Junio C Hamano 53ded839ae sparse-checkout: use default patterns for 'set' only !stdin
"git sparse-checkout set ---no-cone" uses default patterns when none
is given from the command line, but it should do so ONLY when
--stdin is not being used.  Right now, add_patterns_from_input()
called when reading from the standard input is sloppy and does not
check if there are extra command line parameters that the command
will silently ignore, but that will change soon and not setting this
unnecessary and unused default patterns start to matter when it gets
fixed.

Junio C Hamano a762af3dfd remote.h: retire CAS_OPT_NAME
When the "--force-with-lease" option was introduced in 28f5d176
(remote.c: add command line option parser for "--force-with-lease",
2013-07-08), the design discussion revolved around the concept of
"compare-and-swap", and it can still be seen in the name used for
variables and helper functions.  The end-user facing option name
ended up to be a bit different, so during the development iteration
of the feature, we used this C preprocessor macro to make it easier
to rename it later.

All of that happened more than 10 years ago, and the flexibility
afforded by the CAS_OPT_NAME macro outlived its usefulness.  Inline
the constant string for the option name, like all other option names
in the code.

Jiang Xin 18ce48918c fetch: no redundant error message for atomic fetch
If an error occurs during an atomic fetch, a redundant error message
will appear at the end of do_fetch(). It was introduced in b3a804663c
(fetch: make `--atomic` flag cover backfilling of tags, 2022-02-17).

Because a failure message is displayed before setting retcode in the
function do_fetch(), calling error() on the err message at the end of
this function may result in redundant or empty error message to be
displayed.

We can remove the redundant error() function, because we know that
the function ref_transaction_abort() never fails. While we can find a
common pattern for calling ref_transaction_abort() by running command
"git grep -A1 ref_transaction_abort", e.g.:

    if (ref_transaction_abort(transaction, &error))
        error("abort: %s", error.buf);

Following this pattern, we can tolerate the return value of the function
ref_transaction_abort() being changed in the future. We also delay the
output of the err message to the end of do_fetch() to reduce redundant
code. With these changes, the test case "fetch porcelain output
(atomic)" in t5574 will also be fixed.

René Scharfe 7382497372 show-ref: use die_for_incompatible_opt3()
Use the standard message for reporting the use of multiple mutually
exclusive options by calling die_for_incompatible_opt3() instead of
rolling our own.  This has the benefits of showing only the actually
given options, reducing the number of strings to translate and making
the UI slightly more consistent.

Adjust the test to no longer insist on a specific order of the
reported options, as this implementation detail does not affect the
usefulness of the error message.

Jeff King 37e8a341ea push: drop confusing configset/callback redundancy
We parse push config by calling git_config() with our git_push_config()
callback. But inside that callback, when we see "push.gpgsign", we
ignore the value passed into the callback and instead make a new call to
git_config_get_value().

This is unnecessary at best, and slightly wrong at worst (if there are
multiple instances, get_value() only returns one; both methods end up
with last-one-wins, but we'd fail to report errors if earlier
incarnations were bogus).

The call was added by 68c757f219 (push: add a config option push.gpgSign
for default signed pushes, 2015-08-19). That commit doesn't give any
reason to deviate from the usual strategy here; it was probably just
somebody unfamiliar with our config API and its conventions.

It also added identical code to builtin/send-pack.c, which also handles
push.gpgsign.

And then the same issue spread to its neighbor in b33a15b081 (push: add
recurseSubmodules config option, 2015-11-17), presumably via
cargo-culting.

This patch fixes all three to just directly use the value provided to
the callback. While I was adjusting the code to do so, I noticed that
push.gpgsign is overly careful about a NULL value. After
git_parse_maybe_bool() has returned anything besides 1, we know that the
value cannot be NULL (if it were, it would be an implicit "true", and
many callers of maybe_bool rely on that). Here that lets us shorten "if
(v && !strcasecmp(v, ...))" to just "if (!strcasecmp(v, ...))".

Jeff King d49cb162fa fsck: handle NULL value when parsing message config
When parsing fsck.*, receive.fsck.*, or fetch.fsck.*, we don't check for
an implicit bool. So any of:

  [fsck]
  badTree
  [receive "fsck"]
  badTree
  [fetch "fsck"]
  badTree

will cause us to segfault. We can fix it with config_error_nonbool() in
the usual way, but we have to make a few more changes to get good error
messages. The problem is that all three spots do:

  if (skip_prefix(var, "fsck.", &var))

to match and parse the actual message id. But that means that "var" now
just says "badTree" instead of "receive.fsck.badTree", making the
resulting message confusing. We can fix that by storing the parsed
message id in its own separate variable.

Jeff King ba176db511 config: handle NULL value when parsing non-bools
When the config parser sees an "implicit" bool like:

  [core]
  someVariable

it passes NULL to the config callback. Any callback code which expects a
string must check for NULL. This usually happens via helpers like
git_config_string(), etc, but some custom code forgets to do so and will
segfault.

These are all fairly vanilla cases where the solution is just the usual
pattern of:

  if (!value)
        return config_error_nonbool(var);

though note that in a few cases we have to split initializers like:

  int some_var = initializer();

into:

  int some_var;
  if (!value)
        return config_error_nonbool(var);
  some_var = initializer();

There are still some broken instances after this patch, which I'll
address on their own in individual patches after this one.

Jeff King daaa03e54c bisect: always clean on reset
Usually "bisect reset" cleans up any refs/bisect/ refs, along with
meta-files like .git/BISECT_LOG. But it only does so after deciding that
a bisection is active, which it does by reading BISECT_START. This is
usually fine, but it's possible to get into a confusing state if the
BISECT_START file is gone, but other cruft is left (this might be due to
a bug, or a system crash, etc).

And since "bisect reset" refuses to do anything in this state, the user
has no easy way to clean up the leftover cruft. While another "bisect
start" would clear the state, in the interim it can be annoying, as
other tools (like our bash prompt code) think we are bisecting, and
for-each-ref output may be polluted with refs/bisect/ entries.

Further adding to the confusion is that running "bisect reset $some_ref"
skips the BISECT_START check. So it never realizes that there's no
bisection active and does the cleanup anyway!

So let's just make sure we always do the cleanup, whether we looked at
BISECT_START or not. If the user doesn't give us a commit to reset to,
we'll still say "We are not bisecting" and skip the call to "git
checkout".

brian m. carlson e1068f0ad4 merge-file: add an option to process object IDs
git merge-file knows how to merge files on the file system already.  It
would be helpful, however, to allow it to also merge single blobs.
Teach it an `--object-id` option which means that its arguments are
object IDs and not files to allow it to do so.

We handle the empty blob specially since read_mmblob doesn't read it
directly and otherwise users cannot specify an empty ancestor.

Patrick Steinhardt 9080a7f178 builtin/show-ref: add new mode to check for reference existence
While we have multiple ways to show the value of a given reference, we
do not have any way to check whether a reference exists at all. While
commands like git-rev-parse(1) or git-show-ref(1) can be used to check
for reference existence in case the reference resolves to something
sane, neither of them can be used to check for existence in some other
scenarios where the reference does not resolve cleanly:

    - References which have an invalid name cannot be resolved.

    - References to nonexistent objects cannot be resolved.

    - Dangling symrefs can be resolved via git-symbolic-ref(1), but this
      requires the caller to special case existence checks depending on
      whether or not a reference is symbolic or direct.

Furthermore, git-rev-list(1) and other commands do not let the caller
distinguish easily between an actually missing reference and a generic
error.

Taken together, this seems like sufficient motivation to introduce a
separate plumbing command to explicitly check for the existence of a
reference without trying to resolve its contents.

This new command comes in the form of `git show-ref --exists`. This
new mode will exit successfully when the reference exists, with a
specific exit code of 2 when it does not exist, or with 1 when there
has been a generic error.

Note that the only way to properly implement this command is by using
the internal `refs_read_raw_ref()` function. While the public function
`refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` can be made to behave in the same way by
passing various flags, it does not provide any way to obtain the errno
with which the reference backend failed when reading the reference. As
such, it becomes impossible for us to distinguish generic errors from
the explicit case where the reference wasn't found.
