Glen Choo a53f43f900 config: don't BUG when both kvi and source are set
When iterating through config, we read config source metadata from
global values - either a "struct config_source + enum config_scope"
or a "struct key_value_info", using the current_config* functions. Prior
to the series starting from 0c60285147 (config.c: create config_reader
and the_reader, 2023-03-28), we weren't very picky about which values we
should read in which situation; we did note that both groups of values
generally shouldn't be set together, but if both were set,
current_config* preferentially reads key_value_info. When that series
added more structure, we enforced that either the former (when parsing a
config source) can be set, or the latter (when iterating a config set),
but *never* both at the same time. See 9828453ff0 (config.c: remove
current_config_kvi, 2023-03-28) and 5cdf18e7cd (config.c: remove
current_parsing_scope, 2023-03-28).

That was a good simplifying constraint that helped us reason about the
global state, but it turns out that there is at least one situation
where we need both to be set at the same time: in a blobless partial
clone where .gitmodules is missing. "git fetch" in such a repo will
start a config parse over .gitmodules (setting the config_source), and
Git will attempt to lazy-fetch it from the promisor remote. However,
when we try to read the promisor configuration, we start iterating a
config set (setting the key_value_info), and we BUG() out because that's
not allowed any more.

Teaching config_reader to gracefully handle this is somewhat
complicated, but fortunately, there are proposed changes to the config.c
machinery to get rid of this global state, and make the BUG() obsolete
[1]. We should rely on that as the eventual solution, and avoid doing
yet another refactor in the meantime.

Therefore, fix the bug by removing the BUG() check. We're reverting to
an older, less safe state, but that's generally okay since
key_value_info is always preferentially read, so we'd always read the
correct values when we iterate a config set in the middle of a config
parse (like we are here). The reverse would be wrong, but extremely
unlikely to happen since very few callers parse config without going
through a config set.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
