On Windows, the remote repository name in, e.g., `git fetch foo\bar`
is clearly not a nickname for a configured remote repository. However,
the function valid_remote_nick() does not account for backslashes.
Use is_dir_sep() to check for both slashes and backslashes on Windows.
This was discovered while playing with Duy's patches that warn after
fopen() failures. The functions that read the branches and remotes
files are protected by a valid_remote_nick() check. Without this
change, a Windows style absolute path is incorrectly regarded as
nickname and is concatenated to a prefix and used with fopen(). This
triggers warnings because a colon in a path name is not allowed:
C:\Temp\gittest>git fetch C:\Temp\gittest
warning: unable to access '.git/remotes/C:\Temp\gittest': Invalid argument
warning: unable to access '.git/branches/C:\Temp\gittest': Invalid argument

Convert lookup_commit, lookup_commit_or_die,
lookup_commit_reference, and lookup_commit_reference_gently to take
struct object_id arguments.
Introduce a temporary in parse_object buffer in order to convert this
function. This is required since in order to convert parse_object and
parse_object_buffer, lookup_commit_reference_gently and
lookup_commit_or_die would need to be converted. Not introducing a
temporary would therefore require that lookup_commit_or_die take a
struct object_id *, but lookup_commit would take unsigned char *,
leaving a confusing and hard-to-use interface.
parse_object_buffer will lose this temporary in a later patch.

"git ls-remote" and "git archive --remote" are designed to work
without being in a directory under Git's control. However, recent
updates revealed that we randomly look into a directory called
.git/ without actually doing necessary set-up when working in a
repository. Stop doing so.
* jn/remote-helpers-with-git-dir:
remote helpers: avoid blind fall-back to ".git" when setting GIT_DIR
remote: avoid reading $GIT_DIR config in non-repo
The "git ls-remote" command can be run outside of a
repository, but needs to look up configured remotes. The
config code is smart enough to handle this case itself, but
we also check the historical "branches" and "remotes" paths
in $GIT_DIR. The git_path() function causes us to blindly
look at ".git/remotes", even if we know we aren't in a git
repository.
For now, this is just an unlikely bug (you probably don't
have such a file if you're not in a repository), but it will
become more obvious once we merge b1ef400ee (setup_git_env:
avoid blind fall-back to ".git", 2016-10-20):
[now]
$ git ls-remote
fatal: No remote configured to list refs from.
[with b1ef400ee]
$ git ls-remote
fatal: BUG: setup_git_env called without repository
We can fix this by skipping these sources entirely when
we're outside of a repository.
The test is a little more complex than the demonstration
above. Rather than detect the correct behavior by parsing
the error message, we can actually set up a case where the
remote name we give is a valid repository, but b1ef400ee
would cause us to die in the configuration step.
This test doesn't fail now, but it future-proofs us for the
b1ef400ee change.

"git <cmd> @{push}" on a detached HEAD used to segfault; it has
been corrected to error out with a message.
* km/branch-get-push-while-detached:
branch_get_push: do not segfault when HEAD is detached
With anticipatory tweaking for remotes defined in ~/.gitconfig
(e.g. "remote.origin.prune" set to true, even though there may or
may not actually be "origin" remote defined in a particular Git
repository), "git remote rename" and other commands misinterpreted
and behaved as if such a non-existing remote actually existed.
* js/remote-rename-with-half-configured-remote:
remote rename: more carefully determine whether a remote is configured
remote rename: demonstrate a bogus "remote exists" bug
One of the really nice features of the ~/.gitconfig file is that users
can override defaults by their own preferred settings for all of their
repositories.
One such default that some users like to override is whether the
"origin" remote gets auto-pruned or not. The user would simply call
git config --global remote.origin.prune true
and from now on all "origin" remotes would be pruned automatically when
fetching into the local repository.
There is just one catch: now Git thinks that the "origin" remote is
configured, even if the repository config has no [remote "origin"]
section at all, as it does not realize that the "prune" setting was
configured globally and that there really is no "origin" remote
configured in this repository.
That is a problem e.g. when renaming a remote to a new name, when Git
may be fooled into thinking that there is already a remote of that new
name.
Let's fix this by paying more attention to *where* the remote settings
came from: if they are configured in the local repository config, we
must not overwrite them. If they were configured elsewhere, we cannot
overwrite them to begin with, as we only write the repository config.
There is only one caller of remote_is_configured() (in `git fetch`) that
may want to take remotes into account even if they were configured
outside the repository config; all other callers essentially try to
prevent the Git command from overwriting settings in the repository
config.
To accommodate that fact, the remote_is_configured() function now
requires a parameter that states whether the caller is interested in all
remotes, or only in those that were configured in the repository config.
Many thanks to Jeff King whose tireless review helped with settling for
nothing less than the current strategy.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

The main motivation for this cleanup is to switch our

Since we have the strbuf, we can make use of strbuf_rtrim().
While we're here, we can also simplify the parsing of each
line. First, we can use skip_prefix() to avoid some magic
numbers.
But second, we can avoid splitting the parsing and actions
for each line into two stages. Right now we figure out which
type of line we have, set an int to a magic number,
skip any intermediate whitespace, and then act on
the resulting value based on the magic number.
Instead, let's factor the whitespace skipping into a

This function does a lot of manual string handling, and has
some unnecessary limits. This patch cleans up a number of
things:
1. Drop the arbitrary 1000-byte limit on the size of the
remote name (we do not have such a limit in any of the
other remote-reading mechanisms).
2. Replace fgets into a fixed-size buffer with a strbuf,
eliminating any limits on the length of the URL.
3. Replace manual whitespace handling with strbuf_trim
(since we now have a strbuf). This also gets rid
of a call to strcpy, and the confusing reuse of the "p"
pointer for multiple purposes.
4. We currently build up the refspecs over multiple strbuf
calls. We do this to handle the fact that the URL "frag"
may not be present. But rather than have multiple
conditionals, let's just default "frag" to "master".
This lets us format the refspecs with a single xstrfmt.
It's shorter, and easier to see what the final string
looks like.

local branch is named after the remote name, not after
the branch name on the remote side).

Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid"

To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap
old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called
"each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new
interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be
wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be
used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter().
This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple,
mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref"
family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be

In a triangular workflow, the place you pull from and the

branch_get_upstream for the former, this patch adds
branch_get_push for the latter (and as the former implements
@{upstream}, so will this implement @{push} in a future

Note that the memory-handling for the return value bears
some explanation. Some code paths require allocating a new
string, and some let us return an existing string. We should
provide a consistent interface to the caller, so it knows
whether to free the result or not.
We could do so by xstrdup-ing any existing strings, and
having the caller always free. But that makes us
inconsistent with branch_get_upstream, so we would prefer to
simply take ownership of the resulting string. We do so by

After calling stat_tracking_info, callers often want to
print the name of the upstream branch (in addition to the
tracking count). To do this, they have to access
branch->merge->dst[0] themselves. This is not wrong, as the
return value from stat_tracking_info tells us whether we
have an upstream branch or not. But it is a bit leaky, as we
make an assumption about how it calculated the upstream
name.
Instead, let's add an out-parameter that lets the caller
know the upstream name we found.
As a bonus, we can get rid of the unusual tri-state return
from the function. We no longer need to use it to
differentiate between "no tracking config" and "tracking ref
does not exist" (since you can check the upstream_name for
that), so we can just use the usual 0/-1 convention for
success/error.

The error-diagnosis logic in branch_get_upstream was copied
straight from sha1_name.c in the previous commit. However,
because we check all error cases and upfront and then later
diagnose them, the logic is a bit tangled. In particular:
- if branch->merge[0] is NULL, we may end up dereferencing
it for an error message (in practice, it should never be
NULL, so this is probably not a triggerable bug).
- We may enter the code path because branch->merge[0]->dst
is NULL, but we then start our error diagnosis by
checking whether our local branch exists. But that is
only relevant to diagnosing missing merge config, not a
missing tracking ref; our diagnosis may hide the real
problem.
Instead, let's just use a sequence of "if" blocks to check
for each error type, diagnose it, and return NULL.

When the previous commit introduced the branch_get_upstream
helper, there was one call-site that could not be converted:
the one in sha1_name.c, which gives detailed error messages
for each possible failure.
Let's teach the helper to optionally report these specific
errors. This lets us convert another callsite, and means we
can use the helper in other locations that want to give the
same error messages.
The logic and error messages come straight from sha1_name.c,
with the exception that we start each error with a lowercase
letter, as is our usual style (note that a few tests need
updated as a result).

When remote.c loads its config, it records the
branch.*.pushremote for the current branch along with the
global remote.pushDefault value, and then binds them into a
single value: the default push for the current branch. We
then pass this value (which may be NULL) to remote_get_1
when looking up a remote for push.
This has a few downsides:
1. It's confusing. The early-binding of the "current
value" led to bugs like the one fixed by 98b406f
(remote: handle pushremote config in any order,
2014-02-24). And the fact that pushremotes fall back to
ordinary remotes is not explicit at all; it happens
because remote_get_1 cannot tell the difference between
"we are not asking for the push remote" and "there is
no push remote configured".
2. It throws away intermediate data. After read_config()
finishes, we have no idea what the value of
remote.pushDefault was, because the string has been
overwritten by the current branch's
branch.*.pushremote.
3. It doesn't record other data. We don't note the
branch.*.pushremote value for anything but the current
branch.
Let's make this more like the fetch-remote config. We'll
record the pushremote for each branch, and then explicitly
compute the correct remote for the current branch at the
time of reading.

When we create each branch struct, we fill in the
"remote_name" field from the config, and then fill in the
actual "remote" field (with a "struct remote") based on that
name. However, it turns out that nobody really cares about
the latter field. The only two sites that access it at all
are:
1. git-merge, which uses it to notice when the branch does
not have a remote defined. But we can easily replace this
with looking at remote_name instead.
2. remote.c itself, when setting up the @{upstream} merge
config. But we don't need to save the "remote" in the
"struct branch" for that; we can just look it up for
the duration of the operation.
So there is no need to have both fields; they are redundant
with each other (the struct remote contains the name, or you
can look up the struct from the name). It would be nice to
simplify this, especially as we are going to add matching
pushremote config in a future patch (and it would be nice to
keep them consistent).
So which one do we keep and which one do we get rid of?
If we had a lot of callers accessing the struct, it would be
more efficient to keep it (since you have to do a lookup to
go from the name to the struct, but not vice versa). But we
don't have a lot of callers; we have exactly one, so
efficiency doesn't matter. We can decide this based on
simplicity and readability.
And the meaning of the struct value is somewhat unclear. Is
it always the remote matching remote_name? If remote_name is
NULL (i.e., no per-branch config), does the struct fall back
to the "origin" remote, or is it also NULL? These questions
will get even more tricky with pushremotes, whose fallback
behavior is more complicated. So let's just store the name,
which pretty clearly represents the branch.*.remote config.
Any lookup or fallback behavior can then be implemented in
helper functions.

When we call branch_get() to lookup or create a "struct
branch", we make sure the "merge" field is filled in so that
callers can access it. But the conditions under which we do
so are a little confusing, and can lead to two funny
situations:
1. If there's no branch.*.remote config, we cannot provide
branch->merge (because it is really just an application
of branch.*.merge to our remote's refspecs). But
branch->merge_nr may be non-zero, leading callers to be
believe they can access branch->merge (e.g., in
branch_merge_matches and elsewhere).
It doesn't look like this can cause a segfault in
practice, as most code paths dealing with merge config
will bail early if there is no remote defined. But it's
a bit of a dangerous construct.
We can fix this by setting merge_nr to "0" explicitly
when we realize that we have no merge config. Note that
merge_nr also counts the "merge_name" fields (which we
_do_ have; that's how merge_nr got incremented), so we
will "lose" access to them, in the sense that we forget
how many we had. But no callers actually care; we use
merge_name only while iteratively reading the config,
and then convert it to the final "merge" form the first
time somebody calls branch_get().
2. We set up the "merge" field every time branch_get is
called, even if it has already been done. This leaks
memory.
It's not a big deal in practice, since most code paths
will access only one branch, or perhaps each branch
only one time. But if you want to be pathological, you
can leak arbitrary memory with:
yes @{upstream} | head -1000 | git rev-list --stdin
We can fix this by skipping setup when branch->merge is
already non-NULL.
In addition to those two fixes, this patch pushes the "do we
need to setup merge?" logic down into set_merge, where it is
a bit easier to follow.

When we read the remote config from disk, we update a
default_remote_name variable if we see branch.*.remote
config for the current branch. This isn't wrong, or even all
that complicated, but it is a bit simpler (because it
reduces our overall state) to just lazily compute the
default when we need it.
The ulterior motive here is that the push config uses a
similar structure, and _is_ much more complicated as a
result. That will be simplified in a future patch, and it's
more readable if the logic for remotes and push-remotes
matches.
Note that we also used default_remote_name as a signal that
the remote config has been loaded; after this patch, we now
use an explicit flag.

When checking out a branch that is set to build on top of another
branch (often, a remote-tracking branch), "git checkout" reports how
your work relates to the other branch, e.g.
Your branch is behind 'origin/master', and can be fast-forwarded.
Back when this feature was introduced, this was only done for
branches that build on remote-tracking branches, but 5e6e2b48 (Make
local branches behave like remote branches when --tracked,
2009-04-01) added support to give the same report for branches that
build on other local branches (i.e. branches whose branch.*.remote
variables are set to '.'). Unlike the support for the branches
building on remote-tracking branches, however, this did not take
into account the fact that branch.*.merge configuration is allowed
to record a shortened branch name.
When branch.*.merge is set to 'master' (not 'refs/heads/master'),
i.e. "my branch builds on the local 'master' branch", this caused
"git checkout" to report:
Your branch is based on 'master', but the upstream is gone.
The upstream is our repository and is definitely not gone, so this
output is nonsense.
The fix is fairly obvious; just like the branch name is DWIMed when
"git pull" merges from the 'master' branch without complaint on such
a branch, the name of the branch the current branch builds upon
needs to be DWIMed the same way.

Remotes are stored as an array, so looking one up or adding one without
duplication is an O(n) operation. Reading an entire config file full of
remotes is O(n^2) in the number of remotes. For a repository with tens of
thousands of remotes, the running time can hit multiple minutes.
Hash tables are way faster. So we add a hashmap from remote name to
struct remote and use it for all lookups. The time to add a new remote to
a repo that already has 50,000 remotes drops from ~2 minutes to < 1
second.
We retain the old array of remotes so iterators proceed in config-file
order.

Since f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs,

command line of "git fetch" literally, and instead started mapping
it via remote.$name.fetch refspecs. This allows
$ git fetch origin master
from the 'origin' repository, which is configured with
[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
to update refs/remotes/origin/master with the result, as if the
command line were
$ git fetch origin +master:refs/remotes/origin/master
to reduce surprises and improve usability. Before that change, a
refspec on the command line without a colon was only to fetch the
history and leave the result in FETCH_HEAD, without updating the
remote-tracking branches.
When you are simulating a fetch from you by your mothership with a
push by you into your mothership, instead of having:
[remote "satellite"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*
on the mothership repository and running:
mothership$ git fetch satellite
you would have:
[remote "mothership"]
push = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*
on your satellite machine, and run:
satellite$ git push mothership
Because we so far did not make the corresponding change to the push
side, this command:
satellite$ git push mothership master
does _not_ allow you on the satellite to only push 'master' out but
still to the usual destination (i.e. refs/remotes/satellite/master).

The old code called string_list_lookup(), and if that failed called
string_list_insert(), thus doing the bisection search through the
string list twice in the latter code path.
Instead, just call string_list_insert() right away. If an entry for
that peer reference name already existed, then its util pointer is
always non-NULL.
Of course this doesn't change the fact that the repeated
string_list_insert() calls make the function scale like O(N^2) if the
input reference list is not already approximately sorted.

Our default_remote_name starts at "origin", but may be
overridden by the config file. In the former case, we
allocate a new string, but in the latter case, we point to
the remote name in an existing "struct branch".
This gives the variable inconsistent free() semantics (we
are sometimes responsible for freeing the string and
sometimes pointing to somebody else's storage), and causes a
small leak when the allocated string is overridden by
config.
We can fix both by simply dropping the extra copy and
pointing to the string literal.

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.
The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).
The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

Allow fetch.prune and remote.*.prune configuration variables to be set,
and "git fetch" to behave as if "--prune" is given.
"git fetch" that honors remote.*.prune is fine, but I wonder if we

remote.*.prune should not be just a boolean, but a 4-way "none",
"push", "fetch", "both"?

In order to see what the current branch is tracking, one way is using
"git branch -v -v", but branches other than the current are also
reported. Another way is using "git status", such as:
$ git status
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
...
But this will not work if there is no change between the current
branch and its upstream. Always report upstream tracking info
even if there is no difference, so that "git status" is consistent
for checking tracking info for current branch. E.g.
$ git status
# On branch feature1
# Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'.
...
$ git status -bs
## feature1...github/feature1
...
$ git checkout feature1

Command "git branch -vv" will report tracking branches, but invalid
tracking branches are also reported. This is because the function
stat_tracking_info() can not distinguish invalid tracking branch
from other cases which it would not like to report, such as
there is no upstream settings at all, or nothing is changed between
one branch and its upstream.
Junio suggested missing upstream should be reported [1] like:
$ git branch -v -v
master e67ac84 initial
* topic 3fc0f2a [topicbase: gone] topic
$ git status
# On branch topic
# Your branch is based on 'topicbase', but the upstream is gone.
# (use "git branch --unset-upstream" to fixup)
...
$ git status -b -s
## topic...topicbase [gone]
...
In order to do like that, we need to distinguish these three cases
(i.e. no tracking, with configured but no longer valid tracking, and
with tracking) in function stat_tracking_info(). So the refactored
function stat_tracking_info() has three return values: -1 (with "gone"
base), 0 (no base), and 1 (with base).
If the caller does not like to report tracking info when nothing
changed between the branch and its upstream, simply checks if
num_theirs and num_ours are both 0.

This plugs the push_cas_option data collected by the command line

apply_push_cas(), which is called after match_push_refs() has
already been called.
At this point, we know which remote we are talking to, and what
remote refs we are going to update, so we can fill in the details
that may have been missing from the command line, such as
(1) what abbreviated refname the user gave us matches the actual
refname at the remote; and
(2) which remote-tracking branch in our local repository to read
the value of the object to expect at the remote.
to populate the old_sha1_expect[] field of each of the remote ref.
As stated in the documentation, the use of remote-tracking branch
as the default is a tentative one, and we may come up with a better

Update "git push" and "git send-pack" to parse this commnd line
option.
The intended sematics is:
* "--force-with-lease" alone, without specifying the details, will
protect _all_ remote refs that are going to be updated by
requiring their current value to be the same as some reasonable
default, unless otherwise specified;
* "--force-with-lease=refname", without specifying the expected
value, will protect that refname, if it is going to be updated,
by requiring its current value to be the same as some reasonable
default.
* "--force-with-lease=refname:value" will protect that refname, if
it is going to be updated, by requiring its current value to be
the same as the specified value; and
* "--no-force-with-lease" will cancel all the previous --force-with-lease on the
command line.
For now, "some reasonable default" is tentatively defined as "the
value of the remote-tracking branch we have for the ref of the
remote being updated", and it is an error if we do not have such a
remote-tracking branch. But this is known to be fragile, its use is
not yet recommended, and hopefully we will find more reasonable
default as we gain experience with this feature. The manual marks
the feature as experimental unless the expected value is specified
explicitly for this reason.
Because the command line options are parsed _before_ we know which
remote we are pushing to, there needs further processing to the
parsed data after we instantiate the transport object to:
* expand "refname" given by the user to a full refname to be
matched with the list of "struct ref" used in match_push_refs()
and set_ref_status_for_push(); and
* learning the actual local ref that is the remote-tracking branch
for the specified remote ref.
Further, some processing need to be deferred until we find the set
of remote refs and match_push_refs() returns in order to find the
ones that need to be checked after explicit ones have been processed
for "--force-with-lease" (no specific details).
These post-processing will be the topic of the next patch.
This option was originally called "cas" (for "compare and swap"),
the name which nobody liked because it was too technical. The
second attempt called it "lockref" (because it is conceptually like
pushing after taking a lock) but the word "lock" was hated because
it implied that it may reject push by others, which is not the way
this option works. This round calls it "force-with-lease". You
assume you took the lease on the ref when you fetched to decide what
the rebased history should be, and you can push back only if the
lease has not been broken.

Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch
the other side already has removed will stay forever. Some people
want to always run "git fetch --prune".
To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching
from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables
"fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune":
- "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations.
- "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote.
The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune
option from the command line will override the configured default.
Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't
keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune
without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by
default.

The definition of "struct ref" in "cache.h", a header file so

about the local ref used by sha1-name API to name local objects.
It is what refspecs are expanded into, after finding out what refs
the other side has, to define what refs are updated after object
transfer succeeds to what values. It belongs to "remote.h" together
with "struct refspec".
While we are at it, also move the types and functions related to the

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
When pushing using a matching refspec or a pattern refspec, each ref
in the local repository must be paired with a ref advertised by the
remote server. This is accomplished by using the refspec to transform
the name of the local ref into the name it should have in the remote
repository, and then performing a linear search through the list of
remote refs to see if the remote ref was advertised by the remote
system.
Each of these lookups has O(n) complexity and makes match_push_refs()
be an O(m*n) operation, where m is the number of local refs and n is
the number of remote refs. If there are many refs 100,000+, then this
ref matching can take a significant amount of time. Let's prepare an
index of the remote refs to allow searching in O(log n) time and
reduce the complexity of match_push_refs() to O(m log n).
We prepare the index lazily so that it is only created when necessary.
So, there should be no impact when _not_ using a matching or pattern
refspec, i.e. when pushing using only explicit refspecs.
Dry-run push of a repository with 121,913 local and remote refs:
before after
real 1m40.582s 0m0.804s
user 1m39.914s 0m0.515s
sys 0m0.125s 0m0.106s
The creation of the index has overhead. So, if there are very few
local refs, then it could take longer to create the index than it
would have taken to just perform n linear lookups into the remote
ref space. Using the index should provide some improvement when
the number of local refs is roughly greater than the log of the
number of remote refs (i.e. m >= log n). The pathological case is
when there is a single local ref and very many remote refs.
Dry-run push of a repository with 121,913 remote refs and a single
local ref:
before after
real 0m0.525s 0m0.566s
user 0m0.243s 0m0.279s
sys 0m0.075s 0m0.099s
Using an index takes 41 ms longer, or roughly 7.8% longer.
Jeff King measured a no-op push of a single ref into a remote repo
with 370,000 refs:
before after
real 0m1.087s 0m1.156s
user 0m1.344s 0m1.412s
sys 0m0.288s 0m0.284s
Using an index takes 69 ms longer, or roughly 6.3% longer.
None of the measurements above required transferring any objects to
the remote repository. If the push required transferring objects and
updating the refs in the remote repository, the impact of preparing
the search index would be even smaller.
A similar operation is performed in the reverse direction when pruning
using a matching or pattern refspec. Let's avoid O(m*n) behavior in
the same way by lazily preparing an index on the local refs.

push: finishing touches to explain REJECT_ALREADY_EXISTS better

When we push to update an existing ref, if:
* the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
* the object we are pushing is not a commit,
it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.
If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.
In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.
Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

Regression fix to stop "git push" complaining "target ref already
exists", when it is not the real reason the command rejected the
request (e.g. non-fast-forward).
* cr/push-force-tag-update:
push: fix "refs/tags/ hierarchy cannot be updated without --force"
When pushing to update a branch with a commit that is not a
descendant of the commit at the tip, a wrong message "already
exists" was given, instead of the correct "non-fast-forward", if we
do not have the object sitting in the destination repository at the
tip of the ref we are updating.
The primary cause of the bug is that the check in a new helper
function is_forwardable() assumed both old and new objects are
available and can be checked, which is not always the case.
The way the caller uses the result of this function is also wrong.
If the helper says "we do not want to let this push go through", the
caller unconditionally translates it into "we blocked it because the
destination already exists", which is not true at all in this case.
Fix this by doing these three things:
* Remove unnecessary not_forwardable from "struct ref"; it is only
used inside set_ref_status_for_push();
* Make "refs/tags/" the only hierarchy that cannot be replaced
without --force;
* Remove the misguided attempt to force that everything that
updates an existing ref has to be a commit outside "refs/tags/"
hierarchy.
The policy last one tried to implement may later be resurrected and
extended to ensure fast-forwardness (defined as "not losing
objects", extending from the traditional "not losing commits from
the resulting history") when objects that are not commit are
involved (e.g. an annotated tag in hierarchies outside refs/tags),
but such a logic belongs to "is this a fast-forward?" check that is
done by ref_newer(); is_forwardable(), which is now removed, was not
the right place to do so.

In a repository cloned from somewhere else, you typically have a
symbolic ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD pointing at the 'master'
remote-tracking ref that is next to it. When fetching into such a
repository with "git fetch --mirror" from another repository that
was similarly cloned, the implied wildcard refspec refs/*:refs/*
will end up asking to update refs/remotes/origin/HEAD with the
object at refs/remotes/origin/HEAD at the remote side, while asking
to update refs/remotes/origin/master the same way. Depending on the
order the two updates happen, the latter one would find that the
value of the ref before it is updated has changed from what the code
expects.
When the user asks to update the underlying ref via the symbolic ref
explicitly without using a wildcard refspec, e.g. "git fetch $there
refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/HEAD", we should still let him
do so, but when expanding wildcard refs, it will result in a more
intuitive outcome if we simply ignore local symbolic refs.
As the purpose of the symbolic ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD is to
follow the ref it points at (e.g. refs/remotes/origin/master), its
value would change when the underlying ref is updated.
Earlier commit da3efdb (receive-pack: detect aliased updates which

Pushes must already (by default) update to a commit-ish due to the fast-
forward check in set_ref_status_for_push(). But rejecting for not being
a fast-forward suggests the situation can be resolved with a merge.
Flag these updates (i.e., to a blob or a tree) as not forwardable so the
user is presented with more appropriate advice.
While updating *from* a tag object is potentially destructive, updating
*to* a tag is not. Additionally, a push to the refs/tags/ hierarchy is
already excluded from fast-forwarding, and refs/heads/ is protected from
anything but commit objects by a check in write_ref_sha1(). Thus
someone fast-forwarding to a tag is probably not doing so by accident.
Since updating to a tag is benign and unlikely to cause confusion, allow
it in case someone finds the behavior useful.

References are allowed to update from one commit-ish to another if the
former is an ancestor of the latter. This behavior is oriented to
branches which are expected to move with commits. Tag references are
expected to be static in a repository, though, thus an update to
something under refs/tags/ should be rejected unless the update is
forced.

For a fetch refspec (or the result of applying wildcard on one), we
always want the RHS to map to something inside "refs/" hierarchy.
This was split out from discarded jc/maint-push-refs-all topic.
* jc/maint-fetch-tighten-refname-check:
get_fetch_map(): tighten checks on dest refs
The code to check the refname we store the fetched result locally did not
bother checking the first 5 bytes of it, presumably assuming that it
always begin with "refs/". For a fetch refspec (or the result of applying
wildcard on one), we always want the RHS to map to something inside
"refs/" hierarchy, so let's spell that rule out in a more explicit way.

The error message from "git push $there :bogo" mentioned we tried
and failed to guess what ref is being deleted based on the LHS of
the refspec, which we don't.
# By Jeff King
* jk/push-delete-ref-error-message:
push: don't guess at qualifying remote refs on deletion
When we try to push a ref and the right-hand side of the
refspec does not find a match, we try to create it. If it is
not fully qualified, we try to guess where it would go in
the refs hierarchy based on the left-hand source side. If
the source side is not a ref, then we give up and give a
long explanatory message.
For deletions, however, this doesn't make any sense. We
would never want to create on the remote side, and if an
unqualified ref can't be matched, it is simply an error. The
current code handles this already because the left-hand side
is empty, and therefore does not give us a hint as to where
the right-hand side should go, and we properly error out.
Unfortunately, the error message is the long "we tried to
qualify this, but the source side didn't let us guess"
message, which is quite confusing.
Instead, we can just be more succinct and say "we can't
delete this because we couldn't find it". So before:
$ git push origin :bogus
error: unable to push to unqualified destination: bogus
The destination refspec neither matches an existing ref on the remote nor
begins with refs/, and we are unable to guess a prefix based on the source ref.
error: failed to push some refs to '$URL'
and now:
$ git push origin :bogus
error: unable to delete 'bogus': remote ref does not exist
error: failed to push some refs to '$URL'
It is tempting to also catch a fully-qualified ref like
"refs/heads/bogus" and generate the same error message.
However, that currently does not error out at all, and
instead gets sent to the remote side, which typically
generates a warning:
$ git push origin:refs/heads/bogus
remote: warning: Deleting a non-existent ref.
To $URL
- [deleted] bogus
While it would be nice to catch this error early, a
client-side error would mean aborting the push entirely and
changing push's exit code. For example, right now you can
do:
$ git push origin refs/heads/foo refs/heads/bar
and end up in a state where "foo" and "bar" are deleted,
whether both of them currently exist or not (and see an
error only if we actually failed to contact the server).
Generating an error would cause a regression for this use
case.

The function match_name_with_pattern() is called twice, once to see if a
pattern matches with the name, and again to learn what the matched pattern
maps the name to. Since check_pattern_match() is only used in one place,
we can just reorganize it to make a single call and fetch the values at
the same time.
This changes the meaning of check_pattern_match() that used to check which
pattern in the array of refspecs matched the given ref, to return the name
of the remote ref the given ref is mapped to.
Rename it to get_ref_match() which actually describes more closely what
it's actually doing now.

resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not
safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens,
the buffer may be changed. Many call sites though do not care about
this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not.
Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref()
calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on
to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.

If the user gave us refspecs on the command line, we should use those
when deciding whether to prune a ref instead of relying on the
refspecs in the config.
Previously, running
git fetch --prune origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
would delete every other ref under the origin namespace because we
were using the refspec to filter the available refs but using the
configured refspec to figure out if a ref had been deleted on the
remote. This is clearly the wrong thing to do.
Change prune_refs and get_stale_heads to simply accept a list of
references and a list of refspecs. The caller of either function needs
to decide what refspecs should be used to decide whether a ref is
stale.

The guess_remote_head function tries to figure out where a
remote's HEAD is pointing by comparing the sha1 of the
remote's HEAD with the sha1 of various refs found on the
remote. However, we were too liberal in matching refs, and
would match tags or remote tracking branches, even though
these things could not possibly be referenced by the HEAD
symbolic ref (since git will detach when checking them out).
As a result, a clone of a remote repository with a detached
HEAD might write "refs/tags/*" into our local HEAD, which is
bogus. The resulting HEAD should be detached.
The other related code path is remote.c's get_head_names()
(which is used for, among other things, "set-head -a"). This was
not affected, however, as that function feeds only refs from
refs/heads to guess_remote_head.

If this is set, the url is not required, and the transport always uses
a helper named "git-remote-<value>".
It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible
configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls
for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system
used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects
how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the
interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the
foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that
method may be used directly.
