Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

Especially on Windows where an opened file cannot be replaced, make
sure pack-objects always close packs it is about to replace. Even on
non Windows systems, this could save potential bad results if ever
objects were to be read from the new pack file using offset from the old

Earlier commit 5521883 (checkout: do not lose staged removal, 2008-09-07)
tightened the rule to prevent switching branches from losing local
changes, so that staged removal of paths can be protected, while
attempting to keep a loophole to still allow a special case of switching
out of an un-checked-out state.
However, the loophole was made a bit too tight, and did not allow
switching from one branch (in an un-checked-out state) to check out
another branch.
The change to builtin-checkout.c in this commit loosens it to allow this,
by not insisting the original commit and the new commit to be the same.
It also introduces a new function, is_index_unborn (and an associated
macro, is_cache_unborn), to check if the repository is truly in an
un-checked-out state more reliably, by making sure that $GIT_INDEX_FILE
did not exist when populating the in-core index structure. A few places

condition are updated to use this function.

It is possible to have pack corruption in the object header. Currently
unpack_object_header() simply die() on them instead of letting the caller
deal with that gracefully.
So let's have unpack_object_header() return an error instead, and find

Abstract
--------
With index v2 we have a per object CRC to allow quick and safe reuse of
pack data when repacking. This, however, doesn't currently prevent a
stealth corruption from being propagated into a new pack when _not_
reusing pack data as demonstrated by the modification to t5302 included
here.
The Context
-----------
The Git database is all checksummed with SHA1 hashes. Any kind of
corruption can be confirmed by verifying this per object hash against
corresponding data. However this can be costly to perform systematically
and therefore this check is often not performed at run time when
accessing the object database.
First, the loose object format is entirely compressed with zlib which
already provide a CRC verification of its own when inflating data. Any
disk corruption would be caught already in this case.
Then, packed objects are also compressed with zlib but only for their
actual payload. The object headers and delta base references are not
deflated for obvious performance reasons, however this leave them
vulnerable to potentially undetected disk corruptions. Object types
are often validated against the expected type when they're requested,
and deflated size must always match the size recorded in the object header,
so those cases are pretty much covered as well.
Where corruptions could go unnoticed is in the delta base reference.
Of course, in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the odds for a SHA1 reference to
get corrupted so it actually matches the SHA1 of another object with the
same size (the delta header stores the expected size of the base object
to apply against) are virtually zero. In the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case, the
reference is a pack offset which would have to match the start boundary
of a different base object but still with the same size, and although this
is relatively much more "probable" than in the OBJ_REF_DELTA case, the
probability is also about zero in absolute terms. Still, the possibility
exists as demonstrated in t5302 and is certainly greater than a SHA1
collision, especially in the OBJ_OFS_DELTA case which is now the default
when repacking.
Again, repacking by reusing existing pack data is OK since the per object
CRC provided by index v2 guards against any such corruptions. What t5302
failed to test is a full repack in such case.
The Solution
------------
As unlikely as this kind of stealth corruption can be in practice, it
certainly isn't acceptable to propagate it into a freshly created pack.
But, because this is so unlikely, we don't want to pay the run time cost
associated with extra validation checks all the time either. Furthermore,
consequences of such corruption in anything but repacking should be rather
visible, and even if it could be quite unpleasant, it still has far less
severe consequences than actively creating bad packs.
So the best compromize is to check packed object CRC when unpacking
objects, and only during the compression/writing phase of a repack, and
only when not streaming the result. The cost of this is minimal (less
than 1% CPU time), and visible only with a full repack.
Someone with a stats background could provide an objective evaluation of
this, but I suspect that it's bad RAM that has more potential for data
corruptions at this point, even in those cases where this extra check
is not performed. Still, it is best to prevent a known hole for
corruption when recreating object data into a new pack.
What about the streamed pack case? Well, any client receiving a pack
must always consider that pack as untrusty and perform full validation
anyway, hence no such stealth corruption could be propagated to remote
repositoryes already. It is therefore worthless doing local validation
in that case.

If a file is different between the working tree copy, the index, and the
HEAD, then we do not allow it to be deleted without --force.
However, this is overly tight in the face of "git add --intent-to-add":
$ git add --intent-to-add file
$ : oops, I don't actually want to stage that yet
$ git rm --cached file
error: 'empty' has staged content different from both the
file and the HEAD (use -f to force removal)
$ git rm -f --cached file
Unfortunately, there is currently no way to distinguish between an empty
file that has been added and an "intent to add" file. The ideal behavior
would be to disallow the former while allowing the latter.
This patch loosens the safety valve to allow the deletion only if we are
deleting the cached entry and the cached content is empty. This covers
the intent-to-add situation, and assumes there is little harm in not
protecting users who have legitimately added an empty file. In many
cases, the file will still be empty, in which case the safety valve does
not trigger anyway (since the content remains untouched in the working
tree). Otherwise, we do remove the fact that no content was staged, but
given that the content is by definition empty, it is not terribly
difficult for a user to recreate it.
However, we still document the desired behavior in the form of two
tests. One checks the correct removal of an intent-to-add file. The other
checks that we still disallow removal of empty files, but is marked as
expect_failure to indicate this compromise. If the intent-to-add feature
is ever extended to differentiate between normal empty files and
intent-to-add files, then the safety valve can be re-tightened.

When the "git status" display code was originally converted
to C, we copied the code from ls-files to discover whether a
pathname returned by read_directory was an "other", or
untracked, file.
Much later, 5698454e updated the code in ls-files to handle
some new cases caused by gitlinks. This left the code in
wt-status.c broken: it would display submodule directories
as untracked directories. Nobody noticed until now, however,
because unless status.showUntrackedFiles was set to "all",
submodule directories were not actually reported by
read_directory. So the bug was only triggered in the
presence of a submodule _and_ this config option.
This patch pulls the ls-files code into a new function,
cache_name_is_other, and uses it in both places. This should
leave the ls-files functionality the same and fix the bug
in status.

The on-disk format of index only saves 16 bit flags, nearly all have
been used. The last bit (CE_EXTENDED) is used to for future extension.
This patch extends index entry format to save more flags in future.
The new entry format will be used when CE_EXTENDED bit is 1.
Because older implementation may not understand CE_EXTENDED bit and
misread the new format, if there is any extended entry in index, index
header version will turn 3, which makes it incompatible for older git.
If there is none, header version will return to 2 again.

This is because openssl header files are always included in
git-compat-util.h since commit 684ec6c63c whenever NO_OPENSSL is not
set, which somehow brings in <openssl/sha1.h> clashing with the custom
ARM version. Compilation of git is probably broken on PPC too for the
same reason.
Turns out that the only file requiring openssl/ssl.h and openssl/err.h
is imap-send.c. But only moving those problematic includes there
doesn't solve the issue as it also includes cache.h which brings in the
conflicting local SHA1 header file.
As suggested by Jeff King, the best solution is to rename our references
to SHA1 functions and structure to something git specific, and define those
according to the implementation used.

Earlier, when pushing into a repository that borrows from alternate object
stores, we followed the longstanding design decision not to trust refs in
the alternate repository that houses the object store we are borrowing
from. If your public repository is borrowing from Linus's public
repository, you pushed into it long time ago, and now when you try to push
your updated history that is in sync with more recent history from Linus,
you will end up sending not just your own development, but also the
changes you acquired through Linus's tree, even though the objects needed
for the latter already exists at the receiving end. This is because the
receiving end does not advertise that the objects only reachable from the
borrowed repository (i.e. Linus's) are already available there.
This solves the issue by making the receiving end advertise refs from
borrowed repositories. They are not sent with their true names but with a
phoney name ".have" to make sure that the old senders will safely ignore
them (otherwise, the old senders will misbehave, trying to push matching
refs, and mirror push that deletes refs that only exist at the receiving
end).
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
"git push" enhancement allows the receiving end to report not only its own
refs but refs in repositories it borrows from via the alternate object
store mechanism. By telling the sender that objects reachable from these
extra refs are already complete in the receiving end, the number of
objects that need to be transfered can be cut down.
These entries are sent over the wire with string ".have", instead of the
actual names of the refs. This string was chosen so that they are ignored
by older programs at the sending end. If we sent some random but valid
looking refnames for these entries, "matching refs" rule (triggered when
running "git push" without explicit refspecs, where the sender learns what
refs the receiver has, and updates only the ones with the names of the
refs the sender also has) and "delete missing" rule (triggered when "git
push --mirror" is used, where the sender tells the receiver to delete the
refs it itself does not have) would try to update/delete them, which is
not what we want.
This prepares the send-pack (and "push" that runs native protocol) to
accept extended existing ref information and make use of it. The ".have"
entries are excluded from ref matching rules, and are exempt from deletion
rule while pushing with --mirror option, but are still used for pack
generation purposes by providing more "bottom" range commits.

unpack_trees(): protect the handcrafted in-core index from read_cache()
git-p4: Fix one-liner in p4_write_pipe function.
Completion: add missing '=' for 'diff --diff-filter'
Fix 'git help help'
unpack_trees() rebuilds the in-core index from scratch by allocating a new
structure and finishing it off by copying the built one to the final
index.
The resulting in-core index is Ok for most use, but read_cache() does not
recognize it as such. The function is meant to be no-op if you already
have loaded the index, until you call discard_cache().
This change the way read_cache() detects an already initialized in-core
index, by introducing an extra bit, and marks the handcrafted in-core
index as initialized, to avoid this problem.
A better fix in the longer term would be to change the read_cache() API so
that it will always discard and re-read from the on-disk index to avoid
confusion. But there are higher level API that have relied on the current
semantics, and they and their users all need to get converted, which is
outside the scope of 'maint' track.
An example of such a higher level API is write_cache_as_tree(), which is
used by git-write-tree as well as later Porcelains like git-merge, revert
and cherry-pick. In the longer term, we should remove read_cache() from
there and add one to cmd_write_tree(); other callers expect that the
in-core index they prepared is what gets written as a tree so no other
change is necessary for this particular codepath.
The original version of this patch marked the index by pointing an
otherwise wasted malloc'ed memory with o->result.alloc, but this version
uses Linus's idea to use a new "initialized" bit, which is conceptually
much cleaner.
