global: introduce `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead, callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters. It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces that implicitly rely on `the_repository`. Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes, be it explicit or implicit For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as `the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add guards as required (or even better, just remove them). Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the required changes at least a little bit more contained.

checkout & worktree: introduce checkout.defaultRemote Introduce a checkout.defaultRemote setting which can be used to designate a remote to prefer (via checkout.defaultRemote=origin) when running e.g. "git checkout master" to mean origin/master, even though there's other remotes that have the "master" branch. I want this because it's very handy to use this workflow to checkout a repository and create a topic branch, then get back to a "master" as retrieved from upstream: ( cd /tmp && rm -rf tbdiff && git clone git@github.com:trast/tbdiff.git && cd tbdiff && git branch -m topic && git checkout master ) That will output: Branch 'master' set up to track remote branch 'master' from 'origin'. Switched to a new branch 'master' But as soon as a new remote is added (e.g. just to inspect something from someone else) the DWIMery goes away: ( cd /tmp && rm -rf tbdiff && git clone git@github.com:trast/tbdiff.git && cd tbdiff && git branch -m topic && git remote add avar git@github.com:avar/tbdiff.git && git fetch avar && git checkout master ) Will output (without the advice output added earlier in this series): error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git. The new checkout.defaultRemote config allows me to say that whenever that ambiguity comes up I'd like to prefer "origin", and it'll still work as though the only remote I had was "origin".

config: drop git_config_get_string_const() As evidenced by the leak fixes in the previous commit, the "const" in git_config_get_string_const() clearly misleads people into thinking that it does not allocate a copy of the string. We can fix this by renaming it, but it's easier still to just drop it. Of the four remaining callers: - The one in git_config_parse_expiry() still needs to allocate, since that's what its callers expect. We can just use the non-const version and cast our pointer. Slightly ugly, but the damage is contained in one spot. - The two in apply are writing to global "const char *" variables, and need to continue allocating. We often mark these as const because we assign default string literals to them. But in this case we don't do that, so we can just declare them as real "char *" pointers and use the non-const version. - The call in checkout doesn't actually need a copy; it can just use the non-allocating "tmp" version of the function. The function is also mentioned in the MyFirstContribution document. We can swap that call out for the non-allocating "tmp" variant, which fits well in the example given. We'll drop the "configset" and "repo" variants, as well (which are unused). Note that this frees up the "const" name, so we could rename the "tmp" variant back to that. But let's give some time for topics in flight to adapt to the new code before doing so (if we do it too soon, the function semantics will change but the compiler won't alert us).

I considered splitting this into checkout.defaultRemote and worktree.defaultRemote, but it's probably less confusing to break our own rules that anything shared between config should live in core.* than have two config settings, and I couldn't come up with a short name under core.* that made sense (core.defaultRemoteForCheckout?). See also 70c9ac2f19 ("DWIM "git checkout frotz" to "git checkout -b frotz origin/frotz"", 2009-10-18) which introduced this DWIM feature to begin with, and 4e85333197 ("worktree: make add <path> <branch> dwim", 2017-11-26) which added it to git-worktree.
