Add a `--revert <branch>` mode to git replay that undoes the changes
introduced by the specified commits. Like --onto and --advance, --revert
is a standalone mode: it takes a branch argument and updates that branch
with the newly created revert commits.
At GitLab, we need this in Gitaly for reverting commits directly on bare
repositories without requiring a working tree checkout.
The approach is the same as sequencer.c's do_pick_commit() -- cherry-pick
and revert are just the same three-way merge with swapped arguments:
- Cherry-pick: merge(ancestor=parent, ours=current, theirs=commit)
- Revert: merge(ancestor=commit, ours=current, theirs=parent)
We swap the base and pickme trees passed to merge_incore_nonrecursive()
to reverse the diff direction.
Revert commit messages follow the usual git revert conventions: prefixed
with "Revert" (or "Reapply" when reverting a revert), and including
"This reverts commit <hash>.". The author is set to the current user
rather than preserving the original author, matching git revert behavior.

The logic for formatting revert commit messages (handling "Revert" and
"Reapply" cases) is currently duplicated between sequencer.c and will be
needed by builtin/replay.c.
Extract this logic into a new sequencer_format_revert_header() function
that can be shared. The function handles both regular reverts ("Revert
"<subject>"") and revert-of-revert cases ("Reapply "<subject>"").
When an oid is provided, the function appends the full commit hash and
period; otherwise the caller should append the commit reference.
Update do_pick_commit() to use the new helper, eliminating code
duplication while preserving the special handling for commit_use_reference.

The setup phase in 't/perf/p3400-rebase.sh' generates 100 commits to
simulate a noisy history. It currently uses a shell loop that invokes
'git add', 'git commit', 'test_seq', and 'sort' in each iteration.
This incurs significant overhead due to repeated process spawning.
Optimize the setup by using 'git fast-import' to generate the commit
history. Additionally, pre-compute the forward and reversed file contents
to avoid repetitive execution of 'seq' and 'sort'.
To ensure the test measures rebase performance against a consistent
object layout (rather than the suboptimal pack/loose objects created
by the raw import), perform a full repack (`git repack -a -d`) at the
end of the setup.
This reduces the setup time significantly while maintaining the validity
of the subsequent performance tests.
Performance enhancement (Average value of 5 tests):

Many callsites of string_list_remove_duplicates() call it
immdediately after calling string_list_sort(), understandably
as the former requires string-list to be sorted, it is clear
that these places are sorting only to remove duplicates and
for no other reason.
Introduce a helper function string_list_sort_u that combines
these two calls that often appear together, to simplify
these callsites. Replace the current calls of those methods with
string_list_sort_u().

Unit tests in u-string-list.c does not cover several methods
in string-list, this gap in coverage makes it difficult to

unsorted_string_list_has_string()
unsorted_string_list_delete_item()
string_list_has_string()
string_list_insert()

Replace mixed usage of standard (ASCII) colons ':' with full-width
(wide) colons '：' in Chinese translations to ensure typographic
consistency, as reported by CAESIUS-TIM [1].
Full-width punctuation is preferred in Chinese localization for better

The --expire option for "git worktree list" and "git worktree prune"
only affects worktrees whose working directory path no longer exists.
The help text did not make this clear, and the documentation
inconsistently used "unused" for prune but "missing" for list.
Update the help text and documentation to consistently describe these
as "missing worktrees", and use "prune" instead of "expire" when
describing the effect on missing worktrees since the terminology is
clearer.
While at it, expand the description of the "prune" subcommand itself
to better explain what it does and when to use it, as suggested by
Junio.

In Git 2.50 and earlier, we would display failure codes and error
message as part of the status display:
$ git fetch . v1.0.0:refs/heads/foo
error: cannot update ref 'refs/heads/foo': trying to write non-commit object f665776185 to branch 'refs/heads/foo'
From .
! [new tag] v1.0.0 -> foo (unable to update local ref)
With the addition of batched updates, this information is no longer
shown to the user:
$ git fetch . v1.0.0:refs/heads/foo
From .
* [new tag] v1.0.0 -> foo
error: cannot update ref 'refs/heads/foo': trying to write non-commit object f665776185 to branch 'refs/heads/foo'
Since reference updates are batched and processed together at the end,
information around the outcome is not available during individual
reference parsing.
To overcome this, collate and delay the output to the end. Introduce
`ref_update_display_info` which will hold individual update's
information and also whether the update failed or succeeded. This
finally allows us to iterate over all such updates and print them to the
user.
Using an dynamic array and strmap does add some overhead to
'git-fetch(1)', but from benchmarking this seems to be not too bad:
Benchmark 1: fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = master)
Time (mean ± σ): 42.6 ms ± 1.2 ms [User: 13.1 ms, System: 29.8 ms]
Range (min … max): 40.1 ms … 45.8 ms 47 runs
Benchmark 2: fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 43.1 ms ± 1.2 ms [User: 12.7 ms, System: 30.7 ms]
Range (min … max): 40.5 ms … 45.8 ms 48 runs
Summary
fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = master) ran
1.01 ± 0.04 times faster than fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 1000, revision = HEAD)
Another approach would be to move the status printing logic to be
handled post the transaction being committed. That however would require
adding an iterator to the ref transaction that tracks both the outcome
(success/failure) and the original refspec information for each update,
which is more involved infrastructure work compared to the strmap
approach here.
