72fbe465ca mingw: add a cache below mingw's lstat and dirent implementations
Checking the work tree status is quite slow on Windows, due to slow
`lstat()` emulation (git calls `lstat()` once for each file in the
index). Windows operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning
the status of entire directories than checking single files.

Add an `lstat()` implementation that uses a cache for lstat data. Cache
misses read the entire parent directory and add it to the cache.
Subsequent `lstat()` calls for the same directory are served directly
from the cache.

Also implement `opendir()`/`readdir()`/`closedir()` so that they create
and use directory listings in the cache.

The cache doesn't track file system changes and doesn't plug into any
modifying file APIs, so it has to be explicitly enabled for git functions
that don't modify the working copy.

Note: in an earlier version of this patch, the cache was always active and
tracked file system changes via ReadDirectoryChangesW. However, this was
much more complex and had negative impact on the performance of modifying
git commands such as 'git checkout'.

917b6ea53a CMake: show Win32 and Generator_platform build-option values
Ensure key CMake option values are part of the CMake output to
facilitate user support when tool updates impact the wider CMake
actions, particularly ongoing 'improvements' in Visual Studio.

These CMake displays perform the same function as the build-options.txt
provided in the main Git for Windows. CMake is already chatty.
The setting of CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS is also reported.

Include the environment's CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS value which
may have been propogated to CMake's internal value.

Testing the CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS processing can be difficult
in the Visual Studio environment, as it may be cached in many places.
The 'environment' may include the OS, the user shell, CMake's
own environment, along with the Visual Studio presets and caches.

See previous commit for arefacts that need removing for a clean test.

f2caeab786 CMakeLists: add default "x64-windows" arch for Visual Studio
In Git-for-Windows, work on using ARM64 has progressed. The
commit 2d94b77b27 (cmake: allow building for Windows/ARM64, 2020-12-04)
failed to notice that /compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_install.bat will default to
using the "x64-windows" architecture for the vcpkg installation if not set,
but CMake is not told of this default. Commit 635b6d99b3 (vcbuild: install
ARM64 dependencies when building ARM64 binaries, 2020-01-31) later updated
vcpkg_install.bat to accept an arch (%1) parameter, but retained the default.

This default is neccessary for the use case where the project directory is
opened directly in Visual Studio, which will find and build a CMakeLists.txt
file without any parameters, thus expecting use of the default setting.

Also Visual studio will generate internal .sln solution and .vcxproj project
files needed for some extension tools. Inform users of the additional
.sln/.vcxproj generation.

** How to test:
 rm -rf '.vs' # remove old visual studio settings
 rm -rf 'compat/vcbuild/vcpkg' # remove any vcpkg downloads
 rm -rf 'contrib/buildsystems/out' # remove builds & CMake artifacts
 with a fresh Visual Studio Community Edition, File>>Open>>(git *folder*)
   to load the project (which will take some time!).
 check for successful compilation.
The implicit .sln (etc.) are in the hidden .vs directory created by
Visual Studio.

81a7be78da CMake: default Visual Studio generator has changed
Correct some wording and inform users regarding the Visual Studio
changes (from V16.6) to the default generator.

Subsequent commits ensure that Git for Windows can be directly
opened in modern Visual Studio without needing special configuration
of the CMakeLists settings.

It appeares that internally Visual Studio creates it's own version of the
.sln file (etc.) for extension tools that expect them.

The large number of references below document the shifting of Visual Studio
default and CMake setting options.

d2b7e3d5af subtree: update contrib/subtree test target
The intention of this change is to align with how the top-level git
`Makefile` defines its own test target (which also internally calls
`$(MAKE) -C t/ all`). This change also ensures the consistency of
`make -C contrib/subtree test` with other testing in CI executions
(which rely on `$DEFAULT_TEST_TARGET` being defined as `prove`).

f1d4e53119 cmake(): allow setting HOST_CPU for cross-compilation
Git's regular Makefile mentions that HOST_CPU should be defined when cross-compiling Git: 37796bca76/Makefile (L438-L439)

This is then used to set the GIT_HOST_CPU variable when compiling Git: 37796bca76/Makefile (L1337-L1341)

Then, when the user runs `git version --build-options`, it returns that value: 37796bca76/help.c (L658)

This commit adds the same functionality to the CMake configuration. Users can now set -DHOST_CPU= to set the target architecture.

f028bea164 win32: add a helper to run git.exe without a foreground window
On Windows, there are two kinds of executables, console ones and
non-console ones. Git's executables are all console ones.

When launching the former e.g. in a scheduled task, a CMD window pops
up. This is not what we want for the tasks installed via the `git
maintenance` command.

To work around this, let's introduce `headless-git.exe`, which is a
non-console program that does _not_ pop up any window. All it does is to
re-launch `git.exe`, suppressing that console window, passing through
all command-line arguments as-are.

6dd28bbcdb vcxproj: unclash project directories with build outputs
It already caused problems with the test suite that the directory
containing `git.vcxproj` is called the same as the Git executable
without its file extension: `./git` is ambiguous, it could refer both to
the directory `git/` as well as to `git.exe`.

Now there is one more problem: when our GitHub workflow runs on the
`vs/master` branch, it fails in all but the Windows builds, as they want
to write the file `git` but there is already a directory in the way.

Let's just go ahead and append `.proj` to all of those directories, e.g.
`git.proj/` instead of `git/`.

Mostly apply the part of "index-compatibility.pending.cocci" that

In doing so move more of "index-compatibility.pending.cocci" to

In the case of "active_nr" we'd have a textual conflict with
"ab/various-leak-fixes" in "next"[1]. Let's exclude that specific case

"pending", and then incrementally pick changes from it in subsequent
commits. In doing that we'll migrate rules from this
"index-compatibility.pending.cocci" to the "index-compatibility.cocci"
created in a preceding commit.

fbc1ed629e cocci & cache.h: remove rarely used "the_index" compat macros
Since 4aab5b46f4 (Make read-cache.c "the_index" free., 2007-04-01)
we've been undergoing a slow migration away from these macros, but
haven't made much progress since f8adbec9fe (cache.h: flip
NO_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS switch, 2019-01-24).

Let's move forward a bit by changing the users of those macros that
are rare enough that we can convert them in one go, and then remove
the compatibility shim.

The only manual change to the C code here is to "cache.h", the rest is
all the result of applying the new "index-compatibility.cocci".

Even though it's a one-off, let's keep the coccinelle rules for
now. We'll extend them in subsequent commits, and this will help
anything that's in-flight or out-of-tree to migrate.

dc1cf3580e Makefile & test-tool: replace "DC_SHA1" variable with a "define"
Address the root cause of technical debt we've been carrying since
sha1collisiondetection was made the default in [1]. In a preceding
commit we narrowly fixed a bug where the "DC_SHA1" variable would be
unset (in combination with "NO_APPLE_COMMON_CRYPTO=" on OSX), even
though we had the sha1collisiondetection library enabled.

But the only reason we needed to have such a user-exposed knob went
away with [1], and it's been doing nothing useful since then. We don't
care if you define DC_SHA1=*, we only care that you don't ask for any
other SHA-1 implementation. If it turns out that you didn't, we'll use
sha1collisiondetection, whether you had "DC_SHA1" set or not.

As a result of this being confusing we had e.g. [2] for cmake and the
recent [3] for ci/lib.sh setting "DC_SHA1" explicitly, even though
this was always a NOOP.

A much simpler way to do this is to stop having the Makefile and
CMakeLists.txt set "DC_SHA1" to be picked up by the test-lib.sh, let's
instead add a trivial "test-tool sha1-is-sha1dc". It returns zero if
we're using sha1collisiondetection, non-zero otherwise.

1. e6b07da278 (Makefile: make DC_SHA1 the default, 2017-03-17)
2. c4b2f41b5f (cmake: support for testing git with ctest, 2020-06-26)

6fae3aaf22 spatchcache: add a ccache-alike for "spatch"
Add a rather trivial "spatchcache", with this running e.g.:

	make cocciclean
	make contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch \
		SPATCH=contrib/coccicheck/spatchcache \
		SPATCH_FLAGS=--very-quiet

Is cut down from ~20s to ~5s on my system. Much of that is either
fixable shell overhead, or the around 40 files we "CANTCACHE" (see the
implementation).

This uses "redis" as a cache by default, but it's configurable. See
the embedded documentation.

This is *not* like ccache in that we won't cache failed spatch
invocations, or those where spatch suggests changes for us. Those
cases are so rare that I didn't think it was worth the bother, by far
the most common case is that it has no suggested changes. We'll also
refuse to cache any "spatch" invocation that has output on stderr,
which means that "--very-quiet" must be added to "SPATCH_FLAGS".

Because we narrow the cache to that we don't need to save away stdout,
stderr & the exit code. We simply cache the cases where we had no
suggested changes.

Another benchmark is to compare this with the previous
SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE=N, as noted in [1]. Before this (on my 8 core system) running:

	make clean; time make contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci.patch SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE=0

Would take 33s, but with the preceding changes running without this
"spatchcache" is slightly slower, or around 35s:

	make clean; time make contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci.patch

Now doing the same with SPATCH=contrib/coccinelle/spatchcache will
take around 6s, but we'll need to compile the *.o files first to take
full advantage of it (which can be fast with "ccache"):

	make clean; make; time make contrib/coccinelle/array.cocci.patch SPATCH=contrib/coccinelle/spatchcache

d0e624aed7 cocci: run against a generated ALL.cocci
The preceding commits to make the "coccicheck" target incremental made
it slower in some cases. As an optimization let's not have the
many=many mapping of <*.cocci>=<*.[ch]>, but instead concat the
<*.cocci> into an ALL.cocci, and then run one-to-many
ALL.cocci=<*.[ch]>.

A "make coccicheck" is now around 2x as fast as it was on "master",
and around 1.5x as fast as the preceding change to make the run
incremental:

	$ git hyperfine -L rev origin/master,HEAD~,HEAD -p 'make clean' 'make coccicheck SPATCH=spatch COCCI_SOURCES="$(echo $(ls o*.c builtin/h*.c))"' -r 3
	Benchmark 1: make coccicheck SPATCH=spatch COCCI_SOURCES="$(echo $(ls o*.c builtin/h*.c))"' in 'origin/master
	  Time (mean ± σ):      4.258 s ±  0.015 s    [User: 27.432 s, System: 1.532 s]
	  Range (min … max):    4.241 s …  4.268 s    3 runs

	Benchmark 2: make coccicheck SPATCH=spatch COCCI_SOURCES="$(echo $(ls o*.c builtin/h*.c))"' in 'HEAD~
	  Time (mean ± σ):      5.365 s ±  0.079 s    [User: 36.899 s, System: 1.810 s]
	  Range (min … max):    5.281 s …  5.436 s    3 runs

	Benchmark 3: make coccicheck SPATCH=spatch COCCI_SOURCES="$(echo $(ls o*.c builtin/h*.c))"' in 'HEAD
	  Time (mean ± σ):      2.725 s ±  0.063 s    [User: 14.796 s, System: 0.233 s]
	  Range (min … max):    2.667 s …  2.792 s    3 runs

	Summary
	  'make coccicheck SPATCH=spatch COCCI_SOURCES="$(echo $(ls o*.c builtin/h*.c))"' in 'HEAD' ran
	    1.56 ± 0.04 times faster than 'make coccicheck SPATCH=spatch COCCI_SOURCES="$(echo $(ls o*.c builtin/h*.c))"' in 'origin/master'
	    1.97 ± 0.05 times faster than 'make coccicheck SPATCH=spatch COCCI_SOURCES="$(echo $(ls o*.c builtin/h*.c))"' in 'HEAD~'

This can be turned off with SPATCH_CONCAT_COCCI, but as the
beneficiaries of "SPATCH_CONCAT_COCCI=" would mainly be those
developing the *.cocci rules themselves, let's leave this optimization
on by default.

For more information see my "Optimizing *.cocci rules by concat'ing
them" (<220901.8635dbjfko.gmgdl@evledraar.gmail.com>) on the
cocci@inria.fr mailing list.

This potentially changes the results of our *.cocci rules, but as
noted in that discussion it should be safe for our use. We don't name
rules, or if we do their names don't conflict across our *.cocci
files.

To the extent that we'd have any inter-dependencies between rules this
doesn't make that worse, as we'd have them now if we ran "make
coccicheck", applied the results, and would then have (due to
hypothetical interdependencies) suggested changes on the subsequent
"make coccicheck".

Our "coccicheck-test" target makes use of the ALL.cocci when running
tests, e.g. when testing unused.{c,out} we test it against ALL.cocci,
not unused.cocci. We thus assert (to the extent that we have test
coverage) that this concatenation doesn't change the expected results
of running these rules.

340a4cb25c cocci rules: remove <id>'s from rules that don't need them
The <id> in the <rulename> part of the coccinelle syntax[1] is for our
purposes there to declares if we have inter-dependencies between
different rules.

But such <id>'s must be unique within a given semantic patch file.  As
we'll be processing a concatenated version of our rules in the
subsequent commit let's remove these names. They weren't being used
for the semantic patches themselves, and equated to a short comment
about the rule.

Both the filename and context of the rules makes it clear what they're
doing, so we're not gaining anything from keeping these. Retaining
them goes against recommendations that "contrib/coccinelle/README"
will be making in the subsequent commit.

This leaves only one named rule in our sources, where it's needed for
a "<id> <-> <extends> <id>" relationship:

	$ git -P grep '^@ ' -- contrib/coccinelle/
	contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci:@ swap @
	contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci:@ extends swap @

316e3886e3 cocci: optimistically use COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES
Improve the incremental rebuilding support of "coccicheck" by
piggy-backing on the computed dependency information of the
corresponding *.o file, rather than rebuilding all <RULE>/<FILE> pairs
if either their corresponding file changes, or if any header changes.

This in effect uses the same method that the "sparse" target was made
to use in c234e8a0ec (Makefile: make the "sparse" target non-.PHONY,
2021-09-23), except that the dependency on the *.o file isn't a hard
one, we check with $(wildcard) if the *.o file exists, and if so we'll
depend on it.

This means that the common case of:

	make
	make coccicheck

Will benefit from incremental rebuilding, now changing e.g. a header
will only re-run "spatch" on those those *.c files that make use of
it:

By depending on the *.o we piggy-back on
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES. See c234e8a0ec (Makefile: make the
"sparse" target non-.PHONY, 2021-09-23) for prior art of doing that
for the *.sp files. E.g.:

    make contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch
    make -W column.h contrib/coccinelle/free.cocci.patch

Will take around 15 seconds for the second command on my 8 core box if
I didn't run "make" beforehand to create the *.o files. But around 2
seconds if I did and we have those "*.o" files.

Notes about the approach of piggy-backing on *.o for dependencies:

 * It *is* a trade-off since we'll pay the extra cost of running the C
   compiler, but we're probably doing that anyway. The compiler is much
   faster than "spatch", so even though we need to re-compile the *.o to
   create the dependency info for the *.c for "spatch" it's
   faster (especially if using "ccache").

 * There *are* use-cases where some would like to have *.o files
   around, but to have the "make coccicheck" ignore them. See:
   https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220826104312.GJ1735@szeder.dev/

   For those users a:

	make
	make coccicheck SPATCH_USE_O_DEPENDENCIES=

   Will avoid considering the *.o files.

 * If that *.o file doesn't exist we'll depend on an intermediate file
   of ours which in turn depends on $(FOUND_H_SOURCES).

   This covers both an initial build, or where "coccicheck" is run
   without running "all" beforehand, and because we run "coccicheck"
   on e.g. files in compat/* that we don't know how to build unless
   the requisite flag was provided to the Makefile.

   Most of the runtime of "incremental" runs is now spent on various
   compat/* files, i.e. we conditionally add files to COMPAT_OBJS, and
   therefore conflate whether we *can* compile an object and generate
   dependency information for it with whether we'd like to link it
   into our binary.

   Before this change the distinction didn't matter, but now one way
   to make this even faster on incremental builds would be to peel
   those concerns apart so that we can see that e.g. compat/mmap.c
   doesn't depend on column.h.

f1c903debd cocci: make "coccicheck" rule incremental
Optimize the very slow "coccicheck" target to take advantage of
incremental rebuilding, and fix outstanding dependency problems with
the existing rule.

The rule is now faster both on the initial run as we can make better
use of GNU make's parallelism than the old ad-hoc combination of
make's parallelism combined with $(SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE) and/or the
"--jobs" argument to "spatch(1)".

It also makes us *much* faster when incrementally building, it's now
viable to "make coccicheck" as topic branches are merged down.

The rule didn't use FORCE (or its equivalents) before, so a:

	make coccicheck
	make coccicheck

Would report nothing to do on the second iteration. But all of our
patch output depended on all $(COCCI_SOURCES) files, therefore e.g.:

    make -W grep.c coccicheck

Would do a full re-run, i.e. a a change in a single file would force
us to do a full re-run.

The reason for this (not the initial rationale, but my analysis) is:

* Since we create a single "*.cocci.patch+" we don't know where to
  pick up where we left off, or how to incrementally merge e.g. a
  "grep.c" change with an existing *.cocci.patch.

* We've been carrying forward the dependency on the *.c files since
  63f0a758a0 (add coccicheck make target, 2016-09-15) the rule was
  initially added as a sort of poor man's dependency discovery.

  As we don't include other *.c files depending on other *.c files
  has always been broken, as could be trivially demonstrated
  e.g. with:

       make coccicheck
       make -W strbuf.h coccicheck

  However, depending on the corresponding *.c files has been doing
  something, namely that *if* an API change modified both *.c and *.h
  files we'd catch the change to the *.h we care about via the *.c
  being changed.

  For API changes that happened only via *.h files we'd do the wrong
  thing before this change, but e.g. for function additions (not
  "static inline" ones) catch the *.h change by proxy.

Now we'll instead:

 * Create a <RULE>/<FILE> pair in the .build directory, E.g. for
   swap.cocci and grep.c we'll create
   .build/contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci.patch/grep.c.

   That file is the diff we'll apply for that <RULE>-<FILE>
   combination, if there's no changes to me made (the common case)
   it'll be an empty file.

 * Our generated *.patch
   file (e.g. contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci.patch) is now a simple "cat
   $^" of all of all of the <RULE>/<FILE> files for a given <RULE>.

   In the case discussed above of "grep.c" being changed we'll do the
   full "cat" every time, so they resulting *.cocci.patch will always
   be correct and up-to-date, even if it's "incrementally updated".

   See 1cc0425a27 (Makefile: have "make pot" not "reset --hard",
   2022-05-26) for another recent rule that used that technique.

As before we'll:

 * End up generating a contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci.patch, if we
   "fail" by creating a non-empty patch we'll still exit with a zero
   exit code.

   Arguably we should move to a more Makefile-native way of doing
   this, i.e. fail early, and if we want all of the "failed" changes
   we can use "make -k", but as the current
   "ci/run-static-analysis.sh" expects us to behave this way let's
   keep the existing behavior of exhaustively discovering all cocci
   changes, and only failing if spatch itself errors out.

Further implementation details & notes:

 * Before this change running "make coccicheck" would by default end
   up pegging just one CPU at the very end for a while, usually as
   we'd finish whichever *.cocci rule was the most expensive.

   This could be mitigated by combining "make -jN" with
   SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE, see 960154b9c1 (coccicheck: optionally batch
   spatch invocations, 2019-05-06).

   There will be cases where getting rid of "SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE" makes
   things worse, but a from-scratch "make coccicheck" with the default
   of SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE=1 (and tweaking it doesn't make a difference)
   is faster (~3m36s v.s. ~3m56s) with this approach, as we can feed
   the CPU more work in a less staggered way.

 * Getting rid of "SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE" particularly helps in cases
   where the default of 1 yields parallelism under "make coccicheck",
   but then running e.g.:

       make -W contrib/coccinelle/swap.cocci coccicheck

   I.e. before that would use only one CPU core, until the user
   remembered to adjust "SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE" differently than the
   setting that makes sense when doing a non-incremental run of "make
   coccicheck".

 * Before the "make coccicheck" rule would have to clean
   "contrib/coccinelle/*.cocci.patch*", since we'd create "*+" and
   "*.log" files there. Now those are created in
   .build/contrib/coccinelle/, which is covered by the "cocciclean" rule
   already.

Outstanding issues & future work:

 * We could get rid of "--all-includes" in favor of manually
   specifying a list of includes to give to "spatch(1)".

   As noted upthread of [1] a naïve removal of "--all-includes" will
   result in broken *.cocci patches, but if we know the exhaustive
   list of includes via COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES we don't need to
   re-scan for them, we could grab the headers to include from the
   .depend.d/<file>.o.d and supply them with the "--include" option to
   spatch(1).q

1762382ab1 subtree: fix split after annotated tag was squashed merged
The previous commit fixed a failure in 'git subtree merge --squash' when
the previous squash-merge merged an annotated tag of the subtree
repository which is missing locally.

The same failure happens in 'git subtree split', either directly or when
called by 'git subtree push', under the same circumstances: 'cmd_split'
invokes 'find_existing_splits', which loops through previous commits and
invokes 'git rev-parse' (via 'process_subtree_split_trailer') on the
value of any 'git subtree-split' trailer it finds. This fails if this
value is the hash of an annotated tag which is missing locally.

Add a new optional argument 'repository' to 'cmd_split' and
'find_existing_splits', and invoke 'cmd_split' with that argument from
'cmd_push'. This allows 'process_subtree_split_trailer' to try to fetch
the missing tag from the 'repository' if it's not available locally,
mirroring the new behaviour of 'git subtree pull' and 'git subtree
merge'.

0d330673d4 subtree: fix squash merging after annotated tag was squashed merged
When 'git subtree merge --squash $ref' is invoked, either directly or
through 'git subtree pull --squash $repo $ref', the code looks for the
latest squash merge of the subtree in order to create the new merge
commit as a child of the previous squash merge.

This search is done in function 'process_subtree_split_trailer', invoked
by 'find_latest_squash', which looks for the most recent commit with a
'git-subtree-split' trailer; that trailer's value is the object name in
the subtree repository of the ref that was last squash-merged. The
function verifies that this object is present locally with 'git
rev-parse', and aborts if it's not.

The hash referenced by the 'git-subtree-split' trailer is guaranteed to
correspond to a commit since it is the result of running 'git rev-parse
-q --verify "$1^{commit}"' on the first argument of 'cmd_merge' (this
corresponds to 'rev' in 'cmd_merge' which is passed through to
'new_squash_commit' and 'squash_msg').

But this is only the case since e4f8baa88a (subtree: parse revs in
individual cmd_ functions, 2021-04-27), which went into Git 2.32. Before
that commit, 'cmd_merge' verified the revision it was given using 'git
rev-parse --revs-only "$@"'. Such an invocation, when fed the name of an
annotated tag, would return the hash of the tag, not of the commit
referenced by the tag.

This leads to a failure in 'find_latest_squash' when squash-merging if
the most recent squash-merge merged an annotated tag of the subtree
repository, using a pre-2.32 version of 'git subtree', unless that
previous annotated tag is present locally (which is not usually the
case).

We can fix this by fetching the object directly by its hash in
'process_subtree_split_trailer' when 'git rev-parse' fails, but in order
to do so we need to know the name or URL of the subtree repository.
This is not possible in general for 'git subtree merge', but is easy
when it is invoked through 'git subtree pull' since in that case the
subtree repository is passed by the user at the command line.

Allow the 'git subtree pull' scenario to work out-of-the-box by adding
an optional 'repository' argument to functions 'cmd_merge',
'find_latest_squash' and 'process_subtree_split_trailer', and invoke
'cmd_merge' with that 'repository' argument in 'cmd_pull'.

If 'repository' is absent in 'process_subtree_split_trailer', instruct
the user to try fetching the missing object directly.

f10d31cf2d subtree: process 'git-subtree-split' trailer in separate function
Both functions 'find_latest_squash' (called by 'git subtree merge
--squash' and 'git subtree split --rejoin') and 'find_existing_splits'
(called by git 'subtree split') loop through commits that have a
'git-subtree-dir' trailer, and then process the 'git-subtree-mainline'
and 'git-subtree-split' trailers for those commits.

The processing done for the 'git-subtree-split' trailer is simple: we
check if the object exists with 'rev-parse' and set the variable
'sub' to the object name, or we die if the object does not exist.

In a future commit we will add more steps to the processing of this
trailer in order to make the code more robust.

To reduce code duplication, move the processing of the

7990142eb1 subtree: use named variables instead of "$@" in cmd_pull
'cmd_pull' already checks that only two arguments are given,
'repository' and 'ref'. Define variables with these names instead of
using the positional parameter $2 and "$@".

This will allow a subsequent commit to pass 'repository' to 'cmd_merge'.

34ab458cb1 subtree: define a variable before its first use in 'find_latest_squash'
The function 'find_latest_squash' takes a single argument, 'dir', but a
debug statement uses this variable before it takes its value from $1.

This statement thus gets the value of 'dir' from the calling function,
which currently is the same as the 'dir' argument, so it works but it
is confusing.

Move the definition of 'dir' before its first use.

5626a9e2a9 subtree: prefix die messages with 'fatal'
Just as was done in 0008d12284 (submodule: prefix die messages with
'fatal', 2021-07-10) for 'git-submodule.sh', make the 'die' messages
outputed by 'git-subtree.sh' more in line with the rest of the code base
by prefixing them with "fatal: ", and do not capitalize their first
letter.

2e94339fdc subtree: add 'die_incompatible_opt' function to reduce duplication
9a3e3ca2ba (subtree: be stricter about validating flags, 2021-04-27)
added validation code to check that options given to 'git subtree <cmd>'
made sense with the command being used.

Refactor these checks by adding a 'die_incompatible_opt' function to
reduce code duplication.

a50fcc13dd subtree: use 'git rev-parse --verify [--quiet]' for better error messages
There are three occurences of 'git rev-parse <rev>' in 'git-subtree.sh'
where the command expects a revision and the script dies or exits if the
revision can't be found. In that case, the error message from 'git
rev-parse' is:

    $ git rev-parse <bad rev>
    <bad rev>
    fatal: ambiguous argument '<bad rev>': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
    Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
    'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

This is a little confusing to the user, since this error message is
outputed by 'git subtree'.

At these points in the script, we know that we are looking for a single
revision, so be explicit by using '--verify', resulting in a little
better error message:

    $ git rev-parse --verify <bad rev>
    fatal: Needed a single revision

In the two occurences where we 'die' if 'git rev-parse' fails, 'git
subtree' outputs "could not rev-parse split hash $b from commit $sq", so
we actually do not need the supplementary error message from 'git
rev-parse'; add '--quiet' to silence it.

In the third occurence, we 'exit', so keep the error message from 'git
rev-parse'. Note that this messsage is still suboptimal since it can be
understood to mean that 'git rev-parse' did not receive a single
revision as argument, which is not the case here: the command did
receive a single revision, but the revision is not resolvable to an
available object.

The alternative would be to use '--' after the revision, as suggested by
the first error message, resulting in a clearer error message:

    $ git rev-parse <bad rev> --
    fatal: bad revision '<bad rev>'

Unfortunately we can't use that syntax because in the more common case
of the revision resolving to a known object, the command outputs the
object's hash, a newline, and the dashdash, which breaks the 'git
subtree' script.
