The "oid-array" test helper can supposedly work without a Git
repository, but will in fact crash because `the_repository->hash_algo`
is not initialized. This is because `oid_pos()`, which is used by
`oid_array_lookup()`, depends on `the_hash_algo->rawsz`.
Ideally, we'd adapt `oid_pos()` to not depend on `the_hash_algo`
anymore. That is a bigger untertaking though, so instead we fall back to
SHA1 when there is no repository.

The `object_info()` function of the partial-clone helper is responsible
for checking the object ID of a repository other than `the_repository`.
We use `parse_oid_hex()` in this function though, which means that we
still depend on `the_repository->hash_algo`.
Fix this by using the object hash of the function-local repository.

The IPC socket used by the fsmonitor on Darwin is usually contained in
the Git repository itself. When the repository is hosted on a networked
filesystem though, we instead create the socket path in the user's home
directory or the socket directory. In that case, we derive the path by
hashing the repository path.
But while we always use SHA1 to hash the repository path, we then end up
using `hash_to_hex()` to append the computed hash to the socket path.
This is wrong because `hash_to_hex()` uses the hash algorithm configured
in `the_repository`, which may not be SHA1. The consequence is that we
may append uninitialized bytes to the path when operating in a SHA256
repository.
Fix this bug by using `hash_to_hex_algop()` with SHA1.

The git-http-fetch(1) command accepts a `--packfile=` option, which
allows the user to specify that it shall fetch a specific packfile,
only. The parameter here is the hash of the packfile, which is specific
to the object hash used by the repository. This requirement is implicit
though via our use of `parse_oid_hex()`, which internally uses
`the_repository`.
The git-http-fetch(1) command allows for there to be no repository
though, which only exists such that we can show usage via the "-h"
option. In that case though, starting with c8aed5e8da (repository: stop
setting SHA1 as the default object hash, 2024-05-07), `the_repository`
does not have its object hash initialized anymore and thus we would
crash when trying to parse the object ID outside of a repository.
Fix this issue by dying immediately when we see a "--packfile="
parameter when outside a Git repository. This is not a functional
regression as we would die later on with the same error anyway.
Add a test to detect the segfault. We use the "nongit" function to do
so, which we need to allow-list in `test_must_fail ()`.

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.

With the preceding commit, the hash array of object IDs is now fully
zero-padded even when the hash algorithm's output is smaller than the
array length. With that, we can now adapt both `oidcmp()` and `oideq()`
to unconditionally memcmp(3P) the whole array instead of depending on
the hash size.
While it may feel inefficient to compare unused bytes for e.g. SHA-1, in
practice the compiler should now be able to produce code that is better
optimized both because we have no branch anymore, but also because the
size to compare is now known at compile time. Goldbolt spits out the
following assembly on an x86_64 platform with GCC 14.1 for the old and
new implementations of `oidcmp()`:
oidcmp_old:
movsx rax, DWORD PTR [rdi+32]
test eax, eax
jne .L2
mov rax, QWORD PTR the_repository[rip]

only ends setting up `edx` for `memcmp()` and then calling it.

Interestingly, the compiler decides to split the comparisons into two so
that it first compares the lower half of the object ID for equality and
then the upper half. If the first check shows a difference, then we
wouldn't even end up comparing the second half.
In both cases, the new generated code is significantly shorter and has
way less branches. While I didn't benchmark the change, I'd be surprised
if the new code was slower.

The `oidcmp()` and `oideq()` functions only compare the prefix length as
specified by the given hash algorithm. This mandates that the object IDs
have a valid hash algorithm set, or otherwise we wouldn't be able to
figure out that prefix. As we do not have a hash algorithm in many
cases, for example when handling null object IDs, this assumption cannot
always be fulfilled. We thus have a fallback in place that instead uses
`the_repository` to derive the hash function. This implicit dependency
is hidden away from callers and can be quite surprising, especially in
contexts where there may be no repository.
In theory, we can adapt those functions to always memcmp(3P) the whole
length of their hash arrays. But there exist a couple of sites where we
populate `struct object_id`s such that only the prefix of its hash that
is actually used by the hash algorithm is populated. The remaining bytes
are left uninitialized. The fact that those bytes are uninitialized also
leads to warnings under Valgrind in some places where we copy those
bytes.
Refactor callsites where we populate object IDs to always initialize all
bytes. This also allows us to get rid of `oidcpy_with_padding()`, for
one because the input is now fully initialized, and because `oidcpy()`
will now always copy the whole hash array.

Many of our hash functions have two variants, one receiving a `struct

of those functions to always require the hash algorithm as input and
drop the variants that do not accept one.
As those functions are now independent of `the_repository`, we can move
them from "hash.h" to "hash-ll.h".
Note that both in this and subsequent commits in this series we always
just pass `the_repository->hash_algo` as input even if it is obvious
that there is a repository in the context that we should be using the
hash from instead. This is done to be on the safe side and not introduce
any regressions. All callsites should eventually be amended to use a

Introduce a new command that allows the user to migrate a repository
between ref storage formats. This new command is implemented as part of
a new git-refs(1) executable. This is due to two reasons:
- There is no good place to put the migration logic in existing
commands. git-maintenance(1) felt unwieldy, and git-pack-refs(1) is
not the correct place to put it, either.
- I had it in my mind to create a new low-level command for accessing
refs for quite a while already. git-refs(1) is that command and can
over time grow more functionality relating to refs. This should help
discoverability by consolidating low-level access to refs into a
single executable.
As mentioned in the preceding commit that introduces the ref storage
format migration logic, the new `git refs migrate` command still has a
bunch of restrictions. These restrictions are documented accordingly.

With the introduction of the new "reftable" backend, users may want to
migrate repositories between the backends without having to recreate the
whole repository. Add the logic to do so.
The implementation is generic and works with arbitrary ref storage
formats so that a backend does not need to implement any migration
logic. It does have a few limitations though:
- We do not migrate repositories with worktrees, because worktrees
have separate ref storages. It makes the overall affair more complex
if we have to migrate multiple storages at once.
- We do not migrate reflogs, because we have no interfaces to write
many reflog entries.
- We do not lock the repository for concurrent access, and thus
concurrent writes may end up with weird in-between states. There is
no way to fully lock the "files" backend for writes due to its
format, and thus we punt on this topic altogether and defer to the
user to avoid those from happening.
In other words, this version is a minimum viable product for migrating a
repository's ref storage format. It works alright for bare repos, which
often have neither worktrees nor reflogs. But it will not work for many
other repositories without some preparations. These limitations are not
set into stone though, and ideally we will eventually address them over
time.
The logic is not yet used by anything, and thus there are no tests for
it. Those will be added in the next commit.

In `get_worktree_ref_store()` we either return the repository's main ref
store, or we look up the ref store via the map of worktree ref stores.
Which of these worktrees gets picked depends on the `is_current` bit of
the worktree, which indicates whether the worktree is the one that
corresponds to `the_repository`.
The bit is getting set in `get_worktrees()`, but only after we have
computed the list of all worktrees. This is too late though, because at
that time we have already called `get_worktree_ref_store()` on each of
the worktrees via `add_head_info()`. The consequence is that the current
worktree will not have been marked accordingly, which means that we did
not use the main ref store, but instead created a new ref store. We thus
have two separate ref stores now that map to the same ref database.
