pack-bitmap.c: ensure pseudo-merge offset reads are bounded
Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt: add missing position table

pack-bitmap.c: ensure pseudo-merge offset reads are bounded
After reading the pseudo-merge extension's metadata table, we allocate
an array to store information about each pseudo-merge, including its
byte offset within the .bitmap file itself.
This is done like so:
pseudo_merge_ofs = index_end - 24 -
(index->pseudo_merges.nr * sizeof(uint64_t));
for (i = 0; i < index->pseudo_merges.nr; i++) {
index->pseudo_merges.v[i].at = get_be64(pseudo_merge_ofs);
pseudo_merge_ofs += sizeof(uint64_t);
}
But if the pseudo-merge table is corrupt, we'll keep calling get_be64()
past the end of the pseudo-merge extension, potentially reading off the
end of the mmap'd region.
Prevent this by ensuring that we have at least `table_size - 24` many
bytes available to read (adding 24 to the left-hand side of our
inequality to account for the length of the metadata component).
This is sufficient to prevent us from reading off the end of the
pseudo-merge extension, and ensures that all of the get_be64() calls
below are in bounds.

Documentation/technical/bitmap-format.txt: add missing position table
While investigating a benign Coverity warning on the new pseudo-merge
implementation, I was struggling to understand the (paraphrased) below:
ofs = index_end - 24 - (index->pseudo_merges.nr * sizeof(uint64_t));
for (i = 0; i < index->pseudo_merges.nr; i++) {
index->pseudo_merges.v[i].at = get_be64(ofs);
ofs += sizeof(uint64_t);
}
, in pack-bitmap.c::load_bitmap_header(). Looking at the documentation,
the diagram describing the on-disk format (prior to this patch)
suggested that the optional extended lookup table immediately preceded
the trailing metadata portion.
If that were the case, that would make the above code from
load_bitmap_header() incorrect, as we'd be blindly reading into the
extended offset table.
But later on in the documentation there is a description of the
pseudo-merge position table as immediately preceding the trailing
metadata portion of the extension. And indeed, we do write the position
table in pack-bitmap-write.c:
/* write positions for all pseudo merges */
for (i = 0; i < writer->pseudo_merges_nr; i++)
hashwrite_be64(f, pseudo_merge_ofs[i]);
hashwrite_be32(f, writer->pseudo_merges_nr);
hashwrite_be32(f, kh_size(writer->pseudo_merge_commits));
hashwrite_be64(f, table_start - start);
hashwrite_be64(f, hashfile_total(f) - start + sizeof(uint64_t));
So this is purely a case of the diagram being out of sync with the
textual description and actual implementation of the format
specification.
Add the missing component back to the format diagram to avoid further
confusion in this area.

BreakingChanges: document that we do not plan to deprecate git-checkout
The git-checkout(1) command is seen by many as hard to understand
because it connects two somewhat unrelated features: switching between
branches and restoring worktree files from arbitrary revisions. In 2019,
we thus implemented two new commands git-switch(1) and git-restore(1) to
split out these separate concerns into standalone functions.
This "replacement" of git-checkout(1) has repeatedly triggered concerns
for our userbase that git-checkout(1) will eventually go away. This is
not the case though: the use of that command is still widespread, and it
is not expected that this will change anytime soon.
Document that all three commands will remain for the foreseeable future.
This decision may be revisited in case we ever figure out that most
everyone has given up on any of the commands.

BreakingChanges: document removal of grafting
The grafting mechanism for objects has been deprecated in e650d0643b
(docs: mark info/grafts as outdated, 2014-03-05), which is more than a
decade ago. The mechanism can lead to hard-to-debug issues and has a
superior replacement with replace refs.
Follow through with the deprecation and mark grafts for removal in Git
3.0.

BreakingChanges: document upcoming change from "sha1" to "sha256"
Starting with 8e42eb0e9a (doc: sha256 is no longer experimental,
2023-07-31), the "sha256" object format is no longer considered to be
experimental. Furthermore, the SHA-1 hash function is actively
recommended against by for example NIST and FIPS 140-2, and attacks
against it are becoming more practical both due to new weaknesses
(SHAppening, SHAttered, Shambles) and due to the ever-increasing
computing power. It is only a matter of time before it can be considered
to be broken completely.
Let's plan for this event by being active instead of waiting for it to
happend and announce that the default object format is going to change
from "sha1" to "sha256" with Git 3.0.
All major Git implementations (libgit2, JGit, go-git) support the
"sha256" object format and are thus prepared for this change. The most
important missing piece in the puzzle is support in forges. But while
GitLab recently gained experimental support for the "sha256" object
format though, to the best of my knowledge GitHub doesn't support it
yet. Ideally, announcing this upcoming change will encourage forges to
start building that support.

docs: introduce document to announce breaking changes
Over time, Git has grown quite a lot. With this evolution, many ideas
that were sensible at the time they were introduced are not anymore and
are thus considered to be deprecated. And while some deprecations may be
noted in manpages, most of them are actually deprecated in the "hive
mind" of the Git community, only.
Introduce a new document that tracks such breaking changes, but also
deprecations which we are not willing to go through with, to address
this issue. This document serves multiple purposes:
- It is a way to facilitate discussion around proposed deprecations.
- It allows users to learn about deprecations and speak up in case
they have good reasons why a certain feature should not be
deprecated.
- It states intent and documents where the Git project wants to go,
both in the case where we want to deprecate, but also in the case
where we don't want to deprecate a specific feature.
The document is _not_ intended to cast every single discussion into
stone. It is supposed to be a living document that may change over time
when there are good reasons for it to change.

t/: migrate helper/test-oidtree.c to unit-tests/t-oidtree.c
helper/test-oidtree.c along with t0069-oidtree.sh test the oidtree.h
library, which is a wrapper around crit-bit tree. Migrate them to
the unit testing framework for better debugging and runtime
performance. Along with the migration, add an extra check for
oidtree_each() test, which showcases how multiple expected matches can
be given to check_each() helper.
To achieve this, introduce a new library called 'lib-oid.h'
exclusively for the unit tests to use. It currently mainly includes
utility to generate object_id from an arbitrary hex string
(i.e. '12a' -> '12a0000000000000000000000000000000000000'). This also
handles the hash algo selection based on GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH.
This library will also be helpful when we port other unit tests such
as oid-array, oidset etc.

object-name: don't try to abbreviate to lengths greater than hexsz
When given a length that equals the current hash algorithm's hex size,
then `repo_find_unique_abbrev_r()` exits early without trying to find an
abbreviation. This is only sensible because there is nothing to
abbreviate in the first place, so searching through objects to find a
unique prefix would be a waste of compute.
What we don't handle though is the case where the user passes a length
greater than the hash length. This is fine in practice as we still
compute the correct result. But at the very least, this is a waste of
resources as we try to abbreviate a value that cannot be abbreviated,
which causes us to hit the object database.
Start to explicitly handle values larger than hexsz to avoid this
performance penalty, which leads to a measureable speedup. The following
benchmark has been executed in linux.git:
Benchmark 1: git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit (revision = HEAD~)
Time (mean ± σ): 12.812 s ± 0.040 s [User: 12.225 s, System: 0.554 s]
Range (min … max): 12.723 s … 12.857 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit (revision = HEAD)
Time (mean ± σ): 11.095 s ± 0.029 s [User: 10.546 s, System: 0.521 s]
Range (min … max): 11.037 s … 11.122 s 10 runs
Summary
git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit HEAD (revision = HEAD) ran
1.15 ± 0.00 times faster than git -c core.abbrev=9000 log --abbrev-commit HEAD (revision = HEAD~)

parse-options-cb: stop clamping "--abbrev=" to hash length
The `OPT__ABBREV()` option allows the user to specify the length that
object hashes shall be abbreviated to. This length needs to be in the
range of `(MIN_ABBREV, the_hash_algo->hexsz)`, which is why we clamp the
value as required. While this makes sense in the case of `MIN_ABBREV`,
it is unnecessary for the upper boundary as the value is eventually
passed down to `repo_find_unnique_abbrev_r()`, which handles values
larger than the current hash length just fine.
In the preceding commit, we have changed parsing of the "core.abbrev"
config to stop clamping to the upper boundary. Let's do the same here so
that the code becomes simpler, we are consistent with how we treat the
"core.abbrev" config and so that we stop depending on `the_repository`.

config: fix segfault when parsing "core.abbrev" without repo
The "core.abbrev" config allows the user to specify the minimum length
when abbreviating object hashes. Next to the values "auto" and "no",
this config also accepts a concrete length that needs to be bigger or
equal to the minimum length and smaller or equal to the hash algorithm's
hex length. While the former condition is trivial, the latter depends on
the object format used by the current repository. It is thus a variable
upper boundary that may either be 40 (SHA-1) or 64 (SHA-256).
This has two major downsides. First, the user that specifies this config
must be aware of the object hashes that its repository use. If they want
to configure the value globally, then they cannot pick any value in the
range `[41, 64]` if they have any repository that uses SHA-1. If they
did, Git would error out when parsing the config.
Second, and more importantly, parsing "core.abbrev" crashes when outside
of a Git repository because we dereference `the_hash_algo` to figure out
its hex length. Starting with c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1
as the default object hash, 2024-05-07) though, we stopped initializing
`the_hash_algo` outside of Git repositories.
Fix both of these issues by not making it an error anymore when the
given length exceeds the hash length. Instead, leave the abbreviated
length intact. `repo_find_unique_abbrev_r()` handles this just fine
except for a performance penalty which we will fix in a subsequent
commit.

Makefile: add ability to append to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS
There are some usecases where we may want to append CFLAGS to the
default CFLAGS set by Git. This could for example be to enable or
disable specific compiler warnings or to change the optimization level
that code is compiled with. This cannot be done without overriding the
complete CFLAGS value though and thus requires the user to redeclare the
complete defaults used by Git.
Introduce a new variable `CFLAGS_APPEND` that gets appended to the
default value of `CFLAGS`. As compiler options are last-one-wins, this
fulfills both of the usecases mentioned above. It's also common practice
across many other projects to have such a variable.
While at it, also introduce a matching `LDFLAGS_APPEND` variable. While
there isn't really any need for this variable as there are no default
`LDFLAGS`, users may expect this variable to exist, as well.

pack-revindex.c: guard against out-of-bounds pack lookups
The function midx_key_to_pack_pos() is a helper function used by
midx_to_pack_pos() and midx_pair_to_pack_pos() to translate a (pack,
offset) tuple into a position into the MIDX pseudo-pack order.
Ensure that the pack ID given to midx_pair_to_pack_pos() is bounded by
the number of packs within the MIDX to prevent, for instance,
uninitialized memory from being used as a pack ID.

pack-bitmap.c: avoid uninitialized `pack_int_id` during reuse
When performing multi-pack reuse, reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()
is responsible for generating an array of bitmapped_pack structs from
which to perform reuse.
In the multi-pack case, we loop over the MIDXs packs and copy the result
of calling `nth_bitmapped_pack()` to construct the list of reusable
paths.
But we may also want to do pack-reuse over a single pack, either because
we only had one pack to perform reuse over (in the case of single-pack
bitmaps), or because we explicitly asked to do single pack reuse even
with a MIDX[^1].
When this is the case, the array we generate of reusable packs contains
only a single element, which is either (a) the pack attached to the
single-pack bitmap, or (b) the MIDX's preferred pack.
In 795006fff4 (pack-bitmap: gracefully handle missing BTMP chunks,
2024-04-15), we refactored the reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap()
function and stopped assigning the pack_int_id field when reusing only
the MIDX's preferred pack. This results in an uninitialized read down in
try_partial_reuse() like so:
==7474==WARNING: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value
#0 0x55c5cd191dde in try_partial_reuse pack-bitmap.c:1887:8
#1 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap_1 pack-bitmap.c:2001:8
#2 0x55c5cd191dde in reuse_partial_packfile_from_bitmap pack-bitmap.c:2105:3
#3 0x55c5cce0bd0e in get_object_list_from_bitmap builtin/pack-objects.c:4043:3
#4 0x55c5cce0bd0e in get_object_list builtin/pack-objects.c:4156:27
#5 0x55c5cce0bd0e in cmd_pack_objects builtin/pack-objects.c:4596:3
#6 0x55c5ccc8fac8 in run_builtin git.c:474:11
which happens when try_partial_reuse() tries to call
midx_pair_to_pack_pos() when it tries to reject cross-pack deltas.
Avoid the uninitialized read by ensuring that the pack_int_id field is
set in the single-pack reuse case by setting it to either the MIDX
preferred pack's pack_int_id, or '-1', in the case of single-pack
bitmaps. In the latter case, we never read the pack_int_id field, so
the choice of '-1' is intentional as a "garbage in, garbage out"
measure.
Guard against further regressions in this area by adding a test which
ensures that we do not throw out deltas from the preferred pack as
"cross-pack" due to an uninitialized pack_int_id.
[^1]: This can happen for a couple of reasons, either because the
repository is configured with 'pack.allowPackReuse=(true|single)', or
because the MIDX was generated prior to the introduction of the BTMP
chunk, which contains information necessary to perform multi-pack
reuse.

midx-write.c: do not read existing MIDX with `packs_to_include`
Commit d6a8c58675 (midx-write.c: support reading an existing MIDX with
`packs_to_include`, 2024-05-29) changed the MIDX generation machinery to
support reading from an existing MIDX when writing a new one.
Unfortunately, the rest of the MIDX generation machinery is not prepared
to deal with such a change. For instance, the function responsible for
adding to the object ID fanout table from a MIDX source
(midx_fanout_add_midx_fanout()) will gladly add objects from an existing
MIDX for some fanout level regardless of whether or not those objects
came from packs that are to be included in the subsequent MIDX write.
This results in broken pseudo-pack object order (leading to incorrect
object traversal results) and segmentation faults, like so (generated by
running the added test prior to the changes in midx-write.c):
#0 0x000055ee31393f47 in midx_pack_order (ctx=0x7ffdde205c70) at midx-write.c:590
#1 0x000055ee31395a69 in write_midx_internal (object_dir=0x55ee32570440 ".git/objects",
packs_to_include=0x7ffdde205e20, packs_to_drop=0x0, preferred_pack_name=0x0,
refs_snapshot=0x0, flags=15) at midx-write.c:1171
#2 0x000055ee31395f38 in write_midx_file_only (object_dir=0x55ee32570440 ".git/objects",
packs_to_include=0x7ffdde205e20, preferred_pack_name=0x0, refs_snapshot=0x0, flags=15)
at midx-write.c:1274
[...]
In stack frame #0, the code on midx-write.c:590 is using the new pack ID
corresponding to some object which was added from the existing MIDX.
Importantly, the pack from which that object was selected in the
existing MIDX does not appear in the new MIDX as it was excluded via
`--stdin-packs`.
In this instance, the pack in question had pack ID "1" in the existing
MIDX, but since it was excluded from the new MIDX, we never filled in
that entry in the pack_perm table, resulting in:
(gdb) p *ctx->pack_perm@2
$1 = {0, 1515870810}
Which is what causes the segfault above when we try and read:
struct pack_info *pack = &ctx->info[ctx->pack_perm[i]];
if (pack->bitmap_pos == BITMAP_POS_UNKNOWN)
pack->bitmap_pos = 0;
Fundamentally, we should be able to read information from an existing
MIDX when generating a new one. But in practice the midx-write.c code
assumes that we won't run into issues like the above with incongruent
pack IDs, and often makes those assumptions in extremely subtle and
fragile ways.
Instead, let's avoid reading from an existing MIDX altogether, and stick
with the pre-d6a8c58675 implementation. Harden against any regressions
in this area by adding a test which demonstrates these issues.

diff: let external diffs report that changes are uninteresting
The options --exit-code and --quiet instruct git diff to indicate
whether it found any significant changes by exiting with code 1 if it
did and 0 if there were none. Currently this doesn't work if external
diff programs are involved, as we have no way to learn what they found.
Add that ability in the form of the new configuration options
diff.trustExitCode and diff.<driver>.trustExitCode and the environment
variable GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF_TRUST_EXIT_CODE. They pair with the config
options diff.external and diff.<driver>.command and the environment
variable GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF, respectively.
The new options are off by default, keeping the old behavior. Enabling
them indicates that the external diff returns exit code 1 if it finds
significant changes and 0 if it doesn't, like diff(1).
The name of the new options is taken from the git difftool and mergetool
options of similar purpose. (There they enable passing on the exit code
of a diff tool and to infer whether a merge done by a merge tool is
successful.)
The new feature sets the diff flag diff_from_contents in
diff_setup_done() if we need the exit code and are allowed to call
external diffs. This disables the optimization that avoids calling the
program with --quiet. Add it back by skipping the call if the external
diff is not able to report empty diffs. We can only do that check after
evaluating the file-specific attributes in run_external_diff().
If we do run the external diff with --quiet, send its output to
/dev/null.
I considered checking the output of the external diff to check whether
its empty. It was added as 11be65cfa4 (diff: fix --exit-code with
external diff, 2024-05-05) and quickly reverted, as it does not work
with external diffs that do not write to stdout. There's no reason why
a graphical diff tool would even need to write anything there at all.
I also considered using a non-zero exit code for empty diffs, which
could be done without adding new configuration options. We'd need to
disable the optimization that allows git diff --quiet to skip calling
external diffs, though -- that might be quite surprising if graphical
diff programs are involved. And assigning the opposite meaning of the
exit codes compared to diff(1) and git diff --exit-code to the external
diff can cause unnecessary confusion.

Use a designated initializer for the default builtin userdiff driver to

t4020: test exit code with external diffs
Add tests to check the exit code of git diff with its options --quiet
and --exit-code when using an external diff program. Currently we
cannot tell whether it found significant changes or not.
While at it, document briefly that --quiet turns off execution of
external diff programs because that behavior surprised me for a moment
while writing the tests.

__attribute__: remove redundant attribute declaration for git_die_config()
The convention is to declare the function attribute to an extern
function together with its declaration in the header file, without
repeating the attribute declaration with its definition in the .c
source file (a file-scope static function declares its attribute
together with its definition in the .c file it is defined, as there
is no other place to do so).
The definition of git_die_config() in config.c did not follow the
convention and had its attribute declared with both its declaration
in the header and its definition in the .c source file.
Remove the one in the config.c to match everybody else.

format-patch: assume --cover-letter for diff in multi-patch series
When we deal with a multi-patch series in git-format-patch(1), if we see
`--interdiff` or `--range-diff` but no `--cover-letter`, we return with
an error, saying:
fatal: --range-diff requires --cover-letter or single patch
or:
fatal: --interdiff requires --cover-letter or single patch
This makes sense because the cover-letter is where we place the diff
from the previous version.
However, considering that `format-patch` generates a multi-patch as
needed, let's adopt a similar "cover as necessary" approach when using
`--interdiff` or `--range-diff`.
Therefore, relax the requirement for an explicit `--cover-letter` in a
multi-patch series when the user says `--iterdiff` or `--range-diff`.
Still, if only to return the error, respect "format.coverLetter=no" and
`--no-cover-letter`.

imap-send: free all_msgs strbuf in "out" label
We read stdin into a strbuf, but most code paths never release it,
causing a leak (albeit a minor one, as we leak only when exiting from
the main function of the program).
Commit 56f4f4a29d (imap-send: minimum leakfix, 2024-06-04) did the
minimum to plug the one instance we see in the test suite, when we read
an empty input. But it was sufficient only because aside from this noop
invocation, we don't test imap-send at all!
The right spot to free is in the "out" label, which is hit by all code
paths before leaving the function. We couldn't do that in 56f4f4a29d
because there was no unified exit path. That came separately in
3aca5f7fb0 (imap-send: fix leaking memory in `imap_server_conf`,
2024-06-04), which cleaned up many other leaks (but not this one).

config.mak.dev: enable `-Wwrite-strings` warning
Writing to string constants is undefined behaviour and must be avoided
in C. Even so, the compiler does not help us with this by default
because those constants are not in fact marked as `const`. This makes it
rather easy to accidentally assign a constant to a non-const variable or
field and then later on try to either free it or write to it.
Enable `-Wwrite-strings` to catch such mistakes. With this warning
enabled, the type of string constants is changed to `const char[]` and
will thus cause compiler warnings when being assigned to non-const
fields and variables.

builtin/rebase: always store allocated string in `options.strategy`
The `struct rebase_options::strategy` field is a `char *`, but we do end
up assigning string constants to it in two cases:
- When being passed a `--strategy=` option via the command line.
- When being passed a strategy option via `--strategy-option=`, but
not a strategy.
This will cause warnings once we enable `-Wwrite-strings`.
Ideally, we'd just convert the field to be a `const char *`. But we also
assign to this field via the GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM envvar, which we
have to strdup(3P) into it.
Instead, refactor the code to make sure that we only ever assign
allocated strings to this field.

revision: always store allocated strings in output encoding
The `git_log_output_encoding` variable can be set via the `--encoding=`
option. When doing so, we conditionally either assign it to the passed
value, or if the value is "none" we assign it the empty string.
Depending on which of the both code paths we pick though, the variable
may end up being assigned either an allocated string or a string
constant.
This is somewhat risky and may easily lead to bugs when a different code
path may want to reassign a new value to it, freeing the previous value.
We already to this when parsing the "i18n.logoutputencoding" config in
`git_default_i18n_config()`. But because the config is typically parsed
before we parse command line options this has been fine so far.
Regardless of that, safeguard the code such that the variable always
contains an allocated string. While at it, also free the old value in
case there was any to plug a potential memory leak.

remote-curl: avoid assigning string constant to non-const variable
When processing remote options, we split the option line into two by
searching for a space. If there is one, we replace the space with '\0',
otherwise we implicitly assume that the value is "true" and thus assign
a string constant.
As the return value of strchr(3P) weirdly enough is a `char *` even
though it gets a `const char *` as input, the assigned-to variable also
is a non-constant. This is fine though because the argument is in fact
an allocated string, and thus we are allowed to modify it. But this will
break once we enable `-Wwrite-strings`.
Refactor the code stop splitting the fields with '\0' altogether.
Instead, we can pass the length of the option name to `set_option()` and
then use strncmp(3P) instead of strcmp(3P).

entry: refactor how we remove items for delayed checkouts
When finalizing a delayed checkout, we sort out several strings from the
passed-in string list by first assigning the empty string to those
filters and then calling `string_list_remove_empty_items()`. Assigning
the empty string will cause compiler warnings though as the string is
a `char *` once we enable `-Wwrite-strings`.
Refactor the code to use a `NULL` pointer with `filter_string_list()`
instead to avoid this warning.

line-log: always allocate the output prefix
The returned string by `output_prefix()` is sometimes a string constant
and sometimes an allocated string. This has been fine until now because
we always leak the allocated strings, and thus we never tried to free
the string constant.
Fix the code to always return an allocated string and free the returned
value at all callsites.

line-log: stop assigning string constant to file parent buffer
Stop assigning a string constant to the file parent buffer and instead
assign an allocated string. While the code is fine in practice, it will
break once we compile with `-Wwrite-strings`.

update-ref: add support for 'symref-update' command
Add 'symref-update' command to the '--stdin' mode of 'git-update-ref' to
allow updates of symbolic refs. The 'symref-update' command takes in a
<new-target>, which the <ref> will be updated to. If the <ref> doesn't
exist it will be created.
It also optionally takes either an `ref <old-target>` or `oid
<old-oid>`. If the <old-target> is provided, it checks to see if the
<ref> targets the <old-target> before the update. If <old-oid> is provided
it checks <ref> to ensure that it is a regular ref and <old-oid> is the
OID before the update. This by extension also means that this when a
zero <old-oid> is provided, it ensures that the ref didn't exist before.
The divergence in syntax from the regular `update` command is because if
we don't use a `(ref | oid)` prefix for the old_value, then there is
ambiguity around if the value provided should be treated as an oid or a
reference. This is more so the reason, because we allow anything
committish to be provided as an oid. While 'symref-verify' and
'symref-delete' also take in `<old-target>` we do not have this
divergence there as those commands only work with symrefs. Whereas
'symref-update' also works with regular refs and allows users to convert
regular refs to symrefs.
The command allows users to perform symbolic ref updates within a
transaction. This provides atomicity and allows users to perform a set
of operations together.
This command supports deref mode, to ensure that we can update
dereferenced regular refs to symrefs.

reftable: pick either 'oid' or 'target' for new updates
When creating a reference transaction update, we can provide the old/new
oid/target for the update. We have checks in place to ensure that for
each old/new, either oid or target is set and not both.
In the reftable backend, when dealing with updates without the
`REF_NO_DEREF` flag, we don't selectively propagate data as needed.
Since there are no active users of the path, this is not caught. As we
want to introduce the 'symref-update' command in the upcoming commit,
which would use this flow, correct it.

update-ref: add support for 'symref-create' command
Add 'symref-create' command to the '--stdin' mode 'git-update-ref' to
allow creation of symbolic refs in a transaction. The 'symref-create'
command takes in a <new-target>, which the created <ref> will point to.
Also, support the 'core.prefersymlinkrefs' config, wherein if the config
is set and the filesystem supports symlinks, we create the symbolic ref
as a symlink. We fallback to creating a regular symref if creating the
symlink is unsuccessful.

update-ref: add support for 'symref-delete' command
Add a new command 'symref-delete' to allow deletions of symbolic refs in
a transaction via the '--stdin' mode of the 'git-update-ref' command.
The 'symref-delete' command can, when given an <old-target>, delete the
provided <ref> only when it points to <old-target>.
This command is only compatible with the 'no-deref' mode because we
optionally want to check the 'old_target' of the ref being deleted.
De-referencing a symbolic ref would provide a regular ref and we already
have the 'delete' command for regular refs.
While users can also use 'git symbolic-ref -d' to delete symbolic refs,
the 'symref-delete' command in 'git-update-ref' allows users to do so
within a transaction, which promises atomicity of the operation and can
be batched with other commands.
When no 'old_target' is provided it can also delete regular refs,
similar to how the 'delete' command can delete symrefs when no 'old_oid'
is provided.

update-ref: add support for 'symref-verify' command
The 'symref-verify' command allows users to verify if a provided <ref>
contains the provided <old-target> without changing the <ref>. If
<old-target> is not provided, the command will verify that the <ref>
doesn't exist.
The command allows users to verify symbolic refs within a transaction,
and this means users can perform a set of changes in a transaction only
when the verification holds good.
Since we're checking for symbolic refs, this command will only work with
the 'no-deref' mode. This is because any dereferenced symbolic ref will
point to an object and not a ref and the regular 'verify' command can be
used in such situations.
Add required tests for symref support in 'verify'. Since we're here,
also add reflog checks for the pre-existing 'verify' tests, there is no
divergence from behavior, but we never tested to ensure that reflog
wasn't affected by the 'verify' command.

refs: specify error for regular refs with `old_target`
When a reference update tries to update a symref, but the ref in
question is actually a regular ref, we raise an error. However the error
raised in this situation is:
verifying symref target: '<ref>': reference is missing but expected <old-target>
which is very generic and doesn't indicate the mismatch of types. Let's
make this error more specific:
cannot lock ref '<ref>': expected symref with target '<old-target>': but is a regular ref
so that users have a clearer understanding.
