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.

Suppose a fetch or push is requested between two shallow repositories
(with no history deepening or shortening). A pack that contains
necessary objects is transferred over together with .git/shallow of
the sender. The receiver has to determine whether it needs to update
.git/shallow if new refs needs new shallow comits.
The rule here is avoid updating .git/shallow by default. But we don't
want to waste the received pack. If the pack contains two refs, one
needs new shallow commits installed in .git/shallow and one does not,
we keep the latter and reject/warn about the former.
Even if .git/shallow update is allowed, we only add shallow commits
strictly necessary for the former ref (remember the sender can send
more shallow commits than necessary) and pay attention not to
accidentally cut the receiver history short (no history shortening is
asked for)
So the steps to figure out what ref need what new shallow commits are:
1. Split the sender shallow commit list into "ours" and "theirs" list
by has_sha1_file. Those that exist in current repo in "ours", the
remaining in "theirs".
2. Check the receiver .git/shallow, remove from "ours" the ones that
also exist in .git/shallow.
3. Fetch the new pack. Either install or unpack it.
4. Do has_sha1_file on "theirs" list again. Drop the ones that fail
has_sha1_file. Obviously the new pack does not need them.
5. If the pack is kept, remove from "ours" the ones that do not exist
in the new pack.
6. Walk the new refs to answer the question "what shallow commits,
both ours and theirs, are required in .git/shallow in order to add
this ref?". Shallow commits not associated to any refs are removed
from their respective list.
7. (*) Check reachability (from the current refs) of all remaining
commits in "ours". Those reachable are removed. We do not want to
cut any part of our (reachable) history. We only check up
commits. True reachability test is done by
check_everything_connected() at the end as usual.
8. Combine the final "ours" and "theirs" and add them all to
.git/shallow. Install new refs. The case where some hook rejects
some refs on a push is explained in more detail in the push
patches.
Of these steps, #6 and #7 are expensive. Both require walking through
some commits, or in the worst case all commits. And we rather avoid
them in at least common case, where the transferred pack does not
contain any shallow commits that the sender advertises. Let's look at
each scenario:
1) the sender has longer history than the receiver
All shallow commits from the sender will be put into "theirs" list
at step 1 because none of them exists in current repo. In the
common case, "theirs" becomes empty at step 4 and exit early.
2) the sender has shorter history than the receiver
All shallow commits from the sender are likely in "ours" list at
step 1. In the common case, if the new pack is kept, we could empty
"ours" and exit early at step 5.
If the pack is not kept, we hit the expensive step 6 then exit
after "ours" is emptied. There'll be only a handful of objects to
walk in fast-forward case. If it's forced update, we may need to
walk to the bottom.
3) the sender has same .git/shallow as the receiver
This is similar to case 2 except that "ours" should be emptied at
step 2 and exit early.
A fetch after "clone --depth=X" is case 1. A fetch after "clone" (from
a shallow repo) is case 3. Luckily they're cheap for the common case.
A push from "clone --depth=X" falls into case 2, which is expensive.
Some more work may be done at the sender/client side to avoid more
work on the server side: if the transferred pack does not contain any
shallow commits, send-pack should not send any shallow commits to the
receive-pack, effectively turning it into a normal push and avoid all
steps.
This patch implements all steps except #3, already handled by
fetch-pack and receive-pack, #6 and #7, which has their own patch due
to their size.
(*) in previous versions step 7 was put before step 3. I reorder it so
that the common case that keeps the pack does not need to walk
commits at all. In future if we implement faster commit
reachability check (maybe with the help of pack bitmaps or commit
cache), step 7 could become cheap and be moved up before 6 again.

If either receive-pack or upload-pack is called on a shallow
repository, shallow commits (*) will be sent after the ref
advertisement (but before the packet flush), so that the receiver has
the full "shape" of the sender's commit graph. This will be needed for
the receiver to update its .git/shallow if necessary.
This breaks the protocol for all clients trying to push to a shallow
repo, or fetch from one. Which is basically the same end result as
today's "is_repository_shallow() && die()" in receive-pack and
upload-pack. New clients will be made aware of shallow upstream and
can make use of this information.
The sender must send all shallow commits that are sent in the
following pack. It may send more shallow commits than necessary.
upload-pack for example may choose to advertise no shallow commits if
it knows in advance that the pack it's going to send contains no
shallow commits. But upload-pack is the server, so we choose the
cheaper way, send full .git/shallow and let the client deal with it.
Smart HTTP is not affected by this patch. Shallow support on
smart-http comes later separately.
(*) A shallow commit is a commit that terminates the revision
walker. It is usually put in .git/shallow in order to keep the
revision walker from going out of bound because there is no
guarantee that objects behind this commit is available.

chosen the most recent reflog entry which is an ancestor of the current

When rev-parse looks at whether an argument like "foo..bar" or
"foobar^@" is a difference or parent-shorthand, it internally
munges the arguments so that it can pass the individual rev
arguments to get_sha1(). However, we do not consistently un-munge
the result.
For cases where we do not match (e.g., "doesnotexist..HEAD"), we
would then want to try to treat the argument as a filename.
try_difference gets() this right, and always unmunges in this case.
However, try_parent_shorthand() never unmunges, leading to incorrect
error messages, or even incorrect results:
$ git rev-parse foobar^@
foobar
fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
$ >foobar
$ git rev-parse foobar^@
foobar
For cases where we do match, neither function unmunges. This does
not currently matter, since we are done with the argument. However,
a future patch will do further processing, and this prepares for
it. In addition, it's simply a confusing interface for some cases to
modify the const argument, and others not to.

Rev-parse understands that a "--" may separate revisions and
filenames, and that anything after the "--" is taken as-is.
However, it does not understand that anything before the
token must be a revision (which is the usual rule
implemented by the setup_revisions parser).
Since rev-parse prefers revisions to files when parsing
before the "--", we end up with the correct result (if such
an argument is a revision, we parse it as one, and if it is
not, it is an error either way). However, we misdiagnose
the errors:
$ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null
fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
$ >foobar
$ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null

"foobar" is meant to be a revision, but could not be

":(foo,bar,prefix:2)abc". We do not support prefixing on short form,
