In 036876a1067 (config: hide functions using `the_repository` by
default, 2024-08-13) we have moved around a bunch of functions in the
config subsystem that depend on `the_repository`. Those function have
been converted into mere wrappers around their equivalent function that
takes in a repository as parameter, and the intent was that we'll
eventually remove those wrappers to make the dependency on the global
repository variable explicit at the callsite.
Follow through with that intent and remove `git_config_set()`. All
callsites are adjusted so that they use `repo_config_set(the_repository,
...)` instead. While some callsites might already have a repository
available, this mechanical conversion is the exact same as the current
situation and thus cannot cause any regression. Those sites should
eventually be cleaned up in a later patch series.

The 'extensions.preciousObjects' setting when set true, prevents
operations that might drop objects from the object storage. This setting
is populated in the global variable
'repository_format_precious_objects'.
Move this global variable to repo scope by adding it to 'struct
repository and also refactor all the occurences accordingly.
This change is part of an ongoing effort to eliminate global variables,
improve modularity and help libify the codebase.

With the preceding commit we have announced the switch to the "reftable"
format in Git 3.0 for newly created repositories. The format is being
battle tested by GitLab and a couple of other developers, and except for
a small handful of issues exposed early after it has been merged it has
been rock solid. Regardless of that though the test user base is still
comparatively small, which increases the risk that we miss critical
bugs.
Address this by enabling the reftable format when experimental features
are enabled. This should increase the test user base by some margin and
thus give us more input before making the format the default.

The "reftable" format has come a long way and has matured nicely since
it has been merged into git via 57db2a094d5 (refs: introduce reftable
backend, 2024-02-07). It fixes longstanding issues that cannot be fixed
with the "files" format in a backwards-compatible way and performs
significantly better in many use cases.
Announce that we will switch to the "reftable" format in Git 3.0 for
newly created repositories and wire up the change, hidden behind the
WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES preprocessor define.
This switch is dependent on support in the larger Git ecosystem. Most
importantly, libraries like JGit, libgit2 and Gitoxide should support
the reftable backend so that we don't break all applications and tools
built on top of those libraries.

When we define a new repository format with REPOSITORY_FORMAT_INIT, we
always use GIT_HASH_SHA1, and this value ends up getting used as the
default value to initialize a repository if none of the command line,
environment, or config tell us to do otherwise.
Because we might not always want to use SHA-1 as the default, let's
instead specify the default hash algorithm constant so that we will use
whatever the specified default is.
However, we also need to continue to read older repositories. If we're
in a v0 repository or extensions.objectformat is not set, then we must
continue to default to the original hash algorithm: SHA-1. If an
algorithm is set explicitly, however, it will override the hash_algo
member of the repository_format struct and we'll get the right value.
Similarly, if the repository was initialized before Git 0.99.3, then it
may lack a core.repositoryformatversion key, and some repositories lack
a config file altogether. In both cases, format->version is -1 and we
need to assume that SHA-1 is in use.
Because clear_repository_format reinitializes the struct
repository_format and therefore sets the hash_algo member to the default
(which could in the future not be SHA-1), we need to reset this member
explicitly. We know, however, that at the point we call
read_repository_format, we are actually reading an existing repository
and not initializing a new one or operating outside of a repository, so
we are not changing the default behavior back to SHA-1 if the default
algorithm is different.
It is potentially questionable that we ignore all repository
configuration if there is a config file but it doesn't have
core.repositoryformatversion set, in which case we reset all of the
configuration to the default. However, it is unclear what the right
thing to do instead with such an old repository is and a simple git init
will add the missing entry, so for now, we simply honor what the
existing code does and reset the value to the default, simply adding our
initialization to SHA-1.

We have a large variety of data formats and protocols where no hash
algorithm was defined and the default was assumed to always be SHA-1.
Instead of explicitly stating SHA-1, let's use the constant to represent
the legacy hash algorithm (which is still SHA-1) so that it's clear
for documentary purposes that it's a legacy fallback option and not an
intentional choice to use SHA-1.

With the preceding refactorings we now only have a couple of implicit
users of `the_repository` left in the "path" subsystem, all of which
depend on global state via `calc_shared_perm()`. Make the dependency on
`the_repository` explicit by passing the repo as a parameter instead and
adjust callers accordingly.
Note that this change bubbles up into a couple of subsystems that were
previously declared as free from `the_repository`. Instead of marking
all of them as `the_repository`-dependent again, we instead use the
repository that is available in the calling context. There are three
exceptions though with "copy.c", "pack-write.c" and "tempfile.c".
Adjusting these would require us to adapt callsites all over the place,
so this is left for a future iteration.
Mark "path.c" as free from `the_repository`.

The functions provided by the "path" subsystem to derive repository
paths for the commondir, gitdir, worktrees and submodules are quite
inconsistent. Some functions have a `strbuf_` prefix, others have
different return values, some don't provide a variant working on top of
`strbuf`s.
We're thus about to refactor all of these family of functions so that
they follow a common pattern:
- `repo_*_path()` returns an allocated string.
- `repo_*_path_append()` appends the path to the caller-provided
buffer while returning a constant pointer to the buffer. This
clarifies whether the buffer is being appended to or rewritten,
which otherwise wasn't immediately obvious.
- `repo_*_path_replace()` replaces contents of the buffer with the
computed path, again returning a pointer to the buffer contents.
The returned constant pointer isn't being used anywhere yet, but it will
be used in subsequent commits. Its intent is to allow calling patterns
like the following somewhat contrived example:
if (!stat(&st, repo_common_path_replace(repo, &buf, ...)) &&
!unlink(repo_common_path_replace(repo, &buf, ...)))
...
Refactor the commondir family of functions accordingly and adapt all
callers.
Note that `repo_common_pathv()` is converted into an internal
implementation detail. It is only used to implement `the_repository`
compatibility shims and will eventually be removed from the public
interface.

The exact same issue as described in the preceding commit also exists
for GIT_DEFAULT_HASH. Thus, reinitializing a repository that e.g. uses
SHA1 with `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256 git init` will cause the object
format of that repository to change to SHA256. This is of course bogus
as any existing objects and refs will not be converted, thus causing
repository corruption:
$ git init repo
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/
$ cd repo/
$ git commit --allow-empty -m message
[main (root-commit) 35a7344] message
$ GIT_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256 git init
Reinitialized existing Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/
$ git show
fatal: your current branch appears to be broken
Fix the issue by ignoring the environment variable in case the repo has
already been initialized with an object hash.

The GIT_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT environment variable can be set to influence
the default ref format that new repostiories shall be initialized with.
While this is the expected behaviour when creating a new repository, it
is not when reinitializing a repository: we should retain the ref format
currently used by it in that case.
This doesn't work correctly right now:
$ git init --ref-format=files repo
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repo/.git/
$ GIT_DEFAULT_REF_FORMAT=reftable git init repo
fatal: could not open '/tmp/repo/.git/refs/heads' for writing: Is a directory
Instead of retaining the current ref format, the reinitialization tries
to reinitialize the repository with the different format. This action
fails when git-init(1) tries to write the ".git/refs/heads" stub, which
in the context of the reftable backend is always written as a file so
that we can detect clients which inadvertently try to access the repo
with the wrong ref format. Seems like the protection mechanism works for
this case, as well.
Fix the issue by ignoring the environment variable in case the repo has
already been initialized with a ref storage format.

one worktree in the repository has been linked with relative paths.

When reinitializing a repository, Git does not account for extensions
other than `objectformat` and `refstorage` when determining the
repository version. This can lead to a repository being downgraded to
version 0 if extensions are set, causing Git future operations to fail.

config to ensure that the repository version is set correctly.

Git currently stores absolute paths to both the main repository and
linked worktrees. However, this causes problems when moving repositories
or working in containerized environments where absolute paths differ
between systems. The worktree links break, and users are required to
manually execute `worktree repair` to repair them, leading to workflow
disruptions. Additionally, mapping repositories inside of containerized
environments renders the repository unusable inside the containers, and
this is not repairable as repairing the worktrees inside the containers
will result in them being broken outside the containers.
To address this, this patch makes Git always write relative paths when
linking worktrees. Relative paths increase the resilience of the
worktree links across various systems and environments, particularly
when the worktrees are self-contained inside the main repository (such
as when using a bare repository with worktrees). This improves
portability, workflow efficiency, and reduces overall breakages.
Although Git now writes relative paths, existing repositories with
absolute paths are still supported. There are no breaking changes
to workflows based on absolute paths, ensuring backward compatibility.
At a low level, the changes involve modifying functions in `worktree.c`
and `builtin/worktree.c` to use `relative_path()` when writing the
worktree’s `.git` file and the main repository’s `gitdir` reference.
Instead of hardcoding absolute paths, Git now computes the relative path
between the worktree and the repository, ensuring that these links are
portable. Locations where these respective file are read have also been
updated to properly handle both absolute and relative paths. Generally,
relative paths are always resolved into absolute paths before any
operations or comparisons are performed.
Additionally, `repair_worktrees_after_gitdir_move()` has been introduced
to address the case where both the `<worktree>/.git` and
`<repo>/worktrees/<id>/gitdir` links are broken after the gitdir is
moved (such as during a re-initialization). This function repairs both
sides of the worktree link using the old gitdir path to reestablish the
correct paths after a move.
The `worktree.path` struct member has also been updated to always store
the absolute path of a worktree. This ensures that worktree consumers
never have to worry about trying to resolve the absolute path themselves.

The value of "core.logAllRefUpdates" is being stored in the global
variable `log_all_ref_updates`. This design is somewhat aged nowadays,
where it is entirely possible to access multiple repositories in the
same process which all have different values for this setting. So using
a single global variable to track it is plain wrong.
Remove the global variable. Instead, we now provide a new function part
of the repo-settings subsystem that parses the value for a specific
repository. While that may require us to read the value multiple times,
we work around this by reading it once when the ref backends are set up
and caching the value there.

The object format for repositories can either be configured explicitly
by passing the `--object-format=` option to git-init(1) or git-clone(1),
or globally by setting the `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH` environment variable.
While the former makes sense, setting random environment variables is
not really a good user experience in case someone decides to only use
SHA256 repositories.
It is only natural to expect for a user that things like this can also
be configured via their config. As such, introduce a new config
"init.defaultObjectFormat", similar to "init.defaultBranch", that allows
the user to configure the default object format when creating new repos.
The precedence order now is the following, where the first one wins:
1. The `--object-format=` switch.
2. The `GIT_DEFAULT_HASH` environment variable.
3. The `init.defaultObjectFormat` config variable.
This matches the typical precedence order we use in Git. We typically
let the environment override the config such that the latter can easily
be overridden on an ephemeral basis, for example by scripts.

The configuration of repository formats is split up across two functions
`validate_hash_algorithm()` and `validate_ref_storage_format()`. This is
fine as-is, but we are about to extend the logic to also read default
values from the config. With the logic split across two functions, we
would either have to pass in additional parameters read from the config,
or read the config multiple times. Both of these options feel a bit
unwieldy.
Merge the code into a new function `repository_format_configure()` that
is responsible for configuring the whole repository's format. Like this,
we can easily read the config in a single place, only.
Furthermore, move the calls to `repo_set_ref_storage_format()` and
`repo_set_hash_algo()` into this new function as well, such that all the
logic to configure the repository format is self-contained here.

The pathname of a repository comes from getcwd() and it could be a
path aliased via symbolic links, e.g., the real directory may be
/home/u/repository but a symbolic link /home/u/repo may point at it,
and the clone request may come as "git clone file:///home/u/repo/"
A request to check if /home/u/repository is safe would be rejected
if the safe.directory configuration allows /home/u/repo/ but not its
alias /home/u/repository/. Normalize the paths configured for the
safe.directory configuration variable before comparing them with the
path being checked.
Two and a half things to note, compared to the previous step to
normalize the actual path of the suspected repository, are:
- A configured safe.directory may be coming from .gitignore in the
home directory that may be shared across machines. The path
meant to match with an entry may not necessarily exist on all of
such machines, so not being able to convert them to real path on
this machine is *not* a condition that is worthy of warning.
Hence, we ignore a path that cannot be converted to a real path.
- A configured safe.directory is essentially a random string that
user throws at us, written completely unrelated to the directory
the current process happens to be in. Hence it makes little
sense to give a non-absolute path. Hence we ignore any
non-absolute paths, except for ".".
- The safe.directory set to "." was once advertised on the list as
a valid workaround for the regression caused by the overly tight
safe.directory check introduced in 2.45.1; we treat it to mean
"if we are at the top level of a repository, it is OK".

The paths given in the safe.directory configuration variable are
allowed to contain "~user" (which interpolates to user's home
directory) and "%(prefix)" (which interpolates to the installation
location in RUNTIME_PREFIX-enabled builds, and a call to the
git_config_pathname() function is tasked to obtain a copy of the
path with these constructs interpolated.
The function, when it succeeds, always yields an allocated string in
the location given as the out-parameter; even when there is nothing
to interpolate in the original, a literal copy is made. The code
path that contains this caller somehow made two contradicting and
incorrect assumptions of the behaviour when there is no need for
interpolation, and was written with extra defensiveness against
two phantom risks that do not exist.
One wrong assumption was that the function might yield NULL when
there is no interpolation. This led to the use of an extra "check"
variable, conditionally holding either the interpolated or the
original string. The assumption was with us since 8959555c
(setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level
directory, 2022-03-02) originally introduced the safe.directory
feature.
Another wrong assumption was that the function might yield the same
pointer as the input when there is no interpolation. This led to a
conditional free'ing of the interpolated copy, that the conditional
never skipped, as we always received an allocated string.
Simplify the code by removing the extra defensiveness.

all other paths are normalized, which has been corrected. This still
does not address the case where core.precomposeUnicode configuration
is not defined globally.

Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.
