2011-11-17refs: loosen over-strict "format" checkJunio C Hamano
The add_extra_ref() interface is used to add an extra-ref that is _not_ our ref for the purpose of helping auto-following of tags and reducing object transfer from remote repository, and they are typically formatted as a tagname followed by ^{} to make sure no valid refs match that pattern. In other words, these entries are deliberately formatted not to pass check-refname-format test. A recent series however added a test unconditionally to the add_ref() function that is called from add_extra_ref(). The check may be sensible for other two callsites of the add_ref() interface, but definitely is a wrong thing to do in add_extra_ref(). Disable it.

2011-10-19resolve_ref(): report breakage to the caller without warningJunio C Hamano
629cd3a (resolve_ref(): emit warnings for improperly-formatted references, 2011-09-15) made resolve_ref() warn against files that are found in the directories the ref dwimmery looks at. The intent may be good, but these messages come from a wrong level of the API hierarchy. Instead record the breakage in "flags" whose purpose is to explain the result of the function to the caller, who is in a much better position to make intelligent decision based on the information. This updates sha1_name.c::dwim_ref() to warn against such a broken candidate only when it does not appear directly below $GIT_DIR to restore the traditional behaviour, as we know many files directly underneath $GIT_DIR/ are not refs. Warning against "git show config --" with "$GIT_DIR/config does not look like a well-formed ref" does not make sense, and we may later tweak the dwimmery not to even consider them as candidates, but that is a longer term topic.

2011-10-19resolve_ref(): expose REF_ISBROKEN flagJunio C Hamano
Instead of keeping this as an internal API, let the callers find out the reason why resolve_ref() returned NULL is not because there was no such file in $GIT_DIR but because a file was corrupt. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-10-17resolve_gitlink_packed_ref(): fix mismergeJunio C Hamano
2c5c66b (Merge branch 'jp/get-ref-dir-unsorted', 2011-10-10) merged a topic that forked from the mainline before a new helper function get_packed_refs() refactored code to read packed-refs file. The merge made the call to the helper function with an incorrect argument. The parameter to the function has to be a path to the submodule. Fix the mismerge.

2011-10-17invalidate_ref_cache(): expose this function in the refs APIMichael Haggerty
Make invalidate_ref_cache() an official part of the refs API. It is currently a fact of life that code outside of refs.c mucks about with references.

2011-10-12branch -m/-M: remove undocumented RENAMED-REFJunio C Hamano
The commit message for c976d41 (git-branch: add options and tests for branch renaming, 2006-11-28) mentions RENAME_REF but otherwise this is not documented anywhere, and it does not appear in any of the tests. Worse yet, the name of the actual file is "RENAMED-REF". This was supposed to hold the commit object name at the tip of the branch the most recent "branch -m/-M" renamed, but that is not necessary in order to be able to recover from a mistake. Even when "branch -M A B" overwrites an existing branch B, what is kept in RENAMED-REF is the commit at the tip of the original branch A, not the commit B from the now-lost branch. Just remove this unused "feature". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-10-10refs.c: abort ref search if ref array is emptyBrandon Casey
The bsearch() implementation on IRIX 6.5 segfaults if it is passed NULL for the base array argument even if number-of-elements is zero. So, let's work around it by detecting an empty array and aborting early. This is a useful optimization in its own right anyway, since we avoid a useless allocation and initialization of the ref_entry when the ref array is empty.

2011-10-10refs.c: ensure struct whose member may be passed to realloc is initializedBrandon Casey
The variable "refs" is allocated on the stack but is not initialized. It is passed to read_packed_refs(), and its struct members may eventually be passed to add_ref() and ALLOC_GROW(). Since the structure has not been initialized, its members may contain random non-zero values. So let's initialize it. The call sequence looks something like this: resolve_gitlink_packed_ref(...) { struct cached_refs refs; ... read_packed_refs(f, &refs); ... } read_packed_refs(FILE*, struct cached_refs *cached_refs) { ... add_ref(name, sha1, flag, &cached_refs->packed, &last); ... } add_ref(..., struct ref_array *refs, struct ref_entry **) { ...

2011-10-05resolve_ref(): turn buffer into a proper string as soon as possibleMichael Haggerty

2011-10-05Change check_refname_format() to reject unnormalized refnamesMichael Haggerty
Since much of the infrastructure does not work correctly with unnormalized refnames, change check_refname_format() to reject them. Similarly, change "git check-ref-format" to reject unnormalized refnames by default. But add an option --normalize, which causes "git check-ref-format" to normalize the refname before checking its format, and print the normalized refname. This is exactly the behavior of the old --print option, which is retained but deprecated. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-10-05Do not allow ".lock" at the end of any refname componentMichael Haggerty
Allowing any refname component to end with ".lock" is looking for trouble; for example, $ git br foo.lock/bar $ git br foo fatal: Unable to create '[...]/.git/refs/heads/foo.lock': File exists.

2011-10-05Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argumentMichael Haggerty
Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern"). This is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and "refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other. Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

2011-10-05Change bad_ref_char() to return a boolean valueMichael Haggerty
Previously most bad characters were indicated by returning 1, but "*" was special-cased to return 2 instead of 1. One caller examined the return value to see whether the special case occurred. But it is easier (to document and understand) for bad_ref_char() simply to return a boolean value, treating "*" like any other bad character. Special-case the handling of "*" (which only occurs in very specific circumstances) at the caller. The resulting calling code thereby also becomes more transparent.

2011-09-30refs: Use binary search to lookup refs fasterJulian Phillips
Currently we linearly search through lists of refs when we need to find a specific ref. This can be very slow if we need to lookup a large number of refs. By changing to a binary search we can make this faster. In order to be able to use a binary search we need to change from using linked lists to arrays, which we can manage using ALLOC_GROW. We can now also use the standard library qsort function to sort the refs arrays. Signed-off-by: Julian Phillips <julian@quantumfyre.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-09-27Don't sort ref_list too earlyJulian Phillips
get_ref_dir is called recursively for subdirectories, which means that we were calling sort_ref_list for each directory of refs instead of once for all the refs. This is a massive wast of processing, so now just call sort_ref_list on the result of the top-level get_ref_dir, so that the sort is only done once. In the common case of only a few different directories of refs the difference isn't very noticable, but it becomes very noticeable when you have a large number of direcotries containing refs (e.g. as created by Gerrit).
