When using init_tree_desc() and tree_entry() to iterate over a tree, we
always canonicalize the modes coming out of the tree. This is a good
thing to prevent bugs or oddities in normal code paths, but it's
counter-productive for tools like fsck that want to see the exact
contents.
We can address this by adding an option to avoid the extra
canonicalization. A few notes on the implementation:
- I've attached the new option to the tree_desc struct itself. The
actual code change is in decode_tree_entry(), which is in turn
called by the public update_tree_entry(), tree_entry(), and
init_tree_desc() functions, plus their "gently" counterparts.
By letting it ride along in the struct, we can avoid changing the
signature of those functions, which are called many times. Plus it's
conceptually simpler: you really want a particular iteration of a
tree to be "raw" or not, rather than individual calls.
- We still have to set the new option somewhere. The struct is
initialized by init_tree_desc(). I added the new flags field only to
the "gently" version. That avoids disturbing the much more numerous
non-gentle callers, and it makes sense that anybody being careful
about looking at raw modes would also be careful about bogus trees
(i.e., the caller will be something like fsck in the first place).

The documentation and error messages for git-cvsserver include some
references to a "whitelist" that is not otherwise included in the
documentation. When different parts of the documentation do not use
common language, this can lead to confusion as to how things are meant
to operate.
Further, the word "whitelist" has cultural implications that make its
use non-inclusive. Thankfully, we can remove it while increasing
clarity.
Update Documentation/git-cvsserver.txt in a similar way to the previous
change to Documentation/git-daemon.txt. The optional '<directory>...'
list can specify a list of allowed directories. We refer to that list
directly inside of the documentation for the GIT_CVSSERVER_ROOT
environment variable.
While modifying this documentation, update the environment variables to
use a list format. We use the modern way of tabbing the description of
each variable in this section. We do _not_ update the description of
'<directory>...' to use tabs this way since the rest of the items in the
OPTIONS list do not use this modern formatting.
A single error message in the actual git-cvsserver.perl code refers to
the whitelist during argument parsing. Instead, refer to the directory
list that has been clarified in the documentation.

The undecorated arguments to the 'git-daemon' command provide a list of
directories. When at least one directory is specified, then 'git-daemon'
only serves requests that are within that directory list. The boolean
'--strict-paths' option makes the list more explicit in that
subdirectories are no longer included.
The existing documentation and error messages around this directory list
refer to it and its behavior as a "whitelist". The word "whitelist" has
cultural implications that are not inclusive. Thankfully, it is not
difficult to reword and avoid its use. In the process, we can define the
purpose of this directory list directly.
In Documentation/git-daemon.txt, rewrite the OPTIONS section around the
'<directory>' option. Add additional clarity to the other options that
refer to these directories.
Some error messages can also be improved in daemon.c. The
'--strict-paths' option requires '<directory>' arguments, so refer to
that section of the documentation directly. A logerror() call points out
that a requested directory is not in the specified directory list. We
can use "list" here without any loss of information.

Alternatively we could keep that sentence and update the list of

Git config's tab completion does not yet know about the "include"
and "includeIf" sections, nor the related "path" variable.
Add a description for these two sections in
'Documentation/config/includeif.txt', which points to git-config's
documentation, specifically the "Includes" and "Conditional Includes"
subsections.
As a side effect, tab completion can successfully complete the
'include', 'includeIf', and 'include.add' expressions.
This effect is tested by two new ad-hoc tests.
Variable completion only works for "include" for now.

When sorting the output of `git shortlog` by count, a list of authors in
alphabetical order is then sorted by contribution count. Obviously, the
idea is to maintain the alphabetical order for items with identical
contribution count.
At the moment, this job is performed by `qsort()`. As that function is
not guaranteed to implement a stable sort algorithm, this can lead to
inconsistent and/or surprising behavior: items with identical
contribution count could lose their alphabetical sub-order.
The `qsort()` in MS Visual C's runtime does _not_ implement a stable
sort algorithm, and under certain circumstances this even causes a test
failure in t4201.21 "shortlog can match multiple groups", where two
authors both are listed with 2 contributions, and are listed in inverse
alphabetical order.
Let's instead use the stable sort provided by `git_stable_qsort()` to
avoid this inconsistency.
This is a companion to 2049b8dc65 (diffcore_rename(): use a stable sort,

In 0041797449 (vimdiff: new implementation with layout support,
2022-03-30), we introduced a completely new implementation of the
`vimdiff` backend for `git mergetool`.
In this implementation, we no longer call `vim` directly but we
accumulate in the variable `FINAL_CMD` an arbitrary number of commands
for `vim` to execute, which necessitates the use of `eval` to split the
commands properly into multiple command-line arguments.
That same `eval` command also needs to pass the paths to `vim`, and
while it looks as if they are quoted correctly, that quoting only
reaches the `eval` instruction and is lost after that, therefore paths
that contain whitespace characters (or other characters that are
interpreted by the POSIX shell) are handled incorrectly.
This is a simple reproducer:
git init -b main bam-merge-fail
cd bam-merge-fail
echo a>"a file.txt"
git add "a file.txt"
git commit -m "added 'a file.txt'"
echo b>"a file.txt"
git add "a file.txt"
git commit -m "diverged b 'a file.txt'"
git checkout -b c HEAD~
echo c>"a file.txt"
git add "a file.txt"
git commit -m "diverged c 'a file.txt'"
git checkout main
git merge c
git mergetool --tool=vimdiff
With Git v2.37.0/v2.37.1, this will open 7 buffers, not four, and not
display the correct contents at all.
To fix this, let's not expand the variables containing the path
parameters before passing them to the `eval` command, but let that
command expand the variables instead.

Commit 0139c58ab9 (revisions API users: add "goto cleanup" for
release_revisions(), 2022-04-13) converted an early return in
cmd_diff_files() into a goto. But it put the cleanup label too early: if
read_cache_preload() returns an error, we'll set result to "-1", but
then jump to calling run_diff_files(), overwriting our result.
We should jump past the call to run_diff_files(). Likewise, we should go
past diff_result_code(), which is expecting to see a code from an actual
diff, not a negative error code.
In practice, I suspect this bug cannot actually be triggered, because
read_cache_preload() does not seem to ever return an error. Its return
value (eventually) comes from do_read_index(), which gives the number of
cache entries found, and calls die() on error. Still, it makes sense to
fix the inadvertent change from 0139c58ab9 first, and we can look into
the overall error handling of read_cache() separately (which is present
in many other callsites).

Prior to 4f37d45706 (clone: respect remote unborn HEAD, 2021-02-05),
creation of the local HEAD was always done in update_head(). That commit
added code to handle an unborn head in an empty repository, and just did
all symref creation and config setup there.
This makes the code flow a little bit confusing, especially as new
corner cases have been covered (like the previous commit to match our
default branch name to a non-HEAD remote branch).
Let's move the creation of the unborn symref into update_head(). This
matches the other HEAD-creation cases, and now the logic is consistently
separated: the main cmd_clone() function only examines the situation and
sets variables based on what it finds, and update_head() actually
performs the update.

'vim' has two configuration options ('splitbelow' and 'splitright') that
change the way the 'split' command behaves. When they are set, the
commands that the layout engine generates no longer work as expected.
In order to fix this we can append special keyword 'leftabove' to each
'split' and 'vertical split' subcommand found inside the command string
generated by the layout engine.
This works because whatever comes after 'leftabove' will temporally
ignore settings 'splitbelow' and 'splitright'.
