When a series of patches for a topic-B depends on having topic-A,
the workflow to prepare the topic-B branch would look like this:
$ git checkout -b topic-B main
$ git merge --no-ff --no-edit topic-A
$ git am <mbox-for-topic-B
When topic-A gets updated, recreating the first merge and rebasing
the rest of the topic-B, all on detached HEAD, is a useful
technique. After updating topic-A with its new round of patches:
$ git checkout topic-B
$ prev=$(git rev-parse 'HEAD^{/^Merge branch .topic-A. into}')
$ git checkout --detach $prev^1
$ git merge --no-ff --no-edit topic-A
$ git rebase --onto HEAD $prev @{-1}^0
$ git checkout -B @{-1}
This will
(0) check out the current topic-B.
(1) find the previous merge of topic-A into topic-B.
(2) detach the HEAD to the parent of the previous merge.
(3) merge the updated topic-A to it.
(4) reapply the patches to rebuild the rest of topic-B.
(5) update topic-B with the result.
without contaminating the reflog of topic-B too much. topic-B@{1}
is the "logically previous" state before topic-A got updated, for
example. At (4), comparison (e.g. range-diff) between HEAD and
@{-1} is a meaningful way to sanity check the result, and the same
can be done at (5) by comparing topic-B and topic-B@{1}.
But there is one glitch. The merge into the detached HEAD done in
the step (3) above gives us "Merge branch 'topic-A' into HEAD", and
does not say "into topic-B".
Teach the "--into-name=<branch>" option to "git merge" and its
underlying "git fmt-merge-message", to pretend as if we were merging
into <branch>, no matter what branch we are actually merging into,
when they prepare the merge message. The pretend name honors the
usual "into <target>" suppression mechanism, which can be seen in
the tests added here.

While testing some ideas in 'git repack', I ran it with '--quiet' and
discovered that some progress output was still shown. Specifically, the
output for writing the multi-pack-index showed the progress.
The 'show_progress' variable in cmd_repack() is initialized with
isatty(2) and is not modified at all by the '--quiet' flag. The
'--quiet' flag modifies the po_args.quiet option which is translated
into a '--quiet' flag for the 'git pack-objects' child process. However,
'show_progress' is used to directly send progress information to the
multi-pack-index writing logic which does not use a child process.
The fix here is to modify 'show_progress' to be false if po_opts.quiet
is true, and isatty(2) otherwise. This new expectation simplifies a
later condition that checks both.
Update the documentation to make it clear that '-q' will disable all
progress in addition to ensuring the 'git pack-objects' child process
will receive the flag.
Use 'test_terminal' to check that this works to get around the isatty(2)
check.

Historically, we needed a single packfile in order to have reachability
bitmaps. This introduced logic that when 'git repack' had a '-b' option
that we should stop sending the '--honor-pack-keep' option to the 'git
pack-objects' child process, ensuring that we create a packfile
containing all reachable objects.
In the world of multi-pack-index bitmaps, we no longer need to repack
all objects into a single pack to have valid bitmaps. Thus, we should
continue sending the '--honor-pack-keep' flag to 'git pack-objects'.
The fix is very simple: only disable the flag when writing bitmaps but
also _not_ writing the multi-pack-index.
This opens the door to new repacking strategies that might want to keep
some historical set of objects in a stable pack-file while only
repacking more recent objects.
To test, create a new 'test_subcommand_inexact' helper that is more
flexible than 'test_subcommand'. This allows us to look for the
--honor-pack-keep flag without over-indexing on the exact set of
arguments.

The option --invert-grep is documented to filter out commits whose

header matches (--author, --committer), which is not intended.
Move the handling of that option to grep.c, as only the code there can
distinguish between matches in the header from those in the message
body. If --invert-grep is given then enable extended expressions (not
the regex type, we just need git grep's --not to work), negate the body
patterns and check if any of them match by piggy-backing on the
collect_hits mechanism of grep_source_1().
Collecting the matches in struct grep_opt is a bit iffy, but with
"last_shown" we have a precedent for writing state information to that
struct.

RCS keywords are strings that are replaced with information from
Perforce. Examples include $Date$, $Author$, $File$, $Change$ etc.
Perforce resolves these by expanding them with their expanded values
when files are synced, but Git's data model requires these expanded
values to be converted back into their unexpanded form.
Previously, git-p4.py would implement this behaviour through the use of
regular expressions. However, the regular expression substitution was
applied using decoded strings i.e. the content of incoming commit diffs
was first decoded from bytes into UTF-8, processed with regular
expressions, then converted back to bytes.
Not only is this behaviour inefficient, but it is also a cause of a
common issue caused by text files containing invalid UTF-8 data. For
files created in Windows, CP1252 Smart Quote Characters (0x93 and 0x94)
are seen fairly frequently. These codes are invalid in UTF-8, so if the
script encountered any file containing them, on Python 2 the symbols
will be corrupted, and on Python 3 the script will fail with an
exception.
This patch replaces this decoding/encoding with bytes object regular
expressions, so that the substitution is performed directly upon the
source data with no conversions.
A test for smart quote handling has been added to the
t9810-git-p4-rcs.sh test suite.

When in cone mode sparse-checkout, it is unclear how 'git

sparse-checkout file does not match the cone mode patterns. Change the
behavior to fail with an error message about the existing patterns.
Also, all cone mode patterns start with a '/' character, so add that
restriction. This is necessary for our example test 'cone mode: warn on
bad pattern', but also requires modifying the example sparse-checkout
file we use to test the warnings related to recognizing cone mode
patterns.
This error checking would cause a failure further down the test script
because of a test that adds non-cone mode patterns without cleaning them
up. Perform that cleanup as part of the test now.

Then core.sparseCheckoutCone is enabled, the sparse-checkout patterns are
used to populate two hashsets that accelerate pattern matching. If the user
modifies the sparse-checkout file outside of the 'sparse-checkout' builtin,
then strange patterns can happen, triggering some error checks.
One of these error checks is possible to hit when some special characters
exist in a line. A warning message is correctly written to stderr, but then
there is additional logic that attempts to remove the line from the hashset
and free the data. This leads to a segfault in the 'git sparse-checkout
list' command because it iterates over the contents of the hashset, which is
now invalid.
The fix here is to stop trying to remove from the hashset. In addition,
we disable cone mode sparse-checkout because of the malformed data. This
results in the pattern-matching working with a possibly-slower
algorithm, but using the patterns as they are in the sparse-checkout
file.
This also changes the behavior of commands such as 'git sparse-checkout
list' because the output patterns will be the contents of the
sparse-checkout file instead of the list of directories. This is an
existing behavior for other types of bad patterns.
Add a test that triggers the segfault without the code change.

Because `sed` is line-oriented, for ease of implementation, when
chainlint.sed encounters an opening subshell in which the first command
is cuddled with the "(", it splits the line into two lines: one
containing only "(", and the other containing whatever follows "(".
This allows chainlint.sed to get by with a single set of regular
expressions for matching shell statements rather than having to
duplicate each expression (one set for matching non-cuddled statements,
and one set for matching cuddled statements).
However, although syntactically and semantically immaterial, this
transformation has no value to test authors and might even confuse them
into thinking that the linter is misbehaving by inserting (whitespace)
line-noise into the shell code it is validating. Moreover, it also
allows an implementation detail of chainlint.sed to seep into the
chainlint self-test "expect" files, which potentially makes it difficult
to reuse the self-tests should a more capable chainlint ever be
developed.
To address these concerns, stop splitting cuddled "(..." into two lines.
Note that, as an implementation artifact, due to sed's line-oriented
nature, this change inserts a blank line at output time just before the
"(..." line is emitted. It would be possible to suppress this blank line
but doing so would add a fair bit of complexity to chainlint.sed.
Therefore, rather than suppressing the extra blank line, the Makefile's
`check-chainlint` target which runs the chainlint self-tests is instead
modified to ignore blank lines when comparing chainlint output against
the self-test "expect" output. This is a reasonable compromise for two
reasons. First, the purpose of the chainlint self-tests is to verify
that the ?!AMP?! annotations are being correctly added; precise
whitespace is immaterial. Second, by necessity, chainlint.sed itself
already throws away all blank lines within subshells since, when
checking for a broken &&-chain, it needs to check the final _statement_
in a subshell, not the final _line_ (which might be blank), thus it has
never made any attempt to precisely reproduce blank lines in its output.

When checking for broken a &&-chain, chainlint.sed knows that the final
statement in a subshell should not end with `&&`, so it takes care to
make a distinction between the final line which is an actual statement
and any lines which may be mere comments preceding the closing ')'. As
such, it swallows comment lines so that they do not interfere with the
&&-chain check.
However, since `sed` does not provide any sort of real recursion,
chainlint.sed only checks &&-chains in subshells one level deep; it
doesn't do any checking in deeper subshells or in `{...}` blocks within
subshells. Furthermore, on account of potential implementation
complexity, it doesn't check &&-chains within `case` arms.
Due to an oversight, it also doesn't swallow comments inside deep
subshells, `{...}` blocks, or `case` statements, which makes its output
inconsistent (swallowing comments in some cases but not others).
Unfortunately, this inconsistency seeps into the chainlint self-test
"expect" files, which potentially makes it difficult to reuse the
self-tests should a more capable chainlint ever be developed. Therefore,
teach chainlint.sed to consistently swallow comments in all cases.

The purpose of chainlint is to highlight problems it finds in test code
by inserting annotations at the location of each problem. Arbitrarily
eliding bits of the code it is checking is not helpful, yet this is
exactly what chainlint.sed does by cavalierly and unnecessarily dropping
the here-doc operator and tag; i.e. `cat <<TAG` becomes simply `cat` in
the output. This behavior can make it more difficult for the test writer
to align the annotated output of chainlint.sed with the original test

echo "<<<<<<< ours" &&

echo "=======" &&
echo theirside &&
echo ">>>>>>> theirs"
This problem went unnoticed because chainlint.sed is not a real parser,
but rather applies heuristics to pretend to understand shell code. In
this case, it saw what it thought was a here-doc operator (`<< ours`),
and fell off the end of the test looking for the closing tag "ours"
which it never found, thus swallowed the remainder of the test without

>From inception, when chainlint.sed encountered a line using semicolon to
separate commands rather than `&&`, it would insert a ?!SEMI?!
annotation at the beginning of the line rather ?!AMP?! even though the
&&-chain is also broken by the semicolon. Given a line such as:
?!SEMI?! cmd1; cmd2 &&
the ?!SEMI?! annotation makes it easier to see what the problem is than
if the output had been:
?!AMP?! cmd1; cmd2 &&
which might confuse the test author into thinking that the linter is
broken (since the line clearly ends with `&&`).
However, now that the ?!AMP?! an ?!SEMI?! annotations are inserted at
the point of breakage rather than at the beginning of the line, and
taking into account that both represent a broken &&-chain, there is
little reason to distinguish between the two. Using ?!AMP?! alone is
sufficient to point the test author at the problem. For instance, in:
cmd1; ?!AMP?! cmd2 &&
cmd3
it is clear that the &&-chain is broken between `cmd1` and `cmd2`.
Likewise, in:
cmd1 && cmd2 ?!AMP?!
cmd3
it is clear that the &&-chain is broken between `cmd2` and `cmd3`.
Finally, in:
cmd1; ?!AMP?! cmd2 ?!AMP?!
cmd3
it is clear that the &&-chain is broken between each command.
Hence, there is no longer a good reason to make a distinction between a
broken &&-chain due to a semicolon and a broken chain due to a missing
`&&` at end-of-line. Therefore, drop the ?!SEMI?! annotation and use
?!AMP?! exclusively.

The purpose of chainlint.sed is to detect &&-chain breakage only within
subshells (one level deep); it doesn't bother checking for top-level
&&-chain breakage since the &&-chain checker built into t/test-lib.sh
should detect broken &&-chains outside of subshells by making them
magically exit with code 117. However, this division of labor may not
always be the case if a more capable chainlint implementation is ever
developed. Beyond that, due to being sed-based and due to its use of
heuristics, chainlint.sed has several limitations (such as being unable
to detect &&-chain breakage in subshells more than one level deep since
it only manually emulates recursion into a subshell).
Some of the comments in the chainlint self-tests unnecessarily reflect
the limitations of chainlint.sed even though those limitations are not
what is being tested. Therefore, simplify and generalize the comments to
explain only what is being tested, thus ensuring that they won't become
outdated if a more capable chainlint is ever developed.

The chainlint self-test code snippets are supposed to represent the body
of a test_expect_success() or test_expect_failure(), yet the contents of
a few tests would have caused the shell to report syntax errors had they
been real test bodies due to the mix of single- and double-quotes.
Although chainlint.sed, with its simplistic heuristics, is blind to this
problem, a future more robust chainlint implementation might not have
such a limitation. Therefore, stop mixing quote types haphazardly in
those tests and unify quoting throughout. While at it, drop chunks of
tests which merely repeat what is already tested elsewhere but with
alternative quotes.

Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected
and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a
contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when
the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last
command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command
which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within
loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

Rather than manually looping over a set of items and plugging those
items into a template string which is printed repeatedly, achieve the
same effect by taking advantage of `printf` which loops over its
arguments automatically.

Rather than maintaining a flag indicating a failure within a loop and
aborting the test when the loop ends if the flag is set, modern practice
is to signal the failure immediately by exiting the loop early via
`return 1` (or `exit 1` if inside a subshell). Simplify these loops by
following the modern idiom.
