Introduce and use the new "best effort" strategy for Secure Channel revoke checking

de9f788b2a http: use new "best effort" strategy for Secure Channel revoke checking
The native Windows HTTPS backend is based on Secure Channel which lets
the caller decide how to handle revocation checking problems caused by
missing information in the certificate or offline CRL distribution
points.

Unfortunately, cURL chose to handle these problems differently than
OpenSSL by default: while OpenSSL happily ignores those problems
(essentially saying "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"), the Secure Channel backend will error
out instead.

As a remedy, the "no revoke" mode was introduced, which turns off
revocation checking altogether. This is a bit heavy-handed. We support
this via the `http.schannelCheckRevoke` setting.

In https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4981, we contributed an opt-in
"best effort" strategy that emulates what OpenSSL seems to do.

In Git for Windows, we actually want this to be the default. This patch
makes it so, introducing it as a new value for the
`http.schannelCheckRevoke" setting, which now becmes a tristate: it
accepts the values "false", "true" or "best-effort" (defaulting to the
last one).

c58b18174a transport: optionally disable side-band-64k
Since commit 0c499ea60f (send-pack: demultiplex a sideband stream with
status data, 2010-02-05) the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k
capability if advertised by the server.

Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used
over a network connection.

The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing,
quoted from https://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ):

	MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to
	mimic the functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll
	to treat sockets as Installable File System (IFS) handles,
	calling ReadFile, WriteFile, DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on
	them. This approach works well in simple cases on recent
	versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns. In
	particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write
	concurrently on the same socket (from one or more processes)
	will deadlock in a scenario where the read waits for a response
	from the server which is only invoked after the write. This is
	what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband
	codepath.

The new config option `sendpack.sideband` allows to override the
side-band-64k capability of the server, and thus makes the dumb git
protocol work.

Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from
the sideband channel, therefore the default value of `sendpack.sideband`
is still true.

3eb61fda62 doc: config: terminate runaway lists
There are many places in git-config(1) where paragraphs that should
logically come after a list are instead appended to the last item of

	--

	* last item

	New paragraph after the list.

a6d92c48e4 send-pack: pass negotiation config in push
When push.negotiate is enabled, 'git push' spawns a child 'git fetch
--negotiate-only' process to find common commits.  Pass
--negotiation-include and --negotiation-restrict options from the
'remote.<name>.negotiationInclude' and
'remote.<name>.negotiationRestrict' config keys to this child process.

When negotiationRestrict is configured, it replaces the default
behavior of using all remote refs as negotiation tips. This allows
the user to control which local refs are used for push negotiation.

When negotiationInclude is configured, the specified ref patterns
are passed as --negotiation-include to ensure their tips are always
sent as 'have' lines during push negotiation.

6f37fecfed remote: add remote.*.negotiationInclude config
Add a new 'remote.<name>.negotiationInclude' multi-valued config option that
provides default values for --negotiation-include when no
--negotiation-include arguments are specified over the command line.  This
is a mirror of how 'remote.<name>.negotiationRestrict' specifies defaults
for the --negotiation-restrict arguments.

Each value is either an exact ref name or a glob pattern whose tips should
always be sent as 'have' lines during negotiation. The config values are
resolved through the same resolve_negotiation_include() codepath as the CLI
options.

This option is additive with the normal negotiation process: the negotiation
algorithm still runs and advertises its own selected commits, but the refs
matching the config are sent unconditionally on top of those heuristically
selected commits.

Similar to the negotiationRestrict config, an empty value resets the value
list to allow ignoring earlier config values, such as those that might be
set in system or global config.

8bb252f86c remote: add remote.*.negotiationRestrict config
In a previous change, the --negotiation-restrict command-line option of 'git
fetch' was added as a synonym of --negotiation-tip. Both of these options
restrict the set of 'haves' the client can send as part of negotiation.

This was previously not available via a configuration option. Add a new
'remote.<name>.negotiationRestrict' multi-valued config option that updates
'git fetch <name>' to use these restrictions by default.

If the user provides even one --negotiation-restrict argument, then the
config is ignored.

An empty value resets the value list to allow ignoring earlier config
values, such as those that might be set in system or global config.

1a445fc60b fetch: add --negotiation-restrict option
The --negotiation-tip option to 'git fetch' and 'git pull' allows users
to specify that they want to focus negotiation on a small set of
references. This is a _restriction_ on the negotiation set, helping to
focus the negotiation when the ref count is high. However, it doesn't
allow for the ability to opportunistically select references beyond that
list.

This subtle detail that this is a 'maximum set' and not a 'minimum set'
is not immediately clear from the option name. This makes it more
complicated to add a new option that provides the complementary behavior
of a minimum set.

For now, create a new synonym option, --negotiation-restrict, that
behaves identically to --negotiation-tip. Update the documentation to
make it clear that this new name is the preferred option, but we keep
the old name for compatibility. Mark --negotiation-tip as an alias of the
new, preferred option.

Update a few warning messages with the new option, but also make them
translatable with the option name inserted by formatting. At least one
of these messages will be reused later for a new option.

938af89260 repack: introduce --write-midx=incremental
Expose the incremental MIDX repacking mode (implemented in an earlier
commit) via a new --write-midx=incremental option for `git repack`.

Add "incremental" as a recognized argument to the --write-midx
OPT_CALLBACK, mapping it to REPACK_WRITE_MIDX_INCREMENTAL. When this
mode is active and --geometric is in use, set the midx_layer_threshold
on the pack geometry so that only packs in sufficiently large tip layers
are considered for repacking.

Two new configuration options control the compaction behavior:

 - repack.midxSplitFactor (default: 2): the factor used in the
   geometric merging condition for MIDX layers.

 - repack.midxNewLayerThreshold (default: 8): the minimum number of
   packs in the tip MIDX layer before its packs are considered as
   candidates for geometric repacking.

Add tests exercising the new mode across a variety of scenarios
including basic geometric violations, multi-round chain integrity,
branching and merging histories, cross-layer object uniqueness, and
threshold-based compaction.

03c7a30cee pack-bitmap: reject pseudo-merge "sampleRate" of 0
The "bitmapPseudoMerge.*.sampleRate" configuration controls what
fraction of unstable commits are included in each pseudo-merge group.
The config validation accepts values in the range `[0, 1]`, but a value
of exactly 0 causes a division by zero in `select_pseudo_merges_1()`:

    if (j % (uint32_t)(1.0 / group->sample_rate))

When `sample_rate` is 0, `1.0 / 0.0` produces `+inf`, and casting
infinity to `uint32_t` is undefined behavior in C. On most platforms
this yields 0, making the subsequent modulo operation (`j % 0`) a
fatal arithmetic trap.

This path was not previously reachable because an earlier bug caused
all pseudo-merge candidates to be classified as "stable" (where the
sampling rate is not used), regardless of their actual commit date. Now
that the date classification is fixed, the unstable path is exercised
and the division by zero can fire.

Fix this by changing the validation to require a strict lower bound and
thus reject 0.

4919938d28 doc: clarify http.emptyAuth values
The existing description of http.emptyAuth explains the purpose of the
setting but never says what values it accepts. Readers have to infer
from context (or read the source) that it takes 'true', 'false', or
'auto', and what each one means.

Document the three accepted values explicitly:

* 'auto' (the default) only sends empty credentials when the server's
  401 response advertises a mechanism that requires them, such as
  GSS-Negotiate. This matches the long-standing auto-detection
  behaviour added in 40a18fc77c (http: add an "auto" mode for
  http.emptyauth, 2017-02-25).

* 'true' unconditionally sends empty credentials on the very first
  request, before any 401 response, for callers that know they want
  this behaviour up front.

* 'false' disables the feature entirely; mechanisms that depend on
  empty credentials, such as GSS-Negotiate, will not work in this
  mode.

985b38ca6c safe.bareRepository: default to "explicit" with WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES
When an attacker can convince a user to clone a crafted repository
that contains an embedded bare repository with malicious hooks, any Git
command the user runs after entering that subdirectory will discover
the bare repository and execute the hooks. The user does not even need
to run a Git command explicitly: many shell prompts run `git status`
in the background to display branch and dirty state information, and
`git status` in turn may invoke the fsmonitor hook if so configured,
making the user vulnerable the moment they `cd` into the directory. The
`safe.bareRepository` configuration variable (introduced in 8959555cee
(setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level directory,
2022-03-02)) already provides protection against this attack vector by
allowing users to set it to "explicit", but the default remained "all"
for backwards compatibility.

Since Git 3.0 is the natural point to change defaults to safer
values, flip the default from "all" to "explicit" when built with
`WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES`. This means Git will refuse to work with bare
repositories that are discovered implicitly by walking up the directory
tree. Bare repositories specified via `--git-dir` or `GIT_DIR` continue
to work, and directories that look like `.git`, worktrees, or submodule
directories are unaffected (the existing `is_implicit_bare_repo()`
whitelist handles those cases).

Users who rely on implicit bare repository discovery can restore the
previous behavior by setting `safe.bareRepository=all` in their global
or system configuration.

The test for the "safe.bareRepository in the repository" scenario
needed a more involved fix: it writes a `safe.bareRepository=all`
entry into the bare repository's own config to verify that repo-local
config does not override the protected (global) setting. Previously,
`test_config -C` was used to write that entry, but its cleanup runs `git
-C <bare-repo> config --unset`, which itself fails when the default is
"explicit" and the global config has already been cleaned up. Switching
to direct git config --file access avoids going through repository
discovery entirely.

ce48de8b2c fsmonitor: implement filesystem change listener for Linux
Implement the built-in fsmonitor daemon for Linux using the inotify
API, bringing it to feature parity with the existing Windows and macOS
implementations.

The implementation uses inotify rather than fanotify because fanotify
requires either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_PERFMON capabilities, making it
unsuitable for an unprivileged user-space daemon.  While inotify has
the limitation of requiring a separate watch on every directory (unlike
macOS's FSEvents, which can monitor an entire directory tree with a
single watch), it operates without elevated privileges and provides
the per-file event granularity needed for fsmonitor.

The listener uses inotify_init1(O_NONBLOCK) with a poll loop that
checks for events with a 50-millisecond timeout, keeping the inotify
queue well-drained to minimize the risk of overflows.  Bidirectional
hashmaps map between watch descriptors and directory paths for efficient
event resolution.  Directory renames are tracked using inotify's cookie
mechanism to correlate IN_MOVED_FROM and IN_MOVED_TO event pairs; a
periodic check detects stale renames where the matching IN_MOVED_TO
never arrived, forcing a resync.

New directory creation triggers recursive watch registration to ensure
all subdirectories are monitored.  The IN_MASK_CREATE flag is used
where available to prevent modifying existing watches, with a fallback
for older kernels.  When IN_MASK_CREATE is available and
inotify_add_watch returns EEXIST, it means another thread or recursive
scan has already registered the watch, so it is safe to ignore.

Remote filesystem detection uses statfs() to identify network-mounted
filesystems (NFS, CIFS, SMB, FUSE, etc.) via their magic numbers.
Mount point information is read from /proc/mounts and matched against
the statfs f_fsid to get accurate, human-readable filesystem type names
for logging.  When the .git directory is on a remote filesystem, the
IPC socket falls back to $HOME or a user-configured directory via the
fsmonitor.socketDir setting.

495b7d54dc hook: allow hook.jobs=-1 to use all available CPU cores
Allow -1 as a value for hook.jobs, hook.<event>.jobs, and the -j
CLI flag to mean "use as many jobs as there are CPU cores", matching
the convention used by fetch.parallel and other Git subsystems.

The value is resolved to online_cpus() at parse time so the rest
of the code always works with a positive resolved count.

Other non-positive values (0, -2, etc) are rejected with a warning
(config) or die (CLI).

dcfb5af67e hook: add hook.<event>.enabled switch
Add a hook.<event>.enabled config key that disables all hooks for
a given event, when set to false, acting as a high-level switch
above the existing per-hook hook.<friendly-name>.enabled.

Event-disabled hooks are shown in "git hook list" with an
"event-disabled" tab-separated prefix before the name:

$ git hook list test-hook
event-disabled  hook-1
event-disabled  hook-2

With --show-scope:

$ git hook list --show-scope test-hook
local   event-disabled  hook-1

When a hook is both per-hook disabled and event-disabled, only
"event-disabled" is shown: the event-level switch is the more
relevant piece of information, and the per-hook "disabled" status
will surface once the event is re-enabled.

Using an event name as a friendly-name (e.g. hook.<event>.enabled)
can cause ambiguity, so a fatal error is issued when using a known
event name and a warning is issued for unknown event name, since
a collision cannot be detected with certainty for unknown events.

Add a hook.<event>.jobs count config that allows users to override the
global hook.jobs setting for specific hook events.

This allows finer-grained control over parallelism on a per-event basis.

For example, to run `post-receive` hooks with up to 4 parallel jobs
while keeping other events at their global default:

[hook]
    post-receive.jobs = 4

Several hooks are known to be inherently non-parallelizable, so initialize
them with RUN_HOOKS_OPT_INIT_FORCE_SERIAL. This pins jobs=1 and overrides
any hook.jobs or runtime -j flags.

These hooks are:
applypatch-msg, pre-commit, prepare-commit-msg, commit-msg, post-commit,
post-checkout, and push-to-checkout.

f776b77f00 hook: allow pre-push parallel execution
pre-push is the only hook that keeps stdout and stderr separate (for
backwards compatibility with git-lfs and potentially other users). This
prevents parallelizing it because run-command needs stdout_to_stderr=1
to buffer and de-interleave parallel outputs.

Since we now default to jobs=1, backwards compatibility is maintained
without needing any extension or extra config: when no parallelism is
requested, pre-push behaves exactly as before.

When the user explicitly opts into parallelism via hook.jobs > 1,
hook.<event>.jobs > 1, or -jN, they accept the changed output behavior.

Document this and let get_hook_jobs() set stdout_to_stderr=1 automatically
when jobs > 1, removing the need for any extension infrastructure.

680e69f60d hook: allow parallel hook execution
Hooks always run in sequential order due to the hardcoded jobs == 1
passed to run_process_parallel(). Remove that hardcoding to allow
users to run hooks in parallel (opt-in).

Users need to decide which hooks to run in parallel, by specifying
"parallel = true" in the config, because Git cannot know if their
specific hooks are safe to run or not in parallel (for e.g. two hooks
might write to the same file or call the same program).

Some hooks are unsafe to run in parallel by design: these will marked
in the next commit using RUN_HOOKS_OPT_INIT_FORCE_SERIAL.

The hook.jobs config specifies the default number of jobs applied to all
hooks which have parallelism enabled.

b9a4c9ad24 hook: parse the hook.jobs config
The hook.jobs config is a global way to set hook parallelization for
all hooks, in the sense that it is not per-event nor per-hook.

Finer-grained configs will be added in later commits which can override
it, for e.g. via a per-event type job options. Next commits will also
add to this item's documentation.

Parse hook.jobs config key in hook_config_lookup_all() and store its
value in hook_all_config_cb.jobs, then transfer it into r->jobs after
the config pass completes.

This is mostly plumbing and the cached value is not yet used.
