047b7f42de t7527: test Unicode NFC/NFD handling on MacOS
Confirm that the daemon reports events using the on-disk
spelling for Unicode NFC/NFD characters.  On APFS we still
have Unicode aliasing, so we cannot create two files that
only differ by NFC/NFD, but the on-disk format preserves
the spelling used to create the file.  On HFS+ we also
have aliasing, but the path is always stored on disk in
NFD.

08b925fdf6 fsmonitor: on macOS also emit NFC spelling for NFD pathname
Emit NFC or NFC and NFD spellings of pathnames on macOS.

MacOS is Unicode composition insensitive, so NFC and NFD spellings are
treated as aliases and collide.  While the spelling of pathnames in
filesystem events depends upon the underlying filesystem, such as
APFS, HFS+ or FAT32, the OS enforces such collisions regardless of
filesystem.

Teach the daemon to always report the NFC spelling and to report
the NFD spelling when stored in that format on the disk.

This is slightly more general than "core.precomposeUnicode".

90f9857709 fsmonitor: never set CE_FSMONITOR_VALID on submodules
Never set CE_FSMONITOR_VALID on the cache-entry of submodule
directories.

During a client command like 'git status', we may need to recurse
into each submodule to compute a status summary for the submodule.
Since the purpose of the ce_flag is to let Git avoid scanning a
cache-entry, setting the flag causes the recursive call to be
avoided and we report incorrect (no status) for the submodule.

We created an OS watch on the root directory of our working
directory and we receive events for everything in the cone
under it.  When submodules are present inside our working
directory, we receive events for both our repo (the super) and
any subs within it.  Since our index doesn't have any information
for items within the submodules, we can't use those events.

We could try to truncate the paths of those events back to the
submodule boundary and mark the GITLINK as dirty, but that
feels expensive since we would have to prefix compare every FS
event that we receive against a list of submodule roots.  And
it still wouldn't be sufficient to correctly report status on
the submodule, since we don't have any space in the cache-entry
to cache the submodule's status (the 'SCMU' bits in porcelain
V2 speak).  That is, the CE_FSMONITOR_VALID bit just says that
we don't need to scan/inspect it because we already know the
answer -- it doesn't say that the item is clean -- and we
don't have space in the cache-entry to store those answers.
So we should always do the recursive scan.

Therefore, we should never set the flag on GITLINK cache-entries.

d612def36c fsmonitor: optimize processing of directory events
Teach Git to perform binary search over the cache-entries for a directory
notification and then linearly scan forward to find the immediate children.

Previously, when the FSMonitor reported a modified directory Git would
perform a linear search on the entire cache-entry array for all
entries matching that directory prefix and invalidate them.  Since the
cache-entry array is already sorted, we can use a binary search to
find the first matching entry and then only linearly walk forward and
invalidate entries until the prefix changes.

Also, the original code would invalidate anything having the same
directory prefix.  Since a directory event should only be received for
items that are immediately within the directory (and not within
sub-directories of it), only invalidate those entries and not the
whole subtree.

1ebe1cb298 fsm-health-win32: force shutdown daemon if worktree root moves
Force shutdown fsmonitor daemon if the worktree root directory
is moved, renamed, or deleted.

Use Windows low-level GetFileInformationByHandle() to get and
compare the Windows system unique ID for the directory with a
cached version when we started up.  This lets us detect the
case where someone renames the directory that we are watching
and then creates a new directory with the original pathname.

This is important because we are listening to a named pipe for
requests and they are stored in the Named Pipe File System (NPFS)
which a kernel-resident pseudo filesystem not associated with
the actual NTFS directory.

For example, if the daemon was watching "~/foo/", it would have
a directory-watch handle on that directory and a named-pipe
handle for "//./pipe/...foo".  Moving the directory to "~/bar/"
does not invalidate the directory handle.  (So the daemon would
actually be watching "~/bar" but listening on "//./pipe/...foo".
If the user then does "git init ~/foo" and causes another daemon
to start, the first daemon will still have ownership of the pipe
and the second daemon instance will fail to start.  "git status"
clients in "~/foo" will ask "//./pipe/...foo" about changes and
the first daemon instance will tell them about "~/bar".

This commit causes the first daemon to shutdown if the system unique
ID for "~/foo" changes (changes from what it was when the daemon
started).  Shutdown occurs after a periodic poll.  After the
first daemon exits and releases the lock on the named pipe,
subsequent Git commands may cause another daemon to be started
on "~/foo".  Similarly, a subsequent Git command may cause another
daemon to be started on "~/bar".

aea0188784 fsmonitor--daemon: stub in health thread
Create another thread to watch over the daemon process and
automatically shut it down if necessary.

This commit creates the basic framework for a "health" thread
to monitor the daemon and/or the file system.  Later commits
will add platform-specific code to do the actual work.

The "health" thread is intended to monitor conditions that
would be difficult to track inside the IPC thread pool and/or
the file system listener threads.  For example, when there are
file system events outside of the watched worktree root or if
we want to have an idle-timeout auto-shutdown feature.

This commit creates the health thread itself, defines the thread-proc
and sets up the thread's event loop.  It integrates this new thread
into the existing IPC and Listener thread models.

This commit defines the API to the platform-specific code where all of
the monitoring will actually happen.

The platform-specific code for MacOS is just stubs.  Meaning that the
health thread will immediately exit on MacOS, but that is OK and
expected.  Future work can define MacOS-specific monitoring.

The platform-specific code for Windows sets up enough of the
WaitForMultipleObjects() machinery to watch for system and/or custom
events.  Currently, the set of wait handles only includes our custom
shutdown event (sent from our other theads).  Later commits in this
series will extend the set of wait handles to monitor other
conditions.

2b8aceb8a0 fsmonitor--daemon: cd out of worktree root
Teach the fsmonitor--daemon to CD outside of the worktree
before starting up.

The common Git startup mechanism causes the CWD of the daemon process
to be in the root of the worktree.  On Windows, this causes the daemon
process to hold a locked handle on the CWD and prevents other
processes from moving or deleting the worktree while the daemon is
running.

de3ef9624c fsmonitor-settings: VFS for Git virtual repos are incompatible
VFS for Git virtual repositories are incompatible with FSMonitor.

VFS for Git is a downstream fork of Git.  It contains its own custom
file system watcher that is aware of the virtualization.  If a working
directory is being managed by VFS for Git, we should not try to watch
it because we may get incomplete results.

We do not know anything about how VFS for Git works, but we do
know that VFS for Git working directories contain a well-defined
config setting.  If it is set, mark the working directory as
incompatible.

2a696eb11a fsm-listen-win32: handle shortnames
Teach FSMonitor daemon on Windows to recognize shortname paths as
aliases of normal longname paths.  FSMonitor clients, such as `git
status`, should receive the longname spelling of changed files (when
possible).

Sometimes we receive FS events using the shortname, such as when a CMD
shell runs "RENAME GIT~1 FOO" or "RMDIR GIT~1".  The FS notification
arrives using whatever combination of long and shortnames were used by
the other process.  (Shortnames do seem to be case normalized,
however.)

Use Windows GetLongPathNameW() to try to map the pathname spelling in
the notification event into the normalized longname spelling.  (This
can fail if the file/directory is deleted, moved, or renamed, because
we are asking the FS for the mapping in response to the event and
after it has already happened, but we try.)

Special case the shortname spelling of ".git" to avoid under-reporting
these events.

3ff8cbfe8a Merge branch 'ab/reflog-parse-options'
"git reflog" command now uses parse-options API to parse its
command line options.

* ab/reflog-parse-options:
  reflog: fix 'show' subcommand's argv
  reflog [show]: display sensible -h output
  reflog: convert to parse_options() API
  reflog exists: use parse_options() API
  git reflog [expire|delete]: make -h output consistent with SYNOPSIS
  reflog: move "usage" variables and use macros
  reflog tests: add missing "git reflog exists" tests
  reflog: refactor cmd_reflog() to "if" branches
  reflog.c: indent argument lists

e4921d877a tracking branches: add advice to ambiguous refspec error
The error "not tracking: ambiguous information for ref" is raised
when we are evaluating what tracking information to set on a branch,
and find that the ref to be added as tracking branch is mapped
under multiple remotes' fetch refspecs.

This can easily happen when a user copy-pastes a remote definition
in their git config, and forgets to change the tracking path.

Add advice in this situation, explicitly highlighting which remotes
are involved and suggesting how to correct the situation. Also
update a test to explicitly expect that advice.

6696601241 branch.c: simplify advice-and-die sequence
In the dwim_branch_start(), when we cannot find an appropriate
upstream, we will die with the same message anyway, whether we
issue an advice message.

Flip the code around a bit and simplify the flow using
advise_if_enabled() function.

1f888282e2 branch: rework comments for future developers
For two cases in which we do not explicitly pass --track=<choice>
option down to the submodule--helper subprocess, we have comments
that say "we do not have to pass --track", but in fact we not just
do not have to, but it would be incorrect to pass any --track option
to the subprocess (instead, the correct behaviour is to let the
subprocess figure out what is the appropriate tracking mode to use).
