The commit 76e760b (refs: introduce enum-based transaction error
types, 2025-04-08) introduced enum-based transaction error types. The
refs transaction logic was also modified to propagate these errors. For
clients of the ref transaction system, it would be beneficial to provide
human readable messages for these errors.

There is already an existing mapping in 'builtin/update-ref.c', move it
to 'refs.c' as `ref_transaction_error_msg()` and use the same within the
'builtin/update-ref.c'.

The reference updates performed as a part of 'git-fetch(1)', take place
one at a time. For each reference update, a new transaction is created
and committed. This is necessary to ensure we can allow individual
updates to fail without failing the entire command. The command also
supports an '--atomic' mode, which uses a single transaction to update
all of the references. But this mode has an all-or-nothing approach,
where if a single update fails, all updates would fail.

In 23fc8e4 (refs: implement batch reference update support,
2025-04-08), we introduced a new mechanism to batch reference updates.
Under the hood, this uses a single transaction to perform a batch of
reference updates, while allowing only individual updates to fail.
Utilize this newly introduced batch update mechanism in 'git-fetch(1)'.
This provides a significant bump in performance, especially when dealing
with repositories with large number of references.

Adding support for batched updates is simply modifying the flow to also
create a batch update transaction in the non-atomic flow.

With the reftable backend there is a 22x performance improvement, when
performing 'git-fetch(1)' with 10000 refs:

  Benchmark 1: fetch: many refs (refformat = reftable, refcount = 10000, revision = master)
    Time (mean ± σ):      3.403 s ±  0.775 s    [User: 1.875 s, System: 1.417 s]
    Range (min … max):    2.454 s …  4.529 s    10 runs

  Benchmark 2: fetch: many refs (refformat = reftable, refcount = 10000, revision = HEAD)
    Time (mean ± σ):     154.3 ms ±  17.6 ms    [User: 102.5 ms, System: 56.1 ms]
    Range (min … max):   145.2 ms … 220.5 ms    18 runs

  Summary
    fetch: many refs (refformat = reftable, refcount = 10000, revision = HEAD) ran
     22.06 ± 5.62 times faster than fetch: many refs (refformat = reftable, refcount = 10000, revision = master)

In similar conditions, the files backend sees a 1.25x performance
improvement:

  Benchmark 1: fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 10000, revision = master)
    Time (mean ± σ):     605.5 ms ±   9.4 ms    [User: 117.8 ms, System: 483.3 ms]
    Range (min … max):   595.6 ms … 621.5 ms    10 runs

  Benchmark 2: fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 10000, revision = HEAD)
    Time (mean ± σ):     485.8 ms ±   4.3 ms    [User: 91.1 ms, System: 396.7 ms]
    Range (min … max):   477.6 ms … 494.3 ms    10 runs

  Summary
    fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 10000, revision = HEAD) ran
      1.25 ± 0.02 times faster than fetch: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 10000, revision = master)

With this we'll either be using a regular transaction or a batch update
transaction. This helps cleanup some code which is no longer needed as
we'll now always have some type of 'ref_transaction' object being
propagated.

One big change is that earlier, each individual update would propagate a
failure. Whereas now, the `ref_transaction_for_each_rejected_update`
function is called at the end of the flow to capture the exit status for
'git-fetch(1)' and also to print F/D conflict errors. This does change
the order of the errors being printed, but the behavior stays the same.

Since transaction errors are now explicitly defined as part of
76e760b (refs: introduce enum-based transaction error types,
2025-04-08), utilize them and get rid of custom errors defined within
'builtin/fetch.c'.

The 'git-send-pack(1)' allows users to push objects to a remote
repository and explicitly list the references to be pushed. The status
of each reference pushed is captured into a list mapped by refname.

If a reference fails to be updated, its error message is captured in the
`ref->remote_status` field. While the command allows duplicate ref
inputs, the list doesn't accommodate this behavior as a particular
refname is linked to a single `struct ref*` element. So if the user
inputs a reference twice like:

  git send-pack remote.git A:foo B:foo

where the user is trying to update the same reference 'foo' twice and
the reference fails to be updated, we first fill `ref->remote_status`
with error message for the input 'A:foo' then we override the same field
with the error message for 'B:foo'. This override happens without first
free'ing the previous value. Fix this leak.

The current tests already incorporate the above example, but in the test
'A:foo' succeeds while 'B:foo' fails, meaning that the memory leak isn't
triggered. Add a new test with multiple duplicates.

The reference updates performed as a part of 'git-receive-pack(1)', take
place one at a time. For each reference update, a new transaction is
created and committed. This is necessary to ensure we can allow
individual updates to fail without failing the entire command. The
command also supports an 'atomic' mode, which uses a single transaction
to update all of the references. But this mode has an all-or-nothing
approach, where if a single update fails, all updates would fail.

In 23fc8e4 (refs: implement batch reference update support,

Under the hood, this uses a single transaction to perform a batch of
reference updates, while allowing only individual updates to fail.
Utilize this newly introduced batch update mechanism in
'git-receive-pack(1)'. This provides a significant bump in performance,
especially when dealing with repositories with large number of
references.

With the reftable backend there is a 18x performance improvement, when
performing receive-pack with 10000 refs:

    Range (min … max):   228.5 ms … 254.2 ms    11 runs

    Range (min … max):   903.1 ms … 978.0 ms    10 runs

  Summary
    receive: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 10000, revision = HEAD) ran
      1.21 ± 0.04 times faster than receive: many refs (refformat = files, refcount = 10000, revision = master)

As using batched updates requires the error handling to be moved to the
end of the flow, create and use a 'struct strset' to track the failed
refs and attribute the correct errors to them.

This change also uncovers an issue when a client provides multiple
updates to the same reference. For example:

  $ git send-pack remote.git A:foo B:foo
  Enumerating objects: 3, done.
  Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done.
  Delta compression using up to 20 threads
  Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
  Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 226 bytes | 226.00 KiB/s, done.
  Total 3 (delta 1), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 (from 0)
  remote: error: cannot lock ref 'refs/heads/foo': reference already exists
  To remote.git
   ! [remote rejected] A -> foo (failed to update ref)
   ! [remote failure]  B -> foo (remote failed to report status)

As you can see, the remote runs into an error because it cannot lock the
target reference for the second update. Furthermore, the remote complains
that the first update has been rejected whereas the second update didn't
receive any status update because we failed to lock it. Reading this status
message alone a user would probably expect that `foo` has not been updated
at all. But that's not the case: while we claim that the ref wasn't updated,
it surprisingly points to `A` now.

One could argue that this is merely an error in how we report the result of
this push. But ultimately, the user's request itself is already broken and
doesn't make any sense in the first place and cannot ever lead to a sensible
outcome that honors the full request.

The conversion to batched transactions fixes the issue because we now try to
queue both updates in the same transaction. As such, the transaction itself
will notice this conflict and refuse the update altogether before we commit
any of the values.

Note that this requires changes to a couple of tests in t5408 that happened
to exercise this behaviour. Given that the generated output is misleading
and given that the user request cannot ever be fully honored this really
feels more like a bug than properly designed behaviour. As such, changing
the behaviour feels like the right thing to do.

Since now reference updates are batched, the 'reference-transaction'
hook will be invoked with all updates together. Currently git will 'die'
when the hook returns with a non-zero exit status in the 'prepared'
stage. For 'git-receive-pack(1)', this allowed users to reject an
individual reference update, git would have applied previous updates but
immediately abort further execution. This is definitely an incorrect
usage of this hook, since the right place to do this would be the
'update' hook. This patch retains the latter behavior, but
'reference-transaction' hook now changes to a all-or-nothing behavior
when a non-zero exit status is returned in the 'prepared' stage, since
batch updates use a transaction under the hood. This explains the change
in 't1416'.

Function 'diffcmd' derives which of git diff-files, git diff-index, or
git diff-tree must be invoked depending on the ids provided. It puts
the pipe symbol as the first element of the returned command list.

Note though that of the four callers only two use the command with
Tcl 'open' and need the pipe symbol. The other two callers pass the
command to Tcl 'exec' and must remove the pipe symbol.

Do not include the pipe symbol in the constructed command list, but let
the call sites decide whether to add it or not. Note that Tcl 'open'
inspects only the first character of the command list, which is also
the first character of the first element in the list. For this reason,
it is valid to just tack on the pipe symbol with |$cmd and it is not
necessary to use [concat | $cmd].

Tcl 'exec' assigns special meaning to its argument when they begin with
redirection, pipe or background operator. There are a number of
invocations of 'exec' which construct arguments that are taken from the
Git repository or a user input. However, when file names or ref names
are taken from the repository, it is possible to find names with have
these special forms. They must not be interpreted by 'exec' lest it
redirects input or output, or attempts to build a pipeline using a
command name controlled by the repository.

Introduce a helper function that identifies such arguments and prepends
"./" to force such a name to be regarded as a relative file name.

While "exec" uses a normal arguments list which is applied as
command + arguments (and redirections, etc), "open" uses a single
argument which is this command+arguments, where the command and
arguments are a list inside this one argument to "open".

Commit bb5cb23 (gitk: prevent overly long command lines 2023-05-08)
changed several values from individual arguments in that list (hashes
and file names), to a single value which is fed to git via redirection
to its stdin using "open" [1].

However, it didn't ensure correctly that this aggregate value in this
string is interpreted as a single element in this command+args list.

It did just enough so that newlines (which is how these elements are
concatenated) don't split this single list element.

A followup commit at the same patchset: 7dd272e (gitk: escape file
paths before piping to git log 2023-05-08) added a bit more, by
escaping backslahes and spaces at the file names, so that at least
it doesn't break when such file names get used there.

But these are not enough. At the very least tab is missing, and more,
and trying to manually escape every possible thing which can affect
how this string is interpreted in a list is a sub-par approach.

The solution is simply to tell tcl "this is a single list element".
which we can do by aggregating this value completely normally (hashes
and files separated by newlines), and then do [list $value].

So this is what this commit does, for all 3 places where bb5cb23
changed individual elements into an aggregate value.

[1]
That was not a fully accurate description. The accurate version
is that this string originally included two lists: hashes and files.
When used with "open" these lists correctly become the individual
elements of these lists, even if they contain spaces etc, so the
arguments which were used at this "git" commands were correct.

Commit bb5cb23 couldn't use these two lists as-is, because it needed
to process the individual elements in them (one element per line of
the aggregate value), and the issue is that ensuring this aggregate
is indeed interpreted as a single list element was sub-par.

Note: all the (double) quotes before/after the modification are not
required and with zero effect, even for \n. But this commit preserves
the original quoting form intentionally. It can be cleaned up later.

  git-gui - re-enable use of hook scripts
Since commit d5257fb (git-gui: handle textconv filter on
Windows and in development, 2010-08-07), git-gui will search for a
usable shell if _shellpath is not configured, and on Windows may
resort to using auto_execok to find 'sh'. While this was intended for
development use, checks are insufficient to assure a proper
configuration when deployed where _shellpath is always set, but might
not give a usable shell.

Let's make this more robust by only searching if _shellpath was not
defined, and then using only our restricted search functions.
Furthermore, we should convert to a Windows path on Windows.  Always
check for a valid shell on startup, meaning an absolute path to an
executable, aborting if these conditions are not met.

Commit 7d076d5 (git-gui: handle shell script text filters when
loading for blame, 2011-12-09) added open_cmd_pipe to run text
conversion in support of blame, with special handling for shell
scripts on Windows. To determine whether the command is a shell
script, 'lindex' is used to pick off the first token from the command.
However, cmd is actually a command string taken from .gitconfig
literally and is not necessarily a syntactically correct Tcl list.
Hence, it cannot be processed by 'lindex' and 'lrange' reliably.
Pass the command string to the shell just like on non-Windows
platforms to avoid the potentially incorrect treatment.

A use of 'auto_execok' is removed by this change. This function is
dangerous on Windows, because it searches programs in the current
directory. Delegating the path lookup to the shell is safe, because
/bin/sh and /bin/bash follow POSIX on all platforms, including the
Git for Windows port.

A possible regression is that the old code, given filter command of
'foo', could find 'foo.bat' as a script, and not just bare 'foo', or
'foo.exe'.  This rewrite requires explicitly giving the suffix if it is
not .exe.

This part of Git GUI can be exercised using

    git gui blame -- some.file

while some.file has a textconv filter configured and has unstaged
modifications.

technically ok with auto_execok now.  However, leaving this use of
auto_execok in place will just induce confusion about why a known unsafe
function is being used on Windows. Instead, let's switch to using our
known safe _which function that looks only in $PATH, excluding the
current working directory.

The commit 23fc8e4 (refs: implement batch reference update support,
2025-04-08) introduced support for batched reference updates. This
allows users to batch updates together, while allowing some of the
updates to fail.

Under the hood, batched updates use the reference transaction mechanism.
Each update which fails is marked as such. Any failed updates must be
skipped over in the rest of the code, as they wouldn't apply any more.
In two of the loops within 'files_transaction_finish()' of the files
backend, the failed updates aren't skipped over. This can cause a
SEGFAULT otherwise. Add the missing skips and a test to validate the
same.

In 9d2962a (receive-pack: use batched reference updates, 2025-05-19)
we updated the 'git-receive-pack(1)' command to use batched reference
updates. One edge case which was missed during this implementation was
when a user pushes multiple branches such as:

  delete refs/heads/branch/conflict
  create refs/heads/branch

Before using batched updates, the references would be applied
sequentially and hence no conflicts would arise. With batched updates,
while the first update applies, the second fails due to D/F conflict. A
similar issue was present in 'git-fetch(1)' and was fixed by separating
out reference pruning into a separate transaction in the commit 'fetch:
use batched reference updates'. Apply a similar mechanism for
'git-receive-pack(1)' and separate out reference deletions into its own
batch.

This means 'git-receive-pack(1)' will now use up to two transactions,
whereas before using batched updates it would use _at least_ two
transactions. So using batched updates is still the better option.

Add a test to validate this behavior.

When preparing the latest round of security fixes, we wrote release
notes in v2.43.7, and then successively merged those up through to the
various 'maint' branches.

However, the 2.49 release series is the first to have commit 1f010d6
(doc: use .adoc extension for AsciiDoc files, 2025-01-20). This means
that we should have renamed the new-but-historical release notes from
*.txt to *.adoc during the merge into the 'maint-2.49' branch, but
neglected to do so.

Rename them accordingly to match the convention introduced by
1f010d6. Since the release materials in question here were prepared
before v2.50.0 was tagged, the 'maint' track for that release series is
OK as is.

  Documentation/RelNotes: use .adoc extension for new security releases
In a recent security release, 05e9cd6 (config: quote values
containing CR character, 2025-05-19) added calls to `git config get`,
`git config set`, and `git config unset` which are not present on the
maint-2.43 branch.

These subcommands were added in the following commits, released in
git-2.46.0:

  4e51389 (builtin/config: introduce "get" subcommand, 2024-05-06),
  00bbdde (builtin/config: introduce "set" subcommand, 2024-05-06),
  95ea69c (builtin/config: introduce "unset" subcommand, 2024-05-06)

Revert to the previous `git config` syntax for older maintenance
branches.
