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.

A server can end up in a state where there are lots of unreferenced
loose objects (say, because many users are doing a bunch of rebasing
and pushing their rebased branches). Running "git gc --auto" in
this state would cause a gc.log file to be created, preventing
future auto gcs, causing pack files to pile up. Since many git
operations are O(n) in the number of pack files, this would lead to
poor performance.
Git should never get itself into a state where it refuses to do any
maintenance, just because at some point some piece of the maintenance
didn't make progress.
Teach Git to ignore gc.log files which are older than (by default)
one day old, which can be tweaked via the gc.logExpiry configuration
variable. That way, these pack files will get cleaned up, if
necessary, at least once per day. And operators who find a need for
more-frequent gcs can adjust gc.logExpiry to meet their needs.
There is also some cleanup: a successful manual gc, or a
warning-free auto gc with an old log file, will remove any old
gc.log files.
It might still happen that manual intervention is required
(e.g. because the repo is corrupt), but at the very least it won't
be because Git is too dumb to try again.

prune_cache() first identifies those entries at the start of the sorted

Last it identifies the unwanted trailing entries among the moved ones

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).

The recent fixes to "fsck --connectivity-only" load all of
the objects with their correct types. This keeps the
connectivity-only code path close to the regular one, but it
also introduces some unnecessary inefficiency. While getting
the type of an object is cheap compared to actually opening
and parsing the object (as the non-connectivity-only case
would do), it's still not free.
For reachable non-blob objects, we end up having to parse
them later anyway (to see what they point to), making our
type lookup here redundant.
For unreachable objects, we might never hit them at all in
the reachability traversal, making the lookup completely
wasted. And in some cases, we might have quite a few
unreachable objects (e.g., when alternates are used for
shared object storage between repositories, it's normal for
there to be objects reachable from other repositories but
not the one running fsck).
The comment in mark_object_for_connectivity() claims two
benefits to getting the type up front:
1. We need to know the types during fsck_walk(). (And not
explicitly mentioned, but we also need them when
printing the types of broken or dangling commits).
We can address this by lazy-loading the types as
necessary. Most objects never need this lazy-load at
all, because they fall into one of these categories:
a. Reachable from our tips, and are coerced into the
correct type as we traverse (e.g., a parent link
will call lookup_commit(), which converts OBJ_NONE
to OBJ_COMMIT).
b. Unreachable, but not at the tip of a chunk of
unreachable history. We only mention the tips as
"dangling", so an unreachable commit which links
to hundreds of other objects needs only report the
type of the tip commit.
2. It serves as a cross-check that the coercion in (1a) is
correct (i.e., we'll complain about a parent link that
points to a blob). But we get most of this for free
already, because right after coercing, we'll parse any
non-blob objects. So we'd notice then if we expected a
commit and got a blob.
The one exception is when we expect a blob, in which
case we never actually read the object contents.
So this is a slight weakening, but given that the whole
point of --connectivity-only is to sacrifice some data
integrity checks for speed, this seems like an
acceptable tradeoff.
Here are before and after timings for an extreme case with
~5M reachable objects and another ~12M unreachable (it's the
torvalds/linux repository on GitHub, connected to shared
storage for all of the other kernel forks):
[before]
$ time git fsck --no-dangling --connectivity-only

When an object has a problem, we mention its type. But we do
so by feeding the result of typename() directly to
fprintf(). This is potentially dangerous because typename()
can return NULL for some type values (like OBJ_NONE).
It's doubtful that this can be triggered in practice with
the current code, so this is probably not fixing a bug. But
it future-proofs us against modifications that make things
like OBJ_NONE more likely (and gives future patches a
central point to handle them).

Previously, when --verify was specified, show-ref would use a separate
code path which did not handle HEAD and treated it as an invalid
ref. Thus, "git show-ref --verify HEAD" (where "--verify" is used
because the user is not interested in seeing refs/remotes/origin/HEAD)
did not work as expected.
Instead of insisting that the input begins with "refs/", allow "HEAD"
as well in the codepath that handles "--verify", so that all valid
full refnames including HEAD are passed to the same output machinery.

One of the really nice features of the ~/.gitconfig file is that users
can override defaults by their own preferred settings for all of their
repositories.
One such default that some users like to override is whether the
"origin" remote gets auto-pruned or not. The user would simply call
git config --global remote.origin.prune true
and from now on all "origin" remotes would be pruned automatically when
fetching into the local repository.
There is just one catch: now Git thinks that the "origin" remote is
configured, even if the repository config has no [remote "origin"]
section at all, as it does not realize that the "prune" setting was
configured globally and that there really is no "origin" remote
configured in this repository.
That is a problem e.g. when renaming a remote to a new name, when Git
may be fooled into thinking that there is already a remote of that new
name.
Let's fix this by paying more attention to *where* the remote settings
came from: if they are configured in the local repository config, we
must not overwrite them. If they were configured elsewhere, we cannot
overwrite them to begin with, as we only write the repository config.
There is only one caller of remote_is_configured() (in `git fetch`) that
may want to take remotes into account even if they were configured
outside the repository config; all other callers essentially try to
prevent the Git command from overwriting settings in the repository
config.
To accommodate that fact, the remote_is_configured() function now
requires a parameter that states whether the caller is interested in all
remotes, or only in those that were configured in the repository config.
Many thanks to Jeff King whose tireless review helped with settling for
nothing less than the current strategy.

This patch gives life to the skeleton added in the previous patch.
The motivation for converting the difftool is that Perl scripts are not at
all native on Windows, and that `git difftool` therefore is pretty slow on
that platform, when there is no good reason for it to be slow.
In addition, Perl does not really have access to Git's internals. That
means that any script will always have to jump through unnecessary
hoops, and it will often need to perform unnecessary work (e.g. when
reading the entire config every time `git config` is called to query a
single config value).
The current version of the builtin difftool does not, however, make full
use of the internals but instead chooses to spawn a couple of Git
processes, still, to make for an easier conversion. There remains a lot
of room for improvement, left later.
Note: to play it safe, the original difftool is still called unless the
config setting difftool.useBuiltin is set to true.
The reason: this new, experimental, builtin difftool was shipped as part
of Git for Windows v2.11.0, to allow for easier large-scale testing, but
of course as an opt-in feature.
The speedup is actually more noticable on Linux than on Windows: a quick
test shows that t7800-difftool.sh runs in (2.183s/0.052s/0.108s)
(real/user/sys) in a Linux VM, down from (6.529s/3.112s/0.644s), while on
Windows, it is (36.064s/2.730s/7.194s), down from (47.637s/2.407s/6.863s).
The culprit is most likely the overhead incurred from *still* having to
shell out to mergetool-lib.sh and difftool--helper.sh.
Still, it is an improvement.
