a06a725c78 oidmap: make entry cleanup explicit in oidmap_clear
Replace oidmap's use of hashmap_clear_() and layout-dependent freeing
with an explicit iteration and optional free callback. This removes
reliance on struct layout assumptions while keeping the existing API
intact.

Add tests for oidmap_clear_with_free behavior.
test_oidmap__clear_with_free_callback verifies that entries are freed
when a callback is provided, while
test_oidmap__clear_without_free_callback verifies that entries are not
freed when no callback is given. These tests ensure the new clear
implementation behaves correctly and preserves ownership semantics.

81769b8150 fsmonitor: add tests for Linux
Add a smoke test that verifies the filesystem actually delivers
inotify events to the daemon.  On some configurations (e.g.,
overlayfs with older kernels), inotify watches succeed but events
are never delivered.  The daemon cookie wait will time out, but
every subsequent test would fail.  Skip the entire test file early
when this is detected.

Add a test that exercises rapid nested directory creation to verify
the daemon correctly handles the EEXIST race between recursive scan
and queued inotify events.  When IN_MASK_CREATE is available and a
directory watch is added during recursive registration, the kernel
may also deliver a queued IN_CREATE event for the same directory.
The second inotify_add_watch() returns EEXIST, which must be treated
as harmless.  An earlier version of the listener crashed in this
scenario.

Reduce --start-timeout from the default 60 seconds to 10 seconds so
that tests fail promptly when the daemon cannot start.

Harden the test helpers to work in environments without procps
(e.g., Fedora CI): fall back to reading /proc/$pid/stat for the
process group ID when ps is unavailable, guard stop_git() against
an empty pgid, and redirect stderr from kill to /dev/null to avoid
noise when processes have already exited.

Use set -m to enable job control in the submodule-pull test so that
the background git pull gets its own process group, preventing the
shell wait from blocking on the daemon.  setsid() in the previous
commit detaches the daemon itself, but the intermediate git pull
process still needs its own process group for the test shell to
manage it correctly.

087cc88450 promisor-remote: prevent lazy-fetch recursion in child fetch
fetch_objects() spawns a child `git fetch` to lazily fill in missing
objects. That child's index-pack, when it receives a thin pack
containing a REF_DELTA against a still-missing base, explicitly
calls promisor_remote_get_direct() — which is fetch_objects() again.
If the base is truly unavailable (e.g. because many refs in the
local store point at objects that have been garbage-collected on the
server), each recursive lazy-fetch can trigger another, leading to
unbounded recursion with runaway disk and process consumption.

The GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH guard (introduced by e6d5479e7a (git: add
--no-lazy-fetch option, 2021-08-31)) already exists at the top of
fetch_objects(); the missing piece is propagating it into the child
fetch's environment. Add that propagation so the child's
index-pack, if it encounters a REF_DELTA against a missing base,
hits the guard and fails fast instead of recursing.

Depth-1 lazy fetch (the whole point of fetch_objects()) is
unaffected: only the child and its descendants see the variable.
With negotiationAlgorithm=noop the client advertises no "have"
lines, so a well-behaved server sends requested objects
un-deltified or deltified only against objects in the same pack;
the child's index-pack should never need a depth-2 fetch. If it
does, the server response was broken or the local store is already
corrupt, and further fetching would not help.

This is the same bug shape that 3a1ea94a49 (commit-graph.c: no lazy
fetch in lookup_commit_in_graph(), 2022-07-01) addressed at a
different entry point.

Add a test that verifies the child fetch environment contains
GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH=1 via a reference-transaction hook.

Replace 'grep' and '! grep' invocations with 'test_grep' and
'test_grep !'. This provides better debugging output if tests fail
in the future, as 'test_grep' will automatically print the
contents of the file when a check fails.

While at it, update any remaining instances of 'grep' to 'test_grep'
that were missed in the previous versions to ensure that the entire
file is consistent with modern project style.

fc2ead0053 t3700: avoid suppressing git's exit code
Replace pipelines involving git commands with temporary files (actual)
to ensure that any crashes or unexpected exit codes from the git
commands are properly caught by the test suite. A simple pipeline
like 'git foo | grep bar' ignores the exit code of 'git', which
can hide regressions.

In cases where we were counting lines with 'wc -l' to ensure a
pattern was absent, simplify the logic to use '! grep' to avoid
subshells entirely.

2ef539bcee for-each-repo: work correctly in a worktree
When run in a worktree, the GIT_DIR directory is set in a different way
than in a typical repository. Show this by updating t0068 to include a
worktree and add a test that runs from that worktree. This requires
moving the repo.key config into a global config instead of the base test
repository's local config (demonstrating that it worked with
non-worktree Git repositories).

We need to be careful to unset the local Git environment variables and
let the child process rediscover them, while also reinstating those
variables in the parent process afterwards. Update run_command_on_repo()
to use the new sanitize_repo_env() helper method to erase these
environment variables.

During review of this bug fix, there were several incorrect patches
demonstrating different bad behaviors. Most of these are covered by
tests, when it is not too expensive to set it up. One case that would be
expensive to set up is the GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS environment variable,
but we trust that using sanitize_repo_env() will be sufficient to
capture these uncovered cases by using the common code for resetting
environment variables.

c5e62e1aa0 for-each-repo: test outside of repo context
The 'git for-each-repo' tool is frequently run outside of a repo context
in the real world. For example, it powers background maintenance.
Despite this typical case, we have not been testing it without a local
repository.

Update t0068 to stop creating a test repo and to use global config
everywhere. This has some subtle changes to test across the file.

This was noticed because an earlier attempt to remove the_repository
from builtin/for-each-repo.c did not catch a segmentation fault since
the passed 'repo' is NULL. This use of the_repository will need to stay
until we have a better way to handle config queries outside of a repo
context. Similar use still exists in builtin/config.c for the same
reason.

e417277ae9 xdiff: re-diff shifted change groups when using histogram algorithm
After a diff algorithm has been run, the compaction phase
(xdl_change_compact()) shifts and merges change groups to produce a
cleaner output. However, this shifting could create a new matched group
where both sides now have matching lines. This results in a
wrong-looking diff output which contains redundant lines that are the
same on both files.

Fix this by detecting this situation, and re-diff the texts on each side
to find similar lines, using the fall-back Myer's diff. Only do this for
histogram diff as it's the only algorithm where this is relevant. Below
contains an example, and more details.

For an example, consider two files below:

    file1:
        A

        A
        A
        A

        A
        A
        A

    file2:
        A

        A
        x
        A

        A
        A
        A

When using Myer's diff, the algorithm finds that only the "x" has been
changed, and produces a final diff result (these are line diffs, but
using word-diff syntax for ease of presentation):

        A A[-A-]{+x+}A AAA

When using histogram diff, the algorithm first discovers the LCS "A
AAA", which it uses as anchor, then produces an intermediate diff:

        {+A Ax+}A AAA[- AAA-].

This is a longer diff than Myer's, but it's still self-consistent.
However, the compaction phase attempts to shift the first file's diff
group upwards (note that this shift crosses the anchor that histogram
had used), leading to the final results for histogram diff:

        [-A AA-]{+A Ax+}A AAA

This is a technically correct patch but looks clearly redundant to a
human as the first 3 lines should not be in the diff.

The fix would detect that a shift has caused matching to a new group,
and re-diff the "A AA" and "A Ax" parts, which results in "A A"
correctly re-marked as unchanged. This creates the now correct histogram
diff:

        A A[-A-]{+x+}A AAA

This issue is not applicable to Myer's diff algorithm as it already
generates a minimal diff, which means a shift cannot result in a smaller
diff output (the default Myer's diff in xdiff is not guaranteed to be
minimal for performance reasons, but it typically does a good enough
job).

It's also not applicable to patience diff, because it uses only unique
lines as anchor for its splits, and falls back to Myer's diff within
each split. Shifting requires both ends having the same lines, and
therefore cannot cross the unique line boundaries established by the
patience algorithm. In contrast histogram diff uses non-unique lines as
anchors, and therefore shifting can cross over them.

This issue is rare in a normal repository. Below is a table of
repositories (`git log --no-merges -p --histogram -1000`), showing how
many times a re-diff was done and how many times it resulted in finding
matching lines (therefore addressing this issue) with the fix. In
general it is fewer than 1% of diff's that exhibit this offending
behavior:

| Repo (1k commits)  | Re-diff | Found matching lines |
|--------------------|---------|----------------------|
| llvm-project       |  45     | 11                   |
| vim                | 110     |  9                   |
| git                |  18     |  2                   |
| WebKit             | 168     |  1                   |
| ripgrep            |  22     |  1                   |
| cpython            |  32     |  0                   |
| vscode             |  13     |  0                   |
