Background tasks "git maintenance" runs may need to use credential
information when going over the network, but a credential helper
may work only in an interactive environment, and end up blocking a

b9183b0a02 scalar: configure maintenance during 'reconfigure'
The 'scalar reconfigure' command is intended to update registered repos
with the latest settings available. However, up to now we were not
reregistering the repos with background maintenance.

In particular, this meant that the background maintenance schedule would
not be updated if there are improvements between versions.

Be sure to register repos for maintenance during the reconfigure step.

ce31b82ca9 scalar: add --no-tags option to 'scalar clone'
Some large repositories use tags to track a huge list of release
versions. While this choice is costly on the ref advertisement, it is
further wasteful for clients who do not need those tags. Allow clients
to optionally skip the tag advertisement.

This behavior is similar to that of 'git clone --no-tags' implemented in
0dab2468ee (clone: add a --no-tags option to clone without tags,
2017-04-26), including the modification of the remote.origin.tagOpt
config value to include "--no-tags".

One thing that is opposite of the 'git clone' implementation is that
this allows '--tags' as an assumed option, which can be naturally negated
with '--no-tags'. The clone command does not accept '--tags' but allows
"--no-no-tags" as the negation of its '--no-tags' option.

While testing this option, combine the test with the previously untested
'--no-src' option introduced in 4527db8ff8 (scalar: add --[no-]src
option, 2023-08-28).

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.

b64b0df9da scalar: avoid segfault in reconfigure --all
During the latest v2.45.0 update, 'scalar reconfigure --all' started to
segfault on my machine. Breaking it down via the debugger, it was
faulting on a NULL reference to the_hash_algo, which is a macro pointing
to the_repository->hash_algo.

In my case, this is due to one of my repositories having a detached HEAD,
which requires get_oid_hex() to parse that the HEAD reference is valid.
Another way to cause a failure is to use the "includeIf.onbranch" config
key, which will lead to a BUG() statement.

My first inclination was to try to refactor cmd_reconfigure() to execute
'git for-each-repo' instead of this loop. In addition to the difficulty
of executing 'scalar reconfigure' within 'git for-each-repo', it would
be difficult to perform the clean-up logic for non-existent repos if we
relied on that child process.

Instead, I chose to move the temporary repo to be within the loop and
reinstate the_repository to its old value after we are done performing
logic on the current array item.

Add tests to t9210-scalar.sh to test 'scalar reconfigure --all' with
multiple registered repos. There are two different ways that the old
use of the_repository could trigger bugs. These issues are being solved
independently to be more careful about the_repository being
uninitialized, but the change in this patch around the use of
the_repository is still a good safety precaution.

f9a547d3a7 scalar reconfigure: help users remove buggy repos
When running 'scalar reconfigure -a', Scalar has warning messages about
the repository missing (or not containing a .git directory). Failures
can also happen while trying to modify the repository-local config for
that repository.

These warnings may seem confusing to users who don't understand what
they mean or how to stop them.

Add a warning that instructs the user how to remove the warning in
future installations.

4527db8ff8 scalar: add --[no-]src option
Some users have strong aversions to Scalar's opinion that the repository
should be in a 'src' directory, even though this creates a clean slate
for placing build artifacts in adjacent directories.

The new --no-src option allows users to opt out of the default behavior.

While adding options, make sure the usage output by 'scalar clone -h'
reports the same as the SYNOPSIS line in Documentation/scalar.txt.

a4e7e317f8 config: add ctx arg to config_fn_t
Add a new "const struct config_context *ctx" arg to config_fn_t to hold
additional information about the config iteration operation.
config_context has a "struct key_value_info kvi" member that holds
metadata about the config source being read (e.g. what kind of config
source it is, the filename, etc). In this series, we're only interested
in .kvi, so we could have just used "struct key_value_info" as an arg,
but config_context makes it possible to add/adjust members in the future
without changing the config_fn_t signature. We could also consider other
ways of organizing the args (e.g. moving the config name and value into
config_context or key_value_info), but in my experiments, the
incremental benefit doesn't justify the added complexity (e.g. a
config_fn_t will sometimes invoke another config_fn_t but with a
different config value).

In subsequent commits, the .kvi member will replace the global "struct
config_reader" in config.c, making config iteration a global-free
operation. It requires much more work for the machinery to provide
meaningful values of .kvi, so for now, merely change the signature and
call sites, pass NULL as a placeholder value, and don't rely on the arg
in any meaningful way.

Most of the changes are performed by
contrib/coccinelle/config_fn_ctx.pending.cocci, which, for every
config_fn_t:

- Modifies the signature to accept "const struct config_context *ctx"
- Passes "ctx" to any inner config_fn_t, if needed
- Adds UNUSED attributes to "ctx", if needed

Most config_fn_t instances are easily identified by seeing if they are
called by the various config functions. Most of the remaining ones are
manually named in the .cocci patch. Manual cleanups are still needed,
but the majority of it is trivial; it's either adjusting config_fn_t
that the .cocci patch didn't catch, or adding forward declarations of
"struct config_context ctx" to make the signatures make sense.

The non-trivial changes are in cases where we are invoking a config_fn_t
outside of config machinery, and we now need to decide what value of
"ctx" to pass. These cases are:

- trace2/tr2_cfg.c:tr2_cfg_set_fl()

  This is indirectly called by git_config_set() so that the trace2
  machinery can notice the new config values and update its settings
  using the tr2 config parsing function, i.e. tr2_cfg_cb().

- builtin/checkout.c:checkout_main()

  This calls git_xmerge_config() as a shorthand for parsing a CLI arg.
  This might be worth refactoring away in the future, since
  git_xmerge_config() can call git_default_config(), which can do much
  more than just parsing.

Handle them by creating a KVI_INIT macro that initializes "struct
key_value_info" to a reasonable default, and use that to construct the
"ctx" arg.

6ba21fa65c mark "argv" as unused when we check argc
A few commands don't take any options at all, and confirm this by
checking argc. After that they have no need to look at argv, but we're
still stuck with it by convention. Let's annotate these cases so that
the compiler doesn't complain with -Wunused-parameter.

Note that in scalar and get-tar-commit-id, we're forced to keep argv by
calling convention (the functions must match cmd_main() and builtin
cmd_foo() conventions, respectively). In diff, these are subcommand
modes that we call individually, so we _could_ just drop the argv
parameters entirely. But it's weird to pass argc without argv, and it
implies that the caller knows that the subcommands aren't interested in
further arguments. It's less confusing to just keep them and silence the
compiler warning.

dea6308892 scalar: only warn when background maintenance fails
A user reported issues with 'scalar clone' and 'scalar register' when
working in an environment that had locked down the ability to run
'crontab' or 'systemctl' in that those commands registered as _failures_
instead of opportunistically reporting a success with just a warning
about background maintenance.

As a workaround, they can use GIT_TEST_MAINT_SCHEDULER to fake a
successful background maintenance, but this is not a viable strategy for
long-term.

Update 'scalar register' and 'scalar clone' to no longer fail by
modifying register_dir() to only warn when toggle_maintenance(1) fails.

Since background maintenance is a "nice to have" and not a requirement
for a working repository, it is best to move this from hard error to
gentle warning.

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.

d871b6c6c6 scalar: make 'unregister' idempotent
The 'scalar unregister' command removes a repository from the list of
registered Scalar repositories and removes it from the list of
repositories registered for background maintenance. If the repository
was not already registered for background maintenance, then the command
fails, even if the repository was still registered as a Scalar
repository.

After using 'scalar clone' or 'scalar register', the repository would be
enrolled in background maintenance since those commands run 'git
maintenance start'. If the user runs 'git maintenance unregister' on
that repository, then it is still in the list of repositories which get
new config updates from 'scalar reconfigure'. The 'scalar unregister'
command would fail since 'git maintenance unregister' would fail.

Further, the add_or_remove_enlistment() method in scalar.c already has
this idempotent nature built in as an expectation since it returns zero
when the scalar.repo list already has the proper containment of the
repository.

The previous change added the 'git maintenance unregister --force'
option, so use it within 'scalar unregister' to make it idempotent.

7b5c93c6c6 scalar: include in standard Git build & installation
Move 'scalar' out of 'contrib/' and into the root of the Git tree. The goal
of this change is to build 'scalar' as part of the standard Git build &
install processes.

This patch includes both the physical move of Scalar's files out of
'contrib/' ('scalar.c', 'scalar.txt', and 't9xxx-scalar.sh'), and the
changes to the build definitions in 'Makefile' and 'CMakelists.txt' to
accommodate the new program.

At a high level, Scalar is built so that:
- there is a 'scalar-objs' target (similar to those created in 029bac01a8
  (Makefile: add {program,xdiff,test,git,fuzz}-objs & objects targets,
  2021-02-23)) for debugging purposes.
- it appears in the root of the install directory (rather than the
  gitexecdir).
- it is included in the 'bin-wrappers/' directory for use in tests.
- it receives a platform-specific executable suffix (e.g., '.exe'), if
  applicable.
- 'scalar.txt' is installed as 'man1' documentation.
- the 'clean' target removes the 'scalar' executable.

Additionally, update the root level '.gitignore' file to ignore the Scalar
executable.
