The git-update-server-info command prepares informational files
to help clients discover the contents of a repository, and pull
from it via a dumb transport protocols. Currently, the
following files are produced.
- The $repo/info/refs file lists the name of heads and tags
available in the $repo/refs/ directory, along with their
SHA1. This can be used by git-ls-remote command running on
the client side.
- The $repo/info/rev-cache file describes the commit ancestry
reachable from references in the $repo/refs/ directory. This
file is in an append-only binary format to make the server
side friendly to rsync mirroring scheme, and can be read by
git-show-rev-cache command.
- The $repo/objects/info/pack file lists the name of the packs
available, the interdependencies among them, and the head
commits and tags contained in them. Along with the other two
files, this is designed to help clients to make smart pull
decisions.
The git-receive-pack command is changed to invoke it at the end,
so just after a push to a public repository finishes via "git
push", the server info is automatically updated.
In addition, building of the rev-cache file can be done by a
standalone git-build-rev-cache command separately.

Do the default "try xyz.git xyz fails" thing for the directory we get
passed in.

IIRC our strategy was to let the users' umask take care of the
final mode bits. This patch fixes places that deviate from it.

Mainly making a lot of local functions and variables be marked "static",
but there was a "zero as NULL" warning in there too.
|
|
It needed to take the GIT_DIR information into account, something that
the original receive-pack usage just never cared about.
|
|
This turns it into a generic "do xyz for each ref" library function.
|
|
This makes the receiver always send a full list of valid refs, which
will allow us to do better packs, as well as handle creation of new
refs. Eventually. Right now we just moved the matching and enabled it.
So now you can do
git-send-pack host:path branch1 branch2
to only send branches "branch1" and "branch2".

A "old ref" of all zeroes is considered a "don't care" ref, and allows
us to say "write the new ref regardless of what the old ref contained
(or even if it existed at all)".
This allows (if git-send-pack were to do it) creating new refs, and
fixing up old ones.
|
|
After unpacking the object pack successfully, we go through the list of
refs, and verify that they still contain their expected values. Then we
replace them with the new ones.
|
|
We don't act on them yet, but we parse them.

It's not working yet, but it's at the point where I want to be able to
track my changes. The theory of operation is that this is the "remote"
side of a "git push". It can tell us what references the remote side
has, receives out reference update commands and a pack-file, and can
execute the unpacking command.
