The base topic started to make it an error for a command to leave
the hash algorithm unspecified, which revealed a few commands that
were not ready for the change. Give users a knob to revert back to
the "default is sha-1" behaviour as an escape hatch, and start
fixing these breakages.

We track the "fixed value" option via two separate bits: once via the
global variable `fixed_value`, and once via the CONFIG_FLAGS_FIXED_VALUE
bit in `flags`. This is confusing and may easily lead to issues when one
is not aware that this is tracked via two separate mechanisms.
Refactor the code to use the flag exclusively. We already pass it to all
the required callsites anyway, except for `collect_config()`.

The `key` variable is used by the `get_value()` function for two
purposes:
- It is used to store the result of `git_config_parse_key()`, which is
then passed on to `collect_config()`.
- It is used as a store to convert the provided key to an
all-lowercase key when `use_key_regexp` is set.
Neither of these cases warrant a global variable at all. In the former
case we can pass the key via `struct collect_config_data`. And in the
latter case we really only want to have it as a temporary local variable
such that we can free associated memory.
Refactor the code accordingly to reduce our reliance on global state.

The `check_write()` function verifies that we do not try to write to a
config source that cannot be written to, like for example stdin. But
while the new subcommands do call this function, they do so before
calling `handle_config_location()`. Consequently, we only end up
checking the default config location for writeability, not the location
that was actually specified by the caller of git-config(1).
Fix this by calling `check_write()` after `handle_config_location()`. We
will further clarify the relationship between those two functions in a
subsequent commit where we remove the global state that both implicitly
rely on.

In `cmd_config()` we first try to parse the provided arguments as
subcommands and, if this is successful, call the respective functions
of that subcommand. Otherwise we continue with the "legacy" mode that
uses implicit actions and/or flags.
Disentangle this by moving the legacy mode into its own function. This
allows us to move the options into the respective functions and clearly
separates concerns.

When invoking git-config(1) with a wrong set of arguments we end up
calling `usage_builtin_config()` after printing an error message that
says what was wrong. As that function ends up printing the full list of
options, which is quite long, the actual error message will be buried by
a wall of text. This makes it really hard to figure out what exactly
caused the error.
Furthermore, now that we have recently introduced subcommands, the usage
information may actually be misleading as we unconditionally print
options of the subcommand-less mode.
Fix both of these issues by just not printing the options at all
anymore. Instead, we call `usage()` that makes us report in a single
line what has gone wrong. This should be way more discoverable for our
users and addresses the inconsistency.
Furthermore, this change allow us to inline the options into the
respective functions that use them to parse the command line.

There exist a bunch of call sites in the reftable backend that want to
create iterators for a reftable stack. This is rather convoluted right
now, where you always have to go via the merged table. And it is about
to become even more convoluted when we split up iterator initialization
and seeking in the next commit.
Introduce convenience functions that allow the caller to create an
iterator from a reftable stack directly without going through the merged
table. Adapt callers accordingly.

Reftable iterators are created by seeking on the parent structure of a
corresponding record. For example, to create an iterator for the merged
table you would call `reftable_merged_table_seek_ref()`. Most notably,
it is not posible to create an iterator and then seek it afterwards.
While this may be a bit easier to reason about, it comes with two
significant downsides. The first downside is that the logic to find
records is split up between the parent data structure and the iterator
itself. Conceptually, it is more straight forward if all that logic was
contained in a single place, which should be the iterator.
The second and more significant downside is that it is impossible to
reuse iterators for multiple seeks. Whenever you want to look up a
record, you need to re-create the whole infrastructure again, which is
quite a waste of time. Furthermore, it is impossible to optimize seeks,
such as when seeking the same record multiple times.
To address this, we essentially split up the concerns properly such that
the parent data structure is responsible for setting up the iterator via
a new `init_iter()` callback, whereas the iterator handles seeks via a
new `seek()` callback. This will eventually allow us to call `seek()` on
the iterator multiple times, where every iterator can potentially
optimize for certain cases.
Note that at this point in time we are not yet ready to reuse the
iterators. This will be left for a future patch series.

When seeking on a merged table, we perform the seek for each of the
subiterators. If the subiterator has the desired record we add it to the
priority queue, otherwise we skip it and don't add it to the stack of
subiterators hosted by the merged table.
The consequence of this is that the index of the subiterator in the
merged table does not necessarily correspond to the index of it in the
merged iterator. Next to being potentially confusing, it also means that
we won't easily be able to re-seek the merged iterator because we have
no clear connection between both of the data structures.
Refactor the code so that the index stays the same in both structures.

To initialize a `struct merged_iter`, we need to seek all subiterators
to the wanted record and then add their results to the priority queue
used to sort the records. This logic is split up across two functions,
`merged_table_seek_record()` and `merged_iter_init()`. The scope of
these functions is somewhat weird though, where `merged_iter_init()` is
only responsible for adding the records of the subiterators to the
priority queue.
Clarify the scope of those functions such that `merged_iter_init()` is
only responsible for initializing the iterator's structure. Performing
the subiterator seeks are now part of `merged_table_seek_record()`.
This step is required to move seeking of records into the generic
`struct reftable_iterator` infrastructure.

In "reftable/reader.c" we implement two different interfaces:
- The reftable reader contains the logic to read reftables.
- The table iterator is used to iterate through a single reftable read
by the reader.
The way those two types are used in the code is somewhat confusing
though because seeking inside a table is implemented as if it was part
of the reftable reader, even though it is ultimately more of a detail
implemented by the table iterator.
Make the boundary between those two types clearer by renaming functions
that seek records in a table such that they clearly belong to the table
iterator's logic.

When doing an indexed seek we need to walk down the multi-level index
until we finally hit a record of the desired indexed type. This loop
performs a copy of the index iterator on every iteration, which is both
hard to understand and completely unnecessary.
Refactor the code so that we use a single iterator to walk down the
indices, only.
Note that while this should improve performance, the improvement is
negligible in all but the most unreasonable repositories. This is
because the effect is only really noticeable when we have to walk down
many levels of indices, which is not something that a repository would
typically have. So the motivation for this change is really only about
readability.

Besides the expected "ref" and "log" records, the reftable library also
writes "obj" records. These are basically a reverse mapping of object
IDs to their respective ref records so that it becomes efficient to
figure out which references point to a specific object. The motivation
for this data structure is the "uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant" config,
which allows a client to fetch any object by its hash that has a ref
pointing to it.
This reverse index is not used by Git at all though, and the expectation
is that most hosters nowadays use "uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant". It
may thus be preferable for many users to disable writing these optional
object indices altogether to safe some precious disk space.
Add a new config "reftable.indexObjects" that allows the user to disable
the object index altogether.

Git repository. Users can use GIT_DEFAULT_HASH_ALGORITHM environment to
specify what hash algorithm they want, so arguably this code should not
be needed.

In c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash,
2024-05-07), we have adapted `initialize_repository()` to no longer set
up a default hash function. As this function is also used to set up
`the_repository`, the consequence is that `the_hash_algo` will now by
default be a `NULL` pointer unless the hash algorithm was configured
properly. This is done as a mechanism to detect cases where we may be
using the wrong hash function by accident.
This change now causes git-patch-id(1) to segfault when it's run outside
of a repository. As this command can read diffs from stdin, it does not
necessarily need a repository, but then relies on `the_hash_algo` to
compute the patch ID itself.
It is somewhat dubious that git-patch-id(1) relies on `the_hash_algo` in
the first place. Quoting its manpage:
A "patch ID" is nothing but a sum of SHA-1 of the file diffs
associated with a patch, with line numbers ignored. As such, it’s
"reasonably stable", but at the same time also reasonably unique,
i.e., two patches that have the same "patch ID" are almost
guaranteed to be the same thing.
We explicitly document patch IDs to be using SHA-1. Furthermore, patch
IDs are supposed to be stable for most of the part. But even with the
same input, the patch IDs will now be different depending on the repo's
configured object hash.
Work around the issue by setting up SHA-1 when there was no startup
repository for now. This is arguably not the correct fix, but for now we
rather want to focus on getting the segfault fixed.

The `is_root_ref()` function will happily clarify a pseudoref as a root
ref, even though pseudorefs are no refs. Next to being wrong, it also
leads to inconsistent behaviour across ref backends: while the "files"
backend accidentally knows to parse those pseudorefs and thus yields
them to the caller, the "reftable" backend won't ever see the pseudoref
at all because they are never stored in the "reftable" backend.
Fix this issue by filtering out pseudorefs in `is_root_ref()`.

Root refs are those refs that live in the root of the ref hierarchy.
Our old and venerable "HEAD" reference falls into this category, but we
don't yet classify it as such in `is_root_ref()`.
Adapt the function to also treat "HEAD" as a root ref. This change is
safe to do for all current callers:
- `ref_kind_from_refname()` already handles "HEAD" explicitly before
calling `is_root_ref()`.
- The "files" and "reftable" backends explicitly called both
`is_root_ref()` and `is_headref()`.
This also aligns behaviour or `is_root_ref()` and `is_headref()` such
that we also return a trueish value when the ref is a dangling symbolic
ref. As there are no callers of `is_headref()` left afer the refactoring
we absorb it completely into `is_root_ref()`.

Before this patch series, root refs except for "HEAD" and our special
refs were classified as pseudorefs. Furthermore, our terminology
clarified that pseudorefs must not be symbolic refs. This restriction
is enforced in `is_root_ref()`, which explicitly checks that a supposed
root ref resolves to an object ID without recursing.
This has been extremely confusing right from the start because (in old
terminology) a ref name may sometimes be a pseudoref and sometimes not
depending on whether it is a symbolic or regular ref. This behaviour
does not seem reasonable at all and I very much doubt that it results in
anything sane.
Last but not least, the current behaviour can actually lead to a
segfault when calling `is_root_ref()` with a reference that either does
not exist or that is a symbolic ref because we never initialized `oid`.
Let's loosen the restrictions in accordance to the new definition of
root refs, which are simply plain refs that may as well be a symbolic
ref. Consequently, we can just check for the ref to exist instead of
requiring it to be a regular ref.
Add a test that verifies that this does not change user-visible
behaviour. Namely, we still don't want to show broken refs to the user
by default in git-for-each-ref(1). What this does allow though is for
internal callers to surface dangling root refs when they pass in the
`DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN` flag.

Except for the pseudorefs MERGE_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, all refs that live
in the root of the ref hierarchy behave the exact same as normal refs.
They can be symbolic refs or direct refs and can be read, iterated over
and written via normal tooling. All of these refs are stored in the ref
backends, which further demonstrates that they are just normal refs.

Nowadays, Git knows about three different kinds of refs. As defined in
gitglossary(7):
- Regular refs that start with "refs/", like "refs/heads/main".
- Pseudorefs, which live in the root directory. These must have
all-caps names and must be a file that start with an object hash.
Consequently, symbolic refs are not pseudorefs because they do not
start with an object hash.
- Special refs, of which we only have "FETCH_HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD".
This state is extremely confusing, and I would claim that most folks
don't fully understand what is what here. The current definitions also
have several problems:
- Where does "HEAD" fit in? It's not a pseudoref because it can be
a symbolic ref. It's not a regular ref because it does not start
with "refs/". And it's not a special ref, either.
- There is a strong overlap between pseudorefs and special refs. The
pseudoref section for example mentions "MERGE_HEAD", even though it
is a special ref. Is it thus both a pseudoref and a special ref?
- Why do we even need to distinguish refs that live in the root from
other refs when they behave just like a regular ref anyway?
In other words, the current state is quite a mess and leads to wild
inconsistencies without much of a good reason.
The original reason why pseudorefs were introduced is that there are
some refs that sometimes behave like a ref, even though they aren't a
ref. And we really only have two of these nowadays, namely "MERGE_HEAD"
and "FETCH_HEAD". Those files are never written via the ref backends,
but are instead written by git-fetch(1), git-pull(1) and git-merge(1).
They contain additional metadata that highlights where a ref has been
fetched from or the list of commits that have been merged.
This original intent in fact matches the definition of special refs that
we have recently introduced in 8df4c5d205 (Documentation: add "special
refs" to the glossary, 2024-01-19). Due to the introduction of the new
reftable backend we were forced to distinguish those refs more clearly
such that we don't ever try to read or write them via the reftable
backend. In the same series, we also addressed all the other cases where
we used to write those special refs via the filesystem directly, thus
circumventing the ref backend, to instead write them via the backends.
Consequently, there are no other refs left anymore which are special.
Let's address this mess and return the pseudoref terminology back to its
original intent: a ref that sometimes behave like a ref, but which isn't
really a ref because it gets written to the filesystem directly. Or in
other words, let's redefine pseudorefs to match the current definition
of special refs. As special refs and pseudorefs are now the same per
definition, we can drop the "special refs" term again. It's not exposed
to our users and thus they wouldn't ever encounter that term anyway.
Refs that live in the root of the ref hierarchy but which are not
pseudorefs will be further defined in a subsequent commit.

Explain a full lifecycle of a patch series upfront, so that it is
clear when key decisions to "accept" a series is made and how a new
patch series becomes a part of a new release.
Fold the "you need to monitor the progress of your topic" section
into the primary "patch lifecycle" section, as that is one of the
things the patch submitter is responsible for. It is not like "I
sent a patch and responded to review messages, and now it is their
problem". They need to see their patch through the patch life
cycle.
Earlier versions of this document outlined a slightly different
patch flow in an idealized world, where the original submitter
gathered agreements from the participants of the discussion and sent
the final "we all agreed that this is the good version--please
apply" patches to the maintainer. In practice, this almost never
happened. Instead, describe what flow was used in practice for the
past decade that worked well for us.

Before discussing the small details of how the patch gets sent, we'd
want to give people a larger picture first to set the expectation
straight. The existing patch-flow section covers materials that are
suitable for that purpose, so move it to the beginning of the
document. We'll update the contents of the section to clarify what
goal the patch submitter is working towards in the next step, which
will make it easier to understand the reason behind the individual
rules presented in latter parts of the document.
This step only moves two sections (patch-flow and patch-status)
without changing their contents, except that their section levels
are demoted from Level 1 to Level 2 to fit better in the document
structure at their new place.

Our osx-gcc job explicitly asks to install gcc-13. But since the GitHub

brew unlink gcc
which cause the whole CI job to bail.
I didn't track down the root cause, but I suspect it may be related to
homebrew recently switching the "gcc" default to gcc-14. And it may even
be fixed when a new runner image is released. But if we don't need to

On macOS, a bare "gcc" (without a version) will invoke a wrapper for
clang, not actual gcc. Even when gcc is installed via homebrew, that
only provides version-specific links in /usr/local/bin (like "gcc-13"),
and never a version-agnostic "gcc" wrapper.
As far as I can tell, this has been the case for a long time, and this
osx-gcc job has largely been doing nothing. We can point it at "gcc-13",
which will pick up the homebrew-installed version.
The fix here is specific to the github workflow file, as the gitlab one
does not have a matching job.
It's a little unfortunate that we cannot just ask for the latest version
of gcc which homebrew provides, but as far as I can tell there is no
easy alias (you'd have to find the highest number gcc-* in
/usr/local/bin yourself).

Under macOS, `git ls-files path` does not work (gives an error)
if the absolute 'path' contains characters in NFD (decomposed).
This happens when core.precomposeunicode is true, which is the
most common case. The bug report says:
$ cd somewhere # some safe place, /tmp or ~/tmp etc.
$ mkdir $'u\xcc\x88' # ü in NFD
$ cd ü # or cd $'u\xcc\x88' or cd $'\xc3\xbc'
$ git init
$ git ls-files $'/somewhere/u\xcc\x88' # NFD
fatal: /somewhere/ü: '/somewhere/ü' is outside repository at '/somewhere/ü'
$ git ls-files $'/somewhere/\xc3\xbc' # NFC
(the same error as above)
In the 'fatal:' error message, there are three ü;
the 1st and 2nd are in NFC, the 3rd is in NFD.
Add a test case that follows the bug report, with the simplification
that the 'ü' is replaced by an 'ä', which is already used as NFD and
NFC in t0050.
Precompose the result of getcwd(), if needed, just like all other
paths we use internally. That way, paths comparisons are all done
in NFC and we would correctly notice that the early part of the
path given as an absolute path matches the current directory.
One possible implementation would be to re-define getcwd() similar
to opendir(), readdir() and closedir(), but since there is already a
strbuf wrapper around getcwd(), and only this wrapper is used inside
the whole codebase, equip strbuf_getcwd() with a call to the newly
created function precompose_strbuf_if_needed().
Note that precompose_strbuf_if_needed() is a function under macOS,
and is a "no-op" on all other systems.

During the latest v2.45.0 update, 'scalar reconfigure --all' started to
segfault on my machine. Breaking it down via the debugger, it was
faulting on a NULL reference to the_hash_algo, which is a macro pointing
to the_repository->hash_algo.
In my case, this is due to one of my repositories having a detached HEAD,
which requires get_oid_hex() to parse that the HEAD reference is valid.
Another way to cause a failure is to use the "includeIf.onbranch" config
key, which will lead to a BUG() statement.
My first inclination was to try to refactor cmd_reconfigure() to execute
'git for-each-repo' instead of this loop. In addition to the difficulty
of executing 'scalar reconfigure' within 'git for-each-repo', it would
be difficult to perform the clean-up logic for non-existent repos if we
relied on that child process.
Instead, I chose to move the temporary repo to be within the loop and
reinstate the_repository to its old value after we are done performing
logic on the current array item.
Add tests to t9210-scalar.sh to test 'scalar reconfigure --all' with
multiple registered repos. There are two different ways that the old
use of the_repository could trigger bugs. These issues are being solved
independently to be more careful about the_repository being
uninitialized, but the change in this patch around the use of
the_repository is still a good safety precaution.

The `refs_create_symref()` function is used to update/create a symref.
But it doesn't check the old target of the symref, if existing. It force
updates the symref. In this regard, the name `refs_create_symref()` is a
bit misleading. So let's rename it to `refs_update_symref()`. This is

The `refs_create_symref()` function updates a symref to a given new
target. To do this, it uses a ref-backend specific function
`create_symref()`.
In the previous commits, we introduced symref support in transactions.
This means we can now use transactions to perform symref updates and
don't have to resort to `create_symref()`. Doing this allows us to
remove and cleanup `create_symref()`, which we will do in the following
commit.
Modify the expected error message for a test in
't/t0610-reftable-basics.sh', since the error is now thrown from
'refs.c'. This is because in transactional updates, F/D conflicts are

The reference backends currently support transactional reference
updates. While this is exposed to users via 'git-update-ref' and its
'--stdin' mode, it is also used internally within various commands.
However, we do not support transactional updates of symrefs. This commit
adds support for symrefs in both the 'files' and the 'reftable' backend.
Here, we add and use `ref_update_has_null_new_value()`, a helper
function which is used to check if there is a new_value in a reference
update. The new value could either be a symref target `new_target` or a
OID `new_oid`.
We also add another common function `ref_update_check_old_target` which
will be used to check if the update's old_target corresponds to a
reference's current target.
Now transactional updates (verify, create, delete, update) can be used
for:
- regular refs
- symbolic refs
- conversion of regular to symbolic refs and vice versa
This also allows us to expose this to users via new commands in
'git-update-ref' in the future.
Note that a dangling symref update does not record a new reflog entry,
which is unchanged before and after this commit.

The 'reference-transaction' hook runs whenever a reference update is
made to the system. In a previous commit, we added the `old_target` and
`new_target` fields to the `reference_transaction_update()`. In
following commits we'll also add the code to handle symref's in the
reference backends.
Support symrefs also in the 'reference-transaction' hook, by modifying
the current format:
<old-oid> SP <new-oid> SP <ref-name> LF
to be be:
<old-value> SP <new-value> SP <ref-name> LF
where for regular refs the output would not change and remain the same.
But when either 'old-value' or 'new-value' is a symref, we print the ref
as 'ref:<ref-target>'.
This does break backward compatibility, but the 'reference-transaction'
hook's documentation always stated that support for symbolic references
may be added in the future.
We do not add any tests in this commit since there is no git command
which activates this flow, in an upcoming commit, we'll start using
transaction based symref updates as the default, we'll add tests there
for the hook too.

The function `create_symref_locked()` creates a symref by creating a
'<symref>.lock' file and then committing the symref lock, which creates
the final symref.
Extract the early half of `create_symref_locked()` into a new helper
function `create_symref_lock()`. Because the name of the new function is
too similar to the original, rename the original to
`create_and_commit_symref()` to avoid confusion.
The new function `create_symref_locked()` can be used to create the
symref lock in a separate step from that of committing it. This allows
to add transactional support for symrefs, where the lock would be
created in the preparation step and the lock would be committed in the

The function `ref_transaction_update()` obtains ref information and
flags to create a `ref_update` and add them to the transaction at hand.
To extend symref support in transactions, we need to also accept the
old and new ref targets and process it. This commit adds the required
parameters to the function and modifies all call sites.
The two parameters added are `new_target` and `old_target`. The
`new_target` is used to denote what the reference should point to when
the transaction is applied. Some functions allow this parameter to be
NULL, meaning that the reference is not changed.
The `old_target` denotes the value the reference must have before the
update. Some functions allow this parameter to be NULL, meaning that the
old value of the reference is not checked.
We also update the internal function `ref_transaction_add_update()`
similarly to take the two new parameters.

During the startup of Git, we call `initialize_the_repository()` to set
up `the_repository` as well as `the_index`. Part of this setup is also
to set the default object hash of the repository to SHA1. This has the
effect that `the_hash_algo` is getting initialized to SHA1, as well.
This default hash algorithm eventually gets overridden by most Git
commands via `setup_git_directory()`, which also detects the actual hash
algorithm used by the repository.
There are some commands though that don't access a repository at all, or
at a later point only, and thus retain the default hash function for
some amount of time. As some of the the preceding commits demonstrate,
this can lead to subtle issues when we access `the_hash_algo` when no
repository has been set up.
Address this issue by dropping the set up of the default hash algorithm
completely. The effect of this is that `the_hash_algo` will map to a
`NULL` pointer and thus cause Git to crash when something tries to
access the hash algorithm without it being properly initialized. It thus
forces all Git commands to explicitly set up the hash algorithm in case
there is no repository.

It is possible to run git-shortlog(1) outside of a repository by passing
it output from git-log(1) via standard input. Obviously, as there is no
repository in that context, it is thus unsupported to pass any revisions
as arguments.
Regardless of that we still end up calling `setup_revisions()`. While
that works alright, it is somewhat strange. Furthermore, this is about
to cause problems when we unset the default object hash.
Refactor the code to only call `setup_revisions()` when we have a
repository. This is safe to do as we already verify that there are no
arguments when running outside of a repository anyway.

The git-diff(1) command can be used outside repositories to diff two
files with each other. But even if there is no repository we will end up
hashing the files that we are diffing so that we can print the "index"
line:
```
diff --git a/a b/b
index 7898192..6178079 100644
--- a/a
+++ b/b
@@ -1 +1 @@
-a
+b
```
We implicitly use SHA1 to calculate the hash here, which is because
`the_repository` gets initialized with SHA1 during the startup routine.
We are about to stop doing this though such that `the_repository` only
ever has a hash function when it was properly initialized via a repo's
configuration.
To give full control to our users, we would ideally add a new switch to
git-diff(1) that allows them to specify the hash function when executed
outside of a repository. But for now, we only convert the code to make
this explicit such that we can stop setting the default hash algorithm
for `the_repository`.

Verifying a bundle requires us to have a repository. This is encoded in
`verify_bundle()`, which will return an error if there is no repository.
We call `open_bundle()` before we call `verify_bundle()` though, which
already performs some verifications even though we may ultimately abort
due to a missing repository.
This is problematic because `open_bundle()` already reads the bundle
header and verifies that it contains a properly formatted hash. When
there is no repository we have no clue what hash function to expect
though, so we always end up assuming SHA1 here, which may or may not be
correct. Furthermore, we are about to stop initializing `the_hash_algo`
when there is no repository, which will lead to segfaults.
Check early on whether we have a repository to fix this issue.

We access `the_hash_algo` in git-blame(1) before we have executed
`parse_options_start()`, which may not be properly set up in case we
have no repository. This is fine for most of the part because all the
call paths that lead to it (git-blame(1), git-annotate(1) as well as
git-pick-axe(1)) specify `RUN_SETUP` and thus require a repository.
There is one exception though, namely when passing `-h` to print the
help. Here we will access `the_hash_algo` even if there is no repo.
This works fine right now because `the_hash_algo` gets sets up to point
to the SHA1 algorithm via `initialize_repository()`. But we're about to
stop doing this, and thus the code would lead to a `NULL` pointer
exception.
Prepare the code for this and only access `the_hash_algo` after we are
sure that there is a proper repository.

The `--short=` option for git-rev-parse(1) allows the user to specify
to how many characters object IDs should be shortened to. The option is
broken though for SHA256 repositories because we set the maximum allowed
hash size to `the_hash_algo->hexsz` before we have even set up the repo.
Consequently, `the_hash_algo` will always be SHA1 and thus we truncate
every hash after at most 40 characters.
Fix this by accessing `the_hash_algo` only after we have set up the
repo.

The dumb HTTP transport tries to read the remote HEAD reference by
downloading the "HEAD" file and then parsing it via `http_fetch_ref()`.
This function will either parse the file as an object ID in case it is
exactly `the_hash_algo->hexsz` long, or otherwise it will check whether
the reference starts with "ref :" and parse it as a symbolic ref.
This is broken when parsing detached HEADs of a remote SHA256 repository
because we never update `the_hash_algo` to the discovered remote object
hash. Consequently, `the_hash_algo` will always be the fallback SHA1
hash algorithm, which will cause us to fail parsing HEAD altogteher when
it contains a SHA256 object ID.
Fix this issue by setting up `the_hash_algo` via `repo_set_hash_algo()`.
While at it, let's make the expected SHA1 fallback explicit in our code,
which also addresses an upcoming issue where we are going to remove the
SHA1 fallback for `the_hash_algo`.

If either the `--attr-source` option or the `GIT_ATTR_SOURCE` envvar are
set, then `compute_default_attr_source()` will try to look up the value
as a treeish. It is possible to hit that function while outside of a Git
repository though, for example when using `git grep --no-index`. In that
case, Git will hit a bug because we try to look up the main ref store
outside of a repository.
Handle the case gracefully and detect when we try to look up an attr
source without a repository.

The `default_attr_source()` function lazily computes the attr source
supposedly once, only. This is done via a static variable `attr_source`
that contains the resolved object ID of the attr source's tree. If the
variable is the null object ID then we try to look up the attr source,
otherwise we skip over it.
This approach is flawed though: the variable will never be set to
anything else but the null object ID in case there is no attr source.
Consequently, we re-compute the information on every call. And in the
worst case, when we silently ignore bad trees, this will cause us to try
and look up the treeish every single time.
Improve this by introducing a separate variable `has_attr_source` to
track whether we already computed the attr source and, if so, whether we
have an attr source or not.
This also allows us to convert the `ignore_bad_attr_tree` to not be
static anymore as the code will only be executed once anyway.

The `OPT__ABBREV()` option can be used to add an option that abbreviates
object IDs. When given a length longer than `the_hash_algo->hexsz`, then
it will instead set the length to that maximum length.
It may not always be guaranteed that we have `the_hash_algo` initialized
properly as the hash algorithm can only be set up after we have set up
`the_repository`. In that case, the hash would always be truncated to
the hex length of SHA1, which may not be what the user desires.
In practice it's not a problem as all commands that use `OPT__ABBREV()`
also have `RUN_SETUP` set and thus cannot work without a repository.
Consequently, both `the_repository` and `the_hash_algo` would be
properly set up.
Regardless of that, harden the code to not truncate the length when we
didn't set up a repository.

The `validate_headref()` function takes a path to a supposed "HEAD" file
and checks whether its format is something that we understand. It is
used as part of our repository discovery to check whether a specific
directory is a Git directory or not.
Part of the validation is a check for a detached HEAD that contains a
plain object ID. To do this validation we use `get_oid_hex()`, which
relies on `the_hash_algo`. At this point in time the hash algo cannot
yet be initialized though because we didn't yet read the Git config.
Consequently, it will always be the SHA1 hash algorithm.
In practice this works alright because `get_oid_hex()` only ends up
checking whether the prefix of the buffer is a valid object ID. And
because SHA1 is shorter than SHA256, the function will successfully
parse SHA256 object IDs, as well.
It is somewhat fragile though and not really the intent to only check
for SHA1. With this in mind, harden the code to use `get_oid_hex_any()`
to check whether the "HEAD" file parses as any known hash.
One might be hard pressed to tighten the check even further and fully
validate the file contents, not only the prefix. In practice though that
wouldn't make a lot of sense as it could be that the repository uses a
hash function that produces longer hashes than SHA256, but which the
current version of Git doesn't understand yet. We'd still want to detect
the repository as proper Git repository in that case, and we will fail
eventually with a proper error message that the hash isn't understood
when trying to set up the repository format.
It follows that we could just leave the current code intact, as in
practice the code change doesn't have any user visible impact. But it
also prepares us for `the_hash_algo` being unset when there is no
repository.

Add a wrapper script to allow `prove` to run both shell tests and unit
tests from a single invocation. This avoids issues around running prove
twice in CI, as discussed in [1].
Additionally, this moves the unit tests into the main dev workflow, so
that errors can be spotted more quickly. Accordingly, we remove the
separate unit tests step for Linux CI. (We leave the Windows CI
unit-test step as-is, because the sharding scheme there involves
selecting specific test files rather than running `make test`.)

Teach the testsuite runner in `test-tool run-command testsuite` how to
run unit tests: if TEST_SHELL_PATH is not set, run the programs directly
from CWD, rather than defaulting to "sh" as an interpreter.
With this change, you can now use test-tool to run the unit tests:
$ make
$ cd t/unit-tests/bin
$ ../../helper/test-tool run-command testsuite
This should be helpful on Windows to allow running tests without
requiring Perl (for `prove`), as discussed in [1] and [2].
This again breaks backwards compatibility, as it is now required to set
TEST_SHELL_PATH properly for executing shell scripts, but again, as
noted in [2], there are no longer any such invocations in our codebase.

`test-tool run-command testsuite` currently assumes that it will only be
running the shell test suite, and therefore filters out anything that
does not match a hardcoded pattern of "t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh".
Later in this series, we'll adapt `test-tool run-command testsuite` to
also support unit tests, which do not follow the same naming conventions
as the shell tests, so this hardcoded pattern is inconvenient.
Since `testsuite` also allows specifying patterns on the command-line,
let's just remove this pattern. As noted in [1], there are no longer any
uses of `testsuite` in our codebase, it should be OK to break backwards
compatibility in this case. We also add a new filter to avoid trying to
execute "." and "..", so that users who wish to execute every test in a
directory can do so without specifying a pattern.

When running tests through `test-tool run-command testsuite`, we
currently hardcode `sh` as the command interpreter. As discussed in [1],
this is incorrect, and we should be using the shell set in
TEST_SHELL_PATH instead.
Add a shell_path field in struct testsuite so that we can pass this to
the task runner callback. If this is non-null, we'll use it as the
argv[0] of the subprocess. Otherwise, we'll just execute the test
program directly. We will use this feature in a later commit to enable
running binary executable unit tests.
However, for now when setting up the struct testsuite in testsuite(),
use the value of TEST_SHELL_PATH if it's set, otherwise keep the
original behavior by defaulting to `sh`.

While t/unit-tests/t-basic.c uses the unit-test framework added in
e137fe3b29 (unit tests: add TAP unit test framework, 2023-11-09), it is
not a true unit test in that it intentionally fails in order to exercise
various codepaths in the unit-test framework. Thus, we intentionally
exclude it when running unit tests through the various t/Makefile
targets. Instead, it is executed by t0080-unit-test-output.sh, which
verifies its output follows the TAP format expected for the various
pass, skip, or fail cases.
As such, it makes more sense for t-basic to be a helper item for
t0080-unit-test-output.sh, so let's move it to

Newer versions of Ubuntu have dropped Python 2 starting with Ubuntu
23.04. By default though, our CI setups will try to use that Python
version on all Ubuntu-based jobs except for the "linux-gcc" one.
We didn't notice this issue due to two reasons:
- The "ubuntu:latest" tag always points to the latest LTS release.
Until a few weeks ago this was Ubuntu 22.04, which still had Python
2.
- Our Docker-based CI jobs had their own script to install
dependencies until 9cdeb34b96 (ci: merge scripts which install
dependencies, 2024-04-12), where we didn't even try to install
Python at all for many of them.
Since the CI refactorings have originally been implemented, Ubuntu
24.04 was released, and it being an LTS versions means that the "latest"
tag now points to that Python-2-less version. Consequently, those jobs
that use "ubuntu:latest" broke.
Address this by using Python 2 on Ubuntu 20.04, only, whereas we use
Python 3 on all other Ubuntu jobs. Eventually, we should think about
dropping support for Python 2 completely.

We see too often that a range-diff added to format-patch output
shows too many "unmatched" patches. This is because the default
value for creation-factor is set to a relatively low value.
It may be justified for other uses (like you have a yet-to-be-sent
new iteration of your series, and compare it against the 'seen'
branch that has an older iteration, probably with the '--left-only'
option, to pick out only your patches while ignoring the others) of
"range-diff" command, but when the command is run as part of the
format-patch, the user _knows_ and expects that the patches in the
old and the new iterations roughly correspond to each other, so we
can and should use a much higher default.

While git-config(1) has several modes, those modes are not exposed with
subcommands but instead by specifying action flags like `--unset` or
`--list`. This user interface is not really in line with how our more
modern commands work, where it is a lot more customary to say e.g. `git
remote list`. Furthermore, to add to the confusion, git-config(1) also
allows the user to request modes implicitly by just specifying the
correct number of arguments. Thus, `git config foo.bar` will retrieve
the value of "foo.bar" while `git config foo.bar baz` will set it to
"baz".
Overall, this makes for a confusing interface that could really use a
makeover. It hurts discoverability of what you can do with git-config(1)
and is comparatively easy to get wrong. Converting the command to have
subcommands instead would go a long way to help address these issues.
One concern in this context is backwards compatibility. Luckily, we can
introduce subcommands without breaking backwards compatibility at all.
This is because all the implicit modes of git-config(1) require that the
first argument is a properly formatted config key. And as config keys
_must_ have a dot in their name, any value without a dot would have been
discarded by git-config(1) previous to this change. Thus, given that
none of the subcommands do have a dot, they are unambiguous.
Introduce the first such new subcommand, which is "git config list". To
retain backwards compatibility we only conditionally use subcommands and
will fall back to the old syntax in case no subcommand was detected.
This should help to transition to the new-style syntax until we
eventually deprecate and remove the old-style syntax.
Note that the way we handle this we're duplicating some functionality
across old and new syntax. While this isn't pretty, it helps us to
ensure that there really is no change in behaviour for the old syntax.
Amend tests such that we run them both with old and new style syntax.
As tests are now run twice, state from the first run may be still be
around in the second run and thus cause tests to fail. Add cleanup logic
as required to fix such tests.

The git-config(1) command has various different modes which are

- We have to manually handle exclusiveness of the modes.
