In the preceding commits we have fixed a couple of issues when
allocating zero-sized objects. These issues were masked by
implementation-defined behaviour. Quoting malloc(3p):
If size is 0, either:
* A null pointer shall be returned and errno may be set to an
implementation-defined value, or
* A pointer to the allocated space shall be returned. The
application shall ensure that the pointer is not used to access an
object.
So it is perfectly valid that implementations of this function may or
may not return a NULL pointer in such a case.
Adapt both `reftable_malloc()` and `reftable_realloc()` so that they
return NULL pointers on zero-sized allocations. This should remove any
implementation-defined behaviour in our allocators and thus allows us to
detect such platform-specific issues more easily going forward.

Similar as the preceding commit, we may try to do a zero-sized
allocation when reloading a reftable stack that ain't got any tables.
It is implementation-defined whether malloc(3p) returns a NULL pointer
in that case or a zero-sized object. In case it does return a NULL
pointer though it causes us to think we have run into an out-of-memory
situation, and thus we return an error.
Fix this by only allocating arrays when they have at least one entry.

It was reported [1] that Git started to fail with an out-of-memory error
when initializing repositories with the reftable backend on NonStop
platforms. A bisect led to 802c0646ac (reftable/merged: handle
allocation failures in `merged_table_init_iter()`, 2024-10-02), which
changed how we allocate memory when initializing a merged table.
The root cause of this seems to be that NonStop returns a `NULL` pointer
when doing a zero-sized allocation. This would've already happened
before the above change, but we never noticed because we did not check
the result. Now we do notice and thus return an out-of-memory error to
the caller.
Fix the issue by skipping the allocation altogether in case there are no
readers.

In order to compact tables we need at least two tables. Bail out early
from `reftable_stack_auto_compact()` in case we have less than two
tables.
In the original, `stack_table_sizes_for_compaction()` yields an array
that has the same length as the number of tables. This array is then
passed on to `suggest_compaction_segment()`, which returns an empty
segment in case we have less than two tables. The segment is then passed
to `segment_size()`, which will return `0` because both start and end of
the segment are `0`. And because we only call `stack_compact_range()` in
case we have a positive segment size we don't perform auto-compaction at
all. Consequently, this change does not result in a user-visible change
in behaviour when called with a single table.
But when called with no tables this protects us against a potential
out-of-memory error: `stack_table_sizes_for_compaction()` would try to
allocate a zero-byte object when there aren't any tables, and that may
lead to a `NULL` pointer on some platforms like NonStop which causes us
to bail out with an out-of-memory error.

It is possible to configure a Git build without Perl when disabling both
our test suite and all Perl-based features. In Meson, this can be
achieved with `meson setup -Dperl=disabled -Dtests=false`.
It was reported by a user that this breaks the Meson build because
gitweb gets built even if Perl was not discovered in such a build:
$ meson setup .. -Dtests=false -Dperl=disabled
...

Fix this issue by introducing a new feature-option that allows the user
to configure whether or not to build Gitweb. The feature is set to
'auto' by default and will be disabled automatically in case Perl was
not found on the system.

The alloc and nr fields of a prio-queue tell us how much memory is
allocated and used in the array. So the natural type for them is size_t,
which prevents overflow on 64-bit systems where "int" is still 32 bits.
This is unlikely to happen in practice, as we typically use it for
storing commits, and having 2^31 of those is rather a lot. But it's good
to keep our generic data structures as flexible as possible. And as we
start to enforce -Wsign-compare, it means that callers need to use
"int", too, and the problem proliferates. Let's fix it at the source.
The changes here can be put into a few groups:
1. Changing the alloc/nr fields in the struct to size_t. This requires
swapping out int for size_t in negotiator/skipping.c, as well as
in prio_queue_get(), because those all iterate over the array.
Building with -Wsign-compare complains about these.
2. Other code that assigns or passes around indexes into the array
(e.g., the swap() and compare() functions) won't trigger
-Wsign-compare because we are simply truncating the values. These
are caught by -Wconversion, but I've adjusted them here to
future-proof us.
3. In prio_queue_reverse() we compute "queue->nr - 1" without checking
if anything is in the queue, which underflows now that nr is
unsigned. We can fix that by returning early when the queue is
empty (there is nothing to reverse).
4. The insertion_ctr variable is currently unsigned, but can likewise
grow (it is actually worse, because adding and removing an element
many times will keep increasing the counter, even though "nr" does
not). I've bumped that to size_t here, as well.
But -Wconversion notes that computing the "cmp" result by
subtracting the counters and assigning to "int" is a potential
problem. And that's true even before this patch, since we use an
unsigned counter (imagine comparing "2^32-1" and "0", which should
be a high positive value, but instead is "-1" as a signed int).
Since we only care about the sign (and not the magnitude) of the
result, we could fix this by swapping out the subtraction for a
ternary comparison. Probably the performance impact would be
negligible, since we just called into a custom compare function and
branched on its result anyway. But it's easy enough to do a
branchless version by subtracting the comparison results.

Commit 44f9fd6496 (pack-bitmap.c: check preferred pack validity when
opening MIDX bitmap, 2022-05-24) prevents a race condition whereby the
preferred pack disappears between opening the MIDX bitmap and attempting
verbatim reuse out of its packs.
That commit forces open_midx_bitmap_1() to ensure the validity of the
MIDX's preferred pack, meaning that we have an open file handle on the
*.pack, ensuring that we can reuse bytes out of verbatim later on in the
process[^1].
But 44f9fd6496 was not extended to cover multi-pack reuse, meaning that
this same race condition exists for non-preferred packs during verbatim
reuse. Work around that race in the same way by only marking valid packs
as reuse-able. For packs that aren't reusable, skip over them but
include the number of objects they have to ensure we allocate a large
enough 'reuse' bitmap (e.g. if a pack in the middle of the MIDX
disappeared but we still want to reuse later packs).
Since we're ensuring the validity of these packs within the verbatim
reuse code, we no longer have to special-case the preferred pack and
open it within the open_midx_bitmap_1() function.
An alternative approach to the one taken here would be to open all
MIDX'd packs from within open_midx_bitmap_1(). But that would be both
slower and make the bitmaps less useful, since we can still perform some
pack reuse among the packs that still exist when the *.bitmap is opened.
After applying this patch, we can simulate the new behavior after
instrumenting Git like so:
diff --git a/packfile.c b/packfile.c

Note that we could relax the single-pack version of this which was most
recently addressed in dc1daacdcc (pack-bitmap: check pack validity when
opening bitmap, 2021-07-23), but only partially. Because we still need
to know the object count in the pack, we'd still have to open the pack's
*.idx, so the savings there are marginal.
Note likewise that we add a new "if (!packs_nr)" early return in the
pack reuse code to avoid a potentially expensive allocation on the
'reuse' bitmap in the case that no packs are available for reuse.
[^1]: Unless we run out of open file handles. If that happens and we are
forced to close the only open file handle of a file that has been
removed from underneath us, there is nothing we can do.

When the `vcxproj` target was introduced in `config.mak.uname` to allow
building Git with the Visual C toolchain, the `git remote-ext` command
was always executed in its dashed form. Therefore, it was impossible to
pass the test suite unless that command existed in its dashed form, and
we had to special-case this.
Later, when the `vcxproj` target got out of fashion because Visual
Studio gained native support for CMake builds, this special-casing was
copied without questioning it.
But as of 675df192c5 (transport-helper: do not run git-remote-ext etc.

longer exists. So let's just drop it.

In ccfba9e0c4 (Makefile: use "generate-perl.sh" to massage Perl

shell script to transform the files) was replaced by the same
`generate-perl.sh` invocation as for the Makefile-based build.
The only difference is that now the transformation tries to handle the
Perl modules in-place (which ends up in empty files because the same
file is used as input and output via stdin/stdout redirection), and the
Perl script cannot find them anymore because they are not in the
expected place.

hard-code the directory where it expects to find the merge tools to

It used to be the case that initializing the minimal SDK (i.e. a
radically slimmed-down subset of Git for Windows' development
environment intended to perform the CI builds and little else) took
a bit over one minute, would then be cached, and subsequent jobs would
take at most half a dozen seconds to initialize said minimal SDK.
It is important that this step is fast because we have to run the test
suite in parallel, in a set of matrix jobs, to offset the slowness of
the shell-based test suite, and each and every job has to initialize the
very same minimal SDK.
While it may sound as if parallelizing the jobs might only waste the
generously-provided build minutes but at least the _wallclock_ time
would pass quick, in reality it matters a lot: Frequently Git for
Windows' or GitGitGadget PRs get stuck waiting for quite a while before
CI builds start because other PRs' builds still spend substantial
amounts of time to run, blocking due to the concurrency limit being
reached.
Since 91839a8827 (ci: create script to set up Git for Windows SDK,
2024-10-09), the situation has worsened: every job that requires the
minimal Git for Windows SDK spends roughly two-and-a-half minutes doing
so.
With the switch away from the GitHub Action `setup-git-for-windows-sdk`,
we incurred more downsides:
- It is no longer possible for said Action to fix problems independently
from the Git repository, e.g. when new rules about GitHub Actions
require changes in the way the minimal SDK is initialized.
- The minimal SDK was installed specifically outside of the worktree so
as not to clutter it nor incur an additional cost to verify that the
worktree is clean.
Therefore, even if it would be nice to have a shared process between
GitHub and GitLab based CI builds, let's switch the GitHub-based CI back
to the tried-and-tested `setup-git-for-windows-sdk` Action.
This commit partially reverts 91839a8827 (ci: create script to set up

The `git log` command already offers support for including diffs for
merges, via the `--diff-merges=<format>` option.
Let's add corresponding support for `git range-diff`, too. This makes it
more convenient to spot differences between commit ranges that contain
merges.
This is especially true in scenarios with non-trivial merges, i.e.
merges introducing changes other than, or in addition to, what merge ORT
would have produced. Merging a topic branch that changes a function
signature into a branch that added a caller of that function, for
example, would require the merge commit itself to adjust that caller to
the modified signature.
In my code reviews, I found the `--diff-merges=remerge` option
particularly useful.

* bf/explicit-config-set-in-advice-messages:
advice: suggest using subcommand "git config set"
"git tag" has been taught to refuse to create refs/tags/HEAD
as such a tag will be confusing in the context of UI provided by
the Git Porcelain commands.
* jc/forbid-head-as-tagname:
tag: "git tag" refuses to use HEAD as a tagname
t5604: do not expect that HEAD can be a valid tagname
refs: drop strbuf_ prefix from helpers
refs: move ref name helpers around
