eab5dba (ci: wire up Meson builds, 2024-12-13) added two instances
of a very similar construct

    FAILED_TEST_ARTIFACTS=${TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY:-t}/failed-test-artifacts

one to ci/lib.sh and the other to ci/print-test-failures.sh
Unfortunately, the latter had a typo causing shell to emit "Bad
substitution".  Fix it.

macOS provides a PCRE2 library in base that is not usable and not
configured properly, as it installs a pkgconf module that
points to a non-existent pcre2.h header in /usr/local/include.

Detect that case and if the feature is enabled, try to fallback
to a wrapped subproject through an anonymous dependency, aborting
with an error if that is not possible.

Change the feature to "auto" and print a warning and disable it
if a broken dependency was detected, but to keep consistency
with the cmake build system used on Windows, add a special rule
to re-enable the pcre2 feature by default there.

We added the --early-output feature long ago in cdcefbc (Add
"--early-output" log flag for interactive GUI use, 2007-11-03). The idea
was that GUIs could use it to progressively render a history view,
showing something quick-and-inaccurate at first and then enhancing it
later.

But we never documented it, and it appears never to have been used, even
by the projects which initially expressed interest. There was an RFC
patch for gitk to use it:

  http://public-inbox.org/git/18221.2285.259487.655684@cargo.ozlabs.ibm.com/

but it was never merged. Likewise QGit had a patch in:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/e5bfff550711040225ne67c907r2023b1354c35f35@mail.gmail.com/

but it was never fully merged (to this day, QGit has a commented-out line to
add "--early-output" to the "log" invocation). Searching for other
mentions on the web or forges like github.com turns up nothing.

Meanwhile, the feature has been broken off and on over the years without
anybody noticing (and naturally, there are no tests, either). From 2011
to 2017 the option didn't even turn on via "--early-output"; this was
fixed in e35b6ac (revision.h: turn rev_info.early_output back into an
unsigned int, 2017-06-10).

It worked for a while then, but it does not interact well at all with
commit-graphs (which are turned on by default these days). The main
logic to count early commits is triggered by limit_list(), which we
traditionally invoked when showing output in topo-order (and
--early-output always enables --topo-order). But that changed in
f0d9cc4 (revision.c: begin refactoring --topo-order logic,
2018-11-01). Now when we have generation numbers, we skip limit_list()
entirely, and the early-output code shows no commits, and just the final
header "Final output: 1 done". Which is syntactically OK, but
semantically wrong: that message should give the total number of commits
we're about to show.

So let's drop the feature. It is extra code that is untested and
undocumented, and makes working on the revision machinery more brittle.

Given the history above, it seems unlikely that anybody is using it (or
has used it), and we can drop it without the usual deprecation period.

A gentler option might be to "soft" drop it: keep accepting the option,
have it imply --topo-order as it does now, print "Final output: 1 done",
and then do our regular traversal. That would keep any hypothetical
caller working. But it doesn't seem worth the hassle to me.

Git uses `rebase.autostash` or `merge.autostash` to determine whether a
dirty worktree is allowed during pull. However, this behavior is not
clearly documented, making it difficult for users to discover how to
enable autostash, or causing them to unknowingly enable it. Add new
config option `pull.autostash` along with its documentation and test
cases.

`pull.autostash` provides the same functionality as `rebase.autostash`
and `merge.autostash`, but overrides them when set. If `pull.autostash`
is not set, it falls back to `rebase.autostash` or `merge.autostash`,
depending on the value of `pull.rebase`.

nobody other than "git rev-list" implementation uses it, move it

find_cfg_ent() allocates a struct reflog_expire_entry_option via
FLEX_ALLOC_MEM and inserts it into a linked list in the
reflog_expire_options structure. The entries in this list are never
freed, resulting in a leak in cmd_reflog_expire and the gc reflog expire
maintenance task:

Direct leak of 39 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
    #0 0x7ff975ee6883 in calloc (/lib64/libasan.so.8+0xe6883)

    #15 0x000000444184 in _start (/home/jekeller/libexec/git-core/git+0x444184)

Close this leak by adding a reflog_clear_expire_config() function which
iterates the linked list and frees its elements. Call it upon exit of
cmd_reflog_expire() and reflog_expire_condition().

Add a basic test which covers this leak. While at it, cover the
functionality from commit commit 3cb22b8 (Per-ref reflog expiry
configuration, 2008-06-15). We've had this support for years, but lacked
any tests.

Due to portability concerns, we do not blindly say "It is in [[this
standard]], so we will make liberal use of it" for many features,
and use of C99 language features follow this same principle.  When
we contemplate adopting a language feature that we haven't used in
our codebase, we typically first raise a test balloon, which

 - is a piece of code that exercises the language feature we are
   trying to see if it is OK to adopt

 - is in a small section of code that we know everybody who cares
   about having a working Git must be compiling

 - is in a fairly stable part of the code, to allow reverting it
   easily if some platforms do not understand it yet.

After a few years, with no breakage report from the community, we'd
declare that the feature is now safe to use in our codebase.  Before
that, we forbid the use of the language construct except for the
designated test balloon code site.

The CodingGuidelines document lists these selected features that we
already have determined that they are safe, and also those features
that we know some platforms had trouble with.

Let's also start listing ongoing test balloons and expected timeline
for adoption.  Recently phillip proposed to adopt the syntax to
spell a structure literally (i.e. compound literal) with a new test
balloon, which Patrick made redundant by pointing out an existing
one we had already.but without documenting it.  Start the new section
with an entry for that test balloon.

Helper functions defined in `t/unit-tests/lib-reftable.{c,h}` are
required for the reftable-related test files to run. In the current
implementation these functions are designed to conform with our
homegrown unit-testing structure. So in other to convert the reftable
test files, there is need for a clar specific implementation of these
helper functions.

Implement equivalent helper functions in `lib-reftable-clar.{c,h}` to
use clar. These functions conform with the clar testing framework and
become available for all reftable-related test files implemented using
the clar testing framework, which requires them. This will be used by
subsequent commits.

The old `lib-reftable.{c,h}` implemented helper functions for our
homegrown unit-testing framework. As part of migrating reftable-related
tests to the Clar framework, Clar-specific versions of these functions
in `lib-reftable-clar.{c,h}` were introduced.

Now that all test files using these helpers have been converted to Clar,
we can safely remove the original `lib-reftable.{c,h}` and rename the
Clar- specific versions back to `lib-reftable.{c,h}`. This restores a
clean and consistent naming scheme for shared test utilities.

Finally, update our build system to reflect the changes made and remove
redundant code related to the reftable tests and our old homegrown
unit-testing setup. `test-lib.{c,h}` remains unchanged in our build
system as some files particularly `t/helper/test-example-tap.c` depends
on it in order to run, and removing that would be beyond the scope of
this patch.
