<content type='text'>
As the comment of `repo_has_object_file()` and its `_with_flags()`
variant tells us, these functions are considered to be deprecated in
favor of `has_object()`. There are a couple of slight benefits in favor
of the replacement:

  - The new function has a short-and-sweet name.

  - More explicit defaults: `has_object()` doesn't fetch missing objects
    via promisor remotes, and neither does it reload packfiles if an
    object wasn't found by default. This ensures that it becomes
    immediately obvious when a simple object existence check may result
    in expensive actions.

Most importantly though, it is confusing that we have two sets of
functions that ultimately do the same thing, but with different
defaults.

Start sunsetting `repo_has_object_file()` and its `_with_flags()`
sibling by replacing all callsites with `has_object()`:

  - `repo_has_object_file(...)` is equivalent to
    `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED | HAS_OBJECT_FETCH_PROMISOR)`.

  - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_QUICK | OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT)`
    is equivalent to `has_object(..., 0)`.

  - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT)`
    is equivalent to `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED)`.

  - `repo_has_object_file_with_flags(..., OBJECT_INFO_QUICK)`
    is equivalent to `has_object(..., HAS_OBJECT_FETCH_PROMISOR)`.

The replacements should be functionally equivalent.

<title>object-store: merge "object-store-ll.h" and "object-store.h"</title>

<content type='text'>
The "object-store-ll.h" header has been introduced to keep transitive
header dependendcies and compile times at bay. Now that we have created
a new "object-store.c" file though we can easily move the last remaining
additional bit of "object-store.h", the `odb_path_map`, out of the
header.

Do so. As the "object-store.h" header is now equivalent to its low-level
alternative we drop the latter and inline it into the former.

<title>send-pack: gracefully close the connection for atomic push</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b81f8c8dd3ec81a8d622e2d3d6b2af426ca53f05</id>
<content type='text'>
Patrick reported an issue that the exit code of git-receive-pack(1) is
ignored during atomic push with "--porcelain" flag, and added new test
cases in t5543.

This issue originated from commit 7dcbeaa0df (send-pack: fix
inconsistent porcelain output, 2020-04-17). At that time, I chose to
ignore the exit code of "finish_connect()" without investigating the
root cause of the abnormal termination of git-receive-pack. That was an
incorrect solution.

The root cause is that an atomic push operation terminates early without
sending a flush packet to git-receive-pack. As a result,
git-receive-pack continues waiting for commands without exiting. By
sending a flush packet at the appropriate location in "send_pack()", we
ensure that the git-receive-pack process closes properly, avoiding an
erroneous exit code for git-push. At the same time, revert the changes
to the "transport.c" file made in commit 7dcbeaa0df.

<title>send-pack: new return code "ERROR_SEND_PACK_BAD_REF_STATUS"</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3028db4af289560e670b9f362aea16eaf3d1825e</id>
<content type='text'>
The "push_refs" function in the transport_vtable is the handler for
git-push operation. All the "push_refs" functions for different
transports (protocols) should have the same behavior, but the behavior
of "git_transport_push()" function for builtin_smart_vtable in
"transport.c" (which calls "send_pack()" in "send-pack.c") differs from
the handler of the HTTP protocol.

The "push_refs()" function for the HTTP protocol which calls the
"push_refs_with_push()" function in "transport-helper.c" will return 0
even when a bad REF_STATUS (such as REF_STATUS_REJECT_NONFASTFORWARD)
was found. But "send_pack()" for Git smart protocol will return -1 for
a bad REF_STATUS.

We cannot ignore bad REF_STATUS directly in the "send_pack()" function,
because the function is also used in "builtin/send-pack.c". So we add a
new non-zero error code "SEND_PACK_ERROR_REF_STATUS" for "send_pack()".

Ignore the specific error code in the "git_transport_push()" function to
have the same behavior as "push_refs()" for HTTP protocol. Note that
even though we ignore the error here, we'll ultimately still end up
detecting that a subset of refs was not pushed in `transport_push()`
because we eventually call `push_had_errors()` on the remote refs.

<title>send-pack: stop using `the_repository`</title>

Stop using `the_repository` in the "send-pack" subsystem by passing in a
repository when sending a packfile.

Adjust callers accordingly by using `the_repository`. While there may be
some callers that have a repository available in their context, this
trivial conversion allows for easier verification and bubbles up the use
of `the_repository` by one level.

<content type='text'>
We have a bunch of loops which iterate up to an unsigned boundary using
a signed index, which generates warnigs because we compare a signed and
unsigned value in the loop condition. Address these sites for trivial
cases and enable `-Wsign-compare` warnings for these code units.

This patch only adapts those code units where we can drop the
`DISABLE_SIGN_COMPARE_WARNINGS` macro in the same step.

allows for a structured approach to get rid of all such warnings over
time in a way that can be easily measured.

<title>drop trailing newline from warning/error/die messages</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1a60f2066aadf68391aed69f4d5914d914b60f5b</id>
<content type='text'>
Our error reporting routines append a trailing newline, and the strings
we pass to them should not include them (otherwise we get an extra blank
line after the message).

These cases were all found by looking at the results of:

  git grep -P '[^_](error|error_errno|warning|die|die_errno)\(.*\\n"[,)]' '*.c'

Note that we _do_ sometimes include a newline in the middle of such
messages, to create multiline output (hence our grep matching "," or ")"
after we see the newline, so we know we're at the end of the string).

It's possible that one or more of these cases could intentionally be
including a blank line at the end, but having looked at them all
manually, I think these are all just mistakes.

The interfaces to retrieve signing keys and their IDs are misdesigned as
they return string constants even though they indeed allocate memory,
which leads to memory leaks. Refactor the code to instead always return
allocated strings and let the callers free them accordingly.
