Renaming the current branch adds an event to the current branch's log
and to HEAD's log. However, the logged entries differ. The entry in
the branch's log represents the entire renaming operation (the old and
new hash are identical), whereas the entry in HEAD's log represents
the deletion only (the new sha1 is null).
Extend replace_each_worktree_head_symref(), whose only caller is
branch_rename(), to take a reflog message argument. This allows the
creation of the new ref to be recorded in HEAD's log. As a result,
the renaming event is represented by two entries (a deletion and a
creation entry) in HEAD's log.
It's a bit unfortunate that the branch's log and HEAD's log now
represent the renaming event in different ways. Given that the
renaming operation is not atomic, the two-entry form is a more
accurate representation of the operation and is more useful for
debugging purposes if a failure occurs between the deletion and
creation events. It would make sense to move the branch's log to the
two-entry form, but this would involve changes to how the rename is
carried out and to how the update flags and reflogs are processed for
deletions, so it may not be worth the effort.

When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).
However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than
the performance implications of keeping the log around.
This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

This function find_shared_symref() is used in a couple places:
1) in builtin/branch.c: it's used to detect if a branch is checked out
elsewhere and refuse to delete the branch.
2) in builtin/notes.c: it's used to detect if a note is being merged in
another worktree
3) in branch.c, the function die_if_checked_out() is actually used by
"git checkout" and "git worktree add" to see if a branch is already
checked out elsewhere and refuse the operation.
In cases 1 and 3, if a rebase is ongoing, "HEAD" will be in detached
mode, find_shared_symref() fails to detect it and declares "no branch is
checked out here", which is not really what we want.
This patch tightens the test. If the given symref is "HEAD", we try to
detect if rebase is ongoing. If so return the branch being rebased. This
makes checkout and branch delete operations safer because you can't
checkout a branch being rebased in another place, or delete it.
Special case for checkout. If the current branch is being rebased,
git-rebase.sh may use "git checkout" to abort and return back to the
original branch. The updated test in find_shared_symref() will prevent
that and "git rebase --abort" will fail as a result.
find_shared_symref() and die_if_checked_out() have to learn a new
option ignore_current_worktree to loosen the test a bit.

The desired default behavior for `git_config_set` is to die
whenever an error occurs. Dying is the default for a lot of
internal functions when failures occur and is in this case the

inconsistent repositories without noticing.
As some code may rely on the actual return values for

there as the function is not only invoked when explicitly setting
upstream information with `git branch --set-upstream-to=`, but

One of the most common uses of git_path() is to pass a
constant, like git_path("MERGE_MSG"). This has two
drawbacks:
1. The return value is a static buffer, and the lifetime
is dependent on other calls to git_path, etc.
2. There's no compile-time checking of the pathname. This
is OK for a one-off (after all, we have to spell it
correctly at least once), but many of these constant
strings appear throughout the code.
This patch introduces a series of functions to "memoize"
these strings, which are essentially globals for the
lifetime of the program. We compute the value once, take
ownership of the buffer, and return the cached value for
subsequent calls. cache.h provides a helper macro for
defining these functions as one-liners, and defines a few
common ones for global use.
Using a macro is a little bit gross, but it does nicely
document the purpose of the functions. If we need to touch
them all later (e.g., because we learned how to change the
git_dir variable at runtime, and need to invalidate all of
the stored values), it will be much easier to have the
complete list.
Note that the shared-global functions have separate, manual
declarations. We could do something clever with the macros
(e.g., expand it to a declaration in some places, and a
declaration _and_ a definition in path.c). But there aren't
that many, and it's probably better to stay away from
too-magical macros.
Likewise, if we abandon the C preprocessor in favor of
generating these with a script, we could get much fancier.
E.g., normalizing "FOO/BAR-BAZ" into "git_path_foo_bar_baz".
But the small amount of saved typing is probably not worth
the resulting confusion to readers who want to grep for the
function's definition.

Currently `git_config()` returns an integer signifying an error code.
During rewrites of the function most of the code was shifted to
`git_config_with_options()`. `git_config_with_options()` normally
returns positive values if its `config_source` parameter is set as NULL,
as most errors are fatal, and non-fatal potential errors are guarded
by "if" statements that are entered only when no error is possible.
Still a negative value can be returned in case of race condition between
`access_or_die()` & `git_config_from_file()`. Also, all callers of
`git_config()` ignore the return value except for one case in branch.c.
Change `git_config()` return value to void and make it die if it receives
a negative value from `git_config_with_options()`.

The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content
past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While
this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use
for two reasons:
1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string
as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable.
For example:
tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo");
if (tmp)
buf = tmp;
2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as
you need extra parentheses to silence compiler
warnings. For example:
if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"))
/* do something with cp */
Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and
we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line
of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past
the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra
strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but
means we are repeating ourselves).
This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean,
and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the
prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This
lets you write:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg))
do_foo(arg);
else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg))
do_bar(arg);

When creating an upstream relationship, we use the configured remotes and
their refspecs to determine the upstream configuration settings
branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge. However, if the matching
refspec does not have refs/heads/<something> on the remote side, we end
up rejecting the match, and failing the upstream configuration.
It could be argued that when we set up an branch's upstream, we want that
upstream to also be a proper branch in the remote repo. Although this is
typically the common case, there are cases (as demonstrated by the previous
patch in this series) where this requirement prevents a useful upstream
relationship from being formed. Furthermore:
- We have fundamentally no say in how the remote repo have organized its
branches. The remote repo may put branches (or branch-like constructs
that are insteresting for downstreams to track) outside refs/heads/*.
- The user may intentionally want to track a non-branch from a remote
repo, by using a branch and configured upstream in the local repo.
Relaxing the checking to only require a matching remote/refspec allows the
testcase introduced in the previous patch to succeed, and has no negative
effect on the rest of the test suite.
This patch fixes a behavior (arguably a regression) first introduced in
41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of
refs/remotes/*) on 2013-04-21 (released in >= v1.8.3.2).

checkout: Use remote refspecs when DWIMming tracking branches
t2024: Show failure to use refspec when DWIMming remote branch names
t2024: Add tests verifying current DWIM behavior of 'git checkout <branch>'
The current code for validating tracking branches (e.g. the argument to
the -t/--track option) hardcodes refs/heads/* and refs/remotes/* as the
potential locations for tracking branches. This works with the refspecs
created by "git clone" or "git remote add", but is suboptimal in other
cases:
- If "refs/remotes/foo/bar" exists without any association to a remote
(i.e. there is no remote named "foo", or no remote with a refspec
that matches "refs/remotes/foo/bar"), then it is impossible to set up
a valid upstream config that tracks it. Currently, the code defaults
to using "refs/remotes/foo/bar" from repo "." as the upstream, which
works, but is probably not what the user had in mind when running
"git branch baz --track foo/bar".
- If the user has tweaked the fetch refspec for a remote to put its
remote-tracking branches outside of refs/remotes/*, e.g. by running
git config remote.foo.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/foo_stuff/*"
then the current code will refuse to use its remote-tracking branches
as --track arguments, since they do not match refs/remotes/*.
This patch removes the "refs/remotes/*" requirement for upstream branches,
and replaces it with explicit checking of the refspecs for each remote to
determine whether a given --track argument is a valid remote-tracking
branch. This solves both of the above problems, since the matching refspec
guarantees that there is a both a remote name and a remote branch name
that can be used for the upstream config.
However, this means that refs located within refs/remotes/* without a
corresponding remote/refspec will no longer be usable as upstreams.
The few existing tests which depended on this behavioral quirk has
already been fixed in the preceding patches.
This patch fixes the last remaining test failure in t2024-checkout-dwim.

the user figure out why it didn't work (e.g., if they gave
us the arguments in the wrong order).

If we are trying to set the upstream config for a branch,
the create_branch function will check both that the name
resolves as a ref, and that it is either a local or
remote-tracking branch.
However, before we do so we run get_sha1 on it to find out
whether it resolves at all (since the create_branch function
is also used to create actual branches, it wants to know
where to start the new branch). This means that if you feed
a ref that does not exist to "branch --set-upstream-to",
rather than getting a helpful message about tracking, you
only get "not a valid object name".

This message is duplicated, and is quite long. Let's factor
it out, which avoids the repetition and the long lines. It
will also make future patches easier as we tweak the
message.
While we're at it, let's also mark it for translation.

Like the "switched to..." message (which is already
suppressed by "-q"), this message is purely informational.
Let's silence it if the user asked us to be quiet.
This patch is slightly more than a one-liner, because we
have to teach create_branch to propagate the flag all the
way down to install_branch_config.
