Patrick Steinhardt c1d6628c94 meson: wire up static analysis via Coccinelle
Wire up static analysis via Coccinelle via a new test target
"coccicheck". This target can be executed via `meson compile coccicheck`
and generates the semantic patch for us.

Note that we don't hardcode the list of source and header files that
shall be analyzed, and instead use git-ls-files(1) to find them for us.
This is because we also want to analyze files that may not get built on
the current platform, so finding all sources at configure time is easier
than introducing a new variable that tracks all sources, including those
which aren't being built.

Patrick Steinhardt 1cee22ebff meson: wire up credential helpers
We've got a couple of credential helpers in "contrib/credential", all
of which aren't yet wired up via Meson. Do so.

Note that ideally, we'd also wire up t0303 to be executed with each of
the credential helpers to verify their functionality. Unfortunately
though, none of them pass the test suite right now, so this is left for
a future change.

M Hickford f8d95a323a contrib/credential: fix compilation of wincred helper with MSVC
The git-credential-wincred helper does not compile on Windows with
Microsoft Visual Studio because of our use of `__attribute__()`, which
its compiler doesn't support. While the rest of our codebase would know
to handle this because we redefine the macro in "compat/msvc.h", this
stub isn't available here because we don't include "git-compat-util.h"
in the first place.

Fix the issue by making the attribute depend on the `_MSC_VER`
preprocessor macro.

Patrick Steinhardt fd21e6e447 contrib/credential: fix "netrc" tests with out-of-tree builds
Tests of the "netrc" credential helper aren't prepared to handle
out-of-tree builds:

  - They expect the "test.pl" script to be located relative to the build
    directory, even though it is located in the source directory.

  - They expect the built "git-credential-netrc" helper to be located
    relative to the "test.pl" file, evne though it is loated in the
    build directory.

This works alright as long as source and build directories are the same,
but starts to break apart with Meson.

Fix these first issue by using the new "GIT_SOURCE_DIR" variable to
locate the test script itself. And fix the second issue by introducing a
new environment variable "CREDENTIAL_NETRC_PATH" that can be set for
out-of-tree builds to locate the built credential helper.

Patrick Steinhardt c5823641a6 GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS: propagate project's source directory
A couple of our tests require knowledge around where to find the
project's source directory in order to locate files required for the
test itself. Until now we have been wiring these up ad-hoc via new,
specialized variables catered to the specific usecase. This is quite
awkward though, as every test that potentially needs to locate paths
relative to the source directory needs to grow another variable.

Introduce a new "GIT_SOURCE_DIR" variable into GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS to stop
this proliferation. Remove existing variables that can be derived from
it.

brian m. carlson a620046b29 diff: don't crash with empty argument to -G or -S
The pickaxe options, -G and -S, need either a regex or a string to look
through the history for.  An empty value isn't very useful since it
would either match everything or nothing, and what's worse, we presently
crash with a BUG like so when the user provides one:

    BUG: diffcore-pickaxe.c:241: should have needle under -G or -S

Since it's not very nice of us to crash and this wouldn't do anything
useful anyway, let's simply inform the user that they must provide a
non-empty argument and exit with an error if they provide an empty one
instead.

Phillip Wood 54cf5d2da8 merge-tree: only use basic merge config
Commit 9c93ba4d0a (merge-recursive: honor diff.algorithm, 2024-07-13)
replaced init_merge_options() with init_basic_merge_config() for use in
plumbing commands and init_ui_merge_config() for use in porcelain
commands. As "git merge-tree" is a plumbing command it should call
init_basic_merge_config() rather than init_ui_merge_config(). The merge
ort machinery ignores "diff.algorithm" so the behavior is unchanged by
this commit but it future proofs us against any future changes to
init_ui_merge_config().

Phillip Wood 1b0e5f4499 merge-tree: remove redundant code
real_merge() only ever returns "0" or "1" as it dies if the merge status
is less than zero. Therefore the check for "result < 0" is redundant and
the result variable is not needed. The return value of real_merge() is
ignored because exit status of "git merge-tree --stdin" is "0" for both
successful and conflicted merges (the status of each merge is written to
stdout). The return type of real_merge() is not changed as it is used
for the program's exit status when "--stdin" is not given.

Phillip Wood 344a107b55 merge-tree --stdin: flush stdout to avoid deadlock
If a process tries to read the output from "git merge-tree --stdin"
before it closes merge-tree's stdin then it deadlocks. This happens
because merge-tree does not flush its output before trying to read
another line of input and means that it is not possible to cherry-pick a
sequence of commits using "git merge-tree --stdin". Fix this by calling
maybe_flush_or_die() before trying to read the next line of
input. Flushing the output after each merge does not seem to affect the
performance, any difference is lost in the noise even after increasing
the number of runs.

$ git rev-list --merges --parents -n100 origin/master |
	sed 's/^[^ ]* //' >/tmp/merges
$ hyperfine -L flush 0,1 --warmup 1 --runs 30 \

Rename `match_name_with_pattern()` to `match_refname_with_pattern()` to

The previous function name and parameter names were inconsistent, making
it harder to understand their roles in refspec matching.

- Rename parameters:
  - `key` -> `pattern` (globbing pattern to match)
  - `name` -> `refname` (refname to check)
  - `value` -> `replacement` (replacement mapping pattern)

Adam Dinwoodie 5309c1e9fb Makefile: set default goals in makefiles
Explicitly set the default goal at the very top of various makefiles.
This is already present in some makefiles, but not all of them.

In particular, this corrects a regression introduced in a38edab7c8
(Makefile: generate doc versions via GIT-VERSION-GEN, 2024-12-06).  That
commit added some config files as build targets for the Documentation
directory, and put the target configuration in a sensible place.
Unfortunately, that sensible place was above any other build target
definitions, meaning the default goal changed to being those
configuration files only, rather than the HTML and man page
documentation.

Back in 728b9ac0c3 (Makefile(s): avoid recipe prefix in conditional
statements, 2024-04-08), we prepared our Makefiles for a forthcoming

conditional statement by replacing tabs (the prefix) with eight spaces.

In b9d6f64393 (compat/zlib: allow use of zlib-ng as backend,
2025-01-28), a handful of recipe prefix characters were introduced in a
conditional statement ('ifdef ZLIB_NG'), causing 'make' to fail on my
system, which uses GNU Make 4.4.90.

Remove the recipe prefix characters by replacing them with the same
script as is mentioned in 728b9ac0c3.

The comparisons all involve unsigned variables. Cast the comparison
to unsigned to eliminate the mismatch.

David Aguilar 46fb084353 xdiff: avoid signed vs. unsigned comparisons in xemit.c
The unsigned `ignored` variable causes expressions to promote to
unsigned. Use a signed value to make comparisons use the same types.

David Aguilar 9d16f89584 xdiff: move sign comparison warning guard into each file
Allow each file to fix the warnings guarded by the macro separately by
moving the definition from the shared xinclude.h into each file that
needs it.

xmerge.c and xprepare.c do not contain any signed vs. unsigned
comparisons so the definition was not included in these files.

Elijah Newren 45761988ac doc: clarify the intent of the renormalize option in the merge machinery
The -X renormalize (or merge.renormalize config) option is intended to
reduce conflicts due to normalization of newer versions of history.  It
does so by renormalizing files that it is about to do a three-way
content merge on.  Some folks thought it would renormalize all files
throughout the tree, and the previous wording wasn't clear enough to
dispell that misconception.  Update the docs to make it clear that the
merge machinery will only apply renormalization to files which need a
three-way content merge.

(Technically, the merge machinery also does renormalization on
modify/delete conflicts, in order to see if the modification was merely
a normalization; if so, it can accept the delete and not report a
conflict.  But it's not clear that this piece needs to be explained to
users, and trying to distinguish it might feel like splitting hairs and
overcomplicating the explanation, so we leave it out.)
