a0d09c56ba repo-settings: split out declarations into a standalone header
While we have "repo-settings.c", we do not have a corresponding
"repo-settings.h" file. Instead, this functionality is part of the
"repository.h" header, making it hard to discover.

Split the declarations out of "repository.h" and create a standalone
header file with them.

ea0024deb9 repo-settings: introduce commitgraph.changedPathsVersion
A subsequent commit will introduce another version of the changed-path
filter in the commit graph file. In order to control which version to
write (and read), a config variable is needed.

Therefore, introduce this config variable. For forwards compatibility,
teach Git to not read commit graphs when the config variable
is set to an unsupported version. Because we teach Git this,
commitgraph.readChangedPaths is now redundant, so deprecate it and
define its behavior in terms of the config variable we introduce.

This commit does not change the behavior of writing (Git writes changed
path filters when explicitly instructed regardless of any config
variable), but a subsequent commit will restrict Git such that it will
only write when commitgraph.changedPathsVersion is a recognized value.

36026a0f30 refs: avoid include cycle with "repository.h"
There is an include cycle between "refs.h" and "repository.h" via
"commit.h", "object.h" and "hash.h". This has the effect that several
definitions of structs and enums will not be visible once we merge
"hash-ll.h" back into "hash.h" in the next commit.

The only reason that "repository.h" includes "refs.h" is the definition
of `enum ref_storage_format`. Move it into "repository.h" and have
"refs.h" include "repository.h" instead to fix the cycle.

e7da938570 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.

dc7fb4f72c refs: retrieve worktree ref stores via associated repository
Similar as with the preceding commit, the worktree ref stores are always
looked up via `the_repository`. Also, again, those ref stores are stored
in a global map.

Refactor the code so that worktrees have a pointer to their repository.
Like this, we can move the global map into `struct repository` and stop
using `the_repository`. With this change, we can now in theory look up
worktree ref stores for repositories other than `the_repository`. In
practice, the worktree code will need further changes to look up
arbitrary worktrees.

965f8991e5 refs: pass repo when retrieving submodule ref store
Looking up submodule ref stores has two deficiencies:

  - The initialized subrepo will be attributed to `the_repository`.

  - The submodule ref store will be tracked in a global map.

This makes it impossible to have submodule ref stores for a repository
other than `the_repository`.

Modify the function to accept the parent repository as parameter and
move the global map into `struct repository`. Like this it becomes
possible to look up submodule ref stores for arbitrary repositories.

Note that this also adds a new reference to `the_repository` in
`resolve_gitlink_ref()`, which is part of the refs interfaces. This will
get adjusted in the next patch.

0c47355790 repository: drop initialize_the_repository()
Now that we have dropped `the_index`, `initialize_the_repository()`
doesn't really do a lot anymore except for setting up the pointer for
`the_repository` and then calling `initialize_repository()`. The former
can be replaced by statically initializing the pointer though, which
basically makes this function moot.

Convert callers to instead call `initialize_repository(the_repository)`
and drop `initialize_thee_repository()`.

19fa8cd48c repository: drop the_index variable
All users of `the_index` have been converted to use either a custom
`struct index_state *` or the index provided by `the_repository`. We can
thus drop the globally-accessible declaration of this variable. In fact,
we can go further than that and drop `the_index` completely now and have
it be allocated dynamically in `initialize_repository()` as all the
other data structures in it are.

This concludes the quest to make Git `the_index` free, which has started
with 4aab5b46f4 (Make read-cache.c "the_index" free., 2007-04-01).

57db2a094d refs: introduce reftable backend
Due to scalability issues, Shawn Pearce has originally proposed a new
"reftable" format more than six years ago [1]. Initially, this new
format was implemented in JGit with promising results. Around two years
ago, we have then added the "reftable" library to the Git codebase via
a4bbd13be3 (Merge branch 'hn/reftable', 2021-12-15). With this we have
landed all the low-level code to read and write reftables. Notably
missing though was the integration of this low-level code into the Git
code base in the form of a new ref backend that ties all of this
together.

This gap is now finally closed by introducing a new "reftable" backend
into the Git codebase. This new backend promises to bring some notable
improvements to Git repositories:

  - It becomes possible to do truly atomic writes where either all refs
    are committed to disk or none are. This was not possible with the
    "files" backend because ref updates were split across multiple loose
    files.

  - The disk space required to store many refs is reduced, both compared
    to loose refs and packed-refs. This is enabled both by the reftable
    format being a binary format, which is more compact, and by prefix
    compression.

  - We can ignore filesystem-specific behaviour as ref names are not
    encoded via paths anymore. This means there is no need to handle
    case sensitivity on Windows systems or Unicode precomposition on
    macOS.

  - There is no need to rewrite the complete refdb anymore every time a
    ref is being deleted like it was the case for packed-refs. This
    means that ref deletions are now constant time instead of scaling
    linearly with the number of refs.

  - We can ignore file/directory conflicts so that it becomes possible
    to store both "refs/heads/foo" and "refs/heads/foo/bar".

  - Due to this property we can retain reflogs for deleted refs. We have
    previously been deleting reflogs together with their refs to avoid
    file/directory conflicts, which is not necessary anymore.

  - We can properly enumerate all refs. With the "files" backend it is
    not easily possible to distinguish between refs and non-refs because
    they may live side by side in the gitdir.

Not all of these improvements are realized with the current "reftable"
backend implementation. At this point, the new backend is supposed to be
a drop-in replacement for the "files" backend that is used by basically
all Git repositories nowadays. It strives for 1:1 compatibility, which
means that a user can expect the same behaviour regardless of whether
they use the "reftable" backend or the "files" backend for most of the
part.

Most notably, this means we artificially limit the capabilities of the
"reftable" backend to match the limits of the "files" backend. It is not
possible to create refs that would end up with file/directory conflicts,
we do not retain reflogs, we perform stricter-than-necessary checks.
This is done intentionally due to two main reasons:

  - It makes it significantly easier to land the "reftable" backend as
    tests behave the same. It would be tough to argue for each and every
    single test that doesn't pass with the "reftable" backend.

  - It ensures compatibility between repositories that use the "files"
    backend and repositories that use the "reftable" backend. Like this,
    hosters can migrate their repositories to use the "reftable" backend
    without causing issues for clients that use the "files" backend in
    their clones.

It is expected that these artificial limitations may eventually go away
in the long term.

Performance-wise things very much depend on the actual workload. The
following benchmarks compare the "files" and "reftable" backends in the
current version:

  - Creating N refs in separate transactions shows that the "files"
    backend is ~50% faster. This is not surprising given that creating a
    ref only requires us to create a single loose ref. The "reftable"
    backend will also perform auto compaction on updates. In real-world
    workloads we would likely also want to perform pack loose refs,
    which would likely change the picture.

          Range (min … max):   290.223 s … 298.761 s    3 runs

  - Creating N refs in a single transaction shows that the "files"
    backend is significantly slower once we start to write many refs.
    The "reftable" backend only needs to update two files, whereas the
    "files" backend needs to write one file per ref.

  - Deleting a ref in a fully-packed repository shows that the "files"
    backend scales with the number of refs. The "reftable" backend has
    constant-time deletions.

  - Listing all refs shows no significant advantage for either of the
    backends. The "files" backend is a bit faster, but not by a
    significant margin. When repositories are not packed the "reftable"
    backend outperforms the "files" backend because the "reftable"
    backend performs auto-compaction.

So overall, performance depends on the usecases. Except for many
sequential writes the "reftable" backend is roughly on par or
significantly faster than the "files" backend though. Given that the
"files" backend has received 18 years of optimizations by now this can
be seen as a win. Furthermore, we can expect that the "reftable" backend
will grow faster over time when attention turns more towards
optimizations.

The complete test suite passes, except for those tests explicitly marked
to require the REFFILES prerequisite. Some tests in t0610 are marked as
failing because they depend on still-in-flight bug fixes. Tests can be
run with the new backend by setting the GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT
environment variable to "reftable".

There is a single known conceptual incompatibility with the dumb HTTP
transport. As "info/refs" SHOULD NOT contain the HEAD reference, and
because the "HEAD" file is not valid anymore, it is impossible for the
remote client to figure out the default branch without changing the
protocol. This shortcoming needs to be handled in a subsequent patch
series.

As the reftable library has already been introduced a while ago, this
commit message will not go into the details of how exactly the on-disk
format works. Please refer to our preexisting technical documentation at
Documentation/technical/reftable for this.

23c1e71369 pack-objects: enable multi-pack reuse via feature.experimental
Now that multi-pack reuse is supported, enable it via the
feature.experimental configuration in addition to the classic
`pack.allowPackReuse`.

This will allow more users to experiment with the new behavior who might
not otherwise be aware of the existing `pack.allowPackReuse`
configuration option.

The enum with values NO_PACK_REUSE, SINGLE_PACK_REUSE, and
MULTI_PACK_REUSE is defined statically in builtin/pack-objects.c's
compilation unit. We could hoist that enum into a scope visible from the
repository_settings struct, and then use that enum value in
pack-objects. Instead, define a single int that indicates what
pack-objects's default value should be to avoid additional unnecessary
code movement.

Though `feature.experimental` implies `pack.allowPackReuse=multi`, this
can still be overridden by explicitly setting the latter configuration
to either "single" or "false". Tests covering all of these cases are
showin t5332.

fd7c6ffa9e refs: convert AUTO_MERGE to become a normal pseudo-ref
In 70c70de616 (refs: complete list of special refs, 2023-12-14) we have
inrtoduced a new `is_special_ref()` function that classifies some refs
as being special. The rule is that special refs are exclusively read and
written via the filesystem directly, whereas normal refs exclucsively go
via the refs API.

The intent of that commit was to record the status quo so that we know
to route reads of such special refs consistently. Eventually, the list
should be reduced to its bare minimum of refs which really are special,
namely FETCH_HEAD and MERGE_HEAD.

Follow up on this promise and convert the AUTO_MERGE ref to become a
normal pseudo-ref by using the refs API to both read and write it
instead of accessing the filesystem directly.

173761e21b setup: start tracking ref storage format
In order to discern which ref storage format a repository is supposed to
use we need to start setting up and/or discovering the format. This
needs to happen in two separate code paths.

  - The first path is when we create a repository via `init_db()`. When
    we are re-initializing a preexisting repository we need to retain
    the previously used ref storage format -- if the user asked for a
    different format then this indicates an error and we error out.
    Otherwise we either initialize the repository with the format asked
    for by the user or the default format, which currently is the
    "files" backend.

  - The second path is when discovering repositories, where we need to
    read the config of that repository. There is not yet any way to
    configure something other than the "files" backend, so we can just
    blindly set the ref storage format to this backend.

Wire up this logic so that we have the ref storage format always readily
available when needed. As there is only a single backend and because it
is not configurable we cannot yet verify that this tracking works as
expected via tests, but tests will be added in subsequent commits. To
countermand this ommission now though, raise a BUG() in case the ref
storage format is not set up properly in `ref_store_init()`.

0fcc285c5e refs: refactor logic to look up storage backends
In order to look up ref storage backends, we're currently using a linked
list of backends, where each backend is expected to set up its `next`
pointer to the next ref storage backend. This is kind of a weird setup
as backends need to be aware of other backends without much of a reason.

Refactor the code so that the array of backends is centrally defined in
"refs.c", where each backend is now identified by an integer constant.
Expose functions to translate from those integer constants to the name
and vice versa, which will be required by subsequent patches.

15a1ca1abe repository: add a compatibility hash algorithm
We currently have support for using a full stage 4 SHA-256
implementation.  However, we'd like to support interoperability with
SHA-1 repositories as well.  The transition plan anticipates a
compatibility hash algorithm configuration option that we can use to
implement support for this.  Let's add an element to the repository
structure that indicates the compatibility hash algorithm so we can use
it when we need to consider interoperability between algorithms.

Add a helper function repo_set_compat_hash_algo that takes a
compatibility hash algorithm and sets "repo->compat_hash_algo".  If
GIT_HASH_UNKNOWN is passed as the compatibility hash algorithm
"repo->compat_hash_algo" is set to NULL.

For now, the code results in "repo->compat_hash_algo" always being set
to NULL, but that will change once a configuration option is added.

9c7d1b057f repository: create read_replace_refs setting
The 'read_replace_refs' global specifies whether or not we should
respect the references of the form 'refs/replace/<oid>' to replace which
object we look up when asking for '<oid>'. This global has caused issues
when it is not initialized properly, such as in b6551feadf (merge-tree:
load default git config, 2023-05-10).

To make this more robust, move its config-based initialization out of
git_default_config and into prepare_repo_settings(). This provides a
repository-scoped version of the 'read_replace_refs' global.

The global still has its purpose: it is disabled process-wide by the
GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS environment variable or by a call to
disable_replace_refs() in some specific Git commands.

Since we already encapsulated the use of the constant inside
replace_refs_enabled(), we can perform the initialization inside that
method, if necessary. This solves the problem of forgetting to check the
config, as we will check it before returning this value.

Due to this encapsulation, the global can move to be static within
replace-object.c.

There is an interesting behavior change possible here: we now have a
repository-scoped understanding of this config value. Thus, if there was
a command that recurses into submodules and might follow replace refs,
then it would now respect the core.useReplaceRefs config value in each
repository.

'git grep --recurse-submodules' is such a command that recurses into
submodules in-process. We can demonstrate the granularity of this config
value via a test in t7814.

3867f6d650 repository: move 'repository_format_worktree_config' to repo scope
Move 'repository_format_worktree_config' out of the global scope and into
the 'repository' struct. This change is similar to how
'repository_format_partial_clone' was moved in ebaf3bcf1a (repository: move
global r_f_p_c to repo struct, 2021-06-17), adding it to the 'repository'
struct and updating 'setup.c' & 'repository.c' functions to assign the value
appropriately.

The primary goal of this change is to be able to load the worktree config of
a submodule depending on whether that submodule - not its superproject - has
'extensions.worktreeConfig' enabled. To ensure 'do_git_config_sequence()'
has access to the newly repo-scoped configuration, add a 'struct repository'
argument to 'do_git_config_sequence()' and pass it the 'repo' value from
'config_with_options()'.

Finally, add/update tests in 't3007-ls-files-recurse-submodules.sh' to
verify 'extensions.worktreeConfig' is read an used independently by
superprojects and submodules.

b0afdce5da pack-bitmap.c: use commit boundary during bitmap traversal
When reachability bitmap coverage exists in a repository, Git will use a
different (and hopefully faster) traversal to compute revision walks.

Consider a set of positive and negative tips (which we'll refer to with
their standard bitmap parlance by "wants", and "haves"). In order to
figure out what objects exist between the tips, the existing traversal
in `prepare_bitmap_walk()` does something like:

  1. Consider if we can even compute the set of objects with bitmaps,
     and fall back to the usual traversal if we cannot. For example,
     pathspec limiting traversals can't be computed using bitmaps (since
     they don't know which objects are at which paths). The same is true
     of certain kinds of non-trivial object filters.

  2. If we can compute the traversal with bitmaps, partition the
     (dereferenced) tips into two object lists, "haves", and "wants",
     based on whether or not the objects have the UNINTERESTING flag,
     respectively.

  3. Fall back to the ordinary object traversal if either (a) there are
     more than zero haves, none of which are in the bitmapped pack or
     MIDX, or (b) there are no wants.

  4. Construct a reachability bitmap for the "haves" side by walking
     from the revision tips down to any existing bitmaps, OR-ing in any
     bitmaps as they are found.

  5. Then do the same for the "wants" side, stopping at any objects that
     appear in the "haves" bitmap.

  6. Filter the results if any object filter (that can be easily
     computed with bitmaps alone) was given, and then return back to the
     caller.

When there is good bitmap coverage relative to the traversal tips, this
walk is often significantly faster than an ordinary object traversal
because it can visit far fewer objects.

But in certain cases, it can be significantly *slower* than the usual
object traversal. Why? Because we need to compute complete bitmaps on
either side of the walk. If either one (or both) of the sides require
walking many (or all!) objects before they get to an existing bitmap,
the extra bitmap machinery is mostly or all overhead.

One of the benefits, however, is that even if the walk is slower, bitmap
traversals are guaranteed to provide an *exact* answer. Unlike the
traditional object traversal algorithm, which can over-count the results
by not opening trees for older commits, the bitmap walk builds an exact
reachability bitmap for either side, meaning the results are never
over-counted.

But producing non-exact results is OK for our traversal here (both in
the bitmap case and not), as long as the results are over-counted, not
under.

Relaxing the bitmap traversal to allow it to produce over-counted
results gives us the opportunity to make some significant improvements.
Instead of the above, the new algorithm only has to walk from the
*boundary* down to the nearest bitmap, instead of from each of the
UNINTERESTING tips.

The boundary-based approach still has degenerate cases, but we'll show
in a moment that it is often a significant improvement.

The new algorithm works as follows:

  1. Build a (partial) bitmap of the haves side by first OR-ing any
     bitmap(s) that already exist for UNINTERESTING commits between the
     haves and the boundary.

  2. For each commit along the boundary, add it as a fill-in traversal
     tip (where the traversal terminates once an existing bitmap is
     found), and perform fill-in traversal.

  3. Build up a complete bitmap of the wants side as usual, stopping any
     time we intersect the (partial) haves side.

  4. Return the results.

And is more-or-less equivalent to using the *old* algorithm with this
invocation:

    $ git rev-list --objects --use-bitmap-index $WANTS --not \
        $(git rev-list --objects --boundary $WANTS --not $HAVES |
          perl -lne 'print $1 if /^-(.*)/')

The new result performs significantly better in many cases, particularly
when the distance from the boundary commit(s) to an existing bitmap is
shorter than the distance from (all of) the have tips to the nearest
bitmapped commit.

Note that when using the old bitmap traversal algorithm, the results can
be *slower* than without bitmaps! Under the new algorithm, the result is
computed faster with bitmaps than without (at the cost of over-counting
the true number of objects in a similar fashion as the non-bitmap
traversal):

    # (Computing the number of tagged objects not on any branches
    # without bitmaps).
    $ time git rev-list --count --objects --tags --not --branches
    20

    real	0m1.388s
    user	0m1.092s
    sys	0m0.296s

    # (Computing the same query using the old bitmap traversal).
    $ time git rev-list --count --objects --tags --not --branches --use-bitmap-index
    19

    real	0m22.709s
    user	0m21.628s
    sys	0m1.076s

    # (this commit)
    $ time git.compile rev-list --count --objects --tags --not --branches --use-bitmap-index
    19

    real	0m1.518s
    user	0m1.234s

The new algorithm is still slower than not using bitmaps at all, but it
is nearly a 15-fold improvement over the existing traversal.

In a more realistic setting (using my local copy of git.git), I can
observe a similar (if more modest) speed-up:

    $ argv="--count --objects --branches --not --tags"
    hyperfine \
      -n 'no bitmaps' "git.compile rev-list $argv" \
      -n 'existing traversal' "git.compile rev-list --use-bitmap-index $argv" \
      -n 'boundary traversal' "git.compile -c pack.useBitmapBoundaryTraversal=true rev-list --use-bitmap-index $argv"
    Benchmark 1: no bitmaps
      Time (mean ± σ):     124.6 ms ±   2.1 ms    [User: 103.7 ms, System: 20.8 ms]
      Range (min … max):   122.6 ms … 133.1 ms    22 runs

    Benchmark 2: existing traversal
      Time (mean ± σ):     368.6 ms ±   3.0 ms    [User: 325.3 ms, System: 43.1 ms]
      Range (min … max):   365.1 ms … 374.8 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 3: boundary traversal
      Time (mean ± σ):     167.6 ms ±   0.9 ms    [User: 139.5 ms, System: 27.9 ms]
      Range (min … max):   166.1 ms … 169.2 ms    17 runs

    Summary
      'no bitmaps' ran
        1.34 ± 0.02 times faster than 'boundary traversal'
        2.96 ± 0.05 times faster than 'existing traversal'

Here, the new algorithm is also still slower than not using bitmaps, but
represents a more than 2-fold improvement over the existing traversal in
a more modest example.

Since this algorithm was originally written (nearly a year and a half
ago, at the time of writing), the bitmap lookup table shipped, making
the new algorithm's result more competitive. A few other future
directions for improving bitmap traversal times beyond not using bitmaps
at all:

  - Decrease the cost to decompress and OR together many bitmaps
    together (particularly when enumerating the uninteresting side of
    the walk). Here we could explore more efficient bitmap storage
    techniques, like Roaring+Run and/or use SIMD instructions to speed
    up ORing them together.

  - Store pseudo-merge bitmaps, which could allow us to OR together
    fewer "summary" bitmaps (which would also help with the above).

dbcf611617 pack-revindex: introduce pack.readReverseIndex
Since 1615c567b8 (Documentation/config/pack.txt: advertise
'pack.writeReverseIndex', 2021-01-25), we have had the
`pack.writeReverseIndex` configuration option, which tells Git whether
or not it is allowed to write a ".rev" file when indexing a pack.

Introduce a complementary configuration knob, `pack.readReverseIndex` to
control whether or not Git will read any ".rev" file(s) that may be
available on disk.

This option is useful for debugging, as well as disabling the effect of
".rev" files in certain instances.

This is useful because of the trade-off[^1] between the time it takes to
generate a reverse index (slow from scratch, fast when reading an
existing ".rev" file), and the time it takes to access a record (the
opposite).

For example, even though it is faster to use the on-disk reverse index
when computing the on-disk size of a packed object, it is slower to
enumerate the same value for all objects.

Here are a couple of examples from linux.git. When computing the above
for a single object, using the on-disk reverse index is significantly
faster:

    $ git rev-parse HEAD >in
    $ hyperfine -L v false,true 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex={v} cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <in'
    Benchmark 1: git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <in
      Time (mean ± σ):     302.5 ms ±  12.5 ms    [User: 258.7 ms, System: 43.6 ms]
      Range (min … max):   291.1 ms … 328.1 ms    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=true cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <in
      Time (mean ± σ):       3.9 ms ±   0.3 ms    [User: 1.6 ms, System: 2.4 ms]
      Range (min … max):     2.0 ms …   4.4 ms    801 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=true cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <in' ran
       77.29 ± 7.14 times faster than 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" <in'

, but when instead trying to compute the on-disk object size for all
objects in the repository, using the ".rev" file is a disadvantage over
creating the reverse index from scratch:

    $ hyperfine -L v false,true 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex={v} cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects'
    Benchmark 1: git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects
      Time (mean ± σ):      8.258 s ±  0.035 s    [User: 7.949 s, System: 0.308 s]
      Range (min … max):    8.199 s …  8.293 s    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=true cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects
      Time (mean ± σ):     16.976 s ±  0.107 s    [User: 16.706 s, System: 0.268 s]
      Range (min … max):   16.839 s … 17.105 s    10 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects' ran
	2.06 ± 0.02 times faster than 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=true cat-file --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects'

Luckily, the results when running `git cat-file` with `--unordered` are
closer together:

    $ hyperfine -L v false,true 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex={v} cat-file --unordered --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects'
    Benchmark 1: git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false cat-file --unordered --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects
      Time (mean ± σ):      5.066 s ±  0.105 s    [User: 4.792 s, System: 0.274 s]
      Range (min … max):    4.943 s …  5.220 s    10 runs

    Benchmark 2: git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=true cat-file --unordered --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects
      Time (mean ± σ):      6.193 s ±  0.069 s    [User: 5.937 s, System: 0.255 s]
      Range (min … max):    6.145 s …  6.356 s    10 runs

    Summary
      'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=false cat-file --unordered --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects' ran
        1.22 ± 0.03 times faster than 'git.compile -c pack.readReverseIndex=true cat-file --unordered --batch-check="%(objectsize:disk)" --batch-all-objects'

Because the equilibrium point between these two is highly machine- and
repository-dependent, allow users to configure whether or not they will
read any ".rev" file(s) with this configuration knob.

[^1]: Generating a reverse index in memory takes O(N) time (where N is
  the number of objects in the repository), since we use a radix sort.
  Reading an entry from an on-disk ".rev" file is slower since each
  operation is bound by disk I/O instead of memory I/O.

  In order to compute the on-disk size of a packed object, we need to
  find the offset of our object, and the adjacent object (the on-disk
  size difference of these two). Finding the first offset requires a
  binary search. Finding the latter involves a single .rev lookup.

f332121e75 treewide: remove unnecessary git-compat-util.h includes in headers
For sanity, we should probably do one of the following:

(a) make C and header files both depend upon everything they need
(b) consistently exclude git-compat-util.h from headers and require it
    be the first include in C files

Currently, we have some of the headers following (a) and others
following (b), which makes things messy.  In the past I was pushed
towards (b), as per [1] and [2].  Further, during this series I
discovered that this mixture empirically will mean that we end up with C
files that do not directly include git-compat-util.h, and do include
headers that don't include git-compat-util.h, with the result that we
likely have headers included before an indirect inclusion of
git-compat-util.h.  Since git-compat-util.h has tricky platform-specific
stuff that is meant to be included before everything else, this state of
affairs is risky and may lead to things breaking in subtle ways (and
only on some platforms) as per [1] and [2].

Since including git-compat-util.h in existing header files makes it
harder for us to catch C files that are missing that include, let's
switch to (b) to make the enforcement of this rule easier.  Remove the
inclusion of git-compat-util.h from header files other than the ones
that have been approved as alternate first includes.

17194b195d features: feature.manyFiles implies fast index writes
The recent addition of the index.skipHash config option allows index
writes to speed up by skipping the hash computation for the trailing
checksum. This is particularly critical for repositories with many files
at HEAD, so add this config option to two cases where users in that
scenario may opt-in to such behavior:

 1. The feature.manyFiles config option enables some options that are
    helpful for repositories with many files at HEAD.

 2. 'scalar register' and 'scalar reconfigure' set config options that
    optimize for large repositories.

In both of these cases, set index.skipHash=true to gain this
speedup. Add tests that demonstrate the proper way that
index.skipHash=true can override feature.manyFiles=true.

Fix code added in ce125d431a (submodule: extract path to submodule
gitdir func, 2021-09-15) and a77c3fcb5e (submodule--helper: get
remote names from any repository, 2022-03-04) which failed to check
the return values of repo_init() and repo_submodule_init(). If we
failed to initialize the repository or submodule we could segfault
when trying to access the invalid repository structs.

Let's also check that these were the only such logic errors in the
codebase by making use of the "warn_unused_result" attribute. This is
valid as of GCC 3.4.0 (and clang will catch it via its faking of
__GNUC__ ).

As the comment being added to git-compat-util.h we're piggy-backing on
the LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL version check out of lazyness. See
9fe3edc47f (Add the LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL macro, 2013-07-18) for its
addition. The marginal benefit of covering gcc 3.4.0..4.0.0 is
near-zero (or zero) at this point. It mostly matters that we catch
this somewhere.

a92d8523ce commit-graph: pass repo_settings instead of repository
The parse_commit_graph() function takes a 'struct repository *' pointer,
but it only ever accesses config settings (either directly or through
the .settings field of the repo struct). Move all relevant config
settings into the repo_settings struct, and update parse_commit_graph()
and its existing callers so that it takes 'struct repo_settings *'
instead.

Callers of parse_commit_graph() will now need to call
prepare_repo_settings() themselves, or initialize a 'struct
repo_settings' directly.

Prior to ab14d0676c (commit-graph: pass a 'struct repository *' in more
places, 2020-09-09), parsing a commit-graph was a pure function
depending only on the contents of the commit-graph itself. Commit
ab14d0676c introduced a dependency on a `struct repository` pointer, and
later commits such as b66d84756f (commit-graph: respect
'commitGraph.readChangedPaths', 2020-09-09) added dependencies on config
settings, which were accessed through the `settings` field of the
repository pointer. This field was initialized via a call to
`prepare_repo_settings()`.

Additionally, this fixes an issue in fuzz-commit-graph: In 44c7e62
(2021-12-06, repo-settings:prepare_repo_settings only in git repos),
prepare_repo_settings was changed to issue a BUG() if it is called by a
process whose CWD is not a Git repository.

The combination of commits mentioned above broke fuzz-commit-graph,
which attempts to parse arbitrary fuzzing-engine-provided bytes as a
commit graph file. Prior to this change, parse_commit_graph() called
prepare_repo_settings(), but since we run the fuzz tests without a valid
repository, we are hitting the BUG() from 44c7e62 for every test case.

1e0ea5c431 fsmonitor: config settings are repository-specific
Move fsmonitor config settings to a new and opaque
`struct fsmonitor_settings` structure.  Add a lazily-loaded pointer
to this into `struct repo_settings`

Create an `enum fsmonitor_mode` type in `struct fsmonitor_settings` to
represent the state of fsmonitor.  This lets us represent which, if
any, fsmonitor provider (hook or IPC) is enabled.

Create `fsm_settings__get_*()` getters to lazily look up fsmonitor-
related config settings.

Get rid of the `core_fsmonitor` global variable.  Move the code to
lookup the existing `core.fsmonitor` config value into the fsmonitor
settings.

Create a hook pathname variable in `struct fsmonitor-settings` and
only set it when in hook mode.

Extend the definition of `core.fsmonitor` to be either a boolean
or a hook pathname.  When true, the builtin FSMonitor is used.
When false or unset, no FSMonitor (neither builtin nor hook) is
used.

The existing `core_fsmonitor` global variable was used to store the
pathname to the fsmonitor hook *and* it was used as a boolean to see
if fsmonitor was enabled.  This dual usage and global visibility leads
to confusion when we add the IPC-based provider.  So lets hide the
details in fsmonitor-settings.c and let it decide which provider to
use in the case of multiple settings.  This avoids cluttering up
repo-settings.c with these private details.

A future commit in builtin-fsmonitor series will add the ability to
disqualify worktrees for various reasons, such as being mounted from a
remote volume, where fsmonitor should not be started.  Having the
config settings hidden in fsmonitor-settings.c allows such worktree
restrictions to override the config values used.

759f340738 repository.c: free the "path cache" in repo_clear()
The "struct path_cache" added in 102de880d2 (path.c: migrate global
git_path_* to take a repository argument, 2018-05-17) is only used
directly by code in repository.[ch] (but populated in path.[ch]).

Let's move this code to repository.[ch], and stop leaking this memory
when we run repo_clear(). To avoid the cast change it from a "const
char *" to a "char *".

This also removes the "PATH_CACHE_INIT" macro, which has never been
used for anything. For the "struct repository" we already make a hard
assumption that it (and "the_repository") can be identically
initialized by making it a "static" variable, so making use of a
"PATH_CACHE_INIT" somewhere would have been confusing.
