When parsing server capabilities, we use "int" to store lengths and
offsets. At first glance this seems like a spot where our parser may be
confused by integer overflow if somebody sent us a malicious response.
In practice these strings are all bounded by the 64k limit of a
pkt-line, so using "int" is OK. However, it makes the code simpler to
audit if they just use size_t everywhere. Note that because we take
these parameters as pointers, this also forces many callers to update
their declared types.

In order to write a bitmap, we need to have full coverage of all objects
that are about to be packed. In the traditional non-multi-pack-index
world this meant we need to do a full repack of all objects into a
single packfile. But in the new multi-pack-index world we can get away
with writing bitmaps when we have multiple packfiles as long as the
multi-pack-index covers all objects.
This is not always the case though. When asked to perform a repack of
local objects, only, then we cannot guarantee to have full coverage of
all objects regardless of whether we do a full repack or a repack with a
multi-pack-index. The end result is that writing the bitmap will fail in
both worlds:
$ git multi-pack-index write --stdin-packs --bitmap <packfiles
warning: Failed to write bitmap index. Packfile doesn't have full closure (object 1529341d78cf45377407369acb0f4ff2b5cdae42 is missing)
error: could not write multi-pack bitmap
Now there are two different ways to fix this. The first one would be to
amend git-multi-pack-index(1) to disable writing bitmaps when we notice
that we don't have full object coverage.
- We don't have enough information in git-multi-pack-index(1) in
order to tell whether the local repository _should_ have full
coverage. Because even when connected to an alternate object
directory, it may be the case that we still have all objects
around in the main object database.
- git-multi-pack-index(1) is quite a low-level tool. Automatically
disabling functionality that it was asked to provide does not feel
like the right thing to do.
We can easily fix it at a higher level in git-repack(1) though. When
asked to only include local objects via `-l` and when connected to an
alternate object directory then we will override the user's ask and
disable writing bitmaps with a warning. This is similar to what we do in
git-pack-objects(1), where we also disable writing bitmaps in case we
omit an object from the pack.

When the user passes `-l` to git-repack(1), then they essentially ask us
to only repack objects part of the local object database while ignoring
any packfiles part of an alternate object database. And we in fact honor
this bit when doing a geometric repack as the resulting packfile will
only ever contain local objects.
What we're missing though is that we don't take locality of packfiles
into account when computing whether the geometric sequence is intact or
not. So even though we would only ever roll up local packfiles anyway,
we could end up trying to repack because of non-local packfiles. This
does not make much sense, and in the worst case it can cause us to try
and do the geometric repack over and over again because we're never able
to restore the geometric sequence.
Fix this bug by honoring whether the user has passed `-l`. If so, we
skip adding any non-local packfiles to the pack geometry.

When passing the same packfile both as included and excluded via the
`--stdin-packs` option, then we will return an error because the
excluded packfile cannot be found. This is because we will only set the
`util` pointer for the included packfile list if it was found, so that
we later die when we notice that it's in fact not set for the excluded
packfile list.
Fix this bug by always setting the `util` pointer for both the included
and excluded list entries.

When passed the same packfile twice via `--stdin-packs` we return an
error that the packfile supposedly was not found. This is because when
reading packs into the list of included or excluded packfiles, we will
happily re-add packfiles even if they are part of the lists already. And
while the list can now contain duplicates, we will only set the `util`
pointer of the first list entry to the `packed_git` structure. We notice
that at a later point when checking that all list entries have their
`util` pointer set and die with an error.
While this is kind of a nonsensical request, this scenario can be hit
when doing geometric repacks. When a repository is connected to an
alternate object directory and both have the exact same packfile then
both would get added to the geometric sequence. And when we then decide
to perform the repack, we will invoke git-pack-objects(1) with the same
packfile twice.
Fix this bug by removing any duplicates from both the included and
excluded packs.

When writing the multi-pack-index with geometric repacking we will add
all packfiles to the index that are part of the geometric sequence. This
can potentially also include packfiles borrowed from an alternate object
directory. But given that a multi-pack-index can only ever include packs
that are part of the main object database this does not make much sense
whatsoever.
In the edge case where all packfiles are contained in the alternate
object database and the local repository has none itself this bug can
cause us to invoke git-multi-pack-index(1) with only non-local packfiles
that it ultimately cannot find. This causes it to return an error and
thus causes the geometric repack to fail.
Fix the code to skip non-local packfiles.

When doing a geometric repack with multi-pack-indices, then we ask
git-multi-pack-index(1) to use the largest packfile as the preferred
pack. It can happen though that the largest packfile is not part of the
main object database, but instead part of an alternate object database.
The result is that git-multi-pack-index(1) will not be able to find the
preferred pack and print a warning. It then falls back to use the first
packfile that the multi-pack-index shall reference.
Fix this bug by only considering packfiles as preferred pack that are
local. This is the right thing to do given that a multi-pack-index
should never reference packfiles borrowed from an alternate.
While at it, rename the function `get_largest_active_packfile()` to
`get_preferred_pack()` to better document its intent.

cache.h's nature of a dumping ground of includes prevented it from
being included in some compat/ files, forcing us into a workaround
of having a double forward declaration of the read_in_full() function
(see commit 14086b0a13 ("compat/pread.c: Add a forward declaration to
fix a warning", 2007-11-17)). Now that we have moved functions like
read_in_full() from cache.h to wrapper.h, and wrapper.h isn't littered
with unrelated and scary #defines, get rid of the extra forward
declaration and just have compat/pread.c include wrapper.h.

6f054f9fb3 (builtin/clone.c: disallow --local clones with
symlinks, 2022-07-28) gives a good error message when "git clone
--local" fails when the repo to clone has symlinks in
"$GIT_DIR/objects". In bffc762f87 (dir-iterator: prevent top-level
symlinks without FOLLOW_SYMLINKS, 2023-01-24), we later extended this
restriction to the case where "$GIT_DIR/objects" is itself a symlink,
but we didn't update the error message then - bffc762f87's tests show
that we print a generic "failed to start iterator over" message.
This is exacerbated by the fact that Documentation/git-clone.txt
mentions neither restriction, so users are left wondering if this is
intentional behavior or not.
Fix this by adding a check to builtin/clone.c: when doing a local clone,
perform an extra check to see if "$GIT_DIR/objects" is a symlink, and if
so, assume that that was the reason for the failure and report the
relevant information. Ideally, dir_iterator_begin() would tell us that
the real failure reason is the presence of the symlink, but (as far as I
can tell) there isn't an appropriate errno value for that.
Also, update Documentation/git-clone.txt to reflect that this
restriction exists.

When handling "--strategy-option" rebase collects the commands into a
struct string_list, then concatenates them into a string, prepending "--"
to each one before splitting the string and removing the "--" prefix.
This is an artifact of the scripted rebase and the need to support
"rebase --preserve-merges". Now that "--preserve-merges" no-longer
exists we can cleanup the way the argument is handled.
The tests for a bad strategy option are adjusted now that
parse_strategy_opts() is no-longer called when starting a rebase. The
fact that it only errors out when running "git rebase --continue" is a
mixed blessing but the next commit will fix the root cause of the
parsing problem so lets not worry about that here.

The sequencer stores the merge strategy options in an array of strings
which allocated with ALLOC_GROW(). Using "struct strvec" avoids manually
managing the memory of that array and simplifies the code.
Aside from memory allocation the changes to the sequencer are largely
mechanical, changing xopts_nr to xopts.nr and xopts[i] to xopts.v[i]. A
new option parsing macro OPT_STRVEC() is also added to collect the
strategy options. Hopefully this can be used to simplify the code in
builtin/merge.c in the future.
Note that there is a change of behavior to "git cherry-pick" and "git
revert" as passing “--no-strategy-option” will now clear any previous
strategy options whereas before this change it did nothing.

The state files for "--strategy" and "--strategy-option" are written and
read twice, once by builtin/rebase.c and then by sequencer.c. This is an
artifact of the scripted rebase and the need to support "rebase
--preserve-merges". Now that "--preserve-merges" no-longer exists we
only need to read and write these files in sequencer.c. This enables us
to remove a call to free() in read_strategy_opts() that was added by
f1f4ebf432 (sequencer.c: fix "opts->strategy" leak in
read_strategy_opts(), 2022-11-08) as this commit fixes the root cause of
that leak.
There is further scope for removing duplication in the reading and
writing of state files between builtin/rebase.c and sequencer.c but that
is left for a follow up series.

When no merge.tool or diff.tool is configured or manually selected, the
selection of a default tool is sensitive to the DISPLAY variable; in a
GUI session a gui-specific tool will be proposed if found, and
otherwise a terminal-based one. This "GUI-optimizing" behavior is
important because a GUI can make a huge difference to a user's ability
to understand and correctly complete a non-trivial conflicting merge.
Some time ago the merge.guitool and diff.guitool config options were
introduced to enable users to configure both a GUI tool, and a non-GUI
tool (with fallback if no GUI tool configured), in the same environment.
Unfortunately, the --gui argument introduced to support the selection of
the guitool is still explicit. When using configured tools, there is no
equivalent of the no-tool-configured "propose a GUI tool if we are in a GUI
environment" behavior.
As proposed in <xmqqmtb8jsej.fsf@gitster.g>, introduce new configuration
options, difftool.guiDefault and mergetool.guiDefault, supporting a special
value "auto" which causes the corresponding tool or guitool to be selected
depending on the presence of a non-empty DISPLAY value. Also support "true"
to say "default to the guitool (unless --no-gui is passed on the
commandline)", and "false" as the previous default behavior when these new
configuration options are not specified.

A user could prepare an empty repository and set it to use SHA256 as
the object format. The new repository created by "git clone" from
such a repository however would not record that it is expecting
objects in the same SHA256 format. This works as expected if the
source repository is not empty.
