"git fetch" learned a new option "--negotiation-tip" to limit the
set of commits it tells the other end as "have", to reduce wasted
bandwidth and cycles, which would be helpful when the receiving
repository has a lot of refs that have little to do with the
history at the remote it is fetching from.
* jt/fetch-nego-tip:
fetch-pack: support negotiation tip whitelist
When a user fetches:
- at least one up-to-date ref and at least one non-up-to-date ref,
- using HTTP with protocol v0 (or something else that uses the fetch
command of a remote helper)
some refs might not be updated after the fetch.
This bug was introduced in commit 989b8c4452 ("fetch-pack: put shallow
info in output parameter", 2018-06-28) which allowed transports to
report the refs that they have fetched in a new out-parameter
"fetched_refs". If they do so, transport_fetch_refs() makes this
information available to its caller.
Users of "fetched_refs" rely on the following 3 properties:
(1) it is the complete list of refs that was passed to
transport_fetch_refs(),
(2) it has shallow information (REF_STATUS_REJECT_SHALLOW set if
relevant), and
(3) it has updated OIDs if ref-in-want was used (introduced after
989b8c4452).
In an effort to satisfy (1), whenever transport_fetch_refs()
filters the refs sent to the transport, it re-adds the filtered refs to
whatever the transport supplies before returning it to the user.
However, the implementation in 989b8c4452 unconditionally re-adds the
filtered refs without checking if the transport refrained from reporting
anything in "fetched_refs" (which it is allowed to do), resulting in an
incomplete list, no longer satisfying (1).
An earlier effort to resolve this [1] solved the issue by readding the
filtered refs only if the transport did not refrain from reporting in
"fetched_refs", but after further discussion, it seems that the better
solution is to revert the API change that introduced "fetched_refs".
This API change was first suggested as part of a ref-in-want
implementation that allowed for ref patterns and, thus, there could be
drastic differences between the input refs and the refs actually fetched
[2]; we eventually decided to only allow exact ref names, but this API
change remained even though its necessity was decreased.
Therefore, revert this API change by reverting commit 989b8c4452, and
make receive_wanted_refs() update the OIDs in the sought array (like how
update_shallow() updates shallow information in the sought array)
instead. A test is also included to show that the user-visible bug
discussed at the beginning of this commit message no longer exists.

During negotiation, fetch-pack eventually reports as "have" lines all
commits reachable from all refs. Allow the user to restrict the commits
sent in this way by providing a whitelist of tips; only the tips
themselves and their ancestors will be sent.
Both globs and single objects are supported.
This feature is only supported for protocols that support connect or
stateless-connect (such as HTTP with protocol v2).
This will speed up negotiation when the repository has multiple
relatively independent branches (for example, when a repository
interacts with multiple repositories, such as with linux-next [1] and
torvalds/linux [2]), and the user knows which local branch is likely to
have commits in common with the upstream branch they are fetching.

When fetching, connectivity is checked after the shallow file is
updated. There are 2 issues with this: (1) the connectivity check is
only performed up to ancestors of existing refs (which is not thorough
enough if we were deepening an existing ref in the first place), and (2)
there is no rollback of the shallow file if the connectivity check
fails.
To solve (1), update the connectivity check to check the ancestry chain
completely in the case of a deepening fetch by refraining from passing
"--not --all" when invoking rev-list in connected.c.
To solve (2), have fetch_pack() perform its own connectivity check
before updating the shallow file. To support existing use cases in which
"git fetch-pack" is used to download objects without much regard as to
the connectivity of the resulting objects with respect to the existing
repository, the connectivity check is only done if necessary (that is,
the fetch is not a clone, and the fetch involves shallow/deepen
functionality). "git fetch" still performs its own connectivity check,
preserving correctness but sometimes performing redundant work. This
redundancy is mitigated by the fact that fetch_pack() reports if it has
performed a connectivity check itself, and if the transport supports
connect or stateless-connect, it will bubble up that report so that "git
fetch" knows not to perform the connectivity check in such a case.
This was noticed when a user tried to deepen an existing repository by
fetching with --no-shallow from a server that did not send all necessary
objects - the connectivity check as run by "git fetch" succeeded, but a
subsequent "git fsck" failed.

Expand the transport fetch method signature, by adding an output
parameter, to allow transports to return information about the refs they
have fetched. Then communicate shallow status information through this
mechanism instead of by modifying the input list of refs.
This does require clients to sometimes generate the ref map twice: once
from the list of refs provided by the remote (as is currently done) and
potentially once from the new list of refs that the fetch mechanism
provides.

This is an attempt to resolve an issue I experience with people that are
new to Git -- especially colleagues in a team setting -- where they miss
that their push to a remote location failed because the failure and
success both return a block of white text.
An example is if I push something to a remote repository and then a
colleague attempts to push to the same remote repository and the push
fails because it requires them to pull first, but they don't notice
because a success and failure both return a block of white text. They
then continue about their business, thinking it has been successfully
pushed.
This patch colorizes the errors and hints (in red and yellow,
respectively) so whenever there is a failure when pushing to a remote
repository that fails, it is more noticeable.

Introduce the transport-helper capability 'stateless-connect'. This
capability indicates that the transport-helper can be requested to run
the 'stateless-connect' command which should attempt to make a
stateless connection with a remote end. Once established, the
connection can be used by the git client to communicate with
the remote end natively in a stateless-rpc manner as supported by
protocol v2. This means that the client must send everything the server
needs in a single request as the client must not assume any
state-storing on the part of the server or transport.
If a stateless connection cannot be established then the remote-helper
will respond in the same manner as the 'connect' command indicating that
the client should fallback to using the dumb remote-helper commands.
A future patch will implement the 'stateless-connect' capability in our
http remote-helper (remote-curl) so that protocol v2 can be used using
the http transport.

Move the definition of the transport-specific functions provided by
transports, whether declared in transport.c or transport-helper.c, into
an internal header. This means that transport-using code (as opposed to
transport-declaring code) can no longer access these functions (without
importing the internal header themselves), making it clear that they
should use the transport_*() functions instead, and also allowing the
interface between the transport mechanism and an individual transport to
independently evolve.
This is superficially a reversal of commit 824d5776c3 ("Refactor
struct transport_ops inlined into struct transport", 2007-09-19).
However, the scope of the involved variables was neither affected nor
discussed in that commit, and I think that the advantages in making
those functions more private outweigh the advantages described in that
commit's commit message. A minor additional point is that the code has
gotten more complicated since then, in that the function-pointer
variables are potentially mutated twice (once initially and once if
transport_take_over() is invoked), increasing the value of corralling
them into their own struct.

Introduce fetch-object, providing the ability to fetch one object from a
promisor remote.
This uses fetch-pack. To do this, the transport mechanism has been
updated with 2 flags, "from-promisor" to indicate that the resulting
pack comes from a promisor remote (and thus should be annotated as such
by index-pack), and "no-dependents" to indicate that only the objects
themselves need to be fetched (but fetching additional objects is
nevertheless safe).
Whenever "no-dependents" is used, fetch-pack will refrain from using any
object flags, because it is most likely invoked as part of a dynamic
object fetch by another Git command (which may itself use object flags).
An alternative to this is to leave fetch-pack alone, and instead update
the allocation of flags so that fetch-pack's flags never overlap with
any others, but this will end up shrinking the number of flags available
to nearly every other Git command (that is, every Git command that
accesses objects), so the approach in this commit was used instead.
This will be tested in a subsequent commit.
