The desired default behavior for `git_config_set` is to die
whenever an error occurs. Dying is the default for a lot of
internal functions when failures occur and is in this case the
right thing to do for most callers as otherwise we might run into
inconsistent repositories without noticing.
As some code may rely on the actual return values for
`git_config_set` we still require the ability to invoke these
functions without aborting. Rename the existing `git_config_set`
functions to `git_config_set_gently` to keep them available for

When `git clone` is asked to dissociate the repository from the
reference repository whose objects were used, it is quite possible that
the pack files need to be repacked. In that case, the pack files need to
be deleted that were originally hard-links to the reference repository's
pack files.
On platforms where a file cannot be deleted if another process still
holds a handle on it, we therefore need to take pains to release all
pack files and indexes before dissociating.

The get_repo_path function calls mkpath() and then does some
non-trivial operations on it, like calling
is_git_directory() and read_gitfile(). These are actually
OK (they do not use more pathname static buffers
themselves), but it takes a fair bit of work to verify.
Let's use our own strbuf to store the path, and we can
simply reuse it for each iteration of the loop (we can even
avoid rewriting the beginning part, since we are trying a
series of suffixes).
To make the strbuf cleanup easier, we split out a thin
wrapper. As a bonus, this wrapper can factor out the
canonicalization that happens in all of the early-return
code paths.

If the URI contains a port number and the URI's path component is

We need to take care to not drop trailing port-like numbers in
certain cases. E.g. when cloning a repository 'foo/bar:2222.git'
we want to guess the directory name '2222' instead of 'bar'.
Thus, we have to first check the stripped URI for path separators

Commit 7e837c6 (clone: simplify string handling in
guess_dir_name(), 2015-07-09) changed clone to use
strip_suffix instead of hand-rolled pointer manipulation.
However, strip_suffix will strip from the end of a
NUL-terminated string, and we may have already stripped some
characters (like directory separators, or "/.git"). This
leads to commands like:
git clone host:foo.git/
failing to strip the ".git".
We must instead convert our pointer arithmetic into a
computed length and feed that to strip_suffix_mem, which will
then reduce the length further for us.
It would be nicer if we could drop the pointer manipulation
entirely, and just continually strip using strip_suffix. But
that doesn't quite work for two reasons:
1. The early suffixes we're stripping are not constant; we
need to look for is_dir_sep, which could be one of
several characters.
2. Mid-way through the stripping we compute the pointer
"start", which shows us the beginning of the pathname.
Which really give us two lengths to work with: the
offset from the start of the string, and from the start
of the path. By using pointers for the early part, we
can just compute the length from "start" when we need
it.

"git clone" uses shortcuts when creating the initial set of
references:
* It writes them directly to packed-refs.
* It doesn't lock the individual references (though it does lock the
packed-refs file).
* It doesn't check for refname conflicts between two new references or
between one new reference and any hypothetical old ones.
* It doesn't create reflog entries for the reference creations.
This functionality was implemented in builtin/clone.c. But really that
file shouldn't have such intimate knowledge of how references are
stored. So provide a new function in the refs API,
initial_ref_transaction_commit(), which can be used for initial
reference creation. The new function is based on the ref_transaction
interface.
This means that we can make some other functions private to the refs
module. That will be done in a followup commit.
It would seem to make sense to add a test here that there are no
existing references, because that is how the function *should* be
used. But in fact, the "testgit" remote helper appears to call it
*after* having set up refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD and
refs/remotes/<name>/master, so we can't be so strict. For now, the
function trusts its caller to only call it when it makes sense. Future
commits will add some more limited sanity checks.

If clone fails, we generally try to clean up any directories
we've created. We do this by installing an atexit handler,
so that we don't have to manually trigger cleanup. However,
since we install this after touching the filesystem, any
errors between our initial mkdir() and our atexit() call
will result in us leaving a crufty directory around.
We can fix this by moving our atexit() call earlier. It's OK
to do it before the junk_work_tree variable is set, because
remove_junk makes sure the variable is initialized. This
means we "activate" the handler by assigning to the
junk_work_tree variable, which we now bump down to just
after we call mkdir(). We probably do not want to do it
before, because a plausible reason for mkdir() to fail is
EEXIST (i.e., we are racing with another "git init"), and we
would not want to remove their work.
OTOH, this is probably not that big a deal; we will allow
cloning into an empty directory (and skip the mkdir), which
is already racy (i.e., one clone may see the other's empty
dir and start writing into it). Still, it does not hurt to
err on the side of caution here.
Note that writing into junk_work_tree and junk_git_dir after
installing the handler is also technically racy, as we call
our handler on an async signal. Depending on the platform,
we could see a sheared write to the variables. Traditionally
we have not worried about this, and indeed we already do
this later in the function. If we want to address that, it
can come as a separate topic.

While use of the --reference option to borrow objects from an

reduce traffic when cloning a project over the network, it makes the
resulting "borrowing" repository dependent on the "borrowed"
repository. After running
git clone --reference=P $URL Q

P disappears.
The way to allow the borrowed repository to be removed is to repack
the borrowing repository (i.e. run "git repack -a -d" in Q); while
power users may know it very well, it is not easily discoverable.

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);

Cloning from a shallow repository does not follow the "8 steps for new
.git/shallow" because if it does we need to get through step 6 for all
refs. That means commit walking down to the bottom.
Instead the rule to create .git/shallow is simpler and, more
importantly, cheap: if a shallow commit is found in the pack, it's
probably used (i.e. reachable from some refs), so we add it. Others
are dropped.
One may notice this method seems flawed by the word "probably". A
shallow commit may not be reachable from any refs at all if it's
attached to an object island (a group of objects that are not
reachable by any refs).
If that object island is not complete, a new fetch request may send
more objects to connect it to some ref. At that time, because we
incorrectly installed the shallow commit in this island, the user will
not see anything after that commit (fsck is still ok). This is not
desired.
Given that object islands are rare (C Git never sends such islands for
security reasons) and do not really harm the repository integrity, a
tradeoff is made to surprise the user occasionally but work faster
everyday.
A new option --strict could be added later that follows exactly the 8
steps. "git prune" can also learn to remove dangling objects _and_ the
shallow commits that are attached to them from .git/shallow.

A clone will always create a transport struct, whether we
are cloning locally or using an actual protocol. In the
local case, we only use the transport to get the list of
refs, and then transfer the objects out-of-band.
However, there are many options that we do not bother
setting up in the local case. For the most part, these are
noops, because they only affect the object-fetching stage
(e.g., the --depth option). However, some options do have a
visible impact. For example, giving the path to upload-pack
via "-u" does not currently work for a local clone, even
though we need upload-pack to get the ref list.
We can just drop the conditional entirely and set these
options for both local and non-local clones. Rather than
keep track of which options impact the object versus the ref
fetching stage, we can simply let the noops be noops (and
the cost of setting the options in the first place is not
high).
The one exception is that we also check that the transport
provides both a "get_refs_list" and a "fetch" method. We
will now be checking the former for both cases (which is
good, since a transport that cannot fetch refs would not
work for a local clone), and we tweak the conditional to
check for a "fetch" only when we are non-local.

When stderr does not point to a tty, we typically suppress

The new "checking connectivity" message is in the same vein,

peek at the "progress" field of the transport struct. That
properly takes into account both the verbosity and progress
options we were given, as well as the result of isatty().
Note that we do not set up that progress flag for a local

whether stderr produced any output. Instead, have it
look for "%", a token found in progress output but not

Commit 0433ad1 (clone: run check_everything_connected,
2013-03-25) added the same connectivity check to clone that
we use for fetching. The intent was to provide enough safety
checks that "git clone git://..." could be counted on to
detect bit errors and other repo corruption, and not
silently propagate them to the clone.
For local clones, this turns out to be a bad idea, for two
reasons:
1. Local clones use hard linking (or even shared object
stores), and so complete far more quickly. The time
spent on the connectivity check is therefore
proportionally much more painful.
2. Local clones do not actually meet our safety guarantee
anyway. The connectivity check makes sure we have all
of the objects we claim to, but it does not check for
bit errors. We will notice bit errors in commits and
trees, but we do not load blob objects at all. Whereas
over the pack transport, we actually recompute the sha1
of each object in the incoming packfile; bit errors
change the sha1 of the object, which is then caught by
the connectivity check.
This patch drops the connectivity check in the local case.
Note that we have to revert the changes from 0433ad1 to
t5710, as we no longer notice the corruption during clone.
We could go a step further and provide a "verify even local
clones" option, but it is probably not worthwhile. You can
already spell that as "cd foo.git && git fsck && git clone ."
or as "git clone --no-local foo.git".

Fix a typo ("remote remote-tracking") going back to the big cleanup
in 2010 (8b3f3f84 etc). Also, remove some more occurrences of
"tracking" and "remote tracking" in favor of "remote-tracking".
