There are a few reasons it's not a good idea to make
.gitmodules a symlink, including:
1. It won't be portable to systems without symlinks.
2. It may behave inconsistently, since Git may look at
this file in the index or a tree without bothering to
resolve any symbolic links. We don't do this _yet_, but
the config infrastructure is there and it's planned for
the future.
With some clever code, we could make (2) work. And some
people may not care about (1) if they only work on one
platform. But there are a few security reasons to simply
disallow it:
a. A symlinked .gitmodules file may circumvent any fsck
checks of the content.
b. Git may read and write from the on-disk file without
sanity checking the symlink target. So for example, if
you link ".gitmodules" to "../oops" and run "git
submodule add", we'll write to the file "oops" outside
the repository.
Again, both of those are problems that _could_ be solved
with sufficient code, but given the complications in (1) and
(2), we're better off just outlawing it explicitly.
Note the slightly tricky call to verify_path() in
update-index's update_one(). There we may not have a mode if
we're not updating from the filesystem (e.g., we might just
be removing the file). Passing "0" as the mode there works
fine; since it's not a symlink, we'll just skip the extra
checks.

When we started to catch NTFS short names that clash with .git, we only
looked for GIT~1. This is sufficient because we only ever clone into an
empty directory, so .git is guaranteed to be the first subdirectory or
file in that directory.
However, even with a fresh clone, .gitmodules is *not* necessarily the
first file to be written that would want the NTFS short name GITMOD~1: a
malicious repository can add .gitmodul0000 and friends, which sorts
before `.gitmodules` and is therefore checked out *first*. For that
reason, we have to test not only for ~1 short names, but for others,
too.
It's hard to just adapt the existing checks in is_ntfs_dotgit(): since
Windows 2000 (i.e., in all Windows versions still supported by Git),
NTFS short names are only generated in the <prefix>~<number> form up to
number 4. After that, a *different* prefix is used, calculated from the
long file name using an undocumented, but stable algorithm.
For example, the short name of .gitmodules would be GITMOD~1, but if it
is taken, and all of ~2, ~3 and ~4 are taken, too, the short name
GI7EBA~1 will be used. From there, collisions are handled by
incrementing the number, shortening the prefix as needed (until ~9999999
is reached, in which case NTFS will not allow the file to be created).
We'd also want to handle .gitignore and .gitattributes, which suffer
from a similar problem, using the fall-back short names GI250A~1 and
GI7D29~1, respectively.
To accommodate for that, we could reimplement the hashing algorithm, but
it is just safer and simpler to provide the known prefixes. This
algorithm has been reverse-engineered and described at
https://usn.pw/blog/gen/2015/06/09/filenames/, which is defunct but
still available via https://web.archive.org/.
These can be recomputed by running the following Perl script:
-- snip --
use warnings;
use strict;
sub compute_short_name_hash ($) {
my $checksum = 0;
foreach (split('', $_[0])) {
$checksum = ($checksum * 0x25 + ord($_)) & 0xffff;
}
$checksum = ($checksum * 314159269) & 0xffffffff;
$checksum = 1 + (~$checksum & 0x7fffffff) if ($checksum & 0x80000000);
$checksum -= (($checksum * 1152921497) >> 60) * 1000000007;
return scalar reverse sprintf("%x", $checksum & 0xffff);
}
print compute_short_name_hash($ARGV[0]);
-- snap --
E.g., running that with the argument ".gitignore" will
result in "250a" (which then becomes "gi250a" in the code).

This should make these functions easier to find and cache.h less
overwhelming to read.
In particular, this moves:
- read_object_file
- oid_object_info
- write_object_file
As a result, most of the codebase needs to #include object-store.h.
In this patch the #include is only added to files that would fail to
compile otherwise. It would be better to #include wherever
identifiers from the header are used. That can happen later
when we have better tooling for it.

This involves also adapting oid_object_info_extended and a some
internal functions that are used to implement these. It all has to
happen in one patch, because of a single recursive chain of calls visits
all these functions.
oid_object_info_extended is also used in partial clones, which allow
fetching missing objects. As this series will not add the repository
struct to the transport code and fetch_object(), add a TODO note and
omit fetching if a user tries to use a partial clone in a repository
other than the_repository.
Among the functions modified to handle arbitrary repositories,
unpack_entry() is one of them. Note that it still references the globals
"delta_base_cache" and "delta_base_cached", but those are safe to be
referenced (the former is indexed partly by "struct packed_git *", which
is repo-specific, and the latter is only used to limit the size of the
former as an optimization).

An extra field type_valid is added to carry the equivalent of OBJ_BAD
in the original "type" field. in_pack_type always contains a valid
type so we only need 3 bits for it.
A note about accepting OBJ_NONE as "valid" type. The function
read_object_list_from_stdin() can pass this value [1] and it
eventually calls create_object_entry() where current code skip setting
"type" field if the incoming type is zero. This does not have any bad
side effects because "type" field should be memset()'d anyway.
But since we also need to set type_valid now, skipping oe_set_type()
leaves type_valid zero/false, which will make oe_type() return
OBJ_BAD, not OBJ_NONE anymore. Apparently we do care about OBJ_NONE in
prepare_pack(). This switch from OBJ_NONE to OBJ_BAD may trigger
fatal: unable to get type of object ...
Accepting OBJ_NONE [2] does sound wrong, but this is how it is has
been for a very long time and I haven't time to dig in further.

When fetching from a repository with large number of refs, because to
check existence of each refs in local repository to packed and loose
objects, 'git fetch' ends up doing a lot of lstat(2) to non-existing
loose form, which makes it slow.
Instead of making as many lstat(2) calls as the refs the remote side
advertised to see if these objects exist in the loose form, first
enumerate all the existing loose objects in hashmap beforehand and use
it to check existence of them if the number of refs is larger than the
number of loose objects.
With this patch, the number of lstat(2) calls in `git fetch` is reduced
from 411412 to 13794 for chromium repository, it has more than 480000
remote refs.
I took time stat of `git fetch` when fetch-pack happens for chromium
repository 3 times on linux with SSD.

We have several callers like
if (active_cache_changed && write_locked_index(...))
handle_error();
rollback_lock_file(...);
where the final rollback is needed because "!active_cache_changed"
shortcuts the if-expression. There are also a few variants of this,
including some if-else constructs that make it more clear when the
explicit rollback is really needed.
Teach `write_locked_index()` to take a new flag SKIP_IF_UNCHANGED and
simplify the callers. Leave the most complicated of the callers (in
builtin/update-index.c) unchanged. Rewriting it to use this new flag
would end up duplicating logic.
We could have made the new flag behave the other way round
("FORCE_WRITE"), but that could break existing users behind their backs.
Let's take the more conservative approach. We can still migrate existing
callers to use our new flag. Later we might even be able to flip the
default, possibly without entirely ignoring the risk to in-flight or
out-of-tree topics.

In a96d3cc3f6 ("cache-tree: reject entries with null sha1", 2017-04-21)
we made sure that broken cache entries do not get propagated to new
trees. Part of that was making sure not to re-use an existing cache
tree that includes a null oid.
It did so by dropping the cache tree in 'do_write_index()' if one of
the entries contains a null oid. In split index mode however, there
are two invocations to 'do_write_index()', one for the shared index
and one for the split index. The cache tree is only written once, to
the split index.
As we only loop through the elements that are effectively being
written by the current invocation, that may not include the entry with
a null oid in the split index (when it is already written to the
shared index), where we write the cache tree. Therefore in split
index mode we may still end up writing the cache tree, even though
there is an entry with a null oid in the index.
Fix this by checking for null oids in prepare_to_write_split_index,
where we loop the entries of the shared index as well as the entries for
the split index.
This fixes t7009 with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX. Also add a new test that's
more specifically showing the problem.

read_index_from() takes a path argument for the location of the index
file. For reading the shared index in split index mode however it just
ignores that path argument, and reads it from the gitdir of the current
repository.
This works as long as an index in the_repository is read. Once that
changes, such as when we read the index of a submodule, or of a
different working tree than the current one, the gitdir of
the_repository will no longer contain the appropriate shared index,
and git will fail to read it.
For example t3007-ls-files-recurse-submodules.sh was broken with
GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX set in 188dce131f ("ls-files: use repository
object", 2017-06-22), and t7814-grep-recurse-submodules.sh was also
broken in a similar manner, probably by introducing struct repository
there, although I didn't track down the exact commit for that.
be489d02d2 ("revision.c: --indexed-objects add objects from all
worktrees", 2017-08-23) breaks with split index mode in a similar
manner, not erroring out when it can't read the index, but instead
carrying on with pruning, without taking the index of the worktree into
account.
Fix this by passing an additional gitdir parameter to read_index_from,
to indicate where it should look for and read the shared index from.
read_cache_from() defaults to using the gitdir of the_repository. As it
is mostly a convenience macro, having to pass get_git_dir() for every
call seems overkill, and if necessary users can have more control by
using read_index_from().

Teach sha1_file to fetch objects from the remote configured in
extensions.partialclone whenever an object is requested but missing.
The fetching of objects can be suppressed through a global variable.
This is used by fsck and index-pack.
However, by default, such fetching is not suppressed. This is meant as a
temporary measure to ensure that all Git commands work in such a
situation. Future patches will update some commands to either tolerate
missing objects (without fetching them) or be more efficient in fetching
them.
In order to determine the code changes in sha1_file.c necessary, I
investigated the following:
(1) functions in sha1_file.c that take in a hash, without the user
regarding how the object is stored (loose or packed)
(2) functions in packfile.c (because I need to check callers that know
about the loose/packed distinction and operate on both differently,
and ensure that they can handle the concept of objects that are
neither loose nor packed)
(1) is handled by the modification to sha1_object_info_extended().
For (2), I looked at for_each_packed_object and others. For
for_each_packed_object, the callers either already work or are fixed in
this patch:
- reachable - only to find recent objects
- builtin/fsck - already knows about missing objects
- builtin/cat-file - warning message added in this commit
Callers of the other functions do not need to be changed:
- parse_pack_index
- http - indirectly from http_get_info_packs
- find_pack_entry_one
- this searches a single pack that is provided as an argument; the
caller already knows (through other means) that the sought object
is in a specific pack
- find_sha1_pack
- fast-import - appears to be an optimization to not store a file if
it is already in a pack
- http-walker - to search through a struct alt_base
- http-push - to search through remote packs
- has_sha1_pack
- builtin/fsck - already knows about promisor objects
- builtin/count-objects - informational purposes only (check if loose
object is also packed)
- builtin/prune-packed - check if object to be pruned is packed (if
not, don't prune it)
- revision - used to exclude packed objects if requested by user
- diff - just for optimization

Currently, Git does not support repos with very large numbers of objects
or repos that wish to minimize manipulation of certain blobs (for
example, because they are very large) very well, even if the user
operates mostly on part of the repo, because Git is designed on the
assumption that every referenced object is available somewhere in the
repo storage. In such an arrangement, the full set of objects is usually
available in remote storage, ready to be lazily downloaded.
Teach fsck about the new state of affairs. In this commit, teach fsck
that missing promisor objects referenced from the reflog are not an
error case; in future commits, fsck will be taught about other cases.

Make it safer to normalize the line endings in a repository.
Files that had been commited with CRLF will be commited with LF.

# Make sure that there are not untracked files
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ git read-tree --empty
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"
The user must make sure that there are no untracked files,
otherwise they would have been added and tracked from now on.
The new "add --renormalize" does not add untracked files:
$ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes
$ git add --renormalize .
$ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization"
Note that "git add --renormalize <pathspec>" is the short form for
"git add -u --renormalize <pathspec>".
