The `is_root_ref()` function will happily clarify a pseudoref as a root

leads to inconsistent behaviour across ref backends: while the "files"
backend accidentally knows to parse those pseudorefs and thus yields
them to the caller, the "reftable" backend won't ever see the pseudoref
at all because they are never stored in the "reftable" backend.
Fix this issue by filtering out pseudorefs in `is_root_ref()`.

Root refs are those refs that live in the root of the ref hierarchy.
Our old and venerable "HEAD" reference falls into this category, but we
don't yet classify it as such in `is_root_ref()`.
Adapt the function to also treat "HEAD" as a root ref. This change is
safe to do for all current callers:
- `ref_kind_from_refname()` already handles "HEAD" explicitly before
calling `is_root_ref()`.
- The "files" and "reftable" backends explicitly call both
`is_root_ref()` and `is_headref()` together.
This also aligns behaviour or `is_root_ref()` and `is_headref()` such
that we stop checking for ref existence. This changes semantics for our
backends:
- In the reftable backend we already know that the ref must exist
because `is_headref()` is called as part of the ref iterator. The
existence check is thus redundant, and the change is safe to do.
- In the files backend we use it when populating root refs, where we
would skip adding the "HEAD" file if it was not possible to resolve
it. The new behaviour is to instead mark "HEAD" as broken, which
will cause us to emit warnings in various places.
As there are no callers of `is_headref()` left afer the refactoring, we
can absorb it completely into `is_root_ref()`.

refs: do not check ref existence in `is_root_ref()`
Before this patch series, root refs except for "HEAD" and our special
refs were classified as pseudorefs. Furthermore, our terminology
clarified that pseudorefs must not be symbolic refs. This restriction
is enforced in `is_root_ref()`, which explicitly checks that a supposed
root ref resolves to an object ID without recursing.
This has been extremely confusing right from the start because (in old
terminology) a ref name may sometimes be a pseudoref and sometimes not
depending on whether it is a symbolic or regular ref. This behaviour
does not seem reasonable at all and I very much doubt that it results in
anything sane.
Last but not least, the current behaviour can actually lead to a
segfault when calling `is_root_ref()` with a reference that either does
not exist or that is a symbolic ref because we never initialized `oid`,
but then read it via `is_null_oid()`.
We have now changed terminology to clarify that pseudorefs are really
only "MERGE_HEAD" and "FETCH_HEAD", whereas all the other refs that live
in the root of the ref hierarchy are just plain refs. Thus, we do not
need to check whether the ref is symbolic or not. In fact, we can now
avoid looking up the ref completely as the name is sufficient for us to
figure out whether something would be a root ref or not.
This change of course changes semantics for our callers. As there are
only three of them we can assess each of them individually:
- "ref-filter.c:ref_kind_from_refname()" uses it to classify refs.
It's clear that the intent is to classify based on the ref name,
only.
- "refs/reftable_backend.c:reftable_ref_iterator_advance()" uses it to
filter root refs. Again, using existence checks is pointless here as
the iterator has just surfaced the ref, so we know it does exist.
- "refs/files_backend.c:add_pseudoref_and_head_entries()" uses it to
determine whether it should add a ref to the root directory of its
iterator. This had the effect that we skipped over any files that
are either a symbolic ref, or which are not a ref at all.
The new behaviour is to include symbolic refs know, which aligns us
with the adapted terminology. Furthermore, files which look like
root refs but aren't are now mark those as "broken". As broken refs
are not surfaced by our tooling, this should not lead to a change in
user-visible behaviour, but may cause us to emit warnings. This
feels like the right thing to do as we would otherwise just silently
ignore corrupted root refs completely.
So in all cases the existence check was either superfluous, not in line
with the adapted terminology or masked potential issues. This commit
thus changes the behaviour as proposed and drops the existence check
altogether.
Add a test that verifies that this does not change user-visible
behaviour. Namely, we still don't want to show broken refs to the user
by default in git-for-each-ref(1). What this does allow though is for
internal callers to surface dangling root refs when they pass in the
`DO_FOR_EACH_INCLUDE_BROKEN` flag.

Documentation/glossary: redefine pseudorefs as special refs
Nowadays, Git knows about three different kinds of refs. As defined in
gitglossary(7):
- Regular refs that start with "refs/", like "refs/heads/main".
- Pseudorefs, which live in the root directory. These must have
all-caps names and must be a file that start with an object hash.
Consequently, symbolic refs are not pseudorefs because they do not
start with an object hash.
- Special refs, of which we only have "FETCH_HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD".
This state is extremely confusing, and I would claim that most folks
don't fully understand what is what here. The current definitions also
have several problems:
- Where does "HEAD" fit in? It's not a pseudoref because it can be
a symbolic ref. It's not a regular ref because it does not start
with "refs/". And it's not a special ref, either.
- There is a strong overlap between pseudorefs and special refs. The
pseudoref section for example mentions "MERGE_HEAD", even though it
is a special ref. Is it thus both a pseudoref and a special ref?
- Why do we even need to distinguish refs that live in the root from
other refs when they behave just like a regular ref anyway?
In other words, the current state is quite a mess and leads to wild
inconsistencies without much of a good reason.
The original reason why pseudorefs were introduced is that there are
some refs that sometimes behave like a ref, even though they aren't a
ref. And we really only have two of these nowadays, namely "MERGE_HEAD"
and "FETCH_HEAD". Those files are never written via the ref backends,
but are instead written by git-fetch(1), git-pull(1) and git-merge(1).
They contain additional metadata that highlights where a ref has been
fetched from or the list of commits that have been merged.
This original intent in fact matches the definition of special refs that
we have recently introduced in 8df4c5d205 (Documentation: add "special
refs" to the glossary, 2024-01-19). Due to the introduction of the new
reftable backend we were forced to distinguish those refs more clearly
such that we don't ever try to read or write them via the reftable
backend. In the same series, we also addressed all the other cases where
we used to write those special refs via the filesystem directly, thus
circumventing the ref backend, to instead write them via the backends.
Consequently, there are no other refs left anymore which are special.
Let's address this mess and return the pseudoref terminology back to its
original intent: a ref that sometimes behave like a ref, but which isn't
really a ref because it gets written to the filesystem directly. Or in
other words, let's redefine pseudorefs to match the current definition
of special refs. As special refs and pseudorefs are now the same per
definition, we can drop the "special refs" term again. It's not exposed
to our users and thus they wouldn't ever encounter that term anyway.
Refs that live in the root of the ref hierarchy but which are not
pseudorefs will be further defined in a subsequent commit.

- It is used as a store to convert the provided key to an
all-lowercase key when `use_key_regexp` is set.
Neither of these cases warrant a global variable at all. In the former
case we can pass the key via `struct collect_config_data`. And in the

a wall of text. This makes it really hard to figure out what exactly
caused the error.
Furthermore, now that we have recently introduced subcommands, the usage
information may actually be misleading as we unconditionally print
options of the subcommand-less mode.
Fix both of these issues by just not printing the options at all
anymore. Instead, we call `usage()` that makes us report in a single
line what has gone wrong. This should be way more discoverable for our
users and addresses the inconsistency.

Merge branch 'jc/no-default-attr-tree-in-bare'
Git 2.43 started using the tree of HEAD as the source of attributes
in a bare repository, which has severe performance implications.
For now, revert the change, without ripping out a more explicit
support for the attr.tree configuration variable.

SubmittingPatches: extend the "flow" section
Explain a full lifecycle of a patch series upfront, so that it is
clear when key decisions to "accept" a series is made and how a new
patch series becomes a part of a new release.
Fold the "you need to monitor the progress of your topic" section
into the primary "patch lifecycle" section, as that is one of the
things the patch submitter is responsible for. It is not like "I
sent a patch and responded to review messages, and now it is their
problem". They need to see their patch through the patch life
cycle.
Earlier versions of this document outlined a slightly different
patch flow in an idealized world, where the original submitter
gathered agreements from the participants of the discussion and sent
the final "we all agreed that this is the good version--please
apply" patches to the maintainer. In practice, this almost never
happened. Instead, describe what flow was used in practice for the
past decade that worked well for us.

SubmittingPatches: move the patch-flow section earlier
Before discussing the small details of how the patch gets sent, we'd
want to give people a larger picture first to set the expectation
straight. The existing patch-flow section covers materials that are
suitable for that purpose, so move it to the beginning of the
document. We'll update the contents of the section to clarify what
goal the patch submitter is working towards in the next step, which
will make it easier to understand the reason behind the individual
rules presented in latter parts of the document.
This step only moves two sections (patch-flow and patch-status)
without changing their contents, except that their section levels
are demoted from Level 1 to Level 2 to fit better in the document
structure at their new place.

ci: stop installing "gcc-13" for osx-gcc
Our osx-gcc job explicitly asks to install gcc-13. But since the GitHub
runner image already comes with gcc-13 installed, this is mostly doing
nothing (or in some cases it may install an incremental update over the
runner image). But worse, it recently started causing errors like:
==> Fetching gcc@13
==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/gcc/13/blobs/sha256:fb2403d97e2ce67eb441b54557cfb61980830f3ba26d4c5a1fe5ecd0c9730d1a
==> Pouring gcc@13--13.2.0.ventura.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local
Could not symlink bin/c++-13
Target /usr/local/bin/c++-13
is a symlink belonging to gcc. You can unlink it:
brew unlink gcc
which cause the whole CI job to bail.
I didn't track down the root cause, but I suspect it may be related to
homebrew recently switching the "gcc" default to gcc-14. And it may even
be fixed when a new runner image is released. But if we don't need to
run brew at all, it's one less thing for us to worry about.

ci: avoid bare "gcc" for osx-gcc job
On macOS, a bare "gcc" (without a version) will invoke a wrapper for
clang, not actual gcc. Even when gcc is installed via homebrew, that
only provides version-specific links in /usr/local/bin (like "gcc-13"),
and never a version-agnostic "gcc" wrapper.
As far as I can tell, this has been the case for a long time, and this
osx-gcc job has largely been doing nothing. We can point it at "gcc-13",
which will pick up the homebrew-installed version.
The fix here is specific to the github workflow file, as the gitlab one
does not have a matching job.
It's a little unfortunate that we cannot just ask for the latest version
of gcc which homebrew provides, but as far as I can tell there is no
easy alias (you'd have to find the highest number gcc-* in
/usr/local/bin yourself).
