A long term (but rather minor) pet-peeve of mine was the name
ll-merge.[ch]. I thought it made it harder to realize what stuff was
related to merging when I was working on the merge machinery and trying
to improve it.
Further, back in d1cbe1e6d8 ("hash-ll.h: split out of hash.h to remove
dependency on repository.h", 2023-04-22), we have split the portions of
hash.h that do not depend upon repository.h into a "hash-ll.h" (due to
the recommendation to use "ll" for "low-level" in its name[1], but which
I used as a suffix precisely because of my distaste for "ll-merge").
When we discussed adding additional "*-ll.h" files, a request was made
that we use "ll" consistently as either a prefix or a suffix. Since it
is already in use as both a prefix and a suffix, the only way to do so
is to rename some files.
Besides my distaste for the ll-merge.[ch] name, let me also note that
the files
ll-fsmonitor.h, ll-hash.h, ll-merge.h, ll-object-store.h, ll-read-cache.h
would have essentially nothing to do with each other and make no sense
to group. But giving them the common "ll-" prefix would group them. Using
"-ll" as a suffix thus seems just much more logical to me. Rename
ll-merge.[ch] to merge-ll.[ch] to achieve this consistency, and to
ensure we get a more logical grouping of files.

The function add_files_to_cache() is used by all three of builtin/{add,
checkout, commit}.c. That suggests this is common library code, and
should be moved somewhere else, like read-cache.c. However, the
function and its helpers made use of two global variables that made
straight code movement difficult:
* the_index
* include_sparse
The latter was perhaps more problematic since it was only accessible in
builtin/add.c but was still affecting builtin/checkout.c and
builtin/commit.c without this fact being very clear from the code. I'm
not sure if the other two callers would want to add a `--sparse` flag
similar to add.c to get non-default behavior, but exposing this
dependence will help if we ever decide we do want to add such a flag.

This commit was prompted by a desire to move the functions which
builtin/init-db.c and builtin/clone.c share out of the former file and
into setup.c. One issue that made it difficult was the
init_is_bare_repository global variable.
init_is_bare_repository's sole use in life it to cache a value in
init_db(), and then be used in create_default_files(). This is a bit
odd since init_db() directly calls create_default_files(), and is the
only caller of that function. Convert the global to a simple function
parameter instead.
(Of course, this doesn't fix the fact that this value is then ignored by
create_default_files(), as noted in a big TODO comment in that function,
but it at least includes no behavioral change other than getting rid of
a very questionable global variable.)

The comments in create_default_files() talks about reading config from
the config file in the specified `--templates` directory, which leads to
the question of whether core.bare could be set in such a config file and
thus whether the code is doing the right thing. It turns out, that it
doesn't; it unconditionally ignores core.bare in the config file in any
--templates directory. It is not clear to me that fixing it can be done
within this function; it seems to occur too late:
* create_default_files() is called by init_db()
* init_db() is called by both builtin/{clone.c,init-db.c}
* both callers of init_db() call set_git_work_tree() before init_db()
and in order to actual affect whether a repository is bear, we'd need to
somewhere reset these values, not just the is_bare_repository_cfg
setting.
I do not want to open this can of worms at this time; I'm trying to
clean up some headers, for which I need to move some functions, for
which I need to clean up some globals, and that's far enough down the
rabbit hole. So, simply document the issue with a careful TODO comment
and a few testcases.

In 98e7ab6d42 (for-each-ref: delay parsing of --sort=<atom> options,

$ git branch --edit-description

To handle "--abbrev-ref" we use shorten_unambiguous_ref(). This
function takes a refname and returns a shortened refname, which is a
newly allocated string that needs to be freed.
Unfortunately, the refname variable is reused to receive the shortened
one. Therefore, we lose the original refname, which needs to be freed
as well, producing a leak.
This leak can be reviewed with:
$ for a in {1..10}; do git branch foo_${a}; done
$ git rev-parse --abbrev-ref refs/heads/foo_{1..10}

When git-commit sees any "--trailer" options, it passes the
COMMIT_EDITMSG file through git-interpret-trailers. But it does so
without passing --no-divider, which means that interpret-trailers will
look for a "---" divider to signal the end of the commit message.
That behavior doesn't make any sense in this context; we know we have a
complete and solitary commit message, not something we have to further
parse. And as a result, we'll do the wrong thing if the commit message
contains a "---" marker (which otherwise is not syntactically
significant), inserting any new trailers at the wrong spot.
We can fix this by passing --no-divider. This is the exact situation for
which it was added in 1688c9a489 (interpret-trailers: allow suppressing
"---" divider, 2018-08-22). As noted in the message for that commit, it
just adds the mechanism, and further patches were needed to trigger it
from various callers. We did that back then in a few spots, like
ffce7f590f (sequencer: ignore "---" divider when parsing trailers,

`credential reject` sends the erase action to each helper, but the
exact behaviour of erase isn't specified in documentation or tests.
Some helpers (such as credential-store and credential-libsecret) delete

most one matching credential.
Test that helpers erase all matching credentials. This behaviour is

To partition the set of packs based on which ones are "kept" (either
they have a .keep file, or were otherwise marked via the `--keep-pack`
option) and "non-kept" ones (anything else), `git repack` uses its
`collect_pack_filenames()` function.
Ordinarily, we would rely on a convenience function such as
`get_all_packs()` to enumerate and partition the set of packs. But
`collect_pack_filenames()` uses `readdir()` directly to read the
contents of the "$GIT_DIR/objects/pack" directory, and adds each entry
ending in ".pack" to the appropriate list (either kept, or non-kept as
above).
This is subtly racy, since `collect_pack_filenames()` may see a pack
that is not fully staged (i.e., it is missing its ".idx" file).
Ordinarily, this doesn't cause a problem. But it can cause issues when
generating a cruft pack.
This is because `git repack` feeds (among other things) the list of
existing kept packs down to `git pack-objects --cruft` to indicate that
any kept packs will not be removed from the repository (so that the
cruft pack machinery can avoid packing objects that appear in those
packs as cruft).
But `read_cruft_objects()` lists packfiles by calling `get_all_packs()`.
So if a ".pack" file exists (necessary to get that pack to appear to
`collect_pack_filenames()`), but doesn't have a corresponding ".idx"
file (necessary to get that pack to appear via `get_all_packs()`), we'll
complain with:
fatal: could not find pack '.tmp-5841-pack-a6b0150558609c323c496ced21de6f4b66589260.pack'
Fix the above by teaching `collect_pack_filenames()` to only collect
packs with their corresponding `*.idx` files in place, indicating that
those packs have been fully staged.
There are a couple of things worth noting:
- Since each entry in the `extra_keep` list (which contains the
`--keep-pack` names) has a `*.pack` suffix, we'll have to swap the
suffix from ".pack" to ".idx", and compare that instead.
- Since we use the the `fname_kept_list` to figure out which packs to
delete (with `git repack -d`), we would have previously deleted a
`*.pack` with no index (since the existince of a ".pack" file is
necessary and sufficient to include that pack in the list of
existing non-kept packs).
Now we will leave it alone (since that pack won't appear in the
list). This is far more correct behavior, since we don't want
to race with a pack being staged. Deleting a partially staged pack
is unlikely, however, since the window of time between staging a
pack and moving its .idx file into place is miniscule.
Note that this window does *not* include the time it takes to
receive and index the pack, since the incoming data goes into
"$GIT_DIR/objects/tmp_pack_XXXXXX", which does not end in ".pack"
and is thus ignored by collect_pack_filenames().
In the future, this function should probably be rewritten as a callback
to `for_each_file_in_pack_dir()`, but this is the simplest change we
could do in the short-term.

Several builtins depend on being able to disable the replace references
so we actually operate on each object individually. These currently do
so by directly mutating the 'read_replace_refs' global.
A future change will move this global into a different place, so it will
be necessary to change all of these lines. However, we can simplify that
transition by abstracting the purpose of these global assignments with a
method call.
We will need to keep this read_replace_refs global forever, as we want
to make sure that we never use replace refs throughout the life of the
process if this method is called. Future changes may present a
repository-scoped version of the variable to represent that repository's
core.useReplaceRefs config value, but a zero-valued read_replace_refs
will always override such a setting.

In db9d67f2e9 (builtin/cat-file.c: support NUL-delimited input with
`-z`, 2022-07-22), we have introduced a new mode to read the input via
NUL-delimited records instead of newline-delimited records. This allows
the user to query for revisions that have newlines in their path
component. While unusual, such queries are perfectly valid and thus it
is clear that we should be able to support them properly.
Unfortunately, the commit only changed the input to be NUL-delimited,
but didn't change the output at the same time. While this is fine for
queries that are processed successfully, it is less so for queries that
aren't. In the case of missing commits for example the result can become
entirely unparsable:
```
$ printf "7ce4f05bae8120d9fa258e854a8669f6ea9cb7b1 blob 10\n1234567890\n\n\commit000" |
git cat-file --batch -z
7ce4f05bae blob 10
1234567890
commit missing
```
This is of course a crafted query that is intentionally gaming the
deficiency, but more benign queries that contain newlines would have
similar problems.
Ideally, we should have also changed the output to be NUL-delimited when
`-z` is specified to avoid this problem. As the input is NUL-delimited,
it is clear that the output in this case cannot ever contain NUL
characters by itself. Furthermore, Git does not allow NUL characters in
revisions anyway, further stressing the point that using NUL-delimited
output is safe. The only exception is of course the object data itself,
but as git-cat-file(1) prints the size of the object data clients should
read until that specified size has been consumed.
But even though `-z` has only been introduced a few releases ago in Git
v2.38.0, changing the output format retroactively to also NUL-delimit
output would be a backwards incompatible change. And while one could
make the argument that the output is inherently broken already, we need
to assume that there are existing users out there that use it just fine
given that revisions containing newlines are quite exotic.
Instead, introduce a new option `-Z` that switches to NUL-delimited
input and output. While this new option could arguably only switch the
output format to be NUL-delimited, the consequence would be that users
have to always specify both `-z` and `-Z` when the input may contain
newlines. On the other hand, if the user knows that there never will be
newlines in the input, they don't have to use either of those options.
There is thus no usecase that would warrant treating input and output
format separately, which is why we instead opt to "do the right thing"
and have `-Z` mean to NUL-terminate both formats.
The old `-z` option is marked as deprecated with a hint that its output
may become unparsable. It is thus hidden both from the synopsis as well
as the command's help output.
