Change checkout.c to check if a ref exists instead of checking if a loose ref
file exists when deciding if to delete an orphaned log file. Otherwise, if a
ref only exists as a packed ref without a corresponding loose ref for the
currently checked out branch, we risk that the reflog will be deleted when we
switch to a different branch.
Update the reflog tests to check for this bug.
The following reproduces the bug:
$ git init-db
$ git config core.logallrefupdates true
$ git commit -m Initial --allow-empty
[master (root-commit) bb11abe] Initial
$ git reflog master
[8561dcb master@{0}: commit (initial): Initial]
$ find .git/{refs,logs} -type f | grep master
[.git/refs/heads/master]
[.git/logs/refs/heads/master]
$ git branch foo
$ git pack-refs --all
$ find .git/{refs,logs} -type f | grep master
[.git/logs/refs/heads/master]
$ git checkout foo
$ find .git/{refs,logs} -type f | grep master
... reflog file is missing ...
$ git reflog master
... nothing ...

Breaks in a test assertion's && chain can potentially hide
failures from earlier commands in the chain.
Commands intended to fail should be marked with !, test_must_fail, or

This function replaces sequences of 'chmod +x' and 'git update-index
--chmod=+x' in the test suite, whose purpose is to help filesystems
that need core.filemode=false. Two places where only 'chmod +x' was used
we also use this new function.
The function calls 'git update-index --chmod' without checking
core.filemode (unlike some of the call sites did). We do this because the
call sites *expect* that the executable bit ends up in the index (ie. it
is not the purpose of the call sites to *test* whether git treats
'chmod +x' and 'update-index --chmod=+x' correctly). Therefore, on
filesystems with core.filemode=true the 'git update-index --chmod' is a
no-op.
The function uses --add with update-index to help one call site in
t6031-merge-recursive. It makes no difference for the other callers.

dwim_ref() used to resolve HEAD symbolic ref to its target (i.e. current
branch). This incorrectly removed the reflog entry from the current
branch when 'git reflog delete HEAD@{1}' was asked for.

This adds more tests for 'reflog delete' and marks it as
broken, as currently a call to 'git reflog delete HEAD@{1}'
deletes entries in the currently checked out branch's log,
not the HEAD log.

The only reason we did not call "prune" in git-gc was that it is an
inherently dangerous operation: if there is a commit going on, you will
prune loose objects that were just created, and are, in fact, needed by the
commit object just about to be created.
Since it is dangerous, we told users so. That led to many users not even
daring to run it when it was actually safe. Besides, they are users, and
should not have to remember such details as when to call git-gc with
--prune, or to call git-prune directly.
Of course, the consequence was that "git gc --auto" gets triggered much
more often than we would like, since unreferenced loose objects (such as
left-overs from a rebase or a reset --hard) were never pruned.
Alas, git-prune recently learnt the option --expire <minimum-age>, which
makes it a much safer operation. This allows us to call prune from git-gc,
with a grace period of 2 weeks for the unreferenced loose objects (this
value was determined in a discussion on the git list as a safe one).
If you want to override this grace period, just set the config variable
gc.pruneExpire to a different value; an example would be
[gc]
pruneExpire = 6.months.ago
or even "never", if you feel really paranoid.
Note that this new behaviour makes "--prune" be a no-op.
While adding a test to t5304-prune.sh (since it really tests the implicit
call to "prune"), also the original test for "prune --expire" was moved
there from t1410-reflog.sh, where it did not belong.

Earlier, 'git prune' would prune all loose unreachable objects.
This could be quite dangerous, as the objects could be used in
an ongoing operation.
This patch adds a mode to expire only loose, unreachable objects
which are older than a certain time. For example, by
git prune --expire 14.days
you can prune only those objects which are loose, unreachable
and older than 14 days (and thus probably outdated).
The implementation uses st.st_mtime rather than st.st_ctime,
because it can be tested better, using 'touch -d <time>' (and
omitting the test when the platform does not support that
command line switch).

This reverts commit 9b088c4e39.
Protecting 'mature' objects does not make it any safer. We should
admit that git-prune is inherently unsafe when run in parallel with
other operations without involving unwarranted locking overhead,
and with the latest git, even rebase and reset would not immediately
create crufts anyway.
This option gives grace period to objects that are unreachable
from the refs from getting pruned.
The default value is 24 hours and may be changed using
gc.prunegrace.

The logic in an earlier round to detect reflog entries that
point at a broken commit was not sufficient. Just like we do
not trust presense of a commit during pack transfer (we trust
only our refs), we should not trust a commit's presense, even if
the tree of that commit is complete.
A repository that had reflog enabled on some of the refs that
was rewound and then run git-repack or git-prune from older
versions of git can have reflog entries that point at a commit
that still exist but lack commits (or trees and blobs needed for
that commit) between it and some commit that is reachable from
one of the refs.
This revamps the logic -- the definition of "broken commit"
becomes: a commit that is not reachable from any of the refs and
there is a missing object among the commit, tree, or blob
objects reachable from it that is not reachable from any of the
refs. Entries in the reflog that refer to such a commit are
expired.
Since this computation involves traversing all the reachable
objects, i.e. it has the same cost as 'git prune', it is enabled
only when a new option --fix-stale. Fortunately, once this is
run, we should not have to ever worry about missing objects,
because the current prune and pack-objects know about reflogs
and protect objects referred by them.
Unfortunately, this will be absolutely necessary to help people
migrate to the newer prune and repack.
