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.

Thorough benchmarking with repacking a subset of linux.git (the commit
history reachable from 93a6fefe2f ([PATCH] fix the SYSCTL=n compilation,
2007-02-28), to be precise) suggest that this allocator is on par, in
multi-threaded situations maybe even better than nedmalloc:
`git repack -adfq` with mimalloc, 8 threads:
31.166991900 27.576763800 28.712311000 27.373859000 27.163141900
`git repack -adfq` with nedmalloc, 8 threads:

In a different test using GitHub Actions build agents (probably
single-threaded, a core-strength of nedmalloc)):
`git repack -q -d -l -A --unpack-unreachable=2.weeks.ago` with mimalloc:
943.426 978.500 939.709 959.811 954.605
`git repack -q -d -l -A --unpack-unreachable=2.weeks.ago` with nedmalloc:
995.383 952.179 943.253 963.043 980.468
While these measurements were not executed with complete scientific
rigor, as no hardware was set aside specifically for these benchmarks,
it shows that mimalloc and nedmalloc perform almost the same, nedmalloc
with a bit higher variance and also slightly higher average (further
testing suggests that nedmalloc performs worse in multi-threaded
situations than in single-threaded ones).
In short: mimalloc seems to be slightly better suited for our purposes
than nedmalloc.

Always use the internal "use_weak" random seed when initializing
the "mimalloc" heap when statically linked on Windows.
The imported "mimalloc" routines support several random sources
to seed the heap data structures, including BCrypt.dll and
RtlGenRandom. Crashes have been reported when using BCrypt.dll
if it initialized during an `atexit()` handler function. Granted,
such DLL initialization should not happen in an atexit handler,
but yet the crashes remain.
It should be noted that on Windows when statically linked, the
mimalloc startup code (called by the GCC CRT to initialize static
data prior to calling `main()`) always uses the internal "weak"
random seed. "mimalloc" does not try to load an alternate
random source until after the OS initialization has completed.
Heap data is stored in `__declspec(thread)` TLS data and in theory
each Git thread will have its own heap data. However, testing
shows that the "mimalloc" library doesn't actually call
`os_random_buf()` (to load a new random source) when creating these
new per-thread heap structures.
However, if an atexit handler is forced to run on a non-main
thread, the "mimalloc" library *WILL* try to create a new heap
and seed it with `os_random_buf()`. (The reason for this is still
a mystery to this author.) The `os_random_buf()` call can cause
the (previously uninitialized BCrypt.dll library) to be dynamically
loaded and a call made into it. Crashes have been reported in
v2.40.1.vfs.0.0 while in this call.
As a workaround, the fix here forces the use of the internal
"use_weak" random code for the subsequent `os_random_buf()` calls.
Since we have been using that random generator for the majority
of the program, it seems safe to use it for the final few mallocs
in the atexit handler (of which there really shouldn't be that many.

By defining `USE_MIMALLOC`, Git can now be compiled with that
nicely-fast and small allocator.
Note that we have to disable a couple `DEVELOPER` options to build
mimalloc's source code, as it makes heavy use of declarations after
statements, among other things that disagree with Git's conventions.
We even have to silence some GCC warnings in non-DEVELOPER mode. For
example, the `-Wno-array-bounds` flag is needed because in `-O2` builds,
trying to call `NtCurrentTeb()` (which `_mi_thread_id()` does on
Windows) causes the bogus warning about a system header, likely related
to https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/mailman/message/37674519/ and to

git clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git \G4W

There is currently a problem with that, in that mingw_mktemp() does not
expect the _wmktemp() function to prefix the absolute path with the

the originally-passed string buffer. The symptom is a "Result too large"

Just like CVE-2022-41953 for Git GUI, there exists a vulnerability of
`gitk` where it looks for `taskkill.exe` in the current directory before
searching `PATH`.
Note that the many `exec git` calls are unaffected, due to an obscure
quirk in Tcl's `exec` function. Typically, `git.exe` lives next to
`wish.exe` (i.e. the program that is run to execute `gitk` or Git GUI)
in Git for Windows, and that is the saving grace for `git.exe because
`exec` searches the directory where `wish.exe` lives even before the
current directory, according to
https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl/TclCmd/exec.htm#M24:
If a directory name was not specified as part of the application
name, the following directories are automatically searched in
order when attempting to locate the application:
The directory from which the Tcl executable was loaded.
The current directory.
The Windows 32-bit system directory.
The Windows home directory.
The directories listed in the path.
The same is not true, however, for `taskkill.exe`: it lives in the
Windows system directory (never mind the 32-bit, Tcl's documentation is
outdated on that point, it really means `C:\Windows\system32`).

to the loose ref cache in the files backend, allowing us to build
tooling to print these refs.
The `is_pseudoref()` function internally calls `is_pseudoref_syntax()`
but adds onto it by also checking to ensure that the pseudoref either
ends with a "_HEAD" suffix or matches a list of exceptions. After which
we also parse the contents of the pseudoref to ensure that it conforms
to the ref format.
We cannot directly add the new syntax checks to `is_pseudoref_syntax()`
because the function is also used by `is_current_worktree_ref()` and
making it stricter to match only known pseudorefs might have unintended
consequences due to files like 'BISECT_START' which isn't a pseudoref
but sometimes contains object ID.
Keeping this in mind, we leave `is_pseudoref_syntax()` as is and create
`is_pseudoref()` which is stricter. Ideally we'd want to move the new
syntax checks to `is_pseudoref_syntax()` but a prerequisite for this
would be to actually remove the exception list by converting those
pseudorefs to also contain a '_HEAD' suffix and perhaps move bisect
related files like 'BISECT_START' to a new directory similar to the
'rebase-merge' directory.

While the git-reflog(1) command has subcommands to show reflog entries

quite hard to discover which reflogs a repository has. While this can
be worked around with the "files" backend by enumerating files in the
".git/logs" directory, users of the "reftable" backend don't enjoy such
a luxury.

The reflog iterator tries to resolve the corresponding ref for every
reflog that it is about to yield. Historically, this was done due to
multiple reasons:
- It ensures that the refname is safe because we end up calling
`check_refname_format()`. Also, non-conformant refnames are skipped
altogether.
- The iterator used to yield the resolved object ID as well as its
flags to the callback. This info was never used though, and the
corresponding parameters were dropped in the preceding commit.
- When a ref is corrupt then the reflog is not emitted at all.
We're about to introduce a new `git reflog list` subcommand that will
print all reflogs that the refdb knows about. Skipping over reflogs
whose refs are corrupted would be quite counterproductive in this case
as the user would have no way to learn about reflogs which may still
exist in their repository to help and rescue such a corrupted ref. Thus,
the only remaining reason for why we'd want to resolve the ref is to
verify its refname.
Refactor the code to call `check_refname_format()` directly instead of
trying to resolve the ref. This is significantly more efficient given
that we don't have to hit the object database anymore to list reflogs.
And second, it ensures that we end up showing reflogs of broken refs,
which will help to make the reflog more useful.
Note that this really only impacts the case where the corresponding ref
is corrupt. Reflogs for nonexistent refs would have been returned to the
caller beforehand already as we did not pass `RESOLVE_REF_READING` to
the function, and thus `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()` would have returned
successfully in that case.

The ref and reflog iterators share much of the same underlying code to
iterate over the corresponding entries. This results in some weird code
because the reflog iterator also exposes an object ID as well as a flag
to the callback function. Neither of these fields do refer to the reflog
though -- they refer to the corresponding ref with the same name. This
is quite misleading. In practice at least the object ID cannot really be
implemented in any other way as a reflog does not have a specific object
ID in the first place. This is further stressed by the fact that none of
the callbacks except for our test helper make use of these fields.
Split up the infrastucture so that ref and reflog iterators use separate
callback signatures. This allows us to drop the nonsensical fields from
the reflog iterator.
Note that internally, the backends still use the same shared infra to
iterate over both types. As the backends should never end up being
called directly anyway, this is not much of a problem and thus kept
as-is for simplicity's sake.

When iterating through reflogs in a worktree we create a merged iterator
that merges reflogs from both refdbs. The resulting refs are ordered so
that instead we first return all worktree reflogs before we return all
common refs.
This is the only remaining case where a ref iterator returns entries in
a non-lexicographic order. The result would look something like the
following (listed with a command we introduce in a subsequent commit):
```
$ git reflog list
HEAD
refs/worktree/per-worktree
refs/heads/main
refs/heads/wt
```
So we first print the per-worktree reflogs in lexicographic order, then
the common reflogs in lexicographic order. This is confusing and not
consistent with how we print per-worktree refs, which are exclusively
sorted lexicographically.
Sort reflogs lexicographically in the same way as we sort normal refs.
As this is already implemented properly by the "reftable" backend via a
separate selection function, we simply pull out that logic and reuse it
for the "files" backend. As logs are properly sorted now, mark the
merged reflog iterator as sorted.
Tests will be added in a subsequent commit.

The `struct dir_iterator` is a helper that allows us to iterate through
directory entries. This iterator returns entries in the exact same order
as readdir(3P) does -- or in other words, it guarantees no specific
order at all.
This is about to become problematic as we are introducing a new reflog
subcommand to list reflogs. As the "files" backend uses the directory
iterator to enumerate reflogs, returning reflog names and exposing them
to the user would inherit the indeterministic ordering. Naturally, it
would make for a terrible user interface to show a list with no
discernible order.
While this could be handled at a higher level by the new subcommand
itself by collecting and ordering the reflogs, this would be inefficient
because we would first have to collect all reflogs before we can sort
them, which would introduce additional latency when there are many
reflogs.
Instead, introduce a new option into the directory iterator that asks
for its entries to be yielded in lexicographical order. If set, the
iterator will read all directory entries greedily and sort them before
we start to iterate over them.
While this will of course also incur overhead as we cannot yield the
directory entries immediately, it should at least be more efficient than
having to sort the complete list of reflogs as we only need to sort one
directory at a time.
This functionality will be used in a follow-up commit.

to denote boundaries of the individual words that, stringed together, make
up configuration parameter names. A couple of abbreviations found in some
of the corrected configuration parameter names present some exceptions,
which are described in detail below.
First, there's "SSL" as the abbreviation for "Secure Sockets Layer". [1]
As such, it's written using all uppercase letters, which is pretty much the
general rule for making abbreviations, although with certain exceptions.
Second, there's "Cc" as the abbreviation for "carbon copy", which is another
exception. As the acronym for "carbon copy", "cc" (mind the all lowercase
letters) stems from the rather old times when, literally, carbon copies were
made. [2] Therefore, using "CC" (mind the all uppercase letters) or "cc"
(mind the all lowercase letters) would be technically correct in the email
domain, as the abbreviation or as mentioned in RFC2076, [3] respectively, but
the age of email has established "Cc" (mind the mixed uppercase and lowercase
letters) as some kind of de facto standard. [1][4][5] Moreover, some of the
git utilities, primarily git-send-email(1), already refer to making email
carbon copies as specifying "Cc:" email headers. As a result, "Cc" becomes
one of the exceptions to the general rule for making abbreviations.
