'--filter=blob:limit=<n>' was introduced in 25ec7bcac0 (list-objects:
filter objects in traverse_commit_list, 2017-11-21) and later expanded
to bitmaps in 84243da129 (pack-bitmap: implement BLOB_LIMIT filtering,
2020-02-14)
The logic that was introduced in these commits (and that still persists
to this day) omits blobs larger than _or equal_ to n bytes or units.
However, the documentation (Documentation/rev-list-options.txt) states:
>The form '--filter=blob:limit=<n>[kmg]' omits blobs larger than n
bytes or units. n may be zero.
Moreover, the t6113-rev-list-bitmap-filters.sh tests for exactly this
logic, so it seems it is the documentation that needs fixing, not the
code.
This changes the explanation to be similar to
Documentation/git-clone.txt, which is correct.

In the recent codebase update (8bf6fbd00d (Merge branch
'js/doc-unit-tests', 2023-12-09)), a new unit testing framework was
merged, providing a standardized approach for testing C code. Prior to
this update, some unit tests relied on the test helper mechanism,
lacking a dedicated unit testing framework. It's more natural to perform
these unit tests using the new unit test framework.
This commit migrates the unit tests for C character classification
functions (isdigit(), isspace(), etc) from the legacy approach
using the test-tool command `test-tool ctype` in t/helper/test-ctype.c
to the new unit testing framework (t/unit-tests/test-lib.h).
The migration involves refactoring the tests to utilize the testing
macros provided by the framework (TEST() and check_*()).

When `write_commit_graph()` bails out writing a split commit-graph early
then it may happen that we have already gathered the set of existing
commit-graph file names without yet determining the new merged set of
files. This can result in a memory leak though because we only clear the
preimage of files when we have collected the postimage.
Fix this issue by dropping the condition altogether so that we always
try to free both preimage and postimage filenames. As the context
structure is zero-initialized this simplification is safe to do.

The git-p4 tool creates a bunch of temporary branches that share a
common prefix "refs/git-p4-tmp/". These branches get cleaned up via
git-update-ref(1) after the import has finished. Once done, we try to
manually remove the now supposedly-empty ".git/refs/git-p4-tmp/"
directory.
This last step can fail in case there still are any temporary branches
around that we failed to delete because `os.rmdir()` refuses to delete a
non-empty directory. It can thus be seen as kind of a sanity check to
verify that we really did delete all temporary branches. Another failure
mode though is when the directory didn't exist in the first place, which
can be the case when using an alternate ref backend like the upcoming
"reftable" backend.
Convert the code to instead use git-for-each-ref(1) to verify that there
are no more temporary branches around. This works alright with alternate
ref backends while retaining the sanity check that we really did prune
all temporary branches.
This is a modification in behaviour for the "files" backend because the
empty directory does not get deleted anymore. But arguably we should not
care about such implementation details of the ref backend anyway, and
this should not cause any user-visible change in behaviour.

The blocksource interface provides an interface to read blocks from a
reftable table. This interface is implemented using read(3P) calls on
the underlying file descriptor. While this works alright, this pattern
is very inefficient when repeatedly querying the reftable stack for one
or more refs. This inefficiency can mostly be attributed to the fact
that we often need to re-read the same blocks over and over again, and
every single time we need to call read(3P) again.
A natural fit in this context is to use mmap(3P) instead of read(3P),
which has a bunch of benefits:
- We do not need to come up with a caching strategy for some of the
blocks as this will be handled by the kernel already.
- We can avoid the overhead of having to call into the read(3P)
syscall repeatedly.
- We do not need to allocate returned blocks repeatedly, but can
instead hand out pointers into the mmapped region directly.
Using mmap comes with a significant drawback on Windows though, because
mmapped files cannot be deleted and neither is it possible to rename
files onto an mmapped file. But for one, the reftable library gracefully
handles the case where auto-compaction cannot delete a still-open stack
already and ignores any such errors. Also, `reftable_stack_clean()` will
prune stale tables which are not referenced by "tables.list" anymore so
that those files can eventually be pruned. And second, we never rewrite
already-written stacks, so it does not matter that we cannot rename a
file over an mmaped file, either.
Another unfortunate property of mmap is that it is not supported by all
systems. But given that the size of reftables should typically be rather
limited (megabytes at most in the vast majority of repositories), we can
use the fallback implementation provided by `git_mmap()` which reads the
whole file into memory instead. This is the same strategy that the
"packed" backend uses.
While this change doesn't significantly improve performance in the case
where we're seeking through stacks once (like e.g. git-for-each-ref(1)
would). But it does speed up usecases where there is lots of random
access to refs, e.g. when writing. The following benchmark demonstrates
these savings with git-update-ref(1) creating N refs in an otherwise
empty repository:
Benchmark 1: update-ref: create many refs (refcount = 1, revision = HEAD~)

Whenever we call into the refs interfaces we potentially have to reload
refs in case they have been concurrently modified, either in-process or
externally. While this happens somewhat automatically for loose refs
because we simply try to re-read the files, the "packed" backend will
reload its snapshot of the packed-refs file in case its stat info has
changed since last reading it.
In the reftable backend we have a similar mechanism that is provided by
`reftable_stack_reload()`. This function will read the list of stacks
from "tables.list" and, if they have changed from the currently stored
list, reload the stacks. This is heavily inefficient though, as we have
to check whether the stack is up-to-date on basically every read and
thus keep on re-reading the file all the time even if it didn't change
at all.
We can do better and use the same stat(3P)-based mechanism that the
"packed" backend uses. Instead of reading the file, we will only open
the file descriptor, fstat(3P) it, and then compare the info against the
cached value from the last time we have updated the stack. This should
always work alright because "tables.list" is updated atomically via a
rename, so even if the ctime or mtime wasn't granular enough to identify
a change, at least the inode number or file size should have changed.
This change significantly speeds up operations where many refs are read,
like when using git-update-ref(1). The following benchmark creates N
refs in an otherwise-empty repository via `git update-ref --stdin`:
Benchmark 1: update-ref: create many refs (refcount = 1, revision = HEAD~)

When creating a worktree we create the worktree's ref database manually
by first writing a "HEAD" file so that the directory is recognized as a
Git repository by other commands, and then running git-update-ref(1) or
git-symbolic-ref(1) to write the actual value. But while this is fine
for the files backend, this logic simply assumes too much about how the
ref backend works and will leave behind an invalid ref database once any
other ref backend lands.
Refactor the code to instead use `refs_init_db()` to initialize the ref
database so that git-worktree(1) itself does not need to know about how
to initialize it. This will allow future ref backends to customize how
the per-worktree ref database is set up. Furthermore, as we now already
have a worktree ref store around, we can also avoid spawning external
commands to write the HEAD reference and instead use the refs API to do
so.
Note that we do not have an equivalent to passing the `--quiet` flag to
git-symbolic-ref(1) as we did before. This flag does not have an effect
anyway though, as git-symbolic-ref(1) only honors it when reading a
symref, but never when writing one.

ensure that the worktree has all link files ("gitdir", "commondir")
before we try to initialize the ref database by writing "HEAD". This
will be required by a subsequent commit where we start to initialize the
ref database via `refs_init_db()`, which will require an initialized
`struct worktree *`.

The files ref backend will create both "refs/heads" and "refs/tags" in
the Git directory. While this logic makes sense for normal repositories,
it does not for worktrees because those refs are "common" refs that
would always be contained in the main repository's ref database.
Introduce a new flag telling the backend that it is expected to create a
per-worktree ref database and skip creation of these dirs in the files
backend when the flag is set. No other backends (currently) need
worktree-specific logic, so this is the only required change to start
creating per-worktree ref databases via `refs_init_db()`.

When creating the ref database we unconditionally create the "refs/"
directory in "setup.c". This is a mandatory prerequisite for all Git
repositories regardless of the ref backend in use, because Git will be
unable to detect the directory as a repository if "refs/" doesn't exist.
We are about to add another new caller that will want to create a ref
database when creating worktrees. We would require the same logic to
create the "refs/" directory even though the caller really should not
care about such low-level details. Ideally, the ref database should be
fully initialized after calling `refs_init_db()`.
Move the code to create the directory into the files backend itself to
make it so. This means that future ref backends will also need to have
equivalent logic around to ensure that the directory exists, but it
seems a lot more sensible to have it this way round than to require
callers to create the directory themselves.
An alternative to this would be to create "refs/" in `refs_init_db()`
directly. This feels conceptually unclean though as the creation of the
refdb is now cluttered across different callsites. Furthermore, both the
"files" and the upcoming "reftable" backend write backend-specific data
into the "refs/" directory anyway, so splitting up this logic would only
make it harder to reason about.

The purpose of `refs_init_db()` is to initialize the on-disk files of a
new ref database. The function is quite inflexible right now though, as
callers can neither specify the `struct ref_store` nor can they pass any
flags.
Refactor the interface to accept both of these. This will be required so
that we can start initializing per-worktree ref databases via the ref
backend instead of open-coding the initialization in "worktree.c".

Our GitHub Workflows definitions have a static analysis job that
runs the following tasks:
- Coccinelle to check for suggested refactorings.
- `make hdr-check` to check for missing includes or forward
declarations in our header files.
- `make check-pot` to check our translations for issues.
- `./ci/check-directional-formatting.bash` to check whether our
sources contain any Unicode directional formatting code points.
Add an equivalent job to our GitLab CI definitions.

We're manually parsing the HEAD reference in git-prompt to figure out
whether it is a symbolic or direct reference. This makes it intimately
tied to the on-disk format we use to store references and will stop
working once we gain additional reference backends in the Git project.
Ideally, we would refactor the code to exclusively use plumbing tools to
read refs such that we do not have to care about the on-disk format at
all. Unfortunately though, spawning processes can be quite expensive on
some systems like Windows. As the Git prompt logic may be executed quite
frequently we try very hard to spawn as few processes as possible. This
refactoring is thus out of question for now.
Instead, condition the logic on the repository's ref format: if the repo
uses the the "files" backend we can continue to use the old logic and
read the respective files from disk directly. If it's anything else,
then we use git-symbolic-ref(1) to read the value of HEAD.
This change makes the Git prompt compatible with the upcoming "reftable"
format.
