Before we were silently skipping all builtins that don't have a matching
.adoc file. This is overly loose and might skip documentation files
when it shouldn't, for example when there was a typo in the filename.
To ensure no new builtins are added without documentation, add an
allowlist: t0450/adoc-missing. In this file only builtin commands that
do *not* have a corresponding .adoc file shall be listed. If there is a
mismatch, fail the test. This should force future contributions to
either add an .adoc, or add the builtin name to the allowlist file.

Add a test script, `t/t1462-refs-exists.sh`, for the `git refs exists`
command.
This script acts as a simple driver, leveraging the shared test library
created in the preceding commit. It works by overriding the
`$git_show_ref_exists` variable to "git refs exists" and then sourcing the
shared library (`t/show-ref-exists-tests.sh`).
This approach ensures that `git refs exists` is tested against the
entire comprehensive test suite of `git show-ref --exists`, verifying
that it acts as a compatible drop-in replacement.

When running 'git ls-files' with a pathspec, the index entries get
filtered according to that pathspec before iterating over them in
show_files(). In 78087097b8 (ls-files: add --sparse option,
2021-12-22), this iteration was prefixed with a check for the '--sparse'
option which allows the command to output directory entries; this
created a pre-loop call to ensure_full_index().
However, when a user runs 'git ls-files' where the pathspec matches
directories that are recursively matched in the sparse-checkout, there
are not any sparse directories that match the pathspec so they would not
be written to the output. The expansion in this case is just a
performance drop for no behavior difference.
Replace this global check to expand the index with a check inside the
loop for a matched sparse directory. If we see one, then expand the
index and continue from the current location. This is safe since the
previous entries in the index did not have any sparse directories and
thus would remain stable in this expansion.
A test in t1092 confirms that this changes the behavior.

Users reported an issue where objects were missing from their local
repositories after a full repack using 'git repack -adf --path-walk'.
This was alarming and took a while to create a reproducer. Here, we fix
the bug and include a test case that would fail without this fix.
The root cause is that certain objects existed in the index and had no
second versions. These objects are usually blobs, though trees can be
included if a cache-tree exists. The issue is that the revision walk
adds these objects to the "pending" list and the path-walk API forgets
to mark the lists it creates at this point as "maybe_interesting". If
these paths only ever have a single version in the history of the repo
(including the current staged version) then the parent directory never
tries to add a new object to the list and mark the list as
"maybe_interesting". Thus, when walking the list later, the group is
skipped as it is expected that no objects are interesting. This happens
even when there are actually no UNINTERESTING objects at all! This is
based on the optimization enabled by the pack.useSparse=true config
option, which is the default.
Thus, we create a test case that demonstrates the many cases of this
issue for reproducibility:
1. File a/b/c has only one committed version.
2. Files a/i and x/y only exist as staged changes.
3. Tree x/ only exists in the cache-tree.
After performing a non-path-walk repack to force all loose objects into
packfiles, run a --path-walk repack followed by 'git fsck'. This fsck is
what fails with the following errors:
error: invalid object 100644 f2e41136... for 'a/b/c'
This is the dropped instance of the single-versioned a/b/c file.
broken link from tree cfda31d8...
to tree 3f725fcd...
This is the missing tree for the single-versioned a/b/ directory.
missing blob 0ddf2bae... (a/i)
missing blob 975fbec8... (x/y)
missing blob a60d869d... (file)
missing blob f2e41136... (a/b/c)
missing tree 3f725fcd... (a/b/)
dangling tree 5896d7e... (staged root tree)
Note that since the staged root tree is missing, the fsck output cannot
even report that the staged x/ tree is missing as well.
The core problem here is that the "maybe_interesting" member of 'struct
type_and_oid_list' is not initialized to '1'. This member was added in
6333e7ae0b (path-walk: mark trees and blobs as UNINTERESTING,
2024-12-20) in a way to help when creating packfiles for a small commit
range using the sparse path algorithm (enabled by pack.useSparse=true).
The idea here is that the list is marked as "maybe_interesting" if an
object is added that does not have the UNINTERESTING flag on it. Later,
this is checked again in case all objects in the list were marked
UNINTERESTING after that point in time. In this case, the algorithm
skips the list as there is no reason to visit it.
This leads to the problem where the "maybe_interesting" member was not
appropriately initialized when the list is created from pending objects.
Initializing this in the correct places fixes the bug.
To reduce risk of similar bugs around initializing this structure, a
follow-up change will make initializing lists use a shared method.

When describing a blob, we traverse from HEAD, remembering each commit
we saw, and then checking each blob to report the containing commit.
But if we haven't seen any commits at all, we'll segfault (we store the
"current" commit as an oid initialized to the null oid, causing
lookup_commit_reference() to return NULL).
This shouldn't be able to happen normally. We always start our traversal
at HEAD, which must be a commit (a property which is enforced by the
refs code). But you can trigger the segfault like this:
blob=$(echo foo | git hash-object -w --stdin)
echo $blob >.git/HEAD
git describe $blob
We can instead catch this case and return an empty result, which hits
the usual "we didn't find $blob while traversing HEAD" error.
This is a minor lie in that we did "find" the blob. And this even hints
at a bigger problem in this code: what if the traversal pointed to the
blob as _not_ part of a commit at all, but we had previously filled in
the recorded "current commit"? One could imagine this happening due to a
tag pointing directly to the blob in question.
But that can't happen, because we only traverse from HEAD, never from
any other refs. And the intent of the blob-describing code is to find
blobs within commits.
So I think this matches the original intent as closely as we can (and
again, this segfault cannot be triggered without corrupting your
repository!).
The test here does not use the formula above, which works only for the
files backend (and not reftables). Instead we use another loophole to
create the bogus state using only Git commands. See the comment in the
test for details.

When given an expected "before" state, the ref-writing code will avoid
overwriting any ref that does not match that expected state. We use the
null oid as a sentinel value for "nothing should exist", and likewise
that is the sentinel value we get when trying to read a ref that does
not exist.
But there's one corner case where this is ambiguous: dangling symrefs.
Trying to read them will yield the null oid, but there is potentially
something of value there: the dangling symref itself.
For a normal recursive write, this is OK. Imagine we have a symref
"FOO_HEAD" that points to a ref "refs/heads/bar" that does not exist,
and we try to write to it with a create operation like:
oid=$(git rev-parse HEAD) ;# or whatever
git symbolic-ref FOO_HEAD refs/heads/bar
echo "create FOO_HEAD $oid" | git update-ref --stdin
The attempt to resolve FOO_HEAD will actually resolve "bar", yielding
the null oid. That matches our expectation, and the write proceeds. This
is correct, because we are not writing FOO_HEAD at all, but writing its
destination "bar", which in fact does not exist.
But what if the operation asked not to dereference symrefs? Like this:
echo "create FOO_HEAD $oid" | git update-ref --no-deref --stdin
Resolving FOO_HEAD would still result in a null oid, and the write will
proceed. But it will overwrite FOO_HEAD itself, removing the fact that
it ever pointed to "bar".
This case is a little esoteric; we are clobbering a symref with a
no-deref write of a regular ref value. But the same problem occurs when
writing symrefs. For example:
echo "symref-create FOO_HEAD refs/heads/other" |
git update-ref --no-deref --stdin
The "create" operation asked us to create FOO_HEAD only if it did not
exist. But we silently overwrite the existing value.
You can trigger this without using update-ref via the fetch
followRemoteHEAD code. In "create" mode, it should not overwrite an
existing value. But if you manually create a symref pointing to a value
that does not yet exist (either via symbolic-ref or with "remote add
-m"), create mode will happily overwrite it.
Instead, we should detect this case and refuse to write. The correct
specification to overwrite FOO_HEAD in this case is to provide an
expected target ref value, like:
echo "symref-update FOO_HEAD refs/heads/other ref refs/heads/bar" |
git update-ref --no-deref --stdin
Note that the non-symref "update" directive does not allow you to do
this (you can only specify an oid). This is a weakness in the update-ref
interface, and you'd have to overwrite unconditionally, like:
echo "update FOO_HEAD $oid" | git update-ref --no-deref --stdin
Likewise other symref operations like symref-delete do not accept the
"ref" keyword. You should be able to do:
echo "symref-delete FOO_HEAD ref refs/heads/bar"
but cannot (and can only delete unconditionally). This patch doesn't
address those gaps. We may want to do so in a future patch for
completeness, but it's not clear if anybody actually wants to perform
those operations. The symref update case (specifically, via
followRemoteHEAD) is what I ran into in the wild.
The code for the fix is relatively straight-forward given the discussion
above. But note that we have to implement it independently for the files
and reftable backends. The "old oid" checks happen as part of the
locking process, which is implemented separately for each system. We may
want to factor this out somehow, but it's beyond the scope of this
patch. (Another curiosity is that the messages in the reftable code are
marked for translation, but the ones in the files backend are not. I
followed local convention in each case, but we may want to harmonize
this at some point).

These tests set config within a sub-repo using (cd two && git config),
and then a separate test_when_finished outside the subshell to clean it
up. We can't use test_config to do this, because the cleanup command it
registers inside the subshell would be lost. Nor can we do it before
entering the subshell, because the config has to be set after some other
commands are run.

Several tests in t5510 do a bare "cd subrepo", not in a subshell. This
changes the working directory for subsequent tests. As a result, almost
every test has to start with "cd $D" to go back to the top-level.
Our usual style is to do per-test environment changes like this in a
subshell, so that tests can assume they are starting at the top-level
$TRASH_DIRECTORY.
Let's switch to that style, which lets us drop all of that extra
path-handling.
Most cases can switch to using a subshell, but in a few spots we can
simplify by doing "git init foo && git -C foo ...". We do have to make
sure that we weren't intentionally touching the environment in any code
which was moved into a subshell (e.g., with a test_when_finished), but
that isn't the case for any of these tests.
All of the references to the $D variable can go away, replaced generally
with $PWD or $TRASH_DIRECTORY (if we use it inside a chdir'd subshell).
Note in one test, "fetch --prune prints the remotes url", we make sure
to use $(pwd) to get the Windows-style path on that platform (for the
other tests, the exact form doesn't matter).

Several tests set a config variable in a sub-repo we chdir into via a
subshell, like this:
(
cd "$D" &&
cd two &&
git config foo.bar baz
)
But they also clean up the variable with a when_finished directive
outside of the subshell, like this:
test_when_finished "git config unset foo.bar"
At first glance, this shouldn't work! The cleanup clause cannot be run
from the subshell (since environment changes there are lost by the time
the test snippet finishes). But since the cleanup command runs outside
the subshell, our working directory will not have been switched into
"two".
But it does work. Why?
The answer is that an earlier test does a "cd two" that moves the whole
test's working directory out of $TRASH_DIRECTORY and into "two". So the
subshell is a bit of a red herring; we are already in the right
directory! That's why we need the "cd $D" at the top of the shell, to
put us back to a known spot.
Let's make this cleanup code more explicitly specify where we expect the
config command to run. That makes the script more robust against running
a subset of the tests, and ultimately will make it easier to refactor
the script to avoid these top-level chdirs.

When describing a blob, we search for it by traversing from HEAD. We do
this by feeding the name HEAD to setup_revisions(). But if we are on an

fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
It is OK for this to be an error (we cannot find $blob in an empty
traversal, so we'd eventually complain about that). But the error
message could be more helpful.

machines. Some other Git commands also have two output formats, notably
git-config which was the inspiration for the two formats that were
chosen here:
- keyvalue, where the retrieved data is printed one per line, using =
for delimiting the key and the value. This is the default format,
targeted for end users.
- nul, where the retrieved data is separated by NUL characters, using
the newline character for delimiting the key and the value. This
format is targeted for being read by machines.

This commit is part of the series that introduces the new subcommand
git-repo-info.
The flag `--is-shallow-repository` from git-rev-parse is used for
retrieving whether the repository is shallow. This way, it is used for
querying repository metadata, fitting in the purpose of git-repo-info.
Then, add a new field `layout.shallow` to the git-repo-info subcommand
containing that information.

This commit is part of the series that introduces the new subcommand
git-repo-info.
The flag --is-bare-repository from git-rev-parse is used for retrieving
whether the current repository is bare. This way, it is used for
querying repository metadata, fitting in the purpose of git-repo-info.
Then, add a new field layout.bare to the git-repo-info subcommand
containing that information.

This commit is part of the series that introduces the new subcommand
git-repo-info.
The flag `--show-ref-format` from git-rev-parse is used for retrieving
the reference format (i.e. `files` or `reftable`). This way, it is
used for querying repository metadata, fitting in the purpose of
git-repo-info.
Add a new field `references.format` to the repo-info subcommand
containing that information.
