When removal of a loose or packed ref fails, bail out instead of
trying to finish the transaction. This way, a single error message
can be printed (instead of multiple messages being concatenated by
mistake) and the operator can try to solve the underlying problem
before there is a chance to muck things up even more.
In particular, when git fails to remove a ref, git goes on to try to
delete the reflog. Exiting early lets us keep the reflog.
When git succeeds in deleting a ref A and fails to remove a ref B, it
goes on to try to delete both reflogs. It would be better to just
remove the reflog for A, but that would be a more invasive change.
Failing early means we keep both reflogs, which puts the operator in a
good position to understand the problem and recover.
A long term goal is to avoid these problems altogether and roll back
the transaction on failure. That kind of transactionality will have
to wait for a later series (the plan for which is to make all
destructive work happen in a single update of the packed-refs file).

Some functions that take a strbuf argument to append an error treat
!err as an indication that the message should be suppressed (e.g.,
ref_update_reject_duplicates). Others write the message to stderr on
!err (e.g., repack_without_refs). Others crash (e.g.,
ref_transaction_update).
Some of these behaviors are for historical reasons and others were
accidents. Luckily no callers pass err == NULL any more. Simplify
by consistently requiring the strbuf argument.

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_]*).

valid on the wire and not on the filesystem is not needed any more.

resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref
resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be
a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when
we want this behaviour.
While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output
arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can
catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited.

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

Change is_refname_available to take a list of strings to exclude when
checking for conflicts instead of just one single name. We can already
exclude a single name for the sake of renames. This generalizes that support.
ref_transaction_commit already tracks a set of refs that are being deleted
in an array. This array is then used to exclude refs from being written to
the packed-refs file. At some stage we will want to change this array to a
struct string_list and then we can pass it to is_refname_available via the
call to lock_ref_sha1_basic. That will allow us to perform transactions
that perform multiple renames as long as there are no conflicts within the
starting or ending state.
For example, that would allow a single transaction that contains two
renames that are both individually conflicting:
m -> n/n
n -> m/m

lock_any_ref_for_update completely. This has no visible impact to callers
except for the inability to lock badly named refs, which is not possible

Keep lock_any_ref_for_update as a no-op wrapper. It is the public facing
version of this interface and keeping it as a separate function will make
it easier to experiment with the internal lock_ref_sha1_basic signature.
(*) For example, if lock_ref_sha1_basic checks the refname format and
refuses to lock badly named refs, it will not be possible to delete
such refs because the first step of deletion is to lock the ref. We
currently already fail in that case because these refs are not recognized

Our filesystem ref storage does not allow D/F conflicts; so
if "refs/heads/a/b" exists, we do not allow "refs/heads/a"
to exist (and vice versa). This falls out naturally for
loose refs, where the filesystem enforces the condition. But
for packed-refs, we have to make the check ourselves.
We do so by iterating over the entire packed-refs namespace
and checking whether each name creates a conflict. If you
have a very large number of refs, this is quite inefficient,
as you end up doing a large number of comparisons with
uninteresting bits of the ref tree (e.g., we know that all
of "refs/tags" is uninteresting in the example above, yet we
check each entry in it).
Instead, let's take advantage of the fact that we have the
packed refs stored as a trie of ref_entry structs. We can
find each component of the proposed refname as we walk
through the trie, checking for D/F conflicts as we go. For a
refname of depth N (i.e., 4 in the above example), we only
have to visit N nodes. And at each visit, we can binary
search the M names at that level, for a total complexity of
O(N lg M). ("M" is different at each level, of course, but
we can take the worst-case "M" as a bound).
In a pathological case of fetching 30,000 fresh refs into a
repository with 8.5 million refs, this dropped the time to
run "git fetch" from tens of minutes to ~30s.
This may also help smaller cases in which we check against
loose refs (which we do when renaming a ref), as we may
avoid a disk access for unrelated loose directories.
Note that the tests we add appear at first glance to be
redundant with what is already in t3210. However, the early
tests are not robust; they are run with reflogs turned on,
meaning that we are not actually testing
is_refname_available at all! The operations will still fail
because the reflogs will hit D/F conflicts in the
filesystem. To get a true test, we must turn off reflogs
(but we don't want to do so for the entire script, because
the point of turning them on was to cover some other cases).

We write each line of a new packed-refs file individually
using a write() syscall (and sometimes 2, if the ref is
peeled). Since each line is only about 50-100 bytes long,
this creates a lot of system call overhead.
We can instead open a stdio handle around our descriptor and
use fprintf to write to it. The extra buffering is not a
problem for us, because nobody will read our new packed-refs
file until we call commit_lock_file (by which point we have

After we have packed all refs, we prune any loose refs that

file.
However, lock_ref_sha1 will refuse to take a lock on any
refs that exist at the top-level of the "refs/" directory,
and we skip pruning the ref. This is almost certainly not
what we want to happen here. The criteria to be pruned
should not differ from that to be packed; if a ref makes it
to prune_ref, it's because we want it both packed and
pruned (if there are refs you do not want to be packed, they
should be omitted much earlier by pack_ref_is_possible,
which we do in this case if --all is not given).

When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes
something like:
1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have
one, allocate and return a new one.
2. Double check that any object we have is the expected
type (and complain and return NULL otherwise).
3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior
call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type.
We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which
checks whether we have the expected object type, converts
OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object.
Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides
one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into
objects of other types. Future patches will use that to
enforce type-specific invariants.
Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave
exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to
see that this is the case:
- for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just
pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same
thing.
- for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3
(but we want to consolidate it with the others, as
mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the
surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE
(which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to
sha1_object_info).
- for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are
currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3
is a noop here. The object we got will have just come
from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for
each object in order to know when to stop peeling.
Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE.

Make sure all in-core commit objects are assigned a unique number
so that they can be annotated using the commit-slab API.
* jk/alloc-commit-id:
diff-tree: avoid lookup_unknown_object
object_as_type: set commit index
alloc: factor out commit index
add object_as_type helper for casting objects
parse_object_buffer: do not set object type
move setting of object->type to alloc_* functions
alloc: write out allocator definitions
alloc.c: remove the alloc_raw_commit_node() function
Early part of the "ref transaction" topic.
* rs/ref-transaction-0:
refs.c: change ref_transaction_update() to do error checking and return status
refs.c: remove the onerr argument to ref_transaction_commit
update-ref: use err argument to get error from ref_transaction_commit
refs.c: make update_ref_write update a strbuf on failure
refs.c: make ref_update_reject_duplicates take a strbuf argument for errors
refs.c: log_ref_write should try to return meaningful errno
refs.c: make resolve_ref_unsafe set errno to something meaningful on error
refs.c: commit_packed_refs to return a meaningful errno on failure
refs.c: make remove_empty_directories always set errno to something sane
refs.c: verify_lock should set errno to something meaningful
refs.c: make sure log_ref_setup returns a meaningful errno
refs.c: add an err argument to repack_without_refs
lockfile.c: make lock_file return a meaningful errno on failurei
lockfile.c: add a new public function unable_to_lock_message
refs.c: add a strbuf argument to ref_transaction_commit for error logging
refs.c: allow passing NULL to ref_transaction_free
refs.c: constify the sha arguments for ref_transaction_create|delete|update
refs.c: ref_transaction_commit should not free the transaction
refs.c: remove ref_transaction_rollback
