the documentation for the refspec structure was moved into refspec.h
This documentation refers to elements of the refspec_item, not the

There are two functions to get a single config string:
- git_config_get_string()
- git_config_get_string_const()
One might naively think that the first one allocates a new string and
the second one just points us to the internal configset storage. But
in fact they both allocate a new copy; the second one exists only to
avoid having to cast when using it with a const global which we never
intend to free.
The documentation for the function explains that clearly, but it seems
I'm not alone in being surprised by this. Of 17 calls to the function,
13 of them leak the resulting value.
We could obviously fix these by adding the appropriate free(). But it
would be simpler still if we actually had a non-allocating way to get
the string. There's git_config_get_value() but that doesn't quite do
what we want. If the config key is present but is a boolean with no
value (e.g., "[foo]bar" in the file), then we'll get NULL (whereas the
string versions will print an error and die).
So let's introduce a new variant, git_config_get_string_tmp(), that
behaves as these callers expect. We need a new name because we have new
semantics but the same function signature (so even if we converted the
four remaining callers, topics in flight might be surprised). The "tmp"
is because this value should only be held onto for a short time. In
practice it's rare for us to clear and refresh the configset,
invalidating the pointer, but hopefully the "tmp" makes callers think
about the lifetime. In each of the converted cases here the value only
needs to last within the local function or its immediate caller.

The prepare_to_clone_next_submodule() function has a few local-variable

buffers over and over. But at the end of the function we also use
strbuf_reset() as they go out of scope, which means we end up leaking
their heap buffers. This should be strbuf_release() instead.
These were introduced by 48308681b0 (git submodule update: have a

for background on this function. These labels are of the form
<commitID>... <commit summary>
or
parent of <commitID>... <commit summary>
These labels are then passed as branch names to the merge machinery.
However, these labels, as formatted, often also serve to confuse. For
example, if we have a rename involved in a content merge, then it
results in text such as the following:
<<<<<<<< HEAD:foo.c
int j;
========
int counter;
>>>>>>>> b01dface... Removed unnecessary stuff:bar.c
Or in various conflict messages, it can make it very difficult to read:
CONFLICT (rename/delete): foo.c deleted in b01dface... Removed
unnecessary stuff and renamed in HEAD. Version HEAD of foo.c left
in tree.
CONFLICT (file location): dir1/foo.c added in b01dface... Removed
unnecessary stuff inside a directory that was renamed in HEAD,
suggesting it should perhaps be moved to dir2/foo.c.
Make a minor change to remove the ellipses and add parentheses around
the commit summary; this makes all three examples much easier to read:
<<<<<<<< HEAD:foo.c
int j;
========
int counter;
>>>>>>>> b01dface (Removed unnecessary stuff):bar.c
CONFLICT (rename/delete): foo.c deleted in b01dface (Removed

'todo_list_write_to_file' may overwrite the static buffer, originating

'c' for "# Rebase a..b onto c" message in the todo editor. This is
because the buffer that is returned from 'find_unique_abbrev' is valid
until 4 more calls to `find_unique_abbrev` are made.
As 'todo_list_write_to_file' calls 'find_unique_abbrev' for each rebased
commit, the hash for 'c' is overwritten if there are 4 or more commits
in the rebase. This behavior has been broken since its introduction.
Fix by storing the short onto commit hash in a different buffer that

The third part of the Fortran xfuncname regex wants to match the

except `'`, `"` or whitespace before the keyword 'function' or
'subroutine'. This is meant to match the 'recursive', 'elemental' or
'pure' keywords, as well as function return types, and to prevent
matches inside strings.
However, the negated set does not contain the `!` comment character,

before leaving the cmd_ls_remote() function, which means we have to hit
all of the exits. But the point of UNLEAK() is that it's an annotation
which doesn't impact the variable itself. We can mark it as soon as
we're done writing its value, and then we only have to do so once.

After blame has finished but before we produce any output, we coalesce
groups of lines that were adjacent in the original suspect (which may
have been split apart by lines in intermediate commits which went away).
However, this can cause incorrect output if the lines are not also
adjacent in the result. For instance, the case in t8003 has:
ABC
DEF
which becomes
ABC
SPLIT
DEF
Blaming only lines 1 and 3 in the result yields two blame groups (one
for each line) that were adjacent in the original. That's enough for us
to coalesce them into a single group, but that loses information: our
output routines assume they're adjacent in the result as well, and we
output:
<oid> 1) ABC
<oid> 2) SPLIT
This is nonsense for two reasons:
- we were asked about line 3, not line 2; we should not output the
SPLIT line at all
- commit <oid> did not touch the SPLIT line at all! We found the
correct blame for line 3, but the bug is actually in the output
stage, which is showing the wrong line number and content from the
final file.
We can fix this by only coalescing when both the suspect and result
lines are adjacent. That fixes this bug, but keeps coalescing in cases
where want it (e.g., the existing test in t8003 where SPLIT goes away,
and the lines really are adjacent in the result).

Commit f0cbe742f4 (blame: add a test to cover blame_coalesce(),

groups of lines. But since it relies on the normal blame output, it only
exercises the code and can't tell whether the lines were actually
joined into a single group.
However, by using --porcelain output, we can see how git-blame considers
the groupings (and likewise how the coalescing might have a real
user-visible impact for a tool that uses the porcelain-output
groupings). This lets us confirm that we are indeed coalescing correctly
(and the fact that this test case requires coalescing can be verified by
dropping the call to blame_coalesce(), causing the test to fail).

Nonbare repositories are special directories. Unlike normal directories
that we might recurse into to list the files they contain, nonbare
repositories must themselves match and then we always report only on the
nonbare repository directory itself and not on any of its contents.
Separately, when traversing directories to try to find untracked or
excluded files, we often think in terms of paths either matching the
specified pathspec, or not matching them. However, there is a special
value that do_match_pathspec() uses named
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC which means "this directory does
not match any pathspec BUT it is possible a file or directory underneath
it does." That special value prevents us from prematurely thinking that
some directory and everything under it is irrelevant, but also allows us
to differentiate from "this is a match".
The combination of these two special cases was previously uncovered.
Add a test to the testsuite to cover it, and make sure that we return a
nonbare repository as a non-match if the best match it got was
MATCHED_RECURSIVELY_LEADING_PATHSPEC.

The --batch-size=<size> option of 'git multi-pack-index repack' is
intended to limit the amount of work done by the repack. In the case of
a large repository, this command should repack a number of small
pack-files but leave the large pack-files alone. Most often, the
repository has one large pack-file from a 'git clone' operation and
number of smaller pack-files from incremental 'git fetch' operations.
The issue with '--batch-size' is that it also _prevents_ the repack from
happening if the expected size of the resulting pack-file is too small.
This was intended as a way to avoid frequent churn of small pack-files,
but it has mostly caused confusion when a repository is of "medium"
size. That is, not enormous like the Windows OS repository, but also not
so small that this incremental repack isn't valuable.
The solution presented here is to collect pack-files for repack if their
expected size is smaller than the batch-size parameter until either the
total expected size exceeds the batch-size or all pack-files are
considered. If there are at least two pack-files, then these are
combined to a new pack-file whose size should not be too much larger
than the batch-size.
This new strategy should succeed in keeping the number of pack-files
small in these "medium" size repositories. The concern about churn is
likely not interesting, as the real control over that is the frequency
in which the repack command is run.

t6425 was very picky about the exact output message produced by a
rename/delete conflict, in a way that just scratches the surface of the
mess that was built into merge-recursive. The idea was that it would
try to find the possible combinations of different conflict types, and
when more than one was present for one path, it would try to provide a
combined message that covered all the cases.
There's a lot to unravel here...
First, there's a basic conflict type known as modify/delete, which is a
content conflict. It occurs when one side deletes a file, but the other
modifies it.
There is also a path conflict known as a rename/delete. This occurs
when one side deletes a path, and the other renames it. This is not a
content conflict, it is a path conflict. It will often occur in
combination with a content conflict, though, namely a modify/delete. As
such, these two were often combined.
Another type of conflict that can exist is a directory/file conflict.
For example, one side adds a new file at some path, and the other side
of history adds a directory at the same path. The path that was "added"
could have been put there by a rename, though. Thus, we have the
possibility of a single path being affected by a modify/delete, a
rename/delete, and a directory/file conflict.
In part, this was a natural by-product of merge-recursive's design.
Since it was doing a four way merge with the contents of the working
tree being the fourth factor it had to consider, it had working tree
handling spread all over the code. It also had directory/file conflict
handling spread everywhere through all the other types of conflicts.
And our testsuite has a huge number of directory/file conflict tests
because trying to get them right required modifying so many different
codepaths. A natural outgrowth of this kind of structure is conflict
messages that combine all the different types that the current codepath
is considering.
However, if we want to make the different conflict types orthogonal and
avoid repeating ourselves and getting very brittle code, then we need to
split the messages from these different conflict types apart. Besides,
trying to determine all possible permutations is a _royal_ mess. The
code to handle the rename/delete/directory/file conflict output is
already somewhat hard to parse, and is somewhat brittle. But if we
really wanted to go that route, then we'd have to have special handling
for the following types of combinations:
* rename/add/delete:
on side of history that didn't rename the given file, remove the file
instead and place an unrelated file in the way of the rename
* rename/rename(2to1)/mode conflict/delete/delete:
two different files, one executable and the other not, are renamed
to the same location, each side deletes the source file that the
other side renames
* rename/rename(1to2)/add/add:
file renamed differently on each side of history, with each side
placing an unrelated file in the way of the other
* rename/rename(1to2)/content conflict/file location/(D/F)/(D/F)/:
both sides modify a file in conflicting way, both rename that file
but to different paths, one side renames the directory which the
other side had renamed that file into causing it to possibly need a
transitive rename, and each side puts a directory in the way of the
other's path.
Let's back away from this path of insanity, and allow the different
types of conflicts to be handled by separate pieces of non-repeated code
by allowing the conflict messages to be split into their separate types.
(If multiple conflict types affect a single path, the conflict messages
can be printed sequentially.) Start this path with a simple change:
modify this test to be more flexible and accept the output either merge
backend (recursive or the new ort) will produce.

Much like the last commit accepted 'add/add' and 'rename/add'
interchangably, we also want to do the same for 'add/add' and
'rename/rename'. This also allows us to avoid the ambiguity in meaning
with 'rename/rename' (is it two separate files renamed to the same
location, or one file renamed on both sides but differently)?

merge-recursive treats an add/add conflict where one of the adds came
from a rename as a separate 'rename/add' type of conflict. However, if
there is not content conflict after the content merge(s), then the file
is not considered to be conflicted. That suggests the conflict type is
really just add/add. Other merge engines might choose to print messages
to the console that just refer to these as add/add conflicts; accept
both types of output.
Note: it could help to notify users if the three-way content merge of
the rename had content conflicts, because when we then go to two-way
merge THAT with the conflicting add we can get nested conflict markers.
merge-recursive, unfortunately, doesn't do that, but other merge engines
could.

I had long since forgotten the idea behind this test and why it failed,
and took a little while to figure it out. To prevent others from having
to spend a similar time on it, add an explanation in the comments.
However, the reasoning in the explanation makes me question why I
considered it a failure at all. I'm not sure if I had a better reason
when I originally wrote it, but for now just add commentary about the
possible expectations and why it behaves the way it does right now.
