7be9e410b2 commit-graph: stop passing in redundant repository
Many of the commit-graph related functions take in both a repository and
the object database source (directly or via `struct commit_graph`) for
which we are supposed to load such a commit-graph. In the best case this
information is simply redundant as the source already contains a
reference to its owning object database, which in turn has a reference
to its repository. In the worst case this information could even
mismatch when passing in a source that doesn't belong to the same
repository.

Refactor the code so that we only pass in the object database source in
those cases.

There is one exception though, namely `load_commit_graph_chain_fd_st()`,
which is responsible for loading a commit-graph chain. It is expected
that parts of the commit-graph chain aren't located in the same object
source as the chain file itself, but in a different one. Consequently,
this function doesn't work on the source level but on the database level
instead.

ddacfc7466 commit-graph: stop using the_repository
There's still a bunch of uses of `the_repository` in "commit-graph.c",
which we want to stop using due to it being a global variable. Refactor
the code to stop using `the_repository` in favor of the repository
provided via the calling context.

This allows us to drop the `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro.

89cc9b9adf commit-graph: stop using the_hash_algo
Stop using `the_hash_algo` as it implicitly relies on `the_repository`.
Instead, we either use the hash algo provided via the context or, if
there is no such hash algo, we use `the_repository` explicitly. Such
uses will be removed in subsequent commits.

f1141b4391 commit-graph: refactor parse_commit_graph() to take a repository
Refactor `parse_commit_graph()` so that it takes a repository instead of
taking repository settings. On the one hand this allows us to get rid of
instances where we access `the_hash_algo` by using the repository's hash
algorithm instead. On the other hand it also allows us to move the call
of `prepare_repo_settings()` into the function itself.

Note that there's one small catch, as the commit-graph fuzzer calls this
function directly without having a fully functional repository at hand.
And while the fuzzer already initializes `the_repository` with relevant
info, the call to `prepare_repo_settings()` would fail because we don't
have a fully-initialized repository.

Work around the issue by also settings `settings.initialized` to pretend
that we've already read the settings.

While at it, remove the redundant `parse_commit_graph()` declaration in
the fuzzer. It was added together with aa658574bf (commit-graph, fuzz:
add fuzzer for commit-graph, 2019-01-15), but as we also declared the
same function in "commit-graph.h" it wasn't ever needed.

We have two macros `GRAPH_DATA_WIDTH` and `GRAPH_MIN_SIZE` that compute

8655908b9e abbrev: allow extending beyond 32 chars to disambiguate
When you have two or more objects with object names that share more
than 32 letters in an SHA-1 repository, find_unique_abbrev() fails
to show disambiguation.

To see how many leading letters of a given full object name is
sufficiently unambiguous, the algorithm starts from a initial
length, guessed based on the estimated number of objects in the
repository, and see if another object that shares the prefix, and
keeps extending the abbreviation.  The loop stops at GIT_MAX_RAWSZ,
which is counted as the number of bytes, since 5b20ace6 (sha1_name:
unroll len loop in find_unique_abbrev_r(), 2017-10-08); before that
change, it extended up to GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ, which meant to stop at the
end of hexadecimal SHA-1 object name.

Because the hexadecimal object name passed to the function is
NUL-terminated, and this fact is used to correctly terminate the
loop that scans for the first difference earlier in the function,
use it to make sure we do not increment the .cur_len member beyond
the end of the string.

f33b2207da send-email: enable copying emails to an IMAP folder without actually sending them
`git imap-send` was built on the idea of copying emails to an IMAP folder
like drafts, and sending them later using an email client. Currently
the only way to do it is by piping output of `git format-patch` to IMAP
send.

Add another way to do it by using `git send-email` with the
`--use-imap-only` or `sendmail.useImapOnly` option. This allows users to
use the advanced features of `git send-email` like tweaking Cc: list
programmatically, compose the cover letter, etc. and then send the well
formatted emails to an IMAP folder using `git imap-send`.

While at it, use `` instead of '' for --smtp-encryption ssl in help
section of `git send-email`.

04133f5bc4 send-email: add ability to send a copy of sent emails to an IMAP folder
Some email providers like Apple iCloud Mail do not support sending a copy
of sent emails to the "Sent" folder if SMTP server is used. As a
workaround, various email clients like Thunderbird which rely on SMTP,
use IMAP to send a copy of sent emails to the "Sent" folder. Something
similar can be done if sending emails via `git send-email`, by using
the `git imap-send` command to send a copy of the sent email to an IMAP
folder specified by the user.

Add this functionality to `git send-email` by introducing a new
configuration variable `sendemail.imapfolder` and command line option
`--imap-folder` which specifies the IMAP folder to send a copy of the
sent emails to. If specified, a copy of the sent emails will be sent
by piping the emails to `git imap-send` command, after all emails are
sent via SMTP and the SMTP server has been closed.

741f36c7d9 docs: remove stray bracket from git-clone synopsis
The synopsis section has an extra closing bracket, like this:

    [--filter=<filter>] [--also-filter-submodules]]

The extra one is not the one at the end of this line; it is the one
after "...=<filter>".

The "--also-filter-submodules" option was added by f05da2b4 (clone,
submodule: pass partial clone filters to submodules, 2022-02-04).
Because it makes sense only when used with the "--filter=<filter>"
option, these two options are enclosed in a pair of brackets.  The
extra one was added by 76880f05 (doc: git-clone: apply new
documentation formatting guidelines, 2024-03-29) by mistake.

Remove the extra and incorrect closing bracket, so that the line
reads:

16684b6fae refs/reftable: always reload stacks when creating lock
When creating a new addition via either `reftable_stack_new_addition()`
or its convenince wrapper `reftable_stack_add()` we:

  1. Create the "tables.list.lock" file.

  2. Verify that the current version of the "tables.list" file is
     up-to-date.

  3. Write the new table records if so.

By default, the second step would cause us to bail out if we see that
there has been a concurrent write to the stack that made our in-memory
copy of the stack out-of-date. This is a safety mechanism to not write
records to the stack based on outdated information.

The downside though is that concurrent writes may now cause us to bail
out, which is not a good user experience. In addition, this isn't even
necessary for us, as Git knows to perform all checks for the old state
of references under the lock. (Well, in all except one case: when we
expire the reflog we first create the log iterator before we create the
lock, but this ordering is fixed as part of this commit.)

Consequently, most writers pass the `REFTABLE_STACK_NEW_ADDITION_RELOAD`
flag. The effect of this flag is that we reload the stack after having
acquired the lock in case the stack is out-of-date. This plugs the race
with concurrent writers, but we continue performing the verifications of
the expected old state to catch actual conflicts in the references we
are about to write.

Adapt the remaining callsites that don't yet pass this flag to do so.
While at it, drop a needless manual reload.

8fd7a0ebe1 reftable: don't second-guess errors from flock interface
The `flock` interface is implemented as part of "reftable/system.c" and
thus needs to be implemented by the integrator between the reftable
library and its parent code base. As such, we cannot rely on any
specific implementation thereof.

Regardless of that, users of the `flock` subsystem rely on `errno` being
set to specific values. This is fragile and not documented anywhere and
doesn't really make for a good interface.

Refactor the code so that the implementations themselves are expected to
return reftable-specific error codes. Our implementation of the `flock`
subsystem already knows to do this for all error paths except one.

54d25de3ea reftable/stack: handle outdated stacks when compacting
When we compact the reftable stack we first acquire the lock for the
"tables.list" file and then reload the stack to check that it is still
up-to-date. This is done by calling `stack_uptodate()`, which knows to
return zero in case the stack is up-to-date, a positive value if it is
not and a negative error code on unexpected conditions.

We don't do proper error checking though, but instead we only check
whether the returned error code is non-zero. If so, we simply bubble it
up the calling stack, which means that callers may see an unexpected
positive value.

Fix this issue by translating to `REFTABLE_OUTDATED_ERROR` instead.
Handle this situation in `reftable_addition_commit()`, where we perform
a best-effort auto-compaction.

All other callsites of `stack_uptodate()` know to handle a positive
return value and thus don't need to be fixed.

178c588500 reftable/stack: allow passing flags to reftable_stack_add()
The `reftable_stack_add()` function is a simple wrapper to lock the
stack, add records to it via a callback and then commit the
result. One problem with it though is that it doesn't accept any flags
for creating the addition. This makes it impossible to automatically
reload the stack in case it was modified before we managed to lock the
stack.

Add a `flags` field to plug this gap and pass it through accordingly.
For now this new flag won't be used by us, but it will be used by
libgit2.

6fb1d819b7 reftable/stack: fix compiler warning due to missing braces
While perfectly legal, older compiler toolchains complain when
zero-initializing structs that contain nested structs with `{0}`:

    /home/libgit2/source/deps/reftable/stack.c:862:35: error: suggest braces around initialization of subobject [-Werror,-Wmissing-braces]
            struct reftable_addition empty = REFTABLE_ADDITION_INIT;
                                             ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    /home/libgit2/source/deps/reftable/stack.c:707:33: note: expanded from macro 'REFTABLE_ADDITION_INIT'
    #define REFTABLE_ADDITION_INIT {0}
                                    ^

We had the discussion around whether or not we want to handle such bogus
compiler errors in the past already [1]. Back then we basically decided
that we do not care about such old-and-buggy compilers, so while we
could fix the issue by using `{{0}}` instead this is not the preferred
way to handle this in the Git codebase.

We have an easier fix though: we can just drop the macro altogether and
handle initialization of the struct in `reftable_stack_addition_init()`.
Callers are expected to call this function already, so this change even
simplifies the calling convention.

ed26022094 doc: check for absence of multiple terms in each entry of desc list
For simplifying automated translation of the documentation, it is better to
only present one term in each entry of a description list of options. This
is because most of these terms can automatically be marked as

Also, due to portability issues, the script generate-configlist.sh can no
longer insert newlines in the output. However, the result is that it no
longer correctly handles multiple terms in a single entry of definition
lists.

As a result, we now check that these entries do not exist in the

63d33eb7f6 doc: check well-formedness of delimited sections
Having an empty line before each delimited sections is not required by
asciidoc, but it is a safety measure that prevents generating malformed
asciidoc when generating translated documentation.

When a delimited section appears just after a paragraph, the asciidoc
processor checks that the length of the delimited section header is
different from the length of the paragraph. If it is not, the asciidoc
processor will generate a title. In the original English documentation, this
is not a problem because the authors always check the output of the asciidoc
processor and fix the length of the delimited section header if it turns out
to be the same as the paragraph length. However, this is not the case for
translations, where the authors have no way to check the length of the
delimited section header or the output of the asciidoc processor. This can
lead to a section title that is not intended.

Indeed, this test also checks that titles are correctly formed, that is,
the length of the underline is equal to the length of the title (otherwise
it would not be a title but a section header).

Finally, this test checks that the delimited section are terminated within
the same file.

13296ac909 midx: compute paths via their source
With the preceding commits we started to always have the object database
source available when we load, write or access multi-pack indices. With
this in place we can change how MIDX paths are computed so that we don't
have to pass in the combination of a hash algorithm and object directory
anymore, but only the object database source.

Refactor the code accordingly.

7744936f37 midx: stop duplicating info redundant with its owning source
Multi-pack indices store some information that is redundant with their
owning source:

  - The locality bit that tracks whether the source is the primary
    object source or an alternate.

  - The object directory path the multi-pack index is located in.

  - The pointer to the owning parent directory.

All of this information is already contained in `struct odb_source`. So
now that we always have that struct available when loading a multi-pack
index we have it readily accessible.

Drop the redundant information and instead store a pointer to the object
source.

c3f5d25146 midx: write multi-pack indices via their source
Similar to the preceding commit, refactor the writing side of multi-pack
indices so that we pass in the object database source where the index
should be written to.

017db7bb14 midx: load multi-pack indices via their source
To load a multi-pack index the caller is expected to pass both the
repository and the object directory where the multi-pack index is
located. While this works, this layout has a couple of downsides:

  - We need to pass in information reduntant with the owning source,
    namely its object directory and whether the source is local or not.

  - We don't have access to the source when loading the multi-pack
    index. If we had that access, we could store a pointer to the owning
    source in the MIDX and thus deduplicate some information.

  - Multi-pack indices are inherently specific to the object source and
    its format. With the goal of pluggable object backends in mind we
    will eventually want the backends to own the logic of reading and
    writing multi-pack indices. Making the logic work on top of object
    sources is a step into that direction.

Refactor loading of multi-pack indices accordingly.

This surfaces one small problem though: git-multi-pack-index(1) and our
MIDX test helper both know to read and write multi-pack-indices located
in a different object directory. This issue is addressed by adding the
user-provided object directory as an in-memory alternate.

9ff2129615 midx: drop redundant struct repository parameter
There are a couple of functions that take both a `struct repository` and
a `struct multi_pack_index`. This provides redundant information though
without much benefit given that the multi-pack index already has a
pointer to its owning repository.

Drop the `struct repository` parameter from such functions. While at it,
reorder the list of parameters of `fill_midx_entry()` so that the MIDX
comes first to better align with our coding guidelines.

57363dfa0d odb: simplify calling link_alt_odb_entry()
Callers of `link_alt_odb_entry()` are expected to pass in three
different paths:

  - The (potentially relative) path of the object directory that we're
    about to add.

  - The base that should be used to resolve a relative object directory
    path.

  - The resolved path to the object database's objects directory.

Juggling those three paths makes the calling convention somewhat hard to
grok at first.

As it turns out, the third parameter is redundant: we always pass in the
resolved path of the object database's primary source, and we already
pass in the database itself. So instead, we can resolve that path in the
function itself.

One downside of this is that one caller of `link_alt_odb_entry()` calls
this function in a loop, so we were able to resolve the directory a
single time, only. But ultimately, we only ever end up with a rather
limited number of alternates anyway, so the extra couple of cycles we
save feels more like a micro optimization.

Refactor the code accordingly.

a59d44ff3f odb: return newly created in-memory sources
Callers have no trivial way to obtain the newly created object database
source when adding it to the in-memory list of alternates. While not yet
needed anywhere, a subsequent commit will want to obtain that pointer.

Refactor the function to return the source to make it easily accessible.

25c532f6e0 odb: consistently use "dir" to refer to alternate's directory
The functions that add an alternate object directory to the object
database are somewhat inconsistent in how they call the paramater that
refers to the directory path: in our headers we refer to it as "dir",
whereas in the implementation we often call it "reference" or "entry".

Unify this and consistently call the parameter "dir". While at it,
refactor `link_alt_odb_entry()` to accept a C string instead of a
`struct strbuf` as parameter to clarify that we really only need the
path and nothing else.

0d61933b8f odb: allow odb_find_source() to fail
When trying to locate a source for an unknown object directory we will
die right away. In subsequent patches we will add new callsites though
that want to handle this situation gracefully instead.

Refactor the function to return a `NULL` pointer if the source could not
be found and adapt the callsites to die instead. Introduce a new wrapper
`odb_find_source_or_die()` that continues to die in case the source
could not be found.

595bef7180 odb: store locality in object database sources
Object database sources are classified either as:

  - Local, which means that the source is the repository's primary
    source. This is typically ".git/objects".

  - Non-local, which is everything else. Most importantly this includes
    alternates and quarantine directories.

This locality is often computed ad-hoc by checking whether a given
object source is the first one. This works, but it is quite roundabout.

Refactor the code so that we store locality when creating the sources in
the first place. This makes it both more accessible and robust.

22d421fed9 builtin/fmt-merge-msg: stop depending on 'the_repository'
Refactor builtin/fmt-merge-msg.c to remove the dependancy on the global
'the_repository'. Remove the 'UNUSED' macro from the 'struct repository'
parameter and replace 'git_config()' with 'repo_config()' so that
configuration is read from the passed repository. Also, add a test to
make sure that "git fmt-merge-msg -h" can be called outside a
repository.
