The 'versionsort.prereleaseSuffix' configuration variable, as its name
suggests, is supposed to only deal with tagnames with prerelease
suffixes, and allows sorting those prerelease tags in a user-defined
order before the suffixless main release tag, instead of sorting them
simply lexicographically.
However, the previous changes in this series resulted in an
interesting and useful property of version sort:
- The empty string as a configured suffix matches all tagnames,
including tagnames without any suffix, but
- tagnames containing a "real" configured suffix are still ordered
according to that real suffix, because any longer suffix takes
precedence over the empty string.
Exploiting this property we can easily generalize suffix reordering
and specify the order of tags with given suffixes not only before but
even after a main release tag by using the empty suffix to denote the
position of the main release tag, without any algorithm changes:
$ git -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-alpha \
-c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-beta \
-c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix="" \
-c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-gamma \
-c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-delta \
tag -l --sort=version:refname 'v3.0*'
v3.0-alpha1
v3.0-beta1
v3.0
v3.0-gamma1
v3.0-delta1
Since 'versionsort.prereleaseSuffix' is not a fitting name for a
configuration variable to control this more general suffix reordering,
introduce the new variable 'versionsort.suffix'. Still keep the old
configuration variable name as a deprecated alias, though, to avoid
suddenly breaking setups already using it. Ignore the old variable if
both old and new configuration variables are set, but emit a warning
so users will be aware of it and can fix their configuration. Extend
the documentation to describe and add a test to check this more
general behavior.
Note: since the empty suffix matches all tagnames, tagnames with
suffixes not included in the configuration are listed together with
the suffixless main release tag, ordered lexicographically right after
that, i.e. before tags with suffixes listed in the configuration
following the empty suffix.

We have been trying to improve the choice of this boundary, and Git

call grep on each submodule. The top level --super-prefix option is
used to pass a path to the submodule which can in turn be used to
prepend to output or in pathspec matching logic.
Recursion only occurs for submodules which have been initialized and
checked out by the parent project. If a submodule hasn't been
initialized and checked out it is simply skipped.
In order to support the existing multi-threading infrastructure in grep,
output from each child process is captured in a strbuf so that it can be
later printed to the console in an ordered fashion.
To limit the number of theads that are created, each child process has
half the number of threads as its parents (minimum of 1), otherwise we

Previously the `GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL` environment variable was used to
specify a whitelist of protocols to be used in clone/fetch/push
commands. This patch introduces new configuration options for more
fine-grained control for allowing/disallowing protocols. This also has
the added benefit of allowing easier construction of a protocol
whitelist on systems where setting an environment variable is
non-trivial.
Now users can specify a policy to be used for each type of protocol via
the 'protocol.<name>.allow' config option. A default policy for all
unconfigured protocols can be set with the 'protocol.allow' config
option. If no user configured default is made git will allow known-safe
protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file), disallow known-dangerous
protocols (ext), and have a default policy of `user` for all other
protocols.
The supported policies are `always`, `never`, and `user`. The `user`
policy can be used to configure a protocol to be usable when explicitly
used by a user, while disallowing it for commands which run
clone/fetch/push commands without direct user intervention (e.g.
recursive initialization of submodules). Commands which can potentially
clone/fetch/push from untrusted repositories without user intervention
can export `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` with a value of '0' to prevent
protocols configured to the `user` policy from being used.
Fix remote-ext tests to use the new config to allow the ext
protocol to be tested.

We read lists of alternates from objects/info/alternates
files (delimited by newline), as well as from the
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES environment variable
(delimited by colon or semi-colon, depending on the
platform).
There's no mechanism for quoting the delimiters, so it's
impossible to specify an alternate path that contains a
colon in the environment, or one that contains a newline in
a file. We've lived with that restriction for ages because
both alternates and filenames with colons are relatively
rare, and it's only a problem when the two meet. But since
722ff7f87 (receive-pack: quarantine objects until
pre-receive accepts, 2016-10-03), which builds on the
alternates system, every push causes the receiver to set
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES internally.
It would be convenient to have some way to quote the
delimiter so that we can represent arbitrary paths.
The simplest thing would be an escape character before a
quoted delimiter (e.g., "\:" as a literal colon). But that
creates a backwards compatibility problem: any path which
uses that escape character is now broken, and we've just
shifted the problem. We could choose an unlikely escape
character (e.g., something from the non-printable ASCII
range), but that's awkward to use.
Instead, let's treat names as unquoted unless they begin
with a double-quote, in which case they are interpreted via
our usual C-stylke quoting rules. This also breaks
backwards-compatibility, but in a smaller way: it only
matters if your file has a double-quote as the very _first_
character in the path (whereas an escape character is a
problem anywhere in the path). It's also consistent with
many other parts of git, which accept either a bare pathname
or a double-quoted one, and the sender can choose to quote
or not as required.

first. Or the rebase has been in progress for so long you forgot about
it. By the time you realize that (e.g. by starting another rebase)
it's already too late to retrace your steps. The solution is normally
rm -r .git/<some rebase dir>
and continue with your life. But there could be two different
directories for <some rebase dir> (and it obviously requires some
knowledge of how rebase works), and the ".git" part could be much
longer if you are not at top-dir, or in a linked worktree. And
"rm -r" is very dangerous to do in .git, a mistake in there could
destroy object database or other important data.

When comparing tagnames, it is possible that a tagname contains more
than one of the configured prerelease suffixes around the first
different character. After fixing a bug in the previous commit such a
tagname is sorted according to the contained suffix which comes first
in the configuration. This is, however, not quite the right thing to
do in the following corner cases:
1. $ git -c versionsort.suffix=-bar
-c versionsort.suffix=-foo-baz
-c versionsort.suffix=-foo-bar
tag -l --sort=version:refname 'v1*'
v1.0-foo-bar
v1.0-foo-baz
The suffix of the tagname 'v1.0-foo-bar' is clearly '-foo-bar',
so it should be listed last. However, as it also contains '-bar'
around the first different character, it is listed first instead,
because that '-bar' suffix comes first the configuration.
2. One of the configured suffixes starts with the other:
$ git -c versionsort.prereleasesuffix=-pre \
-c versionsort.prereleasesuffix=-prerelease \
tag -l --sort=version:refname 'v2*'
v2.0-prerelease1
v2.0-pre1
v2.0-pre2
Here the tagname 'v2.0-prerelease1' should be the last. When
comparing 'v2.0-pre1' and 'v2.0-prerelease1' the first different
characters are '1' and 'r', respectively. Since this first
different character must be part of the configured suffix, the
'-pre' suffix is not recognized in the first tagname. OTOH, the
'-prerelease' suffix is properly recognized in
'v2.0-prerelease1', thus it is listed first.
Improve version sort in these corner cases, and
- look for a configured prerelease suffix containing the first
different character or ending right before it, so the '-pre'
suffixes are recognized in case (2). This also means that
when comparing tagnames 'v2.0-pre1' and 'v2.0-pre2',
swap_prereleases() would find the '-pre' suffix in both, but then
it will return "undecided" and the caller will do the right thing
by sorting based in '1' and '2'.
- If the tagname contains more than one suffix, then give precedence
to the contained suffix that starts at the earliest offset in the
tagname to address (1).
- If there are more than one suffixes starting at that earliest
position, then give precedence to the longest of those suffixes,
thus ensuring that in (2) the tagname 'v2.0-prerelease1' won't be
sorted based on the '-pre' suffix.
Add tests for these corner cases and adjust the documentation
accordingly.
