-parent \
--binary -m -p $bottom..$top >patch
# now apply it; this presumably takes multiple seconds
git checkout --detach $bottom
git am <patch
# now count the number of distinct committer times;
# prior to this patch, there would only be one, but
# now we'd typically see several.
git log --format=%ct $bottom.. | sort -u

However, the absence of this file depends on "git reset

prerequisite is not met, and worse yet, xfoo1 originally is
