This lays the groundwork for the next patch, which needs the backlink
returned from infer_backlink() as a `strbuf`. It seemed inefficient to
convert from `strbuf` to `char*` and back to `strbuf` again.
This refactors infer_backlink() to return an integer result and use a
pre-allocated `strbuf` for the inferred backlink path, replacing the
previous `char*` return type and improving efficiency.

For each linked worktree, Git maintains two pointers: (1)
<repo>/worktrees/<id>/gitdir which points at the linked worktree, and
(2) <worktree>/.git which points back at <repo>/worktrees/<id>. Both
pointers are absolute pathnames.
Aside from manually manipulating those raw files, it is possible to
easily "break" one or both pointers by ignoring the "git worktree move"
command and instead manually moving a linked worktree, moving the
repository, or moving both. The "git worktree repair" command was
invented to handle this case by restoring these pointers to sane values.
For the "repair" command, the "git worktree" manual page states:
Repair worktree administrative files, if possible, if they have
become corrupted or outdated due to external factors.
The "if possible" clause was chosen deliberately to convey that the
existing implementation may not be able to fix every possible breakage,
and to imply that improvements may be made to handle other types of
breakage.
A recent problem report[*] illustrates a case in which "git worktree
repair" not only fails to fix breakage, but actually causes breakage.
Specifically, if a repository / main-worktree and linked worktrees are
*copied* as a unit (rather than *moved*), then "git worktree repair" run
in the copy leaves the copy untouched but botches the pointers in the
original repository and the original worktrees.
For instance, given this directory structure:
orig/
main/ (main-worktree)
linked/ (linked worktree)
if "orig" is copied (not moved) to "dup", then immediately after the
manual copy operation:
* orig/main/.git/worktrees/linked/gitdir points at orig/linked/.git
* orig/linked/.git points at orig/main/.git/worktrees/linked
* dup/main/.git/worktrees/linked/gitdir points at orig/linked/.git
* dup/linked/.git points at orig/main/.git/worktrees/linked
So, dup/main thinks its linked worktree is orig/linked, and worktree
dup/linked thinks its repository / main-worktree is orig/main.
"git worktree repair" is reasonably simple-minded; it wants to trust
valid-looking pointers, hence doesn't try to second-guess them. In this
case, when validating dup/linked/.git, it finds a legitimate repository
pointer, orig/main/.git/worktrees/linked, thus trusts that is correct,
but does notice that gitdir in that directory doesn't point at
dup/linked/.git, so it (incorrectly) _fixes_
orig/main/.git/worktrees/linked/gitdir to point at dup/linked/.git.
Similarly, when validating dup/main/.git/worktrees/linked/gitdir, it
finds a legitimate worktree pointer, orig/linked/.git, but notices that
its .git file doesn't point back at dup/main, thus (incorrectly) _fixes_
orig/linked/.git to point at dup/main/.git/worktrees/linked. Hence, it
has modified and broken the linkage between orig/main and orig/linked
rather than fixing dup/main and dup/linked as expected.
Fix this problem by also checking if a plausible .git/worktrees/<id>
exists in the *current* repository -- not just in the repository pointed
at by the worktree's .git file -- and comparing whether they are the
same. If not, then it is likely because the repository / main-worktree
and linked worktrees were copied, so prefer the discovered plausible
pointer rather than the one from the existing .git file.

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.

In `get_worktree_ref_store()` we either return the repository's main ref
store, or we look up the ref store via the map of worktree ref stores.
Which of these worktrees gets picked depends on the `is_current` bit of
the worktree, which indicates whether the worktree is the one that
corresponds to `the_repository`.
The bit is getting set in `get_worktrees()`, but only after we have
computed the list of all worktrees. This is too late though, because at
that time we have already called `get_worktree_ref_store()` on each of
the worktrees via `add_head_info()`. The consequence is that the current
worktree will not have been marked accordingly, which means that we did
not use the main ref store, but instead created a new ref store. We thus
have two separate ref stores now that map to the same ref database.
Fix this by setting `is_current` before we call `add_head_info()`.

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

The implementation ensures that a # character is unconditionally
prepended to the provided comment string, and that the comment

"git status" is taught to show both the branch being bisected and
being rebased when both are in effect at the same time.
* rj/status-bisect-while-rebase:
status: fix branch shown when not only bisecting
When calling `git init --separate-git-dir=<new-path>` on a preexisting
repository, we move the Git directory of that repository to the new path
specified by the user. If there are worktrees present in the repository,
we need to repair the worktrees so that their gitlinks point to the new
location of the repository.
This repair logic will load repositories via `get_worktrees()`, which
will enumerate up and initialize all worktrees. Part of initialization
is logic that we resolve their respective worktree HEADs, even though
that information may not actually be needed in the end by all callers.
Although not a problem presently with the file-based reference backend,
it will become a problem with the upcoming reftable backend. In the
context of git-init(1) we do not have a fully-initialized repository set
up via `setup_git_directory()` or friends. Consequently, we do not know
about the repository format when `repair_worktrees()` is called, and
properly setting up all parts of the repositroy in `init_db()` before we
try to repair worktrees is not an easy task. With the introduction of
the reftable backend, we would ultimately try to look up the worktree
HEADs before we have figured out the reference format, which does not
work.
We do not require the worktree HEADs at all to repair worktrees. So
let's fix this issue by skipping over the step that reads them.

In 83c750acde (wt-status.*: better advice for git status added,
2012-06-05), git-status received new informative messages to describe
the ongoing work in a worktree.
These messages were enhanced in 0722c805d6 (status: show the branch name
if possible in in-progress info, 2013-02-03), to show, if possible, the
branch where the operation was initiated.
Since then, we show incorrect information when several operations are in
progress and one of them is bisect:
$ git checkout -b foo
$ GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR='echo break >' git rebase -i HEAD~
$ git checkout -b bar
$ git bisect start
$ git status
...
You are currently editing a commit while rebasing branch 'bar' on '...'.
You are currently bisecting, started from branch 'bar'.
...
Note that we erroneously say "while rebasing branch 'bar'" when we
should be referring to "foo".
This must have gone unnoticed for so long because it must be unusual to
start a bisection while another operation is in progress. And even less
usual to involve different branches.
It caught my attention reviewing a leak introduced in 8b87cfd000
(wt-status: move strbuf into read_and_strip_branch(), 2013-03-16).
A simple change to deal with this situation can be to record in struct
wt_status_state, the branch where the bisect starts separately from the
branch related to other operations.
Let's do it and so we'll be able to display correct information and
we'll avoid the leak as well.

Plumb "struct key_value_info" through all code paths that end in
die_bad_number(), which lets us remove the helper functions that read
analogous values from "struct config_reader". As a result, nothing reads
config_reader.config_kvi any more, so remove that too.
In config.c, this requires changing the signature of
git_configset_get_value() to 'return' "kvi" in an out parameter so that
git_configset_get_<type>() can pass it to git_config_<type>(). Only
numeric types will use "kvi", so for non-numeric types (e.g.
git_configset_get_string()), pass NULL to indicate that the out
parameter isn't needed.
Outside of config.c, config callbacks now need to pass "ctx->kvi" to any
of the git_config_<type>() functions that parse a config string into a
number type. Included is a .cocci patch to make that refactor.
The only exceptional case is builtin/config.c, where git_config_<type>()
is called outside of a config callback (namely, on user-provided input),
so config source information has never been available. In this case,
die_bad_number() defaults to a generic, but perfectly descriptive
message. Let's provide a safe, non-NULL for "kvi" anyway, but make sure
not to change the message.

Unfortunately we implemented it by checking the flag is_current in the

When the same branch is checked out in several worktrees simultaneously,
find_shared_symref() will return the first matching worktree in the list
composed by get_worktrees(). If one of the worktrees with the checked

* parse_worktree_ref() in worktree.c
Collapse this logic together in one function parse_worktree_ref():
this avoids having to cross-check the result of parse_worktree_ref()

Introduce enum ref_worktree_type, which is slightly different from
enum ref_type. The latter is a misleading name (one would think that
'ref_type' would have the symref option).
Instead, enum ref_worktree_type only makes explicit how a refname
relates to a worktree. From this point of view, HEAD and

implicitly.

Upgrading a repository to use extensions.worktreeConfig is non-trivial.

method is carefully documented in worktree.h.
Note that we do _not_ upgrade the repository format version to 1 during

Remove the now-unused "failure_errno" parameter from the
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() signature. In my recent 96f6623ada (Merge
branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2021-11-29) series we made all of its
callers explicitly request the errno via an output parameter.
As that series shows all but one caller ended up passing in a
boilerplate "ignore_errno", since they only cared about whether the
return value was NULL or not, i.e. if the ref could be resolved.
There was one small issue with that series fixed with a follow-up in
31e3912369 (Merge branch 'ab/refs-errno-cleanup', 2022-01-14) a small
bug in that series was fixed.
After those two there was one caller left in sequencer.c that used the
"failure_errno', but as of the preceding commit it uses a boilerplate
"ignore_errno" instead.
This leaves the public refs API without any use of "failure_errno" at
all. We could still do with a bit of cleanup and generalization
between refs.c and refs/files-backend.c before the "reftable"
integration lands, but that's all internal to the reference code
itself.
So let's remove this output parameter. Not only isn't it used now, but
it's unlikely that we'll want it again in the future. We'd like to
slowly move the refs API to a more file-backend independent way of
communicating error codes, having it use a "failure_errno" was only
the first step in that direction. If this or any other function needs
to communicate what specifically is wrong with the requested "refname"
it'll be better to have the function set some output enum of
well-defined error states than piggy-backend on "errno".

Storing the worktrees list in a static variable meant that
find_shared_symref() had to rebuild the list on each call (which is
inefficient when the call site is in a loop), and also that each call
invalidated the pointer returned by the previous call (which is
confusing).
Instead, make it the caller’s responsibility to pass in the worktrees
list and manage its lifetime.

Rename the transitory refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() function to
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe(), now that all callers of the old function
have learned to pass in a "failure_errno" parameter.
The coccinelle semantic patch added in the preceding commit works, but
I couldn't figure out how to get spatch(1) to re-flow these argument
lists (and sometimes make lines way too long), so this rename was done
with:
perl -pi -e 's/refs_werrres_ref_unsafe/refs_resolve_ref_unsafe/g' \
$(git grep -l refs_werrres_ref_unsafe -- '*.c')
But after that "make contrib/coccinelle/refs.cocci.patch" comes up
empty, so the result would have been the same. Let's remove that
transitory semantic patch file, we won't need to retain it for any
other in-flight changes, refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() only existed within
this patch series.

There are only handful of callers of find_shared_symref(), none of
whom care about errno, so let's migrate to the non-errno-propagating
version of refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() and explicitly ignore errno here.

The static add_head_info() function is only used indirectly by callers
of get_worktrees(), none of whom care about errno, and even if they
did having the faked-up one from refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() would only
confuse them if they used die_errno() et al. So let's explicitly
ignore it here.

Remove the refs_read_ref_full() wrapper in favor of migrating various
refs.c API users to the underlying refs_werrres_ref_unsafe() function.
A careful reading of these callers shows that the callers of this
function did not care about "errno", by moving away from the
refs_resolve_ref_unsafe() wrapper we can be sure that nothing relies
on it anymore.
