This topic branch allows us to specify absolute paths without the drive
prefix e.g. when cloning.
Example:
C:\Users\me> git clone https://github.com/git/git \upstream-git
This will clone into a new directory C:\upstream-git, in line with how
Windows interprets absolute paths.

After importing anything with fast-import, we should always let the
garbage collector do its job, since the objects are written to disk
inefficiently.
This brings down an initial import of http://selenic.com/hg from about
230 megabytes to about 14.
In the future, we may want to make this configurable on a per-remote
basis, or maybe teach fast-import about it in the first place.

From the documentation of said setting:
This boolean will enable fsync() when writing object files.
This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that
orders data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems
that do not use journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or
that only journal metadata and not file contents (OS X’s HFS+,
or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
The most common file system on Windows (NTFS) does not guarantee that
order, therefore a sudden loss of power (or any other event causing an
unclean shutdown) would cause corrupt files (i.e. files filled with
NULs). Therefore we need to change the default.
Note that the documentation makes it sound as if this causes really bad
performance. In reality, writing loose objects is something that is done
only rarely, and only a handful of files at a time.

When specifying an absolute path without a drive prefix, we convert that
path internally. Let's make sure that we handle that case properly, too

To avoid running into command line limitations, some of Git's commands
support the `--stdin` option.
Let's use exactly this option in the three rev-list/log invocations in
gitk that would otherwise possibly run the danger of trying to invoke a
too-long command line.
While it is easy to redirect either stdin or stdout in Tcl/Tk scripts,
what we need here is both. We need to capture the output, yet we also
need to pipe in the revs/files arguments via stdin (because stdin does
not have any limit, unlike the command line). To help this, we use the
neat Tcl feature where you can capture stdout and at the same time feed
a fixed string as stdin to the spawned process.
One non-obvious aspect about this change is that the `--stdin` option
allows to specify revs, the double-dash, and files, but *no* other
options such as `--not`. This is addressed by prefixing the "negative"
revs with `^` explicitly rather than relying on the `--not` option
(thanks for coming up with that idea, Max!).
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1987

On Windows, there are several categories of absolute paths. One such
category starts with a backslash and is implicitly relative to the
drive associated with the current working directory. Example:
c:
git clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git \G4W
should clone into C:\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
drive prefix, and as a consequence, the resulting path does not fit into
the originally-passed string buffer. The symptom is a "Result too large"
error.

This happens only when the corresponding commits are not exported in
the current fast-export run. This can happen either when the relevant
commit is already marked, or when the commit is explicitly marked
as UNINTERESTING with a negative ref by another argument.

checking connectivity of the data "git push" sent, but now it uses
only the refs that it advertised to the pusher. In a repository with
the .hideRefs configuration, this reduces the resources needed to
perform the check.

On my use case involving 771 islands of Linux on kernel.org,
this reduces memory usage by around 25MB. The bulk of that

This memory is saved early in the memory-intensive pack process,

When serving a push, git-receive-pack(1) needs to verify that the
packfile sent by the client contains all objects that are required by
the updated references. This connectivity check works by marking all
preexisting references as uninteresting and using the new reference tips
as starting point for a graph walk.
Marking all preexisting references as uninteresting can be a problem
when it comes to performance. Git forges tend to do internal bookkeeping
to keep alive sets of objects for internal use or make them easy to find
via certain references. These references are typically hidden away from
the user so that they are neither advertised nor writeable. At GitLab,
we have one particular repository that contains a total of 7 million
references, of which 6.8 million are indeed internal references. With
the current connectivity check we are forced to load all these
references in order to mark them as uninteresting, and this alone takes
around 15 seconds to compute.
We can optimize this by only taking into account the set of visible refs
when marking objects as uninteresting. This means that we may now walk
more objects until we hit any object that is marked as uninteresting.
But it is rather unlikely that clients send objects that make large
parts of objects reachable that have previously only ever been hidden,
whereas the common case is to push incremental changes that build on top
of the visible object graph.
This provides a huge boost to performance in the mentioned repository,
where the vast majority of its refs hidden. Pushing a new commit into
this repo with `transfer.hideRefs` set up to hide 6.8 million of 7 refs
as it is configured in Gitaly leads to a 4.5-fold speedup:
Benchmark 1: main
Time (mean ± σ): 30.977 s ± 0.157 s [User: 30.226 s, System: 1.083 s]

Summary
'pks-connectivity-check-hide-refs' ran
4.56 ± 0.05 times faster than 'main'
As we mostly go through the same codepaths even in the case where there
are no hidden refs at all compared to the code before there is no change
in performance when no refs are hidden:
Benchmark 1: main

Users can optionally hide refs from remote users in git-upload-pack(1),
git-receive-pack(1) and others via the `transfer.hideRefs`, but there is
not an easy way to obtain the list of all visible or hidden refs right
now. We'll require just that though for a performance improvement in our

The functions that handle exclusion of refs work on a single string
list. We're about to add a second mechanism for excluding refs though,
and it makes sense to reuse much of the same architecture for both kinds
of exclusion.
Introduce a new `struct ref_exclusions` that encapsulates all the logic
related to excluding refs and move the `struct string_list` that holds
all wildmatch patterns of excluded refs into it. Rename functions that
operate on this struct to match its name.

We're about to add a new argument to git-rev-list(1) that allows it to
add all references that are visible when taking `transfer.hideRefs` et
al into account. This will require us to potentially parse multiple sets
of hidden refs, which is not easily possible right now as there is only
a single, global instance of the list of parsed hidden refs.
Refactor `parse_hide_refs_config()` and `ref_is_hidden()` so that both
take the list of hidden references as input and adjust callers to keep a
local list, instead. This allows us to easily use multiple hidden-ref
lists. Furthermore, it allows us to properly free this list before we
exit.
