No callers pass in anything but "0" here. Likewise to our sibling
functions. Note that some of them ferry along the flag, but none of
their callers pass anything but "0" either.
Nor is anybody likely to change that. Callers which really want to see
all of the raw refs use for_each_rawref(). And anybody interested in
iterating a subset of the refs will likely be happy to use the
now-default behavior of showing broken refs, but omitting dangling
symlinks.
So we can get rid of this whole feature.

git rev-parse has several options which print various paths. Some of
these paths are printed relative to the current working directory, and
some are absolute.
Normally, this is not a problem, but there are times when one wants
paths entirely in one format or another. This can be done trivially if
the paths are canonical, but canonicalizing paths is not possible on
some shell scripting environments which lack realpath(1) and also in Go,
which lacks functions that properly canonicalize paths on Windows.
To help out the scripter, let's provide an option which turns most of
the paths printed by git rev-parse to be either relative to the current
working directory or absolute and canonical. Document which options are
affected and which are not so that users are not confused.
This approach is cleaner and tidier than providing duplicates of
existing options which are either relative or absolute.
Note that if the user needs both forms, it is possible to pass an
additional option in the middle of the command line which changes the
behavior of subsequent operations.

We taught rev-list a new way to separate options from revisions in
19e8789b23 (revision: allow --end-of-options to end option parsing,
2019-08-06), but rev-parse uses its own parser. It should know about
--end-of-options not only for consistency, but because it may be
presented with similarly ambiguous cases. E.g., if a caller does:
git rev-parse "$rev" -- "$path"
to parse an untrusted input, then it will get confused if $rev contains
an option-like string like "--local-env-vars". Or even "--not-real",
which we'd keep as an option to pass along to rev-list.
Or even more importantly:
git rev-parse --verify "$rev"
can be confused by options, even though its purpose is safely parsing
untrusted input. On the plus side, it will always fail the --verify
part, as it will not have parsed a revision, so the caller will
generally "fail closed" rather than continue to use the untrusted
string. But it will still trigger whatever option was in "$rev"; this
should be mostly harmless, since rev-parse options are all read-only,
but I didn't carefully audit all paths.
This patch lets callers write:
git rev-parse --end-of-options "$rev" -- "$path"
and:
git rev-parse --verify --end-of-options "$rev"
which will both treat "$rev" always as a revision parameter. The latter
is a bit clunky. It would be nicer if we had defined "--verify" to
require that its next argument be the revision. But we have not
historically done so, and:
git rev-parse --verify -q "$rev"
does currently work. I added a test here to confirm that we didn't break
that.
A few implementation notes:
- We don't document --end-of-options explicitly in commands, but rather
in gitcli(7). So I didn't give it its own section in git-rev-parse(1).
But I did call it out specifically in the --verify section, and
include it in the examples, which should show best practices.
- We don't have to re-indent the main option-parsing block, because we
can combine our "did we see end of options" check with "does it start
with a dash". The exception is the pre-setup options, which need
their own block.
- We do however have to pull the "--" parsing out of the "does it start
with dash" block, because we want to parse it even if we've seen
--end-of-options.
- We'll leave "--end-of-options" in the output. This is probably not
technically necessary, as a careful caller will do:
git rev-parse --end-of-options $revs -- $paths
and anything in $revs will be resolved to an object id. However, it
does help a slightly less careful caller like:
git rev-parse --end-of-options $revs_or_paths
where a path "--foo" will remain in the output as long as it also
exists on disk. In that case, it's helpful to retain --end-of-options
to get passed along to rev-list, s it would otherwise see just
"--foo".

The option-parsing loop of rev-parse checks whether the first character
of an arg is "-". If so, then it enters a series of conditionals
checking for individual options. But some options are inexplicably
outside of that outer conditional.
This doesn't produce the wrong behavior; the conditional is actually
redundant with the individual option checks, and it's really only its
fallback "continue" that we care about. But we should at least be
consistent.
One obvious alternative is that we could get rid of the conditional
entirely. But we'll be using the extra block it provides in the next
patch.

Because of the order in which we check options in rev-parse, there are a
few options we accept even after a "--". This is wrong, because the
whole point of "--" is to say "everything after here is a path". Let's
move the "did we see a dashdash" check (it's called "as_is" in the code)
to the top of the parsing loop.
Note there is one subtlety here. The options are ordered so that some
are checked before we even see if we're in a repository (they continue
the loop, and if we get past a certain point, then we do the repository
setup). By moving the as_is check higher, it's also in that "before
setup" section, even though it might look at the repository via
verify_filename(). However, this works out: we'd never set as_is until
we parse "--", and we don't parse that until after doing the setup.
An alternative here to avoid the subtlety is to put the as_is check at
the top of the post-setup options. But then every pre-setup option would
have to remember to check "if (!as_is && !strcmp(...))". So while this
is a bit magical, it's harder for future code to get wrong.

When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch
not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this:
git clone $URL client
cd client
git checkout @{u}
git status
no status is printed, but instead an error message:
fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch
(This error message when running "git branch" persists even after
checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.)
This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD
detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't
work because HEAD no longer points to a branch.
Therefore, when calculating the status of a worktree, tolerate dangling
marks. This is done by adding an additional parameter to
dwim_ref() and repo_dwim_ref().

There are many functions in commit.h that are more related to shallow

Likely this began when there were only a few shallow-related functions,

But, now there are a good number of shallow-related functions, and

This patch extracts a 'shallow.h', which takes all of the declarations

Ever since it was introduced in 7cceca5ccc (Add 'git rev-parse

treated a missing working tree as a quiet success: it neither prints a
toplevel path, but nor does it report any kind of error.
While a caller could distinguish this case by looking for an empty
response, the behavior is rather confusing. We're better off complaining
that there is no working tree, as other internal commands would do in
similar cases (e.g., "git status" or any builtin with NEED_WORK_TREE set

The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static
storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already
fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the
calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to
confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once
in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from
parse_chunk()).
Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return
value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is
empty (and we could just return the original file pointer).
That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't
otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in
performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_
allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about
performance is questionable anyway).
The downside is that the callers need to remember to free()
the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used
xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The
remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate.
I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases
where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the
cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases,
though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying
about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any

All of these options do the same thing "--foo" iterates over

repeating ourselves.
There are two subtleties to note:
- the original called for_each_branch_ref(), etc, in the
non-glob case. Now we will call for_each_ref_in("refs/heads/")
which is exactly what for_each_branch_ref() did under
the hood.
- for --glob, we'll call for_each_glob_ref_in() with a
NULL "prefix" argument. Which is exactly what
for_each_glob_ref() was doing already.
So both cases should behave identically, and it seems

On the face of it, there is no obvious bug in that commit's diff: it
faithfully calls git_path() on the argument and prints it out, i.e. `git
rev-parse --git-path <filename>` has the same precise behavior as
calling `git_path("<filename>")` in C.
The problem lies deeper, much deeper. In hindsight (which is always
unfair), implementing the .git/ directory discovery in
`setup_git_directory()` by changing the working directory may have
allowed us to avoid passing around a struct that contains information
about the current repository, but it bought us many, many problems.
In this case, when being called in a subdirectory, `git rev-parse`
changes the working directory to the top-level directory before calling
`git_path()`. In the new working directory, the result is correct. But
in the working directory of the calling script, it is incorrect.
Example: when calling `git rev-parse --git-path HEAD` in, say, the
Documentation/ subdirectory of Git's own source code, the string
`.git/HEAD` is printed.
Side note: that bug is hidden when running in a subdirectory of a
worktree that was added by the `git worktree` command: in that case, the
(correct) absolute path of the `HEAD` file is printed.
In the interest of time, this patch does not go the "correct" route to
introduce a struct with repository information (and removing global
state in the process), instead this patch chooses to detect when the
command was called in a subdirectory and forces the result to be an
absolute path.
While at it, we are also fixing the output of --git-common-dir and
--shared-index-path.
Lastly, please note that we reuse the same strbuf for all of the
relative_path() calls; this avoids frequent allocation (and duplicated
code), and it does not risk memory leaks, for two reasons: 1) the
cmd_rev_parse() function does not return anywhere between the use of
the new strbuf instance and its final release, and 2) git-rev-parse is
one of these "one-shot" programs in Git, i.e. it exits after running
for a very short time, meaning that all allocated memory is released
with the exit() call anyway.

The output of 'git rev-parse --git-dir' can be either a relative or an
absolute path, depending on whether the current working directory is
at the top of the worktree or the .git directory or not, or how the
path to the repository is specified via the '--git-dir=<path>' option
or the $GIT_DIR environment variable. And if that output is a
relative path, then it is relative to the directory where any 'git
-C <path>' options might have led us.
This doesn't matter at all for regular scripts, because the git
wrapper automatically takes care of changing directories according to
the '-C <path>' options, and the scripts can then simply follow any
path returned by 'git rev-parse --git-dir', even if it's a relative
path.
Our Bash completion script, however, is unique in that it must run
directly in the user's interactive shell environment. This means that
it's not executed through the git wrapper and would have to take care
of any '-C <path> options on its own, and it can't just change
directories as it pleases. Consequently, adding support for taking
any '-C <path>' options on the command line into account during
completion turned out to be considerably more difficult, error prone
and required more subshells and git processes when it had to cope with
a relative path to the .git directory.
Help this rather special use case and teach 'git rev-parse' a new
'--absolute-git-dir' option which always outputs a canonicalized
absolute path to the .git directory, regardless of whether the path is
discovered automatically or is specified via $GIT_DIR or 'git
--git-dir=<path>'.

The try_parent_shorthands() function shows each parent via
show_rev(). We pass the correct parent sha1, but our "name"
parameter still points at the original refname. So asking
for a regular rev-parse works fine (it prints the sha1s),
but asking for the symbolic name gives nonsense like:
$ git rev-parse --symbolic HEAD^-1
HEAD
^HEAD
which is always an empty set of commits. Asking for "^!" is
likewise broken, with the added bonus that its prints ^HEAD
for _each_ parent. And "^@" just prints HEAD repeatedly.
Arguably it would be correct to just pass NULL as the name
here, and always get the parent expressed as a sha1. The
"--symbolic" documentaton claims only "as close to the
original input as possible", and we certainly fallback to
sha1s where necessary. But it's pretty easy to generate a
symbolic name on the fly from the original.

The code that sets custom abbreviation length, in response to
command line argument, often does something like this:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--abbrev=", &arg))
abbrev = atoi(arg);
else if (!strcmp("--abbrev", &arg))
abbrev = DEFAULT_ABBREV;
/* make the value sane */
if (abbrev < 0 || 40 < abbrev)
abbrev = ... some sane value ...
However, it is pointless to sanity-check and tweak the value
obtained from DEFAULT_ABBREV. We are going to allow it to be
initially set to -1 to signal that the default abbreviation length
must be auto sized upon the first request to abbreviate, based on
the number of objects in the repository, and when that happens,
rejecting or tweaking a negative value to a "saner" one will
negatively interfere with the auto sizing. The codepaths for
git rev-parse --short <object>
git diff --raw --abbrev
do exactly that; allow them to pass possibly negative abbrevs
intact, that will come from DEFAULT_ABBREV in the future.

"git log rev^..rev" is commonly used to show all work done on and merged
from a side branch. This patch introduces a shorthand "rev^-" for this
and additionally allows "rev^-$n" to mean "reachable from rev, excluding
what is reachable from the nth parent of rev". For example, for a
two-parent merge, you can use rev^-2 to get the set of commits which were
made to the main branch while the topic branch was prepared.

Replace uses of strbuf_addf() for adding strings with more lightweight
strbuf_addstr() calls.
In http-push.c it becomes easier to see what's going on without having
to verfiy that the definition of PROPFIND_ALL_REQUEST doesn't contain
any format specifiers.
