"git clone" uses shortcuts when creating the initial set of
references:
* It writes them directly to packed-refs.
* It doesn't lock the individual references (though it does lock the
packed-refs file).
* It doesn't check for refname conflicts between two new references or
between one new reference and any hypothetical old ones.
* It doesn't create reflog entries for the reference creations.
This functionality was implemented in builtin/clone.c. But really that
file shouldn't have such intimate knowledge of how references are
stored. So provide a new function in the refs API,
initial_ref_transaction_commit(), which can be used for initial
reference creation. The new function is based on the ref_transaction
interface.
This means that we can make some other functions private to the refs
module. That will be done in a followup commit.
It would seem to make sense to add a test here that there are no
existing references, because that is how the function *should* be
used. But in fact, the "testgit" remote helper appears to call it
*after* having set up refs/remotes/<name>/HEAD and
refs/remotes/<name>/master, so we can't be so strict. For now, the
function trusts its caller to only call it when it makes sense. Future
commits will add some more limited sanity checks.

with native transports.
* mh/clone-verbosity-fix:
clone: call transport_set_verbosity before anything else on the newly created transport
Commit 2879bc3 made the progress and verbosity options sent to remote helper
earlier than they previously were. But nothing else after that would send
updates if the value is changed later on with transport_set_verbosity.
While for fetch and push, transport_set_verbosity is the first thing that
is done after creating the transport, it was not the case for clone. So
commit 2879bc3 broke changing progress and verbosity for clone, for urls
requiring a remote helper only (so, not git:// urls, for instance).
Moving transport_set_verbosity to just after the transport is created
works around the issue.

If clone fails, we generally try to clean up any directories
we've created. We do this by installing an atexit handler,
so that we don't have to manually trigger cleanup. However,
since we install this after touching the filesystem, any
errors between our initial mkdir() and our atexit() call
will result in us leaving a crufty directory around.
We can fix this by moving our atexit() call earlier. It's OK
to do it before the junk_work_tree variable is set, because
remove_junk makes sure the variable is initialized. This
means we "activate" the handler by assigning to the
junk_work_tree variable, which we now bump down to just
after we call mkdir(). We probably do not want to do it
before, because a plausible reason for mkdir() to fail is
EEXIST (i.e., we are racing with another "git init"), and we
would not want to remove their work.
OTOH, this is probably not that big a deal; we will allow
cloning into an empty directory (and skip the mkdir), which
is already racy (i.e., one clone may see the other's empty
dir and start writing into it). Still, it does not hurt to
err on the side of caution here.
Note that writing into junk_work_tree and junk_git_dir after
installing the handler is also technically racy, as we call
our handler on an async signal. Depending on the platform,
we could see a sheared write to the variables. Traditionally
we have not worried about this, and indeed we already do
this later in the function. If we want to address that, it
can come as a separate topic.

Before the previous commit, get_pathname returns an array of PATH_MAX

After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just

Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const

While use of the --reference option to borrow objects from an
existing local repository of the same project is an effective way to
reduce traffic when cloning a project over the network, it makes the
resulting "borrowing" repository dependent on the "borrowed"
repository. After running
git clone --reference=P $URL Q
the resulting repository Q will be broken if the borrowed repository
P disappears.
The way to allow the borrowed repository to be removed is to repack
the borrowing repository (i.e. run "git repack -a -d" in Q); while
power users may know it very well, it is not easily discoverable.
Teach a new "--dissociate" option to "git clone" to run this
repacking for the user.

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);

Cloning from a shallow repository does not follow the "8 steps for new
.git/shallow" because if it does we need to get through step 6 for all
refs. That means commit walking down to the bottom.
Instead the rule to create .git/shallow is simpler and, more
importantly, cheap: if a shallow commit is found in the pack, it's
probably used (i.e. reachable from some refs), so we add it. Others
are dropped.
One may notice this method seems flawed by the word "probably". A
shallow commit may not be reachable from any refs at all if it's
attached to an object island (a group of objects that are not
reachable by any refs).
If that object island is not complete, a new fetch request may send
more objects to connect it to some ref. At that time, because we
incorrectly installed the shallow commit in this island, the user will
not see anything after that commit (fsck is still ok). This is not
desired.
Given that object islands are rare (C Git never sends such islands for
security reasons) and do not really harm the repository integrity, a
tradeoff is made to surprise the user occasionally but work faster
everyday.
A new option --strict could be added later that follows exactly the 8
steps. "git prune" can also learn to remove dangling objects _and_ the
shallow commits that are attached to them from .git/shallow.

A clone will always create a transport struct, whether we
are cloning locally or using an actual protocol. In the
local case, we only use the transport to get the list of
refs, and then transfer the objects out-of-band.
However, there are many options that we do not bother
setting up in the local case. For the most part, these are
noops, because they only affect the object-fetching stage
(e.g., the --depth option). However, some options do have a
visible impact. For example, giving the path to upload-pack
via "-u" does not currently work for a local clone, even
though we need upload-pack to get the ref list.
We can just drop the conditional entirely and set these
options for both local and non-local clones. Rather than
keep track of which options impact the object versus the ref
fetching stage, we can simply let the noops be noops (and
the cost of setting the options in the first place is not
high).
The one exception is that we also check that the transport
provides both a "get_refs_list" and a "fetch" method. We
will now be checking the former for both cases (which is
good, since a transport that cannot fetch refs would not
work for a local clone), and we tweak the conditional to
check for a "fetch" only when we are non-local.

When stderr does not point to a tty, we typically suppress
"we are now in this phase" progress reporting (e.g., we ask
the server not to send us "counting objects" and the like).
The new "checking connectivity" message is in the same vein,
and should be suppressed. Since clone relies on the
transport code to make the decision, we can simply sneak a
peek at the "progress" field of the transport struct. That
properly takes into account both the verbosity and progress
options we were given, as well as the result of isatty().
Note that we do not set up that progress flag for a local
clone, as we do not fetch using the transport at all. That's
acceptable here, though, because we also do not perform a
connectivity check in that case.
