Michael Haggerty 8bf90dc9bd write_ref_sha1(): only invalidate the loose ref cache
Since write_ref_sha1() can only write loose refs and cannot write
symbolic refs, there is no need for it to invalidate the packed ref
cache.

Make invalidate_ref_cache() an official part of the refs API.  It is
currently a fact of life that code outside of refs.c mucks about with
references.  This change gives such code a way of informing the refs
module that it should no longer trust its cache.

It is the cache that is being invalidated, not the references, and the
new name makes this unambiguous.  Rename other items analogously:

* struct cached_refs -> struct ref_cache
* cached_refs (the variable) -> ref_cache
* clear_cached_refs() -> clear_ref_cache()
* create_cached_refs() -> create_ref_cache()

Junio C Hamano b0eab01a48 branch -m/-M: remove undocumented RENAMED-REF
The commit message for c976d41 (git-branch: add options and tests for
branch renaming, 2006-11-28) mentions RENAME_REF but otherwise this is not
documented anywhere, and it does not appear in any of the tests.

Worse yet, the name of the actual file is "RENAMED-REF".

This was supposed to hold the commit object name at the tip of the branch
the most recent "branch -m/-M" renamed, but that is not necessary in order
to be able to recover from a mistake. Even when "branch -M A B" overwrites
an existing branch B, what is kept in RENAMED-REF is the commit at the tip
of the original branch A, not the commit B from the now-lost branch.

Just remove this unused "feature".

Brandon Casey 687296960d refs.c: abort ref search if ref array is empty
The bsearch() implementation on IRIX 6.5 segfaults if it is passed NULL
for the base array argument even if number-of-elements is zero.  So, let's
work around it by detecting an empty array and aborting early.

This is a useful optimization in its own right anyway, since we avoid a
useless allocation and initialization of the ref_entry when the ref array
is empty.

Brandon Casey 43d20a8c50 refs.c: ensure struct whose member may be passed to realloc is initialized
The variable "refs" is allocated on the stack but is not initialized.  It
is passed to read_packed_refs(), and its struct members may eventually be
passed to add_ref() and ALLOC_GROW().  Since the structure has not been
initialized, its members may contain random non-zero values.  So let's
initialize it.

The call sequence looks something like this:

   resolve_gitlink_packed_ref(...) {

       struct cached_refs refs;
       ...
       read_packed_refs(f, &refs);
       ...
   }

   read_packed_refs(FILE*, struct cached_refs *cached_refs) {
       ...
       add_ref(name, sha1, flag, &cached_refs->packed, &last);
       ...
   }

   add_ref(..., struct ref_array *refs, struct ref_entry **) {
       ...
       ALLOC_GROW(refs->refs, refs->nr + 1, refs->alloc);

Immediately strip off trailing spaces and null-terminate the string
holding the contents of the reference file; this allows the use of
string functions and avoids the need to keep separate track of the
string's length.  (get_sha1_hex() fails automatically if the string is
too short.)

Michael Haggerty a40e6fb67a Change check_refname_format() to reject unnormalized refnames
Since much of the infrastructure does not work correctly with
unnormalized refnames, change check_refname_format() to reject them.

Similarly, change "git check-ref-format" to reject unnormalized
refnames by default.  But add an option --normalize, which causes "git
check-ref-format" to normalize the refname before checking its format,
and print the normalized refname.  This is exactly the behavior of the
old --print option, which is retained but deprecated.

Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what
is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git

suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and
"refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other.

Previously most bad characters were indicated by returning 1, but "*"
was special-cased to return 2 instead of 1.  One caller examined the
return value to see whether the special case occurred.

But it is easier (to document and understand) for bad_ref_char()
simply to return a boolean value, treating "*" like any other bad
character.  Special-case the handling of "*" (which only occurs in
very specific circumstances) at the caller.  The resulting calling
code thereby also becomes more transparent.

Julian Phillips e9c4c11165 refs: Use binary search to lookup refs faster
Currently we linearly search through lists of refs when we need to
find a specific ref.  This can be very slow if we need to lookup a
large number of refs.  By changing to a binary search we can make this
faster.

In order to be able to use a binary search we need to change from
using linked lists to arrays, which we can manage using ALLOC_GROW.

We can now also use the standard library qsort function to sort the
refs arrays.

Julian Phillips b4f223c636 Don't sort ref_list too early
get_ref_dir is called recursively for subdirectories, which means that
we were calling sort_ref_list for each directory of refs instead of
once for all the refs.  This is a massive wast of processing, so now
just call sort_ref_list on the result of the top-level get_ref_dir, so
that the sort is only done once.

In the common case of only a few different directories of refs the
difference isn't very noticable, but it becomes very noticeable when
you have a large number of direcotries containing refs (e.g. as
created by Gerrit).

Josh Triplett a1bea2c1fc ref namespaces: infrastructure
Add support for dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple
namespaces, each of which can have its own branches, tags, and HEAD.
Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from
and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs
to operations such as git-gc.

Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository
avoids storing duplicate copies of the same objects, such as when
storing multiple branches of the same source.  The alternates mechanism
provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not
prevent duplication between new objects added to the repositories
without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.

To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to
the namespace.  For each ref namespace, git stores the corresponding
refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/.  For example,
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/.  You can
also specify namespaces via the --namespace option to git.

Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of
namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under
refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/.  This makes paths in
GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the same result as cloning with
GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar.  It
also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as
foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise generate directory/file conflicts
within the refs directory.

Add the infrastructure for ref namespaces: handle the GIT_NAMESPACE
environment variable and --namespace option, and support iterating over
refs in a namespace.

Josh Triplett b3cfc4066d Fix prefix handling in ref iteration functions
The do_for_each_ref iteration function accepts a prefix and a trim, and
checks for the prefix on each ref before passing in that ref; it also
supports trimming off part of the ref before passing it.  However,
do_for_each_ref used trim as the length of the prefix to check, ignoring
the actual length of the prefix.  Switch to using prefixcmp, checking
the entire length of the prefix string, to properly support a trim value
different than the length of the prefix.

Several callers passed a prefix of "refs/" to filter out everything
outside of refs/, but a trim of 0 to avoid trimming off the "refs/"; the
trim of 0 meant that the filter of "refs/" no longer applied.  Change
these callers to pass an empty prefix instead, to avoid changing the
existing behavior.  Various callers count on this lack of filtering,
such as receive-pack which uses add_extra_ref to add alternates as refs
named ".have"; adding filtering would break that, causing
t5501-fetch-push-alternates.sh to fail.  That lack of filtering doesn't
currently have any other effect, since the loose ref functions can never
supply refs outside of "refs/", and packed-refs will not normally
include such refs unless manually edited.

Junio C Hamano c17b229454 checkout -b <name>: correctly detect existing branch
When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string
to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists.

The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref().

A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to
forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe
name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part
comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the
describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag
whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar")
to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should
be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.

Pierre Habouzit 765c22588d fix git branch -m in presence of cross devices
When you have for example a bare repository stored on NFS, and that you
create new workdirs locally (using contrib's git-new-workdir), logs/refs
is a symlink to a different device. Hence when the reflogs are renamed,
all must happen below logs/refs or one gets cross device rename errors
like:

  git branch -m foo
  error: unable to move logfile logs/refs/heads/master to tmp-renamed-log: Invalid cross-device link
  fatal: Branch rename failed

The fix is hence to use logs/refs/.tmp-renamed-log as a temporary log
name, instead of just tmp-renamed-log.

2010-03-24 16:25:34 -07:00
Junio C Hamano e01de1c912 refs: ref entry with NULL sha1 is can be a dangling symref
Brandon Casey noticed that t5505 had accidentally broken its && chain,
hiding inconsistency between the code that writes the warning to the
standard output and the test that expects to see the warning on the
standard error, which was introduced by f8948e2 (remote prune: warn
dangling symrefs, 2009-02-08).

It turns out that the issue is deeper than that.  After f8948e2, a symref
that is dangling is marked with a NULL sha1, and the idea of using NULL
sha1 to mean a deleted ref was scrapped, but somehow a follow-up eafb452
(do_one_ref(): null_sha1 check is not about broken ref, 2009-07-22)
incorrectly reorganized do_one_ref(), still thinking NULL sha1 is never
used in the code.

Fix this by:

 - adopt Brandon's fix to t5505 test;

 - introduce REF_BROKEN flag to mark a ref that fails to resolve (dangling
   symref);

 - move the check for broken ref back inside the "if we are skipping
   dangling refs" code block.

René Scharfe 8ca7880356 for_each_recent_reflog_ent(): use strbuf, fix offset handling
As Vladimir reported, "git log -g refs/stash" surprisingly showed the reflog
of HEAD if the message in the reflog file was too long.  To fix this, convert
for_each_recent_reflog_ent() to use strbuf_getwholeline() instead of fgets(),
for safety and to avoid any size limits for reflog entries.

Also reverse the logic of the part of the function that only looks at file
tails.  It used to close the file if fgets() succeeded.  The following
fgets() call in the while loop was likely to fail in this case, too, so
passing an offset to for_each_recent_reflog_ent() never worked.  Change it to
error out if strbuf_getwholeline() fails instead.

Junio C Hamano eafb45265b do_one_ref(): null_sha1 check is not about broken ref
f8948e2 (remote prune: warn dangling symrefs, 2009-02-08) introduced a
more dangerous variant of for_each_ref() family that skips the check for
dangling refs, but it also made another unrelated check optional by
mistake.

The check to see if a ref points at 0{40} is not about brokenness, but is
about a possible future plan to represent a deleted ref by writing 40 "0"
in a loose ref when there is a stale version of the same ref already in
.git/packed-refs, so that we can implement deletion of a ref without
having to rewrite the packed refs file excluding the ref being deleted.

This check has to live outside of the conditional.

Jeff King f475e08edb lock_ref: inform callers of unavailable ref
One of the ways that locking might fail is that there is a
DF conflict between two refs (e.g., you want to lock
"foo/bar" but "foo" already exists). In this case, we return
an error, but there is no way for the caller to know the
specific problem.

This patch sets errno to ENOTDIR, which is the most sensible
code. It's what we would see if the refs were stored purely
in the filesystem (but these days we must check the
namespace manually due to packed refs).

  called from such a function
- it is in a static function, returning void and the function is only
  called from a builtin main function (cmd_)

Jeff King 7c2b3029df make get_short_ref a public function
Often we want to shorten a full ref name to something "prettier"
to show a user. For example, "refs/heads/master" is often shown
simply as "master", or "refs/remotes/origin/master" is shown as
"origin/master".

Many places in the code use a very simple formula: skip common
prefixes like refs/heads, refs/remotes, etc. This is codified in
the prettify_ref function.

for-each-ref has a more correct (but more expensive) approach:
consider the ref lookup rules, and try shortening as much as
possible while remaining unambiguous.

This patch makes the latter strategy globally available as
shorten_unambiguous_ref.

Shawn O. Pearce 3e262b95c5 Don't permit ref/branch names to end with ".lock"
We already skip over loose refs under $GIT_DIR/refs if the name
ends with ".lock", so creating a branch named "foo.lock" will not
appear in the output of "git branch", "git for-each-ref", nor will
its commit be considered reachable by "git rev-list --all".

In the latter case this is especially evil, as it may cause
repository corruption when objects reachable only through such a
ref are deleted by "git prune".

It should be reasonably safe to deny use of ".lock" as a ref suffix.
In prior versions of Git such branches would be "phantom branches";
you can create it, but you can't see it in "git branch" output.

Junio C Hamano cbdffe4093 check_ref_format(): tighten refname rules
This changes the rules for refnames to forbid:

 (1) a refname that contains "@{" in it.

     Some people and foreign SCM converter may have named their branches
     as frotz@24 and we still want to keep supporting it.

     However, "git branch frotz@{24}" is a disaster.  It cannot even
     checked out because "git checkout frotz@{24}" will interpret it as
     "detach the HEAD at twenty-fourth reflog entry of the frotz branch".

 (2) a refname that ends with a dot.

     We already reject a path component that begins with a dot, primarily
     to avoid ambiguous range interpretation.  If we allowed ".B" as a
     valid ref, it is unclear if "A...B" means "in dot-B but not in A" or
     "either in A or B but not in both".

     But for this to be complete, we need also to forbid "A." to avoid "in
     B but not in A-dot".  This was not a problem in the original range
     notation, but we should have added this restriction when three-dot
     notation was introduced.

     Unlike "no dot at the beginning of any path component" rule, this
     rule does not have to be "no dot at the end of any path component",
     because you cannot abbreviate the tail end away, similar to you can
     say "dot-B" to mean "refs/heads/dot-B".

For these reasons, it is not likely people created branches with these
names on purpose, but we have allowed such names to be used for quite some
time, and it is possible that people created such branches by mistake or
by accident.

To help people with branches with such unfortunate names to recover,
we still allow "branch -d 'bad.'" to delete such branches, and also allow
"branch -m bad. good" to rename them.

Jeff King 5483f79998 refactor find_ref_by_name() to accept const list
Since it doesn't actually touch its argument, this makes
sense.

However, we still want to return a non-const version (which
requires a cast) so that this:

  struct ref *a, *b;
  a = find_ref_by_name(b);

works. Unfortunately, you can also silently strip the const
from a variable:

  struct ref *a;
  const struct ref *b;
  a = find_ref_by_name(b);

This is a classic C const problem because there is no way to
say "return the type with the same constness that was passed
to us"; we provide the same semantics as standard library
functions like strchr.

Jeff King d1a4489a56 avoid null SHA1 in oldest reflog
When the user specifies a ref by a reflog entry older than
one we have (e.g., "HEAD@{20 years ago"}), we issue a
warning and give them the "from" value of the oldest reflog
entry. That is, we say "we don't know what happened before
this entry, but before this we know we had some particular
SHA1".

However, the oldest reflog entry is often a creation event
such as clone or branch creation. In this case, the entry
claims that the ref went from "00000..." (the null sha1) to
the new value, and the reflog lookup returns the null sha1.

While this is technically correct (the entry tells us that
the ref didn't exist at the specified time) it is not
terribly useful to the end user. What they probably want
instead is "the oldest useful sha1 that this ref ever had".
This patch changes the behavior such that if the oldest ref
would return the null sha1, it instead returns the first
value the ref ever had.

We never discovered this problem in the test scripts because
we created "fake" reflogs that had only a specified segment
of history. This patch updates the tests with a creation
event at the beginning of history.

Jeff King 0b294c0abf make deleting a missing ref more quiet
If git attempts to delete a ref, but the unlink of the ref
file fails, we print a message to stderr. This is usually a
good thing, but if the error is ENOENT, then it indicates
that the ref has _already_ been deleted. And since that's
our goal, it doesn't make sense to complain to the user.

This harmonizes the error reporting behavior for the
unpacked and packed cases; the packed case already printed
nothing on ENOENT, but the unpacked printed unconditionally.

Additionally, send-pack would, when deleting the tracking
ref corresponding to a remote delete, print "Failed to
delete" on any failure. This can be a misleading
message, since we actually _did_ delete at the remote side,
but we failed to delete locally. Rather than make the
message more precise, let's just eliminate it entirely; the
delete_ref routine already takes care of printing out a much
more specific message about what went wrong.

Shawn O. Pearce 0ae91be0e1 Optimize peel_ref for the current ref of a for_each_ref callback
Currently the only caller of peel_ref is show-ref, which is using
this function to show the peeled tag information if it is available
from an existing packed-refs file.  The call happens during the
for_each_ref callback function, so we have the proper struct ref_list
already on the call stack but it is not easily available to return
the peeled information to the caller.

We now save the current struct ref_list item before calling back
into the callback function so that future calls to peel_ref from
within the callback function can quickly access the current ref.
Doing so will save us an lstat() per ref processed as we no longer
have to check the filesystem to see if the ref exists as a loose
file or is packed.  This current ref caching also saves a linear
scan of the cached packed refs list.

As a micro-optimization we test the address of the passed ref name
against the current_ref->name before we go into the much more costly
strcmp().  Nearly any caller of peel_ref will be passing us the same
string do_for_each_ref passed them, which is current_ref->name.

Linus Torvalds c3b0dec509 Be more careful about updating refs
This makes write_ref_sha1() more careful: it actually checks the SHA1 of
the ref it is updating, and refuses to update a ref with an object that it
cannot find.

Perhaps more importantly, it also refuses to update a branch head with a
non-commit object. I don't quite know *how* the stable series maintainers
were able to corrupt their repository to have a HEAD that pointed to a tag
rather than a commit object, but they did. Which results in a totally
broken repository that cannot be cloned or committed on.

So make it harder for people to shoot themselves in the foot like that.

The test t1400-update-ref.sh is fixed at the same time, as it
assumed that the commands involved in the particular test would
not care about corrupted repositories whose refs point at
nonexistant bogus objects.  That assumption does not hold true
anymore.

Junio C Hamano 5f7b202a7f lock_any_ref_for_update(): reject wildcard return from check_ref_format
Recent check_ref_format() returns -3 as well as -1 (general
error) and -2 (less than two levels).  The caller was explicitly
checking for -1, to allow "HEAD" but still needed to disallow
bogus refs.

This introduces symbolic constants for the return values from
check_ref_format() to make them read better and more
meaningful.  Normal ref creation codepath can still treat
non-zero return values as errors.

Junio C Hamano 774751a8bc Re-fix "builtin-commit: fix --signoff"
An earlier fix to the said commit was incomplete; it mixed up the
meaning of the flag parameter passed to the internal fmt_ident()
function, so this corrects it.

git_author_info() and git_committer_info() can be told to issue a
warning when no usable user information is found, and optionally can be
told to error out.  Operations that actually use the information to
record a new commit or a tag will still error out, but the caller to
leave reflog record will just silently use bogus user information.

Not warning on misconfigured user information while writing a reflog
entry is somewhat debatable, but it is probably nicer to the users to
silently let it pass, because the only information you are losing is who
checked out the branch.

 * git_author_info() and git_committer_info() used to take 1 (positive
   int) to error out with a warning on misconfiguration; this is now
   signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME.

 * These functions used to take -1 (negative int) to warn but continue;
   this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME.

 * fmt_ident() function implements the above error reporting behaviour
   common to git_author_info() and git_committer_info().  A symbolic
   constant IDENT_NO_DATE can be or'ed in to the flag parameter to make
   it return only the "Name <email@address.xz>".

 * fmt_name() is a thin wrapper around fmt_ident() that always passes
   IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME and IDENT_NO_DATE.

Steffen Prohaska 605b4978a1 refactor fetch's ref matching to use refname_match()
The old rules used by fetch were coded as a series of ifs.  The old
rules are:
1) match full refname if it starts with "refs/" or matches "HEAD"
2) verify that full refname starts with "refs/"
3) match abbreviated name in "refs/" if it starts with "heads/",
    "tags/", or "remotes/".
4) match abbreviated name in "refs/heads/"

This is replaced by the new rules
a) match full refname
b) match abbreviated name prefixed with "refs/"
c) match abbreviated name prefixed with "refs/heads/"

The details of the new rules are different from the old rules.  We no
longer verify that the full refname starts with "refs/".  The new rule
(a) matches any full string.  The old rules (1) and (2) were stricter.
Now, the caller is responsible for using sensible full refnames.  This
should be the case for the current code.  The new rule (b) is less
strict than old rule (3).  The new rule accepts abbreviated names that
start with a non-standard prefix below "refs/".

Despite this modifications the new rules should handle all cases as
expected.  Two tests are added to verify that fetch does not resolve
short tags or HEAD in remotes.

We may even think about loosening the rules a bit more and unify them
with the rev-parse rules.  This would be done by replacing
ref_ref_fetch_rules with ref_ref_parse_rules.  Note, the two new test
would break.

Steffen Prohaska 79803322c1 add refname_match()
We use at least two rulesets for matching abbreviated refnames with
full refnames (starting with 'refs/').  git-rev-parse and git-fetch
use slightly different rules.

This commit introduces a new function refname_match
(const char *abbrev_name, const char *full_name, const char **rules).

abbrev_name is expanded using the rules and matched against full_name.
If a match is found the function returns true.  rules is a NULL-terminate
list of format patterns with "%.*s", for example:

    const char *ref_rev_parse_rules[] = {
               "%.*s",
               "refs/%.*s",
               "refs/tags/%.*s",
               "refs/heads/%.*s",
               "refs/remotes/%.*s",
               "refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD",
               NULL
    };

Asterisks are included in the format strings because this is the form
required in sha1_name.c.  Sharing the list with the functions there is
a good idea to avoid duplicating the rules.  Hopefully this
facilitates unified matching rules in the future.

This commit makes the rules used by rev-parse for resolving refs to
sha1s available for string comparison.  Before this change, the rules
were buried in get_sha1*() and dwim_ref().

A follow-up commit will refactor the rules used by fetch.

refname_match() will be used for matching refspecs in git-send-pack.

Thanks to Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> for pointing
out that ref_matches_abbrev in remote.c solves a similar problem
and care should be taken to avoid confusion.

Shawn O. Pearce dc49cd769b Cast 64 bit off_t to 32 bit size_t
Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4.
This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose
maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or
mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory.

On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause
the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior.
Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the
-Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t().

In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms
detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed.

inclusion of "reflog on detached HEAD" series by Nico, as having
it in 1.5.0 would really help us remove confusion between
detached and attached states.

Junio C Hamano a2f9fe92eb lock_any_ref_for_update(): do not accept malformatted refs.
We used to use lock_any_ref_for_update() because the command
needs to also update HEAD (which is not under refs/, so
lock_ref_sha1() cannot be used).  The function however did not
check for refs with illegal characters in them.

Use check_ref_format() to catch malformed refs.  For this check,
we specifically do not want to say having less than two levels
in the name is illegal to allow HEAD (and perhaps other special
refs in the future).

Junio C Hamano 47fc52e287 create_symref(): do not assume pathname from git_path() persists long enough
Being lazy to rely on the cycling N buffers mkpath() and friends
return is nice in general, but it makes it too easy to introduce
new bugs that are "mysterious".

Introduction of read_ref() in create_symref() after calling
git_path() to get the git_HEAD value (i.e. the path to create a
new symref at) consumed more than the available buffers and
broke a later call to mkpath() that derives lockpath from it.

Junio C Hamano cb280e1075 Allow non-developer to clone, checkout and fetch more easily.
The code that uses committer_info() in reflog can barf and die
whenever it is asked to update a ref.  And I do not think
calling ignore_missing_committer_name() upfront like recent
receive-pack did in the aplication is a reasonable workaround.

What the patch does.

 - git_committer_info() takes one parameter.  It used to be "if
   this is true, then die() if the name is not available due to
   bad GECOS, otherwise issue a warning once but leave the name
   empty".  The reason was because we wanted to prevent bad
   commits from being made by git-commit-tree (and its
   callers).  The value 0 is only used by "git var -l".

   Now it takes -1, 0 or 1.  When set to -1, it does not
   complain but uses the pw->pw_name when name is not
   available.  Existing 0 and 1 values mean the same thing as
   they used to mean before.  0 means issue warnings and leave
   it empty, 1 means barf and die.

 - ignore_missing_committer_name() and its existing caller
   (receive-pack, to set the reflog) have been removed.

 - git-format-patch, to come up with the phoney message ID when
   asked to thread, now passes -1 to git_committer_info().  This
   codepath uses only the e-mail part, ignoring the name.  It
   used to barf and die.  The other call in the same program
   when asked to add signed-off-by line based on committer
   identity still passes 1 to make sure it barfs instead of
   adding a bogus s-o-b line.

 - log_ref_write in refs.c, to come up with the name to record
   who initiated the ref update in the reflog, passes -1.  It
   used to barf and die.

The last change means that git-update-ref, git-branch, and
commit walker backends can now be used in a repository with
reflog by somebody who does not have the user identity required
to make a commit.  They all used to barf and die.

I've run tests and all of them seem to pass, and also tried "git
clone" as a user whose GECOS is empty -- git clone works again
now (it was broken when reflog was enabled by default).

But this definitely needs extra sets of eyeballs.

Junio C Hamano 76a44c5c0b show-branch --reflog: show the reflog message at the top.
This changes the output so the list at the top shows the reflog
message, along with their relative timestamps.

You can use --reflog=<n> to show <n> most recent log entries, or
use --reflog=<n>,<b> to show <n> entries going back from the
entry <b>.  <b> can be either a number (so --reflog=4,20 shows 4
records starting from @{20}) or a timestamp (e.g. --reflog='4,1 day').

Here is a sample output (with --list option):

  $ git show-branch --reflog=10 --list jc/show-reflog

At @{9}, I had a commit to complete 5 patch series, but I wanted
to consolidate two commits that enhances read_ref_at() into one
(they were @{9}^ and @{9}~3), and another two that touch show-branch
into one (@{9} and @{9}~2).

I first saved them with "format-patch -4", and then did a reset
at @{8}.  At @{7}, I applied one of them with "am", and then
used "git-apply" on the other one, and amended the commit at
@{6} (so @{6} and @{7} has the same parent).  I did not like the
log message, so I amended again at @{5}.

Then I cherry-picked @{9}~2 to create @{3} (the log message
shows that it needs to learn to set GIT_REFLOG_ACTION -- it uses
"git-commit" and the log entry is attributed for it).  Another
cherry-pick built @{2} out of @{9}, but what I wanted to do was
to squash these two into one, so I did a "reset HEAD^" at @{1}
and then made the final commit by amending what was at the top.

beyond the point the user asked, the cut-off time and count are

Junio C Hamano 510c5a8ee3 Move initialization of log_all_ref_updates
The patches to prevent Porcelainish that require working tree
from doing any damage in a bare repository make a lot of sense,
and I want to make the is_bare_git_dir() function more reliable.

In order to allow the repository owner override the heuristic
implemented in is_bare_git_dir() if/when it misidentifies a
particular repository, it would make sense to introduce a new
configuration variable "[core] bare = true/false", and make
is_bare_git_dir() notice it.

The scripts would do a 'repo-config --bool --get core.bare' and
iff the command fails (i.e. there is no such variable in the
configuration file), it would use the heuristic implemented at
the script level [*1*].

However, setup_git_env() which is called a lot earlier than we
even read from the repository configuration currently makes a
call to is_bare_git_dir(), in order to change the default
setting for log_all_ref_updates.  It somehow feels that this is
a hack.

By the way, [*1*] is another thing I hate about the current
config mechanism.  "git-repo-config --get" does not know what
the possible configuration variables are, let alone what the
default values for them are.  It allows us not to maintain a
centralized configuration table, which makes it easy to
introduce ad-hoc variables and gives a warm fuzzy feeling of
being modular, but my feeling is that it is turning out to be a
rather high price to pay for scripts.

Junio C Hamano 1084b845d9 Fix infinite loop when deleting multiple packed refs.
It was stupid to link the same element twice to lock_file_list
and end up in a loop, so we certainly need a fix.

But it is not like we are taking a lock on multiple files in
this case.  It is just that we leave the linked element on the
list even after commit_lock_file() successfully removes the
cruft.

We cannot remove the list element in commit_lock_file(); if we
are interrupted in the middle of list manipulation, the call to
remove_lock_file_on_signal() will happen with a broken list
structure pointed by lock_file_list, which would cause the cruft
to remain, so not removing the list element is the right thing
to do.  Instead we should be reusing the element already on the
list.

There is already a code for that in lock_file() function in
lockfile.c.  The code checks lk->next and the element is linked
only when it is not already on the list -- which is incorrect
for the last element on the list (which has NULL in its next
field), but if you read the check as "is this element already on
the list?" it actually makes sense.  We do not want to link it
on the list again, nor we would want to set up signal/atexit
over and over.

Shawn O. Pearce c4712e4553 Replace mmap with xmmap, better handling MAP_FAILED.
In some cases we did not even bother to check the return value of
mmap() and just assume it worked.  This is bad, because if we are
out of virtual address space the kernel returned MAP_FAILED and we
would attempt to dereference that address, segfaulting without any
real error output to the user.

We are replacing all calls to mmap() with xmmap() and moving all
MAP_FAILED checking into that single location.  If a mmap call
fails we try to release enough least-recently-used pack windows
to possibly succeed, then retry the mmap() attempt.  If we cannot
mmap even after releasing pack memory then we die() as none of our
callers have any reasonable recovery strategy for a failed mmap.

Junio C Hamano f4204ab9f6 Store peeled refs in packed-refs (take 2).
This fixes the previous implementation which failed to optimize
repositories with tons of lightweight tags.  The updated
packed-refs format begins with "# packed-refs with:" line that
lists the kind of extended data the file records.  Currently,
there is only one such extension defined, "peeled".  This stores
the "peeled tag" on a line that immediately follows a line for a
tag object itself in the format "^<sha-1>".

The header line itself and any extended data are ignored by
older implementation, so packed-refs file generated with this
version can still be used by older git.  packed-refs made by
older git can of course be used with this version.

Junio C Hamano ef06b91804 do_for_each_ref: perform the same sanity check for leftovers.
An earlier commit b37a562a added a check to see if the ref
points at a valid object (as a part of 'negative ref' support
which we currently do not use), but did so only while iterating
over both packed and loose refs, and forgot to apply the same
check while iterating over the remaining ones.

We might want to replace the "if null then omit it" check with
"eh --- what business does a 0{40} value have here?" complaint
later since we currently do not use negative refs, but that is
a separate issue.

Petr Baudis 53cce84c05 Fix broken sha1 locking
Current git#next is totally broken wrt. cloning over HTTP, generating refs
at random directories. Of course it's caused by the static get_pathname()
buffer. lock_ref_sha1() stores return value of mkpath()'s get_pathname()
call, then calls lock_ref_sha1_basic() which calls git_path(ref) which
calls get_pathname() at that point returning pointer to the same buffer.
So now you are sprintf()ing a format string into itself, wow! The resulting
pathnames are really cute. (If you've been paying attention, yes, the
mere fact that a format string _could_ write over itself is very wrong
and probably exploitable here. See the other mail I've just sent.)

I've never liked how we use return values of those functions so liberally,
the "allow some random number of get_pathname() return values to work
concurrently" is absolutely horrible pit and we've already fallen in this
before IIRC. I consider it an awful coding practice, you add a call
somewhere and at some other point some distant caller of that breaks since
it reuses the same return values. Not to mention this takes quite some time
to debug.

My gut feeling tells me that there might be more of this.  I don't have
time to review the rest of the users of the refs.c functions though.

Linus Torvalds 434cd0cd30 Enable the packed refs file format
This actually "turns on" the packed ref file format, now that the
infrastructure to do so sanely exists (ie notably the change to make the
reference reading logic take refnames rather than pathnames to the loose
objects that no longer necessarily even exist).

In particular, when the ref lookup hits a refname that has no loose file
associated with it, it falls back on the packed-ref information. Also, the
ref-locking code, while still using a loose file for the locking itself
(and _creating_ a loose file for the new ref) no longer requires that the
old ref be in such an unpacked state.

Finally, this does a minimal hack to git-checkout.sh to rather than check
the ref-file directly, do a "git-rev-parse" on the "heads/$refname".
That's not really wonderful - we should rather really have a special
routine to verify the names as proper branch head names, but it is a
workable solution for now.

With this, I can literally do something like

	git pack-refs
	find .git/refs -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f --

and the end result is a largely working repository (ie I've done two
commits - which creates _one_ unpacked ref file - done things like run
"gitk" and "git log" etc, and it all looks ok).

There are probably things missing, but I'm hoping that the missing things
are now of the "small and obvious" kind, and that somebody else might want
to start looking at this too. Hint hint ;)

that that ref was associated with.  That was not only horribly ugly (a

setup where a ref doesn't have a 1:1 relationship with a particular
pathname.

This fixes things up so that we use the ref-name throughout, and only
turn it into a pathname once we actually look it up in the filesystem.
That makes a lot of things much clearer and more straightforward.

Linus Torvalds e1e22e37f4 Start handling references internally as a sorted in-memory list
This also adds some very rudimentary support for the notion of packed
refs.  HOWEVER! At this point it isn't used to actually look up a ref
yet, only for listing them (ie "for_each_ref()" and friends see the
packed refs, but none of the other single-ref lookup routines).

Note how we keep two separate lists: one for the loose refs, and one for
the packed refs we read. That's so that we can easily keep the two apart,
and read only one set or the other (and still always make sure that the
loose refs take precedence).

[ From this, it's not actually obvious why we'd keep the two separate
  lists, but it's important to have the packed refs on their own list
  later on, when I add support for looking up a single loose one.

  For that case, we will want to read _just_ the packed refs in case the
  single-ref lookup fails, yet we may end up needing the other list at
  some point in the future, so keeping them separated is important ]

Most of the callers except the one in refs.c use the function to
update the index file.  Among the index writers, everybody
except write-tree dies if they cannot open it for writing.

This gives the function an extra argument, to tell it to die
when it cannot create a new file as the lockfile.

The only caller that does not have to die is write-tree, because
updating the index for the cache-tree part is optional and not
being able to do so does not affect the correctness.  I think we
do not have to be so careful and make the failure into die() the

This patch drops the length argument, requiring two nul-terminated
strings; all callsites are updated.  I checked that all of them indeed
provide nul-terminated strings.  Filenames need to be nul-terminated
anyway if they are to be passed to open() etc.  The performance penalty
of the additional strlen() is negligible compared to the system calls
which inevitably surround has_extension() calls.

Additionally, change has_extension() to use size_t inside instead of

Shawn Pearce 818f477c40 Display an error from update-ref if target ref name is invalid.
Alex Riesen (raa.lkml@gmail.com) recently observed that git branch
would fail with no error message due to unexpected situations with
regards to refs.  For example, if .git/refs/heads/gu is a file but
"git branch -b refs/heads/gu/fixa HEAD" was invoked by the user
it would fail silently due to refs/heads/gu being a file and not
a directory.

This change adds a test for trying to create a ref within a directory
that is actually currently a file, and adds error printing within
the ref locking routine should the resolve operation fail.

The error printing code probably belongs at this level of the library
as other failures within the ref locking, writing and logging code
are also currently at this level of the code.

 - updating config file created it under user's umask without

 - updating refs created it under user's umask without

 - switching branches created .git/HEAD under user's umask
   without adjusting.

This moves adjust_shared_perm() from sha1_file.c to path.c,
since a few SIMPLE_PROGRAM need to call repository configuration
functions which in turn need to call adjust_shared_perm().
sha1_file.c needs to link with SHA1 computation library which

(as it was always showing the epoch due to a bad input to strtoul).

Improved the log parser so we only scan backwards towards the
'\n' from the end of the prior log; during this scan the last '>'
is remembered to improve performance (rather than scanning forward
to it).

If the log record matched is the last log record in the file only
use its new sha1 value if the date matches exactly; otherwise we
leave the passed in sha1 alone as it already contains the current
value of the ref.  This way lookups of dates later than the log
end to stick with the current ref value in case the ref was updated
without logging.

If it looks like someone changed the ref without logging it and we
are going to return the sha1 which should have been valid during
the missing period then warn the user that there might be log data
missing and thus their query result may not be accurate.  The check
isn't perfect as its just based on comparing the old and new sha1
values between the two log records but its better than not checking
at all.

Implemented test cases based on git-rev-parse for most of the
boundary conditions.

Shawn Pearce 70e34b2dc8 Fix ref log parsing so it works properly.
The log parser was only ever matching the last log record due to
calling strtoul on "> 1136091609" rather than " 1136091609".  Also
once a match for '@' has been found after the name of the ref there
is no point in looking for another '@' within the remaining text.

Shawn Pearce d556fae2c0 Support 'master@2 hours ago' syntax
Extended sha1 expressions may now include date specifications
which indicate a point in time within the local repository's
history.  If the ref indicated to the left of '@' has a log in
$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref> then the value of the ref at the time indicated
by the specification is obtained from the ref's log.

Shawn Pearce 6de08ae688 Log ref updates to logs/refs/<ref>
If config parameter core.logAllRefUpdates is true or the log
file already exists then append a line to ".git/logs/refs/<ref>"
whenever git-update-ref <ref> is executed.  Each log line contains
the following information:

  oldsha1 <SP> newsha1 <SP> committer <LF>

where committer is the current user, date, time and timezone in
the standard GIT ident format.  If the caller is unable to append
to the log file then git-update-ref will fail without updating <ref>.

An optional message may be included in the log line with the -m flag.

Shawn Pearce 4bd18c43d9 Improve abstraction of ref lock/write.
Created 'struct ref_lock' to contain the data necessary to perform
a ref update.  This change improves writing a ref as the file names
are generated only once (rather than twice) and supports following
symrefs (up to the maximum depth).  Further the ref_lock structure
provides room to extend the update API with ref logging.

Linus Torvalds ca8db1424d [PATCH] Allow reading "symbolic refs" that point to other refs
This extends the ref reading to understand a "symbolic ref": a ref file
that starts with "ref: " and points to another ref file, and thus
introduces the notion of ref aliases.

This is in preparation of allowing HEAD to eventually not be a symlink,
but one of these symbolic refs instead.

[jc: Linus originally required the prefix to be "ref: " five bytes
 and nothing else, but I changed it to allow and strip any number of
 leading whitespaces to match what update-ref.c does.]

Matt Draisey a7e66ae3f7 [PATCH] Make do_each_ref() follow symlinks.
Because there is no reason not to, and this makes things a bit
safer when running "git prune".

[jc: I do not necessarily agree with the reasoning of the
original author that it is a good way to keep "git prune" from
stomping on objects to have a symlink that points at .git/refs
of the repository A in the .git/refs of the repository B when
repository A borrows object database from repository B.  For one
thing, the object database that everybody borrows objects from
may not even have its own .git/refs hierarchy.  Come to think of
it, maybe we should disallow symlink inside .git/refs hierarchy;
we update the files there by creat/rename pair, so having
symlinks would not work anyway when you do anything that would
update them.]
