As we have operated with "write like how your surrounding code is
written" for too long, after a huge code drop from another project,
we'll end up being inconsistent before such an imported code is
cleaned up. We have many uses of cast operator with a space before
its operand, mostly in the reftable code.
Spell the convention out before it spreads to other places.

git send-email has support for converting shorthand alias names to
canonical email addresses via the alias file. It supports a wide variety
of alias file formats based on popular email program file formats.
Other programs, such as b4, would like the ability to convert aliases in
the same way as git send-email without needing to re-implement the logic
for understanding the many file formats.
Teach git send-email a new option, --translate-aliases, which will
enable this functionality. Similar to --dump-aliases, this option works
like a new mode of operation for git send-email.
When run with --translate-aliases, git send-email reads from standard
input and converts any provided alias into its canonical name and email
according to the alias file. Each expanded name and address is printed
to standard output, one per line.

Similar to the preceding commit, introduce a new "init.defaultRefFormat"
config that allows the user to globally set the ref storage format used
by newly created repositories.

The object format for repositories can either be configured explicitly
by passing the `--object-format=` option to git-init(1) or git-clone(1),
or globally by setting the `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH` environment variable.
While the former makes sense, setting random environment variables is
not really a good user experience in case someone decides to only use
SHA256 repositories.
It is only natural to expect for a user that things like this can also
be configured via their config. As such, introduce a new config
"init.defaultObjectFormat", similar to "init.defaultBranch", that allows
the user to configure the default object format when creating new repos.
The precedence order now is the following, where the first one wins:
1. The `--object-format=` switch.
2. The `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH` environment variable.
3. The `init.defaultObjectFormat` config variable.
This matches the typical precedence order we use in Git. We typically
let the environment override the config such that the latter can easily
be overridden on an ephemeral basis, for example by scripts.

In the past, we used to execute `git gc --auto` as part of our automatic
housekeeping routines. As git-gc(1) may require quite some time to
perform the housekeeping, it knows to detach itself and run in the
background so that the user can continue their work.
Eventually, we refactored our automatic housekeeping to instead use the
more flexible git-maintenance(1) command. The upside of this new infra
is that the user can configure which maintenance tasks are performed, at
least to a certain degree. So while it continues to run git-gc(1) by
default, it can also be adapted to e.g. use git-multi-pack-index(1) for
maintenance of the object database.
The auto-detach of the new infra is somewhat broken though once the user
configures non-standard tasks. The problem is essentially that we detach
at the wrong level in the process hierarchy: git-maintenance(1) never
detaches itself, but instead it continues to be git-gc(1) which does.
When configured to only run the git-gc(1) maintenance task, then the
result is basically the same as before. But when configured to run other
tasks, then git-maintenance(1) will wait for these to run to completion.
Even worse, it may be that git-gc(1) runs concurrently with other
housekeeping tasks, stomping on each others feet.
Fix this bug by asking git-gc(1) to not detach when it is being invoked
via git-maintenance(1). Instead, git-maintenance(1) now respects a new
config "maintenance.autoDetach", the equivalent of "gc.autoDetach", and
detaches itself into the background when running as part of our auto
maintenance. This should continue to behave the same for all users which
use the git-gc(1) task, only. For others though, it means that we now
properly perform all tasks in the background. The default behaviour of
git-maintenance(1) when executed by the user does not change, it will
remain in the foreground unless they pass the `--detach` option.

When running `git gc --auto`, the command will by default detach and
continue running in the background. This behaviour can be tweaked via
the `gc.autoDetach` config, but not via a command line switch. We need
that in a subsequent commit though, where git-maintenance(1) will want
to ask its git-gc(1) child process to not detach anymore.
Add a `--[no-]detach` flag that does this for us.

command to mention support for the new property. Also capitalize the

The previous change introduced the get_branch_base_for_tip() method in
commit-reach.c. The motivation of that change was about using a heuristic to
deteremine the base branch for a source commit from a list of candidate
commit tips. This change makes that algorithm visible to users via a new
atom in the 'git for-each-ref' format. This change is very similar to the
chang in 49abcd21da (for-each-ref: add ahead-behind format atom,
2023-03-20).
Introduce the 'is-base:<source>' atom, which will indicate that the
algorithm should be computed and the result of the algorithm is reported
using an indicator of the form '(<source>)'. For example, using
'%(is-base:HEAD)' would result in one line having the token '(HEAD)'.
Use the sorted order of refs included in the ref filter to break ties in the
algorithm's heuristic. In the previous change, the motivating examples
include using an L0 trunk, long-lived L1 branches, and temporary release
branches. A caller could communicate the ordered preference among these
categories using the input refpecs and avoiding a different sort mechanism.
This sorting behavior is tested in the test scripts.
It is important to include this atom as a special case to
can_do_iterative_format() to match the expectations created in bd98f9774e
(ref-filter.c: filter & format refs in the same callback, 2023-11-14). The
ahead-behind atom was one of the special cases, and this similarly requires
using an algorithm across all input refs before starting the format of any
single ref.
In the test script, the format tokens use colons or lack whitespace to avoid
Git complaining about trailing whitespace errors.

The git-fsck(1) only implicitly checks the reference, it does not fully
check refs with bad format name such as standalone "@".
However, a file ending with ".lock" should not be marked as having a bad
ref name. It is expected that concurrent writers may have such lock files.
We currently ignore this situation. But for bare ".lock" file, we will
report it as error.
In order to provide such checks, add a new fsck message id "badRefName"
with default ERROR type. Use existing "check_refname_format" to explicit
check the ref name. And add a new unit test to verify the functionality.

Introduce a new subcommand "verify" in git-refs(1) to allow the user to
check the reference database consistency and also this subcommand will
be used as the entry point of checking refs for "git-fsck(1)".
Add "verbose" field into "fsck_options" to indicate whether we should
print verbose messages when checking refs and objects consistency.
Remove bit-field for "strict" field, this is because we cannot take
address of a bit-field which makes it unhandy to set member variables
when parsing the command line options.
The "git-fsck(1)" declares "fsck_options" variable with "static"
identifier which avoids complaint by the leak-checker. However, in
"git-refs verify", we need to do memory clean manually. Thus add
"fsck_options_clear" function in "fsck.c" to provide memory clean
operation.
