Currently it's very easy for the advice library's callers to miss
checking the visibility step before printing an advice. Also, it makes
more sense for this step to be handled by the advice library.
Add a new advise_if_enabled function that checks the visibility of
advice messages before printing.
Add a new helper advise_enabled to check the visibility of the advice
if the caller needs to carry out complicated processing based on that
value.
A list of advice_settings is added to cache the config variables names
and values, it's intended to replace advice_config[] and the global
variables once we migrate all the callers to use the new APIs.

Commit 9700fae5ee (for-each-ref: let upstream/push report the remote
ref name, 2017-11-07) added a remote_ref_for_branch() helper, which
is modeled after remote_for_branch(). This includes providing an
"explicit" out-parameter that tells the caller whether the remote
was configured by the user, or whether we picked a default name like
"origin".
But unlike remote names, there is no default name when the user
didn't configure one. The only way the "explicit" parameter is used
by the caller is to use the value returned from the helper when it
is set, and use an empty string otherwise, ignoring the returned
value from the helper.
Let's drop the "explicit" out-parameter, and return NULL when the
returned value from the helper should be ignored, to simplify the
function interface.

In d9c6469 (git-gui: update status bar to track operations, 2019-12-01)
the call to 'ui_status' in 'do_gitk' was updated to create the newly
introduced "status bar operation". This allowed this status text to show
along with other operations happening in parallel, and removed a race
between all these operations.
But in that refactor, the fact that 'ui_status' checks for the existence
of 'main_status' was overlooked. This leads to an error message popping
up when the user selects "Show History Context" from the blame window
context menu on a source line. The error occurs because when running
"blame" 'main_status' is not initialized.
So, add a check for the existence of 'main_status' in 'do_gitk'. This
fix reverts to the original behaviour. In the future, we might want to
look into a better way of telling 'do_gitk' which status bar to use.

When converting a repository using submodules from one hash algorithm to
another, it is necessary to rewrite the submodules from the old
algorithm to the new algorithm, since only references to submodules, not
their contents, are written to the fast-export stream. Without rewriting
the submodules, fast-import fails with an "Invalid dataref" error when
encountering a submodule in another algorithm.
Add a pair of options, --rewrite-submodules-from and
--rewrite-submodules-to, that take a list of marks produced by
fast-export and fast-import, respectively, when processing the
submodule. Use these marks to map the submodule commits from the old
algorithm to the new algorithm.
We read marks into two corresponding struct mark_set objects and then
perform a mapping from the old to the new using a hash table. This lets
us reuse the same mark parsing code that is used elsewhere and allows us
to efficiently read and match marks based on their ID, since mark files
need not be sorted.
Note that because we're using a khash table for the object IDs, and this
table copies values of struct object_id instead of taking references to
them, it's necessary to zero the struct object_id values that we use to
insert and look up in the table. Otherwise, we would end up with SHA-1
values that don't match because of whatever stack garbage might be left
in the unused area.

This reverts commit 72b006f4bf, which
breaks the end-user experience when merging a signed tag without
having the public key. We should report "can't check because we
have no public key", but the code with this change claimed that
there was no signature.
We recently triggered some -Wformat-zero-length warnings in the code,
but no developers noticed because we suppress that warning in builds
with the DEVELOPER=1 Makefile knob set. But we _don't_ suppress them in
a non-developer build (and they're part of -Wall). So even though
non-developers probably aren't using -Werror, they see the annoying
warnings when they build.
We've had back and forth discussion over the years on whether this
warning is useful or not. In most cases we've seen, it's not true that
the call is a mistake, since we're using its side effects (like adding a
newline status_printf_ln()) or writing an empty string to a destination
which is handled by the function (as in write_file()). And so we end up
working around it in the source by passing ("%s", "").
There's more discussion in the subthread starting at:
https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqtwaod7ly.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/
The short of it is that we probably can't just disable the warning for
everybody because of portability issues. And ignoring it for developers
puts us in the situation we're in now, where non-dev builds are annoyed.
Since the workaround is both rarely needed and fairly straight-forward,
let's just commit to doing it as necessary, and re-enable the warning.

Explanation
-----------
The problem here is flawed `poll()` implementation. When it tries to
see if pipe can be written without blocking, it eventually calls
`NtQueryInformationFile()` and tests `WriteQuotaAvailable`. However,
the meaning of quota was misunderstood. The value of quota is reduced
when either some data was written to a pipe, *or* there is a pending
read on the pipe. Therefore, if there is a pending read of size >= than
the pipe's buffer size, poll() will think that pipe is not writable and
will hang forever, usually that means deadlocking both pipe users.
I have studied the problem and found that Windows pipes track two values:
`QuotaUsed` and `BytesInQueue`. The code in `poll()` apparently wants to
know `BytesInQueue` instead of quota. Unfortunately, `BytesInQueue` can
only be requested from read end of the pipe, while `poll()` receives
write end.
The git's implementation of `poll()` was copied from gnulib, which also
contains a flawed implementation up to today.
I also had a look at implementation in cygwin, which is also broken in a
subtle way. It uses this code in `pipe_data_available()`:
fpli.WriteQuotaAvailable = (fpli.OutboundQuota - fpli.ReadDataAvailable)
However, `ReadDataAvailable` always returns 0 for the write end of the pipe,
turning the code into an obfuscated version of returning pipe's total
buffer size, which I guess will in turn have `poll()` always say that pipe
is writable. The commit that introduced the code doesn't say anything about
this change, so it could be some debugging code that slipped in.
These are the typical sizes used in git:
0x2000 - default read size in `strbuf_read()`
0x1000 - default read size in CRT, used by `strbuf_getwholeline()`
0x2000 - pipe buffer size in compat\mingw.c
As a consequence, as soon as child process uses `strbuf_read()`,
`poll()` in parent process will hang forever, deadlocking both
processes.
This results in two observable behaviors:
1) If parent process begins sending STDIN quickly (and usually that's
the case), then first `poll()` will succeed and first block will go
through. MAX_IO_SIZE_DEFAULT is 8MB, so if STDIN exceeds 8MB, then
it will deadlock.
2) If parent process waits a little bit for any reason (including OS
scheduler) and child is first to issue `strbuf_read()`, then it will
deadlock immediately even on small STDINs.
The problem is illustrated by `git stash push`, which will currently
read the entire patch into memory and then send it to `git apply` via
STDIN. If patch exceeds 8MB, git hangs on Windows.
Possible solutions
------------------
1) Somehow obtain `BytesInQueue` instead of `QuotaUsed`
I did a pretty thorough search and didn't find any ways to obtain
the value from write end of the pipe.
2) Also give read end of the pipe to `poll()`
That can be done, but it will probably invite some dirty code,
because `poll()`
* can accept multiple pipes at once
* can accept things that are not pipes
* is expected to have a well known signature.
3) Make `poll()` always reply "writable" for write end of the pipe
Afterall it seems that cygwin (accidentally?) does that for years.
Also, it should be noted that `pump_io_round()` writes 8MB blocks,
completely ignoring the fact that pipe's buffer size is only 8KB,
which means that pipe gets clogged many times during that single
write. This may invite a deadlock, if child's STDERR/STDOUT gets
clogged while it's trying to deal with 8MB of STDIN. Such deadlocks
could be defeated with writing less than pipe's buffer size per
round, and always reading everything from STDOUT/STDERR before
starting next round. Therefore, making `poll()` always reply
"writable" shouldn't cause any new issues or block any future
solutions.
4) Increase the size of the pipe's buffer
The difference between `BytesInQueue` and `QuotaUsed` is the size
of pending reads. Therefore, if buffer is bigger than size of reads,
`poll()` won't hang so easily. However, I found that for example
`strbuf_read()` will get more and more hungry as it reads large inputs,
eventually surpassing any reasonable pipe buffer size.
Chosen solution
---------------
Make `poll()` always reply "writable" for write end of the pipe.
Hopefully one day someone will find a way to implement it properly.
Reproduction
------------
printf "%8388608s" X >large_file.txt
git stash push --include-untracked -- large_file.txt
I have decided not to include this as test to avoid slowing down the
test suite. I don't expect the specific problem to come back, and
chances are that `git stash push` will be reworked to avoid sending the
entire patch via STDIN.

If a repository has two files:
foo/bar/baz
foo/bar-2/baz
then a simple lexicographic ordering of files and directories shows
...
foo/bar
foo/bar-2
foo/bar/baz
...
and the appearance of foo/bar-2 between foo/bar and foo/bar/baz can trip
up some codepaths. Add a test to catch such cases.
t6020 might be a slight misfit since this testcase does not test any
kind of file/directory conflict. However, it is similar in spirit to
some tests (4-6) already in t6020 that check cases where a *file* sorted
between a directory and the files underneath that directory. This
testcase differs in that now there is a *directory* that sorts in the
middle.
Although merge-recursive currently has no problems with this simple
testcase, I discovered that it's very possible to accidentally mess it
up. Further, we have no other merge or cherry-pick or rebase testcases
in the entire testsuite that cover such a case, so I felt like it would

Among other differences relative to GNU sed, macOS' sed always ends its
output with a trailing newline, even if the input did not have such a
trailing newline.
Surprisingly, this makes three httpd-based tests fail on macOS: t5616,
t5702 and t5703. ("Surprisingly" because those tests have been around
for some time, but apparently nobody runs them on macOS with a working
Apache2 setup.)
The reason is that we use `sed` in those tests to filter the response of
the web server. Apart from the fact that we use GNU constructs (such as
using a space after the `c` command instead of a backslash and a
newline), we have another problem: macOS' sed LF-only newlines while
webservers are supposed to use CR/LF ones.
Even worse, t5616 uses `sed` to replace a binary part of the response
with a new binary part (kind of hoping that the replaced binary part
does not contain a 0x0a byte which would be interpreted as a newline).
To that end, it calls on Perl to read the binary pack file and
hex-encode it, then calls on `sed` to prefix every hex digit pair with a
`\x` in order to construct the text that the `c` statement of the `sed`
invocation is supposed to insert. So we call Perl and sed to construct a
sed statement. The final nail in the coffin is that macOS' sed does not
even interpret those `\x<hex>` constructs.
Let's just replace all of that by Perl snippets. With Perl, at least, we
do not have to deal with GNU vs macOS semantics, we do not have to worry
about unwanted trailing newlines, and we do not have to spawn commands
to construct arguments for other commands to be spawned (i.e. we can
avoid a whole lot of shell scripting complexity).
The upshot is that this fixes t5616, t5702 and t5703 on macOS with
Apache2.

When searching the commit graph for tag candidates, `git-describe`
will stop as soon as there is only one active branch left and
it already found an annotated tag as a candidate.
This works well as long as all branches eventually connect back
to a common root, but if the tags are found across branches
with no common ancestor
B
o----.
\
o-----o---o----x
A
it can happen that the search on one branch terminates prematurely
because a tag was found on another, independent branch. This scenario
isn't quite as obscure as it sounds, since cloning with a limited
depth often introduces many independent "dead ends" into the commit
graph.
The help text of `git-describe` states pretty clearly that when
describing a commit D, the number appended to the emitted tag X should
correspond to the number of commits found by `git log X..D`.
Thus, this commit modifies the stopping condition to only abort
the search when only one branch is left to search *and* all current
best candidates are descendants from that branch.
For repositories with a single root, this condition is always
true: When the search is reduced to a single active branch, the
current commit must be an ancestor of *all* tag candidates. This
means that in the common case, this change will have no negative
performance impact since the same number of commits as before will
be traversed.
