Most of the callers have string_lists available already, whereas two
of them had to read data out of a string_list into an array of strings
just to call this function. So change repack_without_refs() to take
the list of refnames to omit as a string_list, and change the callers
accordingly.

We currently do not handle badly named refs well:
$ cp .git/refs/heads/master .git/refs/heads/master.....@\*@\\.
$ git branch
fatal: Reference has invalid format: 'refs/heads/master.....@*@\.'
$ git branch -D master.....@\*@\\.
error: branch 'master.....@*@\.' not found.
Users cannot recover from a badly named ref without manually finding
and deleting the loose ref file or appropriate line in packed-refs.
Making that easier will make it easier to tweak the ref naming rules
in the future, for example to forbid shell metacharacters like '`'
and '"', without putting people in a state that is hard to get out of.
So allow "branch --list" to show these refs and allow "branch -d/-D"
and "update-ref -d" to delete them. Other commands (for example to
rename refs) will continue to not handle these refs but can be changed
in later patches.
Details:
In resolving functions, refuse to resolve refs that don't pass the
git-check-ref-format(1) check unless the new RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME
flag is passed. Even with RESOLVE_REF_ALLOW_BAD_NAME, refuse to
resolve refs that escape the refs/ directory and do not match the
pattern [A-Z_]* (think "HEAD" and "MERGE_HEAD").
In locking functions, refuse to act on badly named refs unless they
are being deleted and either are in the refs/ directory or match [A-Z_]*.
Just like other invalid refs, flag resolved, badly named refs with the
REF_ISBROKEN flag, treat them as resolving to null_sha1, and skip them
in all iteration functions except for for_each_rawref.
Flag badly named refs (but not symrefs pointing to badly named refs)
with a REF_BAD_NAME flag to make it easier for future callers to
notice and handle them specially. For example, in a later patch
for-each-ref will use this flag to detect refs whose names can confuse
callers parsing for-each-ref output.
In the transaction API, refuse to create or update badly named refs,
but allow deleting them (unless they try to escape refs/ and don't match
[A-Z_]*).

Since v1.7.9-rc1~10^2 (write_head_info(): handle "extra refs" locally,
2012-01-06), this trick to keep track of ".have" refs that are only
valid on the wire and not on the filesystem is not needed any more.
Simplify by removing support for the REFNAME_DOT_COMPONENT flag.
This means we'll be slightly stricter with invalid refs found in a
packed-refs file or during clone. read_loose_refs() already checks
for and skips refnames with .components so it is not affected.

If a repository gets in a broken state with too much symref nesting,
it cannot be repaired with "git branch -d":
$ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/nonsense refs/heads/nonsense
$ git branch -d nonsense
error: branch 'nonsense' not found.
Worse, "git update-ref --no-deref -d" doesn't work for such repairs
either:
$ git update-ref -d refs/heads/nonsense
error: unable to resolve reference refs/heads/nonsense: Too many levels of symbolic links
Fix both by teaching resolve_ref_unsafe a new RESOLVE_REF_NO_RECURSE
flag and passing it when appropriate.
Callers can still read the value of a symref (for example to print a
message about it) with that flag set --- resolve_ref_unsafe will
resolve one level of symrefs and stop there.

In _commit, ENOTDIR can happen in the call to lock_ref_sha1_basic, either
when we lstat the new refname or if the name checking function reports that
the same type of conflict happened. In both cases, it means that we can not
create the new ref due to a name conflict.
Start defining specific return codes for _commit. TRANSACTION_NAME_CONFLICT
refers to a failure to create a ref due to a name conflict with another ref.
TRANSACTION_GENERIC_ERROR is for all other errors.
When "git fetch" is creating refs, name conflicts differ from other errors in
that they are likely to be resolved by running "git remote prune <remote>".
"git fetch" currently inspects errno to decide whether to give that advice.
Once it switches to the transaction API, it can check for
TRANSACTION_NAME_CONFLICT instead.

"rev-parse --verify --quiet $name" is meant to quietly exit with a
non-zero status when $name is not a valid object name, but still
gave error messages in some cases.
* da/rev-parse-verify-quiet:
stash: prefer --quiet over shell redirection of the standard error stream
refs: make rev-parse --quiet actually quiet
t1503: use test_must_be_empty
Documentation: a note about stdout for git rev-parse --verify --quiet
|
|
* da/styles:
stylefix: asterisks stick to the variable, not the type
|
|
When a reflog is deleted, e.g. when "git stash" clears its stashes,
"git rev-parse --verify --quiet" dies:
fatal: Log for refs/stash is empty.
The reason is that the get_sha1() code path does not allow us
to suppress this message.
Pass the flags bitfield through get_sha1_with_context() so that
read_ref_at() can suppress the message.
Use get_sha1_with_context1() instead of get_sha1() in rev-parse
so that the --quiet flag is honored.

Add an err argument to _begin so that on non-fatal failures in future ref
backends we can report a nice error back to the caller.
While _begin can currently never fail for other reasons than OOM, in which
case we die() anyway, we may add other types of backends in the future.
For example, a hypothetical MySQL backend could fail in _begin with
"Can not connect to MySQL server. No route to host".

"git remote rm" and "git remote prune" can involve removing many
refs at once, which is not a very efficient thing to do when very
many refs exist in the packed-refs file.
* jl/remote-rm-prune:
remote prune: optimize "dangling symref" check/warning
remote: repack packed-refs once when deleting multiple refs
remote rm: delete remote configuration as the last

When 'git remote prune' was used to delete many refs in a repository
with many refs, a lot of time was spent checking for (now) dangling
symbolic refs pointing to the deleted ref, since warn_dangling_symref()
was once per deleted ref to check all other refs in the repository.
Avoid this using the new warn_dangling_symrefs() function which
makes one pass over all refs and checks for all the deleted refs in
one go, after they have all been deleted.

When 'git remote rm' or 'git remote prune' were used in a repository
with many refs, and needed to delete many remote-tracking refs, a lot
of time was spent deleting those refs since for each deleted ref,
repack_without_refs() was called to rewrite packed-refs without just
that deleted ref.
To avoid this, call repack_without_refs() first to repack without all
the refs that will be deleted, before calling delete_ref() to delete
each one completely. The call to repack_without_ref() in delete_ref()
then becomes a no-op, since packed-refs already won't contain any of
the deleted refs.

Add two new functions, reflog_exists and delete_reflog, to hide the internal
reflog implementation (that they are files under .git/logs/...) from callers.
Update checkout.c to use these functions in update_refs_for_switch instead of
building pathnames and calling out to file access functions. Update reflog.c
to use these to check if the reflog exists. Now there are still many places
in reflog.c where we are still leaking the reflog storage implementation but
this at least reduces the number of such dependencies by one. Finally
change two places in refs.c itself to use the new function to check if a ref
exists or not isntead of build-path-and-stat(). Now, this is strictly not all
that important since these are in parts of refs that are implementing the
actual file storage backend but on the other hand it will not hurt either.

The old signature of update_refs() required a
(const struct ref_update **) for its updates_orig argument. The
"const" is presumably there to promise that the function will not
modify the contents of the structures.
But this declaration does not permit the function to be called with a
(struct ref_update **), which is perfectly legitimate. C's type
system is not powerful enough to express what we'd like. So remove
the first "const" from the declaration.
On the other hand, the function *can* promise not to modify the
pointers within the array that is passed to it without inconveniencing
its callers. So add a "const" that has that effect, making the final
declaration
(struct ref_update * const *).

Add 'struct ref_update' to encode the information needed to update or
delete a ref (name, new sha1, optional old sha1, no-deref flag). Add
function 'update_refs' accepting an array of updates to perform. First
sort the input array to order locks consistently everywhere and reject
multiple updates to the same ref. Then acquire locks on all refs with
verified old values. Then update or delete all refs accordingly. Fail
if any one lock cannot be obtained or any one old value does not match.
Though the refs themselves cannot be modified together in a single
atomic transaction, this function does enable some useful semantics.
For example, a caller may create a new branch starting from the head of
another branch and rewind the original branch at the same time. This
transfers ownership of commits between branches without risk of losing
commits added to the original branch by a concurrent process, or risk of
a concurrent process creating the new branch first.

The lifetime of the memory pointed to by the refname and sha1
arguments to each_ref_fn was never documented, but some callers used
to assume that it was essentially permanent. In fact the API does
*not* guarantee that these objects live beyond a single callback
invocation.
In the current code, the lifetimes are bound together with the
lifetimes of the ref_caches. Since these are usually long, the
callers usually got away with their sloppiness. But even today, if a
ref_cache is invalidated the memory can be freed. And planned changes
to reference caching, needed to eliminate race conditions, will
probably need to shorten the lifetimes of these objects.
The commits leading up to this have (hopefully) fixed all of the
callers of the for_each_ref()-like functions. This commit does the
last step: documents what each_ref_fn callbacks can assume about
object lifetimes.

pack-refs.c doesn't contain much code, and the code it does contain is
closely related to reference handling. Moreover, there is some
duplication between pack_refs() and repack_without_ref(). Therefore,
merge pack-refs.c into refs.c and pack-refs.h into refs.h.
The code duplication will be addressed in future commits.

The old version was inconsistent: when a reference was
REF_KNOWS_PEELED but with a null peeled value, it returned non-zero
for the current reference but zero for other references. Change the
behavior for non-current references to match that of current_ref,
which is what callers expect. Document the behavior.
Current callers only call peel_ref() from within a for_each_ref-style
iteration and only for the current ref; therefore, the buggy code path
was never reached.
