With 974cdca345c (doc: introduce a synopsis typesetting, 2024-09-24) we
have introduced a new synopsis type that simplifies the rules for
typesetting a command's synopsis. Convert the git-reflog(1)
documentation to use it.
While at it, convert the list of options to use backticks. This is done
to appease an upcoming new linter that mandates the use of backticks
when using the synopsis type.

Add a test script, `t/t1461-refs-list.sh`, for the new `git refs list`
command.
This script acts as a simple driver, leveraging the shared test library
created in the preceding commit. It works by overriding the
`$git_for_each_ref` variable to "git refs list" and then sourcing the
shared library (`t/for-each-ref-tests.sh`).
This approach ensures that `git refs list` is tested against the
entire comprehensive test suite of `git for-each-ref`, verifying
that it acts as a compatible drop-in replacement.

In preparation for adding tests for the new `git refs list` command,
refactor the existing t6300 test suite to make its logic shareable.
Move the core test logic from `t6300-for-each-ref.sh` into a new
`for-each-ref-tests.sh` file. Inside this new script, replace hardcoded
calls to "git for-each-ref" with the `$git_for_each_ref` variable.
The original `t6300-for-each-ref.sh` script now becomes a simple
"driver". It is responsible for setting the default value of the
variable and then sourcing the test library.
This new structure follows the established pattern used for sharing
tests between `git-blame` and `git-annotate` and prepares the test suite
for the `refs list` tests to be added in a subsequent commit.

Git's reference management is distributed across multiple commands. As
part of an ongoing effort to consolidate and modernize reference
handling, introduce a `list` subcommand under the `git refs` umbrella as
a replacement for `git for-each-ref`.
Implement `cmd_refs_list` by having it call the `for_each_ref_core()`
helper function. This helper was factored out of the original
`cmd_for_each_ref` in a preceding commit, allowing both commands to
share the same core logic as independent peers.
Add documentation for the new command. The man page leverages the shared
options file, created in a previous commit, by using the AsciiDoc
`include::` macro to ensure consistency with git-for-each-ref(1).

The implementation of `git for-each-ref` is monolithic within
`cmd_for_each_ref()`, making it impossible to share its logic with other
commands. To enable code reuse for the upcoming `git refs list`
subcommand, refactor the core logic into a shared helper function.
Introduce a new `for-each-ref.h` header to define the public interface
for this shared logic. It contains the declaration for a new helper
function, `for_each_ref_core()`, and a macro for the common usage
options.
Move the option parsing, filtering, and formatting logic from
`cmd_for_each_ref()` into a new helper function named
`for_each_ref_core()`. This helper is made generic by accepting the
command's usage string as a parameter.
The original `cmd_for_each_ref()` is simplified to a thin wrapper that
is only responsible for defining its specific usage array and calling
the shared helper.

In "git remote set-head", we can take varying numbers of arguments
depending on whether we saw the "-d" or "-a" options. But the first
argument is always the remote name.
The current code is somewhat awkward in that it conditionally handles
the remote name up-front like this:
if (argc)
remote = ...from argv[0]...
and then only later decides to bail if we do not have the right number
of arguments for the options we saw.
This makes it hard to figure out if "remote" is always set when it needs
to be. Both for humans, but also for compilers; with -Og, gcc complains
that "remote" can be accessed without being initialized (although this
is not true, as we'd always die with a usage message in that case).
Let's instead enforce the presence of the remote argument up front,
which fixes the compiler warning and is easier to understand. It does
mean duplicating the code to print a usage message, but it's a single
line.

In `archive-zip.c:write_zip_entry()` when using a stream as input for
deflating a file, the call to `git_deflate()` with Z_FINISH always
expects Z_STREAM_END to be returned. Per zlib documentation[1]:
If the parameter flush is set to Z_FINISH, pending input is
processed, pending output is flushed and deflate returns with
Z_STREAM_END if there was enough output space. If deflate
returns with Z_OK or Z_BUF_ERROR, this function must be called
again with Z_FINISH and more output space (updated avail_out)
but no more input data, until it returns with Z_STREAM_END or an
error. After deflate has returned Z_STREAM_END, the only
possible operations on the stream are deflateReset or
deflateEnd.
In scenarios where the output buffer is not large enough to write all
the compressed data, it is perfectly valid for the underlying
`deflate()` to return Z_OK. Thus, expecting a single pass of `deflate()`
here to always return Z_STREAM_END is a bug. Update the code to flush
the deflate stream until Z_STREAM_END is returned.

When finding a location for the askpass helper, git will be asked
for its exec path, but if that git is not the same that called
git-gui then we might mistakenly point to its helper instead.
Assume that git-gui and the helper are colocated to derive its
path instead.
This is specially useful in macOS where a broken version of that
helper is provided by the system git.

When building with clang-22 and DEVELOPER=1 mode, this warning causes us

114 | const char sentinel_value;

The compiler is right that this code is a bit funny. We declare a const
value without an initializer. It cannot be assigned to because of the
const, but without an initializer it has no predictable value. So as a
variable it can never have any useful function, and if we tried to look
at it, we'd get undefined behavior.
But it does have a function. We never use its value, but rather use its
address as a sentinel value for some other variables:
const char *gpg_sign = &sentinel_value;
...maybe set gpg_sign via parse_options...
if (gpg_sign != &sentinel_value)
...we got a non-default value...
Normally we'd use NULL as a sentinel value for a pointer, but it doesn't
work here because we also want to detect --no-gpg-sign, which is marked
by setting the pointer to NULL. We need a separate "this was not
touched" value, which is what this sentinel variable gives us.
So the code is correct as-is, but the sentinel variable itself is funny
enough that it's understandable for a compiler warning to flag it. Let's
try to appease the compiler.
There are a few possible options:
1. Instead of a variable, we could just construct an artificial
sentinel address like "1", "-1", etc. I think these technically
fall afoul of the C standard (even if we do not access them, even
constructing invalid pointers is not always allowed). But it's also
something we do elsewhere, and even happens in some standard
interfaces (e.g., mmap()'s MMAP_FAILED value). It does involve some
annoying casts, though.
2. We can mark it as static. That gives it a definite value, but
perhaps makes people wonder if the static-ness is important, when
it's not.
3. We can just give it a value to shut the compiler up, even though
nobody cares about that value.
I went with (3) here as the smallest and most obvious change.

ReFS is an alternative filesystem to NTFS. On Windows 2022, it seems not
to support the rename operation using POSIX semantics that Git uses on
Windows as of 391bceae4350 (compat/mingw: support POSIX semantics for
atomic renames, 2024-10-27).
However, Windows 2022 reports `ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED` in this instance.
This is in contrast to `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER` (as previous Windows
versions would report that do not support POSIX semantics in renames at
all).
Let's handle both errors the same: by falling back to the best-effort
option, namely to rename without POSIX semantics.

In ac33519ddfa8 (mingw: restrict file handle inheritance only on Windows
7 and later, 2019-11-22), I introduced code to safe-guard the
defense-in-depth handling that restricts handles' inheritance so that it
would work with Windows 7, too.
Let's revert this patch: Git for Windows dropped supporting Windows 7 (and
Windows 8) directly after Git for Windows v2.46.2. For full details, see
https://gitforwindows.org/requirements#windows-version.
Actually, on second thought: revert only the part that makes this handle
inheritance restriction logic optional and that suggests to open a bug
report if it fails, but keep the fall-back to try again without said
logic: There have been a few false positives over the past few years
(where the warning was triggered e.g. because Defender was still
accessing a file that Git wanted to overwrite), and the fall-back logic
seems to have helped occasionally in such situations.

Do that by tracking partial get operations in a prio_queue wrapper,

tr2_cfg_load_patterns() and tr2_load_env_vars() functions are
functions with very similar structure that each reads an environment
variable, splits its value at the ',' boundaries, and trims the
resulting string pieces into an array of strbufs.
But the code paths that later use these strbufs take no advantage of
the strbuf-ness of the result (they do not benefit from <ptr,len>
representation to avoid having to run strlen(<ptr>), for example).
Simplify the code by teaching these functions to split into a string
list instead; even the trimming comes for free ;-).

strbuf_trim_trailing_newline() removes a LF or a CRLF from the tail
of a string. If the code plans to call strbuf_trim() immediately
after doing so, the code is better off skipping the EOL trimming in

case of whitespaces at the end of the string, which will be removed
by strbuf_rtrim() anyway.
