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.

Allow users to limit or exclude files based on file attributes
during git-add and git-stash.
For example, the chromium project would like to use
$ git add . ':(exclude,attr:submodule)'
as submodules are managed by an external tool, forbidding end users
to record changes with "git add". Allowing "git add" to often
records changes that users do not want in their commits.
This commit does not change any attr magic implementation. It is
only adding attr as an allowed pathspec in git-add and git-stash,
which was previously blocked by GUARD_PATHSPEC and a pathspec mask
in parse_pathspec()).
However, we fix a bug in prefix_magic() where attr values were
unintentionally removed. This was triggerable when parse_pathspec()
is called with PATHSPEC_PREFIX_ORIGIN as a flag, which was the case
for git-stash (Bug originally filed here [*])
Furthermore, while other commands hit this code path it did not
result in unexpected behavior because this bug only impacts the
pathspec->items->original field which is NOT used to filter
paths. However, git-stash does use pathspec->items->original when
building args used to call other git commands. (See add_pathspecs()
usage and implementation in stash.c)
It is possible that when the attr pathspec feature was first added
in b0db704652 (pathspec: allow querying for attributes, 2017-03-13),
"PATHSPEC_ATTR" was just unintentionally left out of a few
GUARD_PATHSPEC() invocations.
Later, to get a more user-friendly error message when attr was used
with git-add, PATHSPEC_ATTR was added as a mask to git-add's
invocation of parse_pathspec() 84d938b732 (add: do not accept
pathspec magic 'attr', 2018-09-18). However, this user-friendly
error message was never added for git-stash.

You trigger a `BUG`:

Because `..` is a valid path which is treated as a pathspec. Then
`pathspec` figures out that it is not in the current directory tree. The

hash.h depends upon and includes repository.h, due to the definition and
use of the_hash_algo (defined as the_repository->hash_algo). However,
most headers trying to include hash.h are only interested in the layout
of the structs like object_id. Move the parts of hash.h that do not
depend upon repository.h into a new file hash-ll.h (the "low level"
parts of hash.h), and adjust other files to use this new header where
the convenience inline functions aren't needed.
This allows hash.h and object.h to be fairly small, minimal headers. It
also exposes a lot of hidden dependencies on both path.h (which was

"git check-attr" learned to take an optional tree-ish to read the
.gitattributes file from.
* kn/attr-from-tree:
attr: add flag `--source` to work with tree-ish
t0003: move setup for `--all` into new block
The contents of the .gitattributes files may evolve over time, but "git
check-attr" always checks attributes against them in the working tree
and/or in the index. It may be beneficial to optionally allow the users
to check attributes taken from a commit other than HEAD against paths.
Add a new flag `--source` which will allow users to check the
attributes against a commit (actually any tree-ish would do). When the
user uses this flag, we go through the stack of .gitattributes files but
instead of checking the current working tree and/or in the index, we
check the blobs from the provided tree-ish object. This allows the
command to also be used in bare repositories.
Since we use a tree-ish object, the user can pass "--source
HEAD:subdirectory" and all the attributes will be looked up as if
subdirectory was the root directory of the repository.
We cannot simply use the `<rev>:<path>` syntax without the `--source`
flag, similar to how it is used in `git show` because any non-flag
parameter before `--` is treated as an attribute and any parameter after
`--` is treated as a pathname.
The change involves creating a new function `read_attr_from_blob`, which
given the path reads the blob for the path against the provided source and
parses the attributes line by line. This function is plugged into
`read_attr()` function wherein we go through the stack of attributes
files.

A git subcommand like "git add -p" spawns a separate git process
while relaying its command line arguments. A pathspec with only
negative elements was mistakenly passed with an empty string, which
has been corrected.
* jc/all-negative-pathspec:
pathspec: correct an empty string used as a pathspec element
Pathspecs with only negative elements did not work with some
commands that pass the pathspec along to a subprocess. For
instance,
$ git add -p -- ':!*.txt'
should add everything except for paths ending in ".txt", but it gets
complaint from underlying "diff-index" and aborts.
We used to error out when a pathspec with only negative elements in
it, like the one in the above example. Later, 859b7f1d (pathspec:
don't error out on all-exclusionary pathspec patterns, 2017-02-07)
updated the logic to add an empty string as an extra element. The
intention was to let the extra element to match everything and let
the negative ones given by the user to subtract from it.
At around the same time, we were migrating from "an empty string is
a valid pathspec element that matches everything" to "either a dot
or ":/" is used to match all, and an empty string is rejected",
between d426430e (pathspec: warn on empty strings as pathspec,
2016-06-22) and 9e4e8a64 (pathspec: die on empty strings as
pathspec, 2017-06-06). I think 9e4e8a64, which happened long after
859b7f1d happened, was not careful enough to turn the empty string
859b7f1d added to either a dot or ":/".
A care should be taken as the definition of "everything" depends on
subcommand. For the purpose of "add -p", adding a "." to add
everything in the current directory is the right thing to do. But
for some other commands, ":/" (i.e. really really everything, even
things outside the current subdirectory) is the right choice.
We would break commands in a big way if we get this wrong, so add a
handful of test pieces to make sure the resulting code still
excludes the paths that are expected and includes "everything" else.

When 'git add' adds a tracked file that is outside of the
sparse-checkout cone, it checks the SKIP_WORKTREE bit to see if the file
exists outside of the sparse-checkout cone. This is usually correct,
except in the case of a merge conflict outside of the cone.
Modify add_pathspec_matched_against_index() to be more careful about
paths by checking the sparse-checkout patterns in addition to the
SKIP_WORKTREE bit. This causes 'git add' to no longer allow files
outside of the cone that removed the SKIP_WORKTREE bit due to a merge
conflict.
With only this change, users will only be able to add the file after
adding the file to the sparse-checkout cone. A later change will allow
users to force adding even though the file is outside of the

The add_pathspec_matches_against_index() focuses on matching a pathspec
to file entries in the index. This already works correctly for its only
use: checking if untracked files exist in the index.
The compatibility checks in t1092 already test that 'git add <dir>'
works for a directory outside of the sparse cone. That provides coverage
for removing this guard.
This finalizes our ability to run 'git add .' without expanding a sparse
index to a full one. This is evidenced by an update to t1092 and by
these performance numbers for p2000-sparse-operations.sh:
Test HEAD~1 HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2000.10: git add . (full-index-v3) 0.37(0.28+0.07) 0.36(0.27+0.06) -2.7%
2000.11: git add . (full-index-v4) 0.33(0.26+0.06) 0.32(0.28+0.05) -3.0%
2000.12: git add . (sparse-index-v3) 0.57(0.53+0.07) 0.06(0.06+0.07) -89.5%
2000.13: git add . (sparse-index-v4) 0.57(0.53+0.07) 0.05(0.03+0.09) -91.2%
While the ~90% improvement is shown by the test results, it is worth
noting that expanding the sparse index was adding overhead in previous
commits. Comparing to the full index case, we see the performance go
from 0.33s to 0.05s, an 85% improvement.

subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae5
(setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12).
The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch
(cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not
terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan
is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.
Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop.
This trick was performed by this invocation:
sed -i 's/die("BUG: /BUG("/g' $(git grep -l 'die("BUG' \*.c)

The final step to make an empty string as a pathspec element
illegal. We started this by first deprecating and warning a
pathspec that has such an element in 2.11 (Nov 2016).
Hopefully we can merge this down to the 'master' by the end of the
year? A deprecation warning period that is about 1 year does not
sound too bad.
* ex/deprecate-empty-pathspec-as-match-all:
pathspec: die on empty strings as pathspec
t0027: do not use an empty string as a pathspec element
The command line arguments passed to main() are valid for the life of
a program, but the same is not true for all other argv-style arrays
(e.g. when a caller creates an argv_array). Clarify that
parse_pathspec does not rely on the argv passed to it to remain valid.
This makes it easier to tell that callers like "git rev-list --stdin"
are safe and ensures that that is more likely to remain true as the
implementation of parse_pathspec evolves.

A common pattern to free a piece of memory and assign NULL to the
pointer that used to point at it has been replaced with a new
FREE_AND_NULL() macro.
* ab/free-and-null:
*.[ch] refactoring: make use of the FREE_AND_NULL() macro
coccinelle: make use of the "expression" FREE_AND_NULL() rule
coccinelle: add a rule to make "expression" code use FREE_AND_NULL()
coccinelle: make use of the "type" FREE_AND_NULL() rule
coccinelle: add a rule to make "type" code use FREE_AND_NULL()
git-compat-util: add a FREE_AND_NULL() wrapper around free(ptr); ptr = NULL
