git-whatchanged(1) is deprecated and you need to pass
`--i-still-use-this` in order to force it to work as before.
There are two affected users, or usages:
1. people who use the command in scripts; and
2. people who are used to using it interactively.
For (1) the replacement is straightforward.[1] But people in (2) might
like the name or be really used to typing it.[3]
An obvious first thought is to suggest aliasing `whatchanged` to the
git-log(1) equivalent.[1] But this doesn’t work and is awkward since you
cannot shadow builtins via aliases.
Now you are left in an uncomfortable limbo; your alias won’t work until
the command is removed for good.
Let’s lift this limitation by allowing *deprecated* builtins to be
shadowed by aliases.
The only observed demand for aliasing has been for git-whatchanged(1),
not for git-pack-redundant(1). But let’s be consistent and treat all
deprecated commands the same.

git log --raw --no-merges

We are about to complicate the command handling by allowing *deprecated*
builtins to be shadowed by aliases. We need to organize the code in
order to facilitate that.[1]
The code in the `while(1)` speculatively adds commands to the list
before finding out if it’s an alias. Let’s instead move it inside
`handle_alias(...)`—where it conceptually belongs anyway—and in turn
only run this logic when we have found an alias.[2]
[1]: We will do that with an additional call to `handle_alias(1)` inside
the loop. *Not* moving this code leaves a blind spot; we will miss
alias looping crafted via deprecated builtin names

Git experts often check the help summary of a command to make sure they
spell options right when suggesting advice to colleagues. Further, they
might check hidden options when responding to queries about deprecated
options like git-rebase(1)'s "preserve merges" option. But some commands
don't support "--help-all" outside of a git directory. Running (for
example)
git rebase --help-all
outside a directory fails in "setup_git_directory", erroring with the
localized form of
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
Like 99caeed05d (Let 'git <command> -h' show usage without a git dir,
2009-11-09), we want to show the "--help-all" output even without a git
dir. Make "--help-all" where we expect "-h" to mean
"setup_git_directory_gently", and interpose early in the natural place
("show_usage_with_options_if_asked").
Do the same for usage callers with show_usage_if_asked.
The exception is merge-recursive, whose help block doesn't use newer
APIs.

Builtin commands show usage information on stdout if called with -h as
their only option, usage.c::show_usage_if_asked() makes sure of that.
Aliases show alias information on stderr if called with -h as the first
option since a9a60b94cc (git.c: handle_alias: prepend alias info when
first argument is -h, 2018-10-09). This is surprising when using
aliases for commands that take -h as a normal argument among others,
like git grep.
Tighten the condition and show the alias information only if -h is the
only option given, to be consistent with builtins.
It's probably still is a good idea to write to stderr, as an alias
command doesn't have to be a builtin and could instead produce output
with just -h that might be spoiled by an extra alias info line.

Through git-diff(1), a single diff can be generated from a pair of blob
revisions directly. Unfortunately, there is not a mechanism to compute
batches of specific file pair diffs in a single process. Such a feature
is particularly useful on the server-side where diffing between a large
set of changes is not feasible all at once due to timeout concerns.
To facilitate this, introduce git-diff-pairs(1) which acts as a backend
passing its NUL-terminated raw diff format input from stdin through diff
machinery to produce various forms of output such as patch or raw.
The raw format was originally designed as an interchange format and
represents the contents of the diff_queued_diff list making it possible
to break the diff pipeline into separate stages. For example,
git-diff-tree(1) can be used as a frontend to compute file pairs to
queue and feed its raw output to git-diff-pairs(1) to compute patches.
With this, batches of diffs can be progressively generated without
having to recompute renames or retrieve object context. Something like
the following:
git diff-tree -r -z -M $old $new |
git diff-pairs -p -z
should generate the same output as `git diff-tree -p -M`. Furthermore,
each line of raw diff formatted input can also be individually fed to a
separate git-diff-pairs(1) process and still produce the same output.

While `help_unknown_cmd()` would usually die on an unknown command, it
instead returns an autocorrected command when "help.autocorrect" is set.
But while the function is declared to return a string constant, it
actually returns an allocated string in that case. Callers thus aren't
aware that they have to free the string, leading to a memory leak.
Fix the function return type to be non-constant and free the returned
value at its only callsite.
Note that we cannot simply take ownership of `main_cmds.names[0]->name`
and then eventually free it. This is because the `struct cmdname` is
using a flex array to allocate the name, so the name pointer points into
the middle of the structure and thus cannot be freed.

In `handle_alias()` we use both `argcp` and `argv` as in-out parameters.
Callers mostly pass through the static array from `main()`, but once we
handle an alias we replace it with an allocated array that may contain
some allocated strings. Callers do not handle this scenario at all and
thus leak memory.
We could in theory handle the lifetime of `argv` in a hacky fashion by
letting callers free it in case they see that an alias was handled. But
while that would likely work, we still wouldn't be able to easily handle
the lifetime of strings referenced by `argv`.
Refactor the code to instead use a `struct strvec`, which effectively
removes the need for us to manually track lifetimes.

The current code in run_builtin() passes in a repository to the builtin
based on whether cmd_struct's option flag has RUN_SETUP.
This is incorrect, however, since some builtins that only have
RUN_SETUP_GENTLY can potentially take a repository.
setup_git_directory_gently() tells us whether or not a command is being
run inside of a repository.
Use the output of setup_git_directory_gently() to help determine whether
or not there is a repository to pass to the builtin. If not, then we
just pass NULL.

before calling repo_git_config(), since add -h can be run outside of a

- We leak the `struct strvec` itself because we directly exit after

- Even if we free'd that vector we'd end up leaking some of its

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.

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

Several builtins depend on being able to disable the replace references
so we actually operate on each object individually. These currently do
so by directly mutating the 'read_replace_refs' global.
A future change will move this global into a different place, so it will
be necessary to change all of these lines. However, we can simplify that
transition by abstracting the purpose of these global assignments with a
method call.
We will need to keep this read_replace_refs global forever, as we want
to make sure that we never use replace refs throughout the life of the
process if this method is called. Future changes may present a
repository-scoped version of the variable to represent that repository's
core.useReplaceRefs config value, but a zero-valued read_replace_refs
will always override such a setting.

2023-01-14) taught "git check-attr" the "--source=<tree>" option to
allow it to read attribute files from a tree-ish, but did so only
for the command. Just like "check-attr" users wanted a way to use
attributes from a tree-ish and not from the working tree files,
users of other commands (like "git diff") would benefit from the
same.
Undo most of the UI change the commit made, while keeping the
internal logic to read attributes from a given tree-ish. Expose the
internal logic via a new "--attr-source=<tree>" command line option
given to "git", so that it can be used with any git command that
runs as part of the main git process.
Additionally, add an environment variable GIT_ATTR_SOURCE that is set
when --attr-source is passed in, so that subprocesses use the same value
for the attributes source tree.

"git sparse-checkout" command learns a debugging aid for the sparse
rule definitions.
* ws/sparse-check-rules:
builtin/sparse-checkout: add check-rules command
builtin/sparse-checkout: remove NEED_WORK_TREE flag
Dozens of files made use of trace and trace2 functions, without
explicitly including trace.h or trace2.h. This made it more difficult
to find which files could remove a dependence on cache.h. Make C files
explicitly include trace.h or trace2.h if they are using them.
