Use -1 as error return value throughout.
This removes spurious differences in the GIT_TRACE_REFS output, depending on the
ref storage backend active.
Before, the cached ref_iterator (but only that iterator!) would return
peel_object() output directly. No callers relied on the peel_status values
beyond success/failure. All calls to these functions go through
peel_iterated_oid(), which returns peel_object() as a fallback, but also
squashing the error values.
The iteration interface already passes REF_ISSYMREF and REF_ISBROKEN through the
flags argument, so the additional error values in enum peel_status provide no
value.
The ref iteration interface provides a separate peel() function because certain
formats (eg. packed-refs and reftable) can store the peeled object next to the
tag SHA1. Passing the peeled SHA1 as an optional argument to each_ref_fn maps
more naturally to the implementation of ref databases. Changing the code in this
way is left for a future refactoring.

object ID among all hash algorithms. Now that we're going to be
handling objects from multiple hash algorithms, it's important to make
sure that all object IDs have a correct algorithm field.
Introduce a per-algorithm null OID, and add it to struct hash_algo.
Introduce a wrapper function as well, and use it everywhere we used to

All of the other lookup_foo() functions take a repository argument, but
lookup_unknown_object() was never converted, and it uses the_repository

We could leave a wrapper that uses the_repository, but there aren't that
many calls, so we'll just convert them all. I looked briefly at each
site to see if we had a repository struct (besides the_repository) we
could pass, but none of them do (so this conversion to pass
the_repository is a pure noop in each case, though it does take us one

The peel_ref() interface is confusing and error-prone:
- it's typically used by ref iteration callbacks that have both a
refname and oid. But since they pass only the refname, we may load
the ref value from the filesystem again. This is inefficient, but
also means we are open to a race if somebody simultaneously updates
the ref. E.g., this:
int some_ref_cb(const char *refname, const struct object_id *oid, ...)
{
if (!peel_ref(refname, &peeled))
printf("%s peels to %s",
oid_to_hex(oid), oid_to_hex(&peeled);
}
could print nonsense. It is correct to say "refname peels to..."
(you may see the "before" value or the "after" value, either of
which is consistent), but mentioning both oids may be mixing
before/after values.
Worse, whether this is possible depends on whether the optimization
to read from the current iterator value kicks in. So it is actually
not possible with:
for_each_ref(some_ref_cb);
but it _is_ possible with:
head_ref(some_ref_cb);
which does not use the iterator mechanism (though in practice, HEAD
should never peel to anything, so this may not be triggerable).
- it must take a fully-qualified refname for the read_ref_full() code
path to work. Yet we routinely pass it partial refnames from
callbacks to for_each_tag_ref(), etc. This happens to work when
iterating because there we do not call read_ref_full() at all, and
only use the passed refname to check if it is the same as the
iterator. But the requirements for the function parameters are quite
unclear.
Instead of taking a refname, let's instead take an oid. That fixes both
problems. It's a little funny for a "ref" function not to involve refs
at all. The key thing is that it's optimizing under the hood based on
having access to the ref iterator. So let's change the name to make it
clear why you'd want this function versus just peel_object().
There are two other directions I considered but rejected:
- we could pass the peel information into the each_ref_fn callback.
However, we don't know if the caller actually wants it or not. For
packed-refs, providing it is essentially free. But for loose refs,
we actually have to peel the object, which would be wasteful in most
cases. We could likewise pass in a flag to the callback indicating
whether the peeled information is known, but that complicates those
callbacks, as they then have to decide whether to manually peel
themselves. Plus it requires changing the interface of every
callback, whether they care about peeling or not, and there are many
of them.
- we could make a function to return the peeled value of the current
iterated ref (computing it if necessary), and BUG() otherwise. I.e.:
int peel_current_iterated_ref(struct object_id *out);
Each of the current callers is an each_ref_fn callback, so they'd
mostly be happy. But:
- we use those callbacks with functions like head_ref(), which do
not use the iteration code. So we'd need to handle the fallback
case there, anyway.
- it's possible that a caller would want to call into generic code
that sometimes is used during iteration and sometimes not. This
encapsulates the logic to do the fast thing when possible, and
fallback when necessary.
The implementation is mostly obvious, but I want to call out a few
things in the patch:
- the test-tool coverage for peel_ref() is now meaningless, as it all
collapses to a single peel_object() call (arguably they were pretty
uninteresting before; the tricky part of that function is the
fast-path we see during iteration, but these calls didn't trigger
that). I've just dropped it entirely, though note that some other
tests relied on the tags we created; I've moved that creation to the
tests where it matters.
- we no longer need to take a ref_store parameter, since we'd never
look up a ref now. We do still rely on a global "current iterator"
variable which _could_ be kept per-ref-store. But in practice this
is only useful if there are multiple recursive iterations, at which
point the more appropriate solution is probably a stack of
iterators. No caller used the actual ref-store parameter anyway
(they all call the wrapper that passes the_repository).
- the original only kicked in the optimization when the "refname"
pointer matched (i.e., not string comparison). We do likewise with
the "oid" parameter here, but fall back to doing an actual oideq()
call. This in theory lets us kick in the optimization more often,
though in practice no current caller cares. It should never be
wrong, though (peeling is a property of an object, so two refs
pointing to the same object would peel identically).
- the original took care not to touch the peeled out-parameter unless
we found something to put in it. But no caller cares about this, and
anyway, it is enforced by peel_object() itself (and even in the
optimized iterator case, that's where we eventually end up). We can
shorten the code and avoid an extra copy by just passing the
out-parameter through the stack.

for the transitional period while the entire test suite is converted to

We also introduce the `PREPARE_FOR_MAIN_BRANCH` prereq that determines
whether the default main branch name is `main`, and adjust a couple of
test functions to use it. This prereq will be used to temporarily
disable a couple test cases to allow for adjusting the test script

When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch
not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this:

git status
no status is printed, but instead an error message:
fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch
(This error message when running "git branch" persists even after
checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.)
This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD
detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't
work because HEAD no longer points to a branch.

When adding the reference-transaction hook, there were concerns about
the performance impact it may have on setups which do not make use of
the new hook at all. After all, it gets executed every time a reftx is
prepared, committed or aborted, which linearly scales with the number of
reference-transactions created per session. And as there are code paths
like `git push` which create a new transaction for each reference to be
updated, this may translate to calling `find_hook()` quite a lot.
To address this concern, a cache was added with the intention to not
repeatedly do negative hook lookups. Turns out this cache caused a
regression, which was fixed via e5256c82e5 (refs: fix interleaving hook
calls with reference-transaction hook, 2020-08-07). In the process of
discussing the fix, we realized that the cache doesn't really help even
in the negative-lookup case. While performance tests added to benchmark
this did show a slight improvement in the 1% range, this really doesn't
warrent having a cache. Furthermore, it's quite flaky, too. E.g. running
it twice in succession produces the following results:
Test master pks-reftx-hook-remove-cache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.2: update-ref 2.79(2.16+0.74) 2.73(2.12+0.71) -2.2%
1400.3: update-ref --stdin 0.22(0.08+0.14) 0.21(0.08+0.12) -4.5%
Test master pks-reftx-hook-remove-cache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.2: update-ref 2.70(2.09+0.72) 2.74(2.13+0.71) +1.5%
1400.3: update-ref --stdin 0.21(0.10+0.10) 0.21(0.08+0.13) +0.0%
One case notably absent from those benchmarks is a single executable
searching for the hook hundreds of times, which is exactly the case for
which the negative cache was added. p1400.2 will spawn a new update-ref
for each transaction and p1400.3 only has a single reference-transaction
for all reference updates. So this commit adds a third benchmark, which
performs an non-atomic push of a thousand references. This will create a
new reference transaction per reference. But even for this case, the
negative cache doesn't consistently improve performance:
Test master pks-reftx-hook-remove-cache
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.4: nonatomic push 6.63(6.50+0.13) 6.81(6.67+0.14) +2.7%
1400.4: nonatomic push 6.35(6.21+0.14) 6.39(6.23+0.16) +0.6%
1400.4: nonatomic push 6.43(6.31+0.13) 6.42(6.28+0.15) -0.2%
So let's just remove the cache altogether to simplify the code.

In order to not repeatedly search for the reference-transaction hook in
case it's getting called multiple times, we use a caching mechanism to
only call `find_hook()` once. What was missed though is that the return
value of `find_hook()` actually comes from a static strbuf, which means
it will get overwritten when calling `find_hook()` again. As a result,
we may call the wrong hook with parameters of the reference-transaction
hook.
This scenario was spotted in the wild when executing a git-push(1) with
multiple references, where there are interleaving calls to both the
update and the reference-transaction hook. While initial calls to the
reference-transaction hook work as expected, it will stop working after
the next invocation of the update hook. The result is that we now start
calling the update hook with parameters and stdin of the
reference-transaction hook.
This commit fixes the issue by storing a copy of `find_hook()`'s return
value in the cache.

Refs such as REBASE_HEAD are read through the ref backend. This can

updated to use git commands to read refs instead.
The following behaviors change:

Regarding reflog messages:
- We expect that a reflog message consists of a single line. The
file format used by the files backend may add a LF after the
message as a delimiter, and output by commands like "git log -g"
may complete such an incomplete line by adding a LF at the end,
but philosophically, the terminating LF is not a part of the
message.
- We however allow callers of refs API to supply a random sequence
of NUL terminated bytes. We cleanse caller-supplied message by
squashing a run of whitespaces into a SP, and by trimming trailing
whitespace, before storing the message. This is how we tolerate,
instead of erring out, a message with LF in it (be it at the end,
in the middle, or both).
Currently, the cleansing of the reflog message is done by the files
backend, before the log is written out. This is sufficient with the
current code, as that is the only backend that writes reflogs. But
new backends can be added that write reflogs, and we'd want the
resulting log message we would read out of "log -g" the same no
matter what backend is used, and moving the code to do so to the
generic layer is a way to do so.
An added benefit is that the "cleansing" function could be updated
later, independent from individual backends, to e.g. allow
multi-line log messages if we wanted to, and when that happens, it
would help a lot to ensure we covered all bases if the cleansing
function (which would be updated) is called from the generic layer.
Side note: I am not interested in supporting multi-line reflog
messages right at the moment (nobody is asking for it), but I
envision that instead of the "squash a run of whitespaces into a SP
and rtrim" cleansing, we can %urlencode problematic bytes in the
message *AND* append a SP at the end, when a new version of Git that
supports multi-line and/or verbatim reflog messages writes a reflog
record. The reading side can detect the presense of SP at the end
(which should have been rtrimmed out if it were written by existing
versions of Git) as a signal that decoding %urlencode recovers the
original reflog message.

The name of the primary branch in existing repositories, and the
default name used for the first branch in newly created
repositories, is made configurable, so that we can eventually wean
ourselves off of the hardcoded 'master'.
* js/default-branch-name:
contrib: subtree: adjust test to change in fmt-merge-msg
testsvn: respect `init.defaultBranch`
remote: use the configured default branch name when appropriate
clone: use configured default branch name when appropriate
init: allow setting the default for the initial branch name via the config
init: allow specifying the initial branch name for the new repository
docs: add missing diamond brackets
submodule: fall back to remote's HEAD for missing remote.<name>.branch
send-pack/transport-helper: avoid mentioning a particular branch
fmt-merge-msg: stop treating `master` specially
A few fields in "struct commit" that do not have to always be
present have been moved to commit slabs.
* ak/commit-graph-to-slab:
commit-graph: minimize commit_graph_data_slab access
commit: move members graph_pos, generation to a slab
commit-graph: introduce commit_graph_data_slab
object: drop parsed_object_pool->commit_count
We just introduced the command-line option
`--initial-branch=<branch-name>` to allow initializing a new repository
with a different initial branch than the hard-coded one.
To allow users to override the initial branch name more permanently
(i.e. without having to specify the name manually for each and every
`git init` invocation), let's introduce the `init.defaultBranch` config
setting.

The low-level reference transactions used to update references are
currently completely opaque to the user. While certainly desirable in
most usecases, there are some which might want to hook into the
transaction to observe all queued reference updates as well as observing
the abortion or commit of a prepared transaction.
One such usecase would be to have a set of replicas of a given Git
repository, where we perform Git operations on all of the repositories
at once and expect the outcome to be the same in all of them. While
there exist hooks already for a certain subset of Git commands that
could be used to implement a voting mechanism for this, many others
currently don't have any mechanism for this.
The above scenario is the motivation for the new "reference-transaction"
hook that reaches directly into Git's reference transaction mechanism.
The hook receives as parameter the current state the transaction was
moved to ("prepared", "committed" or "aborted") and gets via its
standard input all queued reference updates. While the exit code gets
ignored in the "committed" and "aborted" states, a non-zero exit code in
the "prepared" state will cause the transaction to be aborted
prematurely.
Given the usecase described above, a voting mechanism can now be
implemented via this hook: as soon as it gets called, it will take all
of stdin and use it to cast a vote to a central service. When all
replicas of the repository agree, the hook will exit with zero,
otherwise it will abort the transaction by returning non-zero. The most
important upside is that this will catch _all_ commands writing
references at once, allowing to implement strong consistency for
reference updates via a single mechanism.
In order to test the impact on the case where we don't have any
"reference-transaction" hook installed in the repository, this commit
introduce two new performance tests for git-update-refs(1). Run against
an empty repository, it produces the following results:
Test origin/master HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1400.2: update-ref 2.70(2.10+0.71) 2.71(2.10+0.73) +0.4%
1400.3: update-ref --stdin 0.21(0.09+0.11) 0.21(0.07+0.14) +0.0%
The performance test p1400.2 creates, updates and deletes a branch a
thousand times, thus averaging runtime of git-update-refs over 3000
invocations. p1400.3 instead calls `git-update-refs --stdin` three times
and queues a thousand creations, updates and deletes respectively.
As expected, p1400.3 consistently shows no noticeable impact, as for
each batch of updates there's a single call to access(3P) for the
negative hook lookup. On the other hand, for p1400.2, one can see an
impact caused by this patchset. But doing five runs of the performance
tests where each one was run with GIT_PERF_REPEAT_COUNT=10, the overhead
ranged from -1.5% to +1.1%. These inconsistent performance numbers can
be explained by the overhead of spawning 3000 processes. This shows that
the overhead of assembling the hook path and executing access(3P) once
to check if it's there is mostly outweighed by the operating system's
overhead.

14ba97f8 (alloc: allow arbitrary repositories for alloc functions,
2018-05-15) introduced parsed_object_pool->commit_count to keep count of
commits per repository and was used to assign commit->index.
However, commit-slab code requires commit->index values to be unique
and a global count would be correct, rather than a per-repo count.
Let's introduce a static counter variable, `parsed_commits_count` to
keep track of parsed commits so far.
As commit_count has no use anymore, let's also drop it from the struct.

The "--decorate-refs" and "--decorate-refs-exclude" options "git
log" takes have learned a companion configuration variable
log.excludeDecoration that sits at the lowest priority in the
family.
* ds/log-exclude-decoration-config:
log: add log.excludeDecoration config option
log-tree: make ref_filter_match() a helper method
We've left the command line parsing of "git log :/a/b/" broken for
about a full year without anybody noticing, which has been
corrected.
* jc/missing-ref-store-fix:
repository: mark the "refs" pointer as private
sha1-name: do not assume that the ref store is initialized
The ref_filter_match() method is defined in refs.h and implemented
in refs.c, but is only used by add_ref_decoration() in log-tree.c.
Move it into that file as a static helper method. The
match_ref_pattern() comes along for the ride.
While moving the code, also make a slight adjustment to have
ref_filter_match() take a struct decoration_filter pointer instead
of multiple string lists. This is non-functional, but will make a
later change be much cleaner.
The diff is easier to parse when using the --color-moved option.

The "refs" pointer in a struct repository starts life as NULL, but then
is lazily initialized when it is accessed via get_main_ref_store().
However, it's easy for calling code to forget this and access it
directly, leading to code which works _some_ of the time, but fails if
it is called before anybody else accesses the refs.
This was the cause of the bug fixed by 5ff4b920eb (sha1-name: do not
assume that the ref store is initialized, 2020-04-09). In order to
prevent similar bugs, let's more clearly mark the "refs" field as
private.
In addition to helping future code, the name change will help us audit
any existing direct uses. Besides get_main_ref_store() itself, it turns
out there is only one. But we know it's OK as it is on the line directly
after the fix from 5ff4b920eb, which will have initialized the pointer.
However it's still a good idea for it to model the proper use of the
accessing function, so we'll convert it.
