Many developers use functionality in their editors that allows for quick
syntax checks, including warning about questionable constructs. This
functionality allows rapid development with fewer errors. However, such
functionality generally does not allow the specification of
project-specific defines or command-line options.
Since the SHA1_HEADER include is not defined in such a case,
developers see spurious errors when using these tools. Furthermore,
there are known implementations of "cc" whose '#include' is unhappy
with this construct.
Instead of using SHA1_HEADER, create a hash.h header and use #if
and #elif to select the desired header. Have the Makefile pass an
appropriate option to help the header select the right implementation to
use.
[jc: make BLK_SHA1 the fallback default as discussed on list,
e.g. <20170314201424.vccij5z2ortq4a4o@sigill.intra.peff.net>; also

In 4ac9006f83 (real_path: have callers use real_pathdup and
strbuf_realpath, 2016-12-12), we changed the xstrdup(real_path())
pattern to use real_pathdup() directly.
The problem with this change is that real_path() calls
strbuf_realpath() with die_on_error = 1 while real_pathdup() calls
it with die_on_error = 0. Meaning that in cases where real_path()
causes Git to die() with an error message, real_pathdup() is silent
and returns NULL instead.
The callers, however, are ill-prepared for that change, as they expect
the return value to be non-NULL (and otherwise the function died
with an appropriate error message).
Fix this by extending real_pathdup()'s signature to accept the
die_on_error flag and simply pass it through to strbuf_realpath(),
and then adjust all callers after a careful audit whether they would
handle NULLs well.

The interpret_branch_name() function converts names like
@{-1} and @{upstream} into branch names. The expanded ref
names are not fully qualified, and may be outside of the
refs/heads/ namespace (e.g., "@" expands to "HEAD", and
"@{upstream}" is likely to be in "refs/remotes/").
This is OK for callers like dwim_ref() which are primarily
interested in resolving the resulting name, no matter where
it is. But callers like "git branch" treat the result as a
branch name in refs/heads/. When we expand to a ref outside
that namespace, the results are very confusing (e.g., "git
branch @" tries to create refs/heads/HEAD, which is
nonsense).
Callers can't know from the returned string how the
expansion happened (e.g., did the user really ask for a
branch named "HEAD", or did we do a bogus expansion?). One
fix would be to return some out-parameters describing the
types of expansion that occurred. This has the benefit that
the caller can generate precise error messages ("I
understood @{upstream} to mean origin/master, but that is a
remote tracking branch, so you cannot create it as a local
name").
However, out-parameters make the function interface somewhat
cumbersome. Instead, let's do the opposite: let the caller
tell us which elements to expand. That's easier to pass in,
and none of the callers give more precise error messages
than "@{upstream} isn't a valid branch name" anyway (which
should be sufficient).
The strbuf_branchname() function needs a similar parameter,
as most of the callers access interpret_branch_name()
through it.
We can break the callers down into two groups:
1. Callers that are happy with any kind of ref in the
result. We pass "0" here, so they continue to work
without restrictions. This includes merge_name(),
the reflog handling in add_pending_object_with_path(),
and substitute_branch_name(). This last is what powers
dwim_ref().
2. Callers that have funny corner cases (mostly in
git-branch and git-checkout). These need to make use of
the new parameter, but I've left them as "0" in this
patch, and will address them individually in follow-on
patches.

The parse_config_key() function was introduced to make it
easier to match "section.subsection.key" variables. It also
handles the simpler "section.key", and the caller is
responsible for distinguishing the two from its
out-parameters.
Most callers who _only_ want "section.key" would just use a
strcmp(var, "section.key"), since there is no parsing
required. However, they may still use parse_config_key() if
their "section" variable isn't a constant (an example of
this is in parse_hide_refs_config).
Using the parse_config_key is a bit clunky, though:
const char *subsection;
int subsection_len;
const char *key;
if (!parse_config_key(var, section, &subsection, &subsection_len, &key) &&
!subsection) {
/* matched! */
}
Instead, let's treat a NULL subsection as an indication that
the caller does not expect one. That lets us write:
const char *key;
if (!parse_config_key(var, section, NULL, NULL, &key)) {
/* matched! */
}
Existing callers should be unaffected, as passing a NULL
subsection would currently segfault.

When a submodule "A", which has another submodule "B" nested within

* sb/submodule-recursive-absorb:
submodule absorbing: fix worktree/gitdir pointers recursively for non-moves
cache.h: expose the dying procedure for reading gitlinks
setup: add gentle version of resolve_git_dir
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).
However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than
the performance implications of keeping the log around.
This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

It's surprisingly hard to ask the sha1_file code to open a
_specific_ incarnation of a loose object. Most of the
functions take a sha1, and loop over the various object
types (packed versus loose) and locations (local versus
alternates) at a low level.
However, some tools like fsck need to look at a specific
file. This patch gives them a function they can use to open
the loose object at a given path.
The implementation unfortunately ends up repeating bits of
related functions, but there's not a good way around it
without some major refactoring of the whole sha1_file stack.
We need to mmap the specific file, then partially read the
zlib stream to know whether we're streaming or not, and then
finally either stream it or copy the data to a buffer.
We can do that by assembling some of the more arcane
internal sha1_file functions, but we end up having to
essentially reimplement unpack_sha1_file(), along with the
streaming bits of check_sha1_signature().
Still, most of the ugliness is contained in the new
function, and the interface is clean enough that it may be
reusable (though it seems unlikely anything but git-fsck
would care about opening a specific file).
