62e27f273d gitweb: Fix thinko in git_tags and git_heads
git_get_refs_list always return reference to list (and reference to
hash which we ignore), so $taglist (in git_tags) and $headlist (in
git_heads) are always defined, but @$taglist / @$headlist might be
empty. Replaced incorrect "if (defined @$taglist)" with
"if (@$taglist)" in git_tags and respectively in git_heads.

120ddde2a8 gitweb: Make git_get_refs_list do work of git_get_references
Make git_get_refs_list do also work of git_get_references, to avoid
calling git-peek-remote twice.  Change meaning of git_get_refs_list
meaning: it is now type, and not a full path, e.g. we now use
git_get_refs_list("heads") instead of former
git_get_refs_list("refs/heads").

Modify git_summary to use only one call to git_get_refs_list instead
of one call to git_get_references and two to git_get_refs_list.

9704d75ddc gitweb: Always use git-peek-remote in git_get_references
Instead of trying to read info/refs file, which might not be present
(we did fallback to git-ls-remote), always use git-peek-remote in
git_get_references.

It is preparation for git_get_refs_info to also return references
info.  We should not use info/refs for git_get_refs_info as the
repository is not served for http-fetch clients.

1f24c58724 cvsimport: move over to using git-for-each-ref to read refs.
cvsimport opens all of the files in $GIT_DIR/refs/heads and reads
out the sha1's in order to work out what time the last commit on
that branch was made (in CVS) thus allowing incremental updates.
However, this takes no account of hierachical refs naming producing
the following error for each directory in $GIT_DIR/refs:

  Use of uninitialized value in chomp at /usr/bin/git-cvsimport line 503.
  Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
					/usr/bin/git-cvsimport line 505.
  usage: git-cat-file [-t|-s|-e|-p|<type>] <sha1>

Take advantage of the new packed refs work to use the new
for-each-ref iterator to get this information.

cd90e75ff4 gitweb: Even more support for PATH_INFO based URLs
Now the following types of path based URLs are supported:

* project              overview (summary) page of project
* project/branch       shortlog of branch
* project/branch:file  file in branch, blob_plain view
* project/branch:dir/  directory listing of dir in branch, tree view

The following shortcuts works (see explanation below):

* project/branch:      directory listing of branch, main tree view
* project/:file        file in HEAD (raw)
* project/:dir/        directory listing of dir in HEAD
* project/:            directory listing of project's HEAD

We use ':' as separator between branch (ref) name and file name
(pathname) because valid branch (ref) name cannot have ':' inside.
This limit applies to branch name only. This allow for hierarchical
branches e.g. topic branch 'topic/subtopic', separate remotes
tracking branches e.g. 'refs/remotes/origin/HEAD', and discriminate
between head (branch) and tag with the same name.

Empty branch should be interpreted as HEAD.

If pathname (the part after ':') ends with '/', we assume that pathname
is name of directory, and we want to show contents of said directory
using "tree" view. If pathname is empty, it is equivalent to '/' (top
directory).

If pathname (the part after ':') does not end with '/', we assume that
pathname is name of file, and we show contents of said file using
"blob_plain" view.

Pathname is stripped of leading '/', so we can use ':/' to separate
branch from pathname. The rationale behind support for PATH_INFO based
URLs was to support project web pages for small projects: just create
an html branch and then use an URL like
  http://nowhere.com/gitweb.cgi/project.git/html:/index.html
The ':/' syntax allow for working links between .html files served
in such way, e.g. <a href="main.html"> link inside "index.html"
would get
  http://nowhere.com/gitweb.cgi/project.git/html:/main.html.

53cce84c05 Fix broken sha1 locking
Current git#next is totally broken wrt. cloning over HTTP, generating refs
at random directories. Of course it's caused by the static get_pathname()
buffer. lock_ref_sha1() stores return value of mkpath()'s get_pathname()
call, then calls lock_ref_sha1_basic() which calls git_path(ref) which
calls get_pathname() at that point returning pointer to the same buffer.
So now you are sprintf()ing a format string into itself, wow! The resulting
pathnames are really cute. (If you've been paying attention, yes, the
mere fact that a format string _could_ write over itself is very wrong
and probably exploitable here. See the other mail I've just sent.)

I've never liked how we use return values of those functions so liberally,
the "allow some random number of get_pathname() return values to work
concurrently" is absolutely horrible pit and we've already fallen in this
before IIRC. I consider it an awful coding practice, you add a call
somewhere and at some other point some distant caller of that breaks since
it reuses the same return values. Not to mention this takes quite some time
to debug.

My gut feeling tells me that there might be more of this.  I don't have
time to review the rest of the users of the refs.c functions though.

c774b2dcf6 Patch for http-fetch.c and older curl releases

use CURLE_HTTP_NOT_FOUND instead. Newer curl releases keep the
CURLE_HTTP_NOT_FOUND definition but using a -DCURL_NO_OLDIES

This patch makes our code written for newer releases of the curl

f2b5792564 Fix git-am safety checks
An earlier commit cbd64af added a check that prevents "git-am"
to run without its standard input connected to a terminal while
resuming operation.  This was to catch a user error to try
feeding a new patch from its standard input while recovery.

The assumption of the check was that it is an indication that a
new patch is being fed if the standard input is not connected to
a terminal.  It is however not quite correct (the standard input
can be /dev/null if the user knows the operation does not need
any input, for example).  This broke t3403 when the test was run
with its standard input connected to /dev/null.

When git-am is given an explicit command such as --skip, there
is no reason to insist that the standard input is a terminal; we
are not going to read a new patch anyway.

Credit goes to Gerrit Pape for noticing and reporting the
problem with t3403-rebase-skip test.

434cd0cd30 Enable the packed refs file format
This actually "turns on" the packed ref file format, now that the
infrastructure to do so sanely exists (ie notably the change to make the
reference reading logic take refnames rather than pathnames to the loose
objects that no longer necessarily even exist).

In particular, when the ref lookup hits a refname that has no loose file
associated with it, it falls back on the packed-ref information. Also, the
ref-locking code, while still using a loose file for the locking itself
(and _creating_ a loose file for the new ref) no longer requires that the
old ref be in such an unpacked state.

Finally, this does a minimal hack to git-checkout.sh to rather than check
the ref-file directly, do a "git-rev-parse" on the "heads/$refname".
That's not really wonderful - we should rather really have a special
routine to verify the names as proper branch head names, but it is a
workable solution for now.

With this, I can literally do something like

	git pack-refs
	find .git/refs -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f --

and the end result is a largely working repository (ie I've done two
commits - which creates _one_ unpacked ref file - done things like run
"gitk" and "git log" etc, and it all looks ok).

There are probably things missing, but I'm hoping that the missing things
are now of the "small and obvious" kind, and that somebody else might want
to start looking at this too. Hint hint ;)

ed378ec7e8 Make ref resolution saner
The old code used to totally mix up the notion of a ref-name and the path
that that ref was associated with.  That was not only horribly ugly (a
number of users got the path, and then wanted to try to turn it back into
a ref-name again), but it fundamnetally doesn't work at all once we do any
setup where a ref doesn't have a 1:1 relationship with a particular
pathname.

This fixes things up so that we use the ref-name throughout, and only
turn it into a pathname once we actually look it up in the filesystem.
That makes a lot of things much clearer and more straightforward.

e1e22e37f4 Start handling references internally as a sorted in-memory list
This also adds some very rudimentary support for the notion of packed
refs.  HOWEVER! At this point it isn't used to actually look up a ref
yet, only for listing them (ie "for_each_ref()" and friends see the
packed refs, but none of the other single-ref lookup routines).

Note how we keep two separate lists: one for the loose refs, and one for
the packed refs we read. That's so that we can easily keep the two apart,
and read only one set or the other (and still always make sure that the
loose refs take precedence).

[ From this, it's not actually obvious why we'd keep the two separate
  lists, but it's important to have the packed refs on their own list
  later on, when I add support for looking up a single loose one.

  For that case, we will want to read _just_ the packed refs in case the
  single-ref lookup fails, yet we may end up needing the other list at
  some point in the future, so keeping them separated is important ]

9c95fbf94f upload-archive: monitor child communication even more carefully.
The current code works like this: if others flags than POLLIN is
raised we assume that (a) something bad happened and the child died or
(b) the child has closed the pipe because it had no more data to send.

For the latter case, we assume wrongly that one call to
process_input() will empty the pipe. Indeed it reads only 16Ko of data
by call and the the pipe capacity can be larger than that (on current
Linux kernel, it is 65536 bytes). Therefore the child can write 32ko
of data, for example, and close the pipe. After that poll will return
POLLIN _and_ POLLHUP and the parent will read only 16ko of data.

This patch forces the parent to empty the pipe as soon as POLLIN is
raised and even if POLLHUP or something else is raised too.

Moreover, some implementations of poll might return POLLRDNORM flag
even if it is non standard.

4be609625e apply --unidiff-zero: loosen sanity checks for --unidiff=0 patches
In "git-apply", we have a few sanity checks and heuristics that
expects that the patch fed to us is a unified diff with at least
one line of context.

 * When there is no leading context line in a hunk, the hunk
   must apply at the beginning of the preimage.  Similarly, no
   trailing context means that the hunk is anchored at the end.

 * We learn a patch deletes the file from a hunk that has no
   resulting line (i.e. all lines are prefixed with '-') if it
   has not otherwise been known if the patch deletes the file.
   Similarly, no old line means the file is being created.

And we declare an error condition when the file created by a
creation patch already exists, and/or when a deletion patch
still leaves content in the file.

These sanity checks are good safety measures, but breaks down
when people feed a diff generated with --unified=0.  This was
recently noticed first by Matthew Wilcox and Gerrit Pape.

This adds a new flag, --unified-zero, to allow bypassing these
checks.  If you are in control of the patch generation process,
you should not use --unified=0 patch and fix it up with this
flag; rather you should try work with a patch with context.  But
if all you have to work with is a patch without context, this
flag may come handy as the last resort.

the packed-refs update without running it under "sh -x".  This
makes output from "sh t1400-update-ref.sh -v" more descriptive.

Updating other tests would be a good janitorial task.

4adffc7b54 Add ftp:// protocol support for git-http-fetch
Based on Sasha Khapyorsky's patch but adjusted to the refactored
"missing target" detection code.

It might have been better if the program were called
git-url-fetch but it is too late now ;-).

be4a015b0f http-fetch.c: consolidate code to detect missing fetch target
At a handful places we check two error codes from curl library
to see if the file we asked was missing from the remote (e.g.
we asked for a loose object when it is in a pack) to decide what
to do next.  This consolidates the check into a single function.

NOTE: the original did not check for HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR when
error code is 404, but this version does to make sure 404 is
from HTTP and not some other protcol.

9f613ddd21 Add git-for-each-ref: helper for language bindings
This adds a new command, git-for-each-ref.  You can have it iterate
over refs and have it output various aspects of the objects they
refer to.

305e22c36e Teach "git checkout" to use git-show-ref
That way, it doesn't care how the refs are stored any more

358ddb62cf Add "git show-ref" builtin command
It's kind of like "git peek-remote", but works only locally (and thus
avoids the whole overhead of git_connect()) and has some extra
verification features.

For example, it allows you to filter the results, and to choose whether
you want the tag dereferencing or not. You can also use it to just test
whether a particular ref exists.

For example:

	git show-ref master

will show all references called "master", whether tags or heads or
anything else, and regardless of how deep in the reference naming
hierarchy they are (so it would show "refs/heads/master" but also
"refs/remote/other-repo/master").

When using the "--verify" flag, the command requires an exact ref path:

	git show-ref --verify refs/heads/master

will only match the exact branch called "master".

If nothing matches, show-ref will return an error code of 1, and in the
case of verification, it will show an error message.

For scripting, you can ask it to be quiet with the "--quiet" flag, which
allows you to do things like

	git-show-ref --quiet --verify -- "refs/heads/$headname" ||
		echo "$headname is not a valid branch"

to check whether a particular branch exists or not (notice how we don't
actually want to show any results, and we want to use the full refname for
it in order to not trigger the problem with ambiguous partial matches).

To show only tags, or only proper branch heads, use "--tags" and/or
"--heads" respectively (using both means that it shows tags _and_ heads,
but not other random references under the refs/ subdirectory).

To do automatic tag object dereferencing, use the "-d" or "--dereference"
flag, so you can do

	git show-ref --tags --dereference

to get a listing of all tags together with what they dereference.
